In this episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Michael Lewis, renowned expert in brain health and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and author of the groundbreaking book, When Brains Collide. Dr. Lewis is the founder of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute and BrainCARE. With a military background and extensive experience in traumatic brain injuries, Dr. Lewis has dedicated his career to exploring how omega-3 fish oils can play a vital role in preventing and recovering from concussions, TBI, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Key Discussion Points 1. The Role of Omega-3 Fish Oils in Brain Health Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, are crucial for maintaining brain structure and function. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective, making them vital in protecting the brain from injury and supporting recovery. 2. High-Dose Omega-3 Fish Oil for Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Dr. Lewis emphasizes how high-dose fish oil can help mitigate damage following a concussion or TBI. Dosing Protocols: In acute brain injury cases, Dr. Lewis recommends significantly higher doses of fish oil (e.g., up to 3-9 grams of combined DHA and EPA per day) to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore brain cell membrane integrity. Case studies demonstrate remarkable improvements in TBI patients, including quicker recovery times, reduced brain fog, and restored cognitive function. 3. Fish Oils for Neurodegeneration and Stroke Prevention Regular intake of omega-3s is shown to be effective in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Omega-3s help prevent stroke by reducing blood clot formation, improving vascular health, and lowering inflammation in brain tissues. Dr. Lewis advocates for omega-3s as part of a preventive strategy, particularly for aging individuals at higher risk of neurodegenerative conditions. 4. Using Omega-3s as Preventive Medicine Consistent omega-3 supplementation is not just for recovery—it's crucial for maintaining optimal brain health. Athletes, military personnel, and individuals at risk for head trauma should use omega-3s proactively to strengthen their brain's resilience to injury. Preventative Dosing: Dr. Lewis suggests a daily intake of at least 2-3 grams of DHA and EPA combined for ongoing brain health and injury prevention. 5. How to Choose a High-Quality Fish Oil Dr. Lewis explains the criteria for identifying a high-quality fish oil supplement: Purity: Free from contaminants like heavy metals and toxins. Potency: Look for a high concentration of DHA and EPA. Stability: Avoid fish oils that oxidize easily, as rancid oils can be harmful. Sourcing: Prefer fish oils sourced from wild-caught, sustainably harvested fish. Importance of third-party testing to ensure the product is safe and effective. 6. Personal Stories and Case Studies Dr. Lewis shares inspiring stories of patients and athletes who have successfully used omega-3 therapy to recover from brain injuries. Examples include a football player who recovered from multiple concussions and a stroke survivor who regained cognitive function with high-dose omega-3 supplementation. 7. How to Use Omega-3s After Brain Injury Immediate supplementation following a brain injury can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes. The sooner omega-3s are introduced post-injury, the better. Dr. Lewis provides insight into the timing and administration of omega-3 supplements during the acute phase of brain injury treatment. Recommended Resources: Dr. Michael Lewis's Website: Brain Health Education and Research Institute: http://www.brainhealtheducation.org/ BrainCARE: BrainCARE Center When Brains Collide Book Join us for this enlightening discussion on the powerful benefits of omega-3 fish oils for brain protection, recovery, and overall health. Dr. Michael Lewis's pioneering work is transforming how we approach brain injuries and neurodegeneration, highlighting the critical role that nutrition and supplementation play in maintaining cognitive vitality. Tune in to learn how you can harness the power of omega-3s for your brain health and optimize your recovery from injury or disease.

If you're someone who values your skin's health, but loves soaking up the sun's warmth, then UPF clothing might just be what you need! UPF stands for ‘ultraviolet protective factor,' and it's a rating system designed for fabrics and clothing, much like SPF (sun protection factor) is for sunscreen. As a dermatologist, I can't stress enough the importance of sun protection. Over the years, I've seen countless cases of skin damage that could have been prevented with proper UV protection. That's why I'm such a huge advocate for UPF clothing. It simplifies sun protection and makes it accessible for everyone! Tune in to this week's podcast episode with Dr. Virginia Reeder, where we discuss why sun protection matters, whether sunscreen alone is sufficient, and how to determine if your clothing offers adequate sun protection! Key Takeaways: UPF clothing provides superior sun protection compared to regular clothing. The UPF rating system indicates the level of sun protection provided by clothing. Wearing long sleeves and pants in the summer can be comfortable and beneficial for sun protection. There has been a cultural shift towards tanning, but it is important to prioritize sun protection. Be smart about sun exposure to prevent skin damage and skin cancer. Use sunscreen with a broad spectrum and reapply it regularly. Seek shade and physically cover up with clothing, hats, and sunglasses. In This Episode: (4:48) The Importance of Sun Protection and Limitations of Sunscreen (14:10) Understanding the UPF Rating System and Factors for High Sun Protection (16:40) How to choose the right UPF Clothing (22:00) Tanning is the New Tobacco (26:08) Prevention is Key (32:04) Cover Up and Enjoy the Outdoors Get Dr. Mina's free PDF on How to create Healthy Skin Habits here.

