Send us a textIn this episode of the Gut Feelings podcast, Ashley and Danielle talk with Dr. Bincy Abraham, an expert in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dr Abraham shares her experience and insight into the complexities of managing IBD. Bincy P. Abraham is the Distinguished Professor and Director of the Fondren Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at the Underwood Digestive Diseases Center of Houston Methodist Hospital. She is also the Program Director for the Gastroenterology Fellowship at Houston Methodist Hospital. She earned her medical degree from University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, where she continued with residency training in internal medicine and fellowship in gastroenterology. During fellowship, she received specialized training in inflammatory bowel disease and earned her degree in Masters of Clinical Investigation. She also completed a National Visiting Fellow Inflammatory Bowel Disease Rotation program through the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation in Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. She has chaired the Southern Regional chapter of the CCFA Medical Advisory Committee, served as president of the Texas Gulf Coast Gastroenterology Society, is involved in national committees for and is a Fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterology Association, American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

We live in an increasingly self-focused society, which only exacerbates the loneliness that plagues modern life. According to my guest Sah D'Simone, we are not meant to be alone; it is side by side with others where true wisdom flourishes.  He's here to tell us why connection is a fundamental piece of a deep spiritual practice, and how to connect with others authentically.

Sah uses his method to support Cedars Sinai Hospital as a member of their Spiritual Care Chaplain intern team. In this interview, Sah draws on his insights and tools to introduce a new way to transform the way we relate to others by releasing an “us vs. them” mindset, cultivating radical compassion, and creatively transforming our struggles into opportunities for awakening. In this way, we can deepen our friendships, build community, and heal the world.

Margot Robbie is pregnant. Will she invest in getting informed? Will she hired a doula? Will she invest in a physiologic birth at home? Celebrities have all the resources available to them, and very often they are opting for the most detached version of birth, elective cesarean or even worse, surrogacy. Join me in this rabbit hole of celebrity hospital births. In this episode I discuss: How Queen Elizabeth had her power taken away during her first three births and how she demanded different for her fourth. The hospital is the hospital and it can and will take control if you let it, regardless of how rich, famous, and powerful a woman is outside of the hospital. The average rate of cesarean in the United States in 2022 is 32.1% and the World Health Organization's statement that cesarean rates over 20% lead to worse outcomes for moms and babies. Los Angeles hospital, Cedars-Sinai Hospital, does not disclose their rate of cesarean and that is likely due to a higher than average rate. What it costs for a bougie maternity suite at Cedars-Sinai, Lenox Hill, and Mount Sinai. And did Beyonce really rent out the maternity ward for $1.3 million??

In this episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I am joined by Charles Johnson, the founder of 4Kira4Moms.  Charles tragically lost his wife Kira during a routine C-section at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California in 2016. This experience led him to create 4Kira4moms in 2017. The goal of 4Kira4Moms is to be a voice for other mothers and families facing unnecessary maternal loss and to help put an end to the black maternal mortality health crisis. It is a sad reality that in the US, black women are four times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than white women. This is due to implicit bias and systemic racism within the healthcare system, as well as a lack of access to high-quality maternal healthcare and resources. Inside the episode, Charles and I discuss this tragic epidemic and talk about what platforms like 4Kira4Moms are doing to spark change and shed light on the issue. Then we get into what we can do to support his mission! Tune in to hear Kira's story and learn how you can help make a difference. Learn more about Charles Johnson Charles Johnson has dedicated his life to the pursuit of what his own family failed to receive – safe, respectful, and equitable maternal health outcomes in America. His passion for systemic change is driven by his love for his wife, Kira, who passed away following the birth of their second child. In April 2016, Kira underwent a routine C-section following an uncomplicated pregnancy. Hours later, she died from internal hemorrhaging despite adamant pleas for help from medical professionals by her husband and loved ones. Her story exemplifies the current crises happening in America: rising rates of maternal mortality and the silencing of Black voices. After experiencing the unimaginable, Charles harnessed his pain and used it to pursue the highest level of good. He channeled his grief into founding 4Kira4Moms, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving birth outcomes in America. Charles knows childbirth should be empowering and free of fear for all mothers. 4Kira4Moms advocates for improved maternal health policies and regulations, educates about the impact of maternal mortality in our communities, provides support to victims' loved ones, and approaches maternal mortality as a human rights issue. Mothers are the very framework of our society. They teach us how to love unconditionally and are willing to protect the most vulnerable among us. The loss of even one at the hands of an unjust system robs our country of what it needs most. Charles has used his voice and story to advocate for change at countless events and media appearances all over the country. He is a board member of March for Moms and serves as Chairman of the Fairness of Injured Patients Act, which seeks to restore the rights of victims of medical negligence in California. Charles has testified twice before Congress and helped pass key legislation including: the Preventing Maternal Death Act of 2018, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act of 2021, and the California Momnibus. He is currently working with Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, an unprecedented set of bills addressing every aspect of the maternal health crisis happening in America. Charles was also honored by Oprah Winfrey on OWNSpotlight's 2020 fatherhood special entitled, “Honoring our Kings – Celebrating Black Fatherhood.” In addition to his advocacy work, Charles is busy raising his two beautiful boys, Charles V and Langston, who keep their mothers' spirit alive powerfully every day.

