Episode Description:Your lab work is not your health. Your biography is. Dr. Lucy McBride is a Harvard-trained internal medicine physician with 25 years of clinical practice and the author of Beyond the Prescription, published with Simon and Schuster in August 2026 with a foreword by Mary Claire Haver. She practices medicine the way almost no one does anymore: by treating the whole person, not the panel. This conversation moves through childhood trauma and metabolic disease, weight loss and GLP-1s, SSRIs and the one thing no pill will ever fix. It is one of the most honest conversations about what health actually is that Heal Thy Self has ever had. Dr. Lucy McBride's health takes: Take 1: "The lab work you get done with your doctor rarely shows the most interesting aspects of your health" Dr. McBride makes the case that biographic data is clinical data. Growing up in poverty, in a chaotic household, with an alcoholic parent — none of that appears on a blood panel, and all of it directly shapes how a patient thinks, eats, drinks, relates, and heals. Take 2: "The body is the scorekeeper" Chronic nervous system dysregulation does not stay in the nervous system. Dr. McBride explains how unprocessed emotional stress shows up as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and autoimmunity, and why prescribing a pill without asking the deeper question is solving the wrong problem entirely. Take 3: "Sometimes you don't need a GLP-1. Sometimes you just need to eat lunch" One of the most counterintuitive takes of the episode. Dr. McBride explains why chronic low-grade restriction sends the metabolism into survival mode, why stubborn weight that will not move is sometimes the body's response to not being fed enough, and why the first question to ask is about your relationship with food — not your caloric intake. Take 4: "Sometimes you don't need Prozac. You need a divorce" Dr. McBride closes with her most powerful take. SSRIs are not the problem — the system that prescribes them in five-minute appointments is. She makes the case that no amount of pharmacology can resolve the social and emotional toll of living in chronic fear or unhappiness, and that agency is the medicine no pill can replicate. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why abnormal metabolic markers are often downstream symptoms of chronic nervous system dysregulation, and why understanding a patient's emotional and social context changes the entire treatment picture  • Why the metabolism responds to restriction the same way it responds to famine, what that means for stubborn weight that will not move, and why your relationship with food is sometimes the most complicated relationship you have  • Why SSRIs are overprescribed not because they are bad but because the system does not have time to ask better questions, and what the actual work of mental health requires that no supplement or medication can substitute for Health is not about having all the answers. It is about asking better questions.

"No data, no agent. Bad data, bad agent. Good data, good agent." Cris Mendes thinks data readiness is the number one reason the agentic enterprise fails, and he has the receipts — he ran the experiment on his own team before he sold it to anyone else.He's VP of Revenue at Momentum.io, acquired by Salesforce in large part because of the go-to-market motion he built there. Before that: Drift, Airtable, and LogMeIn. Before all of it, U.S. Navy search and rescue swimmer. I've known him almost twenty years and introduced him to LogMeIn myself, so take the enthusiasm here with whatever salt you need.His argument is that everyone is buying agents on top of a data layer that was never built. The average customer conversation moves about eight thousand words; maybe eight of them make it into the CRM. Companies don't have a first-party data layer, they have a human-input data layer — and that's what every agentic project quietly runs aground on.The story worth the listen: Momentum had a brutal drop-off after the first call. Rather than sampling a few calls and guessing at messaging or ICP, Cris pushed 800 first calls through deep research and got one answer back — the reps weren't prescribing a next step. So he had Momentum listen to the last ten minutes of every call and fire a clip into Slack whenever an AE either didn't prescribe or tried and missed. With humor, so it didn't read as surveillance. Prescription went through the roof. As he puts it: a team respects what you inspect, but you can't inspect everything — unless the inspecting is automated.WHAT WE COVER- Selling shovels in a gold rush, and why structured data was the bet- Why "not everything called an agent is an agent" — deciding vs. automating- The last ten minutes of a sales call as sacred ground, and how to enforce that at scale- Bringing AI into QBRs: "it got so real so fast" — no more recency bias and self-preservation dressed up as a forecast- 10x growth six quarters running, zero attrition, 95% of the team over quota — and why he credits hiring over product- Whether AI cuts headcount: expands capacity, thins middle management, and the ~10% of companies that are actually AI-forward are hiring hardest- Auto-advancing pipeline stages on deal milestones instead of trusting a rep's guess — "otherwise you're just buying something like Clari to miss your forecast very expensively"- His IDEC hiring model, and why he'd trade relevant experience for intrinsics every timeCONNECT WITH CRISLinkedIn: Cris Mendes — Cris with no H, Mendes with an SMomentum.io---The GOATS of Growth has two Founding Sponsor slots open — category exclusive, $1,250/mo, in front of GTM leaders and founders who don't answer their phones.

