In this conversation, Dr. Marc Smith shares his journey from hedge fund trading in New York's financial district to building an integrated ketamine psychiatry practice in California. After three years in finance doing trading and sales, Dr. Smith made the bold decision to completely pivot his career toward medicine, driven by a desire for purpose and meaning that his financial career couldn't provide.Dr. Smith's path took him through Columbia University for medical school, followed by psychiatry residency at USC, where he discovered his passion for interventional treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy. His unique perspective, having worked in both profit-maximizing finance and purpose-driven healthcare, provides valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining ethical medical practice in an increasingly commercialized healthcare environment.Dr. Smith's practice, Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry, represents an integrated model where he personally handles psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine treatment administration, and post-treatment integration sessions.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Career transition insights - How Dr. Smith navigated the complete pivot from finance to medicine, including the challenges and rewards of choosing purpose over profit in healthcare· Mental health crisis analysis - Dr. Smith's perspective on factors contributing to rising depression, anxiety, and suicide rates, including social isolation, technology impacts, and healthcare access barriers· Treatment-resistant depression understanding - Why 30% of patients don't respond to traditional antidepressants and how ketamine offers a different mechanism through NMDA receptor antagonism and neuroplasticity induction· Integrated practice model - Dr. Smith's unique approach combining psychiatric evaluation, preparation therapy, ketamine administration, and integration sessions all under one provider rather than outsourcing components· Intentions versus goals framework - How to help patients set internal emotional states they're striving for (intentions) alongside specific, measurable functional outcomes (SMART goals) for comprehensive treatment planning· Ketamine as catalyst concept - Understanding how ketamine works like "jumpstarting a car" to improve mood and motivation, while ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes provide the maintenance needed for sustained improvement· Ethical practice building - Dr. Smith's mission to combat ketamine stigma through evidence-based protocols while addressing concerns about recreational associations and inappropriate use in the field· Private practice autonomy benefits - How owning your own practice allows values-driven decisions that may conflict with profit maximization, contrasting with private equity-driven healthcare models· Business building practical advice - The importance of talking to other practice owners, understanding it's a marathon not a sprint, and knowing your limitations to outsource effectively· Biopsychosocial treatment approach - Addressing biological, psychological, and social elements of mental health through medications, therapy, exercise, sleep, nutrition, social connection, and nature exposureEpisode 58 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: Profit vs. Purpose in Healthcare 00:00:35 - Episode Introduction00:02:03 - Dr. Smith's Background: From East Coast to Medicine 00:02:30 - Career Transition: Three Years in Financial Industry 00:04:12 - Discovering Psychiatry Through Clinical Rotations 00:05:32 - Why Psychiatry: Deep Relationships and Human Connection00:08:50 - Tools in the Toolbox: TMS, Ketamine, and Treatment Options 00:09:30 - The Leap: Stepping Away from Finance Success 00:11:17 - The Marble Metaphor: Chiseling Away What We Aren't 00:12:46 - Self-Actualization and Gratitude in Medicine 00:14:01 - USC Residency and Academic Reception of Ketamine 00:16:54 - Evidence-Based Medicine and the Slow Pace of Change 00:19:17 - Mental Health Crisis: Social Isolation and Technology 00:22:50 - The Invisible Nature of Mental Health Challenges 00:25:28 - Private Equity vs. Patient Care: The Business Tension 00:30:18 - Private Practice Autonomy and Values-Based Decisions 00:32:15 - Clear Ketamine + Psychiatry: The Integrated Model 00:36:11 - Treatment Protocol: Six Sessions with Therapy Integration 00:37:56 - Ketamine as Jumpstart: The Car Analogy 00:42:00 - Intentions vs. Goals: Internal States and SMART Outcomes 00:46:30 - Ethical Standards and Combating Ketamine Stigma 00:50:15 - Practice Building Advice: Talk to Other Providers 00:52:55 - Rapid Fire Questions: Book Recommendation 00:54:52 - Last Meal 00:55:52 - Pickleball Obsession and the Philosophy of the Game 00:56:50 - Time Travel00:58:46 - Alternative Career01:00:04 - Advice to 20-Year-Old Self01:01:53 - Contact Information and Practice Details 01:03:03 - Final Thoughts: Gratitude and Evidence-Based Care 01:04:20 - Ending and ResourcesThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Marc Smith at:Website: https://www.clearketapsych.comInstagram: @clearketapsych, @marcsmithmdLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marcsmithmdGoogle Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GCHVy8q183c7WvfLA

