In this episode Prof Brett McDermott is in conversation with A/Prof Yoram Barack about the Kioku project. This study is looking to test new ways to reduce loneliness. Loneliness has an incredibly negative impact on health, especially so for older adults. Rates of loneliness are creeping up in most high income and middle income countries, especially for women and men over the age of 70. Based on some research that was developed and tested in the early 2020s and this is the beginning of a journey of developing games in which we share personal true stories with each other and reduce loneliness. A/Prof Yoram Barak's research interests include multiple sclerosis, cancer, a wide range of psychiatric conditions (such as depression, schizophrenia, and obsessive–compulsive disorder), old-age psychiatry, and suicide. He is also interested in Alzheimer's Disease and has published a popular book called "Preventing Alzheimer's: A Personal Responsibility".Prof Brett McDermott is an Australian medical graduate who trained in Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in the UK and Sydney. Apart from being a Professor at the University of Tasmania, he holds other academic appointments: By-Fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge University; Adjunct Professor at JCU; Professorial Fellow at Mater Research and from 2006-2016 was a Board Director of beyondblue: the National Depression Initiative.

Julie Aitken Schermer, a professor of psychology at Western University, joins host Jeff Douglas to talk about a study that tries to determine what kind of drivers like having noisy tailpipes — and why you might want to avoid them, on the road and otherwise.

Today, I'm excited to share insights from a paper authored by a team of surgeons based in Rome, Italy.The article, titled Modified Mediterranean-Ketogenic Diet and Carboxytherapy as Personalized Therapeutic Strategies in Lipedema: A Pilot Study, was published in the esteemed peer-reviewed journal Nutrients in August 2023.The primary objective of this study is to gauge the effectiveness of a tailored modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MMKD), either with or without carboxytherapy, in addressing various symptoms of lipedema, including alterations in body composition, pain levels, overall health status, and quality of life.

Commentary by Dr. Candice Silversides

I was honored that one of my readers asked for my assistance in evaluating the health claims made by products referred to as “Hormonal Teas”. The specific advertisement she referenced was from a company called “Avery Apothecary” and the product is “Goddess Tea Blend.” The product makes several claims on their website: “Ladies, enjoy a cup of this tea every day and the synergy of the plants help to restore and keep balance in your cycle. Regular health and hormone upkeep can help prevent issues in the future, can help to ease symptoms of PMS and any pain associated with your period. When you experience symptoms related to your cycle is not the time to fix the issues, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Enjoy this blend daily to support your hormones all cycle long.” (link)The website does have a pretty large disclaimer on the page. Which on one hand, is reassuring that they are being transparent and honest about the limitations of the data supporting the claims. But on the other hand, doesn't demonstrate a high level of confidence that the claims are supported by research. Here is the disclaimer: “Disclaimer: These products have not been evaluated by the FDA. The information we provide is intended for educational purposes only and is not meant to represent or replace the advice of a medical professional or to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. It is the responsibility of the customer to test products for allergies before use of products. The ingredients are listed on each product and we do our best to eliminate cross contamination between products. Some people will have allergies to certain plants or botanicals so please test before use to ensure you do not have an allergy. Stop using immediately if an allergic reaction, redness or irritation occurs. We are not responsible for the misuse or reactions to our products. Usage is always at the buyer's own risk. Please reach out to a professional for any possible contraindications and/or interactions with medications and be sure to inform your doctor about all herbal remedies or supplements you are taking.”Let's take a look at each of the claims independently and evaluate the research. The claims are pretty impressive: * Helps to restore and maintain balance in the menstrual cycle.