In this episode of Safeguarding Matters, Jodi Evans talks to Lou Crawford, Brain Health Educator at Head Safe Football. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive, degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head impacts. In a sport setting, repeatedly heading a ball can eventually lead to CTE. The symptoms can appear gradually, over the course of years. Plus, they can stay the same for years before getting worse.Jodi and Lou discuss the risks of repetitive head impact in sport, and how footballers are particularly at risk. They also talk about how cultural changes can help prevent head injuries in sport. Communication can play a big role here. For example, footballers will tell everyone if they hurt their hamstring. But they may not tell anyone if they have a headache, which can be an early symptom of CTE.You can learn more about CTE on the Head Safe Football site.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease found in those who have had repetitive brain trauma, which cannot be diagnosed accurately until one's brain is examined after death. Looking back over the histories of deceased athletes, researchers have discovered that there are cases of CTE in athletes who never experienced a concussion. A connection has now been made between higher odds of developing CTE as a result of the number and strength of non-concussive head impacts experienced over one's lifetime, also known as subclinical traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which typically show no immediate signs or symptoms. It's not a single injury that causes the disease, but instead accumulation of microtrauma from thousands of hits over years. Parents, many of these unseen TBI's take place in youth sports where the brain is developing and most vulnerable. Parents, you are called to steward the God-given safety of your kids bodies and brains!

Dr Helen Murray joins me for a Coppuccino and we work to through a lot of the myths, rumors and facts about CTE. Dr Helen Murray is a research fellow at the Centre for Brain Research. She is co-PI of the Tauopathy Lab with Dr Brigid Ryan and leads the brain injury and dementia research group. She completed her PhD at the University of Auckland with Professor Maurice Curtis in 2017 and a post-doctoral fellowship with Dr Alan Koretsky at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA in 2020 before returning to New Zealand. Her research explores the biological mechanisms that link repetitive head injuries and neurodegeneration. She has specific expertise in the neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Dr Murray studies post-mortem human brain tissue donated to the Neurological Foundation of NZ Human Brain Bank and uses a novel tissue labelling technique called multiplex immunohistochemistry to label up to 100 proteins on a single piece of tissue. This powerful high-content labelling and analysis approach allows different tissue pathologies to be assessed at a single-cell level using just one tissue section. Dr Murray is also a New Zealand representative in Ice Hockey since 2013 and captained the New Zealand Ice Fernz from 2016-2020. Her research on the link between repetitive head injuries and dementia is closely aligned with her experience as an athlete and her expertise in human neuropathology research.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman are joined by Dr. Julie Bruene, a sports medicine physician, to discuss concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). They cover essential topics including the definition of a concussion, the impact of concussions on the brain, the difference in concussion severity between children and adults, signs and symptoms of concussions, and the assessment and treatment of concussions. The conversation highlights that concussions increase susceptibility to damage from subsequent injuries. They discuss Second Impact Syndrome (SIS), which occurs when a second mild TBI follows closely after an undiagnosed first concussion, emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis and awareness. They also explore Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and how it relates to high-risk sports for concussions, such as boxing and full-contact football. This episode provides valuable insights into the complexities of concussions and TBIs, emphasizing the need for education, proper diagnosis, and appropriate management strategies. The comprehensive discussion offers listeners a deeper understanding of the risks associated with brain injuries and the importance of proper care and prevention.

Amber speaks about concussion in athletes with Anthony Alessi, MD and board-certified neurologist who specializes in neurology, neuromuscular diseases, EMG, and sports neurology. Dr. Alessi is a Clinical Professor of Neurology and Orthopedic Surgery and the Director of the NeuroSport program at the University of Connecticut, and neurologist for the New York Yankees and Connecticut State Boxing Commission. In this conversation, they discuss Dr. Alessi's background in neurology and how he became the neurological consultant to the NFL Players Association, among other professional sports organizations. Dr. Alessi discusses the current science of concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), the challenges of working with athletes, the psychological impact of concussions, and the role of rehabilitation in recovery. Dr. Alessi debunks the myth that complete rest and avoiding screens is the best approach to concussion recovery, and shares what actually affects recovery time, including the role of exercise. He divulges insights about identifying concussions in race scenarios and emphasizes the need for awareness and action in protecting the brain health of athletes. He talks through symptoms and the steps for seeking treatment, including when to seek emergency care, what to look for in a specialist, and how to recognize if you need a different healthcare professional. He shares recommendations on how athletes, coaches, and parents can work with medical professionals and can exercise caution regarding unproven treatments and promises. Dr. Alessi highlights the plasticity of the brain and its ability to recover from injury with individualized treatment, including key considerations for treating athletes and guiding gradual return to activity. This conversation offers an in-depth look at the research, physiology, and real-world treatment of concussion in athletes, with actionable takeaways for anyone who works with athletes or regularly engages in sports or endurance activities.

