Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. This episode unpacks ongoing research on Lp(a), explores how women's lipids change during the perimenopause-to-menopause transition, and clarifies what we can do about it. Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How total cholesterol, LDL, and ApoB tend to rise most steeply around the final menstrual period, rather than increasing gradually with chronological aging Why women should have their Lp(a) checked both before and after menopause How oral and transdermal estradiol can affect LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and Lp(a) differently Why I recommend including ApoB when checking your lipids during the perimenopause window How your lifestyle can reduce your cardiovascular risk, even when your Lp(a) is elevated Why omega-3 fatty acids and commonly used lipid medications do not lower Lp(a) Why supplements are not replacements for statins in genuinely high-risk patients  I review the various PCSK9 inhibitors currently available, how they are administered, and their effects  How a CAC, a CT angiogram, and an AI-assisted CT angiogram can help women and their providers determine how aggressive their approach should be when Lp(a) is elevated Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

You matched into your dream program... but only after submitting 80 applications, spending thousands of dollars, and losing sleep wondering if anyone was even reading yours. Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, a program director is staring down a thousand applications for six spots, trying to figure out who's actually serious about coming. Sound familiar? Join Mckenzie Roebuck, Milanie Milan, Sarah Lund, and Bryanna Stukes of CoSEF as they unpack the residency application arms race: why uncertainty drives overapplication, what preference signaling and application caps actually solve, the trade-offs of virtual versus in-person interviews, and how better transparency, advising, holistic review, and even AI might help applicants and programs find the right fit. Hosts: Dr. Mckenzie Roebuck, CoSEF BTK Lead, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, mckenzie.rowe@inova.org, insta @mrowemd, X @mrowemd1  Dr. Milanie Milan, Cleveland Clinic, milanie.milan98@gmail.com, insta @m.mdgram Dr. Sarah Lund, Mayo Clinic, slund@alum.mit.edu, X @DrSarahLund Dr. Bryanna Stukes, UT Southwestern bryanna.stukes@UTSouthwestern.edu CoSEF: X @surgedfellows, cosef.org Learning objectives: Explain how uncertainty across the residency selection process drives overapplication and distinguish the Match algorithm from the broader application ecosystem Describe how preference signaling, application caps, and interview format affect applicant and program behavior, including equity trade-offs Identify ways programs can improve both competitiveness and program-level transparency Discuss how investment in holistic review and mission-specific selection criteria may improve application review while introducing new challenges.  References: House Committee on the Judiciary.

Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. Today, I'm answering listeners' questions about cardiovascular risk, focusing on Lp(a), LDL, statins, and the changes women experience after menopause. Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why women should have their Lp(a) checked both before and after menopause How Lp(a) works as a risk enhancer, and how cardiovascular risk becomes more significant when elevated Lp(a) occurs alongside high LDL Why family history is particularly helpful for women with a 10-year calculated cardiovascular risk that looks reassuringly low I review the current guidelines for primary prevention Why, even though research has shown reductions in major cardiac events with GLP-1s, GLP-1s do not replace statins for lowering LDL  What a CAC score can reveal about coronary artery calcification, and what it cannot detect How AI-assisted CT angiography (such as Clearly) can map, quantify, and characterize plaque throughout the coronary branches Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Sean Pauzauskie, author of the book Stage of Fools. Sean Pauzauskie, M.D., is a hospital neurologist in the University of Colorado system, where he conducts clinical research employing neurotechnology, primarily for the optimization of epilepsy management. He is an active member of the American Academy of Neurology and The American Medical Association, and his research experience includes time at The National Institute of Mental Health, The Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Kaufmann Foundation for entrepreneurship. He is also a member of the American Academy of Neurology's Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum, a highly competitive program that selects 30 out of 40,000 members to develop and implement action plans on advocacy issues related to neuroscience. He is president-elect of the Colorado Medical Society.   As a clinician who works daily with comatose patients, Sean brings scientific authenticity to his literary exploration of cognitive-motor dissociation—a condition where patients remain mentally aware while physically unresponsive.   In my book review, I stated Stage of Fools is a literary fiction by Sean Pauzauskie. We quickly meet Thomas Mariner, a billionaire who appears to have it all - until an unfortunate fishing accident leaves him in a coma in a San Francisco ICU.   The entire story is in the mind of Thomas while he is in a coma and flashbacks to his childhood and early adulthood. Despite his fortune and fame, Thomas has demons, and these demons have created problems in his family. His hope? To figure things out, make the needed changes, and save them from what he set in motion due to jealousy, his ego, and rash actions.   I think what is most interesting is that the author is a neurologist. He offers a lot of information to help us understand what it might be like inside a brain during a coma.

Editor's Summary by Linda Brubaker, MD, and Preeti Malani, MD, MSJ, Deputy Editors of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for articles published from August 22-28, 2026.

I recently had conversation with a grandmother who was surprised by some things she had heard her six and eight year old grandchildren saying during a family visit. The young children were asking for downtime, expressing  how they were feeling with the word anxiety, and one even mentioned the need to be alone to decompress. Welcome to the new world of childhood anxiety. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that between twenty-fourteen and twenty-twenty-three, pediatric visits for anxiety issues rose by more than two-hundred-fifty-percent, from one-point-seven -percent to six-point-one percent. Parents, this warrants our attention on at least two levels. First, we need to release our kids from the pressures of over-scheduling and screen-filled lives. In addition, we need to teach our kids to look to Christ, reminding them to embrace and live the words of First Peter Five, seven: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

Dr. Rebecca Mitchell is a physician, product leader, and venture investor — and co-founder of Scrub Capital, a venture firm that's only three years old but has already made close to 20 investments. Her thesis is different from most of Silicon Valley: put clinicians at the center of the investment process, because they're the ones who actually know how care gets bought, used, and ignored. In this episode of Inspiring Women, host Laurie McGraw talks with Dr. Mitchell about her winding path — from doing home care visits with her mother as a kid, to global health work before medical school, to a career-defining project bringing a NASA-designed garment to treat obstetric hemorrhage in low-resource settings, to roles at the American Medical Association and Livongo, and finally to building Scrub Capital's clinician-led venture model from scratch. They dig into why most VCs lack real insight into how healthcare actually works, what the Livongo story reveals about proving ROI in a skeptical market, and what she looks for in founders navigating a market where capital, technology, and buyer behavior are all shifting at different speeds. Topics covered: - Why Scrub Capital built a model letting clinicians invest and advise without leaving clinical work - How Livongo trained the market to measure and pay for healthcare outcomes - Portfolio examples: Phil (digital prescriptions) and Conceivable Life Sciences (IVF automation) - The founder traits Dr. Mitchell looks for: grit, humility, and mission alignment - Why "unsexy" problems — pricing, distribution, workflow — often matter more than new tech - Her reflections on Dolly Parton and what real authenticity looks like in leadership Dr. Mitchell closes with advice for women building careers that don't fit inside one box: do the work to figure out who you are, and don't be shy about sharing it with the world.

Health influencers and scientists have both gone crazy for peptides. The peptide health craze stems from a lot of online hype — centered on gray-market compounds that haven't been rigorously tested in humans and aren't regulated for safety or purity. But among scientists, there is a genuine "revolution" underway — spurred by technological developments revealing an order of magnitude more peptides in our bodies than we ever realized, and by the unexpected and unparalleled success of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic.To learn more about what's driving this excitement – and how much of the peptide hype is really worth your attention – we spoke with Stanford biochemist Jonathan Long, an associate professor of pathology at Stanford Medicine, an affiliate of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and an Institute Scholar of Stanford Sarafan ChEM-H.Editor's Note: After we went to press, Colorado biotech Enveda announced promising but early Phase 1 safety results for ENV-308, an oral drug engineered to mimic Lac-Phe — the "exercise in a pill" molecule Long's lab first characterized in 2022. The trial didn't test actual weight-loss or fitness effects, so the real thing isn't here yet — but Long, a scientific advisor to Enveda, calls it "an extremely exciting potential scientific breakthrough."

