Podcasts about Hepatitis B

On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks withYou are smarter than you know - Dr. Angus Fletcher talks about Primal Intelligence, and then Dr. Derek Jantz from Tune Therapeutics explains how they aim to "tune" DNA - not just with human DNA, but stopping the Hepatitis B virus in its tracks.BTN Title: Tuning DNA, and Tuning Out Hepatitis BDr Derek Jantz, the Chief Scientific Officer of Tune Therapeutics, explains their approach, now in advanced clinical trials for Hepatitis B.

In this gripping Halloween episode marking the second anniversary of We Want Them Infected, hosts Dr. Jonathan Howard and Dr. Wendy Orange confront the chilling reality of America under "Trump II." They dissect the collapse of public health, the weaponization of medicine, and the transformation of science into "Trump-Based Medicine"—a term Jonathan coins to describe physicians parroting political dogma over data.   The duo highlights interviews and statements by Vinay Prasad, Marty Makary, Jay Bhattacharya, and Martin Kulldorff, who now echo President Trump's pseudoscientific vaccine directives—like splitting the MMR shot and delaying Hepatitis B vaccines. They warn that this alignment with anti-vaccine figures such as RFK Jr. and Andrew Wakefield marks a dangerous regression that could undo decades of medical progress.   They also expose turmoil within the FDA, where Prasad's leadership has allegedly created a culture of fear, and discuss the growing exodus of scientists from federal health agencies. From declining measles vaccination rates to government loyalty tests, Howard and Orange paint a harrowing portrait of a nation sliding into scientific authoritarianism.   The episode closes with their sobering realization: despite years of warning, even they underestimated how dark things could get.         Connect with us further on https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/author/jonathanhoward/  The Fine Print The content presented in the "We Want Them Infected" Podcast and associated book is intended for informational and educational purposes only.    The views and opinions expressed by the speakers, hosts, and guests on the podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the creators, producers, or distributors.

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdjEezCeTe/With all the confusion and lack of credible information coming from the usual public health channels, I want to arm all you parents and grandparents with the latest immunization recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics.  These guidelines are all based on the latest scientific information which demonstrates that these vaccines are safe and very, very effective at preventing and/or minimizing the effects of sometimes deadly childhood diseases. Now let's review, by months and years, the AAP immunization blueprint. At Birth: The RSV protective antibody nirsevimab up to 6 mos if mom not vaccinated in pregnancy up to 6 mos; 1st dose of Hepatitis B vax. 1 month: Hep B, 2nd dose, to 2 mo.2 months: Rotavirus- RV1 Vax, 2 doses; RV5 Vax, 3 doses, 1st dose; DTaP (Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis); Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b); Pneumococcal; Inactivated Poliovirus4 months: RV1, RV5, 2nd dose; DTaP, Hib, Pneumococcal, Inact Poliovirus, 2nd doses6 months: Hep B, 3rd dose to 18 mo; RV5, 3rd dose; DTaP, 3rd dose; Hib, 3rd dose to 12 mo; Pneumococcal, 3rd dose; Inact Poliovirus, 3rd dose to 18 mo; CoVid, 1 or more doses to 18 yrs; Influenza, 1-2 doses/yr to 6 yrs12 months: Hib, 3rd or 4th dose to 15 mo; Pneumococcal, 4th dose To 15 mo; MMR; Varicella; Hepatitis A, 3 dose series, to 23 mo15 months: DTaP, 4th dose to 18 mo4-6 yrs: DTaP, 5th dose; Inact Poliovirus, 4th dose; MMR, 2nd dose; Varicella, 2nd dose7-10 yrs: HPV, 2 dose series to 12 yrs11-12 yrs: DTap, 6th dose; Meningococcal, 1st dose of 2, second at l6 yrsThese are the vaccines that every child should receive beginning at birth and extending over the first 18 years of life. Look at this as a scorecard for you to follow along with your pediatric team. These days, so many of our families are so mobile, vaccination records may be scattered and not up to date in any single medical record, electronic or otherwise. Your own checklist, either on paper or digital, should be the most complete.I have posted the American Academy of Pediatrics summary chart of all pediatric immunizations on my website at drhowardsmith.com/pediatric-immunizations-2025-6.Summary chart: https://www.drhowardsmith.com/pediatric-immunizations-2025-6AAP guidelines: https://tinyurl.com/467f5c9b#pediatrics #immunizations #vaccines #aap

