121: The Key To Preventing Heart Disease w/ Dr. Steven Masley

Do you ever wake up feeling a sense of anxiety or grief, but have no personal reason to feel that way? As it turns out, we are all connected on a global scale of synchronization through a global information field. Dr. Rollin McCraty has spent his life studying the connection between the heart, mind, body, and energetic fields and is here today to share the results of his research with you. Key Takeaways If you are looking to better understand the resident frequencies of the global coherence, you must:  Understand how the heart communicates with the brain, body, and people around you Accept that globally we are synchronized to each other and the earth  Find energy through magnetic fields and feed the field with positivity and compassion  Gaining Clarity On The Heart’s Coherence with Dr. Rollin McCraty Rollin McCraty, Ph.D. is the research director at the HeartMath Institute and a Florida Atlantic University professor. Dr. McCraty is a psychophysiologist who studies the physiology of emotion. Focused on the mechanisms by which our emotions influence the cognitive process, behavior, health, and the global interconnectivity between people and the Earth’s energetic systems, he is passionate about the heart’s role in health, behavior, performance, and quality of life. The Connection Between The Heart and The Body There are four primary ways in which the heart connects to the body and communicates with the brain. The quality of these neuro signals affects your brain's function and your perceptions of the world. The magnetic fields of our Earth carry this information and can impact our ability to synchronize with each other and the world around us. Heart rate variability, intuition, and field line residences all play a part in these frequencies and can have a huge effect on your experiences in the world. Improving the Global Information Field For The Greater Good Throughout his research, Dr. McCraty has proven the slow wave of global synchronization that is taking place. We are all contributing to the global information field, and Dr. McCraty argues that by feeding this field with positivity and compassion that it is possible to become better in sync with ourselves, our peers, and the world as a whole. By taking self-responsibility for ourselves, we can increase inclusiveness, collaboration, and cooperation to build a healthier and happier global information field. Dr. McCarty is making the deniable undeniable and confirming what many of us intuitively know to be true. Are you ready to align your heart and brain and start feeding into the field positively? Share your thoughts on Dr. McCraty’s research, hypothesis, and predictions with me in the comments section of the episode page.   In This Episode  Discover the four primary ways the heart communicates with the brain and the body (2:21) Take a look at the history of psychophysiology and the current breakthroughs (8:04) Understand how your heart radiates magnetic fields and impacts global coherence (20:28) The connection between tuning forks, field line residences, and magnetic fields (29:02) Learn how we are all globally connected and how you can impact the field by feeding into it positively (34:40)    Quotes “From an energetic perspective, it is very clear that the heart is the big player in our physiology and psychophysiology. Every cell in our body feels that magnetic field, as do other people around us.” (6:10) “What we are really showing is what all the great philosophers and religions all around the planet have been talking about for millennia, which is that the heart is that doorway, if you will, to that deeper part of ourselves.” (16:03) “It is metaphorically like measuring the heart rhythms and brain waves of planet earth. As it turns out, it may not be a metaphor, but ill keep it at that for now.” (23:24) “The only thing that could really explain this is that they were all synchronizing to something external that was everywhere in California, some environmental signal. It turned out to be the time during the magnetic field. Exactly the power of the rhythms that I was talking about earlier that overlap our hearts and brains ” (33:27) “Were finding that people really are synchronizing globally, which really is amazing. We like to talk about ‘on some level we are all connected’, I hear that all the time. And what these studies are showing is that we really are, and this is the level are connected at.” (35:49)   Links HeartMath Institute Website Heart Intelligence by Doc Childre, Deborah Rozman, Howard Martin, and Rollin McCraty Science of the Heart: Volume 2 by Dr. Rollin McCraty mWave Technology Inner Balance Device Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook | Instagram

Ocean Robbins was born into the famous Baskin Robbins Family.

Now the CEO of the 500,000+ member Food Revolution Network, author, speaker, facilitator, father, dancer, and movement builder, Ocean is passionate about the necessary food revolution to regain the health of our nation. Key Takeaways  Toxic chemicals that are routinely found in modern food are scientifically proven to contribute to disease, illness, and suffering You can simply enter the kingdom of vital, healthy living by eating foods which increase your health and overall longevity It is possible to promote healthy food as the norm and the foundation for health, and it can actually be cheaper than toxic foods are now  Getting Your Health Back Through Whole Foods with Ocean Robbins Ocean believes that there are two most important days of your life, the day you are born and the day you discover why you were born. His calling is to help others regain their health through healthy, delicious, sustainable food for everyone. Eating healthy is not just enough for Ocean; he wants to spread this knowledge to prevent suffering and increase the human population’s longevity. Systemically Changing The Way We View Food For The Greater Good Everything from changing government subsidies around food policies, to the way our medical system is trained to treat disease rather than create a foundation of health, and the healing power of gratitude is on the table today as we dive into the passionate work of Ocean Robbins. By eating with consciousness, bringing joy to everything in our lives, especially food, and highlighting the four pillars for a healthy life, it is possible to stand up, make a change, and get informed about the longterm effects of the foods you are putting into your body. How To Start A Food Revolution Through Love Despite a person’s political perspectives, ideologies, or faith backgrounds, the human body generally responds to food in pretty predictable ways. Ocean views this as an opportunity to work with people from all nationalities and value systems to bring together a common denominator, healthy eating. Expressing love through food is Oceans’ answer to the toxic food system that is so prevalent in our country and the world, and he is calling upon you to join him. Do you feel passionate to call the population to action in regards to the disease-causing foods our society is eating? Are you ready to join the Food Revolution?

