Podcasts about Medicine

What if the future of medicine looks less like a laboratory… and more like the life of the Church? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Michael Christian Kuhn, author of Orthodoxy and the Medicine of the Future, to explore the deep connection between spiritual life and physical health. We discuss how modern society has become increasingly disembodied — separated from rhythm, stillness, fasting, and community — and how many of today's chronic health struggles may reflect that deeper fragmentation. This conversation is not about rejecting modern medicine. It's about recovering wholeness. If you're Orthodox — or simply curious about how faith shapes health — this episode will help you think more clearly about the unity of body and soul.

Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of Oxalate Overload with Sally Norton, a Master in Public Health, Ivy League Nutritionist, and author of “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick and How to Get Better.” The discussion delves into the often misunderstood and overlooked issues related to dietary oxalates, commonly found in plant-based diets. Norton shares her personal health journey, which led to her research on dietary oxalate and its impact on various health conditions beyond kidney stones, including arthritis, fatigue, and neurodegenerative diseases. She explores how common foods like spinach, sweet potatoes, and dark chocolate can contribute to oxalate toxicity, and discusses the potential systemic effects and symptoms such as neurotoxicity and gastrointestinal issues. The conversation also covers the challenges in diagnosing oxalate overload, the inaccuracies in existing oxalate food tables, and practical steps for mitigating its harmful effects through diet and supplementation. Listen in to understand how to balance the benefits of plant-based nutrients with the risks of oxalate overload.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Sally Norton, a Master in Public Health, Ivy League Nutritionist, and author of “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick and How to Get Better.” 

Dr. Raymond Barnhill on Diagnostic Drift, Uncertainty, and the MPATH-Dx V2.0 Approach to Melanocytic LesionsIn this episode of The Girl Doc Survival Guide, Christine interviews Dr. Raymond Barnhill, a world-recognized dermatopathology expert known for work on diagnostically challenging melanocytic lesions, melanoma pathology references, and contributions to WHO skin tumor classification and AJCC melanoma staging. Dr. Barnhill shares career anecdotes and key communities at Yale and in Boston, collaborations with numerous melanoma leaders, and the founding of the North American Melanoma Pathology Study Group and the International Melanoma Pathology Study Group, as well as participation in the NIH-funded MPATH Study Group. The discussion focuses on overdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, and diagnostic discordance in melanocytic lesions, including evidence of diagnostic drift toward calling more lesions melanoma over time and the overlap between melanoma criteria and atypical/dysplastic nevi. He describes MPATH research, explains the revised MPATH-Dx V2.0 schema, explicitly recognizing uncertainty along a continuum rather than a strict benign/malignant threshold. He emphasizes practical diagnostic approaches including measuring lesion size (noting a 4 mm threshold associated with conventional dysplastic nevi and increasing concern at larger sizes), focusing on key architectural features (junctional nest variation/disarray and lentiginous proliferation), using nuclear size relative to keratinocyte nuclei (including a 1.5× threshold and counting atypical cells per high-power field) while accounting for site-specific pitfalls such as scalp nevi. The conversation also covers “gestalt” versus systematic review, the importance of due diligence using full clinical and morphologic information before ancillary testing, and cautions against overreliance on immunohistochemistry or molecular tests. Dr. Barnhill closes with career advice ends with a message that setbacks can be opportunities for growth.00:00 Welcome + Meet Dr. Raymond Barnhill (Dermatopathology Legend)01:51 Career Origins & Melanoma Pathology Mentors (Yale → Boston)03:59 Building Melanoma Pathology Study Groups (North American & International)05:57 Overdiagnosis, Diagnostic Drift & Why Discordance Happens09:43 Inside the MPATH Study: Measuring Interobserver & Intraobserver Agreement11:39 MPATH-Dx V2.0 Explained: Standardized Classes & Treatment Guidance13:59 Redefining “Low-Risk” Melanoma: Stringent pT1a Criteria + Embracing Uncertainty18:47 Practical Grading Tips: Lesion Size, Architecture & Nuclear Atypia Thresholds22:42 Gestalt vs Due Diligence: Avoiding Traps + Using IHC/Molecular Wisely (PRAME)28:39 Career Advice: Passion, Mentors, Community + Final Reflections

