Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Many thanks for all that you do for this community! I'd love your advice on anal fissures. I had one recently that had begun healing. My doctor gave me Diltiazem/Lidocaine cream that I used 2x day and my fissure closed and developed healing/scar tissue. However, less than 2 months later, it's opened again. His suggestions previously involved either Botox injections or surgery if the cream had not worked and I would prefer to try and address it more naturally. Do you have any suggestions about what I can do to get this fissure to heal and stay healed naturally? I'm working on diet/fiber but that doesn't seem to be enough. One bad bout of constipation and it seems to undo anything I've done to help. Thanks!       Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. This is a bit of an intimate question. I'm having some sort of reaction after I have sexual intercourse. I get a prickly, itchy, warm sensation in my vagina, on my legs and stomach. Sometimes red bumps appear on my skin. Almost like I'm having an allergic reaction. Symptoms continue on and off for about 3 or 4 days then everything calms down and goes back to normal. It seems to happen more around ovulation and menstruation but recently happening anytime of the month. Any idea what is happening to me and what I can do to heal it?! To note, I'm 40 years old, still getting regular periods. Thank you for your help!       Mke: Hi Dr Cabral, would love your thoughts. I have known for a year I've had silicosis & PMF (progressive massive fibrosis) I was misdiagnosed for the last 15 years they've told me I've had sarcoidosis. My wife is an IHP, and we have been doing foundational protocols/DNS/detoxes/heavy metal detox/saunas/coffee enemas etc for the past 3 years. I have a very physical job and do keep my cardio fitness up, which seems to help my breathing. We have just invested in a home soft shell hyperbaric chamber after speaking to a guy in the US who's lung function has dramatically improved (he has silicosis but not PMF) as well as investing in a rife machine. Do you have any advice, thoughts or info on slowing down or reversing scarring or anything that might help?       Jamie: My daughter, nearly seven, has developed severe hay fever this year in the UK. She is constantly sneezing, has dark circles under her eyes, looks exhausted for almost three months, and her sleep, breathing, concentration and focus seem affected. She may also have a mild dairy intolerance, possibly linked to eczema in her inner elbows, though otherwise she is active and well. We also suspect slightly restricted sinus passages and mouth-breathing, and are considering seeing a functional-medicine-style dentist to support facial/skull development. Could you advise on practical ways to help her and whether any allergy or other tests would be worthwhile at her age to identify the root cause? Any initial guidance hugely welcome. Massive thank you to you your family and your team.      Sarah: Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 grade 3 endometrial cancer. I underwent six rounds of chemotherapy: Paclitaxel and carboplatin along with immunotherapy; jemperli. I also had a complete hysterectomy after the third round. Prior to treatment I had regular bowel movements. Now they are loose and very dark brown. I have very limited resources currently. What do you suggest I do to heal my gut?    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3796 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

That exhaustion that lingers months — even years — after treatment ends has a name: cancer-related fatigue. And for too long, survivors were simply told to live with it. This week, Jen sits down with Dr. Jessa Landmann, a naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology specialist in Calgary who works right alongside oncology teams to support the whole person. Her brand-new book, Beyond Cancer Fatigue: A Path to Reclaiming Energy, is the first resource devoted entirely to this overlooked struggle — and it's packed with evidence-based, do-it-today tools. Jen and Dr. Jessa get into why fatigue lingers long after the bell is rung, the surprising link between estrogen loss and brain fog in breast cancer survivors, and why healing is an active process, not a waiting game. In this episode: What a naturopathic doctor actually does — and how integrative care fills the gap conventional oncology doesn't have time for Why acupuncture is one of the most researched complementary therapies for pain The one supplement endorsed by ASCO for fatigue (hint: it's an adaptogen) The shocking stat on muscle loss after chemo — and why creatine, HMB, and resistance training matter Cutting through nutrition confusion: why carbs aren't the enemy and under-eating backfires The truth about motivation: action comes first, motivation follows Dr. Jessa's "movement menu," starting with the Barely There list for your lowest-energy days How estrogen loss drives brain fog, weight changes, and disrupted sleep What caregivers need to understand about invisible fatigue Healing the physical, emotional, and spiritual — and giving yourself grace along the way About the guest: Dr. Jessa Landmann is a naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology specialist based in Calgary, with nearly 15 years supporting people through cancer. She offers virtual appointments to patients worldwide. Get the book: Beyond Cancer Fatigue: A Path to Reclaiming Energy is available on Amazon and through Wiley Publishing.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ dig into the spectacular self-destruction of Weldon Boyd's case against attorney Mark "the Tiger" Tinsley—the wannabe blueberry farmer who sued the lawyer representing the family of the man he killed. Spoiler: Judge Hyman tossed it. We walk through the June 10 hearing, Desa Ballard's baffling "declaratory judgment" demand, and the question nobody could answer: what exactly are we trying to remedy here?Then there's Ken Moss's bizarre motion to recuse Judge Eugene Bubba Griffith, built on a mysterious affidavit he refuses to produce—and a subpoena aimed straight at LUNASHARK®...?Plus: Mandy reports back from her Spartanburg contempt hearing, where Greg Parker's attorneys want her to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars - we think - to a gas-station billionaire. We're broadcasting all four hours Thursday, June 25th at noon on Facebook - watch it with us or catch the replay only on LUNASHARK® Premium afterward.Let's Dive In…

