[26:57] Yoga is something in the past this podcast host (Greg Gazin) would have never considered. The way it's portrayed, it conjures up images of slim fit women who contort themselves into pretzels. But now I truly think different. I realize that Yoga is really for everybody. In fact I now practice it weekly and it's been transformational in terms of my well being. In today's episode we speak with Sharon McMullan-Baron, a yoga instructor but also a cancer survivor who I met through Wellspring Alberta.   Sharon's motto is: Remember to Live Simply, Speak Kindly, Care Deeply and Love Generously - and in this light-hearted episode, Sharon generously shares a little about her inspiring journey, how she discovered Yoga, what it has done for her and what it can do for you so you can take leadership of your mind, body and soul - regardless of age, gender or physical condition. Sharon dispels some of the myths about Yoga - how easy it is for anyone to do and how it's more than just a series of body movements. We learn about Wellspring - a no-cost, donor-funded, registered charity, community-based non-medical centre of support for cancer. Wellspring Alberta in Edmonton is where Sharon delivers her classes and has been instrumental in bringing her Yoga Thrive for cancer patients program to help them and their caregivers through challenging times. You'll also hear about how you can get started practising Yoga. Sharon shares resources - books, videos, names of people she admires in the Yoga world so you can check them out. . We also get a little hands-on Yoga practise you can do in real time while you are listening to the episode.   Resources mentioned: Wellspring Alberta and Wellspring (National) Book: Meditations from the Mat - Daily reflections on the Path of Yoga - Rolf gates and Katrina Kenison. Companion book : Meditations on Intention and Being - daily reflections on the path of Yoga, Mindfulness and Compassion by Rolf Gates Yoga teachers: Peggy Cappy - PBS programs for USA listeners, videos and books Susi Hately - Co-creator of Yoga Thrive - the hatha and restorative yoga program for those touched by cancer. Her website Functional Synergy has many resources. Yoga sutras by Patanjali. About Sharon Sharon McMullan-Baron has been teaching Yoga since 2009 focussing in the areas of Restorative Yoga and Hatha Yoga. Her certifications include Hatha Yoga, Yoga for the Low Back, Yoga Thrive for Cancer Patients, Healthy Breast, Tru North (a prostate cancer programme) Relax and Renew and more.  A cancer survivor herself, diagnosed in 2006, Sharon was instrumental in bringing, Yoga Thrive for cancer patients to the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton in 2010 and to Wellspring Edmonton when it opened its doors  Sharon strives to keep a balanced approach to every day.  When she's not on her mat, her survivorship includes a dedication to family and friends, extensive volunteer work, athletic, artistic and creative pursuits which may include wordsmithing poems and stories or playing with fabrics, creating quilts and other textile treasures. You can catch her on the bicycle or XC  ski trails, or out with her dog, if you can! Sharon lives in Edmonton, Alberta Canada and can be reached via email or via LinkedIn.

Pain is a predominant feature in the majority of functional gut disorders. The higher risk of anxiety and depression when coping with any chronic illness, including GI disorders, as well as anxiety and depression impacting symptoms and symptom perception in many GI conditions are all very important aspect of medical care. This week I interview Dr. Katia Tonkin on the role that cannabis plays in medical care – including in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and pain. Dr. Tonkin is a medical oncologist who worked at The Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton Alberta Canada for 20 years and in London, Ontario Canada for 6 years prior to that. She became interested in medical cannabis in 2016 as many patients started asking about cannabis. After researching into it, Dr. Tonkin felt cannabis was likely to help many patients with a wide variety of problems. She started treating patients in April 2017 and wants to contribute to clinical research to further medical knowledge into appropriate uses of medical cannabis, as well as educating health care providers on the proper use of cannabis. She works out of Optimum Wellness Center as well as other clinics as a medical prescriber. We talk about: Tonkin's background as a clinician and how they became interested in the role cannabis plays in medical care. What cannabis is. The components of the plant that have therapeutic impacts. The role of a medical prescriber. How cannabis, that is medically prescribed, differs from cannabis you might find in stores and why 'self medicating' is not the best strategy to realize the benefits of cannabis The conditions we have evidence for using cannabis with (including anxiety, depression and pain) How these overlaps with gastrointestinal disorders. How to find a medical prescriber. Connect with Dr. Katia Tonkin at Optimum Wellness Centres in Edmonton, Alberta.

