Are you wondering what's new in osteoporosis research for 2026? In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Dr. Craig Bissinger, as we review the most exciting osteoporosis updates from 2026. We share insights from the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis in Washington, DC, covering everything from new medications and bone-building drugs to the latest research on estrogen therapy and early screening strategies. We discuss the FDA's new endpoint for drug approval, which could speed up the availability of new medications like the oral version of Forteo. We also review the removal of the estrogen black box warning, showing that for many women, the benefits outweigh the risks, especially for those under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. We also dive into bone turnover markers that track bone building and breakdown in real time, helping you see progress in months rather than years. Finally, we discuss new screening guidelines, early detection for women, and the importance of interdisciplinary care. Tune in to learn how you can be proactive in protecting and strengthening your bones. "By changing the criteria for assessing the quality of the drug, they've chosen a different parameter, which is the Bone Mineral Density [BMD]...You're going to have a much more rapid evaluation, and henceforth new drugs will be able to come to the market earlier." ~ Dr. Craig Bissinger In this episode: - [01:23] - FDA approves total hip BMD as endpoint for drug trials - [01:57] - Oral Forteo: First pill version of anabolic drug - [04:29] - Removal of estrogen black box warning and implications - [10:16] - Estrogen for bone health, heart, and colon protection - [11:36] - Short-course anabolic therapy vs. maintenance therapy - [16:35] - Importance of medication sequencing - [24:30] - Bone turnover markers for monitoring progress - [32:04] - New screening guidelines for women - [37:55] - Bone medication and cardiovascular risk - [40:07] - The use of AI in diagnostics - [43:18] - Interdisciplinary care and referrals to physical therapy Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Women have been told how we have to show up at work, in our relationships, in our families, in society at large, forever. And it turns out it's costing us way more than we thought. It's making us sick. My guest today, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is a 15-time award-winning documentary filmmaker and somebody who was hit with melanoma, breast tumors, Hashimoto's, and Epstein-Barr all at once. Instead of just treating it, she investigated it. She funded her own research of 1,000 women, the first-ever study on the relationship between empowerment and autoimmune conditions, and what she found was absolutely groundbreaking. Her study was endorsed by a former US surgeon general, and it's an absolute paradigm shift in how we think about autoimmune conditions. Sarah has since completely healed, and we're going to talk about exactly what she did in this episode.

If you experience severe, sharp burning at the vaginal opening, you know how frustrating the journey to a clear diagnosis can be. In this episode, world-renowned pelvic pain expert Dr. Jill Krapf joins Dr. Rachel Pope to share a massive milestone in neuroinflammatory vulvar pain research: a gold-standard, 3-month clinical trial testing a brand-new topical Ketotifen cream.Ketotifen is a mast cell stabilizer historically used for allergies, but it has never before been formulated into a topical cream for pelvic pain. This breakthrough treatment directly targets the "neuroinflammatory zone," calming hyper-reactive mast cells and hypersensitive nerve endings.Key Takeaways: The Clinical Protocol: To track improvement, the trial uses two precise baseline tests: a specialized Q-Tip pressure monitor at the vestibule (requiring a 5/10 pain score to qualify) and a gentle dilator insertion test. Patient comfort is the absolute priority; tests stop immediately if pain thresholds are hit. A Pure Passion Project: Funding for localized vulvar pain is notoriously low. Backed by a small grant from the National Vulvodynia Association (NVA), this trial is a true labor of love by Dr. Krapf, Dr. Andrew Goldstein, and Dr. Chailee Moss to provide a non-surgical alternative for patients. How to Get Screened: Active trials are currently recruiting. Reach out directly to the site closest to you:The Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders Research Details & Locations: Duration: Approximately 3 months (only 4 short in-person study visits).

Could eating the same foods more often actually help you lose more weight? In this episode, Lisa Oldson, MD digs into the surprising science behind dietary simplicity, and why reducing the variety of what you eat may be one of the most underrated weight loss strategies out there.Dr. Lisa covers a brand-new 2026 study from the American Psychological Association showing that people who ate repetitive meals lost significantly more weight than those who constantly varied their food choices. She also explains the biology of sensory-specific satiety, the built-in appetite mechanism that food companies exploit to keep you eating more, and shares data from the National Weight Control Registry on how the most successful long-term weight losers actually eat.Plus: a counterintuitive finding about weekend food tracking that may completely change how you approach your weekend meals.You'll walk away with 5 practical tips for simplifying your meals, building a personal dinner rotation, and using food routines to reduce decision fatigue, so healthy eating starts to feel automatic instead of exhausting.Thanks for listening!

