In this episode, Euromonitor International's Nutrition Research Analyst Ekaterina Tretyakova discusses the main trends in the ready meals market. Consumers tend to cook less often but still perceive eating together as an important social occasion, which is driving demand for ready meals. Increased spending on ready meals and their delivery is accelerating the development of new business models, and close collaboration between retailers and foodservice operators. Within this burgeoning category there are clearly emerging trends - health and wellness, sustainability, and the impact of technology – which are also explored in this podcast.

This Flipping 50 Insider question comes from Joy who asks about any difference between post menopause fitness and menopause fitness recommendations. She wrote: I've been following Flipping 50 for some time and enjoy it! One question, do the same rules apply to post menopause (66) as to menopause? Thanks! -Joy The easy, short answer, is yes they do. Menopause fitness rules (we prefer formula, as in After 50 Fitness Formula™) do apply to post menopause fitness. If anything, in post menopause you have a little more latitude and will be supported by: Increased amounts of low-to-moderate activity And you'll also have greater increased urgency in need for: high intensity interval training reaching muscle fatigue adequate protein sleep The reasons for that may or may not be obvious so I don't want to skip over them assuming you've got this. The greatest volatility in hormones occurs during perimenopause for the majority of women. (Though this isn't an “always” rule. It may not apply to you). Because of this, during perimenopause there can be a greater frequency of symptoms including: Fatigue Insomnia Weight gain Bloating Constipation Brain fog As well as others, but these are the most likely to influence exercise negatively So, adding “more” exercise even if it is low-to-moderate exercise during perimenopause could simply add more stress and take you in the opposite direction from your goal. Any “rules” only apply as if you follow a blueprint that you can personalize. You're not following a rigid plan that ignores the data your body gives you. That's simply reverting back to exercise programs designed for everyone. You've never needed exercise intensity more in your life than now. These are key: High intensity interval training Strength training to muscular fatigue Reaction skill types of movement Mobility Low-to-moderate movement Resources: You Still Got It, Girl strength videos, with the option to add Fast Twitch Interval Videos to it Muscles in Minutes strength videos with the option to add Boxing videos and mobility videos to that For being a podcast listener, you can use this code for a limited time to use or share with a friend for 15% off either of these options. 15podcast [not combinable with other specials/not applicable to sale items.

Increased screen use in school, homework load, and lack of time to just play. We have always monitored our son's schooling, but this year, in his transition to middle-school, my husband and I were alarmed at how school was taking over our lives. I'm not trying to convince anyone to homeschool in this episode.  There's important information in this podcast for all parents... homeschoolers, those thinking about homeschool, and those not ever going to homeschool!  I just want you, as a concerned and involved parent, to consider these three factors and objectively assess how school is impacting your family.   Links from this episode: Finding A Balance Between Kids And Device Use “Digital Pacifiers” – Why Screen Use Is Harming, And Ruining Our Relationships With Our Kids Wake Up!

