Send us Fan MailDr. Parvesh Garg, neonatologist and researcher specializing in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in preterm infants, shares more than a decade of work on two of the most understudied organ systems in the NICU. He explains why surgical NEC is an independent risk factor for long-term neurodevelopmental impairment, how aggressively managing hypotension at the time of diagnosis may protect both the brain and the kidneys, and why the severity of NEC-associated AKI should be used as a prognostic tool in counseling families. He also presents early but fascinating laboratory findings suggesting that low-dose dexamethasone — unlike high doses — may help limit intestinal epithelial loss once NEC has set in, drawing a parallel to what therapeutic hypothermia does for HIE: the event has happened, but the inflammatory cascade may still be containable.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode, Michelle Weiner, DO, MPH returns to share her expertise on low-dose ketamine for chronic pain. Dr. Weiner is double board-certified in Interventional Pain Medicine, Physical Medicine, and Rehabilitation. She is founder of Neuropain Health delivering personalized integrative care treating the root cause of pain and suffering, both physical and emotional, using a multidisciplinary biopsychosocial approach with many years of clinical experience with ketamine-assisted therapy. In this conversation, Dr. Weiner reframes chronic pain as more than a symptom of tissue damage, describing it instead as a complex sensory and emotional experience shaped by the brain, nervous system, and a person's broader life context. She explains how chronic pain can become entrenched through maladaptive neural network patterns, fear, stress, and identity-level beliefs, and argues that effective treatment must move beyond symptom suppression toward a biopsychosocial model that addresses suffering, function, and quality of life. Drawing on her clinical work, Dr. Weiner discusses how low-dose ketamine, when paired with preparation, integration, pain reprocessing therapy, somatic work, and functional movement, may help create a window of neuroplasticity that allows patients to interrupt rigid pain patterns and reconnect with their own capacity for healing. In this episode, you'll hear: How Dr. Weiner understands chronic pain The "triple network model" of neuropsychiatric conditions and how Dr. Weiner applies this to thinking about chronic pain Why imaging, injections, and medications often fall short once pain has become chronic and centrally mediated The gate control theory of pain and how this relates to possible mechanisms of ketamine treatments of pain How ketamine may support chronic pain treatment by creating a temporary window of neuroplasticity that can be used for deeper therapeutic change What pain reprocessing therapy is and why Dr. Weiner sees it as a first-line intervention for many chronic pain conditions Patient stories from Dr. Weiner's practice where belief change was a key component of healing pain Quotes: "Over time, when [pain] becomes chronic, it's no longer trying to alter the physical body, it's actually trying to reprocess what's happening in the brain." [3:47] "Ketamine for me started to become more interesting because I realized that this wind-up phenomenon that is so responsible for a lot of people's chronic pain can actually start to be reversed when we start using medications [like ketamine] that can change the balance of glutamate and GABA [neurotransmitters]." [14:26] "So I just started to think, how can we use the lowest dose of ketamine to create neuroplasticity, guide them in a way that they're able to move and shift the story, and then that's how you can create long term change. [18:51] "The key is to understand that we are our own healers. If we're not involved in actively participating in our treatment, then we're relying on someone else outside of us and that's not really a long term plan." [29:20] "More with ketamine is definitely not better. When people feel so disconnected and so separate from themselves, they can experience more fear. And I think that's important to have that sweet spot where they're able to get that time out. They're not really feeling their pain, they're not in their ordinary mind and their conscious thoughts and they're able to have the brain connect in a different way and experience things differently, which then creates hope and allows them to really wake up and say, 'oh, there there are other options out here for me.'"

