Newly released diary entries and internal emails obtained by Sen. Rand Paul reveal that Dr. Anthony Fauci privately sounded the alarm in 2016 after learning the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) had aerosolized Ebola in a study funded by his own institute. “What idiots,” Dr. Fauci wrote in March 2016. “This should have been a classified experiment, that never should have been done in the first place.” The documents reveal that vaccinated primates exposed to the airborne pathogen suffered severe lung inflammation – with worse outcomes than the unvaccinated. “During the course of those experiments, the DOD noticed that the animals that were vaccinated had more inflammation [in the lungs than] those who were unvaccinated,” Fauci wrote in his diary at the time. “Nonetheless, the idea that the vaccine can do harm is now causing people a great deal of concern.” “Records show NIAID was funding risky research with the Defense Department. And when the results turned problematic, Dr. Fauci argued they should have been classified,” says Sen. Rand Paul. “It is clear additional oversight is needed into what Dr. Fauci's institute was paying for long before COVID.” Peter Navarro Ph.D., the former Senior Counselor to President Trump and author of Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, joins Dr. Drew to break down the unsealed diary, disease weaponization, and federal gain-of-function accountability. National security expert Dr. Bradley Thayer examines Chinese Communist Party leverage and geopolitical conflict.

Are you taking medications... because of your other medications? It sounds like a trick question. But when family nurse practitioner Nurse Alice reviews patient medication lists, she sees it all the time. A routine pill for blood pressure or cholesterol gets started. Months later, a new symptom creeps in—swollen ankles, heartburn, or muscle soreness. Naturally, most people assume it's just aging or a brand-new health condition, report it to their provider, and walk out with another prescription. Before you know it, you're taking pills just to manage the collateral damage of other pills. In healthcare, this hidden domino effect is called a "Prescribing Cascade." In this episode, Nurse Alice breaks down how prescribing cascades happen, the three most common drug loops to watch for, and her practical 4-Step Medication Action Plan to protect yourself and your loved ones from drug stacking. This isn't about stopping your prescriptions on your own. It's about asking better questions, taking charge of your care, and making sure your medication routine is actually helping you—not just chasing side effects Listen in, and let's get smart about your health.

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
In this episode, I'm talking about testosterone in midlife, menopause, low sex drive, and why so many women on hormone therapy are still missing the one hormone nobody thought to check. I learned this the hard way: after my divorce, I was dating again and having more sex than I had in years, and my pleasure started to disappear, even though I was already taking estrogen and progesterone. It took finding a sexual medicine practice before anyone mentioned testosterone.I use that experience to take apart some of the biggest myths about testosterone. It isn't only a male hormone (when we're younger, women actually make more of it than men). A "normal" result doesn't mean much if your provider doesn't know how to read it. More isn't better. And a men's product at a much smaller dose isn't dangerous when the right clinician prescribes it. I also explain why low T in men builds so slowly that many don't notice it until their 50s and 60s, what men who want children should know before starting treatment, and why testosterone can help a relationship but will never fix one on its own.If you've been told your libido loss is "just menopause" or "just age," this episode gives you the language to go back to your provider and ask better questions. And a friendly reminder: don't take your partner's testosterone.The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off their guided intimacy subscription at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In This Episode:0:00 – Low T Isn't Just a Men's Problem0:14 – Welcome to Taboo to Truth0:46 – Testosterone: More Than the "Male" Hormone1:24 – How Men and Women Make Testosterone1:56 – How Testosterone Changes as We Age2:34 – Signs of Low Testosterone in Men3:30 – Signs of Low Testosterone in Women3:58 – My Story: Why My Orgasms Stopped4:23 – It's Not Always Testosterone4:56 – Total T, Free T & SHBG Explained6:08 – Why Testing Units and Timing Matter7:09 – Arya.fyi7:35 – There's No Magic Number for Women's Desire8:12 – How Men Are Diagnosed and Treated9:11 – What Testosterone Can Do for Women10:02 – Side Effects for Men10:40 – Side Effects and Dosing for Women11:24 – Creams, Pellets, Injections & Compounding12:22 – Off-Label Testosterone for Women13:41 – Don't Diagnose Yourself: Final Thoughts14:12 – Final thoughts‼️ Join the waitlist for my upcoming coaching program for midlife men HERE.

