Through all of this time, and all of the little steps we are making towards my goals, we have recognized a “change process” that I unconsciously follow. Scott notices a “problem” in his lifestyle or habits that he knows logically he “should” want to change. As Scott considers what it would entail to actually make these changes in his life, he gets overwhelmed or intimidated by the idea of making such drastic changes.

Well it looks like it may cost much more in the future, have a look at this animation. It starts with the cost by state for 2010 and then shows the estimated costs of diabetes (mostly type 2) treatment by state for 2015 and 2025. The redder states have higher incidences of diabetes and higher costs. Watch it through a few times to see how dramatically the US changes.The data comes from The Institute for Alternative Futures. Their work was commissioned by Novo-Nordisk, a diabetes drug company. Even if you reduce the estimated amounts, the figures are really huge about $295 billion for just the top ten states. The total estimated costs for the country? $514 billion in medical and non-medical costs. The US Census (PDF) estimates the tot...

Sullivan, MD, shared their insights as well. Today, Ginger Vieira, a patient living with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, says: “You, as the patient, are the most important part of the medical team because you are the one who makes the daily decisions, who balances your disease around dinners, soccer games, long hours at work without enough time to check your blood sugar and eat lunch. You are the one who takes the knowledge you learn from your doctor and fits it into your everyday life. That’s a huge role, and it’s never easy.” Ginger Vieira shares her story about the challenges and how her positive attitude is al...

I mean those diabetics just have to inject and watch what they eat (no sugar allowed) and they're all set.But as my friend Ginger explains so well, an awful lot goes into living with diabetes. The Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) is committed to developing a cure for type 1 diabetes, and now they're offering a great way for you to get involved in their work.

It piqued my interest because a friend of mine once asked me if she should be concerned about her son’s eating habits. He counted calories, stayed away from sweets, and was a tad obsessive about a healthy diet. I told her not to sweat it, buying into the cultural myth that boys don’t get eating disorders. Now I know they do. To get to Ginger’s original article on ShareWIK, click here. I have reprinted it with permission below. Usually when we talk about body image issues, we’re talking about girls. But did you know that more than one million boys and men struggle with eating disorders? More than 80 percent of 10-year-olds are afraid of being fat. More than 10 percent of middle school boys h...

This episode was recorded live at Dragon*Con 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. We focused our conversation on the fact scientific reasoning and critical thinking do NOT come naturally. Instead, we all tend to make similar errors, such as mistaking correlation for causation. Dr. Lilienfeld shared his experiences and a extensive question and answer session with the live audience allowed him to explore additional examples.

On Wednesday morning I listened in to Kerri & Amy do a great presentation called "Finding Your Online Voice".  I loved it.  I thought Kerri & Amy were perfect hosts and leaders, and that the information was well received.  There were lots of questions, ranging from "how do I do it?" to "what about privacy concerns?" I hope that a few people found the inspiration to start sharing their stories.  After the session, I jumped on Kerri's coattails to go meet Charlie ...

She also holds 14 national, drug-tested powerlifting records AND the Vermont state record for the female bench press!  Holy Crap, right?  I say that Ginger is an angel because her mission in life is to help others.  And she is good at it (that qualifies for "understatement of the year").  I m...

I miss exercise, in a totally theoretical sort of way. I don't miss it enough to get out and get moving again, even though I know I need to. I also know that I will feel a million times better once I do. But I keep finding excuses to not take that first step. It's all bullshit too. Total and complete crap.

Have you ever felt certain that you knew an answer even though you couldn’t think of it right off? Where does that “feeling of knowing” come from? The answer to this question is the focus of neurologist Robert Burton’s new book On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not. I recently reviewed Dr. Burton’s book on the Brain Science Podcast and last week I had the opportunity to interview him for the show. He explained that one of the origins for his book was his experience with patients with conditions like Cotard’s syndrome (where the patient thinks he is dead or does not exist). What Dr. Burton calls the “feeling of knowing” is so strong that people consistently trust it even when their beliefs contradict...

We talked about the importance of exercise and sleep and we discussed why appreciating how our memory and attention systems really work could change how we run schools, businesses, and even our daily lives.

The emphasis in our discussion was on the importance of exercise in stimulating the release of BDNF. If you are interested in checking out some further references on BDNF you may want to check out Charles Daney’s Science and Reason Blog. Daney also does a good job of explaining exactly what a neurotropic factor is and does.

The Brain Science Podcast is currently part of an ad campaign on Wizzard Media (Libsyn). They failed to tell us that the technology they use to insert ads will not work with enhanced files, so they just converted it back to a stripped down mp3.
