In this episode, Brian explains the distinction between primary and secondary headaches and breaks down the defining features of the "big three" primary headache types (migraine, cluster, and tension headache)—highlighting how often they are misdiagnosed and how they are treated. He explores the epidemiology of headaches, describing migraine as an invisible disease affecting about 12% of the population, disproportionately affecting women, while cluster headaches more often affect men. He discusses the major gap between demand for headache care and available specialists, and he offers advice on when to see a physician. Brian dives into the multifactorial nature and pathophysiology of migraine, including genetic and hormonal influences, neurovascular changes, and inflammatory signaling, and connects these mechanisms to modern therapies. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the individualized nature of headache disorders and the importance of a detailed headache diary. Brian shares practical strategies for treating headaches including lifestyle changes, medications, and neuromodulation devices. We discuss: Brian's interest in headaches and how Peter met Brian [2:15]; Differentiating the types of headaches: primary versus secondary headache and tension versus migraine headache [7:30]; The epidemiology and burden of migraine, its disproportionate affect on women, and the shortage of headache specialists [20:00]; Genetic susceptibility to migraine and the role of hormones [24:45]; Migraine triggers, the impact of hormones, and the importance of a headache diary [31:15]; The phases of a migraine: premonitory symptoms, aura, the headache itself, and the postdrome [38:15]; Tension headaches: symptoms, causes, and prevalence [41:45]; Cluster headaches: extreme pain, distinctive symptoms, and frequent misdiagnosis as a sinus infection or allergies [43:15]; Lifestyle interventions to prevent headaches [51:15]; Pharmacological treatments to prevent headaches [1:05:00]; What's known about the pathophysiology of migraines: neurovascular changes, release of neuropeptides, and inflammatory response [1:14:45]; CGRP antagonists for the treatment of migraines: large monoclonal antibodies and gepants [1:20:15]; Use of calcium channel blockers and Botox to treat cluster headache and migraine [1:28:30]; Drugs for the acute treatment of migraines [1:32:30]; Treatment of migraines with electrical stimulation devices [1:40:00]; Use of THC or cannabis to treat headaches [1:44:00]; What Brian wants people to know about headaches [1:45:45]; Brian's advice on when to see a doctor about headaches and how to prepare for that visit [1:49:15]; and More.

    If patients leave unsure about the plan, treatment acceptance has already started slipping. In this Monday Marketing Move, Dr. Sachin Soni breaks down one of the most overlooked moments in the treatment conversation: making a clear recommendation, then giving the patient space to respond honestly. Instead of asking narrow questions like “Do you want to go ahead?” he suggests using more human language like, “So tell me, what are your thoughts?” to uncover hesitation around cost, fear, pain, or timing while the patient is still in front of you. He also shares how dentists can confirm true understanding by creating a partnership where patients know exactly what treatment is being done, why it matters, what it costs, and what to expect at each appointment.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why unclear recommendations quietly lower treatment acceptanceThe simple phrase that opens up better patient conversationsHow to check whether patients truly understand their treatment planWhy “no pressure” conversations often build more trustHow to uncover barriers like cost, fear, or uncertainty earlyWhy patients should feel like partners in their treatmentHow starting small can lead to stronger long-term acceptanceListen now to learn how one simple shift in your treatment conversations can help patients feel clearer, safer, and more ready to move forward!‍Check out Sachin's Media:Website: https://www.thedentistmentor.co.uk/Email: sachin@thedentistmentor.co.ukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentistmentor/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-dentist-mentor/‍Host: Michael AriasJoin my newsletter: https://thedentalmarketer.lpages.co/newsletter/‍Join this podcast's Facebook Group: The Dental Marketer Society‍Love the Podcast?

    Today's Headlines: We're almost to the weekend and we're starting off with tech and medical science. Meta settled its youth addiction trial for $17 billion paid over ten years across 47 states — with new safety requirements for minors including time limits, night mode, and hidden like counts. Of course the company's stock went up after the settlement, which tells you everything about who won. Bill Gates published a 5,784-word AI warning blog post saying there is "no plan" for the transition to the AI era, too late the hero, Bill. In medical news, the FDA approved a new pancreatic cancer drug that nearly doubles survival time compared to chemo alone — genuinely significant given that disease kills 7 out of 8 patients within five years — though at $40,000 a month, accessibility will be an issue. On the food safety beat, an emergency recall was issued for nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentinian beef sold in Florida and Texas, as Trump simultaneously told Glenn Beck he wants to reduce regulations on beef processing plants. During that same Glenn Beck call, Trump attempted to mourn Dolly Parton and ended up mostly saying she liked him, sure. Meanwhile, The CIA director's Moscow visit turned out to involve Russian intelligence officials rather than Putin directly, with the stated purpose being to warn Russia not to attack NATO — while Iran and Russia simultaneously announced a $25 billion nuclear energy deal and a Putin-Pezeshkian summit next week, so it's going great. In bizarre election news, a federal prisoner currently serving time in New York until 2036 somehow got enough votes in Alaska's primary to run for the House in November, listing a South Dakota address and his mother's New York phone number on his filing paperwork, because Alaska's elections are genuinely something else. And finally, a massive mudslide on the Nepal-Tibet border has killed over 150 people with hundreds more missing including 47 American tourists, rescue helicopters unable to land, and climate change-driven permafrost thaw making the damage significantly worse.

