Dr. Naftali Kaminski chats with Dr. MeiLan Han as she shares her journey into becoming Chief of Division of Pulmonary Critical Care at University of Michigan, starting off at a Veterinary facility in her first year of medical school and her non-linear career path; shares some advice in staying the course even if it isn't the traditional route. 

Killers of the Flower Moon has brought the world's attention to one of the most vile murder cases in American history, and at the center of it all was Mollie Kyle-Burkhart. Mollie would have grown up in the traditional way of her Osage ancestors, but by the time she was an adult, her family was wealthy, and she lived in a big home with white servants and with a white husband. Mollie lost all of her family members during the reign of terror, and I can't imagine what it must have been like to go through something that horrible. On today's episode, we get into her story of resilience.  Bibliography Osage Nation. “About.” Accessed February 25, 2024. https://www.osagefoundation.org/about.

June 8, 2023 ~ Dr. MeiLan Han, professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan Health, talks with Tom about how the smoke from the wildfires impacts us.

The giant panda Hua Hua attracted 264,000 visitors to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, which was the second most popular tourist destination in China during the May Day holidays, according to local media reports.The "giant panda economy" has become a bright spot in the country's consumption, with numerous cultural and creative shops in Chengdu and across the country filled with a wide variety of panda-related products.He Hua (nicknamed Hua Hua) will soon be three years old and has captivated the hearts of Chinese people thanks to her mild temperament and her rare inability to climb trees. She is also different from other giant pandas because of her white fur, rather than the more common beige color, and her chubbiness, making her highly recognizable.He Hua's family background further boosts her appeal, as her mother is Chenggong, known for her obsession with cleanliness, and her father is Meilan, who was born in the US.Many young people travel to Southwest China's Sichuan province just to see the giant pandas. Celebrity giant panda Hua Hua boosted ticket sales at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, with all 180,000 tickets selling out for the first three days of this year's May Day holidays. There were so many visitors that the park had to set Hua Hua's viewing time limit to only three minutes."We made this special trip to come here to see Hua Hua," said a tourist. "We plan to stay at the base all day just to see the giant pandas and we plan to continue coming here even tomorrow," he added.On the social media platform Xiaohongshu, a netizen posted a photo of Hua Hua eating an apple and wrote "Hua Hua and her favorite little apple," which quickly garnered more than 2,500 likes.China is in the grip of giant panda fever following a spate of stories about the bears both at home and in overseas zoos, which has sparked a shopping spree for products related to the animal. The sales have prompted the media to dub it the "giant panda economy."The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding rushed to register several trademarks after He Hua became a national darling and a key search word on e-commerce websites. The trademarks are related to fields including clothing, shoes, hats, feed seeds, education and entertainment.The last giant panda to cause a rush was the mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, Bing Dwen Dwen, which was created based on the image of a giant panda. More than 1.4 million toy mascots were sold during the Games, according to media reports.Earlier this year, it emerged that Ya Ya's health was failing, sparking national concern in China and demands for her early return. Ya Ya, a giant panda born at Beijing Zoo, was leased to Memphis Zoo in 2003. At the end of last year, it was announced that she would be returned to China at the end of the 20-year lease.In addition to Ya Ya, several other giant pandas living overseas have been returned to China this year, including Xiang Xiang, who returned to China in February from the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo in Japan.Along with Hua Hua, Ya Ya and Xiang Xiang, Meng Lan is also one of the most popular giant pandas across the country. On the first day of the May Day holidays, thousands of people lined up outside the giant panda house at Beijing Zoo, waiting half an hour to get in just to see Meng Lan for five minutes.Behind the "giant panda craze" is the continuous growth of the population of this species amid China's green development. At present, the wild population of giant pandas in China has increased from 1,114 in the 1970s to 1,864. With the advancement of the construction of the Giant Panda National Park, the connectivity and integrity of the giant panda habitat are being improved.

In Episode #220, Dr MeiLan Han joins me to discuss the lungs and respiratory system. Despite being an incredibly important factor of our overall health, the respiratory system is often overlooked. Most people's knowledge is surface level, and we aren't educated on the importance of the lungs or how to best support respiratory health. Dr MeiLan Han joins me in this episode to explain what the respiratory system is, how it works, and what we can do to optimise it. In this episode, Dr Han establishes what the respiratory system is and how it works. We discuss the prevalence of lung conditions, Covid-19 and its impact on the respiratory system, and air quality. We also discuss healthy habits for pregnancy, the effects of smoking and vaping on lung health, diet, and how to reduce exposure to toxic compounds. Specifically, we cover: Intro [0:00] Breathing Lessons: The Book [2:09] Meilan's Story [5:59] Importance of Lung Awareness [11:07] Lung Tests [24:25] Impact of Covid [29:57] How the Lungs Work [33:32] Childhood Lung Health [44:52] Air Quality [53:55] Cleansing the Lungs [1:15:20] COPD [1:19:47] Final Thoughts [1:27:32] Outro [1:29:35] If you are interested in learning more about lung health, Dr Han's book is the perfect resource.

