"Team four and WTO be news. Working together to help you deal with the weather. 6 28. Traffic and weather on the 8s, Dave dildine, Thanksgiving any better out there. Yeah, on the beltway, there aren't any major incidents right now. Congestion is going to linger a little longer. It takes a little longer to get a move on with the drizzle and the road spray on evenings like this in Montgomery county, two 70 northbound off the spur, the crashed cars were moved onto the right shoulder, no injuries with that when delays will start easing. And that's been the cycle throughout the afternoon, really. Well, volume delays in the Baltimore Washington Parkway, of course, 50 eastbound, slowing from day to day drive to the bay bridge with no two way traffic given the weather conditions. In Virginia, the crash we mentioned on the outer loop, by the way, after van dorn, it's on the left shoulder now as well drivers are moving out of the left lane, but the lane is open if you can't move over safely. And it's going to be slower beyond that anyway toward the Wilson bridge. Northbound traffic on 95 and three 95 tends to be slow Friday evenings, especially on a wet Friday evening. Dale City into woodbridge near newington and through Springfield to continue north on three 95 and across the 14th street bridge. 66 rush hours pretty much over just a little heavy in on the Roosevelt bridge. West the beltway all is well despite the road spray. And in annandale, we have the crash on what we had the crash on Braddock wrote it back like road. I don't know if it's still there or not. It's probably not there. I've had a lot of crashes across the region given the slick conditions, but we haven't had anything serious or earth shattering lately. In the district, it's going to be slow on D.C. two 95 southbound from burrows avenue toward east capitol street, northbound. It's still slow near Pennsylvania avenue, but volume delays are easing and on interstate two 95, the interstate components south of the 11th street bridge, volume delays pretty much eased out entirely back in Maryland on 95 southbound slow traffic near the Columbia and Laurel exits. But again, not too many record breaking crashes or anything to worry about, just lingering Friday evening congestion. Silver dieter is ready to play ball after 33 years silver diner is now in D.C. across from Nats park, silver diner brings us healthy in its classic menu options to the navy yard neighborhood, eat well do well.

Are You a Dieter or Disordered Eater?
"We're going to look at. How dieting and disordered eating are similar. We're gonna look at what disordered eating looks like. And then we're also going to talk about what you can do to heal from disordered eating how you can start to take action if this is something that you struggle with. So we'll start by talking about what disordered eating actually is. And then i'll share with you. How dieting is very similar to disordered eating so when we look at the definition of disordered. Eating it's really used to describe a range of irregular eating behaviors. And it's important to know that this is just a description. It is not a diagnosis. So disordered eating is not a diagnosis. But it doesn't mean that it's not a valid struggle which will talk about a little bit. Everyone who struggles with an eating disorder has disordered eating. But not everyone who has disordered eating struggle with an eating disorder. So i think that's a really important distinction here An eating disorder must fit a very specific narrow criteria in order to be diagnosed and disordered. Eating doesn't have to fit that particular narrow definition And also it's not a diagnosis. But here's the thing. I really don't want you to get caught up in the fact that there is no official diagnosis for disordered eating. Because that doesn't mean that your struggles aren't real. It doesn't mean that they aren't valid. You do not need a diagnosis in order to get support in order to ask for help in order to know that what you are going through is really

We're gonna we're gonna make we're not gonna make bob that angry, I don't think on this show, I think we're gonna talk about your reasonably and yes, no, no, no. I need to get in a pot shot about all of that. Before we really got into the nitty Gritty, I want to talk some real basketball, not the drama. Let's have some fun here. Dieter, how you doing? How is how are things? You're on the radio, like many hours a day and you're writing. And it feels like you've got a lot going on in your life. Tell the truth. I do what's going on. I do, but this is the good stuff, right? Like forty-niners training camp is going, the warriors are in this fascinating transitional phase, clearly post dynasty, but trying to stay relevant and setting up for something in the future and you've got summerly going on and as you well know, I think you wrote roughly a 100,000 words about summer league. And then baseball's happening, which is something old people who read my newspaper still care about. Oh boy, it's a great time to be in the bay. Pretty much goes without saying most of the time, but right now it feels especially fertile for somebody like me. And yeah, I'm excited to be back though. I mean, this is one of my first love Sam talking talking some hoofs with you. So I'm glad to be able to do it again. Yeah. I mean, just enjoying we find ways to get together and talk on the phone, but often we're so busy that we just struggle unless we're doing something for the content. It's tough. Yeah, we need that anchor. We need that thing to pull us, and we gotta stay together for the content, you know? Yeah, yeah. I mean, we try to call. We try to text. We try to get times together. And it's just it ends up being tricky, 'cause I'm on the other side of the world now. It's really my fault. Like moving moving to the other side of the world is just like completely. I feel it. I feel like this is payback because we used to get together like every Friday bar none and shoot the shit for hours on end at the beanery. And then I moved to the bay, moved back to the bay and fuck that up, and you're like, I'm gonna one up you curtain buck. I move into fucking Australia, deal with it. And oh my God.

"You described. Yes oh yeah in the context if you don't have product development dedication probably should because it can be a key. Part of diligence integration. Where you see given state platform developing the future etcetera salesforce. You started a new chapter of your career. What is your irwindale. So current role a business value advisor so essentially at help our customers identify in realize dieter received from their investment in our platform. Can you give me an example. What that looks like. Yeah sure at the end of the day folks will make investments and like many technology investments. There's a whole lot of functionality that can be deployed salesforce is no different in so customers will often want to quantify the impact that a given investment has on the guy that's created at large so we tend to think about thanks in terms of enterprise. not died related to a given product solution that we might deliver so we tend to if you think about this from a strategic standpoint. Just like him in a. I always say it's probably the most explicit manifestation of corporate strategy simply because republicans nature telling the st how great deal is almost always if it's a certain sizes see sweden at cetera. Set up as just one leg of potential strategy for an enterprise you could have ninety organic growth strategies other markets. You'd like to tap etcetera cetera. What we'd like to do is get an understanding of what your strategic goals are. An particularly salesforce has grown. Over the years such a wealth of functionality in a platform that if you can align to some of the performance indicators so in many cases these are the leading indicators that have a relationship to ultimately whether or not you achieve those goals so we help our customers identify the relationship between their overall goals in somebody indicators that we can help drive impact whether or not they achieve those goals making sure. There's absolutely no doubt about it. In in some cases that's a real explicit exercise with the customer. I now the cases that is both a qualitative quantitative anecdotal exercise. It really depends. On where the customers in terms of their ability to measure somebody's indicators and their ability to act upon what does indicators tell them. In order to have an impact on strategic outcomes and then even emanate fall into the absolutely. There's no doubt about it so we're not talking to a customer about what your strategic values are our strategic objectives. Are you will probably have both organic and inorganic goals among them. Even for your growth. And you've probably got. Maybe other organizational goals that are not as rigorous quantitatively but emanate certainly in fit into that on our common challenges of assessing value realization. The biggest challenge are establishing measurement mechanisms with customer. Excel i e. Customer needs to agree upon. What measures are really good indicators value and if you can establish a powerful leading indicators most folks who deal on these things realize that it you provide yourself there really powerful tool to affect the outcome so if you see an indicator trending in a way that's not favorable agusan time for the rubber has met the road in order to make sure you can course correct to try to achieve your objective. But the only way you can do that. If you're actually measuring and more rigorously you're measuring your indicators. That better sometimes these indicators will be at a fairly granular level so at activity-based activity-based Employees and so if you don't have ways to measure those again with measures that's kinda like you mentioned about rating deal success. It's better to have a well understood. Well communicated and something that you can track easily enough as indicated rather than something that's absolutely provide to the extent customers have those Vice they have a much greater chance at not only measuring the value being received but having an impact on the Value realized we see that many cuffs for various reasons. It's not always of capability. In many cases better bandwith priority without the measurement methods to really provide themselves with a level of confidence. They can sleep on getting visibility as data. You wiring some. Bi tools together. And yeah it really depends on i. What those strategic goals are and then what those indicators might be. Many cases in the context of salesforce in other technology companies data could be had strictly from the platform itself in other cases. You may have an indirect impact on customers goal in other words. Your particular technology may be heaven. Indirect impact on may be other things within the customers visit have more direct but in any case you still have an impact in those might be measured outside of the platform case. You need to rely more on the customer. But even if a chan- measured within a given platform it doesn't mean it is not forget some of the statistics but with respect to not enterprise software but respected like user software. What percent of functionality. If people use it even common software tools always a miniscule amount with the same can be said about enterprises with enterprise software. It's field into the not only the partner but the customer themselves to make a commitment to really leverage that functionality in order to be able to provide those megadeath part of what we do in business value is to make sure the customer understands tangible. Here's what it could look like because we a mosaic prospectively first and then hopefully. That's a good enough selling tool so that the customer will invest the ban with the mindshare into not only selecting the right indicators but mechanism measure them really need a lot of variables to map out forever unique organizations after the. Yeah definitely those who make that commitment. Really don't have to wonder or take wild guesses as to whether or not they're really getting bang for the buck.

