Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency.  Today's story is a memoir about Mr. Yang (Yang Zhenning), an elderly man who loved driving well into his eighties, and the writer (his wife) who eventually took over behind the wheel. It's full of small, vivid moments: driving on the wrong side of the road in Hong Kong, an air conditioner that died mid-mountain on a sweltering day, a terrifying near-miss on the edge of a cliff on Tai Mo Shan, and a stubborn old man who never seemed to worry about any of it. But underneath the close calls and the laughs, there's something quieter going on — about getting older, about who takes the wheel when, and about the simple joy of exploring the hills and trails of Hong Kong together. It's a story about adventure, trust, and the kind of memories that get funnier the longer you carry them. - Rui & Simeng ************************************************************ Support Our Podcast Support Our Podcast → https://www.patreon.com/learningchinesethroughstories If our podcast brings value to your life and you'd like to help us keep creating great content, consider becoming a patron for as little as $9 a month.

Using Mark 9 as a primary text, Bern explains that these spirits are not merely biological conditions but spirit persons within the kingdom of darkness whose goal is to carry out Satan's ministry of killing, stealing, and destroying. He observes that while symptoms like seizures, muteness, and deafness appear as medical issues, Jesus consistently addressed the spirit person behind the infirmity rather than the physical ailment alone.The manifestations of this spirit are often violent, involving convulsions, foaming at the mouth, grinding of teeth, and the victim being dashed to the ground. Bern notes that this spirit can drive individuals toward self-destruction, such as being thrown into fire or water, which may be mistaken for suicidal intent. Beyond physical symptoms, Bern links the deaf and dumb spirit to mental illness and states that its legal ground is often found in the "works of the flesh" or generational curses. He also warns against religious legalism—which he terms "Phariseism"—explaining that a hardened heart and establishing one's own righteousness can lead to resisting or even blaspheming the Holy Spirit.For a complete remedy, Bern outlines that binding, loosing, and casting out the spirit must be combined with prayer, fasting, and the ministry of impartation. He emphasizes that after a spirit is expelled, it is essential to impart "resurrection life" and healing to the individual to restore areas the spirit targeted, such as the brain and hearing. Bern highlights the use of "prayer cloths" as a scriptural point of contact for the anointing to destroy bondages, drawing from the example of the woman who touched Jesus' garment and Paul's use of handkerchiefs. Ultimately, Bern counsels that while medicine has its place, believers should follow the leading of the Holy Spirit regarding their healing and the cessation of medication.Bible Scriptures Referenced: Mark 9:17–29 Matthew 12:22 Matthew 9:32–34 John 3 Matthew 15:30–31 John 4:24 Luke 11:14 John 10:10 Mark 11:23–24 Isaiah 35:4–6 Luke 9:42 Mark 5:5 Matthew 17:15 Matthew 18:18 Romans 8:11 Romans 7 2 Corinthians 1:9–10 Proverbs 18:21 Isaiah 26 Acts 19:11–12 Ezekiel (Standing in the Gap)

Why do certain health concerns seem to appear again and again within the same family?In this episode of the Solex Podcast, we explore the homeopathic concept of miasms and how they appear within the Comprehensive reports in AO Scan. The conversation looks at the idea that patterns connected to previous generations may show up energetically within a family line, and how practitioners use that information as one more place to begin asking questions.The episode walks through several traditional miasm categories, the kinds of patterns homeopathic practitioners associate with them, and where users can find this information inside AO Scan. It also covers ways people may choose to explore those results through Inner Voice, MindSync, Vitals, Body Systems, playlists, lifestyle reflection, and the homeo-energetics tools available within SEFI.This is not a conversation about predicting disease or assuming that family history determines your future. It is about noticing patterns, looking more closely at the information available, and considering how daily choices, stress, environment, emotions, and family history may all play a role in the larger wellness picture.Whether you are already familiar with miasms or have never heard the word before, this episode offers an introduction to the concept and a practical look at where it fits within AO Scan.These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. AO Scan is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Many people think they have a financial plan because they have a 401(k), IRA, brokerage account, or pension, but having accounts is not the same as having a coordinated strategy. In this episode, we explore what comprehensive financial planning really means and why the way your investments, taxes, cash flow, insurance, and estate plan work together matters far more than any single financial decision. You'll learn why goals should drive your plan, why cash flow is the foundation of long term success, and why investment returns alone won't determine your financial future. Whether you're preparing for retirement or simply trying to make smarter financial decisions, this conversation will help you identify the difference between having scattered pieces and having a clear, intentional plan that supports the life you want.

