Translating Pre-Medical Experiences into Clinical Skills
As a pre-medical student in college, it can be overwhelming deciding how to allocate your time outside of classes. A good first step is to try a variety of activities and to intently pursue those that fulfill you the most. While you should take into account admission requirements and experiences to maximize your competitiveness (i.e. clinical experiences, research, and volunteer service), the driving force for how you spend your free time should be where your passions lie. Ultimately, pursuing your passions will inherently make you a stronger (and more unique) applicant. Now that I have finished my core requirements as ...

How Your Brain Is Connected to Your Gut: 7 Facts About Gut Health
We've all had a "gut feeling," or someone has told us to "follow our gut." It's that feeling that we may know something just by knowing—our intuition telling us something. It turns out that this feeling is more than just a feeling. The human body is an intricate series of systems, each individually playing a vital role in our overall health and well-being, and at the same time, they are all connected to make our whole body work.  One of these systems is the gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, which is responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients. When we combine its superpowers with the brain...

A Tribute to Casey Quinlan – Advocate and Renaissance Woman
On Tuesday April 25th 2023, the world lost a bright flame. After a long journey with cancer, Casey Quinlan @MightyCasey passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side. Quinlan was one-of-a-kind and if you had the good fortune of meeting her in-person or interacted with her online, she undoubtedly left an impression. She was one of the few people who had zero qualms about speaking her mind – and that is one of reasons why I admired her. Outspoken Advocate I got to know Quinlan through the early #hcldr tweetchats that we hosted (and still host) on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm ET. At the time, I had never seen someo...

A Life Well Lived, Fights Well Fought
By KIM BELLARD I first became aware of Casey Quinlan in 2017, when she published an article in Tincture, which I was helping to edit.  In it, she discussed how she’d had her medical history and advance directive tattooed on her chest, out of frustration with the lack of health information exchange in healthcare.  As she said, “ALL. THOSE. F.ING. FORMS. ON. CLIPBOARDS.” Well, I thought: she sounds like an interesting person.  I started following her on Twitter, enjoying her outspokenness and agreeing with many of her points of view.  Then early in the pandemic Matthew Holt started THCB Gang pod...

Nutrition: Major Government Fail?
Chris EdwardsAmericans are getting used to failures by government experts. Government economists have a  dismal forecasting record. Government actions and advice during the pandemic were often misguided. And dozens of former government intelligence experts got the Hunter Biden laptop storywrong.A less recognized but also important failure may be in nutrition. Federal experts appear to have issued faulty advice for decades, even as American obesityexploded from 15 percent in the 1970s to 42 percent today. Federal guidance on nutrition has a  large influence on health practice across society. Some researchers argue that Am...

Approaching a Half-Century of Life With Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
On July 24, 2023, I will mark 47 years of having lived with autoimmune Type 1 diabetes (T1D). I was diagnosed as a seven year old, so not quite fifty years ago, but much closer than I ever really anticipated. When I was diagnosed in 1976, no one told me that I should expect horrific complications or that I ' d die young because threats weren ' t part of the conversation; some may have been due to my age. But there was also no such thing as a certified diabetes educator in 1976; instead, pediatric nurses instructed patients on how to give themselves an injection. In fact, scientists had only proven that Type 1 diabetes h...
