Trigger warning: Mental Health   Welcome to Episode 117. Compassion Focussed Therapy with Dr Stan Steindl   When we think of compassion, most of us could probably say that we have compassion for others. We're able to recognise the suffering in others, and take steps to help alleviate that suffering.    But when it comes to self-compassion, we can sometimes let ourselves down. We can be self-critical, and get stuck in a loop of negative thought cycles that never seem to end. And for men… the thought of being self-compassionate can seem unnatural. But there is strength and courage and self-compassion; and this can be learned through Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT).    Dr Stan Steindl joins me this week to explore CFT and how it can support men to become the best version of themselves. Stan is a Clinical psychologist in private practice at Psychology Consultants Pty Ltd, and an adjunct professor at the university of Queensland School of Psychology. He is also a TedX speaker, and host of Compassion in a T-Shirt. In the full episode Stan shares:  What compassion is and why it is important How he defines trauma and suffering  Why men avoid self-compassion What Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) is  Supporting men to increase their self-compassion 4 little steps to start practicing self-compassion   Key quotes   "Compassion is a sensitivity to suffering in self and others with a commitment to try and alleviate and prevent it”   "Often self-compassion is the tougher choice in the service of health and wellbeing”   “Often men can baulk at the idea of self-compassion because they think its self-pity"   Connect with Stan: Website: www.stansteindl.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCujCvGkc_TFF7KmA0Sk4E7A Private Practice: www.psychologyconsultants.com.au    Connect with Mindful Men Website at www.mindful-men.com.au Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2050441875316594 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindful.men.aus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindful.men.aus/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-rinne-246207247/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mindful.men.aus Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXBNQmbj4ZQj3rzFAZALTA   ***If anything triggers you from today's episode, please reach out to your support networks or seek professional help***   Stay Mindful, Simon --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mindfulmen/message

High school can be a stressful time in a child's life. One school in Australia's Queensland state is joining a growing trend in offering mindfulness classes to help. Teachers say they're being proactive in supporting students' emotional health. Lunchtime may have finished in Townsville High School, but students aren't going back to class just yet. Every week, for the whole of last year, these students practiced mindfulness to quieten their minds in a busy environment. “Overwhelmed, anxiety, digital addiction, it is affecting the wellbeing of our next generation,” says Jasmine Healy-Pagan of Youth RESET. Using techniques such as meditation, subtle movements, and deep breathing, the Youth RESET program focuses on giving students the tools to become more resilient. “75 percent of people who struggle with mental health, this has begun under the age of 25. It's essential today more than ever before that we are proactive in the mental and emotional health of our next generation,” adds Healy-Pagan. Teachers say they have noticed students being more attentive and have seen behavior improve. “What we are finding is a much more settled start to the lessons and also just students interacting with each other in a much more positive way which is then de-escalating classrooms and allowing more learning to happen,” adds Bri Clancy of Thuringowa State High School. Most education professionals agree that the impact of trauma on social cohesion and behavior in classrooms is negative. A lot of schools are now taking this issue into account in their daily practices, but experts say more should be done. “Trauma-informed practice helps young people learn how to self-regulate and helps them feel safe and supported in the classroom,” says Dr. Tanya Doyle of James Cook University. And for students, the effects are clearly positive. “It's made me relaxed, calm, and not stressed a lot,” says one male student. “I feel less anxious in the bones, in the body, in the mind,” adds one female student.

Earlier this week we heard the news that Australia had recorded another case of an athlete suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The thing that made this case unique was that it was a female athlete that was diagnosed.  The story of Adelaide Crows AFLW Premiership player Heather Anderson has a tragic ending, but could her death start a conversation that has so far only focussed on men in sport?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what this landmark case means for women in sport and if there's anything we can do to protect us from damaging our brains when we're enjoying the sports we love.  Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide which may be distressing or triggering for some individuals.

