The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at the genetics of people from many different backgrounds. Three genetics experts join Host Ira Flatow to talk about a recent close examination of the genomes of 65 individuals from around the world, and how it may help researchers get a better understanding of genomic functioning and diversity.Guests:Dr. Christine Beck is an associate professor of genetics and genome sciences in the University of Connecticut Health Center and the Jackson Laboratory.Dr. Glennis Logsdon is an assistant professor of genetics and a core member of the Epigenetics Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.Dr. Adam Philippy is a Senior Investigator in the Center for Genomics and Data Science Research at the National Human Genome Research Institute at the NIH.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

What if the first step in healing wasn't a pill, a treatment, or a diagnosis—but dinner?In this deliciously nourishing conversation we sit down with Andrew Sterman, a practitioner of tai qi and nutritional arts, lifelong musician, and author of Diet is Medicine for Home Cooks and Other Healers. We discuss how our health is shaped not only by what we eat—but how we live, digest, feel, and listen.Andrew shares how a simple bowl of carrot-ginger soup can profoundly shift the nausea in early pregnancy, and how learning to say “no” to particular foods might unlock better digestion. He takes us through the lived reality of dietary change—from resistance to revelation—and reminds us that health isn't just delivered in the clinic; it's built at home.From his intertwined career as a touring musician and Chinese medicine practitioner, Andrew weaves together insights on energy, food therapy, the role of emotions in healing, and how music and medicine are both about tuning what's gone off-key.

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton's brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele. (The Nazi Angel of Death) *** We'll also look at a few other derailed doctors and nurses who had an unhealthy appetite for lobotomies, blisters, and the plague.

CardioNerds (Dr. Rick Ferraro and Dr. Dan Ambinder) join Dr. Sahar Samimi and Dr. Lorraine Mascarenhas from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, at the Houston Rodeo for some tasty Texas BBQ and a tour of the lively rodeo grounds to discuss an interesting case full of clinical pearls involving a patient with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Basant Arya. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. (Photo by Xu Jianmei/Xinhua via Getty Images)Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images We discuss a case of a 38-year-old woman with advanced endometrial cancer who presents with acute abdominal pain, found to have splenic and renal infarcts, severe aortic regurgitation, and persistently negative blood cultures, ultimately diagnosed with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). We review the definition and pathophysiology of NBTE in the context of malignancy and hypercoagulability, discuss initial evaluation and echocardiographic findings, and highlight important management considerations. Emphasis is placed on the complexities of anticoagulation choice, the role of valvular surveillance, and the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary care.   US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Eliminate the Usual Suspects. NBTE is a diagnosis of exclusion! Always rule out infective endocarditis (IE) first with serial blood cultures and serologic tests.  More than Meets the Echo. Distinguishing NBTE from culture-negative endocarditis can be tricky. Look beyond the echo—focus on clinical context (underlying malignancy, autoimmune issues) and lab findings to clinch the diagnosis.  TEE for the Win... Mostly. While TEE is more sensitive than TTE, NBTE vegetations can be sneaky and may embolize quickly. Don't hesitate to use advanced imaging (i.e., cardiac MRI, CTA) or repeat imaging if you still suspect NBTE.  Choose your champion. In cancer-associated NBTE, guideline recommendations for anticoagulation choice are lacking. Consider DOACs and LMWH as agents of choice, but ultimately use shared decision-making to guide management.  No obvious trigger? Go hunting for hidden malignancies or autoimmune disorders. A thorough workup is essential to uncover the driving force behind NBTE.  Check out this state-of-the-art review for a comprehensive, one-stop summary of NBTE: European Heart Journal, 46(3), 236–245. Please note that the figures and tables referenced in the following notes are adapted from this review.  notes- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Notes were drafted by Dr. Sahar Samimi.  What is nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE)?   NBTE, previously known as marantic endocarditis, is a rare condition in which sterile vegetations form on heart valves.1  It occurs most commonly in association with malignancies and autoimmune conditions (i.e, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus).1 In addition, NBTE has been reported in association with COVID-19 infection, burns, sepsis, and indwelling catheters.2  Precise mechanisms remain unclear, but an interplay of endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, hypoxia, and immune complex deposition contributes to the formation of these sterile vegetations. 1  How do we diagnose NBTE?  Physicians should have a high level of suspicion for NBTE in at-risk patients (e.g., with active malignancy) who present with recent or recurrent embolic events (i.e., stroke, splenic, renal, or mesenteric infarct, and acute coronary syndrome).1

