571: Genomic Medicine with Jo Bhakdi Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Cancer is the number two cause of death worldwide, and despite 100s of billions invested, there is still no cure, only treatments. The treatments we do have such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, while extremely aggressive, work very well if detection is early. Since there are dozens of types of cancer, screening and detection has proven challenging–but that might be changing. My guest on this week's podcast is on the forefront of genomic medicine and hopes to make early screen accessible to everyone.

Listen and learn:

How new technology allows for blood plasma scanning of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to find tiny particles from cancers
The role of full body MRI in cancer screening
Why it currently costs thousands per year but could end up costing a fraction of this in the future

570: The Science of Trauma Recovery with Jamie Mustard May 31, 2023

Show notes

Some medical professionals feel it's more accurate to classify post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a neural injury (PTSI) – not a disorder.

568: How to Prioritize Self Care with Taylor Elyse Morrison May 18, 2023

Show notes

People often lament that they prioritize others' needs above their own, and they don't know how to put themselves first. I believe most of us are mostly selfish, so I don't think the problem is putting yourself first, I think the problem is putting self care first. People will overcommit to work, family, and community obligations, but ignore free times, exercise, and quiet solitude. I don't believe that we're all so altruistic that our days get vacuumed by charity work, I think our time is consumed simply by other seemling more important priorities.

The term self-care conjures up images of manicures or lazy Sunday morning brunches, but what if you expanded that to include art, creativity, silence, adventure, friendship, and whatever else perhaps feeds your soul but almost by definition does not have a quantifiable reason for ending up on your calendar.

On this week's podcast, you'll earn the importance of making time for less strategic, you-focused activities.

Show notes

Do you have painful feet, bunions, hammertoes, or collapsed arches? If you've visited a podiatrist, you most likely ended up with some orthotic inserts and were sent on your way.

On this week's podcast, you'll meet a functional podiatrist who will help you understand your options.

566: How to Fight Misinformation with Sander van der Linden May 03, 2023

Show notes

It's more difficult than ever to separate fact from journalistic or political fiction. The idea of "relative truth" has permeated almost every discussion, making it challenging to get straight answers to even some of the most basic questions. Does cholesterol matter or not? Are HPV vaccines safe or too risky? While media spin has always been a problem, it's reached breaking point, and the majority of us feel disillusioned and frustrated. This week's guest offers advice on how to identify and fight misinformation.

Listen and learn:

How a small lie wrapped in hard truths can be much more dangerous than a blatant falsehood
Why men are leading the charge when it comes to conspiracy theories
How system justification theory can influence misinformation
Whether a small lie is OK if it's for a good cause
