"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Story at-a-glance Regular exercise significantly improves sleep quality and duration, with studies showing that even 30 minutes of daily activity increases sleep time by approximately 15 minutes for those with insomnia Exercise enhances sleep through multiple mechanisms including boosting melatonin production, reducing stress levels and regulating body temperature, making it a comprehensive natural solution to improve sleep Exercise timing matters, as nighttime workouts sometimes delay sleep onset, while midday to afternoon exercise is associated with lower mortality rates and improved cardiovascular health Exercise acts as a "zeitgeber" — an environmental cue that helps regulate your body's internal clock, playing a key role in coordinating sleep-wake cycles and various biological processes For optimal sleep, combine regular exercise with good sleep hygiene, including maintaining a dark bedroom, getting morning sunlight exposure and avoiding blue light before bedtime…
Story at-a-glance For more than a century, there has been a push to medicalize childbirth and transform it from a natural life event to something requiring major interventions so nothing goes amiss Many of the standard procedures done during hospital births increase your risk of needing other invasive interventions, eventually cascading into requiring a cesarean section Like other major abdominal surgeries, C-sections expose mothers to significant risk, require a prolonged recovery, and leave large scars which can cause a wide range of chronic issues C-sections also expose infants to real risks and predispose them to a variety of chronic autoimmune and neurological issues This Podcast will discuss the risks of C-sections, the situations where they are necessary, and some approaches that can be used to recover from them.…
Story at-a-glance Vertigo causes a spinning sensation different from general dizziness and typically stems from inner ear issues, including displaced crystals (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV), infections or fluid buildup Diagnosis involves tests like the Dix-Hallpike maneuver to determine if ear crystals are out of place Physical therapy, particularly vestibular rehabilitation, helps retrain your brain to compensate for balance issues, while the Epley maneuver repositions displaced ear crystals Natural remedies include vitamin D, ginkgo biloba, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, staying hydrated, managing stress and getting adequate sleep While vertigo is usually not dangerous, seek immediate medical attention if it's accompanied by severe headache, slurred speech, weakness or vision changes…
Story at-a-glance Digital eye strain affects 55% to 81% of screen users, causing blurred vision, tired eyes, headaches and neck pain due to extended exposure to digital devices Environmental factors like improper lighting, workspace setup and screen positioning contribute to eye strain and worsen symptoms Taking regular breaks and limiting screen time help reduce eye strain by resting eye muscles and normalizing blink rates Nutrition plays a key role in eye health, with anthocyanins from berries and carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) from egg yolks acting as natural blue light filters Digital strain extends beyond eyes to overall health, causing sleep disturbances, musculoskeletal issues and even skin conditions like "screen dermatitis"…
Story at-a-glance When cells become insulin resistant, they struggle to use glucose for energy, forcing your body to convert excess glucose into fructose through the sorbitol pathway — a "backup plan" that prevents immediate crisis but causes long-term damage Modern diets high in refined sugars and seed oils (like soybean and corn oil), combined with exposure to environmental toxins and plastics, have led to an estimated 99% of Americans having some degree of insulin resistance The HOMA-IR blood test provides an early warning for insulin resistance, with scores above 1.0 indicating potential metabolic issues that should be addressed through lifestyle changes Contrary to popular belief, white rice may be healthier than brown rice for people with insulin resistance, as brown rice's fiber can feed harmful gut bacteria and its higher omega-6 content can promote inflammation Your body requires around 200 to 250 grams of carbohydrates daily, and severely restricting carbs can trigger stress hormones like cortisol that break down muscle tissue to create glucose…
Story at-a-glance Nail growth slows by 50% over a lifetime, making it a reliable indicator of overall aging and metabolic health Aging nails become brittle, thickened, and dull due to changes in keratin structure, decreased blood circulation and nutritional deficiencies If you have poor circulation or a metabolic issue like hypothyroidism, your nails start to grow slower, develop ridges, and lose the visible half-moon shape at the base, called the lunula. When the lunula fades or disappears, it can be a sign that your body isn’t getting enough nutrients or oxygen to support healthy nail growth Nutrients like collagen, biotin and iron are essential for maintaining strong, healthy nails and preventing structural damage Lifestyle choices such as minimizing vegetable oils from ultraprocessed foods, increasing carbohydrate intake and improving blood flow to the extremities significantly enhance nail health and slow signs of aging…
