Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.  One of the biggest surprises we've seen in medicine in the past several years has been the numerous health benefits realized from the GLP-1 agonists. Originally developed for the management of diabetes, they've shown significant potential to improve cardiovascular risks, beyond controlling blood glucose and lowering hemoglobin A1c. Several studies have shown reductions in cardiovascular events including MI, stroke as well as reducing overall cardiovascular death. What is the mechanism of action for these cardiovascular benefits? Are there any differences in the various GLP-1 medications available and who's a candidate for a GLP-1 medication? I'll get answers to all of these questions and more in this podcast as I speak with Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic. We'll be discussing “GLP-1 Agonists and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk”.  Rx for Weight Loss: A Closer Look Series | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Learn more at https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

Ep 84 | Quality sleep is the foundation wellness is built on. Without it, everything else—nutrition, exercise, supplements, mental health, and longevity—has to work a whole lot harder.In this episode of Homes That Heal, Jen sits down with Jack Dell'Accio, certified Sleep Coach and CEO & Founder of Essentia, to talk about why better sleep starts with sleep quality, not sleep quantity. This is a grounded, science-backed conversation about restorative sleep, nervous system regulation, and why so many people are exhausted despite doing all the “right” wellness things.Jack explains how REM sleep and deep sleep drive recovery, emotional regulation, immune health, and long-term resilience—and why your sleep environment, mattress materials, and exposure to toxins and allergens play a far bigger role in sleep health than most people realize. If you're focused on healing, longevity, athletic recovery, or simply waking up feeling rested again, this episode brings sleep back to its rightful place at the center of the wellness wheel.

AI Detection of Cardiac Amyloidosis   Guest: Patricia Pellikka, M.D. Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.   Dr. Patricia Pellikka dives into the AI model she helped build. Working with an AI echo company, Ultromics Ltd., her team built an AI echo model to detect cardiac amyloidosis. The model works from an apical 4 chamber videoclip and was approved by the FDA via the breakthrough pathway. They have validated it internationally in a population with 22% prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis and it had a sensitivity of 85%, specificity 93%, PPV 78%, NPV 96%, and AUC 0.93.  The performance of the model was consistent across cardiac amyloid types; among AL, wild type ATTR, and hereditary ATTR, the sensitivity was 84%, 85%, and 86%, respectively.  The performance of the model was also superior to previously validated scores which use clinical and echocardiographic variables for detecting cardiac amyloidosis. The results of the study were published online in the European Heart Journal in July.   Topics Discussed: You have built an AI echo model to detect cardiac amyloidosis.  How did you get into this? Tell us about the model that you built. How did you validate it? How does the model compare with other screening methods for detecting cardiac amyloidosis? What are the next steps for your research?   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

In part one of this two-part series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Divyanshu Dubey discuss the original patient cohort with occupational exposure, what motivated this line of research, and the key findings from the initial workup.  Show citation:  Hinson SR, Gupta P, Paramasivan NK, et al. Neural synaptic vesicle autoimmunity following aerosolized porcine neural tissue exposure: insights into autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. EBioMedicine. 2025;122:106053. doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.106053 Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Hello and welcome. This is Justin Abbatemacro. And I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey to discuss his article published in eBiomedicine, Neurosynaptic Vessel Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insight into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradicular Neuropathy. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Div is a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic, and we just finished our interview, which I would encourage everyone to check out. Div, maybe we could talk about the original cohort with this occupational exposure, what inspired you to do this work and then what did you find with that initial workup? Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: As recounted in our paper, this story began in 2006 to 2008, when a group of swine abattoir workers developed a striking neurological syndrome. These people were previously healthy and suddenly developed severe neuropathic pain, tingling, and variable weakness. The localization stood out, these cases were initially identified by Dan Lachance, who characterized these patients having an autoimmune neuropathy, which was further phenotypically characterized by the work done by Dr. Dyck, calling these inflammatory polyradicular neuropathy based on their nerve root plexus and proximal nerve collisions. And interestingly, a lot of work done back then by Dr. Lennon showed these patients had a unique synaptic staining pattern suggesting there was an underlying antibody driving this disease process. So as I joined the neuroimmunology lab a few years ago, this was one of the areas I wanted to go back and study, not only to find this mystery biomarker which caused the disease in these patients, but also to try and understand how this can help. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Yeah. I think my takeaway is be curious, right? You hear the story, you see this pattern. Be curious and investigate, and it takes a team or a village to do it. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: 100%. So observation, communication between, as you said, a team or a village with like-minded, passionate individuals is one of the successes of many of our discoveries, not just this one in this biomarker space. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: So the technique we use for discovery of these biomarkers was called a phage display where we use the archive sera to test from these patients, the swine abattoir worker patients with autoimmune polyradicular neuropathy. And we ended up finding two dominant antigens, which was synaptophysin and GAP-43, which were present in majority of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Please come back and check out part two where we discuss the latest findings and maybe some non-occupational exposures. And check out the podcast. Thanks.  

