Easter is one of the busiest periods on Queensland roads. Operation X-Ray Easter will run from April 4 to April 21, covering the entire school holiday period. One of the officers in charge of the operation, Superintendent Steven Newland told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "We encourage people to do the right thing and use common sense on our road network, particularly at times of high risk like Easter, when we have a lot of traffic on the road." "We have increased risk, particularly in the current environment, where we've got a really big rain event happening at the same time and that increases the risk to everyone on the road," Superintendent Newland said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Polls will be open in Wisconsin and Florida today in what's being seen as a national political power struggle.  In Wisconsin there's a state supreme court election, and Florida voters will decide two pivotal vacant House seats that could shift the balance of power nationally.  Both sides see the  races as a referendum on the direction of the country since Donald Trump's election victory.   Two ---- The bodies of three of the four missing U.S. Army soldiers in Lithuania have been found.   The soldiers went missing during a training mission last week.  The M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle they were in was lifted out of a swamp earlier today. The search continues for the fourth soldier.   And number three —   A recent study finds that a lack of sleep can lead to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.  The lead author of the study from Yale School of Medicine says if the brain doesn't spend sufficient time in deep sleep it can lead to shrinkages in certain parts of the brain affecting specific functions over time.  Adults typically need up to eight hours of sleep a night.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore the science behind negative self-talk (Amazon Affiliate) and why it's far more than just words. Your brain listens to everything you tell it. The way you talk to yourself affects not only your mental resilience but also your physical health, stress levels, and decision-making. For first responders, where split-second decisions can mean life or death, negative self-talk isn't just a bad habit—it can be a dangerous liability. This episode dives into the real impact of negative self-talk on the brain and body, examples of how it manifests, and how to reframe your inner dialogue to be healthier, more productive, and ultimately, stronger. 1. Why Negative Self-Talk is More Than Just Words Your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between truth and what you tell yourself repeatedly. Studies show that repeated negative thoughts create strong neural pathways that reinforce self-doubt, fear, and failure. For first responders, this can affect confidence, reaction time, and even long-term mental health. 2. The Psychological and Physical Effects of Negative Self-Talk 1. Increased Cortisol and Stress Response Example: Constantly telling yourself "I'm not good enough" puts your body in a state of stress, leading to higher cortisol levels. Physical Impact: Elevated cortisol contributes to high blood pressure, weight gain, fatigue, and even heart disease. 2. Impaired Decision-Making and Performance Example: Telling yourself "I always screw things up" before a high-pressure call increases hesitation and lowers confidence. Why It Matters: Self-doubt on the job can slow reaction times, decrease efficiency, and increase mistakes. 3. Mental Exhaustion and Burnout Example: Constant negative self-talk drains mental energy, leading to quicker burnout and emotional exhaustion. Why It Matters: First responders already face high levels of stress—adding negative self-talk compounds the problem. 4. Increased Risk of Anxiety and Depression Example: Repeating phrases like "I'm not strong enough" or "I can't handle this" rewires the brain to believe those statements. Why It Matters: Over time, this can lead to chronic anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. 5. Lowered Immune Function and Physical Health Decline Example: Negative self-talk has been linked to weakened immune responses, making first responders more susceptible to illness and fatigue. Why It Matters: A weakened immune system means more sick days, slower recovery, and increased vulnerability in the field. 3. Reframing Negative Self-Talk: Turning It into a Strength 1. Identify and Challenge the Thought Example: Instead of saying "I can't handle this" → Ask yourself: Is that actually tru 2. Replace "Always" and "Never" Statements Example: Instead of "I always fail at this" → Avoid extreme language. Reframe: "I made a mistake, but I'm learning and improving every time." 3. Speak to Yourself Like a Friend or Teammate Example: You wouldn't tell your partner "You're a screw-up", so why say it to yourself? Reframe: "I did my best with what I had in the moment. Next time, I'll adjust and do better." 4. Use Actionable Affirmations Example: Instead of "I'm bad at de-escalating situations", change it to an action statement. Reframe: "I'm learning to stay calm and improve my communication skills every day." 5. Visualize Success Instead of Failure Example: Instead of mentally playing out worst-case scenarios, imagine yourself nailing that interview, handling that call with confidence, or succeeding in that challenge. Why It Works: The brain doesn't differentiate between real and imagined experiences—visualizing success increases confidence and actual performance. 4. How First Responders Can Build a Resilient Mindset Start small—negative self-talk is a habit, and breaking it takes time. Use "power phrases" that help shift your mindset ("I am capable, I am prepared, I am focused.") Surround yourself with positive influences—your work culture and personal circle matter. 5. Why This Matters: First responders face enough external stress without letting internal dialogue work against them. The way you talk to yourself determines how you show up on the job, at home, and in life. By identifying negative self-talk, reframing it into something constructive, and building resilience, you can take control of your mental and physical well-being—leading to better performance, better health, and a better life. Listen now to learn how to shift your self-talk and strengthen your mindset on and off duty!

