Send us Fan MailIf you've ever accepted leaking as the toll you pay to keep running, this one's going to reframe it.Dr. Linda McLean (@mfm_lab) is one of the foremost researchers on the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence — a professor and Chair in Women's Health Research at the University of Ottawa. In this Summer Rewind, we cut through what the science actually shows about why running-induced urinary incontinence happens… and where popular advice for active moms gets it wrong.We get into pelvic floor morphology, how running may load and change those structures, and what the evidence says about interventions — including pessaries and other intravaginal support devices for runners who leak. Linda also unpacks the difference between evidence-based and evidence-informed, and how to break down the barriers keeping women from exercise.Leaking when you run is common… but common doesn't have to mean permanent.Always work with your own pelvic floor PT and maternity provider — this conversation is education, not individual care.Time Stamps1:00 Introduction3:58 bio feedback in pelvic PT6:46 morphology paper16:41 the roll strength plays21:15 connecting clinical findings to research32:10 intra-abdominal pressure34:50 different causes of urinary incontinence40:20 supportive devices44:29 elongation of the pelvic floorCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH LINDAIG: https://www.instagram.com/mfm_lab/Website: www.mfmlab.caX: @mfmlabFacebook: @mfmlabuottawaThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.  This show has been a long time in the making!   You can expect conversation with moms and professionals from all aspects of the industry.   If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!  If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and review.

Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, PhD, is the author of the 700-page textbook Applied Nutrition Coaching and Counseling for Coaches. Most nutrition coaches know their protocols — but very few have been trained in what to actually do when a client says something unexpected, breaks down, or simply won't follow the plan. Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon reveals the counseling techniques that most nutrition coaches have never learned — and why mastering them matters more than any protocol. She explains why over-optimized clients are often the most fragile, how AI is eroding the critical thinking skills coaches rely on, and what it really takes to translate complex science into simple, effective actions. Expect to learn why LLMs are story-making machines that confidently get facts wrong, how the broken healthcare system is pushing patients toward fringe advice, what body awareness coaching actually looks like in practice, why Dunning-Kruger applies to both coaches and clients, how to help clients prepare better conversations with their doctors, and what makes coaching an irreplaceable human profession — and much more.

Dr. Beth Beaudin-Seiler is a Project Director in the Health Research and Insights practice area, where she leads the Health Economics and Policy team. She leads a portfolio of work that focuses on health care affordability, including the Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey (CHES) - a survey designed to understand the burdens, trade-offs, and worries respondents have regarding affording health care. Her goal is to educate listeners on the findings of the 2025 TN CHES Survey.https://healthcarevaluehub.org/consumer-healthcare-experience-state-survey/1:38 Beth's backstory from the College of Aviation at Western Michigan University, training pilots to researching healthcare at Altarum.What is Altarum?A nonprofit organization that focuses on improving the health of individuals who have fewer financial resources, or are disenfranchised by the system. Altarum works on behalf of federal, state, and philanthropic organizations on evidence-based research , planning, and implementing different strategies to address healthcare affordability. I am the senior manager of our health economics and policy program area, under our Health Research and Insights Division at Altarum.728 What is the CHES Survey, and what are its findings?CHES survey stands for the Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey. In 2018, when we started CHES, because we've kind of felt like the healthcare system could be a lot like playing chess. It's difficult to navigate. The CHES survey asks about respondents' experiences with the healthcare system. Not only their experience in navigating it, their confidence in being able to navigate it, what they have experienced in terms of affordability burden, have they had to make trade-offs in terms of trading off food or housing or basic necessities in order to pay for a medical service or medical procedure or a test or their medications, whether or not they're worried about affording medical services both now and in the future. We ask about their levels of trust and respect in the system, and how they feel they've been treated in the healthcare system.10:24 CHES Survey was presented at a Tennessee Justice Center webinar11:17 How often do Tennesseans ration their medications?13:38 Health care affordability concerns for individuals with disabilities?16:13 When people with insurance choose to forgo care because of high deductibles and copays.17:41 How should research like the CHES survey be utilized by parent advocates and healthcare providers that support this community? 22:23 Next Steps?The  CHES survey has been conducted in 36 unique states in the US to form a national database. Findings need to be aggregated to benchmark individual state performance.

