Disordered eating is sadly a common co-occurring symptom of ADHD. Many of us have gone through decades of not understanding why we have battled with these challenges, and then after we receive a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis, we're able to understand why it presented itself. This is a powerful conversation that focuses on how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.This week's guest is Thomas Midgley, a behavioural and cognitive psychotherapist (CBT) and dietitian specialising in eating disorders.Having worked in the field for more than 18 years, Thomas has a deep understanding of the delicate balance between body image, emotional health and the challenges neurodivergent people face when it comes to disordered eating.Kate and Thomas spoke about:Disordered eating vs eating disorders: why these important distinctions matter – especially for anyone with ADHD or autism.Emotional regulation in recovery: how emotional regulation plays a vital part in preventing and treating eating disorders.Compassionate therapy: how DBT and compassion-focused therapy support emotional wellbeing and recovery.Parenting and emotional resilience: how parents can balance validation and resilience when raising neurodivergent children.Neurodivergence and eating disorders: the connection between ADHD and autism and the increased risk of eating disorders.Compassion in treatment: How compassionate, non-judgmental therapy helps us understand and manage our emotions effectively.Timestamps:The difference between disordered eating and eating disorders (2:08)Neurodivergence and eating disorders (4:51)The importance of Emotional Regulation in understanding and treating eating disorders (7:12)Balancing validation and building resilience in parenting (22:59)The Role of Compassion in treatment (30:14)Connect with Thomas via his website, thebodyimagetreatmentclinic.co.ukResources MentionedIf you or someone you know is struggling with eating disorders and wants neuro inclusive support, start with these websites:www.beateatingdisorders.org.ukwww.firststepsed.co.ukwww.bodyimageclinic.co.ukwww.twomorebeenthere.comLook at some of Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here.Save 15% on supplements from The Herbtender, using code kate15Kate Moryoussef is a women's ADHD Lifestyle & Wellbeing coach and EFT practitioner who helps overwhelmed and unfulfilled newly diagnosed ADHD women find more calm, balance, hope, health, compassion, creativity, and clarity.

Today, I'm joined by Thomas, a Behavioural and Cognitive and Compassion focused Psychotherapist as well as a Highly Specialised Eating Disorders Dietitian.  For over 20 years Thomas has been working in the NHS and/or Private sector with both adolescents and adults in the fields of Eating Disorders, Personality Disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and Complex Trauma. We explore how long-term, sustainable recovery requires looking beyond just the physical symptoms like weight gain and BMI restoration. True recovery involves addressing the underlying psychological factors—something that often gets overlooked. Together, we'll discuss the importance of understanding the embedded beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and triggers that need to be considered for a more holistic approach to recovery.Tom offers his insights into the complexity of body image, explaining how it's shaped by a web of interrelated factors. For many, body image is dominated by an inescapable inner critic—constantly reinforced by toxic cultural messages that equate self-worth with appearance. These external pressures only magnify the struggle. So, we discuss the importance of untangling these deeply ingrained thought patterns and gaining clarity on the underlying motives driving them. Tom stresses the need for a personalised approach—working with patients in a way that aligns with their unique values and beliefs. This tailored strategy not only helps them gain insight into their thought processes but also equips them with the skills and resources needed to cope more effectively and sustain long-term recovery.We examine the characteristics often associated with eating disorders—such as perfectionism, unrelenting standards, and a drive for achievement. These traits can exacerbate disordered eating tendencies in the pursuit of validation and self-worth.But as Tom points out, the goal isn't to eliminate these traits; it's to leverage them in a healthier way. These same traits, when redirected, can fuel recovery. This is something I relate to personally - my determination and stubbornness took me to a dark place with my anorexia, but they were also the very traits that powered my recovery. We talk about how to channel that energy into something positive and constructive, transforming what once fueled the disorder into a source of strength.thebodyimagetreatmentclinic.co.uk