6.25.26, Kevin Sheehan goes on a rant on the WNBA players after their treatment of Caitlin Clark since she entered the league.

A few things on the agenda today. First, RFK Jr. and the MAHA crew want medical schools to dedicate around 40 hours, roughly 20% of preclinical training, to nutrition education. I have some thoughts. We already have dietitians, med school is already a fire hydrant, and the Krebs cycle had it coming, but this isn't the way. Then a Mark Cuban appreciation segment, because he's out there on X dragging the entire healthcare system toward transparency. His latest pitch: someone buy a hospital, charge Medicare rates for every single thing, expose every dollar in and out, and prove whether Medicare for All can actually work. In theory, I'm in. In practice, you can't slash physician pay without first addressing the $500,000 in debt that gets people into the door. The Australian model, a real public safety net coexisting with a private system, makes more sense to me, but only if we fix the training pipeline first. After the break, ophthalmology. A young man got a bamboo shoot to the eye six months ago. Healed up fine. Now he's waking up at 2 AM in excruciating pain, no trauma involved. That's a recurrent corneal erosion. I walk through why it happens, why CPAP can make it worse, and the whole treatment ladder, ointment, bandage contact lenses, superficial keratectomy, corneal micropuncture. Also: don't let your cornea melt. That's the headline. Takeaways: RFK Jr. and MAHA are pushing medical schools to dedicate around 40 hours, or 20%, of preclinical training to nutrition, a shift that ignores the existence of dietitians and would crowd out essential physiology and disease education Mark Cuban has floated a real-world test case for Medicare for All: buy a hospital, charge only Medicare rates, and operate with complete financial transparency to show whether the model is sustainable Any serious move toward Medicare for All or an Australian-style public-private hybrid will require addressing the roughly $500K in training debt physicians carry; otherwise the math doesn't work and recruitment collapses Recurrent corneal erosion happens when an old abrasion never fully reattaches to the underlying stroma, patients typically wake up in severe pain because the eyelid scrapes loose epithelium across a dry cornea overnight, and CPAP without a good seal makes it worse Treatment escalates from aggressive nighttime lubrication (erythromycin ointment, Genteal gel) to a bandage contact lens, and in stubborn cases to a superficial keratectomy or corneal micropuncture to create a smoother, more firmly attached corneal surface To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

