Podcasts about drug administration

Imagine being literally exiled from your homeland for telling the truth. Dr. Pardis Mahdavi's story will stop you in your tracks. From witnessing Iran's underground sexual revolution to being kicked out of the country for writing about it, to losing her 20-year academic career as a university president: she's mastered the art of reinventing herself when life throws devastating curveballs. In this raw conversation, she reveals how she went from feeling like she belonged nowhere (rejected by both Iran and Iranian-Americans) to discovering the two powerful tools that saved her from every major life crisis: curiosity and collaboration. You'll discover why most of us skip the crucial first step when facing major transitions (hint: it's not about immediately taking action), how to stop performing for validation from your adult children, and why the voice in your head telling you you're "not enough" or "too much" might actually be pointing you toward your next evolution. Whether you're navigating empty nest syndrome, career transitions, or feeling like your body is betraying you in midlife, Pardis shares the anthropologist's secret to transforming devastating setbacks into launching pads for your most authentic life yet.   Learn More About Dr. Pardis Mahdavi:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/mahdavipardis  Website ➜ https://www.pardismahdavi.com/  Thank you to our show sponsors!

Episode #219 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I realize the relationship between bitters, incretins, and autophagy is more complex than a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The incretin response doesn't directly “promote” autophagy - it primarily regulates blood sugar and satiety. Autophagy is mainly triggered by nutrient scarcity and low insulin levels, not by bitter compounds themselves.  Can you weigh-in on using bitter greens during this reset? [16:07]  I have had some success lowering weight a couple times using fasting and time restricted eating but the weight creeps back up after a while even with doing TRE. What's nice is that I can get it to go back down again with discipline. I'm wondering what scientific evidence exists that your body set weight can successfully be reset for the long term as mine holds for a while but then wants to creep up and if there's a foolproof method to resetting your body set weight? [19:26] Your kidney patients who are T2D and close to needing dialysis, but are skinny, I'm assuming they need to fast for about a year to reverse the kidney damage, but how do they do it with so little fat mass? [26:56]  I know that vitamin D is fat soluble and best taken with a meal. I've also heard that all supplements are better absorbed when taken with a meal. Is this true? What timeframe is considered “with a meal”? Is it before, during or after the meal? Is vitamin D a stimulant and can disrupt sleep so best taken in the morning? [30:32] How do you rate the risk of new gallstones formation if a patient already has one or more when it comes to fasting protocols?

