Honestly, it can feel like the wild west out there—so much info, so many opinions, and not a lot of clarity. I've been in this space for a while now, and I've definitely learned a lot through trial and error. That's why I always tell people: do your research before jumping into any peptide protocol.One of the most important things I've found is that you have to know your goal before choosing a peptide. Are you trying to lose fat? Sleep better? Boost your focus? Having a clear goal makes it so much easier to pick the right peptide and get results that actually match what you're aiming for.I also talk about stacking—what works, what doesn't, and why randomly combining peptides without understanding how they work can totally backfire. I've seen it happen. Dosing is another big one. More isn't always better, and starting too high or too low can lead to disappointment—or side effects.At the end of the day, peptides are powerful tools, but they're not magic. They work best when you've already got your basics dialed in—nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery. This episode is all about helping you lay that foundation so you can actually get the most out of your peptide journey.

BIO: Andy Sparks, PhD, was an academic in the UK for ~25 years and is now the Research Innovations Manager for Maurten AB, Sweden, and an Honorary Visiting Research Fellow at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. His research focuses on nutritional interventions to enhance sports performance, particularly the use of sodium bicarbonate. He has published extensively on a range of topics in exercise physiology and sports nutrition, with a particular interest in endurance cycling and running performance.Dr. Andy Sparks shares his expertise on sodium bicarbonate as an overlooked yet highly effective ergogenic aid for sports performance, with a particular focus on recent advances in delivery methods that minimize gastrointestinal distress. He explains the science behind bicarbonate supplementation and reveals why this supplement deserves more attention from athletes across multiple sports.Key Points!• Sodium bicarbonate is recognized as an A-list evidence-based supplement by the Australian Institute of Sport• Traditional delivery methods caused GI distress, giving the supplement a negative reputation despite its effectiveness• Works as an extracellular buffer that helps manage hydrogen ions during high-intensity exercise• May also reduce pain perception during exercise, explaining benefits in longer-duration events• Effective for high-intensity activities (400m-3000m races), intermittent sports, and even endurance events• Dosing varies widely (0.1-0.3g/kg bodyweight) with significant inter-individual response variability• Peak blood bicarbonate levels occur between 15-90 minutes post-ingestion, depending on delivery method• The Maurten bicarb system combines mini-tablets with a carbohydrate hydrogel to maximize effectiveness while minimizing GI issues• Safety concerns relate primarily to sodium load rather than bicarbonate itself• Particularly beneficial for race strategies with high-intensity starts followed by sustained effortsThe Maurten bicarb system is available online at maurten.com, with region-specific sites including a US option.

Sona Nanotech CEO David Regan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a significant milestone in the company's clinical journey—the first patient dosing has been successfully completed in the early feasibility study of its Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy (THT) for advanced melanoma. This first-in-human dosing marks the culmination of years of preclinical research and development, representing a pivotal step toward validating Sona's novel cancer treatment approach. The study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and early efficacy signals of THT, focusing on its ability to inhibit tumor growth and stimulate immune system engagement—particularly in patients who have not responded to standard-of-care immunotherapy treatments. The trial involves two treatments of Sona's THT administered one week apart, targeting patients with advanced melanoma who are currently on—or have previously received—immunotherapy protocols but experienced disease progression or inadequate response. Initial readouts are expected later this summer, with final trial results anticipated in the fall. Regan also revealed the company's plans for a second, more expansive human trial to follow shortly after, pending feedback and further engagement with regulatory authorities. Additionally, Sona intends to publish the study's findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, contributing to the broader body of oncology research. Sona's Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy uses gold nanorods designed to accumulate in tumors, which are then selectively heated using infrared light to disrupt cancerous tissue while potentially amplifying the immune system's response—offering a non-invasive complement or alternative to existing immunotherapy options that often come with limited response rates or harsh side effects. #proactiveinvestors #sonananotechinc #cse #sona #otcqb #snanf #CancerTherapy #GoldNanorods #FDAApproval #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials #Nanomedicine #MelanomaTreatment #CancerResearch #THTTherapy #ClinicalTrials #CancerDevice #Immunotherapy #BiotechNews #LateStageCancer #ProactiveInvestors