How can we use digital technology to address children's physical and mental health needs and shift from reactive to anticipatory, personalised care? This episode is the first of a series on research and child health and discusses the role of technology in transforming child health. Professor Paul Dimitri, Director of Research and Innovation at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust and paediatric endocrinology consultant talks with Nish Talawila Da Camara, Head of Research and Evidence. Paul outlines how digital tools, data and artificial intelligence can be used to build a more proactive and humane system for addressing children and young people's health. There are many exciting advancements in the world of digital health technology, from new infrastructure like the incoming National Centre for Child Health Technology to advancements like remote monitoring, digital twins and AI. But we now face new challenges: Paul emphasises the need for child-focused digital standards and safeguarding measures. As children and young people's physical and mental needs are rising, 'the real opportunity isn't the technology itself. It's what we choose to do with it.'

Welcome to the second episode this week in our triple header of late breaking clinical trials coverage from Heart Rhythm 2026 in Chicago. Host Christopher C Cheung, MD, MPH, FHRS is joined by Mihail G. Chelu, MD, PhD, FHRS and Derek Chew, MD, MS, FHRS for a conversation in Chicago. The LEAP2 trial, a first-in-human chronic feasibility study presented at Heart Rhythm 2026, evaluated a novel leadless pacemaker designed for conduction system pacing to more closely replicate physiologic cardiac activation. Early results from this small cohort demonstrated high implantation success, reliable device performance, and effective pacing of the heart's native conduction pathways through short-term follow-up. These findings highlight the potential of leadless conduction system pacing as an innovative alternative to traditional pacing strategies, pending further long-term data.   Learning Objectives Describe the principles and clinical rationale for conduction system pacing and how it differs from traditional right ventricular pacing.  Evaluate early safety and performance outcomes of novel leadless pacemaker systems designed for physiologic pacing.  Assess the potential clinical implications and future role of leadless conduction system pacing technologies in patients requiring permanent pacing.   Podcast Contributors Christopher C Cheung, MD, MPH, FHRS Mihail G.

Your body already makes the most powerful wound-healing molecule on the planet, and now you can use it at home. This episode breaks down hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the compound your white blood cells produce naturally, and why it outperforms Neosporin, hydrogen peroxide, and synthetic antibiotics for everything from cuts and burns to eczema, rosacea, and chronic wounds. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Grab a generous discount on your next purchase of Active Skin Repair by using code ‘Dave' at: https://www.activeskinrepair.com Host Dave Asprey sits down with Justin Gardner, a 20-year leader in health, wellness, and regenerative medicine who has founded and sold multiple companies and introduced over 50 innovative products into hospitals and doctors' offices. When Justin discovered hypochlorous acid, he shifted his entire focus to making this medical-grade, non-toxic molecule available to the public, founding Active Skin Repair to give people a cleaner, more effective alternative to the chemical-laden products that dominate the skincare aisle. Dave and Justin cover the full biohacking case for HOCl: how it kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in 15 seconds, why it does not trigger antibiotic resistance, how it avoids destroying the healthy growth factors that hydrogen peroxide nukes, and how it supports the skin microbiome instead of wrecking it. They also get into AI as a tool for functional medicine research, why the standard of care is the floor not the ceiling, and how smarter not harder approaches to wound care and chronic skin conditions are finally going mainstream. Dave shares the story of treating a mystery acid beetle wound from his Amazon trip using this exact compound, and why it belongs in every medicine cabinet alongside your supplements stack. You'll Learn: Why hypochlorous acid is 100 times more powerful than bleach but has the same safety profile as saline How HOCl mimics your immune system's own wound response instead of overriding it Why hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin can actually stall healing and damage your skin microbiome How HOCl disrupts biofilms in chronic wounds, sinuses, and on the skin during eczema flare-ups Why most HOCl products on the market contain little to no active ingredient How to use AI tools like Claude and Perplexity for functional medicine research that most doctors haven't done Why the US standard of care is the floor, not the ceiling, for anyone serious about longevity and anti-aging How to stack HOCl with red light therapy and other biohacking tools for faster recovery Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at https://www.viome.com/ and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

