This week we focus on the Trump Administration's seizure of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro as Ralph welcomes legendary former ambassador, Chas Freeman, who calls it nothing more than a “gas station stick-up.” Then our resident Constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, lays out some of the legal ramifications of the whole affair.Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman was previously a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. In addition to Chinese, Ambassador Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level and can converse in Arabic and several other languages.We have been engaged in murder on the high seas, people who are suspected on flimsy grounds of carrying narcotics. If they are carrying narcotics, it is not to the United States [but] between Venezuela and Trinidad, from which the drugs go to Western Europe and West Africa. We have been guilty of acts of piracy, seizing vessels on the high seas, on the basis of no authority. And (very dangerously) we have seized a Russian-flagged tanker…And we are risking a war with a nuclear-armed superpower over an issue that is peripheral to Venezuela.Ambassador Chas FreemanDomestically, we have a constitutional crisis. We are the most powerful country on the planet, and our domestic constitutional crisis has turned out to be contagious to the international system. And so we're seeing the disappearance of well-established norms of human behavior, interactions between states. It will not be easy to resurrect those. The precedents we've just set could come home to trouble us.Ambassador Chas FreemanI think we have scared everybody around the world. If there is no protection from international law, people will arm themselves as heavily as they can to defend themselves. So diplomacy is not prospering in this environment. And I would just conclude by saying that the Trump administration has more than decimated our diplomatic service. About one third of the diplomatic service has left or is in the process of leaving public service of the government. So they join scientists and engineers in trying to bail out from what they consider to be an increasingly intolerable situation. Not a happy picture.Ambassador Chas FreemanBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.The fact is, if you read the NATO Charter Article 5—I think right now we've got 32 members of NATO, and 31 countries would be obliged to take up war and arms against the United States. [The United States' intervention in Venezuela] is an invasion. It's every bit as much of an invasion as Hitler going into the Sudetenland after Munich. Everybody knows this isn't going to be a voluntary secession. If it isn't by military conquest, it'll be by coercion, by threats. So we may be at war with all the other NATO members. That's why I liken this to the Napoleonic Era when France and Napoleon were against all of Europe. He had no allies anymore, and I think we will have no allies either. Bruce FeinNews 1/9/25* Our top story this week is, of course, the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Maduro, who has served as president of the Bolivarian Republic since 2013, was abducted from his home, along with his wife, by the Fort Bragg-based Delta Force squadron. Maduro was then transported to New York and is now being held in detention pending trial. Before getting into the fallout of this operation, it is critical to note the complicity of the mainstream press. Semafor reports, “The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew.” The preeminent American newspapers justified their decision to withhold this critical information from the public by claiming that publishing what they knew could have endangered American soldiers. This decision however raises longstanding questions about what the role of the media should be in national security matters. Is it their responsibility to protect American forces as they carry out legally dubious missions? Or is it their responsibility to inform the public of their own government's shadowy operations if they might endanger all Americans?* Meanwhile, the future of Venezuela appears deeply uncertain. Despite pressure from the Venezuelan exile community to install one of their own to lead the country, such as Maria Corina Machado, Trump has shown little interest in this path, saying Machado “doesn't have the support within or the respect within the country,” per Reuters. Instead, he has so far supported the elevation of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. Rodríguez, who has been “likened…to a sort of Venezuelan Deng Xiaoping,” according to NBC, has sought to court Trump in the past and it seems that for the time being at least, he is content to keep her in place so long as she is willing to accede to the demands of the American oil companies.* Whatever the long-term outlook for Venezuela in general, this incident is sure to have certain short-term consequences. At the administration level, this operation was seen as a rousing success and is likely to embolden them to attempt similar operations in other countries deemed adversarial. The Hill reports Trump said “Colombia…[is] Run by a sick man,” referring to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, but won't be for “very long.” Similarly, he remarked that “We're going to have to do something [about Mexico].” Cuba, he said, is “ready to fall.” South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, traveling with Trump, added that Cuba's days are “numbered.” It remains to be seen how far Trump will go with regime change operations in these sovereign nations, but the success of the Maduro abduction makes each one – and the inevitable blowback from these actions – that much more likely.* Beyond Latin America, Trump is again pressing for an American annexation of Greenland. According to the BBC, the administration is discussing “a range of options” including military force. Ironically, the White House is claiming that the acquisition of Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of Denmark – is a “national security priority,” despite Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's warning that any attack would mean the end of NATO, rattling the foundations of U.S. international security architecture. Nevertheless, Trump has continuously returned to the idea of annexing Greenland, so do not count on this quietly fading away, consequences be damned.