Lester Kiewit speaks to Petronell Kruger, HEALA Programmes Manager, about the growing debate around food labelling and its impact on consumer choices. With the FDA's delayed "healthy" food label initiative in the U.S. and South Africa's proposed labelling overhaul, they discuss whether labelling products as "healthy" can truly influence our decision-making. Petronell also shares insightful examples from Chile, Brazil, and Mexico, and tackles the question of whether pricing strategies, like the sugar tax, are effectively guiding us towards healthier choices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This month, Skin Flints welcomes a European and Australian boarded veterinary dermatologist, Sonya Bettenay. Show Notes (00:00) John introduces this month's podcast, his co-hosts, and the topic. Chapter 1 – First Cut: Introducing Skin Biopsies (02:21) John invites Sonya to introduce herself, and she discusses her current work in Munich - focusing on skin biopsies, clinical practice, and teaching. Sue highlights Sonya's credentials, noting her Australian and European board certifications. Sonya explains her dermatology training in Australia and California and her involvement with the ECVD as an examiner and tutor. (03:57) Sue and Sonya discuss the challenges pathologists face in interpreting biopsy samples and the importance of taking quality samples to aid diagnosis. Sonya reflects on improvements in biopsy submissions over the years but notes that obtaining multiple samples often provides a more comprehensive picture. (05:31) John asks Sonya to explain what a skin biopsy is. Sonya describes it as a microscopic examination of the skin, providing insights beyond surface-level observation. Sonya outlines cases where biopsies are useful, such as unusual presentations that deviate from common conditions, and emphasises the need to tailor biopsy timing based on the patient's condition. Chapter 2 – Going Deeper - Steps Before Biopsy (09:15) Sue asks Sonya whether biopsies should replace basic investigative tests. Sonya emphasises that fundamental diagnostic steps such as skin scrapes, hair plucks, and impression smears should be performed first in most cases. However, she highlights exceptions, particularly for vesicular or severe oral mucosal lesions, where early biopsy is crucial to diagnosing immune-mediated conditions. Sonya explains the importance of maintaining the integrity of vesicular lesions during biopsy to ensure accurate diagnosis. She stresses the need to take elliptical samples to include surrounding healthy tissue and avoid disrupting the lesion structure. (11:52) Sue and Sonya discuss the distinction between primary and secondary lesions. Sonya explains that primary lesions, such as pustules and vesicles, provide the most diagnostic value, whereas secondary lesions, like crusts and alopecia due to self-trauma, may offer limited insights. (15:15) John asks about choosing biopsy techniques. Sonya shares her preference for biopsy punches due to their precision and ease of use, while acknowledging the importance of elliptical excisions for fragile lesions like vesicles. She explains the technical aspects of both methods and how they can impact diagnostic outcomes. Chapter 3 – Preservation - Sustainability and Practical Considerations (19:30) Sue raises concerns about the sustainability of single-use biopsy punches. Sonya explains that while some attempts to sterilise and reuse them have been made, they often result in decreased sharpness and reliability. She advises using new punches for best results but acknowledges the need for sustainable alternatives. Sonya discusses her approach to biopsy sampling, recommending taking multiple samples to ensure comprehensive diagnosis. She suggests including normal tissue alongside affected areas for comparison. Sue and Sonya explore potential innovations for more sustainable biopsy tools, such as reusable handles with replaceable blades. (23:19) John asks if separate biopsy punches should be used for each sample. Sonya clarifies that one punch can typically be used for multiple samples unless dealing with particularly tough tissues that may dull the instrument. (23:52) John then asks who can take biopsies and Sonya notes that all vets and also veterinary nurses may be able to take samples depending on local regulations, particularly for alopecia cases. She highlights the importance of orienting samples correctly by marking the direction of hair growth to aid pathologists in accurate analysis. (27:25) Sue and Sonya discuss the need for deep biopsies in cases of hair loss or deeper inflammation and introduces the concept of shave biopsies as an alternative for delicate areas like the inner pinna. Chapter 4 – Packing a Punch - Sample Handling and Labelling (30:50) John asks about the best practices for preparing biopsy sites. Sonya advises against using any antiseptics or alcohol, explaining that preserving surface elements such as bacteria and crusts is crucial for accurate diagnosis. She recommends minimal shaving in the direction of hair growth to retain valuable diagnostic material. (33:20) John asks about labelling the samples - firstly Sonya provides guidance on handling biopsy samples, emphasising the need for quick placement in formalin to avoid tissue degradation. She recommends gently dabbing samples before immersion to preserve tissue integrity. Regarding labelling, Sonya highlights the importance of clear sample identification. She discusses techniques such as using coloured dyes or marking sutures to help orient samples and provide context for pathologists. Sonya also discusses the benefits of using dyes for sample orientation and how different colours can indicate specific sites. Sonya explains how proper labelling ensures better interpretation and helps guide future treatment decisions. (39:33) John and Sue wrap up the discussion, thanking Sonya for her insights and expressing interest in having her return for further discussions on histopathology. (41:12) John wraps up the discussion, previewing podcasts to come and asking his co-hosts another odd question.
