Can I Moderate? Why This Question Matters More Than We Talk About For most of my recovery journey, I held a pretty firm belief: If you're questioning your drinking, the answer is probably abstinence. That belief came from both lived experience, as well as observing other people who struggle with alcohol. Personally, I never drank normally. From the very first drink, the switch flipped on—and it stayed on. I hit a hard bottom early, and after years of trying to moderate, the answer for me was clear: I could not moderate. As it turned out, for me abstinence meant freedom. And still… Over time, something softened in me. Not because I changed my relationship with alcohol—but because I started listening more closely to other people's experiences. The Question Everyone Has to Answer for Themselves I've come to believe this: "Can I moderate?" is not a denial question. It's a developmental one. For many people, it's the pivot point of their entire recovery journey. Some people answer it quickly. Some answer it painfully. Some don't answer it until years—sometimes decades—later. But skipping the question doesn't make it disappear. And that's why my conversation with Nick Allen, CEO and co-founder of Sunnyside, felt so important. Nick grew up in an AA household. Both of his parents are in long-term recovery. He understands abstinence deeply—and still, his own relationship with alcohol took a different path. Instead of waiting for a crisis, he began asking a quieter question early on: What does a healthy relationship with alcohol look like for me—right now? That question eventually became Sunnyside: a platform designed to help people explore change before things fall apart. The Missing Middle Here's the reality I see again and again: Most people are offered two options: Figure it out Quit forever And when those are the only choices on the table, a huge number of people choose to keep trying to figure it out. Not because they're reckless. Not because they don't care. But because abstinence can feel overwhelming, stigmatizing, or premature—especially for people who are still functioning "well enough." Research suggests there's often a 10-year gap between when alcohol becomes a problem and when someone seeks help. Ten years. Think about what happens in ten years: Careers strained Health eroded Relationships damaged Kids absorbing instability they can't name yet Waiting is not neutral. Why Willpower Isn't the Answer One thing Nick and I aligned on immediately: Willpower is a terrible long-term strategy. Willpower is finite. It's lowest at the exact moments people need it most: After a long day During stress At the witching hour (5–7pm) On Fridays when it's "been a week" Sunnyside takes a different approach: Decisions are made ahead of time, when clarity is high Habits are supported with structure, not shame Accountability is externalized, not moralized This is how real behavior change works. A Word About Naltrexone (And Nuance) We also talked openly about naltrexone, a medication that's been FDA-approved for decades to help reduce alcohol cravings. Here's what matters: It doesn't make people sick It doesn't require abstinence It reduces the reward loop that drives compulsive drinking I've had clients use it successfully—particularly high-functioning people who struggled with the "off switch," not daily drinking. But for people earlier in the process—people quietly wondering, "Is this still working for me?"—tools like this can interrupt years of silent suffering. Language Matters More Than We Think One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was about vocabulary. Words like addict, alcoholic, relapse, recovery—they carry weight. For some people, they offer clarity and belonging. For others, they create shame, fear, and avoidance. If the language feels too heavy, people wait. Sunnyside intentionally avoids labels and instead talks about: Alcohol overuse Habit change Awareness Experimentation That shift alone can make change feel possible. Where I Land Now I'm still sober and have no desire to drink again. I still believe abstinence is the right path for most people who struggle with alcohol. And I also believe we need earlier, gentler, more honest entry points into change. The goal of sobriety—or moderation, or reduction—isn't the absence of alcohol. It's: Freedom Health Presence A life that actually works If someone can get there sooner, with less damage along the way, I'm all for it. Action Steps If this resonated, here are a few grounded next steps: Ask the question honestly Is alcohol adding to my life—or quietly taking from it? Move from judgment to curiosity You don't need a label to run an experiment. Plan ahead of cravings Decisions made in advance beat willpower every time. Seek support early Coaching, tracking, community, and medical tools are preventative—not last resorts. Protect what already works If abstinence is serving you, honor that. No need to second-guess stability.