* Moving to domestic politics, the AP reports the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the private entity created in 1967 to shepherd public funding to PBS, NPR and hundreds of public television and radio stations across the country, has voted to dissolve itself. The CPB has been under heavy assault by the Trump administration, which pushed Congress to defund the entity last year. Patricia Harrison, the organization's president and CEO, is quoted saying “CPB's final act would be to protect the integrity of the public media system and the democratic values by dissolving, rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.” With the shuttering of CPB, the future of public media hangs in the balance. It will be up to the next Congress to restore funding, or allow these cherished institutions to fall into the dustbin of history.* Alongside the federal assault on public media, the federal government continues its assaults on public health. The New York Times reports Jim O'Neill, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has “announced dramatic revisions to the slate of vaccines recommended for American children,” drawing down the number from 17 to just 11. The six vaccines on the chopping block, those for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus – which, the Times notes, is the “leading cause of hospitalization in American infants,” – will only be recommended for some high-risk groups. Meanwhile, the New York Post reports Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, has unveiled new federal guidelines recommending alcohol use. Dr. Oz is quoted saying “Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together…it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize, and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way.” He added that the takeaway should be, “Don't have it for breakfast.” Given the well documented health risks of alcohol consumption, it is difficult to see this as anything besides a sop to the alcohol industry.* In more local news, the primary race between incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman and former Comptroller Brad Lander in New York's 10th congressional district is turning into nothing short of a proxy war between different factions within the Democratic Party. Goldman, who officially announced his reelection bid this week, was immediately endorsed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, per the New York Daily News. Lander on the other hand, can boast the endorsement of Mayor Zohran Mamdani along with support from Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, among other local progressives, per ABC7. With so much political muscle on both sides, this primary is sure to have important ramifications for the future direction of the Democratic Party.* For his part, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running. On January 5th, Mamdani signed Executive Orders No. 9, on combatting hidden junk fees, and No. 10 on fighting subscription tricks and traps. Among other things, these executive orders will Establish a Citywide Junk Fee Task Force, to be cochaired by Deputy Mayor of Economic Justice and former Biden Administration Secretary of Labor Julie Su. This announcement ends with a message stating that Mayor Mamdani “takes the protection of New York consumers and tenants seriously,” citing his recent “executive order to hold ‘Rental Ripoff' hearings in every borough,” which will “provide an opportunity for working New Yorkers to speak about the challenges they face – from poor building conditions to hidden fees on rent payments,” to be followed by a report and policy recommendations. This all from NYC.gov.* A fascinating new poll has been released by “Speaking with American Men,” also known as the SAM Project, which seeks to understand young American men of various backgrounds. One startling number from this study is that 31% report having been homeless or near-homeless in the past five years. In more direct political findings though, only 27% say Trump is delivering for them, and slightly less, 25%, say Republicans are delivering. However, despite these abysmal numbers, just 18% say Democrats are delivering for them. Clearly, while young men are not joined at the hip to the Republican Party, the Democrats have a long way to go to win them back and won't get there without profoundly changing their approach to courting this key voting bloc.* Finally, the battle between Netflix and Paramount over corporate control of Warner Bros. Discovery continues to drag on. This week, WB announced they would formally reject Paramount's latest bid, their eighth so far, arguing that it is inferior to Netflix's proposal, citing the “extraordinary amount of incremental debt,” Paramount would have to incur in order to take over the larger company. This is estimated to be over $50 million. Although Paramount's hostile bid is higher per share than Netflix's offer, Paramount's bid includes WB's cable assets, such as CNN, which the company believes will be worth more if spun off from the rest of the company. This from CNN itself. Meanwhile, Paramount – led by the Ellison family – is calling in political favors on their behalf. In a letter to the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, Paramount Chief Legal Officer Makan Delrahim, who led the Antitrust Division of the DOJ under Trump 2017-2021, accused the proposed Netflix WB merger of being “presumptively unlawful,” because it would “further cement [Netflix's] dominance in streaming video on demand,” per Deadline. Congress cannot directly block a merger or acquisition, that power rests with the DOJ, but it does possess oversight power in that realm and can exert pressure to this end. Given the high stakes of this fight, expect all parties to call in their chits on Capitol Hill and in the administration in order to win the big prize.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