Today my guest is Dr. Richard Berendt from Edmonton, Alberta.  He is consulting pathologist, at Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton AB.  He is also an elder in the United Church of God. He and his colleagues were awarded the 2022 HQCA (Health Quality Council of Alberta) Patient Experience Award.  We have been talking about the topic of TRUTH for some time.  Seeking, identifying, and sharing what is true – in any discipline or walk of life.  He gave an address to a congregation in Edmonton.  When I listened to it I told said to myself:  Dr. Berendt summarized extremely effectively. Most likely better than we could do in an interview.  So, I am sharing a major part of his message with you.   I'm sure you'll find this presentation thought provoking, insightful and relevant in the times we live.

Listen to a blog summary of a recently published research paper in Volume 13 of Oncotarget, entitled, "HDAC inhibitors suppress protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and DNA repair protein levels and phosphorylation status in hematologic cancer cells: implications for their use in combination with PARP inhibitors and chemotherapeutic drugs." _______________________________________ Chromatin constitutes chromosomes in eukaryotic cells and comprises DNA and proteins. Chromosomes produce proteins and enzymes that are essential for cellular function and maintenance, including DNA repair. A critical process for DNA repair is poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, or PARylation. PARylation is triggered by poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes. When DNA becomes damaged, PARP enzymes bind to the damaged location in the cell. In cancer cells, however, this natural process can be counterproductive in respect to cancer treatment. PARylation can produce DNA repair mechanisms in cancer cells that can lead to the evasion of cell death, and even drug resistance. Inhibiting PARylation may be a viable therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Histones, the main proteins that constitute chromatin, undergo post-translational modifications that regulate gene expression. Histone acetylation is an important epigenetic process that affects gene expression by relaxing the chromatin structure, making chromatin remodeling more feasible. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that can have the opposite effect. Histone deacetylation makes the chromatin more compact and difficult to remodel. The overexpression of HDAC has also been associated with tumorigenesis. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are a class of therapeutics that have shown promise in the treatment of hematologic malignancies (blood cancer) and solid tumors. In a new study, researchers Benigno C. Valdez, Yago Nieto, Bin Yuan, David Murray, and Borje S. Andersson from the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Cross Cancer Institute's Department of Experimental Oncology at the University of Alberta investigate the efficacy of HDACi in combination with PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and chemotherapeutic drugs to treat hematologic cancer. On October 14, 2022, their research paper was published in Volume 13 of Oncotarget, entitled, “HDAC inhibitors suppress protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and DNA repair protein levels and phosphorylation status in hematologic cancer cells: implications for their use in combination with PARP inhibitors and chemotherapeutic drugs.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2022/10/19/synergy-of-hdaci-parpi-and-chemotherapeutics-against-blood-cancer/ DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28278 Correspondence to - Benigno C.

Have you heard about radon before? A radioactive gas released from uranium decay, radon is found in any enclosed space where the building makes contact with soil. This means that homes, schools, workplace (unless you work outside) has radon! It's a tasteless, odorless, and invisible gas. Why should you care? The answer is easy: radon can result in lung cancer, and it's largely preventable by reducing exposure. Hence, we're calling it the "deadlier cousin" of the silent killer (a.k.a. carbon monoxide). Joining us today is Dr. Kelvin Young, a medical oncologist from the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, AB, Canada. He brings his area of expertise to explore the medical aspect of radon induced lung cancer, including chances of survival and treatment options. Tune in to learn the Canadian vs. the WHO radon limit, how we can prevent this with testing kits, and how soon to take action depending on your testing kit results. Do you remember or know Buffy the Vampire slayer? No, this is not a typo! Listen to the end to find out about why Dr. Young is so passionate about this vampiric classic.