One of the first decisions you will make as a new parent is whether to vaccinate your newborn against hepatitis B. The first dose of this vaccine is recommended within 24 hours of birth, and most babies receive it before leaving the hospital. Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that affects your liver. It can become chronic and, over time, lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, or cancer. Although the vaccine is effective, many parents have questions about safety, the timing of administration, and whether it is truly necessary for newborns. You have multiple options, including choosing to vaccinate, delay, or decline. This episode explores the evidence on the risks and benefits so you can make an informed decision and feel confident in your choices as a parent.

One in 4 people is infected with this silent killer disease that's deadlier than the plague. You may even have this infection! Find out about this deadly microbial threat and how to stay healthy so you don't become the next victim. 0:00 Introduction: Infectious disease deadlier than the plague 1:30 Latent infections 2:59 Tuberculosis facts 4:39 Tuberculosis and vitamin D7:38 Immune system function8:20 Sun exposure and infrared rays Many people are infected with a disease that's worse than the plague! The plague killed 200 million people, and in total, this bacterium has killed 1 billion! It's the world's deadliest infectious disease and kills more people than HIV and malaria combined. It kills around 1.3 million people each year, yet you don't hear much about it. Latent infections such as herpes, EBV, CMV, HPV, and Hepatitis B and C are able to go in and out of remission. Today, we're going to talk about the pathogen that gives you tuberculosis.Tuberculosis (TB) doesn't evade the immune system, it invades it. TB hides inside the macrophage, which is responsible for cleaning up bacteria and infections in the body. TB affects more people in the northern hemisphere away from the equator, and its incidence increases in the winter. Older people or those with type 2 diabetes, HIV, or low vitamin D are at an increased risk of an active TB infection. TB blocks the vitamin D receptor, which lowers your immune function. There was an uptick in TB outbreaks in the 80s when sun phobia was promoted. This campaign significantly reduced vitamin D levels by reducing sun exposure. Before the development of antibiotics, people with tuberculosis would go to sanatoriums for fresh air and sunlight exposure. Cod liver oil was also shown to be beneficial for people with tuberculosis infections.The immune system destroys TB with a compound called cathelicidin, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that depends on vitamin D. Not only is the sun vital for vitamin D production, but it also exposes you to infrared light. Infrared reverses mitochondrial damage and can increase vitamin D signaling, further protecting you from a TB infection.

Michelle Spencer, RN & Informed Consent Working as a nurse helping mothers and their newborns, Michelle noticed that after mothers started getting the COVID-19 injection they labeled as a "vaccine", that the hospital where she worked went from having 4 stillbirth babies per year to 4 per week! The hospital wasn't looking into this or doing anything to stop the record numbers.   After learning about the toxic aluminum levels in the Hepatitis B vaccine they told her to give newborns, she started talking to parents about the low risk and possible adverse reactions. Her goal is to make parents aware of the risks before they make decisions. We've been trained to trust medical personnel, but we need to question everything so we can make informed decisions for our own health and the health of our children. You can learn more or tell your own vaccine injury story with the links below.

