Send us Fan MailHow omega-3 fats in human health, including dietary intake needs, supplements, & omega fat testing.TOPICS DISCUSSED:ω-3 chemistry: EPA and DHA differ from plant ALA in chain length and double-bond count, making them structurally and biologically distinct — and largely irreplaceable by ALA conversion.ALA-to-EPA/DHA conversion: A small percentage of dietary ALA converts to EPA, and conversion to DHA is even lower; vegans rely on this inefficient pathway for all long-chain omega-3s.Cardiovascular mechanisms: ω-3s lower triglycerides, reduce platelet stickiness, improve endothelial function, and slow resting heart rate, reducing cardiovascular risk.ω-3 Index: Defined as red blood cell EPA+DHA as a percent of total fatty acids; 8–12% is the target range, while most Americans sit around 4–5%.Brain & dementia risk: Higher DHA blood levels are associated with significantly lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's in large cohorts including the UK Biobank and Framingham.Linoleic acid nuance: Higher blood levels of dietary linoleic acid (omega-6) associate with lower dementia and cardiovascular risk; downstream omega-6 metabolites — not linoleic acid itself — associate with adverse outcomes.Supplementation practicalities: Most people need 1–2 g/day of EPA+DHA to reach an ω-3 Index >8%; oxidation concerns with fish oil supplements may be overstated.ABOUT THE GUEST: Bill Harris, PhD is founder of both OmegaQuant Laboratory and the Fatty Acid Research Institute (Sioux Falls, SD), where his work centers on blood fatty acid biomarkers as predictors of disease risk in large population cohort studies.KNOW YOURSELF:OmegaQuant: At-home blood testing to see fatty acid profiles, including omega-3 fatty acids.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Nixdorff, Internist, Kardiologe, Sportmediziner und Gründer des European Prevention Center (EPC) in Düsseldorf, über die Todesursache Nummer 1 in Europa: Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Allein in Deutschland sterben jedes Jahr rund 345.000 Menschen am Herzinfarkt, und 60 bis 80 Prozent davon, bevor sie überhaupt im Krankenhaus ankommen. Gleichzeitig zeigen große Studien wie die Inter Heart Trial, dass sich rund 80 Prozent dieser Infarkte vermeiden ließen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum das klassische Belastungs-EKG für die Früherkennung längst nicht mehr ausreicht, was es mit der gefährlichen vulnerablen Plaque auf sich hat und warum nur moderne Bildgebung sie sichtbar macht. Prof. Nixdorff erklärt seinen evidenzbasierten Algorithmus, von der sorgfältigen Risikofaktoren-Anamnese über Pulswellenanalyse, Funduskopie und Age-Scan bis zum Herz-CT, das seit Kurzem auch von der Kasse für die Früherkennung anerkannt ist. Wir sprechen über Blutdruck-Zielwerte, die drei Säulen Bewegung, Ernährung und Entspannung, sinnvolle Wearables wie Continuous Glucose Monitoring und über die Frage, warum Selbstverantwortung in der Prävention so entscheidend ist. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Warum die Letalität bei Herzinfarkt zurückgeht, die Morbidität aber steigt, und was das für den Healthspan bedeutet? - Was ist eine vulnerable Plaque, warum ist sie so tückisch und weshalb erkennt sie ein klassisches Belastungs-EKG nicht? - Wie sich die Pathophysiologie eines Herzinfarkts in zwei Minuten verstehen lässt, von Noxen über LDL-Oxidation bis zur Ruptur der Deckplatte? - Warum rund 80 Prozent der Herzinfarkte vermeidbar wären und was das für unser Gesundheitssystem bedeuten würde? - Welche Risikofaktoren laut Framingham und Inter Heart Trial wirklich zählen und welche Rolle psychosozialer Stress dabei spielt? - Warum der Body Mass Index nicht ideal ist und der Taillenumfang die deutlich aussagekräftigere Messgröße darstellt? - Was Pulswellenanalyse, Augmentationsindex und Pulswellengeschwindigkeit über die Arteriensteifigkeit verraten und welche dieser Werte reversibel sind? - Wie der Age-Scan über die Maillard-Reaktion sichtbar macht, was die Verzuckerung von Proteinen mit Atherosklerose zu tun hat? - Weshalb der Augenhintergrund einen arteriellen Hypertonus oft schon ein bis zwei Jahre vor der Manifestation anzeigt? - Wie sich Calcium-Scoring und kontrastmittelgestütztes Herz-CT unterscheiden und warum Letzteres den diagnostischen Herzkatheter weitgehend ersetzen kann? - Warum Stentimplantationen im stabilen Fall laut Studien wie ISCHEMIA und ORBITA prognostisch oft keinen Vorteil bringen? - Welche drei Lebensstil-Säulen die kardiologische Prävention tragen und welche Rolle Wearables wie CGM und Aura Ring dabei spielen?

