    Low AMH Is Not a Diagnosis: A Case That Changed the Outcome Without Chasing the Number

    If you've been told your AMH is low and IVF is your only option, or you already went through IVF and it didn't work, this episode will change how you interpret that number and what decision actually deserves your attention next. Here's what most patients are never told: AMH reflects egg quantity, not egg capability. It helps clinics predict medication response, but it does not explain why eggs develop poorly, why embryos arrest, or why outcomes fail to improve despite protocol changes. When IVF fails, the cycle itself becomes valuable data if you know how to interpret it across systems instead of treating it as bad luck or age alone. In this episode, I walk through a real case where the outcome changed not because the AMH changed, but because the physiological environment influencing egg development was finally evaluated. This is not about avoiding IVF or chasing numbers. It is about understanding what the data is actually telling you so you can make a better next decision. In this episode, you'll learn: Why AMH predicts stimulation response, not egg health or developmental capacity How inflammatory load quietly interferes with ovarian signaling and embryo development Why nutrient absorption and utilization patterns matter more than supplement volume How brain–hormone signaling influences ovulation timing, progesterone, and cycle predictability Why nervous system state shapes immune balance, implantation readiness, and resilience under treatment stress I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. This episode is for you if: You were told your AMH is low, and no one explained what that actually means IVF failed, response was poor, or embryos stopped developing without clear answers You want better interpretation before repeating another protocol or escalating treatment

    Singer-songwriter and Lyme disease advocate Jesse Ruben joins the Tick Boot Camp Podcast for an incredibly honest, emotional, and deeply educational conversation about chronic Lyme disease, identity loss, treatment failure, unconventional healing, relapse, nervous system trauma, and the role of music and community in survival. Jesse's journey spans more than a decade and includes misdiagnosis, years of antibiotic treatment, experimental therapies, remission, relapse during the pandemic, gut microbiome restoration, nervous system healing, and ultimately a renewed sense of purpose through advocacy and art. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating chronic Lyme disease, supporting someone who is sick, or questioning whether healing is still possible. Jesse Ruben's Early Life and Music Career Jesse grew up outside Philadelphia, surrounded by music, creativity, and curiosity. While he jokes that his songwriting degree was “a very expensive, useless piece of paper,” the competitive creative environment of music school helped sharpen his storytelling voice. By his early 20s, Jesse was living in New York City, touring, running marathons, and building momentum as an independent musician. He had just completed his third New York City Marathon, was in peak physical condition, and his career was accelerating—until his health began to unravel. The Onset of Illness: When Lyme Disease Took Everything Jesse's first red flag appeared when he became short of breath climbing subway stairs, despite being a marathon runner. Soon after, nausea, dizziness, headaches, neurological symptoms, and crushing fatigue followed. On Christmas Day 2012, Jesse developed what seemed like a flu that never went away. Over the following months, symptoms escalated dramatically: Severe fatigue that made basic movement impossible Brain fog and memory loss Crawling sensations under the skin Air hunger and dizziness Anxiety, depression, and mood changes Weight loss and neurological dysfunction Despite seeing 15 doctors over nine months, Jesse received conflicting diagnoses ranging from vitamin deficiencies to fibromyalgia and lupus. Every test came back “normal.” Insurance denied coverage. Doctors told him he would “have to live with it.” During a national tour, Jesse was so debilitated that a friend physically lifted him onto the stage to perform, then carried him back to the van afterward. Eventually, through relentless self-research, Jesse discovered a symptom list online that finally connected the dots: Lyme disease. Diagnosis and Early Treatment Failure Jesse was ultimately diagnosed at the Morrison Center in New York City, where testing confirmed: Lyme disease Babesia Mycoplasma His initial treatment path included: 6 months of oral doxycycline 18 months of IV azithromycin Antiparasitics Mepron (for Babesia) Antifungals, antivirals, supplements, and Chinese herbs Despite years of treatment, nothing produced lasting improvement. Jesse describes his life during this period as being reduced to pill schedules, doctor visits, and survival mode. The Game Changer: Chelation and Ozone Therapy After nearly three years with minimal progress, Jesse's provider, Dr. Gerald (“Jerry”) T. Simons at the Morrison Center, suggested a more experimental approach: chelation combined with ozone therapy. Jesse underwent IV chelation and ozone therapy multiple times per week for several months. The results were dramatic. Nearly all of Jesse's symptoms resolved, and for the first time, he felt like himself again. Even years later, booster ozone treatments helped stop symptom flares before they escalated.