Just a couple years after Thomas Midgley, Jr. invented leaded gas in the 20s, he followed up that achievement by inventing chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which were sold by Du Pont under the brand name of Freon. The crown jewel of his work was the creation of Dichlorodifluoromethane, or CFC-12. This substance allowed for more people to experience the wonders of electric food refrigeration as well as indoor air conditioning. For over 40 years everyone assumed the Freon was perfectly safe, and in fact safer than other chemicals used in refrigeration. It wasn't until the 1970s, years after Midgley had died, that the horrible truth was discovered: CFCs were eating away at the Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a region in the stratosphere that absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light, which otherwise would potentially damage life. The deterioration of this protective layer threatened all life on earth with increased risk of cancer and other ecological problems. People realized the extent of the damage in 1985 when it was discovered that there was a massive hole in the Ozone layer above the Antarctic. This emergency situation led in 1987 to the creation of an international treaty called The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Because of this agreement, which was signed by all of the members of the United Nations and has an extremely high compliance rate, climate projections indicate that the ozone layer will return to 1980 levels between 2040 and 2066. One possible apocalypse averted because of global cooperation. This is the story of one guy who just wanted to make money for himself and the companies he worked for (specifically Frigidaire, General Motors, and DuPont), and how his second big invention eventually forced the entire world to pull off a massive effort to avoid global ecological disaster.

When we think of good and evil the picture appears obvious. The side of good is attractive, righteous and persuasive while the bad side is ugly, flawed and fallible. But does the way we intuitively expect good and evil to work line up with how it is portrayed in popular fiction and the arts? Are literature and film teaching us that might is right or is something else at play? In this week's episode, we discuss baddies with special guest Jamie Lear. We speak about Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Thomas Midgley, consequentialism and deontological philosophy, Rousseau and Hobbes and Nick presents a taxonomy for good and evil. Finally, we reveal our favourite fictional baddies.

Leaded gasoline could not have become a universally-used commercial product without an enforcer. Someone who was dedicated to protecting the status quo position that leaded gasoline was safe to use and not a threat to the general public. And that enforcer was named Dr. Robert Kehoe. In 1925 he was appointed chief medical consultant of the Ethyl Corporation and remained in the post until his retirement in 1958. Though he continued to fight for leaded gasoline after that and he lived until the 1990s. Thomas Midgley, Jr. might be the one responsible for inventing leaded gasoline. But Robert Kehoe is the one responsible for protecting industry from uncomfortable questions about lead so that it could be used as long and widely as it was. Until the 1960s, the only studies of the use of tetraethyl lead were funded by the lead, gas, and car industries and carried out by Robert Kehoe. REFERENCES Brown, Oliver W.

This year, 2023, marks the hundredth anniversary since chemical engineer Thomas Midgley, Jr. made the discoveries that led to the invention of leaded gasoline. Of all the many harms that the automobile has caused the environment and humanity over the last century, the effects of leaded gasoline have to be pretty close to the top of the list. Science and industry were well aware of the dangers of lead in the 1920s. But adding small amounts of it to motor fuel made internal combustion engines work better, and that made it possible to turn the automobile into a viable mass market product. As a result, pretty much every American born between 1960 and 1980 was, to some extent, poisoned by lead. In this episode, bestselling author Steven Johnson joins Aaron Naparstek to talk about Midgley, his legacy, and what his story can teach us about our technological inventions and their future consequences.   ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive access to ad-free versions of all our episodes, exclusive bonus content and stickers.*** This episode is produced with support from Cleverhood.