Send us Fan MailThis episode will cover a fascinating and little known period in the art history of Paris as told in the book titled: "The Club - Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris". I will interview Jennifer Dasal, author of the book, who will share fascinating highlights. You will learn about what was essentially a boarding house in Paris that supported a generation of independent American women artists as early as 1893 for a number of decades. These women were a broad mixture of artists - in all fields of artistic talents - painters, sculptors, etc. The "Club" allowed them the opportunity to interact with other famous and established artists like Mary Cassatt and Auguste Rodin. I was interested in "The Club", since my book, the biography of miniature portrait artist, Amalia Kussner - covered a similar time period. And there was indeed some interesting overlap in content between the two books - such as with sculptor Auguste Rodin.Note: Some of the works of the impressive sculptor, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, who is discussed in this episode, can be seen at the Danforth Museum, in Framingham, MA.Jennifer's Website link is here or www.jenniferdasal.com.

Jon Marshall is the head football coach and athletic director at Randolph High School, where he has transformed the Blue Devils into one of the top high school football programs in Massachusetts. A Marine Corps veteran, educator, and culture-builder, Marshall is widely respected for his leadership both on and off the field. Since taking over the program in 2018, Marshall has led Randolph to historic success, including the school's first-ever state championship in 2021 and multiple Super Bowl appearances. Under his leadership, the Blue Devils have developed a reputation for toughness, discipline, and a dominant rushing attack, while also emphasizing academic excellence—famously noting that a large portion of his team regularly earns honor roll recognition. Marshall's coaching philosophy is rooted in accountability and effort, captured in his program's mantra: “Winners do more.” That mindset has helped turn Randolph into a perennial contender and a model program built on character and consistency. Before arriving at Randolph, Marshall served in the U.S. Marine Corps and later built his coaching résumé at programs like Framingham and Holliston, while also working as a history teacher. His military background and upbringing—heavily influenced by his father, a hardworking veteran—continue to shape his leadership style and commitment to developing young men beyond football. Marshall's impact has earned him statewide and regional recognition, including the New England Patriots High School Coach of the Year award and multiple Coach of the Week honors. Today, Jon Marshall is more than just a football coach—he's a mentor, educator, and program architect who has built Randolph football into a championship culture grounded in discipline, resilience, and pride.

Dr. Adam Urato, Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center, spent decades on the front lines of obstetric care before he couldn't ignore what the data was showing. In this episode, he walks Drs. May and Tim through the rise and fall of Makena — a drug prescribed to prevent preterm birth that was ultimately pulled by the FDA in 2023 after being proven ineffective — and connects it to a larger pattern of flawed trials, minimized risks, and industry-driven guidelines that have shaped standard obstetric care for years. Dr. Urato then turns to SSRIs, now taken by roughly 1 in 10 pregnant women. He breaks down what the research actually shows about how these drugs cross the placenta, disrupt fetal serotonin pathways, and may impact long-term brain development in children — findings that rarely make it into the exam room conversation. He also addresses the fierce pushback from major medical organizations after an FDA advisory panel hearing, and why he believes the response had more to do with protecting a narrative than protecting patients. The throughline: informed consent is broken in obstetrics, and fixing it starts with physicians being willing to say the uncomfortable things out loud. GUEST BIO Dr. Adam Urato is the Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts — the same hospital where he was born. A Harvard Medical School graduate with nearly 30 years of experience caring for high-risk pregnancies, Dr. Urato has become one of medicine's most outspoken voices on pharmaceutical safety in obstetrics. He has testified before the FDA, written and lectured extensively on antidepressant use during pregnancy, and played a key role in exposing the failures of Makena.

