Podcasts about evidence based

How do we navigate health information when we are constantly flooded with opinions, studies, social media advice, expert voices, and "evidence-based" claims? As a family medicine and obesity medicine physician, Dr. Emily vulnerably shares the tension she personally feels between trusting evidence, honoring expert perspective, and learning how to listen to your own body. This episode is not about rejecting science. It's not about ignoring experts. And it's not about "Dr. Google" becoming your primary care provider. It's about slowing down long enough to recognize that health is often more nuanced than one headline, one influencer, one study, or one viral opinion online. Dr. Emily walks through real-life examples involving GLP-1 medications, dementia research, medication side effects, social media health trends, and even her own recent unexplained health journey with severe eye swelling and allergic reactions. Throughout the episode, she explores: The difference between evidence-based medicine and expert interpretation Why studies don't always tell the full story The dangers of oversimplified health advice online How social media algorithms can distort medical conversations Why your body's lived experience matters The importance of slowing down and asking better questions How fear can push us into desperate health decisions The role that prayer, wisdom, discernment, and self-awareness play in healing Dr. Emily also opens up personally about: Navigating ongoing health symptoms without easy answers Working with multiple specialists Learning to trust both medical expertise and body awareness Why she values primary care medicine so deeply The emotional weight of making health decisions in a world full of noise This episode feels less like a lecture and more like sitting down with someone who genuinely wants you to pause, breathe, think critically, and remember that your health journey deserves wisdom — not panic. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is stop searching for instant answers long enough to actually listen. Your body may need to become the expert first before the internet does.

In Part 4 of Detox in a Toxic World, we take an evidence-based look at detox supplements, cleanses, binders, protocols, and some of the most common products being sold in the name of detox. From milk thistle, NAC, glutathione, and sulforaphane to activated charcoal, clay binders, detox teas, colon cleanses, and coffee enemas, this episode breaks down what may actually be supportive, what has limited evidence, and what may be harmful.We also talk about how to think more clearly about “detox supplements” versus supplements that support the body's natural detox pathways, why dramatic reactions are often mistaken for healing, and how to stay grounded in physiology rather than marketing.Companion Guide: drmaryellawood.com/guides

Read the full transcript here. How do we know whether the things we do every day actually work? Why do so many practices in medicine, parenting, education, conservation, and public policy begin as intuition, authority, or anecdote rather than careful evidence? What can the tragic history of front-sleeping advice and sudden infant death syndrome teach us about the danger of untested conventional wisdom? How should we distinguish between a bad outcome, a bad decision, and a reasonable decision made under uncertainty? When does intuition work well, and when does it fail because we lack repeated examples, tight feedback loops, or meaningful outcome data? What makes randomized trials so powerful, and why are they still only one part of the evidentiary picture? How should we weigh anecdotes, observational studies, randomized trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical guidelines, expert judgment, patient values, and political constraints? Why do people resist evidence when it threatens their identity, authority, or past decisions? What does evidence-based medicine get right that fields like education, policing, business, and conservation still struggle to embed? And in a world of social media, declining institutional influence, polarized trust in science, and AI-generated scientific output, how can we build better habits for finding, synthesizing, communicating, and acting on evidence?

