The good news: the syndrome tends to wane over time with strict avoidance. Itchy & Bitchy is the podcast for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or gaslit by a broken medical system.  From gut health and hormone health to autoimmune disease and chronic pain, we investigate what science actually says.

Episode 4065: Lea Genders reframes failure as an essential part of personal growth, showing how lasting behavior change comes from learning through setbacks rather than striving for perfection. By embracing small improvements, increasing self-awareness, and treating mistakes as feedback, she illustrates how sustainable success is built one imperfect step at a time.

Fifteen years after her cancer diagnosis, Sheila Dillon asks what role food could play in cancer treatment, prevention and recovery - and why it is still so often overlooked.Earlier this year, the Government published a new 10-year National Cancer Plan for England, aiming to save 320,000 lives and ensure three in four people survive at least five years after diagnosis by 2035. It's been welcomed as an ambitious strategy, yet some say it has little to say about diet. References to food focus largely on reducing obesity - by making supermarkets to monitor and report on sales of healthy and unhealthy foods, and expanding access to weight-loss drugs. It also includes commitments to improving hospital food for children with cancer, and introducing prehabilitation programmes via the NHS App by 2028. So where does that leave food itself - in treatment, in recovery, and in the risk of relapse?Featuring interviews with: Clare Doney, the clinical lead for personalised care for the Northern Cancer Alliance covering the North East and North Cumbria. Dr Giota Mitrou, Executive Director of Research and Policy at World Cancer Research Fund International Prof. Robert Thomas, head of oncology at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, part of University College Hospital and consultant oncologist at Addenbrooks hospital in Cambridge.Produced by Natalie Donovan for BBC Audio in BristolResources:https://mywellbeingspacenca.nhs.uk/https://www.wcrf.org/living-well/living-with-cancer/cancer-and-nutrition-helpline/These links will take you to an external website.

The Anti-Hype Beauty Episode: Good Housekeeping's April Franzino on Testing, Trust, and the Aging Well Core Promise to the Listener The Not Old Better Show Good Housekeeping Good Better Best Interview Series Beauty advice has moved from the department store counter to the magazine page to the endless scroll. That shift matters, especially for adults 60+. Today, consumers are trying to make sense of sunscreens, retinol, dark spot correctors, fragrance, skin-tightening products, "anti-aging" claims, and social media recommendations that often sound more certain than the evidence allows. On this episode of The Not Old Better Show, I speak with April Franzino, Senior Beauty and Style Director at Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, and Prevention. April brings the perspective of a journalist, editor, product tester, and consumer guide. We talk about the Good Housekeeping Beauty Awards, the role of Beauty Lab testing, why sunscreen remains central to skin care, and how readers can separate practical guidance from polished salesmanship. For me, the larger question is trust. Who has earned it? What has been tested? What should we question before spending money? Experience matters. Longevity matters. And in beauty, as in health journalism, confidence should never outrun evidence.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026's increased tick concerns, Evelyn's high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time.— Connect With EvelynIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefusionfnp/https://www.gmofwi.com/ _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Tick Symptoms Surge01:15 Why This Episode Matters02:13 Podcast Intro And Disclaimers03:26 Meet Evelyn Tick Specialist04:41 Evies Lyme Origin Story07:21 From Trauma NP To Lyme Clinic14:41 Modern Tick Boom And What We Can Control37:34 Why Medicine Misses Lyme38:32 Terrain First Foundations39:50 Stress Hormones and Pregnancy41:19 Tick Bite Prevention Basics46:26 Tick Testing and Next Steps54:04 Treatment Options Beyond Antibiotics01:02:49 Testing Advocacy and Finding Help——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Since Donald Trump returned to the Presidency in 2025, the US has become increasingly isolationist. It has pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and the IPCC, left the World Health Organisation, as well as a whole host of other international organisations and agencies. So, when President Trump leaves the White House, will the US be able to rebuild trust on the international stage? This week on Cleaning Up, former US Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry sits down with Michael Liebreich and reflects on some of the defining diplomatic efforts of his career, from negotiating the Iran nuclear deal to helping secure the Paris Climate Agreement. Secretary Kerry explains how years of relationship-building and behind the scenes diplomacy helped bring Iran to the negotiating table and why he believes the original nuclear agreement succeeded in limiting Iran's nuclear programme. He also shares his frustration at what he sees as the dismantling of agreements and relationships that took years to build, and the challenge of restoring trust in US leadership on the global stage.  Secretary Kerry also shares his perspective on working with China, the importance of international cooperation, and the role diplomacy still has to play. They also discuss rebuilding trust in US leadership, and the shifting balance between the US and China in clean energy. Topics Include: How the Obama administration negotiated limits on Iran's nuclear programme The diplomacy behind the Paris Climate Agreement The meaning of "common but differentiated" in climate diplomacy Lessons from Kyoto, Paris and Dubai on international climate agreements Why engaging adversaries matters more than isolating them How can the U.S. rebuild trust on a global stage?

