What if the surgery that fixed your knee did no better than fake surgery? EconTalk host Russ Roberts speaks with Dr. John Mandrola about a striking clinical trial in which patients who received sham knee surgery (a real incision, but no actual repair) did as well or better than those who had the actual procedure--one performed 700,000 times annually in the U.S. The conversation ranges from the power of placebo and nocebo effects (how expectation of harm can cause real suffering) to the broader philosophy of "medical conservatism"--the idea that humility, watchful waiting, and honest counsel often serve patients better than the knife. Mandrola argues that financial incentives, professional identity, and language itself ("bone-on-bone," "the widowmaker") conspire to push patients toward interventions that can do more harm than good.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the near-collapse of the Trump Iran Peace Deal as Tehran pulls out of negotiations, announces its intent to pursue a nuclear weapon, and reasserts control over the Strait of Hormuz through drone strikes and missile exchanges with US forces. With the Middle East on edge, Bryan also covers a historic framework peace agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel, both united in pushing Iran and Hezbollah out of the region, while Hezbollah vows civil war in response. On the home front, Bryan tracks the widening civil war inside the Democrat Party as avowed Marxists rack up electoral wins and party leadership fractures over how to respond, with Trump calling it the most serious threat to the country in 250 years. Bryan also addresses a Washington Post analysis finding that AI chatbots carry political bias and should not be used as fact-checkers. Plus, Ukraine's drones pound Russian refineries and infrastructure in what Kyiv calls "Ukraine's sanctions," Germany's military recruitment disaster forces a reckoning with mandatory service, and Texas researchers find a promising gut bacteria connection for lupus patients.

This, I believe is because health anxiety is rarely satisfied by information alone. In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast we will explore what happens when the mind becomes dependent on outside confirmation before it feels safe in the body. You may know logically that you have been checked. You may have been reassured more than once. You may even understand that anxiety can create real physical symptoms. Yet something inside still asks, "But what if this time is different?" This episode will help you understand why reassurance can become part of the fear pattern, how the search for certainty keeps the nervous system on alert, and why true recovery requires something deeper than another answer. Inside this episode, we'll explore: Why reassurance can calm the mind briefly but fail to create lasting safety. How health anxiety teaches the brain to mistrust the body. Why repeated checking, researching, and asking can keep the alarm system active. How to begin responding to symptoms without turning them into threats. Why recovery is not about being 100% certain, but becoming more grounded in uncertainty. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in the loop of body scanning, Googling symptoms, asking others for reassurance, replaying doctor visits, or needing one more sign that everything is okay. Healing begins when you stop outsourcing safety to the next answer and begin rebuilding a steady relationship with yourself. Resources & Links Health Anxiety Recovery Program A guided path for those ready to move beyond fear, symptom obsession, and the constant need to be reassured.

"There are a huge array of medical dynamics that people endure, and when they leave a lasting impact, a word that we don't use widely enough is the word 'trauma.' There's an entire category of phenomena in the medical arena that are, in fact, traumatic. One way we know that these experiences are traumatic is that we know that huge portions of people who experience things like cancer do indeed develop problems like [post-traumatic stress disorder]," James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about understanding medical trauma in oncology.

