Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens?Today I'm sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—including me (I share why in this episode)—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here's what the science says… PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy. STUDIES: This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298  Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19367115 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095177 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16763748 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14557449 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920508 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15018488 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10757817 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702593 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10479216 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15309425 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10966908 It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003 People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:http://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens. These compounds are linked to reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and several other conditions: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content-nw/full/294/12/1493/JOC50096T5 http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/136/12/3046 http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/content/full/35/6/1403 As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Armra | Use code DIGEST for 15% off at tryarmra.com/digest  Fatty15 | For 15% off the starter kit go to fatty15.com/digest Bethany's Pantry | Go to bethanyspantry.com and use code PODCAST10 for 10$  Check Out Bethany: Bethany's Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany's Website Discounts & My Favorite Products My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds)

Methylene blue is widely marketed over the counter to the general public as well as to the natural health, health freedom, and freedom communities, often on the internet. It is flooding America.   Some sellers are touting methylene blue as a “miracle” tonic that improves “cognitive function”1 and boosts energy to previously unimagined heights. Some have given live demonstrations on TV and podcasts demonstrating how the oral form hyperactivates some people within 35 minutes of the first dose — a typical stimulant drug rush — which is actually a danger signal for potentially activating them into a dangerous manic episode during future exposures or even more deadly outcomes.   Read the full article here: Methylene Blue is highly neurotoxic to your brain and mind   In reality, methylene blue is a lethal neurotoxin, a poison to the brain. It has the same basic chemical composition and harmful clinical effects as the oldest and most neurotoxic “antidepressants,” the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). It also has similarities to the neurotoxic phenothiazine “antipsychotic” drugs, including the original Thorazine (chlorpromazine), but methylene blue is more stimulating or activating.   Methylene blue is not a miraculous new discovery. It is the opposite. Created in 1876 in a lab — it is the oldest manmade chemical to be used in medicine. But in well over a century, methylene blue has never been FDA-approved for psychiatric purposes. Later, its chemical structure was modified in labs for creating many of the earliest, most neurotoxic psychiatric drugs.   Methylene blue suppresses or destroys forms of the enzyme monoamine oxidase that are used by the brain for controlling or modulating four different powerful neurotransmitters — serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. In short, by crushing monoamine oxidase, methylene blue causes overstimulation of four of the brain's major neurotransmitters, all of which profoundly impact the mind.   After the FDA was created in 1906, methylene blue was grandfathered into the market by the agency as an obscure antidote for methemoglobinemia, but it must be emphasized that the FDA has never tested the safety of methylene blue for any purpose. Furthermore, the FDA, based on its adverse reporting system and scientific reports, has published serious warnings about potentially lethal adverse reactions from methylene blue, especially when combined with numerous other drugs.2   The first MAOIs used as depressants were derived from methylene blue, and they turned out to be so toxic that the first two were quickly taken off the market by the FDA. One caused lethal liver disease, and the other caused hypertensive crises. Methylene blue is known to impair liver function tests and to cause hypertensive crises. Early on, all MAOIs were removed for a while from the international list of approved drugs. Please go to this endnote in my report  for a list of historical and scientific studies about the extraordinary history and the nature of methylene blue and the other MAOIs.3   Psychiatry and the psychopharmaceutical complex are so driven to impose neurotoxins upon our brains ⎯ some MAOI antidepressants remain on the market today. FDA Full Prescribing Information for the existing MAOI antidepressants, readily available online,4 provides quick access to the kinds of adverse effects caused by methylene blue. These FDA documents also provide lists of the foods and of some of the many, many drugs you cannot take with MAOIs, like methylene blue, without risking death from serotonin syndrome or a hypertensive crisis.   Meanwhile, all of America is being made a market for the original mother of them all, methylene blue, without requiring a prescription, with bizarrely distorted claims, and with unlimited supplies handed out as easily as a new caffeinated soda.   All of the three approved MAOIs, as well as methylene blue, carry repeated warnings at the FDA and in the scientific community about causing the two potentially crippling and lethal outcomes, serotonin syndrome and malignant hypertension (see below). These potentially lethal outcomes, as with all MAOIs, become much more serious and higher risk when methylene blue is taken with certain foods such as cheese and bananas, or literally with so many other drugs that it is impossible to memorize them or to keep track of them.   Here is one version of a short summary of the long list of dangerous interactions between MAOIs, including methylene blue, and other drugs and foods, taken from Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (2018, p. 274):   Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors   Serotonin syndrome is the most serious drug interaction for the MAOIs (see Adverse Effects). The most common cause of serotonin syndrome in patients taking MAOIs is the accidental coadministration of a SHT reuptake-inhibiting antidepressant or tryptophan. Other serious drug interactions include those with meperidine and tramadol. MAOIs also interact with sympathomimetics such as pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, oxymetazoline, phenylpropanolamine, and amphetamine; these are commonly found in cold and allergy medication and diet aids and should be avoided by patients taking MAOIs. Likewise, patients on MAOIs must avoid foods containing high levels of tyramine: soy products, dried meats and sausages, dried fruits, home-brewed and tap beers, red wine, pickled or fermented foods, and aged cheeses.   I am presenting this detailed summary in the hope of gaining the immediate attention of people and businesses who are promoting methylene blue and anyone who is unfortunately taking it. Please share this summary or the entire document as widely as possible and with proper attribution.   An extensive article follows, detailing my professional experience in the arena of psychopharmacology. It includes a lengthy scientific analysis with more than two dozen endnotes containing an even greater number of scientific citations.   Read the full article here: Methylene Blue is highly neurotoxic to your brain and mind   End Notes   1 All stimulants from caffeine to Ritalin (methylphenidate) and on to methamphetamine and cocaine, and including MAOIs, can produce subjective feelings of improved concentration or memory, and some short-term studies show a brief improvement. This is caused by obsessive-compulsive mental focusing and is driven by a narrowing of general awareness and judgment.  No FDA-approved stimulants, for example, have been proven to help cognition or academic performance, and all harm the brain long-term.  Here is a study that is negligent in its claims and its lack of warnings about methylene blue that may have encouraged the current epidemic use: https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.pn.2016.pp8a5 I have researched these issues in multiple scientific papers and books, including Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry: Drugs, Electroshock, and the Psychopharmaceutical Complex, second edition (2008).  For an easily accessible, comprehensive look at stimulant drug effects, also see my free resource center on children and stimulant medications: https://breggin.com/Childrens-Resources-Center   2 Drug Safety Communication: Serious CNS reactions possible when methylene blue is given to patients taking certain psychiatric medications | FDA and FDA Drug Safety Communication: Updated information about the drug interaction between methylene blue and Drug Safety Podcasts > FDA Drug Safety Podcast for Healthcare Professionals: Updated information about the drug interaction between methylene blue and serotonergic psychiatric medications (methylthioninium chloride) and serotonergic psychiatric medications | FDA and much more comprehensive coverage of methylene blue adverse effects with special warnings for professionals can be found at Methylene Blue Monograph for Professionals – Drugs.com   3 Half_a_century_of_antidepressant_drugs_-20151101-21548-vmvosk-libre.pdf.

