We all know about the medical school curriculum. But what about the hidden curriculum, or how students learn about the unspoken culture of medicine through everyday, informal interactions? In this episode, Dr. Sandra Quezada and Dr. Sarah Dubbs explore the hidden curriculum with some examples, chat about whether the hidden curriculum can be positive or negative, and offer guidance on how students can best navigate the hidden curriculum and thrive within it.   References: Lawrence C, Mhlaba T, Stewart KA, et al.

The Pacific Island nations, located between Hawaii and Guam, are strategically important for the US. China's comprehensive national power metric ranks countries based on various factors, including economic, military, and political influence.

The Chinese Communist Party's influence extends beyond government and includes economic, social, and criminal elements. The US and its allies need to be aware of China's grand strategy and its impact on the Pacific region. The principal themes of the conversation are the importance of addressing corruption in the Pacific Islands, the strategic significance of the Pacific region, the need for maritime domain enforcement, and the role of the US in supporting the Pacific Islands.Takeaways:China is actively growing its influence in the Pacific Island nations, which are strategically important for the US.China's comprehensive national power metric ranks countries based on various factors and aims to increase China's power while decreasing the power of other nations.China's approach is externally focused and includes economic, social, and criminal elements.The US and its allies need to be aware of China's grand strategy and its impact on the Pacific region. Corruption in the Pacific Islands is a major issue that needs to be addressed, as it undermines national security and allows China to gain influence in the region.The Pacific region is strategically significant, and control over the islands and maritime routes is crucial for both the US and China.Maritime domain enforcement is essential to protect the rights and interests of the Pacific Islands and to counter illegal activities by China.The US should provide support to the Pacific Islands in terms of intelligence sharing, investigations, and strengthening their legal systems to combat corruption and defend their communities.The US needs to increase its presence and engagement in the Pacific Islands to counter China's influence and protect its own interests in the region.Sound Bites:"If you have a Pacific centered map, you know, the Indo-Pacific is going to be the, to the 21st century, what the Atlantic was to the 20th century.""China's comprehensive national power mentality seems to have actually translated into action in the way that they interact with the region.""China's approach is not just a kind of zero-sum game.

Can a musical comedy featuring Hamlet and Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger change lives? Actor, playwright, and director Colman Domingo thinks so. In Sing Sing, a new film from A24, Domingo stars in a true story about the power of theater. Inspired by the real-life Rehabilitation through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, Sing Sing tells the story of Divine G, played by Domingo, imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, who finds purpose by acting in a theater group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy. Sing Sing stars an ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors who are alumni of the RTA program, including Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin and Sean San José. Domingo takes us behind the scenes of the making of Sing Sing. He also shares how he became an actor after a class at Temple University and his own Shakespeare story including an inventive take on Helena from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Domingo is beloved for onscreen portrayals including Civil Rights activist Bayard Rustin in Netlfix's Rustin for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Other films include Lincoln, Selma, If Beale Street Could Talk, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Zola, and The Color Purple. His breakthrough came as conman Victor Strand on Fear the Walking Dead. He won an Emmy for his performance as Ali on HBO Max's Euphoria. On stage he was nominated for Tony and Olivier awards for his role as Mr. Bones in The Scottsboro Boys. He wrote the book for the Broadway musical Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2024.

Imagine: a fiercely idealistic, politically progressive artist takes the stand at a hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee. The chair of the committee is a hard-right demagogue with a gift for sound bites and a fixation with Communism. If you're picturing Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist crusade in the 1950s… think two decades earlier. This story played during the Great Depression. The congressman was Martin Dies, a Democrat from Texas. On the stand was Hallie Flanagan, the director of the Federal Theater Project, Franklin D. Roosevelt's ambitious program to rescue live theater in America. The project attempted to create jobs for thousands of out-of-work playwrights, actors, directors, and backstage technicians. It commissioned new plays and staged productions all around the country. And, despite logistical hitches and ideological blowback, the Federal Theater managed to reach millions of Americans, many of whom had never seen a live production ever before. Columbia University Professor James Shapiro's new book, The Playbook: A Story of Theater, Democracy, and the Making of a Culture War, tells the story of that New Deal program and how it changed our cultural and political landscape.

Welcome back to Season 11 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity, and results using practical neuroscience. In today's episode, number 336, we continue our 18-week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's tailored approaches to self-leadership. We delve into Chapter 10, exploring the neural science of persuasion and influence. This topic emerged as a key focus area for 2024, providing insights into why understanding persuasion and influence is essential for long-term success. We revisit past episodes and notable works like Jack Carew's You'll Never Get No for an Answer and Mark Waldman's Words Can Change Your Brain. Learn about the three modes of persuasion—logos, pathos, and ethos—as well as practical strategies for improving your persuasive approach. Discover how to apply six scientifically validated principles of persuasion by Dr. Robert Cialdini, focusing on reciprocity, scarcity, and authority. These principles can help you build lasting influence and effectively communicate your ideas. Join us as we explore the difference between persuasion and influence and how to use these skills to achieve your goals while helping others. This episode is dedicated to Monica Gilfillan, a highly influential figure in education, whose support and inspiration remind us of the power of helping others first. Don't miss out on these valuable insights to enhance your self-leadership journey. Subscribe, review, and rate our podcast to stay updated with new episodes! On today's EPISODE #336 we will cover: ✔ The difference between persuasion and influence. ✔ Strategies to improve our persuasion muscles and ways to become more influential for longer lasting relationships and impact. ✔ 3 Tips to Put the Science of Persuasion and Influence into Practice in our Daily Lives. ✔ Dedicated to Monica Gilliflan, a highly influential figure in education, whose support and inspiration remind us of the power of helping others first. On today's episode #336 we continue with our 18-Week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience” that we first dove into with our interview on EP #321[i] the end of January.  The goal was that each week, we focused on learning something new, (from Grant's book) that builds off the prior week, to help take us to greater heights in 2024. For Today, EPISODE #336, we are moving on to Chapter 10, covering “The Neuroscience of Persuasion and Influence” which came as a surprise to me that Pathway Two, showed up as my highest area of focus for 2024. When I looked at the topics that are listed in this pathway, I can see why this area is a work in progress for me, and this self-assessment picked up that I need to make these 3 areas listed in this pathway, a priority in 2024. I'm paying attention to what neuroscience says about persuade and influence, in addition to inspiration, motivation that we covered on EP 324[ii] and presence, that's the last chapter in this book, and I think the most important. (at least for me). If you've taken the leadership self-assessment[iii], look to see if Persuade and Influence is of a low, medium or high priority for you to focus on this year. Thinking back on past episodes, I know we have not yet covered this topic entirely, except for the time I was asked to review Jack Carew's classic book from 1987 called You'll Never Get No For an Answer that was covered on EP176.