Commonly regarded (by no one) as one of the greatest post-Beatles solo projects of all time, this week T.J. and Tony finally dish deep upon Ringo Starr's 1983 masterpiece, “Old Wave.” True to its title, Ringo and Joe Walsh teamed up to make a mid-70s record that was so hot, it wasn't even originally released in the U.S. Thankfully, in 2021, this rarity can be easily found on the internet to stream. Which is great news for fans, not so great news for T.J.'s side hustle selling bootleg burned German import CDs out of his trunk at the Lincoln Mall in Matteson. Between tracks, the guys take a couple detours to revisit: Paul's passion for South Side slugger Frank Thomas Eazy-E's oft-overlooked cameo with the All-Starr Band And great, miscellaneous moments in WKRP history And, in what we have to assume is another first in podcast history, we may just take a quick pause to enjoy two full minutes of Chicagoland's WGBO Super 66, originally broadcast in January, 1986. We don't want to overhype this episode or anything, but let's just say it beats sleep. EPISODE LINKS Are you more of a “Closer to Fine” person, or a “Closer to Free” person?

The Case: Amanda has trouble concentrating, staying on task, and remembering everything. Her son, Logan, is also struggling with concentration. He can't sit still in school or focus on his homework. She's hesitant to go to a doctor because she doesn't want to solve this issue with medication. Many people think that ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is something that only affects kids but actually it's estimated that between 3-6% of American adults suffer from ADD and it's possible that number is way higher as it's not always diagnosed. The Investigation I suspected right away that the issue for Amanda and her son was related to ADD. I was happy to explore how we can support her and her son without turning to medication. Joining me to talk about Amanda's case in this episode is Dr. Darin Ingels. He focuses on environmental medicine with special emphasis on Lyme but also MS, autism, Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS and PANDAS) and chronic immune dysfunction, including allergies, asthma, recurrent or persistent infections and other genetic or acquired immune problems. If you are a fan of the show, you may recognize his name since he helped us out with a Lyme Disease case (episode 18). Defining ADD (and How it's Different from ADHD) Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is different from ADHD in that ADHD has a hyperactivity component. What they have in common is that someone with either disorder will find it difficult to focus on a task or have attention to details, they may experience general forgetfulness, struggle to stay organized, and as a result things that others find easy to do feel complicated to someone with ADD. While many people associated ADD and ADHD with children, adults can also experience it (although ADHD is less common in adults). Has ADD Become More Prevalent in Recent Times? This is an ongoing argument and some say that only the diagnosis has become more prevalent. Dr. Ingels doesn't agree. He feels that there are more kids on the ADD spectrum than a generation ago. And, he points out that ADD is more common in America than in other parts of the world, like Europe. What Causes ADD? There is still research to be done before this question can be fully answered but Dr. Ingels feels that there are many contributing factors in our modern world. This includes items in our diet like corn syrup, food dyes, preservatives, and processed foods. It also includes environmental toxins like pollutants, volatile organic compounds, petrochemicals, household chemicals, pesticides and herbicides. While these may not be directly linked, they can affect the gut and there is a very strong and proven connection between gut health and brain health. He also feels there may be a generational effect where kids are not just dealing with the things they are directly exposed to but the things that their parents and even grandparents were exposed to. This epigenetic impact may simply be a reduced ability to metabolize toxins that has been passed down through the generations. Diagnosing ADD There are no definitive tests for ADD. Diagnosing ADD or ADHD is a clinical diagnosis based on an umbrella of symptoms that place the patient on a spectrum of the disorders. A patient does not need to have every symptom but they are likely to have the ‘hallmark' symptoms of being easily distracted, difficulty following through on tasks, and forgetfulness. Many doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists will make the diagnosis on these symptoms alone. However, other symptoms may also be present. Once a child or an adult has been diagnosed, it's time to search out the root cause of the issue. There may be dietary changes that can help either by eliminating foods that may be triggering or by improving gut health and supporting detoxification pathways. Finding the Root Cause or Trigger for ADD (Important Tests for ADD) Reducing ADD and ADHD symptoms may be possible without medication if the root case of the symptoms can be found and countered. There are a few tests that Dr. Ingels uses to get a better picture of what might be exacerbating the symptoms: Testing for Nutritional Deficiencies. One of the key things Dr. Ingels will test for deficiencies in Vitamin B6 and Magnesium. Deficiencies can show up in cognitive function, mood control and behaviour. These deficiencies can be detected with a blood test. Gastrointestinal Health. The gut brain connection plays a big role in understanding ADD. Dr. Ingels will sometimes do a stool test to look at what's going on with the gut bacterial balance. He's looking for a potential yeast overgrowth, parasites, microbiome imbalances or inflammatory markers. Metabolic Function. An organic acid test is a urine test that looks at many areas of metabolism, from how we process fats and carbohydrates to the detoxification capacity, neurotransmitter metabolism and antioxidant status. This can help identify the root cause. Food Reactions. Food reactions aren't always allergic reactions or anaphylactic reactions as we sometimes think of them. They can be sensitivities or intolerances that present days after the food is consumed. Elimination diets or food sensitivity testing can help to diagnose food as a root cause or trigger for ADD symptoms. Keep in mind that food sensitivities may not present as allergies but rather cause Mast Cell Activation (as explained in episode 67). Genetic Testing. An inability to metabolize or detoxify may be a genetic condition. Some people will do SNP testing to determine if this is at play. A common gene looked for is the MTHFR gene. Balancing ADD Symptoms (and Avoiding Medication for ADD) Taking an integrative medicine approach to ADD means dealing with the root cause of the symptoms. That's why testing is so crucial. If food is a catalyst, then the first step is to eliminate any foods from the diet that may be a trigger. Commonly, testing would be done on many foods including corn, wheat, gluten, eggs and dairy. If there are nutritional deficiencies, then supplementation is recommended as is dietary adjustments to rectify deficiencies. Restoring gut health is another important step in treating ADD symptoms. If there are inflammatory markers in the stool test or if the patient has IBS, Crohn's or Colitis they may have a very low butyrate which would be corrected by supplementing with Enterovite And, if there are genetic indications that detoxification is a challenge, then it's important to detoxify slowly and to support the detoxification pathways by supplementing with B vitamins, folate, and phosphatidylcholine as well as certain therapies like saunas and colon hydrotherapy. Reducing exposure to toxins is also key as well as maintaining a healthy weight. Dr. Ingels says that carrying extra weight can increase symptoms so losing weight, getting active, and building muscle can all help. Reducing ADD Stimulants In addition to removing environmental toxins and eliminating or reducing food triggers, Dr. Ingels also reminds patients that screen time and EMFs can also be triggers. So, make sure to keep these at a daily minimum, even during these difficult COVID times. 10 things You Can do to Improve Concentration (even if you don't have ADD) There are many things that support concentration and memory that are especially important for those with ADD but can help others too: Balance your microbiome Get adequate B6 Supplement with magnesium Reduce inflammation Remove food sensitivities Reduce processed foods (especially foods with preservatives and dyes) Limit screen time Include physical activity Support Detoxification Have a daily mind body practice Mystery Solved When it came to helping Amanda and her son Logan, we started out by doing an organic acids test, hair test, stool test and a blood test. We also tested for food sensitivities. We discovered that Amanda had deficiencies of B6 and magnesium. We also found a sensitivity to gluten. Her microbiome looked balanced but she had a lot of inflammation and traces of mercury (due to past silver dental fillings). Next Steps For the next six months, Amanda took B6 and Magnesium as well as methylation support. We adjusted her diet to remove gluten and temporarily removed soy and dairy to reduce the inflammation. We also did a PushCatch liver detox for three months and added fish oils and curcumin. In Logan's case, he had issues with gluten and dairy. We also discovered that he had a parasite called blastocystis hominis. To eliminate this parasite, we did a gut cleanse with Liposomal Artemisinin from QuickSilver Scientific Biocidin and Allimax. And finally, we removed processed foods from his diet (he was eating a lot of food that contained artificial ingredients and dyes). Happy Ending After six months, the cleansing was complete and Amanda felt a ton better. She noticed that she felt sharper and could focus better. Her memory improved significantly and she no longer felt lost. By adding some mind-body tools, we were also able to support her nervous system and that allowed her to prioritize and stay focused -- which she was thrilled about. Logan saw even faster results. Within one month, he felt calmer and his teacher even mentioned his improved behaviour in class. Amanda was so thrilled about her own progress but also about how well Logan was doing and they will continue to eat in a clean and balanced way to keep up the results. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Amanda and Logan, we were able to find the root causes of their ADD and help them regain their health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?

