Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo made a surprise announcement that MAHA has been waiting for: ALL vaccine mandates are ending in the state. “Is it appropriate for a government or any other entity to dictate to you what you should put in your body?” says Dr. Ladapo. “No, it's absolutely not appropriate. You have sovereignty over your body…” Ladapo assured CNN the vaccines will still be available to anyone who wants them – just not mandated. Donald Trump, however, does not fully agree with the change. The President, who recently dined with tech moguls including Bill Gates, said: “You have vaccines that work. They pure and simple work. They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used; otherwise, some people are going to catch it and they are going to endanger other people.” Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist, internist, and epidemiologist, serving as Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company.

The new season of Business Class News's Race to the Start Line podcast launched with a conversation that was both deeply personal and profoundly forward-looking. Host Karl Woolfenden sat down with two leaders from Caris Life Sciences—Dr. David Spetzler, President and Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. James Hamrick, Chairman of the Caris Precision Oncology Alliance —for a discussion on how Caris is transforming the future of cancer care. Woolfenden framed the conversation with personal reflections, sharing how recent losses in his own circle to cancer heightened his awareness of the need for innovation in oncology. “It tightened my awareness,” he said, “of how important it is to spotlight the companies and individuals driving meaningful progress.” Tackling the Complexity of Cancer Caris Life Sciences is a leader in molecular profiling and precision medicine, advancing how oncologists understand and treat cancer. Dr. Spetzler emphasized just how complicated this mission is: “Yeah, so I think what the patents demonstrate is that we're really on the cutting edge of trying to understand cancer. And the complexity of cancer is really quite staggering, because there are no two diseases that are the same.” He explained that Caris has built one of the world's largest datasets in cancer biology. “One of the things that we've been able to do is amass an enormous data set. We're approaching having profiled a million patients, and one of the great advantages that gives us is we can start to understand—from previous patients—new patients' status, and direct them towards the better drugs that are going to help them live longer.” From Science to the Patient Bedside Where Spetzler focused on the science, Dr. James Hamrick provided a clinical lens on the company's work. He reflected on his journey as both a practicing oncologist and now a leader at Caris. “The founder of Caris, and Dr. Spetzler who has been there since 2009, was always that connection point between the science and the patient. And that's where I focus—making sure what we're doing actually makes a difference in the clinic.” Hamrick highlighted the importance of ensuring that breakthroughs aren't confined to research institutions but are accessible to patients everywhere: “Too often, patients in community hospitals don't benefit from the latest advancements available at large academic medical centers. At Caris, we're working to close that gap.” Humanizing the Science The conversation underscored the human stakes of the work. Both leaders emphasized that the mission isn't just about data or discovery—it's about outcomes. Dr. Spetzler summed it up: “Science is only as valuable as the difference it makes in the real world. That's what drives us every day.” Scaling Innovation for the Future For Caris, growth means more than company expansion—it means scaling the reach of its technology so that physicians everywhere have the tools to personalize cancer care. This, Woolfenden pointed out, is a different kind of “race to the start line”: one where the finish line is measured in lives saved and futures extended. As the first episode in the series, the dialogue with Caris Life Sciences set a high standard for Race to the Start Line. It showcased how innovation, when combined with purpose, can shape industries—and in this case, save lives.
