What You Need to Know is that the state of the union is great, because the American people are incredible. The state of the government, however, has never been worse, and this is a crisis. We are being bullied by our government here in the United States. Like a teacher who doesn't punish the bullies because they are related, the United States Government does not institute justice and protect the people for the sake of special favors for relatives and the corruptly connected. There are bullies all across our governments, but let us not be distracted, because we are still Americans, and people made in the image and likeness of God. Linda Tyler, author of The Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Cookbook: Delicious Whole-Food Recipes to Reduce Inflammation and Promote Health, joins Ed to discuss her book. She and Ed talk about the importance of diet, and the understanding of diets across the country. More people are eating worse, but they know it. 60% of our food is ultra-processed, causing illness and inflammation, and Linda tells us how we can avoid it. Kenneth Rapoza, business journalist and analyst at the Coalition for Prosperous America, joins Ed to discuss his recent article: ‘The Fight Against Fentanyl Must Start With Mexico'. Fentanyl is ravaging many Americans, and Communist China is almost certainly responsible for its production. But wiping out the supply coming into the United States requires that we deal with the fentanyl flow coming in through Mexico.

You promote health. You promote fitness. And ultimately you do now or will want to promote your own products or services.  But if you feel salesy, or spammy, it's going to show in your communications. Consider what's in it for them. Tell them. Tell them why you trust it and you have proof they trust you if they're on your email subscribers list! So they DO want to hear your recommendations! This follow-up to an affiliate promotions podcast gives you some very specific tips that work for me. And affiliate revenue is an amazing way to promote and earn even when you aren't launching!    Successful affiliate promotions (where you share something you know, love, and trust will be a benefit your community will love) require just three things. 1. Commit to promoting your affiliate repeatedly on each platform you choose. Two minimum and three is even better, emails are MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than 1 email, and 1 social media post.  People are BUSY. They don't see your posts the way you might imagine in your head! They may skip days of hopping into social media. (Lucky them!?) So.. you want to tap someone on the shoulder several times to get their attention. Use a new image or new Subject Line in your emails each time.  In the body of your email, the first time you send you can get really detailed about why this is relevant : My friend and colleague, Debra Atkinson created this event to answer questions you have AND those you may not yet know to ask. She gathered 40 experts... not "influencers" flashing bare bellies, but the in-the-lab experts, the go-to speakers for industry events and education. And you can access it for free!  In the body of your second email - a couple of days later you can refer to the first email: A few days ago I shared this with you and I know that exercise is an important reason you're here and plays a big part of your success.  In the 3rd email (maybe the 2nd), I put it at the TOP of the email above the actual greeting and make it short: Real quick: I don't want you to miss this and know you're busy. I mentioned this FREE event for Women's Exercise Over 40, It's starting NOW... so CLICK HERE to get in. I'll be sharing some of the highlights I'm loving from it with you too! See you there! 2. Come back to the email about the affiliate product you send and later in the day.  Resend it to unopens. This one is ridiculously easy ... and often OVERLOOKED. So if you're disappointed in the performance of your emails, no matter what you wanted (open rate, click-through, sales) ... you may make FAST improvements by being sure that your busy audience SEES the email. Remember they aren't sitting on their device waiting and hoping for an email from you! So resending brings it up from the buried inbox emails we all get.  3. Treat Social Media with respect when you Share affiliate promotions!  Share and share again.  Know your social media channels! On IG... share in stories and use the LINK so all someone has to do is CLICK. Be prepared with a link when someone DMs you and says, Where do I find that? AND use the link in your bio to go to multiple with a link tree or your custom page on the website where they get right to it. DO NOT put an ugly URL in your post copy.  Get smart with Facebook too. Stories are hot, news, and clickable. Use them that way! Posts are good.. but buried if you don't nurture them by liking and commenting and sharing with your personal pages. Add to groups or link groups to the post.  You can easily promote health and fitness and earn revenue without feeling salesy or spammy. If it's something you believe in, tell them about it with conviction! If it's not, reconsider sharing it. I've had plenty of products or people I once shared and no longer do for one reason or another it just stopped feeling right.    Other Episodes You May Like: Promote Affiliate Partners: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/promote-affiliate-partners   Social Media Advice for Fitness & Health Pros #303: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/social-media-advice/ Resources:  Business Scorecard:  https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/Scorecard  Marketing to Women Copywriting Course: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com//Copywriting-course Menopause Fitness Specialist:  https://www.flippingfifty.com/specialist   

In this episode, Dr Katherine Trebeck takes listeners into a deep conversation asking why our economy is not serving enough people and takes a hard look at the way our economic system operates through a public health lens. Katherine is a political economist, founder of the Wellbeing Economic Alliance, and describes herself as a freelance advocate for a more humane economy. Katherine casts a net of ideas around the distribution, or maldistribution, of wealth, resources, and power and how this impacts individuals, communities, and the planet, with a profound impact on health inequalities. Despite these flaws, there are opportunities for connection across areas that have traditionally been siloed and a move toward a wellbeing approach, one designed to deliver what people and the planet need. For example, improved levels of exercise and mental health have connections with improved liveability and public transport, and these arenas have co-benefits for us as humans living in the environment, so co-benefits for the environment as well. With a fascination for understanding the root causes of complex issues, Katherine compels audiences to look upstream and stay curious and attentive to the connections. She recommends channeling your inner three-year-old, asking but why, but why, why, and why, until we can get to the root cause, venturing beyond symptom-by-symptom, problem-by-problem, and crisis-to-crisis solutions.