A friendly flow this afternoon, leaning fundamental without being basic.
In this episode, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Jessica Hennessey, cardiologist at NewYork‑Presbyterian and Columbia, about the trend of cozy cardio and how accessible, home‑based movement can support cardiovascular health. Dr. Hennessey explains why moderate‑intensity exercise is both sustainable and effective, offering improvements in cardiovascular function, metabolism, and daily energy levels. The discussion explores the benefits of walking versus running, how heart rate zones help guide workout intensity, and the importance of rest and active recovery. Dr. Hennessey also highlights how movement helps regulate stress and why strength training—especially for women—is essential for long‑term metabolic and bone health. Chapters:Chapter 1: Understanding Cozy Cardio – Convenience, Comfort, and Where it Fits in Heart HealthUnderstanding cozy cardio and how low‑impact movement supports heart health, and how it lowers barriers to exercise and makes movement feel inviting.Chapter 2: Why Moderate Exercise MattersChapter 3: Cozy Doesn't Mean Easy—Just AccessibleChapter 4: Walking vs. Running: Which Is Better for the Heart?Chapter 5: Using Heart Rate to Guide Your WorkoutChapter 6: The Importance of Rest Days and RecoveryChapter 7: HIIT: Benefits, Risks, and When to Use ItChapter 8: Strength Training & Heart Health, Especially for WomenChapter 9: Building a Sustainable Exercise RoutineChapter 10: Final Takeaway Key Topics CoveredWhat cozy cardio is and examplesHow cozy cardio focuses on convenience, comfort and lowering barriers to exercise.Moderate vs. High-Intensity ExerciseHow it can improve VO2 maxAccessibility and sustainability in fitnessWalking vs. runningUsing heart rate as a guide for exerciseThe importance of rest daysExercise as stress reductionHIIT workouts: explanation, benefits and riskStrength training and heart healthBuilding a sustainable routine by choosing activities you enjoy and making movement a natural part of the dayTakeaway MessageMeaningful improvements in cardiovascular health do not require high‑intensity workouts. Moderate, accessible forms of exercise—such as “cozy cardio”—can effectively enhance heart and metabolic function, support stress regulation, and promote long‑term adherence. By prioritizing comfort, sustainability, and consistency, individuals can integrate movement into their daily routines in ways that are both achievable and beneficial for overall health.Expert GuestDr. Jessica Hennessey is an electrophysiologist who specializes in arrhythmia management with a special focus on catheter ablation, pacemakers/defibrillators, and atrial fibrillation at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Dr. Hennessey is also the Esther Aboodi Assistant Professor of Cardiology (in medicine) at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. She is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and cardiac electrophysiology.For more health and wellness news, visit NewYork-Presbyterian's Health Matters website.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, the first woman to hold the office, is just weeks into her first term and already facing a high-velocity legislative session under unified Democratic control. As lawmakers move quickly on long-standing priorities, can the self-described moderate governor hold Virginia's political “purple” center, or will progressives pull the state left? As the 2026 midterms approach, could Virginia offer an early preview of how governing realities collide with electoral politics? Featuring Public Strategies' Howard Schweitzer (DC), Julia Hammond (VA), and Heidi Hertz (VA).
