In this VETgirl veterinary continuing education podcast, Dr. Mark Cousins debunks the “indoor cat safety” myth. Indoor felines face silent parasite risks: hitchhiking fleas, shoe-borne roundworm eggs, and mosquitoes carrying fatal heartworms. Because cats lack approved heartworm treatments, year-round preventive care is vital. Vets must educate hesitant owners, reframing protection as a baseline of indoor feline wellness.Sponsored By: Boehringer Ingelheim
Dr. Karen Litzy sits down with Jennifer Burnham Grubbs, founder of Ionava, to unpack why traditional health insurance often penalizes healthy people instead of rewarding them. Jennifer draws on 21 years in the insurance industry to explain what she saw, why she built a new financial category, and how Ionava is designed to reward health-conscious behavior with greater flexibility and less friction. We discuss why healthy people often get poor value from insurance, how Ionava differs from HSAs, FSAs, and health sharing ministries, and how its wallet-based model is meant to make health financial preparedness more practical. Key topics Jennifer explains why she built Ionava after two decades as an insurance broker and consultant, including seeing denied coverage, surprise billing, and confusing utilization patterns firsthand. The episode explores the idea that healthy people often subsidize the system without getting a meaningful return, even when they follow preventive care recommendations. Karen and Jennifer compare traditional insurance with a "good driver discount" model, highlighting how insurance rarely rewards healthier behavior. Jennifer explains why Ionava is not health insurance or an HSA, but a new financial category built around health, financial preparedness, and wellness spending. The conversation covers how Ionava's wallet works, including how users can spend on qualifying health and wellness expenses, from gym memberships to supplements and cosmetic wellness categories. Jennifer contrasts Ionava with HSAs and FSAs, emphasizing that Ionava is funded through the subscription and is designed to roll over rather than expire. They also discuss health sharing ministries and why Ionava was built to be secular and broadly accessible rather than tied to religious attestation. Jennifer explains the health score quiz, how it helps price vaults, and why Ionava currently starts with the healthiest applicants to maintain actuarial discipline. The episode dives into pre-existing conditions, how current health status affects eligibility, and why some people may be asked to wait as the pool expands. Karen and Jennifer unpack how Ionava avoids the network and contracted-rate limitations that shape traditional insurance, including why cash-based purchasing offers more flexibility across states and even internationally.

How do you stop caring what people think when everyone is watching? Preventive wellness strategist and founder Michal Renée joins viral creator Robiiiworld for a conversation about online hate, fear of judgment and why being seen isn't the same as being known.You know the skits. You don't know everything happening off-camera. Robiiiworld revisits his baptism backlash and opens up about love, caring for his father and becoming the black sheep his family now depends on. Michal shares why fear of judgment kept her off the internet for two years, even after her life had changed.Together, they unpack the visibility wound: wanting to show up as yourself, but bracing for people to hold your past against you. We're talking faith, mental health, ambition and finding your purpose without waiting for everybody to understand it. God is still working on you. The comments are not your performance review.
This week, Jason is joined by Banfield Pet Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr. Alea Harrison for a conversation about the real economics of pet ownership, why preventive care can be one of the smartest financial decisions pet owners make, and how planning ahead can help avoid thousands of dollars in unexpected veterinary expenses. Dr. Harrison shares her journey from leaving the country to attend veterinary school in St. Kitts to becoming a practicing veterinarian and eventually helping guide clinical strategy for roughly 3,600 veterinarians across more than 1,000 Banfield hospitals nationwide. Dr. Harrison breaks down what people should actually budget for when bringing home a pet, including veterinary care, nutrition, grooming, training, boarding, and daycare—and why many of the biggest expenses are the ones owners rarely think about beforehand. She explains why choosing the right food should be based on a pet's individual health, breed, and lifestyle rather than marketing or social media trends, and reveals why taking a proactive approach to veterinary care can dramatically change both a pet's long-term health and the owner's finances. Jason and Dr. Harrison also dive into Banfield's Optimum Wellness Plans, why they were designed to make preventive veterinary care more accessible and predictable, and how they differ from traditional pet insurance. Dr. Harrison explains how bundling preventive services can save clients more than 30% compared to paying for each service individually, while plans can include comprehensive exams, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, unlimited office visits, and 24/7 Pet Chat access. She also explains why pet insurance and wellness plans can work together, with insurance focused on unexpected illnesses, injuries, and surgeries while wellness plans focus on routine preventive care. Plus, Dr. Harrison reveals some of the numbers that show just how expensive waiting can become. Heartworm prevention can cost around $25 per month, while treating heartworm disease can range from roughly $1,200 to $6,000 depending on the pet. She also shares that Banfield data shows 80% of dogs and 75% of cats have signs of dental disease by just one year old, explains how certain breeds can be predisposed to costly health problems, and breaks down why spaying and neutering can help prevent serious conditions and certain cancers in addition to controlling the pet population. Dr. Harrison also gets candid about the challenges of becoming a veterinarian, from the competitiveness and financial burden of veterinary school to building a career that can extend far beyond treating individual patients. She explains how her own definition of impact evolved from caring for pets one-on-one to influencing thousands of veterinarians and ultimately helping improve care on a much larger scale. Dr. Harrison reveals why creating predictability, staying proactive instead of reactive, and preparing for expenses before they become emergencies can make all the difference for pet owners. She also leaves Jason with her ultimate trading secret, a mantra she applies to business, family, and veterinary medicine: “If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.” She reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

