Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Leading with love: a physician's guide to clarity and compassion." Jessie shares how a personal crisis involving her husband's severe depression forced her to abandon her training in logic and control for a more intuitive approach. She explains how the simple question "What would love do?" became a compass that transformed her decision-making in both the clinic and the boardroom. The conversation challenges the misconception that love is too soft for health care, arguing instead that it provides the necessary strength for boundaries and honest leadership. Jessie details how this shift from managing to connecting can fund wellness programs and heal the broken culture of medicine.

On this Charlotte Talks, the challenges faced by pediatricians in a world of vaccine resistance. The number of measles cases in South Carolina has risen to 950. It grows almost daily and is entirely preventable if children are given the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. Pediatricians are advocating for those vaccines, but some parents are refusing. We look at this phenomenon, its impact on pediatricians, and what's at stake.
In this bonus episode, Sural Shah, MD, MPH, FAAP, discusses the impact of immigration enforcement on children. David Hill, MD, FAAP, and Joanna Parga-Belinkie, MD, FAAP, ask about how pediatricians can support families affected by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) raids as well as the conditions of detention centers.

Why are compassion, kindness and humility critical to the care of patients in 2026?

What if childhood eczema isn't a skin problem at all, but the body's first warning sign that something deeper is off? In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana-Marie Temple (https://www.dranamaria.com/) to unpack what's really driving the dramatic rise in childhood eczema. From early antibiotic exposure and gut disruption to food sensitivities, stress, and the cycle of topical steroids, this conversation reframes eczema as a whole-body issue rather than something to simply “manage” on the surface.

Dr. Megan Prior is a parent and a board-certified pediatrician in DC who serves on the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Early Childhood. A lot of us know her from her popular social media account, Itty Bitty Revolution, where she describes herself as a pediatrician and mom with a policy obsession. We love her work and were thrilled to have her on the show to chat about the real, massive impacts that federal policies have on American families. From recent changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, to age-old issues around paid parental leave and childcare costs, Prior helps us think about where we are right now and what parents today can and should be focused on and fighting for to make family life better for all.

A jury in NY awarded $2 million to Fox Varian after jurors found that psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin committed medical malpractice by performing a double mastectomy on Varian when she was only 16. Varian told the jury she was “disfigured for life.” Now 22, Varian detransitioned and “no longer thinks of herself as a male” but suffers from permanent effects of the irreversible surgery that was performed by physicians “failing to follow proper standards.” Her case is the first detrans lawsuit to go to trial and win in the United States – one of dozens of other cases being fought nationwide.

This week we replay an episode from nearly 2 years ago about an editorial commentary from multiple congenital heart surgical leaders in the US. The topic of their expert opinion piece is the concept of public reporting of results and their 'amplification' through organizations such as US News and World Report, to name one. How has the use of the database from STS been sometimes misinterpreted through public reporting or ranking systems? What was the initial intent of the STS database and how does the present usage of these data differ from the initial intent? Do STS risk adjustment models capture all aspects of risk for patients undergoing surgery and how do deficiencies in this result in unfair 'rankings' of programs? Can we 'take control' of our data and interpret it more clearly and accurately for the public and reduce misusage or misinterpretation of the data? How can public reporting result in improved outcomes? How can 'gaming' of the system be reduced? Dr. Emile Bacha, Professor of Surgery at Columbia University shares his deep insights into a complex and challenging topic.DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2023.03.022

Press play, book the pedicure, call your doctor, and carry on.
One of the most worrisome trends impacting our nation's public health right now is the spread of misinformation about the risks and benefits of vaccines. Tragically, this sobering development is on display right now in our state where multiple outbreaks of measles – a dangerous and sometimes deadly and debilitating illness – have emerged thanks to the failure of parents to secure vaccination for their children. And it's in light of developments like this that an array of experts and average citizens are pushing back with accurate information and advocacy, and recently we caught up with one of the leaders of that effort – veteran Ohio-based pediatrician Dr. Arthur Lavin. Lavin helps lead a national organization called Grandparents for Vaccines and as he told Newsline, he and his colleagues in this effort are determined to remind Americans of some simple truths about communicable disease that many have forgotten. Click here for the full interview with Dr. Arthur Lavin of Grandparents for Vaccines.
Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and Democratic candidate challenging Lindsey Graham for U.S. Senate in South Carolina, joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss why healthcare providers must lead the fight for reform in an era of collapsing trust in federal institutions. Andrews explains that pediatricians should be at the forefront because Medicaid—the largest insurer of children—has been gutted, and doctors are now disputing dangerous government vaccine policies from an administration where medical information can no longer be trusted. She argues the healthcare system is fundamentally broken, rewarding providers for delivering more treatment rather than better outcomes while facing what she describes as a coordinated attack on healthcare. As a physician countering "Dr. Internet" disinformation, Andrews discusses running as a Democrat despite the challenges, emphasizing that Democrats have a severe geographic disconnect with rural voters, particularly rural Black voters in South Carolina for whom nothing has improved. Andrews takes direct aim at Lindsey Graham, calling him a follower rather than a leader who simply follows Trump and supports unconstitutional actions while thinking he's politically invulnerable. She expresses disappointment that Nikki Haley and Nancy Mace couldn't stand up to Trump, noting both have "devolved in recent years." Drawing inspiration from the Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock blueprint for Democrats in the South, Andrews insists that if Democrats win the midterms they must be bold, hold Trump accountable, and not take impeachment off the table. Reflecting on her pandemic experience—a period she believes Americans still don't understand—Andrews criticizes D.C. politicians for being disconnected from the real world and argues that on issues like AI regulation, profits cannot be prioritized over common sense safety solutions.

