In this episode, Subhi Saadeh sits down with Steven Kaufman, Founder of Combination Product Solutions, Inc. and fractional Chief Commercial Officer at Portal Instruments, to discuss where the drug delivery device market is headed and what it takes for new technologies to actually make it to patients.Steven brings more than 21 years of experience across drug delivery and combination products, spanning strategy, business development, commercialization, consulting, and executive leadership.The conversation explores what makes a drug delivery device commercially successful in 2026, why pharma companies can be hesitant to adopt unproven technologies, and how device companies can differentiate in an increasingly crowded market. Steven also discusses the growth of larger-volume subcutaneous delivery, the tradeoffs between reusable and disposable devices, sustainability, primary container strategy, and the changing role of sales and business development in drug delivery.Subhi and Steven also dig into oral GLP-1s and whether oral drugs could ultimately displace injectables. Steven explains why route of administration alone does not determine the better solution — efficacy, patient adherence, cost, usability, and the overall treatment experience all matter.The episode closes with Steven looking ahead to 2035 and explaining why he believes sustainability will be one of the major forces shaping the next generation of drug delivery devices.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Steven's Drug Delivery “Bookshelf”02:24 From Marketing to Drug Delivery Strategy06:10 What Makes a Device Commercially Successful in 2026?11:11 Is the Large-Volume Injection Market Getting Crowded?14:28 The Chicken-and-Egg Problem With New Device Technologies19:25 CDAs, Proprietary Information and Working With New Suppliers22:31 How Do You Sell a Drug Delivery Device in 2026?29:17 Why Drug Delivery Is Still “Sexy”31:20 Oral Drugs, Adherence and the Mucinex Horse Pill33:18 Reusable Devices and Human Factors35:22 Sustainability as a Drug Delivery Market Force39:32 Cartridge vs. Prefilled Syringe43:57 If You Had to Bet on One Drug Delivery Trend Through 203546:55 IV Drugs and the Shift Toward Subcutaneous Delivery49:15 Steven's Book Recommendation: Make Your Bed51:22 Where to Find StevenSteven Kaufman BioSteven Kaufman is the Founder of Combination Product Solutions, Inc. and a drug delivery and combination product executive with more than 21 years of industry experience.His career has spanned device strategy, commercialization, business development, consulting, executive leadership, and entrepreneurship.

For decades, drug development has been saddled with costly manufacturing, stringent biosafety requirements, and the limits of conventional carriers. But a new approach—born from cell-derived nanovesicles—could democratize access to advanced therapies and open entirely new doors for oral, topical, and even global vaccine delivery.This week, David Brühlmann welcomes Christopher Locher, CEO and Co-founder of Versatope Therapeutics. Christopher has shaped the translation of novel vesicle technology from idea to clinical pipeline, navigating both the science and the unstructured realm of first-in-class GMP manufacturing.Topics discussed:Tackling GMP manufacturing challenges and analytics development from scratch (00:34)Deciding what to outsource vs. insource as a small biotech, and the value of a robust tech transfer process (02:25)Perspectives on partnering with CDMOs versus managing manufacturing and analytics in-house (02:40)Geographic expansion goals and considerations for delivering low-cost biologics in underserved markets (04:26)Differentiators of Versatope's platform—endotoxin-free processes and non-pathogenic strains (05:05)Key advice on critical quality attributes and early regulatory planning for Phase 1 readiness (06:19)Lessons learned as a biotech founder—getting support, leveraging networks, and planning cost-effectively (07:57)Understanding end users, leveraging I-Corps™, and customer discovery in early product development (09:04)The science and promise of engineered nanovesicles: delivery routes, biological origins, and research applications (10:12)Business models for platform out-licensing and potential for co-development partnerships (12:58)Practical takeaways for scientists: setting "good enough" standards and focusing on lean, regulatory-aligned development (13:28)Smart insight: Christopher is honest about his blind spots, learning on the fly from CMC consultants, and the practical importance of “good enough” regulatory solutions delivers sharp advice for anyone charting the long road from discovery to human trials. Think monoclonal analytics, batch consistency, and the art of prioritization, all from someone who's made it work with a small team and limited resourcesIf Christopher's vesicle platform has you thinking about building a novel modality on an unconventional host, these four episodes go deeper on alternative production systems, microbial scale-up, and the CMC and cost decisions that get a first-in-class biologic to patients.Episodes 217 - 218: Silkworm Biomanufacturing: From Ancient Silk Production to Phase I Vaccine Trials with Masafumi OsawaEpisodes 239 - 240: Continuous Microbial Manufacturing: From Genetic Instability to 40-Day E. coli Processes with Juergen MairhoferEpisodes 231 - 232: From IND to BLA: The Biologics CMC Decisions That Determine Regulatory Success with Henri KornmannEpisodes 267 - 268: Why Affordable Insulin Is a Money Problem, Not a Science Problem with Eric MoyalConnect with Christopher Locher:Website: www.versatope.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-locher-biotechSupport the show