No começo do século passado, um homem chamado Thomas Midgley revolucionou a indústria automotiva. Na época, ele trabalhava para uma empresa de engenharia que prestava serviço para a General Motors. Midgley descobriu que, ao adicionar uma pequena quantidade de chumbo na gasolina, os motores ganhavam muito em potência e em eficiência, e quebravam menos. A descoberta permitiu carros maiores e mais confortáveis. Ajudou a criar os Estados Unidos das autoestradas e a moldar o fascínio do mundo inteiro pelos automóveis. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, envenenou o planeta com um metal pesado e nocivo à saúde humana. Anos mais tarde, ainda trabalhando para a GM, Midgley fez outra descoberta que revolucionaria a indústria. Ele foi o primeiro a usar o gás clorofluorcarbono na refrigeração. Os carros ganharam aparelhos de ar-condicionado, as casas ganharam geladeiras mais seguras e a humanidade ganhou latinhas de aerosol. Como consequência, o céu sobre a Antártica ganhou um buraco na camada de ozônio que tornou o câncer de pele e outras doenças mais comuns. A partir das invenções de Thomas Midgley, este episódio reflete sobre o impacto muitas vezes nocivo que nossas invenções causam no planeta. E sobre a postura da humanidade diante de questões atuais, como as mudanças climáticas provocadas pelo aquecimento global.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: James Lovelock (1919 – 2022), published by Gavin on November 30, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The real job of science is trying to make science fiction come true. Britain's greatest mad scientist died recently at 103. We'll get to his achievements. But I can't avoid mentioning the 'Gaia hypothesis', his notorious metaphor gone wrong that the Earth is in some sense a single organism whooaa. But him being most famous for this is like thinking Einstein's violin playing was his best stuff. Lovelock was raised as a Quaker, to which he credits his independent thinking (he was a conscientious objector in WWII). Also: "His family was poor, too poor to pay for him to go to university. He later came to regard this as a blessing because it meant he wasn't immediately locked into a silo of academia. Somehow, he created an education for himself, taking evening classes that led, when he was 21, to the University of Manchester." He quit work and left academia forever in 1964, instead running a one-man "ten foot by ten foot" lab from his garden in the West Country, living off consulting work for NASA, Shell, HP, and MI5 and royalties from 40 inventions. Chromatography, &, modern environmentalism By far his biggest coup was building the electron capture detector in 1957 during his second PhD, the world's most sensitive gas chromatograph (way of detecting chemicals in air). When Lovelock first developed the ECD, the device was at least a thousand times more sensitive than any other detector in existence at the time. It was able to detect chemicals at concentrations as low as one part per trillion—that's equivalent to detecting a single drop of ink diluted in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. He became curious about what the visible air pollution he saw was due to. He picked the notorious CFCs just because they were conspicuous, becoming the first person to notice the global consequences of Thomas Midgley's almighty fuckup fifty years earlier. (CFCs later turned out to be the cause of the hole in the ozone layer, i.e. millions of skin cancer causes.) He went to Antarctica in person, "partially self-funded" to check if they were there too, because why not. He screwed up the interpretation though, writing in Nature "the presence of these compounds constitutes no conceivable hazard". The ECD revolutionised atmospheric chemistry and so the study of air pollution, still one of the more important causes of premature death. On the lawn of the house peacocks strut and mew; a pair of barn owls have built their nest above the Exponential Dilution Chamber, a sealed upper room that was built in order to calibrate the Electron Capture Device. In the garden stands an off-white baroque plaster statue: the image of Gaia. The device was so sensitive that it showed traces of pesticides in animal tissues all over the world, including DDT. Since that led to Silent Spring, he probably helped along the perverse return of organic farming and the anti-chemicals paranoia of the second half of the C20th. Not that he was ever one of those: Too many greens are not just ignorant of science, they hate science... [Environmentalism is like a] global over-anxious mother figure who is so concerned about small risks that she ignores the real dangers. I wish they would grow up [and focus on the real problem]: How can we feed, house and clothe the abundant human race without destroying the habitats of other creatures? Some time in the next century, when the adverse effects of climate change begin to bite, people will look back in anger at those who now so foolishly continue to pollute by burning fossil fuel instead of accepting the beneficence of nuclear power. Is our distrust of nuclear power and genetically modified food soundly based? Later, he was notable for sounding the retreat (humans should start leaving c...

Thomas Midgley's inventions caused his own death, hastened the deaths of millions of people around the world, and very nearly extinguished all life on land.  Midgley and his employers didn't set out to poison the air with leaded gasoline or wreck the ozone layer with CFCs - but while these dire consequences were unintended... could they have been anticipated?

Michael is joined by Alan Howe, The Australian Newspaper History and Obituaries editor, about Thomas Midgley, the brilliant scientist whose invention one hundred years ago killed millions, caused young men to become violent, lowered the IQ of the world and almost ruined the planet. This year marks a century since the American Chemical Society awarded Midgley its Nichols Medal for developing a compound that prevented the knocking in internal combustion engines. He called it Ethyl. The world called it lead, which had been known for millennia to be a deadly poison.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thomas Midgley erfand die FCKWs und das Blei im Benzin. Wäre wohl besser gewesen wenn er Maler geworden wäre...

In Folge 46 geht es um Dreck. Nachdem wir festgestellt haben, dass wir gerade nicht wirklich erholt sind, erzählt Florian kurz von einer enormen Sonneneruption. Danach geht es um Weltraummüll und davon, dass zuviel unnötiges Zeug in der Umlaufbahn rumfliegt. Und wenn es blöd läuft, ist bald so viel davon da, dass der erdnahe Weltraum unbenutzbar wird. Unsere Atmosphäre haben wir hier auf der Erde auch schon ziemlich zugemüllt. Mit CO2, aber auch mit FCKWs, die das Ozonloch verursacht haben. Das haben wir halbwegs in den Griff bekommen, aber wenn etwaige Aliens ähnlich verschwenderisch mit den FCKWs umgehen wie wir, dann könnten wir das theoretisch mit dem James-Webb-Weltraumteleskop beobachten. In den Fragen geht es u.a. um Neutronensterne und Teleskopkauf und mit Evi diskutieren wir in “Neues von der Sternwarte” darüber, ob auf der Uni früher alles besser war oder eher doch nicht.

