Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Key clinical considerations when managing heart transplant patients due to their unique pathophysiology 1. Arrhythmias A transplanted heart is denervated, meaning it lacks autonomic nervous system innervation The lack of vagal tone results in an increased resting heart rate Adenosine can be used since it primarily slows conduction through the AV node  Atropine is ineffective in treating transplant bradyarrhythmia because its mechanism is to inhibit the vagus nerve - but the heart lacks vagal tone Allograft rejection can also cause tachycardia Consult transplant surgery - treatment is usually 500 mg methylprednisolone 2. Rejection Transplant patients are administered immunosuppressants Clinical presentation of acute rejection looks similar to heart failure with increased BNP, increased troponin, and pulmonary edema  Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a form of chronic rejection Patients will not report chest pain due to denervated heart Symptoms are usually weakness and fatigue 3. High risk of infection due to immunosuppression Increased risk of infections which includes CMV, legionella, tuberculosis, etc Immunosuppressants have side effects such as acute kidney injury or pancytopenia 4. Radiographic Cardiomegaly A study found that radiographic cardiomegaly does not connote heart failure They hypothesized it is instead the result of a mismatch between the size of the transplanted heart and the space in the thoracic cavity  References Murphy JD, Mergo PJ, Taylor HM, Fields R, Mills RM Jr. Significance of radiographic cardiomegaly in orthotopic heart transplant recipients.

Psychologist Maria Ruberto is back to talk about one of the most important parts of our day: sleep. Starting off with the biology of sleep, Maria takes us through how we get to sleep, what happens when we sleep, and why we desperately need to sleep for good health and longevity. With metaphors galore to make the science as relatable as possible, we discuss the role of melatonin, the impact of screens on our suprachiasmatic nucleus and whether it’s worth cutting your sleep short to exercise? In more practical terms, Maria shares what sleep hygiene actually looks like, and, to Hugh and Josh’s relief, how hormones released during parenthood act to buffer against sleep deprivation. So set your sleep alarms, get comfy, and tuck yourself in for a BIG episode!

 The Energy Saving Light and LED bulbs, LED display emit too much blue light and that harms our body, life expectancy, and can even make us blind. … The cellular energy or Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) nourish our body cells. Without ATP we can't live longer than 15seconds. Our food gives the cells only 30% of the ATP.With the right light (600 - 1300nm), - the red to infrared light we can boost our energy. The sun, fire or the old Incandescent bulbs with clear glass, have naturally the red and infrared light. At the end are links science proofed with much more information. The blue light from the Energy Saving Light and LED bulbs, LED/LCD display even disturb our cells so that less ATP is coming to our Cells. This means we harm our body with such unnatural light!!!In Germany, blindness is caused by 50% from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The LED screens, LED lamps and Energy Saving Light Bulbs can cause the AMD. The natural light from the sun has a whole spectrum light from 0 to 5500K.  Fire and the old incandescent bulbs (with clear glass) have a whole spectrum light between 0 and 2700K. And the cool white light from the LED and Energy Saving Bulbs have 6500K.Now here comes a problem we measure colors in Kelvin and in wavelength nm. The temperature scale is totally different than the wavelength Scale… see the pictures!What is infrared light or rays?Infrared is not heat, nor does it (directly) cause heat; it's emitted by the heat of an object at a certain range of temperatures like the incandescent bulb, fire or even our body. Infrared LED's emit Infrared light without heat. Infrared is not visible for human beings. The red light is between 600 and 770nm afterward comes the not visible infrared light between 770 and  2000nm. For our cells is the best light between 600nm and 1300nm. And this light nourishes our cells. The magic best light should be the infrared 850nm. This Infrared light can heal our body and increase our life expectancy. The Infrared light goes through our cloth and can go up to 1 inch inside of our body.  We can buy cheap Infrared LEDs 850nm and a 5Volt power supply from the Internet/eBay/China.  Altogether between $10 to 20$. Is that possible? If we compare the whole spectrum from the different light sources we see that the best light is from the Halogen and Incandescent bulbs with clear glass. We have the options to buy these old Incandescent bulbs or the 6 to 12V Halogen light with a DC power supply that is the best…. Because a DC power supply doesn't flick the light off and on like the AC current. I have chosen warm light LED's (2700K), combine it with additionally Red light LEDs and Infrared LEDs. And with this light, I feel really better. For the display of my Laptop, I run the F.Lux app or we can run the Iris app. With both Apps, we get our red light to the screen.  My Video: Energy Saving Light and LED Bulbs harm our body! https://youtu.be/vreYX-mEk0cMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Energy-Saving-Light-and-LED-Bulbs-harm-our-body.mp3

In this episode 1 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience and psychology and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the book “Why We Sleep” discusses the essential role that sleep plays in our health. We cover how sleep affects our hormones, immune system, learning and memory, mood, appetite, and weight regulation. We also discuss what causes the urge to sleep, how sleep is structured throughout the night, and the biology of the different phases of sleep. We also teach you how to determine your individualized sleep needs, including your chronotype (best waking and to-bed time), tips for combat snoring and insomnia, and your QQRT (Quality, Quantity, Regularity, and Timing)—a key framework for optimizing your sleep and therefore daytime energy and focus, and overall health.

