What if intimacy itself—softness, surrender, safety—was once criminalized for Black bodies, and thus encoded as a threat within the nervous system? If love during slavery was punishable by separation, humiliation, or death, then how do we today, in the echo of those lashings, trust in vulnerability without flinching?
For the last few years, one of my favorite parts of Tangle has been hiring young writers and giving them an opportunity to work with us. Over the years we've had a number of “interns” (nobody really does intern work here) who have made major contributions to our newsletter, gone on to work for awesome publications, or left and returned years later to work for us.Last year, our managing editor Ari Weitzman decided to formalize this experience with a six-month fellowship program. We got dozens of applications, and ended up hiring Hunter Casperson — a sharp writer and recent journalism master's graduate from California. Hunter immediately earned a reputation for thoughtful edits, speaking her mind, and stepping up to do whatever was asked of her. This month, her six months at Tangle are coming to a close. In the past, it's been simply tradition that we've let Tangle interns write a capstone piece — this year, with the process formalized, we baked it into the initial schedule of working with Hunter. The prompt is simple: You can pick any topic you want to cover, and we'll work on a well researched, long-form piece with you that we'll publish as a Friday edition. Today, we are sharing Hunter's capstone piece.It is, in my estimation, perfectly Tangle. It covers a controversial topic. It's personal. It is deeply researched. It is thoughtfully written. And most importantly, it offers fair treatment of a complicated issue. I hope you enjoy it, and I want to thank Hunter for all her contributions to Tangle — I'm excited to see what she does next!

From the archives: 8-18-23Genetic genealogy is a field that combines traditional genealogy research with modern DNA testing techniques to trace familial relationships and ancestry through genetic information. It involves analyzing an individual's DNA to uncover their genetic heritage, connect with distant relatives, and map out family trees. This approach has gained significant popularity due to advancements in DNA sequencing technology, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer DNA testing kits.Here's how genetic genealogy works and how it's used by investigators:DNA Testing: Individuals interested in exploring their genetic heritage and family history can submit their DNA samples through services provided by companies like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritageDNA. These companies analyze specific segments of the submitted DNA to identify genetic markers that are common among different populations and individuals.Genetic Markers: Certain sections of the DNA, particularly those found in the Y chromosome (passed from father to son) and the mitochondrial DNA (passed from mother to all offspring), contain genetic markers that can be used to identify ancestral lineages. Autosomal DNA, which is inherited from both parents, is also examined to find matches with other individuals in the testing company's database.Matching and Comparison: Testing companies compare an individual's genetic markers with those of other users in their databases. If two individuals share a significant amount of genetic material, they are considered genetic matches. The more segments of DNA they share, the closer their relationship is likely to be.Building Family Trees: Genetic genealogy involves constructing family trees using a combination of traditional genealogical research and the information gained from DNA matches. By connecting with other users who share segments of DNA, individuals can extend their family trees and discover new branches of their lineage.Identifying Common Ancestors: As more people participate in DNA testing, the chances of finding common ancestors increase. Overlapping segments of shared DNA can help identify specific ancestors or ancestral groups that are shared among related individuals.Forensic and Investigative Applications: Genetic genealogy has also found applications in criminal investigations. Law enforcement agencies have used DNA databases to identify unknown perpetrators of crimes like murder and sexual assault. In cases where traditional investigative methods have been unsuccessful, investigators can upload DNA profiles from crime scenes to genealogy databases and identify potential relatives of the suspect based on shared genetic markers.Building Family Trees for Identification: Once potential relatives of the suspect are identified, investigators work to build family trees using genealogical records, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and obituaries. By tracing the shared ancestry of these relatives, law enforcement can narrow down the list of potential suspects to a smaller pool.Narrowing Down Suspects: Investigative genetic genealogy can help law enforcement focus on specific individuals who fit the profile of the unknown suspect based on age, location, and other relevant factors. This process has led to the successful identification and capture of suspects in several high-profile cases.In this episode we take a look at the battle of the experts that is being set up by both sides in the Bryan Kohberger trial and how it will be an uphill battle for Bryan Kohberger.(commercial at 8:44)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How DNA Dispute Could Impact Bryan Kohberger Case (newsweek.com)
David W. Johnson and Julie Murchinson revisit the collapse of 23andMe in light of the sale of the direct-to-consumer genetic testing company and the 25th anniversary of the Human Genome Project on this special episode of the 4sight Health Roundup podcast, moderated by David Burda.
Genetic testing has had some ups and downs over the past few years, with wide swaths of data sets setting a precedent for potential individualized healthcare. But, oftentimes, that data misrepresents African-descended individuals and doesn't paint the whole picture. Population geneticist Dr. Janina Jeff Ringo joins host Dr. Samantha Yammine to discuss what we can learn from genetic testing, and the gaps that sociologists are trying to fill in. Sam also explores a fascinating new study that claims to have nailed down the perfect cacio e pepe recipe and a potential solution to the growing strain on global rice yields.

