Introduction: The Problem We Can't Ignore We live in a world where the food we eat is supposed to nourish us, but what if it's actually making us sick? Pesticides, soil degradation, and nutrient-depleted crops are all part of our modern food system, contributing to rising cases of neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and immune dysfunction. The research is clear: exposure to certain pesticides has been linked to cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, and an increased cancer risk. At the same time, the way we farm today is stripping our food of the vital nutrients our ancestors took for granted. So, the question isn't just about avoiding chemicals—it's about finding food that truly fuels life. The solution? Organic, regenerative, and locally grown produce. Let's break down the science and give you real reasons why it's never been more important to care about where your food comes from.     The Science Behind Pesticides and Health Risks  The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Farming Pesticide residues in conventional food contribute to long-term health risks, including cognitive decline and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. According to Holzman (2012) in Organic Food Conclusions Don't Tell the Whole Story, "Pesticide dietary risk is a function of many factors, including the number of residues, their levels, and pesticide toxicity." (Holzman, 2012).  Organophosphate pesticides, commonly used in industrial agriculture, have been directly linked to Parkinson's disease. As Mie et al. (2017) state in Human Health Implications of Organic Food and Organic Agriculture, "Epidemiological studies have reported adverse effects of certain pesticides on children's cognitive development at current levels of exposure." (Mie et al., 2017).  Pregnant women consuming conventional produce showed higher levels of pyrethroid insecticides in their bodies compared to those eating organic. Curl et al. (2019) in Effect of a 24-week Randomized Trial of an Organic Produce Intervention found that "3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA, a biomarker for pyrethroids) concentrations were significantly higher in conventional produce consumers compared to organic consumers." (Curl et al., 2019).      The Cancer Connection The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified several pesticides used in conventional farming—such as glyphosate and malathion—as likely carcinogens. Hemler et al. (2018) in Organic Foods for Cancer Prevention—Worth the Investment? found that "Participants with the highest frequency of organic food consumption had a 25% lower risk of being diagnosed with cancer during follow-up compared with those with the lowest frequency." (Hemler et al., 2018).     The Nutrient Density Solution: More Than Just Pesticide-Free  Higher Nutrients in Organic & Regenerative Foods  Organic fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals like magnesium and iron, and more powerful antioxidants. Maloney (2014) in Comparative Study on Nutritional Quality and Detection of Pesticide Residues states, "Organic foods are better in taste, appearance, firmness, and nutrient content when compared to conventional foods." (Maloney, 2014). Organically grown produce has 20-40% higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce, which help protect against inflammation and chronic diseases. According to Mie et al. (2017), "Differences in the composition between organic and conventional crops include a modestly higher content of phenolic compounds in organic fruit and vegetables." (Mie et al., 2017).     The Simple Steps to Better Food Go Organic Whenever Possible – Reduce your pesticide exposure and increase the nutrient density of your food.  Support Local & Regenerative Farms – Look for farmers using soil-restoring practices that make food healthier.  Grow Your Own – Even a small backyard garden or balcony pot can produce pesticide-free, nutrient-rich food.  Buy Seasonal Produce – Seasonal food is fresher, richer in nutrients, and often grown closer to home. Prioritize the Dirty Dozen – If you can't go 100% organic, at least choose organic versions of the most pesticide-laden produce, like strawberries, spinach, and apples.     Conclusion: Take Back Control of Your Health  Our food choices today impact our health for decades to come. Science shows that organic, regenerative, and locally grown food isn't just a trendy choice—it's a necessity. From reducing pesticides to boosting essential nutrients, switching to better food sources is one of the most powerful steps you can take to live a longer, healthier life.  So, are you ready to make the change?     Bibliography: Holzman, D.

