Our latest Researcher of the Month, Professor Joel Talcott, has worked with a team of researchers to develop a new universal screening tool for all five and six year olds in UK schools. It will launch in Autumn 2026. Based on classroom observation, the Universal Classroom screener will be delivered and managed by teachers. It assesses a small set of key cognitive skills that support current and future learning (phonological awareness and decoding, vocabulary, attention, working memory and social-emotional processing). Here, Professor Talcott chats to us about the screener, and explores how it identifies both weak areas in children's skills, which can then be targeted with support or intervention, alongside strengths, which can be augmented to foster further growth.

"The disease is increasingly managed as a chronic condition rather than a diagnosis with an immediate terminal outcome. Particularly, with earlier and more effective and sustained treatment options, we can make this disease a very chronic, long-term, livable condition. I want to make sure that patients are aware that this is not a death sentence. This is something that patients can live with for the long term," Ann McNeill, RN, MSN, APN, nurse practitioner at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about long-term multiple myeloma considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "We do consider myeloma an incurable hematologic malignancy, even though we have had improvements in survival. But just like for any malignancy, our goal is to maximize survival. We want to eliminate as many myeloma cells as we possibly can. And subsequently, we want to improve the quality of life for these patients in the long term. So those are basically our treatment goals. That's what we think of when we're treating patients all throughout their treatment journey." TS 1:39 "It is very typical for patients along their journey to have received several lines of therapy. I think it's important to realize that the cells acquire new mutations, making them more resistant to these further subsequent lines of therapy. We see quicker, more aggressive relapses in those patients with multiple prior lines of therapy. We can see an increase in the CRAB symptoms, which are the calcium elevations, the renal dysfunction, profound anemia, and even bone disease. We can see a rapid rise in the monoclonal protein in the labs or even a very rapid rise in the involved light chain in that serum free light chain assay, so it's important to monitor these labs." TS 9:14 "All oncology nurses are focusing on these survivorship plans now. And I think that's a great thing when you think about a diagnosis of cancer and a survivorship plan, because it means these patients are living a longer time. We still look at long-term health maintenance guidelines depending on the patient's sex and their age. ... I think preventing infection is always going to be something absolutely on the forefront in our survivorship plan with myeloma. I mean, myeloma is an immune system malignancy. The treatments that we have given patients can sometimes, especially in later life therapies, further compromise the immune system. So, we're always looking to prevent serious infection." TS 12:46 "Patients get treatment, especially induction therapy. They may or may not get transplant. They may have been on a very minor maintenance schedule, depending on their age. And they feel really well. And then they decide not to return for their follow-up because they feel so good. I think nurses are critical in the communication aspect of the patient-provider aspect. So, nurses are really the key means of communication. The providers are absolutely important—the physicians, the nurse practitioners and every other member of the team—but I think the nurses have a really special rapport with patients. They're usually the ones providing the education on the treatment regimens. They're managing the toxicity profiles. They're doing all the coordination of care between visits. They are really going to be the ones telling the patient, 'Hey, you're going to feel good and that's a wonderful thing, but you still need to come once a month or once every six weeks or once every two months for your labs.'" TS 15:17 "It has been amazing. The science, the research, the treatments, the approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Survivorship has improved dramatically. Let's take the first few years of the new century, right? The five-year survival rate was about 38%. If you then jump to 2015–2019, which is still seven plus years ago, it has doubled. So, we're talking about anywhere from 60%–80% over a five-year survival. So that's an amazing improvement in their five-year survival rate for myeloma." TS 23:28 "Survivorship in myeloma begins at diagnosis, not just after treatment. And I think that because it is managed as a chronic, often relapsing disease, it does require lifelong evolving care. Patients should realize that they will know us for the rest of their lives. We will know everything about you. I always tell them, 'I will know everything about your hobbies, your children, your grandchildren, what you love to do on the weekends.' It's very important that that point is made right at diagnosis, not just after so many lines of treatment. It's very important that we are going to follow these patients throughout their journey." TS 28:18
