Friday Night Live 23 May 2025In this episode, I explore philosophical themes surrounding mortality, societal violence, and personal experiences. Reflecting on Scott Adams' health challenges, I critique the criminalization of self-defense and the impact of societal labels on violence. I share parenting anecdotes that highlight inattentiveness and its consequences, while discussing the complexities of modern child-rearing.Through humor, I balance personal ambitions with parenting challenges and examine love, self-worth, and the dangers of vanity. I advocate for empathy and humility in relationships, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and emotional honesty to foster meaningful connections.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Earnest ‘EJ' Christian discusses why the NY Knicks are (sorta) easy to root for, why he can't stop thinking about death, Joe Biden cancer diagnosis, Metallica re-releasing LOAD upcoming box set, rededicating to minimalism, fitness and health update, and why he's looking forward to the summer.

No one really knows what happens after we die, and even if we live within a tradition (as Judaism is) that is quite clear that there is a heaven and a hell, who is to say which way you and I are going? Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai was one of the greatest of all time, and he didn't know either. That should give us pause.

Dr. Terence Friedlander reviews the various patient outcomes after hip fracture surgery. Series: "Excerpts" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40752]

JACC: Associate Editor Michelle M. Kittleson, MD, PhD, FACC, and JACC: CardioOncology Deputy Editor Ronald Witteles, MD, FACC, discuss the current findings on the impact of vutrisiran in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). This study on HELIOS-B comprises details on cardiovascular (CV) events and provides updated mortality analyses from a later data cut than the primary analysis. Risk of ACM and CV events, including CV hospitalizations and heart failure events, was reduced with vutrisiran versus placebo in the overall population, with consistent trends regardless of baseline tafamidis use. These findings reinforce the balanced benefit on mortality and CV events demonstrated in the primary analysis of HELIOS-B.

Living Through the Aftershock: COVID-19's Lasting Impact on Our Lives and Leadership In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Amrita Subramanian and Michael D. Levitt explore the profound and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—not just on health systems, but on our humanity, leadership, and everyday decisions. Reckoning With Collective Trauma The episode opens with a candid reflection on how society continues to carry the emotional residue of the pandemic. Amrita underscores the importance of acknowledging that crisis is not an interruption—it's a constant. Michael builds on this by noting how many individuals still carry unprocessed trauma, often triggered by subtle reminders from the pandemic era. Leaders, he argues, must create space for that healing, not push people to simply “move on.” Mortality, Reflection, and Missed Opportunities Amrita shares that COVID-19 accelerated deeper societal trends and forced a confrontation with mortality. Michael adds that the pandemic was a moment when the world could have come together—yet instead, we saw fragmentation. Together, they challenge listeners to reflect on whether we're growing from the crisis—or avoiding it. Growth Through Adversity Both hosts explore how some individuals used the pandemic as a springboard for transformation. Amrita calls these people "magnets"—those who attract possibility through growth and reflection. Michael discusses how our choices ripple outward, affecting teams, families, and communities, and urges leaders to lean into thoughtful, values-based decision-making. Making Peace With Chaos In a thought-provoking segment, Amrita reframes chaos—not as disorder, but as the natural state when clarity and consensus are missing. Michael and Amrita discuss the necessity of continuous learning and the paradox of a generation navigating both truth and noise. The takeaway? We're standing at a crossroads that could lead to either a new renaissance—or a descent into disconnection. Humility and Leadership in Uncertain Times Amrita calls for a return to humility, especially in leadership. She advocates for an unlearning of rigid systems and encourages empathy-based decision-making. Michael echoes this, pointing to the dangers of ego in crisis and the importance of making choices grounded in service and self-awareness. Decisions That Shape the Future Michael shares strategies for making clear-headed decisions amid chaos—removing emotion from the process and using systems like checklists to stay aligned. Amrita offers a counterbalance: the role of curiosity and inner wisdom in guiding leaders toward choices that benefit the greater good. Together, they highlight the legacy we're leaving for the next generation—a chance to lead with civility, courage, and care. Living Fully, Leading Wisely The episode closes with reflections on what it means to live a fulfilling life. Amrita encourages gentle self-examination, while Michael reminds us that leadership starts with personal responsibility—and a commitment to making choices that serve not just ourselves, but those around us.   Amrita is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises.   She is also a trailblazer in post-disruptive growth as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania and a guest lecturer at Wharton. She has almost completed her Ph.D. on post-traumatic growth in adults through COVID-19.   As the world faced the first collective trauma/crisis disruption in modern-day history, the COVID pandemic, Amrita launched a first-of-its-kind study to explore how pain leads to growth and analyze our ability to heal ourselves during an unparalleled crisis.   Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Her lessons draw from the evidence-based practices of everyday people who have shown heartfelt humility and wisdom in the face of crisis and devastation.   The research study has amassed global participation, and she is convinced that it will show the pandemic strengthened us and renewed our sense of identity, purpose, and community.   Amrita knows well that there is growth from trauma based on what she's endured in her own life.   At the age of five, she was abandoned in a convent. The trauma and abuse she endured throughout that time resulted in selective mutism until she was 11 years old, among other things.   Amrita is now using her voice to help guide humanity and speak out about the many facets of pain and what good could come from them.   On the podcast, she would love to talk about: What happens to the future and nature of work (employees, employers, departments, engagement, stress, fatigue, etc.) following the collective trauma we all walked through? What is the nature of post-disruptive/post-crisis leadership? Who do we need to be to lead ourselves to the next edge of growth and harmony, given crises are only now going to be constant (economic or ecological)? The pandemic is still largely under-processed, and folks do not seem to be making denial a choice. People seem to be hungry to process what they experienced. This article explains why we need to talk about and process pain and how pain can also lead to growth. To get a sense of Amrita, here's an episode she did recently on The Trauma Therapist Podcast, where she talked about how her life has been shaped by continuous growth from trauma.

