The advent of newer thrombectomy devices has turned what were once hours-long surgical cutdowns into endovascular cases that last under an hour. In this episode of BackTable, host Dr. Sabeen Dhand is joined by Dr. Shang Loh from the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Khanjan Nagarsheth from the University of Maryland to discuss the evolution of arterial thrombectomy devices and modern techniques for acute arterial occlusions. --- This podcast is supported by: Inari Medicalhttps://www.inarimedical.com/artix-system --- SYNPOSIS The episode highlights major technological advancements over the past decade, including the development of mechanical and computer-assisted thrombectomy systems. The physicians review key features of newer devices, such as the ability to combine aspiration with stent retrievers, the use of PTFE baskets to reduce distal embolization, and the advantage of maintaining wire access throughout the case. They share strategies for managing specific cases, including acute femoral-popliteal occlusions with distal reconstitution, intraoperative ischemic pain due to flow arrest, trauma-related thrombosis, and cases complicated by extensive calcification and chronic vascular disease. As vascular surgeons, they also discuss the ongoing role of open approaches, outlining when surgical cutdown is indicated and where they prefer endovascular first. The conversation further explores challenges such as acute limb ischemia, stent thrombosis, and visceral artery thrombosis, emphasizing the importance of staying current with rapidly evolving technologies to improve procedural efficiency and patient outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:04 - Evolution of Arterial Thrombosis Treatment04:11 - New Devices and Techniques10:42 - Case Studies and Practical Applications24:26 - Techniques and Devices for Thrombectomy25:33 - Managing Flow and Patient Safety27:25 - Surgical vs. Endovascular Approaches29:25 - Dealing with Complications and Failures37:50 - Visceral Thrombosis and Advanced Techniques41:09 - Future of Thrombectomy Devices44:27 - Closing Remarks

Eating for your microbiome doesn't have to be complicated — but it does require rethinking how we approach food, carbohydrates, and flavor. In this episode of The Mind–Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Anu Simh, a board-certified functional health coach, microbiome educator, and author of Flourish from Within: New Gut for Lifelong Health. Anu's work bridges the gap between microbiome science and real-world application, offering a framework for eating that supports microbial diversity without rigid meal plans or overwhelming recipes.They explore why diversity matters more than any single superfood, how to distinguish beneficial complex carbohydrates from refined ones, and why traditional cuisines — like Anu's South Indian roots — have been quietly aligned with microbiome science all along. The conversation also covers the role of herbs and spices as important sources of polyphenols, how to retrain your palate to accept bitter flavors, and how to build simple, repeatable eating patterns that actually stick in people's lives. This episode offers a grounded, science-based look at what it means to feed your microbiome, and how to translate research into sustainable habits that support gut health and long-term well-being.Topics discussed include:• Why microbial diversity is more important than any single superfood• How traditional cuisines align with microbiome science• The difference between refined and complex carbohydrates• Herbs and spices as polyphenol-rich additions to everyday meals• Retraining your palate to accept bitter and diverse flavors• Building simple, repeatable eating patterns for gut healthThis is a practical, science-driven discussion for anyone interested in the gut microbiome, plant-forward eating, and the brain–gut connection.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction2:36 - Anu's Origin Story and Journey to Microbiome Science8:46 - Has Plant-Forward Eating Reached the General Public?25:08 - The Flourish Diet34:54 - Herbs, Spices, and Retraining Your Plate45:07 - Closing Remarks and Practical Recipes

Sophie shares how her field experience shaped her understanding of building science and why proper load calculations, ventilation strategies, and dehumidification planning are essential for modern airtight homes.The conversation also explores the challenges of open‑cell spray foam, moisture buildup in encapsulated attics, and what builders and inspectors often overlook in new construction. Sophie breaks down heat‑pump retrofits, electrification trends, and the importance of balancing comfort, durability, and system design—offering practical, science‑based insights for anyone working with or living in high‑performance homes.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsYou can check out Energy Vanguard website here: https://www.energyvanguard.com/TakeawaysTight, high‑performance homes often require dedicated dehumidification, even in northern climates.Open‑cell spray foam allows moisture movement, which can raise attic humidity and impact roof decks.Proper HVAC design requires accurate load calculations, not rule‑of‑thumb sizing.Balanced ventilation (HRVs/ERVs) is essential in tight homes; Minnesota enforces some of the strictest standards.Retrofitting heat pumps into existing homes requires duct evaluation—it's not a simple swap.Many builder issues stem from overlooked details: attic access leaks, duct issues, missing covers, and ceiling‑plane air leaks.Electrification is growing, but homeowners must understand system impacts and design considerations.Chapters00:00 — Introduction02:00 — Sophie's Background & Career Path05:00 — High‑Performance Building & HVAC Design11:00 — Ventilation, ERVs & Climate Differences15:00 — Dehumidification in Airtight Homes17:00 — Moisture Problems with Open‑Cell Foam22:00 — Solutions: Conditioning Attics & Diffusion Ports26:00 — Heat Pumps, Dual‑Fuel & Proper Sizing31:00 — Electrification Trends38:00 — Common New‑Construction Issues47:00 — Field Lessons & Moisture Failures52:00 — How to Reach Sophie53:00 — Closing Remarks

In this episode, host Josh interviews Pradeep, a scientist-turned-entrepreneur who built a seven-figure Amazon business in under a year.

