As November marks Responsible Gambling Month, concerns have been raised about how some South Africans are using gambling as a means to supplement their income. With unemployment at record highs and an ever-escalating cost of living, financial services provider, JustMoney is taking the opportunity to shine a light on the risks of gambling as a means for cash-strapped South Africans to make extra money. This was evident in a recent survey by JustMoney, which found that 3% of survey respondents chose online gambling over a popular cost-cutting option. The survey also found that those taking home less than R5,000 a month, are four times more likely to choose online gambling, with men twice as likely as women to opt for this. For more on this, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Head of Customer Experience at JustMoney, Sarah Nicholson

As we age, we can develop a higher risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It may even run in our families for some of us. But hope is not lost: About half of dementia cases are potentially preventable. Host Cristina Quinn walks us through the U.S. POINTER study led by Laura Baker, professor of gerontology and geriatrics at Wake Forest School of Medicine. This study is considered the largest clinical trial examining how simple lifestyle changes like eating healthier, staying socially engaged and moving more can slow down cognitive decline. Cristina also speaks with neurologist Monica Parker from Emory University School of Medicine. Read more about Baker's work with the U.S. POINTER study here.

Most of us will never have our insulin levels tested, yet this single hormone is the body's master regulator of energy. When it stops working properly, almost every system in the body is affected, from how we store fat, to how we age. Today's guest is Dr Ben Bikman, a scientist and world-leading expert on insulin and metabolism. He's a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University (BYU) and has spent years researching how changes inside our cells lead to common metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world and is the author of 2 books, Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. In this conversation, we discuss: Why insulin is the body's “master hormone”, guiding how we store and use energy and how resistance to it can cause a wide range of chronic health problems. The fact that almost 9 in 10 adults show signs of poor metabolic health, and why this is a global issue that affects countries far beyond the United States. How ethnicity and genetics shape the way we store fat, explaining why two people of the same weight and size can face very different risks of conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Why focusing only on blood glucose misses the early warning signs of poor metabolic health, and why measuring insulin levels offers a clearer and earlier picture of risk. The visible clues your body may already be giving you – such as skin tags or darker, velvety patches of skin around the neck or armpits – that can indicate chronically elevated insulin. Practical strategies to bring insulin down, from reducing refined sugars and starches to spacing out meals and experimenting with fasting in ways that work for both men and women. So often, we're told that chronic illnesses are inevitable or a natural part of ageing. But as Ben explains, many of these conditions have a common origin – and by focusing on insulin resistance, we can take powerful steps towards prevention and even reversal. This conversation is not about fear, but empowerment. It's a reminder that our everyday choices – how and what we eat, how we move, and how often we give our bodies a rest from food – can profoundly influence our future health.

Dr Bill Harris is as internationally recognised expert on the omega 3 and heart disease, which make him one of the best people in the world to have this conversation with. Omega 3's are not often considered on a normal blood panel but I think there is a strong case as to why they should be. There is a reason why many countries across the world recommend multiple servings of oily fish per week and that is primarily due to their omega 3 content. From cardiovascular health, to brain health, to reducing systemic inflammation, omega 3's at the right dose and levels seem to have a range of potential benefits. Bill kindly humoured my respectful challenge on the omega 3: omega 6 ratio debate. A highly contested topic on the internet today. In this fascinating conversation we touch upon: How omega 3s can enhance your healthspam The optimal dose and blood levels of omega 3 The role of omega 3s in human health and heart disease Deciphering the omega 3: omega 6 ratio debate The best sources of omega 3 And much more I was incredibly lucky that Bill and I had the chance to catch -up at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine congress in London and managed to arrange a date for this recording. I hope you get a lot out of this one because I sure did! https://omegaquant.com SOCIALS Facebook: @Omega3Index Instagram: @OmegaQuant YouTube: @OmegaQuantLab LinkedIn: @OmegaQuant-Analytics Twitter: @OmegaQuant

Send us a textCan you provide feedback on my podcast (what you like?  what you want more of?  length?  Please answer a few questions here.  Can a simple habit like flossing really reduce your risk of stroke? In this episode, Dr. Bobby unpacks the headlines sparked by a recent presentation at the American Stroke Association's International Conference that claimed regular flossing could reduce stroke risk by 20–50%. Dr. Bobby begins with a refresher on the importance of stroke prevention. From there, he explores the biological plausibility of a connection between oral health and cardiovascular events. While Americans are fairly diligent about brushing (with 90% brushing once daily and 60% brushing twice a day per YouGov data), flossing habits lag significantly (NIH Oral Health Study—highlighting a clear opportunity if the flossing-stroke link is real.Dr. Bobby dives into the study behind the headlines, a new analysis from the long-running Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, which tracked over 6,000 individuals for 25 years. The preliminary finding: regular flossers had significantly lower risk of ischemic and cardioembolic strokes (Study Abstract). Surprisingly, brushing and dental visits showed no significant benefit in this analysis.So why isn't this flossing-stroke connection headline a "five-alarm fire" in medicine? Dr. Bobby explains the limitations: the results were shared via a conference abstract, not a peer-reviewed journal article. Without full access to the data or understanding how many other hypotheses were tested from this large dataset (which has already generated over 2,300 publications), we risk falling into the trap of correlation being mistaken for causation.To further evaluate the credibility of this association, Dr. Bobby introduces the Bradford Hill criteria—nine principles to assess causality in observational studies. While the biological plausibility is strong and the effect size notable, the study fails on criteria like replication, dose-response, and publication rigor (Bradford Hill Overview).In closing, Dr. Bobby affirms the benefits of flossing—not necessarily for stroke prevention, but for better oral health, which is valuable in its own right. He shares his personal oral care routine, including flossing nightly and using a water jet, while reminding listeners to stay evidence-informed in their health decisions.Takeaways Flossing likely improves oral health, but its role in stroke prevention remains unproven. Be cautious with headlines drawn from unpublished conference abstracts—they're a starting point for inquiry, not a reason to change behavior just yet."How to Live Long and Well" at DrBobbyLiveLongAndWell.com.