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases. This lab has produced previous implantable devices that have proved effective in controlling blood sugar in diabetic mice, but they can only last so long. "It's the proof of concept. We really proved that oxygenation is important, and oxygenation will support high cell-density capsules," Tempelman said. "The capsules are immune protective and last for a long time without having some kind of fouling of the membrane. The body never likes it when you put a foreign substance in. So that's the engineering in the Ma Lab, to look for materials and coatings for the materials that are immune protective, but also don't invoke excess response from the body because of the material." The next step will be to implant the system in a pig model, and also test it with human stem cells. The researchers are interested in eventually trying to use the system for implanting different cell types in humans for long-term treatment of chronic diseases, according to Tempelman, who is CEO of Persista Bio Inc., a new startup she founded with Ma and Flanders that is licensing these technologies. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-implant-diabetes-oxygenating-insulin-cells.html XX Mayo Clinic cancer research may be big news for T1D. After identifying a sugar molecule that cancer cells use on their surfaces to hide from the immune system, the researchers have found the same molecule may eventually help in the treatment of type 1. Cancer cells use a variety of methods to evade immune response, including coating themselves in a sugar molecule known as sialic acid. The researchers found in a preclinical model of type 1 diabetes that it's possible to dress up beta cells with the same sugar molecule, enabling the immune system to tolerate the cells. The findings show that it's possible to engineer beta cells that do not prompt an immune response   In the preclinical models, the team found that the engineered cells were 90% effective in preventing the development of type 1 diabetes. The beta cells that are typically destroyed by the immune system in type 1 diabetes were preserved.     https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-find-sugar-coating-cells-can-protect-those-typically-destroyed-in-type-1-diabetes/ XX A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning.   The drug, orforglipron, is a GLP-1, a class of drugs that have become blockbusters because of their weight-loss effects. But the GLP-1s on the market now are expensive, must be kept refrigerated and must be injected. A pill that produces similar results has the potential to become far more widely used, though it is also expected to be expensive.   Lilly said it would seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration later this year to market orforglipron for obesity and early in 2026 for diabetes. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/health/pill-glp-1-eli-lilly.html XX Use of diabetes technology has dramatically increased and glycemic control has improved among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the US over the past 15 years, but at the same time, overall achievement of an A1c level < 7% remains low and socioeconomic and racial disparities have widened. These findings came from an analysis of national electronic health records of nearly 200,000 children and adults with T1D by Michael Fang, PhD, of the Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, and colleagues. The study was published online on August 11, 2025, in JAMA Network Open. Use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) increased substantially from 2009-2011 to 2021-2023, from less than 5% in both children and adults to more than 80% and over half, respectively. While A1c levels did drop over the 15 years, just 1 in 5 children and slightly over a quarter of adults achieved a level < 7%. The average A1c level stayed above 8%, with ethnic minorities and low-income patients seeing the smallest gains.       https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-use-rise-a1c-reductions-still-lag-2025a1000lc9 XX Inflammation may predict how well people with diabetes respond to depression treatment, and the effects differ dramatically between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes and depression often appear together. Indeed, depression is more than three times more prevalent in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and nearly twice as prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). When they appear together, treatment for depression can vary widely. In a new study, researchers from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), the Research Institute of the Diabetes Academy Mergentheim (FIDAM), and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) investigated how inflammation in the body relates to improvement in depression symptoms in people with T1D and T2D. The researchers combined data from three previous German randomized clinical trials that aimed to reduce elevated depressive symptoms and diabetes distress in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes distress is characterized by feelings of overwhelm, frustration, guilt and worry about diabetes management and its potential complications. A total of 332 participants with T1D and 189 with T2D who had completed both a baseline and 12-month follow-up examination were included in the present study. Measures included depression using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), blood tests for 76 inflammatory biomarkers, and symptoms broken down into cognitive-affective (e.g., feeling hopeless), somatic (e.g., poor sleep, fatigue), and anhedonia (loss of pleasure) clusters.   After adjusting for factors like age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, cholesterol, and co-existing illnesses, the researchers found that in patients with T1D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to smaller improvements in depression. Inflammation seemed to be more connected to physical/somatic symptoms in T1D patients. In those with T2D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to greater improvements in depression. For these patients, the effect was strongest for cognitive-affective and anhedonia – so, emotional and motivational – symptoms.   The researchers weren't sure what caused the difference between T1D and T2D, but they suggest it might be due to the different forms of immune activation seen in each condition. That is, autoimmune processes in type 1 and metabolic inflammation in type 2. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/inflammation-diabetes-depression-treatment/ XX Parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes suffer an income drop in the years following the diagnosis. The impact is more pronounced in mothers, especially mothers of children diagnosed in preschool years. And these findings come from a European study.. not the US. Previous research has shown that parents of children with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of stress-related symptoms and may need to reduce their working hours. "In our study, we observed reduced parental work-related incomes in the years following the child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The drop was larger in mothers than in fathers. Since mothers earned significantly less than fathers in absolute terms, even before the child fell ill, the relative drop in mothers was 6.6% the year following diagnosis compared to 1.5% in fathers. We further note the greatest impact on work-related incomes in mothers of children diagnosed at preschool age," says Beatrice Kennedy, physician at the Endocrine and Diabetes unit at Uppsala University Hospital and Associate Professor of Medical Epidemiology at Uppsala University, who led the study. This is a huge study, builds on data from national population and health registers and the Swedish Child Diabetes Register (Swediabkids). The study includes the parents of more than 13,000 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Sweden in 1993−2014, as well as more than half a million parents in the general population who have children not diagnosed with diabetes.   The researchers observed that the maternal pension-qualifying incomes (a composite outcome including work-related income and societal benefits) initially increased after the child's diagnosis. This was attributable to mothers applying for the parental care allowance from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The parental care allowance was intended to compensate for disease-related loss of work-related income and contribute toward disease-specific costs.   When the research team investigated long-term effects in mothers, they found that the pension-qualifying incomes gradually decreased after eight years, and had not recovered by the end of follow-up − 17 years after the children were diagnosed. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250811/Mothers-face-greater-financial-impact-following-childe28099s-type-1-diabetes-diagnosis.aspx XX The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Metro Nashville Public Schools after allegations that the district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.   The parents of a student at the Ross Early Learning Center requested that the school monitor their child's glucose monitor. Investigators found the school refused to do so, despite the child's Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis.   As part of the settlement, MNPS agreed to change its policies to allow the use of these devices, ensure trained staff can monitor them throughout the entire school day and at school activities, and improve communication with parents. https://www.wsmv.com/2025/08/12/metro-nashville-public-schools-settles-allegations-it-discriminated-against-students-with-diabetes/ XX Modular Medical has unveiled Pivot, its next-generation insulin patch pump technology aimed at simplifying diabetes care. The company announced its new pump for “almost-pumpers” at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (“ADCES”) Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. It aims for Pivot to target adults with a user-friendly, affordable design.   Modular Medical's current pump, the MODD1, won FDA clearance nearly a year ago. It features new microfluidics technology to allow for the low-cost pumping of insulin. The system has a reservoir size of 300 units/3mL. Users can monitor the pump activity with their cell phone and do not require an external controller. The pump uses a provided, single-use, disposable battery.   The company announced recently that it validated its insulin pump cartridge line for human-use production in the U.S. Days later, it reported the first human use of the MODD1 pump.   Now, it has taken the next steps with the debut of a next-gen pump, set for FDA submission in October.   Modular Medical also gamifies diabetes care The company also said ADCES is the place where it will showcase the first playable level of its new Pivot pump gamified trainin module. Level Ex, a developer of medical games, develops the module.   Modular Medical said gamification offers a way to make medical training more effective and efficient while improving information retention. Given the complexity in pump uptake, the company hopes to provide an easy way to bring its technology to clinicians and patients.   The company expects to have training modules available at the same time as the pump's planned launch in 2026.   “Level One is free because diabetes mastery shouldn't come with a price tag,” Sam Glassenberg, CEO of Level Ex, said. “Modular Medical is breaking barriers too – bringing pump therapy to more people through smart, accessible design. Together, we intend to make diabetes management simpler and more inclusive.   “People learn best through play – and we believe they want to learn about insulin pumps the same way. In Level One, players aren't just mastering diabetes management through gameplay – they're asking to ‘play' with pumps: to explore how they work, understand their benefits, and build confidence before using them in real life. Our partnership with Modular Medical helps make that possible.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-unveils-next-gen-insulin-pump/ XX On Tuesday, 12 August 2025, Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) presented at the Canaccord Genuity's 45th Annual Growth Conference, outlining strategic shifts and market focus. The company highlighted its plans for commercial transformation in the U.S. and expansion in international markets, alongside addressing competitive challenges and regulatory impacts. While optimistic about growth in Outside the U.S. (OUS) markets, Tandem is navigating a more competitive landscape domestically. We have entered into the pharmacy channel with Mobi only. And so as Mobi's been building up volume, we're getting experience and we're really learning and understanding what pharmacy offers to us. And the proof points have proved out the thesis I said earlier, which is it can really reduce that barrier for patients, is the out of pocket cost. And so we've decided to accelerate our strategy and where we were starting just with Mobi, we are now moving t slim supplies into the pharmacy channel, and that will kick into gear in the fourth quarter. So as people are looking at the cadence of sales for the remainder of the year with this reframing, many folks are seeing what looks like a a might be an outsized fourth quarter and and having trouble understanding those dynamics. We'll be adding the tSIM supplies to those contracts. We also have more coverage. We will have it in the coming weeks effective this year, so we will be increasing that 30% rate before the end of the year. And then, obviously, everyone's in the same cycle right now already negotiating and discussing their 2026 coverage. And so 30% is the floor.   