 There has been a sharp spike in silicosis diagnoses among workers who work with engineered stone countertops. The ATS released a report in 2026 on the subject, “Silicosis in the Artificial Stone Countertop Industry: An Official American Thoracic Society Workshop Report”. One of the report's authors Kristin Cummings, MD, MPH, California Department of Public Health, and expert Maeve McMurdo, MBChB, Cleveland Clinic, discuss why engineered stone can cause severe, rapidly progressive lung disease in young workers as well as the limitations of current workplace protections. On this episode of the ATS Breathe Easy podcast, they also highlight safer alternatives, the importance of recognizing occupational exposures, and what clinicians, employers, and consumers can do to help protect workers.

Burnout expert Dr Anton Janse van Rensburg is a practising medical doctor from Pretoria, South Africa, with 27 years of experience as an Integrative Practitioner. Besides his MBChB degree, he has a Master's degree in Applied Human Nutrition from the University of Pretoria, and an Advanced Management Diploma from Manchester Business School. He is also a trained metal toxicologist.His clinical practice focuses on burnout, mood disorders, adjuvant therapy for cancer patients, auto-immune disorders, severe intestinal conditions, and chronic infectious diseases.Summary of PodcastKey TakeawaysBurnout is a systemic depletion, not just fatigue. It results from neglecting many small, daily habits (rest, connection, diet), not just from overwork.Dr. Anton's method is prescriptive and holistic. It prioritises daily habits (e.g., 20-min power naps, strong connections) and uses comprehensive tests to find root causes before considering medication.Nutrition is a primary tool for managing chronic conditions. A high-fat, low-carb diet can reverse Type 2 diabetes and stabilise mood by reducing cravings for refined carbs and optimising brain chemistry.Purpose and challenge are critical for longevity. Complete retirement is a risk factor for rapid aging; staying engaged with meaningful work or new challenges is essential for maintaining brain health.Burnout: Root Causes & Holistic SolutionsDefinition: A systemic depletion from neglecting many small, interconnected daily habits (physiological, emotional), not just from overwork.Origin of Insight: Dr. Anton's experience managing health for 9,000 workers on a high-stress construction site in Maputo, Mozambique (2000–2003).This role involved diagnosing 30–40 malaria cases daily and managing fatalities, providing a "crossroads" experience that informed his later focus on burnout.Dr. Anton's Prescriptive Approach:Initial Assessment: A deep history of work hours, rest habits, and personal connections.Daily Respite: Prescribes short, scheduled breaks to manage the body's natural circadian dip.Power Naps: 20-minute naps are ideal; naps >1 hour are detrimental to brain health.Social Connection: Emphasises strong relationships with friends, family, and colleagues, citing research on their importance for resilience and longevity.Physiological Testing: Uses comprehensive tests (bloods, stress ECGs) to find root causes, not just manage symptoms.Kevin's Experience: Burnout led to "reduced performance"—sitting at the desk with a large to-do list but accomplishing nothing.Solution: Stepped away from the desk more often and re-prioritised tasks to reduce stress.Mood Disorders & The Role of NutritionDefinition: A broad term for unstable brain chemistry, which can manifest as sadness, cynicism, or even physical fatigue (e.g., heavy limbs, a known symptom of low serotonin).Societal Factors: Increased prevalence in younger generations is linked to social media exposure and a sedentary lifestyle, both of which negatively impact brain chemistry.Nutrition as a Primary Tool:Core Principle: The brain requires healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts, meat) and is harmed by refined carbohydrates.Mechanism: A high-fat, low-carb diet reduces cravings for refined carbs, which drives illness and instability.Case Study (Mood Disorder): A patient with a severe mood disorder saw significant improvement within 48 hours of starting a high-fat, low-carb diet, avoiding hospitalization.Case Study (Type 2 Diabetes): A patient on metformin for 25 years was advised to challenge the medication's necessity.Process: A low-carb, high-fat diet for six months, monitored with fasting insulin and HbA1c tests, can reveal if the pancreas can function without medication.Outcome: If successful, medication can be slowly and carefully reduced.Calorie Counting: Dr. Anton strongly advises against restrictive diets and calorie counting, as they are unsustainable and against human nature.The Future of Work & PurposeAI's Impact: The potential for AI to eliminate jobs raises concerns about a loss of purpose and meaning, which are often tied to work and contribution.Retirement & Longevity: Dr. Anton cautions that complete retirement is a risk factor for rapid aging.Recommendation: Stay engaged with meaningful activities (consulting, volunteering, mentoring) to maintain brain health and purpose.Challenge: The brain, like a muscle, needs to be challenged to grow and stay healthy. Avoiding challenges is detrimental to long-term well-being.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Guest: Carel le Roux, MBChB, MSC, FRCP, FRCPath, PhD New findings from the SYNCHRONIZE-1 trial reveal that survodutide's impact extends beyond weight reduction, with a demonstrated decrease in liver fat and meaningful improvements across multiple markers of metabolic health in patients without type 2 diabetes. Dr. Carel le Roux joins us to share the efficacy and safety data and explore what these results could mean for the future of metabolic disease management. Dr. Le Roux is the Director of the Metabolic Medicine Group and a Professor of Chemical Pathology in the School of Medicine at University College Dublin, and he presented these findings at the 2026 American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.

