On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating topic of good stress versus bad stress with our guest Eliza Huie, Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church and biblical counseling instructor at Reform Theological Seminary. We discuss how certain types of stress can actually be beneficial for growth and motivation, while other forms can be detrimental to our wellbeing. Drawing from her expertise as a licensed professional counselor and author of "I'm Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace," we examine the differences between "eustress" (good stress) and "distress" (bad stress).

In this episode, I interview Dr. Ken Sharlin, a neurologist and the author of The Healthy Brain Toolbox, to discuss Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and ALS. Dr. Sharlin explores the symptoms, causes, and potential breakthroughs in treating these diseases through both conventional and functional medicine.What We Discuss:Parkinson's Symptoms and Early Signs: Both motor symptoms (such as tremors, rigidity, and shuffling gait) and non-motor symptoms (including anxiety, depression, constipation, and REM sleep behavior disorder) can appear during a pre-motor phase that may last over a decade before diagnosis. The Neuroscience of Parkinson's: We explore how dopamine loss and damage to the basal ganglia disrupt movement, highlighting the role of dopamine in the disease's hallmark symptoms.Current Treatments: While there's no cure, treatments like levodopa manage symptoms. Diagnostic tools like DAT and SPECT scans reveal brain abnormalities that guide treatment.Levodopa: This vital medication helps restore dopamine but can cause side effects like psychosis, making it important to balance with functional approaches. Explore its science, benefits, risks, and limitations. Environmental Factors: Toxins, head injuries, and gut health may contribute to Parkinson's, with inflammation and oxidative stress playing key roles in its development.Gut-Brain Connection: We discuss how gut health affects brain function and the potential of diet and probiotics to slow disease progression.Diet and Lifestyle: A plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet, along with sleep, exercise, and stress management, is crucial for brain health and reducing inflammation.Understanding Systems Biology: We explore systems biology and how our interconnected bodily systems influence neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, advocating for a holistic strategy instead of just treating individual organs or symptoms. Reversing Cognitive Decline: Dr. Sharlin shares success stories of reversing Alzheimer's through functional medicine, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes and controlling inflammation.RESOURCESBOOKS- An Essay on the Shaking Palsy by James Parkinson- The Healthy Brain Toolbox by Dr. Ken Sharlin- Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky DRUGS- Aducanumab (Aduhelm)- Donanemab (Kisunla)- Fluoxetine (Prozac)- Omeprazole (Prilosec, Losec)- Lecanemab (Leqembi) - Levodopa and Carbidopa (Sinemet)MOVIES & TV- Awakenings- Star Trek- Supersize MePEOPLE- Barbara Pickut- Brett Favre- Hans Selye- James Parkinson- Leonardo da Vinci- Morgan Spurlock- Robert Sapolsky- Robin Williams- Robert De Niro- Walter CannonORGANIZATIONS- Bened Life- Biogen- Eli Lilly- Eisai - Green Bay Packers- The Institute for Functional Medicine- University of MichiganVOCABULARY- Alpha-synuclein- Amyloid- Cytochrome P450- Cytokines- Electron transport chain- General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)- Glutathione- Glycolysis- Krebs Cycle - Lateral ventricles- Montreal Cognitive Assessment- Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)- mTOR pathway- Peroxide- Postencephalitic Parkinsonism - Superoxide- Tau PET imaging- Trichloroethylene- Urea cycleConnect & Learn MoreWebsite: functionalmedicine.doctor Book: healthybraintoolbox.com

Most of us take free will for granted — from the biggest of life decisions to choosing an ice cream flavor, we are generally capable of freely deciding how to think and how to behave without outside influence. But Robert Sapolsky believes our decisions cannot be disentangled from our genetics, environment, and neurobiology. In other words, to him, free will does not exist. Dr. Sapolsky, a neuroscientist and primatologist at Stanford University, is a leading thinker on the biology of stress, human behavior, neurodegenerative diseases, and the science of free will and determinism. He is the author of multiple bestselling books, including Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers (1994), Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst (2017), and Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will (2023). His works have been featured widely in the popular press, from National Geographic to The New York Times. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Sapolsky presents his arguments against free will, along the way making detours through chaos and complexity theory, philosophy, ethics, and neuroscience. He shows how subtracting free will from the way culture thinks about crime, mental health, and human development have resulted in more humane health, justice, and educational systems. Finally, we contemplate together what human flourishing even means in the context of a life without free will. His ideas have profound implications not just on our society, but also on our understanding of human nature, challenging our perceptions and provoking deep reflection on how we navigate the choices in our lives.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:08 - How Dr. Sapolsky chose a career straddling both neuroscience and primatology5:04 - The moment when Dr. Sapolsky realized he did not believe humans have free will16:16 - How society becomes more humane when free will is factored out23:29 - The deep implications that free will and determinism could have on criminology 34:13 - How a belief in a lack of free will can negatively affect motivation on a societal scale43:11 - What does human flourishing look like in a world without free will? 48:07 - The best moments in life in which to utilize this understanding of free will Dr. Robert Sapolsky has authored numerous publications, a full bibliography of his works can be found here.

