Sapien's Playground - Medicine, Psychology, Truth Seeking and Fascinating Experiences

Hello everyone! Today it's me, Maxim Pruchnewski, recording an audio version of an essay I wrote very recently exploring and delineating the reasons and potentially tenable and tangible solutions for the fundamental problem of political division as such. I see it as a problem that keeps growing in severity and increasingly takes overhand of society, manifesting itself on a broad societal scale on virtually all levels.  Feel free to share this around because I wholeheartedly hope  that this will reach many people and make them at least look at this issue with a critical eye. There are things we absolutely have to apprehend, otherwise they are doomed to go haywire. This shall not further divide us and perpetuate the hatred, suffering and malevolence. Truth, honest speech and approaching people with a spirit of appreciation of their inherent individual sovereignty and dignity are the antidotes to this predicament.

Welcome back everybody to another conversation here on Sapien’s  Playground!  I had the great pleasure of speaking, for a second time now, with one my  greatest sources of inspiration, endurance calisthenics athlete, one of  the very strongest in this field, and a good friend of mine – Sergio  DiPasquale  @Sergio Di Pasquale AKA NewEra  .  I was particularly curious about his most recent competition in Italy  where he participated in the “True Endurance – Elite” category and  received the winner’s title by a huge margin. We chatted about his  training approach he used to optimally prepare himself for the battle,  Sergio shared the insights he gained and lessons he learned from the  event and also, we had a nice philosophical discussion regarding the  underlying foundational idea which the training process is grounded in  and which, in turn, manifests certain patterns of behavior, like the  desire to workout or to gather in a group of lik-minded individuals to  compete against each other. Please make sure to listen to the first conversation we had some time  go, not least because it was just as fascinating and insightful but also  to be better able to follow our conversation today, especially when we  start entering the religious/philosophical realm.  That all said, enjoy  listening to the episode with Sergio DiPasquale!    Follow Sergio on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sergdp_newerabarbarian/ Sergio's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/SergioDiPasqualeAKANewEra His Facebook-Account: https://www.facebook.com/sergio.dipasquale.3 Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

Herzlich willkommen zusammen zu einer weiteren Folge bei Sapien's Playground! Diese Episode wurde aufgenommen am 28.07.2022. Heute hatte ich die große Freude, mich mit Aron zusammenzusetzen und über die letzten zwei Jahre sowie die Zukunft zu philosophieren. Ihr kennt Aron womöglich unter dem Namen "Der Friedvolle Krieger" in den sozialen Medien, wo er überwiegend auf Instagram, YouTube und TikTok hochwertigen und höchstinteressanten Content produziert zu allerlei gesellschaftspolitischen, sozialen und sozioökonomischen Themen, die zurzeit sehr aktuell sind.  In unserem Gespräch ging es über genau solche Konzepte und wir diskutierten vielerlei kontroverse Ideen, wobei es uns jedes Mal wichtig war hervorzuheben, dass es dringenden Diskussions- und Gesprächsbedarf bei all diesen Themen gibt und, dass die Cancel Culture nicht nur potenziell viel mehr Schaden anrichtet, als wir vorausschauen können, sondern sich auch in jeder Hinsicht kontraproduktiv auf die weitere Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft auswirkt. Wir untersuchten das Konzept des Individuums und seine Einbettung im Kollektiv mit Hinblick auf eine bessere Zukunft, welche sich aufbauen ließe, wenn man gemeinsam die richtigen Entscheidung treffe würde. Zudem blickten wir zurück auf die letzten zwei Corona Jahre und was sich davon mitnehmen lässt, was denn The Great Reset überhaupt bedeutet und welche Rolle wir alle in der Gesellschaft dabei spielen. Ich hatte große Freude, mit Aron über all diese Themen zu diskutieren und hoffe daher sehr, dass es auch für Euch etwas interessantes mitzunehmen gibt!  Viel Spaß beim Reinhören!  Schaut euch seinen YouTube Kanal an: https://www.youtube.com/c/DerFriedvolleKrieger Aron @DerFriedvolleKrieger auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derfriedvollekrieger/ Sein Zweitkanal auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derlichtvollekrieger/ Aron auf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@derfriedvollekrieger?lang=de-DE Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