Most people believe the American economy is being rigged by and for bankers, CEOs, and other superrich elites, because… well, because it is! With their hired armies of lawmakers, lobbyists, lawyers, and the like, they fix the economic rules so even-more of society's money and power flows uphill to them. Take corporate CEOs. While 2020 was somewhere between a downer and devastating for most people, the CEO class made out like bandits, with each of the three top paid corporate honchos pocketing as much as a billion dollars in personal pay! Are they geniuses, or what? What. All three of their corporations ended 2020 with big financial losses and declining value. So how can such mediocrity produce such lavish rewards? Simple – rig the pay machine. Today's corporate system of setting compensation for top executives is a flimflam disguised as a model of management rectitude. On its face, it sounds good – “Pay for performance,” it's called, meaning the CEO does well if the company does well. But who defines “doing well?” The scam at most major corporations is that the standard of corporate performance that the chief must meet to quality for a huge payday is set by each corporation's board of directors. Guess who they are? Commonly, board members are the CEO's handpicked brothers-in-law, golfing buddies, and corporate cronies. So, they set the bar for winning multimillion-dollar executive paychecks so low that a sack of concrete could jump over it. Well, insist these flimflammers, corporate shareholders are the ultimate stopgap against CEO greed. These “owners” can just vote “no” on any executive pay they consider excessive. However, even “shareholder democracy” is rigged – corporate rules decree that votes by shareholders are merely “advisory,” meaning top executives can simply ignore them, grab the money, and run. This system is fixed… and we need to break it!

You will hear Tiimy present our podcast discussion today.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home.___________________________Hearing loss in the elderly. By Timiiye Dawn Yomi, MD, and Hector Arreaza, MD INTRODUCTION:Hearing loss is the third most common health condition after hypertension and arthritis to affect the elderly population. According to the World Health Organization, about 538 million people are affected by hearing loss worldwide with people between ages 61 to 70 years accounting for about third of this number. 80% of those older than 85 years have experienced some form of hearing loss and men tend to experience greater hearing loss with earlier onset compared to women. Normal conversation uses frequencies of 500 to 3000 Hz at 45 to 60 dB. After age 60 there is a steady decline by one dB annually. Genetic component plays a role in age related hearing loss.DEFINITION:A person who is not able to hear at hearing thresholds of 20dB or better in both ears is said to have hearing loss. Hearing loss can be mild moderate or severe and it can be uni- or bilateral. Mild: On the average, persons with mild hearing loss hear the most-quiet sounds between hearing thresholds of 25-34dB with their better ear.Moderate: The most-quiet sounds heard by these persons are between hearing thresholds of 34-49dB with their better ear.Moderately severe: These persons hear the most quiet sounds between hearing thresholds of 50-64dB with their better ear.Severe: The most quiet sounds heard by these persons are between hearing thresholds of 65-79dB with their better ear.Profound: Persons with profound hearing loss hear the most quiet sounds at thresholds of 80 dB or more.Some terms we may want to address here are “Hard of hearing” and Deafness. A person is said to be hard of hearing when they have hearing loss ranging from mild to severe, but they usually can communicate through spoken language. Deaf people on the other hand have profound hearing loss and often communicate with sign language.TYPES OF HEARING LOSS:Hearing loss can be broadly divided into 3 types: Conductive, Sensorineural hearing loss, Mixed.Conductive hearing loss: This involves anything that would limit the amount of external sound entering the inner ear. Common causes include cerumen impaction, perforated tympanic membrane, otitis media effusion, tumors such as glomus tumors, and tympanosclerosis.Sensorineural hearing loss: This is hearing loss that involves the inner ear, cochlear and or the auditory nerve. Common causes are age-related hearing loss (presbycusis, which is the most common hearing loss in the elderly population) ototoxic medications such as aminoglycosides, autoimmune diseases, trauma, infection, neoplasm, and Meniere's disease. Mixed: A combination of conductive and sensorineuralRISK FACTORS: AgingRace (Caucasians have the highest prevalence of age-related hearing loss)GeneticsSocioeconomic statusLoud noise exposureOtotoxins such as aminoglycosidesVascular diseasesHypertensionDiabetesImmunologic disordersInfectionsSmokingHormones such as estrogen. CLINICAL PRESENTATION:Patients may present with sudden or gradual hearing loss depending on the etiologyCommon symptoms: inability to hear or understand speech in a crowded or noisy environment, difficulty with understanding consonants, difficulty having a phone conversation, inability to hear high pitched voices or noises, mumbling or muffling of speech or other sounds, frequently asking others to repeat themselves, speak more slowly, clearly and loudly; needing to turn up the volume of the TV or radio, withdrawal from conversations, avoidance of social settings, tinnitus (TEEN-it-us), disequilibrium which can result in falls.Sometimes you have to start the conversation when you notice the patient asks you to repeat frequently. Make sure you gently ask a question such as: “How is your hearing?” or “How would you rate your hearing? Excellent, good or bad?” Patients may be on denial, but spouses or family members can help identify the problem.ASSESSMENT: History: The goal is to identify risk factors such as noise exposure and medication use. For example, age-related hearing loss in the elderly has a gradual onset as opposed to hearing loss from perforation of the tympanic membrane which is sudden. Due to the emotional and functional impact of hearing loss, it is important to ask about mental health issues such as depression, social isolation and poor self esteem when taking a history from patients. Hearing loss can also result in cognitive decline, increase hospitalizations and functional disabilities, especially in the elderly. An analysis of 605 elderly patients with a large cohort study who had hearing test and cognitive testing done showed an association between hearing loss and decreased executive function, which makes early identification and treatment important.SCREENING:The USPSTF found insufficient evidence to demonstrate the benefits and harms of hearing screening. This a Grade I recommendation.On the other hand, the American Speech Language Hearing Association advises that individuals over 50 years should have complete audiometric testing done every 3 years. Experts also recommend asking older patients or their care givers about hearing problems, counselling on treatments available and referrals when appropriate.TYPES OF SCREENING TESTS:Whispered testSingle questionScreening version of the hearing handicap inventory for the elderlyAudioscopyThe whispered test and screening question can be easily done in the primary care physician's office.MANAGEMENT:Hearing loss is a life-changing event. It requires adaptation and changes in family members and friends.The goals of management are to address underlying and contributing causes as well as comorbid conditions. This could range from managing comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes to treating underlying causes such as otitis media with antibiotics and steroids, to the use of devices such as hearing aids. Proper and effective interventions can greatly improve functional and emotional functions of affected individuals. Despite these potential benefits, non-adherence is common. Commonly cited reasons are initial disappointing results with hearing aids, cost, design of devices, social norms, negative stereotypes associated with hearing loss and use of hearing aids, etc., The family medicine physician plays a key role in the identification of patient barriers to managing hearing loss, encouraging adherence and patient monitoring.PREVENTION:Avoiding risk factors such as loud noise and ototoxic medications can help prevent the onset of hearing loss. Emerging evidence suggests the use of folic acid 800mcg daily and high intake of omega 3 fatty acids to help slow age-related hearing decline, but additional research is needed to help identify potential strategies to prevent the onset and slow progression age related hearing loss. Conclusion: Use your clinical judgment in screening, diagnosing, and treating hearing loss.Now we conclude our episode number 57 “Hearing loss”, Dr Yomi explained on her official first day of residency how to detect hearing loss in elderly patients and how to evaluate and manage this disabling and life-changing condition. We are excited for this new academic year, we foresee a bright future ahead of us. Just like Hans Rosling said, “I'm not an optimist… I'm a very serious possibilist.” Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

