Podcasts about symptoms

Are you tired of chasing your acid reflux symptoms with PPI's, annoying food restrictions like the GERD diet, or hyper-vigilance about when and how much food you eat? When you ask your doctor if there's ANYTHING else you can do to help your acid reflux, do they tell you that you just need to pop another antacid, avoid trigger foods, or sleep on a wedge pillow? Do you wish there was a solution to acid reflux that was permanent, so you could eat late at night without worrying about a reflux flare, or that you could eat your favorite foods again without feeling punished for it later? If you said yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you. On today's episode, my goal is to lay out acid reflux in one MASTER episode so that, by the end of it, you can have a map for exactly how to find, and deal with, the root cause(s) of your acid reflux. In this episode, I'm talking about: The real causes of acid reflux and GERD symptoms (and why it's not “too much acid”)The difference between acid reflux, GERD, LPR, and silent reflux — and why this episode can help ALL of these diagnosesWhy standard acid reflux drugs (PPIs, acid reducers) give quick relief but cause long-term problemsHow the acid reflux diet and GERD diet miss the root causeAnd, most importantly, 2 steps to reversing your acid reflux (for good!) If you're tired of relying on medication to manage your acid reflux and want freedom from your stomach terror - then this episode is for you.

Segment 1 • Many Christians struggle with assurance, but God wants us to be certain. • Sin doesn't erase salvation—our hope rests in Christ, not in the size of our faith. • True assurance comes from union with Christ, not feelings. Segment 2 • Lack of assurance often pairs with spiritual depression. • Depression doesn't mean someone isn't a believer; many Christians quietly carry this weight. • Common roots vary, but biblical clarity brings hope. Segment 3 • New Fortis series by Dr. Greg Gifford exposes the rise of psychiatric control over many believers. • Clifford Beers' reforms medicalized the mind, blurring distinctions between brain, mind, and soul. • Meds can't reach the soul; only the gospel addresses the heart's deepest needs. Segment 4 • Pastors are called to shepherd their flock, but many turn to psychiatrists. • Symptoms may be treated, but deeper, root issues remain untouched by much secular psychiatry. • Dr. Greg Gifford addresses these issues and many others in new series, “Life Without The Numb”. ___ Thanks for listening!

Summary Are your symptoms really coming from a “broken body”—or are they actually a brain habit? In this episode, Ali breaks down the science of neuroplastic symptoms (sometimes called TMS or mind-body symptoms) and explains why real, physical sensations like pain, fatigue, gut issues, and dizziness can persist even without structural damage. You'll learn how the brain's danger pathways work, why symptoms become a habit, and how fear and avoidance keep the cycle alive. Drawing on Alan Gordon's “false alarm” framework, Ali shares simple, practical ways to rewire your brain's response—so symptoms lose their power and your nervous system learns safety again. If you've been stuck in the endless cycle of symptoms, worry, and searching for answers, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a roadmap for healing.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms are real—but they're created by the brain's danger pathways, not by structural damage. Fear and attention fuel the cycle: every time you monitor or worry, the brain reinforces the symptom as “important.” Symptoms become a habit loop—just like a song stuck in your head, the brain gets good at producing them through repetition. Alan Gordon's false alarm analogy helps explain why symptoms are real but not dangerous—the alarm is sounding, but there's no fire. Healing is possible: by reducing fear, processing emotions, and re-engaging in life, you can rewire your brain and teach it safety.   Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

In this episode, we‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including ✅ What are the first signs that perimenopause has started? ✅ What happens to your hormones during perimenopause? ✅ Why am I getting acne in my 40s? ✅ Why has my period suddenly become heavier or more irregular? ✅ Can the birth control pill help my perimenopause symptoms? ✅ Why is my PMS getting worse? ✅ Why do I wake up sweating at 2 a.m.? ✅ Why can't I remember simple words anymore?

