June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month. Manny Munoz discussed that and our nation's gun violence epidemic with Dr. Cassandra Crifasi, co-director of the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at Johns Hopkins UniversityAND, some of the greatest in medical breakthroughs these days are being made in Alzheimer's Disease....but, those breakthroughs dont happen without research. I spoke with Dr. Doris Molina-Henry is an Assistant Professor at the USC Keck School of Medicine Alzheimer's Therapeutic Research Institute about the illness and her study.

Our immune system operates like a finely tuned symphony, yet many of us find ourselves out of harmony, vulnerable to persistent infections, autoimmune conditions, and chronic disease. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, a Functional Medicine approach seeks to identify and address the underlying disruptions driving immune imbalance. Central to this dysfunction is compromised gut health, which undermines immune regulation, while mitochondrial impairment and chronic inflammation further erode the body's capacity for resilience and repair. By restoring balance at the root level, we can cultivate a more robust and adaptive immune system. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elroy Vojdani and Dr. Leonard Calabrese, how cleaning up our diets, improving gut health, removing toxins, and decreasing stress can do wonders for our immune systems. Dr. Elroy Vojdani is a pioneer in the field of functional medicine and research and is the founder of Regenera Medical, a concierge functional medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from USC Keck School of Medicine, is a certified Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner. Dr. Vojdani has conducted medical scientific research for decades with more than 25 publications in multiple peer-reviewed journals. He is also world-renowned for his research and development of state-of-the-art lab testing in the field of immunology. He recently authored a book entitled “When Food Bites Back” which discusses the role of food immune reactions in the development of autoimmune disease.  Dr. Leonard Calabrese, is an expert in immunology and rheumatology. In fact, he is a Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and Vice Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases. Dr. Calabrese is the director of the RJ Fasenmyer Center for Clinical Immunology at the Cleveland Clinic and holds joint appointments in the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Wellness Institute. Dr. Calabrese has made significant contributions to science in the fields of chronic viral infections and autoimmunity and vascular inflammatory diseases of the brain. He has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the advancements of immunology and wellness. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Teryn Clarke, MD, a board-certified neurologist and author of the book, “Brain Health Action Plan,” discusses the importance of brain health and how lifestyle choices can impact cognitive function with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi.Dr. Clarke emphasizes the role of foundational health principles in maintaining brain health and shares her personal journey of caring for her mother with Alzheimer's disease. She highlights the connection between high sugar intake, inflammation, insulin resistance, and brain health to advocate for a low-sugar diet and moderate lifestyle changes. She believes that both improve brain health. Additionally, Dr. Clarke discusses the impact of light and circadian rhythm on sleep and offers strategies for optimizing sleep quality. She discusses the importance of sunlight for health, the role of stress and cortisol in brain health, as well as the impact of nutrition and fasting on brain health. She emphasizes the benefits of natural sunlight and the dangers of avoiding it. She also highlights the pro-inflammatory effects of stress and cortisol and the importance of managing stress through breathwork. In terms of nutrition, Dr. Clarke recommends consuming healthy fats, avoiding seed oils and added sugars, and incorporating fasting into one's routine for improved brain health.Key TakeawaysBrain health is influenced by lifestyle choices and can be improved through foundational health principles.High sugar intake, inflammation, and insulin resistance can negatively impact brain health.A low-sugar diet and moderate lifestyle changes can have a significant positive effect on brain health.Exposure to bright sunlight in the morning and avoiding blue light screens at night can help regulate circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality.Supplemental melatonin can be beneficial for sleep and overall health. Sunlight is essential for health and promotes serotonin production which can be converted to melatonin, promoting better sleep.Stress and cortisol have pro-inflammatory effects on the body and can negatively impact brain health. Managing stress through breathwork can help reduce inflammation.A healthy diet for brain health includes consuming healthy fats like avocado, eggs, and fatty fish while avoiding seed oils and added sugars.Intermittent fasting has positive effects on brain health. Starting with a 12-hour fasting window and gradually increasing it can be beneficial.Where to learn more about Teryn Clarke, MDWebsite: https://www.brainhealthactionplan.com/Book: Brain Health Action PlanAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D8QBFZPD?tag=books2read02-20Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/brain-health-action-plan-teryn-clarke/1146118701?ean=9798893163100Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brainhealthactionplan/TikTok: https://x.com/MdTerynBiographical Information on Teryn Clarke, MDDr. Teryn Clarke is a board-certified neurologist.

