The illicit drug market is evolving faster than ever before. Novel psychoactive substances (NPS), synthetic opioids and increasingly potent club drugs are creating new challenges for pre-hospital clinicians, emergency departments and critical care teams. Patients are presenting with unfamiliar toxidromes, unpredictable physiology, and rapidly deteriorating clinical conditions that demand evidence-based assessment and management. The episode begins with insights from Dr Caroline Copeland, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacology and Toxicology at King's College London and Director of the National Programme on Substance Use Mortality. Caroline explains how the illicit drug market has transformed over the past decade, discussing the emergence of synthetic opioids, nitazenes, novel benzodiazepines and the ever-expanding range of novel psychoactive substances. Drawing on national surveillance data and forensic toxicology, she highlights the trends every frontline clinician should understand and the public health implications of these rapidly evolving substances. Building on that foundation, Owen Bowden-Jones, Consultant Psychiatrist and one of the UK's leading experts in club drugs and addiction medicine, takes us into the practical realities of managing patients who have taken MDMA, ketamine, GHB/GBL, synthetic cathinones, synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice"), nitrous oxide and other emerging recreational drugs. The discussion focuses on recognising toxidromes, avoiding common pitfalls and delivering safe, evidence-based supportive care in the pre-hospital and emergency setting.How the illicit drug landscape has changed over the last decade.Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and why they continue to emerge.Synthetic opioids, nitazenes and the growing public health threat.MDMA toxicity and serotonin syndrome.Ketamine: recreational use, toxicity and chronic complications.GHB/GBL overdose and withdrawal.Synthetic cathinones ("bath salts") and severe behavioural disturbance.Synthetic cannabinoids ("Spice") and unpredictable toxicity.Nitrous oxide misuse and neurological injury.Recognising toxidromes rather than chasing an exact drug diagnosis.Managing agitation, hyperthermia and cardiovascular instability.Harm reduction and communicating with patients who use recreational drugs.Emerging drug trends every pre-hospital clinician should know.This episode brings together and expands on two previous conversations from the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast:Novel Psychoactives and The New Drug Landscape: A Conversation with Dr Caroline Copelandhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/novel-psychoactives-and-the-new-drug/id1441215901?i=1000748836782Club Drugs, Illegal Highs and Novel Psycho-active Substances with Owen Bowden-Joneshttps://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/phcp/episodes/Club-drugs--illegal-highs-and-Novel-Psycho-active-Substances-with-Owen-Bowden-Jones-ejk7rfYou can find excellent online eLearning resources on Club Drugs and NPS here: https://elearninghub.rcpsych.ac.uk/products/Module_1_Introduction_to_club_drugs_and_NPSThese are empirical studies conducted and published by Caroline Copland: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/caroline-copeland

The unsealed autopsy findings in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez describe injuries consistent with a sharp instrument and physical evidence embedded in the remains that prosecutors say links the condition of the body to the defendant. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines the forensic record and its implications for the prosecution's case.The wound characteristics, as described in the medical examiner's findings, indicate deliberate force with a specific type of instrument. Physical trace evidence found with the remains provides a potential forensic link between the condition of the body and materials allegedly associated with the defendant's property. Toxicology reportedly identified substances in the system of a fourteen-year-old girl. Investigators have also reportedly recovered a substantial volume of digital evidence from Burke's devices — material that, according to reporting, expanded the scope of the investigation significantly.Coffindaffer assesses the forensic picture from a federal investigative perspective: what the wound evidence indicates about intent, what embedded physical evidence means for chain-of-custody arguments at trial, how digital evidence at this volume reshapes what prosecutors can establish, and whether the decision to seal the autopsy over the medical examiner's public objection represents standard investigative practice. She also addresses the reported forty-eight-hour hold on the Tesla and what it means for the integrity of the physical evidence. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