Donald J. Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States. Behind the pomp and ceremony are lessons for politicians on the left here and around the world. Labelling your opponent a racist, a nazi, an extremist, a homophobe, a sexist, anti-trans, a threat to democracy, a tyrant, and sexist won't win you an election. Biden, and then Harris, threw the kitchen sink of threats about Trump at the public and none of it stuck. The Obama's, the Pelosi's and the Clinton's of American politics did their best to paint Trump as a dystopian dictator, hell-bent on crucifying immigrants and minorities. And what happened? They lost. He won. A clean sweep of the battlegrounds. The House. The Senate. The electoral college. The popular vote. And around half of Latino voters, the highest ever for a Republican, even higher than George W. Bush in 2004. Record numbers of minorities voted for Trump. His election was of course run against a backdrop of a tough economy and inflation hitting punters hard. Plus, Joe Biden was, well, literally stumbling to the finish line, struggling to walk and talk. But the fact remains voters picked the guy who'd been labelled all these awful things because they trusted him to turn the economy around, and some also to stop the free speech moderators and pronoun police. So, what's the lesson here? For Hipkins it doesn't matter how many times you call Seymour and/or Luxon a racist - it won't get you back for the greasy benches. Labour and its allies are gearing up for a fresh onslaught of attacks on race as the Treaty Bill goes to select committee. But here's the thing - most Kiwis aren't listening. Look at the polls. The Ipsos issues monitor from late last year showed that. Inflation, health, economy, crime, housing, poverty etc were the big issues. Race relations? 15th on 6%. Those in the left would do better —and we'd all benefit from this— if they'd stop the name-calling and start coming up with serious, credible, alternative economic plans to get this country firing again. Labour was supposed to be a party for the workers. They've let provincial New Zealand down badly with economic mismanagement and energy policies that may have suited a speech at UNGA in New York, but certainly not the good people of Ruapehu. And that's the lesson Trump is giving the left today. The recipe used over the past decade of window dressing, performative politics, identity politics, virtue signalling, and demonising your opponents no longer works on the people who matter most. The voters. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Lee and Ellen look at the efficiency of proper labeling. Together they discuss: • Lee's right-brained problem with naming files (using emotional labels instead of factual) • Picking a labeling system and using it to more easily locate files • The effectiveness of visual file icons • The efficiency of having a labeling system (it might be boring, but it works) Edited at Studio D, Wayne Duncan, producer Your co-hosts: www.LeeSilber.com and www.EllenGoodwin.com
"Labelling, though it provides ease of conversing about something, it muddies up meaning." This is certainly the case for "toxicity". It's really easy to label someone or a workplace as toxic and not have to think constructively about them anymore. It's easy say a leader is creating a toxic work environment when someone objects (maybe strongly) to something they're doing. This muddiness has been on my mind a while so I reached out to Dr. Kevin Sansberry. He is a behavioural scientist, host of the Toxic Leadership Podcast, executive coach and deeply thoughtful and articulate human. Especially when it comes to organization leadership and toxic workplaces. We don't get muddy thinking from him. There were many insights in this conversation about toxic workplaces and far more:
“Despite all our accomplishments, we owe our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” – Paul Harvey Claire Mackenzie and Colin Ramsay are the visionary filmmakers behind the independent, British documentary, "Six Inches of Soil", that is pioneering conversations about the future of farming and the environment not just in Britain, but around the world. Their film follows three young British farmers who are working to restore soil health and promote biodiversity in response to the environmental challenges posed by industrial farming practices. Recorded in January this year, Claire and Colin share their journey from concept to screen and how their film is sparking discussions across the country, bringing attention the importance of soil not just as the foundation of agriculture but as a natural solution for our fight against climate change, particularly in storing carbon and water retention.