"Referring patients to audiology early on has shown dramatic reduction in hearing loss or complications because the audiologist can really see where were they at before they started chemotherapy, where were they at during, if they get an audiogram during their treatment. And then after treatment, it's really important for them to see an audiologist because this is really a survivorship journey for them. And as nurses, the 'so what': We are the first line of defense," ONS member Jennessa Rooker, PhD, RN, OCN®, director of nursing excellence at the Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute in Florida, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about ototoxicity in cancer care.

Highlights From This Episode "At different pitches, the eardrums move faster or slower, signaling the inner ear, or the cochlea—the thing that looks like a snail in the pictures. The cochlea has fluid and hair cells inside of it that receive movements from the eardrum. The hair cells change the movement into electrical signals that actually go to the auditory nerves or the cranial nerve VIII." TS 2:15 "Ototoxicity is an umbrella term for some sort of exposure to a toxin that causes damage to the inner ear. These toxins can be in the environment, such as loud or different noises, or they can be from medications, including antibiotics or commonly cancer treatments, such as radiation chemotherapy. Some common chemotherapies can be platinum-based chemotherapies like cisplatin or carboplatin. And then what patients are experiencing if they have ototoxicity can be hearing loss." TS 3:15 "The hypothesized mechanism of action is that the chemicals like the platinum compound in cisplatin … that platinum compound travels through our bloodstream. Since chemotherapy is systemic, it'll go to the inner ear, and it gets stuck there by binding to the cellular DNA in that cochlea, or that snail-looking image. That initiates the release of the reactive oxygen species, which are really trying to help clean it out, but releases such high levels that it ends up causing damage to those inner ear hairs. These inner ear hairs cannot regenerate themselves, so then they're permanently damaged. And remember we said that those hairs send electrical signals to the brain that recognize sound. So that function is permanently gone once those hair cells are damaged." TS 7:10 "I definitely think this is a huge interdisciplinary collaborative effort. As nurses and advanced providers, we're assessing and providing education. Our medical oncologists are doing those dose modifications and submitting those audiology referrals. The radiation oncologists are very important to know about this—maybe dose localization awareness. Maybe they do some changes with the doses. And then our audiologists and [ear, nose, and throat physicians], they can do that diagnostic confirmation and any rehabilitation measurements and really monitor them throughout their journey as well. And nurse navigators play a huge part in making sure those patients get those referrals, because a lot of the time the audiologists aren't in the cancer clinic, so they may have to go to another location or may need help coordinating with all their appointments that they have." TS 22:28 "We had a really innovative way of monitoring the hearing that a couple other studies have also tested. It's a remote point-of-care hearing screen. It was on [a tablet] with calibrated headphones. And then it's a paid-for subscription to an audiology testing platform. … Myself, along with a couple of other nurses, were trained how to use this testing device with the tablet and the headphones and the software program. And it was a quick down-and-dirty portable hearing assessment for patients. So anyone who was new to cisplatin, never gotten cisplatin treatment before, was enrolled into the study, and they received a hearing test every time that they came for chemo, and we gave it to them during their hydration."

