Discussion followed on the need for new rules around car chases, since few people pay attention to them anymore, with a lighthearted nod to rebuilding “The Foosh.” Conway also shared stories from his drive from Portland to Burbank while listening to the Carolla Podcast. The hour closed with Missak Thomlinson's ongoing journey to find a living kidney donor, highlighted by a Kidney Donation Awareness & Swabbing Event aimed at raising awareness and finding a match. 4:05pm – Alex Stone, The Menendez Brothers today remain at a prison along the US/Mexico Border with no sign they'll be getting out anytime soon. Late on Friday night a parole board -- after a lengthy delay caused by some audio of Thursday's hearing that was mistakenly released -- issued its ruling that Lyle Menendez, like his brother Erik, will not get parole. They can try again in three years. 4:20pm – Car chases need new rules around them, because no one is paying attention to them.

Honoring Minority Organ Donor Awareness MonthIn recognition of August as Minority Organ Donor Awareness Month, we're sharing powerful stories that highlight the lifesaving impact of organ donation within communities of color. This episode features Maxine Williams of Audubon, PA, widow of Al Williams — a U.S. Navy veteran, General Mills employee, coach, and kidney recipient. Al's transplant in 2011 gave him 12 more years of life, during which he witnessed milestones he once thought impossible while on dialysis — including his son Nico's high school and college graduations. Al was a passionate advocate for organ donation, sharing his gratitude publicly and inspiring others to register as a Gift of Life Ambassador. Together, Maxine and her family continue this legacy through The Al Williams Foundation, promoting preventative health, wellness, and the power of organ donation. Their story embodies the profound gift of a second chance at life — and the importance of increasing organ donor registration in minority communities.
This summer, join host David Mandell as he revisits and highlights episodes from Season 3 and 4 of The Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician podcast, in our 2025 Summer Rewind Series. "I genuinely believe there is a lot of information to gain from all of our episodes deliver, but for the summer, I've handpicked a few that offer intriguing ideas and a unique perspective for physicians in 2025," says David. "I hope you enjoy this Season encore series. Have a great summer!" Episode 3.13 | Originally Released: March 9, 2023 In this episode, Dr. Shaminder (Shammi) Gupta joins David to discuss his career path, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on that path, and what he is learning from being a business executive as well as a clinician. Shammi begins with his background – where he grew up, what got him interested in medicine why he gravitated to internal medicine & nephrology. He explains why his first job out of training was not a fit for him and how hurricane Katrina changed his path completely – as it did for many living in New Orleans at the time – opening up a career path he would not have considered otherwise. Shammi also covers how he built a significant dialysis practice in a smaller town setting, became president of the Kidney Foundation, and built a reputation throughout the state. This led to his practice being acquired by Monogram Health, where he works today as an executive and clinician. Shammi then shares what he is learning from the “business side” of medicine, as he builds out a multi-state medical platform for kidney health, and describes the value CEOs see in physicians who can communicate well and know their field of medicine intimately. Next, David gets Shammi's insights on wealth management, including building the right advisor team and why to potentially change advisors as you grow, and Shammi concludes with his three pieces of advice for fellow physicians, especially those starting out.

Episode #219 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I realize the relationship between bitters, incretins, and autophagy is more complex than a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The incretin response doesn't directly “promote” autophagy - it primarily regulates blood sugar and satiety. Autophagy is mainly triggered by nutrient scarcity and low insulin levels, not by bitter compounds themselves. Can you weigh-in on using bitter greens during this reset? [16:07] I have had some success lowering weight a couple times using fasting and time restricted eating but the weight creeps back up after a while even with doing TRE. What's nice is that I can get it to go back down again with discipline. I'm wondering what scientific evidence exists that your body set weight can successfully be reset for the long term as mine holds for a while but then wants to creep up and if there's a foolproof method to resetting your body set weight? [19:26] Your kidney patients who are T2D and close to needing dialysis, but are skinny, I'm assuming they need to fast for about a year to reverse the kidney damage, but how do they do it with so little fat mass? [26:56] I know that vitamin D is fat soluble and best taken with a meal. I've also heard that all supplements are better absorbed when taken with a meal. Is this true? What timeframe is considered “with a meal”? Is it before, during or after the meal? Is vitamin D a stimulant and can disrupt sleep so best taken in the morning? [30:32] How do you rate the risk of new gallstones formation if a patient already has one or more when it comes to fasting protocols?

This week on the Inside EMS podcast, Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson shine a spotlight on the kidneys and their impact on patient outcomes. What starts as a chat about chronic kidney stones quickly dives into a sharp, clinical breakdown of renal anatomy, physiology and the far-reaching consequences of kidney dysfunction in EMS care. Chris and Kelly unpack the kidneys' role in fluid balance, blood pressure regulation and acid-base stability, including how the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) system can either save a patient … or make things worse. They outline the key types of acute kidney injury (pre-renal, intrinsic, post-renal), tie them back to underlying anatomy, and explain why perfusion matters long before labs confirm failure. With field-focused tips on what to ask (yes, diaper counts matter), what to look for and how to manage critical complications, this episode gives medics the tools to recognize renal red flags early — and act fast. Additional resources: Acute kidney injury assessment and treatment The science behind shock: Why providers must understand the RAAS Caring for the dialysis patient One for the Road: Is this a kidney stone? Memorable quotes “In EMS, we don't really pay attention to the functioning of the kidneys until everything goes south.” “They're not lying when they say the kidneys are the windows to the viscera.” “Kidney problems don't happen in isolation.” Enjoying the show?