In this podcast, Dr. Rodney and Karen talk about the Standard American Diet (SAD) and its impact on our health and potential longevity.Despite the fact that the United States outspends more than most of the world on medical care, they rank 43rd in life expectancy among large wealthy countries. What did you eat yesterday? Was it nutrient rich or simply calorie rich?Unfortunately, too many of us are in constant hurry resulting in popping pre-packaged food into the microwave or going through the drive-through. This type of food is calorie rich but has little nutritional value. To make matters worse, we crave more of these food because of the additives included in the package. We pack on extra pounds and damage our body's insulin regulation, deposit fat in the wrong places and increase inflammation throughout our bodies. All this could lead to an early grave.

Herbalism is a holistic practice that looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms of a particular illness that has been used for thousands of years in many cultures around the world and is still widely used today. Herbalism is based on the idea that plants contain natural compounds that can be used to treat a wide range of health conditions. In this episode will be exploring the ancient practice of herbalism and the powerful healing properties of tonic herbs and mushroom extracts. Which involves the use of plants and plant-based remedies to promote health and wellness. We'll be focusing on herbs for Sleep and mood imbalances and for men's health. There are many tonic herbs that have been used for centuries to address specific health concerns in men. From restoring energy levels to supporting prostate health.  We will be discussing some of the most commonly used herbs for both these areas, their benefits, and how to use them. My guest joining me today is Brandon Gilbert, founder of Hyperion Herbs. He has deeply studied Eastern philosophy since the age of  14. Founder: Hyperion Herbs He created Hyperion Herbs because tonic herbs had impacted his health and wellness significantly and he felt the Worlds best herbs and teas should be easy for anyone to obtain. We Will Discuss: Notable benefits of herbs   2. The top tonic herbs for men's health and their benefits   3. Herbs that can be used to improve sleep, focus, anxiety, depression, and mood imbalances   4.  How Reishi mushrooms help us physiologically, emotionally, and spiritually   5.

On this episode I had a conversation with Greg, the Secretary of the Libertarian Party Sober Caucus. Drew, the founder, started the LPSC in early 2021 to combat the state and how it actively works against recovery. Most of the leadership of the LPSC come from places of addiction themselves and are compassionate to the struggle. At the same time, however, they are against prohibition and believe a freer market can help more than hurt. A summary of their mission as said by the founder: "We as members of the Sober Caucus; feel from our personal experience, along with a plethora of data that the "War on Drugs' has been a failed endeavor costing trillions of dollars, countless lives, and untold damage to families. Our purpose as the Sober Caucus is to empower individuals using Libertarian principles and policies to encourage a sober lifestyle. We encourage the legality of safe use and distribution of all mood and mind altering substances. We would like to see the end of the draconian 'War on Drugs' in our lifetime. It is a gross miscarriage of justice to cage people who pursue happiness by their own means. It is also equally heinous to punish those seeking to self-medicate physical and/or mental illnesses by all means available to them. "We seek Free Market mechanisms to empower domestic entrepreneurship supply, processing, and distribution ending the dangers currently faced with prohibition. These policies will create accountability for producers and mitigate violence of criminal enterprise in the black market. "Whereas the 'War on Drugs' has caused more damage than the drugs themselves, we seek to eliminate any legislation pursuing criminal charges against individuals for possession, use, manufacture, and distribution. It is time to surrender to reality and end the theft of liberty over victimless crime." Greg and I explored these ideas and further elaborated on the intersection between freedom and sobriety.