On a special edition of the BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's editors deliver their takeaways from the debut Grand Rounds conference, which focused on whether biotech can write a more successful playbook for translating from target to product. Weaving together takeaways from the panels, fireside chat and keynote at the conference, the editors assess the tensions between generalizability and fit-for-purpose models, between having control and capturing complexity, and, in human data, between scale and robustness/reliability, particularly for longitudinal readouts. The editors also discuss BioCentury's Q&A with USC Keck School's Patrick Lyden, who explained how high-quality, reproducible preclinical science can be feasible.View full story: https://www.biocentury.com/article/65363100:00 - Introduction02:56 - Generalizability vs. Fit for Purpose10:03 - Control vs. Complexity17:57 - Scale vs. Robustness in Human Data26:25 - Hypothesis-Driven vs. Unbiased Research28:50 - Grand Rounds 2025To submit a question to BioCentury's editors, email the BioCentury This Week team at podcasts@biocentury.com.Reach us by sending a text

Shades of Life: Sublime Joy is in Living by Dr. Mohammad Akmal and Vasundhara RaghavanFifteen-year-old Aditya was like any other teenager—busy in school, horsing around with a brother at home, pushing things around in the kitchen to try out daring recipes of his own, cheering lustily at games of cricket and, generally, being boisterous. His parents had begun to wonder whether he'd ever take life seriously. Would he toughen up to withstand the pressures of the outside world?In the winter of 1996, life suddenly got more serious than anyone had wanted. One day, his mother, Vasundhara, took him to see a doctor for a headache that refused to go away despite over-the-counter pain relievers. The ensuing prognosis revealed that Aditya's kidneys were headed towards complete failure.In this heart-wrenching account, Vasundhara Ramanujan shares more than that worst nightmare of all—a child being afflicted with a life-threatening condition—she relates a story of instinctive courage. She narrates how her family, instead of letting their circumstances devastate them, summoned every emotional and psychological resource to provide a young boy, and themselves, with hope. In their quest for the best cures available, they were guided by many well-wishers, one of them being Dr Mohammad Akmal, who lent his medical expertise to authenticate the treatments outlined in the book.The ultimate purpose of Shades of Life is to prepare others to meet such exigencies of renal failure, and to help them find a life-saving solution.Vasundhara Raghavan retired as general secretary of Mumbai-based Media Research Users Council. She and her husband Srinivas live in Dubai. They have two sons. You can contact the author at v.ramanujan@yahoo.comDr. Mohammad Akmal is a professor of medicine at the USC Keck School of Medicine and has directed its dialysis programme for more than twenty-five yearsOne of USC's reputed and experienced nephrologists, Dr Mohammad Akmal influenced Aditya positively while he pursued his post-doctorate programme in the United States.The doctor's unique approach to treatments and sharing medical information benefited Aditya in managing his health better. Akmal's greatest attribute is his humaneness.

We also talk about the importance Art in healthcare where Dominic will share his experience of creating art from illness which has guided him into a career as an artist. Through various media, with a focus on drawing, painting and performance, Dominic Quagliozzi's work merges his lived experience as a person with chronic illness and disability into art. Using medical materials common to hospitals, clinics and home healthcare; hospital gowns, IV tubing, clinic table tissue paper, to name a few, Quagliozzi hints at the presence of a body past, present and future within health care systems and sick-well-sick-well cycles. By repurposing and re-coding medical materials as art making materials, he explores the emotional and psychological space in those moments of vulnerability, anxiety, fragility and resilience. Parallel to his art practice, Dominic uses art as a method of teaching for medical students and health workers.

The idea of staying fit, young and healthy for longer, is something many of us would love to achieve, but just how possible is it? Dr Robert Lufkin, who has a particular research interest in the  science of longevity discusses the reality. He says the aim is not to live forever, or live longer when we are frail and ill, but to lengthen our healthy lifespan. When we age, the odds of us getting a range of degenerative diseases or life threatening illnesses increase, so the science of anti-aging is really all about discovering why this happens and what we can do to slow or stop these pathways. Lufkin reveals the role that he believes lifestyle, diet and exercise can play. And goes on to review drugs such as Rapamyzin that some people, including him, are now taking in the hope they can keep their bodies healthier for longer. So exactly what is the evidence that we can stave off the perils of aging? Dr Robert Lufkin is currently Adjunct Clinical Professor of Radiology at the USC Keck School of Medicine. He is also Chief of Metabolic Imaging at a large medical network in southern California. Previously, Rob has been president of the society of magnetic resonance imaging, president of the American society of head and neck radiology. In addition to being a practicing physician, he is author of over 200 peer reviewed scientific papers and 14 books.

As the burden of cardiovascular disease increases in the United States, the importance of enhanced screening tools, early risk prediction, and prevention strategies grows. Novel risk scoring methods, including polygenic risk scores (PRS), may help identify patients that benefit from early intervention and risk modification. In this episode, we discuss how a PRS is calculated, how to incorporate a PRS into clinical practice, and current barriers to the equitable implementation of risk scores. In terms of frontiers in clinical genetics we also discuss the burgeoning field of pharmacogenetics and how pharmacogenetics may be used to identify responders and non-responders to certain therapies. Join CardioNerds Dr. Jessie Holtzman (CardioNerds Academy Chief and Chief Resident and soon FIT at UCSF), Dr. Alaa Diab (CardioNerds Academy Fellow and Medicine Resident at GBMC), and student doctor Hirsh Elhence (CardioNerds Academy Intern and medical student at USC Keck School of Medicine) as they discuss frontiers in clinical genetics with Dr. Pradeep Natarajan (Director of Preventive Cardiology, Massachusetts General Hospital).

