Podcasts about emerging science

In this episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of mitochondria and their essential role in cardiovascular health and longevity. We break down what makes mitochondria so pivotal, exploring how different “mitotypes” exist across the body and why supporting these tiny energy powerhouses is the real key to long-term health. By connecting the dots between lifestyle, diet, and emerging science, including the groundbreaking concept of mitochondrial transfer, we uncover why keeping your mitochondria healthy may be far more important than focusing solely on cholesterol levels.We also get personal, sharing an eye-opening story about rethinking cardiovascular risk and statin use, advocating instead for everyday actions like consistent exercise, whole foods, and limiting processed sugars and seed oils. We walk you through how your body can actually repair and revitalize its mitochondria with the right changes, discuss the latest on supplements like urolithin A and spermidine, and shed light on the new frontiers of mitochondrial transplantation for harder-to-treat heart conditions.If you found these insights valuable, be sure to share this episode with someone who's serious about optimizing their health and longevity. Stay tuned for more practical wisdom and the latest science.

I'll be okay," Haruki quietly reassured himself, deciding not to say anything to Yuna.Ja: お姉さんの由奈は大学生で、晴樹をよく気遣ってくれる存在です。En: His sister, Yuna, was a university student who often looked after him.Ja: でも今日は、彼は自分の力で楽しみたいと思っていました。En: But today, he wanted to enjoy the day on his own strength.Ja: やがて、二人はインタラクティブな展示の前に立ち止まりました。En: Eventually, the two stopped in front of an interactive exhibit.Ja: 「すごいね！」由奈は目を輝かせながら言いました。En: "This is amazing!" Yuna said with sparkling eyes.Ja: しかし、晴樹の呼吸はさらに苦しくなって来ました。En: However, Haruki's breathing became even more difficult.Ja: 彼は一生懸命に辛さを隠していましたが、体が言うことを聞いてくれません。En: He tried hard to hide his discomfort, but his body wouldn't cooperate.Ja: 急に彼は立っているのが大変になり、ひざをつくと、苦しそうに息を吸いました。En: Suddenly, he found it hard to stand and dropped to his knees, struggling to breathe.Ja: 「晴樹！大丈夫？」由奈はすぐに弟に駆け寄りました。En: "Haruki! Are you okay?" Yuna immediately rushed to her brother.Ja: 彼女は慌てて人々の間をかき分け、助けを呼びに行きました。En: She hurriedly parted the crowd and went to call for help.Ja: すぐにスタッフが駆け付け、晴樹にインヘーラーを渡しました。En: Soon, staff arrived and handed Haruki an inhaler.Ja: 「ゆっくり吸って」とスタッフが優しく声を掛けます。En: "Breathe slowly," the staff gently advised.Ja: その後、ベンチに座り、落ち着きを取り戻した晴樹は、静かになった展示室で由奈に向かって「ごめんね、由奈」と小さな声で言いました。En: Afterward, sitting on a bench and regaining his composure, Haruki quietly said to Yuna, "I'm sorry, Yuna."Ja: 由奈は弟の手を優しく握り返し、「晴樹が無事でよかった。En: She gently squeezed his hand back and smiled, saying, "I'm just glad you're okay, Haruki.Ja: それが一番大事だよ。」と微笑みました。En: That's the most important thing."Ja: その瞬間、晴樹は大切なことに気付きました。En: At that moment, Haruki realized something important.Ja: 「自分の健康を無視してはいけない。En: "I shouldn't ignore my health.Ja: 由奈は、いつも僕のことを大事に思ってくれているんだ。」En: Yuna always cares deeply about me."Ja: そう思うと、彼は安心感に包まれました。En: With that thought, he felt wrapped in a sense of relief.Ja: 帰り道、由奈は「また一緒に来ようね」と笑い、晴樹も「うん！」と元気に答えました。En: On the way home, Yuna laughed and said, "Let's come again together," to which Haruki cheerfully replied, "Yeah!"Ja: 二人の中には、強い絆がありました。En: Between the two of them, there was a strong bond.Ja: 新たな決意を胸に、寒さの中でも二人は心温まる一日を過ごしました。En: With a renewed determination in their hearts, they spent a heartwarming day despite the cold.Ja: 未来館の魅力と共に、新年の始まりを感じながら、二人は家路につくのでした。En: Feeling the allure of the Miraikan and the beginning of the new year, they headed back home.

