Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to stick to goals that matter to you, but you can follow through easily when someone else is counting on you? Or why one of your children seems to resist every rule, while another lives for structure and routine? This week's guest, Sarah Joslin, walks us through a personality framework that has the power to transform the way we see ourselves and our kids. Based on The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin, this simple but powerful model explains how we each respond to expectations—and how we can use that understanding to build better routines, boundaries, and relationships in our homes. In this episode, you'll hear:
In Episode 218 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. William Hsu, endocrinologist and Chief Medical Officer at L Nutra, joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to explore the science behind fasting mimicking diets (FMD) and how they may lower biological age, fight chronic disease, and boost metabolic health. You'll hear how simple lifestyle interventions, when structured and supported, can trigger the body's natural repair systems—and why healthspan, not just lifespan, should be the goal of aging well. Dr. William Hsu is a Harvard-trained endocrinologist who spent 20 years at Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center before joining L-Nutra in 2019 as Chief Medical Officer. At L-Nutra, he leads clinical development and drives education around fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet. Previously, he served as Vice President at Joslin, leading international education and healthcare advisory efforts, helping to shape national diabetes care guidelines. Dr. Hsu's research focuses on diabetes pathophysiology and digital health in chronic care. He earned degrees from Cornell and Mount Sinai, completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale, and his Endocrinology fellowship at Harvard, where he was later an Assistant Professor. Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction and Podcast Overview Host Dr. Gillian Lockitch introduces the theme for 2025: “Age is just a number.” She frames the episode around exploring strategies to extend healthspan—the years of life spent in good health—and invites listeners to book one-on-one sessions. 2:12 – Meet Dr. William Hsu Gillian introduces her guest, Harvard-trained endocrinologist Dr. William Hsu. Formerly with the Joslin Diabetes Center, Dr. Hsu now leads clinical efforts at L- Nutra, pioneering fasting-mimicking nutrition science. 4:50 – Lifestyle Change: More Than Just Willpower Dr. Hsu explains why lifestyle interventions often fail without structural support. He acknowledges the essential role of medications but stresses the need for more systemic, pragmatic solutions to improve public health. 9:29 – Why Modern Life Challenges Healthy Living The conversation turns to the external forces—processed foods, advertising, time scarcity—that sabotage health. Dr. Hsu advocates for societal-level interventions and introduces fasting mimicking diets (FMD) as a practical tool. 12:24 – What is a Fasting Mimicking Diet? Dr. Hsu defines the FMD as a plant-based meal plan that tricks the body into a fasting state while providing nourishment. He explains how FMD promotes autophagy, cellular renewal, and metabolic reset. 28:23 – Clinical Trials: Reversing Biological Age Dr. Hsu cites a Nature Communications study where FMD reduced participants' biological age by 2.5 years in just three cycles. He explains how biological age is measured and why it's a more powerful indicator than the number on your birthday cake. 31:53 – Can You Track Your Own Biological Age? Gillian and Dr. Hsu discuss current tools for measuring biological age and where the science is heading. Dr. Hsu shares how consumers can access FMD kits and programs in various global regions. 33:14 – FMD and Diabetes Management Dr. Hsu shares compelling data showing how FMD can reduce visceral fat, insulin resistance, and blood sugar levels—attacking the root of type 2 diabetes and reducing reliance on medication. 36:09 – El Nutra's Comprehensive FMD Program Dr. Hsu describes a complete support system for FMD users, including medical oversight, apps, coaching, and lab tracking. The program is already in use in the U.S., UK, and Italy, and expanding. 39:22 – Final Thoughts: Healing Through the Right Environment Dr. Hsu emphasizes the body's innate ability to rejuvenate when supported by evidence-based nutrition like FMD. Gillian closes with a call to action: explore the tools discussed to take control of your aging journey.