Pastor Andy Cass Are you a person of peace? We all want peace, but wanting peace and becoming a peaceful person are two different things. TEXT: Philippians 4:7, Galatians 5:22–23, Acts 7:54–60, Daniel 3:16–25, Hebrews 13:5, Luke 10:3–9, Matthew 5:38–45 NOTES: Pitstop #1 — The Peace of God // Peace is fruit. It isn't something we manufacture or earn. It's something the Holy Spirit produces within us. Pitstop #2 — Peace That Transcends Understanding // God's peace isn't limited to peaceful circumstances. Peace in prison. Peace in suffering. Peace in the fire. Peace in everyday pressure. Pitstop #3 — Peace Will Guard You // Where there is fruit, there is a tree. If you want peace, plant yourself where peace grows and stay there long enough for God to form you into a person of peace. THE PROBLEM- We all want peace, but we have not adopted the practices of a peaceful person. THE PLAN- Peace is a community garden project. PLANT yourself around people of peace. PRUNE what God reveals needs to change. PRODUCE + PROTECT what God is growing in you. BIG IDEA- Be grafted TODAY where you want to PRODUCE TOMORROW. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).

Brandon Spangler did five years in the Marine Corps. He broke his neck, crushed his lower back, and walked out with a VA prescription that turned into eight years of addiction. The last stretch was heroin. He got sober in 2013, started college from zero, and is now a licensed clinical social worker with his own practice for cops and veterans in northwest Montana. Travis Gribble spent 24 years in law enforcement, 16 on SWAT, and retired out of Mesa PD in 2022. He now works for the Boulder Crest Foundation. He walks through the jump from pharmacy to street, detoxing cold turkey three times, and a month and a half living out of a truck in the Blue Mountains waiting on a bed. The second half is the system. Why cops are carrying moral injury more than post-traumatic stress. Why a diagnosis turns into a cage. What five days of training did that years of therapy did not, the 400 to 600 traumatic calls a cop absorbs over a career, why the average officer dies seven years after retiring, and the retainer model that put a therapist inside a sheriff's office.

Pastor Andy Cass Worry has a way of taking your mind somewhere God never asked you to live. It pulls tomorrow's trouble into today and leaves your body present while your mind is somewhere else. TEXT: Philippians 4:6, Acts 16:16–30, Matthew 6:25–34, 1 Peter 5:5–7 NOTES: The Problem- Worry has a way of taking your mind where God never asked you to live. Question- Is your pain driving you to prayer? The Problem With Worry * Worry is a horrible predictor of the future. * Worry manipulates you to believe you are not secure, safe, or loved. * Worry will never feed you. * Worry will never clothe you. * Worry will never add value. Three Big Areas of Worry * Provision — Will I have enough? * Physical Condition — Will I be okay? * Perception — What will people think of me? Thanksgiving Changes Us * Recognize what is already blessed. * Redirect your attention. * Rest in the goodness of God. * Reframe your outlook. Closing Practice Name your worry. Write it down. Cast it on the Lord. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or another mental illness? Millions of people do. The usual treatment is a prescription medication. If that doesn't work, the healthcare provider may offer a different one. Diet is certainly not the first topic on the provider's mind. But what if, in addition to appropriate pharmacological treatment, you were able to nourish, protect and energize your brain with your diet? Our guest offers evidence that you can heal your mind with a ketogenic approach to eating. We need to acknowledge that this approach is quite different from the plant-rich eating pattern advocated by last week's guest, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. Humans around the world have adopted a wide range of dietary regimens that support health. Listen to Dr. Georgia Ede explain why she thinks a paleo or ketogenic diet is helpful for bolstering brain health. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up to date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems. While these conversations intend to offer insight and perspective, the content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medical care or treatment.