Dr Russell Thackeray interviews Dr. Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj, an executive advisor, adjunct business school faculty member, and author focused on leadership transformation and human potential. They discuss how introductions differ across Western and other cultures, and how women leaders may adopt “masculine” communication to gain credibility. Both critique “bring your whole self to work,” arguing authenticity is often a loaded, double-edged term; she reframes it as clarity and consistency with values, while Russell emphasises observable behaviour and results. They explore disconnects between stated values and real conduct, and debate DE&I as either policing or a business-driven transformation agenda; Dr Shaheena stresses data-driven, impact-focused diversity, especially cognitive diversity and leadership that enables challenge and innovation. They address leadership courage, psychological safety, stewardship, short CEO tenures, contextualised leadership models, and Dr Shaheena's books Future-Proofing Your Career and Take the Lead.00:00 Introductions02:18 Gendered Introductions04:40 Authenticity At Work09:19 Values Versus Behaviour14:12 DEI And Innovation19:45 Conflict And Candour25:19 Hopeful Leadership Models28:37 Contextual Leadership Globally33:04 Books For Future Resilience34:37 Links35:13 Closing ReflectionsYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this episode, host Don Adeesha sits down with industry legend Tracey A. Hotta, past editor of the Plastic Surgical Nursing Journal and past president of ISPAN, to confront a problem hiding behind the hype: in a field driven by manufacturer marketing and weekend certifications, how do you build a practice on real clinical integrity? Tracey breaks down the practical markers that separate rigorous education from recipe-following: demanding white papers and regulatory licensing numbers from manufacturers, distinguishing genuine outside accreditation from "certified injector" marketing claims, and building a true preceptorship that moves new injectors from shadowing to supervised treatment only once they can reason through every decision. Her core framework is deceptively simple, teaching the why, not just the how, reinforced by facial anatomy labs, treating training as a privilege rather than a profit center, and grounding your business in professionalism and your code of ethics. As she puts it, ethics isn't a cost that turns away revenue; it's your strongest risk management strategy.

Dawn Friedman welcomes Dr. Melissa Giglio, a CBT therapist and director of Central Health Partners Child Development in Hong Kong, to discuss selective mutism (SM). Giglio explains SM as an anxiety disorder in which children who speak fluently at home are persistently unable to speak in specific settings, often mistaken for stubbornness, and distinguishes shyness from social anxiety and SM using persistence and functional impairment. They emphasize collaborating with schools, using gradual exposure without “rescuing,” helping children habituate, and coaching parents to stay calm, supportive, and non-accommodating while building distress tolerance and confidence. The conversation addresses anxious parents, concerns about traumatizing exposure, demand avoidance and providing perceived control with continued expectations, common comorbidities (including ADHD), when medication may help, and the need for evidence-based, systemic treatment involving parents and schools. Giglio shares resources (Bravery Grows book, a six-month journal) and intensive one-to-one camps in Hong Kong and Maine, plus outcomes when SM is untreated.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:17 Meet Dr Giglio01:47 What Is Selective Mutism02:44 Why The Name Changed03:37 Misconceptions And Oppositionality04:22 How Parents First Notice05:23 Shy Vs Social Anxiety06:53 When Anxiety Becomes Persistent09:43 Supporting Exposure Without Rescue11:55 Handling Meltdowns And Tiny Steps13:27 Anxious Parents And Trauma Fears16:12 PDA And Demand Avoidance Nuance20:00 Comorbidity And Medication Questions22:23 Overlearning Through Exposure22:54 Finding Proper SM Treatment23:47 Parents As Co Therapists27:08 Coaching Without Accommodating28:15 Books And Journals Tools31:25 Intensive Exposure Camps33:37 Wins And Progress Stories35:16 Risks Of Late Identification37:23 Let Kids Do Hard ThingsWorking with Dr. Giglio at Main Child Therapy CenterGrab her book, Bravery GrowsFollow her on Instagram

The vast majority of the time, “community standard of care” reflects evidence-based recommendations. This means that both the predominance of clinical data and what is clinically practice align one with another period but at times, clinical standard practice doesn't always align with what the data shows. How is this possible? This is exactly the case for home blood pressure monitoring in pregnancy (HBPM). This episode idea comes from an OB PGY-3, soon PGY-4, who asked his attending this brilliant question: “If the BUMP1 and BUMP2 clinical trials did not show a benefit with HBPM, why are we still doing it?” That is a complicated question that has a solid answer! Unsatisfied with his response, he asked for our opinion. Listen in for details.1. Tucker KL, et al. (2022).

Most fitness professionals believe they are giving members accurate, up-to-date guidance. The research says otherwise. Episode 18 of The Research Debrief examines two papers that reveal a significant disconnect between what the science says about resistance training and what practitioners and exercisers actually believe — and makes the case for why an evidence-based approach is essential for the fitness industry's credibility and long-term impact. This episode covers: - Two peer-reviewed papers reveal that gym-goers and fitness professionals alike can only identify exercise myths versus facts 50% of the time — essentially a coin flip. - What "evidence-based" actually means, and why it's different from being passionate, experienced, or well-credentialed. - Why the fitness industry's reliance on enthusiasm over expertise is costing it credibility with consumers, healthcare providers, and policymakers.

