Our continuing theme throughout this series has been, “Are You a True Breeder or a Multiplier?” There are many benefits in becoming a true breeder, and we discussed this in the last episode, however, not everybody can become a true breeder, due to what it takes to make that happen. So, what are the obstacles? The list is long, but here are some of the points we will address: · How do we find the right information? · How do we find the right Mentor? · And, how do we find the right Seed Fowl? Information, especially good information, is harder to find than ever before, even though we have the internet. Finding mentors who know what they are talking about is getting harder, because most are stuck on old wives' tales. And, Seed Fowl are getting harder to find, because most birds don't represent their breed, and are nothing more than mongrels. And then there are the peddlers. The sad truth is that there are very few true breeders today. In fact, there are more peddlers than there are true breeders. They use medications to hide weakness to disease, they play the name game and percentage game, and they say they have pure fowl, but only sell crosses. What are we to do, when there seems to be so many obstacles in our way to becoming a true breeder? That is exactly what we will be talking about in this episode. Make sure to join us, this is a show you do not want to miss. Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains. Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you. Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday's at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain. See ya there!

Today, Razib talks about a new paper, A structured coalescent model reveals deep ancestral structure shared by all modern humans: Understanding the history of admixture events and population size changes leading to modern humans is central to human evolutionary genetics. Here we introduce a coalescence-based hidden Markov model, cobraa, that explicitly represents an ancestral population split and rejoin, and demonstrate its application on simulated and real data across multiple species. Using cobraa, we present evidence for an extended period of structure in the history of all modern humans, in which two ancestral populations that diverged ~1.5 million years ago came together in an admixture event ~300 thousand years ago, in a ratio of ~80:20%. Immediately after their divergence, we detect a strong bottleneck in the major ancestral population. We inferred regions of the present-day genome derived from each ancestral population, finding that material from the minority correlates strongly with distance to coding sequence, suggesting it was deleterious against the majority background. Moreover, we found a strong correlation between regions of majority ancestry and human–Neanderthal or human–Denisovan divergence, suggesting the majority population was also ancestral to those archaic humans.
Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Kris: Hi, I was wondering if you would have any suggestions ,help or feed back on dermatomyositis/antisynthetase syndrome . My husband (Anthony) was recently diagnosed with it, and everything I read and hear it seems little scary. We see a functional medicine dr. now but she is waiting to see what a rheumatologist suggests. Both my husband and myself are thinking detoxing would be the first thing we should do. Would you have any suggestions or thought on how we deal and handle this? thank you in advance Frankie: Hi Stephen, hope your having a great day. I've been dealing with post-nasal drip for a while, and my ENT believes it's caused by acid. I'm 21 and was prescribed two doses of Pantoprazole 40mg and two doses of Ranitidine 150mg, but I stopped after a month because I was supposed to take them for three months, and I don't want to stay on them that long. I had asthma when I was younger, so I wonder if that could be a factor. At this point, I don't know what else to do to get rid of it. any advice? Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I took the food sensitivity test and the heavy metals test. On my food sensitivity test it showed Candida albicans and I had some heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury show up on my HM test. Do you recommend doing the detox before doing the CBO protocol or vice versa? If I could only do one, which one would you recommend? For the detox, would you recommend the heavy metals one or the general 7 days (I've never done a detox before). Also, would it be safe to start the estrogen balance and estrogen support supplements at the same time as starting a detox or CBO protocol? If I'm just trying help my body excrete estrogen would you recommend just the estrogen balance supplement? I don't make too much estrogen but it's high because my body isn't excreting it well. TY!!! Jill: Thank you Dr. Cabral for your honest and straight forward approach. I have the MTHFR gene and seek a daily vitamin with B vitamins & folate. Many products are available with the activated or methylated forms of folate, B6, and B12. However, when I take them I experience headaches, a feeling of overstimulation, and anxiousness. I spent months experimenting and broke down my multivitamin taking a complex without any B vitamins and then added in individual forms of non methylated folate and B vitamins. I had no issue when folate and B vitamins were methyl free such as folinic acid and the Hydroxocobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin forms of B12. Tell me I'm not crazy! Do you agree that some people may be sensitive to methylated nutrients? Would you consider making DNS with methyl free nutrients? Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm 34 years old and have recently been diagnosed with isolated high diastolic blood pressure (systolic is normal). I live a healthy lifestyle including daily exercise, balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I recently left a job causing me some stress but otherwise I live a pretty stress-free life and I also practice daily yoga and meditation. My mom was diagnosed with hypertension in her 20s and has been on medication since. My HCP suggested starting me on medication too. I feel very strongly about relying on a lifelong medication. My question is even though I do everything correct to prevent high blood pressure, is it possible that some things are just simply genetic? Any suggestions before trying medication? Anything helps!

