Dr. Bogunovic is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the medical director of the alcohol, drug, and addiction outpatient program at McLean Hospital. and Holly directed the documentary As Prescribed. In today's discussion, we dive into the ongoing benzodiazepine crisis in the United States, with over 92 million prescriptions written each year for medications like Ativan, Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin. We discuss the origin of those drugs in the 1970s as treatments for anxiety and how they lead to tremendous physical dependency. Holly shares her experience with the neurological effects she suffered after long-term use of Klonopin, and we examine challenges in psychiatric care, the need for informed consent, and the impact of social media. We also cover the role of lifestyle, the need for psychotherapy and psychosocial support, and the significance of hope. This conversation is truly invaluable! Given how frequently benzodiazepines get prescribed, everyone must understand their associated risks and considerations.

Um dos maiores desafios da imunoterapia é entender como o câncer consegue se esconder do próprio sistema imune.Neste episódio do podcast de Biotech and Health, Camila Pepe e Carolina Abelin conversam com a cientista Marcella Cardoso, da Harvard Medical School e do Massachusetts General Hospital, sobre novas descobertas na área oncológica. A pesquisadora explica como as chamadas células mieloides imunossupressoras (MDSCs) atuam para criar uma barreira protetora ao redor dos tumores, impedindo a ação das células de defesa. Segundo ela, compreender esses mecanismos de evasão imunológica é essencial para desenvolver terapias mais específicas e eficazes.Além da oncologia, a cientista acredita que o conhecimento obtido com novos estudos pode se expandir para outras áreas, como doenças autoimunes e inflamatórias.

Milk has long been sold as the key to strong bones, but research challenges that claim: many people don't tolerate dairy, calcium needs are lower than advertised, and higher milk intake doesn't necessarily prevent fractures. Politics and industry marketing helped set “three glasses a day,” even though healthy bones depend more on overall diet and lifestyle—things like vitamin D, movement, and avoiding soda, excess sugar, and stress that drive calcium loss. Dairy may be helpful for some diets, but it can also trigger bloating, acne, congestion, or digestive issues. The good news is that strong bones and good nutrition are still very doable without cow's milk—think leafy greens, sardines, almonds, chia, and sunshine for vitamin D. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why bone health depends more on diet, lifestyle, and nutrient balance than on dairy. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He co-directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center and founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, one of the nation's largest clinics for children with obesity. For over 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied how diet composition affects metabolism, body weight, and chronic disease risk, focusing on low glycemic index, low-carbohydrate, and ketogenic diets. Called an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, he has championed policy changes to improve the food environment. A Principal Investigator on numerous NIH and philanthropic grants, Dr. Ludwig has published over 200 scientific articles and three books for the public, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Always, Hungry? Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

The Triple Threat to the Rare Disease Ecosystem — A Conversation with Dr. Wendy ChungSometimes you come across someone whose work changes the way you think about an entire field. That's exactly what happened when I read about Dr. Wendy Chung in Rare Revolution Magazine.Dr. Chung is one of those rare people who stands at the intersection of science, medicine, ethics, and humanity. She's a clinical and molecular geneticist, the Chief of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Mary Ellen Avery Professor at Harvard Medical School. She leads NIH-funded research into the genetics of conditions like pulmonary hypertension, autism, birth defects, and a wide range of rare diseases. She's advanced newborn screening for life-threatening disorders like spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy — work that means the difference between life and death for many families. She's been recognized with the Rare Impact Award from NORD, is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, and is a leading voice on the ethics of genomics.But titles and accolades only tell part of her story. What stands out most is her deep commitment to the people behind the science, the families living day in and day out with conditions that most of the world has never heard of.When we spoke, Dr. Chung described what she calls the “triple threat” to the rare disease ecosystem:Misinformation in health that spreads faster than facts and erodes trust in science.Lack of access to healthcare, leaving too many without the treatments they need, when they need them.Insufficient investment in research, slowing the pace of discovery and delaying life-saving therapies.Each of these challenges is daunting on its own, but together they create a fragile and often hostile environment for progress in rare disease research and care.She pointed out that while most genetic conditions are rare individually, collectively they are surprisingly common — affecting millions worldwide. That's a staggering thought, especially considering how little public awareness and funding rare diseases often receive.We also talked about autism, a condition she has studied extensively. She emphasized that autism is a spectrum, with multiple causes, the majority of which are genetic. Understanding that complexity is crucial, not only for advancing science but also for helping families cope and make informed decisions.One of the threads running through our conversation was the urgent need for better communication in science. In an age where misinformation spreads in seconds, the ability to convey facts clearly and accessibly isn't just a nice skill — it's a necessity. Miscommunication or confusion doesn't just impact public opinion; it influences policy decisions, research funding, and the direction of healthcare itself.Dr. Chung stressed that advocacy matters at every level — from the conversations parents have with their children's doctors to the policies shaped in Washington. Community engagement isn't just a feel-good idea; it's one of the most effective ways to accelerate progress. Patients, families, scientists, and policymakers all have a role to play, and collaboration among them is where breakthroughs happen.In the end, our conversation left me with two truths. First, that rare disease progress depends on persistence from so many people. The researchers who refuse to give up, from families who continue to fight for answers, and from advocates who push for change. Second, that truth itself is a kind of medicine. The more accurately, compassionately, and consistently we can communicate about rare diseases, the better chance we have at building a healthcare ecosystem that works for everyone.Dr. Wendy Chung is leading that charge, not just in the lab, but in the public square. And in this fight, both matter equally.

