In this episode, we're talking about the messy, unpredictable, and downright absurd nature of grief—or as it sometimes feels, like a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig. Ethel, comedian first and a guard dog second. We honor the memory of Ethel, a tiny Chihuahua with the fierce spirit of an 80-pound Doberman who ruled the house, barked at motion detectors, and hid behind her human when things got too real. We also dive deep into the heavy, often misplaced guilt that comes with losing a pet, and discuss the practical, difficult reality of "sitting out life." While waiting for therapy or medications to reach a steady state, how do we begin to increase our participation in the world again? Join me for a raw, honest conversation about love, loss, and the slow climb back into life. #PetLoss #GriefJourney #MentalHealthMatters #HonoringEthel #ChihuahuaLove #GriefAndGuilt #PodcastLife #HealingProcess #MentalHealthSupport Ready to hit the "off" switch?

We do not use the Low Fodmap as a primary way to help those (like us) that have Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis or Microscopic colitis - in fact it can actually hold people back from experiencing symptom relief and even remission. In this video we will unpack that further.3 Things to Consider Before Considering a Low Fodmap Approach:
On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. The Art of the "Off" Switch In this episode of TNFro is Reading, Felicia Baxter moves beyond the hustle culture narrative to explore the necessity of radical rest. We're stepping away from the screens and into the "Soul of the Valley"—a curated, luxury retreat experience designed specifically for leaders who are tired of managing everyone else's needs but their own. Felicia breaks down the philosophy of finding a "softer altitude," the power of intentional unplugging, and the details of her upcoming all-inclusive immersion at The Glamping Collective. What You'll Learn Why Rest is a Leadership Skill: How constant "on" behavior leads to diminishing returns and why intentional downtime is non-negotiable for high performers. The "Soul of the Valley" Experience: A look inside a transformative weekend featuring private luxury dome accommodations, restorative sound baths, and guided mindfulness workshops. Curated Culinary Healing: A preview of the farm-to-table menu designed to nourish the soul, featuring local Chattanooga flavors. Investment in Self: Understanding the value of an all-inclusive, curated sanctuary versus a standard vacation. Episode Details Retreat Location: The Glamping Collective (Chattanooga, TN) Total Investment: $3,250 per guest (All-inclusive) Booking Requirement: 50% non-refundable deposit ($1,625) to secure your dome.

The selected books, “It's Complicated” by Terry McMillan and “Singing in the Comeback Choir” by B.B. Moore Campbell, align with the retreat's theme of renewal and reconnection, offering uplifting and engaging narratives. “Heart and Hustle, Houston” is a docuseries produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment that showcases the lives of six successful women in Houston. The show delves into their personal and professional struggles. Amanda Boulo's downfall on Summer House is examined, revealing her manipulative and abusive behavior towards Kyle. Her privileged background allowed her to play the victim and weaponize her pain, ultimately leading to her calculated betrayal of Sierra Miller for Wes Wilson. This act exposed her true nature and alienated her from former allies like Paige. Get Your Brew: Grab your single-origin or multi-origin sample packs at FBRoasters.com.

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. Healing isn't a destination; it's a daily practice of showing up for yourself with a clear head and a grateful heart. I'm diving into my personal "wellness reset" and the daily rituals that keep me grounded: from seated morning Zumba to get the blood pumping, to a mindful, system-flushing herbal tea blend (ginger, rosemary, lemon balm, and basil), and of course, that essential morning cup of single-origin Kenya coffee from FB Roasters. We also explore the mental nourishment of reading, ancestral practices, and how it all connects to the Afro-Druid ethos of interconnected healing. Plus, I share a hilarious cautionary tale about accidentally making my French roast a little too strong this week! Reset With Me: Valley of the Soul Retreat I am hosting an intimate wellness retreat right here in Chattanooga at the Glamping Collective from July 23rd through July 26th. With only 10 spots available, this is your opportunity to quiet your soul, enjoy solitude or fellowship, and receive life through yoga, tai chi, sound baths, and guided meditation.

On today's show, Ian Hoch has on Andrew Doss, a local and international climate governance lawyer, playwright, and soon-to-be Episcopal priest, to discuss why he decided the questions he cared about most were spiritual ones, Russell Honoré, retired Army Lieutenant General, to urge people to get prepared for hurricanes and emergencies with the expectation of not looking to FEMA for assistance, and Joe Heeren-Mueller, coordinator at the Louisiana Advocacy Coalition on Homelessness, to discuss a bill that would make unauthorized camping on public property a crime.

Revisit Setting Intentions...Pope Leo Still Kicking the Knowledge; Sun Tzu Could Not Have Imagined New Age Chinese or 50 Cent Level of Petty. Revisiting this episode because sometimes you have to repeat yourself for it to stick... If you believe God has healed you from a physical illness, mental illness, or some type of imbalance, why are you still moving the same way you did to break your body so much down to your genetic code, or in an alternate reality, or your credit score in the single digits? What if what you believe is not a true Godly revelation but your own self-centered counsel? Truth comes in many forms. What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type is the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you. 3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you. Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts. 5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives. Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace. Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge. Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....

