When Shawn and Melanie welcomed their daughter Piper into the world, they never expected to face a parent's worst nightmare. What should have been a routine delivery turned into a fight for their newborn's life when severe meconium aspiration left Piper unable to breathe on her own. In this raw and emotional conversation, they take us through those terrifying moments in the delivery room, the months spent at UC Davis Medical Center as Piper fought for survival, and the unexpected ways their CrossFit community became an essential lifeline during their darkest hours.Beyond their medical journey, Shawn and Melanie share how their approach to fitness transformed from aesthetic goals to a focus on longevity and functionality—especially after becoming parents. They discuss the intimidation they initially felt about CrossFit, the surprising friendships formed at the gym, and how regular training prepared them mentally and physically to endure their family health crisis.This conversation explores not just physical training, but the profound impact of community when life falls apart. We dive deep into smart training as we age, the importance of recovery, nutrition strategies that support health goals, and how to advocate for yourself in medical settings. Shawn and Melanie's story powerfully illustrates how fitness communities provide far more than just workouts—they offer connection, support, and resilience when we need it most.Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or someone navigating your own health journey, their perspective on balancing intensity with consistency, embracing vulnerability, and finding purpose through movement will inspire you to approach your own training with renewed intention.Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/

The United States Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, declared this week that gun violence in the US is a public health crisis. Dr. Murthy publicly stated, in a 39-page advisory, that the U.S needs to treat gun violence in the same way we have tackled smoking or car crashes. Deaths caused by guns rose to the highest in three decades in 2021. In 2020, firearm-related injuries became the leading cause of death of children and adolescents aged 1-19. Gun-related deaths for youths were higher than car accidents, cancer, and heart disease. To quote Dr. Murthy,  “I want people to understand the full impact of firearm violence in our country, and I want them to see it as a public health issue. I know it's been polarizing and I know it's been politicized, but if we can see it as a public health issue, we can come together and implement a public health solution.” Also, this week marks two years since since the mass shooting at the July 4th parade in Jeremy's hometown of Highland Park, Illinois that killed seven people, and injured many more. Your Doctor Friends decided it was timely to re-release last year's Independence Day episode.

In this episode, Haim discusses his extensive experience providing group and being an early adopter of group therapy in 2006, which lead to his work on the effectiveness of telehealth. He discussed how in 1995 he started an internet forum called GP Listserv which now consists of 400 group therapists from all over the world who join together to discuss group therapy. Haim talked about his group analytic relational approach to therapy and discusses the difference between psychodynamic and relational approaches. He talked about how the research has found clinicians experience four obstacles to online therapy, and discusses the various ways one can address them. He explained that these obstacles include (1) Setting (2) Disembodied Environment (3) Presence and (4) Ignoring the Background in Online Settings. He discusses the body of research surrounding online therapy which is very promising and explains how a meta-analysis concluded that for individual therapy, there is no difference in the results for online vs in person therapy. According to research, the best predictor of success in individual therapy is the therapeutic alliance and goes on to list the three components of the therapeutic alliance which are agreeing on goals, agreeing on tasks, and bonding. While online group therapy is less researched, Haim's experience suggests that it is very effective. He explained how in group therapy, the factor that is most predictive of success is the cohesion of the group, rather than the therapeutic alliance. He goes on to discuss how the preference of modality –such as having an auditory or visual preference– influences one's ability to effectively do online therapy. He talked about how in groups, time, space, and attention are always shared, which can create turmoil for group members. He also discussed how keeping attention can be difficult online because there are more distractions and people may feel more unnoticed, which can promote disengagement in an online group setting. He recommends that small group therapy should consist of group sizes between six and ten people and for people who are not as skilled or experienced, groups should not exceed eight people. In 2018, Haim created an online training process group for therapists, and these groups consist of therapists from all over the world where they discuss their experiences with group therapy and learn how to improve their practice, but also use them to work on their personal issues, thus providing professional and personal growth. Dr. Haim Weinberg is a licensed psychologist in California (PSY 23243) & Israel and has a private practice in Sacramento, California, with more than 40 years of experience. He is also a group analyst and Certified Group Psychotherapist. He is past President of the Israeli Association of Group Psychotherapy and of the Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society, and list-owner of the group psychotherapy professional online discussion forum. Haim was the Academic Vice-President of the Professional School of Psychology in which he created and coordinates an online doctoral program in group psychotherapy and marital therapy. He published books on Internet groups and about Fairy Tales and the Social Unconscious, and co-edited a book about the large group and a series of books about the social unconscious. He is on the clinical faculty of Psychiatry at UC Davis Medical Center and Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association and of the International Group Psychotherapy Association, as well as a Distinguished Fellow of the Israeli Group Psychotherapy Association. He has received several awards including the Harold Bernard Group Psychotherapy Training Award and the Ann Alonso Award for Excellence in Psychodynamic Group Therapy. He also co-edited the books: 1.

