What if the key to fixing your sexual health wasn't just about you, but your partner too? Discover why treating sexual dysfunction is a team effort—and how we've been getting it wrong.When it comes to sexual health, the focus is often one-sided. But the reality is that sexual dysfunction is rarely an individual issue—it's a couple's disease.I talk with Dr. Mohit Khera, renowned urologist and past president of SMSNA, to unpack the disparities in sexual health treatment for men and women and why it's time to rethink our approach.Dr. Khera shares personal insights from his career, revealing how focusing on one partner's libido or function can create unexpected challenges in a relationship. We explore the hidden world of male sexual dysfunction, from erectile dysfunction to Peyronie's disease, and uncover why women's sexual health still lags behind in research, funding, and treatment options.We also tackle the controversial topic of testosterone—its impact on men and women, the myths around its use, and why it's still inaccessible for women despite clear benefits. Dr. Khera offers actionable advice on lifestyle changes, sleep, and stress management that can dramatically improve sexual function for both partners.This isn't just about medicine—it's about partnership, communication, and the power of addressing sexual health as a team. Join us for a candid discussion that might change the way you think about intimacy, health, and what it means to truly support your partner.Highlights:Why sexual dysfunction is a “couple's disease” and how treating one partner impacts the other.The silent epidemic of Peyronie's disease and its profound emotional toll.The overlooked benefits of testosterone for women and why FDA-approved options remain elusive.How lifestyle changes like the Mediterranean diet, exercise, and sleep can reverse sexual dysfunction.The importance of destigmatizing sexual health concerns and advocating for the right care.If this episode resonated with you, don't keep it to yourself!

Alpha-synuclein plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, and researchers have been investigating this protein as a therapeutic target and also as a potential biomarker for the disease. The alpha-synuclein seed amplification assay, developed by Dr. Claudio Soto and colleagues, leverages the self-replicating nature of the misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins that form aggregates in Parkinson's disease. Amplifying misfolded alpha-synuclein can allow researchers and clinicians to detect the presence of the pathological form of the protein in biospecimens, even when the amount of misfolded alpha-synuclein in a sample is very low. In this episode, Claudio discusses his work in this area and how it has opened the doors for a variety of potential uses of the alpha-synuclein seed amplification assay, including applications in diagnosis, clinical trials, and drug development for Parkinson's disease.This year, Claudio received the 2024 Robert A. Pritzker Prize for Leadership in Parkinson's Research for his substantial contributions to research and his commitment to mentoring the next generation of scientists in the field. Claudio is the Huffington's Distinguished University Chair, Professor of Neurology, and Director of the George and Cynthia Mitchell Center for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Brain Disorders at The University of Texas Medical School in Houston. He is also the Founder, Vice-President, and Chief Scientific Officer at AMPRION Inc.This podcast is geared toward researchers and clinicians.

A tragic incident - a brain injury, a stroke, the development of a neurodegenerative disease, and all of a sudden, a patient's arm no longer belongs to them. It will pull their hair, pinch their cheeks, and grab miscellaneous objects, seemingly developing a mind of its own.

Vampiro Trilogy: Volume I: The Night Crawler Protocol About the Author A native of Houston, Donald W. Hill, MD, FACP, graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, in 1978. After completing his medical school training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 1982, Dr. Hill did his postgraduate training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in 1987. At the time he cowrote this novel, Dr. Hill had completed over thirty years of medical practice that included working in multispecialty clinics, solo practice, and everything in between, including academia and clinical research. A fellow of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Hill is a published scholar, but Vampiro is only his second attempt at serial fiction after completing his groundbreaking masterpiece, The DNR Trilogy. Although he's now back on the mainland, Dr. Hill was living and working in Hawaii when he cowrote this novel. Dr. Hill has openly professed that he does not personally enjoy the genre of science fiction and, to be more specific, the subgenre of vampirism. During the time that this work of fiction was cowritten, the author often stated to anybody willing to listen that the possible existence of bloodthirsty ghouls was quite a disturbing concept. If there's such a thing as a vampiro that's indeed roaming some remote corner in the desert of the great American Southwest, Dr. Hill truly doesn't want to be privy to such a horrifying reality. Nonetheless, he accepted the challenge from Thomas Cavaretta to be a coauthor (as well as a coconspirator) to collaborate on this project. It was Dr. Hill's specific task to conjure up a plausible medical and scientific explanation for human vampirism from the perspective of a practicing hematologist/oncologist. If Dr. Hill was indeed successful in this endeavor, the reader will be the final arbiter to opine if this lofty goal was achieved. In the meantime, turn on the night light and make sure all the doors and windows are locked shut.