Philip Polkinghorne's defence team says the Crown's accusations against him have been an insult. The Auckland eye surgeon is accused of killing his wife, Pauline Hanna, in 2021. In his closing remarks Ron Mansfield KC says a lack of injuries on Hanna's body must mean she took her own life. Herald reporter George Block says Mansfield also gave an explanation for Polkinghorne deleting his messages with sex worker Madison Ashton. "Mansfield says that was just because he didn't want that to become public - if it was going to be this big investigation, he didn't want his extramarital liaisons to become public fodder." Ron Mansfield will continue his remarks in the morning before the judge sums up the case, then the jury's expected to start deliberating tomorrow afternoon.

Our tendency to label people & the growing trend of labelling others toxic Part 2 of a 2 part series by Radio Islam
Data labelling is a critical step in developing AI models, providing the foundation for accurate predictions and smart decision-making. Labelled data helps machine learning algorithms understand input data by assigning meaningful tags to raw data—such as images, text, or audio—ensuring that AI models can recognise patterns and make informed decisions. AI models struggle to learn and perform tasks effectively without high-quality labelled data. Proper data labelling enhances model accuracy, reduces errors, and accelerates the time it takes to train AI systems. Whether you're working with natural language processing, image recognition, or predictive analytics, the success of your AI project hinges on the quality of your labelled data.In this episode, Henry Chen, Co-founder and COO of Sapien, speaks to Paulina Rios Maya about the importance of data labelling in training AI models. Key Takeaways:Data labelling converts raw data into structured data that machine learning models can recognise.Reducing bias and ensuring data quality are critical challenges in data labelling.Expert human feedback plays a crucial role in improving the accuracy of AI training data and refining AI models.Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction and Background01:07 - Data Labeling: Converting Raw Data into Useful Data03:02 - Challenges in Data Labeling: Bias and Data Quality07:46 - The Role of Expert Human Feedback09:41 - Ethical Considerations and Compliance11:09 - The Evolving Nature of AI Models and Continuous Improvement14:50 - Strategies for Updating and Improving Training Data17:12 - Conclusion

In Episode 310 of The Canine Paradigm, we discuss the dog training Rachael Raygun Olympic scandal and its implications for both the sports world and our industry. The controversy surrounding Rachael Raygun's performance highlights a troubling trend: the perceived privilege of those with academic credentials, particularly PhDs, as the sole authorities on complex issues. However, this bias isn't limited to sports. In dog training, the divide between those with formal academic qualifications and those with extensive practical experience continues to grow. The dog training Rachael Raygun Olympic scandal shows that assuming PhDs alone hold all the answers is misguided. Moreover, this mindset creates rifts within our industry and undervalues the real-world expertise that experienced trainers bring to the table. Furthermore, we're concerned about the ongoing narrative that unfairly targets balanced trainers. Labelling these professionals as "punishment trainers" relies on emotional misinformation, which only serves to divide the community. This kind of gas lighting is exhausting and does nothing to improve dog training quality or the well-being of the dogs we care for. Therefore, it's time for a more balanced approach—one that respects both academic knowledge and practical experience. By fostering a more inclusive and open-minded discussion, we can create better outcomes for everyone, whether in the sports arena or within the dog training field.

