How do forest fires link to climate change? Why does climate pose a national security threat? How can businesses mitigate their carbon footprints?
Mike Smith, co-founder and CEO of Aclymate, joined me to discuss his journey from a Navy career to founding a company focused on helping small-to-medium sized businesses achieve carbon neutrality. The conversation delves into the personal experiences that influenced Mike's transition, the importance of reforestation and carbon markets, the concept of fatal heat, and how climate change acts as a non-traditional threat to national security. Mike also explains decarbonization, offers practical advice for individuals and companies to reduce their carbon footprints, and highlights Aclymate's mission to educate and empower businesses for a sustainable future.

Today, I'm setting aside the usual guest interview format to share my own experiences and insights as a global health podcaster. I announce a brief hiatus for my upcoming wedding (yay!) and tease the exciting lineup for the next season of the podcast! Reflecting on my travels and work in the medical device industry, I discuss the inequities in healthcare access and my drive to explore global health solutions.
Through interviews with over 40 individuals, I've learned that passion and listening are key, not necessarily a health background. Stories of guests like Sean Kappauf and Brooke Sulahian highlight how small moments can inspire significant work in global health. Emphasizing the value of partnerships, I underscore the collaborative nature of the field.

A simple glass of water can change lives.
Sean Kappauf is the inspirational figure behind the non-profit 'One ATTA Time', dedicated to tackling the global water crisis. Venturing from a place of personal apathy to launching a life-changing initiative, Sean takes us through his deeply personal journey that transformed his mission to care into actionable compassion.
Sean shares how a heartwarming connection with a 3-year-old boy named Bryan in El Salvador set the stage for a remarkable transformation, not just in Bryan’s community but in numerous countries across the world. With a focus on the importance of clean water access, Sean explains the innovative use of GIS technology and the life-saving impact of their water filtration systems, proven by comprehensive scientific data and heartfelt community engagement. This episode is not just about water; it's about finding purpose, the power of kindness and competency in leadership, and the magic of serendipity in spreading hope one family at a time.

March is National Nutrition Month. Created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, an annual nutrition education and information campaign is celebrated to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
Since is it National Nutrition Month, I thought I'd rewind back to an eye-opening conversation all about food security and nutrition when it comes to populations in low-resource settings all around the world.
__
Curious about how culture and social determinants shape our food choices? Get ready to shift your perspective on nutrition as we chat with Dr. Lora Iannotti, professor of public health and the pioneering director of the E3 nutrition lab. Our conversation uncovers the sobering reality of global malnutrition issues, from child wasting and stunted growth to obesity. Dr. Iannotti pulls back the curtain, revealing the intricate interplay of socio-cultural factors on our dietary habits and their profound impact on global health.
Dive into the world of community-based research and transition from international aid as we spotlight a case study in Kenya. Learn how an ingenious intervention persuaded fishing households to share their catch with young children, striking a balance between improving nutrition and preserving marine ecosystems. Later, we travel to Madagascar to investigate how local wild foods can be a powerful weapon against malnutrition. We also explore the 'hunger season' and its effects on subsistence farming families. This episode is a riveting exploration of how nutrition science, combined with community engagement, can trigger transformative change.