Navigating the complex landscape of patient safety requires vigilance, knowledge, and adaptability. Today's episode takes us on a journey through two critical safety concerns that exemplify the challenges anesthesiologists face in diverse clinical settings.We begin with an eye-opening exploration of cosmetic surgery safety in Colombia, which has emerged as a top global destination for aesthetic procedures. Despite performing nearly 500,000 cosmetic surgeries annually, Colombia faces alarming safety statistics—mortality rates potentially ten times higher than global averages for anesthesia-related deaths. This stark disparity highlights how regulatory gaps, substandard facilities, and inadequate patient selection can create perfect storms for adverse outcomes. The discussion illuminates how anesthesiologists can serve as safety champions by implementing rigorous standards and protocols.The conversation then pivots to a surprisingly common yet overlooked danger in pediatric anesthesia: the administration of oxymetazoline. What seems like a routine medication becomes hazardous when delivery systems designed for upright, conscious patients are used on supine, anesthetized children. Through practical demonstrations and creative problem-solving, we uncover how simple modifications to delivery methods—specifically using atomizers with precisely filled syringes—can prevent potentially dangerous overdoses and create standardized, position-independent dosing.Both topics underscore a central theme: anesthesia safety demands thoughtful adaptation of standards to fit unique circumstances. Whether dealing with international variations in practice or the specialized needs of pediatric patients, the commitment to "no one shall be harmed by anesthesia care" requires constant vigilance and innovation. We'd love to hear your experiences with similar challenges—have you encountered safety variations in different practice settings, or developed creative solutions to common problems?

If you're tired, wired, and in pain—this one's for you. Insomnia, stress, and chronic discomfort often show up together, and we tend to treat them like separate problems. But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable?Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb. Natalie shares how magnesium supports everything from sleep and anxiety to inflammation, energy, blood pressure, and even mood swings.They dig into how magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how most of us—kids included—aren't getting enough. From ADHD to weight loss to workout recovery, magnesium plays a starring role in our well-being. And the truth is, food isn't always enough.This conversation is equal parts science and real talk. It's about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it's been quietly begging for.Tune in if you've tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing's worked.

In today's episode we'll talk about L-Carnitine. What is L-carnitine, what does it do, and why are more people choosing to inject it instead of taking it as a pill? Let's break it down. L-carnitine is a compound made from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and its main job is helping your body turn fat into energy by shuttling fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria. While we naturally make some and get more from foods like red meat and dairy, certain people — like athletes, older adults, or those with metabolic issues — may not make or absorb enough. That's where supplementation, especially the injectable form, comes in. Why inject L-carnitine instead of taking it by mouth? This is a question I get all the time. Yes, you can take L-carnitine as a pill or powder. But here's the catch: when you take it orally, your body only absorbs about 15 to 20% of it. That means you'd need to take a whopping 4 to 5 grams daily just to get a therapeutic dose — and that often comes with unpleasant side effects, like bloating, diarrhea, and even that infamous fishy body odor, thanks to a byproduct called trimethylamine. Injectable L-carnitine skips all that. It's way more bioavailable — so you actually absorb and use what you inject. It's faster-acting, especially when you give it intramuscularly. And it's also easier on the gut, since it bypasses digestion and liver metabolism. With the injectable form, you get more targeted results, which is great for things like fat loss, athletic performance, or metabolic health. What are the potential benefits of L-carnitine? Let's talk about what L-carnitine actually does in your body—because honestly, it's pretty impressive. First off, it helps you burn fat more efficiently by moving fatty acids into your cells' mitochondria to be used for energy. It can also boost endurance by delaying fatigue, and it supports faster recovery by reducing soreness and muscle damage after tough workouts. On top of that, it improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to your muscles, which can lead to better pumps and overall performance. It even helps keep fat from building up in organs like your liver and heart, which is great for metabolic health. L-carnitine also plays a role in boosting metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity, especially for those with blood sugar issues. Some studies suggest it can support mental focus and even help with heart function in people with heart conditions. Not bad for a single supplement, right? What about dosing? Injectable L-carnitine doses usually fall between 200 to 1,000 mg per day, though some people aiming for fat loss or performance might go as high as 2,000 mg. Most people split the dose to make injections more comfortable and keep levels steady—like 500 mg in each shoulder, or half in the morning and half before a workout. Timing really does matter, too. It tends to work best first thing in the morning when your body's ready to burn fat, or about 30 to 60 minutes before training when you need a boost in energy and fat oxidation. Just avoid taking it too late, since it can be pretty stimulating and might