Beyond The Basics Health Academy Podcast

Beyond the Basics Health Academy is excited to welcome Dr. Mary Wingo, phD on the show to talk about stress and the effects that it has on a person and society. She brings a deep understanding of human physiology and the human stress response. Mary has spent the last 20 years studying and really trying to understand stress and how it has an effect on our communities, our health, and our biology. The study of stress and adaptation is probably the most complicated and fascinating field in science. After more than a hundred years of study. most scientists are still mystified by the mechanisms of human adaptation. She really breaks it down in a fascinating manner.

She also talks about her book that addresses all these issues The Impact of the Human Stress Response: The biological origins and solutions to human stress.

The Impact of the Human Stress Response is a humanitarian work intended to educate the public world wide about the true causes and costs of preventable human stress.

WE DISCUSS IN THIS PODCAST MANY OF THE CONCEPTS THAT MARY WINGO TALKS ABOUT IN HER BOOK:

• The definition of stress
• The root causes of stress and learn how to manage it effectively
• Why the stress response is essential for helping one adapt to one's environment
• The fascinating biology of human stress
• The 5 major causes of stress in modernized society
• How to protect your health – learn how to avoid over-loading one body’s stress response

One thing that seems to escape many analysts and political leaders is the staggering costs of stress in modern society within the psychological, social, political, and economic sectors. In Mary's analysis, preventable human stress leads to (many, many) millions of unnecessary death every year. Furthermore, the economic costs of chemical, physical, and psychological human stress world-wide are well into the multiple trillions of dollars of losses every year.

These losses are due to five major causes of modernized stress:

• Loss of working memory
• Loss of social capital
• Loss of social equality
• Depletion of the human biome
• Chemical stress, both voluntary and involuntary sources

In this episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy, Dr. Meaghan discusses the need for sunlight. This conversation stems not only from really getting into the research of the benefits of Vitamin D, but also the conversation that we need to have that it is vital to get enough sunlight exposure.

Dr. Meaghan talks throughout the podcast about the vital role of vitamin D and the need for sunlight exposure. Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium balance, promoting bone health, preventing falls and fractures, and supporting overall well-being. However, the significance of vitamin D extends far beyond bone health, with research linking it to various conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases, among others.

25-Vitamin D deficiency has risen significantly in recent times and is higher in certain populations and is associated with increased mortality rates, infections, and a range of diseases.

Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. We explore the findings of a study that analyzed vitamin D levels in the US population, revealing a high prevalence of deficiency, particularly among minority groups. These findings underline the importance of maintaining healthy vitamin D levels.

The episode emphasizes the significance of sunlight exposure in vitamin D synthesis, noting that about 50% to 90% of vitamin D is absorbed through the skin via sunlight. However, several factors, including season, time of day, latitude, altitude, air pollution, and skin pigmentation, influence sun-induced vitamin D synthesis. We address the need for sensible sun exposure recommendations, advocating for approximately 20 minutes of daily sunshine with over 40% of the skin exposed.

Dr Meaghan also explores recent research from the University of South Australia, which establishes a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and premature death and that WHO states that 340,000 Americans die each year due to not enough sun exposure.

Join us in this episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy to gain valuable insights into the vital role of vitamin D and the importance of embracing sunlight exposure for overall health and well-being.
