I am honored to reconnect with Dr. Tracy Gapin today. He is a board-certified urologist and men's health expert.  The current state of metabolic health in the United States and most Westernized countries has sparked a great interest in a GLP1 agonist, AKA Semaglutide Ozempic. I wanted to speak with a clinician who actively uses this medication. Dr. Gapin and I discuss what this drug class represents. (These are synthetic peptides.) We speak about Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, and oral Rybelsus. We get into current research, side effects, who should not take these medications, the mechanisms of action specific to the pancreas and beta cells, reductions, gastric emptying, and the upregulation of satiety. We discuss changes in the brain regarding leptin and how these drugs work. We also talk about weight loss resistance, and I answer questions from listeners.  From my perspective, it all comes back to basics. I believe that if we are to prescribe these medications, we must help our patients understand how lifestyle impacts weight-loss resistance and metabolic health. I loved that Dr. Tracy spent some time talking about the specific ways he works with his patients, even before prescribing medications. He also explains how important he feels this drug has been for his patients. I approached today's conversation with an open mind, and I hope you will do the same. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: GLP1 agonists, and how they help Dr. Tracy motivate his patients to lose weight What are GLP1 agonists, and how do they work? Physical benefits of GLP1 agonists Who is Semaglutide not appropriate for? Common side-effects of GLP1 agonists How those who fail to implement lifestyle changes when they stop using Semaglutide may regain all the weight they lost Hydration while using Semaglutide Protein intake when taking Semaglutide How to follow the metrics that matter Factors that could hinder successful weight loss What Dr. Tracy does to ensure his patients do not regain the weight they lost after they stop using Semaglutide Listener questions: Why is a diabetic drug being used for non-diabetics? Does this drug target muscle versus fat in terms of weight loss? For how long do most patients take it? Are there unique characteristics in perimenopausal and menopausal women that must be accounted for differently? Bio: Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist and a world-renowned expert in men's health and performance, as well as the founder of the Gapin Institute, the global leader in High-Performance Health.  He has over 20 years of experience focused on men's health optimization, human performance, and longevity, providing executives & entrepreneurs a personalized path to fulfill their highest potential. He's been featured in Entrepreneur, Dave Asprey's Biohacking Conference, and as a TEDx speaker.

Federal Judge Brian Murphy—the unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court judge raised to the federal bench on December 6, 2024, a FULL MONTH AFTER the re-election of President Donald J. Trump, was a mere 200 days on the bench when he had the dubious honor to be checked by the US Supreme Court itself on June 24 of this year, when SCOTUS paused the injunction Judge Murphy had issued against Trump's efforts to deport murderers and other violent illegal migrants from our great nation.That SCOTUS check didn't even give Judge Murphy pause, however, as the SAME DAY he issued an order informing the White House that the SCOTUS ruling against him nevertheless left him with the authority to order about the President in the exercise of his core and plenary Article III Executive Branch authority as if Trump were a mere clerk in Judge Murphy's court.Naturally, Trump immediately appealed this lawless judge's order right back to the Supreme court.A mere 9 days later, yesterday, July 3, 2025, SCOTUS was obliged to issue a rare “clarification” of its June 24 order against Judge Murphy, explaining as if to an idiot that their ruling against him was COMPREHENSIVE, and not something around which a judge on the federal bench for a mere 209 days was free to wiggle around. Join me LIVE as I break all this down into plain English, and explain what SHOULD be the consequence for unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal court judge demonstrates such a psychotic intent to unlawfully constrain our elected Article II Executive Branch president in carrying out the will of the American people. Get Your FREE Copy of Our Best-Selling Book: "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"Visit Here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/getthebook"You are wise to buy this material.

