Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. This week, host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Elliot Justin, emergency physician, innovator, and founder of FirmTech, for a conversation that's equal parts fascinating, funny, and paradigm-shifting. Together, they explore a topic that most people find awkward to talk about—but everyone is curious about: male sexual health.Dr. Justin shares how a personal injury and a deep curiosity about human physiology led him to develop an unexpected form of wearable technology—an erection ring that can not only enhance sexual performance but also collect valuable health data. Beneath the humor and candor lies something revolutionary: nocturnal erections, it turns out, may be one of the most powerful predictors of cardiovascular health we've been overlooking.In this episode, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Justin unpack what it means when men stop getting morning erections, how this can serve as an early warning sign for heart disease, and why the term “erectile dysfunction” might need to be retired altogether. They explore the complex interplay between vascular, neurological, and psychological factors that drive sexual performance; and how rebranding “dysfunction” into erectile fitness reframes the conversation around men's health, confidence, and relationships.From bedside humor to hard science, Dr. Justin reveals how FirmTech's technology has already identified hidden cardiac disease in users, improved relationships, and empowered men to take charge of their health in a completely new way. The discussion ranges from cardiovascular physiology to the social stigma surrounding male sexual health—and how technology might just be the bridge that makes it easier to talk about.If you've ever wondered what your body might be trying to tell you, why sex can be one of medicine's most underused diagnostic tools, or how innovation can transform intimacy and health alike, this episode is for you.Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about the science—and future—of erections.Dr. Elliot Justin, MD, FACeP, CEO of FirmTechhttps://myfirmtech.comEpisode Timestamps 01:00 Introduction to Health Metrics02:56 The Journey to Sexual Health Technology05:48 Understanding Nocturnal Erections09:13 The Role of Vascular Health11:57 Redefining Erectile Dysfunction14:54 The Impact of Technology on Sexual Health17:53 The Importance of Venous Return21:06 Patient Experiences and Relationship Dynamics24:02 The Power of Data in Sexual Health26:56 Safety and Usage of the Technology29:57 Future of Sexual Health Screening32:54 Concluding Thoughts on Sexual HealthEpisode TakeawaysNocturnal erections can serve as a leading indicator of cardiovascular health, offering a non-invasive way to monitor heart health.The technology developed by Elliot provides a dual-purpose solution: tracking nocturnal erections and serving as an erection ring to maintain sexual performance.Elliot's personal journey from emergency medicine to developing this technology highlights the importance of addressing sexual health as a vital component of overall well-being.The conversation challenges the stigma around erectile dysfunction, advocating for a shift towards discussing "erectile fitness" to promote a positive and proactive approach to sexual health.The data collected from the wearable technology can help differentiate between psychogenic and physiological causes of erectile issues, providing valuable insights for personalized treatment.Elliot emphasizes the need for a personalized approach to health, where individuals can use data to understand their unique health needs and make informed decisions.The episode underscores the potential of wearable technology to disrupt traditional medical practices by providing actionable insights and empowering individuals to take control of their health.Dr. Mark Bonta and Elliot discuss the broader implications of their work, suggesting that it could lead to new standards of care for men over 45 or those with specific health conditions.The conversation highlights the importance of open dialogue about sexual health, encouraging listeners to consider the benefits of integrating sexual health monitoring into their wellness routines.Elliot's innovative approach to sexual health technology is positioned as a tool for enhancing relationships and improving quality of life, beyond just addressing medical concerns.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for October 30th Publish Date: October 30th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, October 30th and Happy birthday to Henry Winkler I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 9 STORY 1: Walgreens and InCommunity partner to offer free vaccination clinics in Norcross Walgreens and InCommunity are hosting free vaccination clinics around the metro area, including one this Friday in Norcross. No insurance? No problem. Everyone’s welcome—individuals, families, whoever needs it. