This episode examines how low-load Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training can enhance outcomes during Phase 2 of ACL reconstruction rehabilitation. Building on Part 1—which covered pre-operative and acute post-operative strategies—this instalment focuses on integrating BFR into early strengthening when high mechanical loads are still contraindicated.   Key findings from several clinical trials demonstrate that BFR can:   • Improve early quadriceps strength recovery compared with traditional low-load rehabilitation. • Produce hypertrophy comparable to heavy-load training but with much lower joint stress. • Reduce pain, swelling, and functional deficits during the early post-operative period. • Assist with restoring long-term limb symmetry, even months after surgery, through modalities such as BFR walking.   Together, these studies highlight BFR as a valuable adjunct in ACL rehabilitation, particularly when protecting the graft and surrounding joint structures while still driving meaningful physiological adaptation.  

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.     What You'll Learn 00:00:00 – Welcome to Super Life: Solutions for a Healthier Life and Better World 00:00:32 – Sponsor Spotlight: TheraSauna - Natural Healing Technologies (15% off with code Darrandai) 00:02:10 – The Super Life Podcast: Finding Contentment, Happiness, and Purpose 00:02:51 – Today's Topic: Stress - Reframing Stress as an Ally and Dashboard Light 00:04:54 – The "No Choice" Universe: Reconnecting to Infinite Possibilities 00:05:16 – The Reality of Stress: Statistics and the Impact of Chronic Stress 00:06:21 – Stress is Layered: Beyond a Single Cause, Addressing Chronic Stress 00:08:29 – Solutions for a Super Life: Safety over Calm and the Vagal Response 00:09:38 – The Inner Dialogue Layer: Trauma, Unconsciousness, and Spiritual Bypassing 00:11:47 – The Social Field Layer: Relationships, Community, and Finding Your Way Home 00:14:20 – Sponsor Spotlight: Bite Toothpaste - Sustainable, Non-Toxic Tabs (20% off with code Darin20) 00:16:35 – Creating Your Own Vision: Setting Boundaries with Media and Social Algorithms 00:17:29 – Finding Your Purpose: From Raising Children to Healing Injuries 00:18:35 – Environmental and Existential Stress Layers: Clutter, Noise, and Service 00:19:26 – Stress Load and Resiliency: Why Small Triggers Cause Blow-Ups 00:20:02 – Understanding the Dashboard Light: Acknowledging Unwillingness 00:20:35 – Safety as the Signal: Body Relaxation and Providing Inner Security 00:23:44 – Reframing Trauma: Was it the Protector You Needed at the Time? 00:25:00 – Releasing Trauma: Techniques, The Healing Code, and Waking the Tiger 00:26:06 – Finishing the Survival Response: Shaking, Crying, Screaming, and Stretching 00:26:38 – Stress as a Multiplier: Impact on Immune System, Heart, and Aging 00:28:10 – Stress Slows Repair: Inflammation, Cardiovascular Risk, and Cellular Aging 00:29:48 – The Integrative Approach: Changing Your Environments to Support Anti-Stress 00:30:07 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Circadian Rhythm, Nature, and Noise Reduction 00:30:44 – Actionable Stress Solutions: Gratitude, Conscious Breath, and Movement 00:31:32 – Energy Drains to Eliminate: Conflict, Clutter, Scrolling, and Late Caffeine 00:32:17 – Connecting to Greater Purpose: The Super Life Patreon Platform 00:32:54 – Morning/Night Questions: Letting Go, Creating, and Contributing 00:33:17 – Final Toolkit: Slow Breathing, Movement, Nature, Sauna, and Sleep 00:34:25 – The Invitation: Digging into all Layers of a Super Life on Patreon   Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

A new prospective multicenter cohort of 250 patients with shock examines the safety and outcomes of peripheral vasopressor administration. Extravasation events were rare and clustered only after several days of infusion, while norepinephrine use and simple physiologic markers correlated with survival. In this episode, I translate the findings into bedside guardrails—which sites and gauges to use, how to monitor, and when to pivot to a central line.The Vasopressor & Inotrope HandbookAmazon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/47qJZe1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Affiliate Link)My Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://eddyjoemd.myshopify.com/products/the-vasopressor-inotrope-handbook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use "podcast" to save 10%)Citation:Petros A, Melkie A, Kotiso KS, Kebede D, Oljira CF, Assefa Gemechu F, Yusuf H, Abebe S, Ashagre A, Bekele A, Yohannes A, Etesa EK, Bedru M, Gebremariam TH.