Pope Leo XIV's first Easter message, where he called for global peace amidst conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war and the US-Israeli war on Iran. The "messy" irony lies in the transition from a solemn papal address on world "ravaged by wars" to the interpersonal "messiness" and psychological pathology discussed in the following segments. Guarding the Reservoir: Physical & Emotional Rebalancing 1. The Professional Martyr: Recognizing the Bait Decoding Passive-Aggression: Analyzing the "I'd love to just come float" comment. Recognizing it as a "loaded" statement meant to trigger guilt about your success, your pool, and your upcoming retirement. The Approval Trap: Acknowledging that they don't approve of your expenditures (pool resurfacing/safety) and why you no longer need their "stamp of approval" on your financial freedom. Protecting Your Space: Understanding that their inability to relax is her burden, not a flaw in your hospitality. You aren't "pulling her in" anymore; the pool is closed, and so is the door to her drama. 2. Healing from Past Emotional "Inflammation." The DC & Birthday Lessons: Reflecting on past vacations and birthdays ruined by a professional martyr The "Emergency" Pattern: The martyr's lack of planning or refusal to make hard choices became your emergency. Breaking the Cycle: Declaring that early retirement and your "new" life will not be a staging ground for their crisis-management. 3. The Physical Toll: Menopause & The Electrolyte Crash The Hormone Shift: Discussing the transition off HRT and the reality of "Black Girl Vitamins"—they help, but the body's chemistry is still in flux. The Sweetwater Incident: A deep dive into the "Full Body Crash." The danger of severe night sweats leading to "free water" loss and electrolyte depletion. The symptoms: Weakness in hands, knee pain, and full-body aches that feel like a setback in the anti-inflammatory journey. The Rebalancing Window: Acknowledging that it took 24+ hours to recover, highlighting how much more fragile our baseline is during hormonal shifts. 4. Lessons for the "Solo RV" Life Logistics vs. Physical Ability: The difficulty of managing hookups and setup when your body is depleted. The New "Pre-Flight" Checklist: * Prioritizing hydration protocols (Liquid IV, electrolyte powders) before the sweat starts. The necessity of organization: An unorganized RV + a depleted body = a dangerous combination. Planning for Weakness: Admitting that "muscle-ing through" isn't a strategy anymore; planning for physical conservation is. 5. Closing Thought: The Anti-Inflammatory Mindset Internal & External Peace: You can't heal systemic inflammation if you are constantly triggered by family or physically dehydrated. The Goal: A resurfaced pool deck, a safe home, a retirement free of guilt, and a body that is properly fueled for the road ahead. Harrison Bay Mantra: "My peace is non-negotiable, my signal is low, and my hydration is high." Protecting from mental depletion and financial Depletion, the scams of life: Just like you are setting boundaries with your sister by turning off your Wi-Fi calling at Harrison Bay, your listeners need to set "Financial Boundaries." Rule #1: No federal agent will ever come to your house for a "cash pickup." Rule #2: If they tell you to lie to your bank teller, they are 100% a criminal. I'm heading to Harrison Bay to get away from the noise, but the 'noise' isn't just family drama—it's these high-tech predators. Whether it's a martyr sister trying to steal your joy or a scammer trying to steal your retirement, the solution is the same: Disconnect. Verify. Protect your peace."

The "messy" irony lies in the transition from a solemn papal address on world "ravaged by wars" to the interpersonal "messiness" and psychological pathology discussed in the following segments. The Anti-Inflammatory Power of Basil Basil contains a high concentration of Eugenol. In the world of natural chemistry, Eugenol is a "blocker"—it actually works similarly to over-the-counter NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) by inhibiting the enzymes (COX-2) that cause swelling and pain in the joint. How it adds to your Aloe-Herb Salve: Adding Basil creates a "Triple Threat" for your severe arthritis: Rosemary: Increases local circulation (brings blood flow to the joint). Lemon Balm: Calms the "angry" sensory nerves around the kneecap. Basil: Acts as the heavy-duty anti-inflammatory to reduce the actual swelling. Savoring the Silence & Protecting the Peace. You can't fix stupid, and you certainly can't fix a narcissist. But you can fix your boundaries. If every time you share a win, you get a grunt, stop sharing the win. Build your 'Silent Resort' and invite people who know how to celebrate. Your joy is too expensive to be spent on someone who is committed to being miserable. Protect that peace! Federation is a hard sci-fi crossover; it functions as a secular Passion play. It tells the story of a man (Cochrane) who suffers through a global apocalypse (WWIII), offers humanity "salvation" through the light of warp drive, disappears (dies to the world), and is ultimately "resurrected" through the grace of an alien entity and the legacy he leaves behind.

