EP 1,167B - How Science is Reversing the Damage to our Health that Starts from Birth

Could we all live longer and better by preventing and reversing the effects of hidden stress? This isn’t the normal stress that we hear about—this stress comes from the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the consumer products and vehicles that we use. And how do the places where we live and work either help us overcome those stresses or make them worse? Today we’ll learn the problems that are triggered by these stresses are being prevented and reversed.Thousands of heart patients are getting better instead of slowly worse because their doctors are targeting something new. Usually, when someone is told that their arteries are hardened or blocked, they're prescribed drugs or surgery that minimize the symptoms. They might also be told how diet and exercise can slow it but no treatment will stop or reverse the process.That's changing. These are the stories of doctors, patients, and scientists who together are reversing the damage caused by hidden stress. Their successes are opening doors to discovering the nature of longevity.The challenge that they're targeting is when the immune system backfires due to hidden stresses such as toxic metals and low-grade infections. These aren't on the standard list of heart risks.Advanced technology combined with personalized approaches are driving a wave of affordable prevention and therapy that target these risks.In response to this, more patients are taking charge of their own health. The stories of how they're doing it are told here by a seasoned author who spent decades researching, while co-founding a medical biotech company and developing healthy products. Those combined insights allowed Douglas Mulhall to see before others how targeting hidden stress is opening new doors to healthier longevity.

EP 1,166B - How Science Works

For centuries, science has been driven by human intellect. But what will science look like with AI at its creative center?While the world begins to grapple with the promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence, its potential impact on science and medicine is fast becoming the subject of discussion. As the use of AI techniques to analyze data become more widespread, it raises the question of how long science and medicine will even continue to be driven by human intellect.But before we try to imagine the future of these fields, we need to take an honest look at how science and medicine are currently practiced. That's what Ben Lewin does in this book, covering everything from the "grant game" that doctors and scientists have to play (doing the research they think can get funded rather than the research they think will most benefit mankind), to the "publish or perish" mentality that permeates both teaching hospitals and universities (despite the fact that the papers are a "myth" in that they present the research process as linear even though that's not how science works), to the way politics can stall even the most promising fields of study (like stem cells, which keep facing roadblocks even after demonstrating the potential for building replacement organs).

Tips to Beat Stress

Dr. Bradley Nelson explains why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity.Stress puts our health at risk, damaging our body’s systems and contributing to irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, and a myriad of other diseases and ailments.But, people can disarm the harmful effects of stress naturally and holistically. Dr. Bradley Nelson offers these six tips for beating the stress of daily life. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless. Listen as Dr. Nelson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity. He also shares information from his newly expanded and updated book, The Emotion Code.

From the innovators behind The Ready State and the movement bible Becoming a Supple Leopard.“The definitive guide for building an all-around healthy and high-performing body and mind.” —Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology, Stanford University & Host of The Huberman Lab PodcastAfter decades spent working with pro-athletes, Olympians, and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers Kelly and Juliet Starrett began thinking about the physical well-being of the rest of us. What makes a durable human? How do we continue to feel great and function well as we age? And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body’s natural need for activity? Have you ever thrown your back out doing something as seemingly harmless as picking up groceries?Are you avoiding activities you once loved because of pain, injury, stiffness or fatigue? Have you witnessed the tragic deterioration of an elderly loved one’s life after a slip and fall?The billion-dollar fitness industry has led us to believe that one hour of exercise a day is what it takes to sustain our bodies. Yet decades coaching some of the highest-performing individuals on the planet (Oscar winners, Navy SEALs, former presidents and Olympic athletes) have shown Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett (1.3 million followers across platforms) firsthand the essential physical practices that truly support elite performance. Contrary to popular belief, they discovered that the secret lies in what you do the other 23 hours of the day when you aren’t exercising. And it turns out that the practices that support elite performance are the very same practices that can help the rest of us—anyone at any age and any fitness level—achieve a durable, pain-free body. The best part? Exercise is extra credit, not a prerequisite!Their #3 New York Times Best Seller, BUILT TO MOVE: The Ten Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully (Knopf; April 4, ’23) is the antidote to our sedentary lifestyle and unveils the little levers we can all pull throughout our busy days to maximize our body’s function and make a huge difference in how we feel and how successfully we age—starting right here, right now.   The book offers: The first-ever set of objective, physical vital sign tests that reflect your current state of physical health and durability       The sit-and-rise test that can predict your likely lifespan The one-leg balance that indicates your risk of being seriously injured in a fall The floor-sit and squat moves that could reduce your chance of arthritic hip pain by up to 90% A first-aid kit for the inevitable aches and pains we all experience as humans that can be done on your living room floor.  Expansive, anti-diet nutrition strategies that are designed to support tissue health and lean muscle mass—which in turn support healthy aging  Intuitive ways to integrate more movement into your daily life and escape sedentary habits Strategies to create a movement-rich environment in your home and workplace to support your brain and body’s need to move  Breathing strategies designed to help restore range of motion and improve low back and neck pain An evidence-based approach to solve the age-old problem of how to fall (and stay!) asleep (spoiler alert: it’s walking) Quick and simple assessments to gauge progress and what needs improvement BUILT TO MOVE is the first holistic systems approach to building a resilient, adaptable, healthy body that can do what you want it to do for as long you may live—whether that be gardening or a triathlon.This book introduces readers to a set of simple principles and practices that can be done in just 10 minutes a day, leading to greater ease of movement, better health and a happier life doing whatever it is you love to do. Most of these practices are not things you’re going to hear or read about anywhere else.

