Derek Champagne talks with the Godfather of reissue culture, Richard Foos. Richard Foos launched his entertainment career shortly after college in a small storefront on Santa Monica Boulevard. What began as a quirky record store evolved into Rhino Records, one of the most respected reissue labels in the world. It became a hub for collectors, and in 1978, he and his partner, Harold Bronson, launched the label. The Rhino team is credited with inventing “reissue culture,” which in the aggregate has sold many hundreds of millions of records and CDs. In 1998, Rhino Entertainment Company was fully acquired by Time Warner. It became the catalogue development and marketing division of Warner Music Group, where it continues today, reissuing the great artists on Warner labels. Richard stayed with the company until 2002. In 2003, Richard and his two partners, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, launched Shout! Factory, shifting the focus toward TV and film. Shout! Studios is now a part of Radial Entertainment, where Richard serves as a consultant for the company. Beyond business, Richard is also known for his social activism. Foos currently serves as Board Chair of both TheNarrative Method and Volunteer Collective. He also serves on the Board of Governors of Cedars Sinai, and on the boards of Pico Union Project, Inc., Brave New Films, College Match LA, and Hoover Intergenerational Care, which he co-founded in 1976. Richard is married to therapist Shari Foos, who is the founder of The Narrative Method.Visit Radial EntertainmentBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

Your body already knows how to heal. Most women just haven't been taught to trust it.In this episode of Women Awakening, Cynthia James sits down with Dr. Donese Worden, NMD, award-winning integrative physician, global speaker, and pioneer bridging conventional and alternative medicine, for a conversation that will change the way you think about your health.

Send us Fan MailCancer doesn't just sit there while we attack it. It evolves.We give a patient a powerful drug. The tumor shrinks. It looks like we've won.But somewhere inside that tumor may be a small population of cells that figured out how to survive. Those cells can eventually multiply, the cancer returns, and the drug that once worked no longer works.So what if, instead of continually chasing cancer with newer and newer drugs, we could turn off the biological escape routes that allow cancer to become resistant in the first place?Dr. John Yu, MD is the Founder and CEO of Kairos Pharma ( https://kairospharma.com/ ), a clinical-stage oncology company spun out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center that is developing therapies designed to overcome cancer drug resistance and immune suppression.Dr. Yu is also Professor and Clinical Chief of Neurosurgery at Cedars-Sinai and Director of Surgical Neuro-Oncology ( https://www.cedars-sinai.org/provider/john-yu-2181236.html ). His career sits at a fascinating intersection of neurosurgery, immunology and cancer biology.Dr. Yu earned undergraduate degrees in biology and French from Stanford University, his MD from Harvard Medical School through the Harvard-MIT program, completed his neurosurgery residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and pursued immunology research at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.Over the course of his career, Dr. Yu has developed eight FDA investigational drugs and holds multiple patents spanning immunotherapy and nanotechnology.At Kairos, that scientific journey has led to a particularly interesting strategy: targeting CD105, also known as endoglin, a protein that appears to become elevated as tumors develop resistance to certain cancer therapies.The company's lead candidate, ENV105, is an antibody designed to inhibit CD105 and potentially re-sensitize resistant tumors to therapies that had stopped working. Kairos is currently evaluating ENV105 in Phase 2 prostate cancer and Phase 1 lung cancer studies.On this episode we talk about one of the great challenges in modern oncology - why cancer becomes resistant, whether that resistance can actually be reversed, and whether we can turn some of our existing cancer drugs back into powerful weapons against the disease.#Cancer #CancerResearch #CancerTreatment #CancerDrugResistance #Oncology #Immunotherapy #PrecisionMedicine #Biotechnology #Biotech #DrugDevelopment #CancerTherapy #ProstateCancer #LungCancer #LungCancerResearch #ProstateCancerResearch #ImmunoOncology #TargetedTherapy #DrugResistance #CancerBiology #CD105 #Endoglin #ENV105 #KairosPharma #JohnYu #MedicalResearch #Pharma #HealthcareInnovation #CancerScience #ClinicalTrials #ProgressPotentialAndPossibilitiesSupport the show