This spirit operates through deception and is behind practices such as fortune-telling, astrology, and sorcery. Even secular entertainment like stage magic is viewed as a form of deception because it does not align with God's truth. Furthermore, the spirit is linked to rebellion and stubbornness, which the Bible equates to the sins of witchcraft and idolatry.Modern manifestations of this spirit extend into cultural and technological realms, including the illicit use of drugs, which is linked to the Greek term pharmarmacia. The message warns that many common items—such as horoscopes, tarot cards, Ouija boards, and even specific movies and toys like Star Wars, Pokemon, or Disney films—can serve as "points of contact" for the spirit of divination. These media forms are said to invoke the imagination to displace God with themes of occult power and control, effectively desensitizing people to the demonic.The remedy for the spirit of divination is found in submission to the Holy Spirit and the exercise of spiritual gifts, particularly the gift of discernment. While familiar spirits may sometimes speak the truth to deceive, they are ultimately part of a network of seducing spirits that lead people away from God. Believers are encouraged to seek the witness and guidance of the Holy Spirit rather than personal might or power, relying on God's word to recognize and reject the counterfeits of the enemy.Bible Scriptures Referenced: Acts 16:16 1 Samuel 15:23 Galatians 5:19-21 Revelation 9:21 Revelation 18:23 Revelation 21:8 Revelation 22:14-15 Hosea 4:12 Isaiah (consulting God vs. mediums) Ecclesiastes (three-fold cord) Exodus 7:11 Exodus 8:7 Luke 10:19 Exodus 9:11 1 Samuel (Witch of Endor) Isaiah (sins cast into the sea of forgetfulness) Daniel (God of forces) Revelation 9 (vampire locusts/abyss) Zechariah 4:6 (not by might nor power)

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, reproductive endocrinologist and author of The Lucky Egg, for a conversation that covers everything you wish someone had told you sooner about your fertility. Dr. Lucky shares her own personal journey through fertility preservation and secondary infertility, what she witnessed training as a fertility doctor that made her completely rethink the timeline she had planned for herself, and why she wrote what she calls a fertility bible for anyone who wants to make smarter, more informed decisions about their reproductive health. They get into the biological clock, insulin resistance, egg quality, what lifestyle actually does and does not affect your fertility, and why the idea that you can always just do IVF is more complicated than most people think.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocesspodFollow Dr. Lucky Sekhon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucky.sekhon/?hl=enFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Use code WELLNESS at monarch.com for 50% off your first year.Visit https://newzealandhoneyco.com/ and use code wellness at checkout for 20% off your first purchaseIf you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

The spirit of python, also known in the Bible as the spirit of divination, is a demonic force named after the Greek word puthon, which refers to a python snake. This spirit operates by gradual constriction rather than a direct, singular attack, wrapping itself around a person's life and tightening its grip every time they "exhale" or try to move forward. Its primary goal is to squeeze the lifeblood, vitality, and spiritual air out of individuals, families, and church congregations until they can no longer survive. This spirit frequently utilizes physical props such as tarot cards, tea leaves, or Ouija boards and works in close coordination with seducing and beguiling spirits. While seducing spirits weave a "web of sin" to entrap a person, beguiling spirits charm and entertain the victim to lower their defenses, allowing the python spirit to move in and begin its suffocating influence on their health, finances, and joy.A central biblical example of this operation is the slave girl in the Book of Acts who followed the Apostle Paul, using a mixture of truth and flattery to gain legitimacy. Although she spoke accurately about Paul's mission, the spirit behind her was attempting to jockey the believers into a state of spiritual pride. The sources clarify that when such spirits "tell the future," they are not revealing God's sovereign plan but are instead disclosing "Satan's blueprint" or plot for that person's life. God expresses severe disapproval of these practices, equating divination with rebellion and insubordination against His authority. Seeking guidance from demonic sources through astrology or mediums provokes the Lord to anger because He intends to be the exclusive source of truth and direction for His people. The Bible warns that the end result for those who practice such sorceries without repentance is the "second death" in the lake of fire.Modern manifestations of the spirit of divination include astrology, horoscopes, and "enchantments," which are defined as influences that induce a passivity of mind. This state of passivity can be triggered by things like secular music, hypnotism, or transcendental meditation, opening the individual's soul and imagination to occult influences. Historical observations during spiritual revivals suggest that counterfeit demonic gifts often follow genuine moves of the Holy Spirit specifically when believers become mentally or physically passive. Additionally, related influences like "psychic vampirism," which causes chronic fatigue and emotional draining, and the "Lilith spirit," which manifests through rebellion and modern cultural idols. Recognizing these subtle operations is vital for applying godly judgment and taking decisive action to protect the spiritual life of the family and the church.Bible Scriptures Referenced: Acts 16:16-18, Micah 5:12, Isaiah 2:6, Isaiah 8:19, 2 Kings 17:17, Exodus 22:18, Jeremiah 27:9-10, Revelation 21:8, 1 Samuel 15:23, Isaiah 47:13, Leviticus 19:26, Jeremiah 10:2, Deuteronomy 18:10-11.

