A 10-year presidential pardon is quite a thing. But will it be enough to protect Tony Fauci from ALL of his alleged nefarious misdeeds? No, says Dr. David Martin, the researcher who comes with the patent receipts to show how long Fauci and Ralph Baric were tinkering with gain of function research on corona viruses. CNN news hack Dana Bash gets schooled by RFK Jr. as we may start to hear more from Margaret Moore, the FOIA liaison to the NIH who pleaded the fifth two years ago. Why was she teaching Fauci-assistant Dr. David Morens how to erase emails? And how many thousands of them has she purged over the last several decades?  

It's a milestone episode! Number Eight Hundred. That calls for a celebration. Not only does Ricochet co-founder Peter Robinson join to host, but our dear pal Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is able to take a moment away from running both the NIH and CDC to talk about the downfall of Anthony Fauci and his team's work to restore public trust in America's leading public health and scientific institutions. With the disarming humility we've always known him for, Dr. Jay explains what he found most striking about Fauci's journal entries and evastions before Congress. The gang then pivots to what must be done to prevent a bureaucrat from acquiring such dictatorial powers and taxpayers from having to fund their own pandemic. Plus, Robinson, Hayward and Lileks wish the DNC luck in staving off the DSA; they find in our techno-innovators things to be hopeful for despite a generation that knew not the Soviets; they have a friendly debate over the triviality of pop-culture; and they say farewell to a departed Ricochet member.Sound from this week's open: Senator Rand Paul questions Anthony Fauci before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.Closing Music: "Center of the Universe" by Markus Little, via MotionArrayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California  who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give!

Pags continues breaking down Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive Senate testimony, asking why so many powerful voices still seem determined to protect him. Pags argues Fauci wasn't America's top health official but a longtime NIH bureaucrat who gained extraordinary influence during the pandemic, and questions why he suddenly decided to keep a personal diary late in life. He also reacts to Harvey Levin's passionate defense of Fauci, examining how media figures have helped shape the public narrative. Later, Pags asks why Fauci was given an opening statement before facing tough questions from senators, argues Democrats consistently outmaneuver Republicans when it comes to messaging and public perception, and explains why accountability shouldn't end with congressional hearings—asking whether lawsuits and other legal challenges could finally force the truth into the open.

In this episode of Criticism & Politics, Dr. Kawana J. Williams — clinical nurse specialist, medical scientist, and infectious‑disease researcher with more than 22 years across NIH initiatives — breaks down what an emergency response actually is. Not the political theater, not the hindsight commentary, but the real science behind rapid decision‑making during unknown‑organism outbreaks like COVID‑19. With clarity and precision, she explains how emergency protocols are measured, why experts acted the way they did, and what the public gets wrong about infectious‑disease leadership. This is a masterclass in outbreak reality, delivered by someone who has lived it. Welcome to Well Konnect.

Today on the show, Joe breaks down Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive appearance on Capitol Hill, where visible nerves and shaking hands told the real story before he even uttered a word. From Senator Josh Hawley calling out systemic obstruction to Senator Rand Paul delivering a searing indictment on how arrogance, secrecy, and censorship destroyed public trust, we expose the deep state's crumbling defense. Plus, we dig into the bizarre paper trail surrounding Fauci's federal pardon—specifically why it traces back to 2014, the exact same year the NIH approved grant funding for bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As questions mount, we ask the hard question: a federal pardon might shield him from Washington, but are state prosecutors ready to step up?Former FBI agent, whistleblower, and podcaster Kyle Seraphin joins Joe in the studio to pull back the curtain on bureaucratic warfare and institutional decay. Seraphin reacts to Fauci's testimony, dissects the lingering skepticism surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell's staged "proof of life" photo ops, and dives into shocking CIA whistleblower allegations revealing illegal surveillance against current leaders like Tulsi Gabbard. Furthermore, Kyle brings his tactical background to the table to analyze the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt, questioning official narratives and breaking down the physical real-world capabilities required for such an operation.Joe confronts the glaring double standards reshaping American life. While everyday families struggle to get basic life-saving medications approved by insurance, taxpayer dollars across dozens of states are quietly funding 100% free gender-affirming surgeries through Medicaid. Meanwhile in New York, socialist policy takes center stage as Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes government-run grocery stores—threatening small business survival while imposing selective, government-controlled product restrictions. Finally, as TPS expires for Haitian migrants and ICE agents face daily hostility on the ground, Joe takes a hard look at the reality of federal deportations and where the country heads next.

A career bureaucrat, someone who had spent decades inside the federal health apparatus, suddenly became a household name. He was on magazine covers. He became a cultural icon. People wore shirts with his face on them. Late-night comedians celebrated him. Politicians embraced him. And that raises the first question: When does a public servant stop being a trusted expert and become a political brand? Because something unusual happened during COVID. America has had public health officials before. We had surgeons general. We had CDC directors. We had NIH leaders. But we had never seen a public health official become the center of a political movement. Fauci was no longer simply advising presidents. He was shaping public policy, influencing governors, determining what businesses stayed open, affecting schools, churches, travel, and everyday life. And here is where things became complicated. Supporters argue Fauci was a scientist caught in an impossible situation. They say he was trying to navigate a once-in-a-century pandemic with incomplete information. Critics argue something very different. They argue Fauci became the embodiment of institutional arrogance: someone who presented himself as the final authority while changing positions repeatedly and dismissing legitimate questions. And this is where we need nuance. Because science changes. That is true. But trust depends on something else: Transparency. When recommendations change, people need to understand why. The problem was not simply that guidance evolved. The problem was that millions of Americans felt they were told, “Trust us,” instead of being shown the evidence. And when people questioned the narrative, many were treated as enemies rather than citizens asking legitimate questions. That is where the damage began. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.

