Please provide a full episode on EMFs
Some scientists have done research that suggests the EMF exposure we get from our phones, wifi and bluetooth are harmful to our health down to the cellular level, leading to cancer risk, damage to the pineal gland, etc. The telecom industry has worked hard to discredit this research. I absolutely love my Apple Watch and phone and am exposed to wifi in my house all day long. The router unfortunately is in a closet next to my bedroom. My friends who follow the science believe my Apple Watch is harmful, even in airplane mode with wifi and bluetooth turned off. What is your view on EMF risk? If it is risky, should we invest in EMF blockers or EMF diffusers? How do we find reputable companies for blockers and diffusers?
This is about your information on how music affects the brain.
I am with a global non profit, and 1 of the things we have done is research sounds and how it affects the brain. The partner that creates the music, the musician, has even created heavy metal tracks.....for SLEEP. They work quite well. Thanks! How can we offer information to add to your research perhaps?
Physical health tests
I'm a 37 y.o. man, fit and relatively healthy with history of ankylosing spondylitis in recession. I'd like to ask for an advice for a set of blood tests that I can just do at the local diagnostic lab (hemo testing lab or something similar). By the way I leave in areas of the world where there's no sun during winter periods. I want to do a complete body screening. There's suggestion from AI to do the following tests. Would you add/change anything or maybe steer attention to a certain markers? Blood Tests Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates overall health and detects a variety of disorders, including anemia, infection, and many other diseases. Lipid Profile: Assesses the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by measuring cholesterol levels, including LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Blood Glucose Tests: Measures blood sugar levels to check for diabetes or pre-diabetes. Liver Function Tests: Assesses the health of the liver by measuring enzymes, proteins, and substances produced or cleared by the liver. Renal (Kidney) Function Panel: Evaluates kidney function through various parameters like creatinine, BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen), and electrolyte levels. Thyroid Function Tests: Includes TSH, T3, and T4 tests to assess thyroid gland function. Electrolyte Panel: Measures electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate; important for assessing heart and kidney health. Vitamin and Mineral Levels: Including Vitamin D, B12, iron, calcium, and others as relevant. Inflammatory Markers: Such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), which can indicate inflammation in the body. Hormone Tests: Depending on symptoms, tests like estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, etc., can be considered. Coagulation Panel: Tests like PT, INR, and aPTT, which assess blood clotting. Urine Tests Urinalysis: A common test that checks the appearance, concentration, and content of urine. It's used to detect a range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes. Microalbuminuria and Creatinine: These tests check for small amounts of protein in urine, an early sign of kidney damage.
laughter and dopamine
I am curious to know if addiction can stop/reduce our ability to laugh. Is this related to dopamine in some way? If so, what is the neuroscience behind that phenomenon? I recently gave something up and (funnily enough) found myself re-engaged with laughter (which I didn’t even know I had lost until it came back again). Thanks!
