Uterine cancer is the sixth most common cancer in women worldwide and the most common gynecologic cancer in high-income countries. Dr. Heather Williams from UAMS is here today to talk about some risk factors and what to look out for.

Podcast Description: In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Mueller and Manning-Geist to discuss molecular classification in ovarian preservation for uterine cancer. Jenny Mueller MD is a gynecologic oncologist and an associate attending in the department of surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  She leads the endometrial cancer research team at MSKCC with an emphasis on prospective, translational and collaborative efforts within and across institutions. Beryl Manning-Geist is a Gynecologic surgery fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and will be joining Emory University Division of Gynecologic Oncology in 2024 as an assistant professor. Her research focuses on how to leverage the molecular underpinnings of gynecologic cancers for tailored treatment. Highlights: -Patients with microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient or copy number-high/TP53abnormal endometrial cancer were at increased risk of concurrent ovarian disease. -The presence of lymphovascular space invasion and positive cytology were also associated with an increased risk of concurrent ovarian disease. -Integrating molecular tumor profiling with pathologic characteristics of disease may help to better risk stratify pre-menopausal patients with endometrial cancer for ovarian preservation.

"Faith is the refusal to panic." This quote by Dennis Rainey had a profound impact on Lori Margo as she walked through her difficult journey with cancer. Because her own mother had been diagnosed with cancer at the same age Lori received her first diagnosis and passed away two short years later, she had every reason to panic. But as she walked her own path, she realized that if you're going to believe the Bible, you've got to believe the whole Bible. After Lori finally beat her cancer, she lost her dad to the same horrible disease, and even though she told others God had been with her through that hard season, she began to question if that were actually true. So, she decided to start keeping track of God's goodness in the midst of pain. When she sat down to write she immediately came up with 30 instances of how God had been with her in the loss of her father. That started her on a quest to look for God in all of the difficult seasons in her life and she began what she now calls tracking God. She not only does it in her own life, but in her children's as well. And now she teaches others how to track God through their own hard stories. Lori is an inspiration of faith and hope and I know her story will point you in the direction of finding God in the hard, too. For shownotes go to CarolRoper.org/podcast

