EP 1,184B - Menopause- OVARIAN CANCER & PELVIC MASS’

3/12/2024
Did you know that each year, up to 1.5 million women are diagnosed with pelvic (adnexal) masses? While most of these masses are noncancerous, a pelvic mass diagnosis can lead to a significant decision: the potential removal of one or both ovaries, known as oophorectomy, which may result in surgical menopause. A pelvic mass is a growth or enlargement originating in or around the uterus, which can involve the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and neighboring tissues (adnexal masses). Ovarian cancer, though relatively rare, impacts about 20,000 women annually in the United States. Early identification is crucial for positive outcomes. The decision to proceed with surgery is not one to be taken lightly, as 6 out of 7 women who undergo ovarian removal due to pelvic masses do not have cancer. Surgical menopause, particularly before natural menopause, can lead to immediate and long-term health implications, affecting bone health, neurological conditions, mental health, and heart health. To empower women facing these challenges, here are three proactive steps they can take: What Women Need To Know About Ovarian Cancer - According to The American Cancer Society, Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women and is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. It accounts for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent killer" because symptoms may be subtle, but they can include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination. Estimates for ovarian cancer in the United States for 2023: about 19,710 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer and about 13,270 women will die from ovarian cancer.

EP 1,183B - HOW NOT TO AGE: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as you Get Older

3/5/2024
When Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org, dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research, he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging. We don’t need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young—we already have the tools. In How Not to Age, the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life. Physicians have long treated aging as a malady, but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies’ cells and we can disrupt each of them. Processes like autophagy, the upcycling of unusable junk, can be boosted with spermidine, a compound found in tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Senescent “zombie” cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions, apples, and kale. And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank. Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2,000 times cheaper? Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of centenarians and residents of “blue zone” regions where people live the longest, Dr. Greger presents simple, accessible, and evidence-based methods to preserve the body functions that keep you feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Brimming with expertise and actionable takeaways, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for achieving ultimate longevity.

EP 1,182B - Stress & Money

2/27/2024
"You may have spent years saving for retirement—but have you thought of the best way to use the money you saved? How you withdraw from your IRA, 401(k), and other accounts can have a major impact on how much you will pay in federal income taxes during retirement. After searching in vain for helpful information on retirement withdrawal strategies, I decided to create a retirement tax simulator I call the Retirement Tax Saver tool. The tool shows that how and when money is withdrawn from retirement accounts can have an enormous impact on taxes. I thought the information was important enough to share that I interrupted my attempt at early semi-retirement to write the book, From Savvy Saver to Smart Spender: How to Pick a Tax-Wise Retirement Withdrawal Strategy."

The remarkable success of his Blue Zone Project, the largest preventative health program in America, in more than 70 cities, from Fort Worth, Texas, to Naples, Florida, as well as the entire states of Iowa and Hawaii. Stunning results include double-digit drops in obesity, smoking, and BMI; significant reductions in employee absenteeism; and millions of dollars of savings in healthcare costs. His priority on making it easier for everyone to develop and sustain habits proven to increase longevity by changing their surroundings. He can share simple tips for redesigning any home, room by room, to naturally encourage longevity-enhancing practices from plant-based eating to regular exercise to taking time to downshiftThe toll of the typical American diet and sedentary lifestyle not only across the USA—where rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and dementia continue to rise as we spend billions on vitamins, protein supplements, and prescription drugs—but also in the Blue Zones, due to the forces of globalization and technology.

EP 1,175B - Fat Cells: Professor Discher’s research on how Revels Fat Droplets can threaten DNA

1/2/2024
Fat cells, a necessary part of the body, are a growing area of research for scientists as a concerning rise in metabolic illnesses has shifted the field’s focus to the biology and chemistry of fat. University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science professor, Dennis Discher, is one scientist looking into how fat cells work. Dennis’s research led to a groundbreaking study that proves fat cells are more than just a number on the scale – his team found fat-filled lipid droplets hold a surprising capability to indent and puncture a cell’s nucleus, where DNA is held. The finding is alarming considering a ruptured nucleus can lead to elevated DNA damage, a characteristic of many diseases, including cancer. - The solutions and drug treatments that may prevent nuclear damage by fat droplets - How this research has aided in understanding aging and related conditions where the cell cycle is suppressed - How the research will continue through the study of immune cell functions, including possible anti-cancer functions.
