Summary

The typewriter keyboard was invented in the 1800s. Today, the layout of the letters on a computer keyboard is essentially the same as it was back then. Maybe you have wondered why the order of the letters of the QWERTY keyboard hasn’t been changed in all that time. This episode begins with an explanation. https://www.cnet.com/news/a-brief-history-of-the-qwerty-keyboard/ You’ve heard of FOMO, right? It stands for “Fear of Missing Out” and it has become part of the language and experience for many people. FOMO causes a lot of worry and stress. Today there are so many choices – so many things we could do. Spending time worrying about what you didn’t choose to do doesn’t make much sense. Yet somehow the road not taken seems so attractive. Patrick McGinnis is the person who first coined the termed FOMO and he joins me to explore what it is and how best to deal with it. Patrick is author of the book Fear of Missing Out: Practical Decision-Making in a World of Overwhelming Choice (https://amzn.to/3kK0MQe) You have an immune system. That’s what fights off germs, viruses and illness so you don’t get sick. However, you may not understand how it works or what causes it to work better or worse. Jenna Macciochi is an MD with over 20 years of experience as a scientist researching the impact of lifestyle on the immune system. She is also author of the book Immunity: The Science of Staying Well (https://amzn.to/3kVHnMv). Listen as she explains how you can keep your immune system working at its peak. Is ketchup, ketchup? Goodness, no! There are actually different grades of ketchup and some brands are better than others. Listen as explain how ketchup is graded and who makes the ketchup for your favorite fast food restaurant. https://www.today.com/food/what-fancy-ketchup-it-actually-better-regular-ketchup-t144019 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
