In this episode of the mibo show, Shanti Das speaks with life coach, motivational speaker, author, and TV personality Bershan Shaw. She is a two-time breast cancer survivor and is highly acclaimed for her unwavering zest to conquer life and motivate others in the process. Bershan was given three months to live when given her breast cancer diagnosis. 20 years later, she is still thriving. Shaw talks about her journey, her message, and her Urawarrior app to help others.  the mibo show is proudly supported by Johnson & Johnson as part of its long-standing commitment to advance health equity in the United States and around the world.Through Mentor, Johnson & Johnson has remained steadfast in its commitment to providing high-quality implants, science-based innovations, and the best results for patients. For information about breast reconstruction and other resources, please visit BreastImpantsbyMentor.com. Here are some facts about breast cancer: In 2022, the Mayo Clinic reported that “breast cancer was the leading cause of cancer death among Black women, according to a new report by the American Cancer Society. Black women are now 41% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women despite a lower risk of being diagnosed with the disease. This is partly because Black women are more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a later stage when it is harder to treat, and they are less frequently undergoing screening mammography. However, Black women have lower survival rates for every stage of breast cancer diagnosis. Many complex factors contribute to this gap in care outcomes ― all of which are fueled by systemic racism that limits access to high-quality cancer treatment.” Resources: Johnson & Johnson Health Equity: https://www.jnj.com/global-health-equity My Health Can't Wait (MHCW): https://www.myhealthcantwait.com  Please support Shanti Das' non-profit: https://www.silencetheshame.com

In this episode of the mibo show, Shanti Das speaks with actress, host and caretaker Yvette Nicole Brown about her journey as an Alzheimer's caretaker and advocate. Brown discusses her years of taking care of her father and the ups and downs that come with caring for a loved one. Shanti also opens up about her own personal experience as a caretaker. Both women offer honest insight and advice to people who are going through the same situation in their lives. 21.3% of Black people over 70 live with Alzheimer's. This is true. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 21.3% of Black Americans ages 70 and older are living with Alzheimer's. This statistic is also referenced by UC Davis Health. 1 in 5 people are doing some sort of role as a caregiver. This is true. According to AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, more than 1 in 5 adults – roughly 53 million adult Americans – are unpaid family caregivers. A study by the Rosalynn Carter Center also shows as much as 22% of the U.S. workforce is composed of family caregivers. Those who are caregiving are more prone to mental stress than those who aren't. This is true. According to Mayo Clinic, caregivers report higher levels of stress than people who are not caregivers. Additionally, a study found in the National Library of Medicine reports caregiving has all the features of a chronic stress experience and can be used as a model for studying the health effects of chronic stress.

Could the stories we share on grief and trauma become the balm to soothe a collective heartache? Join me as I, alongside TV and radio personality Brii Renee & CEO and Founder of Silence the Shame Shanti Das, unravel the threads of sorrow that bind us all, especially within the Black community. In a series of candid conversations, we traverse personal tales of unexpected loss, from the death of my father, the loss of Shanti Das' sister, to Brii's sudden bereavement and miscarriage. Our narratives weave through the complexities of carrying on traditions in the face of an empty seat at the holiday table, grappling with the loneliness that often shadows grief, and understanding the potency of specific, actionable support from our circles. Witness with us the double-edged sword of social media, where the rawness of Black pain is both amplified and trivialized. We dissect how repeated exposure to violence against our kin stirs a vicarious trauma that we carry in our scroll, even as these platforms offer a haven for dialogue on mental health. By sharing our struggles and interventions, like the transformative act of travel and immersion in new surroundings to lighten grief's load, we chart a roadmap for those seeking solace amidst loss. Together, we honor the resilience that pulses within our stories — the kind that fosters healing through the acknowledgment of our most profound wounds. In this heart-stirring symphony of sorrow and strength, we salute the courage to confront generational trauma head-on and welcome the painstaking journey toward joy after profound loss. We reflect on the tender process of healing after personal tragedies, like my father's suicide, and the evolution of grief that continues to shape us. As we close, we emphasize the value of asking, "How are you feeling?" recognizing that each shared experience of pain, each offered empathy, weaves a stronger fabric of community support. So, tune in and let's navigate this path of mourning and mending, together. RATE, REVIEW, AND FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCAST ‌

Scandal has struck at the heart of East Grinstead, and together with Apostate Alex, I, Claire Headley, peel back the curtain on Scientology's insidious grasp on local governance. Our latest podcast episode unveils the shocking entanglement of the controversial church within the fibers of East Grinstead Town Council. As we unpack the Daily Mail's bombshell revelations, you'll hear firsthand how 'safepointing' has become Scientology's modus operandi, transforming community ties into a strategic ploy for power. The journey to uncover these truths wasn't without resistance, as you'll learn through our personal accounts of the pushback from the council and the formidable wall of silence we've been chipping away at.The plot thickens when we turn the spotlight on the local council's dance with complicity, as we reveal the extent of their alleged collusion with Scientology's darker side. We discuss how redacted minutes and censored records are more than just bureaucratic maneuvers—they are the footprints of a council struggling to maintain an image while under the church's financial charm. The tales of personal attacks faced by critics, reminiscent of Scientology's 'fair game' tactics, illustrate a chilling reality. Our dialogue also branches out to consider the wider implications of such financial influence on local governments, from East Grinstead to the Los Angeles Police Department, and the pressing need for transparency and accountability.In a compelling segue, we turn our attention to the Paris Ideal Org's grand opening—shadowed by controversy and strikingly low turnout. The event's subdued atmosphere and David Miscavige's absence are not mere footnotes but indicators of Scientology's wavering facade of expansion. We speculate on Miscavige's current game of hide-and-seek, all while considering Scientology's potential maneuvers for the impending Paris Olympics. Wrapping up, we acknowledge the valiant efforts of global activists like Shanti Das, whose formidable work has put Narconon's questionable practices under the microscope, inspiring us all to persist in the fight for awareness and change.Support the Show.BFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160/shareApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 Spotify: ...

