Today we are featuring two articles that relate to moving genetics into mainstream healthcare. In our first segment, we discuss polygenic risk scores and the transition from research to clinical use. Our second segment focuses on hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and the triaging of clinical referrals. Segment 1: Readiness and leadership for the implementation of polygenic risk scores: Genetic healthcare providers' perspectives in the hereditary cancer context Dr Rebecca Purvis is a post-doctoral researcher, genetic counsellor, and university lecturer and coordinator at The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. Dr Purvis focuses on health services delivery, using implementation science to design and evaluate interventions in clinical genomics, risk assessment, and cancer prevention. In this segment we discuss: - Why leadership and organizational readiness are critical to successful clinical implementation of polygenic risk scores (PRS). - How genetic counselors' communication skills position them as key leaders as PRS moves from research into practice. - Readiness factors healthcare systems should assess, including culture, resources, and implementation infrastructure. - Equity, standardization, and implementation science as essential tools for responsible and sustainable PRS adoption. Segment 2: A qualitative investigation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome genetics triage Kaycee Carbone is a genetic counselor at Boston Children's Hospital in the Division of Genetics and Genomics as well as the Vascular Anomalies Center. Her clinical interests include connective tissue disorders, overgrowth conditions, and somatic and germline vascular anomaly conditions. She completed my M.S. in Genetic Counseling at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in 2023. The work she discusses here, "A qualitative investigation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome genetics triage," was completed as part of a requirement for this graduate program. In this segment we discuss: - Why genetics clinics vary widely in how they triage referrals for hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). - How rising awareness of hEDS has increased referral volume without clear guidelines for diagnosis and care. - The ethical and emotional challenges genetic counselors face when declining hEDS referrals. - The need for national guidelines and clearer care pathways to improve access and coordination for EDS patients.

Send us a textHow seasonal changes in light and dietary unsaturated fats affect circadian rhythms in mammals.Topics Discussed:Evolutionary context of circadian rhythms: All organisms have adapted to Earth's 24-hour day for survival, with internal clocks slightly offset and adjusted by environmental cues.Molecular clock mechanism: Involves a feedback loop where proteins turn on/off genes, lasting ~24 hours, regulated by phosphorylation and degradation for timing precision.Genetic variations in sleep: Families with mutations in clock genes like PER2 cause extreme morning lark behavior, altering protein stability and period length by hours.Light entrainment: Morning light shortens human clocks (average 24.2 hours) to match 24-hour days; seasonal day length changes require gradual adjustments.Food & metabolic links: Seasonal food scarcity/abundance affects clock via glucose and fatty acids competing for protein modifications, as shown in diabetic mouse models.Role of unsaturated fats: Paper finds MUFA/PUFA ratios in diet alter phosphorylation of clock proteins, speeding or slowing adaptation to winter/summer light cycles in mice.Modern environmental impacts: Artificial light extends “daytime” signals, while constant food access erases seasonal patterns, contributing to obesity and diabetes risks.Jet lag & adaptations: Sudden time shifts mimic seasonal experiments; high-sugar/fat intake may phenocopy genetic effects to aid adjustment, though not recommended for health.Practical Takeaways:Expose yourself to morning natural light to help synchronize your internal clock and improve daily energy.Consume main meals during daylight hours and avoid late-night eating to align with natural metabolic rhythms.Limit evening screen time to reduce artificial blue light disrupting sleep onset.Consider varying diet seasonally, favoring diverse, whole foods to mimic natural availability patterns for better health.About the guest: Louis Ptacek, MD is a neurologist and professor at the University of California, San Francisco. He researches inherited neurological diseases and sleep traits, including genetic variations causing extreme early rising.Related Episode:M&M 237: Circadian Biology: Genetics, Behavior, Metabolism, Light, Oxygen & Melatonin | Joseph Takahashi*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

