Anecdotal stories suggesting that weight-loss drugs can help people shake long-standing addictions have been spreading fast in the past few years, through online forums, weight-loss clinics and news headlines. And now, clinical data are starting to back them up.Over a dozen randomized clinical studies testing whether GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic can suppress addiction are now under way, and neuroscientists are working out how these weight-loss drugs act on brain regions that control craving, reward and motivation.Scientists warn that the research is still in its early stages, but some researchers and physicians are excited, as no truly new class of addiction medicine has won approval from regulators in decades.This is an audio version of our Feature: Will blockbuster obesity drugs revolutionize addiction treatment?

Send us a textWhat if the real estate edge isn't more screens—but fewer? We sit down with a split panel—two cautious advocates and two skeptics—to unpack how AI is already transforming real estate and mortgage lending, where it speeds up the boring parts and where it threatens the human moments that matter most. The conversation is candid and specific: lead gen bots that qualify after hours, instant content and listing copy, virtual staging, floor plans, predictive analytics, and automated valuations that demand a pro's eye for local nuance.On the mortgage side, we get into the guts of the process: AI flagging deposits in bank statements, prepping condition lists, scanning tax returns, and compressing timelines from application to underwriting. We name the roles at highest risk—transaction coordinators, processors, junior underwriters, call center intake—and the ones that gain leverage: senior underwriters, top agents, and loan officers who can explain tradeoffs, manage fear two days before closing, and negotiate under pressure. The takeaway is sharp: AI won't replace great professionals; it will expose average ones.We also push into the uncomfortable truths. Some clients want kiosk-like speed; others crave voice and eye contact. Winning teams will offer both: a screenless, low-friction path for routine steps, paired with human judgment when the stakes spike. Then we zoom out. Data centers gulp energy; our grid isn't ready. Ethics get messy: deepfake avatars, surveillance creep, and AI-written schoolwork. Detection is improving, but responsibility and skill still matter. The practical advice lands here: adopt AI to automate research and follow-up, protect time for client conversations, and sharpen the defensible skills—local expertise, empathy, and negotiation—that set you apart.If your role is exposed, become the person who masters the tools and teaches the team. Keep the mirror test: did you get better today?

Big construction projects in the U.S. are notoriously unpredictable, often finishing over budget and behind schedule. Part of the problem is the inherent complexity of these kinds of projects, like data centers and first-of-a-kind plants. But there's another problem: the companies that actually build these projects — called EPC firms for engineering, procurement, and construction — often lack strong incentives to control costs or deliver on time. That's the thesis behind Unlimited Industries, a new startup focused on using AI to develop multiple project designs upfront and reduce project risks. So what would it take to actually cut costs and shorten construction timelines? In this episode, Shayle talks to Alex Modon, co-founder and CEO of Unlimited Industries. The company recently announced a $12 million fundraise as it emerged from stealth. Shayle and Alex cover topics like: How EPC incentives and contract structures drive cost overruns Why bespoke projects prevent learning and standardization The role software and AI can play in design and risk reduction EPC Managing risks – including geopolitics, contractor reliability, and supply chains Resources: Catalyst: FOAK tales The Green Blueprint: Shortening the nuclear development cycle from decades to years Catalyst: The cost of nuclear Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

The Department of Heath and Human Services has been leaning into the use of artificial intelligence to drive better health outcomes for the American public, highlighted by the rollout of ChatGPT across the agency early this fall. In particular, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been a leader in generative AI adoption since 2023. And Travis Hoppe, CDC's chief AI officer, believes AI innovation can continue to move the needle on public health operations. Hoppe joined me recently onstage at FedTalks to share the latest on CDC's AI journey, how the Trump administration's AI Action Plan is guiding the agency's implementation and what's next. The National Nuclear Security Administration is looking for information on potential AI uses for its mission, following an executive order to establish an integrated AI platform that will fuel scientific discovery. In a request for information posted to SAM.gov on Monday, the Department of Energy subcomponent that oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile said it's exploring the use of the budding technology, and specifically requested information about its use in classified environments, best practices for data curation, and how to approach developing and enhancing AI models, among other things. The request comes just a week after the Trump administration launched the “Genesis Mission,” aimed at scientific discovery through AI. That effort will not only create an AI platform for such discovery, but it will also depend on the country's existing research and development infrastructure, including DOE and its national labs. To further the Genesis program, NNSA said it's proactively exploring the use of AI for its “critical operations to accelerate nuclear weapons development timelines, ensuring our deterrent remains responsive, effective, and state-of-the-art against evolving global threats.” Software company SAP inked a new agreement with the General Services Administration to offer federal agencies access to its services at significantly discounted rates, deepening its longstanding partnership with the federal government. The GSA announced the OneGov deal Tuesday, stating that the agreement offers up to 80 percent discounts on SAP's database, cloud, and analytics services. The agency estimated this will lead to $165 million in savings for federal agencies. Specifically, agencies will be able to access products related to SAP's database and data management services with an 80 percent discount. SAP's cloud services, including SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Analytics Cloud and HR Payroll, will be offered at a 35 percent discount, GSA said.

