In this episode, host J.J. Mowder-Tinney sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Skidmore, PhD, OTR/L, FACRM, FAOTA, to challenge how we view the "silent epidemic" of cognitive impairments in rehabilitation. They explore moving from traditional "drill and repeat" exercises to Strategy Training. This metacognitive approach helps clients lead their recovery through active learning. You'll discover how the START framework uncovers subtle executive function deficits, supporting greater independence for even complex patients. Learn how slowing down your clinical approach can accelerate patients' return to meaningful community participation.Addendum:This episode discusses Strategy Training for individuals who can learn new skills and generalize them, such as people with acquired brain injury. Dr. Skidmore notes that Strategy Training is not suitable for individuals with moderate to severe dementia or significant clinical apathy. For these populations, clinicians should instead focus on errorless learning and habit training to help maintain structured routines.Learning OutcomesAnalyze the evidence around attention and executive function after acquired brain injuryApply evidence-based, practical strategies to actionably improve rehabilitation outcomes for this populationSolve patient case scenarios focused on achieving community independence and participation after acquired brain injuryTimestamps(00:00:00) Welcome(00:00:05) Introduction to cognitive rehabilitation(00:02:48) Understanding cognitive impairments(00:06:00) Screening and assessment tools(00:08:50) Communicating cognitive changes(00:11:53) Interventions for cognitive impairments(00:15:10) Metacognitive strategies in therapy(00:18:00) Guided discovery in practice(00:20:59) Addressing attention and executive function(00:23:45) Real-life application of strategies(00:28:00) Building client independence(00:33:50) Engaging family in therapy(00:45:30) Impactful takeaways for therapists(00:55:18) Conclusion and reflectionsNeuro Navigators is brought to you by Medbridge.

Below-the-knee (BTK) arterial disease remains one of the more challenging areas in vascular care, particularly in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), where heavy calcification complicates endovascular treatment. As new calcium-modifying technologies emerge, an important question remains: what evidence supports their use in BTK interventions? In this episode of BackTable Vascular & Interventional, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand speaks with vascular surgeon Dr. Paul Foley of Doylestown Health about the Disrupt BTK II clinical trial from Shockwave Medical, which evaluates the performance of peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in heavily calcified BTK disease. --- This podcast is supported by: Shockwave Medicalhttps://shockwavemedical.com/ --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Foley begins by outlining his training and the evolution of his vascular surgery practice, setting the stage for a broader discussion on how BTK interventions have changed over the past decade. The conversation explores shifts in access strategies, procedural approaches, and the unique characteristics of calcification encountered in CLTI. Because BTK calcium differs from calcification seen elsewhere in the peripheral vasculature, imaging and device selection play a particularly important role when planning IVL-based therapies. Dr. Foley reviews the design and outcomes of the Disrupt BTK II trial, where devices such as the Shockwave M5+ and S4 catheters were used to modify calcified plaque, demonstrating encouraging safety and performance signals. The discussion then turns to emerging technologies, including Shockwave's Javelin catheter, designed to deliver focused pressure waves to fracture dense calcium within peripheral arteries. Dr. Foley describes how the device fits into BTK workflows, including technique considerations and its use alongside adjunctive therapies such as balloon angioplasty. The episode also addresses the ongoing skepticism surrounding IVL in BTK disease, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection, procedural precision, and continued multidisciplinary collaboration as the field works to refine treatment strategies and improve outcomes for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction08:20 - Evolution of Below-the-Knee Treatments11:10 - Differences in BTK Calcification13:13 - Imaging and Technology in BTK Interventions15:18 - Disrupt BTK II Trial Data and Results23:17 - Introduction to the Javelin Device26:39 - Technique Considerations with Javelin28:36 - Comparing Javelin and E831:17 - Future Directions for Lithotripsy Technology35:30 - Skepticism Around IVL in BTK Disease38:47 - Final Thoughts --- RESOURCES Disrupt BTK II Trialhttps://www.jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-5214(24)02063-9/fulltext