In this episode of Better Edge, Elnur Babayev, MD, MS, physician scientist and reproductive endocrinologist, discusses a complex case involving diminished ovarian reserve, advanced reproductive age and complications following intra ovarian platelet rich plasma (PRP). Using this case as a lens, he examines the evidence gaps, safety concerns and opportunity costs associated with commercially marketed, unproven fertility interventions. The conversation highlights common misconceptions about ovarian “rejuvenation,” the limitations of ovarian reserve testing, and practical guidance for counseling, referral, and informed consent in caring for patients navigating reproductive aging.

Older adults consist of approximately half of the patients in the ICU, with that number expected to grow in the coming decades. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Marilyn N. Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, is joined by Bram Rochwerg, MD, MSc(Epi), FRCPC, FCCM, and Lauren E. Ferrante, MD, MHS, to discusses new guidelines on caring for older adults in the ICU and the difficulties in finding research that focuses on those patients. The guidelines, “Society of Critical Care Medicine Guidelines on Caring for Older Adults in the ICU,” will be published in an upcoming issue of Critical Care Medicine. The panel details the process and methodology behind the guidelines, the dearth of studies focusing on older patients in the ICU, and the difficulty of finding studies that enroll older adults who are on multiple medications. The guidelines offer two conditional recommendations and offer priorities for aging-friendly research topics to help provide stronger guidance in the future. Bram Rochwerg, MD, MSc(Epi), FRCPC, FCCM, is an associate professor, intensivist, and researcher based at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, who focuses on intravenous fluid use in sepsis, the role of corticosteroids in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, and clinical practice guideline methodology. Lauren E. Ferrante, MD, MHS, is an associate professor of medicine in the section of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at the Yale School of Medicine; director of the operations core of the Yale Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center; and an attending physician in the medical intensive care unit at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.

“Bioidentical.” “Compounded.” “Customized for you.”These terms are everywhere in menopause care but what do they actually mean?In this episode, we sit down with pharmacist, Dr. Hollie Wakelyn, PharmD, BCACP, MSCP, who shares her deep expertise in hormone therapy to separate fact from fiction. We dive into the real differences between approved hormones and compounded products, why so many women are being steered toward them, and what most people aren't being told about safety, regulation, and outcomes.--

