On this week's Saturday show, Mike delivers a double-dose of Iran-focused analysis, starting with a sharp critique of the Western media's bizarre framing of assassinated Iranian leader Ali Larijani as a "pragmatic" peacemaker rather than an active enemy combatant. Then, we open the vault to revisit June 2019, unpacking the chaotic fallout after President Trump abruptly called off a retaliatory strike on Iran, and demonstrating how bluster and impatience can easily drag the U.S. into the dangerous territory of an "undecided war."

SEG 9: Joseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg, a Wall Street Journal editorial board member, analyzes the stalling of European right-wing populism. He observes voters in the UK, Germany, and Hungary rejecting insurgent parties in favor of moderate, centrist leadership movements. (10)1772 LONDON
Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Derek Hunter. The show digs into the 2026 war with Iran, a critique of media "elites," and a reflection on the shifting tides of American foreign policy and cultural resilience. The New York Times' skepticism regarding Israel's "decapitation" strategy against Iranian leadership is debunked with historical parallels to the fall of the Nazi regime. Dean pulls no punches on the resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the "trust policies" of Fairfax County that he argues are endangering citizens, and the curious silence of the "Arab Street" as Iran's proxies face dismantling. The episode rounds out with a cultural critique — moving from the "woke" re-branding of Texas Democrats to the aspirational, colorblind philosophy of Star Trek's original series. It's a masterclass in connecting historical precedent to the chaotic reality of 2026. The Iran Conflict: Why "decapitating" leadership works and why the media is desperate to find "pragmatic" terrorists. NATO & The "Ugly American": A look at France and Ireland's critiques of U.S. policy and why Dean agrees with Lord Palmerston that nations have no permanent allies, just permanent interests. Domestic Security: The tragic murder of Stephanie Minter and the "trust policies" hampering law enforcement. Star Trek Philosophy: What Kirk, Uhura, and Lincoln can teach us about not fearing words in a hypersensitive age.

Metabolic flexibility is your body's ability to efficiently burn fat or carbohydrate depending on demand, may be one of the most important and least understood markers of long-term health. In this episode, I'm with Dr. Martin Gibala to explore the emerging science of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality is central to both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training produces comparable mitochondrial adaptations to traditional endurance work in a fraction of the time. Could the key to better metabolic health be less about the hours you log and more about how hard you're willing to push?Want ad-free episodes?

If you spend your days auditing charts, you've seen it: diagnoses are listed, medications are “continued as prescribed,” and a plan is documented — yet something important is missing. In this episode of CodeCast, Terry explains how small documentation improvements can make medical decision making (MDM) clearer and more defensible. Learn how generic or repetitive macro phrases can unintentionally invite payer scrutiny, and what clinicians can do to better reflect the true complexity of the encounter. With payers increasingly using AI tools to review and downcode E/M services, clear documentation is more critical than ever. Every note should answer the essential question: Why is the patient here today? Tune in for practical tips to strengthen your documentation and reduce audit risk.

As the war in the Middle East continues to rage, Ben Luke speaks to The Art Newspaper's reporter on Iran and other countries in the region, Sarvy Geranpayeh, about the response of cultural communities in Iran and Lebanon, and the damage to heritage in both countries. The latest edition of the Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report has been published and shows that the market has returned to growth. But the details show a more complicated story, which Ben explores with the writer of the report, Clare McAndrew. And this episode's Work of the Week is VOLUME (III – White Bay Power Station, Australia) a new work by the Indigenous American artist Cannupa Hanska Luger. This sculpture and sound installation featuring seven ceramic dingo skulls is part of the latest edition of the Sydney Biennale in Australia, and has gained an unintended topicality due to a recent tragedy involving the death of a backpacker in Queensland. Ben speaks to our reporter in Australia, Elizabeth Fortescue, about the work and the wider context.Rememory: the 25th Biennale of Sydney, 14 March-14 JuneSave up to 50% on The Art Newspaper's annual print and digital package with a new limited-time offer.

