    Before the Friday night lights and before the season even begins, there's one appointment that can determine athletic eligibility: the pre-participation sports physical. For pediatricians, it's often treated like a checkbox but in reality, it's a powerful clinical moment. Sometimes it is the one chance to catch something that can change a life. In this episode, we explore how to turn the pre-participation physical from paperwork into prevention. We'll break down what really matters in the sports physical, what red flags to watch for and how to use this visit to protect young athletes and support families. Kristina Wilson, MD, and Nate Howel, MD, join us for this episode. Dr. Wilson is the Medical Director of the Sports Medicine Center at Children's Hospital Colorado and an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Howell specializes in primary care sports medicine and is also an Assistant Professor.  Some highlights from this episode include: Current guidelines and recommendations for the sports pre-participation physical  Why history matters during this exam  How to handle the same day "I need this form signed now" visit  How to best conduct this during a routine checkup    For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

    Send a textIn this episode of Journal Club, Ben and Daphna review a non-inferiority trial from the European Journal of Pediatrics exploring surfactant administration thresholds in preterm neonates. The study, conducted in India, compares a 30% versus 40% FiO2 threshold for babies 26-32 weeks gestational age. The hosts break down the counterintuitive findings regarding respiratory support duration in younger subgroups and discuss the broader implications of using rigid FiO2 heuristics versus individualized patient assessment. They also debate how resource availability influences clinical protocols and the potential benefits of "LISA" (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration) for avoiding intubation.----Higher (40%) versus lower (30%) FiO2 threshold for surfactant administration in preterm neonates between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age: a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

    In this special solo episode, I reflect on the surprising, emotional power of football—not just as entertainment, but as a vehicle for emotional expression, tribal connection, and generational bonding. Using the recent Buffalo Bills playoff loss as a launch point, I explore why sports hurt when we lose, why they matter when we win, and how something so seemingly trivial can touch the deepest parts of our humanity.I talk about the ritual of watching games at a Bills Backers bar, the magic of celebrating with strangers, and the sacred phone calls I share with my dad every week during the season. We also touch on the contrast between the fan and the player—the joy for us, the sacrifice for them—and why honoring both truths is part of growing up. If you've ever wondered why this “game” hits you so hard, this one's for you. Episode Highlights[00:00] – Why losing a football game hurts more than we admit[01:15] – Our primal need for battle, stakes, and tribal expression[02:43] – Ancient arenas vs. modern stadiums: how ritual never left[04:10] – Community medicine: bars, strangers, and bonding over a team[05:09] – Celebrating with strangers becomes something sacred[06:30] – The real therapy: weekly phone calls with my dad after every game[07:32] – Honoring the grief of knowing those calls won't last forever[08:45] – Sports as socially accepted emotional expression[09:32] – Holding two truths: joy for the fan, risk for the player[10:45] – Maybe it's not just a game, maybe it's one of the few places we let ourselves feel it all Links & ResourcesCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENThe Biological Blueprint Program: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/Beam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Condition: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency Rare inborn error of metabolism Inability to properly break down ammonia Leads to severe hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy Natural history: Without treatment, typically fatal within the first few weeks of life Even with current standard treatments, life expectancy is often limited to ~5–6 years Breakthrough treatment: A team of researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania developed the CRISPR-based targeted gene therapy for this patient. First-of-its-kind precision approach tailored to the patient's specific mutation Key components of the therapy: Whole-genome sequencing to identify the exact CPS1 mutation Creation of a custom base-editing enzyme designed to correct that specific mutation Design of a guide RNA to direct the base editor to the precise genomic location Delivery method: Lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the gene-editing machinery Nanoparticles can be targeted to specific tissues Why the liver works well: CPS1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes The liver is relatively easy to target with lipid nanoparticles Hepatocytes divide frequently, allowing edited genes to be passed on as cells replicate Long-term impact: Once edited, cells continue producing functional CPS1 enzyme Potential for durable, possibly lifelong correction from a single treatment References https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/infant-rare-incurable-disease-first-successfully-receive-personalized-gene-therapy-treatment Choi Y, Oh A, Lee Y, Kim GH, Choi JH, Yoo HW, Lee BH.