Epidemiological studies reveal that women make up 25% of all obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, yet only 11% of patients carrying OSA diagnoses are women. What drives this disparity? In this episode of the BackTable ENT Podcast, sleep surgeon and UCSF Associate Professor Dr. Megan Durr joins host Dr. Gopi Shah to discuss OSA in women. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Medtronic ENT https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/healthcare-professionals/medical-specialties/ear-nose-throat.html?cmpid=Vanity_URL_MIX_medtronicent-com_202212_US_EN_NS_ENT_FY23 --- SYNPOSIS First, Dr. Durr recounts her path to sleep surgery, including her interest in women's sleep issues, which grew out of discussions with her female friends experiencing pregnancy-related sleep disturbances. When asked why OSA is under-diagnosed in women, Dr. Durr underscores how women's OSA symptoms – mental fog, memory issues, and insomnia – are relatively nonspecific. While it presents differently in women, OSA increases the risk of heart failure, hypertension, and dementia in all patients, regardless of sex. Then, Dr. Durr shares her physical exam and testing strategies to uncover OSA in female patients. Once diagnosed, she advocates multimodal treatment, including CPAP, weight loss, and surgery. The podcast concludes with discussion of how ENTs can eliminate barriers to better sleep in women, underrepresented minorities, and low-income patients. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Welcome to the BackTable ENT Podcast 03:06 - Dr. Megan Durr's Background & Journey 08:15 - Challenges Diagnosing Sleep Apnea in Women 14:55 - Long-term Effects of Sleep Apnea in Women 20:06 - Hormonal Influences on Sleep Apnea 29:56 - CPAP & Oral Devices in Women with OSA 32:21 - Positional Therapy & Surgery in Women with OSA 36:34 - Weight Loss to Combat OSA 41:04 - Countering Disparities in OSA Treatment 48:06 - Identifying & Caring For “Unseen” OSA Patients: A Team Effort --- RESOURCES Medtronic ENT https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/healthcare-professionals/products/ear-nose-throat.html Dr. Durr's UCSF Profile: https://ohns.ucsf.edu/megan-durr Dr. Durr's X: https://x.com/drmegandurr

The consumption of red meat, specifically the distinction between unprocessed and processed varieties, has been a subject of considerable debate in nutritional science and public health. There is a fair amount of confusion and lack of clarity surrounding this issue. While the harmful effects of processed meat are well-documented and less controversial, the evidence concerning unprocessed red meat is less consistent. This inconsistency often leads to a gray area in scientific discussions and public perception. In examining unprocessed red meat, we encounter a spectrum of claims, including minimal evidence of harm, context of overall diet and mechanistic concerns. Epidemiological evidence shows varied health outcomes related to red meat consumption across different populations. These variations underline the importance of defining and measuring “high” and “low” intake levels accurately in research. The challenges in nutrition research, including methodological flaws in meta-analyses and the rapid dissemination of simplified study results, can impact public health recommendations. Misinterpretations can arise from comparisons within narrow intake ranges or from studies failing to specify absolute intake levels. This podcast episode's goal is to clarify existing evidence, acknowledge areas needing further research, and explore why this topic is significant in the broader context of nutrition science, aiming to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge needed to make nuanced and effective dietary recommendations.

The conversation explores the importance of understanding phenomenology, establishing diagnostic categories, and conducting epidemiological studies. As well as the topics of neurodivergence and shamanic sickness, highlighting the need for understanding and support in these areas, and the challenges of recognising and relating to unusual experiences, as well as the tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices. Finally, Daniel shares his vision for the future, where knowledge and capabilities in these areas are equitably distributed and supported by scientific research. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group. What you'll learn from this episode: The integration of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare can lead to transformative experiences and intentional healing. Understanding phenomenology and establishing diagnostic categories are crucial for bridging the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. Epidemiological studies can provide insights into the impact of transformative experiences on mental wellbeing and society. Special projects related to military, security, space, and big data require careful consideration and ethical approaches. Normalization and connection with others who have had similar experiences can be healing and provide support. Understanding and support for neurodivergence and shamanic sickness are important in the context of spiritual and mystical experiences. Recognizing and relating to unusual experiences can be challenging, but pattern recognition and training can help healthcare professionals provide better care. There is a tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices, and it is important to find a balance that allows for both safety and inclusivity. The vision for the future includes a global clinical mainstream that has a sophisticated understanding of alternative healing practices and the ability to provide equitable access to knowledge and support.

