The average man today is walking around with meaningfully less testosterone than his grandfather had at the same age — and the fix the military is reaching for may be aimed at the wrong target.Dr. Mark Gordon returns to Men Talking Mindfulness for his third appearance to unpack the quiet war on male hormones. He's a pioneer of hormone-and-brain medicine, Medical Director of the Warrior Angel Foundation, and featured in the documentary Quiet Explosions. This episode centers on a live policy moment: a Pentagon directive associated with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that would screen service members over 30 for low testosterone and offer TRT, with the goal of a more capable, resilient force. Dr. Gordon shares the good news underneath the headline — the goal is right, and the biology is fixable — while making a clinical case that simply injecting testosterone is the wrong target, because it shuts down the body's own ability to produce it. Jon and Will dig into what actually drives low T, why everyday ibuprofen may be quietly part of the problem, and the root-cause path that restores a man's own hormone engine.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:1.  Why the average man today carries far lower testosterone than his grandfather did — and what's driving the decline2.  The Pentagon's proposed directive (tied to Secretary Hegseth) to screen service members over 30 for low T and offer TRT — and Dr. Gordon's clinical case for a smarter target3.  How everyday NSAIDs like ibuprofen (“vitamin M”) can quietly interrupt the brain's signal to make testosterone — and how to work around it4.  Why blast and TBI exposure can leave blood testosterone looking “normal” while brain hormone production is devastated — and why an injection can't reach that5.  The root-cause approach that restores your own production — pulsed clomiphene, calming inflammation and cortisol — instead of shutting your system downMore about Dr. Mark Gordon:1.  Educational site: https://www.tbihelpnow.org2.  Store (10% first-time discount, funds veteran treatment): https://www.millenniumhealthstore.com3.  Neurosteroid hormone paper — available on his website and Instagram4.  Documentary: Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain — featuring Dr. Gordon and the Warrior Angel Foundation5.  Book: Peptides for Health — available via millenniumhealthstore.com (00:00) - Cold open (01:18) - Welcome to Men Talking Mindfulness (01:27) - The 60-second version: why testosterone is falling (02:11) - Meet Dr. Mark Gordon (03:26) - One-breath grounding practice (04:04) - Hormones 101: what the endocrine system does (06:14) - What disrupts your hormones (10:15) - 'Vitamin M': the military's ibuprofen habit (10:58) - How ibuprofen shuts down the testosterone signal (12:02) - Selenium and Brazil nuts: reversing the damage (16:13) - The Pentagon's TRT directive - and Mark's objection (17:10) - What ten years of veteran data shows (19:43) - What an 'optimal' testosterone level really is (21:39) - Fertility, Clomid and dosing mistakes (24:32) - Case file: Quiet Explosions (27:38) - Hormones and psychedelic-assisted therapy (30:53) - The brain's own pharmacy (36:10) - Breaking the NSAID wall (38:22) - Brain injury, LH and reading the labs (42:34) - Inflammation, pain and peroxynitrite (44:20) - What a listener can do without a military-grade panel (47:31) - Reversing MS: Tim's story (50:50) - First steps for a new patient - and what it costs (53:59) - Closing thoughts and where to find Dr. Gordon Check out our Awareness-to-action Self Mastery COURSE & COMMUNITY:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Do you worry that your hair is thinning? You may wonder what treatments could make a real difference. After all, you wouldn't want to spend money on something that has no chance of helping. Many people also have concerns about their nails. Perhaps they are ridged, or loose, or too thick. Could that be due to nail fungus, or might it have another cause? Most importantly, what could you do about it? In this episode, you'll get a dermatologist's guide to what actually works. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up‑to‑date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems.

