Do patients and their healthcare teams view the impact of indolent systemic mastocytosis on quality of life in the same way? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from a May 4, 2025, descriptive study from The Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology, “Patient and Advanced Practitioner Perspectives on Symptom Burden and Symptom Management in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis.” Is there a disconnect between what patients feel and what providers think when it comes to indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM)? A new study suggests yes, revealing a mismatch between how patients and advanced practitioners (APs) perceive disease control and what that means for care. This episode dives into whether research like this could help bridge the gap between patient experience and clinical perspective. What we cover in our episode about the indolent systemic mastocytosis: Understanding ISM: What makes indolent systemic mastocytosis a unique multisystem condition? Symptom burden explained: Frequency, severity, duration, distress, and functional interference. Patient vs practitioner views: Understanding the most impactful symptoms differs from patient to AP.  Practical tools: The Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis-Symptom Assessment Form (ISM-SAF) is a validated instrument that can be used to determine symptoms and severity. Barriers and solutions: Why tracking symptoms is hard and how clinics can improve coordination. AP-focused Toolkit: Resources to help nurse practitioners, PAs, and pharmacists provide patient-centered ISM care.

Their volatile, inconsistent messaging isn't new. Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the deeper story behind the chaos of how the Democrat Party has surrendered to its most radical base on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The Left knows that they are not polling well. They know that the party's base is controlling their narrative, and they know that that narrative supports issues from transgenderism, to an open border, to lax enforcement of criminal statutes, to something like Kabul, abroad, that has no public support. And they're angry.  “ Whatever Donald Trump has done to them—and maybe that will be his lasting legacy—he had the ability to expose what used to be Democrats, as absolutely unhinged and nihilistic. And I don't think anybody wants any part of them.”

Mitochondria give cells over 90% of their energy. Without proper energy cells cannot carry out their functions. Mitochondrial Dysfunction vs Mitochondrial Disease Mitochondrial dysfunction simply means that the mitochondria are not working correctly. Mitochondrial disease is the term used when the primary cause of mitochondrial dysfunction resides in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial disease is generally genetic. It can be inherited from either or both parents. A special type of mitochondrial disease is caused by mutations on the mitochondrial DNA, and is inherited only from the mother. When the primary cause of mitochondrial dysfunction resides outside the mitochondria, mitochondrial dysfunction is called “secondary” (to something else). Symptoms of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Cellular energy is necessary for the function of all cells, but is particularly critical for nerve and muscle. Both nerve and muscle are important in GI function, thus cyclic vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, poor GI mobility, and other digestive disorders are common. Additional potential complications of mitochondrial dysfunction include chronic fatigue, neuropathic pain, depression, autistic regression, seizures, hypoglycemia, visual and hearing difficulty, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, intellectual disability, and dysautonomia. Mitochondrial Triggers Mitochondrial dysfunction can be genetic, but even then, disease is often triggered by the environment. Viral infections are among the most common triggers of mitochondrial dysfunction. Additional potential triggers are other infections (e.g. lyme bacteria), vaccinations, toxins, anesthesia, and any other significant stressor. In order situations, mitochondrial dysfunction can be acquired. In fact, stroke and heart attack involve mitochondrial dysfunction, whereas cells are receiving insufficient oxygen for required energy metabolism. Many environmental toxins can poison mitochondria as well, including some pesticides... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/223

Examine the vulva in menopause consultations Biopsy is important for diagnosis Differentiating vulval conditions Treatment with potent topical steroids Referral considerations The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. Do you always examine the vulva in the menopause consult, or would you wait and see if the patient doesn’t have the expected response to vaginal oestrogen? How do we differentiate between lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, or lichen simplex chronicus? Do you think the itch of lichen sclerosus responds to vaginal oestrogen? Could you give this to a woman, and she’s going to get better, and you’ll never know that she had lichen sclerosus? What treatments do you use, and for how long? Can you take a punch biopsy from one site - the site that you think is perhaps the easiest to biopsy or looks the most affected? Is a 3 mm punch biopsy big enough? Do you have to pop a suture in? How do you manage the care of that biopsy after you’ve done it? Is referring to a dermatologist or gynaecologist better for biopsy? Which steroids do you use, for how long, and what results do you expect? How does a woman present with lichen planus?