* Supports regular health and hormone upkeep to prevent future issues.* Aids in easing symptoms of PMS. Provides relief from any pain associated with menstruation.* Continuous hormonal support throughout the menstrual cycle.Let's look at each claim independently. * Helps to restore and maintain balance in the menstrual cycle:* Marjoram tea showed beneficial effects on the hormonal profile of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing levels of adrenal androgens (Haj-Husein, Tukan, & Alkazaleh, 2016).* However, this study was very small (25 individuals), it was only looking at patients with PCOS, and it was only a Pilot Study which requires further research. * Chinese herbal medicine was found to improve menstrual rates in women with PCOS, suggesting potential benefits in menstrual cycle regulation (Lai et al., 2017).* However, this is a small study (40) and once again it was only looking at patients with an existing medical condition. This was also a pilot study which requires further research. * Supports regular health and hormone upkeep to prevent future issues.:* This claim is too vague to be evaluated accurately with randomized controlled trials. * Aids in easing symptoms of PMS. Provides relief from any pain associated with menstruation:* Chamomile tea was effective in relieving pain related to primary dysmenorrhea (cramps or painful period) and its consequent psycho-social problems (Jenabi & Ebrahimzadeh, 2010).* However, this was a very small (80) experimental study, that only asked participants to drink 2 cups of chamomile tea and report their PMS symptoms after 1 month. * Ginger tea significantly reduced heavy menstrual bleeding among high school girls, providing relief from dysmenorrhea (Kashefi et al., 2015).* This was probably the strongest of the studies that I found. It was well designed and it seemed to show a reduction in the menstrual bleeding of high school students. The participants were instructed to take 3 - 250mg tablets of ginger compared to the control group that was given a lactose pill. It did provide an improvement. * Concerns: The participants were not exactly given a “hormonal tea” they were given a high dose pill amounting to about 750mg of ginger each day. Would you be able to ingest 750 mg of ginger to match this amount by drinking this hormonal tea? I'm not really sure but I'm a bit skeptical on that. * Continuous hormonal support throughout the menstrual cycle:* I wasn't able to find any RCT' studies that examined this claim specifically. Conclusion & ResultsDo “Hormonal Teas” work? Maybe. There is some evidence that the individual ingredients contained in some hormonal teas could alleviate some of the pains, cramping, and heavy bleeding associated with PMS. However, the studies are small, many are pilot studies, and none of the studies evaluate the effectiveness of Hormonal Teas specifically. In most cases, they just look at the individual ingredients and they are often tested on individuals that already have a medical condition. In my layman's view, the jury is still out. If I was advising my wife or loved one on Hormonal Teas', I'd probably say: “There is some evidence that the individual ingredients contained in some “Hormonal Teas'“ may help alleviate some of the symptoms of PMS, however there aren't any studies that I could find that evaluate the claims of Hormonal Tea blends specifically. Since the products seem to be safe, if you enjoy drinking them, there doesn't appear to be any harm in consuming them. However, I would stay away from any high priced premium products that make grandiose medical claims and I would try to buy the highest quality ingredients directly like ginger and chamomile. These ingredients were the ones specifically tested and they are fairly generic, fairly cheap, and did show some effectiveness in these limited studies.

