COP30, now getting under way in Belem, Brazil, has been billed as “the implementation COP”, which means a focus on governments taking real steps to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. We will be examining all the key issues for government negotiators in the talks very soon. But for this show, we are looking at the role of business. At New York Climate Week in September, the discussion was all about how businesses are facing up to the challenges of meeting growing demand for energy while also curbing emissions. With the rise of AI and broader electrification trends driving up power demand in some places at rates not seen for decades, sustainability goals are under pressure. Will companies abandon them? Or are they just finding new ways to decarbonise while keeping things going? Two companies in very different industries but both focused on similar goals, are Prologis and Trane. First up, host Ed Crooks speaks to Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Officer at Prologis. She explains how the world's largest logistics real estate company is turning its vast rooftop space into a decentralized power network. It is building on-site solar, storage, and microgrids to keep global supply chains resilient, while generating new revenue streams.Then, Holly Paeper, President of Commercial HVAC for the Americas at Trane, describes how cooling systems are becoming a cornerstone of sustainable infrastructure. From AI-driven optimisation to data centres that can heat Olympic swimming pools, Holly talks about ways to reinvent thermal systems to reduce energy waste, enable grid flexibility, and turn buildings into active contributors to their communities.For all the breaking news and insight from COP30, follow Energy Gang wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textGrief is heavy; choice is heavier. We open the door to a conversation many avoid: how to make humane, timely end-of-life decisions for our dogs and other animals without surrendering dignity to fear or delay. Through real stories—a goat with Johne's disease, a Labrador remembered with regret, a joyful dog named Eazy whose last morning was full of play ... we map the emotional terrain and the practical steps that lead to a kinder farewell.We talk about the hard calls that vets present and what they mean in real life: failed vein access, prolonged sedation, and invasive procedures that add risk without improving outcomes. You'll hear why “a day early rather than a day late” can prevent traumatic endings like haemorrhage, suffocation, or frantic final car rides. We share how to plan a peaceful goodbye at home, in a place your dog loves ... the training arena, the garden, a sunny bed ... with familiar voices, favourite games, and last suppers that say “you're safe.” Presence matters; calm touch and routine reduce fear, and those final moments become a gentle memory instead of a lifelong scar.We also challenge treatment norms. Not every surgery, MRI, or chemo protocol serves the animal when the prognosis is poor. We walk through the questions that bring clarity: What does recovery look like? What comfort will this buy? What risks are certain? Alongside honest talk about limits, we cover supportive care ... nutrition upgrades, raw diets when appropriate, targeted supplements, and low-stress routines—that can boost wellbeing without false hope. The through line is stewardship: asking tough questions, choosing compassion over delay, and trusting yourself to act before suffering eclipses joy.If you're bracing for a hard decision or carrying the weight of one that has passed, this conversation offers language, frameworks, and courage for the moments that matter most.

Optimizing Software Development in Non-Tech Enterprises: Lessons from Nate Amidon of Form100 ConsultingIn this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Nate Amidon, Founder and CEO of Form100 Consulting and Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserves. Nate shares how his background in both military leadership and enterprise consulting informs his approach to optimizing software development in non-tech organizations. From process mapping to team structure, he offers practical strategies for business leaders looking to improve efficiency, clarity, and scalability in their software operations.Optimizing Software in Non-Tech EnvironmentsNate explains that many organizations—manufacturers, service providers, and consumer brands—struggle with software development because it's not their core business. These companies often lack visibility into progress, rely on legacy processes, and face alignment issues across teams. His firm, Form100 Consulting, helps such enterprises identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and adopt lean, agile, and AI-driven practices that improve delivery speed without sacrificing quality.By mapping out the current workflow, teams can uncover where time and resources are being lost. Nate emphasizes focusing on the true constraint rather than over-optimizing non-critical steps. He also warns against chasing “shiny object” tools or AI solutions that don't solve the underlying process issues. Instead, organizations should apply AI incrementally to enhance existing systems.Drawing from his Air Force experience, Nate advocates for small, mission-focused teams—6 to 9 people—that communicate effectively and make decisions quickly. He stresses that sustainable improvement requires governance, ownership, and regular review. Ultimately, success comes from aligning teams, measuring progress, and committing to continuous improvement—much like in a high-performing military unit.About Nate AmidonNate Amidon is the Founder and CEO of Form100 Consulting, a firm that helps non-software-first enterprises optimize their software development processes. A Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves, Nate combines military leadership principles with enterprise strategy to help teams increase alignment, efficiency, and long-term performance.About Form100 ConsultingForm100 Consulting partners with major enterprises—including Hershey, Boeing, Rite Aid, and Alaska Airlines—to modernize software development practices through process improvement, agile adoption, and data-driven transformation. The firm's mission is to bring structure, clarity, and sustainable efficiency to organizations where software is a critical enabler—not the core product.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeForm100 Consulting WebsiteNate Amidon LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsCommon software challenges in non-tech companiesHow to identify and fix bottlenecks in development workflowsThe value of lean and agile principles for non-software teamsIncremental, ROI-focused AI integrationBuilding and scaling small, high-performing teamsApplying military leadership lessons to software developmentConclusionNate Amidon's insights bridge the gap between military precision and corporate innovation.

