New Study: Vitamin D Reduces Recurrent Heart Attacks by 50%? Ep. 1269 NOV 2025________________________________________Prevent Recurrent Heart Attacks, Targeted Vitamin D Dosing, Acute Coronary Syndrome Treatment, TARGET-D Trial Results 2025, Vitamin D Levels for Heart Health, Reducing MACE Risk, Intermountain Health Study.In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking TARGET-D trial (presented at AHA 2025) that shows how "treating to target"—adjusting Vitamin D dosage to reach specific blood levels—may significantly reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks. While the overall cardiovascular risk (MACE) didn't change statistically in the broad group, the study found a significant reduction in repeat heart attacks (Myocardial Infarction) for those in the treatment group. Learn the difference between "Intention to Treat" and "Per Protocol" analysis and what this means for secondary heart prevention.Source: May HT, Le VT, Anderson JL, et al.

Humans bring gender biases to their interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to new research from Trinity College Dublin and Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) Munich. The study involving 402 participants found that people exploited female-labelled AI and distrusted male-labelled AI to a comparable extent as they do human partners bearing the same gender labels. Notably, in the case of female-labelled AI, the study found that exploitation in the Human-AI setting was even more prevalent than in the case of human partners with the same gender labels. This is the first study to examine the role of machine gender in human-AI collaboration using a systematic, empirical approach. The findings show that gendered expectations from human-human settings extend to human-AI cooperation. This has significant implications for how organisations design, deploy, and regulate interactive AI systems, according to the authors. The study, led by sociologists in Trinity's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, has just been published in the journal iScience. Key findings: Patterns of exploitation and distrust toward AI agents mirrored those seen with human partners carrying the same gender labels. Participants were more likely to exploit AI agents labelled female and more likely to distrust AI agents labelled male. Assigning gender to AI agents can shape cooperation, trust, and misuse implications for product design, workplace deployment, and governance. Sepideh Bazazi, first author of the study and Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, Trinity, explained: "As AI becomes part of everyday life our findings that gendered expectations spill into human-AI cooperation underscore the importance of carefully considering gender representation in AI design, for example, to maximise people's engagement and build trust in their interactions with automated systems. "Designers of interactive AI agents should recognise and mitigate biases in human interactions to prevent reinforcing harmful gender discrimination and to create trustworthy, fair, and socially responsible AI systems." Taha Yasseri, co-author of the study and Director of the Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM) at Trinity, said: "Our results show that simply assigning a gender label to an AI can change how people treat it. If organisations give AI agents human-like cues, including gender, they should anticipate downstream effects on trust and cooperation." Jurgis Karpus, co-author of the study and Postdoctoral Researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich, added: "This study raises an important dilemma. Giving AI agents human-like features can foster cooperation between people and AI, but it also risks transferring and reinforcing unwelcome existing gender biases from people's interactions with fellow humans." The article, 'AI's assigned gender affects human-AI cooperation' by Sepideh Bazazi (TCD); Jurgis Karpus (LMU); Taha Yasseri (TCD, TU Dublin) can be read on the journal iScience website. More about the study: In this experimental study, participants played repeated rounds of the social science experiment Prisoner's Dilemma - a classic experiment in behavioural game theory and economics to study human cooperation and defection. Partners were labelled human or AI. Each partner was further labelled male, female, non-binary, or gender-neutral. The team analysed motives for cooperation and defection, distinguishing exploitation (taking advantage of a cooperative partner) from distrust (defecting pre-emptively). Findings show that gender labelling can reproduce gendered patterns of cooperation with AI. The participants were recruited in the UK, and the experiment was conducted online. The sample size was 402 participants. More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

New research shows that simply choosing plant-based foods can slash your environmental footprint — and dramatically improve your health at the same time. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to uncover how different diets compare when it comes to land use, water use, greenhouse gases, and planetary health. The results are stunning:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to aging and errors in how our genes are processed, a mechanism known as dysfunctional alternative RNA splicing (ASEs). The metabolite NAD+ is known to slow AD progression in preclinical studies.This 2025 study in Science Advances provides a new mechanism . Researchers found that NAD+ augmentation corrects these harmful splicing errors. It appears to do this by regulating a key protein called EVA1C, which the study found is reduced in the hippocampus of human AD patients compared to cognitively normal ones.Using mouse models with AD-like tau pathology , supplementing with NAD+ precursors (like NR or NMN) improved memory . Critically, when the researchers blocked the EVA1C protein (via adeno-associated virus-based knockdown) in the mice's hippocampus, the memory improvements from NAD+ were lost .This suggests the NAD+-EVA1C splicing axis is a critical pathway for how NAD+ protects the brain, offering a potential new target for future AD therapies.3.

Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get Dry Cleaning Guide https://drchristiangonzalez.com/dry-cleaning-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description You might think liver damage comes from alcohol or sugar. But a new USC study reveals the real threat could be hanging in your closet. If you dry clean your clothes even once or twice a month, you're exposing yourself to Perchloroethylene (PCE)—a toxic solvent now strongly linked to liver fibrosis, brain fog, cancer, and even Parkinson's disease. This isn't just a factory worker problem. For many people, routine dry cleaning is the hidden environmental exposure driving chronic health issues no doctor can explain. PCE doesn't just disappear after cleaning. It off-gasses into your home, absorbs through your skin, and accumulates in your liver and nervous system. And the majority of dry cleaners still use it. Without asking the right questions, you have no idea what chemicals are saturating the fabrics touching your body every single day. And your liver, brain, and nervous system are paying the price. In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the USC Keck study and reveals how to protect yourself from this silent toxin: • Why dry cleaning increases your odds of liver fibrosis by 3X • The neurotoxic chemical triggering brain fog, headaches, and nervous system dysregulation • The Cancer and Parkinson's link researchers are now confirming • The exact 3 questions to ask your dry cleaner today to protect your family • The PFAS trap hiding in stain-proof and wrinkle-free fabrics (forever chemicals that never leave your body) • How PCE contaminates local groundwater and creates toxic exposure for entire communities This episode goes beyond your closet. It's a wake-up call about the pervasive, invisible toxins lurking in everyday life—and how to take action now to protect your liver, stabilize your nervous system, and reclaim your health.

Collectively, the results of this study position A. conyzoides as a promising, safe, and well-tolerated adjunct or alternative to current pharmacological approaches. Further investigations of longer duration and larger sample sizes, incorporating imaging measures, are warranted to confirm efficacy.A plant commonly known as "billygoat weed" (Ageratum conyzoides) has a long tradition of use in ethnomedicine for a wide range of conditions, including rheumatism, inflammatory pain, fever, and headaches.Building on this history, a recent 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigated its effect on osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms in ageing adults. The study included 70 adults aged 45 and older with clinically diagnosed osteoarthritis. Participants were given either 250 mg of a special pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free A. conyzoides extract or a placebo to take daily for 12 weeks.Researchers found that the group taking A. conyzoides had statistically significant reductions in their total WOMAC scores (a measure of pain, stiffness, and function) compared to the placebo group at both week 9 and week 12. Pain scores, measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), were also significantly lower for the supplement group at weeks 9 and 12.Furthermore, the A. conyzoides group showed significant improvements in quality-of-life domains related to pain and role limitations due to physical health. The supplement also significantly reduced plasma levels of two inflammatory markers, IL-6 and IL-8, compared to placebo. The study concluded that A. conyzoides supplementation is a safe and effective option for reducing osteoarthritis symptoms.3.

The summer holidays are getting closer, meaning more Kiwis will be leaving their offices for breaks - but research shows they might not fully disconnect. New research shows fewer than half of New Zealand workers are fully disconnecting from the job when they're on holiday, putting them at risk of burnout. Massey University professor of management Dr Jarrod Haar says it's better for workers to make the most of their time off. "It is indicative, I think, of our modern day working society that it is just so easy to check your work emails on your smartphone, even down on the beach...and that has repercussions for our wellbeing."