Dr. Woodson, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [1:54] Linda, it's great to be back with you. I've heard so many great things on the interview trail about your program and how it's helped pre-meds along the way. I've gotten some great reviews about our episode before, so can't wait to chat with you again. Thank you for the wonderful feedback. To start, can you give us an overview of Tulane Medical's program focusing on its more distinctive aspects and elements? [2:11] Sure, Tulane School of Medicine is right in the heart of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana in the south. Our focus is mainly on really helping our community here in New Orleans. Now we have students that come from all over. The mission of our school is healing communities, and that's what everything about our school is focused on, whether it's curriculum, whether it's extracurricular activities, whether it's research, it's all focused on healing communities and we're trying to do that here in the New Orleans community. It's interesting that you say you're focused on healing communities, not individuals. Normally you think about doctors treating individuals, but this is a little bit different focus. [2:55] When we say healing communities, yes, individuals are part of the community, but as a whole, our goal is to really help the community because communities help themselves. It can't be this big institution that's talking down to the community, talking to individuals, lecturing communities, lecturing individuals about what they need to do. It has to be a partnership, and so it helps that Tulane is really partnering with the community in the community. Our students are living in the community. Our doctors and faculty are living in the community, so they have a vested interest in this. And so yes, individuals are part of the community, but overall we're really trying to focus on healing communities. What's new at Tulane since we last spoke? It's almost exactly two years ago. [3:49] I would say there are a couple of new things that we have going on. It doesn't really pertain per se to the medical school, but it will affect us. In the fall we have a new nursing program that started, and the good thing about that is, once it goes again with our mission of healing communities,

There's something super special about getting to interview someone you knew as a kid. Especially when they've grown up to absolutely crush it in this industry. For me, that's Dr. Britt Gonsoulin, MD, MPH. Dr. Britt and I met playing basketball together on our high school team (I have the oversized jersey pic to prove it :). She went on to play D1 basketball while majoring in Kinesiology & Exercise and Sports Sciences, then continued her education at Tulane University School of Medicine. There, she graduated AOA with a dual doctorate and Public Health masters degree in Health Systems Management. Dr. Britt has collected over 15 years of clinical experience as a Sports Psychiatrist and provides comprehensive in-person and tele-health care from her practice in Bainbridge Island, WA. To put it plainly, her professional resume is so freaking impressive. So much so that I did something I've never done before and invited my MCA students to join us for our interview! I love this episode because my MCA students got a chance to ask their own burning questions like: “How can we help an athlete filter against an outcome-focused parent or coach?” “How you incorporate cognitive behavior therapy with clients of different ages?” “How do you help kids who are afraid to be honest with their coach because of how it might affect their playing time?” “What's the difference between Sports Psychology and Sports Psychiatry?” “When should you enlist the help of a Sports Psychiatrist?” Dr. Britt is so passionate about the psychiatric side of sports, and working alongside people like her is so vital to this industry expanding.

There's something super special about getting to interview someone you knew as a kid. Especially when they've grown up to absolutely crush it in this industry. For me, that's Dr. Britt Gonsoulin, MD, MPH. Dr. Britt and I met playing basketball together on our high school team (I have the oversized jersey pic to prove it :). She went on to play D1 basketball while majoring in Kinesiology & Exercise and Sports Sciences, then continued her education at Tulane University School of Medicine. There, she graduated AOA with a dual doctorate and Public Health masters degree in Health Systems Management. Dr. Britt has collected over 15 years of clinical experience as a Sports Psychiatrist and provides comprehensive in-person and tele-health care from her practice in Bainbridge Island, WA. To put it plainly, her professional resume is so freaking impressive. So much so that I did something I've never done before and invited my MCA students to join us for our interview! I love this episode because my MCA students got a chance to ask their own burning questions like: “How can we help an athlete filter against an outcome-focused parent or coach?” “How you incorporate cognitive behavior therapy with clients of different ages?” “How do you help kids who are afraid to be honest with their coach because of how it might affect their playing time?” “What's the difference between Sports Psychology and Sports Psychiatry?” “When should you enlist the help of a Sports Psychiatrist?” Dr. Britt is so passionate about the psychiatric side of sports, and working alongside people like her is so vital to this industry expanding.