GUEST: Kevin Brindle, CambridgeIn this episode we welcome the one and only Kevin Brindle from University of Cambridge.During his long and illustrious career, Kevin pioneered hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a method to map metabolic flux in cancer and other diseases, with implications for treatment response monitoring.We explore how deuterium imaging and [18F]FDG PET can be used to track the metabolic changes that occur soon after stroke and during the recovery phase. We discuss the complementary information that these two techniques provide and whether they could be used to improve clinical outcomes.Along the way, we learn how Kevin could have worked in structural biology or been a painter and decorator... and how he used to meet his wife-to-be in the cold room when he was a postdoc at Oxford.Selected Publication: In vivo imaging of cerebral glucose metabolism informs on subacute to chronic post-stroke tissue status - A pilot study combining PET and deuterium metabolic imaging.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Two Years of Shrimp Welfare Project: Insights and Impact from our Explore Phase, published by Aaron Boddy on September 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Shrimp Welfare Project launched in Sep 2021, via the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. We aim to reduce the suffering of billions of farmed shrimps. This post summarises our work to date, what we plan to work on going forward, and clarifies areas where we're not focusing our attention. This post was written to coincide with the launch of our new (Shr)Impact page on our website. We have four broad workstreams: corporate engagement, farmer support, research, and raising issue salience. We believe our key achievements to date are: Corporate engagement: Our Humane Slaughter Initiative (commitments with large producers to purchase electrical stunners, such as MER Seafood, and Seajoy), ongoing conversations with UK retailers (including Marks & Spencer, who now have a published Decapod Welfare Policy), and contributing to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's (ASC) Shrimp Welfare Technical Working Group. Humane Slaughter Initiative: This work in particular seems to be our most promising work so far, and we Guesstimate that our work to date will reduce the suffering of ~1B shrimps (in expectation per year) at a cost-effectiveness of ~1,300 shrimps per $ (in expectation per year). Farmer support: The launch of the Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India (SSFI) program, Scoping Reports in India and Vietnam, a Pilot Study in India, and MoUs with prominent farmer-facing stakeholders (in Gujarat, and with ThinkAqua) Research: Working on a number of research projects to answer some of our key uncertainties, such as the Shrimp Welfare Report, an Alternative Shrimps report, a Supply & Demand economic analysis, a Consumer Research report, an Impact Roadmap, and coordinating academic research on the effectiveness of electrical stunning. Raising issue salience: Highlighting the issue of shrimp welfare through conferences/podcasts/articles in the shrimp industry, animal welfare, and Effective Altruism spaces. in addition to working in coalitions with other orgs in this space (i.e. EuroGroup for Animals, and the Aquatic Animal Alliance). As we are moving into our Exploit phase, we plan to focus our work on the following key projects: Humane Slaughter Initiative: Significantly accelerating the adoption of electrical stunning prior to slaughter in the farmed shrimp industry is a key goal of ours. We do this by purchasing the first stunner for a few different medium-large producers in different countries/contexts and in different farming systems in order to remove barriers to uptake. We believe we can realistically absorb ~$2,000,000 in funding over the next couple of years for our Humane Slaughter Initiative, at a cost-effectiveness of 1,500+ shrimps per $ per year, depending on producer volume and demand from their buyers.. Sustainable Shrimp Farmers of India: Our farmer support project is still somewhat exploratory, but we are excited by the tractability of interventions we have tested, such as offering free welfare-focused technical advice to farmers via WhatsApp, and promoting additional pond preparation (such as sludge removal) and lower stocking densities. Shrimp Welfare Index: Building on the Shrimp Welfare Report, and our experience trying to standardise a set of Asks across all the shrimp production systems, we wanted to clearly define what "higher welfare" looks like across different contexts. The Index offers an assessment of current practices and provides clear, actionable processes for improving shrimp welfare depending on the issues present in each pond. V1 of the Index is nearly complete, but we expect to iterate and test it over the next year, with the Index likely becoming a core part of SWPs work in...

Her Website: resilience-healthcare.com Introductory Course to Covid and TMS: • Chronic Symptoms and the Nervous System • Long COVID class 1 Introduction Here is her Bio: I am a family medicine physician with a lifelong interest in the mind body connection. I initially went into medicine because of my fascination with the body's ability to heal itself. After two decades of treating patients with the typical medicines and procedures, I have finally found what I was looking for with this new model to treat chronic symptoms and help people heal themselves. I grew up in Ann Arbor Michigan and attended Vassar college. I graduated from the University of Michigan medical school in 1999 and moved to Portland Oregon for residency in family medicine at OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University). After years of seeing patients with many chronic symptoms we couldn't effectively help, it didn't make sense to me that we couldn't do more. I developed an intense curiosity to see what other information was out there. I searched for years, constantly learning about new science and different approaches. Fortunately I learned of Howard Schubiner MD and David Clark MD and the new model I had been searching for. I learned everything I could about this approach and have been successfully using it with patients at Kaiser Permanente and will open my own practice in the fall with this model as the sole focus of my practice.

