I cannot tell you how special this episode feels to me. Laura Galeazzo — who longtime listeners will remember as the very first guest I ever interviewed back in 2016 — is back on the show, and catching up with her brought everything full circle. When I launched this podcast, I was a young mom with two little kids, newly pregnant with my third, dreaming about building something of my own. Laura said yes to being my very first interview when all I had was a microphone, a simple idea, and a whole lot of belief. Since then, she's lived so much life: she's had two babies, become a real estate agent, coached athletes, and continued to chase big goals with the same quiet determination that made her story so compelling in the first place. She's now a 2:49 marathoner and recently ran a huge half marathon PR, breaking through years of self-doubt to rediscover her confidence. I've watched her navigate seasons of grit, seasons without PRs, and seasons where she just kept showing up for herself — and seeing her run her strongest races yet is incredibly inspiring. It feels so right to have her back on the show all these years later, still getting after it and still reminding us what's possible when you keep going.

Today's conversation takes us upstream—to the source—of one of the most pressing and emotionally charged topics in modern pediatrics: the rise in autism spectrum disorders. Autism rates have continued to climb in 2025, but what if much of what we call “the epidemic” isn't simply genetics or better diagnosis, but a reflection of deeper biological, environmental, and developmental changes affecting the human organism before birth? To explore this critical question, I'm joined by three extraordinary clinicians who have dedicated their lives to understanding the roots of children's health and disease. Dr. Sandy Newmark, Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at UCSF, has spent the past two decades at the intersection of conventional and integrative medicine—focusing specifically on children with autism and ADHD. His approach blends deep compassion with scientific rigor, examining how nutrition, toxins, inflammation, and the microbiome shape the developing brain. Dr. Elisa Song, Stanford-, NYU-, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician and author of Healthy Kids, Happy Kids, is one of the leading global voices in pediatric functional medicine. As founder and Chief Medical Officer of Healthy Kids Happy Kids and Tiny Health, she's pioneering microbiome-centered strategies to reverse chronic disease in children and reshape how we think about wellness from the inside out. Dr. Leslie Stone, family physician, obstetrician, and co-founder of GrowBabyHealth.com, brings a lifetime of experience delivering and caring for over 5,000 babies. Her groundbreaking work in the science of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease—the DOHaD model—shows how what happens before and during pregnancy programs a child's long-term health, resilience, and risk for conditions like autism. Together, we'll discuss the emerging evidence that the autism epidemic is not a mystery of genetics alone, but a story written in inflammation, metabolic disruption, environmental exposures, and the developmental stressors of modern life. We'll explore how integrative and functional medicine are reframing prevention—not just treatment—and what it will take to truly turn the tide for the next generation. This is a conversation about hope, science, and the possibility of rewriting the future—one mother, one child, and one generation at a time.

Following her time in academia, Dr. Mumper founded The Rimland Center for Integrative Medicine in Lynchburg, Virginia, a clinic dedicated to children with autism spectrum disorders, PANS/PANDAS, allergies, and complex chronic illnesses.

From aspiring fine artist to co-founding a groundbreaking media company and advising Fortune 500s, Cynthia Nelson's journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity. With more than 25 years leading at the intersection of capital, innovation, and culture, Cynthia has proven herself a powerhouse in entrepreneurship and growth strategy.Her story begins in the unlikeliest of places: a receptionist desk at a computer repair shop in the mid-80s. From there, she witnessed the tech industry's birth, climbed the ranks at Ingram Micro, and navigated the turbulence of early startups, including a devastating betrayal by a business partner. But rather than stepping back, she leaned into every challenge, becoming one of the few Latina women to raise $15 million in private equity and ultimately selling her company Todobebé after a decade of pioneering media, parenting content, and cultural storytelling.Cynthia shares the pivotal lessons that fueled her success, from the importance of listening deeply to your customers, to the courage of saying “yes” to unfamiliar challenges, to the discipline of surrounding yourself with advisors who tell you the hard truths. She reminds us that entrepreneurship is not just about scaling fast, but about staying grounded in what people actually need, not just what founders imagine.Her reflections stretch beyond business into the deeper realities of being a woman in leadership: the sacrifices, the biases, and the double standards that continue to shape the funding landscape. Yet Cynthia's approach is one of fierce generosity, mentoring other women, championing female investors, and encouraging founders to build smarter, more sustainable businesses.This is a story of grit, creativity, and impact, and a masterclass in building with purpose. Tune in to hear Cynthia Nelson's remarkable journey and her wisdom for the next generation of women entrepreneurs.Chapters 