Send a textKristin Ruud is the founder of Northern Classics, an outdoor clothing brand that blends timeless, elevated aesthetics with high-performance technical outerwear for kids. A University of Michigan business school graduate, Kristin's career took her through financial consulting, hedge fund management, and commercial construction before an entrepreneurial spark and three kids under one and a half during COVID led her to launch Northern Classics. In this episode, Kristin shares how she identified a gap in the children's ski apparel market: technical gear that was either purely functional or purely cute, but never both. Kristin opens up about the challenges of building a brand from scratch with no apparel background, the power of community and customer feedback, and what it's like to see her designs "in the wild" on the slopes out west. As a mom of four (twins almost 7, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old), Kristin brings both personal credibility and infectious joy to everything she creates.Notable Quotes:"I always say I'm selling — I am my own customer.""I try really hard to keep my kids at the forefront.

Evan Marinofsky and Patrick Donnelly focus on Massachusetts postseason hockey. They review MIAA boys Division 1 seeding (Catholic Memorial No. 1, Xaverian No. 2, St. John's Prep No. 3, Arlington No. 4) and discuss potential sleepers including Reading, Wachusett, Framingham, Marshfield, Weymouth and a deep Pope Francis run, with Evan picking CM over Pope Francis in the final. They then break down MIAA girls Division 1 depth and Pat's bracket picks (Bishop Fenwick over NDA; Methuen/Tewksbury reaching the final quadrant), plus Division 2 picks highlighting Westwood, Milton, Duxbury and King Philip with Pat selecting Milton to win. The show shifts to boys prep, citing Salisbury's dominant win over Avon and changes in the Elite 8 picture, plus Avon's six-game skid.

This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn takes a deep dive into one of the most influential research projects in cardiovascular history: the Framingham Heart Study. Launched in 1948 and still going strong, this landmark study helped identify many of the risk factors we now take for granted, including smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and physical inactivity. Much of what modern cardiology considers "common knowledge" about prevention started in Framingham. Dr. Kahn also explores practical and emerging topics in heart health, including the role of magnesium and berberine supplementation, how to approach both low-carb and low-fat diets in a healthy way, and concerns about long-term proton pump inhibitor use. Additional discussion covers EECP therapy and strategies to improve coronary blood flow, along with the potential benefits of ezetimibe for cholesterol reduction and brain health.

We're revisiting one of our most meaningful conversations — with Olympic gold medalist, ski mom, and mental performance coach Barbara Cochran.Why now? On February 11, 1972, Barbara won Olympic gold in slalom in Sapporo by just .02 seconds. And 54 years to the day later, her son, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, won Olympic silver in Super-G in Cortina.An Olympic legacy — built on a Vermont rope tow.Barbara grew up skiing at her family's backyard hill, now known as Cochran's Ski Area — a nonprofit, community-driven mountain where lift tickets are still affordable, race training happens under the lights, and hot chocolate costs $1.50.We talk about:Growing up in a ski racing familyTraining on the legendary rope towThe “Cochran Way” philosophy of excellence without pressureRaising an Olympian as a single momAnd the mindset that wins medalsBarbara's father believed skiing should be joyful — but that striving for excellence builds character. Before sports psychology was mainstream, Barbara was practicing it. Heading into her Olympic race, she repeated:“I don't know if I'm going to win, but I know I'm capable of winning.”That mindset carried her to gold — and now informs her work helping athletes who “train better than they race” learn to compete with confidence.We also talk about the financial realities of ski racing, how Ryan nearly declined his U.S. Ski Team nomination due to cost, and Ski Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.  Located in Woburn & Framingham, MA and Tax-Free Salem, NH.

In this episode Nicole talks with Jill Brabec, President of Nordic Combined USA, about one of the Olympics' oldest sports that still excludes women. Nordic Combined blends ski jumping and cross country skiing, requiring athletes to launch themselves down steep terrain at maximum speed, fly the length of a football field, then immediately race 5K on skinny skis. Despite being in the Olympics since 1924, women were denied entry to the 2026 Games. Jill, a Steamboat Springs ski mom turned advocate, formed a nonprofit with other parents to save the US team when funding collapsed. Her daughter Alexa trains in Norway but can't compete in the Olympics due to gender restrictions. The IOC will decide about 2030 inclusion this spring after reviewing 2026 data. Jill draws parallels to women's ski jumping, which faced identical arguments 15 years ago and is now successful. She encourages fans to watch men's Nordic Combined February 11, 17, and 19 to show viewership demand, sign the petition at nordiccombineusa.org, and follow athletes on social media. The sport features 17 World Cups for women who jump the same hills as men and train at Lake Placid, Park City, and Steamboat Springs.

