    We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

    In a recent discussion, popular evangelist Cliffe Knechtle stated that "transgenderism itself is not a sin". That claim has sparked significant debate among Christians who are asking a crucial question, "What does the Bible actually say regarding transgenderism?" His comments come in the midst of a troubling cultural moment, as several recent mass shootings have involved individuals who identified as transgender, including the tragedy at the Covenant School in Nashville, the shooting at the hockey rink in Rhode Island, and the recent shooting at Tumbler Ridge. What we want to examine is what Scripture teaches about identity and sin evaluate Knechtle's claim in light of the full council of God's Word, and carefully ask a difficult but important question... Is there any connection between the underlying condition driving transgender identification and the instability we're seeing in some of these violent shootings that are taking place?

    You are going to love this episode. Today we are going to dive into a teenager's emotional life. I think what makes parenting teens so challenging is dealing with their intense emotions. Sometimes you're the target of their emotional storms and sometimes they turn their emotions inward. You worry about them being depressed or anxious. How many times have we brought up a simple request to our teen, but it turns out to be not so simple because it triggers a huge emotional response? Moms can find themselves avoiding talking about important topics because they don't know how to handle their emotions. I invited Dr. Lisa Damour, the author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, to talk about this nuanced subject of teenage emotions. In this episode we focus on her chapter called Managing Emotions, Part One: Helping Teens Express Their Emotions and the following chapter called Managing Emotions, Part Two: Helping Teens Regain Emotional Control Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice.

    Abby and Patrick welcome Helen Epstein, Visiting Professor of Human Rights and Global Public Health at Bard College and author of the new book Why Live: How Suicide Becomes an Epidemic. After sketching out the history of contemporary western sociological and philosophical accounts of suicide in general from Durkheim to the existentialists and beyond, the three turn to the specific focus of Epstein's research: suicide epidemics. As Epstein elaborates, suicide epidemics – wherein entire communities experience sudden and acute spikes in suicide rates – raise urgent questions about the social, economic, and emotional contexts of suicidal distress. What broad conditions can make people feel like life is no longer worth living? What models of meaningful life do communities transmit intergenerationally, and how do those models – and those communities – crumble under pressure? Exploring examples from Micronesia to Nunavut and from 1990s Russia to the contemporary United States and taking up communities from 19th century industrial workers to contemporary American military veterans, Epstein walks Abby and Patrick through her findings, leading the three to reflect on how societies metabolize historical change and economic dislocation on the level of families and across generations. Helen Epstein, Why Live: When Suicide Becomes an Epidemic.Have you noticed that Freud is back?

But at a time when celebrities who were once known for their political outspokenness have gotten strangely coy (Taylor Swift and Beyoncé come to mind), one naturally begins to wonder if something is amiss.

    Is infertility becoming a global epidemic—and are we asking the wrong questions about fertility?     In this eye-opening conversation, Lisa sits down with internationally recognized fertility expert Dr. Gabriela Rosa to unpack the real data behind infertility rates, IVF success statistics, and the rising cost of getting pregnant. Dr. Rosa explains why fertility is a "team sport," how male factor infertility contributes more than most couples realize, and why IVF often bypasses the true root cause.     They also dive into PCOS, insulin resistance, weight training, Ozempic, environmental toxins, and the powerful mindset shift of "act pregnant now to get pregnant later." If you're struggling to conceive—or simply want to optimize your fertility—this episode delivers practical, empowering guidance grounded in science.

    In hour 1 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off with the episode's provocative title, "Well, Well, Well," unpacking the recent mass shooting at a hockey arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, by transgender individual Robert Dorgan (aka Roberta Esposito). Clay examines emerging patterns of violence tied to transgender ideology, citing a list of recent incidents from Benny Johnson—including the Tumbler Ridge school shooting, Nashville Christian school tragedy, and more—while addressing mental illness, radicalization, autism, and societal trends. He calls out stereotypes as "earned, not given" and warns of an "epidemic" of trans-related violence per capita. Shifting to cultural commentary, Clay reacts to a Slate article where a progressive writer boasts about arming up against conservatives, highlighting media double standards. The hour wraps with an introduction to "horizonlessness"—that aimless, blah feeling in modern life—blaming social media's short-form content for brain rot and sharing personal detox strategies. Tune in for raw insights on culture, violence, and reclaiming purpose.

