I had an instant connection with Kirsten Harrison…we had a “vetting” phone call several weeks before we recorded her episode, and I truly wish I had recorded that conversation and made it a part of this weeks' episode so that you could actually hear that connection! Kirsten and her work are truly inspiring and captivating. Read on, if you would: Dr. Kirsten Harrison has dedicated her career to understanding trauma and guiding survivors through some of life's most difficult psychological and spiritual transitions. With research experience at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and advanced studies at Georgetown, Pepperdine, and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Harrison brings a wealth of knowledge and clinical skill to her work. Yet, as she shares in this episode, it is the lived experiences of her clients — their creativity, resilience, and will to survive — that have most profoundly shaped her philosophy and practice. As we talked, Kirsten took the conversation deep into the realities of trauma treatment, including her decades of work with PTSD, dissociation, and near-death experiences. She told me not only about her clinical insight and practices, but also her striking view of humanity, and her approach to healing, emphasizing that it is never linear, nor is it confined to a single framework. Instead, it is forged in the bravery of those willing to confront their trauma and fight for their own transformation. A central part of our discussion centered on her groundbreaking book, I, Sean/a: The Story of a Homeless Intersex Woman Who Inspired a Community. Co-authored with Sean/a Smith, the book chronicles the life of an intersex woman living with schizophrenia who endured nearly two decades of homelessness yet never lost her voice or her hope. Through Sean/a's story, Dr. Harrison exposes the failures of outdated medical practices, the destructive force of stigma, and the radical resilience it takes to survive and inspire change. This episode is an invitation to see trauma, healing, and identity through a wider lens. Dr. Harrison's wisdom and candor challenge us all to confront hard truths while also offering a vision of what is possible when compassion and science meet in service of dignity and justice. I truly hope to continue working with Dr. Harrison on widening both of our platforms!

Like any card-carrying Italian worth his focaccia, singer Matteo Bocelli says he could eat pasta for breakfast, lunch and dinner! From his home in Tuscany, Matteo tells host Rachel Belle about the super-simple, but deeply delicious, sauce recipe he’s been trying to perfect, inspired by a three-Michelin-star restaurant, and why you should always choose Italian pasta made from ancient grains. You’ve probably heard the tales: A gluten-sensitive American travels to Italy or France, and can magically stuff their face with croissants, baguettes and pasta without any negative consequences. Rachel asks Dr. Alessio Fasano, professor of nutrition and a Celiac and gluten expert and researcher at Harvard Medical School, if, and how, this is possible. Matteo just released his second album, Falling in Love, and if his name sounds familiar, it’s because his dad is Andrea Bocelli, the famous Italian singer.

In this episode of Pulse, we launch our new alternating format with a deep-dive interview. Louise and George are joined by Dr Charlotte Blease, Associate Professor in Health Informatics at Uppsala University and researcher in Digital Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, to discuss her newly released book Dr Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us and How AI Could Save Lives.Charlotte argues that our very humanness—the biases, blind spots, and emotional complexities of both clinicians and patients—can undermine the delivery of healthcare. Through a mix of anthropology, psychology, and digital health insight, she explores how AI could play a role in improving consultations, reducing information asymmetry, and supporting both patients and clinicians in making better decisions.Together, we cover:Why Charlotte wrote Dr Bot and why it matters nowHow our nature as humans shapes (and sometimes limits) care deliveryThe role of technology in empathy, bias, and knowledge managementPatients' stories, from everyday encounters to high-profile examples like Lisa Marie Presley and Serena WilliamsWhether we can truly remodel healthcare around the patientThe promises and pitfalls of big tech, surveillance capitalism, and regulation in healthHow AI could shift the culture of medicine, super-charge research, and reimagine the future of healthcareWhether you're a clinician, innovator, or simply curious about the intersection of medicine and technology, this conversation will get you thinking about the future of care.Resources:Dr Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us and How AI Could Save Lives – available now, releasing in Australia on 11 October (pre-order available)Follow Dr Charlotte Blease on LinkedInTo win a copy of Dr Bot: rate and review the pod in your app of choice, send us a screenshot at pulsepod@pulseit.newsVisit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.

Disappointment. Rejection. Failing to meet their goals. It's so tough to watch our kids struggle when they're feeling the discomfort of disappointment. I often call myself “a fixer in recovery that QUITE often relapses”. I have a joy agenda for the people I love. Sometimes my own discomfort over their discomfort leads to a relapse. I jump into full on fixer mode and forget that the growth mostly happens because of the messy human moments. Pain and uncertainty are as much a part of the human experience as success and happiness. It's called the Law of Polarity. Life involves both the good and the bad. What if the real goal of parenting is to help our kiddos build resilience, so they can handle the hard things without losing hope?My guest this time thinks so, and I think she's onto something huge. Dr. Kate Lund is an expert on how to build resilience in ourselves and our kids. Her experience of growing up in a supportive family helped her deal with a painful chronic illness. Now, she teaches parents how to model resilience and prepare kids to navigate the world with confidence.Something clicked while listening?We'd love to talk with you if you want to dig deeper into your family's specific situation.