Dr. Robert Joslin, founder of the Association of International Project Management Officers (AIPMO), joins us for a profound exploration of how Project Management Offices can evolve from administrative functions into strategic drivers of organizational excellence.From his early days working in his father's electronics workshop to developing frameworks that bridge academic research with practical implementation, Dr. Robert shares how frustration with persistently high project failure rates inspired his mission to transform how PMOs operate. His approach, guided by the motto "ob intus fundamentus" (rebuilding from the foundations), emphasizes using first principles and systems thinking to create PMO frameworks that truly deliver value.The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about PMO maturity, revealing that impact, not just process maturity, should be the true measure of success. "PMOs don't just manage, they shape outcomes," Dr. Robert explains, outlining how the most effective PMOs adapt dynamically, influence strategic decisions, and focus on stakeholder perception rather than mere activity metrics.Looking toward the future, Dr. Robert offers a sobering analysis of how artificial intelligence will transform project management, potentially automating 60-70% of current PMO functions. His advice for PMO leaders who want to stay relevant? Develop high emotional intelligence, master data interpretation, and position yourself ahead of organizational change curves. The most successful PMO leaders will "think like strategists, act like consultants, and deliver like operators."Whether you're leading a PMO, working within project management, or interested in how specialized functions can drive organizational excellence, this episode offers valuable insights into creating impact through thoughtful structure and strategy. Connect with Dr. Robert on LinkedIn or through AIPMO to continue the conversation on PMO excellence.Send us a text

Die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag verwelkom die lewenslange vonnisse vir Kelly Smith, Jacquen Appollis en Steveno van Rhyn in die saak van Smith se jong dogter, Joslin, wat in Februarie verlede jaar aan die Kaapse Weskus verdwyn het. Die NVG se woordvoerder, Eric Ntabazalila, sê die beslissing van die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof is 'n ongewone, geskiedkundige skuldigbevinding aan mensehandeling vir uitbuiting. Hy sê die vonnis, wat in Kinderbeskermingsweek opgelê is, stuur 'n kragtige boodskap om kinders se regte en beskerming voorop te stel:
Een van die drie skuldiges in die Joslin Smith-saak, Steveno van Rhyn, gaan verlof tot appèl aanteken teen sy lewenslange vonnis. Die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof het Van Rhyn, Kelly Smith en Jacquen Appollis tot lewenslange tronkstraf gevonnis vir mensehandel, en 'n verdere tien jaar vir ontvoering. Al drie sal in die Kinderbeskermingsregister gelys word. Van Rhyn se prokureur, Nobahle Mkabayi, hou vol dat hy onskuldig is:
Die Kaapse Forum vra die hof en die media om die rol te beklemtoon van dwelmmisbruik, veral tik, terwyl die vonnisverrigtinge van Kelly Smith en haar medebeskuldigdes vandag voortgaan in die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof wat in Saldanhabaai sit. Hulle is skuldig bevind aan die ontvoering en mensehandel van Smith se jong dogter, Joslin. Voorsitter Heindrich Wyngaard sê hulle beplan 'n betoging by die hof:

The United Democratic Movement Women's Organisation het die skuldigbevinding van Kelly Smith en haar mede-beskuldigdes vir die ontvoering en mensehandel van die sesjarige Joslin Smith, verwelkom. Die Hooggeregshof in die Wes-Kaap het in Saldanhabaai gesit en vonnisoplegging vind Vrydag plaas. Die sekretaris-generaal van UDEMWO, Thandi Nontenja, sê die uitspraak is 'n belangrike stap na geregtigheid, maar het beklemtoon dat ware geregtigheid slegs sal geskied as daar sekerheid is oor waar Joslin haar bevind:
Die Wes-Kaapse Polisiekommissaris Thembisile Patekile het die skuldigbevinding van Kelly Smith, Jacquen Appollis en Steveno van Rhyn in die Joslin Smith-saak verwelkom. Die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof in Saldanhabaai het die trio skuldig bevind aan ontvoering en mensehandel. Die kommissaris sê ondersoeke duur voort, en hy hoop Kelly Smith sal uiteindelik bekend maak wat met die ses-jarige Joslin gebeur het, wat op 19 Februarie verlede jaar verdwyn het.
