What happens when the womb is treated as separate from the rest of women's health? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Kemi Doll, double board-certified gynecologic oncologist, equity scientist, researcher, coach, and author of A Terrible Strength: The Hidden Crisis of the Black Womb and Your Survival Guide to Healing, for a powerful conversation about womb health, uterine cancer, fibroids, HRT, health equity, and why so many women are still being taught to normalize symptoms that deserve care.Together, they explore why womb health is not only about pregnancy, fertility, or menopause, but a lifelong part of women's physical, emotional, hormonal, and whole-body health. Dr. Doll shares how her grandmother's death in childbirth, her mother's near-death experience, and her own work as a gynecologic cancer surgeon shaped her mission to bring the uterus back into the center of women's health.Dr. Taz and Dr. Doll also discuss why uterine cancer is rising, why Black women are twice as likely to die after a uterine cancer diagnosis, and how gaps in research, screening, and diagnostic tools may leave women of color especially vulnerable. They unpack the role of ultrasound, endometrial thickness, post-menopausal bleeding, and why women need clearer conversations with their providers when something feels off.This conversation also takes a closer look at the explosion of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, and the questions every woman with a uterus should be asking. Dr. Doll explains why estrogen without proper progesterone protection can increase uterine cancer risk, why some women may not understand the role progesterone plays, and why monitoring the uterus matters when using hormones.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

She later worked with NINDS at NIH, supporting SBIR-funded companies with business support. Today, she brings that experience to her work with founders as they build, finance, and scale life science and healthcare companies.  

June is men's health and mental health awareness month with the theme, "It's not weak to speak". Emotional wellness is defined as "the ability to successfully handle life's stresses and adapt to change and difficult times." It's unfortunate that when discussing men's health, we often neglect to mention or include emotional wellness. Our mere humanity includes assessing our emotional health. NIH provides an emotional wellness checklist that may be beneficial for men to improve their mental health. Let's talk about emotional resilience. www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

In the first edition of the Conspirituality Book Club, Derek dives into Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms Us by Julia Belluz and Kevin Hall, PhD. First, he looks at how RFK Jr and Jay Bhattacharya forced Hall out of his nutrition research position at the NIH in 2025. Then he covers some of the book's most intriguing findings, including: Why most people don't have "slow metabolism" Why most of us don't actually need more protein The origins of the wellness industry's fascination with products over science Why ultra-processed foods are actually dangerous (it's not what MAHA claims) The importance of calorie absorption Those microbiome tests are more scam than science Show Notes Food Intelligence: The Science of How Food Both Nourishes and Harms Us Learn more about your ad choices.

At 20 years old, newly arrived from Puerto Rico and trying to build a future in science, Benjamin Suarez Jimenez found himself sitting in front of two senior faculty members accused of plagiarism. He knew the material. He had done the work. His mistake came from failing to cite class notes during an exam because nobody had told him that was expected. In a matter of minutes, he watched what felt like his entire career flash before him.On this episode of Standard Deviation, host Oliver Bogler examines the hidden architecture of academic science through the experiences of Dr. Benjamin Suarez Jimenez, Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester and a neuroscientist studying PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and spatial cognition through virtual reality and video game environments.Benjamin traces his path from Puerto Rico to the mainland United States, through the NIH, Columbia University, and eventually to leading his own laboratory. Along the way, he encountered a series of barriers that had little to do with scientific ability and everything to do with access to unwritten rules. From academic gatekeeping to grant writing expectations, he learned that success in biomedical research often depends on knowledge that never appears in a textbook.Oliver explores how those invisible obstacles shape careers, influence research funding, and determine who gains access to opportunity. The conversation also examines the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Program at the Life Science Editors Foundation, which pairs scientists from underrepresented backgrounds with experienced scientific editors. Through that mentorship, Benjamin transformed a critical grant proposal into a successful pilot award that helped launch an NIH R01 application.The discussion extends beyond one scientist's experience. Benjamin describes helping a former mentee navigate dissertation roadblocks that threatened her graduation, illustrating how institutional bureaucracy can delay careers and discourage talented researchers. Together, they explore the hidden administrative burden, cultural barriers, and bias that many scientists carry alongside their research, and what happens when someone who receives support turns around and opens the door for others.RELATED LINKSLife Science Editors FoundationBenjamin Suarez Jimenez LabDr. Benjamin Suarez JimenezBenjamin Suarez JimenezFEEDBACKLike this episode?

O življenju prvih kristjanov beremo v Apostolskih delih: »Množica teh, ki so sprejeli vero, je bila kakor eno srce in ena duša. Nihče ni trdil, da je to, kar ima, njegova last, temveč jim je bilo vse skupno …

Heat hits differently when you're a burn survivor—and this week, we're getting into the science behind why. ☀️Rachel and Amber sit down with Dr. Craig Crandall, Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Director of the Thermal and Vascular Physiology Laboratory at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. For over 20 years, Dr. Crandall has been continuously funded by the NIH to study the long-term thermoregulatory and cardiovascular effects of severe burn injuries and he brings all of that expertise to the table in this conversation.We dig into how Dr. Crandall first found his way into burn research, what actually happens in a survivor's body during heat stress, and why heat tolerance looks so different after a burn injury. From there, we walk through the Burn Survivor Heat Risk Calculator—breaking down what each input means (think TBSA, burn location, body weight, activity level, and more) and why it matters for your safety. We also cover cooling strategies, why your heart rate might spike in the heat, and the critical role hydration plays in regulating your body temperature.