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you decide to go assisted - but the people closest to you don't know?In this honest solo episode, Sarah explores one of the most overlooked parts of using performance-enhancing drugs in bodybuilding: having an open conversation with the people you live with and love.Sarah shares her personal experience of telling her mother about her decision to use testosterone, including how she prepared for the conversation, explained her reasoning and approached it from a place of informed decision-making rather than secrecy.But this isn't simply a conversation about steroids or bodybuilding. It's about trust, relationships, transparency and understanding how your choices can affect the people around you.Sarah discusses why role-reversal can be such a useful way to approach the conversation: if someone you loved made this decision, how would you feel finding out later - especially if you noticed changes in their mood, energy, sleep, sex drive or behaviour?We also explore why some people choose to keep their assisted journey private, the emotional weight that secrecy can create, and why there is no single right answer when it comes to disclosure.In this episode:• Should you tell your partner or family you're going assisted?• Sarah's experience telling her mother about steroid use• How to prepare for a difficult conversation• Why transparency and informed decision-making matter• How bodybuilding can look from the perspective of someone outside the sport• Potential changes in mood, sleep, energy and sex drive• The impact of secrecy on relationships• Why your home environment matters• Injectables and the practical realities of keeping use private• The importance of understanding risk vs. reward• Why due diligence matters before using any compound• How to involve your coach in navigating these conversationsThis episode isn't about telling you what decision to make.It's about encouraging honesty, preparation, self-awareness and consideration for the people who may be affected by that decision.Because going assisted doesn't happen in isolation - and sometimes the hardest conversation isn't with your coach.It's with the people who love you.Watch this episode here: https://youtu.be/dGI-J46Bqt0Find Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

What if the best way to unlock durable, broad-spectrum immunity is to rethink the very vessels delivering our vaccines?While much of the industry focuses on refining existing delivery systems, Christopher Locher is charting a new course—one inspired by nature's own couriers. Imagine a future where oral vaccines and modular, on-demand manufacturing aren't just possibilities, but standard practice.Christopher Locher, CEO and Co-founder of Versatope Therapeutics, brings decades of experience in drug discovery from Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Opsona Therapeutics, and Maxigen. In this episode, he shares his journey from high school science classrooms to the helm of a company pioneering recombinant extracellular transport vesicles—nanovesicles that promise to transform vaccine delivery and immunomodulation.Topics discussed:How basic scientific curiosity and the inspiration from teachers sparked Christopher's career in biotechnology (03:39)The unmet needs in vaccine development for infectious and parasitic diseases, especially in regions below the equator (04:17)Engineering nanovesicles as immunomodulators and drug delivery vehicles, using microbial bioreactors for production (06:38)Co-producing proteins and vesicles in a single process, and the flexibility of the platform (08:28)Key benefits of Versatope's platform, such as cost efficiency, stability, and commercial scalability compared to mammalian exosomes (09:53)Prospects for multi-specific vaccines and the future direction for scalable bioprocessing (11:47)Adapting manufacturing processes and overcoming logistical challenges—from COVID-related shutdowns to supply chain bottlenecks (12:21)Strategies for navigating evolving regulatory requirements with agencies like the FDA, and experience with fast IND allowance (14:53)Analytical and characterization challenges of complex nanovesicle-based products versus simpler platforms like antibodies (17:30)The vision for decentralized or local vaccine manufacturing, especially in resource-limited settings (19:12)Smart insight: Christopher Locher highlighted that the FDA allowed their IND submission for a universal influenza vaccine in less than a month after review—and notably, with no hold clinical questions—when it was submitted just before the Christmas holidays and allowed on January 19th, 2025. This rapid regulatory turn-around was made possible by a strong regulatory team and collaborative CDMO efforts, showcasing how innovative platforms and well-prepared submissions can accelerate early-stage clinical development in biotech.If Christopher's vesicle platform has you thinking about building a novel modality on an unconventional host, these four episodes go deeper on alternative production systems, microbial scale-up, and the CMC and cost decisions that get a first-in-class biologic to patients.Episodes 217 - 218: Silkworm Biomanufacturing: From Ancient Silk Production to Phase I Vaccine Trials with Masafumi OsawaEpisodes 239 - 240: Continuous Microbial Manufacturing: From Genetic Instability to 40-Day E. coli Processes with Juergen MairhoferEpisodes 231 - 232: From IND to BLA: The Biologics CMC Decisions That Determine Regulatory Success with Henri KornmannEpisodes 267 - 268: Why Affordable Insulin Is a Money Problem, Not a Science Problem with Eric MoyalConnect with Christopher Locher:Website: www.versatope.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-locher-biotechSupport the show

