People have thoughts and feelings and need information! So I'm very excited you're here. Before we dive into the listener questions, let's establish some big picture framing on how we are going to approach this conversation around perimenopause and menopause.MaraI should start just by introducing myself. I'm a family doctor and I have a very general practice, which means I take care of infants and I have a couple patients who are over 100. It's amazing. And families, which is such an honor, to care for multiple generations of families. So, perimenopause and menopause is one chunk of my practice, but it is not all of it.I come from the perspective of a generalist, right? Lots of my patients have questions about perimenopause and menopause. Many of my patients are women in that age group. And I have been learning a lot over the last couple of years. The science is emerging, and I think a lot of practice patterns amongst doctors have really changed, even in the time that I have been in practice, which is about 10 years. There has been a huge shift in the way we physicians think about menopause and think about perimenopause, which I think is mostly for the better, which is really exciting.There's an increased focus on doctors taking menopause seriously, approaching it with deep care and concern and professionalism. And that is excellent. But this menopause advocacy is taking place in a world that's really steeped in fatphobia and diet culture. Our culture is just so susceptible to corporate influence. There are tons of influencers who call themselves menopause experts selling supplements online, just selling stuff. Sort of cashing in on this. And I will note, a lot of them are medical doctors, too, so it can be really hard to sort through.VirginiaYour instinct is to trust, because you see the MD.MaraTotally. There's a lot of diet talk wrapped up in all of it, and there's a lot of fear-mongering, which I would argue often has fatphobia at its core. It's a fear of fatness, a fear of aging, a fear of our bodies not being ultra thin, ultra sexualized bodies of adolescents or women in their 20s, right? This is all to say that I think it's really exciting that there's an increased cultural focus on women's health, particularly health in midlife. But we also need to be careful about the ways that diet culture sneaks into some of this talk, and who might be profiting from it. So we do have some hearty skepticism, but also some enthusiasm for the culture moving towards taking women's concerns and midlife seriously.VirginiaThe cultural discourse around this is really tricky. Part of why I wanted you to come on to answer listener questions is because you approach healthcare from a weight inclusive lens, which is not every doctor. It is certainly not every doctor in the menopause space. And you're not selling us a supplement line or a weighted vest, so that's really helpful. So that's a good objective place for us to start! Here's our first question, from Julie: It's my understanding that the body naturally puts on weight in menopause, especially around the torso, and that this fat helps to replace declining estrogen, because fat produces estrogen. I don't know where I've heard this, but I think it's true? But I would like to know a doctor's explanation of this, just because I think it's just more evidence that our bodies know what they're doing and we can trust them, and that menopause and the possible related weight gain is nothing to fear or dread or fight.MaraOof, okay, so we are just diving right in. Thank you so much for this question. It's one I get from many of my patients, too. So I looked into some of the literature on this, and it is thought that declining estrogen—which happens in the menopausal transition—does contribute to what we call visceral adiposity, which is basically fatty tissue around the internal organs. And in clinical practice, we approximate this by assessing waist circumference. This is really spotty! But we tend to think of it as “belly fat,” which is a fatphobic term. I prefer the term “visceral adiposity” even though it sounds really medical, it gets more specifically at what the issue is, which is that this particular adipose tissue around internal organs can be pathologic. It can be associated with insulin resistance, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, and risk of what we call metabolic—here's a mouthful—metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, which is what fatty liver disease has been renamed.So I don't think we totally understand why this happens in the menopausal transition. There is a hypothesis that torso fatty tissue does help increase estrogen, and it's the body's response to declining estrogen and attempts to preserve estrogen. But in our modern lives, where people live much longer than midlife, it can create pathology. VirginiaI just want to pause there to make sure folks get it. So it could be that this extra fat in our torsos develops for a protective reason —possibly replacing estrogen levels—but because we now live longer, there's a scenario where it doesn't stay protective, or it has other impacts besides its initial protective purpose.MaraRight? And this is just a theory. It's kind of impossible to prove something like that, but many menopause researchers have this working theory about, quote—we've got to find a better term for it—belly fat. What should we call it, Virginia? Virginia. I mean, or can we reclaim belly fat? But that's like a whole project. There is a lot of great work reclaiming bellies, but we'll go with visceral adiposity right now.MaraAnyway, this is an active area of menopause research, and I'm not sure we totally understand the phenomenon. That being said, Julie asks, “Should we just trust our bodies?” Do our bodies know what they're doing? And I think that's a really philosophical question, and that is the heart of what you're asking, Julie, rather than what's the state of the research on visceral adiposity in the menopause transition.It's how much do we trust our bodies versus how much do we use modern medicine to intervene, to try to change the natural course of our bodies? And it's a question about the role that modern medicine plays in our lives. So obviously, I'm a fan of modern medicine, right? I'm a medical doctor. But I also have a lot of skepticism about it. I can see firsthand that we pathologize a lot of normal physiologic processes, and I see the way that our healthcare system profits off of this pathology.So this is all to say: Most people do tend to gain weight over time. That's been well-described in the literature. Both men and women gain weight with age, and women tend to gain mid-section weight specifically during the menopausal transition, which seems to be independent of age. So people who go through menopause earlier might see this happen earlier. This weight gain is happening in unique ways that