Podcasts about Surgeon general

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s transforming how we understand public health education in this country: childhood trauma and its lifelong impact on the brain and body. For decades, adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, like abuse, neglect, or exposure to violence, were often seen as just social or emotional issues. But research has revealed the science of something much deeper: these experiences can rewire a child’s developing stress response system, leading to increased risks of chronic disease, mental health disorders, substance dependence, and even incarceration later in life. Joining us for this conversation is someone who’s pioneered the charge in translating that science into statewide action. As California’s very first Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris helped put childhood trauma at the center of public health policy. She not only trained tens of thousands of providers to screen for ACEs, but pushed for major changes like linking juvenile justice reform to health equity. Dr. Burke Harris She brings a clinician’s insight and an advocate’s persistence to a conversation that challenges us to think bigger about prevention, healing, and what it really means to create environments that build holistically healthy and stable children.

It’s the leading cause of preventable death across much of Europe and North America, responsible for the loss of 41 million lives in the US, UK and Canada between 1960 and 2020. These staggering statistics beg the question: Why is anyone still smoking? Dr. Lynn Kozlowski, renowned expert in tobacco use and nicotine policy, is Professor Emeritus and Dean Emeritus of Community Health and Health Behavior at the University of Buffalo. A founding member of the Society for Nicotine and Tobacco Research, he has contributed to four U.S. Surgeon General reports on smoking. Host Alec Baldwin speaks with Dr. Kozlowski about how perceptions of smoking have evolved over the years, the dangers of smoking traditional cigarettes versus vaping, and his advice on what he believes is the best way to quit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During his tenure as the Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. Vivek Murthy became, in effect, our national healer. In a soft but strong voice, he spoke about the country's maladies like addiction, depression, and violence, and he made the passionate case that loneliness was the contributor to many of those ills, including our over-dependence on social media. That message is at the heart of his book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection. In this episode and in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Andrea Elliott, Dr. Murthy talks about the book, about his own bouts of loneliness, and how we can each learn to be a healer in our own lives.

On the show today, we discuss the situation out in Chicago, where Chicago Police Officers were apparently ordered to stand down and not offer assistance to ICE Officers being attacked by angry protesters, the importance of A.M. radio to you as it has been brought up in Congress recently and there has been some chatter about removing it from cars, and do you believe parents should have a choice on what vaccines their kids are given? Last month, the Surgeon General of Florida made the state's intent known in regard to eliminating all vaccine mandates, what do you think about that?

In this episode, the reigns are given to Brian to steer the guys at a flick to chat about. After very very little thought he decided to finally unleash the surreal nightmare that is the one and only "Skinned Deep" starring Warwick Davis!! Knowing full well that Jef and Josh would hate this movie, he waited until the perfect moment, and that perfect moment is now and why is the perfect moment now you might ask? The answer is that it was the first movie to pop into his little pea brain and now everyone gets to experience this wild ass movie. He says, you are welcome! Now enjoy the show!

It's been five years since the pandemic began, but was our public health system or society to blame for our country's failures to stop the spread? Some argue that public health leaders were unprepared, mismanaged the crisis, and provided inconsistent guidance.

The Loneliness Epidemic II In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General called loneliness and isolation a “public health crisis” as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.  And, according to the Cigna U.S. Loneliness Index, nearly half of U.S. adults report experience loneliness on a regular basis.

Making friends as a kid: “Hey, wanna play?”Making friends as an adult: “Well, I'm free on the 17th from 2:15–3:00 if we can find childcare…”Yeah… it's complicated.This Sunday we're kicking off a brand new series called How to Know a Person. Because if the Surgeon General is calling loneliness an epidemic, maybe it's time we got serious (and a little more intentional) about what it means to really know and be known.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo made a surprise announcement that MAHA has been waiting for: ALL vaccine mandates are ending in the state. “Is it appropriate for a government or any other entity to dictate to you what you should put in your body?” says Dr. Ladapo. “No, it's absolutely not appropriate. You have sovereignty over your body…” Ladapo assured CNN the vaccines will still be available to anyone who wants them – just not mandated. Donald Trump, however, does not fully agree with the change. The President, who recently dined with tech moguls including Bill Gates, said: “You have vaccines that work. They pure and simple work. They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used; otherwise, some people are going to catch it and they are going to endanger other people.” Dr. Peter McCullough is a cardiologist, internist, and epidemiologist, serving as Chief Scientific Officer of The Wellness Company.