Allergieën nemen wereldwijd toe. Eén op de vijf Nederlanders heeft inmiddels last van klachten zoals hooikoorts, astma of voedselallergieën, en in Europa loopt dat op tot 40 procent. Maar waar komt die allergie-explosie vandaan? En wat kunnen we doen om de impact te beperken? In de nieuwste aflevering van BNR Beter duiken we in deze vragen met kinderarts-allergoloog Monique Gorrissen van het Deventer Ziekenhuis en Sven Seys, Chief Scientific Officer bij het Belgische medtechbedrijf Hippo Dx. Volgens Gorrissen speelt de aantasting van onze huid- en slijmvliesbarrière een grote rol. Stoffen in wasmiddelen en tandpasta, maar ook luchtvervuiling en fijnstof, maken ons lichaam gevoeliger voor allergenen. Onderzoek in Zwitserland laat zien dat sinds de jaren zestig steeds meer jonge mannen antistoffen ontwikkelen tegen alledaagse stoffen, en die trend loopt gelijk met de opkomst van moderne schoonmaakmiddelen. Ook verstedelijking, hitte en agressievere pollen van bomen dragen bij aan de toename. Naast leefomgeving speelt ook leeftijd een rol. Het immuunsysteem is bij kinderen actiever en reageert anders dan bij volwassenen. Dat verklaart waarom allergieën vaak in fases komen en bij kinderen ernstiger kunnen verlopen. In het Deventer Ziekenhuis wordt onderzocht of gecontroleerde blootstelling aan kleine hoeveelheden allergenen bij jonge kinderen kan helpen om klachten later in het leven te verminderen. Een andere ontwikkeling komt van Hippo Dx. Het bedrijf ontwikkelde een prikrobot die tot twaalf huidprikken tegelijk kan zetten, met een constante prikdiepte en hoeveelheid allergeen. Dit maakt allergietesten efficiënter en preciezer dan de handmatige methode die verpleegkundigen nu gebruiken. Bovendien worden de huidreacties met AI gedigitaliseerd en gestandaardiseerd, wat vergelijkbare onderzoeksresultaten tussen ziekenhuizen mogelijk maakt. De robot wordt al in zo’n veertig klinieken in Europa gebruikt. Voor jonge kinderen is hij nog niet geschikt, maar daar wordt aan gewerkt. De economische impact van allergieën is groot: van productiviteitsverlies tijdens het pollenseizoen tot hoge zorgkosten. Toch zijn er volgens Monique Gorrissen ook preventieve maatregelen. Meer tijd in de natuur doorbrengen, kinderen vroeg blootstellen aan diversiteit in de omgeving, en matig gebruik van was- en schoonmaakmiddelen kunnen helpen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Discover why the standard B12 test might be missing your deficiency, and learn the better biomarkers that could reveal if brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive decline are actually nutrition-related rather than age-related.In this deep dive with Dr. Martin Warren, Chief Scientific Officer at the Quadrum Institute and leading B12 researcher, we explore why vitamin B12 deficiency is far more common and complex than most people realize. Dr. Warren explains why standard B12 blood tests are unreliable (with only 50/50 accuracy for detecting deficiency), why the current deficiency cutoff of 148 picomolar may be too low, and how homocysteine and methylmalonic acid are better indicators of functional B12 status. He reveals that B12 deficiency can masquerade as normal aging—causing brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive decline—but is often reversible with proper treatment. The discussion covers why plant-based diets create deficiency risks, how absorption changes with age due to intrinsic factor decline, the connection between B12 and brain health (including white matter damage), and practical testing and supplementation strategies. Dr. Warren also makes a compelling case for revolutionizing healthcare through regular micronutrient monitoring rather than waiting for disease symptoms to appear.
The promise of advanced cell therapies is undeniable, but as demand skyrockets, the challenges of taking a living drug from bench to bedside have never been greater. Each batch brings variability, each jurisdiction adds regulatory hurdles, and every strategic decision can determine whether a lifesaving therapy reaches patients or fizzles out behind clinical barriers.Lindsay Davies is a leading figure in the cell and gene therapy field, serving as Vice President-Elect for Europe at the International Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ISCT). She is Chief Scientific Officer at NextCell Pharma, co-founder of QVance, and founder of the consultancy CellTherEx. With over 20 years of experience across academia and industry, she brings deep expertise in MSC manufacturing, process development, and commercialization of advanced therapies. Here are three reasons this episode is a must-listen:Manufacturing at Scale, Without Compromise: Lindsay shares why NextCell Pharma has stuck with large-scale 2D manufacturing for MSCs, leveraging cell morphology and a patented donor selection algorithm to reduce batch-to-batch variability while maximizing reproducibility and safety, even when treating hundreds from a single batch.Smart Scaling: Up, Out, or Both? The debate isn't just academic. Lindsay explores when it makes sense to scale up processes versus scaling out to multiple manufacturing sites. She highlights how harmonizing global regulatory expectations and moving to closed 2D systems can lower costs, de-risk production, and bring life-changing therapies to more patients worldwide.Network or Nowhere: Lindsay calls out the myth of the lone innovator, championing the crucial role of strategic networking, partnership models, including “sweat equity”, and early regulatory engagement as keys to avoiding the common commercialization pitfalls that stall so many promising ATMPs.Wondering how to navigate the twin challenges of process control and commercial viability in ATMP development?

