Mac and his wife, Cindy, live in Charleston, SC. Together, Mac and Dr. Hassell discuss how everyday choices about food, exercise, and discipline have a far greater impact on long-term well-being than prescriptions or quick fixes. From processed foods to self-discipline, the conversation highlights how living with purpose and stewardship over our health can transform not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. Key Takeaways: Personal responsibility matters: Good decisions about diet and lifestyle often outweigh a doctor's prescription. Whole foods over processed foods: Industrial oils, refined carbs, and protein powders are linked to disease, while traditional, whole foods support health. Discipline turns into habit: Self-control in health choices eventually becomes automatic, shaping long-term well-being. Exercise with purpose: Frequent, simple activity—even just a few minutes a day—improves health and prevents decline. Faith and stewardship: Caring for your body honors God, sets an example for family, and reduces avoidable burdens on yourself and others. Purpose protects the brain: Living with intention and meaning reduces risks of cognitive decline and promotes a healthier, more productive, more enjoyable life.

In this episode of Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD unpacks the common health “distractions” that steal attention, money, and energy from what really matters for your well-being. From the sugar wars (high fructose corn syrup vs. cane sugar), to food dyes, celebrity health fads, and fancy but questionable medical tests, we explore how to separate hype from evidence. Key Takeaways: High fructose corn syrup and cane sugar are equally harmful—what matters is cutting refined sugars overall. Food dyes aren't the main problem—we shouldn't be eating the ultra-processed foods they come in. Many “advanced” blood or imaging tests do more harm than good, often creating anxiety without improving health. Be skeptical of celebrity-driven health advice and “secret” cures. Good health outcomes are the fruit of basic healthy lifestyle habits: whole foods meals made in your kitchen, daily exercise, maintaining a healthy waistline, and purposeful living. If you're ready to stop chasing distractions and start focusing on the proven fundamentals of health, this episode is for you.

Surfactants are indispensable in the production of biologics, vaccines, and cell therapies. Yet for years, they've posed a persistent challenge: they are notoriously difficult to monitor accurately and in real time. That challenge is now being addressed by Nirrin and its groundbreaking Atlas platform, a real-time spectroscopy solution that is reshaping how biomanufacturers measure and manage surfactants. In this episode of The Cell Culture Dish podcast, Editor Brandy Sargent spoke with Bryan Hassell, Founder and CEO of Nirrin, and Hannah Furrelle, Analytical Scientist at the company, to discuss the science behind Atlas and its implications for bioprocessing. Real-Time Data Without Compromise At the core of Atlas's innovation is its ability to provide high-quality quantitative data in under a minute—without any sample preparation. “The real breakthrough with Atlas is speed with confidence,” explained Hassell. “Time to market for biopharma is increasingly critical, yet a lot of critical decisions still rely on data from assays that take days or even months. Atlas changes that.” Unlike traditional techniques, which often require significant sample manipulation and suffer from matrix interference, Atlas uses high-precision tunable laser spectroscopy to directly analyze samples in their native form. “What makes Atlas so powerful is that we're looking at the sample without altering it,” Furrelle explained. “That means the data we get is true to the process—there's no distortion from prep steps or artifacts introduced by the method.” Moving Beyond PLS: A New Modeling Approach One of the technological breakthroughs enabling this leap in performance is Nirran's move away from PLS models in favor of an iterative optimization framework. This approach eliminates the need for extensive training data, reducing model complexity while increasing robustness and flexibility. “Where a PLS model might need 20 to 30 bioreactor runs to build a dataset, Atlas delivers data on the fly,” Hassell said. “It's not only faster, it's more robust, more compliant, and more versatile—especially for applications like scale-up or tech transfer, where traditional models often break down.” Applications Across the Biomanufacturing Workflow Atlas is already being integrated into real-world bioprocessing environments, including both batch and continuous manufacturing. In batch processes, manufacturers use Atlas to confirm critical parameters—like protein and excipient concentrations—before proceeding to the next unit operation. This enables earlier course corrections and helps prevent downstream failures. “In the past, you either waited days for lab results or moved forward at risk,” said Hassell. “Atlas provides the immediate answers needed to make confident decisions in the moment.” For continuous manufacturing, the value is equally profound. Atlas provides the real-time, quantitative feedback necessary for dynamic process control. “You can't have continuous processing without real-time data,” he said. “Atlas gives you the insights needed to support real-time decisions at every step.” Eliminating Risk with No-Prep Analysis One of Atlas's standout features is its ability to deliver no-prep analysis. This eliminates sources of variability that often arise during sample handling and processing. “We're scanning samples in their native form,” said Furrelle. “That means what we're measuring reflects what's actually in the process—without distortion from dilutions or centrifugation.” This no-prep capability also speeds up workflows and eliminates risk by allowing operators to verify component concentrations instantly before committing to the next step in production. Laying the Foundation for Smart Biomanufacturing Nirrin sees Atlas not just as a data tool, but as a stepping stone to smart biomanufacturing. Although full automation isn't yet widespread, Atlas is helping to lay the groundwork by delivering trustworthy real-time data,
In this episode, Miles Hassell MD, an internal medicine physician from Portland, Oregon, dives deep into one of the most important responsibilities of parenthood—feeding your kids well. He tackles the real-life challenges families face in a world dominated by ultra-processed foods, marketing traps, and busy schedules. Learn how simple, home-cooked meals can drastically improve your child's mental and physical health, prevent chronic diseases, and build lifelong habits. From breakfast hacks to family cooking tips, this episode is a practical and inspiring guide for every parent. Key Takeaways: Feeding kids well is a moral imperative, not just a preference—it's as crucial as seatbelts and helmets. Ultra-processed foods are linked to obesity, anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, poor academic performance, and chronic disease. Kids should eat the same real food as adults—there's no need for special “kid food.” Cooking at home is key: it saves money, teaches life skills, and builds family bonds. Start early and be strategic: gradual changes, fun family cooking, and healthy treats can transform habits. Avoid food “traps” like sugary drinks, protein bars, commercial bread, and snacks marketed as healthy. Practical meal ideas include homemade overnight whole intact grain cereals, veggie-packed frittatas, home-baked bread, and simple snacks like fruit and cheese. Build a home culture of movement, socializing, reading, and resilience alongside nutrition. Let's raise healthy, capable kids—one homemade meal at a time.