Once again, there are many possibilities, all consistent with the data. Some with a lot more metal, some with less. And the difference is a measure of uncertainties. This enables us to know where we should collect information next, where we should drill the next hole, and when we can stop drilling and actually start building a mine.再一次，我们面对的是许多种可能性，而这些可能性都与现有数据相符。有些含有更多金属，有些则更少。而这种差异，正是我们对不确定性的衡量。这让我们能够判断下一步该在哪里收集信息、在哪里钻下一个孔，以及什么时候可以停止钻探，转而真正开始建矿。To build the mine of the future, we continue to contend with this uncertainty. The industry designs an entire mine based on a single model. We're developing KoBold mine, a mine-design optimization tool that looks at the many possible mine designs against the many possible ore body geometries that we talked about earlier. This enables the best decisions about how much ore we're going to mine, how much waste we're going to produce, how much water we'll use, the cash flows, and so on.为了建造未来的矿山，我们必须继续应对这种不确定性。矿业行业往往是基于单一模型去设计整个矿山。而我们正在开发 KoBold Mine——一种矿山设计优化工具，它会结合我们之前提到的各种可能的矿体几何结构，来对比和评估多种矿山设计方案。这使我们能够做出最优决策，比如将开采多少矿石、会产生多少废料、需要多少用水、现金流如何等等。This enables the best mine planning decisions about where to put permanent infrastructure, like a shaft. Where the traffic and the tunnels will be placed so we can make efficient decisions, and also how we can maximize the ore and the metal we get and minimize the waste. This technology will move into mine operations to help guide day-to-day decisions for efficiencies.这还使我们能在矿山规划中做出最佳决策，例如永久性基础设施（如竖井）应该放在哪里，交通路线和隧道应该如何布局，以便做出高效的选择。同时还能帮助我们最大化矿石和金属的产出，并将废料最小化。这项技术最终会被应用到矿山运营中，用来指导日常决策，提升效率。Better predictions don't just mean profitability. It means a safer mine, knowing where the rocks are weaker. It means an environmentally sustainable mine so we can lessen our impact on the environment. And it also means a resilient mine with cash flows to support local communities and businesses through different commodity pricing cycles.更好的预测不仅仅意味着更高的盈利，它还意味着矿山的安全性更高，因为我们能知道哪些地方的岩石更脆弱。它意味着更具环境可持续性的矿山，从而减少对环境的影响。它也意味着矿山具备更强的韧性，能够在不同商品价格周期中，依然保持现金流，进而支持当地社区和企业的发展。Our Mingomba project in Zambia will be the mine of the future. It's being designed and developed by amazing talent from around the world, including Zambians and Africans like myself. We face the reality that our need for these materials will continue to grow because our lifestyles are going to advance and they're going to demand for it. So the mining industry must ensure they transform so we can become responsible miners and build better mines with better technology. Asante and thank you.我们在赞比亚的明贡巴（Mingomba）项目将成为未来的矿山。它正在由来自世界各地的杰出人才设计和开发，其中也包括像我这样的赞比亚人和非洲人。我们必须面对一个现实：对这些资源的需求将会持续增长，因为我们的生活方式在不断进步，而进步本身就会带来需求。因此，矿业必须确保自身实现转型，让我们能够成为负责任的矿工，利用更先进的技术去建设更好的矿山。Asante！（谢谢）非常感谢大家。

The incumbent industry deals with this problem by ignoring it. They pick one possible answer and act like the other ones don't exist. And as a result, we design suboptimal mines, make suboptimal decisions, often mining unnecessary material.现有的矿业行业处理这个问题的方式是忽视它。他们只选择一个可能的答案，然后假装其他可能性不存在。结果就是，我们设计出的矿山并不理想，做出的决策也并不优化，经常还会开采大量不必要的物料。We've invented a different way. We collect all the possibilities consistent with the data measured, and we do this by simulating the physical response of each of the arrangement of rocks. We do this 10,000 times faster by training an AI to learn the relevant physics of the rock beneath, in the time it takes the conventional method to test one. That means we collect better data, we make better predictions of where to look next. So if you had a rock body and a rock body that's denser than material around it, you might drill through the middle of it. But if you have all the hundreds of thousands of possible solutions, the best thing you can do is to collect data where you're the most uncertain and rigorously eliminate as many possibilities as possible. This enables us to maximize the information we get for every dollar we spend, and we do this repeatedly so we can quantify our uncertainties.我们发明了一种不同的方法。我们会收集所有与测量数据相符的可能性，并通过模拟各种岩石组合的物理反应来实现这一点。借助人工智能学习地下岩石相关物理特性，我们的速度比传统方法快上 10,000 倍——在传统方法只能测试一个的时间里，我们能完成成千上万次模拟。这意味着我们能收集到更好的数据，进而对下一步的勘探地点做出更好的预测。比如，如果你发现一个岩体，其密度大于周围的物质，你可能会选择直接在它的中间钻探。但如果你手上有成千上万种可能的解决方案，最明智的做法就是在最不确定的地方收集数据，并尽可能严格地排除掉不可能的情况。这让我们能够最大化每一美元投入所获得的信息，并且我们会不断重复这一过程，从而量化我们的不确定性。Even after we've made an ore body discovery, we still have to contend with this uncertainty. We have to define the size and shape of this ore body. Let me illustrate how difficult this is. So now, 1,000 meters below your feet, you drilled, you sampled the rock and you determined that it has five percent copper. So now you know, you've got your data point and your observation. Now, I ask you to make a prediction of the concentration of copper of the person sitting next to you.即便我们发现了一个矿体，仍然需要面对这种不确定性。我们必须界定这个矿体的大小和形状。让我来说明这有多困难。假设现在你在脚下 1000 米处钻探，取出了岩石样本，并测定其铜含量为 5%。到这里，你得到了一条数据点和一个观测结果。接下来，我让你预测一下：坐在你旁边的人脚下 1000 米处的铜含量是多少？What would your prediction be and how confident would you be in your prediction? What about across the room? Think of any person across this room and try to predict 1,000 meters below them. What about in the next building or the next city? This is the vast challenge that we face. We've only sampled a tiny fraction of rock, collected several football fields apart from each other, for which we're trying to make predictions of all the rock properties in between.你的预测会是什么？你对这个预测有多少信心？那么房间另一头呢？想象一下房间那头的某个人，试着预测他脚下 1000 米处的铜含量。那隔壁大楼呢？或者下一座城市呢？这就是我们面临的巨大挑战。我们只采集了极少量的岩石样本，而且这些样本之间相隔相当于几个足球场的距离，却要用这些数据去预测其间所有岩石的属性。This technology has helped us move fast in Zambia, where I come from, to design and develop a mine based on our predictions for which we've only sampled a tiny fraction of rock.这种技术已经帮助我们在我来自的赞比亚快速推进，仅凭极少量的岩石样本和我们的预测，就能够设计并开发出一座矿山。