Much of Australia has been ravaged by floods this year, with some towns almost virtually wiped out. To make matters worse, many residents were unable to afford the soaring insurance costs, and have been left with nothing. As rising costs associated with climate change are making more and more homes uninsurable nation-wide, we ask how we can protect Australians when insurance companies no longer will?  Featured: Professor Paula Jarzabkowski, University of Queensland School of Business.

Resveratrol supplementation associated with improved glucose regulation in diabetics   National University of Medical Sciences (Pakistan) March 30 2022.    The June 2022 issue of Complementary Therapies in Medicine reported findings from a randomized trial that uncovered positive effects for supplementing with resveratrol in the regulation of glucose and the maintenance of healthy levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetics. The trial included men and women who were being treated with orally administered drugs for type 2 diabetes.  Forty-five participants received 200 milligrams resveratrol per day and 46 received a daily placebo for 24 weeks. Blood samples collected at the beginning and end of the trial were analyzed for plasma glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1c (a marker of long-term glucose control), lipids, malondialdehyde (a marker of oxidative stress), circulatory microRNAs associated with diabetes, and markers of inflammation that included tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).   (NEXT)   Eating peanuts may lead to supple arteries and healthy hearts   Pennsylvania State University, March 29, 2022   Eating peanuts with a meal may help protect against cardiovascular diseases which can lead to heart attacks and stroke, according to an international team of researchers. In the study, overweight and obese but otherwise healthy men who ate about three ounces of peanuts with a high-fat meal had a blunted increase of lipids in their bloodstream. According to the researchers eating peanuts can keep the cells that line the arteries healthy, helping them stay more elastic. The researchers showed that when peanuts are eaten with a meal the typical post-meal increase of triglycerides -- a type of fat found in the bloodstream -- is blunted. According to the researchers, there was a 32 percent reduction in the triglyceride levels after the consumption of the peanut meal compared to the control group. Three ounces of peanuts is about three times the amount of an average serving size, according to the researchers.   (NEXT)   NIH Study confirms: Turkey Tail mushrooms boost immunity in women with breast cancer   University of Minnesota and Bastyr University, March 28, 2022   Turkey Tail mushrooms can boost your immune system so significantly that it may even shrink breast cancer tumors. A $2 million, seven-year clinical study funded by the National Institutes of Health and jointly conducted by the University of Minnesota and Bastyr University showed that Trametes versicolor, or turkey tail mushroom, in freeze-dried form, dramatically boosts immune function for women with Stage I-III breast cancer─ possibly shrinking tumors. One theory is that when patients ingest Turkey Tail mycelium, the immune system's increased populations of NK cells and their associated CD8 glycoproteins are better able to discover and bind to receptor sites on the stroma of tumors, thus allowing NK invasion. If true, then the use of this medicinal mushroom as an adjunct or preventative therapy may help many patients better fight the battle when challenged with tumor-forming cancers.”   (NEXT)   Too Much Screen Time is Really Bad for Teen Well-Being   University of Queensland School of Health, March 31, 2022    Whether it's watching TV or playing games, teens experience serious physical and mental health consequences after just two hours of screen time, according to new research The global study of more than 400,000 adolescents is the first to provide evidence that both passive and mentally active screen time adversely affects teens' mental well-being. Teens are more likely to report psychosomatic symptoms, a combination of physical and psychological complaints, if they exceed two hours of screen time and these effects were similar regardless of physical activity levels. Psychological complaints from teens included feeling low, irritable, nervousness, and sleeping difficulty, and somatic complaints included headaches, abdominal pain, backache, and dizziness.   Guest: Jessica Rose Part 2

More than 6800 drivers have been stung for speeding through school zones in Queensland in just the first six months of this year, with 57 recording speeds more than 30 kilometres over the limit. Queensland mothers are pretending to have dinner so their kids can eat in a shocking poverty crisis that is deepening due to rent assistance covering only one quarter of the actual rent bill. The annual cost of child care has risen by up to $1000 in some parts of Queensland in the year since March 2020, with even parts of central Queensland copping big price hikes. And a Middlemount man attacked by a shark during a Whitsundays buck's weekend has compared the ordeal to being bitten by the family cat.

