Parkinson's UK have published the results of an unprecedented study that's provided a wealth of new detail into the condition in the UK today.   Eighteen million patient records were analysed uncovering the key issues facing the one hundred and sixty-six thousand people with the condition in this country and highlighting up to twenty-one thousand more with no treatment or support while they wait to be diagnosed.    With the help of Caroline Rassell, CEO of Parkinson's UK and Lance Lee, the charity's Analytics and Insights Lead,  we examine the methodology behind the collection of a data set of this magnitude, how the millions of pieces of information are harmonised to reach accurate results. We also hear how patient privacy is protected when medical records are used for research of this kind and  some of the implications of the information the survey has uncovered.    If you would like to read more about the research click on this link: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/research/research-blog/our-research/parkinsons-uk-what-do-we-know

Last week we had an important conversation with Dr. Michael Rafii all about the link between DS and Alzheimer's disease. If you're still processing everything you learned from that interview, that's okay. Sit down with the three of us + our good friend Kandi Pickard (CEO of the National DS Society) and we'll talk through it together!How do we confront medical discrimination?Where can we get involved in research?What does it mean that the NDSS has merged with LuMind? (hint: its a great thing for Alzheimer's research!)We know this isn't an easy topic but this episode is full of hope. Remember, there are medical experts (like Dr. Rafii) and organizations (like NDSS) doing all that they can to improve the future for your loved one with Down syndrome.--SHOW NOTESLearn more more about Alzheimer's disease from the National DS SocietyLearn more about LuMind merging with the NDSSFind resources on The Alzheimer Biomarkers Consortium-Down Syndrome (ABC-DS)Get involved in research with DS-ConnectSPONSORSign up for Enable SNP HERE.

As we continue this season on brain health, its time to dive deep into the link between Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome. It's not an easy topic.. and that's why we are so grateful to have Dr. Michael Rafii with us. He's a physician-scientist whose research focuses on developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease, including a genetic form that occurs in people with Down syndrome. Dr. Rafii is breaking down these topics today:Alzheimer's 101: How does it progress over time? How many people with and without DS are likely to develop Alzheimer's disease?The science: What gene is responsible for causing Alzheimer's? Current breakthroughs: More people with DS are involved in the research and Dr. Rafii is focused on developing research methods that work for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Take some notes, friends. This is an important one. SPONSORSign up for Enable SNP Today HERE.

Boys who slept nine hours or more every night had a lower obesity risk and less dangerous fat. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. A recent A*Star study found that boys who slept at least nine hours every night had a 51 per cent lower obesity risk and less abdominal fat. Abdominal fat, particularly fat around internal organs, is more strongly linked to metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease than overall body weight. Published in the journal Obesity (Oct 2025), the study used MRI imaging to examine how sleep habits relate to fat distribution in 10-year-olds in Singapore. In this episode, host and ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo finds out more from the study’s authors Dr Cai Shirong and Dr Navin Michael, about the importance of sleep and how sleep deprivation can increase the risk of obesity and overweight in children. Dr Cai And Dr Navin are principal scientists from the A*Star Institute for Human Development and Potential.

Summary In this podcast episode, neuroathletic performance and pain coach Jannik Schuster discusses neurocentric training, a method focusing on the brain and nervous system to enhance performance and alleviate pain. Schuster explains how he discovered this approach through personal experience with injuries and highlights its effectiveness in reducing inflammation and pain. He defines neurocentric training as targeting brain and nervous system interactions to improve performance, distinguishing it from traditional training methods that focus on biomechanical structures. Schuster emphasizes the significance of understanding the nervous system's role in pain and movement limitations, advocating for individualized approaches to address specific nervous system needs. He also discusses the integration of neurocentric training with traditional practices, the impact of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs, and the potential for neurocentric training to become more prevalent in both athletic and therapeutic settings. The conversation underscores the importance of neuroplasticity and suggests resources for those interested in exploring neurocentric training further. Guest Jannik Schuster — Neuroathletic Performance and Pain Coach, M.Sc. in Sports Science, educator, and former elite footballer. After training in the youth academy of FC Augsburg and the professional squad of FC Schweinfurt, Jannik discovered neurocentric training as a breakthrough method to unlock performance, prevent injury, and resolve pain.

