Episode 3476: Dr. Neal Malik answers a listener's question about whether saunas and cold showers are worth prioritizing for better health and longevity, separating popular claims from what the research actually supports. He explains why traditional steam saunas appear to offer cardiovascular and other health benefits for many people, while the current evidence for cold water immersion is much weaker and may even suggest potential downsides. Quotes to ponder: "When we spend time in the environments I just described or really when we're exposed to a lot of heat our bodies respond by dilating our blood vessels which means the inner lining of our blood vessels get bigger." "Some researchers have found that regular use of saunas may decrease pain levels in those experiencing chronic pain like those that suffer from arthritis." "The reason you hear so much about the benefits of antioxidants is because they help our bodies get rid of free radicals."

The Big Unlock · Dr. Anne Snowdon, Scientific Director and CEO, SCAN Health and Chief Scientific Research Officer, HIMSS In this episode, Dr. Anne Snowdon, Scientific Director and CEO at SCAN Health and Chief Scientific Research Officer at HIMSS, explores why AI has the potential to transform healthcare, but only if health systems build the evidence, infrastructure, and workforce readiness to support it. She argues that while AI is generating tremendous excitement, most health systems are still in the early stages of adoption with many initiatives remaining in pilot phases. Dr. Snowdon explains that healthcare must shift from deterministic decision-making toward probabilistic, predictive care, while developing new approaches to continuously evaluate AI as it learns and evolves. She also highlights the need to improve AI literacy among clinicians and establish stronger evidence before scaling enterprise-wide deployments. Beyond clinical workflows, Dr. Snowdon makes a compelling case for reimagining digital health around patients rather than health systems. She envisions AI empowering individuals to better manage their health while seamlessly connecting them with trusted providers through interoperable, data-driven ecosystems. She also identifies digitally enabled supply chains as a critical but often overlooked foundation for safer, more personalized, and higher-quality care. She believes that the future of healthcare depends not just on adopting AI, but on creating connected, evidence-based systems that improve outcomes for patients, clinicians, and the broader health ecosystem. Take a listen. This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum.

Sign up for my free newsletter and get 1-page action plans (Dr. Bobby's 1-page PrescriptionsA birthday can sneak up on you and suddenly you're asking a blunt question: what am I actually doing for my health, and am I focused on the right things? As I near 70, I share the health plan I actually follow, not as a template for you to copy, but as a clear way to think about your own evidence-based health plan for longevity, energy, and a life you still want to live.I organize my choices into three practical buckets. First: what I can influence directly, without needing anyone else or a prescription. That includes aerobic exercise (the easiest “yes” because I love endurance work), sleep (the hardest “yes” because it requires protecting bedtime), alcohol (a real tradeoff because it impacts sleep and raises concerns around dementia risk), and simple nutrition habits like maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough protein without obsessing over the perfect diet. I also talk about injury prevention as we age, because staying consistent beats proving you can suffer, plus the value of N-of-1 experiments like testing magnesium for muscle cramps.Second: where I need support from others. Knowing the evidence doesn't guarantee I do the work, and strength training is my best example. I explain why accountability and a trainer can be the bridge between knowing and doing, and I share how getting real help for emotional health, including EMDR, can succeed when decades of solo effort don't.Third: where medication is the right evidence-based tool. I push back hard on the wellness narrative that needing prescriptions means you failed, and I walk through how I think about blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and long-term mental health treatment.If this helps you rethink your own plan, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Keto, carnivore, and high-protein diets come under scrutiny as Popper exposes the long-term risks of these popular trends. #KetoDangers #CarnivoreMyths #ProteinFacts #HealthTalks

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning’s sermon, “For This Reason,” digging deeper into the value and importance of developing an evidence-based faith.

In this episode I am speaking with Doug Lemov. Doug is one of my all time teaching heroes and an incredible person in the world of education. He is the founder and leader of Teach Like a Champion, an organisation that studies exceptional teachers and translates their practice into replicable techniques. Most notably, these are shared via the Teach Like a Champion books which are now on their 3.0 version.Whilst the TLAC books are an exceptional example of how to improve any teacher's classroom instruction and curriculum design, Doug has also authored and co-authored the likes of Practice Perfect, The Coach's Guide to Teaching, Teaching in the Online Classroom, Reading Reconsidered and The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading. It was on the topic of the last two books that I most wanted to speak to Doug. Reading and the associated knowledge students gain from it has always been of great importance within English, but this has never been more prevalent in the age of smartphones, the internet and its associated economy of attention.We discussWhat the biggest oversights English teachers might have about reading instructionWhy solid advice, effectively communicated, isn't enough to improve reading instruction in schoolsAny prerequisites an internal canon of literature should adhere toWhy engaging with a contiguous, 300 page text is better than a unit filled with diverse extracts exploring a common themeAnd finally, when and how we release our level of control and encourage students to read more challenging books at homeThank you so much to Doug for speaking with me and the legendary support he has given to teachers down the years with his team at Teach Like a Champion.If you'd like to be kept up to date on when chat like this happens, feel free to subscribe to the podcast and follow me on LinkedIn @chrisjordanhk or X @chrisjordanhkAdditionally, if you would like a head start on learning how to prioritise your middle years English curriculum, head to the bottom of this podcast's show notes or top of my stream on X to find a beta copy of my forthcoming book: Reinforcing Middle School English You can read as much as you want and even highlight elements that you like, dislike or find confusing to help make it better.Links:Beta version of Reinforcing Middle School EnglishDoug's books