At Metabolic Mind, we often focus on ketogenic therapy as a treatment for severe mental illnesses like bipolar, schizophrenia, and depression. But it's important to realize that a keto diet can also be a powerful preventative medicine to protect and optimize brain function. Dr. Susan Masino, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at Trinity College and the Charles Bullard Fellow in forest research at Harvard Medical School, discusses the therapeutic properties of ketogenic diets and the interconnection between brain health and ecological lifelines. Dr. Masino discovered the ketogenic diet while researching ways to increase adenosine, a neuroprotective molecule that cannot be given as a medication due to severe side effects. Both adenosine and a ketone-based metabolism work through multimodal mechanisms to “precondition” the body, promoting health and enhancing resilience, helping to reverse disease and prevent it from occurring in the first place.

If you've ever wondered about the real benefits of Creatine, or hesitated because of fears about sudden muscle bulk, this episode is for you. Dr. Andrew Fix and Brian Cash, a Colorado firefighter, supplement store owner and athlete have an in depth conversation about one of the most widely used but often misunderstood supplements, Creatine.    Brian dives deep, explaining the science Creatine — highlighting uses for various goals and use cases, but also debunking myths that are pervasive and widely held.  Brian helps listeners understand that Creatine plays it's biggest role in aiding muscle function and ensuring quicker recovery, not making massive abrupt muscle gains. One of the episode's key takeaways? The importance of consistency. Whether you're actively training or enjoying a rest day, Brian emphasizes the value of a daily Creatine ritual.   But it's not all about Creatine. Brian also illuminates the broader spectrum of supplements, underscoring the importance of clean protein, vital multivitamins, and the benefits of fish oil. His approach is clear-cut and straightforward: opt for quality and steer clear of unnecessary additives.   Join us for an episode that blends Brian's experience and passion, ensuring listeners walk away more informed and inspired about smart supplementation.   Key Takeaways: • Creatine is a supplement that can help with muscle gain, strength, and recovery. • Taking creatine consistently is more important than doing loading and cycling phases. • Creatine is beneficial for both weightlifting and endurance athletes. • Creatine can assist with maintaining muscle mass and reducing the risk of soft tissue injuries. • In addition to creatine, other recommended supplements include clean protein, a well-rounded multivitamin, fish oil, and vitamin D.   Quotes: • "Creatine in and of itself, we make, we make creatine via the Krebs cycle, right? We produce it. ATP is what we're, what our muscles are firing off of. Adenosine triphosphate is ATP. And that's what's giving me the ability to raise my arm up or squat bench clean, or make that muscle fire efficiently over a period of time, whether it's through just getting out of bed or exercise." (10:14 | Brian Cash)  • "If I can get  5% improvement by taking creatine, then 5% over the course of a year is a lot." (18:00 | Brian Cash)  • "More muscle mass or a stronger muscle, not even making it bigger, but more dense, is going to help with those posture and joints tie-ins. It's going to assist with making those ailments be less invasive." (24:58 | Brian Cash) • "I think protein is my core, a gender-specific or a very sport-specific, well-rounded multivitamin to not get everything that we need, but to get what we're not getting." (32:08 | Brian Cash) • "I like singles. I like to know I'm just getting 5,000 IU of D and if I need K or anything else, I can add that in."