We do expect to continue to grow that coverage in the coming years, and ultimately have a much broader access. Absolutely. It's an exciting technology that allows for us to have an infusion set that extends the wear time from three days to up to seven days. So we're able to use that as part of an independent infusion set, which would then be used with the t slim and with the mobi pump today. But we're also using that same technology as part of the site that's used for mobi when you use it with a tubeless cartridge. So next year, we will launch Mobi in a patch configuration.   It uses the same pump that's available today, but by using a modified cartridge, you're able to wear it as a patch pump. So one of the things we announced on the call is that we're using this extended wear technology as part of that site. So what it allows you to do is to change the portion that you wear in your skin separate from the timing of when you change the insulin cartridge. So it allows for that extended wear time, reduction of burden to the patient, which is especially important for higher volume insulin users as we expand into type two. So from here, we will launch the extended wear site next year along with we'll do a separate regulatory filing for the cartridge portion for Mobi that includes this extended wear technology as a predicate device. So that's another filing that we'll need to do, but we have the clearance today for the independent infusion set, but we'll file another five ten k for use of the extended wear technology as part of the tubeless Mobi feature. https://za.investing.com/news/transcripts/tandem-diabetes-at-canaccord-conference-strategic-shifts-and-market-focus-93CH-3834464 XX MannKind today announced a significant regulatory submission and a large financing agreement with Blackstone. The company submitted its lead inhaled insulin product for expanded FDA approval and secured $500 million in funding, it said.   First, the Danbury, Connecticut-based company announced that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza, its inhaled insulin product, in the pediatric population.   MannKind Director of Medical and Scientific Engagement Joanne Rinker, MS, RDN, BC-ADM, CDCES, LDN, FADCES, told Drug Delivery Business News at ADA 2025 that a submission was on the way for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years old. Further data shared at ADA found Afrezza both safe and effective in that age range.   Afrezza is a fast-acting insulin formulation delivered through an inhaler device. MannKind engineered the mechanical inhaler device to slowly bring powder into the lung. A small compartment opens for the insertion of the insulin cartridge, then the user closes it. The only other component is a mouthpiece for the sake of cleanliness. Then, the inhalation takes just two seconds. It requires no electronics or extra components.   The company expects a review acceptance decision early in the fourth quarter of 2025.   “The submission of our supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in pediatric patients is a meaningful milestone for MannKind and people living with diabetes,” said Michael Castagna, CEO of MannKind Corporation.   Additional funding provides a significant boost for MannKind MannKind also announced a strategic financing agreement with funds managed by Blackstone worth up to $500 million. The financing provides MannKind with non-dilutive capital to advance its short- and long-term growth strategies.   This senior secured credit facility includes a $75 million initial term loan funded at closing. It then has a $125 million delayed draw term loan available for the next 24 months. Finally, it features an additional $300 million uncommitted delayed draw term loan available at the mutual consent of MannKind and Blackstone.   The facility bears interest at a calculated SOFR variable rate plus 4.75% and matures in August 2030.   “This strategic financing significantly increases our operating flexibility and provides us substantial access to non-dilutive capital on favorable terms, complementing our strong cash position,” said Castagna. “The funding will support the expansion of our commercial team in preparation for the anticipated launch of the pediatric indication for Afrezza, if approved, continued pipeline advancement, potential business development opportunities, and general corporate purposes. Partnering with the Blackstone team on this transaction positions us to accelerate our next phase of growth and innovation.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/mannkind-fda-submission-pediatrics-500m-blackstone/ XX   Medtronic MiniMed Abbott Instinct Sensor [Image from Medtronic Diabetes on LinkedIn] The Medtronic Diabetes business today took to social media to share an early preview of a new integrated Abbott sensor for its insulin delivery systems. Medtronic Diabetes — soon to be MiniMed after its planned separation from the medtech giant – said in the post that the new sensor specifically designed for its own systems is called “Instinct.”   “Get a sneak peek at what's coming next: the Instinct sensor,” the business unit's account wrote. “Made by Abbott, the Instinct sensor is designed exclusively for MiniMed systems. We'll share more details about the Instinct sensor when it's commercially available.”   The sensor, built on the Abbott FreeStyle Libre platform, reflects “the power of the partnership,” Abbott EVP, Diabetes Care, Chris Scoggins, told Drug Delivery Business News earlier this year.   Medtronic and Abbott — two of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — announced a year ago that they entered into a global partnership pairing Abbott continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with Medtronic insulin delivery systems.   The partnership aims to collaborate on a system based on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre CGMs with Medtronic's automated insulin delivery technology (the latest generation being the MiniMed 780G) and smart insulin pen systems, such as the InPen system.   Read more about Medtronic, Abbott and the rest of the diabetes tech industry in our free Diabetes Technology Special Report. Medtronic's systems previously used its own CGMs, such as the Guardian 4 and the Simplera platform, and the company intends to continue using those systems as part of a comprehensive CGM portfolio. Under the companies' agreement, the systems would be sold exclusively by Medtronic — including the Abbott CGM.   The companies brought the partnership a step further in April when Medtronic announced the submission of an interoperable pump with the Abbott sensor technology to the FDA. They plan to share more details following the expected FDA clearance, which remains pending.   Management also recently emphasized the multi-year nature of the partnership, meaning Medtronic could pair current and future pumps with other Abbott sensors in the future. That could hint at integration with the company's future dual glucose-ketone monitor, as a number of pump makers have already announced collaborations to pair their systems with the sensor once it hits the market. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-diabetes-previews-abbott-sensor-minimed/ XX Governor Glenn Youngkin joined Civica officials at the company's Petersburg manufacturing facility to announce a $3 million grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia to accelerate Civica's efforts to develop and produce affordable insulin for Americans living with diabetes.   CivicaRx Logo   "We are proud to partner with Civica in their mission to make essential medicines more accessible," said Governor Youngkin. "This investment reflects our belief in the power of public-private collaboration to improve lives and strengthen communities."   These funds will support the production of insulin aspart, a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to regulate blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. Civica plans to produce both rapid- and long-acting insulins at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Petersburg, Va., where the company now employs more than 200 skilled workers.1 Over 8 million people living with diabetes need rapid-acting and/or long-acting insulin.   The Governor also announced that he had officially proclaimed August 7 – 14 2025 'Life Sciences Week' demonstrating the Commonwealth's commitment to "accelerating the advancement of the life sciences through public-private partnerships, STEM education, workforce development, and sustained investment in research and development."   "We are grateful for the Commonwealth's support," said Ned McCoy, Civica's President and CEO. "This funding will help us move closer toward our goal of ensuring that no one has to choose between insulin and other basic needs."   Civica and Virginia officials were joined by Lynn Starr, Chief Global Advocacy Officer of Breakthrough T1D, the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization.   "More than one million American adults live with type 1 diabetes, and many still, sadly, ration their insulin, due to the prohibitively high cost of this necessary medication," said Starr.  "Civica's work will help to make insulin more affordable for people across the country."   Breakthrough T1D is among more than two dozen organizations and philanthropists, along with the states of Virginia and California, that have partnered with Civica to support the development of affordable insulins.   Civica's insulin initiative aims to provide patients with predictable, transparent pricing — no more than $30 per vial or $55 for a box of five pens — regardless of insurance status.   About Civica Civica is a nonprofit pharmaceutical company established to address drug shortages. It was founded by a group of U.S. health systems and philanthropies who, after more than a decade of chronic shortages, recognized that the market was not self-correcting and that a different approach is required. Civica works to deliver a safe, stable, and affordable supply of essential medicines to U.S. patients.   Media Contact: Liz Power liz.power@civicarx.org +1 860 501 3849 https://cbs4indy.com/business/press-releases/cision/20250807NY46213/governor-glenn-youngkin-announces-3-million-grant-to-support-civicas-affordable-insulin-programs/ XX If you or someone you love is living with diabetes, you already know the fight isn't just medical—it's financial, too. Between daily supplies, doctor visits, and long-term care, the cost of managing type 1 or type 2 diabetes can be overwhelming. Add college or trade school into the equation, and suddenly staying healthy competes with building a future. That's where scholarships for students with diabetes—like Beyond Scholars and others listed here—step in.   Whether you're headed to a university, a two-year college, or a hands-on trade program, these opportunities were created to ease the load.   Scholarships for students with diabetes Beyond Scholars (from Beyond Type 1): $10,000 for recently graduated high school seniors with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes entering college or trade school. This is one of the largest needs-based diabetes scholarships in the United States. This year, awardees will also receive 6 months of wellness coaching through Risely Health.   Applications open: July 25, 2025 Deadline: August 29, 2025 Winners announced: October 2025 https://beyondtype1.org/beyond-scholars-diabetes-scholarships-college-trade-school/ XX Nick Jonas and Kyle Rudolph are using their platforms for a good cause.   On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the singer and the former NFL tight end (via his professional fundraising platform Alltroo) announced they're teaming up to launch a rally featuring a fan-coveted prize: a custom 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric bus that the Jonas Brothers have brought along for their 20th anniversary tour.   “Ten years ago, we hit the road with a goal to change what it means to live with diabetes. Since then, Beyond Type 1 has grown into the world's largest digital diabetes community, offering the tools, education, and peer support needed to not only survive but thrive with diabetes,” Jonas, who co-founded Beyond Type 1 (a nonprofit that advocates for those living with diabetes), says in a statement.     “We've challenged stigma, built community, provided life-saving resources, and collectively driven global innovation toward prevention and cure. This milestone is a moment to rally even more support for our mission, and partnering with Alltroo helps us do that in a powerful, engaging way.”   Related Stories Nick Jonas on Managing His Diabetes: 'The Mental and Emotional Health Aspect Is Really Important' nick jonas Nick Jonas Says He Was Diagnosed with Diabetes After Joe Told Their Parents: 'Something's Really Wrong' Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas attend the amfAR Cannes Gala 30th edition at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 23, 2024 For Rudolph, the campaign is about "celebrating Beyond Type 1's incredible work over the past decade, and standing behind their vision of a world where everyone with diabetes — or at risk of it — has access to the knowledge, care and support needed for early diagnosis and lifelong health."   While the rally is live on Alltroo.com, fans can also scan QR codes available at all 36 Jonas Brothers concert stops to enter for a chance to win the electric bus. (A winner will be selected on November 14, which is World Diabetes Day.)   Jonas, 32, has long been open about his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis at 13 years old. "I had this kind of wrench thrown into things when I was diagnosed and it took a while to figure out how to count carbs to properly dose for insulin and what things would affect me in different ways," he previously told PEOPLE.   "When I was first diagnosed, I was sitting in the hospital and was scared to death, honestly, while I was learning about how to manage this new thing I was dealing with," Jonas recalled. "It would have been amazing to have someone to look at at that time to say, oh, this is a person living with it and they're following their dreams. They're doing what they want to do with their lives and not letting it slow them down."           https://people.com/nick-jonas-kyle-rudolph-launch-fan-rally-diabetes-awareness-11788684