Kelly talks with Philip Guo, creator of Python Tutor, about how the tool helps students trace code and understand programming basics. They also discuss the challenges AI-generated code creates in the classroom and possible ways to support student learning. *Wins of the Week * Philip: Hiring a second undergraduate student for Python Tutor, including one focused on user experience research with K-12 teachers Kelly: Finishing a year of in-person teacher trainings and reflecting on how far the teachers have come *AI, Coding, and Classroom Understanding * Much of the conversation focuses on how AI-generated code affects student learning. Kelly describes using AI code with eighth graders and how difficult it can be for them to understand functions, parameters, returns, and other fundamentals when the code is generated all at once. Philip suggests that tools like Python Tutor may be useful for helping students trace code and understand what is happening behind the scenes. Python Tutor and Possible AI Features Philip explains that Python Tutor currently visualizes execution and has an AI chat feature that can answer questions about code and errors. They discuss possible future features, including simplified AI-generated examples, alternative execution views that show only the lines actually run, and more guided inline help tied to specific code or variables. Oral Explanations and Assessment Kelly describes using a Socratic-style code review with students, where they discuss code aloud in groups. They also talk about using spoken explanations or short oral assessments to check whether students can really explain what code is doing, rather than just copying or prompting AI-generated answers. Broader Research and “Beyond the Desk” Philip briefly discusses a new research direction with a PhD student focused on AI support for work beyond the desk, including physical and embodied tasks in science labs and fieldwork. He says this differs from desk-based AI work and involves activities that are harder for current AI systems to support. **Chapters **0:25 Python Tutor and AI Learning 1:55 Hiring Help for Python Tutor 4:07 Classroom Wins and AI Reflections 6:11 Teaching Code Through Python Tutor 9:03 AI Code and Student Confusion 14:11 Simplifying Execution Traces 17:19 Functions Are the Hard Part 20:25 Keeping Fundamentals in AI Era 24:25 Socratic Seminars for Code 26:27 Voice-Based Code Thinking 29:27 Learning Beyond Lockdown 36:10 Prompting as a New Skill 36:25 Hardware Troubles and NeoPixels 40:15 Beyond the Code Editor 45:01 New Research on Embodied AI 49:12 PyCon and Community Plans 50:42 Teacher Call to ActionSpecial Guest: Philip Guo.
It will come as little surprise to anyone who knows me: I do not have any tattoos. I've never been inked. It's not that I don't think they can look great. More than anything, I just don't trust my taste. I've looked at old photos. I've seen my haircuts and clothing choices from even a few years ago. When you've burned up and crashed out in the low stakes minor leagues, there's not a huge incentive to put it all on the line in the majors. That fish dunking a basketball might just have to wait. Of course there are many reasons to get a tattoo. Cultural reasons. Utilitarian reasons. To remember a loved one or a traumatic event. I've got a friend who's tattooed a medical condition, kind of like a permanent and more fashionable medic alert bracelet. But I don't have any of those reasons. And I'd still suggest the dominant reason that most people get tattoos is because they think they look cool. And don't get me wrong, my tattooed friends. A lot of people look great with tattoos. But then again, a lot of people don't. There has been an explosion in ink in recent years. You see them everywhere: sleeves and intricate designs. Patchworks. Delicate stick-and-pokes. It's impossible to watch a game of professional football without noting that a majority of the players are covered tip to tat-toe. New Research estimates that in the United States alone, a third of adults have at least one tattoo. For those aged 30-49, it climbs to 46%. But get this – for young women between 18 and 29, more than half have at least one tattoo! So I'm calling it today. This trend cycle is officially over. The unique has become the ubiquitous. People who seriously love tattoos will continue to get tattoos. And fair enough. You do you. But all those people who jumped on the bandwagon because they thought a few tats would look cool on Instagram are no longer queueing for new ink. Except unlike skinny jeans, you can't just chuck your tattoos in an