It feels like Groundhog Day in Washington, but with far higher stakes: Chuck Todd unpacks how the constant churn of déjà vu political scandals has morphed from quirky repetition into full-blown national exhaustion. This episode dives into a rapidly growing blue-wave electorate colliding with what may be the most consequential corruption story of our time—allegations that Trump-era public policy was effectively put up for sale. From a $500 million UAE investment in a Trump-linked company to the approval of advanced AI chip sales, lucrative pardons, and billions in defense contracts tied to the Trump family orbit, Chuck argues this isn’t a one-off scandal but a systemic pattern that dwarfs Watergate. As Congress looks away and enforcement agencies stay silent, the question becomes existential: when foreign money shapes national security decisions, is American policy still being made for the country—or for the first family?

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 치유의 기억| When Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Medicine: The Integrative Pediatrician — The One With Dr. Tokunbo Akande | Episode 38 (2025)Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how many of us are holding two things at once: prescription bottles on one hand, herbal teas and mindfulness practices on the other. Somewhere in the middle, a question keeps surfacing for me: what does healing look like when we stop asking it to choose between science and soul?In this episode, I sit with Dr. Tokunbo Akande, a board-certified pediatrician, clinical informaticist, and dual-trained fellow in integrative medicine and Ayurveda. Dr. Akande moves with ease between worlds. He can talk vaccine schedules and electronic health records, and in the same breath speak to doshas, herbs, and the wisdom he grew up with. We talk about how ancient healing traditions can live alongside modern medicine, why stories matter in clinical spaces, and what sustainable wellbeing really looks like when you're navigating burnout, cultural displacement, and the quiet loss of inherited knowledge.Dr. Akande shares his journey, from growing up with childhood asthma in Nigeria to nearly leaving medical school, to rediscovering the herbs that reshaped his relationship with healing during the pandemic, and eventually founding Harmony 360 Health. Along the way, we reflect on what gets lost when medicine forgets the body, and what becomes possible when we learn to listen again.If you're tired of the false choice between East and West, traditional and modern, this conversation offers something gentlerand truer. A reminder that healing isn't something we outsource, and balance isn't passive. It's a practice.At the end of the episode, Tokunbo offers a short guided body scan. It's a small gift; five quiet minutes that might help you come back home to yourself.
This week we review a recent work on fetal atrial septal interventions in the patient with hypoplastic left ventricle or double outlet right ventricle with mitral valve atresia/dysplasia and a restrictive or intact atrial septum. How often was this procedure technically feasible and successful? What are the criteria to be considered for such an intervention? Why does use of a laser improve the crossing of the atrial septum in this procedure? Should prenatal intervention be used instead of postnatal intervention in this setting? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Betul Yilmaz shares her insights into this fascinating topic.https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.125.015209

In this episode of Shoulders Down Podcast, Leah talks with Dr. Lauren Hartman, a double board-certified pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist, about why dieting and weight-focused care can be especially harmful for children and teens — and what she's seeing on the front lines of adolescent eating disorder treatment.Drawing from nearly 20 years of experience across hospital systems, outpatient care, and national leadership roles, Dr. Hartman explains why weight loss is rarely sustainable, how dieting increases eating disorder risk, and why a medicalized focus on weight often misses what young people actually need to thrive.Leah and Dr. Hartman also discuss the rise in eating disorders among adolescents, the role of social media and diet culture, and growing concerns around GLP-1 medications.You'll hear about:A doctor's perspective on why dieting and weight loss often backfireWhether eating disorders are on the rise among adolescents — and what's driving the increaseHow social media and diet culture impact teens' relationships with food and bodyGLP-1 medications and the risks of prescribing them to young peopleWhat informed consent should include when it comes to weight-loss interventionsHow parents can help protect children from diet culture and weight stigmaMore From Dr. Lauren Hartman: https://www.aspengroveayam.com/More From Leah:

This week we replay an important episode from 2 years ago in which we delved into the world of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures. What are the data to support its use in the congenital heart patient? Why has this been such a difficult topic to study? What do we now know about this topic and what still remains unanswered?

