Podcasts about evidence based medicine

Professor Jon Jureidini is a child psychiatrist who leads the Critical and Ethical Mental Health research group at Adelaide University in Australia. His forensic deconstruction of industry-sponsored clinical trials has exposed how pharmaceutical companies manipulate data, employ ghostwriters, and cultivate academic figureheads to create an illusion of scientific consensus around their products. Prof. Jureidini has revealed how medications prescribed to our most vulnerable populations—children and adolescents—gained approval based on studies that were fundamentally misrepresented in the scientific literature. In his groundbreaking book, 'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research,' co-authored with Leemon McHenry, he systematically demonstrates how commercial interests have hijacked the evidence base that clinicians rely on, compromising patient care in the process. His work raises profound questions about the integrity of published research and challenges us to reconsider the foundations of modern medicine. Jureidini reveals shocking findings about the landmark 'Treatment of Adolescent Depression Study (TADS) study that's been used to justify prescribing antidepressants to teenagers—despite evidence showing a five-fold increase in suicidal events. With nearly 20% of adolescent girls now taking SSRIs, this conversation exposes the profit-driven deception that puts millions of developing brains at risk while pharmaceutical companies continue to thrive on what Jureidini calls "the illusion of evidence-based medicineChapters00:00 Introduction to the Crisis in Psychiatry02:20 The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine04:34 The TADS Study: A Closer Look10:47 Evaluating the TADS Study's Findings14:22 The Ethics of Informed Consent26:28 Risks and Alternatives in Treatment32:59 The Controversy of Antidepressant Prescriptions35:46 Ethical Concerns in Pharmaceutical Practices40:29 The Impact of Clinical Trials on Drug Approval47:08 Challenges in Psychiatric Research and Publication50:29 Restoring Trust in Scientific Integrity58:20 A Shift Towards Social Determinants of Mental Health RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here—-----------FREE DOWNLOAD!

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Larry Palevsky shares his journey from pediatric emergency medicine to a root cause–based approach to healing. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, he explores why suppressing symptoms may interfere with true recovery, and how restoring parasympathetic balance, optimizing nutrition, and reducing environmental inputs can transform both acute and chronic illness—especially in children. Whether you're a practitioner, a parent, or simply someone questioning the conventional medical model, this conversation invites a deeper understanding of what healing really looks like. Join us as we delve into: • Why acute symptoms may actually be signs of healing—not disease • The role of parasympathetic dominance in recovery and health • Root cause approaches to pediatric asthma, eczema, and infections • What the Flexner Report did to Western medicine—and what we lost This episode is for you if: • You're curious about healing beyond pharmaceutical protocols • You've felt frustrated by conventional approaches to chronic illness • You want to better understand your child's symptoms and immune responses • You're exploring functional or integrative pediatric care You can also find this episode on:YouTube: https://youtu.be/0WXesBNZjeg Find more from Dr. Larry Palevsky: Website: https://drpalevsky.com Northport Wellness Center: https://northportwellnesscenter.com/practitioner/lawrence-palevsky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.palevsky/ Find more from Smarter Not Harder: Website: https://troscriptions.com/blogs/podcast | https://homehope.org Instagram: @troscriptions | @homehopeorg Get 10% Off your purchase of the Metabolomics Module by using PODCAST10 at https://www.homehope.org Get 10% Off your Troscriptions purchase by using POD10 at https://www.troscriptions.com Get daily content from the hosts of Smarter Not Harder by following @troscriptions on Instagram.

