Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Elisa Port, a talented breast surgeon with a passion for helping women better understand breast cancer, breast health, and the science behind screening, diagnosis, and treatment. She's the chief of breast surgery for Mount Sinai Health System in New York, a professor of surgery at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, and the author of The Breast Advice. In our conversation, we explore breast cancer risk factors, various screening mechanisms and their impact on dense breasts, and the role of diagnosis and pathology, including DCIS. We also discuss menopause symptom management, anti-hormone and targeted treatments, immunotherapy, de-escalation, and why a personalized approach to breast cancer treatment is so important.  Stay tuned for a truly informative conversation with Dr. Port. With her infectious optimism, she has a wonderful way of translating the science and the research in her book, making it accessible and putting the statistics into context so the information feels far less scary than it otherwise might.

Are Impossible Burgers and fake meats worse for you than a steak or hamburger? Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to examine one of today's biggest nutrition debates. A veggie burger and a beef burger may both be classified as processed, but does that make them nutritionally equal? What about plant milk versus dairy milk, packaged cereal versus bacon and eggs, or a protein bar versus a cheeseburger? Dr. Barnard explains what "ultra-processed" actually means, why certain foods can encourage overeating, and whether the widely used NOVA classification system paints with too broad a brush. He also explores why saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, calorie density, and a food's source may matter just as much as—or more than—the number of ingredients on its label.

Cyclospora cases continue to climb in the U.S. but this isn't the first time we've had a multi-state outbreak linked to produce. Back in 1996, there was a major cyclospora outbreak across several states due to imported raspberries. It begs the question, have we learned anything from the past? Or are we repeating history all over again? This week hosts Chris Dall and Dr. Michael Osterholm focus on the cyclosporiasis outbreak, from the latest numbers, to how state and federal officials, as well as the media, have handled it all. They'll break down the latest epidemiologic data and discuss how this response compares to a multi-state outbreak in 1996. Dr. Osterholm also talks about the latest on Ebola in the DRC, the measles outbreaks across the U.S. and a potential uptick in COVID-19 cases.   Links:An Outbreak in 1996 of Cyclosporiasis Associated with Imported Raspberries (The New England Journal of Medicine) When People Got Sick: Cyclospora Outbreak, July 2026 (CDC) The Cyclospora outbreak was, and still is, a communications failure (CIDRAP)  Resources for vaccine and public health advocacy: Voices for Vaccines Families Fighting Flu Vaccinate Your Family Shot@Life Medical Reserve Corps Learn more about the Vaccine Integrity Project MORE EPISODES       SUPPORT THIS PODCAST   Music: "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

Why don't more doctors talk about death? Dr. Lydia Dugdale has been asking this question since she was a medical student. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine and directs the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and two books on how we die, including "The Lost Art of Dying." "Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality," she says. Not only unpracticed, but even themselves afraid. In this bonus clip from Episode 232 with Macie Bridge, Dugdale traces the path from that early perplexity on the wards to the ars moriendi, the medieval art of dying, grounded in the idea that dying is part of living, so if you want to die well you have to live well. Lydia comments on the emergence of palliative care and the way it let physicians hand conversations about death to specialists; the doctor who inherited the priest's old place at the threshold between life and death; the death anxiety clinicians carry without examining; virtue as preparation for dying, and community as the other half of living well; the unrepresented patients of New York City who die alone; and a grumpy old man, hospitalized for 20 years, who wept when she read aloud what she had written about him. Episode Highlights “Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality.” “we are really the intermediaries between life and death, I'm not saying we're priests, but that used to be the role of the priest. And so it is now the role of the physician. “If you want to die well, you have to live well.” We have to be all in or we end up like all of these patients here in New York City who have no one that I can reach out to as they're dying. “He started weeping and he said, someone finally saw me. Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.” About Lydia Dugdale Lydia Dugdale is a physician and medical ethicist who has spent fifteen years asking why medicine finds death so hard to talk about. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia, directs the Columbia Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and co-directs clinical ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Milstein Hospital, where she still sees patients. She edited "Dying in the Twenty-First Century" and wrote "The Lost Art of Dying," a modern ars moriendi. She trained at the University of Chicago and Yale-New Haven Hospital, holds a master's in ethics from Yale Divinity School, and in 2025 founded the nonprofit Heal the Nation.

