So You Want to Set Boundaries? ft. Kenny Sebastian

This week on Call Me Hopeful, comedian Kenny Sebastian talks to us about therapy, people-pleasing and what he did to get better at setting his boundaries. Because what he was trying to avoid by saying yes, happened anyway. Now on level 27 of setting boundaries, Kenny reflects on the dynamic nature of the boundaries, the balance he has had to strike within our cultural setting and the contentment he’s achieved by embarking on this journey.

Colonialism and The Gut

The gut microbiome – or the amalgamation of bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses that reside in the digestive tract of living beings – is receiving a lot of attention from the scientific community. Many researchers say it holds important clues to human health, decoding which has led to its own slew of interventions, including pharmaceutical pills and fecal transplants. But the gut microbiome has undergone its own evolution, whose history is congruent with the enforced lifestyle and cultural changes brought about by colonization and migration. Today, we are in conversation with Dr. Fergus Shanahan, professor and chairman of the Department of Medicine at University College Cork (UCC), National University of Ireland, to understand the connections between the gut microbiome and the history of colonization. Dr. Shanahan is also the founder and director of the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Center (APC) in Cork, Ireland, which is among the largest gut microbiome research centers in the world. We are also speaking with Dr. Rupa Marya – a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and founder of the Do No Harm Coalition, which is committed to addressing disease through structural change – to unpack how gut microbiota relates to radical acts of decolonisation, and what that means for the future of health and disease. In ‘The Missing Link,’ The Swaddle’s science podcast, we take a look at humanity’s most urgent questions – and the answers that might be lurking in unexpected science.

Is Being 'Woke' Really Broke Now?