Grieving Your Ideal Body Weight
"Feel like so many people who identify as dieters or like the healthy friend or the one who tries is always trying to lose weight or is always trying to you know do a diet or be the fit friend or whatever it is you know regardless of what your body size is when you're going through all of that and maybe you don't even identify as that but other people have identified you as that right and we can all see this especially when we go to you know if we think of our families the people that we typically see around the holidays like oh aunt. Susan is the one that's always on a diet. You know something like that. But i went through a similar process of you know always being like the fit friend and the healthy friend and the one who was always looking at food blogs and stuff like shocker which led me to start my own food blog that was borderline disorder at the time right.

And it's gotten to the point where i feel like my value that i provide in. This world is just based on my body size there. Is this grieving period of like. Oh my gosh. I've been one. I've been hurting myself this whole time. And then on the second hand it's like what do i do going forward and i feel like a lot of people especially when they go through different life. Changes like you mentioned you know moving in with your boyfriend now husband at the time kind of forces you to go through that change and it's really uncomfortable because you don't want to go out of your routine out of what feels good to you right because like habit routine were like. Oh i want to stick to that and anything outside is like no no. That's not my comfort zone and especially when it can lead to body changes or what feels like a loss of identity. It's like you said you're like grieving past self but then there's also this worry of like if this isn't me who am i. And what do i do going forward.

"I like I like I like that. I like that song. You made a very compelling case for Demar who has been I don't think as good as last year in the Box Score, but I can't disagree with anything you're saying in terms of overall impact and it should be noted that home in tempting 13 13 and 1/2 shots per game as opposed to you know, obviously they speak 20 and you know that's diminished over the last few years, but it's fewer shots per game with the assist going up. So he if he if you didn't already know this from watching the Spurs. He's the Hub used to be that they did the volatility Aldridge and he would kind of figure it out and DeRozan was secondary option no longer the case off at the Baltimore Demar makes the right decision. So there's a lot of stuff that doesn't show up. I'm just repeating your points here and it doesn't show up in the box score that that he deserves credit for so you make a very compelling case them but Shay is much in the opposite way of Mike Conley right? When you watching my, you'd never go this guy's an All-Star every time you shoot she Gillis Alexander. You're like, Oklahoma City to be losing by a t if it was off. For this guy. Yeah, the way she is not like a highlight guy like I mean his oh, no not like hey, let's watch a Throwdown this crazy. Okay, let's watch him throw this behind-the-scenes. Inky's no Zion.

It won't stick with him cuz he doesn't have that temperament. He goes through too many vowels, but too easy is a very cool nickname. That should stick to somebody else at some point. I'm a none too easy too many nicknames for for something. No one's ever. The only the only reason anyone's ever referred to him is El Matador is because his defense hasn't been all that great. Like that's a pejorative new age. So Ill Nino Maravilla, yeah, I am guessing is like the wonderful storm like Mera V I think as a place God I mean I'm so looking it up on Florida condo rentals. I'm looking it up on Google one. It's the it's the wonderful child Maravilla the wonderful child off. Okay, that works kind of lame the wonderful prodigy or something. Yeah, just do Prodigy just call and Lucas like you can call it a day. It's a good name. That's the other thing. That's the beautiful. Yeah Life by Dire like my whole life like, you know, sometimes you don't need the nickname. Sometimes you just like his name is Zion Williamson. How about your not being that if you refer LeBron James? Oh, he's the king like, okay. That's great. Cuz he's LeBron. He's done it for like ninety years and it's been better than anybody else. But like his name is also LeBron. There's no other LeBron I get away writing using LeBron Jersey. First name as second reference. I don't have his last name. Yeah, I do that design and LeBron and Luka to and stuff and like there's there's no others. There's no other choice. That's the only one Dame there's no others. I mean the beauty of this era is that we don't have like forty Orioles and we have a bunch of really cool different names. And so we don't have to come up with cool nicknames cuz Earl the Pearl. Well, that was a great one cuz then he was the portal cuz there was like nineteen other Earls. So what's the best basketball nickname right now? Oh God. I was thinking about this the other day. We haven't really shity nicknames. I know we don't have money sniper or the slim Reaper are pretty good for Durant. Pretty good. I like slim Reaper a lot, huh?

I I'm with you I get to the kings are better than the thunder. It's not by many games in a way, but they are better than the Thunder Sacramento isn't like making anybody sit up and take notice. They're they're painful to watch sometimes very enjoyable to watch but yeah, gosh, I want to Chuck wailer. I probably watched More Kings games. I probably watch more Kings and hornets games than any other teams in the League this year just because they're so fun. Like if I'm just flipping through their bond league pass through Thursday. I'm just like, oh, yeah, I'll just watch these teams cuz they're super great. And I know that I'm getting I'm watching them.

Okay, I frankly think he's having a better year than Devin Booker. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, I would I get I still have calmly in there because of the defensive numbers and just what it's clear that the Jazz are really good but they're at a different level one commonly plays and maybe I'm putting too much stock in the advanced numbers. But when it comes down to Fox vs Alexander, I'm with you Alexander over Fox thought I think it's great that fox did this conversation? I would like to be having the same conversation next year right like that. That's where I would like it to be. Yeah, like I don't think we can put indictment on him overall. Yeah.

"Yeah Mike, I just want to make sure my list he's in he's in for me so clearly didn't want so we met when you watch the Suns like Chris Paul just like dominating play in a very real way point got unbelievable player unbelievable player for a 19in send team. I have to put Chris Paul in the All-Star Game have to do with you. You can't watch the song. Who have been very good? I'm much I'm extremely bullish on the sun. You can't watch him and not think that Chris pause the best player on that team, even if the numbers aren't all the way there, but he just didn't still so many positive things to that Squad. It was a great deal the moment that it was made and it is only proven to be that ten times over ever since since the actions of started. He's the dude he used to do for that team that team deserves an All-Star. That's the easy argument we can get into a more complicated one if you want. Well, I think that the easy argument is like watch Chris play basketball, right like Chris Paul is invest defender of this group by far. He is the best passer of this group best playmaker by far not all of his contributions even show off in the Box sheet box box score and the stat sheet. Right? Right really just as. You want to put into stuff like that like we we can have those conversations all day every day off. Clearly has enough in the Box in the box score on the stat sheet to be warranted an All-Star. But oh, yeah, he also does all that other stuff too or he's a coach on the floor. He's you know a Guiding Light for a very young team. He's helping along prodigiously talented Center who who was getting kind of lost here and there in DeAndre. Ayton. He's put Devin Booker in a much more positive situation to win ballgames for the sons. He just when that when that team goes on the court and maybe this was started last year in the bubble when they went on a seeded and it certainly helps that they have Monty Williams who I've been a big Monty Williams fan for a long time, but like that team goes on the court every night and expects to win..