The medical examiner's office completed its findings on Celeste Rivas Hernandez months before the public ever saw them. Then LAPD sought a court order to seal the report — and the ME's office publicly objected, stating the hold prevented them from serving the community with transparency. The people whose job it is to speak for the dead were told to stay silent. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines what the sealed autopsy revealed once it was finally unsealed, and what the decision to seal it says about how this investigation was conducted.The forensic findings described injuries consistent with a sharp instrument and physical evidence embedded in the remains that prosecutors say connects the condition of the body to the charges filed. Toxicology reportedly found substances in the system of a child who should have been in eighth grade. Coffindaffer reads the forensic picture — what wound characteristics indicate about intent, what physical trace evidence means for establishing who handled the remains, and how the volume of digital evidence reportedly recovered from Burke's devices reshapes an investigation of this magnitude.The segment also examines the tension between LAPD's investigative strategy and the ME's mandate for transparency — and whether sealing autopsy findings for this long is standard practice or an anomaly. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, additional charges related to the victim's age, and a count related to the condition of her remains. He has pleaded not guilty.

Send us Fan MailThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks with a panel of experts to go over the latest fish consumption warnings that were issued by the FWP, Montana DEQ and the Department of Health and Humane services. When that press release about the fish consumption warnings came out back in late April Rigger called his buddy Greg Lemon at the FWP. Greg was able to get a date set when three experts from the Department of Health and Human Services, DEQ and the FWP could all get together and come on the podcast. Rigger and the Captain had received lots of emails from folks that were concerned about consuming the fish that they were catching. After all, the headline of the press release said, “DATA INDICATES FISH CAUGHT IN SOME MONTANA WATERBODIES MAY CONTAIN DETECTABLE LEVELS OF THE MAN-MADE POLLUTANTS KNOWN AS PFAS”. PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. What are those? The experts on podcast will explain it way better than we can, all we know is that they are not good for you if you eat a lot of them. As Rigger put it after he had heard that one of the fish mentioned was Walleye; “The headline alone was enough to scare the P-FAS out of me that is for sure! Especially since my health has not been the best lately and I love to eat Walleye!”. That is why he wanted to get the facts directly from the experts. And that is exactly what you will get when you watch or listen to this podcast, especially if you are one of the folks that had heard about it like Rigger and got pretty darn concerned. So here is what we recommend. First, watch or listen to the podcast as it gives some great information that we are sure will make you feel a lot better when you get the facts from the experts that Rigger has on this week's podcast. If you want to get even more info there are some links below that will give you some great info as well, however you will probably understand that info better if you watch or listen to the podcast first. Also, there are links to take you straight to the emails of the experts on the podcast as well, if you want to ask them questions directly. Bottomline; Montana basically has cleanest fish and water in the country! That said, there are recommendations that you should follow especially for women that are pregnant or for younger kids. So, watch or listen to this podcast to get great info and help you find the details you need!Links: Click here to read the press release that came a while back.One of the experts on the podcast is Trevor Selch who is a Fisheries Pollution Biologist with the FWP, and he gave us a copy of the Montana Sport Fish Consumption Guidelines which is full of great info. Click here to look that over.Click here to email Trevor with you questions.Another expert on the podcast is Andy Ulven. He is the Water Quality Planning Bureau Chief with the Montana DEQ.

On the morning of March 4, 2022, Kouri Richins called 911 to report she had found her husband Eric unresponsive in their bed at their home near Park City, Utah. He was 39 years old, a father of three, and ran a thriving stonemasonry business. Toxicology results would later reveal he had roughly five times a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system.What followed was a grieving widow who published a children's book to help her sons cope with loss, only to be arrested weeks later and charged with her husband's murder.Intro Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCyrc20NqS0Good Day Utah Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7decWYj1-ASkip ahead to episode: 14.25buymeacoffee.com/cluelesscrime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/cluelesscrime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/cluelesscrimepodcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Nearly ten months after 18-year-old Nicholas Ortiz died in a single-vehicle crash on NE Reilly Road, 19-year-old Matthew Kenne was booked for Vehicular Homicide and Minor in Possession of Alcohol. Toxicology confirmed a BAC above 0.08 and electronic vehicle data showed speeds of 67–72 mph before Kenne failed to negotiate a curve and struck a tree. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/arrest-made-in-2025-fern-prairie-fatal-collision/ #VehicularHomicide #ClarkCounty #FernPrairie #PublicSafety #ClarkCountySheriff #ImpairedDriving #CamasWA #WashingtonState ---