Send us Fan MailWhat can hundreds of thousands of Reddit posts tell us about the side effects of GLP-1 medications?In this episode of Causes or Cures, I talk with researcher Neil K. R. Sehgal about his recent study examining self-reported side effects of semaglutide and tirzepatide, commonly known by brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound.Neil and his colleagues used AI to analyze more than 410,000 Reddit posts mentioning the medications. Among users who reported taking them, researchers found plenty of familiar side effects, particularly gastrointestinal symptoms, but they also identified potential signals involving fatigue, menstrual changes, and temperature-related symptoms such as chills and hot flashes. We talk about why clinical trials can't capture every possible side effect before a drug reaches the broader population, how AI can sift through enormous amounts of online conversation, and why finding a signal on Reddit is not the same thing as proving that a medication caused it.We also get into a bigger question: Could social media eventually become a useful early-warning system for drug safety?In this episode, we discuss: why Neil turned to Reddit to study GLP-1 experiences; how AI analyzed more than 400,000 posts; which potential side-effect signals emerged; the difference between correlation, a safety signal, and causation; how researchers distinguish genuine signals from social-media influence; and how AI and online communities could complement traditional pharmacovigilance.About Neil: Neil K. R. Sehgal is a researcher affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Computer and Information Science and Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. His research includes using large-scale digital data to better understand patient experiences and healthcare. He led the analysis and was first author of the study discussed in this episode.

But what does it actually feel like to live with the side effects day after day?In this candid episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, Laura Carfang sits down with Lindsey, who was diagnosed with DCIS at age 37 after finding a lump herself. Following surgery and radiation, Lindsey began taking tamoxifen—and quickly discovered that the experience involved much more than simply taking a pill every morning.Lindsey shares the difficult fertility conversation she and her husband faced before treatment, why she took a trip before starting tamoxifen, and how she has learned to adjust her expectations of what her body can do.Laura shares her own experience with endocrine therapy and the complicated emotions that can come with years of treatment—even when you understand why you're taking the medication.The conversation ultimately becomes about more than tamoxifen. It's about learning to give yourself grace when your body changes, letting go of the expectation that you should simply "go back to normal," and realizing that you still deserve to take up space exactly as you are.Support the showListener FeedbackPlease share a review with us!

Rain never stopped anyone from getting a good word today, and this one's worth every drop. Pastor kicked off the new series "Regret" by pointing at a scene most of us have replayed in our own lives, even if it never made SportsCenter: a coach who calls the wrong play at the worst possible moment. That was the story of Super Bowl 49, the goal-line interception, and the coach who stood at the podium afterward insisting he had "no regrets," even though his face told a different story. A 2004 survey found only 11% of Americans claim to have no regrets, and a follow-up found most of those people weren't being honest. The truth is simpler and a little harder to admit: we all have regrets, and we're probably headed for more. The Side Effects of Every Decision Every decision we make carries the risk of regret, the same way a prescription drug carries a list of side effects. Some choices are low impact, like picking the wrong movie for date night. You'll hear about it, but you'll survive. Others are high impact: career moves, relationships, finances, faith. Those regrets stick because they reshape our lives. The good news is that God offers a defense against them. James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault," and it will be given to you. Wisdom isn't a reward for the spiritually elite; it's a gift for anyone who asks. The Throne of Grace But what about the regrets we already carry? That's where the offense comes in. Hebrews 4:15-16 describes Jesus as a high priest who "is not unable to empathize with our weaknesses," because he was tempted in every way we are, yet without sin. Because of that, we're invited to "approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." A throne reveals what a king values most, and God's throne is a throne of grace. Grace deals with the sin behind our regrets. Mercy deals with the misery that regret leaves behind. Together, they mean we don't have to keep carrying what Jesus already came to lift. The Heart We Can't Trust So why do we keep making decisions we know we'll regret? Because, as the prophet Jeremiah wrote, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" Jeremiah watched king after king in Israel ignore wise counsel because their hearts were already set on a bad decision, and the consequences were devastating. Our hearts aren't just dishonest; they're deceitful, mixing truth and half-truth until a bad choice feels reasonable. That's why the question to ask before any high-impact decision isn't "what do I want," but "can I trust what I'm telling me?" Four Steps Toward Wisdom The path forward has four simple steps: admit that your heart can deceive you, get honest about what's really true in the decision ahead of you, stop and pray for wisdom, and ask God to heal the heart itself, because only he can change it. That last part matters most. We can't fix our own hearts. But when we place our faith in Jesus, God turns a heart of stone into a heart of flesh, one that actually desires his glory instead of its own short-term comfort. Whatever regret you're carrying today, whether it's a decision from years ago or one you're circling right now, you don't have to face it alone or pretend it isn't there. Take a minute this week to sit with Jeremiah 17:9 and Hebrews 4:15-16 side by side, and ask God honestly whether you can trust what your own heart has been telling you. If this message meets you where you are, share it with someone who's been quietly carrying their own regret. You might be the reminder they need that grace and mercy are both still available at the throne.

