Ukrainian drones are striking deep inside the country, while new U.S. sanctions are cutting off key buyers in India and China. We'll explain why this dual pressure is becoming a serious problem for Moscow's war economy. Germany is preparing to lift its freeze on arms exports to Israel, saying the Gaza ceasefire has stabilized enough to reverse restrictions imposed during the height of the conflict.

What if everything you've been told about menopause is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mary Claire Haver — board-certified OB/GYN and leading menopause expert — to unpack the science reshaping women's health. We break down the FDA's recent removal of the 22-year black box warning on hormone therapy, why only 4% of women use HRT today, and how fear and misinformation have shaped decades of care. Dr. Haver also dives into the rise of menopause “biohacks,” from NAD and PRP to the fundamentals that truly move the needle: sleep, strength training, and metabolic health. Her message is simple: Menopause isn't a disease — it's a transition, and you deserve informed, evidence-based support. If you've ever felt dismissed or confused during midlife changes, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and the science to advocate for yourself.

If you've ever hit a breaking point, the kind that forces you to stop pretending you're fine, this episode is medicine. Emily Fletcher sits down with actress and creative force Tati Gabrielle (You, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Kaleidoscope) to explore how pain becomes power when you're willing to meet it head-on. From depression in Atlanta to an identity unraveling to discovering a spiritual practice that rebuilt her from the inside out, Tati shares the raw moments that became her initiation into authenticity. This conversation isn't about bypassing pain, it's about alchemizing it. Turning the collapse into clarity. Turning the wound into wisdom. Turning the struggle into strength. In this episode, we explore: • How to recognize when pain is trying to redirect you • The morning ritual that helped Tati rebuild her life • The difference between numbing pain and transforming it • Why meditation can be a portal for emotional alchemy • The “mind palace” technique she used to rewire her future • How intuition becomes louder when you stop abandoning yourself • What inner child healing actually looks like in daily life • A more empowered way to relate to fate, free will, and resilience Timestamps: • [02:01] When everything broke open — Tati's turning point and the moment pain became her invitation inward. • [06:26] The 7 a.m. ritual that saved her — The simple, self-created practice that pulled her out of depression. • [10:06] Anxiety vs. soul alignment — How she learned to read her body and separate fear from intuition. • [12:18] The “red carpet” vision — The emotional anchor that fueled her transformation and early manifestation wins. • [17:38] The power pivot — How her internal shift created rapid external change (manager, agent, bookings). • [24:38] The body map of intuition — The clearest explanation of where intuition lives vs. where anxiety lives. • [32:49] Life as a video game — A reframe for navigating pain, destiny, and empowerment with play instead of pressure. • [40:57] Mini-resets that regulate the nervous system — The exact micro-practices Tati uses when she spirals. • [48:30] Inside the darkest moments — How she navigates panic, bipolar swings, and the instinct that brings her back. • [53:06] Acting as devotion — How she channels characters as real souls — and why creativity can be healing.

Process innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is never easy, but its best chance of success comes when companies come together to work on big problems – especially when they bring in regulators and other stakeholders. In today's episode of the pharmaphorum podcast, host Jonah Comstock speaks with Rob DiCicco, vice president of portfolio management at TransCelerate Biopharma, a membership organisation where big pharma companies work together to innovate around the discovery, development, and manufacturing of new drugs. DiCicco gives an update on TransCelerate's work with pragmatic trials and the group's meetings last year with the FDA. He discusses what pragmatic trials are and how they can improve the efficiency of clinical research, as well as describing the work that was done at the meeting last year and the report that's come out of it. He also gets into next steps, how the new administration has and hasn't affected the work TransCelerate is doing with the FDA, and the role TransCelerate plays in taking these recommendation and putting them into practice. Tune in to learn how the pharma industry is working together to change the way clinical trials are done.
The FDA belatedly liberates women's hormone replacement; Beta-blockers now deemed passé for routine heart attack aftercare; After most breast cancer surgery, adjuvant radiation brings no survival benefits; Can you drink caffeinated coffee if you have atrial fibrillation?

In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Dr. Eugene Lipov — physician, researcher, and the world's leading expert on using Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to treat post-traumatic stress. Dr. Lipov pioneered the use of SGB for trauma recovery in 2006, adapting a decades-old FDA-approved procedure into a breakthrough therapy for PTSD. He later developed the Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) protocol, which has helped thousands experience rapid and life-changing relief. Motivated by his own family's experience with trauma, Dr. Lipov is also a global advocate for redefining PTSD as Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) — a term that removes stigma and reflects the biological nature of the condition. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fox National News, NBC, and numerous medical journals. He has testified before Congress, worked with military organizations worldwide, and continues to push trauma treatment into a new era of science-backed innovation.