By now, you've probably heard about the dangers of PFAS “forever chemicals.” These chemicals are all around us—they're in waterproof hiking boots, electronics, nonstick pans and even our drinking water—but there's no way for them to break down in our environment. Epidemiological studies have linked to these chemicals to numerous diseases—from kidney cancer, liver cancer, obesity, decreased fertility and more.American toxicologist Linda Birnbaum has been sounding the alarms about how PFAS are harming our health for the last few decades. She was previously the director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences at the NIH and is currently an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She explains that while we cannot completely avoid PFAS, there are steps we can take to limit our exposure.Subscribe to Big Brains on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Bryan T. Grenfell is a population biologist and professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Public Affairs at Princeton University. He proposed phylodynamics as a methodology to predict the infectious disease dynamics of RNA viruses by considering viral evolution, thus contributing to the development of research fields that integrate immune dynamics, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology. These achievements have been instrumental in understanding infection mechanisms of viruses such as COVID-19 and proposing effective infectious disease control policies. Awarded with the 2022 Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences, Grenfell will discuss population biology and the evolution of infectious diseases in his lecture, "Epidemiological and Evolutionary Dynamics of Pathogens in Time and Space".

It's been three years since the infamous COVID-19 lockdowns first began in the United States and much of the globe. A lot has changed since then, but the scars of the pandemic still remain. A phenomena which continues to perplex and frustrate the public and medical professionals alike is Long COVID. Jared examines this condition through various lenses in order to gain perspective on how we can best address the needs of a society in the process of healing.

Claudia talks to Christos Lynteris, an anthropologist with a long history of researching some of the interconnections between animals and disease. In this episode they focus on rats and the third plague pandemic highlighting how rats went from being understood as in relation to others to being cemented as a vilified species in the spread of disease.    Date Recorded: 29 September 2022 Christos Lynteris is Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. His research focuses on the anthropological and historical examination of epidemics and has pioneered the field of the anthropological study of zoonotic diseases.

"Getting vaccinated is the best line of defence against COVID-19". In the month of July 2022, in the state of New South Wales Australia, according to the government's own website, 663 people were reported to have died with COVID-19. Of those 663 people, 6 of them were not vaccinated at all, meaning 657 had received at least two doses of a vaccine. COVID-19 weekly surveillance reports Epidemiological week 26, ending 02 July 2022. Of the 116 people who were reported to have died with COVID-19, 115 were eligible for a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine but only 77 (67% of those eligible) had received a third dose. – Three of the cases had received no doses of a vaccine Epidemiological week 27, ending 09 July 2022. Of the 95 people who were reported to have died with COVID-19, all were eligible for a third dose of a COVID19 vaccine but only 62 (65% of those eligible) had received a third dose. – All cases had received at least two doses of a vaccine. Epidemiological week 28, ending 16 July 2022. Of the 142 people who were reported to have died with COVID-19, only 96 (68%) had received a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while another 46 were eligible for a third dose. – Two of these cases were not vaccinated. Epidemiological week 29, ending 23 July 2022. Of the 146 people who were reported to have died with COVID-19, all were eligible for a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 100 (68%) had received a third dose. – 1 was not vaccinated. Epidemiological week 30, ending 30 July 2022. Of the 164 people who were reported to have died with COVID-19, only 127 (77%) had received a third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while another 37 were eligible for but had not received a third dose. – All cases had received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. Getting vaccinated is the best line of defence against COVID-19? This is just my opinion.

