Podcasts about processing

In this illuminating episode we speak with Dr. Filippa Juul. An epidemiologist and leading researcher on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on human health. Together, we unpack what ultra-processed really means, why it's not just about calories or macros, and how these foods are stealthily contributing to the global rise in obesity, chronic illness, and food addiction. Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutritional epidemiologist and Faculty Fellow at the Department of Public Health Policy and Management at the New York University School of Global Public Health (NYU GPH). She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from NYU GPH in 2020, following a MSc in Public Health Nutrition from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and a BA in Nutrition and Dietetics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Dr. Juul's research focuses on improving cardiometabolic health outcomes at the population level, with a particular interest in the role of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in diet quality, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She utilizes large U.S. population studies to examine these associations and is also exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of UPFs on cardiometabolic health.  Dr. Juul explains the NOVA classification system, dives into recent groundbreaking studies, and offers insights into why UPFs are so difficult to resist—and what we can do about it, both individually and at the policy level.

Send us a textThe world of biologics manufacturing is undergoing a major transformation. Once dominated by traditional batch processes, the industry is now experiencing a marked shift toward continuous bioprocessing.But as companies contemplate this transition, two questions dominate strategic discussions: Will regulators accept continuous manufacturing? And, perhaps more pressingly, Does the business case justify making the switch?In this podcast episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, David Brühlmann dives into these pivotal topics - drawing insights from real-world case studies, regulatory updates, and economic analyses.Top three takeaways:Regulators Are On Board: The FDA, EMA, and global agencies now actively support continuous processing when robust controls and monitoring are in place.Real Economic Wins: Cost of goods reductions of up to 35% are possible at certain production scales, with much smaller facilities and lower risk of batch failure.Hybrid & Phased Approaches Work: Companies are finding success by first investing in enabling technologies and gradually transitioning, rather than making sudden changes.Continuous bioprocessing is no longer an experimental promise - it's an evolving standard. With regulatory bodies championing the shift, real-world implementations proving technical and economic viability, and strong financial incentives for the right manufacturers, the transition becomes not a question of “if,” but “when.”Curious how continuous manufacturing can fit into your strategy?

Grief doesn't wait for the perfect moment—and neither does oral cancer. In this powerful episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau welcomes Dr. Parul Dua-Makkar to share how personal tragedy transformed her career and fueled a mission to save lives. After losing her brother—also a dentist—to oral cancer at just 34, Parul now advocates for early diagnosis, clinical vigilance, and emotional healing within dentistry. This isn't just a clinical conversation—it's a raw, inspiring look at how loss can fuel purpose, and how every provider can be a part of the legacy of prevention. You'll also learn how grief doesn't follow a linear path, the emotional complexity of legacy, and why speaking about difficult topics can be the most powerful way to connect and lead in the dental community. Dr. Parul reminds us all: life is short, but the impact you make can be lasting. Some of the powerful insights from this episode include: Early detection saves lives: Persistent red or white lesions lasting more than two weeks must be evaluated—biopsies are non-negotiable. Technology is a tool, not a replacement: Light-based oral screening aids are helpful, but only biopsies offer definitive answers. Grief is complex—and valid: Whether from personal or professional loss, grief affects every part of your life and practice. Processing it is crucial to continue showing up fully. Legacy is not about length, but impact: What you leave behind—through your words, your work, or how you treat others—matters more than you know. Support and community are essential: Healing doesn't happen alone. Sharing stories helps others feel seen, heard, and less isolated in their struggles. — Key Takeaways 00:45 Introduction to Leaving a Legacy 03:26 The Impact of Oral Cancer 11:45 Grief and Its Many Forms 20:54 Understanding Legacy 24:23 Life Interrupted: A Book of Lessons 27:30 Speaking Out on Oral Cancer Awareness 30:53 Lightning Round Q&A   — Connect with Dr. Parul Dua-Makkar: Website: www.parulduamakkar.com Instagram: @duagoodjob Coaching & Resources: duagoodjob.com Explore her free grief and cancer support resources, check out her speaking topics, or grab a copy of her book "Life Interrupted: Dr. Dua's Survival Guide" available on Amazon.   — Learn proven dental marketing strategies and online reputation management techniques at DrLenTau.com.

"Whether death for us comes first or the rapture happens, we will see our loved ones again. And this is the hope that keeps me going every day. Sure, my mom isn’t with me right now; however, Jesus is with me, and He is with her too." - Vivian Bricker In this poignant episode of Your Daily Prayer, Vivian Bricker reflects on the anniversary of her mother’s passing, sharing a raw and honest account of how grief continues to shape her life. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14, she reminds us that we are not without hope—because Jesus has overcome death.This devotional and prayer are especially for anyone who is remembering a loved one today and seeking peace and comfort in the presence of God.

