In this utterly informative sit-down session, we got to speak with assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at BGSU and Spring 2025 ICS Faculty Fellow Meagan Docherty to talk about gun violence reduction and prevention in Toldeo, Ohio.  She identifies gun violence as a public health crisis that disproportionately impacts children and minority communities. Docherty stresses the idea that gun violence prevention and reduction is an issue that must be addressed collaboratively with scholars, politicians, and community engagement. To tackle this issue Docherty works with community groups such as the Toledo Community action table and Moms Demand Action to gather a community perspective, as she believes no progress can be made without the people who are directly impacted by gun violence. Docherty hopes to increase visibility surrounding human health and safety, children, racial equity and address gun violence prevention on both local and state levels. Want to delve even deeper into this important issue?

Psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Why kratom addiction is the next public health crisis." Muhamad explains how kratom, a botanical imported from Southeast Asia, has rapidly spread across the U.S., marketed as a natural remedy for pain and opioid withdrawal. He warns that its potent alkaloids act directly on opioid receptors, leading to dependence, withdrawal, psychosis, and even fatalities. Muhamad outlines the surge in use during the COVID-19 pandemic, the risks to youth, and the dangers of contamination and unregulated production. He also highlights the lack of tailored treatments for kratom dependence, the need for stronger regulation, and the importance of educating the public about its hidden dangers. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of why kratom's growth poses urgent challenges for both clinicians and policymakers. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

When was the last time you heard joy described as a public health threat? In today's satirical bulletin, the Centers for Control of Happiness warn of dangerous “joy clusters” linked to Mono Mutante readings—and propose emergency bans on shared laughter in community gardens. Then, in our excerpt from Mono Mutante, we meet Lova Saskatoon, a Canadian farmer whose battle against a GMO giant became a legal precedent for seed sovereignty. Her story—rooted in courage, resilience, and loss—is a reminder that controlling the seed supply is just another form of controlling people. From absurd headlines to hard truths, this episode mixes comedy, conscience, and a deep respect for those who fight to keep our food free.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. Today's episode dives deep into a topic that's been quietly reshaping lives and families across the globe: gambling addiction. Host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Daniela Lobo, a leading expert in addiction psychiatry, to explore just how dramatically gambling—especially online and sports betting—has surged in prevalence, fueled by intensive marketing and made even more accessible by the pandemic's isolation.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Lobo break down the reality behind those flashy ads and glossy casino images, peeling back the curtain on the true costs of problem gambling. They explore not just the personal financial and mental fallout, but the ripple effects that devastate families, drive up debt, worsen mental health struggles, and even intersect with substance use disorders. As gambling apps, sports betting, and even crypto-trading continue to blur the lines between entertainment and addiction, the doctors unpack why so many young adults—and increasingly, teens—find themselves hooked.Dr. Lobo shares practical insights for recognizing gambling problems, supporting loved ones, and opening honest conversations with kids. Most importantly, they question whether the billions gained in gambling revenue are truly worth the social and health costs we're only beginning to acknowledge.If you've ever wondered what really drives gambling addiction, how to spot it, or what responsible action looks like for individuals and society, you won't want to miss this eye-opening, evidence-based conversation. Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about gambling in our modern age.Episode LessonsGambling Addiction: Not a Choice — A medical disorder with devastating consequences, not a weakness or bad habit.Online Gambling's Rapid Expansion — Pandemic and marketing fueled a surge, making betting more accessible than ever.Marketing Drives Gambling Behaviors — Aggressive ads and sports integration normalize betting, increasing risks across all ages.Health Impact Beyond Money — Gambling harms mental, emotional, and even physical health, adding layers of stress.Younger Generations at Risk — Sports and digital platforms expose youth to gambling without proper safeguards.Overlap With Other Addictions — Gambling often co-occurs with mental health and substance use disorders.Paths to Treatment and Recovery — Counseling, family support, financial planning, and early intervention provide hope.Financial Ruin and Family Toll — Hidden gambling devastates households, with debt triggering further destructive cycles.Policy and Regulation Matter — Weak oversight allows profit-driven expansion while shifting costs to families.Prevention Through Education — Open dialogue and awareness reduce risks, counter marketing, and build resilience.Episode Timestamps03:21 – Addiction's Evolving Forms: Gambling Alert 07:08 – COVID-19's Impact on Gambling Behavior 11:56 – Gambling's Mental and Physical Toll 13:48 – Accessibility Fuels Gambling Issues 18:03 – Teens, Gambling, and Sports Obsession 22:25 – Problem Gambling's Significant Impact 25:36 – Gambling Disorders and Mental Health 29:18 – iGaming Self-Exclusion & Support 30:30 – Supporting Families with Addicted Loved Ones 36:00 – Modern Gambling: Signs and Challenges 39:02 – Gambling and Risk Awareness Conversation 42:33 – Understanding Moderation and Gambling Risks 45:23 – Ethics of Gambling Expansion 47:03 – Cautionary Insights on Gambling AppsDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Addiction medicine physician Safina Adatia discusses her article, "Why gambling addiction is America's next health crisis." She warns that following the Supreme Court's 2018 ruling to overturn sports gambling bans, the U.S. is facing a potential epidemic with tens of millions at risk. Safina explains that unlike substance use disorders, problem gambling lacks sufficient research, effective treatments, and public health infrastructure. The conversation explores how the ease of access through smartphones and ubiquitous, predatory marketing campaigns are fueling what she calls a "runaway train," with data suggesting a widespread issue, particularly among young people. Safina argues for a multi-layered clinical approach combining therapy and medication, similar to models for opioid use disorder, and calls for urgent legislative action. She advocates for Congress to fund research, for lawmakers to curb advertising like they did for tobacco, and for a surgeon general's warning on gambling platforms to protect the public from this avoidable crisis.