We also discuss nutrition, metabolic health, emerging approaches to healthy aging, and how people can become more proactive about their health without getting lost in every new wellness trend. https://www.michaelazizmd.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
In this episode, Dr. Gladden speaks with Dr. Hany Demian about the shift from reactive medicine to prevention, personalization, and longevity-focused care. Dr. Hany shares how his journey through breast surgery, emergency medicine, and chronic pain management led him to a more systems-based approach to health, aging, and healing. They discuss why aging may be better understood as a condition, how patient empowerment changes outcomes, and why nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and individualized care matter as much as diagnostics and therapies.

Is AI really coming for fleet technicians? Or is it about to make them more valuable than ever? Recorded live from the Government Fleet Expo (GFX) in Long Beach, California, Marc Canton and Facundo Tassara have an unscripted conversation covering the biggest trends shaping the future of fleet management. From artificial intelligence and robotics to technician shortages, fleet analytics, benchmarking, leadership development, and government fleet collaboration, this episode explores what public fleet leaders should be paying attention to over the next five years. The discussion goes beyond AI hype to examine how artificial intelligence will transform diagnostics, analytics, and decision-making—not replace experienced fleet professionals. Marc and Facundo also reflect on lessons from GFX, why Florida government fleets consistently rank among the nation's best, how collaboration drives operational excellence, and why future fleet leaders will need stronger business and leadership skills than ever before. Whether you're a fleet manager, maintenance supervisor, public works leader, or municipal executive, this episode offers practical insights into how technology, data, and leadership are reshaping the fleet industry. Key Takeaways AI will augment—not simply replace—fleet technicians. The hosts predict AI-powered robotics and intelligent diagnostic systems will eventually handle repetitive maintenance tasks while skilled technicians focus on higher-level problem solving. Context matters more than data alone. AI can analyze fleet information quickly, but fleet professionals must still provide operational context to make good decisions. Fleet analytics are evolving. Traditional utilization metrics like miles driven often fail to tell the complete story. Future fleet management will rely on mission-based performance metrics instead of simple mileage. Leadership skills are becoming essential. As technicians advance into supervisory and management roles, communication, coaching, and strategic thinking become just as important as technical expertise. Collaboration creates stronger fleets. Government fleets that openly share ideas, purchasing strategies, emergency planning, and operational best practices consistently achieve better results. AI requires healthy skepticism. The hosts demonstrate how AI tools can occasionally provide incorrect information, reinforcing the importance of validating AI-generated answers. Fleet managers need better storytelling. Data alone isn't enough—leaders must communicate performance in ways executives and elected officials understand. Industry relationships accelerate innovation. Conferences like GFX provide opportunities to exchange ideas that can significantly improve fleet operations and professional growth. Topics Covered Artificial Intelligence in fleet maintenance Will robots replace mechanics? Government Fleet Expo (GFX) insights Public fleet leadership Technician shortages Fleet benchmarking Fleet KPIs and analytics Fleet utilization metrics Preventive maintenance Government fleet collaboration Professional development Fleet conferences Data-driven decision making Fleet management technology Future of public sector fleets Who Should Listen? This episode is valuable for: Fleet Managers Fleet Directors Public Works Directors Municipal Leaders Fleet Maintenance Supervisors Shop Managers Government Fleet Professionals Fleet Consultants Operations Leaders Anyone interested in AI's impact on maintenance operations Speaker Bios Marc Canton Marc Canton serves as Vice President of Fleet Success at RTA Fleet and is an award-winning fleet management leader with extensive experience leading public sector fleet operations.