    Long before modern TCM was standardized, systematized, and filtered through a biomedical lens, Classical Chinese Medicine described health as harmony...not the absence of pathogens, but the presence of balance.In this conversation, Tommy Hughes walks us back to the original canon — the Huangdi Neijing, the language of Qi, the cosmology of seasons, and the principle of treating what is not yet diseased.We explore the distinction between pathogenesis and salutogenesis, why ancient physicians prioritized vitality over diagnosis, and how the classical view of epidemics centered on terrain, climate, and susceptibility rather than transmission alone.Along the way, we unpack:The differences between modern TCM and its classical foundationsWhy “treating what is not yet diseased” represents a fundamentally different medical paradigmHow dampness and seasonal energetics shaped classical understandings of epidemicsThe principle of correlative resonance and what we tune ourselves toWhy chronic disease in the classical texts implicates the Heart and the spirit, not just the bodyThe risks of biohacking extremes in a system built on balanceThis is a return to first principles. A medicine rooted in rhythm, relationship, and responsibility for one's terrain.Is Classical Chinese Medicine the original Terrain Theory?To learn more about Tommy's work, follow him on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@naturallytom2302 or reach out to him at naturallytom@tutamail.com. Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

    Ep. 80 - Joining me is Jim Dudley, host of Police1's acclaimed podcast Policing Matters. Jim was with the San Francisco Police Department for 32 years, rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. He takes us back to policing in San Francisco in the 1980s and walks through how the profession — and crime itself — evolved over the decades, from the crack epidemic to today's open drug use and reforms impacting law enforcement like reducing felony charges to misdemeanors. He reflects on his time as an Investigator in the Bureau of Inspectors, working cases ranging from burglary and property crimes to domestic violence, assaults, and serious violent offenses.Jim also speaks candidly about the critical incident in which he used deadly force to save his own life and his partner's during a struggle with an armed suspect. We discuss the reality of being investigated after a fatal use-of-force incident, the emotional toll that follows, and how that experience shaped his leadership style when supporting officers navigating their own critical incidents.Since retiring in 2013, Jim has continued serving the profession as the host of Policing Matters and as a criminal justice instructor at San Francisco State University, where he has taught for 14 years. We touch on a topic of particular interest to me and that is the impact criminal justice professors can have on framing the national narrative on policing.

    Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that proves nostalgia is just disappointment with better branding.Today's episode kicks off with the downfall of childhood “investments,” as Magic: The Gathering collectors accuse Hasbro of flooding the market and tanking card values — which immediately sends the crew spiraling into baseball card trauma. Remember when a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was supposed to pay for college, a house, and early retirement? Yeah… about that.From there, things take a turn toward the supernatural when we ask the important question: can a rock band curse an NBA team? After an arena employee blames a satanic-looking concert for the Orlando Magic's losing streak, we dive headfirst into modern Satanic Panic, Ghost's spooky theatrics, and whether teams should sage their arenas instead of practicing defense.Then it's off to Westeros, where the new Game of Thrones spinoff raises serious questions — like where everyone goes to the bathroom, why HBO is obsessed with realism in the weirdest ways, and whether giant fake dongs are now part of the network's brand strategy. Things escalate quickly as the crew debates gratuitous nudity, legacy characters, and which original GoT character would theoretically win a very unnecessary competition.The back half of this daily comedy show delivers a full round of Crap on Celebrities, including music collabs, Super Bowl ads released way too early, outrageous ticket prices, Dirty Dancing sequels, James Bond movies that aged like milk, and a Ken doll promo video that is genuinely unsettling. Add birthdays, pop culture hot takes, and classic Rizz Show derailments, and you've got another beautifully unhinged episode.If you like your pop culture commentary sarcastic, your nostalgia roasted, and your comedy slightly concerned for humanity — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