    Acute kidney injury is one of the most common complications seen in hospitalized patients, yet it's a topic that often leaves nursing students overwhelmed by lab values and terminology. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three types of AKI and showing you how to recognize the clues that help distinguish one from another. We'll talk through: - Common causes - Important assessment findings - Key lab values - Complications to watch for when kidney function begins to decline. We'll also review how urine output, fluid status, creatinine, BUN, potassium, and other findings fit together so you can stop memorizing isolated facts and start understanding the bigger picture. Nursing school gets easier when you have a system to help you identify what to focus on as you study, and to connect the dots so you can see that bigger picture. I get you started building that system in my free Nursing School Survival Blueprint, where I share the key shifts you can make which separate struggling students from thriving ones.

    What does it look like to assess and treat severe problem behavior when safety concerns have become so significant that a student can no longer participate successfully in their typical school environment? In this episode, Dr. Cory Whelan joins me to discuss his work at Seasons Behavioral Services, where he and Dr. Kara LaCroix have developed an intensive model for assessing and treating dangerous behavior while helping students build the skills they'll need to return to less restrictive settings. Cory brings an unusual perspective to this work. He is dually certified as a speech-language pathologist and behavior analyst, and his career has taken him from challenging school environments in Washington, D.C., to doctoral training at Western New England University, where he worked with Dr. Greg Hanley and became involved in the development and application of practical functional assessment and skill-based treatment approaches. We talk about how Seasons works with students who may be waiting for an out-of-district placement—or whose behavior has become too dangerous for their current educational setting—and what happens during their approximately three-month intensive treatment model. Cory describes how his team uses a universal protocol when students first arrive, with an emphasis on minimizing evocative situations and creating conditions in which students can safely engage with staff before assessment begins. From there, we walk through their approach to caregiver interviews, practical functional assessment, and skill-based treatment. We also spend quite a bit of time discussing something that can sometimes get lost when talking about highly technical treatment procedures: clinical judgment. Cory explains why he trains staff not simply to follow a protocol mechanically, but to continually evaluate what is happening in front of them and make decisions that prioritize the safety and dignity of the person they're serving. We discuss what that looks like when problem behavior occurs unexpectedly, why backing off from a demand isn't necessarily a clinical failure, and how thoughtful decision-making fits within function-based treatment. We also get into some of the nuances of conducting effective functional assessment interviews, including: Building rapport before jumping into questions about problem behavior. Identifying precursors and subtle indicators that a situation is becoming difficult. Asking about activities caregivers or staff may have stopped attempting altogether. Using clinical judgment alongside structured interview tools. What it means when an analysis doesn't produce the behavior you expected to see. Finally, we discuss one of the hardest parts of intensive behavioral treatment: generalization and transition. A student may make tremendous progress in a highly trained treatment environment, but what happens when they move to a school or program with different staff, resources, and contingencies? Cory shares both the successes and limitations they've encountered when trying to support receiving programs and maintain treatment gains across settings. If you're interested in practical functional assessment and skill-based treatment—particularly how these approaches work with severe behavior in real-world clinical and educational environments—I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.

