Life, Economy, and Chinese Threat Perception in Taipei, Taiwan Guest: Anne Stevenson-Yang Anne Stevenson-Yang reports from Taipei, Taiwan, a vibrant economy and republic vital to the global economy due to TSMC, the microchip maker. Taiwan is characterized by a wonderful public culture where honesty and personal safety are prevalent. Despite its high-tech focus, the economy suffers from problems common elsewhere, including increasing income inequality, unaffordability, high housing prices, and stagnant wages. Regarding geopolitical tensions, the average Taiwanese person is largely immune to the constant threat from China, having heard talk of belligerence for the last 30 years. However, there is apprehension related to China's grim economic winter and growing concern that the US protective umbrella may be receding, leading to more interest in investing in Taiwan's own defense. 1925 TAIPEI

When we think of STEM, we often picture engineers, chemists, or programmers. But what about someone who patents a piece of clothing, challenges the textile industry, and builds a company around purpose-driven innovation?In a very unique episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Michael Drescher, Founder of Vibrant Body Company. Drescher's career has spanned cable TV, logistics, and media before leading him to unexpected innovations in fabric science and apparel. His story shows how engineering, chemistry, and entrepreneurship intersect in surprising ways — and why educators should encourage students to look beyond conventional STEM paths.From patents to cross-disciplinary collaboration, from science to social impact, Drescher offers a compelling case for why the next generation of innovators must combine technical skill with a sense of mission.Listen to learn:Why engineering careers often appear in unexpected industriesHow chemistry and materials science drive innovation in everyday productsWhat a utility patent in fashion reveals about unconventional STEM applicationsWhy budding entrepreneurs should leverage subject-matter experts from a range of fields to solve complex challengesWhy purpose-driven entrepreneurship matters for the next generation of innovators3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Innovation often begins with a personal “why.” Drescher's journey started after losing loved ones to breast cancer, whereafter he dove into the science of women's garments and became the "unexpected messenger" of the fashion industry's pitfalls. From polyurethane cups to restricting the lymphatic system to "if it's on you, it's in you," Drescher shares the unexpected science of textiles.2. There's a need for STEM professionals in industries most people overlook. Vibrant Body's approach to undergarment design and manufacturing is a lesson in applied STEM - from the biomedical science of the "electrical body" to the chemistry of textiles to the engineering of clothing design. It's a lesson for educators to broaden their students' understanding of potential career fields in STEM disciplines.3. Collaboration across disciplines drives real breakthroughs. The Vibrant team combined expertise from molecular biology, technical bra design, German manufacturing, and Italian fabric engineering to create a product that earned a rare utility patent. Drescher emphasized that innovation is “breadcrumbing” - each expert leads to the next - a lesson educators can pass on to students tackling complex problems.Resources in this Episode:Vibrant Body: vibrantbodycompany.comOther:Michael's Tedx Talk on YouTube: "Theories on Breast Cancer"Breast Cancer Prevention PartnersBooks:Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and BrasThe Gene: An Intimate HistoryWe want to hear from you!