Pearls - Frontiers in Clinical Genetics in Cardiovascular Prevention For common diseases like coronary artery disease, rare mutations may confer a several-fold increased risk of disease – for instance, in familial hypercholesterolemia, a single rare mutation may confer as much as a three-fold increase in risk of coronary artery disease. However, for most common diseases, the overall cumulative impact of several common genetic variants may be greater than that of a monogenetic trait. Family history is a particularly coarse predictor of CV risk, highlighting the need for polygenic risk scores. In particular, younger patients with borderline cardiovascular risk may benefit from the use of a polygenic risk score in the determination of their overall cardiovascular risk profile. A polygenic risk score (PRS) is a weighted sum of several risk-conferring alleles. The weight assigned to an allele is determined by the strength of the association between the allele and CV disease, as determined by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The data used for genome-wide associated studies in cardiovascular disease have historically included populations primarily of European ancestry. However, more data is being collected from diverse patient cohorts to increase the external validity and broader applicability of such studies. Pharmacogenetic polygenic risk scores may be used to predict drug efficacy and toxicity, as well as to identify biologically plausible drug targets for clinical trial design. Show notes - Frontiers in Clinical Genetics in Cardiovascular Prevention What is a polygenic risk score (PRS)? Monogenic conditions are those in which a variant in a single gene causes a pathological phenotype. For example, familial hypercholesterolemia is often the result of a mutated allele in the LDL receptor gene. In contrast, polygenic risk suggests that there are variants in multiple genes that all confer risk independently, each with a small individual effect size. By aggregating many variants,

"Your symptoms make sense." This is what Dr. Omid Naim tells his patients, many of whom have struggled with chronic mental or physical health issues for years. He also tells them that he thinks they can "get fully better." Dr. Naim's approach to psychiatry turns the medical model inside out by viewing illness through the lens of ecology and empowerment. He takes into consideration the contextual factors that contribute to illness such as childhood trauma, disconnection from community, and lack of meaning, while empowering and inspiring patients to achieve greater health by allowing their nervous systems to do what it is designed for: healing. In this episode, Dr. Naim and I discuss how he works with patients to reorganize their internal stories in order to initiate a journey of holistic healing. Dr. Omid Naim is an integrative psychiatrist and Founder of HOPE Psychiatry. He is also co-founder of La Maida Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rewriting the story of what it means to be healthy through an understanding of trauma and stress via an ecological lens, and to rediscovering our human nature and our innate capacity to heal. Dr. Naim completed medical school at the USC Keck School of Medicine and went on to complete residency at UCSF and a fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. In this episode we cover: Why Dr. Naim's goal is not just managing symptoms, but for patients to "get completely better." The underlying role of early childhood trauma in illness. The role of social factors (i.e., "social determinants of health) in disease and the importance of community. The sickness model versus the empowerment model. Why the "chemical imbalance" theory of mental illness lacks support. The role of food, lifestyle, and natural remedies in supporting the body's natural healing capacity. Why mental health symptoms go down in times of collective crisis. The ecological approach to mental health and why context matters, from family, to community, to society. Why health and resilience are founded on struggle and crisis. The factors of "salutogenesis" (health promotion) versus pathogenesis. Working with our internal stories about illness. Working with trauma and patterns of avoiding emotion and unresolved feelings. The role of meaning and purpose on both an individual and collective level. The hero's journey of making meaning about of our health journey.

Dr. Bendikson is an OB/GYN and a nationally recognized leader in the fertility field. She has gone through fertility testing herself and now counsels clients about family planning decisions like egg freezing and other fertility treatment options. This conversation demystifies the scary and overwhelming aspects of egg freezing and fertility testing. We talk about all the things - fertility age ranges, the quality and number of your eggs, and the technology behind testing. Join us as we talk about how we can become more educated and proactive with our fertility and family planning!   IN THIS EPISODE:   [03:56] About Dr. Bendikson and her passion for fertility awareness. [07:11] The intersection of fertility and culture and navigating difficult conversations around fertility testing. [13:48] The egg freezing process explained and answers to common questions. [27:11] Technological improvements in egg freezing and the difference of embryo freezing.  [33:00] Clarifying what fertility testing means for family planning.  [39:29] Dr. Bendikson's own experience with fertility testing and making decisions based on outliers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Women in their twenties are encouraged to start thinking about their long-term family planning goals. You don't have to make any decisions but it's helpful to consider fertility testing as a way to learn and understand what your options are as you think about having kids in the future.  In the last 15 years, there have been advancements that have made the egg freezing experience easier. Improvements to medications have decreased the length of time that women experience being uncomfortable and it's also limited the amount of days of taking shots. You can't change the number or quality of your eggs. However, the number thing you can do is choose to freeze your eggs earlier rather than later. If you freeze your eggs in your late 20s and then wait to get pregnant in your late 30s, your chances of getting pregnant are that of your late 20 year old self - so that's really important to remember.    Resources:   https://kindbody.com/    Dr. Bendikson Website   https://instagram.com/drkristinbendikson   https://instagram.com/kindbody    BIO:   Dr. Bendikson did her residency training in OB/GYN at Harvard and completed her reproductive endocrine and infertility fellowship training at Cornell. She is a California native, having graduated from UCLA with honors.