Huxley is an example of having a good attitude about publicly acknowledging errors and learning from them. He earned the nickname “Darwin’s bulldog” for his very vocal support of Darwin’s work, and he wanted to promote science and education, particularly to people that didn’t normally have access to those things.

Medicine today often prioritizes efficiency, profits, and policies, but Catholic healthcare was founded on a very different mission: to continue the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. Gomer and Dave speak with Ryan Conklin of CHRISTUS Health about what makes Catholic healthcare unique, why healing is more than curing, and how Catholic hospitals can remain faithful to their mission in an increasingly secular world. If you've ever wondered what truly sets Catholic healthcare apart, this episode is for you. We want to hear from you!

You have not heard it all, contrary to the American colloquialism "Now...I've heard it all." I've seen many professionals trade in their shingle for the wine trade. Attorneys, eye doctors, MDs, and others. Most of the time they are seeking the lifestyle that is purported to belong to winemaking. For sure, this type of career move will test your resolve; many find out that it wasn't and isn't what they were seeking. Enter Dr. Jan Krupp, a celebrated Internist who got the calling. Can you imagine? Solid career, solid practice, helping others all tossed to the side of the road to enter the wine trade. But when he was told that his most desired property was virtually useless for wine grapes, he jumped at the opportunity- yes, jumped at the opportunity. This adventure would become the famed Stagecoach Vineyards....and turn into a multi-million dollar sale to Gallo. Trading a stethoscope for a shovel is not your everyday midlife crisis, but Dr. Jan Krupp makes it sound as natural as coaxing vines from volcanic rock. In this episode, you're invited into the world of a physician who took the road less traveled—straight up an unplantable Napa hillside—to plant the seeds of what would become the famed Stagecoach Vineyard. You'll discover how Dr. Jan Krupp applied scientific precision and creative drive to transform barren land into one of California's most celebrated grape sources, all while welding together risk, relentless work, and a bit of luck in the kiln of family partnership. Listen as he peels back the layers of his own journey—from home winemaking in a garage to collaborating with legendary consultants and top winemakers, each step a blend of experimentation and vision. You'll gain an inside look at his new book, Forging Eden, an exploration not just of Napa terroir, but of personal transformation and resilience. Along the way, Dr. Jan Krupp and Paul Kalemkiarian reveal the untold challenges that come with creating a world-class vineyard, wrestle with the shifting tides of Napa's hospitality and wine tourism, and debate the future of authentic winemaking in the age of crown caps and experiential brands.

A tiny molecule produced inside your body may play a major role in how well you circulate blood, manage inflammation, exercise, and age. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D., Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bryan Therapeutics, Inc., who explains nitric oxide's role in blood-vessel function, tissue oxygenation, inflammation, metabolism, and cellular energy, and shares his view on everyday habits that can affect the body's natural production. He also discusses the oral microbiome, dietary considerations, lifestyle practices, consumer education, and the research-based standards he believes people should use when evaluating nitric oxide-related products. Key Takeaways:→ Nitric oxide helps regulate blood flow, oxygen delivery, inflammation, metabolism, and cellular signaling. → Oral-care habits may affect the oral microbiome, which helps metabolize dietary nitrate.→ Green vegetables and beets may contain dietary nitrate.→ Product claims should be supported by scientific and clinical data. → Lifestyle habits influence nitric oxide production. Dr. Nathan S. Bryan earned his undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin and his doctoral degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport, where he was the recipient of the Dean's Award for Excellence in Research. He pursued his postdoctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine's Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. After a two-year post-doctoral fellowship, in 2006, Dr. Bryan was recruited to join the faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston by Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology. Dr. Bryan has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 25 years and has made many seminal discoveries in the field, has dozens of issued patents, and has published more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles in some of the top science and medical journals. Dr. Bryan is a best-selling author and successful entrepreneur who has built a billion-dollar enterprise value portfolio of companies. Dr. Bryan is one of the most successful inventors and top revenue producers in the history of the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston. He is currently the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Bryan Therapeutics, Inc., a privately held, clinical-stage biotechnology company actively engaged in the discovery and development of nitric oxide-based therapies. BTI has active drug development programs in heart disease, Alzheimers' Disease, and topical drugs for diabetic ulcers and non-healing wounds.