Feeling overloaded by conflicting health advice or worried about what might be happening inside your body as you move through midlife? Wondering if there's a way to get clear answers about cancer and chronic disease risks before symptoms start? This episode explores what a preventive MRI cancer screening can (and cannot) tell you, and how new technology is giving women more agency in their preventive health decisions. Today, journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Dr. Danna Chung, Chief Medical Officer at Ezra, to discuss the realities of proactive cancer screening with advanced MRI imaging. If you crave practical, evidence-driven insights about early detection and managing your health risks as you age, this conversation offers needed perspective, without hype or sensationalism. Dr. Chung's commitment to making screening more accessible stems from her own experience as a parent and physician navigating cancer in her family, making her a thoughtful guide through both the data and the emotions of screening. What you'll learn: • What MRI scans can detect, including early signs of cancer in up to 13 organs, as well as early indicators of chronic diseases like fatty liver and heart risk • How artificial intelligence is being used to improve the clarity, speed, and affordability of MRI-based cancer screening • Who can benefit from these screenings, how the process works, and what to expect—especially if you have fears about MRI or worries about "too much information" • The real limitations of MRI scans, including which cancers they're best at finding and which traditional screenings (like mammograms or colonoscopies) you still need • How annual health tracking empowers you to catch changes early and make informed decisions, not just for you but for those who depend on you Midlife is a season of valued responsibilities and sometimes-invisible health shifts. Practical, nuanced information can be empowering, especially when it is free from hype and fear. This episode is here to offer solid answers and calm, trustworthy context so you can make preventive choices that fit your real life and priorities. Episode Website
For half a century, Israel treated its adversaries as if their intentions could be tracked and might change according to circumstances. With the states surrounding it, that assumption largely held: Egypt, for instance, signed a peace treaty and kept it, whatever else occurred in the region. But with the radical forces that Iran built around Israel in the years before October 7, that same assumption proved catastrophic. Hamas, Hizballah, the Houthis, and the militias in Syria and Iraq do not vary in their commitment to Israel's destruction. What varies is only their capability. And so Israel has been forced to exchange a doctrine built on monitoring intention for one built on continually destroying capability, whatever the diplomatic cost, wherever preparations for war are found. Today's guest, Dan Schueftan, calls this doctrine preventive violence, or simply, violent maintenance. Schueftan is the director of the National Security Studies Center at the University of Haifa. In conversation with Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver, he lays out this doctrine, its roots, and the circumstances that forced Israel to adopt it. He then offers a threat assessment of Iran's proxy network as it stands today: in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq—before turning to the sepearate question of Turkey.

Send us Fan MailMen's Health: Recognizing Depression, Finding Root Causes, and Building Preventive Habits with Dr. JohnEpisode SummaryDepression in men doesn't always look like sadness. It often appears as irritability, withdrawal, exhaustion, loss of motivation, declining work performance, or giving up activities that once brought joy. In this episode, Dr. Angela Andrews sits down with Dr. John of Thrive Family Health to discuss why men's mental health is frequently overlooked, how to recognize the warning signs, and why addressing the root cause—not just the symptoms—is essential.Together, they explore the many factors that can contribute to depression, including chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and social isolation. They also discuss why self-diagnosing through the internet often delays proper treatment and how a trusted relationship with a primary care physician can help uncover what's really going on.The conversation closes with practical advice for men at every stage of adulthood—from building healthy habits in your 20s to preserving muscle, staying active, keeping up with preventive screenings, and protecting heart health later in life.What You'll LearnWhy depression often looks different in men than in womenCommon warning signs that are easy to overlookMedical and lifestyle conditions that can mimic or contribute to depressionThe connection between sleep, stress, hormones, and mental healthWhen ADHD, anxiety, or bipolar disorder should be consideredWhy professional evaluation is better than self-diagnosisThe importance of purpose, relationships, and spiritual healthPractical preventive health advice for men in their 20s, 40s, and beyondKey TakeawaysDepression in men often presents as irritability, withdrawal, fatigue, or decreased performance rather than sadness.Mental health symptoms deserve a thorough evaluation to identify underlying causes.Sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and social connection are powerful tools for improving mental wellbeing.Therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination may all play important roles in treatment.Preventive care becomes increasingly important with age, especially for maintaining muscle mass, cardiovascular health, and recommended cancer screenings.Having an ongoing relationship with a trusted primary care physician leads to earlier detection and better long-term health.Episode Chapters00:00 Men's Health Focus00:51 Hidden Depression Signs01:35 Looking Beyond the Symptoms02:41 Sleep, Stress & Self-Medication03:37 Irritability, Withdrawal & Burnout04:41 ADHD, Anxiety & Mental Health Overlap06:15 Getting Help: Therapy, Medication & Lifestyle09:46 Faith, Purpose & Connection11:01 Men's Health Advice by Age13:10 Connect with Dr. John14:08 Podcast Outro & Medical DisclaimerGuest ResourcesDr. John Italiano, DOFounder, Thrive Family Health Direct Primary Care