What Actually Works for Hair and Nail Problems Dr. Chris Adigun practices both general and cosmetic dermatology. We wanted to ask her about nail problems in particular because they are very common and she maintains a specialty in treating them. We asked her about the most common nail problems she sees, and she named simple onycholysis (pronounced Oh-nick-oh-LYE-sis). In this condition, the nail begins to lift away from the nail bed. You can identify it because the white area at the fingertip becomes much more extensive than usual. Usually, this is due to exposure to acids such as citrus juices or cleaning solutions. Having your hands in and out of irritants or even water (with or without soap) could lead to onycholysis. An overactive thyroid gland could also lead to onycholysis. To prevent it, try to avoid putting your hands into that sort of liquid. If you must do so, use gloves. And of course, a good hand cream to bolster the skin barrier is a very good idea. If these approaches don't do the trick, especially if there are other symptoms, the doctor may want to test for thyroid function. Another common problem is allergic contact dermatitis. This could be caused by some of the same irritating substances responsible for onycholysis, but cosmetics are common culprits here. Nail polish and remover, especially nail polish remover, can cause nail problems for some people. If you are one of them, what actually works best might mean finding a less irritating product or, even better, leaving the nails unadorned. White Spots on Nails Many people have noticed white spots on their nails. We asked Dr. Adigun what causes these, and she replied that usually they are not worrisome. If you bang your fingertip, as you might if you slammed it in a door or a drawer, the trauma may show up several weeks later as a white spot. (More serious trauma could show up as a dark spot due to blood pooling under the nail; we discussed that with podiatrist Jane Anderson here,  but not with Dr. Adigun.) What About Ridges on the Nails? Nail ridges are very common, and the ones that run lengthwise along the same axis as the finger are due to aging. Just as our skin develops wrinkles, so do our nails. Consequently, there are no effective treatments. Nail ridges in children are a different story. They might show up as nails having the texture of sandpaper, or they could be horizontal ridges. Such nails should be seen by a physician, as they could signal an inflammatory condition called lichen planus or even an early sign of psoriasis. While we don't have cures for these conditions, there are effective medications to manage them. Hangnails and Cuticle Problems Are you surprised that dermatologists have a fancy term to describe cuticle problems and other trouble affecting the skin around the nail? They call it paronychia (PEAR-oh-nick-ee-ya). If it is caused by an infection, it might be treated with an antimicrobial compound. The best preventative is not to pull, bite or clip off hangnails or rough spots in the cuticles, the skin near the nails. Instead, moisturize and possibly cover the spot with a bandage to remove the temptation while it softens and heals. Instant glue is another simple remedy that really works for hangnails. Treating Nail Fungus When the nails are thick, ugly and hard to trim, often people blame nail fungus. But surprisingly, it isn't always the culprit. Mechanical trauma can also create thick nails that are hard to cut. If the nail is thick because it is on a hammer toe so it bumps against the insole of the shoe, antifungal treatment won't help. If a healthcare professional addresses it when it first appears, it may be treatable, but once the body has grown accustomed to producing that thick nail, there may be no effective treatment. Some nail infections are bacterial as well as fungal. Both may show up together, or the infection may be one or the other. A dermatologist has techniques for diagnosing whether the problem is due to a fungus or to bacteria such as Corynebacterium. Different types of antimicrobial medicines are effective for these infections. Athlete's foot also needs a real diagnosis, since it too might be bacterial rather than fungal in nature. OTC athlete's foot medicines target fungal infections. Handling Hair Loss Both men and women experience hair thinning, and no one is pleased about it. The patterns differ, with men noticing a receding hairline and less hair on their temples. Women's hair loss tends to form a Christmas-tree pattern, with the tip of the tree right behind the hairline and the base spreading out over the crown of the head. Women are also prone to hair loss after giving birth to a baby. However, while that may be alarming in the moment, it often corrects itself without treatment over the following months. Hormonal Treatments for Hair Loss With men, scientists have identified testosterone metabolites as contributing factors. Drugs such as finasteride (Propecia) or dutasteride block those metabolites and help men regrow hair. Dr. Adigun has begun using these compounds in women who are beyond childbearing. (They are off limits for a person who might become pregnant because they could interfere with the normal development of genitals in a fetus.) A different hormonal treatment for hair loss is spironolactone. Dermatologists have long used it to treat female pattern hair loss. A review found that spironolactone is an effective and safe treatment option for hair loss” (Cureus, Aug. 16, 2023). Besides boosting scalp hair growth, however, it can also cause itchy scalp, facial hair growth and menstrual problems. Another approach that actually works for hair loss is minoxidil (Rogaine). Most people are familiar with this as a topical product to be applied twice daily. That might get old after a while. Also, some people react to the product with contact dermatitis, irritation or itching. Low-dose oral minoxidil seems to work as well as topical minoxidil without the irritation. Another possible option which is better than placebo but not as potent as full strength topical minoxidil is rosemary oil. It is less likely to cause itching, however. This Week’s Guest Chris G. Adigun, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist and the President and Medical Director of the Dermatology & Laser Center of Chapel Hill, which she founded in 2016. Dr. Adigun practices both general and cosmetic dermatology, with a strong emphasis on minimally invasive treatments that deliver natural, impactful results. She has devoted much of her career to increasing public awareness of skin cancer and the harmful effects of UV exposure—both medical and cosmetic—and maintains an academic specialty in nail disorders.

