Send us a textThe genetics of sleep duration and sleep timing.Episode Summary: Dr. Ying-Hui Fu discusses her research on the genetics of sleep, focusing on natural short sleepers who thrive on 4-6 hours of sleep and the heritability of sleep traits like duration and timing. She explores how sleep efficiency, rather than just duration, may explain why some need less sleep without health deficits, and delves into the molecular and circadian mechanisms regulating sleep. About the guest: Ying-Hui Fu, PhD is a neuroscientist and professor at UCSF, where her lab studies the genetics of human sleep behaviors, particularly sleep duration and schedule.Discussion Points:Sleep Traits Are Genetic: Sleep duration (how long you sleep) and sleep schedule (when you sleep) are partially heritable, with most people needing 7-9 hours, while rare natural short sleepers thrive on 4-6 hours.Natural Short Sleepers: These individuals fall asleep quickly, have high sleep efficiency, and live healthy, active lives without deficits, possibly due to faster toxin clearance and repair during sleep.Sleep Efficiency Matters: Short sleepers may complete restorative sleep processes (e.g., clearing toxins, repairing damage) more efficiently, allowing them to need less sleep.Circadian & Entrainment Pathways: Sleep timing is regulated by a molecular clock and environmental cues like light, with mutations in entrainment pathways causing extreme schedules (e.g., early bedtime or night owl tendencies).Modern Lifestyle Harms Sleep: Stimuli like blue light and tense media disrupt sleep patterns, leading to widespread sleep deprivation and health risks.Shift Work Risks: Shift workers face higher risks of diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration due to disrupted sleep cycles, though genetic background influences susceptibility.Finding Your Sleep Rhythm: A two-week vacation without stimulants or artificial light can help determine your natural sleep schedule and duration.Sleep's Health Impact: Poor sleep is a major factor in aging and diseases like Alzheimer's, making it as critical as diet and exercise for health.Related episode:M&M 237: Circadian Biology: Genetics, Behavior, Metabolism, Light, OxygenSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

In this episode of the Family Pet Podcast, hosts Michael Shirley and Halie Cameron talk with board certified veterinary cardiologist Dr. Kiira Rodriguez. They discuss the circulatory system, the significance of heart murmurs and arrhythmias, and the genetic factors influencing heart disease in pets. Dr. Rodriguez explains diagnostic procedures like echocardiograms and the implications of congestive heart failure. The conversation emphasizes the importance of managing heart conditions in pets and reassures pet parents about the longevity and quality of life for pets with heart issues. Dr. Rodriguez web site: https://www.nashvillevetspecialists.com/specialties/cardiologyTakeawaysThe circulatory system in pets functions similarly to that in humans.Heart murmurs can be common and not always indicative of serious issues.Genetics play a significant role in the likelihood of heart disease in pets.Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for early detection of heart issues.Echocardiograms are essential for diagnosing heart murmurs accurately.Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot meet the body's demands.Fluid buildup in the body can result from heart failure, affecting various organs.Most heart conditions in pets can be managed with medication.Pet parents should be aware of their pet's breed predispositions to heart disease.Keywordspet cardiology, heart health, pet care, veterinary medicine, heart disease, pet parents, echocardiogram, heart murmur, congestive heart failure, pet healthcare
* A Whole Lot Moore: Peter W. Moor, ThD is a Christian master metallurgist listed as "inventor" in patents held by U.S. Steel. Pete began speaking to Churches on Science and Evolution in 1970. His more recent work has been to help fund organizations that do scientific creation research and those who present that evidence to the public. * Aether or: ...relative nonsense. Hear a brief history, and then, not only criticisms of, but an alternate theory to Einstein's rather ridiculous postulates regarding time and space. Hear how Einstein not only dethroned Newtonian physics, but how his relativistic thinking has infected the minds of otherwise relatively smart creationists! * E-PLat - (The Simhony/EPOLA): RSR is suggesting a name for the E-PLat!! Hear how Menahem Simhony is the father of a scientifically satisfactory description of what "space" is likely made of. Originally called the EPOLA, for the "Electron/Positron Lattice," we're suggesting E-PLat to avoid confusion with a certain virus! You'll have to listen to all 4 parts of the interview to form your opinion on whether or not the EPOLA/E-PLat makes more sense to you than Einstein's "purely mathematical" description of a relativistic universe. * Deriving $10,000.00: ... and quite possibly a Nobel Prize! RSR and Dr. Moore are offering a prize of $10,000.00 to the first person to submit an acceptable technical derivation of the Gravitational Constatn "G" based on the Natural Physics and Structure of the Simhony/EPOLA Model of the Space Vaccuum.