In this episode, Miles Hassell MD breaks down the often misunderstood world of cooking oils. From olive oil to avocado oil, he explains which fats support long-term health—and which ones belong in the trash. Key Takeaways: Extra virgin olive oil is the only widely available oil with strong evidence supporting real health benefits. Avocado, canola, and other industrial oils are ultra-processed, taste terrible without the help of BigFood processing techniques, and lack nutritional value. Avocados are good food though...thinly sliced, they top any meal or snack nicely. Don't be fooled by labels like “cold-pressed”—many oils still undergo high-heat processing (up to 500°F). Call the manufacturer to find out how their oil is processed. Traditional fats like butter, coconut oil, and sesame oil—used historically and minimally processed—may be better choices. Smoke point isn't a valid reason to choose industrial oils; smart cooking techniques can protect food quality without sacrificing health. This episode helps you rethink what you're using in your kitchen—and why less processed, evidence-based choices matter.

The Washington Nationals delivered one of their most complete performances of the season with a 7–3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a record-setting crowd. Jake Irvin outdueled a powerhouse lineup with seven strikeouts and no walks, while the offense exploded for five home runs — two by Nathaniel Lowe and one each from James Wood, CJ Abrams, and Luis García Jr. James Wood's 451-foot blast opened the scoring and set the tone. The bullpen and defense supported the win, with contributions from Ruiz and Lile rounding out the team effort. As the team continues to struggle overall in June, stars like James Wood and CJ Abrams are building strong cases for All-Star selections. Wood leads the team with 21 home runs, 57 RBIs, and a .935 OPS, while Abrams is among the top shortstops in the NL in several offensive categories. Meanwhile, prospect Robert Hassell III is showing signs of rebounding at Triple-A Rochester after a rocky MLB debut, slashing .311 with six homers in 46 games, positioning himself for a possible call-up later this season.