For someone who lives with mitochondrial disease, understanding the "big picture" is important. Dr. Koenig will explore the importance of caring for the whole patient when managing mitochondrial disease. How does each organ system affect others when looking at the "whole" person? For example, can treating anemia improve sleep? Can appropriate management of epilepsy improve a child's ability to learn and attend school? Naturally, the symptoms and issues related to one's mitochondrial disease diagnosis are not isolated to one part of the body, and consideration of the impact that these symptoms have on the "whole person" is important. About the Speaker Dr. Mary Kay Koenig, a pediatric neurologist at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Child and Adolescent Neurology, at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston.

The Doctor Dads bring on returning guest Dr. Osvaldo Gaytan again to talk about mental health. Dr. Gaytan is a wealth of knowledge and has begun a new journey to change the approach of how mental/behavioral health challenges are treated. Getting the whole person well takes educating the patient on the importance of lifestyle medicine and the impact it has on their brain and mind. Diet, exercise, and mindfulness practices like meditation/prayer are pillars of our mental health and play a foundational role in healing. We discuss the importance of taking a holistic approach to one's mental health issues and why medication is not a long-term solution for anyone who struggles from mental/behavioral health challenges.

“Time” and “the brain” are two of those things that are somewhat mysterious, but it would be hard for us to live without. So just imagine how much fun it is to bring them together. Dean Buonomano is one of the leading neuroscientists studying how our brains perceive time, which is part of the bigger issue of how we construct models of the physical world around us. We talk about how the brain tells time very differently than the clocks that we’re used to, using different neuronal mechanisms for different timescales. This brings us to a very interesting conversation about the nature of time itself — Dean is a presentist, who believes that only the current moment qualifies as “real,” but we don’t hold that against him.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Dean Buonomano received his Ph.D. from the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Texas Medical School, Houston. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at UCLA. His lab studies how the brain perceives time and constructs models of the external physical world.

Healthcare in the pandemic era requires thoughtful innovation. One physician who's up to the challenge is cardiologist Dr. Asif Ali, Chief Medical Officer of Preventric and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. In this sprightly conversation with Lisa Butcher, Senior Director of Digital Engagement at EPAM, Ali tells many stories. One of which involves a patient he calls “Arthur,” a man who weighed 700 pounds and went into sudden cardiac arrest during his first visit to Ali's office. “With his obesity, no doctor would touch him, no bariatric surgeon would touch him, because he had this sudden cardiac arrest,” Ali says. But thanks to chronic care- and remote patient management—plus a donated wearable and a diabetes-prevention program-provided nutritionist—Arthur lost over 450 pounds! But this is just one of the dramatic stories on this episode of *The Resonance Test.* Ali and Butcher dig deep into the collection of data and the treatment of vascular disease, medical consumerism, artificial intelligence and machine learning, the importance of partnerships, and what Ali calls “point-of-care decision making.” You'll want to hit play on this conversation with a doctor who has a heart and understands exactly what makes it tick.

