In this soul-stirring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik dives deep with Jasmina Sabi, author of Am I Thinking Correct?, into the raw terrain of heartbreak, emotional reprogramming, and spiritual clarity. Jasmina shares how a traumatic betrayal shattered her perception of love, leading her to question everything—her emotions, brain chemistry, and belief systems. Her journey weaves through epigenetics, biochemistry, and consciousness, offering listeners a powerful reframing of healing and human experience. This is a conversation for anyone questioning their reality and searching for grounded inner truth. About the Guest:Jasmina Sabi is a writer, speaker, and truth-seeker whose journey through betrayal, loss, and self-inquiry led her to explore the science of biochemistry and the soul's capacity for healing. Her book Am I Thinking Correct? explores how our thoughts, trauma, and spiritual disconnection shape our experience. Jasmina offers an unfiltered, deeply personal lens into the process of self-awareness and emotional evolution. Key Takeaways: Heartbreak can be a gateway to deep emotional and biochemical insight. The body's biochemistry, especially the brain's “drugs,” plays a major role in our emotional responses. Healing requires questioning not only our pain, but also what we've been taught to normalize. Identity labels (religion, status) can limit healing by narrowing perspective. True transformation comes from understanding the brain, body, and spirit as an integrated whole.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Amy joins host Jill to delve into the intricate relationship between trauma, the body, and healing. They explore the concept of creating a safe environment for healing, the importance of understanding trauma at a biological level, and practical approaches to managing trauma. Key Discussions ① Introduction to Trauma and Healing:

National security concerns have been the invisible hand guiding governance throughout recorded history. In the 20th century, it was defined by a country versus country dynamic: whichever nation was the strongest and most strategic was also the safest. But today, our biggest national security threats don't come from opposing nations – they are “actorless threats” that emerge from the breakdown of the complex systems we all depend on – from the stability of our planetary systems to our intricately complex and fragile global supply chains. In this unprecedented landscape, what is required of us in order to keep our citizens safe?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Rod Schoonover, an expert at the intersection of Earth systems stress and national security, where they discuss the need for the evolution of national defense to address the systemic (and diffuse) threats of the 21st century. Rod emphasizes the need for a reformed security sector that addresses contemporary challenges, like global heating that leads to extreme climatic events, urging immediate action to mitigate risks and enhance stability. Importantly, they also delve into the need for political leadership to embrace complexity and local resilience when tackling these pressing issues. How do we unite against ‘actorless' threats, even when we don't have someone to blame for their damages? Where have leadership and governance already begun to adapt to address these existential concerns, and where are we seeing failures? Finally, how could incorporating more cooperative principles at every level of society transform our ability to bend – not break – under the weight of our human predicament?  (Conversation recorded on May 6th, 2025)   About Rod Schoonover: Rod Schoonover is the CEO and Founder of the Ecological Futures Group, Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, Senior Associate Fellow at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), and Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.  Rod served a decade in the U.S. intelligence community as the Director of Environment and Natural Resources at the National Intelligence Council in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and as Senior Scientist and Senior Analyst in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. Before joining the government as a AAAS Diplomacy Fellow in 2009, Rod was a tenured Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Dr. Schoonover earned his PhD in theoretical chemical physics at the University of Michigan, where he studied complex systems.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Dry Eyes No More: The Revolutionary Drink Saving Your Vision Theeyedrink.com About the Guest(s): Dr. Roger Wu - Dr. Wu is an experienced optometrist who has been in private practice for over 25 years. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Rutgers University and obtained his Doctorate in Optometry from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry. Leveraging his extensive experience in eye care and his passion for innovation, Dr. Wu has co-founded 20/20 Incorporated, dealing with eye health beverages. Jorge Olson - Olson is a beverage industry expert with over 20 years of experience. He has launched a plethora of beverages and has been instrumental in taking five companies public, raising over $100 million. He is the author of several business and marketing books, including "Build Your Beverage Empire." Olson serves as the CMO of 20/20 Incorporated, bringing his expertise to the forefront of eye-health functional beverages. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris dives into a fascinating discussion with Dr. Roger Wu and Jorge Olson about the new venture by 20/20 Incorporated. The company has introduced a breakthrough product, the Eye Drink, a functional beverage scientifically formulated to address eye health for digital device users. This episode brings to light the burgeoning issue of digital eye strain affecting millions globally, and how this pioneering beverage proposes a convenient solution. Dr. Wu and Jorge Olson delve into a detailed conversation about the formulation and benefits of the Eye Drink, which targets dry eyes and macular health. The rise in digital device usage has led to an increase in eye-related issues, impacting individuals even at a younger age. The Eye Drink, backed by scientific research and designed to maintain eye health, becomes particularly relevant in this digital age. From insightful case studies to discussing the societal implications of prolonged screen usage, the guests provide listeners with in-depth knowledge and practical solutions to better eye health. Key Takeaways: The Eye Drink by 20/20 Incorporated is the world's first ready-to-drink functional beverage created specifically to aid in eye health for digital device users. Digital device usage has been linked to an increase in eye-related issues such as dry eyes and macular degeneration, affecting even younger populations. The beverage is based on the AREDS2 formulation, incorporating essential nutrients and Omega-3 to combat screen-induced eye problems. Both over-the-counter eye drops and prescription medications have limited efficacy, while the Eye Drink offers a convenient and scientifically-backed solution. Jorge Olson and Dr. Wu stress the importance of reducing screen time and investing in blue light filtering lenses to protect eye health further. Notable Quotes: "We know the cause of digital eye strain and are focused on developing an effective, scientifically-based solution." - Dr. Roger Wu "One bottle a day can help maintain your eye health if you spend two hours or more daily on a screen." - Jorge Olson "It's not just about solving a health problem; it's about addressing a massive social issue created by technology." - Jorge Olson "Our formulation is based on the large international study AREDS2 to ensure efficacy and support macular health." - Dr. Roger Wu "The Eye Drink is made to solve a societal problem, and our go-to-market strategy includes both wholesale distribution and direct from doctors' offices." - Jorge Olson Resources: Visit the Eye Drink website for more details and orders: theidrink.com Explore Jorge Olson's books such as "Build Your Beverage Empire".