The creation of a landmark gene editing drug used to treat a baby with a rare genetic mutation which could help transform personalized medicine. Blood tests showed baby KJ had sky-high levels of ammonia, a toxic substance the body usually expels. The root cause was his genes - or more particularly a specific gene mutation. The race was on to try and treat him before his condition took a firm hold. His doctors came up with a radical solution - for the first time ever, they designed and applied a gene-editing drug in record time, specifically for him. Have we seen breakthrough in preventing genetic diseases? With Fyodor Urnov, a professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Department at the University of California, Virginijus Šikšnys professor at the Life Science Center of Vilnius University, Waseem Qasim from the UCL Institute of Child Health in Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and Jennifer Doudna, Professor, University of California, Berkeley and founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute.

Paula Amato is a leading expert in female reproductive health and infertility, widely recognized for her contributions to advancing fertility treatment and research. In this episode, which follows last week's conversation on male fertility, Paula explores the biology of female fertility, including how hormonal changes regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation, what those patterns reveal about fertility potential, and why both partners should be evaluated early in infertility workups. She discusses the role of the fallopian tubes, the causes of miscarriage, the impact of age and lifestyle on fertility, and treatment options for conditions like PCOS—including the emerging use of GLP-1 agonists. The episode also covers the evolution of IVF, advances in pre-implantation genetic testing, egg freezing, and the promise and limitations of next-generation reproductive technologies. We discuss: The finite nature of a woman's egg reserve, how it changes over time, and the basic process of ovulation and fertilization [3:00]; How hormones influence egg selection, and how and why chromosomal errors lead to most miscarriages [5:30]; The full journey of conception—from hormonal cues triggering ovulation, to fertilization, embryo development, implantation, and early pregnancy risks [16:30]; How infertility is defined and diagnosed, and the broader trends contributing to rising infertility rates [25:15]; Fallopian tube damage: how STDs and scarring impact fertility and raise ectopic pregnancy risk [31:30]; Unexplained infertility: how doctors evaluate ovulation and cycles—and why more research on women's health is needed [41:00]; The defining symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), its hormonal characteristics, and its relationship with insulin resistance [44:00]; Managing PCOS without pregnancy: cycle regulation, androgen suppression, and insulin resistance treatment [46:00]; The treatment approach for women with PCOS who are trying to conceive: GLP-1 use, ovulation induction, and timing protocols [49:45]; Barriers to getting informed fertility care for PCOS: limited provider knowledge and access, insurance gaps, and next steps when ovulation treatments don't lead to pregnancy [55:45]; Fertility treatment for women with unexplained infertility, risk of multiple pregnancies with superovulation, and more [1:03:00]; Intrauterine insemination (IUI): process, success rates, and when in vitro fertilization (IVF) becomes the better option [1:07:00]; The history of in vitro fertilization (IVF), and how access and acceptance have evolved over time [1:16:45]; The step-by-step process of IVF [1:19:30]; The IVF lab process: egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, and freezing [1:26:30]; Genetic testing and embryo selection in IVF: aneuploidy screening, polygenic traits, and ethical concerns [1:41:15]; Embryo transfer in IVF: timing, uterine preparation, and implantation support [1:47:30]; Egg donation in IVF: indications, donor guidelines, and other considerations [1:50:45]; How to choose the right IVF clinic [1:54:45]; Innovations in fertility on the horizon, advice about freezing eggs, and more [2:02:00]; Optimizing fertility through lifestyle: diet, stress management, sleep, exercise, and supplementation [2:07:45]; Promising areas of fertility research [2:15:45]; and More.

