Bariatric surgery is a procedure used to manage obesity and obesity-related conditions. While studies have shown that bariatric surgery leads to significant weight loss, are there cases where it may be important to consider reversing the procedure? What would such cases look like? How effectively can bariatric surgery be reversed? To help explore those questions, host Aaron Lohr talks with Katherine Hazen, MD, a second-year endocrine fellow at the University of Rochester Medical Center. She and colleagues presented an abstract at ENDO 2025 titled, “Going Backwards as a Means of Moving Forward: Severe Hypoglycemia After Bariatric Surgery.” Show notes are available at https://www.endocrine.org/podcast/enp106 — for helpful links or to hear more podcast episodes, visit https://www.endocrine.org/podcast

What role does thyroid artery embolization play in contemporary thyroid cancer care? Dr. Juan Camacho, an interventional radiologist from Sarasota, Florida, joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss how this emerging technique is reshaping the management of thyroid malignancies. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Camacho shares his experiences establishing a multidisciplinary team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center dedicated to the management of thyroid malignancies, highlighting the critical role of collaboration in the successful implementation of this emerging treatment. He details key procedural techniques, emphasizing the importance of recognizing anatomic variations that can influence technical success. He also examines how arterial supply and lesion location inform procedural planning and decision-making, and outlines his technical approach to thyroid artery embolization, including the use of a radial artery access, catheter selection strategies, and the application of cone-beam CT for procedural optimization. Finally, he reviews his pre- and post-procedural management strategies, including the role of beta blockers in optimizing patient outcomes. The discussion concludes with illustrative case studies demonstrating substantial reductions in thyroid volume and symptomatic relief, notably achieved without post-procedural hypothyroidism. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:31 - Pioneering Thyroid Ablation at Sloan Kettering06:53 - The Need for Thyroid Artery Embolization25:08 - Pre-Procedural Planning32:41 - Embolization Technique and Procedure44:48 - Choosing the Right Catheter for the Job45:43 - Ensuring Patient Comfort and Safety47:09 - High-Stakes Imaging and Safety Protocols47:55 - Innovative Techniques and Case Studies51:02 - Post-Procedure Management and Follow-Up56:30 - Engaging with Endocrinology and Surgeons01:00:00 - Case Studies and Practical Applications

Send us a textHow hunger, hormones, and brain wiring make animals switch between parenting and aggression.Episode Summary: Dr. Johannes Kohl explains instinctive behaviors in mice, focusing on how hunger and estrous cycle hormones interact in the hypothalamus to toggle between parental care and pup-directed aggression in virgin females; he also details how pregnancy hormones rewire the medial preoptic area for robust maternal behavior before birth, revealing multi-timescale neural integration of internal states.About the guest: Jonny Kohl, PhD is a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London, heading the State-Dependent Neural Processing Lab.Discussion Points:Instincts are pre-wired, robust yet modifiable by experience and states like hunger.AGRP “hunger neurons” in the hypothalamus regulate hunger state and respond to environmental cues related to food.Hunger regulates parental care neurons in medial preoptic area (MPOA) via inhibitory peptides.Estrous cycle (4-5 days) in mice comes with fluctuations in estradiol & progesterone; their ratio, not absolute levels, gates aggression probability.Hormone ratio sensed in MPOA neurons via nuclear receptors altering gene expression of HCN ion channels, changing excitability.Pregnancy (20 days) boosts parental circuits in MPOA via hormone surges before pregnancy ends, enabling instant care at birth.Hormone fluctuations enable adult brain plasticity.Humans disrupt natural cycles (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, GLP-1 drugs) that have broad, poorly understood brain effects.Reference Paper:Study: Integration of hunger and hormonal state gates infant-directed aggressionRelated Episode:M&M 89: Neuroscience of Aggression, Sex, Behavior, Hormones, Emotion & Consciousness | David Anderson*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

La inflamación silenciosa o de bajo grado es uno de los procesos más estudiados de los últimos años, y se ha convertido en la base común de muchas patologías modernas: desde la resistencia a la insulina, el hígado graso o las enfermedades cardiovasculares, hasta trastornos del ánimo, alteraciones digestivas o incluso ciertos tipos de cáncer. En este episodio te explico qué es exactamente esta inflamación crónica, qué la causa y por qué puede pasar desapercibida durante años. Hablaremos del papel del estrés, el sueño, la microbiota, la alimentación y el sedentarismo, y de cómo pequeños cambios en tu estilo de vida pueden reducir los marcadores inflamatorios y mejorar tu salud a largo plazo. Una guía completa para entender qué significa realmente “comer y vivir de forma antiinflamatoria” y por qué este enfoque puede marcar la diferencia entre tener energía o arrastrar cansancio constante, entre salud y enfermedad.

