In this episode of the Health Accelerator, Regan Archibald explores the evolving landscape of peptide therapies, highlighting the growing interest in peptides that extend beyond weight management and into broader longevity and performance research. The discussion covers the regulatory environment surrounding peptide compounding, the importance of obtaining peptides through licensed pharmacies, and an overview of several emerging peptides—including SS-31, MOTS-c, Pinealon, Epitalon, and Thymosin Alpha-1—and the biological pathways they are being studied for, such as mitochondrial function, metabolic signaling, circadian rhythms, immune regulation, and cellular aging. Regan also emphasizes a comprehensive approach to healthy aging that combines laboratory testing, personalized care, daily lifestyle habits, and professional guidance, while encouraging listeners to focus on consistent movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and long-term health optimization.As of July 15th, we're taking a summer break from our normal schedule of HACs and Interviews! So there won't be new Podcast episodes during that time. We'll be back in action in September with live calls every week (that all can join!), and great Podcast content. RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldBlog: https://agelessfuture.com/learn/?e=newsletterArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

Item analysis can sound intimidating, especially for educators who were trained as clinicians first and teachers second. But when used well, it can become one of the most valuable tools for improving assessments, clarifying instruction, and supporting student success. In this episode of Airway Exchange, hosts Erin and Louisa welcome in Valerie Diaz, DNP, CRNA, PMHNP-BC, APRN, CNE, CHSE, FAANA, CAPT (Ret), USN and Pedro Hernandez, DNP, CRNA, APRN to break down the importance of item analysis, a topic they presented at AANA's EDGE event earlier this year. Just as CRNAs constantly refine their clinical practice, educators should continually evaluate, reflect, and improve the tools they use to assess learning. Better assessments lead to better education. Better education ultimately leads to better patient care. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

"What I appreciate about our patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic leukemia is the consideration that they receive a cancer diagnosis, and the best thing for them to do is actually nothing. There is a large population of patients that we don't recommend any type of treatment. We recommend that they establish care with an oncologist and that they have a relationship with those care teams," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about an overview of CLL for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the common risk factors are environmental exposures, occupational exposures, and chemical exposures. For example, in certain farming communities where there are pesticides, that can definitely contribute to the risk of developing CLL. There's some consideration for high levels of radon exposure or exposure to Agent Orange. So our veterans, both from the Vietnam War but also more recently in Iraq. There's definitely a consideration that those types of exposures increase the risk of developing CLL." TS 3:01 "Generally, the average age of diagnosis for CLL is in the seventh decade of life. But over 90% of people are diagnosed at age 50 and above. So, this tends to be a diagnosis in the six or seventh decade of life. It's extremely rare in children, although it has been observed, and it's twice as likely to develop in men than it is compared to women. And then individuals who are White are more frequently affected by CLL than other racial or ethnic groups, followed by people of color. And that includes Black, Hispanic, and Native American individuals, but it's rarer in Asian populations." TS 9:33  "There's a lot of adjustment and coping with a new diagnosis. When we think about the diagnostic approach, we get a lot of information that's incredibly valuable and helps us really to pivot and guide patients as to where they need to go and how we can best support them. We've had well-established studies that look to say, 'If we were to treat patients earlier or have different thresholds for consideration for treatment, do patients do better?' ... I think it's really great that we can actually guide patients in a much more precise way, that you don't need any type of therapy at this point, and it may change and evolve in the future." TS 20:29 "I have some patients that are doers and they want to do something, so this active surveillance or watch and wait really paralyzes their coping. And so they want to do something. Oftentimes, that's really when I pull in some integrative strategies and say exercise is always going to be beneficial. The more active you are, the more physically fit you are. If you really want to do something, make sure that you stay hydrated, that you eat well, and you're engaged in a physical activity that you enjoy and can be consistent with." TS 32:37 "I think another piece that we don't often discuss is around the immunoglobulins and the immune system, but CLL has a pretty significant impact on immune dysfunction. And so patients with CLL, even if they are not on any type of active treatment, their immune system doesn't necessarily function fully. And so they're more likely to develop some upper respiratory infections or more easily develop the flu or coronavirus. ... Often times, we think a lot about supporting patients to get vaccines and to have early evaluation if those symptoms develop because you're more likely to develop upper respiratory infections. I think there's a component around immune dysfunction that I think is really valuable for people to understand that it's not contingent upon the treatment. It's contingent upon the disease and mechanistically, how the B cells are dysfunctional and don't provide that immunity that otherwise would be in a healthy B cell." TS 42:54