Dr. Shannon Manning is a Michigan State University (MSU) Foundation Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics. The goal of Shannon's research is to understand how pathogens (bacteria or viruses) cause disease in people. How likely a person is to get sick may be due to the different types of pathogens they are exposed to, but also genetic variation within a specific type of pathogen. Not every bacteria of a particular species is exactly identical, and some are more effective at attaching to targets and infecting hosts. When she's not working in the lab, Shannon loves spending time with her family. On the weekends, Shannon can often be found at soccer games, swim meets, and other activities cheering on her four kids. Gardening is also one of her favorite hobbies, and she has been cultivating a wonderful assortment of flowers. She earned her B.S. in biology from the University of Michigan, her M.P.H. in Hospital and Molecular Epidemiology, and her Ph.D. in Molecular Epidemiology from the University of Michigan. Afterwards, Shannon was awarded an Emerging Infectious Disease Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Shannon is with us today to tell us all about her journey through life and science.

In today's episode, I'm diving into the fascinating world of genetic testing for fertility, unpacking the differences between traditional genetic carrier screening and the innovative Grow Baby Genetic Test. While carrier screening is a powerful way to discover if you or your partner carry hidden genetic risks for serious inherited conditions, what if you could go even further? That's where the Grow Baby Genetic Test comes in. Unlike standard carrier screening, Grow Baby zeroes in on your own genetic blueprint, maternal health and pregnancy optimization by analyzing key genes that influence your fertility, hormone balance, nutrient needs, and pregnancy health. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or in the thick of it and experiencing recurrent loss or preparing for fertility treatment, this episode will show you why this affordable genetic test is more than just a precaution, it's your roadmap to confident, empowered pregnancy planning.

A Montreal area-based farmer and agrotourism operator is taking steps to help maintain rare livestock genetics, particularly the Lacombe breed of pig. Established in 1982, Quinn Farm is a 200-acre agricultural and agrotourism operation that produces a variety of horticultural crops, more than 18 varieties of apples, Christmas and balsam trees, raises chickens, pigs and sheep, including many rare breeds, and houses a large farm store that features the farm's own produce, and a variety of local products.Farm cofounder Elwood Quinn says the public's awareness of the importance of maintaining genetic diversity, even within the one percent of those directly involved in food production, is minimal.The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) is getting the word out about its Harvest Sample Program.The program encourages producers to send in a grain sample to the Commission for grading, then once the sample returns to the producer with a grade, they can use it for marketing purposes. Getting involved comes at no cost. Kerri Pleskach is the Program Manager of Analytical Services. She says farmers wanting to participate can reach out to them by phone, email, or in person at their booth at one of the many farm shows throughout the year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He shares fascinating insights into how sperm work together to navigate the female reproductive tract, how environmental factors like heat, stress, and toxins impact sperm quality, and what men can do to improve their reproductive health. Paul also dispels common myths about testosterone replacement therapy and its effects on fertility, providing strategies for preserving fertility while on TRT. The episode also highlights cutting-edge advances in reproductive medicine, from genetic testing and sperm sorting to emerging treatments for infertility. We discuss: The incredibly complex and hostile journey sperm must take to fertilize an egg [3:00]; How sperm are made: meiosis, genetic variation, and the continuous renewal influenced by environmental factors [9:00]; The built-in filter that weeds out genetically abnormal sperm [14:45]; How sperm are finalized in form and function: tail formation, energy storage, and chemical sensing abilities [18:30]; How to optimize conception through the timing of sex, ejaculation frequency, and understanding the sperm lifecycle [26:30]; Male infertility and Paul's diagnostic approach: detailed history, a physical exam, and identifying red flags [33:30]; Viral infections that can affect the testes and potentially lead to sterility [40:30]; Semen analysis: morphology, motility, and hormonal clues to male fertility [45:45]; Effects of medication, microplastics, stress, and exercise on fertility [57:15]; Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and male fertility [1:06:00]; Restoring fertility after prolonged use of exogenous testosterone [1:25:00]; Effects of heat and cold exposure on fertility and sperm quality [1:36:00]; How different levels of exercise—especially cycling—affect male fertility [1:41:45]; How alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine affect male fertility [1:46:00]; Why type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for male infertility [1:50:00]; How varicoceles—a common cause of male infertility—are diagnosed and treated [1:51:15]; Genetic factors that affect fertility [1:54:00]; The impact of lifestyle and environmental exposures on fertility [1:56:30]; The evidence (or lack thereof) behind stem cell and PRP therapies for male infertility, and how lifestyle and non-invasive interventions often lead to successful conception [2:00:30]; Considerations for sperm banking, and how paternal age impacts fertility planning and offspring health [2:05:00]; Semen quality as a biomarker: linking male fertility, longevity, and preventative health through Medicine 3.0 and epigenetics [2:14:45]; and More.