This episode continues my series on consciousness—are we just biological robots? Following on from my exciting interview last week with quantum biophysicist Dr. Luca Turin, I dig further into competing quantum theories of consciousness.  The famous Sir Roger Penrose and his partner Stuart Hameroff have proposed the Orchestrated OR theory.  This theory posits a modification of the incomplete theory of quantum mechanics that underlies half of physics. They argue that consciousness arises from moments of wavefunction collapse that are objectively linked to certain aspects of quantum superpositions.  They further argue that biology has evolved a mechanism to orchestrate these wavefunction collapses in tiny subcellular structures called microtubules. My guest today has been doing experiments in the lab to determine if physical processes in microtubules respond to anesthetics. Professor Jack Tuszyński obtained his Ph.D. in condensed matter physics in 1983 from the University of Calgary. From 1983 to 1988 he was a faculty member at the Department of Physics of the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's. He moved to the University of Alberta in 1988 as an assistant professor, between 1990 to 1993 he was an associate and then full professor at the Department of Physics. Between 2005 and 2020 he has held the prestigious Allard Chair in Experimental Oncology at the Cross Cancer Institute where he leads an interdisciplinary computational drug discovery group. He is also a Fellow of the National Institute for Nanotechnology of Canada. He has held visiting professorship and research positions in China, Germany, France, Israel, Denmark, Belgium and Switzerland. He is widely published in the scientific literature providing frequent invited talks on his ground-breaking work.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood that begins in the bone marrow and progresses quickly if left untreated. AML can occur both in adults and children and is often treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Allo-HSCT is a procedure that replaces stem cells that were damaged or destroyed after radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment with stem cells from healthy donors. While allo-HSCT provides a high rate of curability in AML patients, the success of this procedure is partially dependent on the efficacy of pre-transplant treatment regimens. Researchers have identified an urgent need to determine new therapeutic approaches that provide better cytotoxicity in AML cells, without jeopardizing patient safety. To improve AML patient outcomes after allo-HSCT, researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Alberta's Cross Cancer Institute conducted a new study investigating the combinations of the BCL-inhibitor ABT199/venetoclax with two alkylating agents and a nucleoside analog. Their trending research paper was published by Oncotarget on February 10, 2022, and entitled, “ABT199/venetoclax potentiates the cytotoxicity of alkylating agents and fludarabine in acute myeloid leukemia cells.” “One such candidate drug is ABT199/venetoclax, a BH3-mimetic small molecule that binds to and inhibits the anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein, preferentially causing malignant cells to undergo apoptosis.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2022/02/17/trending-with-impact-new-pre-transplant-aml-treatment-combinations/ DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28193 Correspondence to - Benigno C.

