Child immune system support isn't about stopping every cold — it's about knowing which ones are normal. Nurse Doza breaks down how a school-age immune system actually develops, what's worth a closer look, and five things you can do at home: sleep, food, the right supplements, movement, and nervous system care. Plus the one nutrient that keeps coming back low on lab work. Featured Product The D (4-Month Supply) — $75 Vitamin D receptors sit on immune cells throughout the body — in the gut, the sinuses, the lungs — and vitamin D is one of the most commonly low results on a standard lab panel. The D pairs vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) with vitamin K2 as MK-7 in a single daily capsule, and one bottle runs four months. One habit, one bottle, the whole season covered.

In this episode, we review three medical myths, highlighted in the "Things We Do For No Reason" series of the Journal of Hospital Medicine, including anaerobic coverage for aspiration pneumonia, fluid restriction in heart failure, and docusate for constipation. Key Concepts In aspiration pneumonia, addition of anaerobic coverage is not necessary unless a patient has necrotizing pneumonia, empyema, or lung abscess. Antibiotic selection should be aligned with CAP or HAP guidelines even if aspiration is suspected or observed. Docusate has not been shown to be more effective than placebo. Evidence-based and effective laxatives, such as PEG 3350 or psyllium, should be used instead. Patients with heart failure should not be fluid restricted unless they have hyponatremia. Excessive fluid should be treated with diuretics and optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy.

This episode reviews updated AAP recommendations for RSV prevention in infants and high-risk children entering a second RSV season, phase 3 data suggesting TP53 mutation status may help identify patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer who benefit from adding chemotherapy to osimertinib, and results from two phase 3 trials showing that the IL-33–targeting biologic tozorakimab reduced COPD exacerbations in patients who remained at risk despite standard inhaled therapy.

Task chairs are the piece of equipment ergonomists get asked about more than anything else. They're also where clients reliably spend the most money and get the least return because nobody explained the features that actually matter.This episode is for ergonomics practitioners. We go through seven task chairs using the same clinical feature framework we use in our Ergo Equipment Database inside Accelerate: lumbar height, lumbar pressure and depth, independent back angle, seat depth adjustment, 4D arms, backrest airflow, headrest availability, sizing range, seat pan modification options, warranty, and return policy. Not the marketing copy. The clinical picture.The 6 chairs:Branch Pro (~USD $500-649)Steelcase Leap V2 (~USD $1,200-1,500 new / USD $400-750 refurbished)HON Ignition (~USD $400-600)Herman Miller Aeron (~USD $1,400-1,800)ErgoCentric AirCentric (~USD $800-1,200)Humanscale Freedom (~USD $1,200-1,500)All 6 chairs and dozens more are in the Accelerate Ergo Equipment Database, where members can run side-by-side comparisons matched to a client's specific clinical picture and download a branded comparison guide to hand directly to clients.

What if the answer to better health isn't always another prescription?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Dr. George Kramer for a fascinating conversation about the history of medicine, the rise of the pharmaceutical model, and the growing return to natural and whole-person approaches to health.Dr. Kramer shares how his experience at Mayo Clinic and decades of practicing physical and integrative medicine shaped his approach to healing. They discuss how medicine moved from an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, lifestyle, and the body's natural ability to heal toward a system increasingly focused on diagnosing disease and treating symptoms with medication.They explore the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, morning light, breathing, stress reduction, gut health, vitamins and minerals, and spiritual health. Dr. Kramer also explains why he believes the mind, body, spirit, and soul should all be considered when looking at a person's health.You'll also hear personal stories about magnesium, migraines, atrial fibrillation, chronic pain, hormone health, prayer, and the surprising ways seemingly simple changes can make a difference.Dr. Kramer explains why he believes medicine is beginning to rediscover some of the principles that natural and integrative practitioners have emphasized for decades—and why patients can take a more active role in understanding and caring for their health.Most importantly, this conversation points back to a biblical perspective: our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for our health can be part of caring for what God has entrusted to us.Find more from Revelations Podcast hosted by Reagan Kramer: Website | Instagram | Apple Podcast | YoutubeBecome Part of Our Mission!

