Few people know as much about inflammation and neuroscience as Dr. Kevin Tracey does. In this episode of STEM-Talk, we learn much from Tracey, who was the first to identify the inflammatory reflex, a physiological mechanism that regulates the body's immune response to injury and invasion. He is a neurosurgeon, a pioneer in bioelectrical medicine and president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, N.Y. The conversation in this episode covers a career spent working on “producing tomorrow's cures today” in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including: How the death of his mother from a brain tumor when Tracey was 5 years old ultimately influenced his scientific journey. How the death of a young patient of his from sepsis further fueled his path, leading him to the insight that “good science begins with hard questions,” as Tracey shared in a TedTalk.  The molecular mechanisms of inflammation and the use of vagus nerve stimulation to treat it. His 1987 discovery of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which contributed to a new class of drugs for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Another discovery that allowed him and his colleagues to merge neuroscience and immunology. His work on “The Inflammatory Reflex”, which emphasized the basic neural pathway that reflexively monitors and adjusts the inflammatory response. A sketch he drew while having lunch, which laid out how treating inflammatory diseases using a bioelectronic device might be possible. What advances in bioelectronic medicine he envisions in the next decade, and much more. [00:03:04] Dawn asks Kevin to tell the story of how he developed an interest in science that evolved into him becoming a neurosurgeon. [00:04:56] Dawn mentions that Kevin was a curious youth and asks if it is true that after getting his first car, Kevin removed the entire engine because he wanted to better understand how to do a valve job. [00:06:33] Ken mentions that after Kevin graduated from high school, he enrolled in Boston College where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry. Ken explains that Kevin went to Boston University Medical School for his M.D. and asks Kevin about the transition. [00:08:41] Ken asks if it is true that during Kevin's first year at medical school his classmates had better luck finding him on the golf course than in the classroom. [00:10:42] Dawn asks Kevin about his transition from medical school to the neurological surgery training program at New York Hospital, home of the Cornell University Medical College. [00:13:11] Dawn pivots to talk about sepsis, which kills more than 350,000 people annually. She asks Kevin to discuss his tragic story of treating a patient with sepsis as a young neurosurgeon and how that changed the trajectory of his career. [00:16:38] Ken explains that since the aforementioned incident, Kevin has focused on determining why septic shock occurs. Ken refers to a Ted Talk of Kevin's in which he says, “good science begins with hard questions.” Ken asks Kevin to elaborate on this point. [00:20:49] Dawn mentions that Kevin often describes himself as a brain surgeon who is fascinated by inflammation. Dawn asks Kevin how he responds when people ask him what inflammation is. [00:22:29] Ken follows up by explaining that in 1987 Kevin made progress investigating inflammation with his discovery of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which contributed to a new class of drugs for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Ken asks Kevin to discuss this discovery. [00:25:56] Dawn mentions that in the late ‘90s, Kevin made another discovery that allowed him and his colleagues to merge neuroscience and immunology. Before getting into that discovery, Dawn asks Kevin to explain how humans have simple reflex circuits that harmonize the activity of our organs. She also asks him to talk about Charles Sherrington's Nobel Prize-winning research, which laid the groundwork for contemporary neuroscience by...

When's the last time you questioned your own beliefs? Have you ever questioned your own beliefs? Today, Emily is joined by Dr. Kelly Brogan for a 2-part episode on Why Isn't Everyone Questioning Their Beliefs? Kelly is a clinical psychologist who has shifted into integrative and holistic medicine after struggling with an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's disease. She shares her frustration with conventional medicine, which failed to provide her with nutritional and holistic approaches that significantly improved her health. This ultimately led her to question the conventional medical system she had been part of. They also discuss the importance of balancing your masculine and feminine energies, and how Kelly has learned to cultivate a more nurturing archetype within herself. One of the most profound things in this episode is Kelly's inspiring ability to redefine herself, and her humility in questioning her beliefs.  Stay tuned for Part 2 of this powerful conversation.

Robert Lustig, MD, MSL is a Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.   In his New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processes Food, Obesity, and Disease, Robert documents both the science and the politics that have led to the current pandemic of obesity and chronic disease. In the Fat Chance Cookbook, Robert provides practical examples for applying healthy eating principles with recipes by Cindy Gershen.   Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with basic and clinical training relative to hypothalamic development, anatomy, and function. Prior to coming to San Francisco in 2001, he worked at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. There, he was charged with the endocrine care of many children whose hypothalami had been damaged by brain tumors, or subsequent surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Many patients who survived became massively obese. Dr. Lustig theorized that hypothalamic damage led to the inability to sense the hormone leptin, which in turn, led to the starvation response. Since repairing the hypothalamus was not an option, he looked downstream, and noted that these patients had increased activity of the vagus nerve (a manifestation of starvation) which increased insulin secretion. By administering the insulin suppressive agent octreotide, he was able to get them to lose weight; but more remarkably, they started to exercise spontaneously. He then demonstrated the same phenomenon in obese adults without CNS lesions.   The universality of these findings has enabled Dr. Lustig to weave these threads together into a novel unifying hypothesis regarding the etiology, prevention, and treatment of the current obesity epidemic, and the role of our environment in the biochemical changes that promote weight gain. This has led him to explore the specific role of fructose (half of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) as a specific mediator of both chronic disease, and continued caloric consumption. His acclaimed YouTube video, “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” continues its popularity with the lay public.   A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Lustig went to Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980.

