In this can't-miss episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois return with Part Two of their exclusive, final official interview with Michael Medline, former President & CEO of Empire/Sobeys. Medline offers unusually candid reflections on leadership, culture, vendor relationships, and the evolution of one of Canada's largest food retailers.The conversation opens with a deep dive into vendor relations and the Canadian Grocery Code of Conduct. Medline explains his early shock at the combative nature of vendor–retailer dynamics and details his personal commitment to transforming the ecosystem into one built on fairness, respect, and partnership. He reflects on how mentorship from industry leaders like Michael Graydon and collaboration with executives such as Mark Taylor helped advance the Code from concept to reality — ultimately becoming one of the proudest achievements of his tenure.Medline also shares rare behind-the-scenes reflections on working with the Sobey family, leading through disruption, and preparing the company for the next era of food retail. From AI-driven transformation to the duty of stewarding an organization with 129,000 teammates, he speaks openly about responsibility, succession, and what comes next in his career. His insights offer a masterclass in modern leadership during one of the most transformative decades in grocery retail.The episode also features a rich and timely news segment. Michael and Sylvain break down Health Canada's pause on cloned beef and swine approvals, a fast-moving story with major implications for transparency, labeling, science communication, and cross-border food integration. They examine why Canada's decision diverges from the U.S., where cloned-animal offspring have been permitted for nearly two decades — often without consumer awareness.The hosts then analyze the newest edition of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index, highlighting renewed concerns about food inflation, declining trust in grocers, shifting loyalty behaviours, and the end of Canada's “couponing era.” They explore evolving consumer habits, smarter comparison shopping, and the influence of younger digital-first generations.Other key topics include:• The Lancet's callout of ultra-processed foods — and why Sylvain believes the academic narrative is oversimplified.• The rapid rise of GLP-1 drugs and their early impact on grocery and foodservice behaviour.• Nutrien's reported decision to build a major potash terminal in Washington State rather than Canada.• The tangled story behind beef prices and the federal policies that may be limiting supply.• A big win for Canadian agriculture as GoodLeaf Farms raises $52 million to expand capacity and boost controlled-environment production. Go Here for the The Canadian Food Sentiment Index, Volume 2, no. 1  The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Is cloned meat safe to eat? Shouldn't producers be forced to tell us what we're eating? Do we even need to clone livestock?Joining us on tonight's Closer Look to answer all those questions — and a lot more — is Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

A recent report by the Canadian Cancer Statistics Advisory Committee found that after more than three decades of steady decline, cases of cervical cancer have plateaued in the past 20 years. In an effort to make screening less daunting, the Canadian Cancer Society is pushing for all provinces and territories to replace the traditional pap smear examination with the human papillomavirus (HPV) test. So far, only four provinces have made the switch.But the switch is just a piece of the puzzle. Access to screening, education on reproductive health, and destigmatizing testing all play a role in bringing down cases of cervical cancer - which Canada committed to eliminate by 2040.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Lucy Gilbert, director of the McGill University Gynecologic Oncology service, and chair of oncology for McGill University's Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology to discuss the risks related with lack of access to proper screenings, and how Health Canada needs to keep health education top of mind if they want to meet its 2040 goal.

Would you want to know if the food you were eating came from a cloned animal?New Health Canada regulations set to kick in next year don't require beef and pork manufacturers to label whether or not their products were from cloned animals. After consultations with the general public and stakeholders, Health Canada decided to remove cloned meat from their 'novel foods' category.Cloned animals are made through assisted reproductive processes such as artificial insemination. Sometimes, the cloned animals' offspring is what makes it to the meat counter.However, questions have been raised regarding the lack of transparency around the regulation change, and whether or not consumers deserve to know where and how the meat they buy is made.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agr-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University to discuss how important accurate food labels are to Canadian consumers, and whether or not cloned meat is safe for you.

