What do angel investing, cosmonaut training, and funding a 10-year health community project have in common? Esther Dyson. Obviously. In our latest episode #164 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I had the pleasure to catchup with Esther. We covered:
“What I have done in my career is just try to assess who we are, what we are, why we are here, and how come we, as animals, are able to walk around and wear pants and dresses and talk on the internet, while the other animals are not. It's been my obsession since I was young. I think if I hadn't become a novelist, I might have been happy to be a naturalist or a field biologist.There is some kind of magic in the creative process. I am reaching for things in my unconscious that surprise me. I don't know what it's going to be. I'd like to do many, many things. It's all my life's work. I don't want to just write the same book over and over again as some other authors do. I don't want to become formulaic.”T.C. Boyle is a novelist and short story writer based out of Santa Barbara, California. He has published 19 novels, such as The Road to Wellville and more than 150 short stories for publications like The New Yorker, as well as his many short story collections. His latest novel Blue Skies is a companion piece to A Friend of the Earth. His writing has earned numerous awards, including winning the PEN/Faulkner Award for Best Novel of the Year for World's End.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

If anyone should be anointed “aunt” or “court jEsther” of the tech industry, it's long time journalist, investor and philanthropist Esther Dyson. When I caught up with Dyson at DLD, she reflected on her 40+ year career in technology and her evolution from tech industry observer to wellness advocate. Her aunt/court jester" role, she explains, is to provide honest feedback to the tech powers-that-be while maintaining independence. In this role, Dyson expresses concern about society's vulnerability to "information diabetes" - addictive content that, like processed food, provides short-term pleasure but long-term harm. She details her work with Wellville, a 10-year project focused on community health and resilience, and explains her upcoming book "Term Limits," which argues for the importance of knowing when to pass the torch rather than trying to live or serve forever. Dyson - who, between 2008 and 2009 lived in Star City outside Moscow, Russia and trained as a backup cosmonaut - also shares her unique insights about Russia's descent into authoritarianism and the privatization of space travel.ESTHER DYSON is an investor, journalist, author, businesswoman, commentator, and philanthropist. She is a leading angel investor focused on health care, open government, digital technology, biotechnology, and outer space. She is chairman of EDventure Holdings and executive founder of Wellville, a ten-year project to show the long-term value, both social and financial, of investing in health. Overall, she is fascinated by new business models, new technologies and new markets (both economically and politically). From October 2008 to March of 2009, she lived in Star City outside Moscow, Russia, training as a backup cosmonaut. Apart from this brief sabbatical, she is an active board member for a variety of startups. She has a BA in economics from Harvard and was founding chairman of ICANN from 1998 to 2000. In addition, she wrote the bestselling, widely translated book Release 2.0: A Design for Living in the Digital Age.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

In S5 E14 I am delighted to welcome Pedja Stojicic, MD, MPH to the podcast. Dr Stojicic is an instructor for the DrPH Program at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health teaching two courses - Enabling Teams and Enabling Large System Change. Pedja is passionate about enabling health leaders to use community organizing practices to advocate for equitable health and well-being. He currently serves as an executive lead for People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/ . In the past, he has worked with the CMS, Center for Public Health Leadership, Primary Care Progress, Way to Wellville, Healthcare Anchor Network, Center for Health Progress, and many others. Previously, Dr. Stojicic has served as president and executive director of Youth of JAZAS, a Serbian NGO fighting HIV/AIDS, and as a consultant for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia implementing health care financing reform. Dr. Stojicic completed a fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School studying Leadership and Organizing with Prof. Marshall Ganz and later worked as a member of Ganz's HKS Teaching Team. As a life-long activist, he currently serves on the advisory board of Leading Change Network, one of the largest global networks of social movement leaders. In this incredible conversation Pedja tells us his own story of self before elaborating on the concept of narrative leadership and the practice and pedagogy of community organising to enable positive social, environmental and political change. We discuss the story arc of Self, Us and Now ( articulated by Professor Marshall Ganz in his book People. Power, Change) and why finding voice as clinicians and articulating our own story is a key first step to bringing others with us, building collective agency and taking action. I learn more about work at People, Power, Health and HEART, an advocacy training program for courageous clinicians. In challenging and uncertain times it is hard not to be inspired and energised by Dr Stojicic who aptly describes himself as intellectual pessimist but action optimist. This conversation is an empowering call to individual and collective action. "Empowerment of individuals and communities is absolutely central. Getting the community involved in organising their own destiny has to be a key part of it" Professor Sir Michael MarmotLinks / References / Further Reading:Dr Pedja Stojicichttps://www.linkedin.com/in/pedjastojicic/People, Power, Health https://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/HEART program - advocacy training for courageous clinicianshttps://www.peoplepowerhealth.org/heartPeople, Power, Change Professor Marshall Ganz https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/people-power-change-organizing-democratic-renewal The Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBA NSW-ACT Find out more about their service or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

