Editor's note: Serena Orr, MD, is a clinician-scientist and assistant professor of pediatrics and clinical neurosciences at the University of Calgary, and an attending pediatric neurologist at the Alberta Children's Hospital (ACH), where she directs the pediatric headache program in the section of neurology. Dr. Orr's research focuses on improving the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents and also aims to identify biopsychosocial predictors of outcomes in children and adolescents with migraine, and how these may be used to apply stratified care models to migraine prevention.  In this MSC podcast she speaks with MSC freelance writer Kayt Sukel to discuss her path to pediatric migraine research, some of her recent work on the role of anxiety and depression in kids with migraine, how adverse childhood experiences affect pediatric migraine, as well as the need for more funding of headache research.

Our world is hyper-sexualized, why is that? This week, Kent looks at the created order when it comes to sex and helps us explore a theological way of understanding our experience that makes sense of both the science and the spirit.When you give at Harmony, you are investing in life change and are Advancing the Kingdom! GIVE TODAY, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give . ------------------- Sermon Notes Slide Key: Sermons always start with “OPENING ILLUSTRATION:” and end with “CLOSING ILLUSTRATION:"All scriptures are NIV unless otherwise notedBold = Slide textBold Red = Scriptures (please reflect formatting of scripture on slides, i.e. - underlines, italics, etc.)“b" or “B” on a line by itself = Slide break/New slideBold ALL CAPS WORDS = heading to be ignored[some text] = programming notes to be paid attention to OPENING ILLUSTRATION: When I was in middle school was the first time I had a friend that told me he had had sex.  I remember it pretty vividly because none of us knew anything about that world and he told us everything there was to know.  He told us that this girl had spent the night and they had sex….  He said, “she slept on the top bunk and slept on the bottom bunk, it was pretty awesome”  Ha… For a long time, I thought sex meant you were just sleeping in bunk beds… It's kind of funny, but I have a feeling that more of us have messed-up ideas about sex than we know. Today, I want to take a stab at what sex is and what it was designed for and I want to do it in a different way Normally, I build an argument in my sermon and then try and give you some kind of answer/resolution. Today, I want to come more direct and break it into two parts.  This is my Ted Talk on Sex… Part IThe Creators Intention - Why Sex [Next Week] Part 2What does this mean for us? - The Implications so, let's jump into this. I know some of you may not believe in a creator - you may believe we just evolved over time to be the way we are, but just for argument's sake, let's look at what has been the traditional idea of Christianity and Judaism and see how it lines up with our actual science of physicality In the book of Genesis, there is this description of God creating our physical reality God creates man - Adam the first man- God forms together some clay into the shape of a man and breathes into it- muscles and sinew form, tendons and bones, brain matter fires up and man is born- God sends Adam on this safari to name animals and to allow him to see if there is any kinship between them- but it's found that none of the animals can end the loneliness of Adam- Genesis 2 tells us the story of what God does next Genesis 2:21-24 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs[a] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[b] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;  she shall be called ‘woman,' for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. I want you to notice something, there is no marriage ceremony mentioned here, there is no “vow” taken The created order was that man would leave his family of origin and unite in one flesh with a woman - what we would call a wife Paul will reference this union years later when talking about how careless the Corinthian people were when it came to sex…Listen to his words… They lived in a culture where you could go to a pagan temple and worship, you would pay to have sex with a temple prostitute…   he says this 1 Corinthians 6:16 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[b] Paul is making the argument that when you have sex with a person you become one with their body - you enact the biblical idea of marriage This is SIGNIFICANT for us to understand The idea of one flesh occurs when a man and woman have sex. This is what it means to be “married” Marrying means to unite two things into one ILLUSTRATION: Think of a woodworker marrying two pieces of wood together - typically they are creating a union of the two pieces.  