Women's Hormonal HealthEndometriosis can be a painful and sometimes debilitating chronic disease in which tissue from the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. According to the Yale school of medicine, even though it is one of the most common women's health conditions, affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide, it is one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed. It can take between four and 11 years for women to receive a correct diagnosis, according to the American Medical Association, and it has no cure. There are a host of other conditions that women navigate that experts say are under researched and misunderstood, including polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, which is a common hormonal disorder, impacting 10% to 13% of women, that can lead to irregular or painful periods, weight gain, among other issues. According to the Society for Women's Health Research, almost half of women saw three or more clinicians before being diagnosed. And it is estimated that up to 70% of women with PCOS do not know they have it. Both endometriosis and PCOS are associated with fertility challenges. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," an expert in women's health helps us better understand these conditions and others. We'll learn why it can be so difficult to receive a diagnosis, as well as what treatment options are available. We'll hear directly from patients, who will share how these diseases have, in some cases, completely upended their lives. Guests:- Rachel Pope, M.D., OB/GYN & Chief of Female Sexual Health, University Hospitals- Megan Clarke, Patient with endometriosis- Megan Gallager, Patient who had thyroid removed twice- Sarah Lackney, Patient with uterine fibroids The Menu: New foods at Progressive FieldTomorrow is Opening Day for the Cleveland Guardians, and at Progressive Field, fans will find more than just a new roster. The stadium is rolling out a new lineup of food, local partnerships and updated spaces. It's also drawing national attention, ranking fourth on USA Today's "10 Best" list for baseball stadium food. Voters highlighted Cleveland favorites, from pierogi and sausages to the Slider Dog topped with Froot Loops, bacon and mac and cheese. This season also brings expanded collaborations with local spots like Good Company, STEAK, Aladdin's, and Sauce the City. Concession areas are getting a refresh as well, with the Arcade Marketplace shifting to a grab-and-go format and the former Fat Head's space reopening as The Landing, a self-checkout market and gathering spot. "The Menu" is our biweekly segment on Northeast Ohio's food scene, produced in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine. Guests:- Dillon Stewart, Editor, Cleveland Magazine- Julia Licastro, Vice President of Operations and Partner, Hangry Brands- Rachelle Murphy, Culinary Director, Seasoned Brands

Any time young men go online or open a social media app, they're stepping into a minefield of competing messages about what it means to be a man. How to act, how to feel and who to be. You've probably heard the term manosphere online spaces that take belonging, purpose and masculine identity and turn them into rigid, often extreme ideas of what it means to be a man. While it's never far from the headlines the issues around it have come to the for again after the British Documentary Louis Threoux documentary launch on Netlfix earlier this month. Joining Emile to discuss further is Dr Zac Seidler, a clinical psychologist and leading expert in men's mental health, as well as Global Director of Men's Health Research at Movember.

Skepticism around public health policy, experts and institutions has left some researchers asking basic questions about their role and relationship with the public. Can public health be done better?  Epidemiologist Erica Walker has a perspective on just that. She started off studying noise pollution, found her science wasn't serving people as she hoped, and pivoted her approach in an effort to be more useful. Flora sits down with Walker to hear the story.  Guest: Dr. Erica Walker is an assistant professor of epidemiology and director of the Community Noise Lab at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

In this episode, Associate Editor Dr. Keith Brunt (Dalhousie University) interviews lead author Dr. Shrushti Shah (University of Calgary) and expert Dr. Jasenka Zubcevic* (University of South Florida) about the exciting new study by Shah et al. that explores the relationship between the cardiovascular system and the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome contains nearly 40 trillion microbial cells, and major alterations to the gut microbiome can be determinants of health and disease. The research by Shah and co-authors as part of Alberta's Tomorrow Project, which published in the Call for Papers on Women's Health Research and Cardiovascular Disease, allowed for a matched unbiased omics study of serum biomarkers with concurrent fecal microbiota analysis to compare hypertensive and normotensive study participants. Did changes in circulating tryptophan in middle-aged women signal a risk for developing hypertension? Listen now to find out.   Shrushti Shah, Chunlong Mu, Grace Shen-Tu, Kristina Schlicht, Nils D.

