Ketogenic therapy for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression is gaining attention, but how can it be safely implemented into clinical practice?A newly published expert consensus provides practical recommendations to help clinicians thoughtfully apply ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) for serious mental illnesses.In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Matt Bernstein and Dr. Georgia Ede, both members of the expert committee, discuss how this Delphi consensus was developed, what it includes, and how it can be responsibly integrated into psychiatric practice.In this interview, they discuss:What a Delphi process is and why it was usedThe results of the Delphi process (33 consensus statements and 10 clinical recommendations)Who may be appropriate candidates for KMTAbsolute and relative contraindicationsRecommended laboratory screening and monitoringHow long a trial should last before assessing efficacyHow clinicians can personalize implementation safelyImportantly, the authors emphasize that ketogenic metabolic therapy is not a replacement for standard psychiatric treatment. Rather, it may be considered alongside first-line therapies, particularly for individuals who have not responded adequately, cannot tolerate medications, or are seeking additional options.Reflecting on the value of this work, Dr. Bernstein shares:“I would have loved to have read this six years ago when I was starting to think about implementing these types of practices. It would have given me confidence to charge forward… I probably would have been further along now than I am.”With randomized controlled trials ongoing and more research expected in the coming years, this consensus provides a thoughtful, experience-informed framework for clinicians who are seeing growing interest in metabolic approaches.If you are a clinician, we encourage you to read the full publication.If you are a patient or family member, consider sharing this interview and the paper with your care team to support an informed discussion about whether metabolic strategies may be appropriate in your individual case.As always, clinical decisions should be made in partnership with qualified healthcare professionals.

What if some of the grief you carry isn't entirely yours? In this episode we'll open what Francis Weller identified as the Fifth Gate of Grief: ancestral grief. We're talking about the unacknowledged, untended sorrows of those who came before us: lost languages, severed connections to land and ritual, collective traumas like war, displacement, and genocide. But we're also talking about the science; specifically, epigenetics and how it can help explain how those experiences literally get woven into our biology and passed down through generations, even when we don't know the stories. The good news? What gets passed down can also be healed. You don't have to carry rancid snacks in your backpack forever (you'll get that reference when you listen). And this gate, like all the others, ultimately opens into something more expansive — resilience, power, and the steady ground of equanimity. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

A study published in Nature Communications, published Feb 19, 2026, found that “pregnancy physically alters a woman's brain, with a second pregnancy bringing even more profound effects.” The researchers “performed brain scans on 110 women. Some were first-time mothers, others second-time moms, and some nulliparous women. Results showed that during a first pregnancy, the greatest changes occur in the structure and activity of the ‘default mode network' – the brain system responsible for self-reflection and mind wandering. Are these changes bad? Are they associated with long term hard? Are they adaptive? It's a complex question, with real answers. Listen in for details.1.

In this episode of The Behavioral View, Nissa Van Etten, Olivia Teal, Elizabeth Barajas, and Yagnesh Vadgama discuss the evolution of outcomes-based care within applied behavior analysis (ABA). Drawing from extensive experience in both clinical practice and payer systems, Vadgama outlines the differences between traditional fee-for-service models and outcomes-based care frameworks. The panel explores how standardized assessments, aggregate data analysis, and empirically supported dosing recommendations can create greater alignment between providers and payers while maintaining individualized clinical decision-making. The discussion addresses administrative burden, prior authorization processes, value-based payment arrangements, caregiver involvement, social determinants of health, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Emphasis is placed on transparency, data-driven decision making, and protecting the integrity of behavior analytic practice while demonstrating measurable outcomes at both the individual and population levels. This course provides practical insight into how outcomes-based care models may shape the future of ABA service delivery.