    One Year On: Alex Gulland's Journey into Practice – Confidentiality in Counselling Case Studies In Episode 362 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore working with clients who have a psychiatric diagnosis, considering how to approach this work ethically, including navigating risk, understanding medication, and maintaining person-centred care. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory catches up with Alex Gulland, a year after she qualified, to hear what the transition from student to practitioner has really been like – from building a client base to discovering a passion for equine-assisted therapy. And finally in ‘Student Services', Ken and Rory explore how to protect client confidentiality when writing case studies – including anonymisation techniques and data protection guidance. Sarah Henry joins to share her frontline insights into balancing academic and ethical responsibilities. Working with Clients Who Have a Psychiatric Diagnosis [starts at 03:17 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore working with clients who have a psychiatric diagnosis, unpacking the complexities of staying within professional competence while offering relational, therapeutic support. Key points discussed include: Understanding diagnoses like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia helps reduce fear and supports ethical, informed practice. Therapists must see the person first – not the label or diagnosis – and listen to what the client needs from therapy. Medication, risk, and involvement with community mental health teams should be explored during initial assessments. Supervision is essential when working with clients who have complex mental health needs, especially during episodes of active distress or psychosis. Counsellors should seek CPD to increase confidence and competence in this area, and avoid making assumptions about diagnosis severity. One Year On: Alex Gulland's Journey into Practice [starts at 26:53 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory reconnects with Alex Gulland to hear how her first year as a qualified counsellor has unfolded – from business decisions to developing her niche. Key points from this conversation include: Building a client base takes time and persistence; marketing and directory presence matter. Accreditation and professional registration offer reassurance but are not always decisive factors for clients. Combining freelance roles in training with private practice has provided income and valuable experience. Alex shares how equine-assisted therapy has become a core part of her practice, offering creative, non-verbal connection. Continued learning, especially in areas like attachment theory and shadow work, has been central to her growth. Confidentiality in Counselling Case Studies [starts at 55:18 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken provide a detailed guide on how to write case studies while protecting client identity – a key consideration in counselling education. Key points include: Use anonymisation techniques such as pseudonyms, vague job titles, and generalised locations to remove identifying details. Only include information directly relevant to the assignment question – avoid unnecessary specifics or rare events. Gain informed consent where possible, and understand awarding body and agency policies on client data use. Refer to BACP guidance, ICO anonymisation principles, and supervisor support to ensure ethical compliance. Sarah Henry emphasises how students can reflect on their motivations and ensure they write responsibly while still demonstrating learning.

    Chronic pain affects millions of people, yet many are told their tests are normal and their symptoms cannot be explained.On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Dr. David Clarke, president of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms, to explore what happens when pain is generated by the brain rather than structural injury.Dr. Clarke shares his personal and professional journey into neuroplastic medicine, including the moment that changed his career when he discovered that a patient's severe gastrointestinal symptoms were rooted in unresolved trauma. We talk about how stress, anxiety, depression, and adverse childhood experiences can manifest as very real physical pain, even when scans and lab work appear normal.We explore how neuroplastic symptoms show up in the body, why so many patients feel dismissed or misunderstood, and how validating someone's experience is often the first step toward healing. Dr. Clarke explains his framework for identifying neuroplastic pain, the importance of looking beyond symptoms, and how emotional patterns can quietly drive chronic illness.This episode also dives into groundbreaking research on neuroplastic recovery therapy, including long term studies showing significant and lasting pain reduction. We discuss why this work is gaining attention from healthcare systems, insurers, and medical schools, and why hope matters for people who have been told they must simply live with pain.If you are navigating chronic pain, unexplained illness, grief stored in the body, or the emotional weight of not being believed, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a new lens for understanding healing.Connect with Dr. Clarke: https://www.symptomatic.me/