Interview with Alex Underwood, Managing Director of Empire Energy (ASX: EEG)Empire Energy, an ASX listed company, is an active developer in the Betaloo Basin, Australia's Northern Territory, with a growing resource and advancing pilot study. The company has drilled significant horizontal wells over the past year and observed encouraging flow rates from these wells. They also reported a substantial resource upgrade, now holding 1.7 trillion cubic feet of independently assessed discovered resource.The company's focus is shifting towards pilot production, including all the groundwork needed to arrive at a final investment decision for the project. They aim to start construction in the coming year and move into production shortly after. The end goal is to make the company attractive to the market and potential acquirers.Empire Energy has a prospective resource of over 40 trillion cubic feet of gas, which could provide significant LNG exports. They are aiming to de-risk this vast resource and see a potential for substantial value creation, similar to the experiences of other unconventional oil and gas companies in Australia and the US.The company plans to bring large international oil and gas companies into the project as joint venture partners. However, these potential partners need to see that the gas can be commercially extracted before making significant investments. The pilot project, therefore, aims to provide longer-term flow data and repeatability of results to convince potential future partners.The market opportunity for Empire Energy's gas is strong, with Australia facing significant shortages on its East Coast. The company is receiving strong interest for gas from the pilot project and views this as a significant driver of near-term value.

Abstract: Background: Individuals with schizophrenia are at elevated genetic risks for comorbid cannabis use, and often experience exacerbations of cognitive and psychotic symptoms when exposed to cannabis. These findings have led a number of investigators to examine cannabinoid CB1 receptor (CB1R) alterations in schizophrenia, though with conflicting results. We recently demonstrated the presence of CB1R in both excitatory and inhibitory boutons in the human prefrontal cortex, with differential levels of the receptor between bouton types. We hypothesized that the differential enrichment of CB1R between bouton types - a factor previously unaccounted for when examining CB1R changes in schizophrenia - may resolve prior discrepant reports and increase our insight into the effects of CB1R alterations on the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Methods: Using co-labeling immunohistochemistry and fluorescent microscopy, we examined total CB1R levels and CB1R levels within excitatory (vGlut1-positive) and inhibitory (vGAT-positive) boutons of prefrontal cortex samples from ten pairs of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and non-psychiatric comparisons. Results: Significantly higher total CB1R levels were found within samples from individuals with schizophrenia. Terminal type-specific analyses identified significantly higher CB1R levels within excitatory boutons in samples from individuals with schizophrenia relative to comparisons. In contrast, CB1R levels within the subset of inhibitory boutons that normally express high CB1R levels (presumptive cholecystokinin neuron boutons) were lower in samples from individuals with schizophrenia relative to comparison samples. Conclusion: Given CB1Rs role in suppressing neurotransmission upon activation, these results suggest an overall shift in excitatory and inhibitory balance regulation toward a net reduction of excitatory activity in schizophrenia.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Can we trust wellbeing surveys? A pilot study of comparability, linearity, and neutrality, published by Conrad S on March 17, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Note: This post only contains Sections 1 and 2 of the report. For the full detail of our survey and pilot results, please see the full report on our website. Summary Subjective wellbeing (SWB) data, such as answers to life satisfaction questions, are important for decision-making by philanthropists and governments. Such data are currently used with two important assumptions: Reports are comparable between persons (e.g., my 6/10 means the same as your 6/10) Reports are linear in the underlying feelings (e.g., going from 4/10 to 5/10 represents the same size change as going from 8/10 to 9/10). Fortunately, these two assumptions are sufficient for analyses that only involve the quality of people's lives. However, if we want to perform analyses that involve trade-offs between improving quality and quantity of life, we also need knowledge of the neutral point, the point on a wellbeing scale that is equivalent to non-existence. Unfortunately, evidence