On this, our 331st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss sunscreen and vegans. It's Summer, and the sun is out! Should you slather yourself in sunscreen, stay indoors, or seek moderate exposure to the sun that grows in intensity that more your skin becomes acclimated to the season? The last, of course. Research has found that sunscreen use may be positively correlated with skin cancer, but a) “sunscreen” is not just one thing, and most but not all sunscreen is positively toxic, and b) all cause mortality is lower in people who get regular (non-sunscreened) sun exposure, so even if sunscreen does lower your risk of skin cancer—the sun is protecting your health in other ways. Also consider ditching the sunglasses, and donning a hat. Then: even the New York Times can't figure out whose team they're on, as a vegan in Portland tries to get Oregonians to outlaw hunting, fishing, animal research, conventional livestock production, and “lethal pest control.”*****Our sponsors:Mud/WTR: Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% off your @MUDWTR with code DarkHorse at http://mudwtr.com/DarkHorse #mudwtrpodCaraway: save up to $230 on the 12 piece cookware set vs buying the products individually; include minis duo & save up to $350.

CardioNerds (Amit and Dan), Billy Joe Mullinax, and Saahil Jumkhawala discuss the long term management of pulmonary embolism with Dr. Soophia Naydenov.  The episode focuses on the approach to patients who struggle with persistent symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue even after completing the acute phase of anticoagulation. This spectrum of disease, ranging from mild post-PE impairment to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), requires a structured follow-up. The discussion covers the critical importance of identifying CTEPH early, the necessary timelines for follow-up, and the appropriate objective screening tools and invasive testing to guide patient care toward full functional recovery. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Structured Follow-up is Mandatory: All PE survivors need a structured follow-up, typically with checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and 16–24 months, with the primary goal being to detect CTEPH, the deadliest, yet potentially curable, disease on the spectrum. Screening Should Be Objective and Practical: When screening for persistent symptoms, use objective assessment tools like the Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale or the Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) scale, as highly comprehensive but cumbersome tools (like the PE Quality of Life questionnaire) may not be practical for routine clinical use. Recurrence Risk Scores Aid in Anticoagulation Duration: Simple scores like the DASH score or the HERDO2 score (for women) can provide guidance when considering the continuation versus discontinuation of anticoagulation after the initial treatment phase. Invasive Testing for Persistent Symptoms: If a patient remains symptomatic at the 6-month mark despite normal non-invasive testing (chest X-ray, ECG, PFTs, six-minute walk, echo, VQ scan, CPET), consider invasive testing such as Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise, or an invasive CPET. Notes: Notes drafted by Saahil Jumkhawala. 1. The Spectrum of Post-PE Disease The term “post-PE syndrome” should be used with caution, as it refers to a spectrum of disease rather than a single entity. This spectrum includes symptoms (sequelae) that exist in a patient’s life following an incidental PE event that they did not have before. On one extreme is Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH): The definition is clear, but it is the most deadly type, though thankfully rare (2% to 4%). It involves a residual clot and pulmonary hypertension identifiable at rest. In the middle is Chronic Thromboembolic Disease (CTED): Patients may have residual defects seen on a VQ or CT scan, but they do not have pulmonary hypertension. On the other side is a milder disease, which can include fatigue, dyspnea, or a patient’s perceived impairment, where the definitions of CTEPH and CTED are not met, but the patient remains symptomatic. 2. Structured Follow-up and Screening for Post-PE Symptoms Structured follow-up is key for all PE survivors, though the structure may vary based on available resources (PCP, Cardiology, Pulmonary, or multidisciplinary clinic). Recommended Timeline for Follow-up: Data from studies like ELOPE and FOCUS suggest checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and up to 16 to 24 months. This timeline is designed to identify patients who may develop CTEPH. 88% of patients who develop CTEPH will be identified within about a year. A structured follow-up can reduce the delay in CTEPH diagnosis from 10–12 months to 4–6 months. Personal Practice Note: A quick 2–3 week/30-day check-in is recommended for severely ill patients (e.g., those who had TPA, profound shock, or ECMO support) to ensure medication compliance, manage symptoms, and identify red flags. Screening Tools (Objective Assessment): The first step is an inventory of patient symptoms, leaning toward objective rather than subjective assessment. Recommended Simple Tools: Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) for dyspnea evaluation. Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale. The Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life (QL) questionnaire is comprehensive but long, making it tedious and better suited for research. Future Utility: Technology (AI/electronic tools) may assist in administering these questionnaires before the clinic visit, presenting the information as a “dashboard” for the provider. 3. Management of Persistent Symptoms and Further Testing Initial Non-Invasive Tests (Often done at 3 months): Echocardiogram VQ Scan Full PFTs Six-minute walk CPET Further Evaluation for Persistent Symptoms (e.g., at 6 months): If non-invasive tests (Chest X-ray, ECG, CPET) are normal but symptoms persist, more invasive testing should be considered as the patient has not returned to baseline. Repeat VQ scan or echocardiogram if symptoms have changed. Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise. Invasive CPET. PA gram (Pulmonary Angiogram) to assess vasculature. 4. Recurrence Risk and Anticoagulation Duration The decision to continue or discontinue anticoagulation depends on the patient’s risk factors, the situation of the PE (provoked or unprovoked), presence of active cancer, and patient preference. Recurrence Risk Scores: Simple scores are preferred for practicality. DASH Score. HERDO2 Score (particularly for women). The Vienna Score can be considered if the question is whether to restart anticoagulation after a disruption. Role of D-dimer in Abbreviation: While D-dimer can be used to guide the decision to restart anticoagulation after a planned pause (if D-dimer is high, resume), patient symptoms are preferable to guide management decisions like early abbreviation. 5. Prevention of Post-PE Syndrome Currently, there is no clear tool known to prevent the post-PE syndrome/spectrum of disease. Best Current Advice for Prevention/Recovery: Anticoagulation compliance. Pulmonary rehabilitation, which aids in faster recovery. General precautions, such as smoking cessation and body weight management. Future Research: Ongoing trials are investigating whether acute management strategies (e.g., using thrombolytics in intermediate-risk PE) can prevent long-term sequelae. (The PYTHO trial did not show a reduced rate of CTEPH in intermediate-risk PE patients who received thrombolytics). References: Khan, F., Tritschler, T., Kahn, S. R., & Rodger, M.