Or marrying a certain chicken dish with a particular wine.   I'm trying to take you back to the original meaning of these things I know this is a lot to take in, your mind may be spinning about the implications of this - especially with the way our culture treats this… What's interesting is Science knows that our bodies are even created for this kind of union or bond when having sex… When your body reaches the peak in sexual activity your brain releases a concoction of chemical hormones. Oxytocin - the “bonding” hormone, this is the hormone that mothers and babies release when breastfeeding that causes them to feel a deep connectedness. Dopamine - the pleasure and learning chemical, your body is creating a reference to where it can find deep pleasureProlactin - this hormone gives you a sense of satisfaction Serotonin - this hormone produces a good mood Oxytocin is so powerful that, for women, their brains will continue to produce it for a period of time after finishing having sex. While researching this, I came across this quote that I thought was interesting… This is at least one secular - non-biblical conclusion: "If you think about it objectively, the idea of risking your life and health to birth what's basically a parasite living in you for nine months, which you then have to raise for the next decade, is a lot of work. Mother Nature may be 'tricking' us to make sure the species doesn't die out," -Kayt Sukel (psychologist). In other words - if you look at it from the outside, it looks like there is some mechanism trying to get us to want to have sex. I would differentiate and include stay in a committed relationship Our world has dissected relationships from sex-Sex is demoted to a purely physical act/urge-but that's not even what the science says If it was just dopamine, prolactin, and serotonin then we could say what is happening in your body is connecting you to sex alone. But when you add Oxytocin, it means that your body is trying to connect you to sex WITH the person you are having sex with. But our world doesn't have a framework for this. The Implications of this are huge… CLOSING ILLUSTRATION: What has your sexual history and past been?  I know, most of us have grown up in this hyper-sexualized culture that views sex as no more than a bodily function.  Not a device for connecting each other.  So, most of us have a sexual history, that when we start to put some theology behind it, can make us feel incredibly guilty.  Can I leave you today with a passage from the Gospels? Jesus is at a well, thirsty for a drink, in the middle of the hot summer sun when a woman comes up to the well to get water - the time of day alone lets us know that by all religious rights of the day, she would have been an outcast - maybe even considered a prostitute.  Jesus asks for a drink and they have this beautiful dialog.   Listen to the dialog Jesus has with this woman…John 4:16-1716 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17 “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” This woman had, at best, a colorful sexual past.  Jesus doesn't ignore it, but neither does He make it the thrust of his conversation.  I actually think He brings it up because it was the thing that brought her shame.  I think he brought it up, so He could bring healing to it.  Because He had just told her Vs 10 & 13-14 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Jesus was there to bring her healing, not to berate her for her failings.  Today, if this sermon has reminded you of some pain from your past, could I just offer you what Jesus offered?  I think sometimes He reminds us of our pain, so He can bring healing.  He wants to give you living water, not leave you stuck in shame…  Come to Him today!--------------------------