The negative impacts of overdose deaths on family members and friends are profound and multifaceted, affecting individuals emotionally, psychologically, socially, and economically.Emotional Trauma: The sudden loss of a loved one to overdose often leads to intense emotional trauma for family members and friends. They may experience shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, and profound sadness. The traumatic nature of the death can lead to long-term psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Grief and Mourning: Family members and friends go through a complex grieving process that may be compounded by feelings of shame and stigma associated with drug overdose. The stigma surrounding addiction can isolate them from their support networks, making it more challenging to cope with their grief.Sense of Powerlessness and Guilt: Loved ones may feel a sense of powerlessness and guilt, questioning whether they could have done more to prevent the overdose or help the individual struggling with addiction. This guilt can be overwhelming and lead to self-blame, further exacerbating their emotional distress.Disruption of Family Dynamics: The loss of a family member or friend to overdose can disrupt family dynamics and relationships. Siblings may struggle with feelings of abandonment or resentment, parents may experience strain in their marriage, and children may face challenges in processing the loss of a parent or sibling.Financial Strain: The financial burden of dealing with the aftermath of an overdose death can be significant. Funeral expenses, medical bills, and legal fees can strain the finances of the deceased's family, especially if the individual struggled with addiction and was unable to maintain stable employment.Social Isolation and Stigma: Family members and friends may face social isolation and stigma from their communities, which can exacerbate feelings of shame and prevent them from seeking support. The stigma associated with addiction and overdose may lead to judgmental attitudes and discrimination, further complicating the grieving process.Increased Risk of Substance Abuse: The trauma of losing a loved one to overdose may increase the risk of substance abuse among family members and friends as a maladaptive coping mechanism. Without proper support and intervention, they may turn to drugs or alcohol to numb their pain and alleviate their emotional distress.Impact on Children: Children who lose a parent or sibling to overdose are particularly vulnerable to long-term emotional and psychological effects. They may experience feelings of abandonment, confusion, and insecurity, which can manifest in behavioral problems, academic difficulties, and emotional instability.In a new study that has been released by the RAND corporation, roughly 42% of adults in America know at least one person who has died from an accidental overdose. In this episode we take a look at those numbers.(commercial at 11:11)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:About 42% of US adults know someone who died by overdose, new survey finds | CNN

Midlife is often seen as a point of no return for health, but it could be the perfect moment to make a radical change. New research suggests that your gut microbiome holds the key to aging well, protecting you from chronic disease, and even reversing some of the damage from years of poor diet and stress. Few people understand this better than Rich Roll, who went from an overweight, junk-food-addicted workaholic to one of the world's fittest men - all after the age of 40. Now a plant-fuelled ultramarathoner and bestselling author, Rich shares the wake-up call that forced him to transform his life. He's joined by Professor Tim Spector, one of the world's top 100 most cited scientists and professor of epidemiology at King's College London, who explains why gut health becomes even more important as we age - and how small changes to diet, movement, and daily habits can have an outsized impact later in life.

