Dr. Shouhed is also Medical Director of the Bariatric Surgery and Metabolic Weight Loss Center, Providence Saint John's Hospital.  Our focus today is really about the vascularabdominal syndromes that we can see so prevalent in connective tissue disorders & complex conditions. Please get us started with a description of the anatomy of the abdomen, including the GI organs, but also the ligaments &connective tissue that holds these organs in place and the vasculature that feeds them oxygen & carries away metabolic wastes.     Now, let's get into the syndromes that we wantto focus on today & we're going from the top down because that's how they might be unlocked, meaning closest to the heart to the most distant to the heart and in the pelvis, that's from chest to pelvis direction.     a. MALS: median arcuate ligament syndromeb. SMAS: superior mesenteric artery syndrome(duodenal comp) (meat?)c. Nutcracker: renal vein compressiond. May Thurner: iliac vein compressione. Pelvic congestion syndromes including pelvicvenous insufficiency, vaginal/ labial varices  For each we talk about: a. Symptomsb. Evaluation c. Treatment: ancillary tx? Visceral manipulation? What would a patient look for in a provider? Whois doing this care? How easy/ common are folks doing these treatments? Howoften can or do treatments go wrong? We end with discussing: where is research going with this?

Today's podcast features Eric Guthrie, Director of Strength and Conditioning at George Washington University. Eric has over a decade of experience in sports performance, working with a wide range of sports. He currently works directly with lacrosse and gymnastics. A graduate of the University of Iowa with a degree in Health & Human Physiology, Eric was a standout punter for the Hawkeyes, where he served as a permanent team captain and even earned an opportunity with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Play-based training is on the rise in athletic development, and for good reason. It is a primal and effective way to deliver, not only a high level of stimulation and salience (attention) to the session but also to create memorable and joyful experiences for the individual. The key with any tool is to understand how to use it in context, achieving a balanced and effective use. On today's episode, Eric digs into his keys in building movement challenges for athletes, using play for conditioning and movement qualities, and facilitating a program that continually scales into an athlete's growing needs. He goes in-depth on how he chooses the degree of play and variability in a program, and how to build training with all parties in mind, sport coach, strength coach, and athlete. We also dig into some awesome mind, body, and environmental factors in training, conditioning, and performance. This was a practical and insightful podcast on one of the most powerful existing tools in athletic performance, the power of play.

How can you fit that in without them really realizing it? They're probably expecting a certain thing when they come in. We're gonna lift weights, we're gonna run. Toes on the line, this certain level of discipline. Quote, unquote discipline, which I think is sometimes overdone, but sometimes you need to have that starting out. And then can you build towards the more open and free” (17:32) "If you love it, then you'll want to come. You'll become obsessed with it and you'll come back and you'll give great effort and then the results will follow." (36:33) "We've had those discussions as a staff too. It's like what? What is our role? Is it this one to five years of performance drive that as high as you can or is it like lifelong lessons or skills." (39:20) “Wheelbarrow walk. You're getting way better than just holding a plank for two minutes. Getting the engagement and dynamic, you know, repetition without repetition” (44:00) “(For a more play-based conditioning approach) We had a more veteran team so I think they had a bigger base of play, sport practice, and sport play under them. So a younger team might need more of that base building for lack of a better term...

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Matt Hubbard to discuss the sport of handball and the considerations he addresses as the PT for US Handball. Matt Hubbard's bio: I have been practicing physical therapy since 2011. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be in healthcare, but my journey to physical therapy wasn't straightforward. I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a BS in Human Physiology and MS in Health & Human Performance. I worked in cardiac rehab as an exercise physiologist straight out of school. This allowed me to expand my patient care and really get comfortable working with people and helping them achieve more than they thought possible. While this job was rewarding, it wasn't my end goal. I started looking for more challenge and autonomy and revisited physical therapy. I had gone through my own PT in college after wrist surgery. While I admittedly wasn't the best patient, my PT was amazing and helped me regain the ability to play basketball. Once I started looking into it again, I knew this is where I wanted to be. I graduated from the University of Southern California, the highest rated PT school in the country, with my Doctor of Physical Therapy. When I graduated I did a sports residency at the University of Cincinnati where I worked with all varsity athletes, students, and faculty. I also traveled with the football and track & field teams. Since moving back to Dallas I have obtained advanced certification in dry needling and had the opportunity to further my skills in a busy outpatient clinic. I was able to see a wide range of patients from kids to older adults and had the opportunity to work with collegiate & professional athletes from several teams and several sports including the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks. I left this setting because I grew tired of having to see multiple people at once and felt I was not able to give the best quality of care I was capable of. Now I can concentrate on only 1 patient at a time, you, to make sure you are getting the best care possible. Also, I currently work with SMU athletics helping to care for their student athletes. I have found my passion and I'm ready to help you continue to pursue yours.When I'm not in the clinic I enjoy spending time with my 2 young girls, cooking, playing golf and volleyball, and generally staying active.