BUFFALO, NY - May 14, 2025 – A new #review paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 9, 2025, titled “Relationship between ABO blood group antigens and Rh factor with breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis." A comprehensive study, led by first authors Rahaf Alchazal from Yarmouk University and Khaled J. Zaitoun from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Jordan University of Science and Technology, examined the potential link between blood type and breast cancer. The research team conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 29 previously published studies, involving more than 13,000 breast cancer patients and over 717,000 controls. “Researchers searched for studies on breast cancer patients and ABO blood groups across four major databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google.“ Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Identifying risk factors is vital for early detection and prevention. While many studies have explored lifestyle and genetic causes, this analysis focused on the ABO blood group system. By pooling global data, the researchers found that blood type A was the most common among breast cancer patients and was significantly associated with an 18% increased risk compared to type O. The study did not find a significant association between breast cancer and blood types B, AB, or Rh factor. Although the results do not prove causation, they point to a biological pattern worth further investigation. Blood group antigens are proteins found on the surface of cells, including breast tissue. These molecules may influence how cancer develops and spreads by interacting with the immune system or affecting cell behavior. This meta-analysis is the most extensive review to date on this topic, based on studies conducted across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. While previous research found unclear conclusions, this large-scale evaluation provides stronger evidence for a possible connection between blood type A and breast cancer risk. Researchers note that regional differences, genetic diversity, and study quality may affect individual results. Nevertheless, the overall trend supports considering blood type A as a potential risk marker. This insight could help shape screening guidelines, encouraging earlier or more frequent checkups for women with this blood type. Further research is needed to understand why blood type A may play a role in cancer development. Future studies may explore genetic mechanisms, immune responses, and other biological pathways. These efforts could lead the way for more personalized cancer prevention and care strategies. DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28718 Correspondence to - Khaled J.

Josh Sigurdson reports on a landmark study out of the prestigious International Journal Of Preventative Medicine in March which studies 85 million people and puts together 15 studies including 11 controlled studies and 4 studies without a control group to give a more broad view. The studies include those from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar until October 22nd, 2023. The studies show an enormous increase in not just overall death rates but also in specific ailments including heart attack, stroke and arrhythmia, specifically showing massive increases by Pfizer's BNT162b2 vaccines and AstraZeneca's ChAdOx1 vaccines but also looks at Moderna. There are increases in things like arrhythmia that reach as high as 711% following injection and multiple cases of increases in coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and stroke above 200%. The most common things one dies from are seeing massive increases only after being vaxxed. This is an indictment on the injections and something we already knew. The difference is that we are seeing this study with 85 million people involved and when combined with 3 other studies, we actually see a combined total of 184 million people involved overall. As the governments of the world continue to push Bird Flu after the Covid hoax and go after the animals while trying to force inject us and even RFK Jr is promoting Measles MMR vaccines while not taking the mRNA Covid Vaccines out of the childhood vaccine schedule, expect the continuation of fearmongering and further restrictions going into the future.

Chris Mirabile's journey to achieving a biological age 13.6 years younger than his chronological age is not a tale of luck but of deliberate action and deep scientific understanding. His transformation extends beyond mere youthful appearance. He's aging 31% slower than average.  This remarkable feat is rooted in intense self-education and a disciplined lifestyle geared towards optimizing health at a molecular level. His story began at 16, when a severe seizure led to the discovery and surgical removal of a brain tumor. This life-altering event shifted his focus from basic fitness to a profound understanding of human biology and aging. A Scientific Awakening Chris transitioned from merely wanting to look fit to optimizing his long-term well-being. Utilizing academic databases like PubMed, he educated himself on the science of aging and its biological processes. The "Hallmarks of Aging" paper was a turning point, revealing aging not as inevitable, but as a series of manageable biological processes. This realization drove him to a proactive approach to health, aiming to manage and slow aging. Targeting the 12 Aging Mechanisms Today, Chris's lifestyle and biotechnology company NOVOS are structured around the 12 mechanisms that drive aging. Here's a quick look at how he addresses each: Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Enhanced through exercise and specific nutrients. Cellular Senescence: Reduced via supplements and fasting. Loss of Proteostasis: Improved by autophagy-activating practices. Intercellular Communication: Maintained by limiting inflammation. Genomic Instability: Addressed with hormetic stress like cold exposure. Epigenetic Alterations: Supported with lifestyle changes. Telomere Shortening: Minimized with diet and recovery. Deregulated Nutrient Sensing: Balanced through feeding/fasting cycles. Stem Cell Exhaustion: Preserved with low-inflammation living. Inflammaging: Reduced with anti-inflammatory strategies. Disabled Autophagy: Enhanced by intermittent fasting and polyphenols. Gut Dysbiosis: Improved through diet diversity and probiotics. By targeting these mechanisms, Chris actively works to slow and even reverse biological aging. Lifestyle as Medicine For Chris, lifestyle is the foundation of health optimization. His daily routine reflects the principles he has gleaned from his research. His diet follows a Mediterranean model, emphasizing whole plants, healthy fats, and moderate protein. He integrates periodic fasting to optimize longevity pathways. His exercise regimen is multifaceted, combining resistance training four times a week, cardio three times a week, and daily walking. Sleep is prioritized, with seven to nine hours tracked via the Oura Ring. Stress management is crucial, as well as incorporating journaling, meditation, and reframing challenges as opportunities for growth. He also utilizes specific supplements, such as NOVOS Core, developed from biotech research to support the hallmarks of aging. NOVOS: Measuring and Managing Aging NOVOS embodies Chris's belief in the scientific manageability of aging. The company offers precise formulations like NOVOS Core, which has shown lifespan extension in animal studies, and biological age testing via epigenetic analysis. The NOVOS Life app provides digital guidance, using AI to generate personalized longevity plans and estimate biological age, making longevity accessible and manageable. In this podcast, you'll learn... How Chris Mirabile reduced his biological age by 13.6 years and its importance. The 12 aging mechanisms Chris targets with NOVOS. Practical lifestyle adjustments for longevity, including diet, exercise, and stress management. The role of scientific innovation in managing aging. How to reframe challenges and use adversity for personal growth. EPISODE RESOURCES: Website LinkedIn Instagram xCom