Injectable Peptides, Influencers, and Why You Still Got to Lift Lonnie Lowery and Dr. Mike T. Nelson (Phil Stevens out with internet issues) open with an article, "Influencers are promoting dangerous peptides on social media, and regulators are struggling to keep up," detailing how unapproved injectable peptides have moved from niche bodybuilding forums into mainstream social media marketing via before-and-after claims and discount codes. The hosts debate what actually makes these compounds dangerous - the specific amino acid sequence and receptor interactions versus contamination, storage, and immune reactions from the injectable route itself - and connect it back to the show's core message: "you got to lift, bro." They discuss how influencer-driven peptide use sells the promise of results with minimal effort, contrast it with the disciplined training culture of 1980s and '90s PED-era bodybuilders, and share an anecdote from an ISSN conference where two of the field's top protein researchers agreed exercise outweighs protein for muscle retention. Mike notes the near-complete absence of controlled human trials on peptides like BPC-157 and mitochondrial compounds such as BAM15, the confound of concurrent TRT use, and the difficulty of testing vague, subjective outcomes like energy or recovery. They close by discussing the FDA's recent move allowing compounding pharmacies to produce certain peptides and the need for a legitimate, IRB-approved research effort - modeled on how ISSN itself began - to generate real safety and efficacy data before regulators are forced into further reactive policy. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 00:20 Host Introductions and Hypoxic Training Chat 03:25 You Got to Lift Theme Introduction 03:38 Peptide News Segment Setup 03:55 Article on Peptide Influencers 08:11 Amino Acids or Real Drugs Debate 14:27 Immune Reactions and Storage Risks 20:25 Bypassing Effort and the 80s-90s PED Era 27:03 VO2 Max and Measuring Progress 29:47 ISSN Anecdote: Exercise vs Protein 31:16 Microgravity and Human Need for Stimulus 34:21 Mitochondrial Peptides and TRT Confounds 36:42 Rick Collins and the Data Vacuum 40:13 Path to Legitimate IRB-Approved Studies 40:55 Wrap Up 42:29 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Being booked feels like proof that the business is working. But if most of that schedule is filled with injectables, the revenue can look much stronger than the profit underneath it. Product costs, provider compensation, commissions, memberships, and discounting can leave very little behind—even when the calendar is full.  In this solo episode, I break down why injectables need to be evaluated as part of your full service mix instead of carrying the entire growth strategy. I also explain how to organize your P&L by treatment category, calculate what patients actually contribute in gross profit, and use comprehensive treatment plans to improve both patient retention and practice profitability. A Full Injectable Schedule Can Still Produce Weak Profit  Injectables are often one of the largest revenue categories in a medical aesthetics practice. They bring patients through the door, create recurring appointments, and can help establish long-term relationships. But with supply costs, injector compensation, commissions, and discounts factored in, gross margins may only land around 30% to 40%.  That does not leave much room to cover the rest of the business. Rent, administrative payroll, marketing, software, and other operating expenses still have to come out of what remains. When injectables dominate the schedule without enough higher-margin services around them, a busy practice can still struggle to generate healthy cash flow.  Your P&L Should Show Which Services Actually Make Money  A single revenue line labeled "services" does not give you enough information to manage the practice. You need to see how much revenue each treatment category produces and what it costs to deliver those services. Keep the categories simple enough to review consistently, but specific enough to reveal where your profit is coming from.  Group revenue into four or five core categories, such as injectables, aesthetic services, beauty services, laser treatments, and surgical services  Match each category with its direct supply costs, provider labor, and commission expenses  Calculate gross margin by treatment category instead of relying only on the practice-wide average  Separate package revenue collected from the revenue earned as treatments are delivered  Compare patient lifetime revenue with the gross profit that patient generates  Review how memberships and discounts affect margins over time  Track which services lead to repeat visits and broader treatment plans  You do not need dozens of categories or an overly complicated financial report. You need enough visibility to understand the composition of your revenue. Just as body composition tells you more than weight alone, your service mix tells you far more than total sales.  (00:00:00) Why injectables are difficult to price (00:05:41) Balancing the P&L with service margins (00:08:27) Mapping revenue and profit by treatment (00:10:27) Calculating patient lifetime value (00:14:01) Challenging assumptions about patient budgets (00:17:42) Improving retention through treatment plans  Treatment Plans Create More Value Than One-Off Appointments  Patients may come in asking for Botox or another familiar service, but that does not mean they understand every option available to them. A strong consultation starts with the result they want, then maps out the treatments that can realistically help them get there. Present the full recommendation before making assumptions about what they can afford. Let the patient decide what to pursue, what to postpone, and how quickly to move through the plan. That is consultative selling: educating the patient, setting expectations, and helping them make an informed decision without down selling for them.   A written treatment plan also gives the relationship room to grow. One injectable appointment can become the start of a longer patient journey that includes laser treatments, skincare, and other services that genuinely support their goals.  A Stronger Service Mix Makes Growth More Sustainable  When one treatment category carries too much of the practice, changes in product costs, provider capacity, or local pricing can quickly put pressure on the entire business. A more balanced service mix combines the retention benefits of injectables with treatments that produce stronger margins and make better use of the team, equipment, and space you already have. This gives you a healthier patient lifetime value, more recurring revenue, and a clearer picture of what the practice can support as it grows. It also helps you make better decisions about pricing, inventory, staffing, equipment purchases, and future expansion.  A full schedule should create more than activity. It should generate enough gross profit to fund the next stage of the practice.

