This episode is being re-released for your enjoyement. Please enjoy the episode. Natasha has an upcoming group that you can sign up for: Pornography Dilemma Online Group with Natasha This group has been developed to help couples overcome the common struggles with pornography use within the marital contract. During this group, we will: Begin to deal with and repair the typical secrecy/betrayal cycles that have historically occurred in the relationship with sexual media. Understand evidence-based information about sexual media allowing well-informed decisions to be made based on science and our values instead of myths and folklore. Help couples understand the importance of balancing the need for individual autonomy and relational connection that can often feel contraindicated. Learn to move from “ownership” models of sexuality to “partnership” models of sexuality. Guide couples through agreement work based on principles of sexual and marital health (honesty, shared values, transparency, and differentiation). Begin repairing trust and building a relationship where relational, erotic sexuality can flourish if that's what both partners want moving forward. WHEN: TUESDAYS 8 PM MT November 5, 12, 19, 26 & December 3, 10, 17 WHERE: Online Register here: https://symcounseling.com/group-registration/ or call: 1-208-391-7804 Go here for more: https://symcounseling.com/pornography-dilemma/ Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Nicole Prause, founder of the Sexual Psychophysiology and Affective Neuroscience (SPAN) Laboratory, in regards to the research she has personally done (and is aware of) concerning our relationships with pornography and erotic viewing materials. They cover all types of topics such as: What are some common correlations that are made in regards to porn viewing research that are completely inaccurate? Are we aware that those who view porn tend to be more egalitarian in their relationships? Why does it matter if we call problematic behavior by the right name (i.e. addiction vs. compulsivity vs. out-of-control, etc.)? Did you know that women respond to erotica in similar ways as men do and even share similar sexual tastes? Did you know that people who view erotic films report having increased desire for sexual activity with their spouse/partner? Objectification of women is definitely a problem, but violence? Not so much. Did you know that those who report having “out of control” behavior with porn viewing actually watch the same or less than those who don't identify with having a problem? And that research is now showing that those who see their behavior as problematic tend to come from religious or conservative backgrounds? Get up to date with what we think is science versus what is actually science in regards to positives and negatives that can come from porn/erotic viewing. Nicole Prause obtained her PhD at Indiana University with joint supervision from The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in 2007. Her concentrations were in neuroscience and statistics. She completed her APA/APPIC clinical internship at the Boston Consortium. Her clinical rotations were in neuropsychological assessment and behavioral medicine; her research fellowship was at Harvard University in alcoholism treatment. She was promoted to Associate Scientist at UCLA in 2014. Current laboratory interests include primary rewards, transcranial brain stimulation, and approach motivation. She is licensed as a psychologist in the state of California. Dr. Prause currently holds positions as the founder of Liberos LLC, an independent research institute, and Data Scientist in Los Angeles.

The purpose of this webinar is to speak to what the expansion of Medicaid has meant to the most vulnerable populations within the state--given their better access to care. Louisiana is a great state to review as it did not expand immediately after ACA, but has had nearly 7 years of it. Additionally, it will be interesting to know the process and opinions around expanding Medicaid to the most recent state to do so, North Carolina. Finally, as Texas is one of the largest states in the US--both by population and land--it will be interesting to hear how not having Medicaid expansion has impacted the state and the care available for its most vulnerable.

In this flash back episode, Sarah explores the latest research on astrocytes, gut bacteria and neuroinflammation with scientist and medical researcher Dr. Francisco Quintana. Dr. Quintana is a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. He describes some of the causes of neuroinflammation including infection, tumours and auto-immune disease. So what does all of that have to do with astrocytes?  Astrocytes are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system. These cells were first described over 100 years ago and were given their celestial name because they are shaped like a star. Even though they are the most abundant type of cell in the brain, Dr. Quintana points out that we are just now beginning to understand their function. One of the important functions of the glymphatic system is in regulating the movement of fluids in and out of the brain. Once seen as having more of a supportive role in the brain, astrocytes are now understood to help regulate inflammation – an important finding in the study of diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease. In fact, Dr. Quintana states that the astrocytes can, “boost and drive inflammation and that's very important because, so far, we have no therapies to actually suppress those pro-inflammatory activities.”Read the full show notes.