STORY 5: Wheeler overcomes rocky start to beat Cherokee Cherokee came out swinging, but Wheeler landed the knockout punch, pulling away for a 78-64 win Tuesday night at Cherokee High. The Wildcats (12-3, 4-0 Region 5AAAAAA) have been living out of suitcases for weeks, and while this wasn’t their cleanest game, they handed the Warriors (11-5, 3-1) their first region loss—without starters Kevin Savage and Lamarrion Lewis. UConn commit Colben Landrew was unstoppable, dropping 26 points. Jaron Saulsberry added 17, and Amare James chipped in 16, including a half-court buzzer-beater that sparked Wheeler’s comeback. Cherokee started hot—Sean Hamilton’s seven-point run helped build a 20-6 lead. But Wheeler clawed back, outscoring the Warriors 26-12 in the second quarter and never looking back. FALCONS: Kirk Cousins and the Falcons just shook up his contract—again. According to reports, they’ve reworked the final two years of his four-year, $180 million deal, giving Atlanta some breathing room with the salary cap. But here’s the kicker: by March 13, 2026, they’ll have to decide if Cousins sticks around. Why? A $67.9 million guarantee for 2027 kicks in that day. And let’s be real—at 38, with a no-trade clause, Cousins isn’t exactly a hot commodity. The new deal slashes his 2026 base salary from $35 million to $2.1 million, shifting that cash to 2027. Still, he’s got a $10 million roster bonus locked in for next year. Atlanta signed Cousins in 2024 with $100 million guaranteed, then drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. But when Penix tore his ACL, Cousins stepped in, starting seven games. His numbers? Solid-ish: 1,721 yards, 10 TDs, five picks. Not bad for a guy nearing 40. I'm Keith Ippolito and that’s your MDJ Sports Minute. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have closing comments after this.

Women don't eat poorly because they lack discipline. They eat poorly because they're exhausted, overwhelmed, hormonally ambushed, and carrying everyone else's load. When you're wired and tired, hitting the 3pm crash, or fried at the end of the day, biology takes over, not willpower.This episode is your no-BS map to those vulnerability windows and how to stop getting hijacked by cravings, stress, and decision fatigue. If you're done feeling like food is running the show, this is your wake-up call.Reasons Why Women Eat Poorly @ 0:01Women often eat poorly not due to lack of discipline, but because they are tired, overwhelmed, hormonally imbalanced, and prioritising the needs of others over their own. These biological and emotional vulnerabilities lead to cravings for quick, unhealthy foods that provide a temporary sense of relief.Key Vulnerability Windows @ 2:27The main times when women are most vulnerable to making poor food choices are:When they are wired and tired, with amplified cravings and disrupted hunger hormones.The 3pm crash, when cortisol dips and the body craves sugary or carb-heavy foods.End-of-day decision fatigue, when the brain is fatigued and defaults to the easiest, often unhealthy, options.Strategies for Prevention @ 4:37To proactively address these vulnerability windows, Jennifer recommends:Establishing a consistent bedtime routine.Eating protein-rich meals and snacks to stabilise blood sugar.Planning ahead and having healthy options readily available.Developing non-food coping mechanisms for emotional triggers like stress and boredom.Hormonal Impacts @ 8:30Hormonal changes during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond can significantly impact appetite, cravings, and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. Consistent protein intake, adaptogen herbs, and honouring one's hormonal cycle are key to navigating these shifts.Recap and Key Takeaways @ 11:56In summary, poor eating habits often stem from biological and emotional vulnerabilities, not lack of discipline. By understanding these windows of vulnerability and proactively addressing them through prevention strategies, women can make sustainable improvements to their nutrition and overall wellbeing.LINKS: Feel like crap lately?

As the creator of Skinny 60, Tess shares why sustainable wellness isn't about restriction or perfection, but about personalization, grace, and learning how to work with your body instead of against it.