The #BackOffBobbie campaign lives on, because someone has to say what Operation Stork Speed refused to: the real risk in formula isn't just seed oils or trace heavy metals (the red herrings distracting the #MAHA moms). It's cronobacter, a rare but deadly bacteria that continues to fly under the radar while mommy influencers parade USDA organic labels and metal-free test results like gold stars.This week, we're joined by Natasha Vargas-Cooper of Radical Moms Union to expose the uncomfortable truths formula companies don't want mothers to know. We talk about the fox guarding the hen house of formula testing, the 626 NEC lawsuits filed against major manufacturer Abbott, RFK Jr.'s murky ties to the formula industry, and how social media marketing has become the newest weapon against maternal instinct.This conversation isn't about shame. It's about power: power in knowledge, power in truth, and power in numbers. It's time to reclaim motherhood from corporate capture. Get involved with RMU if mobilizing mothers to advocate for change makes you excited!

Gabriela Rosa realised she was onto something, when her clinic started producing healthy baby after healthy baby in partnership with their patients, when they'd ‘tried everything' before finding her. That journey has led her to where she is now - in the final throes of her doctorate in Public Health at Harvard University in the USA - also now the epicentre of uncertainty for international students as well as the research funding that many don't realise benefits millions of people around the world in scientific advancements.On this show, we discuss many aspects to the public health crises playing out in modern day.Fertility challenges and needing to dramatically change the way we support people.Health care access - how we can avoid elitism and the best health care being for the privileged fewArriving at consensus: How is this done?

Health care public relations leader Melanie Doupé Gaiser discusses her article, "Antimicrobial resistance needs a publicist." She highlights antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as an urgent and deadly public health crisis that is not receiving the attention it warrants, particularly in the U.S. Melanie shares her personal stake in the issue, living with a critical antibiotic allergy, and underscores the looming threat of a post-antibiotic era where common infections could become fatal. The conversation covers the staggering potential human and economic costs of AMR, the reasons behind its low public profile despite these risks, and legislative efforts. Melanie issues a compelling call to action for everyone—researchers, health care professionals, patients, and the general public—to become "AMR publicists" by sharing stories, engaging with media, and advocating for policy changes. The key takeaway is: Collective public and professional advocacy is crucial to elevate AMR on the national agenda, drive innovation in antibiotic development, and implement policies to combat this growing global threat.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi following Tiger Brands' long-awaited settlement in the class-action lawsuit linked to the 2017–2018 listeriosis outbreak. The crisis, which claimed 218 lives and affected over 1,000 individuals, was traced to the Enterprise Foods facility in Polokwane. For survivors and bereaved families, the resolution brings some closure but not without a legacy of grief, medical hardship, and unresolved trauma. Among the most harrowing cases was that of six-year-old Theto Ngobeni, whose health complications and emotional suffering remain a tragic emblem of the outbreak's toll. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

 On this episode of All Bodies. All Foods., Ashley and Sam welcome guest Patrilie Hernandez to explore the eating disorder risk factor of food insecurity. According to the USDA, 13.5% of U.S. households reported experiencing food insecurity in 2023—a rise from 12.8% in 2022. Because food insecurity can contribute to the development of eating disorders, we felt it was essential to better understand this public health crisis in order to more effectively support those affected. It's important to recognize that individuals often do not have full control over whether they are food secure. Contributing factors can include income, access to community resources, housing location, knowledge of how to shop for and prepare food, and more. In this conversation, we unpack the systemic and personal contributors to food insecurity, how it intersects with eating disorders, and how individuals can advocate for and educate the systems around them.