Hypercortisolism is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or missed entirely—and for many people, that means years of frustration with difficult-to-control diabetes, high blood pressure, fatigue, and other unexplained symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with Phil, a military veteran, and his wife Cherese to share their journey through years of unanswered questions before finally uncovering hypercortisolism as the underlying cause. Together, they highlight the warning signs, the challenges of getting diagnosed, and the relief that comes with the right treatment.You'll learn why hypercortisolism is more common than most people realize, how it can hide behind type 2 diabetes, and what tests and treatments can make a life-changing difference:Why hypercortisolism is so often overlooked: Symptoms overlap with diabetes, stress, and other common health issues.Phil's story of resilience: From managing diabetes with multiple medications to discovering hypercortisolism as the root cause.The partner's perspective: How Cherese noticed the warning signs and pushed for further testing.The Catalyst Study: Research shows that up to 1 in 4 people with hard-to-control type 2 diabetes may have hypercortisolism.Diagnosis explained: The 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test and why it matters.Treatment and transformation: How targeted therapies improved Phil's blood sugars, energy, sleep, and overall quality of life.Key takeaways: Be your own best advocate—if your numbers don't add up, it's worth asking why.Important Links:- Corcept's patient hypercortisolism awareness campaign- Corcept's patient hypercortisolism disease education website ★ Support this podcast ★

Modern dermatology is failing patients because the toolbox hasn't changed in decades: antibiotics, steroid creams, and ointments. These approaches may calm the surface symptoms, but they do nothing to address what's really going on underneath the skin (the root drivers of your condition.) That's why this episode matters. We dig into the real causes of eczema, psoriasis, and acne and more importantly, the science-backed solutions that actually correct the problem at its source.  These aren't just band-aids for symptom management. They're pathways to true, lasting healing.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: The failures of modern dermatology relying on drugs An intergrative approach to skin health (diet, lifestyle, probitoics and gut health) The causes, genetic markers and solutions of eczema, psoriasis and acne The skin-gut connection Environmental triggers for your skin (micorplastics, pesticides, mold and early choldhood edvelopment) Parasites and heavy metals as it relates to skin issues Symptom suppression and gaslighting that your doctor does for you skin issues The future of skin care and healing skin conditions    More from Dr. Partha Nandi Website: codexlabscorp.com Codex Labs on Amazon: amazon.com/stores/CodexLabs Instagram: @codexlabs     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Stress symptoms you've been brushing off aren't flaws—they're messages. In this Don't Cut Your Own Bangs mini-series - Put Down the Panic: A Kinder Guide to Stress, therapist Danielle Ireland, walks through the quiet ways stress shows up (jaw clenching, gut flutters, broken sleep) and how a few gentle shifts can keep those whispers from turning into burnout—perfect timing as the holidays approach. Here's the heart of it: your body is a messenger, not a problem. “The way your body is responding to stress is not failure—it is information.” You also can't outrun stress—“Suppressed stress doesn't vanish.” High thresholds only delay the crash. The good news? Tiny things work. A one-minute body-scan, a short walk or stretch, and a slow, deep breath can reset more than you think when you do them consistently. Want ideas you can try today? Do a quick head-to-toe scan to notice tension, add a few minutes of gentle movement, and breathe slowly—simple box breathing (4-4-4-4) if that helps. These aren't grand gestures; they're steady, doable practices that add up.