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

* Even Moore: Peter W. Moore, ThD is a Christian master metallurgist listed as "inventor" in patents held by U.S. Steel. Pete began speaking to Churches on Science and Evolution in 1970. His more recent work has been to help fund organizations that do scientific creation research and those who present that evidence to the public. * E-Plat - (The Simhony/EPOLA): RSR is suggesting a name for the E-Plat!! Here how Menahem Simhony is the father of a scientifically satisfactory description of what "space" is likely made of. Originally called the EPOLA, for the "Electron/Positron Lattice," we're suggesting E-Plat to avoid confusion with a certain virus! You'll have to listen to all 4 parts of the interview to form your opinion on whether or not the E-Plat makes more sense to you than Einstein's "purely mathematical" description of a relativistic universe. * Aether or: ...relative nonsense. Hear a brief history, and then, not only criticisms of, but an alternate theory to Einstein's rather ridiculous postulates regarding time and space. Hear how Einstein not only dethroned Newtonian physics, but how his relativistic thinking has infected the minds of otherwise relatively smart creationists! * Derive $10,000.00: ...and quite possibly a Nobel prize! RSR and Dr. Moore are offering a prize of $10,000.00 to the first person to submit an acceptable technical derivation of the Gravitational Constant “G” based on the Natural Physics and Structure of the E-Plat Model of the Space Vacuum.

Send us a textHow our biological clocks shape biology from the molecular to behavioral level.Episode Summary: Dr. Joseph Takahashi discusses circadian rhythms, exploring their biological basis, from molecular mechanisms to their impact on metabolism and health; the discovery of circadian clock genes; role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and how light, feeding, and oxygen influence these rhythms. The conversation highlights practical implications, such as the effects of artificial light and meal timing on health, and touches on emerging research linking stronger circadian clocks to longevity.About the guest: Joseph Takahashi, PhD is a renowned neuroscientist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where he leads research on circadian clock genes.Discussion Points:The suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus acts as the brain's central clock, syncing with light via the retina.Key circadian genes like CLOCK and BMAL regulate thousands of genes, especially those involved in metabolism, impacting health outcomes.Internal desynchronization, when brain and organ clocks misalign (e.g., from eating at night), can lead to metabolic issues like pre-diabetes.In mice, eating at the right time (night for nocturnal animals) extends lifespan by up to 35% under caloric restriction, compared to 10% with spread-out feeding.Artificial light, especially blue light at night, disrupts melatonin and circadian rhythms, while natural sunlight supports healthy eye development.Melatonin, a darkness-signaling hormone, is best for resetting rhythms (e.g., jet lag) at low doses, not as a sedative, and U.S. supplements vary widely in quality.Oxygen-sensing proteins interact with circadian clock components, hinting at links between altitude, metabolism, and health.Learning and memory show diurnal variations, with better performance at certain times, influenced by circadian modulation of synaptic activity.A stronger circadian clock, created genetically in mice, led to 16% longer lifespan and resistance to weight gain (unpublished research).Related episode:M&M 202: Why Do Animals Sleep? | Vlad Vyazovskiy*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay explores the connection between B vitamins and ADHD in children. From emotional outbursts and brain fog to poor sleep and focus issues, Dana shares why certain B vitamins—especially B6, B9 (folate), and B12—may be at the root of lingering challenges, even when parents have cleaned up their child's diet and added supplements. She breaks down how genetics like the MTHFR, SHMT1, and FUT2 mutations can affect how kids process these nutrients and why getting the “wrong” form of a vitamin might be making things worse instead of better. With clear explanations and actionable tips, Dana outlines how to use food, testing, and smart supplementation to support methylation, neurotransmitter production, detox, and more. Whether you're totally new to B vitamins or you've already tried some without results, this episode delivers the must-know science behind one of the most overlooked pieces of the ADHD puzzle. If you're ready to go beyond generic advice and support your child based on their unique needs, this episode is a must-listen.