Highlights From This Episode "Many people have a notion about what medical trauma is, but perhaps they lack a definition. I use a definition that is deliberately broad because I think it is better to be inclusive than exclusive. A medical trauma to me is a medical experience or a medical encounter that basically leaves a mark. It leaves an emotional mark, and that mark is significant enough to disrupt your daily life." TS 2:06 "When somebody develops a life-threatening illness—let's say cancer—it's not their problem only. It's very much a family problem. It affects any manner of people. There is literature that says that family members of people with life-threatening conditions often have rates of PTSD that are every bit as high as the patients do. There's also literature that says that if we can identify this issue as a family problem—a family challenge, not just an individual challenge—then very often that patient is going to do better." TS 8:23 "We just need to make space for people to feel however they feel. And we need to emphasize, I think, that in some ways, even though there's no cancer on the scan, cancer casts a long shadow in the lives of people, which is why when patients after cancer see their primary care provider, when they come back for a checkup with oncology, we need to continue this conversation of 'How is your mental health? Are you okay? How's your anxiety? How are you managing?' … We need to be really curious and kind, and we need to query people about how they're doing, even if officially they don't have cancer." TS 16:20 "Trauma-informed care has become a bit of a buzzword in our culture. But when it is engaged correctly, I think it's really important. And I think in a nutshell, what it means is that as providers, we need to recognize that some situations and circumstances are likely to be traumatic, and we need to pivot and engage people differently now that we know that. Specific features of trauma-informed care might be we're really going to value your emotional safety. We're going to emphasize that. We are going to emphasize boundaries. We are going to ask your permission instead of telling you how to do things. We are going to be really attentive to the language we use to engage you because we're aware of there might be things about your situation that are really triggering." TS 28:15 "I think one [misconception] certainly is that it is only afflicting and affecting people who are frail or weak—not very strong. That's emphatically not true. But that's a popular misconception—that if I'm strong enough, if I'm resilient enough, this experience will not be traumatic to me. It's just not true. Medical trauma doesn't just happen in emotionally weak people. Medical trauma can impact people of all sorts." TS 33:42 "The other misconception, I think, is that there is no hope for people in the throes of medical trauma. I'm not advocating 'hopium,' It's a term that was coined, I think, during the pandemic. I don't think that living with medical trauma is all rainbows and unicorns and shiny things. But the truth is, if you get the treatment that you need, you can find a way to thrive with medical trauma even as you're impacted by medical trauma. This, this 'both-and-ness' is really true. You can both be adversely affected and you can even find some beauty in your struggle. Both can be true." TS 34:13 "I wish people understood that there is a name for this phenomenon. We're naming it here today medical trauma. Not everyone who has cancer has medical trauma—not even close—but there are many people who do. And I think many of those people, they don't quite have a name for it. And when I introduce this name for it—trauma—many of them say, 'Oh, my gosh, that makes so much sense. I didn't quite understand why I was struggling so much with this. I didn't quite understand why it casts such a long shadow in my life. I didn't really understand why I was having panic attacks every time I had to get another scan at the oncology office to see if my breast cancer had returned. Now I understand. Now I understand it's because it was trauma.'" TS 35:09

In this re-aired favorite conversation, Dr. William Li makes the case for a more reasonable way to think about health, one that gives people agency without trapping them in food fear, rigid rules, or social media panic. He reframes some of the biggest anxieties around aging, including cancer, inflammation, glucose, vascular health, and protein, with a physician-scientist's insistence on context. The practical takeaways are clear: support blood vessel health, feed the microbiome, choose protein intelligently after 50, and understand how added sugar and natural sugars do very different things in the body. This is a conversation about using food as medicine in daily life, without turning health into another source of stress.Join Us at the 2026 Super Age Games!

Too many diagnoses. Too many opinions. Too many tabs open. Not enough clarity. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to navigate Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, or other complex health issues, you're not alone. In this episode of Bendy Bodies with the Hypermobility MD, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by physician assistant Rebecca Gluck, PA-C, who brings specialized genetics experience from working alongside Dr. Clair Francomano and serves on the Ehlers-Danlos Society's Medical and Scientific Advisory Board and Road to 2026 Research Committee. Together, they discuss how patients and families can move from information overload to a clearer, more practical plan. They explore how to evaluate online communities, AI tools, direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and conflicting medical opinions without becoming even more overwhelmed. Rebecca and Dr. Bluestein explain why diagnosis is often the beginning, not the end, of the journey, and why there is no single "EDS expert" who can solve every problem in one visit. They also walk through how to prioritize symptoms, identify the most functionally limiting issues, avoid unnecessary "whack-a-mole" interventions, and build a collaborative care team. This conversation is for anyone who has too many diagnoses, too many opinions, too many tabs open, and no clear next step. If you are trying to make sense of EDS, HSD, hypermobility, mast cell activation, POTS, chronic pain, genetic testing, AI-generated health information, or proposed procedures, this episode offers practical guidance to help you pause, sort through the noise, and move forward with more clarity. Takeaways: • Information overload is real, especially for people with EDS, HSD, POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, and complex multisystem symptoms. • More information does not always mean more clarity. The key is learning what applies to you, right now. • AI tools and direct-to-consumer genetic testing can help organize questions, but they are not diagnostic and can make uncertain findings sound more certain than they are. • A diagnosis can provide validation and shared language, but it is usually the start of building a plan, not the finish line. • Hypermobile EDS (hEDS) and HSD currently do not have a confirmatory genetic test. • No single clinician can be the expert in everything. Progress often comes from a collaborative care team and a clinician willing to listen, learn, and help prioritize. • When multiple diagnoses and procedures are on the table, focusing on the most functionally limiting symptoms can help prevent unnecessary or poorly timed interventions. • Addressing underlying contributors such as mast cell activation, dysautonomia, sleep, nutrition, pain, and deconditioning may sometimes reduce the need for more invasive steps. • The goal is not to chase every possible diagnosis at once. The goal is to identify the next best step. Go to AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code BENDY_ to get UP TO $300 off today! Want more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall health How sleep, stress, and insulin resistance may be affecting your hormones The overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper dysfunction What many women get wrong about PCOS and hormone health Practical strategies to support fertility, reduce inflammation, and improve long-term health Health challenges don't begin when symptoms become impossible to ignore. They often start years earlier. Being able to recognize those signals is one of the most effective ways to take a proactive approach to your health. Looking for a place to start? My 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.

