Welcome to Episode 22 of "Optimal - the Podcast," where we delve into the facets of health that truly make a difference. In this insightful episode, we're honored to host Lindsay Goddard to discuss the Organic Acids Test from Mosaic Diagnostic, formerly Great Plains Laboratory. Lindsay Goddard is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian (RD, LD/N), with a Master's in Nutrition, and a Bachelor's in Biology with a concentration in Human Physiology and Ecology. She has additional training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition and is currently finishing a Graduate Certificate in Toxicology from the University of South Florida. Lindsay began her career as a dietitian by working in one of the largest hospitals in Florida specializing in recovery nutrition, and critical care. She went on to serve in University-based outpatient clinics with concentrations in gastroenterology, genetics, and oncology. She followed with working in the NICU and Pediatrics in a level II facility until she began educating and advising on functional medicine testing. She has spoken on various platforms nationally, and internationally, on metabolomics, immunology, and toxicology, educating providers on its relevance and utility. She now serves as a Medical Science Liaison on Fullscript's Integrative Medical Advisory team along with running a successful private practice where she specializes in pediatrics, and GI disorders as well as working in a physiatry clinic focusing on nutrition management for brain and spinal cord injuries. During our conversation, Lindsay sheds light on the Organic Acid Test (OAT) and its critical role in achieving optimal health. OAT is a sophisticated laboratory analysis that scrutinizes cellular metabolic waste to identify nutrient deficiencies, signs of inflammation, toxic exposures, and microbial imbalances. Lindsay elaborates on how organic acids, the metabolic byproducts from humans, bacteria, and fungi, are integral to understanding our body's metabolic processes. The OAT offers a window into the body's use of nutrients and exposes metabolic functions that might be contributing to health issues, aiming to pinpoint deficiencies, inflammatory processes, toxicity, and dysbiosis. Further exploring the practical applications of OAT, Lindsay discusses the frequency of testing in relation to specific deficiencies and how it complements other tests, such as CBC, CMP, and stool analyses. She also delves into the assessment of oxidative stress and detoxification markers, and the examination of intestinal microbial overgrowth, breaking it down to its yeast, fungal, and bacterial constituents. A fascinating part of our discussion highlights the relationship between clostridia bacterial markers and dopamine regulation, suggesting possible psychiatric implications. Lindsay doesn't shy away from complex topics such as cellular turnover, DNA synthesis, folate metabolism, ketone levels as an indication of blood sugar regulation, and the nuances of fatty acid oxidation—vital considerations for those on low-carb diets and how these reflect on carnitine and riboflavin requirements, as well as pattern recognition. Beyond individual biomarkers, Lindsay emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition in the understanding of human physiology and metabolism. She also clarifies how creatinine levels are used to normalize metabolic markers in urine samples. Addressing deficiencies, she underlines the role of a balanced diet and effective stress management in maintaining one's health. Join us to uncover the vital insights and practical applications of the Organic Acid Test and empower yourself with the knowledge to understand and address bodily deficiencies for improved health. Episode Highlights: (00:52) Introduction of Lindsay Goddard (6:02) Definition of Organic Acid Test (8:07) Explains how Organic Acid Test work and the suggested time gap of re-testing (11:31) Other laboratory procedures that needed to justify the results of OAT and what categories can be seen in the result (24:16) How to determine what kind of follow-up test a patient would need (37:14) How to explain OAT results, importance of clinical history and retesting, and OAT practice (47:22) Explains how to utilize OAT by medical practitioners and Awareness on the importance of the test (51:52) Importance of spreading awareness about the OAT and educating practitioners Where to Reach Dr. Dicken Weatherby Dicken Weatherby LinkedIn Optimal DX Resource Center Optimal DX Blog Where to Reach Lindsay Goddard Lindsay Goddard LinkedIn Lindsay's Website Where to Reach Beth Ellen DiLuglio Nutrition Mission Beth Ellen DiLuglio LinkedIn  Did you find today's episode helpful?

