What does it mean to be free? It's a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you've ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you've experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he's a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.In this episode, we dive into:What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a mythA groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with ageWhy fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose aloneThe surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic functionBen's top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolismBen's approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health. Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.Links:

This episode of Bioethics in the Margins features a panel of bioethicists: Danielle Pacia of The Hastings Center, Sana Baban of UMass Chan Medical School, J. Wesley Boyd of Harvard Medical School, and Ryan Dougherty of Kaiser Permanente. They are the co-authors of a national survey exploring the role of social justice in their field, published in the American Journal of Bioethics: Empirical Bioethics. In this conversation, the authors discuss their key findings on what social justice obligations bioethicists feel they have, the concept of "social bioethics," and the duty of the field to address systemic injustice. We start by defining the term "social justice" and discussing how it relates to the four principles of bioethics. We spend some time unpacking the methods of the study including strengths and limitations. The main finding - that >80% of bioethicists surveyed believe that social justice should be part of their work - is contextualized by exploring how social justice can add information and objectivity to our work. The episode ends with some reflections by the authors on how we can move forward in the field with these important tools.Work cited in this episode: Pacia DM, Baban SS, Fletcher FE, Mithani Aziz Z, Cooper JF, Boyd JW, Dougherty RJ.

Cath procedure, CABG, PCI, death H stands for History Ask 1) Was the patient diaphoretic? 2) Did they have nausea and/or vomiting? 3) Did the pain radiate down the right or left arm? 4) Was it exertional? Yes to one = one point. Two or more = two points. E stands for EKG One point for left ventricular hypertrophy, t-wave inversions, new bundle-branch blocks. No points for first degree AV block, benign early repolarization, or QT-prolongation Two points for ST-depression A stands for Age >65 gets two points 45-64 gets one point R stands for Risk factors Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, family history, smoking, previous MI, previous CABG, stroke, peripheral arterial disease 1-2 risk factors get 1 point More than two risk factors gets two points T stands for Troponin 1-3x upper limit of normal gets one point >3x upper limit of normal gets two points This gives you a score between zero and ten 0-3 points, patients have a ~2% chance of an adverse event These patients likely go home 4-6 points, patients have a ~20% chance of an adverse event These patients get admitted or expedited outpatient stress test/echo 7-10 points, patients have a ~60% chance of an adverse event Admit and call cardiology.

The Discovery of Genomic Imprinting (Azim Surani)

In this episode, Professor Asim Surani, shares how his extensive research has significantly advanced the understanding of how the mammalian germline is specified, the mechanisms governing epigenetic reprogramming, and the critical conditions that maintain genomic integrity during early development. The discussion, led by Dr. Stefan Dillinger, provides an overview of Surani's journey into biology, the evolution of his research interests, and the pivotal discoveries that have shaped the field of epigenetics. Dr. Surani discusses the groundbreaking experiment he co-conducted in 1984 that led to the discovery of genomic imprinting. Initially a student involved in in vitro fertilization at Cambridge, he became intrigued by the implications of parthenogenesis in mammals. Challenging the prevailing cytoplasmic theory of development, Surani and his collaborators demonstrated that normal mammalian development requires contributions from both parental genomes, leading to the introduction of the concept of genomic imprinting—a term Surani defended to describe the phenomenon that he and his team observed. Surani's research then evolved toward understanding the mechanisms of genomic imprinting, particularly the role of DNA methylation. Throughout the interview, he details specific experiments that elucidated how genes could exhibit imprinted expression depending on the parental lineage, highlighting the importance of epigenetic factors in gene regulation. The revelation that DNA methylation marks were responsible for imprinting solidified the connection between genetic information and epigenetic influence in development. The conversation dives deeper into the mechanisms involved in germline specification and epigenetic reprogramming. Surani explains his transition into studying mammalian germline development and the intricacies of primordial germ cell specification. Working with his team, he utilized single-cell approaches to investigate gene expression profiles specific to germ cells, identifying critical factors like PRDM1 and PRDM14 that repress somatic gene programs while initiating germline-specific pathways. This work underscored the complex interplay of genetic and epigenetic factors that govern the development of germ cells. Another focus of the interview is the comparison of epigenetic resetting between mouse and human germlines. Surani addresses key differences in the timing and mechanisms of epigenetic reprogramming in humans, particularly the involvement of specific factors such as SOX17, which emerged as a crucial player in human germline specification, contrary to his earlier expectations. The discussion also highlights the technical challenges researchers face when studying human embryos due to ethical constraints, driving innovation in model systems such as stem cells to explore germline development.   References Surani MA, Barton SC, Norris ML.

