Question: Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm from San Luis Obispo, California. So my question for you guys, I'm curious, if you were in the Freaky Friday situation of body swapping with each other, what are some of the first things that you would do? [Jensen points to each of them] Yes, you two.

Jared: Okay, so some people know this, some people don't. Swap Meat - no, was it called Swap Meat? Where I become like Gary? That was initially, there is a treatment for an episode where we body-swapped. It was Sam and Dean. And it was a full on, I think I'm in Dean's body and there is a Saturday Night Fever disco dance contest? It was pretty wacky. And then I think as they started developing it, I think somebody at the network studio was like, 'You know what, this might be jumping the shark.' Even though we had already done an episode called Jumping the Shark?

Jensen: Right. Didn't they change it though? In an effort to, wasn't it like midseason or something and it was in an effort to give us some time off?

Jared: Oh! I don't recall the exact reason.

Jensen: I feel like - I could be wrong - but I feel like that may have been it. If it was Sam and Dean that were swapped then we would be working all day every day -

Jared: Yeah, I see. Oh yeah.

Jensen: both of us would. I think they did it in an effort to split us up, cause that was just - yeah. They usually would make an effort to give us some breaks here and there. And I think that may have been one of the reasons why they were like, 'Ooh, this is a good idea, but they're gonna be working fourteen hours all day every day.'

Jared: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I think you're correct. I think - so if Jared was body-swapping with Jensen, there's probably a different answer, but if Sam body-swapped with Dean, he'd probably go to the fridge, throw out all the unhealthy shit and put in salads and fruits -

Jensen: He'd throw out the beer and put kombucha -

Jared: Hey, I like kombucha.

Jensen: I know.

Jared: So I'll go with that for sure.

Jensen: So are you talking about Sam and Dean or are you talking about Jensen and Jared?

Q: I was talking about Jared and Jensen.

Jared: My fault, Sarah, geez. They're pushy in San Luis Obispo. I'm teasing.

Jared: I'd probably get up and play a concert if I was Jensen.

Jensen: I would go get my knee surgery.

Jared: [laughs] You ain't lyin. What would you do [to fan]?

Jensen: And then I would go play any game of pickup basketball there was. I'd just be like [mimes slamming down an imaginary ball, waggles finger] uh-uh-uh-uh.

Jared: I pulled that yesterday!

Jensen: I know! Somebody tried to toss something by Jared and he just slapped the keys down and was like [waggles finger again] not in here.

Jared: It was car keys and I think in the group that I hang out with now, but also grew up with? If anything is thrown within the vicinity of one of the friend members that shit is getting swatted out of the air. Like, don't throw it if it's breakable, don't throw it not near - people are like jumping over children in strollers trying to knock something out of the air.

Jensen: You did it, I remember - I can't remember what it was, but you did it in the middle of a scene. And you didn't even mean to do it, it was just so reactionary. I was tossing Misha something and you just, you were like sad or it was a depressing scene, I was like, 'C'mon Cass let's go' and I tossed something and you just [mimes slapping down object without looking up]. And I remember you immediately regretted it because we had to go again! [both crack up]

Jared: I believe it, yeah. It's like keys falling off a table, you just reach for it without even thinking. Okay, Sarah, turn the tables. If you had to be Jared or Jensen for a day, what would you do?

Audience: Ooooh.

Jared: I like.

Q: Let's see. If I was Jared for a day, I would be able to reach anything on the top shelf, easily.

Jared: Clean the cupboards without a step stool, I like it.

Q: And if I was Jensen for a day, I'd get to look in the mirror.

Jared: What would you [laughs] wearing what? Soldier Boy?

Q: That is the question.

Jared: Shakespeare said it best.

Jensen: Just stare in the mirror! [props face on hand]

Jared: That's gonna be season sixteen of Supernatural. Just Jensen [furiously flutters his eyelashes].

chapter twenty three

in which orion has leukemia, and calum doesn’t know.

calum hood x fem!oc

read other chapters

september 4, 2018 los angeles, california orion

Being alive right now is exhausting. If I could, I’d sleep 10 hours every night, but the fact is, I wake up every few hours to throw up or with intense body aches that make it impossible to lay comfortably. It’s not comfortable to do anything, but it’s far too uncomfortable to sleep.

My body is at war with itself, or, I guess, with the chemotherapy drugs coursing through my veins. Just like I’m fighting for my life, my body itself is at battle, too. It’s an awful feeling to know that even my organs are working against me now, on top of dealing with being in a temporary long distance relationship. The blood coursing through my veins contains the evidence of my impending death, and the poison mixing with it is there to make my life just a little bit longer, but far more painful.

Sometimes I wonder if going through with treatment even matters.

Leukemia is a death sentence. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. Is it worth feeling like pure shit every day until I die? How much better is my life if all that I’m doing to extend it is also making me feel worse?

My mind is at war with itself too.

I can’t figure out whether I’m excited for or dreading the day that Calum and I reunite in San Diego. I am looking forward to having him as a support system in everything after dealing with this without him for over a month now. I am looking forward to getting to spend time with my favorite human being on this planet. I am looking forward to seeing his smile and smelling his cologne and holding his hand and watching him perform and hugging him as tight as I can.

