goGlow St. George Takeover: Becky on Spray Tans, Confidence, and Self-CareHost Samantha Parker interviews Becky, owner of  goGlow in St. George, Utah, as part of the show's takeover series. Becky shares goGlow's origins as a Minnesota-based franchise, why she and her husband chose the simple, high-impact model, and how the salon focuses on an elevated, comfortable, educational experience for clients, including men. They discuss memberships (once or twice monthly), prep and aftercare, touch-up products, and how goGlow's organic, vegan solutions use DHA (from sugar beets) to brown the top layer of skin; Becky also describes the salon's filtration system and mineral sunscreen options. The conversation emphasizes confidence boosts, reduced makeup, “winter blues” relief, and reframing self-care spending as wellness, plus local details like River Crossing location, late hours, and a $40 first-glow offer.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:56 goGlow Origin Story01:54 Tan in a Can Demo02:46 Why Becky Franchised03:36 Elevated Salon Experience04:06 First Time Nerves05:52 Guys and Spray Tans08:21 Memberships and Longevity09:50 How Dark to Go11:06 Confidence After a Glow12:54 Sun Sensitivity and SPF15:07 How Spray Tan Works15:27 How DHA Works15:46 Safety and Filtration16:33 Quick Prep Mitt Hack18:07 Spray and Go Lifestyle19:10 Self Care Without Guilt20:01 Routines and Rebooking21:17 Winter Blues Glow Up23:18 Opening in St George26:53 Aftercare Fixes and Products27:37 Booking Deals and Wrap UpgoGlow:Website: https://goglow.co/st-georgeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/goglow_stgeorge?igsh=dDVxM2s5Zmhxd2U1Want to Work with The Samantha Parker for Content Management CLICK HERE Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaparkershow YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@thesamanthaparker Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thesamanthaparker/

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Don't fall off your exercise ball but we are going to talk low carb and keto! Last week I completed the Long Play 33 with 35 miles- bonus miles as Andy, the race director, would say.  Based on a recently published study on nutrition during endurance events, I decided to decrease my glucose intake and add Ketone IQ shots to the mix.   I have a history of bonking in the later parts of a race.  Sometimes, it is more like the early part.  My stomach no longer accepts gels, I feel sluggish, and have assumed it was my mental attitude and the need for more fuel.   I figured I was dehydrated leading to a decrease in blood to the gut and inability to digest my intake resulting muscle glycogen depletion.  As soon as I started taking gels, I became dependent on them.  Once, I could not tolerate them, I was headed for low energy and the need to walk or quit.   My new hypothesis is that it is my brain's demand for fuel and my bloodstream dip in glucose that causes the bonk.  Wild swings in glucose and insulin followed by a decrease in my ability to burn fat as fuel.  So I tried a few new things this race and had a pleasant surprise.  I had another pleasant surprise with my follow up lipid and DHA levels.  Certainly, a tell all episode.   Thanks for listening.  Website: doctordulaney.com Email me at Jami@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Ebook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid-cc24587 Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney discount code: cleanwaterforsophie https://academic.oup.com/edrv/article/47/2/191/8432248

Dass das Thema Healthy Longevity eine enorme gesellschaftliche Relevanz besitzt, wurde für ihn spätestens dann greifbar, als er für eine große Dokumentation bei RTL Plus den Selbstversuch wagte. Wir analysieren in diesem Gespräch, warum eine erste Diagnose bei ihm zunächst für Erschütterung sorgte: Trotz eines scheinbar gesunden Lebensstils lag sein biologisches Alter drei Jahre über seinem chronologischen Alter. Wir tauchen tief in die wissenschaftliche Diagnostik ein, diskutieren die Präzision epigenetischer Uhren und hinterfragen kritisch die Mythen rund um die sogenannten Blue Zones von Okinawa bis Kalifornien. Dirk Steffens schildert eindrucksvoll, mit welchen präzisen Interventionen – von intermittierendem Fasten und Kraftsport bis hin zu spezifischen Supplements und Vagusnerv-Stimulation – er seinen Alterungsprozess nicht nur stoppte, sondern messbar umkehrte.In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: Warum ist das biologische Alter oft höher als das chronologische Alter, selbst bei vermeintlich gesundem Lebensstil? Was unterscheidet die Präzision epigenetischer Uhren von den Messsensoren herkömmlicher Smartwatches? Wie definieren Longevity-Kliniken den Unterschied zwischen einer Standard-Hausarztpraxis und einer ganzheitlichen Daten-Zusammenführung? Weshalb ist die sogenannte „Morbiditätskompression“ das eigentliche Ziel für ein gesundes Altern? Was steckt hinter dem Mythos der Blue Zone Okinawa und welche Rolle spielt die Realität der „Insel des Schweinefleisches“? Wie beeinflussen Investitionen aus dem Silicon Valley die Geschwindigkeit der weltweiten Longevity-Forschung? Warum ist Kraftsport ab dem 25. Lebensjahr eine der wichtigsten Versicherungen gegen spätere Sturzrisiken? Was bewirken Kälteschockenzyme im Körper und wie lassen sie sich durch tägliches Eisbaden triggern? Wie können Wirkstoff-Cocktails aus Metformin, DHEA und Wachstumshormonen die Thymusdrüse reaktivieren? Wie verändert eine konsequente Schlafhygiene und die Stimulation des Vagusnervs das allgemeine Wohlbefinden?