Sacramento, California has long been one of America's most racially diverse cities, so it stands to reason that reducing disparities in healthcare delivery is a focus of Dr. David Lubarsky, the CEO for UC Davis Health in Sacramento. “We've realized that health equity can really only be achieved if you actually have the time and resources to get what's needed to make yourself well or keep yourself well,” he tells host Michael Carrese.  With that tight correlation between economics and equity in mind, UC Davis Health leaned into its role as an employer and launched an effort to hire more people from the communities it serves. “We've managed in two years' time to go from having 6% to 20% of our unlicensed workforce from the ten most underserved zip codes in the city.” Lubarsky is also focused on the diversity of learners in the UC Davis School of Medicine, which he also oversees, because it's been well established that patients from historically marginalized groups have better outcomes when their providers look like them. Tune in to learn about the strategies he's pursuing to that end, where he sees AI fitting into healthcare delivery and what's included in the system's historic $7 billion capital building campaign.Mentioned in this episode: UC Davis Health

One of our missions here at the rancho Cordova film office is to organize and put on the California Capital Documentary Film Festival that this year takes place on Saturday, September 29 and Sunday October 1. The film festival screens over 50 films at three screening locations over the two days. This will be the second year of the festival and this year is shaping up to be a great event.     The main screening location is at Rancho Cordova City Hall where we turn the City Council Chambers into a movie theatre. We bring in a giant screen and state of the art projection and sound system. The second screen is also at Rancho Cordova City Hall in the American River Room and the third is at the new RC Youth Center where they also have state of the art screening facilities.   Over the past 2-3 weeks we have been talking to film makers whose films we are screening. On this week's episode I'm delighted to be speaking with Colleen Brown the Director of JOE 238.   JOE238 deals with the sudden death of Sacramento Police Officer Joe Chairez who collapsed while making an arrest, he was rushed to UC Davis Medical Center where tragically he died of a brain aneurism. Joe had always made it clear that if anything happened to him he wanted all his organs donated.   JOE238 looks at who Joe was, his untimely death and his father's, Jess Chairez quest to keep Joe's memory alive and to bring light and awareness to organ donation and how important that is.   I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Coleen about her film and I think you will enjoy hearing this story.

Hugh T Alkemi, host of EntheoRadio, is honored for a second time with Psychedelic Research Renaissance Founding Father Rick Strassman, MD who has been on The Joe Rogan Experience just this month and on Entheoradio about two years ago. It's always a fun time discussing the impact of psychedelics from both a research and a cultural standpoint with Dr Rick. This show includes suggestions and speculations about consciousness and the ongoing hype filled, psychedelic trend in the United States and gets especially intense in the part two of this episode. This is part 1 of 2.Bio for Rick Strassman, MD:Rick Strassman was born in Los Angeles, California in 1952. He attended public schools in southern California's San Fernando Valley and graduated from Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys in 1969. As an undergraduate, he majored in zoology at Pomona College in Claremont California for two years before transferring to Stanford University, where he graduated with departmental honors in biological sciences in 1973. During summers in college, he worked for RedKen Laboratories, developing cosmetics and a line of hair dyes. In addition, he performed laboratory research at Stanford, on the development of the chicken embryo's nervous system. He attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in the Bronx, New York, where he obtained his medical degree with honors in 1977.Dr. Strassman took his internship and general psychiatry residency at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento, and received the Sandoz Award for outstanding graduating resident in 1981. After graduating, he worked for a year in Fairbanks, Alaska in community mental health and private psychiatric practice. From 1982-1983, he obtained fellowship training in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California, San Diego's Veteran's Administration Medical Center. He then served on the clinical faculty in the department of psychiatry at UC Davis Medical Center, before taking a full-time academic position in the department of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque in 1984.At UNM, Dr. Strassman performed clinical research investigating the function of the pineal hormone melatonin in which his research group documented the first known role of melatonin in humans. He also began the first new US government approved clinical research with psychedelic drugs in over twenty years, focusing on DMT and to a lesser extent, psilocybin. He received grant support from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse, as well as from the Scottish Rite Foundation for Schizophrenia Research. Before leaving the University in 1995, he attained the rank of tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry and was awarded the UNM General Clinical Research Center's Research Scientist Award.In 1984, he received lay ordination in a Western Buddhist order, and co-founded, and for several years administered, a lay Buddhist meditation group associated with the same order.