Today's Headlines: Trump attended the Knicks game last night, shutting down a 10-block radius around Madison Square Garden to sit with owner James Dolan and the usual suspects of administration figures — all of whom got to watch their boss get booed louder than the Spurs during the National Anthem. Trump spent the next morning posting at 5am that Israel and Iran must stop "shooting", which neither country is taking seriously given that strikes continued yesterday despite him reportedly calling Netanyahu directly to ask him to stop — again. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt officially lost the LA mayoral race to progressive Nithya Raman, who will face Karen Bass in November, and Trump responded by claiming without evidence that "two republicans are being cheated" in California, using the state's slow vote-counting as cover to pre-seed election fraud claims — a preview of his midterm strategy. In other news, five cases of flesh-eating New World screwworm have now been confirmed across Texas and New Mexico, with the USDA building a $750 million sterile fly factory in Texas to combat it, while RFK Jr. — according to multiple colleagues — has shown "little interest in managing the details of his department" and is instead hunting for evidence that vaccines are harmful, receiving almost no Ebola briefings, and leaving nearly half of NIH's 27 institutes without permanent directors. The Pentagon accidentally deleted Mormons from its approved religion list, added them back after Senator Mike Lee lost his mind, then failed to classify them as Christians — a three-step own goal that somehow happened in one week. And OpenAI filed its IPO paperwork with the SEC, becoming the third trillion-dollar AI company to go public after Anthropic and SpaceX, in what was described in an unsigned blog post as something they're announcing only because "we expect it to leak" — which is a strange way to announce a trillion-dollar IPO.

If you've ever said "I'm so disciplined in my career, I just don't have it in me for fitness," this episode is for you. I'm breaking down a client archetype I've never spoken to directly on the show, the rebel: the high-achieving woman who knows exactly what to do, has the coach and the plan, and still acts against her own self-interest. Swaps different movements in than what's in her programmed session because she "can," eats around her macros vs hitting them because it "doesn't matter that much," and half-follows the plan she's paying for. Inspired by a conversation with a seven-figure-business-owner friend (I call her Elise), I unpack why the rebel and her apparent opposite - the overcomplier who does too much - are actually running the same program: both are responding to control. We get into what your rebellion is really protecting (a sanctuary, an exit, your ego), why "discipline fatigue" is actually redirection, and how your own expertise becomes a factory for credible excuses. Then I get practical: how to tell when the rebel is onto something versus just creating noise, the prediction test for catching yourself, what real coaching leadership looks like for a high-agency woman, and a concrete framework (Elise's "bottom lining") for making honest decisions with full information. The goal was never to kill the rebel. It's to put you back in the driver's seat so your discipline finally serves you instead of being burned in protest. -- This episode is brought to you by AX3 Life.

Sulforaphane, Detox Pathways, and the Science of Microplastic Removal Microplastics are building up inside your brain, blood, and reproductive tissue, and most detox protocols do nothing to remove them. This episode gives you the cellular science behind why toxins accumulate, which three detox pathways control your ability to excrete them, and what the latest research shows actually moves microplastics, heavy metals, BPA, and benzene out of your body.. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -For next week, 25% off all Mara Labs products when you go to www.mara-labs.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. John Gildea, a Johns Hopkins-trained PhD with 60 scientific publications and over 20 NIH-funded studies, and David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs and co-creator of BrocElite, the only naturally derived stable form of sulforaphane available in a capsule. Together they bring decades of research-backed biohacking and functional medicine insight into one of the most pressing longevity conversations of our time. They break down the lysosome, your cell's built-in incinerator, and explain exactly why it gets clogged with microplastics, advanced glycation end products, and other toxins that won't break down. New research shows that sulforaphane triggers a process called lysosomal surface translocation, which releases those trapped particles so your body can finally excrete them. An in-house Mara Labs study confirmed the excretion pathway: microplastics come out in feces. In the original study, the individual measured the highest microplastic levels ever recorded, and a repeat study a year later showed dramatically lower baseline microplastic levels, suggesting consistent use compounds the benefit over time. You'll Learn: Why microplastics accumulate inside lysosomes and what sulforaphane does to release them How the three detox pathways, glutathione, glucuronidation, and sulfation, work together to remove every major class of toxin What an in-house study revealed about how and where microplastics actually leave the body How toxic estrogen metabolites form and why sulforaphane is the most effective natural tool to reroute them Why berberine supports sleep optimization, ketosis, and blocks a cancer growth pathway most drugs cannot touch How sulforaphane boosts BDNF and neuroplasticity at the cellular level What microplastic sources in your home, including your dryer, rugs, and receipts, are doing to your toxin load daily Why losing weight releases stored toxins and what to take to protect your brain and metabolism during fat loss How sulforaphane activates the same AMPK longevity pathways triggered by fasting without restricting food Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - HeartMath | Go to https://www.heartmath.com/dave to save 15% off. - Timeline | Go to timeline.com/dave and you'll get an additional 20% off your first month - Our Place | Stop cooking with toxic cookware and upgrade to Our Place today.