En este episodio de Familias Horribles, conversamos con el Dr. Cristian Zanartu, médico internista y especialista en cuidados paliativos formado en Mount Sinai (afiliado a Columbia University, NY), con entrenamiento en Harvard Medical School.El Dr. Zanartu comparte su recorrido desde la medicina tradicional (donde el paciente se convierte en un “caso clínico”) hasta encontrar una práctica más humana, donde la persona vuelve a ser el centro. Hoy trabaja integrando ciencia, psicoterapia y medicina asistida con ketamina para sanar heridas invisibles: las del alma, el trauma y la pérdida.Con sensibilidad y profundidad, explica cómo el trauma se queda alojado en el cuerpo, cómo las partes internas que alguna vez nos protegieron pueden volverse contra nosotros, y cómo la ketamina, en un contexto terapéutico, puede ayudar a liberar esas memorias, acceder a lo reprimido y permitir que la compasión entre en lugares donde antes solo había dolor.Exploramos temas como:⭐️ El costo emocional de un sistema médico que trata órganos y no personas.⭐️ Qué ocurre cuando la mente se desconecta del cuerpo por trauma.⭐️ Cómo la ketamina terapéutica puede facilitar procesos de reparación emocional.⭐️ La diferencia entre curar y sanar.⭐️ Qué significa acompañar sin volver a traumatizar.⭐️ El diálogo entre ciencia, alma y compasión.⭐️ Por qué sanar requiere tiempo, presencia y amor.Un episodio profundamente humano y revelador sobre lo que ocurre cuando la medicina deja de ser un protocolo y vuelve a ser un encuentro entre dos seres humanos.

In this episode, we explore how mindfulness and yoga can help you decompress stress naturally, both mentally and physically. Modern science continues to confirm what ancient traditions have known for centuries.  That the mind and body are deeply connected, and that mindful presence is one of the antidotes to stress.  Research from institutions like Harvard Medical School and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that mindfulness meditation and yoga lower levels of cortisol---the body's primary stress hormone. They also activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the body's natural “rest and digest” mode, which slows heart rate, improves focus, and promotes emotional regulation. You'll discover simple yet powerful practices that quiet mental distractions, release stored tension, and help you cultivate balance. Learn practical ways to help you navigate life's challenges. Get ready to decompress, improve focus, and feel grounded—whether you're at home, at work, or on the go.

Nothing beats a good cup of coffee, but nothing also beats a good night's sleep. With the switch back to standard time right around the corner, our bodies will once again feel the disorientation of the 1 hour shift. The sun will rise and set earlier, and maybe it's time we move with the light instead of trying to ignore nature's clock. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Elizabeth Klerman, a professor of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. They break down the dos and don'ts of sleep, how to take advantage of the time change to catch some extra zzz's, and how it's important to actually listen to your body when it's telling you something.

"My ideas are often labelled as impossible, or useless, or both. Usually when people say that I'm on the right track."George Church is a geneticist, molecular engineer, and one of the pioneers of modern genomics. He's also someone who makes a habit of finding solutions to the seemingly impossible.Over the course of his career so far, George developed the first method for direct genomic sequencing, helped initiate the Human Genome Project, and founded the Personal Genome Project: making huge quantities of DNA data publicly available for research. Today, as a professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT, he's working on some of the most headline-grabbing - and controversial - science on the planet: from the so-called "de-extinction" of woolly mammoths, to growing transplant-suitable organs in pigs, to virus-proofing humans.When inspiration strikes, there seems to be little that will slow him down - even the fact that he has narcolepsy, the neurological disorder that causes sudden sleep attacks. In fact, as George tells Professor Jim Al-Khalili, some of his best ideas come in those moments between waking and sleep...Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC Studios

