This week, we discuss endovascular therapy for post-thrombotic syndrome, new evidence on prehospital blood transfusion strategies in trauma patients, and a trial of cefazolin for Staph. aureus bacteremia. We examine evolving approaches to thyroid cancer and share a case of a man with pancytopenia after heart transplantation. Perspectives explore psychedelic therapy, the convergence of Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease, and treating addiction.
What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

Can retatrutide finally be the breakthrough obesity treatment we've been waiting for? The answer is yes—and the data is stunning. In this episode I'm walking you through the biggest obesity medicine discovery from the ADA's 86th Scientific Session: retatrutide, a triple hormone receptor agonist showing weight loss results that rival bariatric surgery. You'll learn what makes retatrutide different from Wegovy and Zepbound, the stunning results from the Triumph 1 trial, what the side effects actually look like, and when this medication will finally be available. Weight loss medications are evolving faster than ever. But what you really need to know is what these results mean for your health. Listen now! Episode Highlights: Retatrutide is a triple hormone agonist that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors Participants lost an average of 28.3% of their body weight in 80 weeks Two-thirds of participants achieved a normal BMI—moved from obese to healthy weight Nearly everyone with prediabetes reversed it and returned to normal blood sugar Over 70% reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain and 60% reduction in sleep apnea severity The highest discontinuation rate due to side effects was only 11%—mainly GI issues Retatrutide is not yet FDA approved but anticipated to launch early 2027 Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

"Do nothing for us without us." According to today's guest Robyn Bussey, that operating principle is the basis for effective community health work. "You don't go into a community and dictate. You go and listen and trust and be a partner," she adds. As you'll learn in this enlightening conversation, Bussey is following that approach in her current work as Just Health Director at the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta-based nonprofit advancing racial equity and shared prosperity across the South. On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, Bussey provides illuminating examples of community-rooted work in South Fulton County and rural Georgia, and explains why community health workers may be the most underutilized asset in addressing health disparities. This wide-ranging interview with host Michael Carrese also explores: Bussey's candid perspective on what happened to the surge of interest in health equity that occurred during COVID; Why life expectancy gains in many Southern states have lagged behind the rest of the country; Her advice to students and early-career clinicians about where they're needed most.

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org
ennifer Thomas hosts a special CFHA Integrated Care Podcast episode featuring board-certified psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Virmarie “Dr. V” Diaz-Hernandez, national medical director at Concert Health, discussing psychiatric consultation in primary care within the Collaborative Care Model. Dr. V shares her training in Puerto Rico and the U.S., how stigma and fragmented systems drive the need for integrated care, and her early CoCM training through the AIMS Center. She explains the CoCM “triangle” roles (PCP, behavioral health care manager, and psychiatric consultant), how consultation differs from traditional psychiatry, and why it can be rewarding through population-level impact. They cover lessons learned—clear roles, flexible workflows, strong communication, weekly systematic case reviews using a registry, and avoiding program drift—plus how remote teams work and resources like CFHA training, the job board, and the CFHA annual conference (Oct 8–10 in St. Louis).
Can I restart my GLP-1? The answer is yes — but it requires a strategic plan. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly what happens to your body when you restart a GLP-1, why the timing of your break matters more than you think, how to restart safely without landing yourself in misery, the biggest mistakes I see patients make, and how to get back on track without shame or guilt. Restarting doesn't have to mean starting completely over. But how you restart matters. Listen now! Episode Highlights: Why restarting at your previous dose will make you seriously sick What happens to your hunger, cravings, and fullness signals when you restart How long you've been off determines your restart dose The critical question that changes everything: weeks vs. months off Why weight regain after stopping is biology, not failure 3 practical strategies to minimize side effects and rebuild tolerance How to stay mentally on track without shame or comparison Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Primary care is where healthcare either works or quietly breaks, and Dr. Harry Albers helps us say the uncomfortable parts out loud. We talk about the emotional reality of managing chronic disease without instant wins, and the operational reality that burns physicians down: EMR documentation, inbox overload, prior authorizations, and the steady creep of uncompensated work after hours. When you stack that on top of low reimbursement and high overhead, it's no mystery why so many primary care physicians feel trapped in a system that rewards speed over relationships. We also dig into the RVU treadmill and what it does to quality, continuity, and professional confidence. If primary care can't get paid for time spent on prevention, lifestyle change, and complex decision-making, the incentives push referrals and volume. That has downstream effects for patients who struggle to see their own doctor, get routed to urgent care, or wait months to see a specialist. Access becomes the product, not just the outcome. From there, we explore concierge medicine and what “high-touch” care really means, including Dr. Albers' move into MD Squared and why a small patient panel can restore the core promise of primary care: access, advocacy, and a clinician who actually knows you. We don't ignore the hard question either, whether concierge and direct primary care models can scale during a national primary care shortage. We close with concrete advice for young doctors, health systems considering employment models, and patients who want to choose a PCP wisely, plus where AI in healthcare may reduce administrative burden soon.