In this Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a wave of biological, political, and security threats hitting the US and the world simultaneously, from flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas to a jihad-sympathizing doctor now headed to Congress. The screwworm confirmation in LaPryor, TX is the opening shot of what Bryan says will be a serious blow to America's beef supply, compounded by historic drought across the West and Midwest that is forcing ranchers to sell off their best herds. On the national security front, Bryan breaks down the newly elected New Jersey Democrat with documented ties to the Blind Sheikh and an al-Qaeda front operation in Bosnia, and explains why he believes the Democratic Party's embrace of this candidate represents something far more dangerous than politics as usual. Plus, Bryan covers the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire unraveling in real time, a mysterious group of men working through New York City's sewer system in the middle of the night, a superseding DOJ indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center revealing decades of manufactured hate, and a major geopolitical win in the Pacific as the Solomon Islands moves to sever its ties with China.

Send us Fan MailFructose survival hypothesis: how fructose metabolism in the liver triggers ATP depletion, uric acid production, oxidative stress, lipogenesis & leptin resistance.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Glucose vs Fructose Metabolism: Fructose is rapidly metabolized in the liver by fructokinase without feedback, causing ATP depletion and uric acid production, unlike glucose metabolism.Liver Effects: Fructose induces uric acid production, NADPH oxidase activation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and de novo lipogenesis even under caloric restriction.Fructose Survival Hypothesis: Fructose signaling promotes fat storage, leptin resistance, foraging behavior, and metabolic syndrome as adaptations for hibernation or starvation, including metabolic water production.Brain Impacts: Endogenous fructose production from glucose (polyol pathway) triggered by high glucose, salt, or stress leads to insulin resistance, mitochondrial damage, and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's-vulnerable regions.Evolutionary Context: Human uricase mutation ~12 million years ago enhanced fructose effects for fat storage during seasonal starvation but increases vulnerability today.Modern Triggers: Added sugars, high fructose corn syrup, salt-sugar combinations, and omega-6 fats synergize with fructose to amplify inflammation, appetite, and disease risk.Alzheimer's Link: Fructose-driven brain changes mirror Alzheimer's pathology, with high brain fructose in patients and potential for fructokinase inhibitors as therapy.ABOUT THE GUEST: Richard Johnson MD, is a professor of medicine who has conducted clinical practice and NIH-funded research on sugar metabolism since the late 1990s. His work focuses on the role of fructose in metabolic syndrome, obesity, and related diseases.RELATED CONTENT:Article | Dietary Fructose & Metabolic Health: An Evolutionary PerspectiveM&M 249: Fructose, Microglia, Anxiety & Brain Development | Justin Perry | 249Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl probe the facts beneath healthcare's biggest headlines. Today's show examines the accelerating progress of generative AI, the political turmoil inside America's leading health agencies and the infectious disease threats testing the nation's public health readiness. The conversation opens with a listener question about how close generative AI is to matching clinicians. Dr. Pearl explains that the technology is advancing faster than he predicted in ChatGPT, MD, with recent research showing an OpenAI model outperforming experienced physicians on emergency room triage and management in text-based clinical cases. He cautions that medicine is more complicated than written scenarios but argues that the trajectory is clear: before today's incoming medical students finish training, generative AI tools are likely to be used in emergency rooms across the country From there, the episode turns to the resignation of former FDA commissioner and Dr. Marty Makary, a two-time Fixing Healthcare guest. Pearl describes Makary as a respected clinician and patient-safety expert who found himself caught between scientific rigor, political pressure, industry opposition and public health critics. His departure, along with other leadership upheaval at FDA, CDC, NIH and HHS, raises a larger concern about whether America's once-trusted scientific agencies can regain their independence and credibility. Here are the other major storylines from episode 107: RFK Jr. removes preventive-care leaders. Pearl criticizes the firing of two respected co-chairs of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, warning that prevention policy may be pushed away from scientific evidence. The surgeon general nomination moving toward confirmation. Nicole Safier appears more confirmable than Dr. Casey Means because her vaccine views are closer to the scientific mainstream. A hantavirus outbreak raises public health concerns. A cruise ship outbreak involving the Andes virus appears to have spread person-to-person, causing at least 13 cases, several severe illnesses and three deaths. The U.S. remains vulnerable to fast-moving outbreaks. Pearl says the slow federal response to hantavirus shows how weakened public health capacity could become dangerous if a highly lethal virus were also easily transmissible. Tick bites are rising sharply. ER visits related to tick bites have climbed well above typical levels, driven in part by warmer temperatures and the spread of deer ticks into the Midwest and South. Ebola exposes the cost of global health cuts. A new Ebola strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo has no vaccine or effective treatment, and the outbreak was recognized only after spreading for weeks. USAID and WHO cuts increase risk to Americans. Pearl argues that reducing global public health support does not put “America first” because viruses ignore national borders. Patients should be more concerned when doctors avoid AI entirely. Pearl says he would worry more about clinicians who refuse to use reliable generative AI tools than those who consult them regularly. Opioid overdose deaths are falling but remain devastating. New CDC data show overdose deaths down for the third straight year, but annual fatalities still total roughly 70,000, with overdoses remaining the leading cause of death among adults ages 18 to 44. Vaccine safety data are being suppressed. Pearl closes by describing blocked FDA and CDC research showing COVID and shingles vaccines to be safe and effective, warning that political censorship undermines trust and harms patients. Tune in for more fact-based analysis and practical perspective on the healthcare policies, technologies and trends shaping medicine today. * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of “ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