Today, on the second episode of Bois & Bar Talk Season 4, we are drinking Lunch by Maine Beer Company. We're getting the ball rolling now and you better know we've been stacking up beer choices for this season! Lunch is an IPA that you could drink at any time of the year. It's a popular one out there, and we found out what the name “Lunch” actually means. It's a special whale that was spotted off the Maine coast in 1982. The whale looks like it carries a bite mark on the fin. Overall, Kev really wanted to try this one on the podcast. We bought a few 16 oz bottles and poured them in a glass. Lunch has a 7% ABV with tropical flavors such as orange, grapefruit, and has a malt sweetness to it. There is definitely some intense hops going on, but the finishing taste isn't very bitter at all. On Beer Advocate, Lunch has a score of 97/100. We both agreed that the beer was excellent and had no complaints other than availability. It's a hard beer to find for us, and when we do, it's going to be on the expensive side. How We Rated Lunch Rob's Rating: 8.5/10 Kev's Rating: 8.3/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode. During Lunch, we kicked off the episode with a first sip and review of the beer. One of the first topics we got into was customer service (a popular rant). We talked about the standard 20% average tip and if it's enough. Kev's been in the restaurant business for most of his adult life, so he's used to it. Rob on the other hand, can't stand job with customer service. Have you ever thought about what a world with no money would feel like? We touched on transitioning to a life of digital currency. Why do we feel more emotion when money leaves us when it's cash? For example, Rob said if he's down in the stock market it won't really bother him. But if a gust of wind happened to blow a few hundred dollars away, he'd be tight about it. We transitioned into talking about bedbugs and how you can spot them. Commonly bedbugs are associated with a sleazy hotel. If you ever sleep in the bed of a hotel be sure not to lay down on the bed cover. They never wash that! Looking for more? If you would like to support the show, take a look at our Patreon page. Also, with Patreon you can support us financially so we can at least break even on our expenses, expand faster, and keep exploring new drinks! Cheers!

Commonly known as Bass Music Scene's Slayer - from the darkest corners of heavy metal, we are joined by the talented duo of Lilith Bathory and Dr. Luna from LUNA13. Initially started off as a solo project by Dr. Luna, it wasn't long after he recruited the mesmerizing Lilith Bathory and the two have formed quite the chemistry over the last couple of years. The recognition from other revered publications like Knotfest, Voyage LA, and Outburn Magazine to name a few were not by accident. The music is one thing that's impressive, but it's the theatrical presence they put on stage that gives the viewers a memorable experience. With everything they have garnered, we also talk about their most recent album titled “GOD.DIS”, and how the different themes of witchcraft, nuclear war and modern conspiracy theories from 2020 came into play. More new music is set to drop in the near future, and the duo are looking forward to bringing all the evil, raw, and pure energy into a live setting once again. Whether it is a heavy metal crowd or a Gathering Of The Juggalos festival, LUNA13 is a live act you will never want to miss. IUF co-hosts Sonny and Cory get into every detail and beyond with Dr. Luna and Lilith Bathory, so tune in and be sure to buy and stream their latest offering “GOD.DIS” out now everywhere via COP International Records.Stay connected with LUNA13, visit: http://luna13.net/, https://www.facebook.com/luna13official/, and https://www.instagram.com/luna13official/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/
For many decades, stories about large apelike creatures in the remote forested regions of America have persisted. Commonly known as Sasquatch or Bigfoot, many would rule out the possibility that a creature so large and similar to humans could have evaded detection by humans, let alone exist in the modern world at all. Is this prospect really so unlikely? While many are very accepting of the notion that UFOs exist and represent a credible pursuit for science, Sasquatch is far more often relegated to myth and folklore by academics.

Dr. Gapin defines ED as an inability to attain an erection that is satisfactory for intercourse; however, he points out the subjectivity of an erection and brings down the definition to “an inability to have satisfactory intercourse”. He distinguished ED from performance anxiety by addressing the psychological component of a person’s psyche that acts up when one worries and develops anxiety over underperforming. Various causes of ED He distinguished various causes of Erectile Dysfunction into four categories and briefly talked about the disorders that could cause these dysfunctions. Disruption of normal nervous functionDisrupted blood flow to the penisHypogonadism, thyroid, hyperlysinemia from poorly controlled diabetes, and hypercortisolemia from chronic stress.Cognitive component plays an important part in erectile function. According to Dr. Gapin, stress can act as a disruptive component in a person’s life driving them away from the thought of sex.Evaluating ED Dr. Gapin addresses the systems-based approach that is followed in healthcare practice. He alerts people to recognize the multiple components that could cause ED before trying to fix it with a pill. He promotes the human systems approach with his patients where he understands and addresses the sleep patterns, stress, vascular health, hormones, and all other factors that could affect erectile function. He advocates adjusting to healthy nutrition and change in lifestyle to reverse the effects of ED by improving glycemic control, weight loss all of which have an effect on energy, hormones, and cortisol which ultimately come down to sexual health. Improving erectile function by improving six areas of health Dr. Tracy emphasizes improving six areas of health – Nutrition, sleep, mindset and stress, hormones, detox, and fitness to ultimately improve erectile function. While quantity is an important factor of sleep, he focuses on the quality of sleep. Poor sleep is said to raise cortisol levels and blood sugar, make you store fat, and lower testosterone levels ultimately affecting sexual function. He counsels on following a healthy diet by following an individualized plan on what foods to eat and avoid, as genetics play a big role in nutrition. As stress is an important component that men take up about various aspects of their lives, he emphasizes practicing gratitude and mindfulness by the following meditation and breathing through the nose. In the area of fitness, Dr. Tracy recommends strength training, cardio, low-intensity activities, and stretching. For more than 50% of men, improving their health in all the above areas will profoundly improve their sexual function. Treatment options Dr. Tracy talks about “band-aid treatment” including oral medications and intracavernosal injectables. Commonly used oral medications are Viagra and Cialis and they last from 24-48 hours depending on the medication. Intracavernosal injectables like trimix, bimix, or quad mix are taught to be directly injected into the penis and it gives an erection for up to two hours. These treatments are short-term fixes and won’t fix the underlying cause. Fixing the underlying cause will help in improving the blood flow to the penis for the long term. He suggests a Vacuum pump that acts as an actual vacuum by sucking the blood into the penis to create an erection. A penis ring can be used to maintain the erection and to help with penis compression. It’s a non-invasive procedure, and he recommends using it 10-15 minutes every day to have a profound effect. Two of the regenerative treatments are gain wave and PRP. Gainswave is a low-intensity shock wave therapy used to focus the shock waves at a specific point under the skin to cause neovascularization and angiogenesis to create new blood vessels in the penis. It’s done by stimulating stem cells and growth factors to produce new blood vessels and can be done over 8 to 10 sessions. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is when you draw a patient’s blood to separate the layer of platelets and growth factor and inject it in five different spots on the penis to stimulate stem cells and growth factors to produce new blood vessels. It’s done in a single session. Dr. Tracy talks about Penile Implant as a last resort. It’s a surgical procedure done by placing an inflatable cylinder-like device into the penis which can be manually pumped to stimulate saline to go from a reservoir placed in the belly into the cylinder to create an erection. He explains several downsides to the procedure like a slight penis shortening, losing sensitivity, losing the feel of a natural erection, and damaging the chances of ever having a natural erection. Testosterone Pandemic Dr. Tracy opens us up to some shocking numbers of drop in testosterone levels and fertility levels over the last 30 years. He talks about the chemicals and endocrine disruptors in the environment that are decreasing the hormones, causing immune disease, obesity, infertility, hormone issues, and cancers. He points out the difficulty in avoiding those as they are present everywhere in our food products, plastic water bottles, packaging containers, household cleaning products, personal care products- shampoo, deodorant, cologne, sunscreen, soap, etc. To curb the effects, he says we need to teach and learn how to minimize exposure to these chemicals. Biography Tracy Gapin, MD, FACS is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health & performance expert, best-selling author, and professional speaker. He has over 20 years of experience focused on providing Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes a personalized path to optimizing their health and performance. Dr. Gapin incorporates precision hormone optimization, peptide therapy, state-of-the-art biometric tracking, epigenetic coaching, and cutting-edge age management protocols to help men not just optimize their testosterone levels but radically upgrade their health and vitality and reverse aging, so they can be the most amazing version of themselves.

