US tariffs won't change the cyclical journey in tech, with artificial intelligence set to be the dominant force for years to come the same way the Internet was, according to Rodrigo Liang, CEO of SambaNova, which builds AI hardware and software platforms. Liang joins Bloomberg Intelligence's analyst Mandeep Singh on the Tech Disruptors podcast to discuss SambaNova's cloud's differentiation for inferencing workloads. They also talk about the demand for AI infrastructure, adoption of open-source large-language models and focus on power efficiency as AI compute remains scarce.

This milestone episode is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of one of the most tender and transformative topics: self-worth.  So many physicians struggle with valuing themselves, charging fairly for their services, and letting go of guilt rooted in self-sacrifice. This episode is inspired by real conversations with courageous clients and a vulnerable moment of my own It is is a call to unlearn the deeply embedded scarcity mindset that pervades our training—and to embrace sustainability, worthiness, and alignment instead. If you've ever questioned what you're allowed to charge, how to talk about your value, or whether you're worthy of being paid well for the impact you offer, this episode is for you. Pearls of Wisdom: Scarcity is medicine's default mindset—and it's unsustainable. Unlearning guilt and martyrdom opens the door to peace, passion, and possibility. When we value ourselves and our expertise, others do too. Charging fairly isn't greedy—it's grounded and essential for sustainability. Pricing isn't about market rate or insurance reimbursements. It's about alignment, reciprocity, and choosing what allows you to serve from peace. Undercharging has hidden costs: resentment, burnout, and a devaluation of your work and wisdom. You don't have to choose between helping others and honoring your worth—you can do both, intentionally and mindfully. Reflection Questions: Where do guilt and fear show up in your decisions about money, time, or value? What would change if you trusted in your impact and led from self-worth? What would peace charge? The mindful moment  will help you notice what arises when you hear conversations about money, scarcity, and value. It's an invitation to pause, breathe, and bring compassion to your experience. If this conversation resonates, know that this is the kind of deep, transformational work I do in my coaching practice and at retreats.  If you're struggling to charge what you're worth, to feel valued, or to hold boundaries from a place of alignment, I invite you to explore working with me one-on-one or in a small group. Learn more about coaching You can also join me at one of my upcoming mindful physician retreats—they are the perfect space to reconnect with your worth, realign your life and work, and build sustainable change in community. To bring this powerful message to your institution, leadership team, or conference, I would love to speak and share my keynote, The School of Unlearning—it's changing conversations and cultures in medicine everywhere.

Relacje Chin i Rosji nabierają nowego wymiaru, a konsultacje na wysokim szczeblu wskazują na rosnące znaczenie współpracy. Jakie są konsekwencje dla świata? Tłumaczy gospodarz Studia Szanghaj.W Moskwie gości minister spraw zagranicznych Chin, Wang Yi. Spotkał się już z Siergiejem Ławrowem, a zapowiadane jest także spotkanie z Władimirem Putinem.Te dwa kraje spotykają się regularnie i to na szczeblach właśnie wysokich– podkreśla Andrzej Zawadzki-Liang.Konsultacje dotyczą nie tylko współpracy gospodarczej, ale również globalnych napięć, w tym możliwego wpływu decyzji Donalda Trumpa na konflikt na