Women were were excluded from federally funded medical research until 1993. Health journalist Meghan Rabbitt interviewed over 100 female experts to create a manifesto for women's healthcare everything from why we're still learning anatomy named after dead men to why your gynecologic history affects your heart disease risk decades later.Meghan is a health journalist who's been translating complex medical topics into accessible language for 25 years. She's spent her career asking doctors the questions patients want answered and helping women understand their bodies better. When Maria Shriver asked her to write a manifesto about women's healthcare, even with all that experience, she was shocked by what she learned. Women weren't included in federally funded medical research until 1993. Autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women, but we still don't know why. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, yet awareness is declining.We talk about what it means to become the CEO of your own healthcare and why that mindset matters. Meghan shares practical strategies for making the most of short doctor visits and navigating the flood of health information online. We discuss why shame keeps women from getting care, why we need to stop normalizing pain, and how perimenopause can be a window of opportunity instead of something to fear. The conversation covers everything from why your pregnancy complications matter for heart health decades later to why medical devices are still designed without women's bodies in mind.HighlightsMost doctors don't proactively discuss lifetime breast cancer risk with patients.70% of autoimmune disease patients are female, but research is severely underfunded.Anatomical eponyms like "fallopian tubes" actually increase cognitive load for medical students.Making a prioritized symptom list before appointments helps maximize limited doctor visit time.80% of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women.Gynecologic history like preeclampsia impacts heart disease risk decades later.Start thinking of yourself as the CEO of your own healthcare. That means educating yourself, showing up to appointments with a prioritized list of what matters most to you, and stopping the apologizing. Your body isn't something to be ashamed of. Your symptoms aren't an inconvenience. If you're a woman of color facing additional barriers in the healthcare system, bring someone with you to appointments who can advocate alongside you.Make sure to subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with any woman who needs permission to stop normalizing pain and start demanding better care.Get in Touch with Meghan:WebsiteInstagramSubstackLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. David Allison, Director of the USDA Children's Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they examine what it takes to build public trust in nutrition and longevity science, and why clear, reproducible evidence matters more than ever. David highlights how public perception and scientific rigor can drift apart, especially in fields crowded with strong opinions and shifting trends.David shares sharp insights on weight management, challenging the idea that slow and steady always wins. He explains the “dentistry model” of weight loss, where maintenance matters more than one-time fixes, and explores why most people regain weight without ongoing support. The discussion cuts through assumptions about exercise, protein, and processed foods, showing where animal research aligns, or fails to align, with human studies.Throughout, David pushes for honest communication and transparency in science. He urges listeners to question hype, look past nutrition fads, and recognize the real limits of current evidence. The episode offers practical wisdom for anyone who wants to approach health, nutrition, and longevity with both curiosity and caution. Guest-at-a-Glance

“The reality is that there are power differentials between a student, a junior scholar and a full professor, or between a medical assistant, a patient, and a physician. But recognizing those power dynamics, if you are in a position of power, really using your privilege, your position as a gatekeeper to speak up and intervene or to give platform to folks that may have less access to power to intervene.”-Khadijah AmeenDrs. Khadijah Ameen and Collins Airhihenbuwa share their work on how to expand how we think about bystandersand perpetrators of racial violence, and how bystander behavioral approaches can be used to intervene. They bring in antiracism frameworks such as the Public Health Critical Race Praxis and the PEN-3 Cultural Model to illustrate their points using some antiracism bystander intervention scenarios.This episode references the article “Expanding Bystander Behavioral Approaches to Address Racial Violence in Health Research, Pedagogy, and Practice” by Khadijah Ameen and Collins Airhihenbuwa.

Reflections on the Peter Attia/Epstein scandal; How to lower lp(a)—does diet help? What are bio-active peptides? Could they stave off kidney disease? Scientists just tested the fittest 81-year-old in the world—here's what they found; Media erroneously report that intermittent fasting is not effective for weight loss; Sugary drinks may stoke anxiety in teens; Omega-3s support kids' reading fluency and spelling scores; Surprising study shows saturated fats not harmful to kidneys.

n this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson breaks down new research on resistance training and fat loss. He reviews a recent study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology and connects it to over a decade of evidence on how strength training influences body composition.Luke explains why the goal of weight loss should be fat loss—not just a lower number on the scale—and how resistance training helps preserve or increase lean muscle while maximizing fat reduction. He also explores the critical role of abdominal fat in cardiometabolic risk and what the latest findings reveal about reducing central obesity.If you want to understand the science behind “high-quality weight loss” and why lifting weights is essential for long-term health and weight maintenance, this episode delivers the key takeaways.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

Dr. Kayla Osterhoff is a neuropsychophysiologist and women's health expert who studies how female biology actually works. In this episode, Kayla explains why many women feel like different versions of themselves throughout the month, and why modern health research and workplaces weren't built to support that reality. Drawing on her experience as a former senior scientist at the CDC, she breaks down how women are overlooked in health studies, how that leads to burnout and poor outcomes, and what needs to change for women to be better supported.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome back one of the most influential voices in modern honey bee health research, Dr. Jeff Pettis. A longtime USDA-ARS scientist and former president of Apimondia, Jeff Pettis joins the show to reflect on decades of research while offering a candid look at how he actually keeps bees today. The conversation begins with updates on Jeff's transition away from Apimondia leadership and into a more focused phase of consulting, mentoring, and hands-on beekeeping. He shares insights from his ongoing work with Tropilaelaps mites, including what recent international research tells us about detection, sampling methods, and treatment options—knowledge that may prove critical if this pest ever establishes in North America. Listeners also hear a rare and refreshing perspective as Jeff opens up about his own beekeeping practices. From using organic acids for varroa management, to feeding strategies, winter preparation, and even his simple "brick system" for hive management, this episode bridges the gap between laboratory science and real-world decision making in the apiary. The discussion rounds out with reflections on the current state of honey bee research, the importance of sustained public investment in science, and why experience in the bee yard still matters—no matter how many papers you've published. This is a thoughtful, practical, and occasionally humorous conversation that reminds us why good science and good beekeeping belong together.

