The ingredient people complain about the most is the single one that'll make the biggest difference in your skin — and no, it's not a retinoid or a fancy peptide. It's your sunscreen.This week we're getting into why SPF is the highest-leverage thing you can do for your skin (prevention is cheaper and easier than reversal), the difference between UVB and the UVA rays nobody talks about, chemical vs. mineral without the fear-mongering, what those "sunscreen in your bloodstream" studies actually found, and the new filter the FDA finally approved in June — what it is, and when you'll actually see it on shelves.No demonizing, no overclaiming. Just the nuance, from a friend who did the research so you don't have to.
Blandy Experimental Farm is turning 100 — and Janet Michael sits down with Anne Marie Chirieleison, director of the Foundation of the State Arboretum, to unpack a century of research, discovery, and community stewardship at the Virginia State Arboretum. From an 1835 enslaved-quarters building that once housed the first researchers to a mysterious pawpaw patch rediscovered decades later, Blandy's history is full of surprises. The conversation digs into how the Foundation actually operates (it's not just UVA money), what a "centennial endowment campaign" is and why unrestricted funds matter so much to nonprofits, and how listeners — at any dollar amount — can be part of Blandy's next 100 years.

Dit jaar is Amsterdam de gaststad van World Pride. Met als hoogtepunt de Canal Parade op zaterdag verandert de stad in één groot feest. Maar achter de regenboogvlaggen en boten schuilt ook een andere realiteit: de druk op de queer gemeenschap neemt toe, in Nederland én daarbuiten. In deze aflevering spreekt Esma Linnemann met muziekverslaggever Pablo Cabenda, presentatrice en schrijfster Teddy Tops en UvA-docent Jesse van Amelsvoort. Over hun ervaringen, en waarom Pride niet alleen een viering is, maar nog altijd een protest. Tegelijkertijd klinkt er ook hoop door: juist in kleine dingen. Zoals patissier Henk Storm, die met regenboogcroissants op zijn eigen manier uit de kast kwam.

Er zijn weinig dingen waar politiek Den Haag het zo over eens is als dit: de regeldruk is te hoog en dat moet veranderen. Toch concludeert consultancybedrijf PWC vandaag in een omvangrijk rapport dat bijna 8 procent van alle banen draait inmiddels om het naleven van regels en dat kost de samenleving bijna 17 miljard euro per jaar. Maar is er een goede manier om die regeldruk te verminderen? Presentator Jan Willem Wesselink bespreekt het met: * Barbara Baarsma, hoogleraar economie aan de UvA, hoofdeconoom van PWC en auteur van dit rapport * Kees Kraaijeveld van denktank De Argumentenfabriek * Paul Schenderling, econoom en oprichter van Postgroei Nederland

In this week's episode of PodcastDX, Lita and Jean Marie break down why sunscreen is about far more than avoiding a bad sunburn—it's everyday cancer prevention. They explain how UV damage happens while driving, walking the dog, or sitting by a window, and why "broad spectrum" protection against both UVA (aging, deeper damage) and UVB (burns) really matters. The episode covers the newly FDA‑approved ingredient bemotrizinol, what SPF numbers actually mean, and why using enough product and reapplying is just as important as what's on the label. Together they walk through commonly missed spots (ears, neck, scalp, feet, around the eyes), the difference between "water resistant" and waterproof, and why sunglasses and winter sunscreen—thanks to reflection from water and snow—belong in a complete sun‑safety routine.
Choosing a college is about far more than rankings, majors, and graduation rates.Lisa Marker-Robbins sits down with Dr. Julia Lapan from the University of Virginia to explore what families should look for in a college experience that helps students build confidence, explore career possibilities, and prepare for life after graduation.In this episode, Lisa and Julia discuss:What separates colleges that produce strong career outcomes from those that leave students to figure it out themselvesWhy self-awareness should come before choosing a major or pursuing internshipsHow to look beyond college rankings and employment statistics when comparing collegesHow UVA's Arts and Sciences College embeds "career ecosystem" design throughout the four-year experience for all studentsKey Takeaways: Career exploration grows through conversations, small experiences, and personal projects or artifacts, not one defining opportunity.Self-awareness should be foundational and built early, guiding choices about majors and internships.Families should look beyond rankings and career outcomes to understand how a college supports career development across campus. Career services matter, but are only one part of the picture.Parents can best support the process by asking thoughtful questions, encouraging exploration, and giving students the confidence to make their own decisions. “It's never too early to begin planning for one's life and career. It is also never too late.” – Julia LapanAbout Julia Lapan: Julia Lapan is the inaugural Executive Director of Career Design & Discovery at the University of Virginia's College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. With more than 20 years of experience in higher education, she previously served as Assistant Dean at UVA's School of Engineering and Applied Science, where she integrated career design into the first-year engineering curriculum. She holds a doctorate and master's degree from UVA and a bachelor's degree in psychology from the College of the Holy Cross.Episode References:Get your questions answered live: https://flourishcoachingco.com/qaLearn more about Launch Career Clarity at https://flourishcoachingco.com/courseSample Birkman Report Available at: https://flourishcoachingco.com/birkmanFortune 100 CEO self-awareness study: https://www.forbes.com/sites/victorlipman/2013/11/18/all-successful-leaders-need-this-quality-self-awareness/#212 How to Choose a College That Delivers Career ROI, with Jeff Selingo: https://flourishcoachingco.com/212Sign up for my free webinar August 5, 2026 at 7:30 PM EST.

