Podcasts about Body mass index

Zwischen DDR-Müll, Amtsphantasien & der beruhigenden Erkenntnis, dass der nördliche Sternenhimmel manchmal für ein paar Euro zu haben ist. Diese Folge beginnt, wie gute Kernsanierung eben beginnt: Nicht mit Überblick. Nicht mit einem Plan. Und ganz sicher nicht mit einer belastbaren Finanzierungsstrategie. Sondern mit einem Irrläufer. Oder mehreren. Antje und Jens gehen rein. Zwischen die Häuser. Zwischen den Müll. Zwischen das, was da eben so lagert, wenn ein Haus nicht einfach nur Haus ist, sondern über Jahrzehnte hinweg auch Archiv, Ablage, Zwischenwelt und möglicherweise Endlager für Matratzen, Flaschen und russische Geschichtsbücher war. Noch aus DDR-Zeiten. Noch ziemlich da. Noch nicht Gold. Denn leider entdeckt Jens auch diesmal nicht den lange erhofften Schatz, der den beiden finanziell den Allerwertesten retten würde. Stattdessen: Schutt. Staub. Spuren. Und die leise Frage, ob dieses Haus vielleicht schon 1797 als Messy-Haus geplant und gebaut wurde. Antje findet: Dafür spricht einiges. Vor allem die besondere Statik. Dann lernen wir etwas, das in keiner Bauakte steht, aber vermutlich dringend dokumentiert werden müsste: den berühmten Jenser Vorschluck. Was das ist? Warum das passiert? Ob Jens damit zum Arzt muss? Ob es vielleicht etwas Ernstes ist? Hört Ihr in der Folge. Wir können an dieser Stelle nur sagen: Es wird körperlich. Es wird rätselhaft. Es wird sehr Kernsanierung. Außerdem gibt es Neues aus'm Amt. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Totalabgang der beiden ist nämlich ein behördlicher Irrläufer aufgetaucht. Und weil man in diesem Podcast aus einem Verwaltungsvorgang grundsätzlich auch eine Weltverschwörung bauen kann, fragt Jens sich irgendwann, ob es das Statistische Amt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern überhaupt gibt. Also wirklich. Existiert es? Oder ist es nur eine Idee? Eine Projektionsfläche? Ein bürokratisches Hologramm mit Briefkopf? Die beiden entwickeln daraufhin eine neue Verschwörungstheorie, die wiederum Antje gedanklich direkt zu ihrem neuen Buch führt, das Jens ihr geschenkt hat: „Witches, Bitches, It-Girls“ von Rebekka Endler. Darin geht es unter anderem um die Erfindung des BMI. Und dessen Ursprung liegt, wie sich herausstellt, eigentlich in den Sternen. Ja. Richtig gelesen. Von DDR-Müll über Behördenpost zum Body-Mass-Index und dann direkt ins Universum. Kernsanierung eben. Die angekündigten Hiobsbotschaften werden übrigens noch einmal verschoben. Das ist natürlich kein Ausweichen. Das ist Dramaturgie. Ein ordentlicher Spannungsbogen muss schließlich auch mal gepflegt werden. Dafür gibt es kleine, frische Einblicke in den bisherigen Paartherapieverlauf. Antje ist dabei ganz ruhig in ihrer Rechthaberei, weil sie tief in sich weiß, dass es so ist. Sie. Hat. Recht. Also natürlich nicht immer. Also vielleicht. Also schon. Aber liebevoll. Und dann ist da plötzlich auch Stolz. Antje ist stolz auf Jens. Jens ist stolz auf Antje. Und irgendwo zwischen Baustelle, Beziehung und Bauakte flackert kurz etwas auf, das man Hoffnung nennen könnte. Oder zumindest: therapeutisch betreute Ko-Regulation mit Schuttanteil. Gedankensprung. Es geht direkt weiter mit dem Kunstkaufverbot. Das hält ungefähr so lange, wie Kunstkaufverbote eben halten, wenn irgendwo ein toller Flohmarkt in Greifswald stattfindet. Also: nicht besonders lange. Antje und Jens haben zugeschlagen. Und sich einfach mal für ein paar Euro den nördlichen Sternenhimmel gekauft. Den ganzen nördlichen Sternenhimmel. Schnapper. Geil. Zum krönenden Abschluss gibt es dann noch ein kleines Konzert. Aber Achtung: Triggerwarnung. Es ist ohrenbetäubend. Nichts für Menschen mit empfindlichen Ohren, Hörgeräten, Tinnitus oder einer grundsätzlich friedlichen Beziehung zur Akustik. Und dann gibt es noch ein paar Outtakes. Und dann… in der nächsten Folge… dann aber wirklich… endlich… die Hiobsbotschaften. Vielleicht.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Nixdorff, Internist, Kardiologe, Sportmediziner und Gründer des European Prevention Center (EPC) in Düsseldorf, über die Todesursache Nummer 1 in Europa: Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Allein in Deutschland sterben jedes Jahr rund 345.000 Menschen am Herzinfarkt, und 60 bis 80 Prozent davon, bevor sie überhaupt im Krankenhaus ankommen. Gleichzeitig zeigen große Studien wie die Inter Heart Trial, dass sich rund 80 Prozent dieser Infarkte vermeiden ließen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum das klassische Belastungs-EKG für die Früherkennung längst nicht mehr ausreicht, was es mit der gefährlichen vulnerablen Plaque auf sich hat und warum nur moderne Bildgebung sie sichtbar macht. Prof. Nixdorff erklärt seinen evidenzbasierten Algorithmus, von der sorgfältigen Risikofaktoren-Anamnese über Pulswellenanalyse, Funduskopie und Age-Scan bis zum Herz-CT, das seit Kurzem auch von der Kasse für die Früherkennung anerkannt ist. Wir sprechen über Blutdruck-Zielwerte, die drei Säulen Bewegung, Ernährung und Entspannung, sinnvolle Wearables wie Continuous Glucose Monitoring und über die Frage, warum Selbstverantwortung in der Prävention so entscheidend ist. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Warum die Letalität bei Herzinfarkt zurückgeht, die Morbidität aber steigt, und was das für den Healthspan bedeutet? - Was ist eine vulnerable Plaque, warum ist sie so tückisch und weshalb erkennt sie ein klassisches Belastungs-EKG nicht? - Wie sich die Pathophysiologie eines Herzinfarkts in zwei Minuten verstehen lässt, von Noxen über LDL-Oxidation bis zur Ruptur der Deckplatte? - Warum rund 80 Prozent der Herzinfarkte vermeidbar wären und was das für unser Gesundheitssystem bedeuten würde? - Welche Risikofaktoren laut Framingham und Inter Heart Trial wirklich zählen und welche Rolle psychosozialer Stress dabei spielt? - Warum der Body Mass Index nicht ideal ist und der Taillenumfang die deutlich aussagekräftigere Messgröße darstellt? - Was Pulswellenanalyse, Augmentationsindex und Pulswellengeschwindigkeit über die Arteriensteifigkeit verraten und welche dieser Werte reversibel sind? - Wie der Age-Scan über die Maillard-Reaktion sichtbar macht, was die Verzuckerung von Proteinen mit Atherosklerose zu tun hat? - Weshalb der Augenhintergrund einen arteriellen Hypertonus oft schon ein bis zwei Jahre vor der Manifestation anzeigt? - Wie sich Calcium-Scoring und kontrastmittelgestütztes Herz-CT unterscheiden und warum Letzteres den diagnostischen Herzkatheter weitgehend ersetzen kann? - Warum Stentimplantationen im stabilen Fall laut Studien wie ISCHEMIA und ORBITA prognostisch oft keinen Vorteil bringen? - Welche drei Lebensstil-Säulen die kardiologische Prävention tragen und welche Rolle Wearables wie CGM und Aura Ring dabei spielen?

