  • Chernobyl and the Impact on Thyroid Health (in Bulgaria as well)
    Feb 1 2025

    In this episode of Fact Connect: Stories to Share, I dive into a deeply personal story that led me to question the long-term effects of the Chernobyl disaster. Back in 2010, I had thyroid surgery in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I noticed that the hospital was filled with patients of all ages facing similar thyroid issues. It made me wonder—could this be connected to the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl? I explore the science behind how radiation exposure, particularly iodine-131, affects the thyroid, the alarming rise in thyroid conditions after the disaster, and what experts say about its lingering impact. Join me as I connect the dots between history, health, and my own experience in this eye-opening episode.

  • Eagles, Myths, and Renewal: Soaring High with Surprising Truths
    Jan 25 2025

    In this episode of Fact Connect: Stories to Share, I dive into the fascinating world of eagles—those majestic creatures that soar through the skies with grace and power. What inspired me to pick this topic? Well, it all started when I stumbled upon two surprising bits of information online. One was a news article announcing that the bald eagle was recently declared the official national bird of the United States (yes, recently!), and the other was one of those viral inspirational videos claiming eagles go through a dramatic midlife renewal by breaking their beaks and plucking their feathers. Intriguing, right?

    Join me as I separate fact from fiction, uncover amazing truths about eagles, and explore their symbolic connection to renewal and resilience. Along the way, we’ll discuss how shedding what no longer serves us can help us soar higher in life. Whether you’re here for the fun facts, the psychology, or just a good story, this episode is packed with inspiration and insight.

    So, spread your wings and tune in—it’s time to take flight!