are affected by the hormone changes in the menopausal transition, and I think it can be totally reasonable to want to prevent insulin resistance or prevent metabolic dysfunction in the liver using medications. Or can you decide that you don't want to use medications to do that; diet and exercise also absolutely play a role. But I think it's a deep question. I don't know, what do you think? Virginia, what's your take?VirginiaI think it can be a both/and. If everybody gains weight as we age, and particularly as we go through menopause transition, then we shouldn't be pathologizing that at baseline. Because if everybody does it, then it's a normal fact of having a human body. And why are we making that into something that we're so terrified of?And I think this is what we're going to get more into with these questions: It's also possible to say, can we improve quality of life? Can we extend life? Can we use medicine to help with those things in a way that makes it not about the weight gain, but about managing the symptoms that may or may not be caused by the weight gain? If the weight gain correlates with insulin resistance, of course you're going to treat the insulin resistance, because the insulin resistance is the concern. Does that mean weight loss is the thing we have to do? Not necessarily.MaraTotally. I define size inclusive medicine—which is the way that I practice medicine—as basically not yelling at my patients to lose weight. And it's quite revolutionary, even though it shouldn't be. I typically don't initiate conversations about weight loss with my patients. If my patients have evidence of metabolic dysfunction in the liver, if they have evidence of diabetes or pre-diabetes, if they have high blood pressure, we absolutely tackle those issues. There's good medications and non-medication treatments for those conditions.And if my patients want to talk about weight loss, I'm always willing to engage in those conversations. I do not practice from a framework of refusing to talk with my patients about weight loss because I feel that's not centering my patients' bodily autonomy. So let's talk about these more objective and less stigmatized medical conditions that we can quantify. Let's target those. And weight loss may be a side effect of targeting those. Weight loss may not be a side effect of targeting those. And there are ways to target those conditions that often don't result in dramatic or clinically significant weight loss, and that's okay.One other thing I'll note that it's not totally clear that menopausal weight gain is causing those sort of metabolic dysfunctions. This is a really interesting area of research. Again, I'm not a researcher, but I follow it with interest, because as a size-inclusive doctor, this is important to the way that I practice. So there's some school of thought that the metabolic dysfunction causes the weight gain, rather than the weight gain causing the metabolic dysfunction. And this is important because of the way we blame people for weight gain. We think if you gain weight, you've caused diabetes or whatever. This flips thta narrative on its head. Diabetes is a really complex disease with many, many factors affecting it. It's possible that having a genetic predisposition to cardiometabolic disease may end up causing weight gain, and specifically this visceral adiposity. So this is all to say there's a lot we don't understand. And I think at the core is trying to center my patients values, and de-stigmatize all of these conversations.VirginiaI love how Julie phrased it: “The possible related weight gain in menopause is maybe nothing to fear, dread, or fight.” I think anytime we can approach health without a mindset of fear and dread and not be fighting our bodies, that seems like it's going to be more health promoting than if we're going in like, “Oh my God, this is happening. It's terrible. I have to stop it.”And this is every life stage we go through, especially as women. Our bodies change, and usually our bodies get bigger. And we're always told we have to fight through puberty. You have a baby, you have to get your body back as quickly as possible. I do think there's something really powerful in saying: “I am going through a big life change right now so my body is supposed to change. I can focus on managing the health conditions that might come along with that, and I can also let my body do what it needs to do.” I think we can have both.MaraYeah, that's so beautifully said. And Julie, thank you for saying it that way.VirginiaOkay, so now let's get into some related weight questions.I was just told by my OB/GYN that excess abdominal weight can contribute to urinary incontinence in menopause. How true is this, and how much of a factor do you think weight is in this situation? And I think the you know, the unsaid question in this and in so many of these questions, is, so do I have to lose weight to solve this issue?MaraYes. So this is a very common refrain I hear from patients about the relationship between BMI and sort of different processes in the body, right? I think what the listeners' OB/GYN is getting at is the idea that mass in the abdomen and torso might put pressure on the pelvic floor. And more mass in the torso, more pressure on the pelvic floor.But urinary incontinence is extremely complicated and it can be caused by lots of different things. So I think what the OB/GYN is alluding to is pelvic floor weakness, which is one common cause. The muscles in the pelvic floor, which is all those muscles that basically hold up your uterus, your bladder, your rectum—all of those muscles can get weak over time. But other things can cause urinary incontinence, too. Neurological changes, hormonal changes in menopause, can contribute.Part of my size inclusive approach to primary care is I often ask myself: How would I treat a thin person with this condition? Because we always have other treatment options other than weight loss, and thin people have urinary incontinence all the time.VirginiaA lot of skinny grandmas are buying Depends. No shame!MaraTotally, right? And so we have treatments for urinary incontinence. And urinary incontinence often requires a multifactorial treatment approach.I will often recommend my patients do pelvic floor physical therapy. What that does is strengthen the pelvic floor muscles particularly if the person has been pregnant and had a vaginal delivery, those muscles can really weaken, and people might be having what we call genitourinary symptoms of menopause. Basically, as estrogen declines in the tissue of the vulva, it can make the tissue what we call friable.VirginiaI don't want a friable vulva! All of the language is bad.MaraI know, isn't it? I just get so used to it. And then when I talk to non-medical people, I'm like, whoa. Where did we come up with this term? It just means sort of like irritable.VirginiaOk, I'm fine having an irritable