Ukrainie.Rosja konsultuje się z Chinami, nie tylko w sprawach handlowych– zaznacza rozmówca Krzysztofa Skowrońskiego.Porty w kanale panamskim i reakcja ChinChiny posiadają dwa porty w kanale panamskim, lecz należą one do CK Hutchison, koncernu hongkońskiego miliardera Li Ka-Shinga. On miał duże powiązania z rządem chińskim, jak wyjaśnia Zawadzki-Liang. Po zapowiedzi odsprzedaży amerykańskim podmiotom, chińskie media państwowe skrytykowały ten ruch.Poszła już oficjalna krytyka i to w najpoważniejszych dziennikach – dodaje ekspert. Rząd Chin wydał subtelne zalecenie firmom państwowym o wstrzymaniu współpracy z holdingiem. Możliwe, że Li Ka-Shing będzie musiał zrewidować swoje plany.TikTok i amerykańskie inwestycjeDonald Trump wyraził optymizm wobec możliwego porozumienia chińskiej firmy ByteDance z amerykańskim inwestorem w sprawie odsprzedaży udziałów w TikToku.Trump zapowiedział, że jest optymistą, że w tym tygodniu dojdzie do porozumienia – przypomina Andrzej Zawadzki-Liang.Chiny jednak podkreślają, że to sprawa czysto biznesowa.  Jeśli transakcja dojdzie do skutku, może to wpłynąć na amerykańsko-chińskie relacje handlowe.Rewolucja w chińskiej energetyce odnawialnejGospodarz Studia Szanghaj podaje, że Pekin wprowadza istotne zmiany w sektorze OZE. Dotychczasowi inwestorzy musieli budować magazyny energii przy elektrowniach wiatrowych i słonecznych.Nowa regulacja zmienia zasady – magazyny będą należały już do operatorów sieci– wyjaśnia Andrzej Zawadzki-Liang.Zmiany mają zwiększyć rentowność OZE i przyciągnąć nowych inwestorów.A w Europie budujemy magazyny energii i będziemy je budować dzięki temu, że chiński przemysł baterie produkuje– podkreśla.Chiny zachęcają europejskich emerytów do osiedlania sięChińskie media rozważają propozycję wprowadzenia specjalnych wiz dla europejskich emerytów, które miałyby zachęcić ich do osiedlania się w Chinach.Padła propozycja, aby wprowadzić wizy dla emerytów – specjalna wiza pobytowa, żeby emeryci z Europy przyjeżdżali i w Chinach sobie spędzili resztę życia– relacjonuje Andrzej Zawadzki-Liang.To ciekawa perspektywa na przyszłość i sygnał, że Pekin dostrzega potencjał demograficzny Europy w rozwoju swojego rynku nieruchomości i usług.

Today we explore the emotional toll of practicing medicine in a healthcare system that often feels like it's working against us. Many physicians are feeling burnt out, unheard, and disrespected.  If you feel exhausted by the weight of it all, this conversation is for you. This episode covers: Acknowledgment of the widespread sense of betrayal in healthcare Practical strategies for mindful resilience and emotional regulation Tools to set boundaries without guilt How to advocate for change without depleting yourself We also introduce Perpetual Creative Response, a concept from Martha Beck that can help you navigate uncertainty with curiosity instead of fear.  You can't fix everything, but you can protect your energy and choose where to make an impact.   We close today's episode with a guided breathing practice to help you shift from overwhelm to clarity. Dr. Liang teaches Breath Awareness: Notice the inhale, exhale, and the pauses in between 4-7-8 Breath Pursed Lip Breath: Inhale deeply, exhale as if blowing out birthday candles Whenever you feel stress or uncertainty creeping in, take a moment to breathe. Even one mindful breath can reset your nervous system.     If this episode resonates with you, consider taking the next step in prioritizing yourself and your well-being.  Retreats at Nicasio Creek Farm – Immerse yourself in a supportive space for rest, renewal, and connection. 1:1 Coaching & Leadership Development – 1:1 and small group coaching to help you create sustainable success in medicine.