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

How can doctors, psychiatrists, and other health practitioners implement keto for serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression?In this short interview, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Georgia Ede to discuss a newly published Delphi consensus paper in Frontiers in Nutrition, authored by eight experienced clinicians and researchers to establish best practices for the use of ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) in serious mental illnesses.Using a structured expert consensus process, the group created 33 statements clarifying things like:What ketogenic metabolic therapy isWho may be appropriate candidates?Safety considerations and medical screeningMonitoring standards and clinical implementationHow KMT can be integrated alongside standard psychiatric careThese statements were then brought to a larger group of experienced clinicians to assess broader consensus, which resulted in all 33 statements reaching the consensus threshold.This paper is not a set of formal treatment guidelines. Instead, they represent an important first step in delivering practical, experience-informed guidance for clinicians who are seeing growing patient interest in metabolic approaches to serious mental illnessAs research continues to evolve, this consensus provides a thoughtful framework for psychiatrists, primary care clinicians, therapists, dietitians, and multidisciplinary teams who wish to incorporate ketogenic metabolic therapy into individualized treatment plans.If you are a clinician interested in learning more about metabolic approaches in psychiatry, we encourage you to explore the full publication.If you are a patient or family member, consider sharing this paper with your care team to start an informed discussion about whether metabolic strategies may be appropriate in your individual case.With the clinical evidence still accumulating and randomized controlled trials ongoing, we expect this clinical guidance to continue to evolve as more data and real word experience becomes available.

In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle explores the powerful connection between creativity and fertility, revealing the science behind why women often feel more inspired during their fertile window. Drawing from a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Psychology, she breaks down research showing that originality peaks during ovulation and explains how fertility hormones influence creativity, brain chemistry, and emotional openness. Michelle also asks a deeper question: could creativity itself support fertility? Blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and hormonal health, she explains how creative flow can reduce stress, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and support reproductive function. This episode offers a fresh, holistic perspective for anyone trying to conceive, recovering from burnout, or seeking to reconnect with their natural life force through creativity and flow. Key Takeaways: Creativity naturally peaks during ovulation, especially in originality and novelty Creative states calm the nervous system and reduce fertility-disrupting stress hormones From a TCM perspective, creativity and fertility are governed by the same principle: flow Engaging in creativity can help regulate hormones, emotions, and reproductive energy Fertility is not just biological, it is energetic, emotional, and expressive Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Psychedelics are having a cultural moment. Research is promising. Stories of healing are everywhere. But here's the truth: these experiences aren't magic cures. And they aren't right for every nervous system at every time.   In this episode, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace slow the conversation down. Instead of asking, "Do psychedelics heal trauma?" They explore a more grounded question: What becomes possible when psychedelic or peak somatic experiences are approached through the lens of nervous system safety, preparation, and integration?   If you've been curious about psychedelics, already had experiences, or feel unsure whether they're right for you, this episode offers nuance, research, and deep nervous system perspective. Because post-traumatic growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about becoming more available to the life that's already waiting for you.   Topic Covered Why psychedelics may reorganize meaning, not just reduce symptoms How trauma fragments narrative and how safety allows integration The science of psychological flexibility and why it predicts long-term outcomes What "somatic journeying" is and why it can feel disorienting The importance of preparation, titration, and facilitator trust Why intensity does not equal healing Psychedelics vs antidepressants in research on connectedness Default Mode Network (DMN), identity rigidity, and belief updating Why creativity often emerges when survival softens The risks of over-reliance and "chasing the medicine" Why discernment and self-trust matter more than hype   Chapters  00:00 – Psychedelics Aren't Magic Cures

