Podcasts about early detection

Dr Eugene Manley grew up in Detroit in the 1980s cycling through emergency rooms 20 to 30 times a year with asthma and anaphylaxis while hospital staff talked past his family and buried them in paperwork they could not decode. He responded by earning a BS in mechanical engineering an MS in biomedical engineering and a PhD in molecular biology cell biology and biochemistry. Along the way he tore his ACL training for a jiu jitsu black belt worked 86 straight days in a lab during his doctorate and learned how academic and clinical systems punish people who refuse to shrink.In this episode Manley walks through a recent post surgery ordeal at Mount Sinai Queens where staff falsified records attempted an illegal discharge and nearly sent him home on the wrong blood thinner. He explains how medical racism shows up in charts staffing and decision making and why measurable equity fails without accountability. Listeners hear how his STEMM and Cancer Health Equity Foundation builds pipelines for underrepresented students challenges clinical trial design and teaches patients how to protect themselves when institutions lie.

Heart disease should be treated just like cancer, says guest Mike McConnell, an author and expert in preventive cardiology at Stanford: Detect and stage early, then treat aggressively. In his practice, McConnell focuses on using low-dose CT imaging for detecting early coronary artery disease. He also helped pioneer the use of AI to infer cardiovascular risk from retinal scans. Such non-invasive, consumer-friendly tools could expand prevention, personalize therapy, and cut heart attacks and strokes across the board, he says. “Everybody also deserves a proactive preventive cardiologist in their phone,” McConnell tells host Russ Altman of the latest approaches to heart disease on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Can You Reverse Heart Disease? Early Detection, AI Scans & The Future of CardiologyClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. John Osborne - ClearCardiowww.clearcardio.comPodcast: Power of PreventionYouTube: Clear CardioIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, I sit down with Dr. John Osborne, preventive cardiologist and founder of Clear Cardio, to talk about the biggest threat to longevity: cardiovascular disease.While much of my show has historically focused on fat loss, muscle building, and aesthetics, this conversation shifts toward what truly determines lifespan — heart health. Dr. Osborne makes it clear: if you don't have lifespan, healthspan doesn't matter.Dr. Osborne explains that cardiovascular disease has been the leading cause of death for over 120 years — responsible for roughly 40–45% of deaths, even during COVID. Globally, around 20 million people die each year from heart disease.The problem? We typically detect it far too late.Traditional cardiology focuses on finding severe blockages — the equivalent of detecting stage 4 cancer. But plaque (atherosclerosis) develops silently over decades. In fact, 85% of heart attacks occur in people without severe blockages detected beforehand, due to sudden plaque rupture.Even more alarming:Half of men and two-thirds of women experience a fatal event as their first symptom.Most people have no warning signs.Dr. Osborne's mission is early detection — what he calls the cardiac version of a colonoscopy.At Clear Cardio, they use:Advanced 640-slice Cardiac CT technologyAI-enhanced imaging capable of detecting plaque the size of a period at the end of a sentencePersonalized prevention plans based on decades of lipid and cardiovascular expertiseAccording to Dr. Osborne:99% of people have detectable plaqueOnly about 1% are completely plaque-freeMost people feel perfectly fine and have normal stress testsThe difference is that this technology detects plaque long before symptoms appear — when it's still reversible.Dr. Osborne emphasizes that we already have powerful, proven tools:Nutrition and exerciseBlood pressure and blood sugar managementAdvanced lipid therapiesTargeted medications when necessaryThe issue isn't lack of treatment — it's lack of early detection.Even those with strong genetic risk can reduce their risk by 50% with proper lifestyle habits. And for those who “picked the wrong ancestors,” there are still highly effective treatment options available.The cardiac CT scan also provides additional insights, including:Lung imagingFatty liver detectionBone densitySpine assessmentAll with extremely low radiation exposure — roughly equivalent to a chest X-ray, and far less than traditional nuclear stress tests.Dr. Osborne compares modern heart prevention to the early days of insulin in 1922 — a turning point that transformed diabetes care. He believes we're at a similar tipping point for heart disease.His ultimate goal?To eliminate plaque-driven heart disease entirely — and put himself out of business.Clear Cardio is currently operating in Dallas and Chicago, expanding to Manhattan, Miami, and other major cities, with the long-term goal of reaching high-population areas nationwide.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Jenny Opalinski has spent more than a decade inside hospitals where people lose the ability to speak, breathe, swallow, and sometimes survive. A medical speech language pathologist by training, she worked in ICU, neuro rehab, and long term acute care settings, including a Level 1 trauma center, where she watched clinicians absorb 10 to 15 traumatic events in a single shift and then get told to move the crash cart faster next time.That lived reality pushed her to co found The Wellness Shift, an advocacy and education platform focused on healthcare worker burnout, suicide, and assault. In this conversation, Opalinski walks through the moment that changed everything for her: standing in a hospital hallway listening to a family wail after a failed code, followed by a debrief that addressed logistics and ignored grief entirely.She also explains how that work led to Humanity Rx, her podcast about the human cost of medicine, and Dragon's Breath: Calming Tricks for Big Feelings, a children's book that translates evidence based breathing and regulation strategies into language kids can actually use. The episode covers moral injury, time scarcity, false wellness, respiratory muscle training, and why empathy keeps getting treated as an optional expense instead of clinical infrastructure.RELATED LINKSJenny Opalinski on LinkedInThe Wellness ShiftHumanity RxDragon's Breath: Calming Tricks for Big FeelingsAspire Respiratory ProductsFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon and rectum) is now the leading cause of cancer deaths in adults younger than 50. Rates have increased steadily over the past three decades, with the most dramatic rise seen in people in their 20s and 30s. In this episode we break down what that means for you and the people you love.  https://bit.ly/3OpPlk8Early colorectal cancer often has no symptoms at all, which is why screening guidelines were recently lowered to begin at age 45. When caught early, the five-year survival rate is 91%. When detected after it has spread, survival drops dramatically.We discuss:Why colorectal cancer is increasing in younger adultsThe subtle symptoms many people ignoreHow blood clots can complicate cancerLifestyle factors linked to riskWhy early-onset colorectal cancer tends to be more aggressiveHow to advocate for yourself if something feels “off”If you notice blood in your stool, persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue from anemia — do not dismiss it.