How much of your marketing technology budget is quietly underperforming, not because the software is flawed, but because your teams can't, or won't, fully adopt it?Because real agility was never about buying faster tools. It's about having an operating model that can actually turn a tool's potential into results, and keep doing it as the tools keep changing.Today we're digging into the phase that quietly decides whether any martech investment pays off: what happens after the contract is signed with things like implementation and adoption. We'll get into:- Why rollouts stall — and why the real cause is usually the operating model, not the tool.- What it takes to move a team from "trained" to genuinely changed.- How to measure real value without fooling yourself with usage metrics.- And what shifts once the platform starts doing some of the work itself.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kate Dalbey, Chief Client Officer at Qualified Digital.About Kate DalbeyAs CCO, Kate leads client management and growth initiatives at Qualified Digital, bringing over 20 years of digital marketing experience from both client-side and agency-side roles.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections in older adults, but in people living with dementia, they can trigger a sudden and dramatic change in behavior and cognition. A UTI that might cause mild discomfort in a younger, healthier person can instead set off delirium — an acute, fluctuating state of confusion — in someone with Alzheimer's or a related dementia.Dr. Shouri Lahiri is director of the Neurosciences Critical Care Unit and Neurocritical Care Research at Cedars-Sinai and leads the Lahiri Lab. His research focuses on the inflammatory mechanisms that link acute illnesses and infections to delirium and cognitive decline, including the role of immune signaling in brain changes during infection.In this conversation with Being Patient founder Deborah Kan, Lahiri explained why up to one-third of older adults with a UTI can develop delirium, and why that risk is even higher for people with dementia, who have less cognitive reserve to draw on. He discussed why early antibiotic treatment is critical and what caregivers can do — from monitoring hydration and sleep-wake cycles to recognizing subtle signs of urinary discomfort — to help prevent and manage delirium at home. He also shared where his lab's research into anti-inflammatory treatments currently stands.----If you loved this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

AI in medicine is rapidly changing how doctors analyze symptoms, review lab results, evaluate research, and make clinical decisions. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, a board-certified anesthesiologist and interventional pain specialist at BioReset Medical, to discuss how artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping the future of healthcare.They explore why doctors should view AI as a clinical assistant rather than a replacement, and how emerging tools may help improve diagnostic support, patient education, research discovery, clinical workflows, and personalized medicine. The conversation also addresses the risks of AI in healthcare, including overreliance, bias, incomplete context, accountability, and the importance of keeping trained clinicians at the center of medical decision-making.If you are interested in artificial intelligence in medicine, machine learning in healthcare, personalized medicine, regenerative medicine, or the future of doctor-patient care, this episode offers a practical look at both the promise and limitations of AI.Get 10% off your first order at Dr. Jones Supplement Store when you join the email list. https://drjonessupplements.com/

Send us Fan MailHeart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and one of its most important modifiable risk factors is elevated LDL cholesterol - the so-called "bad cholesterol." While statins have transformed cardiovascular care for decades, and newer therapies like injectable PCSK9 inhibitors have provided additional options, millions of patients still struggle to achieve recommended LDL cholesterol targets.In fact, despite the availability of effective therapies, roughly seventy percent of patients receiving cholesterol-lowering treatment still fail to reach guideline-recommended LDL cholesterol levels. The reasons are complex - from biology and treatment intensity to adherence and convenience - but the result is the same: preventable heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths continue to occur.Now, a new chapter is beginning. Following years of clinical development, the FDA has approved LIPFENDRA™ (enlicitide), the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor, introducing an entirely new approach to LDL cholesterol reduction ( https://www.lipfendra.com/ ).Joining us today is someone uniquely qualified to help us understand what this approval means for physicians and patients.Dr. Norman Lepor, MD is Founder and Director of the National Heart Institute ( https://nationalheartinstitute.org/about/meet-our-team ), Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and an Attending Cardiologist at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai ( https://www.cedars-sinai.org/provider/norman-lepor-106852.html ). A graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Lepor has spent more than four decades advancing cardiovascular medicine through patient care, education, and clinical research. He has served as principal investigator on more than sixty clinical trials, authored dozens of influential scientific publications, and has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's leading cardiologists. Throughout his career he has also been a champion for women's cardiovascular health and improving access to cutting-edge care for underserved populations.Today we'll discuss why LDL cholesterol remains such a difficult public health challenge, what we've learned over the past three decades of lipid management, how oral PCSK9 inhibition works, and what this newly approved therapy may mean for the future of preventing heart attacks and strokes.#HeartHealth #Cholesterol #LDL #Cardiology #HeartDisease #Prevention #PreventiveMedicine #LIPFENDRA #Enlicitide #PCSK9 #PrecisionMedicine #Longevity #CardiovascularHealth #MedicalInnovation #Biotech #FutureOfMedicine #HealthyAging #SciencePodcast #ProgressPotentialPossibilities #PPPPodcastSupport the show