This week, we conclude our 4-part series on Strokes, the #4 cause of death in America.  In this episode, you'll discover:—How the number one thing we can do to prevent Strokes is to not smoke cigarettes.  And the dangers of Vaping which Dr. Prather says "can actually be worse" because of the Heavy Metals that are being inhaled. —Why Dr. Prather says it is "a testament against our government" that  only 2% of a cigarette is required to be composed of tobacco, with the rest being cardboard soaked in addictive chemicals. —The Acupuncture, Auriculotherapy, and Homeopathy treatments offered at Holistic Integration that are incredibly effective in helping people to overcome cigarette and other addictions. —How birth control pills are the leading cause of younger women to have a Stroke because they reduce Copper levels in the body, which leads to a weakening of the arteries.   Plus, the dangers of legal pharmaceutical amphetamines like Ritalin, which are "basically cocaine".—How the ECP (External CounterPulsation) Therapy at Holistic Integration prevents Cardiovascular Disease, will reverse Cardiovascular Disease, and even reverses Stroke effects by duplicating 5 years of marathon training for the heart in just 7 weeks. —The role obesity plays in increasing the risk of a Stroke.  And the Body Composition Analysis at Holistic Integration that measures your Body Fat Percentage more accurate,y than the Body Mass Index measurement. —Why TIA events should be taken seriously because they will make you 10 times more likely to have a Stroke within the next year.  And why Dr. Prather says you need to react to a TIA as if you have had a Stroke. —The amazing amount of information you get from the Autonomic Nervous System ANS Test that is given to every new patient at Holistic Integration and helps Dr. Prather really know if a patient is in trouble. —Why your Cholesterol ratio matters more than just your overall Total Cholesterol number.  And how Cholesterol is actually an antioxidant there to protect you from Free Radical damage.—The importance of proper Chiropractic Care in Stroke Prevention, particularly the Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment.  And why Dr. Prather says you are not going to correct Hypertension caused by a Vagal Nerve issue unless you correct the Atlas first. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