Joslin Smith se ouma aan vaderskant, Rita Yon, het die skuldigbevinding deur die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof in Saldanhabaai verwelkom. Regter Nathan Erasmus het die sewejarige kind se ma, Kelly Smith, saam met Jacquen Appollis en Steveno van Rhyn, skuldig bevind aan ontvoering en mensehandel. Die hof het beslis dat die trio Joslin gebruik het om mee handel te dryf. Yon het egter gesê sy bly diep bekommerd dat niemand weet waar Joslin is nie:
Die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof in Saldanhabaai het Kelly Smith, haar kêrel Jacquen Appollis, en vriend Steveno van Rhyn skuldig bevind aan ontvoering en mensehandel in die saak oor die verdwyning van Joslin Smith. Joslin het op 19 Februarie verlede jaar uit haar huis in Middelpos verdwyn. Regter Nathan Erasmus het beslis die staat het sy saak bo redelike twyfel bewys. Erasmus moet nog 'n datum vir vonnisoplegging aankondig:
Advokaat Fanie Harmse, wat Jacquen Appollis in die Joslin Smith-verhoor verdedig, hou vol sy kliënt het nooit betrokkenheid of gelduitruiling erken nie, in teenstelling met Laurentia Lombaard se getuienis. Staatsaanklaer Zelda Swanepoel het in haar slotargumente in die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof beweer Joslin se ma, Kelly, het vir Appollis gesê sy het 20 000 Suid-Afrikaanse rand van 'n sangoma ontvang. Harmse hou vol dat Appollis bloot voorgesê is wat om te sê:
Staatsaanklaer Zelda Swanepoel het die Joslin Smith-verhoor as die eerste van sy soort in Suid-Afrika beskryf. In haar slotbetoë het sy aan die Wes-Kaapse hoërhof gesê dat Joslin se verdwyning die saak bemoeilik. Joslin se ma en twee ander staan tereg op aanklagte van mensehandel. Swanepoel beweer die kind is vir muthi verkoop, en dat die beskuldigdes geen poging aangewend het om haar te vind nie, omdat hulle geweet het sy sou nooit terugkom nie:
Kelly Smith vertel die hof van die verdwyning van haar dogter, Joslin. ‘n Regskenner gee sy mening oor die Johannesburg-metro se plan om private kringtelevisiekamerastelsels te reguleer.

A second witness, a police officer, has been called to the stand to testify in the trial in the disappearance of Joslin Smith in the Saldanha Bay Circuit High Court today. Seven-year-old Joslin went missing a year ago. The officer has been recounting the events of 19 February when the child went missing. He says they received a call from radio control to say a child was missing in the Middelpos informal settlement. He testified that Joslin's mother, Kelly Smith, who was standing on the roadside, stopped them and said her child had disappeared. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to SABC reporter, Mlamli Maneli...