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners, entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators about how they get inspired, organize ideas, and turn imagination into impact.Today's guest didn't just build a successful business—he helped create an entirely new category within the entertainment industry.Richard Foos was the co-founder of Rhino Records and most recently of Shout! Factory, two companies that transformed the way music, television, and film archives are valued, distributed, and monetized. What began as a passion for out-of-print records became a movement that helped define today's streaming culture, vinyl resurgence, and the growing importance of content libraries.Richard's WebsiteRichard's Facebook pageWe'll explore creativity, entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and what happens when you discover opportunity hiding in plain sight.Guest BioRichard Foos is the co-founder of Rhino Records, one of the most influential reissue labels in music history, and later Shout! Factory, a pioneering company focused on television and film distribution.Beginning with a small record store on Santa Monica Boulevard, Richard and his partner Harold Bronson built Rhino into a globally respected brand known for preserving, restoring, and reintroducing forgotten and out-of-print music to new generations of listeners.The success of Rhino helped establish what many now call reissue culture—a model that transformed entertainment economics by demonstrating the long-term value of existing catalogs. Rhino was eventually acquired by Time Warner and became the catalog development and marketing division of Warner Music Group.Richard later co-founded Shout! Factory, bringing similar innovation to television and film archives. Today he continues advising the entertainment industry while focusing on social impact through organizations including The Narrative Method, Volunteer Collective, Cedars Sinai, and other nonprofit initiatives.His career sits at the intersection of creativity, commerce, culture, memory, and preservation.1: Seeing Opportunity Where Others Saw ObsolescenceRichard, one of the themes we explore on this podcast is creative vision—the ability to see possibilities that others overlook.Back in the 1970s, most of the entertainment industry was focused almost exclusively on the next release, the next hit, the next trend.What led you to recognize value in out-of-print recordings and forgotten catalogs when much of the industry considered them yesterday's news? Was there a specific artist, album, or moment that convinced you this could become a business? How much of that insight came from being a fan versus being an entrepreneur?2: The Soul of the Rhino BrandLooking back at Rhino Records and now Shout! Factory:What was your focus?What work were you really doing beyond selling records and media?Who were you serving?What gave you credibility?What industry assumptions were you challenging?And what larger mission connected all of it?3: Reissue Culture Changed EverythingToday we take streaming libraries, catalog recommendations, and rediscovered classics for granted. But Rhino helped create the blueprint.How did the process of licensing, restoring, packaging, and reintroducing older content evolve into what has now become one of the dominant business models in entertainment? What resistance did you encounter from record labels and rights holders in the early days? When did you realize the model was bigger than a niche collector audience?4: What Audiences Teach Us About CreativityOne of the fascinating aspects of your career is that you've spent decades observing how audiences reconnect with older creative work. What patterns have you seen in how people rediscover music, television, and film from previous generations? And what does that tell us about human creativity, nostalgia, storytelling, and cultural memory?5: The Future of Creativity, Archives, and Cultural LegacyToday, entertainment companies increasingly view their catalogs as some of their most valuable assets.Streaming platforms are built on libraries. Vinyl sales continue to grow. Legacy content often outperforms new releases. What does this shift tell us about the future of creativity and content consumption? And what advice would you give today's creators about building work that remains valuable decades from now?If you enjoyed today's conversation, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.

