Today, we're diving into the ever-relevant topic of burnout, which has become a pervasive issue for many people. I want to unpack how personal traits such as perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and unrealistic self-expectations, can inadvertently contribute to our own risk of burnout. Of course there are external pressures from our workplaces; but it's important to look at how we interact with those pressures and the stories we're tell ourselves that are contributing to our chronic stress. We'll discuss the signs of burnout, the different forms it can take, and how it can manifest not just in our jobs, but in roles like parenting and caregiving. Tune in to reflect on your own unhelpful patterns, and to consider how you might take proactive steps to help you manage stress better and nurture your well-being.Takeaways:Burnout is a consequence of unresolved stress, resulting in feelings of exhaustion and detachment. It's crucial to recognise the personal traits that may contribute to chronic stress and burnout. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome and undiagnosed neurodivergence can significantly increase your risk of burnout. Understanding your own limits and setting realistic expectations can help prevent the downward spiral into burnout. Beyond Confident opening in July.

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.

The Power of SEO in Business: How to Use SEO to Build Visibility, Trust, and Efficiency SEO is not just about getting your website to rank on Google—it's about building a brand resume that shows you're a legitimate, trustworthy business. When you use SEO to optimize your business, you create an online presence that appears consistently across search results, helping potential clients see your brand multiple times and in various ways. This builds credibility, familiarity, and trust before they even click. What Is a Brand Resume—and Why It Matters for SEO A strong SEO strategy builds what you can think of as a brand resume—a digital footprint that proves you're a legitimate, professional business. When someone Googles your name or company, do they see just a single link? Or do they find your website, blog posts, podcast features, social media profiles, YouTube videos, and forum contributions all pointing to the same brand voice and value? That kind of visibility across channels creates an impression that you are established and credible. When you use SEO to optimize your business presence across platforms, you tell search engines—and potential clients—that you are not a one-off post or account. You're a brand worth trusting. You Don't Need to Stretch Yourself Too Thin You may have been told that every platform needs unique content, which can lead to burnout. The good news is you don't have to create something different for every platform. You can—and should—share the duplicate core content across all channels. Whether it's LinkedIn, Instagram, or your website, it's all about showing up consistently with a message that reflects your brand and value. This strategy doesn't just save you time—it helps you use SEO to optimize your business content in a way that builds authority and improves rankings. Reddit, Forums, and the New Word of Mouth Platforms like Reddit are goldmines for SEO-savvy business owners. Contributing to forums and threads where your target audience hangs out acts like digital word-of-mouth marketing. If you use SEO principles—like targeting keywords even in your replies and linking to helpful resources—you build authority with users and search engines.

 On this episode of All Bodies. All Foods., Ashley and Sam welcome guest Patrilie Hernandez to explore the eating disorder risk factor of food insecurity. According to the USDA, 13.5% of U.S. households reported experiencing food insecurity in 2023—a rise from 12.8% in 2022. Because food insecurity can contribute to the development of eating disorders, we felt it was essential to better understand this public health crisis in order to more effectively support those affected. It's important to recognize that individuals often do not have full control over whether they are food secure. Contributing factors can include income, access to community resources, housing location, knowledge of how to shop for and prepare food, and more. In this conversation, we unpack the systemic and personal contributors to food insecurity, how it intersects with eating disorders, and how individuals can advocate for and educate the systems around them.