Welcome back, everyone, to Sapien's Playground.  Today I have the pleasure to be talking to Moritz Schäfer, or @MoMagnon on Instagram, who's a quite unusually knowledgeable certified nutrition coach from Germany who's truly interested in understanding how the body actually functions and how we can better create a sophisticated idea and understanding about the root causes and subsequent pathophysiologies of certain chronic diseases, particularly insulin resistance. It still seems to be a dark mystery where the doctors and scientists do not really have a rock solid conception of its pathophysiology, nor is anyone able to explain how lifestyle plays into the process without running into contradictions or other conflicting theories. So, essentially that's what we were trying to sort out with Moritz today. My aim was to provide one framework that you could apply when considering the causes of insulin resistance, when thinking about its development and, ultimately and hopefully, finding a way of rectifying the broken system. The conversation might have become quite technical at certain moments, especially when we were talking and taking a look at the Randall cycle. But hopefully this episode will be helpful to provide you with a basic understanding of what exactly doesn't work properly in the body when becoming insulin resistant and what precisely you could maybe try or even should do if your goal is to make your body healthier again. Because there are certain things which are undisputably going to help you to achieve this.  Enjoy listening!  MoMagnon's Webpage: https://momagnon.com/ Support Him on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mo_magnon Find Him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mo.magnon/ Check Out His Book "The Stretchmark Secret": https://stretchmarksecret.com/ Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

Hello everyone! This is episode number 39 with Dr. Tommy Wood, MD and PhD. To quote Dr. Wood from his website, he is a Research faculty member at the University of Washington (UW) in the Department of Pediatrics. His research focuses on ways to increase resilience of, and treat injury of, the developing brain. Dr. Tommy Wood has a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, a medical degree from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo. In addition to his role as a faculty member at UW, he serves as President of Physicians for Ancestral Health, and on the scientific advisory board of Hintsa Performance. Alongside his career in medicine and research, Dr. Wood invested time in developing easily-accessible methods with which to track human health, performance, and longevity. He has published extensively and spoken on multiple topics surrounding functional and ancestral approaches to health, including examining the root causes of multiple sclerosis and insulin resistance. He also is interested in using his experiences in coaching and competing in rowing, CrossFit, powerlifting, and ultra-endurance racing to inform Tommy’s day-to-day interaction with clients looking to achieve long-term health and performance. Our today’s conversation circles all around brain health. The episode starts by laying the foundation for what has to be taken into careful consideration when it comes to figuring out the balance between a flat-out obsessively stressful approach on the one extreme end and a don’t-care-about-anything-do-whatever-feels-good mentality on the other hand whenever thinking about any specific lifestyle intervention. Keeping that in mind, the main part circled mostly around the complicated question surrounding easily implementable steps for virtually everyone that are effective at preventing rapid cognitive decline especially in later stages in life. Certainly one of the most practically useful and informative episodes so far and I really appreciate Dr. Tommy Wood for agreeing to talk to me today! Stay tuned for a part two and enjoy the episode for now!

Hallo zusammen!  Heute teile ich mal ein kleines Update zu einer Story, die mir letztens widerfahren ist, die ich auch in ganzer Ausführlichkeit dargelegt und analysiert hatte in einem vorherigen englischen Essay. Dieses deutschsprachige Essay widme ich einem brillianten Beitrag von einer Kommilitonin zu folgenden Geschehnissen. Ein anderer Kommilitone in meinem Medizinstudium empfand es als unerträglich und absolut unakzeptabel, dass ein Dozent vorsichtig die wissenschaftlich unabstreitbaren potenziell schädlichen Nebeneffekte vom langen Maskentragen hervorhob und dabei auf zwei ausgedruckte Papers verwies.  Das i - Tüpfelchen bei der ganzen Sache war, dass ich mich bereiterklärt hatte, auf Vorschlag des Dozenten wohlgemerkt, die beiden Papers sachlich und unvoreingenommen durchzulesen und in Form von zwei Präsentationen der Gruppe vorzustellen. Als Manifestation seiner Intoleranz gegenüber ihm widersprechenden Ansichten und Informationen entschied sich jener Kommilitone dazu, das Prodekanat in zwei (mittlerweile drei) E-Mails darüber zu informieren, mit dem Ziel, dass der Dozent aufhören solle zu unterrichten. Auch ich, so der Kommilitone, sei natürlich "fehl am Platze" was das Medizinstudium angeht, aber das soll nicht Teil dieser Diskussion sein. Ich lese nun einen Spitzenbeitrag in leicht modifizierter Form vor, welcher von einer Kommilitonin auf seine absurden, bösartigen und nicht haltbaren Behauptungen  verfasst wurde. Der Beitrag umfasst hauptsächlich eine argumentative Darlegung der Ansicht, dass es gewisse wissenschaftliche Prinzipien / Axiome gibt, an die es sich zu halten gilt, die wir als Mediziner und Wissenschaftler akzeptiert haben, um sicherzustellen, dass wissenschaftlicher Fortschritt als solcher überhaupt stattfinden kann, und im besten Falle noch in die richtige Richtung.

