Dr. Edward DeLong is a Professor in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawai'i Mānoa as well as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT. Research in Ed's lab brings together a variety of disciplines to study microbial communities in the ocean. He is interested in their ecology, evolution, biochemistry, genomics, and their impacts on marine systems. Particularly of interest for Ed are the microscopic organisms that are the primary producers or “forests of the ocean” responsible for releasing oxygen and serving as food for other organisms in marine food chains. When he's not working, Ed loves to be out in nature. He enjoys spending time outside with his family, hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling in the beautiful coral reefs near his house. Ed has also taken up yoga to help him stay limber and relaxed. Ed received his B.S. in Bacteriology from the University of California, Davis and his Ph.D. in Marine Biology from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at Indiana University. Ed has worked as a research scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, a faculty member at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a research scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and a faculty member at MIT before accepting his current position in Hawai'i. His honors and achievements include the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, the DuPont Young Faculty Award, the Apple Bioinformatics Cluster Award, the Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal of the European Geosciences Union, the Proctor and Gamble Award in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, American Society for Microbiology D.C. White Research and Mentorship Award, the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences Outstanding Alumni Award, A.G. Huntsman Medal for Excellence in Marine Science, and the Moore Foundation Marine Microbiology Investigator Award. Ed is also an Elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Microbiology. Ed has also been elected as an Associate of the European Molecular Biology Organization and is the Vice President and President Elect of the International Society of Microbial Ecology. In addition, he currently serves as the co-director of the Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE). Ed joined us for a conversation about his experiences in life and science.

Scientists have found that just one mutation in the current H5N1 virus in cattle can switch its preference from avian to human receptors. Jim Paulson and colleagues at the Scripps Institute did not use the whole virus to investigate this, but proteins from one of the Texas farm workers found to be infected. It suggests the bovine H5N1 virus has already evolved subtly. Meanwhile, Richard Webby of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis helps us catch up on the latest known about the case of the Canadian teenager taken seriously ill a month ago with a different variant of avian H5N1. A debate has been rumbling this last year about the extent of ocean warming by, perhaps paradoxically, the reduction of particulate pollution from the fuel used by ships. The idea is that the small particles of sulphates and nitrates in the soot from funnels actually formed clouds over shipping lanes out at sea. This in turn sheltered the oceans to some extent from solar radiation, thus making latter decades of the 20th century seem cooler than they would have measured today. Hence, removing the particulate pollution from bunker fuel, mandated by the International Maritime Organisation a few years ago, may have contributed to the surge in ocean temperatures witnessed in the last two years. Daniele Visione, of Cornell, and colleagues have done the modelling and found that there has indeed been a noticeable effect. But earth's oceans are certainly not as hot as Venus' ones, if indeed such oceans ever existed. It has long been held that once upon a time our sunward neighbour might have possessed liquid water oceans, long since boiled off by runaway greenhouse effects of the atmosphere. But, breaking with science fiction visions of aliens paddling in temperate seas, Tereza Constantinou of Cambridge University has been looking at the gases coming out of the volcanos on Venus, and has concluded that the planet never had such surface water, basically because the rocks from which magma is made don't billow steam when they boil today.

Becky Robbins is native to Colorado where she lived until moving to California to honor both mountains and the ocean. The variety in her career choices have included medicine, the business of creation and development of personal growth and at this time, the business of creating art. Her life choices that have contributed to this endeavor owe to her love of Nature both above and below the sea, of worldwide indigenous cultures, science, music, theater and the exploration of the psychology and spirituality of humans and creatures.   Her art became the focus of her life after leaving the personal development business and having a curiosity for all things that have profound depth and interconnectedness in tangible and ethereal ways.  Minimal academic art education created the freedom for Becky to immerse in series of art vastly different and unique that have led her to this current expression which is her signature style, while every painting is its own individual world.   Her art is informed by her love of adventure travel and back roads experiences chosen to illuminate the land, its creatures, the cultures and their self-expression in both lifestyle and the things they make. This depth of knowledge which is never complete nor permanent is what gives each painting its own voice and keeps Becky returning to the easel as a tool for her own awareness and expansion in her personal life and operating system in the world at large.   Her work is experienced in the images portrayed, collaborated at times with other artists and photographers, and in the manner the viewer is taken on a personal journey of their own. Each oil painted piece is a half-year process itself and perceived through the lens of the artist and the world she inhabits.    Her current projects include a show created for television called The Art of Art. It's a cinematographic experience seeing individual creators in the process of their craft and it's hosted by Becky. She interviews these masters and ties in those who use the creations.How does paint get in a tube? That question created the trip through the Old Holland Paint Company labs where pigments from the Masters were obtained and are still used to make some of the best oil paints in the world. That episode ends with a tour through the Restoration Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC. A visual feast! Another episode stars saddle makers and the intricate process they use and includes the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and how a group is focused on creating indoor arenas for the children to be able to have refuge in the long South Dakota winters, reviving their heritage by learning to ride horses, participating in relay races between tribes and much more.   Becky has had remarkable healing experiences after 2 total knee replacement surgeries by using lasers that are unique in the world, created by a unique doctor and is devoted to getting these out into the world to assist others with healing from surgeries, injuries, cognitive decline and more. It's a passion for her to help others achieve the freedom she now has.    Becky describes herself as an outdoor person when not in her studio, loves an active lifestyle of skiing, diving, hiking, and and more. An avid learner, she enjoys her guitar, djembe drums, research and discovery. She is an advocate of HeartMath and meditation, her spiritual evolution and care of this planet Earth. She is a devoted supporter of La Jolla Playhouse and Scripps Institute of Oceanography's Birch Aquarium and a program Just Like My Child for Girl Power in Uganda and India. . She treasures her family and lives and works in Del Mar, California.