on all three questions is critically scarce. We propose to collect additional surveys to fill this gap. Our aim with this report is two-fold. First, we give an outline of the questions we plan to field and the underlying reasoning that led to them. Second, we present results from an initial pilot study (n = 128): Unfortunately, this small sample size does not allow us to provide clear estimates of the comparability of wellbeing reports. However, across several question modalities, we do find tentative evidence in favour of approximate linearity. With respect to neutrality, we assess at what point on a 0-10 scale respondents say that they are 'neither satisfied nor dissatisfied' (mean response is 5.3/10). We also probe at what point on a life satisfaction scale respondents report to be indifferent between being alive and being dead (mean response is 1.3/10). Implications and limitations of these findings concerning neutrality are discussed in Section 6.2. In general, the findings from our pilot study should only be seen as being indicative of the general feasibility of this project. They do not provide definitive answers. In the hopes of fielding an improved version of our survey with a much larger sample and a pre-registered analysis plan, we welcome feedback and suggestions on our current survey design. Here are some key questions that we hope to receive feedback on: Are there missing questions that could be included in this survey (or an additional survey) that would inform important topics in SWB research? Are there any questions or proposed analyses you find redundant? Do you see any critical flaws in the analyses we propose? Are there additional analyses we should be considering? Would these data and analyses actually reassure you about the comparability, linearity, and neutrality of subjective wellbeing data? If not, what sorts of data and analyses would reassure you? What are some good places for us to look for funding for this research? Of course, any other feedback that goes beyond these questions is welcome, too. Feedback can be sent to casparkaiser@gmail.com or to samuel@happierlivesinstitute.org. The report proceeds as follows: In Section 1, we describe the challenges for the use of self-reported subjective wellbeing data, focusing on the issues of comparability, linearity, and neutrality. We highlight the implications of these three assumptions for decision-making about effective interventions. In Section 2, we describe the general methodology of the survey. For the following sections, see the full report on our website. In Section 3, we discuss responses to the core life satisfaction question. In Sections 4, 5, and 6, we describe how we will assess co...

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.02.522524v1?rss=1 Authors: Ganesan, S., Moffat, B., Van Dam, N., Lorenzetti, V., Zalesky, A. Abstract: Objectives: Mapping the neurobiology of meditation using 3 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) has burgeoned recently. However, limitations in signal quality and neuroanatomical resolution have impacted reliability and precision of extant findings. Although ultra-high strength 7 Tesla MRI overcomes these limitations, investigation of meditation using 7 Tesla fMRI is still in its infancy. Methods: In this feasibility study, we scanned 10 individuals who were beginner meditators using 7 Tesla fMRI while they performed focused attention meditation and non-focused rest. We also measured and adjusted the fMRI signal for key physiological differences between meditation and rest. Finally, we explored the 2-week impact of the single fMRI meditation session on mindfulness, anxiety and focused attention attributes. Results: Group-level task fMRI analyses revealed significant reductions in activity during meditation relative to rest in Default-mode network hubs, i.e., antero-medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices, precuneus, as well as visual and thalamic regions. These findings survived stringent statistical corrections for fluctuations in physiological responses which demonstrated significant differences (p less than 0.05/n, Bonferroni controlled) between meditation and rest. Compared to baseline, State Mindfulness Scale (SMS) scores were significantly elevated (F = 8.16, p less than 0.05/n, Bonferroni controlled) following the fMRI meditation session, and were closely maintained at 2-week follow up. Conclusions: This pilot study establishes the feasibility and utility of investigating focused attention meditation using ultra-high strength (7 Tesla) fMRI, by supporting widespread evidence that focused attention meditation attenuates Default-mode activity responsible for self-referential processing. Future functional neuroimaging studies of meditation should control for physiological confounds and include behavioural assessments. Copy rights belong to original authors.