Dr. Celina NadelmanThis week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Dr. Celina Nadelman. The two talk about what makes Dr. Nadelman's practice so unique, and how she has made it work for her in ways that offer balance and flexibility that keep her from wanting to retire.  In this episode, we discuss: Why Dr. Nadelman's practice is special, and what makes it is so unique How she started her practice with the aspiration of eliminating miscommunication and diagnostic discrepancies  The mentors and training that have helped her along the way How she learned the business component of private practice, and the obstacles she has come across in its growth The guts it took to forge this road, and why she wanted to carve this out as her professional life Why and how her practice works for her in a way that offers balance and flexibility that keeps her from wanting to retire Dr. Celina Nadelman is a graduate of USC Keck School of Medicine. She lived in Italy for three years, first as an art student, then as a decorative and restorative arts student and neuroscience research fellow at La Sapienza University of Rome. Dr. Celina Nadelman, MD is a board certified cytopathologist, which is a unique kind of pathologist. Her area of expertise is in fine needle aspiration (FNA), which is a biopsy done by a very small needle. Having a biopsy, no matter how small, can be worrisome and stressful. Dr. Nadelman is committed to making her patients feel secure and comfortable. With a background in internal medicine, she has experience working directly with people. She is not just sitting in a lab, like most pathologists, looking at slides. Also, when an FNA is performed and then interpreted by the same person, diagnostic accuracy increases. That means you get correct answers fast. As an undergraduate, Dr. Nadelman studied psychology and studio art. Her background in visual thinking was a perfect match for pathology, which is a visually oriented discipline. She discovered her passion for FNA during her first year of residency at a county hospital. She enjoyed direct patient contact (most pathologists do not see patients), as well as the opportunity to help solve the mystery of whatever ailed patients, from beginning to end. Pathologists are not the only doctors who perform fine needle aspiration biopsies. For instance, an ENT, endocrinologist, surgeon or a radiologist could perform the same biopsy. However, these doctors are not trained to read the slide under the microscope, and thus, cannot make the diagnosis. The sample must be sent to a lab, where a pathologist makes the diagnosis to see whether the lump sampled is cancerous or not. Sometimes, patients must return for another procedure if the specimen is determined not good enough to make a diagnosis. This adds time and money, let alone anxiety, to what could otherwise be a simple procedure. The opportunity to treat patients compassionately, efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively became Dr. Nadelman's main pursuit. With a bedside manner developed during her years as a clinician, Dr. Nadelman views the patient's problem holistically. By meeting the patient personally, doing a focused history and physical exam, and viewing the lesion under an ultrasound, she is in a unique position to put together all this important information in order to formulate a better, faster, more accurate diagnosis. In addition, as a cytopathologist, Dr. Nadelman can do an on-site evaluation of one of the slides, which allows her to see if she has enough material, or if the sample needs to be sent for other tests. This virtually eliminates the need for repeat biopsies. The specimen is then processed in her personal laboratory, where she will read it under a microscope and make a diagnosis. Dr. Nadelman is the one-stop shop for biopsy and diagnosis. And because of this streamlined process, she receives better diagnostic results, as quickly as possible. In addition, as a private practice pathologist, Dr. Nadelman has close relationships with her referring doctors, and will often call them to discuss the findings very soon after taking a first look at the sample. Many times, a preliminary diagnosis can be given just hours after the procedure. This helps to lower patient anxiety and can guide the referring doctor as to what to do next, in a timely fashion. When performed by the right, skilled person, an FNA can be a very powerful tool. Dr. Nadelman's goal is to use that tool in a compassionate, patient-centered environment, while engaging in open and immediate communication with the referring doctor, to give her patients the best care possible. Dr. Nadelman is happily married with three boys. She likes to bake, cook, dance, and travel in her spare time.

If our guest looks familiar, that's probably because you've seen him on The Joe Rogan Experience, HBO, ESPN, CNN, FOX or have read his latest book, Traumatic Brain Injury. Dr. Mark L. Gordon has been a strong advocate of preventive medicine through the optimization of neuroactive and neurosteroids. He was instrumental in increasing the recognition of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a cause of hormonal deficiency in the hallmarked presentation on ESPN's Outside the Lines (2007). His first book, The Clinical Application of Interventional Endocrinology (2008), is recognized by his peers as a dissertation on the standards of care and assessment for Hormone Replacement Medicine.

