CTX is a rare metabolic disease that can cause seizures, developmental delays, and intellectual disability. Now, a diagnostic test that can detect the condition early is available, and a treatment that can prevent the disease's serious effects has won regulatory approval. We spoke to Bart Duell, professor of medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University, about CTX, the role OHSU played in developing a diagnostic and advancing a treatment for CTX; and the critical interplay between academic medical centers, patient advocates, and drug developers to address the needs of people with rare diseases.

Using a Functional Medicine Approach to Testing we discover the hidden dangers of mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals, and learn how these toxins can contribute to serious health issues such as cancer, hormonal imbalances, and neurological disorders. Dr. Jason Barker shares his expert insights on identifying and mitigating these toxic burdens to enhance overall wellness. Prolonged exposure to environmental toxins can have much more severe, lasting effects on health. Over time, the accumulation of toxins can lead to health concerns. ✅ Cancer: Many environmental toxins, such as carcinogens, trigger mutations at the cellular level, increasing the risk of developing various types of cancer. ✅ Hormonal imbalances: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can mess with hormone production and regulation, leading to issues like infertility, thyroid dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances. ✅ Autoimmune diseases: Accumulated toxins can overwhelm the immune system, leading it to malfunction and attack the body's own tissues – contributing to autoimmune conditions. ✅ Neurological damage: Long-term exposure to neurotoxic chemicals can result in cognitive decline, memory loss, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. The Vibrant Total Tox Burden Test evaluates three main categories of toxins: ✅ Mycotoxins: Mold toxicity is much much more common than you might think – with hidden mold spores lurking in many homes and workplaces. This test measures 29 different mycotoxins –  providing a thorough assessment of any mold-related toxins that may be hiding out in your body. ✅ Heavy Metals: Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic (to name just a few) are notorious for accumulating over time and contributing to a whole range of health issues. The test measures 20 different heavy metals, helping to identify any buildup of these toxic substances. ✅ Environmental Chemicals: These are synthetic or man-made chemicals, such as pesticides and forever chemicals, that are rampant in everyday products, in the food and water we consume, and even in the air we breathe. The test assesses 38 different environmental chemicals that may be impacting your health, providing a broad view of your exposure to modern-day toxins.

Wouldn't it be nice to finally have that magic pill in the weight loss world? We can't say we have discovered it in Omega-3's yet, but the overall health benefits that it possesses are so vast that there is a huge argument to get it in your supplementation routine.  And as our philosophy holds strong that weight loss is a byproduct of health, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to a healthy weight especially since Omega-3's reduce inflammation and improves insulin sensitivity.  To break down the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, we invited Dr. WIlliam Harris to the show. Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism at the Oregon Health Sciences University.

Health equity is an important concept, but it's talked about sparing amongst fitness professionals. Our guest in episode 77, Dr. Daphne Bascom, feels strongly it's time for that to change. As she points out (rightfully so), fitness professionals are well-positioned in their communities to facilitate health equity through a variety of different methods. It's precisely those methods we'll discuss in this episode of the Wellness Paradox Podcast. Dr. Bascom's passion for this subject is contagious, and her recommendations are not only inspiring and thoughtful, but highly actionable as well. If fitness professionals are to integrate into the healthcare delivery system, we must not only be strong proponents of health equity, but we must be actively involved in improving it. Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/77 Our Guest: Dr. Daphne BascomDaphne Bascom, MD, PhD, is a health coach with The Vegan Gym. Dr. Bascom currently works part time for the MITRE Corporation in McLean Virginia as a healthcare consultant.