For the next four years, he had a solo private practice in Taos, New Mexico. After two years working near the Navajo Nation in Gallup NM, he returned to northern New Mexico in 2006, where he provided psychiatric services at a mental health center in Espanola. Since mid-2008, he has been writing full-time.Dr. Strassman's “DMT: The Spirit Molecule,” an account of his DMT and psilocybin studies, has sold a quarter-million copies as of mid-2021, and been translated into over a dozen languages, including Mandarin. He co-produced an independent documentary by the same name, which was the most-streamed independent drug documentary on Netflix. He also is the author of “DMT and the Soul of Prophecy,” “Joseph Levy Escapes Death,” and a co-author of “Inner Paths to Outer Space.”He has published over 40 peer-reviewed scientific papers and has served as a reviewer for 20 psychiatric research journals. He has been a consultant to the US Food and Drug Administration, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Veteran's Administration Hospitals, Social Security Administration, and other state and local agencies.

If you are dealing with obesity, you might not know it but your body still has a chance to get rid of your excess weight as soon as possible. Obesity is heavily associated with other comorbidities, and the longer you have it, the harder it gets to treat. This is the reason why doctors suggest weight loss surgery as an option for patients with comorbid conditions and have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or have a BMI between 35 and 40.Bariatric surgery is one of the safest weight loss surgeries that has a record of 250,000 procedures performed each year. It helps patients increase their lifespan from the possible life-threatening weight-related health problems by making changes to their digestive system to help them reduce weight.In today's episode, we've invited Dr. Shusmita Ahmed, Associate Program Director for the General Surgery Residency program at UC Davis Medical Center who obtained her Bariatric Surgery fellowship at the same hospital. She has generously shared her knowledge about bariatric surgery and its benefits, the risks it poses, how patients are prepared for the surgery, and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. She also discussed lifelong lifestyle changes necessary to maintain weight loss, which is essential to preserve the quality of life.Medical practitioners are gifted at educating patients about their chronic conditions and give options on how these can be treated. This episode is worth your time and undivided attention as it will enlighten you about life-saving procedures and lifestyle changes related to obesity.Memorable Quotes:There's a lot of stigmas associated with obesity and we don't want patients to not get treated because they feel stigmatized and that they feel like they're a failure. If they haven't been able to achieve weight loss, that's not the case at all. - Dr. Shusmita AhmedAs primary care, we should spend a lot more time with patients in terms of not only lifestyle modifications but also educate the patients in terms of their options. And I think we fall short in doing that. - D. Jette GabiolaAbout the Guests:Dr. Shusmita Ahmed finished General Surgery at Stanford University and obtained a Bariatric Surgery Fellowship at UC Davis Medical Center.

The United States has more firearms (390 million) than people (325 million), routinely experiences mass shootings, and suffers rates of gun violence far higher than other wealthy countries. California has touted itself as a safer model, with the most gun regulations in the country, the 44th lowest rate of gun violence among the 50 states, and a 9 percent decrease in gun deaths over the last decade, compared to an 18 percent increase nationwide. Has California—with its diverse mix of dense urban centers and rural communities—found strategies that could reduce gun violence around the country? How vulnerable are California's laws and strategies to federal judges bent on rolling back gun controls, including the state's longstanding ban on assault weapons? And what can California—which has seen gun ownership and deaths rise amidst the COVID-19 pandemic—do now and in the future to reduce gun injuries and deaths even further? California Assemblymember Phil Ting, UC Davis Medical Center emergency medicine physician and Violence Prevention Research Program director Dr. Garen J. Wintemute, and Hope and Heal Fund executive director Brian Malte visited Zócalo to examine the most effective ways to keep Californians and Americans safe from one of the leading causes of death in the nation. This Zócalo/California Wellness Foundation event was moderated by Guardian senior reporter Lois Beckett.

Hospitals across the U.S. continue to receive the coronavirus vaccine today. "Reporter's Notebook" anchor David Begnaud describes the emotional moment the vaccine was delivered to California's UC Davis Medical Center.