Today we discuss how a process called Keto-flexing can deliver metabolic health.  Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp. He is the go-to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet. He is known as ‘The Health Detective' because he investigates dysfunction, and educates, not medicates, to bring the body back to normal function. FREE REGISTRATION TO THE 7 DAY EVENT HEALTH LONGEVITY SECRETS: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/a/2147494261/463CbhYu Robert has served as Full Professor at both the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and at the USC Keck School of Medicine.

FREE REGISTRATION TO THE 7 DAY EVENT HEALTH LONGEVITY SECRETS: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/a/2147494261/463CbhYu TAKE HOME POINTS: Keto Flexing is a novel approach to ketogenic nutrition which involves ketosis, fasting, and flexible choices to optimize the health value of this strategy. Ketosis is a normal state in our bodies that we do less and less of because of the American diet, which forces us into the glucose side. So returning to ketosis is not a fad or a particular diet, but it's a way of living. It has health advantages compared to when we burn glucose. For ketogenic diet we add fats and oils. It is best to avoid seed/vegetable oils. They are [3 C's] canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, [3 S's] soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and two others rice bran oil and grapeseed oil. They're very unstable and highly inflammatory. We prefer stable fats, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats such as coconut oil, real olive oil, avocado oil, butter, ghee, duck fat, and lard.  *** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ** Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmd Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/health-longevity-secrets/id1585563694 FREE REGISTRATION TO THE 7 DAY EVENT HEALTH LONGEVITY SECRETS: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/a/2147494261/463CbhYu ---------------------------------------------- Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

The emergency mind is cool under pressure. But how do you get there? For most us, it's not an innate skill. Dan Dworkis MD, PhD lays out the path: graduated pressure, deliberate training, tired moves, and acknowledging the suboptimal. Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher Guest Bio: Dan Dworkis MD, PhD is an emergency physician who is a clinical professor of emergency medicine at USC Keck School of Medicine. He's also host of the Emergency Mind podcast that focuses on helping individuals and teams perform better under pressure and the author of The Emergency Mind: Wiring Your Brain for Performance Under Pressure.  This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter.   We discuss: Deploying psychological countermeasures when you're under stress and dealing with uncertainty [05:40]; Whether the approach to managing pressure is universal for all stressful situations [11:15]; Different modes of thought:  system 1, system 2, and the recognition-primed decision-making model [15:50]; The deliberate path to becoming an expert (beyond just repetition) [20:00]; The value of training with an idea of graduated pressure [21:45]; What it means to borrow pressure from other events to succeed in something that's unrelated [25:50]; The Yerkes–Dodson law [28:45]; Why sangfroid is a good thing and how you do it [35:20]; The path to excellence which goes far beyond mastery of a specific skill [38:30]; How acknowledging the suboptimal nature of a situation when something goes wrong can help you “regroup, recover, and evolve out of any crisis” [41:50]; What does it mean to train your “tired moves” [42:55]; Dan's challenge for the Stimulus audience [52:44]; And more.

In today's episode, we discuss hernias, a common problem facing men.  Nearly 1 million hernia surgeries are performed in the United States each year.  Joining us today to help us better understand the causes and management of hernias is Dr Shirin Towfigh, one of the few surgeons in the United States whose practice is 100% dedicated to the treatment of hernias.  Dr.Towfigh received her Bachelor's degree from UCLA and her Medical Doctorate degree from UC San Diego. She completed her surgical training and research at UCLA. She is Board Certified in General Surgery by the American Board of Surgery. She is an award-winning educator, with experience training and mentoring thousands of medical students, residents, and fellows at the USC Keck School of Medicine, LA County + USC Hospital, the Norris Cancer Center, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

In today's episode, we discuss wrinkles, a topic not too many men talk about but one that a lot of men think about.  How do we know this? A recent study was conducted about the use of Botox, one of the most common treatments for wrinkles.  That study found that in 2019, men underwent nearly half a million botox injections in the US alone  That was nearly a 400% increase as compared to the year 2000.  So while men may not be openly talking about their wrinkles, they certainly appear to be thinking about them.  Joining us today to help us better understand the causes and management of wrinkles is Dr Jasmine Yun,  Dr. Yun is a board-certified and licensed dermatologist who earned her undergraduate degree from UCLA. She then received a joint MD/MBA from the UCLA School of Medicine and the Anderson School of Management at UCLA. She proceeded to complete her dermatology resident at MLK-Harbor and Harbor-UCLA and then completed a dermatopathology fellowship at the Ackerman Academy of Dermatopathology in New York. Dr. Yun serves as a Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at USC Keck School of Medicine where she has devoted much time educating resident physicians and also has spent time participating in medical missions in developing countries.  She also has a private dermatology practice in Los Angeles.SHOW LESS