For decades, Americans have been told that cholesterol is public enemy number one. But cardiologist and heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia says we've been fighting the wrong battle. Despite decades of lowering cholesterol with drugs and dietary advice, heart disease remains the #1 killer in America—and Dr. Ovadia believes it's time to rethink what's really making us sick. After losing more than 100 pounds by adopting a diet centered primarily on meat, Dr. Ovadia began challenging conventional wisdom about cholesterol, nutrition, and metabolic health. Mike sits down with the bestselling author of Stay Off My Operating Table to discuss why he believes insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction—not cholesterol—are driving the epidemic of heart disease. They also dive into his new book, Stay Off My Kitchen Table, available today, and explore why his message has become one of the most talked-about—and controversial—in modern medicine.

Puberty doesn't always follow the expected timeline. What happens when it shows up ahead of schedule? For pediatricians, the early appearance of breast development, pubic hair or accelerated growth can trigger a cascade of questions. Is this a normal variant? Should we investigate further? When is it time to refer? In this episode, we unpack the complexities of precocious puberty and explore how timely identification and thoughtful management can make a lasting difference for kids and their families.  To create clarity, we are joined by Stephanie Hsu, MD, PhD, and Clare Parker, MD. Dr. Hsu specializes in endocrinology here at Children's Hospital Colorado and is an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Parker is a pediatric endocrinology fellow. Some highlights from this episode include: The differences in early puberty between boys and girls  Environmental impacts that can lead to misleading results  Signs and symptoms pediatricians can look out for  Treatment options and their severity  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode of The Drive, Peter explores how seemingly obscure basic science discoveries have laid the foundation for some of the most important medical breakthroughs of the past half century. Rather than focusing on the clinical applications of modern therapies, he traces the fascinating stories behind the scientists, experiments, and unexpected discoveries that ultimately led to transformative drug classes, revealing how groundbreaking advances often emerge from research with no obvious clinical goal. Through these historical case studies, Peter provides a new perspective on the unpredictable path of medical innovation and makes the case for why investing in basic scientific research remains essential for driving the next generation of life-changing therapies. We discuss: The discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP): how curiosity about glowing jellyfish transformed modern biology [2:30]; Why basic research and nature's biological innovations are the foundation of medical progress [10:45]; The discovery of statins: how fungi provided the blueprint for cholesterol-lowering drugs [15:15]; From snake venom to ACE inhibitors: the discovery of a cornerstone therapy for cardiovascular disease [21:00]; From Yellowstone hot springs to PCR: how Thermus aquaticus transformed modern biology and medicine [28:00]; The discovery of CRISPR: from salt flats to gene editing and genetic medicine [37:15]; The discovery of GLP-1 receptor agonists: from Gila monster venom to a new era in metabolic medicine [47:30]; Why curiosity-driven basic research is essential for the future of medical innovation [54:15]; and More.

Contributor; Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: A 2026 survey asked Canadian emergency medicine (EM) physicians about their eating and drinking habits while on shift. Among 527 respondents, 35% reported that they never or hardly ever ate during shifts, and 37% said the same about drinking water Lack of time was the most commonly cited barrier, reported by 91% of respondents Lack of available food, personal health goals, perceived mental clarity, and emergency department culture were also commonly identified factors Physicians who did not eat or drink on shift often reported that this negatively affected their work Years in practice were associated with eating more often while on shift, suggesting that newer physicians may be less likely to eat during shifts A 2023 study by Kontrick et al. found that 89% of US-based EM residency programs did not have a dedicated meal break, which may help explain why early-career physicians are less accustomed to eating during clinical shifts. Studies outside of emergency medicine have also suggested that inadequate food and fluid intake can affect fatigue, mood, attention, and cognitive performance, though direct evidence in emergency department physicians and patient care remains limited. Future studies could examine whether physician eating and drinking habits during shifts are associated with patient outcomes and broaden the scope of this study to other emergency department providers, nurses, and technicians.

Several years ago, in 2016, we told a story about Amy Pearl. For as long as she could remember, Amy loved meat in all its glorious cuts and marbled flavors. And then one day, for seemingly no reason, her body wouldn't tolerate it.  No steaks. No brisket. No weenies. It made no sense: why couldn't she eat something that she had routinely enjoyed for decades?  It turned out Amy was not alone. And the answer to her mysterious allergy involved maps, a dancing lone star tick, and a very particular sugar called Alpha Gal.  In this update, we discover that our troubles with Alpha Gal go way beyond food. We go to NYU Langone Health hospital to see the second ever transplant of a kidney from a pig into a human, talk to some people at Revivicor, the company that bred the pig in question, and go back to Amy to find out what she thinks about this brave new world.