George Black, guest author, describes how, in the late 1990s, the Canadian organization Hatfield Associates collaborated with the Vietnamese 1080 Committee to conduct a comprehensive study of dioxin contamination. They chose the A Shau Valley as a study site because its lack of industrialization proved that any dioxin found must have originated from Agent Orange. The study revealed that while dioxin had degraded in most soil, it remained highly concentrated in hotspots around old US military bases where chemicals were stored or leaked. These hotspots, such as the airbases at Da Nang and Bien Hoa, allowed dioxin to enter the food chain through fish and ducks. Most tragically, the study mapped how dioxin was passed from mothers to infants through breast milk. These findings made the truth of the contamination impossible to evade, though it still took several years for the first US aid to arrive. Additionally, Susan Hammond began investigating the "deep secret" of herbicide use in Laos, mapping patterns of disability in villages along former flight paths. Her work eventually led to the first-ever humanitarian aid program for Lao victims of Agent Orange in 2023. The Long Reckoning (7)

BUFFALO, NY — July 6, 2026 — A new systematic #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on June 18, 2026, titled “Life expectancy and causes of death in classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes: systematic review with individual-patient data synthesis.” The study was led by co-first authors Carlos López-Vila, Manuel García-Cordeiro, and Luís Estévez-Martínez from the University of Santiago de Compostela, and corresponding author David Araújo-Vilar from the University of Santiago de Compostela and the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes are among the rarest inherited disorders known. Caused by mutations affecting the LMNA gene or the ZMPSTE24 enzyme, these conditions lead to premature aging, severe multisystem disease, and markedly shortened life expectancy. Although Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD), and restrictive dermopathy (RD) all belong to this group, reliable information about survival and causes of death for each disorder has remained limited because most published reports describe only individual patients or small case series. In this study, researchers performed a comprehensive systematic review and individual-patient data analysis to date of classical laminopathic progeroid syndromes. Following PRISMA guidelines, they analyzed data from 169 published studies together with two additional genetically confirmed institutional cases, creating a cohort of 158 genetically confirmed patients for the primary survival analysis. By examining individual patient records rather than pooled summaries, the investigators were able to compare survival patterns and causes of death across each disease subtype with greater precision.

