You have talked about Kriya Yoga being a path for the tough people. Are there any women Kriya Yogis on the path? Women? Women Kriya Yogis on the path? There have been, but very few, because Kriya Yoga demands a certain extreme sense of discipline and perseverance at certain stages of its sadhana. Generally, it's not that it's not possible, but generally, women did not choose Kriya Yoga because they don't like that kind of hardship. It is not necessary that Kriya Yoga should mean hardship. No. But biologically, a woman is slightly disadvantaged when it comes to Kriya Yoga. Not essentially so. But to a certain extent, she is disadvantaged. But what I have seen and known is the general Kriya Yoga that was taught was mostly designed for a male because most of the practitioners were male. So generally, only men walked the path of Kriya Yoga because it involved a certain discipline and it involved a certain taking away from the normal situations of life which was not possible at all in this culture for a woman because by the time she was eight or nine, she was married. By the time she was fifteen, she had a child. So the question of she going into such atmospheres where which Kriya Yoga demands was not available. So traditionally, it got established like Kriya Yoga means it's for men only. Not because yoga is of that nature, because social conditions were of that nature. So all the practices that were designed and structured by various masters were all male-oriented because their disciples were male. Accordingly, they structured the processes. This does not mean no woman has walked Kriya Yoga path. But no many have, but they were a very small minority. So not too many practices were designed for them. But the systems that we have structured here are suitable for women also. They are doing well with their practices. So can a woman walk Kriya Yoga? Yes, she can, but if she wants to walk Kriya as a hundred percent path, she's slightly disadvantaged. She's come with a little handicap. So she needs little extra effort if she's willing to do that. It's always best if one wants to progress to mix all aspects of life to create a proper combination of these four dimensions of Gnana, Karma, Kriya and Bhakti. And in a woman generally, the emotional dimension in him or in her is more dominant than other dimensions. It's good to make use of that. Why give up an advantage and take up a handicapped position? It's better to make use of the advantages that she has.


What about dietary phytochemicals as a possible preventive and therapeutic option of uterine fibroids? Plant-based compounds with disease-preventive properties, found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, slippy chippies, lentils, herbs, spices, nuts, and certain beverages, the thought is, look, we know they can help regulate the initiation, promotion and spread of cancerous tumors. So what about benign tumors like fibroids? Most anti-cancer drugs on the market now, for example, were originally derived from plants or plant products. So why not try to use plants to target the inflammation or blood supply of fibroids? Might fibroids be a consequence of chronic inflammation within the body? Well, we know that women with fibroids are more likely to eat more beef and ham and fewer fruit and green vegetables, but whole plant foods don't just have anti-inflammatory effects, but antioxidant effects as well. When the amount of free radicals exceeds the protective effects of antioxidants, oxidative damage will occur, which has been implicated in a variety of disease states, including gynecological conditions such as fibroids. If you collect fresh fibroids, as well as normal uterine tissue from hysterectomy surgeries, the fibroid cells have significantly fewer antioxidant enzymes. So might antioxidant-rich foods help?  But what good does that do us? It's only relevant if we can show those strawberry compounds get absorbed through our gut and achieve high enough concentrations in uterine tissue, the same with curcumin, the component of the spice turmeric. One of its so-called miraculous properties is suppressing the growth of uterine fibroid cells. But again, that was just in vitro. Yes, an inhibitory effect was found and at concentrations that don't compromise the growth of normal, regular uterine tissue, but my patients are people, not Petri dishes. I mean it's neat to see what happens to human fibroid cells as you drip higher and higher concentrations of green tea compounds on them in a test tube. I care less about what happens in vitro or in mice, whether or not they have any close-on, but there were no randomized controlled clinical studies until now, or at least 2013. Subjects were randomized to green tea extract or placebo for four months. In the placebo group, fibroid volume increased 24%. That's what fibroids do. They continue to grow. However, those randomized to the green tea group showed a reduction in total fibroid volume, not just by a little, a dramatic decrease shrunk almost a third, a highly significant difference. Okay, but did the women feel any better? Yes, a dramatic decrease in symptom severity as well. In the placebo group, nothing much happened month after month, but in those taking the same looking pill that happened to contain green tea compounds inside, consistent improvement, with women feeling lessening symptoms each month better than the last. And with that, an improved health-related quality of life, month after month, significantly better than control. And their blood counts got better, too. The blood levels kept decreasing in the placebo group, with all that continued excess blood loss every month, but blood counts reversed in the green tea group. So anemia significantly improved because average blood flow significantly diminished. And all this, the fibroid shrinkage, less pain, appeared with no adverse effects. So not only comparable results than the drugs that are commonly used without the side effects, but comparable results to uterine artery embolization, where they try to cut the blood supply to the fibroid, which is great unless you accidentally cut the blood supply to the rest of the uterus and cause uterine necrosis, one of many reported major complications, which also includes death not only of the fibroid, but of the patient and other potential complications that may arise from accidentally clogging off non-target arteries. So a side-effect-free solution as good as a more invasive procedure is potentially better than in my book. They conclude that green tea compounds show promise as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for women with symptomatic fibroids. Such a simple, inexpensive, and relatively safe therapy could improve women's health globally. Now relatively safe doesn't mean risk-free, although there were no liver function abnormalities detected. This was a small study. If you give green tea extract pills to 1,000 women for a year, like they did in this breast cancer trial, and about 1 in 17 women, their liver started to get inflamed, a few of which became serious. Now the dose they used in this study was twice that of the fibroid study, and it's not completely clear if the pills were the only cause. But in general we should try to avoid extracts and get nutrition in foods as grown, or at least foods as grown dunked in hot water, like green tea.  So I don't think we should be taking green tea extract pills. We should drink green tea. The problem is that the dose they used was like 11 cups a day worth, which would be a lot of caffeine. But look, you could choose decaf, and it's not outside the realm of possibility to drink a couple of quarts of tea a day, especially if it's going to shrink your fibroid so much you can keep your uterus or something. Though look, for all we know, 5 cups of tea a day would work, or 3 cups, or 1 cup a day. No other dose has been tested. But you can test it in your own life if you have fibroids. It couldn't hurt to add a few cups of green tea to your daily diet and see if you start feeling better.


