Do you use a sauna? A specific type of favourite sauna or temperature or frequency? Never tried it but sauna curious?

Dr Joy Hussain was a practising physician for many years before realising there was something very special about the sauna. She had Reynaud’s syndrome, which affects circulation, and noticed that using a sauna while living in Alaska improved her Reynaud’s. Moving to a warm climate next, she assumed that this would be the solution to Reynaud’s but a funny thing happened: It intensified. She reintroduced sauna, and just like that, it was better. This personal experience led her to doing a PhD studying them and here we are years later to discuss:

• Different sauna types and how the effects vary
• What we know about resilience, immune systems and detoxification when it comes to sauna
• The difference in women’s age stage and cycle timing
• Temperature relevance in sauna therapy, depending on climate ‘norm’
• Health conditions improved with sauna in the research so far
• You can be part of sauna research: Answer this quick sauna survey to support Joy’s work

Over the past 2 decades, Gardiner Harris has been covering and collecting data on Johnson&Johnson. Now, as an independent and award-winning investigative journalist, he releases the fruits of 2 decades of research, interviews, analysis and findings in No More Tears: The dark secrets of Johnson & Johnson exposed.

In this show we explore:

• The collapse of a strong public health framework
• The infiltration of industry into public service
• The specific ways in which Johnson&Johnson has caused millions harm over decades across a number of their products.
• The opioid crisis, hip replacements, vaginal mesh, anemia drug EPO in cancer patients and antipsycholotics in aged care and more…
• The way J&J can stay afloat despite all of the damages and legal fees
• What hope we have of restoring faith in health care?
• What you and I can do to ensure at the grass roots we are building a better system.

It’s a doozy, I’m not going to lie, but it’s important work and Gardiner has done some extraordinary work to bring this story to light.

One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they’re radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.

Enter Dr Nancy O’Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental and incidence-based reasons something sudden like this can happen to a child and most importantly, how we can do 2 things. Firstly, mitigate risk by being more literate in causal factors and knowing how to proactively support children’s health and resilience. Secondly, know how to spot the changes in kids - some subtle and some severe, so that you can start treating and healing the child soon and avoid being bounced around to a few doctors and practitioners before they get the support and treatment they need.

We cover:

• What PANS/PANDAS can present as
• Where it comes from biologically and environmentally
• Macro foods that are important for this group and why
• How can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happens
• and more

So. Much. Good. Supportive information in this show. Enjoy + share with as many parents and carers that you can - if we all know more we can all do more! Alexx x