Inside today's featured replay interview, I get into the broader conversation on metabolic health and why I treat calories and hormones as inseparable rather than opposing camps, what a comprehensive lab panel should actually include, and how to think about the testosterone conversation without overreacting. I cover the role of leptin, ghrelin, and GLP-1 in appetite regulation, the homeostatic and hedonic eating systems, and why the people playing macro Tetris while feeling like trash and the people eating Whole30 without the body they want are both missing the same thing. Topics discussed: - The Calories vs Hormones Debate- Leptin, Ghrelin, and GLP-1 in Appetite- Macros as a Tool for a Season- The Full Thyroid and Reproductive Panel- Cardiovascular Markers Beyond Standard Lipids- Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Family History- Why Testosterone Has Declined Since the 1980s- Western Range vs Functional Range- Benchmarking Labs Before You Need Them- The TRT Decision Framework and Fertility---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Researchers followed nearly the entire Swedish population under age 80 from 2020 through 2023 and found that while SARS-CoV-2 infection was linked to a temporary rise in new type 1 diabetes diagnoses, the risk declined over time. The study also found no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination increases the long-term risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Vaccination did not significantly change the relationship between COVID-19 infection and diabetes risk, and any small increase in diagnoses seen among adults shortly after a first vaccine dose was not seen after later doses or during longer follow-up. The researchers concluded that their findings do not support changing current COVID-19 vaccination recommendations because of concerns about type 1 diabetes risk. https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/news/covid19-infection-may-increase-short-term-type-1-diabetes-risk/ XX Two new studies are challenging the traditional view that type 1 diabetes develops solely because the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells. Researchers from Indiana University found evidence that beta cells themselves may play an active role in determining whether they survive or succumb to the stresses that lead to type 1 diabetes. In the first study, scientists discovered that some healthy human beta cells can quickly activate an antiviral defense system when exposed to interferon-alpha, an immune signal often produced during viral infections. This response relies on molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are usually associated with cell damage but, in this case, appeared to help switch on protective antiviral genes. Researchers found this defense program in healthy cells and in people at risk for type 1 diabetes, but not in beta cells from people who already had the disease. The findings suggest that losing this built-in defense mechanism may make beta cells more vulnerable during the development of type 1 diabetes. The second study focused on autophagy, the process cells use to recycle damaged or worn-out components. Using a new imaging technique, researchers observed that beta cells in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes showed defects in autophagy before blood sugar levels began to rise and even before a full immune attack was underway. This suggests that problems inside the beta cells may occur early in the disease process rather than being caused entirely by the immune system. Together, the studies point to a more complex picture of type 1 diabetes. While they do not show that beta-cell defects cause the disease, they suggest that differences in how beta cells respond to stress, viral signals, and cellular damage may influence who develops type 1 diabetes and how the disease progresses. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-beta-cells-players-diabetes.html XX Researchers have created the most detailed map yet of how the human pancreas develops during childhood, offering new clues about why children are especially vulnerable to developing diabetes. The study, published in Nature Communications, examined pancreatic tissue from 123 children without diabetes, ranging from newborns through age 10. Using advanced imaging techniques, scientists tracked how insulin-producing islet cells grow and mature during the first decade of life. The researchers found that pancreas size varies dramatically at birth, with some infants having pancreases nearly four times larger than others. They also discovered that insulin-producing beta cells grow more slowly after birth than previously thought, suggesting that much of a person's lifelong beta cell capacity may be established before birth and during early childhood. Other findings showed that insulin-producing cells mature earlier than glucagon-producing cells and that new hormone-producing cells may continue to form after birth. The researchers hope this new understanding of pancreas development will help scientists identify diabetes risk earlier and develop better strategies for prevention and treatment in children. https://news.vumc.org/2026/06/29/unlocking-diabetes-secrets-pediatric-organ-donors-help-map-a-path-to-a-cure-and-prevention/   XX At the American Diabetes Association annual meeting, 2-year results from the SUPPRESS-EARLY trial showed that initiating tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) early in the course of type 2 diabetes led to substantially higher rates of near-normal glycemic control and also led to broader metabolic improvements compared with intensive conventional therapy.   In this MedPage Today video, investigator Stefano Del Prato, MD, of the University of Pisa in Italy, discusses the findings.     