Health systems spend billions on transformation that works in the boardroom and collapses at the clinical unit. Dr. Sarah Matt, a surgeon turned health technology executive, explains why most AI and virtual care initiatives fail at adoption rather than design, and how her Five Pillars of Access give leaders a practical way to evaluate what will actually scale. A direct conversation about trust, financial sustainability, and building care models that stick.

Healthcare leaders know the pattern. Warning signs appear. Evidence accumulates. Institutions hesitate. And by the time action is taken, the cost, human and financial, is already enormous. Right now, that pattern is playing out across AI deployment, eroding public trust, and simultaneously weakening fragile health systems. In this episode of Digital Health Talks, physician-scientist and biostatistician Dr. Barry R. Davis brings a framework health leaders can actually use. Drawing on decades leading landmark prevention trials and his new book The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries That Changed Our World (Johns Hopkins University Press, May 2026), Dr. Davis breaks down why evidence alone rarely drives action, what trust has to do with it, and what the leaders who successfully broke the cycle actually did differently. If you are responsible for AI governance, patient trust, or building a prevention-first culture inside your health system, this conversation is for you.

Right now the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda are responding to an Ebola outbreak caused by Bundibugyo virus, a strain with no licensed vaccine and no approved treatment. WHO declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on May 17. Dr. Ashish Jha calls it one of the largest Ebola outbreaks on record and believes it spread largely undetected for two to three months before anyone caught it, with confirmed cases turning up hundreds of miles apart. That detection lag lands squarely on hospital leaders. As Dr. Jha puts it, a two week head start on an outbreak headed for your emergency room is the difference between adjusting staffing and guidance in advance and scrambling after patients arrive. His new company, BioRadar, is building what he describes as the biosurveillance system the country needs, something closer to a National Weather Service for biological threats. Dr. Ashish Jha, former White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator, joins Megan Antonelli to connect early detection to the cost and quality levers health system leaders pull every day. The take-home is simple and underused: prevention is not only good medicine, but it is also one of the strongest cost-control strategies in healthcare. Highlights

In this candid conversation, I sit down with our newest clinician, Rachel Sanger, to talk about a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention: the physical, emotional, and metabolic toll of singleness.Rachel shares her personal health journey, what it was like navigating corporate life while living alone, and the moment she realized something had to change.

It's a conversation about nervous system load, blood sugar, cholesterol, anxiety, exhaustion, loneliness, and what happens when life feels like it's all resting on your shoulders.We also talk about why traditional health advice often misses the reality of single women, how stress shows up physically in the body, and why finding practical solutions that fit real life matters.If you've ever felt like you're carrying the entire weight of your life by yourself, this episode is for you.In this episode, we discuss:The hidden health challenges single women faceWhy independence can become exhaustingThe connection between chronic stress, blood sugar, and cholesterolLiving alone and the impact on daily health habitsAnxiety, sleep struggles, and future-focused stressCorporate burnout and health declineWhy personalized support mattersHow Rachel helps clients build realistic health habits that workWhether you've been single for years, recently experienced a major life transition, or simply feel like you're carrying too much on your own, this conversation will help you feel seen and supported.SERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:Hormone BootcampAdventurerSubstackCoffee Cafe How to Fix Your Energy Cravings and MoodFirst Steps ClinicBeholdWork With Dr. DanielleFoundational PackageComprehensive PackageAmazon StorefrontFREE RESOURCES:Telegram - The Wilderness CafeDr. Danielle's Root Cause Reset Guide

For the nearly one million Americans living with Parkinson's disease, the space between neurology appointments can feel like a void — symptoms shift, medications need adjusting, and urgent questions pile up with nowhere to turn. That gap in continuous care is exactly the problem Rune Labs set out to solve. With its StrivePD app, Rune Labs has built a platform powered by FDA-cleared movement analysis and one of the largest real-world Parkinson's datasets in existence. Now, the company is going further — launching an AI caregiver directly inside the app: a coordinated system of specialized AI agents, including a Medication Assistant, Symptom Expert, and PD Coach, that deliver personalized, evidence-based guidance based on each patient's own real-time data. In this episode of Digital Health Talks, host Megan Antonelli sits down with Amy Gordon Franzen, the new CEO of Rune Labs, to explore how the company is redefining what it means to support patients not just in the clinic, but every moment of every day. From the science behind the platform to the policy, trust, and ethical questions that come with deploying AI in a chronic disease setting, this is a conversation about what the future of neurological care can actually look like — and who gets to shape it.

