In this week's podcast Wendy K Laidlaw talks about past pain, especially from close relationships, often erodes trust and makes us keep our hearts closed off.  Whilst balancing the need for protection and connection can be challenging, extremes of isolation or vulnerability with our hearts were unhelpful. Either, life's beauty often gets overshadowed by sadness and loneliness when we shield our hearts or we get hurt from being too open.  The key is a balanced middle ground. To heal and reopen your heart involves gradual steps combined with the implementation of strong, protective mechanisms. Creating a protective mechanism enables you to identify triggers and set boundaries, and amid the fast-paced chaos of today's society, listening to your inner voice and having brick-like boundaries becomes vital. On her own journey, doing these things allowed Wendy to rebuild trust in herself. She realised not everyone is kind and stopped 'idealising those who hurt her' and learned to differentiate genuine connections from toxic ones.  Wendy realised it was okay to hear uncomfortable truths about people and to say no when someone's behaviour or requests didn't work for her. If you need assistance safely re-opening your heart then join her at her Retreat. You will be able to learn how to hear your voice, establish boundaries, and navigate various personalities. Even more so, you will be able to experience safe connections and fully relax in the tranquil settings of the Retreat. Mother Teresa said the worst disease is feeling unwanted and for so long she felt this way. Now, her heart now shines, is unshackled and strong and she is able to appreciate the world around her. Let her guide you to heal the hurts of your heart. Learn more and visit https://embracingemotions.com/retreat_portugal_2023 @quintacarvalhas."

Of course, this episode already has an intro so I'm not going to intro the intro - I'll just let you get to it! I hope you find this episode helpful. TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast contains brief references to sexual trauma. I wanted to do an episode on the back of my 9 Root Causes of Painful Sex with Endometriosis episode, as I talk about bloating, bladder pain, brain fog and fatigue a lot, but I haven't covered painful sex much lately.  This episode contains a range of strategies, some long-term, some more short-term and this list certainly isn't exhaustive. Many of the changes you make to improve your endometriosis in general, such as healing the gut, are not covered here but will certainly make a difference to the pain you feel during sex. You don't have to try all of these and you certainly don't have to try them all at the same time, but see which ones resonate for you. Read more. Need more help or want to learn how to work with me?

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Jennifer: It's a combination of tenacity and resilience.Experiencing endometriosis led Jennifer Eden to launch Tampon Tribe. “I just found that having this excruciating pain every month just got too much to bear. I thought to myself, there has to be a better way to live.”Properly motivated, she began her work. “I started researching and found that a lot of the toxins and chemicals that are in period products, even some organic ones, could actually be exacerbating the situation.”“My business partner [Gabriela “Gaby” Alves] and I found that we could manufacture totally certified organic cotton period products with no toxins, with no bleaches, that were good for people's bodies,” Jennifer says. “At the same time, the sustainability revolution was right in front of us. Both I and my co-founder Gaby are so passionate about our planet. We thought, ‘Could we do this, make products that don't have plastics?' So, Tampon Tribe was born.Throughout the short history of Tampon Tribe, crowdfunding has been a key to success. She explains:It's made a massive impact on our growth. I mean, it just stands to reason when you have a product like ours, a CPG, impact-focused product, you know that you need a community behind you to grow. So, from our very, very first Indiegogo campaign all the way up. We've done three Wefunder rounds now and an SMBX round. We just have this amazing community. It's our tribe, and that's how we built the company.Another key to success has been Jennifer's superpower, tenacity.AI Episode Summary* Jennifer Eden is the co-founder and CEO of Tampon Tribe, an organic cotton period product company.* Tampon Tribe started after Jennifer experienced pain from endometrial endometriosis and wanted to create healthier and environmentally-friendly products.* The company started with tampons and expanded to include pads, liners, menstrual cups, and period underwear.* Tampon Tribe has experienced significant financial success, with an average year-on-year growth of 486% for the first four years.* The company has also found success in the B2B space, supplying products to co-working spaces, businesses, and hotels.* Tampon Tribe has a strong community and has utilized crowdfunding to support its growth and impact.* Jennifer sees her superpower as a combination of tenacity and resilience.* Her biggest accomplishments are the support and belief from people who have invested in and supported Tampon Tribe.* Jennifer emphasizes the importance of balance, taking rest, and having a sense of humor while building a company.