    You'll know Marisa Abela from HBO's critically acclaimed hit Industry, where her portrayal of Yasmin - a brilliant, volatile young woman with ambition to burn, earned her a BAFTA. She also starred as Amy Winehouse in Sam Taylor-Johnson's Back to Black and now returns for the hotly anticipated fourth season of Industry. In this conversation, Marisa spills the beans on her first audition for Industry, why her acting is inspired by The Real Housewives (yes, really) and what we can expect from the new season. We also reflect on her troubled teenage years - and how she was ‘a terror' to live with, as well as her shock diagnosis with thyroid cancer at the age of 23.

    Before anything shows up on a lab report, the body often signals imbalance through lived symptoms. Sleep becomes less restorative, emotional regulation takes more effort, focus shifts, and the nervous system feels less steady, even while test results still appear normal. We dive deeper into this in the Rooted in Wellness with Dr. Chris Renna, DO. Together, we explore why a grounded sense of self is one of the most overlooked indicators of health, how lived experience can be more revealing than lab data, and what truly shifts hormonally between ages 45 and 55. Dr. Chris Renna, DO, is the founder of LifeSpan Medicine and an early pioneer in longevity-focused care. He has over four decades of clinical experience across precision diagnostics, integrative medicine, neuroscience, and hormone health. His work focuses on personalized approaches to aging and long-term health optimization.

    MASH—metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (formerly known as NASH)—is a progressive form of fatty liver disease that often develops silently, without obvious symptoms. Many people don't realize their liver is being damaged until the disease has already advanced. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Podcast, host Jacqueline Gaulin is joined by Dr. Pooja Singhal, a board-certified gastroenterologist, hepatologist, obesity medicine specialist, and founder of the Oklahoma Gastro Health and Wellness Center. Dr. Singhal explains: The difference between MASLD and MASH Why MASH is frequently missed or diagnosed late Why testing—not symptoms—is the only reliable way to assess liver health Who is at risk for developing MASH How MASH is diagnosed and what liver testing involves Why fibrosis (liver scarring) matters Current treatment, prevention, and long-term management strategies How early identification can help reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer This episode focuses specifically on MASH, the progressive form of fatty liver disease. MASLD is discussed only to help listeners understand how MASH develops and why timely testing matters.

    EPISODE 661 - Leah Polworth - The heartbreaking news of a terminal diagnosis and the aftermath of sorrow, longing, confusion, and the heartache after lossWelcome to “Letters to Billy.” This memoir is my legacy. Journaling has always been a means for me to track my most heartfelt thoughts, deepest emotions, epiphanies, and reckonings. I am so pleased I persevered and published this memoir, which was initially intended to be something I could pass down to my son, Billy, when he becomes old enough to read and understand it.As I delved deeper into writing about my husband Steve's cancer journey—the knowledge we gained, the decisions we had to make, and the trials and tribulations along the way—it became apparent that my story might resonate with and provide comfort to others whose lives have taken a similar path.This book explores many themes: finding your soul mate, the wonderful man my husband was, the fleeting yet precious time we were blessed to have as a family, and the heartbreak of a terminal diagnosis. It captures hope, doubt, fear, tenacious love, and the short but intense journey through treatment, followed by the aftermath of sorrow, longing, confusion, and heartache after loss. Suddenly, I found myself a single parent needing to raise a young baby amid crushing grief, to the moments of peace, clarity, and reflection as the grief tide slowly ebbs and joy returns once again.I hope you find comfort, solace, and perhaps some inspiration from our story. Thank you for joining me on this path of self-discovery and healing.Book: Letters to Billy: A story of love, loss, lessons and self-discoveryLeah and Steve Polwarth seemed destined for a lifetime of joy. They married in 2017, and by 2019, their hearts swelled with the arrival of their son, Billy. But it wasn't long before their perfect world fell apart - Steve was delivered a life shattering diagnosis.Despite their unwavering hope and desperate fight, Leah was forced to say a heartbreaking goodbye to the love of her life, leaving her to navigate the suffocating grief of widowhood while raising their son in the midst of the global chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic.Letters to Billy is a raw and emotional journey through unimaginable loss, yet it is also a celebration of a mother's unbreakable love, fierce resilience and the powerful bond between a mother and her son.In the face of devastating grief, Leah finds a way forward, discovering moments of grace and uncovering the beauty that can still bloom, even in the darkest of times.https://letterstobilly.com.au/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