Nikki Bruno learned early in her career that debates over climate change – and how to respond – are seldom black and white. Progress comes from honest discourse and collaboration.At Eversource, where she leads the utility's thermal solutions and operational services, Nikki manages a geothermal project that has brought together environmental activists, the utility's gas infrastructure team, ratepayers, and government leaders in Framingham, Mass. The result is the first utility-led geothermal network in the country, which came online in 2024.This week on With Great Power, Nikki Bruno describes how the gas and electric utility Eversource uses geothermal energy to power 140 homes and businesses. She talks about challenges and successes of the project, how Eversource is now expanding it with Energy Department funding, and how the utility is measuring success.Credits: Hosted by Brad Langley.

This week on The American Family Farmer, the tables were turned as longtime host Doug Stephan stepped into the guest seat to share the story of his beloved Eastleigh Farm in Framingham, Massachusetts. Joining him as interviewer was his close friend and Radio Hall of Fame inductee Mike McVay of McVay Media, creating a warm, insightful conversation rooted in friendship, farming, and preservation.Doug reflected on his lifelong connection to agriculture, tracing his love of farming back to his childhood growing up in the neighborhood surrounding Eastleigh Farm. He shared how those early experiences shaped not only his personal values but also his commitment to preserving farmland at a time when open space across New England has increasingly been lost to development. The conversation explored the rich and fascinating history of Eastleigh Farm, which spans more than a century and sits on land farmed for over 250 years. From its early 1900s origins and unique ties to the Beebe family, to its later preservation as protected open space, Eastleigh Farm has continually evolved while remaining a cornerstone of the Framingham community. Doug discussed his 2002 decision to purchase the property to prevent development and ensure agriculture could continue on the land he loved.We also learn about the farm's modern transformation—from a traditional dairy operation to a cow sanctuary and educational farm. Doug explained the difficult decision to step away from raw milk production and how that pivotal moment led him to “think outside the box” to keep the farm viable. Today, Eastleigh Farm is a vibrant animal sanctuary and community destination, featuring artisan shops, family events, historic barns, and seasonal favorites like the iconic Moo Bus ice cream. Mike and Doug wrapped up the episode by discussing the realities of day-to-day life on the farm, from the intensity of peak season to the quieter rhythms of the off-season, and the year-round care required for cows and other animals. At its heart, this episode is a story about stewardship—of land, history, animals, and community—and a powerful reminder of why family farms matter now more than ever.

In this episode, the Ski Moms welcome Chemmy Alcott, a British former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in all five disciplines and represented Great Britain at four Olympic Games. Growing up in London, Chemmy's journey to elite ski racing is extraordinary, she trained on eight-second dry ski slopes made of plastic "hairbrushes" and at age 10 convinced her parents to let her travel alone to New Zealand for two months of training, a pattern she continued for eight years.Chemmy opens up about skiing at only 80% capacity for eight years due to fear of failure before her breakthrough at Sölden, where she embraced 100% effort and risk-taking. After coming within 1.8 seconds of an Olympic medal at Sochi 2014, her surgeon's warning about potential leg amputation led to her retirement. Now a mother of two boys (ages 8 and 6), she's achieved her childhood dream as presenter of BBC's iconic Ski Sunday and co-founded Carpe Diem Coaching with her husband Dougie, running camps across Europe for ages 6 to 89 focused on building confidence and resilience. She also founded Swiss Mountain Rescue after discovering CBD and meditation eliminated her chronic pain in just two weeks after 10 years of suffering.Resources:Carpe Diem Coaching: https://www.cdcperform.com/Instagram: @chemmyskiBBC Ski SundaySwiss Mountain Rescue (health and wellness brand)Imbrace (compression leggings)Key Quotes:"I always say that I was made to be a ski racer.