Fuel your nocturnal healing with a crispy bok choy and ginger-chicken stir-fry, designed to stabilize blood sugar and lock in a day of anti-inflammatory success. #AgeOfAquarius #BodyTemple #AntiInflammatoryDinner #GardenToTable #MetabolicHarmony Pivot Before the Punch Combating members of the Churches of Hypocrisy and Janky-A** Saints and Micro-Aggressions of Envy. Remember that "No" is a complete sentence. You are engineering your environment for low inflammation. You are literally building a sanctuary where your nervous system can reset. Peace Vampires hate improvements on your real property and other ways you enhance your own life, because you've created a world where you don't need to complain to feel significant. If anyone asks why you're "hiding" your joy, tell them: "I'm on a strictly anti-inflammatory diet. That includes my social media and my phone calls." Above is Dealing with Professional Martyrs and Coin-Counting Architects of Envy --> The Rule: If they didn't finance it, they don't get to "feature" in it. The Practice: Stop giving people access to "Line Items."For example, if you ask about my RV trip or any other vacation/Staycation: "It's just a little road trip for my mental health. How's your garden?" The Strategy: When you withhold the "Details," you withhold the "Daggers." How to Say "Mind Your Business" (The Felicia MD Way) The "Boundary Bump": When they make a slick comment about the pool deck or any other renovation, hit them with, "I'm really grateful I could stabilize my property. I'm sure you'd do the same! So, what's the news at the church?"(As if you give a damn.) Stay in your resort. Drive your RV. Protect. That. Peace. Stay in your resort. Drive your RV. Protect. That. Peace Are you tired of the static? In a world full of 'ghosts in the machine' and stories that just don't add up, it's time to flip the script. Today on the podcast, we're diving into two anthems of pure empowerment. First, we're hitting 'The Higher Road'—a journey from the bottom to the crown, breaking every chain along the way. Then, we're cutting through the noise with 'Lies are Just Lies', because when the truth is the truth, that's all you really need to move on to better things. Whether you're the architect of your own flavor or the main character of your own story, this episode is your soundtrack for standing tall. Tune in now. Rise up, walk in victory, and leave the lies behind. "In 1936, the only thing more dangerous than a secret downstairs was a Nazi in the drawing room." The Gilded & The Gritty-Breaking down 2010 Upstairs Downstairs Episode: 165 Eaton Place – New Money, Nazi Sisters, and Forbidden Desires The "New" Hollands: Meet Sir Hallam and Lady Agnes. He's the diplomat with the checkbook; she's the "land-poor" aristocrat with the title. Together, they're trying to polish a mothballed legacy while the world outside begins to burn. The "Persie" Problem: Lady Persephone Towyn isn't just a rebellious debutante—she's a cautionary tale. Inspired by the real-life Mitford Sisters, Persie trades tea parties for Blackshirt rallies and high-stakes affairs with Nazi diplomats. The Irony of the Elite: We dive into the staggering hypocrisy of Persie's "illegal" abortion. While the Fascist rhetoric she spews celebrates "pure motherhood," her own life is a masterclass in using upper-class privilege to bypass the laws of the land. Downstairs Dangers: It's 1939, and the servants aren't just polishing silver. We discuss the "Lavender Danger"—the criminal risks for gay staff like Johnny Proude—and how the BUF used populist rhetoric to radicalize the working class. The "Downton" Death Blow: Why did the 2010 reboot vanish after two seasons? Between the exit of original icons Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins and the sunnier, soapier juggernaut of Downton Abbey, 165 Eaton Place simply ran out of time. 1970s vs. 2010: A look at how "taboos" evolved from the whispered library scandals of the original series to the visceral, political grenades of the reboot. The Architecture of Truth In this episode of TNFRO is Reading, we're stripping away the "static" and the mental noise. We dive deep into two powerful anthems that serve as blueprints for resilience and integrity. Whether you're building your own staircase or flipping the script on a "glitch in the screen," today is about reclaiming your frequency and walking in victory. What's In This Episode: The Higher Road: An anthem of personal evolution and breaking every chain. Lies are Just Lies: A bold confrontation about choosing the truth over the distortion. The Architect Mindset: Why the stones they throw are exactly what you need to build your staircase. Clearing the Smoke: How to stop engaging with the "static" and move on to better things.

Fuel your nocturnal healing with a crispy bok choy and ginger-chicken stir-fry, designed to stabilize blood sugar and lock in a day of anti-inflammatory success. #AgeOfAquarius #BodyTemple #AntiInflammatoryDinner #GardenToTable #MetabolicHarmony Changing the "Sausage Head" Narrative The Definition What is a "Sausage Head" Narrative? It's when a loved one—usually someone in a health or financial crisis—dismisses your logic, your expertise, and your care by labeling you as "clueless," "controlling," or "ignorant." When you're being called a "sausage head" for telling the truth: Stop Defending Your Resume: You don't need to prove you're smart. You know you're grounded. Let the insult hang in the air. The "Agree and Disarm" Technique: * Them: "You don't know what you're talking about, you sausage head!" You: "I might not know everything, but I know I love you enough to stay calm while you're upset. Let's talk when you're ready to eat." Label the Tactic, Not the Person: In your mind, tell yourself: "This is the illness talking." This lowers your inflammatory response because you stop taking the "bait." The "Grounded" Takeaway You cannot change someone who is committed to misunderstanding you. If the narrative in their head is that you are the "enemy," stop trying to be the "hero." Just be the Constant. Be the one who is still there, still healthy, and still refusing to join the circus.

In this episode, we take a sharp, sarcastic deep dive into the latest "sundowner" antics coming out of the White House and the blatant economic backfire hitting the administration's own base. From 4:00 AM cowardice to the massive contrast in how America celebrates Black History Month, we're breaking down why "truly great men" don't have to tear others down to stand tall. The 4 AM "Red Flag": Why midnight tantrums aren't "strength"—they're a sign of failing health and an old man sundowning on a global stage. We discuss why his kids need to snatch the phone before the battery (and the legacy) hits zero. The Economic "Self-Own": A look at the reality behind the rhetoric. With groceries at 4x the price, record-high foreclosures, and health insurance premiums skyrocketing due to expired subsidies, we ask: who is this "greatness" actually for? The "Michelle" Metric: Poetic justice at the box office. Why is an immigrant documentary playing to empty seats and tumbleweeds, while Michelle Obama's Becoming is back at #1 six years later?

