In this episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with Greg Lee, founder of the Lime Research and Healing Center, to explore the hidden infectious and inflammatory triggers that often keep chronic illness patients stuck. From Lyme disease and mold toxicity to gut dysfunction and neurotransmitter imbalances, this conversation dives into why conventional approaches sometimes fall short — and what root-cause, frequency-based therapies can offer instead. Greg shares his personal journey from working at NASA to navigating debilitating gut symptoms, brain fog, and anxiety, and how discovering integrative medicine transformed his health and career path. If you've been searching for answers beyond a diagnosis, this episode sheds light on advanced tools and holistic strategies designed to address the deeper drivers of chronic inflammation. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

Infection control consultant Katherine West breaks down the latest HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) guidelines published in mid-2025. Highlighting key changes since the 2013 update, she explains the shift toward less toxic antiretroviral regimens, elimination of routine baseline lab testing for PEP, and new protocols for exposures involving patients with undetectable viral loads. West emphasizes the importance of expert follow-up care, clarifies who is responsible for source patient testing, and underscores the low risk of occupational HIV transmission. She also discusses challenges faced by emergency providers managing exposures outside regular occupational health hours and the role of 24/7 consultation services. The segment covers legal nuances, especially OSHA and state laws regarding HIV testing consent, and reiterates the CDC's push for routine HIV screening to aid in the national goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030.
In this third collaboration between SIDP's Breakpoints and ESCMID's Communicable podcasts, hosts Erin McCreary and Angela Huttner invite two veteran authors of guidelines and guidances, Pranita Tamma (Philadelphia, USA) and Benedikt Huttner (WHO, Geneva, Switzerland) [1-3]. Together, they deconstruct the complex landscape of developing and implementing guidelines into digestible components: they discuss why different organizations develop guidelines and what need they hope to fulfil, the framework including the GRADE methodology under which guidelines are written, and major barriers in the uptake of guidelines. The conversation also details the distinction between guideline and guidance as well as the art and science behind formulating recommendations or suggestions, with a few anecdotal cases sprinkled in from the panel. This episode was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and Lacy Worden. It was peer reviewed for Breakpoints by Lacy Worden and for Communicable by Ljiljana Lukić of University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia.

The latest Georgia Tech Research Podcast episode for the Agricultural Technology Research Program (ATRP) focuses on the Georgia Tech Diggle Lab (www.thedigglelab.com). This episode discusses cross-campus collaboration between GTRI's ATRP and GT's Diggle Lab. The Lab's director is Dr. Steve Diggle (hence, the name). The Diggle Lab is based in the Center for Microbial Dynamics and Infection (part of the School of Biological Sciences) at Georgia Tech. Its primary objective is to gain a deeper understanding of microbial interactions and social behaviors, with a focus on their impact on virulence, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and the development of therapeutic strategies. A prominent project is an investigation of the antibiotic-resistant superbug, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified as a "critical threat" in health care environments. GTRI and the Diggle Lab collaborated on research focused on bio-based wound dressings and antibiotic resistance. The collaboration has led to has developed piacens, protein-based antimicrobial structures that target specific bacteria without causing resistance. The lab also explored ancient biotics, recreating a 1,000-year-old recipe that effectively treated Staphylococcus aureus. The collaboration aims to address antibiotic resistance and biofilm issues in poultry and industrial settings, leveraging piacens' precision and stability.

In this episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with naturopathic physician Dr. John Lieurance for a wide-ranging conversation about the hidden drivers of modern chronic illness — and why he believes the conversation around health is only just beginning.Dr. Lieurance explains how mitochondrial health, inflammation, toxic exposures, and chronic infections may play a larger role in disease than many people realize. He discusses emerging research around cellular energy production, oxidative stress, and the body's ability to adapt to environmental stressors, outlining how lifestyle, detoxification pathways, and microbiome balance can influence long-term resilience.The conversation also explores controversial topics in modern health care, including medical freedom, evolving approaches to chronic disease, and why individualized protocols — rather than one-size-fits-all solutions — may shape the future of wellness. Dr. Lieurance shares clinical insights from his practice, discusses new therapeutic approaches being explored in integrative medicine, and highlights the importance of empowering individuals to take an active role in their own health decisions.Whether you're curious about biohacking, longevity science, or the future of preventive medicine, this episode challenges conventional thinking and asks an important question: Are we focusing on managing disease instead of addressing its root causes?Understanding Hypophosphatemia: Recognition, Diagnosis, and TreatmentEndocrine experts distinguish Hypophosphatemia from osteoporosis & osteomalaciaListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