In this episode of PICU Doc on Call, hosts Dr. Monica Gray and Dr. Pradip Kamat explore procedural sedation in the pediatric ICU. They cover sedation levels, pre-screening, risk stratification using ASA classifications, and medication selection tailored to each patient's hemodynamic and respiratory status. Through real-world case discussions involving respiratory failure, septic shock, and acute neurological decline, they highlight the importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring and early adverse event recognition. Key takeaways include avoiding the term "conscious sedation," preparing rescue plans, and prioritizing patient safety through careful assessment and monitoring.Show Highlights:Definitions and levels of sedation (minimal, moderate, deep sedation, and general anesthesia)Importance of terminology in procedural sedationMonitoring sedation levels using scales like the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)Pre-screening and risk stratification considerations for pediatric patientsASA physical status classification system for assessing patient riskUnique challenges of procedural sedation in critically ill childrenAdverse events associated with pediatric procedural sedation, particularly respiratory complicationsManagement strategies for specific cases requiring sedation (e.g., respiratory failure, septic shock)Importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring during sedationKey takeaways for safe sedation practices in the pediatric ICU settingReferences: Nir Atlas; Rahul C.

What do you do when you're 31, just bought your first house, and hear the words "you have breast cancer"? In this powerful episode, Jen sits down with Jessica Slocumb — a nearly nine-year breast cancer survivor, prevention advocate, and the heart behind the Instagram community @breast.friends_united. Jessica shares the moment everything changed, from feeling a lump while getting ready for work to the radiating pain she believes was God telling her to get checked. We talk about her stage 2, estrogen- and HER2-positive diagnosis, five rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy, and the year of HER2 infusions that followed — plus the honest, messy, in-between parts no one prepares you for. Jessica opens up about the testimony she received on her front stoop, the question her oncologist couldn't answer ("what caused this?"), and how that one unanswered question sent her on a journey to research the lifestyle, environmental, and wellness factors so often left out of the conversation. This conversation is for any woman who's newly diagnosed, in the thick of treatment, or trying to reduce her risk — and for anyone who loves someone walking this road. In this episode we cover: Finding a lump at 31 and why she almost skipped the mammogram Her full treatment path: chemo, double mastectomy, tissue expanders, and recalled implants The "we don't know what causes cancer" answer that changed everything Small, doable swaps to reduce everyday toxic burden — laundry detergent, skincare, food, candles, and water Why diet and going organic were her first changes (glyphosate, grass-fed, pasture-raised) The 28-day study on switching to non-toxic products and breast cancer gene expression Childhood trauma, nervous system regulation, and why stress is part of healing How cancer reshaped her relationships — and the wisdom her husband gave her Releasing the fear of recurrence and living fully anyway Her message for the woman hearing "you have breast cancer" tonight "God takes our ashes and turns them to beauty. This is only a season — your world is not over." Connect with Jessica: Instagram: @breast.friends_united A note: This episode is for education and encouragement, not medical advice. Always work with your own care team on decisions about screening, treatment, and prevention. If this episode moved you, share it with a woman who needs it today — someone is sitting alone in her diagnosis right now, and your share might be the thing that reaches her.

A new generation of HIV prevention tools could help reshape the global response to the virus which has led to the deaths of over 44 million worldwide – but without sustained funding, political commitment and community leadership, millions more risk being left behind.Ahead of next week's High-Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS, Mandeep Dhaliwal, Director of the Prosperity and Well-being Hub at the UN Development Programme (UNDP), told UN News the world's reached a pivotal moment in the fight against HIV as Governments prepare to negotiate a new Political Declaration.Speaking to Jolina Dong, Ms. Dhaliwal outlined the development body's new Power of Prevention initiative, which supports the community-led rollout of lenacapavir, a highly effective HIV prevention injection administered twice a year, in high-need countries.

