Prosecutors have been granted access to prescription drug records of the world's most famous golfer, after his DUI arrest. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

Joseph Kleiman, President of Buzz Health, is working to improve price transparency and affordability of prescription drugs. He states that providing price transparency as early as possible in the prescription process is critical for prescribers, patients, and health plans to make better, more cost-effective decisions. To achieve true transparency, all parties in the ecosystem must cooperate and share data, moving beyond pricing visibility to fully integrate systems and use real-time information to improve patient adherence and lower costs. Joseph explains, "Buzz Health really focuses on improving the process behind the scenes, developing technologies that sit within the prescription ecosystem, creating opportunities to improve price transparency, early adoption, and integrated benefits for members."  "We work with everybody from pharmacies to PBMs to payers to employer groups. Anybody we believe has an opportunity that, with technology and early adoption of price transparency and adherence, could benefit them and the members they serve." "What's interesting is that, like most things, the earlier you have information, the easier it is to make actionable change, things with long-term impact. So if you have price transparency and you have it early on, a prescriber can make more informed decisions. A patient, rather than showing up at a pharmacy counter, can make decisions earlier on. So again, it's kind of like the earlier you have anything in making a decision, the easier it is for you to make a really actionable change all the way up through a PBM or health plan. If they see gaps in coverage and they have that information, they can make changes early on as well." #BuzzHealth #PrescriptionDrugs #Pharmacies #HealthcareIT #PriceTransparency #PrescriptionAffordability #PharmacyTech #MedicationAccess #HealthcareTransparency #PrescriptionPricing #PatientCare #HealthTech #PharmacyBenefits #HealthcareInnovation #PatientOutcomes #MedicalTechnology buzzhealth.com Download the transcript here

Derek Benson joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up between Connecticut and Florida, bouncing between private schools and military schools, and chasing a future as a student athlete before everything changed. After being introduced to drugs in high school, Derek's life quickly spiraled into addiction, leading him down a path of arrests for burglary, theft, and other crimes as he struggled for over a decade. In this episode, he opens up about how addiction took over his life, the consequences that landed him in a Connecticut state prison for nearly two years, and the reality of hitting rock bottom. Derek also shares how he finally got sober, rebuilt his life, and the lessons he learned after more than 10 years of addiction. _____________________________________________ #AddictionRecovery #DrugAddiction #RockBottom #PrisonStory #ExInmate #TrueCrime #LifeStory #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Derek Benson: https://www.investinginsobriety.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Athlete to Addiction & Arrest (Full Story) 00:13 Early Life, Family & Upbringing 01:41 Moving, School Changes & Sports Background 05:06 Family Separation & Early Trauma 11:13 Living Between Parents & Confusion Growing Up 13:24 Hustler Mentality & Early Behavior 14:56 Military School & Boarding School Experience 19:09 High School Transitions & Identity Struggles 22:19 College Athlete Life & Substance Use Begins 25:12 Prescription Drugs & First Major Incident 29:24 Addiction Escalates in College 36:41 Trouble at Purdue & Entering Illegal Activity 41:49 Transfer to Hofstra & Drug Schemes 51:41 Post-College Struggles & Addiction Deepens 01:03:31 Living a Double Life: Crime & Addiction 01:13:47 Theft, Crime & Arrest 01:20:26 Jail, Withdrawal & Rock Bottom 01:27:27 Prison Life & Survival 01:35:00 Awaiting Trial & Legal Consequences 01:45:12 Release, Rehab & Recovery Journey 01:56:57 Reentry & Building a Support System 02:03:01 Work, Business & New Challenges 02:10:39 Sobriety, Reflection & Life Lessons 02:18:00 Giving Back & Final Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

David Bahnsen fills in for Brian Szytel with a Daily Recap recorded shortly before the close as markets trade higher (Dow up ~300, S&P up nearly 1%, Nasdaq up over 1%) and notes upcoming Nvidia earnings. He focuses on economic takeaways from the State of the Union rather than politics, highlighting the lack of new affordability proposals as potentially market-friendly. He says Medicaid drug price controls were reiterated but have little market impact due to low passage odds, and that pharma has largely navigated tariff threats already. He reviews proposals for government-matched quasi-401(k) plans for lower-income Americans, requiring hyperscalers to fund their own power needs, and an unrealistic idea of tariffs replacing income taxes. He supports banning congressional stock trading and notes omissions on credit-card rate caps and 2026 tax-cut reconciliation, while flagging a call to ban institutional ownership of residential real estate. 00:00 Market Snapshot Setup 00:36 State of the Union Focus 01:12 Affordability and Policy Restraint 02:15 Prescription Drugs and Pharma 03:25 New Savings Plan Proposal 03:42 AI Data Centers and Power 04:17 Tariffs and Tax Reality Check 04:45 Congress Stock Trading Ban 05:04 What Wasn't Said and Housing 05:48 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

In 2019, Maryland became the first state in the nation to establish a Prescription Drug Affordability Board. After years of preparatory work, the agency is poised to take its first actions on two blockbuster diabetes drugs, Jardiance and Farxiga, and a year later, the Board can expand its price control mechanism to the private insurance market. Will they clear the thicket of dysfunction in the drug marketplace and help lower actual drug costs? Sunil Dasgupta talks with Andrew York, Executive Director Maryland Prescription Drug Affordability Board, and Vincent DeMarco, president of the Maryland Health Care for All Coalition.

