In this episode, Dr. Ruscio, Dr. Jake Vonfeldt, and Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi discuss common parasites like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Blastocystis, pinworms, and helminths, why standard testing can miss them, and how clinical history can help determine when parasites deserve closer consideration. They also share both natural and pharmaceutical parasite protocols, along with practical guidance on when each approach may be appropriate.   ✅Start healing with us!

The March 2026 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia made a major pivot regarding Lipoprotein(a) by establishing a formal recommendation for universal screening in adults. This 2026 guideline, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, issued a Class 1 recommendation stating that every adult should have their Lp(a) measured at least once in their lifetime. Because Lp(a) levels are genetically determined and remain highly stable throughout a person's life, a single lifetime check is sufficient for the vast majority of the population to establish their baseline risk. Well, that's great for Family medicine or internal medicine, but how does that affect us in women's health? Well, it's complicated: lipoprotein(a) has been associated with an increased risk of VTE and has also been associated, in some studies, with FGR, preeclampsia, and preterm birth! So, can these patients receive oral contraceptives? What about Perioperative and postop care? Do these patients require anticoagulation? What about pregnancy- is LDA recommended here? And lastly, what about TXA use in patients with HMB? This podcast topic comes from one of our podcast family members who is an OBGYN military personnel caring for our wonderful troops overseas.

Heart disease is not only a man's disease. It is the number one killer of women, responsible for ten times more deaths than breast cancer. And yet most women have never had a real conversation about their cardiovascular risk, because the medical system was not built to catch it in them.Dr. Martha Gulati is the Director of Preventive Cardiology and Associate Director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai, Director of the Davis Women's Heart Center at Houston Methodist, and author of Saving Women's Hearts. Her own quote has become one of the most cited lines in women's cardiology: "Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but lack of awareness is a close second."This conversation goes into how the female heart develops disease differently, why women's symptoms get dismissed even when they use the words chest pain, and the pregnancy complications, hormonal history, and inflammatory conditions that quietly raise cardiovascular risk for decades before anything shows up on a standard panel.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women's health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan. Inside, you'll get access to exclusive protocols, live Q&As, the latest female longevity science, and a private, supportive community of like-minded women.⁠https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/female-longevity-community⁠If you're already paying attention to food, sleep, and overall health, cleaning products are another place where exposure adds up quickly.

Allergies have tripled - with hay fever, seasonal allergies, eczema and food intolerances now affecting millions of people. But why are allergy symptoms getting worse, and what does gut health have to do with it? In this episode, Adam Fox, a world-leading allergy Professor at King's College London, explains why allergies may be rising so fast, why many beliefs about allergies are wrong, and what new science reveals about your immune system, skin and gut. Professor Fox explores why some foods are more likely to trigger reactions, and why modern allergy science is increasingly focused on gut health. Adam also discusses why 90% of people told they are allergic to certain things may not actually be allergic, the difference between allergies and intolerances, and why some antihistamines may be doing you more harm than you realise. By the end of this episode, you will have some practical ways to manage hay fever and seasonal allergies, including which antihistamines experts now recommend avoiding, simple ways to reduce pollen exposure at home, and when allergy testing or desensitisation treatment may help. Adam explains how newer treatments are starting to retrain the immune system rather than simply suppress symptoms. If allergies barely existed a few hundred years ago, what changed? And could your gut now be shaping the way your immune system reacts to the world around you?

What if autism research has been asking too narrow a question?Sign up for weekly webinars: Weekly Webinars - Independent Medical Alliance Autism now affects an estimated 1 in 31 children in the United States, and families deserve honest answers about what may be driving that rise.In this episode of the IMA Weekly Show, Dr. Joseph Varon sits down with Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher for a discussion about a new review in the Journal of Independent Medicine examining the many factors that may contribute to autism spectrum disorder.The paper, “Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder,” looks beyond any single proposed cause and reviews potential contributors through a broad, multifactorial framework, including genetics, parental age, prematurity, maternal immune activation, environmental toxicants, gut-brain disruption, in utero drug exposures, developmental regression, and the cumulative pediatric vaccine schedule.The conversation covers:• Why autism research must account for timing, cumulative exposure, and biologic vulnerability• Why developmental regression is an important area for further study• What limitations the authors see in existing autism and vaccine-related research• Why the authors argue the full pediatric vaccine schedule has not been adequately studied• What a more rigorous future study would need to include• How physicians, parents, and policymakers can think more clearly about modifiable risk factorsDr. Joseph Varon is President and Chief Medical Officer of the Independent Medical Alliance. Dr. Peter McCullough is President of the McCullough Foundation. Nicolas Hulscher is an epidemiologist and administrator at the McCullough Foundation.This is a complex and emotional topic, but families deserve honest discussion, better data, and serious research.Watch now to hear the full discussion.First aired 13th May 2026Also:• Donate: https://imahealth.org/donate/• Follow: https://imahealth.org/contact/• Webinar: https://imahealth.org/category/weekly-webinars/• Treatment: https://imahealth.org/treatment-protocols/• Medical Disclaimer: https://imahealth.org/about/terms-and-conditions/About IMA (Formerly FLCCC Alliance)The Independent Medical Alliance™ is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization and coalition of physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals united by a mission to restore trust and transparency in healthcare.

