What if the biggest risks in maternal care are not just clinical, but cultural? We dig into the hard truth that speaking up can feel risky, pain during cesarean is often underestimated, and rare obstetric crises can overwhelm memory. From there, we chart a path toward safer births with practical tools that any team can use: psychological safety to unlock communication, structured pre‑briefs and rapid debriefs, and cognitive aids that turn chaos into coordinated action.We walk through the lived reality of intraoperative pain—why negative skin tests don't guarantee visceral coverage, how fear of general anesthesia can delay needed care, and the downstream consequences for bonding, breastfeeding, and mental health. You'll hear clear, patient‑centered steps: standard sensory assessment, explicit pain check‑ins, decisive treatment or conversion when indicated, and honest conversations that validate experience. The message is simple and urgent: pain is preventable harm, and timely action saves more than minutes—it protects families.Readiness matters beyond big hospitals. Rural teams face OB unit closures, low volumes, and limited resources. Mobile simulation and statewide programs show how to keep skills sharp for postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, and high‑risk transfers. We also highlight the Four Ps for anesthesia professionals—presence, preemption, proficiency, and platform—to embed safety into daily practice, from risk screening to standardized pathways. Finally, we extend the safety net into the community with sepsis bundles and accessible education so patients and their support networks recognize warning signs and act fast. Along the way, we touch on pediatric safety and emerging evidence that EEG‑guided anesthesia can reduce emergence delirium.If transforming maternal care speaks to you, join us.

Send us a textOf course, saving forests is good for the animals that live there and the environment. But saving forests where indigenous people live can have another surprising benefit. It can be good for the health of all of the people who live throughout the region, researchers have found.That benefit seems to come not just because forests are healthier ecosystems in general, but because indigenous people are good at taking care of them, a new study showed.Burning forests can cause heart disease, lung disease, skin conditions, and kill hundreds of thousands of people a year, according to numerous estimates. Destroying forests spreads out insects that carry malaria, yellow fever, and other infections that sicken and kill people.Dr. Júlia Rodrigues Barreto of the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo in Brazil; Dr. Ana Filipa Palmeirim of the Federal University of Pará, Brazil and Université Libre de Bruxelles; and colleagues wanted to see if protection of indigenous land had an effect on health.They looked at 20 years of data from the Amazon, which reaches into 9 South American countries and is the most biodiverse region on the planet.As with everything involving biology, the picture is complicated. But if at least 45 percent of the forest cover was preserved in an indigenous territory – an area preserved for the people who originally lived there – nearby areas reported fewer diseases caused by fires, as well as vector-borne diseases such as malaria that are spread by insects.They reported their findings in the journal Communications Earth and Environment. In this episode of One World, One Health, listen as they discuss what they found and what it could mean for everyone on the planet.

What happens when artificial intelligence meets the everyday heroes of local government? That's the question driving my conversation with Justin Dennis, co-founder and COO of Urban SDK, a geospatial AI company helping more than 250 North American cities make faster, safer, and smarter decisions. Justin shares how a Smart Cities Challenge from the U.S. Department of Transportation inspired him to co-found Urban SDK in 2018, and why he believes the future of public safety depends on replacing manual data collection with real-time intelligence. From traffic fatalities to hurricane recovery, he explains how the company's HALO platform gives local leaders and emergency responders the insights they need to act before crises escalate. In a single platform, they can identify dangerous road zones, predict high-risk intersections, coordinate clean-up operations, and rebuild infrastructure based on data rather than guesswork. We also explore how AI is quietly reshaping government operations, from disaster management to traffic enforcement. Justin discusses the challenges of introducing cutting-edge technology into systems that still rely on spreadsheets and siloed workflows. Yet his optimism is clear. He believes governments are beginning to embrace AI not as a buzzword but as a practical tool to save time, resources, and lives. As one Florida community recently reported a 40 percent drop in traffic fatalities, the impact is already measurable. Urban SDK's story is about technology meeting public service with purpose. So as we enter another year of rapid AI progress, how can data-driven insights continue to empower local leaders to protect citizens and improve quality of life? And what could your city achieve if every decision were powered by real-time intelligence? Share your thoughts after the episode.

