Podcasts about before it's too late

From the Home Shopping Network to Amazon, retailers will market their products in order to create a false sense of urgency. We hear & read descriptions that say, "Hurry Now, Last Chance, Ends Tomorrow". Count down timers, supply & demand, as well as free shipping are employed to entice sales. These marketing strategies are successful for generating sales of products that are wants, not needs. However, there is a need for all of humanity; eternal salvation. In John 7:25-36, Jesus utilizes these same methods when speaking of salvation. Essentially, He is saying, "Act Now, Before It's Too Late".

Today's guest is Erika Cheung, a key whistleblower who reported Theranos to health regulators. Her report subsequently led to the shutdown of Theranos' clinical lab which prevented the company from providing false medical results to thousands of patients. The case has been reported on extensively, including in the book Bad Blood by John Carreyou, 60 Minutes, ABD Podcast: The Drop Out, and Alex Gibney's documentary The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley. Erika obtained a dual degree in Linguistics and Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley. She is part of the Betatron family as she was a Program Director in its early days.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 196 - Prepare to Unlock a Year of Unparalleled Success!  Would you like to learn a magic formula that will ensure you pave the year ahead with success? Eric shares a strategy today that will guarantee you stay on track for prosperity in the coming year. In today's episode, he explains how he organizes his time, sets his priorities, and, most significantly, holds himself accountable for the tasks he undertakes. Join us today to learn about Eric's game-changing formula, designed to sidestep all the pitfalls and pave the way for a truly successful and fulfilling year. Stay tuned for a conversation packed with insights and practical tips! Defining Your Ideal Week  To kickstart a successful year, begin by planning your ideal week. You can use tools like Excel or any other planning software to create a one-page overview of your week, from morning routines to business priorities and personal activities. Blocking out dedicated time for everything you have to do will ensure your week is balanced, purposeful, and aligned with your goals. Analyzing Time and Delegating Effectively  Next, you need to look at the critical aspect of time management. Eric suggests keeping a detailed record of all your daily activities for a few weeks and categorizing them into “do," "delegate," and "stop" columns. That will help you identify any areas that require improvement, let you delegate tasks efficiently, give you the time to focus on essential activities, and eliminate all the non-productive elements. Setting and Reviewing Goals To avoid setting and forgetting your yearly goals, Eric emphasizes the importance of doing regular reviews. Breaking down your long-term goals into quarterly milestones will ensure you stay aligned with your objectives. Adopting this approach will facilitate your smooth transition from yearly planning to monthly, weekly, and daily planning, making your goals more manageable and achievable. Time Blocking and Priority Reflection  It is essential to incorporate your goals into your calendar. All your commitments, whether personal or professional, should be scheduled to reflect your priorities accurately. The strategy of time blocking will ensure that crucial tasks are allocated the necessary attention and do not get lost in the hustle and bustle of your daily activities. Daily Planning  Reviewing your schedule for the upcoming week every Sunday will help you to facilitate your daily planning. You can also identify three crucial tasks each evening that will constitute a win for the next day when accomplished.  Accountability Eric emphasizes the importance of being accountable and explains that most successful individuals have a coach or an accountability partner. Checking in regularly with an accountability buddy will ensure you get the support and motivation you need to stay on track and achieve your goals. The roadmap to a successful year involves a strategic blend of weekly planning, effective time management, goal setting, time blocking, and daily accountability.  Eric's comprehensive approach will lead you to a more purposeful and fulfilling year.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 194 – Two Easy Ways to Increase Your Sales with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric is excited to share two simple yet effective strategies to boost your sales substantially. He will also explain how to fortify your pipeline and refine your pitch.  These strategies are not only straightforward but also incredibly efficient. Get ready to reap the rewards after using these simple yet powerful methods for transforming your sales approach! Becoming a Strategic Adviser Positioning yourself as a strategic adviser rather than a logistical expert can be a game-changer. Becoming a strategic partner will allow you to demonstrate your power of understanding and address your clients' core business concerns. Personal Accountability for Sales Success Personal accountability plays a pivotal role in increasing sales. During a conference, Eric noticed a surprising need for more commitment among sales professionals toward dedicating just one hour daily for prospecting and client outreach. One hour per day equates to reaching out to approximately 800 people annually. Your calendar reflects your priorities, and by making this small and impactful commitment, you position yourself to expand your network and increase business significantly. It is a straightforward strategy, yet it often gets neglected. Implementing just one hour each day of focused effort will allow you a proactive stance in shaping your success and positively impacting your sales. Two Fundamental Principles Success in sales depends on two fundamental principles: Being a strategic adviser  Maintaining personal accountability  Take Action Now You can begin integrating these simple and effective strategies into your approach immediately. Understanding and addressing your clients' core business needs and committing just one hour daily to outreach are tangible and actionable steps toward enhancing your sales.  Remember, success is within your control, and there is no better time than now to start implementing these strategies and witnessing the positive impact on your business.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