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guests: Tamim I. Rajjo, M.D., M.P.H.; Meera Shah, M.B., Ch.B.  The class of medications known as the GLP-1 agonists is very popular with our patients. Although initially indicated for management of diabetes, they're frequently taken for the weight loss they commonly produce. How long should these medications be taken? Is there anything we can do to help maintain the weight loss achieved with these medications? How significant is the loss of muscle mass which can occur as part of the weight lost with these medications and can this be minimized. Finally, how safe are the compounded and unapproved versions of these medications patients often find more affordable? These are a few of the questions we'll address in podcast on the GLP-1 medications used for weight loss and we'll tackle the “Controversies and Future of the GLP-1 Medications”. My guests include Dr. Meera Shah and Dr. Tamim Rajjo, both from the Division of Endocrinology at the Mayo Clinic.  Rx for Weight Loss: A Closer Look Series | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts 

Dr. Don Watenpaugh is a scientist, sleep clinician, data artist, and poet with a PhD in physiology. His extensive career spans academia, NASA, and the U.S. Navy, focusing on human sleep, exercise, and environmental physiology. As a board-certified sleep medicine specialist, he directed a large urban sleep clinic for over 13 years, caring for patients and educating healthcare providers. Dr. Watenpaugh is an adjunct faculty member in physiology, anatomy, and biomedical engineering. He now creates data-driven art and poetry at Studio Videnda. In this episode, he brings his deep expertise to the critical relationship between sleep and concussion recovery.Episode Summary:In this episode of the Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis welcomes sleep expert Dr. Don Watenpaugh, to explore the complex connection between sleep disturbances and concussion recovery. Dr. Watenpaugh explains the physiological reasons why concussions commonly disrupt sleep—from brain inflammation impacting cerebral spinal fluid "brainwashing" during non-REM sleep to the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The conversation delves into the different types of insomnia (sleep onset and maintenance) and their potential causes, including restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea.Crucially, Dr. Watenpaugh provides actionable, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep and support brain healing. He discusses the evolving role of exercise as medicine, emphasizing safe, non-jarring activities like stationary cycling. He covers practical sleep hygiene tips, such as the importance of spinal alignment during sleep, the potential benefits of slightly elevating the head of the bed, and the disruptive effects of electronics and blue light. The discussion also touches on the careful use of supplements like melatonin, the special considerations for military personnel and student-athletes, and the overarching importance of patient education and self-advocacy. This episode is packed with science-backed insights to help listeners break the vicious cycle of poor sleep and prolonged concussion symptoms.Key Resources & Strategies Mentioned:Exercise as Medicine: Safe, mild-to-moderate exercise (e.g., stationary cycling to avoid head acceleration) can aid concussion recovery and improve sleep. Always consult your doctor.Sleep Position & Environment:Maintain spinal alignment; avoid stomach sleeping to prevent neck torsion.Consider slightly elevating the head of the bed to help reduce intracranial pressure.Remove electronics (TVs, phones) from the bedroom to avoid mental stimulation and blue light, which suppresses natural melatonin.Addressing Underlying Causes:Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): Evening exercise (ending 2+ hours before bed) can help. Other treatments are available.Sleep Apnea: A common cause of sleep maintenance insomnia. Treatment (e.g., CPAP) is critical for overall health and concussion recovery.Hormonal Factors: Post-menopausal women may see a link between hormone changes and sleep apnea onset.Melatonin & Supplements: Prioritize natural melatonin production by managing light exposure. If using supplements, start with a low dose well before bedtime, monitor for side effects like headaches or grogginess, and consult your doctor.Patient Advocacy & Reliable Research: Dr. Watenpaugh stresses the importance of educating yourself using reliable, peer-reviewed sources like PubMed/MEDLINE, reputable medical institutions (e.g., Johns Hopkins & the Mayo Clinic), and professional organizations (e.g., American Academy of Sleep Medicine).Dr. Don Watenpaugh's website:Website/Data Art Studio: https://www.studiovidenda.comBethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Tamim Rajjo, M.D., M.P.H.  Using GLP-1 medication for weight loss has become very popular with our patients. In the recent past, this has produced a shortage of these medications available, and those taking them for management of diabetes have found them difficult to obtain. Although in most cases, they are quite successful in producing substantial weight loss, many have regained weight after the medication was discontinued. How much weight can patients expect to lose with these medications? When should these medications be stopped, or should they? Are there strategies that have shown benefit to help patients maintain the weight they lose once the medication is discontinued? This podcast is the second of three on using the GLP-1 medications for weight loss and we'll discuss “The Importance of Lifestyle Changes with the Use of GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss”. My guest is Dr. Tamim Rajjo, a physician trained in Preventive Medicine and Obesity Medicine from the Mayo Clinic.  Rx for Weight Loss: A Closer Look Series | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

