Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity There's a moment many women reach in midlife where things don't feel wrong but they don't feel right either. Digestion changes. Bloating appears out of nowhere. Sleep feels lighter. Inflammation lingers. And no one ever told us these systems might all be connected. I sat down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert, to talk about a topic that is still vastly underexplored in women's health: the gut microbiome during perimenopause and menopause.   So many women are told their digestive symptoms, inflammation, mood changes, or recurrent infections are just "part of aging." What Cynthia makes clear is that these experiences are deeply rooted in physiology and that when we understand what's happening, we're no longer powerless. This conversation matters because it replaces dismissal with clarity and fear with context. We examine how this topic shows up in daily life: - Why declining estrogen affects gut barrier integrity, immune response, and inflammation - How "leaky gut" can contribute to bone loss, autoimmune risk, and metabolic changes - The connection between gut health, mood, anxiety, and neurotransmitter signaling - Why fiber and short-chain fatty acids become more important in perimenopause and menopause - How fermented foods can support microbiome diversity and recovery after stress, illness, or antibiotics - The gut–vaginal microbiome connection and why improving one can support the other - How chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can accelerate hormonal aging and menopause timing   About Cynthia Thurlow: Cynthia Thurlow, NP is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting expert, and educator specializing in women's health, hormones, and longevity. Her work bridges functional and conventional medicine, with a focus on helping women understand the physiological changes of perimenopause and menopause through a science-based, compassionate lens.

We chat with Ciara Keegan and Ilana Marcucci-Morris from the National Union of Healthcare Workers about their ongoing contract dispute with Kaiser Permamente over the use and role of AI in healthcare, especially mental and behavioural health. We discuss the impacts of AI on labor conditions and patient care in giant hospital systems like Kaiser — plus the ways Kaiser wants to leave the door open for deeper integration of AI and replacement of healthcare providers. ••• Kaiser, Don't Deny | NUHW https://kaiserdontdeny.org/ ••• Will AI Replace Your Therapist?

“The world is a very volatile place, with currently 110 conflicts globally, and yet healthcare staff in the hospitals, even here in London, are not prepared to be the only clinician who can help in a crisis or hostile setting,” says Dr. David Gough, CEO of the David Nott Foundation, which equips providers with the skills and confidence needed to function in war and other extraordinary situations. A former British Army doctor injured in Afghanistan, Gough brings lived experience as well as a background in tech to his current role at the Foundation, which itself is anchored in decades of field work amassed by its namesake, a renowned war surgeon. As Dr. Gough points out to host Lindsey Smith, the cause could be helped by augmenting medical school curricula, but in the meantime, the Foundation is filling the knowledge gap by using prosthetics, virtual reality simulations and cadavers to train a broad swath of health workers including surgeons, anesthetists, and obstetricians. Tune in to this important Raise the Line conversation as Dr. Gough reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs in doing this work, his plans to expand the Foundation's footprint in the US, and the gratifying feedback he's received from trainees now operating on the frontlines in Ukraine and elsewhere. Mentioned in this episode:David Nott Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Praying for Healthcare Workers

PJ talks to Noreen, who suffers from Long COVID after getting infected during lockdown and now faces financial ruin as the government cuts off financial support. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's Monday News Drop, Bo Brabo, Luke Carignan, and Jeremy Sadlier tackle two headlines that should have every healthcare HR leader paying close attention: reported job eliminations at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and a new survey showing more than half of U.S. healthcare workers are considering leaving their roles.The conversation cuts through headlines and focuses on what HR leaders need to understand, question, and act on.

Jill Eubank, Division President of Professional Talent Solutions at Randstad USA, shares key findings from the Randstad Work Monitor Pulse Survey on the current landscape in the medical and healthcare industry. Noted is the significant shift from prioritizing remote work to job security, alignment with leadership values, and how AI is being used to improve job efficiency.  In an environment facing a scarcity of qualified employees, retention drivers include pay increases that keep pace with inflation, flexible scheduling, and strong manager support. Jill explains, "We're the largest staffing and workforce solution provider in the country and really in the world. We offer recruiting, staffing, HR services, whether it's on a temporary contingent basis or even all the way up to executive search and permanent placement. In healthcare specifically, our co consultants specialize in recruiting for those essential roles in the healthcare industry. Think medical, dental, and pharmaceutical sectors. We have a large, extensive network of not only clients in healthcare, but also candidates and a pool of talent in the market." "I think during COVID, we saw, especially in the healthcare industry, people wanting to find a way to work remotely for a lot of various reasons. What you're finding is that it's now shifting to employability versus working remotely. And in order to stay in a role for, let's say, five years or more, what we're finding is healthcare workers are saying that the top three retention drivers are an annual pay increase that keeps up with inflation or above inflation, followed by manager support, which was something we hadn't seen as frequently in the healthcare space. And then obviously, something that has evolved over the last couple of years is alignment with leadership values. A lot of very interesting key takeaways, but things you're starting to see evolve with the market and what's happening just with the workforce in general." #RandstadUSA #TalentStrategy #WorkforceInsights #FutureofWork #HealthcareJobs #TalenRetention #WorkplaceTrends #HealthcareLeadership #EmployeeWellbeing #FutureofWork randstadusa.com Download the transcript here