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Psychologist and psychometrician Dr. Bryan Sexton, Chief Wellness Officer at Duke Health Integrated Practice, discusses how his early quality-improvement work in Johns Hopkins ICUs revealed that high staff burnout undermined readiness for interventions like bloodstream infection reduction. He explains measuring burnout—especially emotional exhaustion—and how adding metrics like work-life integration and emotional recovery enables personalized wellbeing “profiles” and targeted interventions. Sexton describes evidence-based, one- to two-minute “bite-sized” tools (e.g., humor, awe, gratitude) designed for busy clinicians, and how Duke embedded these into continuing education with private feedback to boost engagement; a five-hour, eight-day CE program published in JAMA Network Open (Sept 2024) showed improvements, particularly for those struggling most. He outlines a 7-minute gratitude letter exercise, its research roots (Emmons, Seligman), wellbeing-informed leadership practices, and directs listeners to free tools at caws.dukehealth.org. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Assess Wellbeing Before Adding New Tasks: Healthcare workers experiencing burnout lack the capacity to take on new initiatives. Organizations should measure emotional exhaustion and wellbeing readiness before implementing quality improvement programs or system changes. About one-third of ICUs weren't ready for innovation due to burnout - addressing wellbeing first is essential. Bite-Sized Interventions Have Lasting Impact: Simple 7-10 minute wellbeing exercises (like writing a gratitude letter) can produce measurable improvements lasting 6-12 months. These micro-interventions are designed for busy healthcare workers who want something that takes minimal time, provides immediate relief, and creates long-term benefits. The effects actually continue improving over time rather than fading. Wellbeing is Contagious - Both Ways: When 60% of a team engages in wellbeing interventions, even those who haven't participated show improvement through contagion effects. However, this works both ways - negativity and burnout also spread. Getting "enough" people engaged (not everyone) can create positive cultural shifts that lift the entire team. Meet Dr. Bryan Sexton: Bryan is the Chief Wellness Officer of Duke Health Integrated Practice and Director of the Duke Center for the Advancement of Well-being Science. After 30 years as a psychologist, psychometrician and investigator, he now works with leaders to assess and improve culture and work-force well-being. Bryan has conducted and published large studies and randomized controlled trials showing how to cause enduring improvements in the well-being of our workforce. He has authored over 100 peer reviewed publications, and his research instruments and well-being interventions have been translated and used in over 30 countries. A perpetually recovering father of four, he enjoys running, using hand tools on wood, pickleball with friends, and hearing particularly good explanations of extremely complicated topics.

In this re-released episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts revisits one of the most powerful and controversial conversations the show has ever aired. This episode was too important to leave buried in the archives. Kaylor sits down with traditional birth companion Billie Harrigan to unpack how modern birth became medicalized and what that can mean for mothers, babies, and families. Billie shares her own traumatic first birth story and explains why many women describe hospital birth as a violation of consent, agency, and dignity. Together, they explore when Western medicine is genuinely lifesaving, why the "clock" drives so many interventions, and how calm, family-centered birth environments may support bonding and nervous system regulation. They also discuss common fears around home birth, the role of fathers, and the deeper question: is birth a medical emergency or a physiological process? If you're planning a family, questioning the system, or care about informed consent and sovereignty, this is an episode worth hearing twice. Episode Highlights: birth trauma, home birth, informed consent, medicalization of childbirth, PTSD postpartum, nervous system regulation, oxytocin and bonding, c-sections and "failure to progress", induction timelines, father's role in birth, neonatal breathing support basics, Western medicine in true emergencies Takeaways: Birth is usually a physiological process, not automatically a medical event Interventions can create cascades that lead to more intervention and more trauma Trauma is often linked to violation, loss of agency, fear, and helplessness A calm environment may support bonding and nervous system regulation after birth Fathers can be a stabilizing anchor by staying connected, calm, and present Having a transfer plan can reduce fear without defaulting to hospital-first thinking Parents feel stronger when they understand options, risks, and consent boundaries If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Send a textIn this episode, we sit down with Marley to hear her two very different birth stories and how they shaped her journey in the motherhood space. Marley is a doula, birth educator, nanny, and babysitter who continues to support families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenting.Her first pregnancy followed the cascade of interventions, ultimately leading to an instrumental birth. During her second pregnancy, Marley planned a home birth. However, after discovering her baby was breech and having open discussions with her midwife and hospital team, weighing up the information available to her at the time, she chose to have a caesarean birth. She proactively wrote to the hospital outlining her wishes and the context surrounding her decision, advocating for a respectful and supported experience.Her second baby was admitted to NICU with pathological jaundice, and Marley also navigated recovery from a caesarean infection.Support the show@homebirthstoriesaustralia Support the show by buying us a coffee!

