On this episode of the BackTable MSK podcast, co-hosts Dr. Chris Beck and Dr. Aaron Fritts review the basics of bone lesion biopsy, including patient selection, imaging modalities, and procedural steps. They begin with summarizing indications for bone lesions, which are most common in the setting of metastatic disease. Patients usually get referred for biopsy when a bone lesion is caught on CT imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The doctors emphasize that imaging multiple areas is needed to find the most easily accessible lesion, which is sometimes located within a solid organ, rather than within bone. While PET imaging can be useful for confirmation of sclerotic bone lesions, patients usually cannot receive PET scans without an established cancer diagnosis. Dr. Beck highlights the fact that lytic lesions with soft tissue components are technically easier to access than sclerotic lesions and result in higher yield. He occasionally uses a soft tissue biopsy needle for these lesions. For sclerotic lesions, he prefers the OnControl or Stryker bone biopsy coaxial systems. With the coaxial system, it can be hard to adjust the biopsy tract after you have already started drilling, but he recommends obtaining multiple cores at different angles of approach. He also advises listeners to choose the shortest needle possible, since this makes it easier to control and image the needle within the lesion.The doctors also discuss biopsy of tricky locations. Sternal lesions carry the risk of lung injury and pneumothorax, so when faced with these, Dr. Beck picks an oblique tract that has a longer trajectory. For lesions located in proximal extremities, he secures the limb to minimize movement. Next, disc biopsies are discussed. Patients usually present with discitis osteomyelitis from prior back surgery, IV drug use, or idiopathic causes. It is important to distinguish between infection of the disc space versus chronic degenerative disc disease, which can be identified by comparison with prior imaging and lab workup. For the lumbar spine disc biopsy, fluoroscopy is Dr. Beck's preferred imaging modality, and he reviews imaging landmarks. Dr. Fritts usually biopsies both bone and disc. Finally, they discuss post-procedural complications to watch for, such as chest x-rays in checking for lung injury and neurological exams to assess for new deficits. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Stryker Interventional Spine https://www.strykerivs.com --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 03:12 - Referrals and Imaging Techniques for Bone Lesion Biopsy 07:09 - Procedural Steps of Bone Lesion Biopsy 12:32 - Choosing Biopsy Tools 23:22 - Approach to Tricky Biopsy Locations 28:19 - Workup and Indications for Disc Biopsy 32:08 - Fluoroscopy vs. CT for Disc Biopsy 40:15 - Handling Biopsy Samples 48:03 - Post-Procedure Care and Complications --- RESOURCES Arrow OnControl Powered Bone Biopsy System: https://irc.teleflex.com/oncontrolsystem/ Stryker Bone Biopsy Coaxial System: https://www.stryker.com/us/en/interventional-spine/products/bone-biopsy.html BD Trek Powered Bone Biopsy System: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/bd-trek-powered-bone-biopsy-system Jamshidi Evolve Bone Marrow Needle: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/jamshidi-evolve-bone-marrow-needle BD Illinois Sternal/Iliac Bone Marrow Aspiration Needles: https://www.bd.com/en-ca/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/illinois-sternal-iliac-bone-marrow-aspiration-needles BD Mission Disposable Core Biopsy Instrument: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/mission-disposable-core-biopsy-instrument Disc Biopsy Visualization Website: https://www.pediatricir.com/disc-aspiration-for-discitis.html