What if everything you've been told about cancer is based on the wrong science? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this myth-busting episode, I sit down with Dr. Donese Worden, researcher, clinician, and one of 80 scientists worldwide leading the charge on the mitochondrial theory of cancer. Dr. Donese is co-founding the Society for International Metabolic Oncology and has worked with oncologists from MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, and top institutions globally to change how we approach cancer treatment at its root. We're pulling apart the misinformation in functional medicine, the dangerous trends in biohacking, and why conventional cancer care, while well-intentioned, is treating the wrong target. Dr. Donese doesn't work against oncologists; she works with them, using metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic protocols to improve chemo sensitivity, reduce side effects, and potentially target cancer stem cells that conventional care misses. You'll Discover: ●    Why only 5-10% of cancers are genetic but all conventional treatment targets DNA when the real cause is mitochondrial damage that creates cell respiration problems ●    How metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic diet support conventional cancer care by improving chemo sensitivity with fewer side effects ●    The dangerous truth about cold plunges: blood pressure spikes 50 points in seconds, has killed healthy people, especially risky for women with unbalanced hormones ●    Why wearables lie to women about sleep and recovery scores, and why listening to your body is more accurate than tracking devices ●    The Seven Pillars framework: a simple 1-10 self-assessment covering sleep, body, bowel movements, energy, mental state, relationships, and spiritual health ●    Why biohackers are often the most stressed people and how excessive tracking and forcing protocols prevents the body from healing ●    Why mitochondria are passed only through the female line and function collaboratively like matriarchal societies ●    The one biohack that's universally beneficial: sauna and heat exposure for cardiovascular health, especially advantageous for women ●    Why functional medicine practitioners giving glutamine to cancer patients are feeding the problem since glutamine is one of two pathways that fuel cancer growth This episode is for anyone navigating cancer or complicated health cases, women frustrated by wearables and contradictory health advice, or biohackers wondering if they're making things worse.  Watch now and discover why your mitochondria hold the answers.

What if everything you've been told about cancer is based on the wrong science? I'm Dr. Betty Murray, and in this myth-busting episode, I sit down with Dr. Donese Worden, researcher, clinician, and one of 80 scientists worldwide leading the charge on the mitochondrial theory of cancer. Dr. Donese is co-founding the Society for International Metabolic Oncology and has worked with oncologists from MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, and top institutions globally to change how we approach cancer treatment at its root. We're pulling apart the misinformation in functional medicine, the dangerous trends in biohacking, and why conventional cancer care, while well-intentioned, is treating the wrong target. Dr. Donese doesn't work against oncologists; she works with them, using metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic protocols to improve chemo sensitivity, reduce side effects, and potentially target cancer stem cells that conventional care misses. You'll Discover: ●     Why only 5-10% of cancers are genetic but all conventional treatment targets DNA when the real cause is mitochondrial damage that creates cell respiration problems ●     How metabolic therapies like hyperbaric oxygen and ketogenic diet support conventional cancer care by improving chemo sensitivity with fewer side effects ●     The dangerous truth about cold plunges: blood pressure spikes 50 points in seconds, has killed healthy people, especially risky for women with unbalanced hormones ●     Why wearables lie to women about sleep and recovery scores, and why listening to your body is more accurate than tracking devices ●     The Seven Pillars framework: a simple 1-10 self-assessment covering sleep, body, bowel movements, energy, mental state, relationships, and spiritual health ●     Why biohackers are often the most stressed people and how excessive tracking and forcing protocols prevents the body from healing ●     Why mitochondria are passed only through the female line and function collaboratively like matriarchal societies ●     The one biohack that's universally beneficial: sauna and heat exposure for cardiovascular health, especially advantageous for women ●     Why functional medicine practitioners giving glutamine to cancer patients are feeding the problem since glutamine is one of two pathways that fuel cancer growth   This episode is for anyone navigating cancer or complicated health cases, women frustrated by wearables and contradictory health advice, or biohackers wondering if they're making things worse.

