Come along for this ride! Join us for a fun and lively discussion with pharmacist, Dr. Dean Elbe. Sandra and Dean were colleagues close to 30 years ago when Sandra first started out in clinical nutrition. Rob and Sandra have some questions for Dean and the conversation covers a broad range of topics such as GLP-1 antagonists (weight loss medications), grapefruit and medication interactions, caffeine, antidepressants, antacids and Proton pump inhibitors, various supplements, and so much more. This is a wild and windy ride of an interview, with so many questions answered plus many more to discuss with Dean in future episodes! As a pharmacy student in 1991, Dean began researching drug-nutrient interactions for a local dietitian group. His interest in grapefruit-drug interactions led him to create the Grapefruit-Drug interactions website, which caught the attention of Zaneta Pronsky, author of Food-Medications Interactions (FMI). She invited Dr. Elbe to edit FMI, and together they toured the US, presenting on FMI at state and DPG meetings, and at FNCE Philadelphia. Dr. Elbe authored the 18th and 19th editions of the handbooks before production ceased in 2019. Seeing the need for reliable information, Dr. Elbe launched Drug Nutrition Interactions (DNI), an extensive database with over 1,100 peer-reviewed drug entries. Senior dietitian Dr. Mary Litchford provided the dietary recommendations and curated dietary guidelines. DNI is a web app, specially designed for dietitians and nutrition professionals, offering reliable and easily accessible medication information on any device.

Are you worried your teen's anxiety, depression, or mood swings are more than just “normal teen behavior”? Have you ever wondered if psychiatric medication could actually help—but felt scared or unsure where to start? In this eye-opening episode, I speak with Dr. Paul Corona, a Southern California-based physician and author of The Corona Protocol. Dr. Corona shares why the traditional psychiatric model often falls short—and how his innovative approach combines mind and body medicine for faster, more effective healing. With over 30 years of experience, he explains how treating the root cause of mood disorders can change a teen's life trajectory and even help prevent addiction, bullying, school shootings, homelessness, and suicide. We also dig into how to recognize when a teen needs psychiatric help, how medication really works, and why a diagnosis like ADHD doesn't mean your child is “broken.” Here are three powerful takeaways from our conversation: Symptoms are signals. A drop in grades, irritability, or self-isolation may not just be stress—it could be an untreated mood disorder or anxiety that's interfering with your teen's functioning. Medication isn't the enemy. When properly prescribed, medications don't “mess up” your teen—they restore balance, relieve suffering, and often lead to rapid transformation. And no, it doesn't always mean a lifetime prescription. You're not a bad parent. Seeking help doesn't mean you've failed. In fact, early intervention can change the course of your teen's life—improving not just their mood, but their relationships, academics, and future well-being.

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright explore why metabolic health transformations require time, persistence, and a holistic approach. Andrea shares her 14-year journey with Dr. Cooper, highlighting the slow, individualized nature of healing a dysfunctional metabolism and why quick fixes rarely work. Dr. Cooper explains how complex feedback loops, hormonal adaptations, and life events can slow progress—and why health markers, not just the number on the scale, are crucial measures of success. The conversation encourages patience, self-compassion, and a focus on sustainable health, not just rapid weight loss.Key Takeaways:Healing metabolic dysfunction is a complex, highly individualized process that often takes years—not weeks or months.Dieting, stress, disrupted sleep, and misguided exercise can send the body into "famine mode," making weight loss even harder.Metrics like blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose often improve before significant weight loss occurs—these health gains matter.Medications and bariatric surgery can help in stubborn cases, but long-term success depends on a combination of medical, lifestyle, and psychological support.As many as 20% of patients may be "non-responders" to current treatments, highlighting the need for ongoing metabolic research and new therapies.Personal Stories & Practical Advice:Andrea details her long road—from early GLP-1 medications and plateaus to bariatric surgery and ongoing adjustments—with the emphasis that patience paid off.Dr. Cooper and Mark reinforce the importance of redefining food as fuel and joy, not the enemy, and letting go of blame or unrealistic expectations tied to the scale.The episode highlights small wins, the value of routine lab work, and celebrating all forms of progress—especially the non-scale victories.Resources:Connect with Dr. Emily Cooper on LinkedIn.Connect with Mark Wright on LinkedIn.Connect with Andrea Taylor on Instagram.Fat Science is a podcast on a mission to explain where our fat really comes from and why it won't go and stay away.