Not all medical research is created equal, so how do we know which studies to trust?The phrase evidence-based medicine (EBM) is often misunderstood and misused. What does it truly mean to rely on evidence in clinical decision-making?Dr. Gordon Guyatt, the father of the term evidence-based medicine, explains how to assess scientific studies, understand the strength of different types of evidence, and apply findings to clinical decisions.Want to make better-informed health decisions? This interview will help you learn how to critically assess medical evidence for yourself. In this conversation, Dr. Guyatt breaks down:✅ Why some studies are more trustworthy than others✅ The limitations of observational studies in nutrition and medicine✅ How the GRADE framework categorizes evidence from high to low certainty✅ How to critically assess nutrition and mental health research✅ The importance of patient values in clinical decision-makingAs new chronic disease treatments emerge from rapidly evolving research, understanding the quality of evidence is more important than ever. The ability to distinguish robust data from weak correlations isn't just a skill—it's essential for making informed, effective decisions in patient care.#MetabolicMind #EvidenceBasedMedicine #MedicalResearch #NutritionScience #GRADEMethod #HealthDecisionsExpert Featured:Dr. Gordon Guyatt, MDResources Mentioned:Core GRADE WorkshopCMEs Mentioned:Managing Major Mental Illness with Dietary Change: The New Science of Hopehttps://www.mycme.com/courses/managing-major-mental-illness-with-dietary-change-9616Brain Energy: The Metabolic Theory of Mental Illnesshttps://www.mycme.com/courses/brain-energy-the-metabolic-theory-of-mental-illness-9615Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) are frequently used off label for the management of factor Xa inhibitor-associated major bleeding. In 2018, accelerated approval was granted for andexanet alfa, a specific factor Xa inhibitor reversal agent, for reversal of apixaban and rivaroxaban in the setting of life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. Following accelerated approval, some clinical practice guidelines were updated to include recommendations for andexanet alfa preferentially over PCCs for reversal of life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding due to rivaroxaban or apixaban. Other guidelines stated no preference of andexanet alfa over PCC. In 2020, Vizient convened an expert panel to critically appraise the literature and provide consensus-based, expert opinions on the utilization of pharmacological reversal agents for factor Xa-related major bleeding. Since then, the body of literature evaluating these agents has expanded to include a randomized controlled trial, ANNEXa-I, the results of which were submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration to convert the approval of andexanet alfa from accelerated to full approval. Dr. Lisa Baumann-Kreuziger, Associate Professor of Hematology and Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin and medical director of the Antithrombotic Therapy Management Program at Froedtert Health discusses the current status of management of factor Xa inhibitor-associated major bleeding with Dr. Kerry Schwarz, Senior Clinical Manager of Evidence-Based Medicine and Outcomes with the Vizient Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence, and your program host.   Guest speakers:  Liza Baumann-Kreuziger, MD, MS Investigator, Blood Research Institute, Versiti  Associate Professor of Hematology and Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin Medical Director, Antithrombotic Therapy Management Program at Froedtert Health   Host:  Kerry Schwarz, Pharm.D, MPH Senior Clinical Manager of Evidence-Based Medicine and Outcomes  Vizient Center for Pharmacy Practice Excellence   Show Notes: [02:25-04:26] The current state of hemostatic management in the setting of factor Xa inhibitor-related major bleeding [04:27- 05:35] Limitations of available evidence making clinical practice and formulary decision making so challenging [05:35 – 10:52] Publication of the first randomized controlled trial, ANNEXa-I, comparing andexanet alfa to usual care [10:52-14:49] Meeting of the FDA advisory committee and subsequent complete response letter [14:50-16:45] How we can approach clinical management of patients and formulary decision-making in the current state   Subscribe Today!

Refractory hypoxemia in the intubated patient is one of the scariest situations any emergency physician can face. In this episode of EMRA*Cast, Drs. Peter Lorenz and Steven Haywood discuss a stepwise approach to managing this worst-case scenario.

In this episode I look at Functional Medicine, a movement which started in the USA and is practised predominantly by non-medical practitioners but also increasingly medical doctors. It comes under a lot of fire from doctors and I want to explore why this, including that is isn't ‘medicine' and what the differences and similarities are between functional medicine and conventional allopathic medicine.Links:Intro to functional medicine by IFM: https://www.ifm.org/functional-medicineA review of functional medicine by Jeffrey Bland: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9173848/Methylation explained: https://www.healthline.com/health/methylation#takeawayMethylation, a view from a functional medicine practitioner: https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/2016/08/01/methylation-whats-fuss/The British College of Functional Medicine: https://www.bc-fm.org/Patient story from The Cleveland Clinic: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/patient-stories/196-functional-medicine-helps-woman-regain-her-life-after-44-years-of-chronic-painAn allopathic doctors view: https://www.doctormather.com/blog/redflagsLimitations of Evidence Based Medicine: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109716331370 Evidence Based Medicine: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/11/e067268 Hosted on Acast.