Back in the 1950s, doctors didn't know a whole lot about the heart. If someone came in with chest pain, clinicians would ask a few questions, then take a stab at treating what might be heartburn or a heart attack. That's where mental health care is today, according to today's guest, Leanne Williams.For example: you come into a psychiatrist's office. The psychiatrist determines that you've experienced five or more depressive symptoms for at least two consecutive weeks and you get a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Maybe you get prescribed some combination of therapy and medication. For some it works. For others it doesn't. On average, finding an effective treatment for depression takes patients about 7 years – one of the reasons we're in a mental health crisis.Williams says that the key issue is that psychiatry does not base its diagnoses or treatment plans on any direct test of the organ of interest: the brain. According to Leanne's research, people with depression actually fall into clearly different categories, caused by changes in specific brain networks that can be  seen using brain imaging. She's shown that using this data can lead to much more targeted and effective therapies.Williams leads the Precision Mental Health Center at Stanford and is helming a new international task force that aims to create a road map for transforming  mental health diagnosis and treatment based on biological data and brain imaging.

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment several times during a recent Senate hearing on the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, choosing not to answer questions from lawmakers. The hearing, led by Sen. Rand Paul, focused on long-running disputes over COVID's origins and allegations that NIH-funded research in China contributed to the pandemic. Dan reviewed what happened at the hearing and discussed what impact Fauci's decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment might have on public opinion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the biggest story in America, and Joe Pags has the explosive moments you won't see anywhere else. Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his highly anticipated Senate testimony despite having received a presidential pardon, refusing to answer questions from Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Josh Hawley, and others about COVID-19, NIH funding, and internal government decisions. Pags asks the question millions of Americans are asking: If Fauci can't incriminate himself, why won't he tell the truth? He reacts to calls for a contempt vote, Hawley's takedown of Fauci's newfound wealth, Bernie Moreno's fiery confrontation, and President Trump's comments about inheriting Fauci while repeatedly disagreeing with his policies. Then Sen. Ron Johnson joins the show to expose what he says really happened behind the scenes, revealing the key testimony, diary entries, safety warnings, and unanswered questions the media ignored—and explaining why the fight for accountability is far from over.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Anthony Fauci returned to Capitol Hill for a highly anticipated Senate hearing—and the fireworks didn't disappoint.Facing questioning from Sen. Rand Paul and other lawmakers over the federal government's handling of COVID-19, pandemic-era decisions, NIH-funded research, and lingering questions surrounding the origins of the virus, Fauci repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.But what does that actually mean?Does taking the Fifth raise legitimate questions about Fauci's past statements and decisions, or was it a reasonable legal response after years of investigations and accusations? Is Congress pursuing much-needed accountability for a pandemic that resulted in more than 1.2 million reported U.S. deaths, or has COVID oversight become another partisan political battle?On Episode 640 of The Arrington Gavin Show, we're breaking down the hearing, the Fauci–Rand Paul showdown, what the Fifth Amendment does—and doesn't—mean, the unanswered questions surrounding COVID-19, and whether Americans deserve a broader bipartisan reckoning with how the pandemic was handled.ACCOUNTABILITY OR POLITICAL REVENGE?

If you're a woman with multiple sclerosis (MS) and you've noticed your fatigue, brain fog, or word-finding trouble getting worse in your 40s or 50s… you're not imagining it. And you're not alone in this. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl, a leading MS neurologist and menopause researcher from UCLA, to talk about something the MS community rarely hears explained clearly: what menopause is actually doing to your brain, and why it can look and feel so much like an MS flare. Here's the part that surprised me most. Your MRI can come back completely clean… no new lesions… and you can still feel like your cognition is slipping. That doesn't mean nothing is happening. It means we need to look at what's happening at the cellular level, not just the lesion level. Here's what we cover

Hysteria was created by authoritarians masquerading as scientific. This was partly achieved by presenting the other side as backwards anti-science conspiracy theorists. Funding cuts, public shaming and censorship came to any professionals who spoke out against the wokeness. Sometimes it was defamation.Fauci's diary admits he knew it was lab grown. He knew they did gain of function research too paid for by NIH through an intermediary. And we knew he knew this before his diary. The diary just creates public attention again. Fauci and many others deserve the death penalty. He just invented the 6ft rule and paper masks. It didn't matter at all. The vaccine didnt guard against covid symptoms or getting or spreading the disease. Yet it created its own symptoms. And without it came travel and work restrictions. All for a disease created in a lab that NIH and echo health created to circumvent laws against deadly gain of function research in the US. Social media owners complied and censored opposition to the government narrative. So we had years long clown shows. Old people died alone. Athletes lost the chance to excel in their sports. Students lost years of schooling in a social environment. Businesses deemed unessential went under. Big big pharma got a big pay day. This is a public episode.

