Newborn babies have some peculiar quirks, habits, and bodily functions. If you're entering parenthood unfamiliar with what's normal and what isn't you might be scared or deeply concerned by things that are pretty routine for new babies.  To have this conversation today with me on Yoga| Birth| Babies I have Dr. Tracey Agnese. Tracey received her undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware.  She graduated from SUNY Downstate medical school and completed her pediatrics residency at NYU. As a Pediatrician and a mom, Dr. Agnese knows how difficult it is to have and care for a newborn baby. She also knows that new moms often neglect taking care of themselves and wants to help change that. Dr. Agnese sees patients in her private practice on the UWS and is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).  In this episode, Dr. Agnese goes over many things from oddly colored baby poop, to irregular breathing patterns, to signs that something is really wrong and you should consult your doctor. My hope is that new parents can be put at ease by learning about what is normal to expect from their little one!

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "What if we stopped sacrificing ourselves to practice medicine?" She explores the pervasive culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice within the medical field that often leads to physician burnout and a deep yearning for greater peace and purpose. Jessie shares her insights from coaching hundreds of physicians, emphasizing that the issue is not a lack of resilience but a system that discourages well-being. The conversation covers her "7 Cs of transformative change"—Courage, Creativity, Calm, Compassion, Capacity, Commitment, and Community—as a framework for physicians to reimagine their careers and lives. Jessie also recounts her personal journey from feeling depleted to creating impactful wellness initiatives, including retreats and coaching, to help fellow physicians reclaim joy, meaning, and alignment. The key takeaway is: Physicians deserve to prioritize their own well-being, and by embracing self-compassion and intentional change, they can move from a state of sacrifice to one of sustainable purpose and fulfillment, ultimately benefiting both themselves and their patients.

This week we move into the arena of preventive cardiology when we review a recent report from the team at Northwestern and Princeton on the impact of early childhood food insecurity on cardiovascular health of people in young adulthood. How does food insecurity in young childhood impact the cardiac health of adults? Why is most of the impact seen on BMI but not other measures of cardiovascular health. How can food programs that support improved food and nutrition security work to improve long term cardiovascular health of children and adults? Do the benefits of such programs outweight their costs? Dr. Nilay Shah of Northwestern University shares his deep insights into his work and these questions this week.DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2025.1062

In this episode of Providing Pediatrics, host Charles Woolley welcomes Dr. Erica Liebelt, a nationally recognized expert in pediatric emergency medicine and toxicology. Together, they explore the critical issue of pediatric poisoning in our evolving world.

Pediatrician and holistic wellness expert Noemi Adame discusses her article, "Having a female doctor is better for your health, but not for hers." She highlights research indicating patients often experience better outcomes—including lower mortality, readmission, and post-surgical complication rates—when treated by female physicians, potentially linked to factors like longer visits and stronger adherence to guidelines. However, Noemi contrasts this with the significant personal toll on female doctors, who face higher burnout rates, a greater burden of uncompensated tasks like EMR messages (receiving 25 percent more requests), and a concerning lack of the longevity advantage seen in the general female population. She critiques the corporate medical system for failing to adequately support or compensate female physicians for the qualitative differences in their care delivery and the associated emotional labor. Noemi strongly advises female colleagues to protect their own well-being by considering alternatives to corporate employment, such as Direct Primary Care (DPC), independent contracting, or building a personal brand, while also acknowledging the unique challenges women face in setting boundaries within these models. Actionable takeaways emphasize the critical need for female physicians to prioritize self-care, implement sustainable practice systems, and advocate for themselves, whether inside or outside traditional employment structures.