Dr. Monty Pal and Dr. Atul Batra discuss the PLANeT study from India, which evaluated low-dose pembrolizumab in addition to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer, and its place among a growing body of international research on improving efficacy while reducing costs and toxicity with lower doses of immunotherapy. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Monty Pal: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Monty Pal. I'm a medical oncologist, professor, and vice chair of academic affairs at the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, Los Angeles. My guest today, I think, is going to be a really riveting one. It's Dr. Atul Batra, who is an additional professor of medical oncology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, or AIIMS, in New Delhi. And he's also the senior author of the PLANeT study. It's a very compelling study that evaluated low-dose pembrolizumab in addition to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. And it's really a big part of a growing body of research that's showing balanced efficacy when we use lower doses of immunotherapy instead of standard doses to reduce cost, as well as potentially toxicity. I think this has huge implications for our global audience, and I'm so thrilled to have you on the podcast today, Dr. Atul Batra, welcome. Dr. Atul Batra: Thank you, Dr. Pal. Dr. Monty Pal: And we'll just take it with first names from here since we're both friends. I have to give the audience some context. Atul, I had the great honor of visiting AIIMS New Delhi. For those that don't know, this is really, you know, the Harvard Medical School of India. It's the most competitive institution for medical training. And on the back end of that, there's also incredible resources when it comes to clinical trials and infrastructure. I just wanted to have you give the audience sort of a scope of the types of trials that you've been able to do at AIIMS New Delhi. Dr. Atul Batra: Thank you, Monty. So, I work at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, and we had the honor and pleasure of having Monty here this month. And people are still in awe of his lectures that he delivered there. Coming back to our institute, so it's kind of a medical college. It's one of the oldest ones, it was built in 1956. We are lucky enough that we get the best of the residents and fellows because they have to go through an exam, a competitive exam, and mostly it's them who come to us and we're able to do some good work out here. Regarding the trials that we have conducted, we do conduct some investigator-initiated studies, and we try to answer the questions where we can help our own patients. Like, for example, this PLANeT study. Every other patient in the clinic was almost not able to afford Keytruda at the full dose, pembrolizumab, and we had a lot of evidence creeping in that a lower dose might be helpful. And that's how we planned this study. Before that, there are certain cancers that are peculiar to India, like gallbladder cancer, head and neck cancers. These are much more common in India as compared to the U.S., and there are some good studies that have been conducted from our own institute by our senior colleagues which have been presented at ASCO and published in the JCO. We also did the capecitabine hand-foot syndrome study that was known as the D-ToRCH study: 1% diclofenac gel that became the standard of care to prevent hand-foot syndrome. So, that's kind of a brief overview of investigator-initiated studies. India is slowly and steadily becoming a partner of the global registration trials. And it's more recently, the last five years or so, we have seen that the number of phase 2 and phase 3 trials are increasing and we are able to offer now these trials as well to our patients. Dr. Monty Pal: That was a terrific overview. I just want to highlight for the audience, as we go through some of your discussions today around specific trials, the speed at which this can be done. Just for context, for me to accrue a clinical trial of 30 patients – I think many people have probably come across some of the work that I've done in the microbiome space – at a single institution, 30 patients, right, takes me about a year and a half, two years. We're going to go through some trials today where Dr. Batra and his team have actually, in fact, accrued close to 200 patients over a span of just a year, which is just remarkable by, I would say, any American standard. So, I see a real need for partnership and Atul, I'll kind of get back to that at the end. But without further ado, the focus of this podcast today, I think, is really this terrific presentation you gave in an oral session at ESMO and subsequently published in Annals of Oncology related to the PLANeT study. Would you give the listeners some context around what the study entailed and population and so forth? Dr. Atul Batra: So, we know the KEYNOTE-522 became the standard of care for triple-negative breast cancer, where Keytruda, when added at 200 mg, the standard dose every three weeks with neoadjuvant, increases the pCR from around 51% to 64% by a magnitude of around 13%. However, in India and other