MONEY MONDAY Topic: How will Microsoft's R25bn be spent to ensure SA's future? Guest: Ravi Naidoo: CEO, Youth Employment Service

Nithen Naidoo, founder and CEO of Snode Technologies, shares valuable insights on Snode and the cybersecurity space with TechCentral's TCS+. -- Snode evolved from a consultancy to a product-focused company almost by accident. The product was developed on the ground, which led to the philosophy of customer-led design, emphasising solutions that directly addresses the problems customers are experiencing. In this episode of TechCentral's TCS+, founder and CEO Nithen Naidoo unpacks the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone and not letting fear dictate decisions. He believes South Africans are more than capable of building world-class technology and that the cyber landscape offers opportunities to innovate without requiring large investments. He stresses the importance of adopting technology securely to propel businesses forward. Nithen has learnt the importance of collaboration and acknowledges that there are still many problems in the cybersecurity industry that are yet to be solved. What Snode does today Snode has grown to cover over eight million devices and protect systems and companies across six continents with a team of 60 staff. The company's mission is to “solve cyber”. It has developed a platform that is highly automated and is moving towards autonomous security operations. This platform is designed to address the high costs of managing cybersecurity and the need for better automated solutions. Snode's technology uses metadata around packets instead of the data packets themselves for threat detection, which allows for privacy preservation. It leverages advances in machine learning and AI for innovation-driven security solutions. They also use mathematics as a fast and accurate method for threat detection. Furthermore, they use digital twin technology to simulate different types of scenarios, enabling predictive and prescriptive analytics for customers. This technology automatically classifies assets and understands their value to a business by using data from both internal and external sources. The company's solutions extend to both IT and OT (operational technology) environments, with a focus on the convergence of the two. Snode's technology is protocol-independent and can eavesdrop on communications without needing proprietary information, which is beneficial in environments like industrial IoT and medical IoT. Snode's focus on continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) moves beyond traditional risk and vulnerability management. It looks at a company's security through the lens of the asset, enriching available siloed data with the much-needed context to manage a company's exposure holistically. What the future holds Snode aims to be a leader in the cybersecurity industry, acknowledging that the sector still has valuable problems to solve. Its vision is not just for South Africa, but for the whole of the African continent. Naidoo says he wants to create a secure environment for African entrepreneurs to drive innovation. Snode already has a global reach, with a presence across six continents, and is working with the defence and critical national infrastructure sectors in a number of countries. Snode plans to expand its approach to cybersecurity, using predictive capabilities for broader applications such as preventative maintenance in the OT environment and improving safety in various industries. It aims to change the traditional view of cyberthreats, moving towards a unified approach across threat management, vulnerability management and penetration testing.

International Children's Day Guest: Daphne Naidoo, Gauteng Social Services & Development by Radio Islam

1 in 3 people have anxiety. It's the most common mental health disorder in the world. And many of us know what anxiety feels like: palms sweating before a job interview, losing your appetite before a looming deadline, a pit in your stomach when you get bad news. It's not just in your head, it's in your gut. Today, we'll learn how food could help us cope. Our guest explains the rising global trend toward increased anxiety: its rise through the pandemic, and explosion among young people.  Dr. Uma Naidoo is on the forefront of nutritional psychiatry. She directs the first hospital-based Nutritional Psychiatry Service in the US, at Massachusetts General Hospital and teaches at Harvard Medical School. Uma will help you understand the symptoms and biology of anxiety, painting a picture of the risks it poses for long-term health. And her diet tips will help you fuel your gut for a healthy mind.