What does science actually say about monogamy, desire, and long-term love? Evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia joins co-host Sue Marriott to deepen our understanding of the myths and realities of modern relationships. From monogamy to consensual non-monogamy, we explore how jealousy and trust function – not as flaws – but as deeply human signals shaped by biology and attachment. Dr. Garcia breaks down how relationships shift over time, especially as we age, and why sexual satisfaction isn't just about frequency – it's about novelty, meaning, and connection. We dive into the neuroscience of intimacy, including the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and revisit the Kinsey scale to better understand the fluidity of sexual orientation. This conversation is a grounded, nuanced look at how passion evolves, and how couples can intentionally cultivate desire, curiosity, and emotional safety over the long haul. “Humans, the most intimate animal, will always live and die for love. Understanding why gives us the power to find and maintain the loves worth living for.” – Dr. Justin Garcia, a quote from The Intimate Animal Time Stamps for Why Long-Term Love Gets Complicated: A Scientific Approach with Dr. Justin Garcia (291) 00:57 Understanding social vs. sexual monogamy 04:32 The evolutionary perspective on relationships 08:26 Jealousy and relationship dynamics 20:25 Sexuality and aging: A new perspective 28:44 The power of eye gaze and oxytocin 30:30 Understanding aggression: Oxytocin and vasopressin dynamics 39:01 Exploring sexual diversity and the Kinsey scale About Our Guest – Dr. Justin Garcia Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships.

What if your dreams weren't random… but rehearsal for awakening? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with lucid dreaming teacher Mia Lux for a rich and provocative conversation about dream yoga, shadow integration, trauma healing, and preparing for death. Mia shares how her fear of death led her into lucid dreaming and how the practice became one of the most powerful tools for integrating trauma, working with PTSD, and accessing deeper layers of consciousness. Rather than dismissing dreams as meaningless, Mia invites us to see them as an accelerated path of self-inquiry. A way to work directly with the subconscious. A laboratory for transformation that requires no substances and no intermediary. Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Dream yoga and dying before you die 00:02:10 — Why we ignore one-third of our lives 00:05:20 — Shadow integration through dreaming 00:08:15 — PTSD and trauma healing 00:18:00 — Lucid dreaming vs. Hollywood fantasy 00:36:00 — Medicine work without medicine 00:48:10 — How to begin practicing 00:58:00 — Integration and closing reflections If you're curious about consciousness, healing, or what becomes possible when you stop dismissing your dreams, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insight. For Those Feeling the Call to Go Deeper The integration Mia speaks about — nervous system capacity, shadow work, sustained awareness — is the foundation of Ziva Level 3. Ziva Level 3 is for practitioners ready to embody what they practice. To move beyond peak states and into stabilized integration. Applications are now open.

Adolescence is full of firsts. Big questions about bodies, safety and choices rise to the surface. Contraception can feel intimidating for teens and complex for pediatricians. However, it's also a powerful touchpoint to shape safety, confidence and long-term health. In this episode, we're unpacking the role pediatricians play in guiding teens through reproductive care, where pediatricians can transform a potentially awkward moment into an opportunity for empowerment.    For this discussion, we're joined by Tricia Huguelet, MD. She is the section chief of the Division of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at Children's Hospital Colorado. In addition to being a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, she is the program director for the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Fellowship, and co-director of the Young Women Bleeding Disorders Program.  Some highlights from this episode include: When pediatricians should feel confident to prescribe contraception  How to handle consent and confidentiality  What methods would be best for each patient  Most common barriers to access  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Welcome, to a brand new bonus episode, my loves!From extreme historical beauty demands to clothing laws that targeted women, to the era when pants were treating like a public threat, this bonus episode uncovers the absurd systems that shaped, and still shape, women's lives.These restrictions weren't about fashion; they were about power, discipline, and keeping women in their place. These beauty "rules" weren't random; they were deliberate tools of control.What begins as curiosity quickly turns to outrage as the same patterns repeat across cultures and centuries.