    When a Label Tries to Become Your NameI sat on a couch between my mom and dad, across from a therapist, following a “brain map” test. A brain map is a detailed snapshot of how your brain functions, measuring waves like delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma to show patterns of activity. I had recently been released from a behavioral health facility where I spent two weeks following a serious manic episode. My mom, wanting a second opinion, sought out a Christian mental health professional to help us navigate the next steps.The behavioral health facility had informed my family that the diagnosis was Bipolar Disorder 1. They recommended a clinic specializing in ADD and brain testing that utilized biofeedback for individuals with complex mental health cases.Following the test, the therapist showed us images of my brain activity. He confirmed the previous doctor's diagnosis: I did indeed have BP 1. Based on the brain map, it was a severe case. He explained that medication would be required to prevent further brain damage that results from the manic episodes that would continue to occur if left untreated.The therapist was gracious. He believed in the power of God to heal, but he wanted us to have a realistic picture of the severity of the illness and the precautions necessary for the future. The clinic even held Bible studies for their patients, which I began attending shortly after that meeting.Receiving that diagnosis forced our family to face a crossroads. We had to make choices about what this meant for my future—choices rooted in our beliefs that would greatly impact my life as a 23-year-old.According to the world's standards, it would have been acceptable—even expected—for us to adopt beliefs like:* “My life is never going to be the same.”* “I have a mental illness that has no cure.”* “Medication is the only way to survive.”* “I just need to learn how to live with this burden.”But before I share the path we chose as a family, we must acknowledge as believers that we are facing the greatest identity crisis our world has ever seen. With record-breaking numbers of people struggling with anxiety and isolation, mental health challenges are at an all-time high. We are living in a time where the “digital mirror” of the world tries to tell us who we are before we ever give God the chance to tell us who He created us to be.Read the rest here: https://open.substack.com/pub/litwithprayer/p/identity-over-diagnosis-how-we-won?r=5sajy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

    Learning to let go is one of the hardest but most necessary parts of parenting a struggling teen, especially when your child's behaviors feel frightening, confusing, and completely out of your control.In this episode, I'm joined again by Michelle, a mom who has walked a long, painful, and ultimately transformative path with her daughter, who was later diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Together, we talk honestly about what it looks like to parent through intense fear, misdiagnosis, shame, and the overwhelming urge to control in order to keep your child alive.Michelle shares what it was like before she understood her daughter's mental health struggles, when substance use, self-harm, and suicidality felt like “bad choices” instead of symptoms, and how that misunderstanding led to extreme lockdowns that, in hindsight, caused more harm than healing. She also opens up about the guilt that followed, and how she learned to meet herself with compassion instead of self-blame.This is a deep conversation about parenting a struggling teen when fear drives your decisions, and how letting go doesn't mean giving up. Instead, it means changing how you show up. Michelle reflects on learning new ways to communicate, recognizing when “help” is actually invalidating, and managing the anxiety that comes with giving your teen or young adult more independence.If you've ever felt consumed by fear around your struggling teen's behavior, obsessed with keeping your child safe, or unsure where your responsibility ends and theirs begins, this episode is for you.In this episode on learning to let go, we discuss:What it feels like to parent before you understand your child's mental health diagnosis;How fear can lead to control, and why control often backfires;Letting go of the belief that you can save your teen's life;The difference between supporting your child and managing your own anxiety;How certain “helpful” behaviors (like constant checking or cheerleading) can be invalidating;Practical tools for responding to fear without letting it run the show;Learning new ways to communicate that build trust and self-advocacy in your teen or young adult child;Redefining your role as your teen becomes a young adult;And more!Looking for support?

    Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and guest Vance Martin kick off a New Year series on productivity and progress in ministry. They introduce Vance's “Progress Spiral,” a simple framework to evaluate, strategize, and execute in your ministry, starting with a deep dive into the probe phase. They explore how to honestly assess your people, processes, and programs across three core cultures – volunteers, parents, and kids – offering practical language and real stories to help ministry leaders diagnose what is actually happening on the ground before they start fixing anything.If you've ever felt stuck in the same problems year after year, or frustrated that your changes never quite solve the real issues, this episode will equip and inspire you with a simple way to evaluate your ministry with clarity and courage.Key Topics CoveredThe Progress Spiral – a three-part framework for ongoing ministry improvement.The Probe Phase – evaluating people, processes, and programs without fear or assumptions.Hearing Hard Truth – why asking volunteers, parents, and kids for feedback builds trust and real change.Key Quote"Prognosis without diagnosis is malpractice."Scripture ReferencesProverbs 27:23 – "Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds."Luke 14:28 – "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost."TakeawayBefore you rewrite your calendar, overhaul your programs, or launch something new, you must slow down and see reality as it is. When you humbly probe your people, processes, and programs – and invite honest feedback from those you serve – you discover where the real problems are and where God may be inviting you to grow. Diagnosis comes before prescription, and good leaders are willing to ask hard questions and listen well.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

The last time Devon was on the show, we talked about the assessment process for 2e learners, but today we're moving on to the next natural step of this conversation, and actually, the next step for a parent whose child has been identified as having any sort of neurodifference, from dyslexia and ADHD to a processing speed or sensory issue.

This conversation goes beyond survival and into the aftermath...the part few people prepare you for. They talk openly about their recent move and why it felt aligned for this season of life, how purpose can shift after a diagnosis, and the role changes that naturally happen within a marriage when both partners are forever changed. This episode is raw, reflective, and real. It's for anyone who has been through a diagnosis—or loves someone who has—and is navigating the quieter, more complex questions that arise long after treatment ends.

    We're going live with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to talk about the mental illness at the center of the Nick Reiner case.Multiple outlets have reported that Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia years before the killings. That he was under psychiatric care. That his medication was changed three to four weeks before December 14th. And that after that change, sources say he was "erratic and dangerous" and "out of his head."But what does any of that actually mean?This live episode is a clinical deep-dive. Shavaun will explain what schizophrenia really is — not the Hollywood version, but the clinical reality. What does it do to someone's brain? How does it affect their perception of the world? How does it interact with drug use? And why might someone with an undiagnosed psychotic disorder turn to substances in the first place?We'll also examine the treatment failure. Nick went through eighteen rehab programs focused on addiction. If schizophrenia was underlying his substance abuse, what were those programs actually doing? Why did it take years to get the right diagnosis? And what does good dual-diagnosis treatment look like versus facilities that just claim to offer it?Finally, we'll break down the medication change. What happens when you adjust psychiatric medication for someone with schizophrenia? What are the risks? What does destabilization look like? And who should have been monitoring Nick during that transition?Bring your questions.