"So the other guys that were in conversation for me that ultimately did not get picked Jamal Murray. Yep, who has been good for the last like two weeks. But throughout the course of speaking more than not be great. You still averaging like 21 points four rebounds and four assists in his like shot the hell out of the ball like normal, but in general has not been as good. I think it's worth noting him. I do think that he's really in the mix for like a finalist spot here. Devin Booker is interesting to me kind of a tough conversation. I think because 24 points four rebounds assists hasn't been nearly as responsible for initiating the sun's offenses. He's been in the past. I think there is obviously a good thing for the sun's I mean not not not to take anything away Booker but like he's not a point guard it is yeah and I think that there is like a real case for putting him within the finalists and it's probably worth discussing him in the context of Mike Conley de'aaron Fox Shade Gilda's Alexander Chris. Paul will do that momentarily. CJ McCollum just deserves mention. He was averaging 26 a game before he got hurt. Yeah, he took exceptional. I just can't take a guy that has missed over half of a team's games at the end of the day like, it's just it's tough. I think to do that. Yeah, Brandon Ingram is the last guy. I want to mention Brands. Yeah been really good this year. I just it's he's not died on he's not as good as I on and his defense is frankly not as good as ions in Zion his cellphone not a bad on defense. So yes, like I think that there's a real case that Brandon has been just as good as he was last year when he made the All-Star game, but the rest of the West has pushed up in a way that kind of knock em out. I think I think that's the nice way to put it. I've been underwhelmed by him at stretches of this year. Obviously the ceiling is still high like to see it a little bit higher would like to see a little more progression wage. But there's also you know, you have to take into account new coach knew, you know, a lot of lot of moving Parts down there in New Orleans. So hopefully they start figuring it out. He can get back to the consistent Excellence that he was displaying last year cuz he certainly no longer, you know a nice new story. This is this is what you expect out of them now considering the year he had last year where he was just took some absolutely awesome just doesn't feel like he's at that exact same level this year. Maybe he's think he has that's fine. He certainly hasn't been better than it and we're always looking for progression on things like this, Okay, so that gives us one two, three, four five six seven finalists for for Spock Marta Rosen Zion Williamson, Chris.

Yeah, they just like they just don't I just don't understand it like every year every year. I wait for the Blazers to fall off and every year they fall off in every way but record because Dame just keeps this thing afloat. I mean McCallum was awesome when he was playing and I thought for sure it was curtains for them when he went out and they've gotten significantly better in win-loss. So I don't I don't know. I mean honestly like Damon Steph I think need to be in that top two years, but that's a whole other conversation for a whole of the day. He should be a starter if he's not a starter then everyone should have been one hundred percent balloting for him being a reserve. So yeah. No, he said he's off. Yeah, everything that Damian Lillard is about I love it very clearly should be a western conference starter. Let's move on. Okay, the next two guys I have is no doubters. Well, let's let's go to Anthony wage. First cuz Anthony Davis also is like a no-doubter this year honestly, but he is also out but he's not going to play in the All-Star Game Anthony Davis for me right now would be my pick for offensive player of the year still. I know that there have been other conversations about Rudy gobert about Ben Simmons Etc. Anthony Davis holds the entire defense together for the number one defense in the NBA. Yep, opposing players in the league, like absolutely universally respected him as a Defender even in a way that other players don't Garner the same respect as Anthony Davis does wage frankly like I don't tend to make these arguments, right? But Anthony Davis is still not want a defensive player of the year award and that's fucking insane to me. Yeah. No I'm with you and not you know not do in life time Achievement Award stuff, which is why I'm not as high on LeBron friend VP this year though, that seems to be taken care of itself. Cuz Anthony Davis I would argue is about the best player on the Lakers this year. I mean you think about what Thursday? Baker's trump card, it is over other teams they score but they're not like exceptional.

"Is it fans players and media make the choices for Eastern Conference All-Stars the trail to suck. Yeah. I mean look like the like the Packers voted for I think it was like three hundred and ten separate players got votes. Who was the worst one. Do you know? That's that's what I I didn't see it. Go ahead. And so Kostas antetokounmpo off ten volts. I mean what? Yeah, so like I can we might be able to explain that a little bit on the basis of he has the last name right now, but like if players are going to like complain about media Not Dead Shit, and they're going to vote for 310 players and look like I think there's absolutely a case for like most of the media that vote for these Awards probably should not have Award votes that affect a nice money right hundred percent hundred percent, but at the same token like guys, come on, like if you're going to complain about taking it seriously, you guys also take it seriously too. That's all I'm asking for life. I'm just asking for like a little bit of player accountability in that regard. We like journalists need to also be accountable because holyshit there are some bad takes out there. And I totally side with the players ninety percent of the time when they complain about the way that they're treated by journalists, but like oh, yeah, this is one case where I'm like, all right. This is your chance to do something different and you decided to vote for 310 separate players for All Stars. Like let's start the Brad Wanamaker pick was a little bit much. I thought the valid maybe a little bit of a stretch having watched him on a near-daily basis wage. Stupid I mean Jeff Teague getting all those it's not not for me. Not for. Oh my God. Okay. So the stars in the East Kyrie Irving Bradley Beal Kevin Durant Giannis. Antetokounmpo Joell embiid. Honestly, I I'm like totally good with those starters. You could maybe squabble with Kyrie in my opinion. Like he's definitely an All-Star though. Like no question about that. Yeah. Yeah without question. It's just a question of did he play enough games? And right. I think you can make the argument that he didn't but if you say that he did then he's absolutely a starter. Yeah, so we're gonna have to dive deep into that conversation here and all kind of explain is I go kind of how I did this so I picked the seven all stars that I have before we get back to those pics. I want to First say like the guys that are in conversation. I want to say the no doubters. I want to say like the finalists for these pics and then my dog Will picks for these? Okay. Yeah, that sounds good. So the guys that are in conversation, I think for these spots domantas sabonis James Harden Myles Turner Jaylen Brown abroad and Jayson Tatum Pascal siakam. Khris Middleton Fred vanfleet, bam. Adebayo Nikola vucevic. Jeremi Grant Gordon Hayward Tobias Harris. I think that off and then Ben Simmons trade Zach LaVine Julius Randle Jimmy Butler. I think that that's the world you're talking about here. Those are the players that are even remotely in this discussion. And I think that the best way to do this is to kind of just name the guys that I think are like no doubt or Reserve X already and just knock those guys out, right? Yeah. Yeah, so I'm going to go first you want to name one. Yeah. So James Harden for me is like a no-doubter like James Harden has to be an All-Star this off. Right hundred percent with James Harden since getting to Brooklyn has been just fucking exceptional. He is very clearly was just not taking off..

