Have you heard about people buying weight loss medications from unregulated sources online? The rise of black market weight loss drugs is putting lives at risk. In this episode, I discuss the concerning trend of people purchasing Retatrutide—a medication still in clinical trials—through illegal channels. Known as the "Godzilla Jab" for its potential power, early studies suggest this drug could help people lose up to 24% of their body weight. I explain what Retatrutide is and how it compares to FDA-approved medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. We explore why people take dangerous risks with black market drugs, from social media hype to cost concerns and access issues. Most importantly, I share the serious health and legal risks of buying unregulated medications and provide clear guidelines for safely accessing weight loss treatments through licensed providers. Tune in to learn how to protect yourself and make informed decisions about weight loss medications the safe way.   Episode Highlights: What is Retatrutide The dangers of purchasing unregulated medications online Factors driving people to illegal sources Legal risks of buying unapproved drugs and potential health complications from unregulated substances Safe Medication Practices Understanding that medication works best when combined with healthy eating, physical activity, adequate rest, and emotional support   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Join us as we revisit our conversation with Dr. Bronwyn Riggs about Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.  Why is my 13 y.o. dog seeming so confused by every day tasks? She doesn't seem to recognize me anymore and went to the window to be let outside. Then she seemed to get lost on our usual walk and became quite anxious. She is pacing all night long and then sleeps throughout the day. She's never had an accident, and now urinated on the dining room rug twice last week! Sound familiar? According to Bronwyn Riggs, VMD, DACVIM (Neurology), perhaps it's cognitive dysfunction that is responsible for changes in her behavior, disorientation, and confusion. The brain experiences age-related degenerative changes just like muscles. Impairment of memory and learning with age exists across all species. Factors such as genetics, diet, environment, lifestyle, and metabolic diseases contribute to susceptibility. Although there is no cure, cognitive decline can be managed with enrichment, behavior modification, targeted nutrition, medications, and certain supplements. To exercise their brain, you can teach your old dog new tricks!

It was a long preseason and, quite frankly, a pretty dull one, too. In other words, for a team like the Philadelphia Eagles, which kept its core intact and is looking to accomplish the exact same thing this year as last year, it was perfect. But don't let the lack of drama or juicy position battles fool you. The reigning Super Bowl champions still have some big questions to answer once they start playing for keeps Thursday at Lincoln Financial Field against the Dallas Cowboys. Will Saquon Barkley, recently voted the no. 1 player in the NFL, be able to dodge the presumptive defensive target on his back? Is the secondary deep enough to withstand the offseason departures of key veterans?

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down Workday's strong Q2 results, highlighting how AI solutions, mid-market growth, government expansion, partner-driven value, and global initiatives are fueling momentum. Highlights00:14 — Workday recently posted a very nice fiscal Q2, ended July 31. I pulled out growth factors from the earnings call. Just a quick recap here: for Q2, its subscription revenue was up 14% to $2.17 billion, while their current RPO was up 16.4% to almost $8 billion. So, strong demand for the recent quarter and the pipeline going forward.01:37 — First of all, suites. Workday CEO Carl Eschenbach said 30% of Q2 deals were for full suites, which, in Workday parlance, is both Financials and HCM. These consolidated data sets, he said, are more and more vital to companies. Now they can use all of that data together for some of their AI solutions, and certainly on the AI side, there was strength there.02:05 — Among existing Workday customers, 30% of all deals included one or more AI solutions. For new customers, that number jumped to 70%. In the mid-market, a lot of strength there with a new go-to-market program tailored for the needs of mid-market companies, Workday Go. In the federal government, Workday has created a new subsidiary called Workday Government.03:04 — Partners are now generating, among new annual contract value, 20%. The sharing of data for AI, Eschenbach, over the last few quarters, has been touting the value and how clean that dataset is. There's a new president in India. Workday is building a data center in India to handle local and regional data requirements there—and in Germany and the UK.04:19 — One of the high-growth areas was a recent acquisition of a company called Eversort, in the contract intelligence business. Eschenbach said that for Eversort, revenue grew 100% quarter to quarter. So that's not year over year, but sequentially—it is doubling its revenue from one quarter to the next. Overall, very nice quarter for Workday and CEO Carl Eschenbach. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