Welcome back to Season 11 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast! In episode 335, we delve into the neuroscience of emotion regulation, a crucial skill for personal and professional success. Host Andrea Samadi continues the 18-week self-leadership series inspired by Grant Bosnick's book, focusing on strategies to enhance our ability to manage emotions effectively. We explore practical tips from Bosnick, such as labeling emotions, creating distance from them, and reframing situations to view them more positively. Additionally, we highlight the importance of sleep for emotion regulation, drawing insights from experts like Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Matthew Walker. Discover how improving your sleep quality can lead to better emotional control and overall well-being. Join us as we connect the dots between neuroscience, sleep, and emotional intelligence to help you achieve greater heights in 2024 and beyond. On today's episode #335 we continue with our 18-Week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience” that we first dove into with our interview on EP #321[i] the end of January. The goal was that each week, we focused on learning something new, (from Grant's book) that builds off the prior week, to help take us to greater heights in 2024. For Today, EPISODE #335, we are moving on to Chapter 9, covering “The Neuroscience of Emotion Regulation” which showed up on my leadership self-assessment as a low, RED score, of 20%, but again, not because it's not something I don't need to pay attention to, this is something I pay attention to daily, right up there with physical health that is listed in Pathway Four of Grant's Self-Leadership Map. If you've taken the leadership self-assessment[ii], look to see if Emotion Regulation is of a low, medium or high priority for you to focus on this year. Before looking at what Grant Bosnick has to say about Emotion Regulation in Chapter 9 of his book, I looked around to see what else I could find on this topic. We actually have already covered this topic as one of the six social emotional learning competencies that we launched this podcast with, back in August, 2019[iii] and we called that episode “Self-Regulation: The Foundational Learning Skill for Future Success.” In this early episode, we defined self-regulation as “the ability to manage your emotions and behavior in accordance of the situation. It includes being able to resist highly emotional reactions to upsetting stimuli, to calm yourself down when you get upset, adjust to a change in expectations and (the ability) to handle frustration”[iv] In other words, it's the ability to bounce back after a setback or disappointment, and the ability to stay in congruence with your inner value system. HOW TO HELP OUR CHILDREN WITH EMOTION REGULATION: We covered some tips on this early episode to help our children to practice this skill, and strengthen their “self-regulation” muscles, beginning with: Naming the emotion they are experiencing at a given moment, with a strategy (like stopping to take some deep breaths when something frustrates or overwhelms them) so they can keep working, and move forward. Uncovering what motivates each of us to develop intrinsic motivation that can help propel us forward. Taking brain breaks, or “unfocused moments” that allow for the brain to solve problems during these resting states. WHAT GRANT BOSNICK SUGGESTS FOR EMOTION REGULATION: Then we covered some tips to help us to continue to strengthen these self-regulation skills in the workplace, and I wondered what Grant Bosnick had to say in chapter 9 of his book on this topic. Within the second paragraph of this chapter, he explains the science behind emotion regulation when he outlines that “neuroscience has shown us that the exact same feelings we get from a physical threat also occur as social and emotional threats.” (Page 91, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). This took me back to working with children with this foundational learning skill, that determines future success, and the whole idea that “social and emotional threats” can impact us (stop us in our tracks) exactly as if there was a actual physical threat (like coming face to face with a bear in the forest). In Chapter 9, Grant explains some different ways to regulate our emotions, and he uses a graphic to demonstrate how to move forward, while regulating our emotions, instead of spiraling out of control, downwards, and it begins with where we focus our attention. If we focus on the emotional aspects, he tells us “it will drive us into a downward spiral” but if we learn to “focus on the nonemotional aspects, or distance ourselves (from whatever it is that is bothering us) this is the start to creating an upward spiral.” (Page 94, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). IMAGE CREDIT: Image 9.2 from Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership TIP 1: LEARN TO LABEL OUR EMOTIONS: Bosnick agrees with the steps we created to build emotion regulation in our children, as he also mentions the importance of being able to name or label the emotion that you are having first. TIP 2: DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM EMOTIONS THAT ARE BOTHERING YOU TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY RELIEF: Then he suggests to find ways to distance yourself from the emotion (he calls this attentional