The same students who say college costs too much are overwhelmingly saying it was worth it, and that contradiction is the key to the entire public confidence debate. In Gallup-Lumina polling cited in this episode, 93 percent of bachelor's students called their degree a worthwhile investment. The doubt is about price, not the education, and generative AI has raised the stakes for confusing the two. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Christa Acampora, philosopher and Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, where she is leading the integration of AI into the curriculum, about the purpose of liberal arts education in the age of AI. Acampora argues that the purpose of higher education is human formation, making people capable of authoring their own lives and helping to govern a free society, with preparation for good work as part of that purpose rather than a substitute for it. She and McNaughton separate the public's doubts about cost from the question of value, and discuss how UVA is making student formation visible through its first-year learning experience, the Commonplace Book, and an AI Literacy and Action Lab. Topics Covered Why the public's doubts about a degree center on price and debt, a different question from whether the education was worth doing What AI's capacity to produce competent outputs reveals about what higher education has rewarded World Economic Forum survey findings discussed in the episode on redesigning work and finding people with judgment who can adapt Whether institutions that teach students how to think are helping students recognize that learning in themselves UVA's first-year course sequence built around big human questions, the Commonplace Book, and the AI Literacy and Action Lab How students describe their own use of AI and their concerns about evaluating its outputs Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders Reframe the case for higher education around formation, for the individual and for society, rather than transferable skills that machines can now perform. Keep cost and value separate: address cost and price transparency directly, and make the value case with confidence, not apology. Make formation visible early and often through pedagogy and instruments that let students see their own growth. This episode offers perspective for presidents, provosts, and board members on articulating and demonstrating the value of a liberal education as AI capabilities continue to change.

In deze aflevering van De Nieuwe Wereld gaat Ad Verbrugge in gesprek met Jan Latten, voormalig hoofddemograaf aan het CBS en emeritus hoogleraar sociale demografie aan de UvA. Samen bespreken zij een onderwerp dat de toekomst van Nederland fundamenteel zal raken: de naderende 'babycrisis'.Waarom daalt het geboortecijfer onder de autochtone bevolking zo drastisch en wat zijn de effecten van de snelle toename van single-huishoudens en segregatie op de relatiemarkt? Latten waarschuwt voor de sociale en culturele gevolgen van de huidige demografische paradox. Terwijl Nederland kampt met een natuurlijke bevolkingskrimp, groeit het land ongekend hard door migratie. Dit zorgt voor een verschuiving waarbij de seculiere, westerse zelfexpressie in de steden steeds vaker botst met geïmporteerde traditionele en religieuze waarden. Hoe gaat de samenleving om met deze veranderende realiteit en waarom faalt de theorie van wereldwijde secularisering?-----------------Steun DNWMaak het geluid van de Nieuwe Wereld mogelijk.