Ever notice that it's not the everyday conversations or simple disagreements that shape the quality of a relationship—it's those high-stakes moments, the tough talks that feel risky and uncomfortable, that truly define the connection. Far too often, we skirt around what really needs to be said, trading short-term relief for long-term regret. Whether it's at work or at home, these avoided discussions can lead to resentment, disconnection, and a sense of self-abandonment. In this episode, listeners will dive deep into understanding why we tend to avoid these "last 8%" conversations, what emotional forces are at play, and how learning emotional intelligence can transform conflict into an opportunity for growth. Through practical insights and relatable stories, the discussion explores how you can recognize your own patterns under pressure, build self-awareness, and learn strategies to approach difficult dialogues with clarity, empathy, and courage. If you're ready to break out of avoidance and start showing up authentically—for yourself and your relationships—this episode offers a roadmap to addressing the hard stuff and reclaiming connection. Bill Benjamin is a Partner at the Institute for Health & Human Potential. He has degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and 30 years of business experience. Bill explains how you can build a high-performance Last 8% Culture by leveraging the science of emotional intelligence. His clients include NASA, Marriott, Intel, the Mayo Clinic, the U.S. Marines and Surgeons.   Episode Highlights 05:07 The importance and science behind emotional intelligence in relationships and business. 07:24 The origin of the "Last 8%" concept and its impact on difficult conversations. 10:03 Fight, flight, and the roles we play: Avoiders, mess-makers, and emotional triggers in relationships. 14:39 Navigating emotional intelligence at work versus at home. 18:16 The costs of avoidance. 21:06 Recognizing your role and contribution in conflict. 28:36 Understanding others' intentions in pressure situations. 29:15 Practical strategies for handling relational conflict. 35:12 Addressing shame and trauma in relationship pressure points. 36:15 Taking action: Sensitive communication and resources for emotional intelligence development.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Start with Self-Awareness: Regularly check in with your body and mind for early signs of emotional activation, like tense muscles or scattered thoughts. Pause Before Reacting: If you notice emotional triggers, pause and take several deep breaths to regain mental clarity and composure. Name Your Patterns: Reflect on whether you tend to avoid difficult conversations or "make a mess" by confronting too strongly. Get Curious About Others: In moments of tension, intentionally seek to understand the other person's perspective—what's driving their reaction or behavior? Build Empathy Bridges: Imagine stepping over to the "other side of the bridge," as suggested, to genuinely validate the other person's feelings before expressing your own. Return To The Conversation: If you need a break during a heated moment, communicate that you'll revisit the topic, rather than letting it drop indefinitely. Express Your Emotional Needs: Practice communicating your own needs and boundaries directly, knowing it's essential for building mutual respect and trust. Seek Support When Needed: If shame, trauma, or persistent avoidance is hindering healthy interactions, reach out to a therapist, mentor, or supportive resource for guidance and perspective.   Mentioned Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) The Secret to Building a High-Performing Team (Harvard Business Review article) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide) Connect with Bill Benjamin Websites: ihhp.com Facebook: facebook.com/IHHPGlobal X: x.com/IHHP YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC0UYI0Vuy99P8Hdj-r3hr4w Instagram: instagram.com/ihhpglobal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bill-benjamin-12b671  

WELCOME TO SEASON 6 OF THE MAYO CLINIC TALKS PODCAST! Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Warren G. Thompson, M.D. Alcohol can offer a variety of social and potential health benefits when consumed in moderation. However, alcohol is also associated with a variety of health risks, including addiction, increased likelihood of accidents, impaired judgment, cardiovascular problems, hepatic disease and even malignancy. Other than the social benefits, are there true health benefits of alcohol? Is there an amount of alcohol that's considered safe? How can we as primary care clinicians convey the health risks of alcohol to our patients? The topic for this podcast is the “Risks and Benefits of Alcohol” and these are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Warren G. Thompson, M.D., an internist and preventive medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic. Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts   