Être petit n'a pas toujours été perçu comme un avantage. Dans une société où la taille est souvent associée à la force, au charisme ou au succès, les personnes de petite stature ont parfois le sentiment d'être désavantagées. Et pourtant, la science apporte une revanche inattendue : les petits vivraient plus longtemps.Cette découverte provient notamment d'une vaste étude menée à l'Université d'Hawaï, publiée dans la revue PLoS One. Les chercheurs ont suivi plus de 8 000 hommes d'origine japonaise pendant plusieurs décennies. Le résultat est sans appel : ceux qui mesuraient moins de 1,73 m vivaient en moyenne cinq ans de plus que ceux dépassant 1,83 m. Une différence significative, qui s'expliquerait en partie par un gène fascinant : FOXO3.Ce gène, surnommé « le gène de la longévité », joue un rôle clé dans la régulation du métabolisme, la réparation cellulaire et la résistance au stress oxydatif — trois mécanismes essentiels au ralentissement du vieillissement. Or, certaines variantes de ce gène sont plus fréquemment observées chez les personnes de petite taille. En d'autres termes, la nature semble avoir trouvé un équilibre : un corps plus petit, mais mieux armé pour durer.Sur le plan biologique, cela s'explique assez bien. Un organisme plus petit consomme moins d'énergie et produit moins de radicaux libres, ces molécules instables responsables du vieillissement cellulaire. Le cœur, quant à lui, a moins d'efforts à fournir pour irriguer le corps : chaque battement couvre un territoire plus restreint. Moins de stress pour les organes, donc une usure plus lente. Les chercheurs ont aussi observé que les personnes plus petites avaient souvent une meilleure sensibilité à l'insuline, un facteur clé dans la prévention du diabète et des maladies cardiovasculaires.Chez les femmes, les données sont encore incomplètes, mais les premières tendances semblent aller dans le même sens. Certaines études européennes laissent penser que le gène FOXO3, présent aussi bien chez l'homme que chez la femme, pourrait offrir un avantage similaire.Ainsi, si la petite taille peut parfois être perçue comme un handicap social, elle s'avère, biologiquement, un atout pour la longévité. Moins de centimètres, mais plus d'années : voilà une équation qui redonne du sens à l'expression « tout ce qui est petit est précieux ». Hébergé par Acast.

In der zweiten Folge der fünften Staffel dreht sich alles um Moral. Genauer gesagt um die Frage, ob Sprache einen Einfluss darauf hat, wie wir uns bei moralisch schwierigen Dilemmata entscheiden. Eine Eigenschaft solcher Dilemmata ist schließlich, dass sie gut durchdacht und ausgewogen überlegt werden müssen, bevor wir zu einer Entscheidung kommen – da sollte die Sprache, in der wir ein solches Dilemma durchdenken, doch keinen Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidung haben … oder etwa doch?In dieser Folge tauchen wir in den „Moral Foreign Language Effect“ ein und schauen uns an, wie stark Sprache unsere moralischen Entscheidungen beeinflussen kann. Und Spoiler: Diesen Effekt gibt es wirklich!

Do you routinely order prophylactic antibiotics at time ofsecond-degree laceration repair? Is there data for that? While the use of prophylacticantibiotics “is reasonable” (per ACOG PB 198) for OASIS lacerations, what doesthe data look like for second degree lacs? Well, the answer is both supportiveAND non-supportive of that practice! In this episode, we will cover a brand newpublication (RCT) from BMJ on this very issue, and also highlight a meta-analysisfrom Plos One (May 2025) that also examined this question.

A simple question turned into a deep dive, and I learned a ton along the way! A client has an implanted vagus nerve stimulator. Now what? In this episode of I Have a Client Who . . ., Ruth explore's how vagus nerve stimulators work, why they're used, and the precautions massage therapists should consider. Plus, we discuss the exciting possibilities these devices hold for a wide range of treatments. Resources: Ben-Menachem, E.

Le syndrome de la pédanterie grammaticale est un trouble du comportement linguistique, à la frontière entre la psychologie et la sociolinguistique. Il ne s'agit pas d'une pathologie reconnue dans les manuels médicaux comme le DSM-5, mais d'un phénomène comportemental observé chez certaines personnes ayant un besoin compulsif de corriger les fautes de langage ou d'orthographe des autres — souvent de manière inappropriée ou insistante.Une obsession linguistiqueLes personnes atteintes de ce syndrome éprouvent une irritation disproportionnée face aux erreurs grammaticales ou syntaxiques. Qu'il s'agisse d'une faute d'accord, d'un accent oublié ou d'un anglicisme, elles ressentent le besoin irrépressible de corriger. Cette réaction peut survenir aussi bien dans une conversation écrite que parlée, et dépasse souvent le simple réflexe de précision linguistique : elle devient un mécanisme de contrôle et d'anxiété.Une forme de rigidité cognitiveSur le plan psychologique, la pédanterie grammaticale s'apparente à une forme de perfectionnisme rigide. Certaines études ont suggéré que les personnes qui en souffrent présentent parfois des traits obsessionnels-compulsifs légers : besoin d'ordre, de structure, et faible tolérance à l'ambiguïté. Corriger les fautes leur procure un sentiment de maîtrise et de soulagement temporaire, comparable à celui ressenti par une personne maniaque après avoir rangé un objet déplacé.L'origine du termeLe terme “Grammar Pedantry Syndrome” est popularisé par un article humoristique du BBC Magazine en 2013, avant d'être repris dans divers blogs de linguistes. Le phénomène a toutefois une base cognitive réelle : une étude de l'Université du Michigan publiée dans PLOS ONE (2016) a montré que les personnes les plus sensibles aux fautes grammaticales dans les e-mails étaient souvent moins ouvertes et plus consciencieuses, selon les cinq grands traits de personnalité (Big Five).Une question de tolérance linguistiqueLe syndrome pose aussi un enjeu social : la correction permanente peut être perçue comme une forme de snobisme intellectuel ou d'agressivité passive. Les linguistes rappellent qu'une langue est vivante et que ses “fautes” sont souvent le moteur de son évolution. En d'autres termes, corriger n'est pas toujours enseigner : cela peut aussi briser la communication.En somme, la pédanterie grammaticale n'est pas une maladie, mais une manière anxieuse et rigide de gérer le désordre linguistique. Elle interroge notre rapport à la norme, à la culture, et à l'identité : vouloir préserver la langue, oui ; mais au risque d'oublier qu'elle appartient d'abord à ceux qui la parlent.

