Podcasts about Heredity

Heredity is a splendid phenomenon that relieves us of responsibility for our shortcomings.  Hereditary is what sets the parents of a teenager wondering about each other.Heredity: The passing on a physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Tom Cowan for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation that challenges many foundational beliefs in modern science and medicine. Through out the episode, Dr. Cowan cleverly gives many examples on the flaws in genetic theory, quantum physics, virology, cell biology, etc. We begin with the simple question: What is health?, and get the most unique answer yet! From there, dive deep into the flaws and limitations of scientific methodology as it's practiced today.Dr. Cowan exposes the rise of make-believe science, where theories are built without grounding in observable reality. We explore whether we can truly know the truth, and weather it is worth thinking about.We also explore deeply human questions—What do we tell our kids? How do we raise them in a world built on unstable paradigms? Dr. Cowan emphasizes responsibility in health and life, the power of self-fulfilling prophecies, and how the narratives we operate in affect us.The conversation takes on big themes like heritable illness, the ongoing nature vs. nurture debate, and the importance of detaching from outcomes when seeking truth. We wrap up by revisiting major problems in science and diving into the misunderstood concepts of the immune system and antibodies.This episode is both philosophical and practical—an invitation to question, explore, and take ownership of your understanding of health.

This week on Health Matters, Courtney Allison is joined by Dr. Stephanie Rutledge, transplant hepatologist with NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine.They dig into a fascinating connection between the health of the gut microbiome and the health of the liver, by exploring the impacts of drinking alcohol on both. Microbes in the gut are affected by what we eat and drink, and the consequences of drinking alcohol may be more serious than you expect. Dr. Rutledge describes how serious cases may even require a fecal transplant.But there are simple steps you can take to improve the health of your gut microbiome. Dr. Rutledge describes how quickly a dysfunctional microbiome can recover once someone stops drinking, and offers health tips that can improve anyone's liver health. Even just a month of better habits can have big results for the gut microbiome, the liver, and overall health.___Dr. Stephanie Rutledge is a gastroenterologist and transplant hepatologist with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it! In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan presents a controversial perspective on DNA, challenging conventional beliefs and examining the evidence—or lack thereof—behind the science of genetics. Known for his holistic approach and thought-provoking views, Dr. Cowan takes us through the origins of DNA research, where foundational assumptions may have led to misconceptions in biology and health science. He also critiques the scientific methods used in DNA studies, questioning whether DNA is a scientifically proven reality or more of a belief system. Key Topics Covered: Origins and Assumptions of DNA Science: The early studies on DNA and the assumptions that led to widely accepted beliefs, including the double-helix structure. The DNA Belief System: Why Dr. Cowan argues that DNA's existence is more a belief than a scientifically backed fact, with measurements and microscopy not aligning with conclusions about genetic coding. Debunking the Double-Helix Myth: Dr. Cowan discusses why the original findings didn't confirm a double-helix structure and how they might have been misinterpreted. Gene Coding Myths: An analysis of studies on gene-protein coding, challenging the claim that genes directly code for proteins. Scientific Contradictions and Missing Evidence: Common contradictions in mainstream genetic science and why they may not make sense from a holistic health perspective. About Dr. Tom Cowan: Dr. Tom Cowan is an alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker, with a focus on holistic health. He is vice president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and has authored several books, including The Contagion Myth and Cancer and the New Biology of Water. His work emphasizes natural health principles, empowering individuals to seek wellness beyond conventional methods.

A season finale is upon us. A lot remains to be said about Lysenko, epigenetics and that original cliffhanger regarding Darwins repressed theory of pangenesis. Not all has been said about Kruschev and the nuclear-bomb-corn of American Big Ag during the creation of the first truly global market of grain speculation, all has not been said about x-ray Mullers letter to Stalin that kickstarted the purge of the natural sciences or how Huxley got him into the soviet union and how they helped exiling Serebrovsky's deserter students to take part in radiation sterilisation experiments in Nazi Germany. Not much has been said about Lysenko's teachers themselves, Michurin and Timiryazev who, though already seniors when the winter palace was stormed, nonetheless gladly supported the communist reorganisation of their scientific fields.  We have yet to explore the great around-the-world adventures of Vavilov which debunked the biblical idea of a single origin of civilization, have not yet in detail told the story of Himmler's SS-biopiracy operations. During which it was not Vavilovs international Rockefeller “colleague” who defended his seed banks in Leningrad, but Lysenkoites who starved to death on their post to protect the work and legacy of a man whom western historians are telling us they saw as an enemy to be eradicated. There is a lot left to be talked about dear listener, but to really get there, we will begin today with something which our Marxist-Botanist Allan G. Morton has stated was and is “In fact, after all, the central problem of genetics, the explanation of Ontogeny.” This is a story of genetic fluidity and shaken heredity, the material dialectic critique of DNA-essentialism.