Two of the twentieth century's worst technological innovations were leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons. Both were introduced by the same person, engineer Thomas Midgley.

Vídeo: https://youtu.be/sS8YlJp2OeY Los más optimistas dicen que en 2030 el 30 por ciento de los coches serán eléctricos… ¿Qué quiere decir esto? Muy fácil, que el 70 por ciento restante serán térmicos o tendrán motor térmico… Hemos hecho varios vídeos sobre motores revolucionarios o, al menos, innovadores. Y en este vídeo queremos hacer un repaso y una comparativa entre todos ellos. Ha habido varias etapas en la evolución de los motores. La primera revolución fue de la mano de algo tan sencillo como el carburador, que permitió usar combustibles menos volátiles… Hasta entonces, en los motores de combustión interna, se usaba gas… Pero la revolución técnica llegó de una gran olvidada: La gasolina o la nafta, como se llama en otros países. A Thomas Midgley se le ocurrió añadir un aditivo a la gasolina: El plomo. Y es que el plomo es un grandísimo lubricante… y revolucionó el mundo del automóvil. Una de las combinaciones que mejor están funcionando para conseguir reducir las emisiones, reales, pero sobre todo homologadas, son los híbridos y en especial, híbridos enchufables. Y estos coches requieren motores térmicos de tamaño reducido y que, según la tecnología utilizada, no requieren un rango de utilización tan flexible como el de motores térmicos sin ayuda eléctrica. Me explico. Un motor convencional que no tiene ayudas eléctricas en los momentos difíciles, por ejemplo, al arrancar o cuando se solicita la máxima potencia, debe tener buena potencia en bajos y un rendimiento decente. Pero si tiene esas ayudas, ni necesita tanta potencia en bajos ni tiene que ser tan potente. Vamos a ver que futuro se nos abre: 1. Distribución variable UniAir 2. Dos tiempos 3. INNengine 4. Koenigsegg Freevalve 5. Liquid Piston 6. Magnax: Flujo Axial. 7. Rotativo Wankel 8. Skyactiv de Mazda

Join in on the conversation around regenerative capitalism and if/how capitalism can be made regenerative by tweeting @volansjohn and @nori, and you will automatically be entered to win copy of John Elkington’s latest book, Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism!   Most of us are familiar with Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concept of a black swan: an unforeseen, adverse event with off-the-scale impact. But what if we were to flip this concept on its head? In his new book, John Elkington envisions a world where capitalism transforms to serve people and planet, where the black swan problems currently leading us to exponential breakdown are mitigated by green swan solutions taking us exponentially toward breakthrough.   John is an internationally recognized authority on corporate responsibility and sustainable development, bestselling author, and serial entrepreneur. He currently serves as Chief Pollinator at Volans, a future-focused business working at the intersection of the sustainability, entrepreneurship, and innovation movements. Today, John joins Ross and Paul to discuss his most recent book, Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism, and explain how a green swan differs from a black swan event in its potential for an exponentially positive impact.   John goes on to discuss the idea of regenerative capitalism, explaining why he doesn’t trust incumbents to lead the movement, how we can approach new ventures with a regenerative mindset, and why he suggests transforming the current system rather than scrapping capitalism altogether. Listen in for John’s insight around the unintended consequences of implementing new technologies, and find out what green swans might arise out of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Key Takeaways   [2:52] What John is trying to communicate through Green Swans Black swan = unexpected event, exponential negative impact Raise question re: exponentially positive trajectories   [5:52] How John defines a gray swan and a white swan Gray swans have massive negative impact but were foreseen White swan = template for anything with exponential impact    [8:27] John’s concept of regenerative capitalism Social movements must engage with markets + business Reprogram key parts of system to build resilience   [11:17] The potential for oil and gas to lead the movement Fundamental distrust of incumbents in old economic orders Reptilian instincts, try to undermine opposition   [13:49] Why we shouldn’t just get rid of capitalism Market activity gone on for thousands of years Reform with government, regulatory involvement   [15:57] How to start new ventures with a regenerative mindset Leverage approach of B Corp movement Requires transformation of financial market   [22:19] How a regenerative focus might heal the political divide Potential for transfer of wealth from urban to rural Still dispossessed by tech (automotive, dairy industries)   [25:57] Nori’s potential role in establishing regenerative capitalism Evolving ecosystem of likeminded companies Operate as standard setter of what is regenerative   [30:08] What we need to know about Thomas Midgley  Chemist/engineer with patents for leaded gasoline, freons Single organism who did most damage to planet   [33:26] How to cultivate leaders who put the community’s needs first Reach out to people don’t understand, make uncomfortable Develop ability to listen for weak signals of change   [36:25] What green swans may arise out of COVID-19 Commitment to air quality, places to walk and cycle Universal basic income (has own unintended consequences)   Connect with Ross & Paul    Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori on Patreon Nori Newsletter Email podcast@nori.com  Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   John’s Website John on Twitter Volans John Elkington on RCC EP028 Green Swans: The Coming Boom in Regenerative Capitalism by John Elkington The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Books by John Elkington People of the State of New York v.