On this episode of the Hays Post Podcast, Becky Kiser, news reporter, talks with Jessica Phelan, assistant professor in the Fort Hays State University Department of Health and Human Performance.  The topic is BMI, or Body Mass Index, and a look at original research about body composition that's been performed by Phelan's students and those in the department of psychology.     Listen Here

The ACOG 2025 guideline specifically recommends either oral or vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening; it does not include buccal administration among its endorsed routes. With the rising rates of both obesity and labor induction, understanding the optimal agents for induction in obese patients is crucial. In a new study released ahead of print on March 4, 2026, in the AJOG, investigators from Indianapolis released findings from a secondary analysis of the IMPROVE trial (2019, AJOG) looking at the effect of obesity on buccal vs vaginal doses of misoprostol for cervical ripening.

Welcome to the WHOOP Research Series, where we breakdown into the extensive, scientific research conducted by the WHOOP Performance Science team. On this week's episode, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with WHOOP Senior Research Scientist Dr. Greg Grosicki to unpack the latest WHOOP Research Study on Heart Rate Variability Coefficient of Variation or HRV-CV. Using data from 21,000+ WHOOP members and 2 million nights of sleep, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki reveal why day-to-day stability in your HRV may matter more than the number itself. HRV-CV proves to outperform traditional metrics in detecting the real impact of alcohol, sleep consistency, and metabolic health, making it a great measure of healthspan. By looking deeper into the study, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki explains how HRV-CV can help you program your training smarter, improve your healthspan and build autonomic resilience. This episode unpacks how measuring HRV-CV isn't just about performance, but risk stratification and understanding your physiology over-time, not just day-to-day. (01:11) Intro To The Study: Why Is HRV-CV Important? (04:09) HRV-CV and Risk Stratification(08:28) Definition of HRV-CV(11:40) What HRV-CV Indicates in Athlete Recovery(14:26) Breaking Down The WHOOP Study(17:13) HRV-CV Trends in Shift Workers(21:21) Why Is HRV-CV an Important Biomarker?(25:18) HRV-CV Trends in Individuals on GLP-1 Medications(26:29) The Weather vs. The Climate: HRV vs. HRV-CV(33:41) The Results: Breaking Down the Data(36:37) How HRV-CV Responds to Certain Behaviors(39:38) Trends Between HRV-CV Between Age, Biological Sex, and Body Mass Index(49:54) How To Improve HRV-CV(56:39) New Research Roles and Opportunities at WHOOPReferences:American Journal of Physiology PublicationHRV-CV: The Key Metric for Lifestyle Consistency and StabilitySupport the showFollow WHOOP: Sign up for WHOOP Advanced Labs Trial WHOOP for Free www.whoop.com Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

