Send us a message!Martha Jeffery, Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist at the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering in London, joins host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss a qualitative research project exploring parents' and children's perspectives of change following one year of Palin STSC (8–14 years old) therapy. Martha shares the aims and design of the study, which examined how children participating in group or individual therapy, and their parents, described the changes they experienced, and what felt most meaningful.Drawing on thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews, the conversation highlights key themes including shifts in perspective, increased confidence and participation, greater use of skills and strategies, and growing independence and resilience. Martha reflects on how meaningful change from the child and parent perspectives can positively contribute to our therapy development, outcome measurement, individualization, and guide future training and research.Bio: Martha Jeffery is a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist at the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering  in London, UK and she has worked there since 2013.  She started her career as a Speech and Language Therapist in 2008, and before then she had an earlier life in conference organizing and then banking. At the Michael Palin Centre she works with children and young people who stammer and their families, carrying out assessments and delivering therapy individually and in groups.  She also has a smaller caseload of adults who stammer. She is a co-cordinator of the Michael Palin Centre's training programme, which delivers 12 core courses that range from therapy programmes such as Palin PCI, to using psychological approaches such as Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy with people who stammer.  The Centre's training courses reach over 600  speech and language therapists globally each year, which reaches an estimated 6000 children who stammer worldwide annually.  Martha also devises and delivers training programmes - most recently a one-day course on Cluttering.  The third strand of Martha's work at The Michael Palin Centre, is contributing to their research programme and she will be talking about the research project she is currently working on today.Martha has attended additional training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and has an Advanced Certificate in Solution Focused Brief Therapy from BRIEF (London)'s year-long programme.  She is co-author of Solution Focused Brief Therapy with Children and Young People who Stammer and their Parents: A Practical Guide from the Michael Palin Centre (2024) with Ali Berquez.  She is not a person who stammers, but she is married to a person who stammers and is mother to two children - one whose stammer resolved and one whose stammer has continued.

For his 2017 PhD, John Hunter put forward a hypothesis that offers insights into both the “transformational” experiences associated with large group awareness training (LGAT) participation and the common claims of psychological harm and problematic behaviour associated with participation. Dr Hunter presented his work at the 2023 International Cultic Studies Association conference, and for this episode, he breaks down some of his findings – including where LGATs may or may not intersect with cults and cult-like behaviour.Full episode page here.