Professor Michaela Lucas, an Immunologist and Immunopathologist researching the health impacts of plastics, joins me to explore what microplastics and plastic-associated chemicals may be doing inside our bodies. We discuss how compounds like bisphenols and phthalates can act like hormone-mimicking molecules, the evidence linking plastic exposure to developmental and fertility concerns, and why some estimates of microplastics in the body may have been overstated. Professor Lucas also shares insights from her ongoing study in Perth examining how everyday exposures, particularly ultra-processed foods packaged in plastic, may contribute to microplastics in the body.

Mindfulness isn't a “nice-to-have”; it's a low-cost public health lever that changes how people handle pain, emotions, and community life. In this episode, Brother Phap Luu, a monk in the Plum Village tradition founded by Thich Nhat Hanh, discusses how mindfulness can be practiced as “everyday meditation” through breathing, walking, eating, and even cultivating awareness of dreams. He shares his personal journey from activism and disillusionment to depression, and then to healing through mindful breathing and finding community at Plum Village. Brother Phap Luu explores the roots and global reach of Plum Village, why mindfulness naturally fosters compassion, and how “watering” emotions like anger through rumination can prolong suffering. He also unpacks mindfulness as an “invitation,” the challenge of scaling it, through training, ethics, trauma sensitivity, and limited profit incentives, and its potential integration into schools of public health and policy. Tune in and learn how mindful breathing, community practice, and compassion can become practical tools for healthier lives and societies!

But can you make enough of it to be useful is always the question. And so my research has always been focused on, well, let's make enough of it so that someone can do something with it. So I actually then. Took that, and that's when the first project that Alec and I worked on here at Rice Together was how we can mass produce the material. That's actually now the fundamental part of our technology. So I've always been wanting to build stuff. I love making reactors. My job in the lab is I've made about five different reactors in the last two weeks. It's been fantastic. But kind of just this whole thing of how can we take this technology that I know can do so much? How can we make it big enough and fast enough that it can make it real impact in people's lives? And it just so happened that the hammer fit the nail that this stuff is really good at dealing with BFOS.The Forever in “forever” chemicals01:39: [Jeremy Daum] So PFAS, or Forever Chemicals, they are a type of microplastic, though. They are more like your Teflon stuff that you use every day, stuff that your grandparents have been using since like the forties. They're incredibly robust. They're hydrophobic. They are chemically resistant. They're great in places that you need something to just not wear away, but when you use those kind of products and you throw them out, that plastic, that Teflon doesn't go away. It goes into landfills, and then it gets into the environment. And that's what makes it so insidious, because the reason why they're called forever chemicals is because they have a half-life of about 40,000 years. So anything we made back in the forties is still going around today. Understanding the history of the problem23:09: [Alec Ajnsztajn]  I consider myself to be a polymer scientist in the forties and fifties, we spent a lot of fun time doing a lot of fun chemistry, and didn't really think through how a lot of that chemistry wound up Show Links:Lilie Lab | RiceOffice of Innovation | RiceRice AlumniAssociation of Rice Alumni | FacebookRice Alumni (@ricealumni) | X (Twitter)Association of Rice Alumni (@ricealumni) | Instagram Host Profiles:David Mansouri | LinkedInDavid Mansouri '07 | Alumni | Rice UniversityDavid Mansouri (@davemansouri) | XDavid Mansouri | TNScoreGuest Profiles:Coflux PurificationAlec Ajnsztajn | Rice ProfileAlec Ajnsztajn | LinkedIn ProfileAlec Ajnsztajn | Google Scholar PageJeremy Daum | LinkedIn ProfileJeremy Daum | Google Scholar Page

