In this episode, we'll hear useful facts and tips from transplant nephrologist Dr. Mariana Markell, as well as personal stories from Cari Maxwell and Katie Reed, two mothers living with kidney disease.   In this episode, you'll hear from: Dr. Mariana Markell  Dr. Markell is a graduate of Yale University and New York Medical College and received her Residency and Fellowship training at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital and UCLA Medical Center. At SUNY Downstate she has served as the Director of Inpatient Dialysis and created the first Transplant Nephrology Fellowship Program in New York City. She currently continues to care for general and transplant nephrology patients while serving at the Medical Director of Kidney Transplantation. Her research interests include the impact of social determinants of health and issues in women's health in the person with kidney disease. Katie Reed Katie Reed has autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial MUC1 kidney disease (ADTKD-MUC1) and is a recent recipient of a successful kidney transplant. Katie is a board member for the Rare Kidney Disease Foundation, which focuses on raising awareness of ADTKD, building up the ADTKD community, and advocating for patients and families. Katie and her husband reside in North Carolina and are parents to two young children. In their free time, you can find the Reeds out and about at local parks, watching a thrilling game of preschool-aged soccer, cheering for the Steelers, or taking over Disney World in matching family shirts. Professionally, Katie is a Managing Director with Afton Partners, a consultancy focused on funding policy, governance, and sustainability strategies for education and human services organizations. Cari Maxwell  Cari was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) in 1989. Through healthy living and choices, she managed her disease on her own for many years following the example of her father, who experienced ESRD in the early 1980s. A registered organ donor provided a near-perfect matching kidney to him and that gift of life granted Cari and her family 31 additional years with him before he passed away in October of 2018. Advancements in treatment for PKD patients are very close to Cari's heart, not only for herself but also for her other two siblings and oldest child that are diagnosed with ADPKD and for the likelihood that her two younger children may also be one day. She was fortunate to be able to participate in the clinical trial for the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for PKD – a treatment she still benefits from today. Cari is a member of the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Advocacy Committee, and she champions patient education, early detection, and scientific advancement through patient-oriented clinical research. She hopes that through her commitment to the awareness of chronic kidney diseases, others will take an active role in their health journey through early detection, healthy choices, and becoming a strong voice of advocacy for themselves and others. Cari is a wife and mother to three daughters and works full-time as the Director of Culture & Operations for a growing technology integration firm near Hershey, PA.   For more information on pregnancy and kidney disease, visit https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/pregnancy.

In Artscroll's book, “ From Their Daughters' Hearts, Part 2 , written by Esti Florans, there is a beautiful story about Mrs Miriam Lubling a'h. She was a legend in her time. She was a one person medical referral system, an advocate, a supporter, a fundraiser, and a Hesed machine. She was a dynamo of a woman who would stop at nothing for someone in need. Anyone in the medical field knew her. At the levayah of Mrs. Lubling, a total stranger stood up and insisted on speaking. This is what he shared: “ I came from Israel with a very sick child to Boston Children's Hospital. But the hospital wouldn't admit my child unless I gave them a $14,000 deposit. I asked the Boston Bikur Cholim what to do — and they suggested I call Mrs. Miriam Lubling. “I reached her on her cell phone while she was in a car on the way to NYU. ‘You don't know me, Mrs. Lubling,' I began. ‘But maybe you know someone in Boston Children's Hospital who could help me.' “She asked me, ‘What's the matter?' “So I told her. “She said, ‘How much do you need?' “Again, I told her. “She asked me for the name and number of the person in charge of billing. Fifteen minutes later, they told me that my child was being admitted. “But I was in Boston and she was in New York. I never had a chance to thank her…” The man turned to the aron . “ Mrs. Lubling,” he said, “ Thank you!” The family later found out from the woman driving the car that Mrs. Lubling had called the billing person in Boston and said: “ Do you know who I am? I am on the board of NYU Medical Center in New York City. You can check it out. You take this child in right now and I will be responsible to send you $14,000 within a day! ” She then called four philanthropists, and within one hour, raised the $14,000 she needed. Mrs. Lubling's life's motto, “ You've got to do something to help!” The reason that I like this story is that very often we tell stories of great rabbis and great leaders, but Mrs. Miriam Lubling was a regular housewife who lived in Washington Heights. She lived near Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and started off visiting people. Slowly but surely she saw that there was a need, and she got involved. She wasn't necessarily trained in this field, but she dedicated herself to helping people and she became a legend in her own time. This is just one beautiful story of many, where she said, “ You have to do something to help .” Have a wonderful day.