What Stability Really Requires: Breana Grayson on Bipolar Disorder, Stigma, and Support at WorkAmy Pons hosts Women Making Moves and interviews writer Breana Grayson about living with bipolar disorder, what “stability really requires,” and the stigma and misunderstandings that still surround bipolar (“one of the ‘scary ones'”). Breana explains that medication is essential for her but not sufficient; stability also involves therapy, psychiatric care, consistent sleep, exercise, diet, and enjoyable practices like writing, guitar, and “therapy based kind of yoga,” and she defines stability as moving through life without derailing relationships or work. They discuss how menstrual cycles can affect symptoms, Breana's use of cycle tracking and astrology to document patterns, and her diagnosis process at 25 through an intensive outpatient program after work and relationship difficulties. Brianna argues remote and flexible work are not favors but protect productivity, and she advocates proactive workplace support, education, and community so people don't handle bipolar alone.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:47 Stability and Root Chakra01:22 Bipolar Stability Routine02:22 Redefining Normal03:46 Yoga and Creative Coping04:33 Bipolar Stigma Myths05:46 Cycles Hormones Astrology08:51 Sharing Her Story at 2609:23 Diagnosis at 2510:32 Screening and Medication Risks11:58 Childhood Signs and School Support14:58 Remote Work as Accommodation17:51 Workplace Support Strategies20:37 Mental Health Across Generations25:21 Advice Find Community27:04 Where to Follow and Closing
Basketball has a way of shaping people long before they ever step onto a sideline.For Darius Taylor, that journey started in Chicago — during the era when one name dominated the city: Michael Jordan.Watching Jordan redefine greatness didn't just inspire a kid to pick up a basketball. It created a mindset. A culture. An expectation.In Chicago, winning wasn't optional.It was identity.Taylor began playing the game around age nine, growing up in one of the toughest and most competitive basketball environments in America. Chicago has produced legends like Juwan Howard, Antoine Walker, Michael Finley, and Shawn Marion — and the intensity of that basketball culture helped shape Taylor early.But what separated him from many young athletes was self-awareness.He realized early that playing professionally might not be his ultimate path. Instead of forcing a dream that didn't fit, he pivoted toward the side of the game where he could make the biggest impact.Coaching.That decision would eventually place him in rooms most people never experience.His basketball education accelerated through USA Basketball, where Taylor traveled internationally working with elite players and coaches. It was during that time he connected with one of the most influential figures in women's basketball — Dawn Staley.That relationship led to Taylor's first major coaching opportunity at Temple University, where he worked under Staley and helped develop future stars.Along the way he had the opportunity to work with some of the best players in the game — including Candice Dupree, A'ja Wilson, and Alaina Coates.But beyond X's and O's, Taylor absorbed something even more important from Staley.Discipline.As he explains it:“The thing that separates success from everything else is discipline — doing the same boring things over and over until you master them.”That philosophy became central to how he approaches both basketball and leadership.Taylor's career eventually took him into one of the most powerful roles in professional basketball — the WNBA front office.Working with organizations like the Atlanta Dream and the Connecticut Sun, Taylor helped evaluate talent, study roster construction, and even play a role in the drafting and development of future stars.Front office work changes how you see the game.You're not just watching players.You're projecting futures.Studying growth curves.Evaluating potential.That experience reshaped how Taylor views basketball today — especially the small details that separate good players from championship players.One area he believes many young athletes overlook is defense.As Taylor explains:“Ninety percent of the game you don't have the ball. So how are you impacting winning when the ball isn't in your hands?”Defense. Passing. Rebounding. Screening.Those habits build careers.They also build championships.Today, Taylor is helping lead a new chapter for Texas A&M women's basketball alongside his wife, head coach Joni Taylor.The challenge has been significant.With the transfer portal reshaping college basketball, the Aggies brought in twelve new players in a single season. In modern roster management, turnover has become the norm.But Taylor believes culture can overcome chaos.The program emphasizes connection — team retreats, relationship building, and intentional leadership development. Because basketball success isn't just about strategy.It's about trust.It's about belief.For Taylor, recognition has never been the goal. He's always been comfortable working behind the scenes.But his impact on the game is undeniable.From USA Basketball…To the WNBA front office…To the SEC.Few people understand the women's game from as many angles as Darius Taylor.And when asked what's next, his answer remains simple.Help Texas A&M rise.Build a championship program.And maybe one day return to the WNBA front office.Because leaders like Darius Taylor don't just coach basketball.They shape the future of the game.

