Medial prefrontal cortex and logotherapy
I was listening to the episode on Gratitude, where there is a statement that the medial prefrontal cortex is the part of our brain that set the context and I connected in to logotherapy by Viktor Frankl. I understand that the topic is complex, but it seems that certain types of therapy "teach" you just that - how to set the context so that the experience is less painful. So one could say that you are training your medial prefrontal cortex in how to set the context?
Anorexia or/and other eating disorders and brain activity
How does having an eating disorder affect our brain functionality? Does it change your neuro circuits, can you actually rewire yourself into not liking certain food? How come that a person suffering from an eating disorder can't stop even though when their life is literally in danger? What changes neurologically and why?
The saturated fat debate
Please tease out fact from fiction in the saturated fat/LDL debate. Some sources say your LDL should be 50-70 mg/dL and that saturated fat is causes increased LDL which in turn causes atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Other sources suggest that saturated fat is not the concern it was once thought to be, and that LDL levels in the hundreds are ok because it doesn’t cause atherosclerosis anyway. Help!
Fixing low HDL / high LDL: Behaviours, exercises, sleep patterns and supplementation.
I am genetically predisposed to having low HDL and high LDL, with a family history of heart disease. What would you recommend from a sleep, exercise, diet and supplementation perspective? I already consume. 2g of fish oil a day and matcha green tea.