Fatty liver disease (FLD) develops when fat builds up in liver cells, straining an organ vital for energy, metabolism, and detoxification. It is now the leading chronic liver disease worldwide and affects four in 10 U.S. adults A new study in the Journal of Translational Gastroenterology found higher urinary arsenic levels were strongly associated with a greater risk of FLD in the U.S. population Arsenic disrupts liver health by driving oxidative stress, impairing mitochondria, activating fat-storing pathways, and interfering with glucose regulation, all of which accelerate fat buildup and insulin resistance Rice and drinking water are the main everyday sources of arsenic exposure, with contamination often exceeding health-based safety limits and posing risks even at "low" levels Reducing seed oils and alcohol, improving choline intake, and avoiding arsenic-contaminated foods and beverages are key steps to protect your liver and lower your toxic burden
More than one in five babies are now born by C-section, and the numbers are expected to reach nearly one-third of all births by 2030, despite many cases lacking clear medical necessity Researchers from Stanford University found that C-section mothers were far more likely to experience severe postpartum pain and disrupted sleep, with over two-thirds reporting discomfort that interfered with rest and recovery Nationwide data showed that women who delivered by C-section were 16% more likely to develop new sleep disorders within a year after birth, including insomnia, sleep deprivation, and sleep apnea C-sections carry higher risks of infection, hemorrhage, blood clots, and complications in future pregnancies, while babies born this way face increased chances of respiratory distress, allergies, and autism Many cesarean deliveries can be avoided with the right preparation. Choosing a provider who supports natural birth, staying physically active, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight all lowers your risk
Dr. Annie Koempel is an anthropologist on the research team of the Lexington-based American Board of Family Medicine. She and a colleague recently conducted a study showing that despite all our progress, women in medicine are still not fairly compensated and recognized for their leadership and mentoring. The downstream effect is that this lack can result in poorer health care.

Every October 31st, kids go wild - costumes, sugar, excitement - but what if that same energy is quietly shaping ADHD diagnoses? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack a fascinating new study showing a 14% spike in ADHD diagnoses on Halloween day. They explore what this says about subjectivity in diagnosis, the risks of overlabelling kids, and how our environments - not just our children - might need rethinking. KEY POINTS: A new Harvard study found ADHD diagnoses rise 14% on Halloween compared to surrounding days. ADHD remains a subjective diagnosis — there’s no blood test or scan to confirm it. Why environment and maturity often explain behaviours mistaken for “disorder.” The real risks of misdiagnosis — medication, labelling, and self-perception. Why it’s time to look at what’s happening around kids, not just within them. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “There isn’t anything wrong with her — she just doesn’t fit the mould of what we consider normal.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Study: Halloween, ADHD, and Subjectivity in Medical Diagnosis (National Bureau of Economic Research) Searching for Normal by Sami Timimi The Parenting Revolution by Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Before seeking a diagnosis, consider context — sleep, stress, diet, and school environment. Avoid rushing to label; focus on understanding and supporting your child’s unique needs. Ask questions — about treatment pathways, environment, and alternative perspectives. Create calmer spaces where kids can regulate, play, and thrive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this alarming episode of Stinchfield, we pull back the curtain on a massive, under-reported scandal within Obamacare — one that hits taxpayers, honest insurers, and American healthcare consumers alike. Recent data from the Paragon Health Institute reveals a startling finding: by 2024, 35 % of all enrollees in ACA marketplace plans made no medical claims whatsoever — no doctor visit, no lab work, no prescriptions.That’s more than 11 million people enrolled in coverage yet using nothing. Analysts suggest many of these enrollees may be phantoms — individuals signed up without their knowledge or eligibility, or already covered elsewhere. If you’ve ever questioned whether the healthcare-insurance-government axis is working for you or against you, this episode is for you.

The Scanlon Foundation Research Institute's 2025 Mapping Social Cohesion Report reveals that 83 per cent of Australians view multiculturalism positively. Even among those who believe migration levels are too high, most still acknowledge its benefits, seeing migrants as good citizens (85 per cent) and contributors to the economy (66 per cent). However, it also notes negativity towards Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, and Sikh communities. Lead author James O'Donnell notes that economic disadvantage remains the strongest driver of low social cohesion, as financial hardship is linked to reduced trust, well-being, and community connection.

In daily five-minute flashpods we pass the mic to innovators, researchers and practitioners on the humanitarian front lines, delivering real-time news on how they are building, testing and collaborating on uses of artificial intelligence. In this flashpod, Erica Gralla, an Associate Professor at George Washington University , shares news about a new project seeking to understand the impact of recent aid funding cuts on the humanitarian and development system. The study specifically looks at how major funding cuts to U.S. aid programs in 2025 are affecting the sector. She calls on listeners who work in aid or development to participate in the study by taking a "global pulse survey". This project brings together three professors from the fields of engineering, policy, and international relations. Their goal is to understand how the funding cuts are affecting relationships, coordination, information sharing, and supply chains across organizations. By tracking how the aid ecosystem is adapting, the team hopes to capture lessons from this challenging period and help the humanitarian community chart a path forward. Erica and Humanitarian AI Today producer, Brent Phillips, discuss the survey in detail, how people can get involved, what the research team expects to learn, and the project's next steps.