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., head to the Gwinnett Academic Assist Program Training Center at 1600 Oakbrook Drive. Flu shots, COVID boosters, RSV, shingles, pneumonia—you name it, they’ve got it. Licensed Walgreens pharmacists will be there to handle it all. And yes, it’s completely free. If you’ve got Medicaid or insurance, they’ll process it, but it’s not required. Walk-ins are fine, or register online through Walgreens. Don’t miss it! STORY 2: A state representative steps down, creating another vacancy in the General Assembly  Another Georgia lawmaker is stepping down, adding to the growing list of vacancies in the state legislature. Rep. Marcus Wiedower announced Tuesday he’s resigning after six years in the House. Why? His job at Hillpointe, a real estate development firm, is booming—13 states now, up from one when he started. “It’s bittersweet,” he said, explaining the travel demands would pull him away from the Capitol. Wiedower chaired the House Appropriations Subcommittee on General Government. A special election will be held to fill his seat in District 121, along with three others left vacant by resignations and, tragically, a death. Politics never slows down. STORY 3: Gwinnett senator to Kemp: Declare SNAP benefits emergency   State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes, is urging Gov. Brian Kemp to step in and help Georgia families who are about to lose their SNAP benefits because of the federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which started Oct. 1, has left Congress at a standstill, and now the USDA says SNAP benefits won’t be issued after Nov. 1. For 1.4 million Georgians—kids, seniors, working families—that’s a crisis. “Food isn’t optional. We have a moral duty to act.” She said. She’s asking Kemp to declare a state of emergency and use Georgia’s $14.6 billion surplus to provide aid, pointing to similar actions in Virginia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, the blame game rages on. But for families relying on SNAP? The politics don’t matter. They just need food. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: GDOT: Expect congestion near Netherworld on Halloween  If you’re heading to Netherworld this Halloween, brace yourself—it’s not just the haunted house that’ll be packed. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning drivers to expect traffic nightmares around metro Atlanta’s Halloween hotspots, especially Friday and Saturday. Netherworld, Six Flags, Stone Mountain Park, The Battery, and even Little 5 Points? All on the list of places where traffic’s gonna crawl. GDOT says the worst congestion will hit Friday from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. And don’t forget the neighborhoods. Trick-or-treaters will be out, so slow down, stay alert, and for the love of candy, don’t drive distracted—or worse, drunk. STORY 5: Helping Kids Shine: Former Athletes Bring KidStrong to Gwinnett to Boost Youth Confidence When Jordan and Shaun Wade moved to Atlanta, they were just looking for something—anything—that could help their 3-year-old son, Shiloh, come out of his shell. Confidence, they thought, was the key. Jordan, a former Team USA track star, and Shaun, an Ohio State football standout now with the Chicago Bears, tried a few programs. Nothing clicked. Then they found KidStrong in Alpharetta. KidStrong, a science-based program for kids (walking to age 11), focuses on emotional, mental, and physical growth. With over 160 locations nationwide, it’s helping 65,000 kids a week. And now, thanks to the Wades, it’s coming to Gwinnett County—Snellville in 2026, Lawrenceville in 2027. Though new to business, Jordan’s no stranger to leadership. A former captain of South Carolina’s track team, she’s ready to bring that same energy to KidStrong. For more info, visit kidstrong.com or email Jordan at jordan.wade@kidstrong.com.

Fernanda shares her story of pregnancy loss after losing her son George at 20 weeks and the stillbirth of her daughter Natalie. She opens up about grief, pregnancy after loss, and her mission to create the Natalie Foundation to bring Rainbow Clinics to the U.S. Her story is one of love, healing, and finding hope after loss.

This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, examine the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) 2024 report—a document shaking up global veterinary medicine. The CMA's findings on pricing, ownership disclosure, and consumer trust have sparked heated debates across the profession. Ernie and Beckie explain how the CMA found clients often don't know who owns their vet clinic, leading to confusion about costs and care. They discuss the agency's recommendations for mandatory transparency, including requiring clinics to clearly display ownership and pricing for services such as cremation or after-hours care. Beckie highlights the public's growing frustration with hidden fees and the pressure this places on front-desk staff, while Ernie connects the dots to corporate consolidation trends in the U.S. and Australia, where similar oversight may be on the way. Both hosts agree that transparency shouldn't be feared—it's a chance to rebuild client trust and showcase the value of high-quality veterinary care. This episode challenges veterinary leaders to shift their mindset: transparency isn't a threat, it's an opportunity. If you're a clinic owner, technician, or manager wondering what this report could mean for your practice—or your clients—this is the episode to hear. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VeterinaryTransparency #CMAReport #PriceTransparency #CorporateVetMed #GlobalVetMed #VeterinaryLeadership #FutureOfVetMed

