Why is glyphosate still widely used if it is known to cause micronutrient deficiencies and is toxic? Due to the lack of care from industry and the government, it can still be easily seen in use. Listen up to learn:
Stephanie Seneff, a Senior Research Scientist at MIT, shares her work looking into the host of adverse effects of glyphosate when used as a weedkiller.
Due to its ability to bind to minerals and damage our livers, glyphosate can be extremely dangerous. For example, due to the damage to the liver through micronutrients, glyphosate can compound the toxicity of other widely used chemicals.
Since glyphosate can be found in so many products, from sanitary products to food, it has even seeped into the realm of food and organic products we think are safe. Unfortunately, this can be highly damaging to people of all ages since it causes so many problems to the gut microbiome.

Does the ketogenic diet have hidden benefits beyond healthy living? Thanks to new exploration, the popular diet may show promise in treatment areas from oncology to holistic living. Press play to learn:
Denise Potter, of Potter Dietitian Consulting, LLC, stops by to share how ketogenic therapy may benefit many more people than initially thought.
While the ketogenic diet has been lauded for its efficacy as a diet, it has shown promise in treating individuals far beyond their weight. Due to its ability to regulate many of the levels and systems in your body, it may be a promising therapeutic technique for cancer and beyond.
However, without proper medical advice, the true therapeutic benefits seen by those in sustained ketosis may not be seen. Without appropriate medical training, there are many sources of misinformation surrounding the keto diet, and finding a proven source of information when attempting keto therapy is essential.

Can physical fitness help battle cancer alongside other treatments? Despite the myths of the past, it may actually be a significant player in cancer therapeutics. Listen up to learn:
Dr. Kathryn Schmitz, the author of Moving Through Cancer, shares her experience finding the benefits of exercise when battling cancer.
Despite the many myths surrounding cancer in the past, it has been found that moderate exercise is incredibly beneficial when compared to sedentary lifestyles. However, this form of training needs to be guided effectively to maximize efficiency and range of benefits.
One of the most significant benefits of this effort is implementing active support for cancer patients in rural settings with little to no support. Even if patients are currently participating in no activity, even beginning small can show excellent benefits.

How can anxiety seep into the health and happiness of those suffering from it? Due to its ability to control other processes in the body, it can be very detrimental to health. Press play to learn:
Christine Purdon, a professor at the University of Waterloo, shares her insight into the world of anxiety and depression.
While it may have initially been thought to only affect the mind, anxiety can have far-reaching negative impacts on the health and lifestyle of a patient. Due to this, there are specific ways to interact and attempt to help and understand those with anxiety around you.
From the outside, anxiety and depression can seem immaterial or "silly" if you have never undergone it. However, to best help those around you and gain a better understanding of the inner workings of anxiety and depression, better and more understanding communication is critical.

Dr. Scott Sherr, an independent provider of hyperbaric medicine, shares his work with patients worldwide and the many benefits of hyperbaric oxygen.
By simulating the pressure one would experience while trying to breathe under specific seawater depths, oxygen levels can be controlled, leading to accelerated healing. Through consistent treatment and correct procedure, patients who cannot find success elsewhere have seen it with hyperbaric therapeutics.
Though there are initial challenges to consider before endorsing a patient seeking hyperbaric treatment, very few risks are involved. The initial improvements can be very promising for people through the course of treatment, with true healing in the brain occurring as sessions continue.

How can we unplug ourselves and disconnect from technology addiction? By remaining mindful and limiting the role technology has in our lives, future generations may nurture a more sustainable relationship. Listen in to learn:
Ben Pring, the Vice President, Head of Thought Leadership, and Managing Director at Cognizant's Center for the Future of Work, shares his insight into technology and why we can all benefit from disconnecting.
While technology has introduced unheard-of miracles in many of our lives, it has also introduced almost incomprehensible challenges to future generations. Since technology offers so many benefits, it has also been incredibly addictive, and it may be just as harmful as others.
Since it may prove difficult to put this proverbial genie back in a bottle, some solutions to curb this effect in future generations will be posed. However, this will be an effort that each and every one of us will need to take seriously, especially in the years to come.

Why has pancreatic cancer continued to stump scientists, despite decades of research? Due to its unique traits and development of tumors, it presents tricks that continue to elude treatment. Listen up to learn:
Ben Z. Stanger, a Hanna Wise Professor of Cancer Research at the University of Pennsylvania, shares his work bridging the gap from developmental biology to the world of pancreatic cancer.
Since the development of pancreatic cancer can remain hidden or undetected for so long, early or preventative treatment that is effective in other forms of cancer is less effective. In addition, since there are very rarely physical signs of a pancreatic tumor developing, it may even be difficult for an individual to tell that something is wrong before it is too late.
However, with new research into metabolism and immunology, there have been promising results on mice when tested in the lab. Since pancreatic cancer has so many tricky paradoxes, it draws researchers to study since the opportunity to find overarching cancer treatments are bountiful.

How has the mental health treatment system been revolutionized in recent years to better address the root causes of depression and anxiety? By recentering focus on healing rather than prescribing, many mental health professionals have found success. Press play to learn:
Hilary Jacobs Hendel, a Psychotherapist, Author, Blogger, Speaker, stops by the podcast to discuss anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma.
In recent years, many mental health professionals have realized it is equally, if not more, important to treat the underlying causes of depression and anxiety. However, instead of simply treating the symptoms, slowing down to address trauma and stressors has led patients to lasting improvements.
By assisting her patients in slowing down to truly face past trauma or other triggers, Hilary Jacobs Hendel has shown that pills alone may not be the answer. If you are struggling with your mental health, you are not alone, and techniques like those shared here may offer the solutions you seek.

How can ensuring drugs are tracked properly ensure quality? By constantly watching the drugs produced in this country, it is more difficult to accidentally ingest counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Listen up to learn:
Michael Bartholomeusz, the CEO of TruTag, shares his work in the fight to stop counterfeit pharmaceuticals and ensuring patients get the medicine they need.
Counterfeit pharmaceuticals are responsible for a massive number of deaths around the world each year, especially in the cases of lifesaving drugs. To combat this problem, there needs to be a way to track supply chains worldwide and make it accessible to patients and industry alike.
By using smart silica, which is already standard in many pills we take regularly, there can be a system to ensure the medication you are taking is the one the intended company produced. Then, as a patient, each pill can be scanned through an app on your smartphone, through microscopic barcodes encoded in each pill and on each bottle.

How have chemicals been snuck into foods consumed across the country daily? Using GMOs and pesticides, our favorite foods may be more toxic than we think. Listen up to learn:
Jeffrey Smith, the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and Protect Nature Now, shares his dire warning of genetically modified foods and pesticides.
Genetically modified organisms or GMOs have been introduced into many peoples' diets worldwide without proving they are safe. Instead of conducting thorough testing and review, lies have been spread about the safety of genetically modified plants.
Since the group of modified crops is so pervasive throughout the processed products we can find on the grocery store shelves, it can be tough to avoid ingesting these dangerous products. However, one of the best ways to avoid these is ensuring that everything we introduce into our bodies is organic.
