Understanding Genetics
Every single living organism on the planet has DNA. This is a self-replicating material that passes on information from one organism to the next. Our bodies are made up of millions of genetic building blocks, otherwise known as base pairs, that make up our physical anatomy.

There are about 3 billion genome base pairs that make human beings about 99.9% similar to the other human strangers around us. However, recent research has uncovered the fact that our closest relatives, chimpanzees, are nearly 98.8% similar to humans genetically. In addition to this, cats are about 90% similar and even honey bees share 44% of DNA.

Genetic Similarities Between Animals
While chimpanzees and apes are the most genetically similar creatures to us as humans, other organisms also share a huge portion of our DNA. Below, we will go over a few of them.

Human beings share 99.9% of their DNA with all other human beings. This genetic material determines our eye color, our genetic predispositions, and our likelihood to inherit other critical traits. That being said, we also share an unexpected amount of DNA with many other creatures!

How much DNA do we share with cats?
Cats, for instance, are more like you and me than anyone would have guessed, say, 100 years ago. Perhaps that explains why some people display such fine feline-like tendencies such as laying out in the sun on a summer day. In 2007, a study found that felines share around 90% of their overall genetic material with homo sapiens. So the next time someone refers to their friend as a “cat person”, they may be more correct than they realize.

How much DNA do we share with Mice?
We’ve talked about cats, but what about mice? How much DNA could you possibly share with a mouse? Well, the answer is a whopping 85%! That’s more than most people realize, though it does help to explain why lab mice work so well for scientific research.

How much DNA do we share with pigs?
We’ve all heard the expression “pigging out.” Interestingly enough, human beings also share a huge amount of genetic material with pigs. Almost as much as we do with chimpanzees! The genetic DNA similarity between pigs and human beings is 98%. Interspecies organ transplant activities between humans and pigs have even taken place, called xenotransplants.

How much DNA do we share with chickens?
If you’ve ever been called a chicken (closest living relatives of Tyrannosaurus rex), chances are that someone in your life is probably just trying to pressure you into jumping into a lake or trying on an ugly sweater. That being said, you may be interested to know that humans and chickens share more than half of their DNA, around 60%.

How much DNA do we share with plants and insects?
We also share a shocking amount of DNA with plants and insects. We share 50% of our DNA with trees, 70% with slugs (gross), 44% with honey bees, and even 25% with daffodils.

How much DNA do we share with bananas?
We share around 60% of our DNA with bananas.

How much dna do we share with dogs?
Not as much as we might think at first. Only 84% of DNA we share. Less than cats and even pigs.

If you want to find your human DNA relatives, check out these articles: which is better 23andMe or Ancestry, and the best DNA tests on the market.

So there you have it! DNA similarities exist primarily because DNA is an influential chemical building block that makes up a huge portion of the genetic material shared by all living organisms. That being said, when you truly break things down, we are not so different after all! To learn more about DNA composition and inter-species similarities, click here.

60 to 70 million Americans suffer from some sort of digestive health issue. And four out of five women, about 80%, experience occasional irregularity.

The LiveActive Movement was just launched to help guide the millions of Americans who suffer from digestive health issues toward better gut health and overall health and wellness. A new lifestyle–based approach to feeling good inside and out, the LiveActive Movement is designed to help people keep up with their busy lifestyles and achieve digestive wellness by maintaining a healthy balance of good bacteria in the digestive system.

By joining the Movement, Americans can follow a tailored LiveActive Everyday Plan that includes tips on how they can do good things for their gut daily by incorporating regular exercise into their routine, choosing foods that promote gut health and making sure they get enough fluids each day.

Leslie Bonci, Director of Sports Medicine Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh, nutritionist for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins and Pirates and a registered dietitian, helped develop the LiveActive Everyday Plan and can explain the LiveActive Movement, as well as provide steps for tailored eating and fitness and lifestyle tips for bettering your digestive health and overall well-being. These steps include:

• Keep Things Moving. Maintaining a balanced routine of exercising, stretching and relaxing work with your body to help move things along.
• Incorporate gut-friendly foods — like those rich in probiotics and prebiotics — into your everyday diet. These items are getting easier and easier to find in common grocery stores across the nation — particularly in the dairy aisle. Items like cottage cheese and natural cheese snacks are now being packaged under the LiveActive name — an easy indicator of their digestive health benefits.
• Give yourself a Gut Check. Using online tools, like the ones at LiveActiveFoods.com, assess your current eating, exercise, and relaxation habits. All of these come into play when determining overall digestive health.

For women who’ve learned to be their own worst enemies, this in-your-face guide offers powerful tools to break free from the cultural messages that feed negative body image and stand in the way of women becoming their most authentic and radiant selves.

Have the women in your audience ever wondered what they could accomplish with the time they spend worrying about their body or appearance? In a society overwhelmed with messages of how women should be and appear, it’s easy for them to internalize these ideas and become their own harshest critics. It’s time for a change. It’s time to stop squashing women into painfully tight “should-be” boxes and celebrate their bodies for what they are—divine tools to reach our highest aspirations and experience the full fabulousness of life.

In this book, women find a practical program for healing body image dissatisfaction using a unique blend of wisdom—from yoga to Buddhism and Taoism to shamanism and more. Weaving the author’s own experiences with tools for putting lessons into action, this empowering book will help the audience examine their own thoughts and feelings about their bodies and learn how they affect the way you relate in and to the world.

With this unflinchingly direct and honest book, women will learn to release years of negative conditioning to see themselves as the fiercely authentic women they really are. It’s time for women to stop wasting time and energy hating their bodies and to start moving toward a life that celebrates their body’s unique strengths and capabilities for experiencing health, happiness, and true radiance.

