For Dr. Priya, the autopsy is just the beginning. What happens next can change everything for the families left behind. In this episode, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum, to examine a side of autopsies that rarely makes headlines: the profound responsibility of communicating with families. Dr. Priya reflects on the power of empathy in the autopsy suite, the deep importance of walking families through trauma with care, and the surprising ways postmortem findings can protect the living. She shares raw personal experiences—from the loss of her own parents to advocating for grieving families left behind during COVID—and the critical role of cultural awareness, front-line staff, and honest conversations. Listeners will also learn how autopsies sometimes uncover hereditary conditions that can lead to lifesaving interventions for surviving loved ones. This is forensic pathology not just as a science, but as a service.

You may have heard in the news that younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at higher rates than before. While women under 40 only account for 4% of breast cancer cases in the U.S., even a modest rise in breast cancer incidence is a call to action for young women to understand their personal risk and to know what's normal for their breasts so they can be aware of any changes that should be reported to a health care provider. Joining us on the show today is Dr. Virginia Borges, a medical oncologist at the University of Colorado, whose research focuses on young women's breast cancer. Dr. Borges is committed to finding answers and today will share what is being studied, as well as how young women can be empowered to take charge of their breast health early.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Tommy: Hello Stephen. I'm an IHP. A year ago I started having dhiarrea daily. My sleep also suffered, waking up in the night unable to fall back asleep even with magnesium/melatonin/breathwork. I had some leftover healthy belly, so began taking 2 morning and 2 night. Everything cleared up, my bowells were perfect , my mind was clearer, my body was calmer. I thought it was the mastic gum that had killed some h-pylori. About 7 days after stopping healthy belly, it all came back again. I've since done a parasite protocol which i had to stop 11 days before the end as I was feeling fatigued. I ran a stool test just before these symptoms and it showed citrabacter friundi. I'm unsure whether to do a parasite protocol again or run another stool test. Appreciate you                                                                                                                                             Tommy: Hello Stephen, I heard you mention that a certain percentage of folk (possibly with the APOE genotype if memory serves me correctly), experience more inflammation with a higher fat diet. Would it be worth running a generic test to refine my unique needs a bit more as I'm prone to inflammation? Obviously this comes after the basic big 5. And Would it also explain susceptibility to mycotoxins? Thankyou for all that you do             Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, What would you recommend to 59 or 60 year olds who are a pitta/vata body type and tend to be more catabolic when it comes to your DCD? Would you recommend to modify the 2 fasting days? Both my husband and I are generally ok during Day 1 of the fast, but Day 2 is always so difficult - my husband got bad headaches and because he had to work and focus, he ended up prematurely ending the DCD. I have gotten nausea and chills on Day 2, but the most difficult part for me is just really wanting to eat solid food. It also seems that my muscle tone is weakened afterwards. I know that muscle goes away much quicker when you are over the age of 50. Thanks for all your great podcasts- they are always so informative and I look forward to your response!                                 Kay:  Hi Dr. Cabral- Thanks for your awesome podcasts and the opportunity for us to ask you questions. I'm a 59 year old female and am in menopause. I never had cellulite on my arms and back of my upper thighs and glutes until I began taking HRT. Currently, I am on 1mg oral bioidentical estradiol bid and 100 mg oral progesterone qd at bedtime. I also recently began taking 5 mg DHEA (equilife) bid. I am at a good weight (5'2" 110) and do strength training 3 x per week and walk an average of 10k steps per day. I also have recently incorporated your dry brushing techniques and plan to switch to topical HRT sometime this year with the help of my medical provider. I am wondering what else I can do to eliminate the cellulite?                                                                                                                                                                Shelley: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I have recently gone on a health and wellness journey, going from 228 lbs down to now 167 pounds in just over a year. To aid in the process, of course exercise was a part of it. With the exercise came all the injuries of olde, but mainly my knee. I injured it back in my college years playing tennis and surgery wasn't recommended as they wanted to see if it would heal itself (torn meniscus, mostly in the vascular area). Well, fast forward more years than I care to count, and that residual tear on the avascular portion can be problematic. I have been looking into peptides, specifically BPC-157 and TB-500 to potentially help this knee without surgical intervention. What are your thoughts on peptide use (these two in particular) and do you think they might help my knee?           Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3467 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Lexi Silver is 15 years old. She lost both of her parents before she turned 11. That should tell you enough—but it doesn't. Because Lexi isn't here for your pity. She's not a sob story. She's not a trauma statistic. She's a writer, an advocate, and one of the most emotionally intelligent people you'll ever hear speak into a microphone.In this episode, Lexi breaks down what grief actually feels like when you're a kid and the adults around you just don't get it. She talks about losing her mom on Christmas morning, her dad nine months later, how the system let her down, and how Instagram trolls tell her she's faking it for attention. She also explains why she writes, what Experience Camps gave her, how she channels anger into poems, and what to say—and not say—to someone grieving.Her life isn't a Netflix drama. But it should be.And by the way, she's not “so strong.” She's just human. You'll never forget this conversation.RELATED LINKS• Lexi on Instagram: @meet.my.grief• Buy her book: The Girl Behind Grief's Shadow• Experience CampsFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Send us a textMost people say they want to live longer. Fewer stop to ask: what does “longer” actually feel like?In this follow-up to last week's conversation, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein sits down again with Dr. Nicki Byrne and Dr. Kevin White — this time for an especially detailed, behind-the-scenes deep dive into the blood work and biomarkers that actually matter for health span.If you've ever wanted to understand labs like ApoB, LP(a), fasting insulin, ferritin, hormone panels, or genetic testing — and how to interpret them like a longevity doc — this one's for you. The team walks through what they measure, what it means, and how they guide real-world decisions using data most doctors never mention.Whether you're a patient, a clinician, or just tired of biohacking buzzwords, this episode is packed with nuance, context, and clarity — so you can finally make sense of what your labs are telling you (and what to do next).