We were all taught how to eat and move and exist in our bodies. The “shoulds” that you learn from your parents, diet/wellness/fitness culture, magazines, media, movies, family and friends can keep your nervous system stuck in a sympathetic response.When you live in chronic stress or survival states, your system prioritizes safety over sensation. That means you may default to habits that feel familiar and not ones that feel nourishing. You may be engaging in “healthy” acts and feel absolutely horrible because they are not what your body may resonate with or need.Yet, let's normalize that following rigid food or exercise rules can feel stabilizing. This is because they reduce uncertainty. Safety can then get connected to the felt sense of rigidity, where all other feedback from your body about what it needs for flow, play, and long term safety gets drowned out.Exploring what would feel best to you and your present day body can be a journey into self leadership. In this week's episode, I chat with Courtney Townley, health and self-leadership coach, speaker, host of the top-rated Grace & Grit podcast, and author about: Her 4-part Consistency Code frameworkSelf leadershipThe misconceptions of self care and wellnessThe impact of societal expectations on womenNavigating stressPractical steps toward self leadershipYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: www.stephaniemara.com/blog/revolutionize-your-health8 days left to get 30% off my Somatic Eating® Intensive!

Welcome back to Ozempic Weight Loss Unlocked, the show where we break down the latest developments in weight loss medications and what they mean for your health. I'm your host, and today we're diving into some exciting new data and industry shifts that you need to hear about.Let's start with what's happening right now in the weight loss medication world. A recent systematic review of over forty thousand adults found that semaglutide and tirzepatide significantly outperform older medications in achieving meaningful weight loss. In clinical trials, semaglutide resulted in a fourteen point nine percent reduction in body weight over sixty eight weeks, while tirzepatide led to a twenty point nine percent reduction. That's substantial progress compared to earlier options like liraglutide, which delivered only four to five percent weight loss.But here's something important our listeners need to understand: clinical trial results don't always match real world outcomes. When researchers looked at actual users after one year, those taking semaglutide lost seven point seven percent of their body weight, and those on tirzepatide lost twelve point four percent. Why the difference? About fifty percent of patients discontinued treatment during that first year, and eighty percent took lower dosages than prescribed.Speaking of usage, the numbers are staggering. Approximately one in eight American adults, or around twelve percent, have used a glucagon like peptide one medication at some point. Among people diagnosed with diabetes, that number jumps to forty three percent. The average age of users in the United Kingdom is forty four years old, with people aged forty to fifty nine making up more than half of all users.Now let's talk money, because cost remains a major barrier. The monthly out of pocket cost for Ozempic in the United States can reach as high as twelve hundred dollars for uninsured individuals. This pricing has created a competitive marketplace. In November twenty twenty five, Pfizer won a bidding war with Novo Nordisk to acquire obesity drug developer Metsera, giving them injectable and oral glucagon like peptide one candidates expected to enter clinical trials soon.But there's even more competition coming. Research indicates that several pharmaceutical companies including AstraZeneca, Zealand Pharma, Roche, and Amgen are expected to enter the glucagon like peptide one market with multiple drug launches planned between twenty twenty seven and twenty thirty two.Interestingly, a new alternative is emerging. A medication called eloralintide, which targets a different hormone called amylin instead of glucagon like peptide one, showed promising results. In a phase two clinical trial with two hundred sixty three participants, those receiving eloralintide experienced average weight loss between nine and twenty percent after forty eight weeks, compared to only zero point four percent in the placebo group. Up to ninety percent of participants on eloralintide improved by at least one body mass index category, and the study showed improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors including waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood sugar management.Our listeners should know that not everyone responds equally to these medications. Past studies show that as much as seventeen percent of glucagon like peptide one users may be non responders to the medication. This is why having multiple treatment options with different mechanisms of action matters so much.One final note worth mentioning: the rise in glucagon like peptide one use has sparked increased demand for cosmetic surgeries to remove loose skin following significant weight loss. Procedures like arm lifts, thigh lifts, and tummy tucks have all seen increased demand.Thank you so much for tuning in to Ozempic Weight Loss Unlocked.