Most ergonomists follow a similar path. School, where the theory is fascinating but the practical is thin. Learning the ropes, where the real work begins and the gap between what you studied and what clients actually need becomes very clear. And then the big question: is entrepreneurship the final boss?This episode maps the three phases of the ergonomics career journey through an honest, experience-based lens, covering what school gives you and what it doesn't, the three paths into real-world ergonomics experience, and what the shift toward independent practice actually requires, starting with the thing most ergonomics programs never teach: marketing.What's covered:Phase 1: School, what ergonomics education gives you and the critical gap between theory and practiceWhy office ergonomics assessments specifically are the practical gateway to everything else in the fieldPhase 2: Learning the ropes, the three paths (internship, mentorship, nine-to-five) and when each one makes sensePhase 3: Flying your wings, what the entrepreneurship decision actually looks like and how to approach itWhy job security in a nine-to-five is more of an illusion than it feelsThe marketing system problem: why scattered posts don't build a practiceThe real question: are you known as the go-to ergonomics professional in your city, or invisible until someone gets hurt?Free live training for new ergonomists: ergonomicshelp.com/ergo-webinarScale your ergonomics practice with Accelerate: ergonomicshelp.com/accelerateOn September 23rd join this free live training and learn the exact system ergonomists are using to build their list, get referred more, and stop undercharging for work that deserves more.  https://ergonomicshelp.com/infographic/

This week, Tee is joined by Dr. Jaquel Patterson, an internationally recognized naturopathic physician, 3x Amazon bestselling author, and Forbes contributor. As CEO of Fairfield Family Health, Dr. Jaquel brings over 16 years of clinical expertise treating Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, ADD/ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, and environmental illness. She's been named the top naturopathic physician in Fairfield County for six consecutive years, has been featured in USA Today, Forbes, and on CBS, Fox, and NBC, and serves as Treasurer of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Jaquel unpacks lifestyle medicine and proactive prevention as the true foundation of long-term wellness, rather than chasing symptoms after they appear. She explains how simple, intentional daily habits can help prevent chronic disease and bring the body back into balance. Tee and Dr. Jaquel discuss how these principles apply not just to adults, but to protecting the whole family's health. The conversation also dives into one of Tee's favorite topics: how modern environmental stressors quietly undermine our health over time. Dr. Jaquel draws on her background in environmental medicine to share how families can build resilience against these everyday exposures through proactive, root-cause care. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or simply want to future-proof your family's health, this episode offers a practical foundation to build from.   Connect with Dr. Jaquel:  Website  LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram  Phone: (908) 581-8181   Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus:  The Green Living Gurus  Website  Instagram  YouTube  Facebook  Healthy Living Group on Facebook   Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.

Six training myths. Under twelve minutes. No fear-mongering, no gym-bro folklore, just what the research actually says about training your kid, or yourself, smarter.In this rapid-fire episode, Coach Julian goes through six of the most common training myths parents, athletes, and adult lifters hear all the time, and lays out exactly what the research says about each one.You'll learn:Whether lifting weights actually stunts a kid's growth (the AAP's position paper settles this one directly)Why soreness is a bad way to judge whether a workout "worked"Whether you really need to train every day to see results, and what a 2016 meta-analysis found actually drives progressWhy cardio alone leaves fat loss on the table, based on an 8-month randomized trial comparing cardio, weights, and both combinedWhat the research actually says about static stretching before a game, and why the timing matters more than the stretch itselfWhether strength training makes young athletes slower and bulkier (spoiler: the data says the opposite)If you've ever repeated one of these "facts" to your kid, your team, or yourself, this episode will change how you think about training in under fifteen minutes.This episode is for educational purposes based on current research and isn't a substitute for individualized coaching.

Send us Fan MailA single bite or wildlife exposure can turn “vaccinated” into a complicated question fast, especially when the animal is a zoological species, a wildlife rehabilitation patient, or any non-traditional mammal that does not have a licensed rabies vaccine label. We sit down with Dr. Ryan Wallace, who leads the rabies program at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to unpack what clinicians and public health teams can lean on when the rules feel vague and the consequences are real.We walk through what the research shows about serologic response after extra-label rabies vaccination across many mammalian species, including how often animals reach protective antibody titers after a primary dose and where responses can be lower in very large species or very small species. Ryan also explains why antibody titers naturally decline over time, what “boostability” means in practical terms, and why a strong anamnestic response after a booster can be the signal decision-makers need when assessing risk after exposure.We also tackle the questions you hear in the exam room: “Why not just titer-check every animal?” and “Does my indoor cat really need rabies vaccination?” The answer involves cost, exposure recognition, and one word that changes everything for indoor pets: bats. If you work in zoo veterinary medicine, wildlife rehabilitation, shelter medicine, or small animal practice, this is a grounded look at evidence that may help prevent unnecessary euthanasia while protecting people and animals.