vulva. I'm frequently irritable.MaraAnd so that can cause a sensation of having to pee all the time. And that we can treat with topical estrogen, which is an estrogen cream that goes inside the vagina and is an amazing, underutilized treatment that is extremely low risk. I just prescribe it with glee and abandon to all of my patients, because it can really help with urinary symptoms. It can help with discomfort during sex in the menopausal transition. It is great treatment.VirginiaItchiness, dryness…MaraExactly, yeah! So I was doing a list of causes of urinary incontinence: Another one is overactive bladder, which we often use oral medications to treat. That helps decrease bladder spasticity. So this is all to say that it's multifactorial. It's rare that there's sort of one specific issue. And it is possible that for some people, weight loss might help decrease symptoms. If somebody loses weight in their abdomen, it might put less pressure on the pelvic floor, and that might ease up. But it's not the only treatment. So since we know that weight loss can be really challenging to maintain over time for many, many reasons, I think it's important to offer our patients other treatment options. But I don't want to discount the idea that it's inherently unrelated. It's possible that it's one factor of many that contributes to urinary incontinence.VirginiaThis is, like, the drumbeat I want us to keep coming back to with all these issues. As you said, how would I treat this in a thin person? It is much easier to start using an estrogen cream—like you said, low risk, easy to use—and see if that helps, before you put yourself through some draconian diet plan to try to lose weight.So for the doctor to start from this place of, “well, you've got excess abdominal fat, and that's why you're having this problem,” that's such a shaming place to start when that's very unlikely to be the full story or the full solution.MaraTotally. And pelvic PT is also underutilized and amazing. Everyone should get it after childbirth, but many people who've never had children might benefit from it, too.VirginiaOkay, another weight related question. This is from Ellen, who wrote in our thread in response to Julie's question. So in related to Julie's question about the role of declining estrogen in gaining abdominal fat:If that's the case, why does hormone replacement therapy not mitigate that weight gain? I take estrogen largely to support my bone health due to having a genetic disorder leading to fragile bones, but to be honest I had hoped that the estrogen would also help address the weight I've put on over the past five years despite stable eating and exercise habits. That hasn't happened, and I understand that it generally doesn't happen with HRT, but I don't understand why. I guess I'd just like to understand better why we tend to gain abdominal fat in menopause and what if anything can help mitigate that weight gain. I'm working on self acceptance for the body I have now, and I get frustrated when clothes I love no longer fit, or when my doctor tells me one minute to watch portion sizes to avoid weight gain, and the next tells me to ingest 1000 milligrams of calcium per day, which would account for about half of the calories I'm supposed to eat daily in order to lose weight or not gain more weight. It just feels like a lot of competing messages! Eat more protein and calcium, but have a calorie deficit. And it's all about your changing hormones, but hormone replacement therapy won't change anything.Ellen, relatable. So many mixed messages. Dr. Mara, you spoke to what we do and don't know about the abdominal fat piece a little bit already in Julie's question, so I think we can set that aside. But yes, if estrogen is playing a role, why does hormone replacement therapy not necessarily impact weight? And what do we do with the protein of it all? Because, let me tell you, we got like 50 other questions about protein.MaraI will answer the first part first: I don't think we know why menopausal hormone therapy does not affect abdominal fat. You're totally right. It makes intuitive sense, but that's not what we see clinically. There's some evidence that menopausal hormone therapy can decrease the rate of muscle mass loss. But we consider it a weight neutral treatment. Lots of researchers are studying these questions. But I don't think anybody knows.So those messages feel like they're competing because they are competing. And I don't think we understand why all these things go on in the human body and how to approach them. So maybe I'll turn the question back to you, Virginia. How do you think about it when you are seeking expertise and you get not a clear answer?VirginiaI mean, I'm an irritable vulva when it happens, that's for sure. My vulva and I are very irritated by conflicting messages. And I think we're right to be. I think Ellen is articulating a real frustration point.The other thing Ellen is articulating is how vulnerable we are in these moments. Because, as she's saying, she's working on self-acceptance for the body she has. And I think a lot of us are like, “We don't want weight loss to be the prescription. We don't want to feel pressured to go in that direction.” And then the doctor comes in and says, “1000 milligrams of calcium a day, an infinity number of protein grams a day. Also lose weight.” And then you do find yourself on that roller coaster or hamster wheel—choose your metaphor. Again, because we're so programmed to think “well, the only option I have is to try to control my weight, control my weight, control my weight.” And you get back in that space.What I usually try to do is phone a friend, have a plan to step myself out of that. Whether it's texting my best friend or texting Corinne, so they can be that voice of reason. And I would do this for them, too! You need help remembering: You don't want to pursue intentional weight loss. You're doing all this work on self-acceptance. Dieting is not going to be helpful. So what can you take from this advice that does feel doable and useful? And maybe it's not 1000 milligrams of calcium a day, but maybe it's like, a little more yogurt in your week. Is there a way you can translate this to your life that feels manageable? I think it's what you do a great job of. But I think in general, doctors don't do a great job with that part.MaraYeah, I bet you Ellen's doctor had 15 minutes with her. And was like, “Well, eat all this calcium and definitely try to lose weight,” right? And then was rushing out the door because she has 30 other patients to see that day.I think doctors are trying to offer what maybe they think patients want to hear, which is certainty and one correct answer. And it can feel hard to find the space to sort of sit in the uncertainty of medicine and health and the uncertainty of like our bodies. And corporate medicine is not conducive to that, let's put it that