Therapeutic Blood Purification and Its Potential to Treat Life-Threatening Conditions with Jim Joyce
Is purifying blood the future of treating sepsis and many other conditions? While still under development, a new device may revolutionize the field. Press play to learn: Why the definition of sepsis may be controversial A common challenge for dialysis patients What someone can expect having undergone the new procedure Jim Joyce, the CEO of Sigyn Therapeutics, shares his research and development of a new Hemopurifier and the value of therapeutic blood purification. Many therapeutic techniques involve the purification of blood and lowering toxicity. However, many of the currently used methods are rarely accessible and may not be the correct technique to expand the range of treatable ailments. While acute life-threatening conditions are the current focus of the new device, its application may be broadened in the future. With increasingly effective and available technology, subtractive therapies may be just as viable an option as additive therapies we see today. Visit https://www.sigyntherapeutics.com to learn more.

Palmoplantar Pustulosis Symptoms and the Causes and Treatments for Inflammatory Skin Diseases with James Mackay
What makes palmoplantar pustulosis symptoms so difficult to treat? Based on its unique makeup, relief can be challenging to find. Listen up to learn: What makes neutrophils so crucial The off-target affects new treatments The next stage of developing treatment James Mackay, the CEO of Aristea Therapeutics, shares his work researching inflammatory skin conditions and finding a solution to palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). Palmoplantar pustulosis is an immensely painful and debilitating inflammatory skin condition. Unfortunately, it has been discovered to be quite challenging to treat, and symptoms are challenging to quell for patients to find relief. While it has been previously seemingly untreatable in many situations, a vital discovery of the importance of neutrophils has allowed the development of new solutions. With additional research and development in tandem with big pharma, a solution may loom on the horizon.

Medical Laser Technology and Applications of Lasers for Medical Uses and Tattoo Removal with Dr. Thomas Barrows
Are medical lasers more valuable than many of us currently think? They may be part of the medical future with uses far beyond tattoo removal. Listen up to learn: How a laser can remove a tattoo Differences in tattoo removal in different demographics The importance of the wavelength in tattoo removal Dr. Thomas Barrows, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at World Back to Work, shares his work with medical lasers across their many uses. Lasers have become a mainstay in many medical applications, but tattoo removal may be one of the most beneficial uses. While it is not an immediate fix, they may make a once permanent decision much less untouchable. However, lasers interact very differently with different skin types, colors, ages, and tattoo colors. Still, with more research and development, advancements in laser technology can make the entirety of the process more effective and efficient.

The Causes of Climate Change, Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and how Solar Radiation Effects Temperature with Patrick Frank
Are the factors affecting air temperature what we previously thought? Based on physical evidence, there may be different culprits at hand. Listen in to learn: Major projections that may be filled with error The most significant factors affecting air temperature What major models are based on Patrick Frank, Scientific Affiliate at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, shares his experience researching climate change, the real reasons behind it, and the possible consequences. In recent years, the story of climate change has been centered on greenhouse gasses and a few other key factors. However, these factors may be based on errored evidence. Even with extensive modeled evidence and published studies, the evidence may be more akin to statistics than science. Due to this, the real causes and effects of climate change and rising air temperature may vary from what we have been told.

Human Genetic Variation and Types of Immunological Diseases and Their Effect on Individuals who Inherited Them with Matthew Cook
How do primary deficiency disorders affect those who present with them? Since some aren't even common enough to name, the effects can be quite challenging to pin down. Listen up to learn: How studying a single gene disorder can offer insight Possibilities to begin treating overreactions in immune responses What modulates people's reaction to Hyper IgE syndrome Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Center for Personalized Immunology, Matthew Cook, shares his work understanding the effects of immune-mediated diseases. Immune disorders can be debilitating for some of those who have them, but they can also run the gamut of effects from innocuous to severe. However, by examining the genetics of the diseases and those who have them, we may be able to begin demystifying some of the causes. Once we can begin to understand the genetic makeup and its effects on the immune condition, we can start developing treatments to help those who suffer from them. However, a patient's microbiome may make a significant difference. To learn more, visit https://www.cpi.org.au to learn more Episode also available on Apple Podcast: http://apple.co/30PvU9C

The Impact of Climate Change on the Biodiversity and Animal Behavior Around the World with Luisa Diele-Viegas
Has climate change permanently shifted biodiversity, or can we make a course correction? While we may have done irreparable damage in some areas, we may still be able to fight the effects of climate change. Listen up to learn: How some species have adapted to their new environmental struggles The consequences of a species' changed behavior How one animal's behavior changes the remainder of the ecosystem Luisa Diele-Viegas, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Federal University of Alagoas, shares her work researching how climate change has affected biodiversity. Much of the focus of the effects of climate change has focused on its impact on humans. However, if we take a closer look, the effects on biodiversity may be more severe than we initially thought. Since many animals have adopted behaviors to shield themselves from higher temperatures, they may not be able to carry out the resource gathering and reproduction necessary to sustain their species. If we cannot correct some of the damage already done, entire ecosystems may be changed for the worse. To learn more, search for Diele-Viegas LM on social media.

True or False There Are Two Main Types of Anxiety
Is your anxiety true or false? You might be thinking "It's TRUE anxiety—it's real, not false, and I'm not making it up." It turns out your anxiety might be of both types, but this does not mean you're making up anything at all. Tune in to explore: The difference between true and false anxiety, and which one to tackle first Why many people have become culturally conditioned to seek the "coddling" approach to mental health issues, and how this detracts from self-empowerment The relationship between anxiety and physiology (especially blood sugar levels) In what ways psychedelics can help people access inner truths, inspiration, and true engagement in their lives "Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger." This simple phrase reflects the underpinnings of Dr. Vora's work as a holistic psychiatrist. She believes everyone has the ability to influence their mental health, simply because a person's diet and lifestyle determine how their mental health manifests. People who seek new avenues of relief for their anxiety—beyond or altogether outside of prescription medication—come to see Dr. Vora. These avenues almost always lead straight to the physiological conditions of the body that relate to mental health, such as blood sugar levels, hormonal imbalances, digestion, and sleep patterns. After that, Dr. Vora works with patients on a deeper, often psycho-spiritual level. Interested in learning more?
