In this episode of Conversations for Health, we discuss key points that every health care practitioner should know about Lyme disease, even if they're not treating it. Lyme is often missed or misdiagnosed, and patients may present with fatigue, neurological symptoms, or mystery chronic illness symptoms that don't respond to conventional or holistic approaches. We explore when to suspect Lyme, what testing and coinfections to consider, when to refer out, and so much more. This conversation is filled with clinical pearls, actionable clinical insights and a healthy respect for the complexity of this condition.    I'm your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.   Episode Resources: Dr. Julianna Dudas: https://restormedicine.com/our-team/dr-julianna-dudas-nd/ 7-Breath Vagal Nerve Reset for Hypertension and Regulating Heart Rate Design for Health Resources: Designs for Health - https://www.designsforhealth.com/ Designs for Health Practitioner Exclusive Drug Nutrient Depletion and Interaction Checker - https://www.designsforhealth.com/drug-nutrient-interaction/ Visit the Designs for Health Research and Education Library, which houses medical journals, protocols, webinars, and our blog. https://www.designsforhealth.com/research-and-education/education The Designs for Health Podcast is produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.

In 2021, the World Health Organization made a historic recommendation: to widely use the first ever malaria vaccine, RTS,S. This recommendation was based on evidence generated from a pilot vaccine implementation programme in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi that has reached more than 800 000 children since 2019. This is an excellent example of how evidence based on implementation research tells us whether health interventions, such as vaccines, will be effective in real life, after clinical trials show its efficacy and safety. In this episode, Margaret Gyapong of the University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ghana shares her first-hand experiences and learnings from the malaria vaccine pilot. Lee Hampton of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also tells us how implementation research has played a key role in the success of health programmes for diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid and more.Host Garry Aslanyan speaks with the following guests:Margaret Gyapong: Director, Institute for Health Research at the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ghana Lee Hampton: Vaccine preventable disease surveillance and vaccine safety focal point atGavi, the Vaccine Alliance, SwitzerlandDisclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on Instagram@ghm-podcast.bsky.social on Bluesky Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.  The CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO creative commons licence allows users to freely copy, reproduce, reprint, distribute, translate and adapt the work for non-commercial purposes, provided TDR is acknowledged as the source and adapted material is issued under the same licensing terms using the following suggested citation: Global Health Matters.

Carbohydrates have always been part of the endurance equation—but how much, when, and which types remain hotly debated. In this listener-driven episode, we tackle those questions and more, exploring a new paradigm in performance fueling that's reshaping how athletes think about energy during exercise. Dr. Jamie Whitfield, Senior Lecturer at Australian Catholic University's Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research, joins us to break it all down.For years, endurance athletes were trained to conserve carbs by becoming better fat-burners—adapting diet, training, and supplements to spare glycogen. But that thinking is evolving. As Jamie explains, the focus now is on maximizing carbohydrate use. Why? Because carbs are a more oxygen-efficient fuel source than fat—providing more energy per unit of oxygen. That efficiency improvement is a performance advantage in itself—like a supershoe, but internal.We dig into how elite athletes are pushing 90 to 120 grams of carbs per hour, and what it takes to train the gut to handle it. Are there limits? What happens when intake exceeds demand? Where does the glucose go? Are there health risks? We also explore carb types and ratios, strategies for carrying fuel without excess weight, and how to tailor intake to your individual needs.Jamie brings clarity to the technical details, helping translate complexity into actionable insight. If you're fueling training or racing, this episode will reshape your approach to performance nutrition—and maybe your results too.Show notes and linksDiscourse is our VIP community, and it was questions from those listeners that inspired this interview.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-08-2025: Dr. Dawn examines groundbreaking research on rising rates of early-onset colorectal cancer worldwide, explaining how researchers have identified a bacterial toxin called colibactin produced by specific E. coli strains that appears to cause early genetic mutations in cancer-controlling genes, potentially explaining why younger generations face significantly higher cancer risks. She discusses how modern medical practices like antibiotic overuse and cesarean deliveries may disrupt protective gut microbiomes, while diets low in fiber and high in animal fats create conditions where harmful bacteria thrive and damage the protective mucosal barrier, potentially exposing colon cells to cancer-causing mutations. Dr. Dawn explains fascinating research on transgenerational memory in C. elegans worms and mice, where learned aversions to specific odors are genetically passed down to offspring through epigenetic mechanisms involving methylation and RNA pathways, challenging traditional views on inheritance and suggesting implications for human genetics. Responding to an email about posterior tibial tendon disease (PTTD), she offers comprehensive management strategies including cross-massage with ice, proper footwear selection, careful stretching techniques, and anti-inflammatory approaches while cautioning against invasive procedures like steroid injections that might weaken tendons. She discusses promising research on rosemary's potential in Alzheimer's treatment, explaining how carnosic acid activates the NRF2 pathway that controls antioxidant proteins, with researchers developing a more stable chemical analog that reduced inflammation and improved memory in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dawn provides updates on vaccination recommendations, noting that egg allergy questions are no longer needed before flu vaccines, pneumococcal vaccines are now recommended for all adults over 50, and explaining the small risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome with RSV vaccines compared to the much larger risk of RSV-related deaths. She shares information about a new hypertension risk calculator called PREVENT that reclassifies many patients to lower risk categories, potentially allowing 2.6 million Americans to manage their blood pressure through lifestyle changes rather than medication, particularly benefiting older women who face different risk profiles than men.