Can You Heal Your Brain with Food? We live in stressful times. More than 50 million Americans take prescription antidepressants, and millions more are on anti-anxiety medication. Unfortunately, while these drugs can be life savers, they don't always work as well as we would like. In some cases, antidepressants are only about 10 percent more effective than a placebo. Dr. Georgia Ede is a psychiatrist who began her investigation into how food affects mental health serendipitously. She was experimenting with her own diet to address some physical health issues. She used a food and symptom journal to discover the best dietary choices for her own health. To her surprise, the “upside-down” diet that helped her feel better physically also improved her sleep and her ability to focus. She started looking into evidence that a paleo or ketogenic diet could benefit people with mental health challenges. What Is Metabolic Psychiatry? There is evidence that people consuming unhealthy diets full of fast food or ultra-processed products are more susceptible to symptoms of anxiety (Nutrition Neuroscience, May 19, 2026). On the other hand, people participating in a supervised weight-loss program using either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a low-fat diet reported improvements in mood (Obesity, Jan. 2007). Those on the ketogenic (Atkins) diet reported less hunger and fewer unpleasant symptoms. Researchers have also tested a ketogenic diet in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (Psychiatry Research, May 2024).  These volunteers also had metabolic disorders, including obesity, which is often an unwanted effect of the ant-psychotic drugs they take to treat their condition. This four-month pilot study saw participants lose weight, reduce insulin resistance and lower their triglycerides. Even more impressive, they had a 32 percent reduction in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. They also reported better sleep and improved life satisfaction. You may find this recent article from National Geographic of interest: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/health/article/metabolic-psychiatry-keto-diet-brain-science. Unfortunately, it might be behind a paywall. How Does Food Affect Our Brains? Most of our body tissues are accustomed to getting energy from glucose, with the help of insulin. However, years of exposure to high levels of these compounds often makes the tissues less sensitive to the effects of insulin. The consequence is that the body–and therefore also the brain–is flooded with high levels of glucose. This exposure can result in the formation of advanced glycation end products in the brain, which can be harmful. The brain evolved to use either glucose or a flexible mix of glucose and ketones. These are the result of burning fat rather than sugar. A paleo diet will naturally provide more ketones and less glucose. Dr. Ede and colleagues have found that a ketogenic diet can be very helpful even for people with relatively serious mental problems. In one study (which was not placebo-controlled), patients hospitalized with severe persistent mental illness were given a ketogenic diet. Most did well and had significant improvements in their depression and psychosis symptoms (Frontiers in Psychiatry, July 6, 2022). Is Ketosis Dangerous? Ketosis itself simply means that you are burning fat as fuel rather than sugar. This can be achieved by following a diet that is high in animal fat, with moderate amounts of animal protein and low amounts of carbohydrate derived from plant foods. Ketosis is not inherently dangerous. However, Dr. Ede urges anyone who wants to heal their brain with diet to ask a healthcare provider to monitor and supervise the process. Prescription drug doses may require adjustment, and people may need support as they adopt a paleo or ketogenic diet. That is why this is not a do-it-yourself approach. Is Coconut Oil Helpful to Heal Your Brain? Dr. Ede described the benefits of medium-chain fatty acids produced in digesting fat. You may recall a video from a few years back in which a doctor described helping her husband recover from Alzheimer disease, at least partially, by giving him coconut oil. Some researchers consider Alzheimer disease to be a form of diabetes because the AD brain does not metabolize sugar effectively. Dr. Ede suggested that the benefits may be real, but getting medium-chain fatty acids from the diet rather than be taking coconut oil might be preferable. After Dr. Ede told us about Fran, who overcame significant memory problems by changing to a ketogenic diet, we hope there will be trials on this. Future Trials on Diet to Heal Your Brain Dietary trials are notoriously difficult to conduct. People often don't stick to the prescribed diet, and it can be difficult to find an appropriate placebo for comparison. Nonetheless, Dr. Ede is looking forward to results from a large trial of the keto diet for people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This study is being conducted in Australia. This Week’s Guest Dr. Georgia Ede is a globally recognized expert in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. Her 25+ years of clinical experience include 7 years at Harvard University, where she was the first psychiatrist to offer nutrition-based approaches to mental health conditions. Dr. Ede co-authored the first inpatient study of the ketogenic diet for serious mental illness, developed the first medically accredited course in ketogenic diets for mental health, and is a recipient of the Baszucki Metabolic Mind Award. Current research collaborations include pilot studies in pediatric bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, and PTSD. Her internationally bestselling book Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health is being translated into 11 languages and is recommended by the New York Times Book Review.