JD Sharp joins Stew to discuss the infiltration of Charlie Kirk's security team by the Israeli Mossad.   Svetlana Rilkoff joins Stew to discuss being raided by Health Canada and the Canadian Mounted Police for the apparent crime of treating illness with ivermectin. $200k worth of ivermectin was stolen from her by the Canadian government. Charlie Kirk was snuffed out by the same Zionist machine now propping up his widow on national TV, crying without smearing her war-paint. This is the Israeli reality show finale: steal the movement, pocket the shekels, and dare any patriot to speak while they reload.

Alternative medicine is nothing new.Although it can be risky and sometimes harmful, people with chronic pain or debilitating health complications are usually open to seeing what other treatment options can ease their pain - even if it's illegal and very much inaccessible. A recent North American study found that one supervised dose of lysergic acid diethylamide or LSD - commonly known as acid - eased anxiety symptoms for several months. But the research on psychedelics being used to treat mental health issues is still very much in its premature phase, with nothing conclusive or substantial enough to enact changes from Health Canada.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Roger McIntyre, professor of psychiatry, and professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Toronto to discuss the potential that psychedelics hold in the future of health and wellness, and whether or not it's suitable for everyone.

Health Canada has authorized a drug shown to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority says it's abandoning plans to install shore power for cruise ships at Ogden Point — a project long touted as a way to cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in the James Bay neighbourhood. In honey bee colonies, worker bees will overthrow a failing queen in a carefully coordinated process known as supersedure. Recent research from the University of British Columbia sheds light on why these ‘royal revolts' happen and how viral infections in queens can trigger them. Learn more about your ad choices.

The request for an Environmental Impact Assessment of the Dresden landfill project has been rejected. People in Blenheim may notice a large police presence on Monday. The Ontario government is walking back a proposal that would have allowed landlords to evict tenants once a lease expires. Ontario is investing $1.1B over three years to expand home care services to thousands more people. Canadian officials are scrambling to find out when a 10% tariff on Canadian goods, levied by U.S. President Trump on the weekend, will start. Health Canada has approved an expensive new drug that can slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

In this episode of The Daily Value, we examine Consumer Reports' October 2025 findings on lead in protein powders. The investigation tested 23 products and found that more than two-thirds exceeded the organization's internal lead safety threshold.

Sona Nanotech Inc (CSE:SONA, OTCQB:SNANF) CEO David Regan talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about first-in-human data for the company's targeted hyperthermia therapy (THT), showing significant tumor response in patients with late-stage melanoma. The early feasibility study involved ten patients who had not responded to standard immunotherapy. Regan said, “We were able to get a response in eight out of ten of them, of which six were complete responses.” Biopsies conducted within two weeks confirmed that the treated tumors no longer contained melanoma cells. THT uses nanoparticles injected into tumors and activated by a near-infrared laser. The laser energy creates heat at 45°C, selectively killing cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. The process also stimulates the immune system, which Regan said was a critical component: “We're really helping to fire up the immune system to fight the cancer on its own.” Sona now plans to move into a Canadian clinical trial, pending Health Canada approval. Regan emphasized that these results could extend beyond melanoma, potentially benefiting other solid tumors resistant to immunotherapy. Investors can expect updates on histological data analysis and direction for broader clinical applications. Sona has already submitted an application to Health Canada and hopes to engage with the regulator soon. #SonaNanotech #CancerTreatment #TargetedHyperthermia #Melanoma #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #ClinicalTrials #Oncology #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTech

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, we're lighting up the truth about THC potency fraud in the legal cannabis market. Some companies are intentionally mislabelling THC levels, and Health Canada's response? Painfully slow.We'll dig into why regulators ignored industry insiders' warnings, how their “public health first” stance doesn't match their actions, and why the 10mg edible cap might actually be part of the problem.Could more realistic potency ranges stop shady labeling and give consumers what they really paid for?

