Many chronic health conditions—such as IBS, asthma, and autoimmune disorders—can be traced back to imbalances in the gut. Disruptions to the microbiome caused by antibiotics, poor diet, food sensitivities, and environmental exposures can lead to inflammation, malabsorption, and increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Addressing gut health through a structured Functional Medicine approach called the 5R's of gut repair—removing harmful triggers, replacing missing digestive factors, reinoculating with beneficial bacteria, repairing the gut lining, and rebalancing lifestyle factors—can restore balance and improve systemic health.  In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Raja Dhir, the Functional Medicine approach to healing the gut and why the gut is at the center of imbalances in the body, including many health conditions. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Raja Dhir is the co-founder and co-CEO of Seed Health, a microbiome science company developing innovative probiotics and living medicines to advance human and planetary health. He specializes in translating cutting-edge microbial research into impactful products and leads Seed Health's academic collaborations with institutions such as MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, and the NIH. Raja co-chairs Seed's Scientific Board alongside Dr. Jacques Ravel, guiding research across microbiology, immunology, genetics, and ecology. He also directs LUCA Biologics, a company focused on the vaginal microbiome and women's health, and oversees SeedLabs, which drives environmental initiatives. Through this work, Raja plays a key role in accelerating microbiome-based solutions from discovery to market. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Ten years ago, political scientists Martin Gilens of Princeton and Benjamin Page of Northwestern took an extraordinary data set compiled by Gilens and a small army of researchers and set out to determine whether America could still credibly call itself a democracy. They used case studies 1,800 policy proposals over 30 years, tracking how they made their way through the political system and whose interests were served by outcomes. For small D democrats, the results were devastating. Political outcomes overwhelmingly favored very wealthy people, corporations, and business groups. The influence of ordinary citizens, meanwhile, was at a “non-significant, near-zero level.” America, they concluded, was not a democracy at all, but a functional oligarchy.  Fast forward to 2024 and a presidential campaign that saw record support by billionaires for both candidates, but most conspicuously for Republican candidate Donald Trump from Tesla and Starlink owner Elon Musk, the world's richest man. That prompted outgoing President Joe Biden, in his farewell address, to warn Americans about impending oligarchy—something Gilens and Page said was already a fait accompli ten years before. And as if on cue, the new president put billionaire tech bro supporters like Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg front and center at his inauguration and has given Musk previously unimaginable power to dismantle and reshape the federal government through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. So what does it mean that American oligarchy is now so brazenly out in the open?  Joining host Ralph Ranalli are Harvard Kennedy School Professor Archon Fung and Harvard Law School Professor Larry Lessig, who say it could an inflection point that will force Americans to finally confront the country's trend toward rule by the wealthy, but that it's by no means certain that that direction can be changed anytime soon. Archon Fung is a democratic theorist and faculty director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at HKS. Larry Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School and a 2016 presidential candidate whose central campaign theme was ridding politics of the corrupting influence of money. Archon Fung's Policy Recommendations:Involve the U.S. Office of Government Ethics in monitoring executive orders and changes to the federal government being made by President Trump, Elon Musk, and other Trump proxies.Demand transparency from Musk and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency about their actions in federal agencies, what changes and modifications they are making to systems, and an accounting of what information they have access to.Lawrence Lessig's Policy Recommendations:Build support for a test court case to overturn the legality of Super PACs, which are allowed to raise unlimited amounts of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates.Experiment with alternative campaign funding mechanisms, such as a voucher program that would give individuals public money that they could pledge to political candidates.Urge Democratic Party leaders to lead by example and outlaw Super PAC participation in Democratic primaries.Episode Notes:Archon Fung is the Winthrop Laflin McCormack Professor of Citizenship and Self-Government and director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at the Kennedy School. at the Harvard Kennedy School. His research explores policies, practices, and institutional designs that deepen the quality of democratic governance. He focuses upon public participation, deliberation, and transparency.

Lessig is the founder of Equal Citizens and a founding board member of Creative Commons, and serves on the Scientific Board of AXA Research Fund. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, he was once cited by The New Yorker as “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era,” Lessig has turned his focus from law and technology to institutional corruption and the corrupting influence of money on democracy, which led to his entering the 2016 Democratic primary for president. He has written 11 books, including “They Don't Represent Us: Reclaiming Our Democracy” in 2019.