It's an Emma-jority Wednesday and we've got 2 great guests for you. First though, Emma and Matt soak in some of the horrifying news coming out of Israel's siege on Gaza, where children are starving. The Trump administration has compounded the problem by continuing to support the Israeli military onslaught as they plan to intensify operations there. After that, Syracuse University professor Austin Kocher joins Emma to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to conscript local law enforcement to crack down on immigrant communities, as well as other extreme and unconstitutional tactics being taken by federal immigration enforcement agencies. Check out Austin's writing and research on his Substack: https://austinkocher.substack.com/ Then Dr. Kellan Baker, Executive Director of the Institute for Health Research and Policy at Whitman-Walker, gives his reaction to a new Trump administration report that endorses the widely discredited idea of so-called conversion therapy. He also talks about the barriers the Trump administration is fortifying to prevent trans people from getting the health care they need. In the Fun Half, Emma and Matt check in on the PBD podcast's reaction to the genius Trump idea of reopening Alcatraz as a prison. Their reviews are mixed folks! Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro is calling for the Trump administration to fire Peter Navarro and elevate Scott Bessent. All that and more on today's Emmajority Report!

When we lose someone, we love, we often say we have a broken heart—but what if that's not just a metaphor?In her new book “The Grieving Body: How The Stress of Loss Can Be An Opportunity For Healing” University of Arizona Professor of Psychology Mary Frances O'Connor shares groundbreaking insights into the biological and physiological impacts grief has on our bodies. O'Connor reveals how profound loss can lead to serious medical conditions, from heart attacks to immune system breakdowns, and explains why grieving can make us more vulnerable to diseases like cancer, pneumonia, and even autoimmune disorders.Drawing on her personal experiences and extensive research, O'Connor outlines why our medical system—and society at large—needs to rethink how we support grieving individuals. She makes a powerful case for viewing grief not only as an emotional experience but as a medical event deserving careful monitoring and intervention, similar to pregnancy or chronic illness.

With rates of Alzheimer's and dementia rising steeply, especially among women, the conventional pharmaceutical model has largely failed in treating the brain. Functional Medicine takes a different systems-based, personalized approach—focusing on inflammation, metabolic health, and environmental exposures—which offers real hope for prevention and even reversal of cognitive decline. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Heather Sandison, Dr. David Perlmutter, and Maria Shriver, why it is possible to reverse cognitive decline and the cutting-edge science of brain health and Alzheimer's prevention. Dr. Heather Sandison is the The New York Times bestselling author of Reversing Alzheimer's The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health. As a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine, she's the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego's premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison has dedicated her career to supporting those suffering with dementia and published her most recent clinical findings in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. She's excited to shatter common misconceptions about Alzheimer's and share what she's learned about keeping your brain sharp at any age. Dr. David Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He serves on the Board of Directors and is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition. He is the author of Grain Brain and Drop Acid, among others. Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine where he was awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award. He serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of Applied Nutrition. Shriver is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, former First Lady of California, founder of the Women's Alzheimer's Movement, and Strategic Advisor on Women's Health and Alzheimer's at Cleveland Clinic. Shriver works to use her voice and platforms to advance some of our nation's most pressing issues affecting women and women's health. In November 2023, Shriver joined the President and the First Lady to announce the first-ever White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, an effort led by Dr. Biden and the White House Gender Policy Council, to galvanize the Federal government and the private and philanthropic sectors to spur innovation, unleash transformative investment to close research gaps, and improve women's health. Shriver's advocacy led to the establishment of this historic initiative, and she continues to advise and collaborate with Dr. Biden.