Join Discourse! No pitch, just a link to sign up and show your support!In this week's show, we tackle intriguing physiological questions raised by listeners, explore whether different types of exercise interfere with one another to undermine training benefits, and run the Spotlight across stories from the sports world.In Digest this week (10:02):One of the great swimmers of the last decade, Ariane Titmus, has retired in her prime, leaving us to ponder the difference between athletes who go early and those who hang on. And cynically, those who switch to The Enhanced Games, which this week announced another former Olympian to its ranks. We discuss the carrot of the Enhanced Games, and how it capitalizes on incentives to entice athletes to join the movementWe wonder whether tennis players are playing too much, and whether the data support claims made by players like Taylor Fritz, who believe a combination of the calendar, courts and balls are threatening their welfare?In doping, 21% of athletes competing for Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games admitted to doping in the previous twelve months. That's only slightly better than the results of the same survey in Spanish athletes, which put the figure at 36%. Ross and Gareth discuss why the true figure is likely higher, and what it means for doping and anti-doping's effectivenessOur Center Stage topic (45:19) is a paper that explores a phenomenon called "the interference effect", where different types of exercise aimed at endurance or power/strength, have been thought to cancel each other out, undermining the adaptations from training. We explain the origins of that theory, and explore why things are not necessarily as simple as they seemed, with some practical advice for all those who like to mix their training types.In Listener Lens (1:08:33), Ali Robinson showcases what Discourse has to offer, making a fantastic observation about our most recent guest, cyclist Andrew Feather, and his physiological capacity. He introduces us to concepts of anaerobic capacity, or the W prime, and Ross explains how we can all use this concept (runners too!) to understand our performance limits, and design effective interval training sessions, including a challenge to Gareth to test his capacity and design training.And Finally, we introduce a paper on a metabolic ceiling that limits endurance athletes, with a promise to explore it in a future Spotlight editionShow notesTaylor Fritz shares views on load in tennis in an X exchange with fansTennis website with data on rally length and ace rateSurveys reveal a minimum prevalence of doping in athletesThe original WADA investigation on doping prevalence, 2011Our Center stage paper - the interference effect for power and endurance training Hosted on Acast.

Nigeria's response to cerebral palsy stands at a pivotal crossroads. While the world raises awareness and calls for inclusion, Nigeria grapples with significant gaps in understanding, limited access to therapy, and systemic barriers that keep children with CP on the margins.Background: The Landscape of CP in NigeriaCerebral palsy remains one of the most misunderstood childhood disorders in the country. Prevalence estimates vary widely, but many cases go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to low awareness among health workers and families. Therapy services—physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech‑language therapy—are concentrated in urban centres, leaving rural children without basic care. Stigma and discrimination further isolate affected families, and policy frameworks seldom prioritize CP within broader disability agendas.What needs to change?- Awareness & education – training health professionals, teachers, and community leaders to recognise early signs.- Accessible therapy – expanding community‑based rehab hubs and subsidising private therapy costs.- Inclusive policies – integrating CP into national disability legislation, school curricula, and employment guidelines.In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we sit down with a father who's navigating daily life with his CP‑affected child, and with a leading paediatric neurologist who outlines concrete steps for policy, funding, and societal inclusion. Their stories illuminate the urgent reforms needed to turn World Cerebral Palsy Day from a symbolic moment into a catalyst for real, nationwide change.