Some of us struggle going to the doctor. Some of us shrink in terror at the sight of nail clippers. But when individuals with histories of avoiding medical care need help learning to tolerate these necessary procedures, what treatments can we use?

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by Michelle Perro, M.D. — integrative pediatrician, environmental medicine specialist, and CEO and founder of [GMO Science](https://gmoscience.org) — for a detailed look at how genetically modified organisms have reshaped the American food supply and what families can do to protect themselves. Dr. Perro began researching the intersection of GMOs, pesticides, and children's health in the early 2000s, and this conversation reflects more than two decades of that clinical work.

In 2020, Emily Mendenhall drove from Washington, DC to Okoboji, Iowa, a town of 800 that swells to 200,000 every summer, and walked into a pandemic that looked nothing like the one dominating national headlines. Inside gas stations and bars, masks marked you as an outsider. In one stop, a man told her family they would not be served if they kept theirs on. Her 6 year old daughter cried, confused. Mendenhall, a medical anthropologist at Georgetown University, did what she always does. She started asking questions. Over months, she interviewed neighbors, former classmates, and local officials, including her own brother in law who helped lead the local COVID response. The result became Unmasked, a case study in how community identity, economics, and politics shaped public health decisions in real time. That work led directly into her latest book, Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVID, where she tracks a much older problem. Patients with chronic illness, especially women, often fail to meet medicine's demand for proof. Without a clear diagnosis, they lose access to care, insurance coverage, and legitimacy. Mendenhall argues that long COVID did not create this failure. It exposed it.This conversation centers on how healthcare systems reward certainty and punish complexity. Long COVID clinics send patients to 17 specialists without resolution. Insurance structures require diagnoses that many conditions cannot provide. Medical training still struggles to integrate trauma, mental health, and chronic disease into a coherent model of care.Mendenhall brings lived experience into the conversation. After COVID, she dealt with months of fatigue and escalating anxiety that altered her baseline health. She does not claim the label of long COVID, but she understands how quickly the system becomes harder to navigate once symptoms stop fitting clean categories. The stakes are not theoretical. In the United States, access to healthcare, disability benefits, and treatment still depends on whether a condition can be measured, coded, and reimbursed. For millions living with invisible illness, the burden of proof becomes the illness itself.RELATED LINKSEmily MendenhallInvisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVIDScience PoliticsGeorgetown UniversityFEEDBACKLike this episode?

AI in medtech is most valuable when it supports better clinical decisions, not when it replaces clinicians. In this episode, Alexis Anderson speaks with Will Mauldin, Co-Founder and CEO of Rivanna Medical, live from DeviceTalks Boston. Will explains how Rivanna is bringing AI-enabled imaging to clinical settings where providers have traditionally relied on blind or manual procedures, beginning with epidural anesthesia guidance and expanding into fracture detection. He shares how the company's handheld spine guidance technology helps clinicians visualize the epidural space, use AI as a confirmation tool, and build confidence through consistent outcomes. Will also discusses broader medtech trends around AI, automation, connected devices, and robotics, along with funding challenges for mid-stage companies and Rivanna's upcoming FDA milestones. Tune in and learn how AI-enabled imaging can improve safety, reduce bottlenecks, and support clinicians in high-demand care environments. Resources Connect and follow Will Mauldin on LinkedIn.