Try theses seven strategies to get the most from your workouts.Hi, I'm registered dietitian nutritionist Dr. Susan Mitchell. You're listening to the Bariatric Surgery Success podcast episode number 74. Most of my career I've worked in some type of media, particularly radio where I did morning drive nutrition spots for over 18 years. That's what lead me to start podcasting and ultimately to you. I created Bariatric Surgery Success to provide you with life-changing information based on science along with simple strategies and tools to help you be successful in your transformation and your entire journey. So happy you've connected with me. You're in the right place and I'm glad you're listening.Have you signed up for the weekly Breaking Down Nutrition newsletter? It's a quick way to find out first what's going on in bariatric nutrition from new freebies, upcoming courses, tips, product discounts and the latest podcast episode. It's super easy to sign up at the bottom of my home page https://www.breakingdownnutrition.com   Let's talk sports nutrition and specifically bariatric sports nutrition which is a very new field of research. I want you to know this up front because there aren't a lot of sports nutrition guidelines if you've had bariatric surgery and are involved in sports and workout. The guidelines currently available can vary a lot between different types of workouts such as endurance/distance running for half marathons and marathons for example, as compared to weight lifting. Since dietitians often specialize in an area of nutrition just like physicians in medicine, bariatric dietitians may or may not be up-to-date on sports nutrition and dietitians who specialize in sports nutrition might not know a lot about bariatric nutrition. Bottom line: Ask your dietitian specific questions about your workouts or sports. They may need to check with their contacts and resources. Read on your own and then ask more questions, and then add in some trial and error. Each of you is different and each of your surgeries and outcomes are too. The type of surgical procedure matters in how you tweak the diet for workouts. For example, a sleeve gastrectomy tends to be easier to adapt to than a Roux-en-Y procedure because it's less invasive which typically means a smaller incision and less tissue trauma during surgery. I'm the kind of person that wants direct, specific answers. Are you? And often, it just doesn't work that way in medicine or nutrition. It does't mean there aren't strategies that work, there are for sure. But it may take you some trials and tweaking to find what works for you. So let's look deeper into what we know now.If you exercise for less than one hour, most likely you can continue with your daily bariatric diet or you may need a few more calories. Where the calories come from, meaning which macros, depends on what your workout is like. If you're an athlete who exercises at higher intensity for longer than one hour at time, there are several things to think about. Remember, you're unique and special so trial and error is the answer to find what foods and fluids you tolerate the best as you work out. Let's look at seven things to consider:Have you heard the term ‘nutrition periodization'? It means that your diet or how much you eat should match the level of your activity. In a less intense workout, typically under an hour, your body will need less total carbs and calories than if you're training longer and at a higher intensity. Your workouts that are lower intensity and less time (again, typically under an hour) usually work well with your normal daily intake or a few more additional calories as I mentioned just a minute ago. If you workout longer (one hour or more) and at a higher intensity, you may need to eat 5-6 smaller meals or snacks rather than 3 meals. These 5-6 smaller meals include both pre and post exercise meals and snacks. The volume of your meals and snacks will depend on your surgery type and personal tolerance as well as your training demand. Keep an eye on your weight so you prevent weight regain from eating more calories than you are burning in your activity. These pre and post workout meals and snacks should include both protein and whole food carbs such as fruit, whole grains or starchy veggie just like you eat when you're not working out. What do you eat first? Your answer has always been protein, right? But here's a potential conflict to think about. If you're lifting weights, that protein first concept works but what if you're walking/running/biking/swimming instead or training for a 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon? You may not get the carbs you need for these types of events and could bonk. What is bonk? You'll know if it happens. It's where you feel a sudden loss of energy and a sudden fatigue which is caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. You don't want this to happen and it's why circling back with your bariatric dietitian to personalize your needs with your specific types of training is so important. You'll need more carbs and may need to eat them first so this is an important discussion to have as it goes against what you're always told to do.Let's call this one food for thought. Intensive exercise is probably smarter after one-two years when your caloric intake can be higher and the macros tweaked. That does't mean you don't exercise. Not at all. The first six months, you're healing and you're just trying to move around more. Then you move on to walking, swimming, etc but the intensive workouts might be better initiated one to two years after your surgical procedure. Have this discussion with your team if you want to work out harder and longer and it's still early in your recovery.If you're down the track and desire to increase your workout, what does a pre workout meal look like? A couple of minutes ago we just talked about the need to include both protein and whole food carbs with the amounts of each based more on the type of workouts you do. Some general examples would be:An egg with 1/2-1 slice of whole grain toastDeli meat wrapped around a low-fat cheese stick and fruitCottage cheese with fruit: berries, grapes or bananaRemember, the protein or carb amount may need to be changed based on the type of exercise you're doing. If you're 3-4 hours out from your workout, a meal fits in fine. As you get closer to the time you plan to workout, reduce the amount of food and if it's only 30 minutes - 1 hours before you get started, continue to hydrate only. Since you should know your event or training days, aim to pre-hydrate a bit more and increase your fluid intake 2-4 cups in the 1-2 days before your hard training or event. Then as usual, sip on fluids all day as well as during your workout. Continue to keep food and fluids separate by 30 or more minutes unless your dietitian has told you differently depending on how far out from surgery you are now. To help you stay hydrated, you can eat foods with a higher fluid/water content such as Greek yogurt, a protein shake, even veggies and fruit which have high water contents. Use your urine color as a way to monitor your hydration. What color should it be? That's right, pale or light yellow. When it's darker, it's sending you the message to consume fluids.Don't forget about dumping syndrome. Remember that if you consume foods high in refined carbohydrates you may experience bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, even low blood pressure or a change in your heart rate. Symptoms vary depending on whether you experience early or late dumping syndrome. This means that using sports drinks and gels may be a problem due to the high carbohydrate content. Remember if you exercise longer than one hour, consuming carbohydrates and electrolytes can help prevent that sudden loss of energy and fatigue. Recommendations suggest to consume somewhere in the range of 30-60 grams of carbohydrate per hour, in about 10 gram increments. But you don't have to use sports drinks or gels. They don't have magical powers, just convenience. Did you know you can eat a few raisins or other fruit and get your carbs and calories easily? You don't want low blood sugar or fainting as you're trying to get stronger thru your workouts. Also, not getting enough quality calories can show its ugly face in muscle wasting, poor performance, or trouble with recovery.Speaking of recovery, try to eat or drink your meal within 30 minutes to one hour after you've finished your workout. Shoot for a ratio of 2:1 carb to protein for a post-workout meal. I know…this is not the typically bariatric way which is why which carbs you choose to eat is important along with how much. Your dietitian may have a certain level/strategy for you.Be sure and take your bariatric supplements daily and let your dietitian know how much you train. Increased workouts and increased calorie burn can increase the need for some supplements such as iron for example.Sports nutrition is just as important after your surgery as it is for anyone who trains or works out. Try these strategies, discuss with your health care team. Find what works for you. Take care of yourself and be good to you…you're worth it.

