Today, we're exploring the latest updates on Ozempic, a medication that's gained widespread attention for its role in weight loss. Originally approved for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has shown significant potential in reducing body weight as a side effect. Its active ingredient, semaglutide, works by mimicking a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.Ozempic can lead to an average weight loss of about 7% of body weight over several months. However, not everyone experiences this benefit, as results can vary based on individual factors like diet and overall health. Semaglutide is also used in Wegovy, which is specifically approved for weight management and offers a higher dose.Beyond weight loss, semaglutide has been found to have cardiovascular benefits, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes regardless of the amount of weight lost. This suggests that its effects extend beyond just weight management.Thank you for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe for more updates on Ozempic and other health topics.

Send us a textThe episode features an urgent conversation with renowned nitric oxide biochemist Dr. Nathan Bryan, who explains why nitric oxide is the foundational molecule of health, connecting everything from cardiovascular function to Alzheimer's prevention.Dr. Bryan details how nitric oxide regulates blood flow, mobilizes stem cells, and controls mitochondrial energy production. He argues that the loss of nitric oxide production, often caused by the destruction of the oral microbiome (via antiseptic mouthwash and fluoride) and poor light environments, is the root cause of many chronic diseases. He explains his scientific approach to restoring nitric oxide with a patented lozenge, affirming his mission to develop therapeutic solutions that help patients get off prescription drugs, despite significant pushback.ResourcesUse discount code “Crawford” for 10% off your purchase at n101.com Products 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution StimPod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Diet has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern health. Whether it's carnivore, keto, or veganism, conversations around food can quickly become divisive. But beyond the noise and online debates — how do you actually determine the best way to eat for your health, longevity, and heart? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, an integrative cardiologist often referred to as “America's Healthy Heart Doc.” After decades practicing conventional cardiology, Dr. Kahn shifted his focus toward preventative medicine — emphasizing nutrition, early testing, and lifestyle strategies to help patients avoid heart disease altogether. Dr. Kahn shares his evidence-based approach to heart disease prevention, including how he helps patients identify and treat risk factors ten years before a potential heart attack. We dive into the science behind different diets, what research actually shows about plant-based nutrition, and why personalization — not dogma — is key when it comes to both food and medication. We also explore the connection between hormones and cardiovascular health, the role of post-menopausal hormone therapy in prevention, and what tests you should consider before ever starting statins. If you care about protecting your heart—and cutting through the confusion around diet and prevention—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Episode Highlights: Dr. Kahn's transition from traditional cardiology to preventive and integrative care His lifelong passion for nutrition and functional wellness The simple rule everyone should follow for a heart-healthy diet Research-backed benefits of plant-forward eating Why statin therapy should be personalized, not automatic The most important tests to request before taking statins How hormone therapy after menopause impacts heart health The vital link between hormonal balance and cardiovascular function Dr. Kahn's top testing recommendations for early heart disease detection Connect with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Website | DrJoelKahn.com Dr. Joel Kahn's Clinic | Kahn Longevity Center Dr. Joel Kahn on Instagram | @DrJKahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Podcast | Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Books | View Dr. Joel Kahn's Library Dr. Joel Kahn on The Joe Rogan Experience | Listen To The Full Episode Dr. Kahn's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Reference Guide | View The Reference Guide Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into some of the most significant shifts occurring in these industries, touching on strategic restructuring, regulatory milestones, and groundbreaking scientific advancements that are shaping the future of drug development and patient care.Let's begin with a major corporate shakeup at Novo Nordisk. The company has announced a significant leadership transition as former CEO Lars Rebien Sorensen is set to become the new chairman of the board. This change follows the resignation of seven board members and indicates a strategic realignment within the company. The Novo Foundation's involvement suggests a deeper strategic shift, potentially aligning with new organizational objectives and innovations. Such moves are pivotal as they could influence Novo Nordisk's market position and future product development.Turning to scientific breakthroughs, Merck's collaboration with Kelun-Biotech has yielded promising results with their Trop2 antibody-drug conjugate, sacituzumab-tmt. This ADC has shown success in two Phase 3 trials targeting lung and breast cancers, underscoring the therapeutic potential of ADCs in oncology. By selectively targeting cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, ADCs could significantly improve patient outcomes and represent a powerful modality in cancer treatment.In regulatory affairs, Kenvue is challenging the FDA over proposed safety warnings for Tylenol linked to autism during pregnancy. This dispute highlights the ongoing debates surrounding drug safety and regulatory oversight. The outcome could have significant implications for labeling practices and consumer trust in over-the-counter medications. Meanwhile, Summit Therapeutics plans to file for FDA approval of ivonescimab, highlighting ongoing innovation in drug development pipelines. Similarly, Novo Nordisk's semaglutide pill Rybelsus has received FDA expansion approval to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events. This sets a new benchmark for oral metabolism drugs by demonstrating their potential beyond glycemic control to positively impact cardiovascular health.As we explore industry trends, there's growing interest in direct-to-consumer drug sales. While this approach offers patients access to medications at reduced costs, it raises concerns about privacy and the quality of care without traditional healthcare provider interactions. Additionally, a notable decline in pharmaceutical TV ad spending by 19% in Q3 suggests a shift towards digital engagement strategies. Amidst these narratives, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) has launched an awareness campaign to combat misinformation about vaccines. This effort underscores the importance of immunizations in public health and aims to reinforce trust amid rising disinformation.In another scientific advancement, GSK has released positive Phase 3 data for Spero Therapeutics' oral antibiotic candidate. The oral formulation's efficacy comparable to intravenous options could lead to broader use and improved patient adherence—critical advancements as antibiotic resistance remains a global health challenge.Investment activities reflect strategic shifts within the industry as well. Curewell Capital's investment in Wilmington PharmaTech aims to enhance U.S. active pharmaceutical ingredient production capacity—a crucial step given recent global supply chain disruptions. Similarly, India's ACG is making a $200 million investment in its first U.S. empty-capsule production facility, highlighting the strategic importance of manufacturing capabilities on American soil.Galapagos' decision to wind down its cell therapy unit marks a significant strategic pivot from its previous focus on this modality. This shift reflects broader industry trends where companies reassess priorSupport the show