The Road to Wellville Directed by Alan Parker A staunch advocate of healthy living, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins) opens a sanitarium that promotes his progressive, if eccentric, ideas about optimal well-being. Among the clients who arrive at the facility are the opportunistic Charles Ossining (John Cusack), who is keen on marketing Kellogg's cereal, and the wealthy Will Lightbody (Matthew Broderick) and his wife, Eleanor (Bridget Fonda). This comedy is inspired by an actual spa run by Dr. Kellogg at the turn of the century.
For the tenth month of 1994, we took a break at the Battle Creek Sanitarium!Entrepreneur John Harvey Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins) longs to help all sorts of people with their health maladies at his massive Michigan sanitarium. Included among some of his patients are William Lightbody (Matthew Broderick), his wife Eleanor (Bridget Fonda), who cross paths with lesser entrepreneurs such as Charles Ossining (John Cusack) and Kellogg's estranged son George (Dana Carvey). Will any of them find peace, happiness and most importantly, health? We'll find out along….The Road to Wellville!

Welcome back to StartUp Health NOW! We think it's fair to say that when people think of StartUp Health, they think about entrepreneurs and founders. Over the last 12 or 13 years we've supported more than 500 health tech startups and nearly 1000 founders, many of whom have been featured on this show. Perhaps less well known is what happens behind the scenes at StartUp Health. In this episode we pull back that curtain a little bit, particularly as it pertains to our Health Moonshot Impact Board. We've got this advisory team of about 17 amazing individuals across multiple disciplines. These are people like Dr. Toby Cosgrove, former head of the Cleveland Clinic; Chuck Henderson, the CEO of the American Diabetes Association; and Sue Siegel, former head of GE Ventures – just to name three. You can see the whole Health Moonshot Impact Board here on our website. Recently, we brought together our Health Moonshot Impact Board in real life at the Lake Nona Impact Forum in Florida. Not only did the team get to learn from luminaries like Jeff Bezos, David Feinberg, and Peter Lee, but they got to go deeper on ideas with one another. In the spirit of encouraging a more radically collaborative impact board, we decided to flip the script a bit and have members of our board interview one another for this podcast. The hope was that this would lead to some unexpected lines of questioning and some uniquely candid moments. The first conversation in this series is between Esther Dyson, legendary angel investor and founder of Wellville, and Roger Jansen, PhD, the Chief Innovation & Digital Health Officer at Michigan State University Health Care. The conversation was just as wide-ranging and unstructured as we hoped it would be, and it touched on some incredibly powerful topics. We hope you enjoy. Innovating in Alzheimer's disease?