In the latest episode of The Health Literacy 2.0 Podcast, host Seth Serxner welcomes renowned preventive medicine expert Dr. David Katz for a profound discussion on the root causes of chronic disease, the power of nutrition, and the challenge and importance of true health literacy.A trailblazer in public health and nutrition, David has spent over 30 years as an academic physician, researcher, and founding director of Yale's Prevention Research Center. Board-certified in both internal and preventive medicine, he's dedicated his career to translational research - turning what we already know about health into real-world action - and to advancing our understanding of how lifestyle choices, especially diet, account for the vast majority of premature death and chronic disease.Seth Serxner and Dr. David Katz also discuss:Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms: Most chronic diseases can be traced to modifiable behaviors, especially tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity, rather than their presenting medical diagnoses 03:01.Diet as a Leading Killer: Today, poor diet has overtaken tobacco as the number one cause of premature death in the U.S., responsible for over 500,000 deaths annually 10:35.The Misguided System: Our healthcare model is like lining up ambulances below Humpty Dumpty's wall—far too reactive, fixing people after the fall rather than preventing the damage in the first place 08:31.Making Diet Measurement Easy: Dr. David Katz developed Diet ID, a novel, image-based tool that lets anyone quickly and easily assess their diet quality through pattern recognition, making nutritional assessment scalable and user-friendly 16:27.Skill Power Over Willpower: The current food environment works against healthy eating; it's not just about willpower, but about building the skills to navigate an unhealthy culture 21:27.Behavior Change Science: The path to better eating is rooted in proven behavioral strategies, including small, individualized changes and an understanding of emotional and social eating cues 22:08.Diet Quality as a Vital Sign: Just as we routinely track blood pressure, diet quality should be an essential health metric, but the right tools are needed to make it happen 14:28.Consensus Over Confusion: Through the True Health Initiative, Dr. David Katz brings together leading experts across nutrition philosophies to agree on the core fundamentals: real food, mostly plants, and moderation, cutting through the noise of dietary debate 26:33.Health of People and Planet: Individual health cannot be separated from planetary health; the choices we make about food impact not just our own well-being, but the earth itself 31:25.As misinformation spreads and wellness challenges continue to mount, this episode is a call to action: empowering people with real knowledge, practical tools, and a sense of agency to build healthier lives - and a healthier world.Learn About EdLogicsWant to see how EdLogics' gamified platform can boost health literacy, drive engagement in health and wellness programs, and help people live happier, healthier lives?Visit the EdLogics website: www.edlogics.com.Get Seth's BookCheck out The Wellbeing Effect by Seth Serxner.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions 2025 Pediatric Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) Guidelines: A Brain–Gut, Migraine-Based Action PlanThe script explains updated 2025 guidelines for pediatric cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS), framing CVS as a disorder of gut–brain interaction and a “migraine equivalent,” with up to 82% of affected children having personal or family migraine history, shifting treatment focus to the central nervous system. It highlights links to nociplastic pain/central sensitization and higher rates of neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), supporting a holistic biopsychosocial approach and trigger management, especially consistent sleep. Key terminology (abortive vs prophylactic therapy, strong vs conditional recommendations) is clarified. The only strong recommendation is early abortive anti-migraine therapy (triptans like sumatriptan or high-dose NSAIDs like ibuprofen) during prodrome; conditional options include aprepitant, ondansetron, and early IV rehydration. Prevention starts with lifestyle and supplements (riboflavin, CoQ10), then escalates to propranolol, cyproheptadine, or amitriptyline; topiramate is generally avoided unless others fail. The guidelines address catamenial and “calendar time” CVS, distinguish CVS from cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome via six months of cannabis cessation, and emphasize creating a written green/yellow/red CVS action plan for home, school, and emergency care.00:00 Lost in the Fog01:56 CVS as Brain Gut Disorder04:19 Migraine Link Explained06:13 Nociplastic Pain and Sensitization08:48 Neurodivergence Connection10:50 Guideline Terms Decoded13:26 Abortive Rescue Plan17:18 Preventing Future Episodes22:05 Special Subtypes and CHS24:08 Action Plan Zones26:04 Holistic Approach and Wrap UpClick here for the YouTube Channel  Click here for the YouTube channel Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