Intro: Hello, and welcome to episode 178 of the Childless Not by Choice Podcast. My name is Civilla Morgan. My mission is to recognize and speak to childless women and men worldwide, reminding us that we can live joyful, relevant, and fulfilled lives.  And whether you have children or not, thank you for tuning in!     What is today's show about? Ectopic Pregnancies     I have not forgotten that this podcast is about childlessness. Indeed, being childless not by choice. And we all know there are many reasons for childlessness, including medical issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, miscarriage, PCOS, and so many other physical and physiological issues.  Trauma, both physical and emotional, can be a cause. Being born without a uterus, which I have discussed on this podcast before. I will put a link to that interview in the show notes for this episode. And then just the unknown, also known as idiopathic infertility.    I want to talk about ectopic pregnancy because I have never discussed it. But let's step back a little. Let's talk about the uterus. And I realize I am speaking to the choir here. I think most of you know what a uterus is and what it does. So let me say this in one or two sentences: The uterus is where a baby grows once the sperm fertilizes the egg. So if the egg, sperm, and fertilization end up anywhere outside of the uterus, the pregnancy will not thrive. In fact, the pregnancy will not go to term. And most times that ending up outside the uterus means the components I just mentioned: the sperm and egg, end up in the fallopian tubes. It's like driving down a highway, the fallopian tubes. You are supposed to end up at a destination, the uterus, but you get stuck on the highway instead. And sometimes getting stuck on the highway can cause irreparable damage. Meaning the possibility of no future natural pregnancies.  Although we have two fallopian tubes, so if one is affected by an ectopic pregnancy, if the other one is healthy, a viable pregnancy is possible.   The risk of an ectopic pregnancy is 1-2%.  It sounds like a small percentage, but a percentage is a percentage, isn't it? It's small until it happens to you.     And human physiology is not something that can be contested. In other words, there is no way to have a baby successfully grow outside of the womb, the uterus. And again, I know I don't need to say this, but I am not referring to other types of creating pregnancy, like the gift of a successful IVF. I am talking about how a pregnancy starts biologically, and the only way it can continue.   So, ectopic pregnancies.  ‘An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube.'--AI.  Ectopic pregnancies are often caused by damaged fallopian tubes, which prevent a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, leading it to implant and grow elsewhere.  Risk factors for tubal damage and subsequent ectopic pregnancies include  pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),  endometriosis,  Previous abdominal pelvic surgery  Smoking.  Other risk factors include conception while using an intrauterine device (IUD)  After a tubal ligation (sterilization), Ongoing fertility treatments.   Age: Being older than age 35 can also be a risk factor.    I want to stop here and note that an ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous. It is suggested that if you believe or have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, you should see your physician immediately.  Symptoms:  Vaginal bleeding or spotting Abdominal pain, often one-sided Shoulder pain Nausea and vomiting Dizziness or fainting    Now, the good news in all of this is that the chances of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are good, ranging from 65 to 85%, especially as time goes on. Meaning if you get pregnant again in 18 months, a successful pregnancy is 65% likely. In two years, it is 85% likely.    I will say again, if we have arrived at the fact that we will not be having children. Maybe we have already had the hysterectomy. Maybe we have stopped IVF. We have just come to terms and decided to move on with our lives as childless not by choice people. That's what this podcast was created to address. But I also believe it is important to know more than our own journey. And that if we ever want to discuss more than our own journey, we are in the know. We can intelligently discuss as much or as little as we would like.  Knowledge allows us to have the ball in our court.    Maybe you have a family member or friend who is or has suffered from an ectopic pregnancy. Maybe you have, and then the pregnancy never happened for you. Either way, this is a slice of knowledge.  And I hope it was helpful.   As I close out this episode, I want to remind you that we are approaching our final episodes.  It is a bittersweet feeling, as I have said before. But I know I am doing the right thing. I am feeling a shift and I need to go along with that shift. I will keep the Facebook group open, I will keep the website up and running. And in fact, I may now find time to refresh the website. www.childlessnotbychoice.net.   Usually I go on hiatus for October and November. I have decided to do an October episode, and hiatus for November only. Back in December with a final episode.  Any questions, please feel free to reach out.