Evidence-Based Nutrition Delivers Hope Worldwide "My journey into the whole-food plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle began with a moment of disbelief and awakening. After finishing The China Study, by Drs. T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell, I found myself asking, "Why didn't I learn this before?" As a physician, it was both humbling and unsettling. I felt that, up until that moment, I had only understood part of what it truly means to promote health. Yet that realization quickly turned into empowerment." Written by Marianne Pia F.

Episode Summary Do you ever feel like you're practicing on an island, unsure of who to trust for quality CE or where to turn when you hit a wall with a complex case ? In this episode of Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert introduces a masterclass in shifting your perspective from single-tooth dentistry to systemic health . Joining the show is Dr. Jeff Rouse, a preeminent authority on airway dentistry, prosthodontist, and Spear Education resident faculty member . Dr. Rouse completely reframes the airway conversation, arguing that most practitioners are getting it wrong by trying to force patients into prefabricated appliance boxes or focusing solely on end-stage sleep apnea . Instead, he explains why airway is fundamentally an anatomical problem . By pushing Frank Spear's facially-generated treatment planning into three dimensions—vertical, transverse, and sagittal—Dr. Rouse demonstrates how a compromised smile design is often a cry for help from an unhealthy upper airway . If you have ever bulked up veneers to camouflage a structural issue that actually required skeletal correction, this conversation will completely change how you treatment plan . Key Takeaways From This Episode Airway vs. Sleep: Why Dr. Rouse deliberately abandoned the word "sleep" in favor of "airway" back in 2008 to focus on early anatomical intervention before long-term neurological damage occurs . The Pitfalls of One-Size-Fits-All Appliances: A critical look at corporately and financially-driven prefabricated appliances in pediatric dentistry that prioritize practice profit over scientific, individualized diagnosis . The 3 Dimensions of Airway Anatomy: How the vertical, transverse, and sagittal boundaries of a traditional denture wax rim mirror the exact dimensions required for healthy nasal breathing . The Numbers Behind the Health: A look at clinical benchmarks, including Eric Doolan's research showing that a bone-to-bone palatal measurement under 30 millimeters guarantees illness, while 34 millimeters or greater promotes health . Recognizing the "Sick" Patient Typologies: The Apnea Patient: Often characterized by snoring, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, AFib, and a lack of deep sleep required to clear brain toxins, which is closely linked to dementia and Alzheimer's . Young, Fit Patients: Toned individuals (particularly pre-menopausal women protected by progesterone) who do not exhibit apnea but suffer heavily from functional somatic syndromes like chronic fatigue, IBS, fibromyalgia, migraines, and TMJ disorders . Pediatric Patients: Growing children whose airway deficiencies directly correlate with ADHD and ADD diagnoses, yet are routinely given medications rather than a proper breathing and sleep evaluation . Anatomy Wins the Day: Why normalizing skeletal and dentoalveolar housing should always be the priority, ensuring patients finish treatment not only healthier but with beautiful faces, perfect bites, and stunning smiles . Featured Guest Dr. Jeff Rouse is a prosthodontist in private practice in San Antonio, Texas, and a member of the resident faculty at Spear Education . He previously practiced alongside dental icons Dr. Greg Kinzer and Dr. Frank Spear in Seattle . Dr. Rouse is the co-author of the textbook Global Diagnosis: A New Vision of Dental Diagnosis and Treatment Planning alongside Dr. Bill Robbins, and he lectures internationally on dental aesthetics and airway prosthodontics .