Just in time for #BlackHistoryMonth #theegalenjwilliams out here converting ebonics to polite 18th-century gathering....Bahaha! The Count of Monte Cristo is being revisited by African American readers, who see it as a story of survival and excellence in a world designed to erase them. The book's themes of betrayal, political turmoil, and the pursuit of justice resonate with the experiences of black professionals navigating systemic barriers. The upcoming PBS adaptation and a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Dumas are fueling a cultural reclamation of his heritage and a deeper appreciation for the novel's complexities. Repeating anti-inflammatory protocol. The "Farm-to-Mug" Daily Anti-Inflammatory Protocol This schedule optimizes your body's natural circadian rhythms to dampen "meta-inflammation" throughout the day. Morning: The "Activation" Phase 07:00 AM – Hydration Kickstart: Drink 12oz of warm lemon water. The citric acid aids digestion and provides an immediate Vitamin C boost to lower oxidative stress. 08:00 AM – The Neural Clarity Tea: Simmer your rosemary and ginger for 10 minutes (covered). Add a teaspoon of raw honey. This opens up circulation and provides a neuroprotective start to your workday. 09:30 AM – Anti-Inflammatory Harvest Juice: Using the ingredients from your indoor garden, juice celery and red-fleshed apple with a pinch of turmeric and black pepper. Afternoon: The "Maintenance" Phase 01:00 PM – The "Big Harvest" Salad: Use a base of the dark leafy greens visible in your photo (Kale and Chard). 03:00 PM – Movement Break: A 10-minute brisk walk. Physical activity helps "flush" cytokines from the muscle tissue and improves insulin sensitivity. Evening: The "Recovery" Phase 07:00 PM – Low-Glycemic Dinner: Focus on healthy fats (omega-3s) like salmon or walnuts, paired with more garden-fresh veggies. 09:00 PM – Digital Detox: Chronic inflammation is tied to cortisol.

Anterior mediastinal masses make even seasoned anesthesiologists pause, and for good reason: a stable, upright patient can decompensate with a single change in position or a single dose of the wrong drug. We walk through a clear, stepwise approach that starts with anatomy and symptom red flags, then translates imaging, echocardiography, and pulmonary function testing into real-world decisions at the bedside. The focus stays practical: how to pick the safest setting, when to avoid general anesthesia, and what to prepare before anyone touches the airway.We break down adult and pediatric risk criteria, including mass-to-chest ratio, degree of tracheal compression, SVC obstruction, pericardial effusion, and standardized tumor volume in children. From there, we outline sedation-first strategies using ketamine, dexmedetomidine, and carefully titrated remifentanil to preserve spontaneous ventilation and avoid precipitous loss of tone. For patients who truly need general anesthesia, we share an OR playbook: lower-extremity access when SVC flow is threatened, semi-upright preoxygenation, slow induction while maintaining spontaneous ventilation, awake intubation options, and selective use of short-acting agents to test tolerance of positive pressure.Ventilation choices can make or break the case. We explain why long expiratory times and low respiratory rates reduce air trapping and auto-PEEP, and how fiberoptic bronchoscopy can guide tube position, predict extubation risk, and inform postoperative support. Rescue pathways are explicit: repositioning and CPAP, mechanical stenting with an endotracheal tube or rigid bronchoscope, rapid escalation to airway stents, and ECMO when distal collapse or cardiovascular compromise persists. We also spell out who needs ICU monitoring after surgery and why the safest path often means doing less.If this topic raises your heart rate, you're not alone. Tune in to sharpen your plan, align your team, and build a safer pathway from preop to postop for both adults and kids.

The primary focus of today's discussion centers on the relationship between NAD and cancer risk. NAD is crucial for cellular functions including energy production, DNA repair, and immune response. Current research presents mixed results regarding NAD's role in cancer, demanding further investigation and caution. NAD supplementation may not inherently cause cancer but could influence existing cancer cell behavior. Listeners are encouraged to conduct their own research and consider their personal health situations regarding NAD usage.