Read the full transcript here. How were decisions made about which treatments to trust before the advent of "evidence-based" medicine? How strong are biological arguments for or against various treatments? When did the Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) movement begin? How did the EBM movement overcome initial resistance among medical professionals? What resources do doctors have at their disposals to find up-to-date information about treatment efficacies? Why is the pharmaceutical industry allowed such influence over information about treatments? What is the GRADE approach to EBM? What does EBM have to say about the role of patient preferences and values? How bad is being overweight? What are "surrogate" or "substitute" outcomes? How rigorous is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)? How often do treatments suffer from a lack of high-quality evidence of an effect versus plenty of high-quality evidence of a lack of an effect? What's the state of evidence about the placebo effect? What are the most exciting current initiatives in EBM?Gordon Guyatt is a McMaster University Distinguished Professor. His work has focused on Evidence-Based Medicine and promoting high-quality healthcare without financial barriers for all Canadians. His Order of Canada citation acknowledges both contributions. He has been honored as a Canadian Institute of Health Research Researcher of the Year and a member of the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.

Our story so far.. episode 92 looked at a study showing lower survival from in-hospital cardiac arrest in patients treated with mechanical compression devices. Episode 93 discussed an implementation study of implementing LUCAS devices in a system with high quality pit crew CPR also showing lower survival, despite spending lots of time in training on how to optimally apply the LUCAS to avoid prolonged compression interruptions and movement. Now we're diving into the literature around AutoPulse, the load-distributing band device. We'll cover two randomized controlled trials and one well-done observational study comparing AutoPulse to manual CPR. Don't worry, LUCAS studies will be in the next episode.Citations1.

I have long followed the work of Dr. Margaret McCartney. She is a general practitioner in Glasgow, Scotland, writer, public speaker, and now PhD. She is a fierce advocate for evidence-based medicine. She holds highly skeptical views of screening for disease—which, to my surprise is quite common in the UK. Her recently finished PhD sought empirical evidence regarding declaration of conflicts of interest in the UK. Here is a link to the document. Screening for atrial fibrillation is a focus of this work. Here is a link to her PubMed listing. We had a nice conversation about all things evidence and conflicts. I learned a lot about the health system in the UK. As an added bonus, Dr. M is also an avid cyclist. As always, thank you for your support of Sensible Medicine.

 RFK Jr represents an existential crisis for evidence-based medicine if he is installed as Secretary of Health and Human Services.Link to your Senator's contact informationScript for calling your senators:Introduction:"Hi, my name is [     ], and I'm a [pediatric Emergency physician in Lexington KY]. I'm calling to talk about the potential appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services."State Your Position Clearly:"As a [pediatrician in Kentucky], I am alarmed by RFK Jr.'s well-documented history of spreading misinformation about vaccines, public health, and science-based medicine. His views are not just controversial or don't align with my political opinions—they are actually dangerous and threaten the health and safety of the people of [Kentucky]."Provide Specific Concerns:"For example:His vaccine skepticism undermines decades of public health progress. He has promised to dismantle critical programs within the CDC and NIH and wants to stop cancer and Alzheimer drug developmentHe blames school shootings on antidepressants. He denies that AIDS comes from the HIV virusHe wants to pull Fluoride out of the drinking water. Personal Connection:"I see the consequences of misinformation every day in my work. Parents hesitant to vaccinate their children and patients suffering because they were misled about treatments. We've seen more cases of pertussis this year than the last 7 to 10 years combined, and that's just going to get worse.  Allowing RFK Jr. to lead HHS would mean the fundamental dismantling of the healthcare system from within."Request Action:"I'm urging Senator [Paul] to oppose RFK Jr.'s nomination and to advocate for a leader who is committed to evidence-based medicine. This is not about politics—it's about protecting lives and the integrity of our healthcare system."Closing:"Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I hope the senator will stand with healthcare professionals like me in opposing this dangerous nomination. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss this further—I'm happy to provide more perspective as someone who works in the field."***********If you have any feedback, show/interview recommendations, or want to collaborate on the show, please reach out!Email: Tama.TheMDM@gmail.comInstagram: TheMDM.podcastTwitter: theMDMpodcast***********Host: Tama Thé | Pediatric Emergency MedicineProducer: Melissa Puffenbarger | Pediatric Emergency MedicineCommunications Director: Katrianna Urrea | MD Candidate

We've reviewed several papers in the past that suggest there might be an advantage to using IV access compared to IO access for medications in cardiac arrest. Is that really a thing? Wouldn't it be great if we had some randomized controlled trials to help answer the questions?  Funny you should mention RCTs. Dr Jarvis reviews three (THREE!) new RCTs that compare IV to IO access in out of hospital cardiac arrest to try to shed some of that bright light of science on this question!Citations:1.