Hello to you listening in Sayville, New York!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.The other day I was talking with my longtime friends, colleagues and brainstormers, Tania and Leanne, about times when we set out to achieve X but an unintended, better-than-expected Y happened. You know what I mean: the mystery of unintended consequences that turns out to be amazing!Here's one: The Scottish biologist Alexander Fleming was working on a project on Staphylococcus bacteria at St. Mary's Hospital in London. He took off on vacation leaving behind an uncovered petri dish of bacteria. When he returned he saw a blue-green mold (like what you might find growing on bread exposed to moisture) growing on the dish and that the Staph bacteria were being killed in the area of the mold. Fleming - knowing a good thing when he saw one - identified the mold as the fungus penicillin notatum, and Shazaam! developed penicillin as an antibiotic. Fleming's unintended discovery of penicillin revolutionized the treatment of infections.Click HERE to learn more about the Discovery and Development of Penicillin 1928-1945Now, as to the moldy bread in your kitchen. Yes, penicillin is an antibiotic produced by a fungus called Penicillium notatum. Yes, this fungus is commonly found on moldy bread. Yes, when the fungus grows on bread, it releases penicillin into the surrounding environment.Let me caution you! Not all moldy bread contains penicillin. Moreover, eating moldy bread is a very big “No! No!” as it can contain harmful substances. Having said that think twice before you toss out what might be an unintended answer to a problem. Question: When did you set out to achieve X but an unintended Y turned out to be what you were looking for? What happened next?You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In the past week, breakthrough developments surrounding Ozempic and its use for weight loss have dominated health news, reflecting sweeping changes in both medical access and public perception. According to Popular Mechanics, Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical giant behind Ozempic and the similar injectable Wegovy, has just revealed the results of a major 71-week clinical study evaluating an oral pill form of semaglutide, the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. This study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the daily pill achieved nearly the same results as the weekly injection, with participants losing an average of 16.6 percent of their body weight, far surpassing the 2.7 percent weight loss seen in the placebo group. About one third of those taking the pill lost more than 20 percent of their starting weight, signaling not just statistical significance but profound clinical impact. The trial also reported side effects consistent with earlier injectable versions, including increased incidences of nausea and vomiting, though these were not severe enough to derail the optimism surrounding the pill's future.Compounding these scientific advancements, the White House this week announced successful negotiations with both Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to dramatically reduce the cost of GLP-1 receptor agonists—the drug class of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound—which many insurance providers had previously excluded or charged full price for. Now, eligible patients may see their out-of-pocket costs plummet from over one thousand dollars per month to a much more accessible fifty to three hundred fifty dollars depending on dosage and coverage. According to comments from Kim Fisher at the UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health, these price adjustments are expected to drive a swift increase in demand and medication use, with around one in eight adult Americans having already tried some form of GLP-1 therapy.Despite the popularity and transformative outcomes touted by both consumers and medical professionals, Ozempic and related drugs are not without controversy. While these medications have reshaped the landscape for obesity and diabetes treatment, as UC Davis reports, emerging evidence indicates a need for caution and individualized care. Some patients experience notable gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and diarrhea, largely because GLP-1 drugs alter how the gut processes food and signal fullness to the brain. In addition, while fat loss can be dramatic, experts highlight that up to one quarter of the total weight lost may be from lean muscle, underscoring the importance of physical activity and adequate protein to preserve strength. Another concern echoed this week involves bone health, as rapid weight loss and restricted nutrition may inadvertently reduce bone density, especially in older adults and postmenopausal women. Leading researchers emphasize that a successful and safe weight loss journey with Ozempic demands precision nutrition, attentive exercise regimens, and regular monitoring to minimize health risks and maximize wellbeing.The intersection of celebrity culture with the Ozempic phenomenon also drew fresh attention over the past week, especially regarding Oprah Winfrey's evolving relationship with the drug. Oprah, who has long shared her struggles with weight publicly, admitted in recent interviews that she initially resisted taking Ozempic, saying she felt it was the easy way out and preferred to focus on lifestyle change. According