Send us Fan MailAre you familiar with the term "ambiguous loss"? Just about all of us go through it at some point in our lives, but it's something Barb couldn't quite put a name to until her old friend and recurring guest Denise Torgerson described it to her. Ambiguous loss can come about in countless different ways, but most commonly, we feel it following the onset of Alzheimer's/dementia in a close family member or upon becoming estranged from family or friends. That ache we feel when someone leaves our lives without proper closure, or when a person has declined so much that we start to grieve the version of them we once knew? That's ambiguous loss. It happens to everyone, it's very hard to deal with, and surprisingly few people are actually talking about it.Thankfully, Denise is here to continue the conversation with Barb and help us all get a better understanding of what exactly causes those feelings of ambiguity, as well as what we can do to heal from it. They go over different types of loss, different coping strategies, some important realizations, and most importantly, that these feelings should not be ignored. As Denise says, if you are experiencing ambiguous loss right now, it is definitely worthy of your attention.Find us on Instagram @convoswithboomerspod.If you like our show, make sure you follow us on your favourite Podcast player.

I am honored to connect with Dr. Eric Osansky today. He is a chiropractic physician, clinical nutritionist, and functional medicine provider. He is also an author who loves to write about hyperthyroidism and a lifestyle-focused approach to it. In today's conversation, Dr. Osansky unpacks his own Graves diagnosis in 2008 and highlights the typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism, the unique physiology of thyroid dysfunction, and specific risk factors. We explore traditional treatment pathways, the influence of low-dose naltrexone and other immunomodulatory supplements, and the gut-thyroid axis. We also discuss how most of our immune system is located in the gut, the influence of leaky gut and autoimmune disease, perimenopause as a trigger window for symptoms, and how these often overlap with thyroid health. Stay tuned for an interesting and insightful conversation on thyroid health, Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and more. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What Graves' disease is, and how it differs from other causes of hyperthyroidism The first symptom of Graves' disease that Dr. Osansky experienced, and other common symptoms of Graves' disease Genetics, environmental triggers, and other factors that could contribute to autoimmune thyroid disease Conventional treatment options that are available for Graves' disease, how they work, and why treatment decisions should be individualized Why Dr. Osansky recommends continuing to support immune and gut health after radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery How low-dose naltrexone may help some people with Graves' disease modulate their immune systems Foods, lifestyle measures, and supplements that can support immune regulation alongside appropriate medical care The relationship between the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"), and autoimmunity How thyroid symptoms and hormone changes during midlife can overlap, and why laboratory testing is important when symptoms overlap Bio: Eric Osansky Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who has been helping people with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's since 2009. He is the author of the books "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease", "The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet", and "Hashimoto's Triggers", and is the host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. Dr. Osansky was personally diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to restore his health through a natural approach, and since then has helped others reverse their hyperthyroidism through his SAVED Thyroid framework.

Episode 26-32 Insulin Resistance- The "Silent Killer" You Probably Have, But Don't Know It Do you have Insulin Resistance? That's a question you should know the answer to. Why? Because Insulin Resistance is linked to nearly every major chronic disease. Diseases such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obesity, Heart Disease, and Autoimmune Disorders.  Insulin Resistance is also something very few doctors talk about. Why? I honestly don't know. But what I DO know is this: YOU need to know about Insulin Resistance… AND you need to know how to find out whether or not you have it. This is especially true if you are over the age of 30 as the majority of American adults HAVE Insulin Resistance and don't even know it! On this episode I talk about Insulin Resistance and how to determine if you have it. Give this episode a good listen and, as always, be sure to share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

"Once you give up your balls to the woman, she's gonna fight to hold on to them, and it's a fight to get them back." — Rob Arpa Rob Arpa is back, and this one gets into territory most men sense but rarely hear named clearly. The concept is the Eve disease — drawn from the story of Adam and Eve, and described by a pastor as the innate drive in women toward control over their man. Not something taught, not something cultural. Something deeper. And according to that pastor, the mark of a good woman is not the absence of this drive but her ongoing choice to keep it in check. Nicky and Rob work through what this looks like in real relationships — the shit tests, the moment a man holds his ground and things shift, and what happens when he doesn't. They get into the Stefan Aarnio parable about what women actually want, Justin Sterling's teaching on what it costs a man to give up his frame, and the broader principle that runs through all of it: tolerance is permission. What a man allows, he invites. That's true in marriage. It's true in culture. It's true in any institution where men have quietly accepted things they should have refused. This is a direct, honest conversation between two men who have lived this stuff — not a theory lecture. If you've ever felt the slow drift of your own life moving in a direction you didn't choose, this episode names what's happening and points toward what to do about it.