En este episodio de Micro Mundos analizamos el Acuerdo Marco Comercial entre la Argentina y los Estados Unidos, un entendimiento que todavía no es un tratado final, pero que redefine la relación bilateral: apertura acelerada de mercados, reconocimiento automático de estándares de la FDA, reglas de inversión, propiedad intelectual, comercio digital y cooperación en seguridad económica. ¿Quién gana más? ¿Qué sectores argentinos quedan expuestos? ¿Y qué implica para el Mercosur?Además, abordamos dos debates internos que marcaron la semana:• El rumor sobre la eliminación del Monotributo y el impacto inmediato que tendría sobre 4,5 millones de contribuyentes.• El cruce entre el presidente Javier Milei y el economista Emanuel Alvarez Agis, que volvió a encender la discusión sobre impuestos, formalidad y el rumbo económico.• Y el regreso de un fantasma histórico: la posibilidad de una reforma constitucional impulsada desde la Casa Rosada, con ideas que incluyen ampliar a seis años el mandato presidencial, eliminar la figura del vicepresidente y reducir el tamaño del Congreso.

THE FDA FINALLY REMOVED THE BLACK BOX WARNING on both systemic estrogen and low-dose vaginal estrogen — and it's one of the biggest wins in women's health in decades.For years, millions of women avoided hormone therapy because of outdated, frightening warnings that did NOT match the scientific evidence. This led to unnecessary suffering — from painful sex to recurrent UTIs to fear-based avoidance of safe, effective treatments.In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers (Board-Certified OB/GYN + Menopause Specialist) breaks down the NEW FDA labeling, the real data on hormone therapy safety, and why vaginal estrogen is one of the safest and most life-changing treatments in menopause care.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to create both challenges and opportunities. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke with dedicated evangelist to the people of Iran who shared with us the difficulty that people are living through as the regime in power continues to exert control amidst water and electricity shortages. He told us despite the hardships more young people are turning away from Islam and discovering the life-giving hope of Christ and the gospel. Then we looked at the confusing actions of the FDA on abortion pills. A highly respected doctor who is on the front lines of the fight for the preborn explains why there are no protections for women who are encouraged to take the drugs, what these pills actually to the mother and baby and why it is important to tell women that there are other options and protections for them and their child. What can cause you to lose the joy and intimacy of your spiritual relationship with God? Our guest said that there are lies that many believers fall prey to that do that sort of damage to the believers walk. He explained those lies and gave us some clear biblical guidance of how to replace those lies with solid biblical truth. Sometimes the road of the Christian life seems to be full of potholes and speed bumps, but those difficulties are no surprise to a sovereign God who uses these obstacles to grow and mature His children in their faith. Our guest explained how living out your faith is the only way to navigate these challenges. We turned to one our favorite guests, a highly respected bible teacher and author to help us understand a vital part of the Christian life that many do not really understand or know how to implement in their lives, worship. He took us back to scripture to show us the necessity of worship and how it can transform and deepen your walk with the Lord. The end of the week is here, and we invite you to join our favorite husband and wife duo as they instruct us on how to use the Word to measure the confusing and misleading ideas that populate the marketplace of ideas.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode covers: • Cocoa Extract Cuts Heart Deaths A massive COSMOS trial found that older adults taking high flavanol cocoa extract daily saw a 27 percent reduction in cardiovascular deaths along with drops in inflammation markers like HSCRP. Women showed unique anti inflammatory cytokine shifts, pointing to a broader longevity effect. Dave explains why cocoa extract is becoming a foundational nutrient for vascular health rather than a dessert ingredient. Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250926135957.htm • AI Stethoscope for Home Diagnostics Lapsi Health's Keikku 2.0 just became the first FDA cleared AI powered digital stethoscope for both clinicians and home users. It records heart and lung sounds, analyzes them instantly, and flags early warning signs before symptoms appear. Dave breaks down why tools like this move you from reactive to predictive medicine and why they belong in every quantified self toolkit.

Liver, kidney, and heart deliver vitamin A, heme iron, B12, copper, and choline that modern diets often lack. Dave covers sourcing concerns, purity standards, and why this shift reflects a move from fear based nutrition to evolutionary nutrition.

It is becoming a staple of eco focused anti aging routines and is driving the viral green stacking trend with chlorella and chlorophyll. Dave explains why spirulina functions as a clean daily defense against oxidative stress.

