Insights from Diane Shawe's Podcast.

Sometimes we have to start learning to pat ourseves on the back. We don't often stand back and see our achievements especially in times of great challenges.

I would like to introduce some nuggets that I have found useful when transitioning to the next stages of my journey.

There are several reasons why MCT oil may be beneficial when you’re trying to lose weight.

MCT oil has been shown to increase the release of two hormones that promote the feeling of fullness in the body: peptide YY and leptin. It may even be better than coconut oil in keeping you full. One study found that people taking two tablespoons of MCT oil as part of their breakfast ended up eating less food for lunch compared to those taking coconut oil.

Has there ever been more pressure to have a full and luscious head of hair?

Whether it’s dating app snaps, Instagram selfies, or even that corporate head shot on LinkedIn, maintaining a youthful appearance has become a critical feature of modern life. As more and more people suffer anxiety attacks at the sight of a mobile phone snapping their photo I decided to explore some of the underlying health problems that could contribute to hair losses. 

In the randomised study of over 2,000 women in the UK, more than one in five said they are suffering from hair loss or hair thinning. When you add in the number of women who have suffered from this in the past, the figure rises to almost 30 per cent.

A further 25 per cent who did not have the problem themselves knew friends or family who did.

The emotional toll can be devastating: many of those who the researchers spoke to described how they had begun to withdraw from everyday activities.

So let's take a look and see if you can alter our identify any of these signs.

The outcome of social oppression is that groups in society are sorted into different positions within the social hierarchies of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability. Those in the controlling, or dominant group, benefit from the oppression of other groups through heightened privileges relative to others, greater access to rights and resources, a better quality of life, and overall greater life chances. Those who experience the brunt of oppression have fewer rights, less access to resources, less political power, lower economic potential, worse health and higher mortality rates, and lower overall life chances