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Jodi Gilman, Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Jodi Gilman, Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. In the February 2026 podcast Jodi Gilman talks about their secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial looking at cannabis use and nicotine vaping cessation outcomes among adolescents and young adults. Participants were 16 to 25 and reported vaping nicotine regularly and did not smoke tobacco. The full study assessed the efficacy of varenicline for nicotine vaping cessation. For more detail on the parent trial listen to the interview with Eden Evins in the April 2025 podcast. Jodi Gilman discusses the finding that, among adolescents and young adults attempting to reduce or stop nicotine vaping, baseline cannabis use was not associated with nicotine vaping abstinence. Varenicline was helpful for nicotine vaping cessation regardless of cannabis use. This finding indicates that co-use of cannabis may not be a barrier to successful nicotine vaping cessation treatment. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Reference for the paper by Gilman discussed in this podcast, January 2026 search: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.47799. Parent study by Evins: 10.1001/jama.2025.3810.

Minni Arko Minnawi, le gouverneur du Darfour au Soudan et chef du mouvement de libération du Soudan, faction Minnawi, est le grand invité Afrique de RFI. De passage à Paris, il revient dans cet entretien sur les derniers développements de la crise au Soudan, des interventions étrangères, des possibilités de retrouver la paix. Minni Arcou Minnawi invite les Émirats arabes unis à entrer en dialogue direct avec les autorités soudanaises. RFI : Quand la guerre prendra-t-elle fin ? Minni Arko Minnawi : J'aimerais qu'elle se termine aujourd'hui, mais cela ne peut pas se faire sans certaines mesures. Quelles sont ces mesures ? En réalité, de nombreux facteurs ont contribué à cette guerre, notamment le facteur extérieur, à savoir, les Émirats arabes unis, qui doivent se retirer du conflit, qu'ils cessent de gérer la guerre. Quant au facteur interne, il nous serait alors beaucoup plus facile de nous asseoir ensemble et de mettre fin à la guerre. Les autorités soudanaises ont, à plusieurs reprises, exprimé des réserves quant à la présence des Émirats arabes unis parmi les membres du Quartet composé également des États-Unis, de l'Égypte et de l'Arabie saoudite. Rejetez-vous leur présence au sein du Quartet ? Oui, nous rejetons leur présence au sein du Quartet, car les Émirats arabes unis sont censés jouer un rôle de médiation, de facilitateur. Or, ils sont eux-mêmes partie prenante au conflit ; comment peuvent-ils donc être à la fois juge et partie ? L'armée soudanaise a fréquemment accusé des pays voisins de collaborer avec les Émirats arabes unis pour acheminer du matériel militaire au Soudan destiné aux Forces de soutien rapide. Pouvez-vous identifier ces pays ? C'est assez clair, surtout en ce qui concerne des responsables en Libye, à l'est du pays, à Benghazi, plus précisément qui est sous contrôle émirien. Il y a le Tchad. Ce sont des pays que les Émirats instrumentalisent pour faire avancer leur projet de démantèlement du Soudan. Et malheureusement, ce projet de fractionnement s'étendra à l'Afrique. À lire aussiAntonio Guterres, secrétaire général de l'ONU: «Il faut cesser les ingérences extérieures» au Soudan Vous avez mentionné le Tchad parmi les pays impliqués dans l'envoi d'aide militaire aux FSR, mais il existe des divisions au Tchad à ce sujet, même au sein du palais présidentiel... La majorité du peuple tchadien, et pas seulement les proches du président Déby, s'oppose au financement de la guerre pour servir les intérêts des Émirats arabes unis et des Forces de soutien rapide, pour déstabiliser et démanteler le Soudan. Le Darfour est en quelque sorte, une extension du Tchad, socialement parlant, et le Tchad est l'extension du Darfour... Par conséquent, la majorité de la population tchadienne, notamment les proches du président, se considère comme faisant partie d'une même communauté élargie, s'étendant jusqu'à Khartoum. De ce fait, ils rejettent tous la politique de Mahamat Idriss Déby, politique qui a conduit à la destruction de villes entières, ainsi qu'à des massacres, des combats urbains, un génocide et un nettoyage ethnique. Je crois vraiment que la majorité du peuple tchadien