Episode DescriptionAudra Moran is the President and CEO of OCRA—Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—which means she spends her days doing things most of us wouldn't survive five minutes doing: merging nonprofits, leading national patient support programs, funding lifesaving research, surviving pharma grant hell, and trying to reach every woman in America who might be slipping through the cracks. We talk about her time working with the Helen Keller National Center (yes, she knows finger spelling), her accidental journey into cancer nonprofit leadership, the weirdness of dermoid cysts, the ridiculousness of writing grants, and the absolute hellscape of diagnosis delay. Oh, and the fallopian tubes. You'll never look at them the same way again.This episode is funny, raw, deeply personal, and loaded with Gen X movie references and random facts about Paul Rudd, Terminator 2, and flipbook apps at 3am. Audra drops wisdom, humility, and a few hot takes on AI, advocacy, and what it really means to lead when the boulder keeps rolling downhill.RELATED LINKSAudra Moran on LinkedInOvarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA)Audra's profile on OCRACURE Today interview: Leading the FightOCRA + AI & Data: Overlooked PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Christine Verini is a pharmacist by training, a nonprofit CEO by title, and an unapologetic empath by design. She now leads CancerCare, one of the oldest, least-known, and most impactful organizations in the country that actually helps real cancer patients deal with the practical garbage no one likes to talk about—like paying rent, affording a ride to chemo, or feeding their kids.We talk about her career pivot from industry to impact, what it's like trying to scale empathy without losing your soul, and the daily gut-punch of knowing there are millions of people who still have no idea that CancerCare exists. Christine gets real about leadership, advocacy, burnout, and why being “pan-cancer” matters more than ever in a world obsessed with biomarkers, buckets, and branding.She also dishes on what AI gets dead wrong, what patients actually want when they call for help, and why “ghosting” someone with cancer is still a thing. Buckle up. This one's packed with heart, brains, and a little righteous rage.RELATED LINKSCancerCareChristine Verini on LinkedInChristine's CEO Announcement – PR NewswireCancer Health 25: Christine VeriniChristine on HealthyWomenBIO Convention Speaker ProfileFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Jennifer Finkelstein is not here for your pity, your pinkwashed slogans, or your performative awareness campaigns. She's a 20-year young adult breast cancer survivor who turned trauma into a blueprint for action and built 5 Under 40, a no-BS nonprofit supporting women diagnosed with breast cancer under 40.In this episode, we go full Gen X therapy session—from SNL nostalgia and cold caps to the absurdity of finding out you have cancer while looking for the remote. Jen drops real talk about founding a nonprofit when nothing existed for her age group, why mental health support isn't optional, and how passing down designer scarves can mean arming someone for battle.If you're looking for honesty, grit, and a few inappropriate jokes about gastroenterology, this one's for you.

Live from Texas Lung - Patient Education by IASLC

Helene M. Epstein is not here to make friends with the healthcare system. She's here to dismantle the bullshit, one catastrophic medical error at a time. A marketing agency veteran turned patient safety firebrand, Helene's journey from copywriter to cancer misdiagnosis survivor, to “badass queen of patient safety,” is one hell of a ride.We talk about how her son was misdiagnosed over 15 times (yes, really), why some doctors should come with warning labels, and how American healthcare gaslights patients like it's a competitive sport. She also explains why she's giving away her new book for free, one chapter at a time, and how AI might actually be useful—if it stops hallucinating citations.This is not a light listen. It's the real deal. You'll walk away angry, inspired, and a lot more dangerous as a patient.RELATED LINKSHelene's Substack: https://helenemepstein.substack.comPatient Safety Resources: https://www.pfps.usSociety to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine: https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/society-improve-diagnosis-medicineHelene's Website: https://www.hmepstein.com/meet-heleneLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hmepsteinFEEDBACKLike this episode?

After losing their son, Zach, they turned their grief into action, founding Zach's Bridge, a lifeline for families navigating pediatric cancer.

