HEALTH NEWS   Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women     Berberine Shows Beneficial Effects on Metabolic Health, Study Reports Peking Union Medical College (China), July 24 2026 (Natural News)     A review published in the journal Molecules has summarized evidence indicating that berberine, a compound found in several plants, may influence glucose and lipid metabolism. According to the review, berberine has been associated with improvements in metabolic health markers across multiple studies. The compound is a yellow alkaloid extracted from plants such as European barberry, goldenseal, goldthread, Oregon grape, and tree turmeric. The review cited evidence that berberine may reduce blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity, according to clinical trials. A systematic review of seven randomized clinical trials from China published in Nutrients revealed that berberine consistently alters the composition of gut bacteria in patients taking the supplement, and the analysis examined data across conditions including Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and colorectal adenoma. Lipid panel improvements, including lower total cholesterol and triglycerides, were also reported in the reviewed studies.   Cooperation beats selfishness more often than scientists thought Hebrew University of Jerusalem & Rutgers University, July 20 2026 (Eureaklert)  For decades, one of the most influential ideas in evolutionary biology has suggested that when individuals act purely in their own self-interest, cooperation should eventually collapse. But a new study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rutgers University demonstrates that evolution may be far more optimistic than previously believed. Their findings reveal that cooperation does not require close family ties, reputation, repeated favors, or rigid social structures. Instead, cooperation can flourish simply because individuals respond differently to different opponents. The research proposes a new solution to one of biology's oldest puzzles: how cooperation survives in a world shaped by natural selection. Using mathematical models, evolutionary simulations, and populations of artificial intelligence agents, the researchers found that cooperation consistently evolved when individuals adjusted their willingness to cooperate according to whom they encountered. Rather than treating everyone identically, simple opponent-specific responses created stable communities in which cooperative behavior repeatedly outperformed purely selfish strategies. Perhaps the study's most surprising finding is that cooperative societies are not fragile exceptions. Across thousands of simulations, populations repeatedly evolved toward highly cooperative states, while purely selfish populations often failed to dominate. Even when mutations introduced new defectors, cooperative communities remained remarkably resilient.   Sleep Disorders Don't Just Exhaust You. New Research Shows They Change Your Brain Florida International University, July 26, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A poor night's sleep can affect far more than energy the next day. Research from Florida International University links sleep disorders with structural differences in brain regions that help control attention, motivation and decision-making. Published in the journal Scientific Reports, the findings provide one of the broadest comparisons yet of how different sleep disorders are associated with the brain.  The researchers compared two broad categories. Dyssomnias, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, interfere with falling asleep or remaining asleep. Parasomnias, including sleepwalking, nightmare disorder and sleep terrors, involve unusual events that disrupt the sleep cycle. Both categories were associated with decreases in the thalamus, a region that filters incoming information, supports concentration, and contributes to higher-level thinking. The researchers identified changes specifically in the pulvinar, an area within the thalamus that directs attention and helps manage cognitive control. These differences were connected with wider brain networks that support concentration and task performance. That pattern may help explain why disrupted sleep is associated with slower reactions, poorer decision-making and a greater likelihood of errors and accidents.   Two Hours of Strength Training Weekly Linked to Lower Heart Attack Risk in Women, Study Finds Harvard School of Public Health, July 26 2026 (Natural News) A large-scale study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that women who engage in regular strength training have a significantly lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The study examined data from 117,025 women over an average follow-up period of 14.5 years.   Women who performed any amount of resistance training had a lower risk of cardiovascular events compared with those who did none. The association persisted after adjusting for overall lifestyle and health factors, the study stated.  Among the study's specific findings, women who performed at least two hours of resistance training per week had a 44% lower risk of heart attack relative to women who did no resistance training, the report said. Any cardiovascular disease risk was 20% lower for that group, with an additional 5% reduction per extra hour of weekly resistance training, according to the study. The benefits of strength training were more pronounced among women who maintained resistance training consistently and trained both upper and lower body, according to the study. Adding strength training to regular aerobic exercise – such as walking or running – was linked to better heart health.   Planetary Health Diet lowers cardiovascular risk in older women University of Caliornia at Irvine, July 25 2026 (News-Medical) A 20-year study of more than 65,000 postmenopausal women found that higher adherence to the Planetary Health Diet was associated with a lower risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure. The findings showed that women whose diet most closely followed the Planetary Health Diet had about a 28% lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with women in the group scoring the lowest for adherence. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was linked with lower risk. The Planetary Health Diet emphasizes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and unsaturated fats while limiting foods such as red and processed meats, added sugars, refined grains and saturated fats. The investigators followed 66,892 participants in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).  Overall, the results showed that women in the group whose diets were more closely aligned with the Planetary Health Diet had the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease. These women also showed a decreased risk of heart disease, heart failure and stroke risk compared to the women in the lowest-adherence group. However, even moderate adherence to the diet was associated with a decrease in risk, with each 10-point increase in Planetary Health Diet Index score linked to further risk reduction.

