  1. Photo by Ian Schneider on Unsplash For many people, coming out as LGBTQ+ is a defining moment that often happens early in their lives. However, for some, this significant event unfolds later, often after years of leading a seemingly conventional family-centric lifestyle. This late-life revelation carries with it unique challenges and implications, both emotionally and socially. The Struggles of Coming Out Late When a person decides to come out later in life, they typically face a web of intricacies tied to their established roles within their families and communities. These can range from renegotiating relationships with a spouse and children to facing potential alienation from long-standing social circles. The fear of losing cherished relationships or facing judgement can be daunting, For instance, defying the traditional expectations set by society and their personal circles, individuals like Phillip Schofield, a well-known TV presenter in the UK, came out as gay after nearly 27 years of marriage. This revelation was both liberative for Schofield and a moment of public discourse about the complexities of leading a closeted life within a heterosexual marriage. Celebrities Leading the Way High-profile stories can often provide both encouragement and a blueprint for others. When celebrities come out, they spark important conversations and help normalise the diversity of human experiences. Rick Welts, the influential NBA executive, came out at the age of 58, showcasing that it's never too late to embrace one's truth. Similarly, Barry Manilow shared his story publicly only in 2017 after a private struggle and a long career in the spotlight overshadowed by his personal life. Photo by Tim Marshall on Unsplash Cultural Safeguards and Acceptance For many, the choice of where to come out can significantly impact their experience. Countries like Thailand, known for its relatively open and accepting stance towards the LGBTQ+ community, can offer a more nurturing environment for coming out. Thailand hosts one of Asia's most vibrant LGBTQ+ scenes, with strong support networks and a notable public acceptance level, making it a favourable backdrop for late-life coming outs. The Path to Authenticity Choosing to come out later in life is a profound act of courage that deserves recognition and support. While the process can be fraught with emotional turbulence, it also opens up a path to live more authentically. Societal acceptance is crucial, and as more people share their stories, whether they are celebrities or not, it fosters a more understanding and inclusive culture. In a world that increasingly values authenticity, the stories of those who come out later in life remind us of the ongoing struggles many face in the quest to be themselves. They also underscore the transformative power of embracing one's identity at any stage of life. Could you imagine the complexity of balancing years, perhaps decades, of established personal bonds with the innate need to express your true self? How would you react if someone close to you came out later in their life? Could you provide them with the support and understanding they need during such a vulnerable time? As society continues to evolve, the importance of fostering comfortable spaces for everyone to express their true identities cannot be understated. Think about what you can do in your community or in your personal circles to promote a culture of acceptance and love. How can we, as a society, better support those who choose to come out, regardless of their stage in life.
  2. Image via Four Twenty Thailand Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a budtender at one of Thailand’s largest cannabis companies, Four Twenty, looks like? Working as a budtender at Four Twenty Thailand involves more than just selling products. It’s about creating an experience for customers. From assisting with product selection to providing expert advice on various strains and consumption methods, budtenders play a crucial role in helping customers make informed decisions. Let’s take a closer look at the daily duties and responsibilities of a Four Twenty budtender. Morning routine: Preparing for the day For a budtender at Four Twenty Thailand, the day starts early by getting everything ready for customers. The standard operating procedures play a crucial role in the dispensary’s daily routine. This includes checking inventory levels, organizing product displays, and reviewing any new strains or products that have arrived overnight. Hygiene is a top priority in the dispensary, with elite storage conditions maintained to preserve product quality. The team handles products carefully to ensure they reach consumers in perfect condition. With several hundred products available, from strains to edibles to paraphernalia, this can be a challenging task. However, the professional team makes sure stocks are up to date, in good conditions, and ready for customers to explore. Four Twenty boasts over 20 top-quality strains grown in their own farms. Each strain is carefully distributed to their dispensaries fresh from the farm to provide an exceptional product for their customers. These strains include popular options like The Runtz, Lucky Charms, Laughing Buddha, White Rozay, and Rozay Cake. In