What if the people case-managing your care had a financial reason to keep you sicker? That's the uncomfortable question Scott Middleton puts on the table in this episode — recorded live from the American Case Managers Conference in Orlando, where Scott went to learn, and ended up being told Your Health didn't "fit" because they weren't a hospital. Jamie and Scott unpack what the nurse case manager role actually looks like at Your Health — and why moving case management out of hospitals and into patients' homes isn't just better care, it's better economics. Scott shares the research proving the model works: 50% reduction in Medicare spend when patients are seen at the right frequency by the right people. In this episode: Why hospitalists may be "the demise of the American healthcare system" The difference between nurse practitioners (diagnose and treat) and nurse case managers (assess and guide) — and why blurring them costs patients The 16.05-visits-per-risk-point model David Clemens' research validated How coding departments are quietly diagnosing patients with diseases they don't have Why Medicare's 6-year insolvency window may be the disruption we need Head-to-toe assessments, delegation rights, and the real job of an RN in the home If you've ever suspected the system is working exactly as designed — just not for the patient — press play. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Deconstructing Comp, what was intended to be a conversation about when substance use is considered industrial… turned into a much deeper exploration of how, and why, care in workers' compensation often breaks down.Yvonne and Rafael talk to Dr. Tomer Anbar and Dr. Ramsey Ali and enjoy a powerful, layered conversation that challenges how we think about care in workers' compensation.Dr. Anbar takes us back to the origins of the workers' compensation system: why it was created, how it was structured, and where the “architecture of care” has started to break down over time. He reframes workers' compensation not just as a set of rules and processes, but as a living ecosystem that requires alignment between medical care, human behavior, and system design.A central theme emerges throughout the conversation: we need to stop chasing a diagnosis! Dr. Anbar says, “At some point, we have to stop chasing the diagnosis and start treating the human in front of us.” Anbar suggests that instead of focusing solely on labeling conditions, we should shift toward a better understanding of function, behavior, and the full biopsychosocial picture driving recovery, or the lack of it.Dr. Ali builds on this foundation with a deep dive into PTSD and substance use disorders (SUD) in the workers' compensation setting; two conditions that are often misunderstood, underdiagnosed, or treated in isolation. Dr. Anbar explains how this contributes to disability and unnecessary epidemics. Together, they explore how these conditions intersect, how delayed recovery takes hold, and why fragmented care models often miss what matters most.Dr. Anbar also introduces the concept of psychoneuroimmunology, highlighting the connection between the mind, nervous system, and immune response, and reinforcing the idea that recovery is complex, dynamic, and deeply human.This episode invites listeners to think differently about causation, complexity, and the human experience behind every claim, and challenges the industry to move beyond diagnosis-driven thinking toward a more integrated, evidence-based, and human-centered approach.Dr. Anbar references a recent article in PRIMA Public Risk Magazine titled, How Risk and Claims Leadership Are Reversing the PTSD and Disability Crisis Among First Responders.Yvonne mentions a recent Institutes of Health webinar titled When Substance Use is Industrial. ¡Muchas Gracias!

In this episode of The Bari Chronicles, Damo and Tash unpack a confronting and deeply unsettling healthcare experience that many people living in larger bodies know all too well.What should have been a simple GP appointment to update a referral for revision surgery became a stark example of how personal bias can override evidence-based care. Tash shares what it was like to sit in front of a medical professional who openly opposed bariatric surgery, dismissed lived experience, and relied on opinion rather than data — and how different that interaction could have been if she were less informed, less confident, or earlier in her journey.This conversation is not about attacking individual doctors or discrediting medicine. It is about what happens when personal belief collides with patient-centred care, and the emotional toll that takes on people who cannot “unring the bell” of past treatment decisions.Together, Damo and Tash discuss:Medical bias and moral judgement in healthcare settingsThe difference between opinion and evidence-based practiceWhy advocacy matters, especially when power dynamics are at playRed flags to watch for when building a healthcare teamWhat respectful, collaborative care actually looks likeContent note: This episode discusses negative healthcare experiences and may be challenging for some listeners. You are welcome to listen at your own pace.If you have ever left an appointment feeling dismissed, judged, or unheard, this episode will resonate. You are not alone — and your care deserves to be grounded in evidence, respect, and humanity.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker dives into the evidence-practice gap, the disconnect between what research tells us is best during childbirth and what is actually happening in labor and delivery units around the world. She walks through the latest statistics on Cesarean rates, VBAC access, and the widespread use of non–evidence-based interventions, as well as the persistent underuse of practices proven to improve outcomes, like doulas, midwifery care, and birthing positions that support physiologic labor.   Dr. Dekker also unpacks the systemic forces driving these gaps, including the role of paternalism, hierarchical power structures in healthcare, legal pressures, and the phenomenon of horizontal violence among healthcare workers. She explores how overlapping forms of oppression shape the experiences of both patients and providers.   (02:40) Why research takes so long to become routine care (03:42) A look at U.S. cesarean rates and what's driving them (05:38) The rise and fall of VBAC access and why families struggle to get support (08:01) The "bait and switch" problem in maternity care (09:34) Interventions that are overused vs. underused during labor (11:47) How paternalism and medical hierarchy fuel the evidence gap (16:39) Horizontal violence among nurses, midwives, and doulas (19:11) Trauma and burnout across the maternity care workforce (23:04) Real signs of progress and positive change in birth settings   Resources EBB 1 - Intro to Evidence Based Birth EBB 2 – What is Evidence Based Care?