Your body knows before your mind can explain. We sat down with Jen to unpack how simple, intentional gestures can translate hard-to-name emotions into clear signals you can act on, turning anxious contraction into grounded expansion without forcing, fixing, or faking it. Her journey—from feeling “not smart” in test-driven classrooms to discovering kinesthetic and emotional intelligence—led to a somatic method that has helped thousands reclaim presence, confidence, and self-trust.Jen walks us through the Power of Gesture, a research-informed practice born on Zoom during the pandemic, where hands became a precise instrument for nervous system regulation and emotional clarity. You'll hear why bodyset complements mindset, how 40,000+ nerve endings in your hands act like a truth-telling interface, and what changes when we treat emotions as teachers rather than problems. We explore leadership as an embodied skill—vital for parents, educators, coaches, and executives—rooted in noticing contraction, honoring it, and choosing expansion on purpose.You'll also learn the GIFT framework: Ground to settle your system, Imagine the scene to access sensation, Feel through a fitting gesture, and Transform by linking that first state to an expansive second one. We dig into self-hop—the idea that you're not broken and don't need fixing—and what makes Your Body Is Speaking a different kind of mind-body book for somatic healing, emotional resilience, intuitive living, and women's leadership. If you've been carrying unprocessed grief, post-pandemic stress, or recurring self-doubt, this conversation offers practical tools you can use today.If this resonates, tap follow, share with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find these tools. Your body is speaking—ready to listen?BioJen Aks journey to leadership and embodiment work began as a self-conscious student, sitting in traditional classrooms where she felt invisible. She failed to fit into the education system's narrow definition of intelligence and dealt with crippling self-doubt because of it. Through decades of dance education and gaining a deeper understanding of diverse intelligences, Kinesthetic and Emotional, she rediscovered her body's wisdom and reclaimed her identity. It's her life's work to bring that same gift to you, so that you can live the radically honest and empowered life you deserve.  Jen is a Transformational Coach, Speaker, and Author of her new bestseller "Your Body Is Speaking"WebsiteSocial Media FacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokLinkedInWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

What if aging wasn't something to fear but something to embrace? What if those gray hairs and laugh lines weren't signs of decline but badges of wisdom and life fully lived? Natasha Harding, pro-aging maverick and Golden Bachelor contestant, joins Lynnis Woods-Mullins to flip the script on aging. With refreshing candor and infectious energy, they explore why the space between our ears—our mindset—is the most crucial factor in how we experience growing older."We are changing, we are shifting the narrative, and we are cutting a new path," Natasha declares, challenging listeners to reject limiting beliefs about what aging should look like. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, she reveals how her own journey led her to champion pro-aging after witnessing too many women diminish themselves because of a number.The conversation tackles eye-opening realities: women over 50 control $19 trillion in global spending yet receive only 5% of advertising attention. Studies show positive thinking about aging literally extends lifespan. Simple habits like walking 30 minutes daily can add seven years to your life.Both women share their experiences embracing gray hair, adapting to changing bodies, and finding renewed purpose during what Natasha calls "the adolescence of adulthood." This perspective normalizes midlife uncertainty and reframes it as an opportunity for exciting reinvention.Whether you're approaching midlife, in the thick of it, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing alternative to anti-aging messaging. Listen now to discover how to age with confidence, clarity and vibrant energy—because those six inches between your ears really do count.Bio Natascha Hardee is a pro-aging coach and midlife speaker who is a former contestant on the reality television shows The Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. She is known for her energetic personality and desire to inspire others to embrace aging.  After experiencing many misdiagnoses for her perimenopause symptoms, Hardee became an advocate for other women navigating midlife changes. She uses her platform to share information and build a community for women to discuss challenges like menopause, changing identity, and aging parents. She encourages people to "age in excellence" on her social media. Hardee was on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor in 2023, where she sought love with lead Gerry Turner. Though she was eliminated early, she gained valuable experience, stating, "I learned how to date" after having not dated in seven years while raising her granddaughter. In 2025, she appeared on season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise.Social Media InstagramTikTocWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Dr. Monty Pal and Dr. Mina Sedrak discuss the science behind cancer treatment-induced accelerated aging and the development of drug therapies and technologies aimed at helping older patients and cancer