In this episode, Molly Painschab and Clarissa Kennedy reconnect after three transformative weeks together—first in London for the International Food Addiction and Comorbidities Conference, then exploring the magic of Scotland. From castles and waterfalls to ancient standing stones, they share the joy of work, play, and community in recovery. But the heart of today's conversation is the fawn response—a trauma survival strategy often misunderstood as “people pleasing.” Drawing on their own stories and professional experiences, Molly and Clarissa explore how fawning develops, why it feels so challenging to change, and how it manifests in recovery and relationships. What We Talk About Fawning explained: Why it's more than people pleasing and how it functions as a survival strategy. Personal stories: Growing up in emotionally immature households, learning to appease, and the impact on identity and relationships. Adaptive vs. maladaptive fawning: When appeasement helps us survive—and when it harms us. Symptoms and signs: From difficulty saying no, over-apologizing, and hypervigilance to identity loss and emotional exhaustion. Why fawning is reinforced: Cultural, gender, and relational factors that reward compliance at the cost of selfhood. Professional insights: What clinicians and helpers need to know about clients who fawn—including vulnerability to relapse, self-neglect, and difficulty with boundaries. Pathways to healing: Building awareness, practicing small boundaries, parts work, somatic tools, and self-compassion as antidotes to shame. Grief and growth: Naming the loss that comes with shifting out of fawning while also reclaiming voice, choice, and authenticity. Invitation for Listeners This week, reflect on a time you said “yes” when you truly wanted to say “no.” What small, safe boundary might you practice instead? Notice how your body responds, and give yourself permission to honor your needs—one step at a time. ✨ Resources Mentioned Are You Mad at Me? by Meg Josephson Sweet Sobriety Membership & Groups: www.sweetsobriety.ca

The list of perimenopause symptoms you're dealing with right now can honestly make you feel like you're going crazy.

Summary In this episode, Melvin Pitz and Cornel Tol from the Headache, Pain, and Concussion Training Institute (HPCTI) delve into the intricacies of managing concussions and post-concussion symptoms. They advocate for using the term "prolonged post-concussion symptoms" over "mild traumatic brain injury" to reduce the nocebo effect associated with the latter. The discussion highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary and biopsychosocial approach in diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the significance of early intervention and patient education. Melvin and Cornel share insights into diagnostic criteria, the impact of framing on patient outcomes, and the gaps in current practices, particularly in the Netherlands. They stress the need for physiotherapists to be proactive in education and networking to bridge the knowledge gap in concussion management. The episode also touches on the neurophysiological aspects of concussion, the shortcomings of monodisciplinary approaches, and the potential of a treatable traits approach for better patient outcomes. Listeners are encouraged to rethink the role of physiotherapy and consider the broader implications of prolonged symptoms, including psychological and social factors. The episode provides practical advice for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals on how to improve their practice and patient care in the context of concussions. Guests Today's guests are Melvin Pitz and Cornel Tol from the HPC-TI — short for Headache, Pain & Concussion Training Institute.

Think your bloating is just about food? Your anxiety is just in your head? Your chronic constipation is just bad luck? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we dive deep into why your nervous system is literally the foundation of every single symptom you're experiencing - and why you can't heal anything long-term without addressing it first. From the 500-million-year evolution of our fight-or-flight response to why your body creates a "calcium shell" when you're chronically stressed, we're connecting dots that will completely shift how you approach your healing journey. Whether you've been spinning your wheels trying every supplement and protocol or you're just realizing that your "type A" personality might be keeping you sick, this conversation will give you the tools to finally address the root cause behind the root cause.   In this episode, you'll hear: 16:35 - Why your nervous system is literally responsible for your sensations, feelings, behaviors, thoughts, and how you perceive the world 19:12 - The shocking truth: your nervous system has been around for 500 million years and scans every present moment against past experiences 21:34 - Breaking down the autonomic nervous system: sympathetic (fight/flight) vs parasympathetic (rest/digest) and why you need both 32:48 - The bi-directional gut-brain connection: why 80% of communication flows from body to brain, not the other way around 37:10 - Why talk therapy stops working 39:29 - The brutal signs your nervous system is dysregulated 56:50 - Why nervous system work isn't a one-time fix   Key Takeaways: Your nervous system's only job is to keep you safe - when it feels threatened, it shuts down everything non-essential (digestion, detox, reproduction, healing) You can't out-supplement a dysregulated nervous system - the root cause of most chronic symptoms is energetic, not nutritional Most people are addicted to chaos because their nervous system finds the familiar "unsafe" safer than the unfamiliar calm Simple awareness practices like honoring your basic needs (hunger, thirst, bathroom breaks) are the foundation of nervous system healing Nervous system work requires daily tending like a garden - some days you just peek out the window, other days you spend hours weeding and watering   Resources: Kate (Osteopath) - https://www.dynamichealinginc.ca/ FREE Nervous System Tool Kit - https://bit.ly/nervous-system-toolkit   Want more from us?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection passed on to humans by infected ticks. Symptoms can range from fatigue, joint pain and a circular shaped rash to facial paralysis and heart arrythmia. According to a British Medical Journal (BMJ) global health review, Lyme disease has likely infected about one in 10 people across the globe. Recently, pop star Justin Timberlake went public about contracting the condition. If treated quickly, most people will recover but there are still issues around diagnosing and treating Lyme disease. And globally, cases are on the rise. In this edition of The Inquiry, Charmaine Cozier explores what's behind the increase and hears about new tests and vaccines currently being developed.