Molecular-medicine expert Dr. Nathan Bryan explains how nitric oxide (NO) protects the endothelium, drives vasodilation, and influences energy, immunity, hormones, and longevity. He links stubborn hypertension and poor exercise tolerance to the microbiome–NO axis and outlines common NO killers—antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride overuse, chronic PPIs, ultra-processed diets, and inactivity. We cover practical restores (movement, nutrient-dense food, targeted micronutrients, careful PPI weaning, ditching antiseptic rinses) and preview clinical work on NO-releasing lozenges for ischemic heart disease, approaches to improve cerebral blood flow and insulin signaling in cognitive decline, and topical NO for chronic wounds. Bryan also touches on food quality (glyphosate, soil health), hormone synergy with NO, and NO-based skincare that supports perfusion and collagen. Bottom line: rebuild NO, and the body's own repair systems can finally do their job.(Educational only; not personal medical advice.)Guest BioNathan S. Bryan, PhD is a molecular medicine researcher and leading authority on nitric oxide (NO) biochemistry. Over two decades, he has mapped how the body generates and uses NO—and what happens when it doesn't—publishing widely, authoring multiple books, and translating discoveries into products and late-stage drug trials. His work spans cardiovascular health, metabolism, neurocognition, wound healing, and skin biology, with a focus on restoring NO as a foundation for repair. Dr. Bryan speaks globally on NO and leads development of NO-based therapeutics targeting ischemic heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and non-healing ulcers. GET SOCIAL WITH US!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a hard look at the cholesterol hypothesis and why it has failed to deliver true solutions for heart health. Instead of focusing on lowering cholesterol—a vital compound for hormones, brain function, and cellular integrity—he highlights the often-overlooked root cause: stiff, aging arteries. You'll learn how the blood vessels lose flexibility with age, stress, toxins, poor diet, and inactivity, and why this breakdown leads to high blood pressure and drives cardiovascular risk far more than cholesterol numbers alone. Jared explains the role of nitric oxide in reversing arterial aging and how natural boosters like beets, leafy greens, and amino acids support healthy nitric oxide production. This episode is about shifting the conversation: instead of suppressing what the body needs, learn how to encourage its own built-in repair and resilience mechanisms.Products:N.O.

Dr Grinspoon is a clinician in the Neuroendocrine and Pituitary Tumor Clinical Center and faculty member at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is a clinical researcher who studies hypothalamic control of body weight and fat distribution in obesity and lipodystrophy with a focus on the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of visceral fat accumulation. Dr Grinspoon provides an overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV including a review of the REPRIEVE study that evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV. Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon detail the REPRIEVE study results demonstrating that statins lower baseline low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and discuss the cardiovascular health benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol levels. They discuss arterial plaque, how it is measured and whether plaque can regress individuals on statins. Finally, Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon discuss goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVE and other studies looking into the benefits of statins in other populations.0:00 – Introduction1:28 – Overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV 3:23 – Overview of the REPRIEVE study, which evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV10:51 – REPRIEVE study results lowering baseline LDL cholesterol 13:26 – Follow-up studies in people who do not have HIV16:20 – How plaque is measured in the arteries19:40 – Regression of plaque in patients using statins 21:15 – Top goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVEResources: REPRIEVE Study: https://www.reprievetrial.org/ __________________________________________________Produced by IAS-USA, Going anti–Viral is a podcast for clinicians involved in research and care in HIV, its complications, and other viral infections.

Here, they unpack how enzymes support the body's natural ability to break down unwanted protein-based tissue.

This episode also explores the synergy of enzyme blends like Fibrenza, the importance of addressing root causes such as endocrine disruptors, and complementary practices like castor oil packs and detox support.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared unveils one of most exciting formulas he's ever developed—Vital D3/K2 with Boron and Silica, now available in two optimized potencies. After years of research and formulation, these powerhouse combinations deliver clinically relevant doses of bioavailable vitamin D3, vitamin K2 (as MK7), boron, and silica—all in a single daily capsule. Jared explains why these four ingredients work synergistically to support bone strength, arterial flexibility, hormone balance, detoxification, and even brain function. He discusses why lanolin-based D3 is bioidentical and superior, why 360 mcg of K2 may be the "magic number" for cardiovascular support, and why boron and silica—ignored by the FDA—deserve a place in your daily routine. You'll also hear how to stack these formulas with the Ultimate Vitality Multi for seasonal flexibility and year-round support.