Tommy Thompson sits down with author and attorney Justin Earley to talk about one of the most underdiagnosed crises of our time, an epidemic of loneliness that most people are living with but can't even name. Justin is the author of The Common Rule, Habits of the Household, and his most recent book Made for People, which makes the case that we were created not just for connection but for deep, covenant friendship. This conversation traces the biblical roots of why friendship matters, what it actually takes to build it, and why one honest hour a week with the right person might be the most life-changing thing you can do.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Justin's unlikely path from English major at UVA to missionary in Shanghai to Georgetown law school and Richmond business attorney, and how that journey gave birth to three books.The collapse Justin experienced in his first year of lawyering, and how that season of anxiety and panic attacks led directly to The Common Rule.Why Justin believes loneliness is one of the most dangerous conditions of our time, one most people are living with but would never self-diagnose.What Genesis reveals about why God made us to be fully known and fully loved alongside other people, not just with him alone.Why having a full network of acquaintances and connections is not the same as friendship, and can sometimes make the loneliness worse.The concept of covenant friendship and its ten ingredients, from vulnerability and honesty to geography, time, and worship.Why vulnerability is the hardest thing to get your heart around, and why scheduling is the hardest thing to actually follow through on.Why one honest hour a week with the right person is all it takes to begin changing your life.Timestamps:(0:00) Intro(0:47) Justin's background and three books(9:19) Anxiety, collapse, and the birth of The Common Rule(17:54) Why Justin wrote Made for People(21:01) The epidemic of loneliness(23:49) The theology of friendship in Genesis(29:06) Ten ingredients of covenant friendship(37:24) One hour a week is enough(41:03) Where to start if you feel aloneResources / Next Steps:Pick up Made for People on Amazon and leave a review to help others find it.Find Justin and all of his books at justinwhitmoreearly.com.Visit TommyThompson.com for more helpful content and resources from Tommy.If you enjoyed this episode, leaving a review helps others find the show.

Dr. Carolyn Lee on Comfort Zones, Identity, and Creating Your Own Path in MedicineChristine welcomes her friend and colleague Dr. Carolyn Lee, MD, PhD, a Yale- and Georgetown-trained dermatologist and Stanford residency graduate now at UVA, who is an epithelial biologist and entrepreneur focused on high-risk skin cancer and developing new anti-cancer therapeutics. Lee shares a childhood anecdote about avoiding the unknown and reflects on how growth happens at the edge of comfort, despite intimidation and failure. They discuss juggling multiple identities and interests, parenting mixed-race children after moving from the diverse Bay Area to Charlottesville, and the importance of maintaining hobbies and “many legs” of identity beyond work and family. Lee describes how being an Asian American woman shaped her experiences later in her career, including stereotypes, feeling “betrayed,” and learning to create her own path without templates, ending with advice: take opinions as opinions and do what you want to do.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:12 Comfort Zone Story03:05 Growth at the Edge03:42 Wearing Many Hats05:54 Keeping Identity Beyond Work07:25 Asian American in Medicine09:10 Stereotypes and Belonging11:47 No More Templates12:40 Mentor Advice and Wrap Up

Professor Margaret Foster Riley talks to admitted students about the Health Law Program at UVA. (University of Virginia School of Law, March 13, 2026)
Matthew Kirschenbaum delivered Rare Book School's 2026 Sol M. and Mary Ann O'Brian Malkin Endowed Lecture, "From text to .txt: Making Material Messes in a Sloppy World," on 6 July 2026. About the Talk: By the turn of the millennium, the word “text” had become a verb. Three-and-a-half years ago, ChatGPT was released into the wild, decisively severing the link between writing and human expression. In 2025, Merriam-Webster's word of the year was “slop.” This talk will offer an attenuated archaeology of what someone we know once called the textual condition. And not to give away the game, but that condition is not good: today, text functions as something much more like a fossil fuel or other extractable resource than a medium for communication and expression. Nonetheless, the talk also asks how we can still make some good old fashioned material messes in a world of slop. Examples will be provided. Refreshments will be served. There may even be a book or two. About the Speaker: Matthew Kirschenbaum rejoined UVA in 2025 as Commonwealth Professor of Artificial Intelligence and English after 25 years at the University of Maryland, where he finished as a Distinguished University Professor. He considers himself a student of texts and textual technologies in all their social and material forms, and his scholarship and teaching have explored literary intersects with printing and bookmaking, archival science, media archaeology, digital humanities, and now artificial intelligence. He is the author of three books, most recently Bitstreams: The Future of Digital Literary Heritage from the University of Pennsylvania Press (2021). His first book, Mechanisms: New Media and the Forensic Imagination (2008) was the winner of multiple awards, including the MLA Prize for a First Book. Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing (2016) enjoyed widespread public media attention. Recent articles have appeared in PMLA, Critical Inquiry, and ELH; and he frequently writes for popular outlets, which have included the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Los Angeles Review of Books, Public Books, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Kirschenbaum is an active member of the Modern Language Association's task force on AI in Research and Teaching, and a member of the teaching faculty at Rare Book School. He has been a Guggenheim and an NEH Fellow, and is a practicing letterpress printer. Current projects includes two books, the first on the political economy of text in the present moment and the second on the weaponization of AI in what some have called a full-blown epistemic crisis. You can find him on Bluesky at @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social.