In this episode, we discuss the gut-immune axis and Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a mechanistic focus on immune activation and epithelial barrier disruption. We detail contributing factors to and symptoms of SIFO. We further discuss the anatomical positioning and immunological functions of mast cells within the lamina propria, highlighting mast cell activation syndrome, while detailing how SIFO and SIBO can serve as upstream triggers for mast cell activation.Topics:1. The Gut-Immune Axis and Mast Cells - The intestinal epithelium forms the innermost selective barrier, coated in a protective mucus layer.- Immediately beneath lies the lamina propria, rich in immune cells including mast cells. 2. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria - Mast cells are positioned near nerves, capillaries, lymphatics, and epithelial cells within the lamina propria.- Their anatomical location enables rapid immune surveillance and inflammatory response.- Mast cell granules store histamine and more. 3. Mast Cell Mediators - Histamine: Biogenic amine, inflammatory signaling.- Tryptase: A serine protease.- Cytokines and lipid mediators also released upon activation. 4. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Systemic: skin, respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and more.- The gastrointestinal tract.- Common triggers for mast cell activation. 5. Transition to Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) - Overgrowth of fungal organisms, often candida species, within the small intestine.- Contributing factors including hypochlorhydria, slowed motility, immune suppression, disrupted bacterial populations.- Overlap: SIFO, SIBO  6. Hypochlorhydria and the Stomach's Defense Role - Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.- HCl denatures proteins and sterilizes ingested pathogens.- Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which becomes pepsin in acidic conditions to digest proteins.- Consequences of Reduced Gastric Acidity  7. The Role of Intestinal Motility - Enteric nervous system (ENS), myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Coordinated contractions preventing stasis and microbial overgrowth. 8. Common Symptoms of SIFO and clinical overlap with SIBO 9. Candida and Fungal Pathophysiology in the Gut - Yeast form, regulated by microbial competition and immune defenses.- Hyphal transformation.- Degrade the mucus layer, disrupt epithelial integrity, trigger inflammation. 10. Secretory IgA and Mucosal Defense - Chronic stress, immune dysfunction, dysbiosis can lower sIgA levels and weaken mucosal immunity. 11. SIFO, SIBO, and Mast Cell Activation  12.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I talk about the Supreme Court's decision to reject Minnesota's appeal of an Eighth Circuit decision striking down its age limit for carry permits, effectively clearing the way for young adults to carry guns in the state. We also talk about a new bill signed into law in Iowa this week that accomplishes the same thing for that state's residents. We then cover a new Fox poll showing more people disapprove of President Trump's handling of gun policy than approve in his first 100 days back in office. Finally, we wrap up with an update on my upcoming trip down to Atlanta to cover the NRA's annual meeting.

The "guessing game" continues over how New Zealand will be affected by new tariffs around the world. Data —due out tomorrow morning— is expected to show inflation has risen for the first time in almost three years. Contributing to that is the food price inflation rate, which has risen from 2.8% to 3.5% in just the past month. Foodstuffs North Island Managing Director Chris Quin told Mike Hosking two factors could push prices higher or lower. One is the availability of products, the other is global shipping patterns.

In this episode Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers discuss the intricacies of retirement fund contributions, tax benefits, and investment strategies for individuals nearing retirement answering your questions. They speak to the importance of understanding contribution limits, maximizing tax benefits, and the need for liquidity in retirement. Question: "Hello Honest Money team, I have a question regarding which in your opinion is the better long term (15 years or more) approach: Contributing more than R350k per year to your provident fund or only contributing up to R350k and putting the rest in to a tax free savings account? From my own research there seems to be merit in both, but I'm still unclear on what the optimal solution could be. I would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you and regards, Gert Kruger."TakeawaysYou can contribute up to 27.5% of your taxable income to retirement funds.Over-contributions to retirement funds can be rolled over for tax benefits.Tax-free savings accounts have strict contribution limits and penalties for over-contribution.Maximizing contributions to retirement funds is generally advisable for tax benefits.Liquidity is crucial in retirement for unexpected expenses and lifestyle choices.Flexibility in accessing funds is more valuable than strict tax efficiency.Diversification helps mitigate concentration risk in retirement planning.Endowments can be beneficial for high-income earners due to tax advantages.It's important to balance tax planning with overall investment strategy.Life events can impact financial decisions, so having accessible capital is essential.Learn more about Prescient Investment Management here.Send us a textHave a question for Warren?

When protesters converged this past weekend across America, they seized on two central villains: Donald Trump and Elon Musk. On this episode, host and Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones, along with executive editor Claire Howorth and Hive editor Michael Calderone, discuss how perceptions of Musk have radically shifted from rocket-building billionaire to government hatchet man and right-wing troll. Contributing editor Zoe Bernard joins the show to discuss how Musk's ethos reflects Silicon Valley and whether his more libertarian views on tariffs could hasten his exit from Washington.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

On Trump's 'liberation day' tariffs and the end of globalisation. [For the full episode, subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast] Contributing editor Lee Jones talks to Alex about the tariffs, as they try to reconstruct the Trump admin's thinking, and consider avenues and consequences. Why is this a retro-80s moment, and how much does China take the role that Japan used to in Trump's thinking? How much strategy is there to this? Is it possible to disentangle the competing logics? Is this a return to the 19th century: small state, no income tax, high tariff walls? How credible an attempt at reindustrialising the US is this? Is Trump trying to weaken the dollar?