to AOL, she reflected on her internal conflict about using medical intervention for weight loss, underscoring how the rise of drugs like Ozempic has forced a cultural reckoning over what constitutes effort, discipline, and legitimacy in personal health. While some celebrity peers openly dismiss rumors or deny any use of weight loss drugs, Oprah's decision to speak candidly about her hesitation and subsequent experiences gives voice to a wider conversation happening both in Hollywood and across the nation. As more public figures reveal their choices, the stigma of using medication to address chronic weight struggles may begin to dissipate, helping others seek support without shame.In summary, the past week has marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing Ozempic story. The introduction of a highly effective oral pill, substantial price cuts via government negotiation, and ongoing public debate about safety, efficacy, and cultural perceptions have all contributed to growing momentum. Now, as clinicians and patients alike look ahead to a future where advanced weight management tools are both more accessible and potentially safer to use, the importance of personalized guidance and health literacy has never been clearer.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Takeaways Dr. Renzulli's early inspiration for healthcare came from witnessing a life-saving moment. His journey led him to explore holistic approaches after observing disillusionment in traditional doctors. Red light therapy emerged as a significant tool in his practice, offering innovative health solutions. The design and proximity of red light beds are crucial for effective treatment outcomes. Different wavelengths of light have varying effects on the body, from skin rejuvenation to deeper tissue healing. Red light therapy can enhance ATP production and reduce oxidative stress. Integrating red light therapy with other treatments can improve metabolic health and energy levels. Obesity is a growing epidemic, and red light therapy can play a role in weight loss. The technology behind red light therapy is backed by numerous studies and evidence-based results. Patients experience significant improvements in health and well-being through these innovative therapies. Patients are increasingly seeking root cause solutions rather than just symptom management. Precision medicine offers real hope and tangible results for patients. Weight loss strategies must focus on detoxification and cellular health. Inflammation is a key factor in weight gain and insulin resistance. A systematic approach to health can yield better outcomes than isolated treatments. Body composition is a more important metric than weight alone. GLP-1 medications can have adverse effects on muscle and bone density. Fasting can be beneficial if done correctly, focusing on fat loss rather than muscle loss. Precision medicine requires a deep understanding of individual genetics and biology. A comprehensive approach to health includes monitoring thyroid function and metabolic rates.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of pivotal changes and innovations shaping the industry landscape.Let's begin with a significant acquisition that is resonating across the sector. Alkermes has strategically acquired Avadel Pharmaceuticals for a noteworthy $2.1 billion. This acquisition is primarily aimed at Avadel's long-acting narcolepsy drug, Lumryz. This move not only acts as a growth catalyst for Alkermes but also strategically positions the company to potentially advance its own narcolepsy candidate, Alixorexton. This acquisition highlights a broader trend within the industry: a shift towards consolidation and specialization in niche therapeutic areas, reflecting the ongoing strategic maneuvering within the pharmaceutical sector to enhance therapeutic portfolios.In regulatory developments, there is an ongoing discussion around FDA cancer drug policies that's gaining attention. Eli Lilly's Oncology President has highlighted the need for clearer regulatory pathways. The debate revolves around whether to prioritize survival metrics without crossover incentives or encourage U.S. participation through crossover designs. This underscores a tension between maintaining regulatory rigor and offering flexibility in clinical trial design—a balance that impacts how quickly new oncology therapies can reach patients.Turning to international trade, there are significant movements as the Trump administration initiates a probe under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The aim is to assess if foreign nations are contributing their fair share to drug costs. Such an investigation could lead to tariffs, potentially altering global pharmaceutical trade dynamics and influencing international pricing strategies. Reports suggest that former President Donald Trump is exploring strategies to impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners not adequately compensating for pharmaceuticals, reflecting ongoing tensions regarding international drug pricing.Technology is revolutionizing life sciences commercialization strategies, with AI playing a pivotal role. Despite many organizations not being fully prepared for this digital shift, companies like Real Chemistry are pioneering AI applications to navigate regulatory complexities such as FDA marketing compliance. This digital transformation is set to redefine how pharmaceutical companies