What happens when yacht crew need help, but no one nearby can act fast enough?In this episode of UNCENSORED, host Marién Sarriera speaks with Devlin Cathey, founder of All Safe Yachting, about a crew safety system built to give yacht crew an immediate way to raise the alarm, capture evidence, and access support wherever they are in the world.All Safe Yachting began with the idea of a global panic button for crew, created in the wake of real tragedy and designed as a prevention tool as much as an emergency response system. Devlin explains how the platform works, including app-based panic alerts, wearable Bluetooth buttons, man-down detection, confidential reporting, wellbeing support, hours of rest tracking, and management dashboards.This conversation looks at the realities crew face on board and ashore: isolation, fear of reporting, lack of evidence, altered hours of rest, mental health pressure, and the need for systems that protect crew before a situation becomes critical.For crew, captains, owners, managers, and families, this is a practical conversation about safety, prevention, accountability, and giving people at sea another layer of protection when it matters most.Guest: Devlin CatheyCompany: All Safe Yachting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SUPPORTED BYMoore Dixon━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Moore Dixon provides global insurance support designed for yacht crew, including medical cover for emergencies, routine care, and practical protection when the unexpected happens.mdbl.imFacebook: @MDBLimitedLinkedIn: @moore-dixon-brokers

The parents of a young man who died in a drugs related incident are backing a law change that they believe could have saved their son Jacob's life. The Drug Overdose (Assistance Protection) Legislation Bill is currently being considered by the Health Committee, with submissions closing on Tuesday 16 June. If passed into law, this bill would legally protect those who call 111 for help. That protection would apply to the caller, the person needing help and anyone who stays at the scene to help. According to the Drug Foundation, similar laws overseas have reduced opioid overdose deaths by 10-15%. In Aotearoa that could mean 19-28 lives saved every year. Jacob's mum Shelley O'Dwyer joins Jesse alongside Drug Foundation Executive Director Sarah Helm.

Today, Lara sits down with Brenda McGaw, the founder and Executive Director of Shea-Lynn's Butterfly Effect—a St. Albert–based charity created in memory of her daughter, Shea-Lynn, and devoted to helping young people (and all of us) make safer choices on the road. What began as unimaginable loss has become a powerful mission rooted in one simple message: somebody loves you and wants you home safe. This episode is a little different than what we usually share. It's heavier—but it's also full of purpose. Brenda shares her story with honesty, courage, and a deep desire to turn grief into something that protects other families from the same heartbreak. We talk about the ripple effect of small decisions, and how something as routine as putting on a seat belt can change everything in seconds. Brenda's work is about awareness, not fear. Through school and community presentations, advocacy, and outreach, Shea-Lynn's Butterfly Effect helps youth and families understand the life-saving importance of buckling up—every time, the whole time—and making safer choices when driving or riding with friends. If you're a parent of a teen (or soon-to-be driver), this conversation will stay with you—for all the right reasons. It's an invitation to pause, to talk with your kids, and to remember that even the smallest habits can carry the biggest love.In today's episode, we cover:Brenda's story and how Shea-Lynn's legacy became a mission to protect others Why small “everyday” choices—like seat belts—can have lifelong consequences How to start meaningful conversations with teens about safety without triggering shutdownThe power of community education, advocacy, and youth engagement A reminder every young person needs to hear: somebody loves you and wants you home safe Meet our guest:Brenda McGaw is the founder and Executive Director of Shea-Lynn's Butterfly Effect, a registered not-for-profit based in St. Albert, Alberta, dedicated to increasing seat belt compliance through education, advocacy, and community engagement.Find more of Brenda's work / Shea-Lynn's Butterfly Effect Website (our story, programs, booking, ways to help): https://www.slbutterflyeffect.org/ Our Story: https://www.slbutterflyeffect.org/about Mission & team: https://www.slbutterflyeffect.org/mission Donate: https://www.slbutterflyeffect.org/donate-today Follow Parenting Ed-Ventures on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentingedventurespod/Learn more about Tutor Teach: https://tutorteach.ca/