(00:00:00) The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) formally released its State of Fair Housing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The report examines current housing conditions, patterns of discrimination, and structural challenges impacting access and affordability. It also advances key policy and enforcement recommendations, including strengthening protections against source-of-income discrimination, addressing disparate impact and segregation, improving code enforcement and habitability standards, and increasing accountability for affirmatively furthering fair housing. The report brought together state leaders, civil rights advocates, and housing experts to address ongoing disparities and outline a path forward to ensure equal housing opportunity for all Pennsylvanians. (00:22:22)Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor of the prostate gland. The prostate is a walnut-sized organ located in front of a man's rectum and below the bladder. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly, so chances for successful treatment increase if doctors catch the disease early. Your age and the stage of the cancer will help determine your treatment. For some men, doctors recommend active surveillance — closely monitoring the tumor — instead of treatment.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Gromko and Matthew Zachary go back to SUNY Binghamton in the early 1990s, when they were barely 19 and living inside rehearsal rooms. She starred in campus musical theater productions. He served as pianist and music director for many of those shows and played rehearsal piano for the THEA101 repertory company. This episode reunites two former theater nerds who grew up and took very different paths through art, illness, and work that still circles the same truth.Gromko trained as a singer and composer, studied film scoring at Berklee College of Music, worked in New York and New Orleans, then moved into healthcare as a speech language pathologist and recognized vocologist. She explains aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, and dysphagia with clarity earned from the clinic. She recounts helping a 16 year old gunshot survivor in New Orleans speak again using Melodic Intonation Therapy. The conversation covers voice banking for ALS, gender affirming voice care, and the damage caused when medicine confuses speech loss with intelligence loss. The result feels like an epic reunion powered by 1990s nostalgia and sharpened by decades of lived consequence.RELATED LINKSSarah GromkoGramco VoiceMelodic Intonation TherapyFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In Episode 126 Joe speaks with Sue Peschin, President and CEO of the Alliance for Aging Research, about what Alzheimer's and dementia look like in the real world and how policy determines who gets help and when.  Sue explains the mission and 40–year history of the Alliance for Aging Research and lays out the scope of the Alzheimer's crisis in plain language: who is affected, how dementia types differ, and why neuropsychiatric symptoms like agitation, psychosis, and depression are so often ignored in policy and practice. They discuss why early detection matters more than ever now that disease-modifying therapies and amyloid inhibitors exist, and why so many cases are still missed in primary care. Sue walks through new blood biomarkers, digital cognitive assessments, and how Medicare coverage, CED restrictions, and the proposed ASAP Act will shape access to testing and treatment. Joe and Sue also dig into Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) in Medicare, whether CMS is overstepping what Congress intended under Section 1801, and how restrictive coverage decisions have limited access to Alzheimer's drugs to a tiny fraction of eligible patients. Finally, they talk about caregiver burden, stigma around behavioral symptoms, and what families and clinicians can realistically do today. If you care about Alzheimer's, dementia, early detection, blood biomarkers, Medicare coverage, CED, the ASAP Act, primary care, caregiver burden, vascular dementia, and aging research, this episode connects the science with the politics and the lived experience. In This ConversationJoe and Sue cover: What the Alliance for Aging Research is and why it focuses on “gap” aging and brain health issues How many Americans are living with Alzheimer's and dementia, including younger-onset cases The difference between Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, and other dementias, and why neuropsychiatric symptoms matter Why early and accurate detection is critical, even before someone qualifies for a disease-modifying therapy New tools: blood-based biomarkers, digital assessments, PET scans, and when they are used How Medicare coverage, Coverage with Evidence Development (CED), and the ASAP Act affect access to diagnostics and treatments The tension between FDA's role on safety and effectiveness and CMS's role on cost control and coverage Timestamps (Audio platforms) 0:00 Intro and Sue's background / Alliance for Aging Research 5:30 How big is the Alzheimer's and dementia problem 10:30 Why early detection matters and why diagnoses are still missed 18:30 Neuropsychiatric symptoms, stigma, and caregiver burden 26:30 Blood biomarkers, digital tools, and primary care 33:30 The ASAP Act and Medicare coverage for biomarkers 38:30 Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) and Section 1801 45:00 How to get involved and where to find resources Key Takeaways Alzheimer's is one of several dementias, and many patients have mixed dementia (Alzheimer's plus vascular changes). Early detection is vital, not only for disease-modifying therapies, but to rule out other treatable causes and to help families plan. New blood biomarkers and digital assessments could make detection cheaper and easier, but coverage and adoption lag behind the science. Medicare's CED policy has sharply limited access to Alzheimer's therapies despite FDA approval and labeled indications. The ASAP Act aims to secure Medicare coverage for Alzheimer's blood-based biomarkers without waiting on slow guideline processes. About Our GuestSue Peschin is President and CEO of the Alliance for Aging Research, the leading nonprofit focused on advancing science, policy, and education to improve healthy aging and access to care. At the Alliance, Sue has driven national work on Alzheimer's, dementia, neuropsychiatric symptoms, Medicare policy, CED reform, and aging research, empowering older adults and caregivers to advocate for better care.