This podcast is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In today's episode, we take a closer look at DEXA scans — what they measure, what the numbers actually mean, and whether getting one is worth it.These scans are becoming more common in fitness and wellness settings, providing insight into body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat, bone density, and even something called “biological age.” But how should we interpret those numbers? What can they tell us about our health — and what can't they tell us?Using my own recent scan as a starting point, we explore how body composition data can serve as a baseline for understanding our bodies, tracking changes over time, and making more informed decisions about strength training, fat loss, and bone health.In this episode, we talk about:* The difference between total-body composition scans and clinical DEXA scans used to diagnose osteopenia or osteoporosis* What body fat percentage actually measures — and why it's different from BMI* The concept of body recomposition: reducing body fat while maintaining or gaining muscle* Why visceral fat matters for metabolic and cardiovascular health* What biological age means — and why it should be interpreted cautiously* How to understand T-scores in bone density reports* Why the hip and spine are the gold-standard sites for diagnostic bone density scansAnd we close by talking about what really matters most: what we do with the information once we have it — including how strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle choices influence fat, muscle, and bone as we age.

In this episode, Dr. Janice Walker, DHA, RN, inaugural Chief Nursing Officer of UF Health, discusses building an integrated nursing strategy, driving quality outcomes, and creating a culture of shared governance. She shares insights on recruitment, retention, and developing talent pipelines to strengthen workforce stability across the system.

Omega-3 fatty acids (particularly EPA and DHA) have a long history in nutrition and cardiovascular medicine, yet the clinical trial literature is often perceived as inconsistent. This episode examines why some randomized trials show clear benefit while others show null or mixed findings, and how differences in trial design, dose, population risk, and outcome selection can materially change what we observe. A key theme is separating (1) the persistent cultural narratives around omega-3s (including origin stories that do not hold up well to modern evidence) from (2) the more precise, mechanistic and clinical questions about where supplemental EPA/DHA may reduce cardiovascular risk. The discussion focuses heavily on understanding heterogeneity: why "omega-3 supplementation" is not a single, uniform exposure, and why subgroup patterns (e.g., secondary prevention, higher baseline triglycerides, and higher doses) may explain much of the apparent conflict in the evidence.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

Die Relevanz einer präzisen Ernährung für Healthy Longevity steht im Zentrum unseres Dialogs, wobei Prof. Michalsen betont, dass die moderne Naturheilkunde die einzige wissenschaftlich fundierte Antwort auf die Zunahme chronischer Erkrankungen darstellt. Wir analysieren, warum kalorische Restriktion die am besten gesicherte Methode zur Lebensverlängerung ist und weshalb ein „leichter Hunger“ beim Verlassen des Tisches die Regel Nummer eins sein sollte. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der differenzierten Betrachtung von Zuckertypen wie Fruktose und Glukose sowie der Bedeutung der „Matrix“ von Lebensmitteln, die über die Geschwindigkeit des Blutzuckeranstiegs entscheidet. Zudem erörtern wir die Bedeutung von kontinuierlichem Glukose-Monitoring (CGM) als diagnostisches Werkzeug, um individuelle Stoffwechselreaktionen auf Kohlenhydrate wie Kartoffeln oder Reis besser zu verstehen.  In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen:  Warum ist kalorische Restriktion die am besten gesicherte Erkenntnis der Longevity-Forschung?  Was verbirgt sich hinter den drei goldenen Regeln für eine optimale Ernährung?  Wie beeinflusst die Lebensmittel-Matrix die Aufnahme von Fruktose in der Leber?  Weshalb ist Fruktose in Früchten unbedenklich, in industriellen Produkten jedoch riskant?  Was genau ist der „Nutritionismus“ und warum greift er zu kurz?  Wie können Ballaststoffe die Aufnahme von Kalorien aus Zucker und Fett reduzieren?  Warum empfiehlt Prof. Michalsen trotz des Ballaststoffgehalts keinen Vollkornreis?  Was passiert beim Erhitzen und Abkühlen von Stärke in Kartoffeln und Nudeln?  Wie wirkt sich die Farbe von Gemüse auf den Gehalt an schützenden Polyphenolen aus?  Warum sollten wir Bitterstoffe wieder mehr in unseren Speiseplan integrieren?  Weshalb ist Methionin in tierischen Proteinen ein kritischer Faktor für das Altern?  Was ist der Vorteil von fermentierten Milchprodukten gegenüber Frischmilch?  Weitere Informationen zu Prof. Andreas Michalsen, findest du hier:  https://naturheilkunde.immanuel.de/person/andreas-michalsen/  Du interessierst dich für Gesunde Langlebigkeit (Longevity) und möchtest ein Leben lang gesund und fit bleiben, dann folge mir auch auf den sozialen Kanälen bei Instagram, TikTok, Facebook oder YouTube. https://www.instagram.com/nina.ruge.official https://www.tiktok.com/@nina.ruge.official https://www.facebook.com/NinaRugeOffiziell https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe2d1hLARB60z2hg039l9g   Disclaimer: Ich bin keine Ärztin und meine Inhalte ersetzen keine medizinische Beratung.