In moments of chaos and uncertainty, mindfulness is more necessary than ever—yet it can feel harder to practice. If you're struggling to sit still, focus, or even engage in the mindfulness practices that once felt easy, you're not alone. In this episode, we share how we are personally practicing mindfulness in these tumultuous times—what's working, what isn't, and how to stay curious and compassionate in your practice. We invite you to embrace mindfulness in a way that works for you right now, whether that means microdosing mindfulness, moving your body, leaning into nature, or practicing in community. Pearls of Wisdom: Mindfulness doesn't have to look one way—get creative, be curious, and be compassionate with yourself. Microdosing mindfulness, such as taking a deep breath or grounding yourself in nature, can be just as powerful as a formal sitting practice. Movement-based mindfulness, sound healing, thought downloads, and practicing in community can help you navigate moments of stress and overwhelm. Be mindful of buffering behaviors like social media, shopping, or numbing distractions—choose activities that nourish you now and later. Self-compassion is essential; there is no “right way” to practice mindfulness, only what serves you in this moment. Reflection Questions: What mindfulness practices are working for you right now? Are there new ways of practicing mindfulness that you'd like to try? How can you bring more kindness and curiosity to your mindfulness practice? At the end of the episode, Dr. Liang leads a guided mindful breathing practice to help you ground yourself in moments of distress. Join us for an opportunity to deepen your mindfulness practice in community at one of my upcoming retreats: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. If you're seeking one-on-one support, I offer coaching to help you navigate stress, change, and uncertainty with more ease: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching. To bring mindfulness, coaching, or well-being practices to your institution, group, or team, Dr. Liang and I offer talks, workshops, and retreats.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. My setup for recording this podcast about podcasting. I never was attached to history (I'm a shame with events, names, dates ), much less of history fictionalized, like historical romances. But I ended up working on a piece of it. The event passes between 1931 and 1945. It relates to WWII — it's part of it. So , I talk about producing an specific audiod rama, covering two points, that are at really three: WHAT is the story: the chaos that came to me asking to come out; and WHY I decided to present it (and HOW:) by a podcast of fiction with history. In the end , I summarize that I got touched by the subject, it impacted me with disastrous images both in words and images. And I like audio, well-made audio content. In synthesis, the real story touched me and urged the crave of creating something from it, resulting in an audio drama. A minute of it translated on the end. Full Shownotes Why I made a 1-episode podcast about a war story by Sem Luz em Saint Louis A little citizen (that came from) outside the country, inside a prison. Not a common prison, though: it is Unit 731…' “What is Unit 731? What are you bringing to Hacker Public Radio?” The impulse and reason for creating an audiodrama, dear listener. I will tell you What and Why: - WHAT is the story: the chaos that came to me asking to come out; and - WHY I decided to present it by a podcast of fiction with history [WHAT] First, the WHAT. In the wanderings of the World Wide Web, a notable event was revealed before my eyes, a war scene that was under dust for decades, but people, even participants of it in varied degrees, came to reveal the fact; so, today, we know it. China and Japan engaged in war by the year 1931. More exactly, that is when Japan started colonizing China by the provinces of Manchuria, northeastern of the country. The resistence started in 1937, with reaction by the Chinese troops. Japan was so much more powerful, though (and that's why China took so long to decide fighting the Imperial Army of Japan). It took time, and without the best outcome, but it demanded courage, it showed force, and humanity, moral value. And this conflict is part of the second World War, that by one side had Japan, Italy and Germany (the German Reich), heading the Axis powers; who were fought against by the Allied powers, headed by the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, United States and China. Even with basically all the rest of the world against the Axis, the Japanese occupied the 3 provinces of Manchuria from 1932 until the end of the war, in September 2, 1945, making of it the main territorial base for development of weapons. The Encyclopedia Britannica explains us the following, quote: On March 9, 1932, the Japanese created the puppet state of Manchukuo […] out of the three historical Manchurian provinces. The last Qing (Manchu) emperor, Puyi, was brought to Manchuria from his retirement in Tianjin and made “chief executive,” and later emperor, of the new state. The Manchukuo government, though nominally in Chinese hands, was in fact rigidly controlled and supervised by the Japanese, who proceeded to transform Manchuria into an industrial and military base for Japan's expansion into Asia. The Japanese took over the direction, financing, and development of all the important Manchurian industries, with the fortunate result that by the end of World War II Manchuria was the most industrialized region in China. [Source: BRITANNICA. Manchuria. Last updated in January 31, 2025. Link: . Acess in February 2025.] Unquote. Now, very briefly, we come to the Unit 731. It was a big Japanese construction first officially designated as a “Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department”. It was commanded by the tenant-general of the Army and microbiologist Shirō Ishii. I wanted until now to say what is the theme before hopping to the motivation to do something about the knowledge. Let's get to the WHY: I came to know of the theme by chance, navigating the web and suddenly coming to a strange photo of human experiencing, the description of Unit 731. I searched more about it and was simply astonished