The idea that light-colored eyes are generally more fragile is pretty widespread. They're less resistant to sunlight and require more protection. According to Medical News Today, it's estimated that around 8-10% of people in the world have blue eyes. When our eyes are open, rays of light pass through the pupil, the black opening in the center of the iris. As you may know, the pupil dilates when it's dark and contracts in bright light. When light rays strike the retina, they're captured by photoreceptor cells like rod cells, which are involved in night vision and cone cells that enable color vision, among other things. What's the function of the iris ? Is sunlight dangerous for the eyes? Is wearing sunglasses enough to protect my eyes ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Magical Thinking is often misunderstood.Jason Segel plays a psychologist in the Apple + TV show, “Shrinking.” He is talking to a patient with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.He looks at her. “This again?” She is holding her breath. He says, “You looked at the clock and now you have to hold your breath until the minute changes?” Holding her breath, she nods her head. He says, “Look, I know you feel like this compulsion is gonna help keep bad things from happening, but that's called magical thinking.”Medical News Today says, “Magical thinking means that a person believes their thoughts, feelings, or rituals can influence events in the material world, either intentionally or unintentionally.”But the summary of that article says, “This type of thinking does not always cause harm. In fact, it can have benefits.”The benefits of magical thinking are – according to me – exquisite.Magical thinking is the least destructive way to escape reality. When you compare it to alcohol, gambling, drugs, or adrenaline-producing dangerous behaviors, magical thinking is about as dangerous as eating raw cookie dough.Magical thinking is a requirement when you are:looking forward to a vacation, a wedding, or other happy event. Every time you imagine the future, you are visiting a world that does not exist.enjoying a television series, a movie, a novel, a poem, a song, a cartoon, or any other type of fiction.

Happy New Year!

If you have (or suspect you have ADHD) and are struggling to fall asleep at a "normal" hour, wake up feeling groggy, or find yourself alert and restless late at night, you might be dealing with something called Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome, or DSPS. It's not just insomnia or anxiety—it's a circadian rhythm sleep disorder that often goes misunderstood and misdiagnosed. We'll explore how DSPS differs from the more commonly discussed "revenge bedtime procrastination," which is the habit of staying up late to reclaim a bit of personal time after a busy day. I will also delve into effective treatments like light therapy and melatonin, and discuss how understanding your sleep patterns can be a game changer for those balancing ADHD and entrepreneurship. So, if sleep's been your nemesis, this episode will help you learn how you can finally get the rest you deserve.Understanding DSPS:Unlike insomnia or general sleep problems, DSPS aligns your internal clock much later. It's not a result of poor sleep hygiene or bad habits, it's an actual condition in both ICD and DSM diagnostic manuals.Revenge Bedtime Procrastination vs. DSPS:Revenge bedtime procrastination involves deliberately delaying sleep for fun or relaxation, when one feels their day is too packed with responsibilities and too little time for some self indulgence like scrolling social media or bingeing a Netflix series. DSPS is about a genuine inability to fall asleep at typical times. Both are common among those with ADHD and are often confused with each other. Treatment for DSPS:Gradual exposure to bright light in the morning and reducing light exposure before bedtime can help recalibrate your internal clock.