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into one of the most emotionally exhausting realities of modern policing — the weight of constant public scrutiny. From viral videos to media narratives, today's officers live under a microscope where every move, every word, and every split-second decision can be judged, dissected, or weaponized online (Amazon Affiliate). This level of exposure doesn't just change how officers do their jobs — it fundamentally alters how they see themselves, their community, and their sense of worth. We unpack the psychological cost of this relentless pressure and explore what officers, departments, and families can do to protect mental health in an era where perception often overshadows truth.

What if the symptoms you've been dismissing for years are actually your body's SOS signal?In this episode, I sit down with Anna Pinnock, a registered nutritional therapist who helps people heal autoimmune diseases, thyroid conditions, and chronic health issues by getting to the root cause. Anna's own healing journey began with a Hashimoto's diagnosis in her early twenties—followed by years of fatigue, bloating, hair loss, and doctors telling her “everything looks normal.”Her story is one of deep self-discovery, functional nutrition, trauma healing, and the realization that food, stress, and the nervous system play a far bigger role in autoimmune conditions than most of us realize.We explore how stress suppresses thyroid function, how gut inflammation drives autoimmune flares, why complex carbohydrates triggered years of unresolved symptoms, and how changing her diet transformed her life—and eventually guided her into the world of nutritional therapy.Listen to the full episode to learn how to support your thyroid, heal your gut, and take back control of your energy and health.Topics Covered:Anna's 15-year journey with Hashimoto's diseaseWhy so many thyroid symptoms get dismissed as “normal”How stress and trauma suppress thyroid functionThe link between cortisol, metabolism, and chronic fatigueThe Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD): how it works and who it helpsGut inflammation, malabsorption, and persistent bloatingWhy dietary healing must be paired with stress regulationHow to reintroduce foods after an elimination protocolWhy one-size-fits-all diets don't workFunctional testing and the power of individualized nutritionBecoming open-minded in healing and alternative modalitiesThe 4 pillars everyone with autoimmunity must addressListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Summary This podcast episode from the Boss Surgery Series features Dr. Amy Vertries interviewing Dr. Sarah Rasmussen, a pediatric transplant surgeon, about her experience of being in the wrong job and navigating a career transition. Dr. Rasmussen shares her journey from working at the University of Virginia (UVA) to Seattle Children's Hospital and then to a new position that better aligned with her career goals and values. Dr. Rasmussen begins by describing her background as a Gen-Xer born in West Virginia who initially planned to practice medicine with her father. She pursued an MD-PhD program at WVU in 1997, focusing on HIV research at the National Cancer Institute. During her medical training, she discovered her passion for surgery during rotations and completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University followed by a pediatric surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins. She then worked at UVA from 2011 to 2020, where she established a pediatric liver transplant program in partnership with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Dr. Rasmussen explains that leadership changes at UVA led to her role being reduced from performing 42 liver transplants annually to being limited to only pediatric cases (about 5 per year). This significant reduction in surgical volume prompted her to accept a position at Seattle Children's Hospital as the surgical director of pediatric liver transplant, which she accepted just before the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020. At Seattle Children's, Dr. Rasmussen encountered challenges that made her realize she was in the wrong job. Despite the hospital performing more transplants (13-15 liver transplants and 30 kidney transplants annually), she faced issues with case allocation, micromanagement of her decisions, and resistance to her suggestions for improving processes. After 18 months, she compiled data showing her limited involvement in transplant cases and presented it to leadership, hoping for change. Instead, this led to increased scrutiny of her abilities. Dr. Rasmussen describes how the job stress affected her health, causing