What is the impact of female sex hormones on obesity, diabetes, and vascular dysfunction? In this episode, Deputy Editor Dr. Zam Kassiri (University of Alberta) interviews authors Dr. Bruna Visniauskas and Dr. Minolfa Prieto (both at Tulane University School of Medicine), along with expert Dr. Glen Pyle (IMPART Network at Dalhousie Medicine) about the new study by Visniauskas et al. Using a long-term high fat diet mouse model of type 2 diabetes, the authors found that male mice had higher increases in plasma levels of prorenin and renin soluble prorenin receptor and angiotensin 2, which was also associated with hypertension and carotid artery stiffness, compared to female mice. This led Visniauskas et al. to interrogate a potential causal role of soluble prorenin receptor in development of the diabetes phenotype in the mice fed the high fat diet. Since female mice were less prone to the diabetic phenotype than males, the authors ovariectomized female mice to interrogate the role of estrogen in the development of the diabetes phenotype. Prieto, Visniauskas, and co-authors observed the Type 2 diabetes phenotype in both males and ovariectomized females but not intact females. How does dipping vs. non-dipping hypertension factor in? Will the soluble prorenin receptor emerge as a more reliable biomarker for vascular pathologies related to diabetes? Listen and find out. Bruna Visniauskas, Virginia Reverte, Caleb M.

He completed a residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Tennessee- Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and biomedical engineering and a fellowship in sports medicine at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama.

Who else out there is as excited as I am that we are finally talking about all things menopause? I remember hitting peri-menopause in my 40's and having no clue what was happening and that there was help! Fast forward a little bit from there and I met Dr. Mary Claire Haver who is not only an expert but also on a mission to help women through all phases of menopause. As she says it is a “labor of love and she is here for it!” I am thrilled she is here today to talk with us about taking the lead in our menopause journey. She is changing the game, so get ready to take notes. Today, this one's for you ladies! Let's meet Dr. Mary Claire Haver:As one third of women are currently in some phase of menopause, it is an essential aspect of women's lives, yet so stigmatized and shrouded with shame and steeped in anxiety over aging that many women still don't feel comfortable talking about their menopause journey with friends, family, and most crucially, their doctors. Kept in the dark, menopause becomes more difficult to understand and control, leaving many women to suffer in silence. Dr. Mary Claire Haver is here to change all of that. Recently the Board Certified OB-GYN has set TikTok alight with an unlikely subject---menopause---amassing nearly 2 million followers by posting advice for women going through it. Dr. Haver understands that women's healthcare is indire need of a change. So often, when women talk to their healthcare providers about issues such as weight gain, sleep changes, hot flashes, and mental health issues, they are dismissed with platitudes like "it's just your hormones" or it's "just your age," and given the advice to "eat less and exercise more."The problem has led Dr. Haver to develop The Galveston Diet, a three-pronged lifestyle plan that encourages fuel refocusing, intermittent fasting, and anti-inflammatory nutrition to manage hormonal symptoms, stabilize weight, and revitalize the body as it ages to provide benefits that will last a lifetime.Dr. Haver has always had a passion for learning and a strong work ethic. She is a graduate of Louisiana State University Medical Center, and completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas Medical Branch. In addition to her clinical work, she became an instructor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, has served as a Hospitalist, the Associate Residency Director and Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and is certified in Culinary Medicine by Tulane University School of Medicine.

This season on We Go Boldly we will walk through what holds us back from living our best lives and doing all the things we dream about doing. We are focusing on how we can overcome our fear and doubt, be bolstered by faith, take risks, meet opportunity, and imagine unlimited possibilities. Every week we will work through a different aspect of what it means to both pursue our passions and accomplish the mundane; and how these topics help us to reach for our potential and live our boldest, most honest lives. Our goal this season is to explore what is holding us back, keeping us locked away behind our imagined limitations, and stopping our growth.