XX The Primary Oral Insulin Trial (POInT) is the first large-scale clinical trial to test whether giving at-risk children daily oral insulin could prevent or delay type 1 diabetes (T1D). Conducted by researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich across five European countries, the study enrolled more than 1,000 children with a genetic risk for T1D. Results published in The Lancet show that while oral insulin did not prevent the development of islet autoantibodies—an early sign of diabetes—it was safe and well tolerated. Importantly, researchers found that some children who received oral insulin developed diabetes more slowly than those given a placebo, suggesting potential protective effects in certain genetic subgroups. Further analysis revealed that the response to treatment depended on the child's insulin gene variant. Children with genetic versions that raise diabetes risk appeared to benefit, showing delayed onset of the disease, while those without the risk variant did not. These findings point toward a future of personalized prevention, where genetic screening could help identify which children might benefit most from oral insulin. Researchers will continue following the participants until age 12 to assess long-term effects. The study marks a major milestone in decades of diabetes prevention research, highlighting both the promise and complexity of developing tailored, early interventions against type 1 diabetes. XX Joint US-Chinese research looking at generating new beta cells from stomach cells. Upon turning on the "genetic switch," the human stomach cells were converted to insulin-secreting cells within the mice and resembled pancreatic beta cells with respect to gene and protein expression. Encouragingly, when those experiments were done with diabetic mice, insulin secreted from the transformed human cells helped control blood sugar levels and ameliorated diabetes. The scientists hope that a similar approach can be taken to convert cells from a patient's own stomach into insulin-secreting cells directly within the body. Importantly, additional studies are needed to address if this approach is safe and effective to be used in patients. https://www.technologynetworks.com/cell-science/news/human-stomach-cells-tweaked-to-make-insulin-406694 XX A new study in Nature Metabolism may help explain why children born to mothers with type 1 diabetes are less likely to develop the disease early in life compared to those whose fathers or siblings have it. Researchers looked at nearly 2,000 mothers and their children and found that kids whose moms have type 1 diabetes show changes in their DNA that may actually help protect them. These aren't genetic mutations, but epigenetic changes — chemical tags that turn certain genes on or off. The study found these changes in genes tied to the immune system and type 1 diabetes risk, suggesting that a mother's condition during pregnancy can shape her child's immune response in a protective way. Scientists identified more than 500 areas of DNA where these changes occurred, many in regions that control how the body's immune system works. Most of the changes appeared to calm down the kind of overactive immune response that leads to type 1 diabetes. Researchers even created a "methylation score" to help measure this protective effect. They say the next step is to confirm these results in more diverse groups and figure out exactly how these DNA changes help prevent early diabetes. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251110/Maternal-type-1-diabetes-may-protect-children-from-developing-the-disease.aspx XX A new study from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University reveals that sons born to mothers with type 1 diabetes may develop early vascular dysfunction—independently of metabolic health. The finding may help shape future strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease early in life. Children of women with type 1 diabetes are known to be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This new study, published in Cell Reports Medicine, is the first to show that the risk is linked to early dysfunction in blood vessel cells in sons, even before any metabolic issues arise. The team is now investigating the long-term effects of maternal diabetes, with a particular focus on why sons seem to be affected earlier than daughters. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-sons-mothers-diabetes-early-vascular.html XX A new study presented at Kidney Week 2025 has shown that the drug finn-uh-near-own a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist, significantly reduced albuminuria—a key marker of kidney damage—in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is the first major breakthrough for this population in more than 30 years. Researchers found that patients taking finerenone saw a 25% average reduction in albuminuria compared to placebo, an improvement that suggests a lower long-term risk for dialysis or kidney transplant. The phase 3 FINE-ONE trial involved 242 adults with T1D and CKD, and results showed benefits as early as three months. The drug was generally well tolerated, with side effects similar to those seen in patients with type 2 diabetes, though mild hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) was slightly more common. Experts say the findings could change the way doctors treat kidney complications in type 1 diabetes, an area that hasn't seen new therapies since the early 1990s. Currently, treatment options rely on blood pressure and blood sugar management, along with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. Finerenone, which is already approved for type 2 diabetes-related CKD, targets overactivation of a receptor that drives kidney damage. Based on these results, Bayer plans to seek FDA approval in 2026 for use in people with T1D and CKD. Researchers and clinicians alike are calling the study "groundbreaking," noting that it opens the door to future research on how finerenone might not just slow kidney decline—but possibly prevent it altogether. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/finerenone-offers-hope-kidney-disease-type-1-diabetes-2025a1000uzi?form=login XX This week, Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) announced a major milestone for its Mobi miniature durable insulin pump system. San Diego-based Tandem revealed that it received FDA approval for the Android version of its Mobi mobile app. Clearance brings Mobi — which the company describes as the world's smallest, durable automated insulin delivery system — to more users. The pump, which pairs with Tandem's Control-IQ+ algorithm, previously worked with iOS software. Tandem — one of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — expects to begin a limited rollout next month, followed by full commercial availability in early 2026. This marks the latest milestone for the company, which continues to expand its offerings and widen its reach within the diabetes patient population. We had a great interview with Tandem on our previous episode, but as I said at the time, it was coming before their earnings call. So here's an update: The company plans to submit the tubeless mobi to the fda before the end of this year.. possible approval and shipping date is hoped for by middle of 2026. Trials for their fully closed loop next-generation algorithm which we tlkaed abou ton the show should be launched in 2026 The Sigi patch pump will be developed and launched as a next-generation version of the Mobi Great job by Dr. David ? Ahn – he posted on IG after getting a message from tandem CEO John Sheridan? 1. First, the Tandem X3 *is* still absolutely in development, contrary to my speculation In yesterday's video. As many of you appropriately pointed out, there is definitely a market for a 300 unit pump, a pump with a screen, and a pump that does not require smartphone control. So from our brief chat, the sense I got that is that the X3 would be more of a refresh of the X2 with newer components, such as a USB-C connector and better memory, rather than a total redesign from the ground up. In terms of timing, all I could get was that it was "not too far distant in the future," which could mean anything I guess, but at least it's still on the way! 2. Next up, he also reassured me that they are working closely with Dexcom to support the G7 15 Day sensor within the next few months. I suspected as much, but it's always good to hear confirmation. 3. Lastly, he did confirm that Tandem is far along in developing a Caregiver/Follow app to allow the remote viewing of glucose and insulin data from a Tandem pump. He explained that it will be based on Sugarmate, the popular diabetes data dashboard app that Tandem acquired back in Jun 2020. While I don't know if every feature will make it into the Tandem caregiver app, Sugarmate is well-liked for its highly customizable dashboard and highly configurable alerts. Sugarmate even has the option to send a text message or phone call for urgent lows. Regardless, a true follow/Caregiver app will be welcomed with open arms by all caregivers and Tandem users who use Libre 3 Plus. https://time.com/7318020/worlds-top-healthtech-companies-2025/ XX Senseonics submits Eversense 365 – their year long implantable CGM for a CE mark, European Approval and expect to launch there soon. Eversense will be integrated with the sequel twist pump – again I'm hearing soon but no timeline. Intersting to note that one year inseration was approved in the US just about a year ago, so the first patients will be having their CGMs changed out – for the first time – pretty soon. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-q2-2025-sales-beat-ce-mark/ XX A confusing study out of Rutgers - these researcher say metformin reduces some of the key benefits normally gained from regular physical activity. These include improvements in blood vessel health, physical fitness, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Since 2006, doctors have typically encouraged patients with elevated blood sugar levels to combine metformin with exercise, expecting that the two proven treatments would produce stronger results together. However, the new research suggests this may not be the case. In this study, Exercise alone improved vascular insulin sensitivity, meaning blood vessels responded better to insulin and allowed more blood flow to muscles. This matters because insulin's ability to open blood vessels helps shuttle glucose out of the bloodstream and into tissues, lowering blood sugar after meals. But when metformin was added, the improvements shrank. The drug also diminished gains in aerobic fitness and reduced the positive effects on inflammation and fasting glucose. The findings don't mean people should stop taking metformin or exercising, Malin said. Instead, it raises urgent questions for doctors about how the two treatments can be combined and the need for close monitoring. Malin hopes future research will uncover strategies that preserve the benefits of both. https://scitechdaily.com/popular-diabetes-drug-metformin-may-cancel-out-exercise-benefits-study-warns/ XX XX https://www.medtechdive.com/news/Revvity-Sanofi-diabetes-test-Kihealth-seed-round/802133/ XX Dexcom recalled an Android app for its G6 glucose sensor due to a software problem that could cause the app to terminate unexpectedly. The issue could cause users to miss alarms, alerts or notifications related to estimated glucose values, according to a Food and Drug Administration database entry posted Oct. 30. The glucose sensor and the app are still available, but Dexcom required users to update the app to a new version. Dexcom began the recall on Aug. 28. The FDA designated the event as a Class 1 recall, the most serious kind. Dexcom sent a notification to customers in September about the software bug, which applies to version 1.15 of the G6 Android app. To use the app, customers must update it to a new version, according to the entry. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-recall-g6-cgm-app/804630/ XX https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/automated-insulin-delivery-boosts-glycemic-control-youth-2025a1000ub3 XX Tidepool partners with smart ring maker OURA.. press release says: to support a groundbreaking dataset intended to be broadly available for diabetes research, with participation limited to individuals who opt in through Tidepool. Tidepool will pair biometric data from Oura Ring – sleep, activity, heart rate, temperature trends, and menstrual cycles – with diabetes device data, including continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps. The result will provide researchers with an unprecedented dataset to accelerate the development of new clinical guidelines, next-generation diabetes technology, and personalized care models. Recruitment is expected to launch in early 2026 through an IRB-approved study. By opting in to this study, participants consent to sharing their data with Tidepool's Big Data Donation Project, where data is de-identified and, with participant consent, shared with academics, researchers, and industry innovators to accelerate diabetes research. https://aijourn.com/tidepool-collaborates-with-oura-to-advance-inclusive-diabetes-research-through-wearables/ XX Eli Lilly launches two new clinical trials for baricitinib. These phase 3 trials will investigate whether the drug can delay T1D onset or progression and will open for recruitment soon. Baricitinib has the potential to extend the "honeymoon period" of T1D, meaning that it could preserve remaining insulin-producing beta cells earlier in disease progression. More beta cells mean better blood sugar management—and potentially reduced long-term complications. JAK inhibitors, including baricitinib, are already FDA-approved for other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia, and more. JAK signaling pathways are associated with overactive immune responses, so blocking this pathway may turn down the immune response. The phase 2 Breakthrough T1D-funded BANDIT study was key in showing that this drug is safe and effective in T1D. Importantly, baricitinib is a once-daily oral pill—meaning its use is simple and easy. https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/two-new-trials-baricitinib-to-delay-t1d/ XX Insulet is taking diabetes awareness into the workplace. Having found 79% of people with diabetes have faced bias or misunderstanding at work, the medtech giant is rolling out a range of resources intended to trigger changes in how workplaces approach the condition. Lots going on for Diabetes Awareness month.. some notables.. Insulet's "The Day Diabetes Showed up to Work" campaign. based on a survey of almost 10,000 people 79% of people with diabetes have faced bias or misunderstanding at work,. Almost 90% of people with diabetes surveyed reported experiencing barriers at work due to their condition, and more than 40% of people with diabetes and caregivers said they have workplace-related anxiety tied to the metabolic disease. Around one-quarter of respondents reported fears that diabetes could limit opportunities or lead to workplace discrimination and judgment, and a similar proportion of people said they conceal their condition. https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/widespread-workplace-challenges-people-diabetes-spark-insulet-campaign XX New directive issued by the Trump administration could mean people seeking visas to live in the U.S. might be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, including diabetes or obesity. The guidance, issued in a cable the State Department sent to embassy and consular officials and examined by KFF Health News, directs visa officers to deem applicants ineligible to enter the U.S. for several new reasons, including age or the likelihood they might rely on public benefits. The guidance says that such people could become a "public charge" — a potential drain on U.S. resources — because of their health issues or age. The cable's language appears at odds with the Foreign Affairs Manual, the State Department's own handbook, which says that visa officers cannot reject an application based on "what if" scenarios, Wheeler said. The guidance directs visa officers to develop "their own thoughts about what could lead to some sort of medical emergency or sort of medical costs in the future," he said. "That's troubling because they're not medically trained, they have no experience in this area, and they shouldn't be making projections based on their own personal knowledge or bias." Immigrants already undergo a medical exam by a physician who's been approved by a U.S. embassy. https://www.npr.org/2025/11/12/nx-s1-5606348/immigrants-visas-health-conditions-trump-guidance XX SAN DIEGO---Nov. 14, 2025—DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ: DXCM), the global leader in glucose biosensing, today unveiled 16 new diabetes advocates to represent people living with diabetes globally as part of Dexcom's World Diabetes Day campaign. The advocates – ranging from ages six to 68, spanning various types of diabetes, and hailing from four continents and five countries – were selected from 1,000 open call submissions based on their experiences advocating for people with diabetes in their communities. While each person's experience with diabetes is unique, they share a common passion for advocacy – and use of Dexcom's glucose biosensing technology. "Through advocacy, I strive to show others, especially children and newly diagnosed patients, that diabetes is not a limitation but an opportunity to grow stronger, inspire resilience and pursue ambitious goals," said Maria Alejandra Jove Valerio, one of Dexcom's new advocates. "What began as a diagnosis at age seven has grown into a lifelong mission to uplift others." This effort represents the first time Dexcom has sourced voices from the broader diabetes community specifically for its World Diabetes Day campaign, reinforcing Dexcom's history of and commitment to giving real people with diabetes a platform to share their story on a global stage. Through engaging, editorial-style portraits and deeply personal stories, the campaign highlights each advocate's personal experience with diabetes, what misconceptions about diabetes they'd like to dispel and how they want to inspire others with diabetes to discover what they're made of. To prepare for the spotlight, the group of advocates met in Los Angeles for a World Diabetes Day photoshoot which included a surprise visit from Grammy-nominated artist, actor, producer and Dexcom Warrior Lance Bass and author, producer, actress and Stelo*Ambassador Retta. This visit offered the advocates an opportunity to exchange stories and personal perspectives on the meaning of diabetes advocacy and how they live it each day. Behind the lens at the shoot was another member of the diabetes community—photographer Tommy Lundberg who lives with Type 1 diabetes. "Directing this photoshoot was nothing short of inspiring. Each of these advocates has a unique an XX On what would have been the 100th birthday of its visionary founder Alfred E. Mann, MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD), in partnership with Alfred E. Mann Charities and The Diabetes Link, announced the launch of the Centennial Al Mann Scholarship. The new program will distribute $100,000 in scholarship funds to support at least 10 young adult students living with diabetes as they pursue higher education in life sciences. Launched in Diabetes Awareness Month, the scholarship program honors Alfred E.