We discuss studies documenting the undertreatment of diabetic macular edema and possible strategies for alleviating it with Dr. Matthew Starr, Assistant Professor, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Professor Kelly Hines. Dr. Hines is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia in Athens. She received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of Florida, and then completed the Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. Her doctoral studies focused on monitoring biomolecular signatures of disease via ion mobility and mass spectrometry techniques, and then she moved on to post-doctoral experiences at two different institutions. The first stop was at the metabolomics resource core at the Mayo Clinic, and the second stop was in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Washington School of Pharmacy. Kelly has won several awards in the field of chemical analysis, including recognition as a Female Role Model in Analytical Chemistry by Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, as an Emerging Investigator by the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, an ASMS Research Award (which is one of the top honors that young investigators in MS can receive), and very recently was named as the Chemist of the Year by the Northeast Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society. In a wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the early origins of Kelly's interest in science rooted in her opportunity to explore the plant nursery managed by her father, and then her turn from civil engineering to analytical chemistry inspired by an early undergraduate course “Chemistry for Engineers”. We discuss Hines' recent and ongoing work involving the use of ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMS-MS), with pre-separation using chromatography when appropriate, for multi-omics studies, aimed at deeper understanding of the biochemistry of organisms at the metabolite level. We also discuss Kelly's positive experiences developing peer networks through regular attendance at conferences, particularly the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) annual meeting, experiences in her second post-doctoral position that inspired her to pursue an academic position, and her approach to mentoring graduate students who show up in her laboratory with diverse backgrounds, interests, and abilities.

Global Practices in Cardiac Imaging for Cardiac Sarcoidosis   Guest: Tahir Kafil, M.D. Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.   Cardiac imaging is a cornerstone in the diagnostic work-up and management of cardiac sarcoidosis. However, indications and use of advanced cardiac imaging vary from institution to institution, and even between providers at the same institution. We conducted an international Delphi consensus study of 89 global experts in cardiac sarcoidosis to evaluate real-world clinical practices and use of advanced cardiac imaging. We developed consensus for use of advanced cardiac imaging in cardiac sarcoidosis. Areas lacking consensus were noted as priority areas for research.   Topics Discussed: From a big picture perspective, how is cardiac sarcoidosis generally diagnosed? What exactly is the Delphi methodology your team used to build consensus?  The suggested algorithm for imaging in suspected cardiac sarcoidosis uses pretest probability, how was that defined? Was cardiac MRI superior to PET in your study? Does one have to be first? How do experts decide how often to do follow up PET imaging in established cardiac sarcoidosis? What were areas of priority research that were identified? The research study cited by Dr. Kafil was published on June 2, 2025.

Nutrition advice has never been louder or more polarized. From carnivore-only diets to sugar-only extremes, confident claims often race ahead of the science. In this episode, we explore three stories shaping today's nutrition debate. First, we unpack insights from a Mayo Clinic–trained physician, clinical nutrition expert, and stage 4 cancer survivor, who explains why food is medicine and why plant-forward eating and moderation continue to outperform nutrition fads. We then look at the business and media landscape around plant-based food, including the collapse of Beyond Meat's share price, comments from CEO Ethan Brown, and claims from an industry insider paid to spread anti-vegan messaging online. We also examine the science comparing meat and plant-based alternatives, including the Stanford “Swap Meat” study. Finally, we examine the rise of the carnivore diet online, driven by influencer anecdotes, and why medical experts are pushing back as concerns grow about long-term health risks and misinformation.

