Join Ray Solano and Dr. Tyler Hartmann, PharmD, on Healthy Choices, Dr. Talks to uncover how “metabolic chaos” disrupts health—and how functional medicine restores balance for lasting results. ---- In this week's episode of Healthy Choices, Dr. Talks, I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Tyler Hartmann, PharmD, about what he calls “metabolic chaos.” If you've been chasing symptoms without answers, this conversation is for you. We dive into how the body's systems are connected, why dysfunction doesn't come from just one cause, and how Dr. Hartmann's three-pillar approach—lab testing, individualized protocols, and one-on-one support—helps patients finally get results. He also shares case studies that show how identifying the real culprits (like parasites, stress, or toxicity) can change everything. Most importantly, you'll hear why quick fixes like weight-loss drugs often fall short, and how sustainable wellness comes from living the DRESS framework: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, and Supplementation. ---- Dr. Tyler Hartmann, PharmD, is a pharmacist and the CEO of OptiHealth Diagnostics, a nationwide virtual practice.

Alexander, PharmD, BCCCP, and Ankit Sakhuja, MD, MS, FCCM, from SCCM's Leadership, Empowerment, and Development (LEAD) Program, to discuss the use of AI in critical care education and clinical practice. Dr. Alexander is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Pharmacy Education and Practice at University of Florida. Dr. Sakhuja is the director of artificial intelligence and informatics at the Institute for Critical Care Medicine and director of clinical informatics research in the Division of Data-Driven and Digital Medicine. The discussion highlights how critical care educators and clinicians benefit from learning how to use AI and understanding its benefits and limitations. Incorporating AI into critical care education teaches students how to use AI responsibly in school and later in clinical practice. Clinicians should understand the utility of different AI models for patient care and be well versed in the ethical and legal treatment of patient data. Drs. Alexander and Sakhuja provide examples of practical uses for AI in critical care. AI can help students test their knowledge with interactive case simulations paired with discussion with instructors and peers. AI can analyze vast amounts of patient data, supporting clinical decision-making. The guests encourage clinicians and educators in critical care to engage with AI and contribute to its responsible use. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the uses of AI.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org Highlights From This Episode “It was 2014 that most of us think of as the beginning of bispecifics in cancer, and that was with approval of blinatumomab. That was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome–negative relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is a bispecific that targets CD19-expressing tumor cells and CD3 on T cells. It's the original bispecific T-cell engager and is often called a ‘BiTE.'” TS 2:11 “The term ‘bispecific' means that this is an artificial protein that's developed to hit two different antigens simultaneously. They can be two different epitopes on the same antigen. They can be an antigen on a cancer cell and CD3 on a T cell that kind of recruits the T cell to the cancer. So, there are different types [of bispecific antibodies]. The subtype that we often talk about are bispecific T-cell engagers, which are those bispecifics that do target the T cell. And currently, the target on the T cell that's utilized is the CD3 molecule. That's not the only one that will be used in the future because there's a lot of work being done on other types of T-cell engagers.” TS 4:21 “The targets for lymphoma are CD20. Those are bispecific T-cell engagers that hit CD20 on the lymphoma cell, as well as CD3 on a T cell. ... In myeloma, we have two different targets that have been utilized. One is BCMA or B-cell maturation antigen. That sits on the surface of myeloma cells and on some healthy B cells. ... There's also a target used in myeloma that's called GPRC5D, which stands for G protein–coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D. ... In small cell lung cancer, there's delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3); it's part of the NOTCH pathway. ... And then this year, we've had a couple agents come out that target HER2.” TS 6:52 “[Toxicities] are very dependent on what your target is. ... The bispecific T-cell engager that's used in myeloma that targets the GPRC5D is also expressed on tissues that produce hard keratin like hair follicles and actually, within the tongue. So the toxicities that we see with that agent are something you wouldn't expect to see if you were using a myeloma agent. You see nail and skin issues. You see taste problems. So it's very specific about the target, which says to me, that every time a new one of these agents comes out, I have to learn about the target that helps me learn about the toxicity. I find that fascinating and really appreciate that.” TS 16:19 “Cytokine release syndrome has been one of the areas that drug development has really focused on to see how they can help mitigate the severity [of it]. ... [One of] the strategies that has been incorporated and studied in clinical trials is the step-up dosing scheme. [It's] where you give initial small doses and over time, increase the dose to the dose you're going to continue with. Usually, monitoring in the hospital is required by the FDA approval for anywhere from 28–48 hours for the first couple of doses. And that's a real common strategy that you'll see. Premedication with H2 blockers, H1 blockers, sometimes steroids. These are also things that are incorporated within the approvals of these drugs and are important to look at.” TS 20:53

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Marilyn N. Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, welcomes Bram Tilburgs, RN, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, Netherlands. They discuss Dr. Tilburgs' article, “Associations Between Physical, Cognitive, and Mental Health Domains of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome and Quality of Life: A Longitudinal Multicenter Cohort Study,” published in the January 2025 issue of Critical Care Medicine. The conversation offers key insights into the prevalence and long-term effects of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Dr. Tilburgs' study surveyed intensive care unit (ICU) patients on their quality of life three months, twelve months, and two years after ICU discharge. The survey included physical, cognitive, and mental health domains. The findings show a significant link between PICS and diminished long-term quality of life. Drs. Bulloch and Tilburgs discuss how these results highlight the need for PICS prevention across all three domains. They review potential strategies, such as diaries to help patients better understand their ICU experience. Dr. Tilburgs also highlights the benefits of his institution's discussion group for ICU survivors. Listeners will gain key insights on the long-term effects of PICS, actionable ideas for improving ICU patient care, and ideas for future research.

Can a decades-old drug unlock new possibilities for longevity? Rapamycin, originally discovered in the 1970s on Easter Island, was once used solely as an anti-rejection medication for organ transplants. Today, at much lower and less frequent doses, it is being studied and repurposed for its potential to extend health span, reduce inflammation, and support overall vitality. In this episode, Bryana Gregory, pharmacist and physician liaison, breaks down the history of rapamycin, the design and findings of the 2024 Pearl Study, and why proper compounding matters for bioavailability and effectiveness. She also explains how this drug works on the mTOR pathway, helping improve cellular function, brain clarity, skin health, and even bone density and lean muscle mass in some patients.
