Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's fascination with brain health and human psychology began with a personal question: why do people perceive the same world so differently? After growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia, she dedicated her life to understanding the brain. At age 37, she suffered a massive stroke and watched her brain shut down in real time. That experience gave her rare insight into how the brain truly works. In this episode, Dr. Jill shares her whole-brain framework and explains how understanding our four brain characters can transform how we think, feel, and show up in life and business. In this episode, Hala and Dr. Jill will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:51) Childhood Curiosity About the Human Brain (10:14) Experiencing a Stroke at Age 37 (20:38) Warning Signs and Prevention of Stroke (25:13) Watching Her Brain Shut Down (33:45) The Four Brain Characters (44:05) Debunking Left vs. Right Brain Myths (51:19) Whole-Brain Thinking for Entrepreneurs (53:57) Why Society Is Left-Brain Dominant (1:04:24) Can You Control Your Brain? (1:09:25) Habits to Activate the Right Brain Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist, bestselling author, and adjunct lecturer in anatomy, cell biology, and physiology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. She is the national spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center and is best known for her 2008 TED Talk and memoir, My Stroke of Insight. For her groundbreaking contributions to modern brain science, Dr. Jill was named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World.

He explains what obicetrapib is and how it works, revisits the history of CETP inhibitors and why earlier versions of these drugs failed—sometimes dramatically—and breaks down the key clinical trials designed to evaluate their impact on cardiovascular risk. Peter examines how obicetrapib influences major lipid biomarkers, including LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], and discusses emerging evidence from a study that explored the drug's effects on Alzheimer's-related blood biomarkers. He also highlights intriguing findings in individuals carrying the APOE4 allele and reflects on what these early results may mean for both cardiovascular disease prevention and potential implications for Alzheimer's risk, as well as how he is thinking about this therapy in the context of caring for his own patients. We discuss: Introducing obicetrapib: CETP inhibitor history, lipid biology, and early Alzheimer's biomarker signals in APOE4 carriers [2:15]; CETP biology explained: lipoproteins, reverse cholesterol transport, and how CETP inhibition alters HDL and LDL particles [5:15]; The early CETP inhibitor story: why raising HDL cholesterol alone failed to deliver cardiovascular protection [13:45]; The rise and fall of early CETP inhibitors: torcetrapib, dalcetrapib, evacetrapib, and anacetrapib [18:30]; Why obicetrapib may succeed where earlier CETP inhibitors failed [23:30]; The BROADWAY trial: obicetrapib's effects on LDL, ApoB, Lp(a), and residual cardiovascular risk [26:00]; Brain lipid metabolism and APOE4: how CETP inhibition may influence cholesterol transport in Alzheimer's disease [30:45]; Findings from the substudy of the BROADWAY trial which looked at changes in biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease [40:00]; Interpreting the BROADWAY Alzheimer's biomarker results: limitations, cautious optimism, and the need for a dedicated prevention trial [46:45]; Why Peter is optimistic about obicetrapib: cardiovascular benefits, Lp(a) reduction, and the path toward approval [50:00]; and More.