Some kids are picky eaters, but when does it become something more?Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming for families, especially when mealtimes become stressful, food choices become extremely limited, or concerns about nutrition start to grow. That's why I was excited to welcome feeding specialist Margaryta Kuzmin to the podcast. Together, we unpacked the difference between typical picky eating and pediatric feeding disorders, and why early support can make such a meaningful difference.Margaryta shares the developmental reasons many children go through selective eating phases, along with important red flags that may signal a deeper concern. We also explore why feeding difficulties are rarely about food alone. Medical, nutritional, motor, sensory, and social factors can all play a role. I especially loved our discussion about how providers can approach these conversations with families in a supportive, compassionate way.Whether you're a speech-language pathologist, BCBA, educator, or parent, this conversation highlights the power of collaboration and why feeding concerns deserve attention early on.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:The difference between picky eating and pediatric feeding disordersCommon feeding red flags that professionals and parents should watch forWhy medical, nutritional, sensory, and motor factors all matterThe professionals who make up a strong feeding team and how they work togetherMentioned In This Episode:Feeding MattersKuzmin SLPMargaryta Kuzmin on InstagramEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

ThePrint correspondent Sneha Richhariya examines why some of AIIMS Delhi's most senior doctors left India's premier public medical institution years before retirement. Between 2023 and 2025, at least 15 senior faculty members, including several heads of department, opted for voluntary retirement. Most later joined private hospitals. Their departures come as AIIMS struggles with hundreds of vacant faculty posts, growing competition from the private healthcare sector, housing shortages, and concerns over governance and internal politics. Drawing on conversations with more than a dozen current and former AIIMS doctors, this video explores what is driving the exodus, how it could affect the institute's future, and why many doctors now see AIIMS as a stepping stone rather than a lifelong career destination. The video also looks at the history of AIIMS, the growing salary gap between public and private healthcare, findings of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health, and the reforms experts believe are needed to retain India's top medical talent.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/health/bureaucracy-slow-career-growth-private-sectors-pull-a-quiet-exodus-of-doctors-at-aiims-delhi/2964388/

Midjourney spent years helping people generate impossible images. Then it used that image money to build a machine designed to look inside the human body.In Episode 71, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn, two men with zero medical degrees and a medically concerning level of confidence, unpack Midjourney Medical and David Holz's surprise hardware reveal. At the center is the Midjourney Scanner, a water-based, full-body Ultrasonic CT prototype designed to capture detailed 3D body maps in roughly 60 seconds.They break down how the scanner uses sound waves, water, and serious computing power; why Midjourney plans to introduce it through a San Francisco spa; and how a bootstrapped company with no investors can make a bet this strange. They also separate the scanner's current body-composition ambitions from the much bigger MRI-level future Midjourney hopes to pursue through research, testing, and FDA approval.Then the episode gets even less normal.Claude Fable 5 appears, dramatically accelerates Rory's coding, Blender, and MCP workflows, and disappears days later following a US government directive. Naturally, this sends the hosts directly into Conspiracy Corner with no adult supervision.Along the way, Drew and Rory explore how brand adoption of AI has changed, why some of the most advanced commercial AI work stays hidden behind NDAs, how companies can reward employees for useful AI innovation, and why first-time reaction content remains one of the internet's strongest viral formats.Is Midjourney's full-body scanner a medical breakthrough, an ambitious wellness experiment, or the first clue to a much larger hardware roadmap? The hosts attempt to answer that question while also discussing the World Cup, the Knicks, government intervention, possible AI futures, and several topics their wives wisely avoid asking them about.---⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Knicks, World Cup, and viral tourism10:14 Sports, culture, and AI gatherings13:06 Midjourney reveals secret hardware15:49 David Holz explains the bigger mission18:27 The 60-second full-body medical scanner20:18 How bootstrapping made this possible23:26 Water, spas, and medical skepticism28:56 The scanner demo and nine-person team40:30 Midjourney's bigger secret roadmap48:11 How brand AI adoption has changed58:57 Claude Fable 5 appears, then vanishes1:00:41 Inside the Fable 5 conspiracy corner1:04:48 Why Fable 5 felt revolutionary1:13:58 The AI race and 12 possible futures1:18:22 Four years of Midjourney and the outro