“As the acceptance of expanded human potential gains mainstream momentum, the question has shifted from “What is possible in our lives?” to “How do we do it? How do we awaken our extraordinary potential in everyday life?” Welcome to PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. On today's EPISODE #310 on "Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind" and PART 2 of our Review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we will cover:  ✔ 3 Important Concepts in Dr. Joe Dispenza's book,  Becoming Supernatural that have the ability to change YOUR life, when implemented. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 1:  Accessing the Present Moment IMPORTANT CONCEPT 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future IMPORTANT CONCEPT 3:  Elevated Emotion ✔ What science has to say about these timeless success principles? ✔ Strategies to IMPLEMENT these principles into our daily life for improved results. ✔ How to use our emotions FOR us, rather than AGAINST us. ✔ Why we must continue to learn more about WHO WE ARE for improved results ✔ How METACOGNITION (and our awareness of how we think, act and feel) creates AHA Moments of Learning in our daily life.  Today we will continue our exploration of how exactly we live up to the full potential we all have within us, or like the name of Joe Dispenza's book, Becoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon. Today as we cover PART 2 of this exploration we will identify clear strategies to awaken the extraordinary potential in each of us, and these will be evidence-based strtegies, that are proven with science.  Becoming Supernatural, is the first-of-its-kind manual that does precisely this: it leads us on a step-by-step journey to achieving our greatest potential in body, health, relationships, and our life purpose and allows us to make that journey at our own pace. We only cover ideas and concepts on this podcast that have the potential to change our lives, and I'm on a mission to connect the most current brain research to concepts that have been taught successfully to students for centuries, connecting the science to these age-old success principles. This book study has taken me some time to think, and consolidate what I'm learning since we released PART 1 the end of September. I needed this time to put Dr. Dispenza's ideas and meditations into practice, and have spent the past month immersed in his teachings. As mentioned in the first part of this study, this is a shallow dive, and is just the beginning. I do hope that our review today helps us to ALL unlock more of the mysteries within the unseen world, as we learn to put these concepts into practice in our daily life. I'm sure we will return to this episode in the future, but this is where we will start our journey today. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For those tuning into this episode, and you've not listened to EP 306[i] yet, I do encourage you to begin there. You will learn the background of where I first heard of Dr. Joe Dispenza, and how I was forbidden to cover his work on this podcast, since my neuroscience certification coach, researcher Mark Waldman, would consider his work pseudoscience. We covered how even Dr. Joe Dispenza himself used to worry about what other people in the scientific community thought of him, until he stopped. He said this himself at the start of Becoming Supernatural[ii] reminding me of the importance of always being your true, authentic self, and NEVER worry about those who criticize your work. He said: Until he saw how much of his “vital” energy he was wasting and went on to study with full force, a world that modern science hasn't been able to explain, how regular “common” people, like you and me, are actually doing the “uncommon.” Who is Dr. Dispenza? He's a doctor, a scientist, and a modern-day mystic who draws from diverse fields of rock-solid science, such as epigenetics, molecular biology, neurocardiology, and quantum physics, crossing the traditional boundaries that have separated scientific thinking and human experience in the past. In this process he opens the door to a new paradigm of empowerment—a new way of thinking and living based upon what we sense is possible in our lives, as well as what we accept as scientific fact. In PART 1 of our review of Becoming Supernatural, I shared that I had my own questions about Dr. Dispenza's work, especially after hearing about some of the results people were attaining during and after his seminars. Over the years, I would stop and listen to Joe Dispenza's work, remembering how he measured people's brains BEFORE his events, and then AFTER, and while I would say that to all the questions I had about his work, I knew the answers were a solid “YES” I just wondered what the research said. Can our current, present day thoughts impact our future? Can we impact our own health (and results for that matter) purely by what we think? Can my energy influence another person, and can someone else's energy influence mine? Can someone's energy be felt? Can our energy field be seen? “YES,  was the answer to each question, but how” I always wondered. While researching the tools that Dr. Dispenza used to measure participants' brains at his seminars, I came across one tool he called Gas Discharge Visualization, that I had heard of from someone who works in Singapore, connected to Bruce Lipton Ph.D , who is a cell biologist and leading authority in epigenetics.[iii] We'll cover Bruce Lipton's work at a later date, but it was this GDV tool that led me to the fascinating work of Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, that we covered on EP 307[iv], providing us with some answers to my questions of HOW and WHAT Dr. Dispenza was using to measure people's brains with at his events. As I said in PART 1 of this review of Dr. Dispenza's work, this is a shallow dive, not a deep one, that will just begin to scratch the surface of what it means for us to become Superhuman, and stretch ourselves beyond where our minds may never have travelled to before. Dr. Dispenza has made scientific history[v] with his findings (measuring HRV, or the energy around people's bodies) and his most recent breakthrough in scientific research includes his team's research paper that shows Meditations Impact on Immunity.[vi] I want to focus today on this particular angle with this groundbreaking research because my work with neuroscience began looking at the impact of stress on our brain as it relates to learning. You can go through some of our earlier episodes with Dr. Bruce Perry, or Dr. Lori Desautels, but what I'm most interested in today, that you can see with the direction of our podcast episodes since the Pandemic, is what we can do to mitigate the impact of stress on our health, wellbeing and longevity, in addition to creating the highest performing, 2.0 versions of ourselves. So for today's episode #310 “Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind” and PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we will pick up where we left off with Chapter 2 of Becoming Supernatural and look at how exactly a stressful situation can hurt us (mentally, physically and emotionally) or NOT. Chapter 2: The Present Moment We know that the way a person thinks and feels creates a person's state of well-being. We know this can be scientifically proven by Dr. Korotkov's GDV technology just by measuring the energy field of our finger tips and he can with accuracy, tell us what's going on inside that person's body (emotionally, psychologically) and then determine our relationship with this inner state to the outer world. Or in other words, what we THINK, on the inside, will show up on the outside. Dr. Korotkov explained that even animals respond to our thoughts, and know when we are approachable, or not, the minute we walk in through the front door of our homes. Why Do Our Emotions and Our Thoughts Matter? What exactly is it that our pets are sensing? This is where the iceberg model comes back into play. We could be consciously walking through the doorway, with the 5% of what's going on in our conscious mind radiating out to the world, but the 95% of what's going on under the iceberg, our unconscious habits, hardwired attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, perceptions, all functioning automatically, and that's what our pets are picking up. We dove deep into our conscious mind and our five senses on EP 293[vii] (looking the 5% of ourselves that can be seen and felt with our senses, and then what's beyond our five senses on EP #294[viii] looking into the faculties of our mind, and what's beneath the surface of the iceberg, or what's going on beyond our 5 senses. The difficult part, or the part where most of us become stuck, is HOW on the earth do we see what's happening in our subconscious mind, the part of us that's controlling 95% of who we are and what we do, if it's ALL under water, so to speak? LISTEN HERE…THIS IS THE KEY TO THIS WHOLE EPISODE Dr. Dispenza explains how an emotion hits our body (through our life situations-call whatever it may be), and causes some sort of emotional reaction. Maybe something happens to you in your personal life, and you hold negative emotions towards your ex-relationship, or it could be something in your work life, or it something random happens to you that changes your personality (puts you in a mood first, and over time changes your personality).  