In this episode, Regan Archibald breaks down why emotional health isn't “soft”—it's biochemical. He introduces the EPIC triggers (Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals) and focuses on how emotions leave a measurable chemical trail that can either support health or accelerate inflammation. Using examples like anger increasing inflammatory signaling (including IL-6) and gratitude/joy supporting nitric oxide and vascular function, Regan explains how repeated emotional patterns can rewire the brain, shape immune behavior, and even override diet, exercise, and supplements if left unmanaged. The takeaway: practice the pause, choose your response, and build gratitude and connection on purpose. Consistency in emotional regulation can shift physiology toward resilience, recovery, and better long-term health.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Guest: Andrew Baker DDS MD https://www.instagram.com/andyomfs/ Guest: Jaclyn Tomsic DMD MD https://www.jaclyntomsic.com/about-jacci Host: Serv Wahan DMD MD https://www.drwahan.com/ Keywords local anesthesia, dental techniques, oral surgery, anesthesia management, patient comfort, dental education, anesthesia challenges, dental procedures, pain management, dental injections, Jacci Tomsic, Andrew baker, Dr. Wahan, IAN block Summary In this conversation, oral surgeons Andy Baker and Jacci Tomsic discuss the importance of local anesthesia techniques in dental procedures. They share their personal experiences and methods for administering anesthesia, including the use of topical anesthetics, buffering solutions, and various injection techniques. The discussion also covers challenges faced during inferior alveolar nerve blocks, managing patient anxiety, and addressing common questions about local anesthesia. The conversation emphasizes the significance of effective pain management and the need for continuous learning in the field of oral surgery. Takeaways Local anesthesia is crucial for effective dental procedures. Topical anesthetics can significantly improve patient comfort. Buffering local anesthetics may reduce pain during injections. Injection techniques vary among practitioners but should prioritize patient comfort. Managing patient anxiety is essential for successful anesthesia administration. Infections can complicate anesthesia effectiveness due to pH levels. Communication with patients about their comfort is vital during procedures. Using a variety of techniques can enhance anesthesia success rates. Understanding individual patient anatomy is key to effective anesthesia. Continuous education and adaptation of techniques are important in oral surgery.

This episode was originally released on December 13, 2022Stop the presses! New research shows that viruses locked in the Arctic permafrost for thousands of years have the potential to infect present-day organisms. Accompanied with a warming planet, this issue is really starting to thaw out. So what can brave scientists and institutions on the frontlines of tracking diseases do about it? And how can understanding our genomic history with diseases over thousands of years better prepare us in the fight to overcome them?Dr. Kaylee Byers starts our journey by slinking into a disease-tracking genomics lab at Simon Fraser University to meet Dr. Michael Trimble and Dr. Will Hsiao to understand the challenge of outpacing the rapid evolution of viruses. Then she pops across the ocean to speak with Dr. Birgitta Evengård and Dr. Jean-Michel Claverie about whether the Pandora's box of ancient diseases frozen in the arctic have the potential to become the next global outbreak as temperatures warm. Plus, we unearth ancient burial sites in Vietnam with Dr. Melandri Vlok, to investigate how climate change exacerbates the tension between human health and pathogens.Special thanks to Dr. Will Hsiao and Dr. Michael Trimble for allowing us to record with them at Simon Fraser University.Resources:1.

In this episode of Communicable, Navaneeth Narayanan and Josh Nosanchuk invite Virginie Lemiale and Elie Azoulay (Paris, France) as well as fellow editor Emily McDonald (Montreal, Canada)—this time as guest—to discuss adjunctive steroid therapy for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-negative individuals. In 2025, Lemiale and Azoulay published results from their double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating steroid treatment for severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PIC trial) in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine [1]. At first glance, one might dismiss the study's clinical impact due the ‘negative' result of the primary outcome, mortality at 28 days, which just missed a statistically significant difference between groups. There was a clinical difference, however, and all other outcomes, including 90-day mortality, were significantly different between groups. Understanding how pivotal these results were to clinical practice, McDonald and colleagues sought to contextualise the results of the PIC trial through a Bayesian analysis in a follow-up publication [2]. While the discussion provides useful clinical commentary, it also helps both to demystify Bayesian analysis and to call attention to what might be lost with strict or overly concrete interpretations of traditional frequentist analyses. This episode was peer reviewed by Arjana Zerja from the Mother Theresa University Hospital Center, Tirana, Albania.ReferencesLemiale V, et al.