Episode 320 - “The Loneliness of Being Emotionally Self-Aware”What happens when you've done the work… but the people around you haven't? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the often-overlooked loneliness that can come with emotional self-awareness. The experience of recognizing patterns, understanding your reactions, and striving for growth—while feeling disconnected from others who may not see the same things you do. They talk about emotional labor, relationship mismatches, outgrowing old dynamics, and the quiet isolation that can arise when your inner world changes before your outer world does. This isn't about being better than anyone else. It's about understanding the challenges that can come with growth—and finding ways to stay connected without abandoning yourself.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a US-Iran peace deal that fell apart over the weekend, with Tehran declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed to all traffic but its own and President Trump threatening to seize the waterway by force. Bryan covers the deepening disconnect between a White House offering carrots and sticks and an Iranian regime whose Supreme Leader openly calls jihad his primary option, including new reporting that the IRGC is building secret assassination squads in Iraq to target US forces. He also tracks the global drone wars, from Ukraine bloodying Russia's refineries to illegal aliens charged in a plot to attack the White House grounds, and explains why Trump's deportation push is starting to bring down home prices and rent for American families. Plus, the fight over the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC and why Bryan sees it as a battle over whether Americans are allowed to celebrate their own country, China's tightening squeeze on critical minerals like indium, and the surprising mental health benefits of Nordic walking.

Send us Fan MailWhat would it really mean to shorten neonatology fellowship training to two years? In this episode, Ben and co-host Dr. Shetal Shah sit down with three division heads, Dr. Jill Maron (Brown), Dr. Patrick McNamara (University of Iowa), and Dr. Sarah Taylor (Yale), to examine the ABP's proposed changes from the perspective of those who run major academic NICUs. From the operational and financial strain of losing an entire class of third-year fellows, to the erosion of scholarly development, dwell time, and faculty wellbeing, the conversation makes clear that the costs of this proposal go far deeper than the curriculum. How do you staff an 80-bed NICU without junior fellows? Who funds the gap? And what happens to the next generation of academic neonatologists if we train them in isolation from the very experiences that shape their identity as clinicians and scholars?Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Have you been asking yourself lately, “Where is all the money going?” Or have you noticed that certain procedures are simply less productive than they used to be? Maybe you've even wondered to yourself, “I feel like I'm working harder and making less, what is happening?” If these thoughts sound familiar, then tune into this episode. Dr. Kuba and Bethany spend time discussing current trends in the MAD world of insurance. The fact of the matter is in-network practices actually are making less now due to changes in insurance. Practice owners must equip themselves with the tools needed to evaluate what has changed, why it has changed, and what they can do about it. Insurance is, no doubt, a world than can drive one mad. However, it is a world that must be won by practice owners. Listen in as practical tips are discussed.

In 2006, Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer walked into a crowded Columbus bar at the start of spring break — and was never seen again.The cameras showed him near the Ugly Tuna Saloona shortly before closing time. They showed him talking casually near the entrance. They showed him turn away. But they never clearly showed him leaving. What followed became one of the most baffling missing person cases in modern Ohio true crime: searches of the South Campus Gateway complex, theories about hidden exits and blind spots, questions about foul play, accident, voluntary disappearance, and a family left waiting for answers that still have not come.This episode of Terrifying & True investigates the disappearance of Brian Shaffer, the Ohio State medical student who vanished from Columbus on April 1, 2006. We examine the final surveillance footage, the search efforts, the role of camera blind spots, the theories that have followed the case for nearly two decades, and the human heartbreak behind one of America's most haunting unsolved mysteries.Brian Shaffer was not a legend. He was a son, a brother, a boyfriend, a future doctor, and a grieving young man standing at the edge of the rest of his life. Then, somewhere between a crowded bar and the outside world, he disappeared.We're telling that story tonight.

Most of us have opened a bill and found ourselves in a mild state of shock over the debt it contains. Medical bills, tax bills, loans, whatever it was, it may have felt insurmountable in that moment. Imagine if a benefactor walked up to us, took that bill, tore it up, and declared that they would take care of it. As Pastor Ricky reminds us in today's message, that is exactly what Christ has done for us. He took our debt of sin, a debt we could never pay, and He paid it with His own life on the cross."Mighty Fortress" by Sovereign Grace Music, used with permission.