I have the honour of speaking with Colleen Murphy about the journey following a severe accident that turned this family's life upside down.  On the morning of April 19, 2013, while out for a typical morning run, Cooleen's daughter Lauren was hit by a car and suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury.  Lauren was admitted to Cedars- Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood and remained in extremely critical condition for several weeks. Lauren had lived in New York at the time of the accident and was in LA on business. She did not have identification on her and remained a Jane Doe for several hours. Her prognosis was not good. Upon arriving in LA, her parents were told that she had a very slim chance of surviving. Once she got past the extremely critical stage it had been explained that her brain damage was so severe that she would most likely not be able to feed herself, walk, talk or understand spoken words. Thankfully, Lauren has never been typical and she has spent the last 5 years proving all of the experts wrong.  Her recovery has been far from easy, she has travelled all over the United States working with experts trying to get better.  She works extremely hard and continues to struggle each and every day to regain as much of her former life as possible.  Lauren has become the embodiment of the Murphy family saying, “Murphys Don't Quit” and this has become her calling card.

Colleen Murphy shares her journey with her daughter and how you should never give up!    On the morning of April 19, 2013, while out for a typical morning run, Lauren was hit by a car and suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury.  Lauren was admitted to Cedars- Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood and remained in extremely critical condition for several weeks. Lauren had lived in New York at the time of the accident and was in LA on business. She did not have identification on her and remained a Jane Doe for several hours. Her prognosis was not good. Upon arriving in LA, her parents were told that she had a very slim chance of surviving. Once she got past the extremely critical stage it had been explained that her brain damage was so severe that she would most likely not be able to feed herself, walk, talk or understand spoken words. Thankfully, Lauren has never been typical and she has spent the last 5 years proving all of the experts wrong.  Her recovery has been far from easy, she has traveled all over the United States working with experts trying to get better.  She works extremely hard and continues to struggle each and every day to regain as much of her former life as possible.  Lauren has become the embodiment of the Murphy family saying, “Murphys Don't Quit” and this has become her calling card. Today she lives with her parents in O'Fallon MO and continues to focus on her recovery.  She maintains a very busy schedule of speech therapy, physical therapy and the all too often retail therapy trips with her Mother.  Lauren enjoys getting out in the community, meeting new people and sharing her story. She remains at a high risk for seizure activity due to the extent of her brain damage. One of her seizure triggers is running, an average person may decide to give up running due to the risk, not Lauren, she refuses to give up!  To date, against all odds, she has completed over (20) 5k runs with her Dad and continues to inspire all who come across her path.   https://murphysdontquit.com/   Sprinkled with Hope  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKvKY93BmNp9D-uuStspcEQ/featured https://www.facebook.com/groups/727711128046733 https://www.facebook.com/sprinkledwithhopepodcast https://twitter.com/sprinkledhope20 instagram = sprinkledhope1

Later, a vocal cord implant was inserted to help him speak. All the above, the result of a bad thyroid surgery that dampened his quality of life — and left him wondering, what exactly happened — during what should be a low-risk surgery? His attempts to follow up with UCLA and the UCLA surgeon were ignored.

He explains how the technology helps patients overcome phobias. Also in this episode, Tom Norris, a medically retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force, explains his decades-long struggles with chronic pain and how VR has enabled him to better manage it.