Content warning:  arson, assault, fetal abduction, kidnapping, attempted murder, murder, substance use, and substance use disorder. As shared in part one, Angelique Robledo is an incredible mother and survivor living in Arizona. She was born in Southern California, but after a pivotal move nearly four hundred miles east in her middle school years, she found herself having trouble fitting in. Several years later, and not long after finding out she was pregnant, Angelique was introduced (by a mutual friend) to a Maricopa newcomer who she seemed to have a lot in common with. Over the next several months she would get to know the also-18-year-old via text and social media; they would discuss their pregnancies and build what Angelique considered a friendship. But everything changed on February 16, 2011, when their burgeoning relationship became nearly lethal. The Broken Cycle Media team is deeply honored and grateful that Angelique was willing to so rawly share about her experiences and all that came next for her after courageously surviving an alleged attempted fetal abduction and attempted arson.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Petra Hajkova from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences about her work on epigenetics research on mammalian development, highlighting DNA methylation, histone modifications, and TET enzymes, along with her journey in molecular genetics and future research on epigenetic maintenance. Dr. Hajkova's early work focused on DNA methylation and resulted in innovative collaboration that allowed her to develop bisulfide sequencing techniques. We discuss her transition to the UK, where she began working in Azim Surani's lab at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Hajkova describes the excitement of researching chromatin dynamics in the mouse germline, leading to significant findings published in Nature. Her story highlights the intense yet rewarding nature of postdoctoral research as she navigated the complexities of working with embryos for the first time. As her research progressed, Dr. Hajkova established her own lab at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences, where she became a professor in 2017. We delve into her investigations on the differences between embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells regarding their distinct developmental origins. Dr. Hajkova outlines the challenges she faced in understanding the mechanisms behind global DNA demethylation in germline cells and the role of hydroxymethylation during early development. The discussion further covers her exciting findings regarding the specific functions of TET enzymes and their regulatory roles in maintaining epigenetic states. We explore her recent research published in Nature, which provides insights into the transition from primordial germ cells to gonocytes, emphasizing the significance of various epigenetic mechanisms in germline development.   References Hajkova P, Ancelin K, Waldmann T, Lacoste N, Lange UC, Cesari F, Lee C, Almouzni G, Schneider R, Surani MA.

Could pretreating these patients with calcium lower the risk of hypotension? Dr Jarvis puts on his nerd hat and uses Bayesian analysis to assess a new randomized, placebo-controlled study that looked at just this thing. Why is he going off on this Bayes thing?

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: How do we take care of kids in severe pain? There are many non-pharmacologic options for pain (i.e. ice, elevation) as well as more conventional medication options (i.e. acetaminophen, NSAIDS) but in severe pain stronger medications might be indicated. These stronger medications include options such as IV morphine, a subdissociative dose of ketamine, as well as intranasal fentanyl. Intranasal fentanyl has many advantages: Studies have shown it might be more effective early on in controlling pain, as in the first 15-20 minutes after administration, and then becomes equivalent to other pain control options Total adverse effects were also lower with IN fentanyl, including low rates of nausea and vomiting To administer, use the IV formulation with an atomizer and spray into the nose; therefore, you do not need an IV line Dose is 1-2 micrograms per kilogram, can be redosed once at 10 minutes.  Don't forget about gabapentinoids for neuropathic pain, muscle relaxants for muscle spasms, and nerve blocks when appropriate.