Insulin resistance isn't just about what we eat. It's about how our bodies respond to food, how we store fat, and how our hormones work together to keep everything in balance. And did you know that insulin resistance can look different depending on whether you're a man or a woman? In this episode, we'll break down the unique symptoms of insulin resistance in both men and women, from weight gain and fatigue to hormonal disruptions and more. Whether you're concerned about your own health or just curious about this metabolic condition, this episode will help you understand how insulin resistance manifests differently in each gender and why it's so important to recognize early symptoms. What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. While both men and women can experience similar underlying metabolic changes, insulin resistance symptoms may manifest differently in each gender due to hormonal and physiological differences. Insulin Resistance Symptoms in Women: Weight Gain (Especially Around the Abdomen and Hips) Women may notice weight gain around the abdomen, hips, and thighs. The hormonal fluctuations in women, particularly with estrogen and insulin, may cause fat to accumulate more readily in these areas. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Insulin resistance is a key factor in PCOS, a condition that is characterized by irregular periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and ovarian cysts. Insulin resistance can exacerbate the symptoms of PCOS. Irregular Menstrual Cycles Elevated insulin levels can interfere with hormonal regulation, causing irregular or absent menstrual cycles. This is often seen in women with PCOS or those who are insulin-resistant. Fatigue and Energy Slumps Women with insulin resistance may feel more fatigued or experience energy dips throughout the day as the body struggles to process glucose for energy efficiently. Increased Hunger and Cravings (Particularly for Carbs) Insulin resistance can lead to constant hunger or cravings for sugary, high-carb foods, as the body's ability to process and utilize glucose effectively is impaired. Skin Changes Conditions like Acanthosis Nigricans, which results in dark, thickened skin around the neck, armpits, or groin, are more common in women with insulin resistance. Women may also experience skin tags, especially around the neck or underarms. Mood Swings and Depression Insulin resistance can impact the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to mood swings, irritability, and even contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety in some women. Increased Risk of Gestational Diabetes Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance later in life. Insulin Resistance Symptoms in Men: Abdominal Fat (Visceral Fat) Men are more likely to store fat in the abdominal area, known as visceral fat. This type of fat is linked to an increased risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. It can contribute to a larger waist circumference and an “apple-shaped” body. Low Energy and Fatigue Men with insulin resistance may experience chronic fatigue and decreased energy levels, as their bodies are less effective at converting glucose into usable energy. Reduced Muscle Mass Insulin resistance may lead to reduced muscle mass, as insulin is also a hormone involved in muscle repair and growth. Men might notice a decrease in strength or difficulty gaining muscle despite exercise. Increased Hunger and Cravings Like women, men with insulin resistance may also experience increased hunger, particularly for high-carb and sugary foods. This can lead to overeating or difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. Erectile Dysfunction Insulin resistance can impair blood flow and affect hormone levels, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED). This is a common issue for men with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. High Blood Pressure Insulin resistance is often associated with hypertension (high blood pressure), which is a risk factor for heart disease. This may be one of the early signs of insulin resistance in men. Fatty Liver Disease Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition in which fat builds up in the liver and is closely associated with insulin resistance. It is more common in men and can lead to liver inflammation or more serious liver conditions if left unchecked. Sleep Apnea Men with insulin resistance may be at higher risk for sleep apnea, a condition characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, which can worsen metabolic problems and further disrupt insulin sensitivity.

A new report by the Irish Refugee Council recorded volunteers' experiences supporting homeless asylum seekers. With Nick Henderson, CEO of the Irish Refugee Council.

In the first year after the Supreme Court ended the federal right to an abortion, 200 women faced charges for behavior related to pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss or birth. The decision emboldened prosecutors to develop aggressive strategies to charge and imprison pregnant women and mothers. But even prior to the overturning of Roe, hundreds of women faced such charges.

Today, we talk about all the lies about women the media is peddling as we head into the election. As media outlets falsely report about miscarriage care, maternal mortality, and infant mortality rates, we discuss all of the ways these reports are at best misleading and at worst malicious. We also discuss how the Biden-Harris administration's open-border policy has led to more violence against women, which is completely preventable. And this is not to mention the erasure of woman and girls through the gutting of Title IX in the name of diversity and inclusion. Voting for Harris in this election is truly a vote against women, no matter what the left says.

In a cross-sectional analysis from the CONSTANCES cohort study, hearing loss in middle-aged French adults was linked to increased odds of cognitive impairment. Although hearing aid use did not significantly lower the odds of cognitive decline overall, it did show benefits for those with depression. The World Health Organization recommends vaccinating pregnant women in their third trimester to protect newborns against RSV, though global access to vaccines like Pfizer's Abrysvo remains limited. Finally, University of Michigan researchers developed a microchip that rapidly detects cancer-specific exosomes in blood, potentially enhancing early lung cancer diagnosis.

