In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Sameer Dhar, Co-Founder and CEO of NiaHealth, to explore how proactive healthcare is reshaping the future of medicine.Sameer shares his remarkable journey from living in nursing homes for a year while building his first startup (Sensassure) to launching NiaHealth, a Canadian health-tech company empowering people to take ownership of their longevity through AI-driven diagnostics and personalized insights.With over $8 million in funding and a 12,000-person waitlist, NiaHealth is building a clinician-first model that complements Canada's public system, helping users prevent disease decades before it develops.

AABP executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich reviews a paper published in The Bovine Practitioner with two of the authors. Joining today are Dr. Greg Habing, professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and Dr. Emily Nogay, clinical assistant professor at The Ohio State University Large Animal Ambulatory Services.  Salmonella Dublin is a host-adapted and zoonotic pathogen affecting many dairy farms. It can be associated with high morbidity and mortality and is often multi-drug resistant which elevates its importance to dairy farmers and veterinarians. Surveillance and diagnostics are an important aspect of managing diseases in our herds. Nogay reviews available diagnostic tests and the advantages and disadvantages of each one. The ELISA test has a sensitivity of 65%, but is used to screen herds for the disease. The objective of this study was to determine if the four U.S. commercially licensed Salmonella vaccines would result in a positive Salmonella Dublin ELISA test result.  We walk through the results of the paper and discuss some of the findings, including the impact of the vaccines on the serum ELISA results and some potential reasons for the ELISA results after vaccination. Habing discusses future opportunities for research on this disease, including the need for better diagnostic tests, including a PCR test to screen herds.  AABP's peer-reviewed journal, The Bovine Practitioner, publishes original research studies, reviews, case series, and case reports intended to provide clinically relevant research to private practicing veterinarians. It is an open access journal and there are no publication fees for submitting authors.

Diet has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern health. Whether it's carnivore, keto, or veganism, conversations around food can quickly become divisive. But beyond the noise and online debates — how do you actually determine the best way to eat for your health, longevity, and heart? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, an integrative cardiologist often referred to as “America's Healthy Heart Doc.” After decades practicing conventional cardiology, Dr. Kahn shifted his focus toward preventative medicine — emphasizing nutrition, early testing, and lifestyle strategies to help patients avoid heart disease altogether. Dr. Kahn shares his evidence-based approach to heart disease prevention, including how he helps patients identify and treat risk factors ten years before a potential heart attack. We dive into the science behind different diets, what research actually shows about plant-based nutrition, and why personalization — not dogma — is key when it comes to both food and medication. We also explore the connection between hormones and cardiovascular health, the role of post-menopausal hormone therapy in prevention, and what tests you should consider before ever starting statins. If you care about protecting your heart—and cutting through the confusion around diet and prevention—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Episode Highlights: Dr. Kahn's transition from traditional cardiology to preventive and integrative care His lifelong passion for nutrition and functional wellness The simple rule everyone should follow for a heart-healthy diet Research-backed benefits of plant-forward eating Why statin therapy should be personalized, not automatic The most important tests to request before taking statins How hormone therapy after menopause impacts heart health The vital link between hormonal balance and cardiovascular function Dr. Kahn's top testing recommendations for early heart disease detection Connect with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Website | DrJoelKahn.com Dr. Joel Kahn's Clinic | Kahn Longevity Center ​​Dr. Joel Kahn on Instagram | @DrJKahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Podcast | Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Books | View Dr. Joel Kahn's Library Dr. Joel Kahn on The Joe Rogan Experience | Listen To The Full Episode Dr. Kahn's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Reference Guide | View The Reference Guide Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.

When stress becomes inescapable, it triggers mitochondrial shutdown that affects energy production and explains sudden crashes. In this episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian breaks down the four stage pathway of startle, stress, freeze, and shutdown, where the crucial 15 second startle window determines whether responses become adaptive or automatic trauma patterns. She shares her retraining protocol using controlled activation and proper nervous system nutrition to rewire neural pathways faster than traditional methods.

In this compelling discussion, vascular surgeon Dr. Lily Johnston joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to share her journey from traditional surgical practice to metabolic health advocacy. After years of amputating limbs for diabetic patients who received poor nutritional guidance, Dr. Johnston couldn't unsee the devastating consequences of our healthcare system's approach to metabolic disease. She explains how surgeons fix anatomical problems without addressing the underlying metabolic dysfunction that causes blood vessel disease throughout the body.Dr. Johnston discusses how therapeutic carbohydrate reduction, hormone optimization, sleep quality, and stress management create better outcomes than surgery alone. She shares personal insights about her own health transformation through low-carb nutrition and her decision to create a practice balancing surgery with preventive care. The conversation reveals how traditional heart and vascular surgeries are temporary fixes that don't address root causes, leaving patients vulnerable to recurring problems.This interview bridges the gap between conventional medicine and functional approaches to metabolic health, offering hope for those looking to avoid major surgical interventions through targeted lifestyle modifications.BIG IDEASurgeons like Dr. Johnston and Dr. Ovadia have recognized that vascular and cardiac surgeries are temporary fixes—like placing buckets under a leaky roof rather than repairing the roof itself—and are now focusing on metabolic health interventions that address the root causes of disease.Lily Johnston MD contact infoWebsites: www.vascularhealthinstitute.orgnexushealthspan.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ljohnstonmdSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

For many, integrative medicine has become an unattainable luxury, and healthy diet and lifestyle the prerogative of the privileged. Today's guest, Dr. Ramona Wallace, is attempting to change that. Trained conventionally as a DO, she undertook additional training and certification via the Institute for Functional Medicine to broaden her clinical skills. She practices primary care in an underserved community in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations to address her patients' chronic conditions. Careful nutritional assessment has revealed that many of her patients, while overtly overweight, are decidedly malnourished. She has documented a wide range of deficiencies—of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, critical minerals like zinc and magnesium, even full-blown scurvy. These are precisely the patients who are most likely to benefit from nutritional support. Discovering obstacles to compliance is a key element to effect their health transformations. Dr. Wallace believes that individualized care is the key to reversing long-standing health conditions. She mentors medical students in the first-of-its-kind Functional Medicine program at a medical school. She has also co-authored a landmark paper arguing for wellness self-care by doctors, to stave off burnout and to help them be better role models for patients.
