In this episode of Future of Fitness, host Eric Malzone sits down with Dr. Tania Elliott—board-certified physician, three-time Chief Medical Officer, and a leading voice in healthcare innovation—to break down the collision course between the fitness industry and the future of preventative health. Dr. Elliott doesn't hold back: she calls out the fitness world for being too intense or too dainty, challenges the gatekeeping role of primary care, and paints a vivid picture of what the health club of the future should really look like. From the over-reliance on protocols and biohacking to the untapped power of community, nutrition, and strength training for women, this conversation is a bold, no-BS look at how fitness can evolve from a destination into a way of life. If you're ready to rethink everything you know about health, wellness, and the role of gyms in healthcare, this one's for you.

What if your ring knew you were getting sick before you did and could one day monitor chronic conditions around the clock? In this episode, Dr. Ricky Bloomfield, Chief Medical Officer of Oura, explores how continuous health monitoring with wearable devices is shifting health care from reactive treatment to early prevention. The Oura Ring can detect illness days before symptoms appear, from COVID to lymphoma to appendicitis, because earlier diagnosis can make all the difference. Rings are becoming the wearable of choice. By tracking meaningful metrics such as cardiovascular age and cumulative stress scores, people can act on what they see, adjusting diet, exercise and sleep habits and watching their health improve. Finally, Dr. Bloomfield unpacks what it will take for wearable data to be meaningfully integrated into clinical care. He also explores how AI is transforming the health care landscape, from Oura Advisor, an AI-powered tool that lets users query and understand their own health data, to AI-generated summaries designed to highlight the most important and actionable insights for doctors.

As a country, we're living longer than ever before. The average life expectancy in the United States is now 79 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But how are we doing when we get to our golden years? In Ohio, the answer is not necessarily the best, according to the latest America's Health Rankings Senior Report. This study from The United Health Foundation ranked Ohio 36th in the country in overall health for seniors. Some major concerns include suicide rates, drug related deaths, poverty and food insecurity concerns and levels of physical activity. When you add in concerns about mental function and emotional wellbeing, there's a lot to think about as we age. On Tuesday's edition of the "Sound of Ideas," we're looking at what we can do in our younger years to try to maintain our mental, emotional and physical health for as long as our bodies will let us. Guests: - Gary Grosel, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of Ohio - Lester Carney, age 92, Olympic athlete who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy - Robert Bermel, M.D., Staff Neurologist, Neurological Institute's Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Cleveland Clinic - Roopa Anmolsingh, M.D., Lead Geriatrician for Community Programs, Cleveland Clinic

On this episode host Raj Sundar sits down with Dr. Evans, CEO, Chief Medical Officer, and co-founder of the Wellness Equity Alliance, to explore how trust is built with historically marginalized communities in healthcare. They trace his journey from international humanitarian crises to leading vaccine distribution and street medicine initiatives in the U.S., digging into the intersections of operational efficiency, health equity, and the imperative for wellness—not just disease prevention. Together, they discuss the importance of understanding patients' full social histories, culturally responsive practices, and the role of branding in building institutional trust. They challenge the politicization of public health, examine the roots of distrust and trauma in marginalized communities, and call for clinicians to think creatively, form cross-sector partnerships, and unite in the face of systemic challenges to rebuild equitable systems of care.

Join Maria Gaitanidou, Co-Founder and CEO of Hati Health, for a deep dive into the financial and operational mechanics redefining healthcare access across Southeast Asia. In a region where nearly 40% of medical spending is paid entirely out-of-pocket, the historic hurdle isn't a lack of consumer willingness to pay—it is a hyper-fragmented, opaque, and physically inaccessible ecosystem. Drawing from her extensive career at the absolute frontier of Southeast Asia's digital finance and banking revolution, Maria is applying fintech orchestration principles to the healthcare sector. In this episode, we explore how Hati Health is constructing a unified marketplace layer that connects millions of patients to 160+ partner networks without owning a single brick-and-mortar clinic.