Twenty-five years later, one lab three miles from Ground Zero is still identifying 9/11 victims. The lab promised the families it would never give up — and it hasn't. Mark Desire and the NYC medical examiner team are still pulling DNA from tiny bone fragments that the fire, jet fuel, and water nearly destroyed. Last month, the team identified the 1,651st victim. Nearly 7,000 pieces still have no match. The team has gone back to the same bones 10 times, waiting for the science to catch up. A firefighter's helmet went home. The man who wore it has not. This is what “never forget” looks like when the cameras leave: a sterilized room, a shredded jacket from the day the towers fell, and a vow that did not expire. Pat also covered: GOP midterm convention is over — was Dallas a JD Vance coronation? George W. Bush loved this country, and on 9/11 he pulled it together JD Vance got heckled on the convention floor in Dallas Where were you when the towers fell? Did America forget what happened on 9/11?

Tick prevention for hunters and bird dogs starts before the first walk through cover. Travis Avery of Sawyer Products joins Nick to talk about permethrin, treated clothing, and what happens when a tick reaches that fabric.I've sprayed my hunting pants for years, but I hadn't spent much time thinking about what the treatment was doing two weeks later. No smell. Nothing I could see. Travis's explanation helped me connect that familiar routine to how the product works. We also discuss treating boots and socks, along with the dog beds and kennel pads I already spray.We talk about the difference between a fabric treatment and a topical repellent, why drying matters, and how Travis approaches prevention with his dog Murphy. The conversation also covers tick checks and the extra care involved when cats are around. We open with Sawyer's water filters and a few ways they can fit into a hunting vest, a truck, or a trip with the dogs.The idea is to spend more time in the woods with a routine that makes sense.Questions from the episodeHow is permethrin different from a topical insect repellent?Permethrin is the fabric treatment at the center of this conversation. Travis describes it as a contact insecticide, while DEET and picaridin serve as topical repellents. Nick asks how those approaches fit together when a hunter has treated clothing but still has exposed skin. The distinction helped him better understand the routine he already uses.Why can treated hunting clothes still work two weeks later?The treatment bonds with the fabric rather than depending on a smell that Nick can detect. Travis compares that bond to dye in a shirt. He describes sunlight and washing as factors that reduce its effectiveness over time. For Nick, that explains why an odorless pair of treated pants can still be part of his routine.How long does Sawyer's clothing treatment last?Sawyer describes its clothing treatment as lasting up to six weeks or six washings, whichever comes first. Travis discusses that window alongside sunlight, laundering, and time in the field. Nick connects it to the early grouse season, when he is regularly walking through tick cover. The current product label gives the application and retreatment directions.What changed in Nick's thinking about bird dogs and ticks?Nick already uses an oral preventive for his setters and treats their beds and kennel pads. Hearing how permethrin works on contact made him curious about treating the dogs themselves. Travis describes his routine with Murphy and points listeners to Sawyer's dog-specific instructions. That conversation is about an additional layer, with the product label and a veterinarian guiding any individual dog's use.Where does water filtration fit into a bird-hunting trip?Travis carries a filter when fly fishing and describes options for a hunting vest, truck, cabin, or group camp. Nick starts from a place where water is usually available, then thinks about western hunts and carrying enough for himself and the dogs. They also discuss the limits of standard filters, including viruses and chemical contamination.Connect with SawyerSawyer Products: https://www.sawyer.com/Permethrin product details and dog application instructions: https://www.sawyer.com/products/permethrin-fabric-treatmentSawyer on Instagram: https://instagram.com/sawyerproductsListen and followSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/17EVUDJPwR2iJggzhLYil7Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/birdshot-podcast/id1288308609YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@birdshot.podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/birdshot.podcast/Website: https://www.birdshotpodcast.com/SponsorsThis episode is brought to you by Upland Gun Company, Final Rise, and Irish Setter Boots.Upland Gun Company: https://uplandguncompany.com/Final Rise Shirt of the Month: https://finalrise.com/pages/upland-shirt-subscriptionIrish Setter Pheasants Forever Edition: https://irishsetterboots.com/pheasantsforever Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. Today, I'm answering listeners' questions about cardiovascular risk, focusing on Lp(a), LDL, statins, and the changes women experience after menopause. Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why women should have their Lp(a) checked both before and after menopause How Lp(a) works as a risk enhancer, and how cardiovascular risk becomes more significant when elevated Lp(a) occurs alongside high LDL Why family history is particularly helpful for women with a 10-year calculated cardiovascular risk that looks reassuringly low I review the current guidelines for primary prevention Why, even though research has shown reductions in major cardiac events with GLP-1s, GLP-1s do not replace statins for lowering LDL  What a CAC score can reveal about coronary artery calcification, and what it cannot detect How AI-assisted CT angiography (such as Clearly) can map, quantify, and characterize plaque throughout the coronary branches Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