XX Hurricane Insulin efforts XX Medtronic has notified customers that battery issues with its Minimed 600 and 700 series insulin pumps could cause the devices to stop delivering insulin significantly sooner than expected. A “low battery pump” alert, intended to signal up to 10 hours of remaining battery life, may be displayed on the device even if much less time is left. Medtronic told customers they could contact the company to determine the need for a replacement pump. Medtronic said it received 170 reports of hyperglycemia and 11 reports of diabetic ketoacidosis in the U.S., from January 2023 to September 2024, potentially related to the issue. Pump models including the Minimed 630G, 670G, 770G and 780G systems are affected by the notice. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/Medtronic-Minimed-insulin-pumps-recall-battery-life/729019/ XX A woman has undergone a stem-cell therapy made from her own cells, to treat her type 1 diabetes. Researchers in China discovered the woman did not need to use insulin 75 days after the procedure, and that the stem-cell derived islet cells she was injected with had been engrafted inside her abdomen. the case is the first of its kind, and two more people have been enrolled in the clinical trial in China since, researchers involved in the study told Medical News Today. Other stem-cell based therapies for type 1 and type 2 diabetes are also currently in development and in trials. For this case study, researchers based in Tianjin First Central Hospital, Nankai University, Tianjin, China took fat cells from a 25 year-old woman with type 1 diabetes, and chemically induced them to behave as pluripotent stem cells, a type of cell that can develop into other types of cell. They then used these to create islet cells, which typically exist in the pancreas and create insulin, a hormone that regulates levels of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. The patient in this case study had previously had two liver transplants and a failed pancreas transplant due to complications that had arisen due to her diabetes. The induced islet cells made from the patient's own cells were then injected between the skin and abdominal muscles. Researchers discovered that these successfully engrafted in the patient, including growing their own vasculature. Before the procedure she produced enough insulin to reach her target glycemic range 43.18% of the time, and 4 months later this increased to 96.2% of the time. She was also shown to have lower glycated hemoglobin, which indicated long-term systemic glucose levels at a non-diabetic level.   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/stem-cell-therapy-reverses-type-1-diabetes-in-groundbreaking-case-study XX The state of Texas is accusing major pharmacy benefit managers and drug companies of colluding to raise the cost of insulin.   Texas alleged drug manufacturers Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi raise the price of insulin and then pay an undisclosed amount back to PBMs Optum Rx, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark through a quid pro quo agreement. PBMs then give preferred status on its standard formularies to drugs with the highest list prices, the state said. Insulin costs $2 to produce and could be purchased for $20 in the 1990s but now costs up to $700, the Office of the Attorney General of Texas wrote in a news release. The filing goes so far as to describe a LinkedIn group these executives would use to discuss insulin pricing tactics. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently sued Optum Rx, Express Scripts and Caremark for rising insulin prices and anticompetitive practices. The PBMs reject the FTC's findings. Drug manufacturers were not included in the lawsuit. Texas' lawsuit also noted the consolidation in the PBM market, arguing it gives PBMs a “disproportionate amount of market power.” Nearly 40 PBM entities have now been consumed by UnitedHealth Group, Cigna and CVS Caremark. https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/payers/texas-sues-pbms-manufacturers-over-insulin-conspiracy XX Canadian teens and young adults living with diabetes face double the risk of hospitalizations and emergency room visits compared with younger children with the condition, say doctors suggesting changes to how care is organized for affected families. In the October issue of the journal The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, Dr. Meranda Nakhla, a pediatric endocrinologist at the Montreal Children's Hospital, and her team used Quebec health administrative data to estimate the risk of gaps in regular diabetes care for complications in children under 10, and adults up to age 23.   "With adolescents and young adults, [the complication]  tends to be more related to an insulin omission and maybe just feeling burnt out from having diabetes and just not wanting to deal with it," Nakhla said. "They may stop taking insulin and a day later end up in the emergency room with diabetic ketoacidosis." Part of the challenge, Nakhla said, is for parents to take a step back from managing all aspects of their child's diabetes to a more supportive role that allows the child to have more autonomy. What's new about the Quebec findings is they highlight how gaps in diabetes care visits start at a younger age than previously looked at, said Dr. Rayzel Shulman, a pediatric endocrinologist at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. Since the brains of adolescents and young adults aren't fully developed, planning ahead, thinking about the consequences of their actions and controlling impulses differs from their parents. As part of an ongoing study, Shulman's team uses text messages to send adolescents and young adults appointment reminders as well as monthly diabetes messages. They recently added an artificial intelligence chat bot programmed with answers from trusted sources. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/diabetes-pediatric-1.7345526 XX A trade organization representing compounding pharmacies that make unbranded versions of the weight loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound has filed a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for declaring an end to the shortage, effectively halting the sale of “copycat” versions of these drugs.   On Oct. 2, the FDA announced that the nearly two-year-long shortage of tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound, had ended. This was after the agency said it had confirmed the manufacturer, Eli Lily, had a manufacturing capacity that “can meet the present and projected national demand.”     With the shortage over, the ability of compounding pharmacies to sell unbranded, replicated versions of these drugs came to a near halt. There are two types of compounding pharmacies: 503A and 503B. The Outsourcing Facilities Association (OFA) represents 503B compounding pharmacies, which can create prescription-specific compounded drugs as well as bulk orders.   The OFA and the compounding pharmacy North American Custom Laboratories filed their lawsuit against the FDA on Monday, alleging the agency was “abruptly depriving patients of much needed treatment and artificially raising drug prices.”   “Ignoring evidence that the shortage persists, FDA removed Tirzepatide from the shortage list without notice, without soliciting input from affected parties and the public, and without meaningful rationale,” said their complaint.   The evidence that the plaintiffs cited for the shortage persisting was that the FDA noted in its announcement that “patients and prescribers may still see intermittent localized supply disruptions as the products move through the supply chain from the manufacturer and distributors to local pharmacies.”   Eli Lilly made a similar statement after the shortage was declared over, saying, “Patients' experiences looking for a particular dose of medicine in their local pharmacies may vary. The supply chain is complex, especially for refrigerated medicines, and there may be many reasons why a particular pharmacy does not have a particular dose of the medicine in stock. ” https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4922234-trade-group-sues-fda-over-ending-mounjaro-zepbound-shortage/ XX New project in Europe to provide data to enable more people with diabetes who use insulin to work as commercial pilots and air traffic controllers. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency project focuses mainly on pilots and air traffic controllers, but the data being collected will apply to cabin crew and passengers with diabetes as well   currently only three countries in Europe — the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Austria — allow them to obtain a license that enables them to fly commercially, under a strict protocol that was first launched by the UK Civil Aviation Authority in 2012. The Irish Aviation Authority joined in 2015, and Austro Control followed in 2016.     https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/eu-program-aims-ensure-safety-pilots-who-use-insulin-2024a1000ia6 XX Edgepark commercial XX The two-time Xfinity Series winner was competing at Talladega in McAnally-Hilgeman Racing's No. 91 truck for his first start of the season. The last time Reed drove in a NASCAR event came last fall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the Xfinity Series, and his most recent Truck start came in the spring of 2021 at Darlington Raceway.   “I couldn't stop making mistakes early on,” Reed said. “The truck was so fast. I think more than anything I'm really proud of myself for being able to get out there and make aggressive pushes and be able to kind of rise to the occasion.”   See also Grant Enfinger Wins Talladega, Advances to Championship 4 Despite the speed, Reed's truck burst into flames shortly after crossing the finish line. Reed said he stared at the door of teammate Christian Eckes while he crossed the line in the middle of a multi-truck pileup.     “Gosh, we could go anywhere we wanted today,” Reed told Frontstretch. “I made a lot of mistakes, but we put ourselves in position at the end. I hate that Bill [McAnally] has torn up race trucks.”   Friday marked Reed's sixth start in the past six years in Truck and Xfinity equipment, something Reed said might have added some doubt.   “When you're sitting on the couch every weekend, you think you can do it,” he reflected. “I remember I used to race every single weekend, I know how to get around these plate tracks, but you don't know, right?   “It's really gratifying to come off the couch and remind myself, like ‘hey I can still do this,' at least at superspeedways. I think I can do it at other tracks too.”     The day ended in a combination of a career-best Truck Series finish and a ball of fire for Ryan Reed in his return to NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competition on Friday (Oct. 4).   https://frontstretch.com/2024/10/04/ryan-reed-scores-career-best-finish-in-truck-series-return/ XX Join us again soon!