Episode Summary For thirty years, neonatal nurse practitioner Tara Sundem watched newborns go through opioid withdrawal under bright lights, separated from their mothers, and for a long time she believed those mothers had brought it on themselves. Then she learned what she had been missing, and she set out to build the opposite of what she had been part of. As co-founder and executive director of Hushabye Nursery in Phoenix, she now cares for substance-exposed babies and their mothers together, treating the two as one patient. She talks with host Micaela Tracy about the night a baby in withdrawal changed her mind, why dignity is a clinical intervention and not a nicety, how she partners with the Department of Child Safety instead of against it, and what families navigating addiction and recovery actually need. Her message holds for anyone who has ever judged a parent from the outside: this is a brain disease, not a choice, and the earliest moments of a child's life can shape everything that follows.

The Diagnosis Your Doctor Is Too Afraid to Make You've been depressed, exhausted, foggy, and in pain for years. You've tried the antidepressants. You've done the workups. Everything comes back normal. But you are not normal. You are not well. And nobody can tell you why. What if it's Lyme? Dr. Terri sits down with Pamela Cipriano, DNP, APRN — a functional medicine and Lyme disease specialist who trained under one of the country's leading Lyme experts — to have the conversation most conventional doctors won't. From a teenager who spent two years in a psychiatric facility before anyone thought to test him for Lyme, to the political reality that doctors in Texas can be reported to their board just for making the diagnosis — this episode exposes why one of the most common tick-borne diseases in the country is also one of the most misdiagnosed. The symptoms of Lyme overlap almost perfectly with depression, anxiety, hormone imbalance, autoimmune disease, and neurological disorders. That's not a coincidence. It's a diagnostic crisis. If you've been chasing answers and hitting walls, this episode is for you. What you'll discover: Why the standard two-tier Lyme test misses the majority of cases and what patients should be asking for instead [12:23] How Lyme can hide in the body for decades before a stressful event triggers full-blown symptoms [06:09] The teenager misdiagnosed with a psychiatric disorder who spent two years institutionalized before anyone tested him for Lyme [20:19] Why doctors in Texas risk board complaints just for diagnosing Lyme disease and what that means for medical freedom [08:18] How Lyme symptoms overlap with hormone deficiency, creating a compounding diagnostic blind spot [31:15] Co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia: what they are, why most doctors aren't testing for them, and how they change the treatment picture [28:15] The connection between Lyme, mold toxicity, and chronic illness and why the best providers look at all of it together [33:47] How to find a provider trained to properly test and treat Lyme when only a few hundred specialists exist in the entire country [39:14] You are not crazy. You are not anxious. You may just not have the right diagnosis yet.

"We typically think of the disease progressing for our higher-risk patients because many of them already start with increased blasts or a lot of dysplasia. And they have these chromosomal variants that make them prone to evolving into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With them, we can anticipate that they are going to progress to AML. And that's what we're trying to prevent. It's kind of like a biologic evolution and not a switch," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN®, nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about long-term myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "When our higher-risk patients have disease-related progression, their [malignancy] can transform to AML. And we know this occurs in about one-third of our patients and is one of the most serious late effects. Even in lower-risk disease, we have this worsening marrow failure with or without increasing blast, where [patients] may have just started out with anemia, then they also develop neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. And as those counts worsen, we usually know that their disease is progressing." TS 2:47 "The golden rule is looking at the blood count but also looking at the patient and how they're doing over time. The backbone of MDS monitoring is the complete blood cell count with the differential. What you're looking for is trends over time. How many units of blood are they receiving, what threshold are you going to transfuse them at, and how many units of blood are they getting at a time? ... And then paying attention to the absolute neutrophil count for infection risk. [Another] really important piece of when you look at the differential with patients is seeing if they have any abnormal cell counts. Do they have circulating blasts? Are those monocytes going up? If you start to see blasts circulating or increasing monocytes, then their disease could be changing, even if they have low-risk disease." TS 15:58 "For lower-risk disease, we're paying more attention to their quality of life, how the patient's tolerating therapy, trying to help them stay safe over the long haul, and starting them on iron chelation if it matches that patient and they can have access to those drugs. ... For higher-risk disease, if the patient's goal is to be cured and not to progress to AML, you want to get them to transplant if that's [also] one of their goals. If they do evolve into AML, try and see what treatment matches best for them." TS 22:28 "You want to start early for patients who have febrile neutropenia—that's really important when a patient is an hour or two away from a center where they can get started on antibiotics. So, you have to think outside the box. What can we do to keep them safe? ... I know this group in Alaska that's in our advisory meetings and they try to facilitate transportation to Seattle. That's the closest academic center to them. Collaborating with telemedicine appointments, starting earlier, developing that strong relationship with patients, and contacting them between visits [can help patients living in rural areas]." TS 25:22 "I think the biggest [psychosocial challenge] I see is a lot of unmet anxiety and depression counseling. A lot of times, [patients are] losing their place in their family because they're the ones that need all the help now. Also, the uncertainty that goes along with the diagnosis. There is communication skills counseling, and End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) has a lot of training for communication skills and how to really talk to patients. Not that we take the place of a psychologist, but just being able to talk to somebody can go a long way. And if we can get training for that, we can help more patients." TS 31:15