Is your health something that happens to you—or something you've been entrusted to care for?In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong welcomes Sharon Lemoine, ARNP, owner of Gig Harbor Concierge Medicine. After more than 30 years in healthcare, including 25 years in emergency medicine, Sharon has witnessed the limitations of a system that often waits for illness before taking action. Today, she champions a different philosophy—one rooted in prevention, personal stewardship, and helping individuals become active participants in their own health.Sharon's perspective is also deeply personal. Living with Type 1 diabetes, surviving thyroid cancer, navigating surgical menopause, and undergoing a prophylactic mastectomy have taught her that flourishing isn't about having a perfect body; it's about faithfully caring for the body you have while cultivating purpose, resilience, and meaningful relationships.Together, Sharon and Dr. Armstrong explore the intersection of body, soul, and meaning, discussing how taking ownership of our health can transform not only how long we live, but how well we live.Learn more at https://gigharbormedicalspa.com/YouTube @SharonLemoine-ARNPPlease, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Dr. Sara Ailshire examine the available evidence on planned unassisted birth, also known as freebirth, defined as intentionally giving birth without a qualified midwife or physician present.   They explore why some people choose a planned unassisted birth, including previous trauma, distrust of the medical system, barriers to preferred care, and a desire for greater autonomy. Dr. Dekker and Dr. Ailshire also explain how freebirth differs from midwife-attended home birth, what research shows about planned community birth, and the safeguards a trained birth attendant can provide during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the newborn period. Finally, they discuss investigative reporting concerning the Free Birth Society, including allegations of misinformation and preventable harm associated with its community.   Content Note: This episode includes discussions of stillbirth, maternal death, newborn death, birth trauma, and serious complications related to planned unassisted birth.   (00:03:20) What Is Freebirth?

A robot showed up in everyone's pocket, and it changed how guests answered one simple question for an entire year. This episode of The Next Frontier Files rewinds to year four, when artificial intelligence collided with gut health, hormone balance, and a growing call to return to species-specific diet basics.Jenn Trepeck weaves together voices from across the year four of Salad With a Side of Fries to show which predictions about wellness coaching and technology came true and which the industry has already moved past.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How artificial intelligence started shaping the conversation around personal health and wellness coaching back in year four✅ Why several guests pushed back on technology and pointed back to basic eating instead✅ How gut health, blood sugar, and hormone balance kept surfacing as a common thread across very different specialties✅ Which prediction about body positivity and the fitness industry turned out to be the most accurate in the show's historyThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into real-life wellness and weight loss, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Introduction to volume four of the Next Frontier Files miniseries and what to expect04:00 David Greenwalt raises artificial intelligence as a coming force in nutrigenomics05:36 Dr Jessie Hehmeyer discusses continuous glucose monitor data as personalized coaching06:27 Ted Kritsonis connects wearable technology to a possible virtual reality wellness future07:35 Deanna Yates warns about social media detox and reclaiming attention from dopamine loops09:18 Glenn Livingston and Chad Tackett both argue for back-to-basics eating and support10:45 Hally Brooke advocates for health coaching12:45 Three guests link gut health, blood sugar, and hormone balance under one cellular theme14:49 Nadine Artemis focuses on peptides, and Ellen Scanlon discusses the relevance of cannabis17:15 Jordan Syatt and Taylor Wessel both make predictions about body positivity reversing courseKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Denial prevention requires healthcare organizations to look beyond back-end recovery and address the operational breakdowns that cause claims to be denied. Taylor Searfoss explains how stronger processes, cross-functional collaboration, and practical uses of AI can reduce rework and protect margins.

