Send us Fan MailWhat if the most frightening part of a pathology report is not the word cancer, but the silence that follows?In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, Dr. Aleksandra Zuraw talks with Michele Mitchell—breast cancer survivor, caregiver, national patient advocate, and longtime volunteer across Michigan Medicine, ASCP, the Digital Pathology Association, and MyPathologyReport.ca—about what happened when she saw her own cancer slide years after treatment. That moment changed how she understood her disease, her risk, and her role as a patient advocate.This is not just a patient story. It is a digital pathology implementation story.The episode looks at how digital pathology removes practical barriers to sharing slides, why pathology clinics matter, and what becomes possible when pathologists move from being hidden in the background to becoming direct contributors to patient understanding. Michelle and Dr. Aleks talk through the communication gap around pathology reports, the emotional cost of delayed explanation, and the real-world workflow of pathology clinic visits built to help patients review their slides with the pathologist who made the diagnosis.They also discuss what the 21st Century Cures Act changed for patients, why immediate access to reports without interpretation can still create fear, and how pathology clinics can bridge the gap between raw data and real understanding. The conversation gets practical too: how patients can request a pathology clinic visit, what virtual pathology consults can look like, how billing and workflow concerns are already being addressed, and why the infrastructure question is smaller than many people assume.If you work in digital pathology, pathology informatics, patient communication, or implementation, this episode is a reminder that visibility is not extra. It is part of the value proposition. And for pathologists who worry this is too far outside the traditional role, the episode offers a grounded counterpoint: the workflows, templates, billing structures, and virtual options already exist.Highlights00:00 – Why pathology needs to become more patient-centered Michele frames the core problem clearly: what often scares patients is not only cancer, but the silence around the diagnosis. 00:34 – How digital pathology changes the patient experience Digital slides make it possible for patients to see their diagnosis, compare normal and abnormal tissue, and ask better questions. 11:13 – What happened when Michele saw her cancer for the first time More than a decade after treatment, seeing her own slide changed how she understood her grade, her risk, and her daily health decisions. 16:19 – Why visual pathology can change adherence and lifestyle Michele explains how the image-based explanation became a practical turning point, not just an emotional one. 20:43 – The case for direct pathologist-patient communication The episode reviews why this can improve clarity, treatment understanding, clinic efficiency, and even professional satisfaction for pathologists. 38:40 – What a pathology clinic actually looks like From preparation and consent to slide review, plain language, empathy, and follow-up, the workflow is much more concrete than many people assume. 45:35 – ASCP's certification workshop for pathology clinics Michele describes the national effort to make pathology clinics reproducible, scalable, and easier to implement. 49:32 – What the 21st Century Cures Act changed Patients now get near real-time access to reports, but that access still needs interpretation, context, and support. 01:03:23 – Pushback, logistics, and why the barriers are not where people think Time, reimbursement, scheduling, and virtual setup are addressed directly with examples already in practice. 01:16:57 – The future: patient-friendly reports, AI, and pathology as part of the care team The episode closes on a practical vision: not hype, but tools and workflows that already exist and can be connected now. Resources mentionedDigital Pathology Place – website and educational platform referenced by Dr. Aleks as the home for her work and resources. Digital Pathology 101 – Dr. Aleks's book, referenced in the broader discussion of patient and pathologist education. Michigan Medicine breast pathology clinic – launched in 2023 as a patient-facing breast pathology clinic model. ASCP pathology clinic certification workshop – national workshop co-developed to help institutions build pathology clinics. 21st Century Cures Act – legal framework behind near real-time patient access to pathology reports and related health data. MyPathologyReport.ca – patient-friendly pathology education resource reviewed with patient advocate involvement. American Cancer Society Reach to Recovery – support resource mentioned for breast cancer patients. Scanslated – patient-friendly report interface discussed as part of a future-facing model for pathology communication. Virtual pathology consults/telehealth setup – discussed as a scalable way to lower implementation friction.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

In this episode, I'm breaking down the four pillars of recomposition to help you shrink your body fat, build lean muscle, and reclaim the energy you had in your 20s. For 30 years, the fitness world has preached the same rule: you have to "bulk" to gain muscle, or "cut" to lose fat. But modern science shows us a different path. It is entirely possible to do both at the same time through a process called Body Recomposition.

Fasting is one of the most powerful healing practices in human history—it's free, requires zero equipment, and your body is literally designed for it. But while it sounds simple, there is a wrong way to do it, especially when it comes to the hormonal "engine switch" that happens in the first 24 hours. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happens in your body during a 3-day fast, from clearing out "zombie cells" to the 60% drop in aging markers.

Hospitals are improving the health and well-being of communities through a care model that fosters collaboration between clinicians, patients and their support systems. Person- and Family-Centered Care (PFCC) — often referred to as Patient and Family Engagement (PFE) — is an approach to care delivery that has been shown to improve health outcomes, lower costs, enhance patient experience and boost overall staff satisfaction. In this episode of the MiCare Champion Cast, two members of the MHA Person & Family Engagement Advisory Council from MyMichigan Health and Michigan Medicine provide first-hand insight on the powerful impact of PFE. It also provides actionable ways for healthcare teams to implement PFE and uplift its value to hospital leadership. Guests include Michelle Brady, MSHAL, BSN, RN, CPXP, director, patient experience and relations, MyMichigan Health and Michele Mitchell, BS, MS, PMP, a nationally recognized patient advocate and breast cancer survivor.

