 James McConkie represents the first guest from Northern Ireland on the podcast, discussing how cannabis laws differ between Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland.Medical cannabis is legal in the UK only by prescription, requiring patients to have one diagnosed condition and try two treatments before qualifying for medical cannabis access.James began selling drugs including cannabis and cocaine after his father's death at age 13, followed by his mother's cancer diagnosis six months later, leading him into illegal activities throughout his teens.Police intervention at age 20-21 served as a wake-up call for James, prompting him to completely change his life direction and stop selling drugs while facing potential prison time.Isolation and self-reflection became key strategies for James to distance himself from criminal associates and rebuild his life through meetings and personal development.ADHD and autism diagnoses came at age 25, explaining lifelong challenges James experienced with concentration, food textures and colors, and social interactions that he hadn't understood previously.Cannabis provides significant relief for James's ADHD symptoms including impulsiveness, inability to concentrate, and autism-related issues with appetite and sleep disorders.Medication reduction from five prescriptions to two occurred after James began using medical cannabis through private clinics in the UK.UK law requires medical cannabis patients to use only dry herb vaporizers rather than smoking, despite allowing cigarette smoking which is known to be harmful.James's mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and he has served as her primary caregiver since age 23, adding complexity to his personal challenges.Night terrors and sleep disturbances from traumatic experiences during his drug-dealing years have been significantly improved through cannabis use before bedtime.Private medical cannabis treatment costs up to 750 pounds per month in the UK, with premium flower costing 160 pounds for 10 grams.James now works as a cannabis advocate, collaborating with Life clinic in Northern Ireland to help others understand medical cannabis options and transition away from traditional medications.

What happens when even surgery and supplements can't get a broken bone to heal?When Dr. Ben Weitz fractured his femur and was told it might never heal, he turned to the same principles he's used with patients for decades: ‘root cause, functional medicine' thinking. In this conversation, he shares how he designed a bone-healing protocol that combined targeted nutrition, vitamin K2 and vitamin D optimization, growth factors, and the right kind of exercise stimulus. We also discuss why bone loss and osteoporosis aren't just ‘aging issues', how testing like trabecular bone scores can reveal what DEXA scans miss, and why many medications block bone repair instead of rebuilding it. The story offers a powerful look at how science, persistence, and patient intuition can work together to restore strength naturally.If you've ever worried about bone density, fractures, or slow healing, this episode will help you understand what your bones really need to rebuild safely and effectively.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:35 – Podcast Intro 02:45 – Dr. Weitz's Hip Fracture Story04:40 – Rehab and Early Supplements08:20 – Deciding Against Revision Surgery09:50 – Understanding Bone Cells11:45 – Using Forteo for Healing12:45 – Why Monitoring Bone Markers Matters13:50 – Adding Growth Hormone14:50 – Bone Stimulator Protocol15:27 – Effective Exercises for Bone16:40 – Ballistic Loading Benefits17:55 – Bone Density vs Bone Strength18:37 – Understanding Trabecular Bone Score19:40 – Why Positioning Affects DEXA21:10 – Reading Full DEXA Printouts23:22 – Men Rarely Get Bone Scans27:02 – Bone Stimulator Options29:20 – Risks of Bone Medications33:50 – Considering Osteoporosis Treatment34:03 – Medication vs Natural Approach36:55 – Vitamin D and Vitamin K39:55 – Calcium Myths Explained42:27 – Iodine Contrast Considerations45:49 – Where to Find Dr. Ben47:22 – Podcast Outro47:42 – Final Takeaways & Dr. Eric's Closing ThoughtsAbout Dr. Ben Weitz: Dr. Ben Weitz is a Certified Sports Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner for more than 35 years and he has worked with professional sports teams.  He wrote a book in 1998, “The Back Relief Book”, and has published several papers on the prevention of injuries in weight training Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