On this episode of DOZ, I'll introduce a comprehensive master class on gluten-free living, emphasizing the importance of understanding gluten and its impact on health. I'll share my experiences witnessing the limitations of conventional medical approaches to autoimmune diseases, particularly those related to gluten sensitivity. Gluten is a significant factor in the rise of autoimmune diseases since the 1950s and we need a broader definition of gluten sensitivity beyond just wheat, barley, and rye. We'll also discuss the complexities of gluten reactions in individuals, the inadequacies of traditional testing methods, and the necessity for patients to engage in informed discussions with their healthcare providers about gluten sensitivity and its potential health implications.Gluten Sensitive?  Take the quiz & Join Our Community ▶https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-sensitivity-intolerance-self-test/Get my quick start guide on going gluten free: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/how-to-go-gluten-free/Nutritional Crash Courses Playlist: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/nutritionGet Gluten Free Supplements: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop-home/No Grain No Pain the Book: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/NoGrainNoPainGlutenology Masterclass (Ultimate Guide): https://glutenology.net/registrationTo connect with Dr. Osborne visit:On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterOsborne/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/docosborne/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drosborneTwitter: https://twitter.com/glutenologyRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3908832Podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-osbornes-zone/id1706389688?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Zdf07GgpRAVwlSsYvirXTAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/20d71b2e-3554-4569-9d5b-4259785cdc94Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTkwNjcwNC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkiHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/119388846*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Could your skincare routine be aging you faster? What if everything you've been told about "natural" beauty is actually damaging your skin? If you've ever wondered why some women seem to age backwards while others struggle with every little new line, this episode reveals the science behind what actually works versus what we're sold as "anti-aging miracles." Join me for this game-changing conversation with Dr. Kay, an internationally renowned facial plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience who's about to shatter everything you think you know about aging gracefully. Dr. Kay breaks down the world of bio-rejuvenation therapy (how your body can literally reverse its own aging process when given the right tools). We dive deep into the controversial salmon sperm treatments (it's not what you think!), why timing your first facelift could make or break your results, and the shocking truth about how long fillers really last. You'll discover why "natural" skincare might be sabotaging your skin, which type of Botox has 10 times fewer toxins, and the cellular energy secret that makes children's skin glow while ours turns dull. Additionally, we address common misconceptions about sun exposure and the pros and cons of different skincare routines.