rejette cette politique. Quel intérêt a le président tchadien à s'impliquer dans cette guerre ? Nous ignorons quel serait son intérêt, mais peut-être qu'il s'y est impliqué par manque d'expérience. Vous avez récemment accusé l'Éthiopie de s'ingérer également dans la guerre au Soudan ? Bien entendu, ces faits sont corroborés par d'autres sources, par d'autres pays, y compris des pays dotés de technologies et de capacités avancées ; il ne s'agit pas d'une accusation soudanaise. Toutefois, il est clair que de multiples attaques ont été perpétrées depuis l'Éthiopie par les milices des Forces de soutien rapide, ainsi que par le Mouvement populaire de libération du Soudan-Nord, de Abdelaziz el Hilu, allié aux Forces de soutien rapide. À lire aussiAu Soudan, la guerre oubliée du reste du monde et dont personne ne voit la fin La prolongation de la durée de la guerre, bientôt trois ans, ne vous fait-elle pas craindre la division réelle du pays, qu'un État séparé ne soit annoncé au Darfour ? Bien sûr, les forces étrangères qui ont déclenché cette guerre et qui continuent à l'alimenter cherchaient à s'emparer de tout le Soudan. N'ayant pas atteint leurs objectifs, elles ont eu recours à la partition du pays, ou du moins, elles cherchent à conserver le Darfour et certaines régions du Kordofan. Mais cela est inacceptable pour le peuple soudanais. L'ensemble de la population soudanaise est aujourd'hui mobilisé, aux côtés des forces armées, des forces conjointes et d'autres encore. Tous sont sur le terrain pour rejeter ce projet, et c'est pourquoi il ne réussira pas. Appelez-vous les Émirats à un dialogue direct avec les autorités soudanaises ? Voilà ce qui est nécessaire : nous exigeons depuis longtemps que le rôle des Émirats arabes unis se limite à un dialogue bilatéral entre le Soudan et les Émirats, afin de discuter de réconciliation et d'un retour à des relations normales entre les deux pays. Notamment en matière d'échange de bénéfices et de partage de ressources. Nous refusons son ingérence, son soutien aux milices et aux crimes majeurs commis par les milices des Forces de soutien rapide, tels que le génocide et les crimes de guerre. Tout cela avec le soutien des Émirats arabes unis. À lire aussiSoudan: «El-Fasher est détruite, et bien que la ville ait été nettoyée, il reste des munitions au sol» Mais que cherchent les Émirats en entrant avec force dans cette guerre ? Les richesses du pays ? Je ne sais pas. Si la richesse est ce qu'ils cherchent, ils ne l'auront que par le dialogue bilatéral. Il est parfaitement naturel que nous échangions des ressources. La richesse devrait être partagée par les voies officielles : le commerce, les avantages mutuels, les investissements bilatéraux, etc. Il n'y a aucune raison pour qu'ils s'impliquent, pour que de tels crimes soient commis, et pour qu'ils se salissent les mains de sang. Nous ignorons les raisons de tout cela. Masaad Boulos, le conseiller américain pour l'Afrique mène des efforts pour mettre fin à la guerre, comment voyez-vous le rôle américain dans cette crise ? Le rôle américain est primordial. Il doit être officiel. Masaad Boulos a rencontré des responsables soudanais à plusieurs reprises, mais hors du Soudan. Nous espérons que tout plan proposé sera acceptable pour le gouvernement et le peuple soudanais, qui souffre actuellement des Forces de soutien rapide et de l'ingérence internationale. Le pouvoir soudanais acceptera-t-il un plan de paix comme celui proposé pour l'est de la RDC, en partageant les richesses du Soudan avec les États-Unis ? J'ignore quelle proposition sera présentée. Je préfère donc ne pas traverser la rivière avant d'avoir atteint le pont. Quel point important souhaitiez-vous ajouter à cet entretien ? Les Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) sont un véritable fléau. Chaque ville qu'elles ont occupée est devenue désormais une ville fantôme, désertée par ses habitants. Les FSR sont une catastrophe humaine et doivent être identifiées pour ce qu'elles sont réellement : une milice, une organisation terroriste. Les FSR continuent de tuer des civils, se procurant les armes et les drones les plus sophistiqués fournis par les Émirats arabes unis, qu'elles utilisent pour tuer des civils et détruire des villes. Par conséquent, il est de la responsabilité du gouvernement et de l'armée de mettre fin à la guerre en reprenant et en sécurisant les zones encore sous leur contrôle, afin de protéger les citoyens soudanais.