Dr. Trehan shares practical tips that will help so many warriors, including one smart strategy for finding the right dentist.

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. Then the correction. The data coming off these electrodes is a train of spikes, the same electrical language every neuron in your head is already using, and decoding it tells you whether a person meant to move a cursor left or right. Reading an emotion, or what someone thinks of you, is nowhere close. The second half turns to the brain Lawton has spent 29 years operating inside. He describes cooling a patient to 15 degrees Celsius and stopping their circulation completely, which shrivels a giant aneurysm like a raisin and opens a short window to repair it. He explains why the hardest cases will still need a pair of human hands, and what he tells trainees who think their craft is disappearing. On brain aging he is direct about what works. He predicts alcohol will be viewed in 20 years the way cigarettes were viewed in the 60s, he takes zero supplements and no peptides, and he says exactly what he can and cannot see when he looks at a living brain on the table. You'll also hear about Barrow's Mindgenuity Labs and its six mysteries of the mind, why he ranks movement as the first one to fall and consciousness as the one that may never be solved, what he believes consciousness physically is inside 86 billion neurons, and the ground underneath all of it. His sister died of a brain tumor. Louisa's father had a stroke in 2019. Both of them have watched this from the other side of the table. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code XXXXX for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro Use code XXXXX for a discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code NEURO for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro for a 20% discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Facial appearance carries some of the strongest signals of gender, and small, precise changes can shift how a face reads to the world. Dr. Lawrence Bass and returning guest Dr. Jason Bloom, co-director of the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, walk through the standard menu of facial feminization and masculinization work: brow shape, nasal bridge and tip, forehead slope, cheek volume, and jaw and chin contour. They compare implants, fat grafting, and fillers for each area, and explain why male-to-female changes tend to be reductive while female-to-male changes tend to be additive. Dr. Bloom shares how neuromodulators and fillers let people preview a look and adjust brow height or cheek volume with real precision, without surgery or anesthesia. Insurance coverage, cost, and the reality that this work is ongoing rather than one-and-done round out the conversation. The takeaway: there is no single template for a masculine or feminine face, and the right surgeon listens to what a person wants rather than repeating one signature style. About Dr. Jason Bloom Dr. Jason Bloom is a facial plastic surgeon in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and co-director of the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his fellowship at New York University and Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. Questions answered by this episode: 1. What is facial feminization surgery? 2.