Health, according to Medical News Today, is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or infirmity. Good health helps people live a full life.As Christians, we could add spiritual well-being to that definition and we recognize that Jesus came so that we could have eternal life and desires that we have abundant life (John 10:10).God cares about our health and wellness down to the smallest detail. He created us and made us in His own image. Our bodies are truly miraculous–the way they function and their ability to heal. God created us and calls us wonderful!He wants us to care for our bodies–His temple–the best we can. If we know there are some areas that need improvement, we can take them to the LORD in prayer and seek His guidance in the changes He would have us make. Remember we aren't striving for perfection in this area, but progress. Small changes–a little at a time–can make a big impact in our health.Verses referenced in this episode:Psalm 139:14-18I Corinthians 6:19-20; 9:24-27; 10:23, 31Galatians 2:20Support the Show.Connect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!

Send us a Text Message.Join me as I uncover the history of cannibalism starting with the butchered bones of ancient hominids dating as far back as 780,000 years all the way to the present day. I'll explore examples of ritual cannibalism and delve into four horrifying stories of survival cannibalism. Finally, I'll examine the freaky psychology behind pathological cannibalism. What drives a human to eat another human being? And is it wrong? I think you'll find that this taboo isn't quite that black and white. Let's fix that. Sources: National Library of Medicine "Mummy as a Drug"Live Science "Scientists Study 5 Cases of Pathological Cannibalism"Medical News Today "Mumia: The strange history of humans remains... as medicine"IFL Science "Scientists Attempt to Psychologically Profile the Pathological Cannibal"International Boating Magazine "Raft of the Medusa"The Collector "Eating Human Flesh to Survive: 5 Tragic Stories of Cannibalism"National Library of Medicine "Cannibalism - overview and medicolegal issues"The Open Encyclopedia of Anthropology "Cannibalism"UK Natural History Museum "The Cannibals of Gough's Cave"Haaretz "A Brief History of Cannibalism: Not Just a Matter of Taste"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

Kingdom Citizens!!!    In this episode, Samantha urges us to confront memories that evoke pain and anguish within us — those “triggering” memories. Samantha challenges us reconsider how we perceive them. With a bold question, she prompts us to ponder: “What if you're wrong about the memory?”  She encourages us to look back at the memory and rewrite them from Christ's perspective, the perspective that “all things work together out for your good”.    During the episode, Samantha shares a profound truth: “If you claim that God is good, then He must be good in your past, present, and future.”      Reflective Quote: “Our ego wants us to defend what we think we know and remember, if I'm wrong , is my whole life a lie? We're too tied to the past, thats why we can't fathom letting our part of the story go.”      We pray that after listening to this episode you will decide to no longer be a victim of your past. We pray that God gives you the courage to face your past and rewrite your story from Christ's perspective.