Following is a transcript of his remarks:   What happened is that in the tirzepatide-treated arm, 85% of the population at the end of the second year was on the maximum dose of tirzepatide 15 mg. And then the remaining 15 with the different doses.   Interestingly, in the population that had been treated with the intensive conventional approach, 85% of them ended up to have, on top of metformin, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mainly represented by subcutaneous semaglutide [Ozempic, Wegovy], 60+%, another 15% on oral semaglutide [Rybelsus], and the remaining on dulaglutide [Trulicity].   And I have to say that maybe the recommendation to really push along the line to try to achieve and to strive to achieve [glycemic] control was successful in these individuals. Because the population that had been recruited in the study started off with a baseline A1C of 7.8% and it went down to 6.3% in the conventionally intensive treatment, which is not bad at all, on average is below the target of 6.5%.     However, when we look at the effect of tirzepatide, the final level of A1C at the end of the second year was 5.6%, which is on average below the upper limit of the normal range for A1C, 5.7%. This also translates into more people not only achieving normal glycemia, if we can define normal glycemia as A1C below 5.7%, greater than what we observed in conventionally treated individuals. So it was around three times more people achieving an A1C of 5.7%, in the range of around 65%, as compared to 28% with people on a conventional optimized treatment.   Now, this is not surprising knowing the potency of tirzepatide. But again, going back to the rationale of the design, can we change what is the natural history of the disease? This seems to be at least of interest and it's possibly changing the trajectory of the disease for glycemic control, as I mentioned, but also in terms of the body weight and waist circumference because both body weight and waist circumference went much lower with tirzepatide compared to the conventional treatment.   Tirzepatide also was associated with an improvement in the lipid profile, in particular with the LDL, triglycerides, and the triglyceride concentration and non-HDL cholesterol, and also with a statistically significantly lower systolic blood pressure with a numerical reduction in the diastolic blood pressure.   And also the other thing that probably will ... become more apparent with the study continuing is that the investigators were allowed to add on any other treatment ... needed to achieve their target. So tirzepatide was just metformin and tirzepatide. In the control group, there was already 10% of people who were receiving two drugs on top of the metformin.   So another potential result of the trial is that it's possible to achieve and maintain better glycemic or better metabolic control over the time without really needing to increase the number of medications in order to achieve that goal. And we know that type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition often requiring intensification of the treatment.   So these initial results really stand for a great opportunity with tirzepatide. Of course, we need to wait for the 4 years just to confirm that this is indeed the case, but the initial result seems to point along that line. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/adavideopearls/121967 XX A study from the University of Virginia found that high blood pressure is extremely common among people with diabetes, even among those who believe their blood pressure is under control. Researchers measured blood pressure in 172 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes during routine eye clinic visits and found that only 8% had normal readings. About half had stage 2 hypertension, and more than 10% had blood pressure levels high enough to be considered a medical emergency. The study also revealed that many patients were unaware of how serious their blood pressure problems were. Among those who thought their hypertension was well controlled, more than half still had stage 2 hypertension. Nearly 60% of participants were advised to contact their primary care provider, and one patient required an emergency department referral. Most patients supported blood pressure screening during eye exams, leading researchers to suggest that routine blood pressure checks in ophthalmology clinics could help identify undiagnosed or poorly controlled hypertension before it leads to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, or worsening diabetic eye disease. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-routine-eye-exams-reveal-stage.html XX What is going on with retatrutide? This is the next generation GLP-1 but it's not authorized outside of clinical trials. Big investigation by CBS shows retatrutide is for sale all over the internet, a phenomenon they say has no modern precedent. CBS News identified more than 120 websites selling or promoting retatrutide, including more than 50 clinics staffed by licensed medical professionals. After being contacted by CBS News, at least 21 clinics abruptly removed retatrutide from their websites or changed the language to state they don't offer it. Others defended prescribing it, saying they're confident enough in results from clinical trials sponsored by drugmaker Eli Lilly that they didn't need to wait for the FDA's independent, rigorous review. An FDA spokesperson said retatrutide "has not been found safe or effective for any condition," adding that it "cannot be manufactured or distributed except for investigational use." The Justice Department is prosecuting two cases – in Utah and Florida – involving the sale and prescription of retatrutide. But the first line of enforcement is often at the state level. Ohio's Board of Pharmacy has taken action against several pharmacies and clinics providing retatrutide, and