This is because even though they hold extreme exclusionary beliefs, incels do not necessarily adhere to views that other far right groups tend to emphasize about nationalism, ethnicity and race. Kayla Preston is the lead on this study. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto in the department of sociology. She shares the findings and methodology with Jeff Douglas.
Elizabeth Laird, Director, Equity in Civic Technology at the Center for Democracy & Technology, joins Megan Lynch with a look at AI in K-12 schools and a new study's results.
Knee popping, also called crepitus, is common and not always linked to arthritis, so hearing sounds alone does not mean your joints are deteriorating A five-year study of young adults recovering from ACL surgery found that noisy knees were associated with early cartilage stress but did not predict long-term decline in function or pain Exercise is one of the most effective ways to protect noisy knees, as strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves helps stabilize the joint and reduces strain Lifestyle strategies like stretching, weight management, and modifying high-impact movements are often more effective than surgery, which is rarely needed for crepitus Collagen from high-quality supplements or bone broth supports cartilage, tendons, and ligaments, offering an extra layer of protection for long-term knee health
We studied up on some beefs (Strava v. Garmin, Taylor v. Charli, pastrami v. sirloin) before this awesome episode! The main science topic was a new study evaluating low carb and high carb approaches, with and without caffeine. It's another brick in the wall supporting higher carb for adaptation.We also talked about the Strava lawsuit! Last week, we defended Strava like the big fans we are, only for them to file suit against Garmin over decade-old patents a day later. It doesn't seem to make sense from the outside. But as last week shows, what do we know? We talk about the details and speculate on some theories.And this one was full of so many great topics! Other topics: Megan's hungry girl era, uphill treadmill threshold training, our hot (lukewarm) takes on Taylor Swift's new album, Kilian's mind-bending States of Elevation project, the new beta fuel gel with electrolytes, a study evaluating advanced foams in trail shoes, and an AI study on sleep and jet lag recommendations, plus a Q+A on forgetting to eat, carbs in team sports, balancing cycling and running, carbs per hour, training in supershoes, doing adventures while following a training plan, why max heart rate isn't a good metric to track over time (or base HR zones on), calculating hill gradients, and post-exercise ketones.Taylor Swift's song “Wood” says “I don't need to catch a bouquet, to know a hard rock is on the way.” We assume she is talking about the Hardrock 100 mile race and she has a way to get around the lottery. You really can have it all.We love you all!

NOW GET 15% off your order with the code VANESSA at bioptimizers.com/vanessa In today's solocast, we break down a brand new clinical trial that tested whether a high-protein diet really shuts down autophagy — and what it means for fat loss and body composition. For years, many believed that eating more protein would block the body's cellular clean-up process, and that only low-protein fasting diets could deliver longevity benefits. But does the science actually back that up? This new randomized controlled trial put high-protein and low-protein diets head-to-head, measuring weight loss, belly fat, metabolic health, and markers of autophagy. The results may surprise you — and they could change how we think about protein for fat loss and longevity.

In this episode, we examine the surprising homelessness rates in Germany and what's being done about it, as well as the recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, analyzing their potential impact on inflation, consumer behavior, and the broader economy. We discuss societal perceptions of obesity, the role of government policy in shaping economic outcomes, and the challenges of balancing economic growth with social welfare. Finally, we reflect on the importance of understanding economic indicators and their real-world implications. 00:00 Introduction 00:27 Homelessness and Poverty in Germany 12:20 New Study on Obesity 18:07 Foolishness of the Week: Pam Bondi on Hate Speech 27:13 The Fed Cuts Interest Rates 33:12 The Role of the Federal Reserve 38:41 The Fed's Inflation Problem 41:47 The Government's Borrowing Problem 46:16 Inflation is a Tax 48:20 The Effects of Political Influence on the Fed 49:37 Long-term Economic Impacts of Inflation 52:24 New Currency and the Value of Money 57:58 The Dangers of Centralized Digital Currency 01:01:43 Our Grim Economic Predictions 01:04:45 What Should We Do? 01:09:11 Conclusion Learn more about your ad choices.

The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount and gives us the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