This week we review a follow-up work from the team at USC and Children's LA led by Dr. Yaniv Bar-Cohen on a novel micropacemaker. How has the device changed and improved over the past 3-5 years since his last visit to Pediheart? What are some of the difficulties of designing a device that is both stable on the epicardium but not inclined to develop inflammation? Why did the team move from a screw in eletrode model to a different design? What applications could this device have both for infants but also adults? Dr. Bar-Cohen shares his deep knowledge of both electrophysiology and device design this week.DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2025.01.036For those interested in stepping back in time to hear Dr. Bar-Cohen's first description of an earlier version of this novel pacemaker, here is the link from 2018:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pediheart-podcast-26-novel-means-of-epicardial/id1341472214?i=1000498801107
In this episode of 7 Minute Stories, Aaron revisits the last conversation he ever had with his pediatrician, a moment that left him angry, insecure, and determined to prove someone else wrong. What follows is a teenage experiment fueled by insecurity, chocolate milkshakes, and the belief that changing the body might fix everything else. Years later, Aaron reflects on what actually changed and what didn't. It's a story about growth, certainty, and the quiet realization that some answers can't be measured on a chart.
When addressing obesity in the clinic, it's common to ask patients to focus on food and exercise. But what if we think upstream of the clinical problem and consider the environments, habits and systems that shape health from the very beginning?

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Zhen Chan shares his unique journey from growing up in Miami, Florida to becoming a pediatrician in Washington, DC, and ultimately venturing into the entrepreneurial side of healthcare. Dr. Chan discusses his educational background, including an MD-MBA dual degree, and how it shaped his interests in blending artistic and scientific aspects within the medical field. He delves into his clinical practice in the 'fast track' side of an emergency room and his desire to improve healthcare systems. Dr. Chan also talks about his entrepreneurial endeavors, like founding Grapevine, a community focused on healthcare workforce optimization and reducing burnout among medical professionals. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of networking and staying updated with technological advancements to better serve patients and the healthcare community. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: 1. The Power of Networking in Healthcare: Dr. Chan emphasizes that building professional relationships and communities—like her Grapevine initiative—is crucial for career growth, combating burnout, and reducing social isolation among healthcare professionals. Networking is not just for business leaders; it's essential for clinicians at all stages. 2. Innovation and Entrepreneurship are Vital for Modern Physicians: Dr. Chan's journey shows that blending clinical practice with entrepreneurial thinking and process improvement (such as Six Sigma and MBA training) can help address systemic issues in healthcare. Physicians can—and should—embrace innovation to improve patient care and the healthcare system. 3. Technology and AI Can Reduce Administrative Burden: The discussion highlights how AI-powered tools (like scribing and coding assistants) are transforming healthcare by reducing administrative workload, allowing doctors to focus more on patient care. Accurate documentation and embracing new technologies are key to improving efficiency and outcomes. Meet Dr. Zhen Chan: Dr. Zhen Chan is a practicing pediatrician at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC and Founder/CEO of Grapevyne, a community dedicated to empowering physician autonomy and wellbeing through better networking and understanding about healthcare beyond medicine. He graduated from the University of Miami with his BS in Neuroscience and Criminology, MD, and MBA in Health Management & Policy. After completing his education, he went on to complete his pediatrics residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medicine, where his work in quality improvement and advocacy projects revealed a career path to impact healthcare at scale beyond the exam room. In addition to his clinical practice and his own community, he advises other healthcare startups as well focused on improving healthcare access. Connect with Dr. Zhen Chan:
This week we review a recent report on LV strain following the Ross operation. Can this sort of functional analysis help predict remodeling after aortic valve replacement? How can the type of Ross potentially affect heart function after the operation? Why might some parameters of LV strain improve but others not following surgery? Can preoperative strain measurements predict perioperative course? How does the addition of a Konno to a Ross change the outcomes of function? We speak with Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Primary Children's Hospital in Utah, Dr. S. Adil Husain and 3rd year integrated cardiac surgical resident Michal Schaffer of the University of Utah about these and other topics related to LV function following the Ross operation in children. · DOI: 10.1007/s00246-025-04124-9