Episode Summary: In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky — expert in obesity medicine — explores the powerful link between stress and hunger. While many recognize stress affects eating, Dr. Novitsky explains the underlying science, behavioral patterns, and offers tools to manage stress-driven eating with compassion.Understanding Stress ResponsesDr. Novitsky explains that responses to stress vary widely. Some lose their appetite during stress, while others overeat. This depends on physiology, past experiences, and genetics. It's not about willpower; it's about biology and behavior.The Role of HormonesAdrenaline (acute stress): Suppresses hunger during “fight or flight” by slowing digestion.Cortisol (chronic stress): Increases appetite and cravings, especially for sugar and fat.Ghrelin: The “hunger hormone,” rises with stress, intensifying hunger cues.Leptin: The “fullness hormone,” can be blunted by chronic stress, leading to overeating.Acute vs. Chronic StressShort-term stress may shut down appetite. Chronic stress, however, causes lasting hormonal shifts that increase hunger, slow metabolism, and may cause leptin resistance. Dr. Novitsky explains how chronic stress and dieting can disrupt satiety signals and lead to weight challenge — even in those with a “normal” BMI.Behavioral & Genetic ComponentsCoping with food often starts in childhood. Learned behaviors and genetic predispositions influence whether one turns to food under stress. Dr. Novitsky shares her personal experience using food for emotional comfort, highlighting the importance of empathy over shame.Tools to Navigate Stress EatingSomatic Stress Scale (1–10) from DBT helps identify rising stress before acting on it.Mindful Pauses: Ask, “Am I hungry or triggered?”Compassionate Self-Talk: Replace guilt with curiosity.Nourishing Alternatives: Movement, breathwork, journaling, or support.Regulate First: Focus on emotional regulation before dietary restriction.Key InsightManaging stress is a foundation for managing hunger. When we understand our body's signals and respond with awareness and kindness, we create sustainable habits. Dr. Novitsky reminds us we're human, not broken—and we're in this together.Final ThoughtThere's no shame in stress eating. With knowledge, tools, and compassion, we can make empowered, healthier choices. Dr. Novitsky signs off with gratitude and love.Timestamps00:00:22 - Overview of Stress and Hunger00:00:52 - Individual Responses to Stress00:01:25 - Genetics and Stress Response00:01:46 - Acute vs. Chronic Stress00:02:06 - Hormones Involved in Stress Response00:02:28 - Adrenaline and Acute Stress00:03:43 - Cortisol and Chronic Stress00:05:00 - Insulin and Blood Sugar00:05:20 - Ghrelin and Hunger00:06:13 - Weight Loss and Stress00:06:47 - Leptin and Satiety00:07:30 - Leptin Resistance Explained00:08:02 - Normal Weight Obesity00:09:05 - Critique of BMI00:10:12 - Leptin Resistance and Metabolic Rate00:11:22 - Chronic Dieting and Leptin Resistance00:12:01 - Summary of Hormones and Stress00:13:43 - Genetic Component of Emotional Eating00:18:09 - Empathy and Emotional Eating00:21:09 - Identifying Patterns of Stress Eating00:24:08 - Recognizing Stress Levels00:25:01 - Stress Scale and Emotional Regulation00:27:07 - Chronic Stress and Hunger00:29:04 - Positive Stress and Dysregulation00:30:09 - Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Dr. Ali Novitsky on SocialsTikTokFacebookInstagramYouTubeWork with Dr. Ali• Beginner Strength Training Program – 12 months for only $199!