Stuff I've learned reading “Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers” by Robert Sapolsky. I really wanted to explain how high blood pressure is damaging the body. But, how people used to inject testicle extracts of animals had to be included.
Dr. Robert Sapolsky a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant winner and professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University has rankled the scientific and philosophic communities by arguing one simple point: There is no free will! We only THINK we're making our own decisions. Really, no really! When Jason and Peter heard this, they realized that they had absolutely no choice but to contact Dr. Sapolsky so they could get him to explain his thesis…in a simplistic way…that even they could understand. And he did! Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a research associate with the Institute of Primate Research at the National Museum of Kenya, and the author of: Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, A Primate's Memoir, The Trouble with Testosterone, Monkeyluv, and his latest is Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. He is a regular contributor to Discover. IN THIS EPISODE: Why a 14-year-old Robert Sapolsky concluded there is no free will. Misunderstanding what free will is; Dr. Sapolsky provides his definition. Determinism verses anti-determinism. How our sense of smell can affect our beliefs and choices. Thanks mom! How your pregnant mother's elevated stress levels gave you a 20-fold likelihood of developing an anxiety disorder. Minority Report's “pre-crime” idea is real and being implemented. Professor Sapolsky realizes that most philosophers and scientists reject his conclusions. Sapolsky says the world becomes more humane when we accept his hypothesis. Right, wrong, ethics, morality, compassion – What do we do with those concepts in a world without free will? Google-heim: No free will BUT the best things in life are free!

In this episode we talk about what happened to the Life on Books Podcast, why we haven't posted a single new episode in 2024, despite finishing 2023 so strongly and with some very big goals. In this episode, Andy and Tony pull back the curtain on their private lives and talk about some of the monumental shifts in both of their lives, and how that has kept them from releasing a new episode. In this episode we talk about relationships, mental health, the concept of consciousness and free will, infidelity, and of course..books! Here is a list of all of the books mentioned in the podcast!

As a boy, Robert M. Sapolsky dreamed of living inside the African dioramas in New York's Museum of Natural History. By age twenty-one, he made it to Africa and joined a troop of baboons. Although being a naturalist appealed to him because it was a chance to “get the hell out of Brooklyn,” he never left people behind.In fact, he chose to live with the baboons because they are perfect for learning about stress and health in humans. Like their human cousins, baboons live in large, complex social groups with plenty of free time, Dr. Sapolsky writes, “to devote to being rotten to each other” – for a baboon or human, “stress” is rarely about evading a lion. Instead, it's mostly about members of your own species psychologically stressing you. And this is precisely when stress-related disease arises, Dr. Sapolsky explains in his book Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers. And like people, baboons are good material for stories. His gift for storytelling led The New York Times to suggest, “If you crossed Jane Goodall with a borscht-belt comedian, she might have written a book like A Primate's Memoir,” Dr. Sapolsky's account of his years as a field biologist.Sapolsky's unique perspective on the human condition comes from his more than thirty years spent as both a field primatologist and a laboratory neuroscientist. As a result, he effortlessly moves from discussing pecking orders in primate societies (human and baboon) to explaining the neurochemistry of stress—in ways that even science-phobics readily understand.What fascinates Dr. Sapolsky most about human behavior is a paradox – we are both the most violent species on earth, as well as the most altruistic, cooperative and empathic. In his most recent book Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, he examines how every act – heroic, appalling, or in between – is caused by the neurobiology that occurred a second before, the environmental stimuli minutes before that triggered that neurobiology, hormonal influences during prior hours….all the way back to childhood and fetal experience sculpting our brains, and the effects of genes, culture, ecology and evolution.Out of this comes a perspective that as biological organisms, we have far less free will than usually assumed; Dr. Sapolsky's most recent work focuses on how to think about this, whether considering the actions of a murderer, or the actions for which you are praised. This synthesis is the basis of his new book, Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will (Penguin/Random House, October 17, 2023).Dr. Sapolsky is a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, a professor of biology, neurology and neurosurgery at Stanford University, and a research associate at the National Museum of Kenya. His 2008 National Geographic special on stress, and his on-line lectures about human behavioral biology, have been watched tens of millions of times. The humor and humanity he brings to sometimes-sobering subject matter make Dr. Sapolsky a fascinating speaker. He lectures widely on topics as diverse as stress and stress-related diseases, biology and the free will debate, the biology of our individuality, the biology of religious belief, depression, memory, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

