“It wasn't a profession, it was a way of life,” observes internationally respected psychiatrist Dr. Nasser Loza, reflecting on a century-long family legacy in mental health care that began when his grandfather founded The Behman Hospital in Cairo. In this candid Raise the Line conversation with host Michael Carrese, Dr. Loza traces the transformation of psychiatry he's witnessed in his long career as increases in classifications, payment bureaucracy, reliance on pharmaceuticals, and technological disruption have each left their mark. The cumulative costs associated with these changes have, he laments, pushed care out of reach for many and hindered the human connection that is key to the discipline. He describes his prescription for countering these trends as a focus on effective and modest aims. “Rather than saying, come and see me in therapy for five years and I will make a better person out of you, I think focusing on symptom-targeted help is going to be what is needed.”  In this wide-ranging interview, you'll also learn about progress on advancing the rights of mental health patients and lowering stigmas, how to manage the rise of online therapy and use of AI chatbots, and the importance of empathy and transparency in mental health counseling. Don't miss this valuable perspective on a critically important dimension of healthcare that's informed by decades of experience as a clinician, government official and global advocate. Mentioned in this episode:The Behman HospitalMaadi Psychology Center If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

This week on One Dream Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Leah Wilson discuss the importance of health freedom and personal empowerment in making health decisions and revleal a big secret! They critique the medical industrial complex, emphasizing the need for individuals to reclaim their health authority and trust their bodies. The discussion covers the impact of COVID-19 on public health policies, the dangers of fluoride in drinking water, and the ongoing lawsuit against the CDC regarding vaccine mandates. The Wilsons advocate for a vitalistic approach to health, encouraging listeners to embrace their innate ability to heal and make informed choices for their families. Takeaways: Health freedom is about making personal health decisions. Capital M medicine prioritizes profit over true healing. Natural health practices can enhance vitality. The CDC's vaccine schedule lacks comprehensive research. Empowerment comes from understanding health sovereignty. Vitalism recognizes the body's innate healing abilities. Parents should be trusted to make health decisions for their children. The movement for health freedom is gaining momentum. Resources Mentioned: Reclaim Vitality, PRE-ORDER NOW ON AMAZON!

“When I was in medical school, no one had even heard of mitochondrial disease. Today, every student who graduates here knows what it is and has seen a patient with it,” says Dr. Mary Kay Koenig, director of the Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease at UTHealth Houston McGovern Medical School. That remarkable change in awareness has been accompanied by advances in genetic sequencing, the development of clinical guidelines, and the emergence of potential treatments in some forms of mitochondrial disease. In fact, Dr. Koenig's multidisciplinary team at UTHealth's Mitochondrial Center of Excellence has been a key player in clinical trials that may yield the first FDA-approved treatments for it. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra conversation with host Michael Carrese, her work in neurodegenerative diseases also includes tuberous sclerosis, where advanced therapies have replaced the need for repeated surgeries, and Leigh Syndrome, which has seen improvements in diagnoses and supportive therapies leading to better quality of life for patients.  Tune in as Dr. Koenig reflects on an era of progress in the space, the rewards of balancing research, teaching and patient care, and the need for more clinicians to center listening, humility and honesty in their approach to caring for rare disease patients and their  families.Mentioned in this episode:Mitochondrial Center of ExcellenceCenter for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode, Rebecca talks with longtime friend and former economic developer Justin Neppl about what it really means to reimagine economic development for small towns. For years, economic development has focused on the same things, but the future looks different. This episode is about collaboration, trust, and people-centered leadership and how they can come together to update traditional models to make futures brighter for our small towns. About Justin: Justin Neppl is a community-focused entrepreneur from Breckenridge, Minnesota, where he lives with his wife, Jamie, and their three children — Karsyn, Easton, and Addy. He is the co-owner of Tiny Tykes Inc., a growing childcare company that has recently begun franchising across the Upper Midwest, with the goal of helping both small and mid-sized communities expand access to quality childcare. In addition to his work in childcare, Justin has partnered with local stakeholders to revitalize Breckenridge's Main Street and address community housing needs — from rehabilitation projects to new construction. Through his partnership with GFY Custom Crafts, he is helping bring affordable, high-quality housing options to communities across Minnesota and North Dakota. Justin is also developing a craft distillery in his hometown that celebrates the agricultural heritage of the Red River Valley. Outside of work, he enjoys hunting a variety of game with his family and coaching youth hockey in the local association. His passion for entrepreneurship and rural revitalization drives his mission to make small towns stronger, more vibrant places to live and raise a family. In this episode, we cover: Why traditional economic development models are breaking down Why sharing the load and tapping into expertise is better than having one overextended leader Real-world examples of communities leading differently Why boards, councils, and communities' collaboration can be the make or break  Why reimagining economic development starts with people Links + Resources Mentioned: Tiny Tykes Franchise: https://tinytykesfranchise.com/ GFY Custom Crafts: https://www.gfycustomcrafts.com/home.html Hankinson YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR6OvMUaaBY&t=425s Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine.