Story at-a-glance Women with moderate triclosan exposure face up to 2.33 times greater breast cancer risk Triclosan, found in 75% of Americans' urine, is readily absorbed through skin and commonly appears in antibacterial products, cosmetics and even clothing, making its way into blood, breast milk and the food chain Exposure to environmental chemicals like DDT, dioxins and BPA during pregnancy, infancy or puberty significantly increases breast cancer risk decades later by disrupting normal development A 2023 study reveals triclosan's cancer-promoting mechanisms, showing it increases oxidative stress that damages cells and affects telomere length, both of which contribute to breast cancer development Simple preventive steps include avoiding antimicrobial products, choosing organic produce, improving indoor air quality and carefully scrutinizing personal care product ingredients to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals…
Story at-a-glance Photobiomodulation therapy utilizes specific light wavelengths — including 660 nanometers (nm), 850 nm and 1,050 nm — to stimulate biological processes, each offering unique tissue penetration and therapeutic benefits The optical window (600 to 1,100 nm) allows effective light penetration into tissues by avoiding absorption from hemoglobin, melanin and water, optimizing PBM efficacy Red light at 660 nm enhances skin health, collagen production and wound healing, reduces neuropathic pain and boosts cellular energy (ATP), ideal for dermatology and wound-healing applications Near-infrared light at 850 nm penetrates deeper, aiding muscle recovery and pain management, reducing inflammation and improving skin complexion, suitable for sports medicine and rehabilitation Light at 1,050 nm reaches deep tissues and brain structures, supporting cognitive function, brain health, ophthalmic uses, stroke recovery and detoxification processes…
Story at-a-glance Long-term intermittent fasting disrupts insulin production in adolescents, which leads to poor blood sugar regulation and increased metabolic risks in adolescence Fasting reduces beta-cell maturity in young people, making it harder for their young bodies to regulate glucose properly Adolescents experience insulin decline from fasting, which mimics patterns seen in Type 1 diabetes Instead of long-term fasting, it’s best for young people to focus on consuming regular, balanced meals. Getting the right nourishment supports their metabolic stability and prevents insulin resistance Healthy lifestyle choices that protect beta-cell function include avoiding seed oils, optimizing gut health, and getting daily sun exposure…
Story at-a-glance Lemons are packed with nutrients like vitamin C, minerals and flavonoids that support immune function, digestion and provide powerful antioxidant benefits for overall health Hot lemon water improves digestion by increasing gastric acid, enhancing intestinal motility and supporting gut microbiota through its natural citrus compounds One way drinking lemon water boosts immune health is through its vitamin C content, which enhances lymphocyte function, improves pathogen elimination and supports your body's natural defense mechanisms Hot lemon water aids in weight loss by promoting fullness, reducing calorie intake, supporting metabolism and replacing high-calorie sugary drinks Lemon water supports your body's natural detoxification processes by acting as a mild diuretic, providing antioxidant support and helping maintain liver and kidney function…
Story at-a-glance First trimester vitamin D levels significantly affect baby length and preterm birth risk, with every 10 nmol/L increase in maternal vitamin D corresponding to measurable increases in fetal length Pregnant women with severe vitamin D deficiency (below 10 ng/mL) face nearly eight times higher risk of preterm birth and more than four times greater risk of developmental delays in their children Vitamin D triggers production of natural antimicrobial substances that help protect against infections that could lead to preterm birth Vitamin D plays a role in placental blood vessel development and helps control inflammation during pregnancy, directly impacting fetal brain development and overall pregnancy health Strategic sun exposure is the optimal way to boost vitamin D, but care must be taken with timing and duration, especially for those consuming seed oils, which increase UV sensitivity…
Story at-a-glance Between 50 million and 70 million Americans struggle with sleep disorders, and 8.4% of adults take sleep medications regularly. The rate rises with age, reaching 11.9% among those 65 and older Your brain has a cleaning mechanism called the glymphatic system, which flushes out harmful toxins during deep sleep, including beta-amyloids and tau proteins linked to neurodegeneration A 2025 study found sleeping pills suppress norepinephrine oscillations. This impairs the glymphatic system's waste removal function and causes toxin buildup in the brain Sleeping pills increase risks of falls, car accidents and workplace injuries. Long-term use is also linked to higher mortality, cancer risk and cognitive decline Instead of taking sleeping pills, address the root cause of your sleeplessness through the strategies outlined below…
