Podcasts about pediatricians

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why physician wellness programs must evolve beyond institutions." Jessie reflects on her seventeen years leading in-house wellness initiatives and argues that while institutional programs provide legitimacy, they are ultimately insufficient for deep healing. She explains that true recovery requires stepping away from the very environments that cause distress to find spaces free from agendas and evaluation. The conversation highlights the unique power of independent, physician-led programs that prioritize mindfulness, somatic healing, and connection with nature. Jessie contends that physicians cannot transform the health care system if they are barely surviving within it, making external wellness spaces not a luxury, but a foundational necessity for sustaining the profession.

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

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-12-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses Michael Pollan's critique of MAHA dietary recommendations, agreeing that ultra-processed foods should be avoided but noting the lack of science supporting high saturated fat intake. She acknowledges extra virgin coconut oil as an exception that doesn't raise LDL, and pushes back on the social Darwinism embedded in anti-vaccine, anti-welfare MAHA thinking. Dr. Dawn expresses serious concern about Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician who dropped out of residency to become a wellness influencer. She objects to Means hawking supplements and glucose monitors for personal profit—conduct she considers unethical for a physician giving medical advice. An emailer from Switzerland shares success managing histamine intolerance by avoiding aged meats, shellfish, fermented foods, and cross-reactive pollens during hay fever season. The game-changer was taking DAO (diamine oxidase) supplements before meals to break down histamine in the gut. Researchers found that blood from pediatricians who worked in children's hospitals for over a decade contains powerful antibodies against RSV—up to 25% more effective than existing treatments—built up through years of constant exposure. Dr. Dawn critiques a study finding 2.5 times more microplastics in prostate tumor tissue than surrounding healthy tissue, noting that fast-growing cancers develop extra blood vessels and would naturally incorporate more circulating plastics. She attributes the 6% rise in late-stage prostate cancer to discontinued PSA screening rather than microplastics. An emailer asks what to do about microplastics already in our bodies. Dr. Dawn says there's no way to remove them, and advises avoiding microwaving in plastic, limiting breaded processed foods, and rinsing well after brushing teeth with plastic bristles. AI analysis of mammograms can now detect breast artery calcification as a marker for cardiovascular disease risk, with severe calcification indicating 3.3 times greater risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. This could identify high-risk women years before cardiac events. Dr. Dawn questions a non-peer-reviewed study presented at an orthopedic meeting found five years of GLP-1 drug use associated with 30% higher osteoporosis risk, 150% higher osteomalacia risk, and increased tendon ruptures—likely from reduced food intake and vitamin D consumption. Twin studies now estimate genetics account for 55% of lifespan variation when separating internal biological causes from external factors. Separately, fathers who showed warmth and responsiveness to 10-month-old babies had children with lower inflammation and better blood sugar regulation at age 7—an effect not seen with mothers' parenting. Grandparents actively involved in childcare showed slower cognitive decline than non-caregiving grandparents. Dancing emerged as the standout physical activity for dementia prevention—combining aerobic exercise, social interaction, music, and motor coordination—with three hours weekly showing observable benefits.

Body image has become one of the most complex parts of the teenage experience, often shaped by a mix of online aesthetics and the constant feedback loop of social media. Supplements, workout routines, and influencer-driven wellness advice are everywhere, making it harder than ever for young people to know what's safe, what's hype, and what truly supports their health. On this episode of the Healthier You podcast, Dr. Ashlee Williams speaks with Dr. Mutsa Nyakabau, a board-certified pediatrician, about how online content shapes the expectations teens place on themselves and how we can help young people build a healthier relationship with their bodies, find balance in a high-pressure environment, and make informed decisions about fitness and nutrition.  Learn more about Mutsa Nyakabau, MD

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Disruptive physician labeling: a symptom of systemic burnout." Jessie argues that the rising number of "disruptive" labels slapped on highly skilled doctors is not a failure of character but a predictable response to a broken health care system. She explains how burnout and moral injury deplete emotional reserves, leading to reactivity that institutions punish rather than heal. The conversation advocates for replacing punitive measures with evidence-based coaching to restore physician well-being, improve retention, and ensure patient safety.

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.