Listen to ASCO's JCO Oncology Practice, Art of Oncology Practice article, "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last” by Dr. David Johnson, who is a clinical oncologist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. The article is followed by an interview with Johnson and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Through humor and irony, Johnson critiques how overspecialization and poor presentation practices have eroded what was once internal medicine's premier educational forum. Transcript Narrator: An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last, by David H. Johnson, MD, MACP, FASCO Over the past five decades, I have attended hundreds of medical conferences—some insightful and illuminating, others tedious and forgettable. Among these countless gatherings, Medical Grand Rounds (MGRs) has always held a special place. Originally conceived as a forum for discussing complex clinical cases, emerging research, and best practices in patient care, MGRs served as a unifying platform for clinicians across all specialties, along with medical students, residents, and other health care professionals. Expert speakers—whether esteemed faculty or distinguished guests—would discuss challenging cases, using them as a springboard to explore the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment. During my early years as a medical student, resident, and junior faculty member, Grand Rounds consistently attracted large, engaged audiences. However, as medicine became increasingly subspecialized, attendance began to wane. Lectures grew more technically intricate, often straying from broad clinical relevance. The patient-centered discussions that once brought together diverse medical professionals gradually gave way to hyperspecialized presentations. Subspecialists, once eager to share their insights with the wider medical community, increasingly withdrew to their own specialty-specific conferences, further fragmenting the exchange of knowledge across disciplines. As a former Chair of Internal Medicine and a veteran of numerous MGRs, I observed firsthand how these sessions shifted from dynamic educational exchanges to highly specialized, often impenetrable discussions. One of the most striking trends in recent years has been the decline in presentation quality at MGR—even among local and visiting world-renowned experts. While these speakers are often brilliant clinicians and investigators, they can also be remarkably poor lecturers, delivering some of the most uninspiring talks I have encountered. Their presentations are so consistently lackluster that one might suspect an underlying strategy at play—an unspoken method to ensure that they are never invited back. Having observed this pattern repeatedly, I am convinced that these speakers must be adhering to a set of unwritten rules to avoid future MGR presentations. To assist those unfamiliar with this apparent strategy, I have distilled the key principles that, when followed correctly, all but guarantee that a presenter will not be asked to give another MGR lecture—thus sparing them the burden of preparing one in the future. Drawing on my experience as an oncologist, I illustrate these principles using an oncology-based example although I suspect similar rules apply across other subspecialties. It will be up to my colleagues in cardiology, endocrinology, rheumatology, and beyond to identify and document their own versions—tasks for which I claim no expertise. What follows are the seven “Rules for Presenting a Bad Medical Oncology Medical Grand Rounds.” 1. Microscopic Mayhem: Always begin with an excruciatingly detailed breakdown of the tumor's histology and molecular markers, emphasizing how these have evolved over the years (eg, PAP v prostate-specific antigen)—except, of course, when they have not (eg, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, etc). These nuances, while of limited relevance to general internists or most subspecialists (aside from oncologists), are guaranteed to induce eye-glazing boredom and quiet despair among your audience. 2. TNM Torture: Next, cover every nuance of the newest staging system … this is always a real crowd pleaser. For illustrative purposes, show a TNM chart in the smallest possible font. It is particularly helpful if you provide a lengthy review of previous versions of the staging system and painstakingly cover each and every change in the system. Importantly, this activity will allow you to disavow the relevance of all previous literature studies to which you will subsequently refer during the course of your presentation … to wit—“these data are based on the OLD staging system and therefore may not pertain …” This phrase is pure gold—use it often if you can. NB: You will know you have “captured” your audience if you observe audience members “shifting in their seats” … it occurs almost every time … but if you have failed to “move” the audience … by all means, continue reading … there is more! 3. Mechanism of Action Meltdown: Discuss in detail every drug ever used to treat the cancer under discussion; this works best if you also give a detailed description of each drug's mechanism of action (MOA). General internists and subspecialists just LOVE hearing a detailed discussion of the drug's MOA … especially if it is not at all relevant to the objectives of your talk. At this point, if you observe a wave of slack-jawed faces slowly slumping toward their desktops, you will know you are on your way to successfully crushing your audience's collective spirit. Keep going—you are almost there. 4. Dosage Deadlock: One must discuss “dose response” … there is absolutely nothing like a dose response presentation to a group of internists to induce cries of anguish. A wonderful example of how one might weave this into a lecture to generalists or a mixed audience of subspecialists is to discuss details that ONLY an oncologist would care about—such as the need to dose escalate imatinib in GIST patients with exon 9 mutations as compared with those with exon 11 mutations. This is a definite winner! 5. Criteria Catatonia: Do not forget to discuss the newest computed tomography or positron emission tomography criteria for determining response … especially if you plan to discuss an obscure malignancy that even oncologists rarely encounter (eg, esthesioneuroblastoma). Should you plan to discuss a common disease you can ensure ennui only if you will spend extra time discussing RECIST criteria. Now if you do this well, some audience members may begin fashioning their breakfast burritos into projectiles—each one aimed squarely at YOU. Be brave … soldier on! 6. Kaplan-Meier Killer: Make sure to discuss the arcane details of multiple negative phase II and III trials pertaining to the cancer under discussion. It is best to show several inconsequential and hard-to-read Kaplan-Meier plots. To make sure that you do a bad job, divide this portion of your presentation into two sections … one focused on adjuvant treatment; the second part should consist of a long boring soliloquy on the management of metastatic disease. Provide detailed information of little interest even to the most ardent fan of the disease you are discussing. This alone will almost certainly ensure that you will never, ever be asked to give Medicine Grand Rounds again. 7. Lymph Node Lobotomy: For the coup de grâce, be sure to include an exhaustive discussion of the latest surgical techniques, down to the precise number of lymph nodes required for an “adequate dissection.” To be fair, such details can be invaluable in specialized settings like a tumor board, where they send subspecialists into rapturous delight. But in the context of MGR—where the audience spans multiple disciplines—it will almost certainly induce a stultifying torpor. If dullness were an art, this would be its masterpiece—capable of lulling even the most caffeinated minds into a stupor. If you have carefully followed the above set of rules, at this point, some members of the audience should be banging their heads against the nearest hard surface. If you then hear a loud THUD … and you're still standing … you will know you have succeeded in giving the world's worst Medical Grand Rounds! Final Thoughts I hope that these rules shed light on what makes for a truly dreadful oncology MGR presentation—which, by inverse reasoning, might just serve as a blueprint for an excellent one. At its best, an outstanding lecture defies expectations. One of the most memorable MGRs I have attended, for instance, was on prostaglandin function—not a subject typically associated with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Given by a biochemist and physician from another subspecialty, it could have easily devolved into a labyrinth of enzymatic pathways and chemical structures. Instead, the speaker took a different approach: rather than focusing on biochemical minutiae, he illustrated how prostaglandins influence nearly every major physiologic system—modulating inflammation, regulating cardiovascular function, protecting the gut, aiding reproduction, supporting renal function, and even influencing the nervous system—without a single slide depicting the prostaglandin structure. The result? A room full of clinicians—not biochemists—walked away with a far richer understanding of how prostaglandins affect their daily practice. What is even more remarkable is that the talk's clarity did not just inform—it sparked new collaborations that shaped years of NIH-funded research. Now that was an MGR masterpiece. At its core, effective scientific communication boils down to three deceptively simple principles: understanding your audience, focusing on relevance, and making complex information accessible.2 The best MGRs do not drown the audience in details, but rather illuminate why those details matter. A great lecture is not about showing how much you know, but about ensuring your audience leaves knowing something they didn't before. For those who prefer the structured wisdom of a written guide over the ramblings of a curmudgeon, an excellent review of these principles—complete with a handy checklist—is available.2 But fair warning: if you follow these principles, you may find yourself invited back to present another stellar MGRs. Perish the thought!