And I want to help more people take their chances without even having to be on death’s door.” (5:30) “To eat real, whole, natural, sustainable food, is actually revolutionary. It actually takes being radical and transforming the norms. Because our convenience foods, our fast foods, our school foods, our hospital foods, are all serving what quite frankly is food-like substances.” (11:10) “Wherever you stand and whatever your health history is it's going to have an impact on what’s right for you. But broadly speaking, in the broad terms of things, we can see that eating a diet that is based around more plants and more whole foods is going to be beneficial for the vast majority of humanity.” (22:02) “I think love is a great place to start. Because when we love, we have a reason to live. And when we have a reason to live, then suddenly we care for ourselves, and we care for our loved ones, and we care for life.” (28:24) “Everybody deserves love, that’s the bottom line. And with food is a wonderful place to express that, because everybody eats. And so I get the beautiful opportunity in my work to share about healthy eating with everybody.”(32:37) “I want to see a world where food is taken seriously, where the food industry takes health seriously, and where science guides the choices that people are encouraged to make around food, not industry profits.” (43:17)   Links Food Revolution Network Website Diet for a New America by John Robbins Find the full show notes for this episode here Keep up with all things Love Is Medicine Follow Razi on Facebook | Instagram

All of those things weigh heavy on our hearts and are contributing to heart disease. And it is really part of the game, and a lot of us are not addressing those issues.” (13:04) “When somebody goes through that experience of a change of heart, that’s when I know they are going to be okay. Because then they are able to continue all of those things we have been working on because they are then committed.” (19:12) “If I ask them what their brain is telling them, I get a totally different list than if I ask them what their heart is telling them.

Episode 905: Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for Influenza

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls: Epinephrine is essential in the treatment of anaphylaxis, but is epinephrine dangerous from a cardiovascular perspective? A 2024 study in the Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open sought to answer this question. Methods:   Retrospective observational study at a Tennessee quaternary care academic ED that analyzed ED visits from 2017 to 2021 involving anaphylaxis treated with IM epinephrine.   The primary outcome was cardiotoxicity   Results:   Out of 338 patients, 16 (4.7%) experienced cardiotoxicity. Events included ischemic EKG changes (2.4%), elevated troponin (1.8%), atrial arrhythmias (1.5%), ventricular arrhythmia (0.3%), and depressed ejection fraction (0.3%).   Affected patients were older, had more comorbidities, and often received multiple epinephrine doses.   Bottom line:   All adults presenting with anaphylaxis should be rapidly treated with epinephrine but monitored closely for cardiotoxicity, especially in patients with a history of hypertension and those who receive multiple doses.   These results are supported by a 2017 study that found that 9% (4/44) of older patients who received epinephrine for anaphylaxis had cardiovascular complications.

Episode 904: Cardiovascular Risks of Epinephrine

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls:   Opioid overdoses that are reversed with naloxone (Narcan), a mu-opioid antagonist, can precipitate acute withdrawal in some patients   Treatment of opioid use disorder with buprenorphine can also precipitate withdrawal   Opioid withdrawal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and agitation   Buprenorphine works as a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, which may alleviate withdrawal symptoms    The preferred dose of buprenorphine is 16 mg    Treatment of buprenorphine-induced opioid withdrawal is additional buprenorphine   Adjunctive treatments may be used for other opioid withdrawal symptoms    Nausea with ondansetron   Diarrhea with loperamide   Agitation with hydroxyzine    References 1.

Episode 903: Treating Precipitated Opioid Withdrawal

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: How do you differentiate between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis? Use the acronym VIBE to look for signs of being decompensated.   V-Volume    Cirrhosis can cause volume overload through a variety of mechanisms such as by increasing pressure in the portal vein system and the decreased production of albumin.   Look for pulmonary edema (dyspnea, orthopnea, wheezing/crackles, coughing up frothy pink sputum, etc.) or a tense abdomen.    I-Infection    The ascitic fluid can become infected with bacteria, a complication called Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP).   Look for abdominal pain, fever, hypotension, and tachycardia. Diagnosis is made with ascitic fluid cell analyses (polymorphonuclear neutrophils >250/mm3)    B-Bleeding    Another consequence of increased portal pressure is that blood backs up into smaller blood vessels, including those in the esophagus.   Over time, this increased pressure can result in the development of dilated, fragile veins called esophageal varices, which are prone to bleeding.   Look for hematemesis, melena, lightheadedness, and pale skin.     E-Encephalopathy    A failing liver also does not clear toxins which can affect the brain.   Look for asterixis (flapping motion of the hands when you tell the patient to hold their hands up like they are going to stop a bus)    Other complications to look out for.

