In the next six podcast episodes, I will give you six of the ‘whisper-in-your-ear' complete lessons from HomeKit, the first audio kit to help you get unstuck in sticky situations.Here are the six topics:1. Anxiety2. Assertiveness3. Discipline4. Expressing Love5. Procrastination6. StressEach of the lessons consists ofI. An introductionII. Three strategiesIII. Three rationales---Today, we will start with Anxiety.AnxietyWhat is anxiety?Anxiety is experiencing failure... in advance.Here's How:1. To recompose...back into your body (listen to the experiential exercise in the audio).2. Convert Anxiety into Fear.3. Convert your worrying into planning.Here's Why:1. To Worry = To ‘Strangulate'. Travelling at the speed of light causes anxiety. Learn to travel at the speed of life.2. Dealing with anxiety can sometimes feel too vague and nebulous, like catching clouds. By converting it into fear, you name it and have a better chance of healing it.3. Worries goes in circles; planning goes in an intentional direction.For more on Homekit, go to darylchow.com/homekit---Subscribe to Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development (FPD).

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com We are recording this at the Air Force Air, Space, & Cyber Conference. During the second day of the conference, General B. Chance Saltman, Chief of Space Operations at the Space Force, talked about a “focus on readiness.” Our guest, Rob Bocek from Virtualitics begins the interview by talking about the concept of readiness being applied to AI. In fact, Bocek recently did an in-depth discussion of this topic at a conference he led titled The Frontiers of AI for Readiness. Today, we combine some of the lessons learned from that gathering with some of the goals and aspirations that were given at presentations at this year's Air Force Air, Space, & Cyber Conference. In a wide-ranging interview, Bocek comments on topics like guardrails, leadership, procurement, and collaboration. GUARDRAILS Even the casual observer will notice that AI will have an impact on the DoD. However, the DoD deals with life and death decisions daily and cannot be subject to data poisoning and LLM attacks. During the interview, Bocek commented on implementing guardrails when experimenting with AI. LEADERSHIP In the corporate world, leaders will justify a blind jump into AI with assertions like, “if they don't jump in, their competitors will.”  The DoD deals with much more than a profit and loss statement. Military leaders must step up with understanding the positives and negatives of AI, and lead technology experts into correct implementations. PROCUREMENT When General B. Chance Saltman was presenting nobody in the audience thought he would include acquisition reform as one of his three main points. He reinforced the concept of living in a contested world where adversaries can adapt quickly, and the American military cannot be held back by antiquated procurement processes. Listen to the podcast to get an idea of some of the solutions available for federal leaders trying to use AI in a responsible manner.    

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide in the context of researching measurable predictive indicators and the lack thereof in the context of cyber. Episode NotesDr Caputo's path from social psychology to applied security, including intelligence analysis and building a behavioural-science team at MITRE.What MITRE is: a not-for-profit operating six federally funded R&D centres that provide independent, public-interest research alongside government.Why early “indicator” hunting on endpoints often chased the last bad case; shifting to experiments and known-bad/created-bad data to learn patterns of behaviour change.The LinkedIn recruiter field experiment: ethically approved creation of recruiter personas, staged outreach in three messages, and follow-up interviews to understand reporting barriers.What user-activity monitoring can and cannot tell you; the role of human judgement and programme design.Insider-risk is not only “malicious users”: designing programmes for negligent, mistaken or outsmarted behaviours as well.Current lines of work include improving employee recognition and reporting of malicious elicitations and exploring whether insider-risk telemetry offers early signals of suicide risk.Why multidisciplinary teams beat solo efforts in insider-risk operations.About our guest:Dr. Deanna D.