Dr Sharonne Hayes, Professor of cardiovascular medicine and founding director of Mayo Clinic women's heart clinic, and Dr. Marysia Tweet, Associate Professor of cardiovascular medicine, and co-leader of the Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Registry and leader in women's heart health join the show for this amazing November chapter of Always on EM. They are world experts on Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection authoring over 60 peer reviewed articles on the topic and in this chapter we explore with them the pitfalls and pearls related to making this diagnosis in the ED. SCAD is an important cause of myocardial infarction especially in patients who would not otherwise seem to be at risk for heart attacks for example active young women without comorbidities, and its imperitive that we as emergency physicians are current on this diagnosis.   DONATE TO DR JIM GREGOIRE SCHOLARSHIP FUND To honor the life of Dr. Jim Gregoire, dear friend of this show, consider donating to his scholarship fund.

Let's face it there are certain sounds that are just annoying to be exposed to, or sometimes even to think of! Someone chewing loudly with their mouth open, slurping soup, or making noise while eating pasta are a few examples.  But for some people, the impact of these sounds goes beyond being simply annoying; they bring on strong negative reactions. Those people have a neuropsychiatric condition called misophonia, which affects close to 1 in 5 people in the UK, according to a study by researchers at Kings College University which was published in Plos One journal in March 2023. How exactly did we find out about misophonia? What causes it then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Sie ist eine fundamentale Kraft des Körpers, über die wir viel zu selten nachdenken. Dabei kann unsere Atmung unser Leben verändern. Buchstäblich unser ganzes Leben hängt davon ab. Wir atmen rund 20.000 mal am Tag ein und aus - meistens, ohne viel darüber nachzudenken. Es scheint offensichtlich zu sein, warum wir überhaupt atmen - ohne würden unsere Körper versagen und wir würden einfach tot umfallen. Aber was macht die Atmung mit unserem Gehirn? Inwiefern profitiert auch unsere psychische Gesundheit von der Atmung? Host Beke Schulmann und Autorin Sarah Emminghaus gehen diesen Fragen auf den Grund.

TikTok and other social media sites are full of mental health content—often short, grabby, first-person videos detailing symptoms for conditions like ADHD and autism. But what does this mean for teens and young adults who spend hours a day scrolling?A new study published in PLOS One analyzes the 100 most viewed TikTok videos about ADHD to assess both how accurate they are and how young people respond to them. Researchers found that about half of the videos were inaccurate or missing key context, and that the more TikToks young adults watched, the less critical they were of the content.For some, watching social videos about mental health conditions led them to better understand themselves and eventually get a proper diagnosis and treatment. For others it made them consider if they have conditions they don't meet the diagnostic criteria for.Host Flora Lichtman talks with the lead author of the ADHD TikTok study, Vasileia Karasavva, a PhD Student in clinical psychology at the University of British Columbia; and Dr. Jennifer Katzenstein, director of psychology, neuropsychology, and social work at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.Guests: Vasileia Karasavva is a PhD Student in Clinical Psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.Dr. Jennifer Katzenstein is Director of Psychology, Neuropsychology and Social work and Co-director of the Center for Behavioral Health at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. Transcripts for each episode are available at sciencefriday.com.

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

For decades, researchers have documented a curious pattern in happiness, where people tend to start adult life feeling relatively positive, dip into unhappiness during middle age, and then rebound later in life. Psychologists called it the 'unhappiness hump' and the rest of us called it a mid-life crisis, referring to a midlife peak in stress, worry, and dissatisfaction that eventually faded as people aged. But new research suggests that this once-universal feature of human psychology (and men buying sports cars) has all but disappeared. And the reason isn't that middle-aged people have found new ways to thrive, sadly - it's that younger generations are suffering more than ever before. A new study published in PLOS ONE has found that the classic U-shaped curve of happiness and its mirror-image hump of unhappiness has flattened. The researchers analysed decades of mental health data, including 10 million adults in the United States from 1993-2024, 40,000 households in the United Kingdom, as well as 2 million people from 44 other countries, uncovering a dramatic shift in global well-being trends. Their analysis revealed that the familiar midlife rise in unhappiness, once a psychological constant, has vanished. Instead, mental ill-being now tends to decline with age, meaning that young people today report the worst mental health, and things generally improve as people get older. Older adults' mental health has stayed roughly the same, and middle-aged adults show little change. What's new is the sharp drop in well-being among younger generations. The causes of this reversal are complex and still being explored, but the study highlights several interlocking factors. The Great Recession's ripple effects: Economic instability and uncertain job prospects may have left “scarring effects” on younger cohorts entering the workforce after 2008. Underfunded mental health services: In both the U.S. and U.K., access to timely mental health care has lagged behind need, allowing problems to worsen over time. The COVID-19 pandemic: While the downward trend in youth well-being began before 2020, the pandemic accelerated feelings of isolation, anxiety, and hopelessness particularly among younger people. The rise of smartphones and social media: The study notes growing evidence linking heavy social media use with poorer mental health, driven by constant comparison, fear of missing out, and distorted self-perception. Some researchers have even suggested limiting smartphone access for teens as a possible intervention, though debate continues. Housing and financial pressures: Younger generations face tougher labour markets, skyrocketing housing costs, and rising living expenses all of which may erode a sense of security and optimism about the future.