Reactive ergonomics: someone gets hurt and their company calls you. It's stressful, it's rushed, and the moment you finish the report, it's over. Prevention ergonomics: the client already values what you do, already has a budget, and wants to keep working with you. These are 2 very different businesses. This episode makes the case for why the second one should be the goal and covers the 5 concrete reasons why prevention and proactive ergonomics services are the most valuable work an ergonomics consultant can build toward. What's covered:Why the marketing rule of 7 is now completely outdated, and what the research says the real number is in 2026 and beyond. The difference between a reactive a reactive client mindset and a prevention mindset, and why it matters for your income Reason 1: no more "we need you yesterday" urgency. Prevention clients work on your schedule Reason 2: Prevention work is not transactional; it builds recurring revenueReason 3: A culture of prevention means a plan, a budget, and a long-term relationshipReason 4: Prevention-oriented employers have a multi-year vision and they want you in itReason 5: Prevention-oriented employers have a multi-year vision and they want you in it And we'll also cover why infographics are one of the easiest and most effective tools to shift clients from reactive to prevention thinking. Register today: https://ergonomicshelp.com/infographic/ On September 23rd join this free live training and learn the exact system ergonomists are using to build their list, get referred more, and stop undercharging for work that deserves more.  https://ergonomicshelp.com/infographic/

​The Responsibility in Firearms Legislation Act would require gunmakers to contribute to a state fund that would help offset the costs paid by taxpayers and the people directly affected by a shooting. ​Under the Act, a manufacturer would only be on the hook financially if one of its guns is used in a firearm injury or death in Illinois. Gun violence costs Illinois about 20-billion-dollars a year, according to estimates based on data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If passed, Illinois' Responsibility in Firearms Legislation Act would be a first of its kind in the nation.

A quarter century after 9/11, the health of those who responded to the attacks continues to be affected.Some 3,000 people died across three locations that day. An estimated 400,000 people were exposed to toxic contaminants and risked physical injury in the hours and days that followed. That's according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Since the dust and debris have settled, more than 96,000 have been diagnosed with physical and mental health conditions related to 9/11.In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, establishing the World Trade Center Health Program and reopening the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund. Today, more than 150,000 people are enrolled in the program.But that program wouldn't exist without the advocacy of survivors and first responders who put their bodies and lives on the line following the attacks. How did that fight for care unfold?For more information about the Rutgers WTC Health Program, click here. And to learn more about applying, click here.Find more of our programs online.

Join us for a FREE live Q&A with Dr. Salcedo on September 10 at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET and ask her your questions directly. Register here.What if the uterus is an end organ, responding to insulin and inflammation the same way the heart, kidneys, and liver do?Dr. Andréa Salcedo is a board-certified OBGYN (DO, MPH, FACOG) and associate professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine whose research and clinical practice, which she calls conscious gynecology, examine gynecologic disease through a metabolic lens.In this episode she walks through the evidence that uterine fibroids share progenitor cells with atherosclerotic plaque, why she now teaches residents that fibroids are cardiovascular disease of the uterus, and how high insulin acts at the level of the brain stem to block ovulation. The conversation also covers her clinical observations on fasting insulin thresholds by body type, the renaming of PCOS to PMOS, what hormonal contraceptives do and do not treat, the role of chronic stress and adversity in gynecologic disease, and the four insulin-resistant transitions of a woman's life.Questions Answered in This Episode:Why are uterine fibroids being reframed as cardiovascular disease of the uterus?Can the menstrual cycle function as a metabolic vital sign?How does insulin, acting as a stress hormone, shut down ovulation?Is there an optimal fasting insulin for reproductive health, and does body type change the answer?What does the shift from PCOS to PMOS change for diagnosis and treatment?What happens to insulin resistance in perimenopause, and was the Women's Health Initiative misread?Viewers will come away with a physiological framework that treats heavy periods, fibroids, irregular cycles, and PCOS as early signals of metabolic dysfunction rather than isolated hormone problems.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Genova Connect: Get 15% off any Genova Connect test kit with code METABOLICLINK here. ✅ Cowboy Colostrum: Get 25% off your entire order with code METABOLIC here. ✅ Zocdoc: Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here. ✅ fatty15: Get 15% off a 90-day starter kit with code METABOLICLINK here.More LinksLive Q&A with Dr. Salcedo, September 10, 9:00 AM PT (free): register hereDr. Salcedo's website: consciousgynecology.comDr. Salcedo on YouTube: @consciousgynecologistDr. Salcedo on Instagram: @consciousgynecologistPaper: The uterus is an end organ: a preliminary study of the association between abnormal uterine bleeding and hyperinsulinemia (Menopause, 2025)Paper: Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction as a Metabolic Modality for the Prevention and Treatment of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (Nutrients, 2023)Dr. Salcedo is speaking on chronic stress, adversity, and gynecologic health at the Ketogenic Foundation conferenceThe Metabolic Initiative (expert lectures, CME, ad-free episodes, live Q&As; first 7 days free): membership.metabolicinitiative.comIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Send us Fan MailDisclosure: Dr. Wanda Barfield appeared on this episode in her personal capacity. The views she expresses are her own and do not represent the official positions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, or the United States government.The American Academy of Pediatrics has never had a neonatologist as president. This September, that could change. In this special episode, Ben sits down with Dr. Wanda Barfield, neonatologist, retired Rear Admiral and Assistant Surgeon General in the US Public Health Service, and longtime director of the CDC's Division of Reproductive Health, to hear what she would bring to the role. She lays out her three priorities, supporting pediatricians, protecting access, and leading with science and equity, and addresses the questions our field is wrestling with right now: training, staffing, the erosion of trust in science, and whether neonatology should go it alone. Her answer is that we are stronger together, and that having a neonatologist at the helm of the AAP would give our specialty a voice it has never had. Voting is open to AAP members through September 16. Meet the candidate, then go vote.