The conversation centers around newly reported findings involving the use of ivermectin and mebendazole in cancer patients. Dr. McCullough explains how observational data collected through The Wellness Company and the McCullough Foundation showed an 84% positive response signal among participants, including cases of remission, disease stabilization, and reductions in tumor burden. He discusses the biological mechanisms being investigated, including effects on cancer cell proliferation, blood supply, and apoptosis. Beyond cancer treatment, Josh and Dr. McCullough explore the broader epidemic of chronic illness. They examine the dramatic rise in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the role of environmental exposures, immune dysregulation, microbiome disruption, and the growing evidence that many chronic conditions may be driven by root-cause factors rather than purely genetic predisposition. If you're interested in gut health, inflammation, the microbiome, immune function, cancer prevention, or root-cause medicine, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at some of the most important health conversations happening today.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Repurposed Medications & Observational Cancer Research Cancer Treatment Models & Oncology Practices Environmental Causes of Disease COVID-Era Medical Controversies Cancer Prevention Strategies & Nutrition Medical Institutions, Regulation & Research Funding Emerging diagnostic technologies for cancer detection   More from Dr. Peter McCullough: Website: thefocalpoints.com Instagram: petermcculloughmd Youtube: @petermcculloughmd X: @P_McCulloughMD Substack: Focal Points More About Dr. Peter McCullough: petermcculloughmd.com Get Dr. Peter's Book: Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality Get Dr. Peter's Book: The Courage to Face Covid 19 Listen To Dr. Peter's Podcast: The McCullough Report   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

In this episode Phil Vella, founder of Vita Bella, returns to break down the wild west of the gray market peptide industry. He shares new data showing 70 percent of research peptides now fail purity and contamination testing, why so many random people are running peptide side hustles out of their garages, and the real risks of injection site infections and improperly dosed products. They cover why hormone optimization should always come before peptides, the most popular peptides Vita Bella prescribes, the science behind PDE5 inhibitors for both performance and longevity, and the regulatory battle between big pharma and compounding pharmacies over GLP medications. Phil also opens up about a brutal stretch of his life that included losing his father, a double spinal fusion injury, and nine people from his childhood neighborhood dying by suicide within about a year, and how that period reshaped his understanding of money, purpose, and fatherhood.