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Milobsky, a pediatrician and dad of seven—and the first dad ever on this podcast. He brings a calm, grounded, no-nonsense perspective on raising healthy kids in a world obsessed with panic, perfection, and parenting trends.We talk about modern parenting approaches, picky eaters and toddler meltdowns, screen time and sleep training, overused medications, the real differences between boys and girls and why you can't parent them the same way—along with vaccines, over-diagnosis, circumcision, and how social media has quietly made parenting harder than ever.This is real-life parenting with no sugarcoating—just honesty, perspective, and a lot of “oh wow, same.” We promise you'll leave this episode feeling so validated.Instagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples MediaInstagram: @wearemorethanmomsPatreon: More Than Moms Guides & Resources Join our IRL LA communitySubscribe to our NewsletterProduced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

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? How can practitioners be taught these approaches and how does this 'triple gift' not only improve patient care but also professional interactions? Can this be taught? If so, what are the best ways? Professor Colin McMahon of Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin shares his deep insights into this important and oft-neglected aspect of being a caregiver. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-026-04161-yFollowing today's interview we also briefly speak with Professor Jack Rychik of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia about the upcoming CHOP 2026 meeting entitled "Cardiology 2026 - Together!". For those interested in possibly attending this meeting which begins on 2.28.26, take a look at the website below for more information:https://www.chop.edu/events/cardiology-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.   Join our newly-launched Patreon community for ad-free episodes and early access, plus deeper conversations with our guests.

Board-certified pediatrician, certified coach, and mindfulness and yoga teacher Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Pediatrician vs. grandmother: Choosing love over medical advice." Jessie explores the internal conflict she faced between her medical training and her role as a grandmother when her twin granddaughters were born at home. She examines how the physician's impulse to offer risk assessments and warnings can often feel like rejection to loved ones who simply want support. The conversation highlights the transformative power of asking "What would love do?" to navigate complex family dynamics without alienating those we care about most. Jessie shares insights on how to replace the need for control with the gift of presence and trust. Learn how to let go of the need to be right to preserve the relationships that matter most.

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

From there, the boys sprint through culture and campus—high-school rivalries, university choices, and school counselors who reroute destinies. Film heads get a quick review of One Battle After Another with character talk, plot notes, and what great performances teach us about representation.Pop culture and politics collide as Kanye's latest apology sparks a bigger conversation on mental health, sincerity, platform responsibility, and why celebrity influence warps public discourse. The guys weave through moon-landing skeptics, messy headlines, and “fascists are winning” anxieties, all while keeping it funny, curious, and deeply human.It's culture, film, sports, education, fashion, hair, Kanye, and current events—sharp takes with Submaroach mischief. 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.

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? 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. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the meeting at Yalta following World War 2 and why the “spheres of influence” world order prioritizes short-term stability over long-term legitimacy.

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:

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? Given the low prevalence but dire consequences of this disease, how can investigators consider studying this topic in the future? Is there adequate equipoise to proceed with a randomized controlled trial? We speak with Advanced Imaging Fellow at Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Francesca Sperotto of Harvard University about her recent multicenter meta-analysis of 30 studies including over one million cases of endocarditis. DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2024.0873

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? In this episode, we sit down with an expert whose research has focused on building resilience against obesity starting early in life. From family dynamics to school and community initiatives, the picture of prevention is complex.  Shari Barkin, MD, is the Pediatrician in Chief at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. She is also the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, Executive Director of the Pediatric Institute, and the George W. Brumley Jr. Endowed Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: How to influence eating behaviors in the first six months of life  The role of community involvement and partnerships in preventing childhood obesity  Translating research into practical strategies  Strong communication methods to engage families successfully  This episode is underwritten by Ovintiv, a proud philanthropic supporter of Charting Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation. Ovintiv recognizes that their responsibility begins in the communities where they live and work. They are committed to giving back and building safer and more resilient communities. Ovintiv's generous support has made a monumental difference for our patients and families, from enhancing health outcomes to reducing health disparities.  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

This week we review a recent large scale PHIS database study on pericardial effusion following congenital heart surgery. Which operations other than ASD are most highly associated with the development of an effusion? What might be some approaches both surgically and medically to reduce the chances of these developing or requiring intervention? What are the implications of a pericardial effusion after surgery? How many require readmission for this complication? Dr. Mario O'Connor, who is a congenital heart surgical research fellow at UT Austin, shares his insights into his recent publication. DOI: 10.1177/21501351251322876

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.