So we need to look deeper. Controversially, we've been taught that these materials will run out. We don't lack ore body deposits. We lack information of where they lie. So if you had a crystal ball, you'd just look into it and start digging out the rocks that are the best and generate the least waste. But we don't have a crystal ball. So the thing that we should do is make predictions of where these materials lie.所以我们需要向更深处探索。一直以来，存在一种争议性的说法：这些矿产资源会枯竭。但实际上，我们并不缺少矿体，我们缺少的是关于它们分布位置的信息。如果你有一个水晶球，只要看一眼，就能直接去挖掘那些品质最好、废料最少的矿石。但现实是我们没有水晶球，所以我们必须依靠预测，推断这些矿产究竟分布在哪里。My colleagues and I at KoBold are doing what the industry has neglected to do. We aim to predict everything, quantify what we don't know and collect information efficiently. So we're all going to try that right now. I want you to predict 1,000 meters below your feet what the concentration of copper is right where you're sitting. I want you to predict how hard it is, how fractured it is, what's its density? We aim to predict all these things and more. We're developing machine learning technologies that help us predict all of this and rigorously quantify our uncertainties in these predictions. So what does this look like in practice?我和在 KoBold 的同事们正在做这个行业长期忽视的事情。我们的目标是尽可能预测一切，将未知进行量化，并高效地收集信息。现在我想让你们也来尝试一下：试着预测你脚下 1000 米深处的铜浓度是多少？它的硬度如何？裂隙程度怎样？密度又是多少？我们希望能够预测所有这些，甚至更多。为此，我们正在开发机器学习技术，帮助我们完成这些预测，并严格地量化预测中的不确定性。那么，这在实际操作中会是什么样子呢？When we're exploring for mines, we often fly aircraft thousands of kilometers across the Earth to try collect information such as the Earth's magnetism, its gravitational field, that tells us something about the rocks beneath. But there's a problem. For everything that we're looking at, there are going to be an infinite number of possibilities. And that's because we're building three-dimensional models to fit two-dimensional data. So if a body was smaller and closer to the surface or larger and further away, the measurement would be the same. So this body will also fit the data. And will this one, and this one, and many more.当我们进行矿产勘探时，通常会驾驶飞机在地球上飞行数千公里，以收集数据，例如地球的磁场和引力场信息，这些数据能告诉我们地表下岩石的一些特征。但这里有一个问题：我们观察到的每一个现象，都可能对应无数种可能的解释。这是因为我们用二维数据去构建三维模型。举例来说，如果一个矿体比较小但更接近地表，或者比较大但埋得更深，它们的测量结果可能完全一样。所以，这个矿体可以匹配数据，而另一个也可以，再一个也行，还有更多。

I was born and raised in Zambia, a country known for its rich copper mining history. Alignment of the stars meant that by birth and by science, I became a miner. Everything we build and use was either grown or mined. From the walls to the windows, the tables and the chairs, your phones, your computers, the stage, my copper earrings and maybe your jewelry.我在赞比亚出生并长大，这个国家以丰富的铜矿开采历史闻名。命运与科学的安排，使我自然而然成为了一名矿工。我们建造和使用的一切，要么是种出来的，要么是挖出来的。从墙壁到窗户，从桌子到椅子，从你的手机到电脑，从舞台到我戴的铜耳环，甚至可能还有你的首饰。So today when we talk about building a circular economy, we mean we need to electrify everything. Our economies will have cars and trucks, robots, drones and aircraft powered by batteries. Our children will need computers in all schools with equal access, and we'll have data centers full of advanced chips to bring us AI, all sourced by abundant sources of renewable energy. The raw materials we'll need will be recyclable so we can become clean and circular. So that means a lot more lithium, copper, cobalt, nickel and others. So we need to build more than 400 new mines by 2040 for us to become circular.所以今天当我们谈论构建循环经济时，意思是我们必须让一切实现电气化。我们的经济体系将拥有由电池驱动的汽车和卡车、机器人、无人机和飞机。我们的孩子们将在所有学校里都能平等地使用电脑，而我们也会有充满先进芯片的数据中心来为我们带来人工智能，而这一切都将依赖丰富的可再生能源。我们所需要的原材料必须是可回收的，这样我们才能实现清洁和循环。因此，这意味着需要更多的锂、铜、钴、镍以及其他矿物。到 2040 年，我们需要建立超过 400 座新矿山，才能实现循环经济。But before you can build a mine, you have to find the raw materials. The thing is, today's mining industry leaders are doing too little to advance our qualities of life. In other industries that rely on discovery for growth, like pharmaceuticals and technology, for every dollar they return to shareholders, they spend about a dollar in R and D. In mining, however, for every dollar returned to shareholders, less than a penny is spent in exploration. With such underinvestment, it shouldn't surprise you that the technology used in exploration and mining has barely advanced. In fact, we've gotten ten times worse in the last 30 years at making ore body discoveries.但在你建矿之前，首先必须找到原材料。问题在于，当今的矿业领袖们在提升我们的生活质量方面做得太少。在其他依赖发现推动增长的行业，比如制药业和科技行业，每返还一美元给股东，他们大约会投入一美元用于研发。然而在矿业中，每返还一美元给股东，用于勘探的投入却不到一分钱。在如此严重的投资不足下，你不应该对矿业勘探和开采技术几乎毫无进步感到惊讶。事实上，在过去 30 年里，我们在发现矿体方面的效率已经降低了十倍。But there's good news. The vast majority of ore deposits are still out there waiting to be found. They're just harder to find. Of all the past mines we know of, they were easy because they were poking out of the surface and they were near the surface.但好消息是，绝大多数矿床仍然存在，正等待我们去发现。只是它们变得更难寻找了。我们已知的那些过去的矿山之所以容易发现，是因为它们要么直接露出地表，要么距离地表非常近。