State Laws Banning Prior Authorization For Medications For Opioid Use Disorder Increased Substantially, 2015–23 Health Affairs While medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is effective treatment, most patients with OUD don't receive it and prior authorization (PA) has been a barrier to access. Researchers looked at state policies trying to address this barrier, specifically for private health insurance, between 2015 and 2022. Some states adopted “full prohibitions” against PAs while others adopted “partial prohibitions” that allowed PA under some circumstances. Overall, the number of states with at least some prohibition increased from 2 in 2015 to 22 in 2023. In addition, 7 states adopted “full prohibitions” initially, while 15 adopted “partial prohibitions”, with 4 of those 15 transitioning to “full prohibitions” later. Additional research will be needed to assess the impact of these prohibitions, but this study elucidates the current landscape of policy.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor dive into your burning questions from around the world—exploring misunderstood metabolic problems, hard-won solutions for real people, and the science behind the headlines. From “selfish brain” physiology to the rollercoaster of insurance and medication access, Dr. Cooper brings clinical clarity and practical hope.Hear real-world listener stories, get advice on tuning your metabolic health, and learn why personalization—not “calories in, calories out”—leads to better outcomes. This is no silver bullet show: it's metabolic medicine, mythbusting, and science-backed encouragement for your journey.Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the “selfish brain” and how does it really impact blood sugar and diabetes risk?Why do GLP-1 medications affect stamina and hunger, and how should you fuel your body if you're using them?If insurance pulls coverage for medications like Ozempic or Zepbound, what are your practical, safe, and affordable options?How do metabolic markers, medication “cocktails,” and genetic testing shape Dr. Cooper's individualized care—and can you taper off meds and maintain results?What does “normal” blood sugar look like after meals, and how do you distinguish trends from outliers?Key TakeawaysMetabolism is complex—individualized care is essential. Diabetes, hypoglycemia, and insulin resistance all have personal causes and require testing like the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test to solve—not one-size-fits-all advice. GLP-1s require smart fueling. Many experience reduced stamina on these medications. Dr. Cooper recommends upping both complex and simple carbs pre-exercise and consulting with a registered dietitian if fatigue persists. Insurance coverage is a challenge—but not the end. Generic options (like liraglutide/Victoza via Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs), manufacturer programs, and “cocktail” regimens can support continued progress, even if you lose access to top-brand GLP-1s. Feedback loops & genetics drive lasting outcomes. While some patients can successfully—slowly—taper medications, most with metabolic dysfunction will need long-term support. “Clean eating” alone rarely reverses underlying feedback loop glitches. Monitoring is powerful. Using blood sugar monitors (especially for diabetics) can demystify meal spikes and help fine-tune nutrition and medication timing. Personal stories reflect broader truths. Listeners share struggles and solutions, reinforcing that metabolic health spans medication, motivation, and mindset.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsAlways dig deeper with testing—not just A1C but also post-meal spikes via the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test.If you're prescribed a GLP-1 and struggle with energy, increase carb intake safely and talk to a doctor about medication adjustment. For lost coverage, stick to FDA-approved sources: Lilly Direct for Zepbound, Novocare for Wegovy, and Mark Cuban for generics. Don't risk unregulated online compounds. Recognize the difference between generalized “healthy” habits and targeted strategies that actually move your biomarkers.Stay consistent and compassionate—focus on small improvements over extremes and absolutes.Notable Quote“The metabolism is regulated by a feedback loop…when you introduce outside hormone forms, you strengthen signals to favor fuel utilization over energy conservation.”— Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramGeneric medication access: Mark Cuban Cost Plus DrugsZepbound direct: Lilly DirectAdditional info: Novocare for WegovyFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

