What can an endurance athlete's mindset teach us about entrepreneurship and leadership? In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Regan Archibald talks with entrepreneur and coach Taylor Thomas about how years of training shaped the way he builds businesses and works with founders. Taylor explains why a good idea must solve a real customer problem, and why putting it into the world early creates the feedback needed to improve it. They discuss learning from failure, making decisions when there is no clear roadmap, and growing from a founder who tries to have every answer into a leader who trusts his team. The conversation offers perspective for anyone considering a new venture, at any stage of life.Taylor ThomasFounder and Master CoachTaylor believes in the power of business to be transformative in the lives of both the team and clients involved. As a young entrepreneur, Taylor co-founded a technology company in his early 20s and went on to found Thomas Endurance Coaching (TEC) which today is one of the most well-respected coaching groups in the world. Taylor believes that building scalable and tech-focused companies doesn't have to come at the expense of the impact that the company has on its customers and its team. Taylor's skills as a coach have earned him a spot on the Top 20 List at the Coach Foundation, one of the biggest names in the coaching industry. Taylor's commitment to this work can be seen not only in his work as the head of Business Development at TEC, but also in his podcast, writing, and speaking.

What shapes the way you think about health, longevity, and the choices you make? In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald sits down with entrepreneur, author, filmmaker, and chiropractor Dr. Patrick Gentempo for a wide-ranging conversation about the philosophy behind our beliefs and decisions. Patrick shares the three questions he believes everyone should consider—What do I believe? Why do I believe it? And what am I going to do about it?—while exploring how personal experiences, culture, evidence, and intuition can influence the way we see the world. They also discuss Patrick's journey into documentary filmmaking, the importance of thinking critically rather than simply following conventional narratives, and the rapidly changing future shaped by AI, polarization, consciousness, and technology. The conversation closes with a timely challenge: become more intentional about where you place your attention and direct it toward the people, ideas, and work that inspire you and serve others.Dr. Patrick Gentempo is a chiropractor by training but he's built way beyond that. He's an entrepreneur, author, speaker, documentary producer. He's also the co-founder of Wisdom Nutrition. He's developed patented diagnostic technologies used by thousands of health care providers, and he's the author of Your Stand is Your Brand. Patrick spent decades thinking about something most of us never stopped to examine — the philosophy behind our health decisions, what we believe, why we believe it, and what we actually do about it.RESOURCES:Dr. Gentempo:*Website — https://gentempo.com/LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE DR.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart and OB-GYN Dr. Salome Masghati examine how common hormone interventions can affect women far beyond pregnancy prevention or symptom relief. They discuss the risks and tradeoffs of different birth control options, possible effects on mood, libido, testosterone, and attraction, and why individual responses can vary significantly. The conversation then explores when to consider HRT, the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, thyroid testing beyond TSH, and how shifting hormones may contribute to mast cell symptoms during perimenopause. The episode provides a practical framework for making more informed and personalized decisions about hormone care. Dr. Salome Masghati is a board-certified OB-GYN and functional gynecologist whose work focuses on individualized hormone care for women throughout their reproductive years, perimenopause, and menopause. Her approach combines symptoms, menstrual patterns, comprehensive laboratory testing, metabolic markers, and treatment response to understand each patient's complete health picture rather than relying on a single test or standardized protocol. She works with bioidentical and rhythmic hormone strategies, thyroid care, sexual wellness, and root-cause assessment, emphasizing informed choices, careful monitoring, and helping patients move beyond temporary symptom control toward better long-term health and function.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Lee Whitley and physician Dr. Ira Price for a wide-ranging discussion about Lee's proprietary cannabis formulation and the extraordinary cancer-treatment claims surrounding it. Lee shares his own experience with stage IV squamous cell throat cancer, patient case stories, oral and injectable applications, dosing, and alleged pharmaceutical acquisition offers, while Dr. Price separates what he has personally observed from what has yet to be established through rigorous research. The conversation explores cannabinoids, THC, CBD, terpenes, chemotherapy and radiation, pathology and imaging, the limitations of anecdotal evidence, and the regulatory, funding, and data-access barriers standing between individual case reports and credible clinical trials. Lee Whitley is an entrepreneur and the creator of Lee's Oil and Lee Helps, a cannabis-based project that grew out of his personal experience with cancer and his years of developing and refining a proprietary cannabis formulation. He has since become an outspoken advocate for studying the results he says he has observed through formal clinical research. Dr. Ira Price is a physician with nearly two decades of experience prescribing cannabinoids and researching medical cannabis, including published work on cannabis for opioid substitution and years of lecturing internationally on cannabinoid medicine. Together, Whitley and Dr. Price bring two very different perspectives to the conversation—one shaped by personal experience and unconventional experimentation, and the other by clinical practice, scientific skepticism, and a focus on evidence, regulation, and properly designed trials.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy for a wide-ranging conversation on cancer prevention and the factors she believes influence long-term health. Dr. Connealy shares her perspective on why cancer should be approached as a whole-body problem, exploring the roles of nutrition, metabolic health, environmental toxins, sleep, stress, hormones, and mitochondrial function. They also discuss fasting and ketogenic diets, cancer screening, GLP-1 medications, aspirin, peptides, medicinal mushrooms, IV vitamin C, and other integrative approaches, along with Dr. Connealy's concerns about conventional screening and treatment practices. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes individualized care and looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the broader conditions affecting each patient. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is a medical doctor with four decades of experience who takes a prevention-focused, whole-person approach to health, longevity, and complex chronic disease. Her work spans human optimization through advanced conditions including cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease, and Parkinson's, with an emphasis on identifying and addressing factors that may interfere with the body's ability to function optimally. Her approach was shaped in part by her own health journey after learning that she had been exposed before birth to DES (diethylstilbestrol), which led her to undergo ongoing evaluations at MD Anderson and explore medicine beyond conventional symptom-based care. Over her career, she has incorporated individualized laboratory assessment, natural hormones, nutrition, peptides, and other integrative strategies while emphasizing what she describes as "creating health" rather than simply treating a diagnosis.

