Upgrade your biology in 10 minutes with this week's rundown from Dave Asprey. This episode breaks down the five biggest stories in biohacking and health-tech — from genetic rejuvenation to your future digital twin — giving you the tools to live longer, perform better, and stay ahead of the curve.This episode covers:• Vitamin D as the Surprising “Anti-Aging Pill”A new five-year randomized study shows that daily 2,000 IU vitamin D supplementation slowed telomere shortening by 140 base pairs compared to placebo, translating to measurable gains in biological youth. Vitamin D isn't just for bones anymore — it's a foundational longevity molecule.Source: Science Daily — https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251022023132.htm• The Supercentenarian Gene That Rejuvenates Old HeartsResearchers at the University of Bristol identified a gene variant, LAV-BPIFB4, common among people living past 100, that reversed cardiac aging in animal studies — restoring blood flow, heart strength, and tissue repair with a single treatment. It's a glimpse into how gene therapy could soon democratize superhuman longevity.Source: University of Bristol News — https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2025/october/progeria.html• FDA Closes the “GRAS” Loophole — Supplements Enter a New EraThe FDA just ended decades of self-certification for new dietary ingredients, requiring full agency review for anything entering the market. It's the biggest shakeup in supplement regulation in years — raising quality, accountability, and trust across the entire industry.Source: Mintz FDA Flux Newsletter — https://www.mintz.com/insights-center/viewpoints/2791/2025-10-16-fda-flux-october-2025-newsletter• Microbes That Trigger Autophagy — Your Gut as an Anti-Aging SwitchScientists at the University of Basel discovered that certain dietary bacteria containing double-stranded RNA can directly trigger autophagy, the body's built-in cell-recycling system. Fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut may now be proven longevity tools for activating repair from the inside out.Source: University of Basel — https://www.unibas.ch/en/News-Events/News/Uni-Research/Longevity-research—Dietary-stress-supports-healthy-aging.htmlFurther reading: Neuroscience News — https://neurosciencenews.com/dietary-rna-cellular-aging-29757/• Your Medical Avatar Is Coming — The Digital Twin of YouForbes reports on the rise of personalized “medical avatars” — AI-powered digital twins built from your wearables and biometrics that can predict health risks, recommend interventions, and evolve alongside your biology.

By Charles Lear, read by AI (written before AudioBlogs) The history of UFO sightings and alien encounters as portrayed in the popular media is, mostly, separated into distinct periods: modern, from the late 1890's airship flap followed by World War II “foo fighters” into post-1947 after the Kenneth Arnold report, and ancient interaction pieced together using “evidence” from the time of cave dwelling humans up to the time of the builders of cities and megalithic structures.  UFOs depicted in Byzantine paintings (misinterpreted conventional symbols) the 1561 report from Nuremburg, Germany and the 1566 report from Basel, Switzerland are often thrown in during reviews of UFO history but what about the time in between then and the 1890's?  It turns out that there are quite a few reports from the period in question and they read like modern reports although they were written before the modern context of alien visitation.

For the people of 16th-century Europe, the sky was a place of divine mystery, not a battlefield for mortal men. But in 1566, the heavens over Basel, Switzerland, became just that, as hundreds of dark spheres waged a mysterious war before the eyes of the citizens below.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ted and Travis chat up the last two matches for the boys in the brustring, the loss at Basel in the UEL and the win at home in the Buli. They cover the disappointing second match of the Europa League but spend more time - because positivity is key! - on the win over bogey team Heidenheim, a hard-fought, well-deserved victory that puts the fellas in a top four spot going into the international break. Which of course they whine about. Oh, and of course they ponder the big questions of the day ... like who would watch the NFL in Europe, especially when it's the Vikings and the Browns, and who in their right mind would import American beer for said game?!Make sure to catch our episode post-Basel on the Bundesliga Show: https://www.youtube.com/live/DKg1ppVcpFc?si=2oogS8Dmw3ghtkGA

