** Contains topics not suitable for all * Latest up from Spoken Label (Author Chat Podcast) Podcast features the wonderful Judy Foreman. Judy is the author of “A Nation in Pain” (2014), “The Global Pain Crisis” (2017), and “Exercise is Medicine” (2020), all published by Oxford University Press, and “CRISPR'd” from Skyhorse Publishing (2022). She was a staff writer at the Boston Globe for 23 years and a health columnist for many of those years. Her column was syndicated in national and international outlets including the Los Angeles Times, Dallas Morning News, Baltimore Sun and others. In this Podcast we talk primarily about her new memoir 'Let the More Loving One Be Me' which is described as "n this compelling tale, Judy Foreman reveals the terror she felt every night as a girl as she lay in bed frozen in dread, listening for her father's footsteps coming down the hall. She recalls his mostly naked body, his stale smell, his silhouette in the bedroom doorway. Worse, in some ways, was her mother's denial—her insistence that this man was wonderful, her refusal to acknowledge his drinking or his rage. It wasn't until Foreman spent a high school summer as an exchange student with a Danish family that she began to see how unsafe her own family was; it wasn't until she went to an all-women's college that she realized that women had value. Ultimately, this book shows that with time and therapy, it is possible to heal from serious childhood trauma and lead a life of deep fulfillment, rewarding work and, most wonderfully, love. It is a book about the power of emotional courage to change one's own inner and outer experience of the world, and about what matters most in life: cultivating healthy connections to other people."

Why don't we just reproduce, then exit fast, like salmon? Could aging just be one big evolutionary accident? Is senescence, the gradual falling apart of our bodies, at least partially avoidable? Can we extend the healthy lifespan and reduce the lingering, debilitating effects of senescence? In this book, investigative health journalist Judy Foreman suggests that we actually can, and the key element is exercise, through its myriad effects on dozens of molecules in the brain, the muscles, and other organs. It's no secret, of course, that exercise is good for you and that exercise can extend longevity. What Foreman uncovers through extensive research into evolutionary biology, exercise physiology, and the new field of geroscience is exactly why exercise is so powerful - the mechanisms now being discovered that account for the vast and varied effects of exercise all over the body. Though Foreman also delves into pills designed to combat aging and so-called exercise "mimetics," or pills that purport to produce the effects of exercise without the sweat, her resounding conclusion is that exercise itself is by far the most effective, and safest, strategy for promoting a long, healthy life.

Both Steve and Linda had long and productive careers at The Boston Globe. Steve worked for 15 years as a staff writer and columnist, writing about cities and towns north of Boston.

Here's a link to Rachel Monroe's riveting New Yorker story on Uvalde and its aftermath, as well as the emotional remarks by US Senator Amy Klobuchar and others at a memorial in Washington for victims of gun violence. Ellen discusses the ethical dilemma posed by the Online News Association's new "3M Truth in Science Award." (Teresa Carr broke the story in Undark and NiemanLab.)

Investigative health journalist Judy Foreman brings decades of experience and hundreds of scientific studies to her latest book, Exercise Is Medicine: How Physical Activity Boosts Health and Slows Aging. Even though we know of more centenarians now than ever before, we’re also growing fatter and older faster than ever. Through extensive research into evolutionary biology, exercise physiology, and the new field of geroscience, Foreman uncovers why exercise is so powerful. So, if you’re looking for that push to get out and exercise, this is the book for you! KEY POINTS “Sitting Kills” – sitting makes visceral fat that acts as an endocrine organ, pumping out chemicals that stimulate chronic inflammation Epigenetic clock – determines whether a gene has been activated or not Heart disease – leading cause of death in the U.S., preventable with exercise Healthspan – the number of years we’re healthy Disability, disease, and dysfunction – create a long, slow (miserable) slope to aging “Squaring the curve” – making a long, straight line to aging (minus the misery) 10K steps/day – arbitrary measurement We have more leisure hours than we think when we can choose what to do High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – helps compress exercise time Sarcopenia – not enough muscle mass Brain health – most improved by physical exercise (vs. brain games) Ruth Bader Ginsburg – Supreme Court Justice who uses rigorous exercise to help fight cancer and stay fit Falls – the leading cause of injury and injury-related deaths BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) – AKA “Miracle-Gro for the brain”; released when we exercise and pumped to the hippocampus Resistance training & endurance training – best done in tandem QUOTES FROM FOREMAN “Exercise is the closest thing we have to a magic bullet. No pill is ever going to match it.” “The ability to exercise and the need to do it are built into our genes.” “Our sedentary Westernized lifestyle of too much food and too little exercise is killing us and making us die sooner than we need to.” “There’s no nice way to put this. The United States is a fat, fat, fat country with 70.7 percent of Americans now officially obese or overweight.” “[Doctors] consider someone with diabetes the equivalent of someone who’s already had a heart attack.” “The dangers of exercise are vanishingly small." “We lose a quarter of our fitness within 3-4 weeks of not training, so…start—and don’t stop!” BUY Exercise is Medicine: How Physical Activity Boosts Health and Slows Aging RECOMMENDATION Watch this video of Jack Lalanne, who dubbed himself “The Godfather of Exercise.” Connect with us!