Your smartphone, computer and electric car all depend on one thing — critical minerals buried deep underground. But there's a catch: the mining industry has gotten dramatically worse at discovering new deposits just when we need them most, says mining innovator Mfikeyi Makayi. She introduces new AI-powered technology that could fix this problem by predicting mineral locations 10,000 times faster than conventional methods and transforming an industry essential to a sustainable future.

When Alex sent me the article about a Cybersex club as background to this episode's discussion, I was sold on the idea immediately. The sex industry has always been a part of society. For as long as communities have existed, sex has been traded in one form or another. Sex is the vehicle through which society grows, quite literally.Sex motivates and inspires and innovates. Sex pushes boundaries in ways most sectors cannot fathom.However sex and the sex industry must adhere to very specific rules if they are to operate in a law-abiding society and the first rule is legal consent.Here are some links Alex wanted to share:The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny, by Laura Bates (reading her books in general is a good idea, as she has evolved into an excellent resource for fighting misogyny).https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9781471190483/the-new-age-of-sexismYour Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and The Emerging Science of Addiction, by Gary Wilson (this book is ten years old but is a good fence-post of significant research, even if I do not agree with all of it).https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9780993161605/your-brain-on-pornTakedown: Inside The Fight To Shut Down Pornhub for Child Abuse, Rape, and Sex Trafficking, by Laila Mickelwait.(This is only available in Kindle or Audio format)https://amzn.eu/d/e0cqrdMI can be found here, if anyone is nuts enough to want to talk to me.https://bsky.app/profile/underdark.mediaI welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at:Instagram: TwoandaMicTwitter: TwoandaMic1Should I really have to ask?

In their discussion of the struggle with the passions and in particular those associated with the bodily appetites and what we experienced through the senses, the fathers do not neglect to show us the effect that our thoughts and our lack of watchfulness can have upon the unconscious. Certain images and ideas will emerge from our dreams and often take on a form that can be agitating or of a subject matter that is disturbing spiritually. The fathers want us to understand that we are not morally culpable for what arises during the night in our dreams nor can the Evil One directly influence what happens because of our dreams such as nocturnal emissions. Yet, are not to ruminate upon the meaning or the content of these dreams during the day. To do so is to open ourselves “daydreaming”, where we openly allow ourselves to think about images thoughts and ideas that came to mind during the night. Such rumination then can be a source of temptation for us. It is best to set such thoughts aside and focus on fostering temperance and love. As long as we are focused upon God then what arises out of the unconscious will eventually be healed as well. However, if we are slothful or worse prideful we become more subject to the effects of such a dreams or their frequency will become more prominent in our life because of our lack of spiritual discipline. In Hypothesis XXXII, our attention is drawn toward the work of contrition. Saint Gregory tells us that contrition manifest itself in many forms of spiritual beauty. This is striking if only because of the negative connotation that the word contrition sometimes holds. Saint Gregory tells us that ultimately it is a path to beauty, goodness and love. When a soul first seeks after God at the outset it feels contrition out of fear. It is humbled by the depths of its poverty and how contrary this is to that which is good and to our essential dignity. Tears begin to flow and as they do the soul begins to develop a certain courage in the spiritual life and is warmed by a desire for heavenly joy. The soul which shortly before wept from the fear that it might be condemned, eventually weeps bitterly simply because of how far it perceives itself from the kingdom of heaven. As the soul is cleansed, however, it clearly beholds before it what the choirs of angels are and the splendor that belongs to these blessed spirits. Ultimately, the soul begins to behold the vision of God himself. One then weeps for joy as it waits to experience this vision in its fullness. When perfect contrition emerges then the soul's thirst for God is satiated; tears now turning in to the living waters of the kingdom. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:11:02 Lorraine Green: Fr., can you take a Mass request?  Where would we send that is so?  And the stipend? 00:11:33 Suzanne Romano: Reacted to I've got a (pet) rab... with "

Alison Wood Brooks is one of the leading voices in understanding the science of human conversation, and her latest book, Talk - The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves, explores just how complex, delicate, and transformative our daily interactions can be. As a professor at Harvard Business School, Alison has spent years studying the psychology behind dialogue - why some conversations feel effortless while others fall flat, how we navigate social dynamics, and why even the simplest exchanges can shape our relationships and success. In our conversation, we explore the difference between Q&A and true dialogue, the often-overlooked art of reading the room, and the skills that can make or break an interaction. Alison shares insights on the role of AI in companionship, the way egocentrism naturally seeps into our conversations, and why teaching conversational skills is more critical than ever in a digital-first world. We also discuss the post-Covid social shift, the importance of face-to-face interactions, and how conversational missteps - something we all experience - can actually strengthen relationships if handled the right way. Her TALK Maxims (Topics, Asking, Levity, Kindness) offer a simple yet powerful framework for improving everyday communication, whether in personal relationships, business, or even in navigating difficult discussions. If you've ever struggled with what to say, when to say it, or how to be a better conversationalist, this episode will help you rethink the way you talk... and listen. Enjoy the conversation...