What if a free, side-effect-free therapy could significantly improve your cancer survival— and even help prevent recurrence? In this episode, we explore the powerful, research-backed role of exercise in cancer prevention and treatment, centered around the recent CHALLENGE trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Here is the link to that study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2502760 Dr. Hassell shares groundbreaking findings showing that moderate, consistent exercise significantly reduces cancer recurrence and mortality — particularly in colon cancer survivors — when added to conventional treatments. More than just prevention, movement is positioned as a critical treatment tool that enhances immunity, reduces inflammation, balances hormones, and even boosts mental health. Key Takeaways: Exercise led to a 37% lower risk of death in colon cancer patients (CHALLENGE trial). Benefits appear as early as 1 year into a structured program (as little as brisk walking!). Sedentary lifestyles are now considered nearly as dangerous as smoking. Even 1-minute workouts a few times a day can start improving immune function. The “number needed to treat” for exercise is dramatically better than many standard medical therapies. Physical activity also reduces risk of diabetes, heart disease, depression, frailty, and more. Social, playful exercise (like frisbee or ping pong) boosts both body and mind — and reduces loneliness. Watch now to discover how just a few minutes of movement a day could change — or even save — your life. #CancerTreatment #ExerciseAndCancer #PreventativeHealth #ChallengeTrial #LifestyleMedicine #WalkDontRunPodcast #MentalHealth #ChronicDiseasePrevention More references can be found at www.GreatMed.org Would you like Dr. Hassell to answer your question on the air?

In Episode 35, we sit down with Miles Hassell, MD—internal medicine physician, author, and advocate for lifestyle-based health interventions—to explore the transformative power of cooking at home. Drawing from both clinical experience and personal practice, Dr. Hassell shares evidence-based insights into how preparing your own meals can support cancer survivorship, improve long-term health outcomes, and reduce the burden of chronic disease. Summary: Dr. Hassell emphasizes the crucial role that home-cooked, whole-food meals play in cancer prevention and recovery. He unpacks the science behind diet and disease, outlines the Mediterranean-style eating pattern, and encourages listeners to take ownership of their health through practical, sustainable choices. The episode also covers the cooking oil controversy, tips on meal planning, handling cravings, and the importance of community and family in the cooking process.

The Nats crushed the Mariners 9-0 on Wednesday night on an evening where they hit four homers. Mark (From Seattle) & Al note how the team continued its pattern of the early innings dictating the rest of the way as they hit Back to Back home runs in the top of the 2nd.(06:00) James Wood hit a moonshot for his 15th homer of the season. Wood's OPS is at .949 and is the 5th highest in the NL.(12:10) Robert Hassell III hit his 1st career Big League homer. Hassell had a big evening as he collected a trio of hits in the victory.(14:45) Josh Bell also homered and had three hits in the victory. There is added pressure on Bell as Andres Chaparro has been activated in AAA.(20:30) The embattled Trevor Williams had a great outing as he tossed six scoreless frames on just 76 pitches. It was good timing for Williams as Cade Cavalli pitched well in AAA on Wednesday afternoon.(28:00) MacKenzie Gore will take the mound on Thursday night in the rubber match. Gore leads all of MLB with 93 strikeouts so far this season; one ahead of Detroit's Tarik Skubal.

The Nats won their 5th straight on Thursday night as they outlasted the Braves 8-7 in extra innings. Mark & Al focus on the completely flipped script for the Nationals in the past week; as they recently had lost seven games in a row. Amed Rosario was the 10th inning hero as his pinch-hit RBI single ended the affair.(07:20) Robert Hassell III had quite the MLB debut as he singled in his first at bat, stole a base, collected two hits, and scored the winning run on Rosario's RBI single. Hassell got the nod in CF and hit 7th in the lineup.(10:00) Dylan Crews is on the IL due to an oblique injury; not a back issue. Jacob Young did not play on Thursday and it is unclear if too might be headed to the IL as he has not played since crashing into the Camden Yards wall on Saturday.(16:00) James Wood' big game was overshadowed, but nonetheless impressive as he reached base four times. Wood' big hit of the night came in the bottom of the 2nd on his 3-run double to take a 5-2 lead.(17:10) Keibert Ruiz had a big eveningin front of his parents, who saw him play in person for the first time in his professional career. Ruiz's family traveled to D.C. from his native Venezuela for the occasion.(20:00) The bullpen mostly came through in their heavy workload on Thursday night. Six relievers were needed to toss over six frames and only allowed two runs in the process. Kyle Finnegan though did blow the save in the top of the 9th, but in his defense Jose Tena committed a crucial error to extend the game.(28:10) Trevor Williams had another poor start as he was yanked in the 4th inning. Williams was charged with five runs allowed and his ERA is now up to 6.39. Will he get moved out of the starting rotation?
Ep 34 – The Power of Muscle: Strength Training for Real Life Health Part 2 In this powerful follow-up episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, Dr. Miles Hassell and Jennifer Smith of Starting Strength Beaverton dig deeper into the mindset behind fitness—and how strength training can be a surprising antidote to loneliness, mental fatigue, and life's hardest decisions. Key Takeaways: “Everything we do, we do twice—first in our mind, then in action.” Jen explores how mental preparation is just as vital as physical strength. Decision fatigue is real—but strength training helps you build discipline and identity through repetition and intention. Fitness as a cure for loneliness: How small-group strength training builds unexpected, life-giving community—especially for older adults. Shared purpose connects generations: Stories of gym members aged 18 to 81 lifting side-by-side, building both muscle and friendships. Why strength training is more than just physical—it's a vehicle for mental resilience, connection, and even faith. Whether you're seeking better health, a support system, or a stronger mindset, this episode offers a hopeful roadmap.

