Kohberger's Medication Exposed: RET FBI Breaks Down New Levothyroxine Finding In this segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer unpack a newly spotted detail from the released apartment photos: a prescription bearing Bryan Kohberger's name associated with levothyroxine (thyroxine), a common thyroid medication. The discussion is not medical advice and does not suggest the drug causes violence; millions take thyroid medication safely. Instead, the focus is investigative: what does finding a specific prescription mean inside a suspect's residence—and what does the absence of other expected prescriptions suggest? Coffindaffer explains why investigators always check the medicine cabinet and nightstand: prescriptions can inform timelines, potential defense arguments, and medical histories that may surface in court. Here, the standout is twofold. First, the presence of a routine thyroid medication rather than prescriptions matching publicly discussed self-diagnoses (e.g., autism spectrum, OCD, ADHD, ARFID). Second, the many unanswered questions: Who prescribed it? For how long? Was Kohberger adherent? Did he travel with a second bottle to Pennsylvania? Was dosing stable, recent, or lapsed? Tony raises a broader criminal-procedure point: medications can become narrative tools at trial, as history has shown with “diet,” “sleep,” or other drugs being argued as mitigating or aggravating context. Coffindaffer notes levothyroxine is not that kind of high-risk medication and cautions against drawing dramatic conclusions. Still, in true crime reporting, documenting what exists—and what doesn't—is crucial. If other psychiatric prescriptions were anticipated based on filings or claims but were not present in the apartment search, that delta becomes an evidentiary question, not a conclusion. The segment also considers practical adherence issues: how people sometimes stop daily meds they deem “non-urgent,” how thyroid imbalance can affect energy or appetite, and why establishing what was in a “go bag” matters for timeline reconstruction. Presented in a professional, cinematic news style, this is a careful, fact-driven look at a detail likely to recur in legal analysis and public debate around the case.

Anxiety in kids doesn't always look like worry. Sometimes it shows up as stomachaches, sleep struggles, irritability, or even constant visits to the school nurse. As pediatricians, we know this is one of the most common challenges families face today and parents are often left wondering: Is this normal? Do I need to be worried? What do I do next? In this episode, I'm joined by pediatrician and author Dr. Natasha Burgert, who just released Managing Childhood Anxiety For Dummies. We talk about how anxiety can look different in kids, when parents should reach out for help, and the many supportive steps families can take before medication is even on the table. We cover: The many faces of anxiety in children (it's often a chameleon) How to talk to your child about anxiety without making it scarier Why early screening matters and what those forms really mean (spoiler: not a label) Common myths about medication and how SSRIs actually work How school transitions (hello, September stomachaches) can trigger anxiety To connect with Dr. Natasha Burgert check out all her resources at https://kckidsdoc.substack.com/.

Have a message for Karena? She'd love to hear from you and share your comment or question on air!Leave Karena a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/KarenaDawnWhat if the breakdown you feared was actually the doorway to your greatest sense of peace?In this transformative episode of The Big Silence, Karena sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and Dear Gabby podcast host Gabby Bernstein. From uncovering repressed childhood trauma in her mid-30s to navigating postpartum depression with courage and honesty, Gabby shares the tools that helped her move from chaos to calm. She opens up about EMDR therapy, medication without shame, reparenting the inner child, and finding relief one step at a time. Whether you're in the depths of anxiety, grieving a loss, or simply craving a gentler way to heal, Gabby's wisdom offers both compassion and practical next steps.How do you combine spiritual tools and evidence-based therapy to heal trauma without shame, guilt, or overwhelm?Healing isn't about being “fixed.” It's about creating safety, awareness, and compassion so you can finally live in peace.(02:06) Naming the Why Behind PatternsSpirituality and sobriety can plant seeds, but trauma will still surface in anxiety, addiction, or control.Memory of trauma can return much later in life; healing doesn't require forcing recall.Recognizing “what happened to me” instead of “what's wrong with me” reframes the path forward.(05:09) EMDR, DemystifiedBilateral stimulation (eye movement, tapping, sounds) opens a safe “window of tolerance.”Starting with a present trigger often links back to earlier wounds.Small issues may shift quickly; deeper trauma requires more time but reduces triggers steadily.(09:02) Postpartum Depression: When Meditation Isn't EnoughSigns include panic attacks, insomnia, and suicidal thoughts. This is biochemical, not a personal failing.Antidepressants can create a baseline of safety so therapy becomes effective.Meds are not a shortcut but a foundation; Gabby paired them with three therapy sessions a week.(14:37) Grief Without GuiltApproach grief in doses: feel some, then step back before re-engaging.Notice when numbing shows up; honor it as a protective strategy.Relief through TV, rest, or joy is part of healthy grieving, not a failure.(18:51) Getting Unstuck: The 3-Question InventoryAfter each trigger, ask: 1) What triggered me? 2) What do I feel? 3) How do I run from it?Recognize patterns as protective, not personality flaws.Writing it down builds compassion and creates room for change.(20:30) Reparenting Yourself with the 4 S'sSafe: Breathwork, sleep, and grounding to calm your nervous system.Seen: Validate your wins and speak to yourself with compassion.Soothed: Make therapy and support part of your routine.Secure: Consistency builds an inner foundation of trust and resilience.(24:54) Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: Proceed with CareShould only be done with trained clinicians under clinical guidelines.Medication conflicts exist; research protocols carefully.Curiosity is valid, but sobriety and safety must guide decisions.(28:57) Resources & Next...