Michael traces an unexpected through line from his very first talk radio show in 1993 — centered on a papal encyclical — to Pope Leo XIV's new warning about artificial intelligence and modern warfare. The Pope argues AI could make war easier to wage and harder to control, while supporters say AI-driven targeting may actually reduce civilian casualties and battlefield mistakes. Michael explores the ethical tension between technological precision and moral responsibility, including the growing role of autonomous systems, Palantir, and algorithmic warfare. Is AI removing dangerous human emotion from combat — or making conflict dangerously impersonal? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The American College of Physicians just dropped new guidelines and the radiology world is furious, not because the science is wrong, but because it isn't on their side.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter takes a deep dive into prostate cancer screening, explaining why advanced and metastatic diagnoses continue to rise despite the availability of screening tools, and what can be done to reverse this trend. He breaks down what PSA actually measures and why it is far more informative when tracked over time rather than interpreted as a single value, and he explores how tools like MRI, PSA density, PSA velocity, and improved biopsy techniques can both reduce unnecessary procedures and improve the detection of aggressive cancers. Peter also discusses the role of active surveillance in avoiding overtreatment for low-risk cases, examines the flawed evidence that has historically been used to argue against PSA screening, and highlights how medications like finasteride can suppress PSA levels and potentially mask warning signs if not properly accounted for. Ultimately, he makes a compelling case for the importance of regular PSA testing as a key strategy in the effort to eliminate prostate cancer mortality. We discuss: The failure of current prostate cancer screening guidelines, and the rise in advanced disease despite available tools [2:30]; PSA screening fundamentals: benefits, harms, and the guideline shift driven by overdiagnosis concerns [5:30]; The impact of reduced PSA screening: rising rates of late-stage prostate cancer and worsening population-level outcomes [12:00]; How modern screening practices use PSA trends, MRI, and new imaging advances to improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary procedures [15:00]; Advances in prostate biopsy: transperineal approach improves safety and cancer detection [23:00]; Reducing overtreatment: Gleason scoring and active surveillance in modern prostate cancer care [25:30]; Reevaluating PSA screening guidelines: how flaws in the PLCO trial undermine the evidence used to argue against PSA screening [29:45]; Prostate cancer screening today: improved tools, flawed guidelines, and preventable mortality [33:45]; How finasteride and similar drugs suppress PSA levels and can lead to missed or delayed prostate cancer diagnoses if not properly accounted for [38:00]; The optimistic future of prostate cancer: modern screening advances and the potential to reduce mortality [43:15]; and More.

A healthcare CEO once told former CDC Director, Dr. Tom Frieden, he had "a fiduciary responsibility not to provide good diabetes care" because the ROI takes 7 years and patients leave after 4. That's not a villain talking. That's our system working exactly as designed, without preventive medicine.Dr. Tom Frieden ran the CDC under President Obama, served as New York City Health Commissioner, and now leads Resolve to Save Lives, a global nonprofit working in 50+ countries. His new book, The Formula for Better Health, lays out why the U.S. spends $4.5 trillion a year on healthcare, gets the most basic things right less than half the time, and what it takes to fix it.You'll discover:✅ Why preventing heart attacks actually costs providers money, and the one system (Kaiser Permanente) where that's flipped✅ How 100 million Americans lack primary care, and why tripling primary care spending could reduce total Medicare costs✅ The "See, Believe, Create" formula that has already saved millions of lives globally✅ Why Dr. Frieden says "it is now malpractice not to care for a patient with an AI as part of the team"✅ The 7-1-7 accountability system now used by 50 countries to find and stop disease outbreaks✅ How a $5 copay on preventive medication measurably increases heart attacks and strokes✅ The six specific health measures Dr. Frieden says matter most (with exact target numbers)✅ Why misinformation is the most lethal health threat: "a fire hose of falsehoods driven by the monetization of misinformation"⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 A healthcare CEO's shocking confession about diabetes care0:45 Why the U.S. healthcare system is designed to fail2:10 Primary care: the most neglected piece of American healthcare4:28 Economic incentives that punish prevention6:43 Kaiser Permanente's capitation model and why it works9:44 CVS, concierge medicine, and halfway solutions13:20 Who can fix a system where no one is accountable?14:49 The "See, Believe, Create" formula explained19:08 Measles outbreaks and the misinformation crisis24:05 AI in healthcare: enormous potential, bad judgment34:18 What's happened to the CDC and vaccine infrastructure40:56 The 7-1-7 outbreak accountability system44:39 Why other countries get better results for less money47:39 The Big 6: personal health targets everyone should know53:11 Dr. Frieden's prescription for policymakers and healthcare leaders

In this Practitioner Spotlight, Dr. Dave Boyton—a Cincinnati-based functional medicine specialist—shares how he transformed his practice by integrating neurological assessment with functional medicine. After his wife was misdiagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions, Dr. Boynton dove deep into functional medicine and discovered what most practitioners miss: the neurological component.Dr. Boyton reveals why hypoglycemia isn't just "getting hangry"—it's frontal lobe dysfunction that sabotages healing. He explains why most functional medicine exams are inadequate, how he turned his intake into a "show and tell" experience that builds patient confidence, and why cookie-cutter protocols fail chronically ill patients.To become a Certified Functional Medicine practitioner, visit https://kharrazianinstitute.com/⁠.

Candace Lightner is the founder of MADD: Mothers Against Drunk Driving and We Save Lives, nationally and internationally recognized organizations reshaping America's response to drunk driving. After her 13-year-old daughter, Cari, was killed by a repeat drunk driver in 1980, Candace transformed unimaginable grief into a grassroots movement that has saved more than 600,000 lives and led to the passage of over 700 state and federal laws, including raising the drinking age to 21. Today, Candace shares how she turned heartbreak into bold action, why anger can be a catalyst instead of a curse, and what it takes to change laws and culture. She explains why words matter—it's not an "accident," it's a crash or a crime—and how ordinary people, especially grieving mothers, became powerful advocates nationwide. She also reveals how her work continues today through campaigns addressing drunk, drugged, and distracted driving, empowering passengers to speak up and pushing for accountability. My friends, if you've ever looked at injustice and thought, "Someone should do something," this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that one voice (your voice!) can spark change, and that grief and anger can be turned into impact.
