Blood flow might not sound sexy, but it's the fuel behind satisfying sex. In this live episode from the A4M Longevity Conference in Las Vegas, I sit down with certified nurse practitioner and Medical Director at GAINSWave, Chrislyn Chaloupka, to discuss how GAINSWave's non-invasive regenerative therapy is reshaping sexual wellness by addressing root causes rather than simply masking symptoms. We dive into why your body might not be responding the way it used to, from erections that fade under pressure to that frustrating gap between wanting sex and your body just not cooperating. Chrislyn breaks down how this painless 15-minute treatment works (that I even tried myself), and we get real about everything from porn-induced desensitization to why erectile challenges can actually be your heart trying to tell you something important. Don't forget to watch the full video podcast on YouTube! What you'll learn: • Why "just relax and use more lube" isn't solving your arousal problems—and what actually will • How shockwave therapy can help with everything from weak orgasms to stress urinary incontinence (yes, the sneeze-and-pee situation) • The psychological factors that can make even the best physical treatments fail until you address the deeper story This Episode is sponsored by Gainswave.

Why are people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, POTS, and mast cell disorders so frequently misdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely? In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dr. Dacre Knight, Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, for a wide-ranging conversation about why complex, multisystem conditions continue to fall through the cracks of modern medicine. Together, they explore how siloed healthcare systems, time-limited visits, and overreliance on “normal” labs and imaging contribute to years of delayed diagnosis and unnecessary suffering. The discussion unpacks why patients are often labeled as anxious, functional, or “too complex,” how pattern recognition breaks down when symptoms span multiple systems, and why early diagnosis could prevent much of the downstream complexity clinicians later struggle to manage. Dr. Knight also explains how diagnostic frameworks like the EDS–POTS–MCAS triad can be helpful and where they risk oversimplifying reality. This episode offers a candid look at the gaps in current diagnostic thinking and a more thoughtful, patient-centered approach to evaluating complex chronic illness, one that prioritizes listening, curiosity, and clinical humility. Takeaways: When diagnosis is delayed, complexity isn't inevitable — it's created. “Normal” tests don't mean normal lives. Pain, fatigue, and dysfunction can exist long before labs catch up. Many patients aren't anxious until they're repeatedly dismissed. Mislabeling symptoms often becomes the real diagnosis delay. Multisystem conditions don't reveal themselves through checklists — they emerge through patterns clinicians are trained to overlook. Sometimes the most powerful intervention isn't a test or a treatment — it's listening earlier, longer, and with curiosity. Want to learn more about the UVA EDS Center?

Accurately defining the population of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) and intestinal failure has long been a challenge in gastroenterology. In an effort to bring greater clarity to the field, Alan Buchman MD, MSPH, a professor of Clinical Surgery and Medical Director of the Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago and director of gastroenterology at Elevance Health, led the introduction of new, more specific ICD-10-CM codes for SBS, along with corresponding updates to World Health Organization ICD-11 classifications. His recent real-world US claims analysis presented at the ASPEN 2026 Nutrition Science and Practice Conference examined how widely those codes have been adopted and what that adoption, or lack thereof, reveals about disease burden and clinical practice.Key Interview Time Stamps0:00:00 What prompted this analysis of ICD code adoption in short bowel syndrome?0:01:17 Key findings 0:03:33 Understanding reasons for variability in code adoption0:04:36 The potential benefits of improved coding accuracy

Trained in EMS and disaster and operational medicine, Natalie turned her attention to the critical intersection of clinical medicine, patient safety, and cybersecurity resilience after experiencing a prolonged ransomware attack on a major hospital. Dr. Sullivan lays out the disaster preparedness cycle, and the many vectors of risks for hospitals. How does a cyberattack on one hospital lead to increased cardiac arrest mortality at the hospital three blocks away? Why is a generation of "digital native" doctors a hidden vulnerability in an analog emergency? And what happens when a hospital's reliance on these "tightly coupled" systems—like water, power, and the Medical IoT—collapses during a ransomware event?“We are critical infrastructure, but we're deeply, deeply dependent on the surrounding critical infrastructure,” Dr. Sullivan said.

