Episode 25:15 ABCD - Is There A Common Cause Behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes? Most Americans, as they age, will have to deal with one or more of the following “ABCD” conditions: Alzheimer's Blood Pressure Cancer  Diabetes Each of these conditions are treated as separate conditions requiring separate specialists: A Neurologist for Alzheimer's. A Cardiologist for Blood Pressure. An Oncologist for Cancer. An Endocrinologist for Diabetes What if this approach is wrong? That is, what if these conditions have more in common than the medical profession has led us to believe? What if they are simply “different branches of the same tree?” And, what if there are a few root causes that are common to each of these conditions? On this episode I explore these questions. In addition, I share five simple blood tests that, in my opinion, reveal the root causes behind Alzheimer's, Blood Pressure, Cancer and Diabetes. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss.

In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman sits down with Michael Killiam, Director of Clinical Services at Pacific Northwest Research Institute, to discuss two groundbreaking studies—TEDDY and Cascade—that have shaped our understanding of genetic and environmental triggers for type 1 diabetes.

Cascade builds upon TEDDY's findings, aiming to integrate early screening into standard healthcare and identify potential preventative interventions. Michael and Dr. Edelman break down the major findings of these studies, including the role of viruses, genetics, and immune responses, and what they mean for the future of type 1 diabetes prevention and treatment.Key Topics:What is the TEDDY Study, and why is it so important?Can genetics alone determine who will develop type 1 diabetes?How do environmental factors influence the onset of type 1 diabetes?Do certain viruses trigger autoimmune attacks on beta cells?What did TEDDY reveal about the timing of early autoimmunity?Can diet or probiotics help lower the risk of type 1 diabetes?What is the Cascade Study, and how does it build on TEDDY's research?How does newborn screening for type 1 diabetes risk work?Could vitamin D, Omega-3s, or other supplements slow or prevent type 1 diabetes?What's next in research for type 1 diabetes prevention and treatment?Links: Teddy Study: https://teddy.epi.usf.edu/CASCDE study: https://cascadekids.org/ ★ Support this podcast ★

A paediatric endocrinologist believes the Health Ministry's puberty blocker stance is sensible. The Ministry's brief shows a lack of good quality evidence backing the drug's effectiveness and safety for treating gender dysphoria. It says they should only be prescribed by a clinician experienced in gender-affirming care, as part of a team offering a full range of support. Paul Hofman told Mike Hosking puberty blockers are safe and reversible, and have been used by hundreds of thousands of kids in the last 30 years. He says data on its efficacy is poor, which is down to doctors not following up on the treatment, and assuming it will work as intended.

Tired of feeling tired? Think that an endocrinologist is a solution to your problem? Think again. While it may seem intuitive that an endocrinologist, someone who has spent extra time studying about the endocrine system, has more specialized knowledge compared to a primary care provider, you'd be wrong. Endocrinologists do not have the specialized knowledge you think they do and tend to treat every single thyroid patient the same. Here are 5 reasons you will probably get better success with other doctors (plus which ones to see instead): Reason 1. They won't order the right tests. Reason 2. They all treat the same way. Reason 3. They don't have the specialized knowledge you think they do. Reason 4. They are set in their ways. Reason 5. You won't be able to convince them to change. Instead, here are the doctors that you will probably find better results with: - Doctors who specialize in functional medicine, anti-aging medicine, integrative medicine, natural medicine, and naturopaths. Don't feel discouraged by this information either because there are things that you can do right now to improve your thyroid. Want to learn more?