Le matcha, ce thé vert en poudre très concentré, est souvent présenté comme une super-boisson grâce à ses antioxydants et ses composés bénéfiques. Mais est-il dangereux pour la santé ? Les études scientifiques permettent d'apporter une réponse nuancée.Les bienfaits avérésPlusieurs recherches mettent en avant des effets positifs. Une revue critique publiée dans Frontiers in Nutrition décrit que le matcha améliore le métabolisme du glucose, réduit l'inflammation, favorise la perte de graisse et pourrait avoir un effet protecteur sur la cognition. Une étude randomisée publiée dans Nutrients a montré qu'il pouvait influencer favorablement le microbiote intestinal. Enfin, une synthèse publiée dans Food Research International souligne sa richesse en EGCG, un puissant antioxydant, ainsi que son potentiel effet bénéfique sur la santé cardiovasculaire et le stress oxydatif.Les risques potentielsCependant, la consommation de matcha n'est pas exempte de précautions. Le premier point concerne sa teneur en caféine. Plus concentré que le thé vert classique, le matcha peut provoquer nervosité, insomnie ou palpitations chez les personnes sensibles. Ensuite, les catéchines et tanins qu'il contient réduisent l'absorption du fer non héminique. Des nutritionnistes rappellent que cela peut poser problème chez les femmes en âge de procréer, les végétariens ou toute personne à risque de carence en fer.Autre limite : les effets sur le foie. Des cas de perturbations hépatiques ont été rapportés avec des compléments à base de thé vert très concentré. Même si les doses de matcha en boisson restent généralement bien en dessous, cela incite à la prudence pour ceux qui en consomment de grandes quantités ou présentent des fragilités hépatiques. Enfin, comme tout produit végétal, la qualité est déterminante : des analyses ont mis en avant le risque potentiel de contamination par des métaux lourds ou pesticides si le matcha n'est pas produit correctement.ConclusionLe matcha n'est pas dangereux lorsqu'il est consommé avec modération. Ses bénéfices – antioxydants, soutien métabolique et possible protection cognitive – sont bien documentés. Mais des excès ou une consommation inadaptée peuvent poser problème, surtout en cas de sensibilité à la caféine, de carence en fer ou de troubles hépatiques. Les experts recommandent de ne pas dépasser une à deux tasses par jour, de le consommer loin des repas riches en fer et de privilégier des produits de qualité. Hébergé par Acast.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Quick-Glance Summary I walk you through an MIT experiment where 54 EEG-capped volunteers wrote essays three ways: pure brainpower, classic search, and ChatGPT assistance. Brain-only writers lit up the most neurons and produced the freshest prose; the ChatGPT crowd churned out near-identical essays, remembered little, and racked up what the researchers dub cognitive debt : the interest you pay later for outsourcing thought today. A bonus “switch” round yanked AI away from the LLM devotees (cue face-plant) and finally let the brain-first team play with the toy (they coped fine), proving skills first, tools second. I spiced the tale with calculator nostalgia, a Belgian med-exam cheating fiasco, and Professor Felienne's forklift-in-the-gym metaphor to land one mantra: *scaffolds beat shortcuts*. We peeked at tech “enshittification” once investors demand returns, whispered “open-source” as the escape hatch, and I dared you to try a two-day test—outline solo, draft with AI, revise solo, then check what you still remember. Net takeaway: keep AI on a leash; let thinking drive, tools navigate . If you think I'm full of digital hot air, record your own rebuttal and prove it. Resources MIT study MIT Media Lab. (2025).

Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism (W.W. Norton, 2025) is an in-depth analysis into the growing industry of green technologies and the environmental, social, and political consequences of the mining it requires. In the fight against climate change, lithium's role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems, she examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes center stage in national politics, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations, commodity markets, and powerful investors. Riofrancos traces the history of global extraction from colonial conquest, to the 1970s energy crisis, to the still uncertain green future. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. Across the world's extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism—but also witness inspiring visions for our planetary future.

The second installment in a two-part exploration of Simon(e) Weil for the ongoing Antifascist Christianity series and the Antifascist Woodshed project.  At the heart of the episode is Weil's terse, luminous definition of love—“belief in the existence of other human beings as such”—and Richard Gilman-Opalsky's unpacking of how that love rejects projections and demands the generosity of attention, shared joys and miseries, and a deprivatized ethic of care. Matthew contrasts this with caricatures of Weil as an ascetic or body-denier, arguing instead for a portrait of a neurodivergent activist whose stressed nervous system made hypocrisy intolerable and whose spirituality emerged from embodied encounters.  Weil presented a lot of scrambling data—gender nonconformity, ambivalent sexuality, eating and touch aversions, migraines and hypergraphia. Theological and philosophical commentators often pathologize or misread Weil, while sidestepping their autism. As for Weil's Christianity: it wasn't about churchly allegiance but an experiential, anti-hypocrisy faith that found Jesus in direct action and in taking liturgical symbols seriously enough to live them. For Weil, “this is my body” became a present-tense statement of antifascist solidarity: the breaking and sharing of bread and body as an F-you to the imperials, and a call to communal repair.