Evidence based care is a term you hear often in medicine, but what does it really mean—especially when it comes to pregnancy and birth? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker takes you inside the foundations of Evidence Based Birth®, explaining what evidence based care is (and isn't), and why it matters for families, providers, and communities.   Dr. Dekker breaks down the three essential pillars of evidence based care: the best available research, the provider's expertise, and the birthing person's values and preferences. She explores how care can drift away from this model when decisions are based solely on tradition, authority, or convenience rather than the evidence. Along the way, hear how families can use this knowledge to navigate common hospital policies and advocate for care that truly centers their needs.   (02:12) Outdated practices and the rise of evidence based medicine (05:00) Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole, and whose knowledge counts (08:05) The three pillars of evidence based care: research, expertise, and patient values (10:50) Understanding levels of evidence: from systematic reviews to case reports (19:30) Why clinical expertise and trusted providers matter in applying research (22:10) The role of patient values, preferences, and underlying biases (27:10) What evidence based care is, and what it is not   For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Have you ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling unheard, unseen, or told everything was 'normal'—even though you knew something was off? You're not alone.In this powerful episode, we're pulling back the curtain on medical gaslighting—the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left without real answers when it comes to their health.We also break down what evidence-based care really means—and how it often gets used as a shield for lazy medicine that doesn't serve women in perimenopause, postpartum, or even during puberty.We cover:- The most common forms of medical gaslighting (and why they're so damaging)- What “evidence-based” care should mean vs. how it's misused- Why so many women are told “everything looks fine” when their hormones are clearly not- How to advocate for yourself when you're not being taken seriously- Why your lived experience is data—and deserves to be part of your care planThis is an episode for every woman who has ever been brushed off, labeled as “dramatic,” or told to “just wait it out.” Your voice matters. Your symptoms matter. And it's time we stop settling for surface-level care that ignores the bigger picture.

Emily Salahuddin set out to have an unmedicated birth at a birth center, but trying to remain within the risk boundaries of that facility turned into an all-consuming mind game, bringing with it an onslaught of non-medical interventions. Ironically, it was after being transferred to the hospital that she was able to have a more hands-off experience… until the baby was born. She shares with Adriana how it was then that she and her husband had to lean into their advocacy skills to minimize unnecessary interventions for both her and her baby.Sponsor offers - TIME SENSITIVE! NEEDED - Get 20% off at ThisIsNeeded.com with code BIRTHFULHONEYLOVE - Get 20% off at HoneyLove.com/Birthful FAMILYALBUM APP - Check out FamilyAlbum at family-album.comAQUATRU - Get 20% off at AquaTru.com with code BIRTHFULARTIFACT UPRISING - Get up to 20% off at ArtifactUprising.com with code BIRTHFUL through December 31.Get the most out of this episode by checking out the resources, transcript, and links on its show notes page.  If you liked this episode, listen to our interview on The Problem with Due Dates and our episode on Evidence-Based Care, Castor Oil and More.You can connect with Birthful @BirthfulPodcast on Instagram or email us at podcast@Birthful.com. If you enjoy what you hear, download Birthful's Postpartum Plan FREE when you sign up for our weekly newsletter!