In this episode, Dr Eve Massingham talks with Dr Simon McKenzie to talk about how some of the fundamental categories of IHL are challenged by cyber operations. In particular, the concepts of ‘objects' and ‘attacks', with their apparent focus on physicality, are hard to fit with the intangible elements of cyberspace. They explore this issue by considering whether ‘data' can be thought of as an object for the purposes of IHL, and why is important. Simon McKenzie is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland School of Law. Simon's current research focuses on the legal challenges connected with the defence and security applications of science and technology, with a particular focus on the impact of autonomous systems.

Are you thinking about having Rhinoplasty surgery? Wondering what having a nose job is all about? Listen to our latest episode on the TransformingBodies Podcast with Dr Raymond Goh, Specialist Plastic Surgeon at Valley Plastic Surgery in Brisbane, as he talks about Rhinoplasty.Dr Ray Goh completed his medical studies and graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland School of Medicine. Dr Goh is an active member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the Australian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the International Confederation for Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS), the Queensland Hand Surgery Society (QHSS), and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).One of his areas of special interest and expertise is rhinoplasty- there’s more that lies underneath the surface of the nose. How the nose appears on the outside is the most important factor to be considered in rhinoplasty and sometimes to get to that goal, there’s a lot that has to be done to the structural framework of the nose.

1944 research determined that Greenland Eskimos, who despite a diet high in fat, had a lower incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) – specifically due to the type of fat found in their diet, which was high in fish (seal & whale), despite a low in consumption of fruits and vegetables.It was determined that the coronary heart disease risk reduction in the Eskimos was due, in part, to a high intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in their fish selections, that confer benefits of a reduction in high-risk triglycerides (TG), anti-inflammatory and anti—arrhythmic effects, vasodilation, reduced blood pressure, improved arterial and endothelial function, favorable autonomic tone, and reduced platelet aggregation.According to “An Update on Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Health”, which appeared in the January 2021 online, peer-reviewed journal Nutrients, “TG levels are a historically well-studied, independent risk factor for CHD. Ω-3 (omega-3) or fish oil diet supplementation is evidenced to lower TG levels in a dose-dependent fashion, whereby 3–4 g/day of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or a combined EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) reduces blood levels by 20–50% in those with high TG’s.”I had the distinct pleasure to work with and learn from one of the study authors, Carl J. Lavie, MD, Department of Cardiovascular Diseases, John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute, Ochsner Clinic School, The University of Queensland School of Medicine in New Orleans, during my prior tenure, as the Director of Health and Fitness for Lavie’s institute.To this date, Lavie still provides interpretation of cardiovascular testing for my diverse client population.In their review of the omega-3 history and research, Lavie and his study colleagues note prior controversies over the purported omega-3 benefits taken from popular media, “which wrongly suggested that Ω-3 ingestion, including that from fish, increased prostate cancer risk, with many commentaries thereafter advising against the use of supplemental fish oil.”On the contrary, the study investigators comment that, “habitual high intake of fish and seafood in men, who have prostate cancer, however, has been linked to significantly improved survival. Accordingly, Japanese men, who consume approximately 8 times more fish than their American counterparts, have a rate of prostate cancer mortality many-fold lower.”It was further noted by the investigators that in 2018, three large trials added to the omega-3 controversy.The ASCEND trial determined that there was no reduction in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, when 1 gram per day of EPA plus DHA was used for primary prevention in patients with diabetes. “There was no significantly lowered incidence of serious vascular events in 15,480 patients after mean 7.4 years of follow up.”However, comment the study authors, “there was a statistically significant 18% relative risk reduction in vascular death, defined as death from CHD, stroke or other vascular causes, which seems to be a meaningful endpoint that was not emphasized in this paper.”In the VITAL trial, which administered 2000 IU/day vitamin D3 and 1 gram/day Ω-3 (EPA + DHA) for primary prevention of CVD and cancer in 25,871 patients, there was no difference between the intervention and placebo groups at a median of 5.3 years.Read the rest on maxwellnutrition.com.