Episode 902: Liver Failure and Cirrhosis

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls:   Lorazepam (Ativan) is dosed at 0.1 mg/kg up to a maximum of 4 mg in status epilepticus    Some ED protocols only give 2 mg initially    The maximum recommended dose of levetiracetam (Keppra) is 60 mg/kg or 4.5 g   In one retrospective study, only 50% of patients received the correct dose of lorazepam    For levetiracetam, it was only 35% of patients    Underdosing leads to complications    Higher rates of intubations   More likely to progress to refractory status epilepticus    References 1.

Mental Health

Milutin Kostić is a practicing Serbian psychiatrist trained in the tradition of biological psychiatry who has become a new figure in the critical psychiatry movement. Affiliated with the Institute of Mental Health in Belgrade, Serbia, he is currently a Fulbright scholar working alongside Lisa Cosgrove in Boston to challenge established norms in psychiatry and psychology. Kostić utilizes his extensive training and traditional research methods to question the fundamental assumptions of his field. For example, Kostić critiques the flawed premises of genetics research in depression, arguing that it overlooks the heterogeneity of human experience. He uses analogies to illustrate how psychiatry often pathologizes normal human emotions, drawing parallels to how medical conditions are misunderstood when the context is ignored, like trying to treat the lungs alone in a society overrun by air pollution. We will also discuss his  latest study, which emphasizes the benefits of de-medicalizing experiences of depression rather than quickly resorting to diagnoses and subsequent treatments with medication or psychotherapy. His research also sheds light on the effects of biological narratives on patient perspectives, the complexities of drug dependency, and the profound impact of psychiatric diagnoses on individual identity. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Leaving Biological Psychiatry Behind - An Interview With Rodrigo Nardi

Arthur Kleinman is a towering figure in psychiatry and medical anthropology. He has made substantial contributions to both fields over his illustrious career spanning more than five decades. As a Professor of Medical Anthropology at Harvard University's Department of Global Health and Social Medicine and a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Kleinman has profoundly influenced how medical professionals understand the interplay between culture, illness, and healing. His extensive body of work includes seminal books and numerous articles that have become foundational texts in medical anthropology. These writings explore the crucial role of personal and cultural narratives in shaping medical practices and patient care. In recent years, Kleinman has increasingly focused on critiquing the prevailing practices within psychiatry, particularly the  over-medicalization of mental health issues and the  neglect of broader social and personal contexts that significantly impact patient care. His critiques advocate for a more nuanced and compassionate approach to psychiatry, one that recognizes the importance of individual patient stories and the socio-cultural dimensions of mental health. In this interview, Kleinman explores critical issues facing modern healthcare. He discusses the often-overlooked narrative of patient experiences, critiques the mechanistic approaches that dominate U.S. healthcare, and offers insightful reflections on the global mental health movement. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Context and Care vs Isolate and Control - An Interview with Arthur Kleinman

On the MIA podcast this week we turn our attention to conflicts of interest (COIs) and new research from the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Mad in America has  previously examined the problems with conflicts of interest in research but this time we extend that to look at the potential effect of COIs on diagnostic tools such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Joining me today are Lisa Cosgrove and Brian Piper, two of the authors of a paper which appeared in the BMJ. The paper is entitled “Undisclosed Financial Conflicts of Interest in the DSM-5 TR: Cross-Sectional Analysis,” and it was published in January 2024. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Undisclosed Financial Conflicts of Interest in the DSM-5: An interview with Lisa Cosgrove and Brian Piper

Swapnil Gupta is an Associate Professor and Medical Director of Ambulatory Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital. She was trained as a psychiatrist in India and the United States, at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Yale University, and PGI Chandigarh in India. She is known for her work on deprescribing from and discontinuation of psychiatric drugs. Dr. Gupta’s career began with research on the role of the endocannabinoid system in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia as an academic psychiatrist. Her subsequent scholarship has focused on applying deprescribing, the systematic reduction of unnecessary medications, to psychiatry by rooting it in the principles of recovery-oriented care. She has authored several peer-reviewed papers on deprescribing and co-authored a  book with Rebecca Miller and John Cahill. She is an active member of two organizations that aim to enhance stakeholder engagement in psychiatric research. She is also a part of the editorial board of the Community Mental Health Journal. Currently, she is working on creating educational resources to help people discontinue psychiatric medications and gathering information on the knowledge and opinions of psychiatrists regarding the discontinuation of such drugs. In this interview, we discuss deprescribing from psychiatric drugs, the difficult decisions faced by patients, the importance of psychosocial support during withdrawal, and how deprescribing is central to recovery-oriented practices such as shared decision and patient choice. We will also tackle the complex issue of whether the recurrence of symptoms once a drug is tapered is a mark of relapse or withdrawal caused by the psychiatric medication. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Rumors and Recalls: Responding to Negative Reports about Veterinary Products