We talk a lot on this show about root causes...what you eat, what you're exposed to, what you're healing inside of. This episode is about the one almost nobody checks: the air in your own home. Ariana Thacker is a chemical engineer and venture capitalist who, by her own description, was a highly functional human — daily boot camp, dialed-in diet, running a VC firm solo. Within months of moving into a new apartment, she was rereading simple emails just to process them, losing clumps of hair, and getting winded on the stairs. She saw more than a dozen providers — immunologists, allergists, pulmonologists, neurologists, PCPs — and none of them ran the right test. Most didn't believe mold could cause a whole-body inflammatory response at all. It took a Shoemaker-certified physician to name it: CIRS, chronic inflammatory response syndrome. She had one of the "dreaded" HLA haplotypes — part of the roughly 24% of the U.S. population that can't clear biotoxins on its own. She got better. Then she built the road she'd just clawed her way down. Ariana is the founder and CEO of MoldCo, a virtual clinic that answers three questions: Am I being exposed? Is mold making me sick? How do I get better? — with a $199 home test and a lab panel that starts at $56, roughly a tenth the cost of what most people pay to guess. Jen shares her own story too: a mold inspection that came back clean, and the leak found years later behind the living room wall by the family who bought the house. In this episode Why "highly functional" doesn't protect you — and how fast the symptoms started The 24% with a genetic susceptibility to mold, and what HLA haplotypes actually mean What CIRS is, and why ~80% of cases trace back to a water-damaged building Why the urinary mycotoxin test may be sending people down the wrong path — and the inflammatory markers (MMP9, MSH, TGF beta-1, C4A) that matter more How to hire a mold inspector who's actually qualified — the certifications to ask for and the 70-page report you should expect Why mold grows within 24–48 hours of water intrusion, and why new builds can be worse, not better The "canary effect": why one person in a house gets sick and nobody else does Prescription binders vs. natural binders — and why the natural route can take ten times longer Do air purifiers actually help? Moldy coffee and protein powder: is ingested mold the real threat, or is it what you're breathing? The environmental red flags to walk your own house for this week If you take one action Look up Shoemaker biotoxin symptom clusters (S-H-O-E-M-A-K-E-R). If a lot of those boxes light up for you — you only need one symptom per box to count — that's a strong signal to investigate your environment. Then walk your home for: that earthy, musty odor (especially in a basement), visible mold, peeling or cracking paint, warped flooring, dust on your HVAC vents, and indoor humidity consistently above 60%.

Direct Primary Care no longer disqualifies patients from HSA eligibility. As of January 1, 2026, DPC membership fees are a qualified HSA expense at or below $150 per month for one person and $300 for a family. Above $150 you are not in violation. You are in the same gray zone DPC lived in for a decade, and the tax position belongs to the patient and their accountant, not to you.Dr. Phil Eskew (DO, JD, MBA) of DPC Frontier joins Dr. Maryal Concepcion to break down what changed and what it means for your practice, then walks through the Medicare opt-out calendar most physicians discover too late.KEY NUMBERS AND DATES $150/month per person, $300 family. Effective January 1, 2026. Opt-outs take effect only on January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1. Affidavit must be filed at least 30 days before the effective date.

Yes, as of January 2026. Both old IRS objections were fixed: whether the fee is a medical expense, and whether membership disqualifies HSA contributions.Should I put "HSA eligible" on my website? No. Write "We accept HSA cards." Promising eligibility in your marketing or agreement takes on a tax position on your patient's behalf.How do I get under $150 without losing revenue? Enrollment fees are not compensation for care. Blood draws, injections, EKGs, and dispensed medications can price separately.What does the rule exclude? Prescription drugs other than vaccines, and lab services not typically done in an ambulatory primary care setting.If I opt out, can I still order labs and referrals? Yes. Opting out is not disenrollment. You stay credentialed and Medicare pays for labs, imaging, referrals, DME, and prescriptions you order.Where can I still work while opted out? VA, Indian Health Service, corrections, and hospice administrative work. Precepting usually requires participation. TRICARE requires Medicare participation.

Pastor Christy Cass What if prayer was never meant to be only crisis management, but daily relationship? In week two of rX: Prayer, we discover how the nearness of Jesus changes the way we carry stress, respond under pressure, and relate to the people around us. Gentleness isn't something we manufacture. It is the visible fruit of a life lived near Jesus. TEXT: Philippians 4:4–9, Philippians 4:5, Matthew 11:29, Galatians 5:22–23 NOTES: The Lord Is Near * Prayer isn't our last resort. It's God's invitation into His presence. * Prayer is how we practice remaining near. * Come to Him in crisis… and don't leave when the crisis is over. * Healthy things stay healthy because they're watered consistently, not because they're rescued occasionally. BIG IDEA- The closer we live to Jesus, the more gentleness people experience from us. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Sermon Outline: Christ's Kingdom Prescription for Anxiety 1. God the Father's Great Care as King 2. God the Father's Kingdom Distinction 3. God's Daily Kingdom Liberation Scripture: Matthew 6 Text: Matthew 6:25-34