[iv] We explored “Why Our Brains Don't Like the Word No” and revisited Mark Waldman's book from 2013 Words Can Change Your Brain where we were reminded that  “Words can heal, or hurt—if you were in an fMRI scanner (that can take a video of the neural changes happening in your brain) (and you were told a firm NO! for something) we could record, in less than a second, a substantial increase of activity in your amygdala and the release of dozens of stress-producing hormones and neurotransmitters…that immediately interrupt the normal functioning of your brain, especially those that are involved with logic, reason, language processing, and communication. And the more you stay focused on negative words and thoughts, the more you can damage key structures that regulate your memory, feelings, and emotions. This may disrupt your sleep, your appetite, and the way your brain regulates happiness, longevity and health.”[v] In this episode, we looked at 5/10 of Jack Carew's unique strategies that American Author and Salesman Og Mandino encouraged us all to read to improve our communication and influence with others and I noticed that Strategy 2 was to stop looking out for number one and always look for how you can help others first. So, after noticing this, I went straight to Chapter 10 of Grant Bosnick's book, on “Persuade and Influence” to see what he had to say on this topic. Right off the bat, in the opening of this chapter, Bosnick asks us to think about how we would persuade someone else to do something, like give you a pen you would like to have, for example, or ask for a promotion, or ask someone to buy something you are selling. Then he differentiates the word persuade that he says “we can think of as quick, more direct, more for short-term or immediate gain” (Chapter 10, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership) while influence he says “is softer, more subtle, much more for longer term and lasting gain.” (Chapter 10, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership) Persuasion Bosnick says is “more tactical, whereas influence is strategic.”  He gives us the history of persuasion, explaining its origin from the early Greek Philosophers, and that Aristotle wrote about three modes of persuasion: logos (that's about logic and reason), pathos (that's about emotion and inspiration) and ethos (that's about the speaker's own character and credibility). Thinking of Jack Carew's second tip in his book to improve our influence with others (by putting other people first) I think is a good example of a strategy that builds this concept for long-lasting gain (influence) versus persuading someone to give me something that I need for short-term, or immediate gain (like, to pass me their pen, so I can write down something important that I'll need to remember). Bosnick provides a list of strategies to improve our persuasive approach, that includes giving people a sense of ownership, or automony to persuade them to take action with something, or by praising them, and making them feel good for taking action. He offers an exercise to further build our persuasive skills by asking us to complete a sentence: I would like to persuade x to do the following. Then he brings in Jack Carew's strategy for becoming more influential and asks us to think about “what's important to them: their goals, concerns, passions and values.” (Chapter 10, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, Page 109). Bosnick goes on to explain how to build influence and his exercise reminded me of a networking event I attended in 2014 called Ceospace.[vi] This was an organization where many leaders came up with an idea, and took their idea out into the world, with the help of a larger, more influential network. Author Adam Markel wrote that “it was one of the most magnificent places for entrepreneurs and business owners to come together to seek guidance, insights, inspiration, collaboration, and support.” It's where Jack Canfield[vii] came up with the idea for his Chicken Soup for the Soul book series, where Lisa Nichols[viii] first began public speaking, and where countless thousands of others launched their ideas into the world. The CEO of this organization passed away in 2020, and from what I can see, this organization didn't thrive without his presence. This CEO, Berny Dohrman, had quite a life story. I felt a connection to Berny because of his passion to make an impact on our educational system. He wrote a book called Super Change[ix]  that was about the tools and strategies needed to survive and thrive in an uncertain future. What I think Berny Dohrmann had that was special, was that he used his influence, to create long lasting change in others. He did not persuade anyone to come to his events for short term results, but was able to influence others easily, with a vision for a better future. It all stemmed around his networking event, where participants would do speed rounds, to meet as many people as possible, asking the other person “What are you working on, and how can I help you.” At the end of the event, participants would have access to high level connections, all who were willing to share the strategies for success that worked for them. It was a brilliant idea, and I know this event took many leaders to new heights. The Science of Persuasion and Influence What was so special about how Berny Dohrmann influenced others? Why was Jack Carew's book from the 1980s still being taught in sales training classes today? I had to look up the Science of Persuasion and Influence and found “6 Scientifically Validated Principles of Persuasion and Influence” that came from Dr. Robert Cialdini.[x] (Chald-ini) I picked the first three to highlight here. Reciprocity. We are obliged to give if we have been given something. This was the whole idea behind Berny's networking events. Participants didn't ask for what they wanted FIRST, they offered to help someone else first, and after you had helped them, they would be more open to helping you. This was also Jack Carew's second strategy. Stop looking out for number one. Always think of how you can help others first, and you will naturally draw them to want to help you back. Scarcity. If it's scarce, we want it more. Use this by highlighting the Benefits, Uniqueness and Possible Loss. Berny did this with his networking events by holding them twice a year. If you missed the event, you missed the chance to network with these brilliant minds. Jack Carew picked this as his 10th strategy for becoming more influential. He called his last chapter in the book “Become the Only Choice.” What if you missed the event that would change your future? Carew explains this concept like “the fear of loss.” No one want to miss an opportunity. There is a science to persuading and influencing others and it's all about showing others how you (or what you offer) is unique and something that no one else (other than you) can offer. Authority. We are more likely to comply with a request if it is coming from a perceived authority/expert. Dr. Cialdini explains this one on the home page of his website, Influence at Work: Proven Science for Business Success. He says that “it's important to signal to others what makes you credible before you attempt to influence them.”[xi] It's better if you don't do this yourself, and have someone else introduce you, with your credentials, first. This is what made Berny Dohrmann's networking events successful as each participant was introduced to another person with their credentials and experience, that gave that person instant authority to help, or influence others. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude this week's episode #336 on Chapter 10 on “The Neuroscience of Persuading and Influencing” DID YOU KNOW: “There are 6 short cuts to increase the chances that someone will be persuaded?” (Robert Cialdini) We covered the first three: Reciprocity. We are obliged to give if we have been given something. Use the neuroscience of influence and persuasion, and think of ways to help others first, (just like Berny Dohrmann's networking events), instead of thinking what you can gain from other people, think of what you can give to them. Always be the first to give and take the time to make sure what you are giving is personalized and useful to that person. This way, what you will give will have more meaning to that person. Scarcity. If it's scarce, we want it more. Use this by highlighting the Benefits, Uniqueness and Possible Loss. Take the time to find out how what you are offering to someone else, will help them. You will need to find out what they are looking for to do this, by asking questions, and listening. Then you can “frame what you are saying/offering, so others will find it to be valuable.”