As we know there is an elevated interest in wild turkey science within the turkey hunting community, we are working to bring you numerous updates and research summaries from the 13th National Wild Turkey Symposium in Kansas City, Missouri. This episode includes conversations with authors or presenters from papers included in the "Wild Turkey Genetics" session: "Role of kinship in sociality of female eastern wild turkeys" — Chamberlain et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1630) "Genetic structuring and within-flock relatedness of eastern wild turkeys" — Watkins et al. (Presented by Chamberlain) (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1622) Additional guests include the NWTF's Ricky Lackey. While we were not able to sit down and have further conversations about the following paper that also was included in the session about wild turkey genetics, please check out the following research paper titled "Investigating the role of management decisions in subspecies hybridization across the wild turkey's range" — Beckman et al. (https://wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wsb.1625) To view the full symposium agenda, visit www.wildturkeysymposium.org.
Episode 336 In an unlikely turn of events, orcas and dolphins have been observed teaming up - to hunt and kill massive chinook salmon in the pacific. Given that orcas sometimes prey on dolphins, what's going on? Despite the promising signs of cooperation between these two species, there may be something less heartwarming at play. We dig into the findings and discuss other surprising ways animals cooperate with each other. From schizophrenia to bipolar disease, autism to OCD, many mental conditions are classified into different categories. But in the largest study of its kind, it's been discovered that 14 different disorders fall into just five genetic groups. The finding could explain why people are often diagnosed with multiple psychiatric conditions at once - and bring comfort to those who are. Could it also help us find better treatments? Exploding stars might be to thank for our very existence. It's thought that supernovae may spew out the heavy elements required for the creation of planets and the emergence of life. A new model shows this is possible - and may help us figure out where to look next for alien life. Could this open up a new field of cosmic ecology? Plus, news of a strange new kind of star from the James Webb Telescope. Black hole stars may explain a running mystery about odd galaxies spotted by the telescope, called little red dots.

IGG testing, also known as Immunoglobulin G testing, is a method used in forensic science to identify individuals through the analysis of specific proteins found in blood. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. Each person's IgG profile is unique, similar to a genetic fingerprint, making it useful for identification purposes.In crime-solving, IGG testing involves collecting blood samples from crime scenes and comparing them to known samples, such as those taken from suspects or victims. The presence or absence of specific IgG antibodies in the samples can help forensic investigators establish links between individuals and crime scenes.Police use IGG testing to:Establish connections between suspects and crime scenes: By comparing the IgG profiles of blood samples found at a crime scene with those of suspects or victims, investigators can determine whether a particular individual was present at the scene.Exclude innocent suspects: If the IgG profile of a suspect does not match that of the blood found at the crime scene, it can help exclude them from the investigation.Identify unknown individuals: In cases where the identity of a suspect or victim is unknown, IGG testing can be used to narrow down potential matches based on blood samples collected from the scene.However, like any forensic technique, IGG testing also raises privacy concerns. Some of these concerns include:Informed consent: Collecting blood samples for IGG testing without the individual's consent may raise ethical questions about privacy and bodily autonomy.Genetic information: IgG profiles can reveal information about an individual's immune system, which is a form of genetic information. There are concerns about how this sensitive data is collected, stored, and used, especially in terms of potential discrimination or misuse.False positives and misinterpretation: While IGG testing can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations, there is always a risk of false positives or misinterpretation of results. This could lead to wrongful accusations or convictions if not carefully considered.Database security: As with any forensic database, there are concerns about the security of the information stored within it. Unauthorized access or breaches could compromise individuals' privacy and potentially lead to misuse of their data.Ever since the arrest of Bryan Kohberger a conviction has rested upon the shoulders of the DNA that was collected at the scene of the brutal quadruple homicide. However, there have been challenges to the process used to collect that DNA and some have even questioned the constitutionality of the process itself. In this episode we take a look at that argument and hear from several legal scholars about the process that was used to collect the DNA and how that evidence will or will not be used moving forward.(commercial at 9:40)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Moscow murder suspect could mount constitutional challenge | Idaho StatesmanBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Live at the Zenos Health Summit, I've presented on stage why 22 years of mortality research and 371 million data points prove that every disease pathway has its roots in the absence of oxygen and the specific raw materials your body needs to function. I've also exposed fallacies around genetically-inherited diseases, why lowering homocysteine is critical for cardiovascular health, and walked through Dana White's transformation from brittle hypertensive on three blood pressure medications to canceling his heart ablation procedure entirely. The big data doesn't lie, and neither does human physiology when you finally give what it needs. What would you do differently if you knew exactly what was shortening your life?

