Around 25 years ago, Ardem Patapoutian set out to investigate the fundamental biology behind our sense of touch. Through a long process of gene elimination, he identified a class of sensors in the cell membrane that turn physical pressure into an electrical signal. He changed the game in the field of sensation and perception, and in 2021 shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work.  He joined Host Flora Lichtman in November 2025 to talk about his research, the odd jobs he worked along the way, and how he found a sense of belonging in science. Guests: Dr. Ardem Patapoutian is a professor and the Presidential Endowed Chair in Neurobiology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.

Hey Heal Squad! If you've been confused, overwhelmed, or just a little skeptical about everything you're hearing about GLP-1 medications right now, ya might want to listen to this one! Today Maria sits down with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford. She is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and one of fewer than 15 physicians in the entire country who has completed more than one year of fellowship training specifically in obesity medicine. Maria first met Dr. Fatima at a Patriots game in Boston, and what struck her wasn't just the credentials,  it was how differently she talked about weight, the human body, and the people she treats. Literally, this became a true eye-opening science conversation about the GLP-1 space. Dr. Fatima breaks down what a GLP-1 actually is, why fat is literally an organ in the body, how our brains regulate weight through specific biological pathways, and why genetics, circadian rhythm, trauma, and environment all play a role in why some people's bodies hold onto weight no matter what they do. Then the conversation took a turn that genuinely surprised us. Dr. Fatima reveals that GLP-1 receptors exist throughout the entire body (not just in the gut, like most of us think!). which is why these medications are already being approved for conditions far beyond weight loss. Take a listen, it's a great conversation before you form any opinion. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS GLP-1s Are Not a Trend — They're a 20-Year Story: Dr. Fatima explains why they've been in development and clinical use for over two decades, and why the reason we're hearing about them now comes down to one thing — potency. The science didn't change. The strength finally caught up. Obesity Is a Disease, Not a Decision: One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when Dr. Fatima dismantles the idea that weight is simply about discipline. From genetics and brain signaling to circadian rhythm disruption and weight-promoting medications, she lays out the real biology behind why people carry excess weight. Your Body Is Fighting Back — On Purpose: Physical activity helps you maintain your weight, but it does not help you drop it. She explains exactly why the body defends its set point and what it actually takes to change it.

In this episode, we use the recent SAGES guidelines to tackle one of the most common and controversial questions in general surgery. Through a case-based discussion, our experts review the evidence for intraoperative biliary imaging, discuss strategies for difficult anatomy, and compare IOC with other imaging modalities. Join us as we translate the latest recommendations into practical lessons that can be applied in the operating room.Take Home Points:  Routine IOC is supported; however, this remains a conditional recommendation that should be individualized based on anatomy, surgeon experience, and available resources. Use a selective approach to IOC in special populations, including pediatric and pregnant patients, where risks and benefits may differ. Alternative imaging modalities including ICG fluorescence and laparoscopic ultrasound have complementary roles.  Routine IOC may help maintain surgeon and team proficiency, and trainees should learn both IOC performance and interpretation  Hosts:  Jason Bingham, MD – General and Bariatric Surgeon  Nicole L.

Hey hey beautiful human! Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to show up for yourself when you feel like you are doing it alone? You can have the workout plan. You can know what to eat. You can have the best intentions. But when life gets heavy, motivation drops, shame creeps in, or you fall out of rhythm, doing everything by yourself can make the whole thing feel ten times harder. And that is what we are talking about today: community. Not the surface-level kind where you scroll through other people's posts and feel like you are "connected." I mean real community. The kind where you are seen, supported, encouraged, reminded that you are not the only one struggling, and welcomed back when you have had a hard week. What's Discussed: Why consistency feels so much harder when you are doing everything by yourself How a fitness community can help you feel seen, encouraged, and supported through real life Why the women who stay consistent long-term usually have people around them How community can calm your stress response and make showing up feel more sustainable Why scrolling fitness content is not the same as actually being connected How the Movement With Julie community has helped women keep going when they wanted to quit Where to start looking for your people, even if finding community feels awkward at first If you have been trying to build consistency by doing everything alone, this episode is your reminder that you may not need more pressure. You may need more people. The right community can help you feel less alone, less ashamed, and more willing to keep showing up through real life. If you loved this episode, you'll also love Episode 633: How To Fall Back In Love With Your Everyday Life. It pairs perfectly with this conversation because real connection is one of the things that helps your everyday life feel fuller, more supported, and easier to be present for.

