Your mind says you're safe, but your body still feels tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in danger mode. Why does this happen? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why mental and emotional healing doesn't always translate into physical healing. You'll learn how trauma gets “stuck” in your nervous system, why your body can keep sending danger signals even when your mind feels better, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to recover. Your nervous system works like a dashboard, constantly checking if you can handle what's happening or need to shut down. When it stays stuck in survival mode, even after therapy, it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. The good news is, you can help your body feel safe again and start to heal. In this episode, you'll find out more about: The difference between stress vs. trauma (and why it's not about the event itself!) Why your body creates a personal safety filter based on past experiences How inflammation, toxins, and hidden stressors send danger signals to your nervous system Why your body's natural healing shuts down when you're in survival mode Simple ways to track and shift your nervous system state every day Whether you're doing your own healing or supporting clients who still feel stuck physically despite mental progress, this episode reveals the missing piece of trauma recovery. You'll gain a clearer understanding of the body's signals and walk away with practical tools to help the body catch up with the mind.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Eugene Chang talks about the microbiome's role as a vital organ, the impacts of antibiotics and Western diets on microbial health, and strategies for restoring a damaged microbiome through diet and fecal microbial transplants. They delve into microbiome dysbiosis, its links to modern diseases, and Chang's research on personalized microbiome interventions.About the guest: Eugene Chang, MD is a physician-scientist and Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago, specializing in gastroenterology. His research focuses on the gut microbiome as a vital organ influencing metabolic and immune health.Discussion Points:The gut microbiome is a vital organ, acquired early in life, that supports metabolic and immune functions, but can be disrupted by antibiotics, leading to diseases like C. difficile colitis.Western diets, high in saturated fats and low in fiber, contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, linked to modern conditions like inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, and allergies.Microbiome health is better assessed by functional markers (e.g., short-chain fatty acid production) than taxonomic diversity, as diversity varies widely among healthy individuals.A patient with severe food intolerance due to antibiotic-induced microbiome damage was treated over 50 weeks with a tailored diet, restoring healthy microbiome function.Different dietary fibers (e.g., beans vs. seaweed) are metabolized at varying rates, affecting gut health; fermented foods like kefir can bypass digestion issues.Diet can rapidly reshape the microbiome within 24-48 hours, but severe dysbiosis may require microbial transplants if key microbes are extinct.Chang's research shows a high-fiber, low-fat diet outperforms fecal microbial transplants in restoring microbiome resilience in mice post-antibiotics.Future microbiome medicine may involve personalized “omni microbial transplants” targeting both small and large intestines for comprehensive restoration.Related episode:M&M 203: Metagenomics, Microbiome Transmission, Gut Microbiome in Health & Disease | Nicola Segata*Not medical advice.Support 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.

Loretta Breuning helps us understand biological human behaviourism in Episode 36✅ Humans are wired for hierarchies — not equality by default✅ Serotonin links status, mood, and cooperation✅ Early social experiences shape our long-term behavior✅ Challenging myths about early human societies matters✅ Emotions are biological strategies, not mysteries
In today's episode, we explore the groundbreaking intersection of addiction, biology, and cancer with internationally recognized scientist Dr. Rafael Cuomo. Drawing on insights from his book Crave, Dr. Cuomo reveals how addiction is not simply a behavioral or psychological issue—it's a biological condition that reshapes the terrain of our health and directly contributes to the development of chronic disease, including cancer. Dr. Cuomo introduces the concept of “molecular scars”—long-term physiological changes left behind by repeated addictive behaviors, even low-grade ones like screen use or ultra-processed food consumption. He explains how these behaviors disrupt key systems in the body, including the dopamine, opioid, GABA, glutamate, cortisol, and the endocannabinoid systems, ultimately weakening immune surveillance, fueling inflammation, and accelerating cellular damage. From the anticipatory nature of craving to the role of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, this episode invites clinicians, patients, and everyday listeners to reconsider addiction not as a character flaw, but as a biologically driven imbalance with profound public health implications.

Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They're left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won't heal. But why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed? In this episode, Dr. Aimie look at what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and explores what's really going on and why this matters so much for healing. Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body. You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain. You'll learn: [1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!) [5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma [11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless [16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response [21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity [26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze [30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain [34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.