In this episode of the PurrPodcast, Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn welcome Dr. Katie Tolbert from Texas A&M University for a practical and science-driven discussion on chronic pancreatitis in cats, with a strong focus on the critical role nutrition plays in long-term management. Together, they explore why chronic pancreatitis is often subtle and multifactorial, how dietary composition influences inflammation and gastrointestinal stability, and—perhaps most importantly—how treats, supplements, and small “extras” can quietly unbalance a carefully formulated therapeutic diet. Even a few treats can dilute nutrient density, disrupt macronutrient balance, and compromise clinical progress, making owner education and dietary consistency essential parts of successful case management. This episode is packed with clinical pearls for veterinarians who want to optimize nutritional strategies, improve compliance, and better understand how precision feeding can significantly impact outcomes in feline chronic pancreatitis.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

In this episode of the *Innovations and Clinical Implementation* podcast recorded at LongevityFest, hosts Tom Blue and Chris D'Adamo discuss the rapid evolution of epigenetic testing with Ryan Smith. Ryan Smith is the founder and global head of research and development at TruDiagnostic, a CLIA-certified lab and health data company that has built one of the world's largest private epigenetic databases to advance the measurement of biological aging. The discussion traces the 140% year-over-year growth in consumer interest regarding biological age and explores how TruDiagnostic utilizes AI to interpret over 1.3 million DNA methylation sites to validate longevity interventions in clinical trials. Smith previews the upcoming release of "methylation risk scores" that can predict the onset of diseases like COPD and Lyme disease, and details the development of "Epigenetic Biomarker Proxies" (EBPs) intended to eventually replace traditional labs by deriving thousands of metrics—such as HbA1c, CRP, and environmental toxins—from a single finger stick.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with the brain, specifically how it can be enhanced and how it can be damaged. There's a new study about a silent brain disease, Amyloid protein buildup in the brain being a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions, and a massive review on how to best help your brain through depression. Moving on to AI diagnostics, the latest in medical technology involves an AI system capable of interpreting MRIs in seconds, flagging strokes or hemorrhages, and drastically cutting down the time to treatment in ER settings.Then, a focus on men's cardiovascular health showing an increase in cardiovascular disease risk, starting at age 35, much earlier than women, suggesting the preventative screening needs to begin by mid-30s. Lastly, a recent scientific review as provided reassuring data for pregnant women that there is no increased-risk of autism , ADHD, or any intellectual disability in children. It's important to remember to follow dosage guidelines when it comes to acetaminophen (Tylenol).  Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Have you ever wished you had thorns? Have you ever felt like you needed to protect your heart, your space, your peace of mind, or your time from a world that asks too much of you – or takes without asking? You're not alone. This is what thorn medicine can bring you.Thorns aren't weapons, they're defenses. They don't seek an animal or human out with the intent to cause harm, they hold space and define boundaries. Touch me here, says the rose, but not there. Admire my flowers, says the motherwort, but don't you dare clutch my seeds. We can learn from this.We can take the medicine of thorns into ourselves. We can do this literally, not only (oh, “only”!) metaphorically or symbolically. Most all thorny herbs, and particularly the thorns themselves, carry a key herbal action: astringency. This is an action which literally pulls things together, and holds things together.Each plant's thorn is different, serving its own purpose. Hawthorn's long, widely spaced thorns evolved to counter the hungers of the giant sloth, and they retain that shape long after the lumbering herbivore went extinct: they are the living memory of a predator past. Ocotillo's inexhaustible rows of spines render it no more easy a prey than the cactus who share its landscape. Thistle spikes out from every possible surface, asserting itself in all directions as its firework flowers reach for the sky. Which thorns are yours?Pull yourself together. Hold your boundaries. Make a safe space.Then, within that thorn-walled refuge, your flowers will unfold.Thorn medicine is only one form of support herbs can offer our emotions. Our Neurological & Emotional Health course is a user's guide to your nerves, your emotions, and the herbs who can lift you, hold you, brace you, and sustain you. We teach holistic herbal strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

