On savait déjà que le surmenage affecte le sommeil, la santé cardiovasculaire et la vie sociale. Mais une récente étude coréenne va plus loin : elle montre que travailler trop longtemps pourrait littéralement modifier la structure du cerveau. Publiée dans la revue Occupational and Environmental Medicine, cette recherche menée par une équipe des universités Chung-Ang et Yonsei soulève une question troublante : et si les heures supplémentaires laissaient une empreinte physique durable sur notre cerveau ?Les chercheurs ont analysé les données de plus de 1 000 adultes sud-coréens, tous salariés, et ont comparé les scans cérébraux de ceux qui travaillent un volume d'heures “normal” (35 à 40 heures par semaine) à ceux dépassant régulièrement les 52 heures hebdomadaires. Leur constat est net : les surtravailleurs présentaient des anomalies dans plusieurs zones cérébrales, notamment celles impliquées dans les fonctions cognitives, la mémoire et le contrôle émotionnel.Parmi les régions touchées, l'hippocampe – une structure essentielle à la mémoire – ainsi que certaines zones du cortex préfrontal, qui gouverne la prise de décision et la gestion du stress. Ces altérations ne relèvent pas seulement d'un épuisement ponctuel : elles pourraient signaler une neurodégénérescence accélérée liée à l'exposition chronique au stress professionnel.Plus préoccupant encore, ces changements ont été observés même en l'absence de signes cliniques évidents. Autrement dit, le cerveau peut commencer à se détériorer sans que la personne ne s'en rende compte immédiatement. Les auteurs soulignent que ces modifications ne sont pas anodines : elles pourraient augmenter le risque de dépression, de troubles anxieux ou de maladies neurodégénératives à long terme.Les mécanismes en cause seraient liés à la surcharge mentale, le manque de récupération, et l'activation prolongée du système de stress. Le cortisol, l'hormone du stress, joue ici un rôle central. Sa libération chronique peut endommager les neurones, en particulier dans les zones sensibles comme l'hippocampe.L'étude corrobore ainsi une idée de plus en plus défendue par les neurosciences : notre cerveau a besoin de repos, de variété et de limites claires pour fonctionner de manière optimale. Travailler plus n'est donc pas toujours synonyme de productivité, surtout si cela se fait au prix de la santé cérébrale.En conclusion, ce travail met en garde contre une vision encore trop valorisée de la “performance à tout prix”. Il rappelle que le cerveau, comme tout organe vital, a ses seuils de tolérance – et que les dépasser trop souvent peut laisser des traces invisibles, mais durables. Hébergé par Acast.

Occupational medicine physician Robert Nathan Clapp discusses his article, "Why you should take a closer look at occupational and environmental medicine." Addressing the pervasive issue of physician burnout, Robert introduces occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) — a specialty under preventive medicine — as a compelling but often overlooked field boasting high job satisfaction and low burnout. He notes that despite its appeal, only about 20 percent of OEM residents knew about the specialty before finishing medical school, leading many to transition later in their careers. Robert explains that OEM focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating workplace and environmental injuries and illnesses, uniquely blending clinical care with public health principles. Key advantages drawing physicians to OEM include extremely diverse career paths (ranging from 100 percent clinical to 100 percent non-clinical in various settings like corporations, government, and academics), excellent work-life balance with minimal call or weekend work, a focus on functional outcomes rather than volume metrics, competitive salaries, and high demand. Furthermore, residency training is accessible (often two years, or even one year for those with prior GME) and includes a master of public health (MPH) degree, with prior specialty experience often being highly valued. Actionable takeaways encourage physicians feeling dissatisfied or burnt out, as well as medical students, to explore OEM as a pathway to a more sustainable and rewarding medical career.