Vegan essen – gesund trainieren – und trotzdem „Zahnprobleme“? In dieser Episode schauen wir evidenzbasiert auf Fluorid, vegane Ernährungsgewohnheiten und die besonderen Belastungen im Sport: Sports Drinks, Smoothies, Mundtrockenheit und häufige Kohlenhydratzufuhr. Du bekommst ein klares Modell, wie Karies und Erosion entstehen, welche Befunde Studien bei Veganer:innen und Athlet:innen zeigen und welche Präventionsmaßnahmen in der Praxis funktionieren.   Korrektur: Im Podcast spricht Dominik von einer Dentalfluorose, die er entwickelt habe durch Fluorid. Dies ist jedoch im Erwachsenenalter nicht mehr möglich. Wahrscheinlicher sind Verfärbungen der Zähne, durch im Tee enthaltene Tannine. Dennoch enthält Tee mitunter große Mengen Fluorid.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

n this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson breaks down new research on resistance training and fat loss. He reviews a recent study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology and connects it to over a decade of evidence on how strength training influences body composition.Luke explains why the goal of weight loss should be fat loss—not just a lower number on the scale—and how resistance training helps preserve or increase lean muscle while maximizing fat reduction. He also explores the critical role of abdominal fat in cardiometabolic risk and what the latest findings reveal about reducing central obesity.If you want to understand the science behind “high-quality weight loss” and why lifting weights is essential for long-term health and weight maintenance, this episode delivers the key takeaways.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

The episode explains how pole dancers can get stronger using progressive overload, defined as gradually increasing training stress so the body adapts during rest and the same demands become easier over time. It outlines adaptation timelines: neurological and cardiovascular changes can occur quickly (sometimes within a session for neuro drills), noticeable strength gains typically appear after about 3–6 weeks, connective tissue (tendons/ligaments) adapts around the 3-month mark, and bone density changes occur closer to 6 months. Rosy emphasizes easing back into training—especially after a break or postpartum—avoiding self-punishment, and prioritizing rest because adaptation happens during recovery. It describes ways to increase load for pole and bodyweight training: increase training frequency while keeping at least 1–2 rest days per week, increase repetitions, use time-based conditioning like a “pole treadmill” (repeated climbs/descents for time), increase resistance via weights/bands or by selecting harder bodyweight progressions, and use isometrics by holding longer or increasing tension. It notes that muscle damage is not necessarily required for positive adaptation and references Felipe Damas' work (primarily in hypertrophy research), while clarifying the focus is strength training rather than bodybuilding. The episode also explains that the body responds to chronic life stress similarly to training stress, which can hinder strength gains, and encourages stress reduction and enjoyable movement.Citations:SELYE H.