This week, please join author Trisha Singh as she discusses her article "Manganese-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Takotsubo Syndrome." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass for the journal and its editors. We're your co-hosts. I'm Dr. Carolyn Nam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Carolyn, very interesting feature discussion this week. Many times we hear in magnetic resonance imaging the use of gadolinium contrast. And remember, gadolinium is an extracellular agent. And when we apply it in the heart, we look for infarcts, or areas of the heart that are perhaps dead, or scarred over. This week's feature discusses manganese as a contrast agent and it is an intracellular contrast agent. And very interestingly, it identifies calcium handling, so it's a marker of viability. And these authors are going to apply manganese as well as gadolinium in trying to understand mechanisms behind Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. But before we get to that, how about we grab a cup of coffee and jump into some of the other articles in the issue? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, I'd love to tell you about the other articles. But just have to first say, I loved your description of the feature paper. It's right up your alley and I can't wait to learn more. But my first paper today I want to talk about pulse field ablation. Now, what is that? Pulse field ablation, or PFA, is a unique and novel technique to treat atrial fibrillation. It has a unique safety profile largely related to its preferentially for myocardial tissue ablation. And thus, sparing the esophagus and thus, deemed to have a unique safety profile. Now, a pentaspline catheter was the first such PFA system studied for AF ablation. And in the initial trials the catheter was used for pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial posterior wall ablation. However, following its regulatory approval in Europe, in clinical practice, physicians have ablated both these locations and expanded lesions that could be in closer proximity to the coronary arteries. Now, this is an unstudied important issue since preclinical and maybe some clinical data have raised the potential for coronary arterial spasm. Hence, the investigators led by Dr. Vivek Reddy from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and colleagues studied the vasal spastic potential of PFA lesion sets, both remote from and adjacent to coronary arteries. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn, this is a really interesting question. So what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: In this retrospective analysis of a series of 25 patients undergoing PFA for atrial fibrillation in whom coronary angiography was performed pre, during and post ablation, they found that during pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial posterior wall ablation, coronary spasm did not occur. However, cavotricuspid isthmus ablation provoked severe subtotal vasospasm in five out of five consecutive patients. And this was relieved by in coronary nitroglycerin. ST elevation was not observed. No patient had severe spasm if first pretreated with parenteral nitroglycerin, either intracoronary or intravenous. And so in summary, coronary vasospasm was not provoked during PFA at locations remote from the coronary arteries. But when the energy is delivered adjacent to a coronary artery, like in cavotricuspid isthmus ablation, PFA did provoke subclinical vasospasm. And the phenomenon was attenuated by nitroglycerine administered either post hoc to treat spasm or as prophylaxis. And this is discussed in accompanying editorial, I like it, “Coronary Vasospasm in PFA Primum Non Nocere” by Drs. Estes and Sundeep and Saba. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice Carolyn. Very important research in this area using that particular methodology. Well Carolyn, my next study comes to us again from preclinical science. And Carolyn, this study evaluated mechanisms responsible for pulmonary hypertension. So as background, pulmonary hypertension is associated with increased expression of VEGFA and it's receptor VEGFR-2. But whether and how activation of VEGFA signal participates in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension, that's unclear. And so these authors led by Dr. Yangxin Chen from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital and Sun Yat-Sen University evaluated VEGFA, VEGFR-2 signal activation and VEGFR-2 Y949 dependent vascular leak in lung samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension as well as in mice exposed to hypoxia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Another one of those excellent translational pieces, isn't it Greg? So what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right Carolyn. So these authors found that pulmonary hypertension led to excessive pulmonary vascular leak in both patients and hypoxic mice. And this was owing to over activated VEGFA and VEGFR-2 Y949 signaling axis. Abolishing VEGFR-2 Y949 signaling via a specific point mutation was sufficient to prevent pulmonary vascular permeability and inhibit macrophage infiltration and Rac1 activation in smooth muscle cells under hypoxia exposure. This, in turn, led to alleviation of pulmonary hypertension manifestations including muscularization of distal pulmonary arterials, elevation of right ventricular systolic pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy. And so Carolyn, in summary, these results suggest that VEGFA, VEGFR-2 Y949 dependent vascular permeability is an important determinant in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and might serve as an attractive therapeutic target pathway for this disease. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Aw, thanks Greg for explaining that so well. The next paper talks about transcatheter aortic valve replacement of TAVR, recognizing that it is a well established treatment now for high and intermediate risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, the question asked here is what makes some, but not all patients improve their left ventricular ejection fraction following TAVR associated after load reduction? Now, hypothesizing that circulating microRNAs may play a role here, the authors led by corresponding authors, Dr. Hosen and Jansen from University of Bonn and their colleagues profiled the differential expression of microRNAs in circulating extracellular vesicles in patients after TAVR. And in particular, the novel role of circulating microRNA 1225p in cardiomyocytes. Dr. Greg Hundley: Oh wow. So Carolyn, important study. So what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well, first aortic stenosis increases circulating microRNA 1225p, which correlated with a lack of improvement of the EF in patients after TAVR. Extracellular vesicles harbored microRNA 1225p and facilitated its startling into the cardiomyocytes. Vesicular shuttling of this particular microRNA was regulated by a direct interaction with a multifunctional RNA binding protein called heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U in a sequence specific manner. Extracellular vesicles containing the specific microRNA post transcriptionally repressed BCL2 an anti-apoptotic gene, which is central to cell viability and apoptosis. So in summary, Greg, an increase in extracellular vesicle microRNA 1225p in patients with aortic stenosis represents a novel mechanism for the deterioration of cardiac function in patients following TAVR. And pharmacological manipulation of this axis may improve ejection fraction and cardiac function in patients with aortic stenosis by improving the viability of cardiomyocytes, which opens the door to a potential therapeutic approach in patients with limited EF improvement following TAVR. Dr. Greg Hundley: Oh Carolyn, beautiful, beautiful description of that wonderful preclinical science. Well, let's reach into the mail bag and see what else is in the issue. And first, there's a research letter by Professor van Raalte entitled “Kidney Hemodynamic Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Blockades Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 Inhibition Alone and in Their Combination: A Crossover Randomized Trial in People with Type 2 Diabetes.” And Carolyn, there's also an In Depth piece from Dr. Marx entitled “GLP1 Receptor Agonist for the Reduction of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.” Dr. Carolyn Lam: Very, very nice papers, those two. There's also an exchange of letters between Drs. Hou and Sedej regarding the article, “Fine Tuning Cardiac Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 Receptor Signaling to Promote Health and Longevity.” As well as a Perspective by Dr. Eagle, “Comments on the 2022 Aortic Guidelines: Seeking More Precision in Aortic Care.” Now, let's go onto the feature discussion of all things MRI, shall we? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet. More on manganese. Welcome listeners to this very interesting feature discussion on December 13th. And we have with us Dr. Trisha Singh from the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland. Welcome, Trisha. This is a fascinating study incorporating manganese cardiovascular magnetic resonance to study some of the mechanistic underpinnings of hypokinesis left ventricular hypokinesis in patients with Takotsubo syndrome. So maybe just describe for us some of the background information that went into the preparation of your study, and what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Trisha Singh: Yes, of course. So we know with patients with Takotsubo syndrome, it predominantly affects middle aged women, patients present with a degree of left ventricular dysfunction, which is transient. And, unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to diagnose because it can phenotypically present very similar to an acute coronary syndrome. We know from previous studies that these patients do have ongoing symptoms despite normalization of their LV function. And actually their outcomes are not as benign as previously thought. In terms of manganese enhanced MRI imaging, we at Edinburgh University have imaged patients with other cardiac conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy. And have established that it can be used as a surrogate marker of myocardial calcium uptake and handling. So we were very interested to see whether or not patients with acute Takotsubo syndrome have got a myocardial calcium dysfunction and more importantly whether or not this translates into long-term dysfunction and perhaps could explain their symptoms and worse prognosis in long-term. Dr. Greg Hundley: Trisha, manganese MRI. Now, we hear about gadolinium MRI, how is manganese different? You mentioned it's a nice marker for calcium handling. Is this widely used clinically? What kind of contrast does it provide? Dr. Trisha Singh: So manganese was actually one of the first contrast agents to be used with magnetic resonance imaging. It kind of came about in the 1970s and 1980s. And previous animal models have looked at how it is essentially an intracellular contrast agent. And what I mean by that is manganese is a calcium analog and therefore, in cells where they are viable and there's intact cell function, they will be taken up through a voltage gated calcium channels. So, for example, in the heart. So the theory is that manganese, when you've got normal viability, manganese is taken up into the myocardium via voltage gate calcium channels. And several studies have shown that if you then have disease myocardium, these tissues do not take up the manganese as normal tissue would. And the main difference between manganese and gadolinium is they are both paramagnetic, which is why they're helpful and useful in MRI. But gadolinium, as a compound, is too big and it cannot cross an intact cell membrane and therefore, gadolinium is more extracellular. And as, we know, accumulates in tissues where there is increased edema, or water content. So gadolinium, for all intents and purposes, is incredibly useful contrast agent, certainly what we use predominantly at the moment in clinical practice, but it is extracellular. So the theory behind manganese is that it is an intracellular contrast agent as opposed to gadolinium. And where gadolinium accumulates in disease tissue, manganese accumulates in viable tissue. So they behave almost kind of in contrast to each other. And currently, manganese is not used in clinical practice. I think the only clinical compound contrast agent utilizing manganese was mangafodipir, otherwise known as Teslascan, which I believe came off the market in 2012 and that was predominantly used for imaging liver metastasis. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well Trisha, thank you for clarifying for us the difference between manganese, the intracellular contrast agent, and gadolinium, the extracellular contrast agent, that's so widely used clinically. Well, with that description, can you describe for us now, your study population and your study design? Dr. Trisha Singh: Perfect. So the study population was we aimed to recruit 20 patients with acute Takotsubo syndrome. The diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome was based on a clinical diagnosis, so all our patients underwent a baseline echocardiography and invasive coronary angiography. Now, for us, the coronary angiography was quite important because we wanted to ensure we ruled out anyone with an acute myocardial infarction, which can often be tricky in this cohort of patients. So after recruiting 20 patients during the acute phase of Takotsubo, they all underwent a baseline gadolinium enhanced MRI scan followed by a manganese enhanced MRI scan. And these were done at least 48 hours a part. And then about three months roughly after the acute index, they were all invited to participate in a second manganese enhanced MRI scan. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very good. So two exams separated longitudinally over time. What were your study results? Dr. Trisha Singh: Our results demonstrated that during the acute phase as one would expect, patients had a degree of left ventricular dysfunction. The majority of our patients had afibrillar Takotsubo, so had afibrillar ballooning with preservation of the basal segments. With this, we also noted that in the areas that were affected by Takotsubo, so kind of the mid ventricular wall and the apex that all patients had significantly elevated native T1 and associated T2 as well. And as we expected there was reduced uptake of manganese and therefore kind of reduced calcium uptake in the myocardium in the area affected by Takotsubo syndrome. Interesting, what we also noticed was that all these patients had significantly elevated LV mass, which has been described in previous Takotsubo papers, certainly by Professor Dawson. And when you measured the left ventricular wall thickness, the LV wall thickness is elevated in the affected and actually not even in the non-affected areas, which I suspect explains why in the acute phase people almost doubles up which kind I guess fit with kind of acute myocardial edema and intense water content. And then, three months later when these patients returned for their follow-up scan, a lot of the acute changes had resolved. So native T2 values had improved and gone back to baseline. Native T1 and post contrast T1 values had remained elevated compared to the control population. And what we found was that manganese uptake, though it had improved, it still remained abnormal and reduced compared to the control population, which is a finding that we weren't expecting to find. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very interesting. So acutely we've got extracellular water there, elevation of myocardial T2, and also impaired manganese uptake. So intracellular abnormalities with calcium handling. Then later, so three months later, we have restoration of myocardial T2 so the extra water content is absent, but we have impaired manganese uptake indicating an abnormality with calcium handling. So how do we put this all together mechanistically? What does this tell us about the pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome? Dr. Trisha Singh: For one thing, I think we can say that there is, as described before, there is obviously intense myocardial edema present in patients with acute Takotsubo. And I think the significant elevation in T2 and LV mass kind of all fits together. Actually interestingly, as native T2 improves in their follow-up scans, the LV mass actually all return back to normal baseline. So I think the acute edema does resolve. And as you said, interestingly, despite all of these patients, their LV function completely recover. And despite that their myocardial calcium uptake, or handling remain normal. And I think that's not been demonstrated before. And I think it just points to that there is obviously, still something going on in the myocardium and it's not behaving completely normally despite completely normal kind of gross LV function. And potentially, this might point in the direction of why these patients have ongoing symptoms. So, certainly, from our observational cohort group, about 70% of patients had ongoing symptoms and this was predominantly breathlessness and palpitations. And potentially, might be related to why patients have worse outcomes compared to the general population. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And Trisha, can you describe, was there a therapeutic intervention between the acute and then the three month later measurements? Were these patients administered any type of medical therapy and were there differences in what those therapies may have been between different patients in your study? Dr. Trisha Singh: So predominantly, most of the patient population that were started on some combination of heart treatment due to the baseline LV dysfunction. And this kind of was a combination of most of them were on Ramipril, a few of them were also on spironolactone or eplerenone. And then, every single one was on furosemide. And interestingly, I mean I appreciate, I think the population group was quite small, so it's very difficult to compare those that were on kind of full heart failure treatment versus those who were just on beta blocker and ramipril therapy. But even in that cohort there was a split of about, I think predominantly, I think 17, 16 patients were on kind just beta blockers and ramipril as opposed to beta blocker, ramipril, spironolactone. And there was no difference kind of in the recovery in manganese uptake in that cohort. But, again, the numbers are quite small, so I think it's difficult to extrapolate any kind of true meaning in that. Of course, we know there's a lack of randomized control trial data looking at how to best treat patients with acute Takotsubo syndrome and certainly, what treatment may prevent these patients from having a recurrence of Takotsubo. And I know some of the TACA registry data has looked at actually despite the fact patients of being on beta blocker, or ramipril therapy, they still go having recurrence of Takotsubo and certainly of our cohort, one of our patients went on having a recurrent episode of Takotsubo within a year of her index event and she was on aspirin, beta blocker, spironolactone as well. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. And then lastly, when you made these measurements looking at the manganese uptake or lack thereof, were these in the regions of myocardium where you mentioned many had apical LV wall motion abnormalities, were they in those regions or did you also measure regions remote to where the wall motion abnormality occurred? Dr. Trisha Singh: Of course. So we took measurements in the affected regions of the heart that kind of demonstrated spironolactone syndrome. And we also took measurements in kind of, so to speak, the remote segments of the heart. Now, for the remote segments of the heart, we could only measure native T1 and post contrast T1 at 30 minutes and to measure manganese uptake well, unfortunately, what we have to do is take a measurement over time, so we'd do every two and a half minutes for 30 minutes after the manganese contrast. So we weren't able to calculate manganese uptake in the remote regions. But what we could do was measure the native T1 in the remote region, and then the post contrast T1 and see how it differed with the region of interest in the affected portion of the heart, so to speak. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very good. Well, Trisha, with this really exciting research and very nice methodology, what do you see as the next study to be performed in patients with Takotsubo? Dr. Trisha Singh: So I think, in terms of manganese enhanced imaging, I think it'd be really interesting to re-scan these patients at one year or at two years. And the question there is whether or not their manganese uptake ever recovers really. I know we previously talked about this and thought about whether or not these patients who go onto developing Takotsubo syndrome might actually have a kind of an underlying cardiomyopathy that puts them at risk of developing Takotsubo with stress. So it'd be interesting to see whether or not actually their calcium uptake ever recovers in the long-term, or whether actually they have more of a chronic heart failure type like picture. And I think another area of interest would be to see potentially using manganese imaging as a noninvasive measure of kind of myocardial calcium activity and to see whether or there's any changes with therapy over the course of months to years or so. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Well listeners, we want to thank Dr. Trisha Singh from University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland for bringing us this really interesting article in patients with Takotsubo syndrome demonstrating that there is a marked perturbation of myocardial manganese uptake, which is most evident in the acute phase of Takotsubo presentation, but also persists for at least three months despite apparent restoration of normal left ventricular ejection fraction and resolution of myocardial edema. All of this suggesting that abnormal myocardial calcium handling may be implicated in the pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome. Well, on behalf of Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week. And we will catch you next week on the run. This program is copyright of the American Heart Association 2022.