Book a free Metabolic Blueprint Session →The List, and the Number That Should Keep You Up at NightAccording to the CDC, ten conditions account for about 74% of all deaths in the United States every year:* Heart disease* Cancer* COVID-19 / chronic lower respiratory diseases* Accidents (unintentional injuries)* Stroke* Alzheimer's disease* Diabetes* Kidney disease* Influenza and pneumonia* SuicideHere's the part that doesn't get said enough: research estimates that up to 80% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. Those aren't destinies. They're decisions, and decisions can change.A landmark paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that poor diet alone accounts for more deaths in the US than tobacco use. The fork may be more dangerous than the cigarette. And yet, most patients who end up on four to six medications were never once asked what they eat, how they sleep, or whether they move their bodies before those prescriptions were written. That's the difference between a sick care system and a healthcare system.Heart Disease and Stroke: The Most Reversible Disease We KnowHeart disease kills one American every 34 seconds and has held the #1 spot for over a century. But it's also one of the most reversible conditions in medicine.In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark Lifestyle Heart Trial showed that intensive lifestyle changes — diet, exercise, stress management, and social support — could reverse coronary artery disease without drugs or surgery. Arterial plaques reduced. Blood flow improved. Chest pain decreased. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology confirmed it: a plant-predominant diet, regular aerobic exercise, not smoking, and a healthy weight reduced cardiovascular risk by over 80%.What that looks like in practice:* A Mediterranean or whole-food, plant-based diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants (this isn't the only diet that works — it's the broadest evidence-backed baseline)* Zone 2 cardio (low-intensity aerobic work, three to five times a week — a brisk walk counts)* Managing chronic inflammation, the real driver of arterial plaque formation* Reducing refined sugar and seed oils, which damage the endothelial lining of the arteries* Prioritizing sleep, since poor sleep spikes cortisol and directly harms the heartStroke follows the same playbook: control blood pressure through diet, exercise, and stress reduction. The DASH diet in particular has been shown in multiple studies to lower blood pressure as effectively as medication in many patients.Cancer: 30–50% Preventable, and Possibly More Metabolic Than GeneticTo be clear, this isn't a claim about curing cancer — it's about how much prevention research is available and underused. The World Health Organization estimates that 30–50% of cancers are preventable. The American Institute for Cancer Research has identified lifestyle factors that dramatically reduce risk across multiple cancer types:* Diet. A 2022 meta-analysis in The Lancet linked poor dietary patterns — low fiber, low fruit/vegetable intake, high processed meat — to one in five cancer deaths globally.* Obesity. Excess weight is now the second-leading risk factor for cancer after smoking, because fat tissue is metabolically active and produces hormones like estrogen and inflammatory cytokines that fuel cancer growth.* Exercise. A 2019 study of over 1.4 million people found higher physical activity was associated with lower risk across 13 cancer types, including breast, colon, and endometrial cancer.* Fasting and metabolic health. Emerging research on intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating shows it can lower insulin-like growth factor, a key promoter of cancer cell proliferation.* Toxin reduction. Chronic low-grade exposure to pesticides, plastics (BPA, phthalates), and environmental pollutants has been linked to increased cancer risk. Choosing organic where possible, filtering water and air, and reducing plastic in cookware and storage all matter.There's also a deeper shift happening in how researchers understand cancer itself. It's long been treated primarily as a genetic disease, but the evidence is increasingly pointing toward cancer as a metabolic disease. Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College has done groundbreaking work showing that cancer cells overwhelmingly rely on glucose and glutamine fermentation for energy — which is why a ketogenic or low-glycemic approach may help starve cancer cells while protecting healthy ones. The research is still evolving, but it's compelling.Think of your body like a garden. You can water it, enrich the soil, and pull the weeds — or you can dump sugar and chemicals on it and wonder why nothing grows right. Disease doesn't happen to you. It grows in an environment you create, consciously or not. The good news: you can change that environment starting today.Alzheimer's: “Type 3 Diabetes”Alzheimer's is rising, and it's terrifying to watch someone go through it. But emerging science shows it has a strong lifestyle and metabolic component — researchers now sometimes call it “type 3 diabetes” because of the profound link between insulin resistance and neurodegeneration.Dr. Dale Bredesen's ReCODE Protocol, published in the Journal of Aging, showed that a multimodal lifestyle intervention — diet, exercise, sleep optimization, hormone balancing, and stress reduction — reversed early cognitive decline in the majority of patients treated. In his 2014 case series, 9 of 10 patients with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment showed measurable improvement, with several returning to work.Key strategies from the research:* Sleep is non-negotiable. The brain's glymphatic (waste clearance) system activates primarily during sleep, flushing out amyloid beta plaque. Poor sleep means plaque buildup.