Andrea Sachs, Travel Reporter for the Washington Post, discussed how to save money on inoculations and health advice for travel. Then Frommer's author Tamara Hinson discussed why so many travel prices are increasing, and how to save money anywayTakeaways: Travelers must be aware of the significant costs associated with vaccinations required for some international trips, as they can be exorbitant. Consultation at travel clinics can lead to unexpected expenses, and it is advisable to research beforehand to avoid overspending. Primary care physicians can provide valuable recommendations for vaccinations, potentially reducing unnecessary expenses . It is prudent to investigate various travel clinics and compare prices, as not all facilities charge the same for vaccinations and consultations.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. This week, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Filippo Ongaro. He is a physician, bestselling author, and former flight surgeon at the European Space Agency who joins Dr. Bonta in the studio to explore a topic that's redefining how we think about aging: the pursuit of healthspan over lifespan.In a world obsessed with biohacking, supplements, and quick fixes, Dr. Ongaro brings the conversation back to fundamentals; how to age strong, not just long. Drawing from his years working with astronauts exposed to the accelerated aging effects of space travel, he reveals how lessons from outer space can transform how we live here on Earth.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Ongaro unpack what it really means to live well into our later decades; why preserving muscle is the key to longevity, how sleep acts as free medicine, and why fitness, nutrition, and environment are the true “anti-aging” tools. They challenge the hype around lifespan extension and focus instead on the daily, unsexy habits: movement, connection, consistency - that have the biggest impact on well-being.Dr. Ongaro also shares how his work has evolved to emphasize coaching, where he works to help people bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. From setting up your home to promote healthy choices, to rethinking gratification, he offers practical, science-informed ways to turn small behavioral changes into lifelong transformation.If you've ever wondered whether living to 100 is the goal; or if living well to 80 might be the better and more realistic one, this episode will reshape your understanding of aging, motivation, and what it truly means to thrive over time.Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about living longer AND stronger.Check out Dr. Filippo Ongaro, MD Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@DrFilippoOngaroEpisode Timestamps02:00 Exploring Biohacking and Longevity03:08 The Importance of Healthspan vs. Lifespan06:11 Principles of a Good Healthspan09:06 Habit Change and Behavioral Science11:49 Creating a Supportive Environment for Health15:08 Lessons from Astronauts and Aging20:00 Motivating Change in Health Behaviors30:05 The Future of Longevity and HealthspanEpisode TakeawaysBiohacking is about more than just extending lifespan; it's about enhancing healthspan and quality of life.Fitness plays a crucial role in maintaining a high quality of life and can significantly impact healthspan.Habit change is essential for long-term health benefits, and coaching can be a powerful tool in facilitating this change.The lessons learned from astronauts about muscle preservation and stress management can be applied to everyday life.Simple lifestyle changes, like improving sleep quality and home ergonomics, can have a profound impact on health.The focus should be on applying existing knowledge about healthspan rather than seeking new, unproven methods.Behavioral change is key to improving health outcomes and should be integrated into medical practices.The concept of healthspan should become a common part of medical conversations to drive meaningful change.Practical interventions, like having a home gym, can be accessible and effective for many people.The future of longevity lies in making healthspan a universal focus, not just for biohackers or early adopters.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

BUFFALO, NY — October 21, 2025 — A new #editorial was #published in Aging-US on October 13, 2025, titled “Longevity clinics: between promise and peril.” In this editorial, Marco Demaria, Editor-in-Chief of Aging-US, from the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing (ERIBA), University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), University of Groningen (RUG), reviews the rapid rise of longevity clinics worldwide. Longevity clinics have emerged globally in response to increasing demand for personalized, preventive healthcare. Located in countries such as the United States, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates, these centers offer advanced diagnostic services, including genomic testing, advanced imaging, and multi-omics profiling. Their goal is to extend healthspan—the number of years a person lives in good health—through customized lifestyle interventions, nutritional guidance, and, in some cases, experimental therapies. “Longevity clinics embody an important vision: healthcare is personalized, preventive, and engaged.” Although the concept of proactive aging care is attractive, the editorial raises serious concerns about the scientific and ethical foundations of these clinics. Many operate outside conventional medical systems and lack connections to academic geroscience. This disconnection allows them to market expensive interventions without sufficient clinical validation. Program costs can range from €10,000 to over €100,000 per year, limiting access to wealthy individuals while leaving out populations most at risk for premature aging. Despite these challenges, Dr. Demaria notes that longevity clinics may contribute meaningfully to innovation. By collecting extensive, long-term health data from clients, these clinics have the potential to identify early biomarkers of aging and detect signs of age-related diseases. Unlike traditional clinical trials, which are limited in scope and duration, longevity clinics track a wide range of health data over time. When paired with artificial intelligence tools, this information could help advance the science of healthy aging. However, several risks remain. Many clinics lack standardized protocols, and the tools they use, such as biological