How can you be a full-time mom to your children while also facing breast cancer? Can you do both? Today's guests share how they navigated two demanding roles – mom and patient – at the same time. Young women face even greater challenges when diagnosed young with breast cancer, as many are also raising young kids. Jennie Smythe had a 2-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter when she was diagnosed, and Siana Bennett had a 1-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter when she was diagnosed. Both are joining me today to tell us their stories.

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.

Michelle Andrews built a career inside the pharma machine long before anyone knew what “DTC” meant. She helped launch Rituxan and watched Allegra commercials teach America how to ask for pills by name. Then she landed in the cancer fun house herself, stage 4 breast cancer, and learned exactly how hollow all the “journey” slide decks feel when you're the one circling the drain.We talk about what happens when the insider becomes the customer, why pill organizers and wheat field brochures still piss her off, and how she fired doctors who couldn't handle her will to live. You'll hear about the dawn of pharma advertising, the pre-Google advocacy hustle, and what she wants every brand team to finally admit about patient experience.If you've ever wondered who decided windsurfing was the best way to sell allergy meds—or what happens when you stop caring if you make people uncomfortable—listen up.RELATED LINKSMichelle Andrews on LinkedInTrinity Life Sciences – Strategic AdvisoryJade Magazine – Ticking Time Bombs ArticleNIHCM Foundation – Breast Cancer StoryFEEDBACKLike this episode?

People with disabilities —especially women of color —face unique, often invisible, barriers when it comes to accessing breast health care. From physically inaccessible mammography machines to bias and misinformation among providers, the breast cancer experience can look vastly different for women with disabilities. In this powerful conversation, disability advocate Monique Stamps opens up about the systemic inequities faced by people with disabilities in the health care system. Drawing from her own lived experience and professional advocacy, Monique explores how we must move beyond compliance — beyond ramps and accessible doors — to build a truly inclusive breast health system that serves everybody.