In part two of this series, Dr. Tesha Monteith and Dr. Andrew Hershey discuss appropriate treatment strategies to prevent migraines in children and adolescents. Show citation:  Hershey AD, Szperka CL, Barbanti P, et al. Fremanezumab in Children and Adolescents with Episodic Migraine. N Engl J Med. 2026;394(3):243-252. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa2504546  Show transcript:  Dr. Tesha Monteith: This is Tesha Monteith with the Neurology Minute. I'm back with Andrew Hershey, professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Division of Neurology at Cincinnati Children's and the Children's Headache Center. This is part two of our discussion on his paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, fremanezumab in Children and Adolescents with Episodic Migraine. Andrew, now that we have fremanezumab approved for prevention of episodic migraine in children and adolescents, and we have a number of other devices and treatments for patients that can be used as part of FDA-approved treatment or even off-label, can you discuss an appropriate treatment paradigm to prevent migraine? Dr. Andrew Hershey: I think the first and foremost part of the paradigm is to identify the disease, so recognition that headaches are a component of the disease migraine, so you have headaches attacks due to migraine is an essential part. Many of the children, adolescents and their families are unaware that that is even what they're having, and clarifying the etiology actually goes a long way. One of my former mentors, Dr. Prensky, always said that 50% of kids get better from just seeing a child neurologist, and I think it's that clarification of the diagnosis. Second to that, you need to provide a very adequate acute treatment as well as what's probably even more essential than anything else is healthy lifestyle habits. So regular eating, drinking, sleeping, and exercise. And then finally, if the headache is causing severe disability or frequent headaches or interfering with the child's school, home or social life, the prevention medications may need to be added. And this is where the fremanezumab, or if you prefer devices, devices can be used for both the acute and preventive treatment. Dr. Tesha Monteith: Well, thank you for the summary, and congratulations again on your paper. Dr. Andrew Hershey: Thank you. Dr. Tesha Monteith: Do check out the full podcast for more details about the paper and treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. This is Tesha Monteith. Thank you for listening to the Neurology Minute.

In this episode Andrea Samadi revisits Season 15's foundation with Dr. Bruce Perry to explore how safety, regulation, and patterned experience shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. We examine why potential must be activated through repetition, rhythm, and low-threat environments, and how trauma, stress, or dysregulation block learning. Takeaways include practical steps for educators, parents, and leaders: prioritize nervous-system safety before instruction, use micro-repetition to build skills, and employ storytelling to make scientific ideas stick. This episode anchors Phase 1 of the season: regulation, rhythm, repetition, and relational safety as the prerequisites for sustainable performance and lasting change. This week, Episode 385—based on our review of Episode 168 recorded in October 2021—we explore: ✔ 1. Genetic Potential vs. Developed Capacity We are born with extraordinary biological potential. But experience determines which neural systems become functional. The brain builds what it repeatedly uses. ✔ 2. The Brain Is Use-Dependent Language, emotional regulation, leadership skills, motor precision— all are wired through patterned, rhythmic repetition. ✔ 3. Trauma, Regulation & Learning A dysregulated nervous system cannot efficiently learn. Safety, rhythm, and relational connection come before strategy. ✔ 4. “What Happened to You?” vs. “What's Wrong with You?” Shifting from judgment to curiosity changes how we approach: Children Students Teams Ourselves ✔ 5. Early Experience Shapes Long-Term Expression Developmental inputs—especially patterned, early ones— determine which capacities are strengthened. ✔ 6. Repetition Builds Confidence Confidence is not a personality trait. It is neural circuitry built through structured repetition in safe environments. ✔ 7. Story Makes Science Stick From Dr. Perry's experience writing with Oprah: You can't tell everybody everything you know. Impact comes from: One core idea Wrapped in story Delivered with restraint ✔ 8. Information Overload Weakens Learning Depth > Volume Clarity > Density Retention > Impressive Data ✔ 9. Regulation Comes Before Motivation Before goals. Before performance. Before achievement. The nervous system must feel safe. ✔ 10. Season 15's Foundational Question Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. If you've been with us through Season 14, you may have felt something shift. That season wasn't about collecting ideas. It was about integrating these ideas into our daily life, as we launched our review of past episodes. Across conversations on neuroscience, social and emotional learning, sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, and mindset frameworks—we heard from voices like Bob Proctor, José Silva, Dr. Church, Dr. John Medina, and others—one thing became clear: These aren't separate tools that we are covering in each episode. They're parts of one operating system. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now we move into Season 15 that is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. So Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384 — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Last week we began with Phase One: Regulation and Safety as we revisited Dr. Baland Jalal's interview from June 2022. EP 384 — Dr. Baland Jalal[i] Dr. Baland Jalal This episode sits at the foundation of Season 15. Dr. Baland Jalal is a Harvard neuroscientist whose work explores how sleep, imagination, and curiosity shape the brain's capacity to learn and create. What stood out to me then — and even more now — is that learning doesn't begin with effort. It begins when the brain is rested, regulated, and free to explore possibility. This conversation reminds us that creativity isn't added later — it's built into the brain when conditions are right. It's here we remember that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible— the brain must feel safe. And what better place to begin with safety and the brain, than with Dr. Bruce Perry, who we met October of 2021 on EP 168.[ii] EP 385 — Dr. Bruce Perry Dr. Bruce Perry (Episode 168 – October 2021) Dr. Bruce Perry, Senior Fellow of the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, joined the podcast to help us better understand how traumatic experiences shape the developing brain. At the time, I was deeply concerned about the generational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In one of Dr. Perry's trainings, he referenced research conducted after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which showed that families exposed to prolonged stress experienced increased rates of substance abuse — not only in those directly affected, but in the next generation as well. As I began hearing reports of rising depression, anxiety, and substance use during the pandemic, I wondered: What could we do now to reduce the long-term neurological and emotional impact on our children, our schools, and future generations? Dr. Perry agreed to come on the show to share insights from his work and to discuss his book, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey: What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience and Healing.[iii] Dr. Bruce Perry challenges one of the most common questions we ask in education, leadership, and parenting. Instead of asking, “What's wrong with you?” he asks, “What happened to you?” In this conversation, we explored how early experiences shape the brain, how trauma disrupts regulation, and why healing begins with rhythm, safety, and connection. You can find a link to our full interview in the resource section in the show notes. This episode anchors Season 15 by reminding us: a dysregulated brain cannot learn — no matter how good the strategy. Let's go to our first clip with Dr. Bruce Perry, and look deeper at how we are all born with potential, but our experience builds the rest.

