This week we speak with Professor James Cnota of Cincinnati Children's Hospital about a recent report he co-authored from the SVR trial regarding the impact of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on outcomes in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). How common is TR seen in the HLHS patient and how does this change over time after surgical palliations? Is there an optimal time to intervene on the tricuspid valve in this patient group? What does the future hold for tricuspid surgical interventions? Dr. Cnota has the answers this week. doi: 10.1007/s00246-025-04122-x

In January, the CDC announced major revisions to the US childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of diseases covered by routine vaccines from 17 to 11. The changes followed a December 2025 presidential memorandum directing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr and acting CDC director Jim O'Neill to update the schedule if “superior approaches” were identified abroad. The revisions also come months after Kennedy ended the terms of all 17 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices members in June 2025 and quickly replaced them with new appointees, some of whom had previously expressed antivaccine views. He said the move was intended to restore public trust in vaccines. To better understand what these developments could mean for vaccine access and coverage, The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) spoke with Susan Cantrell, the CEO of the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, about the managed care pharmacy perspective on the updated recommendations. Throughout her conversation with AJMC, she discussed her reaction to the changes and their implications for pediatric vaccination and public health, as well as the evolving role of managed care pharmacists in supporting vaccine access and addressing vaccine hesitancy.

This week, Gabby talks with Dr. Taz — traditionally trained physician, integrative medicine expert, and founder of Whole Plus — about what it really means to practice medicine in today's world.They begin with the new U.S. health guidelines and unpack why Dr. Taz considers them a “win” — particularly the shift toward whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and the callout of ultra-processed foods. But the conversation quickly goes deeper.They discuss why food pairing and portion size matter more than food labels, how blood sugar and inflammation are driving modern disease, and why simple carbohydrates may be at the center of the chronic illness epidemic.From there, the episode moves into something bigger: shared decision-making in medicine. Dr. Taz explains why individualized care — especially in pediatrics — requires nuance, context, and trust between families and physicians. She shares her own journey through personal health struggles, how that experience reshaped her medical philosophy, and why healing requires more than just prescriptions and protocols.Gabby and Dr. Taz also explore:Micro habits that lower cortisol and improve metabolic healthThe impact of blue light and screens on inflammationWhy 10-minute practices can shift your nervous systemThe difference between “data-driven” health and intuitive healthGender differences in how men and women approach wellnessThe importance of family systems in long-term healingWhy medicine must move from authority to partnershipAt its core, this conversation isn't about trends or controversy. It's about reconnecting science with spirit — and empowering families to think critically, ask better questions, and practice health in ways that actually work for their lives.Chapters00:00 – Why evidence-based holistic medicine matters05:00 – The new U.S. health guidelines: what changed10:00 – Simple carbs, insulin resistance, and inflammation15:00 – Full-fat foods, meat, and food pairing nuance22:00 – Why personalization beats rigid rules30:00 – Gender differences in health blind spots40:00 – Micro habits: 10-minute practices that shift cortisol50:00 – Personalized medicine and micro-dosing prescriptions58:00 – Pediatric care, shared decision-making, and gut health1:08:00 – Trust in medicine and rebuilding relationships1:18:00 – Medicine as a calling, not a business1:24:00 – What keeps Dr. Taz groundedKey Takeaways• Pairing and portions matter more than labels.• Inflammation and blood sugar instability drive most chronic disease.• Micro habits can regulate cortisol without overwhelming change.• Health is contextual — environment, stress, and family systems all matter.• Personalized medicine isn't alternative — it's responsible.• Shared decision-making builds trust between doctors and families.• Nervous system regulation may be the foundation of long-term healing.ConnectDr. TazInstagram: @drtazmdWhole Plus: https://holplus.coGabby ReeceInstagram: @gabbyreeceYouTube: The Gabby Reece ShowProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adolescence is full of firsts. Big questions about bodies, safety and choices rise to the surface. Contraception can feel intimidating for teens and complex for pediatricians. However, it's also a powerful touchpoint to shape safety, confidence and long-term health. In this episode, we're unpacking the role pediatricians play in guiding teens through reproductive care, where pediatricians can transform a potentially awkward moment into an opportunity for empowerment. For this discussion, we're joined by Tricia Huguelet, MD. She is the section chief of the Division of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at Children's Hospital Colorado. In addition to being a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, she is the program director for the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Fellowship, and co-director of the Young Women Bleeding Disorders Program. Some highlights from this episode include: When pediatricians should feel confident to prescribe contraception How to handle consent and confidentiality What methods would be best for each patient Most common barriers to access For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
When you put your faith in vaccination, disappointment is inevitable. Aaron Siri, Esq. has been litigating Big Pharma issues for many years, and has a wealth of legal knowledge about the topic as a result. He has found that belief in this pharmaceutical system has evolved into a religion for many people. Despite all the flaws in safety testing and ethical concerns with mandates, questioning these things is considered taboo and those who do not follow in lock-step with the “safety and efficacy” narrative are outcast. Doctors lose profit, media outlets lose funding, relationships suffer and employees are fired. Our “Pediatric Perspectives” host, Paul Thomas, M.D. interviews Siri today in an eye-opening episode that viewers won't want to miss. Tune in!