Hvornår er noget sund fornuft og hvornår er det slankekursmentaliten i nye klæder? Hvis du har haft et forstyrret forhold til mad, krop eller sundhed, kan det være overraskende svært at kende forskel på netop det. For tanker som “Jeg vil bare lave en realistisk livsstilsændring”, “Jeg er ikke på kur, jeg vil bare spise mere fornuftigt”, “Det handler om sundhed, ikke om min krop” eller "Jeg ved godt jeg ikke skal tabe mig 20 kilo, men jeg vil bare gerne tabe 3-5 kilo" lyder jo umiddelbart fornuftige nok, men kommer de egentlig fra sund fornuft eller kontrol, det er det, der kan være svært at skelne mellem. Så i denne episode dykker jeg ned i, hvordan du egentlig kan kende forskel. Med inspiration fra dialektisk adfærdsterapi (DAT) taler jeg om, hvordan vi kan lære at skelne mellem dømmende, kontrollerende tanker og et mere neutralt, fleksibelt og realistisk sundhedsfokus. Episoden handler ikke om at tage afstand til vægttab eller det at ville øge sundheden. Den handler derimod om at skifte fokus fra sort/hvid-tænkning og hen imod både/og-tænkning.I episoden kommer jeg blandt andet ind på:Hvad slankekursmentalitet egentlig erHvordan vi kan se slankekursmentaliteten som et kognitivt og emotionelt mønsterHvorfor slankekursmentalitet ofte føles “rigtig”, selv når den skaber mere stress end roHvordan sort/hvid-tænkning og selvkritik hænger sammen med følelsesreguleringForskellen på fakta, fortolkning og følelsesbaserede konklusionerHvordan mindfulness kan hjælpe dig med at opdage en tanke, før du adlyder denHvad sund fornuft er og hvorfor sundhed ikke behøver være enten kontrol eller kaosSom afslutning guider jeg dig gennem en kort øvelse, hvor du kan undersøge en konkret tanke om mad, krop eller sundhed og øve dig i at møde den med mere opmærksomhed, neutralitet og venlig opmærksomhed. Forskning peger på, at hvis man gang på gang iagttager og beskrier sine følelser præcist og lærer at møde sig selv i dem, bliver det for hver gang lettere og mindre psykisk belastende at mærke efter (1).Det betyder ikke kun noget hvad vi siger til os selv, men også hvordan vi siger det. Bruger vi en kærlig, mild og rolig tone overfor os selv, fremfor en hård og dømmende tone, vil det kunne aktivere det beroligende system 2).Invalidering af følelser kan aktivere trusselssystemet og kan derigennem aktivere uønskede strategier (3).Intuitiv spisning, som er en modpol til slankekursmentaliteten, er uafhængigt af vægttab forbundet med at have følgende effekter: sænket blodtryk, forbedret blodlipidfordeling, modvirker yoyo-vægt, modvirker overspisninger, øget indtag af frugt og grønt, større grad af nydelsesfuld spisning, fald i energiindtag og mindsker forstyrret spiseadfærd (4,5,6).I et studie der undersøgte 372 mænd- og kvinders spisemønstre fandt man, at rigide og kontrollerede spisemønstre, der var forbundet med dikotomisk tænkning (sort/hvid tænkning), også var forbundet med øget kropsutilfredshed (7).Det ser ud til at en "alt eller intet” mentalitet i forhold til kost, og overskridelse af egne kostregler, midlertidig kan føre til opgivelse af diæten (kontrollen) og overspisninger (8).En prospektiv undersøgelse med vægtforøgere, vedligeholdere og personer med sund vægt, identificerede at dikotom tænkning var en af de bedre forudsigere for vægtgenvinding ved fedme (9).Kilder: 1: C.