Good Alfacast friend, Kelly Brogan MD, is back for another fun and insightful variation on our continuing chat theme of personal sovereignty through the emancipation from group-think.  Our last roundtable with Kelly dissected the collective psychosis, and the common TCB end-around through spiritual bypass. On this episode, Kelly will once again bring it, with a discussion central to her new book release, Recleimed Woman.  A special note for the AV gents, this one has everything to do with you as well as the ladies, as the much needed reinvigoration of masculinity in today's domesticated men-folk can only be fueled by authentic femininity. Kelly is a holistic psychiatrist, author of the New York Times Bestselling book, A Mind of Your Own, Own Your Self, the children's book, A Time For Rain, and co-editor of the landmark textbook, Integrative Therapies for Depression. "We've been duped by feminism, sexual liberation, birth control, and antidepressants." She is the founder of the online healing program, Vital Mind Reset, the membership community, Vital Life Project as well as the feminine reclamation program, Reclaimed, and hosts the internationally acclaimed podcast, Reclamation Radio. She completed her psychiatric training and fellowship at NYU Medical Center after graduating from Cornell University Medical College, and has a B.S. from M.I.T. in Systems Neuroscience. She is specialized in a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms as well as women's psychospirituality. "We are told that we are now free and independent women because we are no longer constrained by the trappings of our womanhood and can work, have sex, and consume just like men." The Reclaimed Woman text dives deep into the intricacies of womanhood, identity, and self-empowerment through rich narratives and thoughtful critiques. It challenges conventional notions of feminism, exploring how societal influences and expectations shape personal identity and relational dynamics. Each chapter meticulously unpacks the layers of societal conditioning, revealing the struggles women face in reclaiming their autonomy and voice. Reclaimed Woman" serves not just as a critique but as a guide for women navigating the path back to themselves. It invites a reevaluation of what it means to be empowered, urging a return to authenticity and an embrace of the unique power inherent in the feminine. This work promises to spark thoughtful discussions on the nature of personal growth, the impact of societal narratives on identity, and the reclaiming of one's life narrative from the clutches of cultural expectations.

My conversation today is with Will Shrank, MD. Dr. Shrank led the evaluation group at CMMI (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation). He has spent time in the private sector, first at CVS Health and UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center) as chief medical officer of the health plan in Pittsburgh, and then as the chief medical officer for Humana. Now he is a venture partner at Andreessen Horowitz and doing some consulting for CMMI. We start out this conversation talking about waste in healthcare. In fact, Dr. Shrank was on a team who did a study about waste in the US healthcare system. (The article is, unfortunately, firewalled.) In that study, it says estimates suggest we have upwards of a trillion dollars of waste a year. There's two main groupings of said waste, turns out. The first is in administrative failures. There's three subcategories here: fraud, waste, and abuse; administrative complexity; and pricing failures. Then there's the clinical failures side of the waste house. There's three subcategories here as well, and they are failures in care coordination, failure in care delivery, and then low-value care. Dr. Shrank digs in a bit on each of these in the interview that follows, but I have to say, I go in fast for the now what. Great that we know where the waste is coming from, because gotta know the problems to solve for them. But really, what's the best way to solve for this waste? You know me by now, so I, of course, point out immediately that someone's waste is someone else's profit. So, that's a wrinkle. And it's a really rough wrinkle, because now you have groups lobbying to basically protect the waste. As just one example, what are pricing failures, after all, if not someone else's margin? Major spoiler alert here, but Dr. Shrank says one sort of broad-stroke solution is aligning incentives with higher-quality care, paying for the longitudinal patient journey, and paying for outcomes. If you do this, then at least the clinical failures side of the equation could improve. The implication here is that if the incentive is to be accountable for value—which is, you know, numerator quality denominator cost—then the supply chain has an incentive to reduce its own waste because effectively, at that point, it's coming out of their pocket as opposed to somebody else's. Will this resetting of the financial model happen overnight? That was a rhetorical question that we all know the answer to. Commercial payers are slow to change, and all but the best employers have been (historically, at least) busy making extremely lateral moves and going nowhere fast. Few seem super inclined to reward and pay for what they care about rather than just negotiating a price. I sort of say this to Dr. Shrank, and he says, yeah, true enough. I'm paraphrasing with a lot of creative license right now, but he says, let's reset our expectations with reality. We've actually come a pretty long way, baby, in not a particularly long time if you consider the whole value-based thing really only started not that long ago, relatively speaking. So, there will be problems to overcome and bumps in the road. We should expect that, and we haven't had the time to work them all out yet. I think a couple of other interesting insights for me, one was a little sidebar we go off on about the power that PCPs might find themselves wielding if they can gang up and harness it. And this is kind of starting. We'll see if it goes anywhere. I recently heard a story about a bunch of employed PCPs who went to their health system bosses and asked to stand up an APCP (advanced primary care practice) able to coordinate care, etc, do all the things that at this juncture we know are the right things to do for patients. Now they got shot down—bam!