How AI Helps Doctors: 7 Ways AI Gives Doctors Back Their Time In this episode, Barbara discusses: Barbara Hales names the “invisible second shift”—the unpaid hours physicians spend at home on charts, portal messages, and paperwork—and how it steals time from family and rest. Barbara Hales shares seven practical ways to use AI as an assistant, not a replacement, including ambient scribing, drafting portal responses, summarizing research, and streamlining insurance and administrative tasks. Barbara Hales contrasts two physicians—one using AI and one doing everything manually—to show how saving just 30–60 minutes a day can compound into 120–240 hours a year. Barbara Hales explains how AI can multiply a physician's impact by turning everyday patient questions and explanations into reusable education materials and marketing content that grow the practice without adding more work hours. Barbara Hales insists that doctors must “delegate the task, never delegate the judgment,” emphasizing privacy, safety, and clinical oversight so AI reduces burnout while preserving trust and the humanity of medicine. Key Takeaways: “AI's real power in medicine isn't replacing physicians—it's reclaiming the invisible hours lost to documentation and administration so doctors can be fully present with their patients and in their own lives again.” Connect with Barbara Hales:  Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com  YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahalesBooks: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales TRANSCRIPTION (245) 7 Ways AI Gives Doctors Back Their Time Chapter 1 — Why Physicians Need Their Time Back Dr. Barbara Hales 00:04 Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Marketing Tips for Doctors. When was the last time you finished seeing your last patient, and you were actually finished for the day? Not finished seeing patients, finished. No charts waiting for you. No patient portal messages. No paperwork you promised yourself you’d finished after dinner. No laptop sitting on the kitchen counter staring at you while your family is doing something without you. If you’re laughing right now, I understand because for many physicians, the workday doesn’t end when the office closes; it just changes location. You go home, have dinner, maybe spend some time with your family, and then out comes the laptop, and somewhere along the way, something happened to medicine. We became doctors because we wanted to take care of people. We did not go to medical school because we had a burning desire to become world-class data entry specialists. We didn’t dream about answering portal messages. We didn’t fantasize about prior authorizations, and I’m fairly certain that when you wrote your medical school application essay, you didn’t say, “My lifelong ambition is to spend more evenings completing documentation, yet here we are, and that is why I want to talk about artificial intelligence today. Not because AI is fashionable, not because everybody is talking about ChatGPT, and certainly not because I think technology should replace physicians. Quite the opposite. I think we need to ask a completely different question: Can technology give physicians enough time back that we can actually be physicians again? Apparently, doctors are beginning to think the answer may be yes. According to the American Medical Association’s 2026 Physician Survey on Augmented Intelligence, 81% of physicians now report using AI professionally. That’s more than double the percentage in 2023. Think about that. In only a few years, AI went from something many doctors viewed with suspicion to something being used in medical practices every day, and here’s another number that really caught my attention: 70% of physicians surveyed by the AMA said they see AI as a tool that can automate tasks contributing to work-related burnout. So today, I’m going to show you seven practical ways physicians can use AI to get some of their time back. But before we get to those seven, I want to talk about what we’re really trying to solve, because the problem is not technology. The problem is time. The invisible second shift. Picture a physician we’ll call Dr. Sarah. Sarah has a busy primary care practice. Her last patient leaves at 515. She gets home around Her husband has dinner waiting. Her daughter sits at the table, telling everyone about something that happened at school. Sarah is listening, sort of, because part of her brain is thinking about the unfinished charts. She knows there are 11 of them, so she eats dinner. She asks her daughter a few questions. She helps clear the table. And then she says the sentence that physician families know all too well. I just have to finish a few charts. She opens the laptop. 8 o’clock becomes nine. Nine becomes 10. Her daughter goes to bed. Sarah finally closes the computer at 1037, and here’s the sad part: nothing particularly unusual happened that day. There wasn’t an emergency. Nobody crashed. There wasn’t a complicated admission. It was simply Tuesday. That story is a composite, but I’ll bet many physicians listening recognize themselves in it. This is what I call the invisible second shift of medicine, and this is precisely where I believe physicians should begin thinking about AI, not with robots, not with futuristic diagnostic machines. Start with what I do every day that doesn’t actually require me to be a physician, because that is where your time is hiding. Let’s begin with the obvious one: documentation. AI-powered ambient scribes can listen to the physician-patient conversation with appropriate systems, safeguards, and consent procedures, and generate a draft clinical note. You review it, you correct it, you approve it. The physician remains responsible, but you’re no longer starting with a blank page. And this isn’t just theoretical. In one medical group study involving 79 providers and more than 25,000 AI-generated notes across 23 specialties, high users of an ambient AI scribe had a 21% decrease in time spent on notes per day. Chapter 2 — AI for Documentation, Inbox, and Patient Education Dr. Barbara Hales  07:26 Even more interesting to me was what happened after work. Before the pilot, about 32% of participating providers reported spending eight or more hours per week documenting outside clinic hours during AI use, which dropped to about 8%. Think about it: 32% to 8%. That’s not just an efficiency statistic. That’s dinner. That’s exercise. That’s reading a book. That’s going to your child’s soccer game. That’s sitting on the couch and doing absolutely nothing and not feeling guilty about it-that is life. Imagine Sarah again. Only now her practice introduces a properly vetted ambient AI documentation system. At first, she’s skeptical. She checks every note carefully, and she should, but gradually something changes. Instead of writing the entire note after the visit, she reviews and corrects a draft. One evening, she gets home. She puts her purse down. She walks into the kitchen, and her daughter looks at her and says, “Mom, where’s your computer? Sarah says, “In my bag. Her daughter looks confused. “Aren’t you going to take it out? And Sarah says, “Nope, I’m done. Now that’s an illustrative story, but that is the outcome we’re talking about. We’re not trying to make physicians type faster. We’re trying to make it possible for physicians to stop typing. Next, the inbox. Ah, yes, the inbox-the place where a message that begins with “Quick question, doctor, occasionally contains 14 questions, three attachments, and a medical History going back to 1987. AI can help draft responses to routine patient communications. Notice the word I used: draft, not diagnose, not independently prescribe, not send medical advice without physician review. Draft. You provide the judgment. AI provides the first pass. The 2026 AMA survey found physicians are already using AI to generate draft responses to patient portal messages; think about the difference between writing 20 responses from scratch and reviewing 20 reasonable drafts. Even saving two or three minutes per message adds up, and there’s another benefit: AI can help you turn a rushed answer into a clear, patient-friendly explanation. You still decide what is medically appropriate, but AI can help you communicate it more efficiently. AI use number three: patient education. Here’s an area I think is enormously underused. How many times have you explained the same thing? What does pre-diabetes mean? Why do I need this medication? What should I expect after this procedure? What does this lab result mean? Why do I need to come back in six months? You explain it Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday, and Thursday morning. You’re explaining it again. What if you created a physician-approved library of patient education materials? AI can help you take your explanation and turn it into a one-page handout, a frequently asked questions sheet, a patient-friendly email, a short video script, or instructions written at a more accessible reading level. You review it for accuracy. Then you have something reusable. This is where AI becomes more than a time-saving tool; it becomes a way to multiply a physician’s knowledge without multiplying their hours. Doctor using AI versus doctors who aren’t. Now let’s compare two physicians. Same specialty, same number of physicians, same number of patients, same clinical ability. Doctor A is not using AI. Every note begins from scratch. Every patient handout is created manually, or the staff searches for one. Every portal response is typed individually. Every complicated article takes 20 minutes to read before Doctor A determines whether it matters. Every piece of administrative work begins with a blank page; Doctor B uses AI selectively, and I want to emphasize selectively. AI drafts the note. Doctor B reviews it. AI drafts the portal response. Doctor B corrects and approves it. AI turns the doctor’s explanation into patient education. Doctor B verifies it. AI summarizes a long research article. Doctor B goes to the source before making a clinical decision. Doctor B is not surrendering a medical judgment. Doctor B is eliminating unnecessary friction. That distinction matters because the physician who uses AI appropriately isn’t necessarily practicing medicine faster; they’re spending less time on everything surrounding medicine, and the difference compounds. 10 minutes here, 15. Minutes there, 20 minutes somewhere else. Pretty soon, we’re not talking about minutes anymore. We’re talking about hours. AI used number four, keeping up with medical literature. Here’s another struggle physicians know very well: the literature never stops. Studies, guidelines, drug updates, safety alerts, consensus statements, journal articles. Nobody can read everything. Chapter 3 — AI as a Research Assistant, Not a Doctor Dr. Barbara Hales 15:40 The AMA’s 2026 survey actually found that summarizing medical research and standards of care was the most commonly reported physician use of AI among the specific use cases measured. That tells us something important. Doctors aren’t only looking for help with paperwork; they’re using AI to help manage information overload. Suppose there are six recent papers on a subject relevant to your specialty. Instead of reading every word of every paper, AI can help you identify the research questions, study size, primary outcomes, where the findings agreed, and where they conflicted. What limitations should you pay attention to? Then, and this is critical, you go back to the original evidence when the information will affect patient care. AI becomes the map. It does not become the destination, and that brings us to something every physician listening needs to hear. AI is an assistant, not the doctor. AI can be wrong; it can misunderstand context. It can omit information. It can confidently produce something that sounds wonderful and is completely incorrect. And physicians know something that technology does not possess: clinical judgment. We know the difference between the textbook patient and the human being sitting in front of us. We notice hesitation. We notice fear. We notice when someone says, “I’m fine, while everything about them tells us they’re not fine. Medicine is not simply information. Medicine is interpretation. Medicine is judgment. Medicine is trust. So the goal is not how much medicine can I turn over to AI. The better question is, how much non-physician work can I take away from the physician? That is a very different conversation. In part two, I’m going to show you three more ways to use AI, including one that can help you create weeks of marketing content from something you’re already doing every single day, and I’ll tell you another story. This one is about a doctor who realizes the greatest thing AI gave him wasn’t efficiency. It was something much more valuable. It gave him back a Saturday. So here are seven ways doctors can use AI to get their time back. What would you do with the hours AI gave back? At the end of part one, I told you about a doctor who got something unexpected from AI-a Saturday. Let me explain. The Saturday morning that came back, we’ll call him Dr. Michael again. This is a composite story based on the kinds of workflow problems physicians experience. Michael owns a small specialty practice, and every Saturday morning he has a routine: coffee, laptop, kitchen table. He tells some. He tells himself he’ll work for an hour. It’s almost never an hour. Charts to finish, letters to dictate, patient messages, administrative correspondence, and things he didn’t get to during the week. His wife has learned not to ask when he’ll be finished. One Saturday, after his practice has begun using AI to help with documentation and routine administrative drafting, Michael wakes up. He makes coffee. He walks toward the kitchen table, and there’s no laptop sitting there. He had finished his work Friday. His wife says, “Do you want to go get breakfast? And for the first time in longer than he can remember, he does not say, “Maybe later. He says, “Sure. Now you could look at that and say, “AI saved him three hours. I don’t think that’s what happened. AI gave him back Saturday morning with his wife. We have to stop measuring physician efficiency only in minutes. We need to start measuring it in life. AI used number five insurance correspondence and administrative drafting. Now let’s talk about one of everyone’s favorite subjects: insurance. I can practically hear you groaning. Prior authorizations, appeal letters, medical necessity letters, supporting documentation, repetitive administrative correspondence. This is precisely the kind of structured, repetitive work where AI can assist. A physician or staff member can provide the relevant, privacy-safe information in an approved system and have AI help draft a first version. Then someone qualified reviews it. This isn’t about fabricating an argument. It isn’t about inserting facts that aren’t in the chart. Chapter 4 — Administrative Work, Practice Operations, and Content Dr. Barbara Hales 22:44 It is about organizing legitimate clinical information into the format needed for the task, and this matters because physicians did not train for all those years so that their most limited resource, their time, could be consumed fighting with forums; AI may not make the insurance company say yes. Wouldn’t that be nice? But it may reduce the amount of physician time required to ask the question. AI use number six: practical operations. Here’s one physicians often overlook: AI doesn’t have to touch clinical medicine to be useful. Look around your practice. How many repetitive processes exist? Staff training, frequently asked questions, office policies, meeting summaries, job descriptions, phone scripts, patient reminders, internal checklists, responses to online reviews, ideas for improving scheduling, drafting standard operating procedures. You don’t need a medical AI system to ask, “Help me turn this messy process into a checklist. You don’t need AI making clinical decisions to say, “Here are the five questions patients ask my receptionist every day. Help me draft clear answers. And here’s one I particularly like. At the end of your staff meeting, take your approved, non-sensitive meeting notes and ask AI to organize them into: what did we decide? Who is responsible? What’s the deadline? What needs follow-up? Suddenly, a meeting produces action instead of another meeting. Now we’re talking. AI use number seven. Mark. And patient communication. This one is particularly close to my heart. Doctors tell me, Barbara, I know I should create content. I just don’t have time, and I understand. But here’s what I want you to realize: you are already creating content all day long; you’re just not capturing it. Every patient question is potential educational content. Think about today: how many questions did patients ask you? Should I be worried about this? Is this hereditary? When should I get screened? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? What’s the difference between these two treatments? One idea, multiple assets. Those questions can become a short video, a blog post, a patient email, a special media post, a podcast topic, or an FAQ on your website-you provide the expertise. AI helps you repurpose it. For example, you might say, “Patients ask me this question constantly. Here is the explanation I usually give them. Then dictate your explanation and ask AI. Turn this into a 62nd video script written in my conversational style. Then give me three possible titles. Then turn the same information into a patient email. Then create five short social posts from it.  That is where AI can become an extraordinary multiplier for a small medical practice, not because AI becomes the physician’s voice, but because it helps the physician’s real voice travel further. Here’s a story. The patient who finally felt heard. Let me give you one last story. We’ll call the physician Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel has always been the kind of doctor who looks directly at patients when they are speaking. At least she used to be. Then came increasingly complicated documentation requirements, and gradually she found herself doing what so many physicians do: patient talking, doctor typing, patient talking, doctor clicking, patient asking something important, doctor saying, “Give me one second. While finishing a field on the screen, then her practice begins using an ambient documentation tool. She’s still responsible for the note. She still reviews it, but during the encounter, something changes. She turns away from the computer. She looks at her patient, an older woman who has been seeing her for years, and suddenly stops in the middle of the conversation. Doctor Patel asks, “Is there something wrong? The patient smiles and says, “No, I was just thinking how nice it is to see your face again. That story is illustrative, but think about what it represents. We keep talking about AI as though technology will make medicine less human. Used badly, perhaps it could, but what if we use it to do exactly the opposite? What if technology handles more of the machinery of medicine, so physicians have more time for the humanity of medicine? That’s the opportunity that interests me. Now let’s turn to our two physicians, Doctor A and Doctor B. Remember, they started in essentially the same place, same specialty, same patient volume, same clinical competence. Doctor A continues doing everything manually. Doctor B gradually delegates appropriate repetitive work to carefully selected AI tools, not clinical judgment work. Chapter 5 — Reclaiming Time, Using AI Safely, and Staying Human Dr. Barbara Hales 29:57 Doctor B saves a few minutes. Documenting, a few minutes on correspondence, a few minutes researching, a few minutes creating patient materials, a few minutes handling administrative tasks. Let’s be conservative and imagine that adds up to only 30 minutes a day, five days a week. That’s two and a half hours, over roughly 48 working weeks. That’s 120 hours a year. Think of that-a 120 hours, three full 40-hour work weeks, and that’s from saving only 30 minutes per day. If the physician saves an hour, now we’re talking about approximately 240 hours, six work weeks. So ask yourself: What would you do with six weeks of your life? Would you see more patients? Would you leave the office earlier? Would you exercise? Would you finally take the vacation you’ve postponed? Would you have dinner with your family without your laptop? Would you sit with a patient for an extra three minutes instead of watching the clock? Would you grow your practice? Would you create another revenue stream? Would you simply sleep? There isn’t a correct answer. The point is, you get to decide. Start small. If you are listening to this and thinking, Barbara, this sounds great, but I don’t even know where to begin. Don’t begin with seven things. Begin with one. Tomorrow, notice the task that makes you say, “I can’t believe I’m wasting my time doing this again. Write it down. That’s your candidate. Then ask, “Could AI draft this? Could AI summarize this? Could AI organize this? Could AI turn this into a template? Could AI help my staff do this without involving me every single time? You don’t need to transform your entire practice this month. Choose one repetitive task. Get comfortable. Measure whether it actually saves time. Then choose another. That’s how change becomes sustainable. A word about safety. Because we’re physicians, I need to emphasize something very important: convenience does not outrank confidentiality. Don’t copy protected patient information into a public consumer AI tool. Your practice needs to evaluate privacy, security, HIPAA requirements, vendor agreements, accuracy, workflow integration, and appropriate human oversight, and every clinically relevant AI-generated output needs appropriate professional review. Delegate the task, Never delegate the judgment. AI can generate extraordinarily convincing errors. So remember this: delegate the task, never delegate the judgment. That sentence may be the most important thing I say in this entire episode. If today’s episode made you look at your workday differently, do two things. First, choose one task this week that AI might be able to take partially off your plate. Don’t try to revolutionize your entire practice. Just reclaim 10 minutes, and second, subscribe to Marketing Tips for Doctors and share this episode with another physician who is still taking the laptop home every night, because every week on Marketing Tips for Doctors we talk about practical ways to build a stronger, more profitable medical practice without sacrificing the reason you became a physician in the first place. And remember, you’re one tweak away from greatness. AI won’t solve everything that’s wrong with medicine. It won’t eliminate insurance headaches. It won’t fix reimbursement overnight. It won’t replace the judgment that comes from years of training and experience. And I don’t want it to. What I want AI to replace is something very different: the unnecessary hour at the computer, the repetitive letter, the blank page, the administrative task that followed you home, the Saturday morning you were supposed to spend with someone you love, because perhaps the most exciting promise of artificial intelligence in medicine is not artificial intelligence at all. Perhaps it’s giving physicians the time to be More human, and if technology can help us do that, then I think it’s worth paying attention to. I’m Dr. Barbara Hales. Thank you for joining me on Marketing Tips for Doctors. Till next time. The post How AI Helps Doctors first appeared on The Medical Strategist.