age calculators or hormone therapies, often lack accuracy or clear clinical value. Without proper guidelines, clients may receive advice that is confusing or not scientifically supported. This can reduce public trust in the broader field of longevity research. To ensure these clinics contribute positively to health innovation, the editorial outlines different key steps: greater collaboration with academic researchers, the adoption of standardized protocols, increased transparency, and work toward regulatory clarity. Broader access must also be considered by developing scalable and more affordable models, possibly through partnerships with public health systems. Ultimately, longevity clinics represent both a major opportunity and a serious concern. If integrated responsibly with science, policy, and public health, they could support a shift toward personalized, preventive healthcare. Without this alignment, however, they risk reinforcing inequality and weakening the credibility of the science behind aging.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik digs into how fitness and healthcare can finally work as one system. Dr. Kevin Brown—Doctor of Physical Therapy, CSCS, and founder of Performance Therapy Fitness (Gahanna, OH)—lays out a practical, scalable model that connects rehab to strength training for adults 40–50+ so they move better, build resilience, and stay pain-free. We cover individualized movement assessments, habit-building, safe progression, and why “movement health” (strength, mobility, balance, control) should be tracked like blood pressure. If you lead a clinic, run a gym, or you're simply aging actively, this conversation gives you a blueprint to merge prevention, performance, and long-term independence.   About the guest  : Dr. Kevin Brown is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He founded Performance Therapy Fitness to bridge rehab and fitness under one roof, helping adults—especially 50+—gain strength, restore confidence, and maintain pain-free movement for life.   Key takeaways: “Movement health” = strength, mobility, balance, motor control; track it like vitals. Most PT discharges don't equal real-life readiness; a guided fitness continuum closes the gap. Adults 40–50+ often repeat injury cycles by returning to old workouts without foundations. Start with an individualized assessment (goals, history, habits) + movement screen. Safe progressions reduce fear: workouts should work muscles, not flare joints. Two to three days/week of strength training plus weekly cardio minutes is a durable baseline. Prevention belongs inside programming: mobility, stability, and tissue work are baked in. Clinics and gyms can align through shared protocols and consistent language to patients. Scalable systems—not star clinicians—enable this model to spread across locations. Future state: annual “movement health” checks trigger early referrals, preserving independence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://performancetherapy1.com/ Connect with Dr. Kevin Brown on LinkedIn (search by name + clinic) Preferred: reach out via the clinic's website/contact page for assessments and programs   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this week's episode of Ditch The Labcoat, host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with gastroenterologist and podcast host Dr. Neil Parikh—known from The Gut Doctor Podcast—for a fascinating journey through one of the most complex and misunderstood systems in the human body: the gut.Together, they unpack the modern obsession with “gut health,” the hype around the microbiome, and why everyone from wellness influencers to scientists seems to think the key to longevity lies somewhere between our mouth and anus. But this conversation goes far deeper than digestion—it explores how what we eat, how we live, and even how we think shapes our gut and, in turn, our overall health.Dr. Parikh blends science with relatable insights from his life as both a physician and a dad, sharing how early childhood experiences, diet, sleep, stress, and even how we talk about “tummy troubles” influence lifelong health. The discussion spans from the everyday nuisances of bloating and irritable bowel syndrome to the more serious red flags of inflammatory bowel disease—and the grey area in between that frustrates so many patients (and doctors).You'll hear about why our guts become more sensitive with age, why sugary drinks can wreak havoc on our internal ecosystem, and how something as simple as portion control—or a good night's sleep—can dramatically improve digestive wellness. Along the way, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Parikh also challenge the commercialization of gut health, questioning whether expensive probiotic supplements or social media trends actually stand up to science.If you've ever wondered what your microbiome is really doing, whether yogurt is worth the hype, or why your stomach isn't as resilient as it used to be, this episode will give you the clarity you've been craving.Time to get real about gut health and digest the science while crapping out the myth.Listen to The Gut Doctor Podcast by Dr. Neil Parikh, MD https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gut-doctor/id1605040922    Episode Timestamps 03:35 The Role of Gut Microbiome in Health09:16 The Importance of Gut Flora and Its Functions17:45 Dietary Choices and Their Impact on Gut Health21:08 Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Spectrum of Symptoms30:23 Distinguishing Between IBS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease34:44 Current Understanding of Inflammatory Bowel Disease37:09 Practical Dietary Advice for Gut HealthEpisode Takeaways1.