As leaders, we often take responsibility for others long before we prioritise ourselves. We show up, push through, and trust that doing the right things will be enough. But when it comes to our health, especially women's health, awareness and self leadership can be life saving. In this episode of The Limitless Leaders Podcast, I sit down with Professor Wendy Ingman for a conversation that invites us to lead ourselves first. Tune in as this interview could save a life. Following my own breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, this discussion explores breast density, early detection, and why informed awareness, asking questions, and advocating for yourself are some of the most important leadership decisions you will ever make. Prof. Wendy is a leading breast health researcher at the University of Adelaide and the founder of Informd, a not-for-profit dedicated to educating women and communities about breast density and breast cancer screening. You can watch the podcast here, click the image below, or listen on your favourite platforms. Key Takeaways: Breast density matters more than many women realise. Prof. Wendy explains what breast density is, how common it is, and why it can make breast cancer harder to detect on a standard mammogram. You cannot feel breast density. It is identified through imaging, which is why asking about your breast density after a mammogram is an important act of self leadership. Self advocacy saves lives. We discuss why trusting your intuition, asking questions, and seeking further investigation when something does not feel right is critical, even when results appear clear. Breast awareness over rigid checking. Knowing what is normal for you, including changes in your breasts and under your arms, supports earlier action without creating unnecessary fear. Screening is a leadership decision. Australia's breast screening program is a powerful, free resource, and showing up for regular screening is one of the most practical ways women can lead themselves well.

