When David Wright went to Iraq as an 18-year-old soldier - he had no idea the battlefield would become a place where he'd enter deep states of bliss. For decades, David remained silent about the intense joy he experienced alongside the horrors of war. Matthew Syed ponders the extraordinary possibility of experiencing joy while suffering and hears more about the remarkable potential of the brain to respond to trauma in unexpected ways. He discovers how others too, like actor Renu Arora, experienced something similar when she was hit by a bus - and considers how such stories might help us shift our perspective on pain. With ex-soldier David Wright, actor/singer/writer Renu Arora, neuroscientist Dr Andrew Newberg, Director of Research at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospital in Philadelphia and Dr Steve Taylor, lecturer at Leeds Beckett University in transpersonal psychology and author of the book Extraordinary Awakenings.

“If this area [of the brain] starts to quiet down, then we would expect to see a person … losing their distinctive sense of self, they would feel a sense of connectedness, a sense of oneness.” American neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg explains how the brain changes when a person enters spiritual states of being. “And this [oneness] is frequently described in these practices where people feel more connected with the universe, more connected with humanity, more connected with God.” Stories have been shared across millennia of how faith and connection to a higher power have brought survival and triumph to civilizations. Many of us can also personally see the benefits that faith, spirituality, and mindfulness bring to our health and to our lives. Dr. Newberg's research visualizes these phenomena using advanced brain-imaging techniques. We speak to him at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health, Thomas Jefferson University, where he serves as research director. On Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon, we probe what happens in the spiritual or mindful brain to bring greater health and even longevity. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Does trying to eat less really help you to lose weight? “People who try to eat less are actually very uncomfortable. It's actually hard to be hungry, and we don't like it,” says Anna Tobia of the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Jefferson University. “So, the best way to lose weight is actually to control your environment.” As part of her clinical psychologist role, Ms. Tobia helps people to curb their eating habits and to control eating disorders. On Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon, she highlights how strategy in buying and eating food can enable weight loss and better health. “If your weight isn't where you want it to be, you're not broken. And this isn't because of some trauma that happened to you or some difficult situation. You've got extra weight because it's really hard to [lose weight]”, says Ms. Tobia. Why do we feel so compelled to eat unhealthy, fattening foods? Ms. Tobia ties our “obesity epidemic” to the survival instincts of our ancient ancestors. Therein may just lie the clues we need to bring our cravings under tighter control. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Welcome to the fifth of a six-part series focused on the integration of palliative care into the practice of surgery.   In this episode, we discuss nonbeneficial surgery (and how best to avoid it) as well as care of the imminently dying patient. Nonbeneficial surgery is best defined as surgery that fails to meet the goals of the patient.   As our surgical patients become older and more medically complex, we must be aware of the factors which lead to nonbeneficial surgery – including patient, surrogate, system, and surgeon factors – and how best to approach each of these to avoid causing harm to our patients.  Nonbeneficial surgery not only causes harm to the patient, but can also cause harm to the surgical team, in the form of moral distress/injury.  Focusing on patients' goals of care can help us to avoid nonbeneficial surgery. One of the benefits of integrating palliative medicine into the practice of surgery is that there is never “nothing left to do.”  By learning how to recognize and then care for the imminently dying patient, as well as by having a basic understanding of the Medicare hospice benefit, we can support and care for the patient (and the family) beyond the operating room.  Non-Beneficial Surgery: Pitfalls in communication that lead to nonbeneficial emergency surgery in elderly patients with serious illness: description of the problem and elements of a solution. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24866541/ Surgeons' perspectives on avoiding nonbeneficial treatments in seriously ill older patients with surgical emergencies: a qualitative study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27105058/ The association between factors promoting beneficial surgery and moral distress: a national survey of surgeons. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33214444/ The Imminently Dying Patient and Hospice: Fast Fact #3:  Syndrome of Imminent Death https://www.mypcnow.org/fast-fact/syndrome-of-imminent-death/ Fast Fact #82:  Medicare Hospice Benefit – Part 1: Eligibility and Treatment https://www.mypcnow.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FF-82-Medicare-Hospice.-1-3rd-Ed-1.pdf Fast Fact #87:  Medicare Hospice Benefit – Part 2: Places of Care and Funding  https://www.mypcnow.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FF-87-Medicare-Hospic-2-4th-Ed.pdf Fast Fact #140:  Medicare Hospice Benefit – Levels of Hospice Care https://www.mypcnow.org/fast-fact/medicare-hospice-benefits-levels-of-hospice-care/ Dr. Red Hoffman (@redmdnd) is an acute care surgeon and associate hospice medical director in Asheville, North Carolina, host of the Surgical Palliative Care Podcast (@surgpallcare) and co-founder of the recently launched Surgical Palliative Care Society (www.spcsociety.org).  Dr. Zara Cooper (@zaracMD) is an acute care surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital where she serves as Kessler Director for the Center of Surgery and Public Health (@csph_bwh).  She is a Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, associate faculty at Adriane Labs, and adjunct faculty at the Marcus Institute for Aging Research.   Dr. Amanda Stastny (@manda_plez) is a PGY-2 in the General Surgery program at Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) in Asheville, NC. **Specialty team application link - https://forms.gle/DwrRcMYDaP3a3LaQA Please email hello@behindtheknife.org with any questions.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and Paleovalley. Seventy-five percent of women experience daily symptoms due to hormonal imbalances. Some of these symptoms are irritating, like insomnia, sugar cravings, fluid retention, moodiness, and headaches, while others can be more devastating, such as infertility. Often, many of these symptoms are written off as “normal” and just a part of a woman's cycle or transition into menopause, but the truth is that there are many things we can do to reverse them to live each day more comfortably. In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Sara Gottfried about how many women's health issues can be resolved using a Functional Medicine approach.