As most of the state winches down amid a new surge of COVID-19 cases, doctors and scientists are racing to prepare for the largest vaccination campaign in generations. Multiple coronavirus vaccines have been found to be be effective; now the challenge shifts to distribution. We were joined by Dr. Dean Blumberg, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, UC Davis School of Medicine and Acting Chief, Pediatric Infectious Disease Section, UC Davis Medical Center. We posed many questions about the vaccines: what is the two-step process required by many of the vaccines, and why is it necessary? How will the extreme low-temperature storage requirements impact distribution and administration of the vaccine? Should Californians be concerned that the vaccines were produced so quickly? How much will it cost to get the vaccine? Dr. Blumberg answered all of these questions, and many more. Photo credit: NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Bennet Omalu Bennet Ifeakandu Omalu is a Nigerian American physician, forensic pathologist, and neuropathologist who was the first to discover and publish findings of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in American football players while working at the Allegheny County Coroner's Office in Pittsburgh. Bennet Omalu discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in former football players, sparking years of denial from the NFL and the creation of a movie about his life's work. For Omalu, the release of Concussion served as the ultimate vindication for years of hard work, and provided a spotlight for other endeavors. Along with his position as chief medical examiner for San Joaquin County, he serves as president of Bennet Omalu Pathology, as well as associate clinical professor of pathology at UC Davis Medical Center. Omalu has a new book, “Truth Doesn’t Have a Side.” The book further details the link between football, CTE and other diseases caused by brain trauma.

While I'm not the average person who drinks coffee, but a large percentage people who do. You probably crave it in the morning, and wait in long lines just to have it. Coffee is every where. And theres so much information on it from it's benefits to it's nutrition to the love of what it represents. But there's also a lot of bad information though. Here's some things you might have heard about coffee that are actually untrue. 1 Myth: Coffee dehydrates you This is arguably the highest misconception. When waiters would clean up tables of people who ordered coffee and water, they would notice the water glasses would never been touched. The misinformation comes from the biggest ingredient coffee, caffeine. It's a substance that makes you urinate more often. So It's easy to see why people may have thought the more you pee, the more your body needs water. But the thing is - coffee has another big ingredient and that's water. Marie Barone, Registered Dietician at the UC Davis Medical Center, says drinking a few cups a day will not make you thirsty. That's because is has a lot of water in it which is what every human body needs. There actually is no scientific research that proves caffeine filled beverages removes fluids in the digestive system. The water gained from coffee actually replenishes what leaves. PLOS ONE study actually showed that 3 cups of water is on par with cups of coffee in terms of hydration. That diuretic of caffeine that causes you to go to the bathroom more often is actually so little that you'll get immune to it easily. 2 Myth: Coffee helps with sobering up When you're at a party you might have heard coffee helps you with sobriety so you can drive home and avoid breaking the law. Actually coffee makes it harder for you to recognize if you're drunk than actually prevent it. The journal Behavioral Neuroscience, says caffeine intake can actually make you feel fine even when you aren't. It's so important to know this because caffeine and alcohol is a deadly combination that disrupts your judgement more than they are separately. Drinking water is actually the only thing that comes close to sobering up the fastest. As well as eating food that absorbs the digestion of the alcohol and just wait. That's all you really can do. There is no magic solution to it so the more who know this, the better for everyone's safety. 3. Myth: Coffee stunts growth The actual myth can from really good advertising. Postum, a competitor to coffee in creating wheat and molasses ingredients wanted to shift the view of coffee to their brand. It worked tremulously as it scared parents who wouldn't allow their children to drink coffee anymore. It would make them hard to concentrate in school and allow down the growth of their body. The closest in scientific study about caffeine is that they have found correlation in bone mass and calcium absorption. Even the evidence isn't 100% sound from the Harvard Medical School when their only test subjects were old ladies. This may actually just be from their own aging bodies doing what happens when you're reaching a certain age. Not necessarily from caffeine. So that that said, there really isn't any evidence that coffee stunts any kind of children's growth. 4 Myth: one cup of coffee has less caffeine than espresso A shot of expresso to an average size of a coffee cup (which is about 8 oz.) has less of a jolt power. Coffee Chemistry says 65-140mg caffeine is found in 8 oz. black coffee while an average of expresso coffee has around 40mg. So black coffee is actually 2.3x more stronger in caffeine than expresso on average. So when you're ordering an americano, you're ordering it for the flavor, not for the extra caffeine, because there's actually less. So if you want to compare them by the volume, coffee has about 11mg of caffeine average while espresso is 40 mg by 8 oz. But who order a single 8 oz. espresso though? It seems the myth comes from espresso having a darker roast so theres an assumption that darker is stronger in caffeine when thats not true at all. There is no study that correlates with color and caffeine amount. So once you know these things about coffee can you truly protect yourself and make your life better as you consume it every day. Also be able to get back to work even better.