The Nats won their 4th straight on Tuesday night as they topped the visiting Braves 5-3. Al & Mark have a lot to get to as Dylan Crews homered in the victory, but was removed mid-game because of a back issue, and that means Robert Hassell III is getting called up from AAA-Rochester. Hassell is one of the pieces from the 2022 Juan Soto trade with the San Diego Padres.(05:50) Jacob Young did not play for a second straight game due to crashing his shoulder into the Camden Yards' wall on Saturday. It is unclear if Young or Crews will be headed to the IL, and that likely will be decided after Crews' MRI on Wednesday morning.(10:00) Hassell's OPS is at .742 this season with four homers. He had a pair of doubles on Tuesday night in Syracuse prior to getting informed that he is headed to Washington.(14:30) The Nats offense continued their recent string of hot starts by scoring three runs right away against Atlanta's Spencer Strider. They totaled eight hits in the win, but also had multiple terrible base running mistakes.(18:10) Mitchell Parker's outing was marred by a bad top of the 2nd where he gave up all three of his runs. It was the 5th consecutive Parker start that was not classified as "good".(20:15) The bullpen teamed up for nearly four scoreless innings. Kyle Finnegan punctuated the effort with a clean 1-2-3 inning for his 15th save of the year, which leads all of MLB.(26:10) Per the Washington Post, the team's Chief Revenue Officer and the Chief Marketing Officer left their positions earlier this month. What does that mean in the bigger picture or isolated personnel moves?
After wrapping up a lively and insightful discussion on the tush push, the Rooster shifts focus to the Nationals' recent success in replacing Dylan Crews with Robert Hassell III. With the Nats extending their win streak to four games after a thrilling series opener against the Braves, Hassell delivered a standout performance that had everyone talking. Tune in as the Rooster breaks down Hassell's impact and previews what's ahead for the Nats as they gear up for the second game of the series against Atlanta.
After the NFL owners voted 22-10 to keep the tush push in play, The Rooster launches into a fiery rant, pulling no punches as he argues that the play undermines the integrity of the game and alienates fans. He breaks down how the tush push has become a detrimental force, stripping the sport of its excitement and turning off audiences who crave innovation and strategy. Opening up the phone lines, The Rooster hosts a lively back-and-forth with callers, sparking debate over the controversial play. While opinions vary, the conversation digs into ways the NFL might preserve the play's legality while restoring competitive balance—ranging from tweaks to formation rules to defensive countermeasures. After wrapping up the heated discussion, The Rooster shifts focus to baseball, celebrating the Nationals' recent surge as they extend their win streak to four games. With Robert Hassell III stepping in for Dylan Crews and delivering a standout performance in a thrilling series opener against the Braves, The Rooster breaks down Hassell's impact and previews what's ahead as the Nats prepare for game two against Atlanta.
The Washington Nationals pulled off a solid 5-3 win against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night, building on their momentum from the weekend. James Wood continued his hot streak at the plate, Mitchell Parker rebounded from early trouble on the mound, and Kyle Finnegan notched his MLB-leading 15th save. But the victory came with concern, as Dylan Crews exited early after re-aggravating a left-side back injury that's lingered since the last series against Atlanta. With Crews undergoing an MRI and Jacob Young dealing with a shoulder issue, the Nats may be down two outfielders. In response, the Nationals have promoted outfield prospect Robert Hassell III to the big leagues. Once a top draft pick and a centerpiece of the Juan Soto trade, Hassell has had a tough road — including a hamate injury that derailed his 2023 season. After a slow start in Triple-A this year, he's caught fire in May, hitting .365 with a 1.006 OPS. Known for his defense and pure hitting ability, Hassell now gets his long-awaited shot in the majors. With the team inching closer to third place in the NL East, his arrival adds another exciting chapter to Washington's youth movement.

