For the next few weeks, the guys will be re-airing some of their favourite episodes from our archives.Today, Ali and Asif review the new documentary about Louis CK, ‘Sorry / Not Sorry' (1:53). They start off by discussing Louis CK's background, his blockbuster success as a stand up comedian and how he changed the financial model of stand up comedy specials. Then then discuss his sexual impropriety as outlined in the New York Times as well as in the documentary. The guys go over what they perceive as his lack of an apology as well as how CK was definitely not “canceled”. Louis CK does suffer from male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia), so in the second half of the episode, the guys discuss hair transplants (28:36) (N.B. Louis CK has never stated that he has had a hair transplant). Asif starts off by discussing how common baldness is and what causes it in most men. He then goes over other treatments for baldness like ‘Rogaine' and ‘Propecia'. He then goes over what hair transplants entail, the procedure, the costs, and the outcomes.

For much of our lives, performance is measured in speed, strength, and output. As we get older, the equation changes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sir David Beckham and Dr. Dawn Mussallem to explore what elite sport, stage IV cancer, and heart transplantation can teach us about prevention—and what it really takes to sustain health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Together, we explore: • Why your health trajectory is more changeable than you've been taught—especially after 40 • How sleep, stress, and metabolic health quietly shape your long-term disease risk • Which daily habits give you the biggest return on investment over decades • How to build resilience now so your body supports you later The real measure of health isn't what you can achieve in your 20s or 30s. It's the resilience you build so your body supports you for decades to come.

On this episode of Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories, Doug Vincent sits down with Ty Gipson, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and resilience advocate whose life has been shaped by extraordinary medical and personal challenges. Diagnosed with Type 1 juvenile diabetes at a young age, Ty's journey includes multiple life-saving organ transplants, years of uncertainty, and moments where giving up might have seemed easier than pushing forward. Instead, Ty adopted what he calls a “No Options” mindset — a belief that when quitting isn't an option, purpose takes over. In this powerful conversation, Ty shares how his health challenges shaped his outlook on life, leadership, and service, how entrepreneurship gave him a sense of control and creativity, and how gratitude, faith, and community helped him thrive beyond survival. Together, Doug and Ty explore disability, chronic illness, resilience, and the power of choosing hope when the path forward is unclear. This episode is a must-watch for anyone navigating disability, chronic illness, major life transitions, or searching for inspiration to keep moving forward — no matter the odds. Walk and Roll Live
Dr. Dawn Mussallem is a Mayo Clinic oncologist who survived stage 4 cancer at 26, heart failure, and a heart transplant—then became the first person to run a marathon within a year of receiving a new heart. This conversation explores the integrative approach to cancer treatment, why exercise might be as powerful as chemotherapy, the self-flagellation patients feel despite doing everything right, and the profound role of mindset in survival. Typically, my guests fall into two buckets—incredible story or incredible expertise. I don't know that I've ever had a guest who inhabits both worlds the way Dawn does. Her story is super inspirational, and the information is equally impactful. Enjoy!

CardioNerds (Dr. Shazli Khan, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shiva Patlolla) discuss the management of patients post‑heart transplantation with Dr. Shelley Hall from Baylor University Medical Center and Dr. MaryJane Farr from UTSW. In this comprehensive review, we cover the physiology of the transplanted heart, immunosuppression strategies, rejection surveillance, and long-term complications including cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and malignancy. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls The Denervated Heart: The donor heart is surgically severed from the autonomic nervous system, leading to a higher resting heart rate (90-110 bpm) due to loss of vagal tone. Because the heart relies on circulating catecholamines rather than neural input to increase heart rate, patients experience a delayed chronotropic response to exercise and stress. Importantly, because afferent pain fibers are severed, ischemia is often painless. Rejection Surveillance: Rejection is classified into Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR), which is T-cell mediated, and Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), which is B-cell mediated. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-invasive surveillance using gene-expression profiling (e.g., AlloMap) and donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly utilized to reduce the burden of invasive procedures. The Infection Timeline: The risk of infection follows a predictable timeline based on the intensity of immunosuppression. The first month is dominated by nosocomial infections. Months one through six are the peak for opportunistic infections (Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis, Toxoplasmosis) requiring prophylaxis. After six months, patients are primarily at risk for community-acquired pathogens, though late viral reactivation can occur. Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Unlike native coronary artery disease, CAV presents as diffuse, concentric intimal thickening that affects the entire length of the vessel, including the microvasculature. Due to denervation, patients rarely present with angina; instead, CAV manifests as unexplained heart failure, fatigue, or sudden cardiac death. Malignancy Risk: Long-term immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of malignancy. Skin cancers (squamous and basal cell) are the most common, followed by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD), which is often driven by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Patlolla 1. What are the unique physiological features of the transplanted heart? The hallmark of the transplanted heart is denervation. Because the autonomic nerve fibers are severed during harvest, the heart loses parasympathetic or vagal tone, resulting in a resting tachycardia (typically 90-110 bpm). The heart also loses the ability to mount a reflex tachycardia; thus, the heart rate response to exercise or hypovolemia relies on circulating catecholamines, which results in a slower “warm-up” and “cool-down” period during exertion. 