I’m not looking forward to crushing him with the fact that I’ve been lying to him, by omission, about my life. I dread the look on his face when I tell him that I have cancer. I dread having to hear him fall apart while the fact that I’m dying settles in. Calum is going to be devastated, just like everyone else in my life has been. He’s going to be generally upset with me for not telling him. He’s going to wish I’d told him as soon as I’d found out and he’s going to go into recluse mode, mulling all the facts over in silence and battling all of his feelings about the news.

There’s still a piece of me that wants to call him right now and beg him to come home. What wouldn’t I give to have him here right now? In some alternate universe, he’d be taking care of me 24/7, coming with me to every chemo appointment and bringing me fresh water whenever I ask. He’d be up with me at all hours, holding my hair back while I vomit for the twelfth time each day. He’d have saltine crackers on autoship to arrive every few days. I wouldn’t have to do anything for myself and I wouldn’t have to do anything alone.

That’s one of the worst parts. While I’m in emotional turmoil with my choice not to tell Calum and him on tour and my body is processing both cancer and poison, I feel so alone.

Emelia helps. My family helps. Macy helps. People are showing up for me constantly, consistently, but the majority of my time is still alone. I wish I could talk about everything and have someone with me just to keep me company, but I can’t. I’m alone. I’m lonely. I’m dying. I’m depressed. I feel awful, mentally and physically. All I want is Calum, but everything I’ve done for the past month has been putting space between myself and him.

I’ve fucked myself over, plain and simple.

Today is my final round of chemo for this cycle, and while I know I’ll still feel like pure shit for a few weeks, it’s nice to have reached this mile marker.

I take my shower before I get ready to head to the hospital. I woke up at 5 am, puking a few times before giving up on trying to go back to bed. I took a long shower, standing under the near-boiling hot water for almost an hour. It was nice to feel something, even if it was the sensation of almost burning my skin with water.

Then my heart felt like the most fragile scrap of paper when I got dressed.

I’d gone to Calum’s side of the closet, as I have almost every day since he left, to grab a hoodie. It’s a random Liverpool football hoodie that he’s probably worn a grand total of two times in my presence, but it’s clean and it’s thick and cozy, so it meets my criteria. It doesn't smell like him, but it's not hard to imagine that it does. I can pretend it smells of faint cigarettes, coffee, pine needles, and honey: everything that reminds me of him.

As I grab the hoodie from his shelf of things, a piece of paper falls to the floor. Apparently it was hidden in the folds of the worn-out green cotton. I recognize Calum’s favorite blue pen scribbled on a scrap of notebook paper and pick up the note instantly.

O,I guess you’ve worked your way down the stack of hoodies. I don’t know how long it’s taken you to get to this point, but know that that means we’re that much closer to being able to be skin to skin, hand in hand, eye to eye, and heart to heart.

I know it’s hard to believe, since I’m writing this before I leave, but I swear to you: I miss you so much. I haven’t even left and I already miss you.

Fuck, how pathetic am I? Do you see my tearstains?

I am irrevocably and inconsolably in love with you. I will miss you any second of any minute we spend apart. I can only imagine — dread — how much I will be missing you by the time you read this.

I know hardly any of this will be news to you, but I can’t leave without having pieces of my love for you buried around our home. I’m guessing this will be the first you find, but hopefully you’ll find the others soon.

Can’t promise the others won’t be as sappy as this. Just need you to know just how much I miss you.

I am infinitely yours. With all my goddamn love,Cal.

h/t Have a Gay Day….

Gladys' performances were overtly gay. She loved to show off her glamorous girlfriends and she openly flirted with women in the audience. Her cabaret show at the Ubangi Club even featured a cast of drag queens. She never hid the fact that she was lesbian and was happy to tell the press that she had married a white woman. But with the end of the Harlem Renaissance and the beginning of the Great Depression, tolerance for LGBTQ people began to wane. Gladys once again packed her bags; this time her destination was California. There, she continued to play in gay clubs and make records but she never achieved the level of success she had enjoyed in New York.

In the 1940s and 50s, McCarthyism threatened the livelihoods of LGBTQ people. The so-called "lavender scare" saw LGBTQ people as a threat to American values as well as to national security because it was thought they were easily manipulated. So, LGBTQ people were often blacklisted or even arrested. Afraid of prosecution, Gladys hung up her top hat and started to wear dresses. She published a desperate article in Ebony magazine titled "I am Woman Again," in which she claimed to have cured her homosexuality by undergoing female hormone treatments. She went so far as to marry a man, only to later have him deny the marriage ever took place. Sadly, Gladys died of pneumonia before the start of the gay rights movement. Although she had once been so proud of her queerness, Gladys was forced to spend the end of her life in the closet.

Celebrate Gladys Bentley.

h/t Seliah Deleon

HAS BIOHACKING REACHED ITS TIPPING POINT?

Nancy Trent, Trent & Company, Inc., Marketing Communications

Biohacking has become a movement shaping modern health and wellness. For many, the journey into biohacking begins with a desire to improve two key areas of life: sleep and stress.These are often the culprits behind diminished well-being, driving peo-ple to seek solutions that optimize their physical and mental health.What was once a niche pursuit embraced by Silicon Valley innovators and tech-savvy enthusiasts has steadily made its way into the mainstream. More celebrities are investing in biohacking—from Victoria Beckham using red light therapy for her beauty routine to BrookeBurke and Tom Brady utilizing various biohacking techniques to stay in shape. LeBron James reportedly drops $1.5 million annually to keep his body in tip-top shape, spending hours each day on his biohacking routine, which includes cryotherapy, red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber time, a mid-day nap, and a high-carb, low-sugar diet. Consumers are enticed by the promise of enhanced cognitive abilities, better physical performance, and increased longevity.