Top Healthy Foods That Prevent & Treat Autoimmune Disease | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers.Autoimmune diseases are a huge issue, affecting over 80 million Americans. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn's disease, and dozens of others, but they all have one thing in common—the body attacks itself. Conventional medicine uses pharmaceutical drugs to treat autoimmune disease but fails to answer one simple question: Why is the body out of balance to begin with, and how do we help it regain the proper balance? Functional Medicine, on the other hand, applies a personalized approach to treating autoimmune disease providing a map to find the root cause underlying autoimmune disease. On today's episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elroy Vojdani, the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. Upon graduating medical school from the University of Southern California and completing his residency at USC Keck School of Medicine, Dr. V began his career as an Interventional Radiologist, diagnosing and treating complex, late-stage cancers and other extremely debilitating diseases. While this experience gave him unique insights into hospital-based medicine, his desire to stop disease before it reached the point of becoming a chronic illness remained at the core of his desire to practice medicine. Today, he continues in his father's footsteps–pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated. Dr. Vojdani has co-authored over 20 articles in the scientific literature and continues an integral role in research related to autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions. He is also the co-author of a medical textbook entitled Food Associated Autoimmunity. In this episode, we dive into: -Why there is an explosion of autoimmune diseases (7:41) -The connection between food and autoimmune diseases (15:06) -What is leaky gut (18:43) -Foods that damage the gut lining (23:35) -Modern wheat vs. native wheat (27:35)-The three stages of autoimmunity (50:57)-Immunotyping and why it's the next step in personalized medicine (55:10) -How to prevent and treat autoimmune conditions (1:11:06) -How lectins can be connected to certain autoimmune conditions (1:17:25)-Foods that can be healing for autoimmune conditions (1:23:51) -How chronic viral infections can be a gateway for autoimmune conditions (1:33:27) Also mentioned in this episode-The Impact of Functional Medicine on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Inflammatory Arthritis - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33031458/ -Cyrex Labs - Lymphocyte MAP Comprehensive Immunotyping of Lymphocytes - https://www.cyrexlabs.com/CyrexTestsArrays -Vojdani University - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT7uP1RpyHJ6R1BY4V7Km5Q/videosFor more on Dr. Elroy Vojdani you can follow him on Instagram @regeneramedical, on Facebook @regeneramedical, on Twitter @regeneramedical, and through his website https://www.regeneramedical.com/.

Routines may seem boring or outdated. In today's age we love spontaneity, going with the flow, and changing things up. But what if this kind of lifestyle is actually killing our productivity, shortening our lives, and steeling the possibility of success in both the work place and in life?After years of studying Routine, Dr. Angel Iscovich set out to learn how these healthy patterns of life can unlock the the potential in our lives and help us find the longevity, happiness, and make us more productive.In his new book 'Routineology: 'The Art of Routine,' Dr. I shares the lessons he has learned and how we can live a more fulfilled life through creating healthy routines. Throughout the episode we talk about the power of routine, survival and success, time bubbles, how Covid has impacted our daily patterns, finding out the places that your life is disrupted, and much more.Dr. Angel Iscovich, “Dr. I” was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina to survivors from World War II. Growing up in the shadow of this devastating conflict, he and his family struggled financially with little to call their own. As a young immigrant to the United States, a world of opportunity led him to explore Philosophy and Medicine. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of Puget Sound brought him to the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, and post graduate training in Psychiatry, and his interest in Human Behavior; most notably the focus Emergency Medicine. He served as a part-time teacher and mentor as Associate Clinical Professor at USC Keck School of Medicine over a period of ten years at Los Angeles County Medical Center. Interest in leadership, organizational development, and strategy was exercised in the corporate health care sector over many years, as well as in philanthropy, serving most recently as the Chair of Direct Relief, the top-rated charity in the United States. This broad experience affords Dr. I with a unique view into human behavior, aiding in his continual search for meaning and purpose in our lives.LinksBook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510764550/Website: https://www.angeliscovich.com/

I enjoyed an engaging interview with Dr. Albert "Skip" Rizzo, a pioneer and leader in the development and use of Virtual Reality in psychotherapy and other medical applications.  We discussed the history of Virtual Reality Therapy (VRT), and current uses for treating everything from anxiety disorders to autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Rizzo really blew my mind with his newest innovative VRT project -- integrating VRT with psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Rizzo is Director for Medical Virtual Reality at the Institute for Creative Technologies, and Research Professor at USC Davis School of Gerontology and USC Keck School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. He conducts research on the design, development and evaluation of virtual reality (VR) systems targeting the areas of clinical assessment, treatment rehabilitation and resilience. This work spans the domains of psychological, cognitive and motor functioning in both healthy and clinical populations. Dr. Rizzo received the American Psychological Association’s 2010 Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Treatment of Trauma. Rizzo is working with a team that is creating artificially intelligent virtual patients that clinicians can use to practice skills required for challenging clinical interviews and diagnostic assessments. His cognitive work has addressed the use of VR applications to test and train attention, memory, visuospatial abilities and executive function. In the motor domain, he has developed VR game systems to address physical rehabilitation post stroke and traumatic brain injury and for prosthetic use training. He is currently designing VR scenarios to address social and vocational interaction in persons with autistic spectrum disorder. Rizzo is currently examining the use of VR applications for training emotional coping skills with the aim of preparing service members for the stresses of combat.