This week's Touch Point is an encore. We are replaying TP470, "When AI Becomes the First Stop for Care." It aired in January, the same week OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health. Chris and Reed sat down with Brandon Scott of TenAdams and made a plain argument. For a growing number of patients, the health journey now starts inside an AI chat, before any health system enters the picture. Five months later the premise is no longer up for debate. By OpenAI's count, more than 230 million people ask health questions on ChatGPT every week, and roughly 40 million do it daily. The patient who shows up already holding an AI explanation of their lab results is now routine. What the original episode left open is the reason to replay it. TP470 asked how health systems would respond. The most visible answer so far is that they bought from the same company. OpenAI for Healthcare rolled out inside AdventHealth, Cedars-Sinai, HCA, Boston Children's, Stanford and other systems within a day of the consumer launch. In April, OpenAI put a free tool directly on clinicians' desks. The vendor that became the patient's first stop is now also the clinician's workspace and the enterprise platform. The front door, the exam room and the back office increasingly run through one synthesis layer. In this encore, Chris and Reed cover: Why AI became the first stop for care before most health systems had a strategy for it What ChatGPT Health actually does, and the line between "support" and "diagnosis" that OpenAI keeps drawing Where AI fills the gaps left by short appointments, fragmented records and limited access Why walled garden thinking is out of step with how patients now manage their health What changes when the tool patients trust and the tool clinicians use come from the same vendor If your digital strategy still treats the website as the first interaction, this episode was early to the problem and the problem only got bigger.

Today's Episode Rick discusses his journey with RA diagnosis and management, highlighting his experience as a patient advocate. Rick explains how he learned to distinguish RA flares from normal aches and pains by noting that RA symptoms persist continuously while normal pain resolves within 3 days. Rick emphasizes the importance of patient advocacy, developing a collaborative relationship with healthcare providers, and being willing to seek second opinions when needed. He also shared practical advice about adapting exercise routines and maintaining an active lifestyle while managing symptoms.

He kept 100% equity through the first three, gave 25% of the last one to his employees, and personally walked away with hundreds of millions across the run. He's now on an indefinite sabbatical, investing through Iconic (the firm that manages Zuckerberg's and Dorsey's money), with half his net worth in S&P 500 and the rest in private equity, direct deals, and alternatives — including multiple Anthropic investments.This episode covers the exact mechanics of each asset-sale exit, why David kept restarting instead of holding, his full portfolio framework (including the 4-year cash buffer strategy), the "the answer is just a little more" moment that hit every entrepreneur in the room, and the story of flying his dying father on a private jet from a New Orleans hospital to Cedars-Sinai at 2am — made possible only by one call to a CEO WhatsApp chain.Timestamps:00:01:39 — David's full intro: four companies, four exits, what actually happened with the money01:55 — First company (Moxie): nearly went bankrupt the first year, how a cash flow crisis taught him "cash was king"03:14 — The asset-sale strategy: selling customers and technicians to Terminix while keeping the sales operation04:57 — "Pretty close" — David confirms Forbes' reported $13M and $30M exit figures05:37 — Why he gave 25% of Aptiv to employees and stepped back as chairman06:23 — Aptiv was doing $508M in revenue; Daniel and David settle on $1.5B as the sale range07:13 — What he actually took home: cap gains, California taxes, "hundreds of millions"08:37 — Net worth today: "do the math backwards and figure it out"09:09 — Portfolio breakdown: 4-year cash buffer in fixed income, S&P 500 with tax-loss harvesting, alternatives11:31 — "I just invested in Anthropic — three different times in the last year and a half" via Iconic14:35 — "The one that was life-changing was the first one" — $13M from nothing hits differently than $1.5B17:46 — Why pest control?

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay reports on the quantified relationship between rheology of a granular biomaterial and tissue self-organization, a study conducted by research groups at the University of California, the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco, Stanford University, and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. The collaborators developed a 3D-bioprinter with a piezoelectric print head to control mechanical forces and a composite extracellular matrix for the biomaterial. One aim of the research was to demonstrate a print medium that could be used to produce a wide variety of biological structures. This work was published in a recent issue of Nature Materials. 