Uglies® Kettle Chips are not your average snack. They represent a conscious and innovative approach to food production, transforming perfectly good, yet cosmetically imperfect, potatoes into a flavorful and satisfying treat. By embracing the "ugly" produce that often goes to waste, Uglies® Kettle Chips offer consumers a delicious way to contribute to a more sustainable food system while also supporting important social causes. The Story Behind the Imperfections: Upcycled Potatoes with Character At the heart of Uglies® Kettle Chips lies a commitment to utilizing upcycled potatoes. These are potatoes that, for various reasons, don't meet the strict aesthetic standards of some other food manufacturers. This doesn't mean they are any less nutritious or flavorful. Instead, these potatoes might have slight imperfections such as: Varied Sizes and Shapes: Some potatoes may be too small, too large, or have an irregular shape that doesn't fit the precise specifications of automated processing lines for other potato products. Diverse Colors: Natural variations in potato varieties can lead to subtle differences in skin or flesh color. While perfectly normal, these color variations might be deemed undesirable for products aiming for uniform appearance. Slight Blemishes: Minor surface imperfections, like small spots or bruises, that don't affect the quality or taste of the potato, can lead to them being rejected by manufacturers focused solely on flawless aesthetics. I Incorrect Sugar Content: Certain potato applications require specific sugar levels. Potatoes that fall slightly outside this narrow range, while still perfectly edible and delicious, might be deemed unsuitable for those particular uses. Farmer Surplus: Sometimes, farmers may have a surplus of high-quality potatoes that exceed the demands of their primary buyers. Uglies® provides a valuable outlet for this excess, preventing it from going to waste. Crucially, it's essential to understand what Uglies® potatoes are not. They are never diseased, rotting, or unripe. The selection process ensures that only wholesome, mature potatoes with minor cosmetic variations are used to create these flavorful kettle chips. Think of it as rescuing perfectly good ingredients that simply don't fit a narrow definition of "perfect." Embracing the "Ugly": Cosmetic Challenges, Exceptional Taste This unique sourcing of potatoes means that you might find some chips in your bag of Uglies® that have their own individual character. They might be slightly misshapen, have a darker edge, or display other minor cosmetic variations. However, these visual differences are a testament to the real, natural origins of the potatoes and have absolutely no impact on the exceptional taste and satisfying crunch that Uglies® Kettle Chips deliver. The brand embraces this inherent variability, reminding consumers that "beauty is in the eye of the chip holder!" This playful and honest approach encourages a shift in perspective, celebrating the inherent imperfections of natural food and highlighting the deliciousness that lies within. More Than Just a Snack: A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact Uglies® Kettle Chips go beyond providing a tasty snack; they embody a commitment to positive impact in several key areas: Supporting Farmers: By purchasing these "imperfect" potatoes, Uglies® provides farmers with a valuable market for produce that might otherwise be discarded or sold at a significantly lower price. This helps to support their livelihoods and reduce economic losses. Reducing Food Waste: Food waste is a significant global issue with environmental, economic, and social consequences. Uglies® actively combats this problem by rescuing perfectly edible potatoes and transforming them into a delicious snack. This reduces the strain on resources used in food production and minimizes the environmental impact of wasted food. Fighting Childhood Hunger: Uglies® is deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of children facing food insecurity. Through partnerships and initiatives, a portion of the proceeds from every bag of Uglies® Kettle Chips goes towards organizations dedicated to fighting childhood hunger. By choosing Uglies®, consumers are not only enjoying a great snack but also contributing to this vital cause. The Uglies® Difference: A Delicious Choice with a Conscience In a world where food is often judged by its flawless appearance, Uglies® Kettle Chips offer a refreshing and responsible alternative. They demonstrate that true quality and deliciousness are not solely defined by perfect aesthetics. By choosing Uglies®, you are: Enjoying a flavorful and satisfying kettle chip experience. Supporting sustainable food practices by reducing food waste. Empowering farmers by providing a market for their entire harvest. Contributing to the fight against childhood hunger. So, the next time you're looking for a snack, reach for a bag of Uglies® Kettle Chips. Embrace the "rough around the edges" appearance, savor the delicious taste, and feel good knowing that you're making a choice that's good for you, good for farmers, and good for the planet. Uglies® proves that sometimes, the most beautiful things are the ones that are a little bit different.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor about child amputees in Gaza, now estimated to number 3,000-4,000, the highest number of child amputees per inhabitant in the world. They discuss how Israel's denial of medical supplies leads to amputation and what it's like to be a doctor in Gaza, and they analyze the effect these devastating injuries will have on Palestinian society. Ahmed recently published a detailed piece on this topic in the Guardian (3/27/25): There are more child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world. What can the future hold for them? Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a 2025 Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. Peter Beinart is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York, a Contributing opinion writer at the New York Times, an Editor-at-Large at Jewish Currents, and an MSNBC Political Commentator.
