Did you know that high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener found in everything from soda to salad dressing, has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and inflammation? In this episode, I explore a surprising claim by Donald Trump that Coca Cola may switch from high fructose corn syrup to cane sugar—and use this as a springboard to explore the health concerns around high fructose corn syrup. I break down what it is, why it's used so widely in processed foods, and the many health risks it poses, from obesity and diabetes to inflammation and high blood pressure. I even share a patient story that highlights its real-life impact. While cane sugar isn't a healthy food either, it may have fewer metabolic downsides. Regardless of whether Coca Cola makes the switch, I emphasize the power we have to read labels, reduce added sugar, choose more whole foods, and make smarter decisions for our health. Tune in to learn how cutting back on hidden sugars like high fructose corn syrup can transform your health and energy!   Episode Highlights: Trump's claim about Coca Cola switching to cane sugar What high fructose corn syrup is and why it's widely used Health risks linked to high fructose corn syrup Real-life patient story on soda and high blood pressure Differences between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup Practical tips for reducing added sugar in your diet Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

In this episode, Divya speaks with Scott Hardy. Scott is an Extension Educator with the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, where he leads research and runs education and outreach programs on watershed restoration, coastal zone management, and stormwater runoff. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, where he works on several research projects. Scott's work is all about collaboration — bringing people together to solve problems that no one can tackle alone. He knows that collaboration isn't automatic. It takes time, trust, and spaces where people feel heard and included. He also believes that every place is different, and you need to really understand the local context to make teamwork work. Different projects need different kinds of partnerships, and Scott is skilled at figuring out what each situation needs. In this episode, they talk about Scott's ongoing work on Cuyahoga River restoration, where he has been closely collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders ranging from state agencies to industry to local communities. They also talk about his recent experience as a Fulbright Specialist at the Universidad de Atacama in Copiapó, Chile, where he was invited to share his expertise on sustainable water management.  References:  Hardy, S.

Quinn Flaspohler takes us on his journey from Oxford, Ohio to Cleveland as he navigates the transition from student-athlete to young professional.Growing up in a family of academics – with his father teaching psychology at Miami University and grandfather teaching statistics at Xavier – Quinn carved his own path playing soccer at DePauw University before pursuing a Master of Finance at Case Western Reserve University. With refreshing candor, he shares how he balanced the demanding schedule of collegiate athletics with rigorous academic pursuits, and the unexpected challenges that emerged when his playing days ended.The conversation delves into life in Cleveland's vibrant Little Italy neighborhood, where Quinn currently resides while coaching soccer, working in a restaurant, and interviewing for corporate positions. His experience working as a Graduate Assistant in university admissions reveals valuable insights about the skills developed through diverse work experiences during the formative post-graduation period.Perhaps most compelling is the discussion about team dynamics and how the lessons from athletics transfer to professional settings. As our host Johnny aptly puts it, "When you're a part of a team, everyone is equally important, and without all those people, there is no team, it's just a bunch of individuals." Quinn's story reminds us that career paths aren't always linear, and sometimes the road less traveled leads to unexpected opportunities.Whether you're a recent graduate, a current student-athlete contemplating your future, or simply interested in how young professionals navigate today's job market, Quinn's journey offers valuable perspective on finding your way forward when the structured world of college athletics comes to an end.

