Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.

Hi.

Hey, if you're a regular listener to Something You Should Know, but not yet a follower on whatever platform you listen on, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, TuneIn, CastBox, wherever you listen, I invite you to do so.

You know, with three episodes a week, that's a lot for you to keep track of.

And if you become a follower, then those episodes get sent right to you when they're available and you don't have to remember to come back and listen.

First up today, you know, it's natural for people like you and me to worry and get preoccupied with life and death and the state of the world from time to time.

And research suggests that if that happens, taking Tylenol might help if you're feeling consumed with doom.

That's because feelings of distress and physical pain are both rooted in the same area of the brain.

Acetaminophen, Tylenol, numbs that region and can help to relieve anxiety or feelings of dread in much the same way as it reduces pain.

While popping a pill is not going to solve the problem, it can take the edge off so you can think more efficiently and face the problem head on.