Within our mental health crisis, there are some tools most of us have access to; one of the most influential is food. In this compelling episode, Dr. Uma Naidoo discusses the profound impact of nutrition on our mental health and explains why a bad diet is the leading cause of poor health worldwide. Dr. Uma Naidoo is a Harvard trained, board-certified psychiatrist, professional chef and nutrition biologist. Founder and Director of the first and only hospital based nutritional and metabolic psychiatry service in the US, and author of This is your brain on food and the up-coming Calm your brain with food, Dr. Naidoo is a leading expert of nutritional psychiatry. Grounded in nutrition science and evidence-based research, in this episode, Dr. Naidoo explains why a bad diet is the most common root cause of poor mental health; anxiety, depression, poor concentration, and other mental health concerns. She discusses the power of the gut-brain connection and reveals how a healthy diet—one which includes prebiotics, fermented foods, fibre, clean proteins, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids—can help with mental health symptoms. In this fascinating interview discover which foods target anxiety, which relieve depression, which enable key neurotransmitter production essential to mental wellness, and learn why our diets are fundamental to our mental health.   In this episode, you'll learn about:   ·         How nutrition can help mental health conditions and why whole foods and nutrients improve mental wellbeing. ·         Which foods target anxiety, and why anxiety is the most prevalent mental health disorder of the post-pandemic era. ·         Why what we eat works in synergy with medications and other therapies to improve mental health. ·         How the biological mechanism of nutritional psychiatry shows the centrality of the gut-brain connection in anxiety, depression, poor concentration, insomnia, and other mental health issues. ·         Ways a diet rich in vegetables, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats, enable the production of neurotransmitters – dopamine, serotonin, glutamate and GABA – within the gut microbiota, any why this is essential to good mental health. ·         How neurotransmitters are synthesised in our brains to cross the blood-brain barrier, and the vital role of amino acids (derived solely through diet) in this process. ·         The lasting impact of the Covid pandemic on our diet and our mental health; what we can do to combat poor health through conscious eating, and why fast foods as an occasional treat offer a sustainable and realistic approach to lasting dietary changes. ·         Ways ultra-processed foods damage our health and the hidden threat of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) – a food thickener widely used in processed food–to our gut microbiome. ·         Which foods feed good mental health, reduce inflammation, improve gut microbiome, and combat poor brain health – including prebiotic foods, fermented foods, fibre, clean proteins, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids – and ways they can be obtained simply through food. ·         Why fibre from whole grains–quinoa, spelt, barley, buckwheat and teff – can be vital to the relief of poor mental health, and anxiety and depression in particular. ·         How dark natural chocolate can really help us feel better! And why it can help ease symptoms of depression. ·         Which spices and herbs calm your mind and soothe mental health symptoms.

Trudy and Dr. Uma's approaches complement each other to make a robust, actionable episode that I know you'll love.  

Dr. Uma Naidoo has spent her life exploring the unique connection between food and brain health. Her first book, 2020's groundbreaking This Is Your Brain on Food, offered readers around the world a better understanding of the many ways our diets impact our mental, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing, and provided a useful blueprint for working through conditions like depression, OCD, PTSD, dementia, and more.Her next book “Calm your mind with food” is a deeper exploration of this. Today we talk about:• How inflammation affects everything from anxiety and depression to Alzheimer's disease• How the trillions of bacteria living in your gut are key to controlling anxiety• The six pillars for calming the mind• What to eat to balance the appetite hormone leptin, a key link between the central nervous system and metabolic processes• How to incorporate anxiety-busting foods into your diet, from ashwagandha to vitamin C

We explore how anxiety influences our susceptibility to metabolic diseases, autoimmunity, and Alzheimer's, and the difference between processed foods and homemade meals. Dr. Naidoo emphasizes the pivotal role of nutrition in mental health, particularly the interplay between the enteric nervous system, the vagus nerve, and brain function. Our discussion also covers the scientific underpinnings of the gut microbiome, the pitfalls of non-nutritive sweeteners and sugars, and the critical roles of neurotransmitters and neuroinflammation. She also elucidates the concept of leptin and its resistance, critiques nutritional trends like the low-fat craze, and clarifies the nuanced impacts of carbohydrates, fiber, and plant-based versus omnivorous diets.  I am sure you will find this conversation with Dr. Uma Naidoo as valuable and enjoyable as I did.