This week we explore the incredible life and mysterious death of Dorothy Kilgallen. Once the most powerful female voice in America, with 20 million daily readers, her legacy has been strangely buried by history. We trace her journey from a "scrappy" reporter at age 20 to the only journalist to privately interview Jack Ruby.  Was her death in 1965 an accidental overdose, or was it the ultimate price for getting too close to the truth behind the JFK assassination? 01:46 – Who was Dorothy Kilgallen? (The most powerful female voice in America). 04:06 – Scooping the Warren Commission and interviewing Jack Ruby. 05:16 – Discovery of the body and the "suspicious" bedroom scene. 18:41 – The Frank Sinatra feud and the "tombstone" threat. 24:10 – Conflicting accounts: Who actually found her? 33:07 – The New Orleans trip and the missing JFK research file. 42:51 – Toxicology breakdown: The "mega-dose" mystery.

LAPD reportedly held the Tesla containing Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains for forty-eight hours before releasing it. The autopsy was completed months before charges were filed but sealed at LAPD's request — reportedly over the medical examiner's own public objection. And when prosecutors finally disclosed the scope of digital evidence, they confirmed over forty terabytes of data including alleged child exploitation material from Burke's devices. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines whether the evidence-handling decisions in this case reflect standard investigative practice or whether they represent failures that the defense will exploit.The unsealed autopsy report determined Celeste died from two penetrating wounds to the torso — both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp instrument. One perforated her liver. The other damaged ribs. Her body had been dismembered — arms and legs severed, with blue plastic fragments embedded in the cut surfaces. Toxicology screening returned presumptive positives for benzodiazepines and meth or MDMA. Celeste was fourteen. She weighed seventy-one pounds at examination.Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic profile — what wound characteristics reveal about intent and premeditation, what embedded physical evidence means for forensically tying Burke to the dismemberment, and how the volume and nature of the digital evidence shifts the investigative framework from a single alleged criminal act to what prosecutors appear to be treating as a pattern of conduct involving a minor.The timeline compounds the case. Prosecutors allege Burke killed Celeste on or around April 23, 2025. He subsequently released an album and launched a national tour. On September 8, a tow yard worker reported a foul odor from Burke's impounded Tesla in Los Angeles. Burke performed at The Fillmore in Minneapolis the following night. His representatives initially stated he was cooperating with the investigation. LAPD subsequently said he was not cooperative and that investigators believe he had assistance disposing of the body.People in Burke's circle reportedly believed Celeste was a nineteen-year-old college student. Investigators documented that she was a seventh grader from Lake Elsinore, absent from school for a year, reported missing three separate times across fourteen months. Coffindaffer examines what it takes to allegedly construct and maintain a false identity around a child across that period, and which systems — educational, law enforcement, familial — failed to intervene when the documented record shows repeated opportunities to do so.Burke has pled not guilty. His attorneys say the evidence will prove his innocence. All individuals discussed are presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The autopsy was completed months before prosecutors charged David Anthony Burke. It was sealed at LAPD's request — reportedly over the medical examiner's own public objection. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family waited without answers while the investigation continued behind closed doors. When the report was finally unsealed, it confirmed what prosecutors had been building toward — and what the defense now has to confront.Two stab wounds to the torso, both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp instrument. One perforated her liver. The other damaged her ribs. Her arms and legs had been severed, with blue plastic fragments embedded in the cut surfaces. Toxicology screening found benzodiazepines and what tested presumptive for meth or MDMA. Celeste was fourteen. She weighed seventy-one pounds at the time of examination.

Prosecutors allege Burke killed Celeste on or around April 23, 2025. Within days, he released an album and launched a world tour.

Coffindaffer examines what it takes to allegedly construct a false identity around a child, who should have seen through it, and why the decision to hold the Tesla containing Celeste's remains for only forty-eight hours before releasing it raises serious questions about how critical evidence was handled in the early stages of this case.Burke has pled not guilty.