Solving sleep issues may have just gotten easier with today's guest sharing her personal experience with CBD to help with Perimenopause Symptoms.  My guest today is a Flipping 50 community member who listened to a podcast and decided herself to try CBD when nothing she had been doing was working.    My Guest: Laura Scott is a former banker and corporate trainer who left the business world and dedicated her time raising her children. Over the past four years she cared for her parents as they rapidly declined at the same time perimenopause came knocking at her door. As her symptoms increased, she was deeply saddened and angered by the hopeless messaging around here that aging is a curse.  Laura researched, overhauled her diet and healed many of her symptoms through nutrition.

In today's world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health. Her insights, shared on a podcast with Wade Lightheart, highlight how these organs regulate metabolism, fat burning, and muscle building. When these organs are not working well due to toxins, stress, or poor nutrition, the body may have trouble losing fat and gaining muscle. Thyroid: Metabolic Master Switch The thyroid controls how the body makes energy. It affects our metabolism, body temperature, fat burning, mental clarity, mood, and hormone balance. Sarah notes that many people might have thyroid issues, even if tests look normal. Symptoms of a struggling thyroid include slow metabolism, fat gain, cold hands and feet, brain fog, fatigue, and muscle loss. Thyroid issues can prevent effective fat burning, no matter the diet or exercise. Liver: Metabolic Role The thyroid and liver work together. The liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3). If the liver is slow or congested, this conversion suffers, slowing down the thyroid. Modern lifestyles burden the liver with toxins, processed foods, and stress. This can lead to fat gain, slow metabolism, and hormonal imbalances. Liver stress can reduce thyroid and overall metabolic function. Iodine's Essential Role Iodine is important for thyroid function and every cell in the body. Many people are iodine deficient due to depleted soils, microplastics in salt, and competition from other chemicals. Iodine helps produce thyroid hormones, supports brain function, cellular energy, immune defense, and hormonal balance. It also helps detoxify heavy metals. Optimal iodine dosing is needed to overcome deficiency and remove toxins. Liver Detox for Results An overloaded liver can block fat burning, impair thyroid conversion, cause insulin resistance, and interfere with protein absorption. Sarah's approach uses herbs to stimulate bile flow, support detox, break down fatty liver, and optimize metabolism. Key ingredients include Milk Thistle and other herbs that help with liver health. A healthy liver allows the body to burn fat and build muscle safely. In this podcast you'll learn... Why iodine deficiency is a true health crisis. What are the causes of unexplained weight gain are. What the hidden causes of Insulin Resistance are. If you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. How the spike protein affected our health. How thyroid health affects mental health.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram LinkedIn

Most people get fired up about problems without ever asking if what they are looking at is actually the problem or just a symptom of something deeper. It is easier to get mad at what is visible than to trace it back to the cause. But if you are always treating symptoms, all you are really doing is staying sick in a slightly more comfortable way. In this episode, I walk through three examples that almost everyone is familiar with. Healthcare, college, and housing. These are not the only places this shows up, they are just easy to see.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, emphasizing the significant role fear plays in chronic symptoms. She explains how fear can manifest in various forms and how it can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.  The discussion covers the importance of understanding the symptom-fear cycle, breaking the fear loop, and reconditioning the brain to respond differently to symptoms. Ali also introduces the concept of somatic tracking as a tool for healing and encourages listeners to approach their symptoms with curiosity and gentleness.   Takeaways Many chronic symptoms may stem from brain patterns rather than physical damage. Fear can manifest in various forms, affecting our health. Changing our response to symptoms can help alleviate them. The symptom-fear cycle can create a feedback loop of anxiety and symptoms. Self-compassion and reducing pressure are crucial for healing. Predictive coding can lead to anticipating symptoms based on fear. It's essential to break the fear loop to regain control over symptoms. Reconditioning the brain involves teaching it that sensations are safe. Avoiding triggers can reinforce fear; exposure is necessary for healing. Somatic tracking is a powerful tool for changing the brain's relationship to symptoms.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: John W. Wilson, M.D. Tuberculosis remains a significant health concern. Globally, in 2023, an estimated 10 million individuals developed active tuberculosis and over one million died of the disease. In the U.S., just under 10, 000 individuals in the U.S. were diagnosed with TB, representing an increase over 2022. While tuberculosis remains a treatable disease, it's important to suspect and recognize those who may have it. A class 5 tuberculosis case is part of a TB classification system and refers to a suspected tuberculosis infection that requires further investigation. Symptoms may or may not be present and these patients may have an active TB case that could be contagious. This podcast is about class 5 tuberculosis cases, and my guest is infectious disease specialist, John W. Wilson, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.
