  • The Triangle Method for Metabolic Syndrome

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Gagandeep Singh joins Dr. Michael Koren to discuss his triangle approach, which combines the talents of a medical doctor, a nutritionist, and a trainer to tackle the medications, diets, and exercise changes needed to make a difference in metabolic diseases. Metabolic diseases include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Dr. Singh, who practices in India, explains how this holistic approach has resulted in high success rates, with patients improving their lab numbers, losing weight, and reducing their medications as he "treats to success."

  • Olympic Coverage Was Fragmented, Clinical Research Coverage Is Not

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to contrast the fragmented NBC coverage of the Winter Olympics to the more comprehensive level of attention and care granted by clinical research staff. The doctor expresses woe at the lack of a national "moment" that should have been granted by back-to-back men's and women's hockey victories, caused by weak broadcast coverage. Dr. Koren gives a preview of current and upcoming clinical research studies in the pipeline and explains that research staff dive deep into each participant's individual circumstances, medical history, and needs to make sure the science and the participant receive the attention needed for a good trial and a good participant experience.

  • Dissolving Mysteries Around Electrolytes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Endurance training coach Owen Shott joins cardiologist Michael Koren to discuss electrolytes. The two experts discuss the role of electrolytes in the body and in the commercial marketplace. They review what electrolytes are, the major electrolytes we need, why they may be depleted in some athletes, and how to restore electrolyte balance. They also review major supplement brands in an unbiased, non-sponsored manner, examining electrolyte composition across products and noting that some may be better suited to certain athletes than others. The duo hammers home the importance of listening to your medical and athletic professionals and how important it is to listen to your body. They stress the personalized nature of electrolyte management and how medical conditions like high blood pressure or kidney disease can affect which supplements work for you.

  • Beyond Blood Sugar, How Science Tackles Obesity and Diabetes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Erich Schramm and Dr. Michael Koren lead a presentation on diabetes and obesity in front of a live audience. The doctors talk about the role willpower plays, how ultra-processed foods hijack our brain, and what a healthy diet looks like. They also discuss the myriad signaling molecules in the body that tell us we're hungry or full and when to digest all that food. The doctors also touch on the growing line of medications that are being used to control diabetes and obesity, and how the two diseases play off of each other, which makes breaking the cycle difficult. The doctors close by talking about the surprising role a desert lizard plays in current weight-loss medications, and a sneak preview of other investigational medications on the horizon.

  • Taking the Pressure off of Blood Pressure Medication

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to talk about what the Super Bowl can teach us about medicine. The doctor discusses on how players get two weeks off to prepare (and heal) for the Super Bowl. He then relates this to a growing trend in investigational medicine where pharmaceutical companies are searching for longer-term medications for blood pressure and other conditions that only need to be taken once a month or less. The hope is that this "time off" from taking medicines will allow for better outcomes. Dr. Koren describes a specific investigational study looking at a potential monthly blood pressure medication and explains that the relaxed schedule may take the pressure off patients who take these medications.

  • Lp(a) Goes Beyond “Good” and “Bad” Cholesterol

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. H. Jackson Downey sits down with MedEvidence!™ to give the low-down on keeping your lipoprotein(a) numbers down. Lipoprotein little a, also called Lp(a), is a really, really, really, really, really bad cholesterol that is genetically determined, meaning exercise and diet don't help lower the numbers. Instead, Dr. Downey explains, clinical trials are looking into investigational medications for this bad type of cholesterol. Dr. Downey describes the ins and outs of Lp(a) and how clinical research is our best bet for solutions to this dangerous cholesterol.

  • Turning Complexity Into Care

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to relate his latest reading - the biography of the "father of the atomic bomb," J. Robert Oppenheimer - to medicine. He shares the sentiment that science is the practice of making the complex understandable, and explains that this is also the goal of medicine. The doctor explains the process of medicine as an effort to distill complicated circumstances into comprehensible, actions; on both the individual level and - with clinical trials - on the largest of scales.