“Unhealthy changes in the gut microbial ecosystem may manifest as poorer cognitive performance, impaired emotional regulation, negative moods states, and unhealthy stress response.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/8SFTPIuQ9To This was posted three days ago from Neurohacker Collective saying that we are “just on the fringes of understanding the gut-brain connection and its impact on cognitive performance and emotional well-being” and I agree, that this topic is finally getting the attention it deserves. Sit back and enjoy today's episode, and I hope you take away some tips that show you how to improve your gut-brain connection for improved mood and health, immediately! Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain learns best, taking us ALL to new, and often unimaginable heights.    On today's EP #305 we welcome back Dr. Gregory Kelly from EP #285[i] just this past April where he introduced us to Qualia Senolytic where we covered: What is cellular senescence? What are the "Hallmarks of Aging" and why is cellular senescence an important hallmark? The difference between cellular senescence and autophagy (with a quick review of 9th grade science mitosis). Classical places where senescent cells take hold in the body. The science to support senolytics from Mayo Clinic and Scripps Institute. How do senolytics work? The correct way to dose senolytics. What makes Qualia Senolytic a groundbreaking supplement in the longevity space? This interview set the stage for what we will cover today, with a look at Qualia  Synbiotic,  a one-of-a-kind formula doesn't just promote healthy gut. It also helps support mood and brain performance by enhancing gut-brain connections that are also crucial for nearly every system in body. There's never been one simple scoop of supplemental nutrition designed to support so many aspects of gut health, including the gut-brain axis*  First, a bit about Dr. Gregory Kelly: On today's episode, #305 we will cover: What are keystone species and what role do they play in shaping our gut ecosystem? Probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics - what's the difference? Breaking up some myths about probiotics, and prebiotics How to fix gut imbalances and prevent dis-ease in our body? What we can notice with Qualia Synbiotic, this ultimate digestive health formula? Dr. Kelly's favorite science-backed ingredients to support optimal digestion, immune function, and key aspects of the gut-brain connection. What Dr. Kelly thinks of neurogenesis/what's exciting for him these days to think about in the field of health and wellness? Let's welcome Dr. Gregory Kelly back to the podcast, from Neurohacker Collective!     Welcome back Dr. Gregory Kelly for the second time on the podcast! I've got to say that when we opened up our last interview, I was a huge fan of Neurohacker Collective and what you've built over there bringing together all the top minds in health and wellness, but I had only tried your products for a few weeks when we met last. It's been 5 months now we've been using Qualia Senoltyics in our house hold (my husband and I) and what a difference, especially when it comes to being able to focus and work longer periods of time without losing mental clarity. I contribute that 100% of this to what you've created at Neurohacker.com Thank you! I also want to thank you for coming back on the podcast and helping me to understand the science behind the advanced products you and your team have created for health, wellness and longevity. I'm sincerely grateful to have this opportunity to speak with you, and learn what's new with Neurohacker Collective. Welcome Back! INTRO: So, Dr. Kelly, in order to create interview questions for today, I did listen to the podcast episode introduction you did with The Neurohacker Science Team[ii] so I could understand the overview of what we would talk about today. I'm not a scientist, but love learning at the highest level possible and sharing these latest discoveries in science on the podcast. I released an episode last week to prepare our listeners for this one on a “Deeper Dive into Understanding the Gut-Brain Axis for Improving Our Mental and Physical Health”[iii] so we can take our understanding to new heights, and the biggest question I have before we even begin, is that I wonder what was it that made you create Qualia Synbiotic in the first place? Where did this vision for helping us to improve our digestion AND mood begin? Q1: This I think is brilliant because once I understood your vision for creating a product that combines probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics in one, I started to see how you were creating the next generation probiotic.  What does synbiotic mean for our gut/brain and microbiome?   Q2: What should we know about the gut-brain ecosytem and how does it influence the choices of foods we gravitate towards? I know we've all heard that we are what we eat, and this changes how we feel idea. How does our gut react to what we eat, and then what does this do to our brain? Q2B: If you are taking something like Qualia Synbiotic, do you need to do anything else? Q3: Can you give some background into what happened this past Jan 2023 with the hallmarks of aging going from 9-12? What was missing, that's there now? Q3B: Why do we gravitate towards certain foods? Healthy vs. Not Healthy?can Q4: I'm sure most of our listeners know about probiotics and how they help our gut, but this is your area of expertise. Can you break up some myths about probiotics, and prebiotics? I'm definitely someone who has bought a probiotic for how many million CFUs are on the front of the container, making me think “the more the better.” Q5: Now you've explained what probiotics/prebiotics are not, can you explain how they work together? How can someone who has an imbalance with their gut, fix this imbalance by restoring the gut ecosystem? Q6: Most of us have never been taught this. I noticed this with the first shake I made and added your product and right on the front of the container, you've listed “optimized digestion.” Now we have a clearer picture of how this impacts our gut-brain axis. How would you describe this to someone completely new, who has never heard of this, and doesn't have a scientific background? Q7: What do people typically notice when they take this? What effects and benefits should I notice other than that I just feel happier and healthier? What ingredients do you think are causing us to “feel” better symbiotically? Q8: If you were to put together the TOP QUALIA Products you hear impacting people the most, what would you say they are? Q9: My final question is something not related specifically to your product, but a more overall question where I'd love to pick your brain on something that I'm stumped about. It's about neurogenesis. Do you, Dr. Kelly, think we can create NEW brain cells through doing things like exercise, or do you think that this can only happen in the hippocampus of the brain? I'm curious because this is something that I can see many experts have a differing of opinion with. I wonder what you think? Dr. Kelly, I want to thank you for coming back on the podcast a second time. My husband and I are huge fans of Qualia Senolytic. We both use the original product that was designed to eliminate senescent cells 2 days a month, and the Qualia Mind is something we both use to stay focused on our work. I use Qualia skin, as I'm getting older, always looking for what else I can do to not look my age. Now I've added Qualia Synbiotic and all of these together, I just feel happier, healthier, leading to increased productivity. What I want to acknowledge you for is helping us to be proactive with our health and wellness with these advanced products that you've developed with your team, that not only help us to take care of our body, but also our mind that we know is connected. Thank you for coming back on the podcast and for explaining concepts that are complex in a way that we can understand and apply them, for improved health. I'll be sure to link Qualia Synbiotic in the show notes, and look forward to what's next on the horizon for you to create. FINAL THOUGHTS I never take for granted the opportunity I have as the host of this podcast, to get to learn first-hand from leading experts and innovators around the world, connecting to some of the top thought leaders in the field of neuroscience. I don't want to ever show up unprepared with any guest, as I want to take the messages we will uncover to higher levels than just what we could if I didn't dig deep and put some thought into what I am going to ask our guests.  I'll always connect past episodes to current ones, as we are all connected, and ALL episodes are relevant for us to move forward with our levels of productivity and achievement. If you take one look at Dr. Kelly's Neurohacker Collective team[iv], you will see what I mean. These are the leaders in the industry, who are moving the needle for the rest of the world. Sometimes the AHA Moments of learning don't show up right away. I need some time to think and process them, but on today's episode, they came at the end, when Dr. Kelly was suggesting that we pick one product that seems to be calling to you. If you have issues with your gut, try Qualia Synbiotic and see if something shifts for you. If you need more focus during your day, Qualia Mind does it for me and locks me into being able to hold my focus for longer periods of my work day. My FIRST AHA Moment of Learning: Do I fully understand what my eyes can see, my vision? While explaining Qualia Vision, Dr. Kelly spoke about how many of us “don't realize the work the visual system is doing in the background.” Our eyes are always working, seeing, and registering our environment. But If you know me, you'll know that I've had very weak vision for years. I've always worn contact lenses, and they were able to get me through life, but I noticed that I was starting to miss some very important things by not being able to see clearly, or using my peripheral vision. Dr. Kelly mentioned this is what our eyes were designed to do, and after years of struggling, I finally had Lasik, (just a few weeks ago) and currently have vision far beyond perfect (20/20). I can see now with 20-10 vision and am just adjusting to this new world. FOR YOU: Pick one area that you will look at yourself, and think, what will happen to the quality of my life if I improve this one area, and just start here. Is it your vision, like me, your digestion, clarity, sleep? Go to Neurohacker.com and just look at what they have, and try one thing. I'm not being paid to endorse them, I honestly believe them to be the highest-level supplements for improved health, longevity and wellness. Second AHA Moment: Bridging Science with The Unknown Dr. Kelly mentioned he felt it was kind of “woo woo” to mention, but he felt like his body would signal to him if he needed to take more digestion for his gut health. I didn't think this was weird at all, as many neuroscientists talk about being in tune with our body as being interoceptive. Dr. Kelly said that some people he knows are highly visual and can see things clearly on the screen of their minds, while he cannot, but he feels highly developed with his interoceptive abilities. If you've been following our podcast for some time, you will know that we covered The Silva Method[v] this past year, to help those of us who meditate, to take our visualization skills to higher levels. This 4- part series remains at the top of our all-time most listened to episodes, with almost 6K downloads. I'm always trying to bridge the gap with what we can prove with Science and what we cannot, and speaking with Dr. Kelly showed me that we ALL have Superpowers, that when developed, have the ability to take us to new heights. Like I quoted in our Silva Method series, “Once we learn to use our mind to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Jose Silva (August 11, 1914-February 7, 1999) author of The Silva Mind Control Method. FOR YOU: What's YOUR superpower? Mine is definitely the ability to see things clearly on the screen of my mind. I'd like to have this level of clarity with my eyes open, and just a few weeks after fixing my eye-sight, can see a whole new world of possibility. Once you have figured out what YOUR Superpower is, take some time to work on strengthening it every day. From the interest in The Silva Method episode, I'm curious how many others are working on improving their visual systems through guided imagery and meditation. I hope you have enjoyed this episode with Dr. Kelly, and learned as much as I did. I'll see you next week, and see what we will uncover then, to take our learning to new heights! Have a good weekend.

People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.  There's a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.  Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.  [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism   We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.  88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.  [25:10] Your Body Can't Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.  When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.  When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption. So, it's better to eat an apple than drink apple juice.  Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.  The most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.  A 12-ounce glass of orange juice might have 30 grams of sugar. There's no way the body will be able to deal with that appropriately.  [35:30] Tart Cherries As A Remedy For Gout and Lowering Uric Acid Levels  Tart cherries have been researched for decades. Originally, tart cherries have been looked upon as a remedy for gout.  It has been noted that people who ate cherries would have fewer gout flare-ups.  Tart cherries are pretty darn effective in lowering uric acid levels.  [36:40] The Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee  Drinking coffee is associated with a dramatically lowered risk of Alzheimer's. Coffee is also associated with lower uric acid levels.  Plus, coffee reduces inflammation, upregulates antioxidant function, and improves detoxification in the body.  Also, coffee helps us grow new brain cells, no matter our age.  [41:45] The Relationship Between Animal-Based Protein and The Role of Uric Acid Fiber is so essential for human health. Most of Dr. Perlmutter's food is plant-based.  Regarding our uric acid story, certain meats or animal products are worse than others. Organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and scallops can raise your uric acid levels.  The most significant issues for uric acid are fructose, purines, and alcohol.  [48:20] Should I Follow A Ketogenic Lifestyle If I Have Gout Attacks?  The most significant player in gout is fructose.  When you research how to fix gout, there will be no talk about removing sugar or fructose from your diet.  The human requirement for sugar in our diets is zero grams per day.  We subsidize the growth of corn from which high fructose corn syrup comes from. We are supporting the diseases that are sucking up our healthcare resources. Diseases are significant money makers for the healthcare industry.  It's time we start thinking about prevention.  [52:25] What Role Does Mental-Emotional Stress Play With Uric Acid Levels? When we are experiencing stress, our ability to make rational, forward-thinking decisions is compromised. When your decision-making is compromised, you won't be making good lifestyle choices.  Therefore, under stress, you will eat more foods that have sugar.  Eventually, you will raise uric acid levels and feed the flame of poor metabolic health. It is time to make better decisions by lowering your stress levels.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. David Perlmutter's Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Follow Dr. Perlmutter  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidPerlmutterMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Get Dr. Perlmutter's Books: https://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/books/ Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: Uric Acid testing device: https://amzn.to/3yjeP8Q https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Have you ever heard of Senolytics?[i] It's the latest breakthrough in aging and longevity science that I honestly had not heard about until I had an email about our next guest, whose work I'm very familiar with. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/poThU96sslU   I'm a huge fan of Neurohacker Collective (that was founded in 2015 with a mission of creating best-in-class well-being products) and I've been following their work for years to learn anything and everything possible about bio-hacking. We even quoted Heather Sandison (a medical advisor and podcast host with Neurohacker Collective) on our HRV EPISODE. [ii] One quick look at their ABOUT US[iii] section on their website, and I saw many of the leaders, innovators in health, longevity and wellness around the world, and quite a few who we have interviewed, like Dr. Anna Lembke from EPISODE #162[iv], Dr. Stickler from EPISODE #96[v] and Dr. Vuyisich from EPISODE #93[vi] and in their Collective Insight Section you'll see many names we quote often, like Dr. Andrew Huberman, Deepak Chopra, Dale Bredesen, David Rabin, Bruce Lipton, Michael Gelb, Jim Kwik…I could go on and on here. These are the leaders and innovators in the field of health, wellness and bio-hacking. This is going to be a phenomenal episode! And with that, I want to welcome you back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use for immediate results, with our brain in mind.  I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and educator with a passion for learning specifically on the topics of health, wellbeing and productivity, and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is to our everyday life and results using the most current brain research. If there's a tool, strategy or resource that I find, that could be helpful to improve productivity and results, whether we are a teacher in the classroom, a coach or in the modern workplace, I will share it here. On today's episode #285, we will be speaking with Dr. Gregory Kelly, the Director of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective[vii], a naturopathic physician (N.D.), and the author of the book Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution[viii] that's all about getting healthy while creating your ideal shape. As I was researching for this episode, I couldn't help thinking “how on the earth did I miss this topic of senolytics?” since I'm always looking for anything new when it comes to productivity, health and wellness hacks. While preparing for this episode, the Neurohacker Collective Team was extremely helpful. Tina Gammon, their Marketing Manager, sent me the trio package of Qualia Senolytic for (Vision, Night and Mind) and I'll be sharing the IMMEDIATE results I felt with the Night and Mind products, with a level of clarity I've never felt before.  I haven't tried the VISION one yet but have lots of questions to ask Dr. Kelly about today. So, hang tight, because on today's science-packed episode, we'll dive deep into this cutting edge topic, with the latest anti-aging research where we will cover: What is cellular senescence? What are the "Hallmarks of Aging" and why is cellular senescence an important hallmark? The difference between cellular senescence and autophagy (with a quick review of 9th grade science mitosis). Classical places where senescent cells take hold in the body. The science to support senolytics from Mayo Clinic and Scripps Institute. How do senolytics work? The correct way to dose senolytics. What makes Qualia Senolytic a groundbreaking supplement in the longevity space? A bit first about Dr. Kelly.   He has extensive experience in both natural medicine and nutrition, and has been an influential figure in this field. He has served as the editor of the journal Alternative Medicine Review and taught Advanced Clinical Nutrition, Counseling Skills, and Doctor-Patient Relationships at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Kelly has also published hundreds of articles on natural medicine and nutrition, contributed three chapters to the Textbook of Natural Medicine, and has over 30 journal articles indexed on Pubmed. His areas of expertise include nootropics, anti-aging and regenerative medicine, weight management, sleep, and the chronobiology of performance and health. Additionally, he has helped develop several rare and powerful compounds that have scientifically shown senolytic activity, and which have a wider range of mechanisms than existing senolytic supplements available. Before I get lost in my words on this topic, let's meet Dr. Gregory Kelly, and see what we can learn today to open our eyes to something new in this ever-changing field of science, health and longevity. Welcome Dr. Kelly. Thank you for being here on a Friday night. I'm curious with your background, what would you typically be doing on a Friday night (I imagine hanging out with Dr. Stickler and perhaps Dr. Andrew Huberman) talking about what you can create with the latest neuroscience research. Dr. Huberman advising you on your vision products, and Dr. Stickler, with a stack of tools for peak performance to investigate…is this what a typical Friday night would look like for you? INTRO Q: Dr. Kelly, I watched your interview with Dave Asprey, because he's been promoting your new Qualia product that we will be talking about today, all over the place, so I had to see what he asked you when he interviewed you (because he's such a creative mind).  I loved how he asked you about why you called your company Neurohacker Collective! What a great question. Can you share the answer again for our audience, as it's fitting for our podcast? Q1: Can we start with the basics?  What is cellular senescence and can you explain it from the 2 angles-the Zombie explanation for the movie experts who tune into the podcast vs the gardener analogy? 1B: How do we know we have senescent cells? Is it like inflammation? Q1C: We've talked about the concept of using exercise to prevent the shortening of telomeres on this podcast, but can you orient us with this idea and how it came into the evolution of aging? Q2: Our podcast took a turn towards health and wellness during the pandemic and we picked 5 health staples to dive deep into. You can see a couple of people from your organization that we've had on the podcast and many others we quote. Can you look at the list I've chosen, and tell me what I'm missing if we were to compare them to the "Hallmarks of Aging?" that you've uncovered? Q3: What's the difference between cellular senescence and autophagy (with a quick review of 9th grade science/mitosis here) and what we should expect healthy cells to do in our body vs the ones that give us trouble? Q4: What are some places where senescent cells take hold in the body? What about the science that supports senolytics from Mayo Clinic and Scripps Institute? What should we know? How do senolytics work? Q5: Andrea's vitamin story-I've got to also ask about the difference between taking vitamins that remove free radicals. It's not easy to see what's going on in the body. How would this be similar/different? Q6: What's the correct way to dose senolytics?  I loved that Dave Asprey was looking for a way to bio-hack what you've invented and perhaps take senolytics once a decade of something. Will this ever be a possibility? Q7:  I've got to give a huge shout out to Tina Gammon, on your Marketing Team, as she made sure I was sent all 3 of your Qualia Senolytics (for Vision, Night and Mind). I tried the NIGHT one for optimized sleep, and now I'm someone who measures everything and sleep is one of my weakest links, but I had the craziest, most vivid dreams and definitely felt recharged when I woke up. I took the MIND one before my day began, and I'm someone who also logs my levels of CLARITY on a weekly basis (Brendon Burchard would like this done daily) but I did notice an usual surge of clarity. Is this something you've heard of before? Is it usual to notice something like I did the VERY next day? What do most people notice? What about the VISION one? Did you consult with Dr. Huberman with his expertise here on Ophthalmology? I wear contacts and am finally ready for laser eye surgery…should I hold off on using this one till I finish messing around with my eyesight? Q8: What makes Qualia Senolytic a groundbreaking supplement in the longevity space? Q9: As we wrap up and close out this episode, what's one thing that you hope our listeners will take away from this episode on your work over the years, senolytic cells, Neurohacker Collective, and what we can do to optimize our health and longevity at the cellular level? Thank you, Dr. Kelly, for coming on the podcast. I was so excited to meet you, dive deeper into this topic and think about how I'm going to implement this ground-breaking product into my day.  For people who want to try your Qualia Senolytics, I was thrilled to see that your team created an affiliate link and coupon code for our audience:    CLICK ON THE LINK IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY QUALIA SENOLYTICS https://neurohacker.com/shop/qualia-senolytic?rfsn=7305328.843217 Code: NEUROSCIENCE (good for 15% off purchase).