Picture the headline: Resistance training revolutionizes menopause health. It's that simple.  It's 2024. We still hear both about the use of HRT or reasons (perhaps outdated) not to. We hear about both animal protein and the plant protein advocates.  With this simple method of – humor me – hormone enhancement – there is no argument. We all know we need to be doing it. We all understand the benefits of being strong and vibrant. But lest you confuse a need to lose fat with the need to gain lean muscle, this is for you.  Lifting already? Then you'll love these reminders. After all, the placebo effect is in full swing at all times. It's either working for or against us. So those things you're doing that you know are good for you, amplify them with the scientific evidence and think your way to even better results.  This episode captures the broad spectrum of positive changes resistance training can bring to menopausal women, from physical improvements like visceral fat reduction and bone density increases to more general benefits like enhanced mood and sleep quality improvements. Each of these is directly tied to signs and symptoms of menopause.  Give a Woman a Weight and Change Not Only Menopause, But Her Health the Rest of Her Life Before we dig in, in the rhythmic play off the children's story book, “When you Give a Mouse a Cookie”… When you give a woman a weight… (or when you pick one up yourself)  You:  Enhance her strength Improve her fat free mass Reduce her total fat Reduce that deadly visceral belly fat Support overall hormone balance Alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression Enhance her sleep Improve skin health Increase bone density Enhance Gait and Stability  Women who lift, lift the world. Theirs and the world at large. How Resistance Training Revolutionizes Menopause Health 1. Enhance muscle strength – directly tied to longevity (link to recent episode on testing your own longevity) supporting daily activities and reducing the risk of falls. Beyond that however, for bone density benefit, heavy lifting will require muscle strength.  2. Improve fat-free mass, aiding in a healthier body composition during menopausal transition. The combination of 1 and 2 together, notably known as “recomposition.” You're not literally turning fat into muscle. But you are indeed able to lose fat and not just avoid loss of muscle, but add muscle. This does require some careful effort. For those without much consistent strength training, using a caloric deficit with a high protein intake make effective. The longer your consistent resistance training experience however, and the older you are, you may need a surplus of calories high in protein to overcome the anabolic resistance that occurs with aging.  3. Support total fat mass reduction, addressing weight gain concerns during menopause. Over 5600 postmenopausal women in one hundred studies reviewed showed exercise training effectively increased muscle mass and fat-free mass, and decreased fat mass, body fat percentage, waist circumference and visceral fat. (more on visceral fat coming up). Further this study in Frontiers in Endocrinology in 2023, found combining RE and aerobic exercise(not same session) helped increase muscle and decrease fat, while RE plus combined training – which includes doing aerobic activity and strength training in the same session – helped boost muscle mass most. The reason it likely didn't impact fat as much I suspect is because intensity in the aerobic activity won't be as high. You either won't go as fast or against as much resistance even though it may “feel hard.”  4. Reduce Visceral Fat.  Resistance training has been shown to effectively promote decreases in visceral fat in the absence of caloric restriction. That is, no change other than adding resistance training. In still another study published 2023, reduction in visceral belly fat was significant compared to non-resistance trained control group whether participants did 2 or 3 times weekly RE. The impact was observed to be significant across both obese and non-obese individuals, as well as across different age groups, indicating its broad applicability for fat reduction during menopause. 5. Support hormone balance.For pre- and post-menopausal women's unique physiological needs, muscle is essentially an endocrine organ. You will support more optimal insulin levels, decreasing the need for it and therefore decreasing fat storage. You will experience less negative impact of cortisol compared to cardio. You'll also boost natural testosterone levels, pick up where estrogen levels dropped in menopause, and so much more.  5 More Ways Resistance Training Revolutionizes Menopause Health 6.  Alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by releasing endorphins and improving mood. Similar to the way that there are reduced negative effects of stress with brief periods of rest between sets allow those sensations to normalize a bit before being increased again with the next set, resistance exercise can provide optimal mini exposure to elevated heart rate for anxiety, without negatively tipping the scale, which helps enhance resilience. Enhance Gait Speed and Stability.  By improving muscle strength and mass, resistance training can contribute to better balance, gait speed, and overall mobility. Gait speed is directly related to longevity with a minimum speed of 3.0 set for determining a good baseline. Walking speeds of 3.3. Or greater are associated with greater bone density benefit through ground forces than slower speeds. Gait speed typically slows with instability or fear of falling. Stronger muscles support joints and can prevent falls, which is crucial as bone fragility increases with age. This was a repetition range of 8-15 with an average of 60s rest between 2 or 3 sets. Changes were improved with as little as 6 weeks of twice weekly RE. 7.  Improve Skin Health by improving circulation and potentially boosting collagen production. Resistance training has a more positive impact on thickening the skin dermis, counteracting the thinning of skin from loss of collagen fibers with age.  8.  Increase Bone Density. Both research and anecdotal evidence from our own Flipping 50 community provides evidence that reversal of bone loss is possible through RE. Resistance training places stress on the bones, stimulating bone formation and increasing bone density. This is particularly beneficial during menopause, a period when women are at increased risk for osteoporosis due to declining estrogen levels. Once thought to be the best exercise, the collective approach now includes high impact exercise, yoga and other weight bearing time daily, as well as resistance training. For those unable to lift heavy, tools like weighted vests and whole body vibration (Power Plate is my choice- https://www.flippnigfifty.com/PowerPlate). 9.  Enhance sleep quality, aiding in better rest and recovery, as well as overcoming the insomnia that can occur during menopause. A study conducted by researchers at Iowa State University and presented at AHA Conference in March 2022, found resistance training helped reduce time to fall asleep and also increased sleep time  more than aerobic exercise among exercisers who did 3x a week resistance training Resistance Training Studies and Menopause Health Among the studies there are a lot of variables. Some smaller, some vast reviews of literature as mentioned with over 5000 women, and variations of 2 or 3 times weekly, 3 or 4 sets, the percent of 1 RM to muscle fatigue did vary as it almost always does when looking at a large body of knowledge. What does come out clearly though is:  Multiple sets each session 6-8 sets for each muscle per week  Higher intensity (heavier with fewer repetitions improved results over low intensity light- with more reps)  Post menopausal women don't respond as well with less stimulus and require more volume from multiple sets x heavier weight and potentially greater frequency of HIIT or high intensity  Because of the increased anabolic resistance women experience in post menopause (older) they will require more protein to achieve the same muscle protein synthesis  Even if the goal is to go heavy for optimal bone density, all exercisers should start with higher repetitions and lighter weights with emphasis on good form.  Based on a simple principle of fitness: progressive overload. While a low load more frequently might be a logical way to begin and build a foundation of connective tissue health and train the brain so to speak. This neural component can't be rushed by heavy weight. It will take the time it takes – about 6-8 weeks of a program. A time when proper form and body mechanics is very important.