A hard truth sparked this conversation: too many students were reaching middle school unable to read independently at grade level. Erin Embon has spent 34 years across classrooms and leadership roles, and she walks us through how that pattern pushed her to rebuild reading instruction where it matters most. We unpack the data that challenged assumptions, the research that clarified next steps, and the practical moves that helped a district move to structured literacy with measurable momentum.Erin begins by talking about what she noticed across the middle school setting, and how that influenced her work in the elementary setting. She talks about her "aha" moment and how she took that knowledge to support both teachers and students. From there, Erin explains how she supported teachers during this transition -- all while recognizing the difference between those in lower and upper elementary classrooms. Erin then wraps up by sharing some great advice for those that are starting to tackle the world of literacy in their schools and classrooms. Read Kristen's blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/measuring-literacyFollow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

The word “metaphysics” conjures up thoughts of very hard questions about reality and deep, perhaps unresolvable, metaphysical mysteries. But is that the right way to think about the subject matter of metaphysics? According to Amie Thomasson, very clearly no. In her new book, Rethinking Metaphysics (Oxford University Press, 2025), Thomasson argues that traditional views of metaphysics make the mistake of assuming that our concepts all function the same way – for example, that the job of metaphysics is to provide truthmakers for statements about necessity and possibility, about morality, about numbers, when each of these discourses have different aims. Thomasson, who is Daniel P. Stone Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy at Dartmouth College, instead offers a deflationary view of metaphysics in which the job of metaphysicians is conceptual engineering – of figuring out how our concepts and terms work in a discourse, what their various functions are, and what conceptual schemes we should adopt, particularly if our current ones are leading us into metaphysical pseudo-problems.

Is capitalism still working, or is it due for an upgrade?   In this must-watch episode, authors Seth Levine and Elizabeth McBride discuss insights from their book Capital Evolution, sharing what they learned from interviewing top CEOs, including Jamie Dimon, Dan Schulman (PayPal), Peter Stavros (KKR), and others who are helping to reshape the social contract of business.   They explore: Why Jamie Dimon led 200 top CEOs to declare that companies should serve more than just shareholders. "If you ask Jamie Dimon, are you a capitalist? Because we asked him that, he said, I'm a rapacious capitalist." – Seth Levine Why the old model of shareholder primacy is failing How economic mobility has collapsed: "50 years ago, if you were born in the bottom 25th percentile of wealth, you had about a 25% chance of dying in the top 25th... Today, it's about 5%." Why ownership, not just wages, is key to the next phase of capitalism: "Ownership is a key to this new future that we see." How businesses, not just governments, must now lead on economic reform: "We believe in this current environment that businesses have the largest power and some responsibility to reshape the norms."

