  • End the music

    Please please PLEASE no one is listening to TED Health to hear annoying jazz playing in the background. Why do podcasts think they need music played while someone is speaking? It’s SO annoying I cannot listen to podcasts I’m interested in.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The nurse who can smell Parkinson’s | Joy Milne (Senses Miniseries #4)
Q: What is the current scope and aim of Nose to Diagnose?
The initiative has tested thousands of samples, pinpointed the back/neck region as the source of the odor, and aims to implement a simple, non-invasive diagnostic test in hospitals globally.
The nurse who can smell Parkinson’s | Joy Milne (Senses Miniseries #4)
Q: What were the first concrete steps to turn this idea into a test?
Researchers collected worn T-shirts from participants, conducted controlled tests, and compared those with and without Parkinson's to identify consistent odor signatures, confirming the scent-based biomarker.
The nurse who can smell Parkinson’s | Joy Milne (Senses Miniseries #4)
Q: How did you come to realize that scent could be a biomarker for Parkinson's?
Milne explains that her lifelong heightened sense of smell allowed her to notice a change in her husband's scent years before diagnosis, which led to formal testing and the Nose to Diagnose project.
Shoshana's Summer Playlist (4/5): Your gut’s guide to a happier microbiome | Megan Rossi
Q: What practical steps can listeners take to nourish their gut microbiome on a daily basis?
Incorporate the 'super six' plant-based groups daily—legumes, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, herbs/spices, nuts/seeds—plus fermented foods and oily fish to provide a diverse range of fibers and nutrients that feed different microbial communities, while avoiding unnecessary ultra-processed foods and practicing mindful eating to reduce stress-related digestive issues.
Shoshana's Summer Playlist (4/5): Your gut’s guide to a happier microbiome | Megan Rossi
Q: What is the biggest myth about gut health you encounter, and why is it so damaging?
A dominant myth is that you can simply cut out certain foods, like gluten or legumes, to improve gut health. In reality, restricting these foods can reduce microbiome diversity and nutrient intake, undermining long-term gut health and leading to difficulties when reintroducing foods later on.