    Unlicensed Medicine: Releasing Ancestral Trauma and Unleashing the Power of your Lineage by Dr. Meher Chahal Drmeherchahal.com https://www.amazon.com/Unlicensed-Medicine-Releasing-Ancestral-Unleashing/dp/1967587345 What if the emotional trauma you’re carrying isn’t even yours? Dr. Meher Chahal thought she had escaped her childhood trauma and shadows by becoming a psychiatrist. Initially, she was passionate about joining psychiatry as a result of her mother's schizophrenia and the impact of the illness on her family system. But everything unraveled when she discovered her maternal ancestor was found guilty of the murder of her husband in a trial that made Indian Supreme Court history. Her carefully built career, her denial of past trauma, even her sense of self—suddenly, none of it felt real. In Unlicensed Medicine, Dr. Chahal takes you on a raw, unflinching journey from psychiatric residency to ancestral healing, revealing how generational trauma lives in our bodies and shapes our lives in ways we never imagined. This ancestral trauma essentially becomes a soul-level karmic debt that a child carries out of love and loyalty to the family system of origin. This isn’t your typical self-help book filled with gentle affirmations. This is shadow work for the brave—a guide to facing the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding and alchemizing your deepest wounds into power. Through the lens of Family Constellations and somatic healing, Chahal shows us that breaking generational cycles requires more than positive thinking, conventional medications, and talk therapy. It demands radical honesty, nervous system rewiring, and the courage to feel everything you’ve been running from. If you’ve ever wondered: Why you keep repeating the same painful and self-sabotage patterns Why meditation alone isn’t enough Why your “perfect” life still feels empty What’s really beneath your anxiety, depression, or unexplained rage This book is your wake-up call. This is root cause healing at the deepest layer of all trauma. Something which most self-help books miss. Drawing from both Western psychiatry and spiritual healing on a soul level. Dr. Chahal offers a revolutionary approach to understanding trauma—not just as personal wounds, but as inherited burdens passed down through generations. With unflinching vulnerability, she shares her own journey of pain, discovery, and continuous healing—because this work is never truly “done,” and that’s exactly the point. Unlicensed Medicine is for seekers who are done with surface-level healing. For those brave enough to look into the shadow cage and reclaim what’s been hidden there. For anyone ready to honor their ancestors while returning their unprocessed pain. You are the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for. Warning: Side effects include sudden self-awareness, expanding your consciousness, audacious authenticity, and the uncomfortable realisation that most healing modalities don't even come close to the root. The Good News? This powerful healing therapy may just heal your relationship with money, power, sex, and love! Since these are all deeply intertwined in the systemic constellation quantum field. After all, what's the point of healing if it's not practically useful? Because the experience of the material world is the most spiritual experience for a soul on this planet. About the author Indian-American doctor, model, psychological astrologer, angel investor and visionary entrepreneur trained in Family Constellation therapy Born into a lineage marked by her mother's schizophrenia and a murder in her maternal line, she experienced firsthand the weight of trauma that Western medicine alone could not explain. After 11 years in medicine and psychiatry, she left the conventional path to follow a deeper calling. Her discovery and training in Family Constellations revealed a system she calls the most powerful healing modality on the planet — one that unites the science of epigenetics with the wisdom of the soul.

    Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

    Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, our host welcomes Dr. Andrew Wilner to discuss his extensive career in medicine, detailing his certifications in internal medicine, neurology, and epilepsy. Dr. Wilner shares his multifaceted journey, from starting as an ER doctor without formal training to becoming a professor of neurology. He delves into the evolution of the internship model and offers advice for medical students in career decision-making. Dr. Wilner also elaborates on the locum tenens lifestyle, discussing the challenges and benefits, including the necessary preparation and mindset for success. Additionally, he highlights his experiences in academic roles, private practice, and as a medical journalist. The conversation concludes with insights into Dr. Wilner's book, 'The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens,' and his podcast, 'The Art of Medicine,' featuring stories of physicians pursuing unique medical careers. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Flexibility is Essential for Locums Success: Locums work requires adaptability in every aspect - assignments can be canceled last minute, you'll work in unfamiliar systems, and conditions are often less than ideal. The ability to be flexible and resourceful is more important than clinical skills alone. Prepare Thoroughly Before Each Assignment: Arrive 2 days early to handle logistics: learn the EMR system (demand paid training), scout parking and accommodations, get credentialing done, and eliminate uncertainties. This preparation reduces stress and lets you focus on patient care when the assignment starts. Locums Prevents Burnout and Maintains Career Options: Working locums (even part-time) keeps you clinically active, resets credentialing clocks, and provides control over your schedule. Many burned-out physicians rediscover their love of medicine through locums by working on their own terms (7-9 months/year) rather than leaving clinical practice entirely. Meet Dr. Andrew Wilner: Dr. Wilner has worked locum tenens on and off since 1982 and is the author of "The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens." Dr. Wilner is Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, and host and producer of the Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner podcast since 2020.