Did you know that stopping GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy can trigger powerful biological and emotional changes that impact your weight journey? In this episode, I talk about what happens when you stop taking a GLP-1 medication, like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound. I explain how these medications work by slowing stomach emptying, reducing appetite, and helping with insulin regulation, which supports weight loss and benefits conditions like type 2 diabetes and PCOS. However, I also share that they're not magic pills, you still need healthy habits like eating well and exercising. I highlight possible side effects, such as nausea or pancreatitis risks, and emphasize that stopping these medications can lead to increased hunger, cravings, weight regain, and even emotional distress. But I also reassure you that this isn't a sign of failure. Weight regain is often biological, not personal. I offer tips for tapering off safely, reinforcing lifestyle habits, and exploring other options. Most importantly, I remind you that your journey is valid, you're not alone, and lasting success requires a plan, support, and self-compassion. Tune in to learn what really happens when you stop taking GLP-1 medications—and how to stay empowered and in control of your weight journey.   Episode Highlights: How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy work Common side effects and safety considerations What to expect when stopping GLP-1s, both physically and emotionally Strategies to manage weight regain and maintain healthy habits Alternative tools and support options beyond medication Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Arresting A Serial Criminal That Attacked Women. What better place than a courtroom to find a violent serial criminal, but to get to Court you have to arrest them first. Brian Surber, a seasoned attorney and former special agent, is our guest. The courthouse wasn't off-limits for the predators he's faced. Surber, who brings experience from both the prosecution and law enforcement sides of the justice system, shares gripping firsthand accounts of tracking, arresting, and prosecuting some of the most dangerous criminals in America, including a serial attacker whose crimes spanned states and whose victims were often unaware they were being watched, followed, and targeted. The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. In a special podcast episode now available on Apple, Spotify, and shared widely across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms, Surber recounts the dramatic story of taking down a serial criminal that attacked women. “These weren't crimes of opportunity,” Surber says. “They were premeditated. This individual targeted women, tracked their routines, and even used social engineering tactics online and in person. What stood out was the level of planning and confidence, he believed he couldn't be stopped.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Brian Surber served as a prosecuting attorney and also worked with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control, giving him a rare dual perspective: one that spans investigation and courtroom prosecution. Over the course of his career, he's helped dismantle violent drug gangs, secure convictions for high-profile offenders, and navigate complex cases where digital footprints, DNA evidence, and survivor testimony intertwine. Arresting A Serial Criminal That Attacked Women. “One of the most horrifying cases involved a serial rapist who used surveillance of victims,” Surber explains. “He would attack them and systematically erase any sense of control they had left. These predators know how to hide in plain sight.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Statistics support the pattern. According to multiple studies, serial rapists often go undetected for years due to a combination of rape kit backlogs and the tendency for early victims not to report. Research from Case Western Reserve University revealed that 60% of serial rapists had been previously arrested for other sexual assaults, a fact that underscores the importance of early intervention and vigilant policing. Surber's work highlights this point precisely: catching these offenders early is crucial not only to prevent future assaults but also to expose patterns that only emerge over time. “Many of these men had long histories of violence, often rooted in their own trauma. But that doesn't excuse the choices they made,” Surber says. “Their use of threats, drugging, stalking, and predatory behavior wasn't random, it was calculated.” Arresting A Serial Criminal That Attacked Women. The FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, created in 1974, was instrumental in identifying behavioral patterns that would later help in arresting serial predators. Surber often consulted with behavioral experts to map the escalation patterns, from juvenile fetish crimes and voyeurism to full-blown violent assaults. In one study of 41 serial rapists, researchers found over 1,200 attempted and completed rapes, yet only 200 convictions. “That's a terrifying statistic,” Surber adds, “and it proves how much work we still have to do.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The conversation takes a sharp turn when Surber critiques the growing push for criminal justice reform, a movement he argues has been clouded by emotion rather than rooted in facts. “We're seeing people who push dangerous policies under the guise of reform,” he says. “But the truth is, these reforms have in many cases made it harder to protect victims and prosecute predators.” His book, "Injustice for All: The (Familiar) Fallacies of Criminal Justice Reform," aims to expose the unintended consequences of poorly conceived reform efforts. “We're not talking about harmless offenders. We're talking about men who assault dozens of women, sometimes in public or inside institutions meant to protect them,” he writes. “And then we're asked to soften our approach? That's insanity.” Surber's experiences, and his words, are raw, honest, and deeply unsettling. But they are also necessary. Through his website, BrianSurber.com, and appearances on news platforms, podcasts, and social media, he's sparking urgent conversations about how to better protect women, how to hold serial criminals accountable, and why we must never let false narratives cloud the fight for justice. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Arresting A Serial Criminal That Attacked Women. “Criminal justice isn't about how we feel,” Surber says in the podcast. “It's about what we can prove. And it's about keeping dangerous people off the streets before they destroy more lives.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. To learn more about his work and upcoming appearances, visit BrianSurber.com or follow him on social platforms.

I dive into the four main types I see in my practice: Hungry Brain, Emotional Hunger, Hungry Gut, and Slow Burn, and how understanding which one you align with can dramatically improve your treatment strategy. I also reflect on my own experiences, and those of my patients, emphasizing that it's not about willpower but biology and behavior. By identifying your phenotype, you can better tailor diets, medications, and lifestyle changes that work with your body instead of against it.