What happens when a health system decides that quality comes first? In this episode, Dr. Gary Kaplan, who retired as the longtime CEO of Virginia Mason and currently serves on the Board of Stewardship Trustees of CommonSpirit Health, discusses leading one of America's most influential physician-led health systems through a radical transformation focused on quality, safety, and patient-centered care. He reflects on Virginia Mason's roots as a Mayo Clinic–style group practice and why shared purpose and clinician leadership created a fundamentally different culture of care. Dr. Kaplan explains how adopting Lean management principles reshaped chaotic health care systems, reduced waste, and supported clinicians in delivering safer, more reliable care. He also discusses why fee-for-service medicine drives unsustainable costs, his advocacy for value-based and capitated payment models, and how market consolidation ultimately led to Virginia Mason's merger, despite its strong performance and independence. Tune in to explore what it truly takes to redesign health care systems around patients, clinicians, and value, rather than volume. Resources: Connect with and follow Dr. Gary Kaplan on LinkedIn.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Enjoy this re-release from Season 3 of Mayo Clinic Talks: Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Amy S. Oxentenko, M.D.   It's estimated that less than 1/3 of individuals with celiac disease have been properly diagnosed. When those with celiac disease ingest gluten, an immune response develops which attacks the small intestine leading to inadequate absorption of nutrients. If left untreated, celiac disease can lead to a variety of nutritional deficiencies as well as other serious consequences. Those with celiac disease are also at increased risk for coronary disease and small bowel cancers. In this podcast we'll review celiac disease and gluten sensitivity with our guest, Amy S. Oxentenko, M.D., a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic. We'll discuss the symptoms of celiac disease, how to diagnose the condition and how patients with celiac disease should be managed.   Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Jo Braid shares a conversation with her mother that fundamentally changed how she views career success and professional identity in healthcare. Through her mother's journey from university lecturer to teaching retirees, Jo explores how healthcare professionals can avoid the dangerous trap of tying their self-worth to professional achievements. Drawing on research from the Mayo Clinic and Stanford's WellMD Center, this episode examines the "arrival fallacy" - the belief that reaching the next career milestone will bring lasting fulfilment - and offers evidence-based strategies for reframing work as a means to support your life, not define it. Perfect for healthcare workers and helping professionals seeking to prevent burnout while maintaining meaningful careers, this episode provides practical tools for identity diversification and sustainable excellence.Resources:https://drjobraid.comwww.instagram.com/burnoutrecoverydrwww.linkedin.com/in/drjobraid I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.

Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sundeep Khosler discusses findings from the first major randomized controlled trial of senolytics in humans, revealing why cellular aging varies dramatically between individuals and what this means for longevity interventions.Dr. Sundeep Khosler, a physician-researcher at the Mayo Clinic, leads some of the first human clinical trials testing senolytics for aging and age-related diseases. In this conversation, he shares critical findings from their 60-person randomized controlled trial that challenge assumptions about how we age at the cellular level.The study revealed that senescent cell burden varies dramatically between individuals, with significant implications for who might benefit from senolytic interventions. While overall results showed modest improvements in bone formation markers, women with the highest senescent cell burden (measured through blood biomarkers) showed dramatic 60% improvements—suggesting aging interventions may require personalized approaches rather than universal protocols.Dr. Khosler discusses the development of blood-based biomarkers for measuring senescent cell burden, explains why age 70 appears to be a critical threshold, and addresses the gap between promising animal studies and human translation. He provides evidence-based guidance on what people can do now, explains why he doesn't recommend current senolytics outside clinical trials, and discusses FDA-approved medications that may impact cellular aging as secondary benefits.This interview offers a balanced, nuanced perspective on where senolytic research actually stands, moving beyond hype to understand both the promise and limitations of targeting senescent cells for healthspan.

In this throwback Dental Hacks episode, I am joined by Dr. Jason Lipscomb to welcome two absolute legends in dental education: Dr. Frank Spear and Dr. Gregg Kinzer. This interview was originally released back in 2018 and it marked the first time Jason, Frank, and Gregg sat down together on the podcast, delivering a conversation packed with history, philosophy, and actionable practice management advice. The conversation traces the evolution of dental continuing education, moving from Frank's early days of disjointed lectures to the structured, curriculum-based approach of the Spear Center today. The group discusses the dynamics of Frank and Gregg's successful 20-year partnership, emphasizing the importance of shared vision over finding a "clone." They provide deep insights into patient communication, specifically how to filter new patients using the "Emergency Room vs. Mayo Clinic" analogy and how to re-engage long-time patients in comprehensive care without making them feel neglected. Finally, they cover the importance of fighting burnout through clinical growth and the future of restorative dentistry, including the integration of airway health and online team education.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Enjoy this re-release from Season 3 of Mayo Clinic Talks:   Host: Darryl S. Chutka M.D. Guest: Lisa Lammert, R.D.N., L.D.   Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death to individuals in the U.S. Many feel that our typical American diet with its high saturated fat content is a major contributor to this. There's good evidence that shows plant-based diets are cost-effective in lowering the risk factors for cardiovascular disease including obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. They may also lower the number of medications an individual needs to take to manage their chronic diseases. So, are there any disadvantages to a plant-based diet? Are all plant-based diets healthy and what are the nutritional challenges for a patient on a plant-based diet? We'll discuss these questions in this podcast on “Plant-Based Diets”. Our guest is Lisa Lammert, a registered dietician and nutritionist at the Mayo Clinic.   Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts 

On this episode Fred Goldstein invites Sheena Crosby, PharmD, BCGP, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical Pharmacist at the Mayo Clinic in Florida.