During this segment of The Charlie James Show, the host takes a series of phone calls from local listeners sharing personal observations and opinions on public health policies. The conversation begins with Gerald calling from Spartanburg to describe a long wait at the health department where several people were turned away due to a card-only payment issue, leading to a lighthearted debate with Chuck from Mills River about payment preferences and broader political figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci. Callers Colleen from Fountain Inn and Joyce from West Pelzer join the dialogue to express skepticism regarding COVID-19 safety guidelines, questioning the shift from traditional handwashing to hand sanitizers and voicing concerns over how hospital protocols and financial incentives influenced pandemic-era care. Charlie wraps up the segment by previewing upcoming topics, including emails regarding NIH data on mask efficacy and President Trump's reaction to regional military developments in Jordan.

Segment 1: Red Cross Declares National Blood Shortage Host Charlie James brings on Jamie Raychel from the American Red Cross (South Carolina Upstate Chapter) to address a critical national blood emergency. Raychel confirms that blood supplies have plummeted to a four-year low, leaving many hospitals with less than a single day's supply of O-positive blood—the most common type used in emergency transfusions. She emphasizes that because blood cannot be manufactured and has a limited shelf life, regular public donations are essential to save lives. Callers express support for the cause, noting local drives at churches and military bases, while encouraging listeners to make appointments online to help rebuild the supply. Segment 2: Public Backlash Over Pandemic Mask Policies The conversation shifts to growing public frustration regarding COVID-19 pandemic protocols, specifically mask mandates. Charlie highlights a newly referenced March 2020 internal NIH email sent to Dr. Anthony Fauci, which acknowledged early on that community mask-wearing showed negligible differences in overall infection rates. Callers voice their dissatisfaction with public health officials, pointing to state and national leaders who enforced strict lockdowns and mandates despite conflicting data. A caller shares an anecdote from his dentist comparing cloth masks to "a chain-link fence trying to stop water," reflecting a widespread sentiment that many health policies were driven more by control than efficacy. Segment 3: Dr. Fauci Invokes the Fifth Amendment Charlie delves into the legal fallout surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci, who invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 121 times during a recent hearing. The host analyzes the legal tension between a presidential pardon and the Fifth Amendment, referencing historic Supreme Court precedents (United States v. Wilson, Burdick v. United States) establishing that accepting a pardon implies an admission of guilt and waives Fifth Amendment protections.

Callers weigh in on potential civil lawsuits, corporate accountability for pharmaceutical companies, and the long-term impact on public trust.

"You have to figure out how to make self-care a priority because you know the body does not sit still... Your mindset will allow you to move forward, or it will take you backwards." —Dr. Mitra Ray Stanford-trained biologist Dr. Mitra Ray spent three decades building a career in women's longevity, but the habits she taught everyone else became something she never expected: the infrastructure that kept her upright after her husband, Doug, died suddenly in a paragliding accident in October 2023. In this conversation with host Justine Reichman, Dr. Ray traces her path from NIH- and Alzheimer's-funded cancer research to walking away from the lab, building a word-of-mouth wellness brand that sold 2 million copies with zero advertising, and eventually testing her own biological age during the hardest year of her life — and watching it go backward. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife, grief, perimenopause, or the quiet realization that the wellness habits they've dismissed as trendy might be the thing holding them together. Dr. Ray and Justine talk candidly about cold plunging, sobriety, plant-based nutrition, sleep science, and the gut-microbiome research behind cravings — grounding every claim in the biology, not the buzzwords. Key takeaways: Dr. Ray's biological age measurably reversed during the year she grieved her husband, evidence that consistent habits can outperform circumstance. Comparing your current body to a memory of your 25-year-old self is biologically counterproductive — memories change every time you access them, and the comparison itself triggers cortisol and inflammation. Cold plunging activates the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the brain region tied to willpower and will to live, which Dr. Ray leaned on deliberately after losing Doug. Food cravings are largely dictated by gut bacteria, not willpower — feeding plant-based bacteria gradually shifts what your body craves. "Superagers" in their 80s are still generating new neurons, making neurogenesis — not a return to a younger self — the more useful benchmark for healthy aging. Grief lives in the body: cortisol, thyroid, and hormone levels shift during loss, and naming that process without judgment is part of recovering from it.

Dr. Mitra Ray has spent more than 30 years helping people understand this, and more importantly, live it. Her path into health was shaped by both rigorous science and lived experience. She completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and earned her PhD from Stanford Medical School, where her research was funded by multiple NIH grants and recognized with the Young Investigator Award from the Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology. Her work has been published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of Cell Biology: journals that do not publish ideas lightly. But credentials alone do not explain why audiences across four continents keep coming back to hear her speak, or why her books and lectures on health, beauty, brain function, and longevity have resonated as widely as they have. The reason is simpler: she translates what the science actually says into something you can do and sustain. Her focus has always been whole plant foods, an active body, and a clear mind. These three things, she has come to understand, are not a wellness trend. They are the foundation. Everything downstream of that foundation- how you look, how you feel, how you age- follows. The Elder's Evolution, her Substack publication, is where she writes about what it means to age well, with full attention paid to both the biology and the deeper questions that biology alone cannot answer.