Ketamine Therapy, MDMA, Psilocybin, and the Science of Psychedelic Assisted Healing Most people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma have never felt safe in their nervous system, and the treatments they have been prescribed are making that worse. This episode breaks down the neuroscience of psychedelic therapy, why ketamine is the safest and most accessible starting point, how MDMA triggers a BDNF dependent pathway that repairs trauma all the way down to the epigenetic code, and why your antidepressant may be blocking the very brain states required for real healing. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Order Dr. Rabin's Book ‘A Simple Guide to Being Alive': https://apolloneuro.com/pages/a-simple-guide-to-being-alive Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, a senior research scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, and co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Neuroscience. Dr. Rabin received his MD and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has spent 20 years studying chronic stress and non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant illness, and his primary research on MDMA assisted therapy for severe PTSD has demonstrated that trauma can be reversed at the epigenetic level, offering a genuine path to a cure. His upcoming book A Simple Guide to Being Alive publishes June 1, 2026 and is a science-backed manual for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the modern world. Dave and Dr. Rabin break down why nearly 50% of people prescribed psychiatric medication never achieve remission, why SSRIs and SNRIs physically block the brain states required for emotional healing, and why the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after three trials showed an 88% response rate. They dig into the exact BDNF pathway that makes MDMA and ketamine so transformative, how psychedelics amplify safety learning in the amygdala at the molecular level, and why trauma passes down up to 14 generations through epigenetic code that can now be measured and repaired. They also cover why your breathing rate at the doctor's office is already a stress signal nobody is reading, how your smartphone puts your nervous system into a chronic fear state before you even get out of bed, and why ketamine is the right starting point for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy right now. You'll Learn: Why nearly 50% of psychiatric patients never get better and what treatment-resistant actually means How ketamine therapy works, why it is legal in every state, and why it is the safest place to start The exact BDNF pathway through which MDMA repairs fear extinction in the amygdala How MDMA assisted therapy produces measurable epigenetic repair of the cortisol receptor gene damaged by trauma Why SSRIs and SNRIs block the insula mediated brain states required for real emotional healing Why combining serotonergic psychedelics with SSRIs puts you at risk of life-threatening serotonin syndrome Why trauma passes down up to 14 generations and what you can do to stop the cycle now Why smartphones put your nervous system into a toxic overstimulation state before the day even starts How the FDA rejected MDMA therapy after 88% of patients responded and who paid to make that happen Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | If you want to take the guesswork out of maintaining high NAD+ levels as you age, go to www.qualialife.com/daveNAD to get clinically proven Qualia NAD+ backed by a 100 day money back guarantee and code DAVENAD at checkout gets you an extra 15% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - OneSkin | For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off at oneskin.co/DAVE. - LMNT | Right now you can get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at drinkLMNT.com/dave Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Vertical jump improved by over three centimetres in elite soccer players after just six weeks, simply by targeting one overlooked part of cellular biology: the mitochondria. Angela Foster talks with Dr Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline, about the science of mitophagy, the process that clears out dysfunctional mitochondria, and how the clinically studied compound urolithin A supports it. They walk through real clinical trial data spanning soccer players, elite weightlifters and Olympic-level runners, with a particular focus on findings in women, exploring measurable gains in strength, power and recovery markers like reduced muscle damage and perceived effort. Listeners will learn why mitochondrial renewal takes weeks rather than days to show up, what it actually means when energy dips after stopping supplementation and rebounds on restarting, and why this matters especially for women navigating perimenopause, when recovery and inflammation can shift noticeably. Tune in to understand what's really happening at the cellular level behind your energy and recovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand mitochondrial health as a three-stage cycle: biogenesis (creating new mitochondria), fission and fusion (making existing ones more efficient), and mitophagy (clearing out dysfunctional ones). Neglecting that final clearance step is, as Dr Singh puts it, like never taking the garbage out of a cluttered house. Expect mitochondrial and performance benefits to build gradually rather than instantly. Clinical studies show improved mitochondrial health in muscle tissue after one month, with measurable strength and power gains showing up after two to four months, so don't judge a mitochondria-targeted intervention by how you feel after a week. Pay attention to recovery markers, not just strength numbers, when evaluating training interventions. In a four-week study with elite runners, those taking mitopure showed lower rate of perceived exertion and lower creatine kinase, a muscle damage marker, suggesting easier recovery rather than just raw performance gains. Try a deliberate break from a supplement or intervention to gauge whether it's actually working for you. Both Angela and Dr Singh independently noticed an energy dip after stopping urolithin A supplementation, which is a practical way to separate real effect from placebo. Look for research that specifically includes women, since women are historically underrepresented in supplement and performance studies. Timeline's trials run roughly two-thirds female participants, which matters for understanding how recovery and inflammation patterns shift during phases like perimenopause. STANDOUT QUOTES "If we have a super cluttered house, there's only so much we can do to improve it. At one point, we've got to take out the garbage." — Dr Anurag Singh "Rome wasn't built in a day." — Dr Anurag Singh "It's the only thing we know outside of exercise and fasting that hits that mitochondria specific autophagy." — Dr Anurag Singh "I feel like I can do everything and have fun with my kids." — Angela Foster "That's the reason we're doing all this, right? It's our life. We want to live it healthily, fully." — Dr Anurag Singh VALUABLE RESOURCES •  Take the BioSyncing Quiz to help you understand what's actually happening in your body and how to fix it.