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Dr. Charles Cavo to explore the growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and dive into their benefits and considerations in metabolic treatments. Dr. Cavo shares valuable insights from his work at the metabolic center in Connecticut, explaining the complexities of modern weight management medications and why lifestyle integration is essential for achieving sustainable results. He makes a strong case for the power of personalized healthcare strategies and the broader metabolic advantages of these treatments—especially in preventing dementia and reducing chronic disease risk. We also explore natural ways to enhance GLP-1 production, including supplements like allulose, berberine, and green tea extract, along with exercise and dietary adjustments. Dr. Cavo takes us through the importance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women's health, debunking myths and clarifying its role. He also discusses pregnancy and menopause, emphasizing how tailored medical care is key to navigating these transitions. This episode is packed with essential insights, blending conventional and holistic approaches to help you optimize your health. Key Takeaways: GLP-1 receptor agonists are transformative in addressing metabolic dysfunction but must be paired with lifestyle changes for effective, lasting results. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is crucial for mitigating menopausal symptoms and offers various health benefits, including decreased risks of dementia and diabetes. Natural supplements like allulose and berberine can simulate GLP-1 effects, offering a less invasive path for improving metabolic health. For women's health, particularly during menopausal transitions, focus on resistance training, adequate protein intake, and ensuring gut health is emphasized by Dr. Carvo. The upcoming Metabolic Health Resort aims to provide a health-focused sanctuary for recovery and lifestyle change, free from processed food distractions.

In this episode we talked to Professor Lea Waters about the pathways towards well-being and why ‘strengths-based parenting' is important.   Lea is Founding Director of and Inaugural Gerry Higgins Chair in Positive Psychology at the Centre for Positive Psychology (now the Centre for Wellbeing Science), University of Melbourne. Lea holds affiliate positions at Cambridge University and the University of Michigan and serves on the Scientific Board at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center. Lea is the Past President of the International Positive Psychology Association, serves on the Council of Happiness and Education for the World Happiness Council, is the Patron of Flourishing Education Japan and Ambassador for the Positive Education Schools Association. She is a registered psychologist and a full member of the Australian Psychological Society.   Key convo points are: Lea's tripartite account of flourishing as feeling good, functioning well and doing good. The connection Lea draws between her account of flourishing and positive psychology - the scientific study of the conditions and processes leading to human flourishing. Lea's ‘SEARCH' framework on the six pathways to well-being: Strengths, Emotional management, Attention & Awareness, Relationships, Coping, and Habits & goals. Lea's view that flourishing is the aim of education, and her research on how improving well-being in education supports the fulfillment of students' learning. Lea's argument that to build well-being, we need to make well-being more visible, in similar ways to how we try to make thinking visible. The age at which humans gain a sense of purpose in life. What strengths-based parenting is and why parents should consider employing it.  flourishfmpodcast.com

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Mario De Caro filosofo e Angela Sirigu scienziata.L'intervista con Mario De Caro e Angela Sirigu è in Contemporaneamente a cura di Mariantonietta Firmani il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Mario De Caro e Angela Sirigu ci parlano di indagini filosofiche e scientifiche. Liberal Naturalism tende alla rilettura congiunta di scienza e filosofia, separate dal tempo di Galilei. Fondamentale è l'incontro con persone chiave che indirizzano la nostra vita. Le lesioni cerebrali incapsulate e non necessariamente la lesione di una funzione inficia atre capacità.Studi di neuroscienze e filosofia dimostrano come il libero arbitrio sia molto più limitato di quando generalmente si crede, con rilevanza nell'evoluzione del diritto. Con la consapevolezza del condizionamento possiamo ampliare lo spazio del libero arbitrio. L'ossitocina è uno dei maggiori neuro-mediatori che regola tutte le attività del nostro corpo. Dai tempi di Cartesio non si cercano più certezze che nessun sapere empirico può darci, dunque neanche la scienza. Naturalmente pensiero cognitivo e neurotrasmissione si influenzano reciprocamente, per esempio la ricompensa soddisfa il nostro sistema dopaminergico. Le multinazionali forse non esistono. Mario De Caro professore ordinario di Filosofia morale presso l'Università Roma Tre. Insegna anche presso l'Università della Svizzera Italiana e dal 2000 è regolarmente visiting professor presso la Tufts University. Si occupa principalmente di filosofia morale, libero arbitrio e teoria dell'azione e, con David Macarthur, ha elaborato la teoria del “Liberal naturalism”.Già Visiting scholar al MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Fulbright Fellow ad Harvard e presidente della Società Italiana di Filosofia Analitica (SIFA).

This week on Womanity – Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Professor Tess van der Merwe who is a Professor and Researcher in the Department of Endocrinology, University of Pretoria;  CEO of the 11 Centres for Metabolic Medicine and Surgery of South Africa CEMMS(SA). She is the Africa consultant for the International Association for the Study of Obesity; Chair of the South African Society for Obesity Metabolism (SASSO) and has served this organisation for more than 25 years; and she currently serves on the Scientific Board of the International Federation for Surgical Obesity. She highlights the fact that two out of every three women in South Africa is clinically overweight or obese, which places South Africa fifth highest level in the world in terms of obesity rankings and the heaviest in sub-Sahara Africa. Obesity is a multifactorial disease and the prevalence in women is combination of environmental and personal factors. There is a need to shift thinking about obesity from a lifestyle disease to a disease in its own right that contributes to several chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and cancer. We compare gender equality attitudes in South Africa and Sweden (an egalitarian society), where gender blindness in Sweden provides equal opportunities for women in comparison to the immature attitudes some sectors of  South African society tends to have regarding women that limit their development.