Sometimes when I overhear a conversation/argument about telehealth, it occurs to me that there’s a lot of fighting words about some things and very, very little about other things which I’d regard as equally, or maybe even more, important. Some of the sparring tends to jump immediately to tactics and UX (user experience), absent of strategy and CX (customer experience). In my experience, you can’t talk about a user interface until you talk about the overall customer experience and journey and what your goal is. So, here’s what I mean: Let’s take urgent care as an analog. Say a patient goes to urgent care with symptoms consistent of allergic asthma. The NP (nurse practitioner) gives the patient strict instructions to take an antihistamine and Flonase and Flovent. She tells the patient to be sure to make a follow-up with their PCP (primary care provider) to evaluate how it’s going. If the patient doesn’t make a follow-up visit, do we suggest it’s because the live in-person visit should have been telehealth? Or if the patient is nonadherent and winds up in the hospital with a full-blown asthma attack, do we suggest that live in-person visits diminish adherence? Let me respectfully suggest that it’d be a solid no on that. This is exactly why, whenever I listen to a diatribe about how telehealth did not work out for a patient, I find it interesting to ask a couple of questions. The question that I tend to ask when someone starts talking about some telehealth fail is “How did it fail?” How did it not work out? And the answer to this question tends to be similar to the above allergic asthma example: that the patient needed lab work or imaging or a follow-up visit, and that couldn’t be done via telehealth. There was no resolution to the patient concern, in other words. Okay … so, first of all, most practices don’t have immediate on-premises lab work or imaging, so the patient would have had to have gone somewhere else to get it anyway. But even if they did, as far as I know, you can’t have a follow-up visit at the same time that you have the first visit. Not to be cheeky, but that’s why they call it a follow-up visit. Then the next logical question is, if the patient doesn’t show up for a follow-up, if the patient were in person, what’s the greater likelihood that they would have gone for the lab test and/or come back for the follow-up? This is when you start to realize that the setting of care (ie, virtual or in person) may be a little bit less important than the agency of the provider involved. And it may be a little less important than the structure of the organization sitting around that patient encounter. Said another way, strategically, what are we doing here? What are we trying to accomplish? What’s our road map to get the patient from where they are now to wherever that goal is? A patient visit is a tactic. It’s one point in time. And that’s true regardless of whether it’s a remote visit or an in-person one, synchronous or asynchronous. A patient visit or interaction is not a care pathway. It is rarely, if ever, a magic bullet one and done. But that doesn’t stop us from thinking about patient encounters, one encounter at a time, which may be exactly why we wound up with a fragmented health care system that doesn’t work very well. But I digress. So, from what I can see, some of the flaws that some people attribute to telehealth might be more properly construed as flaws to the ecosystem in which the telehealth is being deployed. For example, how much agency or data or infrastructure does the provider behind the camera have to see where the patient is in their treatment journey and make sure that they get to that next milestone? Because in cases where the doctor behind the camera or the telephone or the text message has agency and the telehealth visit is part of a defined patient journey, telehealth results are strikingly comparable to not telehealth results, if not better. If we’re contemplating a patient journey or a treatment journey, writ large, the site of care at any moment in time is a secondary or tertiary factor—certainly not a primary one. Here’s what I want to know about telehealth. How do you best use it, not as a point solution but as part of a larger whole? How do you optimize a telehealth encounter so it pulls its weight in helping patients get a resolution to their chief complaint or manage their chronic conditions? Christian Milaster has written about this in his Telehealth Tuesday newsletter, which is great, by the way. Christian wrote that the delivery of care, when viewed through the eyes of a systems engineer (which he is), becomes a quite simple four-step process. These are the four steps that Christian says. He says, the first step is assessment, which leads to a diagnosis, which is step two. Step three is the development of a treatment plan. And then step four is the implementation of that treatment plan.   Amongst other sidebars, I talk about these four steps in this health care podcast with Blake McKinney, MD. Dr. McKinney is an ER doc as well as the cofounder and CMO over at CirrusMD. In our conversation, Dr. McKinney actually comes up with one more step to add to the four-step process. It’s kind of a pre-step, where the patient decides that he or she needs care to begin with. You can learn more at cirrusmd.com.   Blake McKinney, MD, cofounder of CirrusMD, had a vision: to enable every person to have a better experience accessing health care services. Blake observed the barriers his patients were up against in seeking care and, at the same time, saw that his friends and family were able to reach out to him directly for guidance, most often via text. CirrusMD was created so everyone seeking care could immediately connect and communicate with a real doctor in this way. Partnering with Andy Altorfer in 2012, Blake and the CirrusMD team have built a platform to achieve this vision of an improved health care experience. Through the years, this path has been guided by Blake’s clinical insight and ongoing, practice-based understanding of the needs of both patients and doctors. Dr. McKinney completed his internship and residency at the University of California Davis after graduating from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. Prior to medical school, he served 4 years as a communications intelligence officer in the United States Marine Corps. 06:53 “Regardless of the availability of convenient options, there is one force more powerful than convenience, and that is familiarity.” 09:01 “Telemedicine that is continuity based is going to be better medicine fundamentally.” 13:21 “The fundamentals of medicine are the same, and the standard of care is the same, whether the care is in person or in clinic.” 15:16 What’s the underlying determinant of patient success? 16:08 “When it comes to the ‘What’s next,’ doctors love resources.” 16:52 How is telemedicine lacking in resources? 18:42 “Implementation to me is, first and foremost, about follow-up.” 23:10 “There’s a place for automations.