Google's proposed data center in South Indianapolis is facing another hurdle. At Monday night's City-County Council meeting, Councilor Michael-Paul Hart, who represents the district, pulled the rezoning plan for more debate. Indiana students are missing less school, a sign that they are slowly recovering from a SURGE in absenteeism in the wake of the pandemic. Voter advocacy groups delivered petitions from about nine thousand Hoosiers to the Statehouse Tuesday, opposing a redistricting effort. There is growing confusion about who should - and can - get a vaccine for COVID-19 as advice from the federal government conflicts with that of some health experts.

This month's headlines are stranger than fiction — and the conspiracy-fueled chaos is only heating up.The WNBA is under attack — not from critics, but from flying sex toys. Multiple games were interrupted as fans hurled brightly colored dildos onto the court, prompting outrage from players and coaches. A meme-coin group, "Green Dildo Coin," claimed responsibility for some of the stunts, allegedly to promote their launch. Arrests have been made, and the league has promised swift bans and legal action. But behind the absurdity lies a deeper issue — the ongoing disrespect and sexualization of women in sports.President Trump's silence over Labor Day sparked a viral death hoax that spiraled out of control. With no major appearances for six days, rumors of his failing health took over social media, amplified by images of swollen ankles and bruised hands. When Trump finally reappeared — smirking at a Fox News reporter's joke about his “death” — the internet had already run wild. Is this just a case of online hysteria, or is something more being hidden?Down in Georgia, a massive immigration raid at the Hyundai Metaplant led to 475 arrests — most of them Korean nationals. The operation is the largest workplace crackdown yet under the current Trump administration, with questions swirling around subcontractors and labor practices.Also in the mix:Boxing shocker: Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is happening — two legends in one unbelievable exhibition match.Will Smith accused of using AI-generated crowds in his tour promo — glitchy fingers, warped faces, and the growing fear of deepfakes.Florida's vaccine wars escalate as the Surgeon General calls to eliminate all mandates, sparking national backlash.And Epstein survivors take justice into their own hands, vowing to compile their own “client list” and demanding full transparency from Congress.It's a wild month — let's get into it.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Surgeon General, the Internet, and Opening Day "This Evening"

Main Focus Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis and the state Surgeon General, announced plans to eliminate all mandatory vaccination requirements, including those for children in public schools. This would make Florida the first U.S. state to fully withdraw vaccine mandates, representing a sharp departure from decades of public health policy. Arguments Presented Skepticism toward public health institutions: Ben argues that the CDC and medical authorities “lied” about COVID-19 measures (masks, distancing, vaccine effectiveness). Because of this, many Americans no longer trust these institutions. Parental Rights vs. Government Mandates: Florida’s decision is framed as empowering parents to make medical choices for their children rather than allowing the federal government to dictate them. Supporters view this as a matter of bodily autonomy, parental choice, and medical freedom. Criticism of the Opposition: Sources claim “liberals” and medical groups oppose the repeal because they want more government control. It portrays media outlets and health professionals as fearmongering about the risks of removing mandates. Counterpoints & Concerns Highlighted Medical Community Response: Organizations like the American Medical Association warn that removing vaccine mandates could undermine decades of progress and lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases (measles, polio, whooping cough). Public health experts stress the immense global and U.S. benefits of vaccines, citing millions of lives saved. Political & Public Debate: Florida Democrats and doctors argue the move poses a grave public health risk. There is emphasis on how outbreaks could affect schools and vulnerable groups.