mess with your sleep. What are the potential side effects of L-carnitine? Overall, injectable L-carnitine is pretty well tolerated, but like anything, it's not completely free of side effects. Some people might notice redness or soreness at the injection site, especially if their technique isn't spot-on. Mild nausea or headaches can pop up too, but they're usually short-lived and related to the dose. That fishy body odor we talked about earlier? It's less common with injections than with pills, but it can still happen if your body has trouble breaking down carnitine. Taking it too late in the day might lead to insomnia since it ramps up your energy, and some folks notice an increased appetite—probably because their metabolism is kicking into high gear. And if you're not staying hydrated or your electrolytes are off, you might get muscle cramps. Who shouldn't take L-carnitine? L-carnitine can be super helpful for energy and fat metabolism, but it's not right for everyone. If you have low thyroid function, it might actually make your symptoms worse because it can interfere with how your body uses thyroid hormones. People with a history of seizures should also be cautious, since L-carnitine may increase seizure risk. And while it has some benefits for heart health, there's some debate about whether it could raise certain byproducts like TMAO that might increase heart disease risk—especially in people who already have heart issues. It can also interact with medications like warfarin, so if you're on a blood thinner, definitely check with your provider. Also, anyone with kidney or liver problems should use it carefully, too, since those organs help process and eliminate it. Oh, and if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or prone to insomnia, it's best to hold off or talk with your doctor first. Bottom line: L-carnitine can do a lot of good, but it's always smart to make sure it's the right fit for your body. That said, it's not for everyone. Dosing, timing, and safety all matter — so always work with a knowledgeable provider. Thank you for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction.ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity. While it's often diagnosed in childhood, symptoms can persist well in adulthood. The treatment for ADHD is multifaceted. It often includes medication, behavioral therapy, environmental modifications, and sometimes educational interventions which are especially effective in younger patients. Ongoing evaluation is needed during treatment. Treatment needs adjustments over time.Starting with medications: Stimulants are the most well-studied and effective pharmacologic treatment for ADHD. These include methylphenidate-based medications such as Ritalin, Concerta, and Focalin, and amphetamine-based options, like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine. Discovery of stimulants for ADHD> Dr. Charles Bradley discovered stimulants as the treatment for ADHD around 1937. ADHD did not have a name at that time, but it was known that some children had behavioral problems related to poor attention and inability to control their impulses, but they were still intelligent. Dr. Bradley was a psychiatrist who was working in the Bradley Hospital (Rhode Island), he was studying these children and, as part of his experiments, they developed severe headaches. He gave “Benzedrine” (a decongestant) to his pediatric patients to treat severe headaches, and he discovered that Benzedrine improved academic performance and interest in school and improved disruptive behavior in some children.How do stimulants work.Stimulants work primarily by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, which helps improve focus, attention span, and impulse control. They typically show a rapid onset of action and can lead to noticeable improvements within the first few days of use. Dosing is individualized and should start low with gradual titration. Side effects can include reduced appetite, insomnia, headaches, increased heart rate, and emotional lability.Types of stimulants. Stimulants come as short acting and long acting. They can come as a tablet, liquid, patch, or orally disintegrating tablet. After the discovery of Benzedrine as a possible treatment for ADHD, more research was done over the years, and Ritalin became the first FDA-approved medication for ADHD (1955). The list of medications may seem overwhelming, but there are only two types of stimulants used to treat ADHD: methylphenidate and amphetamine. Long-acting stimulant medications are often preferred for their consistent symptom control and lower potential for misuse. Vyvanse (lis-dexa-mfetamine) is a widely used long-acting amphetamine-based option. As a prodrug, it remains inactive until metabolized in the body, which results in a smoother onset and offset of action and may reduce the risk of abuse. This extended duration of effect can help patients maintain focus and regulate impulses throughout the day without the peaks and crashes sometimes seen with shorter-acting formulations. Of note, Vyvanse is also approved for Binge Eating Disorder. Many of these medications are Schedule II controlled substances, so to prescribe them you need a DEA license. Other long-acting options include Concerta, an extended-release methylphenidate, as well as extended-release versions of Adderall and Focalin. These are especially helpful for school-aged children who benefit from once-daily dosing, and for adults who need sustained attention during work or academic activities. The choice between short- and long-acting stimulants depends on individual response, side effect tolerance, and daily routine.For patients who cannot tolerate stimulants, or for those with contraindications such as a history of substance