Fear isn't bad neither is a risk. What is a risk you have taken recently, that was beyond your comfort zone? How many times have you wanted to start something but there were so many “what-if's” you decided to not take the risk? Why do we allow ourselves to let fear control our choices? Join me on this Thoughtful Thursday as I take a look at risk and rewardReplacing Fear with Flexibility: https://fi180.com/2017/10/04/replacing-fear-flexibility/The Incredible Power of Taking Risks in Life: https://www.thedailypositive.com/taking-risks-in-life/31 Risks Everyone Needs to Take This Month: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/risk-taking-examples-fun-36653010I've also got a couple of books to get you in the risk-taking mood:Failing Up: How to Take Risks, Aim Higher, and Never Stop Learning by Leslie Odom, Jr.The Art of Risk: New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance by Kayt Sukel

Kayt Sukel, author of the book, The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance (https://amzn.to/2HjkQoE) joins me to explain how important it is to take risks but also how to be a better risk taker so that you win more than you lose – and also how to learn from the risks that fail.

In this episode of Unlocking Mindset, Kayt Sukel and I discuss her latest book, The Art of Risk, as it pertains to mindset and human behavior.

“Our brains are in the prediction business” - Kayt SukelOn today’s episode, Kayt Sukel, author of “The Art of RISK: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance” gives us a glimpse into how our brains process and analyze risk. She also shares several other factors that influence our perception of risk, our ability to assess risk, and the one thing that combats risk. You’ll notice a little fan geeking on my part because Kayt shares her work in an engaging and entertaining way. This is the podcast I wished could have been done in person over wine. Nevertheless, enjoy it!michaelwkithcart.com/podcastShow notes:The Art of RISK: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance

  This is a conversation about uncertainty and decision-making - for certain – but it's also one about culture, travel, books, writing, the way women are treated, justice, and career transitions. And it's also a super fun one. My guest is Tikiri Herath. Tikiri is an award-winning author who has written four fiction (thrillers) and four non-fiction books that focus on overcoming fears and uplifting women around the world. Tikiri's books and work are reflective of her own very interesting background. She was born in Sri Lanka, considers herself to be Zambian, and lived in seven countries growing up including Canada and apartheid-era South Africa. Throughout her upbringing and travels, she became very drawn to the way women are treated around the world and in the different countries in which she has lived. She has woven these experiences into her work. Tikiri's first career was as a civil servant for the Canadian government. In fact, she worked in Brussels as part of Canada's mission to NATO, amongst other things. However, this wasn't where her passion was. So, as you'll hear she “risk managed the hell” out of her career to become the successful author she is now. There are some wonderful lessons in all of that about fear, decision-making and uncertainty (and you can even get a free copy of one Tikiri's books on this topic The Fear Buster). We also cover off why Tikiri thinks the predominantly Asian concept of “saving face” is problematic as well as why a number of cultural traditions need to be discarded. There is loads of other great stuff in between!

Sexual attraction starts with a whiff of signals that gets your motor running. Your nose -- and brain – are behind your gender, sexual orientation, and choice of partner. Kayt Sukel explains how the brain rules when it comes to sex and love.

Kayt Sukel talks to Shannon Fisher about her book, This is Your Brain on Sex: the Science Behind the Search for Love. The book is an in-depth exploration of the neurobiology that contributes to human bonding and feelings of love, especially romantic love. Both informative and entertaining, This is Your Brain on Sex offers a glimpse into why we behave the way we do - and the amount control we actually have over our own actions and reactions to stimuli. Based in Houston, TX, Kayt's work has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, New Scientist, and National Geographic Traveler. She has also just released a new book in a similar vein to the one discussed in this show, The Art of Risk: the New Science of Courage, Caution & Chance. The Authentic Woman with Shannon Fisher explores personal, political, and societal perspectives of the female experience in America. The show delves deeply into the worlds of women writers, artists, celebrities, and community leaders and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.

“Our deepest (and fastest) yearnings can be tempered by reason and experience; our more prudent judgments softened by desire and need.” ― Kayt Sukel Philosophers, theologians, artists, and boy bands have waxed poetic about the nature of love for centuries. But what does the brain have to say about the way we carry our hearts? As technology advances to allow us a more focused examination of the intricate dance our brains do with our environment, we can use science to shed new light on humanity's oldest question, “What is this thing called love?” Today's guest dived into the latest neuroscientific research concerning love and sex and what it really means for the way we approach our relationships. Her book This Is Your Brain on Sex: The Science Behind the Search for Love/Dirty Minds: How Our Brains Influence Love, Sex, and Relationships asks age-old questions such as: What parts of the brain are involved with love? Is there really a “seven-year itch”? Why do good girls like bad boys? Is monogamy practical? How thin is that line between love and hate? Do mothers have a stronger bond with children than their fathers do? How do our childhood experiences affect our emotional control and who is at risk for love addiction?

What happens to our brains when we take risks? How do successful risk-takers process information? Do they look at risk any differently? What does the science of risk-taking tell us? Meet Kayt Sukel, author of The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution and Chance.  Kayt is a science writer and traveller who “has no problem tacking interesting and often taboo subjects spanning love, sex, neuroscience and politics.”  Her work has appeared in Atlantic Monthly, New Scientist, The Washington Post and National Geographic Traveller. In the Art of Risk, Kayt studies “risk-takers” of various vocations – from base jumpers to fire fighters. We talk about this, and the conversation brings up loads of great stuff around diligent practice and hard work, decision-making, and how we can all get better at taking risks.  But – there's more to Kayt than this.  According to Forbes magazine, Kayt “knows more about sex than you or I do.”  Her first book is titled Dirty Minds: How Our Brains Influence Love, Sex, and Relationships (retitled This is Your Brain on Sex: The Science Behind the Search for Love).  So, as you would do with anyone you speak to the first time, we talk about sex – that's the beauty of podcasting! Along the way we touch on a range of fascinating topics: Pop science; How the brain works; The nervous system; Decision-making; Gut feelings; And much more!

