Amazing podcast
I love y’all’s podcast. Great updates with evidenced based sources.
Would y’all please consider a podcast on adult ADHD, which anecdotally I’ve seen a “rise” in self patient diagnoses. And withdrawing patients from benzodiazepines. Thanks!

Retirement rant is ridiculous
The comments on not retiring are criminally insensitive. Many people have no choice about retirement age. Many jobs are unrewarding and stressful, not rewarding or providing purpose. By contrast many retirement activities are engaging and meaningful. Clearly it has to be approached carefully but it can be fulfilling and health promoting.

Big fan!
I love this podcast! I’m a first year medical student and listen to it as productive procrastination (or when I’m too deep in the biochem/anatomy study weeds and need a reminder of what I’m moving towards). I attribute at least 85% of the smart things I say during class to this show. Plus it’s fun!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REBOOT #511 Alzheimer's Disease: Updates in Diagnosis and Treatment

Q: Who should order blood-based biomarkers in practice today?

It varies, but estimates show a trend toward specialty care and memory clinics handling initial interpretation, with primary care starting to refer when cognitive impairment is evident and comfort interpreting results is limited.

#538: More Than a Gut Feeling - DGBIs with Dr. Iris Wang

Q: Given the absence of alarm features, how do you approach colonoscopy decisions for a 22-year-old with chronic diarrhea?

Guideline-directed colonoscopy may not be immediately indicated in the absence of alarm features, but I may still consider it if there are red flags or if symptoms persist or worsen; I focus on risk stratification, discuss potential low-yield nature of colonoscopy, and reserve it for if symptoms escalate or if family history raises concern.

#538: More Than a Gut Feeling - DGBIs with Dr. Iris Wang

Q: Iris, can you clarify what you would look for in this two-year history of diarrhea in a young woman and what initial tests you would order?

I would start with a thorough history including family cancer risk, travel history, alarm symptoms, and menstrual factors; use Rome-5 criteria to establish IBS while ordering fecal calprotectin to screen for inflammation and celiac serologies to rule out celiac disease, all while avoiding unnecessary invasive tests unless risk factors arise.

#537 Hyperkalemia and Hypokalemia

Q: How do you approach hyperkalemia in a patient with CKD and mild elevation of potassium?

Assess if the elevation is real or an artifact, check for hemolysis, tourniquet effect, and pre-analytic issues; then apply a three-part framework (intake, distribution, excretion) and address modifiable factors before altering essential therapies.

#536 Q&Apalooza: Your Addiction Questions Answered!

Q: How do you manage perioperative and severe pain in hospitalized patients on chronic stable MOUD?

Maintain baseline MOUD dosages through the acute period, add short-acting opioids for acute pain as needed, consider acceptable rotation and multimodal strategies, and avoid tapering MOUD during acute pain to prevent opioid deficit and poor pain control.