Joe Cohen's journey to optimal health is a story of self-discovery and a drive to find answers beyond conventional medicine. Struggling with chronic health issues like fatigue, inflammation, and brain fog, Joe took charge of his health by diving into genetics, biomarkers, and biohacking. A Start of Struggle: The Search for Answers Joe's early attempts to seek help from mainstream doctors were unfruitful. Frustrated, he embarked on self-experimentation. He started with lifestyle changes like intermittent fasting and cold plunges, which offered some relief. However, it was when Joe incorporated supplements into his regimen that he began to experience more significant improvements. The Quest for Scientific Answers Determined to understand his body, Joe turned to scientific resources like PubMed and Wikipedia. He discovered that health protocols were not one-size-fits-all. Joe tried various diets, such as veganism and the Bulletproof Diet, but ultimately found success with a carnivore and lectin-free approach. He realized that his body didn't respond well to grains and legumes, leading him to adopt a lectin-avoidance diet early on. The Power of Genetics and Personalized Experimentation Joe realized that understanding his individual biology was key. He learned that genetic factors, such as immune system dominance, played a crucial role in how his body reacted to different foods and supplements. This led to the development of SelfDecode, a platform providing genetic insights for personalized health optimization. He found that genetic testing, combined with lab testing and supplements, offered a holistic approach. Supplementation: The Game Changer For Joe, supplementation became a cornerstone of his biohacking strategy. He believes supplements have had the most significant impact on his health. With over 160 supplements in his daily regimen, Joe emphasizes the importance of understanding which supplements are best for an individual's unique needs. He encourages guided experimentation to find the right mix, considering genetics, biomarkers, and personal health goals. The Future of Biohacking: AI, Genetics, and Longevity Joe envisions a future where breakthroughs in organ replacement and genetic manipulation could significantly extend human lifespan. He also sees AI playing a crucial role in improving genetic research, health recommendations, and biohacking strategies. The Key to Rewiring Your Health Joe Cohen's journey shows that optimizing your health requires scientific inquiry, personalized experimentation, and an open mind toward biohacking tools. By understanding your body deeply and embracing self-experimentation, you can create a health protocol tailored to your unique needs. In this podcast, you'll learn: How Joe took control of his health when conventional medicine failed him. The power of personalized supplements and why they are crucial for optimal health. Why understanding your unique biology and genetics is essential for health optimization. How Joe developed a lectin-free diet before it became mainstream and why it worked for him. Joe's vision for the future of biohacking, including AI and genetic manipulation for longevity.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram Youtube  

In this second episode of a three-part series, Drs. Ruth Carrico and Paula Tucker explore the challenges of medical misinformation, its impact on patient care and strategies for navigating the overwhelming flow of health information in today's digital age. The discussion covers the rise of the "infodemic” how misinformation spreads and how nurse practitioners (NPs) can critically evaluate medical literature to ensure evidence-based practice. The hosts share real-world experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the difficulties of adapting to rapidly evolving guidelines while maintaining public trust. They also discuss the role of social determinants of health in the spread of misinformation and provide practical solutions for mitigating misinformation in clinical settings. Key Takeaways: Understanding the Infodemic: Definition: An overload of health-related information — both accurate and inaccurate — spread rapidly via social media, news and professional circles. Impact of COVID-19: Misinformation amplified due to evolving scientific knowledge, political influences and social media algorithms. Role of Trust: Public mistrust in health care institutions and shifting guidelines fueled skepticism. Misinformation Drivers and Consequences: Psychological Factors: Cognitive biases (confirmation bias, authority bias) make individuals more susceptible to misinformation. Technology and Social Media: Algorithm-driven content creates echo chambers where misinformation spreads unchecked. Public Health Outcomes: Misinformation leads to vaccine hesitancy, delayed treatments and preventable deaths. How NPs Can Combat Misinformation: 1. Active Listening: Understand patients' concerns before correcting misinformation. 2. Effective Communication: Use simple, culturally relevant messaging tailored to health literacy levels. 3. Building Resilience: Teach patients how to critically evaluate health information sources. 4. Community Engagement: Collaborate with local leaders and organizations to promote credible information. Evaluating Evidence-Based Information: Use the CRAAP Test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) to assess credibility. Trust peer-reviewed sources like CDC, WHO, FDA, Cochrane Reviews and PubMed. Be aware of misleading studies and cherry-picked data used to spread misinformation. Trusted Resources for Patients and Providers: For Clinicians: UpToDate, DynaMed, BMJ Best Practice, Cochrane Reviews. For Patients: MedlinePlus, Mayo Clinic, CDC Vaccine Fact Sheets, American Heart Association.