Dan Bienenfeld’s insights reflecta visionary approach to integratingtechnology with health and well-ness. He emphasizes that in today’sfast-paced, high-stress world, le-veraging cutting-edge tools and AIis essential to not only survive butthrive. As the creator of the largestintegrative health center in the U.S.,a renowned expert in structural in-tegration (Rolfing), and the authorof Align for Life and the Body Mas-tery System series, he understandsthe immense potential technologyoffers. “The key is to use it wisely:track, train, and improve,” Bienen-feld explains. “Technology, includinga wide array of cutting-edge equip-ment and gadgets, is the best way38to do that.” His approach blendspersonalized care with scalablesolutions, ensuring that high-quali-ty treatment isn’t limited by time orphysical constraints.

“For instance,” he adds, “I can treat up to 15 patients in a day if I spend an hour with each. But with my Aligned Life Studio APP, I can reach millions of people every day.”His app aims to democratize access to his expertise, empowering users to track their progress, learn actionable techniques, and ultimately enhance their physical and mental well-being. This innovative fusion of integrative health and technology sets a new benchmark for personalized, accessible wellness in the modern era.Dr. Bradley Jabour, founder of ZeroRad Whole Body MRI and a distinguished neuro radiologist, is advancing the field of state-of-the-art imaging technology. “You may not like the term biohacking, but my goal is to use advanced technology to make life healthy and livable for as long as possible,” says Dr. Jabour. “Today, the great triumvirate is advanced imaging, laboratory studies, and genetic testing.” At his facilities currently in Southern California, patients undergo a cutting-edge, radiation-free MRI scan designed to detect critical health issues like aneurysms, pancreatic cancers, and degenerative disc disease, among others. These scans include features like brain volumetrics to assess Alzheimer’s risks or depression and tools for evaluating liver health as well as so much more. Patients also receive personalized consultations with Dr. Jabour, gaining unique insights into their health and customized recommendations for longevity and wellness. By perfecting these techniques over the course of performing more than 4,000 procedures since 2008, Dr. Jabour has set a new standard for integrating high tech diagnostic tools into preventative care. His vision aligns with the ethos of biohacking: harnessing technology to optimize health and extend vitality.

Biohacking makes trying to be healthy so much more effective and easier with access to so much more information, experts and tracking than we had in the past. New advancements have captured the imagination of the wellness community, and the great news is that the ability to biohack is growing exponentially. I would still be a teenager if biohacking was available when I was a kid. However, you have to be discerning as it continues to build momentum and evolve. More products and devices are becoming accessible to a wider audience, so it’s vital to use good judgment and quality research to seamlessly fit this into our lifestyles, ultimately transforming the way people think about health optimization.

The interest in this category is also fueled by the rise of biohack- ing social media influencers and educators like Dave Asprey sharing their wisdom with the world. However, there are misconceptions about biohacking that still need to be addressed in mainstream discussions. One common misconception is that biohacking requires expensive tech or extreme interventions, but it can be as simple as adjusting what you eat or how you hydrate. It seems that it’s not about being extreme, it’s about being intentional with what you put into and around your body and mind. It goes to show education on the matter is critical as well as showing people how small changes can have big impacts.

There are more than just misconceptions about biohacking, there are real dangers of false information rooted in inaccurate data and so-called experts advertising on platforms who don’t know how to safely and effectively execute their ideas. One of my biggest concerns is with sleep biohacking or as Dr. Michael Breus, PhD & Founder of SleepDoctor.com, calls it, DIY Sleep. “Sleep is a complicated process, and I would say no one in the field knows everything there is to know, so when someone says I’ve got a supplement or gadget that helps with your sleep, I ask for data. If there has not been a clinical trial, then I ask for one to be done,” says Dr. Breus. Biohackers should be listening, reading, and watching every expert they can, to try and learn how to hack your biology. The issue that arises for Dr. Breus is that there are several “experts” in the field of sleep who have popular podcasts, Youtube channels or radio shows, but not a single one of them is either actively practicing or ever have. Dr. Breus adds, “None of them have seen any patients nor are they licensed to do so. They also tend to speak with tremendous authority and confidence, which makes people believe them, and then follow bad advice.” This is how consumers and biohackers can be harmed, when there are those who know the research well, but have no idea how to put it all into practice. Exploring this growing phenomenon requires patience, caution and consistent research to ensure that new concepts are turned into concrete outcomes.

The SmartMat™ by Podimetrics, originally designed for patients with complex diabetes, has expanded its appeal beyond its initial purpose. This easy-to-use device, which requires users to simply place their feet on the mat for 20 seconds a day, seamlessly transmits data to a care management team to detect potential health issues early. While it continues to deliver life-changing outcomes for vulnerable patients by saving limbs, lives, and costs, its simplicity and efficiency have also attracted health-conscious individuals and biohackers eager to track wellness metrics. As perceptions of biohacking evolve, tools like the SmartMat™ exemplify how innovative health solutions can benefit a broader audience. The engagement in biohacking techniques is growing as people increasingly seek ways to com- bat the effects of stress on the body, enhance their energy levels, and maintain productivity. Chronic stress can take a significant toll on physical health, contributing to inflammation, fatigue, and de- creased recovery rates. Plus, some biohacking methods are simpler than you think and the ease of this implementation into our daily life is enticing. One brand that demonstrates this is Energy Lounger, an FDA-approved ergonomic lounger that was designed with the latest triple-frequency technology, deepening and enhancing the immediate and long-term benefits proven to improve well-being via red light therapy. “The simplicity of the Energy Lounger makes it accessible to anyone,” says CEO Barry Warrington. He continues, “For biohackers, the Energy Lounger offers advanced benefits like reducing inflammation, accelerating recovery, and optimizing cellular health—all key factors in improving performance and longevity.” This brand has created a product that caters to both hardcore biohackers and people who are just starting to explore the wellness space. One can just lie down, relax, and let the technology do its work. It’s easy and the results are powerful, no matter your level of experience.