Own Your Health is about taking responsibility for your body before it breaks down. In this episode, Katie Brindle explores the concept of a “home health holiday” – a preventative approach to midlife wellbeing that focuses on regeneration rather than reaction. After personally trialling cutting-edge regenerative therapies including hyperbaric oxygen, ozone therapy, LED light therapy and hydrogen therapy, Katie shares what genuinely made a difference to her energy, sleep, inflammation, weight, skin and overall sense of vitality – and crucially, how you can replicate many of the benefits at home, for free or at low cost. This episode is especially relevant if you're: - Feeling tired, worn down or “not quite yourself” - Curious about regenerative medicine and modern wellness - Navigating midlife health and want to age well, not just cope - Interested in preventative health rather than crisis-driven care Katie also explains why January is biologically the best time of year to rest, restore and invest in your health – and why waiting for symptoms to appear is the biggest mistake most people make. This is not about quick fixes or detox trends. It's about giving back to your body, before it asks for help.

In this meaningful episode, Zach Dawson and Bob Springer sit down with Becky Savage, a nurse, mother, and the founder of the 525 Foundation. Becky shares the heart-wrenching story of a single night in 2015 that changed her family forever: the loss of her two eldest sons, Nick and Jack, to accidental drug overdoses during graduation party season.Becky describes the harrowing morning she discovered her sons and the "out of body experience" of performing CPR on her own child while paramedics responded to a second 911 call from the same house. We discuss the hidden dangers of prescription drug misuse, the "gap in knowledge" that still exists today, and how Becky and her husband moved forward by focusing on their two younger sons while turning their grief into a mission of advocacy.We also dive deep into the origins of the 525 Foundation - named after Nick and Jack's hockey numbers - and how a simple idea from her then 11-year-old son grew into a nationally recognized nonprofit. Becky explains the foundation's "Wise Up" program, which provides parents and educators with the facts and conversation starters needed to bridge the communication gap with youth. Join us for an essential conversation on prevention, education, and the life-saving power of simply starting a dialogue.

 Welcome to the Fortune Factor Podcast, where we explore the crucial issues shaping our world. Today, we delve into a topic gaining increasing recognition: racism as a profound public health crisis. This isn't just about individual prejudice; it's a systemic issue, deeply embedded in societal structures, that significantly impacts the health and well-being of racialized communities across the globe.: The momentum behind declaring racism a public health crisis accelerated dramatically in 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and a heightened awareness of racial injustices. While the Wisconsin Public Health Association made the first such declaration in 2018, hundreds of cities, counties, and public health agencies across the U.S. have since followed suit. A pivotal moment came in April 2021, when Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, officially declared racism a "serious public health threat." She emphasized how the pandemic starkly illuminated long-standing inequities driven by racism, which have affected public health for generations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, MD, a board-certified physician and leader in precision medicine, to explore how personalized healthcare is reshaping the future of bone health and osteoporosis prevention.Rather than waiting for bone loss to appear on a DEXA scan, precision medicine focuses on identifying the root biological drivers of bone loss years earlier—chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, hormonal imbalance, gut dysfunction, immune aging, and cellular senescence.This conversation offers a hopeful, empowering reframe: bone loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging, but a reflection of modifiable biological processes. When we understand and support those processes early, we create the conditions for stronger bones, healthier aging, and greater resilience.