Labor of Love: A Podcast for BIPOC Adoptees Navigating Parenthood
This episode with Dr. David McCarty-Caplan touches on so many profound and heartfelt areas, carried by the radical vulnerability, honesty, and compassion he brings to the conversation. David generously shares about his reunion with his Colombian birth family-- first on his own, and later with his children and partner. We explore how his kids embraced reunion and modeled openness, curiosity and love with his family, and how their presence and perspective helped guide and teach him throughout the process. David also reflects on his identity as a Jewish Colombian adoptee and his powerful work community building with and for Jewish adoptees of color. Dr. David McCarty-Caplan BioDr. David McCarty-Caplan (PhD) is a researcher, educator, writer, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born in Bogotá, Colombia and adopted into a white Jewish family in the United States, David's life has been shaped by questions of race, family, and home. These experiences continue to inform his passion for helping adoptees and their families navigate the complex layers of identity, racism, and connection that often accompany adoption. Drawing on his background as a social work researcher and educator, David brings both personal insight and professional rigor to his work with organizations, communities, and families. He is especially interested in how people and institutions can create spaces where all feel seen and valued. David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their two children, ages 12 and 10. As a husband, father, and adoptee, he is continually exploring what it means to nurture belonging — in his family, in his work, and in the broader world.https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/Co-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Frederico Soler FernándezArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast
In this solo livestream episode, Jason Cavness walks small business owners through the HR laws you must follow when you have 49 or fewer employees. Jason draws from more than 30 years of HR experience, 25 years as a retired U.S. Army officer, and over a decade working with startups to explain complicated HR rules in a simple, practical way. Jason covers what federal government actually requires, why most HR mistakes come from confusion rather than bad intent, and how ignoring even one rule can lead to fines, audits, lawsuits, and massive headaches for small business owners. Using real examples, stories from his career, and questions from livestream viewers, Jason breaks down what every employer needs to know: overtime rules, payroll tax obligations, discrimination laws, onboarding requirements, union rules, ADA accommodations, pregnancy protections, military employment rights, OSHA issues, misclassification risks, and more. If you're a founder, small business owner, or early-stage startup leader, this episode gives you a straightforward roadmap for staying compliant and protecting your business before something goes wrong. Topics Discussed • Why HR feels complicated and why it really isn't • The real reason most small businesses get fined • Drug-Free Workplace Act and who it does and does not apply to • Audio monitoring vs video monitoring rules • Polygraph testing and the extremely rare cases where it's allowed • Military employment rights and what employers must provide • Workplace safety, chemical safety sheets, and OSHA basics • Employee rights to discuss wages, schedules, and working conditions • Equal Pay Act misunderstandings and why negotiation habits matter • Minimum wage, overtime, exempt vs non-exempt rules • Why you must pay overtime even when you tell someone not to work it • I-9 verification, E-Verify, and immigration compliance • Payroll tax responsibilities • ADA and reasonable accommodation requirements • Pregnancy discrimination and common employer mistakes • Genetic information discrimination and health insurance issues • Title VII Civil Rights Act protections • LGBTQ workplace protections • Age discrimination rules and why age 40 is the legal threshold • COBRA continuation for companies offering health benefits • Worker misclassification and how calling someone a contractor doesn't make them one • Why unions form and how employers accidentally trigger unionization • What CavnessHR is building to automate HR and prevent these problems Support CavnessHR CavnessHR is building an AI-native HR system for small businesses with 49 or fewer employees automated compliance plus access to a dedicated HR Business Partner.