In episode 23 of the Investing in Impact podcast, I speak with Graham Singh, CEO of Trinity Centres Foundation, on an innovative approach that transforms church properties into modern community hubs to create local impact.For nearly 15 years, Graham been involved in finding new vocations for church buildings. He provided leadership for 4 projects in the UK and Canada, including at the Trinity Centres Foundation’s pilot site, St Jax Montreal. Graham’s doctoral research and practical work in this subject inform much of the Foundation’s approach. Prior to his work with church buildings as a minister in the Anglican church, Graham worked within the global advertising sector in London, England. He is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, St Mellitus College (via Cambridge University / Ridley Hall) and the London School of Economics. He is fluent in French and English.The Trinity Centres Foundation Story:The Trinity Centres Foundation connected with experts from the social innovation, urban planning, property, finance, management, accounting, legal, government and faith sectors.What we heard was the need for a more radical option.What we heard is that 10,000 of canada’s 28,000 church buildings will close within the next 10 years.What we heard was a call for a secular solution to what began as a faith problem.What we heard was a frustration at too many band-aid solutions and the need for a totally new strategy for the building of social infrastructure.What the organization decided to build was a model that could connect, advise, invest and run the solution: joining with all levels of canadian government, investment funds and social innovators to create a new community hub model for our most strategic buildings.The Trinity Centres Foundation was established in 2018 as a pan-Canadian charitable organization with the goal of lovingly preserving, restoring and repurposing underutilized churches into dynamic spaces for dialogue and interaction accessible for multiple uses to a multiplicity of different individuals and groups. Applying a new social business model that generates both societal and economic value, the Foundation is committed to enabling churches to continue to bring about positive change, while maintaining a secure financial future. In the process, innovative new ways will be found to deliver services, while advancing social inclusion and revitalizing communities and local neighbourhoods.From Churches on the Brink to Hubs of Buoyant CommunitiesChurch buildings are among Canada’s most underused assets — all the more so in recent years — and yet, these sites should never be sitting empty and idle. In addition to serving as places of worship, they should be active and enriching gathering places for members of their respective communities day and night and day in and day out.Commonly referred to as community hubs, TCF’s transformed church buildings constitute a new form of infrastructure that advances and builds on core values like friendship and belonging. Serving to both reflect and strengthen communities, these hubs are welcoming, inclusive and inspiring places where people can go to socialize, pursue common interests, gain new knowledge and find support when needed.The transformation into hubs constitutes a way for local churches to offset shrinking congregations, reinvent themselves, and to remain afloat and relevant. Whether located in high-density urban neighbourhoods or more remote rural settings, each hub is as unique as the community it serves and is defined by local needs, services and resources.Listen to more Causeartist podcasts here.We are powered by:ImpactInvestor - Discover Impact Investors from around the world.Podcast Made with TransistorPodcast cover design Made with CanvaBuild amazing web platforms with Webflow

Western medicine rarely discusses the electromagnetic field that surrounds and permeates the human body. Commonly known as chakras or the biofield, these energy centers are a collection of our stored life events, both positive and traumatic. Medical Intuitives read a person’s mind, body, and spirit to discover the root cause of illnesses. To bring to light the difference between medical intuition from other energy healing modalities, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with three Medical Intuitives who steer patients toward healing using training and intuition. Wendie Colter created the accreditive Medical Intuitive Training Program. She discusses her practice and The Practical Path for intuitive development. And, Professor Paul Mills and Reverend Tiffany Barsotti describe the focus of Medical Intuitives and how positive psychology aids the healing process.

New CWD Field Test For those who don't know, CWD stands for Chronic Wasting Disease. The animals affected by this disease include deer, elk, and moose. This disease is spread through direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission is when the animals are together and are in direct contact with each other. However, indirect is when an animal transmits the disease through the silva, urine, or other bodily materials that an infected animal has left behind in the environment. This disease is fatal 100% of the time but can take 2-3 years to fully waste the animal. Commonly, animals with CWD appear sickly and confused. Yet, this disease is found in seemly healthy animals as well. As a result of the lengthy period from infection to death, it can be hard to track animal exposure. This is why testing can be one of our best and only defenses against this disease. The Importance of Testing Currently CWD has been found in 26 states across the Untied States and is spreading fast. By testing the deer we can determine the prevalence in certain areas. This helps the state and national wildlife departments make important CWD management decisions. Another positive about testing is that you can make an informed decision on whether or not to eat your harvested venison. At this point, it is not recommended to eat venison that has tested positive for CWD. The current testing process can be complicated and lengthy. In some cases it can take two or more weeks to get results. However, researchers are working hard for a solution to this problem. The MN PRO team working with the novel test for chronic wasting disease (CWD). Progress Towards a CWD Field Test for Hunters On this episode of the Modern Carnivore Podcast Mark talks with Marc Schwabenlander and Tiffany Wolf from the University of Minnesota. Marc is the chronic wasting disease research program and outreach manager at MNPRO. Tiffany is an assistant professor in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine at the College of Veterinary Medicine and co-director of MNPRO. They are two of the great minds that have created this exciting new innovation for the world of conservation. The goal of this project is to create a faster cost-effective test for CWD. While this is only the first step in what has promise as a game-changer with CWD, it's extremely positive news. Listen in to this episode to find out more about CWD and this innovative new testing method.

When was the last time you really stopped and paid attention to your surroundings? As an artist, I have spent years training my eyes to pay attention to shapes, colors, and so many other aspects of the visual arts that listening to my surroundings was never a top priority. What can we learn from our surroundings when we deliberately slow down and begin to really pay attention? Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to speak with hundreds of artists from all walks of life. It has been a huge honor to explore their stories, hear their unique perspectives, and bring them to my fellow artists like you! While I think I played it cool in this interview, I have to admit that was totally starstruck when I got to speak with none other than Julia Cameron. Hailed by the New York Times as "The Queen of Change," Julia is credited with starting a movement in 1992 that has brought creativity into the mainstream conversation— in the arts, in business, and in everyday life. She is the best-selling author of more than forty books, fiction, and nonfiction; a poet, songwriter, filmmaker, and playwright. Commonly referred to as "The Godmother" or "High Priestess" of creativity, her tools are based in practice, not theory, and she considers herself "the floor sample of her own toolkit." I hope you get as much joy, inspiration, and encouragement from Julia’s profound insights and wisdom as much as I did! Learning to listen Are you ready to listen? Really listen to the world around you? You might be thinking that there is not much around you that is worth listening to - but you’ll never really know until you take the plunge! Julia Cameron is such a huge advocate for quieting the inner voice and tuning into the world all around that she wrote a book about it! In her book, “The Listening Path,” Julia takes readers on a transformational journey to deeper, more profound listening and creativity. In Julia’s experience, as we learn to listen, our attention is heightened and we gain healing, insight, and clarity. At the heart of the practice, Julia says that listening creates connections and ignites a creativity that will resonate through every aspect of our lives. If you are ready to find a deeper connection to the world around you and unlock the creativity within you, then try spending some time with the practices and rhythms that Julia teaches about. I’ve been incorporating several lessons from her works over the years and I can not recommend her insights and wisdom enough - I know that dedicated artists like you will get a lot out of what Julia has to offer. Embracing playfulness You can’t get very far in a conversation with Julia Cameron without hearing about her passion for playfulness. Yes, that’s right, Julia is passionate about playfulness. If you've been around the Savvy Painter community for very long, you know that I am a huge fan of encouraging artists to get in touch with their inner child and unlock that long-hidden impulse to play when it comes to their art. I thought I was serious about playfulness but Julia has me beat. What are you waiting for? The right moment? The perfect plan? Julia encourages you and me to stop overthinking it and just embrace our playfulness. Do something fun today! Outline of This Episode [4:00] I introduce my guest, Julia Cameron. [6:00] Julia opens up about her experience writing her latest book. [10:00] Cultivating a practice of listening. [13:00] Listening to yourself. [19:30] How to deal with the inner critic. [26:00] What to do next. [30:00] Working from the heart. [37:00] Just try it. [41:00] Doing the work itself is the work. [45:00] Julia talks about her love for film. [48:00] Embracing playfulness.

For anyone who doesn't know – “Diamante”, translated from Spanish means “Diamond”, which inspires the imagination and ingenuity, and the artist we have today embraces both attitudes flawlessly. In this episode, we are joined by the talented sapphire-haired singer-songwriter as she takes us through the journey leading up to her highly-anticipated 2nd studio album, “American Dream”.