engage with patients and healthcare providers, enhancing efficiency and compliance.In legal news, Regeneron has settled a patent dispute with Celltrion over Eylea, allowing for the launch of a biosimilar by the end of 2026. This settlement is part of the growing biosimilars market, which offers cost-effective alternatives to high-priced biologics and enhances patient access to essential therapies.The industry's focus on oncology is further exemplified by Takeda's $1.2 billion upfront payment to Innovent Biologics for cancer assets. This deal includes substantial milestone payments, marking oncology as a key growth area post-Entyvio era and highlighting the high stakes associated with breakthrough cancer therapies. Continuing with significant industry maneuvers, Takeda Pharmaceuticals has announced a potential investment up to $11.4 billion to acquire three antibody-drug conjugates from Innovent Biologics. This deal includes an upfront payment of $1.2 billion and up to $10.2 billion in milestone payments—highlighting Takeda's commitment to expanding its oncology portfolio with innovative therapies that promise enhanced treatment outcomes for cancer patients.Ipsen's acquisition of ImCheck Therapeutics for $1.6 billion further emphasizes this focus on novel cancer treatments. The move includes ImCheck's mid-stage leukemia monoclonal antibody ICT01—an asset aimed at acute myeloid leukemia—indicating Ipsen's strategic push intSupport the show

Maximizing the Potential of CRMs: Harnessing AI, Innovation, and Conferences to Revolutionize the Automotive Industry Key Takeaways The automotive industry is not limited by a lack of technology but by its proper utilization and management. The upcoming Digital Dealer conference promises to revitalize and refocus learning and networking opportunities, featuring a new format aimed at more practical engagement. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative possibilities, yet many current solutions overlook critical integrations and real-world dealership problems. The Underutilization of Automotive CRM Systems For decades, the automotive industry has struggled not with a lack of technology but with effectively utilizing the technology it already possesses. Sean V. Bradley, a renowned expert in automotive sales, makes no bones about this: "Our industry has never had a deficiency of technology. Our industry has a deficiency to proper utilization." With 90% of all Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems not being set up or managed correctly, it's evident that the problem isn't technological capability but strategic implementation. CRMs should be the backbone of any dealership, providing a 360-degree view of customers, and leveraging data for both sales and service. Yet, the potential of these systems is frequently left untapped. As dealerships continue to struggle with lower sales numbers post-pandemic, the conversation pivots not just toward adopting new technology, but ensuring the mastery of what's already available. Bradley adds, "If we're not understanding it and we're not utilizing it, all we're doing is shuffling the deck." The implications of this are profound: for dealerships to remain competitive, they must move beyond merely possessing tools to mastering them. This means in-depth training, cross-departmental integration, and reevaluating the traditional dealership roles to foster a tech-centric culture that thrives on data-driven decision-making. Revamping the Digital Dealer Conference for Future Success In response to fluctuating attendance and shifting industry needs, the Digital Dealer conference has decided on a seismic reformation. In its previous iterations, feedback highlighted challenges with overcrowded vendor spaces and less focus on value. As Jake Hales, a digital operations expert and advisory board member for Digital Dealer, notes, the shift aims to address these concerns head-on with an upgraded format. "We need to have more workshops," Hales explains. The conference will transition into a dynamic hub of activity, featuring TEDx-style sessions for high-level insights and deeper, hands-on workshops for applied learning. This bifurcated approach allows for more intensive engagement on practical issues, breaking away from the traditional passive learning structure. "The challenge of having hour-long sessions is you do end up getting into minutiae," Hales states. With the introduction of compressed 25-minute TEDx sessions, speakers are encouraged to distill critical insights into compelling, actionable narratives. Complementing these are extended workshops where attendees can "get into the weeds," fostering a collaborative environment designed to dive deep into solutions for current dealership challenges. The Promise and Pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence in Automotive Artificial Intelligence is hailed as a transformative force ready to revolutionize automotive sales and operations. However, both Bradley and Hales offer a word of caution: between the promise and delivery of AI lies a gulf that only purpose-driven integration can bridge. "The magic sauce hasn't come out yet," Hales asserts, with many AI applications failing to address real dealership needs. Bradley elaborates, emphasizing the noise in the market: "There's all these fugazi AI companies… either don't have Internet integration, they don't have funding, or they're just batshit crazy." To navigate this