addition to cannabis products, they also offer a cozy lounging area with comfy sofas making sure it’s all clean and inviting for customers to kick back and relax. Giving the best customer service Four Twenty dispensaries across Thailand have different opening hours, but they generally open from 10.00 am. As the clock strikes opening time, the budtenders are all smiles and ready to help. With their friendly approach, they listen to customers’ needs and answer any questions they may have. Education is at the forefront of the customer experience at Four Twenty. They believe that an informed customer is an empowered customer. Armed with a wealth of information about different strains, their effects, and their therapeutic properties, the budtenders are ready to guide customers through their options. From indica to sativa and everything in between, budtenders explain the nuances of each strain, helping customers find the perfect match for their needs. In addition to answering customer inquiries and recommending top cannabis products, budtenders at Four Twenty play a crucial role in assisting customers, particularly newcomers to the cannabis scene. Their day-to-day responsibilities also involve educating customers on the various ways to enjoy cannabis and providing guidance on using cannabis paraphernalia effectively. Furthermore, they may offer support for those who are unfamiliar with rolling joints, stepping in to demonstrate and teach this essential skill. Staying informed on industry trends So, how do Four Twenty ensure all of their budtenders are knowledgeable? Well, since one of their main ambitions is to spread their knowledge about premium cannabis products, they prioritize extensive training. These dedicated staff members are educated on various cannabis products and strains to provide customers with accurate information and guidance. The cannabis industry, especially in Thailand, is always changing. It seems like there are new laws and regulations every day. Plus, there are many new studies showcasing the medicinal advantages of cannabis and hemp products. Therefore, budtenders at Four Twenty are consistently informed about the latest industry trends and developments. This means that their day may also be full of training sessions, reading publications, and attending workshops. Closing procedures: Wrapping up the day As the day at Four Twenty Legal Cannabis Dispensary in Bangkok comes to a close, the budtender begins the closing procedures to wrap up the day’s operations. Like opening, they need to follow a closing SOP so all products are properly organized and stored safely. Next, the budtender conducts a final check of the premises to see if all equipment is turned off and security measures are in place. Then, any remaining paperwork is completed, and any necessary notifications are sent to management regarding any issues or concerns from the day. Finally, after making sure that all tasks on the closing checklist have been completed, the budtenders lock up the dispensary for the night. If you want to see what a day is like at Four Twenty, be sure to stop by one of their locations. For more details, visit Four Twenty’s website or follow them on Facebook. Sponsored
  3. PHOTO: The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology Imagine buying an over-the-counter herbal supplement, only to end up with strange blue-grey patches on your skin. That’s the surprising and alarming reality for some users of kratom, a plant-based supplement gaining popularity for its opioid-like effects. Widely available in convenience stores, smoke shops, and online, kratom is now being linked to cases of hyperpigmentation, most notably on the face and hands. What is kratom? Kratom, a plant native to Southeast Asia, is commonly used for its analgesic properties. Often marketed as a ‘legal opioid’ or ‘legal high,’ it can be found in small containers of extract or as a powder. It was decriminalised in Thailand in 2021. People consume it in various ways: boiling the leaves into tea, smoking, chewing, or taking it in capsule form. Despite its widespread use, kratom is not regulated in the United States, leading many to believe it’s a safe herbal supplement. However, kratom has several side effects and can be addictive. Side effects and addiction risks Many users are unaware that kratom can cause drowsiness, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, respiratory issues, cardiac arrest, confusion, and hallucinations. The plant also affects the psyche differently depending on the dosage. At low doses, it acts as a stimulant, while at high doses, it has a calming, pain-relieving effect. Long-term high-dose users are at risk of developing hyperpigmentation, a condition where the skin darkens in sun-exposed areas. PHOTO: Food and Drug Law Institute Real-life cases of kratom-induced hyperpigmentation In recent years, there has been a significant increase in kratom use in the United States. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, around 1.7 million Americans aged 12 and older reported using kratom in the past year. One case involved a 54-year-old man who used kratom to reduce opioid use. Over four to five years, he developed diffuse hyperpigmented patches on his arms and face, sparing the knuckles. Another case detailed a 30-year-old man with no other medical conditions who presented with dark grey-blue skin on his cheeks, neck, and hands. This man started using kratom after becoming addicted to opioids following a high school injury. Despite stopping kratom use in May 2022, his skin discolouration remained for at least 16 months, raising concerns about whether the hyperpigmentation can ever fully regress. Doctors in Thailand have also recorded cases of skin hyperpigmentation among users of Kratom. The mystery behind kratom’s skin effects The exact mechanism by which kratom causes skin discolouration is still unclear. One theory suggests that increased dopamine levels from kratom use may stimulate melanocyte activity, leading to hyperpigmentation. Another possibility is that a melanin-drug complex forms and deposits in the skin. The discolouration typically appears in areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, hands, and arms. Potential treatments and precautions Currently, the best treatment for kratom-induced hyperpigmentation is to stop using the supplement. Some success has been seen with Q-switched laser treatments, which are used to treat other types of dark skin discolouration. However, it’s still uncertain how effective this method is for kratom-induced cases. PHOTO: Verywell Health Exercising caution Kratom is widely used and easily accessible, but its unregulated status means consumers should be cautious. The plant can cause a range of side effects, from cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and respiratory issues to nervous system problems. The mysterious and unsettling skin discolouration is yet another reason to think twice before using kratom. Looking ahead The rise in kratom use and its associated risks underscore the need for more research and better public awareness. Understanding why kratom causes hyperpigmentation and finding effective treatments are crucial next steps. For now, if you or someone you know is experiencing unusual skin discolouration and has been using kratom, it’s essential to seek medical advice and consider stopping the supplement. While kratom may seem like a harmless herbal remedy, its potential side effects are anything but. Users should be aware of the risks and exercise caution to avoid unexpected and possibly permanent changes to their health and appearance. No, Trudeau did not take Kratom for his blackface debut but taking Kratom might make you end up with such an outcome! Dr. Nikhil Prasad

  6. Image courtesy Pixabay "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius In today's fast-paced world, finding peace and contentment can feel like a distant dream. However, Marcus Aurelius reminds us that true happiness stems from within. By focusing on the present moment, we can alleviate the burden of worrying about the future. Controlling our thoughts and associated emotions is no easy task. It requires learning to exercise control, almost reprogramming how we think and feel. Through deliberate effort and practice, we can reassess what is truly important to us, gaining clarity and perspective along the way. "Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude." - Viktor Frankl Our own thoughts often become our worst enemies, leading to self-doubt and anxiety. Marcus Aurelius, in his "Meditations," encourages us to tame our minds, understanding that our inner dialogue shapes our reality. By embracing the here and now, we can overcome the paralysis of overthinking and take meaningful action. Enjoying the journey each day is paramount to reducing stress and worry. Rather than fixating on distant destinations, we learn to appreciate the beauty of the present moment. By silencing the inner voice of "what if" and second-guessing, we focus on the reality of now, finding fulfillment in life's simple pleasures. "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." - Henry Ford Simplifying our approach to life can bring about greater peace of mind. Letting go of the need to control every outcome allows us to embrace the beauty and possibility of each moment. As we cultivate mindfulness and gratitude, we discover that true happiness comes from within, regardless of external circumstances. Image courtesy of Unsplash Most of you here today have retired, having lived most of your life working hard and conforming to social expectations. Perhaps you've experienced marriages, raised children, and now find them leading their own lives. Now, as you've chosen to retire in Thailand, you may have thought, "It's time for me, not others." It's this aspect and thought process that this article aims to address. You cannot move forward if constantly looking behind. Make it about you now—live, love, be happy, and take control of your thoughts and actions. Enjoy the remainder of your life for you Retirement marks a significant milestone in life—a time to prioritize your own happiness and well-being. As you embrace this new chapter, remember that you hold the power to shape your own destiny. Let go of the burdens of the past, take control of your thoughts and actions, and seize the opportunity to live the remainder of your life on your own terms. By doing so, you open the door to a retirement filled with joy, purpose, and fulfilment.

