Dr. Carole Keim welcomes pediatric cardiologist Dr. Tal Gospin, MD, to The Baby Manual to talk about what pediatric cardiology is and how it differs from adult cardiology. Dr. Gospin explains how much of pediatric cardiology is concerned with congenital heart disease, abnormalities people are born with. She watches for the shape of an infant's heart and the sounds it makes, even in utero, and discusses exactly what she looks for with Dr. Keim. They explore fetal echocardiograms, infant heart function, and what parents can watch for in newborns to see if a pediatric cardiologist needs to be consulted. Dr. Gospin and Dr. Keim discuss when a baby's heart murmur should be referred to a pediatric cardiologist and the differences between an innocent murmur and a pathologic murmur. Innocent murmurs that appear in newborns typically disappear in infancy. Dr. Gospin shares that some types of pediatric cardiac issues will show up as a lack of weight gain in infants, and when to reach out to a pediatrician for a referral. They talk about echocardiograms and what to expect, whether the baby feels any discomfort or not from an EKG, and what the scans are looking for. They discuss breathholding episodes, fainting, and explain what's happening and what a parent can do. This episode provides a lot of insight into pediatric cardiology and gives parents insight into the functioning of their infant's heart.  Dr. Tal Gospin, MD:Dr. Tal Gospin graduated with honors from Washington University in St. Louis with her undergraduate degree in Psychology. She obtained a Masters in Physiology and her Medical Doctorate from Georgetown University School of Medicine, where she was elected into Alpha Omega Alpha, the National Medical Honor Society. Dr. Gospin continued on to pursue a pediatrics residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University in New York City. She then completed her fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas. Dr. Gospin's fellowship training included caring for patients with a broad spectrum of cardiac conditions and working with leading experts in the field of pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery. She concentrated her fellowship training on echocardiography, outpatient care for children with complex congenital heart disease, as well as fetal imaging and prenatal counseling.Dr. Gospin is board-certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Cardiology. Her clinical interests include transthoracic echocardiography, fetal imaging, evaluation and treatment of children with congenital and acquired heart disease, pediatric arrhythmias, as well as hypercholesterolemia and hypertension.

Masturbation is not a throwaway habit. It is training and you are probably doing it wrong. In this episode, I sit with sexologist and Love Lab host Kevin Anthony to show men how mindful self-pleasure upgrades stamina, sensitivity, and confidence in and out of the bedroom.We cover the biggest mistakes men make, including rushing to the finish and outsourcing arousal to porn. Kevin walks through the arousal scale, edging, and how to separate orgasm from ejaculation. We dig into delayed ejaculation, the “death grip,” desensitization, and how to resensitize your body. We also break down strokers, pumps, condoms, and when meds help or hinder. You get a practical framework to slow down, feel more, and choose when to ejaculate.Timestamps:00:00 Intro02:05 Why a masturbation practice matters for men05:12 How habits train performance in bed06:48 The speed problem and the orgasm gap08:58 Porn use.

Choses à Savoir SANTE
Quels sont les meilleurs aliments pour les sédentaires ?