Despite focusing on his shoulder, it turns out the root of his problem lay elsewhere—his elbow. Is that surprising? It was in his injury history. Do not discount the power of an old injury that could come back and haunt you. And think about the load on the elbow when you're doing a push or pull-up.

So, I had a chance to read Dr. Marty Makary's new book, which is called Blind Spots; and here's why I wanted to get him to come back on Relentless Health Value and talk to you, people of the healthcare industry. It's because of something that he said on page 127 and which I've been mulling over for probably years, actually. To Read The Full Article Including Links Mentioned, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. It's this idea of what is appropriate care and how good are we at ensuring that patients/members get said appropriate care. Lots of people are of the same minds because appropriate care has come up in the show with Ben Schwartz, MD, MBA (EP434); John Lee, MD (EP438); Spencer Dorn, MD, MPH, MHA (EP446); Tom Lee, MD (EP445).  I mean, an estimated 21% of all medical care is potentially unnecessary. And unnecessary is, of course, one category of things that are not appropriate. This is according to a national survey of physicians: 25% of diagnostic tests, 22% of all medications, and 11% of all procedures are unnecessary/inappropriate. This is billions of wasted dollars doing stuff that shouldn't be done, and it's not appropriate care. But think about this: How many visions for how to fix healthcare and how to reduce waste depend upon a broad-stroke assumption that we will materially ensure that patients are getting best-practice (ie, appropriate) care? That we cut down on over-medicalization and surgeries on the back end and add appropriate preventative stuff and optimal medical therapy to the front end? Dr. Makary and I delve into the challenges of ensuring patients receive appropriate care, touching on medical dogma, financial, business, and legal incentives, and the importance of measuring practice patterns. Dr. Makary provides practical advice for clinical leaders, payers, and plan sponsors on promoting transparency, improving health literacy, and steering members towards higher performing providers.

In this episode, Erica discusses the why behind shoulder problems, comparing the unique challenges faced by tennis players and non-tennis players alike. She explains why traditional shoulder treatment often fails these types of patients. A significant relationship between the shoulder and another region of the body is often missed. Erica also tells the story of one of her patients who does play tennis and the reason why he can do a full pushup but can't lift his arm over his head.

What is the cause of bilateral calf pain in this young fencer? From start to finish, it shows the power of a thorough evaluation, a specific exercise progression, and a return to the sport she loves. When it comes to exercise progression in persistent pain, think about context. How can you improve optimal movement patterning by changing the context? Think about this one. You can intervene via the visual system, eyes open, eyes closed. How about changing their base of support? Wide to narrow. And why not have them do their exercises to their favorite music?

Significant variations in medical treatments, even within the same state, challenge the belief that medical care is primarily based on science. In this episode, Dr. Rita Redberg, a Professor of Medicine at UCSF Health, examines the belief that medical care is based primarily on science by discussing significant variations in treatment practices and advocating for evidence-based medicine. In her "Less is More" series in JAMA Internal Medicine, she aims to improve test readability and effectiveness. Throughout this interview, Dr. Redberg discusses the US Preventive Services Task Force's controversial mammography guidelines and the potential harms of over-testing, underscoring the importance of high-quality, unbiased evidence and rigorous FDA approval processes for new medical devices and drugs. She also addresses issues like unnecessary procedures motivated by fear of litigation or financial incentives and strongly calls for removing conflicts of interest from scientific trials and enhancing NIH funding to promote independent research.  Tune in and learn about the importance of evidence-based practices in health care and the steps needed to ensure safer, more effective patient care!

Delve into the realm of implementation science and its significance in bridging the gap between research-based evidence and critical care practice. Host Marilyn N. Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, is joined by Anne E. Sales, PhD, RN, to discuss the complexity of implementation science, which involves understanding human behavior change within organizational constraints. They explore examples such as hypertension treatment to illustrate the challenges and opportunities of implementing evidence-based practices. They discuss the importance of context, resources, and stakeholder engagement in successful implementation efforts in the critical care setting where complex interventions and rapid changes are common. Dr. Sales is a nurse and professor at the Sinclair School of Nursing and the Department of Family and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri, and associate dean for implementation research and health delivery effectiveness in the School of Medicine. She is a research scientist at the Center for Clinical Management Research at the VA Ann Arbor Health System in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