    Greg Jenner is joined in the sixteenth century by Dr Alanna Skuse and comedian Ria Lina to learn all about medicine and medical professionals in Tudor and Stuart England. In Renaissance-era England, medicine was still based on the theory of the four humours, passed down from ancient Greek and Roman physicians like Hippocrates and Galen. But from the reign of Henry VIII, there were signs of change. The invention of the printing press led to an explosion in medical and anatomical books, and the circulation of ideas from across Europe. The College of Physicians was founded in 1518, and the Company of Barber-Surgeons in 1543. Medicine became a real business, with a range of specialists, professional bodies overseeing different kinds of healthcare, and an explosion of medical providers advertising their services to the general public. This episode explores the landscape of healthcare in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, looking at everyone from physicians, surgeons and apothecaries to domestic healers and midwives, and even taking in quacks and frauds. Along the way, it examines the sensible social distancing measures taken during the Great Plague, the cures both sensible and dangerous offered for all kinds of diseases, and the cutting-edge experiments men like William Harvey and Christopher Wren were carrying out on the circulation of the blood. If you're a fan of the history of everyday life in Tudor England, petty professional rivalries, and the whacky wellness trends of the past, you'll love our episode on medicine in Renaissance England. If you want more from Ria Lina, listen to our episodes on pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao and medieval traveller Marco Polo.

    This week we replay an episode from nearly 2 years ago about an editorial commentary from multiple congenital heart surgical leaders in the US. The topic of their expert opinion piece is the concept of public reporting of results and their 'amplification' through organizations such as US News and World Report, to name one. How has the use of the database from STS been sometimes misinterpreted through public reporting or ranking systems? What was the initial intent of the STS database and how does the present usage of these data differ from the initial intent? Do STS risk adjustment models capture all aspects of risk for patients undergoing surgery and how do deficiencies in this result in unfair 'rankings' of programs? Can we 'take control' of our data and interpret it more clearly and accurately for the public and reduce misusage or misinterpretation of the data? How can public reporting result in improved outcomes? How can 'gaming' of the system be reduced? Dr. Emile Bacha, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University shares his deep insights into a complex and challenging topic.DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.03.022

    Slather some beef tallow on it. On this episode, M3 Fallon Jung, M1s Isa Perez-Sandi and Cory Karasek, and M2 Maria Schapfel let loose on the internet’s wildest health content. We react to AI-generated videos claiming cortisol is why Dave smells bad, Colonel Sanders warning you about non-biodegradable supermarket fruit, and those unhinged animations where a screaming spine demands you fix your posture. Some of it’s nonsense, some of it’s accurate, and all of it leads to tangents about fake vomit made from chunky soup, whether the ER triage nurse should tell non-emergent patients “good news, you’re not dying,” and the eternal question every clinical student faces: “So what specialty are you going into?” We talk about imposter syndrome, being “pluripotent,” the secret ER life hack nobody tells you about, and why Jeff Goldblum’s face should be used in all AI-generated health content. It’s an hour of medical students trying to make sense of what social media is feeding their future patients—and themselves.

    Over the past 160 episodes, two themes that have appeared repeatedly feel as relevant and urgent as ever are 1) the pros and dehumanizing cons of technology and 2) approaching suffering in the human experience. In this episode, we are excited to bring back a panel of notable past guests to discuss the interplay between medicine, suffering, technology, and the human experience. We are joined by historian Christine Rosen, PhD, philosopher Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhD, and palliative care physician Sunita Puri, MD. Rosen is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute whose work is focused on American history, society and culture, technology and culture, and feminism. Slawkowski-Rode is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw and research fellow at the University of Oxford with a current emphasis on the philosophy of science and religion. Dr. Puri is a palliative care physician, associate professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, and author of the critically acclaimed book That Good Night (2019). As a panel, we consider a prominent aspect of the unwritten curriculum of medicine: how medicine often considers suffering and sorrow to be fixable and their eradication to be a metric of medical success. We explore ways digital technology can make our lives easier without making them better, and the pressing need to define and defend the (non-digital) human experience. We propose that the goal is not to eradicate all suffering, but to reduce needless suffering without denying the forms that accompany love, growth, and moral responsibility. When suffering is treated as an intolerable defect, we can become preoccupied with self-protection and less available to one another. The first and most important gift a caregiver can give is their undivided attention and the biggest mistake we can make in medicine is turning away from suffering. Finally, we ponder if for both patients and physicians, life, in the end, is meant to be a mystery.In this episode, you'll hear about: 6:37 – Unlearning preconceived perspectives on suffering, technology, and human experience. 13:08 – Engaging with digital technology critically instead of presuming that technological progress is inherently good.19:28 – Suffering as an irradicable and sometimes necessary element of the human condition.27:50 – Helping young terminal patients grapple with their diagnosis as a palliative care doctor. 36:36 – How the pursuit of immortality can lead to moral sickness.47:08 – How digital technologies are inciting a collective disembodiment from reality.53:15 – Practices that will positively impact the modern lived experience.Explore our guests' past episodes on The Doctor's Art: Human Experience in A Digital World | Christine Rosen, PhDA Philosophy of Grief | Mikolaj Slawkowski-Rode, PhDThe Beauty of Impermanence | Sunita Puri, MDIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show wherever you get your podcasts.