Oliver Burkeman's latest book, "Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts," is a guide to embracing what he calls the imperfect life. It's the realization that you're never going to sort your life out. So instead of attempting that futile task day after day and viewing your limitations as a human as obstacles to a meaningful life, you embrace them. In our conversation, Oliver and I dig into some common misconceptions about the human condition, why existing in the modern world asks so much of us, and how and why we must take action admist uncertainty.

Commentary by Dr. Jian'an Wang. 

It's easy to repeat oneself in fashion. Certain truths return again and again, not because we lack imagination, but because they remain unresolved. One of them is this—authenticity isn't rare because people are unwilling to be real, but because many still don't know who they are. Carlos Nazario does. And more than that, he shows up as himself, without spectacle and without self-mythologizing. What makes this conversation compelling isn't only his perspective on fashion or culture. It's the way he holds space for complexity—the exhaustion and the joy, the disenchantment and the deep love for the work. There's a calm clarity in how he speaks about image-making, identity, and the creative life. Not as fixed roles, but as evolving practices. For anyone feeling unmoored by the state of the industry or uncertain about how to keep creating in a time that feels increasingly TBD, this episode offers something more valuable than certainty. It offers perspective, and the steady presence of someone who has figured out how to move forward without losing himself along the way. “I love fashion. I don't always love the fashion industry.” - Carlos Nazario  Episode Highlights: Redefining Exhaustion in Creative Work - Carlos discusses the mental and emotional toll of fashion's nonstop pace—and why he refuses to glorify burnout, emphasizing presence, boundaries, and creative sustainability. Loving Fashion vs. Loving the Industry - He unpacks the tension between a deep love for fashion itself and disillusionment with the political performance of the industry. The Power and Limits of the Internet in Fashion - Carlos reflects on the democratization of commentary online, and how the resulting noise makes it harder to sift out meaningful, resonant work. Image as a Tool for Transformation - A powerful meditation on imagemaking as a vehicle for cultural change, generational thought, and emotional resonance. Resisting Small Talk, Embracing Realness - He shares his discomfort with surface-level conversations in industry spaces, and his craving for meaningful, emotionally honest exchanges. Retreat, Identity & Reclaiming the Self - A story about a therapeutic retreat—where he wasn't allowed to share his profession or last name—leads to a conversation about selfhood outside of industry labels. Critique vs. Cruelty - Carlos addresses the rise of snarky, anonymous fashion criticism, drawing a distinction between valuable critique and performative cruelty. The Weight of Representation - He speaks candidly about his experience as a Black, Afro-Latino stylist—and how resilience, optimism, and responsibility continue to shape his point of view. Time, Mortality & Legacy - A moving reflection on life's brevity, what it means to step away, and how true impact often comes from stillness and intentionality. What's Contemporary Now - Looking within. Carlos defines contemporaneity as self-awareness, intention, and resisting herd mentality in favor of independent thought. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Talmud weaves an intriguing tale of about our time in the womb, as we gaze from one end of the world to the other and learn the Torah from an angel. And then, we are born, and it is gone. But we take a vow to seek it...