low-middle income countries, less than 5% of the patients actually have access to this dose of pembrolizumab. So, our standard of care was actually just chemotherapy till now. And this kind of led us to design this trial. There are data that come from previous trials conducted in India, from the Tata Memorial, done in head and neck space, some other studies done in Hodgkin's lymphoma, that a much lower dose, probably around one-tenth of the dose, works well in these cancers. So, that's where we designed the PLANeT study, where we gave the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the control arm, and in the experimental arm we added 50 mg of pembrolizumab. This was given every six weeks for three doses. So, that's a total of 150 mg over the neoadjuvant period as compared to 1,600 mg that was given in the KEYNOTE-522 study. So, this was almost one-tenth of the study. Dr. Monty Pal: So, a tenth of the dose, which is just remarkable. I mean, that's just such an interesting concept. Dr. Atul Batra: And the results, when we – the primary outcome, this was a phase 2 study. We just wanted to see, is there a signal of activity? And to even our surprise, when we looked at the pathological complete response rates, in the control arm this was 40.5%, and in the experimental arm this was 53.8%. So, a difference came to around 13.3%; it was numerically, I mean, so much similar to what KEYNOTE-522 had with just these many doses. So, this was around 160 patients randomized over one year. We could randomize them in one year because of the load that we see. And the primary endpoint was met, and we could see that the path complete response did show a remarkable increase. We are still following these patients to see whether there is a difference in event-free survival at a longer follow-up. Until now, it's a small follow-up, so the number of events absolute, are different: four events in the experimental arm and 11 events in the control arm. So, we are seeing some signal even in this much short follow-up period as well. But we need to see more of what happens in the longer term. Dr. Monty Pal: That's so impressive. I wonder, with this lower dose, do you attenuate toxicity at all as far as you can gather? Dr. Atul Batra: So, although we shouldn't be doing kind of cross-trial comparisons, but if you look at thyroid dysfunction, we saw that around 10% of our patients had this thyroid dysfunction. This was compared to 15% in the KEYNOTE-522, that was a larger sample size though. But we're seeing that all the toxicities are somewhat less as compared to those in the standard dose. So, the exposure is less, but I mean, I can't really commit definitely on this. For this we would need much more data to say this with more confidence. Dr. Monty Pal: Yeah. I'm going to ask you a really tough question to follow up, and this is probably something that's on everyone's mind after reading a study like this. Is this something that is disease-specific that needs to be replicated across other histologies? The reason I ask this is, you know, you think about paradigms like, for instance, in the States we're toying between intravenous versus subcutaneous delivery of checkpoint inhibitors, and we have studies focused in specific histologies that might justify use across all histologies. With this particular phenomenon, do you think we need to do dedicated studies in renal cell or in colon cancer and other places where, you know, in selected settings we might use checkpoint inhibitors and then decide whether or not there's this dose equivalence, if you will? Dr. Atul Batra: That's a real tough one, though. But I'm happy to share that there are several ongoing studies within India currently. At our institute, my colleagues are leading studies in lung cancer space, cervical cancer. There was already a publication from Tata Memorial Hospital in head and neck cancers and we see that the signal has been consistent throughout. Regarding renal cancer, there was one study that was presented for sure at ASCO from CMC Vellore, that's again a center in South India. That was in RCC at a much lower dose. And for patients who cannot take the full dose, we actually are offering lower dose nivolumab in such patients and we are seeing responses. I mean, we haven't done those randomized trials again because the numbers are much lower in kidney cancers, we know. We could do this trial in triple-negative ones because we had support and we had numbers to conduct this trial. But I'm sure this should be a class effect. I mean, when we can get tumor-agnostic approvals, then some real-world data has come up in almost all tumors, we have seen that consistent effect across tumors. And as we speak of today, I'm also delighted to share that in India, yesterday, we had the first biosimilar of nivolumab and that's now available at a much, much lower price than the original patent product. There was a long ongoing lawsuit that was there, that's over now, and from yesterday onwards, I'm so happy to share here that we would have the first biosimilar of nivolumab that's available. That's going to bring the cost to almost like one-tenth already. Dr. Monty Pal: Wow. That's huge. I'm going