What if the gut microbiome is one of the most important foundations of whole-body health? In this episode, I sit down with Jenny Olson, Clinical Science Lead for Microbiome Labs, to explore the intricate relationship between gut health, the microbiome, and overall wellness. Together, we discuss how dysbiosis can affect the gut ecosystem, why microbial diversity matters, and how the microbiome communicates with the rest of the body through the gut-brain connection. Jenny also shares insights into the different organisms that make up the microbiome, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and how their genetic and metabolic activity can influence health. Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, someone struggling with gut health, or simply interested in understanding the microbiome more deeply, this conversation offers valuable insights into why supporting the gut may be one of the most important steps toward long-term health. Key takeaways: The Importance of Diversity in Gut Health: A thriving microbiome relies on a diverse array of species. Diversity ensures robust metabolic functions, nutrient synthesis, and optimal immune regulation. Keystone Species and Their Role: Specific bacteria like Akkermansia and Roseburia serve as keystone species. They significantly impact metabolic byproducts and overall microbial balance, supporting gut and systemic health. The Impact of Lifestyle Factors: Quality sleep, stress management, and diet-heavy in unprocessed, fiber-rich foods play crucial roles in preventing dysbiosis and maintaining a healthy gut. Precision Over Randomness in Supplements: The use of targeted probiotics and prebiotics supports the gut's resilience, as demonstrated through products like Megaspore and serum bovine immunoglobulins for specific gut disorders.

Dental amalgam is approximately 50% mercury by weight, and it releases a vapor that can be inhaled and absorbed, with children's developing neurological systems potentially more sensitive to its effects Since 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised dentists to avoid mercury fillings in children under 6 and other higher-risk patients, but the recommendation carries no obligation and no penalty for ignoring it Access to mercury-free care remains unequal, with low-income children, children of color, indigenous communities, Medicaid patients, service members, and institutionalized people often having fewer choices about the materials used Forty-six countries have banned amalgam by law, the European Union (EU) barred it for children under 15 in 2018, and the Minamata Convention set December 31, 2034 as the global end date Consumers for Dental Choice is leading the effort to end amalgam use in children, and I will match every donation dollar for dollar through August 22, 2026, up to $150,000
The U.S. national debt crosses $40 trillion, adding another trillion in just five months, as rising borrowing costs increasingly feed into the interest rates consumers pay. Plus, President Donald Trump declares an “economic D-Day” against Iran, threatening major financial penalties against countries that help Tehran evade U.S. sanctions. And Trump taps Heidi Overton to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after she helped shape his controversial childhood vaccine changes, but a key Republican senator is already calling that role “almost disqualifying.” These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026.
After a five-year hiatus, Dan Go returns to break down a sustainable approach to fat loss for busy people who do not have hours to spend in the gym. He explains why identifying the main physiological or psychological bottleneck—such as late-night eating, stress, grazing, or weekend overeating—can matter more than simply handing someone a meal plan. The conversation covers calorie tracking for awareness, protein and fiber for satiety, meal timing, restaurant strategies, preserving muscle with low-volume strength training, FFMI as an alternative to BMI, and a balanced view of GLP-1 medications that considers both their benefits and trade-offs. Dan Go is a fitness coach and entrepreneur whose work focuses on helping busy professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs improve their body composition, health, and performance through sustainable nutrition, behavior change, and efficient training. His coaching approach emphasizes identifying the specific habits, beliefs, and environmental factors that make fat loss difficult, then building practical systems and guardrails that clients can maintain long term. Rather than relying on extreme diets or high-volume workouts, he focuses on awareness, consistency, adequate protein, structured eating, and time-efficient strength training to help clients lose fat while preserving muscle.

In Kim on a Whim, hosts Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox analyze consumer food safety anxieties following a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora illnesses linked to iceberg lettuce imported from Taylor Farms de Mexico. The hosts evaluate consumer behavioral shifts—noting that roughly 40% of Americans report reducing fresh produce consumption—and discuss signage posted in local corporate cafeterias explicitly distancing their salad suppliers from Taylor Farms. Additionally, the segment reviews structural trade dependency on agricultural imports from Mexico, which now account for over 20% of all U.S. food shipments. St. Onge and Cox critique regulatory oversight dynamics at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), examining federal staffing levels, foreign farm inspection frequencies, and economic pressure on commercial growers.

Charles Brenner breaks down what the science actually says about NAD+, separating established findings from the claims commonly made in the longevity space. He explains why NAD levels in tissues may matter more than blood measurements, how metabolic stress, alcohol, inflammation, and other conditions can disrupt the NAD system, and how nicotinamide riboside (NR) compares with niacin, nicotinamide, and NMN. The conversation also covers research on exercise recovery, peripheral artery disease, skin health, infection, and wound healing, along with the limitations of current human evidence. Brenner explains why he advises against IV and subcutaneous NAD+, discusses concerns around NMN quality, and challenges popular sirtuin-centered theories of anti-aging while emphasizing the importance of reproducible human research. Charles Brenner is an NAD metabolism researcher whose work focuses on cellular bioenergetics, vitamin B3 biology, metabolic stress, and the pathways that regulate NAD production and utilization throughout the body. Now based at the University of Helsinki, his research has examined how the NAD system responds to conditions ranging from metabolic and liver disease to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurological stress. His work has also helped advance research into nicotinamide riboside as an NAD precursor and its potential applications in human health. Brenner takes an evidence-first approach to longevity science, distinguishing findings supported by controlled human studies from promising but still unproven mechanisms, animal research, and anecdotal claims.

