When you think about someone taking a psychedelic drug like magic mushrooms, the first images that come to mind probably don't involve a medical professional in a white coat or any sort of clinical setting. However, the perception of these drugs is changing as researchers and health professionals continue to learn new ways these drugs can treat a variety of mental health conditions. Much of the research has to do with microdosing, or taking such a small dose of a drug that it doesn't produce a “trip.” One of the more commonly microdosed drugs is psilocybin, the naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in “magic mushrooms.” That led our small-but-mighty team at Hyperfocus to wonder, “What could this all mean for ADHD treatment?” So, we looked for someone who might know, and it led us to Dr. Richard A. Friedman. He's a professor, psychiatrist, and director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University's medical school. Richard has also written about his areas of expertise for The New York Times and is a contributing writer at The Atlantic.  On this week's episode of Hyperfocus, he sits down with mental health journalist Rae Jacobson to answer all her questions on microdosing, psychedelics as medicine, and what it could mean for ADHD and more. Related resourcesADHD alternative treatmentADHD treatment without medication: What are my options?Richard's piece on microdosing in The AtlanticTimestamps(02:58) What is microdosing?(10:43) What do we know about ADHD and microdosing?(15:30) How do psychedelics work in the brain?(30:44) Richard's hopes for future research and microdosingFor a transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the episode page on Understood.org.We love hearing from our listeners!

Join us for an enlightening episode of SoundPractice featuring Lisa Kern, MD, MPH, a national expert, distinguished professor of medicine, and associate chief for research at Weill Cornell Medicine. In this episode, we explore Kern's unique career path — from her early fascination with communication as a psychology major at Harvard to her impactful research on healthcare delivery in the United States. Her journey reveals an enduring commitment to understanding and improving the healthcare system, driven by the impact of external factors like insurance and policy on patient care. This episode not only sheds light on the complexities of the American healthcare system but also underscores the importance of inter-professional collaboration and patient engagement in shaping the future of medicine. Key Takeaways: 1. Understanding Healthcare Fragmentation: Kern explains the concept of fragmentation, when patients see multiple providers without coordinated care, and the potential harm caused by a lack of coordination. 2. A Patient's Role in Healthcare Delivery: Fragmentation can lead to communication gaps and poor outcomes, particularly for older adults and minority populations. Kern provides tips for incorporating real-time patient input to enhance care coordination and satisfaction. 3. Inter-Professional Collaboration: Explore proposed policy changes to improve care delivery that focus on value over volume. Kern highlights alternative models for healthcare payment and delivery to better serve patients and reduce provider burnout. 4. The Future of Healthcare Delivery: Identify future challenges and opportunities in healthcare, including the integration of AI. She identifies the importance of ongoing dialogue and proactive measures to shape healthcare to meet the needs and expectations of the American population.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: New research on how dietary fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids like linoleic acid, influence triple-negative breast cancer progression by activating the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of cell growth; role of the FABP5 protein in enhancing cancer cells' sensitivity to omega-6 fats; differences between breast cancer subtypes; broader implications of dietary balance for health.About the guest: John Blenis, PhD is a Professor of Pharmacology at the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. Nikos Koundouros, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in Blenis' lab.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key  Points:mTOR pathway acts as a cellular “brain,” sensing nutrients like amino acids, glucose, and fats to regulate growth. Its dysregulation can drive cancer.High dietary omega-6 fatty acids, like linoleic acid found in seed oils, can fuel triple-negative breast cancer growth by activating mTOR.FABP5, a lipid chaperone protein, is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer, making these tumors more sensitive to omega-6 fats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target.Modern diets with high omega-6 to omega-3 ratios disrupt inflammation balance, unlike historical 1:1 ratios, potentially increasing cancer risk.Genetic variations and cancer subtypes highlight the need for tailored dietary recommendations, as blanket nutrition advice may not suit all patients.While omega-6 fats exacerbate existing triple-negative breast cancer, their role in initiating cancer remains unclear, requiring further study.High omega-6 intake may influence other cancers (e.g., prostate, colon) and chronic diseases like obesity, linked to FABP5 and inflammation.Related episode:M&M 200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon Cancer & Chronic Disease | Tim Yeatman & GaneSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Christopher Mason is a Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine and author of The Next 500 Years: Engineering Life to Reach New Worlds. In the book, he argues that as the only species aware of life's inevitable end, we have a moral duty to preserve it – not just our own, but all life on Earth. To do that, we'll need to radically rethink what it means to be human. Because as things stand, our bodies are far too fragile to survive the journey. Chris lays out an ambitious 500-year plan to reengineer human biology, making us more resilient to space travel and alien environments — and he maps out how we might go about seeding life across the stars. So, is humanity ready to become an interstellar species? And where on Earth – or off it – do we begin? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