Send us a textIn this podcast episode, a pediatric gastroenterologist, Pediatric GI expert Dr. Victoria Martin joins me to demystify milk intolerance in babies—what FPIAP and cow's milk protein intolerance really mean, why these diagnoses are tricky, and how families can find practical, evidence-based solutions.shares her expertise on milk intolerances in infants. Dr. Martin emphasizes the importance of supporting breastfeeding mothers, addressing misconceptions about milk allergies, and the potential benefits of early allergen exposure. Additionally, Dr. Martin and the host discuss the role of lactose intolerance, and nutritional considerations for infants. Dr. Victoria (Tori) Martin is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Co-Director of the Pediatric Gastroenterology Section of the Food Allergy Center at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, and Associate Program Director of the MGHfC Pediatric GI Fellowship. Her research focuses on early-life GI health, food antigens, and the infant microbiome.Key takeaways“Lactose intolerance” is not a typical infant diagnosis; infant concerns are usually protein related.Microscopic stool blood alone has limits—treat the baby, not just the test.For breastfed infants with visible blood and discomfort, consider short, targeted milk-protein elimination, then a re-challenge in ~1 month to confirm diagnosis and avoid unnecessary long-term restriction.Hypoallergenic formulas are an option; prioritize growth, feeding comfort, and family well-being.Early, safe introduction of other allergens (e.g., peanut, egg) should still proceed on schedule unless otherwise directed by your clinician.Your Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids.

On today's episode we're focusing on the management of borderline hip dysplasia with Dr. Travis Matheney, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital. We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on the treatment options for borderline hip dysplasia. We'll start off our discussion today with an article titled “Periacetabular Osteotomy Improves Pain and Function in Patients With Lateral Center-edge Angle Between 18° and 25°, but Are These Hips Really Borderline Dysplastic?” Dr. Michael McClincy and team at Boston Children's Hospital concluded that patients with a lateral center edge angles of 18-25 frequently have other radiographic features of dysplasia suggestive of abnormal femoral head coverage by the acetabulum and that these hips may be inappropriately labeled as “borderline” or “mild” dysplasia. The authors recommended a more thorough radiographic evaluation of the patient with suspected dysplasia, including measurement of the Tonnis angle, FEAR index, anterior and posterior wall index, and anterior center edge angle.We are joined today by Dr. Travis Matheney, an Assistant Professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School and pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital. He has a particular interest in pediatric hip pathology and is part of the Child & Young Adult Hip Preservation program at Boston Children's. Dr. Matheney trained Ashley and I during our residency at Harvard, so we're very excited to have him join us today and share his wisdom on this controversial topic.

In this episode I'm digging into the state of healthcare in the United States: the only country in the developed world that believes health care is best delivered as a luxury product. Everywhere else, people go to the doctor when they're sick. In America, you go only if you're sick and your credit score is feeling strong. They treat hospitals like casinos: you walk in, take your chances, and hope you don't lose the house on the way out. Other nations pride themselves on how they treat the less fortunate. Americans think of healthcare as a benefit for capitalist success. If you can't afford insurance and get sick you've been judged unworthy to live. Troyen A.

In this episode, I dive into the complexities of autoimmunity and the gut-brain axis with Dr. Datis Kharrazian, one of the leading voices in functional medicine. What strikes me about our conversation is how he connects the dots between environment, genetics, and lifestyle, painting a clear picture of why autoimmune diseases are on the rise and why they're so difficult to treat. Dr. Kharrazian breaks down how and why the immune system malfunctions, and more importantly, how lifestyle adaptations can play a pivotal role in managing these conditions. Together, we explore the principles of functional medicine and how they reshape chronic disease care, while also looking at the latest insights into the gut microbiome, its impact on brain health, and the links to conditions like Alzheimer's and long COVID. This episode is packed with professional insights, practical takeaways, and a vision of how functional medicine can transform patient care in today's world. Key Takeaways: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, with factors such as environmental exposure and genetic susceptibility being key contributors. Functional medicine prioritizes enhancing bodily functions rather than simply inhibiting disease symptoms, offering a promising approach for managing chronic diseases. Lifestyle factors like sleep, stress management, and exercise play a crucial role in managing autoimmune conditions and maintaining overall health. The gut-brain axis is integral to understanding and treating neurological conditions, with bidirectional communication between these systems influencing health outcomes. Precision diagnostics and individualized care models are essential for effective functional medicine practice, emphasizing the need for education in the field. Dr. Datis Kharrazian is a clinical research scientist, academic professor, and a functional medicine healthcare provider. He is an Associate Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Dr. Kharrazian earned a PhD in Health Science with concentrations in immunology and toxicology, and a Doctor of Health Science degree from Nova Southeastern University. He also holds a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences, and a Master of Medical Sciences degree in Clinical Investigation from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kharrazian completed his post-doctoral research training at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a researcher at Harvard Medical School for seven years. Currently, he serves as the academic director of the Kharrazian Institute and the Academy of Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine.