Dr. Dizon also serves as the vice chair for membership and accrual at the SWOG Cancer Research Network. Don, it's great to have you here for our first episode of ASCO Education: By the Book. Dr. Don Dizon: Really nice to be here and to see you again, my friend. Dr. Nathan Pennell: This was the first thing I thought of when we were kicking off a podcast that I thought we would set the stage for our hopefully many, many listeners to learn a little bit about what the Ed Book used to be like, how it has evolved over the last 14 years or so since we both started here and where it's going. You started as editor-in-chief in 2012, is that right? Dr. Don Dizon: Oh, boy. I believe that is correct, yes. I did two 5-year stints as EIC of the Educational Book, so that sounds about right. Although you're aging me very clearly on this podcast. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I had to go back in my emails to see if I could figure out when we started on this because we've been working on it for some time. Start out a little bit by telling me what do you remember about the Ed Book from back in the day when you were applying to be editor-in-chief and thinking about the Ed Book. What was it like at that time? Dr. Don Dizon: You know, it's so interesting to think about it.  Ten years ago, we were both in a very different place in our careers, and I remember when the Ed Book position came up, I had been writing a column for ASCO. I had done some editorial activities with other journals for sure, but what always struck me was it was very unclear how one was chosen to be a part of the education program at ASCO. And then it was very unclear how those faculty were then selected to write a paper for the Educational Book. And it was back in the day when the Educational Book was completely printed. So, there was this book that was cherished among American fellows in oncology. And it was one that, when I was newly attending, and certainly two or three years before the editor's position came up, it was one that I referenced all the time. So, it was a known commodity for many of us. And there was a certain sense of selectivity about who was invited to write in it. And it wasn't terribly transparent either. So, when the opportunity to apply for editor-in-chief of the Educational Book came up, I had already been doing so much work for ASCO. I had been on the planning committees and served in many roles across the organization, and editing was something I found I enjoyed in other work. So, I decided to put my name in the ring with the intention of sort of bringing the book forward, getting it indexed, for example, so that there was this credit that was more than just societal credit at ASCO. This ended up being something that was referenced and acknowledged as an important paper through PubMed indexing. And then also to provide it as a space where we could be more transparent about who was being invited and broadening the tent as to who could participate as an author in the Ed Book. Dr. Nathan Pennell: It's going to be surprising to many of our younger listeners to learn that the Educational Book used to be just this giant, almost like a brick. I mean, it was this huge tome of articles from the Education Sessions that you got when you got your meeting abstracts book at the annual meeting. And you can always see people on the plane on the way out of Chicago with their giant books. Dr. Don Dizon: Yes. Dr. Nathan Pennell: That added lots of additional weight to the plane, I'm sure, on the way out. Dr. Don Dizon: And it was not uncommon for us to be sitting at an airport, and people would be reading those books with highlighters. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I fondly remember being a fellow and coming up and the Ed Book was always really important to me, so I was excited. We'll also let the listeners in on that. I also applied to be the original editor-in-chief of the Ed Book back in 2012, although I was very junior and did not have any real editorial experience. I think I may have been section editor for The Oncologist at that point. And I had spoken to Dr. Ramaswamy Govindan at WashU who had been the previous editor-in-chief about applying and he was like, “Oh yeah. You should absolutely try that out.” And then when Dr. Dizon was chosen, I was like, “Oh, well. I guess I didn't get it.” And then out of the blue I got a call asking me to join as the associate editor, which I was really always very thankful for that opportunity. Dr. Don Dizon: Well, it was a highly fruitful collaboration, I think, between you and I when we first started. I do remember taking on the reins and sort of saying, “You know, this is our vision of what we want to do.” But then just working with the authors, which we did, about how to construct their papers and what we were looking for, all of that is something I look back really fondly on. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I think it was interesting too because neither one of us had really a lot of transparency into how things worked when we started. We kind of made it up a little bit as we went along. We wanted to get all of the faculty, or at least as many of them as possible contributing to these. And we would go to the ASCO Education Committee meeting and kind of talk about the Ed Book, and we were thinking about, you know, how could we get people to submit. So, at the time it wasn't PubMed indexed. Most people, I think, submitted individual manuscripts just from their talk, which could be anywhere from full length review articles to very brief manuscripts. Dr. Don Dizon: Sometimes it was their slides with like a couple of comments on it. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And some of them were almost like a summary of the talk. Yeah, exactly. And so sort of making that a little more uniform. There was originally an honorarium attached, which went away, but I think PubMed indexing was probably the biggest incentive for people to join. I remember that was one of the first things you really wanted to get. Dr. Don Dizon Yeah. And, you know, it was fortuitous. I'd like to take all the credit for it, but ASCO was very forward thinking with Dr. Ramaswamy and the conversations about going to PubMed with this had preceded my coming in. We knew what we needed to do to get this acknowledged, which was really strengthening the peer review so that these papers could meet the bar to get on PubMed. But you know, within the first, what, two or three years, Nate, of us doing this, we were able to get this accepted. And now it is. If you look at what PubMed did for us, it not only increased the potential of who was going to access it, but for, I think the oncology community, it allowed people access to papers by key opinion leaders that was not blocked by a paywall. And I thought that was just super important at the time. Social media was something, but it wasn't what it is now. But anybody could access these manuscripts and it's still the case today. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I think it's hard to overstate how important that was. People don't realize this, but the Ed Book is really widely accessed, especially outside the US as well. And a lot of people who can't attend the meeting to get the print, well, the once print, book could actually get access to essentially the education session from the annual meeting without having to fly all the way to the US to attend. Now, you know, we have much better virtual meeting offerings now and whatnot. But at the time it was pretty revolutionary to be able to do that. Dr. Don Dizon: Yeah, and you know, it's so interesting when I think back to, you know, this sort of evolution to a fully online publication of the Ed Book. It was really some requests from international participants of the annual meeting who really wanted to continue to see this in print. At that time, it was important to recognize that access to information was not uniform across the world. And people really wanted that print edition, maybe not for themselves, but so that access in more rural areas or where access in the broadband networks were not established that they still could access the book. I think things have changed now. We were able, I think, in your tenure, to see it fully go online. But even I just remember that being a concern as we went forward. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Yeah, we continued with the print book that was available if people asked for it, but apparently few enough people asked for it that it moved fully online. One of the major advantages of being fully online now is of course, it does allow us to publish kind of in real time as the manuscripts come out in the months leading up to the meeting, which has been, I think, a huge boon because it can build momentum for the Education Sessions coming in. People, you know, really look forward to it. Dr. Don Dizon: Yeah, that was actually a concern, you know, when we were phasing out Ed Book and going to this continuous publication model where authors actually had the ability to sort of revise their manuscript and that would be automatically uploaded. You had a static manuscript that was fully printed, and it was no longer an accurate one. And we did have the ability to fix it. And it just goes to show exactly what you're saying. This idea that these are living papers was really an important thing that ASCO embraced quite early, I think. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And with the onset of PubMed indexing, the participation from faculty skyrocketed and almost within a couple of years was up to the vast majority of sessions and faculty participating. Now I think people really understand that this is part of the whole process. But at the time I remember writing out on my slides in all caps, “THIS IS AN EXPECTATION.” And that's about the best word I could give because I asked if we could make people do it, and they were like, no, you can't make people do it. Dr. Don Dizon: So right.  Actually, I don't think people are aware of the work on the back end every year when I was on as EIC, Nate and myself, and then subsequently Dr. Hope Rugo would have these informational sessions with the education faculty and we would tout the Ed Book, tout the expectation, tout it was PubMed indexed and tout multidisciplinary participation. So, we were not seeing four manuscripts reflecting one session. You know, this encouragement to really embrace multidisciplinary care was something that very early on we introduced and really encouraged people not to submit perspective manuscripts, but to really get them in and then harmonize the paper so that it felt like it was, you know, one voice. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I consider that after PubMed indexing, the next major change to the Ed Book, that really made it a better product and that was moving from, you know, just these short individual single author manuscripts to single session combined manuscript that had multiple perspectives and topics, really much more comprehensive review articles. And I don't even remember what the impetus was for that, but it was really a success. Dr. Don Dizon: Yeah, I mean, I think in the beginning it was more of a challenge, I think, because people were really not given guidance on what these papers were supposed to look like. So, we were seeing individual manuscripts come forward. Looking back, it really foreshadowed the importance of multidisciplinary management. But at the time, it was really more about ensuring that people were leaving the session with a singular message of what to do when you're in clinic again. And the goal was to have the manuscripts reflect that sort of consensus view of a topic that was coming in. There were certain things that people still argued would not fit in a multidisciplinary manuscript. You know, if you have someone who's writing and whose entire talk was on the pathology of thyroid cancer. Another topic was on survivorship after thyroid cancer. It was hard to sort of get those two to interact and cover what was being covered. So, we were still getting that. But you're right, at the end of my tenure and into yours, there were far fewer of those individual manuscripts. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And I think it's even made it easier to write because now, you know, you just have to write a section of a manuscript and not put together an entire review. So, it has helped with getting people on board. Dr. Don Dizon: Well, the other thing I thought was really interesting about the process is when you're invited to do an Education Session at ASCO, you're either invited as a faculty speaker or as the chair of the session. And the responsibility of the chair is to ensure that it flows well and that the talks are succinct based on what the agenda or the objectives were as defined by the education committee for that specific group. But that was it. So really being named “Chair” was sort of an honor, an honorific. It really didn't come with responsibility. So, we use the Ed Book as a way to say, “As chair of the session, it is your responsibility to ensure A, a manuscript comes to me, but B, that the content of that paper harmonizes and is accurate.” And it was very rare, but Nate, I think we got dragged into a couple of times where the accuracy of the manuscript was really called into question by the chair. And those were always very, very tricky discussions because everyone that gets invited to ASCO is a recognized leader in their field. Some of us, especially, I would probably say, dating back 10 years from today, the data behind Standards of Care were not necessarily evidence-based. So, there were a lot of opinion-based therapies. You know, maybe not so much in the medical side, but certainly some of it. But when you went to, you know, surgical treatments and maybe even radiotherapy treatments, it was really based on, “My experience at my center is this and this is why I do what I do.” But those kinds of things ended up being some of the more challenging things to handle as an editor. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And those are the– I'll use “fun” in a broad sense. You know, every once in a while, you get an article where it really does take a lot of hands-on work from the editor to work with the author to try to revise it and make it a suitable academic manuscript. But you know what? I can't think, at least in recent years, of any manuscripts that we turned down. They just sometimes needed a little TLC. Dr. Don Dizon: Yeah. And I think the other important thing it reminds me of is how great it was that I wasn't doing this by myself. Because it was so great to be able to reach out to you and say, “Can you give me your take on this paper?” Or, “Can you help me just join a conference call with the authors to make sure that we're on the same page?” And then on the rare example where we were going to reject a paper, it was really important that we, as the editorial team, and I include our ASCO shepherder, through the whole process. We had to all agree that this was not salvageable. Fortunately, it happened very rarely. But I've got to say, not doing this job alone was one of the more important facets of being the EIC of ASCO's Educational Book. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Well, it's nice to hear you say that. I definitely felt that this was a partnership, you know, it was a labor of love. So, I want to go to what I consider sort of the third major pillar of the changes to the Ed Book during your tenure, and that was the introduction of a whole new kind of manuscript. So up to, I don't know, maybe seven or eight years ago, all the articles were authored just by people who were presenting at the Annual Meeting. And then you had an idea to introduce invited manuscripts. So take me through that. Dr. Don Dizon: Yeah, well, you know, again, it went to this sort of, what can people who are being asked to sort of lead ASCO for that year, what can they demonstrate as sort of a more tangible contribution to the Society and to oncology in general? And I think that was the impetus to use the Ed Book for everyone who was in a leadership position to make their mark. That said, I was here, and I was either president of the society or I was Education Program Chair or Scientific Program Chair, and they got to select an article type that was not being covered in the annual meeting and suggest the authors and work with those authors to construct a manuscript. Never did any one of those folks suggest themselves, which I thought was fascinating. They didn't say, “I want to be the one to write this piece,” because this was never meant to be a presidential speech or a commemorative speech or opportunity for them as leaders. But we wanted to ensure that whatever passion they had within oncology was represented in the book. And again, it was this sort of sense of, I want everyone to look at the Ed Book and see themselves in it and see what they contributed. And that was really important for those who were really shepherding each Annual Meeting each year for ASCO that they had the opportunity to do that. And I was really pleased that leadership really took to that idea and were very excited about bringing ideas and also author groups into the Educational Book who would not have had the opportunity otherwise. I thought that was just really nice. It was about inclusiveness and just making sure that people had the opportunity to say, “If you want to participate, we want you to participate.” Dr. Nathan Pennell: Yeah, I agree. I think the ASCO leadership jumped on this and continues to still really appreciate the opportunity to be able to kind of invite someone on a topic that's meaningful to them. I think we've tried to work in things that incorporate the presidential theme each year in our invited manuscript, so it really allows them to put kind of a stamp on the flavor of each edition. And the numbers reflect that these tend to be among our more highly read articles as well. Dr. Don Dizon: You know, looking back on what we did together, that was something I'm really, really quite proud of, that we were able to sort of help the Educational Book evolve that way. Dr. Nathan Pennell: I agree. You brought up briefly a few minutes ago about social media and its role over time. I think when we started in 2012, I had just joined Twitter now X in 2011, and I think we were both sort of early adopters in the social media. Do you feel like social media has had a role in the growth of the Ed Book or is this something that you think we can develop further? Dr. Don Dizon: When we were doing Ed Book together, professional social media was actually a quite identified space. You know, we were all on the same platform. We analyzed what the outcomes were on that platform and our communities gathered on that platform. So, it was a really good place to highlight what we were publishing, especially as we went to continuous publishing.  I don't remember if it was you or me, but we even started asking our authors for a tweet and those tweets needed work. It was you. It was you or I would actually lay in these tweets to say, “Yeah, we need to just, you know, work on this.” But I think it's harder today. There's no one preferred platform. Alternate platforms are still evolving. So, I think there are opportunities there. The question is: Is that opportunity meaningful enough for the Ed Book to demonstrate its return on an investment, for example? What I always thought about social media, and it's still true today, is that it will get eyes on whatever you're looking at far beyond who you intended to see it. So, you know, your tweets regarding a phase 3 clinical trial in lung cancer, which were so informative, were reaching me, who was not a lung oncologist who doesn't even see lung cancer and getting me more interested in finding that article and more and more pointing to the Educational Book content that speaks to that piece, you know. And I think coupling an impression of the data, associating that with something that is freely accessed is, I think, a golden opportunity not only for our colleagues, but also for anyone who's interested in a topic. Whether you are diagnosed with that cancer or you are taking care of someone with that cancer, or you heard about that cancer, there are people who would like to see information that is relevant and embedded and delivered by people who know what they're talking about. And I think our voices on social media are important because of it. And I think that's where the contribution is. So, if we had to see what the metric was for any social media efforts, it has to be more of the click rates, not just by ASCO members, but the click rates across societies and across countries. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Yeah, social media is, I mean, obviously evolving quite a bit in the last couple of years. But I do know that in terms the alt metrics for the track access through social media and online, the ones that are shared online by the authors, by the Ed Book team, do seem to get more attention. I think a lot of people don't like to just sit with a print journal anymore or an email table of contents for specific journals. People find these articles that are meaningful to them through their network and oftentimes that is online on social media. Dr. Don Dizon: Yes, 100%. And you know what I think we should encourage people to do is look at the source. And if the Ed Book becomes a source of information, I think that will be a plus to the conversations in our world. We're still dealing with a place where, depending on who sponsored the trial, whether it was an industry-sponsored trial, whether it was NCI sponsored or sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, for example, access to the primary data sets may or may not be available across the world, but the Ed Book is. And if the Ed Book can summarize that data and use terms and words that are accessible no matter what your grade level of education is. If we can explain the graphs and the figures in a way that people can actually easily more understand it. If there's a way that we structure our conversations in the Ed Book so that the plethora of inclusion/exclusion criteria are summarized and simplified, then I think we can achieve a place where good information becomes more accessible, and we can point to a summary of the source data in places where the source is not available. Dr. Nathan Pennell: One of the other things that I continue to be surprised at how popular these podcasts are. And that gives you an opportunity pretty much the opposite. Instead of sort of a nugget that directs you to the source material, you've got a more in-depth discussion of the manuscript. And so, I'm delighted that we have our own podcast. For many years, the Ed Book would sort of do a sort of a “Weird Al takeover” of the ASCO Daily News Podcast for a couple of episodes around the Annual Meeting, and I think those were always really popular enough that we were able to argue that we deserved our own podcast. And I'm really looking forward to having these in-depth discussions with authors. Dr. Don Dizon: It's an amazing evolution of where the Ed Book has gone, right? We took it from print only, societally only, to something that is now accessed worldwide via PubMed. We took it from book to fully online print. And now I think making the content live is a natural next step. So, I applaud you for doing the podcast and giving people an opportunity actually to discuss what their article discusses. And if there's a controversial point, giving them the freedom and the opportunity to sort of give more nuanced views on what may not be something that there's 100% consensus over. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Yes. Well, I hope other people enjoy these as well. Just want to highlight a few of the things that have happened just in the couple years since you stepped down as editor-in-chief. One of them, and I don't know if you noticed, but last year we started adding manuscripts from the ASCO thematic meetings, so ASCO GI and ASCO GU, something we had certainly talked about in the past, but had lacked bandwidth to really do. And they seem to be pretty widely accessed. Dr. Don Dizon: That's fantastic. Yes, I do remember talking about the coverage of the thematic meetings and you're right, this takes a long time to sort of concentrate on the Annual Meeting. It may seem like everything happens in the span of like eight weeks. Dr. Nathan Pennell: It does feel like that sometimes. Dr. Don Dizon: Right? But this is actually something that starts a year before, once the education program is set. We're in the room when they set it. But then it's really chasing down manuscripts and then making sure that they're peer reviewed because the peer review is still really important, and then making sure that any revisions are made before it's finalized and goes to press. That is a many months process. So, when we're trying to introduce, “Oh, we should also do ASCO GU or-,” the question was, how do you want to do that given this very, very involved process going forward? So, I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Well, it's challenging. I don't think people realize quite the compressed timeline for these. You know, the Education Session and authors and invited faculty are picked in the fall, and then basically you have to start turning in your manuscripts in February, March of the following year. And so, it's a really tight turnaround for this. When we talk about the ASCO thematic meetings, it's an even tighter window. Dr. Don Dizon: Right, exactly. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And so, it's challenging to get that moving, but I was really, really proud that we were able to pull that off. Dr. Don Dizon: Well, congratulations again. And I think that is a necessary step, because so much of what's going on in the various disease management sites is only covered cursorily through the Annual Meeting itself. I mean, there's just so much science breaking at any one time that I think if we want to comprehensively catalog the Year in Review in oncology, it kind of behooves us to do that. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Some other things that are coming up because we now have manuscripts that are going to be coming in year-round, and just to kind of make it easier on the editorial staff, we're going to be forming an editorial board. And in addition to our pool of reviewers who get ASCO points, please feel free to go online to the ASCO volunteer portal and sign up if you are interested in participating. So, moving forward, I'm really excited to see where things are going to go. Dr. Don Dizon: Well, that's great. That's great. And I do remember talking about whether or not we needed to have an editorial board. At least when I was there, having this carried by three people was always better than having it carried by one person. And I think as you expand the potential for submissions, it will be very helpful to have that input for sure. And then it gives another opportunity for more members to get involved in ASCO as well. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Absolutely. People want involvement, and so happy to provide that. Dr. Don Dizon: Yes. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Is there anything we didn't cover that you would like to mention before we wrap up? Dr. Don Dizon: Well, I will say this, that ASCO and through its publications not only has had this real emphasis on multidisciplinary management of cancers, especially where it was relevant, but it also always had a stand to ensure representation was front and center and who wrote for us. And I think every president, every chair that I've worked with naturally embraced that idea of representation. And I think it has been a distinct honor to say that during my tenure as EIC, we have always had a plethora of voices, of authors from different countries, of genders, that have participated in the construction of those books. And it stands as a testament that we are a global community and we will always be one. Dr. Nathan Pennell: Well, thank you for that. And I'm happy to continue that as we move forward. Well, Don, thank you. It's been great speaking with you. You played such a pivotal role in the Ed Book's evolution and I'm so glad you were able to join me for our inaugural episode. Dr. Don Dizon: Well, I'm just tickled that you asked me to be your first guest. Thank you so much, Nate. Dr. Nathan Pennell: And I also want to thank our listeners for joining us today. We hope you'll join us again for more insightful views on topics you'll be hearing at the Education Sessions from ASCO meetings throughout the year, as well as our periodic deep dives on advances that are shaping modern oncology.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #317! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I dive into whether or not there is a "faster way" to losing weight. I dive into common questions I get regarding carb cycling, fasting, and more, and whether those things are good for female physiology.  I reference Dr. Stacy Sims and her research on this in multiple instances. You can learn more via Sims' blog found here. Dr. Sims also has several articles published via PubMed on the subject of female athletes.