He was on humira and he keeps having allergic reactions to that family of drugs. Any biohacks you guys know of that specifically help? I know stress triggers it... I was thinking of getting him a Biomat mini or belt... what else? Giving a blanket answer to this question is tough because it ignores everyone's bio-individuality. That said, a good guideline to follow would be, as a first step: give the problem some crutches to lean on. This means giving the inflammatory response a break for a moment so that your gut can soothe itself — at least for long enough to absorb the nutrients you're going to need to begin healing. Eliminating the most obvious food sensitivities like nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, processed foods, nightshades, etc. Once that's dialed in, go a level up and consider removing high-histamine foods that could be perpetuating the inflammatory cycle. And then, once a little more stable, support detoxification by getting in a light daily sweat, and eating steamed foods that assist the liver, like dandelion, artichoke, beets, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and gluten-free oats. And all the while, prioritize meditation, sunlight, and lymphatic drainage. A light rebounding session on a Bellicon, or even just doing some jumping jacks on some carpeting can be a big help. To dive deep into all matters colitis, and IBD, someone who'd been a well-kept secret here in LA for several years, but is now out of LA, and entering the online world in a bigger way, is a personal friend of mine, Jordan Kravitz. Jordan was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2015, and after getting handed the pamphlets about all the drugs he'd need from the head of the IBD clinic here at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Jordan laughed at him and told him to keep his drugs. He then went on an absolutely crazy journey to reverse Crohn's Disease, and today enjoys excellent digestive health, thanks to his unique approach to healing inflammatory gut issues of all kinds.  If you'd like to connect with him to learn more, or for one on one coaching, you can check out his website at jordankravitz.com, and use the contact page to get in touch.

It's been three summers in a row that I have the same melasma “map” on my forehead and side of my face. I only use sunscreen if I stay in the sun longer than an hour. I wear hats but still, it has started to appear on the same spot. any advice? I haven’t had the sun cause wrinkles I use lots of essential oils on my face: Osea, Alitura Naturals, and Living Libations Do red light therapy Study the work of Dr. Ray eat: raypeat.com Avoid seed oils/omega 3’s  Liver spots get their brown colour from lipofuscin, a waste material that builds up in our cells as we age.  Lipofuscin has three constituents: Oestrogen + Iron + PUFAs = LipofuscinIn  In other words, the polyunsaturated fats (canola oil, soy oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, fish oil, flax oil etc) we consume in our food (and rub into our skin in the form of moisturisers), the iron we eat from red meat and green vegetables, and the oestrogen our bodies produce naturally combine to form this brown, fatty waste product that clogs up our cells and, as we age, forms liver spots. Where does sunlight fit into this picture? Dr Peat explains that when we’re exposed to UV light, it can cause damage to unsaturated fatty acid molecules in our skin, producing free radicals.  Manage your iron intake. This is one of the most important pieces of the age spots puzzle.  One way of managing your iron levels is to give blood regularly; there’s evidence that this can even reduce your risk of heart attack and strokes. Donating blood can be especially helpful for men and post-menopausal women, because they do not lose any blood through menstruation.  Reduce your intake of PUFAs Increase your intake of vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant) Pay attention to your estrogen levels, for men and women Listen to what Nadine Artemis has to say about the sun Vitamin D app: dminder.ontometrics.com Get Surthrival’s D3+K2 Daylight Concentrate (use code “lifestylist” for 10% off) Quicksilver Scientific also has a great D3+K2 combo Episode 6: The Great Sunshine Swindle with Nadine Artemis   01:55:10 — Mazena asks: Male pattern baldness.

Anybody have any tips? I know it could be a lot of things but I'm open to suggestions so I can pinpoint what's going on. I’ve heard this probably 100 times over the years Like most experimental, and extreme diets, they often work for a period of time, then the body falls out of balance.  There has never, ever been a 100% vegan human civilization in recorded history, which is why i call it experimental We don't yet know if it's safe. it would take 2-3 generations of 100% vegan people to breed 100% vegan kids, who then breed with 100% vegan people a few times over to see if its viable In my experience, being vegetarian or vegan is a form of fasting, or cleansing which can be amazing in the short term I prefer a balanced diet and to listen to my body and what it wants, since it is its own living organism, with its own innate intelligence  If you do decide to phase out of this diet, try starting with bone broth (no additional animals die to make bone broth) or pastured eggs or wild caught, sustainably sourced fish. or even just oysters.  To me, any diet that is deficient in critical nutrients and thus requires that you take supplements to fill the gap, is likely not a natural human diet because that would ot require supplements like b vitamins, vitamin a etc. Study the work of Dr. Weston Price for more info on the natural human diet and nutrient deficiencies  Check out next tuesday’s episode: Why You Can't Beat Meat: The Ultimate Carnivore Diet Guide W/ Dr. Paul Saladino Episode 245: Wild Fed: How To Become A Modern Day Hunter-Gatherer w/ Daniel Vitalis *Vegan Trigger Warning Episode 94: Why I'm Not a Vegan - Daniel Vitalis All that said, to me, what trumps diet is avoiding non-native EMF and blue light. circadian biology wins over nutrient biology in my book.  get into sync with nature, as nature is where creation’s wisdom lies   02:10:00 — Richard asks: Anyone have personal experience with improving eyesight naturally???