misuse or certain cardiac conditions, non-stimulant medications are an alternative. One of the most used is atomoxetine, which inhibits the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter (NET). This leads to increased levels of norepinephrine (and to a lesser extent dopamine). Guanfacine or clonidine are alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonists that lead to reduced sympathetic outflow and enhanced prefrontal cortical function, improving attention and impulse control. These alpha agonists are particularly useful in younger children with significant hyperactivity or sleep disturbances.Non-pharmacologic treatments.Behavioral therapy before age 6 is the first choice, after that, medications are more effective than BH only, and as adults again you use CBT.Medication is often just one part of a broader treatment plan. Behavioral therapy, especially in children, plays a critical role. Parent-training programs, positive reinforcement systems, and structured routines can significantly improve functioning. And for adolescents and adults, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly helpful. CBT can address issues like procrastination, time management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem which are areas that medication doesn't always touch.Using medications for ADHD can be faced with resistance by parents, and even children. There is stigma and misconceptions about mental health, there may be concerns about side effects, fear of addiction, negative past experiences, and some parents prefer to treat ADHD the “natural” way without medications or only with supplements. All those concerns are valid. Starting a medication for ADHD is the first line of treatment in children who are 6 years and older, but it requires a shared decision with parents and patients. Cardiac side effects are possible with stimulants. EKG may be needed before starting stimulants, but it is not required. Get a personal and family cardiac history, including a solid ROS. Benefits include control of current condition and treating comorbid conditions.The presentation of ADHD changes as the person goes through different stages of life. For example, you may have severe hyperactivity in your school years, but that hyperactivity improves during adolescence and impulsivity worsens. It varies among sexes too. Women tend to present as inattentive, and men tend to be more hyperactive. ADHD is often underdiagnosed in adults, yet it can significantly impact job performance, relationships, and mental health. In adults, we often use long-acting stimulants to minimize the potential for misuse. And psychotherapy, particularly CBT or executive functioning coaching, can be life-changing when combined with pharmacologic treatment. There are several populations where treatment must be tailored carefully such as pregnant patients, individuals with co-occurring anxiety or depression, and those with a history of substance use. For example, atomoxetine may be preferred in patients with a history of substance misuse. And in children with coexisting oppositional defiant disorder, combined behavioral and pharmacologic therapy is usually more effective than either approach alone.Comorbid conditions.Depression and anxiety can be comorbid, and they can also mimic ADHD. Consult your DSM-5 to clarify what you are treating, ADHD vs depression/anxiety.Treatment goes beyond the clinic. For school-aged children, we often work closely with schools to implement 504 plans or Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that provide classroom accommodations. Adults may also benefit from workplace strategies like structured schedules, noise-reducing headphones, or even coaching support. Ongoing monitoring is absolutely essential. We assess side effects of medication, adherence, and symptom control. ***In children, we also monitor growth and sleep patterns. We often use validated rating scales, like the Vanderbilt questionnaire for children 6–12 (collect answers from two settings) or Conners questionnaires (collect from clinician, parents and teachers), to track progress. And shared decision-making with patients and families is key throughout the treatment process.To summarize, ADHD is a chronic but manageable condition. Effective treatment usually involves a combination of medication and behavioral interventions, tailored to the individual's needs. And early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life academically, socially, and emotionally.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

EP. 212: Today I'm joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, obesity specialist, Lipidologist, and founder of Vineyard, a cutting-edge direct care platform. We're diving deep into the conversation you've been asking for: the real story behind GLP-1s, obesity as a chronic disease, and why treating it goes far beyond weight loss. We break down everything from proper dosing, common side effects, and the dangers of vanity prescribing to the systemic issues with telemedicine and PBMs. Dr. Nadolsky and I also discuss strength training, preserving muscle mass, and how GLP-1s may support metabolic and cardiovascular health beyond their FDA indications. This episode cuts through the noise and misinformation. If you care about metabolic health, this one's essential. Topics Discussed: What are the real benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss? Is obesity truly a chronic disease, and how should it be treated? What are the risks of GLP-1 vanity dosing and fast titration? How do GLP-1s impact muscle mass and metabolic health? Why are telemedicine and PBMs problematic for obesity treatment? Sponsored By: Maui Nui Venison | Head to mauinuivenison.com/DRTYNA to secure your access now.