"Heart rate variability has really come to the forefront in the last 40 years as being the most important biomarker for tracking health and recovery on a regular basis, and not just health and recovery, but resilience." (Neurohacker Collective) Watch this interview here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8wbt2o-lO1I   It's something we've covered on past episodes[i] including our most recent EP #228 where we reviewed Heart Rate Variability, what it is, why it's important to track, with tips to increase it, for increased capacity throughout our day.   On this episode we will learn:  ✔  How Rohan Dixit created a wearable device for stress relief, based on his own personal struggles. ✔  The ONE THING that most of us are missing when it comes to improving our mental health and well-being. ✔  How Rohan came across HRV in his research and why as a neuroscientist he looked outside of the brain for a solution for our mental health and well-being. ✔ REVIEW: What is HRV and why it is an important biomarker to measure. ✔ Why tracking HRV in real-time helpful for our mental well-being. ✔ How we can all improve our stress levels by looking at our data. ✔ What is biofeedback and how does it work? ✔ The most common ways to decrease our HRV, that we should all be aware of. ✔ The research behind HRV as a drug-free solution to stress and anxiety reduction. ✔ How to get started and receive 15% off your first month using the code ANDREA. NOW IMAGINE THIS! What if you could see your HRV in real time throughout the day, so you know what's helping this important score, or hurting it? We will cover this on today's episode as we meet with Rohan Dixit, the founder of Lief Therapeutics (a wearable stress relief device) that's designed to help us to overcome stress and worry from the inside out. Stay tuned and we'll explain how this ground-breaking device can help ALL OF US  to improve our health, as we learn self-regulation strategies using the device, that will eventually become a habit, showing us how to break free of anything that might be holding us back. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use for immediate results, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and educator with a passion for learning specifically on the topics of health, wellbeing and productivity, and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is to our everyday life and results using the most current brain research. If there's a tool, strategy or resource that I find, that could be helpful to improve productivity and results, whether we are a teacher in the classroom, a coach or in the modern workplace, I will share it here. On today's episode #248, we will be speaking with Rohan Dixit, the founder of Lief Therapeutics, to see if we can sharpen our saw with our understanding of HRV, a biomarker that's known for tracking health and recovery as well as resilience. What I think is absolutely incredible with this wearable stress relief device, is that you'll see that the point of wearing this device, is to train us to breathe in a certain way to relieve our stress, anxiety and worry (that it will pick up) and then help to calm us down, so we won't need to rely of the device. Rohan's mission is not about the money he could make with the device, but truly about helping people to be able to manage their own problems, without the use of medicine, or pills, or those things we do that we know relieve stress in the short term, but are bad for our overall health in the long term. I can't wait to speak with Rohan Dixit, and explore the technology he created in his garage, (he's a real Steve Jobs story) and the idea was based on his own personal struggles with anxiety and depression when he was younger, that he overcame, and then used his experience to help others. Let's meet Rohan Dixit, the founder of Lief Therapeutics, and see how this device works, to improve our mental health and wellbeing from the inside out. Welcome Rohan, it's incredible to meet you after wearing the device you invented and now I have this incredible opportunity to ask YOU questions about it.  This is amazing. Thank you for joining me today. I'm wearing mine today, and curious, do you wear yours every day or have you gotten the point to where you can self-regulate without it? INTRO: To start off, Rohan, I had a blast researching your work, and am so glad I listened to you on The Abstract Doctors Podcast[ii] because I tend to more on the serious side, and could lighten up my interviews to make them more fun/less stressful and as I was learning more about you, I was dying laughing with these two doctors covering your Lief Device. They were asking why it's called Lief, and they were guessing “it's about turning over a new leaf?” Why is it called Lief? Then I watched your clip of the Today Show[iii] with Hoda and Savanna trying out your device, and I thought, wow, I take learning and this podcast a bit too seriously because they were having such a good time investing the high stress parts of their day.  