to be very selfish here for a second and focus on a study that is in the renal cell space that your group has done. You know, when it came out, I was really sort of intrigued by this study as well and it reflects sort of a different capability, I think, of AIIMS New Delhi, and that's in the, what I'm going to call, biomarker space. This, for the audience, was a prospective effort to characterize germline variants in patients with advanced kidney cancer. And it's something that we talk about a lot in the kidney cancer literature, whether or not we're missing a lot of these so-called hereditary patterns of RCC. Can you tell us a little bit about that study too? Dr. Atul Batra: Yeah, so that was led by one of our fellows, Chitrakshi Nagpal, and she's just completed her fellowship. And two years back we published that. So, that was done in almost 160 consecutive patients that we recruited over the span of just one year and we saw, apart from the common known mutations in RCC, that was around 5% or so, but a lot of other mutations were also seen that we don't generally see in kidney cancers and we see in other cancers like BRCA1, BRCA2 and others. We are still, I mean, doing those analyses to see whether we get more things out of there in the somatic: is there a loss of heterozygosity or was it just present and in there? Dr. Monty Pal: I thought it was a terrific study and again, I was just so blown away at the pace. I mean, as I look at 140 patients accrued over a span of one year, this is something that would take us perhaps three times as long at City of Hope, and that's with a very sort of, what I consider to be large and dedicated kidney cancer program. So, it really underscores, I think, the need for collaboration. And ever since I came back from my visit to you at AIIMS Delhi, I think I've just been sort of transformed in the sense of trying to think of better ways for us to collaborate. One tangible thing that I'm going to get cracking on is seeing whether or not perhaps we can form some partnerships through SWOG or what we call the NCTN, the National Clinical Trials Network here within the U.S. Talk to me about collaboration. I mean, you've been really terrific at this. How do you sort of envision collaboration enhancing the global landscape of oncology? Dr. Atul Batra: That's really amazing, Monty. That's what we need. We have the infrastructure, we have the manpower, we have patients. I mean, these are all high-volume centers. Unfortunately, we are a little less in numbers, so we are more clinically occupied as well. So, sometimes it's kind of tougher, but again, when it comes to helping out the patients, global collaboration, we need to kind of take you guys along with us and have our patients finish trials earlier. This is a win-win situation for patients, one, because they also get exposure or an option to participate in the clinical trials, and second, we can answer all these scientific questions that we have at a much faster pace. All those things can be done within a much shorter span of time for sure. We are so happy to hear that, and with open hands we are ready to collaborate for all these efforts. Dr. Monty Pal: That's awesome. You know, I came back thinking, gosh, this would be so ideal for some of these rare subtypes of kidney cancer. Prospective clinical trials that I'm running in that space where really we're threatened with closure all the time. And if we just sort of extended a hand to, you know, our partners in India and other countries, you know, I'm sure we could get this research done in a meaningful way and that's got to be a win for patients. Atul, I had such a terrific time chatting with you today. I'm looking forward to seeing lots more productivity from your group there. By the way, for our viewership here, take a look and see what AIIMS New Delhi is doing under the leadership of Dr. Batra and others. It is just a real powerhouse and I think that after doing so, you'll be enticed to collaborate as well. I'm hoping this is the first of many times that we have you on the podcast. Thank you so much for joining. Dr. Atul Batra: Thank you so much for having me here, Monty. It was a pleasure as always speaking to you. And thank you again. Dr. Monty Pal: You got it. Well, and thanks to our listeners. I encourage you to check out Dr. Batra's paper. We'll actually have a link to the study in the transcript of this episode.

What makes methylene blue so different from most nootropics is how little it takes to have an effect. In this clip, Mark Sloan explains why ultra-low doses of methylene blue can support mental clarity, calm energy, and mitochondrial performance without overstimulation. You'll hear why: Just a few milligrams can support steady, all-day focus Low doses reduce risk while increasing safety and accessibility Methylene blue supports mitochondrial energy production at the cellular level It plays a role in the NAD to NADH ratio, a key marker of metabolic health The brain benefits disproportionately due to high energy demand Tune in to Episode 68, where we go deeper into methylene blue, mitochondria, metabolic health, and why low-dose strategies often outperform aggressive protocols.