This week we review a recent work addressing the growing mismatch between the numbers of ACHD patients and the numbers of well trained ACHD providers. What are the most important factors influencing trainees' decisions regarding the pursuit of a career in ACHD? How can more young people be influenced to pursue this fascinating and growing field? We speak with Dr. Katia Bravo-Jaimes of The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FLA about a recent survey study she conducted on the factors that influenced these important decisions. Dr. Bravo-Jaimes shares her thoughts on solutions to increase the ACHD workforce.https://doi.org/10.1161/jaha.125.041276

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-21-2025: Dr. Dawn opens with disturbing research linking respiratory infections to breast cancer reactivation. Studies show increased breast cancer deaths during COVID beyond screening delays, suggesting viral infections may awaken dormant cancer cells through inflammatory signals. Mouse models demonstrate that influenza infection can increase metastatic burden up to 1000-fold by triggering neutrophil extracellular traps that act as growth signals for sleeping cancer cells. She covers neuroimmune crosstalk in lung fibrosis research, where mice lacking pain receptors developed worse scarring when exposed to lung injury. The absence of pain signals failed to trigger natural inflammation suppressors, leading to increased neutrophil activity and inflammatory nets that contributed to tissue damage. New food spoilage detection technology uses pH-sensitive dyes in packaging that fluoresce or change color when bacterial metabolism produces acids. This could prevent foodborne illness from contaminated deli meats and dairy products by providing visual warnings before consumption, particularly important for high-risk foods like lunch meats and mayonnaise. Dr. Dawn warns about diquat replacing glyphosate in Roundup products, potentially creating 200 times more toxicity. The new compound suppresses gut lining proteins, creating leaky gut and allowing bacterial toxins into the bloodstream, while causing permanent kidney, liver, and lung damage. Most countries have banned diquat, but it remains available in American stores. Research reveals that lactose intolerance can cause intense nightmares through gut-brain connections. Montreal studies found that people with dairy sensitivity experience more frequent, distressing dreams that improve significantly when dairy is eliminated from their diet. The mechanism likely involves gastrointestinal discomfort causing microarousals that make dreams more vivid and memorable. She describes revolutionary remote-controlled probiotics combining genetically modified E. coli with pill cameras. These bacterial robots can detect inflammation, produce therapeutic compounds on command, and communicate through bioluminescence. Applications include targeted inflammatory bowel disease treatment where bacteria manufacture anti-TNF nanobodies when activated by LED signals from swallowed capsules. An emailer with recurring diverticulitis asks about surgical options versus dietary management. Dr. Dawn explains the structural causes of diverticular disease and the vicious cycle created by repeated antibiotic treatments that damage gut microbiomes. She emphasizes the importance of dramatically increasing fiber intake and addressing underlying leaky gut issues that may contribute to the condition. A caller asks about foods for better bowel movements while managing diabetes and taking Wegovy. Dr. Dawn recommends ground flaxseed mixed into various foods and weekly preparation of roasted root vegetables for someone with limited cooking skills. The conversation becomes personal as the caller expresses concerns about housing security and healthcare access during uncertain political times. New microplastic research reveals how these particles accumulate bacteria, viruses, and toxins in biofilm "coronas" that enhance their harmful effects. Different plastic types carry varying electric charges affecting where they travel in the body. Breakthrough laser detection methods now allow precise identification and tracking of specific plastic polymers in tissues, enabling better research on health impacts. Dr. Dawn discusses advances in CAR-T cell therapy for multiple myeloma, sharing positive results from her husband's recent treatment. New research suggests injecting lipid nanoparticles containing CAR DNA instead of removing T-cells for laboratory modification, potentially making this therapy much cheaper and more accessible while maintaining effectiveness for blood cancers.