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "From burnout to balance: a neurosurgeon's bold career redesign." She shares the powerful story of a female neurosurgeon who, on the verge of leaving medicine for interior design, instead chose to completely redesign her career. Jessie explains how, through coaching and courage, the surgeon created a non-traditional model of working one week on and one week off, which allowed her to find deep fulfillment in both her personal and professional life. The conversation explores the profound role that shame and cultural conditioning play in keeping physicians, especially women, trapped in unhealthy and misaligned roles. Listeners will learn why feeling stuck is not a personal failure but often a sign that the system wasn't built for them, and how creativity, support, and questioning long-held assumptions can help any physician forge a more authentic and sustainable path in medicine.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the recently released 2025 report on the best overall diets. She critiques the methodology behind nutritional research, emphasizing issues such as recall bias and the reliability of food frequency questionnaires. Leyla then provides an in-depth review of the top ten diets listed in the report: Mediterranean, DASH, Flexitarian, MIND, Mayo Clinic, TLC, Menopause, Dr. Andrew Weil's Anti-inflammatory, Volumetrics, and Cleveland Clinic diets. She argues that many of these diets are misrepresented, particularly regarding their fat content and sustainability claims. Leyla also offers her insights on what constitutes a truly effective and sustainable diet.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with astrologer and researcher C.T. Lucero for a wide-ranging conversation that weaves through ancient astrology, the evolution of calendars, the intersection of science and mysticism, and the influence of digital tools like AI on symbolic interpretation. They explore the historical lineage from Hellenistic Greece to the Persian golden age, discuss the implications of the 2020 Saturn-Jupiter conjunction, touch on astrocartography, and reflect on the information age's shifting paradigms. For more on the guest's work, check out ctlucero.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces C.T. Lucero; they begin discussing time cycles and the metaphor of Monday as an unfolding future.05:00 Astrology's historical roots in Hellenistic Greece and Persian Baghdad; the transmission and recovery of ancient texts.10:00 The role of astrology in medicine and timing; predictive precision and interpreting symbolic calendars.15:00 Scientism vs. astrological knowledge; the objective reliability of planetary movement compared to shifting cultural narratives.20:00 Use of AI and large language models in astrology; the limits and future potential of automation in interpretation.25:00 Western vs. Vedic astrology; the sidereal vs. tropical zodiac debate and cultural preservation of techniques.30:00 Christianity, astrology, and the problem of idolatry; Jesus' position in relation to celestial knowledge.35:00 The Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of 2020; vaccine rollout and election disputes as symbolic markers.40:00 The Mayan Venus calendar and its eight-year cycle; 2020 as the true “end of the world.”45:00 Media manipulation, air-age metaphors, and digital vs. analog paradigms; the rise of new empires.50:00 Astrocartography and relocation charts; using place to understand personal missions.Key InsightsAstrology as a Temporal Framework: C.T. Lucero presents astrology not as mysticism but as a sophisticated calendar system rooted in observable planetary cycles. He compares astrological timekeeping to how we intuitively understand days of the week—Sunday indicating rest, Monday bringing activity—arguing that longer astrological cycles function similarly on broader scales.Historical Continuity and Translation: The episode traces astrology's lineage from Hellenistic Greece through Persian Baghdad and into modernity. Lucero highlights the massive translation efforts over the past 30 years, particularly by figures like Benjamin Dykes, which have recovered lost knowledge and corrected centuries of transcription errors, contributing to what he calls astrology's third golden age.Cultural and Linguistic Barriers to Knowledge: Lucero and Alsop discuss how language borders—historically with Latin and Greek, and now digitally with regional languages—have obscured access to valuable knowledge. This extends to old medical practices and astrology, which were often dismissed simply because their documentation wasn't widely accessible.Astrology vs. Scientism: Lucero critiques scientism for reducing prediction to material mechanisms while ignoring symbolic and cyclical insights that astrology offers. He stresses astrology's predictive power lies in pattern recognition and contextual interpretation, not in deterministic forecasts.Astrology and the Digital Age: AI and LLMs are starting to assist astrologers by generating interpretations and extracting planetary data, though Lucero points out that deep symbolic synthesis still exceeds AI's grasp. Specialized astrology AIs are emerging, built by domain experts for richer, more accurate analysis.Reevaluating Vedic and Mayan Systems: Lucero asserts that Western and Vedic astrology share a common origin, and even the Mayan Venus calendar may reflect the same underlying system. While the Indian tradition preserved techniques lost in the West, both traditions illuminate astrology's adaptive yet consistent core.2020 as a Historical Turning Point: According to Lucero, the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of December 2020 marked the start of a 20-year societal cycle and the end of a Mayan Venus calendar “day.” He links this to transformative events like the vaccine rollout and U.S. election, framing them as catalysts for long-term shifts in trust, governance, and culture.