For episode 79 of Entrepreneur Rx, John interviews rockstar Esther Dyson, founder of Wellville, a 10-year nonprofit project dedicated to demonstrating the value of long-term investment in health and equity. Esther has been or is a director of many companies such as 23andMe, Avanlee Care, Meetup, and WPP Group. In addition, Esther is an active angel investor and also enjoys sitting on the boards of several nonprofits, such as Charity Navigator, ExpandED Schools, Long Now and The Commons Project. This interview starts off with her explaining the Wellville project and her impressive background (she has even trained as a backup cosmonaut). Esther emphasizes the importance of asking questions and learning from others, rather than trying to have all the answers. Esther then shares her experiences as an angel investor, highlighting the qualities she looks for in founders, such as creativity, resilience, vision and humility. Esther goes on to express concern about society's addiction to instant gratification of all kinds – drugs, food, VC exits and the like. She stresses the importance of providing support and resources for maternal care, doula services, and parenting education to create a stable foundation for future generations and to “train” babies to be healthy humans resistant to manipulation…by trained AIs. Esther encourages individuals to face their fears and take risks, emphasizing the value of having a support system in place. She then concludes by reminding listeners that failure is a natural part of life and should be embraced as a learning opportunity.
From the author of beloved novels like World's End, East Is East, The Road to Wellville, and Drop City, comes a family tale utterly in sync with the absurdity of modern life. The family at the center of BLUE SKIES wants—as so many of us—to do right, get by, in the face of a looming ecological calamity. But, like Job, they are tested over and over by the gods—along with a Burmese python named Willie 2. Scorching temperatures, bee swarms, coastal erosion, invasive species, bug-borne pathogens, low pressure systems, and high pressure stress compete for one's sanity. No amount of cricket flour cookies and chaparral removal can keep the atmospheric rivers and bomb cyclones at bay. As Boyle sets in motion the chain of increasingly dire events that ensnare the enviro-sensitive parents, Ottilie and Frank, their carefree daughter Cat, and her embittered brother Cooper (who loses his arm to a tick bite), BLUE SKIES provides a cathartic—and ultimately moving—study of the human condition caught between fire and rain. T. C. Boyle is a novelist and regular contributor to The New Yorker. He has published eighteen novels, including World's End and The Tortilla Curtain, and twelve collections of short stories. A Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at the University of Southern California, he lives in Santa Barbara. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steve-richards/support

You know, the ones that would decorate the top of their Christmas tree with your skull. Hell, they might even use your spinal cord as garland!

Santa Barbara resident T. C. Boyle was a keynote speaker at the 1996 Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Also known as T. Coraghessan Boyle, he is an American novelist and short story writer. Since the mid-1970s, he has published sixteen novels and more than 100 short stories. He won the PEN/Faulkner award in 1988, for his third novel, World's End, which recounts 300 years in upstate New York. He was previously a Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Southern California. Boyle grew up in Peekskill, New York. His name was originally Thomas John Boyle; he changed his middle name to Coraghessan when he was 17 after an ancestor of his mother. He received a B.A. in English and History from the State University of New York at Potsdam (1968), an M.F.A. (1974) from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, and a Ph.D. (1977) from the University of Iowa. In Understanding T. C. Boyle, Paul William Gleason writes, "Boyle's stories and novels take the best elements of Carver's minimalism, Barth's postmodern extravaganzas, Garcia Marquez's magical realism, O'Connor's dark comedy and moral seriousness, and Dickens' entertaining and strange plots and brings them to bear on American life in an accessible, subversive, and inventive way." Many of Boyle's novels and short stories explore the baby boom generation, its appetites, joys, and addictions. His themes, such as the often-misguided efforts of the male hero and the slick appeal of the anti-hero, appear alongside brutal satire, humor, and magical realism. His fiction also explores the ruthlessness and the unpredictability of nature and the toll human society unwittingly takes on the environment. His novels include World's End (1987, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction); The Road to Wellville (1993); and The Tortilla Curtain (1995, winner of France's Prix Médicis étranger). Boyle has published eight collections of short stories, including Descent of Man (1979), Greasy Lake (1985), If the River Was Whiskey (1989), and Without a Hero (1994). His short stories frequently appear in the major American magazines, including The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, The Atlantic Monthly and Playboy.
The $4.4 Trillion (with a T!) wellness industry has captured the minds, bodies, and wallets of many women. But what are we actually paying for?