Hosts' note: We're re-airing this 2022 episode with Dr. Jon Allen, one of our earliest, because it is such a good companion to last month's episode on therapeutic relationships. For those who want a deeper dive into the dynamic of building trust with patients and its role in the therapeutic process, this is worth a listen, whether it's your first hearing or a return to the discussion. Thank you!The analysis of the patient is an expected part of therapy, but clinicians may forget that this dynamic creates an equal analysis of the doctor by the patient. Rather than a process of therapy, the two-way street of trust is an ideal outcome of a relationship between patient and clinician that must be nourished. Some argue that this is, by far, the most important fundamental element in a successful therapeutic approach. On this episode of Mind Dive podcast, Dr. Jon Allen brings attention to the functions of trust in a therapeutic relationship, noting something often neglected in psychotherapy literature. Dr. Allen, author of Trusting in Psychotherapy, previously served for 40 years as a senior staff psychologist at The Menninger Clinic, and currently holds a position as a clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine. Dive into this episode alongside hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland as they explore how clinicians can better nurture therapeutic relationships built on trust to support the overall quality of mental health care for their patients.“Think about the quality of the relationship as the fundamental, impactful aspect of psychotherapy,” said Dr. Allen, “Trust is not a common factor that's been studied, but I think of trust as the superordinate common factor.” Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Bipin Subedi, MD, explores how health systems can better care for patients with severe mental illness who cycle between hospitals, homelessness, addiction, and the justice system. He argues that acute inpatient treatment, while essential, is rarely sufficient on its own. Preventing the revolving door of repeated hospitalizations requires psychiatry to extend beyond hospital walls and build integrated systems that follow patients into the community.Drawing on his leadership at NYU Bellevue and his background in forensic psychiatry, Dr. Subedi describes a model of care built on sustained relationships, flexibility, and continuity. He reflects on how programs like transitional housing and mobile post-discharge support can provide the “scaffolding” patients need when insight and executive function are impaired by psychosis. The conversation closes with practical guidance on strengthening medication adherence—particularly through thoughtful use of long-acting injectables—and on meeting patients where they are to advance more humane, effective care.Bipin Subedi, MD, is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Chief of Psychiatry at NYU Bellevue Hospital. He is a forensic psychiatrist with prior leadership experience in New York City's jail system.▶️ Watch Insights on Psychiatry on YouTube01:36 Bellevue's Mission and Rising Clinical Complexity04:43 Extending Care Beyond the Hospital Walls05:15 Bridge to Home and Transitional Stabilization10:44 Forensic Psychiatry and the Justice System14:17 Psychosis and Impaired Insight15:53 Post-Discharge Scaffolding and Critical Time Intervention18:47 Preventing Relapse with Long-Acting Injectables22:36 Meeting Patients Where They AreThis episode is intended for psychiatrists, mental health clinicians, and health system leaders interested in serious mental illness and innovative models of integrated community care.This discussion is for educational purposes and does not substitute for individual clinical judgment or patient care.