In this episode, we dive deep into one of nature's most powerful superfoods—colostrum—and explore its incredible benefits for immune function, gut health, and overall well-being. But we're taking it a step further by introducing Immunel, a highly concentrated and bioactive colostrum extract developed by Sterling Technology. Immunel represents the 5th generation of colostrum, setting a new standard for immune and gut support. Topics Covered:  What is Colostrum? The first milk produced after birth, rich in antibodies (IgG), growth factors, and bioactive peptides. The science behind 9,000+ PubMed studies on colostrum's health benefits.  The Health Benefits of Bovine Colostrum Immune Boosting: Clinical research shows colostrum is 3x more effective than the flu vaccine in reducing flu incidence. Gut Healing Properties: Protects the GI lining, reduces diarrhea by 86.6%, and helps in ulcerative colitis management. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Supports those with NSAID-induced GI issues. Stem Cell & Regenerative Potential.  Immunel: The Next Evolution in Colostrum A concentrated colostrum extract packed with key bioactive compounds: Growth Factors (IGF-1, TGF-ß2) Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) for immune modulation Enzymes (lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin) for pathogen defense Sialic Acid & Nucleotides essential for immune function & DNA synthesis  Immunel vs. Standard Colostrum Unlike standard colostrum, which focuses on IgG content, Immunel is clinically validated for immune activation and pathogen defense. Outperforms β-glucans and vitamin C in immune response.  Scientific Evidence on Immunel Enhances phagocytosis & innate immunity Activates Natural Killer (NK) cells (↑ CD69 expression) Reduces bacterial lung infections by 70.2% Lowers viral load by 64% in influenza  Why This Matters for Public Health The economic burden of flu & colds: 75M lost workdays annually, costing $37.5B. Growing consumer interest: 47% of people prioritize immune health, driving demand for functional foods. Immunel is a next-generation, scientifically backed immune and gut health solution—more bioavailable and effective than traditional colostrum. Perfect for daily supplementation to support overall health and resilience.