Health research is complicated, no matter the scale or the scope. Global health research, however, brings with it particular issues. For the last decade, researchers in epidemiology have been pulled between issues related to research integrity and research fairness. Bridging the two is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Sandra Alba and Susan Rumisha. Dr. Sandra Alba is an epidemiologist at KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. For the past 15 years, she's been applying statistical and epidemiological methods to evaluate public health programs in low- and middle-income countries. Her research focuses on data quality and good epidemiological practice, more specifically the interplay between research integrity and research fairness in multi-disciplinary international research collaborations. Dr. Susan Rumisha, Senior Research Officer at Telethon Kids Institute and a biostatistician working in the field of public health and infectious disease epidemiology. Rumisha works on the Malaria Atlas Project and has over 15 years of experience in designing and conducting malaria and health system research. Her interests include applying advanced and modern statistical approaches to data from surveys, research, and routine health surveillance systems to generate evidence to guide decision-making processes in public health practice, policy formulation, and health systems performance, at national, regional and global levels.

Opioid and Naloxone Prescribing Following Insertion of Prompts in the Electronic Health Record to Encourage Compliance With California State Opioid Law [OPEN ACCESS] JAMA Network Open  In 2018, California passed Assembly Bill (AB) 2760, mandating coprescription of naloxone and opioids for patients with high overdose risk. The current study assessed whether electronic prompts were associated with increased naloxone orders and reduced opioid prescribing when integrated into the practitioner workflow. Naloxone order rate increased from 2% in December 2018 to 13.2% in January 2019 and then continued to increase to 27.1% in December 2019. Outpatient opioid prescribing rates decreased by 15.1% per prescriber-month and total MMEs per prescriber-month decreased by 7.8%, along with other improvements in safe opioid prescribing. Adding decision support prompts to the practitioner workflow encourages safe prescribing habits and can mitigate opioid overdose risks.   Epidemiological trends in opioid-only and opioid/polysubstance-related death rates among American Indian/Alaska Native populations from 1999 to 2019: a retrospective longitudinal ecological study [OPEN ACCESS] BMJ Open Deaths due to overdoses have been increasing in the United States over the last 2 decades, but little is known about the epidemic among American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) populations. In this study the authors use the National Center for Health Statistics Mortality database to examine overdose deaths between 1999 and 2019. Overdose deaths related to opioids increased significantly over the observation period, including deaths involving other substances, notably alcohol and methamphetamines. Overall overdose mortality rates, and specifically those related to opioids in combination with alcohol or methamphetamines, have been higher among AI/AN than in other racial and ethnic groups. This study highlights inequities in access to treatment for AI/AN populations, including lack of access to medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.    Effects of Buprenorphine Dose and Therapeutic Engagement on Illicit Opiate Use in Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Trials [OPEN ACCESS] International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health The authors identified 6 randomized clinical trials of buprenorphine efficacy and/or safety and performed a secondary analysis with lapse to substance use as the outcome variable. They developed a mathematical model to adjust for the effects of dose changes or missed doses during the study period (time-weighted dose). The 6 trials included 3022 participants. The mean (and median) dose was 12mg and ranged up to 32mg. Increased dose was found to be the most protective factor in preventing lapse to drug use. Also of benefit were increased interaction with clinicians and treatment center staff. The authors conclude that doses greater than that needed to prevent withdrawal are needed for maintenance treatment.     Association Between Receipt of Antidepressants and Retention in Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder: A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry This study examined the association between receiving antidepressants and retention in buprenorphine treatment. Receipt of antidepressants during buprenorphine treatment was significantly associated with reduced risk of treatment discontinuation, even after accounting for demographics, buprenorphine dosage, receipt of other psychotropic medications, co-occurring SUDs, psychiatric disorders, and pain conditions. Receiving antidepressants only prior to buprenorphine initiation was associated with an increased risk of treatment discontinuation. Using antidepressants concurrently during buprenorphine treatment is associated with improved treatment retention and highlights the importance of screening for and treating mental health disorders.   