On September 9, Burke played The Fillmore in Minneapolis.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer spent decades running cases involving alleged predatory behavior, and she reads Burke's post-crime conduct through that lens. What does it tell an FBI behavioral analyst when someone allegedly goes on tour, performs for crowds, and continues building a public career in the months after what prosecutors say happened? What does it reveal about compartmentalization, control, and the kind of offender profile investigators were likely assembling long before the arrest? And what does it mean that Burke's team initially told the public he was cooperating — while LAPD later stated he was not cooperative and likely had assistance in disposing of the body?Coffindaffer also brings her expertise to the forensic evidence.

In this episode Dr. Gillian Beauchamp sits down with Dr. Cait Bonney to discuss MDMA. 

In this episode of ToxChats, hosts Lauren Walker and Sarah Benjamin sit down with the groundbreaking Donald Ingber—visionary scientist, engineer, and Founding Director of the Wyss Institute. Dr. Ingber shares how his unique path through medicine, biology, and design converged to spark breakthroughs such as human Organ Chips—systems that are redefining toxicology, drug development, and disease modeling. Together, they discuss how Organ Chips outperform traditional in vitro and animal models, the promise of personalized “human avatars,” and the technical, regulatory, and cultural challenges that remain. Future-focused and packed with insight, this episode spotlights the breakthroughs changing toxicology as we know it.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has charged David Anthony Burke with first-degree murder with special circumstances — lying in wait, financial gain, and the alleged killing of a witness — in the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Additional charges include lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under fourteen and mutilation of a body. District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced the charges, alleging Burke killed Rivas to protect his lucrative music career after she allegedly threatened to expose their relationship.The unsealed autopsy documents two stab wounds to the torso with smooth edges from a sharp instrument — one perforating the liver, one damaging the ribs. The body was dismembered, with blue plastic fragments embedded in the severed surfaces. Toxicology detected benzodiazepines and substances screening consistent with methamphetamine or MDMA. The medical examiner completed the autopsy months prior but it was sealed at LAPD's request, over the examiner's publicly stated objection.Prosecutors additionally disclosed that forty terabytes of digital evidence seized from Burke's phone, computer, and iCloud account contained what they described as a significant amount of child exploitation material. Burke is represented by defense attorney Blair Berk. His defense team has stated they will vigorously contest the charges and maintain Burke did not cause Rivas's death.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides procedural and forensic analysis of the evidence now on the record, the legal weight of embedded trace materials, the prosecutorial implications of exploitation material discovered during a murder investigation, and the strategic significance of the sealed autopsy.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The autopsy of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was sealed for months at LAPD's request. The medical examiner publicly objected. And when the findings were finally unsealed, they confirmed what prosecutors had been building toward: this was not a death that could be explained away.Two stab wounds to the torso — one perforating the liver, the other damaging the ribs — both with smooth edges consistent with a sharp, deliberate instrument. Her body had been dismembered, her limbs severed with blue plastic fragments embedded in the cut surfaces. Toxicology found benzodiazepines and what screened as methamphetamine or MDMA in her system. She was fourteen.On the digital side, prosecutors told the court that forty terabytes of evidence from David Anthony Burke's phone, computer, and iCloud contained what they described as a significant amount of child exploitation material. That disclosure came during proceedings where Burke was charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances — lying in wait, financial gain, and the alleged killing of a witness — along with lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under fourteen and mutilation of a body.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the forensic significance of the wound patterns, what embedded trace evidence means for connecting Burke to the dismemberment, how the volume and nature of the digital evidence could reshape the prosecution's entire theory, and what the decision to seal the autopsy tells us about the investigative strategy behind this case. Every piece of physical and digital evidence in this case points in one direction — and Coffindaffer explains exactly why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Dr. Hemal Patel explores how cellular energetics and membrane biology play a central role in health, resilience, and disease. He explains that the cell membrane is not just a barrier, but a dynamic and intelligent system that organizes signaling, regulates energy, and may even influence aging.Dr. Patel shares insights into:How mitochondria and membranes work together to control energy productionThe role of circadian rhythms and cellular “oscillations” in maintaining healthWhy aging and chronic disease may begin with membrane breakdownHow communication across the body may be driven through the blood as a signaling systemA major focus of the conversation is MeScreen, a novel test designed to assess mitochondrial function using a simple blood sample. By exposing lab-grown cells to a person's plasma, MeScreen evaluates how their internal biochemical environment influences energy production, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial resilience.The episode highlights a key shift in thinking:Health isn't just about individual organs or genes, but about how systems communicate, adapt, and maintain energy balance over time.Neuroveda Health patients receive $250 off when ordering through the clinic.