What really happens when you stand or sit up straight? More than you think. Posture affects your body and your mind in surprising ways. This episode begins with the science-backed benefits of tuning in to your posture. Source: https://www.medicaldaily.com/pulse/why-you-should-stand-straight-benefits-good-posture-345598 What's most likely to kill you—and what can you actually do about it? That's the urgent and practical question we explore with Dr. Tom Frieden, former Director of the CDC under President Obama and now CEO of Resolve to Save Lives. Dr. Frieden shares the latest science on the biggest threats to your health and longevity, and the powerful steps you can take to dramatically improve your odds. He's also the author of The Formula for Better Health: How to Save Millions of Lives—Including Your Own (https://amzn.to/4gqvMSN). Why do we treat pets, stuffed animals, and even our cars as if they were human? Anthropomorphism—projecting human qualities onto non-human things—happens across every culture on earth. But why do we do it? Is there an upside? Can it cause harm? My guest Justin Gregg, senior research associate with the Dolphin Communication Project and adjunct professor at St. Francis Xavier University, unpacks the fascinating psychology behind this universal human trait. He's also the author of Humanish: What Talking to Your Cat or Naming Your Car Reveals About the Uniquely Human Need to Humanize (https://amzn.to/4miASSg). And finally—why are we so easy to scam? Almost everyone has been tricked or swindled at some point - even the smartest among us has fallen for a clever con. We'll look at why that is, and what it reveals about the way our minds work. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/201109/the-5-reasons-we-get-suckered-and-ripped-off PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

State Representative Mike Harris of Waterford, Michigan, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss his new “Stop the Bleed” legislation. The law updates Michigan's Good Samaritan protections to cover anyone using life-saving blood control techniques, like pressure and tourniquets, during emergencies. Harris also explains how the bill integrates a Stop the Bleed curriculum into school health and safety courses, giving students the skills to act quickly and save lives when every second counts.

 Trump picked RFK Jr. to take over the Department of Health and Human Services, and chaos has ensued. So far, RFK Jr. is ignoring the advice of experts and bringing along his cronies to push vaccine skepticism. It could have a devastating impact on the health of Americans for years to come. We're joined by Former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden, who currently heads global health organization Resolve to Save Lives, and MSNBC senior enterprise reporter Brandy Zadrozny, who has covered RFK Jr. for over a decade. Together we discuss the dangers that RFK Jr. poses to Americans' health and how the “MAHA” movement is NOT making America healthy again. We also talk through Trump and RFK Jr.'s latest announcement declaring Tylenol a contributing factor in the rise of autism, despite numerous studies saying otherwise.

"In this emotional and eye-opening interview, we sit down with Shmulie Hartstein, the founder of B'Sefer Chayim, an urgent initiative born out of heartbreak and driven by love. After witnessing the repeated devastation of families who lost a parent without life insurance, Shmulie decided enough was enough.With raw honesty, he shares the story that led him to launch B'Sefer Chayim—an awareness campaign dedicated to ensuring that no Jewish family ever faces financial ruin in the wake of personal loss."This isn't about business. It's about responsibility. About protecting those we love. About building a future where dignity, security, and foresight replace panic, shame, and last-minute fundraisers.

In today's episode, I sit down with Eugenie Addison, CEO of Sensei.Me, whose mission was born from personal loss and years of scientific research into airborne diseases. Driven by a family history of chronic respiratory illnesses, Eugenie turned her postdoctoral research into an innovative solution for healthier indoor air. We talk about her journey from building her first startup in college to creating a nanotechnology-powered device that can detect and mitigate harmful pathogens in under five minutes. Her story shows how purpose, resilience, and strategic thinking can turn tragedy into a mission to save lives and transform global health.

In this deeply moving conversation, Rabbi Hammer opens up about his daughter Gila—her vibrant spirit, her struggles following a traumatic assault, and the painful journey that led to her tragic passing. He shares stories of Gila's infectious joy, her kindness, and her larger-than-life presence, as well as the challenges she faced when navigating pain and despair. Through this heartfelt interview, Rabbi Hammer reflects on the importance of open dialogue about mental health and suicide prevention. He speaks about the founding of Gila's Way, an organization dedicated to raising awareness, educating communities, and providing support for families in crisis. This discussion is not only a tribute to Gila's memory but also a powerful call to action: to break the stigma, to listen more deeply, to validate the struggles of those around us, and to never ignore the signs of someone in pain.

Blood has a very short shelf life, even under the best of conditions—and you can picture the less-than-ideal conditions where blood is frequently needed—which is why scientists have been working on a blood alternative. The results are promising. Guest: Nicky Twilley, host of “Gastropod” podcast and author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet and Ourselves. Want more What Next?