Delivering Remote Measurement-Based Care in Community Addiction Treatment: Engagement and Usability Over a 6-Month Clinical Pilot [OPEN ACCESS] Frontiers in Psychiatry Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice where patients routinely complete standardized measures throughout treatment to monitor clinical progress and inform clinical decision-making. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of incorporating a digital and remotely delivered MBC system into substance use disorder (SUD) treatment within a community setting.  Patient and clinician ratings of usability and clinical utility were favorable: most patients agreed with statements that the weekly check-in was easy to navigate and aided self-reflection. All clinicians who completed usability questionnaires agreed with statements indicating that the dashboard was easy to navigate and that it provided meaningful information for SUD treatment.   Evaluation of Trends in Alcohol Use Disorder–Related Mortality in the US Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic JAMA Network Open Alcohol sales and use have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and in this cross-sectional study utilizing the National Vital Statistic System, the authors examine alcohol use disorder (AUD)-related mortality changes. The study looks at AUD-related mortality trends between 2012 and 2019 to project expected mortality in 2020 and 2021, which were then compared to the observed rates. The authors found a significant increase in mortality rates across all ages in 2020 (30.74%) and 2021 (28.7%) compared to projected rates. In addition, the study found the increase was most profound among those aged 25-44 (40.47% and 33.95% increases). Interventions to address the increase in AUD-related mortality should consider changes in use related to the pandemic.    Wait No Longer: Reducing Medication Wait-Times for Individuals with Co-Occurring Disorders Journal of Dual Diagnosis Community addiction treatment agencies have utilized Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) to reduce appointment wait-times. This exploratory analysis evaluated the impact of the NIATx implementation strategies on reduced wait-times to addiction, psychotropic, or both medications for individuals with co-occurring disorders (COD).  NIATx implementation strategies reduced medication encounter wait-times but timing of agency improvements varied. Despite a significant improvement, a three-week wait-time to receive pharmacological interventions is suboptimal for those with a COD in need of immediate intervention. Community addiction treatment agencies should improve medication access so that their patients “wait no longer” to receive integrated treatment for their COD.   Prehospital Buprenorphine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder by Paramedics: First Year Results of the EMS Buprenorphine Use Pilot [OPEN ACCESS] Prehospital Emergency Care This study describes a program allowing EMS personnel to administer buprenorphine in the field to patients experiencing withdrawal (COWS>7) under the supervision of an Emergency Physician. Initial doses of 16 mg were administered and an additional 8mg were provided if needed. Substance use navigators facilitated connection with treatment and followed patient outcomes. Over the one-year trial period, 36 patients received buprenorphine. Treatment retention at seven days was 50% and 36% at 30 days. The authors conclude that EMS administered buprenorphine is feasible, safe, and has significant treatment retention at 30 days.  

In 2018, Matthew Walker was on a media blitz, promoting his book, Why We Sleep. I was one of the many people who picked up the book. It slowly ruined my sleep. But recently, I fixed it. No, this is not a takedown Before I go further, this is not a “takedown” of Why We Sleep, like the one that's been floating around. I've read that takedown, and I didn't find it convincing. I trust that Why We Sleep is mostly full of accurate information. I say “mostly,” because I understand Walker has been on a mission to elevate the importance of sleep. Sometimes you have to say something like “the shorter you sleep the shorter your life span,” for a sleep-deprived public to get the point, when, technically, research shows people who sleep longer than the recommended 7–9 hours live shorter lives. It's called rhetoric. When FDR said “we have nothing to fear but fear itself,” thankfully there weren't blogs to write pedantic takedowns of his logic. My complaints about Why We Sleep don't involve ill intentions. I'm sure Walker wants people to get more