Many psychiatric labels—like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia—can obscure underlying biology, and symptom checklists often fail to explain or heal what's really going on. Emerging evidence reframes mental illness as a problem of brain energy, mitochondria, and inflammation—shaped by insulin signaling, circadian rhythm disruption, the gut–brain axis, toxins, infections, and nutrient status. Metabolic interventions such as ketogenic nutrition, already established for epilepsy, show promise for rebalancing neurotransmitters, lowering neuroinflammation, and improving overall brain function. With depression now a leading cause of disability, shifting from “manage the symptoms” to “fix the biology” could dramatically improve outcomes where standard drugs fall short. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Palmer, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Iain Campbell and I explore how rethinking mental illness as a metabolic and inflammatory disorder of the brain—rather than just a chemical imbalance—could transform the treatment and prevention of conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Dr. Chris Palmer is a psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For over 25 years, he has held leadership roles in psychiatric education, conducted research, and worked with people who have treatment-resistant mental illnesses. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders - conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. More broadly, he is interested in the roles of metabolism and metabolic interventions on brain health. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. lain Campbell is the first academic research fellow to specialise in Metabolic Psychiatry as the Baszucki Research Fellow in Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. He has a PhD in Global Health from the University of Edinburgh and is a principal investigator on a pilot trial of a ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder. He is a workstream lead and co-investigator on the first publicly funded research hub for Metabolic Psychiatry, the UKRI Medical Research Council Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry at the University of Edinburgh. His research in metabolic psychiatry has been published in Nature press journals Molecular Psychiatry and Translational Psychiatry and presented at Mayo Clinic Grand Rounds and The Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.

Together we explore: Why kids' struggles are more about lagging skills than lack of motivation. The importance of empathy, co-regulation, and relationship-building in reducing conflict. The 3 “plans” parents can choose from when kids aren't meeting expectations—and how to use them effectively. How Collaborative Problem Solving offers a structured yet compassionate alternative to “tough love” or “gentle parenting.” Practical ways to use this approach proactively and in the heat of the moment. How practicing this method not only improves behavior, but also fosters resilience, flexibility, and stronger parent–child bonds. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or clinician, this conversation offers practical tools and a fresh perspective to help you support kids with understanding, structure, and collaboration LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

This book will change your life, as an IBS patient. A Unique, Pivotal and “out of the box” Book about Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The author of this book is Dr. Mohammad Farivar, an exceptional gastroenterologist with extensive expertise in the management of inflammatory bowel disease. He has served as a Professor at Harvard Medical School, Boston University, and Tufts University. Millions of people in the United States are suffering from IBS like symptoms. They are being diagnosed and treated as IBS. The purpose of this book is to help these patients figure out what is causing their symptoms and take care of it. For the majority of them diet is the culprit and by recognizing and avoiding it one can put an end to future suffering. In this book, more than 40 reasons are blamed and several real life examples illustrate how difficult it may be to find the cause if you are not knowledgeable about the pathophysiology of GI tract and digestion and absorption of food.
In episode 56 of Going anti-Viral, Dr Steven Grinspoon joins host Dr Michael Saag to discuss managing cardiovascular health in people with HIV. Dr Grinspoon is a clinician in the Neuroendocrine and Pituitary Tumor Clinical Center and faculty member at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is a clinical researcher who studies hypothalamic control of body weight and fat distribution in obesity and lipodystrophy with a focus on the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of visceral fat accumulation. Dr Grinspoon provides an overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV including a review of the REPRIEVE study that evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV. Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon detail the REPRIEVE study results demonstrating that statins lower baseline low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and discuss the cardiovascular health benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol levels. They discuss arterial plaque, how it is measured and whether plaque can regress individuals on statins. Finally, Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon discuss goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVE and other studies looking into the benefits of statins in other populations.0:00 – Introduction1:28 – Overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV 3:23 – Overview of the REPRIEVE study, which evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV10:51 – REPRIEVE study results lowering baseline LDL cholesterol 13:26 – Follow-up studies in people who do not have HIV16:20 – How plaque is measured in the arteries19:40 – Regression of plaque in patients using statins 21:15 – Top goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVEResources: REPRIEVE Study: https://www.reprievetrial.org/ __________________________________________________Produced by IAS-USA, Going anti–Viral is a podcast for clinicians involved in research and care in HIV, its complications, and other viral infections.