Why is male-to-female facial affirmation usually reductive while female-to-male is usually additive? 7. Can fillers be used to try out a look before committing to surgery? 8. Does insurance cover facial feminization surgery or gender-affirming fillers? 9. How has gender-affirming facial surgery changed over the past few decades?10.

When cash flow gets tight, most practice owners look at revenue first. But one of the biggest drains on your cash may already be sitting on your shelves. Excess inventory doesn't just take up space—it ties up working capital, increases expiration risk, and quietly chips away at your margins.  In this episode, I break down why inventory management deserves more attention in your financial strategy and share practical ways to manage injectables, retail skincare, and consumables more effectively. Small changes in how you purchase, track, and replenish inventory can have a meaningful impact on your cash reserves and overall profitability.  Buying More Inventory Doesn't Always Save You Money  Bulk discounts can be tempting, but they're not always the best financial decision. Purchasing more product than you can realistically use may lower your cost per unit, but it also locks up cash that could be used for payroll, marketing, or other growth opportunities.  Inventory should support your practice—not compete with it for cash. Before placing a large order, consider your usage rate, seasonality, payment terms, and how quickly that inventory will actually generate revenue.  Every Product Category Needs a Different Strategy  Not all inventory should be managed the same way. Injectables, retail skincare, and everyday consumables each serve a different purpose in your practice and carry different levels of financial risk. Creating category-specific inventory strategies helps improve cash flow, reduce waste, and ensure you're investing in products that support both patient demand and long-term profitability.  Establish inventory par levels for injectables, retail skincare, and consumables  Track inventory turnover and usage by provider  Monitor expiration dates, shrinkage, spoilage, and waste  Assign one team member ownership of inventory reconciliation  Adjust purchasing based on seasonal demand instead of automatic reordering  Negotiate flexible payment terms with vendors whenever possible  Make sure every product on your shelves has a purpose. When you consistently monitor inventory levels and adjust purchasing decisions based on real usage, you free up cash, protect your margins, and create a more efficient operation.  04:00 Managing inventory responsibilities  07:31 Managing Inventory and Cash Flow  11:19 Tracking inventory and usage metrics  15:47 Upselling and Packaging Services  16:52 Managing inventory and pricing strategy Good Inventory Data Leads to Better Financial Decisions  Inventory counts should do more than confirm what's on the shelf. They should tell you how inventory is moving through the practice and whether it's contributing to healthy cash flow.  When you regularly review inventory tracking alongside your financial reports, it's much easier to identify underutilized inventory, margin loss, or products that aren't generating the return you expected. That visibility allows you to make adjustments before small issues become expensive ones.  Cash Should Keep Working for Your Business  As your med spa grows, inventory becomes more than an operational task—it becomes a strategic financial decision. Expanding locations, hiring providers, investing in new technology, or building cash reserves all require liquidity. Every dollar tied up in excess inventory is a dollar that can't be invested elsewhere.  Practices that scale successfully understand how to balance inventory levels with demand. They know what products generate revenue, what products move slowly, and when it's worth negotiating better payment terms instead of purchasing more inventory. Managing inventory with intention doesn't just protect margins—it creates the financial flexibility needed to grow with confidence.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon:  Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