Toxic thoughts, depression, anxiety-our mental mess is frequently aggravated by a chaotic world and sustained by an inability to manage our runaway thoughts. But we shouldn't settle into this mental mess as if it's just our new normal. There's hope and help available to us, and the road to healthier thoughts and peak happiness may actually be shorter than you think.On today's episode Cody has invited the amazing, Dr. Caroline Leaf to be her guest.Today you will learn:5 steps that can help reduce anxiety and depression by up to 81% according to clinical studies How science can help us transition from being aware of toxic thoughts to catching and managing them in their early stages How to capitalize on directed neuroplasticity using the Neurocycle To apply mind management to unwire toxic habits and trauma How to leverage the lessons in the book for their daily lifestyle, including connection, brain-building, sleep, diet, exercise, people-pleasing, toxic perfectionism, overthinking, toxic emails and texts Why mindfulness is not enough and how strategic mind management through the 5 steps can take a reader beyond mindfulness Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist, audiologist, clinical and research neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in psychoneurobiology and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace.Connect with Dr. LeafWebsiteInstagramYouTubeDid you learn something new today?

Our next guests are shedding light on the short and long term effects of Concussions. Leading from personal experiences, Dr. Chris Nowinski who is a former Ivy League Football Player, a former professional wrestler [lookup Chris Harvard], author, and neuroscientist who co-founded the Concussion Legacy Foundation. An organization that performs research on brains that experienced concussions as well as being a resource for anyone experiencing post concussion syndrome (PCS) or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Lewis Simon was en route to becoming a pro hockey player but experienced a series of concussions that took him out of the game. He's an entrepreneur (Founder of STY house), a youth hockey coach, and soon to be sports agent. We didn't have too much time with these guys, but it was a pleasure learning a bit more about the ambiguous signs and symptoms that may manifest down the road after experiencing a series of concussions. CLF has a hotline if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms from a previous concussion.https://concussionfoundation.org/https://styhouse.com/Follow them:https://instagram.com/concussionfoundationhttps://instagram.com/sty.house

Episode Summary: In this riveting episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves deeply into an issue that she fervently advocates for—the prevention and treatment of brain injuries. The episode begins with a worrying reflection on the declining life expectancy in the United States, linking it to both a rise in chronic diseases among children and the seemingly stagnant success in healing heart disease and cancer. Dr. Hieshetter challenges the status quo by questioning the effectiveness of the current healthcare system despite its high costs. Dr. Hieshetter subsequently transitions into a comprehensive discussion about the widespread implications of brain injuries, specifically Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), drawing from insightful resources which she critically examines. She emphasizes the importance of immediate and continued care post-injury, the potential for ongoing cognitive and emotional issues, and magnifies the alarming connection between brain injuries and a host of societal problems. Her clear, evidence-based approach provides both a dire warning and a beacon of hope, suggesting interventions that could change outcomes dramatically. Key Takeaways: •             Dr. Kristin Hieshetter zeroes in on the serious implications of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and other brain injuries. •             Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is linked to alarming rates of cognitive decline, behavioral issues, and increased risk of dementia. •             Early and repetitive exposure to contact sports can advance the onset of neurobehavioral symptoms in children. •             Specific interventions such as diet adjustments, low-level laser therapy, and certain supplements can significantly aid in brain injury recovery and prevention. •             Dr. Hieshetter advocates for greater awareness and a proactive stance in addressing brain injuries from a functional health perspective. Notable Quotes: •             “We are walking around in the most amazing, intelligent, responsive, adapting, and aware system in the world, the human body.” •             “Every year younger that participants began to play football, it resulted in reported onset of cognitive and behavioral mood symptoms, 2.5 years.” •             “It's what we're being told here in these spaces, these spaces that aren't funded by anybody.” •             “I believe we can do this and we have to do it together.” •             “Let's look at what we can do to get ahead of all of these things that are plaguing our youth and keep them as healthy as we possibly can.” Resources: •             Book: “Truth Doesn't Have a Side” by Dr. Bennett Omalu •             NIH-Funded Study on Age of First Exposure to Tackle Football and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy •             JAMA Article: Association of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury With and Without Loss of Consciousness with Dementia in US Military Veterans •             Internet Journal of Neurology: Transcranial Low-Level Laser Therapy for Brain Injury Be sure to listen to the full episode of Functional Health Radio with Dr. Kristin Hieshetter for an illuminating dive into the critical issue of brain injuries and what we can do to safeguard our most precious asset. Stay tuned for more episodes that bring the truths of functional health into the light.  