Traditional clinical interviews can have up to a 50% variance in ADHD diagnosis, leaving the door wide open for implicit bias.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in hormone replacement therapy: estradiol. Not all estrogen is the same—and how estradiol is delivered can dramatically affect hormone balance, inflammation, clotting risk, testosterone levels, and overall health outcomes. Dr. McCarthy discusses: • Why route of administration matters (oral, patch, injectable, topical, vaginal, pellet) • How oral estradiol converts to estrone • The differences between estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estriol (E3) • Estrone's relationship to inflammation and metabolic health • Oral estrogen and clotting risk • Oral estrogen's effect on SHBG and free testosterone • The impact of oral estrogen on IGF-1 and growth hormone signaling • Why informed consent should be central to hormone therapy • Benefits and limitations of pellets, patches, creams, and injections • Estriol and emerging research in autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis At Protea Medical Center, our philosophy is simple: patients deserve complete information so they can make empowered decisions about their health.

Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

About Bright Spots Ventures: Bright Spots Ventures exists to help healthcare organizations accelerate the adoption of what's actually working.   Healthcare does not suffer from a lack of innovation. It suffers from slow adoption, fragmented learning, and limited trust between stakeholders. For example, one health plan or provider may solve a major operational or clinical challenge while others spend the next 5–10 years rediscovering the same answer.   We close that gap by creating trusted environments where health plans, providers, and innovators can share practical strategies, operational lessons, and scalable models that drive measurable improvement.   Through the Bright Spots in Healthcare podcast, leadership councils, executive roundtables, curated events, and strategic advisory work, we help organizations build credibility, strengthen strategic relationships, and accelerate the spread of proven ideas across healthcare.

Are you suffering from chronic "adult tiredness," or wondering why you immediately get sick the second you finally go on vacation? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician, specialist in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and leader in health optimization medicine. We are doing a massive deep dive into the true powerhouse of your cells: the mitochondria. With only 6% of the US population having optimized mitochondrial function, it is no wonder so many of us are completely exhausted. Dr. Sherr explains why the traditional approach to feeling better is backward, revealing why you must fix your cellular energy before trying to lower your stress and anxiety. We also talk about a fascinating synthetic compound called methylene blue. Dr. Sherr explores how taking it via buccal troches can hack jet lag, eliminate brain fog, and safely jumpstart your biological system. Plus, we cover the real science of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and why your skin is actually your "reverse gut".Guest Information: Dr. Scott Sherr is the Chief Medical Officer of Troscriptions and One Base Health.