Dr. Michael Artigues is president of the American College of Pediatricians. Dr. Artigues received his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University in 1988 and medical degree from the University of Mississippi Medical School in 1992 where he also completed his pediatric residency in 1995. He practices general pediatrics in McComb, Mississippi. He has served as a board member and president of the local crisis pregnancy and child advocacy centers and has been a member of the American College of Pediatricians Board since 2014.Children across America have been identifying as transgender in what some have called, "epidemic proportions." In fact, it's almost become a status symbol to be viewed as transgender. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a ground-breaking report which confirms the lack of evidence supporting both the safety and efficacy of transgender interventions both in children and adolescents. This goes against the mantra that's been coming out from many public school systems, as well as the practices of Planned Parenthood and what we've been seeing from Hollywood. This is a many faceted issue that involves aspects such as gender dysphoria, gender affirming care, preferred pronouns, puberty blockers, emotional instability, the suicide factor and more. Review this broadcast and you'll hear these things discussed while listeners called with their opinions both pro and con.

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "Why physicians find negotiating challenging—and what they can do to negotiate better." She explores why negotiation often feels stressful for physicians, linking it to medical training that emphasizes service, self-sacrifice, and conflict avoidance over self-advocacy, particularly impacting women. Drawing from her own experiences and coaching work, Jessie shares eleven actionable strategies designed to help physicians negotiate more effectively and mindfully. These tips include using breathwork to stay calm, clearly asking for what you want, conducting thorough research, understanding your value and bottom line (including the willingness to walk away), framing requests as mutual solutions, leveraging patience and silence, managing emotions like resentment, and celebrating successful outcomes without guilt. The conversation reframes negotiation not just as a business necessity but as a vital skill for physician well-being, energy protection, and building a sustainable career.

This week we take a trip back in time to reminisce about what it was like to be a fellow under famed pediatric cardiology pioneer Dr. Alexander S. Nadas. Who better to tell us about what life was like under this giant than 4 present-day giants who lived through it and got their start working for Professor Nadas. Joining the podcast in a live recording from the Boston Children's Cardiology 75th Anniversary Alumni Reunion on May 3rd are Dr. Roberta Williams, Dr. John Barry Keane, Dr. Patricia Rompf and Dr. Thomas Hougen. All have many stories to tell and they share their remembrances and insights in this special episode honoring the memory of the founder of the cardiac program at Boston Children's Hospital - Dr. Nadas. 

We've lost track of how many times we get asked when to move on from pediatric care. Some people ask because of personality – usually a clash between parents and doctors – but mostly they ask because they know there's a time for kids to move on to adult practitioners, they just don't understand when. In this episode we share details around how pediatric care is different from adult care, why people might stay with their pediatrician a little longer than anticipated, the list of clear reasons why you really should move on, and much more.

This week we delve into the world of exercise physiology when we review a recent paper by Dr. Adam Powell of Cincinnati Children's Hospital on the relationship of hand grip strenth to other measures of cardiovascular and skeletal muscular health and fitness. How does hand grip strength correlate with CPET measures of exercise abilities in children? How might this inexpensive test help identify patients who might benefit from exercise therapy? Will hand grip strength one day be as ubiquitous as blood pressure in the evaluation of our CHD patients? Dr. Powell shares the answers this week.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpedcp.2025.200144

     Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes back Attorney Christine Miller. Christine was last on Season 5, Episodes 121 and 133. Today we discussed the massive coverage of the case of Judge Ogden finally recusing herself during a custody dispute when she should have done so earlier in the case when her own divorce attorney was representing the litigant. Christine has covered this case on her TIkTok @kentuckychristine. Susan Bassi picked up this story as well.  This circus needs to stop, as it generating personality disorders upon the children in their lives they are disrupting.     We also talked about Mr. Henry's case as he represents himself Pro Se. He had sole custody of his daughter after Mom's boyfriend shot their daughter and didn't report this until 15 hours later. Judge Ogden handled this case. Now the Mother has custody. This case needs more media attention. Does the media even care about what actually happens in Family Court and what happens to families?? We also discussed Dr. Russell's case and how it should be picked up by Netflix.   There have been several articles written in the Boston Globe regarding Family Court as well as the Denver Gazette.To Reach Attorney Christine Miller: TikTok: @kentuckychristine and email: millertimelouisville@gmail.com and on YouTube: @itsmillertimeLouisville***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

From anxiety and depression to the impact of social media and school stress, we learn about the signs, the science, and the support systems every family should know. She speaks with Kathy Rivera, the CEO and Executive Director of the North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, a not-for-profit children's mental health agency on Long Island that is dedicated to restoring and strengthening the emotional well-being of children from birth through age 24 and their families.

