EP. 213: In this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I'm joined by one of the world's leading experts on peptides and cellular medicine, Dr. William Seeds. Dr. Seeds is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and the founder of the Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute. He's also hosting the upcoming Peptide World Congress this June 2025 in Las Vegas, where I'm honored to be speaking on the main stage! Together, we dive into a conversation that goes far beyond the basics of GLP-1s. We explore how these peptides can support not just weight loss, but also behavior change, neuroplasticity, and metabolic function. Dr. Seeds shares fresh insights into how GLP-1s affect the brain, why they must be paired with strength training, and the dangers of overreliance or overdosing. Topics Discussed: What are the benefits of GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss? How do GLP-1s like Ozempic affect neuroplasticity and behavior change? Why is strength training essential when using GLP-1 peptides for fat loss? Can you customize GLP-1 dosing based on patient sensitivity and metabolism? What are the risks of overusing or overdosing GLP-1 medications like Ozempic? Sponsored By: Sundays | As a Listener of The Dr Tyna Show, you can Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by her good friend Dr Rupy Aujla, a medical doctor, nutritionist, and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen for a deep dive into his new book, Healthy High Protein. Together, they explore how our relationship with food evolves over time, and why protein and fibre play a far more essential role in our health than many of us realise. Dr Rupy shares how inflammation acts like your body's ‘internal campfire', providing warmth and protection when in balance, but becoming harmful if it burns too intensely. Whilst working as a newly qualified junior doctor, Dr Rupy faced a life-changing health scare when he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that prompted him to reassess his lifestyle and approach to nutrition. Although diet is not a standalone treatment, the conversation between the experts emphasises the meaningful role diet can play in supporting overall health and restoring balance. Additionally, Dr Rupy shares practical tips on becoming a “good guesstimator” of your protein needs at each meal, along with three simple questions to ask yourself daily to support overall wellbeing.

Social Determinants of Health, or SDOH, are a buzzword these days—but often little more. We acknowledge their importance, but actual progress on capture (and subsequent patient support) has been slow. To be fair real barriers including technological limitations and limited financial incentives stand in the way. But my current guest understands better than most the major role SDOH play in patient health. He and his organization have developed a digital tool to facilitate capture and improve the lives of patients in their community. They're making a difference. Dr. Pablo Buitron de la Vega is Assistant Professor of Medicine, Medical Director, Preventive Medicine Residency, and Clinician Lead for the THRIVE Social Determinants of Health Program at Boston Medical Center / Boston University School of Medicine. A native of Ecuador, he's made SDOH his mission. On this show we cover: Dr. de la Vega's long journey from Ecuador to U.S. physician, the obstacles he overcame, and how the experience shaped his mission as a provider Defining SDOH and common examples in his line of work as a Boston physician Basics of capture in ICD-10 and what makes SDOH difficult to collect Boston Medical Center's SDOH capture tool, THRIVE: What it does, tangible benefits, and how your organization can get access Low-tech strategies for SDOH capture you can implement today Dr. de la Vega's National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to develop a triage tool to help address patients' unmet social needs
Food is as powerful as any medicine, according to a leading cardiologist. Dr. Columbus Batiste tells his patients to eat the food that their great grandparents would eat. In essence, for health reasons it is critical that we eat food that will decay and break down rather than stand the test of time.

In many indigenous communities across the world, people have long honoured menstruation as a sacred time. Today we're lucky to be exploring the beauty and wisdom of the ancestral moontime medicine of the Andean people, and our guest is Dr Cynthia Ingar, who is an anthropologist and Andean keeper of Woman Medicine wisdom living in the Sacred Valley in Peru. In her late twenties, Cynthia was guided by a mentor to do thirteen traditional Andean moontime retreats where she was in silence and eating a special diet for four days and four nights while she menstruated.Cynthia has dedicated her life to teaching a woman-centered approach to women's health, to traditional midwifery and to revitalizing Andean Woman Medicine including menstrual cycle and the Andean Moontime traditional practices. In this rich, magical conversation, we explore how her moontime retreats prepared her to live her calling, both as a keeper of this Woman Medicine and as a mother to her children. We explore:How we travel to the ‘Ukupacha' when we bleed, which is the realm related to the Feminine, where we perceive life differently, experience altered states of consciousness, and receive insights and wisdom.How Cynthia works with the ancestral Andean practice of praying with her menstrual blood, as an offering to Pachamama, to mother earth. What she has learned from grandmother mentors about how they worked with the ancient menstrual practices to give them inspiration and guidance in their work as the keepers of ceremony and the rituals of life for the community. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast, host Karan Cushman engages in a thought-provoking discussion with two pioneers in AI-driven oncology: Dr. Douglas Flora and Dr. Sanjay Juneja. Together, they explore how AI is revolutionizing cancer care, from earlier detection and faster diagnoses to personalized treatments and clinical trial optimization.AI's potential in oncology is game-changing. Dr. Flora and Dr. Juneja break down how AI is helping to identify cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages, automate biomarker testing, and streamline clinical trials to match patients with the best therapies faster than ever before. AI is not just a futuristic concept—it is already helping oncologists reduce misdiagnoses, improve screening accuracy, and speed up treatment approvals, all of which could significantly improve patient outcomes.But if AI is so transformative, why isn't it more widely used? Adoption remains one of the biggest hurdles, with challenges ranging from regulatory barriers and insurance limitations to the slow integration of AI into clinical practice. Karan challenges her guests to explain what needs to change for AI-driven precision medicine to reach more patients—sooner rather than later.With her patient-first perspective, Karan ensures the conversation stays focused on what these advancements mean for real people. Looking ahead to 2030, the discussion explores what a fully AI-integrated oncology system could look like—and why the revolution in cancer care isn't coming—it's already here.Dr. Douglas Flora is the Executive Medical Director of Oncology Services at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and Dr. Sanjay Juneja is a hematologist-oncologist, social media educator, and VP of Clinical AI Operations at Tempus AI. Both guests are co-founders of Tensor Black, an education and consulting company specializing in AI applications in oncology.