PharmAla Biotech Holdings CEO Nicholas Kadysh joined Steve Darling from Proactive's OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company's ongoing progress in clinical MDMA supply and development. Kadysh highlighted that PharmAla was founded as a dedicated MDMA company, and today operates as one of the world's leading producers and suppliers of MDMA for clinical use, particularly in Canada and Australia. In addition to supplying MDMA for patient treatments and clinical trials, the company is developing novel analogs for a range of medical conditions. The company holds a controlled substances license from Health Canada, enabling legal manufacture and supply of MDMA. PharmAla collaborates with leading academic and government institutions, including Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Arkansas. Kadysh noted the company's involvement in a new Canadian study funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, which explores MDMA for neuropathic pain, with PharmAla supplying the compound. The company is also advancing MDMA analogs targeting social anxiety and brain trauma, including post-stroke recovery and traumatic brain injury. “We view part of our mission as making sure actual patients get the medication, not just clinical researchers,” Kadysh emphasized, underscoring the company's commitment to real-world patient access. The interview also highlighted PharmAla's collaboration with U.S. government agencies, including the Veterans Affairs Administration and Defense Health Agency, for military-related clinical trials. #proactiveinvestors #pharmalabiotechholdings #cse #mdma #otc #mdxxf #PharmAlaBiotech #MDMAResearch #BiotechNews #ClinicalTrials #MentalHealthInnovation #NeuropathicPain #DrugDevelopment #ControlledSubstances #HealthCanada #VeteransHealth #BrainTraumaTreatment #SocialAnxietyRelief

The battle for Canada's health freedom is on.Health Canada's Self-Care Framework threatens to eliminate most of the natural health products Canadians rely on — and the people are fighting back.In this explosive episode of Truehope Cast, we join the Health Charter Tour: Day 4 — the nationwide movement led by constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley and Truehope founder Anthony Stephan — to expose Health Canada's insidious plan and ignite a new wave of awareness across the country.Discover what's really at stake, how the Charter of Health Freedom could protect your right to natural healing, and why Canadians everywhere are standing together to stop government overreach once and for all.

Key Points Seadon experienced his first Grand mal seizure at age three, lasting over 20 minutes, with medical staff initially believing he would suffer brain damage from the prolonged episode.Medical professionals prescribed benzodiazepines which reduced seizure frequency and severity but required continuous dose increases as Seadon continued having seizures for four years.By age seven, Seadon was taking the maximum benzodiazepine dose equivalent to an 18-19 year old but still experiencing seizures, prompting consultation with alternative neurologists.Memory impairment was identified as a significant side effect of the benzodiazepine medication, causing Seadon to forget basic daily tasks and potentially creating permanent cognitive damage.Research into natural alternatives consistently pointed to cannabis as the only viable option, though specific dosing and cultivation information was extremely limited at the time.Pharmaceutical shortage crisis forced an immediate decision when Seadon's medication became unavailable, with Health Canada offering three replacement drugs including ones with suicide risk and irreversible liver damage.Cannabis treatment began with a one-to-one CBD-THC tincture obtained from a veteran's prescription, starting with low doses while simultaneously weaning off benzodiazepines.Seadon achieved complete seizure freedom for 11 years using a customized cannabis regimen of 20-to-1 CBD-THC ratio during daytime and 1-to-1 ratio at nighttime.Memory function significantly improved after transitioning from pharmaceuticals to cannabis, contradicting common misconceptions about cannabis effects on developing brains.Legal prescription acquisition took over 18 months due to reluctance from healthcare providers to treat pediatric patients, eventually obtained through a questionable cannabis clinic charging $2,000 annually.Medical establishment resistance continued even after successful treatment, with neurologists refusing prescription renewals despite 100% seizure control and excluding Seadon from cannabis epilepsy studies.Family doctor refused to write cannabis prescriptions despite supporting the treatment results, ultimately involving legal counsel when challenged about patient rights violations.EduCanNation nonprofit was founded in 2020 to standardize cannabis education and provide proper guidance to patients, addressing the lack of reliable information and support systems.Organization connects certified cannabis educators who are primarily former patients, aiming to share evidence-based knowledge and prevent others from experiencing similar healthcare navigation challenges.