* Exercise. A 2020 study showed aerobic exercise increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) — essentially fertilizer for neurons — and reduces dementia risk by up to 35%.* Mediterranean-MIND diet. Shown to slow cognitive aging by an estimated 7.5 years in adherent individuals.* Blood sugar management. Insulin resistance in the brain disrupts its ability to use glucose for energy, effectively starving neurons.* Social connection. Harvard's 80-year longitudinal study found relationship quality was the single strongest predictor of cognitive health and longevity in old age.Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease: One Disease Driving AnotherOver 37 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and another 96 million are pre-diabetic. Here's the part that surprises people: type 2 diabetes is reversible in the majority of cases, and this isn't controversial — the science is overwhelming.The 2019 DiRECT trial, published in The Lancet, found that nearly half of type 2 diabetics achieved full remission through an intensive dietary intervention alone, with no medication. Other studies using low-carbohydrate and very-low-calorie diets have replicated these results consistently.Diabetic nephropathy — kidney damage from chronically high blood sugar — is the leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Control the upstream issue (blood sugar and metabolic dysfunction) and you protect the downstream organ.The diabetes reversal framework from the research:* Dramatically reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars to blunt insulin spikes and reduce fat storage in the liver and pancreas* Practice time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting to improve insulin sensitivity* Add resistance training — muscle is your biggest glucose sink, so more muscle means better blood sugar control* Reduce visceral fat (the fat around and inside your organs), a key driver of insulin resistance and inflammationIf this list feels like a lot, that's fair. But it's not about blame — it's about empowerment. You have more control over your health outcomes than the medical system has typically told you.Respiratory Disease, Flu, and PneumoniaChronic lower respiratory diseases like COPD and emphysema are largely driven by smoking and air quality. Quitting smoking remains the single most impactful intervention here, full stop.For flu and pneumonia risk, immune resilience matters: vitamin D optimization, zinc and elderberry, and gut microbiome health (roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut). Even mild sleep deprivation has been shown to quadruple susceptibility to viral infection.Suicide and Mental HealthThis is the cause of death nobody wants to talk about, but it's in the top 10 — and it's the leading cause of death for men under 50, and the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10–34.While this is complex and deeply personal, research points to several lifestyle levers:* Exercise functions as an effective antidepressant, largely through endorphin release* The gut-brain axis matters more than most people realize — over 75% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, so gut health directly shapes brain chemistry* Social connection and purpose. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, written while he was in a Nazi concentration camp, captured this: meaning and connection to purpose are essential for survival, and perspective shapes both physiology and outcome* Reducing alcohol, a central nervous system depressant that worsens anxiety and depression despite short-term reliefIf you or someone you love is struggling, crisis hotlines are available 24/7. There's often a reason it's happening, and there's often a way through it.The Common ThreadAcross every single one of these conditions — heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory disease, immune function, mental health — the same five levers keep showing up: diet, exercise, sleep, toxin reduction, and blood sugar balance.Your daily habits are either building disease or building resilience. Every meal, every walk, every night of good sleep compounds — just like interest in a bank account.This Week's Action Plan* Do a food audit. For the next three days, write down everything you eat. No judgment, just awareness — you can't change what you can't see.* Walk 30 minutes a day. It lowers blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, boosts BDNF, and reduces cortisol.