[xii] Authority. We are more likely to comply with a request if it is coming from a perceived authority/expert. Being introduced by others is a fast way to have others learn about your expertise, making you instantly more influential and persuasive. We looked at Chapter 10 from Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership where Bosnick explained the difference between the word persuade that he says “we can think of as quick, more direct, more for short-term or immediate gain” (Chapter 10, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership) while influence he says “is softer, more subtle, much more for longer term and lasting gain.” (Chapter 10, Bosnick, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership). We looked at a past episode on this topic, taking us back to Mark Waldman's book from 2013 Words Can Change Your Brain reminding us to be careful of the words we choose to speak to others. My take-away from this chapter: If I want to improve my influence, it begins with understanding the wants and needs of my audience first (how can I help them) and then being able to say what I mean, and mean what I say. The words I speak do matter when I'm working on gaining influence.  If I'm speaking with someone, and not being completely honest, or not meaning what I say, I know that this can be felt by the other person, and it will hurt my ability to gain trust, rapport and influence. Our brains can detect “benefits and threats”[xiii] and I want to be sure that I'm drawing those I want to interact with towards me, not away from me. Once I have gained influence with someone I am speaking with, then I can take my persuasion skills to the next level, and we can begin to work together on our common goals. For example, if someone is asking me in a sales situation if I can offer them a discount. When I've build rapport and trust with this person, I can say “yes, I can give you 5% off this order, if you would be able to guarantee the order will come in by the end of this month.” We can begin to use our persuasion and influencing skills to not only give others what they need, but also negotiate with them, for what we need. I hope this episode has helped to give you some ideas on ways to practice the neuroscience of persuading and influencing, to help others with their goals first, and then in turn, allow you to move yourself forward in this process, with these skills. I also want to end this episode, with a mention to someone I ran into recently, who I had not seen about 10 years. I ran into Monica Gilfillan[xiv] an avid listener of this podcast, and I had no idea, until we spoke recently and she shared how these episodes were helping her with new ideas. This made me feel proud and grateful (coming from a peer) and did infuse me with some extra energy to keep going with these episodes. If there is someone I would list as highly influential, who knows how to persuade others, it's Monica Gilfillan. Over the years, I noticed as I connected with a new person in the field of education, they were always connected to her. After she shared how the podcast was helping her, she went straight to ask me how she could help, and what I needed. We all need people in our network who are wired to help others, and I highly suggest connecting with Monica, especially if you are in the field of education. She is an influencer who everyone can benefit from knowing. I thought it was fitting to dedicate The Neuroscience of Persuasion and Influence to Monica Gilfillan and to thank her (and all of you who tune in) for listening. CONNECT with Monica Gilfillan https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicagilfillan/ And with that, we will close out this episode. We'll see you next with Chapter 11 on Time Management. REVIEW In this 18-week Series that we began in the beginning of February, (after I was inspired to cover Grant's book after our interview the end of January) we are covering: ✔ Powerful tactics from this Grant Bosnick's award-winning book that illustrates how change and achievement are truly achievable both from internal ('inside out') and external ('outside in') perspectives. ✔Listeners will grasp the immense power of self-leadership and its transformative effect on personal growth and success by applying the neuroscience Grant has uncovered in each chapter. ✔Explore practical strategies for habit formation and the impact of a self-assessment system. ✔Gain insights from Grant's expert advice on maintaining a balance between strengths and weaknesses while chasing after your goals. ✔Embark on an intellectual journey that has the power to elevate personal achievement and self-awareness to uncharted levels while we map out our journey over this 18-week course.

Episode 164: More Than Just A HeadacheDr. Song presents a case of a subacute headache that required an extensive workup and multiple visits to the hospital and clinic to get a diagnosis. Dr. Arreaza added comments about common causes of subacute headaches.    Written by Zheng (David) Song, MD. Editing and 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.Introduction to the episode: We are happy to announce the class of 2027 of the Rio Bravo / Clinica Sierra Vista Family Medicine Residency Program. Our new group will be (in alphabetical order): Ahamed El Azzih Mohamad, Basiru Omisore, Kenechukwu Nweke, Mariano Rubio, Nariman Almnini, Patrick De Luna, Sheila Toro, and Syed Hasan. We welcome all of you. We hope you can enjoy 3 enriching and fulfilling years. During this episode, you will hear a conversation between Dr. Arreaza and Dr. Song. Some elements of the case have been modified or omitted to protect the patient's confidentiality. 1. Introduction to the case: Headache. A 40-year-old male with no significant PMH presents to the ED in a local hospital due to over a month history of headaches. Per the patient, headaches usually start from the bilateral temporal side as a tingling sensation, and it goes to the frontal part of the head and then moves up to the top of the head. 8 out of 10 severities were the worst. Pt reports sometimes hypersensitivity to outdoor sunlight but not indoor light. OTC ibuprofen was helpful for the headache, but the headache always came back after a few hours. The patient states that if he gets up too quickly, he feels slightly dizzy sometimes, but it is only for a short period of time. There was only one episode of double vision lasting a few seconds about 2 weeks ago but otherwise, the patient denies any other neurological symptom. He does not know the cause of the headache and denies any similar history of headaches in the past. The patient denies any vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, abdominal pain, or joint pain. The patient further denies any recent traveling or sick contact. He does not take any chronic medication. The patient denies any previous surgical history. He does not smoke, drink, or use illicit drugs. What are your differential diagnoses at this moment? Primary care: Tension headache, migraines, chronic sinusitis, and more.2. Continuation of the case: Fever and immigrant.Upon further inquiries, the patient endorses frequent “low-grade fever” but he did not check his temperature. He denies any significant fatigue, night sweats, or weight loss. He migrated from Bolivia to the U.S. 12 years ago and has been working as a farm worker in California for the past 10 years. He is married. His wife and daughter are at home in Bolivia. He is currently living with friends. He is not sexually active at this moment and denies having any sexual partners. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Tension headache, migraine, infections, autoimmune disease, neurocysticercosis. 3. Continuation of the case: Antibiotics and eosinophilia. As we kept asking for more information, the patient remembered he visited a clinic about four months ago for a dry cough and was told he had bronchitis and was given antibiotics and the cough got better after that. He went to another local hospital ED one month after that because the cough came back, now with occasional phlegm and at that time he also noticed two “bumps” on his face but nothing significant. After a CXR at the ED, the patient was diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and sent home with cough medication and another course of antibiotics. His cough improved after the second round of antibiotics. We later found on the medical record that the CXR showed “mild coarse perihilar interstitial infiltrates of unknown acuity”. His blood works at the ED showed WBC 15.2, with lymphocyte 21.2%, monocyte 10.1%, neutrophil 61.7%, eosinophil 5.9% (normally 1-4%), normal kidney, liver functions, and electrolytes, and prescribed with benzonatate 100mg TID and doxycycline 100mg bid for 10 days. He went to the same ED one month before he saw us for headache and fever (we reviewed his EMR, and temp was 99.8F at the ED). After normal CBC, CMP and chest x-ray. The patient was diagnosed with a viral illness and discharged home with ibuprofen 400mg q8h.Due to the ongoing symptoms of headache and fever, the patient went back to the same clinic he went to four months ago for a dry cough and requested a complete physical and blood work. The patient was told he had a viral condition and was sent home with oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for five days. However, the provider did order some blood work for him. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Patients with subacute meningitis typically have an unrelenting headache, stiff neck, low-grade fever, and lethargy for days to several weeks before they present for evaluation. Cranial nerve abnormalities and night sweats may be present. Common causative organisms include M. tuberculosis, C. neoformans, H. capsulatum, C. immitis, and T. pallidum. At his physical exam visit, the patient actually asked the provider specifically to check him for coccidiomycosis because of his job as a farm worker and he heard from his friends that the infection rate is pretty high in the Central Valley of California. His serum cocci serology panel showed positive IGG and IGM with CF titer of 1:128. His HIV, syphilis, HCV, HBV are all negative. The patient was told by that clinic to come to ED due to his history of headache, fever, and very high serum coccidiomycosis titer.  The senior and resident intern were on the night shift that night and we were contacted by the ED provider at around 9:30 pm for this patient. When reviewing his ED record, his vitals were totally normal at the ED, the preliminary ED non-contrast head CT showed no acute intracranial abnormality. A lumbar puncture was performed by the ED provider, which showed WBCs (505 - 71%N, 20%L, 7%M), RBC (1), glucose (19), and protein (200). CSF: High Leukocytes, low glucose, and high protein.On the physical exam, the patient was pleasant and cooperative, he was A&O x 4, he had a normal examination except for two brown healing small nodules on his forehead and left cheek and slight neck stiffness. At that point, we knew the patient most likely had fungal meningitis by cocci except for the predominant WBC in his CSF fluid was neutrophil not the more typical picture of lymphocyte dominant. And because of his very benign presentation and subacute history, we were not 100% sure if we had a strong reason to admit this patient. We thought this patient could be managed as an outpatient with oral fluconazole and referred to infectious disease and neurology. 4. Continuation of case: Admission to the hospital.Looking back, one thing that was overlooked while checking this patient in the ED was the LP opening pressure. Later, the open pressure was reported as 340mm H2O (very high). The good thing was, after speaking to the ED attending and our attending, the patient was admitted to the hospital and started on oral fluconazole.  Three hours after the admission, a rapid response was called on him. While the floor nurses were doing their check-in physical examination, the patient had a 5-minute episode of seizure-like activity which included bilateral tonic arm/hand movements, eye deviation to the left, LOC unresponsive to sternal rub, and the patient desaturated to 77%. He eventually regained consciousness after the seizure and pulse oximetry increased to 100% on room air. The patient was started on Keppra and seen by a neurologist the following day. His 12-hour EEG was normal, but his head MRI showed “diffuse thickening and nodularity of the basal meninges are seen demonstrating enhancement, suggesting chronic meningitis, possibly related to cocci. Other etiologies including sarcoidosis and TB meningitis and/or infiltration by metastatic process/lymphoma are not excluded. The ventricles are slightly prominent in size”. MRI of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines also showed extensive diffuse leptomeningeal thickening, extensive meningitis, and nodular dural thickening. Also, his chest x-ray showed “some heterogeneity and remodeling of the distal half of the left clavicle. Metabolic bone disease, infectious etiology and/old trauma considered”. This could also be due to disseminated cocci infection. The infectious disease doctor saw this patient and recommended continuing with fluconazole, serial LPs until opening pressure is less than 250 mmH2O and neurosurgery consultation for possible VP shunt placement. The neurologist recommended the patient continue with Keppra indefinitely in the context of structural brain damage secondary to cocci meningitis.Take home points: Suspect cocci meningitis in patients with subacute headache associated with respiratory symptoms, new skin lesions, photophobia, neck stiffness, nausea, vomiting, eosinophilia, erythema nodosum (painful nodules on the anterior aspect of legs). Other symptoms to look for include arthralgias, particularly of the ankles, knees, and wrists.____________________Brief summary of coccidiomycosis. Etiology Coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley fever, is caused by dimorphic soil-dwelling fungi of the genus Coccidioides (C. immitis and C. posadasii). They are indistinguishable in clinical presentation and routine laboratory test results.1, 2, 3, 5Epidemiology In the United States, endemic areas include the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley of California and the south-central region of Arizona. However, infection may be acquired in other areas of the southwestern United States, including the southern coastal counties in California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, southern New Mexico, and western Texas (including the Rio Grande Valley). There are also cases in eastern Washington state and in northeastern Utah. Outside the United States, coccidioidomycosis is endemic to northern Mexico as well as to localized regions of Central and South America.1, 2Overall, the incidence within the United States increased substantially over the 1998-2019, most of that increase occurred in south-central Arizona and in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. From 1998 to2019, reported cases in California increased from 719 to 9004.1, 6The risk of infection is increased by direct exposure to soil harboring Coccidioides. Past outbreaks have occurred in military trainees, archaeologists, construction or agricultural workers, people exposed to earthquakes or dust storms. However, in endemic areas, many cases of Coccidioides infection occur without obvious soil or dust exposure and are not associated with outbreaks. Change in population, climate change, urbanization and construction activities, and increased awareness and reporting, are possible contributing factors.1, 2, 5 Pathology In the soil, Coccidioides organisms exist as filamentous molds. Small structures called arthroconidia from the hyphae may become airborne for extended periods. Arthroconidia are usually 3-5 μm—small enough to evade bronchial tree mucosal mechanical defenses and reach deep into the lungs.1, 3Once inhaled by a susceptible host into the lung, the arthroconidia develop into spherules (theparasitic existence in a host), which are unique to Coccidioides. Endospores from ruptured spherules can themselves develop into spherules, thus propagating infection locally.1, 3, 5Although rare cases of solid organ donor-derived or fomite transmitted infections have been reported, coccidioidomycosis does not occur in person-to-person or zoonotic contagion, and transplacental infection in humans has never been documented.2, 5Cellular immunity plays a crucial role in the host's control of coccidioidomycosis. Among individuals with decreased cellular immunity, Coccidioides may spread locally or hematogenously after an initial symptomatic or asymptomatic pulmonary infection to extrathoracic organs.1, 3, 7Clinical manifestationThe majority of infected individuals (about 60%) are completely asymptomatic. Symptomatic persons (40% of cases) have symptoms that are related principally to pulmonary infection, including cough, dyspnea, and pleuritic chest pain. Some patients may also experience fever, headache (common finding in early-stage infection and does not represent meningitis), fatigue, night sweats, rash, myalgia.1, 2, 3, 5In most patients, primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis usually resolves in weeks without sequelae and lifelong immunity to reinfection. However, some patients may develop chronic pulmonary complications, such as nodules or pulmonary cavities, or chronic fibrocavitary pneumonia. Some individuals with intense environmental exposure or profoundly suppressed cellular immunity (e.g., in patients with AIDS) may develop a primary pneumonia with diffuse reticulonodular pulmonary process in association with dyspnea and fever.1, 3, 5Fewer than 1% of infected individuals develop extrathoracic disseminated coccidioidal infection. Common sites for dissemination include joints and bones, skin and soft tissues, and meninges. One site or multiple anatomic foci may be affected. 