If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone. This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn't produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice. Her case wasn't unusual. What made the difference was data. Through our 1:1 program, Jenny completed a full panel of functional assessments, including: Hormone & adrenal testing (DUTCH test) Comprehensive gut analysis Nutrient and inflammatory markers Genetic testing to understand her body's metabolic and detox pathways The findings confirmed several core issues: Severely diminished cortisol output Estrogen dominance with low progesterone production Leaky gut and poor gut microbiota diversity Methylation and detoxification gene variants contributing to poor recovery and persistent inflammation Once we had this information, we developed a structured plan with targeted interventions to support endocrine function, rebuild gut integrity, and address her specific genetic vulnerabilities. Within weeks, she began to notice improvements: more stable energy, clearer cognition, better sleep, and less bloating. While she's still progressing through the program, the results so far validate a simple principle: symptoms require investigation—not assumption. If you've been told “everything looks normal” but still don't feel well, you may benefit from the same thorough, data-driven approach.

In this illuminating episode we speak with Dr. Filippa Juul. An epidemiologist and leading researcher on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on human health. Together, we unpack what ultra-processed really means, why it's not just about calories or macros, and how these foods are stealthily contributing to the global rise in obesity, chronic illness, and food addiction. Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutritional epidemiologist and Faculty Fellow at the Department of Public Health Policy and Management at the New York University School of Global Public Health (NYU GPH). She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from NYU GPH in 2020, following a MSc in Public Health Nutrition from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and a BA in Nutrition and Dietetics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Dr. Juul's research focuses on improving cardiometabolic health outcomes at the population level, with a particular interest in the role of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in diet quality, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She utilizes large U.S. population studies to examine these associations and is also exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of UPFs on cardiometabolic health. Dr. Juul explains the NOVA classification system, dives into recent groundbreaking studies, and offers insights into why UPFs are so difficult to resist—and what we can do about it, both individually and at the policy level.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, we'll explore the role genetics play in PCOS. While PCOS does have a genetic component, it doesn't follow the straightforward hereditary patterns seen with eye color or height. Instead, it involves gene variants that affect how the body handles insulin, hormones, inflammation, and reproductive function. Not everyone with a genetic predisposition will develop symptoms, and how those genes are expressed can vary widely, even within the same family. These variables are what we will discuss in this episode. Why PCOS Symptoms Can Look Different in Every FamilyMany women wonder why they have PCOS when other family members don't. This episode explains how previous generations may have had undiagnosed PCOS or related symptoms like irregular periods, fertility issues, or type 2 diabetes that were never linked to PCOS. You'll hear how increased awareness and testing today are revealing more about how PCOS can run in families, even if it didn't look like classic PCOS symptoms in the past.How Lifestyle Plays a Role in PCOS DevelopmentA key takeaway from this episode is how lifestyle factors influence whether PCOS symptoms appear, how severe they become, and more importantly can they be reversed? Even with a genetic predisposition, your environment, such as diet, exercise habits, stress, and overall health, can either trigger or help suppress those genes. You'll learn how past generations may have unknowingly protected themselves with simpler diets and more physical activity.The genetic involvement in PCOS is what is termed epigenetics, meaning they're highly responsive to lifestyle changes. You'll discover how you can "turn down" the expression of these genes and reverse symptoms such as irregular cycles, inflammation, cravings, fatigue, and more by addressing your root causes and making consistent, targeted changes.Final Thoughts on Genetics, PCOS, and Taking ControlThis episode offers hope and encouragement for anyone feeling stuck with their PCOS. Genetics may set the stage, but they don't have to determine the ending. With a deeper understanding of where PCOS comes from and how to support your body, you can move forward with freedom from PCOS. You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!

