  • Farid Razavi, MD, joins us this week on the Tell Me More Podcast. He’s a gastroenterologist and passionate advocate for spreading awareness about colon cancer.

    The bottom line of Dr. Razavi’s message is clear: colon cancer is entirely preventable, and it's crucial that we work together to spread the word about screening.

    A colonoscopy is the primary screening procedure for colon cancer. We encourage all listeners to discuss screening with their primary care physician. Routine colon cancer screening should start at age 45 for people without a family history. If no polyps are found during your colonoscopy, the next screening is typically scheduled for 10 years later.

    For those with a family history of colon cancer, the first colonoscopy should be scheduled at age 40 or 10 years earlier than the age at which the first-degree family member (parent, sibling) was diagnosed, whichever comes first.

    Regular screenings are recommended between the ages of 45 and 75.

    To learn more, watch this video of Dr, Meyer as she completes the prep, undergoes her first colonoscopy procedure, and receives the results: https://youtu.be/vZoZ3nzt51M

    April 4 is the Colon Cancer Awareness Day Screening event as mentioned in the closing minutes of today’s podcast. You can learn more about Dr. Razavi and the screening event here:

  • How we talk to patients about their weight is unquestionably a very sensitive subject and needs to be handled with precision. Words matter significantly in patient communication, and outcomes often depend on proper communication.

    This week, we're talking with award-winning author Michelle May, MD, CSP. In addition to her popular "Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat" book series, she co-authored the 2022 article, "The Consequences of a Weight-Centric Approach to Healthcare: A Case for a Paradigm Shift in How Clinicians Address Body Weight," in Nutrition in Clinical Practice, a highly respected peer-reviewed medical journal.

    How to have better weight-centric conversations in healthcare is the theme of today’s chat. Dr. May highlights many of the flaws in our current approach, emphasizing the harm caused by weight bias and the need for a shift towards a weight-inclusive perspective.

  • When it comes to leaving clinical practice and forging a new path, our podcast guest this week, Catherine Smitas, MD, proves you can have your cake and eat it too. She shares her story of navigating the transition from clinical practice to new horizons in healthcare outside of traditional patient care.

    The best part of her journey? She is still taking care of patients! Dr. Smitas's passion for patient care didn't have to take a back seat to her desires to test the waters in a new frontier where she serves as a medical director with an accountable care organization.

    She continues to care for patients once a week on a volunteer basis to this day.

    As we learn in today's episode, it's possible to help more patients than you can dream possible if you take a chance and leave traditional patient care to pursue a less traditional role with your medical degree and patient care experience.

    Her advice for doctors looking to leave traditional clinical practice is clear: it's important not to perceive yourself as trapped in your current situation. If you make the transition away from patient care, remind yourself that the choice is not permanent. While you are taking this path for now, there is room for reconsideration and returning to patient care.

    With an impressive background in academia, Dr. Smitas embarked on a fulfilling career in clinical medicine. However, her path took unexpected turns, leading her to a critical juncture where the demands of her job, after-hours calls, and a growing family began to weigh on her.

  • In the latest episode of the Tell Me More podcast, Dr. Christine Meyer engages in a heartfelt conversation with Hannah, a young woman who shares her challenging journey to uncover the truth about her health issues and a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Hannah's story sheds light on the difficulties many individuals face in obtaining an accurate diagnosis and the impact it has on their quality of life.

    Dr. Meyer and Hannah’s conversation highlights the many obstacles she encountered along the way. From her initial symptoms in middle school to years of misdiagnoses, Hannah describes the physical and emotional toll that these experiences took on her life.

    As the conversation unfolds, listeners gain insight into the frustrating encounters with doctors who dismissed her symptoms as growing pains or normal occurrences. Hannah's determination to find answers, fueled by her unwavering support system, eventually leads her to a rheumatologist who, despite negative blood test results for rheumatoid arthritis, uncovers the hidden truth—zero-negative rheumatoid arthritis. This diagnosis finally provides Hannah with a sense of validation and the opportunity to receive appropriate treatment.

    This podcast explores the themes of perseverance, self-advocacy, and the crucial role of a supportive healthcare team and personal support system. It emphasizes the importance of listening to patients and considering their experiences even when standard diagnostic tests do not provide clear answers. Hannah's story serves as a reminder that everyone’s journey is unique and that the path to diagnosis may be winding, but with determination, empowerment – and answers -- can be found.