Recovery is possible, and it's probable. Poison Prevention Educators talk to students and communities about substance abuse prevention. Opioid use disorder has many possible entry points, including using pain killers from surgery or dental work, experimentation, and accidental use. Pharmacists have the opportunity to counsel on proper use and storage of MOUD. Counsel to take oral doses in private, so vulnerable individuals cannot see. Vulnerable individuals, like children or DD adults want to imitate the behavior of others. Avoid medication errors. Remove distractions while taking or giving medications, and read the label every time. Keep a personal MAR, if needed, to remember if a dose has been taken.  If a medication error happens, get help (Poison Help or 9-1-1), forgive yourself, and continue your road to recovery.  Narcan is import for anyone in recovery from opioid addiction to have. But, a person experiencing an OD will be unable to give themselves Narcan. Make sure your patients educate the people around them about what Narcan is, when to use it, and how to administer it.  As a general rule, counsel on calling 9-1-1 after giving a dose of Narcan. It can wear off.  Pharmacists should counsel on risks of keeping MOUD in the home: accidental use by a curious, opioid-naive child, confusion with other meds, accidental second dose, etc. Call Poison Help right away with exposure concerns, but skip right to 9-1-1 if the person is not breathing, unconscious, or having a seizure.  Poison Center Staff are experts in poison information. They help healthcare professionals and the general public with questions. If you call, you're in good hands. Adults of all ages may be in recovery. It's not just a health condition for young people.  Get Poison Help Line magnets for your pharmacy, and share them with your patients. If you need some magnets, call 1-800-222-1222.  March is Poison Prevention Month in the United States. National Poison Prevention Week in the US is March 15-21, 2026, and the theme is, "When the unexpected happens, Poison Help is here for you." There is a partner toolkit with images and talking points on https://piper.filecamp.com/s/i/OOt8k1JlBFCc08KH  A complete health history is important. Ask about recovery. Include "in recovery from opioid addiction" as a health condition at the pharmacy and with medical providers.  Advise patients to inscribe, "Do not give opioids" on medic alert jewelry. Similar advice, advise patient to include "do not give opioids" in the "health app" on their smartphone in case of emergency. Pharmacists (this is a tough one). If you see something, say something. Protect your patient's recovery. If something on your prescription monitoring program suggests that your patient is in recovery, but they are trying to fill prescriptions for opioids, protect their recovery. Maybe a well-meaning dentist, doctor, or surgeon wrote a prescription and didn't know the whole story. Or, maybe your patient wants to relapse. If you see something, say something, even if it feels awkward. Prevent relapses and maybe overdoses with patients who have a lower tolerance for opioids.  Be skeptical of natural products and supplements that have been promised to help with opioid withdrawal.  Terminology matters. Know your audience, and reflect their preferred language back to them. Avoid terms that are stigmatizing, like "junkie." When in doubt, ask the person you're speaking with how they prefer to call themselves.    Kim's websites and social media links: ✅ Guest Application Form (The Pharmacist's Voice Podcast) https://bit.ly/41iGogX  ✅ Monthly email newsletter sign-up link https://bit.ly/3AHJIaF  ✅ LinkedIn Newsletter https://bit.ly/40VmV5B ✅ Business website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com ✅ The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast ✅ Pronounce Drug Names Like a Pro © Online Course https://www.kimnewlove.com  ✅ Pharmacist Podcaster Book https://amzn.to/4iAKNBs  ✅ Podcasting Online Course https://www.kimnewlove.com/podcasting  ✅ Private Podcasting Coaching or Consulting https://www.kimnewlove.com/private-coaching  ✅ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimnewlove ✅ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kim.newlove.96 ✅ Twitter https://twitter.com/KimNewloveVO ✅ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kimnewlovevo/ ✅ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA3UyhNBi9CCqIMP8t1wRZQ ✅ ACX (Audiobook Narrator Profile) https://www.acx.com/narrator?p=A10FSORRTANJ4Z ✅ Start a podcast with my coach, Dave Jackson from The School of Podcasting!

Send a textWhen Yvette Raphael walked into a stakeholder meeting in Kigali in 2019 and asked Gilead's lead researcher, "What are you going to do differently?", she was doing her job. As co-founder of Advocacy for Prevention of HIV in Africa and chair of the Global Community Advisory Board for the PURPOSE 1 trial, Yvette has spent decades ensuring that women most affected by HIV are not just research subjects, but architects of the science designed to protect them.In this episode, she tells the inside story of lenacapavir, Science magazine's 2024 Breakthrough of the Year, from the community trust-building that made the PURPOSE trials possible, to the moment at AIDS 2024 when results showing 100% efficacy brought a room of scientists to their feet.But Yvette is clear: a breakthrough is only a breakthrough if it reaches the people who need it. With PEPFAR funding under threat and rollout decisions being made without community voices, she pulls no punches on what accountability from science, pharma, and governments must actually look like.To support us, consider becoming a paid subscriber on Patreon or making a one-time donation via PayPal.

White crust tracing your waterline or caking your spa spillway isn't a mystery—it's chemistry meeting heat and evaporation. We unpack what's actually sticking to your tile, how to tell calcium carbonate from calcium silicate with a quick acid test, and why that difference changes everything for removal time, cost, and results. If you've ever cleaned for hours only to see the ring return, this is your field guide to fixing the source and not just the symptom.We start with the real drivers: LSI balance, high pH and alkalinity, rising water temperature, and hard fill water. Then we map a decision tree for action. Light carbonate haze? Use topical tile cleaners like Biodex 300 or Hasa Geyser, brush often, and protect coping and plaster. Moderate buildup? Add chelation and sequestration with Orenda SC-1000 to bind calcium and metals, and consider EasyCare Buildup and Scale Tec on surfaces to lift deposits for easier brushing. Heavy crust or zero reaction to acid? It's likely silicate—skip the endless scrubbing and plan for professional bead blasting or soda media blasting to restore the tile fast and clean.We also get tactical about manual methods that actually work when used right. Pumice is slow but safe on porcelain. Sharp razor blades, kept wet, can peel thick spillway scale quickly. Fine 400-grit wet/dry sandpaper can level stubborn ridges, with a careful hand. Prevention ties it all together: keep LSI in a non-scaling range, dose SC-1000 for maintenance, and brush the waterline weekly. If chronic scale still wins in hard-water regions, a device like AquaRex can reduce adhesion by changing crystal formation, especially on hot, wet spillways.• causes of scale from high pH, alkalinity, calcium and heat• acid test to distinguish carbonate vs silicate• light, moderate, heavy carbonate levels and fixes• topical cleaners and safe handling cautions• sequestrants and chelants for ongoing control• manual removal with pumice, razors, wet sanding• when to hire glass bead blasting• balancing LSI for prevention• tile materiSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don't get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: CHOOSE SELF-CARE. Self-care and compassion make such a difference, but sometimes we back off from them because we don't want to disappoint others. Think about the last time somebody modeled self-care and how you reacted. Try an act of self-care yourself.WHO ARE YOU NOW? Where are you getting stuck in old stories? Who are you now? I was once really dogmatic about food. It served me well at the time, but now, not so much. Are the decisions you would have made a decade ago that feel different now? Slow down and look at the boundaries and decisions in your life now. Are you working from an old story?CHECK OUT SKINNY60.