Seg 1: Would humans need to alter their DNA to settle in space? There are severe environmental challenges, such as radiation and food sourcing, that complicate humans exploring, and one day settling, in space. Now, some thinkers advocate for genome editing to help humans tolerate these conditions. Guest: Sam McKee, Associate Tutor and PhD Candidate in the Philosophy of Science at Manchester Metropolitan University Seg 2: Scott's Thoughts: How much of your lotto winnings would you share? Guest: Scott Shantz, Contributor for Mornings with Simi Seg 3: View from Victoria: Following another MLA crossing in Provincial politics, John Rustad is holding a news conference today, and he won't welcome crossings where his party has already nominated candidates. Guest: Vaughn Palmer, Vancouver Sun Columnist Seg 4: When does technology constitute cheating? At what point does pushing the limit actually cross the line? Guest: Mike Hahn, Professor of Human Physiology at University of Oregon Seg 5: Why the Paris Olympics are a cautionary tale for Canada Governments frequently argue that hosting the Olympics boosts the local food, beverage, hospitality, and tourism industries both during and after the event. They claim the increased global exposure from hosting will benefit these industries for years. But security concerns, climate events, protests, and unforeseen issues add to the costs. All levels of government must ensure the event runs smoothly, bearing the costs of any overruns or unexpected expenses. The situation in Canada mirrors this. Toronto's estimated costs for hosting the World Cup have skyrocketed from $30-$45 million to $380 million. Vancouver's costs have similarly increased from $230 million to $580 million, with further increases likely as the event approaches.  Guest: Moshe Lander, Sports Economist and Senior Lecturer at Concordia University Seg 6: Why does BC target hitmen and not those who order the hits? Francois Gauthier, after killing Harpreet Dhaliwal, was found with an arsenal of incriminating items in his Airbnb. His guilty plea to second-degree murder revealed no details about who hired him or the motive. Similar cases in Vancouver show a pattern where hitmen are convicted without identifying the masterminds behind the hits, which critics say allows high-level organized criminals to operate with impunity. Guest: Kim Bolan, Crime Reporter for the Vancouver Sun Seg 7: Why is Canada condemning the Venezuela election? Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has remained in power following a highly contested election on July 28. Despite polls suggesting an opposition victory, the government-controlled electoral council declared Maduro the winner with 51.2% of the vote, while opposition candidate Edmundo González received 44.2%. The international community has expressed skepticism about the results, with several countries, including Canada, the US, Chile, and Peru questioning the legitimacy of the election.