Today, I am delighted to reconnect with two previous guests, Dr. Darren Candow. Dr. Candow is a distinguished professor and an internationally renowned researcher on creatine monohydrate, nutrition, and physical activity, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with on Episode 301, where we discussed creatine.  We are doing an AMA session today, delving into various themes surrounding creatine, from debunking outdated RDA recommendations to exploring the synergies between strength training and creatine efficacy. We examine the cognitive benefits of creatine, investigating its interactions with caffeine and its implications for bone health, hydration, anabolic resistance, and metabolic health.  You will find today's AMA session as enlightening and enriching as I did while recording it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The safety and efficacy of creatine as a supplement How creatine increases muscle mass and reduces protein catabolism The benefits of combining creatine with protein  Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout? How creatine supplementation may improve brain performance and mental clarity Why exercise is essential for those who want to experience the benefits of creatine for maintaining their bone health The benefits of resistance-band workouts for post-menopausal women Are there any age-related limits for creatine supplementation? Bio: Dr. Darren Candow Dr. Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, is Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Canada.

Anil argues the “software vs. hardware” split is a blinding metaphor—consciousness may be bound to living substrate—while Michael counters that machines can tap the same platonic space biology does. We tour their radical lab work—xenobots, compositional agents, and interfaces that bind unlike parts—and probe psychophysics in strange new beings, “islands of awareness,” and what Levin's bubble-sort “side quests” imply for reading LLM outputs. Anil brings information theory and Granger causality into the mix to rethink emergence and scale—not just computation. Along the way: alignment, agency, and how to ask better scientific questions. If you're into AI/consciousness, evolution without programming, or whether silicon could ever feel—this one's for you.