We can't wait to experience miracles with you! Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! Join us with Dr. Bob Sears, a pediatrician of nearly 30 years from Dana Point, CA and author of The Vaccine Book. Once a conventional, CDC‑trusting doctor, Dr. Sears shares how his perspective shifted as he encountered vaccine injuries and dug into the actual data behind risks and benefits. They explore what truly makes a "good pediatrician" today—one who honors informed consent, partners with parents regardless of their vaccine choices, and understands natural and holistic options for children's health. The discussion dives into the recent ACIP move on the hepatitis B shot at birth, how states like California may resist those changes, and the growing legal and constitutional battles around mandates and religious exemptions. Highlights: "My mission is to ensure that parents all over the world have access to objective, truthful, undoctored advice and informed consent on vaccines." "A good pediatrician is one that listens to the parents… I'm here to serve you and help you in your journey, not to tell you what to do." "We're vaccinating everyone for a disease that might infect one in 7 million kids." "Doctors normalize reactions like encephalitis because they're happening so often. It's become expected, and that's terrifying."

This week we end 2025 with a Pediheart tradition - an episode on personal finance for medical professionals with noted authority on index investing and personal finance, Mr. Paul Merriman. Paul is a retired investment advisor who now has a popular podcast "Sound Investing" and website in which he offers advice on investing for 'do it yourself' investors. In this week's episode, the 5th of his visits to Pediheart, Mr. Merriman discusses 'factor investing' via index-like ETF's and funds. He also reviews who he believes might benefit from a financial advisor, what sort of advisor most should seek out and why he believes that many do not need one if they can 'stay the course'. Resources mentioned in today's podcast are below. Wishing all a happy and healthy new year in 2026.

As we close out 2025 and step into a fresh year, I've been thinking back on some of the conversations I loved most from guest spots on other shows. New episodes pick back up on January 7. On this episode of The Dude Therapist, I joined Eli Weinstein for a conversation that moved through so many parts of real-life parenting — the worries, the humor, the triggers, and the growth that comes with raising kids. We talked about why parents get so locked into metrics, how to zoom out and see the whole child, and what it looks like to pause, observe, and guide instead of jumping in. I shared how becoming a mom shifted my own approach, from sleep to feeding to managing my triggers, and why self insight matters just as much as the strategies we offer our kids. It was an honest, grounded chat about raising kids while raising ourselves too. We discuss: Why parents get stuck on numbers like weight percentiles and milestones. How giving kids space to try and struggle helps them grow. How boredom supports play and problem solving. How a parent's own childhood shapes reactions and triggers. What healthy boundaries look like without shame or fear. How to handle online misinformation with calm and clarity. The importance of steady check-ins and flexible routines at home. Eli Weinstein, LCSW is a therapist, speaker, and creator of The Dude Therapist podcast. His work focuses on making mental health and relationship topics accessible, relatable, and grounded in real life. His upcoming book, From I Do to We Do (Wiley, March 2026), is a compassionate, practical guide for couples navigating the challenges of parenting while trying to stay connected as partners.

Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
As we near Christmas and the end of the year at the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I find myself reflecting on the inspiring projects I've worked on with my clients throughout 2025. In this episode, I share stories about reconnecting with past clients, including a woman who has transformed her life and home, and a couple creating a functional farmhouse in upstate New York that balances modern needs with the charm of an older home. I also discuss a long-term client who transitioned from a mid-century modern home in California to a new build in New Jersey, and a pediatrician in Dobbs Ferry whose practice reflects the local community. I encourage listeners to share their own projects and inspirations, and remind everyone about our last-minute gift opportunities, including my online class bundle for interior design enthusiasts. As I take a brief hiatus for the holidays, I look forward to returning in 2026 with new episodes and fresh goals for the upcoming year.

Developmental-behavioral pediatrician Ronald L. Lindsay discusses his article, "A pediatrician's reckoning with behavior therapy." He shares his profound professional and personal pivot, moving from a decades-long focus on measurable goals to understanding the deep trauma and harm caused by applied behavior analysis (ABA). Ronald explains why he now supports the #BanABA initiative, detailing how the therapy often prioritizes compliance over communication and normalization over neurodiversity, particularly for nonspeaking autistic individuals. He calls for a shift away from coercive behavioral interventions, which were driven by insurance mandates, toward dignity-centered alternatives like DIR/Floortime and robust AAC support. Learn why this pediatrician is unbuilding his legacy to advocate for autistic voices and ethical, trauma-informed care. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

What happens when the dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” call rings out at 35,000 feet? On this high-altitude episode, we're joined by Dr. Ann Marshburn, pediatric hospitalist, former NASA researcher, and former pilot, to explore the unique world of in-flight medical emergencies. We cover what you need to know before stepping forward, the equipment and resources available on planes, the medical conditions you're most likely to encounter, and how to keep your cool when turbulence isn't the only problem.