The Business of Meetings – Episode 193- Five Steps to Define Your Business Vision with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric shares a game-changing tool he uses for helping and advising people and coaching business owners. He used the same exercise to help him visualize and map out the future course of his current business. Prepare to be amazed by the incredible results and clarity of direction this process brings you when you put it into practice!  From Shock to a Life-Changing Vision In March 2020, during an annual retreat with his EO group, Eric recalls sitting around a campfire and experiencing the initial shock of sports cancellations due to the onset of COVID-19. Interestingly, the theme of the retreat was envisioning your life in 2030. Eric joined the retreat without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the life-changing nature of the process he learned there. Since then, he has often returned to the exercise and reflected on what he wrote during the retreat. A Comprehensive Approach to Shaping the Future of Your Business This exercise is a comprehensive yet straightforward approach to envisioning and shaping the future of your life and business. To make the process more practical, we have broken it down into five manageable steps and aimed it toward 2030: Start by identifying and categorizing the different areas of your life into seven different categories, like health, work, finances, fun, family, and personal development. Once you have defined those areas, rate your current standing within each area in terms of where you are today compared with where you would like to be in 2030, and then set goals for 2030. Create a visual representation, like a chart or graph, to further clarify your goals. Dedicate time to outlining three concrete actions you will take for each area within the next 12 months to propel yourself toward your 2030 goals. It could involve anything from lifestyle changes to professional development initiatives.  Make a list of questions based on how you want your life to be in 2030. Start by thinking about every area of your life, and then list a conclusive series of questions about all of those areas. The questions should cover where you want to live, your relationship aspirations, career achievements, legacy goals, and anything else you hope for. Take all the time you need to answer these questions. Choose a specific day or date in 2030 and describe it as a day in your life. Take all the time you need to vividly depict that day, incorporating all the details you gathered while answering the previous question. This part of the exercise may only take a few hours, or you may need multiple sessions to complete it. By approaching these five steps systematically, you can transform this seemingly overwhelming exercise into a practical and transformative tool for long-term planning. Remember, the key is to let the process unfold gradually. You may need to revisit the process from time to time, to refine your vision.  If you have any questions or need guidance, reach out to Eric. He will provide all the support you need.  If you embark on this journey enthusiastically, you will be astounded by all the remarkable results and newfound clarity it brings into your life and business.

Welcome back to Season 6! You might've noticed that we changed the name of the show to more accurately reflect the focus, which is to explore the transition from midlife to old age. [B]OLDER seemed a bit too general, so it's now [B]OLD AGE. Given our ageist society, it requires [b]oldness to say proudly, "I am old." This season our goal is to be even more honest and vulnerable about what it's like as the clock ticks away.For this first episode, Debbie is joined by her husband, Sam Harrington, a popular recurring guest who is known for his dry humor. He's a retired physician and an author.They start by talking about how aging has suddenly accelerated for both of them, in their early 70s. Sam says he can see his telomeres fraying when he looks in the mirror. He notes that only a decade ago they still looked remarkably young in photos. (See photo accompanying this episode; in 2014 Debbie and Sam were hanging out in Madagascar with lemurs.)//////////Don't miss the Behind The Scenes for every episode in Debbie's [B]OLD AGE newsletter. Leave a comment or question on Substack and she promises to respond.//////////They also talk about the long vigil of accompanying a dying parent and how that affects your own sense of old age; how health span has noticeably increased in the past 50 years;  and what the stunning demographic shift to an aging society will mean. By 2030, there will be more adults over 65 than children under 18. Debbie notes the parallel between the acceleration of aging and the acceleration of global warming. At first the changes are slow and hardly noticeable. Then they happen all at once, like this past summer.But the conversation veers back to the physiological fact of aging. Sam's favorite mantra is that "80 might be the new 60, but 86 is the new 85." The current research to better understand and to slow aging may be too late to benefit them, Sam says.