@MitoPsychoBio Martin, this is a recent article on beliefs and aging in Scientific American. scientificamerican.com/article/some-p…

We don't often get to see how ideas for research projects emerge, and how they unfold over time. Today I share what led to the MiSBIE study: a platform to understand the mind-mitochondria connection. Amazing people coming together made this happen. So grateful.

And it's out! Check out this video of my talk at Coeur des sciences @cdsuqam on aging, a TED-talk style presentation (in French). So much fun, thanks to Stéphan Chaix and all the team! youtube.com/watch?v=9cr-h6…

@sciencegirl If he were more encouraging and not just turning his back indicating decline of help, then I would like that. But this way - it achieves something good, but damages and harms as well.

Teaching independence What are your thoughts

@cusciofhealth @cdsuqam Alan, I complained about how negatively, manipulatively/suggestively aging is portrayed as decline never as an evolutionary attainment. I get support now for the damage done by this manipulation from here: Levy BR, Slade MD. Aging Redefined: doi.org/10.3390/geriat…

@DrJosefWD Dr. Josef, do these new guidelines represent some progress now? medscape.com/viewarticle/ne…

Are depression treatments making things worse? Docs may miss the link between rising prescriptions and suicide rates. Quick med checks + checklists replace understanding the person. #MentalHealth #Depression

@MitoPsychoBio @Dr_Epel Two or three great persons meeting. McEwen's contributions are invaluable. Elissa Epel's research opened doors and fostered so many young minds! And now you and your eye-opening research on how energy flow is the interface between mind and physiology!! Absolutely brilliant.

This morning I share a special moment when I met Bruce McEwen, a true blessing in my life. So grateful to @Dr_Epel for the wonderful introduction. Mentors like Bruce are precious. They put their heart into what they do, and into training the next generation, leaving the world a better place. open.substack.com/pub/martinpica…

@MitoPsychoBio Prana - energy that stimulates neural and ns function Apana – downward energy movement. Vyana – that energy which spreads or diffuses all over the whole body Udana – the energy/ breath which moves upward Samana – that which digests & nourishes our body,

@MitoPsychoBio Then there are descending tracts and in Ayurveda the five pranas or vital energy flows: prana, apana, samana, udana and vyana energies regulating oxygenation, circulation, elimination, childbbirth, digestion, neural & brain functions etc. All flow of consciousness, life force.

@MitoPsychoBio Energy or vital life force is related to prana. According to the science of Yoga, this life force travels through the energy centers of the spine up the ascending tracts in the spine to the brain stem to thalamus and then cortex.

@MitoPsychoBio We could define alertness, wakefulness as silent dynamism, silent energy - like a racer standing in the starting block, waiting, but ready to run any moment, perhaps.

@MitoPsychoBio Energy has dynamism in it. There is a dynamism that is combined with silence, silent dynamism, lke in the superfluid vacuum state. There is energy that can be infinite dynamism where when energy is shared or travelling it is already arriving - instantaneously.

@Metabolic_Mind @DavidBaszucki sciencealert.com/scientists-lin…

Hear directly from @DavidBaszucki as he shares the deeply personal story that inspired the creation of Metabolic Mind and why his family’s journey continues to drive our commitment to advancing metabolic therapies for serious mental illness.

@MitoPsychoBio incoherent, fragmented functioning of brain - how to explain those energy blockages, not energy resistance but block of energy flow across modular structures or networks?

@MitoPsychoBio flood.....

@MitoPsychoBio nd such a LOOD of academic ppers too - not absorbable anymore.

@MitoPsychoBio in the chest area.... Neuroscience says it all comes form the brain, but it is felt in the chest. Euphorea when listening to music or attending a sports' event e.g.

@MitoPsychoBio Athletes may have more mitochondria in certain physiolog. areas. Mainly mentally active persons have other domains of mitoch. accumulations. I wonder about the energy centers that have been known in the ancient science of Yoga. Why e.g. o we feel love and happiness powerfully

@MitoPsychoBio One aspect that comes to my mind is energy hubs in the ody. Martin has shown that evolutionary higher evolved brain areas have ore mitochndria and that mitochondria accumulation difefres from one person to another according to erhaps what is called dharma , i.e. mission, calling

@MitoPsychoBio You supplied the scientific understanding for something that others have shown empirically that mind-body therapies can heal even quite advanced & thus quite severe diseases. Which has always been neglected in the medical sciences as not really conforming to the paradigm, faith