In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, I speak with Dr. Michelle Cherro, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow at Mass General in Boston and lead author of the 2025 PLOS One study, “Predictors of suicide attempts among adolescents with suicidal ideations and a plan.” Dr. Cherro discusses the motivations behind her team's work with co-authors Dr. Hala Itani, Dr. Elie Ghossoub, and Dr. Fadi Maalouf at the American University of Beirut, exploring what drives some adolescents from suicidal thoughts and planning to an actual suicide attempt.   We unpack the study's key findings, that female adolescents, antisocial behaviors, and substance use strongly predict attempts, and discuss how these insights can inform prevention efforts in Lebanon where the rates are not higher than elsewhere despite the unstable economic and political situation.   Tune in for a compelling conversation bridging U.S.-based data with Lebanese mental-health realities, and for practical reflections on what clinicians, schools, and families can do to protect at-risk youth.  

Welcome to PsychEd, the psychiatry podcast for medical learners, by medical learners. This episode covers goals of care conversations.Our guest for this episode is Dr. Tavis Apramian, a clinician-investigator in the Department of Family & Community Medicine (DFCM) at the University of Toronto and scientist in the Office of Education Scholarship. He works as a palliative care physician at St. Michael's Hospital and at Kensington Hospice. His largely qualitative program of research is focused on advance care planning; workplace-based learning and assessment; palliative care in family medicine; medical assistance in dying; and inequity in end-of-life care. His primary focus is on telling rich stories of learner and patient experiences to spark conversation about socioculturally complex educational and clinical problems in serious illness.The learning objectives for this episode are as follows:Describe a palliative approach to care and its relevance across different contextsDemonstrate a structured and compassionate approach to goals of care conversationsApply effective communication strategies to build therapeutic alliance, navigate difficult conversations, and involve multiple actors in the palliative contextRecognize and manage challenges in goals of care conversationsGuest: Dr. Tavis ApramianHosts: Dr. Daamoon Ghahari (PGY2) and Dr. Angad Singh (PGY2)Audio editing: Dr. Angad Singh (PGY2)Timestamps:(1:07) - Journey to palliative care(5:07) - What is palliative care(14:47) - Understanding patient values(33:47) - Structuring goals of care conversations(44:16) - Communication strategies(57:05) - Navigating family meetings(77:25) - Reflections on MAiD for sole mental illnessResources:Roth, H.

Mit den kürzeren Tagen sinkt bei vielen Menschen nicht nur die Energie, sondern auch ihr Vitamin-D-Spiegel. Rutscht er zu sehr ab, hat das Folgen für Leistungsfähigkeit, Immunsystem und Stimmung.Eine neue Studie deutet darauf hin, dass Indoor-Training den im Winter üblichen Vitamin-D-Abfall messbar ausbremst. Kann Deine Fitness-Routine also das Vitamin-D-Supplement ersetzen? Am Ende der Folge bist Du auf Stand und weißt, was das für Dich und Deinen Vitamin-D-Haushalt bedeutet.Außerdem bekommst Du eine klare Strategie an die Hand, um die dunklen Monate von Oktober bis März energiegeladen (und mit vollen Vitamin-D-Speichern) zu überbrücken – statt im Wintermodus auf Reserve zu laufen.____________*WERBUNG: Infos zum Werbepartner dieser Folge und allen weiteren Werbepartnern findest Du hier.____________Tools (Marks Empfehlungen):Vitamin-D-Selbsttest von Medivere.Vitamin-D-Präparat mit 2.000 IE von FormMed (vegane Variante).Weiterführende Inhalte:Download: Ratgeber NahrungsergänzungFolge 502: "Brauchen Sportler Nahrungsergänzung, Herr Ernährungsmediziner?"

On pourrait croire que le malheur frappe surtout les adolescents en crise ou les personnes âgées confrontées à la solitude. Pourtant, la science a une réponse surprenante. Une vaste étude publiée dans la revue PLOS One s'est penchée sur cette question en compilant des données colossales : plus de 10 millions d'Américains, 40 000 ménages britanniques et près de 2 millions de personnes issues de 44 pays différents. Un échantillon gigantesque, qui permet d'identifier une tendance universelle.Le résultat ? Le sentiment de mal-être n'atteint pas son sommet à l'adolescence, ni à la fin de la vie… mais vers l'âge de 47 ans.Les chercheurs parlent d'une véritable « courbe en U » du bonheur. Concrètement, la satisfaction de vie est relativement élevée chez les jeunes adultes, elle décline progressivement à mesure que l'on approche de la quarantaine, atteint un point bas autour de 47 ans, puis remonte dans la seconde partie de la vie. Autrement dit, beaucoup de personnes rapportent être plus heureuses à 60 ans qu'à 40.Pourquoi ce creux à la quarantaine ? Plusieurs explications sont avancées. C'est souvent l'âge des responsabilités maximales : charges familiales, pression professionnelle, dettes, fatigue accumulée. C'est aussi le moment où l'on mesure l'écart entre ses rêves de jeunesse et la réalité. Les chercheurs évoquent une sorte de « crise du milieu de vie », pas toujours visible mais largement ressentie.Après ce cap, les choses s'améliorent. Avec l'âge, les attentes deviennent plus réalistes, les pressions diminuent souvent, et beaucoup de personnes développent une meilleure gestion émotionnelle. C'est ce qui expliquerait la remontée du bien-être observée statistiquement après 50 ans.Il est intéressant de noter que cette courbe en U se retrouve dans presque toutes les cultures étudiées : qu'on vive aux États-Unis, en Europe, en Asie ou en Amérique latine, la tendance est la même. Cela suggère un mécanisme profondément ancré dans la trajectoire humaine, au-delà des différences sociales ou culturelles.Évidemment, il s'agit d'une moyenne : certaines personnes traversent leur quarantaine très heureuses, d'autres peuvent souffrir à d'autres âges. Mais sur le plan statistique, le pic de malheur se situe bien autour de la cinquantaine.Conclusion : si vous avez entre 45 et 50 ans et que vous vous sentez un peu moins heureux, sachez que vous n'êtes pas seul… et que la science promet des jours meilleurs : le bonheur remonte après ce cap.