Hi team! Today's episode is an epic one to listen to if you're interested in improving your performance. I had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Amy Shah, aka the Fasting MD, who focuses on the benefits of fasting and finding a balance between Western and Eastern medicine. Dr. Shah studied at Cornell University for nutrition, Albert Einstein Medical School, Harvard Hospital, and did her fellowship at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. She faced challenges when it came to her interests in how hormones and nutrition affect the body, due to the “lack of basic science.” Dr. Shah felt pressure from the higher-ups in her medical training to not pursue her interests and rather focus on studies that were “more scientific.” She didn't let this stop her. Instead, Dr. Shah decided to start her own practice and build her personal brand to focus on how food, sunlight, circadian rhythm, exercise, sleep and more affect our immune system and gut health. I am big on this. Dr. Shah is someone who values western medicine but also sees the benefits of ayurvedic and eastern medicine when it comes to finding ways to optimize our performance and make us happier. Dr. Shah recently released her new book I'm So F'ing Tired which dives into how she optimizes her health and provides tactile steps for you to do the same. In this episode we specifically discuss:How to fastWhat is circadian rhythm fasting?Is fasting a good way to lose weight?Should women fast?Is fasting bad for women's hormones?Is it good to work out fasted in the mornings?What are the benefits of intermittent fasting?The benefits of natural lightWhat are the benefits of natural light?Is natural sunlight good for you?What are the health benefits of natural light?The health effects of stressHow stress affects healthWhat is hormetic stress?How stress becomes burnoutDr. Amy Shah has been discovering an amazing and simple way to optimize your health and be happy. She is huge on energy and places maintaining positive energy right at the top of her priorities.

We're talking about Books That Make You Learn to Love. And How to Heal Your Disappointing Love Life Love is the one thing we need and desire, and yet it's so elusive. Even if we're fortunate enough to find “true love”, maintaining that relationship can be a whole ‘nuther story. In America, the divorce rate has held at a steady 50% for decades. Of those who remain married, a significant percentage are still unhappy or unfulfilled. More people are postponing or forgoing marriage. Is there a way for Americans to find love and to maintain a happy, committed relationship? Dr. Thomas Jordan, in his new book, unequivocally says yes…but only if we are willing to examine our past relationships, and learn to take a new approach to love. The book is called “Learn To Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life.” Dr. Jordan has spent three decades as a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. He has worked with the NYC Department of Correction, Communication Workers Association, the company Verizon, the New York Police Department, Con Edison, the United Nations, and Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Stephanie Paula Dluzneski was born and raised in New York City. She studied to become a registered nurse and specialized in Pediatrics/Neonatal nursing at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Stephanie and her husband John decided to relocate to Florida due to her husband’s work. She still maintained her nursing career working in Pediatrics in Orlando, Florida. Stephanie became pregnant in Orlando with the first of 3 boys who now range in age from 23 to 33 years old. Stephanie over the years has worked at various nursing positions. She started the nursing clinic at the newly opened Island Village Montessori School in Venice, Florida, which allowed her to also be closer to her children. Stephanie had various other jobs with nursing part-time, but something seemed to be missing. When her eldest sons were away at college, she decided to try a new, more fulfilling career path. Stephanie had always struggled with her weight fluctuations throughout her life. She was a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and attended meetings religiously. She also tried many other diet and wellness plans which did not work for her. After a chance encounter with an Optavia coach at a Sarasota Crew meet, she decided to start their program. Stephanie actually lost 30 pounds while on this plan; she fell in love with the program and the new way she felt. She decided to share this precious gift with others that were also struggling with health and weight issues. Stephanie has become a successful Optavia coach and has kept her own weight off for 9 years. She now spends full time helping others achieve their health goals. She now also belongs to a team of health coaches whose mission is to bring an end to the obesity crisis facing America. Stephanie in her spare time loves to knit and needlepoint. Stephanie most importantly is extremely passionate about helping others be the best version of themselves that they can be.

His fundamental work on the CD40-Ligand (CD154) elucidated the molecular basis of T cell helper function and has led to the development of therapeutic candidates for autoimmune diseases and organ transplant rejection in collaboration with Biogen and UCB. The successful defense of his CD154 patents has led to important precedents in defining the relationship of therapeutics and molecular targets. In collaboration with Prof. David Baltimore (then at Rockefeller University and later MIT), Dr. Lederman identified and functionally characterized the CD40 signaling molecule, TRAF-3. His early work on HIV contributed to the understanding of how the V3 loop of HIV gp120 was involved in fusion with CD4 cell membranes, an early and essential event in viral entry and infection. In addition to his research, Dr. Lederman served as attending physician in the Edward Daniels Arthritis and Autoimmunity Clinic on the Medical Service at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital from 1988-1996. Dr. Lederman represented U.S. Biotechnology at a Beijing Summit in September 2015 with China’s President Xi Jinping. The Summit was organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and involved a delegation of U.S. CEOs, former U.S. Cabinet officials and leading academic experts. Dr. Lederman earned an AB from Princeton in Chemistry cum laude in 1979 and an MD from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1983. Dr. Lederman trained in internal medicine and rheumatology at Columbia's Presbyterian Hospital. He was an NIH Physician-Scientist 1985-1990 at Columbia.