way.VirginiaBut so how much protein do we need to be eating?MaraI have no idea. Virginia, I don't think anybody knows. I think exercise is good for you. It's not good for every single body at every single moment in time. If you just broke your foot, running is not a healthy activity, right? If you're recovering from a disordered relationship with exercise, it's not healthy.But, movement in general prolongs our health span. And I'm reluctant to even say this, but, the Mediterranean diet—I hate even calling it a diet, right? But vegetables, protein—I don't even want to call them healthy fats, it's just so ambiguous what that means. But olive oil. All those things seem to be good for you. With the caveat that it's really hard to study the effects of diet. And this is general diet, not meaning a restrictive diet, but your diet over time. But I don't think we know how much, how much protein one needs to eat. It is unknowable.VirginiaAnd that's why, I think what we've been saying about figure out how to translate this into something that feels doable in your life. It's not like, Oh, olive oil forever. Never butter again. MaraOf course not. I love butter. Oh, my God. Extra butter!VirginiaRight. Butter is core to the Burnt Toast philosophy. I know you wouldn't be coming here with an anti-butter agenda.MaraOh, of course not. Kerry Gold forever.VirginiaBut it's, how can you take this and think about what makes sense in your life and would add value and not feel restrictive? And that's hard to do that when you're feeling vulnerable and worried and menopause feels like this big, scary unknown. But you still have the right to do that, because it's still your body.MaraBeautifully said.ButterVirginiaWell, this has all been incredibly helpful. Let's chat about things that are bringing us joy. Dr Mara, do you have some Butter for us? MaraI had to think about this a lot. The Butter question is obviously the most important question of the whole conversation.We have been in a heat wave in Philly, where I live, and it's really, really hot, and we have a public pool that is four blocks from our house. Philly actually has tons of public pools. Don't quote me on this, but I've heard through the grapevine—I have not fact-checked this—that it is one of the highest per capita free public pools in the country. I don't know where I heard that from. I know I should probably look that up, but anyway, we've got a lot of pools in Philly. And there's one four blocks from my house.So I used to think of pool time as a full day, like a Saturday activity. Like you bring snacks, you bring a book, you lounge for hours. But our city pool is very bare bones. There's no shade. And so, I have come to approach it as an after work palate cleanser. We rush there after I get my kid from daycare, and just pop in, pop out. It's so nice. And pools are so democratic. Everybody is there cooling off. There's no body shame. I mean, I feel like it's actually been quite freeing for my experience of a body shame in a bathing suit, because there's no opportunity to even contemplate it. Like you have to hustle in there to get there before it closes. There's no place to put your stuff. So you can't do all those body shielding techniques. You have to leave your stuff outside of the pool. So you have to go in in a bathing suit. And it's just like, all shapes and sizes there. I love it. So public pools are my Butter.VirginiaWe don't have a good public pool in my area, and I wish we did. I'm so jealous. That's magical. Since we're talking about being in midlife, I'm going to recommend the memoir, Actress of a Certain Age: My Twenty-Year Trail to Overnight Success by Jeff Hiller, which I just listened to on audiobook. Definitely listen to it on audiobook. Obviously, Jeff Hiller is a man and not in menopause, but he is in his late 40s, possibly turned 50. He's an actress of a certain age, as he says. If you watched “Somebody Somewhere” with Bridget Everett, he plays her best friend Joel. And the show was wonderful. Everyone needs to watch that.But Jeff Hiller is someone who had his big breakout role on an HBO show at the age of, like, 47 or something. And so it's his memoir of growing up as a closeted gay kid in Texas, in the church, and then moving to New York and pursuing acting and all that. It's hilarious. It's really moving. It made me teary several times. He is a beautiful writer, and it just makes you realize the potential of this life stage. And one of his frequent refrains in the book, and it's a quote from Bridget Everett, is Dreams Don't have Deadlines, and realizing what potential there is in the second half of our lives, or however you want to define it. Oh my gosh, I loved it so much. There's also a great, great interview with Jeff on Sam Sanders podcast that I'll link to as well. That's just like a great entry point, and it will definitely make you want to go listen to the whole book.MaraI love it.I will briefly say one thing I've been thinking about during this whole conversation is a piece by the amazing Anne Helen Petersen who writes Culture Study, which is one of my favorites of course, in addition to Burnt Toast. She wrote a piece about going through the portal. That was what she calls it. And she writes about how she's talking with her mom, I think, who says, “Oh, you're starting to portal!” to Anne. And I just love it.What she's getting at is this sort of surge of creativity and self confidence and self actualization that happens in midlife for women in particular. And I just love that image. Whenever I think of doing something that would have scared me a few years ago, or acting confident, appropriately confident in situations. I'm like, I'm going into the portal. I just, I love it, it's so powerful, and I think about it all the time.VirginiaWell, thank you so much for doing this. This was really wonderful. Tell folks where they can find you and how we can support your work.MaraThank you so much, Virginia. I'm such a fan of your work. It has been so meaningful, meaningful to me, both personally and professionally. So it's such an honor to be here again. You can find me on Substack. I write Your Doctor Friend by Mara Gordon . And I'm on Instagram at Mara Gordon MD, too. And you can find a lot of my writing on NPR as well. And I'm writing a book called, tentatively, How to Take Up Space, and it's about body shame and health care and the pursuit of health and wellness. So lots of issues like we touched on today, and hopefully that will be coming into the world in a couple of years. But yeah, thanks so much for having me, Virginia.The Burnt Toast Podcast is produced and hosted by Virginia Sole-Smith (follow me on Instagram) and Corinne Fay, who runs @SellTradePlus, and Big Undies.The Burnt Toast logo is by Deanna Lowe.Our theme music is by Farideh.Tommy Harron is our audio engineer.Thanks for listening and for supporting anti-diet, body liberation journalism!