I just got back from upstate New York, visited some friends and family.I'm recharged. I'm ready to go. We are in the fourth quarter right now. In the e-commerce world, it used to be a little bit different. We're always trying to get those sales quick before the end of the year. We know people are in that buying stage. When you have a niche property, your traffic is going to increase depending on if its seasonality. You don't have to high pressure on yourself. Like getting out there and sell, sell, sell, which is somewhat pleasant. We did see higher earnings on our ad networks and affiliate products. We did see an uptick in revenue. Today what I'm going to be sharing with you is the test results over 30 days.I talked about it here in episode 1056 on the podcast. That was how we doubled our earnings overnight. That was on a small seven-day window. I wanted to see what it would do and continue to do over the next 30 days.

Lowering Stress for Optimum Health Part 3: Sympathetic Vs. Parasympathetic Nervous Systems - What they are and what they control - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor The central nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and all nerves within our body. This system is split into different parts including the autonomic nervous system. While the somatic nervous system controls the movement of our skeletal muscles, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary body functions. The autonomic nervous system is split into the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). These two systems control the same general functions in the same parts of the body but produce opposing effects. More so, both the SNS and PNS produce involuntary responses to various stimuli. However, you need to understand the function of each of these systems and what they need to function properly. At our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, we always love to educate our patients on what to do to keep their autonomic nervous system working optimally.  Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) This system controls the fight or flight response to external stimuli. When you're faced with a perceived threat, whether emotional or physical, your sympathetic nervous system kicks into gear and bring about involuntary and automatic responses, such as: Elevated blood pressure Increased heart rate elevated respiratory rate contraction of muscles heightened awareness Release of adrenaline from the adrenal gland Profuse sweating Conversion of glycogen to glucose Decrease in urinary output Most times, the sympathetic nervous system shuts down many responses of the parasympathetic in order to gain more energy for the fight or flight response. Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) This system also affects the same body functions as the SNS, but in a different way. Basically, the PNS works to slow down certain responses to bring the body to a state of calm and rest. The PNS basically controls homeostasis or maintains a healthy balance across all of the body's systems. The Parasympathetic responses include: Decrease in heart rate Increase of digestive enzymes Constriction of bronchial tubes in lungs Relaxation of muscles Sphincter relaxation Increase in urinary output Saliva production The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system. It is heavily involved in digestion, blood pressure, heart, rate, and calmness. The vagus nerve also helps with urination, defecation, and sexual arousal. How the SNS and PNS works The SNS is a faster system as it moves along short pathways. Once it is activated, it stimulates the adrenal medulla to release hormones and chemical receptors into the bloodstream. This activates the target glands and muscles. And once the perceived danger is no more, the PNS takes over to counterbalance the effect of the SNS's response. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are vital for our health and survival. However, there must always be a balance between these two for our bodies to stay healthy and perform optimally. A healthy balance of these two parts of your autonomic nervous system comes when your nerves and spinal cord are functioning properly. At our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC, Dr. Jason Jones help in giving the best chiropractic care to remove any nerve interference that could disrupt the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. This allows your body to respond appropriately to any kind of stimuli and maintain proper balance to achieve optimal health. You can visit our office or Consult Dr. Jason to learn more about your body's nervous system and how to strengthen your vagus nerve for overall health and wellness.

Sheriff Thomas Hodgson from the Bristol County Massachusetts Sheriff's Department is our guest. Are Government Policies Making Us All Less Safe? Are Anti-Law Enforcement, And The Immigration - Southern Border Crisis Policies Contributing To Increased Crime? Since 1998, Sheriff Hodgson has been on the front lines calling for responsible immigration reform that helps law enforcement keep communities safe. He has worked with state and local leaders to put national security ahead of appeasing illegal aliens. President Joe Biden and his anti-law enforcement, administration abruptly cancelled Sheriff Hodgson's partnership with ICE after more than two decades. After 20-plus years of cooperation with ICE; after 20-plus years of stellar federal audit reports; after 20-plus years of protecting the people of Bristol County from criminal illegal aliens; and after 20-plus years of advocacy from local community meetings to state legislatures, Congress and the Oval Office, Sheriff Hodgson's ICE housing, transportation and 287(g) contracts were suddenly cancelled.  If you enjoy the Law Enforcement Today Radio Show and Podcast, please tell a friend or two, or three about it.