Episode 3476: Dr. Neal Malik answers a listener's question about whether saunas and cold showers are worth prioritizing for better health and longevity, separating popular claims from what the research actually supports. He explains why traditional steam saunas appear to offer cardiovascular and other health benefits for many people, while the current evidence for cold water immersion is much weaker and may even suggest potential downsides. Quotes to ponder: "When we spend time in the environments I just described or really when we're exposed to a lot of heat our bodies respond by dilating our blood vessels which means the inner lining of our blood vessels get bigger." "Some researchers have found that regular use of saunas may decrease pain levels in those experiencing chronic pain like those that suffer from arthritis." "The reason you hear so much about the benefits of antioxidants is because they help our bodies get rid of free radicals."

Contributor; Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Thoracotomy  Thoracotomy is used in traumatic cardiac arrest to replace conventional CPR with direct access to the chest. Goals include identifying and controlling reversible causes of bleeding, prioritizing blood flow to the heart and brain, and performing open cardiac massage. Trauma categories Penetrating trauma: Gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Has a higher chance of survival because the injury may be localized and directly repairable. Cardiac stab wounds may have the highest survivability because the defect can be visualized, repaired, and treated with blood administration. Blunt trauma: Motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Has a much lower chance of survival. Western guidelines EMS must witness the patient lose pulses. Penetrating trauma: CPR for less than 15 minutes. Blunt trauma: CPR for less than 10 minutes. Survival decreases to essentially zero beyond these time limits. Eastern guidelines Focus on the presence of signs of life in blunt or penetrating trauma. Signs of life may include: Pupillary response. Measurable blood pressure. Purposeful movement. Patient selection Thoracotomy should only be performed when the patient has a reasonable chance of survival. It is a highly morbid procedure with significant occupational risks, including needlestick injury. Appropriate patient selection and timing are essential. Procedure Begin on the left side of the chest. Cross-clamp the aorta to restrict blood flow below the heart and prioritize circulation to the heart and brain. Identify and repair visible sources of bleeding involving structures such as the heart or lungs. Perform open cardiac massage as the equivalent of CPR. ACLS medications may still be administered.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Alex to break down a hot-off-the-press retrospective study from the Journal of the American College of Surgeons titled “Challenging Legacy Burn Resuscitation Paradigms with Fluid Restriction and Early Plasma.”They dismantle the decades-old “swell to get well” mentality and the classic Parkland formula that has led to dangerous fluid overload, massive edema, and compartment syndromes in burn patients. Instead, they explore a more physiologic approach using lower crystalloid volumes (starting at 2 mL/kg adjusted body weight) plus early fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for patients with larger burns.Key Takeaways:The Parkland formula (4 mL/kg/%TBSA) frequently causes massive over-resuscitation; the new restrictive approach delivered significantly less fluid while maintaining (and often improving) urine output.Capillary leak from glycocalyx damage is the real enemy in burn shock — plasma helps restore oncotic pressure and may reduce third-spacing.Titrate everything to urine output (target 0.3–0.5 mL/kg/hr). Formulas are only a starting point.Use adjusted body weight (ideal body weight + 0.4 × [actual – ideal]) instead of actual body weight for fluid calculations.Early plasma (1–2 units for >30% TBSA) showed a strong signal toward lower mortality, less ventilator days, and reduced renal failure in this study.The Joint Trauma System (JTS) Burn Care CPG still emphasizes early consultation with a burn center — phone a friend early.This approach has direct application for prolonged field care and austere environments, though the study is retrospective and should be implemented thoughtfully.Whether you're a special operations medic, flight paramedic, or managing burns in a resource-limited setting, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about burn shock resuscitation.Resources:prolongedfieldcare.org (free downloads, worksheets & more)Follow @prolonged_field_care on InstagramJTS Burn Care CPG (CPG #12) – includes the excellent burn resuscitation worksheetChapters: 00:00 – Introduction: Why Burn Care Still Terrifies Experienced Medics03:09 – The Horrifying Reality of Over-Resuscitation (Edema Photos & Leaky Pipe Analogy)05:30 – Understanding the Glycocalyx and Why Crystalloid Leaks So Fast09:05 – The One-Third Rule Myth & Why Fluids Disappear in Sick Burn Patients11:14 – Parkland Formula Breakdown: History, Math & Its Biggest Flaw13:00 – The New Study: PICO, Methods & the Shift to 2 mL/kg + Early Plasma16:54 – Elevator Pitch: What This Paper Actually Found20:06 – Primary Results: Dramatically Less Fluid with the Restrictive Protocol21:24 – Urine Output Reality Check: Why the “Less Fluid” Group Still Hit Targets24:23 – Practical Protocol Breakdown: Who Gets 2 mL vs 3 mL + When to Give Plasma25:30 – Adjusted Body Weight Calculation Explained (and Why It Matters)27:26 – Titration to Urine Output is King – Stop Chasing Vitals29:55 – Dennis Rates the Evidence on the PFC Gestalt Scale30:38 – Why Plasma Makes Physiologic Sense (and Whole Blood May Be Next)35:30 – Study Limitations & Provider Bias Discussion37:30 – Can We Implement This in Prolonged Field Care Right Now?38:38 – JTS Burn Care CPG: The Burn Center Contact You Need to Save42:53 – Final Advice: Titrate Aggressively, Phone a Friend Early, Close the GapFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

