There are many acceptable approaches to adrenalectomy. Hypercortisolism with adrenal origin is a challenging topic especially in a population where obesity is incredibly common.  A thorough biochemical workup involving endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons is key to offering the best surgery.   Large adrenal tumors with indeterminate imaging characteristics have historically been removed with an open surgical approach.  However, with modern robotic technology, it is possible to remove these successfully using a minimally invasive approach with a high-volume surgeon.  Today we will discuss some clinically challenging adrenal cases addressing the above issues, and include tips and tricks from an expert, high-volume robotic adrenal endocrine surgeon.    Hosts:- Amanda Doubleday, DO, MBA, Assistant Professor, Waukesha Surgical Specialists, ProHealth Care.

You can also catch our insightful interview on YouTube. Bio: Dr. Jeff McNairy For over 30 years, Dr. Jeff McNairy watched people try to heal, and witnessed the system continue to fail them. As a clinician working with the most vulnerable populations facing addiction, acute mental health issues, and trauma, he saw the same pattern repeat: Western medicine manages symptoms, but it doesn’t touch the root. He came to understand that real healing can only come from within. ‍That conviction is what brought him to Rythmia, and has kept him here since the doors opened in 2016. ‍As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff holds a Psy.D. and M.P.H. and oversees the medical integrity of the Rythmia Way Program. He has now guided more than 23,697 alumni through their week, and his expert guidance helps support guests in getting their miracle and having their personal breakthrough. ‍When you’re here, Dr. Jeff's medical guidance and expertise will be with you throughout the week, and so you can surrender fully, and trust that you're in the safest possible care.

Dr. Austin Chiang has built one of medicine's most distinctive public platforms. He is a triple board-certified gastroenterologist, Chief Medical Officer for Medtronic's Endoscopy business and Associate Professor of Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. He is also one of healthcare's most influential physician voices online, with hundreds of thousands of followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. That makes him an ideal guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season asks what patients, clinicians and healthcare leaders are saying now that feels meaningfully different from the past. Chiang hears those concerns from several vantage points: as a practicing physician, medical technology leader, educator and public-facing doctor. For Chiang, three issues stand out: Clinician burnout and loss of autonomy Chiang says physicians are struggling with administrative burden, documentation demands, prior authorization, staffing shortages, reimbursement pressure and a growing sense that medical decisions are no longer fully in their hands. Pearl pushes further, asking whether clinicians must take more responsibility for affordability rather than simply objecting to the oversight created in response to rising costs. Chiang agrees that physicians need a better understanding of the broader healthcare ecosystem if they want to help change it. Medical misinformation and social media Chiang has spent more than a decade learning how to communicate across platforms and audiences. He explains that accurate medical information must now compete with sensationalized claims from people who are not held to the same professional standards as clinicians. For doctors, the challenge is to be credible without being boring, engaging without becoming irresponsible and platform-specific without compromising the message. That tension is especially important in areas like gut health, diet, probiotics and the microbiome, where uncertainty creates space for simple but potentially misleading answers. Clinician-led innovation As Medtronic's Chief Medical Officer for Endoscopy, Chiang works at the intersection of clinical practice and medical technology. He explains that innovation in medicine is slow for good reason: new tools must prove safety, clinical value, workflow fit and real-world usefulness before becoming mainstream. But he argues that clinicians need to be more involved in that process because they understand the nuances of patient care, staff experience and adoption better than outsiders can. The conversation also explores colorectal cancer, which is rising among younger adults. Chiang explains why colonoscopy remains the gold standard for prevention, while also noting that lowering screening ages further would create major capacity challenges. He also discusses AI-assisted polyp detection, the future of endoscopy and why fully autonomous colonoscopy remains difficult given the complexity of human anatomy. There's much more in this conversation, including physician career paths beyond traditional practice, how doctors should respond when patients bring AI-generated information to appointments and what people with chronic GI conditions need from clinicians, platforms and online communities. Tune in to hear one of medicine's most visible digital physician leaders explain how doctors can help shape a future where technology, social media and medical innovation better serve patients. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. Subscribe to the show via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you find podcasts.