Dans un monde où beaucoup d'entre nous passent de longues heures assis — au bureau, devant l'écran ou au volant — adopter une alimentation adaptée devient un vrai levier de santé. Une récente étude de l'Université de Birmingham, publiée dans The Journal of Physiology, montre l'intérêt de certains composés alimentaires spécifiques pour contrer les effets négatifs du comportement sédentaire.Les chercheurs ont montré que chez 40 jeunes hommes en bonne santé — 20 « hautement entraînés » et 20 « moins entraînés » — la consommation d'un breuvage riche en flavanols (environ 695 mg) avant deux heures consécutives d'inactivité assise permettait de préserver la fonction endothéliale, c'est-à-dire la capacité des vaisseaux sanguins à se dilater. En revanche, le breuvage à faible teneur en flavanols (moins de 6 mg) ne protégeait pas. En clair, certains aliments peuvent aider nos artères à rester souples même lorsque l'on bouge peu.Que retenir pour les sédentaires ? Trois grandes familles d'aliments se distinguent.Les aliments riches en flavanols et polyphénols. Ce sont eux que l'étude met en avant : cacao, chocolat noir, thé vert ou noir, pommes, baies… Ces molécules végétales puissantes contribuent à une meilleure santé vasculaire. Pour quelqu'un qui reste souvent assis, en consommer régulièrement peut aider à préserver la circulation sanguine et limiter le risque cardiovasculaire.Les légumes colorés et les fruits riches en fibres et antioxydants. Même si l'étude se concentre sur les flavanols, elle s'inscrit dans un schéma plus large. Les légumes-feuilles (épinards, kale), les betteraves, les fruits rouges et les agrumes soutiennent la régulation du métabolisme et limitent l'inflammation chronique souvent accentuée par la sédentarité.Les bonnes graisses et les protéines modérées. Chez les personnes peu actives, le métabolisme des graisses ralentit. Mieux vaut donc miser sur les acides gras insaturés (huile d'olive, noix, avocat) et les protéines maigres (poissons, légumineuses) plutôt que sur les graisses saturées qui favorisent la prise de poids.En conclusion, même sans activité physique intense, votre alimentation peut devenir un allié précieux. Les aliments riches en flavanols, comme l'a montré l'étude de l'Université de Birmingham, aident à maintenir un système vasculaire sain malgré la sédentarité. C'est une forme de protection nutritionnelle simple, mais scientifiquement prouvée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Academics and researchers leading the partnerships will focus on a range of areas including migration; cancer; hydrogen energy; multilingualism; accessible AI transformation; neurotherapies; and pain. ENLIGHT funding for 25 collaborative projects A total of €1.64million was awarded across the alliance to enable University of Galway staff to work with counterparts in 10 European countries across the ENLIGHT alliance, along with external stakeholders. The collaboration projects are all in areas linked to the University's key research pillars of Innovation for Health, Creativity, Culture and Society, Transformative Data and AI and Sustainable and Resilient Environments. Alexander Metcalfe, Vice-President for International, University of Galway, said: "ENLIGHT is a hugely positive initiative for University of Galway that has flourished in the last few years. This engagement with our ENLIGHT partners will support our strategic ambitions in education and research by providing diverse international opportunities to our university community and enabling our academics to further strengthen their international networks. "The focus of this second stage of ENLIGHT funding is on embedding the European University Alliance in each partner institution and in each country. Our 25 funded projects demonstrate that we are doing just that here in the west of Ireland and we look forward to seeing the outputs of these initiatives over the coming years." ENLIGHT is an alliance of ten European universities in ten European countries, with the aim of transforming higher education and empowering learners as globally engaged citizens. ENLIGHT is funded under the European University Initiative, part of the European Commission's flagship strategy for higher education. It is also supported by the Higher Education Authority. In 2023, the European Commission announced ENLIGHT would be supported with a four-year, €14.4 million investment, with a significant portion of that funding earmarked for academic collaboration, emphasising the alliance's commitment to supporting scholars. The collaborative projects are supported through the European Thematic Network initiative, which enables a community of multidisciplinary academic teams from at least three universities in the alliance to join forces around a specific topic with societal relevance and impact.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer introduces “Vitamin G”—gratitude—as a spiritual discipline and a biological signal that shifts the body from protect → heal. Beyond surface-level thank-yous, Justin unpacks embodied gratitude that rewires the brain, raises HRV, lowers cortisol, and realigns your nervous system with peace and presence. From worship playlists to breath-linked journaling, he shows how gratitude transforms physiology—and why it's the essential “vitamin” your soul needs to thrive.Episode HighlightsGratitude vs. Thankfulness: Moving from polite thanks to embodied reverence that changes state.Bio-Signal, Not Just Mindset: Gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest/repair), often reflected as higher HRV, better recovery, immune function, and emotional regulation.Neurochemistry of Gratitude: Engages the prefrontal cortex; supports serotonin & dopamine pathways → durable, positive neural wiring (not just a temporary mood).Faith Meets Physiology: Scripture's call to thanksgiving aligns with measurable stress reduction and decision clarity.Environment Matters: Music and inputs shift state (e.g., worship vs. “depressive playlist”); be the thermostat, not the thermometer.Real-World Wins: Clients who integrate gratitude stacks often see HRV and symptom improvements (e.g., brain fog, bloat) as stress load decreases.Pattern Interrupt (daytime): When stress hits, take one slow breath and recall one specific gratitude; notice the state shift.Evening Rewind (3–5 minutes): Play High–Low–Buffalo (high = win, low = challenge, buffalo = surprise) and find gratitude in each.Track Your HRV: Note last month's average; run the three practices for 7 days and compare average HRV, sleep quality, and mood.Worship Playlist: Start or end the day with gratitude-centered worship to prime the nervous system for calm, clarity, and connection.Scripture & Studies MentionedPsalm 100:4 — Enter his gates with thanksgiving (gratitude opens gates).Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know (stillness precedes state change).Gratitude & HRV / Parasympathetic Activation: Research linking gratitude journaling/practice to improved HRV, emotional regulation, and recovery.Neuroplasticity & Neurochemistry: Gratitude practices support prefrontal activation and serotonin/dopamine balance, reinforcing resilient pathways.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