Repost from Season 2, 2019, Episode #68 - originally recorded in 2017. This was recorded with my former co-host, colleague, business partner and BFF, Dr. Jeannie Thomason on our former podcast. This ties in to the last few episodes, especially since they were all originally released in 2019. Side note - the reason I'm reposting from Seasons 1-2 is that none of those episodes transferred when I moved hosting. Those were pivotal in helping listeners learn what is natural, whole health aka naturopathy. In this episode, we go into the differences between practitioners. A practitioner we mention is Dr. Mercedes Colburn, who is a personal friend of ours. She mapped the equine, canine and feline eyes for iridology. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/doggone-truth/message

How can Feng Shui help promote health in the home? Can Feng Shui help my health issues? Definitely! Feng Shui contains many remedies, tools, and practices that will improve health issues through following the Flying Stars in the home and applying these remedies daily.    There are two ways that Feng Shui can impact your inner world and your outer environment. Inner work allows you to change your own vibration and frequency and it will oftentimes prompt you to change things around your home in order to put everything in balance.  Sometimes you start with changing your home around and that invites you to do the inner work as well.    To be in alignment with your present self, your future self and the direction in which you want to travel requires a lot of healing. It often invites you to let go of things from your past that holds you back in your personal growth, your career, and your relationships which can be detrimental to your health and wealth. Your overall well-being requires you to release trauma, and negative energy and make room for the new, positive light waiting to shine into your life. In this episode, I'll guide you through cleaning out clutter, setting up a home that's supportive of your needs, and how to optimize your health and wellness through color alone. With this episode, you'll be on the right track to raise the vibration and live a new, well-supported, healthy life. 