Ensuring food security is a critical concern both today and for future generations. In Africa, despite widespread agriculture, communities are vulnerable and at risk of starvation due to pests, disease, and environmental conditions damaging harvests. Today – on #WorldFoodSafetyDay2022 – we're shining a light on Aflatoxin, the ‘silent killer' threatening people and plants across Africa, and Aflasafe®, the technology developed by @IITA to fight it. Aflasafe® exists as the first all-natural crop protection product designed to combat aflatoxins and reduces levels of aflatoxins found in maize, groundnuts and sorghum by 80% to 100%. It forms a key part of UPL's input package for maize in Ghana and Mali, helping growers keep their crops and those they feed healthy, with added benefits for the environment too.  In this episode of UPL Insights, our Head of Partnerships for Sustainability in West & Central Africa Florent Clair speaks with Dr. Jane Kamau, Commercialisation & Agribusiness Manager at IITA, and Titilayo Falade PhD, Associate Scientist at IITA to examine Aflatoxin's serious threat to food safety and discuss how we're working together as part of our OpenAg purpose to harness this natural technology to improve both crop and human health.

Sarah explores the latest research on astrocytes, gut bacteria and neuroinflammation with scientist and medical researcher Dr. Francisco Quintana. Dr. Quintana is a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. He describes some of the causes of neuroinflammation including infection, tumours and auto-immune disease. So what does all of that have to do with astrocytes? Astrocytes are a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system. These cells were first described over 100 years ago and were given their celestial name because they are shaped like a star. Even though they are the most abundant type of cell in the brain, Dr. Quintana points out that we are just now beginning to understand their function. One of the important functions of the glymphatic system is in regulating the movement of fluids in and out of the brain. Once seen as having more of a supportive role in the brain, astrocytes are now understood to help regulate inflammation - an important finding in the study of diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease. In fact, Dr. Quintana states that the astrocytes can, “boost and drive inflammation and that's very important because, so far, we have no therapies to actually suppress those pro-inflammatory activities.”Read the full show notes

Pain is a subjective experience that affects all segments of the population. However, there are inter-individual differences in pain. The biopsychosocial model proposes that the intersection of biological, psychological, and social factors create a pain experience and pain outcomes that differ by sex, race, and socioeconomic status. "The minority stress theory ... the idea that for racial minorities, especially blacks, they are exposed to chronic stress; the stress of daily racism" Could epigenetics hold the key to understanding how social factors compound differences between patients? How does this impact on you and your practice?

Associate Scientist in Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Amy Apprill, joins the show to share insight on her area of expertise: the microbes of the animals in the ocean and the marine ecosystem in general. Tune in to discover: Where corals get 80-90% of their nutrition, and by what mechanisms they ingest bacteria and zooplankton What types of protective mechanisms explain why it is rare to see an animal sitting on a coral What type of evidence suggests that microbes have different roles within coral depending on their location What's been revealed by microbial research on the coral reefs in the Florida Keys—one of the most disturbed reef ecosystems in the Caribbean A coral reef is an entire ecosystem with its own rocks, animals, and plants in the most biodiverse environment in the ocean. Apprill's work is centered around research on the microbiome of corals.  She and her team have found that different microbes inhabit three primary regions of the coral: the mucous layer, the tissues, and the skeleton. She explains how the use of microscopy has helped shed light on the role of different bacterial communities within the coral depending on where they live. The team has also been looking at the composition of microbes and cells that can live as symbionts with the corals in the water within the 30 centimeters surrounding corals. She shares what they've learned so far from this research, and what's to come. Apprill also describes some of the signs which indicate unhealthy coral, and the research they're doing to determine what factors help healthy corals stay that way.