More To The Story: In January, the federal government released updated dietary guidelines for Americans that reimagine the nation's longtime food pyramid by literally turning it upside down. The guidelines, which once prioritized foods like grains while minimizing fats, now recommend red meat, whole milk, proteins, and healthy fats. It's one of the most unmistakable ways that US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has brought the Make America Healthy Again movement into the federal government. Over the last year, RFK Jr. has reshaped the country's vaccine advisory committee with vaccine skeptics, fired thousands of employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, and revised the CDC's stance on the unfounded link between vaccines and autism. The moves, often influenced and cheered by folks in the MAHA movement, are ones that infectious disease epidemiologist Jessica Malaty Rivera says are not merely misguided, but dangerous. On this week's More To The Story, Rivera examines how Big Ag has influenced the nation's latest dietary guidelines, whether the US is on the cusp of a national measles outbreak, and why the CDC dropping vaccine recommendations could have potentially long-term and deadly consequences.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Measles Cases This Year Near 1,000.

Medical professionals and sports journalists have zeroed in on a problem that appears to affect women athletes at higher rates than men: ACL injuries. There's another trend in the data, as the Minnesota Star Tribune and New York Times recently pointed out. High school athletes are tearing their ACLs at higher rates than before, especially in girls' sports. A study by the National ACL Injury Coalition suggested the rates of serious knee injuries increased 32.3 percent in girls' sports over the 15 years between 2007 and 2022. That's almost double the 14.5 percent increase the study found in boys' sports. The ACL is a ligament that helps hold the knee in place. An injury usually means the end of an athlete's season; sometimes, it means surgery. For young athletes, it can also have particular social, emotional and economic impacts.For more, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Jill Monson, lead physical therapist for the Complex Knee Injury Clinic at Twin Cities Orthopedics in Eagan.

Parkinson's is not a function of aging, it is not a genetic disease and it is a human caused disease that is entirely preventable. That's what the research is showing and what Parkinson's expert and advocate Dr Ray Dorsey is on a mission to communicate to the world. Parkinson's disease is the downstream effect of the indiscriminate, criminal and unnecessary use of neurotoxic chemicals we are spraying on our food, spraying on our sport fields, using in our dry-cleaning and breathing in the air. Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist, researcher, and internationally recognized leader in Parkinson's disease care, prevention, and health-care innovation. He holds a BS from Stanford University and a joint MD/MBA from the University of Pennsylvania (Perelman School of Medicine and Wharton).