In this episode, part of a special collaboration between ACM ByteCast and the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)'s For Your Informatics podcast, Sabrina Hsueh hosts accessibility researcher and inventor Chieko Asakawa, an IBM Fellow at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, the Chief Executive Director of The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Japan, and an IBM Distinguished Service Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Chieko's inventions include the Home Page Reader (HPR); a word processor for Braille documents; a digital library for Braille documents; an application to improve accessibility of streaming services; and, most recently, the AI Suitcase project. Her career has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards and honors, including becoming the first Japanese woman IBM Fellow in 2009, receiving the “Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon” from the Emperor of Japan in 2013, her induction into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2019, being named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, and the ACM SIGACCESS Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computing and Accessibility in 2024. In the interview, Chieko shares how becoming blind early in life led her to work in accessibility research. She talks about her IBM team's work on the Home Page Reader, the first practical voice browser to provide effective internet access for blind and visually impaired computer users, as well as more recent work on the AI suitcase, a robot that helps visually impaired people walk around and navigate independently. Chieko and Sabrina touch on AI's potential in aiding accessibility and the inspiration for the AI Suitcase. She offers advice and best practices for both early and mid-career researchers and interdisciplinary professionals.

Once again, my first thought at the end of this group is “Revolution“.  When read in the context of all that we have considered from The Evergetinos to date and from St. John Climacus, our entire way of viewing reality is being challenged, overthrown, or illuminated. One begins to see that our capacity as Christians to read and hear the Gospel, let alone the writings of the fathers, has been compromised. We have been formed in and by an atheistic secular culture.  That culture has permeated the Church in modern times in ways that we cannot even comprehend.  God has revealed himself to us; not only the depth of his love and compassion, but also the reality of sin and the struggle that remains for us within this world.  We cannot understand the danger of fornication and lust to our salvation unless we come to understand the importance of purity of heart. God has created us for Himself, in His image and likeness, and our desire must be directed toward Him if we are to experience the fulfillment of the deepest longings of the human heart - let alone the right ordering of our bodily desires. Thus, our lust or fornication is not simply a moral infraction or a negative view of human sexuality but evidence of an idolatry of the self and so adultery in regard to our relationship with God - infidelity in regard to the Heavenly Bridegroom who has given Himself to us completely. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:22:39 Bob Cihak, AZ: P. 195, # A 00:31:49 Myles Davidson: There's a book called Your Brain On Porn about the brain changes that happen 00:35:05 Myles Davidson: Yes, its a book… Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00N2AH8NW?ref_=mr_referred_us_au_nz 00:43:58 Myles Davidson: John Cassian does a good job of outlining the difference between abstinence and chastity (Conference 12) 00:49:41 Forrest Cavalier: If they are unrepentant in a state of mortal sin, the attempt to be married will fail. 00:55:26 Anna Lalonde: Yes!

We think of aging as a normal consequence of getting older, but looked at a different way, aging can be seen as a disease — driven by upstream factors such as what we eat and think, the quality of our relationships and microbiome, exposure to toxins and allergens, and so on. The takeaway that Dr. Mark Hyman and Jeff discuss today: You don't have to age the way you see so prevalent in modern society.

Donald Hoffman is back on Know Thyself today to explore the constraints of time and space, and how they shape our understanding of the world around us. He discusses the "headset analogy" - the idea that our senses act as a kind of cognitive filter, preventing us from directly perceiving the true nature of reality. Donald delves into the paradoxes found in various mathematical theorems, and his newest research on "conscious agents" and how it relates to the Gaia hypothesis. The significance of mystical experiences and their potential to reveal truths about the nature of reality is also covered. Hoffman also opens up about his thoughts on reincarnation, the relationship between science and spirituality, and the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming truly conscious.

He is a professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science. Hoffman studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. His research subjects include facial attractiveness, the recognition of shape, the perception of motion and color, the evolution of perception, and the mind–body problem. He has co-authored two technical books; Observer Mechanics: A Formal Theory of Perception (1989) offers a theory of consciousness and its relationship to physics; Automotive Lighting and Human Vision (2005) applies vision science to vehicle lighting. His book Visual Intelligence: How We Create What We See (1998) presents the modern science of visual perception to a broad audience. His 2015 TED Talk, "Do we see reality as it is?" argues that our perceptions have evolved to hide reality from us.

In this episode , I speak to Nathan Price, PhD, co-author with Leroy Hood of The Age of Scientific Wellness. Nathan is Chief Scientific Officer of Thorne and was previously CEO of Onegevity, an AI health intelligence company that merged with Thorne prior to its IPO in 2021. We discuss a wide range of topics and questions, including: There is a seeming contradiction between the dramatic success of the 20th century model of healthcare and the realization that it is ineffective in meeting the challenges of the 21st century. What has happened? In your book, you state that the future of medicine is personalized, predictive, data rich and in your hands. Can you explain? You make a bold prediction in your book: We are on the cusp of time when we will have the capacity to begin to eliminate most chronic diseases of our time, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic diseases. Is this realistic? A growing number of self-declared health care providers take advantage of the situation by promoting quackery and snake oil approaches. What will it take to make an end to this proliferation of fake healthcare? A major challenge of implementing the transition to a new personalized healthcare system is the successful business model of the current system (The Medical Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex), which makes billions of $$ in corporate and individual profits by keeping people alive without preventing or curing their diseases. How can we meet this challenge?