In this episode of the Back Table MSK podcast, co-hosts and interventional radiologists Dr. Aaron Fritts and Dr. Chris Beck have an in-depth discussion about bone marrow biopsies, including their preferred techniques and devices, potential complications, and management of patient expectations. To start, they cover the typical referral pathway for biopsies, the majority of which involve hematology/oncology indications. Preoperatively, managing patient expectations is important to communicate, especially regarding sedation and pain control. The IRs also walk through the biopsy steps, anatomy of the ilium, and confirmatory imaging with CT and fluoroscopy. They also share their experiences with different biopsy needles such as the OnControl, Jamshid, and Trek systems. There are advantages to using a system that comes with a powered drill, but these can also increase patient anxiety. Additionally, it is important to consider the bone density of the patient when selecting the tool. A manual system may offer sufficient force for demineralized or osteoporotic bone. The hosts also discuss potential unintended outcomes of the procedure, including dry taps and entry into joints or sacral foramina. Finally, they review post-procedural care and patient emergence from sedation. --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 Introduction 03:36 Indications for Biopsy 05:40 Patient Consent and Sedation 13:58 Procedural Steps and Confirmatory Imaging 27:04 Comparison of Different Biopsy Tools 36:11 Dealing with Complications 41:00 Post-Procedural Care --- RESOURCES BackTable VI Episode 381- Anesthesia vs. Moderate Sedation: A Spectrum of Care with Dr. Vishal Kumar: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/381/anesthesia-vs-moderate-sedation-a-spectrum-of-care OnControl Powered Bone Biopsy System: https://oncontrolsystem.com/ Jamshidi Evolve Bone Marrow Needle: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/jamshidi-evolve-bone-marrow-needle Trek Powered Bone Biopsy System: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/bd-trek-powered-bone-biopsy-system

HANDLING ALCOHOL ABUSE IN DIVORCE AND COPARENTING EP 113HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Chris Beck, VP of Family Law Business Development for Soberlink Healthcare SUMMARY:Handling alcohol abuse in divorce and co-parenting is a complex and emotionally charged issue, as approximately 50% of divorces cite heavy drinking as a contributing factor. This not only shatters marriages but also casts a shadow of fear over co-parenting relationships. Concerns about a child's safety can be particularly agonizing, leading to questions like, "Will my child be safe?" In such situations, trust and transparency between the co-parents become paramount. Ensuring the well-being of the children should be the primary focus, with both parents working together to create a safe and nurturing environment and seeking professional guidance if alcohol abuse remains a concern. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Chris Beck, the VP of Family Law Business Development for Soberlink Healthcare. Together, they discuss alcohol abuse and what can be done if alcohol abuse is an issue in your divorce and co-parenting. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ● Does Sober Link give definitive proof about alcohol use? Soberlink is self-administered, and there is no middle person giving you the results. It's a breathalyzer that is combined with facial recognition technology, and internally, it has a way to submit the result in real time through Bluetooth and cyber technology.● How can I prove I can be trusted if I have a history of distrust? The pain point of losing trust to a point where monitoring is necessary is great, but Soberlink gives the other parent or the concerned party peace of mind that what is happening is real, as sobriety is documented in real-time, hence building trust back-to-back.● Can the alcohol test be done before the other parent talks to the child on a call to make sure they are sober? Yes definitely. Where there is severe alcohol use, treatment is ongoing, or visitation is done via Zoom, part of the program is testing and documenting their sobriety before the call, and you get and validate the compliant test results.● Why should I choose Soberlink over other alcohol monitoring technologies? Soberlink has robust technology that ensures the quality of their product is there. It's handheld, used remotely in real-time, and has family law-specific programs, technologies, and customer service.● No matter the situation, it's possible to keep a parent who is struggling with alcohol use disorder with the right treatment and the right technology to support the treatment. Technology is here to help you, help your child, and keep them safe. It's in the best interest of the child when both parents are part of their life. NOTABLE QUOTES:● Being able to prove that you are sober when parenting your children is empowering. (Chris) ● Having a technology that shows proof of sobriety, especially during co-parenting time, helps to mend the relationship, build trust back-to-back sooner, and bring the family immunity back. (Chris)● Family law can now do alcohol monitoring discreetly because of technology like facial recognition, and it doesn't have to be done in the presence of children. It can be self-administered and still give transparency to others that are part of the monitoring agreement. (Chris)● When someone has alcohol use disorder, they will do whatever they can to make sure they get the next drink, and Soberlink