This one's for anyone who's had to rebuild a life from nothing and wants a real framework instead of another empty pep talk.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/dr-oluwole-babatundeDr. Oluwole Babatunde lost his mother at seven and his father at thirteen. He grew up largely on his own, sneaking between the homes of people willing to take him in, finishing high school with almost no stable ground under him. Today he's a physician, a PhD in epidemiology, the author of over 60 published papers and an NIH fellow wrapping up his psychiatry residency in South Carolina. This episode is the story of how he got from one point to the other and the framework he built along the way to help other people do the same.That framework is called MAP LAMP and it comes straight out of his book Adapt in Advance. Meaning making, Action, Plan, Learn, Alliance formation, Mission statement and Prayers. Wole walks through each piece with real stories from his own life, not just theory. He talks about the mentor who wrote him letters every week when he had nobody else checking in on him. He talks about waking up at 1am to study during his hardest year of medical school in Nigeria. He talks about the moment in his fourth year of med school when he made the decision that his story would not define him in a negative way and how that single choice changed the direction of everything after it.We get into how he uses Viktor Frankl's work on meaning to process his own losses, why he calls therapy, medication and lifestyle the three legs of the same stool, and why he thinks people wildly underestimate what small daily actions can do for mental health. He walks 10,000 steps a day, listens to a book a week during his commute and still makes time to write inside the pages of physical books when something hits him hard enough. None of it is complicated. All of it adds up.This conversation is for anyone who has been handed a rough start and wondered what to do with it. Wole doesn't offer easy answers or pretend the hard years didn't hurt. He talks openly about grief, about the seasons in his own life that looked a lot like major depression, and about what it actually takes to build a life on the other side of loss without pretending the loss never happened.If you are in a season where things feel shattered, or you love someone who is, this episode gives you language and a framework for rising again that doesn't require you to have it all figured out first.Connect with Dr. Wole Babatunde and grab a copy of Adapt in Advance through the links in the show notes.

Welcome to Fertility & Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility & Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Views and Reviews from the May 2026 edition of Fertility and Sterility entitled "Male Infertility and Immune Function."  This Views and Reviews brought together experts, some of whom we will be interviewing today, who evaluated and summarized the evidence on how the immune system plays a role in male fertility and infertility in general. We know that infertility is caused, at least in part, by a male component in about 50% of cases, and we are appreciative to our guests for joining us in discussion today. We encourage all of our listeners to read the full articles in the journal as we will not be able to cover all the content in this episode. Dr. Michael L. Eisenberg is a Professor of Urology and Obstetrics & Gynecology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.  He is the director of Men's Health at Stanford.  Dr. Eisenberg's NIH-funded laboratory seeks to understand the association between a man's reproductive, sexual, and overall health.  Dr. Marcelo Mass Lindenbaum is a clinical research fellow at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, soon to be transitioning to his urology residency at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. His primary academic research focuses on male infertility and its relationship with the urologic microbiome, and infection risks associated with prosthetic surgery. Dr. Scott Lundy is a Staff Urologist and Surgeon Scientist at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation who specializes in male reproductive medicine, sexual dysfunction, and microsurgery. Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Lundy leads significant research efforts, including establishing a multi-institutional consortium to advance the study and treatment of male infertility.

Most adults who smoke want to quit, and about half try to do so in any given year, yet fewer than one in ten succeed. That persistent gap between intention and outcome is one of the central challenges in public health, and it's exactly the kind of problem that calls for new thinking about how to communicate with people to support behavior change.  Dr. Amanda Graham has been a leading force in doing just that in her role as chief health officer at Truth Initiative, the nation's largest non-profit public health organization dedicated to preventing addiction among young people and helping people of all ages to quit tobacco. On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, Dr. Graham, who holds a PhD in clinical health psychology and has done 25 years of NIH-funded research focused on technology-based cessation interventions, helps us understand the interplay between behavioral science and digital communications in the field. "A well-timed message can really be powerful in interrupting what for many people is kind of an automatic behavior, especially via text, which data tell us is an extraordinarily powerful modality,” she explains to host Lindsey Smith.  Tune-in to understand where the field is heading, and to learn about: Why "push" technology may work better than apps and websites when it comes to breaking automatic behaviors; How the rise of e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and heated tobacco has scrambled decades of public health messaging; How highschool smoking rates plunged from over 30% to less than 2%.