In this episode, we tackle a topic that's been the elephant in the room of the ski world: fear. We sit down with Dr. Carol Porter, a Snowsport England coach with 20 years of experience and a PhD in pedagogical philosophies, and Kimberley Kay, author of the beloved "Ski A to Z" book and advocate for women in snow sports.Together, they reveal findings from their Fear Project research study that surveyed women globally about anxiety and fear in skiing. The results are eye-opening: 62% of women report that fear or anxiety affects their enjoyment when skiing, with mothers experiencing the highest levels of fear. The conversation explores why women's participation in skiing is dropping below 40% in the US, the unique fears mothers face on the slopes, and practical, research-backed strategies for rebuilding confidence after injury or setbacks.From breathing techniques to choosing quieter resorts to working with mindset coaches, Carol and Kimberley offer actionable advice for any ski mom who's lost her nerve or joy on the mountain. They also share exciting news about their presentation at the inaugural World Women's Snow Sports Summit and their ongoing work to make the ski industry more responsive to women's needs through visual safety education and industry advocacy.ResourcesWebsite: Kimberley Kay  Website: Dr Carol Porter: https://jeaniusski.com/ski-fearless/"Suddenly having responsibility for more people who don't have the same awareness of what could go wrong, and then knowing that if anything happens to me, well, who's gonna get them to school?" — Dr. Carol Porter"No one can learn when they're scared.

Subscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@LiveHolPlus/Cardiovascular disease is still the number one killer, yet guidelines keep pushing cholesterol lower and more people are put on statins for life. In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with worlds leading nitric oxide researcher Dr. Nathan S. Bryan to ask hard questions about statin risk versus benefit, why cholesterol alone does not explain heart disease, and what is nitric oxide actually doing inside the body long before a heart attack or stroke. Together, they explore why low or no nitric oxide may be the missing piece behind rising blood pressure, plaque, and dementia, even in people who “follow the rules.”From the benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, diabetes, and brain health to the surprising impact of antiseptic mouthwash and antacid medications, this conversation reframes cardiovascular and metabolic disease as problems of cell signaling, not just lab numbers. You will learn what nitric oxide is, what does nitric oxide do for the body, why nitric oxide importance is often ignored in standard care, and how to raise nitric oxide through lifestyle, targeted support, and emerging restorative therapies based on decades of nitric oxide research.Dr. Taz and Dr. Bryan discuss:New cholesterol guidelines, statins, and rethinking risk vs benefitWhat is nitric oxide and what does nitric oxide do for the bodyWhy low or no nitric oxide shows up decades before heart attacks and strokeThe benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, and sexual functionNitric oxide diabetes link and why insulin resistance is often a nitric oxide problemMouthwash and nitric oxide, antacids, fluoride, and the oral microbiomeHow lifestyle, diet, movement, and nasal breathing raise nitric oxide naturallyWhy standard biomarkers are late and vascular function should be tested soonerNitric oxide importance in Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain blood flowHow to raise nitric oxide safely and what to know about supplements vs “dead beets”About Dr. Nathan S. Bryan Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is a pioneering nitric oxide researcher, molecular medicine scientist, and biotech entrepreneur whose discoveries helped create a billion dollar nitric oxide market. His work has reshaped how we understand cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, nitric oxide diabetes links, and how lifestyle, mouthwash and nitric oxide, and common drugs impact long term health. He is the author of The Secret of Nitric Oxide, where he breaks down what nitric oxide is, what nitric oxide does for the body, and how to raise nitric oxide safely at home using science based tools and lifestyle shifts.

Tonight on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into an episode that defies logic, science, and perhaps even sanity itself. What begins as an innocent search for stories takes a delirious turn into the realm of the impossible—where forgotten lakes hide secrets older than the world above, and abandoned laboratories harbor creations that should never have drawn breath. In this double-feature of vintage madness, two long-buried tales rise from the depths to confront the limits of human understanding. Explorers push too far into the unknown. Scientists challenge the laws of nature itself. And when the earth finally answers, it answers with teeth. Expect the unexpected. Question everything. "The Monster of Lake Lametrie" by Wardon Allan Curtis – High in the Wyoming mountains lies a lake whispered about in old journals and frontier legends—a place where ancient things still move beneath the black water. When Professor McLennegan and his ailing companion Framingham arrive in search of scientific discovery and fresh mountain air, they instead encounter forces that defy biology, reason, and sanity. As strange upheavals churn the lake and impossible creatures rise to the surface, the professor is drawn toward an experiment that could change the boundaries of life itself. A haunting tale of obsession and awe, this story delves into the price of curiosity—and the thin line between discovery and madness. "The Day of the Dragon" by Guy Endore – Long dismissed by his colleagues and pushed to the margins of academia, Professor Paul Crabshaw dreams of vindication. His quiet resentment turns to dangerous ambition when he embarks on a secret experiment meant to revolutionize biology—but instead awakens something far older, stronger, and infinitely more terrifying than he could have imagined. As the consequences ripple outward, a lone witness recounts the bizarre chain of events that began in a dusty laboratory and spiraled into a nightmare beyond human control. A darkly comedic yet chilling exploration of scientific hubris, this tale asks what happens when myth takes flight… and the world becomes its feeding ground.