landscape, dealerships must sift through these options, hone in on solutions that offer genuine integrative benefits, and take advantage of AI capabilities across CRM systems, predictive modeling, and customer engagement. There is significant potential for AI to handle repetitive and time-consuming tasks, thereby freeing up human resources for roles that require nuanced decision-making and relationship-building. As Hales points out, AI can ameliorate the juggling act performed by overstretched managers. Translating customer interactions through multilanguage support, for example, can help unlock underserved markets. Yet the broader adoption of AI will succeed only if anchored in realistic, performance-enhancing applications tailored to dealership exigencies. By engaging more deeply with AI tools and formats that prioritize education and partnership over exploitation, the automotive industry can transcend current inefficiencies, cultivating a more informed, agile, and customer-centric ethos that distinguishes the leaders from the laggards. Nurturing Growth Through Networking and Engagement Undoubtedly, one of the key pillars for advancing within an evolving field such as automotive sales is networking—an undertaking the industry hardly emphasizes beyond simple introductions. Conferences like Digital Dealer are excellent avenues for fostering these connections, providing invaluable face-time with peers and industry leaders. These interactions offer unforeseen insights that even profound technological acumen might overlook. "You're not going to send any of these folks back to school," Hales articulates, noting the practical limitations that educational programs face. His assertion dovetails seamlessly with observations made by others on the importance of dealer collaboration, not only for shared learning but for driving collective progress. Bradley points out, "It's being in the know," emphasizing that much of a conference's value lies in stripping away feelings of isolation by exposing shared challenges and innovative responses. Setting the stage for engagement at the fringes of formal sessions allows meaningful discourse to flourish—nurturing growth and acting as a backbone for individual and team success. Real-world applications and success stories are brought to the forefront, transforming simple education into actionable strategy. Dealer culture, intrinsically rooted in kinesthetic, hands-on modalities, thrives on involvement rather than observation.

In this 2024 fireside chat I share my advice to companies who are looking to bring common sense back into their marketing strategies. Too many companies get scared of taking risks and go back to what's tried and true. I also share my two cents about the importance of the creative and why it is the variable of any marketing conversation. A winning strategy is going consumer up, not boardroom down. It's all about trying new things in your day-to-day advertising and letting the intelligence of AI bring your ads to the right audience!

On the latest episode of the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer talks with world-renowned cancer researcher and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee about the future of medicine—and why artificial intelligence might finally tip the scales in the decades-long war on cancer.Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the US, killing nearly 1,700 people every day. But Mukherjee says AI is already reshaping the field, from radiology and diagnostics to identifying new carcinogens and designing entirely new cancer drugs. “Every time we do this in collaboration with a machine,” he explains, “the machine learns it, and it learns it forever.”In a wide-ranging conversation, Mukherjee breaks down three major areas where AI is advancing medicine: patient care, data mining, and generative drug development. He also weighs in on early cancer detection, how inflammation may hold the key to understanding new carcinogens, and why this moment may be the most hopeful in half a century of cancer research.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Siddhartha Mukherjee Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
In this compelling episode of *American Potential*, host David From sits down with Kayla Frank and Echo Kopplin, two dedicated physician associates from South Dakota who led the charge to pass a groundbreaking bill removing the requirement for physician oversight in PA practice. They share the years of perseverance, grassroots advocacy, and strategic relationship-building that finally broke down regulatory red tape, enabling PAs to practice with greater autonomy and flexibility. The conversation dives deep into the challenges they faced within a complex political environment and how they maintained a positive, patient-focused message to overcome opposition. Kayla and Echo also explore the broader impact of this legislation on healthcare access, especially in rural and underserved areas of South Dakota, where physician shortages make autonomous PA practice vital. They discuss how the change levels the playing field with nurse practitioners, reduces administrative burdens, and allows healthcare teams to better tailor their models to local community needs. This episode offers a powerful example of American grassroots advocacy in action and highlights how removing unnecessary barriers can expand healthcare access and improve outcomes for all.