Matt Hampton and Dr Tom Ingegno came into my world the way the best guests always do. They found me first. They pulled me onto their Irreverent Health Podcast, a show that blends medicine, curiosity, and unapologetic nonsense the same way Gen X kids blended Saturday morning cartoons with nuclear-war anxiety. We recorded together, we went off the rails together, and by the end I told them the rule. If you ever come to New York, you sit in my studio. No exceptions.They showed up. They took the hot seat. They told Alexa to shut up. They joked about Postmates. They compared bifocals before I even hit record. From there it turned into a full blown eighties time machine powered by weed policy, AI diagnostics, acupuncture philosophy, art school trauma, cannabis data science, paranormal detours, and the kind of deep cut pop culture references only Gen X survivors can decode.Matt builds AI systems. Tom heals people with needles and a lifetime of East Asian medicine. Together they make healthcare funny without pretending it works. They remind you that curiosity carries weight when the system collapses under its own stupidity.This episode is a reunion of three loudmouths raised on Atari, late night cable, and the hard lesson that you either tell the truth or get flattened by it. Go subscribe to Irreverent Health.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Nathan Price, Professor and Co-Director at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Together, they explore how systems biology, artificial intelligence, and deep health data are changing the way we approach aging and prevention. Nathan explains why looking at single biomarkers falls short and why a network view of biology gives a clearer path to understanding disease and resilience.Nathan shares how new tools, like genetics, proteomics, and the emerging field of digital twins, can help predict disease risk years in advance and guide more effective, personalized interventions. He also discusses how integrating data from wearables, blood tests, and the microbiome can help people move from reactive medicine to proactive health decisions, allowing for interventions that fit the individual.The conversation highlights the promise and practical limits of current technologies, the trade-offs involved in optimizing health, and the power of AI to accelerate both research and personal health journeys. Nathan makes a strong case for the unique biology each person brings to the table and shows how the tools available today can help anyone take charge of their own healthspan in ways not possible before.Guest-at-a-Glance

The Clare based chair of HSE MidWest's Patient and Service User Council is imploring people not to take good health for granted and to regularly check themselves for a cancer diagnosis.Today, February 4th is World Cancer Day, and in Ireland over 44,000 new cases are detected each year.In 2017, Quin Native John Wall was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, having presented to his GP, believing there was an issue with his sciatica. John says the importance of early detection cannot be emphasised enough.

Bill Thach has had 9 lines of treatment, over 1,000 doses of chemo, and more scans than an airport. He runs ultramarathons for fun. He jokes about being his own Porta Potty. He became a father, then got cancer while his daughter was 5 months old. Today she is 8. He hides the worst of it so she can believe he stands strong, even when he knows that hiding has a cost.We talk about the illusion of strength, what it means to look fine when your body is falling apart, and how a random postcard in an MD Anderson waiting room led him to Man Up to Cancer, where he now leads Diversity and AYA Engagement. Fatherhood. Rage. Sex. Denial. Humor. Survival.

 Interstitial Lung Abnormality (ILA) and Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) are often detected using CT scans and other imaging. But the definition of ILAs and how abnormalities are found throughout a patient's clinical journey continues to grow and improve. Host Eddie Qian, MD, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, discusses the importance of spotting ILAs and diagnosing ILDs earlier for better patient outcomes with experts Anna Podolanczuk, MD, Weill Cornell Medical Center, and Joe Mammarappallil, MD, Duke University.

Shannon Burkett has lived about six lives. Broadway actor. SNL alum. Nurse. Filmmaker. Advocate. Cancer survivor. And the kind of person who makes you question what you've done with your day. She wrote and produced My Vagina—the stop-motion musical kind, not the cry-for-help kind—and built a global movement after her son was poisoned by lead dust in their New York apartment. Out of that came LEAD: How This Story Ends Is Up to Us, a documentary born from rage, science, and maternal defiance. We talked about everything from The Goonies to Patrick Stewart to the quiet rage of parenting in a country that treats public health like a hobby. This episode is about art, anger, resilience, and what happens when an unstoppable theater nerd turned science geek Jersey girl collides with an immovable healthcare system.RELATED LINKSShannon Burkett Official SiteLEAD: How This Story Ends Is Up to UsEnd Lead PoisoningLinkedIn: Shannon BurkettBroadwayWorld ProfileFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Ambient documentation is becoming normal in clinics. But the most interesting “voice” capability may not be transcription at all.In the latest episode of Faces of Digital Health, Henry O'Connell (Canary Speech) explains why voice biomarkers stalled for decades: the field analyzed words, not the neurological signal behind speech production.Canary's approach focuses on the “primary data layer”—how the central nervous system drives respiration, vocal cord vibration, and articulation in real conversational speech. A few details that stood out: ⏱️ ~45 seconds of conversation can be enough for assessment