We're in the age of big data, but there remain several hurdles to integrating genomics into conservation science. We hear about these issues from Prof Cock Van Oosterhout, and discuss the potential solutions he outlined in his recent perspectives article for Heredity. Hosted on Acast.

Today, we're diving into a fascinating topic: how generational trauma affects our epigenetics, and the profound impact stress has on our bodies.  Generational trauma, a term that's gaining more recognition, refers to the emotional and psychological impacts of traumatic experiences that are not just lived by one generation but are passed down through the next.   This isn't merely psychological; it's embedded in our very biology, in our epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of how our behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way our genes work. Interestingly, these changes do not alter our DNA sequence but can change how our body reads a DNA sequence.  Research has shown that the stressors our ancestors faced, the hardships, and the emotional turmoil, can leave a mark on our genes, influencing our health risks, stress responses, and even our behaviors.   This understanding tells us that our family's past trauma may play a role in our own health story, including our journey with conditions like breast cancer.  The good news is that awareness is the first step towards healing.   By acknowledging the roots of our stress and understanding its biological basis, we can begin to heal not just our minds but our bodies.   In this episode, we'll explore strategies for recognizing signs of generational trauma, methods to address and heal these deep-seated issues, and how we can alter our epigenetic expressions for better health. Our bodies may carry the stories of our past, but they also hold the potential for healing. Together, let's embark on this healing journey, transforming the legacy we pass on to the next generation.  Referred to in this episode:  Ways to work with Laura  Studies: Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: Prevalence, Mechanisms, and Implications for the Study of Heredity and Evolution  Stress during pregnancy and epigenetic modifications to offspring DNA: A systematic review of associations and implications for preterm birth  Paternal Stress Exposure Alters Sperm MicroRNA Content and Reprograms Offspring HPA Stress Axis Regulation  Follow me on Social Media:  Facebook  Instagram  Pinterest  YouTube 

What's up everyone! Today's episode was just a little bit of Tuesday inspiration on parenthood, and how much we have the power to break cycles and patterns and parenting that I've been handed down to us with regards to boys and men and our emotional health or lack of emotional health. I think that it's important for us as dad‘s to look at how we can strengthen our emotional health so that we can show that and model that for our kids, and then they can intern hopefully be stronger in this as well. In this episode I referenced a book called:  “Raising Cain.  Protecting the emotional life of boys”.  It's a wonderful book and you can get it here: Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys https://a.co/d/bG612Oi Thanks for listening and all y'all's continued support.  Please don't forget to write and review!

There is one word in the English language that has more meanings than any other. A lot more! And the word is only 3 letters long. I begin this episode by revealing which word it is – and there is a good chance you have said the word multiple times today. https://www.rd.com/article/most-complicated-word-in-english/ Can you really inherit your mother's laugh or your father's temper? It is a little confusing because some traits you can inherit genetically, but other traits you get from them may just be because you grew up in the same house. Height is something genetically passed down – still not all tall parents have tall children, so how does that work? Heredity is often misunderstood and there is a lot about heredity we just don't know. Here to explain this fascinating topic so it all makes sense is Carl Zimmer. Carl writes for The New York Times and is author of the book, She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions and Potential of Heredity (https://amzn.to/2IG8KKR). Does anyone know who made the first cellphone call? Not only do we know, we have him here as a guest and you are about to meet him. Martin Cooper is considered the father of the cellphone. He helped to develop the whole basis for cellular technology when he worked at Motorola and did in fact place the very first cellphone call. Martin joins me to recall the early days of the cellphone and has some great terrific insight on the future of cellular technology. Martin is the author of the book Cutting the Cord: The Cell Phone Has Transformed Humanity (https://amzn.to/38aXwIV). Sneakers or tennis shoes are the footwear of choice for many of us. So where did they come from? Interestingly, it took quite a while for them to cross over from the world of sports to everyday casual wear .