What if your biggest problem… isn't actually a problem at all? In this enlightening conversation, Harmony and Russell welcome back longtime friend, acupuncturist, and author Dr. Jagdeep Johal. Together, they explore how unresolved threat—not personality flaws or psychological issues—drives our sense of suffering. Dr. Johal discusses his new book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, which reframes trauma, burnout, and stress through the lens of the nervous system. From the body's threat-response system to the illusions of the left brain, this episode offers a paradigm shift: healing isn't about fixing yourself—it's about remembering your capacity for ease. In this episode, you'll hear: - Why trauma isn't always a “big” event—it can be the accumulation of everyday stress - How the nervous system registers threat even when we're not consciously aware of it - The three phases every cell moves through: Threat, Motion, and Ease - Why the left brain constantly lies to us—and what happens when we quiet it - The “threat bucket” metaphor and how our bodies store unresolved tension - The difference between actual safety and perceived safety - How acupuncture, spinal energetics, and spontaneous movement restore ease - Why doing *nothing* might be the most healing thing of all - How Dr. Johal's long COVID experience shaped his understanding of illness and healing - What dogs, trees, and artists can teach us about true ease Guest Bio: Dr. Jagdeep Johal is an acupuncturist, teacher, and author who integrates Chinese medicine, somatic healing, and Buddhist philosophy. For over two decades, he's helped clients reconnect with the intelligence of the body and restore nervous system regulation. His latest book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, offers a refreshing, practical, and poetic exploration of trauma, healing, and selfhood. You can find him at www.drjagjohal.com.

It's time for a new narrative for the ocean, one that reflects current scientific knowledge and acknowledges innovative new partnerships and solutions that center the ocean in our future. In this program, Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University and with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being, talks about the two current dominant narratives for the ocean are anchored in the past. The older one considers the ocean to be so vast, bountiful, and resilient that it is simply too big to fail. This first narrative drives pollution and over-exploitation of resources. A second, more recent narrative is that the ocean is now so depleted, polluted, and disrupted, and the drivers of those outcomes are so powerful and complex, that the ocean is simply too big to fix. A third, new narrative is emerging, based on scientific findings, existing solutions, and innovative partnerships and policies. This new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just, and prosperous future. This new narrative tells us that the ocean is neither too big to fail, nor is it too big to fix. But it is too important and too central to our future to ignore.

It's time for a new narrative for the ocean, one that reflects current scientific knowledge and acknowledges innovative new partnerships and solutions that center the ocean in our future. In this program, Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University and with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being, talks about the two current dominant narratives for the ocean are anchored in the past. The older one considers the ocean to be so vast, bountiful, and resilient that it is simply too big to fail. This first narrative drives pollution and over-exploitation of resources. A second, more recent narrative is that the ocean is now so depleted, polluted, and disrupted, and the drivers of those outcomes are so powerful and complex, that the ocean is simply too big to fix. A third, new narrative is emerging, based on scientific findings, existing solutions, and innovative partnerships and policies. This new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just, and prosperous future. This new narrative tells us that the ocean is neither too big to fail, nor is it too big to fix. But it is too important and too central to our future to ignore.

The Bible tells us that we can see and understand "God's invisible attributes" through what He has created. And this is precisely what former atheist Michael Ray Lewis discovered as he spent three years examining the evidence for Christianity. One of the most impressive arguments he encountered during his time of searching was that of the fine tuning of the universe. Jesus eventually got hold of Michael and not long thereafter his wife encouraged him to make a documentary about the evidence he had uncovered for Christianity. Here on part two of our conversation with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, we'll hear the story of how the idea of the film, Universe Designed, became a reality.For more information about the film Universe Designed, visit the official website at https://www.UniverseDesigned.comResources from Watchman Fellowship: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Scientism by Dr. Luke Barnes and Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Scientism Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Carl Sagan's Cosmos by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/CosmosTV Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Naturalism by Daniel Ray: www.watchman.org/Naturalism Book: The Story of the Cosmos by Daniel Ray:www.watchman.org/CosmosBook FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

Send us a textThe genetics of sleep duration and sleep timing.Episode Summary: Dr. Ying-Hui Fu discusses her research on the genetics of sleep, focusing on natural short sleepers who thrive on 4-6 hours of sleep and the heritability of sleep traits like duration and timing. She explores how sleep efficiency, rather than just duration, may explain why some need less sleep without health deficits, and delves into the molecular and circadian mechanisms regulating sleep. About the guest: Ying-Hui Fu, PhD is a neuroscientist and professor at UCSF, where her lab studies the genetics of human sleep behaviors, particularly sleep duration and schedule.Discussion Points:Sleep Traits Are Genetic: Sleep duration (how long you sleep) and sleep schedule (when you sleep) are partially heritable, with most people needing 7-9 hours, while rare natural short sleepers thrive on 4-6 hours.Natural Short Sleepers: These individuals fall asleep quickly, have high sleep efficiency, and live healthy, active lives without deficits, possibly due to faster toxin clearance and repair during sleep.Sleep Efficiency Matters: Short sleepers may complete restorative sleep processes (e.g., clearing toxins, repairing damage) more efficiently, allowing them to need less sleep.Circadian & Entrainment Pathways: Sleep timing is regulated by a molecular clock and environmental cues like light, with mutations in entrainment pathways causing extreme schedules (e.g., early bedtime or night owl tendencies).Modern Lifestyle Harms Sleep: Stimuli like blue light and tense media disrupt sleep patterns, leading to widespread sleep deprivation and health risks.Shift Work Risks: Shift workers face higher risks of diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration due to disrupted sleep cycles, though genetic background influences susceptibility.Finding Your Sleep Rhythm: A two-week vacation without stimulants or artificial light can help determine your natural sleep schedule and duration.Sleep's Health Impact: Poor sleep is a major factor in aging and diseases like Alzheimer's, making it as critical as diet and exercise for health.Related episode:M&M 237: Circadian Biology: Genetics, Behavior, Metabolism, Light, OxygenSupport 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.