Send us a textCancer is the second leading cause of death, and while it sparks fear for good reason, 40% of cases are preventable. In this episode, I outline six practical, evidence-based steps that can help reduce your risk.We begin by understanding which cancers are most common based on gender—breast, colon, and lung in women; prostate, colon, and lung in men. While some rare cancers (like pancreatic or ovarian) evoke greater fear, the focus here is on the ones we're more likely to face and can meaningfully act on.Next, I break down risk factors into two categories. Some are unavoidable—your sex, age, or family history. For example, if a close relative had breast or colon cancer, early screening or genetic testing may be warranted. However, only about 5–10% of cancers are directly linked to inherited genetic mutations (American Cancer Society).The more empowering list? Avoidable risk factors—where our actions matter most. Smoking remains the leading modifiable cause of cancer, responsible for about 19% of all cases. Excess weight and obesity account for another 8% and are especially tied to hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic and ovarian (ScienceDirect) and PubMed). Visceral fat appears more predictive than BMI alone. Alcohol, especially in large quantities, is also linked to liver, GI, and breast cancers.Some risks are cancer-specific. HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers, and melanoma is largely driven by UV exposure. Air pollution, especially particulate matter, may slightly increase lung cancer risk (ASCO Global Oncology).Step three is to act on what you can. Quit smoking, aim for a healthy weight, wear sun protection, and ensure your kids get their routine HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. Exercise plays a major role too—high activity levels correlate with 10–20% lower risk of several major cancers (JAMA). In colon cancer survivors, regular exercise reduced recurrence by 30% (PubMed).Step four is awareness: don't ignore new symptoms like unexplained bleeding or lumps. Early detection can be life-saving.Step five is screening. If you're 45 or older, colonoscopy is now recommended. Women should get regular mammograms and PAP smears, and individuals with smoking history may benefit from lung CT scans. For rarer cancers with family history, targeted screenings may apply. I also address why whole-body MRIs and liquid biopsies aren't ready for routine use.Step six? Don't put your hope in supplements. Large trials show omega-3s, vitamin D, beta carotene, and vitamin C offer no real protective benefit (NEJM VITAL Study, Meta-analysis on Vitamin C, JNCI on aspirin).Takeaways: You can reduce your cancer risk by modifying lifestyle factors like smoking, weight, and activity. Don't delay screenings—they catch cancers early when treatment is most effective. And remember: no supplement replaces proven preventive strategies.Visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com for more evidence-based tools, and listen to the full episode for actionable steps to help you live long and well.

Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), covers the the biggest news in the health and wellness space from a holistic, naturopath perspective. First, Dr. Jack starts off with  the discussion on vaccines in Congress, especially the Hepatitis B vaccine — including the actual risks and actual benefits about which we're not typically told. There is a misconception on the stance of RFK Jr., and whether or not he is an “anti-vaxxer,” even thought he himself has been vaccinated and all but one of his children have been vaccinated. He's never once said he is against vaccines. RFK Jr.'s position is for safety studies. Circling back to the Hepatitis B vaccine, Dr. Jack shares that most newborns get the Hepatitis B vaccine on the day they're born. Hepatitis B is spread by dirty/shared needles, multiple sex partners, and other immunosuppressive behavior — with which most newborn babies are not involved. While the Hepatitis B vaccine has reduced acute cases in high-risk demographics, there is no evidence it's done the same thing with newborns. Safety concerns marring the Hepatitis B vaccine directs the fact that the one-size-fits all medical approach doesn't exist. Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to discuss listener questions. Together, the gentlemen discuss the body's need for protein and the best way to get protein. Recently, pasta-makers have been adding protein to their noodle products to help those get the vital nutrient if they aren't eating meats to get their protein. As Dr. Jack always states, the best approach to essential nutrients is to consume it the way Mother Nature intended us to eat. Next, Doug addresses his hearing issues, and the quality of his hearing has gone down ever since a bug got stuck in his ear. Many people will easily accept a need to wear glasses, yet most will put off using hearing aids. Why is that. Doug and Dr. Jack dive in. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this week's episode, I dive into the latest autism research and the new recommendations recently presented by U.S. health authorities alongside Kennedy and Trump. We cover the risks linked to paracetamol, early Hepatitis B vaccination, and the importance of spacing out vaccine doses. I also explore promising new treatment paths with leucovorin and suramin — what the studies show so far, which children may benefit, and why we should remain both cautious and optimistic.

In this episode of The Health Advocates, we unpack a turbulent week in public health. The CDC’s Vaccine Advisory Committee (ACIP), now reshaped under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., met to debate changes to the COVID-19, MMRV, and Hepatitis B vaccine recommendations. Despite heated rhetoric and process irregularities, the committee ultimately kept broad access to COVID-19 vaccines — a short-term win for patients and a reminder that advocacy pressure works.We also break down President Trump’s recent claims linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism, and his renewed suggestion of a connection between vaccines and autism. We review what the science actually shows, what public health experts are warning about, and what patients and families should know moving forward.Tune in for clarity on a confusing week — and why these debates matter for access, trust, and the future of public health.