Discover why universally healthy diets don't exist and how metatranscriptomics (RNA sequencing) can track biological aging and reverse chronic disease risk before symptoms start.In this episode of Modern Healthspan, we sit down with Dr. Momo Vuyisich, co-founder of Viome and former lead genomics scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Vuyisich shares why sequencing microbial DNA only tells part of the story, and why tracking dynamic RNA expression (metatranscriptomics) is the true frontier of precision longevity. We explore why standard "superfoods" can trigger inflammation in specific individuals, how the gut microbiome loses structural resilience over decades due to preservatives and hidden antibiotics, and how Viome's AI engine maps complex molecular pathways like butyrate production and LPS endotoxins. Dr. Vuyisich also introduces his vision for a "Manhattan Project" for chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis and pancreatic cancer, challenging the current reactive models of academia and pharmaceutical industries. Turn your data into actionable preventive medicine with this deep dive into systems biology.

Takeaways Dr. Pietropaoli transitioned from traditional orthopedics to regenerative medicine. He emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself through regenerative techniques. The importance of asking questions in medical training is highlighted. Dr. Pietropaoli's personal experiences influenced his career path. He advocates for a team approach in patient care, involving various specialists. Inflammation is a key factor in joint health and must be addressed. Genetic testing can guide nutritional choices for better health outcomes. Preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of joint injuries. Dr. Pietropaoli aims to end the need for knee replacements by 2043. The conversation underscores the importance of patient education in exploring treatment options. Bending knees during landing reduces injury risk. Proper proprioception is crucial for athletes. Dynamic warm-ups are more effective than static stretching. Mastering two-legged exercises is essential before progressing to one-legged ones. Plyometrics enhance fast twitch muscle fiber development. Agility is linked to balance and quickness. Bear surgery offers a promising alternative to traditional ACL repair. Collagen implants can significantly aid in ACL healing. Using blood flow restriction can enhance recovery post-surgery. Education and awareness are key in sports injury prevention.

Darryl Moon joins the conversation to challenge one of the biggest assumptions about healthcare:That rising healthcare costs are simply unavoidable.They aren't.Drawing from decades of experience leading hospitals as a CFO, COO, and CEO, Darryl explains why many healthcare systems are built around incentives that often conflict with the goals of employers and patients alike.Rather than focusing solely on treating illness, he argues that healthcare should be designed around long-term relationships, prevention, and helping people achieve healthier lives before serious medical problems arise.The discussion explores why employers have far more influence over healthcare than they realize, how alternative primary care models are reducing costs while improving outcomes, and why simply spending more money doesn't necessarily produce better health.Most importantly, it's a reminder that fixing healthcare isn't just about new technology or new policies.It's about redesigning incentives so every part of the system is working toward the same goal.TL;DRHealthcare costs continue to rise because many incentives inside the system are misaligned.Employers have more power than they realize to reshape how healthcare is delivered.Strong primary care relationships can improve outcomes while reducing long-term costs.Building trust between patients and providers is often more valuable than simply expanding treatment options.Preventive care and ongoing coaching can reduce expensive hospital visits.Relationships—not just medicine—play a major role in improving health.Real healthcare transformation begins by aligning incentives around patient wellbeing instead of system revenue.Memorable Lines“Healthcare doesn't have an innovation problem—it has an alignment problem.”“Relationships come first. Science comes second.”“The people who buy healthcare are the only ones who can truly change the system.”“Most healthcare spending can be traced back to behavior.”“Better primary care creates better outcomes at lower cost.”“You don't change health by treating illness—you change it by helping people achieve their life goals.”“Healthcare should become a partner in life, not just a place you visit when something breaks.”GuestDarryl MoonHealthcare transformation strategist and former hospital executive who has served as a CFO, COO, and CEO across multiple hospitals.Today, Darryl works with employers to redesign healthcare purchasing strategies, helping organizations reduce costs while improving employee health through relationship-based primary care and better incentive alignment.Why This MattersHealthcare conversations usually focus on insurance, hospitals, or government policy.This episode shifts the conversation toward incentives.If organizations reward the wrong outcomes, costs will continue rising regardless of how much money is spent.But when healthcare is designed around trust, prevention, and long-term relationships, both employers and patients can benefit from better care at a lower cost.Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't discovering a new treatment.It's redesigning the system so everyone is finally working toward the same outcome.