Dr. Paul Reynolds has spent his career studying what he calls “two heads of the same beast”: inflammation and glycation — two interlocking processes that may help explain why so many chronic diseases are connected, even when they are treated as separate conditions.Dr. Reynolds is a professor and research scientist at Brigham Young University whose NIH-funded research program studies inflammation, lung biology, glycation, and the AGE/RAGE receptor system that links metabolic and environmental stressors to disease throughout the body.In this episode, Dr. Reynolds traces the glycation cascade from early sugar-protein reactions to advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs, and explains how the RAGE receptor can act as a self-perpetuating accelerant for inflammation. He also breaks down why the brain may be uniquely vulnerable to glucose dysregulation, how diesel exhaust and tobacco smoke can create AGE-like structures that bind the same inflammatory receptors, and how the glyoxalase defense system helps neutralize damage before it becomes permanent.Questions Answered in This Episode:Can breathing polluted air trigger some of the same inflammatory pathways as excess sugar exposure?Is browned food a real glycation concern, or is the bigger issue what happens inside the body when glucose stays elevated?Why is the brain especially vulnerable to glucose dysregulation?How does fasting help the body reduce glycation and inflammatory burden?What do people need to understand about sugar substitutes like allulose and xylitol when it comes to glycation?How should we approach kids' nutrition if glycation and inflammation can begin early in life?Is glycation damage reversible, and where does the body draw the line?This conversation offers a mechanistic map connecting cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction, environmental exposures, and visible aging back to two upstream processes many patients never hear named in a clinical visit.Find the Meet Consumption and Cognitive Health paper here.Sign up for his upcoming Q&A on The Metabolic Initiative here.Find Dr. Reynolds online:InstagramFacebookX.comYoutubeLinkedInTikTokSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here.✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor hereIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Long COVID and sports injuries are becoming impossible to ignore—and this episode explores why more athletes may be dealing with fatigue, soft tissue breakdown, and prolonged recovery after viral illness. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Muhammad Mansour, a naturopathic doctor and regenerative medicine specialist who treats elite athletes at the highest levels.In this episode, you'll learn how long COVID may affect skeletal muscle, mitochondrial function, exercise tolerance, and systemic inflammation—and why these issues can persist even after the initial infection appears to resolve. Dr. Mansour explains how athletes can miss early warning signs, why “pushing through” fatigue may backfire, and how a more individualized recovery strategy may be critical in the post-pandemic era.If you're an athlete, coach, practitioner, or health-conscious listener trying to understand the intersection of long COVID, inflammation, and injury risk, this episode offers a science-informed perspective on what recovery may require now.

The National Institutes of Health is leaning into artificial intelligence to gather insights from a vast amount of health data. And the hope is that shift will let the agency conduct research more quickly and offer new tools to support clinicians. Susan Gregurick is associate director for data science at NIH. She talked with Federal News Network's Jory Heckman about how AI is helping to unlock insights across disconnected systems.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You do the work. You train, you sleep, you eat well, you manage stress. And yet your joints still ache, recovery takes longer, and something just feels harder than it used to.I sit down with David Watumull, co-founder and CEO of AX3, to talk about astaxanthin, a naturally occurring antioxidant he has spent his entire career studying, one that most people have never heard of despite having more than 4,000 peer-reviewed papers and 100 human clinical trials behind it.This is not a conversation about the latest wellness trend. It's a deep look at the science of oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and what actually happens inside your cells when the damage accumulates faster than your body can repair it.What we explore:- Why astaxanthin is categorically different from vitamins C and E, and how it works at every layer of the cell without ever becoming pro-oxidant.- How chronic inflammation starts with oxidative stress upstream, and why blocking it at the source is safer than suppressing the immune response after the fact.- Why this ingredient was one of only five agents in a 20-year NIH-funded program to extend mammalian lifespan by over 10 percent while also showing health span benefits.- How astaxanthin protects joints, muscles, and mitochondrial energy production, and what the data on competitive cyclists actually demonstrates.- What to look for in a supplement, why bioavailability determines whether you absorb anything at all, and how to build astaxanthin into a foundational daily stack.Chapters: 00:00 Intro03:30 Why Astaxanthin Isn't Like Other Antioxidants07:14 The Algae Origins of Astaxanthin11:22 Salmon, the Food Chain, and Nature's Design15:00 From Pharma Research to Supplement18:21 The NIH Longevity Study Explained23:15 mTOR, FOXO3, and the Aging Pathways29:10 Safe Anti-Inflammatory for Joints and Athletes35:15 Brain Protection and the Blood-Brain Barrier38:02 Skin Health and Sun Damage from the Inside45:00 Redox Balance and Liver Protection48:35 Mitochondria, Energy, and Endurance Performance53:00 How to Stack Astaxanthin with Other Supplements57:10 Dosing, Bioavailability, and What Sets AX3 Apart01:07:00 Why David Watumull Went All-In on One IngredientAbout David Watumull:David Watumull is the co-founder and CEO of AX3, a supplement company built on more than two decades of astaxanthin research. He was introduced to the ingredient as a teenager working on algae ponds on the Big Island of Hawaii, and has spent his career advancing its science through pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing, NIH-funded longevity studies, and peer-reviewed cardiovascular research.