In this conversation, host Julie DeNofa sits down with Kathy Posey, Paige Butler, and Kim Robbins, three inspiring women serving on the Montgomery County Overdose Prevention Endeavor Board (M-COPE) Kathy and Kim, Co-Founders of M-COPE, share their personal stories of losing a child to addiction and how, after four moms met through the GRASP grief group ( Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) after losing their children to accidental overdose, they realized the need for spreading awareness around the disease of addiction.  Paige also shares her journey through a different perspective of loving a child who is now in recovery from substance use disorder. With their stories, Kathy, Paige, and Kim are now turning their pain into purpose in helping other families heal.  The mission at M-COPE is to collaborate with individuals, communities, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about substance use disorder and the alarming rise in overdose and drug-related deaths in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Their efforts are grounded in four key pillars: education, awareness, prevention, and remembrance.   Through this approach, they shine a light on the growing drug crisis, work to end the stigma surrounding substance use, and advocate for those currently in need of support as well as for those who can no longer speak for themselves.  Topics Discussed: Advice for parents and families learning to navigate grief after overdose loss The importance of remembering loved ones beyond their addiction Recognizing that everyone grieves differently and giving others more grace Understanding emotional triggers and grief waves after loss Why volunteer-driven organizations play a critical role in community recovery How overdose awareness and prevention efforts are helping communities — CHAPTERS:  00:00 Purpose From Pain - Introduction to MCOPE 03:33 Meet Kathy Posey, Kim Robbins, and Paige Bulter 08:04 What M-Cope is and the Four Pillars: Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Rememberance 11:06 Volunteering, Community Partners, and Supporting Newly Bereaved 15:39 Grief Advice For Families: Connection, Caregiving, Healing, and Support  23:10 Recognizing Grief Waves and Triggers and Finding Joy Again 28:47 Honoring Loved Ones Who Lost Their Lives to Addiction 30:39 The Hope of Recovery  33:52 M-COPE Outreach through Blessing Bags, Narcan Outreach, Scholarships And Community Impact 39:11 Recovery Community Resources — Connect with M-Cope online:  Website: https://mcope.org/  Scholarship: https://mcope.org/scholarship/  Volunteer Opportunities: https://mcope.org/support/#volunteer  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mocope/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=SDyLMs2NFChqDsne&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fg%2F1DCtwm4WSp%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

In this special edition of the Prevention Leaders Podcast, Dave sits down with his good friends Nicole Augustine and Rikki Barton to unpack the Prevention Core Competencies curriculum—why it was created, what gaps it fills in the prevention workforce, and why it's not just for “prevention professionals,” but for anyone who cares about building safer, healthier communities.They dig into what's inside the training (in-person and virtual), how the curriculum supports workforce development and prevention advocacy, and why the Train-the-Trainer (ToT) experience is intentionally different than most ToTs in the field—especially with a big emphasis on facilitation skills and classroom management.They also explore the “social entrepreneur” angle: how becoming a certified trainer can build local capacity and create sustainable revenue streams for individuals, agencies, and organizations.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Prevention Core Competencies exists (and what it adds beyond SAPST + Ethics)The origin story: SAMHSA, the PTTCs, and the development/pilot processWhy this curriculum is for both prevention professionals and community membersHow the training strengthens prevention “why” and helps communities choose more effective strategiesIn-person vs virtual delivery: why they're not interchangeable (and why that matters)What makes this ToT different (hybrid approach + real facilitation skill-building)Practical classroom management: navigating over-talkers, over-sharers, disengaged participants, and resistance3How the curriculum can support workforce development, advocacy, and communication with decision-makersThe entrepreneurship and sustainability angle: offering the training, charging appropriately, and building ROIFuture Proof + intrapreneurship: creating new revenue streams inside prevention organizationsLinks & ResourcesRegister for the May 2026 Prevention Core Competencies ToTContact NicoleContact RikkiNicole's book Be Great (Amazon)

Back pain is one of the most common causes of reduced mobility and loss of independence as we age. In this episode, spine surgeon Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo explains the causes of back and neck pain, when conservative treatment is appropriate, and when spine surgery may become the best option for restoring mobility and quality of life. Chronic back and neck often trigger fear. Many people assume pain is inevitable, that surgery always leads to long downtime, or that recovery means permanent limitation. In this episode, we explore modern advances in spine care, recovery, and how the right mindset and preparation can help people reclaim movement, confidence, and independence at any age. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo is a board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal and orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, with offices across New York and New Jersey.

A healthcare CEO once told former CDC Director, Dr. Tom Frieden, he had "a fiduciary responsibility not to provide good diabetes care" because the ROI takes 7 years and patients leave after 4. That's not a villain talking. That's our system working exactly as designed, without preventive medicine.Dr. Tom Frieden ran the CDC under President Obama, served as New York City Health Commissioner, and now leads Resolve to Save Lives, a global nonprofit working in 50+ countries. His new book, The Formula for Better Health, lays out why the U.S. spends $4.5 trillion a year on healthcare, gets the most basic things right less than half the time, and what it takes to fix it.You'll discover:✅ Why preventing heart attacks actually costs providers money, and the one system (Kaiser Permanente) where that's flipped✅ How 100 million Americans lack primary care, and why tripling primary care spending could reduce total Medicare costs✅ The "See, Believe, Create" formula that has already saved millions of lives globally✅ Why Dr. Frieden says "it is now malpractice not to care for a patient with an AI as part of the team"✅ The 7-1-7 accountability system now used by 50 countries to find and stop disease outbreaks✅ How a $5 copay on preventive medication measurably increases heart attacks and strokes✅ The six specific health measures Dr. Frieden says matter most (with exact target numbers)✅ Why misinformation is the most lethal health threat: "a fire hose of falsehoods driven by the monetization of misinformation"⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 A healthcare CEO's shocking confession about diabetes care0:45 Why the U.S. healthcare system is designed to fail2:10 Primary care: the most neglected piece of American healthcare4:28 Economic incentives that punish prevention6:43 Kaiser Permanente's capitation model and why it works9:44 CVS, concierge medicine, and halfway solutions13:20 Who can fix a system where no one is accountable?14:49 The "See, Believe, Create" formula explained19:08 Measles outbreaks and the misinformation crisis24:05 AI in healthcare: enormous potential, bad judgment34:18 What's happened to the CDC and vaccine infrastructure40:56 The 7-1-7 outbreak accountability system44:39 Why other countries get better results for less money47:39 The Big 6: personal health targets everyone should know53:11 Dr. Frieden's prescription for policymakers and healthcare leaders