Have you been hearing the buzz about the new medication approved for the treatment of fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia can come with a myriad of symptoms that make everyday life more difficult. With the limited pharmaceutical options available, the addition of another FDA-approved medication is a ray of hope. Tonmya™ is the first medication approved for fibromyalgia in over 15 years, promising a new option for those of us with fibromyalgia. Today, Tami is joined by Dr. Seth Lederman, one of the co-founders of the company that developed Tonmya™, to talk about the journey from idea to FDA approval and what it could mean for the fibromyalgia community. With decades of experience in rheumatology, immunology, and drug development, Dr. Lederman has been focused on helping people with fibromyalgia for much of his career. In this conversation, Tami and Dr. Lederman discuss his medical and research background, why he focused on fibromyalgia, advances in fibromyalgia research, the FDA approval process, why Tonmya™ targets non-restorative sleep and Dr. Harvey Moldofsky's influence, clinical trial design, dosing studies, and FDA requirements, outcomes measured in trials and the focus on pain reduction and sleep challenges, challenges in developing Tonmya™ including high placebo response and financial risks, how Tonmya™ differs from Flexeril, side effects of Tonmya™ and how it compares to other treatments, how quickly patients may see benefits, tolerability and safety considerations, when Tonmya™ will be available and how it will be distributed, how patients can access Tonmya™ and find more information, efforts to make Tonmya™ affordable, the need for advocacy and raising awareness, future steps for Tonmya™, what you need to know about the criticisms of early Tonmya™ studies, and more.         Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice.

ADHD Support isn't One-Size-Fits-All — Here's how to find what works for your child.This week on the podcast, we're joined by our Naturopath Sarah Worboys to explore a topic that's becoming increasingly important (and confusing) for families: how to best support children with ADHD.Rates of diagnosis and medication use are rising rapidly, particularly among adolescents and many parents are left wondering if their child will benefit from medication and if there are natural and complementary options worth exploring. In this episode, we have an honest and grounded conversation that bridges the gap between mainstream treatment and naturopathic support.Whether your child has just received a diagnosis, is already on medication, or you're still exploring what ADHD support could look like — this episode will help you feel clearer, more confident, and better equipped to make decisions that feel aligned with your values.In This Episode, We Cover:Why ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions have become more common and what this means for families.The benefits and challenges of common ADHD medications, and when they may be most helpful.How nutrition, supplements, and gut health play a role in supporting kids with ADHD.Why a whole-child, holistic approach is key when it comes to supporting kids with ADHD.Practical naturopathic strategies to support attention, behaviour, and emotional regulation (even alongside medication).How we can better advocate for our kids in a system that often takes a one-size-fits-all approach.

Americans take a lot of medications. Luckily, the Food and Drug Administration only approves those that are safe and effective. However, the agency's definition of “safe” includes medicines that can harm or kill some people, and the definition of “effective” covers some drugs that only work a little better than placebo. Has the FDA changed […]

Endocrinologist Joy Wu says that osteoporosis can affect more than half of women and a quarter of men over 50 – often without symptoms until a fracture changes everything, leading to a loss of mobility and independence. Wu explains why bones weaken with age and how to strengthen them through exercise and smart medicine. Her lab is exploring innovative drugs and turning skin cells into new bone-forming osteoblasts. We're delving into the great mystery of building new bone and making old bones stronger, Wu tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Desmopressin is a synthetic analog of vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). It works by mimicking the action of natural ADH on the kidneys, primarily increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. This effect reduces urine production and helps concentrate the urine. Because of this mechanism, desmopressin is commonly used in conditions like diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), and sometimes for nocturia in adults. It also has a role in certain bleeding disorders, such as mild hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease, since it can increase plasma levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. In this podcast, we will explore desmopressin pharmacology and much more. Desmopressin is available in several dosage forms, including oral tablets, intranasal spray, and injectable formulations. The choice depends on the indication and patient-specific factors such as age, convenience, or the need for rapid effect. Adverse effects of desmopressin are largely related to water balance. Because it reduces urine output, patients are at risk for water retention and hyponatremia, which can lead to headaches, confusion, seizures, or in severe cases, coma. Monitoring sodium levels is especially important in elderly patients and those taking other medications that can affect fluid or electrolyte balance. Clinicians also need to be mindful of drug interactions. Medications that increase the risk of hyponatremia, such as SSRIs, carbamazepine, or certain diuretics, may enhance desmopressin's adverse effects. Conversely, drugs that blunt its activity can reduce effectiveness. Careful monitoring and patient education are key parts of safe use.