Dr. Matthew Nagra is a doctor naturopathic medicine, a staunch believer in the benefits of a vegan diet, and a defender of scientific integrity. A brief scan of Dr. Nagra's Instagram page will tell you he is dedicated to sharing helpful nutritional information that is back by science. In the process, he has found himself fighting back against the mountains of nutritional misinformation (and disinformation) that is shared every day on social media.This episode was recorded almost 5 years ago, in the early days of COVID lockdown. It was somehow lost shortly after recording but I was luck enough to recover it very recently. I was impressed by the fact that the discussion we had about nutrition, veganism, and making decisions based on science was all still very relevant 5 years later. So I decided it was still worth sharing it.Connect with Dr. Nagra:Instagram.com/dr.matthewnagraConnect with Harbir:Instagram.com/harbirsian.odWatch on YouTube:youtube.com/harbirsianodLove the show?

In this episode, Dr. Max Jordan Nguemeni, a general internal medicine physician and health policy advocate, joins to discuss the growing wave of physician unionization. Dr. Nguemeni shares his experiences leading union efforts among residents and the challenges they face, from misinformation campaigns to structural barriers within hospitals. We also explore the generational divide among physicians on unionization, the role of social media in fostering communities, and how advocacy can address inequities in healthcare. Takeaways: Unionization among residents is gaining momentum across the U.S., with recent large-scale efforts in cities like Boston and Philadelphia. Barriers to unionizing include misinformation, resistance from hospital administration, and the transient nature of residency programs. Generational divides in medicine impact attitudes toward unionization, with younger doctors more focused on systemic change and work-life balance. Social media plays a critical role in building communities and sharing information about healthcare reform and advocacy efforts. Unionized residents are advocating for benefits like fair pay, fertility preservation, and better working conditions, setting the stage for systemic change in medicine. — Want to Learn About Dr. Max Jordan Nguemeni: X: @MaxJordan_N Bluesky: @MaxJordan.bsky.social, IG: @Game.Set.Max — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The Vital Veda Podcast: Ayurveda | Holistic Health | Cosmic and Natural Law
“There is no curable disease in the universe which has cannot be effectively cured by śilājatu, [but only] when administered at the appropriate time, in combination with suitable herbs and by adopting the prescribed protocol”.~ Caraka Samhitā, authoritative classical Ayurveda textI'm Dylan Smith, an Ayurveda practitioner and educator, and in case you have not heard of Shilajit, it is one of Ayurveda's most revered herbal substances.This potent, mineral-rich resin sourced from rocky mountains is rapidly gaining popularity in Western supplement markets for its purported energising and rejuvenating effects. In this episode, we aim to disrupt the growing fad of shilajit as a dietary supplement in wellness communities.We'll challenge the notion that shilajit—prized in Ayurveda for its potent healing properties—can be casually consumed. Much of what's sold is adulterated or harvested improperly, and often lacks proper purification. We'll explore essential Ayurvedic principles like correct dosage, the right vehicle (anupāna), and a tailored diet (pathya) to balance shilajit's intense qualities and ensure safety and efficacy. When these elements are neglected, shilajit's benefits can be lost—or even become harmful—underscoring the need for proper guidance in its use.My guests include Dr. Sumit Kesarkar, who has spent over two decades harvesting shilajit indigenously across Asia, and the renowned Raju family of Ayurvedic doctors: Vaidya J.R. Raju, Vaidya Pavani Raju, and Vaidya Harsha Raju. Together, we'll offer practical insights on sourcing authenticity, safe usage, and time-tested ways to honour shilajit's role as a powerful rasayana.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Dr. Laurie Marbas, a board-certified physician in both family and lifestyle medicine, initially trained in a traditional medical setting before her practice and perspective evolved toward integrating plant-based nutrition into her medical approach. Her journey toward plant-based medicine began serendipitously after a patient in Rifle, Colorado, shared remarkable health improvements following dietary changes. Intrigued by her patient's experience with eliminating meat and dairy, Dr. Marbas began researching plant-based diets, eventually encountering The China Study, a pivotal moment that deepened her commitment to using diet as a preventive measure in healthcare. Impact of Plant-Based Diet on Chronic Illness Dr. Marbas shares compelling stories from her practice, including patients with serious autoimmune conditions like lupus. She describes the transformative impact of plant-based diets, exemplified by a lupus patient who saw significant health improvements, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, and a notable decrease in medication dependence. For Dr. Marbas, the results in her patients reinforced the power of nutrition, convincing her to adopt a fully plant-based approach in both her personal and professional life. Implementing Plant-Based Programs in Hospitals In collaboration with colleagues and plant-based chefs, Dr. Marbas implemented a study in Colorado's Grand River Hospital to test the effects of plant-based meals on hospital employees. Over 30 days, the program yielded promising results, including weight loss and a decrease in pre-diabetic conditions. This experience highlighted the potential for plant-based interventions within healthcare settings, extending beyond patient care to improve employee wellness. Founding of the Plantrition Project and Plant-Based Telehealth A visionary in plant-based medicine, Dr. Marbas co-founded Plant-Based Telehealth, a virtual medical service focused on plant-based health and wellness. After a successful start, Plant-Based Telehealth was sold to Whole Foods founder John Mackey in 2022. Dr. Marbas' involvement in the Plantrition Project, an organization dedicated to educating healthcare professionals on plant-based nutrition, further solidified her commitment to expanding the reach of nutrition-based preventive medicine.