Lisa is joined by Liz Weiss who shares some great ways to get more fiber in. your diet. From www.lizshealthytable.comI'm a registered dietitian nutritionist, and I've been passionate about healthy food, family nutrition, and vibrant living for over 30 years. Helping you, your family, and the people around you discover the joy of wholesome and delicious food is not just my job—it's my mission.I have two grown boys—Josh and Simon—and for years, I was up to my elbows tackling the daily grind of packing lunches, making endless visits to the grocery store, planning meals, and managing fussy eating. But I'm reporting here that the journey was fun and fulfilling, and my boys grew up to be adventurous eaters. Five family cookbooks later plus free recipes, online resources, and hundreds of podcast episodes, my boys have flown the coop and I've shifted my culinary and nutrition focus to a topic that's near and dear to my heart and something we all need: longevity!Living an anti-aging lifestyle is all about moving our bodies more and choosing foods that fight conditions like heart disease and cancer, bolster brain health, and sharpen vision. To that end, I always try to practice what I preach. I walk (almost) every day, do yoga, and ride the stationary bike. I have a real food philosophy, which is all about adding food groups to the diet, not taking them away. No deprivation. I crave simplicity, colorful fruits and vegetables, and easy-to-find everyday ingredients that make mealtime a breeze.A bit about my background: After four years as an undergrad at the University of Rhode Island and a dietetic internship at the Oregon Health Sciences University, in 2004 I partnered with a friend to create Meal Makeover Moms, which received an incredible response from families and fellow health professionals and even won the 2015 Media Excellence Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics! We retired that site in 2017, and that's when Liz's Healthy Table was launched.Liz's Healthy Table hosts a blog with exciting plant-forward recipes (yes, some include a small amount of animal protein!), including Cauliflower Mac & Cheese, Corny Salmon Cakes, Kale & Pine Nut Pesto, and Beef & Bean Tacos. And I have a new podcast called, EAT DRINK, LIVE LONGER, which features exciting longevity-themed food and nutrition episodes on the benefits of eating more pulses, pre-diabetes, and the anti-inflammatory diet.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Bill Harris to dive into the topic of Omega 3 fatty acids and their importance to our health. We discussed what fatty acids are, whether Americans are getting enough, and whether you should supplement with Omega-3s. Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He co-invented the Omega-3 Index in 2004 and made it commercially available to the research community and the public in 2009 when he founded the company OmegaQuant. To date, the Omega-3 Index has been used as the standard measure of omega-3 status in more than 200 clinical studies.   The Cliff Notes What are fatty acids and what are their importance Differences between Omega-3 (EPA, DHA, ALA) vs. Omega-6s Omega-3s in the American diet and are we getting enough? Evaluating Omega 3 Supplements and what to look for Ideal EPA to DHA ratios and why this is important OmegaQuant and Invention of the Omega-3 Index Test   About Dr. Harris Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University. His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health.   He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.   Dr. Harris co-invented the Omega-3 Index in 2004 and made it commercially available to the research community and the public in 2009. To date, the Omega-3 Index has been used as the standard measure of omega-3 status in more than 200 clinical studies. Dr. Harris is also a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota.   Dr. Harris moved on as OmegaQuant's President in late 2020 to establish the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI), where he will go back to his roots of conducting research on fatty acids and health.   LEARN MORE ABOUT OMEGAQUANT: Email: info@omegaquant.com OmegaQuant.com/shop Fatty Acid Research Institute: https://www.faresinst.org/ OmegaQuant YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/OmegaQuantLab OmegaQuant Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmegaQuant OmegaQuant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omega3index/ OmegaQuant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Omega3Index OmegaQuant LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omegaquant-analytics   TO CONNECT WITH ME  On Instagram: www.instagram.com/andresayesta On TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/tLLoyS/ On Youtube www.youtube.com/c/andresayesta Podcast IG page: www.instagram.com/planos_nutrition On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/planosnutrition Our Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1934943366627043/?ref=bookmarks   FREE RESOURCES To download my Macro Counting Guide tap here  To download my Macro friendly meal planning guide tap here   TO JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY  Not Another Diet Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/notanotherdietcommunity   FOR NUTRITION COACHING Apply here at https://planosnutrition.com/application

A study from Oregon Health Sciences University revealed that overweight women who had taken up relaxation techniques lost an average of 10 pounds…without trying. The idea is that these women were less stressed - they weren't flooding their body with stress hormones, which are known to increase appetite. So, find a quiet, comfortable place. Then close your eyes and breathe deeply for five minutes each day.