    “Neurodiversity” sounds like a recent buzzword, but it's just a succinct way to capture what we all know: everyone does not process information the same way. Many formal diagnoses fall under the umbrella of neurodivergence, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and learning disabilities. But knowing the specific diagnosis is not necessarily as important as understanding how a person thinks, especially in the context of trauma recovery. Today we are joined by Shealyn Clinger, LCSW, who invites us to think about neurodiversity from a strengths-based and trauma-informed perspective. We start the conversation by defining neurodivergence before discussing the interplay with trauma exposure and suggestions for how to help patients on their path to trauma recovery. As always, we end with Actionable Intel to help listeners hone their skills.Shealyn Clinger, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and Data Manager II at the Consortium for Defense Psychology, where she supports program evaluation and the translation of research into clinical practice. She is also the founder of Cerebral Counseling & Consulting, a private practice specializing in trauma and neurodiversity-affirming care. As a military spouse with both clinical expertise and lived experience, Shealyn is passionate about improving care for neurodivergent individuals and military-connected communities through practical, evidence-informed approaches.Resources mentioned in this episode: ADDitude Magazine: ADDitude - ADD & ADHD Symptom Tests, Signs, Treatment, Support Understood: Understood - For learning and thinking differencesNeurodivergent Insights: https://neurodivergentinsights.com/ Calls-to-action: Shift your perspective from “what's wrong with this patient?” to “how do they process the world and how can I help them heal?”Conduct a comprehensive assessment for each patient, including a thorough review of developmental historyShare your impactful moment in the comments or via https://www.speakpipe.com/cdpp4pSubscribe to the Practical for Your Practice PodcastSubscribe to The Center for Deployment Psychology Monthly Email

    What does it take to heal a wound when poor blood flow is working against you? Dr. Robert McLafferty has spent his career as a vascular surgeon working to save life and limb. But there's another side to him that we first introduced you to several months ago: he's also a songwriter and musician. Now both worlds are coming together. Dr. McLafferty is back on The Heart of Innovation as he prepares for Modern Wound Care Management (MWCM) in Washington, an interdisciplinary conference bringing wound care experts together to discuss real-world cases, treatment strategies and ways to improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-heal wounds. He'll be joined by other speakers from the conference as we talk about what's changing in wound care and some of the latest strategies being used to help wounds heal. This conversation is especially important for people living with advanced peripheral artery disease known as chronic limb-threatening ischemia, or CLTI. When a patient with severely reduced blood flow develops a wound on the foot or leg, healing can become incredibly difficult. These are the patients at greatest risk for infection, tissue loss and amputation, and wound care cannot be separated from the underlying circulation problem. We'll talk about: • What's new in treating complex wounds • Why some wounds simply won't heal • The connection between blood flow and wound healing • What patients with PAD and CLTI need to understand about their wounds • The importance of interdisciplinary care in preventing amputations • Real-world cases and treatment strategies being discussed at MWCM • What patients and caregivers should be asking when a wound isn't getting better And then we're changing gears. Dr. McLafferty has officially released his first album! When we last talked with him, music was the passion he pursued outside the operating room. Now he's taken that passion all the way to releasing an album while continuing his work to save life and limb. We're going to hear how it happened, what inspired the music and what it feels like to finally put something so personal out into the world. Saving limbs and making music. I can't think of many people who can say they're doing both. If you or someone you love has PAD and a wound that isn't healing, rest pain, gangrene, or you've been told amputation may be necessary, call the Global PAD Association Leg Saver Hotline: 1-833-PAD-LEGS We can help you understand your options, prepare questions for your doctors and identify resources for another evaluation when appropriate. Subscribe to @TheWayToMyHeart for more conversations with physicians, innovators and patients working to change the course of peripheral artery disease and prevent unnecessary amputations. The Heart of Innovation is hosted by Kym McNicholas. This program is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice. Wound treatment and revascularization decisions depend on the individual patient and should be discussed with the treating medical team. #WoundCare #PeripheralArteryDisease #PAD #CLTI #LimbSalvage #AmputationPrevention #VascularSurgery #ChronicWounds #WoundHealing #TheHeartOfInnovation

    Everyone worries. Bills. Family. Health. Work. The future. Anxiety is a normal part of being human—but when does ordinary worry become something more? Something that needs professional intervention? More specifically, when does “everyday anxiety” become Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)? In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with ADAA member expert Ben Eckstein, LCSW, therapist, anxiety specialist, and author of “Worrying Is Optional,” to explain how clinicians distinguish everyday stress from a diagnosable anxiety disorder. You'll learn why worrying isn't the same as problem-solving, why avoiding anxiety often makes it worse, and how evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy help people reclaim their lives.  Listeners Will Learn The physical symptoms that commonly accompany chronic anxiety Why avoidance can make anxiety stronger over time The role of medications like SSRIs and benzodiazepines in treating anxiety disorders Why worry can feel productive — even though it hardly ever is Whether you've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, wonder if your anxiety has crossed the line from normal to clinical, or want to better understand someone you care about, this conversation offers practical insights, expert guidance, and hope. We would like to thank Otsuka for providing educational support for this episode. Our guest, Ben Eckstein, LCSW, is the owner and director of Bull City Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  He's a therapist specializing in the treatment of OCD, Anxiety, and OC-Related Disorders. In addition to his clinical work, Ben is a trainer, speaker, and author of the book, “Worrying is Optional.”  Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.

