Why can't women sleep? From tossing and turning through the night, to the 3AM wake-up call that feels impossible to recover from, insomnia is one of the most common issues women face — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Molly and Emese sit down with leading sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris to unpack the science of women's sleep and the real fixes that actually work. We cover everything from why hormones, stress, and parenting fatigue wreak havoc on REM cycles to evidence-based strategies like CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), sleep hygiene hacks, and supplement myths. Dr. Harris also sets the record straight on the biggest viral myths — does age really mean you need less sleep? Does “before midnight” sleep count more? How much do women actually need? — and shares what every woman in her 30s, 40s, and 50s should know about protecting sleep for better brain health, mood, and longevity. Because better sleep isn't just rest — it's your key to sharper thinking, steadier mood, and better aging Mentioned in the Episode: The Women's Guide to Overcoming Insomnia: Get a Good Night's Sleep Without Relying on Medication by Dr. Shelby Harris TIMESHIFTER App Topical Magnesium Green Compass Full Spectrum Daily Nano Jellies Hatch Alarm A Sony Music Entertainment production.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2019 conversation with Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls. ABOUT EMILY SALIERSSinger-songwriter Emily Saliers is best known as one half of Indigo Girls, which NPR called “one of the finest folk duos of all time.” The Georgia-raised musical icon is the sole writer of some of the group's best-known titles, including “Closer to Fine,” “Hammer and a Nail,” “Galileo,” “Least Complicated,” “Power of Two,” “Get Out the Map,” and others. With fifteen studio albums to their credit, Indigo Girls are Grammy award winners and winners of the Pell Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. They've earned seven gold, four platinum, and one double platinum award for album sales and have collaborated with REM, Joan Baez, Brandi Carlile, P!nk, and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello. In addition to her work with Indigo Girls, Saliers and her father, a retired theology professor, co-wrote the book A Song to Sing, a Life to Live: Reflections on Music as Spiritual Practice. In recent years she released her debut solo album, Murmuration Nation, and has remained an impassioned activist and advocate for causes close to her heart. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Author and journalist Peter Ames Carlin specialises in puncturing rock'n'roll myths while enriching the legends. His biographies of iconic musicians and bands from Springsteen to REM are often definitive and his latest is no exception, a high stakes page turning exploration of how Bruce Springsteen transformed himself, his career and fulfilled his destiny as rock'n'roll future with his 1975 iconic album 'Born to Run'. We talk about the breakneck writing of the book and his conversations with Bruce himself, Springsteen's self-mythologising, being Superman and Clark Kent, how Springsteen's treatment by his parents and grandparents shaped his personality, getting out vs sticking around, how Thunder Road evolved into the legendary song we all know with some help from John Landau, how audiences behave at Springsteen shows vs other artists and why 'Born to Run' still means something to Bruce in the way that some of his other records don't.
Welcome to The Superhumanize Podcast. I'm your host, Ariane Sommer, and today we're diving into one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations in modern medicine: the metabolic theory of cancer.For decades, we've been told that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, a matter of unlucky mutations that require aggressive pharmaceutical interventions. But what if that's only part of the story? What if cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, a disorder of cellular energy production that we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted metabolic therapies?This isn't fringe science. And it's giving patients new hope, and new options, beyond the standard cut, poison, and burn model. Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Donese Worden to the show. Dr. Worden is a board-certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, researcher, and global health educator who has dedicated her career to bridging conventional and alternative cancer care. She's collaborated with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, served as CEO of Care Oncology, and works directly with Dr. Seyfried on metabolic cancer research. She's also the creator of the 7 Pillars of Health framework, a comprehensive approach to resilience that addresses everything from sleep and gut health to spiritual wellbeing.Dr. Worden's motto is 'Educate, Empower, Enlighten,' and that's exactly what we're going to do today. We'll explore the metabolic theory of cancer, discuss both prevention and treatment strategies, and give you a roadmap for building resilience at every level.Episode Highlights00:00 Welcome + why the “metabolic theory of cancer” matters02:00 Genetics vs. metabolism: why only ~5% is strictly genetic (and gene expression is modifiable)03:45 Warburg's mitochondrial lens; PET scans lighting up because cancer voraciously consumes sugar06:45 How we veered away historically; incentives that kept oncology gene-centric09:00 What damages mitochondria today: toxins, antibiotics (without mitigation), chronic stress10:30 Stress as a metabolic driver; why it keeps glucose high even on a “good” diet12:30 Ketogenic therapy for cancer: high fat, lower protein (individualized), carbs mainly from veggies15:00 Measuring correctly: Keto-Mojo, GKI (Glucose-Ketone Index); skip urine strips for accuracy17:00 Fast stress relief protocols: music-guided entrainment, breath work, active meditation, journaling20:15 Somatic breath work in practice; rapid emotional release21:00 Best fats and how Dr. W screens with food-sensitivity testing first23:15 Keto cycles for prevention: 6-week blocks a couple times per year24:15 Exercise as mitochondrial medicine: HIIT + resistance for biogenesis and cancer risk reduction26:00 The KetoPet model: ketogenic diet + HBOT + interval training; lessons for humans28:15 Starting movement in late-stage cases; meeting people exactly where they are30:15 “Press–Pulse” strategy: what stays constant vs. what's pulsed to outsmart tumor adaptation32:00 Repurposed meds (e.g., metformin, doxycycline) and why many oncologists can't step outside SOC33:00 Bridging care: when surgery/chemo/radiation have a role; aiming at cancer stem cells37:15 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): driving O₂ into cells; why it's pulsed and protocol-specific39:30 Outcomes Dr. W sees most consistently: better quality of life, often longer survival41:00 The psychology of prognosis; belief, stress, and manifestation43:00 The “placebo” as your body's own pharmacy (parasympathetic healing state)44:15 Targeting glutamine along with glucose; where evidence stands now (e.g., berberine, exercise, stress)46:45 The Seven Pillars of Health overview (self-audit)48:30 Pillar 1 — Sleep: deep/REM, how you feel on waking49:15 Pillar 2 — Body: strength,...

