Our weekly health columnist explores a new study about why getting COVID-19 increases heart attack risks. (Anthony Germain with Dr. Iris Gorfinkel)

In this weeks Talking Health, Arwen gives an overview on the second module of the Covid-19 public inquiry so far. 

Host Delan Devakumar is joined by Kevin Fenton (Public Health Director for London, UK), Ayoade Alakija (Chair of the African Vaccine Delivery Alliance), and Kumanan Rasanathan (Executive Director, Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research)  to explore COVID-19 and racism by unpacking key themes of power and influence. Drawing from their experiences in public health practice and global health policy, they discuss how racism stratifies power across the community and structural levels, and why communities of colour bore the brunt of the pandemic. How do policies informing preparedness and resource distribution reinforce these differences?

HEALTH ·COVID-19 VACCINES Fauci has a stark warning for you: Get those COVID vaccines and boosters now, or you're ‘going to get into trouble' Written By: CHLOE TAYLOR August 4, 2022, 8:08 AM EDT

Dr. Prather opens the show with a COVID-19 update that reports we now have a greater number of cases than at any point in the pandemic. Then, we talk about how the gut is "the #1 determinant" to a person's health, but is even more important for children. In this episode, you'll discover:—How the World Health Organization declared Monkeypox as a "world health emergency"…in spite of the decision-making panel voting NOT to declare it an emergency.—The huge changes between the original COVID strain and the latest variant. And the controversial theory that explains why we're seeing so many variants.--The "revolutionary" findings coming out from National Institutes of Health research on the gut that will change how our health care system treats diseases. --The reason why every child should be checked for gut health, but especially children with learning disabilities, tummy problems, allergies, eczema, ADD, ADHD, autoimmune issues, and ear infections.--Why Dr. Prather says it is a "disaster waiting to happen" if a child has had six or more antibiotic treatments while under the age of 5.--How a child is more susceptible than an adult for gut problems to impact their brain. Plus, how ear infections are related to gut health.--How all autoimmune diseases are a result of a failed immune system. And why the standard medical approach of destroying the immune system for autoimmune disease is wrong and contradicts science.--Why gluten leads to a "leaky gut". And why people today are having more problems with gluten than in the past.--What a G.I. Effects Stool Kit will reveal about your health. And how Dr. Prather rebuilds gut health for patients.--Why a stool kit is "absolutely essential" for pregnant women as the health of a child will be determined by the Mom's health.www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Covid restrictions are continuing to drop around the planet right now, much to the chagrin of the Covid Karens who are refusing to let up on the mask-wearing and social distancing. People in countries which are stubbornly refusing to drop restrictions may do best to just hang on - since the world seems to basically be in lock-step on this, it probably won't be long before they're dropped everywhere.

"It certainly has ignited some sort of telemedicine and remote monitoring revolution; I think we'll look back in 10 years and say, well, that's really when things ramped up and changed" This piece is an engaging look at "connected health"; how are new technologies bringing world class experts straight to patients both safely, effectively and at a scale which was previously unimaginable? What are the drawbacks from both the perspective of patient and practitioner? Has the acceleration of these processes - caused by COVID19 restrictions - been a good thing or is it causing some people to be left behind? Presented by Desiree Chappell, VP Clinical Quality for NorthStar Anaesthesia and Monty Mythen, Smiths Medical Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care, with John Whittle, consultant anesthetist, critical care physician and perioperative medicine physician and Honorary Associate Professor of perioperative medicine at University College London, Imogen Fecher-Jones, lead nurse for perioperative medicine and pre assessment services at University of Southampton Hospital, Betty Jo Rocchio, CRNA and Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer, Mercy Health in the US, Sam Ajizian, CMO for patient monitoring, Vice President of Global clinical research and medical science for patient monitoring respiratory interventions at Medtronic and, as patient advocate, Neil Johnson, Chief Executive of the Croi, Heart and Stroke Centre, The National Institute for Prevention and Cardiovascular Health and The Global Heart Hub, Ireland.

This week, she shared with us how things have been going and what she's thinking about.“My name is Brook LaFloe. My family comes from the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, but I mostly grew up here in the Twin Cities. Right now, in this moment, I'm feeling good. I'm beading right now. You know, I took a nap earlier. So I'm just in like a very zen mood, I guess you could say right now,” said Brook.Brook said there have been many transitions for her family, some of which have been challenging…“My mom's montessori closed four times, tried to stay open, you know, during the pandemic. Closed four times. I myself have been also working at a shelter on the weekends.….and some transitions have been good,” said Brook.“I left my full time work to actually start my social enterprise and that was like at the beginning of the pandemic.…It's called Niniijanis One of Ones. It's a social enterprise for Indigenous children. Our goal is to tackle educational opportunities in early childhood for American Indian children, specifically birth through six. So I'm trained in the Montessori method and a lot of that work has been indigenizing the Montessori method and making the curriculum more culturally relevant and appropriate for Native kids,” said Brook.Brook's business started out as a grant-funded community project giving away free educational and cultural materials in its pilot year. It has now grown into a collective of 16 artists and educators.“The need in early childhood is already pretty great, right? There's not enough early learning centers or Head Starts to meet the amount of young kids there are in certain places, especially here in the Cities. But then when the pandemic hit and some centers were starting to close the need became exacerbated. So yeah, I was like we have these materials and these are the things that can leave classrooms and go home, right?” she said.“The pow wow mobile is probably the most popular item for babies, but the cultural teaching of it is like, beyond the baby period. So the pow wow mobile has four of our pow wow dancers on there, and they like spin and dance in a circle. And it's really attractive for like infants who are learning to see. But the cultural component, like, you know, one day that infant will enter the powwow circle if they go dance themselves, right. And like, they'll do that with their kid maybe and their parents. And so there's a lot more teachings than like the developmental purpose for each item,” said Brook.During the pandemic, Brook received a Finnovation fellowship and LISC grant that helped develop business infrastructure. She has since fundraised enough to buy a bus for mobile services. “Our first powwow for the St. Paul Indian Education Program is this weekend. It's our first one since probably the pandemic. So that's, like, cool that like small ones are coming back and big ones too, I would say. So that's what I'm looking forward to in the short term. What I'm definitely looking forward to getting that bus and operations …Because my business is not like a billion-dollar business or anything like that. All profits I pretty much give away, but I think when the bus comes, I can take care of my business, and my business could take care of me. So yeah, I'm looking forward to reaching that point,” said Brook.Miigwetch to Brook LaFloe for sharing with us.