Does hormone replacement therapy cause breast cancer? Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Cara Fuhrman unpack what the Women's Health Initiative actually found, and who really needs HRT after menopause. For twenty years, women with hot flashes, sleep problems and low libido were told hormones were too dangerous to touch. Today the message has flipped so hard that women without a single symptom are being told they should be on HRT. Both versions skip the question that matters: do you need it, or do you not? Dr. Cara Fuhrman, Co-Founder and Medical Director of LongevityRx, sits down with her father, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, to walk through the science without the fear or the hype. This is for any woman navigating perimenopause or menopause, anyone already on hormones who isn't sure why, and anyone handed a lab report and a prescription without an explanation. In this episode: Does HRT really increase breast cancer risk? Does every woman need hormones after menopause? Oral vs. transdermal estrogen: does the form matter? Why Drs. Fuhrman caution against chasing hormone levels When testosterone may — and may not — be appropriate The role of diet, exercise and metabolic health during menopause The conversation continues in the next episode. If this helped you, follow the Eat to Live Podcast, leave a review, and share it with a woman who's trying to make this decision.

 Recognizing the Unseen: When Vitals Don't Tell the Full Story> Explore the nuances of assessing patient conditions in critical care.In the latest episode of the Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast, Dr. Suzanne McMurtry Baird and Dr. Stephanie Martin delve into a crucial topic that every healthcare professional encounters: the discrepancy between a patient's vital signs and their clinical presentation.  The Importance of ContextHealthcare providers often find themselves in situations where the numbers on the chart suggest one thing, while the patient in front of them tells a different story. Suzanne begins with a critical reminder: **"We treat the numbers and we don't really treat the patient."** This highlights the necessity of integrating clinical judgment with the data at hand. Case Analysis: Is It Normal or Not?The episode kicks off with a case study that exemplifies this disconnect. A postpartum patient exhibits a heart rate of 132 despite appearing relatively well. As Stephanie points out, **"Just because the patient looks fine doesn't mean the numbers are too."** This leads to a discussion on how easy it is to rationalize away abnormal signs, especially when the patient appears comfortable. Key Takeaways:- **Essential Signs:** A heart rate that's rising in a postpartum patient is a red flag, regardless of how they appear. It's crucial to question any assumptions that lead to complacency. - **Quantified Blood Loss:** The importance of measuring blood loss accurately was emphasized, with the doctors urging that all deliveries should have quantified blood loss recorded, not just select cases. - **Compensation is Key:** Stephanie warns against the trap of assuming that normal blood pressure means everything is okay. **"It means she's compensating,"** she says, highlighting the need for proactive monitoring and intervention. Continuing EducationTo further explore these scenarios and improve clinical skills, Suzanne and Stephanie invite listeners to join their Patreon community, where they extend these discussions and provide additional insights into critical care practices.In closing, always remember: the numbers might not tell the full story, but with careful attention to both the data and the patient, we can provide the best care possible. Tune in to the full episode to immerse yourself in these valuable discussions and enhance your clinical acumen.The experts at Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics pool their decades of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women to discuss the challenges encountered in caring for these vulnerable women.Dr Stephanie Martin is the Medical Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist with expertise in critical care obstetrics.Suzanne McMurtry Baird, DNP, RN is the Nursing Director for  Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics with many years of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women.Julie Arafeh, RN, MS is the Simulation Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a leading expert in simulation.Critical Care Obstetrics Academy: https://www.clinicalconceptsinob.com/Follow us:Patreon: patreon.com/CCOBYouTube: @CriticalCareOBPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/criticalcareob/Dr Martin's LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/stephanie-martin-65b07112aCCOB LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clinical-concepts-in-obstetrics/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/OBCriticalCareCCOB Facebook: ...