Heidi Marsh is the Executive Chef for one of the world's most renowned esports franchises, Team Liquid. In this episode, we discuss how she has partnered with Team Liquid to use food and community to foster and reimagine well-being amongst esports athletes. Not only do we go into the nutritional program she's built for Team Liquid athletes, but we explore the unique nutritional needs of esports players as they seek to optimize their performance and lengthen their careers. She discusses how food can be used as a tool to address mental health concerns and also boost performance and cosmetic appearance. Chef Heidi also has great nutritional advice for all listeners, and speaks about the importance of mindful eating and consuming a biodiverse diet. She provides insight into the career trajectory of a chef—and how success in the profession is about so much more than food. At her heart, Chef Heidi is a teacher. And that's why I know you are going to love this episode. When I met her at the Team Liquid training facility, I was struck by how she was able to take complex concepts and break them down for laypeople to understand. My hope with this episode is that you will be inspired to evaluate your current nutritional habits and explore ways that you can make accessible tweaks to live a healthier life.

Entrustable Professional Activities, or EPAs, are a concept that was developed by Olle ten Cate in 2005 as a way to operationalize and assess competency-based medical education.  EPAs are observable, routine activities that a general pediatrician or subspecialist should be able to perform safely and effectively to meet the needs of their patients. The American Board of Pediatrics, or ABP, collaborated with the education community several years ago to develop  17 core EPAs that are essential activities needed for practice in general pediatrics and that can be used as a framework for curriculum and assessment.  The ABP also worked with the subspecialty community to develop EPAs that define what patients need from our subspecialty physicians. However, the original pediatric EPA framework developed by the ABP in conjunction with the general pediatrics and subspecialty communities did not adequately address structural racism, discrimination, and social determinants of health and their contribution to inequities. Today, we are going to hear about the development and content of a revised EPA entitled: Use of Population Health Strategies and Quality Improvement Methods to Promote Health and Address Racism, Discrimination, and Other Contributors to Inequities Among Pediatric Populations. Today, I am happy to be speaking with Dr. Ndidi Unaka and Dr. David Turner.  Ndidi is a pediatric hospitalist who is involved in Cincinnati Children's Community Health initiatives, medical director of QI and data analytics for Cincinnati Children's ACO called HealthVine and until recently was the associate program director of the pediatric residency program at Cincinnati Children's.  David is the Vice President of Competency-Based Medical Education at the American Board of Pediatrics.

Lisa is joined by Jessica Van Antwerp, LMT, CPS the Owner of Integral Travel.  Jessica is also a Retreat Leader. The word “unflappable” has been used to describe Jessica by more than one person. But she would absolutely not describe herself that way. Prone to anxiety, self-doubt was programmed into her psyche from a very young age.That anxiety was compounded by weight and body-image issues and low self-esteem, which led her to addiction.She's done a lot of work to conquer these issues. She changed her diet and developed an exercise routine that helps her maintain a healthy body weight without it having to be a part-time job. She devoted herself to a daily practice of qigong and meditation that helps ease the worries in her heart and mind. She uses these practices on a daily basis to quell her anxiety. And based on the above perception of her, they must work!Jessica absolutely loves sharing the knowledge and wisdom she's developed through her ordeals. Becoming a member of the Integral Travel team has given her the opportunity to take people out of their daily routines to expose them to new ways of being and seeing things, affecting personal growth and empowerment in their own wellbeing. And there is nothing more fulfilling to her than that.From teaching stretches that address pain patterns, meditation techniques to find peace in one's heart, to sharing delicious, nutritious recipes, she loves being healthy – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Because when we are healthy, we feel good. And when we feel good, we become beacons of light, inspiring everyone we come into contact with, making the world a better place. And we all know the world needs more of us.From https://integraltravel.com/about-us/what-is-integral-travel/ Integral Travel is a medium for individualand community transformation.Our wellness adventures promote health and well-being through physical, psychological, and spiritual activities. We combine outer exploration of other countries and cultures with an exploration of your inner landscape through daily mindfulness practices, journaling, and discussion. We carefully craft our programs to promote self-awareness, build interpersonal skills, and expand global perspectives.Our belief is that exploration brings you freedom and joy. Your health and happiness is a reflection of the quality of your relationship to yourself, your community and your natural environment. When these dynamic aspects become consciously engaged, integrated and balanced, you thrive.Our Passion is creating unique cross-cultural opportunities for travelers to test this hypothesis. Each Integral Travel itinerary blends Wellness, Immersion, and Adventure in a manner that naturally encourages interaction, observation, and dialogue. Each day of our adventures blends Mindfulness, Action, and Reflection. And each of our mindfulness sessions are a unique combination of yoga, qigong, and meditation to address your Mind, Body, and Spirit.Our Hope is that combining inner exploration with outer exploration on the other side of the world will actually bring you home…to yourself, cultivating optimal health and happiness to create positive changes in the world around you.