– Neutrina są naturalnym oknem do nowej fizyki – mówi w Radiu Naukowym dr hab. Sebastian Trojanowski, fizyk teoretyk związany z Narodowym Centrum Badań Jądrowych oraz Astrocent (CAMK PAN). To już brzmi dobrze, a kiedy dodamy do tego ciemną materię, robi się ekscytująco! Zdaniem gościa odcinka, to właśnie zmagania ze zrozumieniem natury neutrin i ciemnej materii sprawiają, że pojawia się potrzeba „wyjścia poza to, co już wiemy na temat cząstek mikroświata”. – Prawdopodobnie wyjaśnienie tych zagadek będzie się wiązało z wprowadzeniem nowych cząstek i nowych sił między nimi – dodaje fizyk.***Słuchasz nas regularnie? Wpapdnij na https://patronite.pl/radionaukoweNasze wydawnictwo: https://wydawnictworn.pl/ *** W odcinku krążymy właśnie wokół tych dwóch zagadnień. Zaczynamy od opowieści o dotychczasowych efektach eksperymentu FASER przy Wielkim Zderzaczu Hadronów w CERN. Dr hab. Trojanowski jest jednym z jego pomysłodawców, a o FASER rozmawialiśmy w RN już w 2022 roku (odcinek nr 104). – Były dwa cele eksperymentu. Jeden dotyczył poszukiwań nawet nie tyle ciemnej materii, co cząstek, które mogą pełnić rolę mediatora pomiędzy nami a ciemnym sektorem – opowiada fizyk. Te poszukiwania trwają, na razie wynik jest negatywny, czyli FASER już zdołał wykluczyć część scenariuszy. Drugi aspekt działania FASER-a związany był z neutrinami. Są widoki na to, że dzięki eksperymentowi uda się zaobserwować po raz pierwszy oddzielnie neutrina i antyneutrina taonowe. Byłoby to uzupełnienie wiedzy o swoistej „tablicy Mendelejewa” cząstek elementarnych.A ciemna materia? Fizyk uważa, że najbardziej obiecujące są obserwacje kosmologiczne. – To jest trop, którym należy iść, żeby spróbować lepiej zrozumieć naturę ciemnej materii – ocenia. Być może w ciągu dekady okaże się, że to, jak rozumiemy ewolucję Wszechświata nie będzie przystawało do obserwacji. – Wtedy powiemy: mamy dane, potrzebujemy Nielsa Bohra kosmologii, który powie, jak je odpowiednio zinterpretować – snuje wizję. W odcinku dowiecie się też, czym jest „ciemny foton” (o ile istnieje), czy anihilacja jest smutna (moim zdaniem bardzo), jak wygląda praca fizyka-teoretyka, co tak naprawdę doświadczalnicy „przynoszą na biurko”. Solidny, ale jednocześnie lekki odcinek. Gorąco polecam!   ***Dr hab. Sebastian Trojanowski to fizyk teoretyk, który w swojej pracy próbuje „dotknąć” niewidzialnych fundamentów rzeczywistości. Działa na styku fizyki cząstek elementarnych, kosmologii i astrofizyki, szukając odpowiedzi na pytania o naturę ciemnego sektora Wszechświata. Związany zawodowo z Narodowym Centrum Badań Jądrowych oraz centrum badawczym Astrocent (CAMK PAN). Jest jednym z czterech inicjatorów eksperymentu FASER przy Wielkim Zderzaczu Hadronów w CERN. To dzięki tej wizji po raz pierwszy w historii udało się zaobserwować neutrina w zderzaczu wysokoenergetycznym. Doświadczenie zdobywał w prestiżowych ośrodkach w USA (UC Irvine) i Wielkiej Brytanii (University of Sheffield). Laureat Nagrody Naukowej „Polityki” oraz międzynarodowego wyróżnienia Frontiers of Science Award (2025), obecnie kieruje grantem SONATA BIS.  

We're diving deep into Francis Weller's third gate of grief: the sorrows of the world. This gate reminds us that collective losses like wars, violence, injustice, and environmental destruction impact us whether we acknowledge them or not. We are interdependent beings, wired for connection, and when we try to shut down our caring to protect ourselves, we sacrifice our capacity for joy, flexibility, and resilience. The challenge is to trust our intuitive drive to care and connect, even when it feels uncomfortable. We'll offer some practical strategies to meet that challenge and to help you stay open to collective grief without being overwhelmed by it. CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses gun violence.

A mini-review published in Frontiers in Neurology suggests that acupuncture may assist ICU patients in recovering more quickly by relieving pain, lowering sedative use, shortening ventilator dependency, enhancing strength, and increasing days free from delirium Acupuncture may help calm inflammation, boost immunity, and improve blood flow in sepsis patients, offering supportive benefits alongside standard ICU treatment It's not just for managing one symptom: Acupuncture could act as a whole-body support tool in the ICU, easing pain, stress, and sleep issues while reducing drug side effects and helping the body recover Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a needle-free method using fingertip tapping on acupuncture points that offers a gentler alternative for patients wary of traditional acupuncture Other nondrug therapies such as massage, music therapy, and mindfulness contribute to ICU recovery by alleviating anxiety, decreasing pain, and enhancing sleep quality