Menopause isn't a medical condition requiring endurance—it's a physiological transition that responds to intervention. While the diagnostic criteria demand 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea, waiting a full year to address debilitating symptoms defies clinical logic. When patients present with vasomotor symptoms, mood dysregulation, and menstrual irregularities, laboratory evaluation can provide diagnostic clarity before the arbitrary 12-month mark. The key is recognizing that symptom management doesn't require a completed diagnostic checklist. This episode dissects the diagnostic approach to menopause, examines the cultural mythology that keeps women suffering unnecessarily, and provides evidence-based perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. We'll explore the actual risk-benefit profile of HRT, the cardiovascular and skeletal implications of hormone deficiency, and why decades of misinterpreted data have created widespread HRT phobia. Because apparently, we needed a Women's Health Initiative study to convince everyone that horse urine hormones aren't ideal for human women. Episode Highlights: Clinical definitions and diagnostic nuances of perimenopause versus menopause Laboratory markers and symptom patterns that inform menopause diagnosis The overlooked significance of testosterone assessment in menopausal women How societal expectations perpetuate the "suffer in silence" mentality Deconstructing the HRT fear-mongering that followed flawed research interpretations Evidence-based rebuttal to the estradiol-breast cancer causation myth Comprehensive approach to symptom assessment and therapeutic options Risk-benefit analysis of bioidentical estradiol and progesterone therapy Comparative evaluation of progesterone and estrogen delivery methods Clinical consequences of testosterone deficiency in women Pre-treatment evaluation and contraindications for HRT initiation Role of genetic testing in personalizing hormone replacement protocols Distinguishing natural menopause from surgical menopause management strategies Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health! The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension. As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Etienne Nichols sits down with seasoned MedTech founder and investor Jon Bergsteinsson to unpack a critical—but often overlooked—topic: budgeting in early-stage medical device startups. Drawing from his deep regulatory, clinical, and investment experience, Jon shares the red flags investors look for, the cost categories that founders routinely miss, and why a line item called “compliance” just doesn't cut it. Whether you're a startup founder, a regulatory lead, or a project manager, this episode offers a sharp lens into the financial planning realities that can make or break product development and commercialization in MedTech.Key Timestamps02:34 – Why QMS, regulatory, and clinical are budget afterthoughts for startups06:45 – What separates experienced vs. inexperienced MedTech founders in budgeting10:20 – Why software and compliance tools get left out of early budgets14:12 – How missing budget detail impacts product quality and time-to-market19:04 – Red flags investors look for in MedTech startup budgets23:30 – How to improve budgeting accuracy without a CFO28:10 – Critical cost categories MedTech founders often overlook35:55 – Advice for recovering from a budgeting oversight39:40 – Comprehensive checklist of overlooked line items (manual translation, UDI, ISO licenses, and more)45:00 – Final advice: why networking trumps isolation for smarter budgetingStandout Quotes"Relying on the status quo is never good. There are always ways to do things better."Jon reminds founders and compliance professionals alike that innovation doesn't stop at the product level—it also applies to budgeting, systems, and team empowerment."Getting a 510(k) through is just the starting point. Budgeting like everything ends there is a massive red flag."This quote highlights the investor's perspective on sustainability and long-term thinking—crucial traits in any fundable founder.Key TakeawaysBroad Budget Buckets Signal InexperienceLumping all compliance-related costs under one line item may look tidy but signals to investors a lack of operational depth. Break out line items for QMS, clinical, regulatory, and software tools.Software and Tools Are Not Optional ExtrasFounders must factor in essential systems—like eQMS, CAD, risk management, and clinical data tools—early in budgeting. Assuming a single hire covers everything is a critical mistake.Budgets Must Reflect Time and Scale RealisticallyFlat budgets over 2–3 years, or those that assume regulatory costs end at market clearance, raise red flags. Investors expect dynamic budgeting that reflects the realities of growth, post-market surveillance, and team evolution.Outsourcing ≠ All-InclusiveMany startups underestimate the actual costs tied to consultants and CROs, assuming “someone else is handling it.” Always clarify what's included—and what's not.Recovery Is Possible—If You Own ItIf your budget's off-track, clear communication with your board and investors, a willingness to revise, and a plan for worst-case scenarios are your best tools for regaining credibility.ReferencesJon Bergsteinsson on LinkedInEtienne Nichols on LinkedInGreenlight Guru – QMS and Clinical platform for MedTech companiesMedTech...