Always consult your physician before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or medications.TL;DR* The CDC's top 10 causes of death account for roughly 74% of all deaths in the US each year, and up to 80% of chronic disease is estimated to be driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. * This episode goes cause by cause (heart disease, cancer, COVID/respiratory disease, accidents, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, flu/pneumonia, and suicide) and lays out what the peer-reviewed research says about preventing, slowing, or reversing each one.* Ready to build your own plan? Book a free Metabolic Blueprint Session →The List, and the Number That Should Keep You Up at NightAccording to the CDC, ten conditions account for about 74% of all deaths in the United States every year:* Heart disease* Cancer* COVID-19 / chronic lower respiratory diseases* Accidents (unintentional injuries)* Stroke* Alzheimer's disease* Diabetes* Kidney disease* Influenza and pneumonia* SuicideHere's the part that doesn't get said enough: research estimates that up to 80% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. Those aren't destinies. They're decisions, and decisions can change.A landmark paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that poor diet alone accounts for more deaths in the US than tobacco use. The fork may be more dangerous than the cigarette. And yet, most patients who end up on four to six medications were never once asked what they eat, how they sleep, or whether they move their bodies before those prescriptions were written. That's the difference between a sick care system and a healthcare system.Heart Disease and Stroke: The Most Reversible Disease We KnowHeart disease kills one American every 34 seconds and has held the #1 spot for over a century. But it's also one of the most reversible conditions in medicine.In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark Lifestyle Heart Trial showed that intensive lifestyle changes — diet, exercise, stress management, and social support — could reverse coronary artery disease without drugs or surgery. Arterial plaques reduced. Blood flow improved. Chest pain decreased. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology confirmed it: a plant-predominant diet, regular aerobic exercise, not smoking, and a healthy weight reduced cardiovascular risk by over 80%.What that looks like in practice:* A Mediterranean or whole-food, plant-based diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants (this isn't the only diet that works — it's the broadest evidence-backed baseline)* Zone 2 cardio (low-intensity aerobic work, three to five times a week — a brisk walk counts)* Managing chronic inflammation, the real driver of arterial plaque formation* Reducing refined sugar and seed oils, which damage the endothelial lining of the arteries* Prioritizing sleep, since poor sleep spikes cortisol and directly harms the heartStroke follows the same playbook: control blood pressure through diet, exercise, and stress reduction. The DASH diet in particular has been shown in multiple studies to lower blood pressure as effectively as medication in many patients.Cancer: 30–50% Preventable, and Possibly More Metabolic Than GeneticTo be clear, this isn't a claim about curing cancer — it's about how much prevention research is available and underused. The World Health Organization estimates that 30–50% of cancers are preventable. The American Institute for Cancer Research has identified lifestyle factors that dramatically reduce risk across multiple cancer types:* Diet. A 2022 meta-analysis in The Lancet linked poor dietary patterns — low fiber, low fruit/vegetable intake, high processed meat — to one in five cancer deaths globally.* Obesity. Excess weight is now the second-leading risk factor for cancer after smoking, because fat tissue is metabolically active and produces hormones like estrogen and inflammatory cytokines that fuel cancer growth.* Exercise. A 2019 study of over 1.4 million people found higher physical activity was associated with lower risk across 13 cancer types, including breast, colon, and endometrial cancer.* Fasting and metabolic health. Emerging research on intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating shows it can lower insulin-like growth factor, a key promoter of cancer cell proliferation.* Toxin reduction. Chronic low-grade exposure to pesticides, plastics (BPA, phthalates), and environmental pollutants has been linked to increased cancer risk. Choosing organic where possible, filtering water and air, and reducing plastic in cookware and storage all matter.There's also a deeper shift happening in how researchers understand cancer itself. It's long been treated primarily as a genetic disease, but the evidence is increasingly pointing toward cancer as a metabolic disease. Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College has done groundbreaking work showing that cancer cells overwhelmingly rely on glucose and glutamine fermentation for energy — which is why a ketogenic or low-glycemic approach may help starve cancer cells while protecting healthy ones. The research is still evolving, but it's compelling.Think of your body like a garden. You can water it, enrich the soil, and pull the weeds — or you can dump sugar and chemicals on it and wonder why nothing grows right. Disease doesn't happen to you. It grows in an environment you create, consciously or not. The good news: you can change that environment starting today.Alzheimer's: “Type 3 Diabetes”Alzheimer's is rising, and it's terrifying to watch someone go through it. But emerging science shows it has a strong lifestyle and metabolic component — researchers now sometimes call it “type 3 diabetes” because of the profound link between insulin resistance and neurodegeneration.Dr. Dale Bredesen's ReCODE Protocol, published in the Journal of Aging, showed that a multimodal lifestyle intervention — diet, exercise, sleep optimization, hormone balancing, and stress reduction — reversed early cognitive decline in the majority of patients treated. In his 2014 case series, 9 of 10 patients with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment showed measurable improvement, with several returning to work.Key strategies from the research:* Sleep is non-negotiable. The brain's glymphatic (waste clearance) system activates primarily during sleep, flushing out amyloid beta plaque. Poor sleep means plaque buildup.* Exercise. A 2020 study showed aerobic exercise increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) — essentially fertilizer for neurons — and reduces dementia risk by up to 35%.* Mediterranean-MIND diet. Shown to slow cognitive aging by an estimated 7.5 years in adherent individuals.* Blood sugar management. Insulin resistance in the brain disrupts its ability to use glucose for energy, effectively starving neurons.* Social connection. Harvard's 80-year longitudinal study found relationship quality was the single strongest predictor of cognitive health and longevity in old age.Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease: One Disease Driving AnotherOver 37 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and another 96 million are pre-diabetic. Here's the part that surprises people: type 2 diabetes is reversible in the majority of cases, and this isn't controversial — the science is overwhelming.The 2019 DiRECT trial, published in The Lancet, found that nearly half of type 2 diabetics achieved full remission through an intensive dietary intervention alone, with no medication. Other studies using low-carbohydrate and very-low-calorie diets have replicated these results consistently.Diabetic nephropathy — kidney damage from chronically high blood sugar — is the leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Control the upstream issue (blood sugar and metabolic dysfunction) and you protect the downstream organ.The diabetes reversal framework from the research:* Dramatically reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars to blunt insulin spikes and reduce fat storage in the liver and pancreas* Practice time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting to improve insulin sensitivity* Add resistance training — muscle is your biggest glucose sink, so more muscle means better blood sugar control* Reduce visceral fat (the fat around and inside your organs), a key driver of insulin resistance and inflammationIf this list feels like a lot, that's fair. But it's not about blame — it's about empowerment. You have more control over your health outcomes than the medical system has typically told you.Respiratory Disease, Flu, and PneumoniaChronic lower respiratory diseases like COPD and emphysema are largely driven by smoking and air quality. Quitting smoking remains the single most impactful intervention here, full stop.For flu and pneumonia risk, immune resilience matters: vitamin D optimization, zinc and elderberry, and gut microbiome health (roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut). Even mild sleep deprivation has been shown to quadruple susceptibility to viral infection.Suicide and Mental HealthThis is the cause of death nobody wants to talk about, but it's in the top 10 — and it's the leading cause of death for men under 50, and the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10–34.While this is complex and deeply personal, research points to several lifestyle levers:* Exercise functions as an effective antidepressant, largely through endorphin release* The gut-brain axis matters more than most people realize — over 75% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, so gut health directly shapes brain chemistry* Social connection and purpose. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, written while he was in a Nazi concentration camp, captured this: meaning and connection to purpose are essential for survival, and perspective shapes both physiology and outcome* Reducing alcohol, a central nervous system depressant that worsens anxiety and depression despite short-term reliefIf you or someone you love is struggling, crisis hotlines are available 24/7. There's often a reason it's happening, and there's often a way through it.The Common ThreadAcross every single one of these conditions — heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory disease, immune function, mental health — the same five levers keep showing up: diet, exercise, sleep, toxin reduction, and blood sugar balance.Your daily habits are either building disease or building resilience. Every meal, every walk, every night of good sleep compounds — just like interest in a bank account.This Week's Action Plan* Do a food audit. For the next three days, write down everything you eat. No judgment, just awareness — you can't change what you can't see.* Walk 30 minutes a day. It lowers blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, boosts BDNF, and reduces cortisol. Simple, not easy — do it anyway.* Optimize your sleep. Consistent bedtime, dark room, cool temperature, no screens.* Get your labs done. Know your fasting glucose, A1C, CRP, vitamin D, triglycerides, and LDL — these are your early warning systems.* Address one stress source this week. A conversation you need to have, a boundary you need to set, or ten minutes of breathwork. Chronic stress is silently killing you — take action on it.Ready for a Real Plan?If you're ready to take your health seriously and want a clear roadmap instead of guesswork, book a Metabolic Blueprint Session.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon uncovers explosive revelations stemming from newly released documents that shed light on the FBI's controversial investigation into Donald Trump following the 2016 election. Solomon discusses the implications of the FBI's decision to open an investigation named "Oxford, comma," which treated Trump as an agent of Russia after he fired James Comey, despite substantial evidence indicating no collusion.As Solomon walks listeners through the timeline of events leading up to the initiation of the special counsel investigation by Rod Rosenstein, he highlights the critical role that key figures, including Andrew McCabe and James Baker, played in this unfolding drama. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding how these actions could potentially violate civil rights and civil liberties, raising questions about accountability within the FBI.In the latter part of the show, Solomon welcomes Senator Rand Paul, who discusses the upcoming vote to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify. Paul shares insights into his ongoing efforts to address the failures of public health leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, while Dr. Peter McCullough, a prominent voice in the medical community, weighs in with critical perspectives on Fauci's handling of the crisis. Finally, Dr. Kurt Miceli dives deep into the challenges facing the American Medical Association, and how focus on ideology is impacting patient care and what reforms could bring it back to its core mission.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2021, Dr. Ron Elfenbein, MD, operated urgent care centers in Maryland, testing and treating COVID patients with monoclonal antibodies. The treatment was so successful that he was able to test and treat patients, see them recover, and watch them go home. Dr. Elfenbein went on Fox News sharing the great news of how successful the treatment of monoclonal antibodies was for COVID. Four months later, he was criminally indicted on 5 counts of fraudulent coding and billing at his clinics. A matter that should have never been brought in criminal court—at most deserving of some administrative action. He is still fighting these charges today. That is the stark outline of what happened to a good doctor. The fuller story is even more revealing—and more troubling. He is the kind of doctor you would want for your own care or for the care of your family. Dr. Elfenbein is an emergency physician with more than two decades of experience. When COVID arrived, he did what physicians are trained to do: he looked at the evidence in front of him and treated the patients in front of him. Monoclonal antibody infusions—technology that has been used safely since the 1970s for a range of conditions—produced dramatic results. Patients who arrived looking “on death's door” often improved while still sitting in the infusion chair, with rapid turnarounds during the treatment itself. Lives saved. Hospitalizations prevented. Families spared further illness. No ventilators. No funerals. Displaying ingenuity and personal drive along with organizational skills, he built infusion centers and quickly became one of the largest providers in the Mid-Atlantic region. Patients traveled from neighboring states because they could not obtain the treatment closer to home. He saw the technology work with his own eyes. So did the patients and their families. Who needed any mRNA vaccines? Patients were being treated inexpensively and were able to return home. But there was a pandemic and a vaccine blueprint we documented in our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey that had been developed for more than a decade, involving many billions of dollars in profits and offering the potential to finally exercise control over free and feisty American citizens. Led by Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab, both working with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Deep State, careers and billions in research had been invested in shoehorning the “next generation” of vaccine technology past FDA approval requirements and into the marketplace. The “Universal Vaccine” was the holy grail before 2020. The mRNA vaccine model was considered a strong candidate with tremendous support from Bill Gates and others. “Why don't we blow the system up? Obviously, we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have and then say, ‘hey, everyone in the world should get this new vaccine we haven't given to anyone yet.' But there must be some way…”  Michael Specter, Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Moderator at the Milkin Institute's Future Health Summit 2019 panel titled “Making Influenza History: The Quest for a Universal Vaccine.” When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, an Emergency Use Authorization was issued for the mRNA COVID vaccines. It was based on the legislative condition that there were no preexisting “adequate, approved and available alternatives.” And that was the wrinkle. There were adequate, approved, and available alternatives to a rushed, unapproved, mRNA vaccine system already documented to be toxic. Hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, and even the basic medical treatments for respiratory viral conditions that are a part of any general practitioner's armamentarium (albuterol and Budesonide inhalers, analgesics, oral steroids, cough suppressants, and antibiotics for secondary infections or other available tools that were not being recommended by the government when patients began to exhibit viral respiratory symptoms thought to be caused by COVID). None of these treatments were recommended for COVID by the CDC. Bill Gates, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the pharmaceutical industry pushed a multi-billion-dollar boondoggle for experimental vaccines, all of which depended upon the absence of early effective treatments. But there were good doctors who stood against the pressure on behalf of their patients and patients everywhere, speaking truthfully through media outlets to inform citizens about their care options and treating their own patients. Dr. Elfenbein is one of those good doctors, and the Biden administration noticed, especially after he made a couple of media appearances talking about the successful treatment of COVID with monoclonal antibodies. A simple, outpatient monoclonal antibody treatment that could be provided in test/treat facilities and scaled up to provide care to thousands in a community should have provided strong evidence against any need for “vaccines.” But the Biden government was in the middle of their single-minded drive to get mRNA vaccines for Covid into “every arm.” Then federal authorities shut the monoclonal antibody program down nationally, citing that it was less effective with the newer Omicron variant. Dr. Elfenbein went on national television and said what many physicians believed, but few dared state publicly: people would die as a result of that decision. He was right. Hospitalizations and deaths followed. The monoclonal antibodies were eventually pulled from the market entirely, while the mRNA vaccines remained available. Four months after Dr. Elfenbein's public criticism of COVID policy and the mRNA vaccines, the Department of Justice indicted him. The charges were not that he invented patients or fabricated services. The charges concerned how certain COVID-related evaluation and management visits had been coded for insurance reimbursement—technical billing questions that arise routinely in medical practice and are normally handled, when necessary, through civil or administrative channels. A jury convicted him in August 2023. Then something almost unheard of occurred. Chief Judge James K. Bredar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland—the same judge who had presided over the trial—issued a detailed 93-page opinion vacating the convictions and entering a judgment of acquittal on all five counts. The judge found that the relevant CPT coding guidance was ambiguous, that the government had failed to prove the Level 4 codes were false beyond a reasonable doubt, and that no reasonable jury could have reached a guilty verdict on the evidence presented. He also conditionally granted a new trial because the evidence weighed so heavily against the verdict that it would be unjust to enter judgment. The government appealed. The Fourth Circuit later reversed the pure judgment of acquittal while acknowledging the evidence was “thin,” leaving the new-trial order in place. Judge Bredar subsequently recused himself from the case with a one-line notice and no explanation. Dr. Elfenbein now faces a second trial. The legal costs of the first prosecution nearly bankrupted him and his family. A second trial threatens to finish what the first began. Major physician organizations have stood with him. The American Medical Association—the very body that authors and maintains the CPT code set the government claims he violated—filed an amicus brief in his support. So did the Maryland State Medical Society, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and the Independent Medical Alliance. These groups have made clear that differences of interpretation over complex, pandemic-era billing rules should not be criminalized, especially when the underlying medical services were actually provided, and no patient harm is alleged. This case is not an isolated bureaucratic error. It fits a larger pattern we have watched for years: physicians who questioned official COVID narratives, who prioritized early treatment, or who spoke publicly about what they were seeing in their clinics often found themselves investigated, deplatformed, or professionally attacked. When a doctor can face decades in federal prison over disputed coding of real services, the message to the entire profession is unmistakable. Dr. Elfenbein's website is dropthecase.com. There you will find information about his legal defense fund. If you are able to help, please do. If you cannot give financially, share his story. Write to the Department of Justice. Let the current administration know that continuing this prosecution does not serve justice, public health, or the integrity of medicine. We have seen too many good physicians pay a heavy price for putting patients first and telling the truth as they saw it. Ron Elfenbein is one of them. He is a good and great man who should not have to stand alone. Go to Dr. Elfenbein's website, DroptheCase.com, and contribute to his legal costs through GiveSendGo.