I just watched The Backrooms and now I can't stop thinking about hospital liminal spaces. The basement. The pathology lab. The OR at 2 AM when you're going in for an open globe. We start there. Then a great Spotify question pulls me into ophthalmology boards, what the written test is like, the oral exam I took inside an examiner's actual hotel room (with their luggage in the corner) during a hotel workers' strike in San Francisco, the $2,000 fee, and why the whole recertification industry feels like a money grab. Also a quick rant about why physicians start their careers $400K in the hole and a decade behind everyone else. The main event is a tale of two health systems. You already know PeaceHealth in Eugene, where the emergency physicians fought back, used Oregon's corporate practice of medicine law, and took it to court. Now meet Valley Health in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where CEO Mark Nance just cancelled the contract for EMBER (Emergency Medicine of Blue Ridge) and handed it to SCP Healthm a private equity outfit backed by Canada's Onex Corporation. Same Apollo MD playbook. Same damage. But Virginia has no corporate practice of medicine law, no physician union, and no nurses' union, and Valley Health is flush with cash while blaming Medicaid cuts. I'm fed up, and I'm going to keep making this content as long as people keep sending it to me. Takeaways: Valley Health in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley cancelled its 20-plus-year contract with EMBER (Emergency Medicine of Blue Ridge) and handed it to SCP Health, a private equity-backed corporation owned by Canada's Onex Corporation, mirroring the Apollo MD/PeaceHealth situation in Eugene Despite blaming Medicaid cuts from the "Big Beautiful Bill," Valley Health holds over $1 billion in assets, $700 million in cash reserves, and reported $100 million in net profit in 2024 and continues to build new facilities Valley Health has also forced out Front Royal Family Practice under CEO Mark Nance, revealing a broader pattern of consolidating independent groups and eliminating physician autonomy Virginia has no corporate practice of medicine law, no physician union, and no nurses' union, leaving healthcare workers without the legal and organizational protections that allowed the Eugene physicians to fight back successfully Ophthalmology board recertification, board exam fees, and roughly $400K in training debt mean most physicians don't start meaningful earnings until age 31 or later, a financial reality often missing from broader debates about physician pay To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What does it actually take to diagnose REDs, and what happens after? If you've ever wondered what's going on behind the scenes when a sports medicine physician suspects REDs, this episode is your inside look. Host Heather Caplan, RDN, sits down with Dr. Rosa Pasculli, a non-operative sports medicine physician based in Atlanta, to walk through the full medical picture: how REDs gets diagnosed, what labs actually matter and why, and what treatment looks like in practice. It's a masterclass in multidisciplinary care, and a reminder of just how important it is to have a physician on your team who knows how to ask the right questions. Dr. Pasculli is a former competitive dancer turned sports medicine physician with a particular clinical interest in bone stress injuries and REDs. She is the head team physician for Emory University, overseeing 450+ varsity athletes, and serves as a consulting physician for the Atlanta Ballet, the Georgia Ballet, and the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders. She also sees runners, weekend warriors, and masters athletes, including, as she mentions in this episode, an 80-year-old woman doing an Ironman. 07:59- How Rosa got into sports medicine and the female athlete space 12:44- What she's seeing in the clinic: awareness of REDs and where education still falls short 14:47- REDs as a diagnosis of exclusion: what that means and why it takes a team 15:51- Lab work 101: CBC, CMP, ferritin, thyroid, and what Rosa is actually looking for 21:48- DEXA scans: who needs one and when, including the Female Athlete Triad Coalition's updated guidelines 24:22- Medical management of REDs: risk stratification, the REDs CAT2 tool, and keeping athletes in sport where possible 25:26- When it becomes dangerous: bradycardia, orthostatic changes, and the malnourished heart 28:34- Setting expectations with patients and parents around timeline and testing frequency 30:31- The Emory Women's Sports Medicine program and the cross-institutional community behind it Resources mentioned: IOC RED-S CAT2 Tool (2023)- free Excel-based risk stratification tool for clinicians Female Athlete Triad Coalition- updated DEXA scan guidelines for adolescent and adult athletes Emory Women's Sport and Wellness Conference- Saturday, August 15th, in-person and virtual; registration opening soon Connect with Dr. Pasculli through the Lane 9 Directory at lane9project.org/directory Connect + get support: Are you an athlete?

On this episode, we explore the lingering effects of medical crises, both physical and emotional, and what true healing really means. We hear about one doctor's journey to reconnecting with her body — and her pain — after nearly dying, what researchers are learning about medical trauma, and how a traumatic brain injury transformed the lives and marriage of a couple. As a physician, Rana Awdish's goal was to get her patients healthy as quickly as possible. But when she  experienced her own medical emergency — one that ended her pregnancy and nearly killed her — her perspective on the role of clinicians shifted. Awdish later wrote a memoir about her experience, “In Shock,” that explored the importance of not only healing patients, but connecting with them on an emotional level. But the story didn't end there. Fellow doctor and podcast host Neda Frayha talks with Awdish about her continuing journey, in the wake of the book's success, to realizing that she hadn't fully healed from her medical crisis, and that just as clinicians needed to connect with their patients, she needed to connect with her own body. Awdish's new book is "After Shock: Learning to Reinhabit My Body After Illness." We talk with psychologist Jim Jackson about his decades-long work on medical trauma — the invisible psychological scars that many patients experience after serious illness or injuries. We hear about the causes of medical trauma, helpful and harmful ways of responding to it, and treatment options. His new book is “Reclaiming Your Life from Medical Trauma: Recognize the Symptoms, Find Treatment That Works, and Heal Your Brain and Body.” Medical crises don't just affect patients — they affect their loved ones too. Pulse reporter Liz Tung talks with writer Abby Maslin and her husband T.C. Maslin about dealing with the fallout of an assault that almost killed T.C., and left him with a traumatic brain injury. They explore the effects on their lives and marriage — and dealing with cognitive and personality changes that made Abby feel like she was married to a stranger. Her book on their experience is “Love You Hard: A Memoir of Marriage, Brain Injury, and Reinventing Love.”