survivors. TRANSCRIPT Transcript: Cancer and Aging: Researching the Path to Longer, More Vibrant Lives Dr. Monty Pal: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I am Dr. Monty Pal. I am a medical oncologist and professor and vice chair of medical oncology here at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center. I am also host of this podcast. Today, we are going to be talking to somebody that I consider to be my little brother, if you will, in oncology, Mina Sedrak. Mina is an expert in the area of cancer and aging, which really includes the development of drug therapies and technologies that help enable older adults and survivors to live longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives. I am really excited to chat with him. He is an expert not just in cancer and aging but also breast cancer. He was my former colleague here at City of Hope before he moved over to the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he is an associate professor and director there of the Cancer and Aging Program. Dr. Sedrak's research involves mechanisms behind cancer treatment-induced accelerated aging and really aims to take this science into more of a therapeutic direction, which I am super, super excited about.  Mina, thanks so much for joining us today, and just FYI for our listeners, we have all of our disclosures in the transcript of this episode. Dr. Mina Sedrak: Thank you, Monty. Thank you, Dr. Pal, for having me. I am really excited to be here. Dr. Monty Pal: I feel like we have to go on a first-name basis here with how well we know each other. So Mina, you and I together have witnessed this evolution in cancer and aging. I mean, both of us worked together here with just a legendary figure in the field of geriatric oncology, I will call it, Dr. Arti Hurria, mentor to me, mentor to you, mentor to so many. Can you give us a sense of where cancer and aging has gone since the time that you and I started here together at City of Hope? Dr. Mina Sedrak: Dr. Hurria and her collaborators, Dr. [Willliam] Dale and Dr. [Supriya] Mohile, they were like huge pioneers in the field. They were one of the very first people to highlight the importance of looking at older adults beyond just their chronological age and their comorbidities and moving us beyond just seeing patients and making decisions using what we call the eyeball test. "Oh, this person looks fit or not fit, frail or robust," to really using objective measures to assess our patient's health status and incorporate that assessment into our evaluation of the treatment, prognostication, and discussions with our patients throughout the cancer continuum. And so that is what geriatric oncology has and continues to be, and it is a huge, important part. And their work has laid the foundation to show that when we look at our patients beyond just their chronological age and we look at their functional age, and we do these objective assessments, we can gain much more deeper information to tailor the treatment for our patient that is sitting in front of us, rather than do a prescriptive treatment or over- or undertreatment in that population. So that is sort of where the field is growing, and a lot of the work now is, how do we implement that? How do we put that into clinical practice? Dr. Monty Pal: Well, let me kind of spearhead that discussion, right? I have these moments when I go to the ASCO Annual Meeting – I remember this happened to me a while ago when Dr. Jennifer Temel presented that terrific work around early palliative care interventions, right? Or it even happened to me this year, right, when Dr. Christopher Booth presented the CHALLENGE trial around exercise and colon cancer. You know, these amazing, I am going to say simple, they are not simple, but they are simple interventions relative to, you know, some of the complex drugs and mechanisms that we are using nowadays that really help outcomes for our cancer patients. The big question becomes, how do you implement, right? But my understanding is that there are easy ways for us to take tools in cancer and aging and sort of plug them into our daily practice. Am I right about that? Dr. Mina Sedrak: Yes, and that is something that they are – the Cancer and Aging Research Group, which was founded by Dr. Hurria and now is co-led by Dr. Dale, Dr. Mohile, and Dr. [Heidi] Klepin, they have been incredible at really trying to develop practical tools, like the Practical Geriatric Assessment, which is now endorsed by the ASCO and other NCCN guidelines. And so, there are tools that are becoming more and more practical to help incorporate that into clinic.  Now, what might be practical in a resource-intensive setting may not be practical in some of the limited resources, whether it is rural and/or other countries where the resources may be more limited. So that is why Cristiane Bergerot, Enrique Soto, and others have been really working hard. There was actually a really beautiful paper that was just published in the Journal of Global Oncology, where they have shown that there are guidelines [ASCO Geriatric Assessment Global Guideline] about how to implement these tests, these tools, these assessments in clinical practice, even in different resource settings. So I think we are going to get to the future where this is much more – it is definitely important, but it is much more easily ‘incorporatable' into our practice. Dr. Monty Pal: Yeah, you know how close I am to Cris, and I was so proud when I saw that paper come out. That was really exciting. You know, I skimmed it. I have to tell you, I did not