“Wonder, the mental state of openness, questioning, curiosity, and embracing mystery, arises out of experiences of awe. In our studies, people who find more everyday awe show evidence of living with wonder." ― Dacher Keltner, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life I am thrilled to announce that our new book, the Kindness Daily Reader: Season One, will be available from July 1, 2024. Secondly, we are embarking on a new chapter with Season Three of the One Kind Moment podcast. In Season One, we primarily focused on broad topics of kindness and compassion, while in Season Two, we explored areas such as self-compassion, self-help, and self-care. Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. #onekindmoment #practicalspirituality #awe Yesterday by John Hobart - Music Design by Jason Inc. https://brucewaynemclellan.com/

The esteemed Dr. Leonard Sax joins us this week to share his expertise on how sex differences impact child-rearing, parenting, and education. We begin with a discussion of biological differences between male and female brains, particularly when it comes to sense perception, which can lead to misunderstandings between the sexes. Dr. Sax highlights the importance of understanding these differences in order to optimize children's learning and home environments.The conversation then shifts to the topic of gender atypicality and how parents and educators might embrace the richness and complexity of the human experience, allowing children to explore their interests and preferences without being labeled transgender.We discuss the challenges faced by boys in today's society, including the growing gender gap in academic achievements, and how teachers can cater to the unique developmental needs of both sexes in co-ed schools.Dr. Sax provides practical advice for parents and educators on how to navigate sex differences and create a culture of respect and understanding. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diversity of gender expression, while also respecting biological differences.Leonard Sax MD PhD is a board-certified family physician and PhD psychologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Over the past 22 years, he has visited more than 500 schools across the United States and worldwide, speaking to parents about many topics including social media, video games, and gender issues. He also leads workshops for teachers on gender-aware instructional strategies, on building a culture of respect, and on dealing with difficult parents. He has published four books for parents: Why Gender Matters, Boys Adrift, Girls on the Edge, and The Collapse of Parenting, which was a New York Times bestseller. Dr. Sax graduated Phi Beta Kappa at age 19 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and went on to earn both a Ph.D. in psychology and an M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Sax lives with his wife and teenage daughter in Pennsylvania. Visit his website at leonardsax.com.Dr. Sax's four books can all be found in my bookshop or via these Amazon affiliate links below.

You've probably heard the buzz about melatonin. Whether it's your neighbor who swears it's the secret to their sound sleep or the endless articles touting its myriad health benefits, melatonin is having a moment. And for a good reason. It's a crucial component of your circadian rhythm, which not only regulates sleep but most aspects of your health. Though I've titled this post as a "complete guide," it's written for the average person who's interested in improving their health without needing to delve too deep into scientific research. For those who enjoy reading research, I strongly recommend reading Is Melatonin the “Next Vitamin D”?: A Review of Emerging Science, Clinical Uses, Safety, and Dietary Supplements. Some friends and colleagues are the authors, and I don't know that I've ever come across such a comprehensive publication about this hormone. As for this article, I'll get deep enough for you to appreciate melatonin's role in your health and provide enough answers that you should be able to share its value with friends and family when the topic comes up. What is Melatonin? Melatonin is a hormone, a chemical messenger in your body. Produced primarily in your pineal gland—a tiny organ in your brain—melatonin is your body's natural "sleep hormone."Reiter, R. J., Tan, D. X., Kim, S. J., & Manchester, L. C. (2014). Melatonin: A multitasking molecule. Progress in Brain Research, 181, 127–151. But it's is more than just a sleep hormone; it's a fascinating chemical. Officially known as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, melatonin has a specific structure that allows it to easily cross cell membranes and even the blood-brain barrier.Zisapel, N. (2018). New perspectives on the role of melatonin in human sleep, circadian rhythms, and their regulation. British Journal of Pharmacology, 175(16), 3190–3199. This unique trait is what enables it to have such widespread effects on the body. While your body produces its own melatonin, you can also find it in certain foods like cherries, grapes, and tomatoes.Howatson, G., Bell, P. G., Tallent, J., Middleton, B., McHugh, M. P., & Ellis, J. (2012). Effect of tart cherry juice (Prunus cerasus) on melatonin levels and enhanced sleep quality. European Journal of Nutrition, 51(8), 909–916. Some people opt for melatonin supplements, which usually come in pill or liquid form, to help them get the full range of its benefits. So, how does melatonin help you sleep? Think of it as the conductor of your body's biological orchestra. As evening approaches, levels rise, telling your body to lower its temperature and prepare for rest.Lewy, A. J., Wehr, T. A., Goodwin, F. K., Newsome, D. A., & Markey, S. P. (1998). Light suppresses melatonin secretion in humans. Science, 210(4475), 1267–1269. It essentially sets the stage for a good night's sleep by working in sync with your body's natural circadian rhythm. Health Benefits of Melatonin If there's one thing melatonin is famous for, it's sleep. Supplementing with it can help you fall asleep faster and even improve the quality of your sleep.Ferracioli-Oda, E., Qawasmi, A., & Bloch, M. H. (2013). Meta-analysis: Melatonin for the treatment of primary sleep disorders. PLOS ONE, 8(5), e63773. While it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, it's a go-to for many who struggle with sleep issues. Melatonin works by influencing your body's internal clock. It encourages the physiological changes needed for sleep, such as muscle relaxation and lowered body temperature.Zisapel, N. (2018). New perspectives on the role of melatonin in human sleep, circadian rhythms, and their regulation. British Journal of Pharmacology, 175(16), 3190–3199. Dosage can vary, but a common starting point is around 1 to 3 mg about 30 minutes before bedtime. However, it's always wise to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.Auld, F., Maschauer, E. L., Morrison, I., Skene, D. J., & Riha, R. L. (2017).