Le sexe nous fait transpirer, parfois même suer à grosses gouttes, mais cela ne veut pas forcément dire que ça suffit à éliminer le burger et la glace supplément chantilly du restau. Déjà en fonction de votre genre, la dépense énergétique pendant l'amour n'est pas la même.  D'après une étude publiée par la revue Plos One, les hommes brûlent en moyenne 101 calories et les femmes 69 calories au cours d'un rapport sexuel de 25 minutes. Un homme et une femme ne brûlent pas autant ? Les calories brûlées dépendent du type de rapport sexuel ? Mais pourquoi on transpire autant alors si ce n'est pas un effort intense ?  Un podcast Bababam Originals, écrit et réalisé par Laura Taouchanov. À écouter aussi : Qui sont ces stars accros au sexe ?

Stress isn't just something to “manage” — it's a signal, a teacher, and often, an invitation to look deeper at our health, our choices, and our lives. In this solo episode, Darin reframes stress not as an enemy, but as a dashboard light pointing toward misalignments in our nervous system, environment, relationships, and purpose. Drawing on science, practical tools, and personal insight, Darin reveals how layered stress silently drains our vitality — and how to transform it into an ally for growth, healing, and deeper contentment. Whether it's hidden trauma, toxic environments, unresolved conflict, or the modern distractions constantly pulling at our attention, Darin lays out a roadmap to stop the leaks and reclaim the energy already within you. This episode is a powerful reminder: stress isn't the end of the story — it's the beginning of awareness, safety, and a super life.     What You'll Learn in This Episode [00:00] Introduction to the Super Life podcast [03:27] Why stress might not be your enemy [04:17] Stress as an ally: the signals it gives us about misalignment [04:32] The dashboard light metaphor: how stress reveals hidden issues [05:28] The illusion of “no choice” and the infinite possibilities always available [06:12] Global stress statistics and why most people underestimate their stress load [07:23] Hidden stress revealed through heart rate variability and physiology [08:23] Layered stress: how sleep, exercise, and poor choices compound each other [09:25] Safety vs. calm — why your nervous system craves safety first [10:15] Trauma and the unconscious mind: how old wounds drive our stress response [11:54] Inner narratives and negative self-talk as hidden stress multipliers [12:22] The role of community and your social field in stress and resilience [13:53] Relationships, honesty, and how your circle shapes your energy [14:55] Why boundaries around media and politics are vital for mental clarity [17:42] Finding micro-purpose when life feels overwhelming [18:52] Environmental layers of stress — light, air, and clutter [19:15] The existential layer: stress from living without service or purpose [20:12] Stress as a risk amplifier — how it undermines healing and health [20:55] The deeper truth of safety, connection, and higher power [23:00] Practical tools: breathing, grounding, nature, and conscious choices [24:01] Trauma reframed: not a problem, but a protector at the time [25:25] Lessons from Peter Levine and wild animals: releasing trauma physically [26:04] Questions to ask trauma: “What are you protecting me from?” [26:56] Stress as a multiplier of aging, disease, and poor outcomes [29:20] Why stress isn't a single cause — it's layered and chronic [30:18] Anti-stress strategies: circadian rhythm, nature, and gratitude [31:49] Energy leaks to avoid: clutter, poor food, scrolling, bad boundaries [32:22] What matters most: service, contribution, and alignment [33:28] Final toolkit: breathwork, movement, nature, sleep, and gratitude [34:38] The deeper invitation: step into sovereignty and live your SuperLife     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/  or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your order.

In this BTP Short, Dr. Dewey Caron shares another of his “audio postcards,” this time exploring the critical role of fat bees—also known as diutinus bees—in helping colonies survive winter. Dewey explains how these long-lived worker bees differ from their summer sisters, with enlarged fat bodies, higher protein reserves, and lower juvenile hormone levels, all tied to the key blood protein vitellogenin. Drawing on published research papers, Dewey highlights how environmental cues such as declining pollen, temperature, and daylight trigger the production of winter bees, and how clustering helps colonies thermoregulate through the cold months. He emphasizes that strong, heavy colonies going into winter are far more likely to survive than weak or light ones. For beekeepers, Dewey stresses the importance of continuous Varroa control throughout the season, fall feeding to ensure sufficient carbohydrate and protein stores, and combining weaker units when necessary. He also discusses drone eviction, stock influences, and climate change modeling that suggests warmer falls may disrupt the balance of winter bee production and survival. This episode provides science-based insights and practical recommendations to help beekeepers communicate with their colonies—ensuring not only fat bees, but fat, well-prepared colonies for overwintering success.