* To learn more about Tampon Tribe, visit their website, sign up for their direct mail program, and follow them on social media. They are also available on Amazon and in local grocery and boutique stores.How to Develop Tenacity As a SuperpowerJennifer sees the big victories in the small things that result from her tenacity and resilience. When you see someone that says, “I put in …” $100, $500, whatever it is, “into your campaign,” that really blew both myself and my business partner away, that people believe in us. It's very humbling. I don't know if that's the right answer, but an incident like that, for me, surpasses these great wins or a large contract. I mean, of course, getting distribution. Amazing. Getting into our first retail store–amazing, like huge, large milestones that I could talk about or [getting] into these hotels or the businesses that we're in. But, when you think about it, it's the support from people you respect and admire that speaks volumes. That, in turn, shows the recognition by them of your little superpower and continues it. It's like it fuels that fire.Jennifer offers some tips for strengthening your tenacity:* Don't take yourself too seriously, even when tackling serious issues.* Take care of yourself, rest, spend time with family and friends or take a walk.* Be efficient. You don't have to do more; just be efficient.* Believe in what you're doing and in yourself.* Keep going and have some fun!You can make tenacity a strength by following Jennifer's example and advice. Over time, you may be able to make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileJennifer Eden (she/her): Co-Founder / CEO, Tampon TribeAbout Tampon Tribe:Website: www.tampontribe.comTwitter Handle: @tampontribeCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/tampontribe/Biographical Information:An entrepreneur at heart, Jennifer is an internationally-awarded marketer, business leader and broadcaster.

This holds true, new research shows, if the red clover is taken in a fermented form. Fermented Red Clover extract is demonstrated to decrease significantly both the number and severity of daily hot flushes. The study also found that the extract prevents the normally accelerated menopausal bone loss affecting one in three women over the age of 50 (e.g. results showed treatment blunted bone loss in the spine completely). These findings are very promising as the benefits take place without any of the side effects of traditionally proscribed hormone therapies that increase the risk of cancers and cardiovascular diseases. "It is the fermentation process of the Red Clover extract that makes the difference, as the lactic acid fermentation increases the bioavailability of the bioactive estrogen-like compounds (known as isoflavones or phytoestrogens) that Red Clover has in abundance," explains Max Norman Tandrup Lambert. "The challenge with isoflavones is that they can be difficult to digest as they naturally occur in the plant bound to sugar molecules which prevent absorption. Hence, a large proportion of the isoflavones that are consumed (e.g. as a pill or capsule) can pass through the intestine without entering circulation. This problem is bypassed when the Red Clover extract undergoes a fermentation process. To be technical the process separates the sugar molecules from the isoflavones, thereby increasing bioavailability," explains Max Norman Tandup Lambert. A studyrecruited 130 women with menopause symptoms, of which 60 were selected based on criteria of at least five severe hot flushes per day and blood tests (including FSH, that indicates the "stage" of menopause). "The women were separated into two groups of 30, so 30 drank 150ml Red Clover extract per day for 12 weeks, whilst the other 30 drank a masked placebo product. After 12 weeks we tested again and were speechless about the data. There was a much greater effect than we had hoped for." Says Max Norman Tandrup Lambert.   Resveratrol, quercetin could provide new options for cancer therapy Oregon State University, July 16, 2023 Resveratrol and quercetin, two polyphenols that have been widely studied for their health properties, may soon become the basis of an important new advance in cancer treatment, primarily by improving the efficacy and potential use of an existing chemotherapeutic cancer drug. In laboratory experiments, researchers at Oregon State University have developed a system to increase the bioavailability of these compounds in the body by using "copolymers" that make them water soluble and allow their injection into the blood stream, creating levels that are far higher than could ever be obtained by diet or oral intake. The resveratrol and quercetin then appear to reduce the cardiac toxicity of a very widely used cancer drug, Adriamycin. Although highly effective in the treatment of lymphomas, breast, ovarian and other cancers, Adriamycin can only be used for a limited time in humans because of its cardiotoxicity. The co-administration of these polyphenols might allow much more extensive use of this drug, while at the same time improving its efficacy and demonstrating the polyphenols' own anti-cancer properties, scientists said. Findings on this research have been published in the Journal of Controlled Release, by scientists from the College of Pharmacy at Oregon State University and the School of Pharmacy at Pacific University. Both