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily III, Part I

Philokalia Ministries

Upon reading the beginning of this homily, one clearly gets the sense that Saint Isaac the Syrian wants our understanding of the spiritual life, who we are as human beings, and a relationship with God (who has created us in His image and likeness), to be set on a foundation that is unshakable. One must love Isaac for the effort! He is giving us eyes to see.  He began by presenting us with an image of a soul who truly abides in her nature, and so comes to penetrate into and understand the wisdom of God. Knowing nothing of the impediment of the passions, the soul is lifted up toward God and is astonished and struck with wonder. This is Isaac's starting point for a reason. He wants us to regain what over the course of time has been lost; that is, our perception the beauty and wonder of how God has created us and our natural capacity for love and virtue. Furthermore, it is not just about perception but the experience of being God bearers and temples of the Holy Spirit. It is about our deification.  What has distorted or understanding is the emergence of the passions and how we have come to view them. Isaac tells us categorically that the soul by nature is passionless. We are created in God‘s image and likeness and it is only the emergence of sin that has darken that which was created to be filled with light. Thus, when a soul is moved in a passionate way, she is outside her nature. The passions have the ability to move the soul after the fall. There's a radical communion between body and soul and with sin our experience of the world through the senses and in our desires and appetites become distorted. The break of communion with God leads to an internal break within us as human beings; a fragmentation on the deepest level of our existence. What is the nature of a soul created for communion when it pursues autonomy from the one who created her in love? Is it not only the loss of unity with God but within ourselves and our capacity to experience and reflect our true dignity?  Saint Isaac makes us work in these paragraphs and grapple to understand what he's saying. Yet, it is a labor of love; for it is upon the foundation of this understanding of our nature that we will once again be able to see the wonder and beauty of how God has created us and experience the healing necessary to reflect this wondrous reality to the world. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:17:20 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 127, paragraph 1 00:31:07 Lindsey Funair: When I hear the memories of the soul grow old, it reminds me that the soul knows not ego or attachment, it remembers only what is worthy of taking to Paradise, only that that is in Love. That is all there is once the world and self-love and other things that are not Love, is filtered from our memory. 00:31:13 Anthony: It's important to say that Isaac was born into a time and geography of turmoil and he wasn't living in comfort locked away from the outside. 00:31:43 Maureen Cunningham: Washington Carfer 00:31:52 Maureen Cunningham: Carver 00:33:02 Troyce Garrett Quimpo: This sections reminds me of St John of the Cross's Purgative Way. 00:36:11 Anthony: George Washington Carver 00:36:20 Vanessa: famous Black inventer 00:40:08 Maureen Cunningham: Yes George Washington Carver thank you , a little book I read . A Man who talked to flowers. 00:40:34 Anthony: I think when Isaac refers to philosophers he might have in mind the humors that dominate a man or the astrologers who Forcast about a person. 00:42:08 Lindsey Funair: it helps me to think of passions in this sense of Maslow's entire hierarchy, those things which are necessary to life and living and connecting with others and doing good, but when focused on directly become a distraction from the humility and obedience which place us "in" our soul and in relative connection to God 00:42:08 Manuel: How this idea that the soul is passionless by nature fit in with the opening of the Philokalia “There is among the passions an anger of the intellect, and this anger is in accordance with nature. Without anger a man cannot attain purity”? 00:44:25 Vanessa: When I went to university, I always thought the academics disciplines were centered around "explaining the world without God." 00:44:51 Anthony: I wrote it 00:44:56 Kathy Locher: What in our nature would have made us susceptible to temptation. Especially, given that we were living in Eden in God's company? 00:45:31 Ryan N: Father what would your response be to those who emphasize the importance of the body because it is equally made in the image and likeness of God ( not just the soul) 00:46:35 Myles Davidson: Reacted to "What in our nature w..." with