And how do we counteract the effects of technology-dependence, sedentary living, and other modern ways of life on our body’s natural need for activity? Have you ever thrown your back out doing something as seemingly harmless as picking up groceries?Are you avoiding activities you once loved because of pain, injury, stiffness or fatigue? Have you witnessed the tragic deterioration of an elderly loved one’s life after a slip and fall?The billion-dollar fitness industry has led us to believe that one hour of exercise a day is what it takes to sustain our bodies. Yet decades coaching some of the highest-performing individuals on the planet (Oscar winners, Navy SEALs, former presidents and Olympic athletes) have shown Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett (1.3 million followers across platforms) firsthand the essential physical practices that truly support elite performance. Contrary to popular belief, they discovered that the secret lies in what you do the other 23 hours of the day when you aren’t exercising. And it turns out that the practices that support elite performance are the very same practices that can help the rest of us—anyone at any age and any fitness level—achieve a durable, pain-free body. The best part? Exercise is extra credit, not a prerequisite!Their #3 New York Times Best Seller, BUILT TO MOVE: The Ten Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully (Knopf; April 4, ’23) is the antidote to our sedentary lifestyle and unveils the little levers we can all pull throughout our busy days to maximize our body’s function and make a huge difference in how we feel and how successfully we age—starting right here, right now.   The book offers: The first-ever set of objective, physical vital sign tests that reflect your current state of physical health and durability       The sit-and-rise test that can predict your likely lifespan The one-leg balance that indicates your risk of being seriously injured in a fall The floor-sit and squat moves that could reduce your chance of arthritic hip pain by up to 90% A first-aid kit for the inevitable aches and pains we all experience as humans that can be done on your living room floor.  Expansive, anti-diet nutrition strategies that are designed to support tissue health and lean muscle mass—which in turn support healthy aging  Intuitive ways to integrate more movement into your daily life and escape sedentary habits Strategies to create a movement-rich environment in your home and workplace to support your brain and body’s need to move  Breathing strategies designed to help restore range of motion and improve low back and neck pain An evidence-based approach to solve the age-old problem of how to fall (and stay!) asleep (spoiler alert: it’s walking) Quick and simple assessments to gauge progress and what needs improvement BUILT TO MOVE is the first holistic systems approach to building a resilient, adaptable, healthy body that can do what you want it to do for as long you may live—whether that be gardening or a triathlon.This book introduces readers to a set of simple principles and practices that can be done in just 10 minutes a day, leading to greater ease of movement, better health and a happier life doing whatever it is you love to do. Most of these practices are not things you’re going to hear or read about anywhere else.