In this episode, Chuck Todd reacts to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, then examines the political shockwaves rippling through Washington after Donald Trump’s controversial and widely condemned post about the Obamas, placing it within the broader context of Trump’s long history of racial controversies and growing unease inside his own coalition. As criticism emerges from Republican lawmakers, conservative legal voices, and even Olympic athletes, Todd explores signs that Trump’s influence may be weakening—fueled by internal party fractures, controversial foreign policy moves, and a leadership circle increasingly insulating him from reality. With a surge of congressional retirements, warning signs from special elections, and historical trends favoring the opposition party, the conversation turns to whether Republicans are heading toward a major electoral setback—and whether worsening controversies, including ongoing fallout from Epstein-related revelations, could further reshape the political landscape before November. Then, former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership. Emanuel makes the case that education and vocational training remain the clearest pathway to the middle class, warns about declining reading proficiency, and examines what schools must do to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. He also explores how both parties lost their way on education, why fundamentals matter, and what voters are really demanding from the system. The discussion then turns sharply to politics, power, and the health of American institutions. Emanuel weighs in on Trump-era controversies, Congress’s weakened role, and concerns about election integrity and the post-election environment. He outlines how Democrats can rebuild a winning coalition by welcoming independents and former Republicans, focusing on economic fairness, and preparing for a potential 2026 wave election. The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy? Finally, Chuck comments on the fallout from the mass layoffs at the Washington Post, hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the history of the Iranian revolution and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Episode 211: Understanding HFpEF. Hyo Mun and Jordan Redden (medical students) explain the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and how it differentiates from HFrEF. Dr. Arreaza asks insightful questions and summarizes some key elements of HFpEF. Written by Hyo Mun, MS4, American University of the Caribbean; and Jordan Redden, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.What is EF? Just imagine, the heart is a pump, blood gets into the heart through the veins, the ventricles fill up and then squeeze the blood out. So, the percent of blood that is pumped out is the EF. Let's start at the beginning. What is HFpEF?Mike: HFpEF stands for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Basically, these patients squeeze normally—their ejection fraction is 50% or higher—but here's the thing: the heart can't relax and fill the way it should. The muscle gets stiff, almost like a thick leather boot that just won't stretch. And because the ventricle can't fill properly, pressure starts backing up into the lungs and the rest of the body. That's when patients start experiencing shortness of breath, leg swelling, fatigue—all those classic symptoms.Dr. Arreaza: And this is where people get fooled by the ejection fraction.Mike: Exactly. The ejectionfraction tells you total left ventricular emptying, not just forward flow.Jordan: The classic example is severe mitral regurgitation. You can eject 60% of your blood volume and still be in cardiogenic shock because most of that blood is leaking backward into the left atrium instead of going into the aorta. So, you get pulmonary edema, hypotension, fatigue, all with a “normal” EF. Which is honestly terrifying if you're over-relying on echo reports without thinking clinically.Dr. Arreaza: And in HFpEF, functional mitral regurgitation often shows up later in the disease. It's not usually the primary cause; it's more of a marker of advanced disease. Moderate to severe MR in HFpEF independently predicts worse outcomes, including a higher risk of mortality or heart failure hospitalization. So, let's contrast this with HFrEF. How are these two different?Mike: HFrEF—heart failure with reduced ejection fraction—is a pumping problem. The heart muscle is weak and can't contracteffectively. Ejection fraction drops below 40%, and this is your classic systolic dysfunction.Jordan: HFpEF, on the other hand, is diastolic dysfunction. The heart muscle is thick, fibrotic, and noncompliant. It squeezes fine, but it just doesn't relax, even though the EF looks reassuring on paper.Mike: I like to explain it this way: HFrEF is a weak heart