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Definition of heuristicDefinition of telomeresLiving to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect (The Economist, Sept. 28, 2023)How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World (The New York Times, July 16, 2023)The Washington Gerontocracy (The New Yorker, September 24, 2023)AT PEACE: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life by Samuel Harrington MD (Hachette, 2018)Earlier podcast episode: S5-EP7: Andrew Steele on Research at the Cellular Level That Could Slow AgingSam's summer project: Island Workforce Housing on Deer Isle, Maine. Connect with Debbie:[B]OLD AGE podcast[B]OLD AGE newsletter on SubstackEmail: thebolderpodcast@gmail.comDebbie & Sam's joint blog: Gap Year After Sixty Facebook: @debbieweilInstagram: @debbieweilLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/debbieweil Our Media Partners:CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org)MEA and with thanks to Chip ConleyNext For Me (former media partner and in memory of Jeff Tidwell)How to Support this podcast:Leave a review on Apple PodcastsSubscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or SpotifyCredits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Far Out MediaMusic: Lakeside Path by Duck Lake

About Eric Eric has always been working in small businesses. He has started and exited several small businesses and has been involved in various organizations. He loves what he does, which includes sharing content via his books and this podcast, and being a trusted advisor for entrepreneurs. He also seeks to acquire small businesses, mainly in service, hospitality, and in continued professional education. Why did you start your business? Business is a rollercoaster, and it is never easy. When you are going through difficult times, it helps to remember why you started the business in the first place. Why would you want to sell your business? People sell their businesses for various reasons. Some build their businesses so the next generation can take over, while others consider selling because they no longer have the drive to continue. Sometimes, people sell to make money or because they want more time to focus on what they enjoy most. What is your number, and what is your time frame? If you are considering selling your business five years from now, you need to know how much it is worth today, how much you will need to make when you sell it, and how to increase its value by the time you are ready to sell it. You will be taxed when you sell, so you will not get 100% of the proceeds. What are your values? Define your values because they will influence whatever matters to you. They will influence how you grow your business, how and when you sell it, who you sell it to, and what you do to protect those working there. How much is enough? Work out how much will be enough to cover whatever you want from life. That should include your lifestyle choice and the goals you hope to achieve. What buyers look for You will likely get a higher price if you sell to a company that sees your business as a strategic acquisition rather than selling to someone who would operate the business. Venture capital and private equity buyers look for good investments and they usually have a lot of funding to invest. However, you might not be at their level of investment. Eric is an acquisition entrepreneur. He looks for businesses between one and two million EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Potential buyers It is helpful to look at potential companies that could acquire your business. Look at the type of businesses they have and the acquisitions they make. Get to know them, and perhaps even develop a relationship with them. Buyer expectations You will need to match your potential buyers' expectations to your values and numbers. Increase the value Your business will be worth more if it can function without you. You can also create value by hiring the right people, building the right culture, and having the right processes in every department. Team building Focus on your strengths and leverage them. Hire for your weaknesses and delegate everything outside of your zone of energy, to increase the value of your business. Know your numbers You need to know the numbers, the analytics for projects, and your profit. Plan for your cash flow and the KPIs that matter, and focus on EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Retiring rather than re-tiring When you stop doing something you have been doing for many years, replace it with something to keep you busy and occupy your brain. Find something stimulating to do after you sell your company. In summary Focus on the processes, people, and culture. Most importantly, ensure you have a good plan to execute and focus on your accountability. (Eric suggests having an accountability buddy.)

When most people think of retirement, they think of slowing down. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines' Everyday Wealth™, Jean talks with Michael Clinton, author of “ROAR: into the second half of your life (Before It's Too Late)”, about how to reimagine retirement and make the most of it. Later in the episode, wealth planner Isabel Barrow joins the show to discuss what to consider when you change jobs later in life.   This show is pre-recorded, and any callers are prescreened. Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth radio show and podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.  That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses.  The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Clinton, former president and publishing director of Hearst Magazine, shares some captivating insights and stories from his best selling book, ROAR into the second half of your life (Before It's Too Late!). People are living longer, and we should stop saying things like “getting older”, but instead say “living longer”. It's a fact. Michael has the research and success stories of people he's interviewed for the book to back it up these truths. The idea of “retiring” can now be seen as “rewiring” for the years ahead. Be a “re-imagineer” and start reimagining your life now, before others do it for you. Whether you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, even 80s, it's never too late. Have a listen.