In the November 2025 episode of RAPM Focus, ASRA Pain Medicine Past-President and RAPM Editor David Provenzano, MD, converses with Megan Rolfzen, MD, and Karsten Bartels, MD, PhD, MBA, following the July 2025 publication of their original research article, “Post-Surgical Medication, Awareness, Recovery, and Tracking Using a Phone-Based App (SMART-APP): A Randomized Controlled Trial.” In their clinical trial, Drs. Rolfzen, Bartels, et. al., tested the hypothesis that a patient-facing educational smartphone app would permit surgical patients to effectively manage their pain while using fewer opioids after discharge. Dr. Rolfzen is an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the University of Michigan and a scholar in the NIH T90 HEAL PAIN program.  Dr. Bartels is a professor of anesthesiology, psychiatry, and learning health sciences at the University of Michigan and leads a research program focused on perioperative pain and mental health. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Your migraines disappeared for 10 years... now they're back. Did you get worse, or are you actually getting better? This might sound crazy, but when migraines return after remission, it doesn't always mean you're declining. You might be moving through your migraine zone on your way to better health. In this episode, I teach the compass needle analogy. This is the framework I use to evaluate every client's true health status. Your health is like a compass needle. North is optimal health. As the needle moves west and south, it passes through symptom zones you're prone to: allergies, heartburn, migraines, autoimmune disease, and beyond. Here's what almost no one understands: You can be too sick to get migraines. Your needle can drop below your migraine zone into more severe illness. When I developed Graves' disease in 2012, I stopped getting migraines, not because I was healthier, but because I was too sick to generate them. The crucial question: When symptoms disappear, did your needle move toward north (health) or south (decline)? Medication can mask symptoms without moving your needle at all. Side effects often indicate your needle is dropping even further. I also share the story of a client whose migraines improved during a bad cold, her body didn't have enough vitality to do both. Plus, you'll hear about lessons from my work in addiction medicine where patients would suddenly get terrible colds around week three of recovery as their vitality returned.

Anne Meneghetti, Executive  Director of epocrates, is focused on medication management and providing tools for clinicians to better handle challenges from the increasing population of patients who take multiple drugs and are treating a wide variety of conditions. The epocrates app provides access to drug information, pill identification, checks for interactions, and calculates dosing, reducing medication errors and patient confusion. Polypharmacy patients are further at risk when they are taking over-the-counter drugs and supplements, requiring regular medication reconcilation to avoid serious drug interactions. Anne explains, "So epocrates has been around since the late 1990s, and it's the number one mobile medical app in the country in terms of physician usership. And it's both a free model and a subscription model. The main reason why clinicians use epocrates is because of the drug information. So, quickly looking up a drug dose, for example, if a drug needs to be prescribed by weight, what is the calculation for that? And there's no way that clinicians can memorize 8,000 drugs. So having it in a quick, easy-to-use app is really crucial in modern times. And sometimes it's not that the clinician doesn't know the dose of the drug, it's just that validation. When you pick up an app and look and see, yep, that's what I thought it was. And that validation, that sense of confidence, is something really precious for a busy clinician. We also use it for drug interactions." "We find that clinicians really value drug interactions because you can't memorize 8,000 drugs interacting with 8,000 other drugs. And your EHR might tell you if you're trying to prescribe two drugs at the same time, your EHR might tell you, oh, red light, green light, yellow light. But a really good drug reference, like epocrates can tell you, if you're going to prescribe these two drugs together, you need to cut the dose of this one in half and you need to monitor the potassium levels. We find that clinicians really value drug interactions because you can't memorize 8,000 drugs interacting with 8,000 other drugs.

If you've had bariatric surgery, you already know what it means to commit fully to your health.  But even with your best efforts, bodies adapt, hormones shift, and life adds its own complications. When weight begins to creep back, many people turn to GLP-1 medications for support, and that raises a crucial question: How well do GLP-1s actually work after bariatric surgery?I recently heard from a listener living this exact experience — someone who lost more than 200 pounds after gastric bypass and has now started Zepbound to address weight regain. Her story opens the door to an important conversation about why GLP-1 medications can behave differently in a post-bariatric body, why results may not mirror those of someone without surgical history, and how to redefine success when you've already achieved a significant transformation.ReferencesThe Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 1)The Obesity Guide: Behind the Curtain (Season 2) - Includes access to the December 21-Day Challenge with daily coaching, actionable steps, and community support to end your year with momentum.Audio Stamps00:40 - Dr. Rentea shares a heartwarming reunion at the VA, reconnecting with former colleagues and reflecting on how far she's come in her weight loss journey.07:10 - Fan mail question: Does Zepbound (tirzepatide) work the same after gastric bypass surgery, and what weight loss results should you expect?09:11 - Why post-bariatric patients often respond better to GLP-1 medications and become "hyper responders" at lower doses.16:18 - Redefining success: why focusing on your relationship with food and sustainability matters more than hitting a specific weight loss percentage.17:48 - Common post-surgery pitfalls including grazing patterns, excessive step counting, and neglecting body composition tracking.20:42 - Information on the December 21-Day Challenge and upcoming 30/30 program rounds.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

