Burnout in health care settings is an all-too-common struggle for healthcare professionals. This month Dr. Jessi Gold explores the toll of the pandemic on health care workers and how these workers can overcome the emotional and psychological exhaustion that accompanies such a demanding field. The dangers of allowing burnout to fester can be catastrophic, not just for the individual, but for health systems as a whole, as the silent suffering of their workers can lead to inefficiencies in care and loss of public trust. She discusses her framework for confronting burnout and shares her approach of being vulnerable as a therapist with these patients to help encourage them to open up since they are so used to hiding their suffering. Dr. Jessi Gold, M.D., serves as the inaugural Chief Wellness Officer for the University of Tennessee System and as an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Dr. Gold graduated from the Yale School of Medicine and has received numerous awards and accolades for her contributions in mental health and psychiatry, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her first book, “HOW DO YOU FEEL?: One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine,” is available now and explores the personal tolls of a career spent healing others. “We've long believed that somehow if we just tried harder, this really hard thing that we do, where we listen to people's traumas and problems, that if we just became numb to it, that it won't affect us,” notes Dr. Gold. “Thinking like that never made sense to me. Of course, it affects us and, while it's not a weakness, it is something that we have to prepare for and factor into our approach.” Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Jessi Gold, MD, MS, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Chief Wellness Officer of the University of Tennessee, and author of the new book, “How Do You Feel?” Dr. Gold is the Wellness Officer for the 5 campuses of the University of Tennessee and its more than 60,000 students and almost 20,000 faculty and staff. During our 45-minute discussion, she related the history behind the adoption of “wellness” as a responsibility of institutions like universities and hospitals. She also explored how the relatively new concept of “work/life balance” can create tension in the workplace and paradoxically hinder students, residents, and faculty from achieving “wellness.” During COVID, Dr. Gold practiced psychiatry and saw first-hand how the pandemic brought her seriously ill mental health patients and affected her personally. One result of this experience was her new book, “How Do You Feel?” Part memoir and part COVID-health-care-worker-mental-health-chronicle, Dr. Gold shares the stories of four of her patients as well as her own.

Host Dr. Joel Berg is once again joined by Dr. Clarice Law, this time to discuss her recent move after two decades at one institution and her advice for others determining what their next steps may be. Dr. Law shares the multiple ways her career has evolved over the past three decades. Emphasizing all the opportunities the shift to academia has provided, she discusses the appeal of formally studying new tools and information impacting direct patient care and building up the next generation of pediatric dentists as a mentor.

Mental health professionals often provide support, but what happens when they need help themselves? In this episode, Dr. Jessi Gold and Gabe Howard explore burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the unique challenges doctors and therapists face. Using humor and honesty, they discuss the stigmas around mental health care providers seeking treatment themselves and the importance of "practicing what you preach." Dr. Gold reveals how burnout can manifest emotionally and physically, from depersonalization to feeling disconnected from personal accomplishments. She explains why mental health workers, who deal in emotions daily, often avoid addressing their own emotional struggles. The episode explores the delicate balance between maintaining empathy and protecting oneself from burnout, and Dr. Gold shares practical strategies for self-care – for professionals and patients. Whether you're a healthcare worker, a patient, or someone curious about the inner lives of mental health professionals, this episode offers a candid look into the emotional toll of caregiving. Listen Now! “And it did not help my burnout. I think that I do what a lot of people do, which is actually a symptom of burnout, which is depersonalization, which is disconnecting as much as humanly possible. And I think we learn that in training as a way to protect ourselves. But what happens with burnout or what happens when story after story after story is resonating too much is we kind of disconnect completely. And so we're no longer like that person is a person. We're sort of like, that's just another, like it's an object.” ~Jessi Gold, MD, MS This episode is sponsored, in part, by Cornbread Hemp.