I just finished interviewing Behnam Sabayan and Natalia Rost for this week's Neurology® Podcast. For today's Neurology Minute, I'm hoping you can tell us the main points of your paper, An Ounce of Prevention, the Growing Need for Preventative Neurologist. Dr. Behnam Sabayan: We are living in a very exciting time for the field of neurology where we are not just getting very good at diagnosis and treatment of neurological condition, but also we are stepping one step back, and that means that we will find the root causes of neurological conditions. We would act as preventive specialists and we would decrease the burden of neurological conditions, not just at the individual level, but also at the population level. And this paper calls for thinking about playing roles at different levels and stages from our offices and our rounds all the way to the community to be brain health advocates and helping other fields and disciplines to reduce the burden of neurological conditions. Dr. Greg Cooper: Well, thank you for that summary and for all of your work on this topic. Please check out this week's podcast to hear the full interview or read the full article published in Neurology®, An Ounce of Prevention: The Growing Need for Preventative Neurologists. Thank you.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Tracy McCarthy, a brilliant functional medicine physician and psychiatrist, to talk about what it really takes to heal—especially in midlife. We explored how functional medicine goes beyond symptom management and instead focuses on the root causes of chronic conditions like anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. Tracy's perspective on how nutrition, inflammation, gut health, and lifestyle play into our mental and physical well-being is deeply empowering.As someone who works with women navigating health and identity shifts in midlife, I found this conversation to be a powerful reminder that healing is possible—and it doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Dr. McCarthy shares how small, consistent changes can lead to massive improvements and how partnering with your body (not fighting it) is the key to long-term health. If you're curious about functional medicine, overwhelmed by your symptoms, or simply want to feel better in your body—this episode is for you.Episode Highlights:[0:00] - Kicking off with Dr. Tracy McCarthy and the power of functional medicine.[1:25] - Tracy shares her journey from psychiatry to root-cause healing.[6:13] - The common symptoms Tracy sees in midlife women.[8:04] - What the functional medicine intake and testing process looks like.[12:06] - The importance of patient participation in healing.[13:20] - Understanding the role of inflammation in chronic illness.[16:56] - A powerful case study that brought it all together.[21:27] - Gut health: the surprising link to mood and brain function.[25:12] - The mystery behind why autoimmune issues hit women harder.[34:14] - Prevention and aging: how much power we do have.

Chris Simonsen joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how communities can close the gap that makes young people vulnerable to trafficking—not with rescue mentalities, but with trauma-informed care, consistent relationships, and spaces where young people feel safe enough to stay. Chris Simonsen Chris Simonsen is the Chief Executive Officer of Orangewood Foundation, one of Orange County's leading organizations serving youth who have experienced abuse, neglect, homelessness, and exploitation. With more than fifteen years at the helm and over three decades of executive leadership experience, Simonsen oversees a comprehensive continuum of care that includes housing, education, transitional support, wellness services, and specialized programs for youth who have been exploited or trafficked. Under his leadership, Orangewood has expanded its focus on intervention for children and Transitional Age Youth (TAY), emphasizing strategies that prevent revictimization, stabilize immediate crises, and strengthen long-term resilience. Simonsen's leadership is shaped by a commitment to relationship-based, trauma-informed care and a theory of change rooted in the belief that consistent adult support, safe environments, and practical resources dramatically alter a young person's trajectory. Key Points Orangewood Foundation made a strategic decision ten years ago to remove all labeling criteria for their programs, allowing them to serve any teen or young adult in need regardless of foster care status or county of residence, which caused the organization to grow from 40 to 250 employees. The number one priority when working with vulnerable youth is building a trusting relationship and creating a safe environment where they feel comfortable, which can take weeks or months before meaningful goal-setting work can begin. Young people without support structures are highly vulnerable to traffickers, and their trauma is so much more complex that Orangewood created dedicated programming including the Lighthouse transitional housing program and Project Choice drop-in center specifically for survivors and at-risk youth. Prevention work must address the developmental realities of youth who haven't had long-term stability or supportive infrastructure, including implementing social-emotional support in schools through programs like advisory groups that stay together for four years. The role of loneliness and connection is critical—young people need to build their own communities and peer support networks, not just rely on organizational staff, to develop healthy relationships and long-term resilience. For those wanting to help, the most effective approach is to support existing trauma-informed organizations through volunteering, donations, or collaboration rather than starting new nonprofits, and to get educated on what human trafficking really is before attempting direct intervention. Schools need to dedicate more resources to the social-emotional aspects of teenagers' lives, not just academics, and provide direct education to students about trafficking prevention at appropriate age levels without parental pushback. The Ending Human Trafficking Collaborative led by the Samueli Foundation exemplifies how community education and cross-sector partnerships can strengthen prevention efforts by bringing together experts and philanthropists to direct resources where they're most needed.