He also serves as a VA Research Career Scientist and Pharmacologist at the VA San Diego Healthcare System and is Chief Advisor for Versea Discovery. With a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology, his research focuses on how cell membranes and energetics shape human health, aging, and disease, with implications across cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, and chronic conditions.

Today, we're diving into autoimmunity—what it actually is, why it happens, and how ultra-processed foods may be contributing to the problem. Autoimmune disease is often misunderstood. Some will tell you diet has nothing to do with it. Others claim diet is the cure. The truth is more nuanced—and that's exactly what we explore in this episode. You'll learn: What autoimmunity really is (and why it's a case of mistaken identity) How inflammation and the immune system interact The critical role of gut health and the microbiome How ultra-processed foods disrupt intestinal integrity and immune signaling Why stress and hyper-palatable foods create a harmful cycle A practical experiment you can try to see how diet impacts your own biomarkers This isn't about selling supplements or pushing extremes. It's about understanding the science so you can make informed decisions about your health. As always, this episode is backed by scientific literature. Full citations are included below, with abbreviated versions available on shorter clips. If you're dealing with autoimmune symptoms—or just want to better understand how food impacts your immune system—this episode is for you.   Full citation list: Hall KD, et al. “Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake.” Cell Metabolism, 2019.     Supports the formulation argument: UPF intake increased spontaneous calorie intake and weight gain even with diets matched for presented calories, sugar, fiber, sodium, and macronutrients. This is your anchor for “hyper-palatability and formulation change physiology, not just psychology.”   Narula N, et al. “Association of Ultra-Processed Food Intake With Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Prospective Cohort Study.” BMJ, 2021.     Best human disease-level citation for the episode. Supports the claim that higher UPF intake is associated with greater IBD risk, making the gut-immune link clinically meaningful rather than purely theoretical.   Chassaing B, et al. “Randomized Controlled-Feeding Study of Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose Reveals Detrimental Impacts on the Gut Microbiota and Metabolome.” Gastroenterology, 2022.     Best emulsifier paper for human translation. Supports the claim that CMC can perturb the microbiota and metabolome and may contribute to barrier-hostile gut ecology in susceptible individuals.   Daniel N, et al. “Human Intestinal Microbiome Determines Individualized Responses to Dietary Emulsifier Carboxymethylcellulose.” Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2024.     Useful nuance paper. Supports the point that emulsifier sensitivity is not identical across all people and that host-microbiome context matters.   Shil A, et al. “Artificial Sweeteners Disrupt Tight Junctions and Barrier Function in the Intestinal Epithelium Through Activation of the Sweet Taste Receptor T1R3.” Nutrients, 2020.     Best citation for the “sugar-free does not mean barrier-neutral” point. Supports direct epithelial barrier effects of common artificial sweeteners in experimental models.   Peng L, et al. “Butyrate Enhances the Intestinal Barrier by Facilitating Tight Junction Assembly via Activation of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Caco-2 Cell Monolayers.” Journal of Nutrition, 2009.     Classic mechanistic citation for butyrate. Supports the claim that loss of fermentable fiber and reduced butyrate production can weaken barrier function.   Kumar KP, et al. “The Interplay Between the Microbiota, Diet and T Regulatory Cells in Maintaining Intestinal Homeostasis.” Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023.     Useful for the tolerance language. Supports the argument that diet and microbial metabolites shape Treg biology and mucosal tolerance.   Haase S, et al. “Sodium Chloride Triggers Th17 Mediated Autoimmunity.” Frontiers in Immunology, 2019.     Key citation for high salt and autoimmune-prone immune skewing. Supports the claim that excess salt can promote pathogenic Th17 biology relevant to autoimmune disease.   Wilck N, et al. “Salt-Responsive Gut Commensal Modulates TH17 Axis and Disease.” Nature, 2017.     Strong bridge between salt, microbiome, and Th17 signaling. Supports the point that salt is not just a blood pressure story; it is also an immune-story.   Vitales-Noyola M, et al. “Analysis of Sodium Chloride Intake and Treg/Th17 Lymphocytes in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.” Journal of Immunology Research, 2018.     Helpful human-facing citation for salt and immune skewing in autoimmune populations. Use cautiously, but it strengthens translation from theory to autoimmune terrain.   Phuong-Nguyen K, et al. “Advanced Glycation End-Products and Their Effects on Gut Health.” Nutrients, 2023.     Good review for the AGE section. Supports the argument that AGE-rich processed foods may worsen oxidative stress, microbiota balance, and barrier function.   Chen Y, et al. “Dietary Advanced Glycation End-Products Elicit Toxicological Effects by Disrupting Gut Microbiota and Increasing Colon Permeability in Rats.” Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 2021.     Useful mechanistic support for the processing-chemistry section. Reinforces the claim that dietary AGEs can alter microbial ecology and increase permeability.   Monteiro CA, et al. “Ultra-Processed Foods: What They Are and How to Identify Them.” Public Health Nutrition, 2019.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine. He's also taught and mentored other physicians on integrative approaches to hormone therapy, weight loss, fertility, and more.