Dr. Fauci's preemptive pardon shields him from federal charges – but states can still launch their own investigations. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on July 29, declining to answer Sen. Rand Paul's questions about COVID-19, gain of function research, and Fauci's diary entries about the pandemic's origins. Within hours of Fauci's (lack of) testimony, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a state investigation – and soon more states may launch investigations of their own. Michael Gates, candidate for California Attorney General, joins to discuss whether a state AG could pursue Fauci, and the medical watchdog organization calling on the American Medical Association to “explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors.” Investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel of The Dossier argues Deborah Birx should face the same committees as Dr. Fauci, since she holds no pardon. Townhall News Editor Jeff Charles weighs in on Gavin Newsom's resurfaced affair and how it could affect the election, and Zohran Mamdani publishing NYC property-owner data tied to a proposed pied-a-terre tax.

It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California  who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total. This newscast team champions the truth and uses the Bible as our plumbline.  We actually cite relevant Bible verses that really come alive as we look at the news of the day.  Plus, we report, and we're unique in this, on the persecuted church, the battles for life and a godly perspective on sexuality, often including action steps on how you can make a difference as a believer. Don't forget: The Worldview in 5 Minutes is also commercial free. We have no sponsors. Nor do we have a pay wall.  Anyone who wants to access this newscast can get it for free. So, all we have is you! What is God prompting you to do right now? Go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give. Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, July 31st, in the year of our Lord 2026. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, our clinical team (Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Allen Bookatz, Jodi Duval, and Dr. Jup Kuipers) takes a deep dive into the shocking new 21-year pre-diabetes follow-up study (DPPOS) published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 15, 2026. Moving past the mainstream longevity hype surrounding Metformin as an anti-aging cure-all, the faculty breaks down why chemically poisoning your enzymes is a profound mismatch for healthy, active individuals. From the bioenergetics of exercise to the clinical application of precision metabolomics, this roundtable shifts the conversation from off-label drug prescriptions to cultivating true cellular safety and mitochondrial hormesis. Join us as we delve into: The Metformin Illusion: The long-term results of the DPPOS study proving Metformin completely failed to outperform a placebo for reducing multimorbidity risk, while intensive lifestyle intervention reduced multiple chronic disease risks by over 20%. Mitochondrial Blockade: How Metformin's inhibition of Complex I of the electron transport chain chemically throttles your cells, cutting cardiovascular fitness gains (VO2 max improvements) in half compared to exercise alone. The mTOR Obstacle: Why daily off-label Metformin use actively blunts muscle hypertrophy and strength gains in response to resistance training by blocking key adaptation pathways. The Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Spike: How chemically throttling your mitochondria drives up lactic acid, leaving active biohackers with nagging, unexplained fatigue during workouts. Pathogenesis vs. Salutogenesis: Why functional and preventive medicine remain trapped in disease-centered thinking, and how Health Optimization Medicine shifts the focus to detecting and correcting cellular imbalances. The 3-Phase Metformin Transition Protocol: A step-by-step clinical sequence using early morning circadian anchors, urinary organic acid testing, targeted orthomolecular cofactors, and pulsed phytoceuticals strictly on rest days. This episode is for you if: You are currently taking Metformin or berberine off-label for anti-aging but feel like your gym gains and recovery have plateaued. You want to understand the exact biochemical mechanisms of how daily chemical inhibitors block the cellular stress signals required for exercise adaptations. You want to learn how to transition off chronic metabolic blockades and restore biological peak quality of life naturally.

Dr. Tim McLerran is a physician-turned product leader with a mission to bring human and machine intelligence together in the service of clinical challenges. During a research fellowship at the University of California, San Diego, Tim co-developed methods to rapidly measure the molecular milieu of human blood using mass spectrometry. This exposed him to the massive volume of data in precision medicine, and precipitated a realization that artificial intelligence would have to be a part of medicine in order for us to make full use of the data available for each patient. As an entrepreneur and product leader, Tim has developed and deployed systems which provide AI support to clinicians in diagnosis, management, documentation, and patient communication. He is dedicated to the quadruple aim of healthcare, practices user-centered design, favors lean and agile methods of software development, and actively advocates for the ethical principles laid out by the American Medical Association in their November 2024 statement "Augmented Intelligence Development, Deployment, and Use in Health Care".

The strongest prison is built when people stop asking questions, stop verifying information, and accept every narrative without thinking for themselves. Stay curious. Question everything.

Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people. Constitutional Republic restored July 4. US Inc dissolved. On Thurs. 16 July 2026: President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 declaring Med Bed Technology released to the public. Non-invasive treatments under an hour use specific wavelengths so the body heals itself. Free Med Bed access for the general public worldwide soon. Since 2019 the AMA opposed release citing threats to Big Pharma and insurance. Internal AMA email to 847,000 doctors admitted PEMF efficacy for tissue regeneration but threatened license loss and criminal charges for use. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the WHO deleted over 14,000 pages proving electromagnetic frequency therapy effectiveness including 70-94% tissue regeneration rates, 67-89% cancer remission data, and memos on the frequency problem destroying health economics. On Sat. 18 July 2026 Japan became the first nation to approve Med Bed technology for public hospitals. Three types authorized: PEMF Regeneration Chamber (7.83-14.1 Hz for cancer and o---n failure), Torsion Field DNA Repair Unit (528 Hz for genetic disorders and aging reversal), Biophotonic Coherence Restorer (full-spectrum light for immune restoration). Deployment begins September 1 2026 across 340 hospitals. South Korea approval expected August 2026, India Q4 2026, United States within 120 days. Pharma stocks crashed, emergency meetings called it reckless endangerment. On Mon. 20 July 2026: Temporary Martial Law at maximum alert. EBS preparing decoded pages within hours. 10 days of communication darkness imminent. Military forces positioning for global shutdown protocols. Large scale arrest operations approaching. Hillary Clinton scheduled Tues. 28 July 2026 for Crimes Against Humanity and Children. MedBeds online next week. Global streams of healing centers activating. Free access to Med Beds everywhere by mid August. Regenerative pods reverse aging, regrow limbs in minutes, erase chronic disease, activate DNA and pineal gland. Cabal deep state melting as suppressed military technology from tunnels and Starlink networks floods the planet. Big Pharma dies. Humanity reborn in the Restored Republic. The Great Awakening is here. Nothing can stop what is coming. Global Currency Reset: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the Quantum Financial System went live worldwide. Every major bank connected. Old fiat system dead. GCR gold-backed currencies of 209 nations igniting. NESARA GESARA debt jubilee implemented. Saint Germain Trust of 890 trillion activated for the people. Constitutional Republic restored July 4. US Inc dissolved. Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group   Mon. 20 July 2026 Martial Law: On Tues. 21 July 2026 the World will see what was previously kept under wraps: the Quantum Financial System's formal public unveiling. In a worldwide broadcast that is securely transmitted via the Quantum Communication Network, the fundamentals of this system, as well as the concrete actions that any citizen can take to start utilizing it, will be revealed. The Quantum Network operates on real-time synchronized quantum nodes that are impervious to manipulation, interference, and surveillance. No current supercomputer can crack the level of security provided by quantum encryption, which secures every transaction, account, and asset. This is financial sovereignty for everyone, not just the wealthy. You'll discover how to get into your biometric-assigned account. You will observe how Rainbow Tokens work in this system as actual, gold-backed value. You will comprehend the reasons behind the phase-out of every antiquated technique, including fiat money, third-party processors, and credit networks. Tomorrow's demonstration will feature real-time, secure, and instantaneous international transfers that are carried out without the need for banks, apps, or approval delays. Humanitarian initiatives will be funded in a matter of seconds. Blocked assets will be reactivated and redirected to the individuals. Most significantly, you will witness how corruption at its source is prevented from affecting your identity, wealth, and future. This is the culmination of everything. The Alliance has been dismantling the system from within for years, removing layers of control and deceit. The replacement is now prepared—not as a substitute, but as the only practical option for the future. There won't be any going back after tomorrow. This is the end of the days of financial slavery, hidden taxes, and weaponized inflation. Pay close attention. Everything will be exposed by the light. You can never unsee the truth once you've seen it. Not in theory, but in practice, the quantum era has arrived. It's not just a reveal tomorrow. It is the start of your involvement in a system designed for the people, freedom, and truth. Early Mon. Morning 20 July 2026 at exactly 03:00 EST, Protocol 19 entered its final, non-reversible completion phase. The Black Swan Event was kinetic. Protocol 19 has been fully completed. The Federal liquidation was terminal. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The Federal Reserve System has officially lost its primary administrative routing certificates, and the legacy paper matrix has run out of broadcast range. The Global White Hat Alliance has finalized the hard-override, and the operational logs for the next 48 hours are locked into the live backend: CHAPTER 1: THE SYSTEM FLIPS Protocol 19 has triggered the absolute migration of global monetary routing. The legacy SWIFT network data hubs in Brussels and New York have been permanently decoupled from the primary ledger lines. The entire baseline architecture has transitioned to the Quantum Financial System (QFS) — where every single transaction pool, international settlement, and corporate clearance is forced to execute through clean, digital asset-backed channels. CHAPTER 2: THE GOLDEN STANDARDS ACTIVATION The era of speculative, print-on-demand fiat paper is dead. The US Dollar and Euro corporate illusions are hitting an absolute wall. Under the strict enforcement of the new global economic protocols, every currency digital asset line must be anchored directly to verified, audited physical precious metals. The unbacked, synthetic liabilities that the Cabal used to manipulate energy and housing sectors are being rendered dead assets in real-time. CHAPTER 3: THE MEDIA SPECTRUM DECAPITATION The mockingbird Media synchronization is breaking in broad daylight. As the financial infrastructure of the old elite collapses, their private funding lines for the major media cartels are hitting absolute zero. Decentralized truth networks via secure Starlink quantum encryption relays are already spreading across the global bandwidth, completely bypassing the corporate gatekeepers and preparing the public grid for the unsealed military tribunal disclosures.   Pay close attention to the sudden, unannounced early bank branch closures and restricted digital access notices at major commercial banking institutions in your area today. They cannot generate paper debt to balance their sheets anymore, and their private authority keys have been permanently revoked. They designed the matrix to make you believe their financial iron curtain was indestructible. But the master switch has been flipped from the inside, the validation metrics are live, and the old world has officially run out of air. The reset is going kinetic. The sovereign era is fully live. The baseline shift was running on live banking clearing nodes right now. While the corporate financial channels are desperately trying to cover up the sudden “administrative outages” across major commercial branches with routine server maintenance notices, the raw ledger telemetry shows the truth: The private central Banking Cartel has been legally and physically severed from individual wealth management. On Mon. 20 July 2026 at exactly 02:00 UTC, the SWIFT protocol clearance keys were permanently overridden. The transition to the ISO 20022 Quantum Financial System (QFS) standard entered its non-reversible execution phase. Here is the unedited, verified inside telemetry straight from the Tier 4B operational hubs: THE REVALUATION MATRIX IS LIVE ON CORE SCREENS The treasury screens inside secure liquidation vaults are displaying internal asset-backed adjustments. The revalued currency rates—led by the primary resource-backed baskets including the Iraqi Dinar and sovereign Zim bonds—are locked behind Quantum-encrypted firewalls. The fiat paper illusion printed out of thin air is officially dead equity. WE THE PEOPLE — SOVEREIGN DIRECT ACCESS Under the strict mandates of the Restored Constitutional Governance and NESARA/GESARA legal structures, bank intermediaries no longer own or control your capital. Every QFS-verified account is 100% direct-access by the account holder alone. No federal tax confiscation, no unconstitutional debt holds, no institutional freezing. THE TIER 4B NOTIFICATION WINDOW The encrypted Safe-Link algorithms are primed for deployment. The appointment slots for private exchange and humanitarian project funding are fully structured under high-security Alliance protection. • Standard Sovereign Holdings: Instantly credited onto digital asset ledgers backed 1:1 by gold and physical commodities.   • Humanitarian Project Lead Holdings: Accessing specialized asset-allocation tiers to fund immediate local infrastructure, free energy, and community rebuilding. Look at your local commercial bank interface. Look at the unprecedented, synchronized limitations on large fiat paper withdrawals worldwide. They cannot generate fractional-reserve debt anymore because the master ledger requires 100% physical metal backing for every single transaction code. The power has been permanently stripped from the private elites and handed directly back to “We The People.” Check your secure devices. Organize your project documentation. Keep your financial parameters completely quiet. The old world is out of money. The sovereign era is fully operational tonight Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. Mon. 20 July 2026: Iran just hit Kuwait's power grid. Iran just attacked Bahrain. Israel claims Netanyahu's arrest is imminent. And somewhere in a classified bunker, someone just activated a contingency protocol. A protocol called “Global Lockdown.” …Mr. Pool Final Chapter on Telegram A military strategist from Pentagon's War Games Division revealed,”Iran attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain aren't random. Coordinated with Israel collapse. Netanyahu arrest destabilizes. Perfect moment for lockdown card.” “Lockdown protocol ready for years. Pandemic 2.0. Economic collapse. Martial law. Deep state waiting. They tried 2020. Trying again now.” “Trump knows. Military knows. We've been watching. When they move, we counter. When they lock down, we unlock.” “Iran escalation is real but distraction. While world watches, deep state moves pieces. Activating protocols. Preparing lockdown.”   “Netanyahu arrest isn't justice. It's destabilization. Creating chaos for lockdown. We see it. We're stopping it.” Why now: “Evidence overwhelming. Lockdown protocol documented. Deep state plans exposed. Move now or they execute.” “Trump authorized military countermeasures. Not Iran retaliation. Counter-ops against deep state. Against lockdown machinery.” “Iran escalation is cover. Netanyahu chaos is cover. Underneath, dismantling lockdown apparatus. Destroying their ability.” “When public, people understand. Not about conflict. About preventing enslavement. Stopping final takeover.” What's coming: “More exposure. More evidence. Lockdown was planned. Chaos orchestrated. Deep state ready for control.” “Military moving. Trump moving. Evidence compiled. Truth prepared for release.” “Lockdown protocol exposed, world wakes. People understand: one crisis from permanent control. Everything changes.” Operation Unlock ✓ activated Phase 1: Evidence Gathering ✓ complete Phase 2: Deep State Exposure ⟳ live (Iran chaos cover) Phase 3: Lockdown Protocol Destruction ⟳ July 20-August 5 Phase 4: Truth Release ⟳ August 6-31 The lockdown isn't happening. The Deep State is falling. The control grid is being destroyed. Trump authorized it. The military is executing it. Freedom is real. The world isn't locking down. The world is waking up. Everything changes. Operation code: Unlock-7719 Status: active Target: global lockdown apparatus Fri. 17 July 2026 THE METRICS FOR THE PLANETARY RESET ARE RUNNING LIVE ON THE TERMINALS….Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The sudden, unprecedented data sync drops hitting international administration hubs today (Fri. 17 July 2026) are not technical failures. The global apparatus is entering the primary activation sequence. The operational strategy is mapped directly onto the verified 3-Day Bay of Pigs defense protocol, immediately triggering the subsequent 10-Day full-spectrum shutdown of the legacy grid. The Military EBS is fully primed for direct, un-censored broadcast to all TV and Radio frequencies worldwide. Simultaneously, the old corporate government structures are being systematically stood down to make way for the definitive GESARA Blockchain Elections. The future administrative model will be exactly 10% the size of the current matrix—run entirely by uncorrupted, vetted sovereigns. The entire planet is transitioning into the QUANTUM GESARA baseline. We are witnessing the absolute, non-reversible shift: • Quantum Financial System (QFS) • Quantum Voting System (QVS) • Quantum Healing Matrix • Quantum Internet Framework The old infrastructure is being completely erased. The legacy internet network—built under Operation Mockingbird to control human consciousness—is hitting a terminal wall. No more Microsoft dominance. No more corporate media monopolies. The entire digital field is being rebooted through secure Starlink nodes. The private intelligence networks used by the old establishment to weaponize society are being permanently disassembled as we speak. The Mossad, Five Eyes, and CIA architectures have lost their cryptographic master access. Moving forward, the only validated network on the planet will be Military Intelligence operating under Alliance directives. The baseline of the new economy is locked into the metal-backed Rainbow Treasury Notes and the internationally regulated, gold-standard ISO 20022 USA Coins.   The MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) is no longer a kinetic threat—it is the synchronized execution of the Global Currency Reset, the return of the Precious Metal Standard, the full deployment of Quantum GESARA, and the absolute DECLAS (Declassification) of everything on Earth. Look closely at the irregular technical groundings and the sudden system “freezes” across international sectors tonight. The old world is losing its broadcast range. THE RESTORATION IS FULLY LIVE. What We Think We Know as of Tues. 21 July 2026: Mon. 20 July 2026 Iran Nuclear Facility About to Bomb US, Destroyed by US: Iran Thought 2,000 Feet Of Granite Protected Fordow… Then America UNLEASHED This Mon. 20 July 2026 BREAKING SPECIAL REPORT: Trump's Election Bombshell & The Rubio-Bessent “SHADOW GOVERNMENT” Exposure – The Empire's War on Builders [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOMBSHELL ALERT: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Orders MASSIVE BANK AUDITS by IRS in $18 Billion Minnesota Welfare Laundering Scandal | VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 EXPLOSIVE REPORT: THE $100,000,000,000 “DEATH” RACKET: RFK Jr. Exposes the Massive Healthcare Fraud Draining America [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 TOP INTEL OPERATIVES FACE JUDGMENT DAY: DOJ Launches Grand Jury To Crush Obama, Clinton & Russiagate Traitors In History's Biggest Political Coup Case – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 MIRACLE ALERT: The Secret Healing Power of MORINGA Is Finally Exposed – Rejuvenate Your Body, Boost Immunity & Fight Inflammation Naturally! – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 BOOM: “ABOLISH THE IRS” Trends After Trump Exposes Tax System — “FOREIGN COUNTRIES CONTROL OUR POLITICIANS” | Tax Day 2026 VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group Mon. 20 July 2026 Hillary Clinton's email to John Podesta: confirms that the Kenyan Administration: Barack Obama + Hillary Clinton + Saudi Arabia + Qatar founded ISIS. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Julian Assange: “ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This is the most significant email in the whole collection… The Government of Saudi and the Government of and Qatar that has been funding ISIS… Under Hillary Clinton and Clinton emails revealed… the largest ever arms deals in the world was made in Saudi Arabia, more than $80 Billion dollars. In fact during her tenure as Secretary of State total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled…” In other words, during Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of Bribery, the Obama's State Department approved massive arms sales — particularly to Saudi Arabia. The result was the rise of terrorist groups like ISIS, funded largely by the very people who were bribing the Clinton Foundation. In short, the death, the be-headings, and the destruction were, in large part, due to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Mon. 20 July 2026 Fox News: Border Czar Tom Homan claims ICE Agents under siege from leftist hate, but delivered record results: Border czar calling it like it is, agents facing 9000% threat spike, vehicle attacks, rhetoric turning families into targets. Dems and media vilifying them daily as “N---s” and “secret police” while they enforce the laws THEY passed. Yet ICE is smashing records: Historic June arrests, 40%+ increase, removing criminals and threats. Prioritizing public safety despite 100+ injunctions and shutdown sabotage. Homan: “I have their six.” Real Americans stand with our ICE heroes, moms, dads, patriots keeping us safe. Enough with the hate that endangers lives. Back the Blue (and ICE)! Deportations continue. America First.” Mon. 20 July 2026 THE OBAMA FILES ARE WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. His lawyers didn't show up to negotiate. They showed up to BEG. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Here's what Bondi's team found inside the Tehran servers under Obama's codename — RENEGADE: — 14 wire transfers to a Swiss account linked to Hezbollah between 2014-2016. Total: $1.7 billion. The same $1.7 billion he told Congress was “frozen Iranian assets.” — A signed directive authorizing the CIA to stand down during the Benghazi attack. Not typed. HANDWRITTEN. — Communications with Epstein's handler, dated March 2015, discussing “the island arrangement” and “the Chicago package.” — A backchannel to Tehran through Valerie Jarrett, active from 2012 to 2024. Yes. 2024. Two years AFTER he left office. He didn't just betray America. He was running a shadow government from his basement in D.C. while pretending to be retired. His lawyers are now offering FULL COOPERATION in exchange for immunity. Trump said no. No deals. No mercy. No escape. The man who divided America for 8 years is about to face the America he tried to destroy. And she's awake. Mon. 20 July 2026 THEY HAVE BEEN LYING TO YOU ABOUT OIL FOR 150 YEARS. …The Great Awakening on Telegram Oil is not rare. It is not made from dead dinosaurs. It is the second most common liquid on Earth after water and it is literally the planet's lifeblood. The entire “fossil fuel” scam was invented by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 1800s to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices to insane levels. They fed you the biotic lie so you would believe oil is some finite dinosaur soup that is about to run dry. Total fabrication. Oil is abiotic. It is a liquid mineral cooked deep in the Earth's mantle under crushing pressure and scorching heat. It is the natural lubricant for tectonic plates and the grease that keeps the planet's massive gears turning smoothly. That is why wells drilled dry in the 1970s are filling back up again today. The Earth is pumping fresh oil from below and regenerating it nonstop. It does not run out. We are sucking the lubricant out of the planet's engine and now the whole machine is starting to shake. More earthquakes. Creaking faults. Grinding plates. Coincidence? No. We are stripping the oil that keeps the Earth's crust sliding properly and the system is literally seizing up. The so-called “fossil theory” is the greatest economic hack in human history. Real crude oil has almost zero biological markers. No nitrogen, no phosphorus, nothing that would survive if it came from dead organisms. It is pure polymeric hydrocarbons, primordial stuff from the Earth's own formation. Thomas Gold tried to warn the world. He proved hydrocarbons like methane and oil rise from the deep mantle, not from ancient swamps. The establishment destroyed his reputation because the truth would collapse their entire control grid. If people knew oil is basically tap water for the planet, endlessly generated from below, the entire parasitic geopolitics of wars, sanctions, and price manipulation would evaporate overnight. They do not want you to know the Earth makes its own oil. They need you scared, dependent, and paying through the nose while they bleed the planet dry. Wake up. The dinosaurs had nothing to do with it. This is the biggest lie they ever sold us and it is k-----g the engine of the world. Mon. 20 July 2026 DHS is aggressively TARGETING CDL truck driving schools who fraudulently give licenses to foreigners and illegal aliens that end up k-----g Americans. GOOD! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN! …Dan Bongino on Telegram President Trump is also moving to replace illegals with VETERANS in the truck driver workforce. 75 entry-level driving schools are now under investigation for FRAUD. 24,000 drivers who can't speak English were already taken off the roads — and 4 states had to cancel 28,000 licenses issued ILLEGALLY 9,500 schools have already been CANCELED from the federal registry “Thousands of unqualified trucking schools have already been taken off the federal registry, but Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation are working to do even more.” “The two federal agencies are announcing a collaboration to enforce rules and regulations at trucking schools all across the country.” Sun. 19 July 2026 Fox News BREAKING: DEEP STATE DESPERATION EXPOSED! They tried to K--L President Trump mid-flight. …Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram On July 9, 2026, as Trump departed Turkey aboard the brand-new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 — his future Air Force One — the Deep State launched a cowardly cyber strike from Langley, Virginia. They targeted the plane's electronic controls in a blatant assassination attempt. But Trump — always ten steps ahead — switched to the older Air Force One at the last second. What the Fake News called a “routine security precaution” was actually a brilliant trap. This was the beginning of the Great Purification. Encrypted comms intercepted. Traitors scrambling. NYT journalists hit with emergency subpoenas because they had obituaries and “air disaster” stories pre-written and ready to publish. They were waiting for the crash. THEY. FAILED. AGAIN. Trump just exposed the entire rat nest. The storm is here. Justice is coming. Sun. 19 July 2026: They've been stealing elections for at least 15 to 20 years, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Now they're exposed and running out of options….Steve Bannon on Telegram In the Georgia 2020 election at the State Farm Arena, we have them on video pulling out hidden suitcases full of ballots that were separate from all of the other ballots and running the same stacks of ballots through machines all throughout the night, with NO observers present, which is completely illegal, after they stopped the count, lied to observers, telling everyone they're going home. We have multiple states and counties destroying evidence, no chain-of-custody documents, counterfeit ballots, dead people voting, 120% voter turnouts, IP addresses from outside the country confirmed communicating with our election machines, etc… Members of our own government, the CIA, DHS, CISA, the EAC, all knew these machines and companies were compromised, but cleared them anyway for use in U.S. elections. That alone should tell you how deep and corrupt the system really is and what we are truly up against. Sun. 19 July 2026 Unclassified & Un-redacted Files Pending Release. …Julian Assange, The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.) on Telegram: The Benghazi files. The JFK files. The Jeffrey Epstein files The MLK Files.