Episode #218 In this week's Turbo Talk episode, Terri gets real about a truth we often overlook—every goal has a price tag. Whether it's time, money, energy, risk, comfort, or emotional resilience, every transformation requires an investment.  Terri challenges you to ask yourself three powerful questions:

It's Tuesday, August 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 4 of 5 most populated countries hostile to Christianity International Christian Concern reports that now “four of the five most populous countries in the world share a disturbing reality: Christians are systematically and harshly persecuted within their borders.” And we would add that these four nations have stepped up persecution against Christians over the last ten years. The four countries are China with a population of 1.41 billion people, India with a population of 1.46 billion people, Indonesia with a population of 285 million people, and Pakistan with a population of 255 million people. By contrast, the United States, with a population of 347 million people, is the other top 5 most populated country which actually allows for religious freedoms. Russia won't comply with 1987 moratorium on nuclear missiles Last week, Russia announced it will no longer comply with the 1987 moratorium on deployment of nuclear-capable intermediate range missiles. These missiles are designed to bring total annihilation to European cities. This opens the way for nuclear-capable launch vehicles to be deployed proximate to theaters of military operation. China doubled nuclear warheads China began its nuclear buildup in 2018—increasing its nuclear firepower from 280 to 600 warheads, and adding 350 new Intercontinental ballistic missile silos this year. This buildup took place at the same time France and the United Kingdom reduced their nuclear arsenals. 80th anniversary since U.S. dropped atomic bombs in Japan This month marks the 80th anniversary since the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The city of Hiroshima marked the anniversary with a memorial event. The city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, addressed the gathering, as one whose parents survived the 1945 attack. Suzuki said, ”Conflicts around the world are intensifying in a vicious cycle of confrontation and fragmentation . . . and if we continue on this trajectory, we will end up thrusting ourselves into a nuclear war. This existential crisis of humanity has become imminent to each and every one of us living on Earth." Youth unemployment up worldwide The BBC reports some Chinese college graduates are actually paying for a pretend job. The outlet mentions a business called “Pretend to Work Company."   With real jobs increasingly hard to come by, some young adults would rather pay to go into an office rather than to be stuck at home. This year, China's youth unemployment rate has scraped 17 percent. Canada has seen a sharp increase of youth unemployment—now at 14.2 percent. Italy's rate is upwards of 22 percent, and the United Kingdom has seen more increases of youth unemployment what they call “youth economic inactivity” in recent years—now at 13.4 percent. But youth unemployment in South Africa is the highest at 61 percent. The Apostle Paul exhorts the youth and all of us that "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread." (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12) World Vision justified in denying employment to a lesbian The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled  that the Christian ministry, World Vision, was well within the law when they denied employment to a lesbian named Aubry McMahon who was in a sinful relationship with a woman she called her “wife.” The court held that the ministry had not violated federal or Washington state non-discrimination laws because it was covered under the “ministerial exception.”  Abortion Kill Pill has enabled abortion rate to increase despite Dobbs Americans are killing significantly more babies following the U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade through the Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022. Official records put the annual number at 1.1 million, up from 880,000 in 2020. That's a 25 percent increase. The difference appears to be made up by the abortion kill pill by mail program. About 63 percent of the murder of babies is executed by the abortion pill now, and 25 percent of all abortions come by “Telehealth” or by mail. Twenty-two leading Southern Baptist pastors have issued a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting that the administration “stop the mail-order distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone.” To this point, the Trump administration has been reticent to limit access to the abortion kill pill. In May, the U.S. Justice Department recommended tossing out a lawsuit that would have restricted a reduction of access to Telehealth abortions. In an interview with interview with Time Magazine in December, the president reiterated five times, that it was "highly unlikely” the Food and Drug Administration would do anything to restrict access to the Abortion Kill Pill.  However, God is in control. Jeremiah 51:19, 20, and 24 reminds us "He is the Maker of all things;  and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The Lord of hosts is His name. You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you, I will break the nation in pieces, says the Lord." California fire has burned 120,000 acres The State of California is dealing with more out-of-control fires. The Gifford Fire started up last Wednesday, and has already consumed some 120,000 acres. It's now threatening the towns of Arroyo Grande and Santa Maria. Sadly, it's only 30 percent contained.  Grand Canyon fire has burned 144,000 acres The Dragon Bravo fire in Arizona has shut down the Grand Canyon North Rim for the season.   This fire has burned up 144,000 acres. In God's all powerful workings, this fire began by lightning strike on Independence Day, July 4th. Despite tariff revenues, 2025 U.S. deficit is $109 million higher than 2024 And finally, despite the Department of Government Efficiency, the tariff hullabaloo, and the influx of import taxes to the federal government coffers, this year's deficit, through July, is a whopping $109 billion more than it was last year. The deficit totaled $1.6 trillion over the first 10 months of fiscal year 2025—heading towards a $1.9 trillion deficit for the year. That's about eight times the average deficit incurred under the George W. Bush administration.