Send us a textIn this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch to break down what he calls the “Toxic Five,” the root drivers he sees behind long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome: heavy metals, chemicals, molds, infections, and nervous system dysfunction (trauma).Dr. Hirsch explains where common exposures come from (including mercury from dental fillings and higher mercury levels in larger fish), why toxic burden can start before birth, and how chemicals and plastics accumulate over time. He also shares why testing can be imperfect and why relying too heavily on labs can leave people stuck, plus what he believes actually moves the needle when someone has chronic fatigue or long COVID symptoms.They also dive into mold, why proper remediation matters, and why incomplete remediation can keep people in a cycle of re-exposure and stalled progress.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to the Toxic Five02:53 Understanding Heavy Metals and Their Sources05:47 Chemical Exposures and Their Impact09:01 Nervous System Dysfunction and Trauma11:56 The Role of Infections in Chronic Illness15:10 The Importance of Testing and Treatment18:07 The Impact of Mold on Health21:12 The Process of Mold Remediation23:48 Chronic Fatigue and Its Assessment26:55 The Energy MD Program Overview30:05 Mindset and Its Role in Healing33:11 Conspiracies and Truths in Medicine36:05 Final Thoughts and Encouragement-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adolescent obesity is rapidly turning into a worldwide health emergency. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 160 million children and teenagers ages 5 to 19 are now overweight or obese A new study from the University of Gothenburg collected data from nearly one million Swedish men and found that obese teenagers are more likely to experience severe infections later in life Obesity is a chronic medical condition characterized by excess body fat that impairs health and leads to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, and metabolic issues that tend to worsen over time Body mass index (BMI) has traditionally been the standard for assessing weight and health, but it has come under scrutiny because it frequently misclassifies risk You can tackle obesity at its root by eliminating metabolic health hazards like seed oils and ultraprocessed foods and instead, choosing healthy carbs and walking more
2/01/2026The Healthy Matters PodcastS05_E08 - Where Are We with HIV in 2026?With Special Guests: Dr. Amanda Noska, MD HIV in 2026 looks much different than it did when it first hit mainstream media in the early 1980s. At the outset, there was an abundance of fear, very little understanding, and even less hope for those afflicted. But over the last few decades, we've seen a series of major scientific breakthroughs that have changed our understanding and patient outcomes almost entirely. But there's still plenty of work to do!On Episode 8, we'll have an in-depth conversation with infectious disease expert Dr. Amanda Noska (MD, MPH) to catch us up on the current state of both HIV and AIDS. We'll cover the basics of these conditions, the progress that's been made, the current challenges we face, and what the road ahead looks like for our local and global communities. This storyline is definitely one of hope and a great example of scientific progress in medicine.

Dr. Kelly Blodgett returns to The Root of the Matter for a heartfelt conversation about his new book, Feel Whole Again, and the profound intersection of psychology, human connection, and dentistry. With a background in psychology and over 30 years in practice, Dr. Blodgett shares why understanding a patient's mindset, emotions, and intuition is just as important as clinical expertise. This episode dives deep into the power of truly listening, the limitations of symptom-focused healthcare, and how treating the whole person (not just the teeth) can transform lives.What You'll LearnWhy Dr. Blodgett wrote Feel Whole Again and how his psychology degree shaped his approach to dentistryThe often-overlooked connection between thoughts, beliefs, and physical health outcomesReal patient stories of transformation, from feeling hopeless to reclaiming vitalityWhy biological dentistry treats the mouth as a whole system, and why that matters for predictable healingThe role of nutrition and prep work before dental surgeryHow social isolation and mindset can be the missing pieces in chronic illnessWhat to look for (and ask) when choosing a biological dentistThe energy component of oral health, and why removing toxicity is essentialKey Quotes"Listen to the patient. He's telling you the diagnosis.""Every cell of your body is listening to your thoughts."Patient Transformation StoriesDr. Blodgett shares two powerful cases of women from Seattle who felt like they were losing hope in their health journeys. One, a chronic smoker who hadn't chewed real food in 20 years, went through a comprehensive protocol of nutrition, mindset work, and full-mouth rehabilitation, and by the end of the year, she was biting through sandwiches and kissing her husband without worry. The other, a former triathlete whose health tanked after incomplete dental work, underwent proper cavitation and bone cleaning and is now back to training for triathlons.Resources MentionedFeel Whole Again by Dr. Kelly Blodgett, available on Amazon (ebook, paperback, hardback)IABDM (International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine): iabdm.orgBio Dental Global Standard by Dr. Dominic NischwitzMegan Barnett, Functional NutritionistRoot Cause Protocol (Morley Robbins)Connect with Dr. Kelly BlodgettPractice Website: blodgettdentalcare.comCoaching & Speaking: drkellyjblodgett.comConnect with Dr. Carver Join the 6-Week Gum Disease Course: https://reversegumdiseaseinsixweeks.info/optinpageBook Your Personalized Consultation: https://calendly.com/drcarver-1/health-coaching-consult?month=2025-10Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