Chris Hill created a concept of eco-luxury vacations that include philanthropic volunteering. The vision began in 2002, during a trip to South Africa, where he helped build a home for a local family. Hands Up Holidays That experience was more fulfilling than his successful finance career in London, inspiring him to pursue a new path. He launched Hands Up Holidays, which later included this additonal concierge service for Impact Destinations. Impact Destinations – EcoLuxury His background in finance became an advantage — many of his former colleagues became early investors. For over 20 years, Impact Destinations has curated hands-on philanthropic travel experiences for families. Chris recognized a growing trend among his clients: many families are "cash rich and time poor." Parents want their children to have meaningful experiences that build empathy, compassion, and global awareness. Families now seek out Chris specifically to design philanthropic eco-luxury vacations. Examples of unique, hands-on volunteer experiences include:
 Working with wildlife experts to rescue a rhinoceros from poachers and relocate it to a protected sanctuary. Traveling to Baja, California, to release newly hatched sea turtles into the ocean, supporting marine conservation. Every itinerary emphasizes sustainability, including:
 Eco-lodges sourced from local and renewable materials Clean-burning stove projects that eliminate open-flame cooking and reduce respiratory illnesses Impact Destinations and Hands Up Holidays prove that travel can be luxurious for the traveler — and life-changing for others.   RESOURCES Preview YouTube video About Impact Destinations - transformational luxury travel Chris Hill and His Journey Creating HandsUpHolidays and Impact Destinations   https://youtu.be/9RvAFlFg-8g?si=qOTApDLk4x_KcxR0     Chris Hill's FIRST philanthropic travel brand  Hands Up Holidays search here for exquisite Eco Luxury lodgings: Costa Rica leads the world in its commitment to eco-luxury, with a large number of sublime properties, including Kasiiya, El Silencio, Lapa Rios, and Pacuare Lodge.

In the 80's and 90's eight women living in Massachusetts had murdered their abusive partners. Most had claimed "Battered Woman Syndrome" as their defense. This lowered many of their charges from murder to manslaughter. In the 1990's these women, after all meeting at a prison domestic abuse support group, petitioned the court for an early release.

Debra had to fight extra hard because it was incredulous to everyone else how a lesbian could suffer battered woman syndrome.