BMI, or body mass index, has long been used as a simple calculation to determine if someone is underweight, a ‘healthy' weight or obese.But when it was devised by a Belgian mathematician almost 200 years ago, it was never supposed to be a tool to measure health.Now, researchers are challenging the way obesity is defined and diagnosed. Today, a look at the new approach and why there's a global push away from BMI.First published 10 February, 2025Featured: Willow Moscarda, Perth studentDr Louise Bauer, Professor of child and adolescent health, University of Sydney

The ACOG acknowledges that maternal obesity affects labor curves and recommends allowing more time for cervical dilation before diagnosing labor arrest in obese patients. This approach aims to avoid unnecessary interventions, such as premature cesarean delivery, which may occur if standard labor curves are strictly applied to obese women. In this episode, we will review a new study from the AJOG (08 Nov 2025) which describes labor progression and duration according to maternal body mass index, validating the need (possibly) for a BMI -based labor curve. Has there been advocates of a BMI-based labor curve? Listen in for details.1. Edwards, Sara et al. Characterizing Labor Progression and Duration According to Maternal Body Mass Index.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the critical health impacts of visceral fat, which is the hidden fat around the organs, and its role in accelerating heart aging. Drawing from recent research conducted by the Medical Research Council and published in the European Heart Journal, she explains how visceral fat differs from subcutaneous fat and its association with inflammation, heart diseases, and premature aging. The episode also highlights the importance of exercise, diet, particularly low-carb intake, and hormone replacement therapy in managing visceral fat and reducing health risks. Leyla also shares practical dietary advice and underscores the significance of focusing on fat distribution over total body weight for better health outcomes.

In der Türkei werden Menschen auf offener Straße auf die Waage gebeten. Die Aktion des Gesundheitsministeriums soll dabei helfen, Übergewicht in der Bevölkerung zu bekämpfen. Liegt der Body-Mass-Index über einem bestimmten Wert, wird nämlich automatisch eine kostenlose Ernährungsberatung angeboten. Ob ähnliche Maßnahmen auch in Deutschland – etwa unter Kanzler Merz oder Schattenkanzler Söder – denkbar wären?

In this powerful episode of Her Best SELF podcast, we dismantle the widely misused BMI scale and reveal why this outdated measurement has no place in your recovery journey. Learn the problematic origins of BMI, the scientific evidence against its validity, and discover more meaningful ways to understand health and healing while navigating eating disorder recovery. What You'll Learn: The surprising origin story of BMI (it wasn't created by health professionals!) Scientific studies proving BMI is an inaccurate measure of individual health Why BMI disproportionately harms certain populations and body types Better alternatives for understanding your body's health during recovery Practical tips for responding when healthcare providers focus on BMI How releasing attachment to numbers supports lasting recovery Research Mentioned: International Journal of Obesity study on metabolic health markers Journal of the American Medical Association research on BMI and mortality rates University of Pennsylvania research on ethnic differences in body composition Quotes from the Episode: "Your body is not a math problem to be solved. Your worth is not determined by where you fall on a chart created for 19th-century population statistics." "True health is about how your body functions, not how you measure against an arbitrary mathematical formula." Recovery Action Step: The next time someone tries to reduce your health to a BMI number, remember the science backing why this measurement is fundamentally flawed. Practice responding with confidence about your commitment to more meaningful health markers in your recovery.