What happens if you find out that one of your colleagues is on OnlyFans? This week, we want to talk about the exciting world of online entrepreneurship and what you should do or how you should handle all the little questions we have if you find out that one of your teammates is on the Internet in a very intimate way. The Veterinary Viewfinder is the podcast that tackles the toughest topics in veterinary medicine. I believe this qualifies, Viewfinders!

When we started this podcast over seven and a half years ago, a tough topic that we covered on the Viewfinder in the early days was, what do you do about tattoos? Should they be visible, or should they be hidden, and do you have a policy? Well, you might have more than a tattoo to worry about these days. We want to discuss what happens if you find out if one of your colleagues, employees, coworkers, teammates, or colleagues is on OnlyFans or a similar intimate or adult website.

We want to discuss communication strategies you may want to consider ahead of time because you’ll likely encounter some variation of this scenario in the near future. 

Join hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, MPA, as they share their own experiences with employees and colleagues who have worked in the adult industry and tips to prepare your clinic.

Mindfulness, meditasjon, stressmestring og en vei mot ro uten å måtte bli en bedre versjon av seg selv.
Lege Morten Finckenhagen opplevde alle foreldres mareritt, to ganger. Han mistet begge sønnene sine på under et år. I alt det vanskelige fant han en vei mot et godt liv igjen, og i dag snakker vi om en av faktorene som hjalp- mindfulness. 
Vi går inn på: Hva er mindfulness? Hva skiller metoden fra andre veier til stressmestring og selvutvikling? Hvilken effekter har det? Er mindfulness en mirakelkur mot alle slags plager og problemer?  Hva skjer når man praktiserer mindfulness over tid? Hvilke effekter ser Morten hos sine kursdeltakere?  Hvordan komme i gang?
Morten Finckenhagen er overlege i Direktoratet for medisinske produkter og Enhet for riktig legemiddelbruk, han er spesialist i allmennmedisin og har tidligere jobbet som fastlege på Bekkestua i Bærum i 30 år. Han har tidligere jobbet som universitetslektor ved Universitet i Oslo samt jobbet som lege for leger gjennom Legeforeningen, han er også videreutdannet som Idrettslege og mindfulness-instruktør. 
En av Mortens kursdeltakere kom med følgende tilbakemelding som oppsummerer denne episoden veldig godt: “Jeg opplever at det er veldig befriende at mindfulness ikke handler om at jeg må bli en bedre versjon av meg selv, men at jeg bare skal legge merke til det som er.”

#152. Å få det bra uten å måtte bli en bedre versjon av seg selv. Mindfulness, meditasjon og stressmestring. Med lege Morten Finckenhagen

I løpet av noen få tiår har evnen vår til å holde oppmerksomheten og konsentrasjonen blitt betydelig redusert. I 2004 klarte vi i snitt å fokusere på én oppgave i cirka to og et halvt minutt før vi ble distrahert. I 2022 hadde antall sekunder vi klarer å holde oppmerksomheten vår gått ned til bare 45 sekunder. 
Ukens gjest er lege Ole Petter Hjelle, og i dag snakker vi om fokus. Hva er oppmerksomhet og hva skjer når den blir borte? Hva er hovedfaktorene som påvirker oppmerksomheten negativt? Og hva kan vi gjøre for å øke konsentrasjonsevnen vår? Dette og mye annet dykker vi inn i her.

#98 We All Have Feelings

I have come to realize that figuring out your optimal study method comes with trial and error. Everyone learns in a different way so it’s never “one size fits all”.  In today’s episode, Sasha explains her study styles that have helped her through her whole nursing school journey. Try something new to see if it can help you too! Take a look on Facebook and Instagram for a few examples of her notes and flashcards. Grab the coloring book here and extra resources for studying!  Stick around to see what new perspectives come into play as Sasha builds her own path to becoming a nurse and the people she meets along the way. 



#97 Study Trials

Becoming a nurse is our goal, that’s why we're all here! Have you thought about what obstacles you will face along the way?  In today’s episode, we will get into asking ourselves, “Am I okay with this?”. We will dip our toes into non traditional nursing careers,  shadowing, and what to do to stand out to potential employers in a sea of new grads.