It's new music for the month of October! Jenn Tully fills in for Sam again this month alongside Matt Sidhom. Together they built a mix that moves from David Byrne's question-rich groove with Ghost Train Orchestra and Hayley Williams to Florence and the Machine's roof-raising declaration of ambition, with plenty of discoveries and nostalgic detours in between. We kick off with What Is the Reason for It, a horn-lit, cinematic opener that doubles as a meditation on love's contradictions. From there, we bend time: Oasis reenters the chat via Don't Look Back in Anger and the 30th anniversary of What's the Story (Morning Glory), a reminder that remasters can be the best kind of rediscovery. Cold War Kids deliver a standout with Hyperempathy—maybe the most accurate song about a long-term couple's fight—before Electric Guest lifts the room with Play Your Guitar and its bassline-as-elevation. We even throw a glam-pop curveball with Foxy Shazam's You Know My Name featuring Corey Feldman, a surprisingly joyful MJ-inspired romp.The middle stretch balances comeback warmth and clever wordplay: Yellowcard's Better Days revisits the hooky honesty that made Ocean Avenue timeless, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise stitches fast-twitch lyrics to an easy, elastic groove. For elegant horror, The Last Dinner Party's This Is the Killer Speaking toggles between sinister verses and pop-bright choruses, while Sloan's Dream Destroyer blends 70s glam swagger with modern edge. We also wrestle with art versus artist through The Lemonheads' The Key of Victory, and tip our hat to familiar architecture with Arthur Buck's Fall in Love With Me, a pop-spooky echo of REM instincts with fresh attitude.We close on Florence and the Machine's One of the Greats, a soaring, razor-sharp statement about the cost and confidence of excellence—complete with a pointed critique of industry double standards. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-new-music-october-2025/pl.u-pm2jidKjlz1.