This week's episode is filled with lots of wisdom around health and wellness through the lens of entrepreneurship. I interviewed Anabelle about a month ago, and she shares so much wisdom when it comes to building a business with the intention of empowering her staff, equipping them with leadership skills, and forming a strong community. These are all critical things when building a business to make sure the environment you're creating is one of joy and happiness, where your employees feel a sense of belonging, which we are learning is so important for a person's mental health. A job can be so draining on ones life that it consumes all other areas as well. She also shares wisdom when it comes to protecting your mental health as a business owner, because I KNOW IT IS HARD, but if we don't take care of ourselves, our businesses won't survive either.Maestri Tutoring Website | Instagram | YouTube | FacebookJuice Vibe Bar Website | InstagramBizzi Space Website | InstagramAll of her businesses are founded on developing healthy habits as well as supporting others in the community.

Returning To Ancient Remedies To Promote Health | This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, ButcherBox, and Athletic GreensModern medicine has come a long way, there’s no doubt about it. But our ancient ancestors had an in-depth understanding of how to use food and plants as medicine and this wisdom still holds true today. Our conventional medical system heavily relies on prescription medication to silence, or “manage,” symptoms. I call this the “pill-for-ever-ill” model of medicine. This often turns into a lifelong dependence without ever getting to the root of the problem. If we instead look at where the imbalance is stemming from and use a variety of tools to treat it—like food, stress reduction, herbs, etc.—we can see profound improvements and, many times, a reversal of disease. I was so happy to connect with Dr. Josh Axe to talk more about how ancient remedies can help us create the vibrant health we deserve and avoid lifelong health struggles. Dr. Axe is a certified doctor of natural medicine, a doctor of chiropractic, and a clinical nutritionist with a passion to help people get healthy by empowering them to use nutrition to fuel their health. He is the bestselling author of Keto Diet, Eat Dirt, and Collagen Diet and author of the book Ancient Remedies. He is also the co-founder of Ancient Nutrition, which provides protein powders, holistic supplements, vitamins, essential oils and more to the modern world.

November 11, 2020: Seth Pazinski from the ONC for HIT joins us to flesh out the heart of the 2020-2025 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan. How can you get your hands on it? What’s the best way to use it? The plan’s mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities using technology and health information that is accessible when and where it matters most. Is there an underlying set of assumptions around the problems that we're facing? Can the plan reduce current regulatory burdens? What does it mean for the individual to be first? And what expectations does it set for data sharing including privacy and security of information?Key Points:The six principles that underlie the plan’s strategy [00:05:51] Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) [00:08:36] Promote Health and Wellness and Enhance the Delivery and Experience of Care [00:08:55] One thing we focus on is improving access to smartphones and other technologies amongst at-risk minority, rural, disabled and tribal populations [00:15:10] Plans for aligning and coordinating efforts that focus on health disparities or social determinants [00:17:00] ONC did a specific strategy in response to a congressional requirement that was focused on provider burden reduction [00:20:05] It creates the opportunity for advancements and analytics including machine learning, artificial intelligence and the ability to forecast and have the potential to transform care and improve health [00:23:40] 2020-2025 Federal Health IT Strategic Plan

As public health advertisements move online, it becomes possible to run inexpensive randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) thereof. Here we report the results of an online RCT to improve food choices and integrate exercise into daily activities of internet users. People searching for pre-specified terms were randomized to receive one of several professionally developed campaign advertisements or the “status quo” (ads that would otherwise have been served). For 1-month pre-intervention and post-intervention, their searches for health-promoting goods or services were recorded. Our results show that 48% of people who were exposed to the ads made future searches for weight loss information, compared with 32% of those in the control group—a 50% increase. The advertisements varied in efficacy. However, the effectiveness of the advertisements may be greatly improved by targeting individuals based on their lifestyle preferences and/or sociodemographic characteristics, which together explain 49% of the variation in response to the ads. These results demonstrate that online advertisements hold promise as a mechanism for changing population health behaviors. They also provide researchers powerful ways to measure and improve the effectiveness of online public health interventions. Finally, we show that corporations that use these sophisticated tools to promote unhealthy products can potentially be outbid and outmaneuvered. Yom-Tov E, Shembekar J, Barclay S, Muennig P.