It's been one year since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in an unprecedented move, dismissed all the members of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), kicking off what would turn out to be a very concerning and busy year for infectious disease specialists.  We're going to recap this turbulent period – which includes a resurgence of measles, an unusually rough flu season, the emergence of a new COVID strain and outbreaks of hantavirus and Ebola – with Dr. William Schaffner, one of the country's most frequently quoted medical experts on infectious disease, vaccination, and public health. As a member of ACIP for decades, Dr. Schaffner brings unique insight into the dismantling of the committee and the distrust of vaccines that lies at the root of the changes. As he explains to Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, while many vaccine critics are beyond reach, there are those he describes as vaccine hesitant that may be persuadable if the right approach is taken. “Beyond providing facts, we have to listen to them and respond to their concerns and make them feel comfortable. Information is fundamental, but behavior change only comes with a change in attitude.” Tune in for a wealth of wisdom and context that includes observations on: What's complicating containment of the Ebola outbreak; Challenges in public health communication in the current social media environment; What grade health authorities should get on their response to the hantavirus outbreak.

Epidemiology is the study of how and why diseases affect different groups of people, and what the science increasingly shows is that preventing disease and preserving health are deeply connected. In this episode, we focus on endometrial cancer, a disease where many risk factors are within our control. We speak with Immaculata De Vivo, PhD, professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, about how lifestyle factors like movement, nutrition, stress management, and social connection can influence our biology and long-term health. We also explore the biological impact of chronic stress in cancers like endometrial cancer and discuss how listeners can feel more informed, empowered, and proactive during healthcare visits.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is battling one of the worst Ebola outbreaks on record, calling on its workforce to help contain its spread overseas. But the CDC is dealing with last year's staffing cuts and still lacks permanent leadership in many of its roles. Further, Internal surveys show employees responding to the outbreak are also dealing with low morale. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has more.

Shomari Jackson was raised in East St. Louis, but he spent most of his childhood and teen summers in Arizona visiting his dad. He went to college in Arizona, but as he puts it, "Arizona chewed him up and spit him out." He returned home, experienced some major life events, navigated mental health issues, and finally grappled with the questions that would move him forward: Who was he? What was he capable of? How had trauma (historical, generational, personal) affected him? And most importantly, how did he want to carry himself into the world? Shomari went on to complete both his bachelors and masters degrees, and he's been advocating for equitable change in Arizona ever since.Today, Shomari is the owner and executive director of The South Mountain W.O.R.K.S. Coalition, a nationally recognized substance use prevention organization that focuses on systems change and building resilient communities in South Phoenix and throughout Maricopa County. He is the 2021 recipient of the Arizona Innovation in Health Equity Award, and on this episode, he shares what it means to reshape systems of inequity and support communities with an equity lens. Not only is this conversation timely, it's necessary. We hope you'll listen in.To learn more: http://southmountainworks.org/To connect with Shomari: shomari@southmountainworks.org or harmreduction@southmountainworks.org