Fabio Favoretto is a postdoc at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the chief scientist responsible for monitoring and tracking illegal fishing and other activity within the remote Revillagigedo Archipelago.This archipelago is a group of four volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, known for their unique ecosystem. They lie approximately 458 kilometers (285 mi) from Socorro Island south and southwest of Cabo San Lucas, the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and boast some of the highest rates of species diversity in the Eastern Pacific. In this episode, Fabio and I talk about the tropicalization of the eastern pacific waters, species migration, and I get to learn about Fabio's UN-backed initiative called Atlas Aquatica, a program to establish safe diving areas within protected waters.  Fabio is Italian and against his wishes, I get him on the record regarding his true hot-button issue, pineapple on pizza. Support the show

“And so many people don't pay attention to the sound that they are exposing themselves to. And, like, whenever you go to, I want to say, a large restaurant, high action, high volume, and you have to yell at the person next to you, and you have to yell your order to the server. And then finally, whenever you walk outside of the restaurant, you're finished, grab hold of yourself, you feel better because all that noise is gone. But you're thinking ‘oh, I just came out of the restaurant, so the food must have been good. We must have had a good time.'” -- Alan R. Brunton My next guest is the founder of Cymatrax Inc. He's been immersed in music for a long time and has owned and operated Allegro Data Systems, a company that archived magnetic tape recordings and remastered recordings for such clients as Southern Methodist University and Scripps Institute of Oceanography. His diverse background also includes producing a television program, being a restaurant consultant, and business administration. Now he studies epigenetics, consciousness, and quantum physics. He's focused on sound and the use of cymatics and has developed a software application to reduce stress in people's lives and raise the human potential. His name is Alan R. Brunton, and you won't want to miss all the twists and turns in this discussion.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Christmas MelodiesAs the episode starts, Alan tells us about his earliest memory of sound and shares a heartwarming Christmas story with a surprise twist that ended up being thirty years in the making. We go on to talk about how his father's life as an inventor helped guide his own path. "I just decided," Alan says, "that I needed to challenge myself to look at and do the hardest thing that had to do with music." He credits his family's reputation for ingenuity and determination for inspiring him to find new ways of seeing the world and new uses for some of the things in our lives that we might take for granted. "That's the way I was raised," he explains, "into 'okay this is made for this, but how else can you use it?'" Music of the MindAlan tells us about cymatics and the relationship between audio frequencies, neurochemistry, and the human mind. “We understand in epigenetics,” he says, “that every single cell has receptors, and those receptors are influenced by four environmental influences: chemical, heat, light, and sound.” He explains how reducing noise pollution and adjusting the audio frequencies of a given sound can have dramatic effects on the brain, and the research he's done with the University of New England on audio treatments for PTSD and autism. “Their head of research,” he says, “is going to be helping us with so many more grant proposals and submissions so that we can actually do clinical trials.” Everything Slows Down“The brain is much more capable and competent,” Alan reminds us as the interview continues, “than what we give it credit for.” He explains how what we call white noise in digital audio is actually filled with random audio frequencies, and how, just like a computer, the brain can struggle with trying to handle too much data at once. “And that's exactly what is in digital audio,” he explains, “with all of these...

Flood warnings in parts of California have seen some of the state's best known celebrities flee their homes. The current weather conditions are in part the result of ‘Atmospheric rivers' – literally fast flowing rivers of water vapor in the atmosphere. Marty Ralph from the Scripps Institute has been studying this phenomenon for years, he explains what atmospheric rivers are, and tells us how a greater understanding of the phenomenon is now informing weather forecasting and evacuation plans. Over the past year several million people have fled Ukraine, amongst them many scientists. Nataliya Shulga from the Ukraine Science Club is working on a wide ranging initiative to attract them back. She tells us of plans not just to reconstruct Ukrainian science facilities after the war, but to offer a philosophical change which breaks with the Soviet past - a more global, collaborative environment for scientists returning to the Ukraine. Last December the Afghan Taliban banned women from attending university, its just one of the many moves denying education to women since the Taliban returned to power. Particle physicist Kate Shaw had been working with Afghan physicists in the years before the Taliban's comeback, she is now developing an initiative with scientists and institutions around the world to offer places to Afghan women keen to study physics. She says institutions and individuals who may be able to help should contact Physics without Frontiers at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. And Gibbons sing with synchronicity, a new study led by Teresa Raimondi, from the University of Turin shows the ability of couples to chorus together to be rather human like. When CrowdScience listener Eric spotted a few gnats flying around on a milder day in mid-winter it really surprised him - Eric had assumed they just died out with the colder weather. It got him wondering where the insects had come from, how they had survived the previous cold snap and what the implications of climate change might be for insect over-wintering behaviour? So he asked CrowdScience to do some bug investigation. CrowdScience presenter Marnie Chesterton takes up the challenge and heads out into the British countryside – currently teeming with buzzes and eight legged tiny beasties - to learn about the quite amazing array of tactics these small creatures use to survive the arduous days of cold. She hears how some insects change their chemical structure to enhance their frost resistance whist others hanker down in warmer microclimates or rely on their community and food stocks to keep them warm. But cold isn't the only climatic change insects have to endure, in the tropics the seasons tend to fluctuate more around wet and dry so what happens then? Marnie talks with a Kenyan aquatic insect expert who describes how mosquitoes utilise the rains and shares his worry climate change could have a big impact on insect populations.