Dr. MeiLan Han, MD, MS.. MS, is a Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan.  Dr. Han is also  the author of Breathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health.Dr. Han explains the importance of lung health for people of all ages. During this episode she spends time discussing COPD, Asthma, COVID 19, and other lung health issues. "Dr. Han's research has focused on defining phenotypes in COPD using imaging. She is a lead investigator for several NIH sponsored COPD studies. She also serves on the scientific advisory committees for both the COPD Foundation and American Lung Association, the board for the COPD Foundation and serves as a spokesperson for the American Lung Association. She is currently a Deputy Editor for the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine and serves on the editorial boards for Thorax, Lancet Respiratory Medicine and Journal of the COPD Foundation. She is also a member of the Global Obstructive Lung Disease scientific committee which is charged with developing internationally an internationally recognized consensus statement on COPD diagnosis and management. "(Retrieved from https://www.uofmhealth.org/profile/769/meilan-king-han-md-ms. Retrieved on June 11, 2022.)The show's goal is to express the importance of lung health and to inform, inspire, influence, and educate Metropolitan Detroiters on how to address lung health, wellness, and issues at various ages and stages. Hosted by Dr. Cleamon Moorer Sponsored by: American Advantage Home Care, Inc.

Healthcare costs due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is in excess of $32 billion due to high rates of re-hospitalizations and ED visits, complex and inefficient clinical pathways during transitions of care, and intensive resource burden on clinical and administrative staff. The average cost per COPD patient readmission in the U.S. typically falls between $9,000 and $12,000. Unlike other high cost chronic conditions like CHF and diabetes, it seems that many ACOs are not as purposeful in their targeting of COPD as part of their population health playbook. This is a massive unmet need with many COPD patients experiencing fragmented and inconsistent care that drives poor clinical outcomes and high economic burden. Consequently, COPD now represents the 3rd leading cause of death and the 5th most costly chronic disease in the US. What is it about this particular chronic condition that makes it so less prone for population health management with ACOs and other risk-bearing entities?  Why is this chronic disease so universally undiagnosed? How can we implement chronic care management programs that actually make an impact on patient lung health and clinical outcomes?

Featured Guest: MeiLan K. Han, MD, MS, Professor and Chief at the University of Michigan Health. Mark and Janson had a chance to interview MeiLan Han a leading pulmonologist who has authored a new book called” Breathing Lessons.” It takes readers on a fascinating tour of this most vital organ, the lungs. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body's first line of defense. https://www.drmeilanhan.com/breathing-lessons-book

On average, a person takes around 20,000 breaths each day; yet most of us never notice the rhythmic rush of air flowing in and out, keeping our bodies oxygenated and alive. And as many asthma or respiratory distress sufferers will attest, you don't want to notice. But things are happening all around us that threaten our blissful ignorance of breathing — wildfire smoke, indoor and outdoor pollution, and Viruses like COVID-19, to name a few — and they will continue to impact us unless we take action. In her new book, Breathing Lessons: A Doctor's Guide to Lung Health, leading pulmonologist Dr. MeiLan K. Han broke down the wonders of breathing in an authoritative guide to how our lungs work and how to protect them. Dr. Han, a national spokesperson for the American Lung Association, shared some of the latest scientific thinking about the respiratory risks we currently face. As the threat of seasonal wildfire smoke grows, new diseases develop, and pollutants continue to be dispersed in the air, we still need to breathe. There's no better time to learn more about how lungs work; and, Dr. Han argued, focus on social policy that prioritizes lung health nationwide. MeiLan K. Han, MD, is a professor of medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the University of Michigan. She also serves on the scientific advisory committees for both the COPD Foundation and American Lung Association and serves as a spokesperson for the American Lung Association.

What a delight to chat with world traveler and book lover Carol Yee about her favorite book. “The World Unseen” is a slim love story that manages to touch on racial, sexual, and political tensions, while somehow manages to also be a compelling love story. We also discuss how travel and reading are similar, and the rules of Turkish coffee. One note about our conversation: Carol and I use the word “colored” a lot in the context of the book, which is the correct terminology for the time and place this book is set. When Carol and I talk about this term, we are, in fact, discussing the ridiculousness of these complex and nonsensical forms of racist distinctions. We talk about the traditions of a culture we are unfamiliar with, and grapple with the social implications of such distinctions, and, as always, marvel at the way fiction can bring us to the truths of the lives of other people.