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Katrena Cohea, the creator behind Your Body Image BFF, to explore how dance educators can reframe conversations around body image, teaching methods, and dancer wellness.Katrena shares her journey from bunhead to flamenco dancer to teacher and studio owner, and how her experiences led her to create resources that help teachers integrate body neutrality and self-respect into dance training. Together, we discuss how early messages about body image begin forming in childhood, how pop culture reinforces harmful norms, and why the common “love your body” message can sometimes feel inaccessible to dancers.We also unpack the importance of evolving beyond the “we've always done it this way” mindset in dance culture and finding a balance between discipline, accountability, and compassion in the studio. This episode is full of honest insights, practical teaching tools, and hope for a more supportive dance world.Key Points in this Episode: Katrena's dance journey from ballet to flamenco and teaching How early body image messages shape young dancers Why “love your body” can feel vague - and what to say instead The creation of Love Your Body (or Don't), Katrena's five-day toolkit with Nicole Sabella Simple classroom practices that combine wellness and technique Rethinking traditional dance teaching methods and finding balance between rigor and empathy Encouraging curiosity, respect, and realistic self-awareness in dancersConnect with Katrena:INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/yourbodyimagebffLOVE YOUR BODY (OR DON'T): https://www.thenourisheddancer.com/love-your-body-or-dontLinks and Resources:Get 10% off registration for Étoile Dance Competition with code BRAINY10.Get your copy of The Ultimate Audition GuideLet's connect!My WEBSITE: thebrainyballerina.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thebrainyballerina1-1 CAREER MENTORING: book your complimentary career callQuestions/comments?

Eric Pilkington joins the show to cut through the noise around artificial intelligence and deliver some hard truths about what's actually working—and what's just expensive theater.AI isn't new; it's been around for 70+ years. The current generative AI boom is democratization, not innovation—and 95% of AI projects are still failing.Startups with no product, no customers, and no revenue raising $30-100 million. Companies are getting massive funding without a single dollar of revenue.The real AI leaders aren't the loudest voices on conference stages. They're the ones quietly embedding AI into workflows, building better products, and closing the gap between pilots and actual impact. Most companies chase cost savings instead of using AI to drive top-line growth. You can't cut your way to growth. Real business transformation comes from understanding the actual problems you're solving, not from chasing the newest shiny object. The superheroes of AI aren't prognosticating on stages—they're in garages and labs building things that'll matter five years from now.Mentioned:MIT Study on failure of AI pilots in business

For decades, neurologists and pharmaceutical firms have been focused on amyloid plaque building up in the brains as the cause of Alzheimer disease. Drug companies have developed compounds to remove that plaque, and they have been successful. There are medicines, notably lecanemab and donanemab, that reduce the amount of amyloid plaque visible on a scan. […]

In this deeply honest and sometimes difficult conversation, Melissa Matt, Kino MacGregor, Peg Mulqueen, Sarah Nelson, and Greg Nardi take a courageous step into the heart of Ashtanga Yoga's ongoing reckoning. This episode asks some of the most pressing and uncomfortable questions facing our community today: Who decides what practice looks like? How are poses given, and what happens when power, hierarchy, and silence intertwine? Drawing from recent events and decades of shared experience, the teachers reflect on accountability, lineage, and the urgent need for new models of integrity. The dialogue is raw, vulnerable, and imperfect but necessary.

Together, they explore why modern coaching has become overly reliant on patterns, how this affects player decision-making, and what it means to truly coach with principles instead of prescriptions. From “shopping-list” pressing traps to “joystick coaching,” Ray shares his journey of ripping up rigid models and designing training that produces adaptable, creative, and resilient players. The pair also discuss the fear of losing that drives much of modern football, the difference between control and influence, and the role of everyday coach development in breaking those cycles.