that can't squeeze. HFpEF is a stiff heart that can't relax. Totally different problems.Dr. Arreaza: And then there's the gray zone: heart failure with mildly reduced EF, or HFmrEF. That's an EF between 41 and 49% with evidence of elevated filling pressures. It really shares the features of both worlds. So, what actually causes HFpEF versus HFrEF?Jordan: HFpEF is basically what happens when all the problems of modern living catch up with you. You've got chronic hypertension, obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, aging, systemic inflammation—all of these things slowly remodel the heart over years. The muscle gets thick and stiff, and eventually the ventricle just loses its ability to relax. So, HFpEF is really a disease of metabolic dysfunction and chronic stress in the heart. Mike: HFrEF is more about direct injury. Think about myocardial infarctions, ischemic cardiomyopathy, viral myocarditis, alcohol toxicity, chemotherapy like doxorubicin, genetic cardiomyopathies, or chronic uncontrolled tachycardia. These insults actually damage or kill heart muscle cells, leading to a dilated, weak ventricle that can't pump effectively.Dr. Arreaza: So the short version: HFpEF is caused by chronic metabolic and hypertensive stress, while HFrEF is caused mainly by myocardial damage. A question we get a lot: does HFpEF eventually turn into HFrEF? What do you guys think?Mike: In most cases, no. HFpEF patients usually stay HFpEF throughout their disease course. They don't just “burn out” and turn into HFrEF.Jordan: They're generally separate disease entities with different pathophysiology. A patient with HFpEF can develop HFrEF if they have a big myocardial infarction or ongoing ischemia that damages the muscle, but that's not the natural progression.Mike: Interestingly though, the opposite can happen. Some HFrEF patients actually improve their ejection fraction with good medical therapy—that's called HF with improved EF—and it's a great sign that treatment is working.Dr. Arreaza: Another question. How do HFpEF and HFrEF compare to restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis?Jordan: Clinically, they can all look very similar: dyspnea, edema, fatigue, but the underlying mechanisms are completely different.Mike: In HFpEF, the myocardium itself is stiff from hypertrophy and fibrosis. The problem is intrinsic to the heart muscle, and EF stays preserved. Echoshows diastolic dysfunction with elevated filling pressures.Jordan: In HFrEF, the myocardium is weak. The ventricle is often dilated and contracts poorly, with a reduced EF.Mike: Restrictive cardiomyopathy is different. Here, the myocardium gets infiltrated by abnormal stuff—amyloid, iron, sarcoid—and that makes it extremely stiff. It can look like HFpEF on the surface, but it's usually more severe. On Echo You'll see biatrial enlargement, small ventricles, and preserved EF. And importantly, it's a pathologic diagnosis, so you need advanced imaging or biopsy to confirm it.Jordan: Constrictive pericarditis is another mimic, but here the myocardium is usually normal. The problem is that the pericardium is thickened, calcified, and rigid. This will physically prevent the heart from being filled. Imaging shows pericardial thickening, septal bounce, and respiratory variation in flow, and cath shows equalization of diastolic pressures, which is the hallmark of constrictive pericarditis.Dr. Arreaza: So the takeaway is: HFpEF is a clinical syndrome driven by common metabolic and hypertensive causes, while restrictive and constrictive diseases are specific pathologic entities. If “HFpEF” is unusually severe or not responding to treatment, you need to think beyond HFpEF. Which type of heart failure is more common right now?Mike: Good question, the answer is: HFpEF. It now accounts for up to 60% of all heart failure cases, and it's still rising.Dr. Arreaza: Why is that?Jordan: Because people are living longer, gaining weight, and developing more metabolic syndrome. HFpEF thrives in older, or people with obesity, hypertension, or diabetes: basically, the modern American population. At the same time, better treatment of acute MIs means fewer people are developing HFrEF from massive heart attacks.Mike: HFpEF is the heart failure epidemic of the 21st century. It's honestly the cardiology equivalent of type 2 diabetes.Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk aboutCOVID-19. (2025 and still talking about it) Does it actually increase heart failure risk?Mike: Yes, absolutely. COVID increases both acute and long-term heart failure risk.Jordan: During acute infection, COVID can cause myocarditis, trigger massive inflammation, and precipitate acute decompensated heart failure, especially in patients with pre-existing disease. It also causes microthrombi, which can injure the myocardium.Mike: And after infection, even mild cases are linked to a significantly higher risk of developing new heart failure within the following year. Both HFpEF and HFrEF rates go up.Dr. Arreaza: I remember seeing this in 2021, we had a patient with acute COVID and HFrEF, her EF was about 10%, I lost contact with the patient and at the end I don't know what happened to her. What's the pathophysiology of COVID and heart failure?Mike: COVID causes direct viral injury through ACE2 receptors, triggers massive inflammation that damages the endothelium and heart muscle, leads to microvascular clotting and fibrosis—all mechanisms that promote HFpEF.Jordan: Add autonomic dysfunction, persistent low-grade inflammation, and worsening metabolic syndrome, and you've got a perfect storm for heart failure.Dr. Arreaza: Bottom line: COVID is a cardiovascular disease as much as a respiratory one. If someone had COVID and now has unexplained dyspnea or fatigue, think about heart failure. Get an echo, get a BNP, start treatment. Last big question: why did we have so many therapies for HFrEF but essentially none for HFpEF for years?Mike: HFrEF is mechanistically straightforward. You've got a weak heart with excessive neurohormonal activation going on — so you block RAAS, block the sympathetic system, drop the afterload. The drugs make sense.Jordan: HFpEF is messy. It's not one disease. It's stiffness, fibrosis, inflammation, microvascular dysfunction, metabolic disease, atrial fibrillation, all overlapping. One drug can't fix all of that.Mike: And some drugs that worked beautifully in HFrEF actually made HFpEF worse. Take Beta blockers, for example. They slow heart rate, which is a problem because HFpEF patients rely on heart rate to maintain their cardiac output.Jordan: The breakthrough came with SGLT-2 inhibitors: diabetes drugs that unexpectedly addressed multiple HFpEF mechanisms at once: volume, metabolism, inflammation, and myocardial energetics.Dr. Arreaza: The miracle drug for HFpEF! Alright, let's wrap up.Mike: Bottom line: HFpEF is common, complex, and dangerous: even if the EF looks “normal.”Jordan: And if you're relying on ejection fraction alone, HFpEF will humble you every time.Dr. Arreaza: If you liked this episode, share it with a friend or a colleague and rate us wherever you listen.

A surprising new name entered California governor's race this week: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan. The media and donor class are already branding him as a more “sensible” Democrat, but a closer look shows he's far from the moderate he pretends to be. David Johnson, chairman of the Santa Clara County Republican Party, joins us to expose Mahan's troubling record on taxes, crime, and homelessness. Steve also breaks down California's proposed “mileage tax” and how it would hit working-class families hardest to satisfy climate ideologues. And Susan Shelley joins the show to cover Dr. Oz's investigation into the LA hospice system, a city councilman on trial for corruption, and the absurd reason Los Angeles stopped repaving its streets.

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
On this podcast episode, I discuss important practice pearls and important test prep information about statins. Statins are cornerstone agents for ASCVD risk reduction, so test questions often focus on indication, intensity, and monitoring. Health care professionals should quickly identify statin intensity: high-intensity therapy (atorvastatin 40–80 mg, rosuvastatin 20–40 mg) lowers LDL by ~50% and is indicated for patients with clinical ASCVD, LDL ≥190 mg/dL, or high-risk diabetes patients age 40–75. Moderate-intensity statins (e.g., atorvastatin 10–20 mg, simvastatin 20–40 mg) are commonly tested for primary prevention. Statin-associated muscle symptoms range from myalgias (most common, normal CK) to rare but serious rhabdomyolysis (marked CK elevation and AKI). Risk factors include high doses, advanced age, hypothyroidism, drug interactions, and renal impairment. If muscle symptoms occur, stopping the statin, ruling out secondary causes (like hypothyroidism), and rechallenging with a lower dose or different statin is often the correct clinical approach. Drug interactions and statin selection frequently separate good from great test-takers. Lipophilic statins (simvastatin, atorvastatin, lovastatin) are more prone to muscle effects and CYP3A4 interactions, while hydrophilic statins (pravastatin, rosuvastatin) are preferred in patients with prior intolerance or complex drug regimens. Grapefruit juice, strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and certain calcium channel blockers raise simvastatin levels—often prompting dose limits or avoidance on exams. If LDL goals aren’t met, adding ezetimibe or a PCSK9 inhibitor is the next evidence-based step. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!