Similarly, stress doesn’t just affect the body; it also leaves its mark on the skin. Modern lifestyles often expose skin to environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays, and free radicals, leading to premature aging and dullness. The other aspect of biohacking is consumers are on the hunt for alternative solutions. It may be that the current roster of products is not satisfactory, and they are looking for something beyond. A company that meets their demands and is a beacon of hope is Skin Moderne, a highly impactful, bio-compatible skincare alternative to some of the most popular ant-aging products. Skin Moderne is revolutionizing skincare with gentle, bio-compatible serums that promote renewal without damage or pain. Their bioactive products are clinically tested and use plant-based ingredients, offering a kinder approach to rejuvenation. “We push beyond commonly accepted boundaries to exceed the limits of what is normally done to not only do it better, but to deliver what was previously thought of as undeliverable. Our unwavering goal has been to deliver significant advancements in preventative aging, aging reversal, and overall skin wellness by removing harm and harmful side effects from the equation,” says Skin Moderne CEO, Richard Purvis.

Simplicity and power drive the appeal of a biohacking product and that is exactly the kind of solution N1o1 has also designed. They are the first to use nitric oxide in skincare and supplements.

Companies are working toward more alternative options by attempting to change medicine and medical practices to a more natural approach. “We are trying to shift the mindset of even thedoctors from going from allopathic medicine and the way that they even present their own treatment to their patients to a more holistic approach. Our product is an alternative to over the counter and prescription medication,” explains Wendy Cohn, Owner of CODE Health, an innovative, therapeutic company dedicated to advancing human health and well-being through cutting-edge, energized drops that help the body detect and repair cellular damage. Co-owner Dr. Lisa Piper explains the Chief Scientist Dr. McMichael's formulas, “Our technology can map information in the substance and digitize it into what we call the code, and then the code is then infused into the saline solution, which only acts as a carrier to deliver that healthy code to unhealthy cells.” Their research is all about restoring balance in the body on a cellular level. Their modern medicine cabinet offers a simple, safe and effective treatment option for people and pets.

A major factor driving interest in biohacking is the fusion of technology and rising health consciousness. Companies like Leal Health exemplify this, offering an AI-powered platform that connects patients and physicians to advanced cancer treatments worldwide. Leal provides instant access to precise care, supports patient-centric clinical trials, and delivers real-time analytics, bridging gaps in research and healthcare access.

Biohacking takes many forms, blending ancient practices with modern science. Sound therapy, used for millennia, is reimagined by Crystal Tones with their Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. These innovative instruments combine natural elements and science to stimulate the nervous system, balance energy, and promote cellular healing, enhancing relaxation, meditation, and overall well-being. As biohacking continues to bridge the gap from a niche subculture to mainstream wellness, the trend will evolve by incorporating more advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, genetic testing, and even bioengineered foods designed for optimal health. The idea of personalized medicine and customized health protocols will become increasingly normalized, driven by advancements in biotechnology.

For now, biohacking is accessible to anyone looking to optimize their physical and mental performance, whether through wearable devices, nutritional hacks, or advanced recovery techniques. As more people discover the benefits, it’s clear that biohacking will lead to a shift in how society views health and performance optimization.

Understanding Cancer Treatment Centers

Cancer treatment centers are specialized hospitals or clinics focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various types of cancer. These centers provide patients with state-of-the-art technology, highly skilled doctors, and a multidisciplinary approach to care, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other innovative treatments.

What sets cancer centers of america apart is their emphasis on personalized care. These centers tailor treatments to individual needs, ensuring that every patient receives the right treatment for their specific cancer type and stage. The goal is not only to treat the cancer but also to improve the overall quality of life for the patient.

Why Choose Cancer Treatment Centers in California?

California is home to some of the best cancer treatment centers, offering world-class facilities and expert teams. Patients seeking cancer care often choose California because of its advanced medical technology, cutting-edge research, and access to renowned specialists. The state’s leading cancer centers attract top-tier professionals who are pioneers in cancer research and treatment.

Another key factor is the holistic approach to care. Many cancer treatment centers in California focus not only on treating the disease but also on providing emotional support, rehabilitation, and nutritional counseling. This comprehensive care ensures that patients and their families are supported throughout their cancer journey.

The Role of Advanced Technology in Cancer Treatment

One of the critical aspects that sets cancer treatment centers of America in California apart is their integration of the latest technology in diagnosis and treatment. These centers utilize advanced imaging techniques, precision medicine, and robotic-assisted surgery to deliver highly effective and minimally invasive treatments.

Similarly, advancements in radiation therapy, such as proton therapy, provide more targeted treatment with fewer side effects compared to traditional radiation.

