    EP 1,185B - FOOTPRINTS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA: The Evolutionary Roots of Mental Illness

    EP 1,185B - FOOTPRINTS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA: The Evolutionary Roots of Mental Illness

    What causes schizophrenia? Is it a genetic glitch or are environmental factors at play? A combination of the two? Whatever the reason, what medication and course of action will give the patient the best chance at a normal life?

     Of all the mental illnesses, schizophrenia eludes us the most. Despite the strides scientists have made in neurological research and doctors have made in psychiatric treatment, schizophrenia remains misunderstood, almost complacently mythologized. Without a reason for the illness, patients feel even more alienated than they already do, families are left hopeless, and doctors struggle to provide effective care.

    After an almost forty-year medical career dedicated to caring for those affected by schizophrenia, Dr. Steven Lesk became determined to find the answer to its existence. In Footprints of Schizophrenia, he presents a groundbreaking theory that weaves evolutionary evidence with neurological findings. His conclusions promise to forever change the lives of the mentally ill by generating much-needed cultural dialogue about this stigmatized illness, and ultimately by provoking new psychiatric and pharmacological research.

    Dr. Lesk’s “primitive organization theory” has its basis in human evolution—from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens—and the specific changes to our brains after the emergence of language. We’ve existed in human-like form for six million years, but we’ve only had language for 50,000; as Dr. Lesk explains, within the vast span of evolutionary time that’s hardly any time at all. He posits that the twenty million people in the world who have schizophrenia don’t suppress the hormone dopamine, which is affected by language, in the way evolution has trained us, so their brains don’t process language well, leaving them to function as if they’re in a hallucinatory, delusional dream state.

    In addition to focusing treatment efforts for schizophrenia, Dr. Lesk’s theory could affect what we can do to help people with other dopamine-related illnesses like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s chorea, Tourette’s, ADD, and more. Calling on such diverse fields as anthropology, language theory, neurochemistry, evolution, and even the second law of thermodynamics, Footprints of Schizophrenia offers hope to those with schizophrenia whose dopamine doesn’t flow in our new, adaptive way. It will usher in a new era of psychiatric understanding—one that the field and the public desperately need.

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

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

    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:


    Assess Ovarian Cancer Risk:

    Understand personal ovarian cancer risk, considering factors like family history.




    Seek Informed Decisions:

    Request blood tests that provide valuable information for decision-making.




     Consult Healthcare Providers:

    Engage in meaningful discussions with doctors, weighing the risks and benefits of surgical approaches and exploring options to preserve ovaries.



     

    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

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

     

    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.
