 Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of healthcare, but understanding where it is genuinely useful and where its limitations remain is increasingly important for both patients and clinicians.

In Part 1 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar speaks with Dr. Ami Bhatt, cardiologist, digital health strategist, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, and Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. Dr. Bhatt works at the intersection of medicine, artificial intelligence, digital health, remote monitoring, and human-centered healthcare.

The conversation begins with where AI is already being used successfully in healthcare, including administrative systems, medical documentation, and tools that may help clinicians navigate increasingly large amounts of medical information. Dr. Bhatt explains how AI-assisted documentation may allow physicians to spend less time focused on a computer screen and more time engaging directly with patients.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Bhatt then explore the question of accuracy and trust in medical AI. They discuss the difference between general artificial intelligence tools and healthcare-specific systems, why individual patients often require context and nuance that technology may not fully capture, and why clinical judgment remains essential when interpreting AI-generated information.

The conversation also examines what trustworthy AI in healthcare really means. Dr. Bhatt discusses issues such as privacy, cybersecurity, HIPAA, transparency, data quality, and the responsibility of clinicians and healthcare systems to critically evaluate AI tools before relying on them in patient care.

Dr. Bhatt also shares her perspective on how medical education is adapting to artificial intelligence. Rather than simply discouraging students and clinicians from using AI, she discusses the importance of learning how to evaluate these tools, recognize where they may be useful, identify where they may fail, and become thoughtful, AI-enabled healthcare professionals.

The discussion then turns to the rapidly growing use of AI by patients seeking health information. Dr. Bhatt shares a personal experience using large language models while waiting for medical care and explains why AI-generated health information can sometimes create unnecessary fear when it is interpreted without the context and judgment of a healthcare professional.

Finally, Dr. Bhatt discusses some of the most promising applications of AI in cardiology, including cardiac imaging, identifying potentially higher-risk cardiovascular findings, prioritizing urgent test results, improving triage, and supporting healthcare teams. She also explains why she does not believe AI will replace radiologists or physicians, but may significantly change how clinicians work and communicate.

You will learn about:

• Where AI is already being used in healthcare
• How AI may improve physician-patient communication
• Why clinical judgment remains important when using AI
• The difference between general AI and healthcare-specific AI tools
• What trustworthy AI may require in medicine
• How privacy, HIPAA, and cybersecurity relate to medical AI
• How medical education may change because of AI
• The risks of relying on AI-generated medical information without clinical context
• How AI may support cardiology and cardiac imaging
• How AI may help prioritize urgent medical findings
• Why AI may change physician workflows without replacing clinicians
• Why human judgment and communication remain central to healthcare

Persistent headaches and migraines can be exhausting, especially when someone feels as though they have already tried everything. For some people, understanding chronic headache pain may require looking at more than symptoms alone and considering factors such as neck function, the nervous system, previous injuries, sleep, movement, stress, mindset, and overall health.

In Part 2 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Dr. Jonathan Taves, a Mayo Clinic-trained Doctor of Physical Therapy, headache specialist, and founder of Novera: Headache Center. Dr. Taves works with people experiencing chronic and complex headache disorders, including migraines, persistent daily headaches, occipital neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and post-traumatic headaches.

The conversation begins with what Dr. Taves commonly sees in patients who have struggled with headaches for years and what may distinguish people who experience meaningful improvement. He discusses the importance of consistency, resilience, and willingness to stay engaged in the treatment process, while also explaining that different headache patterns may require very different approaches.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Taves then explore the relationship between chronic pain, mindset, and the autonomic nervous system. They discuss how persistent pain can contribute to a cycle of stress and heightened nervous-system activation, as well as approaches such as breathing exercises, biofeedback, relaxation, mindfulness, and other strategies that may help support nervous-system regulation.

The conversation also provides an accessible explanation of occipital neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and post-traumatic headaches. Dr. Taves describes how nerve-related pain may feel different from other headache patterns and explains how previous injuries such as car accidents, falls, skiing injuries, or whiplash may affect neck function and potentially contribute to headache symptoms later.

Dr. Taves and Dr. Tovar then discuss approaches beyond medication, including movement, exercise, stretching, sleep hygiene, nutrition, stress reduction, breathing, and overall health. Dr. Taves also explains when medication may still be useful and why it may be most helpful when used as one tool within a broader approach to understanding and managing headache symptoms.

Finally, they discuss patient advocacy and multidisciplinary care, including the importance of working with healthcare providers who continue asking why symptoms are occurring and who are willing to consider multiple possible contributors when headaches persist.

You will learn about:

• Why some chronic headaches may be more difficult to treat
 • How persistent daily headaches can differ from other migraine patterns
 • How stress, mindset, and the nervous system may influence chronic pain
 • How breathing and nervous-system regulation may support pain management
 • What occipital neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia are
 • How previous injuries may contribute to post-traumatic headaches
 • What non-medication approaches may support headache care
 • When migraine medication may still play a useful role
 • Why individualized and multidisciplinary treatment can matter
 • How to better advocate for yourself when headaches remain unresolved

Persistent headaches and migraines can be frustrating, especially when medications, imaging, and repeated medical evaluations have not provided clear answers. Headache disorders are complex, and understanding them may involve looking beyond the location of the pain to consider factors such as the neck, jaw, previous injuries, sleep, stress, and overall health.