EP 1,150B - HELLO SLEEP: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications

If you're one of 25 million Americans who struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep, you feel exhausted during the day but wired at night, desperate to shut off your racing mind so you can finally rest. It may be hard to believe, but your brain wants (and knows how) to sleep well. You simply need to reset your relationship with sleep, so that instead of it feeling like a battle or a chore, it becomes the easy and enjoyable experience it should be. In this book, Dr. Jade Wu, Board-certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist, offers compassionate and practical guidance. Her insights are based in the latest sleep science, providing a step-by-step roadmap to better sleep whether you've had insomnia for three months or three decades.It's not a stretch to say that the last few years have left Americans more tired than ever. However, for many people who have trouble sleeping, they are more than tired. Each night is an anxious odyssey where getting a good night's sleep feels like a battle to win rather than the easy and refreshing experience it should be. The problem is that too many people approach sleep as an issue of control rather than focusing on changing their relationship to sleep. The truth is that we all already know how to sleep – we don't need a formula to fix it, or a collection of tips to optimize it because perfection is neither necessary nor sufficient for sustainable sleep health.Dr. Jade Wu, behavioral sleep medicine specialist and researcher, has helped hundreds of patients over the last ten years. Her debut book Hello Sleep: The Science and Art of Overcoming Insomnia Without Medications (on-sale February 7, 2023 from St. Martin's Press; $28.99; ISBN 978-1250828408) is a guide for those with insomnia to help them shift their relationship with sleep to make it enjoyable and natural again.

A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitive people everywhere. This inspiring book has the power to change—once and for all—how we see sensitive people, and how they see themselves. You’re too sensitive. You’re overreacting. Grow a thicker skin. You take everything so personally.We hear these comments all too often. There’s no denying sensitivity is surrounded by stigma. We discourage it in our children, judge it in our peers, and ultimately weaponize it in our relationships with colleagues and family members. While it’s not widely understood by the public, sensitivity is an essential human trait. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 people are highly sensitive individuals, and without them, we would not have the theory of evolution, the Declaration of Independence, or Netflix.Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo are the force behind the world’s largest online communities for sensitive people and introverts, Sensitive Refuge and Introvert, Dear. And they’re on a mission to break the negative stigma surrounding sensitivity in their forthcoming book, SENSITIVE (on sale 2/28), unveiling the hidden power of highly sensitive people (HSPs) in our loud, fast, and too-much world.Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, SENSITIVE shows readers how leaning into their sensitivity can unlock a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. Presenting the empowering idea that sensitivity gives you access to five distinct gifts, Granneman and Sólo offers the tools and insights you need to embrace this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of your life.Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, SENSITIVE reveals: A clear picture of what it really means to be sensitive and what strengths sensitive people bring to the world Are you an HSP? A checklist of the most common characteristics of sensitive people What makes the sensitive brain different — and how it’s wired to go deep How the needs of sensitive people differ from those of less sensitive people How to transform one of the misunderstood gifts of sensitive people—empathy—into a source of world-changing strength The common misconceptions about sensitive children—and their secret advantage The powerful traits of sensitive leaders, who are often the most effective leaders of all

And they’re on a mission to break the negative stigma surrounding sensitivity in their forthcoming book, SENSITIVE (on sale 2/28), unveiling the hidden power of highly sensitive people (HSPs) in our loud, fast, and too-much world.Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, SENSITIVE shows readers how leaning into their sensitivity can unlock a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. Presenting the empowering idea that sensitivity gives you access to five distinct gifts, Granneman and Sólo offers the tools and insights you need to embrace this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of your life.Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, SENSITIVE reveals: A clear picture of what it really means to be sensitive and what strengths sensitive people bring to the world Are you an HSP? A checklist of the most common characteristics of sensitive people What makes the sensitive brain different — and how it’s wired to go deep How the needs of sensitive people differ from those of less sensitive people How to transform one of the misunderstood gifts of sensitive people—empathy—into a source of world-changing strength The common misconceptions about sensitive children—and their secret advantage The powerful traits of sensitive leaders, who are often the most effective leaders of all

Thoroughly researched, empathetic, and practical KICKASS HEALTHY LADA shares author Jacqueline Haskins's hard-earned expertise.

That was Jacqueline Haskins' experience. After visiting five doctors before getting helpful guidance, and realizing there wasn't a friendly "how-to" book meant for the general public about LADA—she decided to write one.Thoroughly researched, empathetic, and practical, Kickass Healthy LADA shares Haskins's hard-earned expertise.