This is a partial follow-up to AISLE discovered three new OpenSSL vulnerabilities from October 2025. TL;DR: OpenSSL is among the most scrutinized and audited cryptographic libraries on the planet, underpinning encryption for most of the internet. They just announced 12 new zero-day vulnerabilities (meaning previously unknown to maintainers at time of disclosure). We at AISLE discovered all 12 using our AI system. This is a historically unusual count and the first real-world demonstration of AI-based cybersecurity at this scale. Meanwhile, curl just cancelled its bug bounty program due to a flood of AI-generated spam, even as we reported 5 genuine CVEs to them. AI is simultaneously collapsing the median ("slop") and raising the ceiling (real zero-days in critical infrastructure). Background We at AISLE have been building an automated AI system for deep cybersecurity discovery and remediation, sometimes operating in bug bounties under the pseudonym Giant Anteater. Our goal was to turn what used to be an elite, artisanal hacker craft into a repeatable industrial process. We do this to secure the software infrastructure of human civilization before strong AI systems become ubiquitous. Prosaically, we want to make sure we don't get hacked into oblivion the moment they come online.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why stubborn belly fat is not a calorie issue or a willpower problem but a visceral fat problem driven by inflammation, stress hormones, and faulty metabolic signals. Ben explains the critical difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat and why traditional approaches like excessive cardio, crunches, caloric restriction, and chronic OMAD fail to eliminate deep belly fat. Drawing on over 200 years of Japanese metabolic wisdom, he shares a simple yet powerful three-pillar approach to melting visceral fat naturally: Deeply colored foods that activate fat-burning genes Green tea catechins that increase fat oxidation and block fat absorption Moderate-intensity movement using the 75% talk-test rule You'll also learn: How to identify visceral fat with a simple self-test Why bottled green tea sabotages fat loss Why fat loss is about signals, not discipline How “thin on the outside, fat on the inside” (TOFI) applies to many people How fast visceral fat can drop once the right signals are restored This episode delivers a clear, actionable plan to reduce inflammation, protect metabolism, and restore your body's natural fat-burning ability without starvation or punishment.
The Paychex Business Series Podcast with Gene Marks - Coronavirus
As the deadline arrives this week for the credit card industry to implement White House demands to cap credit card interest rates, Gene Marks shares that there is no outline of a plan of how this might be handled. He also says there are mixed reviews as to how this could impact small businesses, especially around cash flow. A report about workplace flexibility shows mothers taking the brunt, but Gene suggests businesses need transparency and to work with employees to find a balance. Also, consumer prices are up 2.7% year over year, but inflation remains moderate. Listen to the podcast.

As the country hurtles toward the 2026 midterms, Chuck Todd breaks down why winning in this moment may be more about margins than movements—and why messaging is about to get brutally hard. With a fragmented, exhausted electorate and a president acting emboldened despite weak political standing, Democrats face a defining choice: run as resistance to Donald Trump or position themselves as problem-solvers ready to turn the page. History suggests forward-looking messages work best, especially with independents who vote in self-interest and are tired of constant political warfare, even as Trump continues to dominate GOP primaries and sideline Congress. The conversation also looks at why Republicans’ razor-thin majority leaves them unable to govern, how Trump’s grip on the party could backfire in a general election, and why Democrats are increasingly optimistic about putting the Senate in play—with strong recruiting wins and favorable midterm math. New polling on the Renee Good shooting and ICE shows Trump-aligned tactics playing poorly outside the MAGA base, particularly with independents and women, underscoring just how volatile—and opportunity-rich—the political landscape could be heading into 2026. Then, Jon Slavet, a tech entrepreneur and Republican candidate for California governor, joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss why he's entering one of the nation's most challenging political races. Slavet argues that while national politics dominates headlines, state and local governance has far more impact on people's daily lives—yet California's local politics receives inadequate attention despite intense interest from outsiders. He advocates for radical transparency in government, criticizing the use of NDAs in taxpayer-funded projects and calling out the influence of union spending. Addressing his controversial pursuit of Trump's endorsement despite never voting for him, Slavet positions himself as someone who sees Trump as an effective disrupter but not a builder, and he aligns with the administration on housing policy, particularly prioritizing temporary shelter over California's $1 million-per-unit permanent housing approach. Running as a Republican in deep-blue California, Slavet believes the state's pleasant weather has masked serious problems affecting middle and lower-income residents while the wealthy thrive. He proposes declaring an "affordability emergency" on day one, scrapping the high-speed rail project, and using AI to root out the billions lost to waste and fraud in California's healthcare system. Slavet defends his decision to run as a Republican rather than an independent, arguing that party identification remains essential for effectiveness despite his moderate positions on social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion. He contends that polls show half of Californians would support the "right kind" of Republican, and he's betting his business success and willingness to challenge both parties' orthodoxies will resonate with voters frustrated by the state's affordability crisis and regulatory burdens on small businesses.