White crust tracing your waterline or caking your spa spillway isn't a mystery—it's chemistry meeting heat and evaporation. We unpack what's actually sticking to your tile, how to tell calcium carbonate from calcium silicate with a quick acid test, and why that difference changes everything for removal time, cost, and results. If you've ever cleaned for hours only to see the ring return, this is your field guide to fixing the source and not just the symptom.We start with the real drivers: LSI balance, high pH and alkalinity, rising water temperature, and hard fill water. Then we map a decision tree for action. Light carbonate haze? Use topical tile cleaners like Biodex 300 or Hasa Geyser, brush often, and protect coping and plaster. Moderate buildup? Add chelation and sequestration with Orenda SC-1000 to bind calcium and metals, and consider EasyCare Buildup and Scale Tec on surfaces to lift deposits for easier brushing. Heavy crust or zero reaction to acid? It's likely silicate—skip the endless scrubbing and plan for professional bead blasting or soda media blasting to restore the tile fast and clean.We also get tactical about manual methods that actually work when used right. Pumice is slow but safe on porcelain. Sharp razor blades, kept wet, can peel thick spillway scale quickly. Fine 400-grit wet/dry sandpaper can level stubborn ridges, with a careful hand. Prevention ties it all together: keep LSI in a non-scaling range, dose SC-1000 for maintenance, and brush the waterline weekly. If chronic scale still wins in hard-water regions, a device like AquaRex can reduce adhesion by changing crystal formation, especially on hot, wet spillways.• causes of scale from high pH, alkalinity, calcium and heat• acid test to distinguish carbonate vs silicate• light, moderate, heavy carbonate levels and fixes• topical cleaners and safe handling cautions• sequestrants and chelants for ongoing control• manual removal with pumice, razors, wet sanding• when to hire glass bead blasting• balancing LSI for prevention• tile materiSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In episode 114, we sit down with Dr. Verena Haun, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Würzburg, to explore a question many of us feel every Friday afternoon: Why is it sometimes easy to switch off from work—and other times almost impossible?Drawing on a multi‑week study of more than 150 employees, Dr. Haun's research uncovers three distinct patterns of psychological detachment across weekends:* High and increasing detachment, where people start off disengaged and unwind even more.* Moderate but improving detachment, where people slowly let go of work and ultimately feel most energized by Monday.* Consistently low detachment, where work lingers mentally all weekend long.We discuss why some people struggle to mentally switch off, how unfinished tasks and unresolved problems make detachment more difficult, and why problem‑solving conversations on Friday nights—not supplemental work—predict healthier recovery patterns. You can find Dr. Haun here (https://www.psychologie.uni-wuerzburg.de/ao/team/prof-dr-verena-c-haun/)You can find the paper published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology here (https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-99066-001.html) This is a public episode.

Labour is too scared of losing Muslim voters to address Islamist extremism.That's according to Fiyaz Mughal, the counter-terrorism expert who left the Home Office over concerns it was overlooking radicalisation in the Muslim community for fear of appearing Islamophobic.A moderate Muslim himself, Fiyaz tells Camilla that failed integration has bred ghettoisation of Muslim communities, and how a formal definition of Islamophobia will be “misused by malign actors to curtail free speech”.A Home Office spokesman said: “The Government regularly works with external partners and experts to discuss policy ideas, as broad consultation is an important part of responsible policy development.“The UK has one of the most robust counter-terrorism frameworks in the world with the powers needed for the security services and police to keep us safe.”We want to hear from you!

James Talarico wants Texans to believe he’s suddenly a moderate. The Democrat now running for U.S. Senate in Texas is trying to reinvent himself for a statewide audience. But the problem with reinvention is the internet has a memory. Tonight on Stinchfield, we go to the archives and pull the receipts. From radical policy positions to the kind of rhetoric that would make the far left proud, the real James Talarico is very different from the rebranded version now asking Texans for their vote. We’ll show you exactly what he’s said and why the sudden “moderate makeover” should raise serious questions. Plus, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz finds himself on the hot seat in Congress, and the performance was… painful. Testifying before lawmakers, Walz looked completely out of his depth—dodging questions, stumbling through answers, and struggling to defend the record that made him a darling of the left. Watching it unfold makes one thing crystal clear: America is very lucky this man is not sitting a heartbeat away from the presidency. It’s all ahead on Stinchfield—where the spin stops and the truth comes out.
Democrats are trying to sell James Talarico as the “reasonable moderate” who can flip Texas—but Morning Joe accidentally admitted the truth: he’s a progressive populist with the same positions as Jasmine Crockett. In this breakdown, we expose who’s “casting” him as moderate (hint: the media), trace the Bernie-county playbook, and pull the receipts on his radical worldview—on faith, prisons, gender ideology, and women’s sports. Don’t fall for the rebrand.

The Democrats have their "star" of the 2026 cycle, Texas senate nominee James Talarico, who is here to provide a "Christian" and "moderate" spin on the party. But the reality is, Talarico isn't moderate, he's just white. The show dives into the dark truth about the new Democrat standardbearer, and talks to Steve Toth about Texas's other primary outcomes, starting with his upset of Dan Crenshaw. Two TPUSA students describe how young people are reacting to the Iran war, while retired Admiral Bob Harward gives his optimistic take on the tactical situation there.