Eran Alam (Harvard University) speaks to the Infectious Historians about foreign healthcare workers in the US. The conversation begins with an examination of doctors in the US - how many are trained (and retire), different fields and different parts of the country. Historically, immigration has been a key way in which the US has historically addressed shortages of doctors. Eram highlights the different countries - particularly in South Asia - from which doctors immigrated to the US, where they became instrumental for the US healthcare system. At the same time, this migration also had long-term impacts on doctors' home countries.

Why are nurses a favorite target for horror movie villains? Why are nurses seen in movies as either sexy, satanic or dieties? In this spine-chilling episode of The Gritty Nurse, Amie Archibald-Varley and Guest Host Jordan Varley discuss the dark side of cinema's obsession with healthcare horror and nursing horror tropes. We cover everything from the psychological weight of nurse stereotypes and the real-world terror of nurse killers, to the unsettling history of asylums and our ingrained fears of medical procedures. Get ready for a thought-provoking analysis of horror film tropes and cultural perceptions of mental health. Tune in for expert commentary and find out which horror movies you must watch next. Ideal for fans of psychological thrillers and medical horror. Takeaways Horror films often reflect societal fears about vulnerability in healthcare. Nurses are frequently depicted as villainous in horror, which can perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Real-life cases of nurse killers highlight the darker side of the profession. The portrayal of asylums in horror films often exaggerates historical realities. Fear of medical procedures is a common theme in horror, tapping into real anxieties. Cultural perceptions of mental health are often shaped by horror narratives. The sexy nurse trope undermines the professionalism of nursing. Horror can serve as a lens to examine deeper psychological issues. The evolution of horror tropes reflects changing societal attitudes towards healthcare. Personal experiences with horror films can reveal underlying fears and anxieties.  Chapters 00:00Exploring the Intersection of Healthcare and Horror 01:52Nurse Stereotypes in Horror Films 04:33The Villainous Nurse Archetype 06:59Real-Life Nurse Killers and Their Impact 09:56The Role of Asylums in Horror 12:26Psychological Fears and Vulnerability in Healthcare 15:11The Evolution of Horror Tropes 18:18The Fear of Medical Procedures 20:10Cultural Perceptions of Mental Health 23:06The Future of Horror in Healthcare 25:39Top Horror Movie Recommendations

Dr. Arup Roy-Burman, Founder and Chief Strategy and Medical Officer of Elemeno Health, is addressing the gap between established medical policies and actual frontline practice. The Elemeno microlearning platform provides just-in-time multimedia content, building confidence in high-risk, low-frequency procedures, helping support knowledge retention, and combating clinician burnout. This modern approach to learning caters to clinicians with shorter attention spans and the expectation of receiving information on the device of their choice when they need it. Arup explains, "My background is as an ICU physician, and I have practiced as an ICU director for 20-plus years. And the challenge that we had in our ICUs is how to keep our teams on the same page with constantly changing information? And on top of that, in the context of constantly changing staff, medicine is full of so many different practices, workflows, and procedures, and we expect our staff to know all of them and to be able to execute on each one of them at the time that they need to. But that's really unrealistic. There's no way that people can stay on top of it. All medical knowledge doubles every 73 days."   "When we think about today's generational workforce, as we think about just those of us who have kids, we see that attention spans, as you said, are short. People don't want to sit through a whole classroom. They can't remember that. And the way that people want to learn now and the way that they do learn, it's like one of our clients put it, it's like the "TikTokification of education." How do we deliver information on a mobile device? How do we deliver it in short, bite-sized chunks? Multimedia that you can actually consume in context when you need it." #ElemenoHealth #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #Microlearning #NurseTraining  elemenohealth.com Listen to the podcast here

In this crucial and eye-opening episode of the Gritty Nurse podcast with host Amie Archibald-Varley and guest host, Jordan Varley, they confront the hidden crisis of addiction within the healthcare industry. This is essential listening for nurses, physicians, social workers, and all healthcare professionals struggling with the stigma of substance abuse. I'll never forget my first exposure to addiction in the workplace—it was the epitome of a toxic culture. My then-boss shared a disgusting story about a former director allegedly found drunk under a desk, treating a colleague's pain as a vicious joke. I realized instantly that in this environment, no healthcare worker would ever feel safe coming forward. That betrayal of confidentiality and trust perfectly illustrated the profound stigma we're fighting. We delve into the alarming substance abuse statistics and share raw, personal stories that reveal the profound struggles faced by healthcare workers who are silently battling addiction. Our special guest, social worker Jordan, joins us to tear down the wall of shame and expose the systemic issues that often enable or worsen provider impairment. We address the pressures from leadership—the maligning manager or enabling system—that makes seeking addiction treatmentand achieving recovery so difficult. Tune in to understand why it's crucial for every hospital and clinic to champion healthcare worker recovery and create a culture that genuinely dedicates itself to saving the healers. Please do not forget to LIKE and Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Youtube!  Keywords addiction, healthcare, nurses, stigma, workplace culture Takeaways Addiction is a rising crisis in healthcare. 10-15% of nurses struggle with substance abuse. Registered nurses are 2.2 times more likely to die from overdose. Stigma prevents healthcare workers from seeking help. 43% of drug-related deaths involve workplace medications. Physician suicide rates are high due to substance abuse. Workplace culture contributes to addiction issues. Healthcare workers face unique addiction challenges.