2. What are the pillars of maintenance immunosuppression regimen? The triple drug maintenance regimen typically consists of: Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI): Tacrolimus is preferred over cyclosporine. Key side effects include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, tremor, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Antimetabolite: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Key side effects include leukopenia and GI distress. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is used for maintenance but is often weaned to low doses or discontinued after the first year to mitigate metabolic side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain). 3. How is rejection classified and diagnosed? Rejection is the immune system’s response to the foreign graft and is categorized by the arm of the immune system involved: Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR): Mediated by T-lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. It is graded from 1R (mild) to 3R (severe) based on the extent of infiltration and myocyte damage. Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR): Mediated by B-cells producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that attack the graft endothelium. It is diagnosed via histology (capillary swelling) and immunofluorescence (C4d staining). Diagnosis has historically relied on endomyocardial biopsy. However, non-invasive tools are gaining traction. Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) assesses the expression of genes associated with immune activation to rule out rejection in low-risk patients. Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) measures the fraction of donor DNA in the recipient’s blood. Elevated levels suggest graft injury which can occur in both ACR and AMR. 4. What is the timeline of infectious risk and how does it guide prophylaxis? Infectious risk correlates with the net state of immunosuppression. < 1 Month (Nosocomial): Risks include surgical site infections, catheter-associated infections, and aspiration pneumonia. 1 – 6 Months (Opportunistic): This is the period of peak immunosuppression. Patients are at risk for PJP, CMV, Toxoplasma, and fungal infections. Prophylaxis typically includes Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (for PJP/Toxo) and Valganciclovir (for CMV, dependent on donor/recipient serostatus). > 6 Months (Community-Acquired): As immunosuppression is weaned, the risk profile shifts toward community-acquired respiratory viruses (Influenza, RSV) and pneumonias. However, patients with recurrent rejection requiring boosted immunosuppression remain at risk for opportunistic pathogens. 5. How does Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) differ from native CAD? CAV is the leading cause of late graft failure. Unlike the focal, eccentric plaques seen in native atherosclerosis, CAV is an immunologically driven process causing diffuse, concentric intimal hyperplasia. It affects both epicardial vessels and the microvasculature. Because of this diffuse nature, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often technically difficult and provides only temporary palliation. The only definitive treatment for severe CAV is re-transplantation. Surveillance is critical and is typically performed via annual coronary angiography, often using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to detect early intimal thickening before it is visible on the angiogram.

With nearly five decades of clinical experience, Mark Birch breaks down why hair health starts at the scalp—not supplements, transplants, or trends. This episode dismantles common myths, explains why hair loss has accelerated globally, and shows how daily habits, environment, stress, and product choice quietly determine whether hair thrives or thins.Key Discussion Highlights Mark explains that the scalp is the fastest-aging skin on the body and requires daily care, much like teeth or facial skin. Poor hygiene, clogged follicles, harsh chemicals, and misinformation drive unnecessary hair loss. Dubai's environment—hard water, constant air-conditioning, UV exposure, and humidity—adds extra stress, making maintenance even more critical.Hair loss is not one condition; there are 40+ types, influenced by genetics, hormones, stress, medications, nutrition, and lifestyle. While genetics set the blueprint, daily care determines how aggressively hair loss expresses. Mark emphasizes that most people spend money on treatments before fixing basics like scalp cleanliness, pH balance, and circulation—often worsening the problem.The episode also explores nutrition, stress, sleep, exercise, chemical processing, styling products, oils, and why many “natural” hacks (onions, oils, mud, DIY remedies) can actually damage the scalp. Technology like red-light therapy and circulation-boosting tools can help—but only after the foundation is right.Key Takeaways • Hair health begins with scalp hygiene, not pills or procedures • Washing the scalp daily with the right shampoo improves circulation and growth • Most hair loss is preventable or slowable with proper maintenance • Harsh chemicals, oils, and styling products clog follicles and accelerate thinning • Transplants fail without proper pre- and post-scalp care5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayWash your scalp daily with a shampoo suited to your scalp type (not trends or scents).Use a conditioner every wash and a nourishing hair mask once weekly.Stop applying oils, gels, waxes, or DIY remedies directly to the scalp.Prioritize sleep, stress reduction, protein intake, and whole-food nutrition.Treat hair like skin: cleanse after sweating, swimming, beach exposure, or heavy styling.This episode is a reset: hair health isn't complicated—but it is disciplined. Clean scalp, correct products, consistency, and respect for biology win every time.