"You start to unpack the potential for meaning in everything you do. It's just a shift in priorities. But what a change. That's what it's a truer than true. I love that this is my story my truth. Yeah that's planning that flag that's belief. Yeah exactly so exactly so when you think about like when when people is exiled lose their home and they lose everything you know. They can't be where they used to be. The thing that they get to keep is their story the first thing that they create when they get to a new place is their story. The thing that they celebrate is their story. You are the hero of a story. Decide that you know what i'm going to share mine. It's amazing and the thing is. I didn't come up with this. It's written into the dna of our spirits. We are story people you know. We're parable centered people so decide. You're the hero of a story like that. An amazing things will start to have one thing. Life starts to happen through you instead of happening to you. And that's a big deal. It's that sense of be. That reminds me of that. Great viktor frankl. Quad manned of man is not as some philosophers teach to endure the meaningfulness of life rather to bear his incapacity to grasp. Its unconditional in meaningfulness in rational terms. Okay i liked that a lot in other words meaning is already happening means any happening. Yes i love that it's in that's really important because i think that we are so often taught that. Were supposed to make something happen if you see a title like meaning fulfilled okay. Well how do i make meaning and it feels like a self help thing. I'm gonna make meaning half nothing important is something that you make. It already is when you think about love. You don't create love you know it's like a. It's like anything import. You don't create inspiration. Inspiration is and you tune into its love already is and you tune into a minister. So i think about church doesn't happen because there is drywall. And two by fours and pews and building church doesn't happen as a byproduct of the materials church happens to those materials. Love doesn't happen because there's a berry white flowers love happens to though says it's one of those things right so we need to get to the place where we realized that. There's something already going on and that is really important because one of the things that i have experienced a lot in the coaching work i do counselling and all of that is a lotta people feel like i have to earn my right to be happy. People go if. I can't be happy unless i got all the things off my to do list. I get up extra early. Ellison all the self-help stuff in my car do all that they don't do it because it makes them happy they because they're trying to fill a hole as important distinction in. I ask people a lot. Why do you do what you do. Do you do things because it makes you happy or do you do it. Because you're trying to not feel sad and that might sound like the same thing but it's not the same thing at all. I mean Do you do what you do because it makes you feel smart or you do what you do because you're just trying to protect yourself from feeling dumb. Do you do what you do because you wanna live the dream or do you do what you do. Because you're just trying to make the nightmare and those are very different things right so people who feel like you know what i have to earn my right to be happy. Happy is intangible. it's not a finish line. Is it so you're never gonna get there if you're trying to fill whole you're gonna learn the whole is bottomless because you are boundless. It doesn't work that way. So what i really have to work on with people sometimes as the idea that you know what happiness is unearned meaning is unearned just sits in the same way that gravity is earned. You don't have to earn the right to not spin off into space or whatever it just is and your job is to feel happy or sad about it or use it and grow meaning already is. It doesn't matter get it or not the feel nasty big deal so what i try to tell people. Is you know what you want this thing that you already have. Your job is to figure how to see it. And that's solvable. Problem makes me happy right there. I am as a wild man and just feel that vibe is flowing through. i love looking at that angle. What is your intention with love it. How do you choose to see. Yeah yeah because you know. There are people who hung out with jesus or with gone near the buddha or mohammad or moses or you name it there are people who hung out with those amazing heroes and didn't get it so it's not just about proximity a big hunk of this is about intention. Why are you here are here. Because you're trying to get something over on somebody. Are you here because you're trying to not feel bad. I understand that feeling. But that's not especially helpful and you know part of this evolutionary. Where another animal would evolve solution to a problem you know they developed longer. Legs are bigger wings or they can breathe underwater. Whatever us humans are reasonably unique because we don't evolve that we invent something. We advanced scuba gear. We build a shelter. We invent pants. We invent things to solve the problem. We adapt to the situation. And that's really interesting in really great. It's it's a very special thing that we were really good at. We don't have a thick hyder or spike sir horns or wings. We just have this ability to adapt and that's great but it also means if we're not careful we can adapt to misery and think that it's okay when you look at all of the things that us. Humans have invented amazing beautiful things. The thing they all have in common is the motivation is almost always. Don't die. you know. We invented scuba gear. So we don't die underwater. We invent the shelter so we don't die from wyan attacks. Don't die is great. it's there's nothing wrong with. Don't die but there's a big difference between don't die and really living and the truth is there's a lot of people in the world who've got real problems who need food and all that. I'm not trying to say that we're done solving the problems. But by and large you know you. And i are sitting here. Talking on computers over wireless internet across great distances in a we got roof over our heads. I ate breakfast this morning. And you know all that kinda stuff that don't die. Problem is largely solved in our culture and for the people who don't have that solution. We don't actually solve the problem. We just share of the solution right. We don't have to come up with something. The problem is salt and so it's time for us as a people to evolve past basically the bronze age in a lot of ways. A lot of people are still thinking the same thoughts in solving the same problem that they were in the bronze age. Don't die problem and it's time for us to grow up. Don't die is not the same as really living. We gotta start asking the question instead of what's going to keep me safe. 'cause you're safe. We're going to start asking the question what's gonna let me live. This is an evolutionary leap. And it's about time. Today's episode is sponsored by anka.

Feed Yourself Like You'd Feed a Loved One
"The topic of what. I'm supposed to be eating has taken up way way more of my thinking than i care to admit. I have spent an embarrassing chunk of my adult life plotting and planning new diet regimes. I spent hours fantasizing. This time i really will perfectly adhere to that. Unnecessarily uber strict new eating plan and i- inevitably become sad and disappointed. When surprise surprise. I fail again to live up to the superhuman dia goals. I've set for myself. Because i then feel like i wind up comforting myself with whatever off-limits food. I was trying to limit in the first place. And that's why. I was so taken by andrea on her work. She knows exactly will all. This feels like because she went through these very same behaviors in worse for years. I think it's really important to be open about the troubling relationship that many of us have with food and eating but knowing you under his personal history. I was a bit nervous about asking her to share all the details. What was once the biggest shameful secret of my life now my career so there is kinda nothing. I don't talk about anymore because there's no shame anymore. Because i know it wasn't my fault and i know you know it was all passed down innocently and having found a way to climb out him. I'm happy to share what i've been through so that permission. I asked andrew to explain her journey towards eating with greater self compassion beginning with our very earliest memory of when body image and disordered eating took over her life basically. I started dieting. When i was about twelve years old and it was the first time i remember having someone comment or say something shameful towards my body up until that point. I don't really remember thinking all that much about my body. Even though my mom was and still is a chronic dieter. But when i was about twelve i got teased about the size of my eyes and i call it a dart in the heart moment where something happens and you feel terrible about it. Usually terrible about yourself usually make decisions as a result that are not generally healthy or helpful. And so i felt terrible about my body decided that i needed to lose weight and i started my first diet and like i said. My mom was already dieting at the time. My older sister already dieting. And i just hopped on what i now. Call the diet. Riot roller coaster. So talk about what it was like to be on that diet roller coaster inside well once i started obsessing it was this constant soundtrack and it colored my life. Now some people can die. I call them. Lightweight dieters pun intended some people can diet and it doesn't take over their lives and some people. It's a real huge obsession and leads to problems. And then many people that leads to full-blown eating disorders. And that's what happened with me. I just became obsessed. Which is the natural response to dieting. I started sneak eating all the food that i wasn't supposed to have on the diet and had huge weight fluctuations. I did have a life. I went to school and i eventually went to college. I had lots of friends and summer jobs but on the inside. No matter what i was doing there was this constant soundtrack of what i was eating what i wasn't eating what someone else was eating and not eating. What my buys. Look why. Compared to this i just was constantly obsessed and that really colored my my life so the sounds like a horrible soundtrack to turn on in your own head but here we are at the start of the new year and so many people are willingly jumping on this diet. Roller coaster tell me kind of how that makes you feel as somebody who studied this for so long. Well it's sad because it's kind of the solution that people are given and even though the diet industry is hugely successful and multibillion dollar industry that continues to grow it's got pretty much a ninety five percent failure rate. People think that they themselves are failing that they're just failing the diets but really the solution that were given to body image issues and to binging or overeating is to diet and the solution that were given the diet is part of the problem. So i feel sad about it and i. i know what it's like to spend your life obsessed on food and going to parties and not being able to eat what others are eating or what you really want or eating out of control once you quote slip or break or go off the diet so i know that only too well and i also know what the effects of dieting are. And and there's the it'd is a roller coaster. So what some of the negative behaviors you noticed in yourself. You talked about your obsessive thinking but did you also have behaviors. That made you worry that something wasn't right. You're on this kind of strange roller coaster. Oh absolutely. I snuck eight constantly. I tried to eat what. I had deemed good foods in front of people and then naturally a what i deemed bad foods or what i was taught were bad foods. I would throw food away in an attempt to get rid of it and then get it out of the garbage and eat it again. I mean just they call it in alcoholics anonymous and the twelfth step arena. They call it incomprehensible demoralization things that i never dreamed i would do. There were times. I would steal people's food when i was out of control with food