Natasha is joined by Dr. Lisa Diamond and Dr. Scout on this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast. This is a powerful episode as, in Lisa's words: "Scout and I have witnessed the entire birth and now destruction of the field of queer and trans mental and physical health (Scout is 60, I'm 54), so we have lived through this whole weird arc of seeing lgbtq health become a legitimate profession, and now it's being threatened—it's both personally and professionally devastating for both of us to witness this happening. "It is astounding that at a time when we recently survived a global pandemic that left so many people feeling isolated in ways that has profoundly affected our mental and physical health… and at a time when we have very clear data on the risk of suicide and lessened wellbeing for the LGBTQI+ community due to societal discrimination… that the government is choosing to dismantle and destroy so many departments/entities meant to support the health, science and data collection of ALL Americans." Dr. Diamond and Dr. Scout have created a survey for anyone affected by the current administration. Please consider filling it out. "We launched the study with zero funding, it's driven by pure love and panic, and it's affecting EVERYONE who loves or works with queer or trans people, including family members, friends, social workers, physicians, school, teachers, therapist, educators, EVERYONE. All of us are going through something, and we are going through this at the same time that the federal government has CEASED all data collection on our health. So Scout and I figured "OK, you don't wanna do this? We're just gonna have to do it ourselves." Go here to fill out the survey: https://csbsutah.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9WyKRPONJuL67Yy?fbclid=IwY2xjawOEdthleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFoOW43aDJMdnNGb1kwSThZc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkWvMqhUx7OYFY_0kbvt2yVu911j1Ch5DAnsBloLDDgUw1CHSZ3BRNwBhq3A_aem_2e27bX8Xk_kP7utbPv482g Also, if you're an organization that would like to partner with this project reach out to: research@cancer-network.com From Natasha: I loved Lisa's reminder that we survive oppression and destruction through connection. This is a small thing we can do to make a difference and that in of itself is healing and empowering. Please take the 20-25 minutes to fill out this survey. And please forward it to anyone you know who is impacted. Scout, PhD (they/he) is the Executive Director of the National LGBTQI+ Cancer Network and the principal investigator of both the CDC-funded LGBTQI+ tobacco-related cancer disparity network and Out: The National Cancer Survey. They spend much of their time providing technical assistance for tobacco and cancer focusing agencies expanding their reach and engagement with LGBTQI+ populations. Scout has a long history in health policy analysis and a particular interest in ensuring research and surveillance activities include LGBTQI+ people. They have faculty appointments at Dartmouth Cancer Center and Boston University's school of public health. They are a member of FDA's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, on the Advisory Panel for NIH's All of Us initiative, and a former member of NIH Council of Councils as well as former Co-Chair of the NIH Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office Work Group. Their work has won them recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives, two state governments, and many city governments. Scout is an openly nonbinary and trans father of three, an avid hiker, and is currently training for the aptly named Dopey Challenge races at Disney. Lisa M. Diamond, Ph.D., is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Utah and a past president of the International Academy for Sex Research.