S7 E1: Parenting anxious youth w/Dr. Meredith Elkins and Dr. Julia Martin BurchIn this episode, Gerald and Alexis sit down to chat with child psychologists who have expertise in parenting anxiety youth - Dr. Meredith Elkins and Dr. Julia Martin Burch. Anxiety has been a term used more often than ever in the past few decades, with mental health awareness making large strides. However, at the same time, youth mental health has actually declined during this time. It has been argued that psychological and social interventions need to be at the forefront of supporting youth's mental health. In our discussion, we address topics like what contributes to anxiety coming about in the first place, how anxiety gets maintained, communication patterns, parental concerns about whether to encourage bravery versus accommodating avoidance, problem-solving, societal pressures faced by parents, and much more. Dr. Meredith Elkins is a clinical psychologist specializing in the research and treatment of anxiety and related disorders in children, adolescents, and parents. She is a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and Co-Program Director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital, an intensive outpatient program for anxious youth. She also maintains a private practice focused on anxiety in new and expectant mothers and in parents navigating the challenges of raising children. Her work is grounded in the conviction that supporting parents is essential to helping children thrive.Julia Martin Burch, PhD is a clinical child psychologist and founder and director of Do What Works, a group practice based in Boston (and also providing virtual therapies in other states) dedicated to providing evidence-based therapy to young people and their families.

This is episode, we'll look at a national effort to advance clinical research and patient care through artificial intelligence. AI depends on data that are large, diverse, and well-labeled -- in contrast, most clinical data are siloed, inconsistent, and biased toward certain populations. The CHoRUS Network, part of the NIH's Bridge2AI consortium, is standardizing and harmonizing data from many hospitals so they can actually be used for training machine-learning models. Dr. Eric Rosenthal is Contact PI for the CHoRUS Network, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and an epileptologist, clinical neurophysiologist, and neurointensivist at Mass General Brigham. He was interviewed about CHoRUS by Dr. Masoom Desai, neurointensivist at the University of New Mexico and site PI for the CHoRUS Network.

Most people don't realize that what happens in the mouth can ripple through the whole body. The balance of the oral microbiome—the community of bacteria living in our mouths—can either protect us or trigger widespread inflammation that affects the heart, joints, and brain. Hidden dental infections or mercury fillings can quietly drive fatigue, autoimmune issues, or dementia—and fixing the mouth often helps the rest of the body heal, too. The good news is that with simple steps like eating whole foods (often removing gluten), cleaning the mouth well, and breathing through the nose, we can protect both our smile and our overall health. When we care for the mouth as part of the body, lasting wellness becomes possible from the inside out. In this episode, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, James Nestor, and I talk about how a healthy mouth microbiome is a key to whole-body wellness. 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. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, The United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more.

In this Season 14 review (episode 376) Andrea Samadi revisits highlights from her interview with Dr. John Ratey about the science of exercise, nutrition, and social connection for brain health and longevity. The episode explains Peter Attia's rule for foundational fitness, warns against sugar dependence and fat phobia, and presents the three biggest levers for healthy aging: exercise, diet, and social connection, plus practical tips to track and apply these habits. Takeaway: prioritize consistent movement, whole foods, and meaningful connection to boost mood, memory, and overall well-being. On today's episode #376, we review PART 2 of our 2021 interview with Dr. John Ratey and will learn: ✔  3 Science-backed keys to brain health: Exercise, Nutrition and Connection ✔ What is Attia's Rule that allows us to dive deep into diet and nutrition? ✔ Practical Tips for improving consistent movement, our diet and social connection to boost overall well-being and brain health.  Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 376: PART 2 Featuring Dr. John Ratey For today's Episode 376, we continue with PART 2 of our review with Dr. John Ratey, covering the first health staple that we know is scientifically proven to boost our physical and mental health: exercise.  We first met Dr. Ratey on Episode 116[i]  (back in March 2021) on his book “The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain.” Dr. Ratey is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an internationally recognized expert in Neuropsychiatry. Dr. Ratey has published over 60 peer-reviewed articles and 11 books in 17 languages. You'll notice that around the time of the pandemic, in 2020, our interviews took a turn towards health and wellness, and to stay on track, I created a framework of our Top 5 Health Staples on Episode 87[ii], which eventually evolved into our Top 6 Health Staples.