Eric's ten recommended books: The Joy of Success, by Susan Ford Collins The Business Model Generation, by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur The Hawke Method, by Eric Huberman Trust Me, I'm Lying, by Ryan Holiday Who Not How, by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Alter Ego Effect, by Todd Herman Building a StoryBrand, by Donald Miller The Psychology of Money, by Morgan Housel One Last Talk, by Philip McKernan Before It's Too Late, by Eric Rozenberg The Joy of Success, by Susan Ford Collins Susan is a Co-founder of the Strategic Forum in Miami. She has been coaching people throughout her career. The Joy of Success: Ten Essential Skills for Getting the Success You Want was the first of the several books she has written. While writing the book, she looked into what made people successful and realized there are ten essential skills every successful person applies, regardless of their culture or country.  Eric found the ten skills she mentioned exciting and easy to apply. He particularly likes her idea of creating a Success File. The Business Model Generation: A Handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur (Designed by Alan Smith) Eric often refers to this book in his workshops or when people talk to him about their businesses because it is an interesting story. Alexander Osterwalder was writing a dissertation on business models, and that became his business. The idea behind it is to have different blocks to consider for any kind of business. You can download a tool called Business Model Canvas, where everything is mapped into one box to brainstorm a business model for a business of any size. It will eliminate the need to do market research for at least six months. The Hawke Method, by Erik Huberman Erik Huberman leads one of the fastest-growing digital agencies in America. He positioned the term “fractional CMO”. The book, The Hawke Method, is centered around the principles of awareness, nurturing, and building trust. The author gives concrete examples to illustrate ways to implement those principles. Eric recommends this book for anyone from beginners in the marketing field to seasoned entrepreneurs. Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator, by Ryan Holiday Ryan Holiday has written several books, including Stillness Is the Key and Perennial Seller.

Videos: Stunning AI shows how it would remove humans. w Elon Musk. Elon Musk's Last Warning 2022 – “I Tried To Warn You The Last Few Years” (BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!) A terrifying prediction for 2030 (the Great Reset) Inflation Will Wipe Out 50% of Population, It's the End of America Warns Robert Kiyosaki Diets high in N-3 polyunsaturated fats may help decrease risk of breast cancer A new study evaluates associations between breast cancer risk and intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, based on menopause status North American Menopause Society, July 27, 2022 Diet has long been reported to potentially affect breast cancer risk. Growing evidence suggests that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may play a role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. A new study documents an inverse association between breast cancer risk and n-3 PUFA consumption, especially in premenopausal women who are obese.  Previous studies have been conducted to investigate the association of n-3 PUFAs with breast cancer risk but have shown mixed results. Many of these studies were performed only in postmenopausal women because the peak age for breast cancer is 60 to 70 years in western countries, whereas it is age 40 to 50 years in Asian countries. In this latest hospital-based, case-control study including nearly 1,600 cases, researchers not only examined the association between the intake of n-3 PUFAs in general with breast cancer, but they also looked at the effect of individual n-3 PUFAs. Good sources of n-3 PUFAs include fish, vegetable oil, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds and flaxseed oil, and leafy vegetables. Because the human body does not produce n-3 fatty acids naturally, these food sources are essential. The study concluded that a higher intake of marine n-3 PUFAs and total n-3 PUFAs was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Dietary a-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid also were inversely associated with breast cancer risk. Such inverse associations were more evident in premenopausal women and women with certain types of breast tumors. In addition, a decreased risk of breast cancer was significantly associated with increasing n-3 PUFA intake in women who were overweight or obese but not in women of normal weight. There was a significant interaction between linoleic acid and marine n-3 PUFAs. Zinc can halt the growth of cancer cells, study reveals University of Texas Arlington,  July 22, 2022  Research out of the University of Texas at Arlington has found that zinc is integral in cancer prevention, particularly cancer of the esophagus. By the way, previous research had determined the importance of zinc and its protective effect for the esophagus; however, scientists were never sure exactly why this was so. Researchers out of the UTA College of Nursing and Health Innovation partnered with an experienced esophageal cancer researcher. Their efforts determined that zinc actually targets esophageal cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone. It seems that it works by impeding overactive calcium signaling in the cancer cells, which isn't a problem in normal cells. In this way, zinc inhibits cancer selectively, only in the cells that are exhibiting this behavior. Supplementation of just 15 mg of zinc daily has been found to improve T-cell functioning and increase the body's ability to fight infection, according University of Florida researchers.  