When we think about what happens to our body after we die, some of us may picture a heavy, polished casket or an urn of ashes left after cremation.But a growing number of people are choosing to return to the earth in more environmentally friendly ways.Some are choosing water-based cremation, which doesn't burn fossil fuels. Others are planning simpler death rituals that skip embalming, steel caskets and concrete burial vaults. Instead, the body is placed in the ground in a biodegradable basket or shroud and allowed to decompose as quickly and as naturally as possible. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with her guests about rising interest in these greener options and some of the questions and concerns that surround them. Guests: Angela Woosley has been a licensed mortician in Minnesota for 20 years. In 2020 she started her own funeral care business focused on natural death care, Inspired Journeys. She previously worked for a funeral home and taught in the Program of Mortuary Science at the University of Minnesota.   Taelor Johnson is the communications director for Interra Green Burial by Mueller Memorial in St. Paul and White Bear Lake. She's the third generation working in the family-run funeral home.  MPR News correspondent Dan Kraker is based in Duluth and covered efforts to establish a green cemetery in Carlton County, Minn.

Send us a textImagine a school where grades reward collaboration, character, and genuine mastery—not just memorization and speed. In this episode, Dean of Academics Marc Aronson shares how his school, Cheshire Academy,  rethought assessment through Grading What Matters, a framework focused on authentic learning, student agency, and mission-aligned outcomes.We explore Final Demonstrations of Learning instead of exams, a Community of Learners model that grades students on contribution and engagement, and a fully open honors pathway where any student can earn honors inside their regular class.Drawing from research by Grant Wiggins and Eric Mazur, Marc explains why performance assessments build deeper learning, why narrative feedback matters more than percentages, and how shifting to mission-based grading builds belonging, confidence, and durable skills.What you'll learn:• How to design authentic assessments & FDOLs• How to grade collaboration and community contribution• Why narrative feedback drives real motivation• Practical steps to begin grading what truly mattersIf grades shape how students see themselves, let them measure what counts: mastery, growth, and contribution.

Ravit Dotan argues that the primary barrier to accountable AI is not a lack of ethical clarity, but organizational roadblocks. While companies often understand what they should do, the real challenge is organizational dynamics that prevent execution—AI ethics has been shunted into separate teams lacking power and resources, with incentive structures that discourage engineers from raising concerns. Drawing on work with organizational psychologists, she emphasizes that frameworks prescribe what systems companies should have but ignore how to navigate organizational realities. The key insight: responsible AI can't be a separate compliance exercise but must be embedded organically into how people work. Ravit discusses a recent shift in her orientation from focusing solely on governance frameworks to teaching people how to use AI thoughtfully. She critiques "take-out mode" where users passively order finished outputs, which undermines skills and critical review. The solution isn't just better governance, but teaching workers how to incorporate responsible AI practices into their actual workflows.  Dr. Ravit Dotan is the founder and CEO of TechBetter, an AI ethics consulting firm, and Director of the Collaborative AI Responsibility (CAIR) Lab at the University of Pittsburgh. She holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from UC Berkeley and has been named one of the "100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics" (2023), and was a finalist for "Responsible AI Leader of the Year" (2025). Since 2021, she has consulted with tech companies, investors, and local governments on responsible AI. Her recent work emphasizes teaching people to use AI thoughtfully while maintaining their agency and skills. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, CNBC, Financial Times, and TechCrunch.

Rethinking "default lines" in the ICU

What if the financial metrics you rely on to measure your company's success are actually steering you away from long-term customer loyalty and sustainable growth? In our latest episode of the Delighted Customers podcast, live from Harvard Business School, I dive into this burning question with Rob Markey, professor at Harvard and seasoned veteran at Bain. Rob challenges the conventional wisdom around company valuation, urging us to look beyond the income statement and balance sheet, and instead, consider the real engine driving revenue—our customers. The impact of this discussion is huge: by focusing on customer behavior and relationships, leaders can uncover hidden risks, make smarter trade-offs between short-term gains and long-term health, and build models for enduring shareholder value. If you think financials are telling you the whole story, this episode will make you think twice. Why should you listen to Rob Markey? Rob doesn't just teach at Harvard Business School—he's one of the world's foremost experts on customer value, business strategy, and the metrics that really matter for growth. As co-creator of the Net Promoter System, his practical frameworks have transformed how organizations like Bain & Company help clients create true customer-centricity. Rob's guidance blends academic rigor with real-world experience, making complex ideas actionable for any business leader looking to future-proof their organization. Here are three compelling questions Rob answers on the show: Why are traditional accounting metrics like revenue and profit reporting missing the bigger picture of customer value? How can C-suite leaders balance inevitable short-term pressures with decisions that build loyalty and drive long-term growth? What specific steps can leaders take to re-evaluate their customer base and transform the way they forecast and measure company success? Tune in now and subscribe for more thought-provoking episodes! Find the Delighted Customers podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or listen on any of your favorite podcast platforms. Make sure to leave a review to help spread the word to more customer-obsessed leaders. Meet Rob Markey Rob Markey is a professor at Harvard Business School and a globally recognized expert in customer strategy, business growth, and valuation. Before Harvard, Rob was a Senior Partner at Bain & Company, where he led Bain's global Customer Strategy & Marketing practice. He's best known as the co-creator of the Net Promoter System (NPS), which has revolutionized how businesses measure customer loyalty and advocate for customers at the heart of their growth strategy. Markey has consulted with hundreds of organizations worldwide, helping them shift from product-centric to customer-centric models.