Matt takes a deep dive into REM sleep this week, highlighting methods to enhance this vital stage for emotional regulation and creativity. Detailing pharmacological approaches, he focuses on the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and how medications like donepezil and modern DORAs can boost REM sleep, while also identifying common suppressors like alcohol and THC. Throughout the episode, he also emphasizes that the goal is not to maximize one stage but to achieve a balanced sleep architecture.The discussion then covers behavioral and lifestyle strategies, explaining how simple changes like sleeping later into the morning, regular exercise, and stress management can remove natural roadblocks to REM. Matt also outlines how managing light exposure - by avoiding blue light at night and getting bright light in the morning - and consuming complex carbohydrates in the evening can further support this dream stage. Finally, the episode touches on emerging technologies like electrical brain stimulation that aim to amplify the brain's natural REM rhythms.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.

Dr. K breaks down the science of dreams and why they may be one of the brain's most powerful ways of communicating hidden information. While dream interpretation often sounds mystical or unscientific, Dr. K shows how even from a clinical perspective dreams can reveal suppressed emotions, defense mechanisms, and subconscious knowledge that you miss in day-to-day life. Through real patient stories, he illustrates how dreams connect to relationships, addiction, and major life decisions. He explains why logical, data-driven people often benefit the most from dream work, since their intuition and emotions get pushed aside. The episode also covers practical steps like keeping a dream journal, mapping emotions onto real-world experiences, and interpreting symbols through your own personal associations. Topics include: Why evolution conserved dreaming and REM sleep across mammals How suppressed emotions resurface through dreams PTSD nightmares as evidence of dreams' real-life connection Defense mechanisms and why the brain hides information from you Real cases: dreams about planes, snakes, and addiction recovery Practical tools for dream journaling and emotional interpretation Why the “symbols” in dreams matter less than what they mean to you This episode bridges hard science and human experience, offering a framework for using your dreams as a guide to understand yourself better and make clearer choices.

Let's Chat!The lights hum a half-beat late, the city moves at the wrong speed, and the mirror smiles before you do. Episode 8 of the Patience of Predator series pulls you into a slow, surgical horror where perfection doesn't chase—it waits. Aston walks into an apartment that remembers his scent but not his claim, a skyline that looks right but stalls like a photograph, and a stereo that sings memories out of time. Each small glitch—delayed reflections, warped songs, clocks that reverse—tightens into a single threat: the version he built to survive has learned to breathe first.We follow Aston from a dusted BMW to a glass-walled firm that rewards polish and punishes tremor. Reflections start speaking before mouths move. Printers whisper, We already replaced you. In the Hall of Glass, every pane rehearses a different him—older, younger, faster—until the wave closes in with palms pressed from the wrong side. The line that lands like a verdict: It's not the glass that traps you. It's the one that looks back. When his perfected self steps through the window, there's no shatter—just a colder hand, a smoother voice, and an effortless, I'll handle it from here.We talk openly about the cost of “being better”: how perfectionism can become a predator, how high-performance habits drift into identity erasure, and why systems prefer the seamless version of you. The soundtrack—REM, Depeche Mode, Seal, Massive Attack, U2—scores the unraveling, each song detuned like a memory failing the truth test. We leave Claire's fate unresolved by design, a mirror for how our stories tolerate ambiguity when control is the idol. And we end with two sharp questions you can't ignore: What part of your strength is truth, and what part is the calm you practiced to hide the break? If your world met the version you've been building, would it grieve—or say thank you?Listen, reflect, and tell us what you see in your mirror. If this series hit a nerve, subscribe, share with a friend who's chasing “better,” and leave a review with your answer to the final question."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Can sleep help us unlearn biases and make our memories more positive?Implicit biases are unconscious stereotypes that influence our judgments and decisions - like assuming a particular gender for a specific job role. But what if we could change these biases?In this episode, we explore how manipulations of sleep might help reshape our implicit attitudes. We speak with Professor Xiaoqing Hu, a leading researcher in the use of Targeted Memory Reactivation (TMR) during sleep to alter implicit bias and make memories more positive. Xiaoqing shares his journey of applying Implicit Association Tasks (IATs) to sleep research, and how conflict biases, congruent vs. incongruent data, and task design play a role in measuring and modifying bias.We also dive into the nitty gritty of memory consolidation in sleep — examining how REM and NREM stages contribute to emotional memory consolidation, and how recency vs. saliency affects which memories get updated.Prof. Hu discusses his groundbreaking study demonstrating the ability to update unwanted emotional memories during sleep, and we explore the potential for applying this research to clinical populations. We also consider how individual schemas might influence the effectiveness of TMR across different people.If you would like to find out more about Prof. Hu's work, please see the lab website here.