Kriege, Krisen, Klimakatastrophen, soziale Spaltung – ein Blick aufs Handy reicht, und viele fühlen sich von den Nachrichten überfordert. Das Leid der Welt scheint plötzlich auf den eigenen Schultern zu liegen. Dieses Gefühl hat einen Namen: Weltschmerz. In dieser Folge von Betreutes Fühlen sprechen Leon und Atze darüber, warum uns das aktuelle Weltgeschehen emotional so stark belastet, was Dauerkrisen mit unserer psychischen Gesundheit machen und warum Abstumpfen keine Lösung ist. Es geht um Empathie, emotionale Überforderung und den Unterschied zwischen Mitfühlen und Wegschauen – aber auch darum, warum Empathie allein nicht reicht. Wozu ist dieser Schmerz da? Und wie können wir mit Weltschmerz umgehen, ohne uns ohnmächtig oder leer zu fühlen?

Un fármaco contra la leucemia (Tenipósido) revela una nueva aplicación al comprobarse que activa la defensa innata del sistema inmune (proteína STING) y podría utilizarse en el contexto de la inmunoterapia frente al cáncer. Adrián Velázquez, catedrático de Bioquímica e investigador del BIFI de la Universidad de Zaragoza, ha participado en este hallazgo que publica la revista científica Frontiers in Immunology y lo cuenta en Ágora. Por otro lado, Clara Malo (I3A y Facultad de Veterinaria Unizar) expone su investigación sobre preservación de tejido ovárico. Alrededor del 30% de las niñas que superan un cáncer infantil tienen después grandes dificultades para ser madres. Estos problemas de fertilidad vienen derivados de los agresivos tratamientos que reciben para curarse. Por ello, el Instituto de Investigación en Ingeniería de Aragón y ASPANOA llevan a cabo un proyecto para mejorar la preservación del tejido ovárico de las niñas con cáncer.

You've treated the pain. You've tracked the triggers. You've adjusted food, sleep, and stress and yet migraines keep finding a way in.What if the missing piece isn't in your head… but in your metabolism?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores one of the most overlooked drivers of migraine: the thyroid. Not as a single lab value, but as a system that sets the rhythm for your brain, your nervous system, and your tolerance to pain.The thyroid doesn't just influence weight or energy. It acts as a metabolic pacemaker, shaping blood flow, heat production, neurotransmitter balance, and stress resilience. When that rhythm slows or becomes unstable, the migraine brain becomes far more reactive — even to triggers that once felt manageable.Blending modern neuroscience with an Eastern medicine lens, this episode unpacks why migraines often show up alongside fatigue, coldness, brain fog, pressure headaches, and that persistent feeling of running on empty.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the thyroid functions as the metabolic pacemaker for the brain and how a slowed rhythm lowers your migraine thresholdHow reduced internal “fire” contributes to dampness, heaviness, and pressure in the headFive subtle yet powerful ways a struggling metabolism signals the nervous system to trigger migraineWhy thyroid-linked migraines often feel slower, heavier, and harder to shakeHow restoring rhythm, warmth, and flow can change how your migraine brain respondsThis episode isn't about diagnosing disease or blaming a single gland. It's about understanding the deeper patterns your body is communicating and responding before those whispers become pain.If your migraines come with fatigue, cold sensitivity, brain fog, or a sense that your system just can't keep up anymore, this conversation may finally bring clarity.