Laxmi Suthar MD is the Program Director Of  UCLA-Olive View Categorical and Preliminary Internal Medicine Residency, and an Associate Professor Of Medicine at David Geffen School Of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Suthar completed her medical school from Oregon Health Sciences University and residency in internal medicine from the University of California -- San Francisco. She also completed a teaching fellowship at UCSF during her training. Dr. Suthar's academic areas of interest include medical education, pre-operative medicine, and women's health. She has been awarded Attending of the Year awards at both UC Irvine and Olive View and the American College of Physicians Southern California Laureate Award in 2018 for her contribution to resident education. Dr. Suthar has been committed to the personal and professional growth of medical students and residents in a wide variety of practice settings. When discussing the traits of the best residents she has trained, Dr. Laxmi Suthar mentions enthusiasm first: embracing the joy of medicine and what brought them into medicine. She says, ‘For me if a mentee has that joy, I can help them through anything else.” But what if they have lost that joy? “Then we have to actually work through that piece first.” Dr. Suthar does that by asking the resident why they applied to medical school in the first place. Once the resident identifies what they wanted to do in medicine, then, Dr. Suthar asks what's stopping them from doing that? And once they know that, they can work on problem-solving and getting rid of the obstacles in order to get them back to that joy of medicine again. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. While trying to achieve balance, realize that you will have to prioritize for a particular day. You can't do it all on the same day. You will need to sacrifice some things. 2. Don't be afraid to ask for what you need, whether in a contract negotiation, or with a mentor. And it's important to have mentors throughout your career, not just as medical students or residents. 3. To help you build better relationships with patients, make notes of their personal details and bring them up at the start of their next visit. Also, tailor their treatment plans to suit their particular situations. This will improve compliance. 4. The three main traits of successful residents are 1, staying connected to their why, 2, flexibility of thought process, and 3, honesty with themselves and their mentor.

Eduard Vasilevskis MD is the Chief of Hospital Medicine and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. Vasilevskis completed his medical school at Oregon Health Sciences University followed by a residency and chief residency at the University of California San Francisco. He then completed a health services research fellowship at the Institute for Health Policy Studies UCSF. Dr. Vasilevskis has been interested in examining delirium as a measure of ICU and hospital quality. Dr. Vasilevskis has been interested in examining delirium as a measure of ICU and hospital quality and has developed a unique prediction model, the acute brain dysfunction prediction model, that predicts delirium for each day in the ICU. His most recent research focuses on polypharmacy and reducing medications in older patients. He's also the clerkship director for the internal medicine program for the Medical School at Vanderbilt. “Follow your passion” is great advice for those who know what their passion is. You follow your passion and create your own opportunities.  But what if you don't know what sets your soul on fire? Today, Dr. Eduard Vasilevskis shares his belief that “passion follows opportunity, not the other way around.” It's more common that an opportunity presents itself. Take advantage of it and then ask yourself, “Is a passion developing? Do I love what I'm doing?” If your answer is yes, you start a positive feedback loop: passion grows, you create more opportunities. If the answer is no, Dr. Vasilevskis says, just look for another opportunity! Pearls of Wisdom: 1. It's not about when you make a decision, but that you make a decision. If an opportunity arises, and it aligns with your passion, forget the time clock and take the opportunity. 2. The second sentence of the history is about the patient's usual state of health: who are they before and apart from this illness? It's a way to develop a relationship with the patient and to have it in writing. 3. Passion follows opportunity. You may not know what you love to do. Take an opportunity and reflect on it. Here is where mentors can help: they might be able to see in you what you can't see in yourself. 4. Be humbly confident. We need to commit and let our mentors know what we're thinking, while at the same time staying humble and open to learning.