In this episode, hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview Professor Gordon Flake, CEO of the Perth USAsia Centre, about South Korea's political transformation following six months of unprecedented turmoil.The discussion centers on South Korea's remarkable democratic resilience after former President Yoon Suk-yeol's shocking martial law declaration in December 2024, which triggered his impeachment and removal from office, and Lee Jae-myeong's subsequent election victory. Flake emphasizes that despite the chaos—including four different acting presidents—South Korea's institutions held firm, demonstrating the strength of its democracy.The new president faces immediate pressure from Trump administration tariffs affecting Korean exports, with the economy shrinking in the first quarter and auto sales to the US down significantly. Flake warns against conflating trade negotiations with alliance burden-sharing discussions.Lee Jae-myeong has already engaged with President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba, signaling continuity in South Korea's internationalist approach despite his progressive background. The episode explores Korea's potential participation in regional frameworks like Quad-Plus and the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership.Tensions are escalating in the Yellow Sea's Provisional Measures Zone, where China has installed aquaculture facilities without coordination with Seoul. This represents a new kinetic challenge similar to South China Sea disputes.Flake highlights opportunities for US-Korea naval cooperation, noting Korean shipbuilders like Hanwha Ocean's acquisition of Philadelphia shipyard and increased stakes in Australian defense contractor Austal.Flake predicts Lee's first 100 days will prioritize economic growth over progressive social policies due to external pressures. His attendance at the G7 meeting represents crucial engagement with like-minded democracies amid regional uncertainty (this episode was recorded before President Lee elected not to attend the G7).The episode provides essential insights into how South Korea's democratic institutions weathered the crisis, while positioning the country as a consequential middle power navigating complex US-China competition and regional security challenges.Follow the podcast on X, @IndoPacPodcast, LinkedIn, or BlueSkyFollow Ray Powell on X, @GordianKnotRay, or LinkedInFollow Jim Carouso on LinkedInProduced by Ian Ellis-Jones and IEJ Media, on X, @ianellisjonesSponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific

In this explosive episode of The Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen dive into five days of pure terror on the high seas. When four armed Somali pirates stormed the Maersk Alabama in 2009, Captain Richard Phillips made a split-second decision that would either save his crew—or cost him his life. What followed was a heart-pounding standoff in a sweltering lifeboat with AK-47-wielding captors, while Navy SEALs prepared for one of the most precise rescue shots in military history. But here's the twist: was Phillips the hero Hollywood portrayed, or did his reckless decisions put everyone in danger? Kaycee and Julie unpack the shocking controversies, the three-bullet rescue that captivated the world, and why Phillips' own crew sued him. Plus, they reveal the terrifying reality of modern piracy—it's bigger, deadlier, and closer to your daily life than you think. 00:00 Introduction to Case Knives 00:30 Exciting News: Disaster Strikes Expands to Patreon 01:21 Meet Your Hosts: Casey and Julie 01:42 Listener Shoutout and Story Request 02:10 The Story of Captain Richard Phillips Begins 06:30 Background on Somali Piracy 12:38 Ruff Greens 13:45 The Pirate Attack on Maersk Alabama 20:55 The Ideal Prisoner Exchange 21:30 Phillips' Lifeboat Ordeal 23:43 Navy to the Rescue 27:08 The Aftermath and Controversy 29:05 Modern Piracy: A Continuing Threat 35:07 The Maersk Alabama's Legacy 37:42 Lessons from Captain Phillips 41:59 Final Thoughts and Listener Engagement Patreon patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us!

In this episode of "Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne," Dr. Brooke invites the illustrious Dr. Carrie Jones to discuss the intricate world of women's health, focusing heavily on hormones and perimenopause. With Dr. Lynne absent for this episode, Dr. Jones thoroughly examines the transitional phase of perimenopause, often referred to as the "perfect storm," and how it impacts women's physical and emotional health as their children leave home and they begin seeking new purposes in life. This episode provides a thoughtful conversation about the roots of hormonal imbalances and how women's experiences during this phase are deeply personal and varied. Dr. Carrie Jones delves into the physiological shifts occurring during perimenopause and menopause, explaining the declining patterns of hormones like progesterone and estrogen. She underscores the importance of understanding these changes, managing stress, maintaining overall wellness, and the potential benefits and misconceptions surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Through a detailed exploration of these themes, the episode empowers women to take proactive steps in their health journey during this pivotal life stage. Dr. Jones also provides valuable insights into the interconnectivity of the body's systems, advocating for a holistic approach to addressing health challenges. Key Takeaways: *Understanding the hormonal roller coaster during perimenopause can empower women to address symptoms of imbalance effectively.Comprehensive health evaluations should include hormone testing and assessments of other health markers like thyroid function and vitamin levels. *Stress management is crucial, as adrenal health plays a significant role in hormonal balance during perimenopause. *Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be a valuable tool for many women, with modern approaches mitigating past concerns about safety. *Maintaining a holistic health approach, including adequate nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction, can improve quality of life and support a smoother transition through menopause.

Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro. Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before and The TRUTH About The Israel-Iran Conflict (A Comprehensive History) Glenn Beck- Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before Ben Shapiro- The TRUTH About The Israel-Iran Conflict (A Comprehensive History)  Why the Iran strikes are UNLIKE ANYTHING we have seen before Israel has begun a series of very precise attacks on Iran.