This episode describes what complex Post Traumatic Stress disorder (cPTSD) is, how it's diagnosed, and how it's different to similar disorders like PTSD and borderline personality disorder. This episode was inspired by the angry comments on Dr. Kibby's latest reel on spotting emotion dysregulation in borderline personality disorder. When someone has a history of childhood trauma and they struggle with intense emotions, self-esteem issues, and relationship problems- what disorder do they have? In this episode, Dr. Kibby delves into the criteria for complex PTSD, which is still not an official disorder in the DSM-V. Yet, so many people struggle with symptoms from long, painful histories of trauma that has shaped their entire lives and personalities.Dr. Kibby also discusses the nuanced differences between Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder, revealing how trauma shapes self-esteem, relationships, and emotional regulation in surprising ways. If you've ever wondered why these disorders often overlap—and how understanding their distinctions can transform healing—you'll want to hear this.Dr. Kibby shares her own experiences with online criticism around trauma representation, sparking a deeper conversation about stigma and bias in mental health. She dives into the hidden intricacies of CPTSD, explaining why it's often overlooked in the DSM-5 but recognized worldwide, and how prolonged trauma affects the brain's ability to process memories, dissociate, and regulate emotions.She also talks about how how trauma, whether overt or subtle, can lead to complex self-protection mechanisms that impact every aspect of life. Then she finishes with listing the best evidence-based treatments, from prolonged exposure to cognitive processing therapy and DBT, tailored for each disorder's unique challenges. She emphasizes the power of compassion and personalized treatment over stigma, advocating for a mental health field that treats all disorders with empathy and respect. Why diagnosis isn't about labels- it's a pathway to personalized healing and recovery.Resources:Sarr, R., Quinton, A., Spain, D., & Rumball, F. (2024).

Gluten-free diets were initially intended for children with medical conditions such as celiac disease, wheat allergy, and non-celiac gluten sensitivity A review published in Frontiers in Nutrition found that gluten-free diets, when not medically required, can cause nutrient gaps and raise health risks for children A recent study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology found that young patients exhibited a significant increase in urinary arsenic and other metal levels after only six months on a gluten-free diet When cooked properly, white rice can be a smarter choice than brown rice because it's easier to digest, contains less arsenic and heavy metals Instead of cutting out foods that are good for your gut, include healthy carbs, choose stable fats over seed oils, and learn to calm your food fears

Start of Arny Ferrando's episode recap is at 14:00 minutes. In today's Friday solocast, Vanessa Spina recaps her recent interview with Arny Ferrando, one of the world's leading experts on human muscle protein metabolism — and explains why fat loss problems are often muscle problems in disguise. The episode opens with two brand-new studies that challenge common fat-loss assumptions, including new findings on hydration and body fat loss, and surprising research linking resistance training with intelligence and cognitive performance. From there, Vanessa distills the most important insights from her conversation with Dr. Ferrando, including why simply eating less often backfires, how aging and hormonal changes impair muscle metabolism, and what most people misunderstand about protein needs, circulation, and metabolic slowdown.

Are modern habits around cleanliness, parenting, and social contact shaping your gut health more than you realise?  In this episode, Professor Tim Spector explains how gut microbes are shared between people - through relationships, daily contact, and the environments we live in, and why this matters for long-term health. You'll learn how human contact may be influencing your gut in ways most of us never consider. Tim explains why supporting gut microbiome is less about control and more about balance, and you'll learn simple ways to support a healthier gut through food, social connection and lifestyle habits. If your gut reflects the people you live with and the places you spend time, what small change could you make this week - in your home, your habits, or your social life - that might support your gut for the long term?

In this episode, host Jeremy M. Evans explains how antitrust law has moved from the margins of sports law to the center of power—reshaping athlete leverage, league governance, and the business of sports. Jeremy examines how recent legal developments, including NIL reform and athlete-driven litigation, are challenging long-standing assumptions about competitive balance and economic control in both professional and collegiate sports. The episode breaks down why antitrust law has increasingly filled gaps left by fragmented labor and governance systems, and how athletes are emerging as meaningful market participants rather than passive stakeholders. Looking ahead, Jeremy discusses what these legal shifts mean for the future of league structure, media rights, and athlete organization—and why antitrust principles will continue to shape the next era of sports.