“It's kind of a miracle, frankly,” says Dr. John Buse, a distinguished professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, referring to the effectiveness of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications such as Ozempic in treating type 2 diabetes, promoting significant weight loss, and reducing cardiovascular risk. As a physician scientist for the last three decades at UNC, Dr. Buse has played a key role in ushering in this new era of diabetes care, leading or participating in over 200 clinical studies on this class of drugs and others. “Nothing has impacted diabetes care like the GLP-1 receptor agonists. I have lots of patients whose diabetes was never well controlled who have seen all their metabolic problems essentially resolved.”  In this fascinating conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Buse not only explains how these drugs work, but also provides a clear-eyed look at side effects, and addresses issues of cost and access. Join us for the remarkable story – including the role played by Gila monsters -- behind one of the biggest developments in medicine over the past several years from a world renowned diabetes researcher and clinician. Mentioned in this episode:UNC School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

We discuss: ✨ What perimenopause actually is and how it differs from menopause ✨ The common symptoms/issues women experience during perimenopause's hormonal chaos ✨ Why estrogen levels are often highest (not lowest!) during this phase ✨ The vital role of progesterone and why it should be the go-to treatment for relief ✨ How progesterone therapy supports sleep, mood, heart health and more ✨ The link between progesterone and hot flashes, night sweats, and heart attack risk ✨ Why birth control pills and estrogen therapy can sometimes make perimenopause symptoms worse ✨ And much more empowering, evidence-based hormone care! If you've ever wondered why perimenopause feels so unpredictable or how to support your hormones naturally - this conversation will bring clarity and hope.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog You will learn: What holds up new treatments for diseases and conditions How long the FDA sits on a known safe medical medication before it is released to the public. Why safe and effective drugs are NOT approved by the FDA Why doctors are forced to use medications off label How you can help During my 44 years of medical practice, I have encountered conditions for which there is no approved medication or surgical treatment available as recognized by the American College of OBGYN or the FDA. This situation can present challenges both for physicians managing these patients and for individuals seeking relief from their symptoms. This issue is not often addressed on Dr Oz, in the news, or at medical conferences. For many conditions, physicians wait for the development of approved medications or treatments, and in the meantime may inform patients that there is currently no treatment or cure available. Some doctors may attribute a patient's concerns to aging, stating that it is a universal experience. While this may be accurate, such explanations may not provide comfort to patients seeking solutions to their symptoms. This lack of helpful guidance can discourage individuals from seeking medical care when they feel their concerns are not acknowledged. This seems to result from insurance companies prioritizing cost savings by minimizing patient care.  Every year insurance companies decrease what they pay doctors for their services, while their expenses go up, and the Government requires more and more work behind the scenes like HIPPA, OSHA, and Clia requirements that costs more to deliver the same service.  If you have a problem with the time your doctor spends with you then blame the insurance companies whose profits rise every year…Soon doctors will do what I do and only take cash.  The practice of medicine is not working in a free market. While insurance limits the prescriptions of medication to those meds that are FDA Approved, the FDA and medical specialty colleges often delay approval of new, low-risk treatments for up to 20 years after their effectiveness is demonstrated. This lengthy process should be reconsidered to treat people who are ill and suffering, now. There is plenty of research in the medical journals that explain the safety of new and effective treatments that can save peoples' lives that are not FDA approved yet. The FDA is not interested in expediting the release of medication/ devices quickly to those people who need help now. They drag out the testing of a medicine that has been effective for years and may or may not approve it. On the flip side they have approved many drugs that later are found to have severe side effects, and they just change the warnings on the medication inserts. They don't take them off the market except in severe cases. Drugs that have worked treating patients successfully are being used but are not FDA approved. These “grandfathered drugs” don't need to go through the testing that new drugs go through because they work with few well-known risks. I use many if these medications because they are inexpensive for my patients and are often more effective than new meds for the same problem. One of the drugs that the FDA has not had to approve is Armour Thyroid, a natural thyroid replacement. My experience with treatments not approved by the FDA Armour Thyroid: Armour Thyroid (AT) has been prescribed by doctors to replace thyroid hormones for about 100 years. It is natural, made from Pig thyroid. It only comes from “medical Pigs” that are raised for medical purposes.  