Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to explain how having a conversation with a medical professional who is tuned into your personal situation can help you understand the confusing and sometimes counterintuitive world of medical information. Cardiologist Dr. Koren uses the examples of coronary calcium scores and total cholesterol levels, which must be interpreted in the context of individual factors, such as age and HDL/LDL ratio. They then discuss clinical research and how the experience in a clinical research setting is one of shared knowledge, where medical professionals take the time to explain everything you need to know about your health.

Dr. Michael Koren Joins Kevin Geddings to discuss how the current political situation in Washington, D.C. is interfering with clinical research. They discuss the Vaxart trial, that is looking at the next generation of oral COVID vaccines, and how it has been affected by the Trump administration's inconsistent orders regarding vaccines. Dr. Koren points out that the Vaxart trial doesn't actually use mRNA and is poised to be a solution beyond this technology, but that the administration has stopped (at least temporarily) this research anyway.
