Instead, if we hold an unshakeable self-belief, nothing can threaten us. I suggest ways in which we may all build self-belief. These include finding out what we are good at by taking the DiSC Test, eliminatin...

Everyday Medicine with Dr LukeEpisode 36. Why We Get Fat with Professor Joseph ProiettoUp to two thirds of Australians are either overweight or obese as defined by body mass index (overweight: BMI 25-29.9, obese: BMI >30) with subsequent significant medical consequences including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cerebrovascular disease (metabolic syndrome), osteoarthritis and depression. Becoming overweight and obese involves complex interactions between neurohormonal systems of the gut, neurobiology of the brain (particularly the hypothalamus) and leptin production from adipose sites coupled with an environment where there is an abundance of high glycaemic energy dense foods. Science demonstrates that the overarching controls of obesity are genetic (70%) rather than environmental (30%). Adoption studies relating to monozygotic twins d...

On this episode of It Starts at Birth, Mark and Faith discuss the perspective from major health organizations around the world and concerning statistics in the U.S. which support the importance of the message these women are bold enough to share.