Greg interviews Mario Butler of Dreamster.io, a platform that allows musicians to connect directly with their audience, and fans to own the music they buy, not just rent. Greg begins by asking about Mario's background and the core mission of Dreamster.io, prompting Mario to explain how the music industry has shifted from tangible ownership to a "rental" model through streaming. Mario responds by introducing Digital Music Assets (DMAs), which utilize blockchain to allow fans to truly own digital music again, much like they once owned vinyl or CDs. Next, Greg wonders whether this technology is actually beneficial for the average listener compared to the convenience of a cheap monthly subscription. Mario clarifies that DMAs function as financial assets; because they are built on a bonding curve, the price can increase like a stock, and the platform's smart contracts allow users to sell their music back for a profit. Furthermore, Mario explains that these assets are programmable, meaning an artist can embed real-world perks like merchandise discounts or backstage passes directly into the digital file. Greg then asks why Mario is specifically targeting the Thailand market. Mario notes that Thai artists and fans are exceptionally tech-savvy and passionate, making them early adopters of innovative platforms. He emphasizes that Dreamster removes the usual "crypto" hurdles by allowing users to sign up via email and pay with credit cards, hiding the complex backend technology to focus on the user experience. The interview finishes with a discussion of how the platform protects against AI-generated content and automates royalty splits, ensuring that human creators are fairly compensated for their work in real-time.  

In today's conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn't a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose. In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge. If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that's stronger than ever, this episode is for you. This podcast dives into: How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation. The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury. Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse. The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.