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes Charlessa Thatcher and Theda Zawaiza — two practitioners who have dedicated their lives to bringing qigong, tai chi, and other integrative movement practices to diverse and underserved communities. Charlessa, a certified Tai Chi EZ Senior Trainer, Qigong instructor, and licensed social worker, and Theda, a Qigong and Tai Chi teacher, massage practitioner, and former federal education policy analyst with a PhD, share their personal journeys into energy medicine and explain the foundational principles of qigong and tai chi — including the concept of qi (life force energy), meridians, and how these practices cultivate healing from within. Charlessa shares her remarkable story of being diagnosed with multiple myeloma and undergoing two transplants — a stem cell transplant and a T-cell transplant — during which her daily qigong practice became a cornerstone of her recovery. Her joy and presence in the hospital were so palpable that nurses, doctors, and chaplains began asking to join her practice sessions. Theda also shares her own path to qigong through chronic back pain and the stress of decades working on Capitol Hill, and both guests explain the science behind their practices, including NIH-funded research showing benefits for stress reduction, cardiovascular health, immune function, chronic pain management, and fall prevention in older adults. Together, Charlessa and Theda have launched Wellness Essentials, a women-owned, African American-owned business offering free and donation-based qigong, yoga, meditation, and pain management programming to communities that have historically had little access to these healing modalities.

Del Bigtree, Emmy Award-winning producer, founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and host of The Highwire, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a thought-provoking conversation on medical informed consent, government transparency, and the question he believes everybody should be asking. Del is the executive producer of the documentary An Inconvenient Study, viewed more than 130 million times worldwide, and through ICAN has pursued more than 1,000 FOIA requests and legal actions involving the FDA, CDC, NIH, and HHS. Del shares the nine-year backstory behind the film — from a 2016 dinner challenge with Henry Ford Health's head of infectious disease to the hidden-camera footage and the two-month sprint to finish the documentary — along with why he believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage of truth, where his fearlessness comes from, and the faith that anchors his work. The conversation closes with Del's megaphone message to the world: speak your truth, get involved, and let go of fear.KEY TAKEAWAYS(02:06) The handshake bet that started it all — Del's 2016 dinner with Dr. Marcus Zervos of Henry Ford Health, and the admission Del calls one of the most remarkable he's ever heard from a pro-vaccine scientist(04:59) The study gets done in 2020 — and why Dr. Zervos refused to publish it, captured on hidden camera at a second dinner in 2021(06:36) The phone call that changed everything — Senator Ron Johnson agrees to publish the study on the Senate website, giving Del just two months to make a documentary he thought needed a year(08:13) Two awards at FreedomFest — and why Del says he still gets tears in his eyes watching the finished film(10:59) Why Del says this is now "repeatable science" — what he describes as the 10th–12th study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, all pointing the same direction(13:00) Del's challenge to the New York Times and Washington Post — "show your evidence" — and how he says the expert defense has shifted(16:44) The communicator's craft — how Del layered animation, music, visuals, and nine years of Highwire interviews to make a complex subject land for every kind of learner in just 70 minutes(19:30) Taking the film to Italy, France, Poland, England, the Netherlands, and Japan — nearly 10 languages and counting, with free translations on request(20:53) The Australian Senate moment — how Del realized the study at the center of his film is reaching health departments on the other side of the world(22:46) Schopenhauer's three stages of truth — why Del believes we're in the "violently opposed" stage, and the vaccinated-versus-unvaccinated study he says RFK Jr. is still fighting to complete at HHS(29:17) Why Del is optimistic — the 15% it has historically taken to change a system, and the 30% he believes "can't be hypnotized"(34:49) Where his courage comes from — parents who marched in the 1960s and celebrated his challenges, an unshakeable optimism, and a faith that leaves no room for fear(37:32) Del's biggest heroes — from Andy Wakefield and RFK Jr. to the unsung heroes history will never name(39:48) What he'd tell his 18-year-old self who dreamed of being the next Spielberg — "you have no idea how much fun your life is going to be"(42:43) Del's biggest concern for the years ahead — global governance, AI, and why he says rebellion is in our DNA(46:08) Del's megaphone message to the world: wake up every morning, ask what you can do to make the world better — then listen, and go do itIf you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consult

What happens when government scientists decide they can no longer stay silent? In this episode of We Want Them Infected, Jonathan Howard and Wendy Orent welcome Dr. Jenna Norton and Dr. Sylvia Chou—two former NIH scientists who helped organize and sign the Bethesda Declaration, an open letter raising concerns about political interference in biomedical research at the National Institutes of Health. The conversation explores why hundreds of NIH employees came together to publicly challenge policies they say undermined scientific integrity, disrupted clinical research, and created a culture of fear within one of the world's leading research institutions. Dr. Norton and Dr. Chou discuss the events leading to the Declaration, the difficult personal decisions they faced, and what they believe has changed one year later. They also examine the broader implications for public trust, scientific independence, and the future of federally funded medical research. Whether you agree or disagree with their conclusions, this episode offers an inside perspective from scientists who experienced these events firsthand. In This Episode The origins of the Bethesda Declaration Why NIH scientists chose to publicly dissent Allegations of political influence over scientific research Grant terminations and their impact on ongoing clinical trials How censorship concerns affected researchers inside NIH The culture of fear described by current and former NIH employees The challenges facing early-career scientists Scientific integrity versus political priorities Why the authors say courage and transparency matter in public health Reflections one year after the Bethesda Declaration Key Takeaways Scientific institutions depend on open debate and independent inquiry. Research funding decisions can have lasting consequences for patients and public health. Whistleblowing often comes with significant personal and professional risk. Public trust in science requires transparency and accountability. The future of biomedical research depends on protecting scientific integrity. Subscribe to We Want Them Infected for thoughtful conversations examining the policies, decisions, and scientific debates that continue to shape public health.

