Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today we dive into the latest headlines, research, controversies, and the practical realities of Ozempic, a medication originally crafted for type two diabetes that has rocketed into the spotlight for its weight-loss effects.Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, was approved in the United States in December 2017 to help manage blood sugar in people living with type two diabetes. However, it soon became widely prescribed off-label for weight loss, a trend that only accelerated after the higher-dose version, branded as Wegovy, received federal approval in 2021. According to the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1, helping regulate blood sugar and appetite. Many people using it experience reduced appetite and significant weight reduction.While its popularity continues to grow, so does scientific understanding. A 2025 study presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference revealed that Swiss patients with type two diabetes using oral semaglutide experienced clinically significant drops in both blood sugar and body weight. GlobalData reports that no new safety risks were identified in that trial, supporting ongoing confidence among healthcare professionals.But for those interested only in weight loss, it is not all smooth sailing. Ozempic carries a range of potential side effects. According to King Law, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the last year, with plaintiffs claiming they suffered severe complications such as gastroparesis, intestinal blockages, blood clots, and even hair loss. A study published this August found that women on Ozempic experienced twice the rate of hair loss as women who were not taking the drug, while men saw their risk climb by more than half.The United States Food and Drug Administration updated Ozempic's packaging earlier this year to warn about the risk of pancreatitis and severe kidney injuries, including potentially fatal outcomes linked to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. The label changes were driven by new clinical trial data and reinforce the importance of medical supervision when using these drugs.Shortages, once a common concern, have eased. The Food and Drug Administration officially took Ozempic off the drug shortage list in February after Novo Nordisk provided reassurance about inventory and supply. That move, however, sparked legal challenges from compounders competing in the market.Unfortunately, enthusiasm for rapid weight loss has also created a black market for Ozempic and similar drugs. The Food and Drug Administration cautions against using compounded or counterfeit versions, which have not undergone review for safety or effectiveness. Some of these unregulated products might be contaminated, mislabeled, or dangerously dosed. Always fill your prescriptions through a licensed pharmacy.For listeners interested in alternatives, exciting research is underway. Purdue University food scientists are investigating foods and supplements that naturally stimulate GLP-1, the hormone Ozempic is designed to mimic. While these approaches will not produce the dramatic weight loss seen with medication, they may help those seeking more natural solutions—especially if someone discontinues their prescription and needs help maintaining a healthy weight.So, where does Ozempic stand today? We have a medication achieving strong results for blood sugar control and weight loss, but one that comes with a profile of side effects still being researched, legal actions underscoring patient concerns, and increased focus on responsible, safe prescribing.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

On this week's episode, hosts Paul Matteis, Sam Fazeli, John Maraganore, and Graig Suvannaveijh kick off the discussion with a more positive look at the sector and some of the fundamental factors at play. The group then shares an overview of Sanofi's 10% stock fall on the back of positive Phase 3 eczema data with worries about the Dupixent patent expiry. The discussion then turns to Insmed, a company that has had a monster year with the stock up 100% and a market cap of over $30 billion market. On the data front, the group highlights ApoC3 data from Ionis and Arrowhead at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2025, which leads into a discussion around ASO versus RNAi. With multiple obesity readouts in recent weeks, the group theorizes on whether obesity is a zero sum game. It's a big year ahead for AD readouts and the hosts summarizes some important catalysts on the horizon. Other discussion topics include the launch of Corsera Health for cardiovascular prevention, Trump's Truth Social post on vaccine data, RFK Jr in front of congress, and public concern around access to vaccines. This episode aired on September 5, 2025.