STRIVE: Low-Dose Alteplase Ineffective in STEMI Patients With Large Thrombus
Are allergies silently draining your energy, wearing down your immune system, and keeping you stuck in a cycle of chronic symptoms? Allergies aren't just seasonal annoyances, they are abnormal immune reactions to everyday substances like pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, and even foods. When your body misidentifies these normal particles as threats, it triggers inflammation, congestion, infections, fatigue, skin issues, and respiratory problems that can worsen over time. Many people turn to antihistamines, decongestants, or steroids, but these only mask symptoms rather than address the root cause. In this episode, Dr. Hotze breaks down how allergies develop, why they tend to run in families, and how repeated exposure can overwhelm your immune system and lead to the “cycle of illness.” He also explains why antibiotics often exacerbate the problem by disrupting gut flora and fueling yeast overgrowth, which further weakens immunity. Most importantly, Dr. Hotze shares a proven, practical solution called low-dose immunotherapy, a targeted approach that helps block allergic reactions at the source. This therapy can dramatically reduce symptoms, including asthma, sinus infections, eczema, and chronic drainage, by retraining the immune system instead of suppressing it. If allergies are affecting your daily life, your mood, your sleep, or your overall well-being, there is a natural and effective way to restore your health. Low-dose immunotherapy may be the long-term relief you've been searching for. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

The topic of low-dose atropine, not FDA-approved, has become one of the most important conversations in pediatric eye care this year, especially as clinicians turn to the STAR Study for clarity on atropine's role in modern myopia control. The STAR Study is the largest and most ethnically diverse atropine study to date, evaluating 0.01% and 0.03% atropine versus placebo in more than 800 children across three countries.

In this video, I share my personal experience with low-dose radiation therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory knee pain — a treatment with a long history in Europe that's now being re-examined in the U.S. as a safe, evidence-based option for chronic orthopedic pain. Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) involves the use of very small, precisely targeted doses of radiation — typically one-tenth or less of what's used in cancer treatment — to reduce inflammation and modulate immune response in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. Research has shown that these low doses can help relieve pain and improve mobility, often providing durable results without the side effects of steroids or long-term medications. I'm joined by Dr. Sanjay Mehta, Radiation Oncologist at St. Joseph Cancer Center in Houston, to discuss the science behind this therapy, its mechanisms of action, and the clinical outcomes we're seeing today for conditions such as: • Osteoarthritis • inflammatory knee pain • Plantar fasciitis • Tennis elbow • Shoulder and joint pain You'll also see a glimpse of my own treatment session, as we explore how this “old yet new” approach is helping patients regain comfort, function, and quality of life — without medications or surgery.

Today's episode is one I've really been looking forward to because we're diving into something that's transforming the way we think about mental health treatment: low-dose ketamine therapy. My guest, Dr. Sharon Niv, is the co-founder of Joyous, a public benefit company helping make this kind of care more accessible and affordable than ever before. Sharon brings a fascinating background in cognitive psychology, meditation, and technology, and she's helping bridge the gap between neuroscience and therapy in a way that's incredibly gentle, safe, and empowering for both clients and clinicians. We'll talk about what makes psycholytic, or low-dose, ketamine different from traditional psychedelic experiences, how it can enhance the therapeutic process, and how you, as a therapist, can get trained to integrate it into your own work. This is one of those conversations that opens your mind to what's possible in therapy, so let's jump in.