Matthew begins a two-part exploration of Simone Weil—French philosopher, mystic, and antifascist activist—through the lens of autism, embodiment, and political courage. Following the earlier Antifascist Christianity Woodshed series on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this installment positions Weil as a kind of spiritual auntie to Greta Thunberg, whose uncompromising honesty, rooted in autistic perception, continues to disrupt fascist, capitalist, and liberal narrative. Matthew traces Weil's journey from childhood acts of solidarity, like giving up sugar during WW1, to her immersion in factory labor, revolutionary syndicalism, and frontline service in the Spanish Civil War. Weil's refusal of privilege and their lifelong impulse to take on suffering emerge as core features of both her philosophy and her autistic experience. They also stood up to Leon Trotsky, calling out Soviet authoritarianism long before its collapse. Weil can be understood not only through the posthumous notebooks and essays that editors and institutions reshaped into seventeen volumes, but through the lived reality of their embodied resistance. Their ideas remain striking: the notion of attention as the rarest form of generosity; the insistence that obligations come before rights; the practice of “decreation” as a release of ego in the service of love; and the “need for roots” as an antifascist alternative to blood-and-soil nationalism. Part 2 of this series drops Monday on Patreon, where Matthew goes deeper into Weil's autistic traits, their spiritual life, and how their philosophy continues to confront liberalism and fascism alike.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we dive into the latest news and analysis about one of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss and metabolic health.Let us jump right in with some breaking research. According to The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, new clinical trial data shows that a triple-dose of Ozempic, meaning 7.2 milligrams weekly, resulted in almost nineteen percent average weight loss in adults without diabetes. That is a substantial jump compared to the sixteen percent with the standard 2.4 milligram dose, and only around four percent with a placebo. Nearly half of those on the higher dose lost at least twenty percent of their body weight, and a third saw weight reductions of twenty-five percent or more. Even among adults with type 2 diabetes, the higher dose achieved thirteen percent weight loss, compared to ten percent with the lower dose. Waistlines, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol all improved on the higher dose. Safety remained solid, with the most common side effects being manageable nausea and diarrhea that usually settled down over time. Importantly, there was no increase in serious adverse events.Now, for lifestyle impacts and long-term use. A population-wide study presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes reports that half of people who start Ozempic for weight loss stop taking it within a year. Cost is a major factor, with the lowest dose costing around two thousand Euros a year in some areas. Younger adults and people from lower income neighborhoods were far more likely to discontinue, likely due to financial barriers. Adverse effects like nausea, and pre-existing conditions, played a role as well. The study found that men were more likely to stop early than women, and adherence was especially hard for those with a history of psychiatric conditions or chronic illness. That is concerning, since people with these conditions often need the benefits the most. Once people stop the medication, weight is often regained, showing just how important it is to find sustainable approaches to weight management.On the topic of who benefits most, a study in Frontiers in Clinical Diabetes and Healthcare highlighted that emotional eating can reduce the effectiveness of Ozempic. The medication is best for people who overeat due to external cues like the smell or appearance of food, rather than for those who eat in response to boredom, anxiety, or sadness. Health experts now recommend that healthcare providers assess a person's relationship with food before prescribing Ozempic or its counterparts. If emotional eating is a primary issue, psychological support may be necessary alongside medication.For those worried about cardiovascular risks, the REACH study presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes confirmed that Ozempic stands out for reducing cardiovascular risk, even among those with multiple chronic conditions. Large-scale, real-world data reinforce its value, particularly in older populations who often have comorbidities like heart disease.Let us also touch on a warning that has emerged: rapid weight loss with medications like Ozempic can cause muscle loss, particularly in women and older adults. While the fat loses fast, it is essential to protect muscle mass with diet and exercise. Experts stress that lifestyle habits—good nutrition, adequate sleep, and physical activity—remain crucial for long-term results, even when taking medication.To sum up, Ozempic continues to make headlines for its effectiveness, but sticking with the medication is a challenge for many due to cost, side effects, and complex eating habits. Emotional and physical health both need to be addressed for the best outcomes. As always, open discussion with healthcare professionals about individual goals, potential barriers, and long-term maintenance is vital.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Dr. T and Truth Fairy are reunited for this episode and introduce a new episode structure to listeners. Each episode will examine, in three parts, the research and clinical research angle of a topic, then practical clinical perspectives, and, finally, a potential guest to weigh in on the topic. In this, part one, Dr. T and Truth explore the relationships between trauma, dissociation, and psychedelic therapy. They dig into how dissociation shows up on a spectrum - from everyday experiences like daydreaming to severe structural dissociation rooted in early trauma and survival responses.  In the trauma model of dissociation, Dr. T and Truth Fairy discuss how the mind and body protect us each against overwhelming pain by sequestering traumatic memories. Truth names several books by people who have survived extremely traumatic situations to illustrate this. They also explore the role of the dorsal vagal complex in shutdown and numbing states, and how attachment wounds contribute to dissociation. Understanding these is key to safe and effective psychedelic therapy. Together, drawing on clinical research and personal insight, they highlight the protective and harmful aspects of dissociation, how it overlaps with conditions like PTSD, DID, and depression, and they examine how trauma can be carried in the mind and body. Part of their discussion involves how psychedelic medicines can offer healing by bringing suppressed experiences to the surface, alongside care and trauma-informed awareness and guidance. “And so, yeah, the idea is that in the process of dissociation as a response to trauma, it's protecting in the moment. But those memories and those experiences are still - if dissociation is happening in the moment of a traumatic experience, it might be protective - but then it might be sequestering and pushing some material into a different place within the psyche. And if that remains unresolved, you know, then it can wreak havoc and produce a lot of follow-on distress.” - Dr. T__Resources discussed in this episode:“Psychedelic iatrogenic structural dissociation: an exploratory hypothesis on dissociative risks in psychedelic use” by Steven Elfrink and Leigh Bergin, ‘Frontiers in Psychology', 3 March 2025“The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State” by Nadia Murad“Man's Search for Meaning” by Viktor E.

Most of us can agree: music is awesome. Regardless of which songs speak to you, music probably plays an important role in your life. The question is, what makes music so powerful? Why does a particular combination of sounds and rhythms grab us and affect us in the way that it does? And is it true that music can help heal patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, PTSD, chronic pain, and more? To help us understand what we're learning about the neuroscience of music and how it can heal and enrich our lives, we're speaking with Daniel Levitin. He's a musician and a producer as well as a neuroscientist and bestselling author. His newest book is "I Heard There was a Secret Chord: Music As Medicine." Learn More:"I Heard There Was a Secret Chord" playlistMenon, V., & Levitin, D. J. (2005).