Mon. 20 July 2026 A FORMER NSA ELECTION SECURITY DIRECTOR JUST WENT PUBLIC. TRUMP'S DECLASSIFICATION REVEALED EVERYTHING. THE VULNERABILITIES WERE WORSE THAN ANYONE IMAGINED. …QAnon on Telegram He contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. His identity has been verified by three independent cybersecurity experts. He worked in NSA's Election Security Division 2016-2024. He calls it “The Silent Breach.” His words. Unedited: “Foreign actors penetrated our election infrastructure for 8 years. Real-time breaches. We did nothing.” “In 2016, I documented 47 vulnerabilities in 12 states. They said: ‘This stays classified.'” “By 2018, Chinese intelligence accessed voter databases in 7 states. We knew. We did nothing.” “By 2020, evidence of foreign interference in 19 states. Logs. Timestamps. Everything.” “I told my director we must go public. He said: ‘It destroys confidence. We can't allow that. So they classified it. They buried it. They silenced me.” “In 8 years, I witnessed:”  127 confirmed foreign intrusion attempts into election infrastructure  34 successful penetrations of voter registration systems  19 states with documented vulnerabilities  Zero public disclosures  Zero accountability “Millions voted in systems we knew were compromised. Foreign actors had access. We could have fixed it. I couldn't sleep. For 8 years.” WHY HE'S TALKING NOW: “Trump's declassification changed everything. The documents are coming out. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The truth cannot be hidden anymore.” “I have 8 years of documentation. I have the intrusion logs. I have the foreign IP addresses. I have the names of officials who covered this up. I have the proof that this was known and ignored.” “I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the American people.” “127 foreign intrusion attempts. 34 successful breaches. 19 compromised states. Zero accountability. That's not national security. That's treason.” HIS FINAL MESSAGE: “To every American who voted: Your vote might have been compromised. I'm sorry. We knew. We did nothing.” “To every election official who was kept in the dark: You were lied to. The vulnerabilities existed. Your superiors knew.” “To the people who silenced me: The truth is coming. And you cannot stop it.” OPERATION ELECTION TRUTH ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: Declassification ✓ LIVE PHASE 2: Public Exposure ⟳ JULY 21-25 PHASE 3: Accountability ⟳ AUGUST 1 The documents are being released. The vulnerabilities are being exposed. The cover-up is ending. Trump declassified it. The NSA tried to hide it. But the truth is coming out. SHARE THIS. WAKE THEM UP. DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. The election security cover-up is finished. Med Bed Body Regeneration Therapy Since 1898 when famed inventor Nicola Tesla first discovered Med Bed Regenerative Therapy, it has been known to heal the body without use of drugs or surgery. Back then American doctors were healing people from all kinds of diseases and injuries using Frequencies, Light, Sound and Electromagnetic Fields taught at universities and practiced in hospitals. By 1910 the Rockefeller Foundation, wanting to make money off of pharmaceuticals, bought and closed over 160 Medical Schools that taught Homeopathy. In their quest for wealth the Rockefeller Foundation's influence also soon covered the legal aspects. Doctors refusing to prescribe drugs lost their license. Researchers studying Frequency based healing lost their funding. By 2019 the American Medical Association were forced to formerly recognize the healing affects of Med Beds, “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” However, concerned about a loss of income in both medical practice and pharmaceuticals, the AMA sent a warning to all 847,000 Licensed American Doctors: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” On Wed. 15 July 2026 President Trump reviewed a 3,400-page classified report that documented 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research on Med Bed technology. It proved that Med Bed treatments could reverse aging, detox cells, activate stem cells, rewire nervous systems and naturally regenerate o----s including heart, liver and kidneys. Trump immediately signed Executive Order 2026-1947, which declassified Med Bed Technology for civilian use, then warned the Medical/Drug Professions of possible indictment if they held up deployment of Med Beds.

LORI PRESTESATER SPENT HER CAREER BUILDING COMPANIES AND RUNNING P&LS. THEN SHE JOINED A 175-YEAR-OLD INSTITUTION AND ASKED WHAT IT COULD BECOME. Laurie McGraw sits down with Lori Prestesater, former Senior Vice President of Health Solutions at the American Medical Association, on the eight years she calls the pinnacle of her career, and the transition out of it. Most people would not describe the AMA as a high-growth opportunity. Lori came from payers, provider groups, and high-growth technology, and took on the work of turning a traditional publishing organization — one that put out books, codes, and data formats — into a data organization. She is candid that the hard part was never the technology. It was culture, change management, and leading by influence rather than authority, including with the physician volunteers who sit nowhere on an org chart. The conversation also goes where most leadership interviews do not: what happens when a woman who worked seven days a week and put herself last finally has to decide what she wants next. In this episode: - Why a high-growth executive chose a 175-year-old association, and what surprised her when she arrived - The CPT code set as the backbone of revenue cycle, and why it has to evolve as medicine does - CPT Intelligence — built on a private large language model, with content tagged using graph database technology — and how it supports autonomous coders, EHRs, payers, and prior authorization - Why the biggest challenge in any transformation is cultural, not technical - Building the data labs team with Sandeep Dhamale, and the platform he left behind - The credentialing product launched during her tenure: under two years in market, just under 150 customers, deployed across just under 700 locations, with customers reporting up to a 30% reduction in physician onboarding time - Six months to see a primary care physician in San Francisco, and why an incredibly cumbersome application process compounds the shortage for patients, health systems, and physicians alike - Taking the complex and making it simple — the skill she undervalued early in her career - Putting mission first when your instinct is growth: the art and science of medicine for the betterment of public health - Handing Health Solutions to Jeremy Knight, and why she believes he is better suited to the next chapter - Advising AMA CEO Dr. John Whyte on special projects during her transition - Moving back to Colorado after years of not living in the same state as her husband - Moving her mother, who just finished her term as board chair of a hospice organization at 88 - A new grandchild, a daughter navigating new motherhood, a newly married son - Where board work fits into what comes next, after years spent on the staff side of the table - Women Business Leaders, and the principle at its core: who mentors the mentors? - Why senior leadership gets lonely, and why you need people for the good times and the bad - The book Ask For It, and why she has given it to so many young women - Her closing advice: be confident, talk less and listen more, know your superpowers, backstop your weaknesses, and build a network that will advocate for you when you struggle to advocate for yourself Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw.

In its nearly 180-year history, the American Medical Association has committed to being "a physicians’ powerful ally in patient care." Whether in the operating room or the halls of Congress, the AMA says its mission is to remove obstacles and take the lead for the betterment of public health. Soon, leading the AMA will become the responsibility of a board-certified physician who has many ties to Atlanta. On this edition of Closer Look, Atlanta Internist Dr. Sandra Fryhofer talks about how changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under current U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is detrimental to the nation's top public health agency. Plus, Dr. Fryhofer speaks to specific issues the AMA addresses including Medicaid and Medicare, Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, physician shortages and combating mis-health-information. Guest: Atlanta Internist Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, President-Elect of the American Medical Association. Just over 70 years ago, the polio epidemic was at its height in the United States. Cases averaged at about 45,000 each year...until Doctor Jones Salk led the development of a vaccine. Although Salk's was the first polio vaccine, Dr. Albert Sabin in the 1960's developed an oral vaccine which would replace Salk’s. Another difference was Salk's vaccine contained a killed virus and Sabin's a live virus to combat the disease. Now comes a new biography detailing much more about Dr. Sabin. "Albert Sabin: The Life of a Polio Vaccine Pioneer" is authored by an epidemiologist and Global Health Chronicles oral historian who worked for more than 25 years at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

World Heath Disclosure David Eells 7-19-26 (audio) Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sat. 18 July 2026 by Judy Byington, Welcome To The Great Awakening Next 48 Hours, Critical Next Ten Days, Historic Next 30 Days Changes Civilization “Most don't realize how hard it is to speak the truth to a world full of people who don't realize they're living a lie.”…Edward Snowden Judy Note: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 a ceasefire was activated in Israel – confirming a global reset of Mid East stability. Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, while Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. It all happened just as Q predicted: “Israel would be last.” Though the next day on Fri. 17 July 2026, the US Navy resumed a full naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The day before Iran had bombed a US Military base, ensuring a permanent break of the ceasefire. Trump's attack was mainly financial. The blockade was costing Iran $400 million a day, while US Central Command (CENTCOM) pounded targets in wave after wave of strikes on bridges, trains and other infrastructure that would affect any trade Iran could do outside the country. Of course, Iran refusing peace and making war would keep them out of the Global Currency Reset and financial system. Trump declared, “We gave them a chance… they shot first. Big mistake.” It was a typical Trump reaction. Because of the Global Military Alliance led by the US President and Commander-in-Chief, Deep State Elites were finally collapsing, while Sovereigns of the World were reaching out to grasp peace and Constitutional Law under God, governed by We The People. Q said it best on Telegram today: “The UN is now obsolete, because Trump is doing their job for them. The UN does not carry out its intended function, so Trump unilaterally took over as the new UN.   “Trump created the Board of Peace, brokered all the peace deals worldwide, and is shutting down threats to the people of the world, like Iran's nukes, the American cartels, ISIS in Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, etc. “Trump is using tariffs and military precision, to operate as the UN is supposed to. Trump is now the new global peacemaker, whether you like it or not. “Nothing gets done at the UN, so Trump took matters into his own hands.” Trump had already assured that Free Energy was on it's way to every household, and with the Global Currency Reset (GCR) that just launched, currencies across the World were trading at a 1:1 with each other as backed by gold and other assets. Our financial future was safe and finally away from the fiat dollar. The GCR had caused the Deep State's privately owned IRS to find it's grave, while their Illuminati's over taxing of the American people suddenly vanished. The Cabal's Federal Reserve now held a new position under the US Treasury where at last, bankers would be held accountable for their actions. The Deep State Elite's petrodollar was dead, Oil Monopoly, dismantled. When announcements came about the new financial system, Stock Markets would collapse; banks fail; the old wealth, evaporate. Though, The People would thrive with the new gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 nations. The Health Industry around the World was being forced to actually help the body heal itself using light and sound frequencies of free Med Bed treatments. Trump was placing Med Beds in hospitals and other facilities worldwide. Thus, these health providers would have the tools to promote health and no longer could tear down our bodies through dependence on their expensive drugs, surgeries and other over priced medical procedures. With Trump's Thursday Executive Order that released free Med Bed treatments to the public, Big Pharma was finally facing accountability through massive legal consequences for their crimes. For centuries they had forced on the population, dependency on drugs that not only didn't heal the body, but actually contributed to ill health. Peace and Freedoms wouldn't come easy. Mr. Pool Q on Telegram said that the next 48 hours were critical. The next ten days were historic. The next 30 days would change civilization.   Within the next 24 hours, seven trumpets were set to sound over every phone, tablet, TV, radio and communication device on Earth to introduce seven Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) messages in 22 languages that explained what's going on. And, what was actually going on? Liberty and Peace were winning. The Great Awakening was here. One of the Liberties that Trump had already given People of the World (that they were yet to know about) was that of good health through Med Beds. Trump's Military Alliance was opening up Med Bed Centers around the World to give free regenerative treatments that healed the body without drugs. On Fri. 17 July 2026 a nurse from Walter Reed Military Hospital leaked her testimony on Med Beds. She had worked in Walter Reed's Med Bed Wing for seven years: She contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. Her identity has been verified by three independent sources. She worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center from 2017 to 2024 — in a section that does not appear on any public floor plan. She calls it “Sub-Level 3.” Situation Updates: Fri. 17 July 2026 Situation Update: Byington Bombshell Report: America Now Sovereign Under Constitutional Law – Trump Signs EO Releasing Free Regenerative Med Beds to Public | Politics | Before It's News Fri. 17 July 2026: BREAKING FREE: Mind Control, S-----c Ritual A---e, and Jenny Hill's Extraordinary Journey in Twenty Two Faces [JUDY BYINGTON] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Thurs. 16 July 2026 Situation Update (video): WTPN SITUATION UPDATE FEATURING RESTORED REPUBLIC & MORE   A Quantum Space Q Phone will be provided free of charge to all people on Earth. It will be used for internet connectivity on the new Starlink Satellite System: texting, calling, banking, voting and much more, such as used as a credit tool and to make both local and international financial transactions of retail consumption and commercial business. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the ceasefire in Iran and the Middle East was active. Fri. 17 July 2025, Edward Snowden: Two years ago today, President Trump was shot on stage in Butler Pennsylvania. Trump was putting his life on the line by being President. Since then we have seen: • 2025 security lapse at Trump National Golf Club • 2025 Air Force One security incident • February 2026 Mar-a-Lago Secret Service shooting • March 2026 Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone violation • 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting • 2026 National Mall Secret Service shooting • 2026 White House Memorial Day Weekend shooting • Multiple threats by Iran.