There's no shortage of health advice these days—but more information doesn't always lead to better results.Every day we're told to try a new diet, buy another supplement, follow the latest trend, or completely change the way we eat. The problem isn't that all of the advice is wrong. It's that most of it is just noise.In this episode, I break down one of the most important lessons I've learned on my own health journey: how to separate the signal from the noise. We also explore what decades of research on successful weight maintenance reveal about the habits that actually move the needle—and why consistency will always beat perfection.In this episode: What "signal vs. noise" means for your health  Why more information isn't always the answer  The common habits of people who lose weight and keep it off  Why quick recovery is more important than perfect consistency  How to stop letting one off-plan meal turn into weeks off track  The role of nutrition, movement, sleep, and self-monitoring  Why focusing on the fundamentals leads to lasting success Key Takeaways: Prioritize nutritious foods most of the time.  Move your body consistently.  Pay attention to your habits without becoming obsessive.  Protect your sleep and recovery.  When life happens, get back to your routine as quickly as possible. You don't need another diet, another supplement, or another health hack.You need a better filter.When you learn to tune out the noise and focus on the habits that truly matter, sustainable health becomes much simpler.References National Weight Control Registry.

What Your Mammogram Is Missing, And the Technology That Changes Everything Linda Creed wrote The Greatest Love of All. She wrote it in 1977, and when Whitney Houston released it in 1986 it spent fourteen weeks at the top of the charts. One month after it hit number one, Linda died of metastatic breast cancer. She was Dr. Jenn Simmons' hero. And that loss became the reason Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon — and eventually, the reason she walked away from conventional oncology entirely. Because what she found inside that system wasn't healing. It was pattern recognition, symptom suppression, and a mammography screening program that the American College of Physicians now says offers no survival benefit at any age. In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, for one of the most important conversations in the show's history. They cover what mammograms actually do and don't do, why thermograms are being misused, why stage zero is not cancer, why bioidentical hormones do not cause breast cancer and may actually be protective, and the FDA-cleared technology Dr. Jenn has built that screens for breast cancer without pain, compression, or radiation — with forty times the resolution of MRI. Every woman needs to hear this episode. And so does every clinician still telling women they can't have hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis. What you'll discover: The story of Linda Creed, writer of The Greatest Love of All, and how her death from metastatic breast cancer became Dr. Jenn's life mission [01:53] What the American College of Physicians published in April 2026 about mammogram screening — and why it confirms what integrative medicine has been saying for years [around 20:00] The mammogram math: screen 2,000 women for ten years, potentially extend one life, diagnose ten with cancer they never needed to know about, and subject 200 to unnecessary biopsies [around 22:00] Why thermograms are not a screening tool for breast cancer and what they should actually be used for [29:39] Why stage zero is not cancer — and why the breast cancer world hasn't renamed it the way other specialties have [38:53] The truth about bioidentical hormones and breast cancer: what the data actually shows, and why women who take hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis have better outcomes [42:01] How PerfeQTion Imaging uses sound waves through a warm water bath to create a 3D reconstruction of the breast — no pain, no compression, no radiation, 40x the resolution of MRI [34:29] How breast cancer is a metabolic disease — and why screening for metabolic dysfunction can identify risk years before it ever shows on imaging [34:29] What it means to give every patient a health plan, not just a treatment plan [around 23:00] Breast health is health. And now there's a better way to protect it. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.Learn more and find a provider near you at evexias.com Connect with Dr. Terri:

