Welcome to Alberta Health Services’ COVID-19 podcast. In this episode, Dr. Braden Manns, Co-Chair of the Scientific Advisory Group, talks about the important work being done by SAG to support Albertans and AHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you've never heard of the government scientific advisory panel known as JASON, there's a good reason for that: Most of the work it does is classified. The independent group has been conducting studies for the Defense Department and other agencies for more than 60 years. But now, the department seems determined to do away with it. Defense officials said the reason is there are more cost effective ways to get outside scientific advice, but there are reasons to be skeptical of that explanation. Charles Levinson has been covering the possible downfall of JASON, and efforts to rescue it, for Reuters, where he's a national affairs correspondent. He talked with Federal Drive with Tom Temin about where things stand.

In this episode you will learn three main things: 1) Why changing your diet should be your first line of defense for getting lyme-free? 2) How long do you have to stick to a keto diet for it to work? 3) Simple blood tests to determine if a ketogenic diet is right for you. David G Harper is an educator, researcher and health consultant, and has studied the effect of diet on health issues for many years. Dr. Harper has a PhD from the University of British Columbia, is on the Scientific Advisory board of the Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition and is a member of the Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition.

Dr. John Sullivan shares why “The Brain always Wins” on PHIT for a Queen     The Brain is the Governor connected by the vagus nerve The brain hasn’t been viewed as cool because we don’t tell a good story about it. Why we should view mental health as brain health- “we don’t know what human consciousness is” Breath rate manages heart rate which also manages the brain. Shares how brain management starts with PROCESS- listen to find what those stand for When you can regulate heart rate and respiration rate you can regulate emotion. Leaving you to be able to “see and do” emotion regulation, pattern recognition. What if we viewed nutrition as the messages received to optimize brain health and function versus physical function? - “nutrition is neurotransmitters. “ Does our lack of social connection- eye to eye, hand to hand impact our brain health? http://www.thebrainalwayswins.com/home.html https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Always-Wins-Improving-Management/dp/1909273732 Some of the proceeds go back to the military where they can continue to study the brain and the impacts on war.       How you know he is legit: Dr. John P.