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Professor Ron Blankstein, a leading authority in preventive cardiology and cardiac imaging at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston. Together they trace the remarkable journey of cardiac computed tomography (CT) from a niche diagnostic test to an indispensable pillar of contemporary cardiovascular practice. Professor Blankstein shares the moving story behind his new textbook, a companion to the legendary Braunwald's Heart Disease, recounting his personal collaboration with the late Dr Eugene Braunwald, who initiated the project and remained meticulously involved in its development until his passing. How has cardiac CT reshaped the diagnosis and management of coronary disease? What does the future of plaque analysis and photon-counting technology hold? And why should every cardiology fellow now consider CT essential to their training? Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.

The traits that make someone a great doctor, caring deeply, holding high standards, never switching off, are the same traits quietly driving burnout in medicine. Dr. Ira van der Steenstraten has spent over a decade working with junior doctors across Queensland and now coaches doctors one-on-one, and what she keeps finding is that most are not struggling because the system is hard. They are struggling because nobody ever taught them to treat themselves with the same compassion they extend to every patient. This episode asks a confronting question: what if burnout is not a workload problem, but a self-compassion problem? And what do you actually do about a critical inner voice that has been running unchallenged for decades? Highlights [03:00]: Dr. van der Steenstraten describes what it was like to sit across the table from patients suffering deeply from the same condition she was living with herself, and what she noticed that changed how she understood the mind-body connection. [07:00]: A report landed in Australia in 2013 with numbers so alarming that a group of junior doctors decided enough was enough. What they built in response reached more than 4,500 interns across Queensland. [15:00]: Burnout gets talked about constantly in medicine, but Dr. van der Steenstraten draws a distinction between burnout and something else entirely that is far more common and far more misunderstood. [19:00]: She describes a period in her own clinical career where she showed up every day, did her job, and felt hollow doing it. The reason why will resonate with doctors across every specialty. [25:00]: Something unexpected happened when hospital leadership was invited into the wellbeing workshops. Dr. van der Steenstraten explains what it was and why it changed everything in the room. [30:00]: The very qualities that get doctors into medicine are the ones that make them most vulnerable inside it. Dr. van der Steenstraten explains why this is not a coincidence and what needs to happen next. Three Key Takeaways 1. Burnout and moral distress are not the same thing. Most doctors know what burnout feels like, but fewer have a name for the specific frustration of being unable to practice medicine the way they believe it should be practiced. Dr. van der Steenstraten describes moral distress as something distinct from burnout, with different drivers and a very different path forward. She has watched the moment doctors hear this distinction described clearly, and the response in the room is always the same. When you finally have the language for what is happening to you, something shifts. That shift is where recovery begins. 2. Self-compassion is not a soft skill. It is a clinical risk factor. The selection process for medical school tends to attract people who are caring, conscientious, and hard on themselves. Then medical training reinforces exactly those tendencies. Dr. van der Steenstraten argues that low self-compassion is one of the most underrecognized risk factors for burnout in medicine, and that the critical inner voice most doctors carry has often been running since long before they ever set foot in a hospital. The good news is that it is not fixed. The harder truth is that it takes more than awareness alone to change it. 3. Connection inside the workshop was the intervention. When Dr. van der Steenstraten asked groups of junior doctors what they found most valuable about the wellbeing program, the answer was rarely a specific strategy or framework. It was the moment they realized they were not alone. That simple recognition, that the person sitting next to them was carrying the same weight, consistently came back as the most powerful part of the experience. It raises a pointed question about what is actually lost when wellbeing programs move entirely online. Guest Bio Dr. Ira van der Steenstraten is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and wellbeing coach based in Brisbane, Australia. She coached more than 4,500 junior doctors through her Queensland-wide wellbeing program and now works one-on-one with doctors internationally through Vitae Wellbeing Leadership.