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Ivy Harris, a homeschool mom of four, researcher, and soon-to-be certified homeopath behind the blog Done with Diligence, for part one of a two-part conversation on the hidden risks of mammograms and breast cancer screening. Ivy is not a doctor. She's a mom who decided she wasn't going to walk into her first mammogram without doing her own homework first, and what she found is the reason this episode exists.It started with one post, Ivy broke down what she'd learned about mammograms into five parts, shared it, and watched it split her audience in half, with some women thanking her and others telling her she was going to get people killed. Dr. Jenn picks up exactly where Ivy left off and does the math no one does at check-in: 40 million screening mammograms a year, and by the numbers in the study Ivy found, the radiation alone works out to tens of thousands of cancers and over a thousand deaths a year. This is the episode you'll want to send to every woman who's ever been told a mammogram is simply safe, simply necessary, and not worth questioning.What You'll LearnThe naming decision behind "mammogram" that Dr. Jenn says was never an accidentIonizing radiation is a classified carcinogen, and why radiologists won't apply that logic to their own testThe cross-country flight radiation comparison doctors use to reassure you, and why it doesn't hold upHow breast density and size can mean 10x more radiation for one woman than another in the same mammogramWhy younger breast tissue takes more damage from radiation as screening age keeps getting pushed lowerOverdiagnosis: the NIH's own number is as high as 1 in 2 women screenedWhy DCIS, diagnosed in 90,000 women a year, has no physical route to become life-threatening breast cancerHow standard DCIS treatment can raise heart failure and fracture risk higher than the diagnosis itselfFalse positives and the 80% benign biopsy rate hiding behind every mammogram callbackWhat a 2026 American College of Physicians paper found on mammograms and breast cancer mortality, at every ageWhy decades of mammography have increased mastectomies by 20%, the opposite of what screening promisedLead time bias: how a screening test can look life-saving on paper without changing when anyone actually diesThe UK surgeon forced to resign for telling women the truth about mammogram screeningEpisode Timeline:00:00 Introducing Ivy Harris and Done with Diligence02:27 Why Ivy researched mammogram safety before her first screening03:00 Going past the rumors to the actual breast cancer research04:13 Her viral mammogram post and the backlash that followed05:32 Standing firm on breast cancer screening controversy07:39 Radiation risks: why a mammogram is a breast x-ray09:12 The studies linking mammogram radiation to breast cancer11:14 How radiation damages younger breast tissue13:36 The math: 40 million mammograms and radiation-induced cancer deaths17:59 Overdiagnosis and unnecessary breast cancer treatment26:14 The train analogy for mammogram overdiagnosis28:12 How breast cancer actually progresses versus the screening myth32:29 The real harm of overdiagnosis and overtreatment34:54 Why mammograms don't reduce all-cause breast cancer mortality50:15 Lead time bias and misleading screening survival statistics52:04 Michael Baum, saving breasts, and a Part 2 previewResources Mentioned:American College of Physicians, Annals of Internal Medicine, April 2026: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M22-3424Guest: Ivy HarrisWhere to find her: Done with Diligence  & @donewithdiligenceTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter Explains Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer's Risk Your brain has its own immune system, and when it turns against you, it becomes the hidden driver behind Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and even long COVID. This episode hands you the science to recognize it early and reverse it. Get Dr. Perlmutter's new book Brain Defenders: https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, nutrition, and brain health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, serves on its Board of Directors, and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. His books, including the number one bestseller Grain Brain, span 32 languages and have sold over a million copies, and his upcoming release, Brain Defenders, explores the pivotal role of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in protecting, repairing, and reprogramming the brain for lifelong resilience. Dave and Dr. Perlmutter break down how microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, shift from a supportive state into a destructive one called M1, and why this shift, not amyloid plaque, may be the real driver of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative conditions. They dig into why the leading amyloid-clearing drugs fail to improve cognition, what a landmark JAMA study revealed about reversing cognitive decline through lifestyle intervention alone, and why a single daily serving of ultra-processed food raised Alzheimer's risk by 13 percent in a 12.7 year study. They also cover new research on GLP-1 drugs and brain inflammation, the surprising role of gum disease and oral bacteria in dementia risk, and why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a low-cost tool for clearing brain plaque and calming neuroinflammation. You'll Learn: Why the shift from supportive to destructive brain immune cells may be the true root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Why leading Alzheimer's drugs fail to improve cognition, and what the original research behind the amyloid hypothesis actually showed How one daily serving of ultra-processed food raises Alzheimer's risk, and what a landmark lifestyle intervention study found instead Whether GLP-1 drugs help or harm brain inflammation, based on new Parkinson's and Alzheimer's trial data How gum disease and oral bacteria are linked to dementia, and simple daily habits that reduce that risk Why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a tool to clear brain plaque and calm neuroinflammation How ketones, DHA, and metabolic health protect the brain after head injury Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

Medical doctors don't always train in the states where they end up working. And for OB-GYNs in particular, that can mean navigating conflicting state laws around which procedures are allowed. Democrat U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison is an OB-GYN who represents Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District. She has introduced a bill that would provide funding to help medical residents in states with strict abortion bans travel for some of their training. For more on the proposal, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Dr. Erin Stevens, legislative chair of Minnesota's section of the American College of OB-GYNs, or ACOG.