You're doing all the right things—showing up to the gym, getting your steps in, strength training—but that scale? Still not moving. Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to eat to support your workouts without sabotaging your weight loss goals—and without overthinking it. No sports nutrition degree required, I promise. I've seen too many patients work incredibly hard in the gym only to undo their progress at the kitchen table. Exercise is powerful, but nutrition determines whether that exercise actually works for weight loss. And once you understand a few simple principles about pre- and post-workout nutrition, everything clicks into place. Learn why exercise alone doesn't guarantee weight loss, which common myths are holding you back, and how to fuel strategically for recovery and results.   Sign up for the Back on Track: Setting the Vision for your health Masterclass:  https://drshellymd.kit.com/ecc62a0638   Episode Highlights: Why exercise is powerful but nutrition determines whether it works for weight loss The truth about eating before and after workouts  Pre-workout fuel: when you need it, when you don't, and what actually works Post-workout recovery: protein targets, hydration basics, and avoiding the "reward" trap Special considerations for insulin resistance, PCOS, perimenopause, and GLP-1 users How to match your food to your workout type and intensity   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start 2 March 2026. → You can find all the details here →     Transformation shouldn't only be heavy, painful or vulnerable (if it is you're missing half of the key ingredients).    Many of us treat our bodies as the sum of our hurts. And when we're healed enough, whole enough, THEN we can feel good.    This approach is noble - but it misses the fact that you don't have to be "fully healed" BEFORE you become an alive, pleasure-filled human.    In fact healing is NOT the fastest path to feeling more radiantly alive, most of the time.    Today on our limited series podcast we're talking about aliveness, pleasure & how we can raise the ceiling on how good we (& our clients) can feel when we stop 'fixing' and start cultivating pleasure as power.    This episode is drawn directly from frameworks & teachings in our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - which is kicking off 2nd March with a special Orientation Week.    If you're loving the podcast so far let's chat about the coaching cert & if it's the right fit for you.  Learn more here

Dr. Frank Peacock and Dr. Damon R. Kuehl join BioTalk for a focused discussion on one of emergency medicine's most persistent challenges: accurately diagnosing and predicting outcomes in mild traumatic brain injury. As Scientific Advisory Board members for BrainBox Solutions, Inc., they walk through what happens when a patient presents to the emergency department after a fall or sports injury and why current tools, including CT scans, often leave clinicians without clear answers. The conversation explores the gap between a "normal" scan and ongoing symptoms, and what missed or uncertain diagnoses can mean for patients weeks later.   Dr. Peacock outlines the HeadSMART II study and explains why combining blood biomarkers with neurocognitive testing provides a more complete assessment than biology alone. Dr. Kuehl discusses how multi-modal data, integrated through artificial intelligence, can generate an objective score to support real-time clinical decision-making and help identify patients at risk for persistent symptoms. The episode also highlights BrainBox's leadership, including CEO Donna Edmonds, a member of the BioHealth Innovation Board of Directors, and the company's role in advancing objective mTBI testing.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com).   Dr. W.

Join Michelle and Zoe for an incredibly honest and powerful conversation with Danny Aduakwa (aka Danny Tries Things) as he shares his journey from performance-driven faith to discovering what it truly means to be loved by God as a son, not for what you do, but for who you are. This episode unpacks the weight of growing up as a first-generation British child in a Ghanaian household, the pressure of perfection, the cost of conditional love, and the radical freedom found in being God's beloved. Danny opens up about growing up as the only Christian under 18 he knew, navigating a rule-based faith, the shock of discovering a thriving Christian community at university, and the crushing anxiety that came from tying his identity to academic and vocational success. From failing medical school twice to qualifying as a doctor while battling crippling anxiety, Danny's story is raw, relatable, and deeply encouraging. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they have to earn love, who struggles with anxiety and perfectionism, or who is learning to play, rest, and be loved by God without performing. Danny's journey from doctor to content creator is ultimately a testimony of grace, freedom, and the joy of living from belovedness rather than obligation.