TMR - Targeted Memory Reactivation - A technique used to modify memory processing, through the use of presenting cues (audio or smell) that were associated with learning, whilst a person sleeps. These cues can modify select memories and in recent research is being used in emotional memory. __________________________________Host Professor Penny LewisProduced by Sophie SmithCheck out our NaPS website to find out more about the podcast, our research and events.

What's the Real Cost of That Evening Glass of Wine? A Sobriety Journey with Kate VitelaKate Vitela, a registered nurse, shares her powerful journey from physical alcohol dependence to over seven years of sobriety. Her story isn't defined by a dramatic rock-bottom moment but by a gradual awakening to how daily drinking eroded her sleep, career, and relationships. Now, Kate offers a hopeful perspective on recovery through neuroplasticity—the brain's incredible ability to rewire itself and form new neural pathways. “Our brains can reorganize,” she says. “We can completely transform as human beings.” This challenges the outdated notion that addiction is a lifelong disease requiring constant management.In this candid conversation, we dive into what that evening glass of wine means for midlife women. For many, it's more than a drink—it's a rebellious act of self-care, a boundary between meeting others' needs and claiming a moment for themselves. But Kate reveals the hidden costs: even one drink disrupts REM sleep, circadian rhythm, and hormones, far beyond just calories. Host, Michele Folan, shares a personal experiment, contrasting a sleep score of 62 after bourbon with 91-94 on alcohol-free nights.Kate doesn't judge moderation but offers a bold reframe: “Alcohol is ethanol—a poison. Moderation is just microdosing poison.” She argues that midlife is the perfect time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. With greater motivation and a clearer sense of what doesn't work, midlife women are uniquely positioned to embrace change.Whether you're sober-curious, exploring moderation, or questioning alcohol's role in your life, this episode invites you to uncover what drinking is truly costing you—and what freedom could look like. Through her work with women, Kate shows that true empowerment comes from self-care practices that nourish without requiring recovery.Listen now to discover how to reclaim your power, improve your sleep, and embrace a life free from alcohol's grip.You can find Kate Vitela at https://www.instagram.com/rewiredsober/Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewired-sober/id1781739552 or wherever you listen_________________________________________