to know it happened, and inflicted by the so-estimated Japan, a headquarter of technology and populated by reverent people. We are (that is, I am) often so biased, for the good or the bad. That is, what the general public know about World War II, including me? The holocaust of the Jews. This is much, but more happened, and more can be known for our critical view of the World, the countries and its interests, and the rational thinking that might be better with this knowledge. The Unit 731 was not the only one with deadly human experimentation, other facilities existed, but 731 came to be better known; first, it was hidden, but now, decades after the events, documents and confessions came to the ground and can't be denied anymore. And in other sites, Shirō Ishii was already inflicting them probably since the fall of 1933, mainly Chinese people, but also Soviets, Mongolians and Koreans, men, women and children. That's basically it. The research I made (and the movie I saw, a fiction, based on it, horrendous) led me to dream about the theme, so I felt to throw it, what was developed and developing inside, in some manner. I like the voice, the radio, and it is accessible to do, not requiring many equipments etc., so my first choice was to tell it. How? At first, I hypothetized about proposing a script to some Brazilian podcast that tell stories. Soon I realized it could not fit so well in the lines of the ones I know. Some days after, the idea of a little fictionalized story, short story, came as a thing I like, and also with the advantages of: 1. being beautiful (men is made of stories, real or otherwise appropriated by the mind and senses); 2. being impactful (connection with characters); 3. being fast in the way I proposed it to be (one little episode). Not necessarily only this or in this order, but the idea was that. One thing more, of course: as any interested in the subject can note, there is so many technical things produced about it, I wanted to do something that caught the emotions and interest of people, spreading the possibility of them knowing what, elsewhere, they wouldn't come to see. I wanted to make it different in that sense, but as true to the facts as a little audio fiction can be. It's History to our minds, for our own construction and of our world view. But, if not, if the listener just come for the art, it can be (I hope) an enjoying story after all. That was the WHY I decided to do something with the knowledge (in an expression, fire in my heart), and HOW it became a fiction podcast (to do something I like, and different about the subject, attractive). That was my theme here for our moment in HPR! The motivation behind need to create. It was hard, I get moved easily with shocking scenes in words or images, but It catched me. Deciding how to “let go” and then producing it was not tranquil, also; the hands-on, the technical part, was as follows: I have written some pages summarizing the events I have outlined here. Having the base, I came with a story in my mind and in two days or three I think I wrote it, in 3 and a half pages, the story that you're going to listen. In a more silent night I went to my room, with my notebook and a USB condenser microphone, and recorded. Fast. The editing, cutting, compressing, normalizing, and choosing free sounds (all referenced in description) and fitting them in the story, took a long and time and patience, maybe 10 or more dedicated hours along days. I'm not very efficient, some of it was the necessary lack of hurry of art, but some was my slowness in getting to the technical part of what I wanted to do (this bit of information in this milisecond, move track 3 together with track 4 without affecting the sync of the other tracks and clips in the same track, cut the music at this point but with a gentle fade…). I used Audacity. I had a Reaper licence (I remember being a bit more efficient with it) but lost it after formatting without having the serial number anymore, so I went with my long-choice of the free and open source alternative. That was my work for the audiodrama podcast in my language. Which, in between the days I have been preparing this presentation script for HPR, I have released. You may find it in the description, or searching in your podcast app for the name (in Portuguese): “O Departamento de Prevenção de Epidemias e Distribuição de Água”, under the author name “Sem Luz em Saint Louis”. I don't know if it will be released in English. However, I made a first minute of it, here and now, so you can enjoy having mind of what I was talking about. Thank you, be with 1 minute of the report of the survivor… * and Bye! [1 MINUTE OF THE AUDIODRAMA – EXCERPT ONLY] The Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department This account was found in the records of Parkinson Tribly (or Tribly), of Russian and Polish origins. He was recruited by Dr. Shirō Ishii for experiments at Unit 731: a legitimate opportunity to stay alive — which ultimately proved false for reasons he did not expect. What we will hear now is his writing, unedited. Except that, for organization, we will name the three parts that he composed as follows: 1. Introduction; 2. Activities; 3. The Bargain. The author reflects and advances in his organization, but what he brings is: INTRODUCTION Thank God we know that, from the beginning, man has lived in war. It's envy, a desire for power, a desire for money. It is never a good motivation, but purely selfishness. I arrived at the department a week ago and, although I have no desire to collaborate with what happens here, I know enough to realize that it is impossible to leave this place free. When the Japanese invaded this region, Manchuria, in the long war against China, we did not expect the brutality that was witnessed. A few years ago, after the end of the Great War, several countries signed the Geneva Protocol. Although it only prohibits the use of chemical weapons, biological agents, asphyxiating, and related specificities, we believed it would mean more — that it would signify a general humanization of combat methods on land, sea, and air when there might be another Great War. I did not expect it to come in my lifetime nor to be captured to participate in it firsthand. [END OF EXCERPT] Thank you for your presence.