Pancreatic cancer is among the most deadly forms of cancer, and it can be difficult to catch early. But there's some good news: Clinical trials of a new drug called daraxonrasib found that it doubled the survival time of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. And some oncologists are calling it a game changer—not just for pancreatic cancer, but potentially other forms of cancer too. Ira talks with oncologist Zev Wainberg, who led a clinical trial for the drug.  Plus, ALS is a degenerative disease that causes patients to lose their ability to walk, swallow and eventually to breathe. Now, there's a drug for a rare genetic form of ALS that can slow the progression or even reverse some of these symptoms. Ira talks with New York Times health and science reporter Pam Belluck about this new treatment. Guests: Dr. Zev Wainberg is a co-director of UCLA Health's GI Oncology Program. Pam Belluck is a health and science reporter for The New York Times.

She explores how genuine human connection helps regulate the nervous system, why disconnection can keep us stuck in fight-or-flight, and how our phones often give us a synthetic version of connection that never fully satisfies. Julie also discuss oxytocin, stress, loneliness, addiction, psychedelics, and the simple ways we can return to the real relationships and embodied experiences that help us heal.

The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively overprescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from — yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse Kennedy announced a multiagency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one

A new peer-reviewed study of nationwide German data finds suspected adverse-event reports for COVID-19 vaccines were sharply elevated in the earliest weeks of rollout, then fell suddenly. The authors call it a possible batch-dependent safety signal. Danish physician Dr. Vibeke Manniche, the study's lead author and the only Danish doctor to speak out publicly against lockdowns from the start, joins to break down the findings. Published in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, the analysis covers the first three and a half years of Germany's vaccination campaign. For one product, early-rollout reporting rates were roughly 80 times higher than the rates seen just weeks later. Dr. Manniche also makes the case for why the US could learn from Denmark's childhood vaccine schedule. Filmmaker Michael Pack, president of Palladium Pictures, discusses their new WSJ Opinion documentary “The Lockdown Dissidents.” Director Rand Courtney speaks on “La Lucha: Getting Schooled in America,” which follows five teens through poverty, trauma, and a broken school system. Dr. Drew is featured in the film. Dr. Vibeke Manniche, MD, PhD, is a Danish physician and author of 35 books on children, family, sleep, and medicine. With 34 years of medical practice, she has worked in epidemiology across rare diseases and public health. She was the only Danish doctor to speak publicly against COVID lockdowns from the outset.

Most clinical research treats patients like data points. What gets lost when researchers stop listening to the people they study, and what does it cost the science itself? Niharika Singh is a biomedical engineer and pre-medical student with research experience at Genentech, Abbott, AstraZeneca, and the Keck School of Medicine, and a global ambassador with the United Nations SURGhub. She discusses the KevinMD article "Patient involvement transforms modern clinical research." You will hear the difference between treating a patient as a data set, engaging them as a collaborator, and inviting their emotional and lived experience into the study design. She walks through the Tiger Project hernia training across India and Ghana, what medical device design verification taught her about surgical research, and why AI in medicine is making patient voice harder to hear. You will hear a research methodology that treats the patient's voice as data worth collecting, and a case for defending human connection as AI changes how medicine is practiced.