Harm from blue light exposure increases with age, research suggests Oregon State University, July 27, 2022 The damaging effects of daily, lifelong exposure to the blue light emanating from phones, computers and household fixtures worsen as a person ages, new research by Oregon State University suggests. The study, published today in Aging, involved Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, an important model organism because of the cellular and developmental mechanisms it shares with other animals and humans. Jaga Giebultowicz, a researcher in the OSU College of Science who studies biological clocks, led a collaboration that examined the survival rate of flies kept in darkness and then moved at progressively older ages to an environment of constant blue light from light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. The darkness-to-light transitions occurred at the ages of two, 20, 40 and 60 days, and the study involved blue light's effect on the mitochondria of the flies' cells. “The novel aspect of this new study is showing that chronic exposure to blue light can impair energy-producing pathways even in cells that are not specialized in sensing light,” Giebultowicz said. “We determined that specific reactions in mitochondria were dramatically reduced by blue light, while other reactions were decreased by age independent of blue light. You can think of it as blue light exposure adding insult to injury in aging flies.” The scientists note that natural light is crucial for a person's circadian rhythm—the 24-hour cycle of physiological processes such as brain wave activity, hormone production and cell regeneration that are important factors in eating and sleeping patterns. But there is evidence suggesting that increased exposure to artificial light is a risk factor for sleep and circadian disorders, Giebultowicz said. And with the prevalent use of LED lighting and device displays, humans are subjected to increasing amounts of light in the blue spectrum since commonly used LEDs emit a high fraction of blue light. In the earlier research, flies subjected to daily cycles of 12 hours in light and 12 hours in darkness had shorter lives compared to flies kept in total darkness or those kept in light with the blue wavelengths filtered out. The flies exposed to blue light showed damage to their retinal cells and brain neurons and had impaired locomotion—the flies' ability to climb the walls of their enclosures, a common behavior, was diminished. Amla Extract May Boost Endotheial Function, Immune Response and More Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (India), July 18, 2022 Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has been observed in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and contributes to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The primary management of MetS involves lifestyle modifications and treatment of its individual components with drugs all of which have side effects. Thus, it would be of advantageous if natural products would be used as adjuncts or substitutes for conventional drugs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of standardized aqueous extract of fruits of amla (P. emblica) 250 mg and 500 mg twice daily on ED, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and lipid profile in subjects with MetS. Out of 65 screened subjects all 59 enrolled completed the study. Amla aqueous extract (PEE), 250 mg and 500 mg twice daily dosing, showed significant reduction in mean RI, measure of endothelial function, at 8 and 12 weeks compared to baseline and placebo. PEE 500 mg twice daily was significantly more efficacious than the 250 mg twice daily and placebo. No participant discontinued the study because of adverse events. Amla aqueous extract significantly improved endothelial function, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation and lipid profile at both dosages tested, but especially at 500 mg twice daily. Thus, this product may be used as an adjunct to conventional therapy (lifestyle modification and pharmacological intervention) in the management of metabolic syndrome. Histamine-producing gut bacteria can trigger chronic abdominal pain McMaster University and Queen's University (Ontario), July 27 ,2022 Researchers from McMaster University and Queen's University have discovered a gut bacterial “super-producer” of histamine that can cause pain flare-ups in some patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The culprit is what has now been named Klebsiella aerogenes, identified in up to 25 percent of gut microbiota samples from patients with IBS. Researchers examined stool microbiota samples from both Canadian and American patient cohorts. “We followed up these patients for several months and found high levels of stool histamine at the time when the patients reported severe pain, and low stool histamine when they were pain-free,” said senior author Premysl Bercik, professor of medicine of McMaster's School of Medicine. The McMaster-Queen's research team pinpointed the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes as the key histamine producer by studying germ-free mice colonized with gut microbiota from patients with IBS. They also colonized some mice with gut microbiota from healthy volunteers as a control group. The study found that the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes converts dietary histidine, an essential amino acid present in animal and plant protein, into histamine, a known mediator of pain. The bacterial histamine then activates the gut immune system through histamine-4 receptor, which draws immune mast cells into the intestines. These activated mast cells produce even more histamine and other pain-signaling