For way too long, toxic masculinity has run rife. Men have been taught to be tough, not to cry, don't show emotions and all the other damaging rhetoric. They've also been subjected to abuse and put downs for showing signs of kindness and warmth. This has to stop. The four men I talk about in this episode are indeed putting a stop to the harmful narrative that causes many men to self-loath and in some cases, take their own life. Mark MacManus, Matt Ferguson, Leigh McDonald and Steven Baker aren't afraid to cry, and are actively sharing their stories in an effort to support men and others to ask for help and believe in themselves. Essentially they want people to know they are ok just the way they are.Socials:The Restoration Project https://www.facebook.com/restorationgippsland/Build Grit with Steven Bakerhttps://www.facebook.com/buildGRIThttps://www.buildgrit.com.au/Matthew Fergusonhttps://www.instagram.com/mattyferg21/?hl=enChronic Traumatic EncephalopathyAccording to the Boston University CTE Center, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease found in athletes, military veterans, and others with a history of repetitive brain trauma. CTE is caused in part by repeated traumatic brain injuries, which include concussions and nonconcussive impacts.Source: Concussion Legacy Foundation

Just in time for Super Bowl Sunday, David and a highly caffeinated Rachel discuss the danger of repeated head injuries and what they mean for participating in or being a spectator of contact sports.

Earlier this week we heard the news that Australia had recorded another case of an athlete suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The thing that made this case unique was that it was a female athlete that was diagnosed.  The story of Adelaide Crows AFLW Premiership player Heather Anderson has a tragic ending, but could her death start a conversation that has so far only focussed on men in sport?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what this landmark case means for women in sport and if there's anything we can do to protect us from damaging our brains when we're enjoying the sports we love.  Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide which may be distressing or triggering for some individuals.

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I will peel back the curtain on BioLight's newest piece of innovative red light therapy technology: the Adapt System. Many of you likely heard about it when it was officially released a couple of months ago, but I wanted to give an explanation of what makes the Adapt System, which consists of the Adapt Table and the Adapt Panel, so unique, versatile and a must-have for any physician/practitioner, longevity clinic, med spa, recovery/performance center, yoga studio/cross fit gym, etc. that is looking to implement red light therapy for their patients and clients. After that, we will spend the bulk of the episode on one piece of photobiomodulation research that looks at transcranial RLT for treating the brains of four ex-football players with possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. And CTE has become a very hot topic in the NFL, especially ever since the movie, Concussion (starring Will Smith), was released back in 2015. However, the concern regarding CTE in football, other sports and other aspects of life has only grown and remains ever-present to this day.It is also appropriate to recognize that this particular study utilized only four participants, which is very low in the world of research. However, even with that in mind, the results ascertained in this study simply by directing near-infrared light to the brain is unequivocally profound... and the results were achieved in only six weeks!Hopefully you find this episode fascinating and insightful.

Jason Reedy joins us once again for a wild ride into science, sports, history, and intrigue to dive into what exactly is CTE and what all the hype is about. Why are we just hearing about it in the last decade or two? What does it do to us? And if you were an emerging star in the game and could make $100m playing football and take care of your family for generations would you do it knowing you're likely to get CTE?  What are some positives from head trauma? Wait, positives?    Oh, and enjoy the big game don't think about the immorality of watching your fellow humans bash their heads in, you complicit son of a...   Grognostics is part of the Green Mushroom Podcast Network. with Smuts Up,  Faith Blind Council, Lux Occult, Ad Hoc History, Administrism, Unearthing Paranormalcy, The Green Podcast Network, Primordia, Ex V Plan, Grognostics.