In this episode of The Talking Gut Podcast, I'm joined by leading gastroenterologist Professor Jane Andrews, a Clinical Professor with more than 25 years of experience in patient care, research, and health system innovation. From building one of Australia's largest IBD services to serving as Chair and Medical Director of Crohn's Colitis Cure, Professor Andrews has played a major role in shaping modern gastroenterology and patient-centred care. Together, we explore how to create real value in healthcare from improving access and coordination through digital tools to designing integrated, multidisciplinary models that better support people living with gut conditions. Professor Andrews shares insights into value-based care, digital registries and telehealth, patient empowerment through data access, and how health systems can deliver smarter, more equitable care. We also discuss the importance of holistic, lifestyle-focused approaches, including the role of behaviour change, mental wellbeing, and the gut–brain connection in managing chronic gastrointestinal conditions. Whether you're a clinician, healthcare leader, researcher, or someone living with a gut condition, this episode offers practical insights into building more empowering, efficient, and human-centred models of care. Please enjoy my conversation with Professor Jane Andrews.
In this episode of the St Emlyn's Podcast, we're joined by Nigel Ruddell, Medical Director of the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, recorded live at the BASICS Conference. This is a conversation about Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) — but not in the way you might expect. It's not really about aircraft. It's about people. Nigel talks us through the long, often uncomfortable journey to building Air Ambulance Northern Ireland. From early fundraising attempts in the 2000s, through the influence and legacy of Dr John Hinds, to the eventual partnership between charity and the statutory ambulance service that made a doctor–paramedic HEMS model possible. We explore: • Why the helicopter isn't the intervention — the team is • The charity–NHS partnership model in Northern Ireland • Geography, rurality, and the realities of serving 1.9 million people • Dispatch challenges and the use of video triage (including the GoodSAM platform) • Cross-border working with the National Ambulance Service of Ireland • The cultural work required to convince colleagues that HEMS is not a “Cinderella service” • Humility, leadership, and the people who quietly build systems We also reflect on John Hinds's legacy and how his passion catalysed change, including the significance of the Delta 7 callsign. This is a thoughtful conversation about system design, pre-hospital care, and what it actually takes to introduce enhanced critical care capability into a region that has never had it before. If you enjoy thinking about pre-hospital medicine, trauma systems, and the future of emergency care, you may also want to look at: the IncrEMentuM Conference and Tactical Trauma And if you want to go deeper into the evidence behind the conversations we have on this podcast, explore MedPod Learn — now hosting nearly 5,000 medical podcast episodes with linked multiple-choice questions to support structured learning.

This episode features a highlighted segment from the ROI Centered Care Virtual Summit, produced by Bright Spots Ventures in partnership with TytoCare and the American Telemedicine Association. In this conversation, Eric Glazer sits down with Fernando Carnavali, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Chief of General Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System, to explore how large academic health systems can translate patient experience, diagnostics, and technology innovation into measurable ROI. Rather than focusing on new tools for their own sake, Dr. Carnavali reframes the challenge: how to use existing data, connected devices, and AI-enabled diagnostics to improve the full patient journey, before, during, and after the visit while also supporting a stretched clinical workforce. Drawing on Mount Sinai's real-world operating environment, the conversation explores how experience, communication, and clinical efficiency are increasingly inseparable from financial performance, especially in inpatient and general internal medicine settings. This discussion moves beyond pilot thinking to address what it takes to operationalize innovation at scale inside a complex health system. What you'll learn in this episode: Why patient experience is a longitudinal journey, not a post-visit survey score How Mount Sinai is using technology and diagnostics to strengthen communication, not replace clinicians The role of AI and connected devices in improving both patient and provider experience Why workforce constraints in primary and general internal medicine demand new care models How health systems can focus on what's already within their control to drive ROI Why proving clinical and economic value upfront is essential to scaling innovation About Dr. Fernando Carnavali: Dr. Carnavali is the Chief of the Division of General Internal Medicine for Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West (MSM/MSW) and serves as the Medical Director of the Long COVID Satellite Clinic at Mount Sinai Doctors Ansonia (MSD-Ansonia). In this role, Dr. Carnavali oversees a large, complex division with eight outpatient service locations spanning Manhattan's West Side from Harlem to Chelsea. Clinically, he focuses on the treatment and management of chronic illness, with a particular emphasis on Long COVID care. In early 2020, Dr. Carnavali led MSM/MSW's outpatient response to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizing early testing and triage for community patients and serving for eight weeks on the inpatient COVID units—an experience that provided firsthand insight into the impact of SARS-CoV-2 in New York City. In May 2021, he coordinated the launch of the Long COVID Clinic at MSD Ansonia and continues to personally evaluate new and ongoing patients each week. Committed to sharing Mount Sinai's expertise in Long COVID care, Dr. Carnavali has participated in numerous national and international forums, training providers in this emerging field. He has also built a strong media presence, spotlighting both the Ansonia clinic and the Mount Sinai Long COVID program to raise public awareness. Since 2024, he has served as Co-Principal Investigator on a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Health and Human Services titled "Evaluation of Long COVID Care Practices." In addition to Long COVID work, Dr. Carnavali leads outpatient practice transformation initiatives across MSM/MSW and the Mount Sinai Health System, guiding quality improvement teams to enhance patient satisfaction, improve access to care, and explore innovative service models.

Erin received her Naturopathic Doctor degree from Bastyr University in 2001, and remains true to the primary principles of naturopathic medicine – the healing power of nature, treating the whole person, and doctor as teacher. Dr. Erin Stokes realized her passion and skill for education early in her career. Shortly after launching her naturopathic practice in Boulder, Colorado, she became an instructor at Southwest Acupuncture College. She also worked as a Lead Practitioner at Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy providing one-on-one integrative health consultations. Through her different roles as Director of Education and Medical Director over the last 13 years, Dr. Erin has emerged as a media spokesperson, with a unique ability to translate technical knowledge, combined with an engaging personal style. As Medical Director at WishGarden, Dr. Erin Stokes is energized about finding new and effective ways to help share the power of herbalism to improve people's lives and is a frequent podcast and TV guest.

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.