Welcome to Season 14 Episode 18 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this episode, Case Western Reserve University Head Men's Tennis Coach, Todd Wojtkowski, offers a little calm after the perfect storm of our last episode. This podcast was filmed live from Claremont Mudd-Scripps in Claremont, CA, host to the 2025 NCAA DIII Men's & Women's Tennis Championships.Todd Wojtkowski has built the Case Western Reserve University men's tennis team into one of the top programs in all of Division III during his 16 seasons at the team's helm, which includes guiding the squad to the NCAA Division III Championship in 2023, the first-ever team title won by a CWRU team in any sport. The National Championship came on the heels of back-to-back finishes at the NCAA Championship each of the previous two years, including in 2021 when he was named the Wilson/ ITA National Coach of the Year. Wojtkowski went on to lead the Spartans back to the NCAA quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive season in 2024. Now they find themselves back in the Elite 8 as they compete for the 2025 title.I first met Todd about 10 years ago. We had been corresponding electronically since the beginning of ParentingAces, so it was a real treat to run into him at Indian Wells and put a face to a name. We've stayed in contact over the years, but, recently, Todd's name has come up in multiple conversations I've had with industry leaders, other college coaches, and even Tennis Parents, so I was thrilled to learn he'd be with his team only an hour from my home and was willing to sit down and talk tennis with me.Todd's approach to the sport is so balanced and so heartfelt and 100% aligned with what we are trying to accomplish with ParentingAces. I hope you enjoy hearing his thoughts on the DIII experience, what he looks for in a recruit, and the future of not only college tennis but tennis in its entirety.Coach Wojtkowski has generously offered to take part in a follow-up Q&A with the ParentingAces community to answer any questions or concerns that may pop up as you listen to our conversation.

Did you know that some weight loss medications can help people lose up to 20% of their body weight, comparable to bariatric surgery outcomes? In this episode, I dive into the latest research comparing two major weight loss medications, Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide), based on findings from the 72-week SURMOUNT-5 trial. I explain how Zepbound led to greater weight loss (about 20.2% vs. 13.7% with Wegovy), possibly due to its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Both drugs were generally well tolerated, with similar side effects like nausea and constipation, though Wegovy had slightly more people stop due to GI issues. I also emphasize that while Zepbound may appear more effective, individual needs, such as cardiovascular health or sleep apnea, should guide treatment decisions. Lastly, I remind you that sustainable weight loss requires patience, realistic expectations, and a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes, not just medication. Tune in to this episode to learn which weight loss medication might be right for you and why your journey to health is more than just the number on the scale.   Episode Highlights: Comparison of Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) Average weight loss outcomes and waist circumference changes between both medications Mechanism of action: GLP-1 vs. dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor targeting Side effect profiles and tolerability of both medications FDA approval differences, including cardiovascular risk reduction and sleep apnea treatment Importance of personalized treatment plans and setting realistic weight loss expectations Ongoing research into oral formulations and long-term safety studies Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

As artificial intelligence capabilities and related infrastructural demands have exploded in recent years, we have been keeping an eye on the implications for the Ten Across region.  To help kick off our summer podcast series on the subject of AI, Arizona State University's chief information officer Lev Gonick joins us to explore the ways AI is reshaping education, urban development and predictive sciences—as well as its effects on human relationships.  As CIO, Lev leads ASU's AI strategy to stay ahead of the curve for higher ed. ASU was the first university to partner with OpenAI in 2023. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to develop and report on innovative uses of AI in their respective work. The university in turn is working to capture and disseminate this fast-developing body of knowledge to advance its own pursuits and those of the greater local and regional economies. As this technology expands its reach, ASU graduates are expected to have a sophisticated understanding of its potential within their chosen fields, and as a result, to have a lasting edge in a competitive job market.  We'll also talk to Lev about his early-2000s success in expanding broadband internet access for urban Cleveland, Ohio, as high-speed internet became necessary for economic mobility. Lev's work informed federal efforts to create equitable technological infrastructure that is needed more than ever in an increasingly digital world, but faces a tough political climate today. Finally, given the serious water and energy tradeoffs associated with this technological leap, this conversation and others in the series will consider the careful balances the Ten Across region needs to strike in creating sustainable economic growth.   Relevant articles and resources:  “U.S. Literacy Rates by State 2024” (usadatahub.com)   “Are Data Centers Depleting the Southwest's Water and Energy Resources?” (APM Research Lab/Ten Across, February 2025)  “The AI Journey” (ASU Enterprise Technology, October 2024)  “The Importance of Place in U.S. Higher Ed with Michael Crow” (Ten Across Conversations, May 2025)  Credits:   Host: Duke Reiter  Producer and editor: Taylor Griffith  Music by: William Claeson  Research and supportive provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine Butler  About our guestLev Gonick is an educator, technologist, and smart city architect.

While CIO of Case Western Reserve University from 2001 to 2013, Lev led a Case Connection Zone project connecting underserved Cleveland residents to university internet services, which spurred the Obama-era US Ignite initiative to expand U.S. broadband access.