Congress is back. It's back and it has a lot of work to do. If Congress doesn't fund the government by the end of September, the government will close up shop. And while Democrats have demanded meetings with President Donald Trump and his loyal GOP to drum up a bipartisan spending bill, Republicans don't seem too inclined to work with their colleagues across the aisle. But preventing a shutdown is just one bullet point on Congress' agenda. On Wednesday, survivors of convicted sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein spoke on Capitol Hill in an effort to get answers and more information on his crimes. It came a day after the House Oversight Committee released more than 33,000 documents related to the Epstein investigation. So, for more on Epstein, and a potential government shutdown, we spoke with Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen.And in headlines: Florida's Surgeon General tries to connect vaccine mandates to slavery, Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver of New Jersey tells the Washington Post she's going to keep working after the House rejected a resolution to censure her, and rumors are floating around that the Trump administration might offer New York City Mayor Eric Adams a new gig.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

It's one that warrants serious discussion about your rights versus the public good, good medicine, and the doctor patient relationship.

It's nightcap time. Epstein victims call for Congress to release all of the DOJ's files related to the case in a powerful press conference on Capitol Hill. Then, a new report from the Federal Reserve shows U.S. economic activity saw “little or no” growth in recent weeks and nearly all districts in their survey noted "tariff related price increases." Plus, public health experts sound the alarm after Florida's Surgeon General says the state will end all vaccine mandates. Symone Sanders hosts as Jon Allen, Philip Bump, Joel Payne, John Avlon, Brandy Zadrozny, Al Powell and Jim Place join The 11th Hour this Wednesday night.

In this episode, John plays clips of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse as they gathered with members of Congress to speak to reporters and urge the White House and Congress to release the full dossier of information on Epstein's crimes. Then, he jokes with podcast star Bob Cesca on Trump's tariff dilemma, the Epstein victims speaking out, and Florida's Gov. and Surgeon General announcing they're removing ALL vaccine requirements for everyone in the state. Next, John speaks with the tattooed theologian Dillon Naber Cruz on the evil doings of white Christian Nationalists. And rounding it out - John welcomes back legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson and they answer legal questions from listeners on current news and Trump related issues.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thought-provoking Quotes: “Let the top rung of the ladder be your sincere convictions. That's the one to keep sturdy, clear, and visible, and hold that one as tight as you can.” – Jen Hatmaker “Anchor your feet into the ground and stand in this storm. Let it rage. Weather it, weather your own discomfort, weather everybody else's discomfort and whatever loss or change comes along with it, because it will end, and there will come a day when it is not that chaotic and what you will be left with is your integrity and that is enough.” – Jen Hatmaker “Women are capable of getting through the hardest things.  Maybe it's a trope because it's true. Maybe the women who are betrayed grieve and recover and rebuild because that's what women do. So maybe it's not such a surprise that we can flourish.” – Amy Hardin “I'm just convinced, this is the time for us to reinvent. Look how awesome we are.” – Jen Hatmaker Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement post - https://www.instagram.com/p/DN02niAXMM-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MTQ4YWwzOGcycWJlcA== [ENCORE] When the Truth Goes Viral: The Cost (and Benefit) of Living Honestly with Jonathan Merritt - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/encore-when-the-truth-goes-viral-the-cost-and-benefit-of-living-honestly-with-jonathan-merritt/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3VnMb0k The Interview: Jen Hatmaker's Life Exploded in Middle Age.

