In this episode of The Lindsay Elmore Show, Lindsay sits down with David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs and a pioneer in sulforaphane supplementation.Sulforaphane, derived from broccoli sprouts, has been called the "master molecule for health" thanks to its ability to support detoxification, reduce inflammation, enhance brain health, and improve metabolic function. David shares the science behind stabilizing sulforaphane, explains why most supplements fall short, and discusses its synergistic effects with molecules like curcumin. From detoxing microplastics to balancing hormones and boosting mitochondrial energy, sulforaphane has far-reaching benefits for overall resilience.Key TakeawaysSulforaphane Basics: A compound found in broccoli sprouts with over 37 documented pro-health mechanisms.Brain Health: Increases BDNF, supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and even enhanced dreaming.Detoxification: Activates NRF2 pathways, turning on over 200 antioxidant and detox genes for up to 72 hours.Inflammation: Synergizes with curcumin to reduce NF-kB and IL-6, two key pro-inflammatory markers.Practical Use: Each capsule of Mara Labs' stabilized sulforaphane equals the benefit of 2.5 pounds of broccoli.Metabolic Impact: Helps balance estrogen, supports mitochondrial energy, and assists in reducing belly fat and insulin resistance.Environmental Defense: Aids the body in processing toxins like glyphosate and mobilizing microplastics.Chapter Timestamps01:00 – What is sulforaphane and why it's the “master molecule”03:00 – How sulforaphane supports brain health through BDNF05:00 – Stabilizing sulforaphane and the challenges of supplementation06:45 – David's personal story: breast cancer diagnosis and discovery of sulforaphane08:00 – How sulforaphane is delivered and stabilized in capsules10:00 – The NRF2 pathway and turning on antioxidant defense13:00 – Detox done right: why many “detox programs” fail15:00 – Curcumin and sulforaphane synergy for inflammation reduction18:00 – Internal studies on inflammation markers (IL-6, NF-kB)20:00 – The real role of detoxification vs. buzzwords24:00 – Toxins in modern life: microplastics, glyphosate, and more28:00 – Genetic modification, glyphosate, and long-term toxicity29:30 – Sulforaphane for metabolism, mitochondrial energy, and belly fat32:00 – Additional Mara Labs products supporting metabolism (GLP-1 alternatives)33:00 – How to learn more: Mara Labs discount link

Your neck is the highway from your brain to your body, and one small instability (even if you don't feel it) can create a whirlwind of issues in your body below it: from low energy to gut issues, hip or knee pain, a weakened immune system, poor sleep, bad moods and so much more. But what no one talks about is how you're likely dealing with this silent neck problem and how one simple movement or adjustment can correct this whole cascade of events that's slowly strangling the health and viltality out of your body.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: The role of neck and nerve function in gut health, stomach acid and enzyme production, gut motility and leaky gut How neck misalignment (C1 instability) creates pain down below How to make treatments and adjustments last Genetic factors weakening your connective tissues Complimentary therapies to stiffen ligaments so your adjustments and joints hold Practical steps to give to your own health care providers   More from Erin Doppelt: Instagram: @drryanemmons Clinic Website: atlaspaicentre.com C1 Course for Professionals: clinicalupgrade.ca   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating clean, taking your supplements, exercising, sleeping—and yet, something still feels off? In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most overlooked but essential processes in your body: methylation. It might sound like something from chemistry class (and technically it is), but it affects everything—from your energy and hormones to detox, mental health, and even how your genes show up in real life. If you've heard of MTHFR or suspect there's something going on under the surface that no one has been able to explain… this is for you. Here's What I Cover in This Episode: What methylation actually is—and why it matters for your overall health The connection between methylation and your detox, mood, hormones, and energy Signs you might be struggling with methylation (hint: it's way more common than you think) Why the phrase “genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger” applies to your health journey What MTHFR, COMT, PEMT, MTRR, and other gene variants mean for your body Why some supplements might not work for you—and how to choose the ones that actually do My personal experiences with poor methylation (including that dental numbing story