This episode explores the opportunities and risks of testosterone optimization, beginning with the US military's decision to screen men over 30 for low testosterone. Dr. Mike Hart and Dr. Jonathan Schoeff discuss why symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and difficulty changing body composition cannot be interpreted from a single lab value. They examine the importance of free testosterone, SHBG, insulin resistance, visceral fat, estradiol, DHT, fertility, and individualized dosing. The conversation also challenges common measures such as BMI and body fat percentage, emphasizing skeletal muscle mass, visceral adiposity, sustainable health goals, and the minimum effective intervention. Dr. Jonathan Schoeff is a spinal surgeon and longevity medicine practitioner whose work focuses on hormone health, metabolic optimization, body composition, and individualized health strategy. Through comprehensive laboratory testing, clinical assessment, and personalized treatment planning, he helps clients understand how hormones, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, visceral fat, lifestyle, and long-term health goals interact. Describing his role as that of a "biological strategist," Dr. Schoeff emphasizes precision over standardized protocols and develops practical plans designed around each person's biology, priorities, and daily life.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Jim Rorie, a licensed private investigator from North Carolina whose career and daily life were profoundly affected by chronic low back pain following a multi-vehicle collision. After months of physical therapy and painful nerve block injections, Jim became one of the first patients in the United States to be commercially treated with noninvasive focused ultrasound for his back pain. He shares what led him to the procedure, what the treatment experience was like, and how it has transformed his pain, his work, and his quality of life. Discussion highlights: First-of-its-Kind Device Receives FDA Clearance: In November 2025, the FUSMobile Neurolyser XR system received De Novo clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The device, which uses focused ultrasound to ablate sensory nerves in the spinal facet joints, is also approved in Europe, Canada, and the UK. Renewed Hope and Quality of Life: Jim reflects on the difference focused ultrasound has made in his recovery, allowing him to return to his career as a private investigator and regain activities that chronic pain had previously limited.

This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning speaks with Drs. Michael Mack and Tom Nguyen about the proposed US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services changes to how cardiologists and cardiac surgeons interact during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:21 TAVR Heart Team 04:08 JANS 1+2, JACC TAVR vs SAVR 12:19 JANS 3, TAVR Short-Term Outcomes 14:06 JANS 4, SAVR Life Expectancy 17:44 JANS 5, WSJ TAVR Article 19:19 Video 1, Direct AA Cannulation Technique 21:23 Video 2, Endoscopic Redo TVR After CABG 24:25 Video 3, Gaudiani Cox-Maze III 27:33 Dr. Mack & Nguyen, TAVR Heart Team 51:12 Closing Dr. Mack explained the current heart team system, established in 2011 through collaboration with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CMS, which has been highly successful in ensuring safe and effective TAVR implementation. He argues that the proposed CMS changes could potentially dismantle this collaborative approach by allowing asynchronous patient evaluation and procedures to be performed by single operators without surgeon involvement. Dr. Nguyen provided insights from a system leader's perspective, noting that while the proposed changes raise significant concerns about patient care and data collection, some cardiologists argue that surgeons are already not actively involved in many programs, making the single operator model the norm in practice. Both expressed concern that without mandatory surgeon participation and TAVR registry involvement, smaller programs may adopt practices that lack proper accountability and could lead to inappropriate patient selection and outcomes, potentially creating more contentious debates between TAVR and surgical approaches. Joel also highlights recent JANS articles including a propensity-matched analysis comparing 10-year outcomes after SAPIEN 3 TAVR in the PARTNER 2 SAPIEN 3 Intermediate-risk Registry with surgery in the PARTNER 2A trial; a single-center retrospective study evaluated 61 patients who underwent cardiac surgery after prior TAVR during a 10-year period at a high-volume academic center; whether surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) should remain the first choice for aortic stenosis in patients with a life expectancy beyond five years; and an article examining the dramatic rise in the popularity of transcatheter aortic valves, early valve failure, and the impact it has on patients' lives. In addition, Joel explores axillary cannulation as a primary cannulation strategy, beating-heart endoscopic tricuspid valve replacement for high-risk redo patients after CABG and device-related tricuspid valve injury, and a Cox-Maze III operation combined with a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD), as well as an ascending aortic replacement and aortic valve resuspension. Before closing, Joel highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.

Dr. Tyler Panzner joins Dr. Mike Hart to explain how genetics, supplement combinations, and individual brain chemistry can influence anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and the persistent "monkey on your back" feeling. They examine why the MTHFR gene is scientifically valid but often overmarketed, and why methylated B vitamins, SAMe, creatine, phosphatidylcholine, and other methylation-related supplements may help some people while overstimulating others. The conversation also explores hidden "adrenaline trappers" such as quercetin, polyphenols, and greens powders; why NAC, glutathione, and high-dose antioxidants may cause unwanted effects; and how lithium orotate, melatonin, nicotine, methylene blue, omega-3s, collagen, mitochondrial enhancers, and DHT-lowering supplements can affect people differently. Dr. Panzner also discusses pharmacogenomics, SSRI response, supplement timing around exercise, the limitations of genetic testing, and the importance of combining DNA data with bloodwork, symptoms, medication history, and baseline nutrient status. Dr. Tyler Panzner is a pharmacology and genetics expert whose work focuses on personalized supplementation, genetic testing, neurotransmitter pathways, and understanding why the same health intervention can affect people very differently. Through DNA analysis, laboratory review, supplement audits, and individualized coaching, he helps clients identify which biological pathways may need support and which commonly recommended supplements may be working against them. His approach challenges one-size-fits-all biohacking and emphasizes using genetics, bloodwork, symptoms, and personal response patterns to make more informed decisions about mental health, performance, and long-term wellness.