Esther Dyson is the executive founder of Wellville, a 10-year national nonprofit project aimed at achieving equitable wellbeing for people . She is a leading angel investor focused on health care, open government, digital technology, biotechnology, and outer space. During the personal computer days, when I was Apple in the 1980s, she was the most powerful and prestigious analyst in the business. She was a king and queen maker. You prayed that she'd cover your product in her newsletter, Release 1.0 or invited you to her conference, but you feared a negative review or getting drilled on stage. People like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, if they didn't fear her, at the very least, realized they better suck up to her. She may not even realize how intimidating she was back then. Esther is the daughter of physicist Freeman Dyson and mathematician Verena Huber-Dyson. She obtained her bachelors in economics from Harvard, She is the author of the bestselling book, Release 2.0: A Design for Living in the Digital Age.
When we started this podcast Amy and I had no idea where the journey would take us. Nor did we know how many amazing people we would get to meet because of it. Today's guest is one of those people. Esther Dyson is a notable investor, board member, entrepreneur and even a one time cosmonaut in training. It's hard to fully define what she has meant to the business world – from technology to aerospace and now health (care). After many years of making her mark as a journalist, investor and board member, today she is the executive founder of Wellville - a 10-year national nonprofit project to cultivate equitable wellbeing in five U.S. communities. Join us for a great discussion with Esther about why she's more interested in “health” than “care.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, investor, journalist, philanthropist, and amateur cosmonaut Esther Dyson joins us to talk about the importance of moving from short-term self interest to long-term shared interest. Esther is the executive founding soul behind Wellville. She talks about this ten-year project and the five US communities participating to improve their own health and wellbeing while inspiring other communities to do the same. We converse about the importance of shifting from a “we” centered way of thinking to one that invests in the success of the whole and we talk about the problem of addiction, how it relates to short term thinking, how it creates competition as opposed to collaboration within a community and how it affects both personal life as well as business growth. Furthermore, we dive into how to build something sustainable and the story behind ICANN.

Get Inside the Psyche of a True Though Leader-Esther Dyson, Founder and Philanthropist at Wellville, 23 AND Me, and (wait for it) a Cosmonaut This Generation Bold interview is a must-listen for anyone who wants to start thinking like a thought leader…grow their organization, turn ideas into reality. Esther Dyson is a true Renaissance woman, making a change in how we all stay well. Esther is the legendary investor in twenty-three and Me. She can see potential in new ideas and turn ideas into reality. Esther is devoted to Welville, upgrading the health of five selected communities in the US and creating a chain reaction to other communities. If your region gets healthier may be because of Wellville If you never had a conversation with a true thought leader, Esther reveals how she thinks and acts to create change. You will be inspired. She is a journalist, a philanthropist, an investor, and she is a connoisseur of change. She looks to see what will really work and tries to make it happen. And that is not easy. We will be talking about precision medicine, equity in health care, and longevity, how you get people together to really make a difference, and how you get government officials together to make a change in their community. Truth Nuggets from Esther: Truth: Build an organization that spreads success…An endeavor is a true success when it helps others not just to succeed, but in turn to also help someone else succeed. Truth: Inclusivity pays off in community change. The great purpose is thinking long-term. And it is thinking about the community, including people of different races and the poor. If we went to a new community and helped the upper half of the demographic become dramatically healthier, we would consider that a failure. We are really trying to reduce the disparity. We are trying to make the community feel more like a community. We go walking around in the streets doing that ourselves. We are basically helping the people in the community who are good at doing this. We are helping them get better because the people who succeed are more willing to share and collaborate than the people who are struggling. Truth Takeaway for life: Make new mistakes. It is always make new mistakes. Cause that is how you learn. Do not make the same old mistakes. And learn from your mistakes, so you always make ONLY new mistakes. The basic idea is not to be afraid to try stuff, but do not try and fail doing the same thing over and over again. So, it is an encouragement to give things a whirl, like, doing Wellville itself. I mean, sure, people have started things, but no one was doing that. AND YES…SHE IS A COSMONAUT "Okay. So, I trained as a cosmonaut in Russia and spent a few weeks in Baikonur Kazakhstan*. I was a backup. I actually went to the space station and stayed there for a while, as opposed to most of the guys going up right now, or basically going up for a few minutes, hanging out. But they are not actually living there. My goal ultimately is to have it be boring and normal to be weightless. And so, if you stay up there for a week, you get over all nausea. It just feels familiar. So, I have not yet experienced that. I've been weightless a bunch of times, and I've been through the training. So interestingly, when I watch a space movie, my first reaction is, oh yes, I was there." *Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan has been the launch site for Soviet and Russian space missions since the beginning of space exploration in 1957. The first satellite and the first human flew into space from there. Today, the site is heavily used for Soyuz astronaut launches to the International Space Station.
Esther Dyson is the executive founder of Wellville, a 10-year nonprofit project dedicated to demonstrating the value of long-term investment in health and equity. The benefits accrue over time and not always to the investors directly, but overall human bodies and minds are the key to the collective future. Wellville wants to show what it looks like when humans act on that fact. Wellville works in five small communities (Clatsop County, OR; Lake COunty, CA; Muskegon County, MI; North Hartford, CT; and Spartanburg, SC), advising local leaders on scaling local initiatives in areas such as early childhood development, diabetes/obesity reduction, mental health support/trauma-informed care. It advocates a data-rich approach with learning and accountability along the way. Esther spends the other 50% of her time exploring new space, health and IT start-ups and technologies, writing about them and actively (and with full disclosure) investing in some of them. She sits on the boards of BAMF Health, Element 3 Health, PressReader, SWVL and Yandex, as well as nonprofits Charity Navigator, ExpandED Schools, Long Now Foundation and The Commons Project. Her past seats include 23andMe, Evernote, WPP Group, XCOR Aerospace and the Personal Genome Project.
In this episode of The Reference Desk, Katie is bewitched by the strange medical inventions and treatments of John Harvey Kellogg at his Battle Creek Sanitarium. John Harvey Kellogg was a Seventh Day Adventist darling who gained directorship over their medical facility in mid-Michigan just a year after becoming a doctor. What followed was Kellogg becoming the face of modern medicine, beloved by America for bringing a renaissance of health. But behind the famous celebrities and politicians that flocked to his facility is a darker story. Kellogg fought with his brother until his death, completed horrific surgeries on children in the effort to stop the "evil vice," and was a staunch eugenicist who fought to create a national race register.