old shopping bag and drop them in a clothing bin. The cruel reality of the tattoo trend is that even though clearly ‘trend' is the right word to explain the surge in tattoos, the results of this trend are very much permanent. The global tattoo removal industry is valued at $11 billion today. By 2035, it's forecast to be four times that. If I had a spare bob, I swear, I'd be investing. Tattoo removal is from all accounts a pretty painful experience. But it's also big business. And of course, the trend-setters who consciously or otherwise have contributed to some of the demand are among those who are first in line to get their tattoos zapped off. Pete Davidson, Mark Whalberg, Pharrell… Watch this space. The list is only gonna grow. I started by saying I don't trust my own taste. Those who disagree with me will say I'm a hypocrite. How can someone who admits to having questionable taste be so certain in his judgement? The only thing that'll save me is I reckon deep down, whether they admit it or not, most people will agree. No tattoos is the new tattoos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Leading Irish neuroimmunologist Prof. Denise Fitzgerald has been awarded €6.26 million Research Professorship funding from Research Ireland to investigate ways that ageing affects how the immune system helps repair brain tissue in illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The funding means that over the next five years, Prof. Fitzgerald – who has, until now, been based exclusively in Queen's University Belfast – will lead a research team of ten based in Trinity College Dublin and partnering with FutureNeuro Research Ireland Centre for Translational Brain Science, St James's Hospital and Beaumont Hospital to discover why our immune cells become less able to coax brain stem cells to repair damage as we age. This research combines immunology, neuroscience and regenerative biology to tackle this complex problem. Prof. Fitzgerald said: "This ambitious programme of research will uncover new insights into fundamental changes in the older immune system that has a knock-on effect on brain repair. This new knowledge can then be used to develop pioneering regenerative treatment for MS and other neurological conditions. To speed this up, we are embedding research into new clinical trials led by consultant neurologist, Hugh Kearney. "This will increase the opportunities for people with MS in Ireland to access experimental treatments early, as well as to co-produce research with us as key public members of the research programme. Through this neuroimmunology research programme we will train the next generation of scientists, doctors and health professionals, side-by-side, in partnership with the public." Commenting on the announcement, Dr Diarmuid O'Brien, CEO of Research Ireland commented: "Research Ireland is pleased to support Prof. Fitzgerald's critically important work over the next five years, with the investment facilitating an additional 11 research positions, comprising postdocs, PhDs, research assistants and senior research fellows. Funding excellent research talent is a key part of our recently launched strategy, as is addressing Ireland's opportunities and challenges in areas such as public health. I look forward to seeing the outputs and impact of Prof. Fitzgerald's endeavours over the coming years." Through this appointment, Prof. Fitzgerald will divide her role between Trinity College Dublin and Queen's University Belfast, promoting all-island collaboration across neuroimmunology and other research areas. She will be an investigator at FutureNeuro, the RCSI-based Research Ireland Centre that aims to translate breakthroughs in understanding of brain structure and function to transform the patient journey for people with neurological diseases. She also brings extensive international collaboration with world-leading experts at Cambridge University, University College London, the University of Toronto, the Institute of Neuroscience – Alicante, the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Maynooth University. Prof. Colin Doherty, head of the School of Medicine in Trinity and a Principal Investigator with FutureNeuro said: "I have known Denise for some time and have marvelled at the quality of her research into one of the great and challenging areas of medical science. We are delighted that she will be leading a team here in Trinity while retaining her links with Queen's, strengthening all-island collaboration in neuroimmunology and creating exciting new opportunities across the wider FutureNeuro research network."