EP 1,142B - TOXIC EXPOSURE: The True Story behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice

TOXIC EXPOSURE: The True Story Behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice (Johns Hopkins University Press; February 28, 2023) is the first book to go behind the scenes of these now-infamous trials. Chadi Nabhan, a board-certified hematologist, and a medical oncologist who practiced oncology and treated lymphoma patients for years, served as an expert witness in the first three blockbuster trials against Monsanto and continues to be consulted as an expert for the lawsuits that are still ongoing.They are some of the most famous product liability lawsuits in recent memory. The public was shocked when Roundup, the world's most popular weed killer, was first linked to diagnoses of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in some users and riveted by the trials that followed. When the dust settled, federal and state juries had awarded the first three plaintiffs a combined $2.3. billion and Monsanto, the makers of Roundup, would go on to settle even more lawsuits for a reported $11 billion. All for a product that millions of people worldwide have sitting in their sheds, having been assured for decades by Monsanto and multiple government organizations, including the EPA, that the product was entirely safe. Lee Johnson, the plaintiff in the landmark first lawsuit against the company, testified that he had been told repeatedly that the product he used almost daily in his job as a school groundskeeper was "safe enough to drink."TOXIC EXPOSURE: The True Story Behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice (Johns Hopkins University Press; February 28, 2023) is the first book to go behind the scenes of these now-infamous trials.

In this, his first book, he gives readers the inside story, not only on the research that supports the link between glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) and cancer, but also in the decades-long campaign by Monsanto, aided by some of our most powerful institutions, to deny and obscure that link for financial gain.Nabhan, who had previously turned down opportunities to serve as an expert witness, decided to get involved in the Monsanto lawsuits because he saw them as a David-versus-Goliath story, one that tugged at him, as an immigrant to the U.S. from Syria who recognized the feeling of being treated unfairly and dismissed. He also understood Roundup's pervasiveness on the market meant that many millions of people worldwide were using it every day, with little thought to its inherent danger. Nabhan uses his position as an expert witness to walk readers through the research he used to shape his testimony and to take people along behind the scenes of the trials, introducing them to the key players on all sides. The result is a riveting courtroom drama, where life, death, and billions of dollars hang in the balance.

Burdened by the mounting pressures on today’s youth, parents seek ways to strike the balance between supporting their teens’ current well-being while also setting them up for future success. Eager to take action and to manage their escalating fears, parents inadvertently and unknowingly exacerbate the problem by overlooking their own parental achievement anxiety.Based on thirty years of clinical practice and her experiences raising her own teenagers in New York City, the work demonstrates that when parents become aware of their individual anxieties and learn to effectively manage them, they are empowered to make values aligned, rather than worry driven parenting decisions. Dr. Dorfman provides practical evidence-based parenting strategies, exercises, and reflective prompts to guide parents through a process to constructively apply to their day-to-day parenting decisions.