Three facts are scientifically undisputed: Serotonin is essential for fetal brain development. SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system. SSRIs freely cross the placenta. So why are pregnant women being told these drugs carry "little or no risk"?In this rare head-to-head debate, Dr. Adam Urato—maternal-fetal medicine specialist and FDA expert panelist—faces off against Dr. Robert Chen, a psychiatry resident willing to do what most of his colleagues won't: step into the arena and defend the establishment position.What unfolds is a striking conversation where both physicians actually agree on more than you'd expect—including that informed consent is failing pregnant women, that the chemical imbalance theory is dead, and that "untreated depression" is a misleading frame designed to sell drugs. The uncomfortable question neither side can fully answer: If SSRIs are correcting depression, why does the research show worse outcomes for women who stay on them?This isn't anti-medication propaganda. It's the conversation your doctor isn't trained to have with you.Listen before you fill that prescription.

In today's episode, your host, Jon LaClare, leads an important conversation that healthcare marketing rarely explains: the placebo effect and why it deserves far more attention. This discussion is inspired by the launch of Pluseebo, a transparent, intentionally humorous product designed to spark awareness around belief, expectation, and honesty in healthcare.While Pluseebo is lighthearted on the surface, its launch highlights a much deeper reality supported by published scientific research. Placebo responses can produce real, measurable biological effects in the body, including changes in brain chemistry, pain perception, and overall wellbeing. These effects are not imagined, and in many clinical trials they closely mirror the average performance of widely prescribed medications.Tune in as Jon breaks down what healthcare advertising often leaves out, including how modest the average benefit of some antidepressants, pain medications, sleep aids, and other common prescriptions can be when compared to placebo, and why side effects and transparency must be part of the conversation. Grounded in respected medical journals and FDA-reviewed data, this episode offers a research-driven perspective designed to inform, challenge assumptions, and elevate the discussion around modern healthcare. Don't miss this timely conversation on belief, biology, and why understanding the placebo effect changes how health products, treatments, and claims should be evaluated.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we'll cover:What the placebo effect actually is, and why it's not “fake.”What large studies reveal about SSRIs, opioids, sleep medications, anxiety medications, ADHD drugs, and statins.Why prescription drug commercials rarely tell the full storyHow transparency in healthcare affects trust and decision-makingHow Pluseebo is designed to spark honest conversations.To learn more about Pluseebo, visit Pluseebo.com.To be a guest on our next episode of the podcast, contact us today!Do you have a brand that you'd like to launch or grow?

Steve is joined by former Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee and spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, to spotlight the real cost of prescription drugs in America. He talks about PRA's interactive installation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where Americans are seeing firsthand how U.S. patients often pay more than three times as much for the same medications compared to other wealthy countries. Hayworth explains why transparency, competition, and common-sense reform matter, and how PRA is collecting personal stories from everyday Americans impacted by skyrocketing drug prices, putting pressure on a system that's clearly not working for patients.

In this episode, we explore four transformative topics reshaping how we think about whole-body health:1. The Lasting Impact of Prescription Drugs on Gut HealthFrom antibiotics to acid reducers, we uncover how common medications can shift the delicate microbial balance in ways that influence digestion, metabolism, and even mental well-being.2. MIT's Discovery: An Amino Acid That Helps the Gut Heal ItselfBreakthrough science takes center stage as we examine MIT's recent findings surrounding a specific amino acid shown to support gut barrier integrity. We translate the lab data into real-world insights, exploring how this discovery could inspire future therapies. 3. Superstars for Gut–Brain Axis Health and VitalityMeet the nutrients that support a thriving communication network between your gut and brain. From Wellness Resources we spotlight the “all-stars” that keep your inner ecosystem and emotional wellness in sync. 4.

Starting in January, Californians will be able to buy discounted insulin from the state. That's thanks to CalRx, the state-run drug label created in 2020 that partners with manufacturers to slash generic prescription drug prices. CalRx already offers the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone for about half the market price and other medications, including asthma inhalers, could be next. We'll talk about whether this effort could ease the prescription drug affordability crisis and bolster the supply of crucial medications.

On Joe Untamed today, we dive headlong into truths the establishment wants buried. From covering the safety of prescription drugs to the CDC looking to sabotage RFK, confronting the battle for election integrity and systemic corruption head-on. With Tina Peters' unjust imprisonment still sending shockwaves nationwide, we probe the chilling question: what happens when truth-tellers are branded political prisoners, and who's orchestrating this assault on freedom? We welcome Kim Witczak, a relentless drug safety advocate whose personal loss fueled a two-decade mission to expose Big Pharma's dangerous practices. Her work has driven critical Black Box warnings, challenged FDA complacency, and revealed how profit-driven systems sideline patient safety. Kim's revelations about antidepressants, medical ethics, and regulatory failures are a must-hear for anyone who trusts their health to the system—a conversation that will open your eyes and demand action. Next we have Dr. Murray Sabrin, a fearless economist and champion of free markets, returns to unpack what the mainstream ignores: how the Federal Reserve's reckless policies, tariffs, and world trade are colliding together. With clarity and conviction, Dr. Sabrin maps out the roots of this crisis and the urgent reforms needed to reclaim financial liberty. This episode is a clarion call for patriots, families, and truth-seekers—tune in to seize the narrative and fight.