He says that we must learn to “shorten the refractory period of an emotional reaction” which is really where the work starts. What does this mean? So something happens to us, (and it will, no one is immune from life's situations unless we live and a cave) and we want to complain about it to everyone we know. We were wronged in some way. It feels horrible, trust me, I know! BUT resist doing this. Since we know from Dr. Korotkov's GDV tool, that our thoughts matter, we must be VERY careful about the thoughts we think. I'm not saying that we pretend something doesn't bother us, but listen to what Dr. Dispenza says. We must learn to “shorten the refractory period of our emotional reactions” because otherwise, we will repeat that same story over and over again in our head, and every time we do this, we flood our body with the same chemicals that were flooding our body when this event occurred, and since our body “is the unconscious mind, and doesn't know the difference between the experience that's creating the emotion (from the past) and the emotion you are creating through thought alone (in the present)”[ix] so in order to change our FUTURE results, we must to break this hard-wired programming. This is not easy, but it's the SECRET to changing your results in the future. If we look at the image in the show notes that I hand drew from Chapter 2 of Becoming Supernatural, you will see that if we cannot change, and break our hard-wired programming, we will re-create our past experiences into our future, and prevent us from EVER hitting that unknown event (whatever it might be-a new job, or unexpected experience) or something that could possibly take us to new heights. IMAGE CREDIT: Andrea hand drew the image from Chapter 2 Becoming Superhuman WHY IS CHANGE SO DIFFICULT? It's because it's uncomfortable and unfamiliar. It's always easy to blame someone else for your results, or a situation, but to take responsibility for it, let it go, and move forward, well that's not as easy. We are working with the 95% of us that's hidden under water here. These patterns and beliefs are hard-wired into our brain, so they are not easy to break. HOW EXACTLY DO WE STOP OUR PATTERNS AND PAST BEHAVIORS? We do this by staying in the present moment (which is the whole idea of Chapter 2) and STOP the thoughts and emotions that went along with whatever it was that happened to us. That emotional event that changed you somehow. This will stop your pattern of thinking. It's here that I bring in a diagram on Metacognition that I created in 2014 adapted from Dr. Newberg and Mark Waldman's “Spectrum of Human Consciousness Model.”  When we become consciously aware of how we think, act and feel, this is Metacognition and where we create AHA Moments of learning in our lives. Start at the bottom of the diagram: Instinctive Learning: Do you know yourself? Are you aware of the thoughts, feelings and actions you are having that might be keeping you stuck somewhere? If you've never explored this area, Hazel Gale's work from EP #308[x] is a good place to begin. Habitual Learning: Can you CHANGE the way you are used to thinking and feeling? Do something differently? Move forward instead of getting stuck? Intentional Learning: Can you set a goal to CHANGE something, and make this change stick? Instead of blaming someone for your results, take responsibility and move forward somehow? Creative Learning: Can you use meditation (which actually means to become familiar with thyself) to find some answers, learn something new, give you a new angle of outlook on your life? AHA Moment: What knowledge about yourself can you glean here? Did you see something NEW? Learn a new idea? Did you write it down and take action on it?  Jack Canfield would call this taking “inspired” action. This is METACOGNITION and is the key to peeling back the onion layers of yourself, and help you to deepen your understanding of who you are.   PUTTING THIS INTO ACTION: Chapter 2 Living in the Present Moment Remember it's not going to be easy. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM KNOW THYSELF: What happened to you? So something happened to us in our life (some sort of event) that caused an emotional reaction within us. This can be ANYTHING. If I think back to past guests, I know that my colleague Grace Reynolds[xi] experienced significant trauma in her life as a child (an event) that changed her life, until she did the hard work to heal herself from her traumatic life experiences.  This is now her life's work. I also can never forget Hans Appel[xii], a school counselor whose book, Award Winning Culture took off in schools across the country.  I remember while reading Hans' book, it was in the first few pages that he mentioned how he had a difficult childhood, and he talked about how the sound of his back door opening after school would make his skin crawl as he remembered the trauma that would occur for him in his life after school, urging him to spend more and more time at school, away from home. This is also now Hans' life's work to help others through traumatic events. These are two extreme cases an event that caused trauma, but an event could be anything that takes you from a positive, creative state of being (where our immune system functions well) to a stressful state of being, that we know scientifically down regulates certain genes and creates disease in our body. PRACTICE STAYING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT This will prevent us from unconsciously slipping back into our OLD self. Dr. Dispenza does have meditations[xiii] that can assist with staying present, and with time, helping us to automatically live in the present moment, and shortening that “refractive period” of the emotional experiences that happen to us. BEFORE I sent ANY of you to Dr. Dispenza's website, I have to say that I first found out about his meditations by chance. After our episode of HRV[xiv], someone (a male) wrote to me on social media that he had raised his HRV significantly with Dr. Dispenza's “Courageous Heart Meditation.” We will talk about the benefits of this meditation a bit later, but I have to tell you here that I looked up this meditation, and listened to it, and thought “there is NO way I could ever listen to that!” It was so far away from what I was used to with Vishen Lakiani's calm and quiet voice, or Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness. This meditation opens up like a lion roaring, with this voice, (Joe Dispenza) yelling at me to “sit down, and open my heart.” The first time I listened to it, I turned it off after probably 30 seconds. This would not relax me, but stress me out. It wasn't until I understood the purpose of the meditation and what it was actually designed for (to help men to open their hearts that I was finally open enough to begin listening to this meditation, and some others, every day, to finally see their benefits that has to do with developing a coherent heart and brain. Go to Joe Dispenza's website and check out his mediations for yourself. https://drjoedispenza.com/ Over time, and some introspection, I promise you will begin to see yourself in a whole new light which is the meaning behind the word “meditation” which means to “know thyself.” This brings us to the next concept I think is important to note with Becoming Supernatural. Chapter 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future So what happens to the health of our body if we have an “event” in our life that causes us to have some sort of negative, emotional charge? Dr. Dispenza explains the need of “staying in the present moment” and recognizing when something could possibly impact our future (health or results) with his interview with Tom Bilyeu[xv]. If our thinking creates our environment (Bob Proctor would say “our thoughts, feelings and actions would determine our results or our conditions, circumstances and environments.”) then in order to change something we don't like, we have to either change our thinking, or change our environment, to get new results. Wayne Dyer would say “if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” MENTAL REHEARSAL: There are many examples in Dr. Dispenza's book of people who changed their health, purely by changing their thoughts. I've heard of many people over the years who have used “mental rehearsal” to heal their bodies and keep them strong in the future. My Mom shared with me that she did this when she was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer, we talked about this in our Review of The Silva Method, and I heard woman's story[xvi] that I'll link in the show notes that's by far the most compelling story I've ever heard. She healed her body from watching Dr. Dispenza on Tom Bilyeu's interview we mentioned above. IMAGE CREDIT: Andrea hand drew the image from Chapter 2 Becoming Superhuman PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE: I asked Dr. Korotkov at the end of EP 307 what he thinks we should all be doing, every day, to raise our own vibration/consciousness as well as the collective consciousness of those around the world, and I'll never forget his answer. He said that we should find a way to balance our chakras, and said there are many meditations out there (Joe Dispenza, or search on the internet).  This is the very first step towards balancing our mind, body and spirit and move towards to the many known benefits that daily meditation provides. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM Do you know yourself? When you are meditating are you learning something about yourself? Do you notice anything happening? Can you notice ANY benefits from your practice? This was the reason why I decided to cover The Silva Method[xvii] on our podcast, because I wanted to take my meditation practice to new heights. Then learn from the work that Dr. Dispenza has done over the years. He reminds us: Protect yourself from the harmful effects of stress on your body. Imagine your energy field shrinking when you are living in survival mode, and find a way to the other side. Meditation alone can be the answer to helping you back towards health. Since Dr. Dispenza has measured so many participants with the effects of his meditations, I would have to say that I highly recommend them, especially after noticing what they have done to help me personally while listening to them. All Chapters: Elevated Emotion This last concept I noticed the most after listening to Dr. Dispenza's meditations for some time. He says that “they recorded amazing changes in HRV (heart rate variability) which is what that person told me on social media. Dispenza says “this is when we know a student is opening their heart and maintaining elevated emotions like gratitude, inspiration, joy, kindness, appreciation and compassion, which cause the heart to beat in a coherent fashion—that is with rhythm, order and balance.”  This is the important part. I think we can all say it's important to be happy, and joyful (rather than dwelling on the negative parts of our day) but it also “takes a clear intention, (a coherent brain) AND an elevated emotion (a coherent heart) to begin to change a person's biology from living in the past to living in the future.” There is clear evidence that we are “bound by an invisible field of light” (Dispenza) and have tremendous power that can influence ourselves and others. Dr. Dispenza was measuring the internal changes with his tools and this “feedback” was letting that person know they were on the right track and should keep doing what they were doing.  We learned all about neurofeedback on our last episode with Dianne Kosto. When you create heart coherence, your heart (he says) “creates a magnetic field that projects beyond your body.” What you DO with this energy is important. You can use it for yourself (whatever it is you are working on) or you can project it out in the world to help others. PUTTING THIS INTO PRACTICE: I wouldn't go anywhere other than the Courageous Heart Meditation[xviii] to elevate your emotions. You can find this meditation on YouTube, but if you find the ads distracting, just buy it for $25 from Dr. Dispenza's website. You'll access 37 minutes of pure bliss every day, that will help you to tune into love, joy, kindness and compassion. You'll change your world, as well as add to the collective consciousness of the rest of the world. START WITH INSTINCTIVE LEARNING: THE FIRST STEP IN THE METACOGNTION DIAGRAM Do you know yourself? As you begin to find ways to open your heart, just be open. I didn't think it would be possible to open my heart up more but I was open to what I would notice, and I know since listening to this meditation my heart has now open up to a whole new level.  Once we can get to this place, where we are in the present moment, we've mentally rehearsed the future we want to create, we've embraced emotions (like joy, peace, appreciation, and love) in our heart, our heart and brain now gain coherence, and this is where it happens, we can connect to the quantum field (where all possibility exists), where time and space collapses and you can literally BECOME your dream. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION: To review and conclude episode #310 “Decoding Our Thoughts: How to Build a Better Future with the Power of Our Mind” and PART 2 of our review of Dr. Joe Dispenza's work, we covered 3 topics and used the METACOGNITION diagram as a guide to deepen our understanding of who we are in this process. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 1: Was About Accessing the Present Moment I said that this was the most important part of this episode. We learned how an emotion hits our body (through our life situations-call it whatever it may be), and this causes some sort of emotional reaction. Maybe something happens to you in your personal life, and you hold negative emotions towards your ex-relationship, or it could be something in your work life, or something random happens to you that changes your personality (puts you in a mood first, and over time changes your personality).  We learned of the importance of shortening “the refractory period of an emotional reaction” which is really where the work starts. If we don't do this, holding in this negative emotion can impact our physical and mental health, and we know this to be scientifically true, with Dr. Korotkov's GDV technology. We learned how to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of stress on our body and imagining our energy field shrinking when we are living in survival mode. Meditation alone can be the answer to helping you back towards health and even Dr. Andrew Huberman[xix] talks about this important strategy from a purely scientific angle. We can go back to our early episode with Dr. Daniel Siegel[xx] where he talks about the healing benefits of his Wheel of Awareness Meditation that we also covered in depth on a later EP 60[xxi], The Science and Benefits Behind Dr. Siegel's Wheel of Awareness Meditation.  Just a reminder of some of the health benefits Dr. Siegel mentioned, they are RIGHT on track with Dr. Dispenza's findings. There's an integration of structure and function of the brain (integration means well-being). There's a reduction of the stress hormone cortisol. There's an enhancement of immune function. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors. Reduction in inflammation via epigenetic changes. An optimization of telomerase—which is fascinating as it repairs and maintains the ends of chromosomes and slows aging. I'll leave it up to you with WHAT meditation tool you use, but I do highly encourage trying Dr. Dispenza's meditations, in additions to the ones I talk about often on this podcast.   IMPORTANT CONCEPT 2:  Mental Rehearsal: Priming Your Body for a New Future We learned how to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of stress on our body with the importance of being able to use mental rehearsals by imagining our energy field shrinking when we are living in survival mode, and finding a way to the other side, creating a NEW future in our mind first. We reviewed how meditation alone could be the answer to helping us back towards health, and creating a new future. We don't need to look far for the research behind this concept as it's been used for decades in the sports industry. Dr. Andrew Huberman covered it on an episode called Science-Based Mental Training and Visualization for Improved Learning[xxii] as well as his episode on How to Learn Skills Faster[xxiii] that we have covered in the past. IMPORTANT CONCEPT 3:  Elevated Emotion We learned from Dr. Dispenza, who is by far the leading expert on this concept, that a student who is opening their heart and maintaining elevated emotions like gratitude, inspiration, joy, kindness, appreciation and compassion, which causes the heart to beat in a coherent fashion creating order and balance” can take themselves to the quantum field, where ALL possibilities exist. Remember that diagram with the unforeseen event that happens in the future, it's not happening by chance or luck. I know we all know on some level that it's important to be happy, and joyful (rather than dwelling on the negative parts of our day) but it also “takes a clear intention, (a coherent brain-or the idea that if our brain is working right, then we will work right) AND an elevated emotion (a coherent heart) to begin to change a person from living in the past to living in that place where ALL possibilities exist. This is the way to create a beautiful future, and we can ALL do this, when we can learn to live these 3 important concepts on a daily basis. This last one, the only way I know how to do this, or explain this with the highest level of confidence, is through Dr. Dispenza's Courageous Heart Meditation. He explains How to Feel Elevated Emotions You've Never Felt Before[xxiv] by learning to set a clear intention (of what you want) with a heart centered emotion (gratitude, love, or joy) and know that you can CAUSE an effect in the FUTURE with the power of your intention, connected to the positive emotion you have created.  I can say that nothing I have ever experienced is like the minute I turned on the Courageous Heart Meditation. I mentioned it wasn't the first time I listened to it. It took me some time from reading Becoming Supernatural to trust that Dr. Dispenza has created something that I've never seen or felt before, and was open to trying it out.  Learning what it feels like to have a coherent heart and brain. To feel his music pulsating through me as he reminds me to “sit down” and open my heart. The love I feel while listening to this meditation is beautiful as I learn to feel with an open heart, and trust/balance my heart and brain. Only now, that I've truly started on the pathway to implementing these 3 important concepts in my daily life, am I confident that the future I envision on the screen of my mind is not only possible, but it's probable, as I watch events occur daily that most people would say are impossible, or that they are happening by chance or luck. We know this is not the case. It starts with living in the present moment (not the past) or worrying about the future but just living, mentally rehearsing the future, with elevated emotion… And then watch the magic happen.  With 100% certainty I can tell you if you can master these 3 principles on a daily basis, it will change your life, literally!  I'll close with the quote I opened up our most downloaded episode with, The Silva Method, from Jose Silva that “once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method.