In today's podcast, Dr. Noelle LoConte discusses the relationship between alcohol and cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, alcohol use is one of the most preventable risk factors for cancer. They further state that alcohol use accounts for about 6% of all cancers and 4% of all cancer deaths.  For many cancers, the more alcohol you drink, the higher your cancer risk. But for some types of cancers, in particular breast cancer, consuming even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk. Furthermore, BreastCancer.org warns women that as little as three alcoholic drinks per week give you a 15% higher risk of breast cancer compared to non-drinkers. Most people don't realize that tipping back a beer, wine, or a cocktail could increase their cancer risk. Noelle LoConte, M.D., specializes in the relationship between alcohol and cancer. She is the first author on the American Society of Clinical Oncology policy statement on alcohol and cancer and has served on the ASCO prevention Committee. Dr. LoConte is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, Wisconsin. She completed medical school at the University of Illinois at Chicago, did her internal medicine  internship at UW, and completed her internal medicine residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon.  Her clinical interests are in medical oncology, and she maintains a practice in gastrointestinal cancers.  Her research and outreach interests are in cancer control across the cancer continuum, and she is the principal investigator (PI) for the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Program.  Through this work, she chairs the action plan on alcohol for Wisconsin.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/fishoilpodcast After publishing my recent giant fish oil article , I've been getting plenty of questions about fish oil lately, including: -Based on human clinical research, what are the actual proven benefits of fish oil? -What kind of dosages/types of fish oil were used in studies? -Are there concerns about rancidity/oxidation when taking fish oil? -What kind of amount and EPA/DHA ratio is ideal? -Are there people who shouldn't take fish oil? -Are there certain nutrients or supplements that should be taken with fish oil? -How can one test their omega fatty acid status? And much more. So I finally decided to get a couple of true, unbiased fish oil experts on my show. is my first guest. He is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University. His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health. He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “, and “ both published in the journal Circulation. Dr. Harris is a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant. Dr. Harris's daughter, , PhD, RD is my second guest. Kristina received her PhD in Nutritional Sciences from Pennsylvania State University in 2013 and completed her training to become a Registered Dietitian in 2014. As a graduate student, she studied under Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, an internationally-recognized expert in fats and nutrition. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado-Denver under Dr. John Peters in the area of worksite wellness before returning to the omega-3 field. Kristina joined the family business Analytics as a Research Associate in 2014, with a particular focus on omega-3s in maternal health, helping create the Prenatal DHA test and the Mother’s Milk DHA test. In 2020, she became Assistant Professor (non-tenure) in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine. (2020-2022). She lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with her husband, two kids, one old dog, and four grandparents. During this discussion, you'll discover: -The 2 sources of Omega-3 fatty acids...8:35 Plant derived fatty acid ALA, alpha linolenic acid( 18 carbons); an acid in the omega-3 family – not the same thing as the fish derived omega-3 Fish derived EPA (20 carbons) and DHA (22 carbons) Cannot get much of the good stuff from ALA (seeds and nuts) Algal oil from micro algae (single cell organism, not kelp) that make EPA/DHA naturally; at the base of the marine food chain Omega-3 fatty acids are made by plants, not fish Some companies grow these algae in big ponds, harvest the omega-3 fatty acids and put in capsules Vegan derived EPA/DHA products has exactly the same molecules as EPA/DHA derived from fish, but does not come from fish, it comes from algae Process is expensive Aquaculture industry is driving the demand for algal oil 70~80% of fish oil produced is fed back to the fish Other sources of fish oil are genetically modified land plants Canela seed oil; Australia is at the forefront to put genes into oil producing land plants, like soy beans -What makes essential fatty acids so essential...15:45 Cell membranes, made up of fatty acids, surround every cell in the body For structural aspect of the cell Provides starting products for different signaling pathways, affects how cells communicate internally and externally Membrane fluidity; more carbon and double bonds makes cell membranes more flexible and fluid Cell membranes are comprised of dietary fats The body can’t make the essential omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic) and omega-3 fatty acids(ALA and EPA/DHA); these comes from the diet Trans-fats are also dietary fats Other fats, like saturated fats and monounsaturated fats, are affected by metabolism -Omega-3 fatty acids being oxidized once it enters the body is a misconception...19:36 Oxidation has different meanings to a biochemist and a food scientist: Oxygen molecules are added to the fatty acids by enzymes in order to be activated Lipid peroxidation destroys, produces unwanted by-products; does not happen inside the body because of the different anti-oxidants that protect