What if the very ways we structure childhood are quietly cutting off our kids' potential? In this powerful conversation, renowned psychiatrist Dr. Bruce Perry joins Ginny to unpack why real learning requires movement, play, and space to reflect—not endless worksheets, long lectures, and overscheduled days. He explains how the brain wires itself through short bursts of novelty followed by rest, why REM sleep cements learning, and how overscheduling, lack of recess, and early mornings are some of the most inefficient ways we could possibly teach kids. Dr. Perry also reveals why challenges from stress or adversity are rarely irreversible, and how resilience is built through rhythm, repetition, and safe relationships. Together they explore the everyday practices that either foster growth—or unintentionally snip it off before it begins. You'll learn why play is the real work of childhood, why empathy is forged in mixed-age groups, and how freedom outdoors provides the risk-taking and mastery kids need to thrive. This episode will challenge parents, educators, and caregivers to rethink what matters most for development and offers practical ways to restore the rhythms kids need. Explore Dr. Perry's work at the ChildTrauma Academy: childtrauma.org, and his books The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog (link), What Happened to You? (link), and Born for Love (link). If this conversation helps your parenting or teaches you something new, please share it with a friend and leave a quick review. Together we can help more families protect, not snip off, the potential in their children. ❤️ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Parkinson's disease is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world—and according to Dr. Ray Dorsey, it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dorsey, a leading neurologist, Parkinson's researcher, and tireless advocate for rethinking chronic illness. Together, we unpack why the rates of Parkinson's have doubled in the last 25 years and explore a bold claim: Parkinson's is largely a manmade and preventable disease.Dr. Dorsey's message is urgent yet hopeful: prevention is possible, but it requires awareness, advocacy, and collective action. Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and one of the world's foremost voices in Parkinson's disease research and care. With deep clinical expertise and a passion for health care innovation, he is reshaping how we understand and address chronic illness. His parents were both psychiatrists, and he knew from first grade that he wanted to become a doctor. Today, he combines that lifelong love of learning with a mission to prevent Parkinson's and improve the lives of millions worldwide. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Fitness, training, discipline and communication are core to good policing, but sleep underpins them all. Quality sleep sharpens judgment, reaction time and restraint while buffering stress and trauma. For officers working long shifts, odd hours and high-stress scenes, better sleep is a practical readiness tool — not a luxury. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Dr. Leah Kaylor, an FBI clinical psychologist who provides trauma therapy and critical-incident debriefings. Kaylor's new book, “If Sleep Were a Drug: Why Sleep Is the Ultimate Advantage — No Prescription Required,” breaks down common sleep myths, explains how REM restores emotional balance and offers field-tested strategies officers can use tonight. The episode also tackles shift work realities, caffeine and alcohol traps, and when to seek help for sleep apnea.

Our brains can feel remote and abstract. Hidden behind Latin names and textbook diagrams, they rarely feel as personal to us as our hearts and stomachs. In this episode, neurologist and author Pria Anand helps us get a little more intimate with that grey, wrinkly seat of our consciousness.Together we explore both the structural architecture and the musical synchronies of the brain. We travel across the left and the right brain, "listen" to the meaning of different brain waves, and discuss some of the most perplexing examples from the annals of neuroscience. What emerges is not just an intimate journey through the organ that makes us who we are, but also an exploration on the meaning of pain, identity, and storytelling.As always, we finish with my guest's reflection on humanity.

Think you can out-eat or out-exercise poor sleep? You can't. Sleep isn't just rest—it's repair, it's hormone balance, it's fat burning, and it's brain detox. So if you've been working hard on your health but still feeling stuck, your sleep might be the reason your results aren't showing up. In this episode, I break down what sleep really does for your body—from hormone production and muscle repair to fat metabolism and cognitive function. I explain why just one night of poor sleep can throw your insulin, mood, and metabolism off—and what chronic sleep debt is quietly doing to your body over time. We're done treating sleep like a luxury. It's a biological necessity. What you'll learn: What your "night shift workers" are doing while you sleep (and why they're striking) Why deep and REM sleep are non-negotiable for fat loss and brain function How lack of sleep increases cravings, brain fog, and belly fat What poor sleep does to your hormones—including cortisol and testosterone 5 science-backed habits you can start tonight for better sleep Sleep is the foundation of every health goal you have—so let's stop ignoring it.

We’ve all been there, head pounding, stomach churning, swearing “never again”, only to do it all over again the next weekend. So why do we keep falling for the same hangover trap? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we peel back the curtain on the big lie of hangovers: why we minimize the pain, laugh it off, and even turn it into a cultural joke instead of seeing it for what it really is, a red flag from our body. Here’s what we’ll cover: The science of hangovers in plain English (dehydration, dopamine crash, no REM sleep, body in full recovery mode). Why hangovers don’t actually stop us: alcohol amnesia, dopamine hijack, and a culture that glamorizes misery. How to spot the moment when hangovers shift from “funny story” to “wake-up call.” And yes, there will be some laughs along the way. Think: breakfast burritos and bad decisions.