Principles Of Preventing Endometrial Uterine Cancer (Corresponding to Video # 331)  Did you know that there are principles for preventing endometrial uterine cancer? Not only that; they are based heavily on the cause and risk factors for the disease. So, what do you think those principles entail? In this podcast tutorial, I'll school you on them.

Prognosis of Endometrial Uterine Cancer (Corresponding to Video # 330)  You don't hear women talk much about endometrial uterine cancer. And you definitely don't hear them talk about your prognosis after having it. Why is that? And what is your prognosis? This podcast will help you understand what prognosis entails generally and what it is for endometrial uterine cancer specifically

Treatment of Endometrial Uterine Cancer & Pre-Cancer (Corresponding to Video # 329)  What kind of treatment would you expect if you had endometrial uterine cancer? What would be different about treatment if it were only pre-cancer? Do you know what determines treatment? In this podcast tutorial, I'll teach you the different treatments for the different stages of endometrial cancer and pre-cancer. And I promise it will be more of a treat than a trick.

Grading & Staging of Endometrial Uterine Cancer (Corresponding to Video # 328)  Do you know how to designate the status of endometrial uterine cancer in terms of ranking its degree of spread or aggression? This is the stuff that makes all the difference between one cancer and another. It's the reason now two cancers are ever quite the same. So it helps to understand a bit about these ranking systems. And in this podcast, I'll make it easy to understand.

)  Diagnosis of Endometrial Uterine Cancer (Corresponding to Video # 327) So what if you have sloughin' of the stuffin' in your uterus that constitutes bleeding when you shouldn't bleed? What's next? What constitutes an evaluation that can give you an actual diagnosis for the cause of your bleeding? That's what I'll explain in this podcast.

) Symptoms of Endometrial Uterine Cancer  (YouTube video # 326)  Do you know the typical symptoms of endometrial uterine cancer? And do you know which ones are early symptoms versus those that are late symptoms. Knowing this stuff can make the difference between recognizing endometrial uterine cancer early enough to treat and cure it … and failing to do so. I'll teach you all about it in this podcast.

Pathology of Endometrial Uterine Cancer  (YouTube video # 325)  What if you had to explain what happens inside your uterus to result in development of endometrial uterine cancer? Could you? Do you have an idea about the sequence of events that take place to make it a cancer? Well, if you listen to this podcast, you will.

Frenetic Genetics as a Cause of Endometrial Uterine Cancer  (YouTube video # 324)  What do you know about genetic causes of endometrial uterine cancer? Would it surprise you to learn that a family history of all sorts of other cancers puts you at high risk of endometrial uterine cancer? They key is to know which other cancers. And that's what I'll tell you in this podcast tutorial.

Proving Estrogen as a Definite Cause of Endometrial Uterine Cancer  (YouTube video # 323) to air on Aug. 28, 2023 Just as you have to prove that someone committed a crime in law, you have to prove that an agent causes a cancer in medicine. Do you know what it takes to prove that estrogen actually causes endometrial uterine cancer? In this podcast, I'll put estrogen to the test, and prove that it definitely causes endometrial uterine cancer.

How to Know if You're at Risk for Endometrial Uterine Cancer (YouTube video # 322) Do you know the risk factors for endometrial uterine cancer? If you don't know the risk factors, how in the world are you going to know if you're at risk for it? In this podcast tutorial, I will teach you the risk factors so that you don't fret if you're not at risk, … and you take note if you are.

Incidence & Prevalence of Endometrial Uterine Cancer (YouTube Video 321) How much do you hear about uterine cancer? Do you have any idea how common it is? And if you don't hear much about it, do you assume that means it's uncommon? In this podcast, I'll teach you some basic statistics about it that you might find interesting even if you don't like statistics in general.