Know your fasting glucose, A1C, CRP, vitamin D, triglycerides, and LDL — these are your early warning systems.* Address one stress source this week. A conversation you need to have, a boundary you need to set, or ten minutes of breathwork.

Vin Singh, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bullfrog AI, is applying proprietary AI technology to drug development, with a focus on drug target discovery and phase three clinical trials. The company's platform is derived from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab and is designed to pinpoint drug targets, identify the root causes of disease, and match patients to appropriate treatments based on genetic profiles. Bullfrog AI aims to reduce clinical trial timelines, improve success rates, identify more accurate biomarkers, and improve patient outcomes. Vin explains, "We are in the AI innovator category, and we're applying our proprietary platform to the challenges that exist in the world of drug development for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Primarily our focus is on the first and the last stage of that process. So the first stage is what you call drug target discovery. So when you take a medication, it targets something in your body. So we're trying to identify novel targets that we believe are the root cause of certain diseases. And then we are also focused on the final stage, which is phase three clinical trials. That's where we have our experience. And that's obviously a very critical and pivotal point in the process and the final stage of a long 10- to 15-year, one- to two-billion-dollar drug development process."   "You need to have the right tool for a certain problem and then data, and they go together. I think on the data side, getting access to rich, deep data sets is critical. And fortunately, the cost to generate that type of data has come down pretty significantly over the past, say, 10 years. So now, for example, we have a project where we have brain data, and it's the type of data where you can really make discoveries and insights and so forth. And so that's a really critical part of this process. The other part is: what tool do you have, and what problem are you trying to solve? Our technology is unique. I'd say most companies use technology that comes from NVIDIA and AWS. So they're all kind of using the same tools from the same toolbox." "Our technology comes from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, which is a world-renowned institution. We have IP around our platform, and we've continued to innovate over the years. It definitely has unique capabilities, and it is specifically designed for the types of problems that exist in drug development." #BullFrogAI $BFRG, #AI, #AIinBiotech, #MachineLearning, #DrugDevelopment #AIinHealthcare #PrecisionMedicine #Neuropsychiatry #Oncology #DigitalHealth #ClinicalTrials #Biomarkers #bfLEAP bullfrogai.com Listen to the podcast here

Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, he pursued undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan before earning his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon, where he attended on a Hahnemann Scholarship. From 1980 to 1984, he directed the homeopathy program at NCNM and also served on the faculty at Bastyr University. Throughout his career, Dr. Murphy taught homeopathy, Oriental medicine, Tai Chi, and Qigong, helping educate practitioners and students around the world. Dr. Murphy is best known for authoring several influential reference works in homeopathy, including the Homeopathic Medical Repertory (later expanded as Murphy's MetaRepertory), Lotus Materia Medica (now published as Nature's Materia Medica), and Keynote Materia Medica. These texts are widely used by homeopathic practitioners and educational institutions internationally. He founded and directed the Lotus Health Institute, where he continued to teach and publish educational materials on homeopathy and natural medicine. Dr. Murphy passed away on November 17, 2021, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the most widely recognized educators and authors in contemporary homeopathic literature.

You'll learn a practical way to separate evidence from opinion so you can make informed decisions that actually support your health, strength, and longevity.  Instead of adding to the noise in women's fitness, this conversation gives you the clarity and confidence to focus on what truly matters If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