sleep. But I don't think the book has the effect he expected. Why Why We Sleep will scare the sleep out of you In Why We Sleep, Matthew Walker, PhD says if you don't sleep enough, you are at risk of the following: Obesity Cancer Dementia Alzheimer's Heart disease Depression Anxiety Diabetes Car crashes Lower income Low sperm count Deformed sperm Female infertility Not being able to jump as high Longer workout recovery Vulnerability to colds and flus (today, that also means COVID) Low testosterone Smaller testicles So, yeah, Walker makes not getting enough sleep sound extremely scary. If that's not enough to keep you awake at night, Walker also points out there's also a rare sleep disorder that develops in mid-life, where a person cannot sleep, and eventually dies. Again, I get that society is full of a lot of ignorant or toxic beliefs about sleep, such as “I'll sleep when I'm dead”. I may be in the minority in that I had the luxury of being able to take Walker's recommendation of 7–9 hours sleep to an extreme that actually harmed my ability to get enough sleep. I was doing everything right After reading Why We Sleep, I, like many people, decided I was going to take sleep more seriously. But, as a creative with an interest in the neuroscience of creativity, I had already been taking sleep pretty seriously. I already slept with earplugs and a mask. I already avoided screens before bedtime, and had for years worn blue-light-blocking goggles before bed. I already didn't read or watch TV in bed, and didn't allow electronics in my bedroom. I already didn't consume caffeine and rarely drank alcohol. I already lived a low-stress lifestyle with plenty of exercise and friends. I didn't and don't have kids that wake me up in the middle of the night. I already had a bedtime, and a nighttime routine, like I talked about on episode 259. I tried to do it right-er I was doing everything right. Where I went wrong was trying to follow Walker's recommendation of 7–9 hours of sleep per night. The way I went about that: Stay in bed until I got eight hours of sleep. At first, it wasn't a big deal. I would occasionally wake up much earlier than I had intended. But I brought to mind a graph from the book, which showed that sleep cycles come in ninety-minute increments. Now, this wasn't a recommendation from Dr. Walker, and was my big mistake: I figured that since sleep cycles came in ninety-minute increments, if I happened to wake up too early, all I had to do was stay in bed until I could fall asleep again – which could take as long as ninety minutes. Yes, I understand I'm incredibly privileged to have the luxury of being able to stay in bed an extra ninety minutes just to fall asleep again. But, as an author, my ability to be productive is more a matter of mind management than it is of time management. It doesn't matter, to some extent, how long it takes me to get enough sleep, but I need that sleep to get in the right state of mind to do my work. At first, this technique worked. When I woke up too early to get eight hours of sleep, I stayed in bed until I fell asleep again, and got my eight hours. Eventually, I settled on a rule: Most people use an alarm clock so they can get out of bed early. I, instead, set a time until which I had to stay in bed. For me, that was 8 a.m. If I slept past 8 a.m., that was fine, but if I woke up before 8 a.m., I stayed in bed until then. So, I was going to bed around 11 p.m., and staying in bed for nine, sometimes ten hours. If I was sleepy, I'd go to bed earlier, but I'd still stay in bed until 8 a.m. This went fine, until early-morning insomnia kicked in. It's 3 a.m. I must be lonely (and awake) There are many kinds of insomnia, but they mostly consist of either sleep-onset insomnia or early-morning insomnia. I didn't and still don't have much trouble falling asleep (thanks to my nighttime routine). My problem was, waking up way too early. Not 5 a.m., but 3 a.m., and I was awake. My thoughts were racing, my heart was pounding, and I could not get back to sleep. I shared this problem with a number of friends. It turns out a lot of people have this problem. But multiple friends told me, “Matthew Walker's book ruined my sleep.” Then, they all happened to recommend the same book to me, which had fixed their sleep. Enter Say Goodnight to Insomnia Why We Sleep takes the approach of telling you sleep is so important, if you don't do it you'll die. The book, Say Goodnight to Insomnia takes the opposite perspective. It essentially tells you, not to worry about sleep. Here's some things it actually tells you: You can function fine without enough sleep. As long as you're, in the long run, getting at least 5.5 hours of sleep a night, you're fine. If you feel bad after a night of poor sleep, you're probably blaming the effects on poor sleep, when they might be caused by something else – such as stress, nutrition, or normal variations. Insomniacs generally get only a couple hours less sleep than normal people, and don't perform any less