Private equity investment in health care facilities has grown substantially in the past decade. There have been hundreds of such acquisitions of health care facilities in the past decade, including physician practices, nursing home facilities, and hospitals involving hundreds of billions of dollars.At its most basic, private equity investors take over a health care company with the intention of increasing its value and reselling it for a profit. Advantages of such a strategy can be more capital investment and management expertise. Downsides include the use of leveraged buyouts that could saddle the acquired company with high levels of debt. On this episode, we're joined by Dr. Zuri Song, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School, and an expert on the financial incentives, public policies, and private sector investment in the health care system. Dr. Song explained what research has found in studying private equity acquisitions in health care. On average, he said, these investments raise real concerns about both patient outcomes and access to care.State legislatures are at the forefront of regulation in this area with much of the regulation focusing on increased transparency into these transactions. I talked with two state legislators to get their perspective: Senator Tyler Johnson, a Republican from Indiana who is also a physician, and Senator Cindy Friedman, a Democrat from Massachusetts. They each discussed the legislative action in their states and how they view private equity investment.ResourcesThe Evolving Landscape of State Health Care Transaction Laws, NCSL Health Costs, Coverage and Delivery Database, NCSL 

Dan Sullivan and Peter Diamandis dive into the evolving concept of longevity, reframing it as age reversal. They discuss the ground-breaking work of David Sinclair, a leading researcher at Harvard Medical School, and his contributions to epigenetic age reversal. The conversation highlights the public's perception of aging and longevity, emphasizing the desire for not just a longer life, but a healthier and more vibrant one. In this episode: The shift from longevity to age reversal is now a more immediate and measurable goal in health and wellness. AI and robotics is accelerating research and development in age-reversal therapies and diagnostics. Muscle strength, particularly leg strength, is a key indicator of longevity and overall health.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Alexandra Fuss, Ph.D., Director of Behavioral Medicine in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital and Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Alexandra previously served as Director of Behavioral Health in Digestive Diseases and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale, and is a National Scientific Advisor for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and Associate Editor of Crohn's & Colitis 360 Journal. Together, we unpack the topic of medical gaslighting and invalidation in gastrointestinal care, what it is, why patients with gut–brain disorders are particularly vulnerable, and how subtle or systemic factors can leave patients feeling dismissed. Alexandra also shares practical strategies clinicians can use to build trust, improve communication, and ensure patients feel genuinely heard and cared for. Whether you've ever felt your symptoms weren't taken seriously, or you're a clinician wanting to better support your patients, this episode offers insightful and actionable guidance you won't want to miss. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Alexandra Fuss.

When cancer treatment ends, the world expects celebration. The bell is rung, and everyone around breathes a sigh of relief. But for many survivors, that moment marks not an ending, but a new, confusing beginning. The medical team steps back, the appointments stop, and a quiet question creeps in: now what? Survivorship is more than the absence of disease. It's the long, often lonely process of learning how to live again, in a body, mind, and identity forever changed. Fatigue lingers. Treatment dulls memory and focus. Sleep becomes elusive. And beneath it all is the fear: what if it comes back? But what if recovery after cancer isn't just about waiting for the next scan; it's about reclaiming control? Through lifestyle medicine, survivors can begin to rebuild their strength, calm their nervous system, and lower their risk of recurrence. What measures are important for the survivor phase of cancer care? Why is connection and community so important? In this episode, the Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, Dr. Amy Comander, returns. The pioneer in lifestyle medicine for survivorship joins us to share what true recovery looks like. She shares insights from her groundbreaking Paving the Path to Wellness program, and we talk about how to have a healthy life after the end of cancer treatment. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Survivorship isn't just surviving Finishing treatment is only the beginning of recovery. How do survivors move from merely existing to truly thriving? -Movement as medicine Exercise doesn't just build strength; it improves outcomes and lowers recurrence risk. What type of movement makes the biggest impact after cancer? -Food over fear The right diet can reduce inflammation, support immunity, and ease anxiety about recurrence. What does the research actually say about the best foods for survivors, and which supplements to avoid? -The overlooked healing power of connection Support groups and social bonds can dramatically improve the quality of life and survival. Why is community one of the most potent yet underused forms of medicine? Guest Bio Dr. Amy Comander specializes in the care of women with breast cancer.

Get started with 1 month free of Superhuman today, using my link: https://try.sprh.mn/briankeating Today's guest made bacteria immune to every virus that exists. This breakthrough could revolutionize medicine by creating virus proof cell therapies and potentially extending this protection to human cells. Also demonstrating that we can fundamentally rewrite the language of life itself, something that was previously thought impossible. George Church is a Harvard Medical School genetics professor and pioneer of synthetic biology. He's an entrepreneur who's found in multiple biotech companies and is known for pushing the boundaries between science fiction and reality. His team just did something that sounds like pure science fiction. They made living cells completely immune to every virus on Earth. That resistant immune, every single virus that tries to infect your cells just fails. The viruses can't evolve around it. Here's the wild part. They didn't add anything new. They just removed a few letter from the genetic alphabet. But George isn't stopping there. He wants to do this to human cells. He's talking about engineering astronauts for Mars missions, bringing back wooly mammoths, and maybe even, just maybe, making humans virus proof to the implications are staggering. The ethics are murky. And the timeline. Well, if church's track record tells us anything is happening far faster than we think.