A 13-year Australian study has just dropped — and its findings are shaking the medical world. Children on ADHD medication reported lower quality of life than those who weren’t medicated. In this eye-opening episode, Justin unpacks why the “gold standard” research behind ADHD treatment might have been flawed all along — and what this means for families trying to do what’s best for their kids. This one might make you rethink everything you’ve been told. KEY POINTS The shocking new Deakin University study on ADHD medication and child wellbeing. Why “the gold standard” MTA study may have misled the world for decades. How peer review can fail — and how Big Pharma shapes the story. What long-term follow-ups reveal about medication outcomes. Why your child isn’t the problem — and what really needs to change instead. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Your child doesn’t have a problem. Thinking your child is the problem is often the bigger problem.” RESOURCES MENTIONED MTA Study (Multimodal Treatment of ADHD) and 3-year follow-up research. Deakin University longitudinal study on ADHD medication and quality of life. The Parenting Revolution by Dr Justin Coulson. Parenting ADHD [The Course] + Course FAQs [Article] Help for the Parent with ADHD ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Don’t make changes overnight — start by reading the linked studies. Talk to your child’s GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist about alternative supports. Focus on your child’s environment, not just their behaviour. Trust your gut — if something doesn’t feel right, it’s worth exploring. Remember: grace for your child, yourself, and your professionals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

iIn this powerful conversation, Tania sits down with Jonathan Alderson to challenge two of the most persistent myths about autism: the “five-year window” and the “myth of ritual.” Together they unpack the damaging idea that meaningful progress in autism must happen before age five, replacing it with hope, science, and lived experience that affirm growth across the lifespan. They also explore how so-called “rigid rituals” often serve a vital purpose in creating predictability, safety, and regulation.Jonathan shares a compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming lens that helps parents and educators see these behaviors as communication, not pathology. This episode is a reminder that autistic development is not bound by time and that honoring ritual can be an act of respect, not resistance.To find out more about Jonathan's incredible work, click hereThrive Guide: https://www.thriveguide.co/Book: Challenging the Myths of Autism: Click hereInstagram: Click hereWanting more from ICP?

We've seen a big push in recent years to improve cross-border payments. And yet, cross-border payments remain problematic for consumers and businesses, particularly in emerging markets or parts of the world with volatile currencies or limited availability of correspondent banks. At the center of this challenge is a concept called liquidity. In this episode, Yvette Bohanan and Ashley Lannquist welcome Mouloukou Sanoh, CEO and Co-Founder of MANSA, to explore liquidity challenges in cross-border payments, the transformative potential of stablecoins in emerging markets, and the strategic role of fintechs and banks in evolving global payment infrastructures. Listen in as they discuss practical solutions to these complex issues, aiming to unlock liquidity and scale payments efficiently across borders.