In this week's podcast episode in the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, I bring up the study that sparked that concern. I don't ignore things like this. I don't pretend they don't exist. If there's research being talked about, I want you to know about it. But here are the actual facts. The study was done in mice. The mice were made to consume about 40% of their diet in olive oil. And the rest of their diet was an obesogenic, high-carbohydrate diet designed to promote weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. That is not a Mediterranean diet. That is not olive oil drizzled over vegetables and salmon. That is not real life. It was a laboratory model designed to stress metabolism. Context matters.

In today's episode, we talk about why bone density begins to decline and what actually builds strong, resilient bones — at every age and every stage of life, including perimenopause and postmenopause.Now, before you think, “Well, that's not me — I'm in my 20s… my 30s… my 40s,” please give this episode a listen, because the strength of your bones at 60 is determined by what you do at 25.This is Part 1, focused on nutrition and hormones — and it lays the groundwork for what comes next: Part 2, where we'll talk about mechanical stress, weight-bearing exercise, resistance training, balance work — and why movement is non-negotiable for long-term bone health.In this episode, we explore:* When we reach peak bone mass and why that matters* Why bone loss accelerates earlier than many women expect* What perimenopause is (and why it matters for bone remodeling)* How bone remodeling works — and the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts* Why estrogen is central to bone density in women* How to know where you stand: DEXA scans, blood work, and risk factors* Why “normal” blood calcium doesn't tell you what you think it tells you* The nutrition foundation for strong bones * What can work against bone health over time (and what to watch for)

Episodio #759 ✦ ¿Y si tu energía naciese de luz, agua y leptina, de verdad?ㅤ

Anne Ghesquière reçoit Guillaume Fond, médecin psychiatre, chercheur et enseignant à l'université. Peut-on soulager le stress, l'anxiété, la dépression, le déclin cognitif ou le brouillard mental grâce à des compléments alimentaires bien choisis ?