Since you are an expert at helping people relieve stress, I wonder what tips you would have for me or anyone else these days who spends most of their day sitting at a desk? What are most of us missing that could help us handle life's pressures/stresses better? Q1: I know there has to be a story here of how you came to be the founder of Lief Therapeutics that is focused on helping people to overcome stress and worry from the inside out. Where did this begin for you? Q2: Where did you come across HRV, and is there really a story like Steve Jobs where you started this whole idea in your garage? Q3: Can you give me YOUR definition of HRV for the lay person who is tuning in, and has no idea what it is? (We have talked about it often on this podcast but I recently reviewed it when I became stuck explaining it to someone else). Q4: Tracking HRV in real time is such an incredible idea. I track with a device that gives me a daily score and I wake up dying to see my score, hoping for improvements as I'm working on certain strategies. Why would someone need to know their HRV levels throughout certain parts of their day? How does this help them? I think I heard you say this knowledge is like our “superpower!” What do you mean by that? Q4B: Is the strap for athletes who might need to measure their HRV during play? Q5: So I wrote your questions BEFORE trying out the device and wanted to add a snapshot of my work day, to see what you see with my bar graph. I had an important LIVE presentation on Monday morning that I practiced all weekend for, and wore the Lief device thinking it would show how calm I was under pressure. Then the unexpected happened and I had 2 major unforeseen tech issues that really threw me off. I'd like to know If you look at my Monday morning, what do you see but I want to guess and see if I have the right idea of this first? This is what I see: I started out calm (green) which is the 60th-80th percentile and then as the time for the presentation came closer, I went into yellow, lowering my HRV to 20-40th percentile, most of the time presenting was yellow, with some RED (o-20th percentile) that happened about the time of the tech issue, and I ended up back to GREEN. While I was hoping to show you all GREEN with my morning, I can see that I had some moments of stress, but when something goes wrong, and we need to think and troubleshoot our way out of problems, I think this was me at yellow, thinking and not shut down in RED.  What do you see with these colors?     Q6: Now that we've talked about Lief measures, I wonder How exactly does the device work? What is this idea of biofeedback, and why are the sensors so important? 6B: What should we be looking for? We have already talked about the bar graph at the top of the dashboard that shows our HRV in real time. I put my WEEK 1 and WEEK 2 of using the device in the show notes to look at. Just glancing at my week 1 vs week 2, I can see my range improved from 46-55 (week 1) to 52-61 week 2, going from 65% success to 72% success. What should everyone be looking for in their first few weeks of using Lief to know that we are in fact showing an improvement? Q7: Have you ever done experiments like I've seen people do with glucose monitors, and look to see what are a few of the most common ways to increase your stress and decrease HRV? Q7B: I've been tracking my HRV and RHR with a different device since I heard Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast on the effects of alcohol on our brain and body[iv], and after I heard how bad it is for us, I don't think I'll ever drink alcohol again. After stopping this toxin, I'm watching my HRV skyrocket up. After 2 weeks, my HRV went from 76 to 84 and after a month it's jumped up to the 90s.  I know it's clear that alcohol impacts our HRV, giving us less capacity to handle stress throughout our day, but what else have you noticed affects us in this drastically? (sleep, diet, hydration I'm sure…anything surprising you've seen)?   Q8: What's involved for individuals who want to try it out, as well as health care providers? Do people just click on the link you provided for our listeners to get started? Q9: What research backs this drug-free solution to stress and anxiety[v]? Q10: I know this is way too many questions, but if I make them fun, I'm sure you won't mind answering them! Is there anything important I have missed? Thank you, Rohan, for sharing your groundbreaking program for us. For people who want to learn more, I do hope they will click on the affiliate link and test the device out, like I did, and see what they notice. I noticed a difference on the first day of using the device and it was surprising to me that it picked up times of my day where I felt anxiety (like before I go to sleep) and didn't realize it. I think the Lief device is an incredible solution for anyone who is anxious about something, to help to train themselves to calm down, and self-regulate without the need for drugs, or alcohol that we know is bad for our brain. Thank you again Rohan for coming on the podcast, and for your time today. Some Final Thoughts on This Episode:  As we close out this episode, I wanted to let you know that Rohan and I chatted a bit at the end, after we finished recording. It became clear to me that he had created this device, and coaching to help others, and it's NOT about the money. From the product creation side, we do need money to sustain our business, so it's not going to be free, obviously. If you click on the link, it will take you to a page to get started. The device costs $49/month and the coaching is $50/month for a total of $107.95/month which at first glance can seem like it's high. I thought about this before trying it out, and what I would say to others who might also want to try it. If you've ever gone to therapy for a problem you've had, I know I've paid much more than this, in addition to doctor visits for our health and wellness, so I think about this device to be like training wheels to help us to use HRV as a biomarker, that will make us more resilient to stress, once we've learned to breathe in a way that the device shows will calm us down, and the coaching will help with all the questions, and data analysis to be sure you are going in the right direction. Once you've got the hang of controlling your HRV through breath work, you shouldn't need to use this device. I hope this has helped you, like it did for me, to see there are tools and resources in the world that can help us to improve our resilience to stress.