What does a prostate cancer diagnosis really mean — and how do you know when screening or treatment is needed? Prostate cancer is common, but not every case carries the same risk, and today's diagnostic tools and treatment options can help men make more informed decisions while protecting quality of life.In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Willard Shepard speaks with urologist and surgical oncologist Dr. Manuel Ozambela of Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute about prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and the technology changing how the disease is treated. Why prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages How PSA testing works and what an elevated PSA may — and may not — mean Who may be at higher risk based on family history, genetics and race How MRI and targeted biopsy help diagnose prostate cancer How robotic surgery, HIFU and IRE are expanding treatment options How PSMA imaging helps doctors determine where cancer is located How AI is beginning to improve prostate imaging and treatment planning Why preserving urinary and sexual function is an important part of treatment The takeaway: knowing your personal risk, talking with your physician and staying current with screening can help detect prostate cancer earlier — when more treatment options may be available.Host:Willard ShepardAward-Winning JournalistGuest:Manuel Ozambela, M.D.Urologic Surgical OncologistHerbert Wertheim Cancer InstituteIf you found this episode helpful, we also recommend:Prostate Cancer Awareness: Screening & TreatmentThe Screening That Changed Everything for Alonzo Mourning

Adam Schell, content creator and co-founder of Brain Supreme, reveals how microdosing psilocybin serves as a catalyst for neurogenesis, emotional healing, and psychological resilience. Moving beyond standard pharmaceutical solutions, he explains how psilocybin unwires negative neural pathways—such as guilt, shame, and fear—while reactivating damaged brain regions to help individuals recover from trauma and brain injuries.From his early days as a Division One football player to surviving a million-dollar publishing collapse and the complete ruin of his California cannabis farms, Adam outlines the personal adversity that led to his own regenesis. He cautions against relying on psilocybin as a quick-fix "magic bullet," while demonstrating how combining functional mushrooms, nootropics, and targeted dosing protocols offers a practical way to regain mental clarity, build positive habits, and compartmentalize severe stress.Tracing his path from personal financial failure to guiding thousands of microdosing clients, Adam contrasts conventional scientific dogma with a deeply intuitive, spiritual connection to plant intelligence. He introduces the concept of the "etheric mycelial network," illustrating how aligning with the sentience of mushrooms fosters radical authenticity, dissolves addictive behaviors, and restores a grounded sense of truthfulness in daily life.Is human potential strictly limited by past trauma, debt, and neurological decline, or can the intentional integration of microdosing unlock a profound level of cognitive flexibility, emotional freedom, and creative vitality?___

