S03_E07 - The Bone Zone: Insights on Osteoporosis and Healthy Bones
Ever wonder why we shrink in old age? Is it true that astronauts lose bone mass in space? And does all milk have the same amount of calcium? There are over 200 bones in the human body and it's safe to say each plays a pretty important role, so of course it's important to keep them healthy! But what's the best way to go about that? What are some of the things that can go wrong with them? And what is a "T-score" anyway?
Thankfully, on Episode 7 of the show, we'll be joined by Endocrinologist and author, Dr. Ann Kearns (MD, PhD), of Hennepin Healthcare to help get some information and advice on our precious frames. We'll go over the best practices for keeping our bones healthy, the common causes when things go awry, and options available to us in the event that they do. Doctor Kearns literally wrote the book on Osteoporosis, which you can find here! We all have bones, and we all age, so there's a ton of essential information here for everyone. We hope you'll join us!

S02_E15 - The 411 on Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea. There's a number of us who live with the condition, and when you add up the number of bed partners who, by extension, also live with it, that number gets pretty huge. But what is it exactly? Is it dangerous? How is it different from snoring? And what are the options for treating it?
On Episode 15, we'll take a good look at sleep apnea with Dr. Ranji Varghese from the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center at Hennepin Healthcare. We'll break down the causes, the risks and the range of available treatments that may just save you from a sleep divorce (it's a thing)! From sleep studies to the latest devices and techniques, and even Dr. Varghese's own impression of a didgeridoo, we'll cover it all on this episode of the podcast. Join us!
Congratulations to the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center for their recent recognition by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for their 40 years as an accredited institution. The many patients you've served, and their bed partners, thank you!

S02_E19 - Feeling the Burn. Talking Upper GI Health with Dr. Jake Matlock.
BBQ! Hot salsa! Gas station sushi! What do they have in common? Well, they're not exactly health foods. But that doesn't mean we don't (or won't) eat them when we crave them. And, as we all know, sometimes they punch back...
On Episode 19, we're joined once again by Hennepin Healthcare's Dr. Jake Matlock to break down the causes and effects of heartburn, acid reflux (or GERD), ulcers, and the like. These are conditions that we all fall victim to every once in a while, and for many of us, they can have a very large impact on our day-to-day. We'll go over the origins, diagnoses, and treatment options, as well as the best bets for maintaining a healthy gut. Join us!

S02_E21 - COVID-19 - It's Been a Minute...
Remember COVID-19? Of course, we all do (it was a global pandemic), but what's the latest on it? It seems like it's been a bit absent from the conversation lately, especially in the media. But is it still a major public health concern? What have we learned and what still remains a mystery?
On Episode 21, we thought it would be a good idea to dive back into the topic and check on the current status of the disease from a trusted source - Dr. Hilden! From the initial suspicions to the latest vaccines and treatments, we've learned a lot by rolling with the punches over the past few years. On this episode, we'll explore where we've been and where we may be headed, as well as the best practices for living with a virus that's likely to be a part of our experience going forward. Join us!

S03_E18 - Face It, It Hurts...Understanding Orofacial Pain
Toothaches! Neuralgias! Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD)! Apart from these being great Scrabble words, they are also just a few things that fall under the category of Orofacial Pain. Any one of these conditions can severely impact our daily lives, with wide-ranging effects that can extend well beyond pain. They can affect the way we eat, speak, breathe, and even how we feel psychologically. But like many things in healthcare, we're left with a few of the same questions when it comes to Orofacial Pain. What causes these conditions? How are they diagnosed? And, what help is available for those suffering from them? And does BOTOX really have a role in medicine?
On Episode 18 of our show, we'll be joined by Dr. Maram Taema, who will walk us through this relatively new focus in medicine and discuss approaches that can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Orofacial pain. She's a Dentist, Oral Surgeon, and a specialist in these conditions and will provide practical tips for diagnosing and treating these conditions - both inside and outside the dentists' chair - including the magical relaxing power of the letter "N". Suffer from headaches? Grind your teeth? Got a click in your jaw? This one's for you. Join us!

In episode 4, we'll talk with Dr. Lou Kohl, an interventional cardiologist at Hennepin Healthcare, to go over the basics of heart function, ways to keep our hearts healthy, the wide world of stents, and whole lot more.

S03_E09 - Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad and the Triglycerides...
Cholesterol can be a confusing subject for many of us. And, as many of us can attest to, seeing the results from a lipid panel can be like reading a foreign language. What's a safe range? Does good cholesterol cancel out the bad? And what is a lipid, anyway?
It turns out cholesterol is a necessary piece of the human puzzle, but like a lot things, too much of anything is likely not good. But what can be done to help us in the battle for better numbers? Thankfully on Episode 9 of the show, we'll have the help of Hennepin Healthcare cardiologist, Dr. Woubeshet Ayenew, MD, to break down some of the terms and concepts around cholesterol and get us a better feel for what we're up against. He'll give insight on how to calculate risk of a heart attack (there's a cool online calculator here!), what we can do to keep our cholesterol in check, the role of statins, and more ! We've all got cholesterol, so there's something here for everyone - join us!