In this episode, Dr Simon McKenzie talks with Dr Tim McFarland about autonomy in weapons systems: what it is, why it is important, and how it should be understood for the purpose of the law of armed conflict. They talk about the meaning of 'autonomy', and how the concept is used in the context of weapons systems, and what gets lost in debate about their morality and legality. They also discuss some of the legal principles that are particularly important, including distinction, proportionality and the obligation to take precautions.  Dr Tim McFarland is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland School of Law. His current research focuses on the legal challenges connected with the defence and security applications of science and technology, with a particular focus on the impact of autonomous systems. His broader research interests include the law of armed conflict and international criminal law. He is the author of Autonomous Weapon Systems and the Law of Armed Conflict (Cambridge University Press, 2020). For further readings, a basic primer on autonomy and autonomous weapons systems, and links to some further resources, are available on our website.  

Dr. Jakob Begun is a professor at the University of Queensland School of Medicine where he runs a research lab, as well as a practicing gastroenterologist at the Mater Hospital where he runs an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinic. In this episode, you will learn: What the important distinctions are between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) Why identifying microbial diversity in the gut isn't sufficient to understand how individual communities of microbes might be interacting or affecting the host, and how Begun's research aims to address this What conditions fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can be used for and how it may stack up against pharmaceuticals as a treatment for certain conditions What factors may be at play in the development of early immunity You have approximately 10 pounds of bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract at this very moment. What is the role and function of these bacteria? How many species exist, and how do they interact with one another? How does the immune system come to tolerate these bacteria…or do they? These are just a few of the questions discussed by Dr. Begun on today's show. Dr. Begun has a particular interest in understanding the interplay between the gut microbiome and the immune system, and specifically how the bacteria in our gut can influence inflammation in our body. He points to the rising incidence of IBD alongside industrialization as a motivating factor for understanding what's really at play. He argues that in order to develop a better understanding, it is necessary to understand the function of individual bacteria within the gut, rather than an overview of the types and quantity of species present. This approach will allow for the determination of which chemicals are being produced by which bacteria in the gut, which may lead to an understanding of whether those chemicals promote or suppress inflammatory responses. He describes the technique employed in his lab for studying this, and how he believes this research could shape the future of clinical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and many other immune-mediated diseases, which are also increasing at unprecedented rates around the world.

Motivational Interviewing My interview with Dr Stan Steindl, discussing Motivational interviewing. Not sure what that entails, me neither however after chatting with Stan I am much clear on what it all means. Stan outlines a simple process that is clear to understand and not only beneficial in helping others with behavioural change but perhaps also ourselves. I thoroughly enjoyed the insights, perspectives and techniques that were shared. Guest Bio Stan is a Clinical Psychologist and Director at Psychology Consultants Pty Ltd, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at University of Queensland School of Psychology. He is co-director of the UQ Compassionate Mind Research Group. He has over 20 years experience as a therapist, supervisor and trainer, including motivational interviewing training since 2007. His research interests are in the areas of motivation and compassion, and the role of cultivating a compassionate motivation in the context of trauma, shame, self-criticism and clinical disorders, and promoting psychological wellbeing.

Part 1 - Cholesterol and CVD risk, Lipid "hypothesis" - is it still a hypothesis? Cholesterol physiology, Measuring sub-fractions and receptor ratios - is there a point? Reducing cholesterol LDL and CVD risk with medication statins, ezetemide and lifestyle, Measuring fasting vs non fasting cholesterol, Cholesterol relevance in age - is it a risk or protective factor? Do statins reduce risk regardless of cholesterol? Part 2 - CVD risk assessment and treatment, Risk assessment and importance of using overall risk instead of single factors, Calcium score scan use, Risk calculation in those >75 years, Risk assessment and treatment options including mediterranean diet, exercise, mental health, social isolation, even owning dogs versus cats!
