Today, I am thrilled to speak with Dr. Cory Jones to delve into the concept of the "middle pause," which refers to the transition from perimenopause to menopause. We'll examine how lifestyle habits that were effective in women's 20s and 30s may lose their efficacy during this phase. Dr. Jones emphasizes the reduced capacity to "burn the candle at both ends" and the transition from people-pleasing to more straightforward communication. We'll cover the behavioral impacts of hormonal changes, the significance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the importance of adrenal health. We both stress the need for women to seek supportive healthcare providers and embrace this transitional period. Tune in!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.public.newsThe government needs to step up its efforts to fight health misinformation, say Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, because it's reducing public trust in the medical establishment. “People are dying because of misinformation,” said Obama in a 2022 Stanford speech to promote a sweeping government censorship agenda. In his new, heavily-promoted Netflix documentary, Gates called for AI-powered mass government censorship of people who raise questions about vaccines, citing the conspiracy theory that microchips were in Covid vaccines.But it's the medical establishment itself, not misinformation, that causes public distrust, says Johns Hopkins physician Marty Makary in his outstanding new bestseller, Blind Spots, and in a fascinating two-hour conversation with me.“The biggest topic in our medical journals right now is mistrust in the medical establishment,” he said. “They're scratching their heads. ‘People don't trust us, and it must be because of those spreading misinformation.'... No, the reason they don't trust the medical establishment is because it was lying to them for three years during the Covid pandemic.”America's health and medical system does a lot of good, emphasizes Makary, who also holds a Master's degree in Public Health (MPH) from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Makary stresses that the overwhelming number of people in the health and medical establishment are well-intentioned and motivated by compassion for their patients and a desire to cure disease. “The rank and file doctor often thinks independently, is creative, and takes in multiple sources of information,” he says.But the health and medical system as a whole has failed, Makary argues. Proof of this can be found in the fact that “half of all federal spending is going to health care in its many hidden forms,” he says, and yet the American people are “getting sicker and sicker… Chronic diseases are on the rise. Cancers are on the rise. And we have the most medicated generation in human history.”Health is arguably the most important issue facing the country. It's not just a life-and-death issue; it also centrally affects our quality of life. The American Academy of Pediatrics' poor track record is so scandalous that we will publish a follow-up article on how it is still making recommendations based on ideology, not science.

Early in his career, he delved into hematology at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital, focusing on lymphoma and leukemia, before undertaking a fellowship in retrovirology with Professor Courtenay Bartholomew during what he fondly recalls as the "golden age" of retrovirus research from 1986 to 1990. Dr. Cleghorn was trained in internal medicine and infectious diseases, culminating in a fellowship at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the National Cancer Institute. His academic achievements were further bolstered by a Master of Public Health (MPH) in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, where he was inducted into the Alpha Delta Omega honor society. His journey led him through significant roles at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Medical Center/Institute of Human Virology. At the latter, he served as Assistant Professor of Epidemiology & Prevention from 1996 to 2004, fostering extensive collaborations with the Medical Research Foundation of Trinidad and Tobago and the University of the West Indies, where he also served as an external examiner. Respected as health diplomat, Dr. Cleghorn was Global Head of Palladium until his retirement in June 2024, he led interdisciplinary teams across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and Australia/Pacific, pioneering transformative health programs. His work spanned strategy execution consulting, international consulting, impact investment, and training, focusing on sustainable health systems, implementation science, and health promotion. Dr. Cleghorn has been recognized as a thought leader and systems thinker in global health systems, population health, HIV/AIDS, infectious diseases, pathogenesis, and clinical vaccine trials. His expertise earned him numerous accolades, a nominee for the SEA Crystal award in Spain, and a winner in the Gabriella Award in Chile, including the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Global Health Research and Delivery in 2023. His philanthropic endeavors underscore his commitment to medical education and community welfare. His generous donation to the University of the West Indies Medical Alumni Association established an endowment for scholarships, reflecting his dedication to nurturing future medical professionals. Also an humanitarian he has mentored countless young health professionals and contributed significantly to global health diplomacy. His compassion and dedication to improving healthcare, especially in underserved communities like his native Trinidad, exemplify his profound commitment to humanity. In sum, Dr. Farley R. Cleghorn's career is a testament to the transformative power of medicine and public health, driven by a steadfast belief in the potential of healthcare to enrich lives globally. His legacy as a scholar, mentor, and advocate for equitable healthcare continues to inspire generations of healthcare professionals worldwide. As Chris LeGrand, Chief Executive Officer at BroadReach Group, who has known him for 20 years, serving alongside in Futures Group, now The Palladium, as chief technical officer, accomplishing many things together said……“More than his brilliance and professional impact, what I have come to love of Farley is his heart. Farley has a heart for humans and our human condition. Where others see only human tragedy and despair Farley sees community and possibility”

Tune in to hear all that University of California Irvine program in public health has to offer and learn about the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. [Show Summary] The Master in Public Health (MPH) degree experienced enormous growth since the COVID lockdown. One of the leading and largest programs in public health is offered by UC Irvine, and we are talking to the director of that program today, Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala. Interview with Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala, Director of the UCI Program in Public Health and Founding Dean of the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. [Show Notes] Welcome to the 517th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for joining me. The challenge at the heart of graduate admissions is showing that you both fit in at your target schools and are a standout in the applicant pool. Accepted's free download, Fitting In and Standing Out: The Paradox at the Heart of Admissions, will show you how to do both. Master this paradox, and you are well on your way to acceptance. Our guest today is Dr. Bernadette Boden-Albala, director of the UCI Program in Public Health and founding Dean of the future UCI School of Population and Public Health. Dean Boden-Albala, prior to moving to UC Irvine in 2019, served as social epidemiologist at Columbia University and then as professor and senior Associate Dean at NYU. She earned her MPH and her doctorate in Public Health from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Dr. Boden-Albala, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [1:45] Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be here. Can you give us, just for starters, an overview of UCI's MPH program focusing on its more distinctive elements? [1:52] Sure. So first of all, our MPH degree program was established, oh, almost over a decade ago. 2010. It was accredited, which is critically important, by the Council on Education for Public Health, CEPH, in 2012. And it was really the first professional degree of the UCI public health program, and a big component, again, of this envisioned UCI School of Population and Public Health. And I should say that even before we had an MPH program, we have a very large, one of the largest and most diverse undergraduate programs in public health. And so even though the program started about 12 years ago, we have a wonderful public health faculty that has really been doing public health for a longer time than that. And really the aim of the program is to create public health practitioners who really work independently and collaboratively to develop and implement strategies that are really going to reduce the burden of disease and disability globally, locally and globally. And I would say a real distinction is our focus on community and partnering with community. And I think we have some of the best, if not the best, community-based or community-engaged researchers. And Orange County, which is one of the largest counties in the country, is a very diverse county, and a lot of our faculty are working with all different populations in the county. And so that really is, I think, a huge distinctive feature. And when you're working in partnership with communities, automatically your focus is going to be on health equity. And we were doing health equity long before a lot of people were even talking or thinking about health equity. And so that is the foundation – community engaged work, health equity – of what we do. And then you add on top of that incredible work in public health science. And our MPH students and our MPH used to be a small boutique program, 15, 20 students, and it's now grown to over 100 students and growing. And we've been adding faculty since I got here in 2019. Our faculty has tripled. And again, we're bringing in all of these folks whose work really threads this health equity, community work, a lot of work on environmental health disparities. When a lot of other programs in the country about 15 ...