Emergency departments have become the place where nearly every fracture in the healthcare system eventually shows up: behavioral health gaps, delayed primary care, staffing shortages, transfer disputes and inpatient bottlenecks. As demand rises and care becomes more complex, the ED is no longer just a clinical entry point — it is a pressure test for the entire hospital. Research has linked ED crowding to treatment delays, poorer patient outcomes, violence against staff, turnover and burnout, making emergency care a window into the broader strain on hospitals.So what happens when the system's safety net is treated less like a strategic entry point for care and more like a holding area for everything the rest of the hospital cannot absorb?That's the question at the heart of the latest episode of I Don't Care. Host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Dr. Jim Augustine, a renowned emergency department physician leader and medical director, about what is broken in emergency care, what can still be fixed, and why hospital leaders need to rethink the role of the ED. Their conversation covers emergency department overcrowding, boarding, benchmarking, EMTALA, behavioral health, post-COVID facility design and the future of hospital-at-home models.What you'll learn…Boarding is not just an ED problem. Dr. Augustine argues that when admitted patients remain in the emergency department because inpatient beds or processes are unavailable, the issue reflects whole-hospital flow, not ED failure.Low-acuity patients are not the real cause of emergency department dysfunction. He warns that blaming ED crowding on sprained ankles or minor complaints distracts from larger operational problems, including inpatient throughput and community care breakdowns.Emergency departments need new planning assumptions. Dr. Augustine says older design formulas no longer fit today's patient population, which is older, more medically complex, more behavioral-health intensive and more likely to require extended diagnostic workups or boarding.Dr. Jim Augustine is a longtime emergency physician and EMS medical director whose career spans emergency department leadership, fire and EMS operations, clinical governance, benchmarking and system design. He has held national leadership roles with the American College of Emergency Physicians, US Acute Care Solutions, the Emergency Department Benchmarking Alliance and the International Association of Fire Chiefs. A clinical professor, consultant, author and speaker, Dr. Augustine is widely recognized for his expertise in emergency care operations, ED data, department design and prehospital care.

Behavioral euthanasia is one of the hardest and most misunderstood decisions a pet parent may ever face. While most people think of euthanasia as something reserved for pets who are elderly, sick, or physically suffering, serious behavior problems can also become quality-of-life and safety issues.In this episode of The Pet Parent Hotline, board-certified veterinary behaviorist Dr. Lore Haug explains what behavioral euthanasia actually means, why it is not only about aggression, and why a pet who appears physically healthy may still be suffering mentally or behaviorally.This conversation looks at the realities families face when a pet's behavior becomes frightening, unsafe, overwhelming, or unmanageable. Dr. Haug discusses severe anxiety, storm phobia, separation distress, compulsive behaviors, self-injury, aggression, rehoming concerns, and the emotional toll these situations can take on both pets and people.This episode is not a decision guide and is not a substitute for working directly with a veterinarian, veterinary behaviorist, or qualified behavior professional. The goal is to help pet parents better understand behavioral euthanasia, reduce stigma around the topic, and recognize why families facing this decision need support, not judgment.IN THIS EPISODE:• What behavioral euthanasia means• Why behavioral euthanasia is broader than aggression• How severe anxiety, phobias, and compulsive behaviors can affect quality of life• Why “physically healthy” does not always mean mentally or behaviorally well• How serious behavior problems can affect the whole family• Why management has to be realistic and sustainable• What pet parents should explore before considering euthanasia• Why medical issues, pain, medications, environment, and nutrition matter• When rehoming may help and when it may simply move the problem• Why shelters, sanctuaries, and “farms” are not always realistic solutions• How guilt, grief, relief, and judgment can all be part of this decision• Why qualified, supportive professionals are so importantGet in touch with Dr. Haug: https://www.texasvetbehavior.com/ RESOURCES MENTIONED:Texas Veterinary Behavior Services:https://www.texasvetbehavior.com/American College of Veterinary Behaviorists:https://www.dacvb.org/International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants:https://iaabc.org/Karen Pryor Academy:https://karenpryoracademy.com/Pet Professional Guild:https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/FINAL THOUGHT:Behavioral euthanasia is not the first option, but it should not be an unspeakable one either. Families facing this decision deserve accurate information, qualified guidance, and compassion.If a pet's behavior has become frightening, unsafe, or overwhelming, the first step is to consult a veterinarian to discuss possible medical causes, pain, medication options, behavior support, and qualified professional help.Stuck on a pet problem?