Alex LeBeau, Ph.D., M.P.H., CIH is the owner of Exposure Assessment Consulting LLC in Orlando, Florida, where he offers toxicology, industrial hygiene, risk assessment, and public health consulting services. Over his 13-year career, he has evaluated environmental and occupational exposures and has performed toxicological evaluations of chemicals and biological agents. He has also performed human health risk assessments of contaminated sites using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state regulatory guidelines and has monitored remediation activities at those sites. To evaluate the exposure impacts on building occupants, he has performed indoor environmental quality assessments, including Legionella and water quality assessments, at healthcare, residential, and industrial facilities. Dr. LeBeau has been a co-author on industry guidance for COVID-19 issues. He has also been retained as a testifying expert witness and provided consultation on several occupational and environmental exposure claims. Finally, Dr. LeBeau has authored safety assessments on consumer products, including antimicrobial pesticide registration dossiers, Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determinations for food ingredients following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for scientific procedures, and submitted a health claim petition to the FDA that was successfully accepted by the agency. In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak with Dr. LeBeau [26:40] about: The Healthy Florida First contaminant testing initiative for food products, which has notably raised concerns about arsenic in candy Gaps around Healthy Florida First's testing methodology, data reporting, and transparency that make the contaminant findings difficult to interpret in a scientific context How arsenic is typically evaluated in food products and what factors are relevant to determine whether detected levels are significant to human health Why detection does not always equate to danger (i.e., the difference between hazard identification and risk assessment) The exposure assumptions and risk calculations that are required to translate contaminant testing results into a realistic assessment of consumer risk How FDA and EPA typically conduct exposure science and toxicological risk assessments for contaminants in food, and how Healthy Florida First's approach compares Best practices for the communication of contaminant testing results to ensure the information is accurate, transparent, and responsibly interpreted by both industry and consumers.

If you could listen to just one conversation about Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), what would you need to know? In this listener Q&A episode, producer Aron Korney puts host Dr. Linda Bluestein, the Hypermobility MD, in the hot seat to answer the questions patients ask most about hypermobility, connective tissue disorders, genetic testing, medications, and managing complex chronic illness. Dr. Bluestein explains why EDS, HSD, POTS, and MCAS are whole-body conditions rather than isolated joint disorders, and how connective tissue affects nearly every organ system. She shares why "less is more," why small, consistent improvements create meaningful long-term progress, and how the placebo and nocebo effects can influence healing. The conversation also covers the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) black box warning for fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and moxifloxacin, explaining why people with connective tissue disorders should discuss safer alternatives with their healthcare providers when appropriate. Dr. Bluestein then tackles one of the most confusing topics in EDS: genetic testing. She explains why a negative genetic test does not rule out every rare subtype of EDS, how variants of uncertain significance (VUS) and direct-to-consumer genetic reports can be misleading, and why clinical evaluation remains essential, especially when vascular EDS is suspected. Finally, she discusses how mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) can amplify pain, migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, dysautonomia, and other multisystem symptoms, how to obtain accurate laboratory testing, and why she casts a wider diagnostic net when evaluating complex patients. The episode concludes with a simple hypermobility hack that uses vagus nerve activation to help calm a constant fight-or-flight response. Whether you're newly diagnosed with EDS or HSD, wondering if you have POTS or MCAS, trying to understand genetic testing, or looking for practical strategies to improve your health, this episode delivers the essential concepts every patient should know. Takeaways: • Think EDS only affects your joints? Discover why Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD), POTS, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are whole-body conditions that can affect nearly every organ system. • Could doing less actually help you feel better? Learn why "less is more," how stacking small wins leads to meaningful progress, and how the placebo and nocebo effects can influence your symptoms and recovery. • Are antibiotics like ciprofloxacin safe if you have EDS or another connective tissue disorder? Understand the FDA black box warning on fluoroquinolones, the risks of tendon rupture, nerve injury, and aortic complications, and when it's worth asking about alternatives. • Can a negative genetic test still mean you have a rare type of EDS? Learn why clinical features, family history, and red flags often matter as much as laboratory results, especially when vascular EDS is a possibility. • Could mast cell activation syndrome be making your symptoms worse? Discover how MCAS can amplify pain, migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dysautonomia, why testing is often misunderstood, and the biggest mistakes patients should avoid.

The episode explains how to use minoxidil for hair loss, emphasizing that it supports follicles and prolongs the anagen phase but does not block DHT (with topical dutasteride mentioned as a scalp-focused DHT option). It reviews evidence that 5% topical minoxidil is optimal (better than 2% and superior to 10%), works best on the crown/vertex, and should be applied to the scalp—not the hair—with expectations set for gradual results and possible early shedding. Twice-daily topical use is recommended unless combined with 0.01% tretinoin, which can make once-daily use similarly effective, though irritation can occur. Microneedling combined with minoxidil is strongly recommended based on a 2013 RCT, with guidance on depth (0.5–1.0 mm), frequency, and waiting 12–24 hours (or longer with tretinoin) before applying minoxidil. The episode also compares oral minoxidil dosing, notes a 2024 RCT showing similar outcomes to topical at 5 mg, and details systemic side effects, monitoring, and cautions including pet toxicity with topical use.

Understand the FDA black box warning on fluoroquinolones, the risks of tendon rupture, nerve injury, and aortic complications, and when it's worth asking about alternatives. • Can a negative genetic test still mean you have a rare type of EDS? Learn why clinical features, family history, and red flags often matter as much as laboratory results, especially when vascular EDS is a possibility. • Could mast cell activation syndrome be making your symptoms worse? Discover how MCAS can amplify pain, migraines, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dysautonomia, why testing is often misunderstood, and the biggest mistakes patients should avoid.