In this episode of Decoding Destiny: Navigating Breast Cancer with Genetic Insight, I'm joined by Dena Goldberg, board-certified genetic counselor and founder of Malibu Genetics. We talk about the critical role genetic counselors play in assessing breast cancer risk, and how genetic testing can guide treatment and preventive care. Dena also shares how she supports patients through the emotional impact of receiving test results—and how understanding your genetic risk can be both empowering and life-saving. We also look ahead at the future of genetic testing, including the promise of population screening and the ongoing push for more equitable access. Listen now to learn how genetic counseling can help you and your loved ones make informed, proactive decisions about breast cancer risk.  Special thanks to AstraZeneca and Merck for making this episode possible.

Laughter is good for our souls. It's especially good for those who have dementia, providing healing for those who grieve, no matter what our cognitive ability level might be. Today's "all over the place" episode starts off hilariously with "Gomer the bull" and a visit to Andy's Custard. Next is Mary Anne's description of falling on a slippery bathroom floor, added with the discussion of GeneSight, a pharmacogenomic test which analyzes how genes may affect medication outcomes. The GeneSight test is important for understanding genetic variations in your DNA. Results can inform your healthcare provider about how you may break down or respond to certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions, including dementia and Alzheimer's. www.verandaministries.org www.genesight.com Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherly https://a.co/d/h00Ht0J

Dr. Anne Marie Morse walks into the studio like a one-woman Jersey Broadway show and leaves behind the best damn TED Talk you've never heard. She's a neurologist, sleep medicine doc, narcolepsy expert, founder of D.A.M.M. Good Sleep, and full-time myth buster in a white coat. We talk about why sleep isn't a luxury, why your mattress does matter, and how melatonin is the new Flintstones vitamin with a marketing budget. We unpack the BS around sleep hygiene, blow up the medical gaslighting around “disorders,” and dig into how a former aspiring butterfly became one of the loudest voices for patient-centered science. Also: naps, kids, burnout, CPAPs, co-sleeping, airport pods, the DeLorean, and Carl Sagan. If you think you're getting by on five hours of sleep and vibes, you're not.

When Inside Edition reporter, Alison Hall, was assigned to cover Olivia Munn's breast cancer story, she agreed to use the same Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool that Munn used – and to do it onscreen. Not only was this part of her research for the story, but it would also help raise awareness. What she did not expect was that her risk score ultimately would lead to her own breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 32. Alison bravely shared the news of her diagnosis on national television and has since been transparent in documenting her thoughts and feelings along the way in hopes to help other women feel less alone. We are so excited to have her here today to share her story with all of you.

Gigi Robinson grew up with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that turns your joints into overcooked spaghetti. Instead of letting it sideline her, she built a career out of telling the truth about invisible illness. We talk about what it takes to grow up faster than you should, why chronic illness is the worst unpaid internship, and how she turned her story into a business. You'll hear about her days schlepping to physical therapy before sunrise, documenting the sterile absurdity of waiting rooms, and finding purpose in the mess. Gigi's not interested in pity or polished narratives. She wants you to see what resilience really looks like, even when it's ugly. If you think you know what an influencer does, think again. This conversation will challenge your assumptions about work, health, and what it means to be seen.RELATED LINKSGigi Robinson Website: https://www.gigirobinson.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigirobinsonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgigirobinsonTikTok: @itsgigirobinsonA Kids Book About Chronic Illness: https://akidsco.com/products/a-kids-book-about-chronic-illnessFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Today, we're joined by Karen Powell, a nurse practitioner who not only supports patients through breast reconstruction—but has also walked the journey herself. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Karen gained a new perspective on early detection, the emotional weight of treatment decisions, and the power of having a strong support system. In this episode, she shares how informed choices and personal stories can empower others facing a diagnosis.