The gut–brain revolution is about treating the digestive system and the nervous system as one integrated network instead of two separate organs that happen to share a body. The gut–brain axis is a bidirectional communication system: the brain influences digestion, motility, and gut sensation, while the gut and its microbiota send chemical, neural, and immune signals back to the brain that can shape mood, cognition, and even neurodegeneration. Central to this loop is the vagus nerve, the longest cranial nerve, which carries most of the traffic from gut to brain and modulates inflammation, intestinal permeability, and autonomic balance. When one side of this axis is struggling—chronic stress, trauma, infection, dysbiosis, "leaky gut," or ongoing inflammation—the other side often shows up with symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, or functional GI disorders. Because of this, "treating the brain" without addressing gut health, or "treating the gut" without considering mental health and stress physiology, often means chasing symptoms instead of root causes. Emerging evidence supports combined care plans that may blend nutrition changes, targeted probiotics, and anti‑inflammatory strategies with cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and stress‑reduction techniques to calm both the GI tract and the nervous system. Interventions that support vagal tone—such as paced breathing, certain forms of meditation, and gentle movement—may further help regulate this axis by improving autonomic balance and reducing inflammatory signaling between gut and brain. For patients and clinicians, the key message is that persistent "brain" symptoms might start in the gut, and chronic "gut" symptoms may be maintained by the brain, making integrated, two‑system treatment not a trend but a clinical necessity.
Cross-posted to LessWrong.Summary History's most destructive ideologies—like Nazism, totalitarian communism, and religious fundamentalism—exhibited remarkably similar characteristics: epistemic and moral certainty extreme tribalism dividing humanity into a sacred “us” and an evil “them” a willingness to use whatever means necessary, including brutal violence. Such ideological fanaticism was a major driver of eight of the ten greatest atrocities since 1800, including the Taiping Rebellion, World War II, and the regimes of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler. We focus on ideological fanaticism over related concepts like totalitarianism partly because it better captures terminal preferences, which plausibly matter most as we approach superintelligent AI and technological maturity. Ideological fanaticism is considerably less influential than in the past, controlling only a small fraction of world GDP. Yet at least hundreds of millions still hold fanatical views, many regimes exhibit concerning ideological tendencies, and the past two decades have seen widespread democratic backsliding. The long-term influence of ideological fanaticism is uncertain. Fanaticism faces many disadvantages including a weak starting position, poor epistemics, and difficulty assembling broad coalitions. But it benefits from greater willingness to use extreme measures, fervent mass followings, and a historical tendency to survive and even thrive amid technological and societal upheaval. Beyond complete victory or defeat, multipolarity may [...] ---Outline:(00:16) Summary(05:19) What do we mean by ideological fanaticism?(08:40) I.

What if the key to supporting autism lies in understanding the body's environment as much as the brain itself? In this episode, we explore the powerful intersection of biohacking and autism based on the experience and study of Jackie McMillan as she joins Dr. Tracey Steady Hardcastle for our interview today. Jackie McMillan has autism, and has spent the years since 1976 - a period of dramatic functional gains and losses - figuring out what helps, what hurts, and the science which explains this. Drawing on a degree in Environmental Studies, two years of premedical training, and many years in complementary health, she demystifies autism recovery, with a particular focus on inexpensive and DIY options for all ages and stages.Here are the highlights of today's episode:00:58 Jackie's Interest in Biohacking07:53 Interventions that Help with Autism and Environmental Toxicity08:56 The Goldilocks Zone09:58 Using a "SMART" System12:53 The Evaluation Process20:02 Optimizing vs Pathologizing Autism24:11 Does Tylenol Cause Autism?27:55 Social Services in CanadaIf you wish to learn more from Jackie McMillan, you may do so from the following channels:YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/jackiethrivesFaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/Thrive.With.AutismGoogle+: https://plus.google.com/+ThriveWithAutismCaLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/autismrecoveryguide______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk are joined by their first-ever guest, David Moss, to discuss his 12,961-mile zero-intervention drive across the country on Tesla FSD, the reality of the Unsupervised Robotaxi rollout in Austin, and the commercial viability of LiDAR sensors in consumer vehicles.The conversation heats up as Walt questions David, a LiDAR LiDAR Salesman on whether the massive data processing requirements of LiDAR could introduce latency, potentially citing a recent Waymo incident involving a child as a case study. David argues that while LiDAR offers theoretical range advantages, the compute wall and cost constraints make it a one-trick pony compared to the scalability of a vision-only stack.While the group debates sensor suites, David shares his on-the-ground experience in Austin, revealing it took 58 attempts to finally secure a ride in a Unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi, and confirmed the fleet is being retrofitted with new cleaning jets for the camera sensors to handle weather occlusion.Looking at the broader robotaxi market, the trio analyzes their Zoox experiences at CES, with David noting the vehicle's braking was significantly harsher than Waymo or Tesla FSD, while Walt highlights the motion sickness challenges inherent in the vehicle's carriage-style seating configuration.In Prediction Corner, the group debates the timeline for Tesla removing the safety driver on highways, with David offering a bullish forecast for Memorial Day, while Walt and Grayson take a more conservative stance, predicting a rollout closer to late 2026.Episode Chapters0:00 Coast to Coast Fully Autonomous in a Tesla Model 310:49 The Next Record12:16 FSD Unsupervised in Austin16:16 Waymo Experience on Uber in Austin17:17 Robotaxi Safety Attendants19:44 Unsupervised Robotaxi Service Area21:43 Sensor Cleaning26:05 Robotaxi, No Highways in Austin, Yet32:11 Zoox Las Vegas Experiences37:13 LiDAR48:07 Why AutonomyRecorded on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