well. Your body compensates for a poor night of sleep by sleeping better the following night. People often mistake light, Stage 2 sleep, as wakefulness. So even when you think you're not sleeping, you might be! The book was published in 2009, so I don't know how true all of this still is, but to some extent, it doesn't matter. That's because Say Goodnight to Insomnia is essentially a self-administered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program for insomnia, developed at Harvard Medical School. It's all about restructuring your thoughts about sleep, so you can settle into a routine where you're getting as much sleep as you need, not causing undue stress about all the things that will go wrong if you don't get an arbitrarily-recommended amount of sleep. Hours-sleep recommendations are arbitrary Did I just say Matthew Walker's sleep recommendations are arbitrary? Well, they kind of are. Here's why: For one, there's a difference between self-reported sleep, and actual sleep (in fairness, this is in the takedown I mentioned earlier). People who say they slept six hours tend to have actually slept five. People who say they've slept seven and a half hours, tend to have actually slept seven. Self-reported versus actual sleep duration is all over the board, and the discrepancy varies according to a bunch of factors. We can't study sleep interventions across populations This is hard enough to deal with when trying to figure out how much you've slept, but when you're trying to study the effects of sleep, over long periods of time, across entire populations, it's simply impossible. Researchers have to use self-reports, which are unreliable. And it's not practical to randomly split up the population into two groups and say, “You people, sleep a ton!,” and “You people, don't sleep more than five hours a night. Oh, and both of you, do this for life!” So we can't know how much sleep you need So while studies show people who get little sleep are at a higher risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and we can piece together studies to form an explanation of how a lack of sleep might cause Alzheimer's, we can't really know if it's being caused by a voluntary lack of sleep, or if the same thing that causes Alzheimer's also causes a lack of sleep. Even if we did know, for sure, how much sleep exactly do you need in order to prevent Alzheimer's? Epidemiological studies covering large populations are self-reported, so we don't know how much sleep these subjects are actually getting. Yes, that is changing as more people are using personal sleep-tracking devices. But we still can't force random sections of the population to get more or less sleep, and people who wear these devices are a self-selected group of people. I don't have one, and don't want one. Turn negative into positive sleep thoughts When you worry about not getting enough sleep, you're having what Say Goodnight to Insomnia author, Gregg D. Jacobs, PhD, calls “Negative Sleep Thoughts,” or NSTs for short. What do you tell yourself when you can't sleep? Things like, “I won't be able to function tomorrow,” “I feel terrible because I didn't sleep well last night,” and “Everyone else has an easy time sleeping.” If you've read Matthew Walker's book, you can add to that, “If I don't get enough sleep, I'll get diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's, and won't be able to jump as high.” Say Goodnight to Insomnia program summary Here's the gist of how the Say Goodnight to Insomnia program works. Each chapter ends with a sleep journal. For the first week, you record your baseline patterns: What time did you go to bed, and to sleep? How many times did you wake up, and for how long? How do you rate the quality of your sleep? Each week of the program, Jacobs introduces a new way to assess your sleep, and turn poor sleep habits into better sleep habits. In week one, he introduces you to “cognitive restructuring.” Every time you have a Negative Sleep Thought, you turn it around into a Positive Sleep Thought. So if you think, “I'm sleeping terribly tonight,” you remind yourself that you're probably sleeping more than you think, and that you'll sleep better tomorrow if you don't sleep well today. In week two, he introduces you to the concept of “sleep efficiency,” or the percentage of time that you're in bed, during which you're actually sleeping. Sleep restriction therapy This is also when Jacobs introduces you to “sleep restriction,” which is the main component of the treatment program, and has been found to be incredibly effective for insomnia. Jacobs instructs you to take your baseline average amount of sleep, and add one hour to it. That's how long you're allowed to be in bed. For me, I was averaging about six hours of sleep, so, adding an hour to that, I could stay in bed for seven hours. My desired wake-up time was 7 a.m., so that meant I had to stay out of bed until midnight. Midnight has historically been my latest target bedtime, but I was only sleeping six