Golf is a sport of weight shifts and a narrow base of support. What happens when your knee can't adapt to an altered base of support? This is what exactly happened here with this case. This young golfer, in standing (and standing is VERY relevant for the golf swing) had an 80/20 load, R/L in this position. And it stayed that way throughout the golf swing. This begs the question: Did you know that right knee pain can be caused by an imbalance in your center of mass? If you continuously load your painful side, that has some serious implications for loading. Erica and Susan discuss in this episode how treating the left hip as well as the left side of the low back, got rid of this young golfer's knee pain. He needed options for movement to his left side. A functional and interactive evaluation really hones in on where the true source of his knee pain lies. Remember: for persistent, unsolved problems, correlate the patient's history with your objective assessment. Hint: this patient had a history of concussion. You think that would alter his BOS?   A glance at this episode: [0:01] Chronic knee pain in a junior golfer, analyzing the cause and treatment options [4:48] Golf injury treatment and diagnosis [12:19] Golf swing mechanics and potential issues with a young golfer [17:03] Assessing a 12-year-old golf player with knee pain using a thorough history and clinical reasoning [23:49] Using visual aids and manual therapy to help a golfer improve his swing by shifting weight to the left leg [31:33] Using mirror therapy for knee rehabilitation [39:25] Rehabilitating knee injuries via changing the center of mass [43:34] Rehabilitation program for golfers with variance in exercises to improve adaptability [47:36] Physical therapy for a young golfer with a focus on listening and meeting clients where they are   Related links: Tough To Treat Website Erica's Course: Decoding the Complex Patient Susan's Pelvic Health Education Subscription Access the Transcript

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a virus could talk? Well, wonder no more! Welcome to the latest episode of Join the Docs, where Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest dive deep into the world of measles, discussing everything from its sneaky cause to its easy-to-spot symptoms and tricky diagnosis because there are no specific treatments, one needs sound prevention strategies.But wait, there's more! The Docs are joined by the one and only Ruby, who isn't just any guest—she's the personification of the measles virus itself! Ruby Ola spills the beans on ‘her' mischievous behaviour and the havoc she mischievously  visits on unsuspecting hosts.Ever thought about the history of measles and how it has evolved over time? The conversation takes a trip down memory lane, highlighting the ancient origins of this pesky virus and the rollercoaster ride of outbreaks and epidemics. Ruby emphasises how misinformation is her best friend and how it keeps her in the spotlight. She reminds everyone that evidence-based medicine is her arch-nemesis and the key to keeping her at bay.Why is vaccination so crucial in the fight against measles? The Docs stress the critical role of those tiny but mighty vaccines in preventing the resurgence of this highly contagious, very nasty and potentially fatal disease. Having explained how the whole “vaccine hesitancy” mythology evolved, they emphasise the importance of getting vaccinated. Ruby admits that she hates Mr. Vaccine because he ruins all her fun… what a prick!Throughout the episode, Professor Sackier and Dr. Guest wince atRuby's gleeful tales of her "adventures" inside the human body. They shake their heads in disbelief at her joy causing rashes and fevers, and how she boasts about evading the immune system's defences. Ruby's playful banter and over-the-top villain persona provide a creepy black comic relief, making the serious topic of measles education, yet strangely entertaining!. The episode wraps up with a strong message: don't let measles crash your party—get vaccinated and keep her out of your life for good! Give it a shot, it might just save your life.—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Rachel Brown & Ally Houston. Rachel is a consultant psychiatrist and functional & metabolic practitioner, while Ally is a Metabolic mental health coach trained by PreKure and Dr Georgia Ede. Rachel and Ally both work as a coach in MetPsy, empowering people with mental illness to use proven diet and lifestyle techniques to heal themselves. They offer Coaching programs for your mental health, no matter where you are in the world.  Dr Rachel started her Atkins diet when a family friend introduced it. Over the year, Dr Rachel suffered from sugar addiction. This made her stray from a low-carb diet and instead go to more intuitive eating programs. Not just did it not help her with her addiction, but it left the worst experience for her to remember. Eventually, Dr Rachel managed to go back to a low-carb diet, keto, and more animal-based nutrition. Keto helps her restore her relationship with the foods.  Ally suffered from food addiction. Even though his mom cooks delicious and nutritious foods, he still eats cereals, causing the root of his food addiction. For some reason, his weight did not become a problem until he was in his late 20s when he realized his poor metabolic health. Because of his addiction, Ally had several autoimmune diseases. He goes through the conventional way of healing, which only worsens his disease. Ultimately, all of his autoimmune diseases were gone when he changed to a keto diet.  In this episode, Dr Rachel and Ally shared how mental health problems and gut microbiome are related. They also discuss the three primary reasons for you having a leaky gut. Furthermore, they discuss why you should not just believe in evidence-based medicine. And lastly, Ally and Dr Rachel discuss why it is best to do your research. Tune in as we chat about mental stress, gut microbiome health, evidence-based medicine, and research.