against this type of oxidation Article: The body has ways of cleaning up things it doesn’t want -Ratio of omega fatty-acids in the body and what the ratios should be...25:32 Good ratio of EPA to DHA is when eaten in fish EPA taken alone increases EPA and decreases DHA a little bit; increased omega-3 index - the measure of EPA/DHA in red blood cells (RBC) Pure DHA taken alone increases both EPA and DHA in RBC DHA is the predominant omega-3 fatty acid in membranes 85% DHA to 15% EPA in RBC In fish oil, total dose (EPA+DHA) is the important thing A study found the ideal optimum fatty acid levels (EPA+DHA) to be 8~12% index Ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 -Ethyl Ester and Triglyceride forms of Omega-3 fatty acids...33:20 Different ways Omega-3 fatty acids are processed and concentrated Ethyl ester is the first highly concentrated form; first to be concentrated into a capsule Triglycerides form is the more natural form (how it would be present in the fish) Most fish oil supplements in the U.S., if it does not say it is in triglyceride form, is an ethyl ester No standardized way to know if it is triglycerides or ethyl ester Biggest difference as far as bioavailability goes is if supplements are taken with meals Ethyl esters, if taken without a meal might not be absorbed at all; absorbed well if taken with a meal, preferably a meal that contains fats Triglycerides are not affected by that meal component as ethyl esters All pharmaceutical brands of fish oil are ethyl esters More EPA and DHA molecules in a 1 gram capsule if in ethyl ester form Distinction only came up around 15 years ago when ethyl ester form of fatty acids was seen as not well absorbed by the body when taken on an empty stomach Taking ethyl ester form supplements without food might not get the desired omega-3 index result -What genes convert ALA or plant-based oil into EPA/DHA...45:15 Genetic conditions that affect omega-3 fatty acid levels FADS genes produce the enzymes that convert ALA to EPA and DHA Enzymes also convert linoleic acid to arachidonic acid (polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid) Natural variations by populations in the kinds of mutations that are present in the FADS genes can affect levels, particularly of arachidonic acid Omega-3 EPA/DHA are not much affected by the FADS genes Major genetic effect driving omega-3 levels in the population is not known Is there a genetic effect on the absorption of omega-3 in the population? No study on why a certain population has a huge absorption response while in another population, there is hardly any response Nomenclature: Omega-3 ­– a fatty acid where the 1ˢᵗ double bond counting from the omega carbon is in the third position Omega-6 – a fatty acid where the 1ˢᵗ double bond counting from the omega carbon is in the sixth position Cannot be inter-converted Plants can convert omega-6’s into omega-3’s, animals cannot -Ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids...52:17 “Ratio of omega-6 to omega-3” is imprecise – it’s not clear what type omega-6 or omega-3 is referred to; for example, there are 7 omega-6 fatty acids in the blood It also presumes that ALA and EPA/DHA have the same biologic activity or they have the same value when they do not The same is also true on the omega-6 side To say “total omega-6 to total omega-3 ratio” would also be confusing; it does not say what type fatty acids are there; it does not tell anything about it's effect on health - some fatty acids are beneficial and some are not You can have very high levels of omega-6 and omega-3 in your blood, or you can have very low levels, and yet have the same ratio It also presumes that all omega-6’s are bad and all omega-3’s are good, which is not true Omega-3 fatty acids being good is not questionable What’s questionable is the goodness or badness of omega-6’s; linoleic acid is not made in the body and has to be eaten Studies have shown that high levels of linoleic acid in the blood always predict lower incidence of heart disease and diabetes, and conversely Focus on the omega-3 index is that EPA/DHA are what is missing in our diets; there are plenty of omega-6’s -Link between Omega-6 and inflammation and chronic disease...1:00:18 High consumption of oxidized PUFAs , primarily found in vegetable oils which are high in omega-6 fatty acids Omega-6 fatty acid that gives rise to eicosanoids in the inflammatory pathway is Arachidonic acid, a synthetic product of linoleic acid Eicosanoids is associated with increased incidence of inflammation and chronic diseases like arthritis, cancer, etc. Synthesis of arachidonic acid is very regulated; tissue levels remain the same regardless the amount of linoleic acid consumed, to a point (it eventually runs out if linoleic acid consumption is stopped) Higher levels of linoleic acid in the blood means you are eating more of it, which comes from vegetable oil; the only way to get high levels in your blood is to eat more For heart disease and diabetes, higher levels of linoleic acid is good for the heart and metabolism; less people develop these diseases if they have high levels of linoleic acid The best way to decrease the ratio is to increase your omega-3 side; by increasing EPA/DHA, EPA replaces, to some extent, the arachidonic acid Having more long-chain omega-3 in the membranes lowers omega-6, correcting the proportion -Contaminants in fish oil, cleanliness, sourcing, concerns about packaging, shelf life, heat exposure during the manufacturing process...1:06:13 Article: Adding anti-oxidants makes a lot of sense Nitrogen blanketed environment during encapsulation Fish oil “gone rancid” does not necessarily mean the omega-3 fatty acids are gone, it just smells bad; the bad smell is caused by any of 6 molecules The best way to know the fish oil supplements are working for you is by testing -And much more!