Sleep habits may raise dementia risk - and researchers are closer to understanding how. Neuroscientists David Earnest and Karienn A. De Souza explain that genetics may account for only a small portion of Alzheimer's risk, while lifestyle factors—especially chronic sleep and circadian rhythm disruption—could play a major role. Their research suggests that long-term irregular sleep patterns, such as shift work, can trigger inflammation, alter brain immune cells, and increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life. They recommend maintaining consistent sleep schedules and minimizing circadian disruption whenever possible.
New research challenges the fitness industry assumption that consistency is the only path to results. Episode 19 of The Research Debrief examines a paper in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science and Sports asking a question nearly every club member eventually asks: what happens to my progress if I stop training? The findings carry real implications for how operators and fitness professionals communicate with lapsed members. This Episode Covers: - What the study tested: Continuous training for 30 weeks vs. 10 weeks on, 10 off, 10 on — measuring changes in strength and muscle size. - What happens during a break: Strength and muscle decline, but participants retained more than their pre-training baseline. - The muscle memory effect: The returning group regained strength and muscle faster than the continuous group, driven by the persistence of myonuclei. - The 30-week result: Both groups finished at the same levels of strength and muscle size. - The message for operators: Re-engaging lapsed members works better with encouragement than guilt and the science supports it.

In this episode, Lisa continues her PCOS series by reviewing a newly published research letter titled "Ovarian Cysts in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome", a cross-sectional analysis of nearly 2,000 women asking one key question: do women with PCOS actually have more pathological ovarian cysts than women without PCOS? Contrary to what the name implies, the study found no statistically significant difference in pathological ovarian cysts between the two groups. Lisa contextualizes these findings within a foundational understanding of the menstrual cycle, explaining how insulin resistance may interfere with the normal progression toward ovulation, resulting in arrested follicular development rather than the presence of abnormal cysts.

Some of the biggest threats to your bone health may be hiding in foods you eat every single day, even foods marketed as "healthy." Today, I'm revisiting one of the most popular conversations ever on my YouTube channel with nutrition expert Mira Dessy, The Ingredient Guru. This information is simply too important not to share again. We talk about the hidden ingredients commonly found in packaged and processed foods that may negatively affect both your bone health and your overall well-being. The good news? This episode is not about fear or perfection. It's about awareness and making simple, realistic swaps over time. Mira explains why ingredients like carrageenan, EDTA, phosphoric acid, and excess caffeine may interfere with nutrient absorption, increase inflammation, and potentially contribute to bone loss. We also discuss why the "low-fat" mindset may actually work against your bones by interfering with the absorption of important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins D and K. We also share practical ways to reduce these ingredients without overwhelm. You can learn how small, sustainable changes can make a meaningful difference for your bones and your overall health. "I encourage people to be brand disloyal…You really want to make sure that you're being proactive for yourself. Make sure that you're looking, not for the brand, not for what's on the front of the package, but for what's in the ingredients." ~ Mira Dessy In this episode: - [03:29] - Carrageenan, emulsifiers, and gut inflammation explained - [12:22] - How gums may affect digestion and nutrient absorption - [14:55] - Why EDTA may interfere with calcium absorption - [18:44] - The surprising connection between caffeine and bone health - [22:06] - Non-caffeinated coffee alternatives - [30:16] - Why low-fat foods may weaken bone health - [33:19] - Phosphoric acid, soda, and mineral depletion - [39:29] - Simple ways to reduce harmful ingredients without overwhelm - [40:59] - Easy bone broth nutrition hacks for stronger bones - [43:37] - New research linking ultra-processed foods to poor bone health Resources - Get discounted supplements at Margie's Fullscript dispensary (SALE 5/18-5/21) - https://tinyurl.com/happybonessupplements - More Natural Approaches to Osteoporosis & Bone Health Summit - free 8 days - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-bone-health-summit - Mira's Substack - https://miradessy.substack.com - January Zine (free for everyone) - https://miradessy.substack.com/p/january-2026-kitchen-table-chat-zine - The Pantry Principle: How to Read the Label and Understand What's Really In Your Food - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0988935708/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 - Avoid the Bone Health Bandits ebook - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4TTHWCF More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

In this returning episode of The Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis (The Concussion Coach) reconnects with Sharik Peck and Katyrra Larson to explore the latest developments with the Rezzimax PainTuner—an external vagus nerve stimulator that uses gentle resonance (in the frequency range of a cat's purr) to calm the nervous system. Sharik shares exciting updates, including a new Philippines-based study using the device to help breast cancer patients manage stress, pain, and GI dysfunction, as well as ongoing TMJ research in the US. The conversation dives into innovative applications of the tool: a new mouthpiece attachment for cranial nerve stimulation (helping a brain-injured patient regain speech and focus), and scraping techniques that combine vibration with myofascial release. Katyrra provides practical calming strategies for acute anxiety and startle responses (including humming with the tongue between the teeth). Sharik also shares a powerful trauma release protocol (Stress Down Regulation/Resilience program) that combines breathing, flexor engagement, and sensory input to help the brain reorganize traumatic memories—a protocol that does not require the device but is accelerated by it. The episode emphasizes nervous system regulation as the cornerstone of concussion recovery, and Bethany shares her personal enthusiasm for the tool, including a listener discount and money-back guarantee.Resources Mentioned by the GuestsRezzimax PainTuner (and the "Mini" version)Rezzimax Mouthpiece Attachment (for oral/cranial nerve stimulation)Recipes (Protocols) Library – Found on the Rezzimax website (video + written steps)Whole Body De-Stress rezzipe: https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-whole-body-destressStress Down Regulation / Resilience program (trauma release): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-stress-down-regulationMoro reflex protocol (for startle response): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-primitive-reflexes-moro-startle-reflexRezzimax YouTube Channel – Contains the trauma release presentation and all instructional videos https://www.youtube.com/@RezzimaxDiscussed Practitioners & Concepts:Dr. James Sheen & Dr. Edward Chauvin – protocols for addressing dormant fungi/molds/virusesDr. Sean Drake – breathwork for high-level performersAndrew Byrne – work with "singing athletes" and cranial nervesGua sha & Astym (scraping techniques enhanced with vibration)Contact & Discount Information from the ConversationRezzimax Purchase & Discount Code: https://rezzimax.com/?ref=BethanyLewis Use code BethanyLewis in the discount section for $75 offRezzimax Money-Back Guarantee: Available if you try it and don't love itPrevious Episodes Referenced: Episode 47 (Sharik alone) and Episode 76 (Sharik & Katira)RezziMax Website & Recipe Access: rezzimax.com Trauma Release Protocol Location: RezziMax website → Recipes → Emotional Clearing → "Stress Down Regulation or Resilience program"Previous episodes with Sharik peck:1.