Hello everyone! Thanks a lot for tuning in for another podcast episode on Sapien’s Playground. Today I had Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg as my special guest and it is hard to overstate how great of an honor it is to have him on the show in order to help me and all of us figure out better ways to look at the complicated world around us. Steven Jonathan Rummelsburg holds a degree in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara. A school teacher, he is also a writer and speaker on matters of faith, culture, and education. Mr. Rummelsburg is a member of the Teacher Advisory Board and writer of curriculum at the Sophia Institute for Teachers, a contributor to the Integrated Catholic Life, Crisis Magazine, The Civilized Reader, The Standard Bearers, Catholic Exchange, and a founding member of the Brinklings Literary Club. Following these areas of interest, our conversation focused on questions concerning religious matters and how authentic education, or the lack thereof, is to be viewed as a major contributor to the emergence of wide, diverse and peculiar sets of issues, some of which we managed to discuss in great detail. An attempt to conceptualize the existence of free will, questions surrounding the controversies around abortion, absolute and relative morality, the marxist doctrine and equality of outcome, as well the endeavor to articulate ways to conceptualize God were some of the highly interesting ideas that we managed to introduce. Please share this episode if you found it interesting and helpful and enjoy listening  to our conversation!

Welcome back to a new episode on Sapien’s Playground! Today I am very delighted to have as my guest Dietetics Student and Biochemistry enthusiast Nicole Crendal (@bio.chem.nikki on Instagram). We had an awesome exchange on a whole bunch of complicated issues, including the exploration of possible explanations for autoimmunity which Nikki became so interested in as a result of her own health journey. She was struggling with several conditions which she also elucidated in this episode while providing insight into the things she did that helped her to resolve the issues, dietary intervention in particular. Furthermore, we continued speaking about the potential future of dietetics and medicine, had a nice discussion about controversies in the realm of sports nutrition and closed with a ramble highlighting our fascination for the jaw-droppingly incomprehensible, yet beautiful complexity of the human body. Enjoy the episode and please share this around if you found it interesting and valuable.

Welcome back to Sapiens Plaground! I am more than delighted to welcome my friend Brian Sanders back to the show. We discussed as much as we managed to cover in this hour with regards to the Food Lies Film which he has been working on very diligently for more than 5 years now. Learn more about Brians story and our discussion regarding the five most important pillars of health in the first episode where I already had the pleasure to introduce myself and you guys to his remarkable work. Make sure to check out episode number 3 for that purpose. In this one, however, our main focus was to present a throrough and comprehensive introduction to and delineation of the contents of the film. At the same token we managed to get to the core of Brians motivation behind starting on this unbelievably difficult journey characterized by a not-trivial amount of challenges which we accurately presented in this episode, too. This episode can be considered as the ultimate Food-Lies-Guide that is supposed to provide you with a pre-taste of the project, called Food Lies which started out as an endeavor to debunk "What the Health" and ended up as a comprehensive and fascinating deep dive into a wide array of branches in the realm of nutrition summarized in a 6-part-series.  Enjoy our conversation and please make sure to share this around and check out Brians work!

In  the section "Bedtime Story" I will read a chapter from a book for you which I personally found interesting and find worth sharing with you! Please excuse if I my misspronounce some words, since English is not my first language and I could potentially make mistakes in the pronounciation. Our first book will be "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration - A  Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects by Weston A. Price" and in Episode 9 of the series I immerse myself in Chapter 7 of this great piece of work.  Enjoy listening!