Welcome to Episode 22 of "Optimal - the Podcast," where we delve into the facets of health that truly make a difference. In this insightful episode, we're honored to host Lindsay Goddard to discuss the Organic Acids Test from Mosaic Diagnostic, formerly Great Plains Laboratory. Lindsay Goddard is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian (RD, LD/N), with a Master's in Nutrition, and a Bachelor's in Biology with a concentration in Human Physiology and Ecology. She has additional training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition and is currently finishing a Graduate Certificate in Toxicology from the University of South Florida. Lindsay began her career as a dietitian by working in one of the largest hospitals in Florida specializing in recovery nutrition, and critical care. She went on to serve in University-based outpatient clinics with concentrations in gastroenterology, genetics, and oncology. She followed with working in the NICU and Pediatrics in a level II facility until she began educating and advising on functional medicine testing. She has spoken on various platforms nationally, and internationally, on metabolomics, immunology, and toxicology, educating providers on its relevance and utility. She now serves as a Medical Science Liaison on Fullscript's Integrative Medical Advisory team along with running a successful private practice where she specializes in pediatrics, and GI disorders as well as working in a physiatry clinic focusing on nutrition management for brain and spinal cord injuries. During our conversation, Lindsay sheds light on the Organic Acid Test (OAT) and its critical role in achieving optimal health. OAT is a sophisticated laboratory analysis that scrutinizes cellular metabolic waste to identify nutrient deficiencies, signs of inflammation, toxic exposures, and microbial imbalances. Lindsay elaborates on how organic acids, the metabolic byproducts from humans, bacteria, and fungi, are integral to understanding our body's metabolic processes. The OAT offers a window into the body's use of nutrients and exposes metabolic functions that might be contributing to health issues, aiming to pinpoint deficiencies, inflammatory processes, toxicity, and dysbiosis. Further exploring the practical applications of OAT, Lindsay discusses the frequency of testing in relation to specific deficiencies and how it complements other tests, such as CBC, CMP, and stool analyses. She also delves into the assessment of oxidative stress and detoxification markers, and the examination of intestinal microbial overgrowth, breaking it down to its yeast, fungal, and bacterial constituents. A fascinating part of our discussion highlights the relationship between clostridia bacterial markers and dopamine regulation, suggesting possible psychiatric implications. Lindsay doesn't shy away from complex topics such as cellular turnover, DNA synthesis, folate metabolism, ketone levels as an indication of blood sugar regulation, and the nuances of fatty acid oxidation—vital considerations for those on low-carb diets and how these reflect on carnitine and riboflavin requirements, as well as pattern recognition. Beyond individual biomarkers, Lindsay emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition in the understanding of human physiology and metabolism. She also clarifies how creatinine levels are used to normalize metabolic markers in urine samples. Addressing deficiencies, she underlines the role of a balanced diet and effective stress management in maintaining one's health. Join us to uncover the vital insights and practical applications of the Organic Acid Test and empower yourself with the knowledge to understand and address bodily deficiencies for improved health. Episode Highlights: (00:52) Introduction of Lindsay Goddard (6:02) Definition of Organic Acid Test (8:07) Explains how Organic Acid Test work and the suggested time gap of re-testing (11:31) Other laboratory procedures that needed to justify the results of OAT and what categories can be seen in the result (24:16) How to determine what kind of follow-up test a patient would need (37:14) How to explain OAT results, importance of clinical history and retesting, and OAT practice (47:22) Explains how to utilize OAT by medical practitioners and Awareness on the importance of the test (51:52) Importance of spreading awareness about the OAT and educating practitioners Where to Reach Dr. Dicken Weatherby Dicken Weatherby LinkedIn Optimal DX Resource Center Optimal DX Blog Where to Reach Lindsay Goddard Lindsay Goddard LinkedIn Lindsay's Website Where to Reach Beth Ellen DiLuglio Nutrition Mission Beth Ellen DiLuglio LinkedIn  Did you find today's episode helpful?

Eclipses, be they solar or lunar, have always captivated human beings with their celestial splendor. From ancient myths and superstitions to modern-day scientific inquiries, eclipses have always been enveloped in an aura of mystery and intrigue. This blog post endeavors to explore the fascinating intersection between eclipses, human physiology, and evolution, delving into how these spectacular celestial events might have shaped our ancestors and potentially continue to influence us today.     Section 1: Eclipses Through the Ages A. Ancestral Beliefs and Practices Historically, eclipses were often regarded with awe and fear, perceived as omens or divine interventions. Different cultures developed various myths and rituals to explain or mitigate the perceived dangers of these celestial phenomena. B. Scientific Understanding With the advent of scientific understanding, we've come to know that eclipses are merely the result of the celestial alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, causing one to obstruct the light of the other. Despite our advanced understanding, the fascination with these events remains undiminished.     Section 2: Eclipses and Human Physiology A. Psychological Effects Eclipses can invoke a range of psychological responses, from awe and wonder to fear and anxiety. The sudden darkening of the sky during a solar eclipse, especially, can stir profound emotions and psychological effects. B. Biological Clocks Humans, like all organisms, have biological clocks (circadian rhythms) that are tuned to the regular cycles of light and dark on our planet. The sudden darkness during a solar eclipse can momentarily disrupt these rhythms, although the long-term impacts, if any, remain largely speculative. C. Vision and Eye Health Looking directly at a solar eclipse without proper protection can cause serious eye damage, a condition known as solar retinopathy. This underscores the importance of using appropriate viewing equipment and techniques during these events.     Section 3: Eclipses and Human Evolution A. Evolutionary Impact While it's tempting to speculate that eclipses might have played a role in human evolution, there is currently no scientific evidence to support this. However, they may have influenced human culture, beliefs, and practices, which in turn might have had indirect effects on social and evolutionary development. B. Cultural and Social Evolution The recurrent theme of eclipses in myths, legends, and historical events across various cultures points to their significant impact on our collective imaginations and cultural narratives. Eclipses might have shaped social structures, belief systems, and rituals, thereby influencing our cultural and social evolution.     Section 4: Eclipses, Physiology, and Future Research A. The Need for Further Research Understanding the full spectrum of influences that eclipses might exert on human physiology and psychology demands further research, particularly in the realm of long-term and indirect impacts. B. Exploring New Horizons Research into the effects of eclipses on human physiology could potentially open new horizons in our understanding of human biology, particularly in relation to how our bodies respond to unexpected changes in environmental light conditions.     Conclusion Eclipses, both solar and lunar, have played a pivotal role in shaping human history, culture, and possibly even our evolutionary trajectory. The interplay between these celestial events and human physiology is a rich field ripe for exploration, offering potential insights into our past, present, and future as a species.