On July 21st 2025, the FDA convened a hearing on maternal use of antidepressants during pregnancy and the impact this use has on fetal development. Around 400,000 children in the United States are born each year whose mothers took antidepressants while pregnant, and so it's easy to see the societal importance of this topic. What are the risks to the fetus, the newborn, and the long-term development of that child? Adam Urato and Joanna Moncrieff were members of that FDA panel, and so too were several others well-known to MIA readers, including David Healy and Joseph Witt-Doerring. The purpose of the panel was to assess whether the FDA needed to put a warning on antidepressants related to their use in pregnancy, and most on the panel spoke of research that told of the need to do so. However, after the panel concluded, the American Psychiatric Association and other medical associations, most notably the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, responded with what can only be described as howls of outrage, issuing press releases and telling the public that the panel was biased and that the real risk during pregnancy was untreated mental illness. These medical organizations asserted that the increased risk of adverse outcomes for children born to depressed mothers is due to the illness and not the drug, and that there was plenty of evidence that antidepressants were a helpful and even life-saving treatment for maternal depression. Here is where we are today. That FDA hearing put two narratives on public display, and most media reports embraced the narrative put forth by the medical organizations. What we will do today is review the evidence that exists on this topic and the response by the medical guilds to a public airing of that evidence. Dr. Adam Urato is Chief of Maternal and Fetal Medicine at the Metro West Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts, and he has been speaking and writing about the risk of medications used during pregnancy for years. Dr. Joanna Moncrieff is a UK psychiatrist and researcher who was a co-founder of the Critical Psychiatry Network and is well known for her research on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Lisa Davidson is an ironworker with Local 377 San Francisco. Her team currently does ironwork on the Golden Gate Bridge. But we'll get to that. In this episode, S8 E3, meet and get to know Lisa. I first did that back in May at our Keep It Local art show at Babylon Burning (thanks, Mike and Judy!). Someone at the party that night approached me to let me know that there was a person there who works on the best bridge in the world (fact) and that I should meet them. I love when people really get me. Right away, I was drawn in by Lisa's warmth, charm, and sense of humor. And so we sat down outside in Fort Mason in early August and Lisa shared her life story. She was raised feeling like she had complete freedom. It was something Lisa didn't realize at the time, but looking back, it became clear to her. She was raised in Framingham, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, in a liberal household. Her grandparents lived in Boston itself, and she loved visiting them when she was a kid. Her grandfather ran a tchotchke store in town called House of Hurwitz, and Lisa says that the place had a big influence on her outlook. It was located on the edge of what they call, to this day, the “Combat Zone” (think: red-light district). Her “wheelin' and dealin'” grandpa sold mylar balloons to the Boston Gardens for events held there. He told young Lisa that she could blow up balloons and that that could be her future. Lisa has a brother four years younger than she is. Her dad was an electrician. One of his clients was a lithograph press in Boston. He'd sometimes get paged for a job and have to leave his family, although Lisa now wonders whether he just wanted to get away from time to time. When she was a senior in high school, her parents divorced, despite being a very loving couple up to that point. She says her mom was “crazy in an I Love Lucy way. She was raised in the Fifties the way many young women at that time were, in a way that did its best to stifle any creativity. Suffice to say that her mom had fun decorating the house Lisa grew up in. Despite her and her family's Jewishness, Lisa revolted and wanted to go to Catholic school or just become a preppy L.L. Bean-type kid. She of course regrets rejecting the norms of her family nowadays. It was what it was. The family was more culturally Jewish than religious, though, something Lisa says was a huge influence on who she's become as an adult. She graduated high school and went to college at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. It wasn't Ivy League, but it was (and is) something of a preppy school. Where Lisa grew up, there was an expectation that kids would go to college, and so she went. It wasn't super far from home, but it wasn't close either. Her parents did suggest that Lisa maybe go to art school. But in her family, it was the kid dismissing that idea. “That's a not real school,” young Lisa told them. She liked sports. At Amherst, she joined the crew team. She liked the competition and how good of shape it got you in. She liked it, but it was a lot of pressure. She graduated, took a year off working odd jobs, then dove into art school. So next up was Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). She was surprised she got in, and even navigated a bit of impostor syndrome. Surprised by the school's acceptance of her and feeling somewhat intimidated by other artist students, Lisa ended up doing printmaking. Rather than aiming for a master's degree, she sought a second bachelor's. Her studies had her spending a lot of time in the school's foundry, where she discovered welding. She loved it. During her time back in Amherst, she'd heard of a guy who was going to Alaska. (Lisa and I go off-topic into our shared distaste for camping at this point in the conversation.) Back to the Alaska story, her mom was fully supportive and even took her shopping at an Army Navy store. She went there and worked in canneries through the summer between her junior and senior years at Amherst. While she was up north, doing jobs all over the state, she met folks from California. From the stories they told her, it became a place she wanted to go. But first, RISD. In Rhode Island, she met a guy from Danville in the East Bay. When his family learned of her interest in our state, they invited Lisa to spend a summer with them, which she did. And she and her friend came to The City as often as they could. After those few months, she knew that California—and specifically, The Bay—was for her. She needed to go back and finish that second round of college in Rhode Island, and she did. After that, Lisa “beelined it” back to Oakland. She found work in a prop shop making sculptures out of foam with a chainsaw. Check back this Thursday for Part 2 with Lisa Davidson.