Strength training is critical for runners who want to get the most out of their training. While it's easy to skimp on weights in favor of running more miles, weight training for runners has so many benefits:  Increased speed and power Greater running economy that helps improve endurance The ability to handle a greater workload (i.e., you can run more!) Improved injury resistance In short, there's no good reason NOT to strength train if you're a runner! To help answer all of your questions about strength, Tony Gentilcore has joined us. He's a former collegiate baseball player who graduated Magna Cum Laude from SUNY-Cortland with a degree in Health Education with a concentration in Health and Wellness Promotion. After almost going pro in baseball, he worked as a personal trainer for several years in NY, CT, and MA. Tony opened a sports performance gym with two other trainers that has grown into one of the premier baseball training facilities on the east coast. He has contributed his strength training expertise to numerous publications, including T-Nation, The Boston Herald, and BodyBuilding.com, amongst others. In today's podcast, Tony addresses many common questions related to weight lifting. But this episode is unique because the questions come directly from members of our High Performance Lifting Program, including the following: How do runners find a great strength coach or gym? What are the top 1-3 things to look for? Should strength training routines be modified for older runners? If an athlete wants to avoid any Olympic lifts but still wants to develop power and explosivity, are there alternative exercises that would be helpful? How can runners tell if they are over or under training with regard to strength? Check out the podcast to hear the answers to these questions and more. These questions are only a sample from the full 90min Q&A! Be sure to join HPL so you can get your hands on the full conversation!

Thank you Elemental Labs! A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. And you can get a free sampler pack of 4 flavors and 8 individual packets when you pay $5 in shipping. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. They just released their first new flavor of 2021, their most requested flavor, watermelon salt. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack. 