The push for a ban on social media for under-16s has been paused despite both National and Labour supporting it. Several other countries are moving to restrict young people's access to social media, following Australia's lead. Meanwhile, new research shows children who spend more than three hours a day on social media are more likely to develop depression and anxiety as teenagers. Dr Chen Shen from Imperial College's School of Public Health manages this large-scale Study of Cognition in Adolescents and Mobile Phones (SCAMP) and joins Susie Ferguson from London.

For decades, women and their doctors have been wary of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), especially after menopause, largely due to fear-mongering surrounding breast cancer risk. But what if I told you that much of this fear is based on flawed data, misinterpretations, and sensationalized media reports? In this episode, I dive deep into the truth, myths, and misconceptions around HRT and breast cancer. I'll unpack the infamous Women's Health Initiative study, exposing its significant design flaws and the detrimental impact of its media interpretation. Grab your seat for the Advanced Practice Nutrition Intensive!Topics discussed: - The real story behind the HRT breast cancer scare- Relative vs. absolute risk- Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones- New science- Beyond symptoms- Navigating your HRT journey
What if the key to improving egg quality has less to do with the egg itself, and more to do with the environment it lives in? In this episode, Michelle Oravitz breaks down a landmark study out of UCSF that used cutting-edge 3D imaging to map entire human and mouse ovaries at the cellular level, and what the researchers found is reshaping everything we thought we knew about ovarian health. The study revealed that eggs are not scattered randomly throughout the ovary. They live inside communities made up of blood vessels, nerves, and support cells, and that surrounding environment actively shapes how eggs mature and how long they last. Even more striking, the researchers discovered that sympathetic (fight-or-flight) nerves are woven throughout the ovary and play a direct role in regulating which eggs receive the signal to grow. Michelle also explores how Traditional Chinese Medicine has been describing this exact system for thousands of years through the framework of Kidney Jing, Liver Blood, and Qi flow, and how these ancient concepts map with remarkable precision onto what modern science is now confirming. This episode will shift the way you think about fertility. Your ovarian ecosystem is not fixed. It is alive, responsive, and shaped by how you live every day. Key Takeaways: Egg quality is shaped not just by the egg itself, but by the entire microenvironment surrounding it, including blood vessels, nerves, and support cells. Fight-or-flight nerves inside the ovary directly regulate which eggs receive the signal to mature. Ovarian blood vessel health is one of the first things to decline with age, reducing the nutrients and signals follicles need even when eggs are still present. The ovarian environment is dynamic and responds to what you eat, how you sleep, how you move, and the state of your nervous system. Traditional Chinese Medicine has described this system for thousands of years through Kidney Jing, Liver Blood, and Liver Qi stagnation, concepts that map directly onto what modern science is now finding. Practical support focuses on improving circulation, nourishing Kidney Jing, regulating the nervous system, and reducing inflammation Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Anecdotally, we know there is a correlation between eating disorders and suicide, yet until now, there has been no published research to show that. This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, Han is joined by Dr Una Foye, a Research Fellow at King's College London, who is leading the qualitative arm of an MQ-funded study exploring why people with eating disorders are at higher risk of suicide and self-harm.We talk about the groundbreaking, and long overdue, research that finally puts lived experience voices at the centre of this conversation, why the data has always been harder to read than it should be, and what the findings mean for the way we think about treatment, recovery, and care.In this episode, we explore:The research gap: Why there has been almost no qualitative work asking people with lived experience about the link between eating disorders and suicidality, until now.The hidden statistics: Why deaths connected to eating disorders and suicide are so often recorded under other causes, and what stigma and the historic criminalisation of suicide have to do with it.The complexity of risk: How the eating disorder itself, identity loss, social isolation, and the function it serves can increase suicidal thoughts.Recovery as a risky period: How the removal of support at the point of weight restoration can leave people more vulnerable, not less.Intersectionality and invisibility: How being male, from a minoritised ethnic background, living in a larger body, or being autistic or neurodivergent can compound the risk, and the silence.Siloed services: Why being told "you can't be treated here if you're also self-harming" misses the point entirely, and what holistic, joined-up care could look like instead.Asking the question: Why clinicians are often frightened to ask about suicidality, and why not asking is far more dangerous than asking.Hope in small things: The realisation that support doesn't need to be dramatic - but simple changes and communication can help. Lived experience at the centre: Why Una is so passionate about lived experience and how it is the thing which shapes everything she does.Connect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Una via the KCL website⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, self-harm and suicide.