When Beth Hillman's son came home from wilderness treatment, the first crisis didn't come from him. It came from her. Standing in the driveway, anxious and spiraling, she watched her teenage son look at her calmly and say, "Mom, look at me. I'm gonna be okay." Her first thought was not relief. It was, oh! I'm in big trouble.Her son had come home with more access to his thinking brain than she had. He also came home to a mother who had not yet done her own work and was carrying expectations she could not even name. When he finally told her, "Mom, your expectations of how this is gonna go are going to wreck me," Beth had to get honest about what she was really asking of him.Today Beth is a double certified life and parent coach, host of the Parenting Post-Wilderness podcast, and a familiar voice in our community, where she leads sessions and groups for parents in the fragile season after treatment.In this conversation, we get real about the first 90 days after a child comes home, from both sides. Why kids may agree to everything just to get home, why pushback on a home plan might be the best sign you can get, and what your child is actually walking back into when they return to the house where the holes in the doors are. Beth names the piece most home plans are missing, and I think it will change how you prepare.If your child is coming home from treatment soon, or is already home and wobbling, this episode was made for you.YOU'LL LEARN:The driveway moment that convinced Beth she was the one in troubleWhy kids check every box to get home, and why that is not manipulationWhat her son said about her expectations that stopped Beth coldThe green flag most parents mistake for defianceThe almost too simple practice Beth reached for when her brain went offlineEPISODE RESOURCES:Beth's website - www.bethhillmancoaching.comBeth's podcast, Parenting Post WildernessBeth on Hopestream podcast episode 279Information on PAWS (post-acute withdrawal syndrome)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and others have changed the conversation around weight, diabetes and metabolic health. But while these medications can help reduce appetite, they also make it more important than ever to focus on nutrient quality. In this episode, obesity medicine specialist Dr. Amanda Fontenot joins us to separate fact from fiction around GLP-1 medications, covering who they're for, what to expect, and how to protect muscle, gut health, and overall wellness for the long haul.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sleep is not just something women need more of. It is something women struggle with in ways that are fundamentally different from men and almost nobody explains why.Dr. Wendy Troxel, PhD is one of the most respected sleep scientists in the world. Her research has shaped sleep policy in the US military. Her book, Sharing the Covers, is one of the most practical and science-backed guides to partnered sleep available. She is the rare researcher who can speak to the biology of sleep, the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, and what is actually happening in your bedroom, all in the same conversation.This episode is sponsored by Zen Basil.

Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah on the most requested topic from Thriving Dentist listeners: how to increase treatment acceptance. Three benchmarks, four common mistakes, the family member technique, Dr. Frank Spear's six photos, the hygienist script, the consultation room argument, the 60/40 split for high-value dentistry, and the stat that stops every practice owner: less than 6% of insurance patients ever accepted non-urgent treatment.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026's increased tick concerns, Evelyn's high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time.— Connect With EvelynIG: https://www.instagram.com/thefusionfnp/https://www.gmofwi.com/ _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide._________Timestamp:00:00 Tick Symptoms Surge01:15 Why This Episode Matters02:13 Podcast Intro And Disclaimers03:26 Meet Evelyn Tick Specialist04:41 Evies Lyme Origin Story07:21 From Trauma NP To Lyme Clinic14:41 Modern Tick Boom And What We Can Control37:34 Why Medicine Misses Lyme38:32 Terrain First Foundations39:50 Stress Hormones and Pregnancy41:19 Tick Bite Prevention Basics46:26 Tick Testing and Next Steps54:04 Treatment Options Beyond Antibiotics01:02:49 Testing Advocacy and Finding Help——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

 Give Nutrition Advice Without Making Patients Feel Punished Have you ever asked, “Do you have any other questions?” at the end of a visit and immediately regretted it?Same.Because of course they have more questions. Important questions. Questions that probably should have been asked 15 minutes ago, except now you're already behind, the next patient is waiting, and you're trying to be compassionate without completely derailing the visit.In this episode, I'm talking with Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, registered dietitian, author of Eating From Our Roots, and founder of Maya Feller Nutrition, about the art of inviting patients into treatment instead of simply telling them what to do.We talk about cultural humility, implicit bias, why foods like rice, tortillas, noodles, plantains, and traditional starches get unfairly blamed for chronic disease, and how clinicians can help patients improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipids without stripping away the foods that feel like home. Maya also shares a brilliant framework for setting the agenda with patients, asking permission, and keeping the visit patient-centered without losing control of the clock. In this episode, you'll learn: Why “healthy” food is often viewed through an Anglo-American lens, and how that can unintentionally shame patients' cultural foods  How to be curious before corrective when talking about nutrition, weight, chronic disease, and food traditions  How to use the plate method more flexibly What to say when patients want to improve blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, or inflammation without giving up familiar foods  Why frozen meals, canned foods, jarred foods, dried beans, frozen vegetables, and center-aisle foods absolutely belong in realistic nutrition counseling  How to help patients reduce added sugar without making it feel like punishment  Maya's strategy for “sugar interactions” and helping patients create a beginning, middle, and end around sweets  How to start the visit by asking what is on the patient's mind, while still addressing your clinical priorities Resources Mentioned:Episode 146: When Culture is Erased from GuidelinesConnect with MayaAny Questions?