Today we are going to have a fascinating discussion on how we all intuitively just know that each of us are being tracked. Today’s discussion is one of safety, personal privacy and security - and how there is a complete industry protecting our civil liberties in the digital world.  While our cell phones are powerful tools for saving photos and videos, they also contain a trove of personal data including contacts, location, message history, emails, and private login information.Capture this:  Each of our lives are stored our devicesTo that point, today’s guest is Todd  Ariss - the owner of GoDark Faraday. Todd had a traveling company and learned early on from many business travelers that were concerned about being hacked and tracked while traveling abroad.So how do you find the most reliable block to Cell, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS signals protection device? About Todd Ariss:Todd is the co-founder of Tarriss Travel Gear and the newest research and development division, GoDark Faraday Bags.The GoDark Faraday Bag journey has been a long journey tracking back to his early days as a physicist at the Cross Cancer Institute, followed by a joint project between the Centre for Subatomic Research and CERN - the center for nuclear research. In 2014, Todd created Tarriss Travel Gear so he could scratch an itch. After introducing the Jetsetter Digital Luggage Scale, one of the most popular and recognized luggage scales on the market, he ventured back to his interest in a signal-blocking from his work as a physicist, which ultimately led to developing the new GoDark Faraday Bag line of products today. On Today’s Episode You’ll Awaken to:Todd’s history and passion for creating this blackout device.Business travelers operating in some of the more authoritarian countries were aware their phones were being tracked and they were getting tired of constantly turning their phones off and all a dozen times a day. As Snowden pointed out, pretty much every country is trying their best to track every person they can. We decided to do something about that.The Fascinating journey to who the Faraday Bags Served:Our initial motivation was to serve business travelers, but soon realize there was a huge demand from a broad range of people and organizations.Journalists trying to protect their sources, or doing investigative reporting in places certain governments might not want them reporting. Think Reporters Without Borders who investigate in hotspots around the world.Activists trying to not get swept up in IMSI Catchers. Fake cell phone towers that allow law enforcement to roll up near a crowd with a fake cell tower in a briefcase that essentially routes all calls within a small area through the IMSI catcher in the police car allowing the officer to collect a list of every cell phone, and cell phone owner, in the area. Law enforcement uses them to build lists of people peacefully exercising their right to protest. These lists can be used to profile people based on simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In a vast majority of the time, these IMSI catchers are being used without a warrant of any kind. This has been an ongoing legal battle for a few years now.Military units from around the world are frequent customers. It’s hard to be a special forces person sneaking around when your electronics are broadcasting your position. The durability, and water and puncture-resistant nature of the bag, make it a popular choice as well as the security seal.Law Enforcement uses GoDark Bags in their police cruisers. When a suspect is arrested one of the first things they do is secure their cell phone but using  GoDark Bag to ensure no one can remotely access the phone and wipe any important evidence.Privacy Conscious Consumers are our biggest single segment of users. Even among this group the use cases are quite varied and range from people avoiding tech-savvy stalkers to those wanting to avoid warrantless cell phone tracking from tech companies, law enforcement, and government.Health Conscious - there are some health-conscious people who have become concerned about potential health concerns from EMF from our phones. Taking Back Personal Privacy and Security in a Digital WorldYou own your electronics and you're ultimately responsible for them, therefore you should have the ability to control when they transmit and receive electromagnetic signals.  Resources:For more information go to: https://www.stopspying.org/covid19SHOP PERSONAL POWER WITH GODARK FARADAY HERE: https://godarkbags.com/AwakenBeauty  20% until end of AprilAwakenFaraday 10% after end of AprilShare the Love:If you like The Awakened Beauty Podcast…Subscribe, Rate & Review via iTunesVisit us at awakenedbeautyhq.com for updates.Businesses: www.evoqbeauty.com | www.beautyecology.comInstagram @awakenbeautyhqInstagram @evoqbeautyWatch on YouTube at my channel: Awaken Beauty PodcastShop natural health and beauty products with EVOQHere’s how!Go to AwakenBeauty-hq on ITunes and write your biggest takeaway in the rate and review section.

In this episode, Mark and Curtis are in Edmonton Alberta with archaeologist and author Jack Brink. Jack was instrumental in helping uncover and tell the story of Aboriginal communal bison hunting at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is situated in the Porcupine Hills in southern Alberta. Jack discusses how bison were coaxed over the deadly jump using highly sophisticated hunting methods involving trickery, mimicry and an unrivaled understanding of bison behavior. Jack explains how the animals were processed at the butchering grounds and what a monumental task that was. We chat about what the best season was for driving bison to the buffalo jump, what specific animals were preferred as food, how long the jump was in use and why it came to an end. We also learn why Head-Smashed-In was the largest single gathering of food in the history of humankind.   Show Notes:  Jack's book: Imaging Head-Smashed-In. Aboriginal Buffalo Hunting on the Northern Plains. Athabasca University Press. Jack W. Brink 4th printing 2017.  The proceeds from Jack's book goes to the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Alberta.