Unless you have experienced chronic pain; pain that is ongoing and usually lasts longer than six months, it's hard to imagine how much it can change your day to day life. In addition, the toll it takes on emotions is an added burden to bear. Those with chronic pain may not be able to live life the way they want, which can lead to depression. It's a vicious cycle. There's not a lot I can add to what Judy Foreman has written in her book, A Nation in Pain. All I can add is encouragement. If you are one of over 50 million Americans experiencing chronic pain, get your hands on a copy of this book. Our women's support group, Hopelively, is also available if you need a safe place to vent about pain or discuss treatment plans with other women who experience chronic pain. Here's what we are discussing on A Healthy Bite: Gender and Pain We frequently hear that women have a higher tolerance for pain than men. Generally speaking, is that true? "Women are both more likely to get painful conditions that can afflict both sexes and to report greater pain than men with the same condition, according to studies over the last 15 years" p62. Fibromyalgia seems to affect mainly women, do we know why? People with chronic pain are sometimes told: "it's all in your head." While I believe pain most often has a source, can we trace some pain, or at least worsening of pain, back to emotions and/or stress? Can you talk to us about catastrophizing and why it's one of the worst things you can do when you are in chronic pain? How can we learn to reduce catastrophizing? What techniques can help? Cognitive Behavior Therapy - A change in thoughts, emotions, or behavior towards pain. Distraction - Shifting or moving your attention away from the pain when possible. Biofeedback - How does this work - "if your blood pressure is high the first time and you freak out about it, chances are your second reading will be higher." I feel like this is how chronic pain can sometimes trigger anxiety. Meditation - What part of meditating helps chronic pain? (Different ways people can meditate, how it does not have to relate to Eastern Religion, Tai Chi, or SloFlow, which reforms the art of Tai Chi Chuan into a Christian exercise using sign-language and bible verses. Hypnosis - Alterations in perception, memory, and voluntary action Empathy - As a learned coping skill, it helps if doctors have it. Can a loved one become overly sympathetic to the point they feel another person's pain? Pain Relievers Opioids NSAIDs Acupuncture Massage Energy Healing Spinal Manipulation Exercise: The Real Magic Bullet Listen to Judy explain why Exercise is Medicine in this episode!) People who are in chronic pain and need to exercise: arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, often are fearful of doing so. What do we know about bed rest and avoiding exercise due to chronic pain - not talking about broken bones, etc? "To date, there is no scientific evidence that activity and exercises are harmful, or that pain-inducing activity must be avoided," says Dr. James Rainville (spine and rehabilitation specialist) p. 284. We are talking about chronic pain here, not chest pain/heart attack symptoms. If you are having chest pains, call 911 or seek medical assistance. Examples of knee and hip replacement patients starting PT immediately following surgery. [Tweet "Rest is rust! Exercise!!"] The biology of marijuana All of us are born with the ability to make both marijuana-like chemicals called cannabinoids and the cannabinoid receptors into which they fit. Why are our nervous systems so full of cannabinoid receptors? What can happen when people are deficient in endocannabinoids? Does medical marijuana work as well as opioids? What are some of the problems facing opioid users with debilitating chronic pain? What solutions? How do we move on? Adjustments Acceptance
Investigative health journalist Judy Foreman suggests that the key element to extending a healthy lifespan is exercise.The first thought many people have in regards to exercise is that it's a means to an end in terms of weight loss. But, moving your body has a much greater impact on your health as a whole. In fact, it may be the key to slowing the aging process. Investigative health journalist Judy Foreman suggests that the key element to extending a healthy lifespan is exercise, through its myriad effects on dozens of molecules in the brain, the muscles, and other organs.She explains all of this in her book, Exercise Is Medicine: How Physical Activity Boosts Health and Slows Aging. After all her research, Foreman's resounding conclusion is that exercise itself is by far the most effective, and safest, strategy for promoting a long, healthy life.Listen as Foreman joins host Lisa Davis to share insights from the book and how you can actively contribute to your own longevity.