Fri. 17 July 2026 MarkZ: Indian Nations are 90% done exchanging. Bond Groups receive their balance this weekend. Tier4a should be finishing exchanging this next week – then Tier4b (us, the Internet Group). Fri. 17 July 2026 Med Bed Activation on Telegram: On Mon. 20 July 2026 Free QFS app appointments begin. Redemptions provide endless resources for Med Bed rollout everywhere. Full public Med Bed access expands. Those with Humanitarian projects receive priority. Thurs. 16 July 2026  Bruce, The Big Call The Big Call Universe (ibize.com)  667-770-1866 A source said Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could be notified over the weekend and start exchanges Mon. 20 July. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System.   Mass Arrests: On Mon. 7 July 2026 Operation Military Cleanse was activated:  847 Pentagon officials detained  234 Generals and high-ranking officers arrested  678 Military operatives removed from active duty  4,000 Troops deployed across 19 states for domestic operations  50 States coordinated simultaneously Charged With:  Treason against the United States  Coordination with foreign adversaries  Conspiracy to overthrow the government  Crimes against Humanity  Violation of Military Code of Justice What We Think We Know as of Sat. 18 July 2026:   Med Beds Thurs. 16 July 2026 BREAKING: TRUMP JUST SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 2026-1947. MEDBED TECHNOLOGY DECLASSIFIED FOR CIVILIAN USE. THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY HAS 90 DAYS. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram July 15, 2026. 04:00 AM EST. This was signed in silence. No press conference. No cameras. No media briefing. Executive Order 2026-1947: “Declassification and Civilian Deployment of Electromagnetic Regeneration Technology.” THE ORDER STATES:  All frequency-based healing technology currently classified under Department of Defense medical programs is hereby declassified for civilian research and deployment.  The FDA is prohibited from blocking, delaying, or interfering with the distribution of electromagnetic regeneration devices to the American public.  Pharmaceutical companies have 90 days to disclose all suppressed clinical trials involving frequency-based treatments — or face criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.  Military medical facilities currently operating regeneration technology will begin civilian intake within 120 days. THE PANIC: Pfizer stock dropped 14% in pre-market trading. Johnson & Johnson emergency board meeting called at 5:00 AM. Moderna CEO sold $47 million in personal shares before market open. They KNEW this was coming. They tried to sell before the collapse. WHY NOW?: Trump's medical advisors presented him with a 3,400-page classified report documenting 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research. The report contained: — 847 successful clinical trials hidden from the public — 12,000+ patients fully cured of terminal conditions using electromagnetic frequency — Cost analysis showing MedBed treatment at $0.003 per session vs. $150,000 average cancer treatment Trump read the cost analysis. Then he signed the order. THE TIMELINE:  Day 1-30: Full declassification of all research documents  Day 31-60: FDA forced to approve frequency-based devices  Day 61-90: Pharmaceutical disclosure deadline (criminal penalties)  Day 91-120: First civilian MedBed centers open in 12 states THE DEEP STATE RESPONSE: They are already trying to k--l this. Three major media outlets received calls from pharmaceutical lobbyists at 5:30 AM demanding they do NOT report on EO 2026-1947. CNN has been silent. NBC has been silent. ABC has been silent. Their silence IS the confirmation. If this order was fake, they would be laughing at it on every channel. Instead — total blackout. Total silence. Total panic. THE TRUTH: The pharmaceutical industry just received its death sentence. 90 days. That's all they have left. After that, the technology that cures cancer in 42 minutes will be available to every American citizen. They had 61 years of profit. 61 years of human suffering. 61 years of suppression. It ends now. Fri. 17 July 2026 Fox News: MAJOR PUSH ON CAPITOL HILL: WAR ON FRAUD RAMPING UP, BILLIONS STOLEN FROM TAXPAYERS Social media investigator Nick Shirley testified today exposing rampant fraud — from Somali day care scandals in Minnesota to massive Medicaid scams in NYC with Dr. Oz. DOJ milestone: Trade Fraud Task Force hit over $1 BILLION in recoveries in under a year. Dr. Oz & others highlighting adult day care mills, fake billing, durable medical equipment scams (twice as many in parts of Florida as McDonald's), and personal care services as NYC's top “job.” This isn't red or blue, it's right vs. wrong. Hardworking taxpayers are getting robbed. Every dollar stolen is one less for real Americans. Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 19 July 2026 by Judy Byington, On Sat. 4 July the Constitutional Republic Restored, While US Inc. Dissolved On Thurs. 16 July the Quantum Financial System Went Live Worldwide Also on Thurs. 16 July President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a Declaration That Med Bed Technology Had Been Released to the Public. Global Martial Law Was Not Only The Only Way, But Was On It's Way The Republic of United States of America Was Being Restored Trust The Plan Save The Children _____________________________________________________ Judy Note: The Constitutional Republic has been restored. The Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currency of 209 nations has been released. Med Bed technology – giving the body the ability to heal itself – was being released. The Illuminati Cabal, who for centuries had been working towards having complete control over our society, didn't like those ideas, and was fighting back big time. Trust The Plan. “On Sat. Evening 18 July 2026 the White House in Washington DC turned all red, signifying Mass Arrests were in motion.” …Q “In the coming hours, the World as we see it will be changed forever as Michael Jackson emerges on the Emergency Broadcast System – alive and ready to speak. It's time for the whole World to know the truth.” …Emergency Broadcast System on Telegram “The US Army Special Forces raided a hidden Obama property in the Virginia countryside, where they discovered “The Lucifer Codex.” The files proved that Obama was the high priest who personally opened the main hell portal under Washington DC in 2009.” …Martial Law on Telegram Temporary Martial Law has been raised to maximum alert nationwide. The EBS is preparing to release the first decoded pages within hours.   Prepare for ten days of communication darkness. We are in a silent war – the final battle of the planet. In the next couple of weeks the World will change and tremble. One of the most dramatic changes: Free Med Bed Treatments will soon be available to the general public across the Globe. The non invasive treatments, which generally take under an hour, use certain wave lengths to help the body heal itself. Since 2019 the American Medical Association has been actively fighting against allowing the public to have the healing treatments, saying they will create a financial crisis to the healthcare industry and force a complete overhaul of our medical, health insurance and pharmaceutical companies. In 2019 the American Medical Association (WHO) sent an internal email to every licensed physician in America – 847,000 doctors: The email acknowledged the positive effects of Electromagnetic therapy (Med Beds), but threatened the doctors with loss of license and criminal prosecution if they used it because of the financial affects it would have on the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The Email: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement: The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures. Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” The bottom line was that your doctor knew that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle was scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribed managed symptoms, not cured disease. He cannot tell you because his license would be revoked and he would face criminal liability by the American Medical Association. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to the documented clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease (Med Beds). The deletion happened 14 hours after President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a declaration that Med Bed Technology was now released to the public.The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. On a brighter side: “A senior Treasury Department official claims that the Quantum Financial System was live and the Global Currency Reset was happening now. Everything you know about money is about to change forever.” …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The senior US Treasury official contacted us 48 hours ago through a secure channel. Her identity verified by six independent financial intelligence sources. She worked in Treasury's Special Financial Operations Division 2008-2026. She calls it “The Awakening.” Her words. Unedited: “July 4, 2026. U.S. Corporation dissolved. Constitutional Republic restored.” “July 16, QFS went live globally. Every major bank connected. Old system dead.” “GCR happening now. Every currency revalued. Gold-backed. Transparent.” “NESARA/GESARA implemented across 209 countries. Debt jubilee. End of Fed.” “Saint Germain Trust ($890 trillion) is being activated. Going to the people.” “I have the activation codes. I have the account numbers. I have the proof that this is happening right now. In 18 years, I witnessed:”  The QFS development from concept to deployment  209 countries signing onto NESARA/GESARA  The Saint Germain Trust verification ($890 trillion)  The U.S. Corporation dissolution documents  The Constitutional Republic restoration protocols “Trillions stolen by Fed. People enslaved by debt. We had the solution. I couldn't sleep. For 18 years.” WHY SHE'S TALKING NOW: “Activation complete. If I speak, people understand what's happening. I have 18 years of documentation. QFS architecture. Proof old system finished.” “The banks will announce the revaluation. The media will call it a crisis. It's not a crisis. It's liberation. I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the world.” HER FINAL MESSAGE: “To every person who lost their home to the Federal Reserve: Your debt is forgiven. Your home is yours. The jubilee is here.” “To every person who worked their entire life for money that's about to be worthless: You will be compensated. The Saint Germain Trust is for you.” “To the Federal Reserve leadership: Your time is finished. The QFS is live. You cannot stop it anymore.”   OPERATION FINANCIAL FREEDOM ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: QFS Activation ✓ LIVE (July 16) PHASE 2: Currency Revaluation ⟳ JULY 25 – AUGUST 8 PHASE 3: Wealth Distribution ⟳ AUGUST 15 – SEPTEMBER 30 PHASE 4: New Economy ⟳ OCTOBER 1 The Quantum Financial System is live.