deployment) to give you temporary relief from the situation. He mentions seeing the issue through someone else's eyes, and I remember Dr. Maiysha Clairborne sharing this strategy back on EP 289[v] when she explained the importance of stepping into someone else's shoes when you are in conflict with them, to feel what they feel, and even stepping back and looking at the entire problem from above (outside of anyone's shoes) to gain a new perspective. TIP 3: REFRAME THE CONFLICT: Next Bosnick suggests “reappraisal or reframing” the conflict, by looking at it in a more positive way. He mentions that mindfulness can help us to “take a step back, lower anxiety, bring attention to the moment, become less judgmental about what is happening, help the brain to not attach meaning to the emotions and be open to new meaning and new connections.” (Page 97, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). He suggests looking at the situation from someone else's point of view to reframe it. TIP 4: LEARN TO REGULATE OUR EMOTIONS BY FINDING STRATEGIES THAT KEEP US STRONG, AND CLEAR HEADED: It's his last technique of “response modulation” that caught my attention the most, because we've all experienced this. Once we are hit with an emotion about something, he asks “is it better to suppress it, or acknowledge it?” (Page 99, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). He says “when we feel strong, clear-headed and have executive control, it is better to acknowledge the emotion so we can regulate it.” (Page 100, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). EMOTION REGULATION AND SLEEP: So in a world where we are hit daily by external stimuli, how on the earth can we be proactive to stay mentally strong and clear-headed so we have improved executive control to manage our emotions and regulate them? This took me straight to the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman, and Dr. Matthew Walker who recently recorded an episode called “Improve Sleep to Boost Mood and Emotion Regulation.” [vi] It was here where I learned just how important sleep is for keeping a strong, clear mind, so we can use this strength to acknowledge and regulate our emotions, like Bosnick suggested. Dr. Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and the host of The Matt Walker Podcast, gave example after example that proved that when you've NOT had a good night's sleep, things that wouldn't bother you (when you've slept well), begin to aggravate, or grate on you more. Here's what I found to be remarkable on this topic, something I had not ever heard before. DID YOU KNOW that "The greater amount of REM sleep you are getting (where our dreams occur), the greater amount of emotional detox you will get the next day?" (Dr. Matthew Walker). Dr. Walker went on to explain that “the brain chemical noradrenaline (that's responsible for our stress reaction) completely shuts off during REM sleep, and serotonin (that plays a role with our mood) decreases, while acetyl choline (that carries messages from our brain to our body through nerve cells) increases by up to 30% in some parts of the brain (and can be even more active than when we were awake). Dr. Walker concluded that the decrease of stress related brain chemicals is what makes “REM sleep was the perfect condition for overnight therapy.” If we want to improve our emotion regulation, the science is pointing directly to improving our sleep. Diving deep into the 4 stages of sleep and suggestions to improve our sleep is something I've been working on for the past 5 years. There is a lot to this, and I'm still working on improving ALL the macroingredients of a good sleep (suggested by Dr. Walker), that include QQRT, or knowing the quantity (amount of sleep), quality (fragmented vs continuous), regularity (sleeping/waking around the same time) and timing (sleeping in alignment with my chronotype). Dr. Walker dives deep into all these areas with Dr. Huberman, and if you do wonder where you can improve, I highly suggest their 6-part series on sleep. TIPS FOR IMPROVING EMOTION REGULATION BY IMPROVING OUR SLEEP: Here are three tips that I took away from the neuroscience of self-regulation, that I've been working on, to see if improving my sleep in these areas, could possibly improve emotion regulation. KNOW HOW MUCH DEEP SLEEP WE ARE GETTING EACH NIGHT: We all know the importance of knowing how much sleep we are getting to be well-rested the next day, (how many hours or the quantity) but it's also important to keep an eye on the QUALITY or amount of DEEP RESTORATIVE sleep we are getting each night. Most of us could all sleep a bit longer (or I'll speak for myself here) because this is one area that's hard to do living in Arizona. If I want to beat the summer heat, we need to wake up early to exercise before the heat advisory warnings go off around 8am, and this means that to get one benefit, (daily exercise) it comes at the cost of losing some sleep. In addition to knowing I need to improve how long I'm sleeping, (and ways to offset waking up early for exercise) it's also being sure that I'm getting quality sleep each night. This is my current area of focus that I've been tracking the past few months. You can see from the diagram in the show notes that there are some nights I went above my average of 2 hours 22 minutes of restorative sleep, measuring this using the Whoop wearable tracker, and other nights