Everyone celebrates the weight GLP-1s take off, almost no one warns you about the volume they quietly pull out of your face and the loose skin you can't train away.

CBP wanted to stop Covid co-conspirator Peter Daszak upon his return to the US from China after "investigating" the origins of the virus on behalf of the NIH, but the FBI stopped them. Why? What did the FBI know YEARS AGO that they didn't want us to know? Sunny Hostin plays her privilege card after her son gets cited by police for trespassing. The Flock Camera issue is a much bigger problem than we imagined, especially for an Arizona community where license plate readers are being disguised as construction barrels.     

Calling it a “lab leak” makes the story feel tidy, but the real scandal might be the system that makes lab-origin disasters plausible in the first place. We sit down with independent journalist Sam Husseini to unpack gain-of-function research, why “potentially pandemic pathogens” are funded and defended, and how a small circle of incentives, prestige, and national security framing can turn high-risk virology into business as usual. We also dig into why Sam avoids the word “unintentional” and why the most important question isn't only where a virus started, but what oversight failed and what evidence still hasn't been disclosed. We talk through the stakes in plain terms: biosafety risk, biosecurity risk, and why scenarios involving smallpox retention, Ebola work, or a weaponized bird flu should terrify policymakers and the public alike. We also examine the transparency gap, including how Freedom of Information Act delays can stall accountability for years, leaving journalists and citizens unable to evaluate funding streams, conflicts of interest, and decision-making inside institutions tied to NIH, Fauci-era priorities, and international lab networks. Then we pivot to foreign policy and apply the same skepticism to war narratives. Sam lays out a “strategic patience” view of the Middle East, arguing that a 1990s Iraq-style pressure campaign could be repurposed against Iran, with shifting pretexts and timed escalations that shape headlines and push Gaza off the agenda. If you care about gain-of-function research, biowarfare history, pandemic origins, and how information control works in both science and war, this conversation is for you.

The Small Business Administration is ramping up its relationship with Palantir, announcing a “new phase” in its anti-fraud work with the data analytics and software giant. In a press release Tuesday, the SBA said it's formalizing and expanding its work with Palantir after signing a $300,000 contract in January for a fraud prevention pilot and bootcamp. That deal had a projected end date of April 4, but the agency said in the release that the “collaboration” with Palantir will now continue through “ongoing efforts to identify, investigate, and help prosecute fraud in pandemic-era small business relief programs.” The agency pointed specifically to its Paycheck Protection Program and COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program as areas previously beset by fraud. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement that the Palantir partnership “will strengthen our ability to expose fraudulent actors, support criminal enforcement actions, and recover stolen funds with advanced technology and artificial intelligence.” “No amount of fraud is acceptable — whether it is $10,000 or $10 million — which is why the SBA is deploying these tools to accelerate our work to surface wrongdoing and ensure those who cheated taxpayer-funded programs face consequences,” she added. The National Institutes of Health selected Kristen Honey, a longtime government data and technology official, to head up its coordination of public-private research partnerships. In a social media post, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT announced Honey as the inaugural official in the NIH role. As part of her duties, Honey will help “to build robust partnership models, reduce duplication, improve transparency, and move promising ideas from concept to execution with greater speed and consistency in collaboration with” ONC and across the department, per the post. The chief partnerships officer role is housed in the Office of the Director's Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, per the post. “The ‘wicked problems' that I run toward—complex, interdisciplinary challenges no one wants to own and that require cross-sector solutions—just got bigger. Joining NIH as Chief Partnerships Officer,” Honey said in a LinkedIn post. Honey has served in various HHS and White House roles over the past decade — including as HHS's chief data officer. Honey was initially installed as CDO after President Joe Biden's administration reorganization of its IT, data and artificial intelligence portfolio.

Living with depression has been described as "like living under a wet, heavy blanket". It can stop someone from showing up at work, meeting up with friends, and even connecting with their family.  One out of every two people living with MS will experience depression at some point in their MS journey. The METS for MS study is focused on a novel approach to treating major depressive disorder among people with MS -- one that doesn't require another infusion, injection, or pill. This week, Dr. Robert Motl, principal investigator for the METS for MS study, joins us to explain what the study is about and what his team is learning.  And Kelly, who lives with progressive MS, joins us to share how her participation in the study became life-changing.  We'll also tell you about the $500,000 donation to MS research that Fernando Mendoza and his family just made. We're sharing the details about the CAR-NKT cell therapy for MS that's being developed at UCLA. You'll learn about the novel nanoparticle therapy for MS that's being developed by a team at Syracuse University's BioInspired Institute.