Lucy's got a device that's changing the world of light therapy.Lucy founded LYMA, a supplement company born from her own health crisis.

Guest Dr. Veronique Desaulniers:  "I'm increasingly excited about the program that we launched in 2023 and have been expanding ever since: Conquering Breast Cancer with Conventional Treatments and Natural Remedies.  The reason I added this aspect of healing breast cancer and supporting women is, because we realized after many years of working with women around the world, along with medical and integrative doctors, that there comes a time in a woman's journey that she may need more support than traditional medicine alone." Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, better known as Dr. V, is the founder of Breast Cancer Conqueror® and creator of the 7 Essentials System®. Her signature process has empowered thousands of women in over 65 countries. Dr. V has personally conquered breast cancer twice, which gives her an empathetic perspective to understand other women facing a healing journey.  Her first book, Heal Breast Cancer Naturally, was a #1 Amazon Best Seller in 10 categories. In late 2025 she and Dr. Michael Karlfeldt released Breast Cancer Breakthrough: Integrating Conventional & Natural Medicine for True Healing. This combines their decades of clinical experience and dedication to integrative breast cancer healing to transform women's health, mindset and bodies.

Not all vitamins work the same. What if the difference between helping your child heal… and unintentionally holding them back… comes down to how you're using something as simple as vitamin C or D? In this episode, we're talking about two of the most commonly used nutrients in cancer care(vitamin C and vitamin D) and why dose, source, and strategy matter more than most people realize. This conversation comes from a live office hours session with Dr. Charles Pennick, where we walk through how these nutrients actually function in the body, the difference between synthetic and whole-food forms, and how to think about dosing safely, especially during active treatment. We also explore the nuances that often get missed: why vitamin C isn't just ascorbic acid, how high-dose IV vitamin C works differently than oral forms, and why pairing vitamin D with K2 is essential for proper absorption and safety. If you've ever felt confused about supplements—or wondered if you're doing "too much" or "not enough". This episode will help you approach these foundational nutrients with more clarity and confidence.   LINKS   Guest Links Website: https://www.drcharlespenick.com/about    Recommended Tools & Resources: Fullscript (Practitioner-Grade Supplements): If you're looking for high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements to support your health, Season has created a hand-curated Fullscript dispensary with the exact products she trusts and uses in practice.

The first uterine transposition, a minimally invasive surgery that temporarily relocates your uterus into your upper abdomen, was performed in Canada on a young woman in Montreal earlier this year. The surgery was designed to help young women battling specific types of cancer around the pelvic area preserve their fertility, which is typically lost during radiation therapy. We speak with Dr. Reitan Ribeiro, who pioneered this surgery in 2017 and performed the first surgery in Canada this year, and Denise Maradona, an early patient of Dr. Ribeiro's who received one of the first ever uterine transpositions in Brazil back in 2018.

As colorectal cancer rates rise among younger adults, surgeons are increasingly caring for patients with rectal cancer who are pregnant or hoping to preserve future fertility. With more individuals delaying childbearing, balancing effective cancer treatment with fertility preservation and maternal–fetal safety has become an important clinical challenge. This timely topic was recently highlighted by Dr. Sharon Suwanabol during a presentation at the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons annual meeting 2026. In this episode, we explore the intersection of rectal cancer, fertility, and pregnancy through a multidisciplinary, case-based discussion. We review how surgery, chemotherapy, and pelvic radiation can affect fertility and sexual function in both men and women, and why early counseling and referral to reproductive endocrinology specialists are essential. The discussion also emphasizes that evaluation and treatment during pregnancy can often be performed safely, with care individualized based on tumor stage, gestational age, and the patient's goals and values. Hosts and discussants ·      Dr. Betelhem Yohannes, General surgery resident at the University of Washington ·      Dr. Griffen Allen, General surgery resident at the University of Washington  ·      Dr. Raga Siddharthan, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Section of Colorectal Surgery at the University of Washington  ·      Dr. Stacey Cohen, Professor in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington and a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, specializing in colorectal and other GI cancers. Learning objectives ·      Describe the impact of rectal cancer surgery on fertility, sexual function, and future childbearing potential. ·      Review the effects of chemotherapy and pelvic radiation on reproductive health and fertility preservation. ·      Discuss available fertility preservation strategies and the importance of early pre-treatment counseling and referral. ·      Recognize the diagnostic challenges of rectal cancer during pregnancy, including overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. ·      Review appropriate staging and workup considerations for suspected rectal cancer in pregnant patients. ·      Discuss multidisciplinary management strategies for rectal cancer during pregnancy, including individualized treatment sequencing. ·      Examine ethical and patient-centered considerations when balancing maternal cancer treatment and fetal outcomes. References  Siegel RL, Wagle NS, Star J, Kratzer TB, Smith RA, Jemal A.