EP 1139B - Conquering Glaucoma and How to Treat it

What is Glaucoma? How can it be treated?WHAT IS GLAUCOMA and how can you treat it?Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in African Americans and people from the Caribbean, and the simple way to prevent the devastating effects of glaucoma is to maintain regular eye visits.“Eyesight or human vision is one of the most important senses,” Dr. Laroche said. “By protecting the eyes, people will reduce the chance of blindness and vision loss while also staying on top of any developing eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts.”Dr. Laroche is a glaucoma specialist who takes patient education seriously. He wants people to be aware that glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and retinopathy can begin to surface between the ages of 40 and 70, and that any vision changes should be evaluated by your eye doctor immediately.“Over time, these diseases can lead to blindness, so it’s best to address them as soon as possible,” said Dr. Laroche. “We have new treatments with earlier surgical options that can help preserve (or restore) their vision with faster recovery times.”What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a disease of the eye characterized by three components:1) Damage and loss of the retinal ganglions cells and optic nerve described as cupping2) Loss of visual field3) Usually increased eye pressure (pressure may be normal at times)Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the world today. There are over three million people with glaucoma in the United States today and over 1 million do not even know it. There are over 80,000 people that go blind from glaucoma every year. It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in African-Americans and people from the Caribbean.People at risk for glaucoma include the elderly, blacks, and people with elevated eye pressure primary relatives with glaucoma, persons with high myopia, high hyperopia, history of eye trauma, and diabetes. Blindness from glaucoma is insidious. In most cases, there is no pain, and the loss of vision occurs slowly from peripheral to central. The central reading vision is not affected until the end thus most people do not realize it until they have lost a substantial amount of their peripheral vision. In low or normal pressure glaucoma the central vision may be affected first.In many cases, glaucoma optic nerve damage occurs from high eye pressure. Nerve damage can usually be stopped or slowed by lowering the eye pressure. Most glaucoma treatment, with medicines, laser, or conventional surgery, is designed only to lower the eye pressure. Some eyes with glaucoma optic nerve damage continue to deteriorate despite having the lowest possible eye pressures. It is not known why this happens. Intensive research around the world is now directed at understanding the cause of the damage in these patients and to develop new treatments to preserve the optic nerve.Many different eye disorders cause high eye pressure. After measuring the eye pressure, your ophthalmologist attempts to determine the cause of the elevation. Nearly always, some form of “clogging” or blockage of the drainage of internal fluid within the eye (aqueous humor) causes increased eye pressure. Since the eye continually produces this fluid, obstruction of the drainage causes the eye pressure to increase. Almost any eye disorder associated with aging, inflammation, bleeding, injury, tumor or even birth defects can raise the eye pressure. However, in most cases of glaucoma, the eye has no specific abnormality and is said to have primary open-angle glaucoma. In other cases, the eye may be unusually small or exhibit other minor shape abnormalities that cause closed-angle glaucoma. In closed-angle glaucoma, the drainage system is totally blocked instead of just being clogged. At least fifty different mechanisms have been described that can raise the eye pressure, but all produce similar damage of the optic nerve. All methods of treatment are designed to lower the eye pressure to a level that will prevent further optic nerve damage.

What to Do if Your Child Has Lice

You child comes home with the dreaded note: the class has lice. What do you do?Even the cleanest children get lice. Those little bugs tend to nest in certain colors and textures of hair, which is why some people get repeat visits.Lice are bugs that crawl from one scalp to another. They can crawl from combs, brushes, and clothing onto a fresh scalp. The bugs look like sesame seeds, and their eggs stick to the hair shaft.A louse will only live one to two days when not on a scalp. Eggs don’t hatch if they aren’t in a warm environment. Of course, you should still vacuum and clean linens. It can take up to two weeks for eggs to hatch. It’s better to be cautious.It takes four to six weeks for itching to start because of the lice saliva. When the note comes home with your child, the lice have had plenty of time and opportunity to spread.You can check your child for lice at home with a couple of sticks, sifting through the hair. Your pediatrician can also check the scalp, make recommendations, and provide prescriptions as needed.Lice are treated with over-the-counter medications like Nix (permethrin) and Rid (pyrethrum). Nix is used on wet hair and can kill eggs. Be sure not to use a conditioner before application. Rid is used on dry hair but doesn’t kill eggs. Consider the life cycle of the eggs. You should repeat treatment on day nine, and perhaps once more. Follow your pediatrician’s recommendation for the right medication.In this encore episode from March 2017, Listen as Dr. Corinn Cross joins Melanie Cole, MS, to share how to get rid of lice.