Today's episode of Dr. Osborne's Zone focuses on Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and its critical role in human health. A deficiency in thiamine can lead to severe health issues, including heart failure, nerve damage, and cognitive decline. Thiamine is essential for converting food into energy and supports various bodily functions, such as eye health, digestion, and muscle contraction.Despite its importance, thiamine deficiency is prevalent, even in developed countries, often overlooked by healthcare providers. Risk factors include high carbohydrate diets, alcohol consumption, and certain medications, particularly among diabetics. We will touch on the need for awareness and testing for thiamine deficiency, as it can mimic other medical conditions. We'll also look at how a balanced diet rich in whole foods is helpful to maintain adequate thiamine levels. Finally, we'll take a look at some recommendations for supplementation!Supplements mentioned in this video:Ultra B1 - http://glutenfreesociety.org/UltraB1B Complete - http://glutenfreesociety.org/BCompleteLipogest - http://glutenfreesociety.org/LipogestUltra MG - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop/health-focus/daily-wellness/ultra-mg-premium-magnesium/INA Testing - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop/general-health/micronutrient-test-kit/Magnesium Crash Course - https://youtube.com/live/v8-AXmyf1LkGluten Sensitive?  Take the quiz & Join Our Community ▶https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-sensitivity-intolerance-self-test/Get my quick start guide on going gluten free: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/how-to-go-gluten-free/Nutritional Crash Courses Playlist: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/nutritionGet Gluten Free Supplements: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop-home/No Grain No Pain the Book: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/NoGrainNoPainGlutenology Masterclass (Ultimate Guide): https://glutenology.net/registrationTo connect with Dr. Osborne visit:On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterOsborne/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/docosborne/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drosborneTwitter: https://twitter.com/glutenologyRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3908832Podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-osbornes-zone/id1706389688?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Zdf07GgpRAVwlSsYvirXTAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/20d71b2e-3554-4569-9d5b-4259785cdc94Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTkwNjcwNC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkiHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/119388846*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

A recent expert panel organized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cast doubt on the safety of SSRIs in pregnancy -- sparking backlash from medical institutions and doctors. Lauren Osborne, M.D., vice chair of Clinical Research at the Department of OBGYN at Weill Cornell Medicine and chair of The National Curriculum in Reproductive Psychiatry (NCRP), explains what the science says about antidepressant use during pregnancy.

In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray, PhD in integrative and functional nutrition, reveals the shocking truth about HRT that could change how you approach midlife health forever. After working with tens of thousands of women over 20 years and diving deep into the research that conventional medicine ignores, she's uncovering why the fear around hormones is largely unfounded – and why that fear might be robbing you of your best years. From her own devastating experience with early perimenopause after a tubal ligation to becoming one of the world's experts in women's hormone metabolism, Dr. Murray shares the game-changing Medicare study of 10 million women that proves everything we thought we knew about HRT risks was wrong. She breaks down the real difference between therapeutic dosing and dangerous over-prescribing, explains why "estrogen dominance" doesn't mean what you think it does, and reveals why your body's estrogen receptors actually INCREASE during menopause – not decrease like we've been told. We also explore her telemedicine platform, The Minerva Project, designed to offer holistic, evidence-based hormonal care to women across the United States. This is the science-backed roadmap to reclaiming your vitality, protecting your brain, and thriving through midlife without apology. If you've been on the fence about HRT or struggling with conflicting advice from practitioners, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to make the best decision for YOUR unique situation.

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show that brings you the most current news and insights on Ozempic, semaglutide, and the world of medical weight loss. Today we are diving into the latest clinical findings, real-life impacts, and debates about the future of this groundbreaking medication.Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, has been a game changer in managing type 2 diabetes, but what is making headlines is its powerful effect on weight loss. Large clinical trials, highlighted by the STEP studies and summarized by Heally and Dr Oracle, show patients on semaglutide 2 point 4 milligrams weekly have lost an average of almost 15 percent of their body weight after about 16 months. That is a remarkable number compared to older options. However, the rise of even newer drugs, such as tirzepatide, is moving the average even higher, up to 22 percent according to recent trials, yet Ozempic remains a trusted and widely prescribed option due to its solid balance of safety and effectiveness.Despite these successes, important new research and medical commentary from University of Virginia and Medical News Today reveal a nuanced picture. Weight loss from Ozempic is not just burning fat—it can also reduce muscle and even affect bone density. People have reported feeling like their strength has faded while using the drug. This loss of lean mass is now under the microscope, with recent studies confirming that a significant fraction of the weight lost may be muscle, not just fat. Maintaining muscle is essential for long-term health, heart function, and quality of life, especially as we age. Scientists and doctors now emphasize the importance of adding resistance exercise and prioritizing adequate protein intake if you or someone you know is using Ozempic for weight loss.Another topic in the headlines is what happens when people stop Ozempic. According to researchers at McGill University, stopping the drug often results in regaining some weight—roughly half of what was lost after a year off treatment. This makes weight maintenance an ongoing process, often requiring sustained lifestyle changes or ongoing medication.Not all Ozempic is created equal, and the Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers to avoid unapproved or counterfeit versions sold online. FDA officials report that unapproved versions may not only be less effective, they can be dangerous, with some found to contain incorrect ingredients or inappropriate dosing. Always get your prescription from a licensed pharmacy, and never buy these drugs labeled as research chemicals or not for human use.Amid booming interest, another trend is the rise of GLP-1 mimicking supplements that claim to offer similar weight loss. According to Harvard experts, these supplements are neither as effective nor as rigorously tested as true semaglutide medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. For real results and safety, stick with prescribed medications under medical supervision.Before we go, here is a quick roundup. Ozempic and its class of GLP-1 drugs are transforming weight loss medicine, but they come with caveats: possible muscle loss, the potential for weight regain, and uncertainties about long-term impacts beyond the scale, like heart and lung function. Pairing Ozempic with healthy eating, resistance training, and medical guidance gives the best shot at long-lasting health.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Did you know that chronic pain can become as addictive as any drug, trapping your brain in cycles that make healing nearly impossible? In this episode, I share my recent experience of dealing with unexpected all consuming nerve pain following a disc replacement surgery. I've navigated pain off and on my whole life, but this was a new level. I bring on my friend, Scotty Scheller, who spent five years paralyzed and in excruciating pain after a hockey injury. This conversation exposes the hidden connections between high-performance personalities, DNA, and chronic pain cycles.  What started as my search for relief became a masterclass in neuroscience and healing: from discovering how certain genetic profiles make us more susceptible to pain addiction, to learning why high achievers often push their bodies into states where recovery becomes impossible, this episode challenges everything you think you know about healing. Scotty's transformation from a suicidal, bed-ridden former athlete to a thriving entrepreneur reveals the power of identity shifting and focus redirection.  You'll discover why meditation isn't just "woo-woo" but actual neuroscience, how brown noise can quiet your overactive mind, and why the medication you're taking might be working against your genetic blueprint. Most importantly, you'll learn practical strategies for breaking free from pain-focused thinking and reclaiming your life. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain yourself or supporting someone who is, this deep dive into the cutting-edge science of neuroplasticity, identity transformation, and the incredible power your mind has to either trap you in suffering or set you completely free will change how you think about healing, recovery, and human potential forever.   ✅ Sign up for the free DNA deep dive here → https://midlifeconversations.com/dna    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Scotty Scheller:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/scottyscheller  Thank you to our show sponsors!