This week, I'm so excited to introduce you to Dr. Andrew Benedek!    Dr. Benedek began his career as a professor at McMaster University in Canada before leaving academia to tackle water pollution. He did this by founding Zenon, which became the global leader in technology for recycling water.   After Zenon was acquired by GE in 2006, Dr. Benedek worked briefly at the Scripps Institute of Technology in San Diego, California, where he became interested in finding solutions to climate change. To further his newfound mission, he founded Anaergia in 2007. Anaergia has since become a world leader in recovery solutions for a cleaner, greener planet.   I previously had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Benedek for an article in Brainz Magazine, and I know you are going to learn so much from him today.   In this episode, we'll explore: Dr. Benedek's powerful backstory and his beginnings of facing challenges head on The impact he is making in the world through his work on climate change Where we can look for hope that our efforts to create change will work How we can all make a difference in our world  More from Dr. Benedek Website: https://www.anaergia.com/  Our interview in Brainz, The Climate Crisis And How Human Creativity Is The Solution  More from Tricia  Amplify your voice in 2023 with The Big Talk New Year Workbook Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com 

Summary: The vaquita lives in the most biodiverse body of water on the planet! Join Kiersten as she take you on a journey through the Sea of Cortez.   For my hearing impaired listeners, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes:  https://www.nmmf.org/marine-mammal/vaquita-porpoise/ https://www.britannica.com/place/Gulf-of-California https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1182 “Birth of an Ocean” by Annie Reisewitz: https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/birth-ocean https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/totoaba https://porpoise.org/save-the-vaquita/ https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/dolphin_porpoise.html Vaquita Conservation Organizations Porpoise.org   Transcript   (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.    This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it.   This episode continues the vaquita and the second thing I like about the vaquita is their habitat!   Now, the vaquita is only found in one place on Earth and that is the Sea of Cortez also known as the Gulf of California. This gulf is surrounded by land with the northwestern Mexican states of Sonora, Sinaloa, and Nayarit on the eastern side of the water and the mountainous peninsula of Baja California on the west side. The bottom of the gulf opens into the Pacific Ocean. There are 244 islands in the Gulf of California. The unique geographical characteristics of this area make it a perfect region for isolated habitats that are ideal for hosting endemic species. Endemic species by definition are species that are evolutionarily native to a specific area. There is a total of 160,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of California.     The vaquita only lives in 2235 square kilometers of this area. That's smaller than the state of Rhode Island. Vaquitas favor the shallow lagoons about 25 kilometers or 16 miles off shore in the northern portion of the gulf. They prefer water only 10 to 28 meters or 33 to 92 feet deep where the water is warm. I have to admit I like warmer water too!   The vaquita is the only porpoise that chooses to live in warm water. This is probably why their adult size is so small and why their dorsal fin is large in comparison to their body. The large dorsal fin most likely helps dissipate heat. Please listen to the first episode of my vaquita series, if you have not yet done so, to find out more about the physical characteristics of the vaquita.   We don't know why they choose warmer waters when all other porpoises prefer cooler water,    but what we do know is what the waters of the Sea of Cortez are like and from this we can make an educated guess about why this particular area appeals to this small porpoise.   The Sea of Cortez is an area teeming with aquatic life. After thousands of years of run-off from the Colorado River, life-supporting nutrients have built up on the bottom of this body of water. Strong currents stir up these nutrients and many species of animals take advantage of that.   In this natural inlet, there are 23 priority sites for marine biodiversity, 42 priority sites for terrestrial biodiversity, and 62 priority sites for bird conservation. Dubbed as the “Aquarium of the World” by Jaques Cousteau, the Gulf of California is recognized as an area of global marine conservation significance. Five of the seven existing species of sea turtle are found in the Sea of Cortez. It is home to 891 different fish species, 90 of them are endemic. It also contains 40% of the world's total number of species of marine mammal. 40 sea lion colonies are spread throughout the area with an estimated population of over 30,000 individuals. And 1/3 of the world's marine cetacean species can be found here at some time throughout their lives. There is even a healthy coral reef community off the coast of the seaside town of Cabo Pulmo. It is considered the only coral reef at such a high latitude in the Pacific Ocean.    Another remarkable fact about the Sea of Cortez is that almost all major oceanographic processes occurring in Earth's oceans are present in this body of water. Oceanographic processes are defined on the USGS website as recurrent natural changes that are physical, biological, or chemical, actively affecting the the seas and oceans. In the Sea of Cortez sediment runoff from the land occurs depositing minerals into the water, this area is also still actively expanding essentially creating a new ocean, turbulent tides and currents mix up the sediments from both expansion and runoff.  Of course not all sediment from runoff is good but this area has been protected as an important natural refuge since 1995.    The sea floor below the gulf is actually made up of 2 types of crust, oceanic and continental. This combination creates a unique environment where marine mammals can thrive. The bay is an underwater marvel with 4,000 foot deep submarine canyons, enormous underwater mountains, and hydrothermal vents crawling with life. The hydrothermal vents were discovered about 50 years ago, and in 2008 biologists from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography documented marine animals previously never seen alive. All of this activity makes the Sea of Cortez the most biologically rich body of water on the planet. It's no wonder that this is where the vaquita calls home.   Being a porpoise, the vaqutia are toothed mammals. Their teeth are spade-shaped   and flat, so they kinda look like the head of a shovel. They are perfect teeth for eating fish, squid, and even crab or lobster. We've actually found 17 different species of fish in the stomach of one vaquita. They are not terribly picky about who they eat and what a perfect place to live with so many species of fish found in the Gulf of California!   Now, as many of you know, when something has this much biodiversity it attracts more than just animas in nature, it also attracts humans. Many of the animals that live in and around the water make for good eating for humans. This means fishing occurs in the area. If it was just a few humans fishing for their daily dinner this wouldn't be a problem. Even if it was the local town fishing to provide food for everyone that lived there, it wouldn't be a problem. But humans rarely take only what they need for themselves, sadly, we are often motivated by how much profit can be made from a natural resource. This has put the vaquita in danger. I will focus another episode on the conservation status of the vaquita, but I'd like to touch on one of the fish in the area that our overfishing of has impacted the vaquita population, as well as, the fish itself.   The totoaba fish are found in the same exact area of the gulf as the vaquita. This fish can be 200 pounds and reach a length of 6.5 feet. It's scientific name is Totoaba macdonaldi. It is considered a drum fish but it is the only fish classified in the Totoaba genus. What does that mean? There is no other fish like them on the planet.   The totoaba is endemic to the Gulf of California where it spawns each year in the Colorado River Delta. This fish is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act because it has been overfished for entirely too long. Large fish, such as the totoaba, typically take many years to reach sexual maturity. When we fish for them, we often want the largest specimens and those are the ones that are sexually mature, which removes the individuals that will create the next generation from the environment.     What is it that makes this fish so sought after? Their swim bladder. This is the organ in a fish that allows the fish to control its buoyancy. The totoaba's swim bladder is used in traditional Chinese medicine. They dry it out and use it in a soup called fish maw. This is a pretty big swim bladder, when dried it is about the size of a laptop computer. Why do the Chinese want it? It is believed to boost fertility.    How exactly is this impacting the vaquita. The adults of this species are not something the vaquita would eat because they are larger than the small porpoise. The problem comes with the fishing method. Most fisherman that commercially fish for totoaba want to catch as many as possible and; therefore, use gill nets. Gill nets are cast out and catch whatever they catch,  they are not a targeted fishing method. Vaquita get caught in the nest and cannot surface to get air and die. Because of overfishing of the totoaba, the vaquita are also incredibly endangered.   I hope you all enjoyed this trip to the Sea of Cortez because it is my second favorite thing about the vaquita.    Please visit porpoise.org to find out even more about the vaquita and the totoaba and discover what you can do to help these unique animals.   Join me next week for another ten-minute episode focusing on the vaquita.    (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

In this episode of the Knowledge to Action series, host Jen Whitelaw is joined by Theresa Talley, Scientist and Extension Specialist at California Sea Grant. Theresa talks about using science to advance the field of ecology, address coastal environmental issues, train tomorrow's leaders, and raise awareness of our local ecosystems. She talks more with Jen about how Sea Grant bridges the gap between academia and policy, the four main pillars behind Sea Grant's mission, and how we can strengthen our community connection to coastal resources and education. Theresa also talks about the future of San Diego's coastline, and what we can do to help provide safe and sustainable access to all.   Timestamps: [2:11] California Sea Grant is a collaboration between NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the state of California. [2:56] Theresa gives a brief history of the Sea Grant program and its relationship to Scripps Institute of Oceanography. [4:47] Sea Grant has four main roles: Issuing grants and funding for research Education Extension Communication [6:58] Theresa discusses Sea Grant's commitment to sustainable seafood systems and aquaculture, and to making sure a diversity of species is harvested. [9:36] Theresa talks about Sea Grant's work in the social and economic well-being of communities in California, and the education and fellowship opportunities. [18:23] How do social justice and access issues play into Sea Grant's mission? [20:55] What does sea level rise look like now and in the future for our region? [23:26] What can we do to become more resilient along the coast? [29:17] Many organisms use the kelp forests not just for food, but also for habitat structure. [33:09] Theresa gives her advice to those looking to become more involved.   About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges. In founding C-3 almost 60 years ago, architect Lloyd Ruocco's vision was to bring together our region's most creative minds from the arts, sciences, academia, and government to share ideas, learn new perspectives, and build fellowship around the idea of creating livable communities.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org California Sea Grant California Collaborative Fisheries Program

Andrew Benedek is the Chairman and CEO of Anaergia. Before founding Anaergia, he was a professor at McMaster University and the Founder, CEO, and Chairman of ZENON, where he developed cost-effective membrane technologies for recycling wastewater. Under his leadership, ZENON invented, developed, and commercialized many of the key membrane technologies used for water and wastewater treatment and became a global leader in this field. In June of 2006, ZENON was sold to General Electric Company for $790 million. Andrew then worked for Scripps Institute of Technology in San Diego where he furthered his interest in climate change.  He received his chemical engineering degree from McGill University in Montreal and his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Washington in Seattle with a focus in wastewater treatment. In 2008, he was chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Lee Kuan Yew Prize, a prestigious award for contributions to solving water problems. In this episode… Climate change is no small matter, so how can we focus on net zero when fossil fuels keep increasing? Is it possible for things to change? Advocacy and education are crucial pieces of the environmental puzzle. While advances are being made, 75% of the energy we use comes from fossil fuel. Andrew Benedek focuses on the creation of renewable natural gas. He wants to take the impact that organic waste has on the atmosphere and turn it into fuel. This can help future generations fight climate change and make the earth more sustainable.  In this episode of Access To Anyone, Michael Roderick sits down with Andrew Benedek, Chairman and CEO of Anaergia, to discuss the complexity of fighting and reversing climate change. Andrew talks about how research and education can create an impact, the governmental requirements at home and abroad, and empowering future generations with necessary tools. 