Today, I am delighted to reconnect with two previous guests, Dr. Darren Candow. Dr. Candow is a distinguished professor and an internationally renowned researcher on creatine monohydrate, nutrition, and physical activity, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with on Episode 301, where we discussed creatine.  We are doing an AMA session today, delving into various themes surrounding creatine, from debunking outdated RDA recommendations to exploring the synergies between strength training and creatine efficacy. We examine the cognitive benefits of creatine, investigating its interactions with caffeine and its implications for bone health, hydration, anabolic resistance, and metabolic health.  You will find today's AMA session as enlightening and enriching as I did while recording it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The safety and efficacy of creatine as a supplement How creatine increases muscle mass and reduces protein catabolism The benefits of combining creatine with protein  Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout? How creatine supplementation may improve brain performance and mental clarity Why exercise is essential for those who want to experience the benefits of creatine for maintaining their bone health The benefits of resistance-band workouts for post-menopausal women Are there any age-related limits for creatine supplementation? Bio: Dr. Darren Candow Dr. Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, is Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Canada. The overall objectives of Dr. Candow's research program are to develop effective lifestyle interventions that incorporate nutrition (primarily creatine monohydrate) and physical activity (resistance training), with practical and clinical relevance for improving musculoskeletal aging and reducing the risk of falls and fractures.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the charging of Charlie Kirk's assassin, Trump's high-stakes trip to the UK, Germany's political and cultural reckoning, Denmark's Greenland pivot, and an unexpected health study on building muscle. From courtroom revelations to foreign policy clashes and even workout science, today's brief connects the dots shaping America's security and daily life.   Charlie Kirk Assassin Formally Charged: Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with Utah prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Text messages revealed him telling his trans boyfriend, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.” Robinson bragged about “engraving bullets” and retrieving his rifle from a “drop point.” Senator Mike Lee warned of possible Cuban and Iranian ties to Armed Queers Salt Lake City, while critics blasted ABC News for framing the texts as a “very intimate portrait.” Bryan warns, “This is bigger than one loner assassin… this is a puzzle piece that fits into a Leftist revolution.”   Trump Visits the UK Amid Socialist Criticism: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked Trump as a xenophobe fanning “far-right politics,” even as King Charles prepared a lavish welcome. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and may also meet Reform UK's Nigel Farage, a move described as “Make Great Britain Great Again.” Bryan says such a meeting would be “sweet revenge” after Labour staffers campaigned for Kamala Harris in U.S. swing states last year.   Germany's Reckoning with AfD Surge: The populist AfD party won record support in western Germany as voters revolt over high energy prices, economic stagnation, and radical Islam. A spate of Islamist terror attacks and growing “no-go zones” in Berlin add to fears, while reports mock German workers as lazier than Greeks or Italians. One slacker told reporters, “There are other parts of life besides work, you know.”   Denmark's Greenland Pivot: After Trump's pressure to secure Greenland, Denmark pledged $250 million for new runways, ports, and defenses against China and Russia. The timing of the announcement — as Trump landed in London — highlighted Denmark's attempt to appease U.S. demands without ceding sovereignty.   Finland and Poland Revive Bog Defenses: Officials plan to restore swamps and peat bogs along Russian borders to bog down invading tanks, reviving a centuries-old defense strategy. Baltic nations may follow, though Germany dismissed the idea as too costly.   Health Research on Muscle Building: Illinois researchers found that lean pork after workouts builds more muscle than fattier cuts, adding to past findings that whole eggs and fresh salmon outperform supplements. Bryan quips, “Get strong… you never know when a Leftist might come for you.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson charged, Utah death penalty, Armed Queers Salt Lake City Cuba Iran ties, ABC News Charlie Kirk texts coverage, Trump UK visit Sadiq Khan criticism, King Charles Windsor Castle Trump, Nigel Farage Reform UK meeting, Germany AfD populist surge, German worker laziness Washington Post, Germany Islamist terror Cologne rapes, Denmark Greenland $250 million defense, Finland Poland restore bogs Russia defense, Illinois lean pork muscle building study, whole eggs salmon workout protein