Michael chats with Antoine Robiliard, leader of Withings Health Solutions, the B2B division of Withings. Together, they discuss recent analysis and findings related to body mass index (BMI), how body composition is being used in obesity care today, how obesity care will evolve, the role of connected devices in the obesity care space, and much more.

Dark ideas and stigma around different body sizes really took hold in the Enlightenment.Very unenlightened, if you ask us.This started all sorts of awful movements, and one result was BMI - or Body Mass Index - which is still used as a measure of health by doctors today.What even is the BMI? Why are women and people of colour particularly affected by these harmful ideas? And what's the future of fatphobia and BMI?Joining Kate is the fantastic Amy Farrell, professor of women's, gender and sexuality studies at Dickinson College and author of Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture, to take us back to the dark origins of BMI and fatphobia.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Sarah Cox was told by her doctor to lose weight because her BMI, or Body Mass Index, was too high. But the consequences of her doctor's weight loss plan left the 35-year-old sick and hospitalised, as she battled an eating disorder for two-and-a-half years. Now, there is renewed scrutiny of the use of B-M-I as a measure of an individual's health. The tool has been used by doctors for more than 50 years to measure an individual's body fat, after it was first created in the 1830s by a Belgian mathematician [[Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet]] who was not a doctor or a health practitioner. More evidence has since emerged about its efficacy - and a group of experts from around the globe are proposing new definitions of obesity that consider a spectrum for how excess fat may or may not impact an individual's health. In this episode of Weekend One on One Catriona Stirrat speaks to Sarah Cox about how her doctor's reliance on BMI led to the frightening deterioration of her mental and physical health - and the changes she is calling for when it comes to improving health care for people with larger bodies. - سارہ کاکس کو ان کے ڈاکٹر نے وزن کم کرنے کے لیے کہا تھا کیونکہ ان کا بی ایم آئی، یا باڈی ماس انڈیکس بہت زیادہ تھا۔ لیکن ان کے ڈاکٹر کے وزن میں کمی کے منصوبے کے نتیجے میں 35 سالہ سارہ نہ صرف بیمار ہوگئیں بلکہ اس پلان نے انہیں ہسپتال کے بستر تک پہنچا دیا۔ ، کیونکہ وہ ڈھائی سال تک کھانوں سے لڑتی رہیں۔ اب، کسی فرد کی صحت کی پیمائش کے طور پر B-M-I کے استعمال کی نئے سرے سے جانچ پڑتال کی جا رہی ہے۔ اس پیمانے کو کو ڈاکٹر 50 سال سے زیادہ عرصے سے کسی فرد کے جسم کی چربی کی پیمائش کرنے کے لیے استعمال کر رہے ہیں۔

Felicity Jones has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA for her role in The Brutalist, in which she plays Erzsébet, a Hungarian journalist who emigrates to the US in the late 1950s to join her architect husband. She joins Anita Rani to discuss her portrayal of this complex character and the other memorable roles she's taken on, from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Jane Wilde Hawking.A new report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders highlights what they are calling ‘widespread neglect' in services across the UK. They have found that patients in some areas have been discharged with a Body Mass Index of lower than 15 - which is associated with substantially increased mortality. To discuss the findings of the report Anita is joined by the Chair of the APPG, Vera Hobhouse MP and Hope Virgo, Secretariat of the APPG and campaigner, who has recovered fully from an eating disorder herself.More people in their late 20s are still living with their parents – it's up by more than a third in nearly two decades according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Men are also more likely than women to stay in the family home, with 23% of 25-34 year old men living with their parents compared to 15% of women the same age. We speak to mum of four and counsellor Lucy Cavendish who has three adult children living at home, and Associate Professor and family therapist Dr Hannah Sherbersky.