Episode Description:If you've ever wondered what happens when a Bronx-born pediatric nurse with stage 4 colon cancer survives, raises a kid, becomes a policy shark, and fights like hell for the ignored, meet Vanessa Ghigliotty. She's not inspirational. She's a bulldozer. We go way back—like pre-Stupid Cancer back—when there was no “young adult cancer movement,” just a handful of pissed-off survivors building something out of nothing. This episode is personal. Vanessa and I built the plane while flying it. She fought to be heard, showed up in chemo dragging her kid to IEP meetings, and never stopped screaming for the rest of us to get what we needed. We talk war stories, progress, side-eyeing advocacy fads, TikTok activism, gatekeeping, policy wins, and why being loud is still necessary. And yeah—she's a damn good mom. Probably a better one than you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to scream into a pillow. Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the righteous anger and iced coffee.RELATED LINKSVanessa on LinkedInColorectal Cancer Alliance: Vanessa's StoryZenOnco Interview with VanessaFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver's role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions. If they're overwhelmed, they stop sending coherent messages.” “The body remembers. If someone hasn't processed grief, it might be stored in their lungs or colon, showing up as chronic inflammation or fatigue.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.”   “Mold and Lyme don't just infect—they distort your body's frequency. That's why they're so hard to detect and treat with conventional methods.”“If we can identify the frequency a pathogen or trauma emits, we can match or cancel it, just like noise-canceling headphones.” - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Dr. Chris Motley Returns for Fourth Episode 01:44 – Building a Friendship Through Shared Health Passion 02:33 – Biohacking Conferences: Trends and Insights 03:09 – Blood Flow and Longevity in Biohacking 04:14 – Chronic Infections and Blood Clotting Issues 05:34 – Red Light's Impact on Blood Health and Cardiovascular Benefits 06:56 – BioCharger: Light and Frequency Healing Technology 08:18 – Anecdotal Success with BioCharger for Parasites 10:03 – Genetic Testing for Personalized Health Solutions 13:46 – Genetic Testing for Hair and Skin Health 15:15 – Molecular Hydrogen: Benefits and Emerging Devices 18:29 – Challenges with Subpar Health Products in the Market 21:04 – Importance of Trustworthy Health Products and Testing 24:21 – BioLight's Upcoming Scientific Studies on Products 27:34 – Red and Blue Light Toothbrush for Oral Health 31:12 – TCM: Teeth, Kidneys, and Meridian Connections 36:50 – Light Therapy's Impact on Kidney and Adrenal Health 39:11 – Oral Health and Its Link to Brain Function 43:40 – Gut Health's Role in Kidney and Bladder Issues 47:09 – Neti Pot and Red Light for Sinus Health 51:39 – Gut-Brain Connection and Glyphosate's Impact 54:13 – TCM Approach to Healing Leaky Gut 58:58 – Glyphosate's Effect on Copper and Joint Health 01:03:54 – Magnetism's Role in Detox and Mitochondrial Health 01:07:06 – Schumann Resonance and Health Impacts of Low Magnetism 01:10:12 – Magnetic Sleep Pads for Regeneration and Health 01:14:15 – Environmental Toxins: EMF and Glyphosate Challenges 01:17:20 – Mitochondrial Function as Key to Immune Health 01:20:02 – Compounding Benefits of Daily Health Practices 01:21:34 – Future Discussion: Lymphatic System and TCM - Where to learn more from and about Dr. Chris Motley:   DoctorMotley.com Instagram Ancient Health Podcast - Optimizing oral health may be the most efficient way to achieve systemic wellness...SAVE 20% this week only on BioLight Oral Care devices!   For the next week, get 20% off all the Illume, Guardian & Guardian+ oral devices!Code: MotleypodcastDiscount is valid through 7/2, midnight, PSTShop Oral Care by clicking here! - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendations: Water products: Water & Wellness Grounding products: Earthing.com EMF-mitigating products: Somavedic Blue light-blocking glasses: Ra Optics - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Website Instagram Facebook