Welcome back everyone to another panel session. In light of all the stories of extreme weather and emergencies around the Iberian peninsula and other parts of Europe in the past months, we're going to take a closer look at the realities on the ground for our farmers. These storms and floods are becoming more and more common and frequent, and though we've talked in the past about the need to adapt to an increasingly erratic climate, these points of catastrophe are an essential part of the conversation. In this session we'll hear from three farmers in Iberia and their experiences of enduring the constant storms and service interruptions of the past months. We'll also explore how they are recovering from the disasters, how they plan to mitigate these events in the future, as well as a longer term view towards adaptation in the face of increasing frequency of events like this. In order to get a deeper sense of the impacts and challenges brought by the storms, flooding and erosion that our panelists experienced on their farms, I encouraged them to share pictures and videos of their land in the aftermath. Obviously these images can't be conveyed over audio, so if you want to see what we were looking at in the introductions, you can see the video version of the panel session on the Climate Farmer's YouTube channel or through the links in the resources page on our website at ClimateFarmers.org. So with all that out of the way, let's jump into this month's session.

Episode 127 Rural Health on the Front Lines: Dr. Manny Sethi on Access, Private Equity, and Prevention In Episode 127 of DC EKG, Joe Grogan sits down with Dr. Manny Sethi of Vanderbilt and Healthy Tennessee to talk about what rural health looks like up close and what policy changes could actually improve access. Dr. Sethi shares his story growing up in small town Tennessee as the son of immigrant physicians, then training as an orthopedic traumatologist and treating high-energy injuries that often collide with chronic disease and limited access to care. The conversation centers on why rural communities struggle to find primary care and specialists, how administrative burden and electronic medical record requirements can crush independent practices, and why private equity and large systems buying clinics can reduce real access for patients. Dr. Sethi also explains how Healthy Tennessee built a volunteer, community-based model of prevention through health fairs that screen hundreds to thousands of people, partner with food banks, and connect high-risk patients to follow-up care. If you care about rural healthcare, access to care, private equity in medicine, physician shortages, preventative care, EHR burden, Medicaid, Medicare, and community health, this episode is a practical look at what is broken and what can be done. In This Conversation Joe and Dr. Sethi cover: Dr. Sethi's background and why he returned to Tennessee to practice trauma care Why Healthy Tennessee was created and how prevention can reduce downstream costs and complications How volunteer health fairs work, who shows up, and why many attendees now have insurance but still cannot get appointments The role of insurers, employers, food banks, and community partners in scaling prevention and screening How private equity consolidation can narrow access and accelerate monopolies in rural markets Policy ideas that could move clinicians to rural communities, including better reimbursement and stronger incentives Timestamps (Audio platforms) 0:52 Intro 1:14 Meet Dr. Manny Sethi (Vanderbilt, Healthy Tennessee) 4:38 Why he launched Healthy Tennessee 6:59 Volunteers, screenings, and what the health fairs deliver 12:09 Who shows up and why access is still hard even with insurance 21:51 The biggest rural health problems and the access crunch 24:18 Private equity buying practices and what changes for patients 28:24 What policy fixes could actually move doctors to rural areas 31:41 Follow-up care for uninsured and high-risk patients 34:09 Trauma care realities and why we pay for sickness, not wellness 40:27 Faith, meaning, and why he keeps doing the work Key Takeaways Rural access problems are not only about coverage; they are about workforce, consolidation, and appointment availability. Administrative and EHR burdens can push small practices toward sale, accelerating consolidation. Prevention works when it is local, trusted, and paired with real follow-up pathways. Incentives matter; better rural payments and stronger recruitment tools can move clinicians where they are needed. About Our GuestDr. Manny Sethi is an orthopedic traumatologist at Vanderbilt and co-founder of Healthy Tennessee, a nonprofit he launched with his wife in 2011 to bring prevention and screening to underserved communities through volunteer-driven health fairs and partnerships across the state. --- Show Sponsor: Survivors for Solutions – https://survivorsforsolutions.org Executive Producer: John “CZ” Czwartacki, DC EKG Podcast Producer: Julie Riga, Stay on Course Studios – https://www.stayoncourse.studio