1, 2, 3, 7It is estimated that coccidioidal meningitis, the most lethal complication of coccidioidomycosis, affects only 0.1% of all exposed individuals. Patients with coccidioidal meningitis usually present with a persistent headache (rather than a self-limited headache in some patients with primary pulmonary infection), with nausea and vomiting, and sometimes vision change. Some may also develop altered mental status and confusion. Meningismus such as nuchal rigidity, if present, is not severe.Hydrocephalus and cerebral infarction may develop in some cases. Papilledema is more commonly observed in pediatric patients.1, 3, 4, 5, 7When meningitis develops, most patients may not have any respiratory symptoms nor radiographic manifestation of pulmonary infection. However, a large number of these individuals also present with other extrathoracic lesions.7DiagnosisAlthough early diagnosis carries obvious benefits for patients and the health care systems as a whole (e.g., decreases patient anxiety, reduces the cost of expensive and invasive tests, removes the temptation for empirical antibacterial or antiviral treatments, and allows for early detection of complications), considerable diagnostic delays up to several weeks to months are common in both endemic areas and non-endemic areas.3, 7 Most symptomatic persons with coccidioidal infection present with primarily pulmonary symptoms and are often misdiagnosed as community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and treated with antibiotics. In endemic areas like south-central Arizona, previous studies found up to 29% of community-acquired pneumonia is caused by coccidioidomycosis. Healthcare providers thus should maintain a high clinical suspicion for coccidioidomycosis when evaluating persons with pneumonia who live in or have traveled to endemic areas recently. Elevated peripheral-blood eosinophilia of over 5%, hilar or mediastinal adenopathy on chest radiography, marked fatigue, and failure to improve with antibiotic therapy should prompt suspicion and testing for infection with coccidioidomycosis in endemic areas.1, 3, 5Serological testing plays an important role in establishing a diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect IgM and IgG antibodies is highly sensitive and therefore commonly used as the screening tool. Immunodiffusion is more specific but less sensitive than enzyme immunoassay. It is used to confirm the diagnosis of positive EIA test results. Complement fixing (CF) test, which indirectly detects the presence of coccidioidal antibodies by testing the consumption of serum complement, are expressed as titers. Serial measurements of titers are of not only diagnostic but also prognostic value.1, 2, 3, 5Other methods, including culture, microscopic, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) exam on tissue or respiratory specimens, are limited by their availability, sample obtaining and handling, or lack of sufficient evaluation.1, 2, 3, 5Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination in coccidioidal meningitis usually demonstrates lymphocyte dominated elevation of leukocytes, although polymorphonuclear leukocyte dominance can also be seen in the early stage of the infection. Profound hypoglycorrhachia and elevated protein levels in CSF examination are also very common in coccidioidal meningitis.1, 7Although isolating Coccidioides from CSF or other CNS specimens are diagnostic for coccidioidal meningitis, in practice, diagnoses are often made based on the combination of clinical presentation, CSF examination that suggesting fungal infection, and positive Coccidioides antibodies found in CSF.7Imaging, especially enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can help in diagnosing coccidioidal meningitis. Basilar leptomeningeal enhancement is a more common finding even though hydrocephalus, cerebral infarction, and vertebral artery aneurysm can also be seen.7TreatmentMost patients with focal primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis do not require antifungal therapy. According to 2016 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Clinical Practice Guideline, antifungal therapy should be considered in patients with concurrent immunosuppression that adversely affect cellular immunity (e.g., organ transplant patients, AIDS in HIV-infected patients, and patients receiving anti–tumor necrosis factor therapy) and those with significantly debilitating illness, extensive pulmonary involvement, with concurrent diabetes, pregnant women, or who are otherwise frail because of age or comorbidities. Some experts would also include African or Filipino ancestry as indications for treatment. Conversely, humoral immunity comprise splenectomy, hypocomplementemia, or neutrophil dysfunction syndromes are not major risk factors for this disease.1, 2, 3, 4, 5Triazole antifungals (fluconazole or itraconazole) are currently considered as the first-line medications used to treat most cases of coccidioidomycosis. Amphotericin B is reserved for only the most severe cases of dissemination and patients with coccidioidal meningitis in whom triazole antifungal therapy has failed. It is also the choice of therapy for coccidioidomycosis in pregnant women during the first trimester because of the possible teratogenic effect of high-dose triazole therapy during this period of time.1, 3, 4, 5Treating coccidioidal meningitis (CM) poses a special challenge because untreated meningitis is nearly always fatal. Lifelong therapy is recommended for CM because the majority 80% patients with CM experience relapse when therapy is stopped despite initial response to antifungal treatment. Shunting of CSF is required in cases of meningitis complicated by hydrocephalus.1, 3, 4, 5, 7Prevention Avoidance of direct contact with contaminated soil in endemic areas (e.g., respirator use by construction workers) may reduce disease risk, although clear evidence of its benefit is lacking.1, 5Some special population groups may benefit from prophylactic use of antifungals, such as those about to undergo allogeneic solid-organ transplantation or patients with a history of active coccidioidomycosis or a positive coccidioidal serology in whom therapy with tumor necrosis factor α antagonists is being initiated. The administration of prophylactic antifungals is not recommended for HIV-1-infected patients even if they live in an endemic region.1, 5Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 164, “More than just a headache.” Dr. Song explained that a headache with an indolent course, accompanied by subacute respiratory symptoms, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, neck stiffness, and skin lesions can be secondary to Valley Fever. The Central Valley of California, as well as other areas with dry climate, are endemic and we need to keep this disease in our differential diagnosis.This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Zheng (David) Song.

For months, federal lawmakers in Washington D.C. have been at odds over reauthorizing the United States President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief–better known as PEPFAR–a U.S. initiative to address the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. The program has largely had bipartisan support on the Hill since it was first introduced in 2003 under then-President George W. Bush's administration. However, in recent months, its reauthorization has been held up by Republicans who allege the funding is being used to pay for abortions overseas, a claim PEPFAR administrators have denied. On today's episode of Gist HealthcareDaily, Washington Post national health reporter Dan Diamond joins to talk more about the current fight on Capitol Hill and how it recently came to light that $1 billion in federal funds are being withheld from the program by Republican lawmakers. Here's some of Dan's recent reporting on the issue:Republicans delay more than $1 billion in HIV program funding (Published: October 26, 2023)Lifesaving HIV program faces a new threat: U.S. abortion politics (Published: July 29, 2023) Hosted on Acast.

Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning
Brain Fact Friday on ”Neuroplasticity vs Neurogenesis: Where's the Controversy?”

Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning

"Neuroplasticity knows no bounds; it is a lifelong journey of growth, learning, and personal transformation." – Dr. Andrew Huberman whose quote we ended our last EPISODE on a “Deeper Diver into Neuroplasticity.” On today's episode we will review: ✔ Tips for regrowing our brain cells (neurogenesis) ✔ A reminder of what prevents neurogenesis and hurts our brain and what we can do to help increase neurogenesis in our brain. ✔ What's the Difference Between Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis? ✔ What's the Controversy with Neurogenesis? What's the difference between Neuroplasticity, that we covered on EPISODE #302[i] (that knows no bounds) that's defined as “the ability of the brain to form new connections and pathways and change how it's circuits are wired; (as shown so well in the Sentis YouTube video that gives us a representation of these pathways visually, and what they look like in our brain when we create NEW pathways).[ii] This we KNOW we can do throughout our lifetime, (while) neurogenesis is the even more amazing ability for the brain to grow new neurons (Bergland, 2017).[iii]  And on today's episode #303, we will take a closer look at “What Exactly IS Neurogenesis and Why is it Controversial Among Neuroscientists.”[iv] Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For today's episode #303, and in keeping with our Season Theme of Going Back to the Basics, to take our learning to new heights, I'm going back to EPISODE #141[v] on “Neurogenesis: What Helps or Hurts our Brain Cells” because it became clear to me that while researching for our last episode that Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis are closely connected, but the former is widely accepted, while the latter holds some controversy. In our first episode on neurogenesis, we looked at: ✔ Tips for regrowing our brain cells (neurogenesis) ✔ A reminder of what prevents neurogenesis and hurts our brain and what we can do to help increase neurogenesis in our brain. Dr. Andrew Huberman on Neurogenesis While researching Dr. Huberman's work last week on neuroplasticity, he mentioned that there was “bad news” with “neurogenesis” and that many people think that they can exercise and add “new neurons” in the brain and “that after age 14, the human nervous system adds few new neurons.”[vi] He said that “in rodents neurogenesis could occur but in humans it was less obvious” and “that while we can't add new neurons, we can change our nervous system”[vii] and dives deeper into the definition of neuroplasticity and why this holds no bounds. Now I'm starting to see the controversy in this topic, as I went back to my first look at Neurogenesis. Dr. David Perlmutter (a board-certified neurologist) on Neurogenesis and Dr. John Ratey, the author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain To open up EP 141 from June 2021, I quoted Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author who said “the best way to increase neurogenesis (regrow your brain cells) is “when your body produces more BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor” (Dr. David Perlmutter) and we covered this topic deeply on EP 274[viii] “What New With BDNF: Building a Faster, Stronger and More Resilient Brain.” I even remember Dr. John Ratey[ix] the author of the book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain said that BDNF was like “Miracle-Gro for the brain” (you can't forget some of the things some people say over the years and he cites a paper where he talked about how brain cells “do grow back in the hippocampus (and that in the study he sited), they saw while looking at the brains of terminally ill patients who had donated their body to science (Cancer patients who had been injected with a dye that shows up in proliferating cells so that the spread of the disease could be tracked) found their hippocampi were packed with dye marker, proof that the neurons were dividing and propagating—a process called neurogenesis.”[x] (Page 48, Spark) Dr. Ratey's book Spark, talks about “how to kick-start neurogenesis” and where the research began, causing me to think back to Dr. Perlmutter's website where he mentioned that BDNF causes neurogenesis or new cells to form in our brain. He cites the studies that show how “exercise training increases the size of the hippocampus and improves memory” exactly what Dr. Ratey saw that made such a huge difference with those students he worked with at Naperville High School. Dr. Perlmutter's video talks about the study that showed that after 1 year of aerobic exercise, “exercisers had a marked increase in BDNF, and they showed substantial improvement in memory function.”[xi]    Then I found another video I watched in our last episode from Sandrine Thuret called “It's Possible to Grow New Brain Cells” where she said that “we produce 700 new neurons a day in the hippocampus”[xii] Sandrine Thuret's TED TALK lists many ways you can grow new brain cells (the highlighted words) with intermittent fasting, flavonoids (found in dark chocolate) and caffeine being a few evidence-based strategies. Conversely, she mentions a diet high in saturated fat, sugar or ethanol, will have a negative impact on neurogenesis. She even showed a study (from Praag, Kepermann and Gage) where rats who were runners shows an increase in neurogenesis vs the control group who were non-runners that Dr. Ratey talks about in his book Spark. What Does This All Mean? Where's the Controversy? Neuroplasticity vs Neurogenesis To review and conclude this episode on “Diving Deeper into Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis” I think we've got a clear picture of how neuroplasticity works from our last episode, (by making a conscious effort to build new neural pathways in our brain when we learn something new) but the topic of how we can grow new neurons seems to be where the controversy exists. It seems like this is only possible in the hippocampus but I still do wonder why a neurologist like Dr. Perlmutter says neurogenesis is possible through exercise[xiii], while another respected neuroscientist's stance is that “in humans this is less obvious.”[xiv]  This is where the deep learning comes into our study, and being open to what we might uncover here. If we aren't continually questioning what we are learning, then we aren't thinking at all. Mark Waldman's AHA Moment: What Neuroplasticity Is and Isn't While thinking about why neurogenesis is “less obvious” in humans, as it might be in rodents, like Sandrine Thuret's TED TALK covered, and even Dr. Ratey took the same rodent study and made a comparison to the students at Naperville whose test scores improved after running. Then I remembered my mentor Mark Waldman made me think deeply about this when he wrote about “What Neuroplasticity Is and Isn't”[xv] where he explained an article “Adult Neurogenesis in Humans”[xvi] that ended up being my AHA Moment of learning here. He said to “imagine the brain as a city map, and instead of there being 214 streets in Manhattan, imagine that it had a million streets! No room for buildings, just streets winding and weaving east to west, north to south, up and down and diagonal, all woven together like a giant hairball. Each city is a brain function – vision, movement, memory, imagination, feelings, etc. – and the entire state of New York would have cities upon cities woven together on top and alongside each other. Those billions of roads have trillions of cul-de-sacs which are the synapses. Can you visualize that? Below is an actual slice of a thousandth of a millimeter of mouse brain: Everything is jam packed but you the traveler can decide which road or neural pathway to take in order to reach a specific destination to help you perform some action of achieve a particular goal. The fastest your brain can process information is about 60 bits per second, and he guesses that any cognitive function would be traveling around 2,000 miles per hour down those roadways in your brain! Now we can ACCURATELY visualize what plasticity looks like in the adult human brain a bit deeper than what we first looked at the Sentis YouTube with the connections in our brain this way. This was my FIRST look at neuroplasticity, and this video came out 10 years ago. Look at the difference with this image that came from the research paper Mark Waldman read on “Adult Neurogenesis in Humans” that changed his thinking about neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. He said “the roads/neurons don't change but the tiny exits that lead you to another neuron can slowly move to a different synapse, similar to how switch-ways work on a railroad track. That's where synaptic plasticity takes place and that's what happens when you learn something new: You're beginning to find new pathways that create different decisions and behaviors. Waldman went on to point out some main take-aways from this Paper on Neuroplasticity but the ones I want to mention are that   “This kind of plasticity does not add or replace neurons.” “the exception is a process called “adult neurogenesis” conferred by active stem cell niches…in restricted regions [olfactory bulb & hippocampus]” (Confirmed by Dr. Huberman's research)[xvii] “After 60 years of intense research and more than 10,000 peer-reviewed publications, we still do not know if our brain maintains such capability.” Synaptic changes are very slow, involved with learning and brain repair. Stem cell-driven “adult neurogenesis” is still far in the future. ------------ La Rosa C, Parolisi R, Bonfanti L. Brain Structural Plasticity: From Adult Neurogenesis to Immature Neurons. Front Neurosci. 