Hoje eu recebo duas mulheres com histórias de vida tão distintas quanto impressionantes. As duas tiveram contato com os esportes na infância, mas nada que as envolvesse muito além das aulas de educação física, natação ou ginástica artística. Até que, um dia, os pais de uma delas lhe fizeram um convite inusitado: caminhar com eles até o acampamento base do Everest. Com 15 anos, sem ter muita noção da aventura, ela aceitou. Durante a caminhada, conheceu uma escaladora e se encantou com suas histórias. Ali nasceu o desejo de se aprofundar no montanhismo e um dia alcançar o cume da maior montanha do mundo. Seus pais embarcaram na ideia e, juntos, deram início ao projeto de escalar os sete cumes mais altos de cada continente. Um ano depois, ela se tornaria a brasileira mais jovem a subir o Kilimanjaro e, nos anos seguintes, ao lado do pai, encarou outras  quatro montanhas até chegar ao topo do Everest, em 2018, como a brasileira mais jovem a conquistar esse feito. Nesse caminho, também descobriu outra paixão: a dança, que se tornaria uma parte fundamental da sua vida. Minha outra convidada buscou as trilhas como uma forma de aliviar o estresse e a ansiedade que vieram com a sua ascensão profissional. Sentiu os benefícios e, pouco a pouco, foi se aventurando mais, até participar também da caminhada até o acampamento base do Everest. A experiência foi transformadora e despertou nela a vontade de ir além. Em um curso de escalada em rocha, conheceu um montanhista experiente que, anos depois, se tornaria seu marido. Juntos, criaram um ousado desafio: escalar o Everest e o Lhotse em menos de 24 horas. Dois anos de preparação culminaram na realização do projeto e em dois recordes — tornaram-se o primeiro casal a conquistar esse feito e ela, a primeira mulher sul-americana. Nenhuma das duas veio de uma família de montanhistas ou de um ambiente onde o alpinismo fosse algo comum. Romperam barreiras como o medo, o preconceito e abriram espaço num cenário historicamente masculino. São exemplos claros de como paixão, foco e uma visão ampliada de mundo podem transformar vidas. Este ano, elas se uniram em um projeto inédito. Junto com as montanhistas Daniela Furusawa e Vanessa de Oliveira, farão o trekking e a escalada do Himlung Himal, no Nepal, com 7.126 metros de altitude. O diferencial: toda a equipe será formada por mulheres - guias, carregadoras e equipe de cozinha. Comigo aqui a artista do movimento, fotógrafa, montanhista, graduada em Dança pela Unicamp, que equilibra projetos artísticos e pesquisas com a coordenação de festivais e workshops internacionais, a joseense Ayesha Melo Zangaro; e a engenheira eletricista, com especialização em Gestão e Estratégia de Empresas pela Unicamp, MBA em Finanças Corporativas e Finanças Pessoais, montanhista e planejadora financeira, a guaxupeana Olívia Bonfim Melo.

Youth Talk with Bibi Ayesha:Digital parenting & digital teenpreneurs Guest: Bilal Kathrada by Radio Islam

In this episode of the Xtalks Life Science Podcast, Ayesha speaks with Stella Sarraf, PhD, founder, CEO and director of Spinogenix, a company pioneering neurodegenerative therapeutics designed to restore synapses with the potential to reverse cognitive and motor decline in conditions such as ALS, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders. Dr. Sarraf shares the scientific inspiration behind Spinogenix's novel approach and how the company is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in neuroscience. With a career spanning big pharma (Merck), venture capital (Foresite Capital, Prospect Ventures) and multiple biotech startups, Dr. Sarraf brings a unique and visionary perspective to the translational challenges of drug development. In 2013, Dr. Sarraf founded Amydis, a company developing ocular tracers for digital detection of neurodegenerative diseases. She then founded Spinogenix in 2016 to focus on developing novel neurodegenerative therapeutics. Dr. Sarraf has a PhD in organic chemistry from Columbia University and a BA in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Tune in to hear Dr. Sarraf discuss the urgent unmet needs in neurodegeneration, what makes Spinogenix's approach different from traditional neuroprotective therapies and how restoring synaptic function could change the trajectory of these diseases.

Behind the staggering statistics on global diabetes prevalence are millions of individuals with different stories, struggles, and solutions. In this episode, we explore how diabetes affects your brain, body, and cognition, and how it can be prevented, managed, and (in many cases) reversed. We share some powerful personal stories from the clinic, bust some persistent food myths, and learn why diabetes is as much a neurological emergency as a metabolic one. Plus, we speak to three leading experts who are changing the way we treat diabetes: BRENDA DAVIS, RD: renowned dietitian and global authority on plant-based nutrition. DR. MICHELLE MCMACKEN, MD: Executive Director of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals, Associate Professor at NYU, and public health leader. DR. THEODORE FRIEDMAN: Professor and Chair of Internal Medicine at Charles Drew University. In this episode, we discuss: • The difference between Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes • How diabetes can contribute to cognitive decline • The role of lipotoxicity and intramuscular fat in insulin resistance • Why “cutting carbs” isn't the full story (and how to focus on food quality) • How public health systems are evolving to make prevention accessible and equitable • The real science behind CGMs (and why glucose spikes shouldn't cause a panic) • How new drugs like Ozempic can support (but not replace) lifestyle change This is...