What if there were something that could give you the benefits you've been searching for—with ZERO SIDE EFFECTS? What if that “product” was wisdom, and Proverbs 8 tells us it's readily available to every single one of us?In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we break down Proverbs 8 and one of the most powerful promises in the Bible: the value of wisdom.We spend our lives searching for things that promise a better life—more success, better relationships, stronger leadership, financial prosperity, clarity, confidence, influence and peace.But almost everything comes with a trade-off.Wisdom is different.Proverbs 8 describes wisdom as more valuable than silver, gold or rubies. It connects wisdom with prudence, knowledge, discretion, sound judgment, insight, strength, leadership, riches, honor, righteousness and justice. And then comes the part that stopped me:Those who seek wisdom can find it.It's available.No prescription.No exclusive membership.No secret handshake. And ZERO SIDE EFFECTS.The question isn't whether wisdom exists.The question is whether we're willing to seek it—and then have the discipline to actually use it.This is another INCHSTONES conversation about biblical wisdom, personal growth, leadership, faith, success and becoming the person capable of carrying what you're asking for.Because sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't come from adding something new to your life.It comes from getting wiser with what is already in your hands.What would change in your life if you pursued wisdom as aggressively as you pursue success?
Have you ever wondered whether compounded GLP-1 medications are as safe and effective as brand-name medications? Or how you can tell if a GLP-1 or peptide product is fake? In this episode of Back on Track: Achieving Healthy Weight Loss, I'm continuing my Ask the Obesity Doctor series, where I answer real questions you've left on my YouTube videos and social media. This time, I'm talking about safety. I'll answer five questions about compounded GLP-1 medications, counterfeit and black-market products, medication interactions, side effects, and something I hear frequently from patients: "Ozempic face." I'll explain the difference between brand-name and compounded medications and why compounded medications have not gone through the same rigorous testing as brand-name medications. I'll also talk about why you can't reliably tell whether a GLP-1 or peptide product purchased from the black market is authentic or counterfeit. I'll discuss medication combinations that require extra caution when taking GLP-1 medications, including oral birth control and warfarin, and what you should do if you experience symptoms that concern you. Finally, I'll explain what people mean when they talk about "Ozempic face," why it doesn't happen to everyone, and why you shouldn't assume your experience with a GLP-1 medication will be the same as someone else's. These are questions I hear frequently, and my goal is to help you better understand what to discuss with your own healthcare provider. This episode is for education only and is not a substitute for personalized medical advice. Episode Highlights: The difference between brand-name and compounded GLP-1 medications Why compounded medications have not gone through the same rigorous testing as brand-name medications Why you cannot reliably tell if a black-market GLP-1 or peptide product is authentic Why I recommend avoiding counterfeit and black-market peptide products Medication combinations that require extra caution when taking GLP-1 medications What to do if you experience unusual or concerning side effects What "Ozempic face" actually means and why it doesn't happen to everyone Why you should not compare your GLP-1 experience to someone else's If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I recommend starting there and then continuing with this episode for the second set of questions.

SHOW NOTES SPONSORED BY: Soul of Business™ Experience Find out more at https://leader.blainebartlett.com/sobecommunity Summary The $10 Trillion Loss with Dave Garrison Gallup just sent a warning signal that business leaders can't afford to ignore: According to the State of the Global Workplace: 2026 Report, employee engagement has dropped to 20%, marking the first time global engagement has dropped for two consecutive years. Last year, this cost the world economy an estimated $10 trillion in lost productivity. But according to my guest Dave Garrison, a nationally recognized business strategist and co-founder of Garrison Growth (www.garrisongrowth.com), this crisis is being widely misdiagnosed: “Disengagement is the symptom,” he explains. “Buy-in is the cause. And when buy-in breaks down, the financial impact shows up everywhere leaders aren't looking.” In this thought provoking episode Blaine and Dave explore why disengagement is usually a symptom, not the root problem. The conversation centers on Dave's idea that the real issue is buy-in and not motivation or compliance, and that leaders create better results when they treat people as full human beings rather than headcount or "our greatest asset." In this episode they also dig into practical ways to build buy-in through clearer values, better meetings, shared decision-making, and learning to ask the right questions instead of relying on command-and-control habits. Key Topics Buy-in is the deeper issue behind disengagement, and leaders need to focus on human energy, not just output. Blaine frames business as something with a soul or blueprint, meant to enhance the experience of being alive on the planet. Dave distinguishes basic employee engagement from true buy-in, saying engagement is a low bar and often only measures comfort. The discussion challenges the idea that people are merely an expense line rather than an investment. Examples from companies like Starbucks and Nokia show how values can guide real decisions instead of decorating office walls. People only do what they are told, key talent leaves, meetings drag, initiative disappears, and frontline employees cannot explain priorities clearly. Dave shares a four-step approach: individual thought, small-group discussion, criteria setting, and voting to surface collective wisdom. Both speakers emphasize that effective leadership is done with people, not to them. #leadershipdevelopment #soulofbusiness #employeeengagement #buyin #compassionatecapitalism Learn more about your ad choices.