Asif and Ali are back! After their brief hiatus over August, they return with a new episode. They start off by recapping what they did this past summer. Then, they each discuss their favorite entertainment from the summer of 2023 (4:33) (MILD SPOILERS AHEAD). Asif heaps praise on movies such as Oppenheimer, The Flash, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. He also discusses TV from this past summer including The Bear, What We Do in the Shadows, Harley Quinn, Fubar and Severance. Then Ali talks about what he caught up on over the summer including Succession, Never Have I Ever, The Sex Lives of College Girls, and The Marvelous Ms Maisel. He also praises the new novel ‘A History of Burning'.   In the second half of the show, Ali asks Asif about melatonin (25:11). Asif talks about the hormone, how it was discovered, and the main uses (for which there is scientific evidence). He then talks about the increased use of melatonin over time as well as children being inadvertently exposed to melatonin. He then discusses how many melatonin products contain too little or too much melatonin or contain other substances such as cannabidiol or serotonin. Then Asif briefly discusses other methods to improve sleep without melatonin.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

There's actually a one-for-one energetic vibrational frequency connection to how we feel within ourselves, the things that we're choosing, and the effect that the things we choose, have on our body or consciousness." - Ronnie Landis The Addiction Symptoms "We live in a culture that values stimulation, overwhelm, and stress. These are things that are symptoms of a deep problem that we are starting to acknowledge but nobody really knows what to do about it because we're also addicted to the compounds, the substances, and the patterns that produce the symptoms themselves." - Ronnie Landis Addiction Probability "The probability of something becoming addictive is how much dopamine it produces and how easily accessible it is to you in any given moment." - Ronnie Landis Dopamine + Anticipation of The Experience "Dopamine is produced as an anticipation for a future event. You get dopamine from the anticipation of a particular experience that's posed in the future. But once you have the experience, that dopamine baseline goes down. You get a little bit of a hit upon the moment of arrival but then the more you do it, the less of the pleasure you get, and then you need to do more of it to keep the dopamine baseline steady." - Ronnie Landis Links From Today's Show  Ronnie Landis W+W 349 Ronnie Landis | Rethinking Veganism: The 10 Year Journey Back Home W+W 122 The Truth About Nutrients – Ronnie Landis The Addiction Free Lifestyle by Ronnie Landis Gabor Maté A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Richard Rudd 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Did you know that 80% of light pollution occurs at night, and over 35% of people experience sleep issues? Understanding the role that darkness deficiency and melatonin play in health and wellness is critically important.In this episode, I talk with Dr. Catherine Darley, a naturopathic physician as well as the founder and director of the Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine in Seattle, Washington, which is dedicated to patient care, public education about sleep health, and consultation with high-risk populations, such as first responders.Dr. Darley is a leader in natural sleep medicine, combining her knowledge of sleep disorders with her training as a naturopathic physician to bridge these fields. Dr. Darley regularly writes articles and trains healthcare providers in the treatment of sleep disorders. She also co-authored the research study “Is Melatonin the “Next Vitamin D”?

In the past twenty years, research suggests that parents are worrying more about their children and spending more to provide them with comforts. In spite of such worry and wealth, the past twenty years have also seen an increase in these same American-born children from well-to-do families being diagnosed with various psychiatric disorders. Meanwhile, parents tend to swing from overly strict to overly lenient. Balancing love, both tender and tough, is a difficult art.  To help us dive deeper into this parental task, we welcome Dr. Leonard Sax to HeightsCast. In the episode, Dr. Sax discusses his book, The Collapse of Parenting: How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them Like Grown-Ups. Drawing both from the wisdom of the ancients and the insights of modern science, Dr. Sax explains the importance of parental authority in raising children. Besides discussing parenting authority, he also offers thoughts on the importance of culture and schools, urging parents to consider carefully and choose prudently the school to which they will send their children.  As Dr. Sax reminds us, authentic freedom is not mere license, and if children are to be free in the end, they must, at the start, have the right amount of parental guidance. To give too much freedom too soon may end in the very loss of the freedom which one would have hoped to give.  Chapters 0:30 Introduction 2:15 What is parental authority? 11:00 Parental worries  19:05 Some statistics on psychiatric diagnoses in America 21:30 Parents and the transmission of culture 23:35 The middle class myth  27:52 “Elon Musk” schools vs. “Mother Theresa” schools 32:20 Shifts in American culture from 1967-2017  34:40 Approaching difficult grades as a parent 38:25 Too hard, too soft, or just right: should parents negotiate? 45:50 Advice for single parents  49:10 Fake it until you make it 53:45 The importance of intergenerational bonds Recommended Resources  Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Dr. Leonard Sax Why Gender Matters, Second Edition: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know about the Emerging Science of Sex Differences by Dr. Leonard Sax Also on the Forum  Discipline in the Classroom: The Art of Order with Colin Gleason Carpool: Making Commute Time Good Time with Kyle Blackmer Friendship for Fathers: Living and Teaching the Art with Prof. John Cuddeback

Your shadow has its own intelligence. The shadow is the psychological energy that's working against you to shut off the pathways towards your goals, aims, and the changes and the love that you want. We need to invite in the intelligence to work with us, to build a relationship with it so it's not working against us but with us. And when we start to do that, we start to expand consciously and create sovereignty internally. - Connor Beaton Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Why understanding and reclaiming your darkness is an act of strengthening. What it means that your pain has its own intelligence and how your shadow works against you. How accepting the parts of us that we've been rejecting creates internal sovereignty and we stop making other people responsible for how we feel.   [23:44] How To Gain Sovereignty From Shadow Work Why sovereignty is connected to peace according to Josh and how our partners test the foundation of our sovereignty. How women reveal who you are as a man and how men disempower themselves by projecting their journey onto women. Why men become more attractive when they reclaim their darkness. Vienna's and Connor's childhood: Growing up in a high-conflict environment vs growing up with zero conflict. The end of the honeymoon phase in their relationship and having to face conflicts.