  9. There’s something about those white South African guys that seems to make them much thicker-skinned than the rest of us. Perhaps it’s the fact that they live in a much more violent country than most, with South Africa’s crime rate being one of the highest in the world. Or maybe it’s because so many of them seem to work as mercenaries across the continent, taking on dangerous and high-stakes jobs that would make most people quiver in their shiny Timberlands! It’s known that much of the white-dominated armed forces of South Africa were left with little to do after the collapse of Apartheid, which resulted in a huge increase in private military recruitment. Given the volume of wars occurring across Africa in the 90’s, there was a real need for such highly trained military personnel, with companies like Executive Outcomes forming to supply the manpower. Whatever the reason, these guys are known for their toughness and resilience, and one such individual who in recent years gained international attention is Leo Prinsloo. His reputation proceeds him. If you’ve been asked to personally protect King Charles III, the Kardashians, and Nelson Mandela, you’re clearly no shrinking violet. Prinsloo is a former member of the South African Police Service’s elite Special Task Force, a unit that deals with high-risk operations such as hostage situations, counter-terrorism, and violent crime. The 52-year-old is also a tactical firearms instructor and the founder of the Edge Shooting Academy, which trains individuals in advanced shooting techniques. But it’s not his impressive resume that has people talking – it’s his incredible display of bravery and skill during an attempted heist that has earned him the title of “badass MF”! Attempted heist and Prinsloo’s heroics On April 22, 2021, Prinsloo was driving an armoured cash-in-transit Toyota Land Cruiser in Pretoria, South Africa, when he and his partner, Lloyd Mtombeni, were ambushed by a group of armed criminals. The attackers opened fire on the vehicle, attempting to force Prinsloo and Mtombeni to stop and hand over the mere US$100,000 worth of mobile phones they were transporting. But Prinsloo had other plans. As the AK47 bullets popped, Prinsloo remained calm and collected (despite his heart probably beating at 200 bps!), expertly manoeuvring the armoured vehicle to evade the attackers. He can be heard in the dashcam footage telling his partner to “phone Robbie, phone Josh” – presumably to call for backup – while continuing to drive and evade the criminals. At one point, Prinsloo even manages to ram one of the attacker’s vehicles off the road while maintaining his composure and focus. Eventually, the attackers realized they were no match for Prinsloo’s skill and determination and decided to flee the scene. Thanks to Prinsloo’s quick thinking and bravery, he and his partner were able to escape unharmed, and the cache of phones they were transporting remained safe. Public reaction and praise for Prinsloo Once the dashcam footage of the attempted heist went viral (more than 60 million views across a few videos), people worldwide were quick to praise Prinsloo for his incredible display of courage and skill. Many have called him a hero, while others have dubbed him a “badass MF” – a well-deserved title, considering the dangerous situation he faced and the calm, collected manner in which he handled it. Prinsloo’s actions have also shone a light on the dangers faced by those working in the cash-in-transit industry in South Africa. According to the Institute for Security Studies, cash-in-transit heists have been on the rise in recent years, with criminals becoming increasingly brazen and violent in their attempts to steal large sums of money. That, alongside their ability to bribe the security forces and local police. Prinsloo’s heroics serve as a reminder of the bravery and skill required by those who work in this high-risk field, and the importance of proper training and preparedness in the face of danger. Of course, the keyboard warriors (likely the same ones that would cry for pointing out Prinsloo’s race) were quick to put down Prinsloo’s partner, Lloyd Mtombeni – as if they’d have reacted better in such a situation. Mtombeni can be seen in a state of shock when it all kicks off, but he doesn’t panic and appears to remain incredibly calm, the exact behaviour required by Prinsloo, with whom Lloyd’s life was firmly in the hands of. How would you have reacted listening to the pops of AK47 bullets going off around you and you’re the target? What can we learn from Prinsloo? Prinsloo’s incredible display of courage, skill, and composure during the attempted heist is a testament to his training and experience as an elite Special Task Force member and a tactical firearms instructor. His actions serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of remaining calm and focused in high-pressure situations, and the value of proper training and preparedness. For those of us who may not face life-threatening situations ever in our lives, there are still valuable lessons to be learned from Prinsloo’s actions. His ability to stay calm under pressure, think quickly, and make decisive actions in the face of danger are qualities that can be applied to various aspects of our lives, whether it’s dealing with a difficult work situation or navigating a personal crisis. And, when you think you’ve had a bad day, just remember how much worse April 22, 2021, was for Prinsloo and Lloyd. Let’s not forget to mention the car/weapon that seriously contributed to the pair’s survival. That armoured Toyota Land Cruiser survived a dozen or so shots from close range, not to mention the other vehicles ramming it. So the next time you’re on a road trip through Afghanistan or Iraq, you know what car to rent! Is Prinsloo the bravest person you know of? It’s certainly possible, especially as Batman isn’t real! His incredible display of courage and skill during the attempted heist has earned him international praise and admiration, and his actions serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of remaining calm and focused in high-pressure situations. While most of us will never come close to the level of danger Prinsloo faced, his story can still inspire us to cultivate our resilience, determination, and ability to stay composed under pressure, whilst keeping everything in perspective.