In episode 11 of The DNA Papers we revisit a paper describing a famous experiment performed by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase which combined the atomic-age tools of radioisotopes with an ordinary kitchen blender to show that DNA alone, and not protein, was the carrier of hereditary information: Hershey, Alfred D., and Martha Chase. “Independent Functions of Viral Protein and Nucleic Acid in Growth of Bacteriophage.” The Journal of General Physiology 36, no. 1 (1952): 39–56. By using radioisotopes to separately label the DNA and protein components of a bacterial virus and demonstrating DNA's central role in the earliest stages of viral replication inside a bacterial cell, Hershey and Chase's 1952 paper provided powerful evidence about the chemical nature of the gene, and gained a well-deserved place among the classics in the history of DNA science. Here to share their ideas and opinions about the history and significance of this paper are: Angela Creager, Princeton University Geoffrey Montgomery, Independent Science Writer William Summers, Yale University See also a collection of Resources.

Thyroiditis is when your thyroid gland becomes irritated. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common type of this health problem. It is an autoimmune disease. It occurs when your body makes antibodies that attack the cells in your thyroid. The thyroid then can't make enough of the thyroid hormone. Many people with this problem have an underactive thyroid gland. That's also known as hypothyroidism ("low thyroid") and affected people will need to take medicine to keep their thyroid hormone levels normal.Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder. Normally, your autoimmune system protects your body by attacking bacteria and viruses and with this disease, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland by mistake. Your thyroid then can't make enough thyroid hormone, so your body can't work as well.Things that may make it more likely to you for to get Hashimoto's thyroiditis are:Being a woman. Women are about 7 times more likely to have the disease. Hashimoto's thyroiditis sometimes begins during pregnancy.Middle age. Most cases happen between 40 to 60 years of age. But it has been seen in younger people.Heredity. The disease tends to run in families. But no gene has been found that carries it.Autoimmune diseases. These health problems raise a person's risk. Some examples are rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. Having this type of thyroiditis puts you at higher risk for other autoimmune illnesses.About Our Guest:Dr. Stone was diagnosed with low thyroid and Hashimoto's disease. No one could help her so she became a doctor and figured it out on her own. She used this challenge to build her thyroid transformation blueprint that is now the foundation of her very successful clinical practice.With over two decades of clinical experience and a reputation as one of the world's leading practitioners. Dr. Stone has dedicated her life's work to transformation the lives of thousands of women. She has a remarkable talent for unraveling the mysteries surrounding hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, offering effective solutions that enable women to reclaim their happiness, health, and physical appearance.Resources Mentioned:Thyroid Transformation BlueprintConnect with Dr. Stone:FacebookInstagramWebsiteYouTubeThe hashtag for the podcast is #nourishyourflourish.

If a man has devoted his whole spirit to excellence, sparing neither expense nor toils, it is right to grant the boast of manliness to those who achieve excellence, with an ungrudging mind. ... The highest type of man is the product of a breeding program, and not of an educational program of nomos. The boast of manliness, andreia, is alone granted to such a man; other males are not men, andres, but mere anthropoi, indistinct beings with anthropoid form. ... It is right for a man to follow straight paths, and strive according to his nature. For strength manifests itself in action, and intelligence in counsels, for those who have the inborn skill of foreseeing the future. ... A man with inborn glory has great weight; but he who has only learned is a man in darkness, breathing changeful purposes, never taking an unwavering step, but trying his hand at countless forms of excellence with his ineffectual thought.  ... Nature, the truth about the world and about man, erupts into being, into radiance, or the light of knowledge, from the obscurity of the primordial darkness and forgetfulness in which mortal anthropoi are doomed to live. The coming-about of such a nature, or body, is by physical breeding, and its training is a re-wilding, carried out beyond the walls of the city and of convention.