Rates of suicide for physicians are among the highest for any profession. And the strain of the coronavirus pandemic is making already strenuous working conditions nearly impossible to bear for some and impossible for others. We talk with two Oregon doctors involved in responding to the mental health crisis in medicine and ask what is being done to prevent it. Pamela Wible practices medicine in Eugene and is the author of “Human Rights Violations in Medicine: A-to-Z Action Guide.” Don Girard is professor emeritus at Oregon Health Sciences University and chairs the executive committee of the Oregon Wellness Program. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 1-800-273-TALK (8255), or you can text the word “home” to 741-741.

Natalie Dale graduated Alpha-Omega-Alpha from the Chicago Medical School in 2016 and began her residency in Neurology at Oregon Health Sciences University. After struggling with Bipolar II Disorder, she decided to leave medicine and focus on her long-time passion: writing. Since then, she has written three novels and several short stories exploring the deeply personal experience of physical and mental illness. She also freelances, writing research essays, fact-checking, and translating academic articles for the layperson. In her spare time, she organizes an elementary school reading program, runs a local writing critique group, and plays violin in a community orchestra. She married her college sweetheart, dotes on her dog and cat, and lives in Hillsboro, Oregon. 1) Natalie, what is your background? My background is pretty mixed. I started out as a music major (violin performance) in college, before switching to a biochemistry major so that I could go to medical school. I took two years off between college and medical school. During that time, I worked in an infectious disease lab at the University of Washington, then I went to New Zealand on a scholarship from Rotary International. In New Zealand, I took classes in Public Health (earning my DPH, or Diploma in Public Health) and gave talks around Australia and New Zealand comparing healthcare systems. Once back in the US, I attended Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and science and graduated with honors before starting my neurology residency at Oregon Health Sciences University. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder less than three months before graduation. I left OHSU in December 2017 due to my struggle with Bipolar II Disorder, and since then have been focusing on writing 2) Natalie, what projects are you working on? What are your goals for those projects? I like to do a lot of things at once. I find that this gives me the flexibility I need since my disease still isn't fully controlled. I write short stories, nonfiction articles, and novels. But the project that is closest to my heart is my second novel, Pathétique. Before I came up with a title, I called it the “Bipolar Violinist” story. It's about Anna Zantic, a 30-year-old professional violinist who has recently landed her dream job with the Portland Philharmonic. But when side effects from her lithium start affecting her ability to read music, she turns to her mother for advice. Her mom – a concert pianist who has never accepted her daughter's illness – convinces Anna to stop taking her meds. As you might expect, things go downhill from there. The book is all about breaking free of stigma, denial, and family expectations. It's about acceptance and finding a way to embrace the changes that Bipolar can force down your throat. I started working on it while I was debating leaving residency. At the time, I was feeling the weight of failure quite keenly. The book started out as a way for me to work through these feelings, to come to some semblance of acceptance. But since it's inception (and I've now gone through more than 30 drafts), it's become a lot more.

We spend a lot of time on The Bio Report talking about innovation. We are living at a time of great scientific advances that are translating into remarkable therapies that are changing people's lives. Sometimes, though, the type of innovation needed to address a global health problem has more to do with access and delivery than technology. This was brought home to me when my friend Menghis Bairu, an Eritrean-born physician, life sciences executive, and philanthropist, returned from a recent trip. Menghis had gone to Ethiopia and Eritrea, where he worked with the Himalayan Cataract Project. HCP is working to eradicate curable blindness. There are some 18 million people in the developing world who are unable to perform the tasks of daily living because of easily treatable cataracts that can be addressed with a fast and inexpensive procedure. During a one-week period in these countries, the organization performed nearly 4,500 sight-saving surgeries and provided training to doctors in there. We spoke to Matt Oliva, associate clinical professor in the division of international ophthalmology at the Casey Eye Institute and Oregon Health Sciences University, and a member of the Himalayan Cataract Project board who is involved in the clinical and programmatic direction of HCPs outreach in Ethiopia, about the burden of blindness in the developing world, the global health need HCP is addressing, and its model for delivering care and training to cure preventable blindness. We're doing this special edition of The Bio Report podcast to help Menghis' fundraising efforts to bring HCP back to Ethiopia and Eritrea in 2020. The campaign is seeking to raise $100,000. We've provided a link to the GoFundMe campaign (https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/giving-the-gift-of-sight-in-ethiopia-and-eritrea). We encourage all of our listeners to consider making a contribution to support the effort.