This week we are talking about Pancreatic cancer. This is a type of cancer that begins as a growth of cells in the pancreas. The pancreas lies behind the lower part of the stomach. It makes enzymes that help digest food and hormones that help manage blood sugar. The most common type of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This type begins in the cells that line the ducts that carry digestive enzymes out of the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer rarely is found at its early stages when the chance of curing it is greatest. This is because it often doesn't cause symptoms until after it has spread to other organs. Your health care team considers the extent of your pancreatic cancer when creating your treatment plan. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a mix of these. Pancreatic cancer often doesn't cause symptoms until the disease is advanced. When they happen, signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer may include: Belly pain that spreads to the sides or back. Loss of appetite. Weight loss. Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, called jaundice. Light-colored or floating stools. Dark-colored urine. Itching. New diagnosis of diabetes or diabetes that's getting harder to control. Pain and swelling in an arm or leg, which might be caused by a blood clot. Tiredness or weakness. It's not clear what causes pancreatic cancer. Doctors have found some factors that might raise the risk of this type of cancer. These include smoking and having a family history of pancreatic cancer. Understanding the pancreas The pancreas is about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long and looks something like a pear lying on its side. It releases hormones, including insulin. These hormones help the body process the sugar in the foods you eat. The pancreas also makes digestive juices to help the body digest food and take in nutrients. How pancreatic cancer forms Pancreatic cancer happens when cells in the pancreas develop changes in their DNA. A cell's DNA holds the instructions that tell a cell what to do. In healthy cells, the instructions tell the cells to grow and multiply at a set rate. The cells die at a set time. In cancer cells, the changes give different instructions. The changes tell the cancer cells to make many more cells quickly. Cancer cells can keep living when healthy cells would die. This causes there to be too many cells. The cancer cells might form a mass called a tumor. The tumor can grow to invade and destroy healthy body tissue. In time, cancer cells can break away and spread to other parts of the body. Most pancreatic cancer begins in the cells that line the ducts of the pancreas. This type of cancer is called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or pancreatic exocrine cancer. Less often, cancer can form in the hormone-producing cells or the neuroendocrine cells of the pancreas. These types of cancer are called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or pancreatic endocrine cancer. Risk factors Factors that might raise the risk of pancreatic cancer include: Smoking. Type 2 diabetes. Chronic inflammation of the pancreas, called pancreatitis. Family history of DNA changes that can increase cancer risk. These include changes in the BRCA2 gene, Lynch syndrome and familial atypical multiple mole melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome. Family history of pancreatic cancer. Obesity. Older age. Most people with pancreatic cancer are over 65. Drinking a lot of alcohol. As pancreatic cancer progresses, it can cause complications such as: Weight loss. People with pancreatic cancer might lose weight as the cancer uses more of the body's energy. Nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatments or a cancer pressing on the stomach might make it hard to eat. Sometimes the body has trouble getting nutrients from food because the pancreas isn't making enough digestive juices. Jaundice. Pancreatic cancer that blocks the liver's bile duct can cause jaundice. Signs include yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Jaundice can cause dark-colored urine and pale-colored stools. Jaundice often occurs without belly pain. If the bile duct is blocked, a plastic or metal tube called a stent can be put inside it. The stent helps hold the bile duct open. This is done using a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, also called ERCP. During ERCP, a health care professional puts a long tube with a tiny camera, called an endoscope, down the throat. The tube goes through the stomach and into the upper part of the small intestine. The health professional puts a dye into the pancreatic ducts and bile ducts through a small tube that fits through the endoscope. The dye helps the ducts show up on imaging tests. The health professional uses those images to place a stent at the right spot in the duct to help hold it open. Pain. A growing tumor may press on nerves in your abdomen, causing pain that can become severe. Pain medications can help you feel more comfortable. Treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy, might help slow tumor growth and provide some pain relief. When medicines aren't helping, a health care professional might suggest a celiac plexus block. This procedure uses a needle to put alcohol into the nerves that control pain in the belly. The alcohol stops the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain. Bowel blockage. Pancreatic cancer can grow into or press on the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum. This can block the flow of digested food from the stomach into the intestines. A health care professional might suggest putting a tube called a stent in the small intestine to hold it open. Sometimes, it might help to have surgery to place a feeding tube. Or surgery can attach the stomach to a lower part of the intestines where the cancer isn't causing a blockage. Prevention Screening for people with a high risk of pancreatic cancer Screening uses tests to look for signs of pancreatic cancer in people who don't have symptoms. It might be an option if you have a very high risk of pancreatic cancer. Your risk might be high if you have a strong family history of pancreatic cancer or if you have an inherited DNA change that increases the risk of cancer. Pancreatic cancer screening might involve imaging tests, such as MRI and ultrasound. These tests are generally repeated every year. The goal of screening is to find pancreatic cancer when it's small and most likely to be cured. Research is ongoing, so it's not yet clear whether screening can lower the risk of dying of pancreatic cancer. There are risks to screening. This includes the chance of finding something that requires surgery but later turns out to not be cancer. Talk about the benefits and risks of pancreatic cancer screening with your health care team. Together you can decide whether screening is right for you. Genetic testing for cancer risk If you have a family history of pancreatic cancer, discuss it with a health care professional. The health professional can review your family history and help you understand whether genetic testing might be right for you. Genetic testing can find DNA changes that run in families and increase the risk of cancer. If you're interested in genetic testing, you might be referred to a genetic counselor or other health care professional trained in genetics. Ways to lower risk You might reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer if you: Stop smoking. If you smoke, talk to a member of your health care team about ways to help you stop. These might include support groups, medicines and nicotine replacement therapy. Maintain a healthy weight. If you are at a healthy weight, work to maintain it. If you need to lose weight, aim for a slow, steady weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. To help you lose weight, exercise most days of the week. Slowly increase the amount of exercise you get. Choose a diet rich in vegetables, fruit and whole grains with smaller portions. (CREDITS: MAYO CLINIC)