"Last time for those writing it down here. We got 1 804 9975. 05. Okay. Chris talked about some of the headlines just on the green tea that we didn't get to yet. I understand that Dieter's just love green tea because it supports healthy fat metabolism. Is that right? And what does the research say about green tea when it comes to weight management? Well, this is one of the especially wonderful things about green tea, Pat. We know that green tea. Has thermo genic properties that is, it has heat generating properties in the body, so it actually causes your body to burn more calories. So when you eat a meal, you're going to burn more calories from that meal as a result of taking a good well made concentrated green tea extract. In addition, it has specific fat oxidation properties. It actually burns fat. I'm not suggesting that you're going to lose £20 in a week, but I am saying that this is going to help your body to metabolize fat more efficiently. Over time. Taking a green tea extract can help you to have a better fat to lean muscle ratio. So from a weight control standpoint, this is very good news. Additionally, Green tea helps to stabilize blood glucose or blood, sugar and unstable blood. Sugar is one of the contributing factors to increased weight. So by stabilizing blood sugar, you have an effect on weight control and weight management. So it's really quite remarkable stuff. You need enough of it. We've got enough of it in green tea, CR. It has to be the right extract. We've got the right extract. But the science is there for healthy weight management right now, Chris, you say that with purity is formula. It provides you with about three cups worth of green tea and each to capsule serving of these cutting edge liquid soft gel. So you get all of the green tea is concentrated, Ben. If it's for energy for heart health for alertness in just two soft gel caps. Plus you get the curcumin and the resveratrol, too. So it's easy. You call it your daily shortcut to better health. Explain this idea of a healthy shortcut and explain some of the top benefits as well. Well, I mean, you could, for example, drink three cups of good concentrated green tea each day. Need at least one really rich curry made with a lot of tumeric route and drink a couple of glasses of red wine. You could do that every day. Most people will not do that every day, but they still might want the benefits of three of the biggest superstar protective health enhancing nutrients on the entire planet. So when I call this the daily shortcut, I'm simply saying that you can get in the capsule in a good liquid soft gelatin capsule. What you'd otherwise have to get by drinking a few cups of tea eating at least one large, you know, tumeric laden curry everyday and drinking a couple of glasses of concentrated red wine again. We're talking with Chris Kill him the medicine hunter. Now in this new green tea CR formula from purity. It's really about the research share with us some of your favorite studies and the Headlines on the curcumin that we didn't get to yet I know this is one of your favorite ingredients for joint comfort and even for brain health. Well, I especially like the liver, protective, heart, protective and joint modifying properties of this stuff. The liver is our greatest detoxifying organ, And we know that we're constantly bombarded by toxins in the environment. In fact, Blood. Studies show that newborn babies contained 200 industrial pollutants in their blood at the time of birth, So we need a functioning super healthy, very strong liver. We might not think about it delivers that much. But we need that. And we know that curcumin protects the liver Detoxified deliver. It keeps it strong. From a cardiac standpoint, it's highly beneficial for the heart. It's very good for maintaining healthy cholesterol and healthy platelet levels. And from a joint standpoint, we have innumerable studies showing overall improvement in joint health and relief and stable inflammatory activity. Better joint mobility as a result of taking curcumin. I like the brain protective studies as well, You know, I think everybody wants a sharper, clearer mind and curcumin delivers all this. So I regarded as one of the single most important things that you can put in your body and I'm very well aware pat that most people are not going to eat enough raw tumeric route. Get the benefits that they should and that they can get from a concentrated curcumin extract..