Hello, all you and the Relentless Health Tribe trying to figure out how to do right by patients and the folks footing the bill. Welcome to it. This is episode 499, one episode before episode 500. So, come back next week for that one. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. All right, so today, let's talk about the inches that are all around us. Let's find some. Musculoskeletal spend, otherwise known as MSK spend, for any given plan sponsor adds up to the tune of something like 20% or 30% of total plan spending, depending on the member demographic. MSK rolls in at $16 PMPM, I just saw, according to a report Keith Passwater sent me a couple of weeks ago. It's the third most costly spend apparently overall. And it's easy to see why, right? On any given day, odds are good any given plan member is gonna do something that, in hindsight, was fairly obviously a bad idea and wind up getting hurt in some low-acuity way. For example, I remember that one time I twisted my ankle on a curb getting outta my car. Given the right space, enough time, and concentration, I can do the worst parking job you've ever seen in your life and manage to twist my ankle in the process. But I digress. Here's the point. MSK spend adds up really fast. Add to that something like 50% of spine surgeries are said to be unnecessary. The same thing goes true from injuries like twisted ankles, for example, that would have healed themselves without an ER visit, without any intervention aside from ice, rest, and elevate. Because it turns out that something like 80% of those twisted-ankle, banged-up-the-back types of MSK injuries are actually low acuity, and a huge percentage of those will heal by themselves. On that point, let me bring in some context here, some late-breaking news. I was reading Dana Prommel's newsletter. She wrote, and I'm reading this, she wrote, "The 2026 National Healthcare Expenditure data reports are out, and it is another sobering reflection of our current system. Personal healthcare spending has surged by over 8%, and our healthcare spend as a share of the GDP has followed that same aggressive trajectory." Then Dana writes, "The most troubling takeaway from the 2026 report is the lack of a 'health dividend.' Despite [this] 8% increase in spending, we aren't seeing a corresponding 8% increase in longevity, wellness, or chronic disease management. People aren't getting significantly healthier; they are just getting more 'care.' And that 'care' isn't always good care, or the right care, or care by the right type of clinician, at the right time, in the right setting." Is that not the perfect segue or what? Because this is what we're talking about on the show today in regard to, again, MSK care—care that can wind up costing millions of dollars across plan members, and it might be unnecessary because, again, the twisted ankle or the pain in the lower back would have healed itself without any care, without an ER visit. But if an ER visit was had, that patient probably is gonna wind up with a bunch of imaging. Probably is gonna wind up with a referral to a surgeon. And now there's a surgery scheduled, and the patient has been off work for however long all that took. There's a lot of direct and indirect costs that may or may not add up to any given health dividend or health span or whatever you wanna call it—better quality of life.   Why does all this happen? How does it happen? One reason is what Dr. Jay Kimmel calls the white space of MSK care. This is where a patient does a truly breathtaking job parking the car, twists her ankle, starts to swell up, and now a decision has to be made: Go to the ER. Go to urgent care. Go home. Or what if it's a parent making this choice for a kid? In the olden days, maybe that patient would've called up his or her longtime family doctor and asked what to do, and maybe if that longtime family doctor didn't know, he or she would have called up the local ortho and gotten their opinion. Or maybe the two were sitting together in the doctor's lounge at the time, or maybe they rounded together in the hospital and, and, and … There used to be lots of opportunities for spontaneous questions and answers and curbside consults. But not today most of the time, really, unless you're a patient with a doctor in the family. But even for a PCP, who wants an ortho consult? Amy Scanlan, MD, and I discussed this quite a bit in an earlier episode (EP402). There's no doctor lounges anymore. There's no coffee klatch down in radiology either. There's just a lot of cultural shifts, in other words. But all of this, everything I have said thus far, all adds up to one big takeaway: These excess costs that don't have commensurate improved clinical outcomes, they happen because patients are on their own to triage themselves. They look at their black-and-blue whatever, or they're standing there listening to their kid cry and they are deciding what to do. And the thing is, if they choose the ER—because, again, they don't have a doctor, anybody they can just call with the right kind of clinical background—once they head into that ER and sit there for six hours and demand an MRI because now it has to be worth their time because they sat there for six hours; but now there's a false positive and the ER docs are being conservative because of malpractice or whatever and they refer them to some sort of surgeon … Look, everybody's doing their best with the information that they have at the time, but you can see how easy it is for a person to avoidably wind up costing a lot of money for a musculoskeletal injury that would have healed by itself. So, yeah, let's talk about how we can get patients some help in that so-called white space. How can we get them, triage before the triage, as I managed to say more than once in the conversation that follows? Let's get them on a good trajectory to start. Today, my guest is Dr. Jay Kimmel. Dr. Kimmel is an orthopedic surgeon, and he's been in practice in Connecticut for over 35 years. He and Steve Schutzer, MD, co-founded Upswing Health. I talked with Dr. Steve Schutzer about Centers of Excellence in an earlier episode (EP294). Upswing Health provides members with the opportunity to talk with an athletic trainer within 15 minutes and an orthopedic specialist within 24 hours. So, instead of having a panic attack of indecision and ultimately winding up in the ER, getting coughed on in the waiting room, members have somebody helping them in this white space so they can get triaged before the triage. I need to thank Upswing Health. I am so appreciative they donated some financial support to cover the costs of this episode.

Before we talk about symptoms, hormones, or interventions we have to examine the words we use to describe women, aging, and the most natural biological transitions of our lives. Because language doesn't just reflect our attitudes—it actively shapes how we experience our bodies, our worth, and our place in the world.Drawing from personal experience, cultural history, etymology, and media portrayals, I explore why menopause and women's aging have been shrouded in silence, stigma, and shame—and how deeply sexist assumptions are embedded in the very words we use.In this episode, we explore:* Why women “age out” of relevance while men “age into” status* The origins of words like spinster, crone, hag, hysterical, and old maid—and what they reveal about cultural bias* How euphemisms around menstruation and menopause reinforce secrecy and shame* Why even the word menopause frames it as a loss rather than a transition* The surprising animal origins of words (“animalogies”) like estrus, estrogen, and crone* How media has (rarely) addressed menopause* Why reclaiming language is a powerful act of self-respect, agency, and healingThis conversation is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—and for anyone who loves, lives with, or wants to better support them.