panic attacks, chest pain, and dangerously high blood pressure. With support from her family and through Dr. Vertries' coaching program, she decided to explore other opportunities. She interviewed at four institutions and found a position with a partner who shared her vision and valued her contributions. In her new role, Dr. Rasmussen found a supportive environment where her partner encourages her growth, helps her through complications, and values her strengths. She shares how her new partner supported her through a surgical complication by not letting her isolate herself and helping her move past self-doubt. He also encourages her to take on challenging cases, such as performing laparoscopic procedures on very small infants. The conversation concludes with reflections on the importance of finding the right job fit, the impact of career decisions on family, and how having the right partner can make a significant difference in professional growth and satisfaction. Chapters Dr. Rasmussen's Background and Early Career Path ‎ 00:02:12 Dr. Sarah Rasmussen introduces herself as a Gen-Xer born in West Virginia. She initially planned to practice medicine with her father but became interested in research during medical school. She joined an MD-PhD program at WVU in 1997, focusing on HIV research at the National Cancer Institute. During her clinical rotations, she discovered her passion for surgery, which engaged "all parts of her brain." She completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University and a pediatric surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins. From 2011 to 2020, she worked at the University of Virginia (UVA) as an assistant professor, where she also completed an additional fellowship in abdominal transplant surgery. At UVA, she was active in research, clinical work, teaching, and helped establish a pediatric liver transplant program in partnership with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Transition to Seattle Children's Hospital During the Pandemic ‎ 00:05:21 Dr. Rasmussen explains that leadership changes at UVA led to her role being reduced from performing 42 liver transplants annually to being limited to only pediatric cases (about 5 per year). This significant reduction prompted her to accept a position as surgical director of pediatric liver transplant at Seattle Children's Hospital. She signed her offer letter just before the COVID-19 pandemic began, making the transition particularly challenging as it occurred during social distancing measures. Dr. Rasmussen was attracted to Seattle Children's because they performed more transplants (13-15 liver transplants and 30 kidney transplants annually), and she believed she would have a good working relationship with the program head who had similar training. Challenges at Seattle Children's Hospital ‎ 00:09:27 Dr. Rasmussen describes her initial positive reception at Seattle Children's but quickly noticed concerning dynamics between surgeons during her observation of a liver-kidney transplant on her second day. Despite her efforts to integrate into the team, she faced significant challenges: her clinical decisions were micromanaged, her requests for time off were complicated by "unwritten rules," and she was often excluded from transplant cases because "fellows needed the experience." After 12 months, she realized that her situation wasn't improving despite her efforts to be helpful and engaged. After 18 months, she compiled data showing her limited involvement in transplant cases (only 20% of livers and 15% of kidneys despite being on call 33% of the time) and presented it to leadership, hoping for change. Instead of addressing her concerns, this led to increased scrutiny of her abilities. Recognizing the Need for Change ‎ 00:16:45 Dr. Rasmussen sought advice from colleagues but was consistently told that the situation "would never change." She realized that her vision of being a pediatric liver transplant surgeon required meaningful involvement in cases, which wasn't happening at Seattle. In January 2021, she learned of four potential job openings in her field. Initially resistant to moving her family again so soon after relocating during the pandemic, she joined Dr. Vertries' "difficult partner course" hoping to learn how to succeed in her current position. Through the course, she gave herself permission to explore other opportunities and interviewed at all four institutions. Two positions seemed promising, with one standing out immediately because of her connection with the potential new boss. Health Impact and Decision to Leave ‎ 00:25:56 Dr. Rasmussen describes how the job stress severely affected her health, causing panic attacks