Podcasts about Medicine

This Flashback Friday and 10th show is from episode 340, published last Sep 25, 2013. Renowned author, physiologist, evolutionary biologist and bio geographer, Dr. Jared Diamond, joins Jason Hartman for a discussion of his newest book, The World Until Yesterday. Dr. Diamond's unique background has shaped his integrated version of human history. He posits that success – and failure – depends on how well societies adapt to their changing environment. Dr. Diamond is also a medical researcher and professor of physiology at the UCLA School of Medicine. His book "Guns, Germs and Steel" won a Pulitzer Prize and "The Third Chimpanzee" was a best-selling award winner. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, Professor Diamond is a MacArthur Fellow who has published over 200 articles in Discover, Natural History, Nature and Geo magazines. In his books Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse (and the popular PBS and National Geographic documentaries they inspired), big-picture scholar Jared Diamond explores civilizations and why they all seem to fall. Now in his latest book, The World Until Yesterday, Diamond examines the traditional societies of New Guinea -- and discovers that modern civilization is only our latest solution to survival.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

This week Dr. Nadine Choueiter of Mount Sinai hosts a special episode of Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today in which we speak with emeritus Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto, Dr. Brian McCrindle about his career and life. How did he develop a love of pediatric cardiology? Who were some of his early mentors? How did he develop the international Kawasaki Disease Registry and how has he cultivated it despite minimal funding? How did he develop an interest in preventive cardiology? How can a young person make their clinical work also their academic work? Dr. McCrindle also shares some insights into navigating a successful life as well as retirement. This is a rare opportunity to be inspired by one of the great pediatric cardovascular researchers of the past 3 decades.

When a patient is going through an allergic flare, we focus on making the pet comfortable which is absolutely reasonable! However, we have to think of the prevention of future flares and frustration for that case. It is important for us to adjust our mindset once relief has been established and think of the long-term plan for that pet. Each plan can be unique depending on the case presentation, client's goals, etc. Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast where I discuss shifting to this mindset with ease including a recent cat case I had to go through a treatment adjustment.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro02:21 A common scenario that I see at the clinic06:43 Laying the foundation down for the pet to succeed11:16 Cat case with really bad pyoderma13:12 Considering allergy testing15:01 Outro

White noise has a very precise technical definition, but people use the term loosely, to describe all sorts of washes of sound—synthetic hums, or natural sounds like a rainstorm or crashing waves—that can be used to mask other sounds. Twenty years ago, if you'd told someone white noise was a regular part of your life, they would have found that unusual. Nowadays, it's likely they use it themselves or know someone who does. The global white noise business is valued at $1.3 billion; TikTok is full of people trumpeting its powers; and Spotify users alone listen to three million hours of it daily. Far more of these sounds already exist than any one person could need—or use. And yet, more keep coming.  Looking out at this uncanny ocean of seemingly indistinguishable noises, we wanted to see if it was possible to put a human face on it; to understand why there is so much of it, and what motivates the people trying to soothe our desperate ears with sounds you're not really supposed to hear. In this episode, you'll hear from Elan Ullendorff, who writes the illuminating Substack Escape the Algorithm; Stéphane Pigeon, founder of myNoise; Brandon Reed, who runs Dwellspring; and Mack Haygood, author of Hush: Media and Sonic Self-Control and host of the podcast Phantom Power. We'd also like to thank Dan Berlau, Sarah Anderson, and Ashley Carman.  This episode was written by Katie Shepherd, Evan Chung, and Willa Paskin. It was produced by Katie Shepherd.

Victoria Jackson is a beauty industry pioneer whose billion-dollar brand helped define the “no-makeup makeup” movement — but her most powerful pivot came far beyond the world of cosmetics. In this episode, Victoria shares how building her business from her garage was just the beginning of a life shaped by resilience, reinvention, and purpose. When her daughter was diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening disease, Victoria left her company behind and stepped into the unknown, founding the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation and ultimately funding groundbreaking medical research that led to the first FDA-approved treatments. Now at 70, she’s returning to beauty with a renewed mission and product line, reimagining beauty for women who, like her, are still evolving. Be sure to subscribe, leave us a rating, and share with your friends if you liked this episode!