Medicine stands at the threshold of a new era, where artificial intelligence and systems biology are working hand in hand to make care more personal, predictive, and precise than ever before. AI is already improving diagnostic accuracy, automating administrative tasks, and uncovering patterns in data—like retinal scans or genomics—that humans often miss. Rather than replacing doctors, AI enhances their ability to deliver more informed, precise, and efficient care. At the same time, individuals are gaining tools—from at-home diagnostics to wearable biosensors—that empower them to track and optimize their own health. This shift marks a move from reactive, disease-centered care to a proactive, data-driven model of scientific wellness. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Eric Topol, Dr. Nathan Price, Dr. Leroy Hood, Dr. Vijay Pande, and Daisy Wolf about how artificial intelligence, personalized data, and wearable technology are converging to radically transform medicine.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, sits down with Jason Hawkes, MD, Chief Scientific Officer at Oregon Medical Research Center, to explore the role of dupilumab in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a condition historically managed outside dermatology. They begin with the immunologic underpinnings of CSU, explaining the role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving mast cell activation and the role of IL-31 in itch. Since dupilumab blocks these key cytokines, it can disrupt the disease process at multiple levels, from antibody formation to immune cell recruitment. They discuss the growing comfort among dermatologists in treating CSU now that a familiar and accessible agent like dupilumab is available, especially when compared to omalizumab, which has been limited by concerns over anaphylaxis and practice logistics. They next address real-world considerations, including the time dupilumab takes to work, the use of short-term corticosteroids, and the need for personalized treatment approaches. They caution against over-reliance on corticosteroids and discuss alternative bridging therapies like cyclosporine or methotrexate for severe cases. The episode also covers dosing nuances, patient selection, how to distinguish CSU from other urticaria types, and the importance of setting expectations. Dr Hawkes shares his experience with long-term efficacy, noting minimal loss of response among his patients. Listen to this episode for more clinical insights on dupilumab as a key treatment in managing chronic spontaneous urticaria, including considerations around patient selection, duration of therapy, and long-term disease control.
One week ago, on July 15, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin held a hearing titled: Voices of the Vaccine Injured. Senator Johnson is the Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Five witnesses gave their testimonies related to vaccine injuries and two witnesses spoke on vaccine efficacy. Interestingly, on the day of this hearing, WND.com released a story concerning an undercover video by the O'Keefe Media Group. They allegedly caught a scientist with Johnson & Johnson on undercover video who indicated that proper testing was not done on the COVID vaccines. This should surprise no one as there have been many individuals who've experienced severe health consequences due to certain vaccines. Unfortunately, their stories are largely ignored. This edition of Crosstalk brings such stories to light as you'll hear testimony from the following individuals: Emily Tarsell, whose daughter Christina died following the Gardasil vaccination. Dr. Brian Hooker, Chief Scientific Officer for Children's Health Defense, gave testimony concerning his son Steven. Dr. Robert Sullivan, a board certified anesthesiologist who himself was vaccine injured. Polly Tommey, the mother of a son who was vaccine injured. Krystal Cordingley, whose son Corbyn, died after a flu vaccination.

Today, you will hear information about testing your male partner with a relatively new test called SpermQT. This week, the Fertility Docs, Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center welcome a groundbreaking guest: Dr. Kristen Brogaard, Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of Path Fertility. Kristen joins the Docs to discuss SpermQT, one of the first major innovations in male fertility testing in years. SpermQT goes beyond a traditional semen analysis to assess sperm DNA and determine whether sperm is capable of fertilizing an egg. If the SpermQT test is abnormal, it strongly suggests that natural conception or IUI will likely fail, making IVF the recommended next step.Kristen shares how Path Fertility is conducting multiple studies to evaluate pregnancy outcomes when the SpermQT test is applied to men whose partners conceive naturally or through IUI and aims to track pregnancy through delivery. Future analysis in the IVF lab will evaluate fertilization and embryo development in men with normal versus abnormal testing. SpermQT is helping to redefine how we understand male fertility, challenging the outdated assumption that a normal semen analysis equals fertility. If you order the test the DISCOUNT CODE is FDU.