The European Union recently banned the sale and use of Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide - also known as TPO - for its alleged reproductive toxicant qualities. Most gel nail polishes contain TPO, as it's the key ingredient to ensure a shiny finish after hardening following exposure to UV light.However, Canada has yet to take any similar action, considering its risk-based model for product regulation. But if the writing is on the wall about TPO's dangers, what is stopping Health Canada from taking a proactive stance on reproductive safety?Host Maria Kestane speaks to Miriam Diamond, a professor in the department of earth sciences & The School of the Environment at the University of Toronto to discuss the different regulatory approaches between the EU and Canada, and how Canadians can make their own informed choices on the treatments they pay for.

Last Monday, the Trump administration linked Tylenol to autism and warned against pregnant women taking it — Health Canada says there is no conclusive evidence and continues to recommend acetaminophen to treat fever and pain during pregnancy. This is not the first time U.S. President Trump or Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have made controversial remarks on autism and what causes it. And some advocates and scientists are concerned about the wider impact this could have. Today, developmental pediatrician Dr. Melanie Penner joins the show to help us unpack the growing fixation on autism, why unproven links to its cause continue to resurface, and what we should be focusing on instead. Questions?

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice highlights Ottawa's pattern of putting politics and ideology ahead of evidence and common sense, and how the legacy media runs cover every step of the way. The National Telegraph founder Wyatt Claypool joins the show to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to pause the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's order to cull more than 400 ostriches in British Columbia. Despite the birds recovering from avian flu, the agency pushed ahead anyway, sparking protests, arrests, and outrage before the court stepped in. Next, Candice and Wyatt discuss Health Canada's decision to contradict President Trump and RFK Jr. on warnings about Tylenol use during pregnancy. Instead of addressing years of studies pointing to potential risks, officials sided with Big Pharma and dismissed the concerns simply to spite Trump. They also examine how Liberals continue funnelling money to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, an activist group with Antifa ties, even after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Finally, Candice is joined by RockLinc CEO Jonathan Wellum to examine Ottawa's looming “mega deficit.” With Carney preparing to spend billions more while capital and jobs flee, Wellum warns Canada is falling further behind as the U.S. reindustrializes under Trump.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Accessibility to modern diabetes technology directly correlates with A1c among children with type 1 diabetes globally. Big, cross-sectional study, conducted in 81 pediatric diabetes centers in 56 countries, found that a greater extent of reimbursement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, glucose meters, and insulin was associated with lower A1c levels. Partha S. Kar, MD, Type 1 Diabetes & Technology lead of the National Health Service England, told Medscape Medical News, “As is now being shown in countries such as UK with widespread uptake of technology, there is now population-wide shift in A1c not seen before.”   He added, “If policymakers are serious about bringing A1c at a population level to sub-7.5% - 8% levels, then without technology it would be incredibly difficult to achieve, in my experience and opinion. Leaving the median A1c of a population at above 7.5%-8% goes with complications so that's a decision regarding investment many will have to make in the near future.”   In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth R. Seaquist, MD, professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism and co-director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, called it “striking” that access to technology in and of itself was associated with improved glycemic control, given that multidisciplinary team care is also needed to provide education and behavioral or psychological support.     https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-access-linked-a1c-kids-t1d-globally-2025a1000nn6 XX A man with type 1 in Illinois has received the first FDA-approved islet-cell replacement treatment, Lantidra, and  he is now producing his own insulin. The treatment works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections.   The FDA approved Lantidra (donislecel) in 2023. Lantidra uses donor cells and requires lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.     Lantidra is only available at University of Illinois Chicago Health. Other universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania, continue to do islet cell transplants as part of clinical trials. Early data has shown that a majority of participants in the Lantidra clinical study were able to achieve some level of insulin independence, but it's unclear whether the benefits of donislecel outweigh the treatment's safety risks. Nearly 87 percent of participants reported infection-related adverse events, and post-operation complications included liver lacerations, bruising of the liver (hepatic hematoma), and anemia. One patient died of multi-organ failure from sepsis, which Lantidra maker CellTrans stated was “probably related” to the use of either immunosuppression or study drugs.   In addition, some industry leaders have raised the question of whether it's ethical to commercialize the use of deceased donor islet cells. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/first-fda-approved-islet-cell-transplant-performed?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=later   XX Patients in the U.S. now have access to the first generic GLP-1 treatment approved for weight loss as Teva has launched its copycat of Novo Nordisk's injected Saxenda (liraglutide).   The compound, which is a GLP-1 forerunner of Novo's semaglutide products Ozempic and Wegovy, has been approved by the FDA to treat adults with obesity and those who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems.     Saxenda also is endorsed for pediatric patients ages 12 through 17 who are obese and weigh at least 60 kg (132 pounds). The treatment is for both triggering and maintaining weight loss. Saxenda is not the first GLP-1 drug that is available as a generic. In June of last year, Teva also was the first company to launch a knockoff version of Novo's Victoza, which is the same compound as Saxenda but has been approved only for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Sales of the branded versions of both Victoza and Saxenda have declined significantly in recent years as demand for Novo's semaglutide and Eli Lilly's tirzepatide products have skyrocketed. In addition, marketers of compounded products have been aggressively competing for market share in the GLP-1 space. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/saxenda-knockoff-teva-launches-first-generic-glp-1-obesity   XX Metformin could cut the risk of Long COVID by 64% in overweight or obese adults who started the drug within 90 days of infection. The large observational study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, analysed health records of over 624,000 UK adults with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2023. Among these, nearly 3,000 patients who began metformin treatment soon after diagnosis were tracked for a year. Compared to non-users, their likelihood of developing Long COVID, defined as persistent symptoms 90 days or more after infection, was dramatically lower. https://www.ndtv.com/health/metformin-cuts-risk-of-long-covid-by-64-why-the-diabetes-pill-is-not-for-everyone-9242332 XX Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, so they don't know they have it, according to data analysis published Monday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The study looked at data from 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2023 in a systematic review of published literature and surveys. “The majority of people with diabetes that we report on in the study have type 2 diabetes,” said Lauryn Stafford , the lead author of the study.   “We found that 56% of people with diabetes are aware that they have the condition,” said Stafford, a researcher for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “Globally, there's a lot of variation geographically, and also by age. So, generally, higher-income countries were doing better at diagnosing people than low- and middle-income countries.” People under 35 years were much less likely to be diagnosed if they had diabetes than people in middle age or older. Just “20% of young adults with diabetes were aware of their condition,” Stafford said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/health/diabetes-undiagnosed-half-of-americans-wellness XX A team of Hong Kong scientists is developing an injectable treatment that could potentially improve blood flow in diabetes patients' feet, in the hopes that it will reduce the need for amputation by rebuilding tissue in the arteries.   They also hope to apply the treatment to peripheral artery disease or PAD, a condition caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that affect blood circulation in the feet. “Traditional treatments for people suffering from poor blood flow in their legs are stent implantation or bypass surgery, which is invasive,” said Wong, who is also the co-founder of a biotechnology company called NutrigeneAI. He said it was his dream to turn research in the academic field into actual clinical treatments. But he added that the team still needed three to four years for further research on the treatment.   https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3324671/hong-kong-scientists-developing-new-blood-flow-treatment-aid-diabetes-patients XX   Tandem Diabetes announces Health Canada authorization for distribution of the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone, and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 The app is expected to be available later this year.   The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025. Once available, Tandem will email eligible customers with instructions on how to download and use the app.  https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250904665715/en/Tandem-tslim-Mobile-App-Now-Authorized-by-Health-Canada-for-iPhone-and-Android-Phones   XX Some changes to how the Eversense CGM will be rolled out.. right now it's being distributed by Ascensia Diabetes Care.  Senseonics will take back commercial control of the year long implantable CGM on January 1 in the US and expanding worldwide throughout 2026. The change was a mutual decision, according to the two companies, which said they have signed a memorandum of understanding before a definitive agreement is hammered out by the end of the year. To get started, Senseonics is also set to acquire members of Ascensia's commercial staff—including its CGM president, Brian Hansen, who is slated to become Senseonics' new chief commercial officer. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/senseonics-retake-eversense-cgm-commercial-control-ascensia-diabetes-care XX Utrecht-based medical device company ViCentra has closed an $85 million Series D round of funding led by Innovation Industries, along with existing investors Partners in Equity and Invest-NL. The round also drew support from EQT Life Sciences and Health Innovations.   The recent capital injection will be used to expand ViCentra's manufacturing capabilities, support regulatory approvals, and strengthen commercial rollout across Europe.   The funds will also be used to launch the next-generation Kaleido 2 patch pump in Europe and prepare for entry into the U.S. market.   The global insulin delivery market is growing quickly due to the increasing number of diabetes cases and demand for effective and user-friendly solutions. The market for insulin pumps is projected to exceed $14 billion by 2034. Patch pumps are the fastest-growing segment, signalling a trend toward compact and wearable devices. And here's where ViCentra is positioned to meet this need, offering a user-friendly, sleek design-led alternative to traditional systems.   Kaleido: design-led insulin delivery Kaleido is the smallest and lightest insulin patch pump developed as a lifestyle product with a particular focus on usability and personalisation.   Designed to feel more like personal technology than a traditional medical device, Kaleido features premium materials, and users can select their own favourite aluminium shells from a range of ten preset colour options.   It integrates with Diabeloop's hybrid closed-loop algorithms (DBLG1 and DBLG2) and is compatible with Dexcom CGM sensors, positioning it within the next generation of automated insulin delivery systems.   “Kaleido is a true disruptor — small, discreet, featherlight, and beautifully designed. It empowers people with diabetes by offering a more personal and distinctive choice in both function and style. Built with empathy and precision, it honours those who live with diabetes every day. With this funding, we can now meet surging European demand and fast-track our entry into the U.S. market. This is a pivotal moment — for ViCentra, and for the community we serve,” said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer at ViCentra.   Improving the quality of life for diabetic patients ViCentra, led by Tom Arnold, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with diabetes.   The company reported that demand for Kaleido in Germany, France, and the Netherlands has already exceeded initial expectations.   ViCentra will present updates on Kaleido at the 61st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), taking place September 15–19, 2025, in Vienna.   The company plans to engage with clinicians, investors, and strategic partners to further its role in the evolving diabetes care landscape.   “ViCentra is redefining insulin pump therapy with a platform that truly centres the user experience – combining clinical performance with design simplicity and wearability,” commented Caaj Greebe, Partner at Innovation Industries. “At Innovation Industries, we invest in pioneering companies that blend world-class technology with clear commercial potential.