Zoom fatigue, or burnout resulting from excessive videoconferencing for work, quickly became a staple in the lives of those who have spent the last year working from home. Depending on a variety of factors, the impact of this emerging fatigue can vary from person to person. According to reporting in the Wall Street Journal, some medical experts say the toll of these video tools might be harder on extroverted personalities who prefer socializing in person. Health professionals like Dr. Rita Burke emphasize the need to set aside time for self care in order to cope with new circumstances brought about by the pandemic. Today, we are joined by Dr. Burke to discuss how to maintain motivation and mental energy in the midst of Zoom fatigue. Questions? Call us at 866-893-5722.

David Draghinas is the host of Doctors Unbound, a podcast for and about physicians who are doing extraordinary things inside and outside the medical field. He practices clinical medicine as an anesthesiologist in the Dallas area on top of spending time with his wife and their four children. David is an anesthesiologist in working private practice with Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants in the Dallas area. He is a graduate of the USC Keck School of Medicine who started his career as a U.S. Navy physician in San Diego. David and his wife have four young children.  Social, website, book links: Follow David on Twitter at @ddraghinas.  Learn more about Doctors Unbound at www.doctorsunbound.com.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS As Dr. Dragahinas met more and more physicians, he found that many of them had fascinating stories outside their work in clinical medicine, from founding companies to running for office. He launched Doctors Unbound to share those stories.  More physicians than ever are talking about burnout, which gives physicians more power to adjust their practice or their finances to reduce or eliminate the causes of burnout.  David started in short-term rentals by offering a home they already owned on AirBnB. About nine months in, they felt there was enough demand to purchase another home to market exclusively as a luxury AirBnB. These two homes generate 8 to 10 times as much revenue as standard long-term rentals.  Initially, David planned to develop a long-term rental business, but he found it would be very difficult to cash flow more than $200 per month per unit. Their AirBnBs can cash flow as much as $2,000 per month per unit. But when he purchases a home, David considers its viability both as a short- and a long-term rental in case local regulations change.  David and his wife do due diligence on their guests and share their cell phone numbers with their properties’ neighbors. When guests seem like they might be rowdy or upset neighbors, they leave money on the table rather than jeopardize relationships.  David seeks to practice “work-life harmony” rather than “work-life balance.” He tries to batch his projects by, for example, spending a full day working ahead on Doctors Unbound so he can step away from it for a month.  David and his wife both aim to spend quality one-on-one time with each of their kids at least once per quarter.

Bridgette Wamakima, a fourth year medical student at USC Keck School of Medicine, details her humble beginnings once she and her family emigrated from Kenya to America, and how they had to start from scratch once they arrived. Passionate about women's health, Bridgette was able to stay motivated and continued to persevere once she was faced with the challenges that medical school presents. She admits to possibly dealing with depression at one moment, but that her support system both at school and back at home in New Jersey, was strong enough to help her push through. The importance of community is an overarching theme in this episode, and Bridgette believes this should be one of the main deciding factors when choosing a school to attend. Bridgette also was able to acquire an MBA through USC's dual MD/MBA program, and shares that going to business school gave here the break she needed from medical school to avoid burn out. Lastly, Bridgette explains that it is okay to not have it all figured out and that we should all be patient with ourselves and willing to learn.