Lifestyle medicine expert and family nurse practitioner John Manna returns to NP Pulse: The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner® to speak about the many exciting developments taking place in the world of GLP-1s. Manna explains the connection between a GLP-1 regimen and therapeutic lifestyle interventions; addresses some concerns he has seen in his practice regarding side effects related to GLP-1 use; and speaks about what health care providers can expect to see in the near future when it comes to these life-changing medications.
This week Kristin and I get into "Ozempic face," which has been all over social media, and I break down what's actually happening medically when people lose facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications. Kristin gets grossed out the moment I bring up orbital fat, so we go down a whole rabbit hole about fat pads, blepharoplasty, and why your eyes need that squishy cushion behind them. I also share something newer in ophthalmology: GLP-1 medications are now considered a rare but real risk factor for a type of vision loss called ischemic optic neuropathy. Then we get into a story from a Cake concert I took our kids to while Kristin was out of town, where our teenage daughter and her friend somehow knew every word to a Black Sabbath cover better than half the adults in the crowd (genuine proud dad moment). After the break, I keep working on my medical Spanish with more phrases sent in by a listener, and Kristin does her best to correct my pronunciation. Takeaways: "Ozempic face" refers to the hollowing and sagging that can happen when someone loses facial fat quickly on GLP-1 medications, it's a side effect of rapid fat loss, not a direct effect of the drug itself. Facial fat loss on GLP-1s can also affect the fat pad behind the eye, which may contribute to a more sunken appearance around the eyes. GLP-1 medications are now considered a risk factor for ischemic optic neuropathy, a rare condition involving reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, though the overall risk remains very low. Orbital fat plays an important structural role in cushioning and supporting the eye, and its loss or migration can contribute to changes like under-eye bags or a sunken appearance. Learning key medical Spanish phrases, even imperfectly, can help physicians communicate more effectively with Spanish-speaking patients. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Apply to work with the MI team → https://muscleintelligence.com/apply Ryan Smith co-founded the first pharmacy in the United States to offer an extensive list of peptides — and he ran the synthesis floor himself. Preparative HPLC, mass spec, chemical synthesis, the lot. Which means he spent years watching the same two failures from the inside: the molecule that works beautifully at a small dose and stops working when someone doubles it, and the vial that looks identical to the real thing and isn't. He is not a peptide evangelist. Ask him about the compound he calls ten million times more potent than BDNF and he'll tell you why he doesn't take it. His argument here is quieter than most of what gets said about peptides, and harder to unhear afterward: the body is already a competent system, and nearly everything that goes wrong with these compounds comes from handing it more input than it needed. Why exogenous growth hormone removes a brake the secretagogues leave in place. Why ipamorelin became the standard despite releasing less growth hormone than the compounds it replaced. Why two vials of the same peptide, at the same purity, can behave completely differently. He would rather talk about what he refuses to make than what he's excited about — and by the end of the hour it's clear those are the same conversation. 5 Key Takeaways Why exogenous growth hormone removes a brake your body doesn't get back — and what CJC-1295, ipamorelin and tesamorelin do instead The reason ipamorelin became the clinical standard despite releasing less growth hormone than the compounds it replaced Why the same 500-microgram dose of oral BPC-157 works in one form and barely at all in another Why the peptide he calls 10 million times more potent than BDNF is the one he leaves out of his own stack What a clean HPLC mass spec report still can't tell you about what's in the vial — and why that one blind spot lands on your liver Chapters 0:00 Why Peptides Took a Century to Arrive 4:54 Specificity, Growth Hormone & the Scalpel Argument 16:22 Thymosin Alpha-1, Epitalon & Natural Testosterone 25:25 Mitochondrial Peptides & the Fat Loss Compounds 32:27 BPC-157: Repair, Dosing & the Salt Form Problem 35:46 Peptides for the Brain: FGL, Dihexa & Cerebrolysin 47:05 What He Takes, What He Refuses & Why 52:36 Side Effects, Purity & What's Really in the Vial Connect with Ryan X – https://x.com/ryansmithepiage LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-smith-lexington-ky/ TruDiagnostic – https://www.trudiagnostic.com
Ask almost anyone how Ozempic works and you'll hear the same answer: it slows your stomach down. Dr. Ken Brown says that's the magician's waving hand.In this solo episode, the board-certified gastroenterologist walks through the research showing that roughly 99% of GLP-1 weight loss happens in three regions of the brain - and that the gut accounts for less than 1%. Which means the nausea, bloating, and heartburn people white-knuckle through aren't the thing making them lose weight.He maps the actual mechanism: the hypothalamus, where a misfiring hunger neuron acts like a broken fuel light telling you the tank is empty when it's full. The mesolimbic system, where dopamine explains why you find room for a Crumbl cookie after a full dinner - and why fMRI scans of that reward circuit go dark once someone starts a GLP-1. And the brainstem's area postrema, the ancient poison-detection system these drugs quietly hijack to produce fullness and nausea.Then the part he sees in clinic every week: why the pylorus tightens, why the migrating motor complex stalls, why the fundus stretches, and how that combination pools acid at the top of the stomach and pushes it into the esophagus. Plus the trial data showing most stomachs return to normal emptying by around 16 weeks, why a PPI often doesn't fix GLP-1 heartburn, and what he does instead for patients ready to quit a medication their gut can't tolerate.In this episode:- Why "it slows your stomach" is a misdirection- Your body's own GLP-1, and why these drugs act like an Amber Alert instead- The three brain regions doing 99% of the work- The broken fuel light: AgRP, POMC, and lifelong hunger- Dopamine, the dessert tray, and why this isn't willpower- The fMRI studies that made it visible- What the drugs actually do to the stomach — and the bathtub with the plug in it- Tachyphylaxis: why it improves around 16 weeks- Long-term GLP-1 use and SIBO risk- How to keep the weight loss without the gut miseryChapters: 0:00 The misdirection · 3:21 How your own GLP-1 works · 4:38 Three brain regions · 9:35 The broken fuel light · 11:08 Why you find room for the cookie · 13:11 The fMRI studies · 15:01 What happens in the stomach · 17:21 The bathtub analogy · 19:56 The trials nobody talks about · 21:31 Why 16 weeks matters · 23:29 SIBO and long-term use · 23:58 You don't have to suffer · 30:10 Bringing it togetherEducational content only - not medical advice.