He's a contemporary of Theroux, Chatwin, early Dalrymple and inspiration for the newer generation of his genre, the likes of Rory Stewart, Levison Wood and many, many more. Colin has been a dream guest of mine for many years.This interview travelled a line across the map of his career. Colin reflects on his many experiences in Russia and China, the impact of historical events like the Cultural Revolution, the collapse of the Soviet Union - and the broader evolution of travel writing throughout the years. He gets into the effects of globalisation on cultural identities and how it's effected his experience over the decades. Colin observes the complexities of nationalism and patriotism, and as well discusses the role religion in his life, the nature of belief, and the rationality behind it all. Colin then comments on mortality and his legacy which leads to a discussion on how travel can serve as a coping mechanism for grief. Plus, together we also touch on the choices and more difficult trade offs surrounding parenthood and career, his aspirations for future literary projects, and the influence of serendipity behind it all. I can see from the analytics that not even 20% of you who are listening are following the show, I wish this to be 100!

The May 2025 recall features four previously posted episodes on myasthenia gravis. The first episode has Dr. Fredrik Piehl discussing rituximab for new-onset generalized MG. In the second episode, Dr. Vera Bril explores the potential use of immunoglobulin as a corticosteroid-sparing agent in MG patients. The third episode features Dr. Ali A. Habib discussing trends in hospital admissions and in-hospital mortality for adult MG patients. The series concludes with Dr. Jennifer Morganroth addressing the increase in thymectomy procedures post-MGTX trial, disparities in access to these surgeries among different demographic groups, and the rise of minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) as an indicator of mortality and longevity. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Darren Schmidt.  Darren Schmidt, DC is the Founder of The Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor which is the largest non-insurance nutrition clinic in the country.  His purpose is to bankrupt pharmaceutical companies by teaching doctors how to improve health rather than treat symptoms.  He uses new and old clinical discoveries to solve complex chronic illness with only diet and supplements.  He uses MVX Plus, the best lab test to measure longevity and health, and it also directs the treatment plan. Key Takeaways: What is MVX? What are the 6 factors and 3 indices that are explored with MVX? How might MVX be a better metric for mortality than many conventionally-used metrics today? Can MVX be extrapolated to be used as a measure of health and longevity? What is GlycA?  What drives it? What tools can be used to lower GlycA? What is the connection between GlycA and hypercoagulation? Why is eGFR and kidney health often used on the context of predicting mortality? What is small HDL particle number?  How can it be optimized? What is the Inflammation Vulnerability Index? What is citrate?  What tools can be used to lower it when elevated? What is the connection between citrate and mitochondrial function? What is lactic acidosis? What is learned from looking at valine, leucine, and isoleucine? What steps may be taken if they are high?  If they are low? What is the Metabolic Malnutrition Index? When might a keto diet be appropriate? What does the Metabolic Vulnerability Index tell us? Is MVX impacted by genetics or epigenetics? What is the 7 Step Blueprint to Optimal Health? How do the 7 steps overlap with the 6 MVX factors?

“Everyone's brain is extremely heterogenic, so it's different. You can put five of us in a room; we can all have the same diagnosis of a [glioblastoma multiforme], but all of ours can be different. They're highly aggressive biologically. It's a small area in a hard shell. So trying to get through the blood–brain barrier is different. There's a lot of areas of hypoxia in the brain. There's a lot of pressure there. The microbiology is very different—it's a cold environment versus a hot environment—and then the pathways are just different,” Lori Cappello, MSN, APN-C, CCRP, research advanced practice nurse at the John Theurer Cancer Center of Hackensack Meridian Health in New Jersey, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about brain malignancies and caring for patients with them.