When a man can secretly order abortion pills in his wife’s name and force them on his pregnant girlfriend, something is deeply broken in our culture. This week's episode of The Narrative breaks down a shocking Ohio case that exposes the growing dangers of unregulated abortion pill access and the cultural ideology enabling it. Aaron, David, and Mike unpack how current FDA rules allowed a man to order abortion drugs in his wife’s name and forcibly give them to his pregnant girlfriend. They also highlight the media’s stunning lack of coverage, the worldview driving that silence, and what must happen now to protect women from coercion and abuse. After their discussion, Evans and Ben Nwankwo of Ambassadors for Self Determination—native Nigerian brothers who now live in Ohio—join the conversation to expose the brutal reality of Christian persecution in Nigeria and an ongoing genocide claiming roughly 30 lives every day. The guys unpack the violence, the government’s complicity, and how US pressure and foreign-aid leverage could finally force change. Don't miss this episode, which pulls back the curtain on two stories the mainstream won’t touch and learn what must happen to protect women and save persecuted Christians. Take Action As Christians, we must act now! Our brothers and sisters in Nigeria are facing a daily threat most of the world refuses to acknowledge, and Congress needs to hear from believers who won’t look away. Take one minute today to contact your US Representative and Senators through our Action Center and urge them to back Senator Cruz’s legislation. Your voice can help push America to stand up, apply the pressure, and protect innocent Christians before more lives are lost. Also, the Trump Administration can restore protections for women and their children by reinstating the safeguards around the abortion pill. Use CCV’s Action Center to contact your members of Congress and federal leaders today, it takes just 60 seconds to demand real accountability and save lives.
In this episode, Brent is joined by endocrinologist and longtime FDA leader Dr. G. Alexander Fleming to break down one of the most consequential diseases of modern life: type 2 diabetes. Dr. Fleming explains the real difference between type 1 and type 2, why insulin resistance is the root problem, and how biomarkers like fasting glucose, A1C, and fasting insulin work together to reveal your true metabolic health. He also discusses the promises and pitfalls of blockbuster medications like metformin and semaglutide, the public-health failures that helped fuel today's metabolic crisis, and why strength training may be one of the most important longevity tools we have. Hope you enjoy.
Ask Me A Question For Next Week's Episode!Included in this week's episode: Personal story with the politicization of fitness and it's affects on my community today. Brief history of fitness and politics. Modern politics and fitness in the military and presidents. The socioeconomic and class division of fitness and politics. Pilates. Fitness in America today is highly individualized. Fitness in liberalism and conservatism inappropriately integrates morality, religion and political beliefs into fitness and food. The nuances of extremist political conclusions of food and fitness. Food as a human right around the world and in America. Political impacts on your fitness in government like the EPA, FDA, healthcare, federal standards and more. Final message: whatever your government is willing to do to the least of the society or those abroad, they will do to you. Full stop. The government will no hesitate to withhold food from it's civilians just like it does on the global setting. The beliefs and standards you hold for individualized fitness and food is where the government will stop. If you believe it's a personal issues, then your government will not help you. Ask more of the system you pay for. You are most similar to someone on SNAP than you are to a representative. We are all one moment away from needing a subsidy to help us live. Remember, most importantly, the government officials and law makers and the wealthiest of those in our country exist because of subsidy that YOU pay for. Demand more from your government. They are already used to providing it.

