Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sports Essentials: How To Avoid ‘Bonking’ During a Marathon with Dr. Jennifer Smith

Q: How often should runners fuel during the race to avoid hitting the wall?

Aim for 50-60 grams of carbohydrates per hour, typically via gels or drinks every 25-30 minutes, and practice this during long runs to adapt the stomach.

Sports Essentials: How To Avoid ‘Bonking’ During a Marathon with Dr. Jennifer Smith

Q: Dr. Smith, talk to us a little bit about the importance of pacing and how setting the right pace can prevent bonking later in the race.

Pacing is essential; keeping a controlled effort helps distribute energy use so the body can sustain performance through the final miles, and training should include marathon pace work and predictor workouts to estimate a sustainable pace.

Why Do Men Lose Their Hair? with Dr. Chey Ranasinghe, MD

Q: What other options exist beyond pills for managing hair loss?

Additional options include oral minoxidil for those who can't tolerate topical application, red light therapy add-ons, and platelet-rich plasma injections, all used in varying combinations as part of a long-term plan.

Why Do Men Lose Their Hair? with Dr. Chey Ranasinghe, MD

Q: What are the first-line FDA-approved treatments discussed?

Topical minoxidil is the first line, often used early and consistently; finasteride is another FDA-approved option that reduces DHT production, and many patients use both for best effect.

Why Do Men Lose Their Hair? with Dr. Chey Ranasinghe, MD

Q: What is the main cause of male pattern hair loss according to the discussion?

The main causes are genetics and hormone sensitivity, particularly to DHT, which leads to gradual miniaturization of susceptible hair follicles rather than an abrupt loss.