We live in a culture obsessed with treating symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, brain fog, poor sleep, as if each were an isolated problem. But what if these struggles aren't the problem at all? What if they're just the flashing check engine lights on the dashboard of your body, pointing to a deeper issue that's been hiding in plain sight: Metabolic Disease. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick pulls back the curtain on why nearly every chronic health crisis in America today — from obesity and Type 2 diabetes to heart disease, hypertension, and even dementia — can be traced back to metabolic dysfunction. He explains how the healthcare industry profits from keeping us stuck in a never-ending cycle of pills, injections, and quick fixes, rather than empowering us to address the root cause upstream. You'll also learn about Metabolic Synchronization — a practical, upstream approach that helps realign the body and mind through five key foundations: Proper diet & nutrition Proper movement & muscle development Proper sleep Proper education & mental detox Proper community & support This episode is a wake-up call: the lights are flashing, and the choice is yours. Will you keep patching symptoms downstream, or will you finally pop the hood and reclaim control of your health, your mind, and your future?

With conspiracy theories, fake news, and anti-science rhetoric everywhere, we are living in an age of post-truth. In episode 137 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss the meaning of truth in our contemporary political and social landscape and how post-truth has increased in the recent years. How do phenomena like opinion overload, news fatigue, and information overload contribute to the spread of post truth? And are we really “post” truth, or do we simply live in an age of “many” truths? Ellie and David explore different conceptions of truth, the differences between misinformation and disinformation, and between lying and bullshitting. And what's the connection between post-truth and postmodernism? Have so-called “pomo professors” contributed to the rise of political dishonesty and deception? In the bonus, your hosts talk about Michael Hannon's article “The Politics of Post-Truth” and consider whether “post-truth” is even the right word for the crisis we're facing.Works Discussed: Max Black, “The Prevalence of Humbug”Harry Frankfurt, “On Bullshit”Ralph Keyes, The Post-Truth Era Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern ConditionLee McIntyre, Post-Truth David M.

Anxiety and women have gone hand in hand for many years. And the prevalence has never been higher. Women and anxiety are often used in the same sentence. But most don't recognize the root of anxiety, nor the influence it has on day-to-day life, especially as mothers and women in leadership roles. What is anxiety? Anxiety is an abnormal sense of apprehension and fear that is often marked by physical signs and symptoms. When someone is anxious, they doubt that they will be able to cope with a situation or person. Doubt often leads to overreacting and emotional chaos. Overreacting disrupts stability within the family and influences the emotional state of others. Frequently, anxiety creates a vicious cycle.  Prevalence of anxiety Forty-two point five million Americans claim to suffer from anxiety. The prevalence is higher in women than in men. The statistics are staggering. Breakdown of the relationships between women and anxiety I see three types of women in my coaching practice.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Josh Spitalnick is a clinical and research psychologist with expertise in treating a variety of anxiety conditions with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. In this episode, Josh unpacks the four layers of anxiety—psychological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral—highlighting why avoidance is the key feature that transforms ordinary worry into disorder. He explains why he continues to treat OCD and PTSD as anxiety conditions despite their DSM-5 reclassification, and he draws important distinctions between worries versus worrying and thoughts versus thinking. The discussion explores health anxiety, illness anxiety, and the impact of modern contributors such as wearables, social media, and the COVID era, while weaving in real-world case studies and Josh's structured assessment approach. Josh also breaks down evidence-based treatments, from exposure therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), along with the role of medication, lifestyle factors, and how shifting from avoidance to committed action can build long-term resilience.

Considering how often we utilize technology, we don't spend as nearly as much time as we should protecting ourselves against the inherent vulnerabilities and bad actors who would exploit the very tools designed to improve our lives. The fact of the matter is, cybersecurity has become a huge issue (only to become more relevant as technology advances). My guest today, Dr. Eric Cole, has spent decades learning, understanding, and teaching people how to protect themselves and their loved ones from cyber-threats. Today, we talk about the apps that are more dangerous than others, how best to keep your children safe from online predators, what he calls, cyber-hygiene, why passwords are dead and what to do about it, and why social media will never fully protect children.