Your body is the only place you have to live. Isn't it time to start listening to what it's telling you?Dr. Sherry McAllister, President of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and author of "Adjusted Reality," joins Brigitte Cutshall to discuss the transformative power of chiropractic care. Both women share their journeys from a debilitating car accident to discovering drug-free healing through proper spinal alignment. Dr. McAllister explains how modern sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and daily choices impact our nervous system and overall wellbeing. 3 Key Takeaways:(1) Prevention over reaction. Chiropractors focus on keeping you healthy rather than just treating illness, addressing the root cause of discomfort before it becomes chronic pain or disease.(2) Small daily choices compound. Everything from your shoes and pillow to your desk setup and posture affects your body's alignment; making one small improvement each day creates significant change over time.(3) The body heals itself. Proper nervous system alignment enables your body's natural healing abilities to function optimally, often eliminating the need for pain medication and supporting overall vitality.Find a chiropractor near you at https://f4cp.org/findadoctorLearn more about preventative care and optimal living at https://f4cp.org/adjustedreality and to get Dr. McAllister's book.

A last-minute push from Democrats and four moderate Republicans will force a House vote on renewing enhanced premium tax credits for Affordable Care Act plans, but not until January. That means millions will have to choose between paying dramatically more or dropping coverage next year. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially drops the federal recommendation for newborns to receive a hepatitis B shot. Tami Luhby of CNN, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Lizzy Lawrence of Stat join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Tony Leys, who wrote the latest “Bill of the Month” feature, and the panel discusses the year's biggest developments in health policy.  Plus, for a special year-end “extra-credit” segment, the panelists suggest what they consider 2025's biggest health policy themes: Julie Rovner: The future of the workforce in biomedical research and health care. Lizzy Lawrence: The politicization of science. Tami Luhby: The systemic impacts of cuts to the Medicaid program. Alice Miranda Ollstein: The resurgence of infectious diseases. 

In pediatric practice, few topics are as foundational and scientifically grounded as vaccinations. This season, a major shift in federal vaccine advisory guidance has sparked fresh discussion about how we protect infants from hepatitis B. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's advisory committee on immunization practices voted to revise the more than 30-year guidance around the universal birth-dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine. In this episode, our goal is to provide clarity for clinicians on the best vaccination approach for our youngest patients.  For this important discussion, we are joined by Sean O'Leary, MD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children's Colorado, as well as a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases, otherwise known as the Red Book Committee.  Some highlights from this episode include: The history of hepatitis B infection in children in the U.S.  Why the birth dose has been such a critical part of prevention  Breaking down the recent decision by the CDC advisory committee  Recommendations for this vaccine moving forward For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

What if thousands of men are losing their sexual function treating a cancer that was never going to kill them? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Zimberg — board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York — to unpack the truth about prostate cancer screening, overtreatment, and what every man over 40 needs to know. Dr. Zimberg reveals that the prostate cancer industry has an overtreatment problem — and genomic testing is exposing which tumors need aggressive treatment and which don't. We break down why PSA is broken, why Gleason scores don't tell the full story, and how cadaver studies show men from their 20s to 80s harbor prostate cancer cells that never become clinically significant. We also dive into the science behind radiation therapy, the BioProtect balloon spacer (Dr. Zimberg has performed nearly 2,000 — more than anyone in the world), and the cutting-edge radioligand therapy changing outcomes for stage 4 prostate cancer. If you're a man, love a man, or work with men in health or performance, this is essential listening. About the guest:Dr. Shawn Zimberg is a board-certified radiation oncologist, medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, and director of radiation oncology at Bronx Care Hospital. He trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has pioneered the use of rectal spacer technology in prostate cancer treatment, having performed nearly 2,000 PioProtect balloon procedures — more than any other physician in the world. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.