In addition, California cancer treatment centers are increasingly embracing immunotherapy, a revolutionary approach that boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer. This new class of cancer treatment has shown promising results in treating various types of cancer and is available in many of the state's leading centers.

Holistic and Personalized Care for Cancer Patients

Cancer centers of America focus not only on the medical aspect of cancer treatment but also on the emotional and psychological needs of their patients.

Furthermore, many centers provide integrative therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, and nutritional counseling. These therapies help manage symptoms like pain, fatigue, and nausea, often providing significant relief to patients undergoing aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy.

Personalized care extends to the treatment itself. Doctors take into account the patient’s specific type of cancer, genetic makeup, and overall health when formulating a treatment plan. This approach maximizes the chances of success while minimizing potential side effects.

The Importance of Multidisciplinary Teams

Effective cancer care often involves a multidisciplinary approach, andcancer treatment centers of America inCalifornia have mastered this method. This team-based approach involves various specialists working together to ensure the best outcomes for patients.

Clinical Trials and Cancer Research

California’scancer centers of America are at the forefront of cancer research and clinical trials. Many of these centers are affiliated with leading universities and research institutions, giving them access to the latest discoveries in cancer treatment.

Clinical trials are essential for advancing cancer care, and patients at California treatment centers often have the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge studies. These trials test new therapies, drugs, and treatment protocols that may offer better outcomes than existing options. By participating in these trials, patients not only gain access to innovative treatments but also contribute to the future of cancer care.

Seeking the Best Psychiatrist for Depression Treatment in Your State: Tips and Insights

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a rough day. It’s a serious mental health condition that affects millions of individuals across the United States. If you’re experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed, or difficulty concentrating, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are effective treatments available, and finding the right psychiatrist can make all the difference. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the process and seek the best care for depression treatment in your state.

Why Seek a Psychiatrist for Depression Treatment?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors specializing in mental health. They’re uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat depression through a combination of therapy, psychiatric medication management, and holistic approaches tailored to your needs. Unlike general practitioners, psychiatrists have in-depth knowledge of mental health disorders, which makes them the go-to professionals for managing complex conditions like depression.

How to Find the Right Psychiatrist in Your State

Searching for the best psychiatrist in your state doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here are some steps to guide you:

1. Identify Your Needs

Start by understanding your symptoms and treatment preferences. Are you looking for talk therapy, medication management, or a combination of both? This clarity will help you find a psychiatrist whose expertise aligns with your needs.

2. Seek Recommendations

Ask for recommendations from trusted sources, such as:

Your primary care doctor

Family or friends who’ve had positive experiences

Local support groups or online forums

3. Use Online Directories

Websites like Best Psychiatrist Network provide detailed directories of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists specializing in depression. You can filter results by location, specialization, and patient reviews.

4. Verify Credentials

Look for board-certified psychiatrists with experience in depression treatment and psychiatric medication management. Certification ensures they’ve met rigorous standards in the field of psychiatry.

5. Consider Accessibility

Choose a psychiatrist who is conveniently located or offers telehealth services. Telepsychiatry is especially helpful if you’re in a rural area or have a busy schedule.

6. Evaluate Compatibility

Schedule an initial consultation to determine if you feel comfortable with the psychiatrist. A strong doctor-patient relationship is crucial for effective treatment.

1. Build a Support System

Connect with friends, family, or support groups who understand what you’re going through. Having people to lean on can make a significant difference.

2. Prioritize Physical Health

Exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are vital for mental well-being. Even small changes can have a big impact on your mood.

3. Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, can help reduce stress and improve your emotional resilience.

4. Stay Consistent with Treatment

Whether it’s therapy or medication, consistency is key. Follow your psychiatrist’s recommendations and communicate openly about any concerns.

Final Thoughts

Finding the best psychiatrist for depression treatment in your state is a crucial step toward reclaiming your life. With the right professional, personalized care, and a commitment to your well-being, you can overcome depression and thrive.

Invisalign san diego ca

Concerns about how wearing metal braces might affect the appearance of their smile are among the most frequent ones that people have when considering the procedure. This is so because every part of an orthodontic appliance is made of metal. The idea of having to wear metal braces for years might be depressing for anyone contemplating orthodontic treatment. One can quickly see the benefits of Invisalign over traditional metal braces, including the substantial time and effort savings it provides.

Custom aligner trays are provided to Invisalign® patients. These trays are intended to restore a patient's teeth to their natural alignment. The dentist can create a fresh set of trays if the patient's teeth shift. Patients can choose the duration of their treatment because they can take out their Invisalign® aligner trays for brief occasions. The Invisalign® trademark is owned by Align Technology, Inc. Following their treatment with Invisalign®, patients have expressed great pleasure with both the procedure and the remarkable results they have achieved.

Invisalign san diego ca

The main advantage of Invisalign® over conventional metal braces is the aligner trays, which are removable and almost invisible. California Invisalign This is one area in which the two bracket systems diverge the most from one another. Both Invisalign® and conventional metal braces are quite successful in straightening teeth.

The following issues can typically be resolved with Invisalign®:

When there isn't enough room in the mouth for the teeth to line up properly, overcrowding happens. When a person's mouth is too tiny for their tooth count, gum disease and cavities are more prone to develop. Loss of teeth is an additional possibility.