An elevated estrone level can be alarming—especially when you search online and immediately find scary information about cancer, diabetes, or obesity. But does a high estrone level automatically mean something is wrong? In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center, takes a closer look at estrone and why it shouldn't be treated as a simple “good” or “bad” hormone. Dr. McCarthy also discusses his own evolution in understanding estrone and why he believes good medicine requires continually questioning what we think we know. The goal isn't to tell you what decision to make. It's to give you better information so you can have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.  

We love to hear from our listeners. Send us a message.In Episode 135 of Cell & Gene: The Podcast, Host Erin Harris talks to Sonal Gupta, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of CoRegen, about the company's novel approach to treating solid tumors by engineering regulatory T cells (Tregs) rather than conventional effector immune cells.

Modern Animal's acquisition by Chewy has become one of the most significant and debated developments in veterinary medicine.In this episode, Dr. Christie Long joins Dr. Brianna Armstrong to share her unconventional journey from software and operations to veterinary medicine and eventually becoming Chief Medical Officer of Modern Animal. Dr. Long explains the original vision behind Modern Animal, the challenges of scaling its technology-enabled and membership-based model, and the lessons the company learned while expanding beyond California.Dr. Long also discusses the financial realities of building a venture-backed veterinary company, why the fundraising environment became more difficult, and what led Modern Animal to join Chewy. Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Long address concerns surrounding corporate consolidation, vertical integration, pharmacy, insurance, pricing, and what Chewy's expanding healthcare ecosystem could mean for independent veterinary hospitals. Dr. Long also responds to the public reaction surrounding the acquisition and explains why personal relationships may remain independent practices' greatest competitive advantage.This is a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, culture, scale, ownership, and what the Modern Animal and Chewy partnership could signal for the future of veterinary medicine.Key Takeaways- The hardest part of building a veterinary company is not necessarily building the hospitals. It is creating jobs, career paths, leadership systems, and a culture that talented people want to join.- Growth exposes assumptions. Modern Animal's rapid success in Southern California did not automatically translate into other markets, forcing the company to rethink its branding, membership options, marketing, and accessibility.- Venture-backed growth creates a race against time. Companies must prove their model, reach meaningful scale, and attract additional capital before their financial runway ends.- Scale and independence are not the only two options. Christie views the acquisition as a way to access capital, talent, technology, and customers that could allow Modern Animal to pursue ideas it could not accomplish alone.- Independent practices still have a major advantage. Personal relationships and meaningful human connection remain difficult for any large organization to standardize or scale.- The future of veterinary medicine should not be framed only as corporate versus private. The more important questions may be who makes the decisions, how teams are treated, whether medical quality is protected, and whether the business creates genuine value for patients, clients, employees, and the profession. About Dr. Christie LongDr. Christie Long is a veterinarian, builder, and Chief Medical Officer of Modern Animal. Before entering veterinary medicine, she worked in software development, project management, and operations. Her career has included clinical practice, veterinary telehealth, corporate veterinary development, and the creation and expansion of Modern Animal's technology-enabled veterinary hospitals.Through her work, Christie has focused on improving the veterinary experience for patients, clients, and the people delivering care.