FREE RESOURCE FROM BRAD SUGARS DM Brad on Instagram @BradleySugars the word "PLAYBOOK" and he'll send you his free business playbook on how to succeed in business. --- In this episode, I sit down with Brad Sugars — the Founder and Chairman of ActionCOACH, the world's #1 business coaching firm with over 1,000 offices in 85 countries — to break down exactly what separates the entrepreneurs who scale from the ones who stay stuck. Brad calls out what he sees as the biggest epidemic in business right now: wimpy goals. We dig into the three stages of business growth (0 to $1M, $1M to $10M, $10M to $100M), why the skills that get you to your first million will actually hold you back from your next ten, and why most business owners have built themselves a job with overheads instead of a real business. Brad also gets honest about his own failures — from team members who liked his money more than he did, to reinvesting $4M right before COVID hit — and shares the mindset shifts that let him operate his companies in just one hour a week. We also get into work-life harmony, the epidemic of loneliness among male entrepreneurs, and why Brad believes the most expensive advice in the world is free advice from a poor person. GUEST BIO Brad Sugars is the Founder, Chairman, and President of ActionCOACH — the world's #1 business coaching firm with more than 1,000 offices in 85 countries. Internationally recognized as one of the most influential entrepreneurs alive, Brad is a bestselling author, sought-after keynote speaker, and has been called the Godfather of Business Coaching for over 30 years. He started his entrepreneurial journey at age 7 and founded ActionCOACH in Brisbane, Australia in 1993 — when business coaching as a profession barely existed. He has since become the CEO of 9+ companies and helped hundreds of thousands of business owners across the globe scale, systematize, and ultimately exit their businesses. Brad lives in Las Vegas with his wife Lauren and their five children.   GUEST SOCIAL LINKS Instagram: @BradSugars Facebook: Brad Sugars ActionCOACH X (Twitter): @BradSugars LinkedIn: Brad Sugars YouTube: Brad Sugars ActionCOACH Website: actioncoach.com About Justin: Justin Colby is the host of The Entrepreneur DNA and The M.O.R.E Show podcasts and a best-selling author.

Bryan Johnson was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis in 2026, and within a day the internet had already decided it was his vegan diet — I don't think it's that simple. In this episode I break down what autoimmune gastritis actually is, why Bryan's own data (crashed ferritin, failed iron absorption, a second autoimmune condition since he was 21) points to something deeper than food alone, and why both sides of this argument — "it's the diet" and "diet has nothing to do with it" — are missing the real pattern. I walk through the genetics-plus-environment framework behind autoimmune disease, compare Bryan's lifestyle against how humans have lived for most of our history — sun exposure, food sourcing, community, caloric rhythm — and lay out the specific changes I'd make instead, most of which don't cost you anything. If you've ever wondered whether optimizing your health can go too far, this one's for you. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva! Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since. I encourage you to consider trading your sneakers or training shoes for a pair of Peluvas, and then watch the health of your feet and lower back improve while reducing your risk of injury.  To learn more about why I love Peluva barefoot shoes, check out my in-depth review: https://michaelkummer.com/health/peluva-review/  And use code MICHAEL to get 10% off your first pair: https://michaelkummer.com/go/peluva  Learn More: 2: 8 Key Primal Shifts for Ancestral Living: https://www.primalshiftpodcast.com/8-key-primal-shifts-for-ancestral-living/  59: Paleo, Keto, Carnivore [Navigating Dietary Changes as a Family]: https://www.primalshiftpodcast.com/59-paleo-keto-carnivore-navigating-dietary-changes-as-a-family/  In this episode: 00:00 Intro 02:37 Health optimization gone too far 03:02 Diagnosis facts and markers 06:08 Genes, diet, and autoimmunity 08:32 What we know and don't 10:28 Against nature comparison 13:45 Risk factors with data 15:34 Ferritin red flags 17:47 A better primal blueprint 19:33 Final thoughts Find me on social media for more health and wellness content: Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelKummer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primalshiftpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/michaelkummer/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/mkummer82 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmichaelkummer/ [Medical Disclaimer] The information shared on this video is for educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or registered dietitians (which I am not) and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.