Der findes mange skøre videnskabsmænd gennem tiden, der har opfundet nogle relativt nederen. Men måske er det Thomas Midgley der er deres ukronede konge. Midgley stod nemlig bag opfindelser som fx CFC-gasser - herunder Freon - og Blyholdig Benzin. Dermed er han et af de mennesker, der har haft størst negativ indflydelse på planetens ozon-lag. Faktisk blev det også en af hans egne opfindelser, der blev hans endeligt. Dette afsnit er optaget ved vores live-show på Hotel Cecil i København d. 1. marts 2020.

In questi giorni ricordiamo il cinquecentesimo anniversario della morte di Leonardo da Vinci, il venticinquesimo di Ayrton Senna e il trentesimo di Sergio Leone... che non è molto scientifico, ma ha comunque segnato il nostro modo di parlare, con i suoi film.Andrea e Giuliano commentano la notizia della misura della doppia cattura elettronica da parte dell'isotopo 124 dello xenon, misurata ai Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso da parte dell'esperimento XENON1T. Si tratta della misura della più lunga vita media mai osservata, ventimila miliardi di volte l'età dell'Universo!Parliamo di pneumatici con il nostro ingegnere di pista. Scopriamo insieme i segreti di uno degli oggetti su cui facciamo maggior affidamento nella vita di tutti i giorni, ma che spesso conosciamo solo superficialmente. In più ci facciamo anche due conti in tasca per capire cosa convenga comprare… che va beh scoprire i segreti, ma poi i soldi mica crescono sugli alberi.Torniamo in studio per parlare di scienziati sfigati, Alexander Bogdanov, inventore della trasfusione di sangue, Thomas Midgley, inventore della benzina al piombo e di Harry Daghlian e Louis Slotin fisici vittime del famigerato demon core.Chiudiamo questa puntata un po' dark con il fungo che trasforma le formiche in zombie: si tratta di Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, che infetta le formiche della specie Camponotus leonardi e ne prende il controllo, facendosi trasportare dove può proliferare al meglio. Per chi non si fa impressionare, c'è un video molto interessante qui.

Thomas Midgley, Jr was considered a genius of his time, but now we know better. NOTE: MOST WAS WRITTEN BY ROSS POMEROY FOR “REAL CLEAR SCIENCE”Thomas Midgley, Jr. was born on May 18, 1889 in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a quiet, comely river town 31 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. A curious, athletic, and affable lad, Thomas flourished under the tutelage of his inventor father. He would later attend Cornell University, where he received a degree in mechanical engineering. It was here that Thomas took to carrying a periodic table with him at all times, a tool that would prove much more useful to him than a mechanic's wrench. (more on the podcast)Sources - 1 2 3 4 5

Technological breakthroughs bring huge new opportunities, along with the challenge of new ways that things can go bad. Thomas Midgley, Jr. is not widely known outside of his area of expertise in the chemical industry, but his is a cautionary tale of a pattern that's been repeated too often throughout history, and is still going on. Rev. Bill Marchiony honors Dr. Midgley's birthday (May 18, 1889) and rejoice in the fact that he lived only 55 years - any longer and he might have completely wiped us out.