Dr. Steven F. Hotze is the founder and CEO of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, Hotze Vitamins, and Physicians Preference Pharmacy International, LLC. His goal is to change the way women and men are treated through natural medicine and procedures such as hormone therapy and regenerative treatments. Dr. Hotze earned his M.D. from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. He is the president of the American Academy of Biologically Identical Hormone Therapy (AABIHT), a member of the Pan American Allergy Society (PAAS), and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS).  Dr. Hotze has also written two books for people who are eager to take charge of their health.  I spent most of adrive from Michigan to Atlanta listening to his first book, “https://www.amazon.com/Hormones-Health-Happiness-Rediscovering-Bioidentical/dp/1599323990 (Hormones, Health, and Happiness,”) which focuses on bioidentical hormones, and his second book is “https://www.amazon.com/Hypothyroidism-Health-Happiness-Illness-Revealed/dp/1599323966 (Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness,”) which discusses why hypothyroidism is so underdiagnosed and what to do about it. And that's really the central topic of this week's conversation — hypothyroidism. I know quite a few people that have had their thyroid ripped out because they did not know any better and trusted their allopathic physician, but there are other options. Many Western doctors just aren't interested in helping people heal their body naturally, without invasive and potentially harmful procedures. Luckily, Dr. Hotze has some great resources for anyone experiencing the symptoms of hypothyroidism—including a https://www.hotzehwc.com/symptom-checker/ (symptom checker) if you're not sure— and tips for how you can advocate for your own health if you want to start tackling your symptoms without an invasive surgery.  -- Resources: Hotze Health & Wellness Center: https://www.hotzehwc.com/ (www.hotzehwc.com) Twitter: https://twitter.com/hotzehealth (twitter.com/hotzehealth) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HotzeHWC (www.facebook.com/HotzeHWC) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotzehealth/ (www.instagram.com/hotzehealth) Physicians Preference Pharmacy  https://physicianspreferencerx.com/ (physicianspreferencerx.com) Hotze Vitamins https://www.hotzevitamins.com/ (https://www.hotzevitamins.com) Read: “https://www.amazon.com/Hypothyroidism-Health-Happiness-Illness-Revealed/dp/1599323966 (Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness”) Do you want more to empower yourself through healthy living?

Greetings, SuperFriends! In this week's episode, we are once again joined by Dr. Ann Shippy, a former IBM engineer turned traditional medicine doctor, turned functional medicine doctor, turned author, and TEDx speaker. She attended the University of Texas Medical School, after leaving a career at IBM engineering for 10 years. Today she runs a thriving medical practice in Austin, Texas, and is board certified in internal medicine and functional medicine. Now, I wanted to have Dr. Shippy back on the show because, last time, we talked more about fasting and preventing disease, but I wanted to get a better sense of, first off, what epigenetics is, and what it practically means for us. And then I wanted to go a little deeper into mold, because Dr. Shippy has actually written an entire book on mold, as well as go a little deeper on diet, too. So, we expand on everything we talked about last time in the episode, and we also refresh and relearn. I really enjoyed this episode and I learned quite a bit, and that's a pretty good indication that you are going to enjoy this conversation as well! -Jonathan Levi

What You'll Learn: - The difference between mold allergy, mold toxicity, MVOCs, and mycotoxins. - The symptoms associated with mold toxicity, and how to test for mold in your home and your body. - How to recover from mold toxicity. *BONUS* Download this free fact sheet, “Could It Be Mold?” at www.AnnShippyMD.com/Mold About Dr. Ann Shippy: Dr. Ann Shippy is on a mission to educate and help people across the world live the healthiest, most optimal lives possible using cutting-edge science, research, and genetic information to find and treat root causes–not just symptoms–of illness. Specializing in environmental toxicity, preconception, and reproductive wellness, and mold exposure, Dr. Shippy has designed life-altering treatments and protocols for her patients using epigenetic information (the study of DNA expression) and the human body’s incredible ability to express or repress helpful or detrimental genes, as well as prevent, heal and even reverse certain illnesses. After a decade of working as an IBM engineer, her challenging experience with traditional medicine motivated her to search for her own health answers, so she left engineering to attend the University of Texas Medical School so that she could practice medicine differently. Shippy is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and a certified Functional Medicine physician with a thriving practice in Austin, Texas. She is also the author of two books and is currently working on a third. She believes that we can Get Better With Age™ and everyone deserves to live well.