Another mind bending foray into the Flipside. First reminding the audience Jennifer and I will be appearing at the Contact In the Desert conference May 30th at 11 am, then Saturday May 31st at 11 am (ContactInTheDesert.com) Today's podcast included a visit from the actor Eddie Hassell who pointed out that he'd turned the lights on and off at his parent's home in order to get them to reach out to Jennifer. As it turned out, Steve Jobs was involved in this conversation as well. Luana Anders wanted to discuss how people on the flipside manipulate energy - turning lights on and off, related to the power going out in a recent guided meditation, where at a particular point, it seemed as if someone on the flipside had frozen the internet. I asked Hawking some of the same questions we'd asked him before, as well as to have him talk about how it's possible for him to be aware of all of his previous lifetimes now, but at the same time access information that is related to his most previous journey onstage. Jennifer noted that the acclaimed film critics both Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel had shown up - I had met Roger when he was on the planet, and also noted how their review of my film "Limit Up" got it pulled from movie theaters when it came out. It wasn't until later, when I learned about Ebert's own near death experience that he didn't believe in an afterlife - even though he'd literally "spoken to his wife to tell her to convince the doctors he was still alive" - even after that, he wouldn't allow that it was possible that consciousness continued on. So for whatever reason (they said it was an anniversary, although I'm not sure its related to the film Limit Up's reviews) they showed up to give us a "thumbs up" for our podcast and our continued conversations with the flipside. This isn't the sort of thing one might construct - since Jennifer saw all three of them appear at once, and it wasn't until after the conversation with Hawking did I ask them why they'd appeared. Funny to consider. I also got them to review Sean Baker's film "Anora." (How about that? I defy any clip service to add their reviews "brilliant" to their publicity files "from the flipside") Then Jennifer's dad Jim showed up to answer a question she'd had about her mother's appearances in her dreams - and a general discussion of how it's important for people to allow that it's possible for their loved ones to still exist - because even during dreams if we say to them "wait a second, you died" it's a form of denial of their existence and they "disappear" from our ability to see them. Just something to keep in mind if one is visited by a loved one, by lights turning on and off, by the coincidence of seeing numbers on a clock, or hearing a song and then thinking of them at the very moment they want us to... allow that it's possible, and it won't freak people out so much. Hawking also weighed in the recent reports of "possible life on another planet" ("Why not begin with every other planet?") It's ironic because we haven't begun to understand the different frequencies of species on our own planet yet... dogs smell cancer, bees see UV light, birds change mating habits months in advance of bad weather, octopuses do more with 8 brains in one year of life than we do with 1 brain over 80 years... something to consider when talking about "life on other planets." (What about lives we've yet to understand on our own?)
Seth Hassell and Clint Ethington are the co-founders of Genius Monkey, a programmatic ad tech platform with proven targeting, tracking, and attribution for optimized results. Seth and Clint were childhood friends who worked on many business ventures before launching Genius Monkey in 2009, leveraging their experience in digital ad technologies. Genius Monkey grew steadily as a bootstrapped company, with the founders and team working hard for years to improve their platform, prove results to clients, recruit agencies, and grow their team. Most ad tech peers took VC funding and are no longer around, but Genius Monkey is still growing and getting more profitable every year. In this episode, Seth and Clint talk about their unusual long-time partnership, the power of profits, competing with giants, building a strong company culture, and leveraging non-dilutive funding to grow faster. Quote from Seth Hassell and Clint Ethington, co-founders of Genius Monkey "Don't be afraid to fail with the smaller stuff. A lot of times, people don't take the chance of seeing, "What if we do it this way?" What happens? And all those little things that could become something big, they never pursue because they're comfortable with where they're at." "Fail fast. Try stuff out. If you see it's not working, shelf it and go to the next thing. Move on until you find that one that's doing better than where you're at right now. Then, I will put the determination and the motivation behind it to see it through. Clint and I tried through lots of things that just didn't work out." "If it wasn't working, we were okay. We wouldn't say, "It's all over, close the doors." It wasn't like that. It was like, "Okay, we know that doesn't work. What's our next thing we're trying?" And we always had different ideas in the background."

Kyle Finnegan returned to the Nationals (1 year/ $6M) after originally not being tendered by the team last November. It has been quite the adventure in the past few months for Finnegan, who also surprisingly was not dealt at last summer's trade deadline.