Dr. Rick Strassman was born in Los Angeles, California in 1952 (although presumably he wasn't a doctor at that point, at least not a credentialed one). As an undergraduate, he majored in zoology before transferring to Stanford University, where he graduated with departmental honors in biological sciences in 1973. He attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York, where he obtained his medical degree with honors in 1977. Dr. Strassman took his internship and general psychiatry residency at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento, and received the Sandoz Award for outstanding graduating resident in 1981. After graduating, he worked for a year in Fairbanks, Alaska in community mental health and private psychiatric practice. From 1982-1983, he obtained fellowship training in clinical psychopharmacology research at the University of California, San Diego's Veteran's Administration Medical Center. He then served on the clinical faculty in the department of psychiatry at UC Davis Medical Center, before taking a full-time academic position in the department of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine in Albuquerque in 1984. At UNM, Dr. Strassman performed clinical research investigating the function of the pineal hormone melatonin in which his research group documented the first known role of melatonin in humans. He also began the first new US government approved and funded clinical research with psychedelic drugs in over twenty years. Before leaving the University in 1995, he attained the rank of tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and received the UNM General Clinical Research Center's Research Scientist Award. He has published nearly thirty peer-reviewed scientific papers, and has served as a reviewer for several psychiatric research journals. He has been a consultant to the US Food and Drug Administration, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Veteran's Administration Hospitals, Social Security Administration, and other state and local agencies. In 2007 he founded the Cottonwood Research Foundation, with Steve Barker and Andrew Stone,. From 1996 to 2000, while living in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Dr. Strassman worked in community mental health centers for Washington State in Bellingham and Port Townsend. For the next four years, he had a solo private practice in Taos, New Mexico. After two years working on the edge of the Navajo Reservation in Gallup NM, he returned to northern New Mexico in 2006, where he served at a mental health center in Espanola. Since mid-2008, he has been writing full-time. And has completed THREE books and is working on another seven most likely. He currently is Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.

Per Terry Tempkin (Clinical Project Manager): "UC Davis has received approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB), to begin the observational PRE-CELL study." Terry Tempkin went on to say: "We are excited to begin the project and appreciate everything the Huntington's disease community has done to help this project come to fruition. In addition to Dr. Nolta's scientific achievement, and Dr. Wheelock clinical experience, the HD community played an important role in giving a face to Huntington's disease.  The UC Davis Stem Cell Project Executive Committee is very grateful to all of the people who showed up at CIRM public meetings, and created visibility through their activities to educate CIRM about the importance of funding projects to help find a treatment or a cure for Huntington's disease."  Tonight, our incredible special guest is Terry Tempkin from UC Davis Medical Center, and we will be discussing the latest and exciting news regarding PRE-CELL!

MONDAY, July 23, 2012 - 3:30 pm PST/6:30 pm EST EXCITING NEWS! Dr. Jan Nolta will be here to give us an update on her stem cell clinical trial with PI Dr. Vicki Wheelock at UC Davis Medical Center.

Happy 10th Anniversary to everyone at the HDSA Center of Excellence at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento! Terry Tempkin, Co-Director and Nurse Practitioner extraordinaire will be our incredible special guest this week. She is going to share some of their Center's accomplishments in the last decade and what's planned for the next 10 years. Thank you for 10 awesome years of service for our HDears!

Our special guest tonight is the amazing Lisa Kjer. She is a Master of Social Work for the UC Davis HDSA Center of Excellence in Sacramento, CA and works with 200+ families who come to see the center's dedicated neurologist. Lisa was hooked on social work at a very young age and has devoted her life to the helping professions. In 2001, HDSA named UC Davis a center of excellence, recognizing its expertise in clinical care for Huntington's disease patients. Directed by associate physician Vicki Wheelock and nurse practitioner Teresa Tempkin, the multidisciplinary team also consists of full-time social worker (Lisa Kjer), psychiatrist, physical therapist and genetics counselor. The clinic offers predictive testing, diagnosis and management of symptomatic Huntington's disease, nursing home outreach and community outreach. Patients and families can also participate in clinical trials sponsored by the Huntington Study Group. We will be asking Lisa some very pertinent questions about what to do if we suspect we are affected by HD, are there confidential testing options and what are some of the mental and physical aspects of HD to watch out for? She will explain how the HDSA center of excellence can help our families with information and how she can link us to community resources. She encourages a wonderful support system for all of our HD families. Thank you Lisa for your exemplary work!