2020 Feb 4;14:75. Review and Conclusion: Neuroplasticity vs Neurogenesis: Uncovering the Controversy So now I've opened up a bit more as to “WHY” this topic holds controversy among neuroscientists, and I think while this is a good start at explaining how Neuroplasticity is different than Neurogenesis, I do want to leave this topic open, to come back to at a later date, and see what else we can add to our understanding In the meantime, I'll continue to read, learn and think of how this learning can apply to our daily life.  While researching this topic, I found an article I like called What is Neuroplasticity[xviii] written just this past April 2023. It explains neuroplasticity thoroughly, and how it applies to learning, a growth mindset, and how it changes as we age. It covers neuroplasticity and how it can help with anxiety, which made me think back to when we changed our brain with Dr. Caroline Leaf's 5 Step Process for Cleaning Up Our Mental Mess on EP #299.[xix] It even covers neuroplasticity exercises for treating chronic pain that took me back to our interview with Ashok Gupta[xx] a well-known brain-training neuroplasticity expert who taught us how to use our brain and mind to manage chronic pain and illness. At the end of this article there are YouTube videos from many of the experts we've covered on this podcast like Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and books from Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Norman Doidge. But what was missing, was more about Neurogenesis and how we can change actually change our brain, not just re-wire the pathways in it, there were a bunch of quotes at the end of this article but they were all about neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity Quotes Among other things, neuroplasticity means that emotions such as happiness and compassion can be cultivated in much the same way that a person can learn through repetition to play golf and basketball or master a musical instrument, and that such practice changes the activity and physical aspects of specific brain areas.--Andrew Weil Because of the power of neuroplasticity, you can, in fact, reframe your world and rewire your brain so that you are more objective. You have the power to see things as they are so that you can respond thoughtfully, deliberately, and effectively to everything you experience.--Elizabeth Thornton Any man could, if he were so inclined, be the sculptor of his own brain.--Santiago Ramón y Cajal Meditation invokes that which is known in neuroscience as neuroplasticity; which is the loosening of the old nerve cells or hardwiring in the brain, to make space for the new to emerge.--Craig Krishna Everything having to do with human training and education has to be re-examined in light of neuroplasticity.--Norman Doidge Neurons that fire together wire together.--Donald O. Hebb (Dr. Huberman would say this came from Carla Shatz) Brains are tricky and adaptable organs. For all the ‘neuroplasticity' allowing our brains to reconfigure themselves to the biases of our computers, we are just as neuroplastic in our ability to eventually recover and adapt.--Douglas Rushkoff Our brains renew themselves throughout life to an extent previously thought not possible.--Michael S. Gazzaniga Our minds have the incredible capacity to both alter the strength of connections among neurons, essentially rewiring them, and create entirely new pathways. (It makes a computer, which cannot create new hardware when its system crashes, seem fixed and helpless).--Susannah Cahalan Where are the quotes for Neurogenesis? Like the quote I found from Dr. Perlmutter who said “We can regrow brain cells and retain this ability throughout our entire lifetime.” Is this only possible in our hippocampus? Or will science someday reveal that adult neurogenesis is possible like what Mark Walman mentioned with stem-cell adult neurogenesis that he thinks is far in the future? Until we know for sure, I'm going to stick with doing what I know helps my brain according to Dr. Perlmutter's work, and Sandrine Thuret's TEDTALK where she says by doing certain things like the words she's highlighted in her graphic, we can create neurogenesis that's important for learning and memory, and I'll avoid the non-highlighted words that she says prevents neurogenesis. And I'll come back to this episode at a future date to see what else we can add to accelerate our understanding of “Neuroplasticity vs Neurogenesis.” With that thought, I hope this episode has made you think deeper about your brain, especially when it comes to making choices that we know can improve our ability to build a stronger, more resilient brain by doing what helps it (and our brain cells) instead of what hurts it, and I'll see you next week.   REFERENCES:   [i] https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/brain-fact-friday-and-a-deeper-dive-into-applying-neuroplasticity-to-learn-something-new/ [ii] Neuroplasticity Published on YouTube November 6, 2012  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELpfYCZa87g [iii] What is Neuroplasticity: A Psychologist Explains [14+ Tools] by Courtney E Ackerman, MA, Published July 25, 2018, Scientifically reviewed by Melissa Madeson, Ph.D. https://positivepsychology.com/neuroplasticity/#google_vignette [iv] Adult Neurogenesis in Human: A Review of Basic Concepts, History, Current Research, and Clinical Implications Published May 1, 2019 by Ashutosh Kumar, MD. et al.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6659986/ [v] https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/brain-fact-friday-on-neurogenesis-what-hurts-or-helps-your-brain-cells/ [vi] Dr. Andrew Huberman Lab Podcast EPISODE #6 “How to Focus to Change Your Brain” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG53Vxum0as [vii] IBID [viii] https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/brain-fact-friday-what-s-new-with-bdnf-building-a-faster-stronger-more-resilient-brain/ [ix] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE#116 with Dr. John Ratey on “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/best-selling-author-john-j-ratey-md-on-the-revolutionary-new-science-of-exercise-and-the-brain/ [x] Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain by John J.

Advancing Our Church

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 30, 2023 49:56


Published: July 28, 2019 This week we focus on Catholic Stewardship and ways leaders can educate and engage the time, talent, and resources of the faithful. Our guest is David Baranowski, the Director of Stewardship Education in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Dave is a 30-year marketing executive recruited by the Archdiocese over seven years ago to develop educational and marketing materials to support the stewardship efforts of their 182 parishes. In David's words, “Our goal is to help more people get to Heaven.” David Baranowski is a frequent speaker at the International Catholic Stewardship Conference. During our interview, David shares his unique conversion experience, which sparked his career change. In 2007, Baranowski attended a retreat where the director encouraged participants to listen to God's guidance — something he said he hadn't earnestly done before. The experience convinced him to deepen his faith and focus on Christ. While praying about God's gifts in his life, “this wave of gratitude rushed over me,” Baranowski said. “It was at that moment that I decided that I wanted to get to heaven, and I want to take as many people with me as possible. My priorities had to change. I had to put God first in everything I did, and I had to put complete trust in God.” This episode focuses on how we look at parish Stewardship and how we should consider challenging some of the traditional ways in which we describe it for others. For example, instead of referring to “time, talent and treasure,” Dave uses the terms “prayer, participation and generosity.”  Dave hopes to use more accessible language that parishioners can understand. If you have any questions for Dave, please feel free to contact his office by clicking here. We hope you find this discussion beneficial. We encourage you to like, share and comment on this episode, and we hope it will inspire your parish Stewardship Committees to advance the mission of our Church in the coming program year. If you have any other questions about Catholic Stewardship, we encourage you to contact Jim Friend.