The start of the new school year brings the usual set of challenges for students as they navigate new schedules, lesson plans and social dynamics. Those changes can also take a toll on a student’s mental health. A survey conducted in 2023 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found, for example, that 40% of high school students nationwide reported depressive symptoms - an increase of more than 10% since 2013. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory in 2021 warning about worsening youth mental health, exacerbated by the pandemic and excessive use of social media.     The Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health at University of Oregon is working to help address this crisis of youth mental health. Launched in 2022, the institute is pioneering the first program of its kind in the nation to educate and train a new class of healthcare workers: child behavioral health specialists. The 4-year program provides an alternative to the additional years and cost a student would typically have to spend in graduate school to become, for example, a school psychologist or social worker. Instead, the undergraduates in the program obtain 700 hours of applied training that starts their junior year with internships at Portland area schools, clinics and community organizations. While they can’t provide diagnoses or conduct psychological evaluations, the interns can help prevent and mitigate behavioral health challenges by teaching, for example, problem-solving strategies or coping skills kids can use during stressful situations.     Joining us for more details are Cody Ghion, an assistant clinical professor at UO’s Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health; Sophia Morgan, a UO senior and child behavioral health intern who is currently working at a high school in Portland for students in recovery from substance use; and Anne Libby, who is also a UO senior and child behavioral health intern currently working at a pediatric clinic in Hillsboro.

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're talking about helping neurodivergent healthcare workers avoid burnout at work.Cat has been in healthcare her entire life, starting as a toddler volunteering in hospice, and working her way up to earning a nursing degree in 2009. Over the past 15 years, she has worked in clinics, triage, and schools, always focused on supporting patients and their families. But her biggest shift came when she was diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type, as an adult. After years of treatment for anxiety and depression, that diagnosis changed everything—suddenly, so many struggles made sense.Now, Cat can clearly see how neurodivergence has shaped her personal life and her nursing career. She understands the exhaustion of masking, the overwhelm of trying to “do it all,” and the frustration of feeling out of step in a system that wasn't built for her brain. She is here to help other neurodivergent healthcare heroes stop doubting themselves and start building careers that actually work for them with clarity, confidence, and compassion.Connect with Cat Here: https://www.instagram.com/_yournursebff/www.linkedin.com/in/cat-conchashttps://www.facebook.com/cat.conchashttps://www.mdclifeandhealth.com/Grab the freebie here:https://www.mdclifeandhealth.com/Click on "Hell yeah, that's me!"===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

On Sunday, the television drama "The Pitt," about emergency room healthcare workers at a hospital in Pittsburgh, cleaned up at the Emmys with several major wins. Listeners who work in the healthcare profession call in to share what the series meant to them and how accurately it depicted post-COVID healthcare.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions on suidcide.  In this episode, The Gritty Nurse, Amie Archibald-Varley discusses the tragic story of Roseanne, a nurse who died by suicide, highlighting critical issues in mental health staffing, accountability in healthcare, and the need for systemic change. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing warning signs of suicide and supporting colleagues in the nursing profession. Through personal anecdotes and advocacy for better mental health care, the episode calls for a shift in how the healthcare system addresses these pressing issues. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in North America for 24/7, free, and confidential support, or dial 911 for life-threatening emergencies. You can also find local resources through the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) or the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and don't hesitate to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or doctor for help.  https://988.ca/ (Canada) https://988lifeline.org/ (USA)  Chapters 00:00 Intro and Amie's Story 07:35 Critical Issues in Mental Health In Healthcare  17:25 Rosanne's Story: Accountability in Healthcare: Who is Responsible?  23:04 Vital Signs: Changing the Narrative on Mental Health 39:03 A Call to Action: Resources and Support for Nurses Takeaways The story of a nurse's suicide highlights systemic failures. Understaffing in mental health units is a critical issue. Nurses should never work alone in high-risk situations. Violence against nurses is often normalized and overlooked. Accountability in healthcare organizations is lacking. Mental health care must prioritize safety and support for nurses. Suicide prevention requires a cultural shift in healthcare. Vulnerability among healthcare providers can foster connection. Recognizing warning signs of suicide is essential for support. The 988 hotline is a vital resource for those in crisis.