I was far below. When I looked at what was happening in my life on those days where restorative sleep was low, there wasn't anything that stood out, other than when I began to pay attention to ALL areas of sleep (QQRT-quality, quantity, regularity and timing), restorative sleep improved. There are many type of trackers you can use to track restorative sleep. The tracker I use tells me how much deep sleep I'm getting (that's physically restorative) and how much REM sleep (that's mentally restorative). KNOW HOW MUCH REM SLEEP WE ARE GETTING: Keeping an eye on how much REM sleep we getting, is my next tip, since we know it's important for consolidating new memories, learning and motor skills. We also just learned that the more REM sleep we are getting, we can say we are getting some good overnight therapy, restoring ourselves mentally. You can find sleep trackers that can help you to measure and track these important ingredients of a good sleep for yourself, and see how much REM sleep you are getting each night, while keeping in mind that “the greater amount of REM sleep you are getting, the greater amount of emotional detox you will get the next day.” (Dr. Walker) I noticed this number improved just by forcing myself to stay in bed a little bit longer, even if it was only waking up, and saying “try to go back to sleep for another 15 or 20 minutes” and this improved REM sleep, since the REM sleep rich phase is at the end of the night. You can see the purple areas on the graph of my REM sleep in the show notes, right at the end of my sleep. If I had not pushed to stay asleep till after 5:00am (my internal clock would have me getting up at 4am) then I would have missed out on some valuable REM sleep here. If you can measure this for yourself, you can find ways to increase this valuable sleep stage for yourself. I'll also add that if you can remember your dreams, especially the ones just before you wake up, you can learn a lot about yourself, increasing your self-awareness. Remember, we are working on ways to help with our emotion regulation, and it seems to me, that an easy way to do this, would be to see how we can improve our REM sleep. APPLY THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP TO IMPROVE EMOTION REGULATION: Since “during REM sleep the stress chemicals are turned off” helping us to “strip away the emotion from the memory” we can take this understanding a step further, and see if we are able to solve any of our problems during sleep. Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker went into great detail about this concept[vii] that I've actually witnessed it first-hand. They described what happens in REM sleep to be like “Behavior-Desensitization” and I had the opportunity to see the stages of this process, done by someone skilled and trained in trauma and the brain, working with someone I know well, who has experiences significant trauma in their life, starting at an early age. Using a series of techniques, the trained therapist took the client safely from talking about a traumatic memory from their childhood, (with exteme emotion attached) to where they could say out loud that the memory had lost its emotional load and no longer gave them an emotional reaction. This is exactly what happens to our brain during REM sleep and why it's mentally restorative. Putting these tips all together, and knowing that improving the quality, and quantity of sleep is linked to improving emotion regulation, I'm working hard to improve restorative sleep and REM sleep, each month. I hope these tips have given you some insight on NEW ways that sleep can improve our emotion regulation. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude this week's episode #335 on Chapter 9 on “The Neuroscience of Emotion Regulation” We looked at where we covered self-regulation in our early days of this podcast back in August of 2019, with some tips for teaching this skill to our children or students. This skill is one of 6 social and emotional skills that are finally being taught in our schools today. This is a foundational skill for future success. We looked at Grant Bosnick's suggestion to regulate emotions in his book, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership with his chart that suggests: TIP 1: Labelling our emotions, and looking for a way to distract/create distance from them to provide temporary relief. If we focus on the emotional aspects, he tells us “it will drive us into a downward spiral” TIP 2: If we learn to “focus on the non-emotional aspects, or distance ourselves (from whatever it is that is bothering us) this is the start to creating an upward spiral.” TIP 3: Reframing the emotion, or changing the way we think about it, by looking at the problem from a different perspective, can help to see it in a more positive way. TIP 4: In Bosnick's last technique of “response modulation” he mentioned that once we are hit with an emotion about something, he asks “is it better to suppress it, or acknowledge it?” (Page 99, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). He says “when we feel strong, clear-headed and have executive control, it is better to acknowledge the emotion so we can regulate it.” (Page 100, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). CONNECTING THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP TO IMPROVE EMOTION REGULATION: This led us to dive deeper into the neuroscience