(00:01) Avoiding Golf Game Ruiners This chapter is all about how external factors like extreme heat and internal factors like negative thoughts can ruin a golf game. We discuss how the recent heatwave across the Midwest and East Coast has made playing outdoors unbearable and potentially dangerous, especially for those with health conditions. To counteract this, indoor golf facilities have become increasingly popular, offering technology that simulates outdoor conditions with impressive accuracy. We also touch on the mental aspects of golf, exploring how bad thoughts and poor self-awareness can derail even the most consistent players. Our goal is to help golfers recognize these challenges and find ways to get back on track, whether it's by avoiding harsh weather conditions or seeking help to restore their confidence and swing. (10:22) Avoiding Bad Golf Swing Advice This chapter focuses on the pitfalls that can sabotage your golf game, highlighting the dangers of relying too heavily on social media for swing advice. We discuss how the endless stream of tips and tricks from platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube can be overwhelming and often misleading, especially when the advice isn't tailored to your specific needs or skill level. We emphasize the importance of not succumbing to the allure of quick fixes and snake oil solutions offered by self-proclaimed experts online. Instead, understanding your unique swing characteristics and focusing on repeatable, personalized techniques is crucial for genuine improvement. We also touch on the perils of listening to well-meaning but potentially misguided advice from fellow golfers on the course. (23:25) Understanding Clubface Alignment and Swing This chapter focuses on the challenge many golfers face in aligning their clubface correctly. We explore how the design of a golf club, with its forward-leaning shaft and the manufacturer's intended alignment, can make it difficult for players to ensure the clubface is perpendicular to the target. By extending arms straight out as if holding a baseball bat, golfers can better see how the clubface should be aligned, focusing on the leading edge and bottom grooves rather than the top line. We also discuss the importance of recognizing both the clubface's position and one's body alignment to the target. Misunderstandings in these areas can lead to inefficiencies and unnecessary complexity in the golf swing, ultimately affecting performance. Recognizing and trusting the intended design and alignment of the club can help golfers avoid common pitfalls and improve their game. (29:07) Avoiding Bad Club and Shot Choices This chapter explores the parallels between bowling and golf, emphasizing the strategic thinking and skill involved in both sports. We discuss the impact of ego on golf performance, sharing a personal story about a scramble game where poor shot choice led to a double bogey. The conversation highlights the importance of realistic club selection based on actual performance rather than assumptions. Factors like elevation, humidity, and personal condition can significantly influence club choice. We stress the need for golfers to use their brains over ego and to accurately assess their capabilities and conditions when playing to avoid common pitfalls that can damage their game. (42:23) Understanding Wind's Impact on Golf This chapter covers the impact of wind on a golf ball's flight, emphasizing that wind at ground level is less significant compared to the wind at higher altitudes where the ball reaches its peak trajectory. I discuss how the ball's speed and trajectory are affected as it ascends and descends, especially when encountering wind, which can lead to unexpected outcomes like landing in water instead of on the green. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these dynamics to avoid a poor game and make better decisions on the course. Additionally, we remind listeners to keep these insights in mind to enhance their golfing experience and ensure a more enjoyable round.

On this episode of In The Circle, we're diving into an intriguing discussion about the integration of psychedelic therapies with holistic healing in recovery.Aaron's inquiry holds great significance, as many people seek answers about the role of psychedelics in the healing process. However, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this complex issue. It's not a matter of simply categorizing psychedelics as good or bad. Rather, we need to delve into our own personal truths and understand when and if psychedelic therapy is suitable for us. It's crucial to grasp the potential benefits and risks and, most importantly, to ensure that any transformative insights gained through such experiences are effectively integrated into our lives.I believe in the potential for transformation, happiness, and peace without relying on substances. My view is that integration of such peak experiences matters more than the experiences themselves. The search for these experiences can lead to neglecting the importance of mastering the day-to-day aspects of life, where true growth and healing occur.Tommy discusses:Why we need to delve into our own personal truths when considering psychedelic therapiesThe dangers of seeking constant peak experiences Factors to consider when deciding whether to explore psychedelic therapiesReasons to explore the benefits of Yoga, Meditation, and breathworkThe value of living from the inside out and aligning the outside with your inner needsThe potential benefits and risks of various psychedelic therapies (psilocybin, ketamine, ayahuasca)Further Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.