With an extensive display of local culture and a spectacle of high-tech visuals, a stunning gala captured the imagination on Friday night as President Xi Jinping announced the opening of the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin, Heilongjiang province.Almost three decades after hosting the multisports event for the first time in 1996, Harbin, the provincial capital, is providing a bigger and better encore by setting a higher-standard, more inclusive stage for Asia's best winter sports talent. The athletes, from established champions to emerging newcomers, will compete on ice and snow while sharing friendship in Northeast China's "Ice City".Following the opening performance, which saw 34 children, representing the 34 delegations, light a giant ice lantern together to symbolize Asian unity, Xi announced that the Games, which feature the highest participation ever, were officially underway.As digital fireworks wowed the 8,000 spectators at the Harbin International Conference, Exhibition and Sports Center, which was the ceremony's main venue, real fireworks lit up the sky above Harbin Ice and Snow World, the show's outdoor secondary venue.A record number of 1,275 athletes have signed up to compete in Harbin in 64 medal events across six sports — skating, ice hockey, curling, skiing, biathlon and ski mountaineering.With a giant floor screen lighting the way, the parade of athletes proceeded to the melody of Ice, Snow and Asia, played to the inspiring beat of traditional instruments from across Asia, as delegations marched onto the stage under glittering clouds of suspended silver snowflakes.During the parade, images of Harbin's scenic mountains and rivers, its iconic ice sculptures and its city flower, the lilac, were projected onto the background screen, allowing visiting athletes and spectators to enjoy the host city's characteristics in an immersive way.Liang Huiling, president of the 9th Asian Winter Games Harbin Organizing Committee and governor of Heilongjiang, extended her warm welcome to visiting athletes and delegation officials, taking pride in reuniting Asia's best winter sports athletes in Harbin once again."Twenty nine years ago, the flame of the Asian Winter Games ignited this city's passion and dream for ice and snow. Today, we are here to jointly witness Harbin become a dual-Winter Asiad city as a continuation of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics' legacy," she said.That legacy has encouraged 300 million Chinese to participate in winter sports, added Liang.A three-part artistic performance, enhanced by technologies such as virtual reality and glasses-free 3D animation, captured the crowd's imagination with breathtaking projections depicting traditional Harbin images, such as ice harvesting from the frozen Songhua River, and the city's fairytale winter scenes of snow-laden branches glistening like jade amid swirling snowflakes.Wearing costumes with lights attached, performers on roller skates and junior athletes skating on a real ice track glided onto the stage to depict enthusiastic participation in winter sports in Harbin, a renowned training base for China's ice and snow sports talent.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, who also attended the opening show of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, said the Harbin event would surely exceed expectations."Knowing the expertise of the people of Harbin and of China in organizing great sporting events, the expectations are very high. As I know, China will even exceed these high expectations," he told Xinhua News Agency before the ceremony.Impressed by the expansion of winter sports across Asia, Bach hailed the impact of Beijing 2022 and Harbin 2025 as a game-changer for ice and snow sports worldwide."The Games is part of the legacy (of Beijing 2022), and the development in winter sports in China is just breathtaking," said Bach, who will step down from the IOC after his second term expires next month."You could see winter sport athletes from Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (in Harbin). And in these countries, this excitement for winter sport is growing. This is how it should be, benefiting from this great legacy of Beijing 2022," he added.For the exciting finale, a group of children holding ice lanterns skated to the center of the outdoor Ice and Snow World to jointly ignite the Games' cauldron with Zhang Hong, who won China's first speed skating Olympic gold medal at Sochi, Russia, in 2014.The glow of lanterns and the flame of the Winter Asiad lit up the freezing night in Harbin as the cauldron, named the "Bloom of Ice Lilac", brought vigor and warmth.