Key Takeaways: Dr. Ann was an engineer for IBM but had a career transformation and became a doctor, after facing serious health challenges. Dr. Ann works with a wide variety of people: young people who are losing hope with their health and people inspired to have the best health they can; she also helps women have the healthiest babies possible. Dr. Ann shares her process and how she begins to treat a patient. It’s important to take a look at everything, including health and sleeping patterns. Dr. Ann also takes a look at ways her patients can better manage stress. She tries to bridge the best of traditional allopathic medicine with functional medicine. One of the most common infections Dr. Ann sees is mold exposure. How can we best grow older while also feeling younger? Dr. Ann runs a series of tests. She shares what she is looking for to help optimize your health. We have an epidemic of autoimmune disease in this country. Dr. Ann likes to do a screening on these to help her patients incorporate best practices before they occur. What is epigenetics? Our genes can be modified just by the way we’re thinking. How is that possible?   Episode Summary: Dr. Ann Shippy combines both traditional medicine and functional medicine to help her patients discover what’s really holding them back health-wise. Dr. Ann shares the types of tests she likes to run on her patients, how to best grow older while also feeling younger, and discusses how epigenetics is actually showing us that we’re in control of our own health.   Guest Bio: Dr. Ann Shippy began her career in medicine when the traditional approach and the application of allopathic medicine could not solve her own health issues. At the time, she was working as an IBM engineer for over a decade, but when she became so frustrated with her healthcare situation she decided to leave the field of engineering and attend The University of Texas Medical School.   Dr. Ann’s approach to medicine is a unique blend of measured, precise data with a heartfelt and sympathetic attitude towards all of her patients. This method stems from her engineering background and her own failed experience as a patient of traditional medicine. Currently, she treats patients suffering from any combination of physical, environmental, or genetic issues.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: Dr. Robyn Benson’s Free Youthful Aging eGuide Biofieldhealinginstitute.com Connect with Dr. Ann: Annshippymd.com & Dr. Ann’s free offer: Free Environmental toxicity guide and a 15% coupon on Liposomal glutathione.   Quotes:   “It’s really about bridging the best of traditional allopathic medicine with functional medicine.”   “I really do think we can get better with age, especially the more we learn about our specific bodies.”   “If you’re not doing as good as you did in your teens, 20s, 30s, that’s something to really look at.”   “Meditation is one of the best things we can be doing to help ourselves. Even people who think they’re not good at meditating get a huge benefit from meditation.”

In this episode, Marc covers the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation, and the Baby Boom Generation in America, from the events and technologies that shaped them, to the life choices they made.   Key Takeaways: [1:13] Marc welcomes you to Episode 112 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Career Pivot brings this podcast to you. CareerPivot.com is one of the very few websites dedicated to those of us in the second half of life and our careers.