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling like you were treated as a diagnosis rather than a person? Where the 15 minutes were up before you could even get to the real question?Dr. Lucy McBride is a primary care physician, co-founder of the Ackerly McBride Group in Washington DC, and author of the new book Beyond the Prescription. For over 25 years she has practiced what she calls evidence-based, relationship-centered medicine, and her weekly Substack newsletter Are You OK? now reaches over 41,000 readers.This is not just a book about the medical system. It is about you. Lucy's argument is that self-awareness is a superpower, and that the most powerful thing you can bring to a doctor's appointment is a clear, honest understanding of your own story, your stressors, your history, and the narratives you tell yourself about what you deserve.We talk about why medicine is very good at treating disease but less good at treating the person who has it. We get into the concept of the clinical gaze, what gets lost when a clinician reduces you to your labs or your organ system, and how communication on both sides of the exam table can transform the patient and doctor relationship. Lucy also walks through the patient personality types she writes about in the book, from the people pleaser to the optimizer to the internet warrior, and why recognizing which one you are is the first step to getting better care.We also have a frank conversation about the parts of this that are hard. Health agency is not equally accessible to everyone. Implicit bias is real. Trust has been broken in many communities for very good reason. And putting the onus on the patient to be more empowered while the system remains broken is genuinely a big ask. Lucy does not shy away from any of that.This is a must listen for patients who feel dismissed and for clinicians who want to do better.What you will learn:Self-awareness is the birthplace of health agency: understanding your story, your stressors, your history, and the narratives you tell yourself about worthiness is the foundation of being a more empowered patient.Doctors want to care for whole people but the system does not give them the time or training to do it; pointing that out kindly rather than coming in adversarially can change the energy in the room.AI is most useful in healthcare as a question generator and vocabulary builder, not as a diagnostician.Trust has been broken in marginalized communities for very good reason; acknowledging that history is part of practicing better medicine.The best prescription a doctor can give is sometimes vocabulary: permission to ask the question you are embarrassed to ask and to not settle for less than someone who sees you as a whole person.The biggest takeaway from this episode is: Trust but verify. Go into a new clinical relationship with openness and the benefit of the doubt rather than assuming the worst. And for clinicians: patients who come in with questions and articles are not trying to undermine you. They are doing the best they can in a system that has not served them. Meet them there.Get in Touch with Dr. McBride:WebsiteSubstackInstagramPodcastGet in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

Vertical integration, loss of competition, and encroachment of cartels.  Sound familiar? What drove our nation to Prohibition, and why and how we emerged from it a hundred years ago, have uncanny resonance today.  In this special summertime episode, Wendy and Matt break down what the lessons of Prohibition can teach us about the business of healthcare.

Today we're thrilled to host David Lortscher, MD, co-founder and board chair of Curology, the personalized prescription skincare company he built out of a telehealth experiment in 2014. Curology has since grown into a business that has served more than 5 million patients. After a decade as CEO, David stepped back into the board chair role in 2022 and has since written Why Doctors Win: The Doctor's Guide to Creating or Joining a High-Impact Startup, based on exclusive interviews with physician founders of ten category-leading healthcare companies. In this conversation, David walks through how he first started the company, raising investor money as a physician, how he built a compounding pharmacy, growing to a 50-state clinician network, and discusses his new book!

Pastor Andy Cass What if there were a biblical prescription for stress and anxiety? In this message, we begin with Paul's surprising instruction from Philippians 4: “Rejoice in the Lord always.” Rejoicing does not deny what you are feeling or facing. It declares what is still true about God in the middle of it. Pressure can push us inward, but prayer and rejoicing redirect us toward God's presence, where peace can replace panic, strength can replace exhaustion, worship can replace worry, and hope can replace despair. TEXT: Philippians 4:4–9, Isaiah 26:3, Luke 18:1–7, Matthew 2:10, Matthew 5:12, Luke 15:5, Luke 15:32, Matthew 28:9, Acts 5:41, Psalm 118:24, Psalm 55:17, Psalm 55:22 NOTES: The Biblical Prescription: Rejoice in the Lord always. Five Reasons to Rejoice Always: 1. Hope Realized 2. Heaven Is Home 3. You're on Mission 4. In the Presence of God 5. In Suffering The Prescription- Pray, stay, and say it out loud: “Jesus, You are my joy.” Three times daily, find reasons to rejoice with the Lord, Morning, Noon and Night. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

The ways in which people deal with grief vary from person to person. At times things can feel very hopeless and filled with despair. Questions arise such as "Where is God?" or "Does He care?" How can we see God's provision in the midst of this? This Sunday we will see how the Lord shows His care for His church through the means of His church.1) Respect for the family2) Caring for the suffererText: 1 Timothy 5:1-16

On the surface, bibliotherapy might sound like another personal wellness trend, but it definitely isn't. In fact, it's an approved form of mental health treatment in Canada. And it's been around for at least a century. In this podcast, researchers Sara Haslam and Edmund King discuss the First World War roots of this practice in the UK. Author Cody Delistraty considers its role in moving him forward in the grieving process. And psychiatrist Martina Scholtens explains why she created an evidence-based reading list online, tailored to a range of mental health diagnoses. *This episode originally aired on June 2, 2025.