Michael Kramer was 19 when cancer ambushed his life. He went from surfing Florida beaches to chemo, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant that left him alive but carrying a chronic disease. He had necrosis in his knees and elbows, lost his ability to surf for years, and found himself stuck in hospitals instead of the ocean. Yet he adapted. Michael picked up a guitar, built Lego sets, led support groups, and started sharing his story on Instagram and TikTok.We talk about masculinity, identity, and what happens when the thing that defines you gets stripped away. He opens up about dating in Miami, freezing sperm at a children's hospital, awkward Uber-for-sperm moments with his brother, and how meditation became survival. Michael lost his father to cancer when he was a teen, and that grief shaped how he lives and advocates today. He is funny, grounded, and honest about the realities of survivorship in your twenties. This episode shows what resilience looks like when you refuse to walk it off and choose to speak it out loud instead.RELATED LINKSMichael Kramer on InstagramMichael Kramer on TikTokMichael and Mom Inspire on YouTubeAshlee Cramer's BookUniversity of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer CenterStupid Cancer FEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this powerful episode of The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with journalist, filmmaker, and two-time breast cancer survivor Athena Jones for an honest conversation about early detection, self-advocacy, and the racial disparities Black women face in breast cancer outcomes.Diagnosed twice before the age of 40, Athena shares how a baseline mammogram — offered years before standard screening guidelines — changed the course of her life. She opens up about navigating cancer while advancing her career, losing her mother, and learning to trust her body when something didn't feel right.Together, Samantha and Athena explore why breast cancer is often diagnosed younger in Black women, how systemic barriers impact early detection, and what “better” could look like in the future — including risk-based screening and emerging AI tools in healthcare.This episode is a reminder to listen to your body, ask better questions, and never stop advocating for yourself.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy early detection is critical — especially for women under 40How a baseline mammogram helped catch cancer at Stage 0The emotional and mental toll of a second breast cancer diagnosisWhy breast cancer outcomes are worse for Black women — and whyBarriers to screening: insurance, guidelines, bias, and accessWhat self-advocacy in healthcare really looks likeHow community and support can change treatment decisionsWhat gives hope for the future of breast cancer careResources & Links MentionedAthena Jones on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamathenajonesSisters' Keepers Documentary (in production): https://www.sisterskeepersdoc.comSusan G.

Daniel Garza had momentum. Acting roles, directing gigs, national tours lined up. Then anal cancer stopped everything. Radiation wrecked his body, stripped him of control, and left him in diapers, staring down despair. His partner, Christian Ramirez, carried him through the darkest nights, changed his wounds, fought hospitals, and paid the price with his own health. Christian still lives with permanent damage from caregiving, but he stayed anyway.Together they talk with me about masculinity, sex, shame, friendship, and survival. They describe the friendships that vanished, the laughter that kept them alive, and the brutal reality of caregiving no one prepares you for. We get into survivor guilt, PTSD, and why even rocks need rocks. Daniel is now an actor, director, and comedian living with HIV. Christian continues to tell the unfiltered truth about what it takes to be a caregiver and stay whole. This episode gives voice to both sides of the cancer experience, the survivor and the one who stands guard.

Trevor Maxwell lived the archetype of masculinity in rural Maine. Big, strong, splitting wood, raising kids, and carrying the load. Then cancer ripped that script apart. In 2018 he was bedridden, emasculated, ashamed, and convinced his family would be better off without him. His wife refused to let him disappear. That moment forced Trevor to face his depression, get help, and rebuild himself. Out of that came Man Up To Cancer, now the largest community for men with cancer, a place where men stop pretending they are bulletproof and start being honest with each other.Eric Charsky joins the conversation. A veteran with five cancers, forty-nine surgeries, and the scars to prove it, Eric lays out what happens when the military's invincible mindset collides with mortality.