This episode is part of the "Inches Are All Around Us" series looking for all the little pockets—inches, if you will—that comprise the greater than $1 trillion in healthcare waste in this country annually. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Many of these inches, if we hack them out, will actually improve patient care because these inches are just like the friction that's in the middle. To this end, I started thinking about FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers), which are (these FQHCs in this context, if you think about it) kind of a great laboratory for scrappy and amazing case studies about finding and cutting out waste with some serious fiscal discipline. The thing with FQHCs and why they are great places to I spy inches of waste is really because if an FQHC has a budget shortfall, they cannot solve it by cost shifting to commercial patients, commercial members, commercial plans. They have no commercial patients.  Also, they have a patient population that many would consider challenging, and they cannot restrict access. They gotta make do with what they have. They must have actually true fiscal discipline. They either figure out how to be efficient, or their patient population does not get care. But what tipped me over the edge to revisit this episode from 2021 with Gary Campbell—who is the CEO of an FQHC, by the way—I picked the show to revisit because of my conversation with Nikki King, DHA, that I had earlier this year (EP470). Nikki and I caught up, and she is now the CEO of an FQHC in Indiana. I had interviewed Nikki, by the way, about rural health a few years ago (EP338). So, go back and listen to that if anything I say today you find intriguing for other reasons. Tribe, this is interesting to think about what I'm about to tell you. Really. I've been thinking about it for six months. I wanna start out here recapping my aforementioned catch-up conversation with Nikki King as the lead-in to my conversation with Gary Campbell to follow. And to be specific here, Gary Campbell is the CEO of an FQHC in Virginia called Johnson Health Center; and Nikki King is CEO at Alliance Health Centers in Indiana. Let me tell you one thing that Nikki King did. There are many things that she did, but here's one that she told me about. Nikki realized after talking and listening to their patients that one of the biggest barriers to getting care at her FQHC for patients was no transportation. Also, as most FQHCs, they were short on funds. So, doing things like free Ubers or something like that was not an option. So, you know what Nikki did? She thought about where her patients are. For example, most referrals to their addiction treatment services came from the courthouse—a judge remanding, if that's the right word, someone to treatment. So, two birds with one stone style, Nikki marched over to the courthouse facilities person and asked if they had any open office space at the courthouse, you know, work from home and all of that. Maybe there were some open offices. Well, the courthouse did. They had some open offices. So, now rent-free or almost rent-free, I don't, I'm not sure, when a judge says to somebody, "Go get addiction treatment," that judge can also point down the hall and the patient can just walk over. Nikki did the same thing, setting up a clinic in a day care center. She set up a clinic in a homeless shelter and right by a big basketball court. You compare and contrast this, I don't know, "just get it done" approach to all of the times that you hear about "some cash-strapped entity" who decides the best thing to do immediately is new construction. Pay to build brick and mortar and then in perpetuity, of course, pay all the costs and the snow removal and the security and the utilities and repair for that new construction. And they could be an FQHC building new buildings—one of the less scrappy ones—but it also could be a big, consolidated health system or anybody in between. It's amazing how many times you hear "razor-thin margins," and then you hear "new construction" in the same sentence. I'm like, "Yeah … gotcha. Upsize." Call it my Pennsylvania Dutch and Bronx heritage. But yeah … head exploding. That was a tangent. Bottom line, however, I say all this to say FQHCs (the ones with great leadership, at least) are a wonderful case study to look for insights on how to operate in an environment that cannot rely on, again, raising commercial rates and cost shifting to balance the budget, right? Let's not forget, there are two very different ways to end up with no profit: One is genuine struggle. The other is simply being very good at spending every dollar that is given to you. For plan sponsors, this is a vital distinction, regardless of how loud anybody cries poor, any clinical partner who lacks fiscal discipline isn't struggling; they're inefficient. And we do not have a market in healthcare to be able to tell who's struggling versus who is inefficient. So, yeah … keep that in mind and listen to episode 490 and 492 after this one with Shane Cerone and Sam Flanders, MD, for more on the whole "there's no market" theme, as well as more on the fiscal discipline topic. But again, this is why FQHCs are such a good case study here, because there's an upper limit to how much money they have. In most circumstances—I mean, barring some big donation or something like that—but under most circumstances, they have a revenue cap that they have to be disciplined enough to work within. Okay … one last thing before we kick into the show today. I wanna be really clear here. Fiscal discipline isn't something that any individual doctor or nurse or other clinician can tackle in a vacuum. Or even any given administrator. It is a leadership imperative. Great leadership doesn't just manage the clinical side. It takes accountability for the administrative waste that keeps margins thin and prices high. So, here's actionable advice for anybody listening, regardless of what you may or may not have to do with FQHCs. If you're a plan sponsor looking for a clinical partner, consider, like, what Nikki King is doing and the thinking that Gary Campbell is gonna talk about as a benchmark. Real value comes from finding the organizations that treat fiscal discipline as kind of a mission critical strategy, because these days, with all the affordability issues, it is financial toxicity is clinical toxicity. I mean, maybe you can find an organization that actually does unit cost accounting. Listen to the show with Mick Connors, MD (EP495). Okay … as I said earlier, my guest today is Gary Campbell, who I spoke with in 2021—so this is a deep cut from the archives, but it's also a really great show. Gary, as I said earlier, is CEO of Johnson Health Center, which is an FQHC, in Lynchburg, Virginia. He's also the president of Impact2Lead.