Now it's increasingly clear that the brain's system for the flow of fluid, nutrients, and waste plays an important role in sleep and brain disease. With glymphatics in the spotlight, researchers are coming up with innovative ways to study this slow, constant flow of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain. Dr. Daniel Claassen is a Professor of Neurology and Chief of the Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology Division at Vanderbilt University, who researches the glymphatic system in humans. He'll talk about new directions in glymphatics research with Dr. Cheran Elangovan, a Vascular Neurologist at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Today, I'm blessed to welcome back Dr. Ken Berry, who has joined us on the show before to share his invaluable insights. He is a family physician, speaker, and author based in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. Dr. Berry received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. In this episode, Dr. Ken Berry advocates for the carnivore diet as one of the best dietary approaches for longevity due to its very low carbohydrate content, ability to reduce inflammation, and effectiveness in triggering satiety hormones. He argues that meat from domesticated animals is among the least inflammatory foods available, unlike plants, which have evolved chemical defense mechanisms that can cause inflammation in humans. Dr. Ken Berry says the carnivore diet is a powerful tool for those with autoimmune diseases, explaining that such conditions arise from a confused and misdirected immune system, not an "overactive" one. He criticizes conventional medical approaches that focus on suppressing the immune system rather than addressing the root causes of inflammation, often found in dietary choices. Many doctors fail to check A1C and fasting insulin levels, which can lead to missed early diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, resulting in years of preventable damage to the body. The problem stems from the reliance on fasting blood glucose tests alone, which can appear normal even in patients with dangerously high A1C levels.

In this show, Dr. Andrew Wilner, author of The Locum Life, describes why he loves medical writing and locum tenens as career options. In Part 1 last week, we learned how he became a neurologist and epileptologist who spent years as a full-time medical writer.

My guest for Episode #261 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Dr. Andrew Wilner, a board-certified internist, neurologist, and epilepsy specialist. In 1982, he discovered that locum tenens was the perfect solution for achieving work/life balance as a physician and writer. Dr. Wilner has practiced locum tenens in a variety of inpatient, outpatient, academic, and community settings. He is a prolific medical journalist and author of several books, including Bullets and Brains. Currently, Dr. Wilner is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, where he cares for patients, teaches, writes, and lives with his wife and baby boy. He's also host of the podcast “The Art of Medicine.” His latest book is The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens. In this episode, we discuss the concept of "locum tenens", a staffing solution that is steadily taking root in the world of healthcare. Locum tenens, which means "holding a place," provides medical professionals the flexibility of temporary placements in clinics or hospitals due to extended leaves or transitions between hires. Our guest for this episode, Dr. Andrew Wilner, a seasoned neurologist and epilepsy specialist, has thrived using the locum tenens approach. He gives insightful revelations about the career growth and personal satisfaction that come with adopting this method of staffing. In addition, Dr. Wilner gives an account of the human errors that can occur in healthcare settings. Using a personal tale about a mistake made during his training years, he emphasizes the necessity for checks and balances to prevent such occurrences. The discussion encourages healthcare professionals and administrations to approach healthcare provision not as invincible entities, but as humans who are prone to making mistakes. It is through such humility and acknowledgment of weaknesses that better healthcare systems can be fostered where errors are minimized and learning is continuous. Questions and Topics: How could that medication error happen? Sleep deprived Did the nurse challenge the order? More of an expectation to speak up now? A team effort to help you and help the patient? EHR risk of errors - wrong chart? New risks Human factors — 36 or even 24 hour shifts now?