First Ben and Celestia discuss the LA fires (and a few of the many, many conspiracy theories already cropping up), and remember Jimmy Carter's clear-headed skepticism and humanitarianism. Then, since it's January and we're all trying to work on self-improvement, we talk about BMI -- which happens to be in the news this week for what turns out to be not really news. The Body Mass Index began almost two hundred years ago as a pet project by a Belgian statistician, but has evolved into one of the most accessible health metrics around. The average American can assess their BMI at home, for free, with the only inconvenience being having to use the metric system. Many of the criticisms of BMI as a tool are what Ben categorizes as straw man attacks, and he explains how doctors and public health officials use the metric. Along the way, we see many parallels with how people fail to think skeptically (or understand how metrics work) and end up losing faith in medical science on a greater scale.

Sarah Cox was told by her doctor to lose weight because her BMI, or Body Mass Index, was too high. But the consequences of her doctor's weight loss plan left the 35-year-old sick and hospitalised, as she battled an eating disorder for two-and-a-half years. Now, there is renewed scrutiny of the use of B-M-I as a measure of an individual's health. The tool has been used by doctors for more than 50 years to measure an individual's body fat, after it was first created in the 1830s by a Belgian mathematician [[Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet]] who was not a doctor or a health practitioner. More evidence has since emerged about its efficacy - and a group of experts from around the globe are proposing new definitions of obesity that consider a spectrum for how excess fat may or may not impact an individual's health. In this episode of Weekend One on One Catriona Stirrat speaks to Sarah Cox about how her doctor's reliance on BMI led to the frightening deterioration of her mental and physical health - and the changes she is calling for when it comes to improving health care for people with larger bodies.

Um wie viel die Löhne steigen ist Verhandlungssache von Unternehmen und Angestellten. Bei der Post konnten sich die beiden Seiten nicht einigen. Für die Gewerkschaften ein Armutszeugnis, für die Post hingegen Teil des üblichen Prozesses. Wie weiter?

If you're not sure where to focus your health efforts, or you think you know the best way to address your primary concern, tune in! Have you heard about the Eight Domains of Health? Which three areas should you prioritize to make the most significant impact on your health journey? How can you tell if the changes you're making are truly working?In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn dives deep into the Eight Domains of Health, unraveling the layers of wellness that go beyond simple diet and exercise. She covers the essential systems that contribute to lasting wellness, from the intricacies of digestion as a whole-body experience to the often-overlooked role of detoxification, hormone balance, and cardiovascular health. Jenn also explains the importance of body composition, cognitive health, and the crucial need for quality sleep to create a foundation for healthy aging. Whether you're looking to prioritize these domains or are wondering if your efforts are paying off, Jenn provides practical insights and tips for creating a balanced health journey. She also highlights the three key domains to focus on as you begin your wellness journey. OH! And don't miss next week's episode on epigenetic testing, where she'll discuss how to determine your biological age!The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [02:38] Exploring the 8 Domains of Health[07:32]  Digestion - the whole body experience[12:16] Toxins need to go[19:39] Endocrine System: what are our hormones up to[25:07] Weight and body composition: is BMI BS[30:34] Fitness: how it helps determine longevity[35:53] Cardiovascular health: it's plumbing, electrical, circulation and oxygenation throughout the body[40:29] Cognitive Function - Let's think about it[43:06] Sleep - Don't underestimate it. Stress disrupts all eight domains of health[47:08] How should you tackle this pyramid of “Domains” [1:00:45] Right before Thanksgiving, Nutrition Nugget will be all about giving and gratitudeKEY TAKEAWAYS: Digestion is a full-body process, from your mouth to your intestines. Symptoms like bloating or indigestion reflect how well your digestive system is functioning. Lifestyle choices, including diet, affect digestion and gut health. A balanced system requires attention to all aspects of digestion.Health should be measured by body composition and muscle strength, not BMI. Lean muscle and balanced fat are better indicators of health. Nutrition, blood sugar balance, sleep, stress management, and fitness support a healthy body composition and overall wellness.Muscle mass and fitness are critical for longevity, supporting joint health, balance, and resilience. Strength training reduces joint strain and boosts cardiovascular and brain health. A well-rounded fitness routine, including strength, aerobic, and balance exercises, is essential for health and independence as we age.Sleep is essential for overall health, serving as the "ultimate biohack" for body and mind. Quality sleep supports detoxification, recovery, hormone balance, cognitive function, and more. Prioritizing sleep can lead to noticeable improvements across multiple areas of health, reinforcing its critical role in wellness.QUOTES: [10:14] “Christine and I have a mentor who says the road to health is paved with good intestines. Your GI tract is your immune system, nutrient absorption, and gut-brain connection.” Jenn Trepeck [12:44] “You can't age well if you can't detox well.” Jenn Trepeck[30:59] “Muscle is expensive tissue because you have to work for it. But I think your muscle mass is your longevity lever. I think the less muscle we have, the faster we age.” Jenn Trepeck[35:59] “Regarding cardiovascular health, most doctors look at cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, which are all plumbing. I think the pieces that get overlooked are the electrical pieces of the heart.” Jenn Trepeck[48:36] “We have to be willing to give the body time to respond. We didn't get here overnight. We're not going to repair it overnight.”  Jenn Trepeck[49:01] “I implore you to be willing to journal. I don't mean writing down every thought and feeling. I mean, track what you notice because often, these things will improve so unless we pause to think about it and consider it, we might not notice some of the changes happening.” Jenn Trepeck[58:50] “So the idea of putting all these things together to me is more about being able to think of the small changes we can make.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramDebunking DetoxWhere Does The Food Go To?Down and Dirty Nutrition 101Caveman Biology in a Very Modern World (Dr. Kathy Campbell)BMI is BSBrain Health and Blood Sugar