This interview was SO INSPIRING! Dr. Khan's message was one of hope and engagement, through a powerful lens of equity and justice. Dr. Khan and I met as part of this lovely exploration of the book, The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron, with a group for women in health care called Introspective Spaces. She had so many beautiful insights throughout our time together, and I loved the essays she wrote about her family from Pakistan and El Salvador, and her dedication to her role in health care.Dr. Amna Khan is an outpatient pediatrician at Santa Clara Valley Health and a clinical associate professor (affiliated) at Stanford University School of Medicine. Working within California's second-largest public safety net hospital, she serves a diverse urban population of nearly 2 million constituents, dedicating her career to addressing health inequities and their intergenerational impacts on vulnerable children and families.Dr. Khan's Key Initiatives* She co-leads Pedi POWER (Pediatricians Working and Organizing to End Racism)* She has created The People's Pediatrician website and health equity newsletter* She is continuously developing innovative interventions to challenge systemic racism in medicineDr. Khan on her cultural identity:"I wanted patient families to see me for who I really am at my core, not a half, but a double of the identities I feel so privileged to call my own."On her family background:"I grew up in a household that was rich in diversity of cultural practices, religions, languages, food... The example that they set was one of tremendous love and compassion, and also that humans are much more similar than they are different."On pediatrics:"Every child is a seed. And if you give a child the proper soil, and if you do that from the beginning consistently, the tremendous amount of potential that you can garner is something that none of us even believe."On representation in medicine:“Not only are you welcome, but you are desperately needed and we want your gifts. We want the challenges that you've experienced in coming from immigrant families... because that is the type of clinical workforce that we need."Her message to future healthcare providers:"Medicine is so lucky to have you... All those things that you thought maybe set you apart or gave you a disadvantage... is actually a tremendous advantage. And it allows you to connect with families."Resources Mentioned- The People's Pediatrician website- Pedi POWER initiatives- Introspective Spaces program for women in health care- The Artist's Way with Introspective Spaces (book by Julia Cameron)Dr. Khan completed her medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) in 2009 and her Pediatrics residency at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford University in 2012. As a graduate of the UCSF post-baccalaureate program designed to support historically excluded minorities in medicine, she remains committed to mentoring and teaching future healthcare professionals specifically from those communities to increase diversity and representation in clinical workforce.Dr. Khan in Instagram: @thepeoplespediatrician and LinkedInDr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd and LinkedInAlso check out Dr. Reid's regular contributions to Psychology Today: Think Like a Shrink.Thanks for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast and reading A Mind of Her Own!

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alexandra MacKillop, a former food scientist turned functional medicine doctor, to explore her fascinating journey from the world of nutrition science to a more holistic, whole-body approach to health. Dr. MacKillop shares the pivotal moments that led her to question the practices in the food industry and transition into functional medicine, where she now helps individuals achieve better health through personalized care and lifestyle changes. We discuss the major flaws she saw in food science, including the lack of real health benefits in many processed foods and the influence of corporate funding on research. Dr. MacKillop also explains why certain ingredients in our food offer “zero benefits” and the importance of supporting the body with proper nutrition. We dive into topics like birth control's classification as a carcinogen, how to navigate food additives and artificial ingredients, and how to avoid getting caught up in health trends and fear-mongering.
