Together, we explore the nuanced science behind heart health and how you can make smarter decisions to protect your cardiovascular system—starting today.We open by recognizing that heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women. While many of the six pillars of longevity—from exercise to stress reduction—play protective roles, today's episode zooms in on two powerful, sometimes polarizing topics: the role of diet in heart health and the value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans.Dr. Pearson shares how a personal brunch conversation with his wife challenged decades of low-fat dietary dogma, prompting his transformation into the "Skeptical Cardiologist." Here is a summary showing that dairy won't increase risk of cardiovascular disease. He recounts the We dive into the broader saturated fat debate, highlighting how different fat sources have varied effects on cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. While dairy fats may be benign or even beneficial, others—particularly those consumed in excess on paleo or keto diets—can raise LDL cholesterol substantially. Dr. Pearson discusses the Keto-CAD Study, which found that even lean, low-risk keto followers may build up arterial plaque if their LDL levels skyrocket.The conversation then shifts to the calcium heart or CAC scan, a non-invasive $100 screening test that quantifies calcified coronary artery plaque via CT imaging. While traditional risk calculators like the pooled cohort equations often fall short, CAC scoring offers a personalized look at actual plaque burden—critical since many heart attacks occur in people not flagged as high-risk. As Dr. Pearson explains, a high score doesn't mean you will need surgery. Instead, it's typically a cue for lifestyle and medication adjustments, not invasive procedures. He references the ISCHEMIA Trial, which found no benefit from stenting stable, asymptomatic patients over optimized medical therapy.We close with practical advice: talk to your doctor, especially if you have a family history or fall in that “borderline risk” zone where a CAC score might influence your care plan. And yes, it should be okay to keep enjoying that butter—as long as you're informed and mindful and don't overdue it.Takeaways: Full-fat dairy is not the enemy—it may even be heart-protective. If your LDL skyrockets on keto, that's a red flag worth addressing. CAC scans can personalize your prevention plan and offer peace of mind or a critical nudge toward action. Want more clarity on your own heart health journey? Talk with your doctor about whether a calcium scan makes sense for you and explore Dr. Pearson's writings on The Skeptical Cardiologist and MedPage Today.

Content note: perinatal suicidality In this episode Sophie speaks with midwife and Research Fellow Dr Laura Biggs, and CEO of PANDA Australia, Julie Borninkhof about the Making Sense of the Unseen partnership between the Stronger Futures CRE and the Murdoch Children's REsearch Institute, PANDA Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia, and James Cook University. In the episode you'll hear discussed key findings from ground-breaking research conducted by the team on experiences of perinatal suicidality, the first study of its kind ever to be carried out. Suicide is the leading cause of maternal death in Australia and other high-income countries and yet so far, we've known little about women's experiences of suicidality at this time in their lives. As discussed in this episode, the research identified that perinatal suicidality is driven by experiences of shame, and feelings of being disconnected and ‘defective' as a mother. We talk about how societal pressures and the perfect mother myth narrative profoundly impact women's mental health, and share stories from the research that demonstrate the profound importance of compassionate care and rehumanising relationships and care experiences for mothers. This episode is an especially important listen for all of those who work in healthcare and/or with mothers. We want to acknowledge the 139 women who shared their experiences of perinatal suicidality with the research team, as without their generosity, this research and this conversation on the podcast sharing these important findings would not be possible. … Episode webpage: https://drsophiebrock.com/podcast119 Connect with Laura on Twitter @l_biggs Follow PANDA on Facebook at facebook.com/pandanational and Instagram @pandanational Laura Biggs' email: laura.biggs@mcri.edu.au Learn more about Making Sense of the Unseen: https://www.strongerfutures.org.au/making-sense-of-the-unseen Read the journal article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10497323231164278 Support lines Australia - www.panda.org.au/ - 1300 726 306 @pandanational @lifelineaustralia @13yarn UK - pandasfoundation.org.uk/ - 0808 1961 776 USA - www.postpartum.net/ - Text “Help” to 800-944-4773 (EN) The EU/EEA - Mental health helpline - 116 123