This is the company that wants to offer a night time only, tiny, temporary insulin pump – to supplement insulin pen use. According to the company, more than 80% of the improvements in blood sugar from automated insulin delivery systems occur while the user is sleeping. Luna launched a pivotal trial late last year. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nighttime-insulin-patch-pump-maker-luna-diabetes-raises-236m   XX Following 15 days and 150 fingerpricks, they're here. The results of the “9 sensor samba“. And what a set of a results…   Well maybe that's overplaying it a little.   Let's just say that the outcome of this n=1 experiment wasn't quite what I expected. One of the established players came out much worse than expected, while a newcomer did a lot better.   Let's dig in, and take a look at the variation. https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/the-nine-sensor-samba-results-revealed/   XX Hard work and perseverance define ranch life, but one man in eastern Montana takes it to another level. At 90, he's still living independently on the ranch he built from the ground up. Even more remarkable? He's a type 1 diabetic.   Bob Delp still begins each day just like he did decades ago, waking up on his ranch near Richey, Montana.   “I always thought if I could ever get a ranch and run a hundred cows, that's what I wanted to do from the time I was a kid,” said Delp.   He made that dream real, the hard way; after coming home from the army, he taught school, hayed for seven cents a bale and saved every cent he could.     “I worked at it real hard because I always felt like it was going to be part of getting me to that ranch that I always wanted,” said Delp.   He did it all while managing type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis that came with few answers and little hope back in the 1950s.   “The doctors tell me being a type 1 diabetic for 66 years isn't supposed to happen. Back then, it was a real challenge,” added Delp.   Statistically, it's almost unheard of. Fewer than 90 people in the world have lived more than 70 years with type 1 diabetes.     Bob credits his late wife, Donna, for helping him beat the odds.   “She has been key in that I always ate on time.”   They've faced their share of storms, both in health and out on the land. Not long after moving to Richey, a heavy snowstorm nearly tore everything apart just after they'd stepped out for dinner.   “If Donna hadn't said it was time to eat, we wouldn't have made it out of there. I guess that's one time that made me happy to have diabetes. And I think that saved us,” said Delp.     Now, he still checks his blood sugar daily but trusts his hands more than high-tech insulin pumps.   “I'm not satisfied with the sensors they have today. I just don't think they're accurate.”   To many, Bob's survival is extraordinary. To him, it's luck.   “The genes are there already, I can't change that so I guess I would have to say just lots of good luck,” said Delp.     And through it all, optimism has been his compass.   “You might fumble the ball, but if you're determined to be a winner, you'll recover that fumble someday,” said Delp.   He still welds nearly every day. Not because he has to, but because it keeps him going.   “As long as I keep doing something like this, I will not be in the nursing home,” said Delp.   https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/08/09/against-all-odds-montana-man-thrives-with-type-1-diabetes-90/ XX Today, Dexcom is building on this belief and breaking new ground with the launch of its first open call across the U.S. and Canada in search of the next diabetes advocates—giving people with all types of diabetes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise awareness and share their voice on a global scale in the company's World Diabetes Day campaign (Nov. 14) and beyond.  Who is eligible?: Anyone age 2+ living with all types of diabetes or prediabetes can be nominated by themselves or by someone who knows them.

