Dementia - Essence of Medicine

The notebooklm AI podcast examines statistical learning in the brain and its impact on the formation of cultural and individual differences.

Additionally, it analyzes cultural differences in visual perception, language use, and conceptions of time and space. In particular, the significance of microcultures for individual differences and their influence on cognitive abilities compared to macrocultures is emphasized.

The Truth About Fear: Why It’s Controlling You & How to Reclaim Your Power

Yoga and trauma are deeply connected through the mind-body relationship. Trauma often leaves a lasting impact not just on the mind but also on the body, manifesting as tension, dysregulation, or disconnection. Yoga, particularly trauma-informed yoga, offers a pathway to healing by addressing these effects holistically.

Trauma-informed yoga focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can reconnect with their bodies. It emphasizes gentle movements, mindfulness, and breathing exercises to help regulate the nervous system, reduce hyperarousal, and foster a sense of safety and control. This approach is especially beneficial for trauma survivors, as it allows them to regain autonomy over their bodies and emotion.  Tune in for more.

Exploring the Connection Between Trauma and Yoga

We’ve all had patients struggling with chronic conditions like long COVID, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and chronic fatigue. Despite all the tools in our functional medicine toolkit, there’s still something missing. How can we truly help them? I’m excited to have Ashok Gupta back on the New Frontiers podcast to offer a new take on healing from chronic illness. He explains that many chronic diseases stem from a malfunction in the brain's threat detection system, where the body overreacts to perceived threats, triggering immune, nervous system, or mood responses, creating a vicious cycle. Ashok shares how retraining the brain and calming the nervous system can reset the body’s response to chronic stress and presents the growing body of research supporting the Gupta Program, including new subjective measurements like CRP showing its impact. What excites me most is the potential for this approach to help some of my toughest-to-treat patients. With more studies emerging, I’m increasingly hopeful this could be a game-changer. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss! ~DrKF

Julia Williamson & Maddy Monacelli: Sing to Thrive!

Christopher Murphy answers the question by a student "Can you speak about delusions and how to prevent the mind from morphing reality into something negative?" 

The mind is a shape-shifter, constantly forming identities, narratives, and perceptions. Spiritual practice often helps it take on more positive forms. Ultimately, all forms are delusions. True liberation means going beyond all shapes, identities, and desires into a formless, desireless awareness.