Send us a textHelp me improve my podcast content by answering a few questionsTake the Health Type QuizResilience is crucial as we age, especially when it comes to maintaining muscle, joint, and bone health. In this episode, Dr. Bobby DuBois discusses how building physical reserves early on can help withstand inevitable changes and setbacks as we get older. Just like investing in an IRA, the earlier you start building your physical resilience, the better prepared you'll be for the challenges of aging.Dr. Bobby shares insights from his interview with Karen, who experienced a rapid decline in strength after a period of inactivity. Despite previous success with weight loss and fitness, Karen found herself struggling to lift groceries after weeks of illness and time away from the gym. Her story highlights the importance of maintaining muscle mass and staying active, even after setbacks.Key Points:The Impact of Inactivity: As we age, muscle loss accelerates. We can lose 1–2% of muscle mass per year after age 30, and inactivity can drastically speed up this decline. Strength exercises, even when started later in life, can still yield significant gains (study).Muscle Memory and Recovery: Muscle memory helps regain lost strength more rapidly than building it from scratch, but the recovery time lengthens with age. Karen's experience reinforces the importance of staying consistent, even when life gets in the way.Protecting Joints: Joint cartilage thins with age, increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. Contrary to popular belief, regular running does not inherently damage joints. However, previous injuries significantly raise the risk of osteoarthritis (study).Bone Health Maintenance: Bone density peaks around age 25 and gradually declines, especially after age 50. Engaging in weight-bearing and high-impact exercises can help preserve bone density. Heavy resistance training is especially beneficial for maintaining bone strength (study).Supplementing won't solve the problem:  Calcium/Vitamin D supplements don't seem to solve the problem. Practical Tips for Resilience:Keep your protein intake between 0.5 to 0.75 grams per pound of body weight to support muscle maintenance.Incorporate cross-training activities during periods of injury or illness to maintain fitness.Focus on exercises that build both muscle and bone density, such as resistance training and weight-bearing movements.Takeaways:Aging is inevitable, but weakness isn't. Building resilience through consistent exercise and strength training is crucial to maintaining independence and quality of life.Don't give up after setbacks—muscle memory and consistent effort can help you regain lost strength.Prioritize activities that strengthen both muscles and bones to minimize the impact of inactivity and age-related decline.Live long and well by staying resilient and proactive. Remember to keep moving, invest in your muscle and bone health, and stay committed to your fitness journey. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with others and rate the show!

Welcome to Episode 134 of the Think UDL podcast: Ask Me and Believe Me with Mickey Rowe. Mickey Rowe is an award winning best selling author and speaker. As an autistic and legally blind person, he believes that when we design for accessibility, we help others to perform at their best, and, as he says, that's not just for disabled folks. He is a Broadway actor, director, consultant and public speaker and was the first autistic actor to play Christopher Boone, the lead role in the Tony Award-winning play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He is a disability and accessibility advocate and his most recent speaking engagement is with TextHelp's open access conference Back to School Blockbuster: Lights, Camera, Educate! on September 18-19, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm EST. This is a free virtual conference designed just for educators. If you are listening to this episode after the synchronous online conference, all of the content is available on demand until the end of November and you can find a link to the Back to School Blockbuster conference on the ThinkUDL.org webpage under the resources section of this episode, and in the episode description. In today's conversation with Mickey, we talk about his experiences as a disabled student at the university level and what he and his professors did to manage the barriers that persisted while he completed his undergraduate degree. Mickey gives us all, students, instructors, administrators, and everyone else, some sound advice on how to reduce the friction but not the rigor of a college education. There are some easy choices and forward thinking designs that can help all of us along the way. I was able to catch Mickey at 6:30am his time in Seattle, Washington, and by the end of our interview his young school-aged children had joined us in the recording and made a brief appearance. You'll hear them, too!

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, we're featuring a profoundly moving episode with Kevin Hines, a Golden Gate Bridge survivor whose story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Kevin is a best-selling author, global public speaker, and award-winning documentary filmmaker. In the year 2000, he made a harrowing decision to end his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Miraculously, he is part of the nearly 1% that survived, thanks in part to a sea lion that kept him afloat until the Coast Guard arrived.In this deeply personal interview, Kevin opens up about his troubled childhood, the emotional turmoil that led him to the bridge, and the life-changing moments that followed his leap.