—with the backhands from above. I hope those engaged and activated PCPs quit and start up their own thing. Maybe they will. PCPs getting together here could be a way to solve for waste if they can gang up and harness it. And that's actionable if you happen to be a PCP or are looking to continue to employ them moving forward. The potential rising power of PCPs might cause some health systems to rethink some of the choices they are making (ie, the choice to employ PCPs as RVU [relative value unit] referral machines). PCPs, better than anyone, can see the harm inflicted by the business model that forces a drive-by PCP level of care. Moral injury is at an all-time high, and in addition, I just saw that study recently that showed to do all the administrative work of a PCP these days, it would take longer than 24 hours in a day. If you're a self-insured employer, I'd also kind of take note of this because it also could be actionable for you. Someone who would know told me recently that if enough employers demanded some value-based accountability, some advanced primary care going on, even a dominant consolidated health system would listen. So there seems to be some alignment here between employers and PCPs if these groups can come together and collaborate. In sum, we have a waste problem in this country. Aligning incentives might be one way to curb that waste. Can I just share with you some of the reviews that we got on iTunes recently? They make my heart so warm. I just want to acknowledge these individuals who took the time to write reviews. Here's the first one. It's from Jspeaks1987. He wrote, “[RHV is] my weekly go-to for smart takes on VBC [value-based care]. I have recommended this podcast to literally hundreds of people (including onstage at our recent customer success summit). Anyone who cares about the sustainability of our healthcare system owes it to themselves to give [Relentless Health Value] a permanent spot on their playlist. Always smart, often provocative, scrupulously fair [I like that … scrupulously fair], it's well worth the listen.” Thank you so much, Jspeaks1987. Here's another one. And this is from happygilmore80. I know who you are, happygilmore. “RHV is an amazing podcast and sorely needed in the healthcare community. I tell everyone about it. … I'm a recent listener and have learned so much from [episode] 399 and 400 [which are the manifestos]. Episode 410 was packed with knowledge, 407 was great, etc. Let's start a hundred RHV communities across the US where we implement small experiments so change is grassroots and ubiquitous. Then the status quo will concede.” And yeah, for sure with that. If anyone is interested in creating a meetup or something in your local area, reach out. I'll try to hook you up with others in the Relentless Tribe. Here's a third one, and this is by Miriam. Thank you so much for this, Miriam. Miriam says, “I scoured the podcast world to find a healthcare industry podcast that offers intelligent, relevant, clear information and dialogue. I found it. Stacey and RHV cover the US healthcare industry across all sectors while managing to go deep within those sectors. Most importantly, [RHV] highlights how all of those sectors interact, supposedly with the patient at the center, while performing as businesses that are really driven by capitalism.” Miriam says she never misses an episode. To the three of you, thank you so much. It's actually reviews like this that keep me and the team going over here.   You can learn more by connecting with Dr. Shrank on LinkedIn.     William H.

The African American And Latino Communities Are Abused By The Food Industry Dr. Robert Lustig • http://www.robertlustig.com • Book - Metabolical #RobertLustig#BigFood #BigPharma #BigGovernment Dr. Robert Lustig is a The New York Times bestselling author and author of Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine and a Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco.  Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science, challenges our current healthcare paradigm which has gone off the rails under the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. You can't solve a problem if you don't know what the problem is. One of Lustig's singular gifts as a communicator is his ability to “connect the dots” for the general reader, in order to unpack the scientific data and concepts behind his arguments, as he tells the “real story of food” and “the story of real food.” Metabolical weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition, health/disease, medicine, environment, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations, among them: • Medicine for chronic disease treats symptoms, not the disease itself• You can diagnose your own biochemical profile • Chronic diseases are not "druggable," but they are "foodable" • Processed food isn't just toxic, it's addictive• The war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side• Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government are on the other side Making the case that food is the only lever we have to effect biochemical change to improve our health, Lustig explains what to eat based on two novel criteria: protect the liver, and feed the gut. He insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: this book explains what's needed to fix all three. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases. A native of Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital, his clinical fellowship at UCSF, his post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change. Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups. Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling. To Contact Dr Robert Lustig, M.D.  go to robertlustig.com Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with world renowned surgeon and best-selling author, Bernie Sigel, MD.  He discusses how patient drawings offer key insights into how the patient feels about their illness and treatment, as well as key events that have shaped their lives. He shares stories that illustrate these insights and how he used them to help patients tap into their innate healing power. He suggests that physicians should use patient drawings as a way to build trust and understanding with the patient. Bernie S. Siegel, MD, is a well-known proponent of integrative and holistic approaches to healing that heal not just the body but also the mind and soul.  He attended Colgate University and studied medicine at Cornell University Medical College. His surgical training took place at Yale–New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veterans Hospital, and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. In 1978 Bernie pioneered a new approach to group and individual cancer therapy called Exceptional Cancer Patients (ECaP), which utilized patients' drawings, dreams, and feelings, and he broke new ground in facilitating important patient lifestyle changes and engaging the patient in the healing process. He is the best-selling author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and The Art of Healing.  For more information, visit: berniesiegelmd.com.