CardioNerds (Drs. Rick Ferraro and Georgia Vasilakis Tsatiris) discuss ATTR cardiac amyloidosis with expert Dr. Justin Grodin. This episode is a must-listen for all who want to know how to diagnose and treat ATTR with current available therapies, as well as management of concomitant diseases through a multidisciplinary approach. We take a deep dive into the importance of genetic testing, not only for patients and families, but also for gene-specific therapies on the horizon. Dr. Grodin draws us a roadmap, guiding us through new experimental therapies that may reverse the amyloidosis disease process once and for all.  Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Christiana Dangas. This episode was developed in collaboration with the American Society of Preventive Cardiology and supported by an educational grant from BridgeBio.  Enjoy this Circulation Paths to Discovery article to learn more about the CardioNerds mission and journey.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds! Submit your manuscripts here.  CardioNerds Cardiac Amyloid PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls: You must THINK about your patient having amyloid to recognize the pattern and make the diagnosis. Start with a routine ECG and TTE, and look for a disproportionately large heart muscle with relatively low voltages on the ECG.  Before you diagnose ATTR amyloidosis, AL amyloidosis must be ruled out (or ruled in) with serum light chains, serum/urine immunofixation, and/or tissue biopsy.  Genetic testing is standard of care for all patients and families with ATTR amyloidosis, and the future is promising for gene-specific treatments. Current FDA-approved treatments for TTR amyloidosis are TTR stabilizers and TTR silencers, but TTR fibril-depleting agents are on their way.  Early diagnosis of ATTR affords patients maximal benefit from current amyloidosis therapies.   TTR amyloidosis patients require a multidisciplinary approach for success, given the high number of concomitant diseases with cardiomyopathy.  Notes: Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Georgia Vasilakis Tsatiris.  What makes you most suspicious of a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis from the typical heart failure patient?  You must have a strong index of suspicion, meaning you THINK that the patient could have cardiac amyloidosis, to consider it diagnostically. Some characteristics or “red flags” to not miss:   Disproportionately thick heart muscle with a relatively low voltages on EKG   Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome – estimated that 1 in 10 people >65 years old will have amyloidosis   Previously tolerated antihypertensive medications  Atraumatic biceps tendon rupture   Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome  Spinal stenosis   Concomitant with other diseases: HFpEF, low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis  How would you work up a patient for cardiac amyloidosis?   Start with a routine ECG (looking for disproportionally low voltage) and routine TTE (looking for thick heart muscle)  CBC, serum chemistries, hepatic function panel, NT proBNP, and troponin levels  NOTE: It is critical to differentiate between amyloid light chain (AL amyloidosis) and transthyretin ATTR amyloidosis, as both make up 95-99% of amyloidosis cases.   Obtain serum free light chains, serum & urine electrophoresis, and serum & urine immunofixation to rule out AL amyloidosis. (See table below)  AL Amyloidosis ATTR Amyloidosis  → Positive serum free light chains and immunofixation (Abnormal M protein) → Tissue biopsy (endomyocardial, fat pad) to confirm diagnosis → Negative serum free light chains and immunofixation (ruled out AL amyloidosis) → Cardiac scintigraphy (Technetium pyrophosphate with SPECT imaging)  What treatment options do we have to offer now for ATTR CM, and how has this compared to prior years?   Before 2019, treatment options were limited outside of cardiac tr...

DSD 6.8 | That is where you should put your money For years researchers have sought out to better understand control mechanisms for a successful transition into lactation from the dry period. We've learned changing body condition score during the dry period is not acceptable, but what if it changes during late lactation?  How does this impact energy partitioning for the next lactation? Well managed high producing cows with high fertility might find themselves bred back in less than the “textbook ideal” condition score heading into the dry period. Can we alter the late lactation ration to successfully increase condition with little impact? Dr. Laura Hernandez from the University of Wisconsin worked with a team of researchers at the Forage Center to better understand what is happening if high energy is fed late in lactation through extensive data collection to determine the possible potential carry over effects for subsequent lactations. Listen into this compelling discussion as we learn more about the “black box” we know as the transition dairy cow and what phase to invest in to maximize your return.