So much so that we're oblivious to how our lungs work or what factors could potentially put us at risk. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death of both men and women in the United States. Chronic lower respiratory disease is the #4 cause of death. Nearly 37 million Americans live with chronic lung disease. With those stats in mind, it's critical that we understand not only the circumstances that lead to respiratory illness and disease but to learn about and apply preventative measures to protect your lungs over a lifetime. Today, I speak with Dr. MeiLan Han in-depth about respiratory health.

Books are such a powerful teaching tool because they give us glimpses into experiences beyond our own — which is something children's book author Andrea Wang is an expert at. Andrea's books are beautiful for many reasons — they'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, and they'll help you better understand Chinese and other Asian cultures. I can't recommend her picture books and middle grade novels enough for you and your kiddos. Andrea previously joined me on the podcast to discuss how we can bring Chinese culture into our homes, and she graciously agreed to speak with me again, this time to unpack two specific Asian stereotypes and how we can teach our children to be in solidarity with the Asian community and push back against these stereotypes.   In this conversation, Andrea and I discuss: Asian stereotypes surrounding food and how we respond to them. Stereotypes about Asian names and how we can be more sensitive. Her recent books — “Watercress” and “The Many Meanings of Meilan.”  How children's books can serve as a springboard for teachable moments. How Andrea's books include relatable experiences. Andrea's hope for her books to show common humanity among races.   Race Talk Roadmap Our Race Talk Roadmap is the tool you need to begin conversations about race and racism with your children!

So this October we are launching “Ally Elementary: Anti-Racist Education For Families."  During this five-week program parents will work together with their children to create a culture of anti-racism in their home, and I will be there to guide them every step of the way. We will use hands-on activities to teach our children about everything from the untold story of how race was created to how they can disrupt racism in their everyday lives. I am so excited to watch the families in our community make a meaningful transformation and improve their communities through anti-racist action.

MEI-LAN MAURITAS It is my purpose to connect people to their heart and guide them back to their soul light and purpose. My method is Angelic sound healing. My connection to Spirit allows me to attune myself to the language of your soul which I then channel into a beautiful song with a message and light language. The song invokes a deep remembrance within you—it is my intention with these songs to connect you to source energy and anchor that energy down into your body to align you with heaven and earth. I have spent many years searching for answers of who I am and why I'm here. It wasn't until I went deep within and connected to my soul that my life began to change. An awareness began to fill me: I am a sovereign being who is here for a specific reason and purpose. The next step was finding my purpose and once I did I felt the deepest sense of peace and fulfillment. Ever since, I have dedicated myself to assisting and guiding the light workers, keepers of the earth, and star seeds to find their souls path and higher purpose so we can heal and impact our world. If you feel the stirring in your soul to connect to your true purpose, send me a private message on this page and we'll begin the discovery—together.   In this podcast we talk about: a reconnection of our hearts with a person we did not know, but both of us felt instantly drawn to spend more time with each other. What we thing we know is so much less than what the world wants to give us What it is, is love because love is who we are.We are s=more alike than we are separate. When intention is clear, it is felt. How Trust and Surrender work with each other. The disarming that happens when you just let the sound in Growing up singing in a cult and how music moved from being a chore to something that moved her deeply. The yearning to feel connection, the yearning of her soul to feel connected to source So many of us feel stuck in the “cult” of our environments that once felt right and now don't, how do we have the courage to surrender and trust everything will be ok. The way trust works Trust and the voice that tells you there is something more Creating the space to trust the yearning Understanding the voices that live within us The thing that gives us the most joy is “the thing” that leads us to our purpose. Our gift is our purpose. Allowing the process of our evolution to happen. An intimate experience of breath Wayne Dyer and the frequency of a sound Listening, then creating and then healing the place where she had no voice. the beauty of being where she is now and the things that happened to get her there. How she stays innocent and clean when thousands of people love her and tell her how much they love her work. How she doesn't get lost in her ego. The innocence of Mei-lan and the characters in my book, The Mosaic and how they both are teaching me the humility that comes with surrender. The embarrassment and shame of the natural What I was taught vs. what my connection truly was The desire to be accepted The fear of being perceived as crazy an experience and an opening is this the world you always dreamed of giving to your children and yur children's children To contact Meilan, please go to these pages website: www.Mei-lanMaurits.com facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MeilanMauritsRise/ To contact Danny, please go to my website: www.TheMosaicOnline.com