Mary Holland, president of Children's Health Defense, joins the program to discuss President Trump's latest executive order amending the childhood vaccine schedule.We examine the politics surrounding the order, who supports it, who is fighting it, and Holland's thoughts on why the entire country—not just red states—could ultimately benefit from these changes. We also discuss what the order means for vaccine recommendations, mandates, parental choice, and the larger battle unfolding over the future of vaccine policy in America. We also discuss the newly FDA-approved Moderna mRNA flu vaccine for adults 50 and older and the troubling safety numbers surrounding its approval. Moderna's own studies show an adverse side-effect rate of more than 75%, while an analysis of the data shows roughly 270 severe side effects for every one hospitalization the vaccine saves. The statistics couldn't be much worse, yet the FDA approved its use. This follows on the heels of the Navy mandating the flu vaccine for specified personnel, after the broader military mandate had previously been lifted. What does this seemingly contradictory picture tell us about the agendas and policies now taking shape—and where are they ultimately headed?Learn more and sign up for the Children's Health Defense newsletter at ChildrensHealthDefense.org.See Webinar replays and more at SarahWestall.Substack.com.
"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam].

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38

396: Allulose has quickly become one of the most popular sugar alternatives, but is it actually a healthy choice? In this Bite of Knowledge, I'm breaking down what allulose is, how it's made, and why its GMO status and labeling can be confusing. I'll also cover how allulose may affect digestion, including bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and gut bacteria, why it may be hiding in many low-carb and keto products, and why this sweetener may not be as harmless as it's often made out to be. Plus, I'll share what I use instead when I want to add sweetness without relying on sugar substitutes.