Listen to ASCO's JCO Global Oncology's essay, “Capturing Memories for Children with Cancer in a Low-Resource Setting” by Dr. Allison Silverstein, an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. This Art of Global Oncology essay is followed by an interview with Silverstein and host Dr. Lidia Schapira. Silverstein shares her launch of a framed picture legacy project in Malawi for those with childhood cancer in a low-resource setting. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: Capturing Memories for Children With Cancer in a Low-Resource Setting (10.1200/GO.23.00001) I was the paparazza, capturing salient moments from our program's “Palliative Care Day” where children with cancer and their guardians played games, completed artwork, sang and danced, and enjoyed meals together. It was a precious day for these children with life limiting disease to shed the weight of their diagnoses and instead share laughter and joy with one another. As a pediatric resident on a global health year in Malawi, I was invited to document our team's activities with the intent to share with potential donors. However, with a click of the camera's button, I realized the opportunity for an unintended greater impact. I scrolled through the day's pictures and could not help but think the recipients of the pictures should not be strangers, but instead the families or even children themselves. Although families had already provided consent for each picture, they never expected to see them. Pictures capture moments in ways words cannot describe. Coming from a Western society where we celebrate and honor life in pictures, I wondered what happens when you do not have a camera or phone capable of capturing these events. What visual memories do you have when your child dies? Does it feel differently when remembering a lost child without pictures to look at? Do vivid memories fade and, in time, make it difficult to imagine your child's face? As I reflected on this, I acknowledged the overwhelming frequency of childhood cancer death in our setting—in contrast to a .80% survival rate for childhood cancer in the United States,1,2 the childhood cancer mortality rate is estimated to be as high as 90% in sub-Saharan Africa.3 Most of these children present with advanced disease, where disease directed treatment is less likely to be effective,4 and limited availability of medical and supportive care further contribute to poor outcomes. Although progressive medical infrastructure has sprouted across regions of sub-Saharan Africa to help address these disparities, widespread gaps exist in interdisciplinary services. Families of children with cancer face substantial psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual distress. Many families are fortunate to have robust community support, but we must consider how we, as a medical system, can further support families. Our role includes providing comfort to families, especially when curative medical therapy is not an option and a child's final days near. We must integrate humanities and holistic support for our families as we scale up global health programs, just as is already done in high income settings. So, when I set my camera aside, I earnestly turned to my local colleagues for their counsel. They grinned as they confirmed the potential value of my blossoming idea. I went to a nearby store where I printed the pictures and purchased basic supplies—glue, string, tape. We collected old boxes from prior hospital pharmacy deliveries and bought local vibrantly colored fabric—chitenje—from the market. From these materials, our first frame was designed. These local materials were obtained on a minimal budget. I shared the first picture and its frame with our social worker who presented the aunt of P with the picture (Fig 1); P had leukemia and had died recently from complications associated with central nervous system disease. In his picture, there he was, coloring during the event we held a few weeks prior. He wore sunglasses and shared that smirk we had all quickly fallen in love with. As she graciously accepted the frame, the corners of P's aunt's mouth turned upwards into a rarely seen smile; she bowed her head silently as we spent a moment remembering P and sharing in his memory. The next week, I had the privilege of joining our team on a bereavement visit to the home of B's father. B had recently died at home and our team visited to provide grief support and share prayers together. We sat in a circle on well-worn couches and chairs as B's father offered he did not have any physical belongings or keepsakes of his son beyond leftover medical supplies from home wound care management; any clothes or toys were passed along to other children and other families. As he shared with us, he removed a cloth covering their makeshift table to reveal a cardboard box, inside of which he retrieved these remaining medical supplies so they could be given to another family. We pulled out a framed picture of B that was taken before the program had formally started but was printed and framed just as the others. I watched as B's father's eyes welled up with tears in surprise and gratitude; he accepted the gift and stood to shake each of our hands. One by one, we started taking more pictures. My colleagues explained the idea of the project as we obtained consent from each new family. Often we were met with a bit of initial skepticism but also willingness to participate. Pictures were taken away from the crowded medical wards and instead in courtyards with benches, grass, and trees as possible. As we delivered the first batches of framed pictures to families, the skepticism was quickly replaced with enthusiasm, and families embraced the program. We could not seem to print consent forms fast enough, as caregivers changed outfits, brushed their hair, and sought us on the wards to request portraits. They claimed their