manifesting as chest pain and dangerously high blood pressure (190/110 with a heart rate of 197). One night after seeing the clinic and call schedule, she couldn't calm down despite trying mindfulness techniques. Her husband witnessed this and declared, "We are done here." Additional factors influencing her decision included the death of a mentor and her mother's illness. Dr. Rasmussen realized that despite her efforts, the team at Seattle Children's was unwilling to accommodate her career needs, which she viewed as a "breach of contract" - not from the institution but from the team that should invest in its members. Family Considerations in Career Decisions ‎ 00:28:55 Dr. Rasmussen discusses the challenge of considering another move so soon after relocating her family during the pandemic. She worried about uprooting her children who had just established connections in Seattle. A turning point came when her oldest child told her, "Mom, I think it's time for you to worry about yourself. I'm going to be okay." For her job interviews, she took the unusual step of requesting that both potential employers bring her entire family for second visits, not just her spouse. She received advice that "how happy do you think your family can be if mom is not happy?" and realized that many children move multiple times during childhood without negative consequences. She also learned that her oldest child had been bullied at their previous school, reinforcing that staying in Virginia might not have been better for her family. Finding the Right Partner and Environment ‎ 00:47:08 Dr. Rasmussen describes how she connected with her new boss by cold-calling him about a position at his former institution and inquiring if he needed a partner in his new program. Their initial conversation revealed shared vision and energy for building a program. Unlike her experience in Seattle, her new boss explicitly stated, "You tell me what you need out of a case, and that's what will happen," emphasizing team function over hierarchy. She contrasts this with her previous experience, noting the difference between a hierarchical environment and one with a shared vision. When she experienced a serious complication in her first liver transplant at the new institution, her partner provided support without judgment, wouldn't let her isolate herself, and eventually told her "it's time to stop" ruminating, while acknowledging that such complications happen to everyone. Growth and Support in the New Position ‎ 00:54:01 Dr. Rasmussen shares how her new environment supports her growth through challenging cases. During her first on-call experience, she consulted on a 1.6-kilogram baby with duodenal atresia. Though initially planning an open procedure, she researched laparoscopic approaches and found evidence supporting minimally invasive surgery for this condition. When she proposed this to her boss, he gave no pushback and even came to observe the successful procedure. Three months later, when she hesitated about performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on an eight-week-old baby, her boss reminded her, "Three months ago, you did a lap duodenal atresia repair on a 1.6 kilo baby - get over it," encouraging her to trust her abilities. Dr. Rasmussen appreciates how her partner recognizes when her tendency to overthink is a strength (when writing policies or justifications) and when it's holding her back. Reflections on Career Transitions and Lessons Learned ‎ 01:00:00 Dr. Rasmussen and Dr. Vertries reflect on the lessons learned through this career journey. Dr. Rasmussen acknowledges how she overcame limiting beliefs such as "I can't move because it will hurt my family" and "I can't have an ideal partner." Dr. Vertries notes that Dr. Rasmussen has experienced a "hero's journey" and that her lessons will have an "exponential effect on other people." Dr. Rasmussen expresses gratitude for the opportunity to reflect on how far she's come in a relatively short time, demonstrating that "you can make some pretty life-altering things in a short period of time with a little bit of help." Action Items Dr. Vertries mentioned reaching out to her at bosssurgery.com for help with toxic job situations. ‎ 00:00:35 Dr. Rasmussen suggested asking detailed questions about job expectations and case allocation when interviewing for new positions. ‎ 00:13:54 Dr. Rasmussen recommended bringing family members on second job interviews when considering relocation. ‎ 00:29:58 Dr. Rasmussen advised seeking coaching before leaving a job to process the situation properly. ‎ 00:42:17 Dr. Rasmussen suggested researching evidence-based approaches to surgical techniques when considering new procedures. ‎ 00:55:57