What if a message suddenly appeared on your bathroom mirror to tell you that your most recent bowel movement contained a clue to a possible health problem? The bathroom will never be the same again. It is about to become the epicenter of the health hub of the future, according to Eric Olson, director of design at Karten Design, a Los Angeles-based, research-driven, product innovation company. Eric sees the room that we all interact with multiple times a day as the perfectly connected environment to help us improve our wellness and live more fulfilling lives. In this interview, recorded at the USC Center for Body Computing Conference, he explains how the smart toilet could alert us to potentially life-threatening diseases, well before a traditional screening in a doctors office. He also outlines his vision for a connected floor surface with the ability to predict a person’s likelihood to fall and a mirror equipped with an infrared camera capable of detecting changes in skin composition.

Dr. David Albert is a visionary physician and innovator in the field of digital health. As an entrepreneur he has developed medical products and nurtured new technologies over the last 30 years. A graduate of Harvard College and Duke University Medical School, Dr. Albert has founded three tech companies, InnovAlarm, Lifetone Technology and AliveCor his most recent endeavor, which has developed the mobile ECG or electrocardiogram sensor.

In this in-depth interview, recorded at the USC Center for Body Computing Conference, Dr Albert explains his vision for future medical technology, which he says has the potential to impact disease, aging and enhance human longevity. SHOW NOTES David Albert (@DrDave01) is the founder and Chief Medical Officer at AliveCor (@AliveCor ‏). LLAMA host Peter Bowes met David at the 2017 USC Center for Body Computing Conference, where he was presented, by Dr Leslie Saxon, with the inaugural USC CBC Digital Health Innovator Award. Watch videos from the conference here. “Peace of mind is often times as important as a piece of medical information. Anxiety and stress impact our lives, impact our longevity.” "I shame my children in their work out habits and that's had a positive impact on them. I think we can all have an impact on our fellow man and whether or not I live a year longer or not, the quality of my life will be better and I think that's key. You know it's not just longevity it's quality." “You can have a direct impact with your lifestyle on your longevity and on your functional longevity, that is your quality of life, at an older age." “Affluence impacts longevity anywhere in the world so if you are more affluent you will live longer. Now that's the kind of discrimination that I think we have to work to fight." "Knowing facts is not nearly as important as being able to adapt to a changing environment and being able to continuously learn."

The Flint water crisis raised questions about the extent to which health care professionals considered environmental health to be part of their scope of practice – and whether clinicians were sufficiently attuned to the voices of residents. This month, we are joined by Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, who describes how clinicians worked to expose the water crisis in Flint, and how health professions students can bridge the gap between individual and population health in their own work as clinicians. Then we talk with Dr. Camara Jones, who discusses clinicians’ broader obligations to promote health equity and reduce health disparities, and how clinicians can combat systemic injustice in their own communities.

In our latest episode, we sit down for a lovely chit-chat with dr. Sonia Wibisono.

According to Cancer Research UK, 1 in 3 of people will develop cancer of some sort in their lifetime. The cause of most diseases including cancer remains unknown. Treatment is therefore of the symptoms of diseases rather than the causes of the disease itself. Unsurprising, 75% of all visits to the doctor involve symptoms of illness which are based on excessive or chronic stress. Whilst medication helps in the short term, current scientific research indicates that unless chronic stress is addressed in a timely manner, further diseases are inevitably created. Ignoring the psychosocial and emotional aspects that are impacted on the individuals life produce an ever revolving cycle of mental instability that impacts on the person's ability to function within the normal realms of well-being. Therefore the need to take responsibility for our health and well-being has never been so important. In this segment of The NLP View Radio Show host, Donna Blinston, RGN talks to Marion Dias, about her best-selling book Why Did the Cancer Disappear: Become Free From Cancer & Promote Health.

With nearly 2.2 billion people comprising the Global Church, there are more followers of Jesus in the world today than at any point in history. And yet, 21,000 children die silently every day from preventable and treatable diseases. Across the world, 1.4 billion people live on less than $1.50 daily. More than 260 million Africans cannot read or write. And, perhaps most troubling of all, the vulnerable and marginalized have no voice and no ability to respond to the systems and power structures that keep these realities exactly the way they are.It is time to wake the giant. It is time for the local Church and her 2.2 billion members to break out of her walls and intentionally push against the tide of disease, famine, illiteracy, extreme poverty and injustice. Across the world and in our own backyards, the local Church is perfectly positioned to bring about lasting change in its local community.But, community betterment activities can only be transformational when they are rooted in the Mission of Jesus. Lasting change must be gospel-centered and focused on the integrated nature of spiritual, social and material realities. Life in its fullness is rooted in Christ, pursuing His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Transformational development must come from the ground up, with an integrated approach that cultivates local leadership and requires the participation and ownership from the community itself. It means walking with the community, and not doing for them what they can do for themselves once equipped.We must employ multi-faceted solutions that address the specific root causes of poverty within each community. Our solutions should aim to:Promote Health and Prevent DiseaseEducate the MarginalizedEmpower The Poor with Economic OpportunitiesEquip The Vulnerable to Break the Cycle Only then, will transformational development take place, and we will begin to see the Kingdom on earth, as God intended.