Heart disease is not only a man's disease. It is the number one killer of women, responsible for ten times more deaths than breast cancer. And yet most women have never had a real conversation about their cardiovascular risk, because the medical system was not built to catch it in them.Dr. Martha Gulati is the Director of Preventive Cardiology and Associate Director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai, Director of the Davis Women's Heart Center at Houston Methodist, and author of Saving Women's Hearts. Her own quote has become one of the most cited lines in women's cardiology: "Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but lack of awareness is a close second."This conversation goes into how the female heart develops disease differently, why women's symptoms get dismissed even when they use the words chest pain, and the pregnancy complications, hormonal history, and inflammatory conditions that quietly raise cardiovascular risk for decades before anything shows up on a standard panel.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

Cedars-Sinai has evolved from a community hospital to a major academic health system with an international reputation for quality care, community service, research and education. Much of that evolution and expansion took place under the leadership of Tom Priselac, who served as President and CEO for 30 years, until his retirement in 2024.After joining Cedars-Sinai in 1979, Priselac spent nearly half a century at the organization, rising through a series of leadership roles as the institution expanded its academic mission, built an integrated medical network and adapted to major shifts in healthcare delivery. That long tenure gave him a rare vantage point on how health systems change over time, and what it takes to lead through multiple eras of disruption.In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Priselac reflects on why the leadership job in healthcare feels more challenging now than ever. The pace of change is faster, and today's leaders are navigating a far more complicated environment shaped by financial pressures, regulatory demands, rapid technological advancement and major scientific breakthroughs. But even with all that complexity, Priselac argues that the fundamentals of leadership remain the same. He advocates for creating a culture of excellence, helping people understand why change is necessary, and making sure an organization can absorb change in a thoughtful way. Some of the topics Tom and Keith discussed include:Culture at the heart of healthcare. Priselac returns repeatedly to the importance of values, emotional intelligence and culture in healthcare leadership. In his view, an organization's culture reflects the decisions, behaviors and priorities of its leaders, and that matters even more in complex environments like academic medical centers. Whether the challenge is aligning faculty, community physicians, researchers or administrators, success depends on keeping patient care at the center and building a shared sense of mission.Pushing change too fast. One of Priselac's clearest leadership lessons is that organizations and people can absorb only so much change at once. While today's leaders face real pressure to move more quickly, he warns that some of the biggest mistakes happen when executives short-circuit the change management process. Looking back on his own career, he says some of his most important learning came from moments when he pushed for too much change too quickly.Why cost and access still keep him up at night. Even with all the promise of genomics, proteomics, cell and gene therapy, and AI, Priselac remains deeply concerned that healthcare's affordability and access problems are worsening faster than policymakers are addressing them. He points to clear signs of strain already in the system – communities losing access to care, hospitals in urban areas operating beyond capacity, and patients spending hours waiting for admission. For all the excitement around innovation, he sees cost and access as the country's most urgent unresolved healthcare challenges.To hear Keith and Tom discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences.In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Karen L. Reckamp, MD, director of Medical Oncology, associate director of Clinical Research, and the medical oncology director of the Lung Institute at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, California.Drs Camidge and Reckamp discussed Dr Reckamp's journey as an oncology specialist and now a caregiver for her husband, who has cancer. Reckamp's career was inspired by her family's history with BRCA-related cancers. She pursued an academic path that eventually led her to Los Angeles, where she became a leader in thoracic oncology during an era of genomic breakthroughs.In late 2024, her husband, a fellow oncologist, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after a clear annual scan. Reckamp described the jarring transition of receiving the diagnosis and the ensuing emotions balanced with medical pragmatism. Bob underwent intensive treatments that have affected his physical health and daily life.Reckamp offered a candid look at the dual role of a physician-caregiver. She continues to work, however, her husband's cancer diagnosis has changed her practice. Now, she is more sensitive to chemotherapy toxicities in her patients that she might have previously minimized. She also highlighted the invisible load of caregivers who must manage their own emotions and remain available for patient needs.Ultimately, Reckamp emphasized the necessity of a support network, crediting their long-time nanny and overall community with maintaining her family's stability. By allowing different people to hold different pieces of the emotional burden, Reckamp shared that her family is finding a way to move forward amidst the uncertainty of this cancer diagnosis.