Risky Business
Vaughan Shanks Pitches the Cydarm Soc Incident Management Platform
"So it is a case management platform it's a web APP. It's typically deployed into a security operation center and it just helps you keep track of all of the activities that people working on. So this is like highs management software essentially for specifically for talk is that right? Exactly, it's case management for security operations. Okay. What sort of things do you use the software to do like about doing real deep deep dives on incidents because a lot of the time when we think of like response software, we think forensic. So whatever this isn't really that isn't no this is. An ailing people to collaborate better and a K pot of that. We noticed that often the way the white people do security operations using generic ticketing systems, and there are pine to us. They require extensive customization to do anything close to. What we would be regarded as best practice and You know the the data entry is often a complaint pine I'm so we've aimed to make an experience that's really easy to use and is already set up to security operations. I can sorry this is really designed to replace like Jira in the sock. Yes. We we do often generic atheist platforms and yet this is a big step up from that. Okay. In what sense right? So if I upgrade from a generic ticketing platform and I get myself side on what is getting me that those platforms I'm can't give me so. We have a built in workflow that is based off the computer security incident handling God from this. In fact, we steal all of our best moves from the computer security instant handling God. It's the best advice. We could find a way not to tell people how to do their job we just by us, but best practice as out as out benchmark Yep. So you steal the workflows and create some yeah krantz. Can Software? I haven't spoken to anyone about this but I think you know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and I think would probably be glad to know that someone out there is hitting their advice. Yeah. Well, I mean I think they put out this advice so that people like you will do things like this. Can you give us an example of like A typical sort of incident that's commonly handled through this platform and what the collaboration component looks like. Right? Because I'm thinking what sort of collaboration do you really need outside the Salk? Why? Why do you need a you know an actual platform to handle that So what we've is that many of our customers not only have internal tailfin if it's small internal team, I'm thinking they might have managed service provider that that gives them out of our support and depending on the nitrogen incident if something escalates and and there's people involved and there's conjecture about insider threats or other sensitive data coming out of the system, you don't necessarily want all of that data to be available to everyone who's who's collaborating, but you still need to have a tight look you need to be able to collaborate without much hassle so. We've we've used I access control to enable collaboration. Okay. So this is this allows for the discussion of sensitive incidence because quite often. In the case of a major incident, people will spin up their own slack. That's sort of the way that the. Slack specific to that incident but this is more for the work. Day. Incidence. The incidents of all shapes and sizes and can I say I very careful using slack for incident response it does still local copies of your information on every device that is logging into that channel. So that is why to make sure your sensitive response dieters scattered around many many. It's a good way to make sure your sensitive daughter is in as many places as humanly. Possible. Exactly, and certainly, those baynes among some instances of wears slack has slack as a useful vector for an attacker if you WANNA move laterally. Maybe. Having a rummage through someone's slack files is probably a good way to start getting ideas about. Passwords or other things you could connect to yeah. Yeah. Yes I think slack for incident response is you know it's a default it's a default option people use because it's it's easy and it's got a nice user experience. So the question we ask you what if you could take over the rig of a case management platform which sounds very serious. But make it as easy to use as something like slack. Do you actually have a chat function in the in the platform? Not really a chat function. It looks a little more like like using a conversation in twitter old Lincoln it's more like a threat in that sense. Yeah. That makes a Lotta sense right? So it's Malaysia DMZ but everything would be cataloged logged and it's it's it's sort of like sounds a little bit more serious than slack but a little less serious than. Help me out. Then what? Out To. Throw too many vandals under the bus. But there there is some some shockers out there just just stuff like. Why are you recording notes in notepad? All will case management system is is kind of awful. I only use it once a day from force to.
Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
Italys parliamentary shake-up
"The reduction of Italy's national parliament was a typical five-star and typical populist promise grand dramatic sweeping eye-catching rabble-rousing and. Totally. Pointless. Pressed for a rationale beyond pandering to the anti-establishment grouch ing voters five star claimed that axing impedes would save money even five star assessed that this might run to roughly a billion euros of the next decade, which in the context of the outgoings of the government of the world's eighth largest economy is a wretchedly poultry hillock of beans. Granted that Italy's parliament was by Global Standards Lodge among the world's democracies only the United Kingdom and Germany seat more impedes in their lower house but the UK has roughly the same number of people living in it as Italy and Germany more. Granted. Also that a quantity of Italian MP's will have been inept crooked, lazy silly insane and or drunk but the proportions are unlikely to have differed significantly from those of other elected assemblies and at any rate five stars initiative seems more focused on quantity than quality. Nevertheless, the idea was also backed by most of Italy's political parties who decided that being accessories to a massacre of themselves was politically more sensible than defending the status quo. When anti-establishment sentiment reaches a critical mass, it requires ran nerve to tell cranky voters that may be governing is more complicated than they might think. But possibly more interesting and perhaps even more encouraging results of local and municipal elections held in seven regions across Italy the same day as the referendum. These, conversely did not go brilliantly for Italy's recently triumphant populists league the right wing Tub Thumpers who at one point ran the country with five star in a coalition as unlikely as their eventual falling out was inevitable had made promises. If not assumptions of sweeping the board, they did not obey we lost. That's clear. I'm happy because I'm sure that many of the forty percent of people who voted for us to back that acceleration audition east. Regrettably the elections were not a total bust later, they held onto Veneta and lagoon area and will probably form a government invalid Diaz to. Even more regrettably the brothers of Italy a gruesome sack of ultra-nationalist won the regional presidency in McKay. But results elsewhere looked like a vote of confidence in at least current national government, the Democratic Party who replaced later as five styles. Coalition Partners surprised many by keeping Campania, Puglia and Tuscany. As these votes have been counted, everyone has claimed victory the labor force slightly expanding their reach the brothers of Italy, for eating into his share of flag flapping head banging sentiment the Democratic Party for resisting the populous surge five star for winning their referendum. But may be and two thousand and twenty s clearly in which all optimism demand asterix the real winner is the recently fashionable contention that governing is difficult and best done by people who know what they're doing as opposed to Yahoos and grand dieters who enjoy being on television. Italy's governments like everyone's have been brutally tested this year the relationship between general diligence and effectiveness in dealing with covid nineteen has been difficult to miss competent representatives of the people have demonstrated the value and in some places there scarcity. As, a consequence of five stars referendum, Italians will now have fewer representatives trying to answer to more people. It seems reasonably likely that this will prove a hollow victory but as more folk are hopefully realizing in Italy and elsewhere, that's the only victory that populists ever win.

Body-Image Healing and Body Grief with Brianna Campos
"Premiere. I'm your host, Christie Harrison and today I'm talking with Brianna campus a fat positive health at every size therapist and body image coach and a lovely human to kick off this eighth year of the podcast we talked about how to improve body image and fight internalized weight stigma, her concept of body grief how body image is connected to what's going on in the world around you and so much more. I can't wait to share a conversation with you in just a moment but first it's time for ask food psych our listener QNA segment. This week I have an amazing answer for you from a fabulous co host and friend of the pod Sofala trip. Shinsegi Sofala shared her story in episode one ninety one. So if you haven't heard that interview already, I highly recommend checking it out. She's a bad ass writer teacher and Social Justice Attorney with a book coming out next year and I just love her and before I plays of all his answer, I'll just give our standard disclaimer that these answers and this podcast in general are for informational and educational purposes only aren't to substitute for individual medical or mental health advice and don't constitute a provider patient relationship. This, question is from a listener named Amy who writes, Hi, I'm a forty two year old married mother of five kids when I was younger, I struggled with an eating disorder and while I have mostly recovered still struggle at times intuitive eating was literally life changing for me and has helped so much in my recovery. However, I'm confused about how to implement some of the strategies with a large family I know that for my own recovery A. Big Part of rejecting diet culture was making certain trigger food's always available. So those foods did not bring feelings of restriction and then subsequent disordered eating behavior. However, I'm noticing that within my own family when we do have special food such as those found during holidays or parties in the house, the entire family seems to have the scarcity mindset and consume those foods at a higher rate simply because they're thinking better, eat it now before it's gone. which is totally true with so many people in our household special foods do not last long at all I really want to help my children avoid disordered eating, but it is simply not practical nor within our budget to keep those more desirable food's always available our family is well fed and there's always plenty to eat in the house. But when special occasions arise, we have special foods I feel like the better eat it now before it's gone. Slash. Scarcity mindset starts to kick in what do you suggest? How can I help my family avoid scarcity mindset with special foods when just by virtue of budgetary limits and the number of people living in our house, those special foods are more scarce. Thank you. So would love to hear your thoughts on that questions of a while. I love this question I relate to it and the listener who wrote it so much I too am a mom. I only have one kid not five. So we're on different both in that way but. I too am a mom and have a background as the listener says the eating disorder in her case. I always say disordered eating in mine because I never had a diagnosis even though the whole concept of how these things diagnosed can be problematic since I never had one I just had a disordered eating background and a part of my recovery that was incredibly important like a listener our rights is. A making the quote unquote I'm forbidden foods available and trying to make them just a normal low key part of how food flows through my life. So that I. Don't set myself up for the kind of restriction. Cycle, and also because I, I really enjoy food and so part of you know my recovery was just wasn't is about making these foods that I love and sort of limited just available so that I can enjoy them rate just for the sake of the pleasure Sell released a question on so many levels and first and foremost. I think I approach it as a mom and as a former kid. Dieter. We don't know when this person started their eating disorder they're dieting but I started when I was very, very young and so as a mom as now a five-year-old's. One of my main goals really in life as a mom is to raise a child who trust her appetite. Could trust her behavior around food and who can eat without a lot of drama and a lot of sort of negative emotional stuff happening at the same time. So I think that's a goal that this mom shares I think that's kind of underlying the question is. How do I help my family? Have a relationship with food that is pleasurable and? Not marked by a ton of drama, you know given her back nick event is the reality of of their budget and. You Know How put food on the table.