From ultra-processed foods and pesticides to environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, and chronic disease, it can feel overwhelming to try to make sense of it all - - - especially when our health "authorities" seem to continuously change their minds about what's good for us and what's killing us - - - and everything seems to be poison now. In this eye-opening conversation, Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with veteran pediatrician, integrative physician, author, speaker, and health freedom fighter, and author Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, DHom, to discuss one of the biggest questions of today: How do we pursue true health in an increasingly toxic world? Drawing from more than four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Perro shares her perspective on the growing health challenges affecting children and adults alike, why so many people are searching for answers outside conventional approaches, and what practical steps individuals can take to reclaim their health. Together, Jamie and Michelle dive into topics including: • What's making our children sick and how we can begin making them well • Glyphosate, GMOs, fluoride, and environmental toxic burden • The MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and why it continues to gain momentum • Why curiosity is one of the most important skills we can develop in today's world • The importance of critical thinking and informed decision-making • Finding trustworthy health information in an age of information overload • Lyme disease, chronic illness, and environmental health concerns • The role of food as the foundation of physical and mental wellness • Transhumanism, AI, technology, and the future of human health • Why community matters when pursuing a different path toward wellness • How young people can become empowered advocates for their own health • Why the choices we make today may impact future generations One of the most powerful themes throughout this conversation is the idea that health is often visible. Spend time around people who prioritize nutrient-dense food, clean water, movement, sunshine, meaningful relationships, and foundational wellness, and you'll often notice a difference. There is a vibrance, energy, resilience, and optimism that stands out. Jamie and Michelle discuss how surrounding yourself with people who value health can accelerate your own journey and help you stay the course when the path feels unconventional. Whether it's attending a health conference, joining a local Weston A. Price chapter, connecting with practitioners, or simply finding friends who share similar values, this episode highlights the importance of finding community and support as you pursue a healthier life. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts with paying attention. Asking questions. Staying curious. Learning to think critically. And taking ownership of the choices that shape your health and the future health of those around you. Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode!

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently qualified "total hip bone mineral density" as a surrogate endpoint to support clinical trials for osteoporosis drugs. This decision will significantly impact clinical trials moving forward, as the traditional endpoint of "fracture outcomes" presented many challenges regarding sample size, duration, and cost. The change came about because of findings from the study to advance bone mineral density as a Regulatory Endpoint Project, also known as the SABRE project.What is the SABRE project, and how did it arrive at these findings? How will this decision affect the design of clinical trials and time to approval of new osteoporosis therapies? To help answer these questions and many more, Host Aaron Lohr spoke with three leaders of the SABRE Project: Dennis M. Black, PhD, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco; Richard Eastell, MBChB, PhD, FRCP, FMedSci, professor of bone metabolism at the University of Sheffield, and Mary L. Bouxsein, PhD, professor of orthopedic surgery at Harvard Medical School.

In this podcast, experts Hope S. Rugo, MD, FASCO; Giuseppe Curigliano, MD, PhD; Paolo Tarantino, MD, PhD; and Alastair Thompson, MD, MBChB, BSc (Hons), FRCS (Ed), FACS; discuss and debate recently published results of pivotal clinical trials in early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer and their implications for patient care.

For many women, a history of breast cancer has meant an automatic “no” when it comes to menopausal hormone therapy. But is the story really that simple? In this video, we explore a more nuanced and evolving conversation—one grounded in decades of research, including the work of Avrum Z. Bluming, MD, and other leading experts who have closely examined the data on hormone therapy after breast cancer. Across multiple studies and reviews spanning over 40 years, the evidence paints a more complex picture. While certain risks—such as thromboembolism with oral formulations—are well documented, the long-held belief that hormone therapy universally increases breast cancer recurrence or mortality is increasingly being questioned. In fact, most studies have not shown an increase in breast cancer–related death, and only one trial demonstrated a limited increase in local (not distant) recurrence. At the same time, menopausal hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for symptoms that deeply affect quality of life—while also offering potential benefits for cardiovascular health, bone strength, cognitive function, and longevity. So where does this leave us? This video is not about giving a one-size-fits-all answer. It's about encouraging thoughtful, informed decision-making. It's about moving beyond fear-based assumptions and toward individualized care—where risks and benefits are carefully weighed, and where women feel empowered to ask questions, seek multiple perspectives, and have meaningful conversations with their physicians. Because the most important takeaway is this: you deserve to be fully informed. Resources: Hormone Replacement Therapy After Breast Cancer: It Is Time Avrum Z.