With a growing number of students entering college with an existing mental health diagnosis, College Mental Health 101: A Guide for Students, Parents, and Professionals (Oxford UP, 2025) offers hope and clear direction to those struggling with mental illness. There is an undeniable mental health crisis on campuses these days. More students are anxious, depressed, drinking, and self-harming than ever before. The statistics are startling: 50% of mental health issues begin by age 14, 75% by age 24, while suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults. And yet even while more students are struggling, more students than ever are breaking through stigma, seeking help, and sharing openly in person and social media about their challenges. College Mental Health 101 offers more answers, relief, resources, and research backed information for families, students, and staff already at college or beginning the application process. With simple charts and facts, informal self-assessments, quick tips for students and those who support them, the book includes hundreds of voices addressing common concerns. Basics like picking and contacting a therapist, knowing your rights, disclosing to friends and family, advice on medication and time off, are all covered in brief digestible sections. The book also offers support and understanding to families and friends of struggling students who are often uncertain of where else to turn for expert advice. Packed with hundreds of expert and student voices, three diverse experts in the field have assembled the right resources at the right time. Christopher Willard is a clinical psychologist, author, and consultant based in Massachusetts. He teaches at Harvard Medical School. Learn more about your ad choices.

How can AI improve our healthcare industry? In this episode, Dr Emma Yhnell speaks to health informaticist and author Dr Charlotte Blease about the role AI could play in the future of medicine, from making it more accessible to helping lighten the hours of a burnt-out workforce. Healthcare systems around the world are under mounting pressure. Healthcare professionals are amongst the most overworked, with half of all US doctors being burnt out and 42% of UK doctors feeling unable to cope with their weekly workload. Studies show that burnout is linked to increased rates of error and harm, which in the medical industry could mean the difference between catching a diagnosis in time or risking a patient's life. But Dr Charlotte Blease argues that this need not be the case. It is time to thoughtfully implement the new technologies of our age to revolutionize the healthcare industry. AI can help us to overhaul a system that is reaching capacity and has the potential to change lives, both for doctors and their patients. Dr Charlotte Blease is a health informaticist with a background in philosophy. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed journals and books on healthcare and is an Associate Professor at the Participatory eHealth and Health Data Research Group at Uppsala University and Researcher at Digital Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. Her latest book is Dr Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail and How AI Could Save Lives.

(Episode #289) Anxiety doesn't mean something is wrong with you. It may be the very sign you are moving closer to your truth. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Rosmarin, associate professor at Harvard Medical School and founder of the Center for Anxiety, to reframe everything we have been taught about anxiety. Rather than seeing it as a flaw or disorder, Dr. Rosmarin shares how anxiety can actually be a source of connection, motivation, and deep self-discovery. Together, we explore how anxiety often shows up when we are pursuing something meaningful, and why embracing it instead of resisting it can bring out strength, closeness, and even spiritual growth. If you have ever wondered whether your anxiety could hold hidden wisdom, this conversation will help you shift your relationship with it in a profound and life-changing way. Episode Highlights: (00:00) Embracing anxiety as a guide (17:47) Facing fears to build resilience (27:05) The spectrum of anxiety levels (28:41) The practice of letting go (31:12) Culture's role in rising anxiety (37:51) Where spirituality meets psychology Stay in touch with Dr. Rosmarin here: https://dhrosmarin.com/ The Intuition Activation Mentorship is back!

This week, Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford joins us for a compassionate conversation about weight, health, and healing. We're exploring why obesity should be understood as a chronic disease, not a moral failing, and discussing new treatment options like GLP-1 medications that are changing lives. Dr. Stanford is an obesity medicine Physician-Scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. What makes her perspective so valuable is that she understands the unique experiences of Black women navigating weight and health in a world that often judges us harshly. As one of the few Black women leading research in this field, she sees how chronic stress, systemic barriers, and generational trauma show up in our bodies in ways that traditional medicine has often overlooked. During our conversation, we talk about the science behind weight regulation, how new medications actually work, and why it's time to move beyond BMI as the only measure of health. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