His priorities include strengthening MDVIP's preventive and wellness programs, supporting physicians transitioning into more manageable practice sizes, and expanding the MDVIP model to new physician segments and patient populations across different life stages. "MDVIP was built on the belief that primary care should be proactive, personal and sustainable for physicians," said Larry Kutscher, CEO and Board Chairman of MDVIP. "Dr. Lin has devoted his career to those same principles, designing care models that prioritize prevention, meaningful time with patients and better long-term health. He will be a powerful advocate for our physician community and a key partner in shaping the future of MDVIP." Dr. Lin's passion for MDVIP's mission is rooted in his early years in practice, when he saw firsthand how fragmented, specialist-heavy care consumed patients' lives and made it difficult to focus on prevention and long-term health. "As a cardiologist, I've always viewed health as a long game," said Dr. Jeffrey Lin, Chief Medical Officer of MDVIP. "The choices we make in our 40s and 60s shape the next 30 years of our lives. MDVIP has spent more than 25 years building a model that gives physicians the time and tools to focus on prevention and real relationships with patients. I'm excited to help bring that kind of care to more doctors and patients across the country." Dr. Lin also emphasized the importance of elevating the physician experience. "You can't deliver great long-term outcomes if the people providing care are burnt out," he added. "I'm looking forward to partnering with our affiliated clinicians to bring more joy back into their practice and help patients live longer, healthier lives." With the appointment of Dr. Lin, MDVIP is beginning a new chapter in its growth story, doubling down on personalized, relationship-centered care and expanding its influence among patients and physicians nationwide. About Dr. Jeffrey Lin Dr. Jeffrey Lin is a board-certified cardiologist, internist, and an accomplished physician executive dedicated to advancing personalized, preventive, and relationship-driven care.

Episode 3452: Dr. Neal explains that hitting a fitness plateau doesn't mean you need to keep adding more time or volume to your workouts. By making strategic changes, such as altering exercise order, adjusting repetitions and rest periods, adding resistance, or using microcycles, you can challenge your body in new ways and continue making progress efficiently. Quotes to ponder: "The trick is to change something. It doesn't have to be a major change." "Microcycles are basically 2 to 4 week periods of similar workouts but increasing the intensity from one workout to the next."

 CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Rebecca Garber, and Tina Reddy discuss INOCA with Dr. Claire Raphael. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor Pacey Wetstein. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Einthoven under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli, and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is more common than often recognized, particularly in women and individuals with risk factors like diabetes or hypertension. Conditions such as INOCA, ANOCA, and MINOCA can cause ischemia and chest pain despite “clean” angiograms, often due to microvascular dysfunction, coronary spasms, or subtle plaque. Diagnosing these conditions requires advanced imaging or invasive studies to assess blood flow and vessel function. Treatment focuses on reducing cardiovascular risk with aspirin, statins, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs, and managing symptoms with beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers. The key takeaway: A normal angiogram doesn't rule out disease, and these patients need a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to care.

Pearls: When patients present with chest pain but do not have obstructive coronary artery disease, the story does not end there! Other pathologies that must be ruled out include spontaneous coronary artery disease (SCAD), coronary vasospasm, microvascular disease, Takotsubo, and cardiomyopathy. A TTE can help rule out other pathologies. Cardiac MRI can help identify myocardial fibrosis, scarring, or edema that may suggest prior events or alternative diagnoses.  About 60-70% of INOCA cases are in women. However, it is estimated that about half of the patients with so-called “normal” angiograms actually have positive stress tests. Patients with elevated troponins are more likely to have recurrent events. Patients with INOCA are more likely to come back to the ER multiple times before getting diagnosed. These patients have a 1.4x increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events (such as HFpEF, MI, and recurrent hospitalizations for cardiac chest pain).  INOCA is a complex condition with a variety of causes, primarily linked to microvascular disease. Within microvascular disease, there are different “endotypes” (types or subcategories) classified by specific characteristics. In centers that conduct microvascular testing, patients are categorized as endothelium-independent or endothelium-dependent, based on their responses to adenosine or acetylcholine during testing. Additionally, microvascular disease can be classified as either structural or functional, depending on the results of tests measuring microvascular resistance. The field is moving towards the term ANOCA, or angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries, to include patients with anginal symptoms without objective ischemia.  The field is moving toward using genotyping and hemodynamic testing to guide first-line therapies for microvascular disease, a heterogeneous condition. Current treatments mostly come from obstructive coronary artery disease, but specialized approaches—like the coronary sinus reducer—may offer unique benefits for microvascular disease. Treatment includes sublingual nitroglycerin, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and beta-blockers. Remember to also treat any additional comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Unfortunately, many of these patients may still have refractory chest pain, so it is important to reassure them. These patients can still exercise, but they may be hesitant to do so for fear of having chest pain. Cardiac rehab may be helpful for these patients as it helps them build up their tolerance.