We use medical pigs for skin grafts, and other parts of the pig to treat human diseases like heart valve replacements.  Armour Thyroid is composed of the four thyroid hormones that humans make: T4, T3, T2, T1. The synthetic thyroid replacement, Synthroid/levothyroxine is only T4.  The active form of thyroid is T3, and it requires an enzyme to convert T4 into T3. If a person can't convert T4 into active T3 then nothing improves except the blood levels of T4, and TSH. The majority of women cannot convert T4 into T3. Therefore, if they take Synthroid or levothyroxine and their doctor only checks their TSH level and not the level of free T3 and free T4 to see if the Thyroid is working, then women are told that they are healed, yet they know they are not because none of their low thyroid symptoms are resolved. When this happens, doctors tell female patients that it is all in their heads and dismiss us when we tell them we are not cured with this synthetic T4 medication. Yet Synthroid is a chemical, and AT is natural from medical pigs, so the FDA is trying to Bann the only drug that has successfully treated millions of women. PS. Synthroid was not tested on women like many other drugs that were passed through the FDA before 2014! If you think this is a small problem, think again. Thyroid hormones are vital to human life, and the thyroid gland requires Iodine in the diet. The Midwest US has no Iodine in the soil or water. Therefore, this area is overburdened with hypothyroidism. I have been on AT for 50 years without complication and I have prescribed it thousands of times ever since I went into private practice.  AT works to relieve the symptoms of hypothyroidism for women and men, and it works better for women that the “new” drug Synthroid/levothyroxine, which is FDA approved. You ask how could the FDA approve a drug that doesn't successfully treat women? It is because Synthroid was not tested on women!  Until 2014 the FDA did not test women in the required drug trials.  AT works for us (women), Levothyroxine does not. Now the FDA wants to ban AT. It is not approved because it was around for decades before they started testing medications like they do now, and the history of successful treatment should stand on its own merit! Example 2: Bio-Identical Hormones BIH:  BIHs had not been approved by the FDA until recently and there was no announcement that they are now approved for women who have hormone deficiency symptoms or postmenopausal symptoms. Most doctors and women who have been afraid of the only hormones that can help them, bioidentical hormones, haven't yet been told that NOW, FINALLY the medical colleges and the FDA finally have quietly approved BI hormones.  There are no pure estradiol and pure testosterone pellets that are made by a drug company for women. My patients get their estradiol and testosterone pellets from a compounding pharmacy.  I have been prescribing BIH since 1985 without FDA approval because the oral estrogen formulations that were available at pharmacies caused weight gain and put women at high risk for blood clots. Non-oral BI hormones have fewer risks than FDA approved estrogens.  I waited more than 45 years for the FDA to approve BI hormones for treatment of women.  All those women in the last 45 years who were taking FDA approved estradiol and those who couldn't tolerate them have been harmed by FDA goals of never approving compounded or bio-identical hormones.  The delay has harmed 50% of American women. Example #3 Devices for Weight Loss I was involved in the discovery and testing of a unique device that stimulated acupuncture points with a TENS-unit-type patch connected to your cell phone for easy adjustment of your hunger or “fullness”. The FDA requires testing to approve any new device so the group of investors I was part of had to invest thousands of dollars for a device we already knew worked. The FDA told the investigators of all new devices who they should test, who they can't have in the study, and how long the testing should take. I found their parameters for the study of this device to be unrealistic. The women in our test group could not be taking hormones of any kind (birth control, ERT, HRT), and could not be on antidepressants, could not have diabetes or insulin resistance or be on any drug that assisted in weight loss. These women subjects had to be a certain BMI (level of obesity) and had to be tested repeatedly with weight and body composition measurements None of my patients who needed weight loss could participate.  