It's very difficult (often impossible) to completely avoid many of the environmental toxins that can cause harm - like air pollution and forever chemicals that contaminate our water and food supply. But Drs. Bob and Rosalind Wright at Mount Sinai have a hopeful solution to this dilemma. They are pioneering the study of “resiliency factors,” not just “risk factors,” that can offset the risks of harmful exposures. It's a fresh and welcome take on exposomics that I am very excited to share with you. For instance - did you know that omega-3 intake during pregnancy can protect against the development of asthma in the child, even if the child is exposed to known risk factors for asthma? Or that positive relationships (ones that create a sensitive, positive, caregiving environment) have been shown to potentially mitigate the effects of environmental toxins? As a practitioner, I am always looking to empower patients with real solutions to the health challenges we inevitably face and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Mold exposure can complicate Lyme disease treatment. Common symptoms of mold exposure include fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. Testing for mold is crucial for effective treatment. Treatment protocols should be individualized based on mycotoxin results. Legal rights regarding mold exposure are evolving. Pharmaceuticals can complement natural treatments for mold. Probiotics may help in recovering from mold exposure. Understanding the timeline of symptoms can aid diagnosis. Mold can significantly impact blood viscosity and overall health. Nasal sprays can significantly alleviate symptoms related to mold exposure. The brain detoxes through the nasal cavity, making nasal health crucial. Nebulized glutathione is effective for chronic lung symptoms. Ozone therapy is beneficial for Lyme and co-infections but not curative on its own. Mold exposure can severely compromise the immune system. Regular sauna use can help reduce inflammation and detoxify the body. Detoxification is a gradual process that requires patience and consistency. Heavy metals must be addressed in every Lyme patient for effective treatment. Chronic illness often stems from a combination of environmental toxins and gut dysfunction. A comprehensive approach to detoxification can lead to significant health improvements.   Keywords: functional medicine, mold exposure, Lyme disease, mycotoxins, health recovery, holistic health, treatment protocols, tenant rights, probiotics, environmental health, mold detox, nasal sprays, nebulizers, ozone therapy, biofilm, PEMF, heavy metals, Lyme disease, detoxification protocols, holistic health    

It has been a cold start to the year and for many that means the heating's on, windows are shut and we're drying clothes inside the house. For many people, mould becomes a major concern in winter and the health problems mould can cause have been under more scrutiny since the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak who died in 2020 from long-term exposure to mould at his home in Rochdale.At Imperial College London a study called WellHome is underway to monitor levels of mould and other indoor pollutants in homes across the west of the capital. Presenter James Gallagher meets Mum of four Roxanne who had monitoring equipment installed in her house to collect data that could lead to guidance on housing quality and inform how healthcare professionals look for and treat conditions affected by mould. Joining James at Roxanne's is WellHome's Dr Athena Trachalaki, a Respiratory Registrar with Imperial College NHS trust. With her, to go through all the pollutants that pose a risk to our health indoors is WellHome lead and Professor of Community Health and Policy at Imperial College, Frank Kelly. Dr Jonathan Grigg, Professor of Paediatric Respiratory and Environmental Medicine at Queen Mary University, London, tells James it could be the end of the line for the gas cooker, and Professor Alastair Lewis who is Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of York takes a virtual tour of James's home to discuss all the ways James could be cleaning up the air he breathes.

Imagine if the loss of heart size and the stiffness that often comes with aging could be reversed, even well into late middle-age. And not by a little - by a lot. Today's guest, Dr. Benjamin Levine, has shown that with the right exercise protocol, people who were sedentary most of their lives could reverse up to 20 years of heart aging. Dr. Levine is one of the world's leading experts in understanding how the heart adapts under a variety of conditions, whether that's exercise, elite athleticism, or hospital bedrest. Or even highly exotic conditions, like prolonged exposure to microgravity. He is the founding director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at UT Southwestern in Dallas, a leading facility renowned for its research in cardiovascular physiology. His expertise also extends into space medicine, where he advises NASA, underscoring his broad, deeply fundamental understanding of how the heart changes over time. Additionally, he is a recognized authority in sports cardiology, consulting for organizations such as the NCAA, NFL, NHL, and various professional sports leagues.

James Maskell's guest on this episode is Jeffrey Morrison, MD, whose clinical approach is to use nutrition to prevent or reverse degenerative and chronic disease. In both his clinical practice and as a member of the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine, he considers detoxification as a critical foundation to health. During this conversation, Dr. Morrison emphasizes that toxins in the environment are a major cause of disease and that our bodies are not equipped to handle the vast array of chemicals present in our modern environment. He explains that detoxification is a natural process where cells push toxins into the connective tissue, which then moves them through the lymphatic system, liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract for elimination (or through sweat or breath). However, if the body is overwhelmed with toxins or if the detoxification process is hindered, symptoms and illness can occur. Most often, this looks like visible inflammation, aches and pains, fatigue, skin issues and brain fog.   Dr. Morrison recommends supporting detoxification through practices such as regular exercise, anti-inflammatory eating, drinking plenty of water, and maintaining regular bowel movements. He also discusses the importance of the lymphatic system in detoxification and the role of the nervous system in regulating detoxification.  Please listen to this full episode to learn more about: Group detox programs to save costs and time, for clinicans and patients alike.  The role of saunas in detoxification The American Academy of Environmental Medicine's focus on educating practitioners and advocacy for environmental health And much more!  Evolution of Medicine's partner, Lifestyle Matrix Resources Center can point you to patient education materials, as well as protocols related to detoxification as well.