get into the weeds, but it was apparent to me that, you know, some of these geriatric oncology tools are things that, you know, I could probably plug and play into my practice where I am double- and triple-booked over, you know, most slots, right? I mean, I could still probably afford a little bit of time or maybe have, like, a nurse or an extender kind of help participate in the evaluation process. I thought that was, yeah, really, really interesting. Dr. Mina Sedrak: I will just say that at UCLA, we are working with Dr. Arash Naeim, who is a geriatric oncologist, and he has developed an AI platform where the assessments can be done by an AI computer. So it is like talking to your ChatGPT. They can talk to you, and for a few minutes, they will ask you the questions. So you do not even have to fill it out on a piece of paper. You could give the patient a little iPad, put them in a private room while they are waiting for their doctor, and get the results, and it is right there for you. And so, we have been trying to think about how can technology help with the completion of the assessment, at least doing that? And I think it is actually, it has been very cool. We did a pilot study. He is writing that up, and we are going to continue to do some of this exciting work. How do we think about AI in the context of this? And, you know, older adults, they are not like what they used to be. A lot of older adults are very familiar with and comfortable with phones and computers and iPads, much more so today than they were even at the time when Dr. Hurria was alive. Dr. Monty Pal: That is so interesting. You mentioned this, the AI approach is something I have been thinking about in this context because what if, for instance, you know, we have got video monitors all over our hospital, right? What if you are actually just taking a look at that patient as they make their way towards your clinic? Capture that video, use an AI algorithm to say, "Hey, you know, the timed get-up-and-go test in this patient is not particularly good based on what I am seeing here," right? There are so many ways that you could, you know, stir the pot and come up with creative ways to get these tests done. Dr. Mina Sedrak: That's right. And Arash is looking at also sensors. So he has some studies where he is putting sensors inside people's homes, where they would put them, like, on top of an Alexa app or the equivalent. A lot of people have these apps, and basically, they can sense how you are moving around and what you are doing, just movement-wise. And then they can collect that information to gain information about your life beyond just what we are seeing in the 20-minute visit in the clinic. Even when I do a walk test where I get gait speed or physical performance, short physical performance battery, the chair sit-up, those are oftentimes a single, cross-sectional, static measure. But what about the dynamic ability of capturing what has been happening for the last 7 days? What has been happening for the last 25 days between the visits, between the cycles of chemotherapy? And could that inform how I make decisions when I see patients and who do I need to target and identify? And so, we are very excited because really at UCLA, Arash is leading the technology efforts and thinking about implementation of these important measures and these important tools but leveraging new technology. And we do not want to be behind; we want to be ahead of the game. Dr. Monty Pal: I love that idea because there is a Hawthorne effect, isn't there, where you observe a process, and it naturally gets better. I mean, when you ask that patient to get up in the clinic and move, they are probably functioning to the best of their abilities, but we could probably learn a lot from just watching how fast that patient picks up a remote control at home. Some simple movement like that that is volitional would probably help out a ton. And I got to tell you, it is so funny when you mention Arash Naeim's name. I distinctly remember him serving as an attending on the wards when he was brand new at UCLA on faculty when I was a resident there. And his dad is a legendary hematopathologist, right? Dr. Mina Sedrak: I did not know that. Dr. Monty Pal: Yeah, yeah. Faramarz Naeim wrote the book on a lot of heme-path malignancies. Incredible guy. Very, very storied hematopathologist at UCLA.  I could probably go on this topic forever, but in the interest of time, I am going to shift to something that again, I could probably talk about forever, which is this area of senescence that you are involved in. You know, you had mentioned this to me, I am going to say during your outro from City of Hope and towards your transition to UCLA, it is such an exciting area. I mean, understanding the actual biologic process of aging and using those underpinnings to really sort of tailor therapy. So tell us where the state of the science is there with this body of work that you are doing. Dr. Mina Sedrak: As I said before, we have tools now to assess patients and to then do something about the deficits. So if a patient is falling, what we do is we refer them to physical therapy where they can do fall precautions and strength training to give them the information. But all of these supportive care interventions are very important. They are great. But they oftentimes are not targeting the root cause of why they are happening. And so that is really where I have been very interested in, how can we understand why is it that something like chemotherapy or immunotherapy is causing a decline in cognitive function or