Dennis Prager's conversation with family psychologist John Rosemond is a must-listen for parents and anyone interested in understanding the root of the problems plaguing modern society. In this episode of Timeless Wisdom, they dive into the concept of "Vitamin N," which stands for the word "no," and how its absence is affecting children's emotional resilience and character development. The discussion centers around the idea that today's parents are failing to deny their children the opportunity to experience the natural consequences of their actions, leading to an entitled and emotionally fragile generation. Rosemond shares his insights on how the shift in parenting styles, particularly the emphasis on validating children's emotions, has contributed to this issue. He also highlights the importance of teaching children the value of responsibility and obligation, rather than just focusing on relationships and feelings.

Can your smartphone become part of your mental health treatment? Prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) promise to do exactly that — but what are they, and do they actually work? In this episode, host Gabe Howard is joined by ADAA member experts John Torous, MD, MBI, a digital psychiatry expert, and Michelle A. Patriquin, PhD, ABPP, a clinical psychologist, to separate hype from reality. Together, they explain what PDTs are — and aren't — and how mental health apps fit into modern treatment. The conversation explores how apps can help bridge long wait times for therapy; reinforce skills learned in treatment; track mood, sleep, and behavior between appointments; and provide valuable insights that improve conversations with mental health clinicians. Listeners will learn: the difference between FDA-approved mental health apps and standard wellness apps why choosing the "best" mental health app is less important than finding one you'll actually use consistently how to avoid common misconceptions about digital mental health tools and make informed choices  If you've ever opened an app store looking for mental health support, this episode will help you separate marketing from evidence so you can make smarter, safer, and more informed decisions about incorporating technology into your mental health care. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Our guest, Dr. Michelle Patriquin, is the John S. Dunn Distinguished Professor and Associate Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, and serves as Assistant Dean of Digital Health & Innovation in the UTHealth Houston School of Behavioral Sciences.

About this episode:   If you've ever been prescribed a new medication from your doctor only to be told by the pharmacy that your insurance won't cover it, you're not alone. In fact, new research shows that denials and requirements for prior authorizations are happening more frequently and that, in half of these cases, patients are subsequently forgoing their prescriptions. In this episode: Joseph Levy, lead author of the study, explains why this is the case and discusses the tradeoffs between controlling drug spending and ensuring access to necessary treatments.  Guest:  Joseph Levy, PhD, is a health economist and assistant professor in Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Host:  Stephanie Desmon, MA, is a former journalist, author, and the director of public relations and communications for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs.

Primary care physician Lucy McBride has spent decades in a Washington, D.C. examination room doing something radical: listening. A Princeton and Harvard Med graduate who trained at Johns Hopkins, she built her career on the belief that health lives in the relationship between doctor and patient — not in the lab report. Her first book, Beyond the Prescription, lays out a four-quadrant framework for understanding the body as an ecosystem. In this conversation, we dig into why "normal" labs can be misleading, how AI and wearables are changing the game (and sometimes making things worse), the promise and pitfalls of GLP-1s, and what brain health prevention actually looks like. Lucy shares the appendicitis-bagel story that proves even doctors are imperfect patients. ▶ Subscribe YouTube @resaelewissmd 

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're Cathy and Merry, and we're thrilled to bring you another inspiring and empowering episode that will challenge the way you think about your health, medications, and aging well.In this episode, we dive deep into the world of functional medicine with Jen Germain, a certified functional medicine health coach who has helped over 200 clients transform their lives through personalized lifestyle changes, nutrition, and whole-body healing. Jen brings her own powerful story of overcoming a daunting Crohn's diagnosis and shows us why a prescription for life doesn't have to be the final word.We open up the conversation about why so many of us end up on multiple medications as we age and why "managing symptoms" isn't the same as true healing. Together with Jen, we explore the surprising root causes of chronic illness that conventional medicine often overlooks, such as stress, poor sleep, and mindset, and learn actionable strategies for taking back control of our well-being.Whether you're struggling with a new diagnosis, feeling dismissed by conventional doctors, or just ready to create a new health chapter, this episode will give you hope, practical tools, and the motivation to be your own advocate.Key TakeawaysMedication is not always destiny: The conversation focused on how a chronic diagnosis does not mean you're sentenced to medication for life. Functional medicine investigates and addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.Advocacy is essential: A key theme that emerged was the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. The discussion explored sample questions to ask your physician and encouraged listeners not to settle if they feel dismissed or unheard.Lifestyle changes work: One concept discussed was the power of personalized changes in diet, stress management, relationships, sleep, and even light exposure. Small consistent changes can add up to big improvements—even later in life.Mindset matters: The discussion explored how mindset, self-talk, and beliefs (“I'll always be this way” or “I can't live without sugar”) can quietly sabotage healing.