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Elias Klemperer from the University of Vermont, USA. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Elias Klemperer behavioural scientist and licenced clinical psychologist, Department of Psychiatry, University of Vermont, USA. Elias works in the field of tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control. He has a special interest in long-term users of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes, dual users, a group who take in nicotine via two methods. In the July podcast Elias Klemperer discusses his recent 2 × 2 factorial trial randomized trial of nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) in 396 young adult dual users aged 18–29 (DOI: 10.1093/ntr/ntaf119). In a randomized factorial trial participants are randomly placed into different groups to test more than one treatment at the same time. The study was funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Cancer Institute, USA. Elias Klemperer and his team carried out this study as little is known regarding nicotine replacement therapy for young adult dual users, or whether to recommend quitting versus continuing e-cigarettes during smoking cessation treatment. The participants received 12 weeks of combination NRT compared to no NRT for stopping smoking, plus text-based treatment recommendations to quit or to continue using e-cigarettes. This advice was delivered via written material, an animated video they developed in-house, and text message support during the 12-week treatment period. The study looked at abstinence from cigarettes at 12 and 24 weeks. Their study found that NRT was effective in promoting early smoking cessation among young adult dual users. Their secondary findings indicated that pairing NRT with support to quit both products could enhance the effects on prolonged cigarette abstinence. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Our search for the EC for smoking cessation review carried out on 1st July 2025 found six papers linked studies included in the review (10.1101/2025.05.06.25327053; 10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.101833; 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2025.112740; 10.1186/s13722-025-00575-w; 10.1038/s41598-025-03904-w; 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-098005). Our search for our interventions for quitting vaping review up to 1st July 2025 found one new study by Klemperer et al discussed in this podcast (10.1093/ntr/ntaf119), one new ongoing study (10.1136/bmjopen-2024-096963), and two linked papers (10.1093/heapro/daaf085; 10.1016/j.jadohealth.2025.04.012).

If you've ever wondered why your body seems to backfire against every diet and exercise plan that works for everyone else, this episode will blow your mind. We're diving deep into the genetic factors that explain why your friend can eat pizza daily while staying thin, why certain health supplements make you feel worse instead of better, and why your "high-functioning anxiety" might actually be your genetic superpower. In this episode, we explore how DNA plays a vital role in our health and aging journey.    Our guest, DNA expert Kashif Khan, shares his shocking personal story of developing five chronic diseases while his business partner - who lived virtually the same lifestyle - stayed perfectly healthy. The answer wasn't found in willpower or lifestyle changes. It was written in his DNA. Specifically, he was missing an entire gene responsible for detoxification, turning everyday foods into inflammatory triggers.    We uncover how genetic variations impact everything from hormone metabolism to mood regulation and weight management. We discuss ways to navigate midlife health challenges by understanding and optimizing our unique genetic profiles. Khan shares personal stories, including his own health struggles, and offers practical insights on supplements, lifestyle changes, and genetic testing that can transform how we age. Whether it's dealing with hormone imbalances, understanding mitochondrial health, or addressing autoimmune disorders, this episode provides a science-backed roadmap for harnessing the power of your DNA for better health.

Hey Mama,  Anxiety and stress in children is skyrocketing in our society today. With the overstimulation of modern technology and access to more information than we need, it can be hard to process through our emotions and feelings. Unfortunately, society today celebrates the suppression and numbing of our feelings and emotions through non-stop dopamine hits of social media scrolling, nightly wine celebrations for surviving our children for the day, and pushing medications that can make us feel numb.  But what if, instead of numbing our feelings, we preach to them? What if we acknowledge the feelings and then we put them to the test against the TRUTH- God's truth- to engage in the battle of God's truth versus lies we are agreeing with.  Join me today as I share with you 3 simple ways to help teach your children how to seek God when they are stressed.   For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain (and maybe the hospital gown) on something I rarely go into detail about... my long, complicated, sometimes comical history with fourteen surgeries. Yep, 14. From having a tumor removed at age three, to getting breast implants (and later explanting them), to a full-on spinal disc replacement… it's been a journey! Spoiler alert: almost all roads lead back to my back. Whether it was compensating during workouts, posture shifts from surgery scar tissue, or the ripple effects of certain cosmetic procedures, neurological issues and more…  my spine has carried the load... literally and metaphorically... for decades. I open up about: Why I got each surgery (the real reasons, not just the Instagram explanation) What I regret, what I don't, and what I really want women in midlife to know before going under the knife How I finally ended up needing my L5-S1 disc replaced (ouch… and also, wow) The things that are ACTUALLY helping me recover like red light, peptides, compression, hydration, and walking (even when it feels like dragging a noodle-leg down the street) If you're navigating surgery, chronic pain, or even just frustrated that your body feels like it's falling apart faster than your favorite jeans... this episode is for you.