Summary In this episode, Ashley Kennedy and I discuss the results of her research on the diets of nestling eastern bluebirds. Ashley used GoPro cameras located on active bluebird nestboxes to take pictures of what eastern bluebirds were bringing back to the nest to feed their young. Over the course of several seasons, she obtained over 8,000 pictures which clearly showed food being brought back to the nest. 3 things you'll learn from this episode: The most common food items brought back to eastern bluebird nestlings, plus some less common and very unexpected prey items. Some of the reasons why caterpillars are such an important food source for baby birds. Insights into eastern bluebird food preferences. Today's guest Ashley Kennedy is an entomologist who recently published her research on what eastern bluebird nestlings eat.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Cohort Study Links ADHD to Earlier and More Severe Perimenopausal SymptomsThe episode reviews a population-based cohort study using the Icelandic SAGA cohort (women aged 35–55; n=5,392) examining perimenopausal symptom severity in women with versus without self-reported ADHD (9.9%). Using the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale v1.1, and PHQ-15, researchers found higher overall perimenopausal symptom burden in women with ADHD (mean MRS 18 vs 13) across psychological, somatic, and urogenital domains, and higher prevalence of severe symptoms (overall PR 1.8; somatic PR 2.2; psychological PR 1.63; urogenital PR 1.57) plus severe general symptoms (PR 1.94). Symptoms peaked earlier in ADHD (ages 35–39 vs 45–49), suggesting onset up to 10 years earlier. Adjustments for sociodemographics, smoking, binge drinking, and PTSD (more common in ADHD) did not remove associations. Limitations include cross-sectional measures, self-reported ADHD, symptom overlap, and lack of treatment data; the script calls for tailored guidelines for perimenopausal women with ADHD.00:00 ADHD Meets Perimenopause00:23 Study Purpose And Rationale01:16 Cohort And Measurement Tools02:33 Menopause Rating Scale Breakdown03:17 Overall Symptom Burden Results04:11 Severe Symptoms And Ratios05:26 Earlier Onset By Age06:23 Confounders And PTSD Analysis07:38 Clinical Takeaways And Guidance08:39 Limitations And Future Research10:00 Wrap Up And Call To Action Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

5:37 PM Dr. Spencer Nadolsky and Karl sit down with Dr. Henning Langer, PhD researcher at the Charité in Berlin and founder of his own muscle metabolism lab, to break down his newly published paper combining rodent and human data to look directly at what GLP-1 medicines actually do to skeletal muscle beyond what a DEXA scan can tell you. Dr. Langer spent time at Boehringer Ingelheim specifically studying skeletal muscle during obesity and anti-obesity treatment before bringing that work to his own lab, and this paper is one of the only studies to date that has looked at muscle directly rather than lean body mass as a proxy. In this episode they cover why the step one trial's 40 percent lean mass loss figure may not be as alarming as it sounds and why most incretin trials actually land closer to the expected 25 percent, why lean body mass on a DEXA scan conflates muscle with glycogen, liver weight, and water in ways that overstate actual muscle loss, why the mice on semaglutide that looked the roughest in their cage ran the best on the treadmill to exhaustion, what mitochondrial protein changes in the proteome data suggest about a possible fatigue resistance benefit that cannot be explained by fat loss alone, how absolute muscle force tended to drop slightly while relative strength and endurance held up, what the human data from Nottingham showed about maximum voluntary contraction and knee extension force in patients on GLP-1 treatment, why the geriatric population is the next big unanswered question in this space, and why resistance training combined with high protein still cuts muscle loss in half and remains the most powerful lever available regardless of what the pharmacology does.