What if the whole point of your yoga practice was to prepare you to die well? In one of our favorite conversations of the year, Dr. John Campbell joins Harmony Slater and Russell Case for a third time — and goes somewhere we've never gone on the show. John is one of the few Westerners certified to teach Ashtanga by the Mysore lineage, finished the Fourth Series, and holds a PhD in Religion from Columbia. He co-founded the Contemplative Sciences Center at UVA and translates Sanskrit and Tibetan tantric texts with Prof. Robert Thurman. Today he teaches Vajra Yoga at Tibet House US in New York. Together they explore the Bardo — the Tibetan “in-between” of dying and rebirth — and how the same dissolution can be glimpsed through psychedelics, deep meditation, and moments of love or terror. Russell shares what an ayahuasca journey revealed about a lifelong fear of death; John recounts a 24-hour ceremony and the integration that mattered more than the medicine; and Harmony reframes asana as the building of a “diamond body” — a vessel strong enough to hold the energy that practice unlocks. They sit with hard, beautiful questions: Why would an enlightened being choose to be reborn? What is the “clear light mind”? Can you really care for someone without carrying them? And is a strong backbend the goal of yoga — or just the prerequisite? This is philosophy, dark humor, lineage, and tenderness in one sitting.

In this episode, Jon and Adam take a deep dive into one of golf's most feared problems: the shanks. They explain what is actually happening at impact, why many common swing fixes can make the problem worse, and how golfers can use face spray, strike-location practice, and simple constraints to regain control. Adam also breaks down how setup, hand position, body movement, and equipment can influence heel and toe contact—but emphasizes that learning to intentionally move strike around the clubface is often the most effective long-term solution. They also discuss the anxiety these misses can create and why removing emotion, avoiding endless mechanical rabbit holes, and focusing on basic problem-solving can help golfers find their way out.

Brandon Carr helped build Old Dominion Football from the ground up. Now the former Monarch offensive lineman is building football players, leaders and young men as the head coach at Indian River High School.Coach Carr joins Aaron and Mike to pull back the curtain on ODU Football's original era, including the brutal offseason workouts that established the program's standard, the moment the Monarchs realized they belonged, the comeback from 21 points down at JMU and what made ODU's explosive 2011 offense so difficult to stop.Brandon also explains how an aspiring baseball player and future FBI agent discovered his calling as a football coach. He breaks down his relationship-driven coaching philosophy, the importance of consistency and accountability, and how Indian River has created a culture in which players fall in love with the work.The offensive line talk gets deep, too. Brandon discusses how he evaluates young linemen, why fundamentals and athleticism create a true mean streak, the meaning behind “Doing Simple Great” and why he partnered with former UVA and NFL linebacker Eli Harold to develop the next generation of big men in the 757.Plus:• The lessons Brandon learned at Fork Union• Why he chose ODU and believed in Bobby Wilder's vision• What happened inside the locker room during the JMU comeback• The brotherhood that makes offensive line rooms different• Why relationships still matter in the NIL era• His most important advice for recruits: “Love who loves you”• A preview of Indian River's experienced 2026 team• His DMX pregame soundtrack• The former Monarch he would add to Indian River's roster• Why ODU Football's best days are still aheadThis episode is brought to you by the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation.

Sunlight feels harmless until you zoom in far enough to see what it's doing inside a single skin cell. Today we follow that path, from UVA and UVB radiation to DNA damage, then through the built-in systems your body uses to prevent skin cancer in the first place. We keep it plainspoken but accurate, because understanding the biology makes the prevention advice feel a lot less like nagging and a lot more like control.We talk about melanin and why tanning is a defense response, not a health goal, plus the difference between DNA damage and a permanent mutation. Then we meet one of the most important safety players in the story: P53, the protein that can pause cell division for repairs or trigger apoptosis when a cell is too damaged to keep. We also explain why sunburn pain and peeling are signs of real cellular injury, not just a temporary cosmetic annoyance.From there, we compare basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, including why melanoma depth is such a big deal for spread and survival. We cover why most moles never become cancer, what changes are worth acting on, and how to use the ABCDE method and the ugly duckling sign. We also address a persistent myth directly: skin cancer can occur in every skin color, and it may show up in different places like palms, soles, and under nails.We're Ed Delesky, a family medicine doctor, and Nicola Aruffo, a nurse, and we want you to leave with a practical plan: reduce future UV exposure, know what's normal for your skin, and get help when something evolves.