When you have a fatty liver, every other function in your body becomes compromised.  A fatty liver also means a fatty pancreas, and other fatty organs. This also means you have excess visceral fat! Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. While the liver naturally contains some fat, when more than 5-10% of its weight is fat, it can lead to complications. Fatty liver disease is generally categorized into two main types: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Fat accumulation due to excessive alcohol consumption. In the United States, it is estimated that 10% to 20% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of NAFLD in children has been increasing, particularly due to the rising rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Among children with obesity, the prevalence of NAFLD is significantly higher, ranging from 30% to 50%. Approximately 30 years ago, in the early 1990s, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was relatively rare in children, with an estimated prevalence of around 1% to 3%!! Here are 10 health complications that can occur with fatty liver disease…. 1. Liver Inflammation and Damage 2. Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes 3. Cardiovascular Diseases 4. Kidney Disease 5. Sleep Apnea 6. Increased Risk of Certain Cancers 7. Hormonal Imbalances 8. Fatigue and Malaise 9. Nutrient Deficiencies 10. Weight Gain and Difficulty Losing Weight

Excessive arm leg and a short stride in baseball pitching can lead to several issues that affect performance, consistency, and long-term health. Here's an explanation of the problems associated with each: 1. Excessive Arm Lag - Timing Disruption: - Increased Stress on the Arm: - Decreased Velocity: 2. Short Stride - Reduced Momentum and Power: - Mechanical Inefficiency: - Increased Arm Stress: - Balance and Stability Issues: In summary, both excessive arm lag and a short stride can lead to mechanical inefficiencies, reduced velocity, increased risk of injury, and command issues. Correcting these flaws involves refining the pitcher's mechanics to ensure a more synchronized and powerful delivery, ultimately leading to better performance and longevity on the mound. Excessive arm recoil, often referred to as "reverse rotation" or "recoil," occurs when a pitcher's arm snaps back or recoils after releasing the ball, instead of following through naturally toward the target. This issue can create several problems in a pitcher's throwing mechanics, impacting both performance and long-term arm health. Here are the key problems associated with excessive arm recoil: 1. **Increased Arm Stress and Risk of Injury** - **Elbow and Shoulder Strain**: - **Improper Deceleration**: 2. **Reduced Pitching Efficiency** - **Energy Loss**: - **Disrupted Kinetic Chain**: 3. **Inconsistent Command and Control** - **Erratic Release Points**: - **Difficulty with Secondary Pitches**: 4. **Negative Impact on Mechanics Over Time** - **Mechanical Flaws**: - **Difficulty in Making Adjustments**: In summary, excessive arm recoil is a significant mechanical flaw that can lead to increased stress on the arm, reduced efficiency and velocity, inconsistent command, and a higher risk of injury. Addressing this issue requires focused mechanical adjustments, often with the help of a pitching coach, to ensure that the arm follows through naturally and the kinetic chain is optimized for both performance and longevity. The center of gravity through the front hip 1. **Efficient Weight Transfer** - **Maximizing Power**: - **Maintaining Balance**: 2. **Optimal Kinetic Chain Engagement** - **Sequential Energy Transfer**: - **Hip-Shoulder Separation**: 3. **Consistent Mechanics** - **Repeatability**: - **Proper Follow-Through**: 4. **Injury Prevention** - **Reducing Arm Stress**: - **Promoting Proper Mechanics**: 5. **Improved Command and Control** - **Stable Release Point**: - **Better Pitch Sequencing**: In summary, the center of gravity passing through the front hip is essential for a pitcher to achieve efficient weight transfer, maintain balance, generate power, and reduce the risk of injury. It also plays a critical role in ensuring consistent mechanics, which are vital for command, control, and overall performance on the mound. The back foot or leg drag after the release of the baseball is a common mechanical issue that can negatively impact a pitcher's performance, efficiency, and long-term health. Here are the key problems associated with this flaw: 1. **Reduced Power and Velocity** - **Inefficient Energy Transfer**: - **Limited Hip Rotation**: 2. **Mechanical Inefficiency** - **Poor Balance and Stability**: - **Incomplete Follow-Through**: 3. **Increased Risk of Injury** - **Added Stress on the Arm**: - **Strain on the Lower Body**: 4. **Decreased Pitch Command and Control** - **Inconsistent Release Points**: - **Difficulty with Secondary Pitches**: 5. **Reduced Momentum Toward Home Plate** - **Less Aggressive Stride**: 6. **Negative Effects on Athleticism and Fielding** - **Hindered Athletic Positioning**: - **Delayed Recovery**: In summary, a back foot or leg drag after the release of the baseball indicates mechanical inefficiencies that can reduce power, increase the risk of injury, and negatively impact pitch command and control. Addressing this issue requires focusing on the proper use of the lower body, particularly ensuring a strong push off the back leg and a complete follow-through, to maximize efficiency and performance on the mound. When a pitcher's back foot or leg leaves the ground before the release of the baseball, it can lead to several mechanical issues that negatively affect performance, consistency, and injury risk. Here's a breakdown of the key problems associated with this flaw: 1. **Loss of Ground Connection and Power** - **Reduced Power Generation**: - **Inefficient Energy Transfer**: 2. **Compromised Balance and Stability** - **Loss of Balance**: - **Disrupted Timing**: 3. **Increased Arm Stress and Injury Risk** - **Over-Reliance on the Arm**: - **Incomplete Deceleration**: 4. **Reduced Command and Pitch Control** - **Inconsistent Release Point**: - **Difficulty Executing Secondary Pitches**: 5. **Negative Impact on Follow-Through** - **Incomplete Follow-Through**: - **Reduced Momentum Toward the Plate**: 6. **Impaired Athletic Positioning for Defense** - **Delayed Fielding Readiness**: - **Less Effective Follow-Through Positioning**: In summary, the back foot leaving the ground before the release of the baseball disrupts the proper mechanics of the pitching motion, leading to reduced power, compromised balance, increased arm stress, inconsistent command, and an impaired defensive position. Addressing this flaw requires focusing on maintaining ground connection through the back foot until after the ball is released, ensuring that the lower body is fully engaged in the pitching motion