What are the different possible triggers for how people get Parkinson’s? Find out in this episode as I try to narrow down how the degenerative brain disorder was unleashed on me. After Niki and I chat about the “how,” my wife ,Rebecca and I begin to explore the “why?” If you have Parkinson’s, you may want to play along at home while you listen. Here’s a handy check list to see what factors potentially triggered your onset of PD. Check ALL that apply: I am male. I am older than 60 years old. I have parents or siblings who have Parkinson’s disease. Genetic tests show I carry a gene that is associated with the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Genetic tests show I carry a gene that is associated with brain degeneration. I play or played a high contact sport (Football, Hockey, Rugby, Boxing, Martial Arts) I have played or played high contact sports for more than eight years. I have experienced several concussions. I live or have lived near a major, busy road. I have worked or lived near a chemical plant. I have suffered Agent Orange exposure. I have been exposed, over a long period time or at extremely high levels to pesticides. I have been described as a workaholic, a Type-A personality, or stressed-out. I do not exercise. I have had a stroke. I have injected the MPTP strain of synthetic Heroin and suffered spontaneous Parkinson’s. I was born with damaged dopamine-producing brain cells. I died. During my autopsy, Alpha-Synuclein was discovered clumping in my brain (Lewy Bodies). I did not realize how much I was asking myself, “What did I do to get Parkinson’s?” until I started putting together this episode. The recent study by Cedars-Sinai Hospital in California that we discuss at the end of the episode was a real revelation for me. It suggests that people with Young Onset Parkinson’s may be born with malfunctioning dopamine producing brain cells, which leads to the clumping of the protein Alpha-Synulcein (Lewy bodies) and ultimately leads to the onset of Parkinson’s disease. In the episode, we hear from many qualified professionals about different reasons how Parkinson’s onsets. Sohini Dhowdhury, Deputy CEO of The Michael J. Fox Foundation, discusses why she is so interested in Alpha Synuclein research. “We know it’s the hallmark of Parkinson’s. Research and therapies targeting this protein gets to the root biological process,” Chowdhury said.   At UCLA, Dr. Jeff Bronstein, the head of the movement disorder clinic there and Dr Beata Ritz, professor of epidemiology at Fielding School of Public Health, collaborate on environmental factors that could trigger the onset of PD, like pesticides, both for the home and industrial use. Dr. Ritz has little doubt when she speaks on this topic, “Some pesticides are neurotoxic in a way that causes Parkinson’s disease when you are exposed over a very long time or very high levels.” In the episode, we examine the herbicide Paraquat, which is banned in many countries around the world, yet remains one of the most widely used chemicals to protect crops. There are many ways people can trigger Parkinson’s and many reasons why someone is diagnosed with it. Dr. Bronstein believes every case is unique, “I think of it as a humungous Venn diagram in which there and many, many different factors.” In the end, how I got Parkinson’s may not matter to anyone else, but me. But, for me, I’d be more comfortable knowing it was hibernating within me until I was ready for it, instead of me doing something to unnaturally cause it. In reality, I’ll likely never know what combination of things unlocked this disease. On the flip side, it’s brought me as much joy, friendship, perspective, and purpose in life  – and maybe more – than any one thing in my life.