Speaker: Taomo Zhou, Assistant Professor of History, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Immediately north of Hong Kong, Shenzhen is China’s most successful Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Commonly known as the “social laboratory” of reform and opening, Shenzhen was the foremost frontier for the People’s Republic’s adoption of market principles and entrance into the world economy in the late 1970s. This talk examines prototypes of the SEZ in Bao’an County, the precursor of Shenzhen during the Mao era (1949-1976). Between 1949 and 1978, Bao’an was a liminal space where state endeavors to establish a socialist economy were challenged by capitalist influences from the adjacent British Crown Colony. To create an enclave of exception to socialism, communist cadres in Bao’an promoted individualized, duty-free cross-border trade and informal foreign investment schemes as early as 1961. Although beholden to the inward-looking planned economy and stymied by radical leftist campaigns, these local improvisations formed the foundation for the SEZ—the very hallmark of Deng Xiaoping’s economic statecraft. Taomo Zhou is an Assistant Professor of History at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, specializing in modern Chinese and Southeast Asian history. Taomo’s first book, Migration in the Time of Revolution: China, Indonesia and the Cold War (Cornell University Press, 2019), was selected as one of the Best Books of 2020 by Foreign Affairs. Taomo is working on a new research project on Shenzhen—the first Special Economic Zone of China—and its connections with the Export Processing Zones and free ports across Southeast Asia. This research is funded by a Tier 1 grant from the Ministry of Education, Singapore.
A diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, can rock a person’s world. Whether or not this was a diagnosis you anticipated, it can be difficult to grapple with the reality of it, for both the diagnosed patient and their family members. There are a few reasons a diagnosis of FTD can be particularly devastating. For one thing, the majority of people diagnosed are younger than 70, so the last thing they expect is for their life to be uprooted by dementia. For another thing, there is no cure and no treatments available at the moment – even though researchers are working hard to change that. Still, there are ways for a person to maintain a meaningful quality of life for as long as possible, especially if the disease is diagnosed in its earliest stages. If you or someone you love has received a diagnosis of FTD, we are here to support you and guide you through. We know that this is a difficult time – and it can feel daunting and overwhelming to plan ahead for an uncertain future. While you might feel helpless right now, know that there is hope. Treatments ARE getting better and there is support out there for anyone who needs it. We’ve spoken on this podcast before about early onset Alzheimer’s, and FTD is similar in many ways – but I am sure if you are experiencing FTD you might be tired of people relating it to early onset. It’s important to remember that these are two separate diseases, although similar, and should be considered as such. For effective treatment and planning ahead to take place, it’s essential that patients understand their own individual diagnosis of FTD, separately from other similar diseases. That’s why today, we’ll be diving into exactly what happens to a person’s brain with FTD, the stages of the disease, and the best way to maintain a high quality of life after diagnosis. We hope that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel less daunted and more supported – and that you have a clear understanding of what this disease really is and what it might mean for the days and years ahead. This is not a diagnosis that you chose, caused, or have much control over – but you do get to choose how you can live each day as meaningfully as possible. Even when the disease is in its later stages, your caregivers can do what they can to make every single day count. Whether you’ve received a diagnosis or someone you love is experiencing FTD, furthering your knowledge of the disease and understanding exactly how it impacts the brain will give you a much better idea of why you are feeling or behaving in a certain way. If your loved one has FTD, then knowing more about how the disease functions will help you to understand those parts of FTD that might feel especially frustrating or disheartening – particularly changes in personality and behavior. We want to start with a reminder that you are not alone. While FTD can feel extremely isolating, particularly if you are young and do not know anyone in your personal life who is experiencing the disease, about 50,000 to 60,000 Americans are living with the disease today, according to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration. That might seem like a small number compared to other diseases – but it’s large enough that support networks, including specialized therapists and counseling groups, are out there. Now, we mentioned earlier that many people with FTD might be compared with those who have early onset Alzheimer’s disease. We also mentioned the importance of distinguishing between the two diseases – because while they are similar, they are marked by key differences. For the sake of understanding what makes FTD different than Alzheimer’s, let’s compare. FTD patients are most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 45 and 65, while the vast majority of Alzheimer’s diagnoses occur in the later stages of a person’s life (early onset is a rare exception). Most notably, though, memory loss is not as prevalent of a symptom in FTD patients. FTD, especially in its early stages, mainly affects language and behavior, while Alzheimer’s targets memory loss. Now, FTD patients can suffer from memory loss, especially as the disease progresses, but it is not the primary symptom. The first symptom in most FTD patients is behavioral changes, which is one of the later symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients. FTD patients tend to have more difficulties with speech and communication than Alzheimer’s patients. It can be difficult for an FTD patient to make sense while they are speaking, or for them to make sense of what others are saying to them. In Alzheimer’s patients, communication issues tend to center around remembering names or important information, rather than understanding the concept of what someone is saying. In the later stages of Alzheimer’s, they are more likely to struggle with making sense of language, but this isn’t always the case. Finally, patients with FTD rarely suffer from hallucinations and delusions, which are common in people with Alzheimer’s disease. This, along with memory loss, are two of the most significant differences between FTD and Alzheimer’s. In fact, the lack of memory loss in FTD patients, combined with the young age that most FTD patients get the disease, makes achieving a diagnosis particularly challenging. Doctors tend to look for memory loss as one of the leading causes of dementia, and they tend to focus on age. Too often, a person with FTD will be misdiagnosed with depression or other mental illness because of their behavioral changes. Understanding the differences between Alzheimer’s and FTD is just the first step to having a clear idea of what FTD is and what it means for the lives of those diagnosed (and the lives of their friends and family members). To further our understanding of the disease even more, let’s get into how it actually affects the human brain. Navigating a life with FTD starts with understanding the disease itself. When we have a comprehensive idea of what our brain is experiencing during FTD, we can better understand our own symptoms and plan ahead accordingly. As the name implies, Frontotemporal Dementia affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. These areas of the brain are critical to learning, communicating, and empathizing. In FTD patients, the frontal and temporal lobes are suffering from nerve cell damage and death. As the nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes are damaged, connections between the cells are broken. These connections are what allows the brain to send signals to itself and the rest of the body. As the nerve cells