In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Brad Schoffstall, Vice President of Health and Compliance Programs at CGI, and Dr. James Peake, Senior Vice President and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Army Surgeon General. They have a wide-ranging and practical conversation about what it actually takes to modernize data infrastructure at federal health agencies. With Brad's 35 years at CGI and Dr. Peake's 16 years, this is a conversation grounded in hard-won experience rather than theory. Today's conversation is a refreshingly honest and deeply practical perspective for anyone working at the intersection of government, healthcare, and AI.  In this episode, they talk about: Federal health agencies are running some of the largest healthcare operations in the world, with the VA equivalent in size to a Fortune 5 company Data silos created by contract-by-contract procurement are the primary barrier to AI-ready infrastructure at federal agencies Federated data platforms allow data to stay in its own repositories while being discoverable, mappable, and usable across the organization Policy is often the biggest obstacle to data sharing, and changing it requires executive-level support and shared governance Technology is the third most important factor in transformation; policy and business understanding come first and second CGI improved NHS Spine performance tenfold while reducing infrastructure to a tenth of its original size, saving a million euros in annual expenses Improper payments across federal health programs run into billions of dollars annually and represent one of the highest-impact areas for AI-driven improvement AI for AI's sake is not the answer; start with the business problem and work backward to the data strategy Start small with two or three systems, demonstrate value, and build from there rather than attempting a massive all-at-once implementation A Little About Brad and James: Brad Schoffstall has wide-ranging experience, deep knowledge, and skills in information technology. He has led multiple digital transformation efforts. He has 37 years of experience with a diverse set of architectures, operating systems, languages, and technologies. His experience includes enterprise architecture, cloud migration, and hands-on development. He also has significant experience in business development and project management.

Overview: We sit down with Dr. Evans, CEO, Chief Medical Officer, and co-founder of the Wellness Equity Alliance, to explore how trust is built with historically marginalized communities in healthcare. We trace his journey from international humanitarian crises to leading vaccine distribution and street medicine initiatives in the U.S., digging into the intersections of operational efficiency, health equity, and the imperative for wellness—not just disease prevention. Together, we discuss the importance of understanding patients' full social histories, culturally responsive practices, and the role of branding in building institutional trust. We challenge the politicization of public health, examine the roots of distrust and trauma in marginalized communities, and call for clinicians to think creatively, form cross-sector partnerships, and unite in the face of systemic challenges to rebuild equitable systems of care. Three Takeaways: 1. Building Trust Requires Concrete, Ongoing Actions Trust in healthcare, especially with historically marginalized communities, isn't achieved by grand gestures but through small, consistent acts—like greeting patients in their native language, deep dives into their social histories, and intentionally leaving the white coat behind to signal approachability. These deliberate choices help disarm skepticism and make patients feel seen and respected 2. Talking about health equity isn't enough. Real progress demands operational systems that prioritize efficiency while centering equity. Relying solely on passion or “feel-good” projects fails marginalized populations; instead, balancing efficiency with access and sustainability is critical for lasting impact 3) Rebuilding Healthcare Will Require Broad, Cross-Sectoral Collaboration A radical rebuild of public health and healthcare systems can't rely on clinicians alone. Collaboration across tech, finance, pharma, and beyond is necessary to imagine and operationalize scalable, sustainable models that serve everyone—especially those currently left behind.

Clinical trials save lives but why does it often take years before a study can enroll its first patient? In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, Dr. Khalil Diab sits down with oncologist, physician executive, author, and Chief Medical Officer of Ryght AI, Chadi Nabhan, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming clinical trial site selection, feasibility assessments, and study activation. Dr. Nabhan explains why so many clinical trials struggle with enrollment, how traditional site selection methods often rely on relationships rather than data, and how AI-powered "digital site twins" may help identify the best-performing research centers worldwide. The discussion also explores the future of clinical research, reducing trial delays, increasing diversity in enrollment, and accelerating access to life-saving therapies. Topics discussed include: ✅ Why clinical trials often take 10–12 years to complete ✅ The hidden costs of poor site selection ✅ How AI-powered site twins work ✅ Clinical trial feasibility and site activation ✅ Enrollment prediction and trial performance ✅ Community practices vs academic medical centers ✅ Diversity, equity, and bias in AI-driven research ✅ The future of AI in clinical trials and drug development ✅ How faster trials could bring treatments to patients sooner Whether you're a physician, researcher, clinical trial professional, healthcare executive, or simply interested in the future of medicine, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how AI may reshape clinical research for years to come.