CJ interviews author Kayt Sukel on “The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and Chance” on how the brain learns how to make optimal decisions. Learn how our brain works in conjunction with our emotions, intuition, and experience to reduce risk and make better decisions.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's 4PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Author & researcher Kayt Sukel explains how to raise your kid to become a better risk taker.

The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution & Chance SHOW GUEST: Kayt Sukel Are risk-takers born or made? This is the question that set Kayt Sukel on a quest to find the answers. "Simply put, I want to know how successful risk-takers are doing it - what particular blend of biology and experience held within allows us to know what risks are worth taking and what risks should be left alone," writes Sukel. In Sukel's new book, THE ART OF RISK, chapter by chapter, in a warm and readable style, she uses cutting-edge research to illustrate which parts of the brain drive behavior, the different genes and neurochemicals at play, and the complex interplay of biological and environmental variables that may give some the upper hand in risky situations, whether in the boardroom, on the playing field, in the classroom or on the military frontlines. At the same time, Sukel spotlights individuals whose life stories show how they have learned to take risks and make them work to their advantage, from a professional poker player to a female firefighter to a top neurosurgeon. Come explore the possibilities as Sukel explains how to make the most of risk, how to be a better risk-taker and most of all, how to reset our definition of risk Marrying the knowledge of science with the wisdom of those who have played the game and won, THE ART OF RISK gives us advice that could make the difference between missing out and making it big.

Kayt joins Mark Alyn on Late Night Health to discuss her adventurous life and how risk taking has always been a major part of living for her.While not advocating Bungee jumping for everyone, Kayt does say risk is a major part of life. Just walking across the street there is the possibility of being hit by a bus. Staying in doors and never leaving your home involves the risk of your roof falling down on you. Kayt relays a story about being with a friend when a car crashed into the front of the house. As we've said, risk is simply part of life.The idea is to take risks that work to your advantage and actually your enhance life. Mark and Kayt discuss risk taking that can be the difference between missing out and making it big. To understand how to take risk, you need to set a personal definition. Everybody has a different view of what risk is all about. Teenagers are more apt to risk, because it's part of learning and growing up. Older folk may not risk financially like they did when they were younger. Women, when not financial in nature, may be bigger risk takers than men.Combining science with stories of risk takers, Kayt helps people reshape their lives by examining their lives and assessing how risk can work to make their lives better.Kayt admits her risk taking has slowed down.

Why is it important to take risks, and how can we take more risks and get outside our comfort zone? Science journalist and writer Kayt Sukel has no problem tackling interesting (and often taboo) subjects spanning love, sex, neuroscience, travel and politics. In fact, she's so dedicated to the cause that in the writing of her last book, she had an orgasm in an MRI scanner for a Guardian article. (I won't put the link, I'm sure you can google that one yourself). Her work has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, the New Scientist, USA Today, the Washington Post and many others. And now, she's tackling risk.  

Why it's important to take risks, and how we can take more risks and get outside our comfort zone more? With awesome writer for Atlantic Monthly, the New Scientist, USA Today, the Washington Post, Kayt Sukel.

Are risk-takers born or made? Why are some more willing to go out on a limb (so to speak) than others? How do we weigh the value of opportunities large or small that may have the potential to change the course of our lives?   These are just a few of the questions that author Kayt Sukel tackles, applying the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to compelling real-world situations. Building on a portfolio of work that has appeared in such publications as Scientific American, Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, and more, Sukel offers an in-depth look at risk-taking and its role in the many facets of life that resonates on a personal level. Smart, progressive, and truly enlightening, The Art of Risk blends riveting case studies and hard-hitting science to explore risk-taking and how it impacts decision-making in work, play, love  We were joined by Kayt Sukel author of the book The Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution & Chance.