die or malfunction, the brain tissue in the frontal and temporal lobes actually starts to shrink. FTD comes in two forms – Behavioral Variant FTD, which is the most common, and Primary Progressive Aphasia or PPA. PPA and Behavioral Variant FTD affect the brain in different ways. In Behavioral Variant FTD, the frontal lobe is most severely damaged. The frontal lobe affects how a person behaves, plans, problem solves, focus, and process emotions. Suffice it to say, when this lobe experiences damage, it leads to major changes in personality and behavior. In Primary Progressive Aphasia, the temporal lobes suffer the most damage. The temporal lobes control much of our understanding of language – they store the meanings of words, the names of objects, and how we recognize important people, places, and things. In addition to Primary Progressive Aphasia and Behavioral Variant FTD, FTD can also be linked to two very rare neurological diseases that affect mobility. These are corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). CBS occurs when nerve cells die in parts of the brain that control movement – most commonly, arms and hands are impacted. CBS patients can suffer from orientation and language problems, but this is not always the case. PSP affects a person’s ability to walk and maintain balance. Body stiffness, ability to make facial expressions, and falls are common in this disorder. Most people with PSP will struggle to move their eyes – the most differentiating feature between PSP and Parkinson’s. People with PSP can also suffer from memory issues, behavioral changes, and difficulty problem solving. The symptoms of FTD vary depending on the type of FTD a person has. In Behavioral Variant FTD, early symptoms include lack of focus and motivation, difficulty making decisions, struggling to make plans, loss of inhibitions, lack of empathy, repetitive behaviors, and changes in diet – particularly cravings for junk food. Other signs of Behavioral Variant FTD are ultra-sensitivity to temperature and sound. You might find that you never want to get up from the couch or turn off the TV, that where you were once social and loved being out with friends, now you’d rather stay inside. You might lash out on friends and family or say whatever it is you’re thinking – even if it’s not appropriate or polite. For this reason, depression is a common diagnosis for people in the early stages of FTD. Personality changes, particularly a loss of inhibition, might be a sign that something even worse than depression is to blame. If you or your loved one has seemed to lose their filter or is acting erratically, you should take them to a neurologist for an FTD evaluation as soon as possible. One tough reality of FTD is that most patients will not be totally aware that something is wrong. While friends or family might notice behavioral changes, a person with FTD might deny that anything is wrong. While it might be frustrating to see your loved one deny that there’s a problem or refuse to seek medical help, try to remember that this is not on purpose. Many people with FTD genuinely do not realize that there is a problem and might even be offended that others believe something is wrong. Because many people with FTD do not recognize that there is a problem and refuse to see a doctor, a diagnosis can take a long time. It can seem nearly impossible to convince a family member with FTD to make an appointment, and the last thing anyone wants to do is drag their loved one kicking and screaming into their GP’s office. If you are struggling to convince your loved one to see a doctor, you might want to consider talking to them about making an appointment for depression or another issue that might be affecting them. At that appointment, you can speak to their doctor about evaluating them for FTD. Symptoms of Primary Progressive Aphasia FTD are mainly centered around language. If you or your loved one is having difficulty remembering the meaning of words or finding the right word for something, they might be suffering from PPA. A person with PPA might use the wrong word to describe something – like calling a chair a couch or a door a window. For some objects, they might not be able to say any word at all. At the same time, PPA patients might ask what a specific word means, particularly one that they might not use as often. For instance, a person might ask what a jacuzzi is if they see one on TV, or ask what pasta is if they’re having it for dinner. PPA patients might also not remember how to use objects that were once familiar to them. They might not know how to put the leash on the dog, or even what it’s used for, or forget how to hold a spatula. This symptom tends to arise in the later stages of PPA, but it can occur earlier on. Because diagnoses tend to occur after the disease has already progressed, this is still a symptom you should be on the lookout for pre-diagnosis. Commonly, a person with PPA will also have trouble reading and writing. They might spell familiar words wrong, forget how to write their name, or write phonetically. For instance, if they are trying to write “k-n-o-w” they might instead write “n-o.” Treatment for PPA patients is centered around helping a patient maintain their grasp of language while also finding new ways to communicate. Many PPA patients use notebooks to communicate, or else charts where different sayings and objects are drawn out for them to point to. Asking “yes” or “no” questions is also an effective way to communicate with someone with PPA. While these methods can be successful in the early stages of the disease, communication of any kind will become more difficult as it progresses. A person with PPA should meet with speech-language pathologists and therapists to come up with a plan that best fits their needs and abilities. Unfortunately, there are no more concrete treatments at the moment for patients with PPA or Behavioral Variant FTD. Researchers are working to better understand the disease so they can identify new drugs and treatments to help. At the moment, there are many clinical trials that are testing new therapies and methods for treatments. Some patients might consider speaking to their doctor about participating in a trial. Still, there are ways for a person to have a high quality of life after a diagnosis. Most beneficial, according to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, is finding a daily routine that keeps the patient active, healthy, and stimulated. The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration explains that, “the formula is to maintain social relationships as much as possible and adapt interests, accomplishments, and memories into activities that match the person’s current functioning. For example, if competitive poker or bridge was a favorite social activity, playing a more casual or simpler version with fewer rules if needed can engage the person, connect with that part of his past, and provide a meaningful way to interact with others.” The more you can stimulate the mind while adhering to the needs and comfort of the person diagnosed, the better. Jessica Crawford, the writer of the blog FTD and Me, in which Crawford shares her experience caring for her mother before and after an FTD diagnosis, said that she tried many activities until she found one that successfully engaged her mother’s mind and made her genuinely happy: a spa day. She found that the spa day was especially effective because her mother used to love getting her hair and nails done and “feeling pretty,” and being at the spa was a relaxing and calm environment that did not overstimulate her. She even managed to call ahead and arrange an appointment for after-hours so the spa was not crowded with strangers, who may have intimidated her mother. The activities you engage with or have your loved one engage with will change over time as the disease progresses, but it is important that new activities are found whenever possible. In the more advanced stages of the disease, it might be helpful to seek out support groups or community resources that specialize in FTD patients. Many groups will hold activity nights catered toward FTD patients that can be extremely rewarding to take part in. Life with FTD is not easy – but with the right resources and support network, a person can continue to stay engaged, active, and most of all – not feel so alone.