Probiotics. They are often marketed as the end of all and be all for all our health issues. And they CAN do some real good. There is NO DOUBT a connection with overall heath and gut health…and NO ONE can deny that. But probiotics gets grey for some women's health issues. A new prospective, single-arm, non-blinded, multicenter study across 31 hospitals in Japan is making some pretty dramatic claims regarding oral probiotics and recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (ePUB). Can oral probiotics reduce spontaneous recurrent preterm birth? Listen in for details. 1.

Slovakia is considering a potential ban on social media use for children under the age of 15, citing concerns about mental health and online safety. The proposal has sparked debate about whether stricter regulation can truly protect young people in the digital age or whether education and smarter platform rules would be more effective than prohibition. In this programme, we explore the risks children face online, the psychological impact of social media, and whether a legislative ban is a realistic and enforceable solution in Slovakia with IT and cyber security expert Jozef Filko, child psychologist and director of the Private Centre for Counceling and Prevention in Topoľčany Jana Merašická and Slovak Education Minister Tomáš Drucker.

In this episode, host Ross welcomes back Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health and interim Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They dive into the importance of vaccination, particularly in the context of the current measles outbreak. Dr. Bhattacharya shares the official CDC position on childhood vaccines and the risks associated with not vaccinating. They also discuss the challenges of working in government, including navigating bureaucracy and building coalitions. The conversation touches on the role of the NIH and CDC in public health, and how their missions are often misunderstood.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About 10.5 million Americans visit doctors annually for urinary tract infections (UTIs), and global cases rose 66% from 1990 to 2021, totaling 4.49 billion infections worldwide Research found that 18% of UTIs in Southern California came from animal-derived E. coli, with turkey (82%) and chicken (58%) showing the highest contamination rates Contaminated drinking water is an overlooked UTI source, as uropathogenic E. coli strains have been detected in water systems but rarely monitored for urinary infections High-poverty neighborhoods experienced 21.5% zoonotic UTI rates, suggesting limited food access and lower purchasing power increase exposure to contaminated meat products Prevention strategies include choosing grass fed meat from regenerative farms, improving kitchen hygiene, staying hydrated, and using cranberries, D-mannose, or methylene blue for natural bladder protection

Black algae has a way of making even well‑kept pools look defeated. We dig into what it really is—cyanobacteria protected by a stubborn biofilm—why it laughs at normal chlorine levels, and how it burrows into plaster and Pebble Tec where a quick brush won't touch the root. If you've spotted dime‑size black dots that keep coming back, this is your field guide to taking control without trashing your finish.We share a step‑by‑step plan that starts with breaking the biofilm using the right tools: a small stainless steel brush for plaster and Pebble Tec, nylon on fiberglass, plus a stain eraser for tight spots. Then we layer in chemistry the smart way. Chelated copper (like PoolRx) provides steady background pressure, while targeted oxidizers finish the job. You'll learn when granular trichlor is the fastest hammer on plaster, why it can burn colored finishes, and how to use calcium hypochlorite as a safer alternative—especially in cooler water where it lingers on the spot. We explain the tablet‑chunk method for cal hypo, why dichlor dissolves too fast, and how to broadcast without clumping to avoid stains.For extreme infestations, we outline when a drain and chlorine wash beats an acid wash, the real‑world risks to aging plaster, and how commercial pools benefit from a full reset that also addresses high cyanuric acid. Prevention gets equal airtime: keep free chlorine from crashing to zero, hold 5 ppm or more during recovery, maintain chelated copper to deter regrowth, and stop cross‑contamination by dedicating brushes and nets to infected pools. We also highlight the early signs pros catch—pencil‑eraser dots on steps and crevices—so you can act before colonies spread.• black algae as cyanobacteria with protective biofilm• why worn plaster and crevices worsen colonization• cross‑contamination from shared tools and how to avoid it• copper as steady background pressure and limits• trichlor granular for plaster and risks on colored finishes• cal hypo as safer Pebble Tec option, tablet chunk method• when to shock to 30–50 ppm anSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