In an interview on your program Erica can discuss:

The challenges she has faced with her own body image issues

How body image shapes mental health and wellness

The power of healthy body image on physical fitness and strength

The benefits of these sustainable lessons for maintaining a healthy body image

What the biggest obstacles are in women’s minds around loving their bodies

Some of the tools she speaks about in this book

How she brings her knowledge down to a practical level so every woman can understand

and much more!

“Your Body, Your Best Friend is the ultimate guide for how to feel amazing in your own skin. Erica skillfully inspires and prompts you to shed the habitual behaviors,
obsessive thoughts, and negative self-talk that can get in the way of compassion, love, and joy. She makes radical acceptance accessible.”
—Tasha Eichenseher, former brand director at Yoga Journal, and yoga teacher

“This book is everything! For a start, Erica reminds us that we are not alone in our body confusion. She teaches us why this has happened with smarts and clarity that allow us to feel smart, too. Then she empowers us through meditations, journaling, and sensory awakenings that help us find our way home again—home to our own, good bodies that are just the right size to hold all the love and pain and beauty of real life. I’m giving this book to all my women friends.”

Food for Thought From Mindy Gorman-Plutzer

Hi Paul,

The body holds much of the information we need to function at our best, but too often we ignore its messages and plow ahead with what our minds tell us. Perhaps because we’re not taught from early on to pay attention to, or trust, internal messages as well as external demands, we frequently ignore our body’s communications.

So we take another extra-strength aspirin rather than investigating what’s causing our head to ache. We use more caffeine or sugar to give us a lift when we feel tired, rather than hearing our body’s message about needing rest or recognizing our fatigue as an early symptom of burnout we’d do well to honor.

We fail to take into account the thousand little messages communicated to us by how we’re holding ourselves: the mouth that’s pinched and tight rather than relaxed. The fact that our shoulders are up around our ears, the knot of tension in our stomach as we promise to do something when closer consideration might tell us we are already over-extended.

These days we’re notorious for putting deadlines ahead of the protests of aching bones or inadequately nourished bellies. (Is there hidden wisdom in calling a due date a deadline in the first place?) Instead of asking our body what it wants, we go for the quick fill-up or the comfort food that may be the last thing we really need.

So what to do to give your body an equal say in how you use it?

Start with the breath. Breathing consciously is a major part of body awareness. Turn off thoughts and just let yourself experience the inflow and outflow of breath. Label them, “In. Out. In. Out.” Note how and where you are breathing or failing to, a clear sign something important is going on.

Allow yourself quiet time. Sit for ten minutes just observing yourself, even (especially!) in the middle of a busy day. Meditate. Take a walk or a nap. Allow time to do nothing. Soak in a hot tub rather than taking a quick shower.

Get a massage. It’s not self-indulgence to be massaged; it wakes up the whole nervous system and helps you tune in.

Use your journal to dialogue with your body. Ask your body how it’s feeling, what it wants, what’s going on. Give that healthy hunger or craving a voice and let it tell you what its message is. And practice listening!

Do a body inventory to relax. Start with your toes and work upwards. Scan your body from the inside. Or try tensing each part slightly, then relaxing it to release residual tension.

Practice mindfulness. Get used to tuning in to your physical self, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing.

Take a walk in Nature, barefoot. Research teaches that contact with the earth offers amazing health benefits including lowering stress levels, improving sleep and circadian rhythms and decreasing chronic pain, inflammation and fatigue.

Hungry for more? Schedule a complimentary Discovery call with me. During the call, we’ll discuss your biggest eating challenges and health concerns as well as answer your most pressing questions. The Discovery call in and of itself is an amazingly valuable opportunity – you’ll get clarity on how to confidently proceed on your health journey – and many of my clients have called it the single most impactful conversation they’ve had around their issue. Here’s the link to my calendar.

Breathe, Stay safe with love and care,

Mindy

Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than three months and can continue when the injury or illness has been treated. Chronic pain is a disabling condition that affects 100 million American adults every year, a number that keeps growing, which can negatively affect one’s wellbeing. Working, sleeping, or even seemingly simple tasks like walking up the stairs are activities that become harder if you’re living with chronic pain. In fact, chronic pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care and costs the nation approximately $560-635 billion annually in direct medical treatment costs and lost productivity.

Michael Fishman, MD, MBA, double board-certified anesthesiologist and Interventional Pain Medicine specialist and his patient Genevieve Watycha, who suffered for more than 30 years with chronic pain, will be available to discuss the journey of chronic back pain management, including how Genevieve finally managed her chronic back pain, which had previously prevented her from sleeping properly, walking long distances and going about her day-to-day activities.

Three tips that may be helpful in managing chronic pain:
• Mind-Body Therapies: Mind-body therapies are treatments that are meant to help the mind’s ability to affect the functions and symptoms of the body. Mind-body therapies use various approaches including relaxation techniques, exercise, meditation, guided imagery, and hypnosis. Relaxation techniques can help alleviate discomfort related to chronic pain.
• Manage your diet: Believe it or not, diet has an impact on a person’s ability to fight pain away. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods such as salmon or tuna, have been known to reduce inflammation. Yellow, orange, and red fruits/vegetables are from a group of phytochemicals known as carotenoids – which have also been known to help reduce inflammation.
• Talk to your doctor about treatment options: In the case that medication or lifestyle changes won’t fix or lessen your pain, it’s crucial to speak to your doctor about the latest treatment options. Your doctor may recommend a number of treatments, including pharmacological, relaxation and/or physical therapy, or DTM Spinal Cord Stimulation, to help alleviate the pain.