Equip Foods Protein (grass-fed beef isolate, no seed oils, third-party tested) Code: BENAZADI - https://bit.ly/49xXaMq  Keto Flex Revised by Ben Azadi (pre-order now, releases July 21st, includes exclusive bonus chapters as a downloadable PDF): https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM    In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days. The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline. The five foods to remove: Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water. Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days. Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day. Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods. Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.

The real reason has almost nothing to do with how hard you're brushing. In this episode, Ben breaks down why plaque keeps returning and the simple nighttime protocol that changes your mouth's environment so tartar stops forming in the first place. What you'll learn: The NIH reports the average adult hosts 50 to 100 billion bacterial cells in their mouth at any given time. When biofilm isn't disrupted fast enough, minerals in your saliva harden and cement it onto your enamel. Full mineralization happens in as little as 48 to 72 hours. The 5 daily mistakes making tartar worse: frequent snacking and hidden sugars, chronic dry mouth, harsh toothpaste and mouthwash that destroys nitric oxide-producing bacteria, ignoring biofilm in the zones your toothbrush can't reach, and a chronically acidic mouth from coffee, sparkling water, wine, and citrus. The 5-step nighttime fix: floss before brushing, switch to a microbiome-supportive toothpaste, skip rinsing with water after brushing, keep water on your nightstand and consider mouth taping, and support nitric oxide production before bed with greens, beet juice, or a nitric oxide lozenge. Bonus: tongue scraping morning and night supports nitric oxide production and keeps bacteria in check.

There is a particular kind of authority that comes only from having been inside something for fifty years — from having seen it at its best, trained its practitioners, published its science, and then watched it hollow itself out from within.Dr. Peter Kowey has that authority. He holds the William Wickoff Smith Chair in Cardiovascular Research at the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, is a professor of medicine and clinical pharmacology at Thomas Jefferson University, and spent years as chief of cardiovascular diseases at the Lankenau Heart Institute. He has published more than 450 scientific papers, trained hundreds of cardiology fellows, and served on FDA advisory panels. He has also, in the past several years, become someone who cannot stay quiet.His new book, Failure to Treat: How a Broken Healthcare System Puts Patients and Providers at Risk, is built from twenty short stories — each a fusion of real composite cases, each naming a different fracture in American medicine. Fragmented care with no coordinating physician. An electronic medical record redesigned to serve billing rather than patients. Defensive medicine that orders unnecessary tests because the malpractice system makes not ordering them dangerous. Private equity that purchases hospitals to strip and sell them. Primary care physicians asked to address four chronic conditions, review a medication list, conduct an exam, and dictate a note — in ten minutes.The book was born from a charge. Kowey's mentor was Dr. Bernard Lown: Nobel Peace Prize laureate, inventor of the defibrillator, one of the most morally serious physicians of the twentieth century. When Lown himself became a patient near the end of his long life, he encountered fragmented care, indifferent nurses, and cavalier doctors. He lived to 99, but not easily. In the years before his death, he told Kowey: "I'm really relying on you to try to do something about this."In this conversation, Kowey does not soften the diagnosis. The current administration, he says, has taken a broken system and made it exponentially worse: NIH funding running at half last year's levels, the CDC's expert panels cleared of independent scientists, vaccine skepticism in positions of authority, and cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and veterans' healthcare that will take years to repair even if reversed tomorrow. He is blunt about what the fix requires: universal coverage, a salaried physician model, restored professional status for nurses, and loan relief tied to primary care service.He also holds out something harder to sustain than outrage: genuine hope. The people who go into medicine still go into it to help. That instinct, he believes, will outlast the systems that are trying to exploit it.The book is available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.Website:peterkoweyauthor.comIn this episode:Why fragmentation of care is the single most dangerous feature of modern American medicineHow the electronic medical record became an instrument of billing rather than careDefensive medicine, malpractice reform, and the billions they costPrivate equity in healthcare and the creation of hospital desertsThe ten-minute primary care visit and why physicians are leaving the fieldDirect-to-consumer drug advertising: the United States and New Zealand against the worldNIH, CDC, vaccines, and the public health erosion under the current administrationThe case for universal healthcare — and what getting there actually requires

Ever have something clearly wrong, and yet no expert can tell you what's causing it? Or, worse, they DO tell you, but they're wrong?Nearly everyone will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime. Not a minor mix-up, but a missed, delayed, or wrong diagnosis that shapes how long you suffer, what treatment you receive, and whether anyone believes something is actually wrong with you. For people in midlife, when the body starts sending new signals and the stakes of getting it right feel higher, that statistic carries a particular weight.Alexandra Sifferlin is a science and health journalist and the author of The Elusive Body: Patients, Doctors, and the Diagnosis Crisis. She spent years inside hospital systems, talking with leading diagnosticians, tracing families who waited decades for answers, and mapping the structural gaps that let real suffering fall through.