Our guest is renowned neuroscientist and primatologist Robert Sapolsky. He's spent his career investigating behavior across the animal kingdom, including humans. In books like The Trouble With Testosterone and Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, Sapolsky translates decades of research into fascinating stories and lessons accessible to non-scientific audiences. His latest book, Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will, offers a marvelous synthesis of what we know about how consciousness works—the tight weave between reason and emotion and between stimulus and response in the moment and over a life. On January 3, 2024, Sapolsky joined Caterina Fake for a conversation recorded at the studios of KQED in San Francisco.
Dr. Robert Sapolsky has accomplished so much in his life and career, including winning the MacArthur “genius” grant and authoring several best-selling books. But as he puts it himself in his most recent book: “I've been very lucky in my life, something which I certainly did not earn.” This sentiment is consistent with his view that we lack free will entirely, and in today's episode, Professor Sapolsky is going to make his argument to Hala as to why that is indeed the case. Robert Sapolsky is a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, who is an expert in several fields ranging from stress to baboon behavior to human evolution. His work has received many awards including the esteemed MacArthur Fellowship. He is also the best-selling author of several books including Behave, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, and The Trouble with Testosterone. His newest book is called Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. In this episode, Hala and Robert will discuss: - Why free will doesn't exist - The epiphany he had as a 14-year-old - Is meritocracy an illusion? - The neuroscience of decision-making - The myth of grit - What predetermination means for entrepreneurs - Why Jeff Bezos was born to create Amazon - Does spontaneity exist? - How no free will impacts our morality - The science behind moral disgust - Why you can't reason someone out of an opinion - Why we should overhaul the criminal justice system - And other topics… Robert Sapolsky is a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University and a research associate with the Institute of Primate Research at the National Museum of Kenya. Over the past thirty years, he has divided his time between the lab, where he studies how stress hormones can damage the brain, and in East Africa, where he studies the impact of chronic stress on the health of baboons. Sapolsky is the author of Behave, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, A Primate's Memoir, and The Trouble with Testosterone, and is a regular contributor to Discover. He has published articles about stress and health in magazines as diverse as Men's Health and The New Yorker. Sapolsky received the MacArthur Foundation's “genius” grant at age 30.

In episode #35, legendary professor and author Robert M. Sapolsky joins the show for a fascinating conversation about his most recent book: Determined. At length we discuss what life looks like when we accept the premise of Determined: free will is a myth and rewarding and punishing behavior is an outdated approach to running a humane and just world. Along the way we get into strange and groovy notions like Emergent Complexity, Chaoticism (a.k.a. The Butterfly Effect), the prefrontal cortex, and my personal passion, stress. With abundant erudition and mirth, Dr. Sapolsky makes the case several time over that a separate self with a free will apart from the biologic matrix is simply untenable. Along the way, Robert walks us through the arguments which support Determinism, starting with our inability to perceive our intentions and then showing us how brain neurons, slime molds, and ants operate without a blueprint. Overall, we get a persuasive portrait of how and why the seamless web of biology and environment have an unseen hand in how we act and think.Best to get your thinking cap out and put it on, because this show puts all of our assumptions about how humans work on the surgical table. Whether they survive the rigor of a sage professor's operations is the question we're left with. I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did!About Robert M. Sapolsky: Dr. Sapolsky is the author of several works of nonfiction, including A Primate's Memoir, The Trouble with Testosterone, and Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers.