of emotion regulation with the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Matthew Walker, known as The Sleep Diplomat. “Sleep moves the needle on almost every aspect of brain and body health” Matt Walker Before listening to Dr. Walker's most recent episode with Dr. Huberman, I had no idea that the research would point to a direct correlation with a good night's sleep and our emotion regulation. DID YOU KNOW that “The greater amount of REM sleep we are getting, the greater amount of emotional detox we will get the next day?” (Dr. Matthew Walker). Grant Bosnick said that “when we feel strong, clear-headed and have executive control, it is better to acknowledge the emotion so we can regulate it.” (Page 100, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). It therefore makes sense to me that in order to strengthen emotion regulation, then we must therefore strengthen our sleep. 3 TIPS FOR IMPROVING EMOTION REGULATION BY MEASURING OUR SLEEP: KNOW HOW MUCH DEEP SLEEP WE ARE GETTING EACH NIGHT KNOW HOW MUCH REM SLEEP WE ARE GETTING KNOW THAT INCREASING REM SLEEP= OVERNIGHT THERAPY Finally, how will we know if we are improving our emotion regulation by improving our sleep? Ask yourself how well you are doing with this. Remember: When we feel strong, clear-headed and have executive control, (it is better to acknowledge the emotion so) we will be able to better manage our emotions. (Page 100, Chapter 9, Emotional Regulation, Bosnick). This is a work in progress for me, but without asking anyone else, I know that the research is accurate when it shows that “sleep deprivation increases reactivity in the amygdala by 60%.”[viii] To best way to improve reactivity in the amygdala, is by getting sufficient sleep. Improving all the ingredients of sleep (quality, quantity, regularity and timing). I also know that when I'm getting a good night sleep, my senses are more activated, and I can see more beauty in the world, especially with others around me. I'm more accepting of myself, and know that I'm stronger and more peaceful, which is what Grant Bosnick suggested for being able to improve this foundational success skill. This translates to the work I'm doing, looking at the world through a different lens where life becomes more joyful, creating hope that anything is possible (for myself and others). And all of this came from connecting the science behind a good night's sleep to emotion regulation. I hope this episode has given you some helpful ideas, and we will see you next time, as we move to chapter 10 of Grant Boswick's book on the Science Behind Persuading and Influencing. REVIEW In this 18-week Series that we began in the beginning of February, (after I was inspired to cover Grant's book after our interview the end of January) we are covering: ✔ Powerful tactics from this Grant Bosnick's award-winning book that illustrates how change and achievement are truly achievable both from internal ('inside out') and external ('outside in') perspectives. ✔Listeners will grasp the immense power of self-leadership and its transformative effect on personal growth and success by applying the neuroscience Grant has uncovered in each chapter. ✔Explore practical strategies for habit formation and the impact of a self-assessment system. ✔Gain insights from Grant's expert advice on maintaining a balance between strengths and weaknesses while chasing after your goals. ✔Embark on an intellectual journey that has the power to elevate personal achievement and self-awareness to uncharted levels while we map out our journey over this 18-week course.

In this episode of the Keto Vegan Podcast, Rachel explores the differences between "fiber" and "fibre" on European and American food labels and why it's crucial for accurately counting carbs. If you're following a keto diet, understanding these distinctions can make a significant impact on your meal planning and nutritional tracking. In Europe, you'll often see "fibre" on labels, while in the U.S., it's "fiber." This small spelling difference can lead to big confusion, especially when calculating net carbs for your keto lifestyle. Join Rachel as she breaks down these labelling differences, explains how they affect the final carb count, and provides tips to ensure you're getting your dietary fiber/fibre just right. Whether you're in Europe or America, this episode will help you navigate food labels with confidence and keep your keto vegan journey on track. Key Takeaways Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that the body cannot digest. It is found in the plants we eat, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Fibre is essential for digestion and overall health. There are two main types of fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Keto examples of soluble fibre are Raspberries, blackberries Brussel sprouts Psyllium Keto examples of insoluble fibre are Nuts and seeds Cauliflower, green beans Good sources of fibre in a keto vegan diet include Avocados chia seeds flaxseeds leafy greens nuts seeds Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how The Keto Vegan episode on avocados – are they vegan or not? #40 Buzzworthy Bites. https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-f4qwp-15d9cfd Penang Village Chinese Restaurant, East Preston, West Sussex https://www.facebook.com/PenangVillageRestaurant/ Host Bio Rachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.