In this raw and deeply honest episode of Healing Starts with the Heart, Sharon Brubaker invites listeners into the messy, painful, and necessary truth of what it means to lean in to grief. Instead of hiding, numbing, or pretending you're okay, Sharon challenges you to stop running from the pain and start facing it head-on. This is not about suffering for suffering's sake—it's about healing the only way that works: by feeling it all. If you've ever told yourself, “If I let this out, I'll never stop crying,” this episode is for you. Sharon unpacks the myths we're told about grief, the lies we believe to stay strong, and what it truly means to begin moving pain through you—not around you. Key Points Discussed: Why avoidance only deepens and prolongs grief The dangerous myth that time alone heals grief What “leaning into the pain” actually looks like in real life How grief lives in the body—and what happens when we suppress it The truth about emotional numbness and false strength Why staying “composed” is not the same as healing The power of sitting with your grief, naming your pain, and giving it space The importance of breaking free from performative grieving and moving into true processing How leaning in, little by little, helps you reclaim pieces of yourself Real-life stories of clients who finally allowed themselves to cry—and what happened next Why grief is not a lifetime sentence, unless you choose it to be Journal Questions for Reflection: What pain have you been avoiding in your grief? Where in your body do you feel the heaviness of your loss? What lies have you been told (or believed) about being strong? What might shift if you gave yourself permission to fall apart today? Can you name a moment when you chose numbness over feeling? What did that cost you? What part of your grief needs to be witnessed right now—by you? Conclusion: Grief demands to be felt. Not hidden, not ignored, not scheduled. And the truth is, real healing only begins when you choose to lean in. You don't have to be strong. You don't have to pretend. You just have to show up—to your own pain—with honesty and compassion. You'll find that in the leaning, there's light. There's breath. There's a path forward.

We're wrapping up the design for the OPT4048 breakout: mostly putting the finishing touches on the Arduino library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_OPT4048). Since the whole point of this sensor is that it gives you CIE X & Y coordinates, we thought it would be cool to plot that onto a CIE diagram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space). Historically, we'd have to use Processing (https://processing.org/), but now you can use WebSerial to get data directly from a microcontroller! Only catch — it's been like 15 years since I wrote JavaScript, so we asked Claude Code (https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) to help out. With a little direction, it delivered a perfect demo (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_OPT4048/commits/gh-pages) in about 30 minutes. It was so fun, we're thinking of doing WebSerial demos for more products! You can try it out by uploading the code here (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_OPT4048/blob/main/examples/opt4048_webserial/opt4048_webserial.ino) and then visiting this page: https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_OPT4048/webserial/ #Arduino #WebSerial #ColorSensor Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

What if the way we talk about birth is shaping the way we experience it—before it even begins? Joining me to unpack this is journalist, professor, and author of Invisible Labor: The Untold Story of the Cesarean Section, Rachel Somerstein.   Together we explore:   The hidden biases and ingrained language that shape how we view birth—why terms like "failure to progress" reinforce harmful narratives. Why flexibility is a powerful tool in birth and parenting—and why we so often slip into rigidity when we feel anxious or out of control. The societal pressure to “do birth right” and how it impacts a birthing person's experience. The troubling reality of whose life we prioritize in birth and what that says about our values in America. Why do some births lead to trauma while others don't? What the research reveals about the difference. The importance of preparing for a c-section—even if it's not part of your birth plan—so that you feel safe and supported if it happens. Simple but impactful shifts that could make c-sections a more positive experience.   With 1 in 3 births resulting in a c-section, this is a conversation every birthing person deserves to hear. Tune in for a thought-provoking deep dive into the realities of modern birth and what we can do to reclaim agency in the process.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

What happens when you finally feel your emotions instead of trying to numb them with alcohol? In this episode, we hear two powerful coaching conversations. Coach Zoe talks with Jill, who is finding her way back to her spiritual side after years of working in a high-stress job where drinking was common. Coach Ruby works with Ambur, a former college athlete and mom of two young kids, who is now 120 days alcohol-free. Both women are learning how to feel their emotions instead of escaping them. They're on the road to understanding the urge to drink as a sign that they were feeling disconnected from who they really are. These sessions show how self-kindness and body awareness can take the place of alcohol when it comes to handling tough emotions. In Jill's session with Coach Zoe: Returning to neglected areas of life, like spirituality, after quitting. Recognizing how career focus can inadvertently support drinking habits. Learning to connect with and process bodily sensations and emotions. Exploring meditation and somatic work as tools for emotional regulation. Utilizing anchoring techniques to stay present during discomfort. Understanding self-compassion as a key to emotional processing. The significance of acknowledging and learning from past drinking experiences and more… In Ambur's session with Coach Ruby: Navigating early motherhood and perfectionism without alcohol Celebrating 120 days alcohol-free and learning to feel again Understanding the urge to drink as a desire to escape loneliness Using meditation, exercise, and truth-telling as new tools Processing emotions instead of labeling them as “bad” Letting go of judgment and learning to sit with discomfort Replacing sneaky drinking with honest communication Exploring what a sustainable alcohol-free life looks like and more… Zoe Ewart is a Certified Naked Mind Senior Coach who brings her experience and understanding to help with the tricky parts of life's big changes.

This episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast with Dr. Sunil Budhrani (Chief Innovation & Medical Officer) highlights the transformative potential of Judi Health™, the first Unified Claims Processing™ platform offering a combined medical and pharmacy benefit experience (with vision and dental soon to follow)! Why is unifying claim administration necessary to reach a value-based world? Well, everyone has been talking about VBC for years, and it's proved to be an elusive target. On Episode 7, Dr. Budhrani explained why pharmacy must be included in the equation along with providers, patients, and payers, and today we go a level deeper, explaining why "everything" - all the patient's data - must be in one system to be able to achieve better health outcomes at a lower cost. On AH054 - Judi Health™: Going Beyond Pharmacy and into Medical Claims, with AJ Loiacono and Dr. Sunil Budhrani, we revealed what we're doing and why.Today, Sunil discusses our experience thus far - 5 months into our unified claims experience - and the importance of flexibility in plan design to achieve a plan's goals. He also explains how Judi Health helps to empower providers and the provider-patient relationship via a "transparent architecture." What should the experience be like for patients? How about the plan sponsor/HR team side of the equation? Tune in to find out and hear why Judi Health represents an "opportunity to see - and achieve - what many people in healthcare say cannot exist" (hint: it's a win for all stakeholders).