Do you sometimes ask your kids questions like "are you doing ok?" or "am I causing you trauma" and then they stare at you blankly and ask if they can have candy now? All three of us have kids who are of multiple racial and ethnic ancestry. We all worry about how they will relate to various parts of their identities and if they will feel a healthy sense of belonging... but that's not the sort of thing most kids will be able to straight up tell you.So we brought on an incredibly thoughtful adult who grew up as a bi-racial person in America and we had a very honest and vulnerable discussion of what that was like for him. Daniel Tam-Claiborne is the author of Transplants, which was a 2023 PEN America Literary Award Finalist. Daniel talks about his childhood growing up in New York City with an ethnically Chinese mother who herself grew up in Cuba and his Jewish father. He discusses how he felt both insider/outsider in many aspects of his identity as a biracial person and how that has shaped his life as an adult and even now as a father of a young daughter.If you have a biracial person in your life that you care for, this one is a must-listen.

A powerful and unique episode of Elpodcasters with Dr. Kareem Abu‑Elmagd, one of the most influential surgeons in modern medical history. He is the first physician to successfully perform a delicate intestinal transplant and a global pioneer in multi-visceral organ transplantation. Dr. Abu-Elmagd has performed more than 800 intestinal transplants out of roughly 1,500 cases worldwide. In this episode, we dive deep into the human body and explore why the digestive system is one of the most complex systems we have. We discuss how a single surgery can involve the transplantation of five organs, whether one donor can truly save up to nine lives, the limits of how many transplanted organs the human body can handle, and whether artificial internal organs are the future of medicine. This conversation blends science and humanity, offering a rare perspective on surgery as an orchestra—where every organ has a role—and ends with a powerful message for anyone facing a difficult path or chasing a big dream. اسمعوا البودكاسترز على | Listen to El-Podcasters on Spotify - https://anchor.fm/elpodcasters Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/eg/podcast/el-podcasters/id1633419184 Anghami - https://play.anghami.com/podcast/1029463712 El-Podcasters Social Media | منصات التواصل الإجتماعي للبودكاسترز: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elpodcasters Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@elpodcasters Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/elpodcasters Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/elpodcasters/ X - https://www.twitter.com/elpodcasters Snapchat - https://snapchat.com/t/3Zbo2vzS Bassel Alzaro - https://www.instagram.com/basselalzaro https://www.facebook.com/BasselAlzaroX https://snapchat.com/t/CoWlatfk Karim Rihan - https://www.instagram.com/karimrihann 00:00 Intro 4:30 قصة د/كريم أبو المجد 22:09 أول عملية زراعة كبد فالتاريخ! 23:36 أول زراعة أمعاء دقيقة ناجحة فالتاريخ! 28:00 زراعة ٥ أعضاء في نفس العملية! 29:25 أمراض مناعية بسبب الأكل الجاهز! 34:42 مدى تعقيد الجهاز الهضمي! 49:43 شخص واحد يقدر يحيي ٩ أشخاص! 54:00 جسم الإنسان يتحمل كام زراعة عضو جديد؟ 59:11 د/كريم أبو المجد أجرى ٨٠٠ عملية زراعة أمعاء! 1:01:31 أعضاء داخلية صناعية!؟ 1:07:00 نشأة د/كريم أبوالمجد 1:13:34 اوركسترا د/كريم أبوالمجد 1:15:47 رسالة د/كريم أبو المجد Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hair transplantation is experiencing a global surge in popularity—but with that growth comes confusion, misinformation, and long-term consequences many patients don't consider. In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis breaks down the fundamentals of hair transplantation for both men and women, explaining who is truly a good candidate, when a transplant is necessary, and—most importantly—how today's decisions affect your options years down the road. Dr. Davis compares traditional strip graft (FUT) procedures with modern follicular unit extraction (FUE), highlighting the advantages, limitations, and long-term implications of each. He explains why scarring from older techniques can complicate future procedures and how precision harvesting with FUE allows for better hairline design, density control, and preservation of donor areas. This episode is essential listening for anyone considering a hair transplant—especially younger patients—who want natural results today without sacrificing future options.