Psychotherapist and patient advocate Sara Rands discusses her article "Early-onset breast cancer: a survivor's story." Sara shares her harrowing journey of finding a lump at age 32 despite having no family history and receiving a stage 3C diagnosis. She highlights the terrifying reality that mammograms often miss tumors in dense tissue and challenges the medical community to address why young women are frequently dismissed or misdiagnosed. The conversation addresses the rising incidence of early-onset disease, racial disparities in mortality rates, and the desperate need for research focused on younger populations. We must demand better screening tools to ensure mothers get the chance to see their children grow up. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Jason Gilley walked into adulthood with a fastball, a college roster spot, and a head of curls that deserved its own agent. Cancer crashed that party and took him on a tour of chemo chairs, pediatric wards, metal taste, numb legs, PTSD, and the kind of late night panic that rewires a kid before he even knows who he is.I sat with him in the studio and heard a story I know in my bones. He grew up fast. He learned how to stare down mortality at nineteen. He found anchors in baseball, therapy, and the strange friendships cancer hands you when it tears your plans apart. He owns the fear and the humor without slogans or shortcuts. Listeners will meet a young man who refuses to let cancer shrink his world. He fights for the life he wants. He names the truth without apology. He reminds us that survivorship stays messy and sacred at the same time. This conversation will stay with you.RELATED LINKS• Jason Gilley on IG• Athletek Baseball Podcast• EMDR information• Children's Healthcare of AtlantaFEEDBACKLike this episode?

If you've ever delayed scheduling your mammogram because of fear, discomfort, or sheer overwhelm, you're not alone. Many midlife women quietly carry anxiety about breast health, balancing busy lives while putting their own care on the back burner.  In this episode of The Skin Real, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Dr. Anjali Malik, a breast imaging and interventional radiologist and passionate advocate for women's health. Together, they break down what mammograms actually involve, why annual screening starting at age 40 matters, and how misinformation has unnecessarily scared women away from a life-saving test. This conversation walks you through what to expect before, during, and after a mammogram, explains dense breast tissue in plain language, and reframes screening as an empowering tool rather than something to fear. Key Takeaways: ✓ Annual mammograms starting at age 40 reduce breast cancer mortality by about 40 percent when cancers are caught early ✓ Most mammogram call-backs are not cancer; out of 1,000 women screened, only about five will have cancer ✓ Dense breast tissue is common and not “bad,” but it can affect both cancer risk and imaging clarity ✓ 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) improves cancer detection and lowers unnecessary call-backs ✓ Early detection often means smaller surgeries, fewer aggressive treatments, and better cosmetic outcomes ✓ Monthly breast self-awareness helps you notice changes early, especially between screenings Listen in, share it with a friend you love, and take that next step for yourself.

Dr. Marissa Russo trained to become a cancer biologist. She spent four years studying one of the deadliest brain tumors in adults and built her entire research career around a simple, urgent goal: open her own lab and improve the odds for patients with almost no shot at survival. In 2024 she applied for an F31 diversity grant through the NIH. The reviewers liked her work. Her resubmission was strong. Then the grant system started glitching. Dates vanished. Study sections disappeared. Emails went silent. When she finally reached a program officer, the message was clear: scrub the DEI language, withdraw, and resubmit. She rewrote the application in ten days. It failed. She had to start over. Again. This time with her identity erased.Marissa left the lab. She found new purpose as a science communicator, working at STAT News through the AAAS Mass Media Fellowship. Her story captures what happens when talent collides with institutional sabotage. Not every scientist gets to choose a Plan B. She made hers count.RELATED LINKSMarissa Russo at STAT NewsNIH F31 grant story in STATAAAS Mass Media FellowshipContact Marissa RussoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Scott Capozza and I could have been cloned in a bad lab experiment. Both diagnosed with cancer in our early twenties. Both raised on dial-up and mixtapes. Both now boy-girl twin dads with speech-therapist wives and a lifelong grudge against insurance companies. Scott is the first and only full-time oncology physical therapist at Yale New Haven Health, which means if he catches a cold, cancer rehab in Connecticut flatlines. He's part of a small, stubborn tribe of providers who believe movement belongs in cancer care, not just after it. We talked about sperm banking in the nineties, marathon training during chemo, and what it means to be told you're “otherwise healthy” when your lungs, ears, and fertility disagree. Scott's proof that survivorship is not a finish line. It's an endurance event with no medals, just perspective.RELATED LINKSScott Capozza on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-capozza-a68873257Yale New Haven Health: https://www.ynhh.orgExercising Through Cancer: https://www.exercisingthroughcancer.com/team/scott-capozza-pt-msptProfiles in Survivorship – Yale Medicine: https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/profiles-in-survivorship-scott-capozzaFEEDBACKLike this episode?