Risa Arin doesn't just talk about health literacy. She built the damn platform. As founder and CEO of XpertPatient.com (yes, expert with no E), Risa's taking a wrecking ball to how cancer education is delivered. A Cornell alum, cancer caregiver, and ex-agency insider who once sold Doritos to teens, she now applies that same marketing muscle to helping patients actually understand the garbage fire that is our healthcare system. We talk about why she left the “complacent social safety” of agency life, how her mom unknowingly used her own site during treatment, what it's like to pitch cancer education after someone pitches warm cookies, and why healthcare should come with a map, a translator, and a refund policy. Risa brings data, chutzpah, and Murphy Brown energy to the conversation—and you'll leave smarter, angrier, and maybe even a little more hopeful.RELATED LINKS• XpertPatient.com• Risa Arin on LinkedIn• XpertPatient & Antidote Partnership• XpertPatient Featured on KTLA• 2024 Health Award BioFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Exploring the Complexities of Pharma Rebates with Ann Lewandowski In this Summer Short episode of Relentless Health Value, host Stacey Richter converses again with Ann Lewandowski about the intricate dynamics of pharmaceutical rebates, or as Lewandowski prefers, post-sale concessions.  The discussion delves into the nuances of these rebates, the impact they have on drug costs, and the hidden consequences for patients and plan sponsors.  They highlight articles and insights by Austin Chelko and Peter Hayes, touching on how rebates can disadvantage the pursuit of lower-cost generics and biosimilars, and can obstruct pharmacogenetic testing that ensures drug efficacy and safety.  The conversation also critiques the opacity of rebates, deemed trade secrets by pharma and PBM companies, and underscores the ethical and financial dilemmas posed by the current rebate-driven system. === LINKS ===

Do you have the MTHFR gene mutation, and feel like it may be what's holding you back from healing?Or - do you not know if you have the MTHFR gene SNP, but wonder if you have it, how much it might be impacting you healing, and what the best testing is for it? If you have ANY question as to how much the MTHFR gene may be impacting your healing, then you DON'T want to miss today's episode. On today's episode, I'm interviewing Functional Genomics expert, Jaclyn Downs, on all things MTHFR and gene mutations. I met Jaclyn recently in the Instagram comments section of my profile when she offered up some free help to someone asking a question about genes. I love Jaclyn's response so much, and upon doing some quick stalking, fell even more in love with her knowledge and approach to genes. Naturally - I just had to have her on the podcast to share her with you all. A bit about Jaclyn: Jaclyn has a master's degree in Holistic Nutrition, a functional nutrigenomics certification from the NutriGenetic Research Institution, and is the author of the academically published book Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve ‘Unexplained' Infertility. On top of gaining her functional nutrigenomics certification from the NutriGenetic Research Institution, Jaclyn helped to create the very same program by working a researcher for Bob Miller, a top genetics researcher, to help create his practitioner certification program. Whether you are new to the conversation on how genes impact our health, or you've been in it a while, I hope my conversation today with Jaclyn is going to help you feel empowered and hopeful that no matter what genes you have - you CAN heal your body.

This week I'm talking with Dr Micah Halpern, a geneticist who has worked with many species including zoo animal population health, and is currently the pricipal scientist and owner of GenSol Diagnostics. Micah and I got nerdy about genetic testing for canine health and other traits - what are some of the different technologies involved, and how do we think about what "accurate" means in terms of results? I've had a long break from recording podcast episodes and I'm coming back gradually. My series of unfortunate injuries seem to be coalescing into chronic pain that makes working difficult. The Functional Dog Collaborative is a high priority for me but sometimes I do have to take a break from this podcast while I recover a bit, and this was one of those times. I hope to have episodes coming out more regularly, but also a bit more slowly than previously, for a while, while I improve and ramp them back up. I appreciate your patience.

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

When a loved one is diagnosed with breast cancer, the journey touches every corner of life —especially for caregivers. In honor of Black Family Cancer Awareness Week, for this powerful episode of Real Pink, we sit down with two incredible Black men of faith, Kenneth White, spiritual adviser and group facilitator for a national addiction treatment center, and John K. Conner of Praise Is the Cure, a nonprofit focused on breast cancer awareness in the Black community, as they open up about supporting their wives through breast cancer. Through a lens of faith and cultural identity, Kenneth and John reflect on what it means to show up with strength and vulnerability, how spirituality grounds their caregiving and the importance of community for Black families facing a diagnosis. Their stories illuminate a side of breast cancer that's often unheard — but deeply needed.