At ESC 2025, a pair of presentations highlighted the ongoing debate over cardiovascular risk reduction with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound), yielding conflicting signals that clinicians will need to interpret carefully. In this special edition episode, cohosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, explore these studies: SURMOUNT-5 and STEER. A post hoc analysis of SURMOUNT-5 compared the 10-year predicted CV risk reduction between the 2 agents. Using the Framingham Risk Calculator in 751 patients with obesity, tirzepatide was associated with greater benefit than semaglutide. From baseline risks of ~9%, tirzepatide was projected to lower absolute 10-year CV risk by 2.4% (23% relative reduction) compared with 1.4% (13% relative reduction) for semaglutide. Investigators attributed the advantage largely to greater weight and glycemic reductions. In contrast, the STEER study, a real-world analysis of more than 21,000 patients with a mean follow-up of 8.5 months, suggested semaglutide was associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) than tirzepatide. Semaglutide users had a 29% risk reduction in nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or CV death compared with tirzepatide. Limitations included short follow-up, relatively few CV events, and the inherent confounding of observational data. Both Isaacs and Bellini emphasized that while weight and glycemic improvements with tirzepatide appear robust, CV benefits may be molecule-specific. The ongoing SURPASS-CVOT, comparing tirzepatide with dulaglutide, should provide more clarity when full data are released at EASD. In the interim, the hosts advised prescribing based on labeled indications supported by randomized outcomes data—semaglutide for CV and kidney risk reduction, tirzepatide for obesity and sleep apnea—while awaiting definitive trial results. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others. References: Mamas M.

We returned from the Labor Day holiday to a spate of intriguing deals, including two that could surpass $2 billion: Vertex's new pact with Enlaza for autoimmune disease—which the Casgevy maker hopes could ease conditioning for the sickle cell/beta thalassemia gene therapy—and Novartis' agreement with Arrowhead for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.  But as we look ahead, Thursday's Senate Finance Committee will be the focus this week, as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will answer questions after the ousting of CDC Director Susan Monarez. Her departure is reportedly linked to changes to the regulation of COVID-19 vaccines, for which the FDA last week issued restricted approvals to Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech and Novavax and rescinded the emergency use authorizations. The next ACIP meeting—where COVID-19 vaccines will be on the agenda—is set for Sept. 18 and 19.   In the weight loss arena, Novo Nordisk presented results from a real-world study this weekend at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Madrid showing that Wegovy cut the risk of heart attack, stroke or death by 57% compared to Eli Lilly's tirzepatide in people with obesity and cardiovascular disease. The company also continues to throw money into the space, last week inking a $550 million deal with Replicate for RNA-based treatments for obesity and diabetes. Meanwhile, Lilly is dropping studies of one oral obesity candidate as another nears a regulatory filing. Finally, the FDA greenlit the first GLP-1 generic for obesity.   We also discuss reactions to the FDA's new guidance on radiopharma drug development, four recent approvals for rare diseases, and everything you ever wanted to know about SPACs.

At the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2025 in Madrid, hosts Steve Greene, MD, and Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, sat down with Javed Butler, MD, to review the results of the highly anticipated VICTOR trial, a companion study to the pivotal VICTORIA trial evaluating vericiguat in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). While VICTORIA focused on patients recently hospitalized or otherwise destabilized, VICTOR deliberately enrolled the opposite population—ambulatory, stable patients, systematically excluding anyone with a recent hospitalization or outpatient IV diuretic use. As Butler noted, this created one of the most stable trial cohorts in HFrEF to date, with nearly 90% of participants free from hospitalization for over a year at baseline. Key Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:51 - Explaining the Patient Cohort 03:13 - The VICTORIA Trial 03:44 - Designing the VICTOR Endpoint 06:08 - Event Rates in Design Versus Execution 07:54 - VICTOR Results and Interpretation 10:34 - Reducing Heart Failure Mortality Without Impacting Hospitalization 15:57 - Is Worsening HF So Different from Outpatient HF? 17:29 - VICTOR Related to Mortality Reducing Therapies 20:15 - Is Vericiguat Not Primarily a Heart Failure Drug? 22:31 - Overlapping Pathways