I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I'm Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami. What a pleasure it is today to be joined by Dr. David Johnson, clinical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. In this episode, we will be discussing his Art of Oncology Practice article, "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last." Our guest's disclosures will be linked in the transcript. David, welcome to our podcast and thanks so much for joining us. Dr. David JohnsonGreat to be here, Mikkael. Thanks for inviting me. Dr. Mikkael SekeresI was wondering if we could start with just- give us a sense about you. Can you tell us about yourself? Where are you from? And walk us through your career. Dr. David JohnsonSure. I grew up in a small rural community in Northwest Georgia about 30 miles south of Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the Appalachian Mountains. I met my wife in kindergarten. Dr. Mikkael SekeresOh my. Dr. David JohnsonThere are laws in Georgia. We didn't get married till the third grade. But we dated in high school and got married after college. And so we've literally been with one another my entire life, our entire lives. Dr. Mikkael SekeresMy word. Dr. David JohnsonI went to medical school in Georgia. I did my training in multiple sites, including my oncology training at Vanderbilt, where I completed my training. I spent the next 30 years there, where I had a wonderful career. Got an opportunity to be a Division Chief and a Deputy Director of, and the founder of, a cancer center there. And in 2010, I was recruited to UT Southwestern as the Chairman of Medicine. Not a position I had particularly aspired to, but I was interested in taking on that challenge, and it proved to be quite a challenge for me. I had to relearn internal medicine, and really all the subspecialties of medicine really became quite challenging to me. So my career has spanned sort of the entire spectrum, I suppose, as a clinical investigator, as an administrator, and now as a near end-of-my-career guy who writes ridiculous articles about grand rounds. Dr. Mikkael SekeresNot ridiculous at all. It was terrific. What was that like, having to retool? And this is a theme you cover a little bit in your essay, also, from something that's super specialized. I mean, you have had this storied career with the focus on lung cancer, and then having to expand not only to all of hematology oncology, but all of medicine. Dr. David JohnsonIt was a challenge, but it was also incredibly fun. My first few days in the chair's office, I met with a number of individuals, but perhaps the most important individuals I met with were the incoming chief residents who were, and are, brilliant men and women. And we made a pact. I promised to teach them as much as I could about oncology if they would teach me as much as they could about internal medicine. And so I spent that first year literally trying to relearn medicine. And I had great teachers. Several of those chiefs are now on the faculty here or elsewhere. And that continued on for the next several years. Every group of chief residents imparted their wisdom to me, and I gave them what little bit I could provide back to them in the oncology world. It was a lot of fun. And I have to say, I don't necessarily recommend everybody go into administration. It's not necessarily the most fun thing in the world to do. But the opportunity to deal one-on-one closely with really brilliant men and women like the chief residents was probably the highlight of my time as Chair of Medicine. Dr. Mikkael SekeresThat sounds incredible. I can imagine, just reflecting over the two decades that I've been in hematology oncology and thinking about the changes in how we diagnose and care for people over that time period, I can only imagine what the changes had been in internal medicine since I was last immersed in that, which would be my residency. Dr. David JohnsonWell, I trained in the 70s in internal medicine, and what transpired in the 70s was kind of ‘monkey see, monkey do'. We didn't really have a lot of understanding of pathophysiology except at the most basic level. Things have changed enormously, as you well know, certainly in the field of oncology and hematology, but in all the other fields as well. And so I came in with what I thought was a pretty good foundation of knowledge, and I realized it was completely worthless, what I had learned as an intern and resident. And when I say I had to relearn medicine, I mean, I had to relearn medicine. It was like being an intern. Actually, it was like being a medical student all over again. Dr. Mikkael SekeresOh, wow. Dr. David JohnsonSo it's quite challenging. Dr. Mikkael SekeresWell, and it's just so interesting. You're so deliberate in your writing and thinking through something like grand rounds. It's not a surprise, David, that you were also deliberate in how you were going to approach relearning medicine. So I wonder if we could pivot to talking about grand rounds, because part of being a Chair of Medicine, of course, is having Department of Medicine grand rounds. And whether those are in a cancer center or a department of medicine, it's an honor to be invited to give a grand rounds talk. How do you think grand rounds have changed over the past few decades? Can you give an example of what grand rounds looked like in the 1990s compared to what they look like now? Dr. David JohnsonWell, I should all go back to the 70s and and talk about grand rounds in the 70s. And I referenced an article in my essay written by Dr. Ingelfinger, who many people remember Dr. Ingelfinger as the Ingelfinger Rule, which the New England Journal used to apply. You couldn't publish in the New England Journal if you had published or publicly presented your data prior to its presentation in the New England Journal. Anyway, Dr. Ingelfinger wrote an article which, as I say, I referenced in my essay, about the graying of grand rounds, when he talked about what grand rounds used to be like. It was a very almost sacred event where patients were presented, and then experts in the field would discuss the case and impart to the audience their wisdom and knowledge garnered over years of caring for patients with that particular problem, might- a disease like AML, or lung cancer, or adrenal insufficiency, and talk about it not just from a pathophysiologic standpoint, but from a clinician standpoint. How do these patients present? What do you do? How do you go about diagnosing and what can you do to take care of those kinds of patients? It was very patient-centric. And often times the patient, him or herself, was presented at the grand rounds. And then experts sitting in the front row would often query the speaker and put him or her under a lot of stress to answer very specific questions about the case or about the disease itself. Over time, that evolved, and some would say devolved, but evolved into more specialized and nuanced presentations, generally without a patient present, or maybe even not even referred to, but very specifically about the molecular biology of disease, which is marvelous and wonderful to talk about, but not necessarily in a grand round setting where you've got cardiologists sitting next to endocrinologists, seated next to nephrologists, seated next to primary care physicians and, you know, an MS1 and an MS2 and et cetera. So it was very evident to me that what I had witnessed in my early years in medicine had really become more and more subspecialized. As a result, grand rounds, which used to be packed and standing