In this bonus episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I sat down with LTAP™ Level 1 alum and fellow athletic trainer, Jen Tirillo (aka JT the AT), owner of Concentric Care and Wellness in Connecticut.With over 20 years of experience in athletic training, plus certifications in yoga, strength training, and more Jen shares her journey of stepping outside the traditional sports medicine “box” and finding a system that finally made everything click.We talk about:Why she was drawn to LTAP™ after years of feeling like something was missing.How shifting from chasing symptoms to a whole-systems assessment approach has given her clients results that stick.The power of validating what patients already know to be true about their bodies.A case story of a veteran whose decades of pain shifted when unseen layers of her history were revealed.How LTAP™ integrates with other trainings, like the Missy Bunch neurology mentorship, and why it's not just “another tool” but a framework that makes all tools more effective.The importance of reps, trust in your hands, and doing the personal work as a practitioner to truly support clients.Whether you're in private practice, working with athletes, or just curious about bringing a more whole-human approach into your clinical care, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.Ready to join the REVolution?

Nothing motivates treatment quite like pain. We want it to stop. Too often, when the pain has past, we are not motivated to continue the important work of personal growth that lies beneath the pain. In this episode of Breaking Bread, Ted Witzig Jr explains the hope that lies beyond symptom reduction.   Show notes:  Symptom reduction is only half of the journey to health. There are four questions that point to the important second half of the journey...a journey worth finishing.  Is my predominant outlook on life joy?  Are my relationships healthy and satisfying?  Is my relationship with God unhindered and growing?  Do I know what my spiritual gifts and talents are and am I actively engaged in using them?  Answers to these questions lead us to important spiritual, relational, psychological and physical growth.  