Most people think kidney donation begins in a hospital.It doesn't.In this episode of The Nephluence Project, kidney transplant recipient and patient advocate Marc Coronel sits down with Shawna Robinson, the living kidney donor behind his transplant, to tell the truth about what living donation actually looks like.This is not a story about miracles or heroism.It's a story about choice.You'll hear what rarely makes the headlines: the quiet decisions, the internal questions, the difficult conversations, and the personal values that shape someone's willingness to step forward without pressure, without recognition, and without obligation.Together, Marc and Shawna explore:What living kidney donation is really likeThe emotional and human side of transplant storiesWhy advocacy begins long before a microphone or operating roomHow integrity, not urgency, creates real impactWhether you're a kidney patient, a caregiver, someone curious about living donation, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of courage and human influence, this episode offers clarity, truth, and perspective.This conversation isn't here to persuade you.It's here to tell the truth.Listen, reflect, and share, because stories like this don't end when the episode does. They echo.
A recent online survey of more than 10,000 transplant recipients across the U.S. and Canada found that ninety-two percent had side effects from their immunosuppressive medications. And while most patients trust their care teams, one in four skips doses because of their side effects. Four in ten skip due to cost. Today, I'm joined by Anne Bina, a kidney transplant recipient, and Nurse Practitioner, Nicole McCormick, to discuss the importance of immunosuppressive or anti-rejection medications and how to manage side effects associated with them. In this episode we heard from: Nicole McCormick is a Nurse Practitioner with AdventHealth Porter Transplant Institute in Denver, CO. She has been working in Transplant Nephrology since 2015, and she worked as a heart transplant coordinator starting in 2012. Nicole attended the University of Colorado for her Doctor of Nursing Practice as well as her Master's, and she received her Bachelor of Nursing from Thomas Jefferson University. Nicole enjoys spending time with her family and fur babies. She enjoys strength training and teaches yoga in her community. Nicole is an avid reader and lifelong student. Anne Bina-I live in Casper, WY but I was born and raised in WI. When I was 9 I had strep throat and a couple months later I was in the hospital with nephritis. Doctors told my parents that it could reoccur later in my life. I attended the University of WI where I met my husband. He was in the Air Force ROTC, so after we graduated he began his military career. I was blessed with two daughters - Jenny & Kris. Some 30 years later (1992)my husband was stationed at Whiteman AFB, MO. I had just completed my master's degree, and I was diagnosed with kidney failure with FSGS - all related back to my case of strep. My husband retired from the Air Force in 1998 and we returned to WI. I was placed on the UNOS Transplant list in 1998 at U of WI Transplant Center. By August of 1999, my kidney function had gotten to the point that it it was time to start dialysis. For me at least, I was only on dialysis for less than 2 months when a coordinator from U of Wisconsin called me on Oct 15th 1999 that they had a kidney for me. She told me that my donor was a 16 year old that had been involved in a car accident. Later, I received a picture of “Ryan” my donor, from his family. He is indeed my HERO! Here I am almost 26 years later - LIFE IS GOOD! From 2008 till we moved to Casper in 2016 , I was the Director of a non-profit helping seniors in the Milwaukee area. And for the last 20 years I have been trying to “give back” by being a volunteer and public speaker, first in Wisconsin with the WI Donor Network and now here in Wyoming with the WY Donor Alliance. I have also become active with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). Besides being an Ambassador with their on-line site, HealthUnlocked; I have also become a Kidney Advocate. This has involved working with the Wyoming Legislature trying to get the “Living Donor Protection Act”(LDPA) passed. Governor Gordon signed it into WY Law on February 24, 2023.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-08-2026: Dr. Dawn concludes her 2025 medical advances recap, noting that while GLP-1 weight loss drugs showed unexpected benefits for addiction, schizophrenia, and dementia risk, Novo Nordisk recently reported semaglutide had no effect on cognition in people with existing dementia or mild cognitive impairment. She describes the first successful human bladder transplant performed on May 4th. The 41-year-old recipient received both kidney and bladder due to the bladder's complex blood vessel network. Surgeons practiced on cadavers with active circulation before achieving success, opening pathways for future bladder-only transplants for the 84,000 Americans diagnosed with bladder cancer annually. An emailer follows up about purslane for cognitive health. Dr. Dawn reviewed the referenced studies and found neither actually supported claims about purslane and