In this episode of the American Blue Economy Podcast, our host Rear Admiral, Tim Gallaudet, PhD, US Navy (ret) interviews Dr. Kate Musemeche to discuss her book Lethal Tides: Mary Sears and the Marine Scientists Who Helped Win World War II. Drawing on prior episodes that explored the influence of the U.S. Navy and oceanography on the blue economy, we examine how ocean science and blue tech have helped the U.S. Navy, and that many spinoffs from this contribute to our ocean and coastal economies. This is a special show in that Rear Admiral Gallaudet, as a former Oceanographer of the Navy, uncovers in Dr. Musemech's book the story of the very first Oceanographer of the Navy in modern times, a Navy WAVE Lieutenant Junior Grade named Mary Sears. The show also highlights the wartime contributions of Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, whose representatives have been on several prior episodes.

People with high uric acid levels have an increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.  There's a relationship between these diseases and uric acid.  Uric acid directly leads to insulin resistance.  [19:30] Your Body Is Retaining Uric Acid As A Survival Mechanism   We tend to retain uric acid. Our uric acid levels can be higher as a survival mechanism, thanks to our primate ancestors. We don't hibernate for six months. Therefore, we don't need to be storing this fat for the winter that never comes.  88% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy. Getting Covid is associated with a 40 to 60% increased risk of type two diabetes. Individuals with higher uric acid levels have a higher risk of dying from Covid.  [25:10] Your Body Can't Handle More Than Five Grams of Fructose At A Time Your body can handle some fructose, about five grams at a time.  When your body is presented with high levels of fructose, it overwhelms what the body can do.  When fructose is delivered in the context of fiber, it slows the absorption. So, it's better to eat an apple than drink apple juice.  Vitamin C aids in uric acid excretion.  The most common way to overdo fructose consumption is by drinking fruit juice.  A 12-ounce glass of orange juice might have 30 grams of sugar. There's no way the body will be able to deal with that appropriately.  [35:30] Tart Cherries As A Remedy For Gout and Lowering Uric Acid Levels  Tart cherries have been researched for decades. Originally, tart cherries have been looked upon as a remedy for gout.  It has been noted that people who ate cherries would have fewer gout flare-ups.  Tart cherries are pretty darn effective in lowering uric acid levels.  [36:40] The Health Benefits of Drinking Coffee  Drinking coffee is associated with a dramatically lowered risk of Alzheimer's. Coffee is also associated with lower uric acid levels.  Plus, coffee reduces inflammation, upregulates antioxidant function, and improves detoxification in the body.  Also, coffee helps us grow new brain cells, no matter our age.  [41:45] The Relationship Between Animal-Based Protein and The Role of Uric Acid Fiber is so essential for human health. Most of Dr. Perlmutter's food is plant-based.  Regarding our uric acid story, certain meats or animal products are worse than others. Organ meats, sardines, anchovies, and scallops can raise your uric acid levels.  The most significant issues for uric acid are fructose, purines, and alcohol.  [48:20] Should I Follow A Ketogenic Lifestyle If I Have Gout Attacks?  The most significant player in gout is fructose.  When you research how to fix gout, there will be no talk about removing sugar or fructose from your diet.  The human requirement for sugar in our diets is zero grams per day.  We subsidize the growth of corn from which high fructose corn syrup comes from. We are supporting the diseases that are sucking up our healthcare resources. Diseases are significant money makers for the healthcare industry.  It's time we start thinking about prevention.  [52:25] What Role Does Mental-Emotional Stress Play With Uric Acid Levels? When we are experiencing stress, our ability to make rational, forward-thinking decisions is compromised. When your decision-making is compromised, you won't be making good lifestyle choices.  Therefore, under stress, you will eat more foods that have sugar.  Eventually, you will raise uric acid levels and feed the flame of poor metabolic health. It is time to make better decisions by lowering your stress levels.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. David Perlmutter's Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Follow Dr. Perlmutter  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidPerlmutterMd Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidperlmutter YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DavidPerlmutterMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Get Dr. Perlmutter's Books: https://www.drperlmutter.com/learn/books/ Grain Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Grain-Brain-Surprising-Sugar-Your-Killers/dp/0316485136/benazadi-20 Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health: Uric Acid testing device: https://amzn.to/3yjeP8Q https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Acid-Surprising-Controlling-Extraordinary/dp/0316315397/benazadi-20 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Today I have the honor of reconnecting with Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr. Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. He joined me once before on episode 141: Reclaim your Brain, and we spoke about his book, Brainwash. He is with me today to talk about his newest book, Drop Acid, which focuses on the role of uric acid, fructose, metabolism, and metabolic health.  In the wonderful work he does, Dr. Perlmutter brings to light how our diets profoundly impact our metabolic health and metabolic markers and talks about the many changes we can make regarding our food choices and the supplements we use. In this episode, we have a mind-blowing conversation! Dr. Perlmutter dives into how our bodies process uric acid, the impact of alcohol and fructose consumption, and how our metabolic health is worsening due to our current dietary choices. We talk about how high fructose corn syrup impairs insulin and leptin production signaling which translates into no satiety. We discuss the impact of metabolic health on brain function, resulting in one in every ten people older than sixty-five having Alzheimer's. We also explain how obesity impacts cognitive and behavioral health and talk about how we can prevent all of those problems. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Perlmutter gives examples of illnesses in the group of chronic degenerative diseases that the World Health Organization tells us are the number one cause of death on our planet. He highlights the importance of identifying their causes. The role of uric acid in human survival. Dr. Perlmutter shares some frightening statistics regarding the health of American adults and children and explains how bad lifestyle choices are threatening our ability to live a long and healthy life.  What is uric acid, where does it come from, and how are we getting it into our diets?  When we gain control of uric acid and combine it with healthy lifestyle choices, it can become a powerful tool, influence us positively, and help us regain and maintain our health. The difference between high fructose corn syrup and fructose in fruit. What does uric acid do in the body? The impact of fructose and uric acid on the brain. Why do high levels of salt consumption relate to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension? What does uric acid do that is threatening to our physical health? The fundamental importance of following a plant-based diet. Doctors can use a tape measure to measure people's risk of developing dementia. Why do c-section babies have an increased risk of developing metabolic issues? Dr. Perlmutter talks about his LUV (Lower Uric Values) program, designed to help people reduce their uric acid levels.  Bio: Dr. Perlmutter received his M.D. degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine, where he was awarded the Leonard G. Rowntree Research Award.

Prebiotics and probiotics. Fecal microbiota transplants. Optimizing a diet personalized to you. These microbiome-themed topics are all around us in the media, but microbiome research remains a fairly nascent field of study and wasn't on many people's radars even 10 years ago. UCSD Professor Dr. Jack Gilbert and Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) Assistant Professor Dr. Sean Gibbons came together to tackle this exciting area of research. What have we learned over the past few years? What has gone well, and what could we do better? The two discussed some exciting developments on the horizon and share when they think people might see microbiome-based technologies in their daily lives. Dr. Jack A. Gilbert is a Professor of Microbial Oceanography in the Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and holds a joint appointment in the Department of Pediatrics in UCSD School of Medicine. Dr. Gilbert is also cofounder of the Earth Microbiome Project and American Gut Project, has authored more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters on microbial ecology, and is the founding Editor in Chief of mSystems journal. He has been recognized on Crain's Business Chicago's “40 Under 40 List,” listed as one of the 50 most influential scientists by Business Insider, and was named as one of the “Brilliant Ten” by Popular Scientist. He is the co-author of Dirt is Good, a popular science guide to the microbiome and children's health. Dr. Sean Gibbons is Assistant Professor at ISB. He holds a Ph.D. in biophysical sciences from the University of Chicago; his graduate work focused on using microbial communities as empirical models for testing ecological theory. Gibbons completed his postdoctoral training in Eric Alm's laboratory in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT, where his work focused on developing techniques to quantify individual-specific eco-evolutionary dynamics within the human gut microbiome. He is particularly interested in learning how organisms in the human gut change and adapt to individual people over their lifespans, and how those changes impact health.

Dr. Debbie Chen has many roles in life: parent, founder, advocate, scientist…and Muay Thai fighter. It was in her role as a fighter that she faced the personal struggle of hydrating properly for her sport. The rule of thumb 8-glasses-of-water-a-day is just a guess and not one that works for all. Armed with a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Tufts University, Dr. Chen set out to solve the problem and build a business around hydration monitoring. Her company, Hydrostasis, was granted a patent in January 2021. Starting any company is a hard thing. As a female founder, it's even harder because of the lack of access to capital and to potential investors. In 2019, female founders received 2% of venture capital funding in the US. For context, one male-founded company, Quibi, which shutdown in 2020, raised $1.7 billion – more than the entire funding for all female-founded companies. In this episode of What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw, Dr. Chen describes her journey from a life in research labs to fighting in the ring to creating a company and searching for funding. Along with founding Hydrostasis, Dr. Chen has served as an Entrepreneur in Residence at the University of California San Diego, a Scientist at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, and Post-Doctoral Research Scientist at Scripps Institute of Oceanography and UCSD. She is a tireless advocate for underrepresented company founders and women leaders. What I Wish I Knew with Mike Irwin & Simon Daw... Life and career rarely go to plan. Breakthroughs happen on the ragged edge when things aren't quite going as expected. What I Wish I Knew podcast hosts Mike Irwin and Simon Daw explore lessons learned by leading athletes, creators, entrepreneurs, leaders, and difference makers. They all have three things in common: none are perfect, all are humble, and they've learned a few things along the way. In What I Wish I Knew, they share their lessons with you. http://www.whatiwishiknewshow.com Contact Dr. Debbie Chen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dkchen/ https://hydrostasis.com/