“Giving learners options gives them a better learning experience. It's more holistic and more comprehensive,” says Sean Moloney, CEO and founder of EmbodyXR, an extended reality platform focused on the use of immersive technologies in medical education. In this eye-opening Raise the Line conversation, Moloney explains how AI-powered extended reality (XR) --which integrates augmented, virtual, and simulation-based environments -- allows learners to interact with patients, explore multiple diagnostic choices, and experience varied outcomes based on their decisions. The result, he notes, is not only stronger engagement in learning, but a measurable improvement in understanding. Despite these gains, Moloney is quick to point out that he sees these technologies as complements to traditional training, not substitutes for it. “We'll never replace in-person teaching,” he says, “but we can make learners even better.” Beyond training future clinicians, the EmbodyXR platform is also offering new modes of patient and caregiver education, such as augmented reality guidance for using medical devices at home. Join host Lindsey Smith as she explores how EmbodyXR achieves and maintains clinical accuracy, the connectivity it offers between headsets, personal computers and mobile devices, and other capabilities that are shaping the future of how healthcare professionals and patients will learn. Mentioned in this episode:EmbodyXR If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Send us a textAre fertility clinics telling you the whole truth about their success rates? In this episode, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the hidden math behind IVF statistics — and exposes how “creative marketing” can make average results look amazing.Learn why pregnancy rates don't always mean babies, how clinics use “per transfer” versus “per cycle” numbers to their advantage, and what to look for in real CDC data before choosing a fertility center.From the “we take the toughest patients” myth to the truth about PGT and donor egg statistics, you'll walk away knowing how to read through the hype and make sense of the numbers that actually matter — the ones that lead to a baby in your arms.

Dr. Tom Frieden has spent his career on the front lines of public health, from leading the CDC during the Ebola crisis to running New York City's Health Department. Now, as head of Resolve to Save Lives, he's written The Formula for Better Health. Here's the key idea: most of the health tragedies we fear — heart attacks, strokes, many cancers — are avoidable.

Good day, and welcome to Day 14 of the government shutdown. The latest frustrating YouGov poll on the shutdown. The myth of Republicans and the economy. 1,300 CDC employees were laid off Friday by mistake. The latest on the Israel-Hamas cease fire. Donald's celebrating might be premature. Donald's deal is actually Biden's deal. What the heck was Tiny Trump talking about? Donald on Egypt's crime rate. Donald can't remember who was president on January 6. There was clearly a deal between the administration and Ghislaine Maxwell. Eric Swalwell's bombshell. Heroes of Democracy. DNC chair Ken Martin endorses Mamdani.