a decline in physical function? And so that has really led us to think about geriatric oncology rather than a discipline of older adults, but to think about aging as a physiologic process. We are all aging. As every day goes by, we are aging. And what that means is that our bodies are accumulating damage, the cells are being exposed to various stressors, and the repair mechanisms are declining. And as we get older, it is really more damage and less repair mechanism at the cellular molecular level. And it turns out that these processes of how our cells repair and respond to damage are fundamental processes of biological aging. And there has been a large amount of preclinical and now really exciting clinical work to show that there are hallmarks that could be used to assess the rate of which we age by looking at these processes. And that includes things like epigenetics, telomeres, inflammation, and something called ‘cellular senescence.' And we have been interested in my lab in senescence because it is a unique process that has an important role in aging, but it also has a really important role in cancer. Senescence is a cell state. Cells, when they are stressed, they respond to entering this state of senescence. The stress could come from anything. It could come from an oncogene activation. It could come from a reactive oxygen species. It could come from a direct damage to the cell. But it is a cell state, just like apoptosis, necrosis. Senescence is a state in which the cell, in response to that stressor, undergoes an arrest from the G to the S phase. And that arrest is oftentimes associated with a resistance to apoptosis. So then the cell does not die, but it is alive, and it remains metabolically active. And in fact, downstream pathways of these cell cycle inhibition of this G-to-S phase lead to the increase of these transcription factors in the chromatin and lead to the development of these pro-inflammatory factors. So these cells, which can occur in various tissues in the body, can continue to live despite having developed these changes, and then they secrete these proinflammatory molecules like cytokines, chemokines, metalloproteinases, all of these, which are called the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, or SASP. And as we age, we accumulate more and more of these cells, and our bodies are no longer able – our immune system, like macrophages and T cells – are no longer able to remove them effectively. And as we accumulate them in various organs, these organs release a lot of inflammatory cytokines, and the chronic inflammation in that tissue leads to the tissue being damaged, and it does not work as well, and then it starts to decline in function. And that is believed to be how senescence plays a role in aging. It is the accumulation of senescent cells that occurs with increased damage and then the repair mechanism of clearing these cells effectively, which then leads to build up of inflammation and chronic inflammation leads up to damage in multiple tissues. Dr. Monty Pal: This concept to me is fascinating. And I guess the big question is – senescence is bad, right – is it not reasonable to think that this body of research, I mean, if you are able to sort of have a meaningful impact on senescence, it could have implications well beyond oncology. Is that fair? You really could extend lifespan all around. Is that reasonable to think, all-cause mortality? Dr. Mina Sedrak: One hundred percent. And that is what they have been shown in animal models. And the reason senescence is exciting is because it turns out that you can target these cells and you can induce apoptosis of these cells, but it requires active targeting of various pathways, but it can occur. And when it does, and it is done either genetically or pharmacologically in mice, we see that the mice can reverse damage. So if you take an old mouse and you genetically engineer it to remove senescent cells, that mouse will go from being frail to fit. And if you take a young mouse and you induce senescent cells at a high rate and you accumulate them in that mouse, that mouse, even though it is young, will become frail.  So that has really led to this exciting opportunity of, can we translate this finding that we are seeing in animals and in in vivo cells, cell cultures, into humans? And could that have a benefit beyond just one disease? Could it have a benefit in multiple diseases? And not just really longevity, which I think it would be great, but what people are really looking for is, how do we live healthy as we get older? How do we move the curve so that people are not developing chronic diseases in their 60s, but they are developing them in their 80s towards shortening the period of their life with disability rather than what we have currently, which is people are living to 70s, the average life expectancy is in the mid-70s, but they are spending 10 or 11 years in disability of that life. And so, how could we reduce that time frame? Dr. Monty Pal: This is brilliant, Mina. And for our audience, this compelling dialogue that we have had here thankfully is translating to funding for Mina's work. He just scored in the second percentile for his NIH R01 based on this topic. We are so, so proud of you. I mean, it is just remarkable work. It is not easy in the current climate to get funding, and a second percentile score is just absolutely wonderful. You know, Mina, I could probably go on with you for a couple more hours here talking about your work in cancer and aging. I think I am going to have to have you back on the podcast here.