If your loved one has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you might be feeling lost, confused, scared, and overwhelmed with concern. It’s a diagnosis no one wants to hear, but one that far too many families are impacted by year after year. In fact, according to Parkinsons.Org, about 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with the disease each year. It’s estimated that about one million Americans have Parkinson’s disease today. That’s more than those who have muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or ALS) combined. Those are staggering numbers. But what exactly is Parkinson’s Disease? How can we provide the care our loved one needs after a diagnosis? How can we care for ourselves? What can we expect in the years ahead? On today’s episode, it’s all about understanding Parkinson’s Disease. By the end of this episode, you should have a much clearer understanding of what your loved one is experiencing – and how you can prepare for what’s to come. Let’s start with the basics. With numbers as staggering as the ones previously mentioned, it might not be surprising to learn that Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease in the world. The most common of these diseases is Alzheimer’s. To learn more about Alzheimer’s Disease, head to our episode page to listen to our many episodes about understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia. Because Parkinson’s tends to be age related, most people are diagnosed over the age of 50. However, it’s estimated that about 4% of Parkinson’s patients are diagnosed at a younger age. One famous example is Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s at the young age of 29. The cause of the disease is largely unknown, but the effects are clearer. When a person has Parkinson’s, the brain cells that produce dopamine become impaired or die. Because dopamine controls movement, when these neurons are no longer functioning, movement is drastically impaired. It is unclear what exactly causes these neurons to misfunction or die. In addition to dopamine, the nerve endings in a Parkinson’s patient’s brain that produce norepinephrine are lost. Norepinephrine sends chemical messages through the sympathetic nervous system, which controls heart rate, blood pressure, and other automatic body functions. Scientists believe that this is why Parkinson’s patients often suffer from irregular blood pressure, slow movement of food through the digestive tract, and fatigue. Many people with Parkinson’s also have Lewy bodies in their brain cells – which are clumps of abnormal proteins inside neurons. Lewy bodies most often form in the parts of the brain that control memory and movement. This is why many people with Parkinson’s also suffer from Lewy body dementia. To learn more about that condition, listen to our episode on understanding Lewy body dementia. While it’s unclear what exactly causes Parkinson’s, some cases appear to be hereditary, while others have been linked to genetic mutations. In most cases, though, the diagnosis appears to be random. Researchers do believe that the disease might be caused by environmental factors – such as exposure to toxins or head injury – but not enough consistent evidence has occurred to pinpoint a straightforward cause. We can only hope that over time scientists will gain a better understanding of why the disease occurs in the first place. Parkinson’s disease varies widely from person to person. That means that while some symptoms are more frequent or expected, there’s no way to predict what specific symptoms one person might experience or when they might experience them. Parkinson’s disease is diagnosed clinically – which means that the disease cannot show up on brain scans or through blood tests. Instead, a diagnosis is based on a Doctor’s examination of a person’s medical history and evaluation of symptoms. If you’re worried that you or a loved one might have Parkinson’s Disease, but have not yet received an official diagnosis, you might want to see a movement disorder specialist. Movement disorder specialists are neurologists who specialize in Parkinson’s disease among other movement disorders. These doctors will be able to carefully assess the patient and symptoms, and make a diagnosis based off of his or her specialized expertise. So, what exactly are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease? Again, the symptoms do vary from person to person, in terms of both the severity and the types of symptoms. Still, there are three movement symptoms that are particularly common, especially in the early stages of the disease. These three symptoms include stiffness, slowness of movement, and a resting tremor. It is possible for a person to just have one of these symptoms or have all three. Even if you or your loved one is experiencing only one of these symptoms, it’s well worth your time to schedule an appointment with a doctor. The tremor will look like a slight shaking of the hand, finger, thumb, or chin. Commonly, the tremor will occur during rest in the early stages of the disease. It is sometimes called the “rolling pill” tremor, because if a person rests a pill in their open palm and it rolls, the hand may be experiencing a tremor. Other common early signs are more subtle. Small handwriting is one of these. If a person’s writing has gotten smaller or the words are crowded together, this could indicate Parkinson’s disease. Loss of smell is another early symptom. Have your loved one try to smell certain foods – like bananas or licorice and ask them if they are able to smell them clearly. If not, this could mean that they are suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and you should get them to the doctor for examination. In addition to smell, voice can be affected early on in the disease. If a person is speaking much more quietly than usual, to the point where they sound hoarse or like they are whispering, this could be a sign of Parkinson’s. Other common early symptoms include restless sleeping, depression, constipation, stooping over, or dizziness. You might also notice that your loved one has what’s called a “masked face.” If your loved one has a constant angry or serious expression on their face, they might have Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s can be misdiagnosed in the early stages – especially for patients who are not suffering from tremors or muscle stiffness. Some of the other symptoms can be misconstrued as normal parts of ageing. If you feel that your loved one might have Parkinson’s, but they weren’t diagnosed, have them see a specialist for a second opinion. There are five common stages of Parkinson’s – although, again, not everyone goes through this disease in the same way. The following five stages are the most typical patterns of progression as observed by doctors and scientists. In the first stage, a person has mild symptoms, such as a tremor or changes in posture or facial expressions. These symptoms won’t usually interfere with daily life. Typically, a person in the first stage will only notice tremors or movement difficulties on one side of the body. Within three to seven years of diagnosis, most patients will notice moderate changes to these early symptoms. This means that they have officially entered stage two. Stage two of the disease, or the moderate stage, tremors and movement difficulties increase in severity. While in stage one, zipping a jacket might have been somewhat difficult, it might now take a significant amount of time to do. A person’s posture might start to slump or droop more severely in this stage, and a person might find that their tremors and muscle stiffness have moved to both sides of the body. A person in the moderate stage of Parkinson’s can usually still care for themselves but will take significantly more time to accomplish simple tasks. Some patients at this stage might request more help with daily activities. Stage three, the middle stage of Parkinson’s, is the big turning point for most patients. Reflexes will decrease as will balance. A risk of falling is increased, between a patient’s struggles with balance, walking, and posture. Patients at this stage will likely need a wheelchair to get around. A patient at stage 3 is able to maintain independence – although they will take longer to eat and get dressed and might desire a little extra help to get things done around the house and run errands. In stage four, a person can no longer be independent. While a person can stand from a chair without extra help, they won’t be able to walk from the chair to their bed or wheelchair on their own. A patient in stage four will need help to eat, dress, bathe, and move around the house. A person in stage five of Parkinson’s will require around the clock care. Advanced leg stiffness will make it impossible to stand or walk – and a person will require a wheelchair. If a Parkinson’s patient is also suffering from Lewy body dementia, then they might be experiencing increased hallucinations or delusions by this stage. Not everyone with Parkinson’s makes it to stage five of the disease. While Parkinson’s disease is certainly severe, and complications from the disease are the 14th cause of death in the United States, a person with Parkinson’s can live well with the disease. Michael J. Fox is proof that people can maintain a high quality of life after diagnosis. The disease is a progressive one, but the level of progression varies from person to person – and there are some steps a patient can take to slow the progression. Have your loved one work with their doctor to establish a treatment plan. A combination of therapies and prescription medications can help a person with Parkinson’s maintain a high quality of life. Doctors will likely prescribe dopaminergic medications, to help with the impaired dopamine neurons in the brain. While medications cannot cure the disease, they can improve symptoms to make daily living a little easier. In addition to medications, patients should get plenty of exercise. In the early stages, it’s important to get those stiff muscles moving – so activities like biking, running, tai chi, yoga, and dance are all recommended. Exercise will help a person to maintain their balance, mobility, and activities of daily living. Exercise will also improve many symptoms. According to Parkinson’s.org, “people with PD who start exercising earlier and a minimum of 2.5 hours a week, experience a slowed decline in quality of life compared to those who start later. Establishing early exercise habits is essential to overall disease management.” Of course, exercise will come with its own set of challenges for Parkinson’s patients. Balance issues, trembles, muscle stiffness, and endurance can all pose challenges to exercising – but there are plenty of ways to exercise safely. All Parkinson’s patients should consult their doctors before starting a new form of exercise and should ask for a list of recommended exercises based on their symptoms. Physical therapists will help patients with safe, specialized exercises meant to improve symptoms. Physical therapists will often recommend a routine exercise regimen that includes aerobics and resistance training. There are also community classes in most cities meant for people living with Parkinson’s disease. These classes cover everything from dance to boxing and are catered toward improving symptoms and slowing progression in patients. There are surgical options for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is one surgical therapy that many patients can benefit from. The surgery works by implanting an electrode into the affected area in the brain. The electrodes are then stimulated with a device located under the skin in the chest. This allows brain to control movement at a “normal” level. DBS is not a cure for Parkinson’s, and it does not help with non-motor symptoms such as depression, loss of smell, or constipation. Before considering this surgery, be sure to get an evaluation from a movement disorder specialist. DBS is not the best choice for all patients, but a specialist will you’re your loved one determine if it’s the best choice for them. Patients with Parkinson’s can also assemble a care team of specialists – from home nurses to occupational therapists and neurologists – to help with treatment. The more organized and structured a person’s care plan is, the better. When considering the type of care a person with Parkinson’s needs, it’s important to think about where they will be living. From assisted living to at home care and everything in between, there are plenty of living options to consider with your loved one. To learn more about the best living options for your loved one, check out our episode on choosing the right type of care for seniors. Because depression is a common symptom in patients with Parkinson’s, it’s important to make sure your loved one is mentally stimulated. It’s estimated that 50% of patients with Parkinson’s suffer from depression, while 40% face anxiety. According to Parkinsons.org, “The Parkinson’s Foundation Parkinson’s Outcomes Project found that taken together, mood, depression, and anxiety have the greatest impact on health status, even more than the motor impairments commonly associated with the disease.” Depression in Parkinson’s is a direct result of changes in brain chemistry, as the parts of the brain that control mood, energy, motivation, and sleep are impacted by Parkinson’s. Social isolation can make the depression even more severe, so make sure your loved one is engaged in social activities – from visits with the grandkids to clubs and organizations. Make sure that your loved one has something to look forward to – whether trips to the movies or the park, visits, or a nice dinner. Having something to look forward to can help enhance a person’s quality of life and give them something positive to think about. According to Parkinson’s.org, “the best approach” for treating depression, “is a combination of antidepressant medication, counseling, exercise, and social support.” A counselor can provide essential support and can recommend coping skills to help with positive thinking. There are therapists and counselors who specialize in Parkinson’s Disease. Additionally, plenty of support groups exist within the Parkinson’s community. Introducing your loved one to people going through similar difficulties can help them to feel less alone in their struggle. Caring for a person with Parkinson’s also means caring for their home. Make sure that there’s nothing at the home a person can easily trip over – like throw rugs, electric cords, or slippery floors. Clear pathways, place mats in bathtubs and showers, and arrange furniture so it’s not blocking any walkways. If you want to provide additional support for your loved one, you can help them by volunteering to exercise with them, which will keep them motivated to exercise while allowing them a great opportunity for socialization, and something to look forward to. Getting your loved one out of the house as often as possible is key to their happiness, also. It’s isolating to be alone in the house all the time – so any excuse to get out will be welcomed, as long as the person is feeling up to it. While this is more difficult during the pandemic, consider taking your loved one on a walk to the park, or to an outdoor movie. You can also set up a projector in the backyard so your loved one can be outside, engaged in something fun, and comfortable. Finally, it’s important to be patient with your loved one. Don’t rush your loved one through getting dressed, standing up, or eating dinner. Remember – they are going as fast as they can and rushing them will only make them feel more frustrated. I know that this disease can be endlessly frustrating and disheartening for family members – so make sure you have an outlet to express yourself, that’s not the person suffering. Go to friends, family, a therapist to vent frustrations, so you’re in a better state of mind to be patient with your loved one the next time you see them. A Parkinson’s diagnosis is never easy – but with the right knowledge, preparation, and treatment plan, you can know what to expect and make the journey as positive as possible for you and your loved one.