Unveiling Stigma: Navigating Addiction and Treatment in the Opioid Epidemic with Dr. Jonathan Avery Join host Michael Liebowitz in this illuminating episode of The Rational Egoist as he welcomes guest Dr. Jonathan Avery, a leading specialist in addiction psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York. They dive deep into the heart of the opioid epidemic, focusing on the intense stigmatisation that surrounds substance abuse. Discussing the paradox of our societal attitudes, they explore why substance abuse is often stigmatised more harshly than other health and mental health issues, and how this stigma contributes to an insidious cycle of secrecy and suffering for those affected. Avery explains the deadly nature of this silent struggle, with alarming rates of overdoses marking the epidemic's toll.In an unexpected twist, they highlight that alcohol, the most common driver of hospitalisation and death due to substance misuse, manages to evade such stigmatisation. How does society differentiate between alcohol and other substances, and what impact does this dichotomy have on those struggling with addiction?As they delve into possible solutions, Dr. Avery shares insights on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms to overcome addiction. Furthermore, they explore the unfair societal reactions towards relapse in addiction compared to other diseases like cancer. Finally, while acknowledging the harmful effects of certain drug policies, they discuss promising advancements in addiction treatment and research, offering hope to those in the throes of this battle. Tune in for a thoughtful, compassionate conversation on a critical public health issue. Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand. Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews. Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand. He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest. Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, is joined by Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks, to discuss the emasculation of men and how they can have real conversations with their partners and friends. Despite appearing to have a perfect life, Connor hit rock bottom while struggling with addictions and dishonesty. He eventually found a mentor who taught him yoga, psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and shadow work. When he opened up to his male friends about his struggles, he found they didn't know how to respond and were used to conversations which lacked depth and substance. This realization inspired him to create ways for men to connect with one another and their partners, in meaningful ways that don't compromise their strength.  Connor helps men open up to one another, and their partners, without feeling emasculated. Instead, they flourish from doing so.   Also in this episode: How a man can find a mentor Struggles with addiction, porn, lying and cheating “When the student is ready, the master will appear” How a good man finds his voice in marriage  Men are more isolated than ever and that's why it's important for them to be around other men The importance of doing shadow work   About Connor Beaton Connor Beaton is the founder of ManTalks, an international organization focused on men's wellness, success, and fulfillment.  He is a coach, facilitator, teacher, podcast host and speaker helping men from all over the world find purpose, healthy love, a joy-filled life, and fulfilling sexual connection.

Today I have a returning guest to the podcast – Anne Richardson – of Crunch Nutrition (@theeatingdisordernutritionist on IG) and soon to be The Eating Disorder Nutritionist on the web! Anne is a registered nutritional therapist, and she blends nutrition with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help people have a better relationship with food and their bodies. Anne has a special interest in disordered eating having walked her own eating disorder recovery journey. She works with people who restrict physically and/or mentally, and this can mean people suffering from anorexia, orthorexia, OSFED but also bulimia. Anne grew up in France and has a passion for food and is dedicated to helping people become more relaxed with their diets. She believes that, although nutrition is a science, we shouldn't eat scientifically. She believes many of us have lost our way with food and that this is impacting on not only our physical health but also our mental well-being. Anne is a member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT). She is also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). In our conversation, Anne talks recovery tips and skills, particularly if you are trying to manage weight restoration and heal. She also explores the use of words in relation to food, as words have incredible power and the language we use around food has the potential to help or hinder us. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

I am excited to share this workshop that I hosted with Julia Roman earlier this year called Heal, Release & Renew. The theme was "healing resides inside". We both vulnerably share our journeys of seeking validation and healing outside ourselves and how self love taught us that everything we ever needed existed right within our being.  During this episode we take you through a guided meditation, channelled messages and share tangible tools on how to heal, forgive, release  and renew. The workshop concludes with a visualization on forgiveness and prayer. May this light a spark within and remind you that you are the light which you seek and that every unanswerable question in your life can be answered by recognising your connection to the Universe and every being on this planet.   Here's a bit of background on Julia. Julia is a Self-love & Anxiety Coach who helps women release their limiting beliefs, heal their relationship with themselves, & experience radical self-love. She is a certified Cognitive Behaviour Therapy coach and has a Masters in Human Behavior. Her mission is to inspire, uplift and encourage other women into stepping into their highest version of themselves.  If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe and share!  You can also connect with us on social media:  Julia:  IG @juliaspiritualcoaching  https://www.facebook.com/Juliaspiritualcoaching/  Soraiya:  https://www.facebook.com/soraiya.bodhi1111  @soraiyabodhi

Vidcast:https://youtu.be/6c2OtDkNREE Exposing autistic children to situations they instinctively avoid in a safe, virtual environment permits at least 45% of them to conquer their fears and phobias.  A study from Newcastle University just published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders utilizes an immersive projection video environment called the Blue Room with images the kids themselves can control. The study tested 32 autistic children from 8 to 14 years of age with various fears including fears of buses, airplanes, and even dogs.  A total of 40% of children showed improvement after two weeks and 45% of them did well after 6 months of treatment with personalized video scenarios.   One dramatic story involves an 8 year old named Harry.  His fear of dogs was so severe that he would hysterically run across a road to avoid one, and he was oblivious to traffic.   After a total of 4 sessions, Harry became so comfortable with dogs that his family bought him his own.  The his fear of canines never returned after spending time in the Blue Room. #autism #phobias #virtualreality #immersion #healthnew #healthtips Morag Maskey, Jacqui Rodgers, Victoria Grahame, Magdalena Glod, Emma Honey, Julia Kinnear, Marie Labus, Jenny Milne, Dimitrios Minos, Helen McConachie, Jeremy R.