A silent danger lurks within the descending thoracic aorta. While most Type B aortic dissections are managed medically, up to half of these patients will either require life-saving surgery or die within just five years. So how do we separate those who will quietly recover from those on the edge of catastrophe? How do we protect the spinal cord, bowel, and limbs from the devastating consequences of malperfusion? Join the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery as they tackle the high-stakes decisions behind managing this unpredictable disease—where timing is critical, interventions are evolving, and lives hang in the balance. Hosted by the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery: ·       Robert Beaulieu, Program Director ·       Frank Davis, Assistant Professor of Surgery ·       Luciano Delbono, PGY-5 House Officer ·       Andrew Huang, PGY-4 House Officer ·       Carolyn Judge, PGY-2 House Officer Learning Objectives: 1.         Discuss general approach to diagnosis and management of TBAD. 2.         Identifying high-risk features in uncomplicated TBAD and understanding their role in determining the need for surgical management. 3.         Review endovascular techniques for managing malperfusion of the limbs, viscera, and spinal cord and discuss associated decision making.

Flexibility is a cardinal virtue in physical fitness, and according to political psychologist and neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod, it can be a cardinal virtue in our mental health, too. How she came to that conclusion and how common rigid thinking can be are themes explored in her new book, The Ideological Brain. “I think that from all the research that I've done,” she tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast, “I feel that what rigid thinking does is it numbs people to the complexity of their own experience, and it simplifies their thinking. It makes them less free, less authentic, less expansive in their imagination.” And while she acknowledges there are times being unbending may be seen as an asset, “rigid thinking is rarely good for you at an individual level.” In this podcast, she details some of the work – both with social science experimentation and with brain imaging – that determines if people are flexible in their thinking, what are the real-life benefits of being flexible, if they can change, and how an ideological brain, i.e. a less flexible brain, affects politics and other realms of decision-making. “When you teach or when you try to impart flexible thinking, you're focusing on how people are thinking, not what they're thinking,” Zmigrod explains. “So it's not like you can have a curriculum of ‘like here is what you need to think in order to think flexibly,' but it's about teaching how to think in that balanced way that is receptive to evidence, that is receptive to change, but also isn't so persuadable that any new authority can come and take hold of your thoughts.” Zmigrod was a Gates Scholar at Cambridge University and won a winning a Junior Research Fellowship at Churchill College there. She has since held visiting fellowships at Stanford and Harvard universities, and both the Berlin and Paris Institutes for Advanced Study. Amond many honors the young scholar received are the ESCAN 2020 Young Investigator Award by the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, the Glushko Dissertation Prize in Cognitive Science by the Cognitive Science Society, . the 2020 Women of the Future Science Award and the 2022 Women in Cognitive Science Emerging Leader Award, and the 2022 Distinguished Junior Scholar Award in Political Psychology by the American Political Science Association. 

You are called to assess a pregnant woman who presents to your hospital complaining of shortness of breath. She is 36 weeks pregnant with twins and tells you she had been getting progressively short of breath over the last month but put it down to the physical effects of the twin pregnancy in her abdomen. However last night she couldn't get her breath lying flat, had to sleep sitting up on 3-4 pillows and feels that "it is much worse". On examination she has a respiratory rate of 24/min, SpO2 = 92%, HR 105/min, BP 95/45 and you can hear crepitations in both lung fields. Her initial blood tests come back showing a raised plasma BNP and a bedside ECHO is done by a helpful colleague - who says "subjectively her LV isn't contracting very well". Hi everyone, This week I sit down with Dr Faith Njue the most qualified person here in WA to discuss the rare but important disease - peripartum cardiomyopathy. (See Faith's Bio below). Join us in our wide ranging discussion which touches on the diagnostic challenges, demographics, proposed mechanisms and general principles involved in managing these complex patients. Thanks Faith for a great discussion! Dr Faith Njue - Bio Faith Njue graduated from the University of Western Australia and completed cardiology training in Perth. She undertook further subspeciality training in advanced heart failure/ heart transplantation at Fiona Stanley Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute in Canada. Thereafter, she undertook further fellowship in cardio-obstetrics at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford (UK). She has special interest in women's cardiovascular health, heart disease in pregnancy and heart failure. Faith runs the dedicated Western Cardiology cardio-obstetrics clinic, designed to support women at risk of or with pre-existing heart conditions, through preconception counselling, pregnancy and into the post-partum period. Cardio-obstetrics is an expanding subspecialty that focuses on prevention, early detection, and appropriate management of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy. She holds public consultant positions at Sir Charles Gairdner and Fiona Stanley hospitals. She is part of the Advanced heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant team at FSH. She is the cardiology clinical lead for High Risk pregnancy at FSH. References Anaesthesia and peripartum cardiomyopathy Chapman, K. Njue F, Rucklidge M.