After 16 episodes exploring food, metabolism, cravings, and health, Dr. Brendan McCarthy shares the most important lesson of all: Your body is not broken. Too often, health conversations focus on calories, diets, lab results, and willpower. But lasting change isn't just about what you eat—it's about understanding why you eat, what your body is responding to, and replacing shame with compassion. In this powerful conclusion to the series, Dr. McCarthy reflects on years of working with women who have been told they are the problem, only to discover that healing begins when someone finally listens. In this episode: ✔ Why comfort foods affect more than hunger ✔ How food impacts brain chemistry and emotional regulation ✔ The hidden reason diets often fail long-term ✔ Why shame keeps people stuck in unhealthy cycles ✔ The importance of self-compassion and sustainable change ✔ "We don't attack the person. We repair the protocol." If you've ever felt frustrated by your health journey, struggled with food cravings, or blamed yourself for not being able to "stick with it," this episode is for you.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more. If you're ready to take your health seriously, this podcast is a great place to start.

Synopsis: While biotech is increasingly measured by clinical milestones and financial outcomes, Rahul Chaturvedi welcomes two leaders who argue that true success begins and ends with patients. In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, Mike Raab, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ardelyx, and Laura Williams, Chief Patient Officer, share how empathy, resilience, and patient advocacy have shaped both their careers and the culture of the company they've built. Mike reflects on an unconventional journey that spans pharmaceutical sales, rare disease leadership at Genzyme, venture capital at NEA, and ultimately leading Ardelyx through some of biotech's most difficult challenges—including a Complete Response Letter, massive layoffs, and a historic FDA reversal that resulted in approval without additional clinical trials. Laura shares her path from rural Mississippi to becoming a physician, recounting the transformative patient experience during the HIV epidemic that inspired her move from academia into industry and ultimately into a pioneering Chief Patient Officer role. Together, they explore what patient-centricity truly means beyond corporate slogans, how Ardelyx embedded patient advocacy into the C-suite, and why empathy must be a core competency for biotech leadership. The discussion also dives into clinical trial diversity, commercializing therapies for underserved populations, navigating regulatory adversity, responsible capital allocation, and the future of building enduring biotech companies. It is a powerful reminder that when patients become the North Star, resilience, innovation, and impact naturally follow. Biography: Mike Raab Mike has served as Ardelyx's President and Chief Executive Officer since March 2009. Before Ardelyx, Mike was a partner at New Enterprise Associates (NEA), one of the world's largest and most successful venture capital firms, where he specialized in healthcare investments focusing on the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Prior to joining NEA in 2002, Mike spent 15 years in commercial and operating leadership roles in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. He was senior vice president, therapeutics and general manager of the renal division at Genzyme Corporation, a Sanofi company. In this position, Mike launched and oversaw the sales growth of sevelamer, the leading phosphate binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, with over $1.0 billion in worldwide sales in 2013. Mike was also instrumental in the worldwide launch of Genzyme's therapies for Gaucher disease, Ceredase and Cerezyme. Laura Williams, MD, MPH Laura has served as Ardelyx's Chief Patient Officer since 2025, having joined the company in November 2020 as Senior Vice President, Global Therapeutic Strategies and Patient Advocacy. Laura was later promoted to Chief Medical Officer in 2021. Laura is a life science enterprise leader with extensive experience as a pharmaceutical drug developer, healthcare policy advisor, patient advocate, and portfolio strategist.

