Joining us today is Jane Jansen, a Natural & Holistic Practitioner at The Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts. Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a natural & holistic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems. Jane joins us today to discuss why probiotics are important at all stages of our lives.Our ancestors tended not to have modern-day 21st Century digestive issues because they ingested naturally fermented foods that, as we know today, produced probiotics & postbiotics. The challenge in today's “fast-food & processed food” world is that we do not eat a lot of naturally fermented foods like our ancestors.Our ancestors, from early times to the early 1900's, ingested more fruits and vegetables, as well as other natural foods that had fermented overtime preserving their food supply. For instance, milk could become yogurt or buttermilk; vegetables could become sauerkraut, pickles, or kimchee. Soybeans could become miso, tofu, or tempeh. By-the-way, we can still use these foods to incorporate probiotics from food naturally into our diets.But our modern food industry is largely based on a fast-food culture and processed foods which are lacking in healthful fermentation of fruits and vegetables which naturally produce probiotics and more importantly, postbiotics. Postbiotic metabolites is the term that refers to the wide range of health-regulating compounds that the good bacteria produce and secrete in the intestinal tract (primarily in the colon) when they digest and ferment the fiber content in the foods we eat. Everyone is born with a miniature microbiome (eco system) inside the intestines. This ecosystem is populated by trillions of microscopic organisms which include over a thousand species of bacteria, as well as viruses, fungi, and parasites. Most are good, some are bad.As you grow, your gut microbiome begins to diversify into many different types of microbial species. This eco system affects the whole body by controlling the digestion of food, immune system regulation, central nervous system, brain health and other bodily functions as well as keeping guard against harmful invaders.Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.

What if a scan could do more than show you a picture, what if it could tell you a story about what's happening inside a child's body, in real time?That's exactly what Dr. Chris Flask is working to make possible.Dr. Flask is a Professor of Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, and Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals of Cleveland. He's at the forefront of an exciting transformation in medical imaging, one that could change the way we care for children with rare genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis (CF) and polycystic kidney disease (PKD).“Our goal is to turn imaging, instead of just image creation, into data,” says Dr. Flask. “We want to create numbers. So we can say, this is what's going on in the lungs. And when we put these patients on modulator therapies, we can see a 10 percent improvement in their lung disease. And similar responses in the pancreas, the liver, and the gut. That's our goal—quantifying it through this fingerprinting methodology.”This approach, MRI fingerprinting, is a revolutionary leap forward. Developed over the past decade at Case Western's MRI center, it's fast, accurate, and most importantly for kids: it requires no sedation, no radiation, and no contrast agents. Each image slice takes just 15 seconds, making it safer and more accessible for the most vulnerable patients.Dr. Flask's work is supported by the NIH, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and an extraordinary 42-year collaboration with Siemens MRI. Together, they're paving the way for multi-center clinical trials using this technology to better understand disease progression and therapy outcomes.This episode is all about the intersection of science, innovation, and compassion, and the powerful impact of data-driven care.We're honored to welcome Dr. Flask to the show, although he prefers we call him Chris.

Joining us today is Jane Jansen, a Natural & Holistic Practitioner at The Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts. Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a natural & holistic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems. Jane joins us today to discuss why probiotics are important at all stages of our lives.Our ancestors tended not to have modern-day 21st Century digestive issues because they ingested naturally fermented foods that, as we know today, produced probiotics & postbiotics. The challenge in today's “fast-food & processed food” world is that we do not eat a lot of naturally fermented foods like our ancestors.Our ancestors, from early times to the early 1900's, ingested more fruits and vegetables, as well as other natural foods that had fermented overtime preserving their food supply. For instance, milk could become yogurt or buttermilk; vegetables could become sauerkraut, pickles, or kimchee. Soybeans could become miso, tofu, or tempeh. By-the-way, we can still use these foods to incorporate probiotics from food naturally into our diets.But our modern food industry is largely based on a fast-food culture and processed foods which are lacking in healthful fermentation of fruits and vegetables which naturally produce probiotics and more importantly, postbiotics. Postbiotic metabolites is the term that refers to the wide range of health-regulating compounds that the good bacteria produce and secrete in the intestinal tract (primarily in the colon) when they digest and ferment the fiber content in the foods we eat. Everyone is born with a miniature microbiome (eco system) inside the intestines. This ecosystem is populated by trillions of microscopic organisms which include over a thousand species of bacteria, as well as viruses, fungi, and parasites. Most are good, some are bad.As you grow, your gut microbiome begins to diversify into many different types of microbial species. This eco system affects the whole body by controlling the digestion of food, immune system regulation, central nervous system, brain health and other bodily functions as well as keeping guard against harmful invaders.Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.

This week on Clear Lake Connections Podcast presented by UTMB Health: Meet Dr. Arsalan Saleem InterventionalRadiologistIn this week's episode, we meet Dr. Arsalan Saleem, Associate Professor of Radiology at UTMB. Dr. Saleem explains what radiology is, how it is used and why it is so important to healthcare. He describes radiology as thebackbone of any medical system. All patients connect with radiology during their care. Ultrasounds, x-rays, MRI, CT scans are the most common procedures for imaging. Dr. Saleem discusses the remarkable technological advances in thelast decade for radiology. Scan times are faster, and the digital images are better which result in quicker diagnosis. Dr. Saleem also explains how radiology today can assist him with surgical procedures. Interventional radiology allowshim to perform procedures under image guidance to fix problems in the body without having to cut. Small puncture wounds can be used instead to speed up recovery times.

Faxed orders, scanned attachments, and inbox folders shouldn't be the reason prior authorizations are delayed. Yet for many radiology groups, that's still the case. Manual document capture creates friction at the front of the process—forcing staff to rename, sort, and route incoming faxes before a prior auth can even begin. In this episode, we explore how automating document capture accelerates the entire prior authorization workflow. From identifying STAT orders to extracting key order details and triggering auth submissions, we'll walk through how imaging centers are using AI-driven tools to minimize lag, reduce errors, and scale operations without burning out staff. Joining us is Charulata Nevatia, a healthcare product leader with deep experience in workflow automation. She'll share what high-performing radiology groups are doing differently and what steps you can take to modernize intake and boost auth readiness.