What is BMI?Is BMI accurate?Is BMI outdated? Is BMI a good indicator of health?How do I get BMI down?The good ol' BMI. It's been terrorizing people for many many years. We all know how it goes, right?Go to your doctor. They weigh you. Then they show you the BMI chart and tell you that you need to lose weight. And you go home and cry because what the BMI says is such a low number and you feel like there's no way you'll ever get there. You've been trying to lose weight for so long! And it's just so dang hard! If you connect with any of this, then this episode is for you. It's time to ask some questions, demystify, and debunk the Body Mass Index.

Have you ever questioned the accuracy and usefulness of BMI as a measure of health? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the history and limitations of the body mass index, exploring why relying solely on BMI can be problematic and misleading.   Tune in this week as we challenge some common assumptions about BMI and its correlation with chronic diseases. We discuss the origins of BMI, the lack of diversity in the research behind it, and how it fails to account for important factors like muscle mass and body fat distribution.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://blog.npreviews.com/body-mass-index/

“One of the big misconceptions is that this is just a quick shot. And this is a patient's treatment regimen. So, it is not just a quick shot. It is treatment, and we need to get it where it is supposed to go so that the patient's, cancer treatment is not impacted,” Caroline Clark, MSN, APRN, OCN®, AG-CNS, EBP-C, director of evidence-based practice and inquiry at ONS, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about administering intramuscular (IM) injections in oncology.

Highlights From This Episode “More frequently oncology nurses are using intramuscular injection techniques when giving certain hormonal therapies for cancer treatment and for cancer symptom management. Some examples of those are fulvestrant for treatment of hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, leuprolide as androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer. This is also used off label for breast cancer management. It's used for premenopausal ovarian suppression and also in noncancerous conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids.” TS 2:04 “Inadvertent injection into the sciatic nerve is one of the most common causes of sciatic injury. It has significant morbidity associated with it. And even for drugs like fulvestrant, the prescribing information notes reports of sciatica, neuropathic pain, neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy—all related to dorsogluteal injection.” TS 6:09 “When administering an IM injection to someone who is cachectic, you don't want the subcutaneous tissue to bunch up. So you can kind of stretch this over with your nondominant hand, as in the Z-track method, and then grasp the muscle between your thumb and index finger. That's going to help you ensure that you're getting that muscular injection.” TS 11:47  “Z-track is a way that you inject so that there's no leakage back out into the subcutaneous space. Clean your area as usual. You displace the skin and the subcutaneous tissue that's over that muscle, and then you inject slowly into the muscle. Once you remove the needle, then you release that tissue. And it kind of seals it over and prevents that leakage back up into the subcutaneous space.” TS 14:19 “I think ventrogluteal injection is less commonly done. There are documented issues with confidence in landmarking and giving it to that site, so practice is necessary. A great way to identify the ventrogluteal site on yourself to start is to stand up and put your hand at your side. You feel for the top of that iliac crest. Place your hand right below the iliac crest and then just start marching in place. You're going to feel that muscle contraction right away. This also works when you abduct your leg. Abducting the leg is helpful when a patient is at a side-lying position to give a ventrogluteal injection—you feel that muscle contraction.” TS 17:06 “I wish it would be front of mind to encourage adverse event reporting related to any injection you're giving. These types of reports—they drive improvement measures and monitoring. And then when things are underreported, it leads us to anecdotal reports. So really monitoring any change, trying to get some baseline data on adverse events with injection is really important.” TS 26:32 