As concerns escalate about the deadly Ebola virus outbreak in Africa, we bring you the unique insights of Dr. Peter Piot, a renowned microbiologist who co-discovered the virus 50 years ago during the first recorded outbreak of the disease. His on-the-ground account of that crisis was provided to us in April before the current outbreak was declared, but it contains valuable historical perspective and shares lessons learned that he carried forward in his consequential career. “What I saw from the beginning is the most important thing is to listen to people and that you need to act fast to save lives, before you have the evidence you would like to have.” He followed his contributions on Ebola by diving into the fight against HIV/AIDS, eventually reshaping global response in leadership roles at the World Health Organization and United Nations. As he shares with host Lindsey Smith, the learnings in that case were more pragmatic than scientific. “We had to redefine HIV/AIDS not as a medical problem but as an economic and security problem in order to get it on the political agenda.” Tune in for a fascinating episode that takes you from the gritty frontlines of public health crises to the battles for funding and attention in the halls of power as Dr. Piot shares what it actually takes to move the world to respond effectively to health threats.

"Insurance is there for when you're sick or when something goes incredibly wrong. It's not there for prevention."The traditional healthcare system is designed to treat you when you are sick. You go to a doctor for 15 minutes, get a basic blood panel, and if you are within the "reference range," you are told you are fine. The goal of this system is to get you from -1 back to 0.My guest this week is Prabhat Dhar, the Head of Growth for Superpower, a new platform that wants to take you from 0 to 100. Rather than treating late-stage diagnoses, Superpower provides comprehensive biomarker testing, looking at advanced metrics like ApoB, Fasting Insulin, and HSCRP, to detect diseases like cardiovascular risk or metabolic dysfunction up to a decade before they materialize as claims.In this episode, we discuss how Superpower translates complex biological data into a highly personalized, AI-driven action plan for your health (and your lifestyle). We also dive into why employers must stop relying on health insurance carriers to manage wellness, the power of decoupling proactive screening from the traditional system, and how to start bending the cost curve by focusing on root-cause analysis instead of late-stage symptom management.If you want to know what the future of employee health benefits looks like when it's built on individual biology instead of group claims data, this episode is for you.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Most people don't fear change itself — they fear the moment before they know if they're going to be okay. And according to Dr. Jimmie Williamson, that gap between uncertainty and clarity is where organizations either hold their people together or quietly lose them. In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, in the middle of a real organizational merger — making this conversation as timely and personal as it gets. Dr. Williamson draws on decades of clinical experience, behavioral health expertise, and his own career pivots (including leaving a 28-year career to step into healthcare) to walk us through what change actually does to the human brain and body — and what it takes to move through it well. Key topics include: Why even positive change triggers a physiological threat response — and what science says is actually happening in your brain The five stages of change people move through (shock, resistance, exploration, and beyond) and why getting stuck isn't a character flaw Dr. David Rock's SCARF model — the five psychological domains (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness) that determine whether people feel safe or threatened during transitions What leaders most commonly get wrong when communicating change — and the one mistake that always creates a narrative vacuum Why insecurity in leadership is more dangerous than the change itself The one self-care practice you can start today if you're feeling the weight of uncertainty Change is positive. It is good. And it is inevitable. This episode will help you believe that — and act like it. www.YourHealth.Org

You stopped your GLP-1 and now you're wondering can I just restart where I left off? Why am I so hungry again? Why are the side effects back? Did the medication stop working? These are questions I hear all the time in my practice. And the answer is not as simple as picking back up where you stopped. In this episode I am walking you through exactly what happens biologically when you stop a GLP-1, why restarting feels different than when you first started, how to restart safely, the common mistakes I see patients make, and how to get back on track mentally without shame. A pause does not erase your progress. But how you restart matters more than you think. Listen now! Episode Highlights: Why stopping your medication is not failure and why your biology is not your weakness What actually happens to your hunger, cravings, and fullness signals when you go off GLP-1s Why restarting at your old dose can land you in the emergency room How long is too long to be off and what dose to restart at based on your break The 3 most common restart mistakes Practical tips to minimize side effects and rebuild tolerance the right way How to stay mentally on track without shame or comparison to your first journey Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Learning the “basics” of AI begins with understanding how AI can help lighten the load family medicine educators carry every day in the clinic and classroom. In the first episode of our AI Deep Dive Summer Series, Drs Linda Chang and Rika Bajra discuss how AI has already affected medical education, from curriculum design and competency-based education to formative assessment and personalized learning. They show how AI literacy allows educators to reclaim time to focus on the human-centered aspects of patient care and medical education. And if you feel like it's too late to start learning about AI, they offer practical tips for both using and teaching AI in medical education. Hosted by Omari A.