In this episode, we talk with Judy Foreman. Judy is a nationally syndicated health columnist who has won more than 50 journalism awards. She received a Master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and was a Fellow in Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School. She is author of the book Exercise is Medicine: How Physical Activity Boosts Health and Slows Aging, and she'll be sharing her insight on the connection to exercise and aging.
Exercise is Medicine Have you taken your medicine today? What I'm asking is, are you exercising enough? I'm going to admit that for me, the answer was no. Eating healthy food is a habit for me; getting great sleep- easy peasy, avoiding toxins, not smoking, moderate alcohol intake, no problem! Being consistent with exercises - now that's been my problem! Are you exercising enough to reap the benefits? As you will hear in this podcast episode with Judy Foreman we all need to move more and more frequently. How do we accomplish this goal when we are stuck in an office or at a computer all day? I was no exception. Many of my daily activities include sitting. Working on this website, knitting, driving, grading papers: sit down activities. Although I often stand up at my desk, it isn't enough to offset continuous sitting. "Even just standing-not exercising, but simply not sitting-- would reduce premature deaths from all causes, a study of 16,586 Canadian adults showed. (Sadly, there's little evidence that standing desks help much.)" Perhaps a stand-up desk paired with a treadmill would be an improvement. After reading the book Exercise is Medicine, I'm more motivated than I've ever been to make exercise a regular part of my life. Better late than never, right? The Motivation to Exercise There are many inspiring stories of people who are exercising and even competing in their golden years. Exercise has so many benefits, as you will find as you listen to this episode and read the book. It boosts mood, improves brain function, helps prevent falls as we age, keeps our heart healthy, and helps slow down aging, among other advantages. Sitting Kills Even for those who enjoy exercise, sitting too much is detrimental to our health. Sitting for hours on end puts us at higher health risks such as: obesity and overweight diabetes heart disease adverse changes in artery function and structure weakened muscles and muscle wasting failure of mitochondria negative impact on telomeres (they keep DNA from unraveling during cell division) Sitting makes us fat because it lowers the amount of food that is converted into energy. This excess body fat then raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers in multiple ways. According to an Australian study that Foreman cites in the book, the more time the participants spent sitting, the more their blood sugar levels rose. "Sitting is even bad for thin folks-sitting after a meal leads to a spike in blood sugar. Getting up after a meal can cut such spikes in half. Indeed, standing up and walking around just a little can double energy expenditure within minutes." So, stand up and clean the kitchen, take a walk around the block, or do a little after dinner dance! The chapters in this book include: Aging Run for Your Life Sitting Kills The Heart of the Matter The Energy Converting Machine Bigger, Better, Stronger Boning Up Exercise and Cognition Exercise and Mood It Takes Guts: Exercise and the Microbiome Immunity, Inflammation, and Exercise Exercise and Cancer Those Tiny, Telltale Telomeres Exercise and Anti-Aging Pills The Nitty Gritty: Q&A Dodging Bullets [Tweet "Sitting kills...exercise is medicine!"] After my discussion with Judy, I knew I needed a better plan for implementing movement into my sit-down activities. One of the changes is that when knitting, I ask Alexa to set a timer for 30-45 minutes. When the timer goes off I stand up and tidy or do a chore. My goal is to do a nitric oxide dump three times per day. If I'm working at my computer or watching tv, I'll ask Alexa to start a 7-minute workout. I also set a series of "reminders" to go off throughout the day at which point I stop to do a number of each: squats lunges pushups tricep dips (on the edge of the couch) wall sits burpees mountain climbers

Aging may seem like an inevitable deterioration of our bodies, but is there a routine way to prevent it? Can exercise help? On this episode, Judy Foreman discussed her book, Exercise is Medicine.
Aging is one of those "be careful what you wish for" things. Kids can't wait to grow up, grown-ups wish they were kids again, and the elderly miss being adults. But do they have to? Why can't we be like the noble hydra, which lives forever (until something eats it)? It's a question humans have been asking since our species' first broken hip. Judy continues to ask it, with the added benefit of thousands of years of theory, research, and modern technology. Turns out we can increase our lifespans significantly. No word yet on hydra-level immortality.

Ms. Foreman says of her new book: " In this book, I argue that lack of adequate pain control is one of the most urgent health problems in America. In my research over the last five years, I have interviewed nearly 200 scientists and physicians, as well as countless patients, a few lawyers and a handful of government officials... I have found that there is an appalling mismatch between what people in pain need and what doctors know.