Stop Dieting to Lose Weight
"Dieting to lose weight since the early nineteen fifties. We have just been inundated with this information information to eat. Low Fat Foods. Count calories eat low calorie and dieters are always told to kind of follow this approach and it's really lacking its first of all it's lacking in key nutrients and for a lot of people it can be like a starvation plan. So how did that workout not great because again more people are overweight and obese than ever before. So I'll introduce myself in. They my co-host. My name is Kara. Harper I'm a licensed nutritionist. I have a master's degree and holistic health and I'm also a certified nutrition specialist and really excited to be here today with my co host and weight loss. Expert Nell calls. Oh expert Bird now you who are the year the testimony to nutritional weight and wellness who lost ninety pounds eight years ago. You've been able to maintain that ninety pound weight loss us by eating real food. Yes and now as you know less than ten percent of people who lose weight keep the weight off. So you're the you're the Unicorn. Yeah we were just talking right UNICORNS. That's really what you've accomplished is amazing. And and you should be very very proud of yourself and maybe even you should be written up in a weight loss book I know you're a testimonial to our company. Absolutely maybe that's good enough now. I put my energy there so yeah I don't yeah. Thank you so much for that. That phenomenal intro Boost to my my ego this morning but I don't think being featured in a weight loss book is is necessary. I just want to you know for are you within the sound of my voice inspire you to give up dieting and eat real food several times a day to lose weight. That's a different message. Then you've probably heard this time of year no more starving yourself. It is a known fact that as we get older and I am getting older older our metabolism slows down more and more every year. I also know that eating protein several times a day boosts my metabolism for a few hours so I practice eating grass fed protein several times a day to keep that fire stoked to keep my metabolism fired up. Now I think our listeners would love to know what is and one of your biggest struggles maintaining the ninety pound weight loss. So I guess it's it's one thing and we'll get into a little bit later about the weight loss. Yeah but what is what is it like with the weight maintenance phase. Yeah we were just talking about this before or the show that the biggest struggle is not to get back into that. Dieting thought pattern which you would think after eight years of losing the weight and then keeping it off that I would have broken through that and I have but really that those. Those messages are very sticky for people because low calorie and and low fat eating slowdown. My metabolism and it's really challenging. I think this time of year to not see some of the ads coming out and you you know they're they're everywhere they're on facebook. They're on TV. That say you know we have the answer. Low Fat low calorie eating. But I want to tell you before I came to nutritional weight and wellness. I had many years of dieting and with each of those diets that are being advertised. Soul readily right. Now I did lose weight but I quickly gained that weight back and even more so I would get this quick hitting saying it was always twelve pounds for me so I would immediately start to feel better. Feel like my pants are getting better And it was within a few weeks or months that I would be heavier than before so I would get that quick hitting. Hey you know this is working and what was so cruel about what it is that it would come right back on as soon as I because what what they don't tell you is that you're losing water and you're losing muscle. Aw and be so frustrating when you have that you know first little bit of success and then it starts to stop and then and you start gaining and you start gaining more than before. So how did I gain that hundred ninety to one hundred pounds is because I would go on those diets and then I would gain you know twenty pounds More than before. So you do that. You know I say fifteen times and twenty seven my twenty five years of dieting. You know that extra twenty pounds ten twenty pounds at the end of each of those Yoyo. Diets is GONNA add up. Sure sure and and also we know just bio uh-huh chemically With all the training nutrition training that we've had that that really impairs metabolism kind of that the ups and downs the spikes and the losses awesome. Yeah right yes very very frustrating. Now how old were you when you first started dieting and then I mean you might have already answered this in your her in the last segment but did you lose any way like the very first time that you started dieting. Yeah and it was because I was twelve I could have done just about anything anything and and lost weight but that was the first year I went to weight watchers. I had to be I had to be Sponsored by somebody because I I was so young so my mom took me. I was desperate. I was coming into my eighth grade year and I was the Chubby kid so depressed and I did ED lose weight But I had a miserable summer and I actually just just recalled the story of being there used to be a kmart in Burnsville and we were my mom and I were walking into the Kmart and I had been you know really existing on Tuna with no Mayo just just plain tuna And Lettuce and really starving myself. I took it too far and I hated K.. Mart parking lot so talk about biochemical damage. I was really young long and I was. I was really taking that low calorie low fat message so dry tuna basically with dry lettuce And I was depriving myself. And then I that's where it began really so then you do that long enough and then you start to rebel. Your body starts to rebel and I gained all the way back. I started eating eating eating eating and really couldn't stop so for those reasons. I WANNA share with you. What I didn't know? Aw then which was the important biochemical fact that we teach in our nutrition for weight loss series which I am one of the teachers when you go on a low calorie salary low fat diet. It creates a stress response in your body. I mean think about that. I'm walking along and I drop over twelve thirteen the sad sad story and probably quite common still to this day. I would hope it wouldn't be but it's it's probably very common instill but really my body was telling me I don't have enough here to go on. Because of that stress response. The adrenal glands were releasing the hormone cortisol and that excess cortisol creates more insulin resistant. So that's what started all that insulin resistance in my body which which then you know initially lead to weight loss but then started showing up as belly. Fat so personally I don't want to create create that Cortisol response so now. I eat every two to three hours. And I'm not eating dry tuna on driverless. I know what I skip a meal or snack I gain weight because that court is all that when my blood sugars getting too low that cortisol response is going to help me to gain weight. Wait which is especially around the mid section eight that belly fat. Yeah and you would I think a lot of our longtime listeners have heard the term insulin salon resistance. Yeah we won't go into deep of a dive with that but insulin resistance just means that it's harder for your body to get the glucose into the cells out of the bloodstream and into the cells. So you're just more likely to gain weight to store fat. It's more difficult to lose weight. Yeah we have this great visual in one of the classes of your cells and there's locks padlocks all over the cells rights rate so if you think about it you're you're locking yourself cells. Those in nothing really gets in or out. That's you know making that happen. So essentially what was a lightbulb moment for me as when I was on these diets. It's my cells. Were locked up in that glucose that I was getting from my diet could not be used for energy. So he'll low energy. I felt you know fainting. Okay so he hit me of low energy right right

The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips for Eating Well and Feeling Fabulous
Aflatoxins in Nuts: Danger or Hype?
"Due to their relatively high fat content. But these aren't just empty calories along with those healthy unsaturated fats. You're also getting fiber and protein which help keep you from getting hungry. And that could be why dieters who include nuts in their meal. Plans lose more weight and report feeling less hungry, and in general people who eat nuts on a regular basis are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Despite those calories nuts are also rich in vitamin E, which is good for your skin heart and brain, they contain Fido stairwells natural plant compounds that help to regulate your cholesterol levels and regular consumption is linked with reduced risk of heart disease and other diseases. So far, the news is all good. But several of you have written to ask me about aspergillus or aflatoxin in nuts. And whether this is something that we need to worry about I can tell you that some of the. Scariest things you may have encountered on the internet are probably exaggerated or taken out of context. Nonetheless. These are not imaginary concerns first, let's take a minute to understand exactly what these compounds are. And we're we're likely to encounter them aspergillus is a type of fungus that's found in the soil, and it can cause disease in certain food crops, especially leg. You gms. Grains and tree nuts. An aspergillus infection can weaken the plants enough that it reduces crop yield. And that's obviously a concern for the farmers. But even when crop yields are affected, only minimally the aspergillus fungus continues to be a problem after the crops are harvested, it can cause grains or nuts to rot in storage leading to more losses for farmers or distributors. But the main concern in terms of human health is that aspergillus produces potentially harmful compounds called micro-toxins in particular were concerned about a group of micro-toxins called aflatoxin. Zain's? These are known to be carcinogenic chronic aflatoxin exposure can lead to liver damage or liver cancer, especially in individuals with pre existing conditions such as hepatitis b infection breathing in the spores of the aspergillus fungus can also cause lung irritation or damage again, especially in individuals with pre existing lung disease such as to Berkeley losses or COPD. And that's why most developed nations have very stringent monitoring for aspergillus and aflatoxin in foods products that are most likely to be infected such as peanuts or tree nuts are routinely screened, and if those aspergillus are aflatoxin levels are above a certain very low threshold the foods cannot be distributed. Now, this is obviously motivated growers to develop growing and handling practices that reduce the presence of aspergillus aflatoxin in their food and their feed. Crops, and these efforts have been very successful. According to the World, Health Organization, control strategies have mostly eliminated harmful exposures in developed countries. Unfortunately, those living in developing nations may still be exposed to harmful levels of contamination. Especially those in tropical regions where these crops may also serve as dietary staple the WHO says that food insufficiency and a lack of diversity substantially contributes to the susceptibility of individuals and communities to apple toxins, knowing you consider that hepatitis B and Turkey losses are also much more common in developing countries. You can see that apple toxins present a real public health concern in these developing nations, the World Health Organization in the centers for disease control are working hard on a number of initiatives to combat the problem everything. From public information campaigns to developing aspergillus. Resistant strains of these crops to enhanced screening protocols, but the problem is not yet solved before I share some tips on how to protect yourself against this threat word from this week's