As a big player in the recording industry, Shanti Das provided a lot of help in bringing artists like Usher, OutKast, and TLC to national audiences. Ultimately, she needed a lot of help herself and left her high profile career behind to work on her own mental health. Shanti went through a dark time in the early to mid-2010s, with the loss of her sister and the death by suicide of her best friend, and she was considering suicide. Then some things went her way, including a chance encounter with a friend at home goods store, some sage advice from Rev. Raphael Warnock, and good therapy. Today, Shanti Das runs Silence the Shame, a nonprofit advocating for mental health.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing!In Part 1 we talked about how Novo Nordisk got suspended from The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry for their shady marketing practices. Today, we're going to talk about an investigation by The Observer that found what so many of us have been saying for a looooong time - that Novo Nordisk had paid millions to prominent ob*sity “charities,” NHS trusts, universities and other bodies as well healthcare professionals who publicly praised the drug (typically without disclosure of their funding) and who advised NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) on their reviewing of Novo's weight loss drug to decide whether or not it should be made available.The Observer article by Shanti Das and Jon Ungoes-Thomas “‘Orchestrated PR campaign': how skinny jab drug firm sought to shape ob*sity debate” (Note: per my policy I'm not linking to it because it still comes from a place of weight stigma) found that in three years, Novo Nordisk had shelled out £21,700,000 (about $26,415,301.50 USD) over 3,500 transactions which were separate from their research and development spending.The Observer found:“The payments include donations, event sponsorship, grants and other fees to prominent ob*sity charities, NHS trusts, royal colleges, GP surgeries, healthcare education providers and universities - on top of £28m spent by the company on research and development. A further £4m in payments such as consulting and lecture fees went to health professionals, including experts on ob*sity. The business has also provided financial support for the running of the all-party parliamentary group on ob*sity - a cross party group of MPs and members of the Lords that lobbies the government on health policy.”I've written before about how major papers like the New York Times are writing articles that are, essentially, lobbying for Novo Nordisk's priorities where every expert quoted is on Novo's payroll with no disclosure. One question I get asked a lot is “how is that legal?” First I'll point out that legal and ethical are two different things. Beyond that, there is a tendency to believe that doctors and academics are somehow immune to industry influence (or to the ways that their promotion of the weight loss paradigm will support their careers) such that reporters and others (including those on the pharma industry's payroll) claim that disclosing these conflicts of interest isn't important.An excellent example of the ways in which those who are seen as “impartial” experts in academia are, in fact, on the payroll of these companies and actively shilling for them is Professor John Wilding. Professor Wilding is at Liverpool University, where he leads clinical research on “ob*sity.” He also serves as president of the “World Ob*sity Federation” (an astroturf organization similar to the Ob*sity Action Coalition) which took more than £4.3M over three years, per The Observer. Somehow, this did not make its way onto his conflicts of interest statement. Meanwhile, he was quoted extensively in the media recommending Novo's drug Wegovy. Jason Halford, who is the Head of the School of Psychology at the University of Leeds, told an audience of millions on BBC that Wegovy is “one of the most powerful pharmaceutical tools” for treating “ob*sity.” He did not disclose that he is also the president of the European Association for the Study of Ob*sity (EASO), another astroturf organization (which is to say, an organization that claims to advocate for marginalized people but, in reality, is predominantly funded by and acting as a lobbying arm of, the pharmaceutical/weight loss surgery industry.) The Observer found that the EASO received more than three-quarters of its income (more than £3.65m) from Novo Nordisk. He was also a previous member of Novo Nordisk's UK advisory board.I'm glad Novo Nordisk's lack of ethics are getting wider coverage (though, as I pointed out in part 1, people in fat liberation and weight-neutral health advocates like Mikey Mercedes, Louise Adams, Asher Larmie, myself and others have been talking about this for some time,) but I don't expect it to stop them until we can put enough pressure on them to force them to stop. This is a company that orchestrated aggressive price gouging on insulin, proving beyond a doubt that they will kill people for money. And as pressure in the US is forcing Novo to lower the price of insulin, they seem to have a lot of eggs in the Wegovy basket. Prior to launch, they promised their shareholders the “fastest ever” post FDA-approval launch and that they would double their “ob*sity” sales by 2025. In fact, The Observer found that Novo Nordisk's sales on their new “ob*sity treatments” rose 84% in 2022 to $2.4B – a figure Novo projects will “grow significantly” in 2023.And what will they do to grow this figure significantly this year? I think their behavior makes it clear – absolutely anything they can get away with.Did you find this post helpful?