“Honoring our loved ones means respecting and appreciating them, learning about them, and perpetuating their stories and life lessons after they are gone.” New York Times Best Selling Author, Brendon Burchard. Happy 80th Birthday Mom and THANK YOU to ALL past guests. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/dzZZSHAyKFs On Today's MILESTONE EPISODE #300 we will cover:  ✔ 12 Life Lessons from my Mom, Hazel MacPhail for "How to Live the Good Life" Inspired by Brendon Burchard ✔ Life Lesson tips from Majid Samadi ✔ How Majid and Hazel both moved to a new country, and rose from the bottom of their field, to the top. ✔ Success and Mindset Strategies they both used. ✔ Honoring those who have influenced us to rise to greater heights in our life.     Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    For today's episode, #300, I wanted to do something special, something magical for this important milestone, and I knew what it would be a few months ago. Listeners who tune into this podcast might know that I bring guests on to help ALL of us to learn and apply the most current research to help us to improve our productivity and results, but there's a lot more to it than that. I heard author and speaker Brendon Burchard explain this concept in 2014 when I first began interviewing experts, and his thoughts changed me deeply. In his YouTube video Interview Those You Love, Before They Are Gone[i] he asks “how do you honor people who are important to you?” You know, the people who have taught you something that changed you in a positive way? Some people send gifts to these people, but not Brendon. He made a pact to do something unique to honor these change-makers and when I heard what he did, I thought “I want to do exactly the same thing as Brendon Burchard.” After all, he is the author of the book High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Became That Way[ii]. He suggested that a special way to honor someone who has made a difference in your life is to interview them, and ask for their words of wisdom, that will be recorded for you, and others to hear, forever. That's exactly what I have done with this podcast, starting with my husband, Majid Samadi, who influences me daily, and then if you look through the guests I've asked to come on the podcast, you will now know they were all intentional for me to honor the difference they made with my work, character, the direction and understanding in this thing we call life, and how to live “the good life.” Brendon suggests that instead of sending them a gift, the best way to honor these people in your life is to first of all tell them directly the difference they've made for you, how specifically they have helped you, and then carry their voice forward, in yours, with an interview. I know that each person I've interviewed has a clear picture of how they helped me specifically, and now their message helps others, all around the world. I've got to say that sometimes the messages you'll receive from other to improve yourself aren't easy to hear, but if they are delivered with love, with your growth in mind, listening to this feedback can make a profound difference in your life. I'll never forget the interview I did with best-selling author John Assaraf, from EP #39[iii] (that was actually recorded in 2015) because it was John who gave me feedback on the program I created, that was going into schools, (not in this interview) but he told me directly, face to face, that I had to redo everything, and he used the exact words that I clearly have never forgotten, “your baby (which was my membership site at the time) is ugly” and he said, you can't charge people money for this. I remember thinking “well, shoot, if I had millions of dollars in my bank like you I wouldn't have had to code the whole website on my own” but I put my defensive mind aside, and redid the site, before selling it to anyone. And then when my programs went into the schools, I had more feedback, and an uncomfortable meeting with educator Jeff Kleck[iv], who told me all the parts of my work that he recommended I change, replacing the old, with the most current brain research (that at the time, I knew nothing about). I didn't like hearing this feedback at all, and it was a lot of hard work to fix both the membership site with John's feedback and write a whole new book, with Jeff Klecks's, but I'm so grateful for everyone who gave me advice to improve personally and professionally. I'm sure you can think of those who have done this for you. Imagine if we all reached out to those who impacted us this way, let them know how they helped us, and then glean some wisdom from them to help others? Imagine a world like this? That's what I've done since 2019 with this podcast. I've been very intentional about WHO I've asked as a guest, and today's guest is someone very special in my life, who is responsible for the person I am today, literally. Today's guest is my Mom, Hazel MacPhail. My Mom will join my husband, Majid Samadi and I for a conversation that I hope will bring some insight to you, wherever you tune in around the world. My Mom was born August 10th 1943 in Haslemere,  Surrey, England and named Hazel Frances Bernhardt.  She married my Dad, Francis (Frank) Greenshields MacPhail in the sixties and emigrated to Canada with him and my two sisters Karen, and Christine in 1973. She met my Dad in The Carioca Club, that she said was a coffee bar hang out for young people on the seafront at Worthing Sussex, her Mom's home town and where she spent to first 10 years of her life before moving to Goring in Sussex, a few miles away. I was 2 when my parents emigrated to Toronto, Canada, where I grew up, before moving to the United States in early 2001. My Mom will answer the questions I've picked out for her from a unique perspective of someone who had to start her life over from scratch, in a new country, and Majid will bring his experience of moving to the United States from Iran when he was 10. I'm hoping you will find their insight and ideas from my Mom on “How to Live The Good Life” to be empowering, inspiring and useful, as they will both share their legacy stories from the point of view of someone who had to build something out of nothing. Let's meet my Mom, Hazel MacPhail and welcome Majid Samadi back for his 4th time on the podcast and I'm going to ask them some of the questions that New York Times Best-Selling Author, Brendon Burchard suggests for Interviewing Someone You Love. INTERVIEW SOMEONE YOU LOVE ABOUT LIFE Some Questions by Brendon Burchard Welcome Hazel and Majid! Thank you for coming on the podcast today. Mom, it's been a long time since I called you Hazel…maybe over 20 years ago when I was your swimming teacher.  Welcome and thanks for being here, and welcome back Majid, for your 4th time on the podcast. INTRO: Mom, you would know by now that I do these podcasts, and interview people all over the world to glean their wisdom and advice. Today, I wanted to ask you some questions so you can share your words of wisdom with our audience that spans over 190 countries, around the world. Can we start to orient our listeners with both of your backgrounds? Q1: Hazel: What comes to mind when you think about growing up in [England-The Quadrant]?   Majid: What comes to mind when you think about growing up in Iran?    Q2: Hazel and Majid: What made you decide to move to a new country? Majid: What was it like coming to the US without knowing how to speak the language?   Q3: Hazel and Majid: How did you choose your career? What did you like the most/least about it?   Q4: Hazel and Majid: What made you successful at work?   Q5: Hazel and Majid: What helped you through difficult times?   Q6: Hazel and Majid: What events most shaped your life?   Q7: Hazel and Majid: What words best describe who you tried to be in life and how you want to be remembered?   Q8: Hazel and Majid: What have you learned about other people in life?   Q9: Hazel and Majid: What are you most proud of in life?   Q10: Hazel and Majid: Final thoughts?   Mom, and Majid, I want to thank you both for coming on the podcast today, and helping me to share your message with our listeners, and leave a part of your legacy with mine. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to have had this opportunity today. I hope your lessons help others, and specifically, I do hope that others follow Brendon Burchard's lead, and interview those who have impacted them in their lifetime. This has been an incredible experience that I'll never forget. Thank you. FINAL THOGHTS: All episodes are special and important to me, but this one, came full circle from where we began in June 2019. Some things aren't easy to see looking forward, but so clear when you connect the dots, looking backwards, like Steve Jobs is famous for saying. When I asked my Mom to come on the podcast and record an episode with my husband, I had no idea that we would record the weekend before my Mom's 80th Birthday on August 10th, so I knew I had to release this episode on her 80th Birthday, as a thank you for all that she did for me that took me to where I am today. It was my Mom, Hazel, who sat with me every morning, planning the best way for me to move to the United States, and what I would do when I arrived. She didn't foresee September 11th happening, or any of the hardships, but she told me many times that it would be hard work, but I would be very happy. I believed her, because over the years I learned to trust her instinct and magical intuition. She would spend hours every night studying for these work tests, in the insurance industry (she said they were the Lomas Tests) and after she had passed all of these tests, I noticed she was still studying at night. I wondered what she was studying, and knew in my heart it was important work. My Mom worked hard at her craft, but she worked equally as hard at developing the faculties of her mind. If you ask me, this is what gave her an edge over others in her life, helped her through difficult times raising us kids, and especially helped her when she had to overcome Uterine Cancer. I noticed the hard work she put into this study, and watching her motivated me to do the same. It's sort of contagious when you see someone else working hard, and yielding the results from this work, and this what I'm doing when I am driven to keep learning, and sharing with you here on the podcast. I want to carry my Mom's legacy forward, in my work. To close out this episode, I'll review the TOP 12 Life Lessons I picked out from her words today, and hope it helps you in some way. LESSON 1: Be Clear About the Part of Your Life That Shapes You the Most: She remembered hers, and I know mine. It's not the easy times that I know changed me, it those difficult challenging times. So if you are IN difficult, and challenging times now, know they will end, and you will be a better person because of them. LESSON 2: Say “YES” to every job to move your career forward. I talk about this in my most recent book, Level Up[v], in the chapter on Persistence, with the words of the late Art Linkletter, who had no business experience, but created a highly popular TV show back in the 1950s and 1960s called Kids Say the Darndest Things.  When I heard him speak years ago, his whole message was about persistence, saying he had to interview 27,000 children to get the ones that were really good that went on television. He also mentioned that his biggest regret in life was saying no to a business opportunity with his good friend Walt Disney, who took him to these orange groves, and tried to paint the picture of Disneyland for him, but he couldn't see his friends vision. Say “yes” to everything, just like my Mom said, so you don't miss out on a partnership like Disneyland like Art did. LESSON 3: Keep Learning New Skills. This is what I watched my Mom doing at night after long days at the office, and what motivates me to keep learning. What is it that keeps YOU coming back and learning from podcasts, or listening to us today? LESSON 4: Have a sense of humor. This one, I don't have any tips for, as this is not my strength. Majid is better at this one than me, as I'm usually the more serious one. LESSON 5: Learn how to solve difficult problems and know where to go when you get stuck with something. This is one of the reasons why I do this podcast, to share tools and resources we can all use to help move us forward. LESSON 6: Learn to be resourceful. This is something I remember John Assaraf saying in our interview together (EP #39)[vi] that made a difference in his early life. He talked about ways he would think creatively when he didn't have enough money to do things, and this creativity spilled over into his life today, helping him to see ways forward, around roadblocks. LESSON 7: ALWAYS LEARN FROM OTHERS. If you keep reading books, listening to ideas, you can learn to do some outstanding things, all from others. LESSON 8: There's more good people in the world than bad. See the good in people. We cover this on EP#214[vii] with Marie Gervais and her book “The Spirit of Work.” LESSON 9: Learn to read people. My Mom taught me Theory of Mind that we covered on EP 46[viii] when I told her I needed help with this skill. We took this a whole bunch of levels deeper with EP#163[ix] with Dan Hill, the faces guy, on his episode that taught us “How to Read the Emotions in Others in Schools, Sports and the Workplace.” This skill, when practiced, will give you information quickly about another person, as our eyes really are the mirrors to our soul. LESSON 10: Thank people who have moved your forward somehow. That was the whole point of this episode that I mention in the backstory. Find those who have helped YOU along the way, and let them know. LESSON 11: Learn from our challenging experiences.  This one doesn't need any explanation. LESSON 12: Finally, the last words of wisdom from my Mom, have no regrets in life. And with that, I'll close out our 300th episode, dedicated to Mom, Hazel on her 80th Birthday. Happy Birthday Mom. I love you, and am so grateful to have had this opportunity to record your words of wisdom, for others around the world to hear. I also want to honor the words of wisdom from ALL our past guests today, as we reach this important milestone, and I'll see you next week!