Today we speak with an expert on sugar and things meant to replace it. The stakes are high. Very high. Sugar consumption in the population is astronomical and so is the use of sugar replacements. Knowing the impacts of both could help experts provide dietary guidance and help consumers make decisions. Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. He specializes on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system; body weight regulation, appetite, metabolism, and is very well known for his work on sugar and their substitutes and on policies aimed at improving the diet of the population. A YouTube video on the effects of consuming sugar called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” has now been viewed 24 million times. Interview Summary   URL for “The Bitter Truth video (https://youtu.be/dBnniua6-oM)   Let's start out with this - so the big hope is that sugar replacements, artificial sweeteners, non-nutritive sweeteners, all known as different things, replace sugar and that people can enjoy sweet taste without the calories. But, of course, the picture is way more complicated. Being an endocrinologist, you are in a good position to explain what happens when the sweeteners enter the body. I'd like to get to that in just a moment, but let's lead off with another question. Why is it so important for people to consume less sugar?   First, let's talk about what sugar is. The food industry tells you that sugar is just empty calories. I wish that were true. If that were true, then you could basically spend your discretionary calories on sugar with no problem. But it's not true. There are two molecules in dietary sugar: the sucrose or the high fructose corn syrup or honey maple syrup agave. They are all basically the same. One molecule of something called glucose, one molecule of something called fructose. Glucose is the energy of life. Glucose is metabolizable by every cell on the planet. Glucose is so important that if you don't consume it, your body makes it. The liver will take fats and turn it into glucose. It will take amino acids and turn it into glucose process called gluconeogenesis. Glucose actually makes your cells work better. It makes your mitochondria function better, the mitochondria being the little energy burning factories inside each of your cells. Glucose, for lack of a better word, we can call good. Fructose, on the other hand, it is completely different, is metabolized completely differently inside the body and inside the liver. What fructose does is it inhibits mitochondrial function. It actually inhibits three separate enzymes necessary for mitochondria to do their job. So, fructose inhibits energy generation. Now, the food industry will tell you fructose is four calories per gram. Fructose is ready energy. That is why they put high fructose corn syrup in the sports drinks, for example. Well, turns out, that fructose may be ready energy for a bomb calorimeter, but it is not ready energy for your mitochondria. You don't burn in a bomb calorimeter (a laboratory instrument), you burn via your mitochondria. It turns out, mitochondria are actually poisoned by fructose. So in fact, fructose is a chronic, dose-dependent mitochondrial toxin and this is why we have to eat less of it. But the problem is the food industry keeps putting it in anyway despite the fact that it is killing us.   How much more of it are people consuming than what you might suggest?   The American Heart Association years ago came up with a upper limit per day of about 25 grams, which would be about six teaspoons per day. I was actually part of that group that came up with that and I stick to it because that's what the data show. We are currently consuming 94 grams. We are consuming almost quadruple the amount that is the upper limit. Now, the notion that something could have empty calories but still be bad for you is not a crazy one. We have two things in our diet that we know are calories but are clearly toxic to us. One is alcohol. Alcohol, seven calories per gram, but alcohol is a poison. And then also trans fats. Trans fats are nine calories per gram, but trans fats are a poison. So just because something has calories doesn't have anything to do with its metabolic impact.   Where are people getting all the sugar from? I'm assuming it's not from their sugar bowl.   Exactly. It is not the sugar they add. It is the sugar the food industry adds. Now, where is it? Well, the obvious source is soft drinks. That's number one by far and away. I mean soft drinks are basically, you know, the devil incarnate. Several municipalities have actually figured that out, and it's one of the reasons we have soda taxes because it's actually directed at the problem. A lot of it is in other things that we identify as sweet: candy, cakes, ice cream. A lot of it is in other things like breakfast, cereal, yogurt, even cured meats. It is in a whole host of other things. When you add it all up, 65% of the sugar you consume is in ultra-processed foods. It is not in regular food. It is not in sugar you added to your own food. It is in ultra-processed foods. An ultra-processed food is the vehicle by which the payload, that is that fructose, is doing its damage.   Thanks for that background. We're really here to talk about the artificial sweeteners but it is irresistible talking to you about sugar in general because you described the whole picture in such a compelling way. So thank you for that. So, onto the artificial sweeteners. What are the main ones in the food supply?   Well, there are a whole bunch. The most common ones that the food industry uses the most, obviously aspartame, which is Equal. And also sucralose, which is Splenda. But there are others now out on the market: Neotame, there's Acesulfame-K, there's monk fruit, there's Stevia, and all the Steviol glycoside derivatives. There's now Allulose, and there's Tagatose. There's a whole host of different sweeteners that are considered "non-nutritive” meaning they don't have calories.   These things show up in ways that people don't necessarily recognize. I mean Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, those sort of things, it's obvious they're artificially sweetened. But these things are showing up in a lot of places, aren't they?   Indeed. The food industry now understands that sugar is a problem and people have been calling for less sugar but what they're not calling for is less sweet. And so the industry has a job. It has to deal with that dichotomy.   I know understanding their impacts is complicated by the fact that there are a lot of these things and they're all chemically different from one another. I'm imagining they have different metabolic effects. What happens when these things get into the body?   Right, and that is the issue. It has nothing to do with calories. People think calories are the issue. This has nothing to do with calories. That's one of the reasons, Kelly, that I'm committed to one concept: kill the calorie. Kill the calorie as a unit of measure. It was never appropriate. It was actually subterfuge, and it was actually promoted and promulgated by the food industry because if it is about calories, they can assuage their culpability for what they've done to our food supply. This has nothing to do with calories. This has to do with metabolic health.   