Jon Slavet, a tech entrepreneur and Republican candidate for California governor, joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss why he's entering one of the nation's most challenging political races. Slavet argues that while national politics dominates headlines, state and local governance has far more impact on people's daily lives—yet California's local politics receives inadequate attention despite intense interest from outsiders. He advocates for radical transparency in government, criticizing the use of NDAs in taxpayer-funded projects and calling out the influence of union spending. Addressing his controversial pursuit of Trump's endorsement despite never voting for him, Slavet positions himself as someone who sees Trump as an effective disrupter but not a builder, and he aligns with the administration on housing policy, particularly prioritizing temporary shelter over California's $1 million-per-unit permanent housing approach. Running as a Republican in deep-blue California, Slavet believes the state's pleasant weather has masked serious problems affecting middle and lower-income residents while the wealthy thrive. He proposes declaring an "affordability emergency" on day one, scrapping the high-speed rail project, and using AI to root out the billions lost to waste and fraud in California's healthcare system. Slavet defends his decision to run as a Republican rather than an independent, arguing that party identification remains essential for effectiveness despite his moderate positions on social issues like same-sex marriage and abortion. He contends that polls show half of Californians would support the "right kind" of Republican, and he's betting his business success and willingness to challenge both parties' orthodoxies will resonate with voters frustrated by the state's affordability crisis and regulatory burdens on small businesses.

Full shownotes, transcript and resources here: https://soundbitesrd.com/302 The health risks of heavy drinking are well-established. But what about the health risks of light to moderate drinking? More people, especially the Gen Z population, are leaning toward moderation of alcohol intake rather than going completely dry, shifting the popular "Dry January" challenge toward more of a "Damp January" trend. While the role of alcohol in health-related outcomes is complex and nuanced, a new meta-analysis of 23 major studies from 2000 to 2024 found that light-to-moderate drinking carries the same – or in some cases lower – risk of death compared to abstaining, while lifestyle factors like diet and exercise play a huge role in outcomes. Likewise, a new report published in September sheds light on alcohol and health including WHO data showing reductions in alcohol-related morbidity and mortality with many countries on track to meet targets for reducing harmful drinking. Tune in to this episode with guest Jennifer Tujague, MPH, to learn about: · the different and conflicting reports on alcohol intake and recommendations · the research on alcohol consumption and health · how moderation is defined · different drinking patterns and associated risks · combined effects of obesity and alcohol · alcohol and weight · GLP-1s and alcohol · Non-alcoholic beverages · The Damp January trend · resources for health professionals and the public
A great pace and vibe to this quiet little class today. Merry Christmas, every one.

Marshall and Oliver discuss his post-2024 Strong Floor, No Ceiling framework: a strong floor below which Americans shouldn't fall (healthcare, education, work, housing, opportunity), and no ceiling on aspiration and growth (with rules), why Americans are giving up on the American dream, what a successful national service program would look like (and why previous versions failed to meet their promise), how wealth and power stress the social contract, and why an alternative to MAGA hasn't arrived yet.