Dr. Uma Naidoo is a board-certified psychiatrist, nutrition specialist, and author of This is Your Brain on Food. She discovered a wide gap in healthcare when she realized that no one is talking about how certain foods can cause common symptoms such as brain fog and anxiety–while other foods can be used to reduce stress, boost mood, and improve focus. In today's episode, Dr. Uma breaks down key principles, takeaways, and tips from her best-selling books including the gut-brain connection that explains why you may be so stressed out. She explains why food affects mood, and offers easy "prescriptions" (AKA recipes, grocery lists, and lifestyle changes) if you need to get out of a funk, need to focus for a major meeting or exam, calm anxiety and stress, or if you have a special event like a wedding or trip you want to feel present and energized for.

This episode is brought to you by HVMN. it's important to understand that our capacity, our mental health, our physical health, these are all driven by energy and having energy allotted, energy available to literally think the thoughts that we want to think, to be able to have more self-control and self-management of our minds, of our thoughts. We can get depleted very quickly, you know, especially in today's society. Again there's so much coming at us. And so having some supportive nutrition is obviously critical. And right now with innovation there are some things that are kind of head and shoulders above other things when it comes to energy, and in particular numerous studies, including a study published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, AKA the FASEB journal, have found that exogenous ketones can be up to twenty-eight-percent more efficient in generating energy than glucose alone. Plus studies have found up to a 15% increased mean power output After recovery when utilizing ketones, helping our bodies to heal and to recover. There's something really special about these exogenous ketones, but we've taken a mighty jump from the conventional ketone esters. When we now are able to utilize ketone IQ, go to hvmn.com/model and get your hands on ketone IQ. I've personally experienced ketone IQ improving my cognitive performance and Specifically my endurance during my workouts. And for most people, this isn't gonna be for everybody, but for most people they notice this the very first time utilizing ketone IQ. I know that I did. And you know, of course over the years, I've been in this field for about 21 years now, and I've utilized so many different things. It's very rare to find something where you see a noticeable improvement immediately and that's what I experienced. Again this is not necessarily gonna happen for everyone, but for the majority of people utilizing ketone IQ, this takes their energy to another level. But here's the key, without any strange jitters or crashes or anything like that. It's just utilizing a primal energy system in our bodies for performance. So check them out.

This episode is brought to you by LMNT. Neuroplasticity, the ability of the human brain to grow and adapt and evolve and really to unlock our superhuman capacity is driven by our experiences, our practices, our activities, but also our nutrition. Fascinating new research published in the journal Neuron found that magnesium, this key electrolyte, is able to restore critical brain plasticity and improve overall cognitive function. Again, neuroplasticity is the ability of our brain to change and adapt. Now this is one key electrolyte, but it works in tandem with other electrolytes like sodium. Sodium is critical for maintaining proper hydration of the human brain. If you didn't know this, the human brain is primarily made of water. We're talking somewhere in the ballpark of 75%, upwards of 80% water. It's so important because just a small decrease in our body's optimal hydration level, what's noted in the data, just a 2% decrease in our baseline hydration level can lead to dramatic cognitive decline. Helping to sustain and maintain proper hydration levels in the brain, sodium is critical in that. And also, researchers at McGill University found that sodium functions as a quote, off-on switch for specific neurotransmitters that support our cognitive function and protect our brains from numerous degenerative diseases. Right now, the number one electrolyte company in the world is delivering a gift for new and returning customers. With each purchase of LMNT, that's LMNT, the number one electrolyte in the market, no binders, no fillers, no artificial ingredients, no crazy sugar and sweeteners. My friend's son was just over at our house and my son, my oldest son Jordan, was training them, taking his teammates through some workouts and we opened the freezer and there's a bottle of Gatorade. There's a bottle of Gatorade in our freezer. And my wife's like, who's this? Cause we know we don't roll like that. We don't mess with the Gators, all right? We don't mess with the Gatorades. And we knew who it was, it was one of his friends. And he came in, he's like, well, at least this is the no sugar kind. And then I go through some of the ingredients with him and I find those curve balls of like, here's where they're sneaking in these artificial ingredients and things that the human body has no association with. But you know, he's taking a step in the right direction by being in our environment. So you know what I did? I put the LMNT in his hand. All right, make sure that he's got the good stuff, the very best stuff. And also this is backed by peer reviewed data and a huge body of evidence.