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Robert Lookstein about the pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) approach for treating acute pulmonary embolisms (PE). Dr. Lookstein is a practicing interventional radiologist in New York City at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Penumbra Lightning Flash https://www.penumbrainc.com/products/lightning-flash/ --- SHOW NOTES We begin the episode by learning how Dr. Lookstein became involved in the PE space and how acute PE management has evolved. Dr. Lookstein breaks down the PERT at Mount Sinai, PERTs at other academic institutions, and the core qualities of a strong PERT. He walks us through a typical PE presentation, the process of PERT activation, and the workup with risk stratification. Dr. Lookstein also shares a few physical examination pearls for evaluating patients with PE and teasing out acuity vs. chronicity of presentation . Dr. Lookstein and Dr. Beck discuss endovascular PE interventions - ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis (trade name: EKOS catheter, Boston Scientific), first generation and second generation thrombectomy systems. The doctors also cover how advancements in technology have made these large-bore thrombectomy devices easier to learn about and use. Looking towards the horizon, Dr. Lookstein shares what we can expect from third generation technologies. We highlight how the primary endpoint of the PERT is to relieve the strain and stabilize/preserve the function of the right ventricle, regardless of how much clot is removed/remains. The doctors discuss the possibility of combined treatment algorithms for PE and the clinical data that has guided PERTs (all linked in resources below). To conclude the episode, Dr. Lookstein shares follow-up, longitudinal care, and how to tackle clot-in-transit. --- RESOURCES PERT Consortium: https://pertconsortium.org/ Ultima Trial: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-EU/medical-specialties/vascular-surgery/venous-thromboembolism-portal/pulmonary-embolism/clinical-data/ultima.html HI-PEITHO Trial: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-EU/medical-specialties/vascular-surgery/venous-thromboembolism-portal/pulmonary-embolism/clinical-data/hi-peitho.html CANARY Trial: https://www.acc.org/Latest-in-Cardiology/Clinical-Trials/2022/10/25/19/42/CANARY PE-TRACT Trial: https://evtoday.com/articles/2023-feb/pe-tract-a-closer-look STORM-PE Trial: https://pertconsortium.org/storm-pe-trial/ PEERLESS II Trial: https://ir.inarimedical.com/news-releases/news-release-details/inari-medical-announces-peerless-ii-randomized-controlled-trial

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews interventional radiologist Dr. Kush Desai (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine) and vascular surgeon Dr. Steve Abramowitz (MedStar Washington Health Center) about iliofemoral venous stenting. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Cook Medical https://www.cookmedical.com/divisions/vascular-division/ --- SHOW NOTES We start this episode by reviewing the evolution of knowledge and treatment of venous disease over recent years. Dr. Desai and Dr. Abramowitz identify referral patterns that connect patients with vascular and interventional physicians, and they emphasize how most patients are diagnosed in primary care pathways rather than in the emergency room. The doctors also underscore the importance of educating referring physicians and patients on the impact of early intervention and how vascular and interventional physicians are well-equipped to provide specialized care and management of venous disease. Dr. Desai and Dr. Abramowitz explain their work-up of patients with deep venous disease. The doctors cover necessary imaging studies and conservative treatments for clinic visits. They also explain their procedural approach, access sites, patient positioning preferences, and more. The doctors share guiding anatomical landmarks and recommendations on tools for crossing, along with their decision-making process in treating post-thrombotic patients. They also discuss best practices in venous stenting and post-operative follow up algorithms. We conclude this episode with important advice on how to avoid dangerous life-threatening outcomes. --- RESOURCES Society of Interventional Radiology Position Statement on the Endovascular Management of Acute Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis (2023): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1051044322013173 A review of the incidence, outcome, and management of venous stent migration: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2213333X2100411X