Welcome to Dr. M's Women & Children First Podcast, where we engage with pioneering voices at the intersection of science, healthcare, and the well-being of families. Today, I'm honored to introduce Dr. William Parker, PhD. Dr. Parker is perhaps best known for discovering the function of the human appendix, but his contributions to science extend far beyond that single discovery. He studied biology and chemistry as an undergraduate before earning his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1992. Since the 1980s, he has conducted innovative research, publishing more than 150 peer-reviewed articles that span immune function, microbiome science, and human health. Dr. Parker was the first to compare immune systems in wild animals with those of their laboratory counterparts, and among the first to conclude that changes in the human “biota”, the symbiotic organisms living within us, brought on by modern society can contribute to depression and anxiety. After nearly three decades at Duke University, where he served as associate professor and research leader, he founded WPLab, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to understanding and educating about the causes of chronic inflammatory diseases in high-income societies. Currently a visiting scholar at the University of North Carolina, Dr. Parker collaborates widely with colleagues from Duke University, University of Montreal, Czech Academy of Sciences, University of Groningen, University of Colorado Boulder, and scientists across the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, he has turned his attention to a provocative and urgent question: the potential links between early acetaminophen exposure and autism spectrum outcomes. His current work combines mechanistic and epidemiologic approaches to explore how acetaminophen's effects on human physiology at critical stages of development might influence neurodevelopment. In our conversation, we'll explore: The evidence and hypotheses behind acetaminophen's potential role in autism risk What families and clinicians should know: what's plausible, what remains speculative, and where research is heading next I'm thrilled to share this episode with Dr. Parker, whose intellectual curiosity, scientific rigor, and courage to ask difficult questions embody the spirit of this show.

Hilleman Professorship of Vaccinology at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Offit is a globally recognized expert in virology and immunology. He has served on the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. He's co-editor of the seminal vaccine textbook Vaccines, and for decades has been one of the clearest scientific voices defending evidence, transparency, and children's health. This week, we'll dig into COVID, vaccine policy, and what's ahead for children in light of the latest shifts. Among current headlines: Healthy children and pregnant women are no longer being uniformly recommended for COVID vaccines by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a decision that's stirring debate among pediatricians and public health experts like Dr. Offit. He's sharply voiced concerns about removing key vaccine recommendations without new data, and about the broader implications of loosening vaccine guidance for the public good. In this conversation, we'll cover: What the science says now about bivalent COVID vaccines in kids How recent policy changes affect vaccine access, trust, and safety What parents need to know—what's changed, what's stable, and what remains uncertain This is my third time talking with Dr. Offit, and as always, I expect you'll leave with clarity, evidence, and questions worth sharing. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Let's dive in. Dr. M

“Noncompliance isn't just risky—it can mean lost licenses, lost trust, and lost business,” says Joe Garner of dmarcian. At the MSP Summit in Orlando, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, caught up with Garner and colleague Billy Muldoon to discuss why DMARC—the standard for authenticating email—should be a top priority for MSPs and their clients. Founded by Tim Draegen, the primary author of DMARC, dmarcian's mission is to spread adoption of the open standard across the email ecosystem. DMARC builds on earlier protocols (SPF and DKIM) by providing visibility, daily reports, and strong policy enforcement—giving organizations the ability to stop phishing and spoofing attacks at the domain level. For MSPs, the opportunity is clear: DMARC not only protects customer brands but also creates billable project work and recurring revenue streams. By moving client domains from “none” to “reject” policies, MSPs can deliver compliance, reduce support tickets, and demonstrate measurable value. Muldoon emphasized that while AI dominates industry headlines, DNS and email remain critical points of vulnerability. “Email is still the biggest attack vector,” he said. “MSPs can't overlook DMARC—it's both a defensive necessity and a revenue opportunity.” With Google, Yahoo, and now Microsoft requiring DMARC alignment for bulk senders, enterprises must act or risk delivery failures. dmarcian provides MSPs with the tools to visualize mail streams, track compliance, and guide customers through the journey to strong DMARC policies.

“XSponse is a full ecosystem built on a network-based system using PoE and BLE technology,” says Blake Albertsen, VP of Sales at XSponse, in an interview with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, during ScanSource Partner First. Albertsen highlighted XSponse's integrated security and communications platform, which combines wearable technology, wall-mounted devices, and advanced detection capabilities. The ecosystem is designed for deployment in schools, hospitals, corrections, hospitality, and casinos, offering both large-scale and small-footprint solutions. One key feature is XSponse's wearable badge technology, which provides immediate safety alerts. With a triple-button press, the badge triggers LED and vibration feedback, sends alerts through the network, and can even dispatch 911 calls to on-site security officers. The devices also support full audio intercom functions and include built-in cameras with electromagnetic shutters for privacy. XSponse extends beyond personal safety with unique environmental monitoring capabilities, including a vape detector that integrates into HVAC systems to identify vaping and other anomalies such as methane, carbon monoxide, and various toxins. Albertsen emphasized that the system is designed to integrate directly into existing security infrastructures, giving organizations a robust, scalable platform to enhance safety, communication, and real-time incident response.