Join host Eve Cunningham, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Cadence, in conversation with Brian Stein, MD, Vice President and Chief Quality Officer at Rush University System for Health. Rush is a leading academic health system in Chicago with a national reputation for quality — ranked in Vizient's top 10 among academic medical centers for 13 consecutive years and a six-time U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll honoree. In this episode, Drs. Eve and Brian explore how Rush has embedded quality into its organizational identity, what it takes to maintain consistent care in an academic medical center, and why remote patient monitoring became a strategic priority. Their conversation focuses on: How Rush treats quality as a brand differentiator rather than a compliance exercise — and the operational principles that make that sustainable Why academic medical centers face a unique quality challenge with trainee turnover every 2–4 years, and how tight processes compensate for that churn What made Rush an early adopter of remote patient monitoring, and the three-part filter Dr. Stein uses to evaluate any new technology Why patient retention on RPM surprised him more than the clinical outcomes — and what's driving long-term engagement How to think about short-term clinical wins versus long-term cost savings, and the payer misalignment that makes proving ROI difficult Where patient stratification is heading — matching the intensity of remote intervention to individual patient needs Where Rush is placing its bets on AI, from diagnostic radiology and pathology to virtual nursing and operational efficiency Dr. Stein is a partner of Cadence and not compensated for this podcast. Segments: [00:05] Introduction — Eve welcomes Dr. Stein to Cadence Conversations [00:39] Origin story — How research on administrative claims data led to a career in quality [04:02] Crew resource management — Team-based training and hardwired safety tools at Rush [05:46] Blood administration errors — How barcoding through Epic reduced a recurring safety issue [07:47] Quality as brand — Why Rush treats quality as a competitive differentiator, not a compliance exercise [09:47] Telling the quality story externally — CMS star ratings, US News rankings, and public credibility [11:36] Quality in an academic medical center — The trainee turnover challenge and why tight processes matter [14:52] Innovation and new care models — Why care beyond the walls became part of Rush's strategy [17:28] The case for RPM — Better outcomes, easier provider workflows, and not breaking the bank [20:34] What surprised him — Patient retention and engagement exceeded expectations [22:13] Evaluating the data — Blood pressure control, goal-directed therapy, and the cost-effectiveness question [24:30] Patient stratification — The future of high-touch vs. lighter-touch remote interventions [28:05] Research priorities — Short-term clinical wins vs. long-term cost savings and the payer challenge [31:50] Chronic disease as a lifetime journey — Why sustained engagement matters [33:09] AI at Rush — Augmented intelligence in radiology, pathology, virtual nursing, and access centers [36:23] Closing — Optimism grounded in a strong quality culture Key Takeaways: Quality becomes sustainable when it's treated as organizational brand identity, not a regulatory requirement — and when you make it easy for clinicians to do the right thing. Academic medical centers face a unique challenge: trainee turnover every 2–4 years means quality can't rely on individual education alone — it must be embedded in process and systems. The most surprising outcome of Rush's RPM journey was patient retention — patients stayed engaged for years in a program category where attrition is typically high. The future of remote care delivery is patient stratification: matching the intensity of the intervention (high-touch human + tech vs. lighter-touch tech-enabled) to the patient's needs. AI's near-term impact in health systems will be augmented intelligence — creating efficiency in diagnostics, operations, and access — not replacing clinical judgment.

According to the USDA, wheat ranks third after corn and soybeans with regard to its acreage, production, and farm receipts and is grown on roughly 37 million acres. Since its peak in 1981, wheat is now declining in acreage, down some 45 million acres which is perhaps the good news. Typically 1,000 acres in size, the average wheat farm is highly industrialized; as of 2020, some 150 different pesticides and herbicides were commonly sprayed on winter and spring wheat. Given the industrial scale of corn, soy, wheat, and cotton crops, heavy chemical usage of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides has become business as usual. Our guest in this show from 2023, Dr. William Davis, Cardiologist and Author of the books Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut [https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/about/], exposes the problem with our wheat addiction and has connected the dots between gut health and common modern ailments and complaints. He observed over 80% of the people in his cardiology medical practice were pre-diabetic or diabetic. In an effort to reduce blood sugars, he had patients remove all wheat products from their diet based on the simple fact that foods made of wheat flour raise blood sugar higher than nearly all other foods. In 1958, approximately 1.6 million people were diagnosed with diabetes; that figure has skyrocketed now to 36 million people in 2023. It is estimated that roughly 75% of the population suffers from either insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or diabetes. The source of diabetes can often be traced back to the opioid-like addictive qualities of wheat and grains. Inflammation, obesity, celiac disease, heart disease, insulin resistance, cataracts, accelerated aging, skin issues, and neurodegenerative diseases constitute just some of the myriad problems that can arise from continued consumption of modern wheat and the supposed "healthy whole grains" that we've been encouraged to eat for a balanced diet. Dr. Davis shares how eliminating wheat and restoring our gut microbiomes are the means by which we might reclaim our personal, collective and ecosystem health.