April is bowel cancer awareness month.

The need for blood is constant, and every day lives are saved thanks to the generosity of blood donors. With a law change last year, even more people in New Zealand can now become blood donors. The removal of the ban on those who lived in the UK, France, or Ireland between 1980 and 1996 means thousands more Kiwis are now eligible to donate. This restriction was originally introduced due to concerns about Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), also known as Mad Cow Disease. New research published in the journal Blood suggests that in addition to helping save lives, being a regular blood donor might also reduce your risk of developing certain blood cancers. The study compared the blood of 200 healthy male blood donors in their 60s. One group had donated blood three times a year for 40 years, while the other had donated only around five times in total. While both groups showed a similar number of natural genetic mutations that accumulate with age, the type of mutation in stem cells differed: 50 percent of the frequent donors had a specific genetic variation. 30 percent of the irregular donors showed the same mutation. Interestingly, this genetic change is not linked to a higher risk of blood cancers like leukaemia. In fact, lab tests showed that blood stem cells from frequent donors were good at producing healthy red blood cells. As we age, stem cells in our bone marrow naturally accumulate mutations, resulting in groups of blood cells with slightly different genetic makeups. Sometimes, these mutations can increase the risk of blood cancers like leukaemia. One gene of particular interest in this study is called DNMT3A, which is known to be mutated in people who develop leukaemia. However, researchers found that the mutations in DNMT3A observed in frequent donors occurred in areas not associated with a pre-leukemic risk. When you donate blood, your body responds by producing new blood cells to replace what was lost. This process places mild stress on the body, which appears to promote the renewal of healthy blood stem cells and select for mutations that favour growth rather than disease. These findings add another potential benefit to regular blood donation. While the research does not prove that donating blood directly reduces the risk of blood cancer, it suggests that the process of blood renewal may positively influence the genetic makeup of stem cells. With the recent eligibility changes in New Zealand, there has never been a better time to become a donor. By giving blood, you not only help those in need but may also support your own long-term health. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cardiologist Dr Scott Murray discusses what we can all do to reduce our risk of heart disease. I think many of us are familiar with the idea that elevated levels of the so-called bad cholesterol - low density lipoprotein or LDL for short - have been linked to cardiovascular illness. (Although, in fact there is a group of scientists who argue that LDL levels are unconnected with heart disease.) But Scott argues the picture is actually  far more complicated than looking at just one factor and we need to be examining all the different elements that make up our cholesterol and fats. That means looking at our figures for total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins (HDL), LDL and triglycerides, not solely focussing on LDL to get an accurate picture of what is really going on in our bodies. And there is one other factor that is often overlooked, but that Scott believes is an even bigger risk for heart disease and that is a high blood sugar level. But as Scott reveals, the good news is that there is preventive action you can take.

Welcome to the 100th episode of Beauty is a Bitch!  It would seem dementia is on the rise, and that is a scary realization. The truth is, women have a greater risk of developing dementia during their lifetime. In fact, around twice as many women have Alzheimer's disease – the most common type of dementia – compared to men. The main reason for this greater risk is because women live longer than men, and old age is the biggest risk factor for this disease. However, other factors also play a role. Some of these risks can be mitigated, which begs the question, "What can we do for better brain health?" Health coach Susan Saunders, specializes in helping women over 50 reduce dementia risk and optimize brain health through science-backed habits. She is the author of three books on healthy aging and longevity, with her most recent being The Power Decade: How to Thrive After Menopause. Susan holds a high-level qualification as a dementia prevention coach under the guidance of neuroscientist Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of The End of Alzheimer's. She was among the first in the UK to qualify as a coach in his program. Susan has successfully coached hundreds of people globally, helping them build habits scientifically proven to reduce dementia risk. Please join Lauren and Susan as they dig deep into: the single most important thing we can do to look after our brains as we age; the six pillars of better brain health; why Susan started on this journey to better brain health; why we need to emphasize healthy habits to reduce our dementia risk; why more women than men get dementia; what happens to our brains during menopause; and what a coaching session looks like.