When Marybeth Gilliam was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, she did what her years as a healthcare researcher had trained her to do: she went looking for the evidence. What she found was a gap between a growing body of peer-reviewed research pointing to strategies that can improve outcomes, and the fact that most of it never reached patients because it hadn't yet become standard of care.In this episode of Patient From Hell, host Samira Daswani sits down with Marybeth, founder of Outperform Cancer, to talk about how she is working to close that gap. She translates overlooked, peer-reviewed findings into steps patients can actually take, always paired with standard treatment rather than in place of it. Exercise, nutrition, and sleep are part of it, and so is asking sharper questions about biomarker testing, weighing well-supported off-label options, and refusing to take no for an answer when the data is strong.She shares her own story, the research that reshaped her thinking, and a practical case for taking an active role in your care when the first treatment decisions matter most.In this episode:Why she founded Outperform Cancer to close the gap between research and the clinicHow she pairs evidence-based strategies with standard treatment, not instead of itBiomarker testing and advocating for off-label options backed by solid trials (PATINA, MA.32)What being your own advocate actually looks like in the exam roomThis podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Host David Brühlmann returns for a focused solo episode to provide an honest, data-driven perspective on the evolving landscape of host selection for biologics manufacturing. Building on part one, David reviews five alternative expression platforms and offers a clear, practical framework for scientists navigating host cell decisions today. David Brühlmann moves past simplistic "replacement" narratives to instead examine where each technology, from plant farming to cell-free systems, fits in today's market and production realities.Key topics discussedWhy asking if a novel host will "replace CHO" is the wrong question for scientists and manufacturers (00:11)Critical dimensions to evaluate: cost structure, speed, and intrinsic product quality (01:20)Review of five alternative platforms with current clinical and regulatory status: Plant farming for speed and decentralization (03:42)Insect cells for VLPs and complex proteins (05:00)Cell-free protein synthesis for ADCs and unique conjugation requirements (06:23)Moss for monoclonal antibodies with distinct glycosylation patterns (07:50)Filamentous fungi for high secretion and thermotolerance (08:47)A practical host selection framework by molecule type and manufacturing context (09:59)Detailed constraints and advantages of each platform, including cost, infrastructure, timeline, and product attributes (10:09)Analysis of silkworm production as a disruptive possibility for future biologics manufacturing (13:09)The evolving toolkit available to bioprocess scientists—and why "CHO replacement" is a distraction from more relevant questions (12:06)Smart insight:The real development over the past decade is that bioprocess scientists now have a credible, validated toolkit of alternatives for specific molecules in specific contexts.

I recently sat down with Steve Chen on his Boldin Your Money podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about evidence-based investing — and why it matters more than ever in a world of speculation, hype, and constant financial noise. We covered my early days as a stockbroker in the 1960s, the psychology that trips investors up in downturns, how low-cost index funds transformed personal finance, factor investing and small-cap value, and why younger investors are being pulled toward gambling-like behavior through apps, crypto, and prediction markets. Whether you're just starting out or planning for retirement, I think you'll find it time well spent.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED• The difference between investing and speculation• Why staying the course is emotionally difficult• Wall Street incentives and investor behavior• The origins of index fund investing• Factor investing and small-cap value explained• Why diversification matters long term• Rebalancing strategies and portfolio management• Financial literacy and generational investing habits• Why gambling behavior is becoming normalized• How AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are changing education• The psychology behind successful long-term investorsTIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction02:55 Paul Merriman's start in investing05:20 Wall Street incentives and conflicts of interest08:35 Why investing is harder than it looks12:25 Investing vs speculation15:40 Why people panic during market crashes17:30 The psychology of staying the course19:10 Generational wealth and financial literacy23:40 The case for index funds28:45 Factor investing explained32:30 The four-fund portfolio strategy36:00 Rebalancing and long-term returns38:00 ChatGPT, Claude, and financial education42:15 Market valuations and investor behavior45:30 Building wealth intentionally49:00 Gambling culture and modern investing51:45 Teaching financial literacy to younger generations54:00 Final thoughts on long-term investingRESOURCES MENTIONEDPaul Merriman Foundation: https://www.paulmerriman.com/Try the Boldin Planner for free: https://go.boldin.com/podcasttep110Watch Video here- https://youtu.be/y_i5wrr_tfM

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?

Medical surveillance creates dependency and aging is pathologized—Alan and Pam reveal how overtesting and overtreatment erode resilience. #AgingWithAgency #Overmedicalization #HealthFreedom #HealthTalks

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

Paul Merriman — nationally recognized authority on index investing and one of the most trusted voices in evidence-based investing — joins Steve Chen to share what nearly six decades in financial services taught him about how the industry really works. Paul opens up about why he walked away from Wall Street in his 20s, how he accidentally built a $1.6 billion advisory firm, and why he gave it all up to focus on financial education. He breaks down the simple investing framework he's spent his career refining, makes the case for going beyond the S&P 500, and explains why the most powerful portfolio move most investors never make might also be the simplest.

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).