    Today, we are taking a deep dive into a medical truth thatsounds completely counterintuitive, almost upside down, based on everything you think you know about women's health. But here's the kicker: it's actually nothing new at all. For over two decades, ever since the landmark Women'sHealth Initiative (WHI) study made global headlines back in 2002, the blanket narrative surrounding menopausal hormone therapy has been clear and persistent: hormones equal breast cancer risk. But there is a massive asterisk in thatscience that got completely lost in the media noise. While combination therapy with conjugated equine estrogens paired with medroxyprogesterone acetate (CEE +MPA) did show an increased risk, the story for estrogen-only therapy (mainly CEE) in women wh had a hysterectomy is entirely different. In fact, an overwhelming mountain of growing data shows that estrogen-only therapy is protectiveagainst both breast cancer incidence and breast cancer mortality. In this episode, we're unpacking the latest high-level evidence that cements this crucial distinction. We'll examine the broad statistical landscape, including a comprehensive meta-analysis by Qing et al. (officially set for the December 2026 issue of Annals of Medicine, following its ahead-of-print release in March 2026). Their work breaks down how randomized controlled trial data consistentlypoint to estrogen-only therapy having a protective effect, in stark contrast to combination therapy. We'll also dive into a brand-new Clinical Perspective published in mid-August 2026 in Obstetrics & Gynecology (the Green Journal) by Drs. Andrew Kaunitz and Jason Wright. They call urgent attention to this phenomenon, highlighting RCT meta-analyses that demonstrate a 23% reduction in breast cancer incidence with estrogen alone (RR = 0.77), alongside striking cohort data showing a dramatic risk reduction even in high-risk populations, like carriers of the BRCA mutation.  Listenin for details.1.     Wu Q, Shen L, Hu S, Yang R, Wang Y, Xue D, SunY, Ma H, Dai Z.

    View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this episode, Peter sits down with Dr. Linus Abrams, a psychiatrist with nearly 35 years of clinical experience specializing in mood disorders and psychopharmacology, to explore how our understanding of mental health is evolving beyond the traditional neurotransmitter model. After decades in practice, Linus began questioning many of the assumptions underlying modern psychiatry, leading him to investigate how hormones, metabolism, inflammation, circadian biology, and the endocrine system shape mood and cognition. Together, Peter and Linus examine why psychiatric care should aim not only to reduce symptoms but also to restore the full human experience. They discuss how psychiatric medications work, where they fall short, and why distinguishing bipolar disorder from unipolar depression is essential for effective treatment. The conversation also explores the growing mental health burden of social isolationn associated with digital devices and social media, along with the biological factors—nutrition, exercise, sleep, and chronic stress—that influence resilience and distress tolerance. Linus explains the powerful roles of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormone in regulating mood and cognition across the lifespan. Finally, Peter and Linus review the promise and limitations of ketamine and psychedelic therapies, and why the future of psychiatry may lie in integrating neuroscience, endocrinology, and whole-body physiology to better understand, diagnose, and treat mental illness. We discuss: Linus's passion for understanding his patients and going beyond traditional psychiatry [2:45]; A short primer on the different classes of drugs used in psychiatry [12:45]; Evaluation of a patient with bipolar disorder [26:00]; An evolutionary perspective on depression [33:30]; Changes in the modern world triggering mental health problems [41:00]; An evolutionary perspective on insomnia [48:15]; Peter's window analogy to understand distress tolerance and irritability [49:45]; The impact of foundational biological factors on psychiatry: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and endocrinology [52:30]; The effect of estradiol on neurotransmitters in the brain [58:15]; Options for increasing testosterone in men, and why clomiphene is inferior to exogenous testosterone [1:11:00]; The rapid drop in progesterone is linked to both premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and postpartum depression [1:14:30]; Treatment of postpartum depression [1:18:00]; Hypothyroidism presenting as depression: how Linus makes the diagnosis and what he uses for treatment [1:26:00]; The link between hyperarousal and chronically elevated cortisol [1:39:30]; A case where the menopause transition uncovers bipolar disorder [1:44:15]; Ketamine as a tool to treat recalcitrant depression, and concerns about its recreational use [1:49:15]; Case study: an Alzheimer's patient who improved after psilocybin, and why Linus is cautious about drawing conclusions from it [1:55:15]; Peter's experience with psychedelics, and the myth that estrogen is bad for men [2:00:30]; The therapeutic potential of psychedelics in psychiatry [2:11:00]; and More.