EP 1138B - The Emotional Lives of Teenagers

In Dr. Lisa Damour’s important new book, THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, parents will gain the confidence they need to guide their adolescents through this challenging developmental phase.As many parents, caregivers, and teachers raising and working with teenagers find, powerful emotions come with the territory. And with so many of today’s teens contending with academic pressure, social media stress, worries about the future, and concerns about their own mental health, it’s easy for them—and their parents—to feel anxious and overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Dr. Lisa Damour’s important new book, THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents (Ballantine, on sale February 21, 2023), parents will gain the confidence they need to guide their adolescents through this challenging developmental phase.Dr. Damour’s long-standing interest in the emotional lives of teenagers took on a new urgency and relevance after the emergence of COVID-19. The pandemic created an adolescent mental health crisis—one so severe the U.S. Surgeon General issued a rare advisory on protecting youth mental health. While distressing for people of all ages, COVID-19 presented unique challenges for teenagers. The forced social isolation derailed the central developmental markers of adolescence: spending time with peers and becoming increasingly independent. Add on to that the fact that many parents felt—and still feel—ill-equipped to help their teenagers manage overwhelming emotions. But there is a silver lining! The pandemic has made us realize that we must change how we talk about what adolescent mental health is—and is not—and what parents can do to raise emotionally resilient teenagers.In THE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS parents will learn:·       What to expect in the normal course of adolescent emotional development andwhen it’s time to worry·       Why teens (and adults) need to understand that mental health isn’t about “feeling good”but about having feelings that fit the moment, even if those feelings are unwanted or painful·       Strategies for supporting teens who feel at the mercy of their emotions so they can become psychologically aware and skilled at managing their feelings·       How to approach common challenges that come with adolescence, such as friction at home, spiking anxiety, risky behavior, navigating friendships and romances, the pull of social media,and many more·       The best ways to stay connected to their teens and how to provide the kind of relationship that adolescents need and wantTHE EMOTIONAL LIVES OF TEENAGERS is a game-changing book that will transform the current conversation about adolescents. With clear, research-informed explanations alongside illuminating, real-life examples, Damour’s timely new book gives parents the concrete, practical information they need to steady their teens through the bumpy yet transformational journey into adulthood. I look forward to discussing your interest.

The book will give you evidence about whether, how, and when to use it, to get optimal results and avoid being harmed. Through engaging stories and case studies, the authors show you how trees can heal, how fake pills can still work, and why making comparisons with your peers can kill you. Throughout, the Jadads will ask you questions, including one able to predict whether you could lose 20 years of life.With wisdom and empathy, HEALTHY NO MATTER WHAT underscores that you can overcome practically any obstacle that prevents you from being healthy with your natural gift of adaptation. Wellness enthusiasts, medical practitioners, and curious readers will find this book to be an illuminating exploration into the vast world of health and will leave them empowered with immediately actionable tips to have the healthiest and longest life possible.

Importance of Father Figures

New findings show the positive impact of fathers on child development.A recent report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics proves the importance of fathers in the development of young children.Engaged fathers are associated with better academic success, health, social skills, and confidence. Their children also have less delinquency and reduced likelihood of substance abuse.It really matters to get dads involved with children. They don't have to serve the same functions as mothers. It's great when fathers will jump in and change diapers and rock babies to sleep, but they can be involved in other ways. Daddies tend to be more playful with babies and tend to get more belly laughs. Fathers encourage their littles to climb to the top of the monkey bars and take risks on the playgrounds.Encouraging all fathers to get involved with children will improve those children's lives. Giving fathers paid parental leave will help with this.If your child's father is unavailable, this role can be filled by any male or person identifying as male in the child's life. Grandfathers, uncles, adopted fathers or males who are committed to the child's well-being can assist in the positive development of children.Listen in to this encore episode from June 2016 as Dr. Michael Yogman shares the importance of fathers (or father figures).

EP 1136B - Consumer Reports Investigation of Lead & Cadmium in Dark Chocolate

Lead & Cadmium have been found in a number of popular dark chocolates.Consumer Reports has called on leading dark chocolate makers today to reduce the level of dangerous heavy metals in their products after they found concerning amounts of lead and cadmium in some of their offerings. In letters accompanied by nearly 55,000 signatures, CR urged Trader Joe’s, Hershey’s, Mondelez, and Theo to make a commitment to take action by Valentine’s Day.Consumer Reports scientists measured the amount of heavy metals in 28 dark chocolate bars and detected cadmium and lead in all of them. For 23 of the bars, eating just one ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR’s experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals. Five of the bars were above those levels for both cadmium and lead: Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate 85% cacao; Lily’s Extremely Dark Chocolate 85% cocoa (owned by Hershey’s). Theo Organic Pure Dark Chocolate 70% cocoa; Theo Extra Dark Pure Dark Chocolate 85% cocoa. and Green & Black’s Organic Dark Chocolate 70% cacao (owned by Modelez).  Consistent, long-term exposure to even small amounts of heavy metals can lead to a variety of health problems.  The danger is greatest for pregnant people and young children because the metals can cause developmental problems, affect brain development, and lead to lower IQ.Our guest, Kevin Loria is a Senior Health Reporter for Consumer Reports.