  10. Recent research has unveiled a startling revelation: men with gynecomastia, a condition characterised by enlarged breast tissue not due to weight gain, face a significantly higher risk of early death. This study, published in the BMJ, offers crucial insights into the health implications of gynecomastia, affecting a large percentage of men at different stages of their lives. Understanding gynecomastia Gynecomastia is the medical term for the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, caused by an imbalance in sex hormones. Unlike “man boobs” or pseudo gynecomastia, which result from excess fat, gynecomastia involves glandular tissue growth. This condition is most common during three life stages: infancy, puberty, and older age. During these times, fluctuations in hormone levels can lead to the development of gynecomastia. Study highlights The Danish study analysed data from 23,429 men diagnosed with gynecomastia between 1995 and 2021, comparing them to a control group of 117,145 men without the condition. The findings were concerning: men with gynecomastia had a 37% higher risk of early death compared to those without the condition. PHOTO: Med Esthetiks Risk factors and associated diseases The study divided the men with gynecomastia into two groups: those with idiopathic gynecomastia (of unknown cause) and those with known risk factors or pre-existing conditions. The results showed that men with pre-existing conditions had a 75% higher risk of death, while those with idiopathic gynecomastia had a slightly elevated risk of 5%. Significant health risks were identified among men with gynecomastia, especially those with pre-existing conditions. These included: Cancer: A 74% increased risk Circulatory diseases: 61% increased risk Lung diseases: Doubling of the risk Digestive diseases: Fivefold increase in risk Interestingly, neurological diseases were associated with a 29% lower risk of death among men with gynecomastia. Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash Why this matters Gynecomastia itself is often considered a mild condition, but this study highlights its potential as a marker for more serious health issues. The link between gynecomastia and higher mortality rates suggests that underlying health problems, such as endocrine disorders or the side effects of medications, may be significant contributors. Managing gynecomastia If you or someone you know is affected by gynecomastia, it’s essential to understand the various treatment options available. Here are some common approaches: Addressing underlying health issues: Treating conditions like hormone imbalances, liver disease, or kidney problems can help manage gynecomastia. Medications: Drugs used to treat breast cancer, such as tamoxifen, can reduce symptoms. Testosterone therapy: For older men with low testosterone levels, hormone replacement therapy may be beneficial. Lifestyle changes: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and reducing intake of processed foods can help. Avoiding substances that may affect hormone levels, such as certain drugs and alcohol, is also recommended. Surgery: In cases where other treatments are ineffective, surgical options like liposuction or mastectomy can remove excess breast tissue. When to see a doctor Men who notice changes in their breast tissue, such as swelling, tenderness, or unusual nipple discharge, should consult a doctor. Early detection of underlying conditions can lead to more effective treatments and better health outcomes. Gynecomastia, while often dismissed as a cosmetic issue, can be a signal of serious health concerns. The recent study underscores the importance of medical evaluation and management for men with this condition. By understanding the risks and seeking appropriate treatment, men can improve their overall health and reduce the likelihood of early death. If you experience symptoms of gynecomastia, don’t hesitate to seek medical advice. Addressing the condition early can help uncover and treat any underlying health issues, potentially saving lives. Contact MyMediTravel if you need to get treated for gynecomastia. Dr. Nikhil Prasad
