In the 1990s, there were only two female hospital CEOs in the United States - one of them is our guest today! Her name is Patricia Rush, MD, MBA. In this episode, Dr. Rush takes us through the course of her 40 years as an internal medicine doctor. She has a fundamental conversation of hope – an opportunity to get to the root causes of physical & emotional suffering & completely revolutionizing the way that we look at chronic disease & health disparities.
She discusses her career paths & what led her to create a different kind of primary care practice; The ASTONISHING relationship she found between patient experience & health; And lastly - new scientific findings – which can help us all create a new and better approach when it comes to getting to the root of chronic disease.
She is the co-founder of The Center for Collaborative Study of Trauma, Health Equity, and Neurobiology (THEN). THEN was formed by 4 women health clinician-scholars in 2017 with the goal of designing and sharing a curriculum for medical science about childhood adversity, neurodevelopment, lifelong health and health equity. THEN provides lectures and workshops locally, nationally, and via video-conference. Through their website (www.thencenter.org), they hope to provide a series of short instructive videos, supported by an extensive Bibliography and Glossary:
THEN CURRICULAR MODULES include:
• Core principles of System Science
• Regulation and Dysregulation
• Notice re Traumatic Content & Importance for Clinicians of Self Care
• Life Course
• Neurodevelopment
• Trauma, Adversity, and Chronic Inflammation
• Health Equity and the Trauma of Discrimination
• Clinician Skills in Interviewing Patients and Building the Clinician-Patient Partnership
• Therapeutic Principles in Developing a Regulatory Plan for Patients
• Re-examination of typical models of key diseases
One of the most important medical discoveries of the past few decades was recently published in the scientific journal, Nature Medicine in December, 2019. This was a large-scale meta-analysis of data from more than 160,000 people across 54 long-term prospective studies & it PROVED that chronic inflammatory diseases have been recognized as the most significant cause of death in the world today. With more than 50% of all deaths being attributable to inflammation-related diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), auto-immune & neurodegenerative conditions. Evidence is emerging that the risk of developing chronic inflammation can be traced back to early development, and its effects are now known to persist throughout the life span to affect adulthood health - linking early childhood experience & chronic illness! This was one of Dr. Rush's greatest epiphanies - long before this recent article! Full Journal: (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337773457_Chronic_inflammation_in_the_etiology_of_disease_across_the_life_span)

In today's special Code Triage episode, we discuss the first official case of Coronavirus-2019 that was diagnosed in the United States.
On January 19, 2020, a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington, with a 4-day history of cough and subjective fever. On checking into the clinic, the patient put on a mask in the waiting room. After waiting approximately 20 minutes, he was taken into an examination room and underwent evaluation by a provider. He disclosed that he had returned to Washington State on January 15 after traveling to visit family in Wuhan, China. We discuss his entire hospital course, the labs & the management in detail. This case was published in the New England Journal of Medicine: (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001191).
You can live-track the Coronavirus cases using this link: (https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6)

In this month's episode, we are bringing you an internationally recognized leader in bridging science & spirit, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. Bruce is one of the founding father's of stem cell biology & human genetic engineering. He began doing research on stem cells more than 50 years ago, back when only a handful of scientists even knew what they were! His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine revealed that the environment we put our cells into can control our cell's behavior, physiology & influence them to turn certain genes on & off! This is what led Dr. Lipton to discover that our mind: is the government of all 50 trillion cells in our body - a finding that went on to contribute & help create one of today's most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics.
Dr. Lipton's research & teachings have been INSTRUMENTAL to my philosophies as a family medicine physician. That's why today, we dissect his revolutionary work & will be sharing practical tips on how to reprogram the subconscious mind; maximize your full cellular & genetic potential; & how you can train your mind to heal from PTSD & a traumatic childhood.

In this months episode, we are bringing you the American Medical Association's Chief Representative of Urologists, Dr. Aaron Spitz. He has specific training and interest in male reproductive medicine & surgery. I discovered his book: 'The Penis Book: A Doctor's Complete Guide to the Penis-From Size to Function and Everything in Between' from James Cameron's Netflix documentary: The Game Changers (produced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan). In the documentary, Dr. Spitz performed a small sleep study that tested the strength of erections in athletes based on what diets they were eating. The study showed that a single plant-based meal allowed the athlete's erections to last three times as long and were nearly 10% stronger (during their sleep). It was after watching THIS I KNEW we had to have this man on our show!!!
Today, he hits his 5 step plan to Maximizing Penis Health which includes the following: Diet, exercise, sleep, limiting/excluding pornography & avoiding drugs & alcohol. He goes in depth on each of these topics & gives us some insight on all the developments that have occurred since Game Changers was released!