Malgré un capital personnel évalué à plus d'un milliard de dollars, ceux qui le connaisse s'accordent pour dire qu'il ressemble plus à un "geek qu'à un patron". Liang Wenfeng : ce nom ne vous dit sûrement rien. Mais celui de son entreprise a fait la Une des médias du monde entier le mois dernier. Deepseek, ce nouvel outil d'intelligence artificiel chinois, a en effet créé une onde de choc dans un secteur jusqu'ici dominé par les Américains et notamment le ChatGPT de OpenAI.

From Chinatown to Every Town: How Chinese Immigrants Have Expanded the Restaurant Business in the United States (University of California Press, 2024) by Dr. Zai Liang explores the recent history of Chinese immigration within the United States and the fundamental changes in spatial settlement that have relocated many low-skilled Chinese immigrants from New York City's Chinatown to new immigrant destinations. Using a mixed-method approach over a decade in Chinatown and six destination states, sociologist Dr. Liang specifically examines how the expansion and growing popularity of Chinese restaurants has shifted settlement to more rural and faraway areas. Dr. Liang's study demonstrates that key players such as employment agencies, Chinatown buses, and restaurant supply shops facilitate the spatial dispersion of immigrants while simultaneously maintaining vital links between Chinatown in Manhattan and new immigrant destinations. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Liang Lawrence over Zoom video! London-based singer-songwriter Liang Lawrence shares her new single “Kiss My Apocalypse” via The Other Songs. Featuring fuzzy, serotonin-boosting electric guitars, the new song is an unabashed declaration of love and commitment.Lawrence said of the song: “‘Kiss My Apocalypse' is probably the least casual way you could tell someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with them. I found it refreshing to write a love song that just simply puts my cards on the table and lets someone know how I feel.”“Kiss My Apocalypse” arrives on the heels of Lawrence's new EP What's Dead and Gone, an evocative coming-of-age portrait that's garnered praise from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Atwood Magazine who hailed the body of work as “masterful storytelling and unforgettable melodies.” She celebrated the EP's release with a sold-out debut headlining show at London's Omeara this fall. Over the last few years, Lawrence has continued to build a devoted loyal following – her debut EP letters to myself amassed over 1 million streams in a matter of weeks upon its 2023 release and earned support from BBC Radio 1 Future Pop.Having grown up in eight different countries, Lawrence's ability to find a home everywhere she goes is reflected in her borderless audience with listeners around the world. Initially drawn to music as a source of grounding consistency, she taught herself to play guitar and write songs from her bedroom, ultimately creating music that tells stories and expresses the messy emotions in everyday life.We want to hear from you!