The pervasive presence of microplastics and environmental toxins in our daily lives poses a growing threat to human health, with impacts ranging from hormonal disruption and metabolic dysfunction to immune system compromise and chronic inflammation. These contaminants, found in food packaging, water supplies, personal care products, and even the air we breathe, accumulate in the body and contribute to the rise in chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune conditions. Understanding their far-reaching effects is essential, but the good news is that the body has powerful detoxification mechanisms that, when properly supported through dietary choices, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted supplementation, can help mitigate their damage.  In this episode, I discuss, along with toxin-expert Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, why we need to take action to reduce toxin exposures, reverse existing damage, and build a foundation for long-term well-being. Dr. Joseph Pizzorno is a transformational leader in medicine. Through half a century of work, he has helped establish and advance the academic, scientific, and clinical protocols for natural, functional, integrative, and environmental medicine. As founding president of Bastyr University in 1978, he coined the term “science-based natural medicine” and led Bastyr to become the first-ever accredited institution in the field. He has set worldwide standards of practice by authoring or co-authoring six textbooks for doctors, including the Textbook of Natural Medicine (over 100,000 copies in 4 languages across 5 editions) and Clinical Environmental Medicine. He is Editor-in-Chief of PubMed-indexed IMCJ—the most widely read, peer-reviewed journal in the field (25,000 copies each issue). He is a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Functional Medicine, where he served three terms as Chair. A licensed naturopathic physician, educator, researcher, and expert spokesman, he is also the author or co-author of eight consumer books (most recent, Healthy Bones, Healthy You! with his wife Lara).  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Jessica Talisman, a senior information architect deeply immersed in the worlds of taxonomy, ontology, and knowledge management. The conversation spans the evolution of libraries, the shifting nature of public and private access to knowledge, and the role of institutions like the Internet Archive in preserving digital history. They also explore the fragility of information in the digital age, the ongoing battle over access to knowledge, and how AI is shaping—and being shaped by—structured data and knowledge graphs. To connect with Jessica Talisman, you can reach her via LinkedIn.  Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:05 – Libraries, Democracy, Public vs. Private Knowledge Jessica explains how libraries have historically shifted between public and private control, shaping access to knowledge and democracy.00:10 – Internet Archive, Cyberattacks, Digital Preservation Stewart describes visiting the Internet Archive post-cyberattack, sparking a discussion on threats to digital preservation and free information.00:15 – AI, Structured Data, Ontologies, NIH, PubMed Jessica breaks down how AI trains on structured data from sources like NIH and PubMed but often lacks alignment with authoritative knowledge.00:20 – Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, Tim Berners-Lee They explore how linked data enables machines to understand connections between knowledge, referencing the vision behind the semantic web.00:25 – Entity Management, Cataloging, Provenance, Authority Jessica explains how libraries are transitioning from cataloging books to managing entities, ensuring provenance and verifiable knowledge.00:30 – Digital Dark Ages, Knowledge Loss, Corporate Control Stewart compares today's deletion of digital content to historical knowledge loss, warning about the fragility of digital memory.00:35 – War on Truth, Book Bans, Algorithmic Bias, Censorship They discuss how knowledge suppression—from book bans to algorithmic censorship—threatens free access to information.00:40 – AI, Search Engines, Metadata, Schema.org, RDF Jessica highlights how AI and search engines depend on structured metadata but often fail to prioritize authoritative sources.00:45 – Power Over Knowledge, Open vs. Closed Systems, AI Ethics They debate the battle between corporations, governments, and open-source efforts to control how knowledge is structured and accessed.00:50 – Librarians, AI Misinformation, Knowledge Organization Jessica emphasizes that librarians and structured knowledge systems are essential in combating misinformation in AI.00:55 – Future of Digital Memory, AI, Ethics, Information Access They reflect on whether AI and linked data will expand knowledge access or accelerate digital decay and misinformation.Key InsightsThe Evolution of Libraries Reflects Power Struggles Over Knowledge: Libraries have historically oscillated between being public and private institutions, reflecting broader societal shifts in who controls access to knowledge. Jessica Talisman highlights how figures like Andrew Carnegie helped establish the modern public library system, reinforcing libraries as democratic spaces where information is accessible to all. However, she also notes that as knowledge becomes digitized, new battles emerge over who owns and controls digital information​​.The Internet Archive Faces Systematic Attacks on Knowledge: Stewart Alsop shares his firsthand experience visiting the Internet Archive just after it had suffered a major cyberattack. This incident is part of a larger trend in which libraries and knowledge repositories worldwide, including those in Canada, have been targeted. The conversation raises concerns that these attacks are not random but part of a broader, well-funded effort to undermine access to information​​.AI and Knowledge Graphs Are Deeply Intertwined: AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), rely on structured data sources such as knowledge graphs, ontologies, and linked data. Talisman explains how institutions like the NIH and PubMed provide openly available, structured knowledge that AI systems train on. Yet, she points out a critical gap—AI often lacks alignment with real-world, authoritative sources, which leads to inaccuracies in machine-generated knowledge​​.Libraries Are Moving From Cataloging to Entity Management: Traditional library systems were built around cataloging books and documents, but modern libraries are transitioning toward entity management, which organizes knowledge in a way that allows for more dynamic connections. Linked data and knowledge graphs enable this shift, making it easier to navigate vast repositories of information while maintaining provenance and authority​​.The War on Truth and Information Is Accelerating: The episode touches on the increasing threats to truth and reliable information, from book bans to algorithmic suppression of knowledge. Talisman underscores the crucial role librarians play in preserving access to primary sources and maintaining records of historical truth. As AI becomes more prominent in knowledge dissemination, the need for robust, verifiable sources becomes even more urgent​​.Linked Data is the Foundation of Digital Knowledge: The conversation explores how linked data protocols, such as those championed by Tim Berners-Lee, allow machines and AI to interpret and connect information across the web. Talisman explains that institutions like NIH publish their taxonomies in RDF format, making them accessible as structured, authoritative sources. However, many organizations fail to leverage this interconnected data, leading to inefficiencies in knowledge management​​.Preserving Digital Memory is a Civilization-Defining Challenge: In the digital age, the loss of information is more severe than ever. Alsop compares the current state of digital impermanence to the Dark Ages, where crucial knowledge risks disappearing due to corporate decisions, cyberattacks, and lack of preservation infrastructure. Talisman agrees, emphasizing that digital archives like the Internet Archive, WorldCat, and Wikimedia are foundational to maintaining a collective human memory​​.