In this episode we speak with Dr. Chris DeArmitt about an emotionally charged topic in modern health and environmental discourse—microplastics, ocean waste, and the global push to eliminate plastics altogether. What happens when fear outpaces facts? This episode isn't about opinions—it's about evidence. Dr. Chris DeArmitt (PhD, FRSC, FIMMM) is widely recognized as the leading independent scientist and global authority on plastics, microplastics, and the environment. A materials scientist with decades of experience, he's addressed top forums and global media and is the trusted voice separating science from sensationalism. He is the author of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastic Illusion, making the most comprehensive, accessible case for evidence-based decisions on plastics and sustainability. Unlike industry lobbyists or activists, Dr. DeArmitt has invested thousands of unpaid hours reviewing and verifying thousands of peer reviewed studies to uncover what the science actually says—work that professors and environmental scientists worldwide have endorsed. He makes the science interesting and engaging by explaining it with analogies and examples anyone can relate to, helping audiences replace fear with facts and make smarter choices for people and the planet.

Brain fog, anxiety, low mood and memory slips are often brushed off as “stress” or “menopause” until life starts shrinking. We sit down with degree-qualified functional nutritionist Jo Greben to challenge that story and unpack a more useful lens: brain health as a bioenergetic problem where mitochondria, inflammation and fuel supply shape how well we think, feel and sleep.Jo shares what pulled her into dementia prevention and cognitive optimisation, including the impact of family history, brain injury, and seeing reversal-focused research that pushes beyond the outdated “nothing can be done” narrative. We talk about why genetics like ApoE4 raise risk but don't write your future, and why a proper assessment has to look at hormones, toxins, gut-brain signalling, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and the small details that most rushed consults miss.You'll also hear practical prevention strategies you can start early: better sleep hygiene, smarter exercise with strength training, protein needs in perimenopause and menopause, and how to have a better conversation with your GP about tests that matter such as homocysteine, B vitamins, vitamin D and high-sensitivity CRP. We finish with clinician-loved tools that support calm and cognition, including saffron, L-theanine, creatine and nicotinamide riboside (NR), plus a case study where addressing mould exposure helped reverse a frightening cognitive trajectory.If you care about dementia prevention, mental health, cognitive resilience and healthy ageing, hit play, share this with a friend who's been dismissed, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Most women are not thinking about their bones until a fracture happens or a scan comes back alarmingly. By then, the window for the most impactful intervention has often been narrowing for decades. Bone density peaks around age 18, not 30 as widely believed and the slow decline that follows is largely silent until it isn't.Professor Belinda Beck, PhD has spent more than two decades studying exactly what it takes to stop and reverse that decline. She is a professor at Griffith University, founder of the Bloom Clinic in Brisbane, and the principal investigator behind the LIFTMORE trials, a body of research that changed the scientific consensus on what is actually possible for women with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Her findings showed that heavy resistance and impact training twice weekly can safely grow bone mineral density in the spine and hip, even in women already diagnosed with very low bone mass and prior osteoporotic fractures. This was not what the medical establishment expected. And it fundamentally changed how serious practitioners now think about bone.This episode is sponsored by Zen Basil.

It's what we're looking for the entire resuscitation, but the real challenge begins once we get it… and what we do in the next few hours has a major impact on patient outcomes.In this episode, Sarah shares a real rapid response case to walk through the physiology, decision-making, and advocacy of post-arrest care. The 2025 AHA post resuscitation guidelines have brought important shifts to post-ROSC management, from how aggressively to oxygenate to when it's safe to prognosticate. Don't miss the full breakdown!Topics discussed in this episode:Oxygenation and ventilation: how to avoid hyperoxia and hypoxiaPerfusion, pressors, and the limits of MAPTemperature management guidelinesSedation, analgesia, and the paralyzed-but-awake patientDiagnostics: timing, priorities, and what to rule outHow to use neuroprognostication the right wayHow to talk to families without giving false hopeNursing priorities and how to advocate for your patientsCheck out the new Post Resuscitation Guidelines:https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIR.0000000000001375Listen to episode 73 — Resuscitate Before You Intubate: How to NOT KILL YOUR PATIENT When You Intubate: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/73-resuscitate-before-you-intubate-how-to-not-kill/id1535997752?i=1000630431016Mentioned in this episode:AND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!CONNECT