It's Tuesday, June 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Syrian suicide bomber A suicide bomber entered an Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria on Sunday killing 22 people and wounding at least 63 others, reports ABC News. The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility. No increased nuclear radiation levels after U.S. bombing in Iran The International Atomic Energy Agency reports no increase in off-site radiation levels at the three Iranian sites bombed by the United States and Israel. The neighboring Kuwait government has also confirmed that “no abnormal radiation levels have been detected in any of the member states.” The whereabouts of 400 kilograms of highly enriched Uranium in Iran is still a mystery. Israel bombed Iran's Evin Prison Israel continues its bombardment on Iran, including a bombing of the notorious Evin prison, where a number of Christians are held, and have been tortured over the last several decades. Trump: Israel & Iran agreed to cease-fire to end “12-Day War” On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire, declaring an end to what he referred to as “The 12 Day War,” reports The Epoch Times. In a Truth Social Post, Trump wrote,  “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED!” Both sides will wind down their final military operations within 12 hours, beginning what Trump expects to be “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” on both sides. The conflict will be declared over within 24 hours. However, The New York Times indicated that there is no confirmation yet from Israel and Iran. Russia bombed Ukraine with 16 missiles and 352 drones The Russian army unleashed a heavy bombardment on Kiev, Ukraine yesterday involving 352 drones and 16 missiles, reports Reuters. At least 10 Ukrainians died in the attack. This follows another attack last week which killed 28 people.  Zelensky assassination plot foiled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish elderly man who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, reports Newsweek. The man was activated to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle. The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology. The assassination plot was foiled by a joint effort of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency, and the Polish internal security service known as ABW. Americans less isolationist Americans are moving away from isolationism according to a recent survey by the Ronald Reagan Institute. In the last three years, Americans who believe the United States should be more engaged in international events has seen a 24% increase. Specifically, 69% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 73% of MAGA/Trump Republicans want to see more engagement internationally. A supermajority of Americans – 84% -- state their support for preventing the Islamic Republic from gaining access to nuclear weapons. Only 57% of Americans would agree with the statement that “the United States is better served by withdrawing from international events and focusing on problems here at home.” The major shift in American opinions on this has occurred since the November election.  Russia economy expanded by 4.3% last year Despite international pressures, the Russian economy expanded by 4.3% last year. This compares to a 1.1% bump for the United Kingdom, and a 2.8% bump for the U.S. economy last year. Supreme Court temporarily allows deportations to third countries In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the Supreme Court temporarily lifted a lower court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrants to so-called third countries to which they have no connection, reports The Epoch Times. The unsigned order came in the case known as Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D. Michigan church shooting prevented   A heavily-armed man attempted a massacre at the Wayne, Michigan Crosspointe Community Church, reports CBS News. Thankfully, he didn't make it into the building. A parishioner rammed him with his truck, and the security team engaged him in the parking lot.  The suspect was pronounced dead when police arrived on the scene. One security guard took a shot in the leg. Based on national news sources, there are 1-2 church shootings per year in this country. That's 1 out of 380,000 churches.  Psalm 27:1-2 is always the right mindset. It says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.” Ohio pro-life legislators want to protect babies from conception Several Ohio legislators are floating a bill that outlaws the willful murder of a child from the point of conception. The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” introduced by state Representatives Levi Dean and Johnathan Newman, would overturn the 2023 referendum amendment that legalized abortion in Ohio.  In Psalm 22, the psalmist confesses, “You … took me out of the womb; You made me trust while on my mother's breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. from my mother's womb You have been my God.”  Older Americans more likely to have Biblical worldview George Barna's 2025 American Worldview Inventory report has been released and he concludes that only 1% of adults under 30 have a Biblical worldview. That compares with 5% for adults over 50, and 8% for adults over 65. Also, 69% of young Gen Z Americans believe abortion is morally acceptable. That's up from 60% for the Gen X and Boomer generations. Then, 73% of Gen Zers agree that sex outside of marriage is okay.  