In this episode, neuroscientist and U.S. Army sleep expert Dr. Allison Brager joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash to explore the real science behind sleep, recovery, and wearable technology. They discuss which devices actually deliver useful data, such as the Oura Ring for sleep tracking and Garmin for cardiovascular measurements, and why being consistent with one tool is more important than chasing perfect accuracy. Dr. Brager explains how wearables are now being used in place of sleep labs in both clinical and military settings to help athletes and operators make better recovery decisions. The conversation dives into practical ways to improve sleep and recovery for anyone pushing performance limits. Dr. Brager describes how sleep apnea can affect even lean, muscular athletes, with studies showing that more than half of Division I football players meet criteria for sleep apnea or insomnia. Just three nights of only five hours of sleep can cut testosterone levels in half. The group also discusses how vagus nerve stimulation, infrared light therapy, and temperature-controlled mattresses such as Eight Sleep can help the body relax, lower stress, and improve sleep quality, especially when used before bed or after long travel. They close by breaking down real-world strategies for recovery and training. Short 20- to 30-minute naps during the afternoon improve alertness, and caffeine can be used strategically during travel to reduce fatigue. Training is most effective when aligned with the body's circadian rhythm, with evening workouts often producing better strength results, while morning training can work after a few months of adjustment. Whether you are a soldier, athlete, or business leader, this episode is about using data, structure, and recovery habits to perform better and stay healthy over the long term. Outside of the laboratory, Allison was a two-time CrossFit Games (team) athlete, a two-time CrossFit Regionals (individual) athlete, and a four-year varsity NCAA Division I athlete in track and field.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

What are the parallels between an NFL player and your average golfer? More than you might think. Recently, NFL legend Jason Kelce asked himself a simple question: Could I still complete an NFL workout now that I'm retired? The result was a humbling reminder that even elite athletes lose strength, speed and capability if they stop training for the demands of their sport.And the truth is, the same principle applies to you and your golf game. If you want to generate rotational power, control the clubface, maintain mobility and swing consistently, you have to train those physical capabilities with purpose. Your body adapts to what you do most often — stop challenging it, and it stops being ready to perform.“Use it or lose it” isn't just a phrase — it's physiology.

Nobel in Medicine for a leash on our immune systemOur immune system has enormous power to defend us against the wide range of pathogens and invaders that nature sends at us. But it's a double-edged sword, and can target its powerful weapons against us as well. This year's Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology went to a group who discovered a critical mechanism that keeps the immune system in check, under normal circumstances, giving them new insights into the diseases that occur when it goes wrong.Yogurt with a creepy-crawly secret ingredientA team of researchers has duplicated an ancient recipe for yogurt that uses a unique ingredient to initiate fermentation: ants. They added squished ants to fresh milk, buried it in an anthill to incubate it, and enjoyed zesty yogurt soon after. A microbiological analysis showed that the ants contributed a bacteria to the yogurt that is also present in sourdough starter.An ancestor of the largest dinosaurs was a dog-sized bipedResearchers have discovered a 230 million year old fossil high in the Andes of Argentina that is the precursor to the giant, long-necked sauropod dinosaurs like the iconic brontosaurus. This animal, however, is a two-legged herbivore that likely weighed less than 20 kilograms.Nobel in Physics for making particles ghostlyQuantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon in which subatomic particles can pass through apparently impenetrable objects like magic. This year's Nobel prize in physics was awarded to a team that discovered that this strange quantum phenomena can happen on larger scales too, and this has been exploited in all sorts of modern technology, including quantum computers.Neanderthals systematically rendered fat from animal bonesScientists think that the fragmented bones of hundreds of animals discovered at a neanderthal site in Germany represent the remains of a large-scale processing site where they extracted nutritious and useful fat. This could be used for a range of things, from skin protection to preserving meat similar to pemmican.Moose are hot. Are they bothered?During the fall rut moose, particularly the males, are very active searching for mates and competing with rivals. This activity generates a large amount of heat, which could be a problem as moose don't sweat. Scientists are investigating if, in a warmer climate, this might be interfering with their reproductive success.