Have you or your clients ever felt exhausted, anxious, or even physically ill after a therapy session? Or wondered why emotional breakthroughs sometimes leave you feeling worse before you feel better? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie answers EDMR therapist Rebecca's question about why people sometimes get physical symptoms after making progress in therapy, and shares simple strategies to help prevent this from happening. She goes into the biology behind how your nervous system is constantly deciding whether you're safe or in danger, and why digging into painful memories or feelings can make your body think it's under attack, even when you're actually healing. You'll learn more about: Why your body thinks feeling emotions is dangerous How your "energy bank account" affects what you can handle in therapy Why you might feel sick AFTER therapy sessions How things like poor sleep and processed food make therapy harder on your body Why your nervous system is always checking if you're safe or in danger Two simple things you can do after therapy to feel better Want to learn more?

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt. Welcome to Liberty Bluff, a small frontier town where the plains meet the desert at the edge of Deadwind Gorge. Our unlikely heroes find themselves in this hub on the great trade road, where folks come seeking freedom, fortune, or a fresh start. The air tastes of industry and something fouler - the town's lifeblood flows from the booming arcanite mine to the north, producing rare gems, coal, and the mysterious mineral that powers their world. But all ain't well in Liberty Bluff. Drought withers the farms, strange tales drift in from the western deserts of mutated creatures and bizarre plagues, and bandits prey on the trade routes. Soldiers from a northern fort bustle about, building fortifications as if preparing for siege. In this powder keg of a frontier town, four strangers are about to find their fates intertwined.

Many people get stuck on their healing journey. They feel lost and confused. They've spent years in therapy, tried meditation, read all the books but still feel like they're just surviving instead of truly living. This is way more common than we would like to believe, and quite discouraging for those dealing with stress, burnout, or old emotional wounds. Even when you know you're safe, your body might still feel like it's in danger. That's because healing isn't just about mindset, it's about your nervous system. And most healing methods skip the steps your body actually needs to feel safe at the nervous system level. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains why one often gets stuck and what the nervous system really needs to move from overwhelm and a functional freeze into calm aliveness. You'll learn how the body experiences a trauma, why it holds on even for years after, and the step-by-step roadmap to give it what it needs to engage its own healing mechanisms. You'll learn more on: [1:46] Why many people avoid connecting with their body and stay “in their head” [4:05] How to tell if you're disconnected from your body [5:48] What happens in your body during a trauma response (and how it can get stuck) [8:48] Why just telling yourself “you're safe” doesn't make your body believe it [12:49] The hidden equation your nervous system uses to decide if you're still in danger [15:49] The surprising trait that can block healing [18:16] Common signs you're in shutdown mode [21:51] The 3 major roadblocks that can slow down healing [22:52] Why you need cycles of stress and rest to heal [27:36] The 3-phase healing roadmap [29:32] How emotional healing works just like physical healing—and why skipping steps keeps you stuck Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others, this episode gives you the missing piece to understand what's really going on in the body and how to finally move forward.

Drawing on Francis Fukuyama's “End of History & the Last Men” and historical perspectives, Cornish-Dale argues that biological and societal factors, including diet and hormonal interventions like birth control, are reshaping male and female behaviors, with profound implications for health and social structures.About the guest: Charles Cornish-Dale, PhD is a medieval historian and anthropologist with a PhD from Oxford. His new book is, “The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity.”Discussion Points:Thymos & Masculinity: Cornish-Dale uses the ancient Greek concept of thymos, meaning spiritedness, to explain male drives for recognition and distinction, which he ties to testosterone-driven behaviors.Testosterone Decline: Studies like the Massachusetts Male Aging Study show a ~20% drop in male testosterone levels over 17 years, correlating with reduced reproductive health and social withdrawal.Endocrine Disruptors: Chemicals in plastics, pesticides, and soy products mimic estrogen, disrupting hormonal balance and potentially causing developmental and behavioral issues.Diet & Behavior: Historical shifts to grain-based diets, as noted by Plato, and modern plant-based trends may suppress thymos and alter hormonal profiles, impacting societal dynamics.Hormonal Contraceptives: Birth control can thin the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in women, affecting emotional regulation, especially if taken during teenage years, with potential permanent effects.Fukuyama's End of History Framework: Cornish-Dale critiques liberal democracy's inability to satisfy megalothymia (the desire to be better), contributing to a crisis of purpose for men.Related episode:M&M 193: History of Diet & Food, Population Density & Social Stability, Psychological Pandemics, Physical & Mental Health in Civilizational CyclesSupport 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.