Have you been asking yourself lately, “Where is all the money going?” Or have you noticed that certain procedures are simply less productive than they used to be? Maybe you've even wondered to yourself, “I feel like I'm working harder and making less, what is happening?” If these thoughts sound familiar, then tune into this episode. Dr. Kuba and Bethany spend time discussing current trends in the MAD world of insurance. The fact of the matter is in-network practices actually are making less now due to changes in insurance. Practice owners must equip themselves with the tools needed to evaluate what has changed, why it has changed, and what they can do about it. Insurance is, no doubt, a world than can drive one mad. However, it is a world that must be won by practice owners. Listen in as practical tips are discussed. 

Drs. Yiu and Emami wrap-up their discussion of the 49th Annual Macula Society Meeting, focusing on new and emerging treatments for retinal diseases—such as gene therapies and longer‑acting eye injections—and reflect on both their promise and current limitations. They note that while these advances, along with tools like AI and multi-omics, are exciting, they are only beginning to influence everyday clinical practice and patient counseling.

What if CPAP isn't the only option for treating obstructive sleep apnea?In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Eric Mongeau, Chief Commercial Officer at Daybreak, to discuss the growing role of oral appliance therapy in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).While CPAP remains the gold standard treatment for OSA, many patients are surprised to learn that oral appliance therapy can be an effective option for certain individuals. Eric explains how oral appliances work, who may benefit from them, and why having more treatment choices can help more patients achieve successful outcomes.We also explore how oral appliance therapy and PAP therapy can sometimes work together, creating personalized treatment plans that improve comfort, adherence, and long-term success.Key Takeaways:✅ Oral appliance therapy is a viable treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea✅ CPAP remains the gold standard therapy for OSA✅ Patients today have more treatment choices than ever before✅ The ultimate goal is effective treatment and better health outcomes✅ Oral appliance therapy can sometimes be used alongside PAP therapyWhether you're a sleep professional, DME provider, clinician, or someone living with sleep apnea, this episode offers valuable insights into the expanding landscape of sleep apnea treatment options.You can find Eric on LinkedIn and learn more about Daybreak at https://www.thedaybreak.com/A huge thanks to our sponsors:Philips Healthcare   See how Philips is supporting you and your patients with meaningful innovation.