Contemporary Western fire science is integrating what Indigenous Peoples discovered over thousands of years of observation, and trial and error: fire is key to optimizing forest vitality and biodiversity. The merging of these two ways of knowing could signal the end to our misguided policy of fire suppression at all costs, and the beginning of an era of building fire-resilient communities with a new relationship to one of nature's most elemental and fearful forces. With fire ecologists Chad Hanson and Frank Kanawha Lake. This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series. Visit the ⁠radio and podcast homepage⁠ to learn more.

A child's future begins long before the first words, first steps or even the first smile. In the span of just 1,000 days, billions of neural connections are formed, and the foundation for lifelong health, learning, and resilience quietly takes shape. Pediatricians understand the critical nature of early development, and they translate that message to parents, helping guide, nurture, recognize risk and shape outcomes that can last decades.   To explore this fascinating time in a child's life, we are joined by two experts. Caroline Dias, MD, PhD, and Annie Helms, MD, both specialize in developmental and behavioral pediatrics here at Children's Hospital Colorado and are assistant professors at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Helms also leads the BLOSSOM Clinic at Children's Colorado.  Some highlights from this episode include: How small things can have the biggest impact in these 1000 days  The importance of supportive caregivers  The balance of nature versus nurture  Easing parent's minds that they aren't "doing enough"  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.      

Time for a horrid history lesson.   Daniell Giles is the author of medieval gothic Mere (2025), and the brand-new Restoration horror-show, Gentle Things.

One of the characteristics of life is that living organisms gather information and put it to use. Even one of the simplest lifeforms, bacteria, are able to sense features of their surroundings and alter their behavior accordingly. Most impressively, they are able to sense the presence of similar bacteria by a process called quorum sensing. Today's guest, Bonnie Bassler, is a leader in this field, and explains how quorum sensing allows groups of bacteria to do things (including in our bodies) that wouldn't be possible for individual bacteria.

Every day we encounter the stimuli of our lives. Events and people. And we have feelings about most all of it. Some good, some bad, some fairly neutral, but we are processing everything through how we make meaning of things. Some of us have negative emotions about certain things that don't serve us. After 15 years as an elite cyclist I came to equate negative emotions to rain, as I associated rain with riding in it or riding indoors to stay out of it. I held this negative emotions for many years after I retired, for no real reason. From a habit of speeding and rolling stop signs I grew in myself, negative emotions toward cops who frequently pulled me over. Now, even when I'm obeying the traffic laws, I experience a negative emotion when I see a cop. These negative emotions, I created. And now I've retained even after the circumstances have changed. Analogies to question the emotions we hold from past experiences that may not be serving us today. My guest in this episode Dr. Julia DiGangi.

KJ breaks down how Lotus AI pulls your entire medical history from every clinic and hospital you've ever visited in minutes, unifies it with your wearables and genetic data, and makes it available to both a conversational AI and a network of real licensed physicians who can diagnose you, prescribe treatment, and refer you to a specialist in under two minutes at any hour of the day. We also touch on why hospitals are quietly selling your health data to pharma, how the business model works when the product is free, and why KJ believes the AI-powered general doctor is not just possible but already happening. KJ Dhaliwal is the founder and CEO of Lotus AI. Before Lotus, he co-founded the largest South Asian dating app, which he grew and sold. At Lotus AI, his mission is to collapse the cost of healthcare delivery while making world-class primary care free and permanently accessible to every American. Download the Lotus AI app here.

For two decades, a perplexing illness has been spreading: After a lone-star tick bite, people find themselves with a severe allergic reaction to red meat. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 people in the U.S. may be affected with alpha-gal syndrome, up from just a few dozen documented cases in 2009. New research finds that in some states, more than 30% of people are positive for alpha-gal antibodies—but not all of them have the syndrome. Flora speaks with allergist Scott Commins, who has studied alpha-gal syndrome for nearly 20 years, to unpack this finding and next frontiers for treatment. Guest: Dr. Scott Commins is the William J. Yount Distinguished Professor of Medicine and associate chief for allergy and immunology at the UNC School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Instead Of A Vaccine For Lyme, How About A Vaccine For Ticks?