Liberty Dispatch ~ August 28, 2025 In this episode of Liberty Dispatch, hosts Andrew DeBartolo and Matthew Hallick talk about how Carney caving to Trump on tariffs to get back to trade talks is yet another example of how Canada is going full cringe, including destroying private property rights, punishing parents as criminals go free, and, yes, still pushing the jab.

The Public Health Agencies are created to deliver on the Government's commitment to help protect the health and safety of all people and communities in whatever country they live in.  For example: Canada's activities focus on: promoting health, well-being and equity protecting against threats to public health preventing and reducing diseases and injury Health Canada is responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health. It ensures that high-quality health services are accessible, and works to reduce health risks. The UK supports ministers in leading the nation's health and social care to help people live more independent, healthier lives for longer. They are responsible for: supporting and advising their ministers: they help them shape and deliver policy that delivers the government's objectives setting direction: they anticipate the future and lead debate ensuring they protect and improve global and domestic health accountability: they make sure the department and their arm's length bodies deliver on their agreed plans and commitments acting as guardians of the health and care framework: they make sure the legislative, financial, administrative and policy frameworks are fit for purpose and work together troubleshooting: in the last resort, the public and Parliament expect them to take the action needed to resolve crucial and complex issues Although we at PodcastDX reside in the USA, due to recent administration changes we do not feel comfortable listing them as a resource at this time.