When Serena Williams—the most dominant tennis player and cultural trailblazer—reveals her use of a weight loss drug and becomes the face of a sleek new ad campaign, the internet doesn't just react…it explodes. But what's really fueling the debate around celebrities, body image, and the next wave of GLP-1 weight loss meds like Zepbound? On this episode of “Better Than Fine,” host Darlene Marshall delivers her hot take on Serena's headline-grabbing weight loss journey, unpacking the science, the social firestorm, and the deeply personal questions these choices raise for public figures and their followers. Why do we care when someone like Serena goes public—but barely shrug when Charles Barkley does the same? Are influencers betraying the body positivity movement, or just owning their choices? And what's really at stake for your mental and physical health if you're considering these trending prescriptions? From the celebrity endorsement backlash to the shady side of hidden weight loss, and from cultural shifts in body ideals to the overlooked risks—like muscle loss—Darlene breaks it all down with expert insight.

Victor Davis Hanson explains why this was not simply a tragedy, but an act of evil, and why the media and political leaders refuse to have an honest discussion about the factors behind it on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “They won't have any discussion over transgenderism. This falls in the broader category of exempt DEI woke topics, but I think we should talk about this. This is the fourth or fifth incident—I don't even like the word "incident"—occurrence of transgendered shooters who are protected by authorities. “We were told, "Be careful about Big Pharma. Be careful about Big Med." All of those worries and prohibitions and cautions were thrown out the window, as were SSRI antidepressants. These were selective serotonin prohibitors. In other words, they altered the chemistry of the brain, supposedly, to correct mental disturbances, depression, bipolarity. But they're very dangerous drugs. But when it came to the exempt topic of transgenderism, suddenly the society was supposed to accept that this was not a mental disorder. It was not a rare occurrence. It was a national crisis where large percentages of the population were transgendering.”

The Texas Senate on Tuesday gave initial approval to a much-anticipated bill aiming to tamp down on the mailing of abortion pills into the state. The bill, if signed into law, would create a new pathway for enforcing Texas' strict abortion ban. It would allow regular citizens to file civil lawsuits against anyone who distributes abortion pills within Texas or anyone who mails abortion pills to Texas. In other news, Texas' business-friendly climate has helped make it the “headquarters of headquarters.” With Dallas becoming what Christopher Kleinert, chief executive officer of Hunt Realty Investments, recently called an “epicenter for financial activity,” many Fortune 500 companies are planting down roots in the region, or adding to their Texas operations; the sale of lab-grown meat has been banned in Texas for two years as part of Senate Bill 261. The law states that “a person may not manufacture, process, possess, distribute, offer for sale, or sell cell-cultured protein.” Although its production and use were not widespread in the state, some believe its ban violates people's constitutional rights, impacting what consumers can and can't purchase; and cases of COVID-19 are spiking in Texas as a new variant spreads across much of the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID variant XFG, nicknamed Stratus, accounts for three-fourths of COVID cases in the U.S. Learn more about your ad choices.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic were designed to treat diabetes—but they're quickly becoming known for weight loss and possible kidney benefits. Kidney doctor Holly Kramer and kidney patients Patrick Gee, and Jane DeMeis, are here to break down what these medications are, how they work, and what people with kidney disease need to know.   In today's episode we heard from: Holly Kramer, M.D., MPH, is a practicing nephrologist who conducts research connecting nutrition and kidney health. Her connection to the National Kidney Foundation was inspired by her mom, who was a dialysis nurse and helped create some of the first dialysis units in Northwest Indiana. Dr. Kramer finds being on the NKF Board important, because it is the largest, patient-centered organization focusing on kidney disease. Her long-term goal is to increase national funding for kidney disease research and to heighten awareness about chronic kidney disease. Jane DeMeis  became involved with the National Kidney Foundation when she was diagnosed in 2018 with stage 4 kidney disease. She is currently on home hemodialysis and the transplant waitlist. Ms. DeMeis was the Director of Education and Organizational Development for U R Medicine Home Care.