AI and genetic medicine are converging to transform how we diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. Gene Yeo, Ph.D., unites RNA biology with artificial intelligence to speed the path from genome sequencing to personalized RNA therapeutics. Advances in sequencing have reduced costs dramatically, making interpretation and translation into treatments the real challenge. Using deep learning and large datasets of RNA-binding proteins, Yeo predicts disease vulnerabilities and identifies therapeutic targets, including in neurodegeneration and muscular diseases. Alexis Komor, Ph.D., focuses on DNA, explaining human genetic variation—particularly single-nucleotide variants—and how genome editing technologies like CRISPR can target them. She highlights strategies to correct harmful mutations and explores precise, programmable interventions. Together, their research drives discovery and enables more effective, personalized therapies.

Humans have always tried to augment and enhance bodily flaws, from eye glasses to prostheses and pacemakers. But something qualitatively different is happening today. The transhumanist movement basically sees humans as biological algorithms.They want to break into the genetic code and the brain and change what a person is into something else. They believe nature has come as far as it can, and now it is we who drive evolution. We are the ones in charge of creating the next version of Homo Sapiens.“It's a new religion”, says psychologist and philosopher Harald Walach, who has written a comprehensive report about transhumanism.It's a staunchly materialist, godless religion.Seeing the body as a machine and the brain as a computer are metaphors that can be useful in some instances, like when we have had an accident. But it is a category mistake to take these metaphors to be the whole reality.“It's like taking the menu for lunch. You can't eat the menu”, says Harald Walach.A crucial and tricky question is whether the interventions transhumanists envision might mess around with consciousness. Harald distinguishes between psyche and soul.“These interventions can definitely change the mental state of people. But the soul is very likely untouchable.”The transhumanists are a heterogeneous collection of people.“They are various groups with different intentions. Some dedicate their efforts to abolishing death and aging. Some are more on the tech side, connecting human and machine. Others have a more philosophical approach reminiscent of the Nietzschean übermensch.”“A common theme is that they all want to create a transhumanist being with enhanced faculties that are greater than in current humans.”Interestingly, transhumanists aren't particularly good at science.“I don't think many scientists are transhumanistic, because scientists generally know about the intricate problems associated with what transhumanists talk about”, says Harald.“Transhumanists are science fanatics who don't really do science. Many are in the tech industry.”At the core of the transhumanist agenda are medical interventions, in particular genetic manipulation.“We've already seen it happening during the pandemic: Genetic prevention technologies masquerading as vaccines”, says Harald.Was there a nefarious agenda?“That's irrelevant. The thinking, the ideology and the technology were there. As I see it, it is like mushrooms. If you walk in a forest you may not see any mushrooms, but the mycelium is there, under the surface. When the conditions are right, they pop up everywhere.”To materialists, death is the ultimate catastrophe. There are transhumanists, like Aubrey de Grey, who want to abolish it.Ethical and logical objections aside, abolishing death would lead to absurd consequences, Harald points out: The population would quickly increase. By default one would have to prohibit procreation. This in turn would lead to fascistoid governing. Without young people, there would be no new ideas.“Philosophically speaking, life's finiteness creates meaning. If we don't die, we don't need to make any important decisions:, says Harald.He thinks it's imperative that we have an open discussion about the transhumanist agenda now. The proponents are a minority, but they are influential.“We need to ask ourselves: Are we willing to accept a transcendent realm that is beyond our human grip, that we cannot control?”Harald's websiteHarald's Transhumanism report

How does genetic testing help doctors treat patients? How accurate are private companies like 23andMe? Does knowing your genetic risk help people lead healthier lives or is it just a waste of time and money? Sophie had a bunch of questions about how genetic testing is used in everyday medical practice and Chris was here to answer!   Become a supporter of our show today either on Patreon or through PayPal!