This episode covers: • FDA Loosens Supplement Warning Labels The FDA is considering a rule change that would allow supplement companies to include the DSHEA disclaimer only once per package rather than next to every claim. Dave explains why fewer visible warnings could make marketing look more like medical claims, and why biohackers should treat labels as advertising rather than evidence. He shares how to protect yourself now: add one variable at a time, run baseline labs, and rely on data instead of packaging. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-supplements-warning-label-rule-change-rfk-jr-rcna249321 • Quantum Sensors for Early Heart Attack Detection Mayo Clinic is testing a contactless heart-monitoring system called CardiAQ using quantum magnetic sensors and AI noise filtering. The device reads subtle electromagnetic signatures from the heart and compares them to invasive angiography. Dave breaks down why earlier detection of ischemia could shift heart care from reactive treatment to proactive screening — and why building baseline metrics like VO₂max, blood pressure and HRV today will pay off when next-gen diagnostics arrive. Source: https://www.sandboxaq.com/press/sandboxaq-collaborates-with-mayo-clinic-on-novel-cardiac-diagnostics • Sauna Detox for MicroplasticsEmerging research shows that sweating meaningfully removes plastic-related chemicals like BPA and phthalate metabolites from the body, often more efficiently than blood or urine alone. Sauna use amplifies this effect by increasing circulation, mobilizing stored toxins from tissues, and accelerating sweat-based excretion. When you combine regular heat exposure with reduced environmental plastic contact, you create a powerful detox strategy that targets a chemical burden once thought unavoidable. Dave breaks down how sauna protocols can support toxin elimination, improve cardiovascular resilience, strengthen autonomic balance, and help counteract the metabolic and hormonal disruptions linked to microplastics in modern life.Source: https://superage.com/can-you-sweat-out-microplastics-in-the-sauna/ • Psychedelics and Longevity Biomarkers Bryan Johnson treated a guided psilocybin experience as a structured longevity experiment, collecting nearly 250 biomarkers including CGM, stress markers, HRV and Kernel brain imaging. The experiment revealed a surprising metabolic change: mean glucose dropped 8 percent, variability fell 11 percent, and estimated HbA1c moved from 4.7 to 4.4 — similar to months of metformin but after a single session. Dave explores the emerging idea that neuroplastic events might influence glucose regulation through brain-pancreas signaling, while emphasizing the need for supervised, legal use and proper clinical trials. Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-trip-on-mushrooms-five-hours-live-2025-12 • A Mitochondrial Protein that Extends Mouse Lifespan Researchers boosted the mitochondrial protein COX7RP and extended mouse lifespan by ~6.6 percent while improving insulin sensitivity, lipid handling, endurance and liver fat metabolism. COX7RP supports formation of mitochondrial “supercomplexes,” improving respiratory efficiency and ATP generation. Dave explains how this reinforces lifestyle levers — strength training, aerobic capacity, stabilizing blood sugar — as tools that likely preserve supercomplex architecture and mitochondrial resilience. Source: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1109082 All source links provided for direct access to the original research and reporting. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers and high-performance listeners who want practical strategies rooted in cutting-edge science. Dave Asprey translates emerging research into actionable upgrades for your biology — from metabolism and mitochondria to nervous system health, detox, and prevention.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Cory Ingram, M.D. As primary care providers, we have the privilege of guiding our patients through their healthcare journey, healing their medical conditions, managing them through chronic illness and at times, assisting them through the final chapters of their life. The topic for today's podcast is “Hospice”, an important though often underutilized part of that journey. Hospice is not about giving up, it's about changing the direction and goal of our care from cure to comfort. It prioritizes quality of life and maintaining dignity for patients going through a very challenging period of their life. My guest is Cory Ingram, M.D., a family medicine and palliative care physician from the Mayo Clinic who has extensive experience and insight into this topic. He'll guide us through when we should consider hospice, who qualifies for hospice and the importance of good communication skills in helping patients and their families during this last period of their life.