In BC, most gas is extracted through fracking, a process that has been shown to have major health impacts on local communities. Health professionals and First Nations leaders are calling on provincial and federal governments to fund an independent health impact assessment of fracking and LNG before approving any more projects. We speak with Dr. Bethany Ricker, a family physician in Nanaimo.

Send us a textA near-drowning in the Norwegian fjords set a family on a path that would change how the world learns to save lives. We sit down with Jon Laerdal, Chief Product Officer at Laerdal Medical, to explore the unlikely journey from toy design to Resusci Anne, from classroom CPR to on‑the‑unit practice that measurably improves survival.Jon pulls back the curtain on how evidence and guidelines have shaped Laerdal's resuscitation portfolio and why RQI—Resuscitation Quality Improvement—now embedded in 3,000 U.S. hospitals, is redefining competency with low‑dose, high‑frequency training. We dive into the Safer Births program in Tanzania, co‑created with the American Academy of Pediatrics and Jhpiego, where frequent, team‑based simulations on the ward correlate with dramatic reductions in newborn and maternal deaths. The thread through it all is a simple, rigorous idea: put practice where care happens, make it frequent, and let data guide improvement.We also talk about the tech landscape without the hype. VR and mixed reality bring decision‑making into virtual and blended spaces, while AI lightens scenario design and powers more responsive debriefs. But the payoff comes when these tools join a circular learning model—reading, skills, simulation, team training, and clinical practice—connected by actionable insights. That is where simulation evolves from a one‑off event to a quality improvement engine that exposes latent safety threats and closes the gap between training and therapy.If more than half of global deaths stem from time‑critical emergencies, preparing responders everywhere is not optional; it's urgent. Jon shares Laerdal's goal to help save one million more lives by 2030 and offers concrete steps educators and leaders can take to build cultures of practice that stick.

When you think about health, you probably picture food and exercise. But the truth is, health is shaped far more by social determinants of health—the conditions in which we live, learn, work, and connect. In this episode we break down what social determinants of health really are, why they matter, and how they can shape your wellbeing just as much (or more) than diet and exercise. By understanding the social determinants of health, you can drop the shame, find more compassion, and focus on the areas of wellness that truly support your life. You'll learn: What social determinants of health mean and why they're often overlooked in wellness culture The surprising impact of your zip code and neighborhood on life expectancy How education and income level are tied to long-term health outcomes The role of community and social support in reducing risk of early death Why chronic stress and financial wellbeing can affect every organ system How sleep, creativity, volunteering, and career satisfaction improve wellbeing beyond the gym or kitchen What NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) means and why everyday movement matters If you've ever felt pressured to “eat perfectly” or “work out more” to be healthy, this episode will help you zoom out. You'll see how whole-person wellbeing is shaped by environment, relationships, and access—not just personal choices.    Wellness: Rebranded is turning 3 years old!

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Sharla Aronson, a friend and biologic dentist who's been opening my eyes to how connected our oral health is to everything else going on in our bodies. We're diving into some topics you probably weren't expecting from a dental conversation - like how sleep apnea and breathing issues can lead to serious health problems (my mom just had a stroke from this), why those metal fillings might be worth removing, and what root canals could be doing to your sinuses. Sharla breaks down why she looks at the mouth as the start of your gut, how tongue ties and narrow jaws affect way more than just your teeth, and why kids (and adults!) might need expanders to breathe better at night. We're also talking about ditching the Listerine, finding better toothpaste options, and why biologic dentistry is so different from what most of us grew up with. If you've been dealing with chronic health issues and no one's asked about your breathing or your dental history, this conversation is for you.

Did you know that high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener found in everything from soda to salad dressing, has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and inflammation? In this episode, I explore a surprising claim by Donald Trump that Coca Cola may switch from high fructose corn syrup to cane sugar—and use this as a springboard to explore the health concerns around high fructose corn syrup. I break down what it is, why it's used so widely in processed foods, and the many health risks it poses, from obesity and diabetes to inflammation and high blood pressure. I even share a patient story that highlights its real-life impact. While cane sugar isn't a healthy food either, it may have fewer metabolic downsides. Regardless of whether Coca Cola makes the switch, I emphasize the power we have to read labels, reduce added sugar, choose more whole foods, and make smarter decisions for our health. Tune in to learn how cutting back on hidden sugars like high fructose corn syrup can transform your health and energy!   Episode Highlights: Trump's claim about Coca Cola switching to cane sugar What high fructose corn syrup is and why it's widely used Health risks linked to high fructose corn syrup Real-life patient story on soda and high blood pressure Differences between cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup Practical tips for reducing added sugar in your diet Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.