Join Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright on Fat Science as they unpack the complexities of dosing GLP-1 medications for metabolic health and weight management. Dr. Cooper emphasizes the importance of an individualized approach, debunking the myth that higher doses or faster titration always lead to better outcomes. The team addresses listener questions about how and when to increase doses, highlight the risks of rapid escalation, and discuss the nuanced ways these drugs impact metabolic health beyond just weight loss. Real-life experiences and thoughtful, science-backed guidance will help you navigate your own journey with metabolic dysfunction and medication.Key Takeaways:Dosing of GLP-1 medications should always be tailored to the individual, considering response, side effects, and other health factors—not just the speed of weight loss.Starting at the lowest dose and titrating slowly increases medication tolerance and long-term effectiveness.Lab markers such as A1C, glucose, cholesterol, and muscle mass are key indicators in determining if the medication and dosing are "working."Rapidly escalating to the highest dose can backfire, causing side effects and limiting future treatment options.Dieting mindsets and using medication solely as an appetite suppressant can lead to loss of lean mass and suboptimal health outcomes.Ongoing patient-provider relationships and regular lab work ensure medication strategies remain safe and effective.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea reflects on her initial desire for quick fixes and shares lessons learned about patience, nourishment, and long-term progress.

I'm back again for my fourth conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, an expert in the world of photobiomodulation (PBM), aka red light therapy. You know that when I have multiple conversations with a guest, I highly value their knowledge and want to go deeper with what they have to share. If you want to get VERY technical and go deep with the topic of PBM, this episode is for you, and I recommend you listen to the prior 3 episodes we've recorded together. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing, manage pain, and prevent injury. His approach focuses on a few fundamental questions: Are you treating surface or deep tissues? Are you seeking to stimulate healing/tissue repair or provide pain relief? His multi-dimensional approach explains why different devices produce different results, enabling more strategic use of both professional and at-home light therapy tools.

Welcome to episode #982 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Ethan Kross is one of the sharpest minds on the planet when it comes to understanding how our emotions shape our thoughts, decisions, and relationships. As a professor of psychology and business at the University of Michigan and the author of the bestselling books Chatter and Shift - Managing Your Emotions - So They Don't Manage You, Ethan brings together rigorous research and practical insight in ways that are deeply human and immediately useful. In our conversation, we explore what it takes to manage emotions in a world that feels like it's dialed up to 11 - from doomscrolling and overstimulation to the growing cultural obsession with emotional transparency. Ethan challenges some of our most common assumptions about how emotions work (no, avoidance isn't always bad; yes, anger has a place) and makes the case for building a “diverse emotional toolkit” - strategies that are flexible, personal, and context-specific. We talk about the influence of technology, how AI might fit into the future of mental wellness, and why dosing your news intake might be as important as getting your steps in. For anyone feeling like their emotions are a little closer to the surface these days, Ethan offers not just understanding - but agency. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 48:37.

