MedEvidence! Truth Behind the Data

Dr. Erich Schramm and Dr. Michael Koren lead a presentation on diabetes and obesity in front of a live audience. The doctors talk about the role willpower plays, how ultra-processed foods hijack our brain, and what a healthy diet looks like. They also discuss the myriad signaling molecules in the body that tell us we're hungry or full and when to digest all that food. The doctors also touch on the growing line of medications that are being used to control diabetes and obesity, and how the two diseases play off of each other, which makes breaking the cycle difficult. The doctors close by talking about the surprising role a desert lizard plays in current weight-loss medications, and a sneak preview of other investigational medications on the horizon.

Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to talk about what the Super Bowl can teach us about medicine. The doctor discusses on how players get two weeks off to prepare (and heal) for the Super Bowl. He then relates this to a growing trend in investigational medicine where pharmaceutical companies are searching for longer-term medications for blood pressure and other conditions that only need to be taken once a month or less. The hope is that this "time off" from taking medicines will allow for better outcomes. Dr. Koren describes a specific investigational study looking at a potential monthly blood pressure medication and explains that the relaxed schedule may take the pressure off patients who take these medications.

Dr. H. Jackson Downey sits down with MedEvidence!™ to give the low-down on keeping your lipoprotein(a) numbers down. Lipoprotein little a, also called Lp(a), is a really, really, really, really, really bad cholesterol that is genetically determined, meaning exercise and diet don't help lower the numbers. Instead, Dr. Downey explains, clinical trials are looking into investigational medications for this bad type of cholesterol. Dr. Downey describes the ins and outs of Lp(a) and how clinical research is our best bet for solutions to this dangerous cholesterol.

Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to relate his latest reading - the biography of the "father of the atomic bomb," J. Robert Oppenheimer - to medicine. He shares the sentiment that science is the practice of making the complex understandable, and explains that this is also the goal of medicine. The doctor explains the process of medicine as an effort to distill complicated circumstances into comprehensible, actions; on both the individual level and - with clinical trials - on the largest of scales.