In this episode, interventional radiologists Dr. Aaron Fritts, Dr. Vishal Kumar, and Dr. Chris Beck discuss types of sedation for IR procedures. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Medtronic OBL https://www.medtronic.com/obl --- SHOW NOTES We start the discussion off by dividing the spectrum of patient sedation into three tiers: local anesthesia, moderate sedation with fentanyl and Versed, and deep sedation which encompasses anything beyond fentanyl and Versed. The conversation revolves around the fluidity of this spectrum, underscoring the ease with which patients can transition between these sedation levels, thereby adding layers of complexity to the decision-making process. Chris emphasizes the significance of embracing trauma-informed care, highlighting the potential for IR procedures to be maximally traumatic despite their minimally invasive nature. The doctors emphasize the importance of establishing comprehensive pre-procedural patient education to align expectations about pain management. Procedures that automatically trigger the requirement for an anesthesia team include procedures such as TIPS, tumor ablations, as well as declot procedures more recently. Decisions regarding anesthesia for these procedures are additionally influenced by factors such as the patient's condition, history of methadone exposure, the preference of the IR providers, and the comfort level of nursing staff. Vishal highlights the game-changing concept of having an anesthesia team present for real-time monitoring and the administration of nerve blocks during IR procedures. This collaboration is especially helpful for complex interventions. Vishal advocates for prioritizing patient safety over logistical considerations. He firmly contends IRs should be empowered to decide the level of anesthesia care since they have the most experience with the specific procedures and are best suited to recognize anesthesia needs. The conversation delves into the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scoring system, which categorizes patients based on their health status from ASA 1 (healthy) to ASA 6 (brain death). While IR procedures usually involve ASA 3 or ASA 4 patients, today's discussion uncovers the tendency among clinicians to underestimate a patient's ASA classification while overestimating their pain tolerance. The discussion raises critical questions about whether the IR community has grown complacent with moderate sedation in procedures and whether alternative approaches are warranted. --- RESOURCES American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification (ASA) Classification: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441940/

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck continues the discussion on managing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with Dr. Tyler Sandow and Dr. Juan Gimenez, interventional radiologists at Ochsner Health in New Orleans, Louisiana. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Boston Scientific TheraSphere https://www.bostonscientific.com/therasphere --- SHOW NOTES We continue the conversation where we left off in Part 1. Tyler and Juan share their thoughts on lobar treatment vs. radiation segmentectomy, selection strategies, and their preferred combination of ablation and Y-90. Tyler also reviews the core tenets of Y-90 treatment and references a handful of major landmark trials and studies. Juan highlights more studies that guide their approach to preoperative mapping and intraoperative delivery of Y-90. Juan emphasizes cone-beam CT and how this technique has significantly evolved over the years. We cover dosimetry software, navigation software, and the calculation of treated tumor volumes. Additionally, Tyler and Juan discuss their change in treatment approach for especially complex cases, which can involve factors such as extrahepatic feeders and difficult treatment locations. We also discuss the redistribution of flow and how underlying liver disease may affect treatment plans. We wrap up Part 2 of our discussion by highlighting the doctors' current research pursuits. Tyler tells us about exciting new developments in the tumor marker arena, the emerging role of albumin in HCC, and the rising popularity of radiation segmentectomy in metastatic disease. Juan shares a few closing thoughts on the extrahepatic applications of Y-90 and the advantages of using AI in interventional radiology. --- RESOURCES LEGACY Trial: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/interventional-radiology/interventional-oncology/therasphere/clinical-data/legacy-study.html RASER Trial: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35617978/ DOSISPHERE Trial: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/interventional-radiology/interventional-oncology/therasphere/clinical-data/dosisphere-01.html TARGET Study: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/interventional-radiology/interventional-oncology/therasphere/clinical-data/target-study.html Radiation Lobectomy: Preliminary Findings of Hepatic Volumetric Response to Lobar Yttrium-90 Radioembolization: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1245/s10434-009-0454-0 Radiation lobectomy: Time-dependent analysis of future liver remnant volume in unresectable liver cancer as a bridge to resection: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168827813004315 ACR–ABS–ACNM–ASTRO–SIR–SNMMI PRACTICE PARAMETER FOR SELECTIVE INTERNAL RADIATION THERAPY (SIRT) OR RADIOEMBOLIZATION FOR TREATMENT OF LIVER MALIGNANCIES: https://www.acr.org/-/media/ACR/Files/Practice-Parameters/rmbd.pdf Clinical, dosimetric, and reporting considerations for Y-90 glass microspheres in hepatocellular carcinoma: updated 2022 recommendations from an international multidisciplinary working group: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36114872/ “Simplicit90y” Boston Scientific Dosimetry Software: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/interventional-radiology/interventional-oncology/therasphere/dosage-and-administration.html