All three accused in the disappearance of Joslin Smith have pleaded not guilty to all the charges they are facing in connection with child's disappearance. The trial against those alleged to have been involved in the 7-year-old's disappearance is currently underway in Saldanha Bay, on the Cape West Coast. The state alleges that Joslin was kidnapped and trafficked. The accused include Joslin's mother, Kelly Smith her mother's boyfriend, Jacquen Appollis, and Steveno van Rhyn. Joslin went missing from the Middelpos Informal Settlement, in Saldanha on the West Coast, in February last year. Sakina Kamwendo spoke SABC reporter, Mlamli Maneli
Episode 370 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Toshit Panigrahi, Co-Founder & CEO and Olivia Joslin, Co-Founder & COO of TollBit. There are going to be so many amazing benefits and advancements that are a result of the platform shift to AI. However, in this new world, many industries will need to go through radical transformation and the publishing industry is right in that mix. We even see some of these issues with VentureFizz, of course at a much smaller scale as compared to major publishers. For example, if you are searching for information about some startups in Boston, it's possible that the results will include content from VentureFizz in the results from Google Gemini. While in one regard, it is great that Google views us as an authority on the topic, it does however eliminate the need for the consumer to come to our site because they likely have their question answered. It's really not a major problem for us because of our business model, but it is certainly a major problem for publishers who count on pageviews for ad revenue. Enter TollBit, a two-sided marketplace for AI companies and publishers started by two alumni of Toast. The platform seeks to address the new economics of content creation in the AI era by reducing the legal uncertainties of scraping and protecting the health of the entire content ecosystem. The company recently announced a $24M Series A round of funding in October of last year which comes shortly after raising a $7M seed round in March of last year, as well. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics: Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:10 AI & the Media Industry 03:51 Olivia's & Toshit's Background & Professional Journey 12:48 Starting TollBit 17:46 The Details of TollBit's Platform 25:07 TollBit's Funding & Pitch Advice 31:06 TollBit's Business Model 37:27 The Importance of Advisors for Your Startup 39:12 Lessons Learned While Building TollBit 42:18 Hiring 44:11 App & Podcast Recommendations Episode Sponsor: As a longtime champion of the local startup ecosystem, Silicon Valley Bank supports innovative companies with the solutions and financing they need through every stage of growth.

Kris chats with B.P. Sweany about his novel The Sword and the Sophomore, plus an excerpt read by Tami Stronach! About the book... Arlynn Rosemary Banson is an atypical sixteen-year-old—the cool, popular outsider, effortlessly straddling the line between divas and dorks. Her forever young mother, Jennifer, is dedicated to making her life awkward by trying to be her friend. Her father, Alan, is a workaholic history professor who barely acknowledges his family's existence. Her boyfriend, Benz, the quarterback and homecoming king, has just broken up with her, while her best friend, Joslin, bears reluctant witness to Rosemary's romantic drama. But nothing prepares any of them for a Welsh foreign exchange student named Emrys Balin. Emrys looks like a teenager, but he seems to act much, much older.

“Humans are puny thing by comparison. I often ask myself, ‘why is it that wolves don't kill people?' Or it's extremely rarely. I mean, it does exist, but it's almost totally off the charts. Unlike tigers and lions and leopards and cougars and bears, especially up here, every year there may be a person or two that may get killed up here in Alaska from brown bears. There's lots of big carnivores that do occasionally cross the line and kill humans. But why not wolves? And if you look at these different predators, it has a lot to do, I think, with how they're raised.” – Dr. Paul Joslin Dr. Paul Joslin is a wildlife biologist who has spent decades with wolves and other predators in the US, Canada, India and Iran. His wolf research began in Ontario in the 1960s at a time when we did not know a lot about the daily lives of wolves. His is stories are extraordinary. He lived alone in the wilderness for months at a time, tracking wolves to gain a deeper understanding of their lives. He did this before google maps, before there were even trails in many of these places, so he created his own. His knowledge and wisdom on wolves go deep, while his work took him all over the world. I have been on a quest to understand the wolf hatred that seems to permeate the United States, especially Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, where we are currently slaughtering all of our wolves, but it's not just here, wolf hatred is global – as humans everywhere seem to abhor these remarkable animals. So, I asked Paul to come on the show and give his two cents as to why so many humans fear and hate an animal that does almost zero harm to us.