Kathleen Mullin Bio: Kathleen Mullin, M.D., is the Medical Director for Clinical Research at the New England Institute for Clinical Research and the Associate Medical Director at the New England Institute for Neurology and Headache (NEINH). Dr. Mullin is board-certified in neurology and headache medicine and after graduating from Tufts University and New York University School of Medicine, she completed her residency training at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, followed by a fellowship in Headache Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center. Prior to joining NEINH, Dr. Mullin was the Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Montefiore.  She was also Director of Clinical Trials, overseeing a busy clinical trials program. She has been a principle and a sub-investigator on numerous studies, with her work being published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national meetings. Newer migraine medications are designed to address a different arm of the pain source than traditional triptan therapy, an approach not usable by patients with vascular issues. Dr. Mullin explains How this medication works by blocking CRPG receptors and why that makes a difference What exactly defines a medication as being effective and how Nurtec™ fits the definition, and How to let your doctor know about these newer medications. Kathleen Mullin, MD, is the Medical Director of the New England Institute for Clinical Research (NEICR) in Stamford and specializes in headache medicine. A neurologist by training, she continued working in headache medicine after a fellowship following medical school and has never looked back. She is a clinician who also helps companies run migraine medication trails on her patient population and has found a very effective new medication that's now FDA approved: Nurtec™. She explains how this works differently than the common triptan line of medicines, which work to decrease inflammation through vascular shrinking. However, any patient with a vascular condition of any sort is not able to take these medicines. She explains how the migraine medication Nurtec™ binds with CGRP receptors; GCRP is a neuropeptide that we all have in our bodies. Migraine sufferers have an increased amount of them and blocking their ability to bind blocks their ability to cause pain. Therefore, medications that work this way are called CGRP antagonists.  She discusses the success patients have had with this who haven't found relief with any other medication She adds that headaches are wildly underdiagnosed and urges listeners to seek out medical help if they suffer from headaches. She says that if you ever had a headache that made you feel you had to cancel something, you probably had a migraine—so go to the doctor, she advises.

Can changes in your psychology create physical symptoms? Is there such a thing as "non-disease"? In this utterly compelling episode, a true medical detective - Dr. Clifton Meador - explains how he came to understand that some symptoms and diseases emerge from the "life narrative" of the patient. If a doctor listens hard enough, the patient will often volunteer the reasons for his or her health struggles. He asserts that all patients should consider their diet, chemical exposures and stress levels, and partner with their doctor in a "medical detective" team in order to uncover the root causes of symptoms and illness. Dr Meador says: "I came to fully understand that the mind and the body were one – not separated, not disconnected. What affected one also affected the other. Sitting above all the molecules, tissues, organs, and mind of the human body was an integrated person. This person was connected to a family and perhaps to a spouse, and the family was connected to some social structure and society at large. All this social structure impinged on the person, and the person impinged on the social structure. There was a continuum all the way from society to the person to the organs and even down to the molecules. There were no separated pockets or islands. There certainly was no mind separated from a body. " ---------- Dr. Clifton K. Meador Biography Dr Clifton K Meador has been practising and teaching medicine for over 60 years. He has written fifteen books and published articles in esteemed medical journals such as NEJM. Fascinated by patients with symptoms of hidden origin and by patients who carried diagnoses of non-existent diseases, he recorded his experiences in his books Symptoms of Unknown Origin, Puzzling Symptoms and Fascionomas – fascinating medical mysteries. A Graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1955, Dr. Meador trained at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and Vanderbilt Medical School where he completed a National Institutes for Health fellowship in Endocrinology. After practicing medicine, he joined the faculty of medicine at UAB, where he was Professor of Medicine and then Dean of the University of Alabama School of Medicine at UAB from 1968 – 1973. He returned to Vanderbilt and St. Thomas Hospital, serving as chief of medicine and chief medical officer of Saint Thomas from 1973 to 1998. He then served as the first Executive Director of the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance from 1999 to 2012. He is professor of Medicine Emeritus at both Vanderbilt School of Medicine and Meharry Medical College. Dr. Meador lives in Nashville, TN. His wife Ann Cowden, is a well-known portrait artist. He is father of seven children, seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