Dr. Casey Grover breaks down psychiatric medications and their role in addiction treatment, explaining how different medications work, when they're most appropriate, and which ones to avoid. He provides a practical overview based on his extensive experience treating patients with substance use disorders.• Psychiatric medications get developed through research on brain receptors and undergo rigorous testing before FDA approval• Medications often have "off-label" uses that weren't originally intended but provide benefits in certain situations• Antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs serve as the foundation for treating depression in people with addiction• Using non-addictive options like hydroxyzine, clonidine, and buspirone is crucial when treating anxiety in recovery• Trazodone and mirtazapine are preferred for sleep issues over benzodiazepines and "Z-drugs" that can create dependence• ADHD treatment requires careful consideration when patients have stimulant use disorder histories• Benzodiazepines should be avoided when possible as they paradoxically worsen anxiety over time• Medication selection should consider urgency of conditions, past medication responses, and potential side effects• Some psychiatric conditions may improve with therapy allowing medication reduction, while others require long-term treatmentThank you for taking the time to learn about addiction. It's a fight we cannot win without awareness and action. There's still so much we can do to improve how addiction is treated. Together we can make it happen. Remember, treating addiction saves lives.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Her love of fitness and nutrition runs deep – she has been in the fitness industry as an athlete for 10+ years and has owned a women's only fitness business since 2018.

For people with long-term health conditions - like asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure - renewing a prescription will get easier and cheaper. From next year doctors can prescribe medication for 12 months - up from three months. Health minister Simeon Brown says this will save people paying for GPs to issue repeat prescriptions. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham asked people outside a Palmerston North pharmacy what they thought of the move.

This presentation explores the challenges and needs of military operations in the Arctic, particularly focusing on cold-weather medicine and the stability of medications in extreme conditions. Emily emphasizes the urgency of improving medic training and resources, the lack of solid data on medication efficacy in cold environments, and the need for innovative solutions to ensure medics can operate effectively. She calls for collaboration and data sharing among partner nations to enhance medical care in extreme cold environments.Sorry, if you would like to see the slides, you'll have to become a paid member. TakeawaysWe don't have a whole lot of military presence above the Arctic Circle.Cold is the enemy; we need to get used to it.The greatest need is initial care at the point of injury.We need to improve the ability of our medics to operate efficiently in cold environments.Most medication stability data is from controlled environments, not extreme conditions.We need to test medications in field environments to understand their stability.Base layer transport is a promising method for carrying medications in cold weather.We need actual inventions that work for medics in the field.Siloing up information is not the answer; we need collaboration.Identifying high-priority medications is crucial for effective cold-weather operations.Chapters00:00 The Arctic Military Landscape02:47 Challenges of Cold Weather Medicine05:59 Medication Stability in Extreme Conditions08:54 Innovative Solutions for Cold Weather Operations11:52 Data Collection and Research Needs15:04 Practical Tips for Medics in Cold Environments18:02 Future Directions in Cold Weather Medical CareThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.deltadevteam.comFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
Breakthrough drugs are changing medicine, offering new hope in pill form. But the system meant to protect patients is under strain. The U.S. develops over 40% of new medications, and the FDA plays a central role in ensuring their safety. Harvard pharmacology professor Dr. Jerry Avorn says industry pressure has quietly weakened FDA standards, allowing risky or barely effective drugs to slip through. In his new book he reveals how this happened and shares practical advice for patients trying to make decisions about what we are willing to swallow. The book is called Rethinking Medications: Truth, Power, and the Drugs You Take.

Care to Change Counseling - Practical Solutions for Positive Change
In this insightful episode, we dive into common myths about depression and how they can impact our understanding and approach to mental health. Jared Jones, a returning expert, provides valuable guidance on navigating depression and offers practical steps for those struggling with it.Common Myths About Depression:Depression is "just" depressionReality: Depression is often intertwined with underlying issues like anxiety or trauma. It's rarely a simple, isolated condition.Depression is simply a chemical imbalance in the brainReality: While chemicals play a role, the brain's complexity means that treatment must also address brain circuitry, not just chemical levels.Medication is the only or permanent solutionReality: Medication is a tool, like a cast for a broken bone, designed to support healing. The goal is to eventually reduce or stop medication with proper treatment and care.You must "fix yourself" before seeking supportReality: Healing is a shared process.