Share it on social media or just tell your friends, neighbors, and colleagues. The more people Marc can reach, the more he can help. [2:07] In this week’s podcast, Marc will continue a short series of episodes based on his Multi-generational Workplace Workshop. Marc will deliver this workshop on March 7th at the Texas Hospital Insurance Exchange and it was suggested to him that he might want to make a podcast series of it. [2:23] Last week, Marc published a blog post, “The Ubiquitous Access to Information and a Generational Rift,” based on the idea that how people obtain information is changing rapidly. [2:42] When doctors are trained, memorization of medical information has decreased because it is so readily available. Marc learned this from the Dean of the University of Texas Medical School at a breakfast club. The roomful of Baby Boomers showed shocked faces. [3:09] Because things are readily available, we don’t memorize anymore and we don’t have to. That scares most Baby Boomers. [3:19] If you did not listen to Part 1 of this series, Marc suggests you go back and listen to that, first. In this episode, Marc will cover the Greatest, the Silent, and the Baby Boomer Generations in this episode. Next week, Marc will cover Gen X and Gen Y — why they don’t necessarily get along and why we sometimes misinterpret them. [3:43] Marc welcomes you to the second installment of “The Multi-generational Workplace — ‘Why can’t we all get along?’” In the workshop, March shows five flipcharts, one for each generation. Each flipchart has areas for events, technology, communications, learning, and how we research “What is the capital Madagascar?” [4:22] Each flipchart talks about our parents (of Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y) and which presidents came from each generation. [4:37] The Greatest Generation are those born from 1900 to 1924. Every single male of this generation served in the military or in public service. You might pause the podcast to consider what events catalyzed this generation. [5:24] WWII and the Great Depression completely galvanized this generation. As a result, they believed in big government and they saved money ‘like crazy,’ Marc’s father graduated from college in ’42 and enlisted in the Army. Marc joked that his father wasn’t frugal, he was cheap. [6:12] You might pause the podcast and ponder what technologies affected this generation. [6:28] This generation was all about transportation. They were the first to have automobiles, and the U.S. Interstate Highway system was created after WWII. [7:01] When this generation left home, how did they communicate back with their families? You might pause the podcast and consider it. [7:25] This generation wrote letters. Written communication was the foundation of this generation. They wrote by hand in cursive. Do not hand a letter in cursive to a Millennial. They may not be able to read it! [7:59] Marc will show there has been a transformation between generations from written to audio and back to a form of written communications. [8:21] How did this generation research the question, “What is the capital of Madagascar?” How did they learn? You might pause your podcast and think about it. [8:37] The encyclopedia? World Book did not become prevalent until the 1950s. This generation very likely had to go to the library and find an atlas or a globe. They did not have information that was readily available in their homes. They had to go somewhere to go find the answer. [9:34] The Greatest Generation or G.I. Generation produced every president from JFK all the way to George Bush, Sr. The Greatest Generation has had their fingerprints on almost everything for 40 to 50 years. [10:13] The Silent Generation or Traditional Generation was born from 1925 to 1945. What events do you think affected this generation? You might pause the podcast to consider. [10:35] The events that affected this generation are WWII and the JFK assassination. The assassination was a real shocker. Marc remembers Dallas at the time of the assassination. [11:41] What technology affected and galvanized this generation? You might pause the podcast to think about it. [12:01] There were two very significant technologies. The first was the telephone and the second was “the pill.” The pill had a massive effect on this generation through birth control. Divorce rates soared among this generation, which is why so many of Generation X ended up being latchkey kids growing up in households of divorce. [13:01] This was the first generation where we had telephones. They still wrote letters, but calling was a step to auditory communications from a distance. [13:47] How did this generation research the capital of Madagascar? They still probably had to go to the library. Encyclopedias did not become prevalent until the Baby Boomers. [14:38] The Silent Generation has produced zero presidents. They’ve had some candidates, most recently, John McCain. We very likely will not have a president from the Silent Generation. [15:23] Because the Silent Generation was so small, they have not had the impact, politically, that the Greatest Generation has had, or that Baby Boomers have had. Generation X is also a small generation. [15:46] Baby Boomers were born from 1946 to 1964. What events affected this generation? You might pause the podcast to think about it? Jot down some ideas. [16:20] Two critical events galvanized Baby Boomers. One was Vietnam. Marc has seen television newscasts from that period at the U.S. History Museum. The ramp up into the Vietnam War was fast. Marc contrasts it with the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. [17:21] Watergate was the second event that affected the Baby Boom Generation. Both these events made us very distrustful of big government. If you were born from 1946 to 1955, you were probably affected by Vietnam. If you were born 1956 to 1964, you were affected more by Watergate. [18:01] Marc remembers in the summer of 1972 watching the Watergate Hearings daily after his work shift at the Howard Johnson's. Early Boomers affected by Vietnam, delayed marriage and stayed in college. Some Boomers in their 60s still have kids in college. [19:12] Late Boomers, 1961 on, had children at a younger age, have little memory of Vietnam, and in their 50s, have children in college. [19:46] You might pause the podcast and think about what technology most affected the Baby Boomer Generation. [20:10] Baby Boomers were the first to have televisions. Mass marketing was first applied to the Boomer Generation. Marc remembers seeing The Flintstones in 1962, which was mainly sponsored then by Winston Cigarettes! [21:04] The next technology came in 1969. You might pause the podcast and consider what it was. [21:19] In 1969, Visa was introduced. Boomers were the first generation to have easy access to credit. Marc remembers a Barney Miller episode where a detective was telling a young drug dealer that he would never have one thing — credit! [21:56] Boomers were the first generation to be the targets of advertising, with ready credit to purchase new things. This is an echo effect from our parents, who saved money like crazy. We spent money. [22:24] When Boomers left home, how did we communicate? You might pause the podcast and think on this. [22:34] Boomers were the first generation to have prevalent long-distance phone calls. College students would give their parents two rings on the phone and hang up. Their parents would call them back and pay for the long distance. Also, we used collect phone calls. Boomers were a very auditory generation. [23:10] Marc tells his Millennial colleagues, “If you have a Baby Boomer boss, and you want them to listen to you, you need to go talk to them.” [23:27] How did Baby Boomers research the capital of Madagascar? You might pause the podcast and ponder this. [23:39] A lot of us had World Book or Encyclopedia Britannica at home. We could easily research at home and get new information with annual updates. It opened up the world to us. Information was rapidly becoming more accessible. [24:18] Who were our parents? To a large extent, our parents were The Greatest Generation. They saved money and believed in Big Government. They believed in “playing it safe.” We Baby Boomers spend money like crazy and we don’t trust government. [24:49] Marc did as his parents told him to. He graduated from college and went to work for IBM, a big company. Marc was raised to be an employee and work for a father-like company that would take care of him. Others did differently than their parents advised. [25:21] Marc never served in the military; most Baby Boomers did not, especially if they were college-educated. Marc did a workshop for a national staffing company and he asked 150 Boomers (110 of whom were males) how many served in Vietnam. Three hands went up. They had volunteered. [25:55] The Vietnam Draft, besides taking citizens, took Green Card holders. Minorities and the poor made up a huge percentage of Vietnam War draftees. Marc learned that those who had the highest casualty rate in Vietnam were college-educated volunteers because they went to fight. Most draftees were not sent to fight. [27:02] The U.S. presidents from Bill Clinton through Donald Trump, has been a Baby Boomer. The next president may also be a Baby Boomer. We will see. Next week, Marc will discuss Generation X Candidates. They don’t look or behave like us. [27:41] In next week’s episode, Marc will cover Gen X and spend a fair amount of time talking about Gen Y (The Millennials). How they view themselves is very different from how Boomers view them. The Millennials are the opposite of the Baby Boomers and we made them that way. [28:12] Marc hopes you enjoyed this episode. Next week, Marc will dig into Gen X and Gen Y. He will show why they likely don’t get along, and why we Baby Boomers misperceive Gen Y. They are our kids! [28:30] Susan Lahey and Marc are working on the next edition of Repurpose Your Career, and Marc is looking for your help. Marc has formed a release team of readers who will get access to pre-release chapters of the book to provide feedback. [28:43] Marc has already released the opening chapter to the release team.