Imagine being handed a ticket to an entirely new life after just one hour of consultation. That's the story of Chris Beck, an ex-Navy SEAL, who transitioned into a trans woman following a meeting with a VA psychiatrist. In our latest episode, Beck joins us to discuss his consequential decade-long journey as a trans woman, the factors that influenced his decision, and his recent choice to reverse the transition. Beck's narrative is a chilling testament to the alleged manipulation by psychologists and liberals, and a startling insight into the booming industry of transgenderism.With a stark warning for parents considering hormone treatments or gender reassignment surgeries for their children, Beck urges exploration of the long-term implications. He draws attention to hard-hitting data from Sweden, a country with a history of such treatments. Beck's story underlines the need for critical thinking and understanding, especially when it could significantly impact the life of a child. This episode is a compelling mix of personal experiences and insights that shine a light on the rise of gender dysphoria clinics and the multi-billion dollar transgenderism industry. Beck's journey might have cost him dearly, but his story stresses the importance of understanding and protecting others from making uninformed decisions.Support the showSub to my RUMBLE: bit.ly/3OvIaVG

On this episode of "Prime Time with Alex Stein," host Alex Stein celebrates Flag Day by engaging in a fascinating comparison between the Ukrainian flag and the Pride flag, exploring their symbolism and significance — and which one looks better in a Twitter bio. The episode also features special guest Chris Beck, a retired United States Navy SEAL who gained public attention in 2013 after coming out as a trans woman and, more recently in 2022, announcing his detransition. Chris shares his personal journey and warns others of the complications of transitioning. Buckle up for another wild ride on the blimp!

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Nima Kokabi about renal trauma embolizations, including imaging workup, embolization technique, and a warning on renal biopsies. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Boston Scientific Embold Fibered Coils https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/products/embolization/embold-detachable-coil-system.html --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Kokabi was born in Iran, then moved to Canada where he grew up. He attended medical school in Australia due to the shortage of English speaking medical schools in Canada. After his medical training, he was interested in IR, and came to Yale for a fellowship. He then joined Emory as an attending, where he serves one of the largest trauma hospitals in the country. IR and trauma surgery have a close relationship at Emory, and Dr. Kokabi notes they rely more and more on IR for trauma management, even for things such as penetrating trauma, which is traditionally handled by surgery. Most IR consults for kidney injury are iatrogenic from non-target renal biopsies in a nephrology office. The rules for getting access to a kidney that IRs are trained in are generally not followed by nephrology, and only some have ultrasound guidance for their biopsies. Other consults for bleeding from kidney injury are post-op from a partial nephrectomy or from blunt trauma. To work it up, he gets a 2 phase arterial and venous CT. All kidney injuries are evaluated and reported using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale. If there is an active bleed, they will go to IR for embolization. If the injury is severe, and there is no parenchymal enhancement, this indicates either the artery or both the artery and vein were transected, and this patient requires surgery. In cases where there is only a small pseudo-aneurysm or a perinephric hematoma, these patients can be monitored with repeat imaging. For the embolization, Dr. Kokabi uses radial access. For his microcatheter, he likes the True Select. He always uses coils in the kidney, while in the liver, he uses gel foam. Some of his colleagues use glue for the kidney. He prefers detachable Embold coils, which are fiber coils with a nitinol pusher, so they don't kink when being pushed very fast, and can be adjusted if positioning is unsatisfactory. When he is finished, he injects first through the microcatheter and then again through the base catheter to ensure he hasn't missed any bleeding. He generally follows patients in the hospital for 1-2 days, before signing off. His parting advice to trainees and anyone doing kidney biopsies is to exercise caution, because although it is just a biopsy, it can cause life-threatening bleeding. --- RESOURCES AAST Kidney Injury Scale: https://radiopaedia.org/articles/aast-kidney-injury-scale

