In this episode, Dr. Jones talks again with Dr. Paul Anderson, naturopathic doctor, researcher, and teacher. He joined the podcast last year to talk about cholesterol and lipid labs. This time the focus is on NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and why it matters for your health.They explain what NAD does in the body, especially for energy, brain function, and recovery. You'll hear how NAD levels drop as we age, how alcohol and medications can drain it faster, and the different ways the body makes NAD on its own.Dr. Anderson also talks about today's options, from supplements like NMN, NR, and niacinamide to IV therapy. He shares when IVs make sense, when oral forms might be enough, and what to know about side effects and safety, including the common question about NAD and cancer.This is a straight talk about NAD, what's real and what's hype, and how it can support energy, recovery, and long-term wellness.

• Jak doszło do tego, że nasze społeczeństwo tak panicznie boi się Edukacji Zdrowotnej?• Kto i z jakiego powodu sieje panikę moralną, manipulując, dezinformując i strasząc osoby,które mają być tej Edukacji, nie tylko potencjalnymi, beneficjentami? • Jakie realne koszty tej paniki przyjdzie nam zbierać przez lata?• Dlaczego zdrowie i życie ludzi/człowieka – kwestia dla wielu, jak głoszą, fundamentalna – stało się elementem niekończącej się i ciągle podsycanej rozgrywki politycznej ireligijnej. Ideologicznej wojny, w której na zakładników brane jest teraz najmłodszepokolenie, jego dobrostan i przyszłość indywidualna oraz zbiorowa?• Czy społeczeństwo ma świadomość rzeczywistej kondycji zdrowotnej wszystkich Polek iPolaków niezależnie od tego, ile mają lat?• Dlaczego przedmiot „Edukacja Zdrowotna” oceniono bezpodstawnie - bazując na opiniachrzekomych ekspertów - jako „kontrowersyjny”?• Czy klilalność, oglądalność i zasięgi liczą się teraz bardziej niż rzetelność i etykadziennikarska, zwłaszcza tych, którzy w mediach (również społecznościowych) dziennikarzami siebie określają?Zapraszam Was do obejrzenia kolejnego odcinka mojego podcastu, wktórym podejmuję temat Edukacji Zdrowotnej.To mój głos „w sprawie”, ale z innej perspektywy. Jest ona oparta (między innymi) na badaniach naukowych i doświadczeniu klinicznym, a nie na opiniach tych, którzy się na "wszystkim" znają i mają nieodpartą potrzebę podzielenia się tym publicznie. Życzę Wam, aby podcast był okazją, inspiracją do refleksji na temat Edukacji Zdrowotnej, której dorosła część Polek i Polaków zdaje się chyba potrzebować pilniej niż dzieci, a te ciągle jeszcze na nas liczą. Pytanie jak długo? Mamy wszyscy wiele w tej kwestii do zrobienia, bo od tego zależy nie tylko nasze jednostkowe nasze BYĆ albo NIE BYĆ, ale też to jak, kim być!***Omawiane publikacje:- Lewandowska A, Silczuk A, Mularczyk-Tomczewska P, Duda-Zalewska A, Jankowski Mand Gujski M (2025) Awareness of mental disorders and their risk factors - a nationwidecross-sectional survey among adults in Poland.

Beyond pharmaceuticals, Dr Brian Grimm presents an entire new approach to health and disease with a mitochondria-first perspective of 'field biology' based on light, water and magnetism.In this interview we cover how biophoton emissions coordinate cellular activities throughout the body, and how disrupting these signals may underlie many chronic diseases. We discuss why people with darker skin living at high latitudes face unique health challenges, and how simple adjustments to light exposure and meal timing can produce profound health benefits without medication.Dr Grimm is a practising Critical Care Physician in California. SUPPORT MY WORK