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D., a Professor, Research Director, Speaker, and Author of the books Well at Work, Healing Spaces, and The Balance Within, to the podcast to talk about wellness at work and how workplace environments impact employees. Dr. Sternberg shares her career journey from her start in medical family practice through to becoming the Research Director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. She and Dr. Laura talk about what factors impact health and overall wellness at work and how these can be improved.Dr. Sternberg delves into the insights in her book Well at Work and explains the seven domains of integrative health as defined by the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Sleep, resilience, environment, movement, relationships, spirituality, and nutrition are the seven domains, and they include things like how quickly we bounce back from stress, how clean our air is, and access to nature. Dr. Laura and Dr. Sternberg examine how office design, environmental location, common spaces that encourage relationships, and even temperature all play a key role in our workplace health. The conversation sheds light on how work isn't simply a place to invest time into productivity, but can positively or negatively impact our overall lives, and how redefining workplaces is a vital part of future discussions. “... if you're feeling too stressed or too activated, you want to do something that will tone down that stress response so you can perform at peak... If you're too stressed, you freeze, you're unable to focus. You're unable to do the job, the task at hand. So what helps you to move that stress response from the extreme danger zone back to performing at peak is places where you can go offline a little bit, where you can effectively meditate even though you're not sitting there with crossed legs in a lotus position in a yoga studio, although having spaces where some people can do that is is also beneficial. But a space, for example, [like] the gardens. To just walk in the gardens, to just take your brain off the computer for a while and focus on the green, on the plants.” - Dr. Esther SternbergAbout Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D.:Dr. Esther Sternberg is internationally recognized for her discoveries in the science of the mind-body interaction in illness and healing, and the role of place in wellbeing. She is a pioneer and major force in collaborative initiatives on mind-body-stress-wellness and environment interrelationships. A dynamic speaker, she engages her audience with passion for her subject and compassion as a physician. Through stories, she provides listeners with many take-home tips to help them cope with stress and thrive, and to create wellbeing spaces wherever they work or live. Dr. Sternberg's three popular, highly readable, informative, and scientifically based books are inspirations for lay persons and professionals alike, seeking answers to the complexities and 21st-century frontiers of stress, place, healing, and wellness. Her award-winning book, WELL at WORK: Creating Wellbeing in Any Workspace (Little, Brown Spark, 2023) was named a Top Ten Lifestyle Book for Fall 2023 by Publishers Weekly and received the OWL (Outstanding Works of Literature) Longlist Award. Her two previous science-for-the-lay public books, Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being and The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions, are landmark in its field. Healing Spaces was recognized by the President of the American Institute of Architects as an inspiration for launching the AIA's Design and Health Initiative and has inspired the implementation of healing spaces in hospitals across the country and around the world. Currently, Research Director, Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and Founding Director of the University of Arizona Institute on Place, Wellbeing & Performance, she holds the Inaugural Andrew Weil Chair for Research in Integrative Medicine and is a Research Professor of Medicine with joint appointments as Professor in Psychology, Architecture, and Planning & Landscape Architecture, and in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, School of Nutritional Sciences and Wellness.

Send us a textHow can we recover the essential human connections that make life meaningful and sustainable? How can we create a world where neighbors know each other's names, children play freely outdoors, and no parent faces the overwhelming challenges of raising children alone? Sarah van Gelder, founder of YES Magazine and author of "The Revolution Where You Live," joins us to explore the troubling fragmentation of our social structures and the promising alternatives emerging in response. A growing number of Danish households are single-person dwellings, and approximately 95% of Danish children attend daycare. There is a global trend toward smaller household units and increasing isolation that contributes to what the U.S. Surgeon General has called a mental health crisis of loneliness.Drawing from her experience raising children in a co-housing community and her 12,000-mile journey exploring grassroots solutions across America, Sarah van Gelder shares examples of how intentional communities create joy, support, and meaning. From worker-owned cooperatives transforming economic power dynamics to neighbourhood initiatives that rebuild social connections, these stories challenge the dominant narrative that privacy and independence should be our highest priorities.The conversation delves into the cultural forces driving our disconnection—media that emphasizes danger over cooperation, economic pressures that separate families, and the glorification of individualism that leaves people feeling they must solve all problems alone. The path toward more connected living doesn't necessarily require radical lifestyle changes—simple actions like organizing neighborhood gatherings or creating mutual aid networks can begin to rebuild our social fabric. 