*This is Part 2 of our series on the murder of Eric Richins. Start with Episode 1 if you haven't already. March 4th, 2022. Eric Richins, a 39-year-old husband and father, is found dead in his Kamas, Utah home. Toxicology reveals illicit fentanyl at five times the lethal concentration. He had no history of drug use. As the official investigation stalled, Kouri Richins — Eric's wife — quietly began filing claims on his life insurance policies. His family, unconvinced by the narrative she was spinning, hired a private investigator. What he uncovered changed everything. A pattern of financial fraud. Evidence of infidelity. A motive that had been building for years inside what looked, from the outside, like an ordinary Utah marriage. And then the friends started talking. The people Kouri had confided in, leaned on, and counted on to stand beside her, began telling Summit County authorities a very different story. In Part 2 of Are You With Me? — The Poisoned Marriage and Murder of Eric Richins — we follow the private investigation, the witness accounts, and the moment the case shifted from a stalled inquiry to a homicide prosecution.

Toxicology lives at the intersection of chemistry, medicine, and survival—where everyday exposures and rare threats alike can shape human health in profound ways. From the silent danger of carbon monoxide to the rapid lethality of cyanide, and the complex line between poison and remedy, this conversation unpacks how toxins move through and impact the body. We explore the ongoing opioid crisis, the life-saving role of naloxone, and how clinicians respond in moments where minutes matter most. Along the way, the lens widens to include venom, environmental exposures, and even the realities of bioterrorism—revealing just how much of our world is defined by what we can't see. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Andaleeb Hamid Raja, MD, a double board-certified emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist and assistant professor of medicine based in New York City. Dr. Raja received her MD from Saba University School of Medicine and completed her Emergency Medicine Residency at Lincoln Medical Center and Medical Toxicology Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh. Currently, Dr. Raja is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and is the Assistant Program Director of Emergency Medicine Residency at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube

How Ohio is failing to stop drug smuggling and overdose deaths in state prisons Drug-related prison rule violations doubled in Ohio, from 2020 to 2024. It's a problem that leaders say is representative of the greater communities we all live in, but the outside world isn't subject to the same controls that incarcerated people are supposed to be subject to. A year-long investigation by journalists with the Marshall Project Cleveland and the Columbus Dispatch has revealed the alarming extent to which Ohio prison officials are failing at stopping drugs from being smuggled inside, and how those drugs are leading to inmate deaths. On the "Sound of Ideas" on Monday, we talk with those journalists and hear from some of their interviewees, including people who are currently serving sentences for their roles in Ohio's prison drug trade. Guests:- Doug Livingston, Staff Writer, Marshall Project Cleveland- Laura Bischoff, Ohio Politics and State Government Reporter, Columbus Dispatch- Alex Krotulski, Ph.D., Director of Toxicology & Chemistry, Center for Forensic Science Research and Education How prison gerrymandering impacts voting districts and what rights incarcerated people have when it comes to voting Voting rights experts say people who are incarcerated have been incorrectly represented by their governments for decades due to a practice called "prison gerrymandering," by which the Census counts individuals as residents of correctional facilities, rather than their homes prior to incarceration. Research shows this tends to boost the political power of districts that contain prisons, often in rural areas, and decrease the political power of urban communities and communities of color. On the "Sound of Ideas" on Monday, we dive into the issue of prison gerrymandering and voting rights for incarcerated people, in the latest installment of our "Law of The Land" series. Guests:- Emilia Sykes, Democrat, U.S. Representative for Ohio's 13th District- Kareem Crayton, the Brennan Center for Justice's Vice President for Washington, D.C.

On this, our 317th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss radiation and its impact on (rodent) health, and the 9th circuit's decision to let men use women's spas. First: research published in 2018 finds that low levels of non-ionizing radiation—like that emitted by cell phones and air pods—are actually associated with life extension in mice and rats. Don't get too excited—these are the same rodents whose breeding protocols have broken them in some counter-intuitive ways, including that low doses of toxins or radiation can actually slow down the cancer that will otherwise kill them. Then: Olympus Spa, a traditional Korean nude spa for women in the Seattle area, was told by the state of Washington, now upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that they must let men in, so long as those men think they're women. Judge VanDyke's dissent correctly summarizes the issue as one of “swinging dicks.”*****Our sponsors:CrowdHealth: Pay for healthcare with crowdfunding instead of insurance. It's way better.

Scientists are finding tiny fragments of plastic inside the human body - including the brain.Dr. Matthew Campen of the University of New Mexico explains how they get there - and why the biggest source may surprise you.

In this episode, we discuss… What science really is, both as body of knowledge and a constantly evolving process  Why one study is never enough and the importance of multiple methods, reproducibility, and scientific consensus over time When "gold standard" research falls short and why fields like nutrition require more flexible, creative approaches Science's built-in caution and how new ideas face a high bar of proof, slowing acceptance but strengthening reliability How doubt is manufactured, from the tobacco era to climate science, using fringe voices to challenge strong consensus The role of ideology, and how "freedom" narratives can shape public resistance to scientific evidence Acting without certainty and why we must make public health decisions even when data isn't 100% complete AI and misinformation and the promise and risk of tools like OpenAI in shaping how we consume science Naomi Oreskes Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences ON LEAVE SPRING 2026 emailoreskes@fas.harvard.edu Faculty Assistant: Yaz Alfata Primary Areas of Research: Agnotology; the Political Economy of Scientific Knowledge; History and Philosophy of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Science and Technology Studies (STS); the History of Climate Change Disinformation Secondary Areas of Interest: Science Policy, Science and Religion, Women and Gender Studies   Naomi Oreskes is Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University.

This time last year, Los Angeles was on fire, and more than 16,000 homes and buildings burned to the ground. Cars, batteries, solar panels, insulation, and cleaning supplies went up in flames, releasing chemicals like lead, benzene, and asbestos into giant smoke plumes that wafted across the city.A year later, scientists are trying to understand the fallout of this urban wildfire—what chemicals got left behind, how to remediate them, and the threats to our health. Host Flora Lichtman talks with Yifang Zhu and Francois Tissot, who are at the forefront of this research. And for one of them, this work is personal.Guests:Dr. François Tissot is a professor of geochemistry at Caltech in Pasadena, California. Dr. Yifang Zhu is a professor of environmental health sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