She challenges the idea that a number on a scan defines your future and offers a calmer, more empowering perspective on bone health.This episode is not about rejecting medicine or ignoring data — it's about placing information in context, reclaiming trust in your body, and understanding how lifestyle, stress, digestion, movement, and nervous system health truly influence your bones.If you've ever felt overwhelmed or disempowered by a bone health diagnosis, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow osteoporosis became a fear-based diagnosisThe limitations of the DEXA scan for predicting fracturesWhy many fractures occur in women without osteoporosisHow fear changes movement patterns and increases fracture riskWhy bone medications don't address root causesThe real role of stress, digestion, and inflammation in bone lossHow lifestyle choices influence bone strength dailyA practical, tiered approach to supporting bone healthHow to rebuild confidence and trust in your bodyAction Steps You Can Take TodayReframe the diagnosis — see your DEXA scan as information, not identity.Move daily with intention, alignment, and confidence.Reduce chronic stress through breathwork, yoga, or mindfulness.Support digestion to improve nutrient absorption.Focus on consistency, not extremes, in lifestyle habits.Educate yourself so fear no longer drives your decisions.Choose empowerment over paralysis when it comes to your bones.Resources & LinksHealthy Gut, Healthy Bones Program: https://debirobinsonwellness.thrivecart.com/hghb-self-paced-group-program-pp/Stronger Bones Lifestyle Community https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Debi's TakeawayOsteoporosis does not define you.A scan does not own you.Fear does not protect you.Your bones are living tissue, responding every day to how you eat, move, manage stress, and live your life.

    Episode 2 of Doing Well with Diabetes Season 2 focuses on “Overcoming Stigma in Sports,” highlighting two elite athletes living with type 1 diabetes outside the traditional Western spotlight. In part one, Rebeca Jara, a Costa Rican pole vaulter, shares her diagnosis at age seven, the transformational impact of attending diabetes camp as a teenager, and the long process of learning how stress, food, and insulin affect performance. She describes major competitions where high blood sugars, lack of fast-acting insulin, and broken vials wrecked her meets—and how she initially leaned on diabetes as an explanation for poor results. The turning point comes when a coach tries to keep her off a Central American team “because she has diabetes,” and she not only makes the squad but wins gold. That moment flips her internal narrative from “I can't because of diabetes” to “I'm capable, and I won't let others use diabetes as a reason to exclude me.” In part two, Ousman Ceesay from Gambia recounts being discriminated against and effectively cut from a football team because of his diabetes. Instead of quitting, he helps form a new team of players with diabetes, is named captain, and scores a decisive header in their first official match—against the very coach who rejected him. From there he becomes a leading advocate in Gambia, attacking myths about diabetes (like “it's only caused by sugar”) through social media, TV, and radio, while mentoring younger people with type 1 who are afraid to be seen. His motto, “All Is Well Like Never Before,” comes from a night of severe hypoglycemia, a morning spike, and the realization that despite diabetes, he can walk, see, and live independently—privileges many hospitalized people don't have. Together, Rebeca and Ousman show how stigma in sport can be confronted with preparation, persistence, and visibility, turning diabetes from a reason to be excluded into the engine for leadership and change.

    FHC #201: Mark Cuban’s blunt diagnosis of what’s broken in healthcare

    Fixing Healthcare Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 6, 2026 53:08