Discovering the Reality of GodJoin us on a journey from doubt to devotion with Dr. James B. Polson.James Polson was once a skeptic who believed that God, heaven, and hell did not likely exist outside of his imagination. He was satisfied with his views until he was involved in a car accident that forced the realization that death can occur at any time. Was he wrong about heaven and hell? If they really existed, where would he be? While these complex questions remained in the back of his mind, Polson embarked on a quest to discover any truth about the existence of God, heaven, and hell.Dr. Polson studied biomedical sciences and earned a PhD in pharmacology, he taught and conducted research at the University of South Florida, College of Medicine, and earned an MA in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. You can reach Dr. James at his website https://www.jamesbpolson.com

Host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes Dr. Jonathan Weinkle, for an in-depth discussion centered around his insightful book, ‘Illness to Exodus'. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of the Passover Seder, Dr. Weinkle has developed an innovative Healing Seder, a ritual designed to cultivate compassion and infuse a renewed sense of purpose into the daily lives of healthcare providers. Leveraging his deep Jewish heritage and his extensive experience teaching courses such as Death and the Healthcare Professions, he delves into the transformative potential of simple rituals, such as performing a morning Kiddush over a cup of coffee, which can elevate routine tasks into profoundly meaningful acts. This episode masterfully weaves together themes of faith, compelling storytelling, and actionable advice, providing physicians with valuable tools to rediscover their calling and maintain a purposeful approach to their practice, even amidst the monotony of repetitive patient care.Three Actionable Takeaways:Adopt a Daily Ritual – Use a morning Kiddush or similar practice (e.g., over coffee) to start your day with purpose and resilience.Embrace Patient Narratives – Listen to patients' unique stories, like a Seder tale, to reignite curiosity and care in repetitive care settings.Navigate Faith Conflicts with Empathy – Engage with patients' religious views openly to find common ground and tailor effective care plans.About the Show:PGD Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Anemia is one of the most overlooked yet impactful conditions affecting energy, mood, cognition, and hormone balance. In this episode, we unpack the many root causes of anemia beyond just low iron—including micronutrient deficiencies, MTHFR mutations, lack of intrinsic factor, and the impacts of vegetarian or low-protein diets. We explore the difference between microcytic and macrocytic anemia and how to interpret key markers on an iron panel, including ferritin, transferrin saturation, and total iron-binding capacity. You'll also learn about the important connections between thyroid function and iron status, the role of hormones like estrogen and cortisol, and how symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, or irregular cycles may trace back to suboptimal iron levels. Whether you're dealing with diagnosed anemia or suspect you're trending low, this episode will help you understand how to restore balance from a functional, root-cause perspective.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a fourth time: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, published writer and author, content creator and podcaster, Physician and Radiologist turned activist, Founder of the Angel Coalition and Co-Founder of Women and Children First and the Babushka Brigade, Star Fort enthusiast, award winner of the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award, and absolute inspiration: Dr. Juliette EngelIf you're new here, missed Juliette's last few episodes, or need a refresher, here's a brief synopsis of her life and a little bit about what we will be talking about today: A survivor of the CIA's sinister MK ULTRA program, Juliette has emerged as a beacon of hope, dedicating her life to rescuing the vulnerable and exposing the hidden scourge of human trafficking. Her humanitarian work in Moscow, where she founded the Angel Coalition, stands as a monument to her courage and unwavering commitment to healing a broken world.Born in 1949 into a family entangled with OSS, CIA, and NSA operatives, Juliette's childhood was stolen at age six when she was sold into MK ULTRA and MONARCH mind control programs. Subjected to relentless physical and psychological torture, including trauma-based mind control and “Sex Magick”, her early years were designed to fracture her mind and silence her spirit. Yet, at seventeen, driven by an indomitable will to survive, she escaped - barefoot, with no memories of her childhood - and forged a new path. Through sheer determination, she put herself through college and medical school, becoming a respected radiologist and physician. In 1990, Juliette's life took a transformative turn when she sold her successful Seattle practice to establish the MiraMed Institute in Moscow, aiming to reform maternal and infant healthcare in post-Soviet Russia. What began as a mission to improve medical care for orphaned children unveiled a horrifying truth: state institutions were complicit in an international network trafficking young Russian girls to Scandinavia for prostitution. This discovery, echoing the control and exploitation of her own past, ignited a fire within her. She could not turn away. This is what we will be discussing on today's show.With boundless empathy, Juliette founded the Angel Coalition in 1999, an underground railroad that became a lifeline for trafficking victims. Over a decade, her network of villagers, educators, police, media, and government officials rescued tens of thousands of children and women, guiding them to safety across the former USSR. Her memoir, Angels Over Moscow, vividly recounts her perilous journeys through remote villages, her deep bonds with Russian colleagues, and her heartbreak over lives lost - like Zhenya, a spirited girl who haunts her memory. Juliette's work also led to co-founding Women and Children First, a training center for orphanage staff, and the Babushka Brigade, a nationwide support program for single mothers, weaving a tapestry of care across Russia.Juliette's MK ULTRA past gave her a unique lens to recognize the mechanisms of control in trafficking networks - systems that thrive on breaking spirits, much like the programming she endured. Her advocacy exposed the collusion of global powers, including the U.S., in perpetuating this modern slavery, challenging the silence that once bound her. In 2013, her extraordinary efforts earned her the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award.Despite personal risks and the resurfacing of her own traumatic memories, JSupport the show