HEALTH NEWS   Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find   Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability Screen time may increase body fat in children Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Wild Blueberries May Benefit the Heart, Metabolism, and Microbiome University of Maine & Florida State University, January 28, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A newly published scientific review brings together a growing body of research on how wild blueberries may influence cardiometabolic health. This area of health includes measures such as blood vessel function, blood pressure, blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), and blood sugar (glucose). The review was developed following an expert symposium. Twelve specialists took part, representing fields that included nutrition, food science, dietetics, nutrition metabolism and physiology, cardiovascular and cognitive health, gut health and microbiology, and preclinical and clinical research models.  The paper evaluates findings from 12 human clinical trials conducted over 24 years across four countries that examined the cardiometabolic effects of wild blueberries. Across the clinical research examined, improvements in blood vessel function stand out as one of the most reliable findings. Studies included in the review suggest that wild blueberries may support endothelial function (or how well blood vessels relax and respond to stimuli). Some trials reported effects within hours of a single serving, while others observed benefits after consistent intake over weeks or months. In one six-week clinical study highlighted in the review, adults who consumed 25 grams of freeze-dried wild blueberry powder each day showed increases in beneficial Bifidobacterium species. The authors identify the gut microbiome as a likely contributor to the cardiometabolic effects linked to wild blueberries. The review also suggests wild blueberry intake may support certain aspects of cognitive performance. Improvements were observed in measures such as thinking speed and memory. Several of the reviewed studies reported clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar regulation, and lipid markers, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, after weeks of wild blueberry consumption.   Nitrate in drinking water linked to increased dementia risk while nitrate from vegetables is linked to a lower risk, researchers find   Edith Cowan University (Australia) &  Danish Cancer Research Institute, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Danish Cancer Research Institute (DCRI) investigated the association between the intake of nitrate and nitrite from a wide range of different sources, and the associated risk of dementia.  The research, which investigated the association between source-specific nitrate and nitrite intake and incident and early-onset dementia, followed more than 54,000 Danish adults for up to 27 years and found that the source of nitrate was of critical importance in a diet.  The researchers found that people who ate more nitrate from vegetables had a lower risk of developing dementia, while those who consumed more nitrate and nitrite from animal foods, processed meats, and drinking water, had a higher risk of dementia.  When we eat nitrate-rich vegetables, we are also eating vitamins and antioxidants which are thought to help nitrate form the beneficial compound, nitric oxide, while blocking it from forming N-nitrosamines which are carcinogenic and potentially damaging to the brain.  Unlike vegetables, animal-based foods don't contain these antioxidants. In addition, meat also contains compounds such as heme iron which may actually increase the formation of N-nitrosamines. This is why nitrate from different sources may have opposite effects on brain health.   This is the first time that nitrate from drinking water has been linked to higher risks of dementia. The study found that participants exposed to drinking-water nitrate at levels below the current regulatory limits, had a higher rate of dementia.   Water doesn't contain antioxidants that can block formation of N-nitrosamines. Without these protective compounds, nitrate in drinking water may form N-nitrosamines in the body.   Afternoon naps clear up the brain and improve learning ability University of Freiburg (Germany) & University of Geneva, January 28 2026 (Eurekalert) Even a short afternoon nap can help the brain recover and improve its ability to learn. In a study published  in the journal NeuroImage, researchers at the  University of Freiburg and the University of Geneva show that even a nap is enough to reorganize connections between nerve cells so that new information can be stored more effectively.  The new study shows that a short sleep period can relieve the brain and put it back into a state of readiness to learn – a process that could be particularly beneficial for situations with high work load. The study examined 20 healthy young adults who either took a nap or stayed awake on two afternoons. The afternoon nap lasted on average 45 minutes.  The results showed that after the nap, the overall strength of synaptic connections in the brain was reduced – a sign of the restorative effect of sleep. At the same time, the brain's ability to form new connections was significantly improved. The brain was therefore better prepared for learning new content than after an equally long period of wakefulness. Screen time may increase body fat in children Ningbo University (China), January 15 2026 (News-Medical) A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology reveals that higher screen time is associated with higher levels of body fat accumulation and less favorable obesity-related metabolic indicators in school-aged children, and that cardiorespiratory fitness can significantly influence this association. The study included a total of 1,286 third-grade students from six schools in Ningbo. Participants' cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using the 20-meter shuttle run test. Information on screen time, physical activity, and diet quality was obtained from self-reported questionnaires. The study analysis indicated that higher screen time is significantly associated with increased visceral fat accumulation, body fat mass index, and body fat percentage, and with lower cardiorespiratory fitness and slightly lower blood levels of HDL-C. The study found that participants with more than two hours of daily screen time exhibit significantly increased visceral fat, fat mass index, and fat percentage, and significantly reduced cardiorespiratory fitness compared to those with less than two hours of daily screen time. Simple dietary change may slow liver cancer in at-risk patients Rutgers University, January 29 2026 (Medical Xpress) People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple dietary change: eating less protein. A Rutgers-led study has found that low-protein diets slowed liver tumor growth and cancer death in mice, uncovering a mechanism by which a liver's impaired waste-handling machinery can inadvertently fuel cancer. When people consume protein, the nitrogen can be converted into ammonia, a substance that's toxic to the body and brain. A healthy liver typically processes this ammonia into harmless urea, which is excreted via urine. The clinical observation that the liver's ammonia-handling machinery is usually impaired in liver cancer patients is decades old. Zong's team utilized a technique to induce liver tumors in mice without crippling the ammonia-disposal system. The researchers then used gene-editing tools to disable ammonia-processing enzymes in some—but not all. The results were striking: Mice with disabled enzymes and higher ammonia levels developed heavier tumor burdens and experienced a much faster rate of mortality than those with functioning systems. The researchers then tested a straightforward intervention: reducing dietary protein. Mice fed low-protein food exhibited dramatically slower tumor growth and lived significantly longer than those that received food with standard levels of protein BREAK   Introducing the Clips For Today  Sharmine Narwani : The Slow Strangling of Syria and Lebanon - 4:55  Inventing a pandemic - by Maryanne Demasi, PhD - MD REPORTS - full - 2:49    Did Covid mRNA boosters train the immune system to stand down? - full (Maryanne Demasi)  -2:38   Bryce Nickels on X: "-@R_H_Ebright explains why dangerous gain-of-function research should be BANNED https://t.co/2TaLBzzkU0" / X - full (Richard E Bright explains why dangerous gain of function research should be banned)  - 3:17

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back.     What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway Time isn't speeding up — your brain is compressing it.