Should every woman take estrogen? Or should no one? According to Dr. Brendan McCarthy, both extremes miss the point. The best hormone therapy is personalized, evidence-based, and designed around the individual—not headlines or trends. In this episode, Dr. McCarthy explains why today's growing "estrogen for everyone" movement can be just as concerning as the outdated fear created by the Women's Health Initiative study. Hormone replacement therapy isn't about following the crowd—it's about understanding your body, your risks, and your long-term health goals. In this video, you'll learn: Why hormone therapy should never be one-size-fits-all The difference between individualized care and "pill mill" medicine What the Women's Health Initiative actually studied—and how it was misinterpreted Why estrogen helps with some conditions more than others The questions every woman should ask before starting hormone replacement therapy How experienced clinicians monitor hormones to keep treatment safe over time At Protea Medical Center, we believe hormone therapy should be built around you—your symptoms, your lab work, your health history, and your goals. If you're considering hormone replacement therapy, make sure you're working with a provider who takes the time to explain your options, monitor your progress, and adjust treatment as your body changes.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare episode, host Eric Glazer brings together health plan and specialty care leaders to examine a challenge becoming increasingly important to healthcare organizations: how to make sure the right specialty expertise reaches the right patient at the right moment without simply adding another disconnected program. The discussion explores what happens when organizations rethink specialty care as a pathway rather than an isolated episode. Across health plans and specialty care organizations, the conversation looks at how earlier identification, better triage, care navigation, workflow integration, physician engagement, and technology can help organizations improve access while making better use of limited specialist capacity. This is a practical discussion for health plan and provider leaders navigating rising specialty costs, growing demand, limited specialist capacity, and increasingly complex member needs. Our guests include: Shantanu Agrawal, MD, Chief Health Officer, Elevance Health Lora Council, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Fallon Health Sunil Shivaram, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Elite Health Plan Jessica Landin, CEO, Vori Health Together, they explore: How organizations can improve specialty access by identifying, triaging, and routing patients earlier, rather than simply adding specialist capacity How health plans and specialty organizations are redesigning care pathways to better connect primary care, specialists, behavioral health, navigation, and community resources How AI, predictive analytics, digital screening, and asynchronous care can extend clinical capacity while helping specialists focus on patients who need their expertise most What it takes to build more connected specialty care models that improve access, reduce fragmentation and unnecessary utilization, and deliver better outcomes and experiences for patients This episode offers an inside look at how leading organizations are rethinking specialty care not by adding more disconnected solutions, but by improving how expertise is allocated, coordinated, and delivered across the patient's journey.

Feeling overloaded by conflicting health advice or worried about what might be happening inside your body as you move through midlife? Wondering if there's a way to get clear answers about cancer and chronic disease risks before symptoms start? This episode explores what a preventive MRI cancer screening can (and cannot) tell you, and how new technology is giving women more agency in their preventive health decisions. Today, journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Dr. Danna Chung, Chief Medical Officer at Ezra, to discuss the realities of proactive cancer screening with advanced MRI imaging. If you crave practical, evidence-driven insights about early detection and managing your health risks as you age, this conversation offers needed perspective, without hype or sensationalism. Dr. Chung's commitment to making screening more accessible stems from her own experience as a parent and physician navigating cancer in her family, making her a thoughtful guide through both the data and the emotions of screening. What you'll learn: • What MRI scans can detect, including early signs of cancer in up to 13 organs, as well as early indicators of chronic diseases like fatty liver and heart risk • How artificial intelligence is being used to improve the clarity, speed, and affordability of MRI-based cancer screening • Who can benefit from these screenings, how the process works, and what to expect—especially if you have fears about MRI or worries about "too much information" • The real limitations of MRI scans, including which cancers they're best at finding and which traditional screenings (like mammograms or colonoscopies) you still need • How annual health tracking empowers you to catch changes early and make informed decisions, not just for you but for those who depend on you Midlife is a season of valued responsibilities and sometimes-invisible health shifts. Practical, nuanced information can be empowering, especially when it is free from hype and fear. This episode is here to offer solid answers and calm, trustworthy context so you can make preventive choices that fit your real life and priorities. Episode Website