Moving COVID-19 patients from one ICU to another is possible thanks to transportation ventilators. In the second of two episodes on ventilators, James Di Virgilio talks to Dr. Richard Melker, Professor Emeritus of Anesthesiology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. He holds over 25 issued U.S. patents including several for emergency medical devices in use throughout the world, and by the US Special Forces. TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:00 Welcome to a special two-part edition of Radio Cade . We’ll be discussing COVID-19 and ventilators. In part one, we visit with Dr. Sem Lampotang. And in part two, we visit with Dr. Richard Melker. We hope you enjoy the program. Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade a podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade , who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. James Di Virgilio: 0:54 Welcome to a special episode of Radio Cade. I’m your host, James Di Virgilio. Today we’re going to be covering mechanical ventilation and its effect on the COVID-19 crisis. Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving therapy that is used extensively and modern intensive care units. The origins of modern mechanical ventilation can be traced back five centuries ago to the seminal work of Andreas Vasilis really the founder of modern human anatomy. Joining the program now is Dr. Richard Melker. We just had him on the show very recently. He is the professor emeritus at the Department of Anesthesiology at the UF College of Medicine. We touched on ventilators last time you were with us Dr. Melker, COVID-19 had not taken off yet like it is now. We want to talk with you about ventilators. I know you have a story about how you got interested in them. Welcome to the show. And tell us a little bit about that story. Dr. Richard Melker: 1:49 Well, thank you. Yeah, I think using a chronological order will allow people to understand how we got to the sophisticated ventilators we have today, and also as to why we don’t have enough of them. So I went to medical school and graduated in 1974 and did my residency in pediatrics at a hospital in Los Angeles called Harbor General Hospital. It’s now called Harbor UCLA Medical Center, but most people would never recognize the name of the hospital, but the hospital had another name called Rampart General. And Rampart General was a hospital used in a TV show called The Emergency. And back in the days, when I was doing my residency at Harvard General Hospital, they were filming this show and using my hospital as where the patients were taken by ambulance. And I was doing my residency and realize that when the paramedics came in, they really had no understanding about children. So I went to the chairman of my department and I said, you know, Los Angeles County has one of the best EMS systems in the United States. It was one of 12 systems that was a paramedic system at the time. And I said, if I can spend some time with them, I would like to write some material that they could use for training paramedics on how to care for children. And my chairman was all for it. So every Friday at 12 o’clock, I would leave the hospital and I would go to ride with the paramedics for the rest of the day. And the fire station that they were using on television was actually the fire station that I worked out of with the paramedics. And by the time I completed my residency and was ready to move to Florida, I had written a textbook some information on how paramedics should care for children. And so I had filled a gap that one wouldn’t think needed to be filled, but it was very clear that it was because this information was shared around the United States. So I came to the University of Florida in 1977, and I did a fellowship. And during that fellowship, which means I was already a licensed physician and I spent two additional years doing pediatric cardiology and critical care medicine. And I was fortunate enough at the University of Florida to work in the critical care division with some of the most brilliant faculty who were developers of some of the original ventilators that were used, both for adults and for children. And when I completed that fellowship, obviously I knew a lot more about ventilators. And when I started and I became the medical director of the Alachua County EMS system, and I started riding on the ambulance with the crews, or I would carry a radio and I would meet them at the scene of an accident or whatever the medical issue was. And what I realized was that on the way to the hospital, they were ventilating patients. And I’ll describe ventilation in a moment. I’ll define it for you. They were ventilating in patients with what was called the demand valve. And basically many of your listeners would be familiar with a lot of demand valves like scuba gear. When you want to take a breath, you breathe in and the valve gives you as much air compressed air as you need. And when you’re filling your lungs with air, then you exhale. And the valve closes so that it’s not wasting gas. And you’re only using the gas when you need it. Another example of a demand valve is a fireman where these face masks, which have a demand valve built into them so that they can go into a fire and their faces are covered and they’re breathing air from a cylinder. And so they’re not breathing in all the toxic fumes and everything. So anyway, the demand valve that was used for all these other applications had been modified so that you could use it to ventilate a patient. So what are you trying to do when you have a patient who’s not breathing on their own or breathing inadequately? What you’re trying to do is to push gas into their lungs. And in order to do that, you have to use a pressure higher than the ambient pressure. So you push the button on the demand valve and it forces oxygen into their lungs. And when they exhale outcomes the carbon dioxide, that’s building up in their blood. So when you ventilate somebody, you give them oxygen under pressure. And then they usually passively the lung recoils and outcomes, the carbon dioxide. So that’s what a ventilator does. And a ventilator is different than a respirator. And the terminology right now is getting very confused. Respirators are devices that the user is breathing normally, and either it filters the air or serve some other purpose, but it’s driven by the normal breathing pattern of the patient who’s using it. So when you and I are breathing like, while we’re talking, now I take a breath in and the pressure inside my chest is lower than the sea level pressure that we’re at. And therefore a gas goes into my lungs and that requires muscles, the respiratory muscles for that gas to get into my lungs. The gas comes out when you stop breathing in because the chest wall and the muscles recoil and the gas comes out. So a respirator is a device where the user is breathing in and out. Now a ventilator is a device that does exactly the opposite if using positive pressure forces gas into the lungs of the patient, and then they exhale. So some people say you inhale and you exhale. And other people use the older terminology where you’re really then is inspiration. But unfortunately when you breathe out, it’s expiration. So you’re expiring. And with what’s going on now, and other terms we went to inhalation and exhalation because of the poor connotation of the word expired . So I’m now at the University of Florida. And I I’m looking at these devices that the paramedics are using. And I was fortunate to have many colleagues, like I said earlier, who had a lot of background in the development of ventilators. As a matter of fact, some of our faculty helped develop the baby bird, which in early 1960s was the first ventilator designed specifically for neonates and these people at the time were in the military. And they developed the baby bird with a scientist and aviator by the name of Forest Bird. So anyway, one of my colleagues, a respiratory physiologist , and I went into the laboratory and studied how this demand valve that they were using on the ambulances works . And what we found is that when you push the button, it would drive gas into the stomach because the resistance to the gas was lower into the stomach than it wasn’t to the lungs. And another problem with it is that it had a peak pressure because everybody was afraid of over pressurizing the lungs. So as you push the button and the pressure went up, the flow of gas would go down. And so it became very apparent that what was needed in what’s called the prehospital arena or the military theater was a ventilator that worked just like the ventilators that we were using in the hospitals. And so with a number of colleagues and I, we developed and actually produce a number of portable ventilators, which is generically called transport ventilators. And so we spent the next couple of years writing papers and doing the research and looking at different transport ventilators. And we liked to believe that we helped advance the development of more and more sophisticated transport ventilators. James Di Virgilio: 11:03 So with regards to transport ventilators, we can look at this like other ventilators your innovation story from start to finish, you said was several years, correct? Dr. Richard Melker: 11:13 Correct. James Di Virgilio: 11:14 Okay. Where we are now with regards to ventilation, let’s bridge these stories, and we just talked with Dr. Lampotang and he was saying that the FDA of course, is relaxing some restrictions that exist, that I’m sure you were facing fully when creating your transport ventilator to allow for these new designs to come into play. So in the arena of ventilation, the question everyone is asking is why don’t we have enough ventilators. They’re academic studies that are from the early two thousands that suggest that in a surge situation, we won’t have enough of them. Hospitals could not possibly afford to have all the $50,000 ventilators, but they could have cheaper solutions on hand in the event that this happens. So why do think we haven’t done that? And should we have even done that in the first place? Maybe we should have waited until we had an event. What are the answers, I guess, to these medical innovation questions when it comes to crisis predictable crisis maybe? Not really sure. Dr. Richard Melker: 12:07 So, as you’ve mentioned, the ventilators that are being used in the hospitals to care for these patients are extremely sophisticated. The permutations and combinations of settings on these ventilators are mind boggling. And these are extremely expensive devices because they have electronics in them. And they have a lot of other features and they’re made in relatively small numbers as we have unfortunately become aware of. And so when we started working on transport ventilators, we actually had companies come to us that were contracted with the military to develop ventilators for use in the battlefield scenario. And I know of ventilators that some of those companies made for the military exclusively, which I am sure in the right patients would be more than adequate to ventilate them in the hospital. Now, one of the interesting things that we’re learning and most of this information is coming from Italy because unfortunately they were severely hit by the virus and undermanned to care for the tremendous number of patients that they saw. But the lung injury that we’re seeing with the COVID-19 virus is very different than the lung injuries that we normally use these highly sophisticated ventilators for, and I’m not doing clinical research anymore, but it would seem to me that because this lung injury is different and it doesn’t require some of the high pressures and sophisticated techniques that are used in the intensive care units, that some of these ventilators would actually be excellent ventilators for the properly chosen patients. As a matter of fact, the doctors in Italy assumed that the lung injury was similar to what they had normally encountered during their practice. And they initially set up the ventilators so that they could treat these patients. And they found that the patients were doing very poorly. So some very good scientists who were also clinicians did some studies using CT scanning and showed that when they set up the ventilator to ventilate these patients with the normal settings that they were using, they were over inflating the lungs. And what happens when you’re over inflate , the lungs, your heart can’t push blood through your lungs. And so one of the major findings that the Italians found and obviously is now well known everywhere. They’re treating patients with COVID-19 is that you don’t have to what they call positive end expiratory pressure. In other words, you don’t need a lot of pressure to keep the lung from collapsing. And as a matter of fact had deleterious effects on the patients. James Di Virgilio: 15:04 Very interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen even a single article yet that has talked about that in detail with regards to that, which to me immediately raises another question. In my professional life, I’m an investor. And all my years of studying have led me to believe that predicting things as humans is often a fool’s errand, we think we know the solution to something we say here’s variable, A and variable B, variable C will be this, which then creates something called a three body problem. For those of you listeners who enjoy things like that, where you really don’t know what the third variable is going to be. So oftentimes in my life, I’ve found that reacting quickly tends to be the best way to handle something. What you’re saying is interesting. Here’s a different situation. Although we could have predicted a surge event, maybe we would have spent a lot of money building ventilators that wouldn’t necessarily work , or in your case, we actually already have ventilators that you were saying solve this problem. Now the question is producing them. So with your ventilator specifically, is