It is only natural that many moms are afraid of tearing "down there" during birth.  Perineal tears (aka perineal lacerations) seem pretty scary, but the best way to deal with fear is by getting the information so you can think about it more rationally.  Yes, tears do happen, but they are rare and the risk that you have one can be reduced by doing some things before and during birth, so today that's what we're talking about - how to reduce the risk of tearing during birth.

Dr. Cynthia Shepherd is board certified in medical oncology, hematology, and internal medicine. Women are affected by various types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, cervical, and skin cancers. Dr. Shepherd informs us that skin cancer is the #1 cancer found in women, followed by breast cancer as #2. Caroline and Cynthia discuss lifestyle choices and preventive measures that can be taken to pursue health and reduce the risk of cancer. She emphasizes that healthy habits can offer significant benefits comparable to chemotherapy and other medical interventions. A healthy lifestyle will also reduce the risk of other illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver, etc. Episode 6 will encourage you to live transformed by providing valuable insight, empowering strategies, and motivating stories that inspire proactive steps towards a healthy lifestyle.   Cynthia's prescription for cancer prevention:  Maintain a healthy diet: low in sugar and carbs, high in protein and healthy fats Regular exercise: 150 minutes per week reduces cancer risk by 50% Strength training: builds muscle and lowers estrogen levels, which drive most cancers Limit alcohol consumption: even one drink per week can significantly increase cancer risk, equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes Screening: mammograms, colposcopies for colon cancer screenings   Cynthia's encouragement for Living Transformed: Challenge yourself to be less sedentary and aim for 10,000 steps a day Engage in activities that prioritize self-care Prayer walks Set personal goals   Psalm 90:14: “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.”   Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”    Let's connect!

From intentionally choosing your birth place to understanding c-section rates in your area, it all plays a role in your birth experience. In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, Dr. Neel Shah dives into what we know about c-sections, why our country has such an astronomical rate of them, and what you can do to decrease your chances of “being sectioned” during labor and delivery.   We dive into access (or lack there of) and how this impacts thousand of birth stories each year. Dr. Neel shares how birthing people in rural parts of our country will have different experiences than folks in the cities with better and more abundant access to healthcare. Dr. Neel says, “We know the right mortality rate is zero. We don't know know the right amount of c-sections..and it's not zero.” We go deep into cesarean sections being life saving surgery, but also balancing that with medical manipulation. He shares that asking question is a wonderful way to stay in control of your care. Plus, he shares a tidbit about nuchal cords during birth (ie: the cord being wrapped around your baby's neck).    This episode is a MUST LISTEN if you are having a baby after literally this moment right now.

Real estate deals are often put together with options, such as the option to buy if certain conditions are met. But exactly what are they? And how can they work in your favor to lower your risk in a real estate transaction? That's what you'll find out in this interview! In this episode, my long-time partner and master negotiator, Fred Bates, will answer those questions. Fred and I have done 14 syndications together building homes all over the country. We've had projects in  Florida, Montana, Nevada, California, and Oregon. And right now, we have another project in Oregon with a much lower risk to the investor thanks to the use of an option. You'll hear how Fred negotiated that deal and why he's calling it his best deal ever! The Oregon project is an exciting deal which is open to accredited  investors until sometime next month. It provides a 12.5% preferred return with distributions expected to begin by the end of this year. Investors will also get 25% of the profits. You can find out more about our Ridgewater project in Klamath Falls, Oregon at growdevelopments.com.

Kristina Marusic is an award-winning journalist at Environmental Health Sciences who covers environmental health and justice at EHN.org and DailyClimate.org. She holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of San Francisco, and her personal essays and reporting have been published by outlets including CNN, Slate, Vice, Women's Health, The Washington Post, MTV News, The Advocate, and Bustle, among others. She recently published her first book:  “A New War on Cancer: The Unlikely Heroes Revolutionizing Prevention”, which we dive into and discuss in our conversation with Kristina. We're all exposed to dozens of chemicals that raise our cancer risk every day, but there's an emerging national movement of people dedicated to changing that, and Kristina shares their inspiring stories, along with the ways we can all pitch in to help make the world a safer place in her book and in our conversation. In today's episode you will learn: How the United States spends so little on cancer prevention versus treatments (and why). What are PFAS chemicals, where you can find them and how they raise our risk for certain types of cancer, thyroid disease, obesity, fertility problems and more.  The importance of protecting everyone through policy changes to remove these chemicals from our products, drinking water, food and more. Why filtering your water is one of the best things you can do to reduce your exposure to chemicals, and what are the best type of filters. Resources and tips to slowly swap out your household and personal care products in order to reduce your overall exposure to cancer causing toxins. Why childhood cancer rates have been on the rise over the last few decades.  We are doing an Instagram giveaway for a free copy of Kristina's book.  Head over to Instagram or send us an email (theartoflivingwellpodcast@gmail.com) by February 2nd at mindnight central time to enter this drawing.