Many see benzo withdrawal as an epic, exhausting, never-ending battle — but what if it doesn't have to be? In the final part of this three-part series, you'll learn how to step back, get out of your own way, and let your body heal. Kindness — both to yourself and to those around you — is a hidden secret to recovery. Anger and resentment have never been a recipe for healing. And finding acceptance of your condition and compassion for all involved is the surest way to have peace and finally discover your new life on the other side. https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-3-bfp005Video ID: BFP005 Chapters 00:00 Introduction03:05 Q&A09:00 Feature: Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal (Part 3)21:59 Moment of Peace  Episode Summary Welcome to the third segment of our 3-part series on Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal. This series is derived from a chapter in my book titled, “Managing the Fear,” which focuses on reducing the fear, anxiety, and stress during benzo withdrawal. Before we dive too deep into our featured topic, we will chat a bit and cover a couple of questions in our Q&A section on detox with flumazenil and which drug is the hardest to withdraw from  Feature Series SERIES: Managing the Fear of Benzo Withdrawal In my opinion, fear, and the stress and anxiety related to that fear, cause more distress and more complications during withdrawal than anything else. And this fear is not some natural psychological fear. It's chemically enhanced. On top of the original anxieties we had before our dependence on benzos, we now have a damaged nervous system that can't process fear correctly. A system that can send us into a panic state — both psychologically and physiologically — at the least sign of distress. Above all, stop worrying. Worry, fear and anxiety increase all withdrawal symptoms. Many of these symptoms are actually due to anxiety and not signs of brain or nervous system damage. People who fear withdrawal have more intense symptoms than those who just take it as it comes and think positively and confidently about recovery.— Prof. Ashton, The Ashton Manual This series is broken down into three separate parts: PART 1 (https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-1-bfp003 )— Series Introduction— 1) Taking Responsibility for Your Own Recovery PART 2 (https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/managing-the-fear-of-benzo-withdrawal-part-2-bfp004)— 2) Keeping Positive— 3) Maintaining Mental and Physical Activity PART 3 (This Video)— 4) Having Kindness for Yourself and Others— 5) Finding Acceptance of Your Condition  Episode Description Today we discuss two essential elements to maintaining a stable mindset during withdrawal: kindness and acceptance. 4) KINDNESS It may sound like a trivial suggestion, but kindness is critical to success during benzo withdrawal. Kindness to yourself. Kindness to those around you. Kindness to everyone. Anger, resentment, fear, frustration, these all are common emotions during withdrawal and expressing them can feel good — in the short-term. But the truth is, they don't help you heal. Having kindness for yourself, and for those around you trying to help you, is key to success during this difficult time. 5) ACCEPTANCE One of the best things that happened to me during withdrawal was when I found acceptance. I stopped struggling and fighting my symptoms and instead accepted my current condition. It sounds easy, but it's a difficult transition and it usually only comes with time. Most people experiencing benzo withdrawal see their recovery as a struggle. A fight. A battle of epic proportions. And it can be. They want to do everything they can to make it disappear. And if they can't make it go away, then make it as easy as possible. But the symptoms of benzo withdrawal are actually symptoms of healing. The drugs are gone, or at least reduced. All that's left is your body trying to right itself. The best thing you can do during this time is to learn to accept your condition and let your body heal.  Resources The following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.