Preventive medicine flips the script on how we usually handle our healthcare: Instead of waiting until something breaks, you catch issues earlier, when they're easier to address. In this episode, Rahul Iyengar, MD, explains why our current "sick care" system tends to wait for symptoms before stepping in — and what a more proactive model looks like. He also shares why relationship-based care that gives providers more time with patients tends to lead to better outcomes, and how lasting health comes from sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. He offers a clear, practical look at taking charge of your health on your own terms.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Father-Son Chiropractors on Spinal Health, Mobility, and Whole-Body Wellness Dr. Warrick Bishop, cardiologist and host of the Healthy Heart Network podcast, welcomes Stephen and Sam Crean — a father-and-son chiropractic duo from Hobart and Kingston Chiropractic in Tasmania — in what he describes as his first-ever father-son podcast. The conversation explores the broader scope of chiropractic care beyond back pain, its role in healthy aging, and how it complements other health disciplines. Key Takeaways: Chiropractic care extends well beyond treating back pain — it addresses any issue involving muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, bones, and nerves throughout the entire body Approximately 60% of the Creans' practice consists of patients over 50, reflecting chiropractic's significant role in supporting healthy aging Improving spinal mobility and neurological function helps older patients maintain independence, manage muscle mass, support cardiovascular health, and reduce fall risk The spine's ability to move and function as designed is central to overall health, as spinal nerves connect to muscles, proprioceptors, and organs throughout the body Chiropractic care works best as part of a complementary healthcare approach, integrating with services like strength training and bone density programs Patient empowerment is a core goal — practitioners send patients home with exercises and ergonomic guidance so they can actively participate in their own recovery Some therapeutic discomfort is a normal and necessary part of chiropractic treatment, distinguishing productive adaptation from harmful pain Preventive and performance-focused chiropractic care — starting early in life — can be more impactful than waiting until pain or dysfunction develops The Creans have worked collaboratively with local football clubs for over a decade, training multidisciplinary sports teams in chiropractic principles within their respective scopes
What if the way you're aging has more to do with your metabolic health than your age itself? In this episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with longevity physician Dr. Jennifer Timmons to discuss the powerful connection between insulin resistance, hormone health, disease prevention, and aging well. Dr. Timmons shares how her experience in traditional primary care led her to pursue advanced training in functional medicine, precision medicine, and longevity medicine. Together, we discuss what it really means to optimize health as we age, why insulin resistance accelerates many age-related conditions, and how women can navigate menopause with a long-term health strategy in mind. We also explore the growing interest in peptide therapies, where they may fit into a comprehensive health plan, and the foundational lifestyle habits that matter far more than the latest longevity trends. If you're interested in protecting your metabolic health, maintaining vitality as you age, and increasing your healthspan—not just your lifespan—this episode is for you. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: Why insulin resistance may accelerate the aging process The difference between lifespan and healthspan Menopause as a long-term metabolic and cardiovascular transition The role of muscle mass in healthy aging How longevity medicine differs from traditional healthcare Preventive testing and early disease detection Peptide therapies: benefits, limitations, and considerations Common mistakes people make when pursuing longevity Why consistency often beats biohacking Practical steps women can take today to age well FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM DR.

AI can finally write back to the plant floor, but only if you can trust it. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how orchestration makes that safe.Industrial AI has reached a turning point. Manufacturers can already collect data, contextualize it, and surface insights, but the hardest step has always been turning insight into action on real control equipment. Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu of Siemens explain how an orchestration layer finally closes that loop. Annemarie frames the tension clearly. Automation depends on determinism, while large language models are probabilistic by design, so the goal is to bring that discipline into AI and validate any suggestion before it changes a set point.Most executive conversations start with return on investment, and two forces are making the case easier to prove. The workforce shortage has stretched the expected payback window from 18 months toward 36 months, and when a line cannot run for lack of people every idle minute costs thousands of dollars. The other driver is overall equipment effectiveness, since most plants run near 70 percent OEE and even a fraction of a percent of gain can justify a project. Energy is a standout case too. A BorgWarner sustainability effort used a digital twin to flatten demand peaks and reportedly paid for itself in under six months, even as data center growth pushes electricity demand higher through 2040.On trust and safety, Annemarie borrows a principle from industrial safety. Just as fail safe IO modules rely on two channel evaluation, every AI suggestion is validated against a state machine, a workflow, or a physics based digital twin before the orchestration layer passes it to a controller. With virtual commissioning and soft PLCs a change can be tested virtually, approved by a human in the loop, and only then written to control, an approach PepsiCo and NVIDIA echoed at CES when they called the digital twin a must have. Making AI real, the pair argue, comes down to discipline, clear scope, acceptance criteria, and focused 90 day challenges, plus the change management and user experience that drive adoption. Their favorite quick win is preventive maintenance driven by machine data, which both BorgWarner and Maersk tied to millions in savings.About Chris StevensChris Stevens is President of US Automation at Siemens, where he leads a roughly one billion dollar business spanning software, services, and hardware. He brings more than 25 years across Siemens Digital Industries, starting in the field selling assembly and test equipment, moving into the software and digital twin world, and returning to automation to bring the hardware and software sides of the business together.About Annemarie BreuAnnemarie Breu is a senior technology leader at Siemens Digital Industries focused on automation software deployment and customer technology partnerships in the US. She began at Siemens about a decade ago as a systems engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area, working with consumer electronics manufacturers on virtual commissioning and digital twins. Her work today centers on bringing the determinism and reliability of automation into industrial AI.Timestamps0:00 Introduction and Automate 2026 preview2:50 Meet Chris Stevens and Annemarie Breu9:30 The first AI question is always ROI14:00 Workforce gaps and OEE drive the business case19:30 Energy management and the data center demand surge23:20 Data, sensors, and contextualization requirements28:00 Guardrails, hallucinations, and two channel validation32:40 The digital twin and the human in the loop37:40 How partners and integrators move up the stack45:30 What it takes to make AI real on the floor55:50 Preventive maintenance as a quick win59:40 Predictions, career advice, and book picksAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