Most GYN patients are on some medication or supplement, so the FDA made this study of our device so narrow that REAL WOMEN weren't tested! Sadly, we lost many women in the control group from the study because they were NOT losing weight while the ones on the device were obviously dropping pounds, so we had trouble maintaining test subjects. The testing phase of this simple device took 7 years! Our device works and no one will ever know about it or be able to use this non-medicinal weight loss device because when the FDA rejects your device you will be breaking the law if you produce and sell it directly to the public. It has no side effects or dangers..it just controls the amount you eat with stimulation of an acupuncture point. There are many ways to change this situation, and it takes years and billions of dollars to change the whole system of bringing treatments to patients quickly.  I'm afraid I won't see a revolution of the way we bring medicines and devices to market during my lifetime. Currently there is a 17-year delay between proving a drug or device works for a particular illness or condition and when it becomes available to doctors and patients. So what do we do in the meantime?  I seek treatments for patients who are unresponsive to traditional medicine by reading journals like Life Extension, that inform doctors and patients alike about new effective solutions for common medical complaints and diseases that the FDA has ignored or stymied with endless drug trials.  Life Extension Magazine highlights studies on new medications for diseases without an FDA approved solution and publicizes diagnostic tests often overlooked by mainstream publications because they are not yet FDA approved. The medical journals I read (New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Menopause, Metabolism and Endocrinology, Journal of Age management, to name a few) offer treatments for orphan diseases or even common problems that haven't been blessed by the FDA. It takes an average of 17 years from the culmination of research on a new drug, test or device until it is approved for use by the public! At the end of this Blog, I will give you a link to make your voice heard by signing a petition to shorten the approval of new treatments and medications from the average of 17 years to 3 years! My patients don't have time to wait for relief, and that may be the case for you as well. If you want to do something to help, please click this link and let the FDA know how you feel.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate supplements for safety and efficacy, so manufacturers don’t have to disclose their ingredients. We can’t always know for certain what’s in supplements we buy over the counter. Host Aaron Lohr talks with Meghana Pattipati, MD, an endocrine specialist at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center in Louisiana. Dr. Pattipati presented a study at ENDO 2025 in San Francisco titled, “Beware of the Hidden Ingredients and Supplement Use in Your Patients With Elevated Testosterone.” The presentation describes a case where a patient unknowingly ingested an ingredient that had a significant endocrine impact.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEEvery provider on a multidisciplinary neuroendocrine cancer (NET) team brings a distinct and valuable perspective. In this episode, UCLA endocrinologist Dr. Run Yu sheds light on the unique role of the endocrinologist. He explains what endocrinology is, which types of NETs may require an endocrinologist's care, and how endocrine issues intersect with NET management. Dr. Yu also explores the “endocrine” side of neuroendocrine—discussing key concerns related to diabetes, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenals.TOP TEN QUESTIONS 1. What is an endocrinologist? What training is involved? 2. Since there is “endocrine” in neuroendocrine, would NET patients need to see an endocrinologist? When should one see an endocrinologist? What is your role with your medical team? How is an endocrinologist different from a medical oncologist?If someone with neuroendocrine cancer needs to see an endocrinologist, does that person need to specialize in neuroendocrine cancer?3. If someone sees both an endocrinologist and a medical oncologist, what do you do and what does the medical oncologist do? How are treatment decisions made or coordinated? (Who is the “quarterback?”)4. Who orders the somatostatin injections? Are they done through the oncologist or endocrinologist? What if I need something else to control my neuroendocrine cancer symptoms?5. What are hormonal issues? How do I know if my neuroendocrine tumor produces hormones? 6.  What hormone tests do you check? 7. What tumor markers do you check? How do you interpret them?8. When might endocrine issues arise with neuroendocrine cancer?ThyroidParathyroidAdrenal9.