Global trade has been a risk to the markets for most of this year. Through last week, ever more so. The tariff story has been a shock to the system and is beginning to see governments spend differently at home. Investing in their own supply chains, or with new partners in the global system. Fresh rounds of local stimulus means new opportunities to bolster exposure to global local markets and give parts of the emerging world new reasons to shine.

Creatine, Brain Health, And Alzheimer's: The Research, Explained “A new pilot study on creatine and Alzheimer's disease has caused a stir in the science, health, and wellness circles of social media, with many viral videos making bold claims like “creatine reverses memory loss” or “creatine reduces the risk of dementia. But what does the science actually show?” By Dr Ayesah Sherzai at @thebraindocs. #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #braindocs #creatine #alzheimers #dementia #cognitivedecline ===================== Original post: https://thebraindocs.com/creatine-alzheimers-study-explained/  ===================== Ayesha and Dean Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. They're both practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband and wife duo that know the value of healthy lifestyle choices and they've  seen the impact that their NEURO Plan framework has in making the sick healthy and in taking healthy to the next level.  They met as young physicians and in their first conversation learned that both of their grandparents had spent their remaining days on this Earth suffering from dementia. They vowed to do whatever they could to help others avoid this fate and build healthy minds and bodies.

Is romantasy dead? That's the question we try to answer on our latest Short Stories episode. Ayesha gets the ball rolling by giving her thoughts on recent romantasy read, QuickSilver, and what booktok's take is on Silver Elite. This leads us to question what exactly romantasy means these days and why all of the sudden it seems like newly published romantasy books are giving us…well, nothing. No plot, only vibes (if even that). After airing our many grievances with the genre, we try to end with recommending some romantasy books we do actually enjoy!

Stroke is one of the biggest causes of death in the world — but also one of the most preventable. Up to 80–90% of strokes could be avoided with more awareness, resources, and a firmer focus on prevention over intervention. In this episode, we're joined by renowned stroke neurologist and public health pioneer Dr. Olajide Williams, MD, MS, whose ‘Hip-Hop Stroke' movement is a shining example of enacting culturally-sensitive community-wide healthcare change. In this episode, we discuss: • What actually causes a stroke (and how to spot one in seconds using the ‘act FAST' acronym) • Why blood pressure is the #1 modifiable risk factor (and how stress and sleep impact it) • How social determinants like ZIP code and health literacy shape stroke risk • How Dr. Williams' Hip Hop Stroke campaign helped kids teach their parents how to save lives • What every family should know about TIAs (‘mini-strokes') and silent strokes Whether stroke runs in your family, or you simply want to protect your brain, this episode could change (and save) lives.

How can we eat better when we're constantly marketed to in a way that hijacks our attention and habits? To complement the incredible discussions we regularly have about brain-healthy nutrition, in this episode, we've having a very important conversation about how the food industry works against our best intentions, and how we can break through the psychological barriers they use to hold us back. We're joined by Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University, whose name is practically synonymous with food policy: a pioneering nutritionist, public health advocate, and author of some of the most important books in this space, including Food Politics, What to Eat, and Unsavory Truth. In this episode, we discuss: • The neuroscience of why food choices aren't “just willpower” • Why access, not just knowledge, is the biggest barrier to good nutrition • The importance of schools, policy, and local food programs in shaping food culture • The role of stress, fatigue, and decision overload in weakening dietary choices • Why social media is a double-edged sword for nutrition information  • How we can make a difference at the community level This is...

 A tiny bite from a tiny tick can trigger a complex disease which speaks to some huge problems with our healthcare system. In this episode, we explain the biology, controversy, and cultural blind spots around Lyme disease, a condition that reflects much more than just a bacterial infection. It's also a mirror for our most urgent public health issues: inequality, misinformation, climate change, and the growing mistrust of science. We speak with two world-class experts: • Dr. John Aucott: Director of the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Clinical Research Center and leading voice on post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) • Dr. Richard Marconi: Professor of microbiology and immunology at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a pioneering scientist behind next-generation Lyme vaccines Together, we explore: • Why Lyme disease symptoms can linger long after treatment • What makes Lyme so neurologically disruptive (and so hard to diagnose) • How climate change, suburban development, and racial disparities intersect with the rise of tick-borne illness • The dangers of alternative medicine grifters preying on desperate patients • The truth about the original Lyme vaccine, and what's coming next...