In this episode, I'm joined by Christina Jagielski, GI health psychologist and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Michigan Medicine. Dr Jagielski specialises in the intersection of psychological trauma and gastrointestinal health, using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, relaxation training, and gut-directed hypnotherapy to support patients with a range of GI conditions. In this episode, we explore trauma-informed care in gastroenterology — including how trauma can shape gut symptoms, patient behaviour, and healthcare experiences. We unpack the biological and psychological pathways linking trauma and the gut–brain axis, the risk of re-traumatisation in clinical settings, and why patients with trauma histories often experience more severe symptoms and poorer quality of life. We also discuss practical strategies for clinicians and healthcare teams, including how to create safer, more compassionate environments through trauma-informed principles such as safety, transparency, choice, and collaboration. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone living with a gut condition, this episode offers powerful insights into how care can be delivered in a way that heals, rather than harms. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Christina Jagielski.

A single genetic diagnosis can ripple through generations and reshape medical care for an entire family. Cascade genetic testing, the offering of targeted genetic testing to biological relatives of a person in whom a disease-causing variant has already been identified, can find at‑risk relatives, improve outcomes, and save costs through early treatment and prevention. We spoke with Rajani Aatre, senior genetic counselor at Michigan Medicine's Frankel Cardiovascular Center, about the importance of cascade genetic testing, the ethical tension between honoring a patient's privacy and protecting relatives from preventable harm; and the question of whether, when, and how to share life‑changing genetic information with relatives.

ANN ARBOR —News, advice and research about what we eat - and drink - and how it influences our health is inescapable.What we hear less about is exactly what's taking place inside the body when nutrition is considered bad or toxic, say ultraprocessed foods like our favorite packaged cookies, chips or frozen pizza, or good and healthy, those whole, methyl-donor-rich leafy veggies, beefs and eggs.If you want a deeper understanding, ask Dana Dolinoy. The answers are in epigenetics, her specialty.As a nutritional and environmental scientist and professor at the School of Public Health, she studies the changes that take place in response to nutrients. Her work digs deep down to the genes and DNA, at the epigenome, where the controls that turn genes on and off are located.Dolinoy is also director of the NIH-supported Michigan Life Stage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center and Michigan Medicine's Epigenomics Core, teams that advance research and understanding of the environmental causes of chronic diseases and conditions. She is also on the team that launched MI-CARES, the Michigan Cancer and Research on the Environment Study, which is recruiting 100,000 Michigan residents to find causes of and solutions to disease. More on the study.As Dolinoy discusses in this episode of Michigan Minds, epigenetics, "is actually a relatively new science. The term was first coined in the 1950s as a way to talk about the intersections of our genes in the environment."Michigan Minds is produced by Greta Guest and hosted by Michigan News staff.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Dr. Marschall Runge, Dean of the University of Michigan Medical School and CEO of Michigan Medicine. Together, they explore the systemic challenges facing the American healthcare system and discuss the optimistic future outlined in Dr. Runge’s new book, The Great Healthcare Disruption. The conversation dives deep into the "corporatization" of medicine, where insurance companies and administrative costs often take precedence over the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Runge highlights a startling statistic: while the U.S. spends the most on healthcare globally, it ranks roughly 60th in "healthy average life expectancy." They discuss potential solutions, including shifting focus toward prevention, learning from international models like Singapore and Denmark, and restoring the fundamental trust between physicians and their patients. Key Topics Covered: The Efficiency Gap: Comparing the 16% administrative costs of private insurance to the 2% cost of Medicare. The Preventive Approach: How lifestyle factors, nutrition, and social policy impact long-term health outcomes. AI in Healthcare: The double-edged sword of AI being used by insurance companies to drive high denial rates. The Primary Care Shortage: Why the U.S. has fewer primary care doctors per capita than almost any other developed nation and how "medical homes" can bridge the gap. Restoring Trust: Moving away from "Reddit-based" medical advice and back to evidence-based care provided by trusted professionals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when a powerhouse research enterprise, a statewide health system, and a relentless push for access all meet at the same table? Our conversation with Dr. David Miller, CEO of Michigan Medicine, opens the door to a candid look at how precision care, digital tools, and financial reality collide—and how smart leadership turns that collision into progress.We dig into the new map of Michigan Medicine: the academic medical center in Ann Arbor, integrated hospitals in Lansing and West Michigan, and partnerships that extend specialty expertise across the state. Then we follow the research-to-care pipeline, from NIH-backed labs to clinical trials to real-world therapies. You'll hear how next-generation sequencing is making targeted cancer treatments more accessible, and why histotripsy—a noninvasive, ultrasound-based approach to treating liver tumors—is a model for bringing breakthroughs from engineering benches to exam rooms.Technology is more than a buzzword here. Dr. Miller explains how generative AI is cutting documentation time with ambient notes, speeding routine approvals, and supporting clinical decisions, all while keeping a human in the loop. We talk training the next wave of physicians to be technology fluent, and how virtual visits and remote monitoring expand access without trading away empathy. On payment and policy, we confront the hard parts: Medicaid churn, prior authorization friction, and the need for value-based insurance design that lowers barriers to high-value care. The throughline is simple and urgent—make it easier for patients to get the right care at the right time, and align incentives so innovation actually reaches people.If you care about healthcare that is precise, humane, and actually reachable, this conversation will give you a practical, hopeful blueprint.