Hey Friends~  Most of us don't remember what it felt like to learn language for the very first time as young children. We focus so much on letters, books, and what children see—but are we overtraining eyes while undertraining ears? After experiencing a brain injury that forced her to relearn language from the beginning, today's guest, Emily Cadiz, gained a life-changing understanding of what it truly feels like to struggle with communication and learning. As a music professional already working in special education, she turned to music during her recovery to help regain movement, speech, language, and reading — ultimately leading her into NIH research exploring music's impact on children's language and literacy development. In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between music, the brain, communication, and learning. You'll hear why music is such a natural pathway for language development and discover simple ways parents can use rhythm, movement, chanting, and song in everyday life to support children's speech, language, and early literacy skills. Always cheering you on!  Dinalynn CONTACT the Host, Dinalynn:  hello@thelanguageofplay.com WEBSITE:  https://www.thelanguageofplay.com/ Have a QUESTION or COMMENT?

In this episode, we discuss… ● How the brain controls reproductive hormones and communicates with the endocrine system.  ● How endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with brain-hormone communication. ● What EDCs are and how they disrupt normal hormonal signaling. The endocrine system explained through a simple "lock-and-key" hormone model. ● How EDCs can mimic or block natural hormones in the body. ● How EDCs disrupt hormone production, regulation, and overall balance in the body. ● The rise of synthetic chemicals after World War II and links to increasing endocrine and neurological disorders. ● The accidental discovery that BPA leaching from plastic caused reproductive harm in laboratory mice. ● Why endocrine disruption challenged the traditional idea that "the dose makes the poison." ● How chemicals like BPA can affect multiple hormone receptors at very low doses.....and so much more! Dr. Andrea Gore is Professor and Vacek Chair in Pharmacology at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research team is investigating fundamental mechanisms of how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) perturb the developing brain; sex differences in EDC actions; and transgenerational epigenetic effects. Dr. Gore's research has been funded continuously by the NIH, NSF, and foundations since 1992. She has published 4 books and over 200 scientific papers. She was Editor-in-Chief of Endocrinology from 2013-2017 and was lead author of the Endocrine Society's two Scientific Statements on EDCs, and the Endocrine Society-IPEN Guides to EDCs, most recently in 2024. Dr. Gore is very active in advocacy for, mentorship of, and education of trainees. Over 150 undergraduates, graduate students, and fellows have conducted independent research in her laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Gore feels fortunate to have multiple passions beyond her research in environmental health: playing violin in an orchestra and string quartet; running a turtle and tortoise sanctuary; and her rescue dogs.