This week's Expert is Jeff McIntyre, Vice President, Liver Programs at the Global Liver Institute. His major topic is how recent high-level FDA job cuts might affect MASH drug and diagnostics development. He also shares reactions to FibroSIGHT, HistoIndex's new digital pathology service for clinical practice. Highlight: Recent job cuts at the FDA will produce chaos in government and slow response to any emerging crises.Second Highlight: Patient self-advocacy becomes even more important in this environment.The conversation takes place on April 1, which lends context to Jeff's opening comment about the rate and nature of change in Washington, DC. He and Roger quickly focus on high-level job cuts at the FDA. Jeff believes that the clearest outcome from these changes is that the government will be less able to respond promptly and in a medically appropriate manner to future health crises. Jeff agrees with former FDA Commissioner Rob Califf's comment that the FDA as we know it "is dead," and that we have little idea what the future holds. A slower-moving, more chaotic government with a Secretary of HHS who minimizes pharmacotherapies for alternative therapies presents a challenge for all SLD patients. Jeff states that patients need to become more vigilant self-advocates (even more than they are today). He also identifies patient advocacy organizations like GLI as a place patients can go to seek the guidance and support they need from patient advocates. Finally, the conversation turns to discuss FibroSIGHT. Jeff describes FibroSIGHT as "exactly where we should be and should not be at the same time," a technology that takes a significant step forward in understanding and patient support, but one that ties us to biopsy as a standard for clinical care. Jeff and Roger agree this issue will play out over the coming years.

Sarah Armstrong—forever Sarah Oakden to me, no matter what the legal documents say—isn't just my best friend. She's my first college friend, my musical theater soulmate, and the first person who truly saw me as an artist. She was there when I walked onto Binghamton's campus, and she was there when I walked into cancer hell. And, because we're nothing if not in sync, a few decades later, she got her own cancer badge of honor, and I was right there with her every step of the way.This episode is a love letter to friendship, music, and those moments that change your life forever. We nerd out over Sondheim, Binghamton's infamous "Theater 101 with Dr. Susan Peters." and the weird and wonderful rabbit holes that turn into entire alternate realities across decades of aging gracefully and falling with style.We talk about how cancer is the worst club with the best people and how surviving it together just adds another verse to the song we've been singing for 30 years. It's funny. It's real. It's a master class in love, laughter, and musicals that should have been bigger; with a big tip of the hat to Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer for their acclaimed musical "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road"Oh, and RIP to the legendary Denny's on Vestal Parkway.

His journey into physical therapy began after a change from pursuing medicine. The understanding of tendinopathy has evolved significantly over the years. Loading strategies are crucial in the rehabilitation of tendons. Patient education is essential for effective treatment and management. Miller emphasizes the importance of simplifying rehabilitation exercises. He shares personal experiences with various tendon injuries. The role of lifestyle factors in tendon health is significant. Miller advocates for a tailored approach to each patient's needs. Understanding the difference between tolerance and capacity in tendon treatment is key. Recovery requires minimizing compressive load during rehabilitation. Step count and stride length can impact gluteal muscle health. Loading is crucial for effective shoulder rehabilitation. Single exercises can be more effective than multiple in rehab. Rotator cuff injuries often relate to tendinopathy. Education coupled with exercise enhances rehabilitation outcomes. Shoulder pain can stem from both compressive and tensile loading. Strengthening the shoulder complex is vital for overall function. Psychological factors play a significant role in shoulder pain management. Maintaining activity levels is important to prevent underloading.

How future doctors are navigating social media's impact on public education. How can a well-meaning medfluencer be sure they're actually helping? M1 Zach Grissom, M2 Fallon Jung, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M4 Matt Engelken sit down with third-year DO student Nik Bletnitsky to discuss the role of social media in medical education. Current and Future doctors are increasingly using these platforms to share medical knowledge—but, even if you're careful to offer the best information, what are the hidden dangers? The conversation covers the sometimes blurry line between education, misinformation, and contradicting someone's doctor's advice. How disclaimers work (or don't), and why the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn a curious patient into an overconfident self-diagnoser. Should doctors be influencers? Can patients trust what they see online? And is it possible to make medical knowledge accessible without accidentally making things worse?

Kieran McNally's journey from the Irish military to private practice is anything but ordinary. After years of working hands-on with athletes and patients, he realized traditional approaches weren't always enough. That led him on a deep dive into the science of pain, the brain, and how communication plays a vital role in healing. We talk about his book, Pain and the Survivor Brain, and why understanding pain as a form of communication can change everything for both patients and practitioners. Kieran breaks down why people stay stuck in chronic pain, how the healthcare system often fails them, and what clinicians can do to truly help. If you've ever been frustrated with pain management—whether as a patient or a provider—this conversation will give you a whole new perspective.Learn more about our guest at:https://www.amazon.com/Pain-Survival-Brain-Holistic-Approach-ebook/dp/B0CP5142N8https://www.kieranmcnally.net/info@kieranmcnally.netCheck out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance:https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!