The Psychology of Self-Injury: Exploring Self-Harm & Mental Health
How can schools appropriately respond to students who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), whether the behavior occurs at home, on school grounds, or elsewhere?

Trish welcomes a fellow labor and delivery nurse and childbirth educator, Lo Mansfield, also known as The Labor Mama. They discuss the intriguing question of why so many L&D nurses, midwives, and birth pros personally opt for unmedicated births, sharing behind-the-scenes insights from their years on the floor. Trish and Lo open up about their own journeys - Trish recounting her first unmedicated birth at 17 out of sheer needle fear (and loving how she felt like a boss + queen afterward), while Lo explains her mix of clinical experience, like minimizing interventions for better outcomes, and practical perks, such as immediate mobility if baby needs the NICU.They swap hilarious and heartfelt stories of fast labors, OP babies, and the power of a supportive partner, emphasizing how education and trust in your body can make all the difference. Trish and Lo keep it real, reminding mamas that unmedicated birth isn't for everyone - epidurals and interventions can lead to beautiful births too - but empowerment comes from listening to your inner voice and advocating for yourself.More from The Labor MamaVisit thelabormama.comListen to the Lo & Behold PodcastFollow @thelabormama on InstagramHelpful Timestamps:01:44 Lo's Journey into OB Nursing04:52 Unmedicated Birth Choices05:28 Lo's Birth Stories09:23 Trish's Birth Stories17:42 Navigating Hospital Births, Interventions, & Autonomy29:12 The Value of Immediate Post-Birth Mobility31:41 Choosing the Right Birth Setting34:59 Trusting Your Intuition in Birth ChoicesJoin The Calm Labor Birth Bundle - everything you need from bump to baby!

When Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave her Nobel "Peace" Prize to warmonger Donald Trump to thank him for bombing her country, it showed how the prize is a tool of war that serves Western foreign policy interests.

For over 200 years, American presidents have repeatedly justified intervention as 'protection' - from the Monroe Doctrine of the 1820s, Teddy Roosevelt at the turn of the 20th century, to Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush during the Cold War. America has a long history of using formal, informal, military and economic power to influence and exert control in its neighbouring countries and beyond. Dan is joined by Professor Daniel Immerwahr, historian and author of How to Hide an Empire: The Greater United States, to explore the ways in which America has exerted control and shaped the political landscape in the western hemisphere for two centuries. They examine the parallels with historic interventions like the 1954 coup in Guatemala and the 1989 invasion of Panama.

My guest today is Dr. Robert Melillo. Dr. Melillo shares his 35-year journey from athletic injuries and chiropractic roots to developmental cognitive neuroscience and founder of the Melillo Method. Driven by his own children's challenges and a deep commitment to preserving their extraordinary gifts, he explains Autism as a treatable developmental imbalance rooted in brain immaturity—caused by retained primitive reflexes, disrupted right-left asymmetry, and poor transition from short-range to long-range connectivity. Emphasizing a bottom-up, root-cause approach over symptom management, he describes how remediating reflexes, stimulating right-brain activity, and balancing networks can unlock speech, motor control, and potential in non-speaking individuals—highlighting the human brain's unique evolutionary vulnerability and adaptability while offering hope for meaningful change without erasing unique brilliance.Dr. Melillo https://www.drrobertmelillo.comYT https://www.youtube.com/@themelillomethodInstagram https://www.instagram.com/drrobertmelillo/White Board Series: Serotonin's Role in Development for Sensory Maps (not mood) https://youtu.be/Pbovstb82i4White Board Series: Basal Ganglia (Go/No-GO), Neural Correlates, & "Motivation" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTW8CSPVEGcWhite Board Series: Basal Ganglia No-Go area & Arkeypallidial Cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHZ_5HthUWsDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismFig Tree Christian Golf Apparel & Accessories, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autism0:00 Dr. Robert Melillo5:24 The Nature of Gifts & Vulnerabilities with Autism15:26 The Evolution of the Human Brain & Bipedalism; CNS is to move the living organism; Left Brain, Right Brain25:20 Functional Connectivity & Movements; Left Brain-Right Brain36:46 The Immature Brain; Autism means "Self"38:54 Interventions for Maturing the Brain & Movements42:46 The Melillo Method & Upstream Individualized Interventions47:47 GI and the Nervous Systems; Excitation/Inhibition52:21 Melillo Method55:40 Giving a Voice to Non-Verbals; Sensory Map, Somatosensory & Homunculus1:03:00 The Basal Ganglia & Motor Movements1:06:34 Bridging Clinical & Neuroscience Research & MethodsX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