Join us for our second episode of season 2 with Shannon Bae. Shannon is a long-time friend, fellow Korean adoptee community activist and organizer, and mother of two amazing kids. This intimate conversation took place in Seoul in the summer of 2023 during the International Korean Adoptee Association's 6th Korea Gathering. In our shared ancestral land, Shannon generously shares about her decision to not explicitly share her adoption story with her children at this point in their development, and her juxtaposing experiences giving birth in Korea and the United States while continuing to cultivate a deeper relationship with her birth mother. Shannon also discusses her children's experiences moving back and forth between Korea and the United States, raising them bilingual, and why she doesn't view translating for adoptee reunions as work.  Shannon Bae BioCo-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Augustina Moore & Adrien Prevosthttps://august222222.comArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast

Josh Stolberg is a director, screenwriter, and photographer whose work spans comedy, horror, and thriller. Among the horror crowd, Josh is best known for his work as writer on movies like Sorority Row and Piranha 3D. Josh is well known for his contributions to the Saw franchise, penning scripts for Jigsaw (2017), Spiral (2021), and Saw X (2023).His latest project is Skillhouse, which he wrote and directed. Skillhouse is a critique on influencer culture with brutal, practical-effects-driven set pieces by Steve Johnson. There was one sequence in Skillhouse that was so brutal the DP actually passed out. True story. Josh gets into this, his career history, advice for writers and aspiring filmmakers, and the background behind his very exciting new project, Darren and Josh Make a Movie, a podcast-docuseries hybrid that gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the process of making an indie horror film from concept to completion, which he co-hosts with Darren Lynn Bousman. This was an extra special and extra fun episode. I loved chatting with Josh and hope to do so again real soon. Please enjoy Josh Stolberg.Key TakeawaysSpec scripts represent your purest voice. Josh broke into horror by writing a Piranha spec script in four weeks and remember, he wasn't hired to do this. He pleaded with the rights holder to let him try, and the resulting script jumpstarted his horror career. He put his time and effort on the line and that gamble paid off. This taught him that writing for yourself — not a paycheck — produces your most authentic and personal work. A lot of would-be writers and filmmakers refuse to write spec scripts, which in some scenarios makes sense, but if you're just starting out, specs are your bread and butter. They not only force you to hone your craft, they can open doors and introduce the world to your voice. Note your first few will likely suck — Josh's first few apparently did — but he often pulls characters, scenes, or details from failed projects to give them new life in new ones. So the beauty of a bad script is they aren't failures, they're raw material. Keep everything, you'll use it later.Keep multiple irons in the fire.There's a creative dichotomy that focus is critical, but you never know which project will hit so therefore, it's important to keep multiple projects moving forward at the same time. Josh juggles dozens of projects at various stages — from ideas to early drafts to ones in active development — he rotates between them based on energy and momentum. His “creative journal” method helps him track where to put his time without burning out or stalling, and he has an organized database of his projects that lets him navigate which to focus on. When one project stalls, he pivots to another — keeping the creativity and productivity flowing while avoiding burnout.Know your audience — but don't just give them what they ask for.After receiving intense backlash for his Jigsaw script, Josh learned the hard way how passionate (and vocal) Saw fans are. But when it came time for Saw X, he embraced that feedback and turned around a script for the second-best Saw movie since the original. Fans wanted more Jigsaw, so he gave them what they wanted, BUT instead of over-indulging in fan service, he also found ways to surprise the audience. The goal is balance: fan service with subversion. It's a magical combination and led to the rabid popularity of Saw X, which made over $110 million and gained the highest Rotten Tomatoes score of the entire franchise.Show NotesMovies DiscussedSaw XSpiralJigsawPiranha 3DSkill HouseRepo!