What if trauma is more than a psychological experience? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, a Preventive and Addiction Medicine Physician and founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated™, to explore how trauma becomes stored in the body and influences the nervous system, metabolism, immune function, and overall health. Together, we challenge the conventional view of trauma and examine why unresolved survival responses can contribute to chronic symptoms, fatigue, dysregulation, and disease. We discuss the differences between stress and trauma, the body's survival adaptations, the five patterns of stored trauma, and the critical role of the autonomic nervous system in recovery. Dr. Aimie shares her Biology of Trauma® framework, explaining how healing goes beyond mindset and requires creating safety within the body to restore resilience, regulation, and lasting health. If you've ever wondered why some patterns seem impossible to change, why chronic symptoms persist despite doing everything "right," or why healing often feels incomplete, this conversation may completely transform the way you think about trauma, health, and recovery. Key takeaways: Trauma is not limited to psychological impacts but involves complex biological adaptations that affect the entire body system. Stress and trauma are distinct, with trauma representing an overwhelming threat that triggers a different survival response. Unresolved trauma can lead to chronic health conditions, including autoimmunity and fatigue, highlighting the need for integrative healing methods. Healing from trauma requires creating an environment of safety before addressing deeper emotional and physiological issues. Effective trauma therapy should incorporate mind work, body somatic work, and biology for comprehensive healing. More About Dr. Aimee Apigian: Dr. Aimie Apigian is a double board-certified physician in Preventive and Addiction Medicine, with advanced training in biochemistry, public health, and functional medicine. She is the national bestselling author of The Biology of Trauma (foreword by Gabor Maté), featured on the USA TODAY Best-Selling Booklist and recipient of multiple book awards. She is known for making trauma healing both precise and deeply human, bridging functional medicine, attachment science, and trauma therapy to show how the body stores survival patterns and what it specifically needs to heal. Through her Biology of Trauma® framework, she integrates somatic work, parts work, and targeted biology to identify where the system is blocked and restore its capacity for healing through a structured, measurable sequence. Dr. Aimie is the founder of Trauma Healing Accelerated™ and host of the Biology of Trauma® Podcast, where she trains individuals and practitioners worldwide to move beyond insight into real, lasting change.

Should we still be drilling early caries lesions? Where do peptides, resin infiltration, fluoride varnish and SDF actually fit in modern practice? Is hydroxyapatite toothpaste a genuine alternative to fluoride, or just another dental trend? And when you see that suspicious grey occlusal shadow, do you seal it, explore it, or actively surveil it? In part two of this modern caries management episode, Jaz continues the conversation with Prof. Avijit Banerjee on minimal intervention dentistry. This episode moves beyond diagnosis and communication into the practical management of early and progressing caries lesions, including peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, fissure sealing, xerostomia, root caries and selective caries removal. https://youtu.be/dGt7FW7C4N0 Watch PDP269 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl Use the Contemporary Caries Management Implementation Pack as a chairside aid to turn the episode into daily clinical action. ⚠️ Learning the evidence is not enough if it never makes it into your patient conversations, risk assessment or treatment planning. ✅ Print it, laminate it, and use it to support communication, diagnosis, active surveillance and minimally invasive decision-making.