Under the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to regulate emissions that “cause, or contribute to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.” The Supreme Court held in Massachusetts v. EPA that greenhouse gases are considered pollutants under the Act, so whether they can be regulated depends on whether they endanger public health. The EPA issued the Endangerment Finding that greenhouse gas emissions cross this threshold in 2009. Any actual regulation of greenhouse gas emissions is issued by EPA separately, such as greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles. On March 12th, 2025, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced that the EPA would be initiating “formal reconsideration of the 2009 Endangerment Finding in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and other relevant agencies.” Join us Friday, May 9th, from 11am – 12pm EST, as our panel of legal experts discusses the various questions surrounding the proposed revisions, such as preemption, cost revision, and how these changes would be implemented.

Luke Gromen: Gold Can be Used to Rebalance the Global Economy Without a World War

Tom welcomes back Luke Gromen of Forest For The Trees back to the show. The discussion delves into complex economic and geopolitical dynamics, focusing on how global powers might navigate a transition away from the dollar-based system towards a neutral reserve asset like gold. He begins by highlighting that the current dollar-centric system is unsustainable due to high deficits and debt levels. A potential solution, he suggests, involves using gold as a neutral reserve asset, which would allow commodities to be priced in multiple currencies and facilitate trade settlements. This shift could create a more balanced and resilient global economic framework. Moving on to geopolitical implications, Gromen notes that the conflict in Ukraine has underscored the limitations of conventional military strategies, shifting the balance of power dynamics. He points out that countries like Russia and China are driving efforts to move away from the dollar system, which necessitates a new economic framework. This transition is not just an economic shift but also a significant geopolitical realignment. Luke emphasizes the importance of incentives for avoiding direct military confrontation with major powers. He explains that such conflicts are strategically unwise due to nuclear deterrence and the deep interdependence of economies. Instead, he argues that negotiating a new economic order aligns with long-term strategic interests and avoids the catastrophic consequences of war. Drawing on historical context, Mr. Gromen observes that the post-World War II debt-based economy is nearing its limits, making it imperative to return to a more sustainable model. He suggests that transitioning to gold as a reserve asset could reboot global economies, fostering stability and growth without resorting to conflict. This approach not only addresses current economic challenges but also positions nations for future prosperity.

What have we lost when the expert aesthetic judgement of professors and literary critics is replaced by the marketplace and bestseller lists? How can someone be both a critic and a creator, and do those identities improve or detract from each other?Michael W. Clune is a professor at Case Western Reserve University and the author of several books, including the subject of this discussion, A Defense of Judgment, and the upcoming novel Pan.Greg and Michael discuss Michael's perspective on the necessity of judgment in the study of literature and the arts, contrasting it with the modern academic trend that moves away from making definitive evaluations. Michael draws parallels between literary criticism and economics, highlighting a shift towards egalitarianism and market-driven valuations at the expense of aesthetic judgment. Their conversation delves into the historical evolution of these ideas, the importance of close reading, and the role of literary education in transforming personal taste and understanding. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Michael finds it counterintuitive and strange that there is no public standard for distinguishing great art from mediocre art.05:18 To say that there's no public standard for judging some work's better than the other and to say that everyone should make their own judgements and professors and critics and museum curators shouldn't try to tell people what's good and what's not, that presents as like, oh, everyone gets to choose.There's no public standard. But in fact, what you actually see happening is that it's the replacement of one standard, the judgment of those educated in the arts by another standard, which is the marketplace. And so, bestseller lists basically replace the canon that's constantly changing and there's all of complex judgments, but that's basically the displacement. So in fact, it's not really an egalitarian move in the way that many of its proponents take it to be. It's actually a disavowal of the expertise of aesthetic educators and throwing everything to the kinds of orderings produced by the marketplace.Everyone can make artistic judgments.03:01 There's no coherent way to do literary study or to teach art history without making judgments all the time. That's just the nature of it.The practice of teaching literature requires tacit skills. 20:01 When it comes down to the brass tacks of pedagogy of teaching, and this is a famous thing about literary study, let's say Moby Dick, you could imagine a version of the class where I just talk about Moby Dick and no one reads it, and I describe how great it is and how wonderful it is, and how it's surprising and strange and so forth. You could do that in chemistry. You could do something like that in economics or in physics, but in literature, the student has to encounter it for him or herself, right? It's like nothing is happening unless they're encountering for themselves, unless they have the experience in which something magical is disclosed to them. And so, the actual practice of teaching literature involves what the chemist and philosopher of science Michael Polanyi, described as tacit skills, which is really simply a kind of knowing how, without being able to say exactly what you're doing.Aesthetic education is a vital human need and universities are failing to provide it44:01 The desire for aesthetic education, the desire to have one's taste, be guided to know what books one should look at, how one should read those books, how one should spend one's precious time. That desire is totally out there and is very strong and is not being met by literature departments in the way that I think they should. I think it's a tragedy and a big mistake that literature in our departments are no longer fulfilling that vital human need. Show Links:Recommended Resources:Democracy in AmericaLéon WalrasCarl MengerWilliam Stanley JevonsMichael PolanyiIn Praise of Commercial CultureCultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon FormationDavid HumeImmanuel KantJohn KeatsGwendolyn BrooksMoby-DickH.