Metro is having a moment. The agency set ridership records over the July 4th weekend, riders are buying up Metro merch, and the agency is a key player in the city's biggest development project in decades. Yes, Metro is cool again, but challenges remain, including an uncertain financial future, extended shutdowns, and fare evaders. Metro General Manager Randy Clarke takes a ride into our studio to discuss it all.Virginia's primary elections are less than a month away, but early voting is already underway. It's been a chaotic election season, with Virginia voters passing a redistricting referendum in April only for courts to halt the effort a month later. The verdict left the district boundaries created in 2021 intact. Locally, the decision also means most primaries are unlikely to be competitive. But that doesn't mean there isn't intrigue statewide. UVA's Center for Politics Larry Sabato joins us to break down what to watch for in next month's primaries and what implications they could have nationwide.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885

Natural Eye Care with Dr. Marc Grossman, Holistic Optometrist
Your eye color can change your day-to-day comfort in sunlight and it can hint at different long-term risks, but the real story is melanin. I'm Dr. Mark Grossman, an integrative medical optometrist and licensed acupuncturist, and I walk through what melanin is, how it functions as a natural pigment inside the eye, and why it acts like an internal shield against harmful light.We connect the science of eye pigment to practical outcomes: why darker eyes often block more UV and reduce internal glare, why lighter eyes can experience more light scatter and photophobia, and what that can mean for macular degeneration risk. We also discuss a noteworthy tradeoff mentioned by the American Academy of Ophthalmology about dark eyes and a slightly higher cataract risk, plus the higher risk of ocular uveal melanoma (a rare eye cancer) associated with lighter irises.From there, we get concrete about natural eye care and prevention. I explain melanin's protective roles like absorbing UVA and UVB radiation, helping stabilize free radicals, and filtering glare across the retina. Then we shift into what you can control today: wearing 100% UV-blocking sunglasses, using a wide-brimmed hat outdoors, and even looking into melanin-based sunglasses, which block 100% of UVA/UVB rays and filter High-Energy Visible (HEV) blue light. Finally, we review nutrients and herbs that may influence our ability to build melanin, including green tea, turmeric, ginseng, lotus flour, fenugreek, and saffron, with a clear-eyed look at what's promising versus what's not yet proven.If you care about eye health, UV protection, and simple habits that support healthy vision, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

David O. McKay is one of the most famous presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But what about his writing and service make him, in the minds of many, the quintessential prophet? And how did his impact on the Church change its trajectory from previous generations?BYU History Professor Brian Q. Cannon, author of the most recent biography of David O McKay, Building a Global Zion: The Life and Vision of David O McKay (Signature Press, 2025) discusses these very questions with host Nicholas Shrum on today's episode of Scholars & Saints. The two examine the various primary sources documenting McKay's life — including the Clare Middlemiss diaries, his navigation of 20th century politics and anti-Mormon sentiment as a missionary and apostle, and, particularly, McKay's expansion of the Church to new peoples around the globe and the transition away from an American Zion to an ethnically and regionally plural religion.Brian Q. Cannon is the Lemuel Hardison Redd, Jr., Chair in Western American History at Brigham Young University, where he focuses on the social history of rural communities in the American West.
John Connaughton is chair of Bain Capital, the Boston-based private equity firm with roughly $225 billion in assets under management. Discussion begins with John's childhood in Baltimore and the pace set by his Irish emigre parents. College at UVA and business school at Harvard followed. John joined Bain in 1989, an early employee in the private equity effort that spun out of the Bain & Co. management consulting firm. He and the hosts take a fast-paced tour through early days at Bain Capital, the mindset of Mitt Romney and other leaders, his ascent in the practice, John's own tenure in leadership, and Bain's determination to remain private even as its peers entered the public market. One constant theme: the pursuit of extraordinary returns on every deal.
On today's BEST OF AWADD RADIO, The United States Men's National Team had an opportunity to take a big step on the world stage against Belgium and instead they reverted, and fell flat on their faces.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we look at the case of Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. and the murders of Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham.This story is not just about how Matthew was eventually caught. It is about the years before that: the college allegations, the DNA that sat without a name attached to it, the missed opportunities, and the systems that treated each warning sign like it belonged in a separate folder.Morgan Harrington disappeared in 2009 after leaving a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia. Years later, UVA student Hannah Graham disappeared after a night out in the same city. DNA evidence eventually connected Matthew to a 2005 Fairfax assault, Morgan's case, and Hannah's case.The question at the center of this episode is not only what Jesse Matthew did. It is how many times he could have been stopped before another woman was harmed.Because predators do not live in folders.This episode discusses sexual assault allegations, abduction, homicide, missing persons cases, violence against women, and institutional failures around campus safety.Jesse Matthew's early background and college football yearsSexual assault allegations at Liberty University and Christopher Newport UniversityThe 2005 Fairfax assault and unmatched DNA profileMorgan Harrington's disappearance after the 2009 Metallica concertThe search for Morgan and the creation of Help Save the Next GirlHannah Graham's 2014 disappearance in CharlottesvilleHow CCTV helped identify Matthew as a suspectThe DNA links between Fairfax, Morgan, and HannahMatthew's arrest in Texas, guilty pleas, and life sentencesThe larger conversation around campus safety, DNA policy, and missed warning signsAfter the main episode, I also cover two current stories:The death of Nateal Campbell, mother of NFL player Calais Campbell, and the charges against her son Ciarre CampbellThe update in Joniah Walker's case after the Milwaukee teen, missing since 2022, was found safeJesse Matthew was eventually convicted in the murders of Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham, but this case raises a bigger question: how many times could he have been stopped before another woman was harmed?This episode looks at the college allegations, the 2005 Fairfax assault, the DNA links, the disappearances of Morgan and Hannah, and the institutional gaps that allowed warning signs to stay separated.Because predators do not live in folders.Content warning: sexual assault allegations, abduction, homicide, missing persons cases, and violence against women.If you made it this far, thank you for sitting with these stories with me.