Environmental journalist, Michael Dulaney looks at viruses and bacteria that can move between bats, horses, seals, pigs, voles and even polar bears, and the conditions that lead to human infection.These diseases are known as zoonoses.Michael says climate change, urban sprawl, animal farming and even homelessness contribute to wild animals coming into ever closer contact with people, leading these illnesses to move from creatures to us.To understand how this process works, Michael has researched the volunteers dedicating their lives to conservation. He has camped out on a freezing Victorian night to try to catch ducks with a net shot from a cannon, to test them for bird flu. He has gone frog hunting in the jungles of Indonesia, and he's visited a suburban Melbourne apartment where a dedicated citizen gives up her master bedroom to a collection of injured flying foxes, while she sleeps in the spare room.Michael also explains how the curious case of Trench Fever fits into the zoonotic puzzle. It was found first in Edmonton, Canada in 2022, when patients developed a serious heart condition after they were given organs donated by homeless victims of the opioid crisis.Further informationSentinels: When diseases spread between animals and humans is published by Scribe.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

In Senegal, rice farmers are trying to kill three birds with one stone – er, fish. Rice and fish are already a natural combination; they're even the main ingredients of thieboudienne, the delicious national dish. But could that combination also reduce a debilitating disease, boost food security AND help farmers make more money? A team of researchers are conducting an ambitious experiment to see whether growing rice and fish together can be a win-win-win for Senegal, and NPR's Jonathan Lambert came along for the ride.Interested in more science-based biological solutions?

Dr. Isaac Harris is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomolecular Sciences and the Center for Discovery in Cancer Research at McMaster University. Isaac's research examines the roles of antioxidants in health and disease, including how they are produced and used in cells. He is particularly interested in how cancer cells rely on antioxidant pathways to survive and grow. Isaac is working to understand why high-dose antioxidant supplements may sometimes promote cancer rather than prevent it, and whether blocking cancer cells' natural antioxidant systems could slow tumor growth. When he's not working, Isaac enjoys spending time with his wife and five-year-old daughter, doing things like coloring, playing outside, visiting the park, or eating ice cream. He also likes cooking, reading, relaxing, watching TV, and introducing his daughter to some of his favorite childhood shows like The Simpsons. He received his bachelor's of engineering degree in chemical engineering and PhD in molecular biology from the University of Toronto. Next, he conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard medical school before joining the faculty at the University of Rochester and Wilmot Cancer Institute in 2019. In 2024, he was awarded the Wilmot Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) Innovator Award. He very recently moved his lab and joined the faculty McMaster University. In this interview, Isaac shares more about his life and research.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What is hyperkalemia? Hyperkalemia is when the measured blood level of potassium reaches above 5.2 - 5.5 mEq/L (normal 3.5 - 5.2 mEq/L).  What are common causes of hyperkalemia?  Chronic or acute kidney disease. Medications that impact the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS).  Hypoaldosteronism and primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's Disease). What are concerns of hyperkalemia? The biggest concern with hyperkalemia is the impact on the cardiac conduction system. At differing levels of hyperkalemia, the patient may initially have peaked T waves, that then progress into a widening of the QRS complex which may eventually lead to a sine wave pattern.  This increases risk for cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation, PEA, and asystole. What is the treatment algorithm for hyperkalemia? Works through a three-tier approach. First tier treatment is with a calcium agent (calcium gluconate or chloride).  Thought for the longest time to "stabilize the cardiac membrane/action potential". Recent research shows the true mechanism of action is likely through acting on calcium dependent channels.  Does not fix underlying hyperkalemia, but buys time for the heart.  Second tier treatment is inducing intracellular potassium shift. Can be achieved through agents such as insulin (which may need to be bolused with glucose to prevent hypoglycemia), albuterol, or sodium bicarbonate.  Third tier is potassium elimination If the patient is producing urine, loop or thiazide diuretics can be considered.  Hemodialysis may also be considered based on patient condition.  Long term (and slowest method of elimination) through fecal excretion. Unlikely to see benefits in emergency management.  Key Takeaways?  Hyperkalemia is a condition that can be brought on by primarily renal conditions and medication side effects. Careful attention must be paid to the patient's cardiac status, and urgent cardiac stabilization (though now we may know that calcium doesn't truly "stabilize" the cardiac membrane) must be performed to prevent deadly arrhythmias. Definitive management involves addressing the offending agent, offloading potassium, and stabilizing the patient long term.   References: Geldermann N, Dzimiera J, Fischer H, Christ M.