In this compelling episode, Dr. Vera Tarman interviews Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a pioneer in the field of cancer metabolism. Dr. Seyfried challenges the mainstream view of cancer as a genetic disease and presents strong evidence that cancer is fundamentally a mitochondrial metabolic disorder. Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried is a distinguished American biologist and professor at Boston College, renowned for his pioneering work in cancer metabolism. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, and postdoctoral training in neurochemistry at Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Seyfried has dedicated his career to exploring the metabolic underpinnings of cancer and other neurological diseases. Dr. Seyfried is best known for his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (2012), where he presents compelling evidence that cancer is primarily a mitochondrial metabolic disorder rather than a genetic one. This perspective builds upon the early 20th-century findings of Otto Warburg, who observed that cancer cells rely heavily on fermentation for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen—a phenomenon known as the Warburg effect. Dr. Seyfried's research suggests that targeting cancer's metabolic dependencies, such as glucose and glutamine, through dietary interventions like the ketogenic diet, could offer non-toxic therapeutic strategies. We explore: How cancer cells fuel themselves differently from healthy cells The connection between sugar, ultra-processed foods (UPFs), and cancer growth The Warburg Effect and the roles of glucose and glutamine in tumor development Whether refined sugar is carcinogenic like tobacco Why Dr. Seyfried believes ketogenic diets and caloric restriction can be powerful cancer therapies How his views align with metabolic psychiatry (Dr. Chris Palmer's Brain Energy) The controversial yet promising approach of "press-pulse" therapy The potential for preventing cancer through dietary change Follow: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html https://tomseyfried.com The content of our show is educational only.

Christina Shadle is a functional nutritional therapy practitioner (say that five times fast) aaaand she likes herself some wine (who doesn't?). But she also found that over time (literal time, we are talking aging, people), her tolerance and ability to bounce back from a few glasses of her favorite cocktail wasn't what it used to be. So she created her course, WELLNESS FOR WINOS, where the goal is to keep the cocktails and lose the consequences. She joins us to talk the good of habit stacking, detox and balance, and how a 14 day nourishing reset can be a life changer. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, am I right? Might as well enjoy it and feel good after doing so. This one is for the wine lovers out there (like me). _______________________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

Direct to consumer tests that claim to tell us our biological – as opposed to chronological – age are getting a lot of attention, but what can they really tell us about our health? Science editor Ian Sample talks to Dr Brian H Chen, an epidemiologist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, who has conducted research into a variety of these tests called epigenetic clocks. He explains what exactly they are measuring and whether, once we have the results, there are any evidence-based strategies we can adopt to lower our biological age.

Are you still focused on diet while ignoring the most foundational aspect of health? Dr. Max Gulhane reveals why sunlight and circadian biology might be more important than what's on your plate in this interview with Kaitlyn Menere of She Said What?! Podcast.Dr. Gulhane shares his personal journey of transforming his health after conventional medicine failed to address his adult-onset acne. What began as an exploration into low-carb and carnivore nutrition expanded into something far more profound—understanding how our ancient cellular machinery depends on natural light signals to function properly.The conversation ventures into territory rarely covered in medical school: how mitochondria—the energy-producing organelles in our cells—evolved over billions of years to respond to natural light wavelengths. When these tiny powerhouses don't function optimally due to disrupted light environments, disease follows. As Dr. Gulhane explains, "Genetics loads the gun, but your environment and lifestyle pull the trigger."Perhaps most fascinating is the research showing that sun avoidance carries mortality risks comparable to smoking—directly challenging Australia's decades-long "slip, slop, slap" campaign. While ultraviolet light can damage DNA, our bodies have evolved sophisticated repair mechanisms triggered by the very same sunlight exposure. This explains why those who get more sun exposure live longer despite potentially higher skin cancer diagnoses.For listeners struggling with chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disorders, or metabolic issues, Dr. Gulhane offers a holistic framework that goes beyond simply removing problem foods. By addressing light exposure, grounding, EMF reduction, and circadian alignment, many patients have reduced or eliminated their dependence on medications.The episode concludes with details about the upcoming Regenerate Summit in Sydney and Melbourne, where health pioneers will share cutting-edge perspectives on ancestral health practices and regenerative approaches to wellness.Follow KAITLYNInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynmenere/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/she-said-what/id1765050611SUPPORT MY WORK

Genesis-Creation: A rock cannot make itself and a fire cannot burn forever. Matter cannot come from non-matter and a perpetual motion machine cannot exist. Therefore, the universe could not have made itself from nothing, nor could it have always been moving, churning, working, and burning. Another way to state these first two laws of thermodynamics is that the physical universe must have had a supernatural Creator sometime in the recent past. This study presents the scientifically compelling Genesis story. Of all men, Christians more than any are able to weave the latest findings into our understanding of the fabric of the universe. Since God created the physical universe, good science reveals God. And while some say that you cannot prove the existence of God, the Bible tells us that the clear evidence of His personal, powerful, and eternal existence is manifest through the creation!