hours a night, so staying up until midnight was crazy hard. It felt impossible. Some nights, I could hardly keep my eyes open at 10:30 p.m. I was reading the same sentence over and over, as I nearly lost my ability to hold my Kindle. I had to get up and pace around, or practice putting, on my hallway rug. Don't condition yourself to be awake in bed As you can imagine, by the time I was allowed to go to bed, I didn't have much trouble falling asleep. I still sometimes woke up in the middle of the night, and so I followed Dr. Jacobs' advice: If you're wide awake, don't toss and turn and frustratingly struggle to sleep. Ideally, you should get out of your bed, and read until you feel tired again. But if you're tired enough that getting out of bed seems impossible, Dr. Jacobs says it's okay to sit up in bed while you read, so long as you don't do so for longer than an hour. So, if I were to boil down the Say Goodnight to Insomnia program into three principles, they would be the following: Restructure your thoughts around sleep. So, don't tell yourself horror stories about not being able to sleep. Trust that, with healthy sleep hygiene, your body is capable of letting you know when it needs sleep. Keep your sleep efficiency up. Dr. Jacobs recommends that you restrict sleep until you have 85% sleep efficiency for at least two weeks. In other words, 85% of the time you're in bed, you're asleep. Only after two weeks at that level can you add fifteen minutes to your time in bed. Condition yourself to sleep while in bed. My mistake was that by spending a lot of time in bed, in an effort to get enough sleep, I was spending a lot of time in bed when I was not sleeping. This is extra-harmful if that time you spend not sleeping is spent worrying about how you're not sleeping enough. Your bed is for only two things, and most of what you should do in bed is sleep. After following Dr. Jacobs' program for a few weeks, and diligently recording my sleep in the sleep journal at the end of each chapter – which I copied onto a paper with my typewriter – I was convinced it had done nothing for me. My results with Say Goodnight to Insomnia But, in fact, upon reviewing my journal, I realized it was working. After a few weeks, the Say Goodnight to Insomnia program had me waking up in the middle of the night less often, and for shorter periods, and my self-rated sleep quality had increased. By the end of the six week program, my sleep had improved on about every dimension, including sleep quality, sleep efficiency, and average amount of sleep. I will say that naps were a saving grace during this program. During the first couple weeks of sleep restriction, there were some nights where I got less than five hours of sleep. Like the book said, I was still able to function, but mercifully, Dr. Jacobs said it was okay to nap no longer than forty-five minutes, no later than 4 p.m. Say Goodnight to the damage done by Why We Sleep The intention of Matthew Walker's book, Why We Sleep is correct – sleep is vitally important. But, how much sleep do you need? Unless you have a sleep disorder – which you should absolutely check for with your doctor – if you're keeping good sleep hygiene, such as a nighttime routine, and are making sure you sleep efficiently and think positively about your relationship with sleep, as recommended by Dr. Jacobs – what more can you do?

Having a chronic physical health condition such as osteoarthritis can have a negative effect on mental health which commonly manifests as depression or anxiety. Epidemiological research has shown that most adults with common mental health conditions do not access psychologically-based treatments. This is due to many reasons including costs, stigma, long waiting lists and availability outside of major cities. Professor Blake Dear joins us to discuss the impact of mental health on the management of osteoarthritis and effective psychological treatments that can help to improve mental health in the long-term. Professor Blake Dear is a Senior Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Psychology at Macquarie University. Blake completed his postgraduate Masters training at the University of Western Sydney in 2006 and later completed his PhD in 2010. Blake is the Director of the eCentreClinic; a research unit that develops and evaluates a range of psychologically-based treatments for common mental health and chronic physical health conditions. He is passionate about increasing access to effective psychological treatment, particularly for adults struggling with chronic physical health conditions.

What is the Latino Epidemiological Paradox? Are Latinos in the U.S. healthier that we think? Could it have provided foresight on how COVID-19 would hit Latino communities harder than others? In this episode, Dr. David Hayes-Bautista shares how he realized data often tells a different story than that which we know of, and explains what the Latino Epidemiological Paradox is and how who's telling the story really matters.