History doesn't stand still, and every time we talk about BRICS on this podcast, there's more to unpack. To understand the significance of BRICS, we must begin with (wait for it) monetary sovereignty. Economist Yan Liang is an expert on China's economy and MMT. She joins Steve to discuss the evolving role of the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and the increasing number of countries becoming involved in challenging US dollar hegemony and the current global financial system. Weaponizing of the US dollar has reached an all-time high. Yan explains the specific ways in which US-dominated international institutions and dollar dependency impede development in the Global South. The episode looks at the significance of de-dollarization and its possible longterm effects. Yan also touches on the importance of technology transfer and intellectual property rights in building sustainable economies. Yan Liang is Peter C and Bonnie S Kremer Chair Professor of Economics at Willamette University. She is also a Research Associate at the Levy Economics Institute, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Global Development Policy Center (Boston University), and a Research Scholar of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. Yan specializes in the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), the Political Economy of China, Economic Development, and International Economics. Yan's current research focuses on China's development finance and industrial transformation, and China's role in the global financial architecture. @YanLian31677392 on X

If you deal with menopause brain fog, mild depression or anxiety any time of year, this is for you. It's also for anyone who wants the latest science on exercise and brain health. The evidence around how movement affects mental well-being is growing, and I want to share some of the most impactful insights with you. Almost all types of exercise seem to show benefits on mental well-being. Activities like resistance training, yoga, other mind-body activities, aerobic exercise, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can support brain health to some extent. In this episode I'll share which exercise helps most, specifically on menopause brain fog, mood, or anxiety. No matter when you're listening to this episode, it's relevant for multiple reasons and seasons. But as I release it during the holiday season, it can have more impact. Whether you might be facing memories of loved ones you've lost, whether it was this year or in years past, or the traditions, memories, or emotions that come with the season that make this time of year bittersweet. While holidays can be magical and full of warmth, they can also feel heavy, bringing sadness, anxiety, or emotional struggles to the surface. For women with menopause brain fog and memory issues, the holidays can have an even greater impact. Beyond Menopause and Brain Fog Global prevalence of depression in perimenopausal women are at 33.9% and 34.9% in postmenopausal women. Why? This may be due to estrogen and progesterone fluctuations, sleep disturbances and greater susceptibility to negative effects of stress. Most adults with depression don't receive adequate care - due to the stigma or the fact that they don't respond well to antidepressants. And pharmaceuticals don't address the physical comorbidities associated with depression. Exercise is well accepted as an alternative or complement due to accessibility, acceptability and safety. Even physical activity below public health recommendations can yield significant mental health benefits [and is a necessary place to start]. Menopause Brain Fog, It's Not Just You A recent study published in the Biomedical Central Public Health Journal of over 200 randomized controlled trials show exercise interventions may have more potent antidepressant effects than SSRIs. A study examined which of 5 exercise interventions helped reduce depression levels most in postmenopausal women and if certain population characteristics responded differently. The Exercise Interventions: Stretching Exercise Aerobic Exercise Resistance Training Mind-Body Exercise Multi Exercise Mind-Body Exercise had the greatest effect on easing anxiety, followed by Aerobic Exercise. Exercise helps because it creates a controlled stress response, increasing resilience to anxiety. Years ago, I shared a study showing yoga boosts cognitive function more than muscle conditioning. A study published in Menopause: The Journal confirmed that mind-body exercises reduce fatigue, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Why mindbody? Yoga increases melatonin levels, balances nervous system and improves brain-derived neurotrophic which improves cognition and memory. Best Exercise for Menopause Brain Fog The menopause brain fog experienced by many women may improve most with HIIT, being characterized by periods of “all out” exercise to breathlessness. A study in the Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry in 2018 showed a Wingate protocol study on HIIT: Exercise Structure 30 seconds of all-out effort (fast-paced or against resistance) per interval 4 - 6 intervals per session, with 4 minutes of recovery between intervals Total Intense Exercise Time 2 - 3 minutes of intense exercise per session lasting a total of 20 minutes, including rest periods Training Frequency 3 sessions per week (totaling 15 minutes of high-intensity work per week) Results 2 Weeks - Improved skeletal muscle oxidative capacity 6 Weeks - Equivalent to traditional endurance training (40 - 60 minutes, 5 sessions per week) Additional Benefits for Midlife Women: Time - HIIT sessions take 1.5 hours a week, compared to other traditional endurance training 4.5 hours a week Cortisol - Short HIIT sessions avoid the cortisol spike (40 - 60 minutes is the tipping point where cortisol spikes negatively) Most women say they feel more energized, lighter, and more focused after HIIT compared to long endurance sessions. Studies on postmenopausal women with osteoporosis found that high-intensity, high-impact protocols led to positive responses, with low injury rates and high retention. Other Exercises for Menopause Brain Fog Resistance training also proves popular among women with anxiety, potentially due to the fact that the increase in heart rate and intensity is temporary, strength gains are made fairly quickly for a beginner and that carries over to increasing motivation, improved sleep. Walking outdoors with friends combines three sources of serotonin for women, particularly: movement, sunlight, and venting/talking. References: Han, B., Duan, Y., Zhang, P. et al.