In this episode of the Do One Better Podcast, Alberto Lidji speaks with Chris Sherwood, Chief Executive Officer of the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), one of the United Kingdom's most respected and influential child protection charities. As technology continues to reshape childhood, Chris explores the urgent challenges facing children and young people online, from social media and algorithmic design to artificial intelligence, sextortion, online exploitation, and emerging digital risks. Drawing on insights from Childline, which receives a contact from a child or young person every 45 seconds, he shares what children are experiencing firsthand and why stronger protections are needed. The conversation examines the UK's Online Safety Act, the responsibilities of technology companies, and the growing debate over age restrictions, platform accountability, and digital regulation. Chris argues that while important progress has been made, legislation and enforcement must evolve at the pace of technological change, particularly as AI becomes increasingly embedded in young people's lives. At the same time, he highlights the enormous potential of AI to support education, learning, healthcare, and personal development. The challenge, he explains, is ensuring that innovation is accompanied by meaningful safeguards that make technology worthy of children's trust. The discussion also explores the NSPCC's commitment to listening directly to young people, ensuring that their voices shape public policy and the decisions that will affect their futures. Chris reflects on the differing perspectives of parents and children, the role of schools, and the practical steps adults can take to support safer online experiences. Finally, Chris shares his own leadership journey, from a childhood shaped by adversity to leading some of the UK's most prominent social purpose organisations, including the RSPCA, Relate, and now the NSPCC. Throughout, he returns to a guiding belief that meaningful change is possible when society is willing to act. Topics covered include: • The mission and work of the NSPCC and Childline • Online safety and child protection in the digital age • The strengths and limitations of the Online Safety Act • Social media, algorithms, and platform accountability • Sextortion, AI-generated abuse, and emerging online harms • Artificial intelligence and its implications for children and young people • Why young people's voices must be central to policymaking • The role of parents, schools, governments, and technology companies • Leadership, and optimism as a force for change Visit our Knowledge Hub at Lidji.org for information on 350+ case studies and interviews with remarkable leaders in philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship. 

Today I speak with Dr. Nina Schwalbe, a public health scientist and former senior leader at UNICEF and Gavi who helped lead a Biden-appointed $7B global COVID vaccine effort, about why she's running for Congress in New York's District 12 in a crowded, money-dominated primary (June 23). We unpack how fundraising, media coverage, Democratic club endorsements, and super PACs shaped by Citizens United create a self-fulfilling "arms race," and she proposes reforms like campaign finance limits, matching funds, and equal-time standards. We also discuss evidence-based, systems-oriented policy priorities: expanding community health centers, lowering drug prices via pooled purchasing and single-payer, restoring CDC/FDA capacity, strengthening Medicare/Medicaid/ACA, investing in public housing, improving transparency and constituent services, and rebuilding trust in science through listening and primary care.(01:59) Why She Ran(05:55) Money And Primaries(08:26) Minimum Viable Campaign(12:08) Machine And Super PACs(16:13) Fixing Campaign Finance(17:06) Public Health Mindset(20:52) Transparency And Accountability(23:45) Street Level Messaging(26:08) NYC Infrastructure Priorities(27:49) Hyperlocal Transit Problems(28:06) What Congress Controls(30:46) Abundance Agenda Debate(32:46) Fixing Public Housing(33:23) Trust in Institutions(35:38) Rebuilding Health Trust(37:12) Community Health Centers(38:13) Why Drugs Cost More(39:42) Restore Public Health Agencies(41:35) Economics Shapes Health(43:39) Single Payer and Prevention(45:58) Chronic Illness Care Gaps(48:58) Working With Paul Farmer(52:23) Vision for Healthcare JusticeNina's campaignFollow Nina on Instagram