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump invites Russia's Vladimir Putin to America, his first visit to U.S. soil in a decade. After months of Russia skirting cease-fire offers while continuing their brutal onslaught in Ukraine, President Trump skipped past his own sanctions deadline and instead invited Putin to Alaska. We hear from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova about what her country needs to agree to a cease-fire. Plus, we ask NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte what a potential deal might mean for European security. Then, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly and Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, two lawmakers from border states, tell us how the fresh infusion of cash from Trump's massive domestic policy bill is affecting mass deportation efforts in their states. Finally, the Trump administration says it will slash funding for mRNA vaccine research, an emerging field used in COVID vaccines that also showed promise in treating cancer and HIV. We'll get analysis from Doctor Jerome Adams, who was Surgeon General in Trump's first term.

If you got a COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna or Pfizer, congratulations, you got a vaccine that uses mRNA to teach your cells how to fight the disease. But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is doing his best to undermine their future use. On Tuesday, he announced the cancellation of $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at developing more mRNA vaccines. The decision has received near-universal condemnation from public health experts — even President Donald Trump's first-term Surgeon General said it will 'cost lives.' Dr. Fiona Havers, an infectious-disease specialist at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a former senior advisor on vaccine policy for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, joins us to talk about Kennedy's dangerous decision and the risk it poses to public health.And in headlines: President Donald Trump says he wants a new Census, The U.S. Air Force said it's denying the option to retire early to all trans service members who have served between 15 and 18 years, and tariff day is (unfortunately) finally here.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The host connects this to Alan Dershowitz's defense of military-enforced injections and a reckoning by formerly vaccine-compliant individuals. 03:09:14 – 03:09:40 – Chem Lawns and Corporate PoisoningA sarcastic anecdote mocks lawn pesticide companies, portraying them as proudly offering “chemical warfare” against homeowners' children and pets — a metaphor for toxic consumer normalization. 03:23:18 – 03:23:31 – Medical Profiteering in Long-Term CareThe post-acute care industry is revealed to be a nearly half-trillion dollar enterprise set to nearly double in size, pointing to the corporatization of eldercare and institutional medical dependence. 03:35:43 – 03:35:54 – Heartless Medical BureaucracyA listener's comment triggers a critique of the modern healthcare system as inhumane and unresponsive, suggesting cold indifference is now standard operating procedure. 03:46:31 – 03:46:46 – Intelligence Infighting and Hatred for TrumpThe host claims the deep state's hatred of Trump stems from internal power struggles among elites like Brennan, Comey, and Clapper, who allegedly despise each other as much as they do him. 03:59:07 – 03:59:55 – Populist Call to Support Independent MediaIn a final appeal, the host invites support for alternative media outlets and sponsors, blending commercial plugs with grassroots messaging on gold, homesteading, and financial independence.

America's health is in danger. We're not testing our food, water and drugs like we should. We're limiting access to vaccines. We aren't testing for covid or bird flu or any other communicable illness going around, and the people in charge of our health from the Administrator of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid to the Surgeon General are on a spectrum from quack science to anti science. On top of it all we have the MAHA movement on the rise with the power and financial grift of non-doctor, non-scientist RFK Jr. which will ultimately do the opposite of make America healthy. To discuss how much the group in charge of our health is actually bad for our health, we are joined today by Dr. Anahita Dua a cardiovascular surgeon, associate professor of surgery, and founder of Healthcare for Action.

Today we discuss MAHA, wearables, health, and Israel. RFK Jr. announced that he hopes that in four years, all Americans will be wearing health tracking devices. What are the implications for individual health? Is hypothesis-driven science being undermined? Will equity be used as a way to force this on people? What should we think of the fact that Casey Means, the nominee to Surgeon General, has a company that incorporates wearables? What does Yuval Noah Harari have to tell us? Does having your data uploaded to the cloud seem like a good idea? There seem to be two very different models of how to MAHA: 1) hone your intuition, trust your senses, and try to create an environment with as little exposure to hyper-novelty as possible; or 2) tech your way out of the problem, and trans-humanize your way to success. Also: Bret introduces Warner the wearables werewolf. Breaking news: Israel and the U.S. appear to have brokered a deal that includes several other countries in the Middle East, and leaves open the possibility of a two-state solution.*****Our sponsors:Brain.fm: intense music that boosts productivity.