Menopause Mastery Show | Starting HRT After 65: Is It Too Late? Transdermal Estrogen and Bone, Sleep & Dementia Risk Welcome to Menopause Mastery! In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray examines whether starting menopausal hormone therapy after age 65 is always unsafe, arguing that blanket "no" answers stem from an evidence vacuum and fear following the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI), which used oral conjugated equine estrogen and synthetic progestins. Dr. Murray contrasts oral therapy's first-pass liver metabolism and clotting risk with transdermal bioidentical estradiol, which has observational and retrospective data (including a large Medicare analysis) associated with no increased DVT, stroke, or heart attack risk. She highlights evidence for fracture reduction and maintained vertebral bone density with long-term therapy, discusses sleep benefits (a modifiable dementia risk factor), notes limited cognitive trials in older starters, and emphasizes individualized risk assessment (cardiovascular screening, genetics like APOE4) and monitoring; she also recommends vaginal estrogen to reduce UTIs and urosepsis risk. This episode is for women who feel they may have missed their window on starting HRT, and why it may not be too late. In fact, women of all ages will benefit from this information, so don't forget to share it with someone you know! 00:00 HRT After 65 02:36 The Evidence Vacuum 04:55 Myth of the Window 06:27 WHI vs Modern Estrogen 08:36 Transdermal Safety Data 10:08 Why Observational Counts 14:51 Risk Math in Your 70s 19:32 Bone Density Benefits 23:08 Sleep and ApoE4 24:30 APOE4 Risk Basics 25:07 Sleep as Brain Protection 25:55 Transdermal Estrogen for Sleep 27:12 Insomnia Raises Dementia Risk 28:22 Personalizing HRT for Sleep 30:03 Cardiovascular Risks and Screening 34:56 Evidence Gaps and WHI Context 38:38 APOE4 Sleep and Estradiol Link 40:09 Decision Framework Over 65 43:08 Monitoring and Follow Up 45:47 Alternatives and Tradeoffs 48:16 Vaginal Estrogen and Wrap Up Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Like, comment, and subscribe on YouTube: @drbettymurray Links: The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/ More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Being fair to everyone is never easy. Allowing the guilty to self incriminate usually works best. This shows History requires us to occasionally step back and stare. SCOTUS lawyer Goldstein indicted under tax charges. Why him? Today's rollout is a shout above the chaos. This stuff happens all the time. 14 million of gambling debts. Systemic corruption erodes credibility. Clarity isn't appreciated until it's shown. Pattern recognition, real documentation and memory. Selecting angles, characters and plot finale. This is the state of the media. Emotion compression and clickable outrage. The degrading process that uses bimbo's. The infrustructure of communications is key. Why they are NOT a neutral bystander. Turning legal rights into a political strategy. How the court's infrastructure works. Why are all these fed employees hating on Trump. Is this just procedural opposition? The Minneapolis protests have an managing infrastructure. Screening, travel routes, background checks and license plate data bases are included. This is NOT spontaneous activism. They are using license plate recognition systems. Who has access to Hilton Hotel information? The post ayatollah era. The young and innocent know not what they do. It's called treason.
Send a textIn this PT Snacks episode, we walk through how to tell when “shoulder pain” might not actually be coming from the shoulder—and why that matters for safe, intentional screening in the clinic. We compare classic musculoskeletal patterns (pain tied to motion/loading and reproducible on exam) versus non-mechanical presentations like constant, poorly localized, deep/pressure-like pain that doesn't change with movement and may come with systemic or autonomic symptoms. Also covered are common non-musculoskeletal sources that can refer to the shoulder—pulmonary/thoracic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal/hepatic, and malignancy/systemic disease—plus practical questions and quick vitals-based triage you can blend into a normal eval. 00:00 Welcome to PT Snacks00:15 Why Non MSK Matters01:52 MSK vs Non MSK Clues03:56 Pulmonary Referral Patterns04:54 Cardiac Red Flags05:51 GI and Hepatic Sources06:34 Cancer and Systemic Causes07:27 Triage Questions and Screen09:12 When to Refer Urgently10:32 Wrap Up and ResourcesSupport the showNeed CEUs?