Calling a doctor a provider sounds harmless. The American College of Physicians says it isn't. Janet Jokela, former treasurer of the American College of Physicians, professor, and medical educator, discusses the KevinMD article "Physician vs. provider is an ethics issue, not just style." She walks through how the word "provider" entered medicine through Medicare in 1965 and ended up lumping physicians together with hospitals and insurance companies as interchangeable "providers of services." You will hear why the Latin root of compassion (to suffer with) names something physicians do that corporate entities do not, why the ethical obligations physicians take on (do no harm, beneficence, patient autonomy, justice) do not apply to insurance companies or hospital systems in the same way, and why allowing the language to blur that line accelerates the deprofessionalization of medicine. You will hear what to say when someone calls you a provider, and what to call mixed clinical teams instead. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

The newest AHA and ACC guidelines for treating dyslipidemia are here — and according to Dr. Kim Williams, they mark a powerful shift toward prevention, earlier testing, and whole-food, plant-based nutrition as the foundation of cardiovascular care.Rip welcomes back Dr. Kim Williams, past president of the American College of Cardiology, for a practical and deeply encouraging breakdown of what these updated cholesterol guidelines mean for everyday people.Dr. Williams explains why cardiovascular risk is no longer just about one cholesterol number. Instead, clinicians are being encouraged to look at the whole picture: LDL cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a), inflammation, blood pressure, blood sugar, kidney function, family history, lifestyle, and coronary artery calcium when appropriate.The most exciting part for the PlantStrong community? Lifestyle optimization is now treated as the clinical foundation — and Dr. Williams is clear about what that means: a whole-food, plant-based diet built around beans, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, along with exercise, sleep, mindfulness, strong social connections, and avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and other harmful substances.This conversation also tackles statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, Lp(a), coronary calcium scoring, and the new philosophy of treating risk lower, earlier, and longer — always with food first, and medication when needed.Key TakeawaysThe new cholesterol guidelines emphasize lifestyle first, not lifestyle as an afterthought.Dr. Williams says a whole-food, plant-based diet should be built around beans, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms.LDL cholesterol is still important, but it is no longer the only number that matters.ApoB may give a clearer picture of risk in some people, especially those with diabetes, high triglycerides, or central obesity.Lp(a) is largely genetic and should be measured at least once in adulthood; the 2026 guideline includes updated recommendations for elevated Lp(a).Coronary artery calcium scoring can help personalize risk and guide LDL targets.Dr. Williams emphasizes that the goal is not “plants versus statins.” It is whole plant foods first, medications when needed.The overall prevention philosophy is: lower, earlier, longer.Watch the Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6cD8tGpsAggLearn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyLearn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrong.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® Dr. Mike Chupp is joined by three members of the American College of Family Medicine (ACFM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Hippocratic Family Medicine. The discussion centers on the origins of ACFM, the challenges facing family medicine today, and the importance of providing a unified voice for life-affirming physicians navigating complex moral, ethical, and cultural issues. Topics include conscience protections, physician advocacy, medical education, and efforts to preserve evidence-based patient care, as well as why engagement within the profession, rather than withdrawal, is the most effective way to influence the future of family medicine and support physicians whose values have often gone unrepresented.