Peter A McCullough, MD, MPH, Chief Scientific Officer, TWC, twc.health/GRUBER, Promo Code GRUBER Saves 10% The new COVID variant has a nasty new symptom that has led the media to dub it as the “Razor Blade Throat” variant It feels a little coincidental that at a time that pharmaceutical profits are dropping and COVID vaccine boosters are at an all time low that this new scary sounding variant is out there
Experts warn AI and transhumanist biotech may render humans economically inessential, creating a “useless class” as machines outpace human intelligence. Surveillance of biological data by governments and corporations – mostly gathered through mass vaccination programs – could lead to total control, as your digital and bio data are decoded to manipulate decisions with an algorithm tailored to your specific beliefs and profile. Many fear a future “digital dictatorship” where surveillance strips away all privacy and enables streamlined control of citizens by corporations and governments. Dr. Peter McCullough examines the NB.1.8.1 variant's rapid rise and USDA's poultry vaccination plans, questioning COVID vaccine efficacy claims. Joe Allen discusses AI's cognitive impacts, misinformation about transhumanism, and the latest case of AI-driven false accusations. Dr. Peter McCullough is a renowned internist, cardiologist, and Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company. He is co-author of the frequently-banned book The Courage to Face COVID-19.

Today we have the second installment of our interview with Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of Sovaris Aerospace, a company focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. In today's interview, we talk to Michael about NASA's plans to send humans to Mars and build permanent colonies on the Moon and Mars. We also talk to Michael about his recent book, “Building a Space-Faring Civilization,” which addresses the challenges of civilian spaceflight and the construction of space settlements. In part one of our interview, Episode 182, we talked with Michael about his pioneering work in the field of precision medicine and how he has used it to improve the cognitive and physical performance of astronauts as well as NBA, NFL players and Special Operations forces. In addition to his work with Sovaris, Michael also is a professor of aerospace medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, one of the few programs in the U.S. that offers a medical residency in aerospace medicine. Show notes: [00:03:00] Dawn picks up our interview from where we left off in part one, discussing the Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight. She goes on to mention that Chris Mason at Cornell University has a biobank of 1,500 samples across 22 astronauts and seven missions, and that these samples will lead to deeper insights on the effects of spaceflight on humans. Dawn switches gears to ask Michael about the cognitive and physical challenges of spaceflight over long duration missions. [00:13:03] Following up on the cognitive challenges of long duration spaceflight, Ken mentions that the hippocampus, the primary memory center of the brain, has a relatively low radiation threshold compared to other tissues in the brain. Ken asks Michael to touch on the vulnerability of specialized brain tissues to radiation, particularly in the context of a long duration spaceflight to Mars. [00:21:53] Ken mentions that it is understood that the APOE4/4 genotype is associated with impaired cognitive performance under certain circumstances and an elevated risk of dementia. While it is currently unknown whether APOE4/4 has any correlation of increased risk associated with cognitive impact resultant from environmental exposure due to spaceflight, Ken highlights the concern with sending APOE4/4-positive astronauts on long duration spaceflights without knowing the risks. [00:29:26] Ken notes the worsened cognitive impacts resultant from medical radiation, and while therapeutic radiation is different than radiation experienced by astronauts, these results give some indication of the effects astronauts might experience. [00:33:27] Dawn mentions that we recently had planetary scientist and director of NASA's Haughton-Mars project, Pascal Lee, on the podcast, who explained his view that since there are so many engineering and biological challenges with going to Mars, we should take a more measured approach to a Mars mission, perhaps even beginning with a roundtrip to Mars rather than landing on our first visit. Dawn asks Michael what his thoughts are on this approach. [00:37:29] Ken shifts the discussion to the subject of one of Mars' moons, Phobos, and its potential role in a Mars mission. [00:40:30] Dawn pivots to talk about Michael's Book “Building a Space-Faring Civilization: Advancing the Renaissance of Science, Medicine and Human Performance in Civilian Spaceflight.” Dawn asks Michael to talk about the chapter concerning the question of space radiation from the standpoint of precision medicine. [00:55:12] Dawn asks Michael to talk about the lack of appreciation people have for the fact that a Mars mission would be the most dangerous thing we've ever done. [00:59:06] Ken mentions that Michael has worked with a lot of organizations, including Space X, which has a program, the Space X Mars Colonization Program,

Are wellness retreats just luxury getaways, or can they transform your health? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I speak with Dr. Vishal Patel, who explains how most wellness gadgets might be causing more stress than health benefits. We explore the science behind Sensei's approach, including how thermal imaging can detect muscular imbalances before they cause pain, and why most saunas aren't hot enough to deliver benefits. Dr. Patel debunks popular wellness myths, shares why foot strength is the foundation of longevity, and explains why tracking obsession can be counterproductive. Dr. Vishal Patel is the Chief Scientific Officer at Sensei, a wellness retreat company co-founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus. With a background as a physician with a PhD in genetics, Dr. Patel combines Western medicine with Eastern practices like Ayurveda to create evidence-based wellness approaches that focus on personalization rather than rigid rules.