An advisory committee for the Centers for Disease Control made changes to vaccine recommendations in a meeting last week that was described in media reports as tense and chaotic. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP changed advice on COVID vaccines to a "shared decision-making model." It also changed its recommendation regarding the combined childhood vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella or chicken pox (MMRV). The committee recommended that children under 4 not be given the MMRV vaccine and instead recommended an MMR vaccine and a separate shot for varicella (chicken pox). The committee tabled a decision on whether to delay the birth dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. To begin Wednesday's “Sound of Ideas,” we're going to talk about the recommendations coming out of the ACIP meeting and what those recommendations mean for those seeking COVID-19 or the MMRV vaccine. Later, Brian Katulis, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute joins the program to talk about the Trump administration's foreign policy in that region. 

Watu wengi wanapokaribia kufunga ndoa,hujukumika kufanya vipimo vya virusi vya HIV .Wengi hufanya kipimo hicho si kwa sababu wanajua umuhimu wake bali ni kwa sababu ya ulazima kabla kufunga harusi haswa za Kikristo. Hata hivyo watalaam wa afya wanasema kuna vipimo tele ambavyo ni muhimu pia na vinahitajika kufanywa kabla ndoa. Mwanasaikolojia Naomi Ngugi  anasema kando na kipimo cha HIV,kuna  kipimo cha Rhesus Factor ambayo kama mtu na mwenzake hana ufahamu ,wanaweza kupata shida ya kuharibika mimba. Kuna pia kipimo cha  Genotype  kubaini uwepo wa ugonjwa kama  Selimundu ,Hepatitis B,  Hepatitis C au homa ya ini,vipimo vya  Magonjwa sugu, Magonjwa ya akili na Vipimo vya uzazi kubaini ubora wa mbegu za kiume na matatizo ya  mirija kuziba upande wa wanawake.   Vipimo hivyo vinaweza kugharimu ndoa iwapo wanandoa hawataweka wazi.

There's a flurry of health news happening these days: Decisions and announcements being made at federal agencies. State governments vowing to fight changes. It can be hard to know what the impacts will be at the ground level. We're going to set aside some time every now and then to check in with doctors and medical professionals about the latest developments -- and what they mean for you. In this segment, we're digging into the latest news on childhood vaccinations: Last week, a vaccine panel formed by Health and Human Services head Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met to discuss policy regarding measles, Covid-19 and Hepatitis B. There were a variety of actions taken by the panel -- some votes taken, some NOT taken. Two local doctors help us make sense of what all of this means. Guest: Dr. Helen Chu, a professor of medicine at UW Medicine. Dr. Amanda Kost, chief of service of family medicine at Harborview Medical Center.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 25-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 25,795 on turnover of $10-billion N-T. Taiwan shares closed at a record high Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates and signaled more reductions this year following its two-day policy meeting. Analysts say tech stocks led the rally as lower interest rates made growth shares more attractive (吸引人的) compared with their dividend yields. In contrast, non-tech shares were mixed, with "Military concept stocks" weakening as expectations of higher defense spending had already been priced in. Public Alert Testing for National Disaster Prevention Day The island is conducting a nationwide disaster drill today to test its public alert system, in conjunction with (連同) National Disaster Prevention Day. The Central Weather Administration says members of the public received an alert on their mobile phones at 9:21am, as part of efforts to help people become familiar with the alert system and to improve their ability to respond in a real disaster. The exercise is simulating a magnitude 8.5 earthquake off the coast of eastern Taiwan, and a subsequent tsunami. The drill will also include all schools and kindergartens. Students will practice the "drop, cover, and hold on" procedure to learn how to protect themselves during an earthquake. (NS) Taipei MRT Abnormality Caused by Jammed Passenger Item A Taipei MRT train on the Bannan Line experienced a delay (延遲) during rush hour this morning, causing a platform at Xinpu Station to become overcrowded. The Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation says a door on a train heading toward Nangang Exhibition Center Station gave a warning signal at about 8:20 a.m. The company says the door was likely jammed by a passenger's personal item. To ensure safety, the transit authority asked the one thousand passengers to get off the train and wait for the next one. After the issue was resolved, the train resumed service at Ximen Station. This is the second time the Bannan Line has experienced a delay this week. (NS) US CDC Panel to Vote on Controversial Changes to Childhood Vaccines The CDC's vaccine advisory panel will vote Thursday on controversial changes to the childhood vaccine schedule - including delaying the Hepatitis B shot for newborns. It may also change guidance (指導，引導) on the MMRV jab - which offers protection against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a vaccine skeptic (懷疑論者), fired the existing panel and replaced it with his own picks. Toni Waterman has more. Iran Withdraws UN Resolution Prohibiting Attacks on Nuclear Facilities Iran has decided at the last minute to withdraw a resolution prohibiting attacks on nuclear facilities that it put forward for a vote before an annual gathering of the U.N. nuclear watchdog's member nations. The draft resolution “strongly condemned” the “deliberate and unlawful attacks carried out in June 2025 against nuclear sites and facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” adding that this constituted a “clear violation of international law.” Western diplomats said Thursday that the U.S. has been heavily lobbying (遊說) to prevent the resolution from being adopted, also raising the possibility of reducing funding to the International Atomic Energy Agency That was the I.C.R.T.