IWP Ep86 Unfiltered Panel 1 - Adaptation. Today and the next couple episodes we'll be presenting the recorded panels from “Unfiltered - Conversations about wine”  It took place on July 26th at Donkey at Goat. Jared Brandt has always been passionate about wine education and together with Andrew Sullivan they put on the first annual version of this festival.   Their aim is to elevate the status and awareness of our local natural and low intervention winemakers through education and community.  It's always been a pet peeve of mine when local wines aren't represented on local wine lists, whether retail or restaurant.  The first panel, “Adaptation” was attempting to answer the questions- Are low-intervention and natural winemaking increasingly incompatible with sustainability? What will winemaking in the region look like as temperatures rise and rainfall patterns shift? More spraying? Vineyard canopies? More mechanization? Genetic engineering? Different varietals? Even earlier harvests? Higher elevations?Darek Trowbridge of Old World Winery moderated the panel hosting guests, Dr. Kaan Kurtural formerly of UC Davis, now producing his own wines, Dr. Whendee Silver and Dr. Tibisay Perez both of University California Berkely and Matt Niess of North American Press.https://www.oldworldwinery.com/https://northamericanpress.wine/https://kurturalwines.com/https://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people/whendee-silverhttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tibisay_Perez2Follow the podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or email indiewinepodcast@gmail.com with questions, comments or feedback.

Saturated fat -- not eggs -- is the key culprit behind high LDL cholesterol, which can lead to cardiovascular disease And in fact, a diet low in saturated fat and high in dietary cholesterol, such as that found in eggs, can lower blood cholesterol levels. This -- according to a new study from researchers at the University of South Australia.   But what are we to make of this study, which received funding from an offshoot of the American Egg Board, an organization focused on marketing and promoting eggs?   Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on this episode of The Exam Room to tell us what he makes of these findings, and to answer your questions about saturated fats, dietary cholesterol and eggs.   In this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn:   - Whether eggs raise cholesterol for everyone - Whether eggs egg whites and free-range eggs are healthier options - Dr. Barnard's favorite egg substitutes - Whether eggs or meat and dairy have a greater impact on cholesterol - How many eggs are safe to eat per week - How saturated fat influences cholesterol absorption - How quickly eggs can raise cholesterol - Genetic factors that influence cholesterol   This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J.

Send us a textThis is the interview only portion of our original episode #131.Tonight we have a guest that I've been so eager to talk with for a long time. One man's journey to uncover the family secrets buried in his blood-stained past. You will hear his horrific yet inspiring story of surviving ritualistic abuse by an ancient and existing evil to his current life of independent self reliance and abundance. Nathan Reynolds is an author, international speaker, farmer, and consultant on everything from trauma to tomatoes. His early career in the United States Army left him plagued with a ferocious drive to execute justice, no matter the cost. Upon leaving the Army he spent the next ten years in the minefield of Psychology trying to mend the shattered souls around him. Along the way to his current life, he's been a wilderness mentor, an executive protection agent, transport specialist, chef for the homeless, and a market seller of beets and beans alike. His wife Chelsea along with their two daughters now travel the country in an RV cultivating the furrowed fields of organic farms, backyard bistros, and fossil laden springs of new life. The new Reynolds Family is on a quest to see the captives of crime, cowardice, and comfort set free.Nathan's website: https://snatchedfromtheflames.com/SUPPORT THE SHOWBuy Me A Coffee http://buymeacoffee.com/DangerousinfopodcastSubscribeStar http://bit.ly/42Y0qM8Super Chat Tip https://bit.ly/42W7iZHBuzzsprout https://bit.ly/3m50hFTPaypal http://bit.ly/3Gv3ZjpPatreon http://bit.ly/3G3 SMART is the acronym that was created by technocrats that have setup the "internet of things" that will eventually enslave humanity to their needs.