What does it actually mean to be vegan? For most people, the answer is simple—until it isn't.This week on Food for Thought (celebrating 20 years!), I explore what happens after someone stops eating animal products…when the (seemingly) neat definition starts running into the messy reality of the world we live in.Most of us don't actually live by strict definitions, but when real-life scenarios arise that defy simple answers, conflict and confusion can follow, leading to questions like:What about plant-based foods made on shared equipment?What about burgers cooked on the same grill as meat?What about taking life-saving medications that may have been tested on animalsWhat about sugar filtered with bone char?And then there's the bigger question underneath all of it: Who gets to decide what “counts” as vegan? After all, this isn't the Boy Scouts, where you take a pledge, earn merit badges, and defer to a Scoutmaster. Why does it feel like that to some people?In this episode, I talk about how an intention rooted in compassion and wellness can unintentionally morph into something else entirely—a purity test. One that confuses the public, exhausts vegans, and sometimes pushes people away from even making kinder, healthier choices in the first place.I also revisit the origins of the word vegan and why it was never meant to function like religious dietary law, a moral checklist, or a tool for policing one another.In this episode, we look at:* Why “becoming vegan” isn't about dogma or doctrine* How perfectionism undermines progress* Why some grey areas are personal lines—not universal rules* And why focusing on purity distracts us from the real problem: the billions of animals brought into this world only to be killedIf you've ever struggled with grey areas as a vegan, this episode is for you. And if you're not vegan but have been turned off by what looks like rigidity or contradiction, this conversation is for you too.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-01-2025: An emailer asks about omega-3 supplementation for memory at age 72. Dr. Dawn advises checking that fish oil capsules contain adequate DHA—at least 1,000 mg—since many omega-3 products have low DHA levels. She notes Medicare covers the same testing at standard labs as proprietary labs like OmegaQuant that charge patients directly. Beyond omega-3s, she emphasizes glucose control (hemoglobin A1c below 5.6) since the enzyme that breaks down insulin also clears beta-amyloid, and weight training to raise brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes new synapse formation essential for memory. Dr. Dawn reviews Popular Science's top 2025 health innovation: eye drops from Lens Therapeutics containing aceclidine that correct age-related farsightedness for 10 hours. The drops shrink the pupil to increase depth of field, improving near vision by three or more lines on eye charts within 30 minutes without affecting distance vision. Side effects include eye irritation, dimmed night vision, and headache. She describes Duke University's breakthrough allowing heart transplants from circulatory death donors using an on-table reanimation technique. This could expand the pediatric donor pool by 20%—critical since up to 20% of children die waiting for transplants. Dr. Dawn celebrates CAR-T immunotherapy for multiple myeloma, which saved her husband's life. Of 97 heavily pretreated patients, 38% achieved complete remission still present at five years, with over 50% total survival. The therapy removes T-cells, uses CRISPR to add receptors targeting cancer cell antigens, then reinfuses the modified cells. She highlights a UC Davis study showing remote blood pressure monitoring with home technology, education, and coaching dropped patients' average blood pressure from 150/80 to 125/74 in months—low-tech with high impact. Dr. Dawn explains the Nano Knife for prostate cancer, which uses localized electrical pulses delivered through thin wires to destroy tumors while sparing surrounding nerves. This minimally invasive approach could reduce erectile dysfunction and incontinence common with traditional surgery. She describes Gilead's Sunlenca, a twice-yearly injection for HIV prevention that's 99% effective. At $14,000 per injection in the US, proceeds help fund access in resource-limited countries where it can be distributed like a vaccination. Dr. Dawn discusses Journavx (suzetrigine), a new non-opioid pain medication working on sodium channels to block pain signals before reaching the brain. At $30 for 50 pills on GoodRx, it offers an alternative for surgical pain in patients with addiction history or genetic vulnerability to opioid dependence. She details the landmark case of Baby KJ, the first person to receive personalized CRISPR gene therapy. Born with a CPS1 enzyme deficiency causing toxic ammonia buildup, KJ was too small for liver transplant. Scientists identified his specific mutation and used CRISPR base editing delivered via lipid nanoparticles to correct a single DNA letter—changing an A to G—in his liver cells which restored enough function to be discharged home. Dr. Dawn reports surprising findings that COVID mRNA vaccines amplify cancer immunotherapy. Lung cancer patients who received COVID vaccination within 100 days of checkpoint inhibitor treatment had 56% three-year survival versus 31% for unvaccinated patients. The mechanism is unknown but may involve mRNA generally alerting the immune system. She revisits research showing Zostavax shingles vaccination reduced dementia risk by 20% over seven years. A natural experiment in Wales—where an age cutoff created comparable vaccinated and unvaccinated groups—provided strong evidence that preventing herpes zoster inflammation protects brain health. Dr. Dawn concludes with Huntington's disease breakthrough: microRNA therapy delivered by virus directly into the brain slowed disease progression by 75% over three years. The microRNA binds to Huntington protein mRNA, preventing ribosome translation and toxic protein production. Some patients returned to work; others expected to need wheelchairs are still walking.