As new parents or parents-to-be, we can spend hours going down rabbit holes trying to find the best information to support our birthing and parenting decisions. In a lot of instances, the articles people see online talking about controversial issues are heavily slanted towards the author's own views and not necessarily backed by evidence. While most of what I talk about is related to what I've seen in the trenches working with families over the past 20 years, I am a strong believer in passing evidence-based information to parents to inform decisions.  My special guest today, Dr. Rebecca Dekker, became fed up with how the system treats birthing families. She is now working hard to take the stress out of research and make science sexy for parents and birth workers alike! She is the founder of Evidence Based Birth®, and has made it her mission to ensure all birthing families have access to safe, respectful, evidence-based, and empowering care.  Join our conversation now to hear her evidence-based insights into two controversial birthing topics.

Welcome back beautiful mama to another episode of the Nurture Hub Podcast. In this episode, we invite Melissa Hays from Cocoon & Cradle to share with us some insight into a holistic approach to Sleep. Melissa is a Gold Coast-based Midwife, Lactation Consultant and Sleep Specialist who provides services for mums & mums-to-be who want holistic and evidence-based breastfeeding, sleep and early parenting support. As you may have guessed, Cocoon & Cradle is not your average early parenting support service. Most consultants have training in only one area; lactation or sleep. Whereas Melissa is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and holistic sleep coach, in addition to 10+ years of experience as a paediatric nurse and midwife. This is how she is able to offer truly holistic care. By pulling together all the pieces of the puzzle from feeding, sleep and development, Melissa is able to identify the root cause of the issue and work together with you to come up with a creative solution. On top of her professional experience, She is also a mum to two very energetic but beautiful toddlers. So believe her when she says, She gets what it's like for new mamas. Melissa launched Cocoon & Cradle in 2020 because she felt there was not enough support and too much confusing and conflicting information regarding early parenthood. To be honest, She was sick of seeing incorrect and sometimes harmful advice being given out to unknowing mums and mums-to-be. Why? Because you deserve better. Since launching she has been able to support hundreds of mums all while focusing on responsive feeding and parenting, and biologically normal sleep.

Dr. Centor discusses the diagnosis and management of diverticulitis with Dr. Lisa Strate.

In this episode of the Caring Greatly™ podcast, Dr. DeRienzo and I discuss his new orientation to the “why” behind care transformation. Like most quality improvement leaders, Dr. DeRienzo's focus has long been on the triple aim of improved care quality, reduced cost, and improved experience. But the work he's focusing on now is creating energy and opportunity for a greater focus on health equity, necessary variability, and humanity. Care transformation, then, becomes less about productivity and standardization as a primary aim, and more about allowing clinicians to practice at the top of their humanity and their license in a way that is fulfilling and meaningful – which is also very likely to boost productivity and practice resilience over the long run.

“What we've got to do is look at what is the impact of having a wound infection, or a surgical site infection, on the patient, on the doctor and the healthcare professionals, as well as the economic burden within the NHS.”As somebody who has become highly knowledgeable on these what these impacts of a surgical site infection (SSI) are, it is why Giles Bond-Smith is so passionate around improving the processes and attention paid to it within the NHS.The Emergency General/HPB surgeon at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust joined host Matt Roberts on NHE's Finger on the Pulse podcast discussing some of the challenges commonly faced around this type of infection prevention, but also the opportunities to innovate as well.“We should be doing everything possible to look at how we can mitigate surgical site infections for our patients.“Typically, as surgeons, we don't really pay much attention to our wounds, but the patients do. How does a patient judge whether an operation went well or not? They look down at their wound; they see how big it was.“If the wound is less in size than the wound is in their mind, they think we've done well. If the wound heals beautiful, people show it and say the operation went very well.“Whereas, if someone's had a complete wound dehiscence due to infection, they feel the operation was a disaster. Now, it might not have been, but that's how the patient perceives it, and we've got to take this more seriously.”But how do we tackle surgical site infections and ensure the wounds can heal neatly, safely and quickly for the patient?One of the ways, as Giles explains during the podcast episode, is to look at some of the really simple but innovative technology out there – such as the antibacterial Ethicon PLUS sutures he and his team uses – as ways to improve patient outcomes without having to drastically alter the way in which these surgeries are performed.Much of the success instead can come from small, incremental gains in the procedures, awareness and tools being utilised by surgeons.Listen to Ep 24. of NHE's Finger on the Pulse podcast with Giles Bond-Smith