We think of our brains as safe and secure within our skulls, and not easily influenced unless we consume a mind-altering substance, suffer a traumatic injury or undergo invasive brain surgery. However, recent research shows that our brain activity can be influenced non-invasively using nothing but sound and that this technique could have therapeutic potential. As a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, Dr. Ben Sorum began to think about these types of question while in the Lab of Dr. Stephen G. Brohawn. Now, Dr. Sorum's current research at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University explores how ultrasound, which can be non-invasively administered from outside the brain and through the skull, can activate specialized proteins in brain cells, changing their activity. The technique, if further developed, may play a key role in the future of neuromodulation, a field with enormous potential for treating neurological disorders.

In this episode, Dr. Sergio Zanotti explores one of medicine's fastest-evolving frontiers: artificial intelligence (AI).

A 34-year-old man fighting for his life in the intensive care unit is on an artificial respirator for over a month. Could it be that his chance of getting off the respirator is not how much his nurses know, but rather how much they care? A 75-year-old woman is heroically saved by a major trauma center, only to be discharged and fatally struck by a car while walking home from the hospital. Could a lack of compassion from the hospital staff have been a factor in her death? Compelling new research shows that health care is in the midst of a compassion crisis. But the pivotal question is this: Does compassion really matter? In Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, physician scientists Stephen Trzeciak and Anthony Mazzarelli uncover the eye-opening data that compassion could be a wonder drug for the 21st century. This episode is packed with practical insights and ROI evidence for customer experience investment. Join me and my guest, Dr. Stephen Trzeciak, author, Ted Talk speaker, and, oh yeah, Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Healthcare. In this episode: Evidence-Based Compassion: Compassion in healthcare isn't just a moral imperative; it has measurable, impactful benefits. Studies show that even a 40-second compassionate intervention can significantly reduce patient anxiety. ROI of Compassion: Compassionate care doesn't just improve patient trust and outcomes; it also positively affects hospital revenue, reduces staff turnover, and enhances overall service quality. Compassionate hospitals achieve better patient loyalty and team cohesion. Combatting Burnout: Dr. Trzeciak highlights the inverse correlation between compassion and burnout. Genuine, compassionate relationships are key to fostering resilience and well-being among healthcare providers, ultimately improving team retention and reducing costs related to high turnover. Meet Dr. T Stephen Trzeciak, MD, MPH is a physician scientist, the Edward D. Viner Endowed Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Health Care, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, New Jersey.

Serving Others Is The Best Medicine For Ourselves | Dr. Stephen Trzeciak Dr. Stephen Trzeciak was at the top of his game as a research scientist until an unexpected question from his 12-year-old son transformed his life's work. "What is the most pressing problem of our time? Do we really know? And what would happen if we actually did?"   Landing ‘compassion' as what Stephen believed for him was the most pressing problem of our time, and as a researcher he wasted no time getting down to business around looking at the science of compassion and the evidence based data that tells us without a shadow of a doubt that compassion is not only the cornerstone of the art of medicine, but it is a wonder-drug that serves the giver every bit as much as the receiver, if not more. In this conversation we talk about some of the scientific research around compassion, it's effects on anxiety and depression and how the pandemic has highlighted the light and shade of compassion and it's erosion in society today. Stephen Trzeciak, MD, MPH is a physician-scientist, Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Health Care, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, New Jersey. Dr. Trzeciak is a practicing intensivist (specialist in intensive care medicine), and a clinical researcher with more than 120 publications in the scientific literature. Dr. Trzeciak's publications have been featured in prominent medical journals, such as: JAMA, Circulation, and The New England Journal of Medicine. His scientific program has been supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with Dr. Trzeciak serving as Principal Investigator. Dr. Trzeciak is the co-author of two books, Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, and Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself. His work has been featured in numerous media outlets including CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Daily News, and Freakonomics. For this work, he was awarded the Influencers of Healthcare Award by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Broadly, Dr. Trzeciak's mission is to raise compassion and kindness globally through science.