“Generally, individuals considering sex surrogate therapy have been undergoing sex therapy or psychotherapy for months to several years to deal with concerns such as self-confidence, body image issues, fears, and sexual dysfunctions. The range of concerns and conditions that may prompt the therapist or the client to consider a partner surrogate may include: body dysmorphic disorder, negative body image, or physical disfigurement medical conditions sexual, physical, or emotional abuse or trauma phobias, avoidance, or anxieties about touch, sex, and intimacy unresolved relational trauma confusion about sexual orientation lack of self-confidence or sexual confidence orgasmic inhibition pelvic pain or genital pain, including vulvodynia lack of experience sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction, erection difficulties, and premature ejaculation vaginismus limited or no orgasms low arousal or sex drive shame about sex Some researchers suggest that sex surrogate therapy may help treat sexual difficulties among transgender people who have recently undergone gender confirmation surgery. Some evidence also suggests that it may be beneficial for people with disabilities to help them learn about comfortable ways to experience sex. While some individuals may benefit from this therapy, more research is necessary. Additionally, it may be advisable to establish clarity on the ethics and legality of this practice.” Medical News Today. “How it works The course of therapy usually begins with the therapist and the client determining goals and creating a treatment plan to address the issues behind the client's difficulties. The therapist may recommend surrogate partner therapy if they deem it helpful. Partner surrogates work in collaboration with the therapist and the client. They receive training to mentor, coach, and help clients meet their treatment goals. Similarly to the way exposure therapy enables a person to face their fear, this treatment provides access to a safe partner to allow a person to practice techniques, among other skills. The goals of this treatment may include building self-awareness and self-confidence, developing effective communication, training social skills, and developing physical and emotional intimacy skills. Surrogates guide clients through the program and gradually progress through varied therapeutic experiences that aim to explore, build the client's skills, and promote their healing. The plan may incorporate: relaxation and meditation eye contact effective communication sensate focusing sex education body mapping one-way or mutual nudity one-way or mutual touching genital-genital contact A person may opt for local therapy, which is when the therapist and the surrogate are both available in the local community. It usually involves meeting with the therapist for 1 hour per week and meeting with the surrogate partner for 1–2 hours per week. Alternatively, they may use an intensive setup, which is when the therapist-client and surrogate-client sessions overlap to facilitate rapid growth and change for the client. This involves meeting with the surrogate partner for 2–3 hours per day and with the therapist for 1 hour per day. Intensive therapy typically lasts for 2 weeks. It is important to note that the therapist is not involved in the sessions between the surrogate and the client. However, open, proper, and consistent communication among all three team members is fundamental for the approach's success. All team members make a mutual decision to terminate therapy, typically when the client achieves their goals.” -Medical News Today “I decided to be a sex surrogate partner who helps clients professionally within sex surrogate therapy.” -Antonio Myers.

Have you ever heard of Apeel before? Whether you have or haven't, You may have already eaten a piece of fruit at some point that was covered in it.    Apeel is a plant-based coating or ‘peel' that helps produce stay fresh for longer by slowing water loss, preventing oxidation and protecting against environmental stress, which are the primary causes of food spoilage. It uses a microscopic amount of Monoglycerides and Diglycerides, which are naturally found in fruits and vegetables, to create a breathable extra layer that keeps moisture inside the produce while keeping oxygen out.   While these glycerides can be extracted from any fruit or vegetable, Apeel extracts them from widely grown plant oils that are passed through a purifying process to remove allergens, impurities and trans fats. Apeel claims that it only uses plant oils from non-GMO and sustainably grown sources.    So, what's the issue?

Approximately 9.5% (16,595,00) of American adults aged 18 and over will experience a depressive illness (major depression, bipolar disorder, or dysthymia) each year. Women have nearly twice the likelihood of experiencing major depression compared to men. On the other hand, both men and women have an equal chance of developing bipolar disorder.However, most studies indicate that when Black individuals do experience depression, the condition tends to persist for a longer duration. Additionally, they may have a higher likelihood of co-occurring diagnoses such as addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.Racism and stigma within the mental health profession can exacerbate the impact of depression. Healthcare professionals and other providers tend to offer lower treatment rates for Black individuals with depression compared to their white counterparts.Sources: "Black Depression."
