    Send us a textAre seed oils really driving chronic disease (and sunburns), or is it hype?Episode Summary: Dr. Brian Kerley talks about the health impacts of seed oils, their high omega-6 fatty acid content, and their role in chronic diseases through mechanisms like lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. They explore how these industrially processed oils may contribute to conditions like heart disease and obesity, discuss the challenges of studying their long-term effects, and highlight the cultural and political dimensions of dietary trends.About the guest: Brian Kerley, MD is a family medicine-trained hospitalist physician who gained online prominence as the "Seed Oil Disrespecter" through his meme account, raising awareness about the health risks of seed oils.Discussion Points:Seed Oils & Health Risks: Seed oils (e.g., soybean, corn, etc.) are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), linked to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, producing toxic compounds like 4-HNE and acrolein that damage cells.Evolutionary Perspective: The high omega-6 levels in modern diets are evolutionarily novel, deviating from natural omega-6 to omega-3 ratios found in traditional diets, potentially exacerbating health issues across diverse populations.Challenges with RCTs: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) often fail to capture the long-term effects of seed oils due to the need for extended washout periods (up to 8 years) and the pervasive presence of omega-6 in modern food environments.Cultural & Political Coding: Dietary trends like seed oil avoidance have become politically charged, with Kerley noting the polarization between institutional health narratives and alternative health communities, complicating public health discussions.Personal Impact: Dr. Kerley's focus on seed oils stems from personal experiences, including managing his daughter's mitochondrial disorder, highlighting the personal stakes in dietary choices.Related episode:M&M 192: Seed Oils, Chronic Disease, Diet & Religious Cults, Mainstream Medicine vs. Independent Research | Tucker Goodrich*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

    A mysterious disease called acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) has been appearing in emergency rooms for about a decade. The disease has caused otherwise healthy children to lose the ability to move their arms and legs, and some become completely paralyzed. AFM is caused by a virus that's a cousin of the polio virus, earning it the nickname "the new polio.” Journalist and physician Eli Cahan joins Host Flora Lichtman to explain what doctors have been observing, the research efforts toward developing a vaccine, and what this emerging disease reveals about our readiness for future outbreaks and pandemics.Read Cahan's article about what fighting this “new polio” might look like as our healthcare infrastructure gets dismantled.And, learning more about some non-cancerous cells may help researchers better understand how cancer progresses. When you think about how cancer spreads in the body, you're probably thinking about cancer cells—they divide uncontrollably, form into tumors, and hide from the immune system. So, it makes sense that studying the behavior of these cells is critical to our understanding of cancer. But now, researchers are looking more closely at the non-cancerous cells that co-exist within tumors and the surrounding tissues. They make up what's called the “colocateome.” Taking this more holistic approach to cancer research may help explain why some treatments don't work for all patients, and eventually may lead to more effective therapies. To better understand this expanding field, Host Ira Flatow talks with Sylvia Plevritis, a Stanford University cancer researcher. Guests:Dr. Eli Cahan is a journalist and physician based in Boston, Massachusetts.Dr. Sylvia Plevritis is a professor of biomedical data science and radiology at Stanford University.Transcript is available on sciencefriday.com.

He is a professor at McMaster University and a vocal critic of pharmaceutical industry practices.Discussion Points:SSRIs cause near-immediate sensory effects, like genital numbing, in most people.Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) can persist for years or decades after stopping the drug, affecting many long-term users.Healy argues RCTs prioritize averages over individual experiences, often missing serious side effects like suicidality.Pharmaceutical companies ghostwrite studies and manipulate data, with journals like the New England Journal of Medicine publishing misleading articles.Serotonin theory of depression lacks evidence.Industry tactics include dismissing patient reports as anecdotes and using high doses in trials to mask weak efficacy.SSRIs can increase suicide risk, not just during initiation but also when adjusting doses or withdrawing, as seen in cases like the Aurora movie theater shooting.Regulatory bodies like the FDA often fail to investigate adverse effects due to bureaucratic processes and lack of follow-up.Healy emphasizes doctors' failure to prioritize patient observations, driven by industry-influenced standards of care.Related episode:M&M 88: Depression, Serotonin, SSRIs, Psychiatry & Social Media | Joanna Moncrieff*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

    South American cane toads were brought to Australia in 1935 to help eradicate native beetles that were destroying sugar cane crops. The toads didn't care much for the beetles, but they did spread across the coast of Queensland and beyond, with no natural predators to stop them. Their own deadly toxin devastated local reptiles along the way, and they now number over 200 million.Invasive biologists have long tried to curb Australia's cane toad population. The newest approach uses CRISPR gene-editing technology to create cannibalistic “Peter Pan” cane toad tadpoles: tadpoles that don't fully mature and instead feast on the tens of thousands of eggs that the toads produce.How was this approach developed, and how do these researchers think about making a potentially massive change to the ecosystem? Biologist Rick Shine, who has led the effort, joins Host Flora Lichtman to discuss it. Later, science journalist Elizabeth Kolbert talks about her experience reporting on similar monumental efforts to control nature—and what they say about us.Guests: Elizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future (Crown, 2021).