Let's get down business. All right. All right guys, it's time.  I've got a I've got a bit of a selection there. We're gonna watch We're gonna watch the 1985 Bears only they were one of the most intimidating Defenses or attacks.

We're gonna watch one from the NFL buddy Ryan's 46 defense 1985 bears. I'm not actually sure what what that's about and we're gonna watch the 1985 bears top 10 top 10 defenses of all time and We're gonna start with buddy Ryan's 46 defense. I'm not quite sure What it's about it says in the honor of late buddy Ryan Was he the coach? We take a look back at his revolutionary 46 defense in the 1985 Chicago Bears Buddy Ryan, who is that? Buddy Ryan 1931 to 2016 was an American football coach in the National Football League There is Hey, old buddy Hey, old buddy old power. We've got the same glasses We've got the same glasses Would you look at that? All right, so here was the coach.

Is that the 85 bears over there? Buddy Ryan created the 46 defense It was a complex scheme with a simple aim but tack the quarterback with overwhelming numbers Mike single Terry was the 1985 defensive player of the year and master of the 46 The 46 defense there is to make it very plain and to the point is all about pressure It is all about pressure We're gonna come at you and we're gonna hit your quarterback until you get another one in The quarterback first of all you have Otis and over next to each other that quarterbacks looking out of a guy Then you got them on the other side Then you got Hampton in front of you and then the fridge and then Steve McMichael in the fridge the fridge I've been told to look at a guy called the fridge. We're gonna do that next No one 45 Gary Fensic in 1985 We're gonna keep you guessing and we're gonna keep you thinking we're not ducking and docking We're gonna have fun because the 46 defense was as physical and as nasty As you want to get I watched I'm Marvel just like the people in the bleachers Those guys when they got on a roll like that it was working part is that season we're on it became It was everybody I Get up.