On the morning of April 26th, 1989, Lucille Ball died at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. America’s first lady of comedy had delighted audiences with a glittering career that spanned over half a century: but it was her television show, ‘I Love Lucy,’ that had transformed television and turned the actress into the most famous face on the planet. The 77 year old would die of a rupture of the aorta - a life-ending tear of the largest artery in the human body. This is rare, and even more since she was in great shape just weeks before her death. So what was going on inside Lucille Ball’s body that led to this catastrophic event? Could a mysterious teenage illness have played a part? World renowned forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Hunter investigates Lucille’s life in forensic detail to piece together what really happened to Lucille Ball. New Autopsy podcasts drop each Wednesday. Next week, Dr. Hunter examines the death of “The Man in Black,” Johnny Cash. Like what you hear and want more true crime and mystery?

In 1950, medical information doubled every 50 years.  It’s been estimated that, in 2020, it will take only 73 days for medical knowledge to double!  This is not surprising given that a new biomedical journal article is published every 26 seconds!  It is clear that we will need tools to manage and synthesize all of this data, and that’s where the clinical decision support (CDS) comes in.  Our guest today is Dr. Scott Weingarten.  Dr. Weingarten recently joined Premier Inc., retaining his role as CEO of Stanson Health - a clinical decision support company he founded approximately 6 years ago.  Prior to joining Premier Inc., Scott was the Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.  In addition to his long-standing tenure as a practicing physician and executive, Scott is also a serial entrepreneur and inventor - holding three software patents.  Prior to forming Stanson Health, Scott co-founded Zynx Health, a highly successful leader in ‘order sets’ and ‘care plans’ for electronic health records.In this interview Scott will share:The demonstrable positive impact of CDS on organizational quality and cost - resulting from marked improvements in appropriate utilization of lab tests, imaging studies and medication prescribing.The sophistication of today’s CDS technology that results in the provision of real-time, patient-specific, evidence-based recommendations.The vast breadth of clinical situations and conditions for which Stanson Health has created evidence-based clinical decision supports.The specific benefits for practicing clinicians: offering providers performance data on how they compare to their colleagues and to evidence-based standards.The highly sophisticated analytic approach Stanson Health takes to streamline and optimize clinical alerts embedded in the electronic medical record - removing a substantial percentage of “low value alerts” - what Scott calls “pruning the tree”.I went into this interview understanding CDS as a tool to enhance clinical practice - improving providers’ and organizations’ ability to meet quality goals, as well as optimize utilization of tests and treatments.  I came out of this interview believing that CDS is not only a basic necessity if we are going to practice safe, high quality medicine; but, that it's also one of the most profound technologies shaping medical practice - fundamentally changing the way providers & patients will experience clinical encounters in the future.  Imagine when a care provider will be able to dialogue with a patient, supported by natural language processing software and sentiment analysis, feeding the artificial intelligence that will be making real-time, evidence-based, customized recommendations for that individual patient.  This reality does not seem that far off, and I suspect Scott and Stanson Health are moving rapidly toward that day.  Imagine how liberating and humanizing that would be - allowing providers and patients to really communicate and engage with one another, with technology aiding that human-to-human interaction rather than interfering with it.  The take-home point is that Clinical Decision Support is not just about meeting quality metrics or reducing inappropriate testing and prescribing.  CDS is not just about assisting providers in consistently delivering up-to-date, evidence-based medical care.  CDS is not just about reducing unnecessary costs of care.  The purpose of CDS, as I understand it now, is to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, effective, personalized and relationship-oriented.  The highly informed perspective, and the picture that Dr. Scott Weingarten paints for the future of healthcare is, indeed, a bright one.  His is a hopeful and realistic message, and one that is well worth listening to.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live to be 100? How about 150? Life-extending technology may not be accessible today, but is it possible that something as simple as exercise could reverse the aging process right now? In this episode, we explore the aging process on a personal and scientific level. Host Sara Ivry talks to Katherine Beiers who, at age 86, regularly runs road races and recently finished her fourteenth marathon. Dr. Roberta Gottlieb, head of the Gottlieb Laboratory at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles also joins the conversation. She is investigating the relationship between our cells and longevity, with a focus on the phenomenon of “autophagy” (cells reviving themselves).

In this episode of Life Effects, we focus on the science of longevity. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live to be 100? How about 150? Life-extending technology may not be accessible today, but is it possible that something as simple as exercise could reverse the aging process right now? In this episode, we explore the aging process on a personal and scientific level. Host Sara Ivry talks to Katherine Byers who, at age 86, regularly runs road races and recently finished her fourteenth marathon. Dr. Roberta Gottlieb, head of the Gottlieb Laboratory at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles also joins the conversation. She is investigating the relationship between our cells and longevity, with a focus on the phenomenon of “autophagy” (cells reviving themselves).