This is one of my favorite conversations to date and is a perfect follow up to the last episode with Aubrey, we go deep into a variety of worm holes that will surely leave most people with some great ideas to ponder on. Dr. Dan Engle, MD is a practicing psychiatrist, board certified in psychiatry and neurology. He graduated medical school at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, and finished his residency in psychiatry at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. After residency he completed a fellowship in child psychiatry at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, OR. His current practice combines functional medicine with integrative psychiatry to enhance the foundations of regenerative health and peak performance training. Before completing his medical degree he was a collegiate soccer player for St. Edwards University in Austin.

His early curiosity around dentistry is not uncommon. His path and experience is quite unique. From the moment, he was referred to the orthodontist at eleven years old and realized that he could wear cool ties every day, he was intrigued. When he watched (suffered) as his huge “buck teeth” became a more reasonable part of his face with the help (torture) of a bionator, the dreaded head-gear, and huge uneven brackets on every tooth, he knew this was his future. It wasn’t necessarily creating nice smiles that struck him. He intuitively knew that he could have a positive impact people’s happiness, self-esteem and confidence (But at his young age those were not the words he would have used. He wasn’t much of an accomplished reader at that time, nor did he possess a broad vocabulary).   He worked in the lab of that same hometown (Reno, Nevada) orthodontist in high school and eventually managed the lab (fabricating a wide range of orthodontic appliances every day) while completing his undergraduate studies (and starting a family a bit early just to keep things interesting) until he was accepted to dental school in Oregon. His experience of the team in that practice and the intentional energy given to it laid the foundation for his future, to say the least. Once in dental school in Portland, (Oregon Health & Sciences University), he connected with the Department of Orthodontics, working on several research projects and was even published! But no, he is not an orthodontist. Crazy, right?   He went back to his home town to practice dentistry, which is really where his career began to evolve in a unique way. He was an impatient associate in a practice he would purchase after a one-year associateship. He was then a young practice owner and disrespectful boss of the dentist who had owned the practice for 34 years. Yes, he has learned much the hard way, but learned he has. He focused on his team and quickly learned a new word for his vocabulary: Humility.   As fate would have it, he and his family would move back to Portland, creating an opportunity for Kevin to quickly find and associate to help the transition, find a buyer for his practice, work as an associate in Portland, while looking for a new practice to purchase, all simultaneously! Yes, early in his career, he would experience almost every aspect of the dental business, a gift wrapped in unique box. The new practice in Portland had its challenges, as all practices do. This time it was a turn-key experience in a practice that needed considerable updating. Shortly after paying for (ok, financing) the improvements, it became obvious that the practice needed a better location. So, Kevin had an opportunity to experience a new building with new build-outs, new equipment, and patients that were uncertain if the drive to the new location was worth it, another gift and a weird looking package.   While dealing with the crazy business side of dentistry, he was focusing on becoming a better leader, facilitator, and dentist. His many hours learning from Frank Spear, The Pankey Institute, Tucker Gold Study Club (Tom Walker), TMD Study Club (Sam Higdon), Behavioral and Occlusion Study Club (Margie Mannering and David Latz) and so many others allowed him the opportunity to create a practice with exceptional dentistry, yet always focused on his team. As some in the dental community took note of his ability to truly integrate what he was learning into his practice, he was asked to start sharing his experience in the dental school, study clubs, and several other organizations. And he loved it!   Following his passion for education and facilitation, he sold his practice to pursue academia, completing a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration (Identical coursework and pathway as the MBA Healthcare degree as a cohort), direct several clinical courses at the dental school, and direct the Faculty Dental Practice. In 2014, he was asked to join as full-time faculty at Spear Education, where he served several key roles until 2018, including Director of Spear Online, co-course-director of Facially Generated Treatment Planning Workshop, Occlusion Workshop, Dental Sleep Medicine Workshop, Exceptional Dental Team Workshop, Comprehensive Dentistry in the Digital World, Seminar, multiple Spear Online educational courses, Director of Visiting Faculty and practiced in the Faculty Practice.   Kevin has practiced, learned and taught at every level. His very unique experiences and education provide him with the tools, empathy and skills to help dentists and dental teams reach appropriate goals and dreams, helping make every day in the practice a day of camaraderie, love, compassion, and empathy for each other and the patient.   https://ksquaredfacilitation.com/