mediators, triggering inflammation and pain. The study found that when the mice colonized with histamine producing bacteria were fed a diet low in fermentable carbohydrates, bacterial histamine production dramatically decreased. This was due to change in bacterial fermentation and acidity within the gut, which inhibited the bacterial enzyme responsible for histamine production. Bercik said that these results explain the beneficial effects of a low fermentable diet observed in patients with IBS. Eating more ultra-processed foods associated with increased risk of dementia Tianjin Medical University (China), July 27, 2022 People who eat the highest amounts of ultra-processed foods like soft drinks, chips and cookies may have a higher risk of developing dementia than those who eat the lowest amounts, according to a new study published in the online issue of Neurology. Researchers also found that replacing ultra-processed foods in a person's diet with unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a lower risk. The study does not prove that ultra-processed foods cause dementia. It only shows an association. Ultra-processed foods are high in added sugar, fat and salt, and low in protein and fiber. They include soft drinks, salty and sugary snacks, ice cream, sausage, deep-fried chicken, yogurt, canned baked beans and tomatoes, ketchup, mayonnaise, packaged guacamole and hummus, packaged breads and flavored cereals. For the study, researchers identified 72,083 people from the UK Biobank, a large database containing the health information of half a million people living in the United Kingdom. Participants were age 55 and older and did not have dementia at the start of the study. They were followed for an average of 10 years. By the end of the study, 518 people were diagnosed with dementia. Researchers determined how much ultra-processed food people ate by calculating the grams per day and comparing it to the grams per day of other foods to create a percentage of their daily diet. They then divided participants into four equal groups from lowest percentage consumption of ultra-processed foods to highest. After adjusting for age, gender, family history of dementia and heart disease and other factors that could affect risk of dementia, researchers found that for every 10% increase in daily intake of ultra-processed foods, people had a 25% higher risk of dementia. Researchers also used study data to estimate what would happen if a person substituted 10% of ultra-processed foods with unprocessed or minimally processed foods, like fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, milk and meat. They found that such a substitution was associated with a 19% lower risk of dementia. “Our results also show increasing unprocessed or minimally processed foods by only 50 grams a day, which is equivalent to half an apple, a serving of corn, or a bowl of bran cereal, and simultaneously decreasing ultra-processed foods by 50 grams a day, equivalent to a chocolate bar or a serving of fish sticks, is associated with 3% decreased risk of dementia,” said Li. “It's encouraging to know that small and manageable changes in diet may make a difference in a person's risk of dementia.”

Rob Ekno's award-winning broadcasting career came to a crashing halt at the effects of drugs and alcohol, and he became homeless and hopeless. Fortunately, Rob was able to fight off his demons long enough to begin his journey of sobriety on November 29, 1992. Not long after, Rob moved from the East Coast to Los Angeles. There his career was reignited when he became a national TV host--a career that lasted nearly 15 years. He also spent four seasons on the NBC sitcom Newsradio and had a role on Phil Hartman's last show. Rob's attempt to rekindle his dwindling relationship with God took an abrupt turn backwards after a brief, yet scary, encounter--an incident that led Rob to walk away from God for nearly a decade. However, following a miraculous meeting with his future wife, Rob began to experience a continual stream of "coincidental" circumstances, which ultimately led him to acknowledge that a "Master Architect" surely was at work in all these improbable synchronicities. Again refocused on God, Rob produced and hosted the spiritually based internet radio show In Your Face, heard weekdays for more than three years in nearly 100 countries. Rob also wrote his first book God, Bless America...Before It's Too Late. His testimony aired on The 700 Club, Hour of Power, and a host of other media outlets. Rob's incredible passion when sharing his life's stories has been enjoyed by audiences at live events for nearly three decades. After his marriage ended, Rob headed to Alaska to begin the next chapter in his life. He spent much of the next five years there and had incredible experiences while exploring ice caves, mushing with sled dogs, flying in helicopters and floatplanes, ziplining, and whale watching. Rob quickly gained vast knowledge of Alaska's ecosystem. In 2017, he put that wisdom to use as the cruise host on a private ship traveling throughout southeast Alaska, as well as the Columbia and Snake Rivers in Washington and Oregon. Rob created presentations giving guests an insider's look at the area's wildlife and places of interest. In October of 2018, Rob survived a devastating fall into an unsecured open hatch on the cruise ship. His left leg was severely injured. Receiving no medical help, Rob spent two hours lying with a towel and a belt wrapped around his leg. The impact from the fall also induced several other injuries, including Rob's arms, shoulders, and neck. As of this writing, nearly two years later, after multiple surgeries, visits to specialists, physical therapists, and more, Rob continues to receive treatment, and heal from his injuries.