Science of Spirituality PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST1. Why We Choke Under PressureChoking occurs when extreme stakes overload the brain's motor system. Research shows:* Large “jackpot” rewards (e.g., Olympic gold) can push neural activity past the optimal preparation zone.* Explicit monitoring (thinking step-by-step about an automated skill) disrupts fluid performance.* Moderate pressure improves performance, but excessive pressure impairs it.* Choking is often linked more to inadequate preparation than lack of talent.2. Three Science-Based Ways to Reduce Choking* Train under pressure (e.g., videotaped practice) to desensitize anxiety.* Shift attention outward if you're an expert (focus on rhythm, target, counting backward) to let automatic systems run.* Novices should instead focus on one simple cue, not the entire process.* Reframe the stakes — focus on process over outcome to prevent mental overload.3. Olympic Gold Medal Lessons: Team Chemistry & Inner WisdomTwo Olympic examples illustrate vitality principles:* U.S. Hockey Team: Built intentionally for chemistry and grit (“F-150 pickup trucks,” not Ferraris). Cohesion > raw star power.* Alysa Liu (Figure Skating): Won gold after burnout by reclaiming autonomy, joy, and intrinsic motivation. She ignored medal pressure and focused on artistry.Lesson:* Teams win through cohesion and resilience.* Individuals win when they align performance with authentic purpose and joy.4. The Vitality Zones & the 60-Day Vital SprintDr. Mishra introduces four zones:* Vitality Zone (energized, purposeful)* Surviving Zone (functional but unfulfilled)* Sliding Zone (declining habits)* Burnout Zone (exhausted, depleted)The 60-day sprint focuses on improving:* Physical vitality (exercise, sleep regularity, proprioception, inflammation control)* Mental vitality (focus training, limiting mind wandering)* Social vitality (cultivating closeness)* Spiritual vitality (serving something larger than oneself)5. Core Vitality Levers Backed by DataKey evidence-based takeaways:* 15–20 minutes of daily exercise reduces mortality and inflammation.* Sleep regularity may matter more than duration.* hsCRP (inflammation marker) may predict heart disease better than cholesterol.* Two to three cups of caffeinated coffee or tea daily are linked to lower dementia risk.* A wandering mind reduces happiness; focused attention increases well-being.* Purpose and closeness are modifiable assets strongly tied to longevity.* Spirituality (belief in something larger than self) supports mental health.Elite execution requires preparation, calibrated pressure, authentic motivation, and alignment across physical, mental, social, and spiritual domains.Dare to Be Vital.

In this episode, host Michael dives into the controversy surrounding the 2020 census, specifically the Census Bureau's use of differential privacy and whole person imputation. He discusses the landmark lawsuit, USFCR vs. Lutnik, and the allegations of a manipulated census count. Michael breaks down the two main issues: how the Census Bureau decided who gets counted when it couldn't find them, and how they decided what numbers to publish. He also touches on the implications of this on the electoral college count and federal funding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada is nobody's idea of a partisan firebrand. She's a moderate, swing-state Democrat with a résumé steeped in law enforcement — all of which makes her an unlikely leader of the Democratic-led shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, which has now entered its sixth day.But over the past few months, Senator Cortez Masto said she was horrified by the conduct of federal immigration enforcement agents in her own state and across the country. By last week, she and many of her Democratic colleagues in the Senate decided to act on their outrage.In an interview with her on “The Daily,” Senator Cortez Masto talks about why she decided to support withholding homeland security funding, the political perils for her party in blocking that funding and why she believes most Americans support the strategy.Guest: Catherine Cortez Masto of NevadaBackground reading: Democrats and the White House traded offers, but a deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security remained elusive.A polling memo circulated among centrist senators urged Democrats to talk tougher on crime, while noting an opportunity for the party to appeal to voters with criticism of ICE.Photo: Eric Lee for The New York TimesFor more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

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.

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.

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).
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!

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.
Over the last 30 years, the number of Americans who say they highly value patriotism, religion, community, and family has dropped dramatically. At the same time, the number of Americans who care about making more money has gone up. Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye discuss David Brooks' new article about the culture's shift toward autonomy and away from loving attachments, and how Christians can begin rebuilding their social muscles. Sociologist and former pastor, Ryan Burge, is back to discuss why the political polarization of Christianity is hurting both the church and democracy.