We're seeing another surge of coronavirus cases, nearly two and a half years after we all heard of COVID-19 for the first time. What do you need to know about the new Omicron subvariant? At this stage of the pandemic, should you be worried at all, especially if you are already vaccinated, boosted, and generally doing what the public health officials and doctors say you should be doing? What's going to come next in this pandemic? We wanted to step back and evaluate where we are as a country, and what this coronavirus is doing right now, so we caught up with Dr. Annette Reboli, an epidemiologist, infectious disease specialist, and the Dean and Professor of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University.

After more than a decade studying resuscitation science in the ICU, Dr. Stephen Trzeciak felt himself burning out. He was skeptical of “escapist” options, like more vacations. “I thought something had to fundamentally change at the point of care,” he tells host Shiv Gaglani. Inspired by empirical studies linking human connections with increased resilience, he decided to lean into relationships with those around him and focus on service towardothers. Through his books, research, and his work as Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, Dr. Trzeciak has dedicated himself ever since to spreading the word about the often-overlooked importance of human connection. Amid a worker shortage in the healthcare professions, Dr. Trzeciak hopes a renewed emphasis on the bonds that connect us all will make the system, and the people who constitute it, stronger. Tune in to hear about his new book Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways that Serving Others is the Best Medicine for Yourself, how people are increasingly opting for self-care strategies that isolate them further, and why medical conversations often stay with patients and their families for the rest of their lives.Mentioned in this episode: https://www.wonderdrugbook.com/

The Evidence Is In: We Can Heal Ourselves by Serving OthersWith stress and burnout at an all-time high, we need to be more conscious than ever about self-care. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Trzeciak shares how caring for and serving others actually replenishes us, and shares the physical and psychological benefits of helping others. We've always known compassion feels good to both parties. What we may not realize is there's a wealth of data proving compassion heals both parties in profound and measurable ways. Dr. Trzeciak's first book, Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, coauthored by Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, lays out the evidence that compassion benefits patients, care providers, and organizations. Their new book, Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself, reiterates that message in light of the burnout crisis, and gives a specific prescription for building energy, resilience, and happiness by investing in caring relationships.In this podcast, you'll learn:·       Why serving others is really the best medicine for yourself ·       How to ask the right questions and show people you really care·       How to recognize the nine (on average) opportunities for empathy each of us face every day and maximize them ·       How to support people through tough times, even when you can't fix everything ·       Why ruthless leaders don't do well and the benefits of compassionate leadershipAbout: Stephen Trzeciak, MD, MPH is a physician scientist, Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Health Care, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, New Jersey.  Dr. Trzeciak is a practicing intensivist (specialist in intensive care medicine), and a clinical researcher with more than 120 publications in the scientific literature.  His scientific program has been supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with Dr. Trzeciak serving as Principal Investigator.  Dr. Trzeciak is the co-author of two books, Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference, and Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself.  Broadly, Dr. Trzeciak's mission is to raise compassion and altruism globally, through science.Learn more about upcoming events at www.HealthcarePlusSG.com/events All in-person attendees at the RYTO Conference  will receive a copy of Wonder Drug.

Episode Abstract Pregnant patients may have exacerbation of underlying arrhythmic syndromes or unmasking of previously undiagnosed arrhythmic syndromes. Management of atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias should proceed with increased urgency in pregnant patients due to risk of adverse hemodynamic events in the mother and fetus. Cardioversion of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias is safe in pregnancy. Preferred antiarrhythmic agents in pregnant patients include metoprolol, propranolol, verapamil, flecainide, propafenone, sotalol, procainamide, and lidocaine. Management of arrhythmias in pregnancy should include collaboration with obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine teams. Pearls Pre-conception counseling is a shared decision making process; include obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine colleagues in challenging cases. Have a high sense of urgency for acute arrhythmias in pregnancy due to risk of impaired fetal perfusion. Goals of acute arrhythmic management should include rapid treatment while avoiding hypotension. In scenarios when beta blockers are indicated, metoprolol and propranolol are first choice. Avoid atenolol as this drug has the highest risk of fetal bradycardia and intra-uterine growth retardation in the class. Lidocaine or procainamide should be first line for ventricular arrhythmias in pregnancy. Amiodarone is potentially teratogenic and should not be used in pregnant patients unless all other options have been exhausted. Show notes 1. What are the expected electrophysiologic changes associated with pregnancy? Increase in resting heart rate which peaks in third trimesterPR shorteningECG axis shift leftward and upwardNon-specific ST and T wave changes These changes, along with increased cardiac output and volume with increased stretch in all chambers, increase the risk of re-entrant arrhythmias in those who are predisposed. ↑ atrial volume -> ↑ stretch -> ↑ ectopy -> ↑ risk for re-entrant arrhythmias 2. What is the approach to pre-conception counseling for patients with known arrhythmias or arrhythmic syndromes? Anticipate frequency and potential severity of adverse arrhythmic outcomes during pregnancy and post-partum periodConsider available options for rhythm control and anticoagulation therapy, as appropriate, during the pre-conception, pregnancy, and post-partum periodsConsider catheter ablation prior to pregnancy, particularly for curable arrhythmias such as Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) and AVNRT   Offer genetic counseling about hereditary risk to fetus for inherited arrhythmias such as Brugada syndrome and Long QT syndrome 3. What is the management of SVT in pregnancy?