That's up from 59% with the Boomer Generation.  Fifth Circuit deems Louisiana Ten Commandments law unconstitutional The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Louisiana's law requiring the posting of The Ten Commandments in public schools, reports Courthouse News Service. The Louisiana law required schools which receive public funding to post a framed copy of The 10 Commandments in the classrooms. Observatory identified and photographed 10 million galaxies The Rubin Observatory, located in South America's Andes Mountain, has completed its first 10 hours of operation and identified 2,104 new asteroids never seen before, and photographed 10 million galaxies, reports the BBC. The observatory features a 28-foot telescope and an ultra-wide, ultra-high definition camera.  Sperm donor passed cancer gene to 67 children In other science news, a sperm donor in Europe has passed a cancer gene on to 67 children. Already, at least ten of the children have signs of cancer, all of them born between 2008 and 2015. The case was discussed at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. Dr. Edwige Kasper, a specialist in genetic predisposition to cancer at the Rouen University Hospital in Rouen, France, said, “The variant would have been practically undetectable in 2008 when the individual started to donate sperm.” U.S. housing prices spike Housing prices in the U.S. are still reaching record highs. The median price of homes sold last month was $423,000, up 1.3% from May of 2024. 7 Worldview listeners gave $2,828.30  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our final $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 7 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Nathan in Cleveland, Tennessee who gave $25, N.B. in Ripon, North Yorkshire, England who gave $30, and Logan and Bianca in Manzini, Eswatini, Africa who gave $70. And we're grateful to God for Gloria in  Westminster, Colorado who gave $103.30, Payton in Georgetown, Texas who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Amy in Eldorado, Wisconsin who gave $1,000, and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California who also gave $1,000. Those 7 Worldview listeners gave a total of $2,828.30. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $65,401.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)  Still need to raise $58,098.45!  Looking for 9 Super Donors! That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise a whopping $58,098.45 in just 7 days.  Oh my!  I've got butterflies in my stomach. Is there 1 businessperson who could donate $10,000?  3 businesspeople who could give $5,000?  5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then we would need another 8 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.  And another 16 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.  If you want to make it a monthly pledge, click on the recurring tab. If everybody does something – no matter how big or small – we will knock this relatively modest budget out of the park. Attention donors from this year: Send email urging others to donate! Lastly, I would love to feature a 2-3 sentence email from those who have already given this year, whose names I will not cite, with your encouragement for your fellow listeners to consider a last minute gift.  Just include your city and state send it to Adam@TheWorldview.com Speak from your heart about why you gave and why you would urge others to join you to fund The Worldview in 5 Minutes. Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025.  Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The white-coat effect is a measure of blood pressure change from before to during the visit in office/clinic when the blood pressure is recorded by a physician or nurse; this was first described in 1983 by Mancia et al, and was initially thought to represent a benign process. But it was unclear what this actually meant for pregnancy. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been used in pregnancy for about 20 years now. Use of this monitoring option has revealed a subgroup of patients who have persistently high blood pressure (BP) in the presence of health care providers, but a normal ambulatory or self-measured BP. This phenomenon has been termed “White Coat Hypertension” (WCH). In 2013, The International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) published the revised classification for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, that included WCH, not previously included. The ISSHP guidelines also emphasize that a diagnosis of white coat hypertension in pregnancy should only be considered before 20 weeks of gestation. We now know that WCH, outside of pregnancy, is not an entirely benign process. The role of metabolic risk factors in patients with white-coat hypertension was first outlined in 2000 by Kario and Pickering. When metabolic risk factors are present in association with white-coat hypertension, the increased risk of target organ damage is determined not only by the blood pressure characteristics but also by the metabolic abnormalities. Recognizing the potential risks of white coat hypertension was also published in a commentary in 2016 out of the European Society of Cardiology. That article's title was, “White-coat hypertension: not so innocent”. But what is the latest data on WCH in pregnancy? Is WCH linked to poor obstetrical outcomes? Does WHC need medication therapy? We have data from 2024 to help us. Listen in for details.