Dr. Doug McGuff is an expert in High Intensity Training, emergency room physician, and bestselling author of Body by Science. Dr. McGuff sheds light on the aerobic benefits of resistance training and how to get a complete workout in 20 minutes once a week.    “You cannot go into this process with an idea of someone that you admire. Or a look that you would like to have or a capability that someone else has that you want to try to emulate or reproduce. That will fail every time. You have to go into the process with the idea is that I'm going to take what I have, in terms of my own genotype and seek its ideal phenotypic expression by applying a stimulus and allowing a response to occur.” Dr. Doug McGuff on Exercise   Who is Dr. Doug McGuff?   Doug McGuff, MD became interested in exercise at the age of 15 when he first read Arthur Jones’ Nautilus Training Bulletin No. 2. His interest in exercise and biology led him to a career in medicine.   In 1989, he graduated from the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio and went on to train in Emergency Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences at Little Rock where he served as Chief Resident. From there, Dr. McGuff served as Faculty in the Wright State University Emergency Medicine Residency and was a staff Emergency Physician at Wright-Patterson AFB Hospital.   In 1995, Dr. McGuff moved to Seneca, South Carolina where he joined Blue Ridge Emergency Physicians with whom he continues to practice full-time emergency medicine.   Throughout his career, Dr. McGuff maintained his interest in high-intensity exercise. Doug realized a lifelong dream when he opened Ultimate Exercise in November 1997, where he and his instructors continue to explore the limits of exercise through their personal training of clients.   In addition to his work at Ultimate Exercise, Dr. McGuff is a full-time practicing emergency physician who lives in Seneca, South Carolina with his wife of 30 years, Wendy, and their children Eric and Madeline.   What is High-Intensity Training?   High-intensity training (HIT) is a form of strength training popularized in the 1970s by Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. The training focuses on performing quality weight training repetitions to the point of momentary muscular failure. The training takes into account the number of repetitions, the amount of weight, and the amount of time the muscle is exposed to tension in order to maximize the amount of muscle fiber recruitment.   Source: High-Intensity Training: more strength and power in less time.

Most people believe that yoga, meditation, and prayer have positive effects on the mind, body, and spirit, but what does science say? What sort of research is being done in these fields? Join us with Dr. Amitava Dasgupta as we discuss some of the amazing work being done to further our understanding of how meditation, yoga and prayer can affect us, and what we can learn from these ancient and modern practices. Dr. Amitava Dasgupta was born in Calcutta, India and came to the United States in 1980 and received his Ph.D. in 1986 in Chemistry from Stanford University. He is board certified in both Toxicology and Clinical Chemistry by the American Board of Clinical Chemistry. Currently, he is a tenured Full Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School. Dr. Dasgupta has published 214 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is on editorial board of five international journals.