Why is Ukraine Caught Up in So Much Trump Administration Controversy?Guest: Celeste Beesley, PhD, Political Science Professor, BYUUkraine has a population just a little smaller than the state of California. It's not a global political or economic leader. Sowhy does it keep popping up in scandals related to President Trump? Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort is in prison for fraud related to his work with a Ukrainian president. The President's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has visited Ukraine numerous times in the last few years–and has apparently also consulted with Manafort in prison about Ukraine. And of course, there's the call President Trump had with Ukraine's president over the summer in which he asked for help investigating political rival Joe Biden. That call is at the center of the impeachment inquiry Democrats have begun. Mysterious Undersea World and the People Exploring ItGuest: Joel Llopiz, Associate Scientist and Member of Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionThere is a vast, virtually unexplored ecosystem lurking beneath the surface of the ocean. Scientists call it the Twilight Zone because it gets hardly any light. The fish down there are squishy and transparent and have big fangs and can glow on demand. The Twilight Zone is deep enough that it hasn't really been affected by humans yet. But commercial fishing companies are eyeing it now, so scientists who study the Twilight Zone are urging the UN to establish some rules for it soon. Watch the Camera. How TV Debates Shape OpinionsGuest: Patrick Stewart, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of ArkansasThe next Democratic presidential debate will be on October 15 and it will be the biggest in history. Twelve candidates will stand on the same stage. That's the most political historians can ever recall. And it'll likely make the debate pretty chaotic for viewers –not to mention the moderators and camera operators trying to keep track of who's saying what, who's interrupting and who's got a great facial reaction worth capturing. University of Arkansas political scientist Patrick Stewart's research suggests camera angles are way more important than you might think when it comes to shaping how you perceive the winners and losers in a debate. The Private Company That Conquered India and Paved the Way for Today's Corporate GiantsGuest: William Dalrymple, Scottish historian of India, author of “The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire”Corporations run the world. They own our data and control our consumption and shape how we think. Google, Amazon, Apple, Walmart, AT&T, Chevron, Exxon Mobil are all among the top 30 largest public companies in the world. But most of the names that list are banks so big and powerful that, when crisis strikes, countries must bail them out or risk having their economies go under. Powerful international companies like this can trace their roots directly back to the rise of the East India Company in the 1700s. It was the first of their kind, though, today's corporate giants are “tame beasts” by comparison, says Scottish historian William Dalrymple. In his new book, “The Anarchy,” Dalrymple explores how the East India Company–a private company -conquered all of India with its own military twice the size of the British army. Something's Toxic at Work and Companies Are Paying the PriceGuest: Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President & CEO, SHRM, the Society for Human Resource ManagementA quarter of Americans dread going to work each day. That's different from wishing you could be off doing something else. Dread implies something's rotten at work. The Society for Human Resource Management –SHRM–is just out with a new survey of American workers that suggests lots of businesses are struggling with how to deal with a “toxic culture” that alienates employees.

Thank you for listening to Mormon Sex Info. This episode is an archived episode and is only now becoming publicly available. Mormon Sex Info relies on contributions. To contribute, please visit: mormonsex.info Please enjoy the episode. Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Dr. Nicole Prause, founder of the Sexual Psychophysiology and Affective Neuroscience (SPAN) Laboratory, in regards to the research she has personally done (and is aware of) concerning our relationships with pornography and erotic viewing materials. They cover all types of topics such as: What are some common correlations that are made in regards to porn viewing research that are completely inaccurate? Are we aware that those who view porn tend to be more egalitarian in their relationships? Why does it matter if we call problematic behavior by the right name (i.e. addiction vs. compulsivity vs. out-of-control, etc.)? Did you know that women respond to erotica in similar ways as men do and even share similar sexual tastes? Did you know that people who view erotic films report having increased desire for sexual activity with their spouse/partner? Objectification of women is definitely a problem, but violence? Not so much. Did you know that those who report having “out of control” behavior with porn viewing actually watch the same or less than those who don’t identify with having a problem? And that research is now showing that those who see their behavior as problematic tend to come from religious or conservative backgrounds? Get up to date with what we think is science versus what is actually science in regards to positives and negatives that can come from porn/erotic viewing.   Nicole Prause obtained her PhD at Indiana University with joint supervision from The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in 2007. Her concentrations were in neuroscience and statistics. She completed her APA/APPIC clinical internship at the Boston Consortium. Her clinical rotations were in neuropsychological assessment and behavioral medicine; her research fellowship was at Harvard University in alcoholism treatment. She was promoted to Associate Scientist at UCLA in 2014. Current laboratory interests include primary rewards, transcranial brain stimulation, and approach motivation. She is licensed as a psychologist in the state of California. Dr. Prause currently holds positions as the founder of Liberos LLC, an independent research institute, and Data Scientist in Los Angeles.

A baboon from the SNPRC is undergoing an MRI. Neuropsychiatric diseases affect millions of people and can be disabling. Only about 8% of therapies that work in animal models make it all the way to humans. That's why Texas Biomed scientists are taking part in a study to try and find a better animal model to work with these complex health problems. The ultimate goal of this research, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, is to provide evidence for the use of baboons as a preclinical model for neuropsychiatric diseases. This two-year project involves 32 animals from the Southwest National Primate Research Center at Texas Biomed. The idea is to determine a miRNA biomarker signature of structural variation in the brains of baboons. The animals are being imaged at the Research Imaging institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Melanie A. Carless,  Ph.D., Associate Scientist Melanie Carless, Ph.D., an Associate Scientist at Texas Biomed, is principal investigator on the study.