Trust among coworkers has never been more important than it is in today's virtual environment, and leaders have to intentionally design experiences that help build that trust.   As leaders, it can be tempting to bypass team building exercises and just get down to business already. There's work to be done, goals to be met. Who has time for “shared experiences” and “team bonding,” right?    In today's episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask build a solid case for why leaders can't afford not to design trust-building experiences for their team. If you want to make an impact—and you want it to be enduring—you have to rally people to do their best work, or it won't be sustainable. Your dreams and aspirations will crumble, and work will be a drag.    When you align people, connect with people, build deep strong relationships with people, the output is the best work of your career. You can accomplish way more, way faster, and more profitably when you have a strong foundation of trust.    Listen in for some great practical advice on designing organizational trust as a leader.   The 3 Levels of Trust-Building Experiences To build trust with each other organically and consistently, you have to do it with a consistent cadence. You have to build these experiences into your company's rhythm. But where do you start? How do you design these experiences? How do you develop the appropriate amount of intimacy based on the level of trust you have? You don't want to do too much, too soon.    There are three types of experiences you can create as a leader, and they need to go in this order if you want to go at a good, healthy pace.    shared experiences vulnerability-creating experiences healthy conflict experiences   Start with Shared Experiences Shared experiences require no real relational equity. You could do a zipline together. Ride go-carts. Play a round of putt-putt golf. Tackle an obstacle course or an escape room. No one has to get vulnerable with anyone else. You just show up and play the game. Jeff recommends not going to a movie together. It's better than nothing, but there's not a lot of interaction. You're just sitting there. Personalities don't come out. There's no struggle, no common goal.    A shared experience should incorporate a challenge of some kind. You're architecting and engineering something in a non-work environment that mirrors what you'll go through at work. You start together, struggle together, and emerge victorious at the end. You can have your trust at a level 0 out of 100 and get it up to 10 after this shared experience.   Richard's leadership team does something called the Hot Wings challenge, which is Facebook-famous. The show interviews celebrities who have 10 hot wings in front of them, with sauces that build from “not that hot” to “oh my gosh why would anyone ever eat this?” Along the way, you'll see the person's mask coming off, bit by bit.    Richard's team members take turns in the hot seat. When you want to talk about difficulty and shared experience and pleasure and pain, he says, this one's loaded. You ask questions along the way like, “What would your wrestler name be?” It's one thing to answer that question when you're sitting around a table. It's another to answer it when your eyes are watering, your lips are burning. It adds something to it.    He also suggests a board game like Apples to Apples. Jeff says jackbox.tv, Quiplash in particular, is great for when you can't be together physically. These games provide time to get to know one another, share emotions, laugh, bond. It's something you can anchor back to, reference time and time again as you're working together.    Next Up: Vulnerability-Creating Experiences You don't jump into this category right away. Ease into it. Make sure you've got one or two shared experiences under your belt first. The personal history exercise by Patrick Lencioni is a good one. You go around the room and ask everyone the same three questions:  Where were you born and raised? Where were you in the family's pecking (birth) order? Tell us a meaningful experience from childhood that shaped who you are today.    Ideally, the leader goes first and is more vulnerable than they'd like to be. The point isn't for everyone to break down in tears (but that does happen). The end goal is to share details where people say, wow, I never knew that. One of Jeff's mantras is: “If I don't like someone, I don't know them well enough.” And this experience helps you get to know someone better.   Richard says it gives you new data points to reevaluate previous interactions. You can say, “Oh, when I thought this person was intending to make me feel a certain way, now I realize that's just because they feel this…” You can change the narrative of how they made you feel with what you now know. Increased data = increased empathy.   You can also do what's called a Life Plot exercise. The y axis top to bottom is high and low. The x axis is time. Plot your top 3 highest highs of your life and your 3 lowest lows. This shows you—and your team—what you've gone through and how resilient you are.    The Deepest Level: Healthy Conflict Experiences A few years ago, Richard's company flew Jeff out for one of their strategic offsites for their leadership team. He took them through an exercise called Trust Maker, Trust Breaker.    If you've built shared experiences, then had vulnerability conversations internally, now you can do them externally. Now, each person can go around the room and talk about each other. “Here are the things you do that build trust in our relationship. Here are things you do that break trust in our relationship.” You can see why you wouldn't want to start with this exercise.   You as the leader have to model this, being even more transparent than you expect them to be. Who will give you strong feedback and see how you take it and respond? That will allow others to see this as a safe place.   Another activity you can do is what Jeff calls “Start, Stop, Continue” and Richard calls “Keep, Start, Stop.”  You talk about what are we doing well, what are we not doing well, what do we need to keep, what do we need to start doing, and what do we need to stop doing? And you get really honest with each other and deal with any conflict that arises in a healthy, productive way.   Sometimes you need an outside facilitator for these things. You can't fully participate and facilitate, and your team needs you to participate.   If you've never intentionally done a trust-building exercise with your team, schedule a shared experience for this quarter—or the next one. Then the following quarter, do a vulnerability experience. Then the next quarter, do a healthy conflict experience. You're building trust intentionally and appropriately.    The Role Assessments Can Play Assessments are another important thing to do with your team. There are two different types: Who I Am and How I Work. Myers-Briggs and DISC tell you more of who you are, while something like StrengthsFinder breaks down what type of work you're good at, that energizes you. When you can align the work with the person's personality, they'll be on fire. But so often we mismatch that, because we just don't know.    Richard says assessments are “slightly better than a horoscope.” In other words, don't put all your stock in it. It gives you a third party with a standard rubric that is grading everybody the same way. It's not perfect, but it allows us to have a conversation. Everyone does the assessment, sends them to the leader, then each person presents their own assessment. Share: here's what I agree with, here's what I'm unsure about, here's what I disagree with. Then open it up to the rest of the room for their feedback.   The goal is getting to know who someone is. How do I better intentionally communicate with each person on my team? And how do I better receive communication from each person on my team because of what I know about them?   Don't assume like everyone communicates like we do. It takes humility and self-awareness to recognize that. Take a backseat to your own personality and let other personalities shine. Don't try to get everyone to conform to how you do things. Give other people the space to lead from their strengths.   How often should we be creating/leading these trust-building experiences? Richard believes you should do an experience and an assessment back to back quarterly. Jeff says to allocate more time than you think is necessary. You need at least 30 minutes per person to walk through assessments. Don't cut people off when they're sharing who they are. That's the opposite of trust building.    Thank you for investing in leading others. When we take it seriously, it has a massive impact.    Richard and Jeff want to hear from YOU.