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Adeesha Pemananda is joined by Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera, a world-renowned dual board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and a pioneer in bioregenerative techniques and the number one provider of Sculptra aesthetics in the U.S. The discussion, titled "Breaking the Regenerative Plateau: How Clinics Can Differentiate, Diversify, and Scale Beyond Biostimulators in 2026," provides a visionary roadmap for clinics looking to move past traditional biostimulation and into the future of cellular longevity and orchestration. Dr. Shino Bay emphasizes that the next wave of aesthetics isn't about adding more biostimulators; it's about activating the body's own cellular intelligence through orthomolecular signaling, like polyrevitalizing micronutrients, to improve tissue structure and function. He explains the difference between these micronutrients and PRP, detailing how combining them with traditional biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse can amplify results, leading to a total rejuvenation of the dermis's structure and function. He shares his practice's financial success, showing a massive return on investment from integrating these inexpensive micronutrients. To stand out in a crowded regenerative space, Dr. Shino Bay advises clinics to educate and elevate their patients' understanding, positioning the body as an ecosystem, not a canvas. He urges practitioners to adopt a philosophy of achieving true bio-restoration—not just external rejuvenation, by integrating functional aesthetic medicine principles like orthomolecular diagnostics, mitochondrial optimization, and hormonal balance into a unified, evidence-based system. Finally, he provides strategic advice on scaling, focusing on diversity through depth, not volume. He covers the financial, operational (investing in full-team training), and regulatory obstacles, stressing the need for compliance, transparency, and partnering with credible, ethical suppliers. Dr. Shino Bay's key takeaway is that every cell is a conscious, living entity that needs nutrition, protection, and hydration; when practitioners deliver this locally, they amplify all other treatment results.

Treat it like the investment it is. Step 1: Stop investing outside the business at the start—double down on reinvesting in your practice until it grows. Step 2: Grow income to a level where you have more than you need, without falling into lifestyle creep. Step 3: Avoid tax-first investments; focus on solid opportunities first, with tax benefits as a bonus. Step 4: Keep outside investments simple, liquid, and automated (e.g., index funds, Roth, brokerage). Step 5: Refocus on your core business—it's the biggest driver of your income, wealth, and eventual valuation. Five Wealth-Building Steps Reinvest first: Stop putting money into outside investments until your business is stable and growing. Scale income: Push until your take-home dwarfs your expenses, creating a true gap to invest. Avoid shiny tax tricks: Don't get lured into complex, illiquid strategies just to save on taxes. Automate simple wealth: Stick to straightforward, low-risk investments you don't need to micromanage. Refocus on the clinic: Your business is the asset that drives both income and long-term wealth potential. Why This Matters Cash flow: Clinics aren't tech startups with 10x exits, but they provide steady, strong cash flow. De-risking: Building wealth outside your business reduces stress and makes better decisions possible inside your business. Exit optionality: Even if you never sell, you've built income streams and assets that fund your life. Generational wealth: A smart clinic + simple investments can set up long-term family stability. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Audit reinvestment: Look at what you're spending outside your clinic and redirect into marketing, mentorship, or systems. Watch lifestyle creep: Don't inflate spending just because your clinic income grows. Vet opportunities: Only pursue investments you understand and can keep simple. Think barbell: Your clinic is the high-risk/high-reward side; balance it with simple, low-risk assets. Notable Quotes “The best financial decision I ever made was to stop investing outside of my clinic and pour it all back into growing my business.” “Don't let tax loopholes drive your investing. Solid investment first, tax benefit second.” “Your clinic is your core asset. Improve that, and everything else follows.” Action Items Redirect outside investments into your clinic until it's producing consistent profitability. Set a percentage of excess income for simple, automated investments once you have a surplus. Stop chasing tax shelters—pick straightforward, safe investments instead. Schedule time to review your clinic's systems, team, and profitability this quarter. Programs Mentioned Clinical Rainmaker: Coaching + plan to get you full-time in your clinic.

BBC report finds tragic accounts of Afghan maternity deaths after US-backed clinics shut. More than 400 medical facilities closed down in the country after the Trump administration cut nearly all US aid earlier this year, in a drastic and abrupt move following the dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The Trump administration has justified withdrawing aid, saying there were "credible and longstanding concerns that funding was benefiting terrorist groups, including... the Taliban", who govern the country. Also, major anti government protests in Turkey, and who's won what at the Emmys? The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.