In this episode, I sat down with Len Arcuri—founder of All In Parent and host of Autism Parenting Secrets Podcast. Check him out at: www.elevatehowyounavigate.comLen opened up about his personal journey helping his son with autism, and how it led him to dig deep into root-cause approaches that go way beyond just surface-level solutions.We talk about the stuff most people aren't talking about—like how environmental factors (think mold, metals, and chronic inflammation) can be overlooked root causes that make symptoms worse. Len breaks down how trauma and stress play a role too—not just for kids, but for parents as well.One thing I loved: Len uses a “tree” framework to explain his process. From mindset and beliefs (the roots), to knowledge, actions, and goals (the branches), it's all about growing strong, resilient families from the inside out.If you're a parent feeling overwhelmed, especially if your child has complex health needs, this episode is for you. It's about shifting out of survival mode, rethinking what's really going on, and stepping into empowered decision-making.We wrap up with some practical ways you can connect with Len and get support that's tailored—not templated.00:59 Guest Introduction: Len Arcuri01:32 Discussing Autism and Root Causes02:45 Len's Approach to Parenting and Coaching03:52 Understanding Root Causes and Parental Impact06:01 Practical Tips for Parents07:07 Addressing Behavioral Challenges11:26 The Role of Functional Medicine27:16 Framework for Parental Transformation29:57 Mindset and Beliefs: The Foundation31:23 The Environment: Creating a Supportive Space31:50 Knowledge and Actions: Finding the Sweet Spot32:31 Vision and Goals: The Fruit of the Tree33:05 The Power of Beliefs: Shifting Perspectives42:33 Decision Making: Balancing Short and Long Term49:50 Coaching and Support: Helping Parents NavigateIG: @MoldFindersNot sure the best way to get started?Follow these simple steps to hit the ground running…Step 1: Subscribe To Our Podcast!Step 2: Want a Test More Advanced Than ERMI? www.TheDustTest.comStep 3: Already Have An ERMI?

The FIT Collective Genetic Insights Series – Episode 1Understanding Genetics, Stress, & Weight with Dr. Ali NovitskyDr. Ali Novitsky, board-certified in obesity medicine, kicks off a new series on how genetics influence health—especially stress responses and weight regulation. She opens with a personal story: during college, despite eating well and exercising, she gained 20 pounds in three months. Genetic testing later revealed a variant in her cortisol receptor gene, causing her body to release excess cortisol under stress—leading to high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and ultimately, weight gain.Cortisol plays a central role in stress response and metabolism. While helpful in short bursts, chronic elevation from ongoing stress can disrupt insulin function, making weight loss more difficult for those with specific genetic variants. For Dr. Novitsky, managing stress—not restricting calories or increasing workouts—was the key to reversing her weight gain.About 30% of people carry this cortisol receptor variant. In her 2022 genetics cohort, 80% tested positive. This highlights the power of personalized health strategies rooted in understanding one's unique genetic makeup.Dr. Novitsky uses Genomind's Mental Health Map, a genetic test offering insight into stress, mood, and focus. One critical gene it reports on is COMT, which affects dopamine breakdown. Individuals with the MetMet variant retain more dopamine—great for focus, but often sensitive to stress. Those with ValVal clear dopamine quickly, leading to impulsivity and a higher likelihood of ADHD.Another important factor is BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a gene linked to memory, cognition, and mood. Those with a BDNF variant often need regular exercise to optimize brain health and emotional balance.The takeaway? Health isn't one-size-fits-all. For some, gentle exercise, high-quality sleep, and stress reduction may be far more effective than intense workouts or calorie restriction. Dr. Novitsky's approach integrates genetic awareness into actionable wellness strategies.She also introduces her four-week genetics program, which includes one-time testing, personalized supplement recommendations, and coaching based on individual results. Participants receive a lifelong health blueprint.Future episodes will explore the genetics of eating behaviors, including cravings and satiety. Listeners are encouraged to tune in and learn how DNA influences decisions, habits, and long-term health.Timestamps00:00:00 - Introduction and Personal Story00:01:00 - Understanding Cortisol and Stress00:04:00 - Genetic Testing Insights00:05:30 - Cortisol and Weight Management00:08:00 - COMT Variants and Dopamine00:10:00 - Dopamine Receptor Genes00:11:00 - Strategies for Managing Genetics00:12:00 - Genetics Program Announcement00:13:00 - Custom Recommendations Based on Genetics00:15:00 - The Role of Serotonin and Oxytocin00:16:00 - Genetic Influences on Eating Behaviors00:18:00 - Stress Response and Emotional Eating00:20:00 - The Importance of Awareness00:22:00 - BDNF and Exercise00:23:00 - Micro-Dosed Lithium and Mood00:24:00 - Genetic Predispositions to Worry00:25:00 - Empowerment Through Genetic Awareness00:26:00 - Preview of Next Episode on Eating Genetics00:27:00 - Enrollment for Genetics Program00:28:00 - Closing RemarksWork with Dr. Ali• Beginner Strength Training Program – 12 months for only $199!