GLP-1 medications have become one of the most talked-about tools in health and weight loss, but are we having the right conversation? In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Stivers, a Family Nurse Practitioner with a background in both primary care and nutrition-focused health optimization, to discuss the realities of GLP-1 medications.Together, we explore: Who GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for, and who they may not be  The risks of chasing rapid weight loss without addressing underlying health  Muscle loss, metabolism, and long-term body composition concerns  Why nutrition, strength training, and lifestyle habits still matter  What patients need to know before starting, during use, and when coming off these medications  The unintended downstream side effects of these medications**This is not a pro-GLP-1 or anti-GLP-1 conversation. It's a nuanced discussion about informed decision-making, sustainable health, and helping people understand the full picture before they jump on the latest trends. Follow Olivia on IG: @ewellness_officeVisit Elivate Wellness online: https://www.elivatewellness.com/ Ready to go deeper?If you're a woman over 40 who feels like you're doing everything right, but your body still isn't responding the way it used to...this is exactly the work I do.My coaching is built around identifying what's keeping your body stuck, rebuilding the environment your hormones need to function, and creating a strategy you can actually execute long enough for it to work.You don't need more random inputs.You need a body that can respond to the right ones.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!Join me on Instagram!

A broken heart is never just emotional—it can become deeply physical. Nurse practitioner Jessica Love shares her powerful journey from ICU nurse to patient after experiencing stress-induced cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome," during her clinical training. What began as subtle symptoms of fatigue and chest pressure quickly escalated into a life-threatening cardiac event, reshaping everything she thought she knew about stress, health, and healing.  Her recovery became a turning point, shifting her focus from treating disease in the ICU to preventing it through whole-person care. In this conversation with Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza, Jessica explores how chronic stress impacts the heart, why women's symptoms are often missed, and how nervous system regulation, awareness, and daily habits can transform long-term heart health.  Key Takeaways:   Broken heart syndrome can occur unexpectedly when chronic or emotional stress overwhelms the body, even in young and healthy individuals.   Stress often shows up physically before it is emotionally recognized, with symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and reduced energy.   The heart and nervous system are deeply connected, meaning emotional regulation directly influences cardiovascular health and resilience.   Women's heart symptoms are frequently subtle and can be overlooked, making awareness of early warning signs especially important.   Daily practices like gratitude, movement, sleep, nutrition, and nervous system regulation can significantly support long-term heart health and prevention.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

"When you have benign conditions, we're actually treating 3 gray, so a significant difference [versus doses of 60 gray for brain cancer]. Typically, when you treat at a high dose, the goal is to destroy tissue, like cancer tissue or cancer cells. But when we give a low dose, the goal is actually to modulate inflammation. And what it does is it slows down those inflammatory cells or those cells that release the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation," Amanda Meyer, DNP, APRN, CNP, family nurse practitioner in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation therapy for noncancer indications.