In this episode of BackTable OBGYN, Dr. Kimberly Kho, a complex benign gynecologic surgeon, joins host Dr. Amy Park to discuss her work expanding access to women's healthcare, including building a surgical program in Hawaii, studying childcare as a barrier to care, and exploring the diagnosis and management of adenomyosis. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction08:35 - Faculty Development in Hawaii12:26 - Childcare as Access Barrier16:20 - Survey and Trial Findings18:10 - Annie's Place Childcare Center24:23 - Childcare Barrier Example25:43 - Applying Community Solutions 27:04 - What Is Adenomyosis30:22 - Diagnosis Strategies Beyond Hysterectomy34:07 - Risk Factors and Age Myths36:03 - Fertility and Pregnancy Risks38:02 - Medical and Surgical Treatments41:20 - Uterine Sparing Procedures45:59 - Closing Thoughts --- More about this episode Dr. Kho discusses her recent transition to the University of Hawaii, where she is building a complex benign gynecology program to serve patients across the state and broader Pacific region. Her work emphasizes faculty development through mentorship, strengthening research infrastructure for generalists, fostering inter-island collaboration, and implementing surgical coaching. She then reflects on her time at Parkland, where she expanded access to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, demonstrated by a significant reduction in open hysterectomy rates. She also shares how her team identified unmet childcare needs as a major barrier to care, leading to multiple research initiatives, a clinical trial, and ultimately the creation of a five-year, no-cost, onsite childcare center (Annie's Place) developed through hospital and community partnerships. The episode concludes with an in-depth discussion of adenomyosis, covering its pathophysiology, imaging-based diagnosis, common symptoms, and fertility implications. In the absence of formal guidelines or FDA-approved therapies, Dr. Kho reviews current management strategies, including medical therapy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and endometrial ablation techniques. --- Resources Childcare needs as a barrier to healthcare among women in a safety-net health systemhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38886715/ Addressing childcare as a barrier to healthcare access through community partnerships in a large public health systemhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36261213/ Adenomyosis Pathophysiology, Diagnostic Advances, and Therapeutic Optionshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41926770/ --- BackTable OBGYN is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.Download the free BackTable app to get early access to new episodes, cases, and courses curated by physicians in your specialty.► https://www.backtable.com/app

We've all seen it: the acute ACL patient who drags their leg into the clinic, unable to squeeze their quad to save their life. We call it Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), and for years, we've treated it as a stubborn, long-term enemy. But a fascinating new study from the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests we might be overcomplicating it.Researchers analyzed 300 acute ACL patients and found that while AMI is incredibly common (affecting over half of patients), it's also surprisingly fragile. In fact, they found that nearly 80% of cases could be fully reversed in a single session with simple exercises. In this episode, we dive into the 'Red Flags' that predict quad shutdown—including one common sleeping habit you need to ban immediately—and how to flip the switch back on for your patients.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/risk-factors-of-arthrogenic-muscle-inhibition----------ACL Rehab MasterclassMy new course on the complete guide to criteria-based ACL rehab testing in return to sport is almost here.  Sign up for the presale list for a huge VIP discount and to be notified first:https://mikereinold.com/acl Click Here to View My Online CoursesWant to learn more from me?