Your company may or may not have been impacted by the recent major technology outage, in which a faulty software update by security firm Crowdstrike crashed millions of computers in office buildings, airports, supermarkets, and other businesses worldwide. Even as IT staff were fighting to restore services, authorities were warning workers to be extra vigilant for unsolicited contact from scammers. If you get contacted by someone claiming that your system has been damaged in the recent outage, and demanding payment, banking details, passwords, or access to your computer to fix the problem, don't engage with them. Just hang up. If you get an email prompting you to click on a link, or to enter your details into a web page for assistance with the Crowdstrike incident, don't. Just delete it. However badly the incident affected your company, your IT team will be handling it. As always, contact them directly if you want to confirm whether any suspect scam call is legitimate.

The negative impacts of overdose deaths on family members and friends are profound and multifaceted, affecting individuals emotionally, psychologically, socially, and economically.Emotional Trauma: The sudden loss of a loved one to overdose often leads to intense emotional trauma for family members and friends. They may experience shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, and profound sadness. The traumatic nature of the death can lead to long-term psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Grief and Mourning: Family members and friends go through a complex grieving process that may be compounded by feelings of shame and stigma associated with drug overdose. The stigma surrounding addiction can isolate them from their support networks, making it more challenging to cope with their grief.Sense of Powerlessness and Guilt: Loved ones may feel a sense of powerlessness and guilt, questioning whether they could have done more to prevent the overdose or help the individual struggling with addiction. This guilt can be overwhelming and lead to self-blame, further exacerbating their emotional distress.Disruption of Family Dynamics: The loss of a family member or friend to overdose can disrupt family dynamics and relationships. Siblings may struggle with feelings of abandonment or resentment, parents may experience strain in their marriage, and children may face challenges in processing the loss of a parent or sibling.Financial Strain: The financial burden of dealing with the aftermath of an overdose death can be significant. Funeral expenses, medical bills, and legal fees can strain the finances of the deceased's family, especially if the individual struggled with addiction and was unable to maintain stable employment.Social Isolation and Stigma: Family members and friends may face social isolation and stigma from their communities, which can exacerbate feelings of shame and prevent them from seeking support. The stigma associated with addiction and overdose may lead to judgmental attitudes and discrimination, further complicating the grieving process.Increased Risk of Substance Abuse: The trauma of losing a loved one to overdose may increase the risk of substance abuse among family members and friends as a maladaptive coping mechanism. Without proper support and intervention, they may turn to drugs or alcohol to numb their pain and alleviate their emotional distress.Impact on Children: Children who lose a parent or sibling to overdose are particularly vulnerable to long-term emotional and psychological effects. They may experience feelings of abandonment, confusion, and insecurity, which can manifest in behavioral problems, academic difficulties, and emotional instability.In a new study that has been released by the RAND corporation, roughly 42% of adults in America know at least one person who has died from an accidental overdose. In this episode we take a look at those numbers.(commercial at 11:11)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:About 42% of US adults know someone who died by overdose, new survey finds | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