Cam Jones has had a pretty memorable 2025 season, rocketing from Grand Prix wild card to winner of Unbound. And yet, that dramatic turn of events pales in comparison to his 2022 season. For his final year as a U23, Cam planned to race every World Cup in the hope that it might secure him a team for the start of his Elite career. After a promising start to the season, things went downhill fast. Kidney failure, Covid, and a five-day stint in a Belgian detention center followed, and somehow, that barely scratches the surface.Cam joined Payson in the studio in Durango to talk about that unforgettable 2022 season, how he ended up racing gravel in the U.S. after starting a forestry career in New Zealand, and his childhood in Nelson. They also talk about the logistics of traveling to Grand Prix races that American riders don't have to think about, and how he's approaching Leadville after his decisive and unexpected win at Unbound.Instagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Dr. Robert Baron outlines major updates in type 2 diabetes care, emphasizing that blood sugar control alone does not significantly reduce cardiovascular risk, though it helps prevent microvascular complications. New guidelines now prioritize medications with proven cardiovascular and kidney benefits—GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors—over traditional first-line therapy like metformin. Baron explains how these newer drugs not only lower blood sugar but also reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure, with added benefits such as weight loss. He also covers changes in screening, diagnosis, blood pressure goals, and individualized treatment strategies based on age, comorbidities, and patient preferences.

Our kidneys filter out waste while retaining substances the body needs, such as electrolytes. Kidney health, which can be assessed with blood and urine biomarker tests, is paramount to overall health. Yet lifestyle, such as the Western diet and other factors, can damage the kidneys, leading to either a slow progression of issues or acute injury. Dr. Rick Johnson and Mike Haney discuss the role of the kidneys, what lifestyle factors affect kidney health, ways to support the kidneys, and what your biomarker results tell you about the function of these crucial organs.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl

Story at-a-glance Common medications like NSAIDs, antibiotics, acid blockers, and laxatives quietly damage your kidneys, even when used as directed Kidney symptoms often show up late, so damage is underway before you feel anything, especially if you're older or taking multiple prescriptions NSAIDs reduce blood flow, antibiotics clog, or inflame kidney filters and proton pump inhibitors trigger immune reactions that harm kidney tissue Imaging contrast dyes used in CT or MRI scans sharply reduce kidney function in vulnerable people, particularly those with diabetes or dehydration Reviewing your medications regularly, leading a healthy lifestyle and using natural alternatives help reduce your kidney burden and prevent long-term harm

A seductive stranger, a drugged drink, and a bathtub full of ice—discover why the most terrifying urban legend about organ theft is medically impossible, even though millions still believe it could happen to them.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: When hiring a ghost writer, you are paying someone to do some or even all of the writing of a book or novel for you – using your notes and outline – without taking any credit for themselves. But on the flip side, there are books written who give all credit to the ghost writers… because those ghost writers are literally authors who are ghosts. (Paranormal Prose: Books Written By Ghosts) *** When getting married, it's always best to tell your future spouse everything about yourself – no matter how sordid it might be. For if the news comes out after you've taken your vows, not only might it lead to divorce – but it could also lead to murder! (A Double Murderer Murdered) *** And while we're on the subject of marriage device – it's also never a good idea to cheat on your spouse, not matter how powerful and influential you are in society. That too can lead to brutal murder, very possibly your own, as Harvey Burdell found out. (Bond Street Tragedy) *** There are numerous eerie tales of the supernatural involving ghost brides and haunted wedding dresses. It makes you wonder if you plan on saying “I do”, if you're not also welcoming a residual haunting once “til death do us part” arrives. (Ghostly Bride of America) *** It happened in September of 2022 – hundreds of students all across the country of Mexico just fainted with no warning, while those around them were perfectly fine. Authorities still aren't sure they have found the explanation. (The Case Of Passed Out Pupils) *** Berkely Square is one of the most famous places in London, known for its beautiful garden and upscale living. Winston Churchill once lived here, as did Charles Rolls – cofounder of Rolls-Royce. The location has also been used for works of fiction, such as the television miniseries “Berkeley Square”, and even the home of fictional character Cathy Lane – Patty Lane's “identical cousin” from “The Patty Duke Show” on television. But Berkely Square also has a dark side – a building in the middle of the square, said to contain something not of this earth. (The Indescribable Beast of Berkely Square) *** But first… look out men, if you are approached by a beautiful woman seemingly out of nowhere – remember the saying: “if it's too good to be true, it probably is.” She may be less interested in your looks or money – and more interested in whats on your insides. Literally. We begin there! (Kidney Crooks)ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.