Welcome to another deep exploration of the mysterious and amazing wonders of the human body with holistic general medicine practitioner, Dr. Tom Cowan. This episode will shed light on the little-known fourth phase of water - the structured or coherent phase. We discuss why this phase is vital for proper hydration and overall health. Dr. Cowan also enlightens us on how mainstream science often falls short in understanding the true complexity of human physiology.The conversation bravely ventures into the intriguing topic of how our bodies use structured water in its fight against disease. Dr. Cowan explains how measuring the bond angles of water could potentially detect cancer, and how an orthopedic doctor can diagnose osteoarthritis. We tackle the often-misunderstood purpose of fever, learning how it reconstitutes a better gel, devoid of the toxins causing the illness. We also dare to question the mainstream narrative around suppressing the body's natural healing process, confronting the dangers of accumulating toxins and microbes that can lead to severe illnesses like cancer.As we near the end of this enlightening episode, we discuss the role of light in assessing the quality of a living organism. Dr. Cowan helps us understand why healthier organisms emit a higher intensity and more diverse range of wavelengths. We also cover how we can use light measurements to reveal the quality of a living organism, without any invasive measures. We end this enlightening journey by tying our knowledge of the quality of living organisms to making better decisions about the food we consume. Come with us on this fascinating journey of health, water, and light.To learn more about this amazing information and find services and supplements from Dr. Cowan, visit drtomcowan.com or drcowansgarden.com. To learn more about holistic dentistry, check out Dr. Carver's patient education page:http://carverfamilydentistry.comTo contact Dr. Carver directly, email her at drcarver@carverfamilydentistry.com. Want to talk with someone at Dr. Carver's office?  Call her practice: 413-663-7372Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