pictures like prizes. Some of the children lived to see them. Others died. The picture project served as emotional support for families, most of whom had or would lose their children. In time, the program transitioned from volunteers constructing frames to caregivers themselves making the frames together; they sat in open green spaces and connected, providing an organic social support system for one another. With the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned to the United States to continue my training, and my colleagues in Malawi faced new challenges of their own. Just as staffing shifted at my home institution, so too were modifications made in Malawi to optimize patient and team safety. Although our framed photograph program paused similarly to many supportive care programs across the world, months later, my colleague shared a picture with me: a group of caregivers gathered on a lawn, a pile of frames and photographs scattered on the ground, the program restarted, and the memories being created and shared once more. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Hello and welcome to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology, which features essays and personal reflections from authors exploring their experience in the field of oncology. I'm your host, Dr. Lidia Schapira, Associate Editor for Art of Oncology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University. Today, we are joined by Dr. Allison Silverstein, an Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. In this episode, we will be discussing her Art of Global Oncology article, ‘Capturing Memories for Children with Cancer in a Low Resource Setting'. At the time of this recording, our guest has no disclosures. Allison, welcome to our podcast, and thank you for joining us. Dr. Allison Silverstein: Thank you so much for having me. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Allison, your essay captures an experience that you had when you were working in Malawi as a medical resident or pediatrics resident. Tell us a little bit about that. Dr. Allison Silverstein: Thank you. I participated in a four-year pediatrics global health residency where I completed three years of my residency in Houston, Texas, and one year of my residency abroad, working clinically in Lilongwe, Malawi. During that time, I split my time working with children who have HIV, as well as working in the pediatric hematology and oncology wards, both inpatient and outpatient. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Where did your passion for global health start, and where is it now? Where is it taking you? Dr. Allison Silverstein: I think I have always had a love of traveling and experiences, learning about new cultures, meeting new people. And when I was in medical school, I participated in a one-week more voluntourism-type trip, admittedly. And I remember handing a woman who had rheumatoid arthritis, like 30 pills of a medication, and leaving that encounter and feeling just gutted that either these medicines would work and in 30 days, she wouldn't be able to get more. Or they wouldn't work, and she wouldn't be able to follow up to try and help relieve her symptoms. And I came back from that trip and was just really excited to engage more in really sustainable practices. And so I've spent about two years cumulatively living abroad in a few different countries in Africa, and that has cultivated a passion for global work in terms of capacity building and policy, done some research, and then more recently, really engaging on a clinical level. Dr. Lidia Schapira: What was it like as a medical resident and practitioner in Malawi? Dr. Allison Silverstein: Gosh, I miss that time so much. Every day I was excited to go into work, and I felt this just passion and, truthfully, a personal value that I was a part of something really meaningful. I worked with just a group of incredible humans in all sorts of different disciplines, and being able to learn together and grow together was amazing. It was admittedly also scary at times. I was a resident and had to really acknowledge my limitations and what my comfort level was, coming from a very different setting. But I think I really ultimately embraced that and grew a lot throughout that experience. Dr. Lidia Schapira: So, in your essay, you describe meeting kids and families with cancer and introducing to them some new ideas. Tell us a little bit more about that. Dr. Allison Silverstein: I had a pretty decent camera, very point-and-shoot, knows more than I do about how to take pictures. And I remember participating in what we were calling a palliative care day, where children from their community and their families, as well as some within the hospital, were able to come and just create joy altogether. There was singing, there was dancing, and someone had asked if I would take some pictures to share with potential donors for the program. And, of course, I was ecstatic to get to join and be a part of things. And as I took pictures, I looked at them, and I just had this kind of an aha moment of this blossoming idea that the recipients of these pictures should really be the children and their families. Knowing that most of the children, especially the ones who were there for that particular day, ultimately would die. I approached a few of my Malawian colleagues who were so excited about this idea, and together we put together a project that I think we're all really proud of, as it has continued for now a few years and has impacted a lot of families. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Talk a little bit about this idea of memories and having a photograph that helps families who are grieving keep that memory of their child so present. Dr. Allison Silverstein: I think in general, in Western societies, within my family and my friends, pictures are such a common way to pay respects and to remember people. When I'm feeling nostalgic, I go through old pictures. I've lost all four of my grandparents and I'll look back at pictures that we took together and it just brings up a lot of memories and a lot of joy of the time that we spent together. With social media, people will post pictures of their loved ones after they die, and I think that's such an ingrained part of how we grieve and how we process during bereavement. And the idea to me that someone might not have a camera phone or a camera and therefore might not have any pictures of their loved ones when they die. That concept, when I first thought of it, very much shook me. It rattled me to my core thinking about how meaningful and important those things are for me. And it's such a small, simple thing that we absolutely take for granted. Dr. Lidia Schapira: When we think about resources and disparities or inequities in care, we don't usually think about it at this very granular level. I'm curious to learn a little bit more about how you develop this concept and transformed an idea into really a project and then how you got the project to continue even after you left Malawi. Dr. Allison Silverstein: It's a great question. I think in global work in general, it's really important to be intentional about surveying your community about what the needs are and not projecting from your internal opinions what those needs are. And so, of course, I took this picture, and there was this light bulb moment for me, and then I asked myself to step back and say, "Hey, is this truly meaningful? Is this truly valuable? And how can we create something that is sustainable?" So I asked multiple Malawian colleagues who kind of have different roles or disciplines on the team and said, "Hey, this is what I'm thinking. What do you think? What are your ideas?" And really work collaboratively, knowing I have different perspectives and resources and experiences, and we need to really make it, not me coming in and projecting those things. And so ultimately, everyone was very excited about this idea, and so we started tinkering with a design. Luckily, there was a Kodak store right next to where I got my groceries, and so I was able to print some photos very easily. And then in Malawi, there's something called Chitenge, which is this beautiful fabric that people will wear, and it will become different articles of clothing, and you can get yards of the fabric very inexpensively at a market. And so I took some scraps that I had and went to the pharmacy and got some cardboard boxes that were left over from prior delivery. So I was really trying to think about things that would be very low cost and repeatable and ultimately designed the first frame. After we had created this first prototype, we internally, the direct members of the team, were the ones who were making them initially, and we started training volunteers in the hospital. And ultimately, the current iteration is that guardians make their own frames, so they sit on a lawn together, and it serves as this opportunity for them to connect and share and serve as kind of a psychosocial support. This project, we started it towards the end of my time in Lilongwe and with COVID in March of 2020. I was not prepared to be coming back to the US. I was supposed to remain abroad for another month. And I remember getting a call saying, "You need to leave before there aren't any more flights." I said, "No, I can't. I haven't handed off this project yet." And so I met with our team. I created step-by-step instructions on how to make the frames and how to use a camera. They thankfully had a digital camera that they had used for some clinical work previously, and so got those nuts and bolts in place, and then I left. And it was about six months before I received a WhatsApp message from the social worker in Malawi saying, "Your dream lives on." I was at the airport. I don't remember where I was flying, and I just started crying. Because this was a project that I thought was valuable, and it was a project that I had engaged with colleagues and felt like they also thought it was valuable. But I wasn't sure until that moment that I received that message how meaningful and valuable it was perceived from the team and the families who were there. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Such a beautiful story, and I'm so glad that you chose to write and share it with your colleagues and that we were able to give it some exposure in the journal. I wonder if you can share with our listeners what other projects you might be involved with, now, again, thinking globally. Dr. Allison Silverstein: I am continuing to do some work with the team in Malawi and in Houston on a global scale. I did my fellowship training at University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and have done some global work with the team at St. Jude. And I'm now getting established in my new role at University of Colorado. And our pediatric palliative medicine team is exploring our ‘what's next' in terms of being leaders within the global health world. And so a lot of little things in progress and trying to figure out what's next. Dr. Lidia Schapira: What opportunities do you see for collaboration in the area of global health, especially global palliative medicine and oncology, the global health infrastructure? Dr. Allison Silverstein: The global health infrastructure is rapidly evolving. Even since I finished medical school until now, I've seen changes in resources and in opportunities, and it's really inspiring to see. A lot of that focus is on those medical interventions, and I think there's a lot of opportunities to think creatively how we can support families beyond just kind of curative or palliative treatment, beyond the medications, beyond the surgery, and think from a very holistic level of involving multiple disciplines and supporting families along their