Primary care in America is under pressure from nearly every direction: physician shortages, long appointment wait times, rising patient demand, and a care model still built around physical offices. The U.S. is expected to face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036, according to projections from the Association of American Medical Colleges, while federal shortage-area data continues to show gaps in primary care access across the country. At the same time, virtual care and AI are moving from pandemic-era workarounds to core infrastructure for how patients find, receive, and navigate care.But as the technology catches up to the need, can healthcare use it in a way that preserves what matters most: the relationship between patient and doctor?Welcome to I Don't Care. In the latest episode, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson sits down with Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of HealthTap, to explore the evolution of virtual care, the failures of traditional primary care, and the proper role of AI in medicine. Their conversation spans the early days of online medical information, the rise of telehealth, HealthTap's shift toward virtual primary care, and why Dr. Rutledge believes technology should strengthen clinicians rather than replace them.What you'll learn…Virtual care is no longer just “digital urgent care.” Dr. Rutledge argues that telehealth began as a transactional service for immediate needs, but its real potential is longitudinal virtual primary care, where physicians can build relationships, understand lifestyle factors, and guide patients over time.Access problems are not limited to rural communities. While telehealth is often framed as a rural health solution, Dr. Rutledge and Dr. Stevenson discuss how patients in urban and suburban markets also face barriers such as traffic, childcare, mobility issues, and months-long waits for appointments.AI should support clinical judgment, not substitute for it. Dr. Rutledge says large language models are powerful tools for information retrieval, differential diagnosis, and reminding physicians of possibilities they may not have considered. But he cautions that AI is still weak at planning, prioritization, and understanding patient preferences, making physician oversight essential.Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge is a practicing physician, entrepreneur, and digital health leader with more than 30 years of experience applying technology to improve healthcare access, delivery, and outcomes. He is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of HealthTap, and previously held senior leadership roles at Healtheon/WebMD, Epocrates, Wellsphere, San Mateo Medical Center, and First Consulting Group. Dr. Rutledge earned his MD from McGill University and his PhD in medical computer science from Stanford, and has taught medicine at Harvard, Stanford, and UCSD while conducting NIH-funded research in medical informatics.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/tectonpodcast In this episode with Dr. Mike Chesne, founder of Tecton Ketones™, you'll hear how a traumatic brain injury sustained in combat led him from Army Special Forces medic to ketone biochemist, and why he eventually built what he believes is a meaningfully better exogenous ketone molecule than anything else currently on the market. We get into the real biochemical differences between ketone salts, ketone esters, and bioidentical beta-hydroxybutyrate, why the liver matters so much in how these molecules get metabolized, and a full walkthrough of Tecton's plant-based liposomal delivery system. You'll also hear about all four Tecton product formulations, the dual agonist effect ketones may have on hunger and fullness signaling, and the proposed mechanism behind why ketones may improve exercise recovery. Dr. Mike Chesne founded Tecton after a 25-year career in United States Army Special Operations. His interest in exogenous ketones began after researching a DARPA-funded project led by Oxford University and the NIH. Use code BEN for 16% off your entire order at bengreenfieldlife.com/tecton.

Candace Pert discovered the opioid receptor, created a drug to stop AIDS in the brain, and identified stress as a cause of disease.  She also inadvertently unleashed the overdose epidemic, got kicked out of the NIH, and was denied credit for much of her work.  Largely forgotten, Pert was a trailblazing yet mercurial neuroscientist. Emmy award winning writer and producer Pamela Ryckman shines a light on Pert's breakthroughs and her fascinating legacy on the podcast.   For a transcript and more information about this episode use this link:  https://bit.ly/4vuMoiG   For more about our guest's book:  https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/contributor/pamela-ryckman/

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Ivy Harris, a homeschool mom of four, researcher, and soon-to-be certified homeopath behind the blog Done with Diligence, for part one of a two-part conversation on the hidden risks of mammograms and breast cancer screening. Ivy is not a doctor. She's a mom who decided she wasn't going to walk into her first mammogram without doing her own homework first, and what she found is the reason this episode exists.It started with one post, Ivy broke down what she'd learned about mammograms into five parts, shared it, and watched it split her audience in half, with some women thanking her and others telling her she was going to get people killed. Dr. Jenn picks up exactly where Ivy left off and does the math no one does at check-in: 40 million screening mammograms a year, and by the numbers in the study Ivy found, the radiation alone works out to tens of thousands of cancers and over a thousand deaths a year. This is the episode you'll want to send to every woman who's ever been told a mammogram is simply safe, simply necessary, and not worth questioning.What You'll LearnThe naming decision behind "mammogram" that Dr. Jenn says was never an accidentIonizing radiation is a classified carcinogen, and why radiologists won't apply that logic to their own testThe cross-country flight radiation comparison doctors use to reassure you, and why it doesn't hold upHow breast density and size can mean 10x more radiation for one woman than another in the same mammogramWhy younger breast tissue takes more damage from radiation as screening age keeps getting pushed lowerOverdiagnosis: the NIH's own number is as high as 1 in 2 women screenedWhy DCIS, diagnosed in 90,000 women a year, has no physical route to become life-threatening breast cancerHow standard DCIS treatment can raise heart failure and fracture risk higher than the diagnosis itselfFalse positives and the 80% benign biopsy rate hiding behind every mammogram callbackWhat a 2026 American College of Physicians paper found on mammograms and breast cancer mortality, at every ageWhy decades of mammography have increased mastectomies by 20%, the opposite of what screening promisedLead time bias: how a screening test can look life-saving on paper without changing when anyone actually diesThe UK surgeon forced to resign for telling women the truth about mammogram screeningEpisode Timeline:00:00 Introducing Ivy Harris and Done with Diligence02:27 Why Ivy researched mammogram safety before her first screening03:00 Going past the rumors to the actual breast cancer research04:13 Her viral mammogram post and the backlash that followed05:32 Standing firm on breast cancer screening controversy07:39 Radiation risks: why a mammogram is a breast x-ray09:12 The studies linking mammogram radiation to breast cancer11:14 How radiation damages younger breast tissue13:36 The math: 40 million mammograms and radiation-induced cancer deaths17:59 Overdiagnosis and unnecessary breast cancer treatment26:14 The train analogy for mammogram overdiagnosis28:12 How breast cancer actually progresses versus the screening myth32:29 The real harm of overdiagnosis and overtreatment34:54 Why mammograms don't reduce all-cause breast cancer mortality50:15 Lead time bias and misleading screening survival statistics52:04 Michael Baum, saving breasts, and a Part 2 previewResources Mentioned:American College of Physicians, Annals of Internal Medicine, April 2026: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M22-3424Guest: Ivy HarrisWhere to find her: Done with Diligence  & @donewithdiligenceTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.