“My superpower is asking questions, and that's pretty good training for just about anything,” says Raise the Line guest Esther Dyson. She has decades of experience as an advisor to and investor in companies in a wide range of sectors -- from education, to healthcare, to information technology. Her current focus is Welville, an organization she founded that's running a 10 year project aimed at developing models to improve health in small communities. “We're basically a coaching organization. We're not giving them fish and we're not teaching them how to fish. We're helping them build their own fishing schools.” Tune in to this episode of Raise the Line to hear Dyson speak with Osmosis Co-Founder Shiv Gaglani about her fascinating career witnessing the birth of the high-tech era and her nonprofit's current proposal to improve the health literacy of underprivileged children in Muskegon, Michigan by getting them involved in measuring their own glucose. Their ultimate goal? To help communities become healthier and more equitable places, and inspire other communities to do the same. Listen in to find out why Dyson believes the inability to think long-term has caused so many of our problems, and why the “human infrastructure” investments being contemplated n Washington are so important.

Pod Cusack welcomes back comedian MK Doherty to discuss wellness fads, wellness history, poop, boobs, and The Monhonk Mountain House.
In this episode we chat with long time healthcare startup investor, Esther Dyson. Esther has been very influential in the healthcare investing space for quite some time. It’s very hard to run into anyone doing anything meaningful in the broader healthcare space and not find a connection to Esther in some way. She’s the executive founder of Way to Wellville, a non-profit dedicated to demonstrating the value of investing in health, including how the benefits of investing in health accrue over time and not always to the investors directly. Esther spends her time investing in startups, a lot of them in the health space, and she is a board member at a bunch of companies such as 23&Me, Meetup, Yandez, as well as being an early investor in Square and many others. You can connect with Esther here: LinkedIn, Twitter, Wellville Website What If Fellowship Program: https://whatif.vc/fellowship HERE ARE SOME THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT: Esther shares how she found her way into the mental health space as an investor and as an advocate encouraging more people to invest in the space. We talk about the difference between short-term and long-term thinking regarding health solutions and how society needs to decide to invest in better health overall rather than focusing on only the individual. Esther shared her opinion on what is actually beneficial to making a healthier society. It’s not what is being focused on now because we are too busy focusing on the short-term solutions. There’s a disconnect between the number of people who want to fix the healthcare problems and the money that is actually being put towards the solutions. Esther shares why she thinks there is a disconnect and what can be done about it. We discuss the wide range of the meaning of the word addiction and how it is not a moral failing, but rather a learned behavior. Esther shares what early investors should be looking for when choosing which companies to invest in to avoid investing in predatory companies and how to evaluate your investing opportunities to find the right one for you. We talk about what is the most important problem to focus on in the health space and how your personal mission affects your opinion on which problems are the main priority. We talk about the effect that the poor educational system is having on our country and how fixing the health issues around kids in school will hopefully lead to a better future with a healthier society with better access to care.