In this second episode of AIDS2060, Ben sits down with Dr Andrew Kambugu, Executive Director of the Infectious Disease Institute at Makere University in Kampala Uganda. They discuss the state of the clinical response to HIV in Africa, and Andrew sets out a research and implementation agenda that gives equal weight to HIV prevention, treatment and diagnosis. He compares it to floor cleaning: you have to switch the water off at its source and not rely exclusively on mopping water up on the floor. In other words, African solutions for African problems of an epidemic that we know how to treat but can't control rates of infection across the continent. 00:00 AIDS 2060 episode 2 intro 02:20 Three pillar overview 02:58 Prevention breakthroughs 04:19 Treatment momentum risks 06:00 Injectables and dual therapy 08:24 Integrating chronic care 10:12 Circumcision and ownership 14:07 Rethinking optimization 20:03 Africa led R & D 26:02 Africa CDC and AMA 27:42 Building Regulatory Capacity 28:21 Private Sector Momentum 29:37 Uganda Manufacturing Model 31:55 Academia Industry R&D 33:35 Africa Research Priorities 36:44 Biotech and Diagnostics 44:55 Funding and Innovation 49:51 Closing Thanks and Outro Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

The rapid evolution of biologics and blockbuster obesity therapies is creating an unprecedented demand on the injectable drug delivery market. As these treatments mature and reach millions of patients, the pharmaceutical industry is being forced to rethink dose volumes, supply chain sustainability, and device design.In this episode of Life Science Solutions, host Chris Adkins sits down with Paul Jansen, a recognized industry voice and veteran leader in medical device development and combination products. Drawing from his extensive background, including leadership roles at Sanofi, Paul explains how the massive success of GLP-1 therapies is shaking up the industry and forcing innovators to adapt.Topics Include:The GLP-1 Ripple Effect: Why the current model of one injection per device is environmentally and economically unsustainable for mass markets, driving the shift toward fixed-dose pens and the future of auto-indexing needles.The Rise of Dual Chamber Systems: How the expiration of key patents is opening the door for dual chamber cartridges, allowing for easier lyophilization reconstitution and the sequential delivery of complex, mixed therapies.Wearable Injectors: Why on-body wearables haven't hit their predicted "hockey stick" growth yet, and why the industry needs to focus on creating affordable, less-featured baseline devices rather than over-engineering them.The Reality of Connected Devices: Why smart connectivity provides massive value for highly motivated patients (such as those undergoing fertility or oncology treatments), but still lacks a clear value proposition for broader populations.Platform Innovation: The critical need for device companies to build adaptable technology platforms, collaborate closely with pharma, and integrate patient-centric usability engineering right from the start.Stay up to date on industry trends as this conversation offers a clear roadmap for the future of combination products.

Injectables now encompass more than original Botox and filler, with new treatments for the face and body currently available. Episode 11 of this podcast has covered the basics, but rapid advancements are changing options. Choosing the right treatment matters!In this Episode 115, Dr. Sachin Shridharani discusses the latest trends and technology. He sheds light on which products work best for specific facial areas, and he fills us in on the scoop about which procedures are most popular today.So many pearls of info. Listen in!