Del rips into the CDC's choice of spokesman, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, noting the absurdity of using someone who embodies the very adult risk groups Hepatitis B was created for. With over 99% of pregnant mothers testing negative, he argues there is no justification for forcing newborns to be injected with their ‘first sexually transmitted disease' on day one of life – more proof the vaccine program has lost its way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

Episode 198: Fatigue.  Future doctors Redden and Ibrahim discuss with Dr. Arreaza the different causes of fatigue, including physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Arreaza describes the steps to evaluate fatigue. Some common misconceptions are explained, such as vitamin D deficiency and “chronic Lyme disease”. Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV, and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MDYou are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza: Today is a great day to talk about fatigue. It is one of the most common and most complex complaints we see in primary care. It involves physical, mental, and emotional health. So today, we're walking through a case, breaking down causes, red flags, and how to work it up without ordering the entire lab catalog.Michael:Case: This is a 34-year-old female who comes in saying, "I've been feeling drained for the past 3 months." She says she's been sleeping 8 hours a night but still wakes up tired. No recent illnesses, no weight loss, fever, or night sweats. She denies depression or anxiety but does report a lot of work stress and taking care of her two little ones at home. She drinks 2 cups of coffee a day, doesn't drink alcohol, and doesn't use drugs. No medications, just a multivitamin. Regular menstrual cycles—but she's noticed they've been heavier recently.Jordan:Fatigue is a persistent sense of exhaustion that isn't relieved by rest. It's different from sleepiness or muscle weakness.Classification based on timeline:    •   Acute fatigue: less than 1 month    •   Subacute: 1 to 6 months    •   Chronic: more than 6 monthsThis patient's case is subacute—going on 3 months now.Dr. Arreaza:And we can think about fatigue in types:    •   Physical fatigue: like muscle tiredness after activity    •   Mental fatigue: trouble concentrating or thinking clearly (physical + mental when you are a medical student or resident)    •    Pathological fatigue: which isn't proportional to effort and doesn't get better with restAnd of course, there's chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is a diagnosis of exclusion after 6 months of disabling fatigue with other symptoms.Michael:The differential is massive. So, we can also group it by systems.Jordan:Let's run through the big ones.Endocrine / Metabolic Causes    • Hypothyroidism: A classic cause of fatigue. Often associated with cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, and constipation. May be subtle and underdiagnosed, especially in women.    • Diabetes Mellitus: Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can cause fatigue. Look for polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or blurry vision in undiagnosed diabetes.    • Adrenal Insufficiency: Think of this when fatigue is paired with hypotension, weight loss, salt craving, or hyperpigmentation. Can be primary (Addison's) or secondary (e.g., due to long-term steroid use).Michael: Hematologic Causes    • Anemia (especially iron deficiency): Very common, especially in menstruating women. Look for fatigue with pallor, shortness of breath on exertion, and sometimes pica (craving non-food items).     • Vitamin B12 or Folate Deficiency: B12 deficiency may present with fatigue plus neurologic symptoms like numbness, tingling, or gait issues. Folate deficiency tends to present with megaloblastic anemia and fatigue.    • Anemia of Chronic Disease: Seen in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions like RA, infections, or CKD. Typically mild, normocytic, and improves when the underlying disease is treated.Michael: Psychiatric Causes    • Depression: A major driver of fatigue, often underreported. May include anhedonia, sleep disturbance, appetite changes, or guilt. Sometimes presents with only somatic complaints.    • Anxiety Disorders: Mental fatigue, poor sleep quality, and hypervigilance can leave patients feeling constantly drained.    • Burnout Syndrome: Especially common in caregivers, healthcare workers, and educators. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment are key features.Jordan: Infectious Causes    • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV):Mononucleosis is a well-known cause of fatigue, sometimes lasting weeks. May also have sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly.    • HIV:Consider it in high-risk individuals. Fatigue can be an early sign, along with weight loss, recurrent infections, or night sweats.    • Hepatitis (B or C):Can present with chronic fatigue, especially if liver enzymes are elevated. Screen at-risk individuals.    • Post-viral Syndromes / Long COVID:Fatigue that lingers for weeks or months after viral infection. Often, it includes brain fog, muscle aches, and post-exertional malaise.Important: Chronic Lyme disease is a controversial term without a consistent clinical definition and is often used to describe patients with persistent, nonspecific symptoms not supported by objective evidence of Lyme infection. Leading medical organizations reject the term and instead recognize "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS) for persistent symptoms following confirmed, treated Lyme disease, emphasizing that prolonged antibiotic therapy is not effective. Research shows no benefit—and potential harm—from extended antibiotic use, and patients with unexplained chronic symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated for other possible diagnoses.Michael: Cardiopulmonary Causes    •   Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Fatigue from poor perfusion and low cardiac output. Often comes with dyspnea on exertion, edema, and orthopnea.    •   Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Look for a smoking history, chronic cough, and fatigue from hypoxia or the work of breathing.    •   Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Daytime fatigue despite adequate hours of sleep. Patients may snore, gasp, or report morning headaches. High suspicion in obese or hypertensive patients.Jordan:Autoimmune / Inflammatory Causes    •   Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Fatigue is often an early symptom. May also see rash, arthritis, photosensitivity, or renal involvement.    •   Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Fatigue from systemic inflammation. Morning stiffness, joint pain, and elevated inflammatory markers point to RA.    •   Fibromyalgia: A chronic pain syndrome with widespread tenderness, fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, and sometimes cognitive complaints ("fibro fog").Cancer / Malignancy    •   Leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors: Fatigue can be the first symptom, often accompanied by weight loss, night sweats, or unexplained fevers. Consider when no other cause is evident.Michael:Medications:Common culprits include:    ◦   Beta-blockers: Can slow heart rate too much.    ◦   Antihistamines: Sedating H1 blockers like diphenhydramine.    ◦   Sedatives or sleep aids: Can cause grogginess and daytime sedation.    •   Substance Withdrawal: Fatigue can be seen in withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or stimulants. Caffeine withdrawal, though mild, can also contribute.Dr. Arreaza:Whenever we evaluate fatigue, we need to keep an eye out for red flags. These should raise suspicion for something more serious:    •   Unintentional weight loss    •   Night sweats    •   Persistent fever    •   Neurologic symptoms    •   Lymphadenopathy    •   Jaundice    •   Palpitations or chest painThis patient doesn't have these—but that doesn't mean we stop here.Dr. Arreaza:Those are a lot of causes, we can evaluate fatigue following 7 steps:Characterize the fatigue.Look for organic illness.Evaluate medications and substances.Perform psychiatric screening.Ask questions about quantity and quality of sleep.Physical examination.Undertake investigations.So, students, do we send the whole lab panel?Michael:Not necessarily. Labs should be guided by history and physical. But here's a good initial panel:    •   CBC: To check for anemia or infection    • TSH: Screen for hypothyroidism    • CMP: Look at electrolytes, kidney, and liver function    • Ferritin and iron studies    • B12, folate    • ESR/CRP for inflammation (not specific)    • HbA1c if diabetes is on the radarJordan:And if needed, consider:    • HIV, EBV, hepatitis panel    • ANA, RF    • Cortisol or ACTH stimulation testImaging? Now that's rare—unless there are specific signs. Like chest X-ray for possible cancer or TB, or sleep study if you suspect OSA.Dr. Arreaza:Unaddressed fatigue isn't just inconvenient. It can impact on quality of life, affect job performance, lead to mood disorders, delay diagnosis of serious illness, increase risk of accidents—especially driving. So, don't ignore your patients with fatigue!Jordan:And some people—like women, caregivers, or shift workers—are especially at risk.Michael:The cornerstone of treatment is addressing the underlying cause.Jordan:If it's iron-deficiency anemia—treat it. If it's depression—get mental health involved. But there's also: Lifestyle Support: Better sleep hygiene, light physical activity, mindfulness or CBT for stress, balanced nutrition—especially iron and protein, limit caffeine and alcoholDr. Arreaza:Sometimes medications help—but rarely. And for chronic fatigue syndrome, the current best strategies are graded exercise therapy and CBT, along with managing specific symptoms. Beta-alanine has potential to modestly improve muscular endurance and reduce fatigue in older adults, but more high-quality research is needed.SSRI: fluoxetine and sertraline. Iron supplements: Even without anemia, but low ferritin [Anecdote about low ferritin patient]Jordan:This case reminds us to take fatigue seriously. In her case, it may be multifactorial—work stress, caregiving burden, and possibly iron-deficiency anemia. So, how would we wrap up this conversation, Michael?Michael:We don't need to order everything under the sun. A focused history and exam, targeted labs, and being alert to red flags can guide us.Jordan:And don't forget the basics—sleep, stress, and nutrition. These are just as powerful as any prescription.Dr. Arreaza:We hope today's episode on fatigue has given you a clear framework and some practical tips.