The bipartisan infrastructure bill has passed, and while investors will see some short term impacts, the bigger question is how long will it take for markets to see a return on these investments?----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Head of Public Policy Research and Municipal Strategy for Morgan Stanley. Along with my colleagues, bringing you a variety of perspectives, I'll be talking about the intersection between U.S. public policy and financial markets. It's Wednesday, November 10th at 11 a.m. in New York. While Congress continues to negotiate the 'Build Back Better' plan, the package of expanded social programs paid for by fresh taxes on companies and wealthier households, it managed to get a key companion piece of legislation over the finish line last week: the bipartisan infrastructure framework. Many investors may have overlooked this event given the framework's smaller relative price tag and lack of tangible tax increases. But don't be fooled. This is a watershed event, and investors should pay attention.In short, the infrastructure framework adds about $550 billion to the existing budget baseline for infrastructure spending in the U.S. That's a nearly doubling of spending over the next 10 years on infrastructure. And that means fresh market and economic impacts to consider. For the broader economy, the story is nuanced. Increased infrastructure spending is generally a good return on investment. However, that impact usually isn't visible right away. In the short term, the money put into the economy to build a new road or train line is funded by money taken out of the economy by taxes. A few years out, that new road leads to more economic activity than there was before. But that might not be tangible enough to move markets in the near term.Something more tangible is the obvious impact to the industries directly involved in infrastructure construction. For example, my colleague Nik Lippman sees material upside to cement companies, who will see major improvements in demand for their product.Bottom line, the infrastructure supercycle is here. We'll track it and all the market impacts for you as they take shape.Thanks for listening.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We are in an emergency. Our planet is experiencing an urgent state of crisis. The environmental devastation of our planet, accelerated by climate change, is getting worse by the day. According to the World Health Organization, climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century, surpassing even the ongoing and deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Land temperatures have increased about twice as fast as the global average. Globally, 2020 was the hottest year on record, according to NASA. The warmest years in our planets history have all occurred since 2005. Every year, approximately 75 billion tons of fertile soil is lost to land degradation, according to the United Nations. The livelihoods of more than 1 billion people in about 100 countries are threatened by desertification. Heat waves and wildfires are becoming more frequent, intensive, and extensive. Between 2000 and 2016, the number of people exposed to heat waves increased by around 125 million. During this time, more than 166,000 people died because of heat waves. In 2020, the number of wildfires around the world were up 13 percent from 2019, which was already a record year. The World Wildlife Fund estimates that at least 75 percent of all wildfires are caused by human activity. Increased warming in the Arctic and Antarctica has also contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss. On Sunday, October 31, the United Nations Climate Change Conference kicked off the COP26 (Conference of the Parties) in Glasgow, Scotland. Twenty-five thousand delegates from 200 countries are attending, and around 120 heads of state. The conference, which was delayed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will run until Friday, November 12. The conference is the 26th COP to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the third meeting of the parties to the Paris Climate Accords. Today, a special on COP26 and the urgent state of the environment. Our guests are Tina Gerhardt and Winnie Overbeek. Tina Gerhardt is an environmental journalist and academic. Her work has been published by Grist, The Progressive, The Nation and Sierra Magazine. She is currently the Barron Professor of the Environment at Princeton University. Tina is the author of the forthcoming book, Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean. She is covering COP 26 for The Nation and Sierra Magazine. Her most recent article for The Nation is At COP 26, Island Nations Demand Action on Funding and Emissions. Winnie Overbeek has been the coordinator of the World Rainforest Movement (WRM) since 2011, a global network supporting forest-dependent communities in their struggles to defend their territories in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Winnie is based in the Brazilian town of Vitoria in the Espirito Santo state. Before engaging with WRM, Winnie has worked for many years with networks and organizations in Brazil supporting communities affected by large scale tree plantations and other large-scale (agro) industrial projects.

Welcome to part two of our MJ Unpacked experience! In this episode, we take some time to reflect and share some final thoughts on our trip to the MJ Unpacked conference. We'll discuss our biggest takeaways and highlight some of our favorite moments and products. We also have another special interview for you. Our guests today are Carrie Mapes and Patty Papas, founders of Hello Again. They have created a cannabis-powered vaginal suppository with soothing botanicals to provide relief from the physical and emotional symptoms that come with menopause. It's a highly innovative product for women who can't get relief in other ways, and it's given them the opportunity to share their wisdom and support women like never before. For those that have never experienced menopause, imagine having your hormones change while going through puberty, but dealing with those symptoms for a period of time that can be three times as long. Increased anxiety, sweatiness, lack of sleep, body pain, headaches and memory loss, these are all symptoms that women struggle with and why this product is so unique. In today's episode, Carrie and Patty talk about how they created a product with the medicinal benefits from cannabis, how the THC aspect works without making you feel high, and why they're focused on helping other women continue to live vibrant lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS How Carrie and Patty first became interested in creating their cannabis product. The potential use cases for cannabis suppositories. The symptoms that they are trying to help alleviate for women. Why some women might not even realize they're in menopause, and why there is a lack of awareness on this topic. How Hello Again is spreading awareness of their product.

I am dedicating today's episode to sharing more about thyroid health and stress/adrenal function. Increased stress and cortisol is something many of us deal with on a daily basis, and it can be very harmful to overall hormone and thyroid function. Most women do not realize how much stress is actually contributing to hormone imbalance, weight and energy.  Chronic stress can lead to adrenal fatigue or cortisol dis-regulation, which can really mess with your thyroid and vice versa. The goal of this episode is to open the conversation around these issues and share ways you can improve your health.  12 Week Program Waitlist: www.drbethwestie.com/waitlist

Life is getting harder for boards of directors of public companies. Increased scrutiny of companies — particularly in heavily regulated industries — has led to greater risk of criminal and civil liability. And recent Delaware cases have ratcheted up the pressure, allowing lawsuits to proceed against boards for failure of oversight. What should directors know about their oversight responsibilities?  And what can boards do to mitigate their risk? Our latest episode of The Sidley Podcast grapples with those questions and many others. Join host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on the subject — Holly Gregory and Dr. Paul Kalb.Holly is co-chair of Sidley's global Corporate Governance and Executive Compensation practice, and currently serves as the president of the American College of Governance Counsel. Paul serves as the global leader of Sidley's Healthcare and FDA group and leader of the firm's COVID-19 Task Force. He is also a member of the firm's Executive Committee. Executive Producer: John Metaxas, WallStreetNorth Communications, Inc.