Welcome to Episode 315 of Autism Parenting Secrets. When we think about chronic illness, it's easy to focus on the diagnosis. But what if the diagnosis is only the visible expression of a much deeper systems problem? After her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Martha Carlin refused to settle for symptom management alone.  Instead, she spent years studying nutrition, toxic exposures, and the gut microbiome, eventually uncovering important connections between Parkinson's, autism, and many other chronic conditions. Our conversation explores why so many families may be missing beneficial microbes, how modern life has disrupted our internal ecosystem, why testing can provide valuable insights when interpreted correctly, and what practical steps parents can take to begin restoring microbial balance. Whether your child has autism or another complex condition, this episode offers a fresh way to think about health by focusing on root causes instead of symptoms. The secret this week is… Restore the Missing Microbes You'll Discover: Why systems thinking changed everything for Martha (2:07) Why missing microbes matter more than you think (8:34) How to think about microbiome testing (10:40) Why C-section births can influence early microbial development (24:45) What makes a probiotic more than just another supplement (29:17) About Our Guest: Martha Carlin is a scientist, microbiome innovator, systems thinker, founder of BiotiQuest and The BioCollective, and author of Connected: Love, Loss, and the Unseen Forces Behind Chronic Disease. After her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Martha left a successful corporate career to better understand the biological roots of chronic illness. Her work explores how disruptions in the gut microbiome contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, neurological decline, and other chronic conditions. She founded BiotiQuest, a science-based probiotic company, and developed Sugar Shift, a patented probiotic clinically shown to reduce endotoxin levels and improve insulin sensitivity. She also partners with Ancient Organics Biosciences, helping bridge soil health and human health through innovative microbial solutions. Martha has collaborated with researchers at Caltech, the University of Chicago, and University College Cork. She has received a $1.2 million NIH grant, spoken at the White House Microbiome Initiative, delivered a widely viewed TEDx talk, and currently serves as a Research Fellow at the Australian National University.

Utiliza técnicas de farmacologia, imunofluorescência, eletrofisiologia celular, optogenética, quimiogenética, fotometria e comportamento para desvendar a cascata de eventos neurais associadas às escolhas arriscadas. Sempre buscou integrar o desenvolvimento científico à comunicação científica, tendo fundado diferentes canais de divulgação como o Prisma Científico, o Eureka Brasil e, mais atualmente, o NeuroAthens. Site do laboratório: abrahaolab.com Bem recentemente, começou um trabalho dentro da FAPESP (FUndação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo), como assessora científica interna. Lattes: http://lattes.cnpq.br/1245502652994136 * APOIE O NARUHODO! O Altay e eu temos duas mensagens pra você. A primeira é: muito, muito obrigado pela sua audiência. Sem ela, o Naruhodo sequer teria sentido de existir. Você nos ajuda demais não só quando ouve, mas também quando espalha episódios para familiares, amigos - e, por que não?, inimigos. A segunda mensagem é: existe uma outra forma de apoiar o Naruhodo, a ciência e o pensamento científico - apoiando financeiramente o nosso projeto de podcast semanal independente, que só descansa no recesso do fim de ano. Manter o Naruhodo tem custos e despesas: servidores, domínio, pesquisa, produção, edição, atendimento, tempo... Enfim, muitas coisas para cobrir - e, algumas delas, em dólar. A gente sabe que nem todo mundo pode apoiar financeiramente. E tá tudo bem. Tente mandar um episódio para alguém que você conhece e acha que vai gostar. A gente sabe que alguns podem, mas não mensalmente. E tá tudo bem também. Você pode apoiar quando puder e cancelar quando quiser.  O apoio mínimo é de 15 reais e pode ser feito pela plataforma ORELO ou pela plataforma APOIA-SE. Para quem está fora do Brasil, temos até a plataforma PATREON. É isso, gente. Estamos enfrentando um momento importante e você pode ajudar a combater o negacionismo e manter a chama da ciência acesa. Então, fica aqui o nosso convite: apóie o Naruhodo como puder. bit.ly/naruhodo-no-orelo