EP 1134B - Ping Pong Parkinson's

Ping pong is a therapeutic exercise that has been shown to improve the quality of life of Parkinson’s patients.What is Parkinson’s Disease? Parkinson’s Disease is a degenerative condition of the central nervous system that results in a slowing of movement, tremors, postural abnormalities, loss of facial expression, rigidity, impaired balance, and in some cases alterations in behavior and thought. The source of impaired function results from the loss of a population of dopamine-producing cells in a region of the brain called the ‘substantia nigra’, and the loss of the orchestrated release of dopamine has a profound impact on movement.But ping pong is a therapeutic exercise that has been shown to improve the quality of life of Parkinson’s patients. Based on the concept of neuroplasticity- the brain’s capacity to make new neurons and connections through challenging physical exercise- the PPP method benefits the brain by engaging motor and cognitive skills such as visuospatial attention, motor planning/sequencing, processing speed, and executive skills such as strategy formation and problem-solving. Most importantly, the physical and cognitive engagement is fun and provides a valuable opportunity for social interaction.Elana Clar is a board-certified neurologist specializing in movement disorders. In this episode, she tells us more about the disease and how best to manage it.

EP 1133B - The Anti Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out

As viruses become more common, exposure to them is inevitable but illness is not.In The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens From the Inside Out, Dr. Robynne Chutkan, founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital, and bestselling author, demonstrates how vital a healthy microbiome is in keeping us protected against viral infections and supporting a healthy immune system. Combining groundbreaking research with patient stories, Dr. Chutkan gives a fresh perspective on what we can do to empower and protect ourselves against illness.As viruses become more common, exposure to them is inevitable but illness is not. Science has proven that the majority of your immune system is located in your gut - microbes responsible for keeping a healthy gut also directly affect your immune system. These microbes:She also goes into detail about how the immune system reacts to viruses and how we can keep it healthy - from what to eat for a healthy immune system (artichokes, leeks, bananas, etc) to tips for sleep, mindfulness, the importance of nature  - and a full anti-viral gut plan with tips and recipes. The human body plays host to a vast system of a trillion bacteria that comprise the microbiome, many in our digestive tract.With 70% of our immune system located in our gut, keeping these organisms happy and healthy does more than just make us feel good - a healthy microbiome means a healthy body, and a healthy immune system. Western culture focuses so heavily on medicating and sterilizing that we kill off our gut bacteria, and the fewer we have, the fewer barriers we have against future viruses.

In a powerful new call to action, the American Academy of Pediatrics is demanding critical self-evaluation and fundamental changes in the practice of medicine to end long-standing inequities in health care.In a powerful new call to action, the American Academy of Pediatrics is demanding critical self-evaluation and fundamental changes in the practice of medicine to end long-standing inequities in health care.In a new policy statement, “Eliminating Race-Based Medicine,” the AAP observes that race is a historically derived social construct that has no place as a biological proxy. Over the years, the medical field has inaccurately applied race correction or race adjustment factors in its work, resulting in differential approaches to disease management and disparate clinical outcomes.Dr. Tiffani J. Johnson, MD, MSc, FAAP is a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician at UC Davis, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, and a scholar on race, racism, and its impact on child health. Her research portfolio reflects her commitment to improving the quality of care for underserved children. She is currently exploring the root causes of inequities in the healthcare and early childhood education settings, including research on bias and discrimination and their impact on the health and well-being of children.She is also the co-author of the AAP policy statement and joins Melanie in this encore episode from June 2022 to break down what it means, what critical changes need to be made, and what providers can do.