Mood: validating, personal development, reflective, fun What do you want to be when you ‘grow up'? Here's a fun concept: you don't have to just be one thing your whole life. Your style may change, your preferences may change, your appearance may change, your interests and passions and hobbies and careers… you get it. You have your own ERAS. Different life chapters. Seasons. You can live a dynamic life! As Oscar Wilde once said, “If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.” Confidence and Mindset Coach Jenny Gaither, Creator of Brave Babe Glow Up, joins us for a chat about our personal evolution, our personal “Eras Tour.” What era are you in? Are you leveling up, glowing up, evolving? Jenny tells us, “life is a progressive glow up.” And if you're ready for a new era, a new glow up, a personal evolution… whether you're quitting your job, leaving a relationship, moving to a new country, or simply cutting your hair or changing your clothes… let us (Jenny) help! She walks us through the “anatomy of a glow up” and a Glow Up 101 (take notes!). Get ready for your best era yet… and a validating chat about not knowing what you want to be for the rest of your life (it's a good thing, we promise).
My guest today is one of my teachers and mentors, Clinical Nutritionist and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Tom Malterre.Tom Malterre has been involved in nutritional sciences since he was a 10 year old. Since then, he has attained 2 nutritional science degrees, educated health care practitioners around the world on Functional Medicine and nutritional biochemistry, written the best-selling "The Elimination Diet" book, and has worked for some of the most prestigious supplement and lab companies in the Functional Medicine community. Through his work experience as an educator and his 18+ years in clinical practice, Tom has been exposed to nutrient and genetic analysis testing results of both his clients and the doctors and healthcare practitioners he instructs. As a result, Tom has gathered unique insights into the actual chemistry behind multiple diseases and health conditions. He has applied these findings to the field of migraines and is now helping hundreds of migraine sufferers find relief through his new program called The Migraine Relief Method™.In this episode I talk with Tom about the difference between severe headaches and migraines, common causes and treatments for migraines, and the dangers of using acetaminophen for pain relief. We also dive into the lifestyle and nutrition interventions you can use to combat migraines, including addressing food intolerances and nutrient deficiencies.

His latest book is called Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will.In this episode, I talk to Robert Sapolsky about life without free will. Humans like the idea of having control over their lives, but Robert asserts that free will is just an illusion. Life beyond free will may sound unpleasant, but Robert explains the profound consequences of this belief in reforming the justice system, meritocracy, and education. We also touch on the topics of philosophy, quantum physics, mindfulness, grit, and responsibility.LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/robertsapolsky/ Topics02:38 Robert's background and upbringing05:43 Life without free will13:16 Believing in free will24:05 Responsibility and punishment33:14 The future cannot be determined43:45 Mindfulness - a form of free will?48:37 The human experience53:41 Abolish the justice system and meritocracy1:04:03 Statistical guilt1:07:21 Effort, grit and taking credit1:16:40 Nobody is more “worthy” 1:23:29 Life is worth living

Physical pain is a universal human experience. And for many of us, it's a constant one. Roughly 20 percent of American adults — some 50 million people — suffer from a form of chronic pain. For some, that means having terrible days from time to time. For others, it means a life of constant suffering. Either way, the depth and scale of pain in our society is a massive problem.But what if much of how we understand pain — and how to treat it — is wrong?Rachel Zoffness is a pain psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine and the author of “The Pain Management Workbook.” We tend to think of pain as a purely biomechanical phenomenon, a physical sensation rooted solely in the body. But her core argument is that pain is also produced by the mind and deeply influenced by social context. It's a simple-sounding argument with vast implications not only for how we experience pain but also for how we treat it. She points to numerous underused tools — aside from pills and surgeries — that can help lessen our pain.We discuss Zoffness's surprising definition of how pain serves as “the body's warning signal”; how our mood, stress levels and social environment can amplify or dial down our pain levels; what phantom limb syndrome says about how the brain “makes pain”; how our emotions and trauma influence our pain levels; the crucial difference between “hurt” and “harm”; why studies on back pain have yielded such bewildering results about the sources of perceived pain; how to figure out and improve your personal “pain recipe”; the roots of our chronic pain crisis and how our health care system could be better set up to treat it; why she says, “If the brain can change, pain can change”; and more.Mentioned:“Neuroimaging of Pain” by Katherine T.