Send us a textHave you ever met someone who says they can hear perfectly fine, but still struggles to understand speech, especially in noisy environments? That puzzling disconnect might be explained by Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) – a condition affecting what our brains do with the sounds our ears detect.Dr. Angela Alexander reveals a startling finding from the Framingham cohort study: approximately 20% of adults who report hearing difficulties actually have normal hearing test results. These individuals aren't imagining their struggles – they're experiencing processing issues that standard hearing tests don't capture. "We used to think about auditory processing in terms of people who had no hearing loss whatsoever," Dr. Alexander explains, "but it is also possible to have hearing loss and processing problems." This insight opens new possibilities for helping people who have hearing aids but aren't getting the improvements they expected.The conversation takes a serious turn when discussing the profound psychological impact of undiagnosed CAPD. People with this condition often withdraw from social situations, creating isolation that contributes to our national loneliness epidemic. Dr. Alexander shares a practical screening tool – the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) – that can help identify potential CAPD cases by measuring the mismatch between audiogram results and self-reported difficulties. This simple questionnaire could be the difference between continued frustration and finding appropriate help for millions of people.For hearing healthcare professionals listening, this episode provides valuable insights on expanding your practice to better serve this underrecognized population. For those struggling with hearing but told their tests are normal, it offers validation and hope. Listen now to understand the critical difference between hearing and processing – and discover how addressing both can transform lives.Connect with the Hearing Matters Podcast TeamEmail: hearingmatterspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @hearing_matters_podcast Twitter: @hearing_mattasFacebook: Hearing Matters Podcast

Send us a textThe mysterious disconnect between hearing and understanding affects millions worldwide, yet remains largely undiagnosed and untreated. Dr. Angela Alexander pulls back the curtain on auditory processing disorder (APD), revealing why so many people struggle to understand speech despite normal hearing tests."One in five adults who report hearing loss actually have normal hearing test results," explains Dr. Alexander, highlighting a staggering statistic from the Framingham cohort study. These individuals aren't imagining their difficulties – they're experiencing a processing problem in the brain rather than the ears. The mismatch between audiogram results and real-world experience leaves many frustrated, bouncing between providers who tell them their hearing is "fine" when their daily struggles suggest otherwise.Dr. Alexander offers practical screening tools for hearing professionals, particularly recommending the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) to identify potential processing challenges. She also shares remarkable success stories, including her work with Matt Hay, who has an auditory brainstem implant. Through targeted auditory training – what she calls "physical therapy for the ears and brain" – Matt improved his word recognition from 60% to nearly 90% in just three months, demonstrating the brain's remarkable adaptability.For parents of children diagnosed with APD, Dr. Alexander offers hope: "Auditory processing disorder is a hopeful diagnosis because there's so much we can do about it." She explains how APD can overlap with conditions like ADHD and dyslexia, but unlike those conditions, auditory processing is often easier to improve with the right intervention. Through her Auditory Processing Institute, she's trained 170 specialists worldwide and created a searchable map to help individuals find qualified providers.Ready to understand why you or your loved ones struggle to process speech despite "normal" hearing?

It's Friday! Sam and Emma welcome Heather 'Digby' Parton back to the program for a look at another very busy week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on HHS' mass firings, Dem lawmakers' demand for the release of the abducted Tufts student, Trump's tariffs, Trump's targeting of Smithsonian over “ideology”, the Senate GOP's love for overdraft fees, HUD's wage theft, Judge Boasberg's disciplining of the Trump Administration, the scrapping of Elise Stefanik's UN role, Elon Musk's attempt to buy out the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, and Trump's executive order to cancel union contracts, also touching on Schumer's absurd messaging campaign in the wake of his budget capitulation, and watching Elise Stefanik grapple with her scrapped promotion live. Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma dive right into the genuine danger between the lines of absurdity in the Trump Administration's Signal scandal, from the clear sign that they're moving away from official (documented) channels to the executive role being played by psycho-White nationalist Stephen Miller. After expanding on the horrifying aesthetic role Donald Trump is playing in the administration, and the tightening of the inner circle in Trump 2.0, Parton reflects on the genuine shock over how quickly US institutions folded to the threat of fascism, from Columbia to corporations to major law firms, and tackles the deliberate nature of the Trump Administration's agenda of economic chaos, before wrapping up by touching on the few remaining levers of power Democrats have to push back against fascism. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch as the Trump Cabinet take various unique paths to avoid any questions about the ongoing Signal Scandal, Marco Rubio unpacks exactly why due process doesn't matter, and Josh Hawley goes insane over the right to disappear student activists. They also dive into some recent controversy on the left and why playing Dave Rubin's games with you Dave Rubin's prizes, and talk with Vitor from Framingham about political conversations with right-wingers, plus, your calls and IMs!