Fake It Till You Make It? One of the most misunderstood pieces of advice in our culture is the phrase "fake it until you make it." At face value, it sounds dishonest. It sounds like pretending to be something you are not. It sounds like confidence without competence. But after nearly three decades in medicine, I have come to believe there is a deeper truth hiding inside that phrase. Most success in life is not built on pretending. It is built on being willing to step into situations where you are not yet fully prepared, knowing that growth happens only when you are slightly or deeply beyond your comfort zone. If I am being honest, much of my professional life has felt this way, and the depth vacillated based on the context. When I finished my pediatric residency at the University of Virginia, I was 29 years old and knew just enough to realize how much I did not know. Medical school and residency provide an enormous foundation, but they also expose you to the staggering volume of knowledge that exists in the world. And that volume has only skyrocketed in the past 30 years. The farther I traveled in medicine, the more I realized the horizon kept moving, often unattainable. One experience from those early years remains crystal clear, almost like a scar from a wound. I had been asked to give a lecture to the pediatric residents at UVA on electrolyte solutions and exercise physiology. I spent time preparing and thought I knew the material reasonably well. I walked into the room feeling confident. Then the questions started..... and a literature review. Enjoy, Dr. M
Semaglutide Slows Biological Aging A randomized, placebo-controlled study published in Nature Communications found semaglutide slowed biological aging markers by nine percent on the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock in adults living with HIV-associated metabolic disease, with simultaneous improvements across inflammation, heart, kidney, liver, and brain markers. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't a weight loss story. It's a metabolic inflammation story. He explains why the GLP-1 mechanism hitting insulin signaling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory pathways simultaneously is the real finding, and makes the case that your metabolic markers and your aging markers are the same numbers.

Host Dave Asprey explains why twenty years of regulatory lag left American consumers with inferior chemistry while Europe moved on, why he's watching independent absorption data before updating his own stack, and why consistency of use matters more than perfect formulation when sun protection remains one of the most evidence-backed longevity interventions available.

#979: Join us as we sit down with Stacy Salvi – health-tech pioneer, former corporate attorney, and the co-founder & CEO of The90, the first personal sun intelligence system designed to turn invisible light into actionable insight – by transforming how we understand and interact with sunlight. Recognized early on as a visionary in the field, Stacy saw the power of wearables long before they were mainstream, championing them not just as fitness trackers, but as essential tools to help people connect deeply with their own bodies. In this episode, Stacy unpacks the future of skincare and longevity, revealing how sunlight impacts aging at the cellular level, why most people are getting sun exposure wrong, how to track and optimize UVA and UVB exposure, the truth behind vitamin D, and the breakthrough technology empowering people to take control of their skin health, energy, performance, and aging process like never before.