Yet America's policymakers have begun treating China's biotechnology industry as the next front in the tech war. A bill before Congress would amend the COINS Act, which restricts American investment in sensitive technologies abroad, to include licensing Chinese biotech. Some want the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), America's drug regulator, to disregard clinical-trial data from China. Meanwhile, bipartisan legislation has called on the Treasury Department to review pharmaceutical licensing deals with Chinese organisations—a sign that wariness about Chinese biotech now spans the aisle.知识点:unlikely /ʌnˈlaɪkli/ adj.本义为 “不太可能的;未必会发生的”,民生论述语境核心义为 大概率不会、不至于,强调人的核心诉求优先于其他考量(本文特指被新药挽救生命的患者,根本不会在意药物的研发国别) 核心搭配:be unlikely to do sth、highly unlikely、it is unlikely that...、seem unlikely・Someone whose life is saved by a new medicine is unlikely to care whether it was invented at home or on the other side of the world.被一款新药从死亡线上拉回来的人,不会去追问这药是哪国造的。・It is unlikely that ordinary patients will reject effective treatment out of geopolitical concerns.普通患者不太可能出于地缘政治考量,拒绝有效的治疗方案。【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》,带你精读最新外刊,了解国际最热事件:分析语法结构,拆解长难句,最接地气的翻译,还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻,想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达,有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者(如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等) 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程,拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解,系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记,包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等,帮助扫除阅读障碍。
The speaker shares a structured, consistent diet designed to support hard training (three strength sessions, Norwegian 4x4, Zone 2 cardio, and one MMA session weekly), reduce "food noise," and stay full with high protein and fiber. He explains cooling/freezing rice to increase resistant starch and lower glycemic impact, then details his daily routine: a morning shake with creatine, collagen peptides, greens/red powder, and beta-alanine; four eggs mid-morning; high-protein Greek yogurt mixed with psyllium husk and acacia fiber; a pre-workout oats-and-whey bowl; a post-workout shake with whey, berries, vegetables, and sauerkraut; and a batch-prepped dinner of extra-lean ground beef, basmati rice, avocado, and sauce, plus a small yogurt-and-berries snack. Daily totals are about 2600 calories with ~260g protein, ~262g carbs, ~62–80g fat, and ~42g fiber, with weekend flexibility including two gin martinis and restaurant meals like steak or occasional pasta.

Dr. Kristin Collier joins Dr. Mike Hart to discuss the ethical, cultural, and technological forces reshaping modern medicine. Reflecting on the 2022 white coat speech walkout, she explores viewpoint diversity, self-censorship, moral courage, and the importance of cultivating wisdom alongside technical skill in medical education. The conversation also examines physician-assisted suicide, its relationship to suicide prevention, mental illness, disability, chronic disease, palliative care, healthcare funding, and the protection of vulnerable patients. They also discuss the promise and risks of artificial intelligence in medicine, including concerns about weakened clinical reasoning and the loss of person-to-person care, as well as spirituality, meaning, reproductive ethics, IVF, abortion, and human dignity. Dr. Kristin Collier is a physician, medical educator, and bioethics scholar whose work focuses on medical education, spirituality in healthcare, human dignity, and the moral responsibilities of physicians. Drawing from her experience teaching future doctors and caring for patients, she examines how wisdom, compassion, intellectual freedom, and ethical reflection can help medicine remain both scientifically rigorous and deeply human.

This episode explores how to use GLP-1 medications like semaglutide/Ozempic and tirzepatide/Mounjaro safely and effectively. Dr. Mike Hart and Dr. Christle Guevarra Do discuss once-weekly dosing, individualized titration, optimal dose selection, food noise, appetite suppression, and the risks of dosing mistakes with vials or gray-market peptides. They also cover why resistance training, protein, fiber, and realistic nutrition habits are essential for preserving muscle and maintaining results. The conversation expands into GLP-1 benefits beyond weight loss, including cardiovascular protection, inflammation, autoimmune flares, addiction-related behaviors, alcohol cravings, libido, menstrual cycles, PCOS, sleep apnea, and what to expect when stopping the medication. Dr. Christle Guevarra Do is a physician focused on obesity medicine, GLP-1 education, weight management, and sustainable lifestyle change. Drawing from both her clinical experience and her own long-term use of GLP-1 medication, she helps patients understand how these medications fit into the bigger picture of long-term health. Her approach emphasizes individualized care, strength training, nutrition, behavior change, and realistic maintenance strategies rather than quick fixes. In this episode, she shares practical guidance for using GLP-1s responsibly while protecting muscle, managing hunger, and building habits that support lasting results.

More Retirement Alerts - Social Security running out again.... - Less that 10 year until the reserves are exhausted - The Social Security Administration's newly released 2026 Trustees Report confirms that the federal retirement safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal depletion, as the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves in the fourth quarter of 2032. - Once the reserve dries up, ongoing tax revenues will cover only 78% of scheduled retirement benefits, according to the report. - Some of the blame is being laid on the OBBBA with higher standard deductions and lower taxes on SS Benefits - "The OBBBA also adds a temporary additional standard deduction for taxpayers over age 65," it says. "As a result, less income tax will be paid on Social Security benefits, and the OASI and DI Trust Funds will receive lower levels of revenue in the future from income taxation of Social Security benefits."

Reality Check - Thursday: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that “we have a deal that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” - Monday: 60-day period delay to continue discussions of nuclear issues - Is there a sucker in all of this? $ for IRAN - Supposedly there i some deal... - A $300 billion private fund designed ?to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the U.S.-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with ?direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters. - The fund is designed to give both sides an economic incentive to conclude a final deal, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced as Washington and Tehran prepare to sign on Friday. SpaceX - IPO - Finally! $135 per share - Rose to $160+/- on the debut day - Rather smooth process and very orderly - A total of $85B was raised - due to an add-on additional green-shoe that was allowed ($10B) for institutions. - Rose another $20% on Monday - Retail got about 20% of the deal (down from 30%) Oracle - Oracle Corp. shares declined after the company reported quarterly capital expenses that were higher than estimates, raising investor concerns about the profitability of the AI infrastructure business. - The company expects to spend about $70 billion on net capital expenditures in the current fiscal year, and plans to raise another $40 billion in equity and debt. - Oracle's cloud infrastructure business gained 93% to $5.8 billion, and total cloud revenue is projected to jump about 61% in the quarter ending in August. - The increase of $5B over the course of the year was disconcerting to investors. - Shares dropped the most in over 6 months on the news CPI and PPI - May CPI was mixed but generally cooler on the core reading, with headline CPI up 0.5% month-over-month, matching consensus, while Core CPI rose 0.2%, below the 0.3% consensus and below Briefing's 0.4% estimate. - The softer core CPI reading suggests some easing in underlying consumer inflation pressures, which is the more constructive part of the inflation picture. - May PPI was firmer than expected on the headline reading, with PPI up 1.1% versus 0.7% consensus and 0.8% Briefing estimate, matching the prior month's revised 1.1% pace. - Core PPI rose 0.4%, matching consensus and coming in below the prior month's revised 0.7%, indicating wholesale inflation remained elevated but did not accelerate further on the core measure. - Taken together, the CPI and PPI reports point to a mixed inflation backdrop: consumer-level core inflation looked somewhat better, but producer-level price pressures remained sticky. Cyberdyne - Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model that will be available to its enterprise customers and paid subscribers. - The company unveiled Mythos in April and has limited the rollout because of its advanced cybersecurity capabilities. - Anthropic said Claude Fable 5?s broad release is possible because of new safeguards that block responses in specific high-risk areas. - WAIT! The US government PULLED the plug on Mythos and Fable for any foreign national - From Anthropic - The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Anthropic models will not be affected.