In this episode, host Dr. Chris Beck interviews Dr. Alexander Ushinsky about his standard workup and treatment when performing arterial thrombectomy in acute limb ischemia (ALI). --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR AngioDynamics Auryon System https://www.auryon-system.com/ --- SHOW NOTES In the past three years, Dr. Ushinksy has focused on building up peripheral vasculature service lines at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis. He has acquired skills not only in treatment of ALI, but also in building referral bases and collaborating with vascular surgeons and cardiologists. To begin, we review important aspects of a focused history and physical exam. It is crucial to assess whether the patient has underlying peripheral arterial disease (PAD), other thromboembolic diseases, or underlying coagulopathies. Different etiologies of thrombus could require additional consultation with hematologists and cardiologists. Additionally, timing of symptom onset is important to consider when planning interventions in an on-call setting. Dr. Ushinsky relies on extremity pulse exams using bedside doppler and the Rutherford Classification System for ALI to ascertain whether intervention can be helpful. In cases of Rutherford class 1-2a, intervention is usually warranted. Cases that fall into class 2b may or may not require intervention, and cases in class 3 and beyond usually do not gain benefit from intervention since lower extremity paralysis and clot burden is so severe. With regards to types of interventions, Dr. Ushinsky highlights two common IR procedures– lysis catheter placement and endovascular thrombectomy. In the past, lysis catheters were the only available endovascular treatment. We walk through catheter placement, noting that in order to gain maximum benefit, the catheter should be placed across the entirety of the thrombus, with holes proximal and distal to the lesion, so that tPA can be infused throughout the clot and have appropriate inflow and outflow tracts. Good candidates for lysis catheter placement include patients who have extensive clot burden in small vessels and those who have underlying CLI that can be definitively addressed in a later procedure. A major difference between lytic catheter placement and thrombectomy is that patients receiving lytic therapy require admission to the ICU for close monitoring and frequent neurovascular checks. Next, we pivot to discussion about newer thrombectomy devices. Dr. Ushinsky describes pros and cons of common devices that are used in his practice and types of cases that would benefit from each one. Thrombectomy is useful if there is a low clot burden that can be addressed in a single session. Additionally, this procedure is more appropriate than lysis catheter placement if the patient is elderly, has had recent surgery, or is otherwise a poor candidate for systemic tPA. Dr. Ushinsky always performs a diagnostic angiogram at the beginning of the case and a completion angiogram to confirm that the lesion has been fully treated. Overall, he believes that the best intervention for a patient is the one that the practitioner feels the most adept at and can safely perform. --- RESOURCES Rutherford Acute Limb Ischemia Classification System: https://www.jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-5214(97)70045-4/fulltext#secd69653256e1488 Boston Scientific AngioJet Thrombectomy System: https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/products/thrombectomy-systems/angiojet-thrombectomy-system.html Penumbra Indigo Thrombectomy System: https://www.penumbrainc.com/peripheral-device/indigo-system/ AngioDynamics Auryon Thrombectomy System: https://www.angiodynamics.com/product/auryon/ Rotarex Excisional Atherectomy System: https://www.bd.com/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/product-families/rotarex-rotational-excisional-atherectomy-system Pounce Thrombectomy System: https://pouncesystem.com/ Find this episode on BackTable.com to see the full list of resources.

Episode #50 is one of the most important interviews you'll ever hear. Chris Beck is a retired Navy Seal with 20 years service & 15 deployments under his belt. Even with his Bronze Star with Valor, Chris wasn't only known for his skills behind the trigger, but for his brilliance in technology and engineering. Chris pioneered the mission planning systems for all of SOCOM, revolutionized the future of warfare with the "Iron Man" Project, and contracted for the Pentagon with a $600 million dollar research and development budget. Despite all of his accomplishments, Chris was facing demons in private. TBIs, PTSD, and a traumatic childhood sent Chris down a path to find out who he truly was. Through trauma and misguided agendas, Chris transitioned to a woman and after years of being pulled into this ideology, ultimately started the long journey to transitioning back into the man he always was. This episode explores his journey through an abusive childhood, the trans agenda, and the nuance of sexuality & biology. Chris's fiance' Courtney joins us and explains how gender dysphoria can endanger and influence children and how society has reached a breakpoint with these issues. Stick around until the end of the episode to learn how Chris sparing a life in combat may have set the stage for him to save his own and how thousands of others will be.

In this episode, I was joined by Chris Beck. A retired Navy SEAL with multiple awards, including a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, he gained significant public attention in 2013 when he came out as a trans woman. At the time, Chris transitioned to “Kristen Beck” until 2022, when he announced his “detransition” and shared that the initial transition had “ruined my life”. In our conversation, Chris tells his story and shares his experience with gender dysphoria and  gender identity politics. We discussed the potential dangers of transition therapy, the politicization of gender identity, and the problems with pushing it as well as ways to navigate gender identity disorder.