The unexpected surprise, an actually good movie. Selling us on only sunshine and ideas, the Welville health clinic seduced Lucas and Dylan. A film that somehow feels of the time, and yet severely underappreciated on release. A large cast of characters perfectly weave the various intertwining plots of this ruminating, comedic narrative. There's a bit of election discussion, of course. Skip the first fifteen minutes or so if you're tired of it. We completely understand. We're all slowly decaying from the conversations around this topic.

The town taken hold after a scuffle between some Native Americans and surveyors over food. Later a deal was reached and the NA left leving settlers to take over the land. In the center of town just on the North side of Kalamazoo is the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center. This building is what remians of the famouse or infamous Battle Creek Sanitarium aka “The San”.

An interview with Rick Brush, CEO of WellvilleIf we want the kind of outcomes that we say we want, the only way to achieve those is to collaborate and to do it with a longer-term focus. The short-term fix for an illness might be writing a prescription, the long-term strategy for greater wellbeing improvement is about reshaping communities. A lot of what we're doing with our collaboratives is really pointing further upstream and pointing further into the future. And having those communities come together around what they care about and what they want to achieve over the long haul.Rick BrushMeasuring short- and long-term successThe role of community engagement and collaborationCollective impact Community-led initiatives Having the right people at the table for collaborationHealthcare addressing social determinants of health to improve health outcomes Healthy weight initiatives Addressing health inequities Shifting from short- to long-term thinking about investing in community health Moving upstreamIntegrating healthcare and communitieshttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