You'll often see in textbooks that alcohol is a major risk factor for oral cancer. They'll tell you that people who drink three to four drinks per day have about two to three times the risk, and with heavier drinking, that risk can go up to five times.  They'll also emphasize that when alcohol is combined with tobacco, the risk can increase up to 15 to 30 times.  But here's the thing—most of the time, they stop there. They tell you that it increases risk… but not really why.  So let's break that down, because once you understand the mechanism, it becomes much easier to remember—and much more meaningful in practice.  #1 dental hygiene boards review:

Episode 217: Testicular Cancer Dr. Arreaza: Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast. Today we are discussing testicular cancer, a topic that may not appear frequently in primary care but is extremely important to recognize early. We are joined by Brandon Noorvash and Dr. Ebenezer Dadzie. Please introduce yourselves. Brandon: Thank you, Dr. Arreaza. My name is Brandon Noorvash. I am a third-year medical student at Western University of Health Sciences with a strong interest in urology. Ebenezer: Thank you for having us. My name is Dr. Ebenezer Dadzie, and I am a PGY-1 resident in the Clinica Sierra Vista Family Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Arreaza: Testicular cancer represents about 1-2% of cancers in men, but it is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 40. The good news is that it is also one of the most curable cancers in medicine, especially when detected early. Let's start with a quick question for our listeners. If a 25-year-old man presents with a painless lump in his testicle, what diagnosis should immediately come to your mind? Ebenezer: Testicular cancer should always be high on the differential. While benign conditions can cause scrotal swelling, a painless testicular mass should be considered cancer until proven otherwise. Dr. Arreaza: I agree. Especially if we perform a physical exam and find that the mass is attached to the testicle. Why is this such an important diagnosis for primary care physicians to recognize, what do you think, Brandon? Brandon: Testicular cancer typically affects young, otherwise healthy men, and early detection dramatically improves outcomes. Patients may delay seeking care because the lump is painless or because they feel embarrassed discussing symptoms. However, when diagnosed early, the 5-year survival rate exceeds 95%, and in localized disease it approaches 99%. Dr. Arreaza: Exactly, the survival is incredible and it gets even better with early detection. How common is testicular cancer? Ebenezer: In the United States, approximately 10,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, with around 500 deaths annually. The relatively low mortality reflects how effective current treatments are, especially chemotherapy for germ cell tumors. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about risk factors. What should clinicians know about risk factors for testicular cancer? Who is at risk? Brandon: The most important risk factor is cryptorchidism, or undescended testicle. Men with a history of cryptorchidism have about a 4-to-8-fold increased risk of developing testicular cancer. Ebenezer: Other risk factors include family history, personal history of testicular cancer, infertility, testicular atrophy, and certain genetic conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome. However, many patients who develop testicular cancer have no clear risk factors. Dr. Arreaza: Brandon, you recently saw a patient with testicular cancer during your rotation. Can you briefly tell us about that case? Protected health information is not being revealed, so patient confidentiality is being respected during this discussion. Dr. Arreaza: I think we all were pleasantly surprised to know that lung metastasis did not place the patient in a higher risk category. On the other hand, nonpulmonary visceral metastases (such as liver, bone, or brain) define poor-risk disease in nonseminoma and intermediate-risk disease in seminoma.  Dr. Arreaza: And of course, if the patient presents with sudden severe pain, we should always think about testicular torsion, which is a surgical emergency. What should clinicians focus on during the physical exam? Ebenezer: Testicular tumors typically feel firm, irregular, non-tender, and located within the testicle itself. Brandon: A helpful exam pearl is transillumination. Fluid-filled structures like hydroceles will transilluminate, whereas solid tumors do not. Dr. Arreaza: I have to admit I've never done a transillumination in a scrotum before.  Brandon/Ebenezer: I've done it. I had to clean my pen light afterwards. Arreaza: Once you suspect testicular cancer, what is the next step in evaluation? Ebenezer: The first diagnostic test is a scrotal ultrasound. Ultrasound is highly sensitive and can determine whether the mass is intratesticular, which is highly suspicious for malignancy. Dr. Arreaza: US and tumor markers. Let's talk a bit more about tumor markers. Why are they useful in testicular cancer? Brandon: Tumor markers help with diagnosis, staging, and monitoring response to treatment. Ebenezer: Alpha-fetoprotein, or AFP, is typically elevated in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors, particularly yolk sac tumors. An important point is that pure seminomas do not produce AFP. Brandon: Beta-hCG can be elevated in both seminomas and non-seminomatous tumors, although the levels are often higher in the non-seminomatous types. Ebenezer: LDH is less specific but can reflect tumor burden and disease activity, so it's useful for monitoring progression or response to treatment. Dr. Arreaza: So, tumor markers are not only diagnostic tools, but they also help guide staging and follow-up care. That's an important board question. Why don't we perform a biopsy in a testicular mass?  Ebenezer: Testicular masses suspicious of cancer are not biopsied because biopsy can disrupt lymphatic drainage and potentially spread tumor cells. Instead, the standard treatment is radical inguinal orchiectomy, which both removes the tumor and establishes the diagnosis. Dr. Arreaza: Brandon, can you briefly explain the two main categories of testicular cancer? Brandon: Let's start with the germ cell tumors. They are broadly divided into seminomas and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT). Seminomas tend to grow more slowly and are highly sensitive to radiation therapy. Ebenezer: Non-seminomatous tumors include embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, choriocarcinoma, and teratoma. These tumors tend to be more aggressive but are still highly responsive to treatment. Dr. Arreaza: How are patients staged once the diagnosis is made? Ebenezer: Staging typically includes a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to evaluate for metastasis, especially to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, which are the most common site of spread. Dr. Arreaza: And how is testicular cancer managed? Brandon: The initial step is almost always radical inguinal orchiectomy. Depending on staging and tumor type, treatment may include active surveillance, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Ebenezer: One reason outcomes are so favorable is that germ cell tumors respond extremely well to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about prognosis. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Drs. Vakharia and Danzig highlight new AAO 2025 data on high-dose aflibercept, sleep apnea as a potential AMD risk factor, and an AI-guided anti-VEGF regimen that cuts injections while maintaining vision. Together, these advances point toward more personalized, efficient care for patients with neovascular AMD and DME.