“We are now branding ourselves as the trusted infrastructure supporter of AI,” says Scott Eaton, Sr. Director, Partner Management at Lumen, in a conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, during ScanSource Partner First. Eaton explained that Lumen, built on the combined legacies of CenturyLink, Level 3, Savvis, and Global Crossing, has transitioned from its telco roots into a technology company focused on powering AI with bandwidth and infrastructure services. Through solutions like wave services, DIA services, data centers, and rapid routes, Lumen provides the backbone for enterprises facing high-intensity data demands. At Partner First, the company highlighted its long-standing partnership with Intelisys, now part of ScanSource, where it has operated for over 20 years in an agency model of recurring commissions. Eaton emphasized that Lumen enables resellers to expand beyond equipment sales and deliver complete customer solutions—moving from “mailbox money” to strategic recurring revenue streams. To simplify adoption, Lumen and ScanSource provide partners with API-driven quoting and ordering tools, training, and field engineering support. This ensures that partners can more easily engage in infrastructure sales, which Eaton described as essential for AI-era growth: “From an AI perspective, it's all about the data… and the high bandwidth requirements to support it.” Eaton noted that partners at the show are eager to learn how to get started, educate themselves, and go deeper with customers. He encouraged resellers to leverage both Lumen's resources and ScanSource's support teams to accelerate success. For more information, visit lumen.com.

“To boldly go where no SIM has gone before.” That was the theme at the Advantix booth during ScanSource Partner First, where Ansley Hoke, Senior Vice President of ScanSource's Integrated Solutions Group (ISG), joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss the company's expanding role in wireless connectivity. Hoke explained that Advantix, now part of ScanSource's ISG, is the multi-carrier wireless connectivity arm of the business, designed to help partners extend connectivity beyond the four walls with WAN-enabled devices. Through ScanSource's distribution facilities, partners can provision physical SIMs or eSIMs directly into devices, kit them, and ship them to end customers—streamlining deployment and reducing friction. The integration of Advantix into ISG reflects ScanSource's commitment to delivering recurring revenue services and enabling partners to compete more effectively in the growing mobility market. With Advantix's always-on, multi-carrier SmartSIM technology, end users are assured seamless connectivity regardless of carrier or coverage area. To simplify adoption, Advantix provides a full suite of enablement resources and training videos, alongside a revamped website to support partners with onboarding and activation. As Hoke emphasized, “It is really seamless on being able to onboard quickly and get the activations working out of the box.” For more information, visit scansource.com or explore resources directly at advantixsolutions.com.

Welcome back to Dr. M's Women and Children First podcast where we look at the world of Women and Children's Health through an anthropological lens with the humble understanding that we have a lot to learn. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Joel “Dr. Gator” Warsh, a pediatrician, author, and advocate for a whole-child approach to healthcare. Dr. Warsh earned his medical degree from Thomas Jefferson Medical College and completed his pediatric residency at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Along the way, he also obtained a Master's degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from Queen's University in Canada, giving him a strong foundation in both clinical care and population health. These educational pursuits make him uniquely suited for today's conversation on vaccines. He is the author of Between a Shot and a Hard Place. In his own words, he says: I've dedicated my career to helping families navigate complicated health topics with clarity. My book addresses vaccine questions in a calm, data-driven, and practical way, offering parents guidance that steers clear of extremes. Parents face unprecedented pressure to make the "right" choices, often without enough balanced information. He has been featured on major platforms sharing his message with more than 400,000 parents through social media. We discuss his passion for empowering families to make informed, individualized decisions, including in areas that have been challenging or even taboo to discuss. Today, we'll dive into his latest work, his perspectives on vaccines and preventative care, and how he envisions a future of pediatrics that is proactive rather than reactive. This is a conversation about rethinking the foundations of child health and it's one you won't want to miss. Enjoy, Dr. M

Today's guest is Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a powerful voice at the crossroads of advanced interventional cardiology and root-cause wellness. Dr. Bhojraj is board-certified in Cardiovascular Diseases and Interventional Cardiology, and one of only a small number of interventional cardiologists in the United States who is also certified in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Bhojraj earned his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, trained in internal medicine at Northwestern, and completed a cardiology fellowship at the renowned Henry Ford Health System. For over two decades, he practiced in conventional cardiology, saving lives daily with stents, angioplasties, and transcatheter valve replacements. But along the way, something essential began to stir. He found himself asking bigger questions: Why do people arrive in the cath lab in the first place? Why are we not doing more to prevent the first or second heart event? And what role do nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional health truly play in long-term cardiovascular outcomes? These questions led Dr. Bhojraj to Functional Medicine, not as an alternative, but as an evolution, a model that restores agency to patients and equips the body to heal through comprehensive lifestyle optimization. He now leads the Well12 Program, a transformational experience that guides individuals in upgrading the foundational systems of their health from metabolism to mindset, so they can live not just longer, but better. Today, Dr. Bhojraj and I explore the remarkable protein Klotho and the emerging science linking it to human longevity and health span. This is a conversation you won't want to miss, a glimpse into what may become a defining frontier in upstream disease prevention. Enjoy, Dr. M