Here are the links to Dr. Aujla's best-selling book, Eat to Beat Illness:
U.S. Edition: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/eat-to-beat-illness-us-edition
U.K. Edition: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/eat-to-beat-illness
According to the National Library of medicine, it is scientifically proven that the foods we choose to eat each day can alter the expression and control of our genes. This literally means that you are what you eat! (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2373379/)
In this months episode, we're bringing you Dr. Rupy Aujla, International Best Selling Author & the founder of The Doctor's Kitchen! He's an emergency medicine doctor & the clinical adviser to the Royal College of general practitioners in the UK. Dr. Rupy also founded the non-profit organization ‘Culinary Medicine’, which aims to teach doctors & medical students the foundations of nutrition as well as teaching them how to cook (this is the future fam!).
Ive been following Dr. Rupy Aujla on his instagram, @doctors_kitchen for awhile now & I began noticing that they are truly revolutionizing the way doctors are approaching medicine. We had the honor of dissecting his newest book, Eat to Beat Illness & I'm happy to say it’s become my go-to cookbook. This episode is jam packed with SO many practical tips that highlight how taking control of what you put on your plate can give you power over your health!!!
Dr. Aujla opens up about being diagnosed with a heart condition (atrial fibrillation) when he was a junior doctor. To his surprise, by changing his lifestyle: via increasing intake of vegetables & fruits, nuts & seeds; meditating regularly; exercising; and incorporating better sleep hygiene, he was able to reverse the condition!
A piece from Dr Rupy’s book:
‘On discussing my experiences with cardiologists, general physicians and lifestyle medicine practitioners it was hard to retrospectively pinpoint exactly what had happened to make the AF episodes stop. My increased vegetable intake likely replaced electrolytes and vitamins in my cells that were lacking. Eating cruciferous vegetables on a daily basis flooded my body with plant chemicals that we now understand have profound effects on DNA. I continued to drink alcohol on occasion, but I removed sugary drinks completely. My added dietary fibre is likely to have improved the functioning of my gut bacteria, which can lower inflammation via a variety of chemical pathways. I potentially attenuated the stress in my life triggered by poor sleep and a demanding job by increasing essential fatty acids in my food and practising mindfulness.’

According to the CDC, as of October 8, 2019, 1,299 confirmed & probable lung injury cases associated with use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products were reported by 49 out of 50 states. We now have data on 1,043 patients of these patients including age and sex: 70% of patients are male. 80% of patients are under 35 years old. 15% are under 18 years old!
26 deaths have been confirmed in 21 states: Alabama, California (3), Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia (2), Illinois, Indiana, Kansas (2), Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oregon (2), Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
Here is the link to these stats: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2019/s-1010-vaping-injury-update.html
This is WHY we are bringing you the American Lung Association's spokesman: Cedric Jamie Rutland, M.D. Dr. Rutland is a board certified Pulmonologist & a certified badass!! He is passionate about lung health & had the honor of going in depth on the topics of vaping, cannabis, tobacco, cancer, death, lung health & his journey to becoming a pulmonologist.
The CDC does mention on their website that E-cigarettes have the potential to benefit adult cigarette smokers who are not pregnant if used as a complete substitute for regular cigarettes & other smoked tobacco products (https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/basic_information/e-cigarettes/pdfs/Electronic-Cigarettes-Infographic-508.pdf). Past research has shown, though not harmless, vaping may have fewer toxins than cigarettes. The intention with this podcast is not to vilify vaping, but rather, to examine what has changed & why this epidemic is happening right before our eyes.

According to the National Library of Medicine, it is now scientifically proven that the environment we grow up in has a direct impact on our brain development. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3232061/
Research from animal and human models suggest that early life stress (such as abuse, witnessing domestic violence, and serious household dysfunction) that occurs while mom is pregnant, or after birth, during a baby's first days, weeks and months of life, may be particularly influential for neuro-developmental or brain-related outcomes. This is because the stress occurs at a time when brain systems are rapidly organizing. For example, a baby’s brain is making 20,000 brand new neurons per second! Compare that to the average adult, who will makes about 400 neurons a day.
During last months episode with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, we connected the CDC’s Adverse Child Experience’s (ACES) study to chronic disease & mental health. The thing that alarmed me most as a physician was that individual’s who have 6 or more ACEs die on average: 20 years earlier than those who grow up in stable environments! Well we cannot complete that conversation without looking at how the brain forms during our experiences in childhood (neuro-development).
That’s why today, we’re bringing you the WORLD’s leading expert on childhood trauma! This is the man that Oprah goes to when she wants to learn about childhood trauma!! Dr. Bruce Perry is a psychiatrist & has a PHD in neuroscience. In this episode, Dr. Perry explains what happens inside the brain’s of children exposed to extreme stress & shares their lessons of courage, humanity & hope.
Guys this podcast is starting to open up a space where we can literally HEAR & FEEL the future of medicine coming!! This episode is a living example of that.