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we dive into the latest news and analysis about one of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss and metabolic health.Let us jump right in with some breaking research. According to The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, new clinical trial data shows that a triple-dose of Ozempic, meaning 7.2 milligrams weekly, resulted in almost nineteen percent average weight loss in adults without diabetes. That is a substantial jump compared to the sixteen percent with the standard 2.4 milligram dose, and only around four percent with a placebo. Nearly half of those on the higher dose lost at least twenty percent of their body weight, and a third saw weight reductions of twenty-five percent or more. Even among adults with type 2 diabetes, the higher dose achieved thirteen percent weight loss, compared to ten percent with the lower dose. Waistlines, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol all improved on the higher dose. Safety remained solid, with the most common side effects being manageable nausea and diarrhea that usually settled down over time. Importantly, there was no increase in serious adverse events.Now, for lifestyle impacts and long-term use. A population-wide study presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes reports that half of people who start Ozempic for weight loss stop taking it within a year. Cost is a major factor, with the lowest dose costing around two thousand Euros a year in some areas. Younger adults and people from lower income neighborhoods were far more likely to discontinue, likely due to financial barriers. Adverse effects like nausea, and pre-existing conditions, played a role as well. The study found that men were more likely to stop early than women, and adherence was especially hard for those with a history of psychiatric conditions or chronic illness. That is concerning, since people with these conditions often need the benefits the most. Once people stop the medication, weight is often regained, showing just how important it is to find sustainable approaches to weight management.On the topic of who benefits most, a study in Frontiers in Clinical Diabetes and Healthcare highlighted that emotional eating can reduce the effectiveness of Ozempic. The medication is best for people who overeat due to external cues like the smell or appearance of food, rather than for those who eat in response to boredom, anxiety, or sadness. Health experts now recommend that healthcare providers assess a person's relationship with food before prescribing Ozempic or its counterparts. If emotional eating is a primary issue, psychological support may be necessary alongside medication.For those worried about cardiovascular risks, the REACH study presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes confirmed that Ozempic stands out for reducing cardiovascular risk, even among those with multiple chronic conditions. Large-scale, real-world data reinforce its value, particularly in older populations who often have comorbidities like heart disease.Let us also touch on a warning that has emerged: rapid weight loss with medications like Ozempic can cause muscle loss, particularly in women and older adults. While the fat loses fast, it is essential to protect muscle mass with diet and exercise. Experts stress that lifestyle habits—good nutrition, adequate sleep, and physical activity—remain crucial for long-term results, even when taking medication.To sum up, Ozempic continues to make headlines for its effectiveness, but sticking with the medication is a challenge for many due to cost, side effects, and complex eating habits. Emotional and physical health both need to be addressed for the best outcomes. As always, open discussion with healthcare professionals about individual goals, potential barriers, and long-term maintenance is vital.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

NOW it all makes sense - and it's backed by science! ONE little hormone, or the lack of it has changed you. And that my friend - is it. Your lack of sleep, your lack- or seeming lack - of empathy, potential heart trouble - and that general feeling that everyone else can suck a lemon - because you're going to do what you want now. All explained. According to the Harvard article, What is oxytocin? "Oxytocin is a hormone that's produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to facilitate childbirth, which is one of the reasons it is called the "love drug" or "love hormone." Oxytocin, like endorphins or serotonin, is a type of hormone in your body that promotes positive feelings.” And according to the Journal of Endocrinology, “Oxytocin is a neurohormone that regulates emotionality, social behaviors, and fundamental physiological systems. Localization of oxytocin receptors in the brain, reproductive tissues, bone, and heart support their role in mental health and potentially sleep, along with reproductive and cardiovascular functions.”   Scientific references discussed: https://joe.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/joe/262/1/JOE-23-0396.xml   https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/oxytocin-the-love-hormone Thank you for joining me today!