In this episode of the "Metabolic Freedom Podcast," host Ben Azadi sits down with Alessandra Zonari, who is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of OneSkin. They explore the fascinating science behind skin aging, particularly focusing on senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie" cells. These cells tend to build up as we age and play a significant role in skin deterioration. Alessandra shares insights into OneSkin's groundbreaking approach, which involves using the OS1 peptide to reduce these cells and promote healthier skin. They also discuss why it's crucial to have scientific evidence backing skincare products, how lifestyle and environmental factors can affect skin health, and the advantages of using non-toxic ingredients. The episode highlights the importance of making informed skincare choices for overall well-being.
Today we have Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of Sovaris Aerospace, a company focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. Michael is also a professor of aerospace medicine at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, one of the few programs in the U.S. that offers a medical residency in aerospace medicine. Michael is known for his work pioneering the field of precision medicine. He uses molecular analytics, coupled with physiologic and behavioral assessments, to facilitate human performance and resilience on Earth as well as in the extreme environment of space. His work covers a spectrum from NASA, the NFL, the NBA, U.S. Olympic teams, Nike, SpaceX, Axiom Space, NASCAR, Special Operations, the Naval Submarine Medical Research Lab, the Mayo Clinic, and others. We had a long and fascinating conversation with Michael and decided to break the interview into two parts. This episode focuses on Michael's background and the cognitive and physical challenges astronauts experience in spaceflight. We also dive into the many ways that precision medicine is facilitating human performance and resilience here on Earth. In part two of our conversation, Michael talks about his work with NASA and SpaceX on the challenges of civilian spaceflight and the future of Mars exploration, including the construction of permanent colonies on the Moon and Mars. You won't want to miss that conversation. Show notes: [00:03:59] Dawn opens our interview mentioning that Michael grew up in Minnesota in a small farming community, asking if it's true that he sometimes had to do chores in 20- to 30-degree weather. [00:06:50] Dawn asks if it is true that Michael fell in love with science at a young age, even building telescopes at the age of 11. [00:08:00] Dawn asks Michael what it was that led him to become so fascinated with space specifically. [00:08:58] Dawn asks if Michael ever thought about becoming an astronaut. [00:10:09] Ken asks if it is true that Michael was a big reader as a child. [00:11:21] Dawn asks Michael to talk about his childhood athletic interests. [00:11:55] Dawn asks how it was that a high school quarterback from a small town in Minnesota ended up at university in the United Kingdom. [00:13:38] Ken asks Michael what years he worked at NASA Ames Research Center. [00:14:51] Ken mentions that when Michael was at NASA Ames, he did work collecting molecular and physiologic assessments of humans using NASA's 20-G centrifuge. Ken asks Michael to talk about the centrifuge and how he used it in his studies of hypergravity. [00:17:49] Ken comments on the fact that pieces of equipment like NASA's 20-G centrifuge are a precious scientific resource, and when they cease functioning, unfortunately, they are unlikely to be replaced. [00:19:40] Ken and Michael discuss the fact that microgravity, despite being one of the most pressing effects on astronaut health, is the one of the least addressed problems in human spaceflight. [00:21:48] Ken explains that Michael is the founder, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of a company called Sovaris Aerospace, which is focused on assessments and solutions applied to humans in space and extreme environments on Earth. Ken asks Michael where the idea came from to found this company. [00:24:35] Dawn explains that since the human genome was first sequenced, there has been an acceleration of genome-based technologies that have made it possible to consider a person's genetic makeup, both in healthcare and optimizing performance. Dawn asks Michael to talk about the work he does applying genomics to human spaceflight. [00:28:52] Dawn asks about Michael's direction of the molecular profiling and precision medicine efforts for the Golden State Warriors during their record-breaking 73-9 season [00:32:57] Dawn mentions that Michael published a review in the journal Meta...