In this Re-Release of Episode 7 on 4/12/23 of the School of Doza podcast, Nurse Doza provides natural energy solutions to listeners. Nurse Doza gives advice on how to boost energy, where to find it, why fatigue might be occurring, and how to better maintain energy. Additionally, she emphasizes the importance of adrenal gland health to achieving genuine energy and provides instructions on how to support these glands.     00:00 Class is in session 04:09 Support adrenal glands for energy. 05:49 Support adrenal glands with B5. 12:30 Boost dopamine production naturally. 17:17 Support dopamine production daily. 24:19 Increase ATP production for energy. 32:00 Boost energy naturally with cold. 34:15 Support your metabolism naturally.   CHECK OUT MSW NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS USE CODE NURSEDOZA FOR A NICE DISCOUNT https://www.mswnutrition.com/products/?ref=NURSEDOZA   CLASS NOTES:   First way to boost your energy is __support your adrenal glands_______________. Why? They are a hormone factory and their production decreases with age and stress.   The adrenal glands make stress hormones for us to function. “Salt, sugar, sex” (1) Cortisol, dopamine, norepinephrine, aldosterone (1st layer), sex hormones DHEA-most abundant hormone in the body (1) precursor: progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and testosterone , pregnenolone,    “The adrenal glands play a vital role in the body's fight or flight response. They generate stress hormones that activate physiological adaptations that are necessary to counteract changes in the external environment. (1) Vitamin b5 “Vitamin B5 (VB5), also known as pantothenate or "anti-stress vitamin,"” (2) “Its deficiency leads to reduced cortisol production, increased arthritic pain, myalgia, fatigue, headache, depression, insomnia, and widespread "proinflammatory" effects on the immune-system.” Studies: Anatomy, Abdomen and Pelvis: Adrenal Glands (Suprarenal Glands) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482264/ (1) The potential role of B5: A stitch in time and switch in cytokine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31691401/ (2) Second way to boost your energy is __support your dopamine production_______________. Dopamine functions: (1) Memory. Pleasurable reward and motivation. Behavior and cognition. Attention. Sleep and arousal. Mood. Learning. Lactation. Dopamine also: (1) Causes blood vessels to relax (at low doses, it acts as a vasodilator) or constrict (at high doses, it acts as a vasoconstrictor). Increases sodium (salt) and urine removal from your body. Reduces insulin production in your pancreas. Slows gastrointestinal (GI) (gut) content movement and protects your GI lining. Reduces lymphocyte activity in your immune system.   “If you have the right balance of dopamine, you feel: (1) Happy.***** Motivated. Alert.*** Focused.***** If you have a low dopamine level, you might feel: (1) Tired. Unmotivated. Unhappy. You may also have: Memory loss. Mood swings. Sleep problems. Concentration problems. A low sex drive. “Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” hormone. It gives you a sense of pleasure. It also gives you the motivation to do something when you're feeling pleasure.(1)” ***Is this the hormone we should target in depression?*** “Depression is common - one-fourth of the U.S. population will have a depressive episode sometime in life. “(2) **DOES LOW DOPAMINE SOUND LIKE DEPRESSION? “Folate is a water-soluble B-vitamin necessary for the proper biosynthesis of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine.” (2)   “Without the participation of 5-MTHF in this process, SAMe and neurotransmitter levels decrease in the cerebrospinal fluid, contributing to the disease process of depression. SAMe supplementation was shown to improve depressive symptoms.” (2) **BLISS** Studies: Dopamine: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22581-dopamine (1) The methylation, neurotransmitter, and antioxidant connections between folate and depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18950248/ (2) Third way to boost your energy is __regulate your insulin_______________. “If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance.” “Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood sugar (also called blood glucose) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia.” (1) “Things that can make blood sugar rise include: A meal or snack with more food or more carbohydrates than usual Inactivity Side effects of medications Infection or other illness Changes in hormone levels, such as during menstrual periods Stress   Studies: Blood sugar and insulin at work: https://diabetes.org/tools-support/diabetes-prevention/high-blood-sugar (1)   3rd way to boost your energy is to increase your ATP production: “Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP, is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It is the main energy currency of the cell,”   “Mitochondria are subcellular self-autonomous organelles primarily responsible for the generation of energy and ATP synthesis. “ (2)   “with age, mitochondria accumulate ROS-induced damage and become dysfunctional. With time, the function of cells declines causing aging and subsequent death.” (2)   Studies: https://biologydictionary.net/atp/ (1) Mitochondrial Aging and Age-Related Dysfunction of Mitochondriahttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4003832/(2) Fourth way to boost your energy is _infrared light therapy________________. “this induces activation of signaling pathways that affect cellular metabolism.”(1) “Subsequent experiments demonstrated that isolated mitochondria are sensitive to irradiation with monochromatic light in the red and near-infrared spectrum. For example, illumination of isolated rat liver mitochondria increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and oxygen consumption.” (1) Studies:Low-level light therapy of the eye and brain  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5436183/ (1) 5th way to boost your energy is __cold exposure__________________. “In healthy individuals, cold exposure can increase energy expenditure and whole body glucose and fatty acid utilization. Repeated exposures can lower fasting glucose and insulin levels and improve dietary fatty acid handling, even in healthy individuals.” (1) “discovery that human BAT could be stimulated to produce heat and clear circulating substrates upon cold exposure” (1)   “the stimulation of cutaneous cold-sensitive thermoreceptors results in the activation of autonomic and somatic motor responses to limit heat loss to the environment and increase metabolic heat production “ (1)   Studies: Examining the benefits of cold exposure as a therapeutic strategy for obesity and type 2 diabetes https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00934.2020?rfr_dat=cr_pub++0pubmed&url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori%3Arid%3Acrossref.org (1)

Take Home Points Methylxanthines are a drug class that includes caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. The three main mechanisms that account for the clinical presentation of methylxanthine toxicity are: catecholamine release, adenosine antagonism, and phosphodiesterase inhibition. Beta agonism will lead to hyperlactatemia, hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, and tachycardia. Adenosine antagonism may lead to seizures and/or supraventricular tachycardia that ...