Now, the World Economic Forum just published a white paper called the, "True Purpose of Nutrition," and it comes down to two words: metabolic health. That is what is going on inside the cell and that's where the artificial sweeteners do their damage, inside the cell. That's what we have to talk about. There are several places in the body where artificial sweeteners can do damage that have absolutely nothing to do with calories. The first, you put something sweet on your tongue. Message goes tongue to brain, "Sugar's coming." Brain sends a message to the pancreas, "Sugar's coming, release the insulin." Then the sugar never comes because it was a diet sweetener. What does the pancreas do? It turns out it releases the insulin anyway even though it had no calories, even though it wasn't sugar, just because of the sweet taste. So this is known as the cephalic phase of insulin secretion. That insulin is driving energy storage into fat, number one, and it's also driving cell proliferation in your coronary arteries, cell proliferation in your breast tissue, in other words, cardiovascular disease and cancer and ultimately leading to burnout of your pancreas, and now you've got diabetes too. Even though these artificial sweeteners have no calories, they still generate an insulin response, which is still problematic from a metabolic standpoint.   So because of the sweet taste and the body's response to that, I'm assuming what you're saying would be true to all of sweeteners?   Exactly. All of them do that. The next step is the artificial sweetener goes down your gullet, goes into your intestine, and the intestine has these bacteria in it called the microbiome. Most people have now heard of that. Different bacteria lead to different effects in the intestine. But think of your intestine - I mean it's a sewer. It has a whole lot of S-H-you-know-what in there. The goal of the intestine is to keep the S-H-you-know-what IN the lumen of the intestine and not allow it into the bloodstream. It uses three barriers. It has a physical barrier called the mucin layer. It has a biochemical barrier known as tight junctions or zonulins. It also has an immunological barrier called Th17 cells. Those three barriers have to work right to keep the junk out of your bloodstream because if the junk gets into your bloodstream, you now have systemic inflammation, which drives insulin resistance and drives chronic metabolic disease as well. So keeping your intestine in tiptop shape is really important. Well, it turns out those diet sweeteners alter the microbiome. Some of those bacteria like those sweeteners and utilize them to make toxic byproducts, which damage the mucin layer, damage that biochemical tight junction barrier and allow for things to seep through. This is a process called leaky gut. For reasons that are still unclear, sugar tends to deplete those Th17 cells, rendering the immunologic barrier devoid of function. The sum total of which means all the you-know-what in your intestine ends up in your bloodstream, goes to your liver, generates insulin resistance, and you are off to the chronic metabolic disease races as well, from diet sweeteners having nothing to do with calories.   What an amazing picture your painting of these things.   We've got one more mechanism. At the fat cell, now this I really don't understand and it's early data but seems to be consistent. Turns out adipocytes, fat cells, have receptors for diet sweeteners. Don't ask me why. I don't know why. But it turns out, diet sweeteners can act like insulin right at the fat cell to increase energy deposition into the fat cell. Growing those fat cells all by themselves, due to the diet sweetener rather than due to insulin. Now how dumb is that? As a result, there are a lot of different ways diet sweeteners might end up causing problems as well, having nothing to do with calories, having nothing to do with fructose. There was a paper that came out in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It was a meta-analysis of sugar and also of diet sweeteners in terms of diabetes and heart disease. What I can say in one sentence to sum up what this paper showed is that the toxicity of one Coca-Cola equals the toxicity of two diet Coca-Colas. Half as bad. That doesn't mean good. It means half as bad.   Boy, I mean, any one of the three major pathways to harm would be of concern. If you add them all together, it is a pretty striking picture, isn't it? I imagine, even if somebody knew about this, they might say, well, you know, I'm willing to accept those risks. I mean, even though you are making them sound substantial, but I'm willing to accept those risks if these products help me control my weight. Do they?   Well, they don't. That's part of the problem. There is not one study, not one study in the entire world's literature, that shows that switching from sugared beverages to diet beverages actually controls weight. The reason is because even though the diet sweeteners don't release as much insulin now, when you drink the diet sweetener, the pancreas releases it later. That's actually been shown in several studies now. You get a delayed insulin response, so that the 24-hour insulin burden is the same whether you consume the sugar or the diet sweetener.   Let's talk about safety for a minute. What about sort of the typical toxicology concerns that people have had for years about these substances, irrespective of what they're doing to the pancreas and to the other, the microbiome, et cetera? What about the just kind of pure safety of them?   Right, so the one that has generated the most heat, not too much light, unfortunately, is aspartame, NutraSweet. It turns out that aspartame has a very long and checkered history. Did you know that aspartame was made by Searle, G.D. Searle? And, do you know who the CEO of G.D. Searle was at the time that aspartame was approved by the FDA?   I do not.   His name was Donald Rumsfeld.   An interesting character in history.   Indeed, wouldn't you think? It turns out that G.D. Searle actually buried most of the toxicology of aspartame in order to get it approved. It is a long complicated and involved story, which we don't have time for. I'm not even privy to most of the details on that. The bottom line was it ultimately did get approved despite the fact that there was a significant amount of concern about toxicology of this compound. Those questions still remain today. That is one. Another one that is a big issue is sucralose. Sucralose is also called Splenda. Sucralose is a chlorinated poly-fructose and it's extremely sweet, no question about that. It seems to have some GI side effects that a lot of people don't like. It also has now been associated with cancer. And most recently, the one that's gotten the most attention and almost assuredly, Kelly, the reason you called me is the paper that came out about three weeks ago in science about erythritol. So erythritol is a sugar alcohol, and now the meta-analysis of erythritol consumption suggests that it may in fact contribute to heart disease. Now, is that true? Meta-analysis are complicated. People think meta-analysis are the piece de resistance, the highest bar of medical information and analysis. I have four words for meta-analysis: garbage in, garbage out. Meta-analyses are only as good as the studies that they base the data on. If those studies were done by the food industry, which almost all of these are, because that's who stands to benefit from them. These are almost never NIH studies. These are almost always food industry studies, as you know, the odds are 7.61 times more likely to find in favor of the compound of interest. So all of these are, shall we say, biased. All of these are tainted, and meta-analyses are basically a conglomeration of tainted studies. So what do you expect the result to be?   Thanks for that background. I'm imagining also regarding toxicology and safety, that some of the newer sweeteners like Splenda for example, sucralose, there hasn't been enough years of use to pick up long-term chronic effects.   