Send us a textDr. Katherine P Callahan, neonatologist and bioethicist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, discusses the complexity of genetic testing in neonatal care. While the NICU serves as a launch point for genetic technologies due to high prevalence of genetic disease, genetic information is often ambiguous or uncertain rather than straightforwardly diagnostic. Variants of uncertain significance represent just one challenge—even clearly pathogenic findings may have unclear implications for individual patients, as demonstrated when parents carry the same mutation as their severely affected child. Callahan emphasizes that genetic information poses "informational hazards" requiring careful consideration of psychological and ethical impacts. She advocates for acknowledging complexity, rethinking outcomes beyond traditional measures, and embracing shared decision-making rather than standardized approaches to genomic counseling.

Send us a textHow dietary polyunsaturated fats, especially omega-6 from seed oils, influence inflammation & heart health.Topics Discussed:Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): Omega-6 from seed oils like safflower and corn can convert to pro-inflammatory molecules, while omega-3s produce resolving ones; imbalance biases toward chronic inflammation.Inflammation regulation: Acute inflammation aids healing but requires active “on” and “off” signals from lipid mediators; chronic inflammation arises from excess omega-6, delaying resolution.Heart health & diet: High omega-6 diets worsen post-heart attack outcomes in mice by elevating pro-inflammatory lipids.Evolution & historical context: PUFAs are essential but naturally balanced in pre-industrial diets; modern processing skews ratios, contributing to diseases, as shown in early rat experiments needing minimal fats for survival.Aging & lifestyle factors: Excess omega-6 exacerbates inflammation in older mice; sleep, exercise, and balanced fats are crucial for metabolic health and enzyme function in processing lipids.Cannabis & omega-6 interaction: In mice on high omega-6 diets, CBD-rich cannabis smoke reaches the heart quickly, suppresses immune response, and weakens cardiac strain, unlike in balanced-diet controls.Genetic models: FAT-1 mice converting omega-6 to omega-3 show better healing and neuroprotection; FAT-2 mice doing the opposite exhibit liver fibrosis and metabolic issues, highlighting omega-6 excess harms.Practical Takeaways:Balance omega-6 and omega-3 intake by reducing seed oils in processed foods and increasing sources like fish or algae to support inflammation resolution and heart health.Monitor and adjust fat intake with age, as older individuals are more sensitive to omega-6 excess leading to immune dysregulation.Avoid combining high omega-6 diets with smoking, as it may impair immune and cardiac responses based on animal data.About the guest: Ganesh Halade, PhD is a cardiovascular scientist and associate professor at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