I mean, you watch the big President, the big leader, give a speech on television — the television could be monitoring you and knowing whether you're angry or not just by analyzing the cues.” MacDonald Brainwashed (Tom words of wisdom) – The Rap Eating almonds daily boosts exercise recovery molecule by 69% among ‘weekend warriors' Appalachian State University, January 6, 2023 For those who exercise regularly, eating almonds each day might be the ideal new year's resolution. A randomized controlled trial in Frontiers in Nutrition showed that female and male participants who ate 57g almonds daily for one month had more of the beneficial fat 12,13-dihydroxy-9Z-octadecenoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) in their blood immediately after a session of intense exercise than control participants. This molecule, a so-called oxylipin (oxidized fat) is synthetized from linoleic acid by brown fat tissue, and has a beneficial effect on metabolic health and energy regulation. Corresponding author Dr. David C Nieman, a professor and director of the Appalachian State University Human Performance Laboratory at the North Carolina Research Campus, said, “Here we show that volunteers who consumed 57g of almonds daily for one month before a single ‘weekend warrior' exercise bout had more beneficial 12,13-DiHOME in their blood immediately after exercising than control volunteers. They also reported feeling less fatigue and tension, better leg-back strength, and decreased muscle damage after exercise than control volunteers.” The clinical trial involved 38 men and 26 women between the ages of 30 and 65, who didn't engage in regular weight training. Approximately half were randomized to the almond diet group, and the other half to the control group, who daily ate a calorie-matched cereal bar. The researchers took blood and urine samples before and after the four-week period of dietary supplementation. Performance measures included a 30 second Wingate anaerobic test, a 50 meter shuttle run test, and vertical jump, bench press, and leg-back strength exercises. Additional blood and urine samples were taken immediately after this 90 minute session of ‘eccentric exercise' and daily for four days afterwards. As expected, the 90 minute exercise led to an increase in the volunteers' self-reported feeling of muscle damage and muscle soreness, as well as an increased POMS score, indicating self-reported decreased vigor and increased fatigue, anxiety, and depression. The exercise also resulted in transient elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and MCP-1 in the blood, consistent with minor muscle damage. However, these changes in cytokines were equal in the almond and cereal bar groups. Importantly, immediately after exercise, the concentration of the beneficial 12,13-DiHOME was 69% higher in blood plasma of participants in the almond group than in participants in the control group. 12,13-DiHOME is known to increase the transport of fatty acid and its uptake by skeletal muscle, with the overall effect of stimulating metabolic recovery after exercise. The reverse pattern was found for another oxylipin, the mildly toxic 9,10-Dihydroxy-12-octadecenoic acid (9,10-diHOME), which was 40% higher immediately after exercise in the blood of the control group than in the almond group. Unlike 12,13-DiHOME, 9,10-diHOME has been shown have negative effects on overall health and the body's recovery to exercise. Nieman and colleagues concluded that daily consumption of almonds leads to a change in metabolism, downregulating inflammation and oxidative stress from exercise and enabling the body to recover faster. “We conclude that almonds provide a unique and complex nutrient and polyphenol mixture that may support metabolic recovery from stressful levels of exercise. Almonds have high amounts of protein, healthy types of fats, vitamin E, minerals, and fiber. And the brown skin of almonds contains polyphenols that end up in the large intestine and help control inflammation and oxidative stress,” said Nieman. Omega-3 supplements can prevent childhood asthma Copenhagen University Hospital, December 29, 2022 Taking certain omega-3 fatty acid supplements during pregnancy can reduce the risk of childhood asthma by almost one third, according to a new study from the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood (COPSAC) and the University of Waterloo. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that women who were prescribed 2.4 grams of long-chain omega-3 supplements during the third trimester of pregnancy reduced their children's risk of asthma by 31 per cent. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are found in cold water fish, and key to regulating human immune response. “We've long suspected there was a link between the anti-inflammatory properties of long-chain omega-3 fats, the low intakes of omega-3 in Western diets and the rising rates of childhood asthma,” said Professor Hans Bisgaard of COPSAC at the Copenhagen University Hospital. “This study proves that they are definitively and significantly related.” The testing also revealed that women with low blood levels of EPA and DHA at the beginning of the study benefitted the most from the supplements. For these women, it reduced their children's relative risk of developing asthma by 54 per cent. “The proportion of women with low EPA and DHA in their blood is even higher in Canada and the United States as compared with