Send a textA child who misses a quarter of classroom words isn't daydreaming—they're falling through a gap we can close. We dive into World Hearing Day with a focus on kids, where hearing care intersects with brain development, language growth, and classroom success. From missed fricatives to fragile confidence, we trace how small losses cascade into academic and social struggles, and why bringing services to schools and community hubs changes everything.We unpack two imperatives that drive real progress. First, prevent what's preventable: treat middle ear infections quickly, teach safe listening before earbuds become a habit, watch for ototoxic risks, and stop pushing wax deeper. Second, identify early when prevention falls short. Timely school screenings, tight referral pathways, and affordable evaluations protect the brain's language window and keep kids from being mislabeled as distracted or defiant when they're actually fighting to hear. Screening without follow-up is just noise; systems turn awareness into outcomes.You'll hear practical steps for families to normalize annual hearing tests, not just basic school screens, and for educators to advocate for consistent district protocols and follow up on every referral. For clinicians, manufacturers, and policymakers, we outline how community partnerships, school-based initiatives, and scalable access solutions expand reach and reduce inequity. Throughout, we return to a core truth: we don't hear with our ears; we hear with our brain. When hearing care reaches communities and classrooms, it fuels literacy, confidence, and a sense of belonging.If this message resonates, help us carry it forward. Subscribe, share with a parent or educator, and leave a review with one action your community can take this month. Let's make hearing care for all children more than a theme—let's make it standard.Connect with the Hearing Matters Podcast TeamEmail: hearingmatterspodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @hearing_matters_podcast Facebook: Hearing Matters Podcast

National guidelines recommend a routine screening for anxiety and intimate partner violence in adolescent girls and women. But the screenings are rarely implemented across clinics in Oregon, according to a new study from Oregon Health and Science University. The study cites reasons such as provider discomfort, lack of awareness and challenges to workflow as reasons these screenings aren’t being implemented. Amy Cantor, a researcher and OHSU family physician, was the senior researcher on this study. She joins us to share her findings and how the research led to new, tangible tools that providers can use in the screening process.
What should your next step be if your screening tests are negative. How worried should you be about child abuse in the setting of a femur fracture and when to pay attention to the exceptions.

AI and the future of journalism In February, "Ideastream Explores: Artificial Intelligence" covered the myriad ways AI is rapidly evolving and changing our lives. It's impacting how students learn, reshaping the workforce, and we're learning more and more about the environmental costs of data centers and the massive processing power needed for generative AI programs. Ideastream hosted a "Sound of Ideas Community Tour" at the Idea Center and took part in another live event as well, about the intersection of journalism and artificial intelligence and concerns the public has about how we might be using it and what guardrails we're setting in place. The Akron Press Club has pulled together a panel today to talk about the choices newsroom are making and what the next generation of journalists are being taught about AI. Guests: - Andrew Meyer, Deputy Editor, Ideastream Public Media - Phil Trexler, Editor-in-Chief, The Marshall Project - Cleveland - Mizell Stewart, Professor-in-Residence, Kent State University Colorectal Cancer Rates Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths among people younger than 50 in the United States, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. The recent deaths of actors James Van Der Beek and Catherine O'Hara have brought renewed attention to the disease. While most cases still occur in people over 50, rates among younger adults are rising. Screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society adopted in 2018 now recommend that average-risk adults begin screening at 45 instead of 50. Colorectal cancer is highly treatable when detected early, and experts say screening options, including colonoscopies and at-home stool tests, are saving lives.

THE AI IN HIRING REPORT 2026 AI now shapes how candidates are discovered, evaluated, progressed, and hired. What began as productivity tooling has become a decision-making layer across the hiring funnel, influencing speed, fairness, quality, and outcomes at scale. As adoption accelerates, the focus has shifted from novelty to impact: what AI is actually doing inside hiring workflows, where it adds value, and where risk is emerging. This session brings those realities into the open, grounded in fresh data from Greenhouse's 2026 report on the state of AI in recruitment. The report investigates AI use across the full hiring funnel, including: • Attraction & employer branding – how AI shapes job ads, messaging, and candidate reach • Sourcing – automation, matching, and talent rediscovery inside ATS platforms • Screening & shortlisting – CV parsing, skills inference, and early-stage decision support • Assessment & interviewing – structured interviews, note-taking, and signal consistency • Candidate experience – communication, feedback loops, and process transparency • Hiring decisions - how are candidates evaluated and how offers are personalised and shaped.