For more than ten years, a masked predator moved through neighborhoods like a ghost — breaking into homes, stalking families, and leaving devastation behind. The numbers alone are staggering: over a hundred burglaries, at least fifty sexual assaults, and thirteen confirmed murders. He slipped between counties and police departments, stayed a step ahead of massive task forces, and then — somehow — disappeared. Not into the shadows, but into ordinary suburban life, where he lived free for more than forty years.This is the full story of Joseph James DeAngelo — the man the world would come to know as the Golden State Killer. We start back in 1974 in Visalia, a small agricultural city where a strange series of burglaries had detectives completely rattled. The person behind them wasn't grabbing TVs or cash. He was spending hours inside people's homes, taking small, personal things — a single earring, coins, women's underwear — and rearranging objects in ways that felt deliberate and unsettling. It wasn't just theft. It was a message: I was here. I know you. I can get to you.From there, we follow the escalation as the Visalia Ransacker's crimes tip into attempted abduction and then murder. We walk through the December 1975 killing of Claude Snelling, a journalism professor who died protecting his teenage daughter from being taken.And we cover the terrifying near-capture just two days later, when Detective William McGowen fought the prowler face-to-face and survived only because the suspect's gun misfired at point-blank range.Then the nightmare shifts north. In 1976, Sacramento is hit by a new kind of terror.The East Area Rapist begins attacking women in their homes with a level of planning and cruelty that left investigators stunned. We break down how his assaults evolved, including the moment he began targeting couples — tying up husbands and boyfriends, stacking dishes on their backs, and forcing them to listen helplessly while he raped their partners. We look at the psychological warfare he used to control entire communities: threatening phone calls, stalking routines, and the methodical surveillance he did before striking again.As the years pass, his crimes migrate south — and turn deadly. Starting in 1979, the man now known as the Original Night Stalker begins murdering couples in their homes across Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange counties. We go crime scene by crime scene, showing how the evidence slowly — and finally — revealed that Visalia, Sacramento, and Southern California were all connected to the same offender.We also dig into the long, frustrating decades of investigation: the dead ends, the jurisdictional chaos, and the breakthroughs that came only when DNA technology caught up to the case. And of course, we cover the seismic moment in 2018 when genetic genealogy identified the suspect, leading detectives straight to DeAngelo's quiet home in Citrus Heights — the same kind of suburb he once terrorized.The twist that still hits like a gut punch? During the height of his crime spree, DeAngelo was a police officer, using his training and insider knowledge to stay invisible.We close with the plea and sentencing — a historic reckoning where fifty-three victims and family members stood up in court to face the man who had stolen so much from them. Their impact statements are heartbreaking, powerful, and a reminder that this story isn't just about the monster — it's about the people who survived him. This episode is the result of hundreds of hours of research across court records, investigative files, victim testimony, and years of reporting. Our goal was to tell this story with care, accuracy, and respect — honoring the victims and the investigators who refused to let the case die. The Golden State Killer investigation didn't just end with an arrest. It changed law enforcement forever. Genetic genealogy opened a door to solving cold cases that once seemed impossible, and we talk about both the promise of that tool and the ethical questions that come with it.And we take a moment to recognize Michelle McNamara, whose relentless work on I'll Be Gone in the Dark helped reignite national attention and kept pressure on the investigation. She died in 2016, two years before DeAngelo was caught, but her voice and determination are woven into the story of how this case was finally solved. If you think you know this case, stick with us — because when you lay every chapter out in full, the scale and horror of what happened, and the way it was finally unraveled, is almost impossible to comprehend.
Hi friend — welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and today we're diving into a topic that quite literally changed the way I understand my body, my energy, and the way I move through midlife: genomics.If you've ever wondered why you're exhausted even when you're “doing everything right,” why weight feels harder to release than ever, or why your sleep has become unpredictable and shallow — this episode will blow your mind in the most empowering way.Because here's the truth:You're not broken.You're not undisciplined.And you're not imagining it.Your genes hold a living, breathing blueprint — one that shows us exactly what your body needs in this season of your life to feel energized, lighter, clearer, and more grounded.In this episode, I walk you through:The three things almost every midlife woman truly wants (and why your genes can help you get there)The major differences between ancestry tests like 23andMe and functional genomicsWhy your genes are not your destiny — and how epigenetics lets you turn certain expressions on or offHow your genetic profile influences:energy productionstubborn weightdetox bottlenecksinflammationcortisol patternssleep rhythmgut repairhormone pathwaysmicronutrient needsand even what kind of workouts your body thrives onWhat it looks like to walk through your results with a guide — instead of staring at a PDF wondering “now what?”How I've personally changed my own routines, nutrition, and daily rhythms since getting my results backThis is one of those episodes that leaves you thinking: Oh… that explains everything. Not in a doom-y way — in a deeply liberating way.Because when you understand your blueprint, you stop fighting your body.You start supporting it.I'd love to hear from youHave you ever taken a genetic test?