What supplements help with stress, sleep, and recovery after 40?The honest answer is a very short list of compounds with clinical evidence behind them, specific doses, mechanisms that matter for body composition, and specific safety profiles.This episode covers 5 compounds with clinical evidence for stress, mood, sleep, and recovery in adults over 40 who do strength training to lose fat and build muscle. Learn about the forms and doses studied, mechanisms relevant to body composition, findings from recent trials, head-to-head comparisons against prescription antidepressants for mild to moderate symptoms, and safety signals that have led one European country to ban one of these compounds.Plus a 30-second stress audit at the end to check whether recovery is the variable holding your results back.Join in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life.Timestamps:0:00 - 5 supplements for stress, mood, and recovery 1:13 - Where supplements fit after 40 3:53 - Sleep, cortisol, and body composition after 40 6:09 - Supplement 1 9:57 - Supplement 2 12:03 - Supplement 3 15:29 - How to evaluate your supplement stack 16:30 - Supplement 4 18:53 - Supplement 5 22:00 - Bonus: 30-second stress audit

Over the last few years, a new-ish phenomenon and the many debates & conversations it's spawned has been popping up in & on the lifting corners of social media. "Evidence-based" or "science-based" lifting is one of the more powerful pushes for optimization in the strength sports world, but what the hell does that even mean? Isn't ALL strength training "science-based," technically? Well, yes, but some people seem to feel differently. In this episode, we examine these debates & try to make some damn sense of them.You can find Fat Guy, Jacked Guy on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Our new eBook Do This Instead: Fat Guy, Jacked Guy's Guide to Revolutionary Strength is available on ⁠our website⁠ & on the ⁠Amazon Kindle store⁠.

Paul Merriman sits down with Larry Swedroe — author of 22 books and one of the most respected voices in evidence-based investing — for a conversation that covers everything from the five factors that actually matter to why Bitcoin might go to zero.Larry explains why judging your investment decisions by their outcomes is one of the most dangerous mistakes you can make, lays out the academic criteria he uses to separate real factor premiums from data mining, and reveals that he's made only three tactical moves in 30 years of investing. He and Paul use three eye-opening slides to show why chasing recent winners almost guarantees you'll underperform.They also dig into why growth stocks don't deliver the returns most people expect (hint: the growth rate is already in the price), why traditional index funds are "dumb traders" bleeding money to hedge funds, and how AI will make markets harder to beat — not easier.The audience Q&A covers emerging markets, the updated "Larry Portfolio," crypto, private equity, and which fund families Larry actually trusts with his own money.Part of the Spring Financial Education Series hosted by the Bainbridge Community Foundation in partnership with the Merriman Financial Education Foundation.LINKS & RESOURCES:  "Enrich Your Future" — Larry Swedroe  "Your Complete Guide to Factor-Based Investing" — Larry Swedroe & Andrew Berkin  "Your Complete Guide to a Successful and Secure Retirement" — Larry Swedroe  Larry Swedroe on Substack: https://larryswedroe.substack.com  The Hidden Flaw in Style Index FundsThe Hidden Costs of Index Replication: What Every Investor Needs to Know AboutAdverse Effects of Index ReplicationWatch the video here.Coming up in this series: Christine Benz (Morningstar), Mike Piper, and Bill Bernstein.

A gentle cesarean, also called a family-centered cesarean, involves adjustments that shift a cesarean from a standard surgical procedure to a more personal, connected birth experience. As cesarean births have become more common, the options available to you have expanded significantly. However, options only matter if you know they exist. If you do not know what you can ask for, you cannot advocate for it, especially when it comes to options that may not be part of your care provider's routine standard of care. This episode walks through every modification, from clear drapes and immediate skin-to-skin contact to a slower delivery and delayed cord clamping. We also take a deep dive into the rapidly evolving research on vaginal seeding and what it means for your baby's microbiome. Whether you are planning a cesarean or preparing a backup plan, understanding these options gives you the tools to advocate for the birth experience you want.