“We should all be able to look at the numbers and agree that this is not sustainable and that whatever we've been doing is not working. Democrats have had their chance, and Republicans have had their chance, and it's only gotten worse.” — Halle TeccoWarren Buffett called America's healthcare costs “a hungry tapeworm on the American economy.” That tapeworm now devours nearly a fifth of the nation's GDP—and the patient, as always, is on the table. We dedicate today's show to this most perennial of all America's problems, with two guests and two new books that approach the tragi-comedy from different angles.Self-styled innovation wonk Halle Tecco—founder of Rock Health, investor in over fifty digital health companies, professor at Columbia Business School—argues in Massively Better Healthcare that the system is both excessively public and excessively private, a Kafkaesque bureaucracy in which verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the doctors. The result is monopoly medicine on a scale that would have appalled the original trust-busters.This is ultimately an antitrust story. As we've discussed on the show with Tim Wu, Biden's chief antitrust enforcer, the concentration of corporate power is the great unfinished business of American democracy. Tecco makes the case that Big Med is where the trust busters should go next after Big Tech. UnitedHealth is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. So it wasn't exactly shocking when the UnitedHealth CEO was assassinated two years ago. The system isn't broken, Tecco suggests. It's working exactly as designed—just not for patients.Surgeon Robin Blackstone, MD, author of Doctor AI: Reimagining Health. Rebuilding Trust. Delivering Health 4.0, joins us in the second half of the show to offer a view from the front lines. After 30 years as a surgeon, Blackstone confirms everything Tecco diagnoses—and adds a chilling detail of her own: the system is priced entirely for fixing illness, not preventing it. Her prescription is a “triangle of trust” between patient, physician, and AI—with the patient finally owning their own data.Both agree on one thing: every dollar spent on public health saves $14.30 in medical and societal costs. We are all already paying for all the waste. We just need to fix Big Med. But who's going to do it? Tecco says that America is ready for another round of Obamacare politics. But I'm not so sure. Five Takeaways•       Healthcare Is a Tale of Two Civilizations: If you're wealthy, you go to UCSF and get the best care in the world. If you're not, you're one of the 100 million Americans without a regular primary care provider. Healthcare debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A person earning $30,000 in a rural county can expect to live a full decade less than someone earning $100,000 in an affluent suburb.•       The Real Winners Are Monopoly Medicine: Verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the providers. The ACA's profit cap forced them to grow the pie instead of getting more efficient. United is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. Independent pharmacies are closing at the rate of one per day. Rite Aid is bankrupt—the only major chain not owned by a health plan.•       Every $1 in Public Health Saves $14.30: We're already paying for the crisis—in emergency room visits, lost productivity, and disability. We just need to move the safety net upstream. Public health is the only part of the system designed for prevention, yet its share of total health spending has dropped 25% in two decades. The economic case is overwhelming. The political will is not.•       AI Could Break the Information Asymmetry: Patients are already using ChatGPT to diagnose themselves—and sometimes it's saving their lives. One woman caught her own pneumonia because her doctor couldn't see her for a week. But some doctors want to keep the paternalism: one AI tool built on medical journals is restricted to clinicians only because making it available to patients would “piss off the doctors.”•       The System Is Priced for Rescue, Not Health: Everything is loaded to the moment your gallbladder goes bad or your heart gets a blockage. Prevention doesn't get paid for. Both guests agree: we need a massive re-pricing that rewards keeping people healthy, not just treating them when they're sick. That means paying doctors to prevent strokes, not just to fix them. About the GuestsHalle Tecco is the founder of the venture fund Rock Health and an investor in more than fifty digital health companies. She is an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and a course director at Harvard Medical School. Her new book is Massively Better Healthcare: The Innovator's Guide to Tackling Healthcare's Biggest Challenges (Columbia University Press).Robin Blackstone, MD, is a physician, health systems architect, and founder of Blackstone Health.

