Obesity Study: Larger Meal Portions Infers Status -- Health Podcast</h1> <article> <h1>Obesity Study: Larger Meal Portions Infers Status -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 22:57:38 +0000</p> <p>Obesity statistics in the US convey a sad story: more than two-thirds of all adults over the age of 20 now qualify as overweight or obese. Yet, in spite of the endless array of available diet programs, products, and the constant media coverage highlighting the dangers of being overweight, we keep getting fatter and fatter, with obesity rates still on the climb. While many blame a willpower deficit for the failure of 95 percent of all diet attempts, a series of new studies has shed some light on a few other possible reasons that all the diet knowledge in the universe doesn't seem to be making a dent.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/weight-loss/podcast-meal-portion-size-status" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Start The New Year Off With A Full Body Detox -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:14:40 +0000</p> <p>For years Jon Barron and his wife Kristen have started the new year off with a full body detox to maintain good health and prevention of disease!

That's because IQs can change over the years, according to new research. So instead of an IQ score being a benchmark of fixed intelligence that can be used as a predictor of success, it is really just a measurement of one "type" of intelligence at a randomly chosen point in time.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/podcast-memory-skills-IQ" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Tue, 06 Dec 2011 19:35:31 +0000</p> <p>Shelley Adler, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, trained in medical anthropology research, has written a book called <em>Sleep Paralysis: Nightmares, Nocebos, and the Mind-Body Connection</em>.<sup>1</sup> She makes a strong case for the incredible power of our mind and beliefs…and how they can even lead to death.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/sleep-paralysis-death-SUNDS" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>New Weight Loss Study -- Natural Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:49:09 +0000</p> <p>A recent obesity study out of Australia has concluded that when people lose weight, their metabolism automatically slows down and they experience hormonal changes that increase appetite. The researchers theorized that these changes, not portion size, the types of food eaten, or lack of exercise, etc., explain why most dieters so quickly gain back what they lost. Or to put it in simpler terms; being overweight is not your fault. It's biology.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/weight-loss/podcast-dieting-metabolism-obesity" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Junk Food Diets & Male Infertility -- Men's Health Podcast</h1> <p>Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:16:56 +0000</p> <p>A recent study out of the Harvard School of Public Health, found that when men eat fatty, unhealthy food, their sperm lose the ability to move vigorously enough to make the journey all the way up the ovarian tube. A related study found that eating trans fats reduces sperm count. Added together, these facts seem to indicate that a junk food diet may lead men to male infertility.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/podcast-junk-food-male-infertility" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Graphic Warning Labels On Cigarette Packages -- Natural Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:27:31 +0000</p> <p>Pending legislation would force tobacco companies to attach very graphic warning labels, including disturbing images, to cigarette packages.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/podcast-graphic-warning-labels-cigarettes" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>New Taxes Placed On Junk Food? -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Tue, 20 Sep 2011 17:06:19 +0000</p> <p>By applying a tax to items like sugary drinks, greasy French fries, and foods such as cookies and doughnuts that have no nutritional value at all, the government would be making those foods more expensive and hopefully less appealing.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/podcast-taxing-junk-food" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Is Annual Mammography For Breast Cancer Screening Effective? -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:09:45 +0000</p> <p>It is the expected norm within the medical community that women -- especially those over 40 or with a family history of breast cancer -- should get their annual mammography without fail. But how effective of a tool is it in actually saving lives? According to a recent study by an international team of researchers at various European institutions, the answer is that it's not especially effective. Breast cancer screening was not shown to have a major impact on the reduction of breast cancer mortality in the recent past. While the mortality rates from breast cancer have certainly gone down in most developed countries in the last two decades, it would seem that the lower numbers might not be attributable to mammography.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/alternative-cancer/podcast-annual-breast-cancer-screening" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Could Exercise Prevent Alzheimer's? Listen To Jon Barron's Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 22 Aug 2011 19:35:55 +0000</p> <p>A new study recently released by the University of California in San Francisco, suggests that the single biggest risk factor leading to Alzheimer's in the US is lack of exercise. Twenty-one percent of all instances of the disease, or 1.1 million cases, could be prevented if more people exercised regularly, according to the researchers. Depression causes another 15 percent, says the study, smoking 11 percent, hypertension eight percent, obesity in midlife and low education each trigger seven percent, and diabetes correlates to three percent.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/anti-aging/podcast-exercise-reduce-alzheimers-prevention" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>How to Improve Intelligence & Prevent Cognitive Decline -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 08 Aug 2011 18:00:03 +0000</p> <p>Many scientists have long believed that a person's IQ is determined by their genes and therefore not subject to change.

Like phthlates, DEHA acts as an endocrine disruptor in the body. Studies have linked it directly to liver tumors in mice, as well as to asthma in children and to a wide range of cancers.

New research is suggesting that, in fact, we may all have a limited supply -- different for each person, of course. When you exert a lot of self-control in one situation, you may have less available for later. Therefore, at least according to the research, it might make sense to choose the times you use your self-control wisely, so you're not depleted at the wrong time.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/natural-health/podcast-self-control-study" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Is Your Brain Asleep? Find out in this Natural Health Podcast</h1> <p>Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:49:18 +0000</p> <p jquery1308073037614="1530"> A recent study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has shown that groups of neurons in the brain may actually go to sleep while the rest of the body is wide awake. It calls into question our whole concept of falling asleep, which is based on the idea that one minute you're awake, and the next you're sound asleep totally and completely. This finding instead suggests that sleep comes when groupings of neurons in the brain synchronize and turn off at the same time. But if that doesn't take place because you are not sleeping well or long enough, the neurons will turn off a few at a time -- leaving you awake but not fully functional. Listen to Jon's health podcast where he reviews a new sleep study that gives us an intriguing look at how detrimental lack of sleep and exhaustion can be to your mental health!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Spontaneous Foreign Accent Syndrome Links To Heart Health? -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 16 May 2011 17:30:09 +0000</p> <p> "FAS is a speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a ‘foreign" accent.

When most people think of aspirin now, they no longer think of pain relief first; they think heart health. But the truth is that aspirin's heart associated benefits, although blindly accepted as fact, are not necessarily as "clean" as you have been led to believe. Listen to Jon Barron's latest podcast covering this new study which explores the pro's and con's of taking aspirin and hear what Jon has to say about natural health remedies that are much healthier and safer for your body!</p> </article> <article> <h1>Japan's Nuclear Fallout & How To Protect Yourself From Radiation Exposure -- Health Podcast</h1> <p>Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:02:56 +0000</p> <p> There is some degree of risk, no matter how small, that substantial amounts of radiation may leak from one or more of the Japanese reactors, make its way into the upper atmosphere or down into the water, and ultimately affect the United States and the rest of the world. The amount of exposure to citizens outside of Japan would ultimately be small; but unfortunately, in the case of some types of radiation, small amounts of radiation exposure -- from meat, dairy, water -- can still have health consequences, particularly for the vulnerable. In this Part II Podcast series on Japan's Nuclear Reactors, learn what you can do to protect yourself from nuclear fallout.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jonbarron.org/detox/podcast-japan-nuclear-disaster-prevention" target="_blank">read more</a></p> </article> </main></body></html>