EP 1132B - Over the Counter Hearing Aids: What You Need to Know

Over-the-counter hearing aids are among the most anticipated new technologies to hit store shelves in years.  With over-the-counter or OTC hearing aids being among the most anticipated new technologies to hit store shelves in years, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is advising consumers to be smart shoppers if they’re intending to purchase one of these products for themselves or for a loved one.  OTC hearing aids have been sold in the United States only since mid-October 2022. They are intended for adults with self-perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. ASHA recommends that anyone purchasing an OTC product first get a hearing evaluation from a certified audiologist (such evaluations are generally covered by insurance, even if hearing aids are not). This is important because people typically misjudge their degree of hearing loss. A hearing evaluation also can rule out other medical conditions that could be causing hearing loss.Joining us to share more about these developments is Lindsay S. Creed, AuD, CCC-A, an audiologist who is currently working as an Associate Director of Audiology Practices at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

EP 1130B - The Stress Prescription: 7 Days to More Joy and Ease

Are you holding your breath, even just slightly?Are you holding your breath, even just slightly? Are you leaning forward, tensely anticipating the next problem to land in your email inbox? Most of us, without realizing it, hold our breath while we’re at our desks or at work. Take a moment now to lean back in your chair and take a few deep slow breaths. Shallow breathing, while we’re responding to email, is just one of the many ways in which we’re unconsciously contributing to the stress response in our bodies.  Personal and societal stress add up in our bodies every day. We wake up with it, carry it with us like heavy luggage, pile on more throughout our daily routines, and wrap ourselves in it as we fall asleep. Even if we are not aware of it. We are on high battery mode, and exhausted by the end of day.  But we don’t have to live this way.  We can put down the luggage. We can live on a more powerful battery mode, using the regenerative energy of joy and purpose. Dr. Elissa Epel is a New York Times bestselling author (The Telomere Effect) with a plan to turn stress into strength in her new book, The Stress Prescription: Seven Days to More Joy and Ease. As a leader in the fields of stress and biological aging, she is acutely aware of the ill effects of stress on our health. But her research also explores how we can transform our relationship to stress—how we can stress better, viewing stress as an exciting challenge rather than a threat, and how we can find true relief from feeling overwhelmed. Dr. Epel’s 7-day plan equips you with practical, science-based tools from her decades of research.

EP 1124B - Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, The Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal

Trauma is a part of life.Trauma is a part of life.You or someone you care about has probably experienced trauma, whether “big-T” trauma, such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or the more common but no less significant “little-t” trauma that can result from divorce, job loss, painful childhood experiences, or any situation where you felt worthless, afraid, or powerless. Untreated trauma can lead to long-lasting effects such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and difficulties maintaining intimate relationships. But the good news is that we can heal—and it doesn’t have to take a lifetime. EMDR (which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a unique type of psychotherapy proven to help people recover from trauma and improve the quality of their lives. Through compelling science, personal stories, and powerful photographic images, we learn how trauma is stored in the brain and body, continuing to cause pain and suffering, and how EMDR frees us by repatterning our thinking and emotional reactions. In her new book, Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, The Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal, Trauma therapist and EMDR pioneer Deborah Korn, PsyD discusses trauma and demystifies EMDR. Deborah Korn, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, maintains a private practice in Cambridge, MA, and an adjunct training faculty member at the Trauma Research Foundation in Boston. She has been on the faculty of the EMDR Institute for the past 28 years, is the former Clinical Director of the Women’s Trauma Programs at Charter Brookside and Charles River Hospitals, and is a past board member of the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation (NESTTD).

EP 1123B - Salmonella Prevention: New Strategy to Reduce Salmonella Illness from Poultry

Salmonella contamination is widespread in chickens in part because of the often crowded and filthy conditions in which they are raised.A new proposal by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to reduce salmonella illnesses from poultry is an encouraging sign that the agency is stepping up its efforts to protect the public, according to Consumer Reports.  CR is calling on the agency to move expeditiously to adopt new measures to prevent salmonella contamination in poultry, which sickens hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. Salmonella contamination is widespread in chickens in part because of the often crowded and filthy conditions in which they are raised. A recent CR investigation, for example, found almost one-third of ground chicken samples tested contained salmonella.  An estimated 1.35 million Americans get sick from salmonella every year and nearly a quarter of those cases come from chicken or turkey.While the USDA currently requires producers to test poultry for salmonella, a processing facility is allowed to have the bacteria in up to 9.8 percent of all whole birds it tests, 15.4 percent of all parts, and 25 percent of ground chicken. Producers that exceed these amounts are given what amounts to a warning but are not prevented from selling the meat.Brian Ronholm is the director of food policy at Consumer Reports and joins us to discuss this proposal further.