Jester Lloyd Bautista, MSN, PhD, RN, grew up in the Philippines as the eldest of seven siblings in an impoverished family and dreamed of becoming a pilot. Instead, the people who funded his education chose nursing. He was 20 when he graduated, and 22 when he found himself standing in front of rooms full of nursing graduates preparing for their licensure exams. That experience unlocked something: the understanding that teaching one nurse to think critically could ripple out to every patient they would ever touch. He earned his MSN and then his PhD in Educational Leadership and Management, all while teaching nursing in the Philippines. Then in 2015, he immigrated to the United States, and he had to start over.  He began again in the US as a caregiver. Then became a dialysis nurse. Then an ICU nurse for five years. When the opportunity to return to education appeared, he took it. Today at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, Jester leads ASPIRE, the Affiliate Students Pathway from Internship to Residency Experience, a program that walks senior nursing students into their first RN role. He describes it plainly: he is building the bridge he wished had existed when he graduated. All seven of his siblings are now nurses. And the young man who once wanted to fly a plane has decided he did become a pilot after all, just one who navigates families, students, and a profession toward somewhere better. He sees himself as an example of what is possible and shares that if people understood the impact nurses have, the world would be a better place.    For more information on the podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/education.

Send us Fan MailDr. Kyle Willsey, pediatric critical care transport director at Cedars-Sinai, joins Daphna to discuss one of the least standardized corners of pediatric and neonatal medicine — critical care transport. With children's hospitals closing across the country and tertiary centers absorbing more of the patient load, the demand for safe, well-trained transport teams is growing at the same time that national standards remain nearly nonexistent. He shares the challenges of building a transport program from the ground up, presents early pilot data using the NASA Task Load Index to measure the subjective cognitive burden on transport nurses and respiratory therapists, and makes an open call for collaboration with anyone else navigating the same uncharted territory — because the transport leg of a critically ill child's journey should never be an afterthought.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

(Episode 334) Your healing is not happening on the cushion. It's happening in the conversation that triggers you, the phone call that crosses a boundary, the grocery store aisle that floods you with a memory you thought you'd moved past. Sah D'Simone is here to show us what it looks like to bring the work all the way home.Sah D'Simone is a globally recognized spiritual teacher, somatic movement leader, author, and humanitarian whose work weaves Buddhist contemplative practice, trauma-informed movement, and embodied liberation into something I have never quite seen before. In this episode, Sah takes us from the fashion industry to the foothills of the Himalayas, from sitting with the Dalai Lama to sitting with the dying at Cedars-Sinai, and into the heart of why understanding your healing and actually embodying it are two completely different things. We talk about why protecting your peace is a phase and not a destination, what it means to feel a feeling all the way through instead of narrating it, and how 55 minutes of somatic dance can strip the emotional charge from the memories that have been running your life. This one moved me to tears, and I think it will do the same for you.In this episode, we're talking about: (00:00) Discovering Buddhism And The Path To Liberation(16:30) Why Creativity Is Essential For Healing And Self-Expression(24:30) The Difference Between Intellectual Healing And Embodied Healing(28:00) Why Healing Must Be Relational, Not Just Internal Work(36:00) Somatic Healing And How The Body Processes Emotional Trauma(41:40) Trance Dance, Ego Dissolution, And Reconnecting With Your True Self(45:30) How To Release Emotional Charge From Painful MemoriesUse the code SDS50 to get 50% off! https://practice.sahdsimone.com/membershipStay in touch with Sah D'Simone https://practice.sahdsimone.com/https://www.instagram.com/sahdsimoneTake my FREE quiz!What's your intuitive style?

With postdoctoral fellowships at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai, she specializes in the science of hope, resiliency, and visual imagery.We talk about:The 7/10 rule for affirmations - why the traditional approach to affirmations is broken, and a different way that ensures your brain actually believes what you're telling it instead of rejecting it as bunk.How to schedule "worry time" to contain anxiety so it doesn't leak into and paralyze your entire day.A specific 12-second practice to "clock" joy and physically rewire your brain's neural pathways for better problem-solving.The distinction between hope and false hope, and how to find the "crack of light" when you're in your darkest hour.If you've ever felt the pressure to "just be happy" while struggling through a difficult season, this conversation offers a grounded, science-backed alternative.