Ever since it showed up on the Body Mass Index, the label “obese” has been used to judge and often shame people with larger bodies. Medical providers, family and friends, even strangers make assumptions about fat people's health solely based on their size. At the same time, excess quantities of fat can lead to poor health outcomes such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Over the decades, medical associations have evolved their understanding of obesity. The American Medical Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Obesity Society all classify obesity as a disease requiring medical treatment.  How does that change the way medical providers care for their obese and overweight patients? And does that mean people with fatter bodies can now face less discrimination? As a part of a series of ongoing conversations on Well, Now on weight and health, we discuss the current medical definition of obesity and how to treat it with Dr. Angela Fitch, former Associate Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Weight Center.

Join us for this replay from the archives and learn more about strength training versus traditional cardio...   Dr. James Fisher answers the question once and for all, do we really need to do exercises like running, cycling, and swimming to improve our cardio? Find out the truth about cardio exercises and cardiovascular health and why you should get off the treadmill and start doing resistance training right now. The fundamental question is “What is cardio?” Even people who have seen the results of the 20-minute routines delivered by the Exercise Coach still wonder what place cardio has in physical fitness. Historically people have perceived exercise to be going for a run or what we think of as traditional cardio. Usually this takes the form of long duration and low intensity and focuses on aerobic energy production. The accepted wisdom is that cardio is just activities like running and cycling, but the truth is that any activity can become cardio exercise if done at the correct intensity. Cardio also raises the idea that we need to perform prolonged exercise to get the result, but that's not necessarily the case. The trouble is that duration doesn't necessarily translate to improved fitness. Someone going for a 4-hour walk isn't going to see the results they would see from an activity with a higher intensity level. Cardio activities like running, cycling, or swimming improve our heart health because of the sustained elevation of the heart rate. While that's true and that process also makes the heart and muscles more efficient, but it's really the act of having the heart rate elevated for an extended period of time that brings those results and it's not reserved for traditional cardio exercises. It is possible to be fit while still having an unhealthy heart due to lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that it is better to be fit and fat, than unfit. People who are overweight and exercise have better health outcomes than people with a normal Body Mass Index who don't exercise at all. Exercises that we perform that are a high enough intensity and frequency can more than counteract any of the other lifestyle risk factors. There is growing evidence that shows that effective exercise alone and improving fitness is powerfully prophylactic in terms of health and longevity. Even if you no longer see visible fitness increases from your exercise, you are still catalysing positive changes at a cellular level and prolonging and improving the quality of your life. Traditional cardio exercises are not necessary to become healthy. Strength training exercises have similar results to traditional cardio training with similar cardiovascular health benefits. It also comes with less risk of chronic joint pain. Don't feel tied to an exercise modality. Studies have shown that people have seen increases in cardiovascular health and efficiency with only a simple 12-week strength training program. Resistance training is the superior choice because, in addition to the cardiovascular benefits, you also improve strength, bone density, and muscle mass. Improved muscle quality is a jackpot outcome because it has a ripple effect that leads to all of the systems of the body getting better when we optimize the health of our muscles.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.