DOCTORS, ACES AND TRAUMA INFORMED MEDICAL CARE Doctors know medicine, but do they know people? More specifically, do they know that childhood trauma can create a difficult patient, or a high-risk patient, or patient who appears not to follow directions? Do doctors need to know about trauma-informed care and is anyone doing anything about it? Andrew Seaman is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Oregon Health & Sciences University, and he’s created a program to help medical residents get hands on experience and understanding of ACEs – the Adverse Childhood Experiences study that is reshaping how we look at the bad things that happen to people as children. Seaman is an educator, addiction medicine and hepatitis C researcher, and a healthcare for the homeless clinician.  His research passions center around issues surrounding drug use, but extend to the implementation of trauma-informed care practices into healthcare systems. His program at OHSU includes trained mentors and role playing to help future doctors recognize and work with those whose childhood trauma impacts their health and behaviors today. Join us as we talk adverse childhood experiences, trauma informed medical care, and how we can help the medical community learn how to help us all.

Dr. Susanne Breen is a board certified naturopathic physician. She completed her medical training at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) after initial medical studies at the Oregon Health Sciences University in conventional medicine.  Healing, she discovered, required more than medication or even natural remedies.

Another great story of “How did you wind up in this business?” Erin Kennedy leapt from Aerospace to cannabis, another example of taking skills from an established industry and applying them to the newly-legalized, constantly evolving world of cannabis. Erin and family had been hoping to move to Oregon some day, and when an opening at Oregon Health Sciences University medical marijuana dispensary became available, they jumped at it. This adventure turned into becoming a state inspector, where she became only too familiar with the rules and regulations, because she basically had a hand in creating many of them with her feedback from visiting all the sites and stores. Then the private sector called and Erin could not resist. Not only is it quite common for people to get knowledge of how the public sector works and then become “Sherpas” to the private sector as consultants, Erin’s performance as an inspector was what separated her from the pack. She gained so much respect as an inspector for her fairness and knowledge that is was the people whose operations she inspected that begged her to work for them. Oregon’s big challenge right now? Stay united. Some infighting has begun and that will only lead to extinction for current operators as they will be easy prey when the rules are set and the big players come in. Cannabis found Erin, not the other way around Working in Aerospace before for five years. Friend told her of Oregon having a medical program. She had family in Oregon and she and husband wanted to move anyway, so they took the leap. Started at OHSU dispensary. She didn’t try cannabis as a kid, was a “rule-follower” – most inspectors are! Not good with bureaucracy because of her “Vulcan” mind for asking if something is logical First inspection was difficult because they were writing the rules as they went along. But they got through is and all was well The stigma of low lighting, people in tie-dyed t-shirts, rather dingy needs to go away to keep the industry credible. Otherwise people from the outside see weed as dark and dirty What’s your vision of the evolution? There is that “Apple” influence with lots of light to show off the beauty of the plants. And then there’s another group that wants you to feel you’re coming into a comfortable home and you’re safe. A place you could bring your Grandmother and feel safe Some go overboard with cannabis themes Hygiene was only recently added to the regulations with regard to inspections. Now with edibles, is very important to watch Watch a company to see if operations actually match written policy. Especially when it comes to inventory control Average inspection is about four hours Always audit inventory. Looking for accuracy first. Record keeping issues and tracking are key indicators of what inspectors will be checking. Weigh inventory and margin of error is 5% actual weight vs. records from receiving inventory to sale. For flower only That 5% means at each stage, not from original inventory purchase Has been to at least 100 inspections so far. Only one time when she thought being an inspector was not such a great idea. Went out to a dispensary where there had been complaints. Was told the place was not safe, but went up to the store anyway. Owner of store didn’t have a retail license, but had a grow site. Rather scary story on her trip through the site, but all ended well 76 pages of rules, and packaging and labeling are coming later Transitioning to OLCC also conflicts with OHA rules. So very, very hard for retailers to stay on top of being compliant Now in the private sector. Very flattering about becoming a consultant to the people that had been inspected by her before, now they wanted her to work for them! Work with growers, processors and retailers.