room only, became echo chambers. It was like a C-SPAN presentation, you know, where local representative got up and gave a talk and the chambers were completely empty. And so we had to go to do things like force people to attend grand rounds like a Soviet Union-style rally or something, you know. You have to pay them to go. But it was really that observation that got me to thinking about it. And by the way, I love oncology and I'm, I think there's so much exciting progress that's being made that I want the presentations to be exciting to everybody, not just to the oncologist or the hematologist, for example. And what I was witnessing was kind of a formula that, almost like a pancake formula, that everybody followed the same rules. You know, “This disease is the third most common cancer and it presents in this way and that way.” And it was very, very formulaic. It wasn't energizing and exciting as it had been when we were discussing individual patients. So, you know, it just is what it is. I mean, progress is progress and you can't stop it. And I'm not trying to make America great again, you know, by going back to the 70s, but I do think sometimes we overthink what medical grand rounds ought to be as compared to a presentation at ASH or ASCO where you're talking to subspecialists who understand the nuances and you don't have to explain the abbreviations, you know, that type of thing. Dr. Mikkael SekeresSo I wonder, you talk about the echo chamber of the grand rounds nowadays, right? It's not as well attended. It used to be a packed event, and it used to be almost a who's who of, of who's in the department. You'd see some very famous people who would attend every grand rounds and some up-and-comers, and it was a chance for the chief residents to shine as well. How do you think COVID and the use of Zoom has changed the personality and energy of grand rounds? Is it better because, frankly, more people attend—they just attend virtually. Last time I attended, I mean, I attend our Department of Medicine grand rounds weekly, and I'll often see 150, 200 people on the Zoom. Or is it worse because the interaction's limited? Dr. David JohnsonYeah, I don't want to be one of those old curmudgeons that says, you know, the way it used to be is always better. But there's no question that the convenience of Zoom or similar media, virtual events, is remarkable. I do like being able to sit in my office where I am right now and watch a conference across campus that I don't have to walk 30 minutes to get to. I like that, although I need the exercise. But at the same time, I think one of the most important aspects of coming together is lost with virtual meetings, and that's the casual conversation that takes place. I mentioned in my essay an example of the grand rounds that I attended given by someone in a different specialty who was both a physician and a PhD in biochemistry, and he was talking about prostaglandin metabolism. And talk about a yawner of a title; you almost have to prop your eyelids open with toothpicks. But it turned out to be one of the most fascinating, engaging conversations I've ever encountered. And moreover, it completely opened my eyes to an area of research that I had not been exposed to at all. And it became immediately obvious to me that it was relevant to the area of my interest, which was lung cancer. This individual happened to be just studying colon cancer. He's not an oncologist, but he was studying colon cancer. But it was really interesting what he was talking about. And he made it very relevant to every subspecialist and generalist in the audience because he talked about how prostaglandin has made a difference in various aspects of human physiology. The other grand rounds which always sticks in my mind was presented by a long standing program director at my former institution of Vanderbilt. He's passed away many years ago, but he gave a fascinating grand rounds where he presented the case of a homeless person. I can't remember the title of his grand rounds exactly, but I think it was “Care of the Homeless” or something like that. So again, not something that necessarily had people rushing to the audience. What he did is he presented this case as a mysterious case, you know, “what is it?” And he slowly built up the presentation of this individual who repeatedly came to the emergency department for various and sundry complaints. And to make a long story short, he presented a case that turned out to be lead poisoning. Everybody was on the edge of their seat trying to figure out what it was. And he was challenging members of the audience and senior members of the audience, including the Cair, and saying, “What do you think?” And it turned out that the patient became intoxicated not by eating paint chips or drinking lead infused liquids. He was burning car batteries to stay alive and inhaling lead fumes, which itself was fascinating, you know, so it was a fabulous grand rounds. And I mean, everybody learned something about the disease that they might otherwise have ignored, you know, if it'd been a title “Lead Poisoning”, I'm not sure a lot of people would have shown up. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres That story, David, reminds me of Tracy Kidder, who's a master of the nonfiction narrative, will choose a subject and kind of just go into great depth about it, and that subject could be a person. And he wrote a book called Rough Sleepers about Jim O'Connell - and Jim O'Connell was one of my attendings when I did my residency at Mass General - and about his life and what he learned about the homeless. And it's this same kind of engaging, “Wow, I never thought about that.” And it takes you in a different direction. And you know, in your essay, you make a really interesting comment. You reflect that subspecialists, once eager to share their insight with the wider medical community, increasingly withdraw to their own specialty specific conferences, further fragmenting the exchange of knowledge across disciplines. How do you think this affects their ability to gain new insights into their research when they hear from a broader audience and get questions that they usually don't face, as opposed to being sucked into the groupthink of other subspecialists who are similarly isolated? Dr. David Johnson That's one of the reasons I chose to illustrate that prostaglandin presentation, because again, that was not something that I specifically knew much about. And as I said, I went to the grand rounds more out of a sense of obligation than a sense of engagement. Moreover, our Chair at that institution forced us to go, so I was there, not by choice, but I'm so glad I was, because like you say, I got insight into an area that I had not really thought about and that cross pollination and fertilization is really a critical aspect. I think that you can gain at a broad conference like Medical Grand Rounds as opposed to a niche conference where you're talking about APL. You know, everybody's an APL expert, but they never thought about diabetes and how that might impact on their research. So it's not like there's an ‘aha' moment at every Grand Rounds, but I do think that those kinds of broad based audiences can sometimes bring a different perspective that even the speaker, him or herself had not thought of. Dr. Mikkael SekeresI think that's a great place to end and to thank David Johnson, who's a clinical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and just penned the essay in JCO Art of Oncology Practice entitled "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last."