This week we review a recent meta-analysis of studies assessing efficacy of adenosine in children to terminate SVT. Does the PALS recommendation of 100 mcg/kg as a starting dose for SVT management make scientific sense given what we know about the efficacy rates of this dose? Why might inadequate doses be potentially dangerous for children with acute SVT? Is there adequate data to consider changes to the recommended starting dose in this situation? Dose adenosine work well for all forms of tachycardia involving the AV node? Pediatric emergency physician and family medicine physician, Dr. Lais dos Santos of Mossoro', Brazil shares the results of a large scale meta-analysis that she performed and offers some answers to these and other questions. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-026-04281-5

Your body has been talking to you your whole life. The question is whether anyone ever taught you to listen. In this episode, I want to widen the lens on how you read your own body. We have lost so much of the generational knowledge our mothers and grandmothers once passed down, and now we tend to wait until something hurts before we pay attention. But your body speaks in subtleties long before that. I share one of my great loves, Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system I studied for three years, and its practice of observation called the eightfold examination. What fascinates me most is how closely it aligns with modern functional nutrition's Nutrition Focused Physical Exam. We walk through what your tongue, skin, hair, nails, and eyes may be reflecting about your gut health, your nutrient status, your oxidative stress, and even your blood sugar, backed by research going back nearly 80 years. Here is what matters most. This is not about self-diagnosis. None of these signs are proof of anything on their own. They are invitations to pay attention, not verdicts to fear. My hope is that noticing your body builds confidence instead of anxiety, the quiet confidence of a woman in a loving conversation with her body rather than at war with it. If you take one small thing from this episode, try this. Tomorrow morning, look at your tongue and just notice. Do it for a week. That is the practice.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Here is the link to the FREE Ayurveda Mini-Course that I talked about in this episode: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/mybody   Here are the references: Foundational Asif T, Mohiuddin A, Hasan B, Pauly RR.

Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Coronary Artery Calcification: Insights from a 2-Year Trial: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a two-year randomized clinical trial in JAMA Cardiology from Maastricht University Medical Center reporting that daily vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7) at 360 mcg slowed progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in 180 patients with confirmed atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and baseline CAC 50–400 Agatston units. Compared with placebo, consistent MK-7 use was associated with 29% lower CAC progression and 42% less arterial calcium mass progression, though CAC still increased in both groups; stenosis increases were numerically lower with MK-7 but not statistically significant. Leyla notes many participants were on statins and were smokers, highlighting that statins can raise CAC by stabilizing soft plaque via calcification. The trial suggests MK-7 may slow calcification in newer plaques, may improve arterial elasticity via matrix GLA protein activation, is inexpensive and safe, but clinical event reduction remains unproven; Leyla suggests considering MK-7 (possibly 360 mcg) with vitamin D, magnesium, and dietary measures.

Healthcare providers and patients often feel frustrated, burned out, and powerless... but what if they're not actually fighting each other? In this episode, I sit down with returning guest Jordan Grumet, MD, hospice physician, author, and host of the Earn & Invest podcast, to discuss his new book, The Healthcare Heist. Jordan argues that many of the challenges facing healthcare today aren't caused by clinicians or patients, but by third-party entities whose incentives often conflict with both. We discuss the "culpability myth" that has led clinicians to become scapegoats for systemic problems, the rise of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, private equity, and electronic medical records, and how these forces have contributed to what Jordan calls the "intimacy gap" between providers and patients as well as rising healthcare costs. Most importantly, we explore how clinicians and patients can work together to rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and advocate for meaningful change. In this episode, you'll learn:• What the culpability myth is and how it impacts healthcare providers• How third-party interests influence patient care• Why healthcare costs continue to rise• The unintended consequences of electronic medical records• What the intimacy gap is and why it matters• How shared storytelling can help clinicians and patients become allies again• Why financial independence and career optionality may give clinicians more freedom to advocate for change Whether you're a physician associate, physician, nurse practitioner, nurse, therapist, other healthcare team member, or patient, this conversation will challenge the way you think about healthcare and who is really responsible for the problems facing the system today.