As an obesity medicine doctor, she teaches about cortisol, a stress hormone, in a way that anyone can understand - and how this important chemical can significantly impact weight loss efforts.Listeners will walk away with a new understanding of how to stop battling their biology, reconnect with their bodies, and embrace a compassionate, personalized approach to long-term health.1. The Stress-Weight Loss DisconnectHow cortisol — the body's primary stress hormone — impacts fat retention, appetite, insulin resistance, and even skeletal muscle loss.Why traditional advice (eat less, move more) often fails under chronic stress conditions.2. Cortisol's Five-Fold Impact on Fat LossEnhances fat storage via lipoprotein lipase.Raises blood sugar through gluconeogenesis.Promotes insulin resistance, sabotaging metabolism.Stimulates cravings for sugary, fatty foods.Depletes muscle mass — especially under high-exertion training paired with emotional stress.3. How Stress Alters Appetite & MotivationThe biological basis behind binge-eating urges and low exercise motivation during stress.How stress-related sleep disruption increases ghrelin (hunger) and suppresses leptin (satiety).4. The Power of Genetics and PersonalizationWhy Dr. Novitsky utilizes genetic testing (e.g., Genomind) to identify cortisol-related SNPs and tailor strategies accordingly.Insight into Dr. Novitsky's own cortisol sensitivity and how it shaped her evolution.5. Mind-Body Fitness: A Holistic Training PhilosophyHow Dr. Ali moved from calorie-obsessed fitness to personalized, neuroscience-driven strength training.Why “less is more” when it comes to training under chronic stress and how to work with your nervous system, not against it.Examples of muscle-preserving success — even among clients on GLP-1 medications like her 70-year-old mother-in-law. 6. Transformational Coaching & CommunityA behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Ali's Transform program; not just a fitness plan, but a full-body reset grounded in self-compassion and personal truth.Why clients return not for new content, but for the safe, sustaining sisterhood and the life-changing mental shifts.⏱️ Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction and Eye Appointment00:01:09 - Cortisol Connection with Weight Loss00:02:45 - Genetic Testing and Cortisol Response00:04:10 - Typical Case Scenario00:05:37 - Understanding Cortisol's Impact00:08:06 - Cortisol and Blood Sugar Levels00:09:32 - Cortisol's Effect on Appetite00:10:48 - Skeletal Muscle Mass Loss00:12:57 - The Sleep-Cortisol Relationship00:14:40 - Strategies for Managing Stress00:17:11 - Conclusion and Program Offerings

In this episode, we continue with a special series close to my heart: Decoding Destiny: Navigating Breast Cancer with Genetic Insight. I'm joined by Kathy Baker, patient advocate and founder of My Faulty Gene to explore the power of genetic testing—particularly cascade testing—and how it can help both you and your family take control of your breast cancer risk. Kathy shares her compelling personal story and how it inspired her to launch My Faulty Gene, a nonprofit organization that provides education, emotional support, and financial assistance for genetic testing. You'll learn all about the importance of cascade testing for families, how genetic knowledge can lead to proactive screenings and preventive health measures, and how advocacy is truly paving the way for more accessible care. Whether you're facing a BRCA-positive diagnosis, considering genetic testing, or looking for support navigating hereditary cancer risk, this is one conversation that you'll want to listen to - and share with your entire family.  Thank you to Merck and AstraZeneca for making this episode possible!

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?

If your doctor is recommending that you get a mastectomy, you will likely have some choices about how the surgery is performed. Your breast cancer treatment, your body, your breast shape and your lifestyle affect not only your options, but also the pros and cons of your options. There's no one method that works best for everyone because each person is unique. Today we are going to be exploring one specific type of mastectomy – the nipple-sparing mastectomy. This is a skin-sparing mastectomy that leaves the nipple and areola intact and usually improves the overall look of the reconstructed breast. Joining us on the show today are two very special guests: Dr. Mara Piltin, a Breast and Melanoma Surgical Oncologist and Physician Assistant, Maddie Beiswanger, both from Mayo Clinic. They are going to tell us more about nipple-sparing mastectomy procedures, current research that is being conducted around the use of minimally invasive robotic surgery to assist in these procedures and the possible benefits that these innovations can provide. This episode of The Real Pink Podcast is brought to you by Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive is a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has been advancing minimally invasive care since 1995 with the goal of helping physicians improve the lives of people around the world. You can learn more at www.Intuitive.com