"B vitamins aren't just about boosting energy or immunity—they're essential for brain development, detoxification, mood regulation, sleep, and focus." "Many kids with ADHD—and especially those with MTHFR gene mutations—can't effectively convert synthetic folic acid into the active form." "Methylation is like your body's traffic director." "If methylation isn't working… nothing works properly." "Your child's bloodwork might show normal B12 levels, but if their FUT2 gene isn't working properly, they still may not be absorbing or using that B12." "Methyl-B12 or methylfolate might be powerful keys—but if they don't fit your child's lock, they just won't work." "Working with a practitioner to trial supplements cautiously—and monitor responses—is key." "Food-based supplements can be a practical way to increase B vitamin intake for kids who struggle with whole-food sources." "I'm proud of you. You're doing the hard work. You're learning, showing up, and fighting for your child's health. And that matters." Dana Kay Resources:
Welcome to this episode of The Fertility Podcast, in conversation with the HFEA and Emma Whitney aka Emma the Embryologist Director of Embryology and Genetics at The Evewell also a trustee for Fertility Action. You'll hear from both ladies, about the work that is being done to help you make a more informed decision when it comes to choosing a fertility clinic. What we discussed: -What the HFEA does, how it is set up to license and inspect all fertility clinics and embryo research centres-The duty it has to share data, which it has recorded since 1991 and it publishes data on what is happening across the UK-The increase in IVF cycles has increased to 1 child in every classroom and how the laws are strict anonymity rules in terms of who can access information about who has treatment. -Increase in same sex couple and single patients having treatment -Increase in number of people freezing their eggs and the usage-Funded cycles by the NHS and privately funded and how people are getting the money together - from remortgaging their house, doing crowd funding, bike rides for charity-Plea for GP's and primary care service providers to refer people as quickly as possible -Issues around outcomes in Black women and what more patients can do to get a referral from a primary care provider and how it's an outrage that there is such discrepancy. -Choose a Fertility Clinic service - on the HFEA website, if you're looking for a clinic and how you can look by postcode / name of clinic and there's information on what the Inspectors think of the clinic. There's an ability for other patients to rate it and how the feedback goes directly to inspectors. -How one of the most important considerations is location. -How the impact of social media and friends and family might affect your decisions and why it's good to look at more than one clinic and that there are more and more clinics doing online open evenings as what might have been good for your friend, it has to be right for you. -How today people talk about it much more on social media -Emma shared her personal story and how she became a trustee for Fertility Action. -Emma gives her insights on the Choose a fertility clinic data and we discuss what else patients need to be mindful of in terms of discrepencies and age consideration.

A few years ago, Jeff Krasno thought he was pretty healthy... Though he suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, those symptoms seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, "How can that be? I run a wellness company!" His diagnosis propelled him to consult every expert at his disposal and engage in an intensive “me-search” to turn his health around. On this journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with health in the modern world. In his new book Good Stress (co-authored with his wife, Schuyler Grant, who shepherded him through 300-plus interviews with doctors and helped distill the results into actionable information) Jeff shares what he’s learned and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health—and in today's podcast we unpack it all. Jeff explains that the comforts and conveniences of modern life in the developed world undermine human biology. People evolved with Paleolithic stressors and scarcity, which conferred health and resilience. Modern life sets you up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer, and more. Chronic disease is the result of chronic ease: an endless abundance of calories, sedentary desk jobs, exposure to blue light, and separation from nature. To come back into balance, you need to thoughtfully subject your body and mind to the stressors you’re naturally built for.

Last month, scientists reported a historic first: they gave the first personalized gene-editing treatment to a baby who was born with a rare life-threatening genetic disorder. Before the treatment, his prognosis was grim. But after three doses, the baby's health improved. So how does it work? What are the risks? And what could this breakthrough mean for the 30 million people in the US who have a rare genetic disease with no available treatments?To help get some answers, Host Flora Lichtman is joined by the physician-scientists who led this research: geneticist Dr. Kiran Musunuru and pediatrician Dr. Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas.Guests: Dr. Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas is an assistant professor of pediatrics and genetics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania.Dr. Kiran Musunuru is a professor of translational research at the University of Pennsylvania.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