PREVIEW: Jonathan Schanzer describes Syrian leader Al-Sharaa as a "wolf in sheep's clothing," comparing him to Yasser Arafat for pretending to be a moderate while directing violence. Schanzer warns that Al-Sharaa, a jihadist whose forces murdered US personnel, is untrustworthy and operates strictly from a terrorist playbook.
New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill—Naval Academy grad, former helicopter pilot, mom of four and one of America's most important rising leaders—joins Paul just one day before the Army-Navy game to talk about service, courage and standing up to Donald Trump in real time. She explains why Trump's rush toward a war with Venezuela is “almost incomprehensible,” why the mounting evidence of war crimes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is so dangerous for the military, and how veterans like Sherrill and Senator Mark Kelly are pushing back and reminding troops they must follow the law and the Constitution—not illegal orders. Sherrill breaks down how she won New Jersey, why independents trusted her to freeze utility rate hikes on day one, and what servant leadership looks like when you've actually worn the uniform and still shop at Costco, order Halloween costumes online, and worry about your kids' mental health like everyone else. She and Paul dig into the pressure Trump is putting on the Guard, the stakes for governors like Wes Moore and Sherrill if deployments expand, and why this moment demands governors who understand national security, not partisan theatrics. It's Football Friday, so Paul and Governor-Elect Sherrill also make NFL picks, trash-talk each other over Army-Navy, and preview next year's Army-Navy Game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey—with Sherrill promising to “do it up right” as host and unapologetic Navy fan. Plus: Paul's “dad hack” Christmas-tree clapper tip, Sherrill's “something good” about seeing her midshipmen in Baltimore, and why this episode is a blueprint for how veterans can still rise, lead and win in a Trump-dominated era. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

This class had a great arc to it, real soft on the ends while strong and challenging through the middle. Lots of twists.
Send us a textDr. Shalini Ojha, Professor of Neonatal Medicine at University of Nottingham, presents the Feed One trial examining full enteral feeding (60 mL/kg/day) from day one versus gradual advancement in 30-32 week infants. While the primary outcome of hospital length of stay showed no difference (median 32 days), full feeding significantly reduced parenteral nutrition use, IV cannulations, and associated interventions without increasing necrotizing enterocolitis risk (4 versus 6 cases). This pragmatic trial challenges the unfounded fear that early full feeding causes NEC—demonstrating that moderate preterm infants can safely receive complete enteral nutrition from birth, simplifying care particularly in resource-limited settings while avoiding complications from IV access and parenteral nutrition.

Send us a textDr. Louise Owen from Royal Women's Hospital Melbourne presents the AEROPLANE trial comparing 21% versus 30% oxygen for 32-35 week infants at birth. This understudied cohort represents 80% of preterm births globally. Using cluster randomization with waived consent, the trial captured real-world practice across centers. Infants receiving 30% oxygen required less delivery room intervention including assisted ventilation, intubation, and chest compressions. Three-quarters of infants needing initial support continued requiring respiratory support beyond delivery. Both groups ultimately received average oxygen in the 50s, suggesting moderate preterm infants may behave more like very preterm rather than term babies regarding oxygen needs.

Progressive and centrist Democratic candidates had big wins in the 2025 elections. On this week's On the Media, a data scientist fact-checks the claim that Democrats need moderate voters to win. Plus, an Arizona state senator shares how she's reaching her constituents on TikTok and on the ground.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with G. Elliot Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, to hash out what the data says about whether becoming more moderate is really the key to Democratic candidates winning more elections.[20:09] Brooke chats with Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, a center-left think tank, about his view that Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City poses a “serious political problem” for the Democrats.[36:06] Finally, Brooke calls up Analise Ortiz, state senator for Arizona's 24th district, to discuss how TikTok, old-fashioned door-knocking, and making tangible differences in peoples' lives is the way for the Democrats to start winning again.