What if everything you've been told about aging is wrong - and your best body is actually waiting for you after 50? In this game-changing episode, I sit down with an incredible woman, Alicia Erickson, who shattered every expectation about midlife by quitting alcohol, ditching CrossFit for heavy weights, and getting absolutely shredded at 50. Her transformation started with a painful realization: the nightly wine ritual that helped her cope with stress had become a prison for her body that she couldn't escape. Despite being active her entire life - marathons, triathlons, years of CrossFit - her body was betraying her as she entered midlife.   Alicia shares the shocking truth about how increasing her protein intake transformed her hunger, why she had to stop doing cardio to finally see results, and the exact "midlife trifecta" that helped her lose 15 pounds and completely recomp her body. From struggling with 4-5 nights of drinking per week to becoming someone who deadlifts heavy and feels better than she did at 30, and the transformation didn't stop with her! Her husband watched her dedication for a year before joining her journey, dropping 60 pounds and getting off blood pressure medication. Proof that midlife can be your launch pad, not your limitation.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Alicia Erickson:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/aliciae  Website ➜ http://aliciaericksonapp.com/  Thank you to our show sponsors!

Hey Mama,  As a mom of two boys,I have come to experience that emotional melt downs can come and any age, in any stage.  Just like we get overstimulated or overwhelmed, so do our children. And while we try to navigate the various stages and versions of our children's meltdowns, sometimes we just feel helpless. But did you know there is something you can do to help your children manage their emotions? Helping children manage and process emotions is no small feat. As moms, we often struggle with our own ability to manage our stressors. However, there are three simple steps you can take, even as a busy mom, to help your child create a healthy foundation for mood management, no matter the age.

Rich Brown is a retired Marine Corps Officer, former Police Officer, and the Co-Host of America's leading Self-Defense podcast, the American Warrior Show. On today's American Warrior Show, we will be joined by Mike Chesne. Mike founded Tecton after a storied 25-year career in the United States Army Special Operations. At Tecton, as Chairman of the Board and Chief of Innovation, he maintains the corporate vision and mission while continuing to delve deeply into scientific exploration to create new and innovative ways to broaden the scope and breadth of Tecton's product portfolio and intellectual property landscape.   At the outset of Tecton, he developed the biochemical makeup and design for the Tecton Ketone molecule. He then methodically worked on the methods, processes, and procedures necessary to formulate and manufacture the molecule from the benchtop to large-scale manufacturing. This process was designed to make it the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly process possible, beginning with organic byproducts and enzymes and finishing with no hazardous waste. Mike founded an emergency medical supply company shortly before retiring from the army. This company developed trauma and emergency medical kits for all branches of the United States Department of Defense, as well as many of our NATO allied countries, and some of these kits are still standard issue in several different military forces to this day. Mike exited this business (Caromeds) and went into global healthcare consulting, working with the Ministries of Health of Afghanistan, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, etc. During this period, he developed the curriculum for the first-ever nursing school in Afghanistan, realigned the entire healthcare system and medical doctor training program in Afghanistan, assisted in the logistics and manning of the Faruq Medical Center in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan, Iraq, and helped the Algerian government design and develop their own version of the Food and Drug Administration.   His experience in the United States Army working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) led him to develop a keen understanding of the scientific method and of cutting-edge science. In 2012, he read about an older DARPA project which involved the search for a nutritional supplement that would improve physical performance and cognition by thirty percent. This project started in 2004 and had been funded for nearly ten million dollars. It never met the full requirement, so it was ended. The end product of that research was an exogenous ketone developed by Oxford University and the National Institutes of Health. He ended his healthcare consulting, went to Oxford, and began working on ketones. He is a motivational speaker who speaks at veterans' events and fundraisers around the country, as well as brain injury and brain health symposiums sponsored by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. He has received many awards and decorations while serving in the army and served in the most prestigious units in the army. He has served in combat throughout the globe and continues to serve veterans through his charity work.   Mike is passionate about helping others. He serves on the Board of Directors of multiple veteran non-profits and has served in many roles in these organizations, including Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Treasurer, Co-Founder, etc. He will continue to serve these deserving people for as long as he is physically able. He splits his time between Orlando, Florida, with his wife, oldest son, three grandsons, and daughter-in-law, and Alexandria, Louisiana, with his wife, youngest son, two...

Are you being told that your menopause symptoms are "just part of aging" when there might actually be hidden “hose kinks” and infections causing your exhaustion, brain fog, and hot flashes? What if your persistent lower back pain, thyroid issues, and nighttime bathroom trips all stem from the same hidden cause?  In this episode, we explore a fresh perspective on menopause and women's health with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) expert, Dr. Christopher Motley. He reveals how TCM can alleviate common menopausal symptoms by addressing hidden bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in your kidneys, liver, and bladder that  He also explains why your thyroid medication might not be working, how emotions get trapped in your organs creating physical pain, and why that lower back pain could actually be a kidney infection you don't even know you have. Learn specific herbs and acupuncture protocols he uses to help women rewire their body's “electrical system” to reclaim their vitality without extreme diets or complicated hormone protocols. Prepare to have what you thought you knew about menopause turned upside down.  Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Dr. Chris Motley:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/doctormotley    Website ➜  http://www.doctormotley.com    Thank you to our show sponsors!