Dr. Jane Witbrodt and Dr. Kostic will be joining us this Thursday live on Talk Recovery Radio 100.5 fm. Dr. Witbrodt is from the Alcohol Research Group, Associate Scientist, Formal and informal solutions to recovery from substance use disorders with emphasis on gender, racial/ethnic and cross-cultural differences. What Is Recovery? Elements that define recovery and the Science of Recovery systems. How to define recovery? Why undertake this project? There has been little agreement about the definition of recovery from alcohol and drug problems. Most of what we know about the definition of recovery has come from scientists and expert panels, not from people in recovery! The overriding purpose of the “What is Recovery” project was to develop a way of defining recovery based on how it is experienced by those who actually live it. Personal Story Time Dr. Witbrodt will be followed by Moe Love, telling her personal story of addiction and recovery. Talk Recovery is brought to you by Last Door Recovery Centre.

Oncolytic Virotherapy is a form of immunotherapy that is now being tested on malignant brain tumors in children. Dr. Gregory Friedman is the principal investigator for the first-ever pediatric trial of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV G207) in children with recurrent or progressive brain cancers.The herpes virus, which typically causes cold sores, has been engineered to be safe for normal cells, but can infect and kill cancer cells and stimulate the patient's own immune system to attack the tumor; this provides a "one-two punch" at killing tumor cells. This Phase 1 clinical trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is testing the safety and reliability of the virotherapy.To maximize the benefit of this therapy, Dr. Friedman's lab focuses on determining mechanisms of therapeutic resistance by exploring the role of tumor genotype, phenotype, and microenvironment as well as cellular defense mechanisms so that newer viruses, novel combinations, and unique routes of virus delivery may be developed to circumvent resistance mechanisms.Here to discuss Oncolytic Virotherapy is Dr. Gregory Friedman. He is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at UAB and Children's Hospital of Alabama, and an Associate Scientist at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center.For more information click here: Clinical Trial: HSV G207.

Honeybees, among all types of pollinators, pollinate over 1/3 of all U.S. foodstuffs. And they are in trouble. Colony Collapse Disorder is just one of a hive of serious issues compromising the health of honeybees kept by commercial-scale and hobby beekeepers, here and abroad. Many stakeholders share concerns - and conflicting views - about honeybee health: agricultural growers, government agencies, pesticide and herbicide manufacturing corporations, scientists, academics and - of course - beekeepers at every honeybee husbandry scale. Why can't these interests concur about causes - and work toward solutions - to critical bee-health issues?                 Researchers from the University of Wisconsin explored what is "credible" and "trusted" amid the human buzz of bee-related viewpoints, while also digging into bee health issue details. Biologist Dr. Sainath Suryanarayanan talks with Earthworms host jean Ponzi about this work. He co-authored the new book "Vanishing Bees: Science, Politics, and Honeybee Health" (Rutgers University Press, 2016) with sociologist Dr. Daniel Lee Kleinman. Suryanarayan is Associate Scientist for the Study of Trans-Disciplinary Biomedical Research, Department of Population Health Sciences, UW-Madison.

In the article "", I introduce you to the concept of using things like resisted, restricted and hypoxic breathing to significantly increase your oxygen utilization, your lung power, your VO2 max, and your inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and endurance. In that article, I mention a "PowerLung", which is a special portable restricted breathing device that I personally use when I'm driving around in my car, watching a movie, or waiting in line at the airport as a way to squeeze in a quick lung workout. I keep the Powerlung in my bag and just pull it out whenever I know I have a chance to boost my VO2max. It seems like cheating, but I can actually exercise my lungs just about anytime, anyplace. But how does the PowerLung thing actually work, is it proven, and can you actually increase your VO2 max without exercising? In today's audio podcast, I interview Greg Wells, Ph.D., the Assistant Professor of the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education at the University of Toronto and Associate Scientist of Physiology and Experimental Medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children. During our interview, you'll learn: -Which hidden muscles use over 15% of your energy needs during exercise... -The 2 best ways to do resisted breath training... -How your body pulls precious blood away from your arms and legs if you have weak breathing muscles... -Why breathing in and out of a straw isn't a good idea... -The sets and reps you should use for potent resisted breath training workout... -How resisted breathing is different than hypoxic training... -Why doing breath training the wrong way can increase body acidity... -What kind of resisted breath devices to use if you have asthma or other lung issues... -How resisted training could actually give you a six-pack abs... -And much more! ----------------------------------------- Resources: - (use code BGF025 for 25% discount) -Study: -White Paper: - (10% of proceeds when you use code BGF025 at go to the Sick Kids Foundation) Questions, comments or feedback about the Powerlung?