Oh geez so basically Don't worry about your lineman.  I'm pretty sure that at least one of them is gonna get there. Hey Hmm Ruthless man 350 pounds that's why you guys want me to watch him With a linebacker Otis Wilson was strong and incredibly athletic a very very good basketball player Wilbur Marshall gets like a bullet coming at you and he was ferocious and strong and I get that anything That they would throw at him on the line of scrimmage and then of course Mike simple Terry It was clear. We were watching a Hall of Famer. This is a Hall of Famer Building his career and it was it was magnificent. I like that You know a lot of people think Chicago is the best team of all time and it's because of the way that defense played in the playoffs Not the regular season That's what you want Looks like you've got about a second To a second and a half before you got to get rid of the ball or else this defense is gonna flassen you as the quarterback Would have been so good to watch Everyone would have been just watching the quarterback is waiting for him to be smashed Beautiful Phenomenal I think and Amarino exposed him when he's through the short passes quick releases getting rid of the ball Then it kind of broke up that one year just went Buddy Ryan went away the next year Followed by Wilson and Marshall But the members of that 85 defense will always remain You have your benchmark and that's that you find best for me I mean we talk a baseball defense. You got to start No matter how good the defenses are now the Ravens everybody they're compared to the 85 bears They were perfect defense at a perfect time in a perfect city and I mean that's why they remembered so fondly I think huh the 85 bears Um Actually, you know what let's let's just look up I want to know that that guy if the fridge is cool, so I'm gonna look him up next 1985 Chicago Bears Bears won 15 games and Won their first 12 before losing who made up the defense who made up the defense The defense was in attack from all angles scheme that resulted in arguably one of the greatest overall team defenses In league history with future Hall of Famer Mike Singletary Who's now a coach?

Novak Djokovic vs Holger Runa is a second match of the AWP finals for 2023. Both these guys are coming into the tournament with confidence. Holger Runa comes into this tournament as a number eight in the world. We'll be making his debut after last year missing out by one spot finishing number nine. His win-loss record this year is the worst out of anybody with only 43 wins and 22 losses but he has won a title this year and has made two big finals in both Monte Carlo and Rome along the way. His best win coming against Djokovic in Rome and his worst loss was against Nakashima a couple of weeks ago at the Shanghai Masters. His form lately has been a little better though making it to the quarter finals of Paris and the semi-finals of Basel in recent times and of course pushing Djokovic last week in Paris to nearly a three-hour match so he's starting to get into form just at the right time. Novak Djokovic comes into the AWP finals as the number one in the world and only needs one win to wrap up the year-end number one ranking for another time. His AWP finals record, his best results here have been winning the title on multiple occasions in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and we're coming in as the defending champion from last year's event winning it back in 2022. His record 51 wins five losses of course not playing that much due to not being allowed to play in America and also taking some time off after the US Open and his record has been six titles in one final with the only loss that he's had in a final being at Wimbledon two Elcaraz. His best win was beating Elcaraz in Cincinnati and of course beating Elcaraz at the French Open and his worst loss was against Lijewicz who was 70 in the world at the time in Bosnia during the clay court swing but he's got the best form of anybody coming in with no losses in his last 10 matches. In fact his last loss came at Wimbledon back in July. These guys have played four times or four with the head-head split down the middle 2-2 and of course who can forget the match they played last week in Paris being a three-set epic going to Djokovic but Runa had won their previous two matches and he's probably one of the only guys besides Elcaraz that consistently pushes Djokovic to the brink. Runa's going to win this one he needs to get off to a good start and be aggressive he got off to a good start against Djokovic in some respects he didn't win the first set but he needs to win the first set you feel like in this one if he is going to get Djokovic and catch him off guard a little bit if Djokovic is going to win this one he's going to have to get off to a good start as well. We know Djokovic for some reason last week in Paris in the first set he just felt like he was a little bit off in pretty much every match except for the first one and maybe the final as well so hopefully that stomach bug's gone and he can get off to a better start in this tournament in this match in particular what a great match just start off day one of the adb finals of course certified banger you know we've had this match played a few times and it's always guaranteed a banger but i'm going to have Djokovic in this one i think Runa playing his first adb finals might be a little nervous and i think Djokovic is over the troubles that he had last week and i think he's out to prove a point as well but let me know down the comments below who's going to win this first match