I admit that after thirty years in this field, I assume that most of my "health decisions" are correct. Yet, whenever I record a podcast, I discover more things I'm doing wrong! GRRRRR…. At this point, I have two options: Get frustrated at everything "I've yet to do…" OR Understand that knowledge is power, and one day at a time, incorporate new habits that can help lower disease risk. Of course, I'm choosing choice number 2! The small changes I make will eventually create a more significant impact. Fast forward to my conversation today with air quality expert Michael Rubino. Michael shared some recent studies that discovered a link between many cancers and air quality. My first thought was, "Sure, I can understand poor air quality and the link to lung cancer," but no, the study suggested that poor air quality can contribute to breast, pancreatic, and many other types of cancer. What?! The authors explained that pollution can impact our DNA and alter our immune response. This can increase inflammation, which contributes to cancer growth. The authors also suggested that in the case of digestive cancers, pollution can affect gut health and influence cancer development. Okay, now what? How do we make our homes safer without breaking the bank? Michael suggested some easy fixes, such as changing out your HVAC filter more regularly and having a good air purifier in the house.

Hidden sources of stress — and how to beat them. Also: the myth of normal, the necessity of being disillusioned, and the disutility of comparing your suffering.Description: There's so much to be grateful for in modern medicine. We can all agree that we would not do as well in a world with no Advil or dentistry. And yet, our guest today, who is a renowned doctor, says modern medicine is overlooking something crucial: the pernicious impact that modern living has on our minds and bodies. In other words, we are surrounded by these hidden societal and structural sources of stress and we aren't thinking about how to treat and prevent these factors that are degrading our happiness and our immune systems. Dr. Gabor Maté is a bestselling author with an expertise on everything from stress to addiction to ADHD. His latest book is called, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic CultureContent Warning: This episode has mentions of child abuse, sexual trauma, suicide and addictionIn this episode we talk about:What he means by “the myth of normal”How diseases, such as autoimmune conditions, are an “artifact of civilization”How to begin to tackle what Dr. Maté calls, “the social sources of illness” His definition of trauma and the difference between “big T traumatic events” and the trauma of “wounding”How trauma in society is so normalized that we don't even recognize itWhether the term trauma is overusedWhy comparing suffering is a fruitless endeavor What he means by “the necessity to be disillusioned” The power and possibility of psychedelics Why he thinks we should incorporate shamanic medicine into our western medical frameworkAnd what he means by “undoing self-limiting beliefs” and how these beliefs show up in our everyday livesFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gabor-mate-archiveWhere to find Gabor Maté online: Website: drgabormate.comSocial Media:TwitterFacebookInstagramYouTubeBooks Mentioned:The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic CultureWhen the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease ConnectionScattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit DisorderIn the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than PeersOther Resources Mentioned:The Wisdom of Trauma Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated with Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A Prospective and Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort StudyDecrease in depression symptoms is associated with longer survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer: a secondary analysisMarital Status, Marital Strain, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Total Mortality: The Framingham Offspring StudyGeorge EngelHow spanking may affect brain development in childrenThe Trauma of Everyday Life by Dr. Mark EpsteinIntraConnected: MWe (Me + We) as the Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging by Dr. Dan SiegelA.