Vitamin D deficiency is not always easy to detect. Blood tests do not reflect what's going on deeper in your cells.Taking too much vitamin D can be dangerous if you have hypercalcemia, or too much calcium in the blood. This can lead to kidney stones. A lack of vitamin D is also dangerous! If you're deficient in vitamin D, you are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases, which is currently the world's largest health problem. Vitamin D is involved in over 2500 genes and is intimately involved in every part of your immune system. You need a maintenance dose of 8,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily for healthy immune function.Many people can not get adequate vitamin D from the sun or their food. Genetic factors can contribute to vitamin D resistance. Low magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 can also inhibit the absorption of vitamin D. Certain viruses downgrade vitamin D receptors, weakening your immune function. Our RDAs are also far too low. There are several ways to maximize vitamin D benefits while also preventing adverse vitamin D side effects. Take the cofactors magnesium, zinc, and vitamin K2 with vitamin D. Limit your calcium intake, especially when taking a high dose of vitamin D. You can also increase fluid intake to 2.5 liters per day to prevent kidney stones.

Guest: Jay Shaw, MS, CGC, Senior Product Manager, Fulgent Genetics Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny    The Fertility 101 Series, because there's no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert.  Today's episode is a deep dive into the role of genetics in fertility care and planning. We're joined by Jay Shaw, a certified genetic counselor and Senior Product Manager at Fulgent Genetics, who walks us through the basics and beyond when it comes to genetic testing.  We start with a foundational overview, and Jay makes sure to break down the medical jargon for us. What is genetic testing? And what do terms like “carrier screening,” “single gene disorder,” and “pathogenic variant,” actually mean?   From there, Jay explains how test results can inform decisions around IVF, embryo selection, and prenatal diagnostic testing. She also walks us through options available to people and couples when carrier screening reveals shared risks, including IVF with genetic testing, sperm or egg donation, and early interventions during pregnancy or at birth.   Jay also shares how genetic testing is expanding with new tools for cancer screening, direct-to-consumer options, and exciting advancements on the horizon, including genome sequencing and the potential for AI to transform how we interpret genetic results.   Genetic testing is a crucial part of the family-building journey, protecting the health of your baby and ensuring a well-informed pregnancy. Tune in to hear all that it has to offer.  For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes. You're looking for practical lifestyle, testing, and healing strategies to improve future pregnancy outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Introduction: Late term pregnancy loss overview, compassion, and what to expect in this episode [00:02:30] Functional fertility testing for late term loss thrombophilia panel, immune markers, inflammation, and infections [00:06:00] Stress hormones, nervous system support, and comprehensive blood chemistry for improving pregnancy outcomes [00:09:00] Blood sugar, insulin, and comprehensive thyroid testing in pregnancy loss [00:12:00] Genetic testing, including MTHFR mutations and the importance of body healing before conception [00:14:30] Role of gut health, infections, and estrogen metabolism in pregnancy loss --- RESOURCES

Drs. Rick Ferraro and Sneha Nandy discuss ‘Diagnosis of ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis' with Dr. Venkatesh Murthy.  In this episode, we explore the diagnosis of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, a condition once considered rare but now increasingly recognized due to advances in imaging and the availability of effective therapies. Dr. Venkatesh Murthy, a leader in multimodality imaging, discusses key clinical and laboratory features that should raise suspicion for the disease. We also examine the role of nuclear imaging and genetic testing in confirming the diagnosis, as well as the importance of early detection. Tune in for expert insights on navigating this challenging diagnosis and look out for our next episode on treatment approaches for cardiac amyloidosis! Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes.