Interdental spaces: This can occur for a number of causes, such as toothlessness or abnormally persistent jaw growth. A distinct theory looks on the long-term effects of improper jaw development. The main thing causing tension is how they interact with each other.

Crossbite is the term for the situation where one or more upper teeth bite into the lower teeth. This is the reason your upper teeth seem to be so widely spaced. Your dental arches can be affected, one or both. All of the teeth in the mouth could be impacted by this issue, or only one tooth. Uneven wear can result in health issues including gum disease and bone erosion in addition to the evident aesthetic concerns. Keeping gum disease at bay may also aid in the treatment of other conditions.

Overbite is the term for the situation where the upper teeth extend over or overlap the lower teeth. It's possible that the upward shift of your lower teeth is preventing the emerging of your higher teeth. This is also known as an overjet in some regions. Jaw pain is a common symptom of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).

When the lower teeth overlap or extend past the upper teeth, it results in an underbite, which is the opposite of an overbite. The lower teeth moving forward relative to the higher teeth could exacerbate the issue. An individual has an underbite when their lower teeth protrude more than their top teeth. It is possible to experience jaw and TMJ pain.

How did the Invisalign® creators make sure their invention wouldn't hurt patients?

Tooth misalignment can be fixed in a number of ways. If your teeth are slightly out of alignment, veneers can fix them without the need for braces or Invisalign® trays. Brackets made of metal and ceramic materials are still widely used nowadays. Many factors can influence how effective a treatment is, and sometimes one approach will work better than another. One thing that needs to be taken into account is the patient's present state of health.

Invisalign® aligner trays are removable at any time while receiving treatment, in contrast to braces. Physical appliances are often employed in orthodontic therapy. This data implies that in order to achieve the best outcomes, patients must be disciplined and committed to their therapy. Fortunately, this is rarely a problem because trays are typically pleasant to use and easy to conceal. Both treatments might have the same results if enough time and effort are put into them.

When it comes to straightening crooked teeth, many people believe Invisalign® to be better than veneers. By itself, this proves that Invisalign® is the greatest option. There are people who use veneers, but the market for Invisalign® is far bigger. Veneers are incredibly thin shells that are applied on teeth's front surfaces to improve their appearance. Your teeth's health and luster can be restored with veneers. Teeth appear whiter and more consistent in size and shape thanks to veneers' ability to hide flaws. The only way to safely remove dental veneers is by bleaching the teeth, which could have unfavorable long-term repercussions. This is because veneers require a small amount of tooth resizing. It is clear that veneers are not worth the cost due to their brittleness and discolouration after just 20 years. As a result, their lifespan is quite brief.

How may teeth that are not aligned be straightened using Invisalign®?

Prior to purchasing custom alignment trays, the dentist should have a treatment plan in place. After this is finished, we can proceed with the dental operations. A patient's jaw structure can be digitally reconstructed with the use of 3D imaging. Dentists may show patients what to anticipate from their new smiles by using these images. Advances in technology have made it possible for dentists to digitally modify patients' bite patterns and examine their jaws from every perspective. This technology may eventually match the appearance of Invisalign® trays.

Aligners and a personalized treatment plan can be developed once a patient has had any appropriate medical attention. Depending on how complex their arch is, a patient can need as few as two sets of aligners or as many as six.

Which factors should I focus on the most when using Invisalign® trays?

A few weeks may pass before you get used to the Invisalign® aligning trays. You must be ready for any eventuality. Unless the wearer is actively using them, the trays should always be kept attached. Before eating, take out the trays to help avoid cavities from food particles becoming stuck between them and your teeth. This issue can be avoided if the trays are removed before eating or drinking.

Long intervals between workouts won't hinder your improvement, so ease up. The trays will need to be taken out and replaced every two weeks. When Invisalign® aligning trays were introduced, the orthodontics business underwent a transformation. This assertion cannot be credibly refuted. Since Invisalign® is so successful and patient satisfaction so high, it has swiftly replaced traditional braces as the main method of teeth straightening.

Transforming Clinical Recording of Deep Brain Activity with a New Take on Sensor Manufacturing - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/transforming-clinical-recording-of-deep-brain-activity-with-a-new-take-on-sensor-manufacturing-technology-org/

Transforming Clinical Recording of Deep Brain Activity with a New Take on Sensor Manufacturing - Technology Org

Sensors built with a new manufacturing approach are capable of recording activity deep within the brain from large populations of individual neurons–with a resolution of as few as one or two neurons–in humans as well as a range of animal models, according to a study published in the issue of the journal Nature Communications.

The Integrated Electronics and Biointerfaces Laboratory (IEBL) at the University of California San Diego leads the research team.

The approach is unique in several ways. It relies on ultra-thin, flexible, and customizable probes made of clinical-grade materials and equipped with sensors that can record extremely localized brain signals. Because the probes are much smaller than today’s clinical sensors, they can be placed extremely close to one another, allowing for high-resolution sensing in specific areas at unprecedented depths within the brain.

These ultra-thin, flexible and customizable probes, are made of clinical-grade materials. Image credit: David Baillot/UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering

Currently, the probes can record with up to 128 channels, while today’s state-of-the-art clinical probes have only 8 to 16 channels. In future, the innovative manufacturing approach the researchers developed can expand the number of channels to thousands per probe, dramatically enhancing physicians’ ability to acquire, analyze and understand brain signals at a higher resolution.