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Episode Introduction Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, hosts this solo episode focused on cardiovascular and general health prevention. Drawing on a recent paper from the University of Chicago, Dr. Bishop explores how primary care physicians can best prioritize preventative interventions to save the most lives. The episode aims to help patients and their loved ones understand which preventative strategies deliver the greatest health benefits. Key Takeaways: A University of Chicago study identified 42 different preventative interventions and ranked them by their ability to reduce mortality and morbidity, highlighting the challenge of covering all of them in a single medical consultation. Pre-exposure prevention for HIV in high-risk individuals ranks as the single most impactful intervention for gaining future life-years, yet it remains significantly underused in primary care settings. Breast cancer reduction medication (anti-estrogen and anti-aromatase drugs) for high-risk individuals ranks second in preventative value, a fact that surprises many, including Dr. Bishop himself. Pre-exposure prevention counseling for intravenous drug use ranks third, requiring primary care physicians to engage in sensitive but critically important conversations. Statin therapy for primary prevention ranks fourth overall and is considered underappreciated and underused, despite strong evidence supporting its benefits. Alcohol counseling and weight loss/dietician referral round out the top six patient-centered interventions, reflecting the ongoing importance of lifestyle modification. When ranked by efficient use of doctor's time rather than pure patient benefit, the list shifts slightly, with hepatitis B screening and hypertension screening entering the top six. For a practical real-world example, a 65-year-old overweight woman would be prioritized for statins, weight loss counseling (potentially including GLP-1 medications), and colorectal cancer screening, followed by reassessment. Not all preventative screenings are equally valuable — cervical screening ranks lower than commonly assumed, while breast cancer risk-reduction medication ranks far higher than most patients or doctors expect. Patients are encouraged to arrive at medical appointments informed and prepared, knowing their personal risk factors so they can make the most of limited consultation time.

Decades before Covid-19, the AIDS epidemic tore through communities in the US and around the world. It has killed some 40 million people and continues to take lives today. But early on, research and public policy focused on AIDS as a gay men's disease, overlooking other vulnerable groups—including communities of color and women. This month marks 45 years since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published its first report about a mysterious illness that would eventually be called AIDS. So we're bringing back Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows, from reporters Kai Wright and Lizzy Ratner, which chronicles the first years of the HIV epidemic in New York City. One of the most influential activists for women with AIDS was Katrina Haslip, a prisoner at a maximum-security prison in upstate New York. In the 1980s, Haslip and other incarcerated women started a support group to educate each other about HIV and AIDS.Haslip took her activism beyond prison walls after her release in 1990, even meeting with CDC leaders. One of the main goals was to change the definition of AIDS, which at the time excluded many symptoms that appeared in HIV-positive women. This meant that women with AIDS often did not qualify for government benefits such as Medicaid and disability insurance. The podcast series Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows is a co-production of The History Channel and WNYC Studios. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in February 2024.

The March 2026 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia made a major pivot regarding Lipoprotein(a) by establishing a formal recommendation for universal screening in adults. This 2026 guideline, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, issued a Class 1 recommendation stating that every adult should have their Lp(a) measured at least once in their lifetime. Because Lp(a) levels are genetically determined and remain highly stable throughout a person's life, a single lifetime check is sufficient for the vast majority of the population to establish their baseline risk. Well, that's great for Family medicine or internal medicine, but how does that affect us in women's health? Well, it's complicated: lipoprotein(a) has been associated with an increased risk of VTE and has also been associated, in some studies, with FGR, preeclampsia, and preterm birth! So, can these patients receive oral contraceptives? What about Perioperative and postop care? Do these patients require anticoagulation? What about pregnancy- is LDA recommended here? And lastly, what about TXA use in patients with HMB? This podcast topic comes from one of our podcast family members who is an OBGYN military personnel caring for our wonderful troops overseas.

Most of us have had that moment where we get our bloodwork back and shake our heads. We're still our active, health‑minded selves and out of nowhere—rising LDL, ApoB, A1C, and maybe blood pressure and Lp(a), too. This week, preventive cardiology dietitian Michelle Routhenstein joins us to unpack the cardiometabolic chaos and what's really driving it. She explains estrogen's protective role in lipids and blood pressure, why standard risk calculators and even calcium scores can miss women's disease, and which advanced labs are worth asking for. We also dig into how under‑fueling and low‑carb diets can worsen cardiometabolic health and plaque; why complex carbs, fiber, fermented foods, and gut health matter so much; and how to approach protein, red meat, electrolytes, nitric oxide, and statins in a personalized, empowering way—remembering that 80–90% of heart disease remains preventable when women get the right information and advocate for themselves.Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, CDN is a preventive cardiology dietitian and founder of Entirely Nourished, a virtual practice focused on personalized, science-based nutrition for heart health. With over 14 years of experience, she helps people improve cardiometabolic risk and manage conditions like atherosclerosis, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation using a whole-person approach. She holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Clinical Nutrition from New York University, serves on the Forbes Health Advisory Board and the Medical Advisory Committee for the National Menopause Foundation, and is the author of The Truly Easy Heart-Healthy Cookbook and Simple Meal Solutions for High Blood Pressure.