Episode SummaryIn this Worldview Wednesday episode, Joel Settecase tackles a classic question: “If we all came from Adam and Eve, who did their kids marry?” Drawing from Genesis 4 and 5, Joel explains that Cain married one of Adam and Eve's descendants—most likely a sister or niece—and why that fits perfectly within a biblical worldview.Key PointsEve was the mother of all living, so all humanity came from her line.Close-relative marriage wasn't prohibited until Leviticus 18.Early humans lived longer, allowing rapid population growth.Genetic decline after the Fall explains why such marriages later became harmful.The unity of the human race points to our shared need for redemption in Christ.Apologetic InsightThis isn't just about ancient genealogy—it's about biblical authority and human origins. The Genesis account holds together logically, scientifically, and theologically in ways secular explanations cannot.TakeawayCain's wife was a descendant of Adam and Eve, proving the Bible's consistency and humanity's shared story under one Creator and Redeemer.Calls to ActionPartner with The Think Institute at thethink.institute/partnerJoin the Hammer & Anvil Society at thethink.institute/societySubscribe and share Worldview Legacy to help more believers think biblically.
When Abby Fish, who was still under the age of 2 in the summer of 2025 was diagnosed with the Pediatric Brain Cancer Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, her mom Amelia and her dad Joel were told how rare and difficult this cancer was. When they then found out that Abby also had the genetic condition Li Fraumeni to go along with her Brain cancer, they were told that the chances of her surviving until she was at least 5 years old were less than 12 percent. After hearing that, they found the Burzynski Clinic in Houston Texas, and that Dr. Burzynski had treated a young woman named Kaityln who is now 25 years old, and had suffered from both the same cancer and same genetic condition that Abby has. Abby is now following the same treatment path that Kaitlyn did.
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic diseases that affect about 16 to 25 per 100,000 people in the US, with the most common childhood form being Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the most common adult form being myotonic dystrophy. The prevalence of DMD is estimated at around 1 in 3,500 live male births. Prenatal carrier screening for this is part of the ACMG Tier 3 expanded carrier panel. This is different from spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). As we recently had a patient who was a MD carrier, with affected male children, who we cared for, we decided to do a quick review of muscular dystrophy: its prevalence, genetics, and evaluation of asymptomatic maternal carriers.1. https://www.mda.org/disease/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy/causes-inheritance2.https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/musculardys/conditioninfo/causes3. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/muscular-dystrophy/4.

In this episode, Antonio explores the complex biology of thyroid hormone production, conversion, and regulation—highlighting how deiodinase enzymes modulate hormone activity at the tissue level and why that matters for interpreting lab results. He discusses the shortcomings of relying solely on TSH as a marker of thyroid function, the ongoing debate around combination therapy with T3 and T4 versus standard T4 treatment, and how genetics, tissue sensitivity, and individual variability influence thyroid hormone metabolism. The conversation also examines how hypothyroidism affects energy, mood, cognition, and longevity; why some patients remain symptomatic despite "normal" labs; and how future research could reshape treatment paradigms. We discuss: How the thyroid produces, stores, and activates hormones like T4 and T3 to finely regulate thyroid activity [2:45]; How fasting alters thyroid hormones to conserve energy [12:45]; Action of the deiodinases: how D1, D2, and D3 enzymes control the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormones [19:15]; The normal function of thyroid hormone and the roles of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and deiodinases in maintaining hormonal balance [23:30]; Why understanding thyroid physiology is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism [33:45]; Testing for thyroid hormones: understanding free vs. total levels, the limitations of current T3 assays, best practices, and more [36:00]; Genetic and sex-based variability in thyroid hormone regulation and their limited clinical significance [43:45]; Hyperthyroidism: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options [46:00]; Hypothyroidism: diagnosis and autoimmune causes of hypothyroidism [56:30]; More on hypothyroidism: diagnostic biomarkers, antibody patterns, and non-autoimmune presentations [1:05:00]; Thyroid hormone replacement therapy [1:15:15]; More on thyroid replacement strategies: exploring the evidence gaps, mortality signals, effects on lipids, and more [1:28:00]; Hypothyroidism basics: causes, antibody implications (including pregnancy), and how to make the diagnosis before choosing therapy [1:35:15]; Thyroid medication: compounded controlled-release T3, brand name versus generic, and what Antonio prescribes to newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients [1:42:45]; Redefining treatment success: why normalizing TSH isn't always enough for patients with hypothyroidism [1:54:45]; Case studies: analysis of two unusual cases of thyroid disease [1:57:00]; Dangers of supplementing with high levels of iodine, and female-specific risk of thyroid disease [2:05:45]; Case study of a patient who presents with elevated TSH but no symptoms [2:09:30]; How future research could reshape treatment, and Antonio's new book called "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" [2:13:15]; and More.