It is the most diagnosed of the brain tumors. And then I would say that an anaplastic astrocytoma is probably the second diagnosed. Historically a GBM, they used to say was probably an elderly patient for these. But we are definitely seeing it diagnosed at a much younger age now, definitely much more prevalent for people under 60.” TS 3:17 “Nine times out of ten, either a patient out of nowhere has a seizure, or they present with what they think are stroke-like symptoms. They noticed that they were slurring, or they were becoming more forgetful, or a family member noticed it and said, ‘Hey, what is going on with you?' But usually they present to the [emergency department], and a [computed tomography] scan is always done first. And lo and behold, something is seen.” TS 4:50 “The only other U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment that has come along in the last 20 years is a device called Optune Gio, which is an alternating electric field that stops cell division at the mitosis stage.” TS 7:45 “They lose so much of their independence, especially if they don't have a caregiver or help. That is huge. Medication management at home, to making sure that they're taking the medication properly, that they are actually taking their medication. Transportation is another huge problem. Getting to and from appointments is a challenge. Those are big issues—real, day-to-day, simple issues that people don't think about.” TS 17:11 “I think that having a brain tumor is very unique in the fact that you really need a dedicated neuro-oncologist. And depending on where you live, there are not a lot in the area. I actually had a patient that was moving out west, and the closest dedicated neuro-oncologist was four hours from them. … if you're not seeing dedicated neuro oncologists, you might not be getting the best treatment for yourself. So I think that having the resources and helping patients find the best care or the best brain tumor society—and there's a bunch of really good brain tumor groups to help patients find the best resources out there. I think that's really, really important for patients to know or for families to know.” TS 19:17 “So trying to help patients, there are always going to be challenges, and there are always going to be ups and downs. But finding that one person that they can go to, that they trust, that they have a great relationship with, whether at the doctor's office or whatever, and being available to them makes such a difference in their journey. I think that that is the most important for anybody in the journey.” TS 22:08 “With brain, there are going to be expectations. They are going to lose functionality at some point—and preparing them for that thing or preparing them for things that can help themselves. Like sometimes I say, ‘Go to the dollar store, get coloring books,' if they have weakness in one hand. Little tricks of the trade that can help them. About treatment options, going through the side effects, preparing them for whatever they can be prepared for.” TS 22:39 “It is not one of the better cancers to have, but it doesn't immediately mean it's a death sentence, and we shouldn't treat them like they're dying. We shouldn't take away their ability to live just because they were diagnosed with it. We shouldn't take away hope.” TS 25:35 “I think there's not enough discussed about [brain malignancies] and the lack of resources for this. These patients need a lot more resources and are available. There's just not enough available for it.” TS 26:59

After Jodi Wellman's mother passed away at just 58-years-old, Jodi was left to clean out her apartment. Everywhere she looked, she found remnants of her mother's unfulfilled dreams: business cards from enterprises that never took off, book manuscripts that were never submitted. The experience forced Jodi to realize that life is painfully short, and it's up to us to make the most of it. A speaker, author and executive coach, Jodi wants you to think more about death. On this week's episode of Everyday Better, she shares the essential things we all need to know about death and dying and how we can use our mortality as a motivator to live our lives more fully.

In 2016 the American Heart Association called for Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF), generally measured using VO2max, to be included as a vital sign. They said:“The underlying premise of this statement is that the addition of CRF for risk classification presents health professionals with unique opportunities to improve patient management and to encourage lifestyle-based strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk.”In this episode we discuss the arguments made and evidence cited in that statement, as well the update published in 2024.If you're the type to want follow up citations/further readings, here are a few that we found interesting (but you can find many more cited in the two statements linked above):People over 60 can still improve their VO2 by just as much as young people, relative to their baseline.Here's where you'll find the normative values from the Fitness Registry and the Importance of Exercise National Database (FRIEND) that we discussed.And before you ask, we also briefly address the classic "strength vs cardio" debate. Here are some studies we used to support it:Association of Resistance Exercise with Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality (yes, we understand that CVD is probably not the right place to look for strength training benefits)Optimum dosing of resistance training for health and longevity

Through the Wildlife Futures Program, the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) is conducting a study to explore leading causes of mortality in deer with and without CWD within a CWD-endemic area. The study team outfitted deer with GPS-collars programmed to emit a mortality signal to promptly retrieve carcasses for a complete necropsy with associated ancillary tests to determine the cause of death. Early results are in, and we are joined by Dr. Erick Gagne and Dr. Jennifer Hoy-Petersen of Penn Vet to discuss what the team has found so far.