What if your body's subtle signals could reveal health issues months or even years before they appear on traditional medical tests? That's the power of bioenergetic testing, a science-based approach that's helping midlife women decode their body's whispers before they become screams.In this eye-opening conversation, mechanical engineer turned health detective Beth Milbrecht shares how she helps women who've been told their symptoms are "just aging" or "just stress" get to the root of what's really happening. With over 35 years of engineering experience, Beth brings a problem-solver's mindset to health challenges, using bioenergetic testing to identify imbalances in the body's energy system that conventional medicine often misses.You'll discover why that constipation you've been ignoring might actually be a crucial sign your lymphatic system is backed up, how homeopathy and Bach flower essences gently support both physical and emotional healing, and why expensive supplements might not be the answer to your health concerns. Beth explains how this work is grounded in traditional Chinese medicine and the electrical activity at acupuncture points—not woo-woo at all, but rather a sophisticated approach to working with your body's innate intelligence.For women struggling with burnout, Beth offers practical wisdom on setting boundaries around sleep, mindful eating, and incorporating non-sleep deep rest. She shares the remarkable transformation of a client whose joint pain and numbness improved within weeks, eventually leading to renewed energy for dance classes and even a career change. As Beth explains, "When you clear out the old, something new wants to emerge."Whether you're curious about energy medicine or simply tired of being dismissed by conventional healthcare, this conversation will expand your understanding of what's possible for midlife wellness.

When the writer E. Jean Carroll accused President Trump of sexual assault in 2019, she unearthed a memory she had pushed away for decades. She also admitted, for the first time, something she hadn't fully reckoned with: She hadn't had sex since.In this episode, Carroll tells Anna Martin what it was like for her to go from “man crazy” to someone who could not engage in even the slightest flirtation. She had always prided herself on moving forward with a smile and not dwelling on the past. But in recent years, as Carroll went public with her story, and as she took Mr. Trump to court twice, she began to realize that finally facing the loss of her sex life might be an important step toward getting it back.Carroll's latest book, “Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President,” came out in June.Here's how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York Times.Here's how to submit a Tiny Love Story.

What if your mindset could literally heal your body at the cellular level? Carey Mencarini extraordinary journey proves it's not just possible—it's transformative.Wheelchair-bound, on oxygen, and given mere months to live with an ALS-like diagnosis in her early 40s, Carey refused to accept this fate. Her two young sons needed her, so she embarked on a healing journey that would defy all medical predictions. Through IV vitamin therapy, extended water-only fasting, and most critically, harnessing the power of her mind, she completely reversed her condition.The science behind her recovery is fascinating. IV therapy bypasses digestive issues to deliver pharmaceutical-grade nutrients directly to cells starving for proper nutrition. Extended fasting triggers the body to generate stem cells naturally, replacing damaged cells with healthy ones. But Carey's most powerful discovery was how our thoughts directly impact cellular function—"What we think, our body hears all the time."This episode dives deep into the neuroplasticity of the brain and how concentrated positive thought can physically transform our cells. As Carey's explains, "If you can harness the power of your mind, anything is possible."
