Summary:

Comedy superstar Ben Stiller (Zoolander, Tropic Thunder), who directs and stars in the upcoming The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, here narrates the classic James Thurber short story on which his film adaptation is based.

The mild-mannered Mitty escapes his extremely humdrum and ineffectual existence by leaping into a myriad of fantasies - imaginative daydreams that range from piloting a Navy plane to performing as a brilliant surgeon to coolly leaning against the wall of a firing squad, all while escorting his wife on their regular shopping trip to Danbury, Connecticut.

This well-known and beloved tale has launched its famous protagonist into the cultural lexicon, warranting his inclusion in English-language dictionaries and countless anthologies. Stiller's imaginative performance as Mitty is the perfect re-introduction to the classic character and is a great preface to the upcoming film, for old fans and new listeners alike.

Profoundly original, bestselling writer and physician Gabor Maté looks at the epidemic of addictions in our society, tells us why we are so prone to them and what is needed to liberate ourselves from their hold on our emotions and behaviours.

AUDIOFILE REVIEW: "[Gabor Maté's] nuanced understanding of pleasure seeking and pain avoidance inspires empathy for a wide range of addictions—from cocaine and alcohol to destructive patterns of shopping, eating, and sexual behavior. Along with his authentic-sounding dialogue Daniel Mate’s performance is notable for its emotional resonance with the author’s patients and their journeys. ... His engagement with the author’s writing makes this a moving invitation to the complex world of addictions." T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2011, Nov. 2011

In this episode of Body IO® FM, Dr. Jason Fung discusses how he helps his patients manage and reverse type 2 diabetes through diet. He also explains how the all too common prescription of insulin to treat type 2 diabetes is wrong and causes insulin resistance.

Dr. Fung completed medical school and internal medicine at the University of Toronto before finishing his nephrology fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai hospital. He joined Scarborough General Hospital in 2001 where he continues to practice.

BIOFM 48 - Dr. Jason Fung - Is Type 2 Diabetes Curable?

Dr. Jason Fung is a Consultant Nephrologist who trained and began his medical career at the University of Toronto before heading to the University of California in Los Angeles where he completed his fellowship in nephrology. Since then he has founded the Intensive Dietary Management Program, which provides a unique treatment for Type 2 Diabetes & Obesity. 

This BJSM podcast sees @Liam_West pose the questions and Dr. Fung take the listeners through the evidence behind the impact of diet on obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Jason explains that, whilst the #LCHF model of “Carbohydrates  Insulin  Obesity” is not wrong, it is incomplete. He reiterates that the main player in the development of obesity and T2DM is INSULIN – not merely high carbohydrates.

Jason believes that the calories in/calories out model that has previously been described is incorrect. He explains the evidence and builds upon the #LCHF model to include the importance of insulin resistance and meal timing. In T2DM, this resistance leads to Beta-cell dysfunction. Evidence exists that this process can be reversed and therefore T2DM should not be considered to be a chronic progressive disease – it is curable with bariatric surgery and caloric prescription. 

The take home message for the podcast from Jason is to eat #RealFood, #ConsiderInsulin and #EmpowerPatients to regain control over diabetes.

The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage

Amy Edmondson, professor at Harvard Business School, first identified the concept of psychological safety in work teams in 1999. Since then, she has observed how companies with a trusting workplace perform better. Psychological safety isn't about being nice, she says. It’s about giving candid feedback, openly admitting mistakes, and learning from each other. And she argues that kind of organizational culture is increasingly important in the modern economy. Edmondson is the author of the new book "The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth.”

Steven Mackintosh stars as Martin Beck, with Neil Pearson as Lennart Kollberg, in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of The Man Who Went Up in Smoke. The Martin Beck books are widely acknowledged as some of the most influential detective novels ever written. Written by Swedish husband and wife team Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, the series set a gold standard for all subsequent Scandanavian crime fiction. Before Kurt Wallander or Harry Hole, Beck was the original flawed policeman, working alongside his colleagues to uncover the cruelty and injustice lurking beneath the surface of Sweden's seemingly liberal, democratic society. In The Man Who Went Up in Smoke, adapted from the second book, a journalist has vanished in Budapest. When Beck arrives in the city to investigate, he is drawn into the Eastern European underworld. Before long his team back in Sweden begin to make some connections... Translated by Joan Tate and dramatised by Katie Hims.