In this episode of the Podcast, Dr. David Puder sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Katie Unverferth, Director of the UCLA Women's Life Center and Medical Director of the UCLA Maternal Mental Health Program, to clarify the critical differences between common postpartum intrusive thoughts of infant harm, postpartum OCD, and true postpartum psychosis. They discuss how nearly all new mothers experience ego-dystonic thoughts of accidental or intentional harm, how to screen without triggering concealment, when severity and compulsions cross into OCD, the role of high-dose SSRIs plus exposure and response prevention (ERP), red-flag signs of ego-syntonic content, agitation, insomnia, and delirium-like states that signal psychosis, and the strong evidence for lithium prophylaxis and acute treatment in high-risk patients.    Link to blog Link to YouTube video

Today we are diving into a topic that is incredibly close to my heart—one that has the potential to fundamentally change how we approach prenatal care and protect pregnant patients. We're talking about low-dose aspirin for the prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Now, if you follow current formal guidelines, you probably know the standard protocol: 81 milligrams a day, prescribed based on specific risk factors. But there's a growing body of evidence suggesting we might be underdosing—and under-prescribing. What if 162 milligrams taken universally across the board is actually far more effective?In today's episode, we're unpacking a brand-new, groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. And I'm especially excited to cover this one because it comes straight out of my alma mater, Parkland Hospital! This study takes a bold look at real-world outcomes by comparing a period of universal 162-milligram aspirin use directly against a historical period when aspirin wasn't recommended at all. Did a higher, universal dose significantly cut down on hypertensive disorders? And just as importantly …were there any adverse safety events we need to be aware of? Grab your coffee, settle in, and let's get into the details.1. Duryea E, Ambia A, Pruszynski J. et al. Universal Aspirin Dispensation for Prevention of Preeclampsia in a High-Risk Population.

This podcast provides tips and scripts for talking to kids about suicide. What are the risk factors? What are the protective factors? And what should we say if a child seems that they are hopeless, helpless or have said that they are thinking about ending their life. This is an uncomfortable topic- but one that we should and need to discuss. The post How to Talk to Kids about Suicide Risk and Prevention with Jonathan B. Singer – ReRelease appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

In this episode, Brian explains the distinction between primary and secondary headaches and breaks down the defining features of the "big three" primary headache types (migraine, cluster, and tension headache)—highlighting how often they are misdiagnosed and how they are treated. He explores the epidemiology of headaches, describing migraine as an invisible disease affecting about 12% of the population, disproportionately affecting women, while cluster headaches more often affect men. He discusses the major gap between demand for headache care and available specialists, and he offers advice on when to see a physician. Brian dives into the multifactorial nature and pathophysiology of migraine, including genetic and hormonal influences, neurovascular changes, and inflammatory signaling, and connects these mechanisms to modern therapies. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the individualized nature of headache disorders and the importance of a detailed headache diary. Brian shares practical strategies for treating headaches including lifestyle changes, medications, and neuromodulation devices.