Nobel Prize for T Regulatory Cell Discovery, Chronic Pain Psychology, and Vaccine Dementia Protection

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-16-2025: Dr. Dawn explains the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology awarded to Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell for discovering T regulatory cells. Previously, medical teaching held that the thymus only eliminated self-attacking T cells, but Sakaguchi found that removing the thymus from newborn mice caused autoimmune disease, suggesting protective regulatory cells existed. He identified CD4+CD25+ cells that suppress inflammation and can convert other T cells. Brunkow and Ramsdell discovered the FOXP3 gene that controls these cells, linking mutations to severe autoimmune diseases like IPEX syndrome. Tissue-specific Tregs regulate metabolism in fat, maintain gut microbiome tolerance, promote wound healing in skin, and control muscle regeneration. Therapeutic applications include stopping type 1 diabetes, preventing organ rejection, and treating multiple sclerosis. An emailer asks about a study linking soft drinks to depression through gut bacteria changes. Dr. Dawn critiques the cohort association study for establishing only correlation, not causation, with a weak risk ratio of 1.1 representing just 10% increased association. She explains that bacteria can influence food cravings, making it unclear whether sodas change bacteria levels or bacteria drive soda consumption. Without Koch's postulates—isolating bacteria, growing them, and reproducing disease—the causal direction remains uncertain despite statistical significance. Dr. Dawn reads David Whyte's essay on injury as invitation to transformation, exploring how pain reveals vulnerability, changes identity, requires patience, and teaches compassion. She notes this perspective may come easier to men who reach midlife believing they control their bodies, while menstruation disabuses women of that illusion earlier. As a physician, she emphasizes the ego crisis when people transition from healthy to "person with disease," requiring identity restructuring that can shake foundations but also mature and strengthen individuals. A caller responds enthusiastically to the injury essay, citing quotes from André Gide, James Hillman, and Norman O. Brown about how illness opens doors to reality closed to healthy mindedness, how the soul sees through affliction, and how vulnerability is inherent to being human. Dr. Dawn agrees that many religions embrace wounds as paths to spiritual enlightenment and commits to deeper reflection on suffering's role in the human condition. Dr. Dawn discusses cognitive functional therapy for chronic back pain, describing firefighter Joe Lawrence who believed his spine was irreparably damaged until physical therapist Peter O'Sullivan challenged those beliefs. The therapy addresses psychological aspects by teaching that backs need movement, not protection, and that tensing muscles worsens pain. The three-step approach examines pain origins including emotional context, gradually reintroduces avoided activities while learning relaxation, and establishes healthy sleep and exercise routines. GLP-1 drug prices have dropped dramatically to $499 monthly at Costco due to compounding pharmacy competition. Dr. Dawn urges immunizations, noting studies show shingles vaccination reduces dementia risk by 20% over seven years, possibly by generating T regulatory cells that reduce brain inflammation. Natural experiments in England where vaccine rollout occurred at different times in different regions provided strong evidence. She explains that chickenpox vaccination in childhood prevents both chickenpox and future shingles. Even tetanus shots appear to lower dementia risk, suggesting vaccines activate immune responses that reduce chronic inflammation. She concludes with practical advice to reduce microplastic exposure by avoiding plastic cups and containers, especially with heat. Eight-year-old coffee makers contain twice the microplastics of six-month-old machines due to deterioration. She recommends ceramic cups, glass or metal kettles, removing food from plastic before cooking, and washing polyester clothing on low heat to minimize microplastic generation.