The number of labels to describe different types of mental disorder has mushroomed in recent years. New categories include Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Prolonged Grief Disorder and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Many classifications have been created or influenced by a book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Advocates of DSM say labels help people take ownership of their situation, provide them with answers, treatments and social support. Critics think it creates stigma, medicalises normality and leads to a glut of unnecessary and harmful drug prescriptions. UK based musician Jay Emme asks if labels help or hinders in everyday life and whether it's time to drop the terms ‘mental' and ‘disorder'?

This is: An impactful opportunity to take action for animals, by today (May 7th): Reply to UK government's open consultation on animal welfare labelling, published by David M on May 7, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I saw this post from Doing Westminster Better and wanted to blast it widely for people to take action today as it seems like a great opportunity, and a great ratio of effort to expected impact. Defra - the UK's department for the environment and, in some sense, the ministry that affects more lives than any other, as the body which regulates the farming of over a billion farmed animals in England - is currently considering the most impactful animal welfare regulation in years. This is your last day to tell the government that you care about animals and support this regulation. Here's what you need to know: the government is considering introduce animal welfare labeling. This would support consumers who still eat meat to make better informed choices about the animals they eat, whether that means helping you find the higher welfare product, or nudging you to recognise the suffering you're enabling by buying low welfare meat. Details continue in the linked post. The call to action says it takes 30 minutes. Plausibly more MVP, copy-paste actions are also possible, but I don't know whether copy-pasting answers into a government consultation helps. I'm going to try and find time to do this tonight.

A new report has put a price on how much the changing climate is affecting farmers. Commissioned by WWF Cymru, looking specifically at Wales, it estimates that extreme weather events are already costing farms tens of millions of pounds a year. Can hill farming and conservation work together? Since taking over the tenancy of a Lake District farm in 2011, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has drastically reduced the number of sheep grazing on the hills, focusing instead on nature and land restoration. It's been a controversial move, attracting some fierce criticism. Labelling on pork products is not particularly helpful for people wanting to make informed choices about what to buy; that's according to what's been described as the largest study of its kind by researchers at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Sao Paulo. They evaluated different methods of pig farming, assessing each systems' impact on biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, use of antibiotics and animal welfare, and found that none of the farm types performed consistently well across all four areas.Presented by Steffan Messenger and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
Muddled, costly and unnecessary regulatory burdens - that's the Food and Drink Federation's description of new labelling rules which it says will cost food companies million of pounds. From October dairy and meat products for sale in Great Britain will have to have 'not for EU' on the packaging. Just as products on sale in Northern Ireland have had since last year. The Government says the aim is to make sure that Northern Irish consumers have access to the same goods, as with the same labels there isn't an incentive for companies not to sell in Northern Ireland. The FDF says that's unnecessary. We hear from the boss of a dairy company who says it will cost them at least £300,000.Succession is something we talk about a lot on Farming Today - for farming families where no one wants to take over the business, share farming can be a solution. We visit a couple who have set up a share farming deal with one young farmer to see how it works.And 30 million pounds is needed to improve mountain paths in Scotland - that's on top of the five million already spent on 140km of trails in the two National Parks. The government agency Nature Scot says paths in the uplands need work. But what's in it for land owners and managers?Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
In this weeks retrospective episode we unpack the term 'alcoholic'. Most of us never think of ourselves as alcoholics,, no matter how bad our drinking habits get. But for others, the harshness of the word is enough to shock us into going sober.You can listen to the full episode here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/6aAyrfpSLLEGnOoE8rtcvw?si=44dc84be101e481e Learn more about your ad choices.