He is Executive Director of Onaya, Lecturer in Psychology and Psychedelics at the University of Exeter, and Chief Medical Officer of MINDS, with a focus on integrative and relational approaches to healing and consciousness. In this conversation, Dr. Ruffell explores the emerging research on ayahuasca as a treatment for PTSD, drawing on both Western scientific models and Indigenous Shipibo knowledge systems. He outlines how ayahuasca may work through mechanisms such as increased neuroplasticity, disruption of rigid predictive models, and potential epigenetic shifts related to stress and trauma, while emphasizing that these biological explanations exist alongside Indigenous understandings of "cleaning ancestral lines." Sharing preliminary findings from his ongoing research with military veterans in collaboration with Heroic Hearts Project, Dr. Ruffell discusses significant reductions in PTSD symptoms at six-month follow-up, the powerful role of community and ceremony, and the ethical complexities of studying sacred practices through Western scientific tools. He closes with a moving story of a veteran whose healing journey illustrates both the promise and the limits of psychedelic medicine when embedded in relational and cultural context.   In this episode, you'll hear: Western scientific theories for how ayahuasca may alleviate PTSD How trauma-related epigenetic changes may be transmitted across generations Preliminary results from Dr. Ruffell's study of ayahuasca for veterans diagnosed with PTSD The role of community bonding and peer support among veterans in maintaining therapeutic gains Why ayahuasca research in the Amazon includes a broader plant-based healing system—not just the brew itself How Indigenous healers interpret epigenetic findings as confirmation of longstanding ancestral frameworks The ethical considerations of bringing Western measurement tools (like EEG) into sacred ceremonial contexts   Quotes: "This is what I find most interesting about our research—that it is cutting edge science but at the same time, when we conduct it with indigenous healers, we get a whole new perspective on what could be happening when it comes to interpreting the results and also making decisions of what to research as well." [14:09] "According to measures of PTSD on the scales that we're looking at, over 80% of the participants that were scoring for PTSD before their ayahuasca retreats and no longer scoring for PTSD at that six month follow up. So it's not just immediately after the ayahuasca retreats. It's six months later. And that's super, super encouraging." [15:52] "When we take things to the lab, one of the reasons that we might see the effect size diminishing is because we no longer have shamanism, basically, which is exerting a huge effect." [16:55] "Traditionally what would happen is that the curandero would drink ayahuasca and the participants would just be there and the curandero would use the visions that they had with ayahuasca to look into the participants and to diagnose them. And then the healing would come through them singing their medicinal chants, which are the icaros. And then afterwards they would give them a prescription of plants or whatever it is that they needed. And sometimes the prescription would be to drink ayahuasca, but most of the time it wouldn't be. [27:18] "You can't separate like DMT, in my eyes, from the rest of the compounds in ayahuasca, from the ceremony, from the jungle. That, in my opinion, is what makes up Shipibo. Otherwise you just have a bunch of chemicals."

Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD is joined by Martin K. Stiles, MBChB, PhD, FHRS, University of Auckland and Waikato Hospital and Eloi Marijon, MD, PhD, Paris University & European Georges Pompidou Hospital, to discuss this Danish nationwide study examines the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) as well as all-cause mortality (ACM). Analyzing all deaths in Denmark from 2010, researchers found a strong inverse association between both income and education level and the risk of SCD and ACM. Individuals in the lowest income and education groups had significantly higher rates of SCD, even after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities. The study highlights that despite Denmark's universal healthcare system, socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes persist, suggesting that factors beyond healthcare access—such as health literacy, lifestyle, and systemic inequalities—play a crucial role. The findings call for further research into the mechanisms driving these disparities and the development of targeted prevention strategies.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/27/4/euaf001/7958953?login=false Host Disclosure(s): M.

Americans say there is no place for the likes of McDonald's and Chick-fil-A in hospitals.   The giants of fast food are serving greasy, fatty, artery-clogging foods in the same building where patients are receiving artery-opening stents and pacemakers. Often these lifesaving surgeries are just a floor or two above where the unhealthy combo meals are being served up.   In a way it's like having an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting above a bar. It just doesn't make sense.   Eating fast food four times a week may increase heart disease risk by 80%, according to one study.   So, why is it happening?   Dr. Roxanne Becker joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to talk about the findings of the hospital survey that revealed mounting frustrations with the state of hospital food.   — — SHOW LINKS — — Hospital Fast Food Survey Background: https://bit.ly/PCRMHospitalFoodSurvey Full survey: https://bit.ly/FastFoodHospitals2024 — — — Roxanne Becker, MBChB, DipIBLM Bio: https://www.pcrm.org/about-us/staff/roxanne-becker — — — Free Athlete Nutrition E-Book https://www.pcrm.org/athlete — — BECOME AN EXAM ROOM VIP — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy​​ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
