Bipolar Disorder: Causes IDed

Dr. William Walsh, founder of the Walsh Research Institute, joins the program to share groundbreaking findings on Bipolar Disorder. His latest research not only identifies the source of the disease but also offers solutions for people to overcome it. He has a new book, called The Essence of Bipolar Disorder, that you can pre-order at https://walshinstitute.org

We also dive into his fascinating career working on top-secret government programs. He contributed to the development of the hydrogen bomb, spent time with hardened criminals, and served as the original patent holder of the lithium battery — which, because he worked for the government, earned him just a $50 check and a thank-you letter. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.

Hollywood’s Emaciated Stars

How come so many Hollywood stars have aged so horribly? And why are those suffering from blatant Trump derangement syndrome seemingly the worst looking of the lot?

Take a gander at Kathy Griffin. Or George Lopez, who now looks like a Trailer Trash version of Saddam Hussein. And, in case you’re not convinced, have you noticed how haggard Ellen DeGeneres has appeared since she fled to Great Britain?

But the acid test is George Clooney. He’s on Broadway these days, but he’s a shallow wreck of what he used to be — slumped over, sketchy, his clothes falling off his nerdy frame. What could possibly account for so many celebrities nosediving like this?  You do have to wonder. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

Chasing Eternal Youth

Aging isn’t as universally a fact of life as we think. Naked mole rats, lobsters and rock fish, for instance, seem to stay forever young, or at least middle-aged. Says Henry Reich of MinuteEarth, “Their anti-aging secret may have to do with their ability to rebuild the DNA caps on their chromosomes. These caps, called telomeres, are one line of defense in many species.” But all these critters, including humans of course, will ultimately meet their end, because it’s possible to be immune to aging but not to death.

Carry On, Doctor Blackburn

In this edition of the SciShow, Hank Green profiles Elizabeth Blackburn, the Australian Nobel Prize-winning scientist who is one of only 16 women to receive the coveted award over the last century. Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Blackburn has specialized in studying the process of aging at the genetic level, most recently at the University of California at San Francisco. Along with two other colleagues, she discovered an enzyme called telomerase that helps to protect our chromosomes from damage. For her efforts, she won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Oxygen Is Killing You

Without oxygen, we’d all be toast. But while it’s an essential element to life, oxygen does cause internal degradation in our bodies. One of the more common effects, called oxidative stress, is believed to contribute to aging. Oxidative stress is similar to the rust you see in metals, a process also unleashed when the metals come in contact with oxygen. Hank Green explains what’s afoot with the Big “O,” and we’re not talking about Obama, in this case. H/T SciShow