Allyson with a Y. Ocean with two Ls. And zero chill when it comes to changing the face of cancer care. Dr. Allyson Ocean has been quietly—loudly—at the center of every major cancer breakthrough, nonprofit board, and science-backed gut punch you didn't know you needed to hear. In this episode, she joins me in-studio for a conversation two decades in the making. We talk twin life, genetics, mitochondrial disease, and why she skipped the Doublemint Twins commercial but still ended up as one of the most recognizable forces in oncology. We cover her nonprofit hits, from Michael's Mission to Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer to launching the American Jewish Medical Association—yes, that's a thing now. We get personal about compassion in medicine, burnout, bad food science, and microplastics in your blood. She also drops the kind of wisdom only someone with her résumé and sarcasm can. It's raw. It's real. It's the kind of conversation we should've had 20 years ago—but better late than never.RELATED LINKS:– Dr. Allyson Ocean on LinkedIn– Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer– NovoCure Leadership Page– Michael's Mission– American Jewish Medical Association– The POLG Foundation– Cancer Buddy App (Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation)– Dr. Ocean at OncLiveFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Susan G. Komen stands alongside the rest of the cancer community with deep concern about proposed cuts in the federal budget in addition to significant policy changes which could impact access to high-quality, affordable health care. It is hard to weed through the information and to know where things stand at any moment in time so joining us on the show today is Molly Guthrie, Komen's Vice President of Policy and Advocacy. Molly has intimate knowledge of what is happening at all levels of government and is going to share some insight with us about what is truly going on, as well as what we can all do to bring change to end breast cancer.

Sponsored by Invivyd, Inc.Nobody wants to hear about COVID-19 anymore. Especially not cancer patients. But if you've got a suppressed immune system thanks to chemo, radiation, stem cell transplants—or any of the other alphabet soup in your chart—then no, it's not over. It never was. While everyone else is getting sweaty at music festivals, you're still dodging a virus that could knock you flat.In this episode, Matthew Zachary and Matt Toresco say the quiet part out loud: many immunocompromised people may not even know they have options beyond vaccines. Why? Because the system doesn't bother to tell them. So we're doing it instead. We teamed up with Invivyd to help get the word out about tools other than vaccines that can help prevent COVID-19. We break down the why, the what, and the WTF of COVID-19 risk for cancer patients and why every oncologist should be talking about this.No fear-mongering. No sugarcoating. Just two guys with mics who've been through it and want to make sure you don't get blindsided. It's fast, funny, and furious—with actual facts. You've got more power than you think. Time to use it.RELATED LINKSExpand Their OptionsInvivydMatt Toresco on LinkedInOut of Patients podcastFEEDBACKLike this episode? Rate and review Out of Patients on your favorite podcast platform.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONLisa Shufro is the storyteller's storyteller. A musician turned innovation strategist, TEDMed curator, and unapologetic truth-teller, Lisa doesn't just craft narratives—she engineers constellations out of chaos. We go way back to the early TEDMed days, where she taught doctors, scientists, and technocrats how not to bore an audience to death. In this episode, we talk about how storytelling in healthcare has been weaponized, misunderstood, misused, and still holds the power to change lives—if done right. Lisa challenges the idea that storytelling should be persuasive and instead argues it should be connective. We get into AI, the myth of objectivity, musical scars, Richard Simmons, the Vegas healthcare experiment, and the real reason your startup pitch is still trash. If you've ever been told to “just tell your story,” this episode is the permission slip to do it your way. With a bow, not a violin.RELATED LINKSLisa Shufro's WebsiteLinkedInSuper Curious ArchiveEight Principles for Storytelling in InnovationStoryCorps InterviewCoursera Instructor ProfileWhatMatters ProjectFEEDBACKLike this episode?