Aesthetic medicine moves billions of dollars a year, which means the loudest takes on injectable cosmetics — pro or con — usually come from someone with something to sell. Dr. Lawrence Bass walks through six widely-circulated claims about fillers — that they look puffy and unnatural, that they can be repeated as often as you want, that they only suit younger faces, that they lift sagging tissue, that they stretch the skin and accelerate aging, and that they qualify as "forever chemicals" — and lays out what the evidence actually says. Two ideas anchor the conversation. Results depend on the amount of product used and the skill of the injector — give a five-year-old and Rembrandt the same paints and you'll get two very different paintings. And there's a real upper limit on retreatment: stacking too many sessions too close together traumatizes tissue and can make the original concerns reemerge in reverse as older product breaks down. Separate hype from evidence — including the fact that hyaluronic acid is nothing like the PFAS compounds in nonstick cookware — and you can decide whether injectables belong in your beauty plan based on what they actually do. Questions answered by this episode 1. Do all fillers create a puffy or unnatural look? 2. What actually determines how natural fillers look — the product or the injector? 3. How often can fillers be repeated without overdoing it? 4. What happens when fillers are stacked too quickly or too often? 5. Are fillers only useful for younger faces and early-stage aging? 6. Can fillers actually lift sagging tissue, or do they only add volume? 7. Do fillers stretch out the skin and speed up aging? 8. How are hyaluronic acid fillers different from PFAS "forever chemicals"? 9. Can fillers be reversed if something goes wrong? 10. How do you decide if fillers belong in your beauty plan?   Innovator.

People are injecting themselves with unregulated compounds bought from the internet — so how safe is this health trend? Dhruv Khullar is a physician and contributing writer at The New Yorker. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the realities of injectable peptides — what they promise and what are falsehoods, what the FDA has to say about these substances, and why some people are willing to take huge risks in hopes of better health.

Have you ever noticed how some women walk into a room and instantly feel grounded, calm, elegant, and magnetic? In this episode, I share why posture is about so much more than “standing up straight.” Your posture reflects your nervous system, emotional state, stress patterns, confidence, and how safe your body feels internally. We also explore how chronic stress, hypervigilance, over-responsibility, emotional tension, and even nervous system dysregulation can subtly shape the body over time and how small shifts can completely change the way you feel, move, and present yourself.Shop my skincare products to keep your skin looking radiant this season: https://alwaysradiantskinshop.com/Step into your Radiance Sanctuary in the Membership https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/membershipFor more resources related to today's episode, click here for the podcast episode page: https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/podcasts Follow Rachel Varga Official on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ —Catch full episodes of The School of Radiance Podcast here on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@RachelVargaOfficial —Subscribe to the YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@RachelVargaOfficial —Follow me here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ Website: https://www.theschoolofradiance.com —FREE STUFF: Download my FREE Skincare Checklist, sign up for my FREE 30 minute biohack your way to clear skin and slowing aging training now, and my newsletter for promos and exclusive events just for you! https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/freebiesEveryone gets one FREE call!

What actually supports radiant, youthful-looking skin? What role do lifestyle and biohacking strategies play in rejuvenation results? In this episode, we take a deeper look at the biology of skin aging and how to support your skin from the inside out. We explore how collagen production changes over time, why fibroblast activity is key for maintaining structure and elasticity, and what happens when senescent (“zombie”) cells begin to accumulate in the body.Radiance isn't created through one treatment or one product.It's built through consistency, through supporting your body at a cellular level, and through making choices that allow your skin to repair, regenerate, and thrive over time.Shop my skincare products to keep your skin looking radiant this season: https://alwaysradiantskinshop.com/Step into your Radiance Sanctuary in the Membership https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/membershipFor more resources related to today's episode, click here for the podcast episode page: https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/podcasts Follow Rachel Varga Official on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ —Catch full episodes of The School of Radiance Podcast here on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@RachelVargaOfficial —Subscribe to the YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@RachelVargaOfficial —Follow me here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/rachelvargaofficial/ Website: https://www.theschoolofradiance.com —FREE STUFF: Download my FREE Skincare Checklist, sign up for my FREE 30 minute biohack your way to clear skin and slowing aging training now, and my newsletter for promos and exclusive events just for you! https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/freebiesEveryone gets one FREE call!

Plastic surgeon, Dr. Christian Subbio, is back for a thought-provoking conversation about the real cost of plastic surgery and the unrealistic beauty standards we see on social media. Victoria and Dr. Subbio get into the truth behind celebrity transformations involving Kris Jenner, Bradley Cooper, Bella Hadid, and more, while unpacking the biggest beauty trends right now: reversed procedures, what people get wrong about injectables, and the shift back to a more natural look. He also shares his biggest piece of advice for young women curious about plastic surgery and the deeper truth underneath it all: changing your face or body will not automatically fix insecurity.