cognition—one discussed the Lyon Heart Study's Mediterranean diet, the other described antioxidant properties. She cautions listeners that websites citing "scientifically proven" claims often reference articles that don't support their assertions. An emailer asks about statin alternatives after developing severe muscle pain on both atorvastatin and rosuvastatin. Dr. Dawn suggests he shouldn't be on statins given his classic adverse reaction. She recommends ezetimibe plus oat bran for cholesterol, metformin for his elevated triglycerides indicating insulin resistance, and checking LDL particle size and inflammation markers. She emphasizes that cholesterol is a risk factor, not a disease, and treating 50 low-risk people for 10 years prevents only one heart attack. A caller discusses plaque formation theory, comparing it to calluses. Dr. Dawn explains Linus Pauling's similar hypothesis that plaque forms at vessel bifurcations to protect against turbulent blood flow damage. She warns against driving total cholesterol below 130, as it disrupts steroid hormone production. The caller shares his mother's near-fatal rhabdomyolysis from statins—muscle breakdown releasing myoglobin that clogs kidneys—and criticizes data transfer failures between hospital systems. An emailer reports four UTIs in two months at age 79. Dr. Dawn questions whether all were true infections, since vaginal contamination causes false positives on dipstick tests. For confirmed UTIs, she recommends D-mannose and cranberry to prevent bacterial adhesion, post-void residual ultrasound to check for incomplete emptying, lactobacillus probiotics, and vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) to restore mucosal thickness and disease resistance. Dr. Dawn describes Stanford's Phase III trial for dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, where defective collagen-7 causes skin layers to separate at the slightest touch. Researchers take patient skin biopsies, use retroviruses to insert corrected genes, grow credit-card-sized skin grafts over 25 days, then suture them onto wounds. At 48 weeks, 65% of treated wounds fully healed versus 7% of controls. She reports a Stanford study showing premature babies who heard recordings of their mothers reading for 2 hours 40 minutes daily developed more mature white matter in language pathways. The left arcuate fasciculus showed greater development than controls, demonstrating how early auditory stimulation shapes brain circuitry even in NICU settings. Dr. Dawn concludes with tattoo safety concerns. Modern vivid inks contain compounds developed for car paint and printer toner, including azo dyes that break down into carcinogenic aromatic amines—especially during laser removal. Pigment particles migrate to lymph nodes and persist in macrophages, causing prolonged inflammation. She advises those with tattoos to avoid laser removal, wear sunscreen, practice lymphatic hygiene, and reconsider extensive new tattoos.
Joseph De Gregorio was raised in a good family and built a successful career on Wall Street, but the 2008 market crash derailed everything. After losing his footing, he started his own business, which eventually turned into a fraud scheme—a decision he ultimately took responsibility for by coming clean and turning himself in to authorities. At the same time, Joseph was battling a severe alcohol addiction, drinking himself to the point of needing a liver transplant. He was later sentenced to federal prison, where he faced harsh conditions and medical challenges while serving time in a federal medical center prison. After his release, Joseph reinvented his life, dedicating himself to helping others navigate the justice system through prison consulting and sentence mitigation work, turning his darkest chapter into a mission to help people avoid the same mistakes. _____________________________________________ #IAlmostDied #PrisonSurvival #AddictionRecovery #TrueCrimeStories #LifeAfterPrison #RedemptionStory #PrisonLife #survivorstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to FRONTLINE HEALING FOUNDATION for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://frontlinehealingfoundation.org/ to donate or share their mission. _____________________________________________ Connect with Joseph De Gregorio: Website: https://www.jnadvisor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jnadvisor-joseph/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Wall Street Success to Federal Prison 02:40 Who He Was Before Everything Fell Apart 11:10 Childhood, Ambition & the Drive to Win 19:16 Inside Wall Street: Money, Power & Pressure 30:08 The 2008 Financial Crash That Changed Everything 39:47 Addiction, Burnout & Losing Control 47:32 Liver Failure, Transplant & Near-Death Hospital Battle 01:03:53 Getting Sober: AA, Accountability & Truth 01:11:20 Turning Himself In to Federal Authorities 01:22:13 Federal Prison While Medically Compromised 01:35:48 Release, Home Confinement & Supervised Release Reality 01:40:58 Life After Prison: Education, Purpose & Reinvention 01:52:00 Beating the System: Mitigation Strategy Explained 02:01:53 Legal Tech, Consulting & The Future of Defense 02:09:40 Final Lessons, Advice & How to Contact Him Learn more about your ad choices.