Unconscious incompetence: You don't know what you don't know. Admission and confession: The bridge you have to cross in order to create a change in you. How we don't know how to be with our pain and why we need to turn towards it to understand and accept it. How porn is ritualized and why it's important to identify the ritual and the feeling before it in order to start healing.   [01:06:55] The Collective Shadow + Loving Stubbornness Why the feminine is the collective shadow according to Connor. What creates a negative internal dialogue: Disconnection from the feminine energy. How the ability to interact with the feminine is related to the internal interaction with the feminine. How external validation can be a sign of negative internal dialogue. The reason he wrote a letter to his son before he was born and the poem of two stubborn hearts he wrote to his wife. Why stubbornness is perceived as bad in our culture but it can be a good thing. What it means to love and show up stubbornly and how it can help us get through our shadows.   [01:16:10] The Lie About The Rational Mind The power of breath: Grounding VS action. How the ability to switch between the light and the dark comes through the breath and the nervous system. Why the rational mind that can solve all problems is a lie sold to men. Ken Wilber Eckhart Tolle Wim Hof Why recording the audiobook was a highlight for Connor. ManTalks Podcast How his podcast allows him to expand his own curiosity and the more he learns, the more people get out of it.   Power Quotes From The Show The Shadow Of The Father Wound "We often get caught demonizing our father and get stuck in his shadow. We become a judge of our father and we sit in a righteous seat when we're hurt and say “this is how my dad should have parented me.” As if we have any context for his life and what he was going through." - Connor Beaton   Understanding Your Own Darkness “There's merit in understanding your own darkness because your darkness is still you, a part of who you are. When you start to turn towards your fears, your insecurities, and your doubts, there's a chance you'll be able to not only understand those parts of you but also welcome them back in your kingdom.” - Connor Beaton   Move Through Conflict With Your Partner "If you can find somebody that's along for the ride with you that you respect enough to move through conflict with, you're much more likely to show up in a respectful way to prioritize figuring out what's happening within you as a man. And subsequently, become somebody who's willing to move through conflict themselves." - Connor Beaton   Links From Today's Show  Connor Beaton ManTalks Men's Work: A Practical Guide to Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, and Find Freedom by Connor Beaton Vienna Pharaon Vienna Pharaon Podcast - Two Books & A Baby: Surviving Hard Times In Your Relationship GQ Magazine 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Josh Trent with Aubrey Marcus: Becoming Fit For Fatherhood 490 SOLOCAST | Hypervigilance: The Subconscious Strategy of Survival That Slowly Kills Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction by Gary Wilson Ken Wilber Eckhart Tolle Wim Hof ManTalks Podcast Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Save 20% on LiftMode Products until February 13, 2023 PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Connor Beaton Facebook Instagram Twitter ManTalks Facebook YouTube Instagram   About Connor Beaton Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks. He was raised to believe that being a man meant you had to follow certain rules. The most notable one is like the first rule of Fight Club: don't talk about it. For most of his life, he believed all men had the same rule. Shut up and deal with it. Man up. Over the next few years, he learned to take his trauma, shame, and denial—all the shadowy parts of himself—and integrate them. He spent thousands of hours learning and training. He consulted psychologists, historians, neurologists, and authors. Connor trained for years under mentors and leaders in Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, and holotropic breathwork. He even apprenticed under a disciple of Carl Jung himself. In 2014, Connor founded ManTalks as a grassroots movement to further the cause: giving men the tools and training to create a truly self-led life.  

There are millions of YouTube videos with people crinkling bubble wrap or whispering about folding laundry. Our guest talks about why autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) makes her, and many others, feel more calm and happy. Episode summary: Melinda still remembers the tingling feeling she felt when she first listened to the close-up sound of someone drawing on a TV show at the age of ten. She learned later that the subtle sounds that create soothing sensations for her are called autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR. Now, she creates ASMR experiences on her YouTube channel and through her live production company, Whisperlodge — from delicately handling a plastic package to gently stroking a microphone with a makeup brush. In today's show, Melinda demystifies the world of ASMR and how it brings both calm and delight to her and her participants. Later, we hear about the emerging science behind ASMR from Dr. Giulia Poerio, who studies it in her lab at the University of Essex. As it turns out, those tingles might actually benefit our mental health. Today's Science of Happiness Guests: Melinda Lauw, is the co-creator of Whisperlodge, an immersive ASMR theater experience.

For decades, the messenger RNA (mRNA) platform was seen as too unstable and expensive to be used in vaccines or therapeutic medicines. That changed when the COVID-19 pandemic sparked enough urgency, resources, and money to bring about a breakthrough. Andy speaks with Uwe Schoenbeck, the chief scientific officer for Pfizer's Emerging Science & Innovation team, about what makes the mRNA platform more nimble than conventional methods and its potential future uses, including a game-changing flu vaccine and gene editing therapeutics for cancers, Alzheimer's, and HIV/AIDS.