Most business owners understand the importance of attracting and retaining talented employees. What many fail to appreciate is how much risk can be concentrated in just one or two key individuals. Whether it's a top salesperson, lead engineer, operations manager, or other critical team member, the sudden loss of a key employee can create significant disruption to revenue, customer relationships, operational continuity, and future growth plans. In some cases, it can materially reduce the value of the business itself.In this episode, Pat Ennis and Walter Deyhle are joined by Mark Gage to discuss one of the most overlooked areas of business risk management: identifying and protecting key employees. The conversation explores how business owners can assess their exposure to key person risk, understand the role of insurance in mitigating that risk, and implement strategies that protect both the business and its stakeholders.This discussion is especially relevant for founder-led businesses where significant knowledge, customer relationships, or operational expertise may be concentrated in just a few individuals.In This Episode, We Discuss:What defines a "key employee" from a risk management perspectiveHow to identify the employees whose loss would create the greatest disruptionWhy many business owners underestimate key employee riskThe financial and operational consequences of losing a key employeeHow Key Person Insurance works and when it should be consideredDetermining the appropriate amount of insurance coverageCommon misconceptions surrounding Key Person InsuranceHow buyers evaluate key employee risk during due diligenceStrategies for reducing dependency on critical employeesWhy protecting key employees is an important component of exit planningGuest:Mark Gage, CLUVice President | Northeast BrokerageMark has worked in the insurance industry for more than 30 years and specializes in succession planning, estate planning, life insurance contract analysis, and impaired risk underwriting.

Chris Altchek, founder and CEO of Cadence, joins Nikhil and Jacob to discuss how AI is changing the way chronic disease gets managed at scale. Cadence treats 100,000 patients a day across major health systems and has published some of the largest cost and outcomes studies in the space, including a nearly 17,000-patient analysis in Mayo Clinic Proceedings and a 24,000-patient study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The conversation covers the three phases remote patient monitoring has gone through since before COVID, why hospital-at-home has struggled to scale despite strong clinical outcomes, and how AI voice agents cut Cadence's average alert response time from 1.8 hours to 3.5 minutes. Chris also explains Cadence's "proactive titration agent" for adjusting medications in real time, an unexpected discovery that their monitoring system catches early signs of sepsis, and why he believes digital health companies have a responsibility to engage with new CMS payment models like ACCESS, even when the economics aren't ideal on day one. They close on how Cadence is rethinking hiring and internal workflows as AI changes what the job requires.

(0:00) Intro to this episode (2:52) About the podcast sponsor: The American College of Governance Counsel (3:39) Start of interview (4:18) Keith Giarman's origin story. About DHR Global (9:33) Tony Abate's origin story. Current boards: Wolfspeed, GTT Communications, Mitel, and Tacora Resources. (23:52) Turnaround Board Playbook. Three phases: 1) Fix the balance sheet; 2) Turnaround strategy, and time to turn to the income statement; and 3) Exit the business. (28:50) Private Equity Board Structure. It is all contextual. (33:40) Compensation in PE boards. (31:15) What Makes Boards Effective, from Tony based on his chairmanship experience. Execution vs process. *Execution: 1) Skill Set Distribution ("Three is too few, five too many."), 2) Relevance of that skill set distribution to the situation at hand, and 3) Willingness to engage with the management team between board meetings ("the most important" goes to board culture). (38:34) Building the Board Agenda, from Tony: Tight agenda in three buckets: 1) Decisions needed now, 2) input without a decision, and 3) FYI. Most boards get stuck on FYI and never reach the real decisions. Then 40 to 50% of the deck should be standardized financial and operational KPIs (flag only what's changing), one rotating deep dive, and executive sessions with and without the CEO. (42:53) LLCs and Governance Dynamics in PE. (45:52) AI and Board Talent Demand. "Matrix management" (50:36) Underestimated Governance Risks. From Keith: for board members: "Are they aligned? Are they courageous? And are they adaptive?" From Tony: "The board should talk about the what, not the how." Difference between supervising and execution. Caveat: some PE firms are very prescriptive. (56:23) Founder-Led or Board-Led companies. (1:00:16) What are the 1-3 books that have greatly influenced your life:  Tony:  Titan by Ron Chernow (1998) Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris (volume 2 of the trilogy) (2001) The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson (2004) Keith: Mornings on Horseback, by David McCullough (1981) The Outsiders, by William N. Thorndike Jr. (2012) The Evolving Self, by Robert Kegan (1982)  (1:05:00) Who were their mentors, and what they learned from them. (1:09:07) Quotes they think of often or live their life by. Tony: The Man in the Ring by Teddy Roosevelt. Rudyard Kipling poem If. Keith: "Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face" (1:11:17) An unusual habit or an absurd thing that they love.

More than 60% of maternal deaths occur during the postpartum period, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major, preventable driver of that statistic. For too long, the transition from labor and delivery to home has been a vulnerable blind spot—leading to high rates of avoidablereadmissions. But the landscape has shifting. In this episode, we are diving deep into why OB providers must optimize blood pressure control before and after postpartum discharge. We'll be breaking down the landmark 2025 MOPP study, which shook up our traditional targets by examining tight versus standard blood pressure control, alongside the recently released May 2026 ACC Expert ConsensusDecision Pathway.What is the actual "goal BP" for a safe postpartum discharge?