Dairy is often labeled as inflammatory and unhealthy—but is that really true? With rising dairy intolerance and the popularity of plant-based alternatives, it's easy to wonder if milk still belongs in our diets.Traditional dairy like yogurt, kefir, and cheese have nourished cultures for thousands of years, yet modern processing may play a role in today's issues.Joining me is Dr. Bill Schindler, archaeologist, primitive technologist, and chef, who studies ancestral diets and runs the Modern Stone Age Kitchen. Together, we unpack whether dairy is truly “bad” for you, why dairy intolerance is on the rise, and what you can do to better tolerate dairy. ⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

When we think about gene editing, the conversation often feels trapped between scientific journals and ethical debates too complex for public forums. In this episode, I spoke with Neal Baer, a rare voice who bridges both worlds. Known to many as an award-winning television showrunner for series like ER, Law & Order SVU, and Designated Survivor, Neal is also a Harvard-trained physician and co-director of the Media, Medicine, and Health program at Harvard Medical School. His latest project brings all of that experience together in a new collection of essays that explores the promise and peril of CRISPR gene-editing technology. Neal takes us on a journey that begins with his time as a medical resident treating a young sickle cell patient, and leads to a much broader conversation about science, ethics, and storytelling. We discuss how CRISPR is already being used to cure diseases like sickle cell, and how companies are now exploring gene edits that promise permanent reductions in cholesterol. But the real power of this discussion is not just in what CRISPR can do, but in what we still don't fully understand about its long-term impact. The conversation moves into difficult territory—unintended mutations, germline editing, the risk of pathologizing human diversity, and the slippery slope of “enhancement” where only those with access can benefit. Neal raises critical questions about the social cost of deciding which conditions should be “fixed” and who gets to make that call. We also dive into the lack of political and regulatory oversight, and why a global framework, not just scientific advancement, is urgently needed. This episode offers a powerful reminder that the future of CRISPR shouldn't be left solely to researchers or startups. It demands wide engagement, from classrooms to policymaking, and inclusive voices that challenge how we define progress. How should we decide what counts as improvement when the very definition of being human is at stake?

Igenex also does some FISH testing. e.     To fill other holes: Vibrant TBP, Galaxy specific for bartonella4.     Talk to us about treatment. Let's start with antibiotics & then move outwards- what's the approach here with antibiotics? a.     Are antibiotics always needed? b.     Do anti-viral for anti-fungal have a role here? c.     What about ancillary treatments like disulfiram? Are there others like this? d.     What about mitochondrial supports, detox, and binders? e.     What about nutritional supports? f.      What about diet, lifestyle & the mind?  5.     Where does chronic Lyme sit in the pantheon of other chronic infections like Long-COVID & EBV & Strep with PANS/ PANDAS? How much does treatment overlap for these diseases?  6.     How much do environment (personal microbiome, community, environmental toxicity) & genetics contribute to the risk for developing or persisting chronic infections? How do you best like to assess or treat this?  7.     Let's talk politics for a moment: Why won't many conventional clinicians recognize or treat chronic Lyme?  8.     What's up & coming in the Lyme world research & education-wise?

What if you didn't need that knee replacement after all? What if cancer treatment didn't have to poison your entire body? Dr. Jeff Gross is challenging everything we think we know about modern medicine.As a neurological surgeon with impeccable credentials from UC Berkeley and GW School of Medicine, Dr. Gross spent years performing conventional spine surgeries. But watching the healthcare system devolve into what he calls "sick care" – where doctors are rushed through 5-minute appointments and insurance companies dictate treatments – drove him to seek better solutions for his patients.The results are nothing short of revolutionary. European studies followed patients for 15+ years and found that over 82% of people who needed knee replacements were able to avoid them completely through stem cell procedures. "The orthopedic menu goes physical therapy, cortisone injections, maybe lubricating injections, maybe a scope to clean up a tear. But replacement is the dessert on the menu," Dr. Gross explains. "There are options before dessert."Beyond joint treatments, Dr. Gross is pioneering the use of natural killer cells to fight cancer without the devastating side effects of chemotherapy. These specialized immune cells can selectively target abnormal cells without harming healthy tissue – yet this approach remains largely unknown because, as Dr. Gross candidly states, "you'd really cut into people making a lot of money that make chemotherapy and radiation machines."The conversation explores cutting-edge peptide therapies that can accelerate healing, manage weight, and even reverse aspects of aging. From growth hormone-releasing compounds to metabolism-boosting molecules, these treatments represent the frontier of anti-aging medicine that most conventional doctors aren't discussing with their patients.Ready to explore alternatives to conventional medicine?

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape.

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health.

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.Listen to Lawless Planet: Wondery.fm/LawlessPlanetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