it difficult to get the parts to make your ventilator? Now, if you had to mass produce your ventilator, could it be done or is there not enough supply of those parts? Dr. Richard Melker: 16:10 So there’s several answers to your question. Number one, there are a couple of companies that have mass produced ventilators for the military, and I’ve not kept up with them. In other words, when they were developing those ventilators and wanted to know what features had to be in those ventilators for use by the military, that’s where we were involved. But I’ve actually met with the president of the company a couple of years ago at a special forces meeting. And they were selling ventilators like crazy to the military. And I personally believe that those ventilators have features in them that would make them more than adequate to care for many of the patients with COVID-19. So I don’t know how many of those ventilators the military has stockpiled, but you asked the second question, which is equally as important. So, these sophisticated ventilators, and even these less sophisticated transport ventilators or field ventilators have lots of parts of them. And we can tell every company in the United States to start making ventilators, but there are only a certain number of the key parts for those ventilators. And so right now, and I’ve spoken to several people. In other words, there are chat rooms and a lot of different ways that I keep up with my colleagues who are still doing research on ventilators and parts has become a real problem. So, I’ll just give you one little anecdote. When I was at the University of Florida doing my fellowship, we wanted to transport patients from other facilities to our facility. And there was a brilliant respiratory therapist by the name of Paul Blanche. And he went and built a ventilator. And because it was a one off, it did not have to go through FDA certification. We’ll just skip that whole story. And he built a couple of Blanchlater. And when the helicopters service came into being at the University of Florida, we would transport patients from other facilities to our facility using the Blanchlater. Now the Blanchlater’s a little box, you know , size of a shoe box. The ventilators that they using in the hospitals weigh several hundred pounds and they’re huge. And by now you’ve probably seen plenty of pictures of them. So the Blanchlater at our hospital was what we use to move patients from the operating room to the intensive care unit or from the intensive care unit. So you have an MRI done because you can’t bring an MRI machine up to the ICU or from the ICU to a CT scan. So, our hospital had a Blanchlater, a couple of them for these unique transport situations. Well, it turns out that Paul’s little ventilator was so good that he formed a company with a gentleman who had been involved in ventilator companies for his whole career. And they started manufacturing this ventilator and went through FDA approvals and everything. And they were selling and are selling a considerable number of these ventilators every year. But they’ve got an order from the government for 10 times that. So, from one day where you’ve got all your parts and everything to build ventilators at the rate that your company is building them to suddenly have to make 10 times or a hundred times that number of ventilators, where are the parts going to come from? Where are the components going to come from? And that has turned out to be part of the issue. So I don’t personally believe telling general motors to make ventilators is going to solve our problem because they have no inventory. What we need to do is have the companies that are making the ventilators maximize, you know, maybe go to three shifts a day, do whatever they have to do to make more ventilators, but it’s getting the components into the companies to assemble into a ventilator. So, you asked the key question , are we going to continue to make $20,000 ventilators, which after this is over, hopefully are gonna sit in storage somewhere, or are we better off looking at some of these other ventilators that are not quite as sophisticated, but require less parts? FDA clearances is a lot simpler. And I don’t really know the answer . When I heard about the ventilator shortage, I just started scratching my head and calling up my colleagues who still are either working with her consult with the companies that make the ventilators. And they said, the problem is parts. The problem isn’t that there aren’t people to make ventilators. The problem that they have identified is that everybody needs parts at the same time. And because these are expensive products and you’re only turnover a few ventilators a year in a hospital. Normally, in other words, over the past, I would say decade or two people have used ventilators a lot longer than they used to so that they don’t have to buy this capital equipment, which is so expensive. So, the one thing that I see missing, or that I haven’t heard about is who are the people looking at the alternatives to $25 – $30,000 ventilators, because I’m sure knowing friends of mine and colleagues who build ventilators, that they don’t have to be that sophisticated and understanding the underlying lung disease created by this virus who had made me believe that you don’t need quite that level of sophistication. James Di Virgilio: 22:24 Well , I think you’re definitely articulating that correctly. Dr. Lampotang was telling us that his ventilator could probably get 60% of the capacity, the ability of , of the $50,000 ventilator. And it costs him $300 to make it. It’s also rather disposable, right? The parts are a hundred total dollars plus other stuff. So hospitals could just throw a part of it away and spend a hundred bucks to get another one. So you don’t have to worry about issues when it comes to the ventilator cleanliness or transmission of disease, interesting stuff. But I think that raises the next question that you’re touching on, which is complicated and it has to do with supply and demand. So why 15 years ago, did we not produce a lot of ventilators? Well, one, you still had the same supply and demand issue. You didn’t have enough supply to make enough of these $50,000 ventilators. And to what you said is also true hospitals, can’t simply outlay lots of capital to buy ventilators because for every ventilator they buy, that’s something else they can’t buy. They have to steward their funds correctly. And only in the event of a surge, would you need even enough of these ventilators? And like we just talked about, you may not even need the Cadillac ventilator. So now what are we to do? If there’s no supply for the ventilators that we know how to make, what happens next, incomes, someone like Dr. Lampotang, in comes someone like you and your story noticing a need, and then fixing that problem, creativity, innovation come in, they take the place of going on, but sort of this rigid structure. Hey GM, Hey 3N, Hey, go make these things seems great. Sounds good. But it’s not really even possible as you are mentioning. And I think the good news is, as you’ve said, continually, especially from a medical perspective, there are other solutions and these other solutions not only work in the U.S. but they can help people across the world that don’t have the same resources we have to hopefully effectively treat their patients. And the transport piece. I want to touch on that because this is interesting, right? We know in New York city, we’ve got an issue. We have all these patients in ICU’s and in hospitals. And if we have to get them from one hospital to the other one, and they’re on ventilation, how do you get them there? In comes the transport device you’re mentioning, if we have enough of these transport devices, Dr. Melker, are we then able to help efficiently spread out our COVID-19 cases to get use of ICU beds and other maybe even States that aren’t being utilized. Is that a realistic transportation alternative? Dr. Richard Melker: 24:40 The answer is clearly, yes. The provisor is can the companies that make those ventilators gear up quickly enough to dramatically increase the number of those ventilators that are available, or are they having the same part problems that we are a lot of our components aren’t even made in the United States anymore. And we all know the story about why that’s happening. Let me give you a little anecdote, which always brought this to my attention right after 9/11, I was starting to work with a company up in Bowling Green, Kentucky to make a detector for a drug that we use for anesthesia. And the original application of that detector was to detect nerve agents. So it was used by the military and developed by a brilliant scientist. And he formed his own company because he couldn’t get anybody to fund it. So he built his own company. I mean, that’s what you call entrepreneurship. So anyway, he was making these detectives for nerve agents for the military. After 9/11, he got called up by the military and was told every component that you need to make these 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So we can have them in the subway systems. We can have them anywhere where nerve agents might be used to kill Americans. You have priority for everything you need. And what he did was put together a list of the components and the companies that were making the components. He went to three shifts and within two months he was shipping a hundred to a thousand times as many of these detectors systems. And they’re still running today in the New York subway system and all over the United States. So that’s what the system is geared to do during a warfare situation. The government can tell people who have components that are needed to protect the American people, that they must supply those components for the good of the country. James Di Virgilio: 27:09 Indeed. And we saw that invoked multiple times this week, really by the president with regards to the dope act, right? And vote on 3N and whether or not you think it’s good for the president to be able to have such a power or not something you’re saying remains true, which again comes down to that wall of supply and demand. And in your story, there were enough supplies to be able to ramp up in the ventilator story if there’s not enough supplies, the beauty of entrepreneurship and human innovation is, creativity allows us to tweak things or find alternative ways to do it, to get maybe almost all the way there, and sometimes even improve the situation that we are in which I think is just an interesting story of people, right? And that comes down to whether you think as a society, we should predict ahead of time, what’s going to happen, stockpile things, or you think, Hey, we can very quickly respond to what’s happening, tactically. And that’s the most efficient way to do it. Those are obviously debates for a different style podcast , but I want to ask you a medical question. Obviously, you think about things. You are the director of EMS, you’ve run departments, hospitals. When this starts happening, COVID-19 comes on board, they’re meeting, they’re getting together. They have disaster plans . What if we have overflow, how much overflow do we have? Where can we send people in the event of a shortage? These are the types of exercises that are being done by hospitals across the country, correct? Dr. Richard Melker: 28:26 Correct James Di Virgilio: 28:28 And then in the event of an actual shortage, do you feel like the hospitals would be able to work with let’s like, let’s take Gainesville here with private practices and say, well, you’ve got a certain bed because you’re an into an ICU and Shand’s has doubled the surge capacity. Or do we feel that we still even utilizing all of the available rooms , space, buildings we have would not be able to handle a surge. Are we that deficient when it comes to facing something like COVID, or is there a way to plan to be able to expand our capacity? Dr. Richard Melker: 28:55 So the United States has had repeated warnings that this was going to happen. We had SARS, and then we had the middle East respiratory syndrome and epidemiologists, and the military have been telling our governments. This is just a matter of time. We lucked out with SARS. Ebola was kind of a different story. It killed people so fast that you had a ventilator the next day, but particularly the Coronaviruses. And remember, we’re not even talking about an attempt intentionally to harm the American people with a biological weapon. This was just a mutation that occurred in a virus, which every year people would get upper respiratory infections with. But it mutated this time into a virus that we have absolutely no natural defenses for. So if you read what epidemiologists have written, the United States has not paid enough attention to this. And I know everyone wants to believe that we have the best healthcare system in the world, and that could be a debate for a show by itself. But we got caught with our pants down. We were very slow to react. We did not, and still today have not on a national level, done all the things that we have to do to minimize the loss of life. And I think there are people in the administration now who are going people aren’t listening to us. We, you and I are sitting in the state of Florida and our governor, our governor did not issue look orders, and still, it appears somebody has to twist his arm to get him to do anything. Now, I don’t want to get into the political reasons for that, but when you have an epidemic like this, where days matter and accumulate down the line in deaths, every governor in the United States on the first day should have issued proclamations that people need to stay at home, social distancing, everything else. And the proof of it is that where that was done in the United States, we’re going to have far fewer deaths than in areas of the United States, where the governors waited and to say on national television, that you didn’t know that there could be asymptomatic carriers of this