Minerals play a huge part in the rehabilitation of two major hormone systems in the body. The three major hormone systems in the body: adrenals, thyroid and sex hormones, I refer to as a three-sided stool. When one of the legs of the stool is shortened, it affects the other two. This can be seen on blood testing; when cortisol levels go up, thyroid hormone levels go down. There is an ongoing debate among natural medicine practitioners about what comes first, adrenal fatigue or thyroid insufficiency and what do you treat first? Dr. Dean has commented that think it’s a moot point because they are often not looking at one of the main causes of both conditions – mineral deficiency, which means you can treat the two conditions simultaneously. The standard treatment for thyroid, even for natural medicine practitioners, is to give thyroid replacement therapy. It may be the more natural form of Armour thyroid, but it’s still treating with hormones instead of treating the reason the thyroid became weakened in the first place. An overwhelming number of our customers now agree - most low thyroid conditions are caused by mineral deficiency. Treating disease in a linear format, one thing at a time is not consistent with the way the body works, where everything is interrelated and works synergistically. It’s usually agreed that the most common reasons for adrenal fatigue and dysfunction are poor diet, mineral deficiency, intense emotional stress, chronic inflammation and an underactive thyroid. But what’s causing the inflammation and underactive thyroid, and what diet is feeding into the problem? Since Dr. Dean has worked closely with Candida (yeast) overgrowth for decades, she knows a poor diet of refined sugars, high gluten wheat, and processed dairy feeds yeast. Diet, antibiotics, and cortisol from acute and chronic emotional stress cause yeast overgrowth. There are 178 different yeast toxins that are produced by yeast in their life cycle. These toxins are absorbed into the bloodstream and lead to a chronic inflammatory state that can cause arthritis, chronic fatigue, and pain. Magnesium and molybdenum help detoxify yeast toxins. Some yeast toxins can directly block thyroid function and possibly adrenal function as well. The best anti-inflammatory agent available to the body is magnesium. When magnesium is depleted because of being overused, adrenal fatigue symptoms continue unabated. The treatment for adrenal fatigue begins with sodium, which is vitally important for proper adrenal function. If your adrenal glands are weak or depleted as indicated by exhaustion, low blood pressure and chronic stress, there is a combined sodium and magnesium depletion. If you start taking large doses of magnesium without replacing sodium, you may feel even worse. Dr. Dean recommends ¼ tsp of sea salt in every quart of drinking water. How much water? Half your body weight in ounces of water. The best diet for the adrenals is a yeast-free diet avoiding sugar, wheat, and dairy to cut down on the body-wide inflammation that yeast produces. Magnesium will also treat inflammation. The adrenals are supported with food-based Vitamin C Complex and Vitamin B Complex like ReAline. The other key ingredient to adrenal health is plenty of rest. Dr. Dean calls it “Lying Down Therapy.” Please don’t think you can “tough it out” and just “muscle your way through” adrenal fatigue. That’s the worst thing you can do. You may require 8-10 hours of sleep and naps to fully recover. It’s extremely important to take care of your adrenals because they are responsible for the production of more than 50 hormones that are essential for proper body function. Extra sleep, rest, sea salt and high dose magnesium work to help alleviate adrenal fatigue. But it’s also important to face the cause of your stress and realize your body may be producing physical symptoms as a result of this stress. Adrenal stress causes loss of minerals, across the board, that need to be replaced. Dr. Dean recommends ReMag for magnesium and ReMyte for its 12 minerals. As noted above, Dr. Dean also recommends ¼ tsp of sea salt in each quart of drinking water for the dozens of trace minerals in salt. Some practitioners suggest that you have to take DHEA and pregnenolone for adrenal repair but Dr. Dean has some more simple suggestions. Instead of immediately jumping to hormone replacement, let’s use the proper building blocks to make our own hormones. For example, transdermal magnesium using ReMag Lotion on the skin will stimulate DHEA receptors. You need cholesterol to make hormones like pregnenolone and for cholesterol so you need good fats such as olive oil and coconut oil. The third requirement for making your own hormones is properly functioning enzyme systems. And we know that in order for enzyme systems to function properly you need lots of bioavailable magnesium. An underactive thyroid, as one of the triggers for adrenal fatigue, has its own list of causes that include thyroid receptor blockage due to yeast toxins. So, the diet for an underactive thyroid is the same as for adrenal fatigue. Six minerals in ReMyte that support thyroid function include iodine, selenium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc. The sex hormones, are also supported by minerals and the proper function of the thyroid and adrenals. DHEA stimulation by transdermal magnesium will stimulate the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. If you suffer from adrenal fatigue and thyroid insufficiency, the information in his blog is enough to get you started on the road to recovery. Another step you can take is to tune into our weekly radio show tonight. You're not alone on your journey to Wellville and the inspiration and encouragement you may require are readily available through our radio community.

This week we discuss A Cure for Wellness (2016), Gore Verbinski's ambitious and gorgeous film intermixing The Road to Wellville (1994) and Shutter Island (2010) with a dash of Frankenstein (1931). We explore how over-eating could defeat James Bond, along with the moral sensibilities of this film (and how you shouldn't watch this with your mother), the link between eel-swallowing and mind control, the occasional impracticality of "obsession laboratory" lair architecture, and the stylings of Cronenbergian shock value in the film.
The legendary investor Esther Dyson is not a big fan of technology. She is a proponent of big ideas, demanding projects with a long-term positive influence on society. Founders of StartupHealth Unity Stoakes and Steven Krein are serial entrepreneurs, driving positive change with innovators working on technological and other innovations in healthcare and medicine. At its inception, the idea behind StartupHealth was simple and very, very, very optimistic: to improve health and well-being of every person in the world. If that seemed like a fantasy seven years ago, the organisation came a long way by now. StartupHealth connects 200 companies, so-called transformers, listed in 10 categories or as they call them - moonshots.