Well certainly, if you're using cardiovascular or cancer events, you're absolutely right. A lot of these events, you know, take a long time to manifest themselves. Sometimes, a generation or even two generations for that matter, especially for heart disease and cancer. The 15-year-old is drinking 10 diet sodas. When do you expect the heart attack to show up? You know, it's complicated.   So we use biomarkers to try to answer these questions, but then the biomarker has to actually be a good proxy for those events and often they're not. Let me give you an example, LDL. Everybody thought LDL was the bad guy. Turns out triglycerides are the way worse guy. LDL has a hazard risk ratio for heart disease of 1.3. Triglycerides have a hazard risk ratio of 1.8. Triglycerides are 50% more important in determining heart disease than LDL is, but we use LDL as the biomarker because it's more stable. So you have to use the right biomarker and you have to interpret it properly and it actually has to mean something and it has to change relatively acutely. All of which are problematic for all of these biomarkers. It's hard. It's hard to do these kinds of analyses. Having said that, my group, a scientific advisory team that I convened to help an offshore ultra-processed food company improve the health of their products. We've published this just last month in Frontiers in Nutrition. The company is called Kuwaiti Danish Dairy Company, or KDD. The title of the paper is, "The Metabolic Matrix: Re-Engineering Ultra-processed Foods to Protect the Liver, Feed the Gut, and Support the Brain." We did a deep dive on diet sweeteners. We looked at all of these diet sweeteners and their proxies, all the biomarkers. The one that actually popped out that looked to be the most beneficial, at least acutely, is a new one that we're actually kind of interested in and is picking up speed and it's called allulose. Allulose currently is 12 times the cost of sugar, but that's coming down. It turns out allulose lowers LDL and raises HDL. So it may have a better cardiovascular profile, but again, all the caveats that we mentioned before.   That's very interesting. So given your interest in pediatrics, what about children using these sweeteners?   I am totally against children using sugar because they get fatty liver disease and Type 2 diabetes, and I am totally against them using diet sweeteners because, number one, we don't know what they're going to do. Number two, they don't actually lead to weight loss. That data we do have. So as far as I'm concerned, we really only have one option and that is de-sweeten our lives. We have to de-sweeten the food.   Perfect lead in to the next question I was going to ask. So do you think it is possible for people to become accustomed to less sweetness? I mean, let's say the food industry is required to gradually reduce sugar and sweetness from the sweeteners. What do you think would happen?   Absolutely. It is not only possible, it is eminently doable. And I know why and we have the data for why that is. So there is a very smart lady, neuroscientist at the University of Michigan by the name of Monica Dus, who has done all this work in fruit flies of all places. She has shown the desensitization of the tongue to sugar has to do with changes in receptors and changes in specific substrates in the taste buds of the tongue. When you stop the sugar availability, it takes three weeks for those receptors to increase and repopulate, and for those problematic substrates to go away. You can actually retrain your tongue in three weeks to be much more sensitive to the sugar that is in the food naturally. After a three-week abstinence period or a reduction or a weaning period, a blueberry will taste like a sugar bomb in your mouth. So we know this can happen and we actually have proven this for salt previously. The UK, as you know Kelly, back in 2003, the Blair government convened all the food industry concerns in Great Britain. So Marks & Spencer, and Weight Rose, and Tesco, et cetera, all around the big table, didn't let media in, and basically said to every single food industry concerned in Great Britain, "Look, we have a hypertension and stroke problem and it's because of the salt content of the food and we are going to play referee here in the government. And each of you is going to reduce the salt content of your food by 10% per year over a three-year period so that you'll reduce your salt by 30% at the end of this and everyone's going to play together, so that there's no competitive disadvantage and most importantly, we're not going to tell anybody." That's what they did. Sure enough, in 2011, a paper appeared in Burge Medical Journal, demonstrating a 40% reduction in hypertension and stroke because of the public health effort that the Blair government made in terms of reducing the amount of salt in processed food. We can do the same with sugar today.   The salt example is a good one because I think many people have sort of experienced this in their day-to-day lives, even in the United States, where industry hasn't done exactly what's happening in Britain. People have tried to reduce salt in their diet, add less salt, and buy products with less salt. And then sometimes they'll go back and consume something that they had before and find it extremely salty, even unpleasantly salty. It's interesting to hear on the sugar front that that same experience might be possible and that there's a biological reason for it. It is not just that you psychologically get accustomed to different levels of sugar, in this case, but there's a biological change occurring that might help keep that going.   Absolutely. You can change people's behavior by changing their biochemistry. This is how I got into this field by using a drug that suppressed insulin and getting kids who were 400 pounds due to their brain tumor to actually lose weight and start exercising because we got their insulin down. You can fix the biochemistry and the behavior will follow suit. The food industry could do that and we wouldn't even notice.   So I'm guessing I know the answer to this question before I even ask it, but let's go ahead. Would you suggest the food industry be mandated to make gradual reductions in sugar, just like you mentioned with salt in the UK?   Absolutely, I'm working toward that. The only thing that I say is we should not tell anybody.   So it would be sort of a stealth move then. You would not necessarily have to make a big deal of it to the public, because they might assume there's going to be a change in the desirability and the pleasure of the products when that's not necessarily the case.   As soon as you do something to their food, someone's going to scream, "Nanny state!" This is not nanny state. Ultimately, this is a public health problem. We have to deal with it with a public health solution. You know, that means changing things. If the amount of sugar in our food supply went down, say by 3% every six months down, so that we were able to cut our sugar consumption by 25%, which would be the same basically as what a tax would do. We would save so many billions of dollars in healthcare costs, and we would increase productivity so much. We actually published a paper, a microsimulation analysis in BMJ years ago where we quantified the savings to government, to insurers, to the public. If we actually got sugar down and, you know, actually listened to what the USDA told us, it would be amazing. There is data, there's a pathway forward, there's precedent for doing it. I absolutely think that is where we need to go.   Rob, you're making me feel very smart at the moment, because I figured this was going to be a podcast filled with information and helpful bits of knowledge and it sure was. I'm really grateful that you were able to join us and the topic couldn't be more important. Thank you again for being with us.     Bio   Robert H.