Each year WNYC hosts a "health convening," with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as an opportunity for healthcare experts and practitioners to inform WNYC's health reporting. This year, the topic is ultra-processed foods and how they affect our health. David Kessler, MD, former FDA Commissioner, breaks down a citizen petition he filed with the Food and Drug Administration last summer which would, among other things, declare that some of the core ingredients in ultra-processed foods were no longer “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” -- a classification that means ingredients are exempt from strict premarket approval process.

Episode Summary:In this engaging and informative episode of the Pain Matters Podcast, hosts Sudheer Potru, DO, FASA, FASAM, and Co-Host Zafeer Baber, MD, sit down with renowned chronic pain advocate, Tom Norris. With a four-decade-long journey through the challenges of chronic pain, Tom shares his invaluable insights regarding the newly drafted Acute Low Back Pain Guideline** (drafted by the Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU EPC) and the American Academy of Pain Medicine), recently submitted to Pain Medicine Journal and currently under review. His unique perspective underscores the critical need for clear communication and collaboration between clinicians and patients, especially in the context of guideline development and healthcare delivery. Throughout the discussion, the trio delves into practical strategies for managing acute and chronic pain, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered communication, the role of alternative therapies, and the power of support groups. Tom candidly discusses his military background and how it has shaped his ability to advocate effectively for himself and others within the medical community. The episode also explores the significance of understanding non-pharmacologic pain management techniques, such as virtual reality, acupuncture, and Tai Chi, and the need for greater awareness and education on these options. Anchored by Tom's wealth of experience and wisdom, this episode serves as a robust resource for both healthcare providers and patients seeking to enhance their pain management approaches. Key Takeaways:Patient-Centered Communication: Building trust and understanding between clinicians and patients is crucial in effectively managing pain and implementing guidelines. Integrative and Alternative Therapies: Non-drug approaches like acupuncture, virtual reality, and Tai Chi can be beneficial in managing pain, but public awareness about these methods is limited. Support Groups' Role: Connecting with others facing similar pain challenges can provide essential support and insights, offering solace and practical advice. Empowering Patients: Patients should proactively educate themselves, prepare questions for their providers, and seek various treatment avenues to optimize their care. Guideline Development Insight: Having patients involved in the creation of medical guidelines ensures that the recommendations are practical and resonate with those they are designed to help. *Views expressed by our guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, their institutions, or the American Academy of Pain Medicine. **The Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center (PNW-EPC) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) is partnered with AAPM for the development of an evidence-based clinical practice guideline on the assessment and management of acute low back pain (ALBP). This project was financially supported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award [FAIN] totaling $1,999,980.00, with 100 percent funded by FDA/HHS. The contents are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement by, FDA, HHS, or the U.S. Government. The funders had no decision-making role in designing and conducting systematic review, data collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data or approval privilege on the recommendation and good practice statements. As requested, the FDA provided nonbinding feedback and technical support to the guideline panel and methodological team. A methodologically rigorous systematic review on assessment and management of ALBP was conducted by the PNW-EPC to provide evidence for guideline development. An independent, multidisciplinary guideline development used evidence from the systematic review to formulation evidence-based clinical recommendations to the guide assessment and management of ALBP.
Dr. Mike Hart interviews board-certified urologist Dr. Alex Tatum about peptide access, compounding, and men's health. Tatum argues many peptides are naturally occurring and lacked FDA commercialization incentives, says the FDA's 2023 move banning 19 compounds from Category 1 was contested due to no produced adverse-safety evidence, and describes the patient impact and advocacy around a July PCAC meeting. He explains most peptide APIs and many compounded GLP-1 ingredients come from China, while pharma-grade GLP-1s have more U.S. production. The discussion covers retatrutide's potential biologic classification (40–amino acid rule) and pricing implications, MOTS-c as an adjunct for low energy on GLP-1s, skepticism about cardarine, growth hormone secretagogues and cancer fears, TRT dosing frequency, sleep apnea screening, HCG's roles, and penis enhancement via traction for length and hyaluronic acid filler for girth, emphasizing expectations and mental health. Dr. Alex Tatem is a board-certified urologist focused on men's health, hormone optimization, male fertility, and sexual wellness. In this episode, he joins Dr. Mike Hart to discuss the changing landscape of peptide therapy, including FDA restrictions, compounding pharmacies, drug supply chains, and the growing debate around access to treatments such as BPC-157, MOTS-c, and retatrutide. He also breaks down practical considerations for men using testosterone replacement therapy, including HCG, fertility preservation, dosing frequency, estrogen-related side effects, and sleep apnea risk. Drawing from his experience treating a wide range of patients, he shares a harm-reduction approach to performance medicine and explains what men should understand before considering growth hormone peptides, GLP-1 medications, or penile enhancement procedures.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 05/30/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the ongoing enforcement of racial terror and state policy: 1. Direct Racist Violence and Neighborhood Vandalism: We examine a disturbing series of direct, racially motivated property attacks and terror tactics aimed at Black people. This includes the arrest of a 13-year-old charged with hate crimes for vandalism in Central, Louisiana, a targeted attack on a Black family's home in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and explicit white supremacist graffiti left on a residential street in Slidell, Louisiana. We analyze how these cross-generational actions function to enforce fear and maintain racial terror in Black spaces. 2. The Vape Industry's New Target: We investigate reports that senior regulators within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were completely blindsided by policy maneuvers opening the market to unauthorized, fruit-flavored e-cigarettes. We examine the corporate strategy behind these new products—including new fruit-flavored options—and the systemic implications for non-white children who will likely bear the brunt of these predatory marketing tactics. 3. Biometric Surveillance and Ocular Cataloging: We dissect a massive $25 million no-bid contract finalized by ICE to flood the streets with over 1,500 handheld, smartphone-based iris scanners. We scrutinize the expansion of this biometric database, analyzing how this BI2 Tech acts as a digital dragnet targeting non-white oculars during field operations. Furthermore, we question the broader scope of this surveillance infrastructure, examining the very real threat of these tools being weaponized to scan the eyeballs of non-white protesters and US citizens under the guise of state security. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #COINTELPRO #TheRedboneDeception #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#
The host explains how he raised his estimated VO2 max in 2026 in his 40s, emphasizing that the biggest driver was structured hard training with progressive overload, not "hacks" like peptides, supplements, sauna, red light, or ketones. After years of mostly zone 2 cardio (under ~124 bpm) plus weekly MMA, he shifted to one zone 2 session, one Norwegian 4x4 VO2 max workout, and one MMA session weekly. He defines VO2 max and details the 4x4 protocol (4 minutes hard/3 minutes easy for 4 rounds plus brief warmup/cooldown), using a COROS heart rate monitor to track significant zone 5 time. Starting at 8.0 mph, he increased treadmill speed by 0.1 mph weekly to 9.3 mph, discussing deload weeks, fatigue limits, body weight changes, footwear, sauna frequency, and mixed views on supplements like beta-alanine, beetroot, and ketones.