This week we review a recent editorial commentary by Drs. Belinda Gray, Rachel Lampert and Michael Papadakis on the concept of the personalized emergency action plan for the patient with genetic heart disease who is 'returning to play' in vigorous sports. With newer data demonstrating that risk for SCA or SCD is perhaps not as high as was once thought in this setting of sport, can the development of a personalized emergency action plan further enhance safety beyond simple measures such as medical adherence? Who should be involved in drafting this emergency action plan and how does this feature in the concept of 'shared decision-making'? DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.124.072830

This week we review a study assessing the impact of bundle branch block (BBB) on exercise tolerance amongst the single ventricle Fontan patient cohort. Why would this be associated with worse outcomes for exercise? How should the cardiologist use this datum of BBB in a single ventricle patient to inform clinical decision making in this patient group? Why is cardiac resynchronization therapy so challenging in this patient group? Dr. Omar Meziab of The University of Arizona shares his deep insights this week. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00246-024-03500-1

In this episode, we discuss Autism and Education. We explore some current condition within education and some personal experiences. Specifically, the school day is in complete conflict with Autism- both Criteria A and B. This is the primary factor with the challenges of Autism in Education. The classroom requires a Social Dynamic, a Speech and Language Dynamic, and Sensory-Processing Dynamic, which is 3 strikes against Autism. In addition, the subject switching throughout the school day complicates our path of learning- Our learning style prefers spending extended times on a single subject. Autism gives us the ability to be comfortable within ourselves and this accelerates our learning, our Superpowers. School and the world mostly requires the social communication and interaction.

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "How to get physician wellness programs funded: a proven path forward." Drawing on nearly two decades of experience navigating institutional hurdles and five years designing wellness programs, she provides a practical roadmap for securing funding. Jessie asserts that funding is possible, countering common skepticism by highlighting diverse funding sources like philanthropy grants, departmental funds, leadership development budgets, and CME dollars. Key strategies include: starting with the belief that funding is attainable, advocating effectively by personally experiencing and embodying the benefits of wellness, engaging leadership by having them participate directly in programs, thinking creatively about funding streams beyond wellness committees, prioritizing high-impact programs led by credible experts over ineffective ones, and considering cost-sharing models. Jessie emphasizes that institutions will fund experiential, connection-focused, and implementable programs that demonstrate tangible change and have leadership support.

This week we review a recent work from the team at Seattle Children's Hospital about obstetrical sonography and referral of fetuses with 'suboptimal imaging' for fetal echocardiography. Should all 'suboptimal imaging' cases be referred? How can fetal cardiologists parse out who needs a fetal cardiac scan and when? How does the fetal team in Seattle practically serve a geographic region exceeding 2,000 miles and properly triage the referrals, particularly when 'suboptimal imaging' is the rationale for referral? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Washington, Dr. Bhawna Arya provides deep insights into her recent work on how to think about fetuses referred for 'suboptimal imaging' as a rationale for fetal consultation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00246-024-03495-9

This week we review a recent PHTS study on long-term outcomes following heart transplantation. Why do patients develop coronary vasculopathy and how commonly is it seen at long term follow-up? What factors are associated with better or worse long term outcomes? How do 'adverse childhood experiences' result in worse outcomes for patients? Why do young transplant patients have better long-term outcomes and can this be leveraged to improve older patient outcomes? We speak with the first author of this week's work, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Ohio State and also from Nationwide Children's Hospital, Dr. Emily Hayes. DOI: 10.1111/petr.70042