Restoring a person's ability to speak, enabling individuals with paralysis to regain movement, and detecting neurodegenerative diseases earlier than ever — these are just some of the breakthroughs brain-computer interfaces are making possible. In this episode, we explore the astonishing world of BCIs: technologies that are giving autonomy and independence back to people with diseases like ALS. We discuss: • How BCIs are helping people with neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injuries communicate using decoded brain signals • How brain-computer interfaces actually work (and why they're NOT just reading your mind) • Why motor cortex implants may help decode speech, even when inserted in unexpected regions • The ethical challenges of privacy, data ownership, and access in the era of brain-connected devices • The future of the field, from restoring language after stroke to enabling communication in children with cerebral palsy We speak with three world-leading researchers and clinicians who are helping shape this rapidly-advancing area of neuroscience: • Dr. Leigh Hochberg, director of the Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery at Massachusetts General Hospital, and principal clinical investigator of the pilot clinical trials of the BrainGate Neural Interface System. • Dr. David Brandman, neurosurgeon and co-director of the UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab. • Dr. Sergey Stavisky, neural engineer and co-director of the UC Davis Neuroprosthetics Lab.

Gluten has become one of the most misunderstood aspects of modern nutrition. Let's set the record straight. In this episode, we untangle the medical, neurological, and cultural narratives surrounding gluten, from celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity to real (and rare) cases of gluten-induced brain dysfunction. We discuss: • The differences between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy • How gluten affects the gut, and what ‘leaky gut' really means • Whether gluten can trigger neurological symptoms like ataxia and brain fog • Why cutting out gluten without a diagnosis may do more harm than good • How wheat contributes to a healthy microbiome (and why fiber matters) • What role zonulin plays in gut permeability and immune activation • Why brain fog isn't yet well understood (and the theories behind it) To help us decode the science (and bust the myths) of gluten, nutrition, and the brain, we're joined by two world-renowned experts: DR. ALESSIO FASANO: pediatric gastroenterologist, research scientist, and chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition at Mass General for Children (MGfC), and director of the Center for Celiac Research.

Tripped-out excursions through percussive club music with the Nowadays resident. Ayesha Chugh, AKA Ayesha, makes club music that activates the body. The Brooklyn-based artist has spent the last few years carving out a distinct lane in modern club music. Her fusion of dubstep, techno and essential '90s rave elements into dynamite club tools that test and support dancers in equal measure. This time though, for her RA Podcast, Chugh purposefully tilts in a "more colorful wonky direction." Since first turning heads with releases on labels like Fever AM and Kindergarten Records, she's continued to refine a sound that feels both playful and punishing, marked by writhing basslines, rumbling drums and an innate ability to make bodies move. Her productions capture a kind of kinetic precision—tracks that are slippery yet forceful, balancing psychedelic textures with dubstep-like physicality and club-focused power. As Andrew Ryce wrote of her debut, Rhythm is Memory, her skill is "full of textures that wrap around the otherwise thudding, sub-heavy kick drums." After a serious accident in 2024 stopped her in her tracks, this year marks a full return to global touring with a new vantage point on life and the sound she seeks to push. RA.983, clocking in at nearly two and a half hours, finds Chugh flexing that club muscle once again. Offering a tour through global club music both old and new, it's based around a set at her home base Nowadays this February. It's a patient but relentless ride: from deep, tunneling psytrance, progressive techno and slippery electro before really turning on the gas at the half mark, moving into slanted UK techno territory. As she explains in the Q&A, it's a carefully curated selection of tracks that probes "what we perceive as tasteful." It's a mix that speaks to her deep knowledge of dance music's lineage—and her intuitive ability to push it forward. @aye5ha Find the interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/983

First of all, we are old. Like, what is happening?! My allergies are out here fighting for their life, and Dex's back is giving up on her. If y'all have any remedies for allergies that don't involve me living in a bubble, let me know because I am struggling.   But let's get into it—this week, we had a very heated debate over Ayesha Howard and Anthony Howard. Listen, I just have questions—like, is it okay to still be making major mistakes at 38 when choosing who to have a baby with? Because at some point, shouldn't we be making better decisions? Meanwhile, Dex is over here saying we're all making assumptions about Ayesha's situation, and she deserves more grace. And the big question—should a woman give up her baby just because the man makes it clear he doesn't want to be involved? Whew. We got into it.   Speaking of bad decisions at our big age, we took a little detour to talk about the Take It Down Act—which, yes, is being pushed by Melania Trump. It's aimed at protecting people from revenge porn, but it had us asking—are grown people still sending nudes in 2025?    Then we switch gears to 19-year-old Aleyshia Ortiz, who is out here suing her school district for graduating her without knowing how to read or write. WHO is to blame for this? The school system? Her parents? Dex is out here calling for George Bush's standardized testing (who knew she'd miss that?!), and I—Carla—am putting this one on her mama.Because how do you not notice your child can't read?!   We need to hear from y'all! Should Ayesha have kept the baby? Are we too old to be sending nudes? And who do we blame for Aleyshia's situation? Hit us up! Let's talk about it.