In early May 2026, transport vans rolled out of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, carrying beagles toward new lives—grass under their paws, sunlight on their faces, and homes instead of stacked wire cages. Nearly 1,500 beagles were purchased by rescue organizations like Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Beagle Freedom Project after years of documented suffering at one of the nation's largest commercial beagle breeders for biomedical research. This outcome marks a rare, tangible win for animal advocates. But it came only after daring direct-action raids, mass protests met with tear gas and rubber bullets, a special prosecutor's investigation, and persistent legal pressure. Even now, roughly 500 dogs may remain behind as Ridglan winds down its commercial breeding operations by July 1, 2026. The Ridglan story is not just about one facility. It exposes deep, systemic failures in U.S. law that leave millions of animals in laboratories with minimal protections—and even those “covered” by federal rules often receive little meaningful relief. The Raids That Forced Change On March 15, 2026, activists from groups linked to the Coalition to Save the Ridglan Dogs breached fences and buildings at Ridglan Farms. They removed around 22–30 beagles. Some were successfully rehomed; others were recovered by police. However, an estimated 2000 beagles remained in captivity, potentially subject to additional horrific experimentation. Our guest, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, was one of these activists. A second, larger action on April 18 drew roughly 1,000 protesters to rescue the remaining beagles. Law enforcement responded with tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. No additional dogs could be rescued that day. Dozens of protesters were arrested, including our guest on The Breggin Hour, Dean Guzman Wyrzykowski, a San Francisco Bay Area-based animal rights activist and political organizer. He is co-founder of The Simple Heart Initiative—a nonprofit dedicated to advancing species equality through open rescue, impact litigation, undercover investigations, and activist training. With over eight years in nonprofit advocacy, Dean has recruited and trained hundreds of activists and is one of the lead organizers of the Ridglan campaign. He now faces serious felony burglary charges—potentially up to 12 years in prison—along with several co-defendants for the first March 15, 2026, rescue effort. Further charges may be pending. As a top priority, we urge that the charges be reduced or dropped to reflect the vastly important ethical basis of the actions of these animal advocates. How to Help Dean Dean reports that the best way to assist him with legal costs is to become a paid subscriber to his Substack at Urbananimal.substack.com. To support ending the breeding of dogs for lab testing, go to Save the Dogs, make a donation, and join over 111,581 others who have already signed the petition to end breeding of dogs for laboratory use. These weren't the first efforts to expose and stop the abuses of these dogs. Ridglan had faced scrutiny for years, including earlier investigations. The raids amplified public outrage and accelerated negotiations between rescuers and Ridglan Farms. In late April, rescue groups announced they had reached a deal to acquire ~1,500 dogs. Transports began in early May, with many “frosted face” seniors (older dogs with graying muzzles) now adjusting to life outside the facility—initially flinching at touch but quickly learning to wag tails and play. Decades of Alleged Cruelty at Ridglan — and Why It Is Winding Down Ridglan Farms operated for decades as a major supplier of beagles for testing. Former employees and state inspections described windowless warehouses, stacked cages over waste pits, high ammonia levels, rusted wires causing injuries, and routine surgeries (including eye procedures and devocalizations) performed without anesthesia or proper pain relief—sometimes by non-veterinarians. In 2025, Wisconsin's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) cited Ridglan for hundreds of violations. A judge found probable cause for animal cruelty. Special Prosecutor Tim Gruenke was appointed to investigate. Rather than face criminal charges, Ridglan chose to wind down. In a negotiated settlement in late 2025, the company agreed to surrender its Wisconsin commercial dog-breeding license by July 1, 2026. This effectively ends its large-scale commercial breeding and sales of beagles to external laboratories. In exchange, the state dropped the threat of felony animal cruelty prosecutions. This agreement was driven by years of accumulated citations, whistleblower testimony, undercover investigations, and intense public and activist pressure. While Ridglan can still conduct limited on-site research under its federal USDA licenses, its days as a major commercial beagle supplier are over. Parallels with Envigo and Other Scandals Ridglan is far from isolated. In 2022, a major scandal erupted at Envigo's breeding facility in Cumberland, Virginia. PETA's undercover investigation revealed severe neglect: inadequate food, veterinary care, housing, and staffing; dead puppies were left among litters; and unqualified staff performed invasive procedures. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened, leading to the rescue of over 4,000 beagles—the largest such seizure in U.S. history. Envigo (and its parent company Inotiv) later pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Animal Welfare Act and the Clean Water Act, agreeing to pay a record $35 million+ in fines and shutting down the breeding operation. From the Beagles to the Breggins, Senator Bill Stanley Sought Justice for the Underdog At a state level, key Virginia state legislators were involved in advocating for stronger animal welfare regulations in response to documented Animal Welfare Act violations, poor conditions, and high puppy mortality in the facility. Sen. Bill Stanley (R-Franklin County) was a leading champion at the state level. He visited the facility multiple times, co-sponsored several “Beagle Bills” in 2022 (e.g., SB 87, SB 88, SB 90, SB 604) to increase oversight, close loopholes for research animals, require adoption offers before euthanasia, and penalize repeat violators. He adopted two Envigo beagles (Daisy and Dixie) and worked on adoptions/rescues. We are especially happy to acknowledge Sen. Stanley's contributions because, among several attorneys we contacted to defend us against Robert Malone's lawfare defamation suit against us for $25 million, Bill was the first attorney willing to seriously pursue our case, which ended in the presiding judge throwing Malone's case out of court. From the beagles to the Breggins, Senator Stanley has sought justice for the underdog. The Sand Fly Experiments and High-Profile Scandals Public outrage over government-funded beagle suffering peaked in the early 2020s with revelations about NIH-funded experiments under Dr. Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). One widely criticized study involved beagle puppies in Tunisia exposed to sand flies carrying parasites (to study leishmaniasis). Reports described dogs having their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies, being used as live bait in desert cages overnight, and in some cases undergoing cordectomies (vocal cord removal) to silence barking. The experiments sparked bipartisan congressional criticism and intense media coverage. The Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and partners filed habeas corpus petitions seeking court recognition of the Ridglan dogs' right to freedom from cruelty and immediate remedies. While initial petitions faced dismissal, appeals continue for the remaining animals. Why U.S. Law Fails Experimental Animals The core federal statute is the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) of 1966 (and its amendments), enforced by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). It sets minimum standards for housing, feeding, veterinary care, and handling of certain animals. Critical Limitations Include: Massive Species Exclusions: Rats, mice, and birds bred for research—accounting for roughly 95% of lab animals—are explicitly excluded. Cold-blooded animals and others also fall outside coverage. Weak Standards for Covered Species: Even for dogs, cats, primates, etc., the AWA permits painful procedures if deemed “scientifically necessary.” There is no outright ban on specific types of experiments. Self-Regulation via IACUCs: Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees—dominated by researchers at the institutions they oversee—review protocols. Approval rates hover near 98%, with limited external oversight. Enforcement Gaps: Under-resourced inspections, reliance on self-reporting, and modest penalties limit impact. Ridglan itself had passed many USDA inspections despite state-level findings of serious issues. Property Status: Animals remain legal property. Novel habeas efforts like the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) challenge this but face significant judicial hurdles, as courts have historically rejected animal “personhood” claims. For those of us who learned in childhood about unconditional love from our dogs, they are not only of equal value to people, but they seem on a higher spiritual level in the love they have given to us. Other frameworks, such as the Public Health Service Policy, apply only to federally funded research and offer even less robust enforcement. The 2022 FDA Modernization Act opened doors to non-animal alternatives, but broader statutory mandates for the “3Rs” (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) remain limited. Reform efforts often stall due to powerful research lobbies, congressional agriculture committees' oversight, and public support for medical research that can overshadow welfare concerns. Broader Context and the Path Forward Ridglan and Envigo show that systemic problems persist despite occasional rescues and fines. Millions of animals continue to be used annually in U.S. labs, yet positive developments exist: growing adoption of alternatives (organ-on-chip, AI modeling, human cell cultures), increased rehoming programs, and shifting public opinion favoring stronger protections. The Ridglan victory shows that sustained pressure—investigations, lawsuits, public protest, and direct rescue—can force change where law falls short. Yet relying on activists risking felony charges is not sustainable. Meaningful reform requires: Expanding Animal Welfare Act coverage to all vertebrates. Stronger, independent oversight and enforcement with real penalties. Mandatory consideration and funding for non-animal methods. Judicial tools (like effective habeas relief) to address cruelty in licensed facilities promptly. A Call to Readers The beagles now tasting freedom represent hope—but hundreds may still face uncertainty, and systemic issues persist for countless others. Share their stories. Support reputable rescues and organizations like The Simple Heart Initiative, the Nonhuman Rights Project, Beagle Freedom Project, and others working on legal and legislative fronts. Contact your representatives and demand real modernization of the Animal Welfare Act. Persistence works. Now we must translate outrage into lasting legal change—so no more facilities like this exist in the first place. What are your thoughts on balancing research needs with animal welfare?