Can breathing pure oxygen under pressure help us heal — or even age better? Michelle Martin speaks with Dr Gerard Ee, Founder and Medical Director of The Clifford Clinic, to unpack the science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). They explore what actually happens inside a hyperbaric chamber, the medical conditions HBOT is used to treat, and what the evidence says about claims around longevity, recovery and maintaining physical ability. Dr Ee also explains the crucial differences between medical hyperbaric chambers and the soft-shell “oxygen pods” appearing in wellness studios, the risks consumers should know about, and the questions to ask before paying for a session. Plus: the health and fitness measurements that may tell us more about how well we’re ageing — and one practical thing we can do now to live well for longer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The haze is back, with air quality in parts of Singapore reaching unhealthy levels for the first time since 2023.

In this episode, Omar M. Ghanem, MD, Professor of Surgery at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Chair of the Division of Metabolic & Abdominal Wall Reconstructive Surgery, Medical Director of Mayo Clinic International – Middle East, and Program Director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship, joins the podcast to discuss advances in obesity treatment and the role of metabolic surgery. He shares insights on minimally invasive techniques, how success should be measured for patients with obesity, and why surgery should be viewed as an important treatment option rather than a last resort.

This episode may include content about the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, its advocacy efforts, and the Political Action Committee of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (OrthoPAC).  In this episode of the AAOS Now Podcast, host Doug Lundy, MD, MBA, FAAOS, sits down with Joel Mayerson, MD, FAAOS, Chair of the AAOS Advocacy Council to discuss the calendar year 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) proposed rule, which AAOS considers one of the most significant threats to orthopaedic practice in decades.  Dr. Mayerson explains why this moment is different from past fee schedule fights. He walks through the specific provisions driving AAOS' concern, starting with the proposed 20 percent reduction in valuation for major arthroplasty codes, including total knee, total hip, and total shoulder arthroplasty, as well as shoulder hemiarthroplasty. He also details a proposed change to the Modifier 25 payment policy that would reduce reimbursement when an evaluation and management service and a procedure happen on the same day. This is followed by a discussion of proposed changes to practice expense RVU calculations. Throughout the episode, Dr. Mayerson emphasizes that these policies will have devastating real-world consequences not only on orthopaedic surgeons, but on the patients they are committed to serving. He explains how independent and rural practices that aren't able to absorb the additional costs will either close or be consolidated into large systems, leaving fewer options for patients; how Medicare beneficiaries could face longer waits and reduced access to care; and how without timely access to care, simple problems will progress to chronic or debilitating problems, leading to more ER visits and hospitalizations.   Rather than negotiating quietly behind the scenes, Dr. Mayerson explains that AAOS is taking a firm public stance: The Academy is calling for a full pause on the proposed cuts and a return to 2026 payment values while a more collaborative, data-driven solution is developed.  The episode closes with a call to action. Dr. Mayerson urges every AAOS member to get involved, whether through the AAOS Advocacy Action Center, participation in OrthoPAC, or engagement with their state and specialty societies. As Dr. Mayerson emphasizes, advocacy is an extension of patient care. Every letter, comment, and conversation with a legislator helps protect the house of orthopaedics and ensure access to musculoskeletal care for patients across the country.