You've probably heard about migraine prevention, but what does it actually mean? In Part 1 of this two-part Spotlight on Migraine series, host Molly O'Brien sits down with neurologist and headache specialist Dr. Jessica Ailani to break down the basics of migraine prevention. They discuss types of prevention, who should consider preventive treatment, why reducing migraine frequency matters, and how to set realistic goals focused on improving quality of life—not just lowering headache days. Read the transcript at https://www.migrainedisorders.org/pod... Dr. Ailani explains:  When migraine prevention is recommended (often around 5–6 migraine days per month) How to reshape our thoughts around prevention. It's not all about fewer headache days; it's about reducing disability, improving independence, and bettering quality of life. The full range of prevention options What to consider if you're hesitant to start due to side effects, cost, or insurance barriers This is the first part of the Association of Migraine Disorders' two-part series on migraine prevention. In Part 2, we'll dive into specific treatment options and how to tailor a prevention plan to work best for you. *The contents of this video are intended for general informational purposes only and do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode, Duane Osterlind sits down with Dr. Rachel Docekal to discuss the shifting landscape of youth addiction and mental health. With over 40 years of history, the Hanley Foundation is moving beyond the "Just Say No" era into evidence-based prevention that addresses the root causes of use: isolation, digital addiction, and the mental health fallout of the post-COVID world.Key Takeaways The "Double Whammy" of COVID & Smartphones: Dr. Docekal highlights how the combination of pandemic isolation and the rise of social media "highlight reels" has created a surge in anxiety and depression among youth.The Shift in Treatment: For the first time, the Hanley Center has had to dedicate primary beds specifically to mental health (not just detox), reflecting a crisis where substances are often a secondary symptom of internal distress.The THC Trap: They discuss the alarming trend of high-potency marijuana causing psychiatric breaks in young people—and the frightening reality that for some, the cognitive changes may be permanent.Connection Over Correction: The core of the issue is often a loss of "true human connection." From families on phones at dinner to the addictive nature of algorithms, the "nemesis" in the pocket is often the biggest barrier to wellness.Innovative Prevention ProgramsThe Hanley Foundation is pioneering programs that treat students with dignity rather than just discipline.Program FocusReplacing "Zero Tolerance"Instead of suspension/expulsion, students caught using enter a series of counseling sessions that include their parents.Alcohol Literacy ChallengeDe-bunking MythsThis program uses science to show kids that the "positive" effects they expect from alcohol (confidence, better dancing) are actually psychological, not pharmacological.A Note for Parents: The Power of "Just Being"When asked for her #1 piece of advice for parents and educators, Dr. Docekal offered a grounding perspective:"You don't have to have the answer; you just have to have the presence. Just be with your kid. Your job is to listen—not to talk, not to demand, and certainly not to solve."Resources Mentioned in this EpisodePrevention Services: HanleyFoundation.orgTreatment Services: HanleyCenter.orgSupport Hotline: 844-502-HOPE (4673)The Addicted Mind Website: TheAddictedMind.comIf you live in California and are looking for counseling or therapy please check out Novus Mindful Life Counseling and Recovery CenterNovusMindfulLife.comWe want to hear from you.

This episode revisits Dr. Sui Wong's insights on how the eyes are neural tissue that can reveal early signs of brain, vascular, and metabolic issues, and reframes migraine as a common, often invisible neurological condition that causes brain fog and cognitive symptoms. Actionable takeaways include scheduling regular dilated eye exams, stabilizing blood sugar, prioritizing sleep and retinal blood flow, reducing digital strain, and tracking migraine triggers to prevent worsening symptoms. In today's review of EP 342 with Dr. Sui Wong from August 2024, we cover:  • Why the eyes are considered an extension of the brain — and how the retina is neural tissue • How eye exams may provide early insight into overall neurological and vascular health • What drusen are, why small amounts can be age-related, and why monitoring retinal changes matters • The powerful idea that prevention begins before symptoms become severe • Why migraine is not “just a headache,” but a neurological condition affecting 1 in 7 people globally • The hidden symptoms of migraine — including brain fog, mood changes, word-finding difficulty, and cognitive slowing • Why migraine is a leading cause of disability in young women and often goes unrecognized • The connection between blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, and neurological function • Practical ways to support long-term brain health through awareness, monitoring, and daily lifestyle habits • How small, consistent actions build cognitive resilience over time Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies you can apply immediately. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now, Season 15 is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Season 15 Roadmap: Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Phase 3 — Movement, Learning & Cognition Phase 4 — Perception, Emotion & Social Intelligence Phase 5 — Integration, Insight & Meaning PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384[i] — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Episode 385[ii] — Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Episode 387 Sui Wong Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Episode 388 Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety We have reviewed Dr. Baland Jalal where we were reminded that before learning can happen, before curiosity can emerge, before motivation or growth is possible—the brain must feel safe. Then we looked at trauma and relational safety with Dr. Bruce Perry's Book, What Happened to You, and we move onto Dr. Sui Wong, with autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine and brain resilience.

Heart attacks occur every 40 seconds in America, affecting a total of 805,000 people annually. It is characterized by blocked coronary arteries that starve cardiac muscle of blood flow Australian researchers found human hearts can regenerate muscle cells after heart attacks, with preserved cardiac tissue showing 7% to 8% mitosis rates (a measure of cell regeneration activity), though 25% to 50% is needed for full repair Hypoxia, which is the oxygen-deprived state during heart attacks, may also trigger regeneration, similar to how fetal hearts produce new cells in the low-oxygen womb environment Advanced heart failure reduces heart muscle cell renewal dramatically, but patients with mechanical heart pumps showed regeneration rates of 3.1% annually — six times higher than healthy hearts Prevention remains crucial. Strategies such as minimizing linoleic acid consumption, monitoring body fat percentage, engaging in moderate resistance training, and learning to recognize heart attack warning signs increase outcomes