When we think of the term "medicine," one of the symbols that comes to mind is the stethoscope. Its use in almost every physical examination by healthcare providers makes it one of the most iconic and widely recognized medical devices. Despite the emergence of digital technologies and the first electronic stethoscopes, their operating principle and design still rely heavily on the patent filed by Dr. David Littmann in the 1960s. But in the era of miniaturization and artificial intelligence, there is a reason to believe that the stethoscope is ripe for a true transformation. Among those who share this opinion are Lapsi Health and the team of Diana van Stijn. Inspired by her experience as a pediatrician and the central role of body sounds in her profession, Diana envisions a new kind of stethoscope—without tubing, fitting in the palm of a hand, and leveraging the latest technological advancements to better equip physicians. This vision gave birth to Keikku, a next-generation digital stethoscope. Beyond rethinking the format and use of the stethoscope for doctors, Diana and her colleagues imagine a future where patients can use it themselves, paving the way for continuous auscultation. In this episode, we explore how Diana and her team are turning this vision into reality, and what it could mean for the prevention, detection, and monitoring of diseases, extending far beyond pediatrics. With humor and enthusiasm, Diana also shares a few secrets about her approach to balancing clinical practice, motherhood, and entrepreneurship in healthcare! Timeline: 00:00:00 - Diana's background as a Pediatrician, startup Co-Founder, and former National Team Swimmer 00:11:10 - The role of body sounds in medicine 00:15:08 - Early ideas on disrupting traditional stethoscopes 00:22:21 - Building Keikku, a portable, intuitive, and radically modern stethoscope 00:26:43 - Incorporating AI in the interpretation of body sounds 00:30:50 - Moving toward continuous auscultation and getting Keikku into the hands of patients What we also talked about with Diana: Shavini Fernando MedTech World Cirque du Soleil Jhonatan Bringas Dimitriades Magnetic Resonance Imaging Computed Tomography As Diana mentioned during the episode, you can learn more about Keikku here and the other devices in Lapsi Health's pipeline via their official website. To dive further into some of the topics mentioned in the episode, Diana recommends reading Intelligence-Based Medicine: Artificial Intelligence and Human Cognition in Clinical Medicine and Healthcare by Anthony C. Chang and the article published on JMIR Publications that she co-authored, Promises, Pitfalls, and Clinical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Pediatrics by Bhargava H. et al.

Hey everyone, Dr. Mo here from Digital Nomad Physicians! In this episode, I'm strolling through my new property in Bend, Oregon, reflecting on the eye-opening journey of locum positions and the bittersweet end to our two-month stay. We're diving deep into managing job expectations and the inevitable disappointment that can arise when reality doesn't match our ideals, particularly within the medical field.   Whether you're navigating the complexities of a large medical group or contemplating moving to a cash-based practice, it's crucial to assess your expectations, priorities, and the necessary changes to better align with personal goals. I share candid insights into the emotional and practical challenges many physicians face when feeling stuck in a job that doesn't fulfill them.   Join me in unpacking these themes and learn why maintaining a healthy perspective and willingness to explore other opportunities is vital for both morale and career satisfaction. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Dr. Ashori Private Practice: https://drashori.com Physician Coaching & Consulting: https://www.digitalnomadphysician.com/consult Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course: https://learn.digitalnomadphysician.com/  #DisappointmentInCareer #LocumTenens #PhysicianLife #CareerExpectations #MedicalCareerAdvice #DigitalNomadPhysician #JobFulfillment #HealthcareCareer #MindfulMedicine #PhysicianCoaching

A 70-year-old client fills in an online intake form, saying she has myasthenia gravis, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. She only takes Synthroid, and says her hypothyroidism and hypertension are well controlled. She has low back pain and muscle soreness. At first glance, this seems fairly simple. MG does not appear to be a major factor for her, because she is not controlling it with medication. But a closer look reveals some possible tangles between MG, hypothyroidism, and some cautions about hypertension drugs.

If you drink alcohol, the chances are that on occasion you've overdone it and drunk way more than you planned to. Or maybe you decided to let yourself have a big night out, even though you know you'd have to deal with a pounding headache the next morning. Well, to make things worse, that hangover often comes hand in hand with overwhelming feelings of shame and regret about what you might have said or done during the night out. And that combo now has a name: hangxiety. Of course, it's a mash-up of two words: hangover and anxiety. And according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine in 2019, about 12% of people experience it.   What causes us to feel anxious after drinking? How can we ease that anxiety?