Is frequency healing magic or is it science? Delve into this well-dialogued understanding of frequency healing with Dr. Quantum, Dr. Kelli Confer of Confer Chiropractic as she shares her frequency healing methodology on THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Diana. In a world where traditional medicine often overlooks the subtle energies that influence our health, frequency healing - as utilized by Dr. Confer with the Genius Insight app  which uses voice resonancy and auric field photography -- emerges as a revolutionary approach. In this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST, host Diana Marcketta welcomes Dr. Confer, who shares how frequencies can transform our healing journeys. (Check out THE SOULFAM LIFE blog/newsletter on Substack for more insight and detail on Diana's frequency treatments (all paid by the client herself) ...https://substack.com/@thesoulfampodca...) Dr. Confer introduces the concept, also supported in theory by Nikola Tesla and Dr. Royal Rife, explaining that it is rooted in the understanding that every system in our body carries its unique frequency. We are electro-magnetic beings in an electrical universe. Dr. Confer shares her deep understanding of frequency, its ability to heal and treat a myriad of diseases, conditions, symptoms and overall well-being physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Dr. Confer turned to frequency healing initially to help support patients whose symptoms would not budge with traditional medicine nor with chiropractic care. She also attended to clients' whose challenges were often not heard and not seen...those who might have deeper trauma such as sexual trauma which evolved later as a medical or physical issues. Frequency healing treats the body as an entire system...holistic...not just a symptom. While allopathic medicine relies upon symptom recognition and symptom treatment, frequency medicine treats both the underlying problem and the overall symptoms. Diana reveals her own experience when visiting Dr. Confer eight-nine months after the LA fires of 2025. At the time, THE SOULFAM PODCAST lived in close proximity to the Pacific Palisades and to the Calabasas Landfill where fire debris (https://www.nytimes.com/issue/magazin...) was dumped without proper environmental protection. Frequency tests showed a high degree of asbestos and parasites in her system as well as high degrees of stress. A month-long treatment (weekly analysis with updated frequencies each week) with Dr. Confer reduced those issues and addressed other related issues. A three-month treatment is typically suggested with additional treatments on as needed basis following. As the body begins to heal, frequencies are updated to reflect the body's current status on all systems...emotional, physical, mental and emotional. Dr. Confer is a rural doctor practicing in a small town yet treats hundreds of patients online through the Genius Insight app for frequency healing.

A study of two groups of 70-year-olds found that branched-chain amino acids combined with exercise improve physical function and quality of life. Exercise alone did not.

In this return conversation, Mark Gober opens up about one of the most intense and transformative experiences of his life: a guided ibogaine journey that forced him into direct confrontation with the roots of identity, self-judgment, and inherited fear. What unfolds is not psychedelic glamour or mystical escapism, but a brutal, compassionate reckoning with the architecture of the psyche — from parts work and suppressed rage to ancestral trauma and the meaning of real self-love. Mark describes communing with an intelligence that seemed to know him better than he knew himself, dismantling old narratives while demanding embodiment, responsibility, and integration. This is a raw exploration of what happens when insight becomes unavoidable, when healing moves through the body, and when love arrives in the form of truth.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser (00:34) Opening Conversation (04:37) Understanding Ibogaine and Its Effects (06:25) The Healing Power of Ibogaine (25:24) The Definition of Self-Love That Was Revealed (33:35) Intergenerational Healing (40:51) Reverence vs. Worship: Understanding the Difference (42:43) Yerasimos' Ayahuasca Experience (46:27) The Role of the Medicine in Personal Development (52:54) The Supplemental Dose: Processing Emotions and Ancestral Trauma (01:00:30) Integration and the Challenges of Returning to Normal Life (01:03:09) The Relationship Between Self-Betrayal and Self-Love (01:15:20) The Importance of Intent and Reverence in Medicine Work (01:22:28) Surrender and Trust: Lessons from the Divine Realm (01:27:25) Setting Intentions and Personal Reflections (01:30:09) The Impact of Social Media and Technology (01:40:37) Voluntarism and Political Philosophy (01:43:49) Personal Growth and SpiritualityGuest Linkshttps://www.markgober.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

I am excited to welcome Dr. Jayne Morgan as my guest today. She is a cardiologist and the Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart, specializing in women's health and cardiovascular research. In our conversation, we look at the gaps in clinicians' training around perimenopause and menopause, also discussing gender neutral training, and how men and women are treated differently in the medical system. Dr. Morgan shares her preferred areas of focus when educating middle-aged women about hormone replacement therapy and clusters of diagnoses, which include diabetes, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and weight-loss resistance. We examine how myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) tend to manifest differently in women, often with microvascular disease, atypical chest pain, and less obvious symptom patterns. We also explore screening recommendations, such as EKGs, Lp(a) assessments, and mammography for microcalcifications, which might indicate an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. This fun and lively conversation with Dr. Morgan offers valuable, practical insights into women's heart health. I look forward to recording future podcast episodes with her.