You're about to hear one of the most honest longevity conversations ever recorded. This co hosted episode brings together two longevity leaders with opposing views on how long humans can live, yet enormous respect for each other and the science. Recorded live at Eudemonia, this discussion gives you clear frameworks for longevity, biohacking, human performance, and anti aging without all the tribal thinking that can plague modern health conversations! Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dan Buettner for a rare co hosted podcast that explores where biohacking and Blue Zones philosophy clash and where they surprisingly align. Dan Buettner is a National Geographic Explorer, Emmy Award winning producer, and five time New York Times bestselling author. He is best known for identifying the Blue Zones, regions of the world where people live the longest and healthiest lives. His research has reshaped cities, healthcare systems, and insurance models across the United States, improving health outcomes for more than 10 million Americans. His Netflix series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones earned six Emmy nominations and won three. Dan is also an accomplished endurance athlete with three Guinness World Records in distance cycling. Together, Dave and Dan debate the true limits of human lifespan, whether longevity is driven more by environment or intervention, and how modern tools like AI, functional medicine, supplements, fasting, ketosis, and sleep optimization compare to walkable communities, movement, and purpose. They explore mitochondria, neuroplasticity, metabolism, brain optimization, and why Smarter Not Harder applies whether you follow a carnivore leaning diet, a bean based diet, or something in between. This episode gives you both sides of the longevity argument and lets you decide what fits your biology, values, and goals. You'll Learn: • Why Dan believes average human lifespan likely tops out in the mid 90s and how Blue Zones support longevity without chronic disease • Why Host Dave Asprey believes biohacking, AI, and modern science could push longevity toward 150, 180, or beyond • How environmental design hacks unconscious behavior more effectively than willpower • The overlooked role of light, darkness, and circadian rhythm in sleep optimization and human performance • How fasting and ketosis support longevity when used strategically instead of obsessively • Why mitochondria signaling may matter more than fixing every cell individually • How neuroplasticity and brain optimization influence aging and resilience • Where supplements and nootropics help and where simplicity wins • The real debate around carnivore diets, carbs, beans, metabolism, and longevity • Why community, purpose, and movement remain foundational even in advanced biohacking • How Danger Coffee fits into energy, focus, and Smarter Not Harder performance strategies Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker dives into the evidence-practice gap, the disconnect between what research tells us is best during childbirth and what is actually happening in labor and delivery units around the world. She walks through the latest statistics on Cesarean rates, VBAC access, and the widespread use of non–evidence-based interventions, as well as the persistent underuse of practices proven to improve outcomes, like doulas, midwifery care, and birthing positions that support physiologic labor. Dr. Dekker also unpacks the systemic forces driving these gaps, including the role of paternalism, hierarchical power structures in healthcare, legal pressures, and the phenomenon of horizontal violence among healthcare workers. She explores how overlapping forms of oppression shape the experiences of both patients and providers.

Peter reveals the single most important lever for extending healthspan and lifespan, and explains how he motivates midlife patients using the Centenarian Decathlon framework. He discusses the importance of addressing high apoB and cholesterol even in metabolically healthy individuals with calcium scores of zero, how to manage high blood pressure, and how to accurately evaluate metabolic health beyond HbA1c. Additional topics include time-restricted eating, practical considerations around ultra-processed foods, nuanced approaches to HRT for women and TRT for men, and why early and expanded screening for chronic disease—colonoscopy, PSA, coronary imaging, low-dose CT—can be lifesaving. He also offers insights into treating prediabetes, crafting exercise programs for those short on time, and safely incorporating high-intensity training in older adults.