whole journey. Dr. Lidia Schapira: I wonder if during your time in Malawi and through this project of capturing the photos, framing, and then presenting them to families, you had any personal connection with members of families and if you can share with us perhaps some of their reactions or what they said to you. Dr. Allison Silverstein: I very much tried to be a support system for this program and not the face of this program, and so I tried to take a step back and empower my colleagues to really have an active role in the execution and the vision itself. I shared a couple of meaningful encounters in my narrative. I think one of the really special stories I have actually doesn't directly involve me, but I mentioned that I stay in close touch with a social worker in Malawi. And she recently went to a home for a bereavement visit after the passing of a child. And when they entered the home, there were three frames on the wall with pictures that they had taken while the child was alive. And seeing that picture, seeing that moment that the family had recognized the value and taken the initiative to not only accept and embrace these pictures and their frames, but to hang them in their home. That was a really special moment for me. Dr. Lidia Schapira: It sounds like it's been a very moving experience, very meaningful for you. And I wonder if you can reflect a little bit on how this experience perhaps has changed the way you think about palliative medicine and pediatrics. Dr. Allison Silverstein: I think I have realized how much of our role in medicine is about the little things and recognizing that the little things to me might not be little to someone else. And so taking that moment to listen and to hear a family's needs and think creatively and problem solve, no matter what they are articulating, this is something that I really try to practice both in my role in Denver and as I think of other roles that I fill and will grow into. And this project has really helped me frame some of my work in terms of those little things, as well as really enhanced my personal practice of gratitude and appreciation for the little things in my life. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Allison, thank you so much for your words, your wisdom, and the work that you're doing. I hope you continue to be inspired and creative, and I look forward to connecting in the future. Dr. Allison Silverstein: Thank you so much for having me today and letting me share about this project and my passions. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Until next time.

This video honors Dr. Mark Corkins, Division Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Dr. Corkins said he was fortunate in that nutrition was a focus in every step of his training. In medical school, his biochemistry professor said that students didn't get enough nutrition and was given an hour each week to teach it. He later found out this focus on nutrition was not the norm in medical training. Dr. Corkins works as an academic physician and loves to teach nutrition. He says there are still huge holes in nutrition knowledge, despite significant progress in recent years. There are still lots of questions that need answers. He advises junior faculty to pick one question and answer it well—do it right, and more questions will follow. He also shares how ASPEN has helped him advance and grow professionally. Physician Spotlight is a forum for outstanding Senior Leaders, Young Rising Stars, and International Colleagues in the field of nutrition to discuss important topics and ideas that impact patient care.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with associated lower urinary tract symptoms occurs increasingly as men age. Estimates suggest that around 50% of men in the 50 to 60 age group feel the effects of BPH, and the prevalence increases with each decade. Herbal supplements made from the berries of the saw palmetto palm tree are widely taken to lessen symptoms. But the effectiveness of these supplements has not been established. The use of plant-derived nutritional supplements to impact wellness and healthy aging does not often come up on the radar of busy physicians. So my attention was caught by the publication of a consensus report by 7 urologists from North America and Europe, about the value of saw palmetto extract in the management of prostate conditions. My guest today is one of the panelists, Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt. Dr. Brahmbhatt earned his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, completed his residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and his fellowship in robotic microsurgery and male infertility at the University of Florida. He is board-certified through the American Board of Urology and is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Brahmbhatt specializes in urology problems affecting both women and men, such as kidney stones, overactive bladder, enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction, and low testosterone. He is a fellowship-trained microsurgeon who has helped advance the use of robotics for men with infertility and chronic testicular pain. Dr. Brahmbhatt also co-founded the nonprofit initiative Drive 4 Men's Health, to raise awareness of men's health issues. We discuss why and how the consensus report was developed and factors that may contribute to development of BPH. Despite over 50 studies looking at the benefits of saw palmetto, research has been complicated by the variety of supplements used. We also discuss the importance of using only a high quality supplement containing an effective amount of Serenoa repens berry extract fatty acids from a reputable source. Schedule a free Discovery Call with me to learn more about aging youthfully, and discover a saw palmetto supplement to support healthy prostate function and protect against free radical damage.