Why do so many people continue to struggle with thyroid symptoms, hormone imbalances, fatigue, weight gain, digestive issues, and poor health even when their lab work looks "normal"? In this episode of The Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage sits down with board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith to discuss her new book, Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones, and the critical role gut physiology plays in hormone health. Dr. Smith shares her journey from traditional endocrinology to a more physiology-based approach after recognizing that many of her patients continued to get sicker despite receiving standard medical treatment. Together, they explore how gut health, chronic stress, inflammation, lifestyle factors, and cellular physiology influence hormone production, hormone metabolism, thyroid function, insulin regulation, estrogen balance, and overall health. The conversation highlights why optimizing lab values alone often fails to resolve symptoms and why addressing the underlying physiologic patterns affecting the body may be a more effective path toward lasting health improvements. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why many patients continue to struggle despite "normal" lab results How gut health influences thyroid hormone conversion and utilization The connection between chronic stress, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalance Why insulin resistance is often driven by more than just diet The role of the gut microbiome in estrogen metabolism and detoxification How inflammation can affect hormone signaling at the cellular level Why hormone replacement does not always resolve symptoms The importance of addressing lifestyle, sleep, stress, nutrition, and gut function alongside hormone optimization How chronic physiologic strain may contribute to ongoing thyroid and hormone symptoms Why understanding physiology may be more important than chasing lab numbers Key Topics Discussed Gut microbiome and hormone metabolism Thyroid physiology and T4 to T3 conversion Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction GLP-1 physiology Estrogen metabolism and the estrobolome Chronic stress and allostatic load Inflammation and cellular hormone signaling Leaky gut and immune activation Functional medicine and root-cause approaches Hormone replacement therapy considerations Lifestyle factors that influence hormone health About Dr. Cassie Smith Dr. Cassie Smith, MD is a dual board-certified endocrinologist, Founder of Modern Endocrine, and Chief Medical Officer of Renthyroid.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/timelinereplay In this special replay episode with repeat guest Dr. Anurag Singh from Timeline Nutrition, you'll explore the science of cellular health and longevity, including why mitochondrial function affects everything from energy and muscle performance to cognitive clarity and how well you age. Dr. Singh explains how urolithin A, a postbiotic compound derived from foods like pomegranates and berries, activates mitophagy, the body's cellular clean-up system that clears out worn-out mitochondria and replaces them with new ones, and how clinical research shows it can support muscle strength, endurance, immune resilience, and cognitive function. You'll also hear how diet, gut health, exercise, sleep, and recovery work alongside urolithin A to build a stronger, more resilient physiology over time. Dr. Anurag Singh is Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition, with an M.D. in internal medicine and a Ph.D. in immunology. He has authored more than 50 scientific articles, been awarded over 20 patents, and led more than 50 randomized clinical trials. His decade of research on urolithin A has produced multiple clinically validated products bringing longevity science directly to consumers.

Tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch used advanced AI to analyze raw, independent datasets about mRNA injuries – and uncovered what “no public health official wants to know.” Legacy media continues to ignore the staggering reality of adverse reactions and side effects of mRNA for COVID-19. Steve Kirsch took matters into his own hands – and his latest analysis estimates that as many as 2 million Americans were seriously disabled by the shots. He joins Dr. Kelly Victory to share his methods, how he used AI to analyze the data, and why “not a single national public-health authority, anywhere in the world, has produced an estimate of the type we just constructed.” Steve Kirsch is a former Silicon Valley high-tech executive with two engineering degrees from MIT. He founded the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund and the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF). He hosts the VSRF Live Weekly Update and has authored more than 1,900 articles on vaccine safety at kirschsubstack.com.

After kids, a lot of couples assume intimacy is supposed to disappear. You're exhausted, touched-out, overwhelmed by logistics, carrying invisible mental load — and somewhere along the way, sex can start to feel complicated, distant, or impossible to even talk about. But what if the story is more nuanced than that? In this episode, Dr. Becky talks with board-certified OB/GYN, sexual wellness expert, and Chief Medical Officer at Hers, Dr. Jessica Shepherd, about new survey data exploring what actually happens to intimacy in long-term relationships and parenthood. They discuss: why some married couples report better sex after kids how vulnerability changes intimacy the connection between mental load and desire hormones, perimenopause, and libido why “whose fault is this?” is often the wrong question what it means to approach intimacy from a same-team perspective This conversation is honest, practical, funny at times — and ultimately hopeful. Because intimacy is about feeling seen, understood, connected, and able to locate yourself inside your relationship again. Dr. Becky wrote up a few tips for talking to your partner about intimacy after kids. You can read those here.