This episode is part of our comprehensive Decipher the Guidelines Series covering the 2025 ACC/AHA/ACEP/NAEMSP/SCAI Guideline for the Management of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes.  The following question refers to Section 5.2.1 of the 2025 ACS Guidelines. The question is asked by Thomas Jefferson medical student and CardioNerds Academy Intern Dr. Grace Qiu, answered first by Henry Ford Interventional cardiology fellow and member of the CardioNerds Interventional Cardiology Council Dr. Li Pang, and then by expert faculty Dr. Michelle O'Donoghue. Dr. O'Donoghue is a cardiologist, senior investigator with the TIMI Study Group, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School who holds the McGillycuddy-Logue Endowed Chair in Cardiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She was the Vice Chair of the Writing Committee for the 2025 ACS Guidelines. Question #2 A 63-year-old woman presented to the emergency room for chest pain. She described having exertional chest pain for the past two months and had an episode of severe pain after dinner 3 days ago. She went to bed and slept it off.  She told her children today at a family gathering, and was immediately brought to the ED by her daughter. She has a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. She was asymptomatic and normotensive in the ED. Labs show a down-trending troponin and an elevated NT-proBNP but are otherwise unremarkable. Her ECG showed Q waves with ST elevation in V2-V4. She was treated with aspirin and heparin drip, and taken to the cath lab. Coronary angiogram showed complete proximal LAD occlusion with right-to-left collaterals, without significant residual disease elsewhere. She remains asymptomatic and is stable, both hemodynamically and electrically. What is the next best step with regard to reperfusion and anti-thrombotic management? A Proceed with primary PCI to LAD  B Medical management with aspirin and enoxaparin  C Medical management with aspirin and clopidogrel D Medical management with aspirin and ticagrelor   Answer #2 Explanation  The Correct answer is D In patients who are stable with STEMI and have a totally occluded infarct-related artery >24 hours after symptom onset and are without evidence of ongoing ischemia, acute severe HF, or life-threatening arrhythmia, PPCI should not be performed due to lack of benefit. (Class 3, LOE B-R) The benefit of PPCI begins to diminish after >12 hours from symptom onset, but there appears to be continued benefit through approximately 24 hours.  In stable asymptomatic patients with an occluded artery >48 hours after symptom onset, routine PCI has not been shown to be beneficial in the absence of ongoing ischemia. The relative utility of routine PCI for asymptomatic patients with STEMI between 24 and 48 hours from symptom onset is less rigorously tested. PCI is not recommended for an occluded infarct-related artery if the patient is asymptomatic and has a completed infarct. MACE outcomes were similar in those with an occluded infarct-related artery who underwent medical therapy versus those who underwent PCI 3 to 28 days after an MI (Occluded Artery Trial [OAT]), and results were no different at 7-year follow-up. Similar findings were noted in the DECOPI (Desobstruction Coronaire en Post-Infarctus) trial, which enrolled patients with an occluded artery and Q waves on the ECG presenting 2 to 15 days after symptom onset. However, coronary revascularization should be considered for patients with late presentations with continued signs and symptoms of ischemia, including cardiogenic shock, acute severe HF, persistent angina, and life-threatening arrhythmias.  Main Takeaway In patients who are stable with STEMI who have a totally occluded infarct-related artery >24 hours after symptom onset and are without evidence of ongoing ischemia, acute severe HF, or life-threatening arrhythmia, PPCI should not be performed due to lack of benefit. Guideline Loc. Section 5.2.1