Submit your manuscripts here.  CardioNerds Cardiac Amyloid PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls: - Diagnosis of Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy 1. Recognizing the Red Flags – ATTR cardiac amyloidosis often presents with subtle but telling signs, such as bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, low-voltage ECG, and a history of lumbar spinal stenosis or biceps tendon rupture. If you see these features in a patient with heart failure symptoms, think amyloidosis!    2. “Vanilla Ice Cream with a Cherry on Top” – On strain echocardiography, apical sparing is a classic pattern for cardiac amyloidosis. While helpful, it's not foolproof—multimodal imaging and clinical suspicion are key!   3. Nuclear Imaging is a Game-Changer – When suspicion for cardiac amyloidosis is high à a positive PYP scan with SPECT imaging (grade 2 or 3 myocardial uptake) in the absence of monoclonal protein (ruled out by SPEP, UPEP, and free light chains) is diagnostic for ATTR amyloidosis—no biopsy needed!   4. Wild-Type vs. Hereditary? Know the Clues – Older patients (70+) are more likely to have wild-type ATTR, while younger patients (40s-60s), especially those with neuropathy and a family history of heart failure, should raise suspicion for hereditary ATTR. Genetic testing is crucial for distinguishing between the two. Note that some ATTR variants may predispose to a false negative PYP scan!  5. Missing Amyloidosis = Missed Opportunity – With multiple disease-modifying therapies now available, early diagnosis is critical. If you suspect cardiac amyloidosis, don't delay the workup—early treatment improves outcomes!   Notes - Diagnosis of Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy What clinical features should raise suspicion for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis?   ATTR cardiac amyloidosis is underdiagnosed because symptoms overlap with other forms of heart failure.   Red flags include bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (often years before cardiac symptoms), low-voltage ECG despite increased LV wall thickness, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with a restrictive pattern, and history of lumbar spinal stenosis, biceps tendon rupture, and/or peripheral neuropathy, including possible autonomic dysfunction (e.g., orthostatic hypotension).  Remember: If an older patient presents with heart failure and unexplained symptoms like neuropathy or musculoskeletal issues, think amyloidosis!   What is the differential diagnosis for a thick left ventricle (LVH) and how does ATTR amyloidosis fit into it?    Hypertension: Most common cause of LVH, typically with a history of uncontrolled high blood pressure.   Aortic stenosis: May present with concentric LVH.   Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): Genetic disorder typically presenting with asymmetric LVH, especially in younger patients.   Infiltrative cardiomyopathy: Often due to amyloidosis, sarcoidosis,

Howard Blum Believes The 'FBI Broke Laws' To Access Kohberger's Genetic Information Did the FBI cross legal boundaries to catch Bryan Kohberger? In this controversial episode, veteran journalist Howard Blum lays out a shocking theory: that federal investigators may have bent or outright broke the law when obtaining Kohberger's genetic information during the manhunt for the Idaho student murders suspect. We take a hard look at how familial DNA and genealogy databases were allegedly used to narrow in on Kohberger — and whether constitutional protections were sidestepped in the process. Are we witnessing the dawn of a new, legally murky era of forensic investigation? Joined by former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we explore how far law enforcement can (or should) go in pursuit of a suspect — and whether this could open the door to dangerous precedent. Are future cases now vulnerable to being overturned due to investigative overreach? And did prosecutors strike a plea deal because they feared the legality of the evidence might not hold up under scrutiny? This isn't just about Kohberger — it's about your privacy, your DNA, and how rapidly our justice system is changing in the age of genetic surveillance. If you think this case is over, think again. What was done in the shadows to catch Kohberger may have repercussions for years to come. #BryanKohberger #IdahoFour #HowardBlum #FBI #DNAEvidence #GeneticPrivacy #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #ForensicGenealogy #CrimeInvestigation #KohbergerArrest Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Story at-a-glance Mosquitoes are drawn to your body's natural scent, heat, breath, and even clothing color, making some people far more attractive to them than others Genetic factors account for about 62% of how attractive you are to mosquitoes, with identical twins showing nearly identical mosquito appeal in lab tests People with type O blood are bitten significantly more often than those with types A, B, or AB, though this doesn't impact how many eggs mosquitoes lay afterward Everyday choices like using scented lotion, wearing red or black clothing, drinking alcohol, or being overheated all raise your mosquito bite risk Plant-based oils like Russian sage and wild mint repel mosquitoes as effectively as DEET in lab studies, offering a safer way to protect yourself without toxic chemicals