The ongoing outbreak of hantavirus infections that originated with passengers on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius in April has generated concerns across the globe. This very rare occurrence has led to a number of deaths, required quarantining of passengers and prompted emergency responses from public health authorities in multiple countries. On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we're tapping the expertise of a leading authority on the subject, Dr. Jamie Childs of Yale University, to provide you with a scientific understanding of hantaviruses and what level of threat is posed by this situation. In short, Dr. Childs believes this is not the start of a pandemic. “The Andes variant involved here is one of the most dangerous hantaviruses, but it is totally controllable with contact tracing.” This timely conversation with host Lindsey Smith is informed by Dr. Childs' decades of hantavirus research as well as learnings from his role leading the CDC's environmental investigation during the landmark 1993 hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. And be sure to stay tuned to hear his concerns about the factors complicating containment of the current Ebola outbreak in East Africa. Note: this conversation was recorded on May 19th, 2026.

A patient finally decides to prioritize their health. They wait weeks for an appointment. We talk, we plan, and they leave with hope. Then the pharmacy calls with a price tag over $1,000 a month and that hope disappears. If that's happened to you, I made this episode for you. Because what most patients don't know is that there are real, legitimate ways to make this work and I'm breaking all of them down today. An insurance denial is not a verdict on your health or your worth. It just means we need to get strategic. Listen now! Episode Highlights: Why I never let my patients stop at the first insurance "no" The Zepbound Lilly Direct self-pay program and what it actually costs The Wegovy NovoCare self-pay option and its introductory pricing Oral GLP-1 medications — who they're right for and why they may surprise you Manufacturer coupons, GoodRx, and savings tools most patients walk past How to appeal a denial and exactly what documentation can move the needle Why thinking long-term changes everything about affordability Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Robert C. Smith is best known for arguing medicine lost its mind. This episode he explains why he is still proud to be a doctor. Primary care physicians deliver 75 percent of the nation's mental health care without training for it, and Smith has spent his career trying to fix that. But before the fix, he makes a case that may surprise his own readers: modern medicine has been astonishingly effective at what it was built to do. This episode is based on his article "How the mind-body split in medicine shaped modern clinical care," published on KevinMD. You will hear how 2,500 years of four humors and bloodletting gave way to a physical-disease framework that doubled life expectancy from 40 to 80. You will also learn why that same framework now leaves psychiatry stalled. Hear why the reformer who wants to overhaul mental health care still says medicine has never been better at the thing it was built to do. Tune into our episode "2026 Cholesterol Guidelines: LDL goals, lipoprotein(a), and coronary calcium scoring," brought to you by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. For the first time in eight years, LDL cholesterol goals have changed, and preventive cardiologist Seth Baum says the new guidelines are a long-overdue course correction. He breaks down the new LDL targets for your highest-risk patients, why the LDL hypothesis should be retired in favor of the LDL fact, why lipoprotein(a) screening finally belongs in every patient's workup, what a coronary calcium score over 300 really means for how aggressively you treat, and how to talk to statin-skeptical patients without losing their trust.

We mark National Mental Health Awareness Month on this episode by tapping the expertise of Dr. Steve Strakowski, an internationally recognized expert in bipolar disorder, who has spent decades studying the neurobiology and treatment of mood conditions while pushing just as hard on the structural barriers that keep effective treatments out of reach for more than half the people who need them. In this conversation with Raise the Line from Elsevier host Michael Carrese, Dr. Strakowski explains why access, not science, is now the biggest obstacle to improving mental health outcomes. He also addresses the heavy toll society pays for underfunding mental health prevention and treatment programs. “The money is spent eventually, but in the most expensive places like emergency rooms and prisons, and there is the human cost of suffering and suicides." This important discussion also covers: The persistent problem of Black patients presenting with mania being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia; Why he describes bipolar disorder as a reward-processing illness; The emerging therapies he finds encouraging.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of health care isn't always treatment, it's figuring out who should treat you in the first place. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Holly L. Thacker, MD sits down with Laura Lipold, MD, Director of Primary Care Women's Health at Cleveland Clinic, to map out how primary care, OB-GYN care and consultative women's health specialists can work together across every life stage.They talk candidly about why so many patients feel stuck right now, from limited access to primary care to the long shadow of menopause misinformation after the Women's Health Initiative. You'll hear practical guidance on what primary care can often handle (Pap tests, HPV and cervical cancer screening, mammogram orders, chronic disease management, obesity and metabolic health, behavioral health support) and when it's time to bring in a specialist for complex menopause and hormone therapy decisions, severe osteoporosis, cancer survivorship, blood clots, transplants, or major cardiovascular history.Support the show