Sometimes, you are so consumed by caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, that taking a moment for yourself feels like a betrayal. In this episode, host Gabe Howard and Dr. C. Alec Pollard reveal the hidden crisis of caregiver burnout in the world of serious mental illness. They dismantle the myth that self-care is selfish, showing how neglecting your own needs can worsen stress and strain the very relationships you cherish.   Dr. Pollard dives into the toxic beliefs that trap caregivers—those who support individuals with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other severe conditions—into a cycle of resentment and exhaustion. With breakthrough strategies and compassionate advice, this episode offers a wake-up call for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the relentless demands of caregiving. Learn how nurturing yourself not only protects your well-being but also empowers you to care more effectively for your loved one. “If you can do no good, at least do no harm. A lot of the, the things that families don't understand and caregivers is that they're actually doing things that not only they know it doesn't work okay. When they're doing these things, these naggings and lectures and all that, they know it's not working. But what they may not appreciate is it's actually making things worse over time.” ~C. Alec Pollard, PhD Our guest, C. Alec Pollard, Ph.D., is Founding Director of the Center for OCD and Anxiety-Related Disorders at Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute and Professor Emeritus of Family and Community Medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, founder and CEO of Xlear, Inc.

Nathan Jones, founder and CEO of Xlear, Inc., reveals xylitol's role in supporting oral and nasal “gateway” microbiomes by selectively starving acid-producing Strep mutans rather than indiscriminately killing bacteria, and warns that harsh mouthwashes can disrupt beneficial oral bacteria linked to nitric oxide production and possibly blood pressure. Jones outlines Spry and Xlear products (gum, mints, toothpaste, mouthwash, dry-mouth “Rain,” and upcoming gummy candies, a new dental probiotic with added nutrients, and a direct-to-consumer oral bacteria test kit with pre/post tracking). He discusses diet, emphasizing sugar as a key driver of cavities and criticizing limited focus on sugar in a Surgeon General oral health report. In part two, Jones describes ongoing and planned legal actions against the FTC over shifting evidentiary standards and reputational damage, then reviews Xlear's allergy and respiratory approach via nasal hygiene, product tiers (regular, Max with quercetin, Rescue botanicals, and a decongestant), and a forthcoming ectoine-based spray to support mucus barrier integrity.

Dr. Capozzi is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with specialty training in joint replacement surgery. After receiving his bachelor's degree from Columbia University, he obtained his medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He completed his orthopedic training at Mount Sinai and the Otto Alfrank Adult Joint Reconstructive Fellowship at the New England Baptist Hospital in Boston. In addition to performing hip and knee replacements, Dr. Capozzi specializes in difficult revision surgery, utilizing the newest techniques in joint reconstructive surgery.   Part 1 This presentation is about tenets of high reliability organizations involving modes of communication errors and communication training. When looking at studies of large organizations that perform complex and dangerous tasks, a couple of principles stand out that have some common themes. One is that the work tends to be highly technical and inherently dangerous. Very often there are high time constraints and time pressures that entail rushing to complete work in very tight environments, which sounds like any of our operating rooms or ICUs. At some point, most of these entities are going to fail spectacularly. The government defines a high-reliability organization as one that can operate in complex, high-hazard domains for extended periods of time without serious accidents or catastrophic failures, which pretty much defines what we do every day in the hospital. These organizations tend to have five key principles that define all of them the same way. One is a deference to expertise. Second is a reluctance to simplify. Third is a sensitivity to operations. Fourth is a commitment to resilience. Fifth is a preoccupation with failure. Two not-too-distant past failures are interesting. One is the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the second is the Avianca plane crash on Long Island.

On this, our 331st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss sunscreen and vegans. It's Summer, and the sun is out! Should you slather yourself in sunscreen, stay indoors, or seek moderate exposure to the sun that grows in intensity that more your skin becomes acclimated to the season? The last, of course. Research has found that sunscreen use may be positively correlated with skin cancer, but a) “sunscreen” is not just one thing, and most but not all sunscreen is positively toxic, and b) all cause mortality is lower in people who get regular (non-sunscreened) sun exposure, so even if sunscreen does lower your risk of skin cancer—the sun is protecting your health in other ways. Also consider ditching the sunglasses, and donning a hat. Then: even the New York Times can't figure out whose team they're on, as a vegan in Portland tries to get Oregonians to outlaw hunting, fishing, animal research, conventional livestock production, and “lethal pest control.”*****Our sponsors:Mud/WTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DarkHorse at http://mudwtr.com/DarkHorse #mudwtrpodCaraway: save up to $230 on the 12 piece cookware set vs buying the products individually; include minis duo & save up to $350.