Ozempic is one of the most import new medications in a generation. The scientist who created it is a self-described "nerd," who grew up on a farm in Denmark and has no interest in the limelight. Lotte Knudsen started her career working on laundry detergent enzymes, but eventually joined a team at the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk that was tasked with looking for new treatments for diabetes. She was convinced that a recently discovered human hormone called GLP-1 could be made into a powerful medication, not only for Type 2 diabetes, but also for weight loss. It took 20 years of hard work and persistence for her and her team to figure it out, but their creation now shows promise as a worthy foe of heart disease, kidney disease, Parkinson's, alcoholism & Alzheimer's as well. In this episode Lotte Knudsen tells her story, and we hear from two of the other scientists who made critical contributions to this revolution in medicine: Mads Thomsen and Daniel Drucker.

Young men wanting to be muscle influencers but using performance enhancement drugs say they are suffering from “bigorexia” or muscle dysmorphia.  Is social media to blame?    According to a recent study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, there have been 420 million views of videos on Tik Tok pushing steroids to teens.   Some experts say that trend is creating young men to develop "bigorexia," or muscle dysmorphia. Senior anchor for News on Merit Street investigates on how easy it is for teens to order illegal performance enhancement drugs online. Ryan says he was able to get these drugs online when he started bodybuilding to follow in his father, Shawn's, footsteps.  He started posting his journey online and developed a huge following.  At just 16 years old, Ryan says his muscle gains plateaued.  So he found another way to get to superhero status until he went blind.  Plus, we meet Colton who says he's using steroids now and looking to launch himself to internet stardom at whatever cost. But his fiancée Alex says she wants Colton to stop using steroids because it turns him into an angry person full of rage.  And Callum Hood, head researcher at the Center for Countering Digital Hate, tells Dr. Phil about the study he led focusing on how Tik Tok videos promote steroid-like drugs.   And Dr. Thomas O'Connor is a board-certified doctor of internal medicine and professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He's also known as the “Anabolic Doc” who knows firsthand what it's like to be addicted to performance enhancement drugs.    Subscribe | Rate | Review | Share: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3H3lJ8n/ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4jVk6rX/ Spotify: https://bit.ly/4n6PCVZ/ Thank you to our sponsors: Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/drphil/ and use promo code PHIL to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!