    New Vision for Healthcare Focuses on Preventing Aging-Related Diseases

    BUFFALO, NY — June 4, 2025 — A new #editorial was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 29, 2025, titled “Rethinking healthcare through aging biology.” In this scientific editorial, Aging (Aging-US) Editor-in-Chief Marco Demaria from the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing (ERIBA), University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) and the University of Groningen (RUG), advocates for healthcare reform that addresses the biological drivers of aging rather than individual chronic conditions. The article proposes that targeting the root causes of age-related diseases through aging biology could revolutionize preventive care, extend healthspan, and reduce long-term healthcare costs. This proactive approach aligns with a growing body of aging research focused on improving healthy longevity. Dr. Demaria explains that today's disease-focused model is inadequate for aging populations, who often suffer from multimorbidity—the presence of multiple chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. These overlapping conditions, rooted in common aging mechanisms, overwhelm healthcare systems and lead to complex treatments with limited success. The editorial suggests that identifying and intervening in the biological aging process could prevent such diseases before they emerge. In the editorial, Dr. Demaria outlines three healthcare paradigms. The first is the existing system, which reacts to disease after symptoms appear. The second involves intervening once age-related damage begins, using new tools such as senolytics, which eliminate harmful senescent cells, and rapalogs, which regulate cellular metabolism. The third and most forward-looking model focuses on preventing aging-related damage before it starts. This strategy supports lifelong biological balance and seeks to avoid early molecular decline through continuous health maintenance. Prevention is key in this model. Lifestyle choices—such as exercise, a healthy diet, quality sleep, and stress reduction—play a vital role in slowing the aging process. Dr. Demaria also points to the promise of biological age diagnostics—tools or tests that estimate a person's biological age—which allow people to track their physiological aging and adopt personalized interventions. Additionally, optimizing maternal nutrition and early-life health can contribute to lifelong disease prevention. To support this shift, the editorial calls for major changes in medical education. Physicians must be trained in geroscience, healthspan optimization, and personalized preventive care. This knowledge will prepare future clinicians not just to treat disease, but to delay or prevent it altogether. Collaboration among healthcare providers, researchers, and policymakers will be essential for building this new system. ​​“The third paradigm—preventing aging-related damage—demands a systemic shift toward predictive and preventative research, with an emphasis on multi-omic data, lifestyle interventions, and early-life interventions.” By redefining medicine around the science of aging, Dr. Demaria's editorial highlights the path toward healthier aging, longer life expectancy, and a more sustainable healthcare future.

Ray is currently serving as the executive officer for AMTA. Highlights [10:35] Ray Howanski "I think that's really what modeling does. It gives teachers that really foundational piece of resources that they can then go and blossom in each of their teaching environments." [41:52] Ray Howanski "now I can improve my understanding and accept information like evidence-based thinking and the ability to change your mind. Just those things. Learning how to have a face-to-face conversation. And learn from each other. These are things I think that whether you're a science person or not, I think we would all recognize that these are things we want people in our society to be able to do."

    Foresters are pretty good at stand-level silviculture. But what if we want to make changes to forest vegetation at a much larger scale? Silviculture at scale to impact landscape-level change is much trickier, whether that's aiming for a target age-class distribution or meeting the broad habitat needs of birds. Where do we even begin?  In walks the concept of Dynamic Forest Restoration Blocks, or the strategy of breaking up the landscape into manageable and biologically meaningful units where we can focus on specific forest management objectives. Join us on this episode as we talk with pioneers of this concept, Jeff Larkin, professor in the Department of Biology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Forest Bird Advisor with the American Bird Conservancy, and Dan Heggenstaller, North Central Regional Forester with the Pennsylvania Game Commission.Send us a text To earn CEU/CFE credits, learn more, or interact with SilviCast, visit the uwsp.edu/SilviCast.

    This week we speak with Professor Robert Hamilton of the University of Toronto about a recent case-control study in which his team identified a novel auto-antibody targeting a fetal cardiac protein that proved to have excellent sensitivity and specificity for the identification of fetuses that would develop heart block in fetal life in the offspring of women with maternal connective tissue disorders. How did the team in Toronto choose these particular target proteins? How well did this test perform in predicting heart block in pregnancies where there had been a prior pregnancy affected by block? Does this test possibly mean that fewer fetuses of mothers with connective tissue will need surveillance? Dr. Hamilton shares the details of this fascinating study this week. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2665-9913(25)00092-xWe also speak with Drs. David Ezon and Kenan Stern about the upcoming 16th Annual Mount Sinai Imaging Symposium - Conversations in Care: Cardiac Conundrums & 3D Echo Workshop which will be taking place at Mount Sinai on 5/31/25.

    What if your inability to change habits and reactions wasn't about lack of willpower or being lazy, but was actually about your body not having enough energy to make the change? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why so many people feel stuck in old patterns or habits, expanding on her conversation with Katie Wells from Episode 123. She answers a question from Jessica, a therapist, about why her clients intellectually understand their problems but can't seem to make changes stick and feel drained after therapy. Dr. Aimie explains how trauma becomes an energy problem in your body. She breaks down what happens inside your cells when trauma gets stored and why healing requires energy that many people simply don't have. You'll hear more about: How trauma affects your body's mitochondria (aka the cellular powerhouses) The warning signs that your energy system is struggling Why feeling exhausted after therapy means your body doesn't have the energy to heal (Hint: You're NOT actually failing!) Simple steps you can take today to boost energy levels naturally If you know what your problems are but can't seem to change them, or if you're helping someone who's stuck in this cycle, this episode offers practical steps that actually work with your biology instead of against it.