We're at Euroanaesthesia 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal. Here we discuss the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care's initiatives, focusing on the innovations in the scientific program in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine, and the importance of inclusivity and diversity within the society. The episode also highlights the future direction of the society, the role of trainees, and offers insights into the upcoming Congress in Rotterdam. Listeners are encouraged to apply for roles and join the society for its educational resources and global networking opportunities. Presented by Kate Leslie with her guests, Michel Struys is Professor and Chair, Department of Anesthesiology, University of Groningen and University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands, and chair of the Scientific Committee of ESAIC, and Fabio Guarracino, Head of the Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at Pisa University Hospital, Pisa, Italy, and incoming chair of the Scientific Committee of ESAIC.

*Note: This is the Free Content version of my interview with Veronica French. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below. PROGRAM NOTESReferences:Olivia Cejan: "Arts and Crafts Divine" is her dissertation utilizing autoethnography and pedagogy to write about a secret society group. Talk at Copenhagen Conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2qvGcy5pY&t=524sCorrine Sombrun: -Her institute: https://trancescience.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDs10hUy6ETrailer to her movie; English subtitlesTed Talk:English subtitleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0kIECFi0Uhttps://amara.org/videos/Tcvokh51yb2Y/en/1543652/?tab=revisionsAnother interview with English (Google)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syy4MTHAfF4 Alice Ahern: Phd Cork Ireland, studying shamanism and pop culture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCeV7MLtFcYoutube talk:  "The Reclamation of Feminine Wisdom in the Irish Neo-Shamanic Milieu" Traditional Religions view on Nature Religions:https://fore.yale.edu/Event-Listings/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Conference-Series/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Archivehttps://fore.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/annual_review_environment.pdfBibliography :Eliade, Mircea.

Key topics include patient safety, sustainability in medical practices, and the role of artificial intelligence in improving anesthesiology. Eduardo also discusses workforce shortages in Europe and the importance of maintaining a well-trained and happy workforce for optimal patient outcomes. Presented by Kate Leslie, with her guest Edoardo De Robertis, Professor and Director of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Università degli Studi di Perugia, Italy, and former president of ESAIC. He currently serves on the National Anaesthesiologists Societies Committee (NASC).

In this episode, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension, including a newer endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) called aprocitentan (Tryvio®). Key Concepts The diagnosis of true resistant hypertension is based on requiring more than 3 antihypertensives (ACE inhibitor or ARB + calcium channel blocker + diuretic) to achieve goal BP, ruling out inaccurate BP readings, and ensuring patient adherence to their antihypertensive therapy. Non-pharmacologic therapy (especially dietary sodium restriction), medication adherence, and lifestyle changes are critical to the treatment of resistant hypertension. The preferred 4th line option for most patients with resistant hypertension is spironolactone. After adding spironolactone, additional therapies are based on expert opinion and patient-specific factors. These additional therapies may include beta blockers, alpha-2 agonists, alpha-1 blockers, hydralazine, minoxidil, and aprocitentan. References Carey RM, Calhoun DA, Bakris GL, et al.