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) in the pharmaceutical industry is a popular position for physicians who wish to leave clinical practice. This is true because it is possible to qualify for the job regardless of the extent of training (i.e., whether residency-trained or board certified, or not) or specialty; it does not require special certifications or degrees (beyond a medical degree); and it provides a moderate amount of flexibility to work part of the time from home. However, it often involves traveling to meet with clients up to 60% of the time. John created a six-lesson course called How to Secure a Career as a Medical Science Liaison for the Nonclinical Career Academy. And he has taken excerpts from that course for PNC Podcast Episodes 276 and 277. By presenting the pros and cons, and an overview of the steps you can take to prepare for a job as an MSL, you will gain a much deeper understanding of the position and whether to pursue it. He also goes into detail about common tactics used to find a nonclinical career, including converting your CV to a resumé, engaging mentors; networking effectively, creating a LinkedIn profile, and identifying professional organizations that can hasten your progress. The course can be found at: https://nonclinicalphysicians.com/mslcourse. You will find links mentioned in the episode at https://nonclinicalphysicians.com/captivating-career-as-an-msl.

In this week's episode, we are joined by Lauren Isley, a genetic counselor at California Cryobank. Have you ever wondered how a sperm bank selects and evaluates its donors? Lauren walks us through what genetics counseling is and how it supports clients in their fertility needs. She shares with us the process of selecting sperm donors, supporting clients in selecting the right donor or in making major decisions based on genetics.She lifts the veil of what goes on behind the scenes and helps reveal the mystery that goes on to create a successful program. Lauren also gives excellent advice for those getting started choosing a donor. Tune in today to get a great understanding of how cryobanks work!   IN THIS EPISODE:    [3:35] Welcome, Lauren Isley! Learning about Lauren's work.  [7:39] Under what circumstances might someone need genetic counseling? [10:15] What occurs behind the scenes to ensure sperm meets guidelines? [13:50] What conditions make someone eligible to be an egg or sperm donor?  [16:14] How does California Cryobank look at the risk a potential donor might have vs. the number of donors needed? [22:55] What percentage of egg or sperm donors are eligible, and what might make donors unqualified?  [25:38] How does California Cryobank keep up with new genetic information? If there is a new genetic mutation, do they go back and remove those donors? [28:28] What happens when new medical information is received after a child is born or the donor uncovers information? [36:37] How has technology like 23&Me shifted the number of donors?  [43:48] What filters and mechanisms does California Cryobank use regarding the number of families who can use a particular donor?   KEY TAKEAWAYS:    When starting your search, start with 2 or 3 items that are your primary criteria. Do you want ethnicity? Height, Education? Whatever it is, start small and narrow down.  The cryobank goes through a lot behind the scenes to screen donors. They have a lot of guidelines for donors, including genetics. Some genetic testing will be discussed to see if a recipient will want to move forward with the donor, while others will need testing from the recipient to see if they also care about the genetic mutation.  Donors are providing people with the gift of life! The process is long for them, so they deserve much love and appreciation for making the gift a reality.    RESOURCE LINKS   California Cryobank   California Cryobank Instagram   Stork'd Facebook Page   Stork'd on Instagram   Stork'd YouTube Channel   About Lauren:   Lauren is a genetic counselor by training and after graduating with a Master's of Science in Genetic Counseling degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, she began her career in the field of assisted reproductive technology, where she has practiced for the past decade.

Today I want to revisit one of the most popular nonclinical jobs for physicians: Medical Science Liaison. It has been quite a while since I presented a podcast on this topic. So, I want to update you on this popular career option. An MSL serves as an educational and feedback link between a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device company AND healthcare professionals. This role is strictly educational and collaborative in nature. Marketing and selling by MSLs is not permitted. MSLs leverage their scientific background to learn about their products and communicate with influencers and key opinion leaders (KOLs). They use organizational skills to connect with these stakeholders. They use communication skills to teach, advise, and inform.  Typically, an MSL meets with these KOLs, updates them on scientific studies, reports on their conversations to the employer, and attends both remote and in-person meetings.  Depending n the size of the territory covered, travel requirements may be extensive. This career is attractive because it does not require any special certification. It is open to physicians at all levels of training, with or without board certification. There are ample jobs and the number of positions is growing. Once employed as an MSL, it is quite possible to make a lateral job change or advance into more senior positions. Landing the first MSL job can be challenging. And travel away from home for multiple days can sometimes be required. REMEMBER THAT THE FIRST JOB IS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO LAND. That's why one of the first courses I created in the Nonclinical Career Academy was the Medical Science Liaison Course. It provides much greater detail on the requirements and preparation for the job. And it will position you to apply for and land your first MSL job. It normally sells for $397.  I invite you to take a look at it at nonclinicalphysicians.com/mslcourse/. As an incentive to sign up NOW, if you use the Coupon Code HALFOFF you will be able to jump in this week and be on your way to applying for an MSL job in a few weeks, at a much-reduced cost.  =============== You can support this podcast by making a small monthly or annual donation.