Free DNA Activation Masterclass + 21-Day Abundance Meditation: https://masterclass.samuelbleemd.com/dnaPeptides I use personally to regenerate, heal, and stay sharp: https://limitlesslivingIn this episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD sits down for a raw and unfiltered solo conversation about the hidden realities of modern psychiatry, the illusion of “chemical imbalance,” and the forgotten truth of the superconscious soul. From working inside elite institutions like Cedars-Sinai and the University of Washington Medical Center to witnessing firsthand the numbing of children and elders in psychiatric facilities, his story is a testament to courage, awakening, and spiritual integrity.Dr. Lee shares how going through his own diagnoses—major depression, anxiety, paranoia, addiction, even a manic episode that led him to call off his wedding became the very initiation that opened his awareness beyond the DSM-5 and into the spiritual dimensions of healing. This episode dives deep into the limitations of symptom-based psychiatry, the concept of the superconscious mind, and why true healing requires reconnecting to the soul not suppressing it.Sacred Truths & Lessons from This Episode:• You Are Not Your Diagnosis• The “Chemical Imbalance” Theory Was Never Proven• Numbing Symptoms Is Not the Same as Healing the Soul• Society May Be Sick Not the Child• Your Superconscious Mind Holds the Key to Transformation• Healing Begins When You Reclaim Your Spiritual SovereigntyDr. Lee vulnerably explores what happens when elders are medicated into numbness at the end of life, when children are labeled instead of understood, and when psychiatrists are pressured to prescribe instead of connect. He reveals why he walked away from a lucrative partnership at one of Los Angeles' largest psychiatric hospital firms and chose instead to speak from his soul.This is not just a critique of a system. It's a call to remember what psychiatry originally meant: healing the psyche the soul.

In this episode, Heitham Hassoun, MD, Chief Executive for International at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, shares how the organization is building a global care network that blends medical travel, local clinics, and long term partnerships. He discusses continuity of care, international strategy, workforce challenges, and what it takes to deliver Cedars-Sinai quality across diverse global markets.

This one stretches the mind in the best way. What if gravity is the most overlooked force in modern medicine? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Professor of Medicine and Public Health, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and Director of the Cedars-Sinai Center for Virtual Medicine and Health System Transformation. We explore bio-gravitational medicine, a groundbreaking framework connecting physics, perception, virtual reality, and human physiology. Watch the video version here. We discuss: How humans evolved to regulate against and stand up to gravity The Reality Paradox and simulation theory in healthcare Why artificial environments may disrupt mind-body balance How virtual reality (VR) can literally "lift" your state of being Why virtual experiences can create real biological change How VR may restore biophilia and reconnect us with our biological origins Why even our perception of gravity influences HRV, cortisol, and mental health What healthcare leaders must consider when designing digital health platforms As digital health accelerates, this conversation challenges us to rethink how technology interacts with human biology. Can simulation realign us with our evolutionary roots? If you're a healthcare executive, clinician, or digital health innovator, this episode will expand how you think about mind-body medicine and the future of healing.

In one of the most thought-provoking health conversations on the show, Lo sits down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel — physician, professor, researcher, and director at Cedars-Sinai — to explore a powerful idea: many of the symptoms people live with every day may not be random at all.Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Digestive issues. Feeling older than your age. These experiences have become so common that they're often dismissed as stress or “just life.” But this conversation reveals how the body may be responding to deeper forces — including gravity, posture, modern movement patterns, and the intricate relationship between the gut and the brain.Dr. Spiegel explains how physical alignment, core stability, nervous system recovery, and even bathroom posture influence digestion and overall well-being. The discussion also dives into the gut microbiome and why the digestive system plays a central role in mood, energy, and serotonin production — far beyond what most people realize.Blending research, physiology, and practical insights, this episode offers a new lens for understanding why so many people feel “off” — and how small shifts in daily habits may support the body in ways that are both simple and profound.For anyone who has wondered why their energy is low, their digestion feels unpredictable, or their body doesn't feel quite right, this conversation delivers answers, perspective, and a path forwardSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever notice how weekdays feel different from one another? Mondays carry a heavy vibe, while Fridays seem lighter and more exciting.

In this lively conversation, he reveals why picking the right stocks can be a smarter path to wealth — and why conventional advice might be holding you back.