We strongly encourage all clinicians to consult the latest Clinical Practice Guidelines before making treatment decisions. Key Takeaways: Peptides are designed to infiltrate early enamel lesions and create a scaffold for mineral deposition. Peptide technologies still need minerals from saliva, toothpaste, mouthwash or other sources to work. Fluoride supports remineralisation; it acts more like the “mortar” than the “bricks”. Early E1 lesions are usually managed with prevention, fluoride, oral hygiene, diet control and biofilm control. Deeper enamel lesions, such as progressing E1 or E2 lesions, may be suitable for resin infiltration or peptide infiltration. SDF is better suited to cavitated lesions where arrest and stabilisation are needed. In the UK, SDF is licensed for dentine sensitivity, so caries arrest is an off-label use. SDF can be very useful for children, older adults, medically compromised patients and care-home patients. The main downside of conventional SDF is black staining, especially on anterior teeth. Hydroxyapatite toothpaste has more science behind it than charcoal-style fad toothpastes. Fluoride toothpaste remains the preferred baseline recommendation when patients are happy to use fluoride. A suspicious grey occlusal lesion should be assessed in the context of the patient's overall caries risk. In selected cases, a tiny exploratory opening can act like a diagnostic biopsy. Sealing fissures on the same tooth being restored can be sensible when the fissure pattern is deep. For severe xerostomia and root caries risk, consider high-fluoride regimes, close recalls, trays or dentures as carriers for remineralising agents.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions The 2026 Cholesterol Revolution: PREVENT Scores, Hidden Risk Markers, and CAC ScansThe script explains how 2026 ACC/AHA guideline changes aim to make heart attacks more preventable by shifting from short-term “10-year risk” thinking to “lower for longer,” precision prevention, and primordial prevention starting earlier in life. It critiques the older Pooled Cohort Equations for underestimating risk in younger people and introduces the PREVENT equation, which adds 30-year risk plus kidney, metabolic, and social factors. It highlights lipoprotein(a) as a largely genetic once-in-a-lifetime test and hs-CRP as an inflammation marker, and emphasizes coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring as a tiebreaker for statin decisions (0, 1–99, ≥100). Cases illustrate these tools, including tighter LDL goals (
Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* Preventive law is far cheaper than reactive law. Clients who try to DIY their legal needs (using LegalZoom, skipping contracts, etc.) often end up paying twice. Once for the mess they made and again to prevent it from recurring. Hiring a lawyer early and often saves money in the long run.* Subscription/flat-fee pricing aligns attorney and client incentives. Hourly billing creates distrust and discourages clients from calling when they should. Noel's model, flat fees for discrete projects, subscription fees for ongoing work, removes the “clock is ticking” anxiety and makes the attorney an accessible team member.* Client education is essential for subscription retention. It's not enough to deliver a service; clients must understand how to get ROI from it. Noel uses semi-annual workshops, legal growth blueprints, and ongoing engagement to ensure clients see the value and stick around.* Get paid upfront and use invoice financing to make it easier. Don't personally finance client tabs. Tools like LawPay (now 8AM) and Clio Payments, integrated with Affirm, let clients finance invoices over 6–36 months while the attorney gets paid in full immediately. Noel also recommends minimum initial terms (3–12 months depending on engagement size) to give both sides time to establish real value.* Don't get attached to any single AI tool. Noel recommends treating AI tools like a “chorus of experts.” Use multiple, stay flexible, and act as the conductor. The AI space is too dynamic to lock into long-term contracts with any one platform, and lawyers remain responsible for all AI-generated output.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