institutions supported the research. "The co-administration of high levels of resveratrol and quercetin, in both in vitro and in vivo studies, shows that it significantly reduces the cardiac toxicity of Adriamycin," Alani said. "And these compounds have a synergistic effect that enhances the efficacy of the cancer drug, by sensitizing the cancer cells to the effects of the drug." It's possible, Alani said, that after further research it could be demonstrated that use of these compounds can completely eliminate the cardiotoxicity of Adriamycin, as they scavenge the toxic free radicals produced by use of this drug. It's also possible, he said, that administration of these natural polyphenols could have value in cancer therapy by themselves, or in combination with a wider range of other chemotherapeutic drugs.   World's largest study shows the more you walk, the lower your risk of death, even if you walk fewer than 5,000 steps Medical University of Lodz (Poland) & Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, August 8, 2023 The number of steps you should walk every day to start seeing benefits to your health is lower than previously thought, according to the largest analysis to investigate this. The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that walking at least 3967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, and 2337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying from diseases of the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). However, the new analysis of 226,889 people from 17 different studies around the world has shown that the more you walk, the greater the health benefits. The risk of dying from any cause or from cardiovascular disease decreases significantly with every 500 to 1000 extra steps you walk. An increase of 1000 steps a day was associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, and an increase of 500 steps a day was associated with a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease. The researchers, led by Maciej Banach, Professor of Cardiology at the Medical University of Lodz, Poland, and Adjunct Professor at the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, found that even if people walked as many as 20,000 steps a day, the health benefits continued to increase. They have not found an upper limit yet. "Our study confirms that the more you walk, the better," says Prof. Banach. "We found that this applied to both men and women, irrespective of age, and irrespective of whether you live in a temperate, sub-tropical or sub-polar region of the world, or a region with a mixture of climates. In addition, our analysis indicates that as little as 4,000 steps a day are needed to significantly reduce deaths from any cause, and even fewer to reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease." There is strong evidence that a sedentary lifestyle may contribute to an increase in cardiovascular disease and a shorter life. Studies have shown that insufficient physical activity affects more than a quarter of the world's population. More women than men (32% versus 23%), and people in higher income countries compared to low-income countries (37% versus 16%) do not undertake a sufficient amount of physical activity. The studies analyzed by the researchers followed up participants for a median (average) of seven years. The mean (average) age was 64, and 49% of participants were female. In people aged 60 years or older, the size of the reduction in risk of death was smaller than that seen in people aged younger than 60 years. In the older adults, there was a 42% reduction in risk seen in those who walked between 6,000 and 10,000 steps a day, while there was a 49% reduction in risk in younger adults who walked between 7,000 and 13,000 steps a day.   Brains of overweight people 'ten years older' than lean counterparts at middle-age University of Cambridge, August 4, 2023 From middle-age, the brains of obese individuals display differences in white matter similar to those in lean individuals ten years their senior, according to new research led by the University of Cambridge. White matter is the tissue that connects areas of the brain and allows for information to be communicated between regions.   Our brains naturally shrink with age, but scientists are increasingly recognising that obesity - already linked to conditions such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease - may also affect the onset and progression of brain ageing; however, direct studies to support this link are lacking.   The team studied data from 473 individuals between the ages of 20 and 87, recruited by the Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience.  The researchers divided the data into two categories based on weight: lean and overweight. They found striking differences in the volume of white matter in the brains of overweight individuals compared with those of their leaner counterparts. Overweight individuals had a widespread reduction in white matter compared to lean people.   They discovered that an overweight person at, say, 50 years old had a comparable white matter volume to a lean person aged 60 years, implying a difference in brain age of 10 years. Strikingly, however, the researchers only observed these differences from middle-age onwards, suggesting that our brains may be particularly vulnerable during this period of ageing.   "As our brains age, they naturally shrink in size, but it isn't clear why people who are overweight have a greater reduction in the amount of white matter," says first author Dr Lisa Ronan from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, "We can only speculate on whether obesity might in some way cause these changes or whether obesity is a consequence of brain changes."       Soy protein found to deplete testosterone in men University of Connecticut, July 27, 2023  The health detriments of soy consumption are reiterated in a new study out of the University of Connecticut that highlights the importance of avoiding soy at all costs. Researchers from the school found that men who consume soy protein rather than whey protein for muscle recovery and growth experience considerable reductions in their testosterone levels, as well as marked increases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (JACN), the randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study looked at how soy supplementation affects testosterone, cortisol and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels in men who engage in resistance exercises and training. They compared these effects to those brought about in men who supplement with whey. For the research, 10 resistance-trained men in their early 20s had their hormones evaluated in conjunction with an assigned supplemental diet. The men were divided into three groups: one receiving whey protein isolate, one receiving soy protein isolate and the last receiving a maltodextrin-based placebo control. The men were not allowed to take any other supplements, and vegetarians, vegans and individuals who were consuming high-protein diets were excluded. For two weeks, the men were told to ingest 20 grams of their assigned supplement every morning at the same time. The participants were then instructed to perform six sets of heavy resistance squats at 10 reps each, exerting 80 percent of their maximum lifting weight. At the end of the 14-day period, the researchers collected hormone profiles from each of the men and made comparisons. They found that, compared to the men who supplemented with whey, those taking soy did not necessarily produce more estrogen. They did, however, experience decreased testosterone levels and elevated cortisol levels, a deadly combination that can leave men at risk of disease and weight gain. Lowered testosterone levels and elevated cortisol levels are also generally attributed to the feminization phenomenon occurring in men that sometimes leads to disorders like nipple discharge, breast enlargement and hot flashes. It can also lead to inhibited thyroid function, bone loss, sleeping disorders, decreased sex function and reproductive problems.     Study shows endometriosis is linked to higher risk of depression, anxiety, eating disorders Yale University, August 7, 2023 Endometriosis is not just a condition that affects the pelvis, but a systemic disease that involves the entire body. Now, the largest epidemiological study to date on the psychiatric factors that can accompany endometriosis has demonstrated that depression, anxiety, and eating disorders are not only a result of the chronic pain endometriosis generates, but also have their own underlying genetic mechanisms. The team published its findings in JAMA Network Open. "The relationship between endometriosis and mental health is more complicated than we expected," says Renato Polimanti, Ph.D., associate professor of psychiatry and the study's principal investigator. "The biological basis is not just chronic pain, and there is much more that we need to understand." Endometriosis is an extremely painful condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. The disease manifests in a wide array of symptoms including pelvic, abdominal, and low back pain, heavy bleeding, painful sexual intercourse, painful urination and bowel movements, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and infertility. In this new study, the Yale research team obtained data from the UK Biobank which included more than 8,200 patients with endometriosis and 194,000 healthy controls. First, they investigated if depression, anxiety, and eating disorders were more prevalent in those with endometriosis, accounting for chronic pain, socioeconomic status, age, body mass index, various medications, and co-morbid conditions. They found that having endometriosis significantly increases the odds of having these three psychiatric conditions. through running a genetic correlation analysis, they found a significantly high genetic correlation between endometriosis and each of the three disorders.

For people with endometriosis—a mysterious disease where endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus—medical visits can be especially frustrating. It takes some patients years (on average, ten years) to get a diagnosis and treatment options are limited. There are currently no cures. One researcher, Dr. Kate Lawrenson, is trying to change that. She and her team of researchers have created a cellular atlas of the disease and hope this cell-by-cell approach will open up doors for faster diagnosis options and better ways of managing it. In the meantime, she hopes that more people will learn about the disease in the first place.Want us to break down the science underpinning your health? Email us at shortwave@npr.org!