Today with Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson: Build a Luxury Window Treatment Business Without a Workroom Today with Jim Davis-Johnson of Jim Davis Designs, we get into what it takes to build and run a high-end luxury window treatment business. Jim shares how he grew his company from working in his mother's South Georgia business since seventh grade to running a multimillion-dollar brand serving high-end designers and discerning clients from Atlanta to the Caribbean, all without his own workroom. We talk about the non-negotiables of serving luxury clients: how to present yourself and your brand, how to build vendor relationships that maintain impeccable quality at scale, and how to price properly so you can say yes to every client request without resentment or burnout. Jim gets candid about the hard lessons he's learned along the way and shares why managing your own expectations is the key to running a profitable, sustainable business. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business, attract higher-caliber clients, or work successfully with production workrooms while maintaining custom-level quality, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap. More About Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson is the Principal Designer and Aesthetic Artist behind Jim Davis Designs, a luxury window-treatment and soft-goods atelier headquartered in Midtown Atlanta. Since founding the company in 2015, Jim has grown his firm from a one-man operation into a multimillion-dollar brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and elevated client experience. His portfolio spans high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects across the U.S., the Caribbean, and beyond, including ongoing work in Antigua and luxury communities throughout the Southeast. Jim brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, technical expertise, and personal depth to his work. Raised in South Georgia in a family dynamic that shaped both his resilience and his drive, Jim built his company from the ground up with no shortcuts, relying on determination, curiosity, and a vision for beauty that felt both healing and purposeful. His upbringing gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to how spaces make people feel, something that now guides every design decision he makes. Jim's spiritual growth, including transformative experiences with meditation and therapy, has influenced his belief that design is far more than aesthetics. For him, window treatments are an expression of intention: they soften emotions, shift energy, and elevate the way people engage with their homes. He approaches each project as an opportunity to bring clarity, harmony, and beauty into a client's life, grounding his creative process in mindfulness and the power of meaningful service. Now, since April 2025, based in a street-front Midtown Atlanta showroom with over 22,000 cars passing by daily, Jim leads a team alongside his husband and lead installer, Rickey Davis-Johnson. Together, they provide full-service fabrication, project management, and installation, with a reputation for delivering flawless results and building lasting relationships with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners. Jim's work is increasingly in demand, from Florida's coveted 30A corridor to mountain homes in North Georgia, Kentucky horse country, international island estates, and major metropolitan projects. His recent launch of a national quick-ship drapery program and growing e-commerce platform has positioned Jim Davis Designs as a leader not only in custom luxury fabrication, but also in accessible, ready-to-ship window fashions for design-forward clients nationwide. With a philosophy rooted in intention, authenticity, and the belief that design can be both luxurious and deeply meaningful, Jim continues to expand his influence as a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller. His journey, from overcoming adversity to building a brand grounded in service, craftsmanship, and soul, reflects the heart of his work and the spirit he brings to every project.