A global shortage of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication is causing concern here, according to a survey conducted by an ADHD charity.
In this episode, we're diving deep into Graves disease — what it actually is, how it differs from Hashimoto's, and the real talk on whether remission is possible. We unpack our clinical approaches to treating Graves naturally, how we work alongside conventional medicine (and sometimes solo), and the key factors we look at when supporting someone through hyperthyroidism. If you've been told you'll be on meds for life, or you're curious about a more holistic path — this one's for you.SEND US A QUESTIONS:https://www.speakpipe.com/theholistichealthpodcastFIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS & PMDD Natural Solutions Masterclass:https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/ Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Website - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathBook a Free Discovery Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOFree eBook 'Is mould making you sick?' - https://www.amieskilton.com/MPYHeBookFree webinar 'The 9 subtle signs your home has a mould problem' - https://www.amieskilton.com/MPYHwebinarMouldProof Your Home eCourse - https://www.amieskilton.com/mouldproofMould Prevention 101 mini-course - https://p.bttr.to/3Cp5DkB
This is the story of how I knew I needed to start an anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression. I also had to switch Primary Care Physicians because my old PCP was not listening to me and seemed very resistant to prescribing any medication for mental health. Greif, postpartum and the chaos of raising two toddlers sent me spiraling with both anxiety and depression. I got to a point where managing my mental health felt like a full time job, I did not have the time or the energy to manage my depression. My anxiety was making my ADHD worse, I couldn't get anything done and I knew in my gut that it was time to talk with my doctor about getting on something for my depression. I was breastfeeding at the time, and I had read that anti-anxiety medication can help with the symptoms of ADHD. I also knew that often-times one medication can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. After talking with my doctor, she recommended Zoloft or Sertraline. I had very few side effects, and after about a week or 10 days, I noticed a difference. After two or three weeks I felt like my old self again. I was laughing and could enjoy my children and my life as it was, instead of drowning everything in toxic positivity and hoping for the best. Topics Covered: Why I wanted to switch primary care physicians How grief and postpartum contributed to my mental health How I knew I needed an Anti-Depressant Medication How I knew I needed an Anti-Anxiety Medication How to talk with your doctor about mental health How I got diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression Thanks for listening!

Authorities identified 25 year old Twentynine Palms Guy Edward Bartkus in connection with the bombing and said he was likely killed in the blast.

Practicing internist and psychiatrist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "How America became overmedicated—and what we can do about it." He raises concerns about the high rate of psychotropic medication use in the U.S., citing CDC data suggesting nearly 1 in 4 adults may be taking these drugs, often without clear long-term plans or exit strategies. Muhamad contrasts this with U.K. NICE guidelines that emphasize structured deprescribing protocols, highlighting a significant gap in U.S. clinical guidance. He points to systemic issues like short medication management visits, lack of industry incentives for deprescribing, and the need for better physician training in distinguishing withdrawal symptoms from relapse. Dr. Rifai advocates for a national shift towards wellness, emphasizing medication optimization, integrated behavioral health (including therapy and trauma-informed care), addressing social determinants of health, and fostering recovery-oriented conversations that explore non-pharmacologic approaches like peer support, nutrition, and exercise. Actionable takeaways include the need for robust deprescribing guidelines, investment in holistic and integrated care models, and a conscious effort by clinicians to discuss not just starting medications, but also safely stopping them when appropriate.

A tragedy made it more terrible by how preventable it was. It is urgent that this story be told and widely shared, given the tidal wave of depression and anxiety disorders that has washed over the United States in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among young people. That tidal wave, combined with the overprescribing of powerful brain-altering medications and the widespread lack of awareness about the potentially lethal side effects of these drugs, is a prescription for disaster.This is a heartbreaking story of filicide, the potential risks of powerful antidepressants, and unforgiving justice with respect to crimes involving mental illness.He is the author of "Medication, Mental Illness, and Murder: What Really Killed the Crespi Twins." https://www.amazon.com/Medication-Mental-Illness-Murder-Really/dp/1538199297http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
IBS is frequently referred to as a diagnosis of exclusion: your doctor can't find anything else wrong; therefore, it must be IBS. But if you slice up the IBS pie and take a good look, you actually find lots of potential explanations for what might be causing your symptoms. In this episode I go through over 30 different causes of IBS symptoms. These are conditions that we see frequently in a gastroenterology practice that should definitely be on the list when somebody is complaining of abdominal pain or a change in their bowel habits. But in order to correctly diagnose these conditions, you have to be thinking beyond an umbrella diagnosis of “IBS”. You have to actually be interested in finding out what is causing the symptoms.

Today, we're chatting with Dr. Adam Urato, a fetal and maternal medicine specialist, to discuss the lack of informed consent given to pregnant women concerning certain medications they're taking, namely SSRI antidepressants. Dr. Urato tells us about the crucial role serotonin plays in fetal development and the negative effects that SSRI use in pregnancy can have on an unborn baby. We also discuss the increase in medical interventions in pregnancy in recent decades and how these interventions may not be as positive as they seem. And is the pharmaceutical industry to blame for doctors' lack of concern over SSRI use? This episode is brought to you by Olive, the app built for the MAHA movement.