Send us a textWhat if cancer could be detected years before symptoms ever appear? In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks sits down with Dr. Yuxuan Wang, cancer researcher at Johns Hopkins, to discuss her team's promising work on multicancer early detection (MCED) blood tests.These ultra-sensitive sequencing tests can spot tiny fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the blood. In their recent study, the MCED test flagged early cancer signs in 8 out of 26 participants who were later diagnosed — half of them more than three years before their cancer was picked up clinically. While still experimental and not FDA-approved, this research points to a future where cancer screening might extend well beyond mammograms and colonoscopies.In this episode, we cover:Dr. Wang's journey into cancer research and what inspired her focus.What multicancer early detection (MCED) blood tests are and how they work.How the Johns Hopkins study was designed and what the key results showed.Which cancer types were detected and what limitations still exist.Challenges such as false positives, incidental findings, and overtreatment risks.The ethical and practical questions of telling patients they may have cancer years before symptoms.Cost and accessibility concerns: how to make such tests affordable if approved.Next steps toward larger trials, FDA approval, and clinical use.How MCED could change the landscape of cancer screening and prevention in the future.Balancing public enthusiasm, media attention, and scientific caution.This is a fascinating and nuanced conversation about the possibilities, and challenges, of catching cancer earlier than ever before.You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health crises, and a recent shooting.In this profoundly important episode, Bethany Lewis speaks with Laura Dyer about the tragic loss of her brother, Greg, due to CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). Laura, a registered nurse and healthcare leader,  shares their family's difficult journey, from Greg's successful football career at the University of Utah to the onset of debilitating symptoms like paranoia, aggression, and psychosis that were misdiagnosed for years as mental illness.They delve into what CTE is, how it differs from a single concussion, and why it can only be diagnosed posthumously. Laura provides crucial insights from the forefront of CTE research, including the critical role of sub-concussive hits, the stages of the disease, and the ongoing work of the Concussion Legacy Foundation.This conversation is a powerful call for awareness, compassion, and change. While the topic is heavy, Laura emphasizes hope—hope for future diagnostics, hope for better player safety, and hope for individuals and families navigating similar challenges today. If you or a loved one has a history of contact sports or repetitive head trauma, this episode is an essential listen.SummaryThis episode provides a comprehensive and heartfelt exploration of CTE through the personal story of Laura Dyer and her brother, Greg. Key points discussed include:What is CTE? CTE is a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head trauma, including both concussions and, crucially, hundreds or thousands of sub-concussive impacts over years.Greg's Story: A talented football player, Greg began experiencing unexplained symptoms in his twenties, including hearing voices, extreme paranoia, impulsivity, and aggression. He was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder, as his football history was never considered a factor by treating physicians.The Diagnosis: CTE can currently only be diagnosed after death by examining brain tissue. Laura details the process of donating her brother's brain to Boston University for research and the relief and validation the subsequent diagnosis brought the family.Symptoms and Stages: CTE manifests differently; in younger individuals (20s-30s), it often appears as mental/behavioral issues (anxiety, depression, impulsivity), while in older individuals (50s+), it can resemble dementia. Greg was diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE.A Message of Hope and Action: Laura stresses that a CTE diagnosis is not a death sentence and that many people live full lives while managing symptoms. She urges anyone concerned—whether athletes or family members—to seek support, use available resources like the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and believe loved ones when they share what they are experiencing.Advice for Parents and Athletes: The key takeaway is to be aware of the risks of repetitive head trauma in contact sports, take head injuries seriously, and prioritize brain health. While football may not disappear, awareness and safety protocols are improving.Resources Mentioned:Concussion Legacy Foundation: https://www.concussionfoundation.org/ (Includes a helpline and resources for support)Boston University UNITE Brain Bank / CTE Center: https://www.bu.edu/cte/Podcast Episode with Dr. Diane Spangler on Mental Health & Concussion: Watch on YouTubeBethany's Free Guide: "The 5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Available at www.theconcussioncoach.comThe episode concludes with Laura's hope that Greg's legacy will be one of raising awareness and improving the lives of future athletes, emphasizing that support and resources are available for those who need them.

People can be our biggest tiggers. Opposing views and perspectives on issues that are dear to us feel dangerous. Symptoms flare when we repress our feelings to keep the peace. But the alternative—conflict—feels unsafe too. How do we walk that tightrope, honoring our need for authenticity and belonging? Differing ideas & opinions are everywhere — family, friends, online. We have two default options: Repress/avoid → peace outside, conflict inside → symptoms. Explode/confront → release inside, rupture outside → unsafe.

Misery is manufactured and dark forces continue to profit from it. But our light does not die. Let's root ourselves in truth. It will always outlast the empire of lies. The kingdom of God is not confusion, but clarity. In Syria, a one time terrorist is now a statesman. When governments play with human lives. The Spiral Case. Inuit population control from Denmark in the 90's. Implants for twelve year olds. Zero informed consent. Considered too stupid. Compensation is in process. Implementing the eugenics book. Add an extra zero to the numbers. Trump is pressuring them. Child health care at it's worst. Scary similarities to the Covid policies. It's almost like colonialism. Oh, and we funded Smartmatic in Venezuela. A history of USA overthrow policy. Are there voices bold enough to speak out? A historical Syrian speech at the UN. Operation Cyclone is the precedent. It was dripping everywhere with everything. Israel has other plans. It's not just Gaza. Iran nukes are now in play. The status of our assets is constantly changing. Ireland is in the censorship news. Sometimes in intelligence, the environment is the message. Always take the high level and skeptical view. Those skills will serve us all very well in the future.