Does mental health treatment work the same for everyone? The answer is more complicated than many people realize. In this episode, host Gabe Howard is joined by Stephanie Robertson, J.D., Director of Mental Health Equity at NAMI, and Dr. Nicole Washington, psychiatrist and President-Elect of the Black Psychiatrists of America, for an honest conversation about mental health equity, cultural identity, and why representation matters in behavioral health. Rather than focusing on politics, this conversation centers on practical realities: how clinicians can better understand the people they serve, why patients deserve care that reflects their experiences, and how open conversations can reduce stigma while improving access to treatment.  Listeners Will Learn: How implicit bias can affect healthcare decisions even when providers have good intentions Why mental health equity means providing care that meets people's unique needs—not simply providing identical care for everyone Why difficult conversations about mental health, culture, and bias are necessary to improve outcomes Why representation helps people feel understood, respected, and more willing to seek treatment If you've ever wondered why diversity in mental health care matters—or how to achieve it—this episode explores why increasing diversity among mental health professionals isn't just about representation; it's about improving care, expanding access, and creating a mental health system that works better for everyone.  Cold Open Transcript: “Being misdiagnosed happens so often to people of color, to women. It's about understanding what people have experienced throughout their lives, not just because of being a person, but because of being a black person, because of being a woman, because of growing up in a large family, because of growing up in the South. You know, there are just things that are culturally and/or the nuances of how you grew up and what you were exposed to makes such a difference.” ~Stephanie Robertson, Director of Mental Health Equity at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Our guest, Stephanie Robertson, is the Director of Mental Health Equity at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), where she advances access to community-informed and culturally responsive mental health care. She partners with the NAMI Alliance and community-based organizations to address structural barriers to equitable care. Stephanie holds a BA from Duke University and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center. Her professional background spans corporate law, higher education, and diversity, equity, and inclusion leadership. Outside of work, she enjoys jogging, crafting handmade jewelry, and spending time with her mini Goldendoodle, Indie. Our guest, Dr. Nicole Washington, is an ABMS board certified psychiatrist and the Chief Medical Officer of Elocin Psychiatric Services, a primarily virtual practice where she focuses on the mental health needs of women and the busy professional. Dr. Washington also serves as President-Elect of the Black Psychiatrists of America, Inc. Dr. Washington has spent most of her career caring and advocating for people who aren't typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities and high-performing professionals. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Welcome to Episode 318 of Autism Parenting Secrets. Many parents enter this journey searching for the next therapy, treatment, supplement, or breakthrough intervention.  While those approaches can absolutely help, Dr. Kurt Woeller believes one of the most common mistakes is pursuing advanced therapies before establishing the foundations that allow them to work.

"We have an untapped army of 200,000 PAs that really could step up and drive some change in the healthcare system if we weren't restricted,” says Dr. Jennifer Kolb, capturing her motivation for pushing to update practice regulations for physician associates that date back more than 50 years.  As Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical Affairs at the American Academy of Physician Associates, Dr. Kolb has been in the middle of the fight at the state and federal level to grant PAs more independence from physicians, full billing rights, and the increased ability to practice across state lines, among other changes.  In this pertinent conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Kolb explains how these updates could help close huge gaps in access to healthcare, better manage the fight against chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes.   Dr. Kolb also addresses:  Why the name shift from "assistant" to "associate" took her years to fully appreciate; How a 10-year gap in life expectancy across Chicago zip codes shapes her view of health equity; Why PA's shouldn't wait for permission to start making change in their communities.

When someone says, "estrogen causes cancer" or "estrogen causes blood clots," what estrogen are they talking about? In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains one of the biggest misconceptions in hormone replacement therapy (HRT): estrogen isn't a single hormone—it's a family of hormones. Understanding the differences between estradiol, estrone, and estriol can completely change how you view your treatment, your lab work, and the conversations you have with your healthcare provider. You'll learn why the type of estrogen, how it's delivered (oral, patch, injection, pellet), and how it's monitored all matter. Dr. McCarthy also discusses why informed consent goes beyond signing paperwork—it means truly understanding the treatment you're receiving and why it was chosen for you.