Have you ever heard of Senolytics?[i] It's the latest breakthrough in aging and longevity science that I honestly had not heard about until I had an email about our next guest, whose work I'm very familiar with. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/poThU96sslU   I'm a huge fan of Neurohacker Collective (that was founded in 2015 with a mission of creating best-in-class well-being products) and I've been following their work for years to learn anything and everything possible about bio-hacking. We even quoted Heather Sandison (a medical advisor and podcast host with Neurohacker Collective) on our HRV EPISODE. [ii] One quick look at their ABOUT US[iii] section on their website, and I saw many of the leaders, innovators in health, longevity and wellness around the world, and quite a few who we have interviewed, like Dr. Anna Lembke from EPISODE #162[iv], Dr. Stickler from EPISODE #96[v] and Dr. Vuyisich from EPISODE #93[vi] and in their Collective Insight Section you'll see many names we quote often, like Dr. Andrew Huberman, Deepak Chopra, Dale Bredesen, David Rabin, Bruce Lipton, Michael Gelb, Jim Kwik…I could go on and on here. These are the leaders and innovators in the field of health, wellness and bio-hacking. This is going to be a phenomenal episode! And with that, I want to welcome you 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 #285, we will be speaking with Dr. Gregory Kelly, the Director of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective[vii], a naturopathic physician (N.D.), and the author of the book Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution[viii] that's all about getting healthy while creating your ideal shape. As I was researching for this episode, I couldn't help thinking “how on the earth did I miss this topic of senolytics?” since I'm always looking for anything new when it comes to productivity, health and wellness hacks. While preparing for this episode, the Neurohacker Collective Team was extremely helpful. Tina Gammon, their Marketing Manager, sent me the trio package of Qualia Senolytic for (Vision, Night and Mind) and I'll be sharing the IMMEDIATE results I felt with the Night and Mind products, with a level of clarity I've never felt before.  I haven't tried the VISION one yet but have lots of questions to ask Dr. Kelly about today. So, hang tight, because on today's science-packed episode, we'll dive deep into this cutting edge topic, with the latest anti-aging research where we will cover: What is cellular senescence? What are the "Hallmarks of Aging" and why is cellular senescence an important hallmark? The difference between cellular senescence and autophagy (with a quick review of 9th grade science mitosis). Classical places where senescent cells take hold in the body. The science to support senolytics from Mayo Clinic and Scripps Institute. How do senolytics work? The correct way to dose senolytics. What makes Qualia Senolytic a groundbreaking supplement in the longevity space? A bit first about Dr. Kelly.   He has extensive experience in both natural medicine and nutrition, and has been an influential figure in this field. He has served as the editor of the journal Alternative Medicine Review and taught Advanced Clinical Nutrition, Counseling Skills, and Doctor-Patient Relationships at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Kelly has also published hundreds of articles on natural medicine and nutrition, contributed three chapters to the Textbook of Natural Medicine, and has over 30 journal articles indexed on Pubmed. His areas of expertise include nootropics, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, weight management, sleep, and the chronobiology of performance and health. Additionally, he has helped develop several rare and powerful compounds that have scientifically shown senolytic activity, and which have a wider range of mechanisms than existing senolytic supplements available. Before I get lost in my words on this topic, let's meet Dr. Gregory Kelly, and see what we can learn today to open our eyes to something new in this ever-changing field of science, health and longevity. Welcome Dr. Kelly. Thank you for being here on a Friday night. I'm curious with your background, what would you typically be doing on a Friday night (I imagine hanging out with Dr. Stickler and perhaps Dr. Andrew Huberman) talking about what you can create with the latest neuroscience research. Dr. Huberman advising you on your vision products, and Dr. Stickler, with a stack of tools for peak performance to investigate…is this what a typical Friday night would look like for you? INTRO Q: Dr. Kelly, I watched your interview with Dave Asprey, because he's been promoting your new Qualia product that we will be talking about today, all over the place, so I had to see what he asked you when he interviewed you (because he's such a creative mind).  I loved how he asked you about why you called your company Neurohacker Collective! What a great question. Can you share the answer again for our audience, as it's fitting for our podcast? Q1: Can we start with the basics?  What is cellular senescence and can you explain it from the 2 angles-the Zombie explanation for the movie experts who tune into the podcast vs the gardener analogy? 1B: How do we know we have senescent cells? Is it like inflammation? Q1C: We've talked about the concept of using exercise to prevent the shortening of telomeres on this podcast, but can you orient us with this idea and how it came into the evolution of aging? Q2: Our podcast took a turn towards health and wellness during the pandemic and we picked 5 health staples to dive deep into. You can see a couple of people from your organization that we've had on the podcast and many others we quote. Can you look at the list I've chosen, and tell me what I'm missing if we were to compare them to the "Hallmarks of Aging?" that you've uncovered? Q3: What's the difference between cellular senescence and autophagy (with a quick review of 9th grade science/mitosis here) and what we should expect healthy cells to do in our body vs the ones that give us trouble? Q4: What are some places where senescent cells take hold in the body? What about the science that supports senolytics from Mayo Clinic and Scripps Institute? What should we know? How do senolytics work? Q5: Andrea's vitamin story-I've got to also ask about the difference between taking vitamins that remove free radicals. It's not easy to see what's going on in the body. How would this be similar/different? Q6: What's the correct way to dose senolytics?  I loved that Dave Asprey was looking for a way to bio-hack what you've invented and perhaps take senolytics once a decade of something. Will this ever be a possibility? Q7:  I've got to give a huge shout out to Tina Gammon, on your Marketing Team, as she made sure I was sent all 3 of your Qualia Senolytics (for Vision, Night and Mind). I tried the NIGHT one for optimized sleep, and now I'm someone who measures everything and sleep is one of my weakest links, but I had the craziest, most vivid dreams and definitely felt recharged when I woke up. I took the MIND one before my day began, and I'm someone who also logs my levels of CLARITY on a weekly basis (Brendon Burchard would like this done daily) but I did notice an usual surge of clarity. Is this something you've heard of before? Is it usual to notice something like I did the VERY next day? What do most people notice? What about the VISION one? Did you consult with Dr. Huberman with his expertise here on Ophthalmology? I wear contacts and am finally ready for laser eye surgery…should I hold off on using this one till I finish messing around with my eyesight? Q8: What makes Qualia Senolytic a groundbreaking supplement in the longevity space? Q9: As we wrap up and close out this episode, what's one thing that you hope our listeners will take away from this episode on your work over the years, senolytic cells, Neurohacker Collective, and what we can do to optimize our health and longevity at the cellular level? Thank you, Dr. Kelly, for coming on the podcast. I was so excited to meet you, dive deeper into this topic and think about how I'm going to implement this ground-breaking product into my day.  For people who want to try your Qualia Senolytics, I was thrilled to see that your team created an affiliate link and coupon code for our audience:    CLICK ON THE LINK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY QUALIA SENOLYTICS https://neurohacker.com/shop/qualia-senolytic?rfsn=7305328.843217 Code: NEUROSCIENCE (good for 15% off purchase). Is there one product that you recommend plain Qualia Senolytic vs the specific versions I have for VISION, MIND and NIGHT? Thank you again for your time on a Friday night.