Learn more about everything at our home page www.diabetes-connections.com Okay.. our top story this week: XX The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tzield (teplizumab-mzwv) for use in children in stage 2 type 1 diabetes (T1D) ages one and older. The approval expands the previous indication from those aged eight and above and was granted under a priority review process. This decision is supported by one-year data from the PETITE-T1D Phase IV study, which evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of Tzield in children under eight years old. Tzield was approved for use in individuals 8+ in stage 2 T1D in 2022. Since then, we have been working to expand the eligible population. This expansion effort includes individuals in stage 3 T1D, who can preserve endogenous insulin production for longer when they take Tzield and, most notably today, children in stage 2. https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tzield-approved-for-children-ages-one-and-older-in-stage-2-t1d/ XX Big write up in the journal Pediatrics about screening for type 1. Citing the 2025 ADA Standards of Care in Diabetes, the opinion piece talks about how to engage the greater healthcare community. It says: We aim to encourage the development of strategies to emphasize the importance of T1D early detection, integrate screening into routine health care encounters, and support implementation of T1D screening. Pediatricians and other primary care clinicians are well positioned for greater collaboration with the multidisciplinary team, ensuring early detection, timely intervention, and improved outcomes. https://publications.aap.org/pediatricsopenscience/article/2/2/1/207272/Type-1-Diabetes-Screening-in-Pediatrics-Putting?autologincheck=redirected XX More info about GLP-1 drugs and people with type 1. New study shows off label use did not lead to DKA or pancreatitis in a large 1-year single-center study. Moreover, GLP-1 agonist use in people with T1D was associated with lower overall rates of hospitalization, as has occurred in type 2 diabetes Although GLP-1 agonists are not approved by the FDA for T1D management, off-label adjunctive use has risen for those with obesity. Semaglutide was the most commonly-used GLP-1 (65.5% of GLP-1 users) followed by tirzepatide (23.5%). The rest were using the older-generation drugs: liraglutide or dulaglutide. Lots more information to come on type 1 and glp 1-s in upcoming studies. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-glp-1s-type-1-diabetes-not-linked-increased-dka-2026a1000d56 XX Health Canada has approved the first generic version of Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk's Ozempic drug. In January 2026, the Canadian patent for Ozempic will expire, paving the way for cheap generic versions of the semaglutide injections that help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Health Canada said this generic, like existing products, is indicated to be used for the "once-weekly treatment of adult patients with Type 2 diabetes to manage blood sugar levels." With three generics on the market, Tadrous said the price could drop to about $100 or less, depending on their dose. Health Canada said it's currently reviewing eight other generic submissions by different companies and expects to make a decision on these in the next few weeks and months. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/ozempic-generic-health-canada-9.7180566 XX Insulet has enrolled the first participant in a pivotal study for its fully closed-loop (FCL)A automated insulin delivery (AID) system for type 2 diabetes (T2D The participants are between 18 – 75 years of age, living with T2D and using insulin (basal-bolus or basal-only). The Company received Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) approval in March 2026 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company plans to submit a 510(k) filing to the FDA in 2027 and launch its FCL AID system for T2D in 2028. XX insulet Corporation (PODD) has initiated a voluntary recall of certain lots of its Omnipod 5 insulin delivery Pods in the U.S. after detecting that some devices had a manufacturing defect that causes insulin leakage. Patients using the affected devices could risk experiencing high blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin delivery, the Acton, Massachusetts-based MedTech disclosed in a statement late Thursday. The company has already notified the FDA about the recall, which it said will affect nearly 1.5% of Omnipod 5 pod units it manufactures annually. The customers were advised to immediately seek a product replacement at no cost if a Pod from a defective lot is currently in use. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/insulet-recalling-certain-defective-omnipod-insulin-delivery-devices/ar-AA1YyslT?apiversion=v2&domshim=1&noservercache=1&noservertelemetry=1&batchservertelemetry=1&renderwebcomponents=1&wcseo=1&bundles=feat-es2020-c XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) gets FDA clearance for its automated insulin delivery (AID) technology for use in pregnancy. The FDA cleared the company's Control-IQ AID technology for use in what they call: pregnancy complicated by type 1 diabetes mellitus. Tandem says t:slim X2 and Mobi are the first and only commercially available AID systems cleared for use during pregnancy in the U.S. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-fda-clearance-aid-pregnancy-t1d/ XX Tandem also issued an urgent medical device correction for a software problem with its Mobi insulin pumps. The malfunction may cause insulin delivery to stop, causing high blood sugar if not addressed, the Food and Drug Administration said in a Wednesday recall notice. We told you about this back in October when Tandem sent a letter to customers notifying them of the fault and instructing them to update their pump software as soon as possible. The FDA now issued a class one recall, the most serious type. We just released a bonus episode all about Tanem – tubeless mobi and what else is in the pipeline. You can listen to that wherever you are listening to this.. it's the episode just before this one. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/tandem-recalls-mobi-insulin-pumps-over-software-malfunction/818260/ XX Switching CGMs didn't make a measurable difference for adults using MiniMed's pump system. In a real-world analysis presented at the International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes, researchers found that CGM metrics for patients who switched from the Guardian 4 sensor (MiniMed) to Instinct by Abbott were able to maintain a time in range of greater than 75%. "When it comes to the automated insulin delivery system ... I think the sensor matters less and the system matters more," Viral N. Shah, MD, professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology and metabolism and director of diabetes clinical research at Indiana University Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, said during a presentation. "Having a different sensor with the system, I think the [glycemic] outcomes will still be what you want." I'm including this because the headline here seemed to indicate no CGM makes a difference, but this study only looked at two. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20260401/switching-cgm-sensors-does-not-impact-glycemic-outcomes-with-automated-insulin-delivery XX Vitamin D supplementation may help delay or prevent disease progression in people with prediabetes.. in people who have specific variants in their vitamin D receptor gene. This was found after a second look at large study where researchers found vitamin d really did make a difference.. a second look with people who had a specific gene variation had much better results. "More research is needed to see if there are other factors that are associated with risk reduction." https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/vitamin-d-supplements-help-prevent-type-2-diabetes-right-gene-variants XX Senseonics (Nasdaq:SENS) announced today that it initiated the first European launch of its Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The launch comes a few months after the company picked up CE mark for the long-term, implantable CGM in January. Eversense 365 is the world's first 365-day CGM system. It also holds clearance as an integrated CGM (iCGM) system, meaning it can work with compatible medical devices. Those include insulin pumps as part of automated insulin delivery systems, like the Sequel Med Tech twiist system. The company said it made Eversense 365 available to the first patients in Sweden. It plans to bring the sensor to Germany, Spain and Italy in the coming weeks https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-launches-eversense-365-europe/ XX A machine learning model can improve genetic prediction of type 1 diabetes by as much as 10%, show results from a University of California, San Diego study. The researchers used the machine‑learning model T1GRS to improve on a gold standard polygenic genetic risk score used to predict who is likely to develop the condition called GRS2. The GRS2 polygenic risk score has been widely tested and can be used to predict newborns who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes. While early prediction can't necessarily stop the disease it can help to prevent emergencies like diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis, allow families time to prepare and could allow use of therapies to delay onset of the condition. In this study, Gaulton and colleagues carried out a genome‑wide association study in 20,355 people with type 1 diabetes and 797,363 non‑diabetic Europeans, as well as a further analysis around the MHC region in 10,107 diabetic and 19,639 nondiabetic individuals. https://www.insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/molecular-dx/machine-learning-tool-helps-improve-type-1-diabetes-prediction/ XX Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Monday that he will return to the upper chamber this week after taking time off for the death of his daughter, Madison. The Virginia senator wrote on the social platform X, "As we remember our incredible daughter, Maddy, my family has been deeply touched by the outpouring of support we've received. Thank you to everyone for your kind words." Madison Warner, 36, died earlier this month after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. Mark Warner and his wife, Lisa Collis, wrote in a statement last Monday that they were "heartbroken beyond words" by their daughter's passing. On Monday, the former Virginia governor said his daughter "was a deeply empathetic and engaged person" and that "as recently as the day she passed, she was full of ideas and suggestions" for him, including how he could improve his social media presence. "She used to say to me: 'Dad, you have the power — you have to use it.' She pushed me to make the most of my position, to use my seat in the Senate to help people in meaningful ways," he added. "If I can find any solace during this time, it's that I have the enormous privilege to serve Virginians and the responsibility to keep working for a better, more just world in Maddy's name." Warner concluded, "I look forward to returning to the Senate this week and continuing that essential work." Madison Warner is survived by two younger sisters. An estimated than 2.1 million Americans, including about 314,000 children and adolescents younger than age 20, have diagnosed type 1 diabetes as of March — which is what juvenile diabetes is commonly called — according to the CDC's National Diabetes Statistics Report. An estimated 11 million U.S. adults have undiagnosed diabetes, the report notes. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include feeling more thirsty than usual, urinating a lot, bed-wetting in children who have never done so, feeling very hungry and losing weight without trying, according to the Mayo Clinic. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5851605-mark-warner-diabetes-death/ XX Mattel, Inc. and Breakthrough T1D just won a Gold Halo Award for Best Cause Product Initiative for the launch of the first Barbie with T1D. The Halo Awards recognize the most outstanding corporate social impact efforts over the past year.
The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just awarded fast track status to three companies developing psychedelic drugs as a treatment for addiction and other mental health issues. It comes after President Trump directed $50million dollars to increase their availability. Claudia Hammond is joined by BBC Brazil reporter Camilla Mota to discuss what claims are made for the effectiveness of these drugs.A novel house design, called “Star Homes”, which promote airflow, block insects, and feature rainwater collection systems, can reduce child mortality, demonstrated by a randomised controlled trial in Tanzania. We hear from Professor Lorenz Von Seidlein from the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok about what makes these homes effective in lowering rates of malaria, diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections.We hear that the Russian health minister has called for 1 in 3 Russians to be tested for HIV annually. Russia has long had high rates of HIV, but it now has the highest prevalence in Europe, with particularly high rates among Russian troops since the beginning of the Ukraine war.We also hear from David Méary, associate professor at the Université Grenoble Alpes, about whether infants have a sense of beauty. And Claudia and Camilla discuss habits that drive salt consumption in older people.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Hannah Robins and Jonathan Blackwell