Biochemist Lingyin Li survived breast cancer at just 30 and now works to harness the human immune system to fight cancers that have long evaded treatment. T cells, she says, are powerful cancer killers, but they can be oblivious. She and her lab colleagues have discovered a masking enzyme that squelches the immune system's “danger signals” and are now developing drugs to block that enzyme. She likens her work to an arms race between cancer and immunotherapy. “The cancers are not getting smarter, but we are,” Li tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Today, we're talking to Dr. David Darrow for a second time. Check out episode 30 for our first discussion. David is a neurosurgeon and assistant professor in the departments of neurosurgery and psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. Many of you will also know that he is a researcher and the primary investigator of the successful and ongoing E-Stand trial, which uses epidural stimulation and optimization protocols for delivering functional outcomes for the SCI community. We discussed the E-Stand trial, how it's progressing, and highlights from its now eight years of running. We also talk about the FDA and the quandary of determining what is meaningful in the eyes of research participants, as well as with regulators. And we get into spinal cord stimulation data sharing, the exciting horizon of combinatorial therapies, and much, much more. As you will hear on this call, David is a smart, innovative, forward-thinking ally of the SCI community. More info: https://u2fp.org/get-educated/curecast/episode-135.html

In this second part of the conversation, Dr. Scott Sherr returns to unpack one of the most fascinating compounds in modern mitochondrial medicine — methylene blue. Once used as the first FDA-approved antimicrobial drug, methylene blue is now being rediscovered as a powerful mitochondrial optimizer that helps the body both produce and detoxify energy at the same time. Dr. Sherr breaks down how it enhances ATP production, improves focus, endurance, and recovery, and even helps with travel fatigue and brain fog. He explains how methylene blue works at the cellular level, why quality and dosing matter, and clears up common myths and controversies — including its relationship with nitric oxide, serotonin, and safety concerns. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, or anyone seeking more consistent, sustainable energy, this episode will help you understand how to use methylene blue safely and effectively to support performance and longevity.