Highlights From This Episode "We always typically think of it as cancer treatment, but we can use radiation for noncancerous conditions, as well. And radiation was actually used for benign diseases right after the discovery of x-rays. By the 1920s it was used a lot for different types of musculoskeletal, dermatologic issues, and different types of inflammatory conditions. And over time, since the 1920s, we've actually really gotten a really good understanding of it." TS 1:37 "When we're looking at what are good candidate characteristics, we do typically like older patients, so patients over the age of 65. And the rationale behind that is we know that there is a potential for a secondary risk of a skin cancer about 20 to 30 years after getting low-dose radiation, like a basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer. The older the patient is, the less likely they are to have any adverse effects from that." TS 8:22 "When we do the low-dose radiation, they've tried other measures that haven't been successful. However, we don't want a patient who is so severe that they're ready for surgery, when they're bone on bone, because we know that radiation isn't as effective when they are that severe. So there's this sweet window where low-dose radiation works best in these patients." TS 9:39 "When we're treating with a little bit higher dose for like a Dupuytren's or a Ledderhose, because it's an anti-proliferative dose, those patients, they do get more skin redness, more dry skin. That's very temporary, and it resolves within a week or two after treatment. But really, we don't see any acute side effects. The long-term side effect of the radiation-induced malignancy, again, is a very low—0.05% according to some of the European guidelines." TS 12:34 "I really wish people appreciated how interdisciplinary this is. We need to get referrals from family medicine and from primary care and internal medicine and pain medicine physicians and inflammatory physicians and podiatry and pain specialists. And we really need to use this multidisciplinary approach to get earlier referrals for patients because there is this sweet window of time where low-dose radiation works the best." TS 18:40

In this episode, the host introduces Muse cells, a recently identified subset of naturally occurring reparative cells associated with stem cell research and regenerative science. The discussion explains how these cells are found within tissues like bone marrow and umbilical cord sources, and how researchers are working to isolate and study their unique properties, including their responsiveness to signals related to stress or tissue damage. The conversation also highlights ongoing areas of investigation—such as neurology, orthopedics, and cardiovascular research—while emphasizing that much of the current understanding is still emerging. Overall, the episode presents Muse cells as a developing area of interest within the broader field of regenerative medicine and longevity-focused research.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

"We want to make sure that we discuss the details of the treatment and what treatments there are, whether it's an oral drug, whether it's a subcutaneous injection or an IV injection, [the patient's] potential for responding, whether this treatment is curative or supportive, and what the number of visits are. All of those different pieces of information that go into the decision-making process are really important," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN®, nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) treatment considerations.

Highlights From This Episode "The goals that I try to consolidate to make sure they're consistent with the patient's goals are to improve their counts, especially the anemia or cytopenias. If they're getting blood transfusions, we want to reduce the number of transfusions that they receive because we know that's linked to reduced overall survival, and it really impacts quality of life. ... And then for high-risk patients, it's a more serious discussion because we know that they are the ones who can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). And we're trying to delay progression to AML. That means we're trying to improve their survival and we're also trying to manage their cytopenias and decrease their infection risk." TS 2:28 "If we look at approvals for low-risk disease and high-risk disease, those were really made based on the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) and sometimes the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS). Under those classification systems, when we think of lower-risk MDS, we think of patients who are primarily anemic but don't have increased blasts in their bone marrow. ... For higher-risk MDS, we want to have that discussion with those patients because their life expectancy is much shorter than patients with lower-risk MDS. We want to see if hematopoietic stem cell transplant would be something that they would be interested in if they don't have a lot of comorbidities and are relatively healthy." TS 11:41 "There are a lot of things to consider—[patients'] blood counts, comorbidities, whether they're frail, and what their goals are. There are some patients where there's no way they would want to go through transplant. And some patients want to be cured, so it just depends on your patient." TS 14:22 "I think of hematopoietic allogeneic transplants as a treatment for more of the patients with higher-risk MDS. ... With the Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M), a patient can have pretty good blood counts and not have increased blasts in the bone marrow. You could send them for a transplant referral upfront without having to give them additional treatment. ... There is a recent publication that said if a patient doesn't have more than 10% blast, you could refer to transplant as a first option. ... Also, if you had a lower-risk patient who is relatively young and doesn't have any other treatment options, this would also be a patient that you could refer to transplant to see if we could care for them, and then they wouldn't have to be getting transfused all the time." TS 21:12 "I think that we often think low-risk, no treatment needed, but it depends on the person. They often need ongoing supportive care to manage their symptoms even if they're not getting treatment. And just because we're not treating them, active observation, bringing them in to see how they're doing, if they've had infections, if their blood counts are changing, that is paying attention to them and doing something. Just because they're low-risk doesn't mean they don't need anything and we can just schedule for a one-year follow-up." TS 26:30