Show Notes: Mark Wilson is a history professor at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte and author of several books on American business and the winning of World War Two, the business of Civil War, military mobilization, and the state and the military and the market. Mark talks about his journey since Harvard which includes teaching English in Japan, his PhD in history in Chicago and meeting his wife, the last two decades in Charlotte with his wife and two teenage boys, and writing his books.  Mark was finishing up his senior thesis and his last season on the Ultimate Frisbee team when he was nominated for a Harvard-run fellowship which allowed him to teach in the UK but the position didn't come through, and, with the poor job market, he was unable to find suitable employment and didn't know what to do, until he and his friend Ernie Chung  decided to go on a cross-country road trip in the US in his parents Honda Accord. They visited some friends, and explored national parks like Glacier and the Grand Canyon, and while on the trip, he received news that a potential job opportunity had opened up. Mark was offered a job to teach English in Japan and he decided to take the opportunity. During his time in Japan, he taught a variety of people from children to factory workers, doctors and fighter pilots and he traveled throughout the country. He also took a trip to Beijing in 1993, which was just before China shifted to fiber optics and leaped forward as a global economy. It was much different to China now.  He also saw a different side of Japan, which included some of the grittier parts of the country, as well as the typically polite and quiet people. Mark's fondest memories include being invited to join his students on weekend outings.  Stories about the Business of Civil War While in Japan, he applied to several grad schools and was accepted into the University of Chicago where they had a Phd. History program where he specialized in the History of the United States and completed his Phd dissertation project, The Business of Civil War. He wrote about how the North supplied its armies during the Civil War and focused on the business/political history of that economic mobilization project. During his research, he found records from correspondence records and court martial case files, which proved an interesting source of information. The Civil War and Industrialization Mark pointed out that there is a big debate among historians about the long-term economic impact of the Civil War on industrialization. His 300-page book on the subject offers insights into how the Civil War affected American business. The consensus among economic historians is that the US Civil War had very limited or even a negative impact on the country's industrialization. This is contrary to the popular notion that it stimulated industrial growth. Evidence for the limited impact of the war can be seen in the decisions of the North's top contractor, John Martin, who invested his wartime fortune in high-end European paintings rather than advancing technology. However, the author of a book on the war economy argues that the army's quartermasters should be recognized as among the greatest business leaders of the 19th century because of their massive acquisition efforts and logistics networks such as supply chain management difficulties. He talks about how the military set up army-run factories rather than going through the private sector but to meet demand they had to turn to the private sector. However, he believes that the public sector was as influential in the rise of big business as the private sector. Teaching History They left Chicago when his wife was offered a post at Cornell, and Mark started teaching part-time while he finished his dissertation. They moved to Charlotte in North Carolina where Mark was offered a position as an assistant professor.   In 2004, he went back to Harvard for a year where he got a postdoctoral. He finished his manuscript and started his second book on World War Two while teaching history. He teaches thematically organized courses, including the History of Democracy in the US or the Military Industrial Complex, or the History of Charlotte.  Mark discusses his book, Destructive Creation, which focuses on the business side of the story of the military industrial mobilization in World War II. He used archives from companies like Ford Motor Company, Boeing, and Du Pont, as well as records from civilian mobilization agencies and the military acquisition people in the services.  Mark's book offers the best book-length account of the big military industrial mobilization of WW2, but also about business's political and PR efforts during the war. The Business Community and Industrial Military Complex During the war, the business community worked hard to produce the necessary munitions and also waged a battle to win the public relations battle over who deserved the credit for the successful output of war supplies. This was an anti-New Deal political effort, as the business leaders were suspicious of the growth of government that occurred during the New Deal and World War II. He wrote not only about the machinations of production, but also  the cultural and political interpretations.  He talks about how the US government had to pay for the plants and tools needed as the private sector didn't have the incentive to build them. He also mentioned how the military was involved in the supply chain, and how the government set up new factories and plants to supply the military and then brought in private companies to manage them.  He mentions how surprised he is that some of his book's readers have been the Green New Deal crowd and those interested in the COVID-19 pandemic, as they look for ways to mobilize industrial production. He  believes the US defense sector has become more privatized and driven by short-term financial goals, which may lead to shortages and fragility. Mark shares his thoughts on the industrial military complex which he explores in his new book. He mentions how he's not surprised that there are shortages of munitions or other problems because of the ways the defense sector has changed in the last few decades, mainly, the fact that the U.S. defense sector has become more privatized and driven by short-term financial concerns.  Mark mentions influences from courses and professors at Harvard, including the course Human Physiology, and the instructors in the History and Literature program Dan Terrace and Steve Biel.

On today's ID the Future, Your Designed Body co-author and systems engineer Steve Laufmann continues his conversation with host and neurosurgeon Michael Egnor. In this episode, Laufmann reviews four causal factors involved in Darwin's theory of evolution, and explains why they lack the power to generate life's great variety of forms. To dive deeper into his argument, check out Laufmann's new book co-authored with physician Howard Glicksman. Source

On today's ID the Future, neurosurgeon Michael Egnor hosts systems engineer Steve Laufmann, author with physician Howard Glicksman of the new book Your Designed Body. Egnor makes the surprising confession that his medical library is full of engineering texts because at some point he discovered that engineering texts, and engineering principles, often shed more light on human physiology than did his physiology books. Egnor, then, is extraordinarily well prepared to interview Laufmann about the amazing engineering of the human body. Tune in for Part 1, and stay tuned for Parts 2 and 3. Source