The Bad News: You Are the Infection…The Good News: You Are The Cure! Stop looking at your P&L statement to find the source of your company's struggles—look in the mirror. We often say that our personal lives affect our business, like a gentle breeze. But on this week's episode of A New Direction, I am challenging that soft definition. As a Behavioral Strategist, I'm showing you why your personal problems actually INFECT your business like a virus. Whether it's financial fear, lack of sleep, or hidden insecurity, if the leader is sick, the business is dying. You might just be “Patient Zero.” We are going to dive deep into the science of “Cortisol Contagion” and why your stress is literally infecting your employees’ blood chemistry. Are you the leader who wakes up at 2:00 AM to fire off emails? You might think you're being productive, but you are actually spreading the “Adrenaline Virus” and creating a culture of false urgency that kills performance. If your people aren’t selling, or your turnover is high, it's not the economy—it's an infection, and I'm going to show you how to diagnose it. This isn’t just theory; we are doing the work. I'm going to walk you through the “Sent Folder Autopsy”—a practical homework assignment you can do the moment the show ends to see exactly where you are leaking stress into your team that is creating an infection. We are going to move past the symptoms of “bad sales” and “no time” to treat the root cause: the behavior of the leader. You cannot heal the business until you heal yourself. Join me, Coach Jay Izso, for this solo “Family Meeting” edition of A New Direction. Bring your notepad and your honesty—we are scrubbing up and performing surgery on the behaviors holding you back, and killing the infection.

The Missing Piece to Your Success As a business leader or founder, you often carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You have the vision, the drive, and the strategy, yet sometimes it feels like you are hitting an invisible ceiling. The truth is, the biggest barrier to your company's growth isn’t usually the market or the economy—it is human behavior. As a Behavioral Strategist, I help you decode the psychological patterns that are silently sabotaging your culture, your execution, and your personal leadership. I don’t just tell you what to change; I help you understand why those behaviors exist so you can finally break through the noise and lead with absolute clarity and confidence. Your potential is limitless, but only if you are willing to look at the human element of your business through a new lens.

A growing number of post-pandemic reports have described cancer diagnoses, recurrence, or progression following COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection. While no causal relationship has been established, these observations raise important questions that warrant careful, hypothesis-driven investigation. The rapid development and global distribution of mRNA and viral vector vaccines during the pandemic was a landmark achievement in public health, essential in reducing severe COVID-19 cases and mortality. However, the novelty of these vaccines and the absence of long-term carcinogenicity or genotoxicity testing have led some researchers to ask whether rare but biologically plausible interactions with cancer pathways might exist. At the same time, pandemic-related disruptions in routine cancer screening and treatment were anticipated to influence diagnosis patterns. Yet, some reports have described unexpected phenomena, such as rapid disease progression in previously stable cancers or tumor appearance near injection sites, that are not easily explained by delayed care alone. The Review: Examining 69 Studies on Cancer Diagnoses After COVID-19 Vaccination or Infection In a review published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget, titled “COVID vaccination and post-infection cancer signals: Evaluating patterns and potential biological mechanisms,” Charlotte Kuperwasser (Tufts University) and Oncotarget Editor-in-Chief Wafik S. El-Deiry (The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University) examined 69 peer-reviewed publications spanning January 2020 to October 2025.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Evelyne Vinet about a new study examining whether TNF inhibitors increase the risk of serious infections during pregnancy among women with chronic inflammatory diseases. Using large real-world data from the MarketScan database, the discussion explores how pregnancy, inflammatory disease, TNF inhibitor exposure, and serious infections were defined, how confounders were addressed, and what the data reveal across pregnancy and the postpartum period. Dr. Vinet also reflects on study limitations, the impact of COVID-19, and her broader work on pregnancy outcomes and long-term child health in rheumatic diseases, offering insights for clinicians and researchers alike.