“So, for people who might think, ‘You see, the vegan diet is too expensive'—no. You can get frozen fruits and vegetables too if you can't get the fresh ones. Absolutely, absolutely. This is true. And I'll do a tangent on your tangent. One of the things that I always recommend to people when I've done nutrition coaching in the past is, if they're price-sensitive, getting dried legumes and dried beans. They are some of the most nutrient-dense and cost-effective things you can buy.” -Alexandra Paul and Jason Wrobel How much cardiovascular exercise do you really need? What's the truth about soy, cholesterol, and daily protein intake? In this episode, Alexandra and Jason cut through the confusion, tackling the dangers of visceral fat, the surprising science behind intermittent fasting and autophagy, and the truth about frozen versus fresh produce.

I have long followed the work of Dr. Margaret McCartney. She is a general practitioner in Glasgow, Scotland, writer, public speaker, and now PhD. She is a fierce advocate for evidence-based medicine. She holds highly skeptical views of screening for disease—which, to my surprise is quite common in the UK. Her recently finished PhD sought empirical evidence regarding declaration of conflicts of interest in the UK. Here is a link to the document. Screening for atrial fibrillation is a focus of this work. Here is a link to her PubMed listing. We had a nice conversation about all things evidence and conflicts. I learned a lot about the health system in the UK. As an added bonus, Dr. M is also an avid cyclist. As always, thank you for your support of Sensible Medicine.