    Mark Cuban approaches healthcare the same way he approaches every industry he enters: by assuming something essential is missing and then asking who benefits from keeping it that way. In American medicine, he believes that missing ingredient is transparency. Not better messaging, not smarter incentives, but simple visibility into how prices are set, who gets paid and who gets taken advantage of. Cuban is a lifelong healthcare outsider. He is a billionaire entrepreneur, NBA championship team owner and longtime Shark Tank investor. That's what makes him the perfect guest for Season 11 of Fixing Healthcare with cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. This season's guests have massive online audiences, but their value isn't just reach. It's their ability to listen closely to what millions of patients are experiencing, then translate those insights back into the broader medical conversation. Few guests embody that better than Cuban. He has quickly become one of the system's most incisive critics by paying attention to what patients, employers and clinicians repeatedly say is broken. That mindset led to the creation of Cost Plus Drugs, a pharmacy built on an idea that sounds radical only because healthcare has drifted so far from it. Show patients the actual cost of a medication, add a flat 15% markup and eliminate the opaque middlemen who thrive in the dark. In this conversation, Cuban explains how a cold email from a physician opened his eyes to how hidden pharmaceutical pricing had become and why opacity itself became the opportunity. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE INTERVIEW Why drug prices are detached from reality. Cuban breaks down how widely used medications, including GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per month despite far lower manufacturing costs. The driver, he argues, is not innovation or scarcity, but a system dominated by pharmacy benefit managers whose rebate structures reward insurers and intermediaries while excluding patients. How patients bear the greatest financial harm. With concrete examples, Cuban explains how people in deductible phases, especially those on ACA plans, often pay full retail prices while rebates flow elsewhere. Costs are spread across millions of plan holders, but the financial pain lands on the people who actually need care. Why healthcare's complexity is intentional. From fax machines to prior authorization delays, Cuban argues that administrative friction is not accidental. It protects incumbents, drains clinician time and forces providers into the role of “subprime lenders,” all while patients struggle to navigate a system designed to obscure accountability. What he tells CEOs behind closed doors. Cuban outlines the first questions he asks corporate leaders about their pharmacy benefits, why most are not receiving the rebates they believe they are and how audits are often structured to reveal as little as possible. Transparency, he says, is the first step toward leverage. A blueprint beyond pharmaceuticals. The discussion extends into hospitals, insurance design and employer-based coverage, including Cuban's work on cost-plus wellness contracts that publish negotiated rates so others can replicate them. His goal is not dominance. It is forcing the system to respond by making its incentives visible. Throughout the episode, Cuban's message is blunt and consistent. Healthcare does not need more jargon, better marketing or marginal tweaks. It needs sunlight. Once pricing, incentives and risk are exposed, many of the system's most entrenched practices become much harder to justify. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr. Subscribe to the show via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you find podcasts.

    Dr. Jenn Simmons joins the Biohacker Babes for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her shift from conventional oncology to functional medicine after witnessing the impact of breast cancer in her own family. She pulls back the curtain on the limitations of traditional cancer care — especially the overreliance on mammograms — and explains why true prevention begins with metabolic health, lifestyle choices, informed patient advocacy, and other options for testing. Dr. Jenn challenges the profit-driven structure of the healthcare system and empowers listeners to question standard protocols, explore more predictive screening options like the Auria test, and reclaim responsibility for their wellbeing. This episode is a bold call to action for anyone ready to move beyond fear-based medicine and step into proactive, root-cause healing.Dr. Jenn Simmons is a breast surgeon, integrative oncologist, best-selling author, Podcast Host, 3x Summit host and founder of PerfeQtion Imaging. She began her career as Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years at the forefront of breast oncology.Her own health crisis led her to discover functional medicine and a new framework for patient care—one focused on creating health rather than managing disease. In 2019, she left conventional medicine to establish Real Health MD, where she helps women on their breast cancer journey truly heal.Today, her mission is to transform the landscape of breast cancer detection and survivorship. Through innovations in functional imaging, hormone restoration, and integrative care, Dr. Simmons aims to revolutionize how we screen for breast cancer and to redefine longevity for all women, including those with a history of breast cancer.SHOW NOTES:0:40 Welcome to the podcast!2:06 About Dr. Jenn Simmons3:02 Welcome Dr. Jenn to the show!3:46 Her turning point from conventional care7:26 Dr. Mark Hyman & functional medicine9:45 Conventional whack-a-mole17:26 Dad's transition into Biological Dentistry20:19 Metabolic chaos in children23:45 Cholesterol & metabolic health32:25 Mammograms & radiation35:55 History & stats on mammography43:02 We all make cancer cells44:27 Diagnosis mindset46:33 Renee's screening53:28 Alternative screening options58:39 Perfeqtion Imaging centers1:00:04 The Galleri Test1:07:48 Changing the system1:10:24 Where to find her1:11:49 Her final piece of advice1:12:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: www.perfeqtionimaging.com, www.realhealthmd.comYouTube: @dr.jennsimmonsIG: @drjennsimmons Auria Tears Test - code: DRJENN20Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