This technology is a first step towards wireless monitoring of patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy for extended periods–up to 30 days–as they go about their daily lives. Beyond treatment-resistant epilepsy, the potential applications are much broader, including helping people with Parkinson’s disease, movement disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, obesity, treatment-resistant depression, high-impact chronic pain and other disorders.

While the Nature Communications paper reports brain-recording data only, the system has been developed to both record brain activity and provide electrical stimulation to precise locations. In fact, the team is building on previous – and ongoing – work that uses this scalable, thin-film manufacturing approach to create brain-computer interfaces that record activity and deliver therapeutic electrical stimulation to the surface of the brain cortex.

The probes are monolithic, meaning that their individual components are layered on top of one another to create a single, cohesive unit, and do not require manual assembly of additional wires to conduct recordings.

The new recording system is both extremely customizable and scalable to manufacture, thanks to thin-film technology derived from the semiconductor and digital-display screen industries. As such, the probes are extremely compact–15 micron thick, or about 1/5th the thickness of a human hair–minimizing the differences between the material properties of the probe and the brain.

“We developed an entirely different manufacturing method for thin-film electrodes that can reach deep brain structures – at a depth that is necessary for therapeutic reasons – enabling reproducible, customizable, and high-throughput production of electrodes but with a high spatial resolution and channel count despite a thinner electrode body. Additionally, the electrode insertion is compatible with existing surgical techniques in the operating room, lowering the barrier for their adoption in clinical procedures,” said UC San Diego electrical engineering professor Shadi Dayeh, the corresponding author on the new paper.

[embedded content]

The design, manufacture, experimental testing and analysis of results from this system was performed by a cross-disciplinary team of engineers, surgeons, and medical researchers from UC San Diego; Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital; and Oregon Health and Science University.

Dayeh advises two of the three first authors on the paper: UC San Diego postdoctoral researcher Keundong Lee and UC San Diego graduate student researcher Yun Goo Ro. Angelique C. Paulk, also a first author, is a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in a group led by neurologist Dr. Sydney Cash.

Toward a 30 day wireless brain-recording system

The kind of system researchers developed is needed in order to identify the very specific regions of the brain that are triggering seizures caused by treatment-resistant epilepsy. To meet this goal, the team is working toward their vision of a brain-monitoring system with sensors both inserted deep within the brain and sensors on the surface of the brain.

These sensors will communicate wirelessly with a small computer system in a wireless cap, which a person could wear for extended periods of time. This cap would provide wireless power and the computational infrastructure to capture the brain signals being recorded from a person’s brain for 30 days.

From left: Keundong Lee, a postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego, and one of the paper’s first authors, and Shadi Dayeh, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the paper’s corresponding author. They are looking at an electrode under the microscope.

“We are currently focused on applying the technology to patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy. The ultimate goal is to advance the system and related required technologies by 2026 to give patients access to a wireless system that allows them to move freely within the hospital environment and then at home, without being tethered to any machinery, while cortical and deep brain structures are monitored continuously for up to 30 days,” Dayeh said.

The system is called the UC San Diego Micro-stereo-electro-encephalography (µSEEG). The technology that is used to create the device can be manufactured at high volume and low cost because it is derived from existing technologies to manufacture digital display screens, an approach that was originally created by the semiconductor industry.

This unique manufacturing process also allows for a series of unique features for these depth electrodes (see sidebar).

Experimental subjects

The electrodes are equipped with 128 sensors that can record extremely localized brain signals and 16 stimulation contacts that can deliver clinical grade stimulation currents and that can additionally record brain signals.

In the new paper, the team reports the functioning of the new system in two human patients. The team also presents data from a series of different animal models including successful recordings from rat barrel cortex in both acute and chronic settings; recording of the somatosensory cortex in an anesthetized pig; and recordings in non-human primates at different depths inside the brain.

The data on the successful functioning of the device in humans were collected, with all proper approvals and consent, during already scheduled tumor-removal surgeries. During an unrelated pause in the surgery, clinicians inserted the new depth probes into brain tissue that was about to be removed.

“In a true test of the translational feasibility of the µSEEG,” the authors write in the Nature Communications paper, referring to the technical term for their device, “we acutely implanted short 64 channel µSEEG electrodes in the middle temporal gyrus in two separate human patient participants undergoing temporal lobe resection for clinical reasons. With each participant, we inserted a single 64 channel short µSEEG device into tissue, which the clinical team determined would be resected.” The recordings lasted 10 minutes and were able to record ongoing spontaneous activity.

Comments from authors on the paper

The electrodes can record brain activity as deep as 10 cm/4 in inside the brain. They are just 15 micron thick, or one-fifth the width of a human hair, and 1.2 millimeters wide

Dr. Keundong Lee (First author #1), Postdoctoral Fellow at IEBL, UC San Diego

It has been a long journey since 2015 to develop a robust, human-grade depth electrode that can be used in clinical practice. Finally, we have discovered an innovative manufacturing technique to create the µSEEG probe, which can assist with high resolution and minimally invasive diagnosis of epilepsy, and potentially treatment for epilepsy and other indications, in the future.

Beyond epilepsy, continuous monitoring of brain activity at such high resolution could allow us to find biomarkers for other conditions, including perhaps treatment-resistant depression.