In Part Two of my conversation, with Professor Jeremy Jamieson we explore the fascinating dynamics of stress and resilience, specifically emphasising the roles parents can play in helping their children grow up resilient and strong. We discuss the importance of fostering a positive relationship with stress and understanding the biological and psychological factors that play into this often misunderstood aspect of life. What You'll Learn: Understanding Stress: Discover how stress functions as a natural response and how it can be beneficial rather than detrimental. Challenge vs. Threat Mindsets: Learn why perceiving stress as a challenge rather than a threat can completely alter the physiological response. Parenting Techniques for Resilience: Get insights into how parents can prepare their children for life's challenges by encouraging them to tackle difficult situations head-on. Key Takeaways: Stress is Not the Enemy: Stress, when approached properly, can be a tool for growth and resilience rather than a harmful force. It’s about perception and management. Parents as Guides, Not Rescuers: Instead of removing obstacles for your children, teach them to navigate these challenges. Encourage them to be proactive and resilient. Develop a Toolbox for Stress Management: Different situations require different responses—having a flexible approach to managing stress is crucial. The Role of Physiology in Stress: Understanding and managing physiological responses through activities such as regular exercise, sleep hygiene, and possibly cold immersion sessions can help in dealing with stress effectively. Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle: Adequate sleep, nutrition, and limiting technology use can have profound impacts on mental health, influencing stress levels and resilience capacity.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognized groundbreaking advances in understanding immune regulation — but what do they mean for people living with autoimmune disease? In this episode, Dr. Shilpa Venkatachalam, Chief Patient-Centered Research and Ethical Oversight Officer at GHLF, joins Steven to explore how our immune system knows when to act — and when to stop. Shilpa explains the importance of these discoveries, why immune “brakes” matter in autoimmune conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, and how research breakthroughs can lead to better treatments. She also shares why patients are key partners in turning lab science into real-world therapies. Tune in to learn how Nobel-winning science could help unlock better care for autoimmune disease.

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the most consistently supported ergogenic aids in sports nutrition research, yet its underlying mechanisms and real-world applications remain widely misunderstood. More recent developments have focused on how to optimise both the timing and formulation of supplementation. The “individualised ingestion timing” approach has emerged as a practical strategy, recognising that the time-to-peak blood bicarbonate concentration varies considerably between individuals. Similarly, novel formulations are being explored to address issues with gastrointestinal distress and practicality of dosing. These include topical approaches such as sodium bicarbonate lotion, and commercial products like Maurten's “Bicarb System.” In this episode, Prof. Lewis Gough joins to discuss the latest evidence on sodium bicarbonate and performance, its mechanisms, novel delivery systems, and the key directions for future research. Dr. Lewis Gough is Associate Professor in Nutrition and Physiology at Birmingham City University.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety.

Together, they dive deep into: What nitric oxide is and why it's foundational for human health. How nitric oxide is made in the body—through both enzymatic and dietary pathways. The connection between nitric oxide, inflammation, oxidative stress, and the Cell Danger Response (CDR). How nitric oxide influences thyroid hormone production, conversion (T4 → T3), and the rise of reverse T3. Why loss of nitric oxide is one of the earliest triggers in chronic disease, including Hashimoto's, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and more. Common disruptors of nitric oxide production—nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and even fluoride exposure. Practical steps to restore nitric oxide production naturally for better thyroid, metabolic, and overall health. This is a powerful conversation that reframes nitric oxide not as just a cardiovascular molecule, but as a master regulator of cellular health, energy production, and thyroid physiology.

Most of us will never have our insulin levels tested, yet this single hormone is the body's master regulator of energy. When it stops working properly, almost every system in the body is affected, from how we store fat, to how we age. Today's guest is Dr Ben Bikman, a scientist and world-leading expert on insulin and metabolism. He's a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University (BYU) and has spent years researching how changes inside our cells lead to common metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world and is the author of 2 books, Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. In this conversation, we discuss: Why insulin is the body's “master hormone”, guiding how we store and use energy and how resistance to it can cause a wide range of chronic health problems. The fact that almost 9 in 10 adults show signs of poor metabolic health, and why this is a global issue that affects countries far beyond the United States. How ethnicity and genetics shape the way we store fat, explaining why two people of the same weight and size can face very different risks of conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Why focusing only on blood glucose misses the early warning signs of poor metabolic health, and why measuring insulin levels offers a clearer and earlier picture of risk. The visible clues your body may already be giving you – such as skin tags or darker, velvety patches of skin around the neck or armpits – that can indicate chronically elevated insulin. Practical strategies to bring insulin down, from reducing refined sugars and starches to spacing out meals and experimenting with fasting in ways that work for both men and women. So often, we're told that chronic illnesses are inevitable or a natural part of ageing. But as Ben explains, many of these conditions have a common origin – and by focusing on insulin resistance, we can take powerful steps towards prevention and even reversal. This conversation is not about fear, but empowerment. It's a reminder that our everyday choices – how and what we eat, how we move, and how often we give our bodies a rest from food – can profoundly influence our future health.