just last month, Alabama's Medical Board warned physicians against prescribing research-grade medications. The FDA has sent 14 warning letters to companies that have advertised retatrutide since 2024. Of these, at least six have continued to offer it online, including a business called Pink Pony Peptides. A TikTok account associated with the firm responded to the warning in April by taunting the FDA, boasting that the business "just had the best 24 hours ever." In May, Eli Lilly announced that participants in a large clinical trial taking the highest dose of retatrutide lost an average of 28% of their body weight over 80 weeks. Side effects – including nausea, diarrhea, constipation and vomiting – were comparable to similar therapies, the company said. "Anyone purporting to sell retatrutide to consumers is breaking the law," an Eli Lilly spokesperson said https://www.cbsnews.com/projects/2026/experimental-weight-loss-drug/ XX Pioneering research has developed a new way of creating carbohydrate-based medicines, which could ultimately replace costly drugs for common health conditions, using two cheap basic ingredients – table sugar and vinegar. These medications include SGLT2 inhibitors, widely prescribed drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Co-lead author Professor Phil Baran, Dr. Richard A. Lerner Endowed Chair at Scripps Research, in San Diego, California, said: "The point of this is to show that anyone in a garage can make an SGLT2 inhibitor with reagents that are widely available. We have not patented this method, so we welcome any generic drug company – or anyone else – who wants to use it to help bring costs down for patients." https://www.newswise.com/articles/new-study-shows-table-sugar-could-hold-a-cheaper-quicker-key-to-making-vital-drugs-for-diabetes-heart-failure-and-chronic-kidney-disease XX England and Wales approve teplizumab to slow progression of T1D. At the moment, the Scottish Medicines Consortium does not have an appraisal of Tzield on the go, so, there is likely to be a disparity in access within the UK for the time being. In Northern Ireland, access will depend on a review and adoption of NICE guidance.  Sanofi is expecting to see an uptick in momentum thanks to two subsequent FDA approvals, one in children as young as one with stage 2 T1D, and a second to delay the decline in endogenous insulin production in children aged eight to 17 years recently diagnosed with stage 3 T1D. btw you might here more people referring to stage 4 diabetes. They've added that to include people diagnosed with type 1 who've been on insulin for a longer period of time – basically long enough to not be eligible for the current guidelines for Tzield. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8mzd94r76oXX XX Obesity Association, a division of the American Diabetes Association® (the association), announced the next section in the Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity, "Screening, Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Staging of Obesity in Adults," published in Diabetes, Obesity, and CardioMetabolic CARE® and BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.  Key highlights of the guidance: Early screening: Annual BMI screening with emphasis on tracking weight trends to identify risk earlier, including a longitudinal life-event weight graph tool for standardized assessment. Enhanced diagnosis: Combines BMI with waist measurements and population-specific thresholds to improve accuracy. Notably, the guidelines recommend that BMI in the overweight range together with central adiposity measurements warrant a formal obesity diagnosis. Comprehensive evaluation: Holistic assessment including medical, behavioral, and social factors. Offers a fully integrated obesity diagnostic algorithm. Risk stratification: Use of tools like the Edmonton Obesity Staging System to guide care. Chronic care approach: Ongoing monitoring and follow-up to support long-term management. Reducing bias: Promotes person-centered, non-stigmatizing care and system-level improvements at the clinical workflow level and encourages screening for prior weight bias/stigma experiences. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-standards-of-care-in-overweight-and-obesity-section-screening-diagnosis-evaluation-and-staging-of-obesity-in-adults-302809670.html XX Dexcom (Nadsaq:DXCM) today announced the launch of its fully reimagined Stelo over-the-counter (OTC) sensor app experience. San Diego-based Dexcom plans to formally begin the new app rollout in July for Apple iPhone and Android users in the U.S. Dexcom said its reimagined app aims to make glucose insights easier to understand and act on. It hopes to help build awareness of how food, activity, sleep and stress influence overall wellbeing.   The company also reiterated plans to launch Stelo internationally. It expects to bring the sensor to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea later this year, continuing into 2027. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-launches-enhanced-stelo-app/ XX MannKind Corporation recently announced it received a grant from Breakthrough T1D to support the INHALE-1 clinical study of Afrezza, its ultra rapid-acting inhaled insulin, in newly diagnosed pediatric type 1 diabetes patients aged 10 to under 18 years. This external funding for a trial focused on early use of Afrezza in children highlights growing third-party support for inhaled insulin in pediatric diabetes care. https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/pharmaceuticals-biotech/nasdaq-mnkd/mannkind/news/afrezza-pediatric-trial-grant-might-change-the-case-for-inve XX Alexander Zverev heads into Wimbledon with plenty of momentum. The French Open champion returns to the All England Club looking to build on his first Grand Slam title and gain ground on Carlos Alcaraz in the race for the No. 2 spot in the ATP rankings. Zverev has an opportunity to make up points quickly after a first-round exit at Wimbledon last year. But his final tune-up before Wimbledon came with an unexpected challenge. During his semifinal loss to Taylor Fritz at the Halle Open, Zverev said a malfunctioning glucose sensor led to serious diabetes management issues on court. The sensor incorrectly showed his blood sugar was high when it was actually low, causing him to take more insulin than needed. "I had huge problems with the sugar because the sensor I use gave me a completely incorrect reading," Zverev said after the match. "During the match, or rather during the first 45 minutes, I had to consume about 350 grams of sugar. I felt absolutely terrible." Despite feeling unwell, Zverev pushed the match to three sets before falling 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5 to Fritz. He credited his opponent with playing the better match and said the diabetes-related issue was not an excuse for the result. Zverev, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4, uses Medtronic diabetes technology to help manage his glucose levels while competing on the ATP Tour. He said the sensor error was the first major problem he has experienced after nearly a decade of using the technology. The German said the incident should not affect his Wimbledon preparations. With the sensor issue behind him, Zverev will begin his Wimbledon campaign focused on adding another strong result to what has already been a breakthrough season.   https://www.reuters.com/sports/tennis/zverev-says-glucose-sensor-malfunction-affected-halle-semi-final-loss-fritz-2026-06-21/

After listening to Dr. Chris Wolfe's discussion on the dangers of becoming a specialist at the expense of comprehensive care, Aaron explores a different challenge facing optometry: the reluctance to embrace sales. Drawing on Daniel Pink's To Sell Is Human, he argues that ethical selling is simply helping patients trade time, money, effort, and trust for a better outcome. Through real-world examples, from contact lenses and IPL to restaurant servers and his own dentist, he explains why conviction, communication, and trust often matter more than clinical knowledge alone, and why becoming a better communicator may be one of the most valuable skills any healthcare professional can develop.

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd discusses his ambition to provide a comprehensive narrative of the Western Front, emphasizing it as a massive coalition war involving multiple empires. He explains his focus on the operational level of senior commanders, aiming to challenge the persistent "lions led by donkeys" myth. By examining the immense pressures and dilemmas faced by leadership, Lloyd hopes to offer a more nuanced and "cooler" perspective on the war's conduct a century later. He reveals that this book is the first in a trilogy, with subsequent volumes planned for the Eastern Frontand the global conflict in the Middle East and Africa. The discussion highlights how events on other fronts, such as Russia or the high seas, constantly influenced decision-making in the decisive Western theater. Ultimately, Lloyd views the Western Front as the place where the war was won or lost by the collision of four great powers: Germany, France, Britain, and America. 11914 CONRAD

We've been taught to treat chronic diseases as isolated problems to be diagnosed and managed. But these conditions may have more in common than conventional medicine has traditionally recognized. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by physician and researcher Dr. Terry Wahls, who transformed her understanding of disease after developing progressive multiple sclerosis. We discuss the emerging science behind mitochondria, inflammation, nutrition, the microbiome, and why creating health may be just as important as treating disease itself. We explore: What Dr. Wahls discovered about cellular health while searching for answers beyond conventional treatment Why mitochondria may play a central role in conditions like MS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and chronic fatigue How food, sleep, movement, and stress directly influence inflammation, energy production, and brain health Why focusing only on symptom suppression may overlook the deeper biological dysfunction driving chronic disease What “creating health” actually looks like in practice—and how small daily habits can influence how you feel and function over time What makes this conversation so compelling is that Dr. Wahls' story challenges many of the assumptions we have about chronic disease and recovery. For me, it really highlights how profoundly nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress can shape the body's ability to adapt and recover over time.

Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency. Today, we're talking about something so many of us can relate to: tossing and turning in the middle of the night. We'll follow the story of Chen Mo. On paper, she has the perfect life—a high-level corporate job, a happy family, and a beautiful home. Even her bosses constantly praise her. Yet, sleep completely evades her. After ruling out all the usual suspects like grief, job insecurity, or family drama, a breakthrough with a therapist reveals a hidden culprit. It turns out, her biggest stressor isn't her actual workload, but her own relentless perfectionism and the exhausting, self-imposed pressure to be flawless. Let's dive into her story, explore this modern dilemma, and learn some great vocabulary along the way! ************************************************************ Support Our Podcast If our podcast brings value to your life and you'd like to help us continue creating great content, consider becoming a patron for as little as $7 a month.