Anatomy of Your Uterus & Endometrial Uterine Cancer (YouTube Video 320)  If I mention “uterine cancer” with regard to post-menopausal women, what part of the uterus do you envision? Or does it matter? Do you even know the different part of the uterus? What's at the top? What's at the bottom? What's on the outside? What's on the listen to this podcast and get the anatomical scoop on uterine anatomy for purposes of uterine cancer at menopause.

Drug repurposing is using a drug previously approved for one condition to treat an entirely different condition (like cancer). In cancer care, repurposed drugs are usually gentler than FDA-approved cancer treatments. They include common drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and more.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Ramez N. Eskander to discuss NRG-018 pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in uterine cancer. Dr. Eskander is a gynecologic oncologist who specializes in the comprehensive management of female reproductive system cancers, including ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer. His expertise includes diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including minimally invasive (robotic) surgery, chemotherapy and novel drugs. Highlights: NRG-GY018 showed that the addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy, followed by maintenance pembrolizumab, resulted in a 70% lower risk of disease progression or death in patients in the dMMR cohort and a 46% lower risk in the pMMR cohort than in the placebo group. These data suggest that the incorporation of immunotherapy into the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer improves oncologic outcomes, regardless of MMR status or histologic findings. Previous monotherapy drugs against PD-1 and PD-L1 in recurrent or metastatic pMMR endometrial cancer resulted in only modest improvement.