A study found that alcohol raises dementia risk at every level of drinking, overturning decades of claims that moderate use protects your brain Even light drinking damages neurons, disrupts mitochondrial energy production, and accelerates brain aging, showing there is no safe dose for cognitive health Genetic data revealed that for every measurable increase in alcohol consumption, dementia risk rose by about 15%, with the danger extending across all age and ancestry groups Alcohol and linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils follow the same toxic pathway in your liver, creating harmful aldehydes that cause mitochondrial damage and fatty liver disease, both of which impair brain function Reducing or eliminating alcohol and cutting seed oils to under 5 grams per day — ideally 2 grams — support liver recovery, restore mitochondrial function, and protect long-term brain health

The conversation emphasizes the necessity of balancing diet and exercise for optimal health. In this conversation, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Trevor Connor explore the intricate relationship between diet, exercise, and longevity, particularly focusing on the Paleo diet. They discuss common misconceptions about the diet, the importance of balance and variety in nutrition, and the role of metabolic pathways like AMPK and P53 in health. The conversation emphasizes the significance of genetic testing to tailor dietary choices and the need for a balanced approach to fueling during exercise. They conclude with resources for further learning about the Paleo diet and its benefits for health and longevity. For Audience Use code 'Podcast10' to get 10% OFF on any of our supplements at https://gladdenlongevityshop.com/ ! Takeaways Trevor Connor transitioned from professional cycling to studying nutrition. The Paleo diet emphasizes foods our ancestors evolved with. Nutrient density is more important than macronutrient ratios. Glycemic load is a key factor in dietary health. The glycocalyx plays a crucial role in vascular health. Antioxidants can hinder training adaptations if taken pre-exercise. Genetics influence how individuals respond to endurance training. Strength training may enhance antioxidant defenses more than endurance training. A balanced approach to diet and exercise is essential for health. You cannot out supplement a poor diet. You can't run your way out of a bad diet. A balanced approach to diet is crucial. Biology operates on the principle of balance. Variety in diet is essential for health. Understanding metabolic pathways is key to longevity. Genetic testing can guide dietary choices. Fueling during exercise should be based on individual needs. The sports nutrition world may promote unhealthy practices. Natural foods are better for health than processed sugars. Focus on overall health rather than just performance.

In 2016, Ludovic Orlando, a genetics researcher, embarked on the Pegasus Project, an ambitious endeavor to use genetics to discover the origin of the modern horse. There were plenty of theories as to who domesticated horses first–but Ludovic's team came up with their answer: They emerged on the western Eurasian steppe around 4200 years ago. But that revelation was only the beginning of Ludovic's work, as he dug into the genetic origins of different kinds of horses, like the Arabian horse, as well as charted how the horse's genetic diversity changed over time. His research is collected in his new book Horses: A 4,000-Year Genetic Journey Across the World (Princeton UP, 2025) Ludovic Orlando is a CNRS Silver Medal–winning research director and founding director of the Centre for Anthropobiology and Genomics of Toulouse at the University of Toulouse in France.

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today, I'm joined by the luminous Dr. Shivani Gupta, founder of Fusionary Formulas and author of The Inflammation Code. Shivani's story begins with a home full of mold, hair loss, and a reminder that even the healthiest among us can get blindsided by hidden toxins. What followed was a journey of deep functional medicine testing, emotional regulation, and fierce self-advocacy—proof that healing is never linear.We talk about the real root of “inflamma-aging,” why brain fog and fatigue are not normal, and how inflammation is at the center of most chronic disease.

Nearly 7 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s and by 2060, experts say that number could be as high as 14 million. Scientists are trying to find out how one man has been able to stave off Alzheimer's for 25 years, despite having a rare genetic mutation that, doctors say, essentially guaranteed he’d develop the disease. Pam Belluck of The New York Times joins Ali Rogin to discuss. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy
Migration Routes and Genetic Groups 2. Professor Meltzer details the migration routes of ancestral Native Americans, explaining that while they crossed the land bridge during maximum glaciation, they were initially trapped in Alaska by two vast continental ice sheets. The "ice free corridor" along the Rockies was not a viable route until around 13,000 years ago, so the likely path was down the Pacific coast, which may have cleared as early as 16,500 years ago. Meltzer introduces the concept of a "genetic ghost," which is evidence in the genomic record of a contributing population for which no physical sample has yet been found.