[REPLAY EPISODE] Today, I am blessed to have here with me for a THIRD time, a Family Physician, Speaker, and Author, Ken D Berry, MD. Dr. Berry was born in Linden, Tennessee, and grew up in the very small Southern town of Hohenwald, Tennessee. He received a Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, in Animal Biology and Psychology, from Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1996. He received his MD from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2000. Dr. Berry has been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade. He is board-certified in Family Medicine, and has been awarded the degree of Fellow, by the American Academy of Family Physicians. Having seen over 20,000 patients during his career of all ages, he is uniquely qualified to write on both acute and chronic diseases. More and more, Dr. Berry has focused on the chronic diseases caused by the Standard American Diet and Lifestyle, and has made it his mission to turn the tide on the epidemic of Type 2 Diabetes, chronic inflammation, and dementia. Dr. Berry has four children, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 7 peacocks. He, and his beautiful wife Neisha, live on their farm in Holladay, TN. In this episode, Dr. Berry dives into the causes of chronic, inappropriate inflammation. He tells us about the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, why dairy can be the root of your inflammation issues, and he even shares another inflammatory food that might surprise you! Dr. Berry also goes into the carnivore diet and what lab markers are important for inflammation. Lastly, Dr. Berry answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners and tells us about his upcoming projects!

Chronic Inflammation First off, there are good and useful inflammations. Acute inflammation is where you get injured from a sprained ankle, for example, the swelling there is good; it's the first step in healing. Acute inflammation is not what we are talking about today. The enemy; is chronic, inappropriate inflammation. This inflammation is almost always caused by something in your environment getting into your body. It can be caused by something you eat, drink, or chemicals and toxins that you are exposed to in your environment. This leads to chronic inflammation in your body while it is trying to cope with the everyday insult of the toxins. [09:50] Metabolic Health: Inflammation, Obesity, And The Concerns Around Dairy Products Up until about year five, children drink milk regularly and are able to process it well. However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose. In fact, at least two-thirds of adults are lactose intolerant. This means for most adults, the bovine proteins and amino acids in dairy are inflammatory. As for cheese, some are better than others when it comes to inflammation. Berry explains that the further the cheese has been removed from liquid milk, the less inflammatory in most cases. For example, hard cheeses like parmesan have been fermented for a long time and will cause the least amount of inflammation. A dairy-free month is great to determine if your issues, such as chronic inflammation, gut issues, and trouble losing weight, come from your intake of dairy products. [18:30] Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts. Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss. Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive. A good way to eat nuts is occasionally, not every day. Eating them occasionally is probably fine because it mirrors our ancestors' behavior. [23:23] Why The Carnivore Diet Is Beneficial For Reducing Inflammation The carnivore diet, by definition, is the lowest carbohydrate diet you can eat. It is as close to zero carb as you can get. It also eliminates all the other foods that people could potentially be allergic to, such as the proteins in dairy or the phytochemicals in plants. Berry believes that meat and eggs are the least inflammatory foods on the planet, not including water. Meat is also the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, especially if you add organ meat to your diet. [31:28] Essential Lab Markers To Get When Assessing Your Inflammation For inflammation, good markers to get are CRP, whether it's high sensitivity or cardiac, sed rate and ESR are great. Another is homocysteine, as well as the ferritin level. Many people think ferritin is just a marker of iron deficiency, but it is way more than that. If a patient is over 35, these are all lab markers that should be checked to tell the doctor so much about their metabolic health. Without these labs, someone could be walking around with pre-diabetes, undiagnosed hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc. This is crucial information to determine their metabolic health. [36:48] Are Statins Always Necessary When Cholesterol is Elevated? If a patient has good levels otherwise, has never had a heart attack, and has a CAC score less than 1000, there is no research showing that they would benefit from taking a statin. If the patient has had a heart attack in the past or has a CAC above 1000, they may benefit from a low dose. Elevated cholesterol can become “background noise” or not a sense of concern if you have transformed your health overall. AND MUCH MORE!