Pearls and Quotes - Obesity & Cardiovascular Disease Risk The durability of metabolically healthy obesity (i.e., normal A1c, lipids, LFTs, BMP, normotensive) is limited. Within 5 years, a third of adults with “metabolically healthy” obesity will develop a cardiometabolic complication. The biomechanical and psychosocial complications of obesity are just as important as the cardiometabolic complications. Biomechanical and psychosocial complications, including obstructive sleep apnea, joint pain, and mood disorders also influence cardiovascular disease risk. Weight loss is not always the patient's goal. Meet patients where they are and understand their challenges, concerns, and long-term goals with respect to their cardiovascular health and obesity. This information provides an opportunity to frame the conversation in a supportive and engaging way that allows for patient education. Body mass index (BMI) is a screening tool for obesity, but is not sufficient for providing individualized care. Obesity management methods that result in rapid weight loss may not be appropriate for all patients. These methods, such as bariatric surgery and GLP1-receptor agonists, require regular monitoring, follow-up, and multidisciplinary care (e.g., nutritionist, exercise physiologist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, psychologist, etc.). Show notes - Obesity & Cardiovascular Disease Risk Is it possible to be healthy at any size? Whether an individual can be healthy at any size depends on the definition of health and its durability.Approximately 10-15% of adults with obesity are metabolically healthy.The risk for developing cardiometabolic disease is higher in obese versus non-obese adults. One in three adults with metabolically healthy obesity will develop cardiometabolic complications (i.e., insulin resistance/diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension) within five years. Thus, metabolically healthy obesity may represent a transient phenotype with adverse long-term consequences. Consider non-metabolic health consequences of obesity that also influence cardiovascular disease risk. Obstructive sleep apnea, joint pain leading to decreased physical activity, and mood disorders are key considerations here and encompass the biomechanical and psychosocial consequences of obesity. Does large, rapid weight loss result in poorer long-term weight loss than slower, gradual weight loss? When approaches to weight loss are not sustainable, such as extremely low-calorie diets or extreme fitness regimens, the results and associated health benefits are less likely to be durable. Rapid, large-magnitude weight loss is appropriate for some adults with obesity and can be achieved throug...

What You Will Learn: Why Dr. Patterson journeyed from studying plant medicine to economics and business, and finally into naturopathic medicine. How Dr. Patterson's mom's struggle with lupus and her own autoimmunity and Lyme disease diagnoses spurred her to advocate for integrative methods that address the root cause of conditions. How Lyme disease is often underrecognized and misdiagnosed, with many people seeing five to seven doctors before it is discovered. Why women are especially hard hit by Lyme disease and autoimmunity. Why it's important for your immune system is to be tolerant. The major symptom clue that you may have Lyme disease. How naturopathic and functional medicine differ from conventional medicine in their approach to addressing autoimmune disease and stealth infections. How essential oils can support Lyme disease and autoimmunity. How essential oils knock out pathogenic microbes and their protective biofilms while not harming, and even supporting, the microbiome. This is important for immune resiliency. Dr. Patterson's favorite essential oils for helping her patients with symptoms of Lyme disease and autoimmune disease. The importance of balancing the effects of the right essential oils with the right dose. (Note: Please make sure you are working with an expert and/or are knowledgeable about proper applications of essential oils when using them. Especially seek an aromatherapist or health provider if you are on medication and/or using essential oils internally.) Dr. Paterson's essential oil DIY: An essential oil outdoor bug spray and repellent which mixes a blend of essential oils with water and witch hazel. The oils include oregano, thyme, clove, lemongrass, citronella, and rosemary oils. (Caution: These are hot oils, so please dilute appropriately if applying directly to the skin vs. clothes.) The importance of advocating for yourself and finding a doctor who is literate and familiar with your diagnosis. Closing questions: What Dr. Patterson does for self-care daily and what she feels we should ditch and replace with instead for improved overall health and nourishment. Biography of Dr. Jaquel Patterson Dr. Jaquel Patterson is a nationally recognized naturopathic physician, success coach, 3x Amazon best-selling author (Long Covid & Beyond, Women and Lyme, and Naturalpreneurs), and Forbes contributor. She has over 15 years of clinical experience with a focus on Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, integrative psychiatry, and environmental medicine and she owns a successful multidisciplinary medical practice, Fairfield Family Health, in Connecticut.  Dr. Patterson is also a certified practitioner through the Institute Functional Medicine (IFM) and completed a fellowship in functional medicine for psychiatry and ADD/ADHD. She served as the past president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and currently serves on the board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. Dr. Patterson also sat on many other medical professional boards throughout her career and is a current member of various associations in her specialties like ILADS. Dr. Patterson further uses her gifts for coaching other integrative practitioners to build successful, and scalable integrative medical practices so they can thrive in both business and life. Her entrepreneurial and business mind, which was nurtured through her MBA in Healthcare Management from Quinnipiac University and undergraduate degree in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell, manifested in her own online supplement and health community, Naturalmins.
