The Straight Dope (on your brain) [SSL 67]

 

Another Wednesday Audio delivery!
This is Soul School Lesson 67 (SSL 67)


The human brain is a “soup” of chemicals (the consistency of soft butter) encased in the bone “bowl” of your skull. This gelatinous cocktail needs to stay in balance for optimal mental and bodily health. Today, I’ll talk about serotonin and dopamine and an experiment I’m taking during February that you might want to try too. (scroll down for the AUDIO PLAYER)

SHOW NOTES:

Is it getting harder to be around other humans? Today I explore this phenomenon and what can be done. If you’re an introvert or just someone who’s been using technology more in the last five years, you’ve probably noticed that your in-person interactions take more energy than you would like and might not be as deep. Something has fundamentally changed in our ways of being and being together and there’s a way to encounter each other that we’ve left behind. Have you noticed?

WINE SEGMENT

Today, I’m answering the big question I’m asked a lot at the Vineyard: how to avoid a red wine headache and why does it really happen.

…and I’m revealing some other facts about wine grapes.

The real reason people get a headache from red wine?
Histamines.
They are found in the skins of grapes, can give some people headaches if they are sensitive to histamines.  Red wine will affect a histamine sensitive wine drinker more than white wine because red wine has spent more time in contact with grape skins that host the histamines.

Some people think they get headaches because they are allergic to sulfur. Unlikely.
But, only 1% of the population has this allergy.

Other facts:
A serving of wine has only 80-100 calories

Sparking your Muse

emilymillerToday, we welcome journalist, reporter, and writer…

Emily McFarlan Miller

Her twitter address @emmillerwrites

Her website bio is very impressive and full of fun and fascinating stuff. You will find yourself clicking every link! Check it out here.

This was a fun interview!
Emily is a reporter and social media maven for the Chicago Sun-Times. She is also a Relevant magazaine regular contributor .

Most often Emily is asked to write about controversies, but she was happy to share with me good news about some churches making a big positive difference in the world.

We also chat about why we don’t hear more good news about the church. Her answer is very compelling.

Plus, we talk about her fascinating work with Hope for the First Nations, a nonprofit she founded with some friends right after she graduated high school. They partner with the Anishinaabe people of the White Earth Reservation. At the last board meeting, she was voted in as president!


 

Please take part in this anonymous 30-second listener-survey so I can continue to fund and produce the show. Once again, thank you so much for listening.


Spark My Muse is now one of the most popular shows in its category on iTunes
(The Society/Culture- Philosophy category! Just like my hero Krista Tippet’s show On Being.)

All the more reason to be thankful for you!

Summer Hiatus (2014)

summerhaitus-2

 

I’ve decided to commence a summer hiatus.

Most of my blogging and most of my social media activity will be reduced. I’m thinking somewhere around 85% (but maybe more).

If you’d like to contact me, I’ll be checking my email a few times per week. You can use the contact tab.

I’ve already been scaling back. The spirit is moving and I a sense that “permission to not produce” in online formats over these next few warm months is important right now.

I’ve been posting entries 2-3 times a weeks for such a long time. So, it’s weird. It’s like shedding skin, I suppose. The bigger challenge may be reducing my online reading, at this point!

I covet your prayers and I hope you’ll be here when I get back.

And yes, I’ll send up dispatches (once in a while) and I’ll also let you know when things will be rolling here again.

For those of you in the North America, may your enjoy your summer. I plan to and it feels freeing already.

Love and peace,

Lisa