Send a textBen and Daphna conclude Journal Club with a quality improvement study from Pediatrics titled "Improving Health-Related Social Needs Screening and Support Across a Pediatric Health Care System". The hosts discuss the successful implementation of universal social determinants of health (SDOH) screening across nine pediatric divisions at Levine Children's. They highlight the impressive results—screening compliance reaching 92%—and the practical impact of connecting families to resources like FindHelp.org, which led to a 56% resolution rate in food insecurity for positive screens.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on one Ohio hospital's efforts to boost Childhood literacy.
When Donald Trump returned to office, he pledged the largest immigration crackdown in U.S. history. While public debate centered on mass deportations, a quieter — and potentially more consequential — transformation has taken shape: the rapid expansion of immigrant detention capacity inside the United States. New 2025 data shows that 77% of people newly placed into deportation proceedings had no criminal conviction. At the same time, ICE is consolidating more than 200 detention sites into 34 massive facilities — including proposed “mega-centers” capable of holding up to 10,000 people each. Planned sites span Georgia, Maryland, Texas, and Arizona, with total capacity projected to approach 100,000 beds. A controversial Department of Homeland Security memo now directs mandatory “re-vetting” of refugees at the one-year mark, allowing detention during inspection with no defined time limit. Critics argue this creates the risk of prolonged — even indefinite — confinement for people lawfully admitted to the United States. Federal judges have rebuked elements of the policy, citing constitutional concerns and unlawful detention practices. Meanwhile, fatal encounters involving federal immigration officers and a wave of collapsed federal prosecutions have intensified scrutiny. Supporters call the overhaul modernization and a restoration of order. Opponents see the construction of a permanent detention infrastructure that could outlast any single administration. Independent media has never been more important.

In this episode, Freddie and Renee zoom out on the modern wellness landscape—where tech, supplements, scans, and strong opinions are everywhere—and make a case for discernment over dogma. They talk candidly about online criticism, influencer skepticism, and why “trying things” only works when you introduce tools one at a time, track outcomes (HRV, sleep, glucose), and don't confuse information with wisdom. The through-line is simple: foundational health still matters, but intelligent experimentation can be powerful when it's paired with humility and real feedback loops. Then the conversation goes deep into two high-stakes areas people rarely discuss honestly: full-body MRI screening and biological dentistry. Renee shares her Prunuvo experience—how a possible kidney finding triggered weeks of stress and a cascade of follow-up imaging and specialist visits, raising the hard question of where early detection ends and false positives begin. From there, she opens up about a long dental arc that started with a traumatic accident at 16, eventually leading her to remove older titanium implants, manage bone loss and grafting, and transition to zirconia ceramic implants—not as fear-based medicine, but as a “reduce the burden” choice while she explores chronic fatigue, immune markers, and Episode Highlights [00:00] – Renee's Pranuvo full-body MRI experience and the 15mm kidney stone scare [16:02] – False positives, medical rabbit holes, and the emotional/financial cost of early detection [22:53] – Top health yardsticks: glucose markers, HRV, sleep tracking, and foundational labs [25:08] – CGMs, cortisol testing (Dutch & ELi Health), and why trends matter more than single data points [27:15] – Genetic testing, APOE4 status, and using DNA as a focus tool (DNA Company & SelfDecode) [51:37] – Renee's dental trauma story: accident, titanium implants, and root canal decisions [54:56] – Titanium implants, ANA positivity, chronic fatigue, and biocompatibility concerns [59:22] – Surgery recovery protocol: red light therapy, StemRegen, BPC-157 & TB-500 peptides [01:29:10] – Closing reflections and exosome therapy mention Links & Resources Learn more about Renee Belz → https://reneebelz.com/ Follow Renee on Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/reneebelz/ Listen to the Biohacker Babes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/renee-belz-lauren-sambataro/id1470189843 Get Silver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD — 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN Try CatchBio: https://catchbio.com — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken StemRegen: stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 — Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Dear Damona episode, we tackle what to do when someone keeps canceling last minute before you've even had a first date, and how to tell the difference between giving someone a fair chance and letting them waste your time. This week, a listener named Jenna shares: "I matched with a guy on a dating app and followed your advice. After a week of messaging, I asked him for a brief phone call. He was so fun to talk to, and we seemed aligned. We agreed to meet for drinks after work. The day of the date came, and at lunchtime he texted and apologized that a work emergency came up and he had to cancel. He asked to reschedule and we found a day the following week, and he canceled again with a similar work situation." What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why that gut feeling of resistance before rescheduling is actually your bodily wisdom talking The real difference between the benefit of the doubt and gullibility The must-do screening steps that reduce ghosting and flakiness What two last-minute cancels actually reveal about someone's priorities The hidden cost of rescheduling for someone who keeps flaking Resources & Links: Unlock the secret to successful dating with our Date Tracker at Damonahoffman.com/datetracker Call or text your question to: 424-246-6255.