Dr. Angelique Paulk (First author #2), Instructor in Neurology at Massachusetts General Research Institute and Harvard Medical School

Our lab has worked with the Dayeh lab for almost a decade to bring this innovative technology to fruition. Around 2018, we tested the laminar version of the UC San Diego microSEEG in two patients at MGH. Through iterative feedback that we and Drs. Sharona Ben-Haim, Ahmed Raslan, Mark Richardson, and Ziv Williams provided to inform probe fabrication, we are now happy with the end result that we feel is much closer to clinical use. We were excited to test the longer version in non-human primates here at MGH and to record the activity of single neurons with these devices.

Dr. Yun Goo Ro (First author #3), PhD graduate from the IEBL, UC San Diego

My research on this electrode was both exciting and challenging as we had to come up with new ways of implementing a scalable electrode with operating principles that are compatible with clinical use. It is very exciting to see my PhD research extended to long electrodes to maximize their clinical impact and I am proud to see the potential of my PhD inventions translate from the benchtop to the bedside.

Dr. Sydney Cash, MD, Professor of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

These new electrode systems are really exciting. They are designed in a way, which can be easily used in the clinical setting yet provide a level of resolution not seen before. There is no question in my mind that this will help us understand both normal brain function and pathology much better and will lead to new ways to help people suffering from epilepsy and a variety of other neurological problems.

Dr. Sharona Ben-Haim, MD, Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery, UC San Diego School of Medicine and Surgical Director of Epilepsy, UC San Diego Health

This new electrode technology is exciting for a large variety of reasons, including its capacity for recording at unprecedented resolution. The future ability of this system to record wirelessly from the brain of epilepsy patients undergoing intracranial EEG evaluation has the potential to dramatically change our current clinical practice. Currently, patients who undergo this type of evaluation remain in the hospital for the duration of the study, where we try to capture where their unique seizures originate during a period of time that typically lasts from 7-21 days. During this time patients are tethered to their hospital beds by the wired cords from the current clinical electrode system. This new technology has the capacity to potentially allow us to send these patients home, freeing them from a long hospital stay, and potentially allowing us to record for longer periods of time and obtain more robust information to help us ultimately treat their seizures with more precision and resolution than previously possible.

Dr. Eric Halgren, Professor of Radiology, Neurosciences, and Psychiatry, UC San Diego

With current electrodes we can only hear the roar of the crowd. The new electrodes will allow us to discern individual voices, and we can begin to learn their language, which is the basic vocabulary of thought.

Dr. Ahmed Raslan, MD, Professorand Vice Chair of Neurological Surgery, Oregon Health and Sciences University

The new depth electrodes combine two unique features: the much higher resolution of recording contacts combined with stimulation capability, which would improve our ability to understand -and potentially change/treat- neural circuits in parts of the brain that are not accessible by surface or penetrating interfaces and at a much higher resolution than current depth electrodes; a strategy that unlocks decades-long trade offs, and, the wireless connectivity which opens the door to recording from humans in an unrestricted environment allowing sampling of various types of behavior. This new electrode is a platform neural interface that can both read and write into the brain in experimental and clinical environments, as such the potential uses and applications are unlimited.

Features of the UC San Diego Micro-stereo-eletro-encephalography (µSEEG)

The probes can be up to 10 cm in length, allowing for access to structures deep within the brain.

The probes are incredibly thin: just 15 micron thick, or one-fifth the width of a human hair, and 1.2 millimeters wide

When inserted into brain tissue, the probe lined with sensors has a thickness that is smaller than technologies currently in clinical use. This smaller thickness means less brain tissue is damaged when the probe is inserted.

Brain-signal recording electrodes can be placed 60 micrometers apart, which is far closer to each other than technologies currently in clinical use.

Probes with up to 128 brain-signal-recording channels (electrodes) were demonstrated, compared to 8 to 16 recording channels in today’s broadly used clinical depth electrodes.

The small size of the electrodes allows for extremely localized brain-signal recording, as precise as the signal coming from the individual activity of one or two neurons. They can also record local field potentials, which is aggregate activity of many neurons within a brain region.

The electrode sensors are able to record precise areas of the brain over both short and long time periods.

The electrodes work well: they record brain activity triggered by stimulating a body part, and they record the brain dynamics known to occur during anesthesia.

The system allowed for simultaneous recording of the cortex of the brain and signals from individual neurons deep within the brain. The researchers were able to correlate the general brain activity to what was happening at the single-neuron level.

The system allows monitoring the dynamics of brain activity instantaneously, allowing visualization of the propagation of the activity across cortical layers with precision with time.

Cost-effective, scalable manufacturing of the new system is in direct contrast to the expensive and time-consuming manual assembly required for the systems currently in clinical use. All other known experimental depth electrodes require some amount of manual assembly as well.

Phenix Salon

From her early roots of sweeping hair from the floors of her parent’s salon, Gina attended beauty school and later moved to a booth renter salon where she quickly established a winning reputation. Clients loved her as she never let anyone leave without feeling amazing. And, the staff adored her because she was so open about sharing her knowledge and offering support where needed.

Based on her learnings behind the chair, Gina realized not all salons are created equal and a majority of booth renters are provided very little support to ensure their success. With a passion for the industry, Gina became a fierce advocate for supporting the goals of Lifestyle Professionals who had the desire to operate their own salons but perhaps lacked the financial resources. Gina realized that she had the opportunity to redefine the options available for sole proprietors in the beauty industry. With this, Phenix Salon Suites was born, establishing a new experience and opportunity for Lifestyle Professionals to own and operate a business at a fraction of the cost of traditional salon settings.