In this powerful episode, I will break down one of the biggest developments in obesity and diabetes treatment in U.S. history. Two major pharmaceutical companies - Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk - have reached a groundbreaking agreement with the administration that will drastically reduce the prices of popular medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound. This pricing model could transform how obesity medications are covered, distributed, and accessed across Medicare, Medicaid, and direct-to-consumer platforms.

Could the root cause of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension really be the same? In this video, I'll show you how to prevent chronic illness by effectively addressing the root cause, rather than just the symptom. “Based on my genetic report, identify which genes show adaptations to ancestral diets (hunter-gatherer, farming, natural). Then, explain how these same genes may create a mismatch with modern diets and environments. For each, show practical consequences and strategies to thrive today.”0:00 Introduction: The #1 root cause of chronic disease 0:20 Medicine ignores the root cause of health problems 1:23 What causes chronic disease?4:45 Genetics and chronic disease10:16 Tips for chronic disease preventionMedicine aims to label a disease and treat the symptoms with medication. Medication comes with side effects, which are then treated with more medication. Focusing on the root cause of health problems could help avoid numerous issues. The average adult consumes over 50% of their calories from ultra-processed foods. Food is readily available, we're constantly looking at screens, and we're exposed to toxins like never before. Sterilized food and environments have caused underdeveloped immune systems and epidemic-level nutrient deficiencies. Genetics plays a role in disease and immunity, but there's more to it.

This week we speak with Ohio State ACHD fellow Andrew Freddo MD, PhD about a recent large single center study he conducted assessing the cardiovascular drugs that adult Fontan patients are taking and whether they might offer us insights into general well-being. Are there agents that are associated with worse outcomes? If so, is this a situation of the agent causing harm or is it a possible marker of illness? Are there agents associated with improved outcomes? These are amongst the questions reviewed with Dr. Freddo this week. DOI: 10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.102070

Unfocused. Not living up to potential. Dr. G thought that about himself for decades… until at 41, he discovered he actually has ADHD. Suddenly the lost keys, unfinished projects, chronic lateness, sensory overwhelm, and shame all made sense. In this intimate solo episode, Dr. G breaks down the neuroscience of adult ADHD, the trauma-based model Gabor Maté teaches, why the default mode network hijacks focus, how stimulant medications impact dopamine long term, and the lifestyle + supplement strategies backed by research. In This Episode: • How ADHD shows up in adults (and why it gets mislabeled as character flaws) • Why high-functioning people go decades without knowing they have ADHD • What the brain science actually reveals about focus, motivation & time perception • The Gabor Maté trauma model — ADHD as adaptation vs disorder • The stimulant conversation: benefits, risks, and dependency realities • Lifestyle anchors that support the ADHD brain (sleep times, routines, movement) • Research-backed supplements that can help support attention Key Takeaways: ✅ ADHD isn't laziness — it's neurodevelopment + nervous system wiring ✅ Trauma in childhood shapes time perception and attention patterns ✅ Medication can help, but informed consent is essential ✅ Exercise, structure, breathwork, and key nutrients truly support regulation ✅ Compassion — not shame — is what actually unlocks change Timestamps: 0:00 - Discovering I Have ADHD at 41 1:04 - My Entire Life Suddenly Made Sense 2:39 - The Idyllwild Moment: How I Found Out 4:45 - Everyone Knew But Me 7:31 - The Real Science Behind ADHD 13:56 - Childhood Signs I Missed 17:31 - What ADHD Actually Is (Not Laziness) 19:33 - Gabor Maté: ADHD as Adaptation to Stress 22:39 - Breaking Free from Shame 24:03 - The Truth About Adderall & Stimulants 26:49 - Natural Tools That Actually Help 28:15 - My Action Plan Moving Forward