What if treating Lyme disease successfully requires looking beyond the infection itself? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Myriah Hinchey, Naturopathic Physician, known as the "Lyme Queen," to explore her 10B approach to chronic Lyme disease and the importance of understanding why some patients remain sick despite treatment. Together, we discuss why effective care goes beyond simply "killing the bug" and instead considers the relationship between the infection, the immune system, and the body's terrain. Dr. Hinchey walks through the strategic sequence of her 10B approach, from understanding the patient's background and stabilizing the body to supporting immune balance, detoxification, and biofilm management. The conversation also explores the importance of personalized treatment, why rushing into antimicrobial strategies can sometimes create complications such as Herxheimer reactions, and how rebuilding immune competence can be a critical part of helping patients move toward recovery. Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, someone navigating chronic Lyme disease, or interested in a more comprehensive approach to complex infections, this conversation offers valuable insights into treating the patient as a whole, not just the pathogen.         Key takeaways: Understanding Lyme Complexity: Lyme disease treatment should prioritize understanding the bacteria's interactions with the human host and the immune system's role. The 10B Approach: Dr. Hinchey's strategic and holistic 10B approach targets various aspects such as inflammation control, immune balancing, gut health, and biofilm breakdown. Immune Competence: The goal is to cultivate a smarter, not necessarily stronger, immune system, focusing on nutrient sufficiency and systemic health. Biofilm and Detoxification: Addressing biofilm breakdown and supporting liver and lymphatic detoxification are crucial components to handle bacterial exposure effectively. Avoiding Herxheimer Reactions: Preparing the body before aggressive treatments can prevent adverse reactions, optimizing patient recovery and wellbeing.   More About Dr. Myriah Hinchey: Dr. Myriah Hinchey is a Connecticut-licensed naturopathic physician, a Fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS) and a Fellow of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). With more than 20 years of experience, she is a leading authority on Lyme disease and other complex chronic infection-driven inflammatory conditions. She serves as the Medical Director of TAO: Center for Vitality, where she has helped thousands of patients—both children and adults—recover from chronic illness. She is also the founder of LymeCore Botanicals, a physician-formulated herbal medicine company focused on safe, potent, and effective solutions for vector-borne diseases. In addition, Dr. Hinchey is the host of the LymeBytes! Podcast and creator of the annual LymeBytes Symposium, platforms that bring together patients, practitioners, and thought leaders to share science, solutions, and hope. She is also a sought-after lecturer, training medical professionals on how to successfully integrate functional, herbal, and lifestyle medicine into their practices for more successful, lasting resolution of chronic infection-driven illnesses. Her mission is simple: to bring awareness and truth to infection-driven chronic illnesses, helping people recognize these stealth infections for what they are and guiding them toward lasting recovery by restoring the body's terrain, calming inflammation, rebuilding immune balance, and naturally eradicating the infection—creating the foundation for true, lasting healing.   Website Instagram TAO Vitality Lyme Core Connect with me!

In this episode of the Podcast, Dr. David Puder sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Katie Unverferth, Director of the UCLA Women's Life Center and Medical Director of the UCLA Maternal Mental Health Program, to clarify the critical differences between common postpartum intrusive thoughts of infant harm, postpartum OCD, and true postpartum psychosis. They discuss how nearly all new mothers experience ego-dystonic thoughts of accidental or intentional harm, how to screen without triggering concealment, when severity and compulsions cross into OCD, the role of high-dose SSRIs plus exposure and response prevention (ERP), red-flag signs of ego-syntonic content, agitation, insomnia, and delirium-like states that signal psychosis, and the strong evidence for lithium prophylaxis and acute treatment in high-risk patients.    Link to blog Link to YouTube video

— Today, we're exploring one of life's most profound and universal questions: What does true healing really mean? When facing illness, especially something as life-altering as cancer, it's easy to focus solely on the physical body. But what if healing is also about nurturing the mind, strengthening the spirit, cultivating hope, and discovering meaning even in life's greatest challenges? In this meaningful conversation, we'll explore the powerful intersection of science, compassion, faith, and integrative medicine. We'll discuss how lifestyle, emotional well-being, relationships, and our inner life can influence the healing journey, and why treating the whole person—not just the disease—may offer a more complete path toward health and resilience. Whether you or someone you love has been touched by cancer, or you're simply interested in what it means to live with greater vitality, purpose, and hope,  this episode offers wisdom that extends far beyond medicine.  Valeria interviews Dr. Francisco Contreras  — He is a globally recognized surgical oncologist and a pioneer in integrative cancer care. As President and Medical Director of Oasis of Hope Cancer Center in Tijuana, Mexico, he has spent more than four decades combining cutting-edge medical treatments with metabolic therapies, nutrition, and compassionate, faith-based care to support the healing of the whole person. Building on the legacy of his father, founder of Oasis of Hope, Dr. Contreras has helped thousands of patients from around the world while advancing a holistic approach that unites science, lifestyle, and the healing power of the human spirit. He is also an internationally respected author, educator, and speaker, having co-authored several influential books on cancer treatment, hope, and integrative medicine.