This is the warning nobody in Washington wants you to hear. Dr. Jeremy Levin — PhD, MD, and author of Biotech and the Balance — joins Marc Cox with a dire prediction: if America doesn't reverse course now, the majority of our new medicines could be coming from foreign countries by 2035. The biotech industry that started with one company in 1973 and grew to over 2,000 is quietly crumbling — and the reasons will shock you. NIH research is sputtering, top scientific minds are being sent home, and the FDA lost 90% of its most experienced managers in a matter of months. Dr. Levin pulls no punches on what happens when the agency responsible for inspecting drug plants abroad stops functioning — and Marc Cox asks the question every American parent should be asking right now. This is your family's health, your children's medicine, and your national security all wrapped into one conversation you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

Bill interviews former Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander about his memoir, The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump, and the Senate's decline from bipartisan, amendment-driven lawmaking to today's gridlock. Alexander criticizes Republican senators for failing to check abuses of presidential authority, argues Trump's purges of GOP incumbents risk costing him a Senate majority, and calls a DOJ compensation fund for January 6 participants “Trump suing Trump” and an outrage, given assaults on Capitol Police. He contrasts Senate pushback in Trump's first term with silence in the second, including cuts affecting USAID/PEPFAR and NIH research. Alexander says January 6 undermined the Constitution, praises public service as the best way to help people, prefers being governor to senator, and expresses confidence in America's resilience.You can buy his book from Bookshop.org here.

We've been talking a lot about healthspan and longevity in our recent episodes, but how do we get there? What changes would it take in the way we practice medicine to move towards a system that helps maintain wellness instead of a system that diagnoses and manages disease? This is the fundamental challenge that our guest today and her company, Radence, are tackling. Dr. Julie Chen is the Chief Medical Officer at Radence. An integrative internal medicine physician, she and her colleagues at Radence are working to develop a data-backed model of healthcare that identifies the precursors to problems, allowing for proactive intervention and, in many cases, prevention.  As Dr. Chen says, it will take awhile to amass the data needed to show that spending these resources when a person is well ultimately results in greater health, lower spend, and better longevity, but we have to start somewhere. Dr. Chen is not just a practicing physician, but an accomplished researcher as well. Her research, at the FDA, NIH, National Cancer Institute, USC, and Mount Sinai, has shaped scientific advancement in precision medicine. As a fellowship-trained integrative internal medicine physician, she developed numerous corporate wellness programs in Silicon Valley focusing on whole-systems approach to healthcare and previously served as Chief Medical Officer at companies such as Human Longevity and Vitagene.

Today on Stinchfield, the media is pushing fear over Ebola, but what’s the real story? Ebola is one of the deadliest viruses on earth, yet experts admit it is extremely difficult to spread. So why the sudden panic? Is this another pandemic-style fear campaign designed to funnel billions into vaccines, research grants, and government contracts? Or is there something even darker happening behind the scenes? Montana Senator Tim Sheehy is now demanding answers after alarming allegations surfaced that Ebola virus material may have been smuggled into an NIH lab in Hamilton, Montana. If true, who approved it, why was it brought here, and what are they really experimenting with? Joining us is Nicholas Hulscher from The Wellness Company to separate fact from fear, expose the real risks of Ebola, and explain whether Americans are once again being manipulated through panic and propaganda.