As women, we're told our bodies are wrong almost from the moment we become aware of them—and that messaging hits hyperdrive when the body composition changes of menopause arrive. Those changes are often framed as urgent health risks, even when the picture is far more nuanced and the steps taken to “fix” them can carry risks of their own. This week we sit down with dietitian and public health nutrition specialist Diana Reid to dig into what actually drives midlife weight gain, what belly fat and BMI do (and don't) mean for your health, and where GLP-1 medications fit into the picture. We talk muscle and bone loss, under-fueling, weight regain, and how to protect your health if you choose to use weight loss medications.Diana Reid is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist licensed in both the United States and Luxembourg. She's originally from Seattle, but has been living in Europe since 2016. Diana has a masters degree in Public Health & Nutrition and specializes in nutritional counseling and support for patients with eating disorders; food allergies, intolerances and gut disorders; and the unique challenges related to women's health, especially during midlife and the menopause transition. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and follows a non-diet, weight-neutral approach to health and wellness, focusing on habit building, lifestyle behaviors and balanced nutrition. She believes in practicing with compassion, understanding, and a personalized approach to nutrition and well-being. Diana is a married midlife menopausal mom of three teens and a clingy dog, and loves cycling, weight lifting, hiking and traveling.

INVESTING INVOLVES RISK, INCLUDING POTENTIAL LOSS OF CAPITAL. SYLD: There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment goal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high-risk investments. The underlying holdings of the Funds may be leveraged, which will expose the holding to higher volatility and may accelerate the impact of any losses. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund's performance. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Narrowly focused funds typically exhibit higher volatility. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's episode, I sit down with entrepreneur Charles Yeomans, CEO of Atombeam Technologies, to talk about a real data bottleneck hiding in plain sight. We break down why most machine generated data never makes it through the network, how Atombeam's Nerpak software moves far more information without new hardware, and why that matters for defense, mobility, storage, and edge computing. Charles explains how shrinking data changes security and situational awareness, what this means for AI operating outside massive data centers, and why crowdfunding became the right path for backing a seasoned founder building infrastructure level technology.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explores the hidden dangers of cholesterol medications, revealing how statins can cause more harm than good. You'll learn how these common drugs may increase your risk of type 2 diabetes, muscle loss, and even dementia. Dr. Jockers discusses the vital role cholesterol plays in your body, particularly for brain health and hormone production. He explains why lowering cholesterol may not be the solution, and how focusing on inflammation can be far more beneficial for your heart health. The episode also covers practical alternatives to statins, like a blood sugar-stabilizing diet, intermittent fasting, and the importance of exercise. Dr. Jockers offers actionable insights to improve your overall health without relying on medications.