Episode 127: Obesity Update and Uterine CancerSaakshi presents some updates on the treatment of obesity in pediatric patients. Wendy explains a recent study connecting hair iron to uterine cancer. Updates on obesity management in pediatric patients.Written by Saakshi Dulani, MS3, Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Edited by Hector Arreaza, MD.Background information:The American Academy of Pediatrics has released new guidelines on obesity management in pediatric patients. This is the first update regarding childhood obesity in 15 years. According to the CDC, the rates of childhood obesity have tripled since the 1980s, and as of now, 1 in every 5 children suffers from obesity in the United States. It is important to recognize obesity is a chronic, multifaceted disease that comes with its own set of complications, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea, heart disease, and various mental and psychosocial health issues. The first-line treatment used to be comprised of behavioral health and lifestyle counseling, however, now, 1st line treatment for pediatric patients includes medications and surgery in addition to the previously suggested counseling. This is because research has shown that diet and level of physical activity are not the only factors that determine weight but also include genes, hormones, and metabolism. Similar to many other chronic diseases, the sooner the treatment is started, the better. There has been no benefit shown in waiting for adulthood to treat obesity. Who qualifies for which treatments?As a reminder, in the pediatric population, we use the BMI percentiles instead of the absolute number for BMI. Overweight is defined as BMI between 85-95th for patients of the same gender and age. Obesity is defined as being above the 95th percentile.Four drugs are now approved for obesity treatment in adolescents starting at age 12, which are Saxenda® (liraglutide), Qsymia® (phentermine-topiramate), Wegovy® (semaglutide), and Xenical® or Alli® (orlistat). Phentermine as monotherapy has been approved for teens aged 16 and older. Another drug called Imcivree® has been approved for children 6 and older affected by Bardet-Biedl syndrome. The problem with medications is that they are not available to everyone due to the cost, and there are many shortages occurring due to the high demand for these drugs. Surgical options:This is a MAJOR change in the recommendations for obesity treatment in children.  The new guidelines recommend discussing SURGERY with patients that are 13 years old and have severe obesity. It has been shown that bariatric surgery provides lasting results but also that it can reverse health issues such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. It is exciting that more research is being done to provide us with more evidence regarding the treatment of obesity in children. Obesity treatment is challenging, even more so in children. So, we encourage all listeners to review the new guidelines about the use of medications and surgery to treat obesity in children and put them to practice if appropriate for your patients.____________________________You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home.

Edited by Hector Arreaza, MD.What is the sister study? The Sister Study is a nationwide effort in the US conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which includes over 50,000 sisters of women who have had breast cancer. This study aims to find environmental and genetic causes of breast cancer. The women in this study were breast cancer free and lived in the United States, including Puerto Rico. They were enrolled from 2003-2009 and were followed up until September 2019. If the sister study is made up of 50,000 women, why does this study only use about 30,000 of those women? Excluded women include those who withdrew from the study (n = 3), who self-reported a diagnosis of uterine cancer before enrollment (n = 380), had an uncertain uterine cancer history (n = 10), had an unclear timing of diagnosis relative to enrollment (n = 59), had a hysterectomy before enrollment (n = 15,585), who did not answer any hair product use questions (n = 736), and who did not contribute any follow-up time (n = 164), resulting in 33,947 eligible women. How was it done?The authors reviewed medical records and questionnaires about hair care within the past 12 months and compared women who developed uterine cancer with those who did not for about 10 years between 2003-2009. Of this sample, only 378 women developed uterine cancer. Further investigation needs to be done to make worthwhile associations between hair straighter use and the incidence of uterine cancer. This study drew 2 primary conclusions:Hair products are not associated with uterine cancer: No associations were found between hair product usage and the incidence of uterine cancer. This was investigated because it's thought that synthetic estrogenic compounds, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, could contribute to uterine cancer risk because of their ability to alter hormonal actions. This is something that has been linked to breast and ovarian cancers in the past, so it made sense to consider the same for uterine cancers.Using a straightening iron is positively associated with uterine cancer: Ever vs. never use of a straightening iron in the previous 12 months was associated with a hazard ratio of 1.80 with 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 2.88. The association was stronger when comparing frequent use (>4 times in the past 12 months) vs never use was associated with a hazard ratio of 2.55, 95% confidence interval 1.146 to 4.45.This was investigated because it is thought that heating processes such as flat ironing or blow drying could release or thermally decompose chemicals from the products. This can lead to potential higher exposures to hazardous chemicals through inhalation or percutaneous absorption of chemicals, which is higher in the scalp compared to other areas. While this hypothesis makes sense and supports the results, there are many confounding variables, including physical activity. Women with higher physical activity tend to have decreased sex steroid hormones and less chronic inflammation, reducing their risk of uterine cancer.Hair products are not associated with uterine cancer, and straightening iron is positively associated with uterine cancer, but further research is needed.The incidence of uterine cancer in the past 20 years has significantly increased. Investigating reasons for why this might be could lead to the discovery of potential targets for intervention. However, I am personally unconvinced by this study, and I fully intend to continue to use hair products, my blow dryer, my curling iron, my crimper, and yes even my straightener for the foreseeable future until further research is done.__________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode 127 “Obesity Update and Uterine Cancer.” We learned from Saakshi that the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends discussion of pharmacologic and surgical treatments for pediatric obesity; then Wendy explained that some association between hair iron and uterine cancer was found but further research is needed. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Saakshi Dulani, and Wendy Collins.