To support this work and receive perks and exclusive engagement, please consider becoming paid subscriber (but don't go anywhere if you're a free subscriber)!Welcome to 2026—and to the 20th anniversary year of Food for Thought! I'm kicking off the new year with an episode about stretching our comfort zones through small, intentional practices that help us live with more clarity, resilience, and purpose.In this episode, I explore:* Why the idea of “doing hard things” isn't new at all—and how it's rooted in Stoic philosophy* What thinkers like Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius actually meant by hardship (hint: it wasn't suffering for suffering's sake)* How we can manifest this ancient practice in our modern lives* Why trends like cold plunges miss the point if we focus only on promised (and alleged) health benefits* How Dry January fits perfectly into this framework—not as a detox or moral stance, but as an experiment in awareness, habit, and choiceI also reflect on looking back at 2025—what I learned, what I practiced, what I shared with you—and why I still believe that setting intentions (whether for 24 hours or 365 days) is a powerful way to orient our lives.If you're feeling curious about:* Doing something different this year* Letting go of what's familiar just long enough to learn from it* Or giving yourself a gentle nudge instead of a total overhaul…this episode is for you.

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske welcomes back Rebecca Rose of inClover Pet Supplements for an in-depth conversation focused on skin and coat health, supplementation, and what truly supports pets from the inside out. Using Toni's own rescue dog Grayson as a real-world example, the discussion explores how nutrition and targeted supplements can dramatically improve skin recovery and coat quality after early health challenges. Rebecca breaks down the science behind inClover's Skin & Coat supplement, highlighting the role of clinically tested levels of biotin, zinc, and omega-3s, and explains why sourcing—particularly algae-based DHA—matters for both effectiveness and environmental sustainability. The conversation emphasizes repairing skin at the cellular level rather than relying solely on topical solutions. They also dive into label transparency, inactive ingredients, and the importance of NASC certification, offering listeners a clearer understanding of how to evaluate supplements responsibly. From dogs and cats to horses and even zoo animals, the episode reinforces a core message: thoughtful nutrition and daily supplementation help pets stay resilient in the face of stress, aging, and environmental challenges.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. The Daytona 50 mile race is in the books.  It was my first road ultramarathon, and I continue to learn a little something at each race.  I believe the learning points can be applied to any new task or long term goal.   1. Break a goal down into small parts.  This seems obvious but the trick is staying in the small part and not looking into the daunting future.  2. Have a strategy for each segment before the segment begins and follow the plan.  Variables come up, there is always the unknown, but a strategy is a must for a baseline. 3. What is your time frame? Can you stick to it? Have you ever started a trip without a time plan?  The progress is not always what you want.  4. Stiffness is a real concern with sitting during an ultramarathon.  However, you can get started again.  5. Nutrition is best handled without relying on an aid station for solid foods for the most part. Its is not a buffet.  6. Salty britches is a must for blister prevention.  I hope you enjoy my story. Thanks for listening.  Are marathons bad for your heart?  I will review a study that looks at imaging and blood test.  Bottom line is symptoms matter when it comes to testing accuracy.  Want to get healthier with nutrition and exercise?