Pharmacists are pivotal in disease prevention and health promotion by advocating and administering immunizations. Despite increased access of vaccines which can prevent diseases, complications, and death, many adults in the US are not up to date on their immunizations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices provide annual guidance on vaccine recommendations. This podcast will cover 2025 vaccine updates for pneumococcal, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Hepatitis B, and Monkeypox virus (Mpox) with ASHP ambulatory care pharmacists highlighting personal perspectives and tips from their varied practice sites. The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter. The information and materials are not, and are not intended as, a comprehensive source of drug information on this topic. The contents of the podcast have not been reviewed by ASHP, and should neither be interpreted as the official policies of ASHP, nor an endorsement of any product(s), nor should they be considered as a substitute for the professional judgment of the pharmacist or physician.

What if everything you've heard about vaccines is wrong? Or maybe just wildly misunderstood? Dr. John, a Canadian internist who works at a major teaching hospital, joins us to cut through the noise and explain what's really happening with vaccine misinformation.From the fascinating origins of vaccines (did you know the word comes from "vacca" meaning cow?) to the most persistent myths circulating today, Dr. John provides clear, evidence-based explanations that make complex immunology accessible. We dive deep into why Andrew Wakefield's infamous autism study was retracted, how the "turbo cancer" conspiracy theory defies basic science, and why giving Hepatitis B vaccines to infants makes perfect sense despite what critics claim.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore how anti-vaccine narratives exploit normal death rates to create fear, why RFK Jr.'s definition of autism is wildly inaccurate, and how the difference between long and short incubation viruses explains why some vaccines seem more effective than others. Dr. John even explains how the "died suddenly" narrative falls apart when you apply simple analytical methods to the data.Most powerfully, we confront the common argument of "what did people do before vaccines?" with the stark reality: they died, often in massive numbers. This eye-opening discussion reveals how herd immunity protects the most vulnerable among us and why maintaining high vaccination rates matters for everyone, not just those receiving the vaccine.Whether you're curious about vaccine science, concerned about misinformation, or just want to understand how to evaluate health claims critically, this episode provides the tools to separate fact from fiction in an increasingly confusing information landscape.