My guests this week are Professor Paul Lacaze and Jane Tiller - two leading voices shaping the future of public health genetics in Australia. Professor Lacaze is a Professor of Genetics and part of the team behind DNA Screen, a major initiative exploring how preventive DNA testing could help identify people at high genetic risk of cancer and heart disease while they're still young and healthy. Jane Tiller is a lawyer and genetic counsellor with deep expertise in the policy and ethical frameworks needed to make genomic screening safe, trusted, and accessible at scale. Best known for their work on the DNA Screen pilot study, Paul and Jane are helping drive a shift from reactive healthcare, where genetic testing often happens after disease appears to anticipatory healthcare that uses genetics as a preventive screening tool, alongside existing public health programs like mammograms and bowel cancer screening. In this episode of Humans of Purpose, we explore what preventive DNA screening could mean for Australia, including: what the DNA Screen pilot found (including the number of young adults carrying high-risk, actionable genetic variants) why early screening gives people time to make informed decisions about surveillance, prevention, and family planning what “actionable” genes really means (and why lifestyle changes alone can't remove certain risks the importance of protecting Australians from genetic discrimination and why data governance, privacy, transparency and participant choice are essential if a program like this is to earn public trust. Tune in to hear how Paul and Jane are working to mainstream genomic risk management into the health system and what it could take to move from pilot to national scale.

Incarcerated men defy the odds to expose a cover-up. In 2019, filmmakers visit an Alabama prison to film a revival meeting. Off camera, incarcerated men whisper a message: terrible things are going on here that are being kept secret from the public. This sparks an immersive 6-year investigation to discover the reality behind the walls of what the film calls “the nation's deadliest prison system.”With unprecedented direct access, the filmmakers learn from incarcerated men about a suspicious and violent death. The story unfolds in real time, revealing it isn't an isolated incident, and that the official version appears far from the truth. What follows is a shocking story of brutality, corruption, and a system in collapse. As the men fight for their own survival, they embark on a campaign of resistance, against all odds.Join us for a screening of the Oscar-nominated new documentary Alabama Solution, followed by a Q&A with director and producer Andrew Jarecki This program contains EXPLICIT language.

The ACOG states that, “Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of low birth weight, preterm delivery, and perinatal mortality and should be treated with iron supplementation in addition to prenatal vitamins. In addition, there may be an association between maternal iron deficiency anemia and postpartum depression, with poor results in mental and psychomotor performance testing in offspring”. Screening for anemia is included in most prenatal lab sets. However, up to 42% of women who enter prenatal care are iron deficient BEFORE anemia is detected. Iron deficiency itself, even without anemia, has also been linked to pregnancy morbidity. The ACOG currently does not have a statement endorsing universal ferritin screening in pregnancy outside of established anemia, but new data is challenging this (Jan 2026, Lancet).

Are mammograms truly protecting women — or is it time to rethink how we approach breast health? In this powerful and deeply nuanced conversation, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with former fellowship-trained breast surgeon turned integrative oncologist Dr. Jenn Simmons to unpack one of the most important questions in women's health today: Are mammograms safe — and are they enough? Together, they explore how conventional breast cancer screening became the standard, what the research actually says about radiation exposure and screening frequency, and why early detection is not the same as prevention. Dr. Simmons shares her personal turning point — from 17 years at the forefront of breast oncology to leaving conventional medicine and founding Real Health MD after her own health crisis. What she discovered changed everything: inflammation, toxicity, hormone disruption, and metabolic dysfunction matter far more than women are being told. This episode goes beyond mammograms. It dives into: • Radiation risks and over-screening • Alternative imaging options including thermography, ultrasound, and emerging technologies • Hormones and breast cancer — clearing the misinformation • Why anti-estrogen messaging can be harmful and incomplete • Bioidentical progesterone and protective mechanisms • Birth control pills and breast development risk • The power of metabolic health, fasting windows, detoxification, and terrain theory Most importantly, this conversation restores agency. You are not powerless when it comes to breast health. Knowledge is evolving. Screening is evolving. Hormone science is evolving.

Postdoctoral researcher Wei Zhang discusses the article "Peripheral artery disease prevention: Saving limbs and lives." Wei explains how peripheral artery disease acts as a silent burden on the "life-highway" vessels of the body and why amputation rates are tragically rising by nearly 9 percent annually despite medical advancements. The conversation highlights the critical gap in early diagnosis caused by a "wait-to-see" mentality and exposes the deep socioeconomic disparities that leave marginalized communities at higher risk for limb loss. Wei outlines simple, proven prevention strategies that can save the health care system billions while preserving the fundamental human dignity of mobility and independence.