Every July 14th, the people of France gather together in celebration of freedom and liberty. Commonly known as Bastille Day, July 14th is a day in commemoration of when La Bastille in Paris was stormed and the prisoners inside were freed. The storming of the Bastille is seen as the single most pivotal and symbolic moment of the revolution, during which the tide had finally turned. Although this image of the events of the revolution is simple and straight-forward, it is far from the truth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aptpod/support
“Thanks for your interest, but we’ve decided to go with another candidate.” That is a statement no job seeker wants to hear. Let's be honest, rejection sucks! As an international student, Akosua got rejected for almost 2 years when she applied for jobs/internships because she was an immigrant and most companies did not want to sponsor her. Unfortunately, this is a common reality most international students face repeatedly. So how does one bounce back from being constantly rejected, move forward, and live a bold life? In today’s episode, Akosua Boadi-Agyemang shares her journey of moving to America, dealing with constant rejection as an international student, going viral on LinkedIn, getting her dream job at Microsoft, and is now living a bold life.

Build a Community Rather Than a Networkfeaturing Mark BoederIf you want to be a successful business professional, it’s far more important to develop a community than a network. Most accomplished business professionals have an origin story, which harkens back to when they first started working, entered a particular industry, or found their niche. Often, origin stories go back many years or even decades. In my case, even though I have worked in and around this industry 25+ years, my origin story came to life in October 2016. Commonly we learn: One’s success will typically be a function of the people in the community you create and serve. You should build your network with intentionality and purpose. Then learn how to serve THEM well. If you do, they will return your efforts tenfold. #1 International Bestselling Business Author, Mark Boeder, Answers: You often talk about community being more important than a person’s network.

SIBO Post C-Section, Colonoscopy Prep, Quality of Intestinal Gasses on Probiotics, Practicality of Bulking on Keto, Thoughts on Anti-Histamines? Make your health an act of rebellion. Join The Healthy Rebellion Please Subscribe and Review: Apple Podcasts | RSS Submit your questions for the podcast here Show Notes: News topic du jour: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/27/china-starts-using-anal-swabs-test-covid-high-infection-areas 1. SIBO Post C-Section [11:39] Jaimie says: Hi Robb and Nikki! Love your passion and information for this podcast! I'm looking for some help with diving through the endless research and information on SIBO. A little background: I'm 34, and in January had my second baby. This time around I had to have a c-section due to a previous abdominal surgery. I have followed a pretty holistic lifestyle for the last 10 years, and typically eat a paleo diet. I couldn't tell you the last time I had antibiotics until this surgery. A week post op my incision ended up getting infected, and I took another round of antibiotics. I'm not one to take pain meds, but did rotate Ibuprofen and tylenol for pain post op. Of course, this all reeked havoc on my gut. I never had gut issues and started to notice a lot of things changing postpartum. A month ago, I saw a functional med NP who did some labs and I did a stool sample. A few weeks ago we reviewed the results. I have sibo- methane predominant, as well as H. pylori... there were other things like E. coli, parasite(EEEK!), and other digestive enzymes that were off. Basically, the NP said that for right now because I'm breastfeeding I can't really take anything for the SIBO, but to try and just focus on my diet. Being the perfectionist that I am cannot settle for that :) I've been researching some things on SIBO and came across a podcast by Kresser. They were discussing the supplement ATRANTIL. They discussed some case studies on it and the positives, but I'm curious if you are familiar with this product and what the research says? Also, What are your thoughts on taking this while breastfeeding? Of course it hasn't been studied, but if Nikki had SIBO what would you do? :) Thanks so much and keep up the great work! 2. Colonoscopy Prep [15:04] Eric says: Robb and Nicki, Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this community. I have been following Robbs' work for many years now. I did stop eating a whole food diet slowly over the last 6 years. I am getting back into it and love how I am feeling and doing. On to my questions: I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy next month. Do you have any recommendations for the prepping for the procedure? I was thinking about using LMNT instead of the sports drink recommendation would this be ok? Also, any recommendations on things I can do after the procedure to improve my gut? Information about me 40 years of age 5' 10" 225 pounds 3. Quality of Intestinal Gasses on Probiotics [17:59] Michal says: Hi Robb! I've been a huge fan of your as well as your podcast for some 4 months now. Listened to almost all archive talks of yours and read Wired to Eat. The only reason I haven't yet subscrive to the Healthy Rebellion is I'm a loner and don't really dig communities. The reason I am writing to you is the recent finding of mine. I had a bad gut microba for years. I didn't need any hard research on it, neither did I test it. I just knew it was bad by how I felt all the time not to mention how I felt after eating most things. Bloated, gassy with impossible acidic reflux and often loose stool. I knew I needed to improve my gut health and invested in probiotics (namely NOW's 25B portion). On top of that I also bought myself pickled veggies: a mix of salads, pickled kimchi, pickled carrots and whatnot. To my surprise I am way less bloated, less gassy and with firmer stool. The biggest surprise, however, is the quality of those gases. I am not a fart expert, by any means, but the change is visible. Until I picked up massive ammounts of probiotics, my gasses were frequent, smelly (af) and kind of soft. Like a 'puff' sound. Now they are less frequent and less smelly but more pronounced. They are shorter in duration, a bit louder and, sort of, trumpet like. It feels great. My guess is the last thing you want in your email is reading about some guy's in Poland gasses but I thought you might have some insights into this. Is it normal? How come my gasses changed just by adding microbiota and live bacteria to my gut? I'd love to learn more, especially since I heard that gut is being thought of as our second brain (sometimes the first) due to its influence of and regulation over, well, basically everything. Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers from Poland. Michal 4. Practicality of Bulking on Keto [27:27] Alex says: Dear Robb & Nicki, -I am male -29 years old -5'4'' -probably around 11% body fat (at the time of writing this) -relatively strong: can squat and pull a little more than 2x bodyweight, strict muscle-ups, etc., etc. My question is about the efficacy of bulking with a ketogenic diet. I am not currently following a keto diet. I have never done any kind of glucose monitoring, but I'm assuming that I tolerate carbs pretty well because I would not feel noticeably worse if I were to consume a ton of carbs. Now, I would really like to get as jacked as possible, and I hate the traditional bulking and cutting cycle. Robb frequently mentions the Ketogains folks, and I know Luis Villasenor talks about this idea of "gaintaining" - or continually building lean mass, which sounds way more preferable to me even if the progress is dramatically slower than a conventional carb-heavy bulk. I would love to just stay lean year-round and not have to do maintenance and cutting cycles. I understand it is also perhaps a little more challenging to bulk on keto because the food is much more satiating. I've been using the RP Diet app for the past couple of years and I like it a lot actually, I'm pretty happy with my body composition - but if this "gaintaining" thing is a real option I would be seriously interested in trying it. I follow Power Athlete's Jacked Street program and I know John has this "you don't need more carbs than you need" philosophy, but he has also said carbs are pretty much essential for bulking, and that dude knows a thing or two about bulking. With the conventional bulk/cut approach I often feel like I'm taking one step forward and then 9/10 of a step back. It just occurred to me that I think I forgot to include my bodyweight in my initial question. It's currently about 141 lbs, don't know how relevant that is. My goal is to get down to about 10% body fat so that I can attack this bulk with everything I've got. P.S. - I LOVED the Salty Talk on the Great Barrington Declaration. I do find what you guys do to be valuable and listening to you on a weekly basis is extremely cathartic. You two are the voices of reason in this absolutely insane time we live in. You've mentioned the mental health consequences of this Covid lockdown many times and I don't know that I could have managed without this podcast. Thank you and keep up the amazing work. XOXO, Alex 5. Thoughts on Anti-Histamines? [34:35] Craig says: Hey Robb and Nicki! A couple questions on anti-histamines (Benadryl or Zyrtec) for allergies - do they have broader effects on reducing inflammation? Is there a danger around taking antihistamines regularly? Thanks in advance! Craig https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/physrev.00043.2007 https://www.healio.com/news/pediatrics/20191116/antihistamines-part-ii-longterm-adverse-effects#:~:text=Commonly%20used%20first%2Dgeneration%20antihistamines,the%20risk%20for%20developing%20dementia.

Just north of Lafayette, Louisiana– in the small town of Sunset– is Chretien Point, a beautiful Creole style two-story mansion that once served as the centerpiece to a vast cotton plantation known as Chretien Point. Today, the enduring legacy of Chretien Point is not in its bricks or furnishings, but in the story of its mistress, Félicité Neda Chretien. Commonly referred to as a ‘real-life’ Scarlett O’Hara – Madame Félicité Chretien was confident, strong-willed, intelligent, and beautiful. Félicité learned how to successfully run a plantation from her father, and it was she who saw Chretien Point Plantation through its most prosperous days, and it was Madame Chretien who saved it from its darkest.