Professor Stephen Trzeciak, Chief of Medicine, Cooper University Healthcare and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, Camden, New Jersey is co-author with Dr Anthony Mazzarelli of the book Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference. His personal quest is “to make healthcare more compassionate through science.” A specialist in Intensive Care, Stephen's research over a 20-year period had focused on resuscitation science. The trajectory of his life's work changed when he reflected on a question that his 12-years old son had been set as a school assignment: “What is the most pressing problem of our time?” It seemed to him that the most pressing problem of our time, through the lens of his experience as a physician, is the “crisis in compassion.” In the US, for example, 50% of patients believe that neither the healthcare system nor healthcare providers are compassionate. Physicians miss 60-90% of opportunities to respond to patients with compassion. Data from the Mayo Clinic shows that the median time before interruption when a patient is trying to explain their reason for going to a doctor is just 11 seconds. More than a third of physicians suffer from depersonalisation, an inability to make a personal connection. In an era of electronic patient records, physicians typically spend more time looking at a computer screen than looking a patient in the eyes. In partnership with colleague Dr Anthony Mazzarelli, Stephen set himself the challenge of answering the question “So what? Does compassion really matter?” in quantitative terms. 1,000 papers later they had found overwhelming evidence that compassion matters in measurable ways for patients and for medical practitioners. He considers himself “a work in progress.” Contrary to the belief he once held that people were either wired for compassion or they were not, he says there is plentiful evidence that compassionate behaviours can be taught and learnt. Trzeciak and Mazzarelli found that there were 24 different mechanisms whereby compassion could benefit patients. By way of example, if you are compassionate towards your patients you are more likely to be meticulous and less prone to making major medical errors. Research shows that if you are compassionate towards your patients, they are more likely to adhere to the course of treatment. In the psychological domain it might be intuitively evident that compassion for others can modulate the psychological distress of others. Compassionomics references the clinical evidence for this. Stephen has an ongoing research programme at Cooper University Healthcare and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University around the quantification of the effects of compassion in healthcare. He maintains that it is not until you quantify the impact for patients and for those who care for them that compassion will be given appropriate priority. It belongs in the domain of evidence-based medicine. He says “there wouldn't be a compassion crisis in healthcare if we really understood the magnitude of the effect.” As a specialist in intensive care medicine, Stephen routinely meets people “on the worst day of their life” and was a prime candidate for burnout himself. Conventional wisdom might be that he should maintain a certain emotional detachment from his work. But the research reveals a strong inverse association between physician compassion and burnout – “compassion can be a powerful therapy for the giver too.” When you bear witness to pain and suffering you activate the pain centres of your brain, but moving on to compassionate action activates the reward pathways. “Compassion feels good” and caring for others is fulfilling.

Marcel Schwantes welcomes this week’s guest, Dr. Stephen Trzeciak, to the Love In Action Podcast. Dr. Trzeciak is Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Healthcare, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School. His research has been featured in prominent medical journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine. He is the bestselling author of Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference. Dr. Trzeciak was granted the 2019 Influencers of Healthcare Award by the Philadelphia Inquirer. Stephen’s mission is to make healthcare more compassionate through science. [3:11] An unexpected question from his 12-year-old-son changed the trajectory of Stephen’s research. [7:33] “I ended up coming to the conclusion that the most pressing problem of our time is the lack of compassion,” Stephen says. “And I believe that transcends almost everything that we’re seeing in society today.” [9:58] Physicians miss 60-90% of opportunities to treat patients with compassion. [13:07] “We're testing the hypothesis that compassion isn't just a nice to have, that it's literally part of the therapeutic relationship itself,” Stephen says. [14:38] Marcel and Stephen discuss how compassion improves patient outcomes. Stephen points out that if you care about your patients, you’re more likely to be meticulous about the technical aspects of patient care. He shares how depersonalization, a major indicator of burnout, is associated with medical and surgical errors. [18:03] Marcel asks how compassion benefits the patient as well as the healthcare provider. [22:48] The three domains of burnout are depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and feeling unable to make a difference. [23:15] There’s an inverse relationship between burnout and compassion, Stephen argues. People who have more compassion are more resistant to burnout. “The preponderance of evidence in the literature suggests that compassion can actually be protective; and perhaps compassion is actually an antidote to burnout…” [25:25] “40 seconds of compassion was all it took to make a measurable difference in the anxiety levels of patients who had gone through cancer,” Stephen says, “...a meaningful compassionate intervention takes less than 60 seconds.” [31:00] You can become more compassionate if you believe you can, and if you work at it. [35:00] Helping others helps you become more successful, Stephen argues. On the other hand, people who are only focused on themselves are more likely to be depressed, anxious, unfulfilled and unhappy. [37:50] Stephen comments, “The three most important things in success is people, people and people. So if you have the people that are going to be modeling behavior that gives other people elevation and that upliftment of witnessing moral excellence, that's just going to be a chain reaction.” [41:25] Stephen advises listeners to “Find the greatest need that you possibly can and then go fill that need in service to others. And the science shows that that is much more likely to give you your true fulfillment.” [43:21] Resources Compassionomics.com