In this episode, ARK's Cathie Wood and Brett Winton sit down with Sean McClain, Founder and CEO of AbSci, to explore how generative AI is reshaping drug discovery, development timelines, and clinical costs. Sean walks through real-world examples of AI-designed antibodies—such as AbSci's breakthrough HIV antibody and a regenerative treatment for hair loss—and explains how these platforms are helping unlock previously “undruggable” biology.They discuss AbSci's Phase 2-ready hair growth antibody (BS201), the company's partnerships with Caltech and AMD, and why the FDA's evolving embrace of AI could accelerate the end of animal testing. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on the role of regenerative medicine in longevity—and why AI drug discovery might just pull biotech out of its multi-year bear market.Key Points From This Episode:(00:00:00) How AbSci uses generative AI to design antibodies from scratch(00:02:42) HIV, ion channels, and the promise of targeting "undruggable" biology(00:06:28) AbSci's BS201 drug for hair regrowth: mechanism, speed, and cost advantages(00:13:20) Clinical timeline: From concept to Phase 2 readout in 3.5 years(00:15:34) Bringing costs down: $100–150M vs. the industry average of $2.4B(00:17:36) Why AI enables “keys designed for specific locks” in drug targeting(00:22:58) What AbSci's models are trained on—and how prompts work in drug inference(00:25:32) The future of clinical testing: AI replacing animal models(00:36:43) Sarcopenia, strength loss, and regenerative approaches to aging(00:48:10) BS201 as a long-acting pulse therapy—and how it compares to transplants
In this episode, Psychedelic Medicine Podcast host, Dr. Lynn Marie Morski, provides the latest updates from the field of psychedelic medicine. Dr. Morski discusses the breakthrough therapy designation which a number of psychedelic compounds have received in the past few years, the most recent of which is BPL-003, a nasal spray formulation of 5-MeO-DMT. One of the exciting aspects of this new compound, Dr. Morski notes, is that it is shorter-acting than most serotonergic psychedelics—a feature which may make treatment with this substance less expensive and more accessible. Another exciting development is the COMPASS Pathways phase 3 trial of COMP360 psilocybin. Dr. Morski shares that the company believes they are nine to twelve months ahead of schedule, which means that if all goes well, this psilocybin compound could be approved for treatment resistant depression as early as sometime in 2027. She also discusses why the US FDA said they rejected MDMA for PTSD and what this governing body would like to see from subsequent research before reconsidering this decision. In closing, Dr. Morski shares excitement about the development of novel psychoplastogens—the non-hallucinogenic psychedelics—which may help bring many of the same healing benefits to populations currently unable to be served by the existing compounds under investigation. In this episode, you'll hear: Which psychedelics currently have breakthrough therapy designation and for which indications Details of recent ketamine research for inpatient depression care and why these results are not as negative as they may seem The current horizons of psychedelic research and what indications may soon be explored Sources of hope in the current state of psychedelic research and the legal landscape Quotes: "[BPL-003] showed rapid and durable antidepressant outcomes after a single dose. … here we have something that is under an hour [of psychedelic experience] for treatment resistant depression." [7:43] "Keeping patients blinded to whether or not they got the placebo or MDMA is a big focus that [the FDA] wanted to emphasize for these future phase 3 trials." [19:07] "I know we had a big setback last year. I think a lot of us thought by this time we'd be a year into MDMA being approved and we're not. However, there are so many things on the horizon that are worth being excited about."

A mainstream “hit piece” targeting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for linking Tylenol to autism is backfiring. Newly uncovered internal emails reportedly show the drug's manufacturer acknowledging concerns about prenatal Tylenol use and neurodevelopmental disorders. Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing major pharma companies for deceptively marketing Tylenol to pregnant mothers—and ICAN has petitioned the FDA to add pregnancy warnings to acetaminophen labels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.