Are prevention-focused labs and early screening actually catching disease before conventional medicine would, and is anyone doing enough of it? In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C is joined by Michael Orloff, PA-C, a board-certified physician assistant who spent over a decade in emergency and trauma medicine before transitioning to functional medicine, to explore how cardiometabolic testing, early cancer screening, and lifestyle-first care can help patients stay out of the healthcare system altogether. Mike shares what he's seeing after his first year at FMI, coming from years of treating end-stage disease in the ER, and breaks down why he focuses on ApoB and lipoprotein(a) instead of relying on standard cholesterol panels alone, how zone-based training and lactate threshold testing let him build truly individualized cardiovascular prescriptions, and why insulin sensitivity sits at the center of long-term metabolic health. He also discusses why cancer screening guidelines often lag behind what he sees clinically, why radon exposure is an overlooked cancer risk in the Treasure Valley, and how simple, low-effort movement, like walking after meals, can meaningfully shift blood sugar and body composition. Whether you're trying to make sense of your cholesterol labs, curious about CGMs, thinking about weight loss, or just want a clearer picture of what proactive, data-driven prevention actually looks like, this episode offers practical insight from someone treating these issues every day. In this episode, you'll learn: How ApoB and lipoprotein(a) provide a more complete cardiovascular risk picture than LDL alone How zone two training, lactate threshold, and VO2 max testing personalize exercise prescriptions Why insulin sensitivity is central to cardiometabolic and metabolic health Practical levers for sustainable weight loss: dietary restriction, meal timing, and portion control How a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) reveals real-time, individualized blood sugar patterns Why early cancer screening, including colonoscopies, PSA, and CA-125, may need to start earlier than conventional guidelines suggest How environmental factors like radon exposure raise cancer risk in the Treasure Valley Why time, not motivation, is often the biggest barrier to aging well, and how to work around it Stay tuned for more conversations on functional medicine, cardiometabolic health, cancer prevention, longevity, and optimizing your health from the inside out!

Lindsay Clancy's murder trial reached its third day of testimony with first responders taking the stand and the jury set to visit the Duxbury home where three children died. But the moment that reshaped the conversation happened earlier in the week — when prosecutors walked nine prescription bottles past the jury and most of them still had pills inside.The defense says Lindsay Clancy was overmedicated by providers who failed her. Patrick Clancy described thirteen different medications, a Seroquel spiral, and a woman who begged for help that never came. But prosecutors want the jury looking at what was still in those bottles.Tony takes on the ten questions this audience cannot stop asking — from the medications to the 911 call to whether the medical system that prescribed those drugs belongs on trial. Everything you wanted to know. No holding back.End Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