Many American workers are unwell. They live with serious economic insecurity; succumb to diabetes, depression, and addiction at alarming rates; and struggle to balance the conflicting needs of their employers, their families, and their own well-being. That outlook won’t improve until we think of health as the driver of prosperity — not just the product of it. In the U.S., we spend extravagantly on treating illness but spend proportionally less on keeping people healthy than most developed nations. But research shows a strong correlation between healthy communities with little economic disparity and healthy economies. People live longer in the nation's more equal states. What can we do to change the country's focus from health care as a cost with limited returns, to health as an investment that pays off over the long term — socially and economically? How can we better elevate health as a policy priority? Join New America NYC for a conversation on the future of health and wellness — and what both governments and the private sector can do to improve its outlook.

Esther Dyson is perhaps one of the most coveted investors of our time….Not only does she have an impeccable track record (including investments in MeetUp, Evernote, Square, 23andMe, LinkedIn, Facebook, Startup Health, HealthLoop, Patients Like Me, and dozens of others), but her insatiable thirst to explore the impossible and the undiscovered makes her un-matched in her ability to identify opportunity where others do not. On this episode, we get into the mind of Esther’s core investment philosophy, explore the influences of her upbringing, and discuss her quest to make health profitable through her latest venture, Way to Wellville. We discuss why asking the right questions is key to solving the mysteries of business, why our health system is so broken, and what we can do to help course correct an industry that has repeatedly failed us. All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Esther Dyson Esther Dyson is a Swiss-born American journalist, author, businesswoman, investor, commentator and philanthropist. She is a prominent angel investor focused on breakthrough startups in healthcare, government transparency, digital technology, biotechnology, and space. Esther Dyson is currently focusing her career on health as the Executive Founder of WaytoWellville, an initiative focused on investing in health as an asset. The goal is to build networks through community organizing to increase access to and use of beneficial services, activities and resources to improve the health of residents in five model communities. Ultimately, Dyson hopes to utilize big data to demonstrate the economic value of investing in health and affect large scale change. After graduating from Harvard with a BA in economics, Dyson began her career as a fact-checker for Forbes before heading to Wall Street where she worked as an analyst. This led to a partnership with Ben Rosen in the emerging personal computer and online world. She bought Rosen Research in 1983 and renamed it EDventure Holdings. After 25 years with the company, Dyson sold it and pursued an interest in angel investing and health care. Dyson is unmatched in her ability to identify opportunity where others do not, and she is currently on a mission to make health profitable. Key Interview Takeaways Ask good questions. Dyson credits her success to an ability to craft the right questions and listen to the answers with a truly open mind. She believes that her true education began after she finished college (where you learn about things people already know) and became a reporter, working to discover the things people didn’t already know. We must shift our focus from health care to health. Dyson argues that health care is expensive and remedial, a function of chasing after our health once we’ve already lost it, whereas health is the capacity of the human body and mind to renew itself. Zip code determines individual health more than any other factor. Too many Americans are born into an environment that destroys their health rather than building it. WaytoWellville seeks to transform the health ecosystem in five communities, providing a prototype to initiate large scale change. To affect change, people must be accountable for making it happen. Dyson contends that much like building a physical bridge, building a community that is conducive to health requires standards, workers, a budget, deliverables, etc. Meaning well is not enough. To overcome the challenge of personal accountability, peer groups must be led by members of their own community. A network of support at the neighborhood level is the only way to change behavior, thus WaytoWellville helps communities launch and run their own programs. If we invested in health rather than health care, costs would go down. Dyson is working to make the economic case for investing in programs aimed at providing health coaches to help people understand how to take care of themselves and their children long before they need an expensive high-end p...

Constipated? Take relief: it's probably not because your sphincter is too tight. In this month's episode of SHHH, The Puru sits down with Dr. Daniel Gerling, Assistant Professor at Augustana University and perhaps the foremost expert on poop history in the United States (who else could write the dissertation, "American Wasteland: A Social and Cultural History of Excrement, 1860-1920"?). Hear Danny explain why American occupiers collected over 120,000 jars of Filipino feces, how the demodex (eyelash mite) may be the only creature that doesn't poop, and why sphincter expanders were recommended as a cure for constipation in the early 1900s. Put down that fork--this is one fascinating hour you might not want to eat through.