Ravi Sharma, the co-founder, and CEO of OOTify (ootify.com) delivers an informative overview of the important work his company is engaged in that seeks to bring quality mental health care to everyone who needs it. Sharma has a wealth of experience in multiple sectors of industry and is a proven leader in business, technology, and investing, but his passion and primary goal is to improve mental health options for everyone. Sharma's background includes his tenure at Western Asset Management Company where his skills in on-boarding quality lenders, drafting underwriting guidelines for investment mandates, loan level due diligence for credit and compliance, and more, helped lift the company to a higher level of success. And in just 3 years at Western Asset Management Company, Sharma grew the loan portfolio to more than $1 billion, targeting double-digit returns. Before his successful time with Western Asset Management Company, Sharma helped to build and then exit several tech companies. He is a strong advocate for mental health and clean technology. Sharma describes OOTify as a mental health marketplace that seeks to match individuals with the best possible providers for their unique needs. OOTify is a community of professionals, mentors and peers focused intently on personal development and helping individuals build healthier relationships. Part of the company name, ‘oot,' is derived from the Hindi language; it means, simply, to ‘lift up,' and OOTify's mission is certainly all about lifting people up. OOTify allows users to connect with mental health professionals, a life coach, or verified mentor, easily and swiftly, via their phone. Sharma describes the many options users can take advantage of on the platform, such as audio, video, or messaging, connecting with trained professionals who can help, right from the comfort of the user's phone. It's on-demand online therapy that seeks to improve lives. Sharma discusses ‘the fabric,' which is his term for the community forum that is a compilation of different threads that is modified by multiple, qualified individuals who provide support. Users can benefit from hearing and reading about others' experiences, engage in Q&A with experienced professionals, and more. Sharma describes how OOTify's powerful mental health technology utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to match mental health providers, life coaches, and other carefully screened professionals to users through their open marketplace. OOTify will assist with the intake process via their AI chatbot, streamline it, and improve the process of delivery of quality mental health care. And Sharma discusses the importance of quality matching, which is why OOTify's intake process is essential. For as Sharma states, while the most educated and celebrated authority on a particular mental illness may seem perfect on paper, credentials, and experience aside, that individual may not be right for everyone because it is critical that the mental healthcare seeker connect or vibe well with their mental health care provider. The healthcare technology advocate discusses the massive amount of feedback he has received from healthcare professionals who appreciate how OOTify is leveraging technology to bring care to individuals. Healthcare professionals acknowledge the power of the OOTify application as it hosts powerful productivity tools such as HIPAA compliant video, audio and messaging, and also assists with billing and scheduling. OOTify stresses however that the AI does not make any care decisions for those seeking help, but rather is leveraged to help providers match with new clients, gain insight via client data metrics, and generally be more efficient overall, so they can spend their time helping people as opposed to doing administrative work.  Sharma details the OOTify rewards program and other ways in which they seek to acknowledge and support those providers who receive exceptional feedback and high ratings from users. He provides information on some notable acknowledgments of their groundbreaking mental health technology work that they have received from respected institutions such as the USC Keck School of Medicine. OOTify partners with prestigious institutions such as the University of Southern California, Loyola Marymount University, and others, as well as many respected businesses and community leaders. And the community is supported by technologists, businesses, many other academic institutions, non-profits, teachers, parents, and nearly everyone who grasps the importance of providing quality mental health care.

Angry Podcast today since we had to reconfigure Garage Band again! Ugh! Should we take the need to reconfigure our tech settings as a metaphor for the reconfiguring of our lives??? Um, we’d rather not. How Hot Was Your Flash? Julia had several hot flashes this week and realized it was because she had not changed her hormone patch when she was supposed to, but once she changed it, she seemed to get back on track. Julia’s considering a job possibly in another country, possibly temporarily. A lot to think about. Sarah had a terrible time at a community meeting this past week. It was way worse than she thought it was going to be. But what came out of it was that she found total clarity about not continuing her volunteer work with that group. It was that bad. And she couldn’t be happier. All our kids seem to be fine. Julia had a milestone: she went to her first Chuck E. Cheese kids’ birthday party - and she survived. And has anyone else noticed that it’s a lot like Vegas??? One benefit of having a Kindergartner is being asked to try to do a cartwheel, which she found she needs more practice. And we now have a new standard of fitness: Cartwheel ready. Bible Study: Chapter 8 from Wisdom of Menopause - Creating Pelvic Health and Power The ladies felt it was somewhat hard to relate to this chapter, as it dealt with fibroids and heavy bleeding, things that have not been issues for them. But it also dealt with the issue of boundaries and the notion of individuation, like when little kids are growing up. Dr. Northrup brings up how women have the Responsibility Gene - and Julia tells a story about Hillary Clinton and how she prepared when she was running for President that illustrates how deep the gene goes in many women. Sarah talks about the notion of the pelvic region being a center of creativity and power. We feel like we’ve been able to have creative outlets in our lives. But we reflect on how little has changed in our society with respect to the balance of power between men and women. Weird things like a guy friend saying he got a “hall pass” to come out and see friends. What is that about? The part of the chapter Sarah felt she could relate to the most was the discussion of the pelvic floor muscles and the need to keep them strengthened. She learned that Kegel exercises were named after a Dr. Kegel, who by the way was at USC Keck School of medicine. Sarah tells about seeing a woman who did a hilarious storyteller performance talking about her “floor man” - she had pelvic floor surgery - and she was very, very funny. But of course you have to strengthen all the muscles around the pelvis, like sacrum and gluteous maximus. Julia has learned to deal with urinary tract infections, something also mentioned in the chapter, and she keeps cranberry pills on hand. The ladies discuss leakage, i.e., bladder incontinence post-pregnancy. Julia feels she has a bit, and Sarah mentions that you can’t jump on a trampoline after having been pregnant - your bladder just can’t take it. Sarah’s dealt with it for years, even before pregnancy. Sarah was fascinated with all the products you can buy to help with leakage that AREN’T diapers, and they freak out over the fact that you can apparently get Botox in your urethra! To stop leakage of course. Cray Cray! The ladies have always been Tampax people. No OB or Diva Cups for us.  Extra Hot Flash Check-in: Sarah had a hot flash, which was not fun, but her heart palpitations have lessened. She thinks it’s probably due to the diet changes she’s made. YAY!
