Have you heard about the research conducted by Otto Warburg (Nobel Prize in chemistry, 1931)? If not, you might not know the modern follow up either! How is respiration and fermentation connected to cancer?

The answers and much more coming from a man, who dedicated his life to understanding cancer and how to treat it, without making the patients sicker using radiation or chemotherapy. Professor Seyfried explains in simple terms, how the fermentation of glucose, damage to mitochondria and inflammation are connected in terms of cancer development. He was often labeled as controversial, yet his work is based on solid science and the obvious need for an alternative treatment for cancer patients. We scrutinise together, why this knowledge is either unknown to doctors, or suspiciously frowned upon. In his books, you can find more detailed information about his work and the work of his colleagues.

Guest: Prof. Thomas Seyfried, biologist, Boston College Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences

Did you ever wonder, why we have so many people suffering from depression? Is spirituality just a buzz word these days offering false hopes?

Find out, why Professor Anna Lembke, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and behavioural sciences, Director of addiction medicine at Stanford and a book author, chose to work in the field of psychiatry. She explains very well, how addiction come to be very difficult to deal with. We discuss why some fields in medicine are not cooperating sufficiently. Anna is a wonderful person to talk to and her book "Drug dealer, how doctors were duped, patients got hooked and why is it so hard to stop?" gave me an insight on the huge problem of medical drug use as a "state of art" treatment for any sort of condition. In connection to this she explained, why pain has an intrinsic value, what "toyotisation" of medicine is and how lack of care continuity kills healthcare.

Vegan lifestyle, why should you consider it? What is wrong with our hearts thanks to our jobs? 

Joel is simply a fun guy to talk to, he is an interventional cardiologist and as such fights every day on behalf of a diet, which he considers the best for the heart. In our talk he was as kind as to explain me not only the current state of affairs in terms of dietician's 101, but also where the research stands and what claims can or cannot be trusted.  Bottom line is that the Mediterranean states like Greece and Italy possess healthy nutrition habits, which provides them not only with longevity but with a relatively sickness-free life.  To spice up things he explains how diets influence blood flow, which influences for example sexual arousal ability for both, male and female. And because Joel is not afraid to speak up up about sensitive topics such as body shape relation to health, we discuss the morbidly obese labeled as plus size models, too.

The former rector of the EMC Medical School in Moscow, Professor of Radiology and now a CEO of a radiology center in Moscow, Sergey explains very vividly, how Russia's healthcare is changing in the last few years. One could call it dramatic, but things are improving rapidly in all dimensions included the medical education, clinical excellence and quality of patient care.

Sergey brings together two topics, which for a long time have been separated with dire consequences, medicine and management. He discusses how important the understanding of recruitment, change management and innovation are inside the field of medicine, not at its outskirts. As the former president of European Society of medical Imaging Informatics, he tells a compelling story about how digital imaging helps increase the quality of diagnostics everywhere.

Overall a wonderful talk worth listening to!

Do you have an idea how much muscle mass you loose between the age of 20 and 80?

We all heard at least once in our life, older person uttering the words " I need to take it easy, I am not as fit as I used to be! ". Well, what a lot of the older individuals do not know, is that inactivity causes their muscle to fade. Less muscle, less protection of their bones. That can be fatal! Andrea explains why the intake of protein becomes so vital in the older stages in life. Sarcopenia is the scientific term and was for long time simply accepted as a cost byproduct of ageing. Thanks to researchers like her, we know more today. Additionally, speaking about ageing, Andrea explains what the cellular senescence is and how it is connected to cancer. I also get schooled on the topic of wisdom, which she comprehends in a different way. As a bonus we get to hear about her experience dealing with patients in Australia, compared to patients in Europe, thus showing us some cultural differences.

Luiza Dobre is a young and motivated healthcare entrepreneur, who works relentlessly to revolutionise the communication in healthcare institutions. In this episode we devoted our time to discuss her path from simple interest in healthcare towards the probably most engaged visionary in this segment. Her story pictures the need for perseverance and guts, that are needed in order to lead a start-up such as hers. She managed to work with one of the biggest university hospitals in Switzerland, Inselspital Bern, and others follow pretty quickly. KomedHealth will undoubtedly change the way, doctors, nurses and other professionals exchange information inside a hospital in the next few year and it was an exciting thing to talk to her. Not only should she be an inspiration for other young entrepreneurs, but her work should be acknowledged as a way to actually save lives.