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-09-2025: Dr. Dawn opens by addressing an emailer's question about safety of low-dose lithium for dementia prevention. She reports finding a two-year double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 61 patients with mild cognitive impairment that showed no kidney damage from therapeutic lithium doses. While low-dose lithium at 2-3 milligrams daily appears safe compared to therapeutic doses of 50-100 milligrams, she notes its calming effects may improve cognition. >/li> She discusses over-the-counter hearing aids now available without prescription, ranging from $98 to $999, representing significant savings compared to prescription models costing four times as much. >/li> An emailer asks about long-term methotrexate use for psoriasis, reporting declining white blood cell counts and slower healing. Dr. Dawn reviews studies showing that in 13-year rheumatoid arthritis trials, severe side effects occurred in only 3% of patients. She recommends monthly blood monitoring including comprehensive metabolic panels to check liver and kidney function. As an alternative, she suggests apremilast, which showed excellent long-term safety in pooled data from half a million patient years with virtually no liver, kidney, or blood count problems. She also recommends trying phototherapy with tuned red light frequencies and topical treatments before considering drugs like etanercept that carry leukemia and lymphoma risks. >/li> Dr. Dawn expands on ultra-processed food dangers, explaining how mechanical processing of carbohydrates accelerates digestion and causes blood sugar spikes that lead to insulin resistance. Steel-cut oatmeal and wheat berries digest slowly and accelerate glucose at a low rate, while instant oatmeal and white bread hit like loud spikes. She emphasizes that processing primarily affects carbohydrates, not proteins or fats. Whole fruits are vastly superior to juices because juicing makes fruit sugars unnaturally available to metabolism. She also warns about hidden microplastics entering food through processing equipment, transport tanks, and packaging, with longer processing and travel distances increasing contamination. >/li> Dr.Dawn discusses the health dangers of sedentary behavior, noting that simply walking 20 minutes daily can lower blood pressure without requiring intense exertion. Dr. Dawn offers creative exercise solutions including bouncing on inflatable exercise balls during screen time, keeping weights in bathrooms for tooth-brushing workouts or in other frequently used spaces, doing resistance band exercises while waiting in cars, and practicing single-leg squats for balance. She describes the geriatric "get up and go" test where inability to stand, walk 10 feet, return, and sit within 10 seconds predicts five-year mortality. >/li> A caller discusses motivation challenges with his unused NordicTrack equipment. Dr. Dawn suggests making exercise rewarding by listening to engaging podcasts exclusively during workouts, creating positive associations that build sustainable habits. She explains that five minutes daily for six days weekly, maintained for a month, typically becomes permanent. The caller correctly notes that exercise increases mitochondrial production, and Dr. Dawn expands on this, explaining how oxygen debt triggers DNA signals to build new muscle fibers and mitochondria, raising metabolic rate, improving glucose metabolism, and increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor that promotes new neural connections, making exercise crucial for preventing cognitive decline. >/li>

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down one of the most talked-about tools in the health optimization world right now—peptides. From healing faster to building lean muscle, improving fat loss, enhancing sleep, and even slowing down the aging process… peptides are powerful. But they're also misunderstood, under-regulated, and often misused. So in this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what peptides are, how they work, the most popular ones in each category, and both the pros and cons of using them. This is a no-BS, educational breakdown of everything you need to know before exploring peptides as a tool for better health, performance, or aesthetics. I also cover some legal and sourcing realities—because here's the truth: most peptides aren't FDA-approved, and you'll only find them labeled for “research purposes only.” This isn't an endorsement. It's a breakdown to help you make smarter, more informed decisions. What I Cover in This Episode: What peptides are and how they're different from hormones or steroids Legal disclaimers and how they're commonly sourced Growth hormone peptides: CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, MK-677 Fat loss peptides: AOD 9604 and Tesamorelin Healing peptides: BPC-157 and TB-500 Anti-aging + cognitive peptides: GHK-Cu (Copper peptide), Epitalon, Semax, Selank Mitochondrial optimizer: MOTS-c and why it's a game-changer for metabolic health How to stack peptides and what to avoid Side effects, risks, and what to consider before diving in Links & References: Biological Activities and Safety of Citrus spp. Essential Oils - Click Here Essential role of TRPC6 channels in G2/M phase transition and development of human glioma - Click Here Final Take: Peptides can be a powerful tool—but they're not a magic bullet. If you're training hard, eating right, sleeping well, and want to push to the next level, they might offer that extra edge. Just make sure you're doing it smart, and not chasing shortcuts.