We're doing a deep dive into NAD, a molecule that has received a lot of attention but still confuses many of us, clinicians included. My guest today is able to unpack the complexities of NAD in a way you'll find extremely illuminating and useful. I'm excited to have Dr. Greg Kelly Senior Director of Product Development at Qualia, back with us, explaining how NAD is foundational for energy, longevity, and overall cellular health. Dr. Kelly brings clarity to how NAD influences mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and pretty much all of the hallmarks of aging. Yet, problematically, it declines as we age. This episode will cover different NAD compounds, how deficiency might present clinically, and how to measure NAD reliably. Have a listen and get ready to expand your understanding around this essential compound. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

Dr. Isabelle Raymond, Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs for Nutrafol, joins SHE MD to dive into the science of hair health. Together, they explore the complex root causes of hair thinning in women, including genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, and the transformative impact of life stages like perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Raymond sheds light on how Nutrafol's targeted, science-backed formulations stand apart, explaining how they're designed to address women's unique hair health needs with supplements for different life phases, including postpartum, and menopause. With a holistic approach to hair care, Nutrafol embraces the interconnected factors of diet, microbiome health, and inflammation, dispelling common myths about hair thinning. Join us as Dr. Raymond shares her passion for advancing women-centered research and provides insights into other lifestyle modifications to complement Nutrafol's innovative solutions.Sponsor: Go to www.Nutrafol.com and use code SHEMD for $10 off your first month's subscription. Nutrafol is the first hair (growth) supplement (brand) with published clinical studies on menopausal women (with hair thinning). Based on US publications in Pubmed, Cochrane and top Google Scholar and ScienceDirect results prior to Feb. '21.IN THIS EPISODE:[1:20] Dr. Raymond discusses hair thinning and the difference between men and women[3:30] Why women experience hair thinning and the stages of growth and genetics[9:54] Dr. Raymond discusses why Nutrafol works and the ingredients in the formulas[16:26] Nutrafol takes a holistic approach to hair growth and myths and misconceptions about hair thinning[22:48] Hair thinning in perimenopause and menopause, trauma, stress, hormone changes, illnesses[32:06] How do you know what vitamins you can take along with Nutrafol and the importance of having women included in the research [38:27] Dr. Raymond discusses her reasons for joining NutrafolNUTRAFOL'S 5 TAKEAWAYS: 1. Not all supplements are created equal. Supplements as a category overwhelmingly relies on single-ingredient studies, and that can make it confusing as a consumer to understand which products are going to deliver the impact they promise. Look for products with clinical studies conducted on full formulations. 2 Not all clinical studies are created equal. Who, how and what is evaluated is as meaningful as the outcome in a clinical study. As a consumer, here are some key things to look for that can help you decipher information from clinical studies: subject selected by random process, diverse group of subjects studied, test treatments measured against a controlled treatment, studies completed on final formulas and not just single ingredients, studies that have been published by peer-reviewed journals 3. Hair health is reflective of whole-body health. That's why it's important to target the key root causes of thinning, by incorporating a supplement into your routine as well as addressing lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep or environmental factors. Your body and hair will also change based on your life stage and lifestyle. Nutrafol's formulas are uniquely tailored to support you where you are and with what you and your hair need most.4. Menopausal hair thinning is common, but there are ways to address it head on. More than 50% of women will experience hair thinning through menopause. Supporting your body with a hair-focused supplement like Nutrafol that addresses hormonal shifts as a root cause can help support your hair through these changes. 5. Advocate for – and educate – yourself! It's inspiring to see the landscape beginning to shift, as women and female physicians have a bigger voice in leading and informing medical research. But 80% of women still report never receiving education about menopause! I encourage women to educate themselves on menopause so they feel better prepared for the changes that menopause brings and can voice them, or any other concerns, with their physician. GUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Isabelle Raymond is Nutrafol's Head of Clinical and Medical Affairs. Her expertise is in dermatology, with a focus on hair health.

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle health with Dr. Chris Meletis, exploring why maintaining muscle mass is critical as we age and how MYOS MD's revolutionary supplement, Fortetropin, can play a pivotal role in combating muscle loss. Key Topics Covered: The Importance of Muscle for Longevity: Muscles act as the currency of longevity, influencing metabolism, physical functionality, myokine production, hormone balance, and overall musculoskeletal health. After age 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates, with lean body mass decreasing by 1-2% annually and strength declining 1.5-5% per year. This impacts mobility, independence, and systemic health. Understanding Myostatin and Its Role: Myostatin is a natural protein that inhibits muscle growth, preventing excess muscle accumulation. While beneficial in early development, elevated myostatin levels with age, injury, or illness can exacerbate muscle wasting and hinder recovery. How MYOS MD's Fortetropin Helps: Fortetropin, derived from fertilized chicken egg yolk, is clinically proven to lower myostatin levels and support muscle protein synthesis. Benefits include: Increased muscle mass and strength. Reduced muscle breakdown. Enhanced recovery after injury or surgery. Clinical trials show an 18% increase in protein synthesis in older adults after just 21 days of supplementation without changes to diet or exercise. Applications of Fortetropin: Protecting lean body mass during weight loss, especially with GLP-1 treatments or bariatric surgery. Supporting recovery from injuries or surgeries where muscle atrophy is a concern. Enhancing physical performance for athletes and active individuals. Practical Insights and Dosing: Typical starting dose: 6.6 grams per day. Easy to incorporate into daily routines—mix with shakes, yogurt, or water. Pair with amino acids, CoQ10, and a protein-rich diet for optimal results. The Bigger Picture: Dr. Meletis explains how muscle health impacts metabolic function, bone density, and overall aging. Strategies to combat sarcopenia include resistance training, balanced nutrition, and innovative interventions like Fortetropin. Resources: Learn more about MYOS MD and Fortetropin: MYOS MD Official Site. Explore Dr. Chris Meletis's work: Dr. Meletis's Official Site. Clinical studies referenced during the podcast are available on the MYOS MD website. This conversation is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to age healthfully, maintain their independence, and optimize their body's functionality. Don't miss it!   BIO Dr. Chris D.

I want your understanding of the Carnivore connection hypothesis; the PubMed links are included: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22235369/. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlmThe 'carnivore connection'--evolutionary aspects of insulin resistance - PubMed.nThe 'carnivore connection'--evolutionary aspects of insulin resistance - PubMedih.gov/11965520/. I am a layperson researching why my insulin resistance has gone up while my A1C, weight, waist, and everything else have seemed to improve. I have adopted a largely meat-based eating habit, with some fasting included. Yes, as a 5'11" male with an ideal body weight of 180-200 lbs, I average at least 200 grams of protein daily. I expected my IR to lower, but it has gradually increased as my A1C has decreased. You can explain this hypothesis better than I can write here, and I want to hear whether I understood the paper. Suppose I have understood the paper(s), again, being a layperson. In that case, I hope someone will look into gestational diabetes and see if it is the body's natural reaction to become more IR for a reproductive advantage. Thank you for continuing to educate me.