Send us a textEpisode Summary: New research on how dietary fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid, influence triple-negative breast cancer progression by activating the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of cell growth; role of the FABP5 protein in enhancing cancer cells' sensitivity to omega-6 fats; differences between breast cancer subtypes; broader implications of dietary balance for health.About the guest: John Blenis, PhD is a Professor of Pharmacology at the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. Nikos Koundouros, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in Blenis' lab.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key  Points:mTOR pathway acts as a cellular “brain,” sensing nutrients like amino acids, glucose, and fats to regulate growth. Its dysregulation can drive cancer.High dietary omega-6 fatty acids, like linoleic acid found in seed oils, can fuel triple-negative breast cancer growth by activating mTOR.FABP5, a lipid chaperone protein, is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer, making these tumors more sensitive to omega-6 fats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.Modern diets with high omega-6 to omega-3 ratios disrupt inflammation balance, unlike historical 1:1 ratios, potentially increasing cancer risk.Genetic variations and cancer subtypes highlight the need for tailored dietary recommendations, as blanket nutrition advice may not suit all patients.While omega-6 fats exacerbate existing triple-negative breast cancer, their role in initiating cancer remains unclear, requiring further study.High omega-6 intake may influence other cancers (e.g., prostate, colon) and chronic diseases like obesity, linked to FABP5 and inflammation.Related episode:M&M 200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon Cancer & Chronic Disease | Tim Yeatman & GaneSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

* Time for Change: Dr. Change Tan received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Organic Chemistry from Nankai University in Tianjin, China, and she also studied as a postdoctoral fellow for the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. Tan served as associate professor in the Division of Biological Studies at the University of Missouri before working as a founder and investigator at the Forest of Life Research and Education Center. Dr. Tan's interests include origin of life and biodiversity, the relationship of organisms, molecular biotechnology method development, reproduction and signal transduction. Tan has written nearly 30 refereed journal articles, including several for the “Answers Research Journal,” and is the co-author, along with Rob Stadler of an eye opening book “The Stairway to Life: An Origin-of-Life Reality Check”, in which the authors specify requirements for the spontaneous formation of life and evaluate the prospects for natural processes to satisfy these requirements. * Prokaryotes Can't Change: at least not into Eukaryotes! No matter how the evolutionists try to spin it!

In this compelling episode, Dr. Vera Tarman interviews Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a pioneer in the field of cancer metabolism. Dr. Seyfried challenges the mainstream view of cancer as a genetic disease and presents strong evidence that cancer is fundamentally a mitochondrial metabolic disorder. Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried is a distinguished American biologist and professor at Boston College, renowned for his pioneering work in cancer metabolism. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, and postdoctoral training in neurochemistry at Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Seyfried has dedicated his career to exploring the metabolic underpinnings of cancer and other neurological diseases. Dr. Seyfried is best known for his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (2012), where he presents compelling evidence that cancer is primarily a mitochondrial metabolic disorder rather than a genetic one. This perspective builds upon the early 20th-century findings of Otto Warburg, who observed that cancer cells rely heavily on fermentation for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen—a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Dr. Seyfried's research suggests that targeting cancer's metabolic dependencies, such as glucose and glutamine, through dietary interventions like the ketogenic diet, could offer non-toxic therapeutic strategies. We explore: How cancer cells fuel themselves differently from healthy cells The connection between sugar, ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and cancer growth The Warburg Effect and the roles of glucose and glutamine in tumor development Whether refined sugar is carcinogenic like tobacco Why Dr. Seyfried believes ketogenic diets and caloric restriction can be powerful cancer therapies How his views align with metabolic psychiatry (Dr. Chris Palmer's Brain Energy) The controversial yet promising approach of "press-pulse" therapy The potential for preventing cancer through dietary change Follow: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html https://tomseyfried.com The content of our show is educational only.