Denmark. So we would expect an even greater reduction in risk among North American populations,” said Professor Stark. “Identifying these women and providing them with supplements should be considered a front-line defense to reduce and prevent childhood asthma.” “Asthma and wheezing disorders have more than doubled in Western countries in recent decades,” said Professor Bisgaard. “We now have a preventative measure to help bring those numbers down.” Currently, one out of five young children suffer from asthma or a related disorder before school age. Study shows gardening may help reduce cancer risk, boost mental health University of Colorado at Boulder, January 6, 2023 The first-ever, randomized, controlled trial of community gardening found that those who started gardening ate more fiber and got more physical activity—two known ways to reduce risk of cancer and chronic diseases. They also saw their levels of stress and anxiety significantly decrease. The findings were published in The Lancet Planetary Health. “These findings provide concrete evidence that community gardening could play an important role in preventing cancer, chronic diseases and mental health disorders,” said senior author Jill Litt, a professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at CU Boulder. “No matter where you go, people say there's just something about gardening that makes them feel better,” said Litt, who is also a researcher with the Barcelona Institute for Global Health. Some small observational studies have found that people who garden tend to eat more fruits and vegetables and have a healthier weight. But it has been unclear whether healthier people just tend to garden, or gardening influences health. Only three studies have applied the gold standard of scientific research, the randomized controlled trial, to the pastime. None have looked specifically at community gardening. To fill the gap, Litt recruited 291 non-gardening adults, average age of 41, from the Denver area. More than a third were Hispanic and more than half came from low-income households. The gardening group received a free community garden plot, some seeds and seedlings, and an introductory gardening course through the nonprofit Denver Urban Gardens program and a study partner. By fall, those in the gardening group were eating, on average, 1.4 grams more fiber per day than the control group—an increase of about 7%. The authors note that fiber exerts a profound effect on inflammatory and immune responses, influencing everything from how we metabolize food to how healthy our gut microbiome is to how susceptible we are to diabetes and certain cancers. While doctors recommend about 25 to 38 grams of fiber per day, the average adult consumes less than 16 grams. “An increase of one gram of fiber can have large, positive effects on health,” said co-author James Hebert, director of University of South Carolina's cancer prevention and control program. The gardening group also increased their physical activity levels by about 42 minutes per week. Public health agencies recommend at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, a recommendation only a quarter of the U.S. population meets. With just two to three visits to the community garden weekly, participants met 28% of that requirement. Study participants also saw their stress and anxiety levels decrease, with those who came into the study most stressed and anxious seeing the greatest reduction in mental health issues. The study also confirmed that even novice gardeners can reap measurable health benefits of the pastime in their first season. As they have more experience and enjoy greater yields, Litt suspects such benefits will increase. Researchers shed light on how exercise preserves physical fitness during aging Joslin Diabetes Center, December 6, 2023 Proven to protect against a wide array of diseases, exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science. However, while physical activity can improve health during aging, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship among exercise, fitness and aging remain poorly understood. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center investigated the role of one cellular mechanism in improving physical fitness by exercise training and identified one anti-aging intervention that delayed the declines that occur with aging in the model organism. Together, the scientists' findings open the door to new strategies for promoting muscle function during aging. “Our data identify an essential mediator of exercise responsiveness and an entry point for interventions to maintain muscle function during aging.” That essential mediator is the cycle of fragmentation and repair of the mitochondria, the specialized structures, or organelles, inside every cell responsible for producing energy. Mitochondrial function is critical to health, and disruption of mitochondrial dynamics the cycle of repairing dysfunctional mitochondria and restoring the connectivity among the energy-producing organelles — has been linked to the development and progression of chronic, age-related diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes. “As we perceive that our muscles undergo a pattern of fatigue and restoration after an exercise session, they are undergoing this mitochondrial dynamic cycle,” said Blackwell, who is also acting section head of Immunobiology at Joslin. “In this process, muscles manage the aftermath of the metabolic