Patients are coming into fertility appointments more informed than ever.They've talked to ChatGPT, researched their treatment options, and sometimes even come in with an idea of what they think their doctor should recommend.So what does that mean for the REI?That's the question Dr. Maria Costantini explores. She's a Partner REI and Medical Director at RMA, and she believes self-awareness may be one of the most important tools physicians have as the patient-physician relationship changes.We dive into:Why patient self-education is reshaping fertility careHow technology is changing physician decision makingDr. Costantini's belief that self-awareness may prevent provider burnoutThe balance between authoritative and collaborative consultationsRMA's new AI and how it supports the patient journeyAI may be changing what patients bring into the exam room, but Dr. Costantini argues that how physicians respond may come down to something much more human.

Tune in Friday, August 28, 2026 @ 7pm EST/4pm PST/6pm CST for the next “He Said, He Said, He Said Live!” A Look at the World from A Seasoned Black Man's Perspective…because one perspective isn't enough!” for Manage Your Health Series: “From Survival to Strength: The Next Chapter in Living with HIV” Featuring Special Guest Dr. Theo Hodge MedicalDirector, Washington Health Institute www.dc-whi.org This Friday, August 28, He Said, He Said, He Said LIVEpresents a powerful and deeply meaningful pre-finale episode of our Manage Your Health Series:

“The Governor claimed there were two deaths in Lancaster County – the first deaths from Measles in the U.S. in 35 years,” writes Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons. “The story unravels: I then conducted an investigation and learned from the Lancaster County Coroner that there were zero reported measles deaths in Lancaster County… [even though] law requires deaths from contagious disease such as measles to be reported to the Coroner.” In headlines reminiscent of the pandemic panic, NBC reported an “Infant in Pennsylvania is one of two people reported to die of measles this week.” Local officials are likening this to the politically-motivated death count inflation during the pandemic, which frequently included people who “died WITH Covid” even if other health issues were actually their cause of death. “Lancaster County Coroner Steve Diamantoni said the cause of death was not from the measles,” Commissioner Parsons reports. “The newborn died shortly after birth from a laceration of the spleen, although measles antibodies were present in postmortem testing… We still know nothing about the second reported death. There has not even been an effort, to my knowledge, to explain this death or provide any details whatsoever – beyond “unvaccinated.”” Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, psychiatrist and former FDA medical officer, speaks on the measles headlines, Hayden Panettiere's sudden death, and marijuana psychosis. Eric Bolling, host of TheEDGE, joins to discuss his Main Street America Tour, the Iran war, and gas prices. Steve Lance, executive producer of UNBROKEN: The Untold Story of Shen Yun, discusses the threats and alleged Chinese Communist Party interference documented by his film.

Why are thyroid disorders, hormone imbalances, and certain chronic illnesses becoming more common? In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. David Brownstein about iodine deficiency, thyroid health, environmental toxins, natural hormone therapy, and the limitations of symptom-focused medicine. Dr. Brownstein shares how his father's dramatic improvement with thyroid and testosterone treatment changed the course of his medical career, eventually leading him to investigate iodine's role throughout the body. They discuss how bromide and fluoride may interfere with iodine, why iodized salt may not provide enough for every tissue, how iodine status can be assessed, and why individualized, root-cause care remains central to long-term health. Dr. David Brownstein, MD, is a board-certified family physician, Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and a leading voice in integrative medicine. After recognizing that conventional medications often failed to address the underlying causes of chronic illness, he shifted his practice toward nutrition, hormone balance, thyroid care, environmental medicine, and individualized treatment. Dr. Brownstein is the author of numerous books, including Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It, and is widely known for his clinical work involving iodine, natural thyroid therapy, salt, hormonal health, and environmental toxins.Website: https://www.drbrownstein.comPODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

The first episode of Skinny Inc. was all about the science behind GLP-1s, and the second episode was about the business, from the pharmaceutical companies who make GLP-1s to the insurance plans that may or may not cover it. Today, we're exploring how the so-called “Ozempic era,” affects people's mental health. First, business owner Maiyhet Burton tells us how using a GLP-1 has helped her body image.