Today's Headlines: The last 20 living Israeli hostages were reunited with their families yesterday as Israel and Hamas completed their biggest prisoner exchange yet—250 prisoners and 1,700 detainees released to Gaza. President Trump marked the moment by urging Israel's president to pardon Bibi before heading to the Egypt peace summit, where Pakistan's PM nominated him for next year's Nobel Peace Prize. Sure, why not. The ceasefire deal came just days after Trump gave Qatar the green light to build a U.S. Air Force base in Idaho and guaranteed its national security—something we've never done for a non-NATO ally. Meanwhile, he's threatening 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports starting November 1st, sending crypto prices crashing (but making one mystery trader $200 million richer). Next on his Nobel campaign tour, Trump meets Zelensky on Friday, floated giving Ukraine Tomahawk missiles. In other news, the DOJ is expected to charge his ex-adviser John Bolton for mishandling classified documents, the government shutdown hit day 11 with over 4,000 federal workers laid off—including teams from Education, HUD, and the CDC—while military families are turning to food pantries and Philly just lost its only rape crisis center. And finally, Dominion Voting Systems—the company Fox paid $800M for lying about—has been bought by a Missouri firm run by a former GOP election official.

On Saturday, the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of hundreds of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who were mistakenly fired the day before. Apoorva Mandavilli, science and global health reporter at The New York Times, explains what happened and who remains at the CDC.

Over the weekend, roughly 1,300 employees at the CDC received notices they were fired. As the Trump administration realized it had fired some key staff, reportedly half of them were reinstated the next day. It still leaves the health agency without many crucial professionals. Amna Nawaz discussed the impact with Dr. Nirav Shah. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

Israel awaits for remaining hostages to be released; Nor'easter brings heavy rains, dangerous East Coast flood threat; Trump administration reverses layoffs for some CDC staff; and more on tonight's broadcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, it's just Chad, Haley and Mary Lou. Bob's resting. But we break down another wild week in America under Trump's second term.

How the Trump administration is trying to seize power from states and is actively trying to consolidate those powers within the executive branch; Brandy Zadrozny breaks down her new reporting on how entire offices at the CDC have been wiped out and why one former CDC employee says the agency “is over”; Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield discusses his lawsuit against the Trump administration for violating the state's sovereignty; Rev. Al Sharpton describes what will happen if the Supreme Court upends what remains of the Voting Rights Act Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leftist fantasies are now on full display for the world to see, and that looks like part of the plan. Tonight's first 56 minutes is a federal employee chat group plotting subversive noncompliance. Group sessions for hate therapy. A checkoff list for bitching. With twisted history and shallow reasoning. On our dime, they plan to bring down the government. These calls should never have taken place. There's 20 participants involved just from the CDC. Laptop issues plague us. Iran, Venezuela, Ukraine, they've all had civil disobedience. Who handles the organization, finance and management of these efforts? We are propping up the new praetorians again. It's not science or service, it's strategy. They use the vocabulary of political safety. It's a mix of truth, narrative framing and outright fiction. We always ask who benefits? And how do narratives migrate? The patterns are hidden in plain sight. Our exported revolutions are returning home. The war is soft but the stakes are high. Hope lives in those who refuse to be motivated by fear. The Phoebe case is moving forward. Behind their words is the same soft power coup strategy that's been used forever. The subtle hints about non human intelligent life. Will the real John Titor please stand up? That's a good memory for such a little girl. Here is a real story about a gifted child we all know.

This week has been… a lot. On Thursday, Israel's cabinet approved the first phase of a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel, which would end the fighting in Gaza and return all Israeli hostages, living and dead. But the news didn't stop there – with President Donald Trump threatening National Guard deployments in both Chicago and Portland, and both cities responding by heading to court. And don't forget, we're in the second week of a government shutdown with no end in sight. To unpack it all, we spoke to Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor.And in headlines, a federal judge temporarily blocks the President's National Guard deployment in Chicago, the CDC quietly updates its COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for pregnant women, and trick-or-treaters this year might find their bags less full of chocolate and more full of gum.Show Notes:Check out Pod Save America – https://tinyurl.com/4829tpp9Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