Did you know that when we communicate, only 7% is in the words that we say? That means 93% of our communication is through nonverbal language. In today's episode of IntHERrupt, Linda's going solo to explain some of her findings and experiences in fostering positive nonverbal communication. The goal with body language is to look at them in clusters, not just one instance of expression. Nonverbal language is the way you move your body, the way you gesture, whether or not you're smiling, and whether you make eye contact, all of which impact nonverbal language. Did you know that we make over 3000 facial gestures a day? Humans are far more expressive than we might think. Linda learned firsthand the importance of body language when interacting with a past COO.  She wanted to share an idea, but his body language was not receptive to communication. (His arms folded, he was scowling and made no eye contact.) Linda mirrored him, becoming equally closed off.  Soon after, he began to nod and make eye contact, so Linda became more open.  Once they were both open with each other, they were able to share ideas. Posture is integral to good nonverbal communication. Keep your shoulders back, with your shoulder blades rolled back and down. Keep your head up, and your body open, and your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the ground. Spending time moving your body and getting exercise will help you be more confident. Use nonverbal communication to gauge if someone might be deceptive. Sudden jerky movements or covering their mouth after speaking Shifts in voice tone or a sudden dry cough Increased blink rate or clenched eyebrows. They might smile more than usual, trying to overcompensate. Your body language is just as crucial as your teammates'. As a leader, you want to be approachable. Your job is to listen to others. Therefore, you need to show that you will and do hear people when in conversation with others. Be aware of where your or someone's feet point. For example, if feet are pointed toward the door, they might be uncomfortable with the situation. If in conversation with someone who is uncomfortable, turn your body on a slight angle, so you aren't interacting with them head-on. Linda's final takeaway: Record yourself speaking, whether at an event or even in your living room, and watch your body language. It's a great way to observe any nervous habits you have that you might not even be aware of. Do you have any questions about body language or being aware of your own body language? Ask it in Linda's Facebook group!  Do you have stories to tell? Connect with Linda to share them. This podcast is produced by TSE Studios.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let's get started!    Nicolo: I finished the 21 day detox and feel great. the one issue that i thought would be relieved by the detox was bumps/pimples on back of upper arms and shoulders. i am 44 year old male 6'-1" 200 pounds. Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! I'd love to get your view on the following: For young women that don't have their periods whether it is due to primary or secondary amenorrhea, are chronic levels of low estrogen an issue? Estrogen levels of 211 pmol/L for example. I've read that: 1. Not having a period is strongly correlated with below normal bone density. 2. Heart function - low estrogen is associated with a increased risk of heart disease as estrogen helps with the formation of hormones like nitric oxide and so keeps levels of vasoconstrictors low. 3. Increased risk neurodegenerative diseases as estrogen is highly protective of brain cells because the cells called microglia are turned off by estrogen and progesterone thus reducing inflammation in the brain. Do you agree on the above? Tessi: I am a 36 year old, and have addison's disease and hypothyroidism. I recently suffered a Missed Miscarriage (silent miscarriage) after being 8 weeks pregnant. Is this common for people who have autoimmune issues? I read that it this type of miscarriage only happens to 3-5% of females...I really want to try to get pregnant again but scared this may happen again.... Currently I'm waiting to get my big 5 lab results back so I can start my healing journey. Lorena: Hi, it's me again :) If the risk for osteoporisis, heart disease and brain diseases are increased on a woman with amenorrhea what would you advice be other than getting the period back? At this point, I give up on getting my period back. It's been years without it since I came off birth control and never got it. I've gone to the best endocronologists and gyneocologists in Germany and they can't figure out why I can't get my period back. All of my hormones are normal according to them. Maybe a little on the lower side when it comes to E2, LH and testosterone but that's about it. I even ran the saliva test with your team and they said that my estrogen, DHEA and progesterone were a little low but nothing crazy out of range for me not to have my period. I did all of your protocols (CBO, CBO finisher, heavy metal detox & more). Foundational protocol level 3 with extra vitamin D & magnesium. One endocrinologist suspects hypothalamic amenorrhea but tbh I doubt it. I'm a 25 year old vata (bmi 20.1. & 14% body fat.,10k steps per day & 30 mins of strength training 4 times a week. Eat 90% plant-based with plenty of protein, carbs and fat approx 2000 calories). Maybe body fat is a little low? I'm doing everything right and I just want my period back. Leandro: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for answering so many questions. I find the answers very helpful and I have learned so much. My question is regarding waking up in the morning with a locked jaw. My wife, for years wakes up most mornings with a locked jaw. You can actually hear her jaw pop, like when you crack your knuckles, when she tries to open it most mornings. Sometimes she says it's stuck for a little bit before she can open it. She has been to a chiropractor and seen other doctors and dentists, but most doctors/dentists recommends she gets a shot of botox to help address it, which she doesn't want to do. Is there anything you could recommend to address this? She has PCOS, but otherwise is a very healthy woman. Thank you. Aubree: My question is, is there an underlying issue that goes along with ganglion cysts? I've had two. The first went away on its own and the 2nd one I've had for a couple of years. Any help you can give without getting it lanced?Thanks!