There is a bag sitting in evidence at the Lindsay Clancy trial that both lawyers are going to reach for, and it holds nine prescription bottles that are almost completely full. That bag went into the record on the first day of testimony, entered by the prosecution, in front of the father of the three children who died. Patrick Clancy took the stand as the Commonwealth's opening witness. Prosecutors walked him through the marriage, the three deliveries, the maternity leaves, and the anxiety that arrived every single time his wife had to go back to work as a nurse. Then they handed him the pill bottles. The counts came out one at a time. Seven gone from a Zoloft prescription filled in September of 2022. Six out of thirty gone from an Ativan prescription filled in October. A bottle with two gone, a bottle with three, a bottle that had never been opened at all. Asked whether he knew any of those numbers, he said no, and added that context mattered. Nobody was counting. That is the whole case in one sentence, and both sides know it. This episode takes the exhibit apart and shows you why the state's strongest piece of paperwork might be the defense's too, why the family videos the prosecution played work against the argument they were played to support, and what Patrick Clancy told investigators that eventually sent him to a lawyer's office. It also covers the sentence the state pulled out of him about how his wife seemed the day everything happened, and why a jury of twelve women and six men is going to hear expert testimony fight over those few words for weeks.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Have You Ever Wondered If Your Telehealth Weight Loss Clinic Is Actually Giving You Real Medical Care, or Just a Prescription?This episode dives into a JAMA study that's been generating serious buzz throughout the obesity medicine community, and once you hear what it uncovered, you'll understand exactly why. Researchers conducted a "secret shopper" investigation, sending someone posing as a patient to 49 different telehealth clinics offering obesity management medications, simply to see what kind of care they'd actually receive. The findings shed light on where the gaps really are in this rapidly expanding area of healthcare, and they back up what a lot of obesity medicine providers have suspected for quite some time.We're unpacking what comprehensive obesity care is truly supposed to look like, and how you can figure out whether the care you're getting, or the care you're offering, actually holds up. And there are two calls to action woven throughout: if you're someone taking these medications or considering starting them, we'll walk through how to find a provider who's doing this the right way. And if you're a clinician providing this kind of care already, consider this your reminder to put yourself out there more, because there are patients who genuinely need access to someone doing it well.Topics Discussed:The JAMA Study Raising Questions About Obesity TelehealthThe Missing Piece in Many Telehealth Weight Loss ProgramsConvenience Shouldn't Replace Comprehensive Medical CareThe Importance of Clinical Oversight in Telehealth PrescribingWhat Comprehensive Obesity Care Should Look LikeWhere to Start If You're Considering Weight-Loss MedicationHow to Find High-Quality Obesity CareThis episode covers a lot of ground, from the specific numbers behind the study to what a truly thorough evaluation should include, and what red flags to watch for if you're navigating this kind of care yourself. Whether you're a patient trying to figure out if your provider is doing right by you, or a clinician who wants to understand where the industry is falling short, this conversation breaks it all down in a way that's genuinely worth your time.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Dr. Vicki Wright-Hamilton as guest to the show.   About Dr. Vicki Wright-Hamilton:   Dr. Vicki Wright Hamilton is the founder of VWH Technology, LLC and the creator of PeacefulCare, the AI-powered Caregiver Command Center. She's spent more than four decades in executive leadership, including time as a Chief Operating Officer, an Interim CIO, and a transformation strategist guiding senior leaders through the most disruptive technology shifts of their careers. Through her firm VWH Consulting, she works with executives navigating disruptive technology, with AI front and center right now, always keeping people first through change management and adoption.   Here's how PeacefulCare came to be. As Vicki worked with leader after leader, she kept hearing the same thing under the surface. They were exhausted trying to lead at work and care for someone at home at the same time. Often a parent. Sometimes a spouse, a sibling, or a child with complex needs. Nobody was talking about it, but it was costing them everything. So she started VWH Technology, LLC and built PeacefulCare for caregivers, drawing on a lifetime of caregiving experience that started in childhood when she helped her mother care for her grandmother and great aunt. Her great aunt passed away holding her hand.   She and her husband then cared for his brother for 26 years, and during a seven-year stretch she became the simultaneous primary caregiver for four additional loved ones, including one in Ohio she traveled to every three weeks. Based in Georgia, Vicki is a strategist, builder, speaker, and advocate who's lived every version of caregiving most families ever face.   About PeacefulCare.ai:   PeacefulCare is the AI-powered Caregiver Command Center for families managing the real work of care. Records, schedules, medications, documents, providers, appointments, patterns, risk signals, all in one place and intelligently connected. The platform lives under VWH Technology, LLC, the technology company founded by Dr. Vicki Wright Hamilton to bring AI-powered tools to the people who need them most. You can find it at PeacefulCare.ai.   The company was born from two things happening at once in Vicki's life. On one side, decades of caregiving. As a child, she helped her mother care for her grandmother and her great aunt, and her great aunt passed away holding her hand. As an adult, she and her husband cared for his brother for 26 years, and during a seven-year stretch she became the simultaneous primary caregiver for four additional loved ones while raising her kids and running her career. On the other side, her work through VWH Consulting, where she advises senior executives on disruptive technology and AI adoption with a people-first lens. Leader after leader kept telling her the same quiet truth.   They were trying to lead at work and care for someone at home, and the weight of doing both was breaking them. PeacefulCare was the answer to a question she kept hearing from both sides of her life. There was also one specific night that sharpened the mission. Vicki was sitting with her mother in the hospital, something shifted, she pushed, and her mother is alive today because a daughter who refused to go home saw something no system flagged and no algorithm caught. Technology can't replace the love and instinct of a caregiver. Technology should carry everything else.   What sets PeacefulCare apart is the AI analytics engine, and it's watching two people at once. The loved one and the caregiver. On the loved one's side, the platform tracks wellness patterns across medications, sleep, mood, vitals, appointments, and daily behaviors, and surfaces the small signals that usually go unnoticed until they turn into a hospital visit. Sudden changes in routine.   PeacefulCare's promise is simple and personal. You bring the love. PeacefulCare holds everything else.   The Prescription for Relief Summit:   Registration: https://summit.peacefulcare.ai   Hosted by: Dr. Vicki Wright Hamilton, founder of VWH Technology and creator of PeacefulCare.ai   Date: Saturday, July 25, 2026 Time: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Eastern Time    Location:  Live online via Zoom    Audience: Family caregivers, veterans, family decision-makers, professionals, advocates, and others carrying significant personal or caregiving responsibilities.