disease after everything that all of us see every day in the news is beyond my comprehension. James Di Virgilio: 31:50 Well, you raise a lot of the current points that are going on right now. Obviously, why did we not prepare for this? Why are we slow to react to it? You can study the Spanish flu, right? Influenza of 1918 to see that very much the same things happened. We have cities like St. Louis that instituted social distancing, and actually largely avoided a lot of the significant deaths that other cities at the time like New York didn’t do. And then we have this one, which is different. The benefit of COVID is it’s a lot less deadly for people without underlying conditions that are young, very, very deadly for those underlying conditions. How do we respond? What do we do? But here is something, and for me, I should full disclosure I’m a very small government person. I believe in people taking care of what they can reacting locally reacting quickly. But I think you have to look at what the government spends money on and say, what’s important. You know, we’ve spent $1.5 trillion on a fighter jet program that is basically still defunct, 1.5 trillion. And I don’t even agree with the idea of stockpiling things for the future because we can’t predict the future. But at the very least, if you’re going to take taxpayer dollars and spend it, you would think spending it on the health and welfare of your citizens would be a potentially important thing to do. And here we are, like you said, in this quagmire, because it’s a rope, right? If we pull too far in one of the rope, we’re going to lose the economy, we’re going to have a depression. You’re going to have difficult things. And if you pull too far, the other way, too many people are going to die and we’re stuck with this very difficult, complicated problem to solve. And now the question is looking forward, what do we do? And I think what’s interesting about today’s discussion with you and Dr. Lampotang is obviously people, real people, you and I, and others that have real expertise that can help are able to find solutions to these problems. If we can empower them to solve them right now. And what you said is true right? Every day, we wait to react to what we now know is real, is a day that we’re wasting. And I think that maybe is the saddest narrative out of all of this is there’s a lot of voices out there, but unless we’re able to react to something quickly and less and less cooler heads can prevail to address the problems, what are we left with? What do we do? Where do we go? So in your opinion, are we at a critical risk right now with hospital capacity? If we get surged, are we to the point to where we wouldn’t have alternatives or solutions to be able to treat people, is it as bad as some people say it is? Dr. Richard Melker: 34:05 So I would say that in Gainesville, I can only speak about Shands, but Shands is prepared. In other words, we’ve had enough time in Gainesville to know what works and what doesn’t work. So for instance, whoever was the first person who said, you know, we have all those anesthesia machines that have a ventilator in them. We can jury rig the anesthesia machine and turn it into a ventilator. Okay. Well, if you have 26 ORs , you just got 26 ventilators. Okay? And I’m not going to talk much about the issue of sharing one ventilator with more than one person, because that’s a quagmire, it’s been tried, they tried it in Italy, they’re trying it here. And as you know, the news reports, what they’re told and by and large, most reporters, even reporters who focus on the healthcare field are not going to have the level of sophistication to know which of these things are gonna work and which ones aren’t, but I’m scratching my head a lot and going well, that wasn’t a good decision. But if we talk about North central Florida, I can tell you because I get the emails every day that Shands is prepared. I think South Florida, with the elderly population and so many people living in high rises, where the only way they can get up and down is in an elevator, which is just an incubator for the virus. I think South Florida is in huge trouble. And I believe that the time that we’ve lost is going to translate into a huge number of deaths. I mean, it’s a horrible thing to say, and it’s a horrible thing to even believe. But I was trying to put all of this into something that I could write for lay people to understand. And I think I’m correct. And if I’m wrong, somebody is going to let me know. But despite the fact that we have the first amendment and we have the freedom of speech, if you yell fire in a movie theater and there isn’t a fire and somebody gets injured, that’s not covered. However, if there really is a fire in a movie theater and you run out and don’t tell anybody else, don’t pull the fire alarm, don’t, you know, there’s a fire, you have no liability. And so, you know, I’m thinking, well, what are we going to do to these governors who didn’t respond appropriately to the threats , but you really can’t because the fires occurring and they didn’t do anything about it. So when I was thinking of some way to put this into terms that people would understand, because there are so many people now who are fearful of the government, they’re fearful of the information they’re getting. They’re getting mixed signals every single day. In one news conference, you can cut different people. Different speakers can contradict the person who spoke just before them. How are the American people going to understand the seriousness of this and the fact that not only can they die, but if they’re young and relatively healthy, they can be responsible for the deaths of many, many people and never know it to me. It’s just frustration. You wake up every morning and you go, Oh my God, we’re just not doing it right. We are not taking this seriously. We are so behind the eight ball. And there are a million reasons why, and I think some of them are legitimate. And I think a lot of them aren’t legitimate, but that doesn’t matter. The simple fact is we have to a very large extent, created this scenario. James Di Virgilio: 37:59 A lot of things were said there that I think are echoing. What a lot of other experts are saying. I want to ask you this. What do you make of having to deal with limited information, right? Because on one hand you take information. We have the data I’m looking right now at NYC Health’s, daily data summary on Coronavirus deaths and in New York city. Right now we have 26 people that have died with no underlying health conditions. We have 1400 that have died with underlying health conditions. If people look at the data and they say, well, I have no underlying health conditions. I’m safe. I should be out there developing herd immunity while the at risk patients should be isolated or staying away. What do you say to that solution? Or is that nonsense? And it doesn’t matter what happens to economies or work life, we have to do this to save lives. Like what’s the scale? What I’m not hearing people tell me is what’s the scale? What percentage are we looking at? If we isolate a certain part of the population versus everyone, 20%, 30%, 50%, what’s the prudent course of action. I think I would hope right, most Americans want to do what’s best for everyone. I want to do what’s best for my neighbor. And what’s best for the world around me. How do we know what the right course of action is given maybe some of the difficulty of interpreting the data, what’s the right move in your opinion? Dr. Richard Melker: 39:11 Okay. First of all, you’re asking the question that is the most difficult to answer. And the one that keeps me awake at night, but let’s look at what happened in China and whether we believe they’re true statistics, or we don’t believe their statistics. And we think they should have notified the world sooner, which I believe they should have. What they did to control deaths was taunting . If you look at other countries and we haven’t talked about testing, and I think the biggest single failure of the United States healthcare system has been the screw up of telling people, anybody can get a test anytime they want over two months ago and today, not even being able to do surveillance so we know how to answer the question that you just asked. But if you look at the countries and they’re not all dictatorship , so they’re not all totalitarian South Korea because they tested and identified very quickly those patients with the virus and quarantined them they have kept their death rate extremely low. Okay. Now, what did it take to do that? What rights in the South Koreans give up to do that? Not nearly as much as what we’re going to give up, having not done it. Singapore is a very interesting country as anybody who’s ever studied, their governmental system would know about, Singapore has also managed to have much better control over the spread of the virus. Now the Philippines pick out a slightly different take on it. They’re just going to shoot you. So we’re not going there, but we do have examples of countries that have reacted quickly. And in my opinion, appropriately, and the key to everything was testing. Knowing who had the virus and who did now, what do you do once you have that information is the question you’re answering. And I don’t know the answer, but for a very short period of time in England, they decided that they were going to go with the herd immunity we’re dealing with this and they very quickly gave that up and they’re in big trouble now. So I think the big problem with the herd immunity solution is that not only are we going to wipe out the elderly population and I can see a lot of younger people going well, that’s Medicare, that’s all the things that I didn’t want to pay for anyway. But the reality is that younger people are dying as well. And I don’t think people appreciate the fact that what we call elderly today. Isn’t that elderly. I was thinking the last couple of days, because I’m in my seventies now. But if I died 10 years ago from whatever, cause what technology I developed after that that’s being used like crazy now we’d never had been developed. And so I don’t know the answer to your question, but I just, in my gut have this feeling that the herd immunity solution isn’t going to work. It sounds like a good idea. Now there’s a piece of news that came out today, which obviously your listeners won’t hear today, but it’s very interesting information from Scripps Institute in California. And what they did is they got an individual who had the original SARS Coronavirus back in 2002. And they took the blood from that person. And they found that that person still could have immunity to Coronavirus and that the antibodies in the blood of that person actually worked against the new novel virus. Now, if that pans out, that means we may have, because the antibodies are so similar and we now have the capacity to replicate antibodies very quickly. We have the potential maybe of getting to a vaccination very quickly. Now, I’m sure there are a lot of differences between using an antibody that’s already developed versus most vaccines are either killed or attenuated bacteria or viruses or organism that you’re trying to develop immunity against. But it’s really exciting to me that somebody who had the original SARS still has immunity 18 years later. That’s a pretty good vaccine. James Di Virgilio: 43:58 Yeah, I’d say so. Right? And this is SARS II something that I think has gotten lost from this. Dr. Richard Melker: 44:03 Yeah. I don’t think people realize that the original name was SARS COVID II. We’ve seen this picture. James Di Virgilio: 44:10 Right. We got a glimpse and it didn’t, as you mentioned get transmitted as far Dr. Richard Melker: 44:13 And the messenger came and we shot. James Di Virgilio: 44:16 We did. And I think what’s interesting is the conclusion for me is the data, right? If you talk about innovation, you talk about entrepreneurship. You talk about moving humanity forward. That always has to come from good data. You can’t improve something unless you understand how something works and why it works and why maybe it could work better. And I think that’s the big problem that we have as you said, is without the data, the thesis of, Hey, let’s let the younger people go out. It looks like healthy, young people aren’t dying. Let’s send them out into the world. Could be a good one the thesis of keeping everyone apart from each other could be the best one. The real problem is like you said, what do you do when you don’t know? And that’s where I think you see this middling response. And certainly it’s something we actively could have done much, much better was to figure out who has it, who doesn’t have it give clear messaging to those that have it to stay away. We dropped the ball on that. Something you mentioned, we’ll be on our next episode, we are going to talk all about vaccines and vaccinations, which is obviously the big solution to this problem as far as mitigating the top end risk. And obviously Dr. Melker, thank you for joining us today. Great discussion on a wide range of topics. We appreciate your efforts in the field of medicine, as well as in the field of ventilators. We know that your expertise has been very helpful and hopefully will continue to help those as we go through this. Thank you for joining us on the program today. It’s been fantastic. Dr. Richard Melker: 45:31 I enjoyed it also, and I hope that we move forward more quickly to resolve these issues. Thank you again. James Di Virgilio: 45:39 For Radio Cade, I’m James Di Virgilio.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Eric Topol, author of ‘The Patient Will See You Now' and ‘Deep Medicine'. Eric has had an incredible career which has been largely focused on researching cardiovascular disease and heart attacks, both of which he worked on in the Cleveland Clinic and Scripps Institute. In this episode, we discuss wireless medicine and the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine and healthcare.