CardioNerds (Amit and Dan), Billy Joe Mullinax, and Saahil Jumkhawala discuss the long term management of pulmonary embolism with Dr. Soophia Naydenov.  The episode focuses on the approach to patients who struggle with persistent symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue even after completing the acute phase of anticoagulation. This spectrum of disease, ranging from mild post-PE impairment to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), requires a structured follow-up. The discussion covers the critical importance of identifying CTEPH early, the necessary timelines for follow-up, and the appropriate objective screening tools and invasive testing to guide patient care toward full functional recovery. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Acronyms PE: Pulmonary Embolism PERT: Pulmonary Embolism Response Team CTEPH: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension QL: Quality of Life VTE: Venous Thromboembolism DASH: D-dimer, Age, Sex, History of non-provoked PE (a risk score) CPET: Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing PFTs: Pulmonary Function Tests VQ Scan: Ventilation-Perfusion Scan DOACs: Direct Oral Anticoagulants TPA: Tissue Plasminogen Activator (Thrombolytics) ECMO: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Pearls: Post-PE “Syndrome” is a Spectrum: It is more accurately a spectrum of disease (sequelae of PE) rather than a single syndrome, ranging from mild fatigue/dyspnea to the most severe form, CTEPH. Structured Follow-up is Mandatory: All PE survivors need a structured follow-up, typically with checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and 16–24 months, with the primary goal being to detect CTEPH, the deadliest, yet potentially curable, disease on the spectrum. Screening Should Be Objective and Practical: When screening for persistent symptoms, use objective assessment tools like the Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale or the Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) scale, as highly comprehensive but cumbersome tools (like the PE Quality of Life questionnaire) may not be practical for routine clinical use. Recurrence Risk Scores Aid in Anticoagulation Duration: Simple scores like the DASH score or the HERDO2 score (for women) can provide guidance when considering the continuation versus discontinuation of anticoagulation after the initial treatment phase. Invasive Testing for Persistent Symptoms: If a patient remains symptomatic at the 6-month mark despite normal non-invasive testing (chest X-ray, ECG, PFTs, six-minute walk, echo, VQ scan, CPET), consider invasive testing such as Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise, or an invasive CPET. Notes: Notes drafted by Saahil Jumkhawala. 1. The Spectrum of Post-PE Disease The term “post-PE syndrome” should be used with caution, as it refers to a spectrum of disease rather than a single entity. This spectrum includes symptoms (sequelae) that exist in a patient’s life following an incidental PE event that they did not have before. On one extreme is Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH): The definition is clear, but it is the most deadly type, though thankfully rare (2% to 4%). It involves a residual clot and pulmonary hypertension identifiable at rest. In the middle is Chronic Thromboembolic Disease (CTED): Patients may have residual defects seen on a VQ or CT scan, but they do not have pulmonary hypertension. On the other side is a milder disease, which can include fatigue, dyspnea, or a patient’s perceived impairment, where the definitions of CTEPH and CTED are not met, but the patient remains symptomatic. 2. Structured Follow-up and Screening for Post-PE Symptoms Structured follow-up is key for all PE survivors, though the structure may vary based on available resources (PCP, Cardiology, Pulmonary, or multidisciplinary clinic). Recommended Timeline for Follow-up: Data from studies like ELOPE and FOCUS suggest checkpoints at 3, 6, 12, and up to 16 to 24 months. This timeline is designed to identify patients who may develop CTEPH. 88% of patients who develop CTEPH will be identified within about a year. A structured follow-up can reduce the delay in CTEPH diagnosis from 10–12 months to 4–6 months. Personal Practice Note: A quick 2–3 week/30-day check-in is recommended for severely ill patients (e.g., those who had TPA, profound shock, or ECMO support) to ensure medication compliance, manage symptoms, and identify red flags. Screening Tools (Objective Assessment): The first step is an inventory of patient symptoms, leaning toward objective rather than subjective assessment. Recommended Simple Tools: Modified Medical Research Council (MMR-C) for dyspnea evaluation. Post-VTE Functional Status (PVFS) scale. The Pulmonary Embolism Quality of Life (QL) questionnaire is comprehensive but long, making it tedious and better suited for research. Future Utility: Technology (AI/electronic tools) may assist in administering these questionnaires before the clinic visit, presenting the information as a “dashboard” for the provider. 3. Management of Persistent Symptoms and Further Testing Initial Non-Invasive Tests (Often done at 3 months): Echocardiogram VQ Scan Full PFTs Six-minute walk CPET Further Evaluation for Persistent Symptoms (e.g., at 6 months): If non-invasive tests (Chest X-ray, ECG, CPET) are normal but symptoms persist, more invasive testing should be considered as the patient has not returned to baseline. Repeat VQ scan or echocardiogram if symptoms have changed. Right Heart Catheterization (RHC) at rest or with exercise. Invasive CPET. PA gram (Pulmonary Angiogram) to assess vasculature. 4. Recurrence Risk and Anticoagulation Duration The decision to continue or discontinue anticoagulation depends on the patient’s risk factors, the situation of the PE (provoked or unprovoked), presence of active cancer, and patient preference. Recurrence Risk Scores: Simple scores are preferred for practicality. DASH Score. HERDO2 Score (particularly for women). The Vienna Score can be considered if the question is whether to restart anticoagulation after a disruption. Role of D-dimer in Abbreviation: While D-dimer can be used to guide the decision to restart anticoagulation after a planned pause (if D-dimer is high, resume), patient symptoms are preferable to guide management decisions like early abbreviation. 5. Prevention of Post-PE Syndrome Currently, there is no clear tool known to prevent the post-PE syndrome/spectrum of disease. Best Current Advice for Prevention/Recovery: Anticoagulation compliance. Pulmonary rehabilitation, which aids in faster recovery. General precautions, such as smoking cessation and body weight management. Future Research: Ongoing trials are investigating whether acute management strategies (e.g., using thrombolytics in intermediate-risk PE) can prevent long-term sequelae. (The PYTHO trial did not show a reduced rate of CTEPH in intermediate-risk PE patients who received thrombolytics). References: Khan, F., Tritschler, T., Kahn, S. R., & Rodger, M.

Anthony Santana survived fentanyl addiction, homelessness, drug dealing, and nearly 100 overdoses — but what he saw inside the rehab industry shocked him almost as much as the streets. In this episode of The Connect, Anthony exposes the dark world of rehab corruption, body brokering, and treatment centers allegedly profiting from fentanyl addicts through insurance payouts. He breaks down how addicts are recruited, paid, recycled through detox programs, and sometimes pushed back into relapse so the money keeps flowing. Anthony also opens up about selling fentanyl and Xanax in California, living homeless in Los Angeles, dealing drugs in MacArthur Park, surviving overdoses, and eventually finding real recovery after years of addiction. This is a raw look at the fentanyl crisis, the California rehab scam, and the hidden business behind addiction treatment. Go Support Anthony!