Welcome to Episode 272 of Autism Parenting Secrets.This week, we're talking about a medicine almost every parent has used. For decades, doctors have recommended it for fevers, ear infections, even after vaccines. It's long been considered safe.But compelling evidence shows it's not nearly as safe as we've been told—especially for babies and young children under stress.My guest is Dr. William Parker. He is distinguished, highly credentialed, and deeply passionate about protecting children. After earning his PhD in Chemistry, he spent nearly 30 years at Duke University studying biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology. He's best known for discovering the function of the human appendix—a safe-house for bacteria—and for the last decade, he's focused on how acetaminophen, when combined with oxidative stress, impacts brain development. He's published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, and his work points to this drug playing a major role in the rise of autism.This is a conversation parents need to hear. Dr. Parker is substantive, credible, and unwavering in his pursuit of the truth. It's not about fear—it's about clarity and better choices.The secret this week is…AVOID THIS Popular Drug To Protect DevelopmentYou'll Discover:The Hidden Link First Exposed in 2008 (4:51)How Acetaminophen + Oxidative Stress = Trouble For Susceptible Kids (15:29)The Timeline That Matches The Rise of Autism (23:26)The Flawed Assumptions in Many Scientific Studies (26:50)Practical Next Steps Parents Can Take (45:53)The Actual MECHANISM That Harms Brain Cells (51:07)About Our Guest:William Parker earned a PhD in Chemistry in 1992 and studied biochemistry, microbiology, and immunology at Duke University for almost 30 years before starting WPLab, a private, non-profit research and education corporation, in 2021. Best known for the discovery of the function of the human appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), Dr. Parker has spent almost a decade studying the impact of acetaminophen combined with oxidative stress on neurodevelopment. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, including work in PLoS One, the European Journal of Pediatrics, Minerva Pediatrics, and Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics. WPLab scientists have concluded that many, if not most, cases of autism are a chemically induced injury caused by exposure of susceptible babies and children to acetaminophen.References In This Episode:Learn more about Dr. Parker's work: PreventAutism.org and www.wplaboratory.orgAdditional Resources:To learn more about personalized 1:1 support, go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.comTake The Quiz: What's YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?If you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