Unterwegs mit dem künftigen FDP-Duo. Und: Jährlich werden in der Schweiz Tausende Velos und E-Bikes geklaut: Wer kauft die Velos und wo landen sie? Das Experiment. Ausserdem: die schwierige Situation der Frauen in Afghanistan. Chef und Chefin: Das künftige Führungsduo der FDP Um die Nachfolge von FDP-Präsident Thierry Burkhart hat sich niemand gerissen – nun wollen sich künftig zwei die Aufgabe teilen: Susanne Vincenz-Stauffacher und Benjamin Mühlemann sollen die Partei aus dem Formtief führen: eine Frau vom linken und ein Mann vom rechten Parteiflügel. Wo steuert das Duo den Freisinn hin? Franziska Ramser hat sie begleitet. Velo geklaut – Auf der Spur gestohlener E-Bikes In der Schweiz werden jedes Jahr Tausende Elektrovelos gestohlen. Hotspot ist Basel. Viele der geklauten Velos landen im Ausland. Wie funktioniert die internationale Veloschieberei? Und welche Rolle spielt der Drogenhandel dabei? Die «Rundschau» hat sich ein E-Bike stehlen lassen – und es bis nach Albanien verfolgt. In der Hölle der Taliban: Der Mut der Frauen in Afghanistan Seit der Rückkehr der Taliban ist das Leben für Frauen in Afghanistan ein Alptraum: Sie dürfen weder Schulen noch Universitäten besuchen und sind von den meisten Arbeitsplätzen ausgeschlossen. Sie dürfen weder allein reisen noch ihr Gesicht zeigen und sich auch nicht öffentlich äussern. Einem Journalistenteam gelang es – unter dem Vorwand, sich für Sehenswürdigkeiten zu interessieren – im Land zu filmen. Sie dokumentieren die Situation der Frauen im Land eindrücklich. Um die Identität der Frauen zu schützen, sind ihre Gesichter teilweise durch KI-generierte Bilder verfremdet.

It's a short week so it's a short episode as Matt and Travis briefly chat VfB Celta and KOE VfB ... two big wins in one big week!

All the while mocking one another's MLB teams ... while at the same time mocking their own. Yay Midwestern humor!

On 1 October 1526, Dorothy Stafford was born, a woman of Plantagenet blood who would spend forty years at the heart of Elizabeth I's privy chamber. In this episode, I trace Dorothy's remarkable path: Family webs: Stafford–Pole lineage (Buckingham & Clarence), and marriage to Sir William Stafford, Mary Boleyn's widower. Exile & faith: Under Mary I she fled to Geneva; in 1556 John Calvin stood godfather to her son (then they famously fell out, and she moved to Basel). Return & rise: With Elizabeth's accession (1559), Dorothy joined the privy chamber and became one of the queen's trusted sleeping companions. When she broke her leg in 1576, the court scrambled for a replacement so the queen could sleep peacefully. Storms weathered: Even the Stafford Plot involving her son didn't unseat her. Dorothy died in 1604, remembered at St Margaret's, Westminster, as a “continual remembrancer of the suits of the poor.” A royal confidante. Mediator. Quiet backbone of a court.

She shares how embracing her multifaceted identity and saying “yes” to new opportunities—like video editing and coaching—paved the way for her current work. This episode dives into the power of redefining “physician,” the value of coaching for personal growth, and the courage to step away from traditional medicine to serve patients on your own terms.You'll hear how they:Navigate the emotional and professional challenges of leaving a specialty that no longer alignsUse coaching to uncover personal strengths and reframe physician identityEmbrace creative outlets like video editing to build new ventures in healthcareHighlight the growing trend of physicians starting independent practices, from ketamine clinics to telemedicineIf you're a physician feeling stuck or seeking a more fulfilling career, this episode offers honest insights and practical inspiration for your own journey.About the Guest“I am a multifaceted individual.

Source: reuters.com The original proposal, advanced under the Biden administration in 2023, was scrapped earlier in 2025 amid fierce pushback from the banking industry, which argued it would impose unjustified hikes in capital requirements—potentially up to 20% or more for large banks—hampering lending and economic growth. Bowman, appointed under President Trump, described the redo as an effort to "rightsize" these requirements for larger banks, making regulations more effective and efficient without weakening safety standards. Does This Affect Gold? Yes, the Basel III Endgame revisions are broadly viewed as positive for gold, potentially boosting demand for physical gold as a reserve asset. Under the updated framework, physical gold is reclassified as a Tier 1 asset—equivalent to cash or U.S.

Namibia's colonial history casts a long shadow over the country's present. Contemporary authors and artists confront the legacies of German and South African colonial rule and engage creatively with the persistent remnants of the past. In their works, the archive remains both an invaluable and fraught resource for accessing obscured histories.  In Troubling Archives: History and Memory in Namibian Literature and Art (Transcript, 2025) Julia Rensing examines how writers and artists from Namibia and South Africa navigate archival silences, omissions, and power structures to renegotiate historical narratives and address intergenerational trauma. Their creative practices challenge conventional understandings of archives and forms of commemoration, highlighting the diverse experiences that shape Namibian society and memory cultures.