In Part 1 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar speaks with Dr. Jonathan Taves, a Mayo Clinic-trained Doctor of Physical Therapy, headache specialist, and founder of Novera: Headache Center. Dr. Taves specializes in chronic and complex headache disorders, including migraines, cervicogenic headaches, occipital neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and post-traumatic headaches.

The conversation begins with why chronic headaches can be so difficult to understand and why some people continue experiencing symptoms even when imaging appears normal or medications have not provided sufficient relief. Dr. Taves explains how pain can sometimes be referred from the neck into the head and discusses why identifying possible contributors to headache pain may require looking beyond symptoms alone.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Taves also explore the anatomy of the upper neck and how the cervical spine, occipital nerves, and trigeminal nerves may interact in the experience of head and facial pain. Dr. Taves describes why mobility in the upper neck can make this area particularly important to evaluate in some people with persistent headaches.

The conversation then moves into Dr. Taves’ three-part approach to evaluating chronic headaches: identifying possible sources of pain, considering developmental or structural factors that may contribute to symptoms, and looking at overall health factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, hormones, and general health. He emphasizes that every person is different and that multiple factors may contribute to an individual’s headache experience.

Finally, Dr. Tovar and Dr. Taves discuss the differences between migraine, tension headache, and cervicogenic headache, why headache classifications can sometimes be confusing, and how hormonal fluctuations may influence a person’s threshold for developing headache symptoms.

You will learn about:

• Why chronic headaches and migraines can be difficult to understand
 • How the neck may contribute to some headache symptoms
ns
 • How previous injuries and neck stress may contribute to headaches
 • Dr. Taves’ three-part framework for evaluating chronic headache concerns
 • How sleep, stress, nutrition, hormones, and general health may influence headache thresholds
 • Why individualized evaluation matters when addressing persistent headaches

Persistent symptoms such as fatigue, digestive changes, sleep problems, hormonal concerns, and changes in hair or skin can sometimes leave people wondering whether there may be a broader pattern behind what they are experiencing. Autoimmune conditions are complex, and understanding them often involves looking at multiple aspects of health rather than focusing on one symptom alone.

In Part 2 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her conversation with Dr. Kevin Smith, DC, functional medicine practitioner, published author, and founder of the Chronic Conditions Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For more than two decades, Dr. Smith’s work has focused on helping people investigate persistent health concerns and explore factors that may contribute to ongoing symptoms.

The conversation begins with autoimmune conditions and the factors Dr. Smith believes may contribute to their development or activation, including stress, nutrition, gut health, inflammation, hormones, blood sugar regulation, environmental exposures, and previous infections. He explains what autoimmune disease means, discusses conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and celiac disease, and describes some of the symptoms he commonly evaluates in people with thyroid-related concerns.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Smith also explore the functional medicine approach to Hashimoto’s, including thyroid antibody testing, broader metabolic laboratory testing, nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress, and individualized treatment considerations. Dr. Smith emphasizes that there is no single dietary or lifestyle approach that is appropriate for everyone and discusses why he believes treatment should be tailored to the individual.

Finally, Dr. Smith offers a simple approach for people who feel overwhelmed about where to begin with nutrition: prioritize more whole foods and reduce convenience foods, highly sugary foods, and ultra-processed foods.

You will learn about:

• What autoimmune disease is and how the immune system can begin attacking the body’s own tissues
 • Why autoimmune conditions may involve more than one contributing factor
 • What Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is and how it relates to hypothyroidism
conflicting health and wellness information online
 • Why research funding and conflicts of interest matter when evaluating scientific studies
 • How to become a more informed consumer of health information
 • Why whole and minimally processed foods can be a simple place to begin when improving nutrition

Persistent symptoms can be frustrating, especially when you have been searching for answers and still do not fully understand why you do not feel well. Chronic health concerns are often complex, and understanding them may require looking at broader patterns and contributing factors rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation.

In Part 1 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar speaks with Dr. Kevin Smith, DC, functional medicine practitioner, published author, and founder of the Chronic Conditions Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For more than two decades, Dr. Smith’s work has focused on helping people investigate persistent health concerns and explore factors that may contribute to ongoing symptoms.

The conversation explores the functional medicine perspective on chronic health concerns and what it means to search for contributing factors rather than focusing exclusively on symptom suppression. Dr. Smith discusses how he approaches metabolic and musculoskeletal concerns, the role of laboratory testing, chronic inflammation, blood sugar regulation, gut health, hormones, stress, and the nervous system.

Dr. Tovar and Dr. Smith also discuss the connection between psychological stress and physical health, how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems influence the body, and practical approaches to nervous system regulation. The conversation then turns to insulin resistance, how insulin functions, dietary patterns, and differing perspectives on factors that may contribute to metabolic dysfunction.

You will learn about:

• Why chronic symptoms may have more than one contributing factor
• What Dr. Kevin Smith means by a root-cause approach to chronic health concerns
• How functional medicine approaches persistent symptoms
• The difference between metabolic and musculoskeletal health concerns
• Why Dr. Smith looks at patterns rather than individual symptoms alone
• How automatic thoughts and emotional states can influence health behaviors
• The connection between stress, mindful eating, and digestion
• What insulin resistance is and why it matters for metabolic health
• How insulin helps regulate glucose and energy
• Why constantly eating throughout the day may affect insulin levels
• Dr. Tovar and Dr. Smith’s perspectives on diet, saturated fat, carbohydrates, and insulin resistance