Just say no to yo-yo dieting
"Right? The pressure to be so the six million people. No one had diabetes. No one had high blood pressure. No, one had elevated cholesterol, and no one had suffered a heart attack, and they were assessed for five years for Wade blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol, and. Anyway. What they said is that people whose weight, and they're going up and down are one hundred and twenty seven percent more die. Okay. So what do they say about the your your diet or we take him five pounds? Like most people go up and down ten pounds every talking like did they I mean? Okay, now, everyone goes up and fashionable fast for one week can damage your heart. Wow. They say that's good for you. I know a lot of people who do that sixteen day fast for day, Greece. People who go like an obese as being anything on your BMI and your doctor said who like try and go to like eight hundred calories a day eight hundred twelve hundred. Experience heart fat, you know, that they have. Yes. Yes. And because if people lose weight like rapidly, the fat goes into your bloodstream this with this research is absorbed by your heart. Yes. Really? Yes. So anyway, healthcare providers, the senior other in this from the university of Korea said, you know, people is much as you look at someone's blood pressure, and their cluster all how is their body weight going up and down because that is a correlation.

Welcome to bring stuff from how stuff works. Hey, rain stuff. I'm more in vocal bomb, and you've likely heard of Palio diet, the trendy regimens name is short for paleolithic and supposedly mimics the nutrition of ancient humans who lived about ten thousand years ago, cave, people eight meats, seafoods nuts and a few fruits and vegetables. Oh, and one other food source that doesn't show up on today's protein focused food, blogs other people archaeologists in western Europe have evidence that the precursors to modern humans eight their neighbors during the paleo ethic era. Most experts though have debated whether cannibalism was essential for the survival of these hominids, or whether it was part of ritualistic ceremonies to be classified as nutritional cannibalism, the people that paleolithic clans eight needed to be well nutritious. So just how many calories are in thi- or an ear. Archaeologist James Cole of the university of Brighton in England decided to find out Bing of the diagrams of cattle and pigs that illustrate. Different cuts of meat Cole mapped out the human body, then determined caloric count within each segment showing how much energy they would transfer. If consumed the results were published in the journal scientific reports a thi-, for instance, contains a hefty thirteen thousand three hundred fifty calories while the spleen is a modest one hundred and thirty overall the average human body has anywhere from one hundred twenty five thousand to one hundred and forty four thousand consumable calories. Some parts may take longer to digest you'll rack up ten thousand two hundred eighty calories from humans going alone. While others are snack size like the kidneys and contain about three hundred and eighty calories. The brain spinal cord and nerves were thinking Stu would be the most appropriate cooking method. Here will provide you with two thousand seven hundred calories and the bones contain about twenty five thousand bone. Broth is so untrendy right now after all despite all this talk of ancient eating habits coal concluded that other humans were probably not a nutritive meal of choice compared to competing. Available food sources one single willy mammoth, for example, containing a whopping three point six million calories would have given an entire tribe food for about eight weeks a human on the other hand would have provided enough calories for tribe to subside for only half a day, leaving everyone to wonder what's for dinner after just a few hours. Cole concludes that because of the relatively meagre calorie counts of the human body people. Eight other people for social or cultural reasons not for their health. So modern paleo dieters can breathe a sigh of relief there. Recipe. Books should continue to skip this particular ingredient.

Then Evelyn came across the study using. Cannabis dial. Or CBD to successfully treat seizures in rats CD is an extract from the cannabis. Plant that doesn't make you high and I thought my son needs. Access to that I gotta get this she dug around and found a. British pharmaceutical company that was making highly, concentrated CBD for multiple sclerosis patients the company agreed to let Sam.

Under a doctor's supervision for two weeks after Wedneday his seizures were down to thirty after, two days they were down, to ten after three days he, had one seizure Sam is now seventeen the drugs still works and he doesn't have any side effects for the past six years the. FDA has allowed what's called a compassionate. Use for Sam along the way hundreds of other patients have. Tried the drug in. Clinical trials which eventually led to its recent FDA approval the brand name for the CBD drug is EPA dialects this is. What everyone asked about Dr Joe Sirven isn't Arale just at the mayo.

Really, really great results particularly with certain larger seizures the big convulsions now many patients are using CBD from marijuana dispensaries but, these aren't regulated and the dose inconsistency can vary.

In San Francisco so if you've ever been, on a diet but you didn't, lose the weight you had hoped to lose your gut bacteria might be part. Of the, problem NPR's Alison Aubrey reports on how the microbes in our guts may either help or. Hinder weight loss this is kind of an odd thing, to think about but the bacteria that live in our guts can actually do. Us a favor they eat. What we can't Martin Blaser is a professor at NYU. Langone medical, center he says consider what happens when we, eat an apple we digest, most of it but there's a certain part of the apple that. Can't be absorbed we don't have the right enzymes to digest every, bit of it but are bacteria can after the bacteria consume, what we can't, they Produce, byproducts that we can digest and that's another source of calories. For, us somewhere between five and fifteen percent of all our calories. Come from that kind of digestion where the microbes. Are providing energy for us that we we couldn't ordinarily get and times were bad if we were starving. We would really welcome that but these days, when many people want to lose, weight we may not want these extra calories the microbes give us researchers at. The mayo, clinic in Minnesota wanted to know if they could identify certain types of bacteria that might. Influence the success of dieting Purna cash up a gastroenterologist, helped to lead the study it included people who were enrolled in a one. Year lifestyle program they were. Counseled to follow a low calorie diet and agreed to. Be monitored, closely we started with the premise that people, have different microbial make-up's in, the in the gut and that good insurance how well they do. With dieting Richmond and it turns out when cash up and his, team compared the dieters who were successful with those who are. Not They, did find differences we found that people who lost, at least five percent of their body weight had different gut bacteria as compared to those who did not lose five percent of their body big for instance they found an abundance of bacteria, called dial Lister in the guts of people. Who did not lose, much weight and another type. Of bacteria was high in successful dieters cash up says, down the road if they can show. The same, results in a larger group of dieters they'd like to use this information to help people lose weight what do you hope to do is to be able to individualize care for people and we would also. Try to develop new robotics which we can use to change the. Microbial makeup but manipulating the mix of microbes in your gut is easier said than. Done according to NYU's Martin blazer it's complicated he says in part it depends how lucky will be whether the organisms that we think are beneficial we, can cultivate them well it said that they could become next years probiotic that remains on he says if it's possible It's still some years off.