What Up, Get Up Nation? My name is Ben Biddick, the Host of the Get Up Nation Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Alison Crowley and Cyndi Tomlinson who have joined forces to create a non-profit organization that supports and empowers people through their cancer experience called Bolster & Bridge: The Foundation. Alison is a yoga therapist specializing in cancer since 2007. She was inspired to become a yoga therapist after witnessing her mother’s experience dealing with multiple chronic illnesses. She and her sisters spent more than 25 years navigating the medical world on behalf of their mother. During these experiences, Alison recognized a need to serve the whole person through challenging medical circumstances. Cyndi is a business executive and cancer survivor. Cyndi experienced her first bout with cancer at the age of 22. She faced a diagnosis of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma while a single mother with a 2 year old daughter. Cyndi underwent treatment while working to support her daughter with the love and help of her family. Twenty years later, Cyndi was diagnosed with breast cancer. This time, she knew she needed additional support to care for herself and her family as she worked full time and raised her second daughter, age 13 at the time. After attending a six-week program with Alison at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, Cyndi responded to the mind-body work with such enthusiasm that she couldn’t wait to come home after each class to share the practices with her daughters. I am honored to release this Get Up Nation Podcast episode during Breast Cancer Awareness month and am honored to share the journey of these amazing women who are doing so much to serve others who face adversity in their lives. They are committed to transforming their experiences of adversity, resilience, and perseverance into gifts for others who need that support, encouragement, and empowerment.

Dr. Jason Fung grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada..... I went to the University of Toronto at age 17 to begin studies in Biochemistry. By 23, I completed medical school at the U of T, and began my Internal Medicine residency there. Finishing my specialty of Internal Medicine, I chose Nephrology (kidney disease) as my sub-specialty. Each field of internal medicine draws its own personalities. Nephrologists had the reputation of being a ‘thinkers’ specialty. There are a lot of intricacies of fluid and electrolytes, and I enjoyed these puzzles. I studied Nephrology at the University of California, Los Angeles mostly at Cedars-Sinai Hospital and the VA Wadsworth. Looking back, I realize that it must have been a little disconcerting to patients in the hospital to be treated by a doctor who looked about 18 years old. I returned to Toronto in 2001 to start my career in Nephrology, where I still have both an office and hospital practice. Type 2 diabetes is by far and away the leading cause of kidney disease, and I treat many hundreds of patients with this disease. Many also have obesity. By the early 2010s my interest in nutrition, combined with my professional focus on obesity and T2D had led me directly to the diabesity puzzle. More details HERE. Show Notes:  what is type 2 diabetes what is type 1 diabetes and where is it found The Myth that type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease this is a dietary disease treat obesity first what is kidney disease and how can it be treated or prevented The Obesity Code Weight loss is hormonally driven Women's health initiative study obesity is caused by too much insulin try low carbs high fats diet eliminate breads and pastas [Tweet "Type 2 Diabetes being a Chronic and Progressive disease is a Myth @drjasonfung"] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFJ5Sv5ifes [Tweet "Obesity is caused by too much insulin, therefore we need to stop prescribing insulin as a treatment @drjasonfung"] Follow Dr. Jason Fung on Twitter!

Healer's Hands, Healer's Heart with Dr. Gloria Kaye Dr. Gloria, who often works on clients at the recommendation of medical doctors, has become sought after nationwide for her logic-defying healings. A quiet woman with a big heart, she very gently touches various areas of the body and many problems resolve if not in minutes, over the course of a few treatments. Based on her 40 years of experiences, she surmises that the cells are dispersing, reorganizing or regenerating as a result of the energy infused into the body at key points that impact tissue, bone and muscle. In Healer's Hands, Healer's Heart,  Dr. Gloria comes forth as a staunch advocate for non-traditional healing. Her path there began as a teen when she realized she inherited her astonishing abilities from her Great Aunt, and then elected to pursue emotional healing and pain management as a profession. She secured PH.D's in clinical psychology and health psychology; pioneered groundbreaking research into yoga therapy on substance abuse; taught UCLA Medical Students, hosted a TV show on yoga as an antidote to emotional distress; operated a highly regarded holistic living center for senior citizens, and has assembled a considerable track record for supporting the fast recovery and increased comfort of cancer patients at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.  For more information visit: http://drgloriakaye.com/