Josh shares his transformational journey from emergency medicine to building one of the most robust red light therapy clinics in North America. Sparked by the tragic loss of his first wife to Crohn's disease and biologic-related cancer, Josh recounts how that experience ignited his pursuit of root-cause medicine, integrative therapies, and photobiomodulation. The episode dives deep into the clinical application of red light therapy and methylene blue — especially in combination — as tools for mitochondrial repair, anti-aging, and chronic disease recovery. Josh and Dr. Mike explore the synergistic effects of methylene blue and red light, optimal dosing strategies, and the importance of high-quality supplementation. They also address the challenges of consumer devices, the biohacker movement, and using light and energy to promote cellular regeneration. Topics include: • Josh's journey from paramedic to bioenergetic health leader • Why methylene blue + red light = mitochondrial magic • Dosing strategies, contraindications, and clinical applications • How to vet red light therapy devices and avoid snake oil • Real-world stories of healing from autoimmune, cancer, and neurodegeneration Whether you're a clinician, wellness entrepreneur, or biohacker, this episode is full of clinical pearls, personal insights, and practical protocols that highlight the future of medicine rooted in energy, light, and mitochondrial health. Josh Crawford is the Clinical Director of Genoa Integrative Health & Wellness, a leading clinic focused on root-cause healing, mitochondrial repair, and advanced integrative therapies. With a background in emergency medicine and paramedicine, Josh transitioned into the world of holistic health after the tragic loss of his first wife to complications from Crohn's disease and biologic treatment. This personal turning point fueled his mission to challenge conventional sick-care models and pursue modalities that restore cellular health—especially photobiomodulation (red light therapy) and methylene blue. Today, Josh blends clinical insight with cutting-edge technologies to help patients reverse chronic illness, restore vitality, and reclaim their lives. He is widely respected for his hands-on expertise, patient-first philosophy, and ability to bridge traditional medical training with bioenergetic and integrative solutions.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, the discussion revolves around patient positioning during procedural sedation, the pharmacology and application of Versed (Midazolam), and the nuances of dosing in various clinical scenarios. The speakers emphasize the importance of having a plan for airway management, the physiological implications of patient positioning, and the amnestic effects of Versed in trauma and surgical settings. They share insights from their experiences in austere environments, highlighting the need for adaptability and careful consideration of patient responses to sedation. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of IV amnestics, particularly focusing on Propofol and Midazolam, and the challenges faced during sedation in anesthesia. They discuss the importance of monitoring patient comfort, the nuances of sedation versus analgesia, and the implications of using drugs like Ketamine and Versed. The conversation highlights the critical nature of assessing patient responses and the difficulties in managing sedation effectively, emphasizing that sedation is often more challenging than general anesthesia.TakeawaysPatient positioning is crucial during procedural sedation.Recovery position may enhance airway protection during sedation.Always have a plan for airway management in different positions.Versed is a GABA agonist that promotes sedation and amnesia.Dosing of Versed varies significantly based on patient condition.In trauma cases, lower doses of sedatives may be necessary.Communication with the patient is key when administering sedatives.Understanding the pharmacodynamics of Versed aids in effective use.Amnestic effects of Versed can be dose-dependent.Clinical experience plays a significant role in medication administration. IV amnestics like Propofol and Midazolam do not have a guaranteed amnestic dose.Sedation is one of the most challenging aspects of anesthesia.Monitoring vital signs is crucial during sedation to assess patient comfort.The physiological state of the patient significantly affects drug dosing.Ketamine is not considered an amnestic drug by some providers.Patient comfort is paramount, and sedation must be carefully managed.The use of narcotics can help manage discomfort during sedation.Understanding the patient's history, such as alcohol use, is important for dosing.Sedation requires constant assessment and adjustment of medications.The complexities of sedation often make it more difficult than general anesthesia.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Patient Positioning in Procedural Sedation09:57 Understanding Versed: Mechanism and Usage19:54 Dosing Strategies for Versed in Different Patient Scenarios29:54 Amnestic Effects and Clinical Considerations of Versed35:05 Understanding IV Amnestics: Propofol and Midazolam39:01 The Challenges of Sedation in Anesthesia45:26 Monitoring and Assessing Patient Comfort During Sedation51:27 Navigating the Complexities of Sedation and Analgesia57:55 The Role of Versed and Ketamine in Anesthesia01:01:39 Final Thoughts on Sedation Practices and Patient SafetyThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.deltadevteam.comFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
I'm excited to share my conversation with Dr. Scott Sherr, where we dive deep into methylene blue - a compound you've probably seen all over social media lately (those blue tongues!). As someone whose primary research focuses on Alzheimer's disease, I was fascinated to explore the science behind this molecule that dates back to the 1870s and was actually the first drug registered with the FDA in 1897. The most fascinating insight for me was learning how methylene blue can serve as an electron acceptor in our mitochondria - essentially functioning as a substitute for oxygen when our cells are under stress. This explains why it shows promise for everything from traumatic brain injury to cognitive enhancement and even as a potential alternative to stimulant medications. If you're interested in optimizing brain performance, understanding mitochondrial health, or simply curious about this blue compound that's suddenly everywhere, this episode provides both the scientific foundation and practical applications you need. Subscribe to The Neuroscience Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.