Stuck? Bored? Tired of always doing and saying the right thing? We're shaking things up on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Wednesday, May 18, 3 pm ET when joining Halli at her table are two women who themselves have taken some chances with their lives: Kayt Sukel author of THE ART OF RISK and Beth Thomas Cohen, author of DROP THE ACT, IT'S EXHAUSTING!Inspired by her own “midlife crisis” in which she realized that she, the once enthusiastic risk taker no longer was, author Kate Sukel decided to find out why. The result is her new, fascinating book THE ART OF RISK, THE NEW SCIENCE OF COURAGE, CAUTION, & CHANCE. Sukel who earned a B.S. in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon University and an M.S. in engineering psychology from the Georgia Institute of Technology is also the author of THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SEX: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SEARCH FOR LOVE. Her work has appeared in Atlantic Monthly, New Scientist, USA Today, and The Washington Post.Once the woman who prided herself on being perfect in every way, in DROP THE ACT, IT'S EXHAUSTING author, PR guru, and fashionista Beth Thomas Cohen asks women to embrace the imperfections in their lives, and to air their “improper” thoughts about all aspects of their lives. She says that by not being ashamed or apologetic about how we really feel, women will become more aware of who they are and more accepting of themselves and one another.There is an art to risk taking and there is freedom beyond political correctness. Let's change it up on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Wednesday, May 18, 3 pm ET. For more about the show visit Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.

On today's show, I talk with a passionate traveler and science writer from Houston, Texas by the name of Kayt Sukel. Some of the topics that she often talks about range from love to politics to sex to neuroscience and everything in between. Her work has appeared in USA Today, The Washington Post, National Geographic Traveler, and several other well-known publications. She's the author of two books, she does public speaking at events like TEDMED, she claims to overshare on Twitter, and if you asked Forbes, they would say she knows more about sex than you do.

And there are very few decisions that we make that don't have some amount of uncertainty involved.Neurosurgery is really a series of adjustments, but then again, most of life is.What did I learn here so I can do this better next time? What is the lesson? How can I apply this so I can actually achieve whatever long term goal I've set for myself?If you want to get better at dealing with risk, you gotta take more risks.You're never gonna improve or gain new skills unless you're willing to take a risk.Success can eliminate as many options as failure. -Tom RobbinsEasier isn't always better.I think a lot of times, we mistake fear with intensity.The brain puts a lot of stock in novelty. That pushes our limits and yet it gives us a lot of rewards as well.I think when you understand that ultimately any decision is one big calculation in your brain, and that risk is a part of it, a calculated risk makes sense.Success to me isn't just about making money, it's about carving out a life for yourself that has wealth in all aspects of it.Risking without regrets means making time to go after the things that you've always dreamed of.Risk is not a one size fits all approach.And as you're making those little small changes, over time, they make it so you're more comfortable with the big ones.What would you do if you weren't afraid?What's the worst that can happen?Connect with Kayt:Website: kaytsukel.comTwitter: @kaytsukelFacebook: facebook.com/KaytSukelPeople, websites, & products mentioned:This Is Your Brain on Sex: The Science Behind the Search for LoveThe Art of Risk: The New Science of Courage, Caution, and ChancefMRI orgasmForbes articleSteph DavisTom RobbinsTEDMED talk - Eliminating Penalties for Playing Out of BoundsThink Again – a Big Think PodcastDeath, Sex & Money PodcastSerial PodcastAdulthood Made Easy PodcastReply All PodcastThinking, Fast and SlowThe Invisible Gorilla: How Our Intuitions Deceive UsSecret Sex Lives: A Year on the Fringes of American SexualityUnbound Book FestivalThanks again for listening and reading the show notes.

Kayt Sukel, science writer and author of "THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SEX" and Gail Marsh, LICSW, Sex Therapist, join us as we uncover how the brain deals with love and sex, how our past and present behavior affects the kind of sex we have, and what happens to our relationships when our brains are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Why do we fall in love? What is it about the circuitry and neurochemistry of the brain that enables this behavior? On this program, Kayt Sukel discussed Diry Minds.
