Anyone who has struggled with balancing his or her own needs and desires with those of the "other" person will benefit from Nancy Johnston's sensible, easy-to-follow method for changing the course of one's relationships. Disentangle combines psychoeducation, personal anecdotes, clinical case vignettes, and skills-building exercises. Johnston describes how to turn this self-destructive cycle around with self-assessments and experiential exercises designed to address essential aspects of self-awareness, distortions in thinking, communication style and tools, and spirituality. "Disentangling" is the process of creating enough emotional space between oneself and another person in order to better see the realities of any relationship and make healthier conscious decisions about it.  She talks with Dr. Roizen this episode about how she came to write the book, who this book is for, and how to disentangle if necessary.  Want better health and nutrition?

For most people affected by a stroke, a flood of questions come afterward: How did this happen? What do we do next? What are our options? How long will recovery take? Am I at risk for another stroke? 

To answer these questions and so many others, stroke specialist Dr. Amytis Towfighi joins us this episode. She is an associate professor of neurology at the James and Dorothy Williams Stroke Scholar at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.

A Mount Sinai research team has identified one of the mechanisms that establish the skin as a protective barrier, a breakthrough that is critical to understanding and treating common skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis. A Mount Sinai research team has identified one of the mechanisms that establish the skin as a protective barrier, a breakthrough that is critical to understanding and treating common skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis. One of the most important roles of the skin is to act as a barrier that prevents water loss and protects the skin from pathogens. Failure of this protective function contributes to dermatological diseases. The research team led by Sarah E. Millar, Ph.D., Director of the Black Family Stem Cell Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, found that the scaffolding protein,  histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), is essential for proper skin development and barrier formation. Dr. Millar joins Dr. Roizen to talk about her team's findings and what they mean for those suffering from some skin conditions.  Want better health and nutrition?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and most who are diagnosed with lung cancer do not survive five years.  In some cases, surgery can remove the primary tumor, but investigators from the University of Missouri School of Medicine and MU Health Care have identified a type of cell fusion between cancer cells and white blood cells called a tumor-macrophage fusion (TMF) where the size and number of the TMF cells may predict survival. Dr. Jussuf Kaifi is an assistant professor of surgery at the MU School of Medicine and MU Health Care. He and his team of researchers studied non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)  patients over three years and compared them to chronic, long-term smokers without lung cancer and healthy non-smokers without any known cancer.  He joins Dr. Roizen this episode to talk about this research and its findings.