Dr. Nathan Regier is pleased to be joined to this episode by Dr. Stephen Trzeciak to talk about compassion research, interesting, relevant and applicable research about compassion in health care. Stephen Trzeciak, MD, MPH, is a physician-scientist, chief of medicine at Cooper University Health Care, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, N.J.  Dr. Trzeciak is a practicing intensivist (specialist in intensive care medicine), and a National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded clinical researcher with more than 100 publications in scientific literature.   In today’s episode you will hear about Dr. Trzeciak’s research which is focused on a new field called “Compassionomics,” in which he studied the scientific effects of clinical compassion on patients, patient care, and those who care for patients. He is the author of the best-selling book: “Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference.” Broadly, Trzeciak’s mission is to make healthcare more compassionate through science.   Key Takeaways: [2:41] Dr. Stephen Trzeciak explains what an “intensivist” is. [3:28] Dr. Trzeciak shares how he became interested in compassion. [7:40] Dr. Trzeciak talks about how his research on compassion became a book. [8:20] Why there is a compassion crisis in healthcare. [9:06] Compassion matters in meaningful and measurable ways. [10:35] What is behind the compassion crisis? [11:06] Differences between compassion and empathy. [16:10] ⅓ of Americans admit that compassion is not one of their core values. [17:25] People are emotionally exhausted and they just can’t seem to care. [18:29] Compassionate behaviors can be learned. [22:37] The neuroscience data that supports the distinction  between empathy and compassion. [27:58] The best antidote to burnout is more compassion. [31:39] Healthcare providers who show compassionate behaviors build resilience and resistance to burnout. [33:40] The matter of time: It takes less than a minute to make a meaningful impact on a patient. [35:36] The different uses of time and how they are perceived. [37:14] Dr. Stephen Trzeciak talks about the time when he realized he had every symptom of burnout and decided he was going to care more and not less. [41:07] The declaration of interdependence.  [42:50] Lighting round. [48:45] Nate’s three key takeaways: Empathy and compassion are different. The antidote for burnout has to be at the point of care. Compassion is an evolutionary advantage.   Mentioned in this episode: The Compassion Mindset Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference.

Dr. Stephen Trzeciak is a Physician-Scientist, TED speaker, and Professor of Medicine at the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, who’s dedicated a large portion of his career to helping patients in the intensive care unit. More recently, he authored the book Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference where he studies how compassion impacts patient outcomes. At the core of his research, he asked one fundamental question: Does compassion really matter? It turns out, it does. When authentic, it plays a big role in positively impacting patient outcomes, and I will dare to say that this finding doesn't only limit itself to the medical field. Think of its application in the business world. Within team dynamics. How compassion contributes to company cultures and trust.

Dinosaur of the day Yamaceratops, a ceratopsian whose frill is heavily pitted, possibly for jaw muscle attachments. Interview with Ali Nabavizadeh, Assistant Professor of anatomy at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. He studies the jaw musculature of herbivorous dinosaurs. Follow him on Twitter @Vert_Anatomist and check out his blog Anatomist's Guide. In dinosaur news this week: A large sauropod from the Late Cretaceous has been found in the Gobi Desert and it’s about 30-40% complete In Argentina 70 million year old dinosaur eggs were found possibly including embryos, skin, and teeth The “Tufts-Love” T. rex skull at the Burke Museum has found 100% of the skull and jaw bones by bone count including several that are rarely preserved Junchang Lü, one of the most prominent paleontologists in China, recently passed away at the beginning of October at the age of 53 Chilesaurus diegosuarezi, the first Jurassic dinosaur found in Chile, is going on exhibit at the Regional Museum of Aysen, in Coyhaique, Chile, next year An Allosaurus will be posed with a nest at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History since it may have looked after its young Jurassic World is selling Indoraptor masks, just in time for Halloween A study of 150 Ceolophysis—mostly from the same bonebed—show that early triassic dinosaurs had femora that changed significantly as they aged The data used to support the Ornithoscelida hypothesis had many errors, which casts some doubt on the conclusion that Ornithoscelida should replace the traditional Saurischia and Ornithischia groups A study of a baby Massospondylus and it’s forelimb strength shows that Massospondylus was bipedal for its entire life A simulation of Mussaurus (the earliest Jurassic sauropodomorph) showed its center of mass shifted as it grew, meaning that it was quadrupedal as a baby and bipedal as an adult Researchers used a program called niche mapper to model microclimates of Plateosaurus & Coelophysis, showing which environments they would prefer based on plumage and metabolic rates Reconstructions of dinosaur feeding musculature shows that they chewed in a way different than any animal alive today A study of emu and ostrich bones found many similarities with dinosaurs and suggests using bone microstructure to identify maturity Sauropodomorph inner ears vary significantly across groups: Diplodocoids have relatively smaller inner ear, while Giraffatitan has the largest known inner-ear By studying alligator and turkey arms we might be able to show which theropods could supinate their hands as they drew them to their body A study of dinosaur bearing sites from Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta & Saskatchewan and the similar aged Judith River sites in Montana shows which locations were the most similar A new model of dinosaur diversity in the latest cretaceous shows that they were not in decline, but instead maybe slowing down or leveling off This episode is brought to you in part by TRX Dinosaurs, which makes beautiful and realistic dinosaur sculptures, puppets, and animatronics.