[18:49] How Are Mental Health Problems and the Gut Microbiome Connected? -       Gastrointestinal microorganisms are involved because they generate neurotransmitters and produce other metabolites that communicate, such as short-chain fatty acids. -       Interaction between a wheat, protein and Zonulin component opens up tight junctions, causing leaky gut in everyone, not just celiac disease patients. -       LPS can activate immunological resident immune cells in the brain known as microglia. And then, you start a self-perpetuating loop in which immune cells in the brain generate more inflammatory cytokines and free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation. -       Whatever happens in the gut occurs in the brain and vice versa. [23:51] 3 Lifestyle Behaviors That Cause Leaky Gut! -       Diet is the top cause of a leaky gut. -       We must be cautious of what we put into our body since it will come into contact with our gut lining and have various effects. -       Stress is the second reason you have a leaky gut because it increases intestinal permeability. -       Alcohol is the third leading cause. [26:04] How Mental Stress Creates Havoc Inside Your Gut Microbiome -       There is brain-to-gut signaling when taking in different sensory perceptions, such as watching or listening to negative news from various sources all the time. -       It's possible that stress is triggering our leaky gut. It's also possible that when stressed, we're compelled to eat in ways that aren't good for our gut. -       The tight junction system is also found in breastfeeding women, which is why casein is potentially such a massive concern for persons with autoimmune, gut difficulties, or with mental health issues. -       Information about the microbiome is still lacking. -       Managing gluten, stress, and dairy can help you have a healthy microbiome. [37:11] Do You Only Believe in Evidence-Based Medicine? Here's What You Need to Know  -       If we take the research literature as a whole, there's publication bias that comes with it. -       The vast majority of information on diet evidence is based on associational data that does not establish one thing or the other and is flawed due to confounding factors within the populations studied. -       Imagine discovering that the truth of a subject contradicts what your academic parent, someone you care about, disagrees with. This is the most serious conflict of interest in science. -       The notion that there is one science, one evidence-based medicine, is equally absurd because practically any subject can be found where someone from Oxford and someone from Harvard are opposed. [44:28] Research and Lab Work: How to Find an Approach That Works For You -       It is highly recommended to do your research, not just blindly believe anything somebody might be saying. -        Dr Rachel also does her research on triglyceride to HDL ratio. -       Ally does a Mcdonald's experiment wherein he only eats a huge amount of food at Mcdonald's for a month.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University, AG1, and Pendulum. Dietary cholesterol from saturated fat is often thought to be the cause of high LDL cholesterol and blocked arteries. But we now know from updated research that it's much more complicated than that. Standard cholesterol testing is outdated because it doesn't check for particle size and particle number, information that is needed to tell what's really going on with your cholesterol. Statins are often prescribed to lower LDL cholesterol, but often do not address the root of the problem and can cause very uncomfortable side effects.In today's episode, I talk with Drs. Elizabeth Boham, Ronald Krauss, and Aseem Malhotra about the true role of cholesterol and what is really behind heart disease.Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.Dr. Ronald Krauss is a Senior Scientist at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, a Professor of Medicine at UCSF, and an Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley. Dr. Krauss's research aims to understand how to best prevent cardiovascular disease through early detection and management of its major risk factors: most notably, elevated levels of blood cholesterol and lipoproteins. He has published more than 450 research articles and reviews on metabolic, genetic, dietary, and drug effects on plasma lipoproteins and the risk of coronary artery disease, with more than 100,000 citations of this work.Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an NHS-trained consultant cardiologist and visiting Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar. In 2015, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of UK health charity The King's Fund. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking.This episode is brought to you by Rupa University, AG1, and Pendulum.Rupa University is hosting FREE classes and bootcamps for healthcare providers who want to learn more about Functional Medicine testing.