What is a Cataract? There is a lens in the eye like a small magnifying glass. As we get older, that lens becomes cloudy, dark and opacified. That is a cataract. “Cataract” comes from a Greek word which means waterfall. Ancient physicians and doctors felt it was a waterfall or clouding that came over your eye. Actually, it is a change in the size of the lens of the eye. Often when you get a cataract, you will get a change in your prescription. Sometimes they call it second sight. By some remarkable reason, you no longer need your reading glasses. As the cataract grows, the lens becomes harder. You have a greater refractive index, and you start to become nearsighted and find out you don’t need reading glasses. That can be kind of a benefit from getting a cataract. Chemically, ascorbic acid levels decrease in the aqueous lens, and also glutathione levels. Many approaches have been to somehow increase the ascorbic acid levels and glutathione levels. The product that was questioned, n-acetylcarnosine, is one such product that helps increase those levels. Beginning the Process of Reversing Cataracts Can-C, which is l-carnosine, is an over-the-counter eye drop, and Dr. Kondrot shares that he has found that this drop can help slow the progression, but has not found it to reverse cataracts. There’s another over-the-counter drug called cineraria maritime. This is a homeopathic eye drop widely used in India and in the United States. Dr. Kondrot shares why he believes cineraria is a very good tool for slowing the progression of cataracts. When we talk about slowing the progression of the cataract that in itself can be very beneficial. Remember, as we become older and age, the cataract continues to grow if we don’t take the necessary steps to try to reverse it. Using Chelation for Cataracts One of the first things Dr. Kondrot does with a patient with a cataract is to measure their lead levels. In order to effectively treat a cataract and slow its progression, you have to eliminate the lead. You have to get the lead out, and this requires a treatment called EDTA chelation, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. This is a chemical that circulates in the body, binds the lead and makes it water soluble so it’s passed in your urine. It requires not just one or two treatments. Typically, you need 40 treatments, sometimes more, to get the lead out. There is a relationship between lead and cataracts. There was also a really interesting study done at the University of Texas Medical School. They showed that using an EDTA eye drop, cataracts were reversed. Is There a Modern Form of Scurvy? According to Dr. Levy, cataracts may be a form of focal scurvy. You may be thinking, “Wow. Where did you come up with that idea?” Listen in to hear about the evidence which indicates that vitamin C deficiency might be related to cataract development and the steps you can take to use vitamin C to treat your cataracts. Is Cataract Surgery Good? Dr. Kondrot answers a callers question while sharing from his experiences as an ophthalmic surgeon. While most surgeries go well, from a homeopathic standpoint, cataract surgery can cause suppression. Meaning, if you don’t take care of the underlying problem, whether it’s elevated lead or some other toxic problem in the body that’s causing the cataract, then the disease will manifest in another way. What To Do for Eye Strain and Other Eye Problems Any time you develop a symptom like eye strain, flashes and floaters, it means something is going on in your body. Many call that a pre-disease state. This has happened to many people: You go to the doctor, and he looks at you and can’t find anything wrong. “Don’t worry about it.” You come back again and nothing is wrong. Then you come back after a year or so, and he says, “You have a detached retina, macular degeneration and glaucoma.” All those symptoms you had were like an early precursor. It’s your body giving you a warning sign.

Dr Bryant Boutwell, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston gives the 2014 McGovern Lecture at Green Templeton College This lecture will highlight the impact of Sir William Osler and Osler's American student, Wilburt Davison, who trained with Osler at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and became the founding dean of Duke University School of Medicine where a young Jack McGovern came to train in the early 1940s. The influence of the Oxford-Osler-Davison connection changed McGovern's life with positive implications on medical education to this day. Eight years after his death, Dr McGovern continues to touch our medical community on a global scale as the author's stories of his life-and the back stories-will tell. This presentation provide the biographer's perspective of knowing McGovern and researching the stories of his life to produce his biography, John P McGovern, M.D.: A Lifetime of Stories, recently published in 2014. The book represents nearly four years of personal interviews with dozens of friends and colleagues along with a detailed review of his vast archives now located at the Texas Medical Center's Historical Research Center. Dr Boutwell has served the institutions of Houston's Texas Medical Center for nearly 40 years. He is the first holder of the John P McGovern Professorship in Oslerian Medicine at The University of Texas Medical School in Houston. In 2013 he was recognised as a Distinguished Teaching Professor by The University of Texas System. His biography of his friend and colleague, John P McGovern, was published in 2014 and will be the focus of this presentation.