Mark is later joined by Dan O'Donnell, radio host at WISN in Milwaukee, to discuss the recent chaos and violence involving groups of teenagers at the Wisconsin State Fair. The two also dive into political unrest in Milwaukee, including controversial political candidates, primary election scandal, and blackmail rumors, before wrapping up with quick thoughts on the Milwaukee Brewers' playoff prospects.

This episode was originally uploaded on July 16, 2026. Cyclosporiasis and other public health concerns Two phrases you don't want to hear together with your food are "parasite" and "explosive diarrhea," but that's currently the reality in 34 states, as cases of cyclosporiasis, an illness causing days to weeks of severe diarrhea, have been on the rise since May, with Ohio in the middle of a four-state outbreak cluster. There are other "bugs" public health officials are concerned about in the state - including the rise of Lyme disease spread by ticks. And be careful of getting bit by a mosquito as several counties in Northeast Ohio have seen mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus, though there hasn't been a human case yet. We're going to talk about a range of nasty illnesses to start Thursday's "Sound of Ideas." Guests:- Erika Sobolewski, D.O., Medical Director, Summit County Public Health- Sara Cochrane, Environmental Health Supervisor, Summit County Public Health Medina Bee Park opens There is something abuzz in Medina County. The Medina Bee Park is now open for human and winged visitors alike. What was once an unused loading dock has been transformed into a vibrant community space for residents - featuring local art, native pollinator plants, and a stage for live entertainment. The $25,000 project is led by Main Street Medina and partially funded by the Medina County Beekeepers Association. We'll learn more about the park and Medina's long history of beekeeping. Guests:- George Sam, Executive Director, Main Street Medina- Manfred Heck, Associate Director, Main Street Medina- Peggy Garnes, President, Medina County Beekeepers Association

Welcome back to Dr. M's Women and Children First. One of the recurring themes on this podcast is that the future of medicine won't be discovered through faster-paced healthcare alone. It will be discovered by slowing down, listening more carefully, and embracing a patient-centered approach that seeks to understand the whole person—not just the disease. Ultimately, the future of medicine begins with a better question: How do we truly hear a patient's story so that we can better serve the person sitting in front of us? Today's guest has spent his entire career helping answer that question. Our conversation today centers on one of the most overlooked aspects of healing: why so many people struggle to begin the healing process in the first place—and more importantly, how we, as clinicians, parents, and patients, can help that process finally move forward. Dr. Russell Greenfield is a board-certified emergency medicine physician and a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine whose career has been dedicated to transforming healthcare from a disease-centered model into one focused on whole-person health. He has served as Medical Director of Integrative Medicine for major health systems, including Novant Health and the Weisiger Cancer Institute, held national leadership positions within the Veterans Health Administration's Whole Health Initiative, and continues to advise organizations across the country that are reimagining what healthcare can become. What makes Dr. Greenfield's journey especially unique is that he was one of the select physicians chosen to complete a residential fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona—the birthplace of academic integrative medicine. At a time when very few physicians were willing to challenge the traditional boundaries of healthcare, Dr. Greenfield immersed himself in a model that recognized nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, relationships, purpose, and environment as fundamental pillars of health, while embracing the remarkable advances of modern medical science. For me, this conversation is especially meaningful because many of us in medicine are asking the same question: How do we move upstream? How do we stop waiting for chronic disease to develop and instead create the conditions where health can flourish? Today we'll explore the art of becoming an experienced listener in service of the patient before us. We'll discuss why curiosity often matters more than certainty, why healing frequently begins long before the prescription pad comes out, and how understanding a person's story can unlock opportunities that laboratory tests and imaging studies alone may never reveal. Whether you're a clinician, a parent, or simply someone searching for a deeper understanding of health, I think you'll come away from this conversation with a renewed appreciation for one of medicine's most powerful tools: listening. Enjoy, Dr. M