Episode 202: BPA OverviewWritten by Cameron Carlisle, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice._____________________Arr: Welcome to another episode of Rio Bravo qWeek. My name is Hector Arreaza, I'm an associate program director and faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today my co-host is Cameron Carlisle, who is a 4th-year medical student finishing his last rotation of med school. Welcome, Cameron, please introduce yourself.Arreaza: What are we talking about today, Cameron?Cam: Dr. Arreaza, did you know you're probably carrying around a chemical in your body that mimics estrogen? In fact, a 2004 CDC study found over 92% of Americans had detectable levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in their urine. Today's topic is BPA.BPA is everywhere: receipts, water bottles, canned foods, baby bottles, and even our dental fillings. It's one of the most ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interferes with the body's hormone systems. That's why today's episode is about making the invisible visible. Our goals for today's podcast:Break down what BPA isShow how it affects the human bodyExplain how you and your patients can limit exposureEmpower both clinicians and the public with real, practical informationArreaza: Thanks for clarifying BPA today. It seems like we always have to learn about a new carcinogen or toxic substance that we are exposed to. I remember when I was a child, Yellow #5 became very concerning for the general public but it is still being used in our foods. So, it's good you are talking about this. What Is BPA?Cam: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used since the 1950s, primarily in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It makes plastic clear, and is often found in:Water bottlesCanned food liningsBaby bottles (pre-2012)Takeout containersCash register receiptsDental sealantsArreaza: So, I've seen the “BPA-free” labels many times, and today I'm glad you are going to shed some light about it.Cam: What's alarming is that BPA leaches out of these products, especially when exposed to heat, acidity, or repeated use. A Harvard study found that people who drank from plastic bottles for just one week had a 69% increase in urinary BPA levels (Carwile & Michels, 2009).Arreaza: That's a lot of people 69%. Section 3: What happens when BPA gets into our body? How BPA Works in the BodyCam: BPA is classified as an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can bind to estrogen receptors and mimic or block natural hormone functions.It affects:Reproductive systems (both male and female)NeurodevelopmentThyroid signalingPancreatic β-cell functionMetabolism and fat storageEven low-dose exposure can disrupt cellular function. BPA acts as a xenoestrogen (foreign estrogen) and has been shown to alter DNA methylation, leading to epigenetic changes that persist across generations (Manikkam et al., 2013).Arreaza: So, BPA can cause epigenetic changes that can be inherited. BPA can persist for generations in your offspring.BPA's Health Impacts – What the Research SaysHere's where it gets serious. Let's go system-by-system:1. Reproductive HealthFemales: Linked to PCOS, infertility, and early puberty (Peretz et al., 2014).Males: Reduced sperm count and motility; altered testosterone levels.2. Pregnancy and Birth OutcomesIncreased risk of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight (Snijder et al., 2013).Studies show BPA crosses the placenta, directly affecting the fetus.3. Neurological DevelopmentAssociated with ADHD, anxiety, and impaired executive function in children exposed in utero (Mustieles et al., 2015).4. Metabolism and DiabetesBPA exposure is linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, even at low doses (Lang et al., 2008).5. CancerAnimal and human data link BPA to increased risk of breast and prostate cancer via estrogenic mechanisms.6. MortalityA 2020 JAMA study found individuals with higher BPA levels had a 49% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with lower levels (Gao et al., 2020).Arreaza: You are scaring me. I wonder what my BPA level is in my blood. Actually, BPA can be detected in urine. This is the most common approach for population-level biomonitoring, because BPA and its metabolites are mostly excreted in urine. Studies have found that BPA is present in most people, even up to 85–99% in large cohorts. Cam: That's literally everyone. Sources of BPA ExposureLet's talk about things we use every day:Thermal receipts (like from Target or Starbucks): BPA can transfer onto your skin and be absorbed, especially if your hands are wet or lotioned.Canned soups: One study showed that eating canned soup daily for five days led to a 1000% increased urinary BPA levels (Carwile et al., 2011).Plastic water bottles left in the car on hot days or plastic food trays for microwaving = chemical leaching.Baby bottles and pacifiers (pre-2012): primary concern for newborns.Arreaza: So, Cameron, you were exposed to BPA as a baby.Cam: Here's the jaw-dropper: We ingest up to 5 grams of plastic per week, roughly the weight of a credit card (WWF, 2019; University of Newcastle). This includes microplastics like BPA, which enter through food, water, and air.Arreaza: So, it translates into 40 lbs of plastic in a lifetime, by age 70. What can we do as family physicians?Family Medicine and Preventive CareAs family physicians, we are at the frontlines of prevention. Our role includes:Anticipatory guidance: during prenatal visits, well-child visits, and chronic disease managementScreening opportunities: ask about storage habits, microwave use, and receipt handlingEnvironmental health counseling: AAFP recommends addressing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) when relevant to a patient's concerns.It's not just about treating diabetes or obesity. It's about recognizing that environmental exposure may be a root cause.Arreaza: Prevention is my favorite topic!Cam: One helpful clinical practice:Arreaza: What else can we do to reduce BPA exposure?Practical Steps to Reduce BPAHere's what patients and doctors alike can do today:Switch to BPA-free products, but be careful, as replacements like BPS or BPF may also be harmful (Rochester & Bolden, 2015).Avoid microwaving or dishwashing plastic containers.Use digital receipts.Filter tap water using carbon filters, which can reduce microparticle ingestion.Choose fresh produce over canned goods when possible.Also, wash your hands after handling receipts, especially before eating or touching your face.Arreaza: What is our government doing to protect us?Public Health and Policy UpdatesRegulations are slowly catching up:The FDA banned BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups in 2012.The European Union has stricter limits, and France banned BPA in all food packaging in 2015.California's Proposition 65 requires BPA warning labels.Arreaza: Proposition 65, passed by direct voter initiative in 1986, “WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”Arreaza: The FDA is planning to phase out petroleum-based food dyes (certified color additives) from the American food supply – marking a significant milestone in the efforts to protect the public. Cam: Many products still contain BPA analogs (BPS, BPF), which are not yet well-regulated.This is where clinician advocacy matters, where we can guide public opinion and support legislative change.Arreaza: So, millions of pounds of toxic substances are produced by many industries in the US. As physicians, we have to stay informed and update our patients.Cameron: How can we wrap up this episode?Conclusion and TakeawaysBPA is a hormone disruptor hiding in plain sight.People are exposed to BPA every day, but small lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce it.Family medicine has a role in education, prevention, and advocacy.Let's all be part of the solution for our health and future generations. Stanley (tumblers) are not sponsoring this episode, and we did not receive any money from them. Arreaza: That's it for today's episode of Rio Bravo qWeek. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a colleague or medical student who may need to know about BPA. I'm Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Cameron: Hopefully, in the future I will talk to you about more endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Can a student's body size affect their grades? Research says yes. In this episode of The Scenic Route, Jen explores how fat bias and socioeconomic bias shape grades, opportunities, and self-worth.You'll hear:A personal story of how weight stigma shows up in healthcare.A German study of 14,000 students showed that overweight and lower-income kids receive lower grades than equally capable peers.Why grades often reflect compliance, neatness, and bias more than actual learning.How to judge whether a study is credible using reliability, objectivity, and validity and why validity is the trickiest.Practical steps for parents, teachers, and students to challenge fatbias in schools and beyond.Grades don't just decide report cards. They decide futures. When body size and class bias affect grades, kids are taught that some people matter less.This episode is a call to question those systems and to push for a world where all kids can thrive.

What determines who you vote for?  You probably think it's due to rational reasons. Economy. Sustainability. Immigration. Growth.  But research shows that your choice of vote isn't as logical as you might expect.  In fact, all of our votes can be swayed by a largely irrelevant factor.  And this factor can be used to change what we eat, wear, drink and buy.  Hear how, on today's episode of Nudge with Phil Graves. ---  Phil's book: https://shorturl.at/kzAta Phil's consultancy: https://www.philipgraves.net/consultancy/ Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Today's sources: Cialdini, R.