Have you ever wondered how obesity can raise the risk for certain cancers? Today's episode breaks down the real connection in a simple, honest way — and why it matters for your health and future. In this episode, I talk about how excess body weight can lead to chronic inflammation, raise hormone levels like estrogen and insulin, and create an environment where cancer cells can grow more easily. I explain how obesity is linked to at least 13 types of cancers, including breast, colon, and liver cancers. We also discuss the critical role of preventive screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies, especially for those with a higher risk. I share why knowing your family history is important and why many people with obesity miss out on necessary tests because of weight stigma and bias in healthcare. We cover real-life challenges, like how medical equipment isn't always designed for larger bodies, and how that creates serious barriers. I also dive into hopeful news about how weight loss, medications like metformin, orlistat, and GLP-1 receptor agonists can help lower cancer risks. Throughout the conversation, I emphasize that compassionate, respectful care is a right, not a privilege. Listen to the full episode to learn how to advocate for yourself, find the right doctors, and take powerful steps toward protecting your health. You are worthy of good care at every stage of your journey.   Episode Highlights: How obesity leads to chronic inflammation and raises hormone levels linked to cancer The connection between obesity and at least 13 types of cancer The importance of early cancer screenings and knowing your family medical history How weight stigma and bias affect access to healthcare and screenings The physical barriers larger patients face in medical settings How weight loss can lower cancer risk and improve overall health The role of medications like metformin, orlistat, and GLP-1 receptor agonists in reducing cancer risk Encouragement to seek compassionate, weight-inclusive healthcare Practical steps for patients to advocate for respectful and appropriate care Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Story at-a-glance Chronic inflammation drives diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer and autoimmune conditions. However, standard tests only measure generalized inflammation and does not pinpoint the exact tissues affected Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a new method to track inflammation at its source using antibodies that detect molecular markers left by reactive oxygen species (ROS) Unlike traditional markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), this new approach could allow doctors to identify specific organs under inflammatory stress, leading to earlier and more precise diagnoses Emerging research challenges the idea that chronic inflammation is just unresolved acute inflammation. Researchers suggest it results from a lack of anti-inflammatory mediators, not just excessive inflammatory signaling Key drivers of chronic inflammation include excess linoleic acid, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, endotoxins and electromagnetic fields (EMFs)

Our immune system operates like a finely tuned symphony, yet many of us find ourselves out of harmony, vulnerable to persistent infections, autoimmune conditions, and chronic disease. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, a Functional Medicine approach seeks to identify and address the underlying disruptions driving immune imbalance. Central to this dysfunction is compromised gut health, which undermines immune regulation, while mitochondrial impairment and chronic inflammation further erode the body's capacity for resilience and repair. By restoring balance at the root level, we can cultivate a more robust and adaptive immune system. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elroy Vojdani and Dr. Leonard Calabrese, how cleaning up our diets, improving gut health, removing toxins, and decreasing stress can do wonders for our immune systems. Dr. Elroy Vojdani is a pioneer in the field of functional medicine and research and is the founder of Regenera Medical, a concierge functional medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from USC Keck School of Medicine, is a certified Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Dr. Vojdani has conducted medical scientific research for decades with more than 25 publications in multiple peer-reviewed journals. He is also world-renowned for his research and development of state-of-the-art lab testing in the field of immunology. He recently authored a book entitled “When Food Bites Back” which discusses the role of food immune reactions in the development of autoimmune disease.  Dr. Leonard Calabrese, is an expert in immunology and rheumatology. In fact, he is a Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and Vice Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases. Dr. Calabrese is the director of the RJ Fasenmyer Center for Clinical Immunology at the Cleveland Clinic and holds joint appointments in the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Wellness Institute. Dr. Calabrese has made significant contributions to science in the fields of chronic viral infections and autoimmunity and vascular inflammatory diseases of the brain. He has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the advancements of immunology and wellness. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.