This podcast is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In this episode of Food for Thought, I explore the long, often-forgotten history of abstaining from meat during Advent and other Christian fasting periods, and how that tradition actually aligns beautifully with a modern vegan lifestyle.Drawing from my own Catholic upbringing, I look at how rites and rituals like Lent and Advent once emphasized simplicity, self-restraint, and giving up animal products, and how language, church rules, and holiday foods still carry traces of that history.I also invite listeners—religious or not—to consider their own version of conscious “fasting,” and I touch on traditional Advent/Christmas foods like Stollen that grew out of these practices.Here's the video version of the introduction to the re-broadcast:In this episode, you'll learn:* Historically, Christians spent more days not eating meat (and often other animal products) than eating it, especially around Lent and Advent.* The idea that being vegan is “incompatible” with culture or religion is new; religious abstinence from animal products is centuries old.* Words like “Carnival” (from carne levare – “remove meat”) and traditions like Meatfare/Cheesefare Sundays reflect this meatless history.* Advent used to be a serious season of fasting and abstinence, not just a time of treats, shopping, and countdown calendars.* Different Christian traditions (especially Eastern and Ethiopian Orthodox) still practice very strict, essentially vegan fasts for many days of the year.* Over time, church rules relaxed, and meat-eating became normalized and constant, while fasting became optional or symbolic.* You don't have to be religious to embrace the spirit of fasting: you can choose to simplify your diet, give something up (like alcohol, sugar, eating out, or processed foods), and let the feast feel more meaningful at the end.* Many beloved holiday foods—like Stollen, fruitcake, and other Advent breads and sweets—arose from these traditions of fasting, scarcity, and then feasting.* Part 2 will dive into Christmas feasting and traditional foods tied to the 12 Days of Christmas and Twelfth Night.Support the PodcastTo keep Food for Thought Podcast ad-free and accessible to all, I rely on the support of paid subscribers.

Upgrade your biology in 10 minutes with this week's rundown from Dave Asprey. This episode breaks down the six biggest stories in biohacking and health tech, from sleep hormones to mitochondrial rejuvenation, giving you the data you need to live longer, think faster, and perform at your peak. This episode covers: • The Melatonin Heart Warning Everyone Missed A major new study from the American Heart Association reveals that long-term melatonin users face nearly twice the risk of heart failure and 3.5 times higher hospitalization rates. Once considered a harmless sleep aid, melatonin's hormonal effects may disrupt cardiovascular recovery, testosterone, and blood pressure regulation when used nightly. The takeaway: melatonin is a short-term circadian reset tool, not a forever supplement. Source: American Heart Association — newsroom.heart.org/news/long-term-use-of-melatonin-supplements-to-support-sleep-may-have-negative-health-effects • Bryan Johnson's Extreme Microplastics Detox Biohacker Bryan Johnson shared lab-verified results showing an 85% reduction in microplastics in his semen after one year of daily 200°F dry saunas followed by ice packs on the groin. It's not peer reviewed yet, but it'ssparking global discussion about environmental toxins, fertility, and detoxification. Whether or not you follow his protocol, this study highlights how widespread microplastics have become and how heat, sweat, and smarter exposure control may help fight back. Source: New York Post — nypost.com/2025/10/23/health/biohacker-bryan-johnson-got-rid-of-85-of-microplastics-from-his-semen • Urolithin A: The Mitochondrial Molecule That Strengthens Immunity A peer-reviewed human trial published in Nature Aging found that four weeks of daily Urolithin A (Mitopure®) supplementation improved immune function in adults aged 45–70, increasing youthful CD8 T-cells, natural killer cells, and mitochondrial performance inside immune cells. By triggering mitophagy, your body's cleanup process for old mitochondria, Urolithin A enhances energy, resilience, and immune strength. It's the clearest evidence yet that we can modulate immune aging through mitochondrial renewal. Head to timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order. Source: BioSpace — biospace.com/press-releases/timeline-continues-to-build-the-most-clinically-researched-longevity-products-targeting-immune-brain-and-muscle-aging • Google's New AI Model That “Talks” to Cells Google DeepMind and Yale launched Cell2Sentence-Scale, an open-source AI model that lets scientists query cellular pathways in natural language. The system can predict how cells transition from healthy to cancerous states and identify molecular switches that might reverse those changes. It's compressing years of biology into days and democratizing research for small labs and independent scientists alike. Isn't AI a beautiful thing? Source: Google DeepMind — blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemma-ai-cancer-therapy-discovery • Omega-3s Calm the Brain and the Temper A massive new meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials shows omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) reduce aggression by up to 28%. That includes both reactive anger and planned aggression. By lowering neuroinflammation and stabilizing cell membranes, omega-3s appear to balance dopamine and serotonin, proving that healthy fats aren't just heart food, they're emotional regulators too. Source: Science Alert — sciencealert.com/one-dietary-supplement-was-shown-to-reduce-aggression-by-up-to-28 • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Finally Gets a Biomarker For the first time, researchers have developed a blood test that accurately identifies chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) using DNA methylation and micro-RNA expression patterns. This breakthrough distinguishes CFS from other autoimmune and viral conditions, marking a turning point for millions of patients long dismissed by traditional medicine. It's proof that data-driven diagnostics can transform how we understand mystery illnesses.