For many families, water represents joy, summer afternoons, swimming lessons, beach vacations, backyard pools and time spent together. But in pediatrics, we also know that water can become dangerous in seconds, often quietly and without warning. Drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in children, and recent updates from the American Academy of Pediatrics reinforce that prevention must be layered, proactive and tailored. In this episode, we explore how pediatricians can support drowning prevention, because some of the most important work in pediatrics happens long before an emergency occurs.   We are joined by Jason Woods, MD. He specializes in emergency medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado and is the Associate Program Director of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also an associate professor. Some highlights from this episode include: The AAP guidelines and toolkit details about drowning prevention  Why the definition of drowning has changed and why that matters  How drowning prevention is layered The role of the pediatrician in feeling confident to counsel families on this topic  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.  

Hormones are about far more than hot flashes. In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is joined by urologist and hormone expert Dr. Kelly Casperson for a conversation that challenges conventional thinking about menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and healthy aging. Dr. Casperson explains why menopause may be better understood as a form of hypogonadism, shares the story behind the removal of the FDA's black box warning on vaginal estrogen, and explores the latest evidence on estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone therapy for women. Topics include: • Vaginal estrogen and the FDA black box warning • The lasting impact of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) • Estrogen, brain health, and mitochondrial function • Testosterone therapy for women: science and misconceptions • Hormone therapy after age 60 • Patient education, body literacy, and informed decision-making • Exercise, sleep, alcohol reduction, and other foundations of healthy aging Whether you're a functional medicine practitioner or someone interested in menopause, longevity, and women's health, this evidence-based conversation offers practical insights and a fresh perspective on hormone care.

Dr. Jacob Ham, licensed clinical psychologist and Director of the Center for Trauma and Resilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, joins me for a profound conversation about trauma, attachment, presence, and the relational experiences that help us heal.   Together we explore:   - Why trauma is not defined solely by what happened to us, but by how those experiences continue to shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. - The difference between living from a state of survival and living from a state of presence. - How trauma can disrupt our natural capacity to move fluidly between connection, protection, openness, and autonomy. - Why healing does not happen through insight alone, but through relationships that allow us to experience safety, reflection, and connection. - The concept of reflective functioning and why it is one of the strongest predictors of secure attachment across generations. - How becoming aware of our internal "chatter" can help us respond with greater compassion toward ourselves and our children. - Why rupture and repair are a normal and necessary part of healthy relationships. - How parents can begin breaking intergenerational cycles by cultivating curiosity, awareness, and presence.   This conversation offers a powerful reminder that secure attachment is not built through perfection. It is built through our willingness to stay present, remain open to reflection, and continually return to connection with ourselves and the people we love. Dr. Ham shares a deeply hopeful perspective on how healing happens and how even small moments of awareness can begin to transform the patterns we pass on to the next generation.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. 

Nitric Oxide Explained: Vascular Health, Exercise Performance, and N1o1 with Dr. Nathan Bryan, international Leader in Molecular Medicine, the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He details NO as a ubiquitous messenger affecting blood flow, erectile function, cognition, exercise performance, endothelial dysfunction, and aging-related declines in NO production. Bryan explains why PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra prolong cyclic GMP signaling but don't fix NO deficiency, and why beet products often fail due to variable nitrate content and inadequate dosing. He outlines his NO lozenge approach that generates NO gas from sodium nitrite and magnesium ascorbate, plus a fermented beet powder drink (NOBeets), and emphasizes the role of oral bacteria (and harms of antiseptic mouthwash/fluoride) in nitrate conversion. They review published endpoints, including flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure effects, inflammation markers, triglycerides, stem cells, plaque regression, applications to Alzheimer's, glaucoma/microvascular disease, safety/dosing considerations, risks of arginine supplementation, and a dual-chamber topical NO serum developed from wound-healing experience.