In this episode of "Ditch the Lab Coat," Dr. Mark Bonta welcomes Dr. Behnam Banihashemi, a cardiologist specializing in cardiovascular prevention, wellness, and longevity. Dr. Banihashemi discusses the concept of Medicine 2.0, which includes advancements in pharmaceuticals and interventions that have extended life expectancy in the Western world, along with a focus on improving lifestyle choices to further enhance longevity. However, he emphasizes that the real key to living a longer, healthier life lies in addressing lifestyle factors such as fitness, nutrition, sleep, and mental health.Dr. Banihashemi explains that although cardiac procedures like stents can be life-saving during heart attacks, they do not necessarily improve life expectancy for those with stable angina. Instead, lifestyle changes have a more significant impact. He highlights the influence of pharmaceutical funding on medical research and practice, leading to an emphasis on treatments rather than preventive care.The conversation also covers the limitations of the Canadian healthcare system, which does not incentivize primary prevention, and the potential benefits of certain quick fixes like metformin or supplements like protein and creatine. Dr. Banihashemi stresses that small, consistent actions, despite not being marketable, are essential for longevity and that the healthcare system often focuses more on managing diseases than preventing them. Ultimately, individuals hold the power to take charge of their health through day-by-day lifestyle decisions, adding life to their years, not just years to their lives.Get Dr. Banihashemi's 8 Steps to Conquer Chronic Pain: A Doctor's Guide to Lifelong Relief : https://www.amazon.ca/Steps-Conquer-Chronic-Pain-Lifelong/dp/0778807118 Episode Highlights:Longevity Myths Debunked: Dr. Ben sheds light on the widespread misconception that a magic pill exists for living longer.

Welcome to another episode of Out of Patients, where we get real about the absolute circus that is the American healthcare system. If you've ever been trapped in a medical billing nightmare, gaslit by insurance reps, or just generally felt like healthcare is an elaborate game designed to screw you—this one's for you.Joining me is the indomitable Deb Gordon, a relentless champion for healthcare consumers, co-founder of Umbra Health Advocacy, and co-director of the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates. She literally wrote the book (The Healthcare Consumer's Manifesto) on navigating this broken system—and she's here to help you get unf*cked.We talk about why the healthcare system is a hot mess, how patient advocacy is (unfortunately) a booming business, and why you shouldn't have to fight tooth and nail just to get the care you're entitled to. And yes, there are people you can hire to help you navigate the bureaucratic hellscape of prior authorizations, medical bills, and misdiagnoses. It's an infuriating conversation—but also wildly empowering.If you've ever thought, Where the hell was this when I needed it?—well, now you know.RELATED LINKS

What is the best diet for someone with diabetes?   Dr. Thomas Campbell shares his research comparing the DASH Diet and a whole food plant-based diet. Their effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are then examined.   Although both diets showed improvement, the participants experienced superior results while eating the WFPB diet. Dr. Campbell explains why when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   In the Interview:   Plant-Based Diet for Diabetes Management: The interview emphasizes the effectiveness of a whole food plant-based diet in managing diabetes, contrasting it with other dietary approaches like the keto diet, which merely suppresses symptoms rather than addressing underlying issues.   Influence of Family Legacy: Dr. Campbell reflects on the profound influence of his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell who co-authored The China Study, on his career choice in medicine, emphasizing that his motivation stemmed from passion rather than pressure.   Challenges in Medical Nutrition Education: He highlights a significant gap in knowledge among medical professionals regarding diet and its effects on health, particularly in treating conditions like heart disease and diabetes.   Social Norms and Health: Dr. Campbell discusses how social norms contribute to unhealthy eating habits, making it difficult for individuals to change their diets despite knowing the health risks associated with poor nutrition.   Patient Education and Openness: Dr. Campbell stresses the importance of patient openness to dietary changes and the need for healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming patients with information.   Join Chuck and Dr. Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7! — — SHOW LINKS — — Join Chuck and Dr. B in Miami https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — T.

You know how some people enter your life with a knock, a bang, or maybe even a LinkedIn request? Not Rebecca Batterman, returning champion to Out of Patients, making her dramatic second appearance,Back in 2019, she karmically appeared like a plot twist in a film noir—unexpected, inevitable, and full of surprises. An AI strategist, an optimist (yes, those exist), and a young adult cancer survivor, Rebecca is here to school us on everything from the future of AI in healthcare to why nostalgia is a coping mechanism we all need. In this no-BS conversation, we talk about the state of innovation (is it still a buzzword?), the wild advancements in early cancer detection, and whether AI-generated empathy is just another overpromised tech fantasy.We also take a detour into the absurdity of pinkwashed cancer fundraising, the evolution of cancer portrayals in pop culture, and the ultimate question: Can you separate the art from the artist? Come for the cancer survivorship insights, stay for the South Park references and existential musings on whether you'd rather live in the past (with no antibiotics) or the future (with AI clones of yourself).

Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - fsmsports365.com Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - frequencyspecific.com/getstarted 00:14 A Surprising Medical Case 03:08 Exploring Cranial Nerve Frequencies 04:31 Understanding Muscle Spasticity 06:40 Neurological Insights and Patient Education 09:19 FSM Practitioners and Complex Cases 14:10 Muscle Mechanics and Treatment Strategies 25:39 TMJ and Retrodiscal Tissue Treatment 29:13 Exploring TMJ and Facial Nerve Innervation 30:42 Understanding Trigeminal and Facial Nerve Functions 31:55 Upcoming Events and Notable Speakers 33:18 Heart Health and FSM Applications 43:38 Addressing Stenosis and FSM Treatment 52:19 Concluding Remarks and Next Steps Understanding Complex Neurological Cases The podcast opens with a fascinating case study involving a Ph.D. research biochemist who developed a condition known as Cavernous Hemangioma. This case illustrates the intricacies of treating fragile neurological conditions with FSM. The discussion delves into the importance of understanding cranial nerves and their frequencies, highlighting the necessity of increased secretions in nerves and innovative approaches to manage cranial nerve involvement. Practitioners are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specifics of cranial nerve treatment, particularly how conditions such as thalamic pain can be influenced by surgery-related changes. Handling Muscle Spasticity and Weakness The session further delves into muscle management, emphasizing the concept of "tight weakness" and "stretch weakness" in muscle physiology. For medical practitioners, understanding the cellular mechanics, including the role of actin and myosin, can be crucial in diagnosing and managing spastic or chronically shortened muscles. The podcast underscores the benefit of FSM in increasing ATP for muscle relaxation and strengthening—both critical for optimal muscle function. Stenosis: Misconceptions and Treatment Strategies Stenosis, a common concern, is addressed with clarity, dismissing the myth that FSM is contraindicated for such conditions. Practitioners learn that understanding the mechanics of spinal fluid flow and managing inflammation are key to effective treatment. Special attention is given to cervical and lumbar stenosis, advising on how to approach these differently based on anatomical and physiological variances. Innovative Techniques for Treating Shoulder and TMJ Issues The podcast emphasizes the versatility of FSM in treating complex conditions like shoulder injuries and TMJ disorders. It introduces the idea of using specific frequencies for labrum and annular ligament issues, which can be potent in resolving chronic pain and dysfunction in shoulder and TMJ patients. Genetic and Mitochondrial Considerations in Treatment The session discusses a genetic condition, SPG7, shedding light on the importance of understanding genetic and mitochondrial contributions to disease progression. For practitioners, using FSM for abnormal protein accumulation and mitochondrial health can stave off advancement in otherwise degenerative conditions. Final Thoughts and Peer Involvement The concluding parts stress the importance of continuous learning and collaboration in the FSM community, urging practitioners to remain curious and collaborative, utilizing tools like Netter's Anatomy for inspiration. Sharing case studies and engaging in forums can enhance understanding and therapeutic outcomes in practice. By internalizing the teachings and discussions from this detailed podcast, medical practitioners can unlock new avenues for healing and patient care, integrating FSM into their standard practices for improved outcomes. As always, engagement with the FSM community for continued learning and sharing of knowledge is encouraged, helping to expand the collective understanding and effectiveness of FSM.

What happens when two fresh-faced Gen Zers—Matthew Zachary Worldwide Chief of Staff Jenisa Ramprasad and Marketing Intern Lauren Woodring—sit down with a cranky, nostalgia-fueled Gen Xer (ahem, Matthew Zachary)? Chaos, hilarity, and surprisingly deep insights.This is not your typical Out of Patients episode.What started as a casual, unscripted chat turned into a generational therapy session touching on everything from floppy disks, cassette tapes, and AOL chat rooms to TikTok-induced existential crises and frenetic media consumption with no "ohio baby gronk rizz" or "skibidi toilets". (Whatever that means)Why are Gen Zs so quick to cut off friends? Can you really form deep bonds with someone you've never met in person? And what was the deal with Blu-rays anyway? (Thank you, Producer Kyle Moore, for your added insights) We tackled all the questions, shared plenty of laughs (awkward and intentional), and even found common ground in our shared love for real, human connection. If you've ever felt caught between the "back in my day" crowd and the "why does everything move so slow?" generation, this episode is for you. Prepare to channel your inner dope/phat/fresh inner teenager while cringing to pop culture mansplaining, and maybe even feel inspired to unplug for a minute (but only after you finish listening, of course).RELATED LINKSJenisa Ramprasad on LinkedInLauren Woodring on LinkedInSUNY Binghamton UniversityFEEDBACKLike this episode?