There are so many more than 5 benefits of strength training. But If you just even need a reminder today, you need to stick your toe in the water, or you need to be reminded that cardio does NONE of these either at all or as effectively...here you go. 5 Benefits of Strength Training After 50: Accelerated Fat Loss (belly fat) Improved Bone Health Mitochondrial Health Brain & Mood Health Reverse Aging Effects on DNA Fat Loss Want insurance you won't gain weight, total fat, and belly fat with age? Strength training. Following post menopausal women for 6 years, those that had the greatest consistency with strength training (more details below) maintained weight, total and regional (belly) fat. Those with no resistance training gained significant weight, total and trunk fat over 6 years post menopause. For menopausal women the best ways to combat belly fat (in addition to attention to WHAT and WHEN you're eating) is a weekly workout schedule that includes strength training and interval training. Strength train to muscle fatigue in each set. Reach breathlessness in your interval training. Volume for strength training should come from the sets and repetitions not from the frequency of lifting. (Increased lifting frequency reduces the recovery time and tends to decrease overall intensity. Split routines get 8x fewer results than a total body workout). Bone Health Increasing bone density post menopause was once thought not possible. In part, however, this may have been due to the very conservative nature of the strength training performed. At best, bone losses were slowed or halted, and even then did create positive change. Imagine, losing 1-2% bone density a year, and then not losing any. That is significant change. Now, more recent studies that combine dietary changes with adequate weight training stimulus have been proven to increase bone density in post menopausal women. The gap in research is clear, though. Some protocols DO NOT WORK to increase or positively protect bone health. Work with an expert in osteoporosis, a Medical Exercise Specialist, and someone who has done the research, is willing to show it to you (as in a list of references and multiple citings). Mitochondrial Health Those powerhouses of energy production, called mitochondria slow in production as a natural part of aging. That is important for many tissues in the body and body function, not just muscle. However, mitochondrial aging can be reversed and or prevented with proper intensity exercise. Both high load and low load resistance training done to muscular fatigue are beneficial for mitochondria health. Again, the solution is not a mild walk every day, but some vigorous and intense exercise, consisting of both resistance training and exercise to breathlessness. Brain & Mood Health Exercise has long been a mood booster for many. It's also supportive of decreasing signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as increasing function of the hippocampus (aka, memory central). Resistance training along with cardiovascular training helps problem solving skills and creativity as well. Antiaging Effects on DNA Just twice weekly strength training for 6 months positively influences the expression of 179 genes associated in aging. As a woman in the second half of life, you want to be all over that. I've shared this research many times. It's one of my absolute favorite studies to quote. Shout it from the mountain tops! What are you doing that you couldn't do twice weekly strength training workouts? This phenomenon of reversing aging is also closely related to improvements in mitochondria function with aging. What is “Strength Training?” Falling under that large umbrella of resistance training, strength training and weight training specifically refer to use of weights as additional load. Body weight training, tubing and bands, even use of water exercise are other ways to use resistance. The key is finding a way to strength train that enables you to safely do more pulling exercises than pushing exercises and harness the metabolism boosting value of reaching fatigue with the major muscles of the lower body. Strength training after 50 comes with dual goals of getting benefits while reducing risks.  Compare, say a Pilates session with a session using dumbbells that result in muscular fatigue in each set. The muscle strength, bone health, metabolism benefits of the strength training surpass that of Pilates exercise. Where to begin? Start strength training after 50 with a solid foundation of basic movements (push, pull, squat and hinge exercises). Use slightly higher in repetitions (15-20 or even up to 25 repetitions depending on your condition). You can use dumbbells at home, or at the gym. You can use machine weights. You will need a bar or equipment of some kind to do pulling or hinging movement against resistance. I prefer use of an assortment of dumbbells, kettle bell and weighted vest for home workouts.