Why do any non-New Yorkers even bother coming to the big city? They're just gonna get turned out within minutes. Of course, that might give them the chance to service a john of Broadway Joe's caliber. This one does quite the about-face halfway through, making the wild left turn from teens being forced into prostitution fresh off the bus at the Port Authority into a dive into the unending effects of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and how it's downing our sports idols. Obviously it was going to end up there, right? This is SVU, after all.Sources:Court doc: Woman accuses Pete Rose of statutory rape - ESPN - https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/20208447/woman-accuses-pete-rose-statutory-rapeMusic:Divorcio Suave - "Munchy Business"Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Pedro H, Amy Z, Nikki B, Louise M, Whitney C, D Reduble, Tony B, Zak B, Barry W, Karen D, Sara L, Miriam J, Drew D, Meghan M, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, and Robyn S - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Georgia US Senate Candidate and former American football player Herschel Walker was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder by an ex pastor who believes that demonic possession can be confused with mental illness.In his 2008 book “Breaking Free”, Walker wrote about his DID and struggles with mental illness, noting that his life began to unravel after he retired from the NFL in 1998. Walker went to see his old friend Jerry Mungadze to seek treatment. Jerry Mungadze is not a medical doctor and has dubious views which include a belief in demonic possession and ritual abuse, but nevertheless diagnosed Walker with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Walker said he had 12 alter egos.

In this episode we discuss Herschel Walker's mental health battle while taking a look at more realistic causes for his violence and erratic behavior, like Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE. In the past 10 years neurosurgeons have found proven links between repeated head injuries suffered by football players and paranoia, depression, memory loss, and violent reactions. A month before the November midterms, Walker, who is running on a conservative family values anti abortion platform, is caught in a web of lies and revelations from his past: he made the mother of one of his out of wedlock children have an abortion and paid for it and has a history of violent outburst against women – retraining orders, stalking accusations, even threatening one of them to “blow off her head” with a loaded gun. His own son Christian Walker accused his father of being a liar and indicated that he abused his mother. 2, 3 1. Shannon McCaffrey.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is an illness that occurs with concussions and subconcussive impacts, leading to depression, manic symptoms, anger, aggression, suicidality, headaches, cognitive impairment, and eventually dementia. I have proposed that lithium can treat or prevent CTE. In this episode, I explain why and interview Jim Scarborough, who describes his family's struggle with CTE in their son and his decision to begin lithium treatment. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30748078/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nassir-ghaemi/support

In this conversation, Dr. Caroline Leaf inspires a song about the struggle for sanity in our crazy world. Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist and was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace. https://drleaf.com/ Stream the song: https://ffm.to/MakingMeCrazy THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZY I can't live in this place It makes me crazy All are wild with naked greed To which somehow it seems that we have all agreed I can't live in a city It makes me crazy Overcrowded, poisoned air Frowning face's surrounding me everywhere I can't live with a job It makes me crazy Sold myself, get paid in stress Now what I have left of my life's worth so much less When there's so much confusion And so much is wrong And so many people Then I must be strong When so much is wasted And there's so much of strife I need to change my life I can't live in a house It makes me crazy Even though I've too much stuff What I have just never seems to be enough I can't live with a woman They make me crazy Always complaining, nothing's right All I get is criticism every night When there's so much confusion And so much is wrong And so many people Then I must be strong When so much is wasted And there's so much of strife I need to change my life I can't live with a body It makes me crazy Aches and pains and colds and flu And it never looks the way I want it to I can't live with a mind It makes me crazy Always talking, never peace Even meditation gives me no release I can't live with myself I make me crazy Cos after all the things I've changed I myself remain the same // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter, donations and download the song for €/$1 @ https://podsongs.com // LINKS // Website: https://podsongs.com Podcast episodes: https://podsongs.com/podcast-episodes Songs: https://podsongs.com/music Spotify artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/32FYyRx1y1ex3jHHAgLMC7?si=4Nv7WW85SbSPZvCsj1o7Ig Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sN1viy82HPiNTVX2YBxpq?si=1b84c2b9bdea4656 // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/podsongs Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsongs Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsongs --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podsongs/message

Comedian Lucy Beaumont is a busy woman, starring as a fictionalised version of herself in Dave's Meet The Richardsons and being the co-writer of new Channel 4 sitcom, Hullraisers. In this week's podzine, she chats to our Hannah about why Hull is no longer the butt of a national joke and that time she wet herself before 8 Out of 10 Cats. For Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen's been on the Zoom with multi-award-winning audio documentary maker and writer Hana Walker-Brown. They're talking about degenerative brain disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), concussive and sub-concussive trauma, and how that all ties to sport, its players, and their lives – and those of their families – off the field. All of which is covered in Hana's new non-fiction book, A Delicate Game: Brain Injury, Sport and Sacrifice. And it's bonkers galore in Rated or Dated, as Mick's choice of Robert Altman's 1977 avant-garde piece, 3 Women, leads to all sorts of questions, but not many answers. Plus, there's loads of good news in the Bush Telegraph. If you're patient, like. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression.