On today's episode we sit down with Georgia Noonan, a Registered Labor & Delivery Nurse and soon to be Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, to discuss becoming parents as LGBTIQ individuals, ways to advocate for yourself and your family amidst a broken healthcare system, navigating ART (assisted reproductive technology) and finding the right practitioner for you, as well as an often overlooked yet common condition that plays an important role in fertility. Georgia is a soon-to-be Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with under four weeks remaining in her graduate program at Frontier Nursing University. Originally on track to be a certified nurse midwife, Georgia is incredibly passionate about all things pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum. She is an advocate for birth justice and empowerment and helping birthing individuals achieve their birth outcomes and avoid the obstetrical violence and trauma she witnessed firsthand as a labor and delivery nurse for six years before returning to grad school to more actively implement the birth and women's healthcare revolution our nation demands. As a queer woman herself, she is both personally and professionally motivated to work with LGBTIQ individuals after graduation and address the rampant health disparities her community faces. The provision of Evidence Based Care and Information is of paramount importance to her and she recently became part of the Evidence Based Birth® instructor and childbirth educator team. In April, she launched her platform Birthing Beings to help connect and provide all of these services and more to clients in need.You can also find Georgia on LUNA Mother Co's platform teaching our Childbirth Education Course as well as our Preparing For Postpartum Series.

Author: Rachel Brady, MD Educational Pearls: Elderly patients (>65 years old) have a higher trauma mortality compared to younger patients, even though they have lower mechanisms of injury  Elder trauma is often under-triaged due to low-energy mechanisms and lack of physiologic response due to age and medications such as beta-blockers. Do not be reassured by normal vital signs.  Image elderly patients with head injury aggressively since they are at high risk of intracranial bleeds Be sure to ask about anticoagulation use. Up to 15% of asymptomatic head injury patients  on warfarin will have intracranial bleeds on CT.  Be on the lookout for unstable C-spine injuries such as type II odontoid fractures Central cord syndrome is a possibility with any neck extension injury Rib fractures are common, with mortality increasing greatly with more than 2 ribs involved The elderly are more prone to musculoskeletal injuries due to loss of bone density Always discuss goals of care with these patients  References Rathlev NK, Medzon R, Lowery D, Pollack C, Bracken M, Barest G, Wolfson AB, Hoffman JR, Mower WR.

In this episode, I interview Carissa Hipsher, a parent who was pressured into a cesarean for breech positioning. Carissa lives with her husband and three month old baby in Columbus, Ohio, and is working on obtaining her PhD in environmental science. She had a surprise breech positioning at the end of her pregnancy, and was pressured into a cesarean very quickly. After that experience, she decided to become more involved in examining the evidence on breech positioning and its different delivery options, as well as advocating for pregnant families’ rights. After compiling the evidence on breech delivery and asking to present it to her hospital management to help future families have more choices in birth, Carissa received little response. Now she is working on getting a modified version of the letter she sent to the hospital published in a national obstetrics journal. She is also focusing on processing her birth, including talking to other women who had unplanned c-sections. Find our more about the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) here.

of the 6.3 million children under the age of five who died in 2013, 44% (2.761 million) were neonates (defined as age 0-28 days). Over the past decade, neonatal mortality decreased at an annual rate of 2.9% compared to 4.9% in children aged 1-59 months. This smaller reduction in under-five mortality (U5M) among neonates is a significant contributor to the worldwide failure to achieve Millennium Developmental Goal 4 this year. Reducing global neonatal mortality through prevention and treatment programs in low-to-middle-income countries (LMIC), where nearly all U5M occurs, is a high priority among global child survival agendas.