You've heard it your whole life: "Don't get too close, you'll catch a cold." But what if that's not how sickness works at all? What if health isn't about dodging germs, but about creating an environment your body actually feels safe in? Today, I'm sitting down with Daniel Roytas, author of Can You Catch a Cold? and a natural medicine practitioner who's challenging one of the biggest medical assumptions of our time—the idea of contagion itself. We're talking about what the research really shows about colds and flu, why sick people don't necessarily make healthy people sick, and how your environment, your emotions, and your beliefs play a far bigger role in healing than you've ever been told.  This isn't about fear. It's about freedom- from false narratives, from medical myths, and from the belief that your body is broken. If you're ready to question the story you were raised with and see illness through a completely new lens, this conversation will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your power to heal.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws welcomes back Victoria Dew, founder and CEO of Dewpoint Communications, to unpack findings from her latest research report, Connecting the Frontline: Current Trends, Challenges, and Strategic Opportunities in Workforce Communication. Victoria shares what her team discovered after interviewing communication leaders across 18 industries — from manufacturing and healthcare to construction and education — about the urgent need to better connect with deskless and frontline workers. Together, Brandon and Victoria discuss how to bridge the gap between corporate and hourly employees, why 72% of frontline workers don't understand company strategy, and how leaders can close that gap through listening, technology, and culture change. You'll also hear insights on AI's role in communication, manager overload, the importance of in-person connection, and how organizations can transform frontline workers into powerful brand ambassadors.

In this episode we're joined by Carissa Youssef who is the Executive Director at One Day's Wages.

Do you ever feel like all the business advice out there was written for people who don't have kids? In this episode, I sit down with marketing strategist and founder of This Mother Means Business, Laura Sinclair, to talk about what it really looks like to build a thriving business as a mom without burning out or sacrificing your family in the process. Laura shares the truth about why most business advice simply doesn't fit the realities of motherhood, and why finding mentors who get your season of life is a total game-changer. Together, we unpack the myths of "hustle culture," discuss the importance of redefining success, and explore how moms can grow profitable businesses on their own terms. If you've ever felt like you're falling behind or trying to keep up with people living in a completely different reality, this episode will remind you that you're not alone — and that success as a mom and entrepreneur is absolutely possible. Episode Timeline: [2:22] – Why moms need mentors who actually understand the realities of motherhood and entrepreneurship. [6:37] – The empathy gap: what non-parents often miss when advising mom business owners. [10:12] – Three personal experiences that shaped Laura's mission to support entrepreneurial moms. [20:10] – The myth of "keeping up" and why moms must stop comparing their pace to others. [27:18] – Rethinking what success means: ambition, money, and motherhood in harmony. [42:37] – Inside This Mother Means Business: a community built for moms who want both family and financial freedom. Top 5 Quotes: "Nobody understands what it's like to be a mom entrepreneur unless you're a mom entrepreneur." "When people get spicy about it, they're just proving my point. You can't understand what you haven't lived." "When my time comes, I really hope that it's not like, 'Wow, Laura really made a lot of money and she was really thin.' Those are not the things that I hope my children say about me." "It's not about doing it all; it's about having it all, in the way that works for you." "We put ourselves in races against people who don't even know that they've signed up for a race. Motherhood and business aren't competitions." Links & Resources:

Milk has long been sold as the key to strong bones, but research challenges that claim: many people don't tolerate dairy, calcium needs are lower than advertised, and higher milk intake doesn't necessarily prevent fractures. Politics and industry marketing helped set “three glasses a day,” even though healthy bones depend more on overall diet and lifestyle—things like vitamin D, movement, and avoiding soda, excess sugar, and stress that drive calcium loss. Dairy may be helpful for some diets, but it can also trigger bloating, acne, congestion, or digestive issues. The good news is that strong bones and good nutrition are still very doable without cow's milk—think leafy greens, sardines, almonds, chia, and sunshine for vitamin D. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why bone health depends more on diet, lifestyle, and nutrient balance than on dairy. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He co-directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center and founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, one of the nation's largest clinics for children with obesity. For over 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied how diet composition affects metabolism, body weight, and chronic disease risk, focusing on low glycemic index, low-carbohydrate, and ketogenic diets. Called an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, he has championed policy changes to improve the food environment. A Principal Investigator on numerous NIH and philanthropic grants, Dr. Ludwig has published over 200 scientific articles and three books for the public, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Always, Hungry? Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.