Triggered On Purpose: How to Use Everyday Items to Induce Change
Joe Tucker, CEO of Enveric Biosciences, is developing non-hallucinogenic psychedelic drugs that aim to induce neuroplasticity and beneficial changes in the brains of patients with mental health disorders. The FDA rejected the approval of MDMA for PTSD treatment due to concerns about the inability to run blind trials to separate the placebo effect from the effects of the drug. Enveric addresses the promise of neuroplastic drugs that stimulate the neural connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and amygdala without hallucinations. Joe explains, "And the problem, endemic to hallucinogenic psychedelics, is that there's no question in the patient's mind, in the doctor's mind, in everybody's mind whether or not they got an hallucinogenic agent. And so when everybody knows whether they got it or not, that's what you call functional unblinding. And so the FDA was very concerned about this. They said you must be able to separate the placebo from the actual drug. Until we see data that gives us confidence that you separated it, we can't approve it, even though it looks like a very positive impact for the patients." "We were looking precisely to see if we could remove the hallucination without removing the benefit. So that's the field we're in. What's it being called right now? It's a very, very new field being called the non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen- neuroplastogen indicating that it induces neuroplasticity, in other words, rewiring of the brain, but does so without inducing hallucination. We saw two challenges coming: How do you separate placebo from non-placebo effect and the treatment?" "Then the idea would be, hopefully, this psychedelic treatment was so impactful, you didn't need to take any other treatment again for a long period of time. And that seems pretty aspirational, honestly, and likely to get in the way of real patient acceptance that you want something which is not so sort of rock your world. Most people don't want that. They like to be able to have a drug that is like, take an aspirin. You take it every day. You don't have a big impact. You can go about your life. You don't really notice it other than you feel better. And that's the idea behind the non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogen. It fits much more in line with what patients are looking for and expecting and doctors, the whole healthcare system. It just makes a lot more sense." #MentalHealth #MentalHealthDisorders #MentalHealthEpidemic #Depression #Anxiety #PTSD #Neuroplastogens #Psychedelics enveric.com Listen to the podcast here

In today's episode, I'm sharing my third-trimester update, including how my insulin sensitivity has shifted during this time and the steps I'm taking to prepare for the hospital, labor, and delivery.I've chosen to open up about my birth plan because, whether you share similar preferences or have a completely different approach, advocacy is such an important part of the process. I'll talk about how I've been navigating conversations with my high-risk team and the hospital staff to stay aligned with my vision, even when their suggestions differ from my plan.Birth plans are deeply personal, and I know not everyone will agree with all of my thoughts. But I believe it's worth sharing my journey openly, especially when it comes to induction and other big decisions.My hope is that this episode inspires you to trust your body, advocate for what feels right, and feel empowered in your own decisions—whatever they may be.Time Stamps: 04:12 My Blood Sugar Management in 3rd Trimester - why it's been easier11:40 My Birth Plan, Intuition, and to Induce or Not25:44 Advocating for Your Birth Choices31:27 Three Notes from My Birth Plan and ReflectionsWhat to do now:Follow me @lauren_bongiorno and @riselyhealth on Instagram to stay in the loop when new episodes drop.Preparing for pregnancy in 2025?