Over the past two years, I've discovered the game-changing "9 PM Advantage" – the practice of trading those late-night hours for early morning productivity. This simple shift has completely transformed my effectiveness and wellbeing.The power of this approach lies in its compound benefits. By establishing a consistent 9 PM bedtime, you not only standardize your sleep schedule but also maximize your deep and REM sleep during optimal recovery hours. The result? By 8 AM, when most people are just dragging themselves out of bed, you've already been operating at peak mental capacity for hours. You've potentially worked out, planned your day, and accomplished meaningful work – all before others have fully woken up.This isn't just about productivity; it's about competitive advantage. When you recognize that winning your morning actually starts the night before, you gain an edge that compounds day after day. Your thinking becomes clearer, your decisions sharper, and your energy more consistent. I challenge you to try going to bed at 9 PM for 90 days – it might just be the life-changing habit you never knew you needed.

Did you know hormone balance can help you: ✅ Sleep deeper & wake up restored ✅ Reclaim energy + libido ✅ Reduce brain fog & mood swings ✅ Lose stubborn midline weight without drastic dieting ✅ Improve hair, skin and overall vitality In today's episode I sit down with Tina Cuccurullo, founder of Ewaken Vitality, to unpack natural, science-informed ways to rebalance hormones in midlife (and before). We keep it practical — no fluff, no fear — just usable tools you can try now. What we cover: The most common (and often ignored) signs of hormone imbalance: fatigue, hot flashes, brain fog, sleep disruption, mood changes and midline weight gain. How modern life (stress, poor sleep, environmental toxins) dysregulates cortisol and throws off your hormones. Mind–body habits that actually move the needle: sleep, movement, nutrition and simple spiritual practices. Plant-based, adaptogenic support — what's in the formula Tina helped create (EstroG100 plus maca, wild yam, fenugreek, saw palmetto and other supportive botanicals) and how those ingredients are intended to support balance. Real-world results and use cases (what Hayley experienced — better REM/deep sleep, more energy, and a leaner midsection) and how to work with your practitioner if you're on HRT.

Salvete sodales! Welcome to our series, "Rem Tene;" a Latin podcast presented by Latinitas Animi Causa for beginner and intermediate learners of the Latin language built and designed for the acquisition and understanding of it as a language, not just a code to decipher. What did the Romans and Greeks believe was the secret to a good life? Balance. The aurea mediocritas — the golden mean — taught that nothing in excess is good, but neither is too little. From the story of Daedalus and Icarus to Aristotle's philosophy, the ancients taught us to hold the middle ground.But is moderation always good? Can there be too much of a good thing? Too much courage? In this episode of Rem Tenē, Andreas chats about the Golden Mean and whether it really is the way of all things.

Három fővárosi fenntartású színház élén is vezetőváltás zajlott le, egy negyedik élén pedig második ciklusát kezdheti meg az eddigi vezető: a régi-új igazgatók egy minden korábbinál nehezebb gazdasági és szakmai válságokkal terhelt időszakban vághatnak bele művészeti programjuk megvalósításába. Mi lehet a feladata Európa 9. legnagyobb városában egy városi színháznak? Hogyan értelmezhető a város és a színház, mint művészeti-kulturális színtér viszonya egy ekkora léptékű település esetében? Milyen társadalmi közfunkciót érdemes megcéloznia a színháznak, és egyáltalán: a politikai-gazdasági kitettség, vagy a korszellem, a "restség kora" jelent komolyabb kihívást egy kockázatvállaló művészeti program megvalósítása során ma egy budapesti színház számára? Évadnyitó rendezvényünk során a szakmai megújulás és változás lehetőségeit, illetve alultárgyalt válság jelenségeit helyezzük a középpontba. Szó lesz a finanszírozás, a művészeti autonómia és közönségmegtartás dilemmáiról, a független előadóművészeti színtér és a szakmai közbeszéd, a szaksajtó ellehetetlenüléséről, valamint a színészképzés terén mutatkozó túltermelési válságról és az ezzel kapcsolatos kihívásokról is. Reményeink szerint a fővárosi közgyűlés döntéshozói részvételével pedig értékelni tudjuk, hogy milyen vállalások reálisak a következő évekre a megfogalmazott problémák orvoslásához.—A Partizán közössége bebizonyította azt, amiben sokan kételkedtek: a cselekvésnek van értelme, az összefogás meghozza az eredményét.