The rapid expansion of legalized sports betting in the US has fueled a significant increase in gambling addiction, with calls to helplines surging and treatment providers overwhelmed by demand. While the industry generates substantial revenue, it also imposes hidden costs on society, including financial ruin, mental health problems and strained public resources. Now the question is, can we bring this emerging public health crisis to heel?

Welcome to "Ditch the Lab Coat," the podcast where we break down complex medical topics with leading experts shaping the future of healthcare. In today's episode, we're diving into the nuanced and critical conversation surrounding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) with our distinguished guest, Dr. Susan Rich. With a career spanning decades, Dr. Rich is a trailblazer in child and adolescent psychiatry and an ardent advocate for public health. She's here to shine a light on prenatal alcohol exposure's often overlooked impacts on brain development. Did you know that not only alcohol consumed during pregnancy but even prior to conception can lead to multigenerational health issues? Dr. Rich unpacks how prevalent this is, affecting 1 in 20 children, yet remains largely unrecognized. Throughout our discussion, we'll explore systemic challenges, the myths perpetuated by the alcoholic beverage industry, and most importantly, the critical steps we need to take for prevention and support. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a parent, or just intrigued by one of public health's hidden crises, this episode promises to be both enlightening and empowering. Get ready for a thought-provoking journey as we seek a healthier future for the generations to come.Key Takeaways :The Hidden Impact of Alcohol on Fetal Development Dr. Susan Rich explains that fetal alcohol spectrum disorder affects approximately 1 in 20 children (5% of the population), with far-reaching consequences beyond the commonly known physical characteristics.Early Pregnancy Vulnerability Critical developmental impacts occur as early as the third to fourth week post-conception, often before women know they're pregnant. About 13.5% of childbearing age women in America binge drink, and approximately 50% of pregnancies are unplanned.Beyond Traditional Understanding While medical education traditionally focused on severe cases with facial deformities and intellectual disabilities, Dr. Rich reveals that only 10-15% of affected children show these classic features. The majority have neurodevelopmental issues without obvious physical signs.Male Factor Contribution Alcohol consumption by men up to three months before conception can affect sperm quality through epigenetic modifications, potentially making the embryo more susceptible to alcohol exposure during pregnancy.Economic and Social Impact The alcohol industry generates approximately $220 billion annually, while the cost of caring for just those with full fetal alcohol syndrome (not including the entire spectrum) was estimated at $5.4 billion as of 2003 data.Prevention and Treatment Approaches Dr. Rich advocates for better public health messaging, comprehensive support systems for affected children, and the need for healthcare providers to better understand and recognize the full spectrum of alcohol-related developmental disorders.03:14 - Alcohol's multigenerational impact explained.08:27 - Alcohol's epigenetic effects on offspring.13:17 - Unplanned pregnancies and fetal alcohol syndrome.15:33 - Neural crest and facial development.19:18 - Fetal alcohol, nutrition, and growth.23:04 - Dr. Kathleen Sulick's contributions.25:26 - Alcohol's impact on family events.28:38 - Alcohol's cultural role and societal effects.30:57 - Alcohol's toxicity and informed consent.34:05 - Liquor profits and education funding.37:35 - Rethinking alcohol's role in society.42:56 - Global epidemic: Fetal alcohol impact.45:05 - Supporting neurodivergent youth transitions.47:50 - Taxing alcohol to aid impoverished children.51:01 - Alcohol's Hidden Health Impacts.54:12 - Rethinking alcohol's impact on children.DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Lever Time is taking a break this week, but we'll be back next week with a brand new episode. Today, we wanted to re-air one of our favorite episodes from 2024.  --The National Basketball Association wants you to gamble. Since 2014, the league has championed the legalization of sports betting nationwide, partially due to its own business interests in gambling. But the emergence of online gambling has coincided with a rise in troubling health outcomes like increased rates of depression and substance abuse. Today on Lever Time, we explore the recent growth of online gambling, sitting down with sports writers and an addiction expert to learn how it's impacted society and changed the very nature of sports and fandom. Sports fans are familiar with the companies DraftKings and FanDuel. In the NBA, their commercials are now as synonymous with the game as slam dunks — and both have transformed how viewers watch the game. In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down a federal law prohibiting gambling in most states — within the same year several states swiftly moved to legalize sports gambling, leading to more widespread usage of online sportsbooks. Today, millions of fans include betting as part of their viewing experience, but it's a trend that worries public health experts, athletes, and longtime fans, who believe the NBA's promotion of gambling will have long-term negative consequences.

U.S. surgeon general Dr. Vivek H. Murthy has said that parental burnout is a public health issue on the same level as cigarettes, obesity and gun violence. It's the result of a decades-long trend towards intensive parenting, according to New York Times reporter Claire Cain Miller, who points out that working mothers today spend as much time with their kids as stay-at-home moms did in the 1970s. We talk with Miller about how we got to this point. Are you a parent who's feeling burnt out?