Your eyes are not cameras—they are clocks. Every cell and organ in your body is orchestrated by the light you let in, making light the most powerful regulator of health. More than ever, I believe the “light diet” is a foundational lifestyle change in the fight against chronic disease. That's why today's guest is one of the most important I've had—a true pioneer in the science of light and health.Dr. Martin Moore-Ede is a world-renowned circadian biology expert with over four decades of research on how light affects sleep, fatigue, and chronic diseases. As a former Harvard Medical School professor, he helped discover the brain's master clock—the suprachiasmatic nucleus—and authored the bestselling The Clocks That Time Us. In 1983, he founded CIRCADIAN®, a global firm optimizing 24/7 workforce performance, and later launched CIRCADIAN Light and CIRCADIAN ZircLight to counter the health risks of artificial lighting.In this episode, we explore:How proper light exposure can increase lifespan by up to five years—and how being “dumb with light” is now correlated with everything from cancer and diabetes to autoimmune and psychiatric disorders.When to wake up, how much outdoor light we need daily, the massive difference in lux between indoor and outdoor light, and the critical role of the brain's internal clock.Why early sunlight matters, and how flawed studies distorted our understanding of sunlight and cataracts.The rise in breast cancer since widespread electrification—now 70x more common.How hospital window placement can influence recovery from depression and anxiety by up to 50%.Why Dr. Moore-Ede gets outside every day—rain, sun, or snow—without sunglasses or eyewear.Whether you're new to circadian science or already light-aware, this episode will shift how you think about health.Contact and Resources: Website – thelightdoctor.com Website – bluesafe24.com Website – circadianlight.orgReferenced Studies Mentioned:Gbyl K et al.

Stress isn't just “in your head”—it changes your biology. It depletes nutrients like magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc, and keeps your body in survival mode. Supplements can help, but they won't heal you if the root cause—stress—remains. In this episode, I talk about why stress management is as critical as nutrition, how CBT and EMDR support your healing, and why lab testing matters before wasting money on supplements.   References from this episode: Juster R-P, McEwen BS, Lupien SJ.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into intriguing new research that challenges our understanding of Earth's climatic history, the discovery of a rare astronomical phenomenon, and China's advancements in lunar exploration.Did a Comet Trigger the Younger Dryas Cool Off?A groundbreaking study has emerged suggesting that a massive comet may have instigated Earth's Younger Dryas cool off event, traditionally attributed to glacial meltwater. Analysis of ocean sediments published in the journal PLOS One reveals geochemical clues that support the hypothesis of Earth encountering a disintegrating comet around 12,800 years ago. This event could have led to rapid cooling, with temperatures plummeting by approximately 10 degrees Celsius within a year. The findings indicate a potential link between comet dust and significant climate shifts, inviting further investigation into this captivating theory.Discovery of a Rare White Dwarf Merger RemnantAstronomers have identified an ultra-massive white dwarf star resulting from the merger of two stars, rather than the evolution of a single star. This discovery, made possible by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, suggests that such white dwarf mergers may be more common than previously thought. The object, catalogued as WD0525 526, is located 126 light years away and is about 20% more massive than our Sun. Hubble's ultraviolet observations revealed carbon in its atmosphere, a sign of its violent origin, challenging previous assumptions about white dwarf formation.China Tests Its New Manned Lunar LanderIn a significant milestone for lunar exploration, China has successfully conducted a test flight of its new manned lunar landing craft, named Lanyu. This test, which included a controlled landing and takeoff, marks a crucial step in China's ambitions to send taikonauts to the Moon by 2030. The Lanyu is designed to carry astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface and back, with plans for a permanent lunar base in collaboration with Russia in the early 2030s.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPLOS Onehttps://journals.plos.org/plosone/Nature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/NASA Hubble Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

This week on The Marathon Running Podcast, we tackle the most misunderstood phase of marathon training: the taper. Host [Insert Host Name Here] compares this final stage to the difference between cramming and consolidating for a major exam, sharing a personal story about how his own failed taper taught him the hard way that less is truly more. For solo runners like Letty, mastering the taper is especially crucial, as it's the final step to ensure your body is primed for an independent race. We dive into the science of supercompensation, explaining how resting unlocks your full physiological potential by rebuilding muscle, replenishing glycogen, and boosting your immune system.Whether you're battling the "taper crazies" or feeling anxious about the reduced mileage, this episode is a deep dive into the practical blueprint and mental strategies you need to arrive at the starting line feeling strong, confident, and ready for your best race. Trust the process, because the taper isn't about losing fitness—it's about unlocking it for that final, glorious solo effort.Here are our research citations:

Nutrition science plays a pivotal role in shaping public health advice, but the influence of industry funding on research has become a pressing concern. In this episode we want to examine whether we can trust nutrition studies funded by food and beverage companies, and how you can discern study credibility.  The discussion is highly relevant in today's landscape, where conflicts of interest and bias in research are under scrutiny amidst debates on sugar, processed foods, and diet recommendations. By exploring how industry sponsorship might skew results or interpretations, this episode speaks to broader issues of scientific trustworthiness and evidence-based policy in nutrition and public health.  In this episode, we take a look at some recent publications that showed how study results and reporting differed significantly depending on if industry had funded the study or not. We delve into how this happens. As most often it is not a case of data fabrication or corruption, but rather how bias leads to studies being designed and reported differently. We walk through some examples, as well as highlighting some industry-funded studies that didn't provide a “pro-industry” result and conclusion. The hope is that the episode allows you to understand why this is a problem, how to spot it, and how to know if you can trust the results of an industry-funded study.

In this episode of Iron Culture, Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple discuss science related to attractiveness, coolness, and personality type. They explore scientific studies on the factors associated with perceived attractiveness and "coolness," discussing body fat percentages and societal perceptions. The conversation shifts to how personality traits appear to predict workout preferences and engagement in fitness, then they debate the importance of matching exercise to individual characteristics.