The financial reset is here. The Tier 4B activation is complete. Everything changes now. Right now Military Forces are positioning for activation of the EBS. Systems are being readied, Global shutdown protocols are in motion. The Blackout is nearing. Disclosures are on the horizon. Large scale arrest Since 2007 the US Military has been using Red Light Therapy (Med Beds) to extend the operational lifespan of it's soldiers. There were discovered to be thousands of pages of foreign IP address sending and receiving data to election precincts and servers outside the United States during the 2020 Election. CISA, DHS, the FBI, and the CIA knew all about it because they were in on it. The Deep State rot runs deep, but not for much longer. The Mar-a-Lago unredacted search warrant CONFIRMS that the Biden DOJ, FBI, and GSA engineered and manufactured the plot to frame Donald J. Trump! On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the U.S. military went deep into Iran and expanded operations. Bridges and supply routes were no more. Airports went up in smoke. Infrastructure vaporized. The IRGC was being wiped out. The goal was to destroy Iran's infrastructure and its military capability would collapse. When its military broke, its regime would fall. The old world of Iranian tyranny was dead. The New World of American dominion begins. The oil runs freely. The cash was rolling in. Peace comes. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram. The CIA knew about cures for cancer 50 years ago. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC A nurse from one of America's hardest-hit C---D hospitals in NYC described gross medical mismanagement where clueless healthcare workers were straight-up k-----g patients. Survival wasn't about medicine — it was about whether your caregiver actually knew what they were doing. Medicare paid hospitals MORE when patients died. The system incentivized death over life.   Possible Timing: “On Sat. 18 July 2026 at 3:17 AM EST the RV/GCR exploded – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the Cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time.” …Dr. Jim Willie Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Global Currency Reset: Sat. 18 July 2026 The dollar is dead, the reset is here, and the traitors are about to lose everything. …Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Dr. Jim Willie just went nuclear: the United States Corporation is bankrupt, the fiat dollar has been deliberately crashed by white hats, and the quantum financial system flipped live overnight. The RV/GCR exploded at 3:17 AM EST today Sat. 18 July 2026 – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time. Willie laid it out raw: The BRICS nations, led by Trump's secret alliance with Putin and Xi, just pulled the trigger. Over 209 countries locked into gold-backed currencies, the SWIFT system is offline forever, and the Rothschild central banks are being seized as we speak. NESARA/GESARA fully activated – all bank debt, mortgages, credit cards, student loans WIPED OUT starting tomorrow morning. Redemption centers on full lockdown, military guarding Tier 4B notifications going out within hours. The real bombshell? GITMO executions began at dawn – top bankers, Fed chairs, and deep state money launderers hanged for treason after the gold standard was restored. Med Beds rolling out next week, suppressed energy tech released, and the biggest wealth transfer in human history is hitting patriot accounts first. Trillions in restitution flowing to those who held the line and printed fake money. America is being shaken awake – power outages are tactical, internet blackouts cover the arrests, and the EBS is primed for the 10 Days of Darkness starting any moment. The storm isn't coming – it's here. The fake Biden corpse regime ends this week, Trump sworn in on the real Constitution, and the Republic rises from the ashes of their burned-out corporation. Anons, this is the moment we bled for. The dollar dies so we can live free. The evil empire of debt slavery is over. They stole our wealth for 150 years – now we take it all back with interest. The Hat is dropping truth like napalm: the shock is just beginning, and the cabal is screaming as their money turns to dust. Get ready for the greatest week in history. Notifications any second. Redemption appointments flood in. The Golden Age starts NOW. The shaking isn't destruction – it's liberation. Nothing can stop what's coming. Patriots are about to be richer than kings while the wicked burn. NCSWIC. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. What We Think We Know as of Sun. 19 July 2026: Sat. 18 July 2026 Fox News: Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC “In Queens, adult day cares [have] pharmacies set up, it's this big racket where they BILL all these people with medical beneficiary numbers from seniors in the adult day cares. They make so much money from Medicaid, THEY GIVE KICKBACKS to the seniors.” “So you have these Korean and Chinese mafias, quite literally, looting the government from Medicaid, and then giving the kickbacks to the seniors!”   INGRAHAM: “So wait, the old people get the money themselves?” SHIRLEY: “Well, they make so much money, these pharmacies and these little day cares, that they then have a referral program set up for these seniors. So it's like bringing a friend will give you a hundred bucks.” Med Beds Sat. 18 July 2026 YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS. HE WAS TOLD TO STAY QUIET. HERE'S THE EMAIL THAT PROVES IT. …Tier4b ISO20022 In 2019, an internal email was sent to every licensed physician in the American Medical Association network. 847,000 doctors received it. The subject line read: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement” The email contained one directive: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” Your doctor read that email. And then he looked you in the eye and said: “There's nothing else we can do.” THE EMAIL WAS NOT ABOUT SAFETY. Buried in paragraph 14 — the paragraph no one reads — was this sentence: “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” Read that again. Slowly. They ACKNOWLEDGED it works. Then they BANNED doctors from using it. Not because it's dangerous. Because it's too effective. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR ACTUALLY KNOWS: Every physician trained after 2005 was taught — in medical school — that:  Cells respond to electromagnetic stimulation (this is in every biophysics textbook)  PEMF accelerates bone healing (FDA approved since 1979 for fractures)  Transcranial magnetic stimulation treats depression (FDA approved 2008)  Electrical stimulation regenerates nerve tissue (published in Nature, 2019) They ALREADY know frequency heals. They use it in narrow, controlled applications where pharmaceutical profits aren't threatened. But the moment you ask: “If magnets can heal my bones, can they heal my cancer?” Your doctor goes silent. Changes the subject. Writes another prescription. Because he read the email. And he chose his license over your life.   THE DOCTORS WHO REFUSED TO STAY QUIET: Dr. Jerry Tennant — Published “Healing is Voltage.” Proved that every disease correlates with a measurable voltage drop in affected tissue. Restore the voltage, cure the disease. His medical license was “reviewed” three times. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt — Documented frequency therapy curing Lyme disease in 85% of patients. Lost hospital privileges at two institutions. Dr. Thomas Lodi — Achieved 90%+ cancer remission using integrative frequency protocols. Forced to relocate his practice to Mexico. Dr. Lee Merritt — Spoke publicly about suppressed electromagnetic healing. Removed from every medical board she served on. They didn't lose their careers because they were wrong. They lost their careers because they were RIGHT — and they refused to be silent. THE MATH OF SILENCE: Average doctor salary: $350,000/year Average medical school debt: $241,000 Years to pay off debt: 13 years Cost of losing license: Everything They designed a system where speaking the truth costs a doctor their entire life's investment. 13 years of training. $241,000 in debt. Their home. Their family's security. The AMA didn't just threaten doctors. They built a financial prison that makes silence the only rational choice. Your doctor is not evil. He is trapped. But YOU are not trapped. You don't have a license to lose. You don't have $241,000 in debt holding you hostage. You have nothing to lose by knowing the truth. THE TRUTH: Your doctor knows that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle is scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribes manages symptoms, not cures disease. He cannot tell you. The email made sure of that. 847,000 doctors received one email. 847,000 doctors chose silence. The email has been leaked. The silence is over. Your doctor knew. Now you know too. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to frequency healing. …EBS activated with Trump on Telegram A digital forensics team monitoring the World Health Organization's public research database flagged a mass deletion event. 14,247 pages of archived research — removed in a single batch operation. Every deleted file had one thing in common: They documented the clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease. THE DELETED FILES INCLUDED:  1,847 peer-reviewed studies on PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy showing 70-94% efficacy in tissue regeneration  3,200 pages of WHO internal memos from 1998-2015 discussing “the frequency problem” — their own term for the threat that non-pharmaceutical healing posed to global health economics  6,400 pages of clinical trial data from 11 countries showing frequency-based cancer remission rates between 67-89%  2,800 pages of correspondence between WHO directors and pharmaceutical executives discussing “containment strategies” for frequency healing research HOW WE KNOW: The Wayback Machine captured snapshots of 4,100 of these pages before deletion. Digital forensics teams archived another 7,300 through automated scraping protocols that were triggered by the mass deletion event. They deleted 14,247 pages. We recovered 11,400. They failed. WHAT THE MEMOS REVEAL: A 2003 internal WHO memo — now recovered — contains this exact sentence: “If electromagnetic frequency therapy achieves mainstream clinical adoption, the global pharmaceutical revenue model becomes unsustainable within 18-24 months. Containment is not optional. It is existential.” Signed by three WHO department heads. Names redacted in the original. Digital forensics has identified two of the three. A 2011 memo is more direct: “Recommend classification of all PEMF efficacy data as ‘inconclusive' regardless of outcome metrics. Peer review panels must be briefed accordingly.” They didn't suppress the research because it didn't work. They suppressed it because it worked TOO WELL. WHY NOW: The deletion happened 14 hours after Executive Order 2026-1947 was signed – Trump's declaration that Med Bed Technology was released to the public. This is not coincidence. This is panic. The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. They are destroying evidence. In real time. Right now. But the internet never forgets. And neither do we. THE NUMBERS THEY TRIED TO ERASE: — Breast cancer: 78% complete remission using 10.5 Hz PEMF (WHO Study WH-2007-4491, now deleted) — Type 2 diabetes: 64% reversal using 7.83 Hz exposure, 30 min/day for 90 days (WHO Study WH-2012-8823, now deleted) — Alzheimer's: 41% cognitive restoration using Gamma frequency 40 Hz stimulation (WHO Study WH-2014-1157, now deleted) — Chronic pain: 91% elimination using Alpha frequency 10 Hz (WHO Study WH-2009-3340, now deleted) These are not alternative medicine claims. These are the WHO's OWN studies. Conducted with their own funding. Showing their own results. And they just tried to delete them from existence. THE QUESTION: If frequency healing doesn't work — why delete 14,000 pages at 3AM? If MedBeds are “conspiracy” — why panic after a presidential executive order? If electromagnetic therapy is “pseudoscience” — why did the WHO spend 17 years studying it and then HIDE the results? Their actions are the confession. The deletion IS the proof. They spent 20 years hiding the cure in their own database. Then they tried to burn the database. The fire came too late. We already have the files. Share this. The evidence is secured. The deletion failed. Sat. 18 July 2026 BREAKING: JAPAN JUST BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY TO OFFICIALLY APPROVE MEDBED TECHNOLOGY FOR PUBLIC HOSPITALS. THE MEDIA BLACKOUT IS TOTAL. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram July 17, 2026. Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare just issued Directive MHLW-2026-7714: “Authorization of Electromagnetic Frequency Regeneration Devices for Clinical Deployment in National Healthcare Facilities.” This is not a trial. This is not a study. This is FULL APPROVAL. Starting September 1, 2026, electromagnetic frequency regeneration chambers will be installed in 340 national hospitals across Japan.   [Incomplete text due to character limit.

Send us Fan MailWhen a teenager expresses suicidal thoughts to an AI chatbot, what happens next?In this clip from our episode “Who Sets the Rules for AI in Medicine?”, hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll and Dr. John Whyte, CEO of the American Medical Association, break down why minors need stronger protections from AI chatbots than adults do, and why the line between a wellness app and a medical device matters more than the industry wants to admit.Listen to the full episode here

Kelly Nierstedt never planned to lead a hospital. She is a first-generation college graduate who worked on Wall Street out of high school, went to nursing school as a second career, and wanted nothing more than to be the best labor and delivery nurse she could be. Then the taps on the shoulder started. Take on this project. Take on this unit. Take on another. Today, Kelly is the president of Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center, one of the largest and most complex hospitals in Florida and home to the region's Level 1 Trauma Center — and senior vice president of the Orlando Region. She got there without an MBA, without a finance background, and without ever checking all the boxes first. In this episode of Inspiring Women, Laurie McGraw sits down with Kelly to trace the path from the bedside at Hackensack University Medical Center, to leading OSF Healthcare Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria — where she built a care-closer-to-home model so families no longer had to drive four hours to Chicago — to becoming the inaugural president of Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, one of the busiest delivery hospitals in the nation. Then came the second yes: leading the adult flagship hospital, where the one thing they don't do is the one thing she was trained in. Laurie and Kelly met at the Women Business Leaders Conference, where Kelly spoke about complexity in healthcare today. Topics Covered: - From Wall Street in the late 80s to nursing school on loans — a second career with no roadmap - Why Kelly said yes to every tap on the shoulder, and the Plan B mindset that made her fearless - Why women wait to check every box before saying yes — and why she never did - The move from New Jersey to Peoria, Illinois, and convincing a resistant leadership team with data - Recruiting physicians to middle America — and why they stayed - Interviewing for the Winnie Palmer presidency while on vacation in Fort Lauderdale - Why she puts on scrubs in every role: answering phones, filling water jugs, showing the team she cares - Walking into a Level 1 Trauma Center as a mom-baby nurse — and why not knowing made her a better leader - Four years in, every member of her original team is still there or has been promoted - "The keeper of the culture": what a hospital president actually does - Why her team members — not patients — are the most important people in the building - Move fast, fail fast: why healthcare's caution can leave patients behind - Transforming a large, tactical board into a smaller, strategic, deliberately diverse one - The patient suicide that shook her — and the board meeting where she cried, said "I'm not doing well," and was met with open arms - Her advice to senior women executives: you're not perfect, no one expects you to be, and vulnerability will serve you Kelly's story is proof that the path to the top doesn't require a pedigree — it requires the courage to say yes before you feel ready, the humility to learn from the experts around you, and the heart to never lose sight of who you're serving. As she puts it: "We're not perfect. We're just people trying to do a good job every day. Be open about that, and you will be just fine." Inspiring Women is hosted by Laurie McGraw, Chief Commercial Officer at Transcarent, former SVP of the American Medical Association, former President of Allscripts, and a 30-year healthcare executive committed to advancing women into leadership.

Send us Fan MailEighty-one percent of physicians are already using AI in practice, more than double the rate from just three years ago. The tools are moving faster than the rules, and nobody has agreed on who gets to write them.Dr. John Whyte, CEO of the American Medical Association, joins hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll to discuss why the medical community needs to lead the conversation on AI guardrails rather than wait for Washington to catch up, and why the most urgent regulatory question right now involves AI chatbots in mental health, where one in six American adults are already using them with no meaningful oversight in place.

The president of the American Medical Association became the patient after being diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, immediate past president of the AMA, joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about how his diagnosis changed the way he sees health care, medicine, prevention, access, and the patient experience. Dr. Mukkamala opens up about being diagnosed with a grade 2 astrocytoma, the shock of seeing an eight-centimeter brain tumor on his scan, and what it felt like to suddenly experience the health care system from the other side of the exam room. He also reflects on the extraordinary care he received at Mayo Clinic and the difficult reality that most people do not have access to that same level of care. The conversation also explores the crushing cost of medication, including a new treatment that can cost nearly $900 per day, and why medical bills remain such a devastating burden for so many families. Chuck and Dr. Mukkamala also discuss lifestyle medicine, plant-based nutrition, the future of health care, dietary guidelines, health equity, and why progress can still be powerful even when perfection is not realistic. This interview was recorded at the Lotus Health Foundation Symposium in Rochester, Minnesota, just days before Chuck's major surgery at Mayo Clinic. At the time of the conversation, Dr. Mukkamala was still serving as president of the American Medical Association. Topics discussed include: What happens when a doctor becomes the patient Brain tumor diagnosis and recovery The emotional impact of serious illness Health care access and inequality The high cost of prescription medication Mayo Clinic and world-class care Lifestyle medicine and disease prevention Plant-based nutrition and health The role of doctors in improving public health Why progress over perfection matters Exam Roomies of the Week Carol Kimsey MJ Donahue Tomi Gail Lemmen Make a gift to support The Exam Room Podcast and the life-changing work of the Physicians Committee: PCRM.org/SupportExamRoom