Today you'll have an opportunity to learn from a cardiologist, pharmacologist, and author, who has brought his expertise into the world of expert witnesses. Dr. Michael Zema shares what he has learned to sharpen his expert witness abilities. Dr. Zema has a routine of breaking up case analysis with research, which not only relieves the tedium of endless pages of documentation but gives him new insights into the case. He describes some of the pitfalls in electronic medical records with a warning that the copy-and-paste function can propagate a medical error for years. As an example, he describes meeting a patient whose chart incorrectly stated that he'd recently had bypass surgery. When Dr. Zema discovered this error, he found that the man's medical records had perpetuated it for two years. Because of the frequency of pharmaceutical errors, Dr. Zema urges expert witnesses to familiarize themselves as much as possible with pharmacology. He describes a case of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome in which an incorrectly prescribed drug played a big role. Of special value to expert witnesses and attorneys is his approach to cross-examination. He always tries to think like the opposing attorney, an approach he also uses in analyzing the medical information. Be prepared for some top-level information and guidance in this podcast. Join me in this episode of Decoding Medical Records - Tips and Techniques for Expert Witnesses - Dr. Michael Zema What's a good way to effectively navigate through volumes of electronic records? Why can copying and pasting electronic records create problems? How does the copy-and-paste repetition of an error in diagnosis inhibit correct perpetuate continued misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment? How does a strong knowledge of pharmacology assist an expert witness? Why is it essential to refer to the standard of care and other documentation extant at the time of an alleged malpractice incident?

Power Quotes From The Show Meet A Part Of Yourself "Any single thing I don't like about my day, or an interaction, or a direction that my life is going in, for me is an opportunity to meet a part of myself." - Kelly Brogan MD Judgment + Choice = Discernment "Judgment + choice = discernment. When you recognize that you don't like something, you're judging it. And when you can see that you have choices, you're actually taking responsibility for what you control. Then you can exercise discernment which is basically: "Does this work for me or does it not work for me?" It helps us to smoke out where it is that we're power-overing and it's never more relevant than in the area of parenting."- Kelly Brogan MD Get Real With Yourself "I have had an opportunity to recognize where I am sourcing something that's not available and semi-insisting that it should be and that can lead to ruptures where both parties are seeing that something is not working here. That is the opportunity for me to get real with myself and to say with a sober mind, sober heart, and sober eyes: 'What are my choices here? Can I interact with this painful process without needing the individuals that I'm in dynamic with to be bad and wrong? What if they're not bad and wrong?' And yet I still get to choose to exit and express my needs. I get to choose to make requests. I have all sorts of choices and I would never be aware of those choices if my energy was focused on being right and on how wronged I've been." - Kelly Brogan MD Links From Today's Show  Kelly Brogan, MD Sovereignty Series - 20% off with code "JOSH20" Own Your Self: The Surprising Path beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom by Kelly Brogan, MD Karpman Drama Triangle 535 Aaron Abke: The Law of ONE + How To Live In Love's Alignment Wild Wild Country Graham Hancock Sovereignty Seres American Circumcision Tom Cowan Om Rupani The Surrendered Wife: A Practical Guide To Finding Intimacy, Passion and Peace by Laura Doyle The Way of the Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Women, Work, and Sexual Desire by David Deida Dr. Stan Tatkin 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within Daily Mail: Disney executive who is the mother of a transgender and a pansexual child wants at least half of ALL future characters to be LGBTQIA or racial minorities Mike Dillard Jordan Peterson Aubrey Marcus No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model by Dick Schwartz Parts Work: An Illustrated Guide to Your Inner Life by Tom Holmes Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power by Carolyn Elliott Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - Save 20% with the code "JOSH20" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT, RED LIGHT FACE MASK, SAUNA BLANKET - Get 15% off with the code “JOSH15“ (link + code must be used together for discount) Cured Nutrition CBD - Save 20% with the CODE "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" ActivationProducts – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save $40 when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness + Wisdom Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Dr. Kelly Brogan Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube About Kelly Brogan MD Dr. Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist, author of the NY Times Bestselling book, A Mind of Your Own, Own Your Self, the children's book, A Time For Rain, and co-editor of the landmark textbook, Integrative Therapies for Depression.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Miriam Grossman discuss the grief and trauma associated with the Transgender movement, not just for those transitioning, but for the parents and families who now find themselves shunned and alienated if they refuse to affirm their own child's delusion. They also go into detail on the history of the ideology, the monstrosity of Dr. John Money, and his horrendous failed experiment on which he built his doctrines. Miriam Grossman MD is a physician, author, and public speaker. Before gender ideology was on anyone's radar, she warned parents about its dangers in her 2009 book, “You're Teaching My Child WHAT?” Dr. Grossman has been vocal for many years about the capture of her profession by ideologues, leading to dangerous and experimental treatments on children and betrayal of parents. Dr. Grossman was featured in the Daily Wire's hit documentary “What Is A Woman?” The author of four books, her work has been translated into eleven languages. After graduating with honors from Bryn Mawr College, Dr. Grossman attended New York University Medical School.  She completed an internship in pediatrics at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City, and a residency in psychiatry through Cornell University Medical College, followed by a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry. Dr. Grossman is board certified in psychiatry and in the sub-specialty of child and adolescent psychiatry. - Links - For Miriam Grossman MD: Lost in TransNation (Book) - https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Trans-Nation-Psychiatrists-Madness/dp/1510777741 You're Teaching My Child WHAT?