He is trained as a scientist at Oxford University and Harvard University, and then he became the vice president of Global Business development for a biotech company. During the pandemic, he found himself in a unique situation which led him to start his Amazon e-commerce business. He became a seven figure seller in just 11 months and now has a new business model of acquiring distressed assets, and he also owns a boutique Amazon account and launch management agency. So welcome to the podcast, Pradeep.Pradeep 00:00:36  Thank you so much.Josh 00:00:37  I love that you made the mention of when we go to conferences. And as you listen to speakers speak on stage or even listening to podcasts time and time again, we hear the same optimization strategies and the same keyword strategies, and it's just a new tool that people are using. But instead what you're saying is like, the hard stuff is what people aren't necessarily talking about. People aren't getting into the weeds of cogs and negotiating with suppliers and renegotiating on an ongoing basis, and the finer details of logistics and where you're warehousing things.Josh 00:01:14  And with Amazon, you know, reducing inventory limits across the board for people. What are people doing now to kind of prepare themselves for a world where Amazon does limit you completely and with maybe 1 or 2 months worth of inventory and that's it. And how are you staging your inventory and still winning on Amazon in that environment and then cash flow? I mean, all of these things are such great topics. So yes, let's do a deep dive into each of these. Let's start with the cogs first.Pradeep 00:01:45  Yeah, sure. so what we see is quite interesting with cogs. the cog numbers to start off with, sometimes a minimum, we say 3 to 5, but as Amazon and e-commerce goes more expensive, I think it's about 8 to 10. So if you're buying something for $1, you should be above 8 to 10 in terms of selling prices, if not more, right? What we see is again and again people are saying, hey, we have particularly beginners, hey, we have this 3 to 4, but with inventory, PPC, shipping and all these things, it's just the profits are gone.Pradeep 00:02:21  Before the pandemic or during the pandemic is very profitable. And this is, by the way, experienced. This sounds stupid. I find I find myself finding myself stupid explaining this to someone, but we actually see it every day. Seven, eight, nine figure sellers saying you want this brand because the cogs have gone too expensive because they haven't worked out. Fundamentally, the multiples and the multiples have to be really strong now and the bigger multiple margin to sell. So those cogs are fundamentally negotiable, and you have to have the right product and the cogs are cheap. Price number one. It sounds stupid, but that's what we see. Number two is the negotiation. Hey, we bought 100,000 units. Next time we're going to have three 400,000 units. But you're still selling for the same price. Why? Your your factory should be giving you a note or, you know, handle cash flow or a cheaper price because they're getting raw material cheaper. And what we see is, you know, I sign NDAs, but what we see is some of these aggregators and others who are famous when they go back and some of these factories are quite savvy, say, hey, you raise X amount of money.Pradeep 00:03:29  All of a sudden your cogs are gone up. So, you know. So I think that's again how you negotiate and how you have exclusive agreements for a period of time, particularly on your best selling products. We do this in pharma and other business tools all around the world. You want it for five years. This is the price. If the if if inflation goes down or if the market changes, this is going to be a price. We have the power to change it not you. So it might be having exclusive agreements. And that's how sophisticated you guys we have to get in e-commerce. Because this is no longer a, a mom and pop kind of operation. This has to be sophisticated. Even if your mom and pop or a guy in a basement. That's how you should be thinking. you know, solar. It could be a corporate on your own, but you've got to think like that. So, cogs and how you define the first cogs, the renegotiate the cost is very important.Pradeep 00:04:19  Then thirdly, how are you people storing cogs, right. How are you doing unit economics and how are you storing Excel sheet or software and so forth. And that has to be updated on a daily basis. we see fundamental mistakes and we see fundamental errors as well. You can pick it out straight away from, profit and loss statements as well. so that's something people have to be aware of. And it gets really hard because if you have multiple brands, multiple products, multiple inventory, you know, it's all over the place.

Most of us think chronic disease is just about food, genetics, or aging. But there's another major driver most doctors never talk about: your total toxic load. Every day, we're exposed to chemicals in our food, water, air, and everyday products. Over time, that burden can disrupt hormones, damage mitochondria, drive inflammation, and overwhelm your body's natural detox systems. This episode isn't about fear—it's about clarity. Because your body already knows how to detox. You just have to lower the load and support the system. In today's Office Hours, I break down: • How environmental toxins disrupt hormones, metabolism, brain function, and immunity • The biggest everyday sources of exposure—and the highest-impact swaps you can make • How to support your body's built-in detox pathways through food, fiber, hydration, and sweating • Simple, realistic steps to lower your toxic load without extreme cleanses or perfection This isn't about living toxin-free. It's about living toxin-smart. Visit https://www.functionhealth.com/ for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.