Eren Bali arrived in Silicon Valley from Turkey in 2010 hoping to relaunch Udemy, his online education company. He spent a few years working at the tech startup Speed Date before following through with his original plan, after which Udemy went on to be enormously successful. When his mother became ill and Eren spent some months accompanying her to doctors in order to get the right diagnosis and treatment, he had a realization that led him to his true mission. Now, as CEO and founder of Carbon Health, Eren is leading one of the country's fastest growing healthcare startups. It's mission is to provide really high quality healthcare to the entire population, with a special focus on underserved demographics. A provider of low-cost health clinics across the country, Carbon Health was also on the frontlines when the COVID pandemic hit--and even understood what was coming long before most people in the U.S. did. They pivoted to monitoring patients for COVID, then testing. Ultimately, the company partnered with the City of Los Angeles, and as Eren recalls, "seven days after the original handshake and launch into a scheduling website, we helped launch Dodger stadium, which was the single largest mass vaccination site in the country." From there, Carbon Health fully reinvented themselves as a full-stack public health company.

We're looking at a health issue that disproportionately affects black women - Uterine fibroids. These are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb. There is little research on what causes fibroids or how to prevent them. Azeezat Olaoluwa, BBC News Women's Affairs journalist based in Lagos, has been investigating. And the findings from a small study in South Africa on a leading Covid-19 vaccine have led to questions over its effectiveness. This one offers the most promise for Africa as it doesn't need to be kept at super low temperatures. There are still plans to roll out this vaccine across Africa, though South Africa is now looking for alternatives. Rhoda Odhiambo has been looking into what it all means. Presented by Priscilla Ngethe.

Jennifer Hunter, Founder & CEO at Emvitals, a SentryHealth partner, discusses why supporting employee emotional health is critical to sustaining trust and engagement throughout this pandemic.

We pre-recorded today's conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Feit, Vice President of Population Health for Valley Health to discuss the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Feit walked me through Valley Health's process for preparing to receive the vaccine; how they prioritize it's distribution; and when/how many they hope to receive in the next delivery. We talked about the efficacy of both the Pfizer vaccine as well as the Moderna vaccine scheduled for FDA review this week. He explained what an mRNA vaccine is, how they work and why they're different from traditional flu vaccines. Dr. Feit also answered several of my questions regarding the need for the second dose, whether it's required if you've already had COVID, and more.

With Moderna's vaccine potentially on the way, Mississippi's health officials plan for distribution of shots to more front-line workers and long term care residents.And, the ten-month long pandemic has changed the way Mississippians live and grieve. We examine how the coronavirus has affected mental health in the state.Then, how mitigation practices are changing the ways families engage withe Santa this holiday season.Segment 1:Hospitals across Mississippi are administering the first coronavirus vaccines to front-line healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. The first 25,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine have gone primarily to at-risk health professionals. State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers tells our Kobee Vance the first week of distribution has gone well, but more vaccine is needed to meet the needs of hospitals and long-term care facilities. We also hear from State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs and Dr. Emily Landrum of StarkvilleSegment 2:The Mississippi Department of Mental Health is launching a "Behind the Mask Campaign" to encourage residents to pay closer attention to their mental health and seek help when needed. Experts say feelings of anxiety and depression are common during the coronavirus pandemic, with contributing factors that include changes in employment, children learning from home, and death of loved ones. Molly Taylor is with the state department of mental health. She says a $1.6 million grant is allowing the department to fund 15 providers across the state to further offer mental health services. She examines the toll of the pandemic on Mississippi's mental health with our Ashley Norwood.Segment 3:How do you visit Santa in a pandemic? Of course, climbing on Santa's lap in a crowded mall isn't safe with COVID-19 surging across the South. But families and Santa are adapting. From W-B-H-M in Birmingham, Alabama, Andrew Yeager reports.Segment 4:Highway safety is a serious matter. But during this and other holiday seasons, a team from the Mississippi Department of Transportation is using a touch of levity to get those safe driving messages out. Michael Flood is with MDOT, he shares more about this year's messaging campaign and the importance of getting real-time information to Mississippi's motorists.

Over the course of this season, we've had several guests on the show to talk about the unique role that nurses play in spurring grassroots innovation within their organizations. Our guest for this episode is putting this into practice and has made innovation a theme of her career.  Charlene Platon is a rising star in the nursing profession. In under ten years, she's risen up the ranks to become the Director of Ambulatory Nursing at Stanford Health Care and was recently named as one of the inaugural recipients of Johnson & Johnson's Nurse Innovation Fellowship. She's passionate about using technology to transform healthcare delivery and improve patient care.  In addition to innovation, Charlene is also passionate about leadership, particularly from a millennial point of view. In this episode, she and Dan talk about everything from gaining confidence as a new leader, the importance of soft skills and emotional intelligence in managing teams and how to make time for innovation-related projects as a nurse.