Do our cholesterol numbers tell the full story? Cardiometabolic health encompasses more than just heart function—it includes metabolic processes, blood sugar control, lipid levels, and inflammation markers that affect your entire body's health. Fewer than 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy, making it crucial to look beyond standard cholesterol numbers to understand your complete cardiovascular risk profile.In today's episode, functional nutritionist Chris Newport explores hidden factors that could be quietly impacting your heart and metabolic health.You'll discover: • Why traditional cholesterol tests might miss critical warning signs • What the size of your LDL particles can reveal about your risk • The simple blood test that offers a clearer picture of heart disease risk • A genetic marker that could influence your heart health—whether your labs are "normal" or not • How your body's ability to shift between fuel sources impacts your long-term health • The surprising link between blood sugar, carbs, and cholesterol problems • A fresh look at heart health through the American Heart Association's updated roadmap • How your environment and lifestyle could silently shape your risk • Why tiny daily habits can lead to massive improvements over time

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib comments on a new paper in Nature, Ancient DNA from the Green Sahara reveals ancestral North African lineage. Here is the abstract: Although it is one of the most arid regions today, the Sahara Desert was a green savannah during the African Humid Period (AHP) between 14,500 and 5,000 years before present, with water bodies promoting human occupation and the spread of pastoralism in the middle Holocene epoch1. DNA rarely preserves well in this region, limiting knowledge of the Sahara's genetic history and demographic past. Here we report ancient genomic data from the Central Sahara, obtained from two approximately 7,000-year-old Pastoral Neolithic female individuals buried in the Takarkori rock shelter in southwestern Libya. The majority of Takarkori individuals' ancestry stems from a previously unknown North African genetic lineage that diverged from sub-Saharan African lineages around the same time as present-day humans outside Africa and remained isolated throughout most of its existence. Both Takarkori individuals are closely related to ancestry first documented in 15,000-year-old foragers from Taforalt Cave, Morocco2, associated with the Iberomaurusian lithic industry and predating the AHP. Takarkori and Iberomaurusian-associated individuals are equally distantly related to sub-Saharan lineages, suggesting limited gene flow from sub-Saharan to Northern Africa during the AHP. In contrast to Taforalt individuals, who have half the Neanderthal admixture of non-Africans, Takarkori shows ten times less Neanderthal ancestry than Levantine farmers, yet significantly more than contemporary sub-Saharan genomes. Our findings suggest that pastoralism spread through cultural diffusion into a deeply divergent, isolated North African lineage that had probably been widespread in Northern Africa during the late Pleistocene epoch.

Story at-a-glance Freckles are small, flat, light brown spots that darken in summer and fade in winter; they typically appear in clusters on sun-exposed areas Sunspots are flat, brownish patches that don't change with seasons; they signal sun damage and appear on sun-exposed areas like hands, face and chest Moles can be flat or raised, tan to dark brown, sometimes with hair, and should be monitored for skin cancer warning signs Genetics play a significant role in skin spots — fair-skinned individuals with family history are more prone to freckles, while mole numbers are often genetically determined Monthly skin checks are recommended to monitor changes in skin spots; see a doctor if you notice asymmetry, unusual borders or odd colors

With the help of cat owners, a new project investigates cats' biology and aims to link some of their behaviors to their genes.Calling all cat people: This one's for you. Despite humans' long history of welcoming felines into their homes and delis, research on cats lags far behind research on dogs. Now, scientists behind the project Darwin's Ark are working to close the cat gap by enlisting cat caretakers from across the country to submit a tuft of fur and answer a few questions about their feline's appearance, personality, and behaviors.Host Flora Lichtman talks about the project, as well as what we do and don't know about cat genetics, with Dr. Elinor Karlsson, chief scientific officer at Darwin's Ark, and director of the Vertebrate Genomics Group at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Universities.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