Thoughts about why the diabetes diagnosis is exploding Glucose vs. fructose - which is worse? The importance of fiber Quotes "It makes sense that the disease of alcohol and the disease of sugar should be the same, and that's why children now get type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease without alcohol." [5:01] "It turns out there are a whole lot of mitochondrial toxins out in our environment. But the mitochondrial toxin that you have the most control over, that you could deal with yourself in a flash and get rid of about 85% of the mitochondrial dysfunction in your body in one fell swoop, is the molecule fructose, which is one half of sugar."

If you've ever wanted to heal from illness, or feel better about your life, then do we have the Humor and Healing show for you.   I'll be talking with Dr. Bernie Siegel, about how to laugh your way to self-healing, and happiness.   Bernie Siegel is an American writer and retired pediatric surgeon, who writes on the relationship between the patient and the healing process and the best selling author of numerous books including Love, Medicine and Miracles, Love Animals and Miracles, The Art of Healing, and a phenomenal little audiobook Humor and Healing.   Topics Include: What does it mean to become a love warrior? What it means to send someone love and help change their life? What is 365 Prescriptions for the Soul? How do we heal from the feeling that we are a failure? What we can learn from stories about our life? What we can learn from Simon and Garfunkel? Why you want to wear a bandage when you are not injured! What is the importance of sharing what is ailing you with others? Why people never die, and what it means for you? What laughter means for our health? Why your attitude is so important for your survival? What we can learn from people who have a few months to live? What people have done when they were told they were dying that dramatically extended their lives? What does it mean to choose to live? What does it mean to take back the reigns of your life? How can parents “use love as your weapon”? What does it mean to breathe peace?   Dr. Bernie Siegel was born in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College. He holds membership in two scholastic honor societies, Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega Alpha and graduated with honors. His surgical training took place at Yale New Haven Hospital, West Haven Veteran's Hospital and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. He retired from practice as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale of general and pediatric surgery in 1989 to speak to patients and their caregivers.   In 1978 he originated Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group therapy utilizing patients' drawings, dreams, images and feelings. ECaP is based on “carefrontation,” a safe, loving therapeutic confrontation, which facilitates personal lifestyle changes, personal empowerment and healing of the individual's life. The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. He realized exceptional behavior is what we are all capable of.   Bernie, and his wife and coworker Bobbie, live in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. They have five children and eight grandchildren. Bernie and Bobbie have co-authored their children, books and articles. Their home with its many children, pets and interests resembled a cross between a family art gallery, museum, zoo and automobile repair shop. It still resembles these things, although the children are trying to improve its appearance in order to avoid embarrassment.   www.dailywoohoo.com - Sign up for my FREE daily newsletter for high-vibration content.   To find out more visit: https://amzn.to/3qULECz - Order Michael Sandler's book, "AWE, the Automatic Writing Experience" www.automaticwriting.com  - Automatic Writing Experience Course www.inspirenationuniversity.com - Michael Sandler's School of Mystics https://inspirenationshow.com/ -  www.dailywoohoo.com - Sign up for my FREE daily newsletter for high-vibration content. …….

Are we eating too much or are we eating poorly? Fatty liver, a preventable diseaseIf the liver receives too much fructose it cannot handle its excess but how much is too much?. The liver turns sugar into fat and alcohol into fat.  45% of Americans have fatty liver disease. Eating cereal, juices, at breakfast injures the liver, as it takes the excess and converts it into fat.The Latino population has a higher risk of consuming sugar, being more vulnerable, becoming insulin resistant and developing Diabetes 2.We will share with Dr. Lustig  graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital in 1983, and his clinical fellowship at UCSF in 1984. From there, he spent six years as a post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. Author of the book Metabolical: The Lure and Lies of Processed Foods, Nutrition and Modern Medicine, Fat Chance, The Hacking of the American Mind . Dr. Lustig has authored over 85 peer-reviewed articles and 30 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals.The effects of glucose and fructose.Glucose is the energy of life, it is so important that if it is not consumed, the body produces it.  It is not necessary to consume it for life or in excess. People do not need fructose, since it is three times sweeter than glucose and can cause the same cirrhosis as alcohol.Fruit is good but fruit juice is another story. The food industry sells juice as fruit but they are not the same. Fruit juice is harmful because they are processed products, which lose their nutritional value.Sugar is not dangerous because of its calories or because it is fattening. It is not a food.  When consumed in excess, it becomes an addictive toxin. Become your own health expert:To be aware of what we should do to take responsibility for our health it is important to take into account the following tests:- Abdominal circumference: it should be less than 101 in men and 88 in women.  - ALT test, liver function test, the maximum limit should be 25 but it has gone from 25 to 40, since almost everyone has a fatty liver. - Uric acid test: indirect measure of protein and sugar intake.  - Triglycerides in blood: They are a manifestation of the sugar in the organism.  They indicate what the liver is doing in the body. It is a way of testing insulin resistance. - Fasting insulin:   Insulin levels is not related to obesity, but to metabolic health, which is much more important. It is the most important test to doEating real food is what the population should be induced to eat.Two conditions that real food must have: protect the liver and feed the gut.  This means having a diet low in sugar and high in fiber.  The gut must be a barrier.  When it becomes full of toxins, it becomes permeable, food is not processed well and passes into the bloodstream. Leaky Gut or intestinal hyper permeability has been linked to autoimmune diseases as well as the so common allergies to food an other environmental toxins.https://www.facebook.com/CocoMarchNMDhttps://www.instagram.com/cocomarch.nmd/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyT1tdUjfnbA-4Cqrz8BwFghttps://blog.dracocomarch.comhttps://store.dracocomarch.com/es/https://podcast.comocurar.com/