In this Unfiltered episode of Fixing Healthcare, Drs. Robert Pearl and Jonathan Fisher join cohost Jeremy Corr for a fascinating conversation about the physician's mind, the promise and limits of generative AI, and what medicine risks losing when technology advances faster than humans can tolerate. In this episode, Pearl turns to a realization he had during a recent hiking trip in Portugal: his brain felt different while walking through the woods than it does while solving analytical problems. That observation leads to a deeper discussion of “left brain” and “right brain” thinking in medicine. Fisher explains that while the popular labels are oversimplified, the underlying challenge is real. Doctors must integrate structured reasoning with emotional awareness, diagnosis with relationship, and technical expertise with the human experience of illness. The discussion then moves into one of the episode's most provocative questions: Can generative AI be taught to express empathy and relational intelligence as well as humans? Pearl points to studies showing that AI-generated responses to patient questions can be rated as highly empathetic, comprehensive and accurate. Fisher pushes back, arguing that there is a difference between perceived empathy in written answers and the embodied presence of a physician sitting with a fearful patient and family in a vulnerable moment. What follows is a thoughtful disagreement about the future of medicine. Pearl sees generative AI as a way to fill dangerous gaps in American healthcare, including lack of access after hours, rural shortages, diagnostic errors, preventable medical mistakes and poorly controlled chronic disease. Fisher worries that if AI begins taking over both analytical and relational parts of care, physicians may feel even more threatened in a profession already marked by burnout and uncertainty. This leads to the debate's central question: Will generative AI become the enslaver of clinicians or the liberator? Pearl argues that AI could help physicians escape the growing corporatization of medicine by taking on routine work, expanding access and enabling doctors to practice with more autonomy. Fisher agrees that this future is possible but cautions that in a fee-for-service system, efficiency gains may simply become an excuse to increase volume, billing and pressure on clinicians. Finally, Jeremy brings the conversation back to everyday life by asking whether heavy reliance on technology and AI could weaken the mind the same way physical inactivity weakens the body. Fisher warns that when people offload too much thinking, emotion and relationship-building to devices, they risk losing cognitive sharpness and emotional attunement. Pearl agrees that every technology carries benefits and harms, arguing that the goal should be balance: using AI to learn, understand and solve problems without letting it flatten life's richer, more meaningful experiences.

Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/611-duncan-gill-practice-owner/ How psychiatrist Dr. Duncan Gill transitioned from employee to entrepreneur and built a thriving behavioral health practice serving children, teens, and families. Many highly trained professionals discover that technical expertise alone is not enough to build a successful business. In this episode, Henry Lopez speaks with Dr. Duncan Gill, founder of Direction Behavioral Health, about his journey from practicing psychiatrist to entrepreneur and business owner. Duncan shares how frustration with bureaucracy and a desire to serve patients differently led him to launch his own behavioral health practice. They discuss the challenges of transitioning from clinician to business leader, including hiring and managing employees, navigating partnerships, delegating responsibility, monitoring key performance indicators, and building systems that allow the business to grow beyond the founder. Duncan also shares why creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take calculated risks have been critical to his success. He reflects on the lessons he learned from building a team, expanding facilities, and creating a practice that serves children, teens, and families while providing him with the freedom to pursue other interests, including music. This conversation offers valuable insights not only for healthcare professionals but for any entrepreneur seeking to build a business that can grow beyond their direct involvement. Healthcare professionals should not underestimate their ability to become successful entrepreneurs. Dr. Duncan Gill is a board-certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and the founder of Direction Behavioral Health.