Odysseus is shipwrecked on the island Phaeakia. He has been stripped of literally everything, including his clothes. The princess Nausicaa is on the beach with her consorts engaged in the age-old renewal and purification ritual of washing and airing out clothes. Odysseus boldly approaches her completely naked; the servants are frightened and run, but he manages, naked and stripped of every outward mark of power and wealth, to reconstruct his kingly status through the power of aristocratic speech and of his bearing. The true measure of the man, his nature, is in all these cases revealed: heredity and blood become apparent in body. Reduced to mere body, to utter destitution, a shipwreck, or, in the case of his father Laertes, to an unkempt tiller of the soil, the blood of a king, and the fact of heredity--the phusis, nature, the truth about a being--reveals itself precisely in this reduction to bare biology.

Hi Everyone! In today's episode we go over some basics of Mendelian inheritance and Hardy-Weinberg population genetics. Hope you enjoy!

The seventh episode of the DNA Papers is the central one in this podcast series, not only because it marks the halfway point of the podcast, but also, more so, because the paper discussed is at the center of the history of all twentieth century biology. Written by a trio of microbiologists at the Rockefeller University in New York City, this paper without saying so in actual words, represents the first publication to offer evidence that DNA (though not yet known by that name) is the stuff that makes up genes: Avery, Oswald T., Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty. “Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III.” The Journal of Experimental Medicine 79, no. 2 (1944): 137–58. Joining the discussion of this historic paper are the following expert commentators: Matthew Cobb, University of Manchester Ute Deichmann, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Geoff Montgomery, Independent Science Writer, New York City Please see https://www.chstm.org/video/144 for additional resources on this topic. Recorded on April 28, 2023.

This week Faith Salie talks with Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl, a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. He's also the Director of Clinical Research at Columbia's Celiac Disease Center, and an expert on the connections between gastrointestinal health and the other systems in our body that rely on good digestion for their function. He describes how GI diseases like Celiac have implications for mental health, and what anyone can do to support their digestive health. Click here for the episode transcript.

My guest is Sara Gottfried, M.D., a Harvard-trained, board-certified gynecologist and clinical assistant professor of integrative medicine & nutritional sciences at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Gottfried specializes in hormone health, vitality and longevity using precision/personalized approaches. We discuss female hormone health, puberty, perimenopause, and menopause, hormone testing, the microbiome, stress related hormone challenges, their causes, and various treatments. We also discuss fertility, birth control and tools for improving microbiome health, treating PCOS, insulin management, and the best nutrition, supplementation, and exercise programs for women. While the episode focuses mainly on female hormones, males will also  benefit from our discussion because it includes  actionable tools suggested for managing stress, bolstering the gut microbiome, and immunity—all of which stand to improve overall health, vitality and longevity in males and females.

Heredity was once thought to be straightforward. Genes were passed in an immutable path from parents to you, and you were stuck – or blessed – with what you got. DNA didn't change.  But now we know that's not true. Epigenetic factors, such as your environment and your lifestyle, control how your genes are expressed. Meanwhile, the powerful tool CRISPR allows us to tinker with the genes themselves. DNA is no longer destiny. Hear the results from the NASA twin study and what happened to astronaut Scott Kelly's DNA after a year on the International Space Station. Plus, whether there's evidence that epigenetic changes can be passed down. And, if we can wipe out deadly malaria by engineering the mosquito genome for sterility, should we do it? Guests: Scott Kelly – Former military test pilot and astronaut and author of “Infinite Wonder” Carl Zimmer – Columnist for The New York Times, author of “She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity" Christopher Mason – Associate professor of genetics and computational biology at Weill Cornell Medicine Michael Snyder – Chair of the genetics department and director of the Center for Genomics and Precision Medicine at Stanford University Nicole Gladish – PhD candidate, department of medical genetics, University of British Columbia Originally aired October 15, 2018 This episode brought to you in part by Hero Wars.

Henry Herbert Goddard's work studying the supposedly degenerate “Kallikak” family made him world famous. In the words of a teacher at the Vineland Training Center, it also made Emma Wolverton, aka Deborah Kallikak, the “World's Best Known Moron.” But the acclaim Goddard achieved for his work faded as psychologists discovered fatal flaws with his research. However, before Goddard's work was dismissed as worthless by the scientific community is was cited as justification for eugenic programs both at home and in Nazi Germany.