Dr. John Fleetham speaks with Dr. Leonardo Martinez about his article, "The Effectiveness of Isoniazid Preventive Treatment Among Contacts of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Systematic Review and Individual-Participant Meta-Analysis."
Our U.S. Healthcare Analyst Erin Wright discusses how health tracking and preventive diagnostics could influence healthcare costs and different industries, from fitness to retail.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Erin Wright, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Healthcare Services Analyst. Today – the emergence of the self-directed patient and its implications. It's Tuesday, May 12th at 10am in New York. A blood test ordered from your phone. A wearable that tracks your sleep or nudges you to move, recover, hydrate, or rethink last night's dinner. Preventive health is moving out of the clinic and into everyday life. And that shift is becoming an investable theme. In essence, healthcare is moving from reactive to proactive. Instead of waiting for symptoms, more consumers are using lab tests, wearables, imaging, and digital tools to spot some these risks earlier. And this shift reaches well beyond healthcare. On our estimates, the U.S. spends about [$]3.4 trillion annually on chronic diseases, including lost economic productivity. About [$]1.4 trillion of 2024 spend was tied to preventable disease. So the big investment question is: can earlier detection and behavior change bend the cost curve? We think expanded preventive testing, screening, and monitoring can help avoid roughly [$]200 billion to [$]800 billion of U.S. healthcare spend by 2050. That assumes preventive testing reduces preventable disease costs by about 10% to 30% based on our analysis. Direct-to-consumer lab testing lets people order lab tests directly, often online, without starting with a traditional doctor visit. We see this as a roughly $4 billion U.S. market, which has more than doubled since 2021. And it's no longer niche. Our AlphaWise survey found that about 34% of respondents completed a voluntary wellness lab test in the past three years. Among users, the average was 3.2 tests, suggesting this is not just a one-time behavior. The most common test was a general health profile, used by about 45 percent of recent testers. Wearables are the other part of the story. Our survey found that 41 percent of respondents currently use a wearable or fitness device, while another 22 percent are interested in getting one. More importantly, people are acting on the data. 34 percent of wearable users today regularly change behaviors or decisions based on their device, and 52 percent even sometimes do so, based on our survey. That creates a feedback loop. A wearable might flag poor sleep. A lab test might show elevated glucose. A digital health tool might suggest changes to diet or exercise, or follow-up care. Over time, prevention starts to feel less like an annual event and more like a daily habit. The sector implications are broad. In healthcare, more testing may initially actually increase utilization as people follow up on results. But over time, earlier detection could obviously support lower-cost of care and better chronic disease management. That also aligns with value-based care, where providers and payers are rewarded for better outcomes and lower total costs, not just simply more services. In consumer sectors, better health tracking could shape food choices, reduce demand for some indulgent categories, and support products tied to hydration, lower sugar, protein, and functional benefits. Fitness may also benefit as gyms evolve from just workout destinations into broader wellness platforms, with recovery and coaching, and preventive health services layered in. Imaging is another emerging area, as screening shifts from reactive diagnostics toward earlier disease detection. Of course, there is some risk that these health tracking and consumer-driven diagnostics trends could still prove to be a wellness craze rather than the new normal. Out-of-pocket costs, privacy concerns, inconsistent interpretations, and limited repeat testing are all real issues. But consumers are clearly taking more control of their health and increasingly asking, “What can I learn before I get sick?” Thanks for listening.

Most of medicine is built around snapshots. You feel something, you test for it, and by the time you find it, you're already behind. But what if the problem isn't the test—it's how we use it? In this episode, I sit down with physicist and imaging pioneer Dr. Daniel Sodickson, Chief Medical Scientist at Function Health and author of The Future of Seeing. We break down why tools like MRI are shifting from one-time scans to something far more powerful: tracking your health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, we cover: • Why waiting for symptoms puts you behind—and how to get ahead • What an MRI can reveal about your body that bloodwork can't • How tracking your health over time helps you catch problems sooner • Why having a baseline could change the way you make health decisions • What it means to shift from reacting to disease to actually predicting it When you stop looking at a single result and start looking at patterns, you can catch changes earlier, reduce false alarms, and better predict where your health is headed.

Dr. Maragliano provides a detailed look at how her practice has transitioned from traditional hygiene models to a biofilm-centered approach, utilizing advanced technologies such as air polishing systems, subgingival biofilm removal, and piezoelectric instrumentation. She outlines how these tools not only improve clinical outcomes but also enhance patient comfort, efficiency, and team ergonomics. A key theme of the episode is patient engagement and behavior change. Dr. Maragliano explains how connecting oral health findings—such as bleeding points and periodontal inflammation—to broader systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline can significantly improve patient understanding and case acceptance. The discussion emphasizes moving beyond routine care toward personalized, risk-based treatment planning. The episode also explores the limitations of the traditional six-month recall model and introduces a more individualized approach to hygiene scheduling based on each patient's risk profile. Listeners will gain practical insights into implementing adjunctive preventive therapies, including fluoride varnish, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), hydroxyapatite, chlorhexidine, and probiotic treatments, and how to integrate these into everyday clinical workflows. In addition, Dr. Maragliano shares real-world strategies for: Increasing hygiene production and efficiency without compromising care Structuring a high-performing hygiene team aligned with periodontal goals Communicating the role and limitations of SDF in caries management Setting clear clinical boundaries with patients while maintaining trust Balancing prevention, minimally invasive dentistry, and long-term outcomes This episode is especially valuable for general dentists, hygienists, and practice owners seeking to improve periodontal outcomes, patient compliance, and practice performance through evidence-based preventive dentistry. Key topics include: Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) workflow and technology Air polishing and subgingival biofilm removal Risk-based hygiene intervals vs. traditional recall Patient communication and case acceptance strategies Preventive and remineralization therapies (fluoride, SDF, hydroxyapatite) Hygiene-driven practice growth and profitability Clinical decision-making and patient boundaries in dentistry