We are delighted to partner with Western Radiation Oncology today, with two of their distinguished radiation oncologists joining us on the Prostate Health Podcast. LDR (Low Dose Rate) prostate brachytherapy has recently been an underutilized treatment for prostate cancer. However, advancements in modern techniques have demonstrated that LDR brachytherapy, a procedure that can be performed quite easily in an ambulatory surgery center, offers high cure rates with minimal long-term complications, making it a convenient, non-invasive option for men with prostate cancer. Today, we chat with Dr. Steven Kurtzman and Dr. Ankit Agarwal, two distinguished radiation oncologists working to expand access to LDR brachytherapy by partnering with urologists to establish new programs across the United States. Drs. Kurtzman and Agarwal are national leaders in targeted real-time intraoperative planned brachytherapy. With over 7,000 implants performed in the past two decades and more than 700 procedures conducted annually, they have managed to preserve this specialized technique despite its limited expansion in recent years. Based primarily in the Bay Area, California, they provide exceptional cancer care while collaborating with urologists, medical oncologists, and prostate cancer specialists across the United States to assist in establishing LDR programs in ambulatory surgery centers nationwide to provide high-quality prostate cancer care. Tune in to learn more about this promising treatment option! Disclaimer: The Prostate Health Podcast is for informational purposes only. Nothing in this podcast should be construed as medical advice.

He highlights a recent publication that challenges traditional biases regarding the dosage needed to elicit a positive response in older adults. Dustin aims to provide hope and practical insights for healthcare professionals, particularly those with limited interaction time with patients. He emphasizes the gap between recommended physical activity guidelines—such as 150 minutes of vigorous activity or 300 minutes of moderate activity weekly, along with resistance training—and the reality that many older adults, as well as healthcare providers, struggle to meet these standards. Dustin addresses the tension that arises when considering effective interventions that may fall short of conventional expectations, particularly in settings like home health and skilled nursing facilities.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , what is your opinion on low dose Ketamine? I know you spoke of it briefly a year or so ago but on not daily low dose, and at that time you were still researching between Ketamine and Psilocybin. What have your findings been ? I'm considering trying low dose ketamine for SEVERE Sensory overload, anxiety & now depression because it's robbing my life . I've been working on root cause , doing protocols, detoxes ect and have improved a lot but that just won't leave and by far the most worst of my symptoms. I tried SSRIs and my body does not like them at all , on Xanax now just to barely function and refuse to go up in dose per my Dr. wanting me to increase dose to help . Hoping your research can help my decision. I'm in CA and I don't think psilocybin is legal here yet . Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I try to avoid plastics whenever possible but sometimes they are hard to avoid. What about local honey at the farmers market that comes in a plastic bottle? Or drinking chilled water out of a plastic insulated thermos? I know leaching is terrible when the plastic is heated, but curious if the plastic doesn't get hot if it is just as bad. thanks Anonymous: I tested positive for an STD called Ureaplasma, which is know to cause PID and infertility. I've taken many rounds of antibiotics and it has not gone away. I am also experiencing mild symptoms of urethritis which this is known to cause. I was wondering if there is any natural treatment for STDs or urethritis. I am also wondering if taking biofilms with the next round of antibiotics could help the antibiotics work better? Sara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just read your article on alkalized water and was wondering if there is whole home filter you would recommend. I have a small filter under my house and need to replace it. I looked at the AquaTru under sink filter, which looks great, but is there a good option to have a whole house alkalized filter? Thanks! Sara Cindy: First , thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge so freely! I'm always looking for safe alternatives for anti-aging/beauty products in lieu of injectables, etc. Are you familiar with Procell? Procell uses microchanning along with a topically applied serum. According to their website “Procell's Microchannel Delivery Serum contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. Both of these elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade.” How does one determine the safety of a product like this? I value your opinion! Is Procell therapy safe? Is microchanneling safe?