demand of exercise and restore their functional capability.” “We determined that a single exercise session induces a cycle of fatigue and physical fitness recovery that is paralleled by a cycle of the mitochondrial network rebuilding,” said first author Juliane Cruz Campos, a postdoctoral fellow at Joslin Diabetes Center. “Aging dampened the extent to which this occurred and induced a parallel decline in physical fitness. That suggested that mitochondrial dynamics might be important for maintaining physical fitness and possibly for physical fitness to be enhanced by a bout of exercise.” Finally, the researchers tested known, lifespan-extending interventions for their ability to improve exercise capacity during aging. Worms with increased AMPK — a molecule that is a key regulator of energy during exercise which also promotes remodeling of mitochondrial morphology and metabolism — exhibited improved physical fitness. They also demonstrated maintenance of, but not enhancement of, exercise performance during aging. Worms engineered to lack AMPK exhibited reduced physical fitness during aging as well as impairment of the recovery cycle. They also did not receive the age-delaying benefits of exercise over the course of the lifespan. Nighttime electronic device use lowers melatonin levels Brigham and Women's Hospital, December 24 2022. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science published the findings researchers at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital of a suppressive effect for evening use of light-emitting electronic devices on sleep and melatonin secretion. “Electronic devices emit light that is short-wavelength-enriched light, which has a higher concentration of blue light — with a peak around 450 nm — than natural light,” explained lead author Anne-Marie Chang. “This is different from natural light in composition, having a greater impact on sleep and circadian rhythms.” Twelve healthy adults were randomized to read a light-emitting eBook or a printed book in dim room light approximately four hours before bedtime for five evenings. At the end of the five day period, participants switched their assignments. Blood samples collected during portions of the study were analyzed for melatonin levels. Sleep latency, time and efficiency were assessed via polysomnography. eBook reading was associated with more time needed to fall asleep and less rapid eye movement sleep in comparison with reading a printed book. Evening melatonin levels were suppressed by an average of 55.12% in eBook readers, while those who read printed books had no suppression. Compared to printed book reading, the onset of melatonin release in response to dim light occurred 1 ½ hours later the day following reading of an eBook. “Our most surprising finding was that individuals using the e-reader would be more tired and take longer to become alert the next morning,” Dr Chang reported. “This has real consequences for daytime functioning, and these effects might be worse in the real world as opposed to the controlled environment we used.” “We live in a sleep-restricted society, in general,” she added. “It is important to further study the effects of using light-emitting devices, especially before bed, as they may have longer term health consequences than we previously considered.” Iron deficiency anemia associated with hearing loss Penn State University, December 29, 2022 In a study published online by JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Kathleen M. Schieffer, B.S., of the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pa., and colleagues examined the association between sensorineural hearing loss and conductive hearing loss and iron deficiency anemia in adults ages 21 to 90 years in the United States. Approximately 15 percent of adults report difficulty with hearing. Because iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common and easily correctable condition, further understanding of the association between IDA and all types of hearing loss may help to open new possibilities for early identification and appropriate treatment. For this study, using data obtained from deidentified electronic medical records from the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pa., iron deficiency anemia was determined by low hemoglobin and ferritin levels for age and sex in 305,339 adults ages 21 to 90 years; associations between hearing loss and IDA were evaluated. Of the patients in the study population, 43 percent were men; average age was 50 years. There was a 1.6 percent prevalence of combined hearing loss (defined as any combination of conductive hearing loss [hearing loss due to problems with the bones of the middle ear], sensorineural hearing loss, deafness, and unspecified hearing loss) and 0.7 percent prevalence of IDA. Both sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL; when there is damage to the cochlea or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain) (present in 1.1 percent of individuals with IDA) and combined hearing loss (present in 3.4 percent) were significantly associated with IDA. Analysis confirmed increased odds of SNHL and combined hearing loss among adults with IDA. “An association exists between IDA in adults and hearing loss. The next steps are to better understand this correlation and whether promptly diagnosing and treating IDA may positively affect the overall health status of adults with hearing loss,” the authors write.