She teaches at academic, medical and neuroscience conferences, churches, and to various audiences around the world. Dr. Leaf is also involved in the global ECHO movement, which trains physicians worldwide on the mind-brain-body connection, mental health and how to avoid physician burnout. Dr. Leaf is currently conducting clinical trials using the 5-step program she developed while in private practice to further demonstrate the effectiveness of mind-directed techniques to help relieve mental ill-health problems such as anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts. The primary aim of these trials is to make mental health care more affordable, applicable, and accessible worldwide, and to reduce the stigma around mental health. @drcarolineleaf on all platforms (FB, IG, Twitter, Youtube) Memorable Moments: 3:48 The conversation is mind and brain are the same thing and people think it is, but they're worlds apart. The brain is not the mind. You are not your brain.  You are your mind and you use your brain and that's a very distinctive difference.5:27 Your mind, on a psychological level, can be understood as how you think, feel and choose. Those three go together. You can't think without feeling. You can't think and feel without choosing. 7:11 So in other words, it's agency. So this, you choosing is you with your wise mind having agency over your decisions, over how you think, how you feel and how you choose. And that agency is something that we need to be empowered to develop and understand. And if you don't understand this connection, you kind of just bamboozle through life, sometimes making a mess and sometimes fixing up the mess, and lot of times, staying in the mess. And the messier you are, the more extreme the state becomes. And then you end up with quite extreme mental health challenges, like severe depression and all the things that go along with that.9:04 So mind-brain-body is kind of all of this and we can actually, with our mind, look at our behaviors, look at our emotions and everything, look at the signals, become thought detectors and deconstruct down to this, and find this thought and all its memories and be constructed and reconstructed.10:15 The first thing is to accept that mess is inevitable and mess is okay. So that's the first thing: you're human, you're alive, you're a mess. And that's just part of it. And it's actually normal.10:37 In other words life, life is just circumstances and events that are not things that we can control. So the only thing we actually have agency over is our reactions to the uncertainties of life.11:41 We've got to stop beating ourselves up about being messy. It is so part of our psycho neurobiology. We are wired and designed, whatever you want to say, for mess.11:52 The messiness is part of this experimentation that our mind/brain/body's doing all the time. What we're meant to do is observe how we are doing it. We're meant to stand back and self-regulate, so there's self-regulation is the second part of the answer. The first part is that it's okay to be a mess...And the second part is self-regulation.14:02 You know, so it's become about this, there's something wrong with you at your core and you're not supposed to be a mess. Actually, that's completely wrong. You are supposed to be a mess. That's how you can grow, repair, and grow. You cannot grow if you cannot repair. And if you don't miss, you can't repeat. You have to miss, to repeat, to grow. And that's the philosophy that helps mental health. 24:51 But if your brain and body are not functioning well, if they physically, the material, the substance is not healthy, then that's going to impact how well your mind can actually use your brain and your body, because your mind uses your brain and your body. And so that's why nutrition is important. 26:05 Nutrition for your brain is important. If you're going to put a lot of processed chemicals in your brain, you are going to have a problem. 26:56 The nervous system in the gut is made from the same material as the brain, [they] come from the same fetal tissue. It has as many neurons. There are many neurons in the gut as there are in the spinal cord, and even a few more.27:38 Everything in your body is vulnerable to toxic thoughts, and to life, everything in your body's vulnerable to life. Therefore if you, cumulatively over time, are living a very unmanaged life, your body is weakening daily and increasing your vulnerability to disease. So over time, the vulnerability is there, so that's why mind management is an absolutely critical factor when it comes to day-to-day living. 28:56 So we see over time, stress that is not dealt with, toxic stress, in other words, stress that has an effect, stuff that's not dealt with, will put you into a chronic state of toxic stress and toxic stress manifests with all these signals32:57 We see that the brain and body are literally wired for love and where we regulate our mind. If you're operating in love, we actually drive a healthy regulation on our mind. And when you have a healthy, a person who's managing their mess in this love way, they become a human that's contributing to society in a healthy, loving way. And it's core to humanity. Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh  and Dr. Angela Phillips.
