Weight loss, GLP-1s and Sarcopenia: A Podcast with John Batsis, Shen Dewar, Aruna Josyula (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GLP-1 receptor agonists (the "Ozempics of the world") have been a truly revolutionary pharmacological advance in modern medicine. In randomized controlled trials (RCTs), these agents have been shown to do much more than just reduce weight, including significantly reducing cardiovascular events, lowering all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, and even slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease. But as we see their use rapidly expand among older adults, we have to ask: at wha
Who Should Palliative Care See? Diane Meier, Bob Arnold, and Justin Sanders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Diane Meier remarks to start today's podcast, palliative care has come a long way from the days when we were the "brink of death" consult. We're seeing patients earlier and earlier in the course of illness. In fact, the evidence base for specialist palliative care is arguably stronger in the outpatient setting than the inpatient setting. In some ways, as Eric remarked, we are a victim of our own success. We've pushed on the boundaries of seeing patients earlier in the course of illness, we've
LATE vs Alzheimer's: Biomarkers, Mixed Dementia, and Clinical Realities with Nate Chin & Sterling Johnson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Up until just a couple years ago, an 85-year-old patient presenting with gradual, amnestic memory loss was almost automatically presumed to have Alzheimer's disease. However, new biomakers and the recognition of conditions like Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) are reshaping our understanding of cognitive decline in older adults. It's looking more clear that pure Alzheimers dementia is rare in older adults, and co-occurring pathologies that may include Alzheimer's, LATE
Video-Enhanced Advance Care Planning: Joshua Lakin and Kei Ouchi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can simple, evidence-based video decision aids—paired with structured clinician training—improve Advance Care Planning (ACP) documentation and goal-concordant care? That's the question we pose in this week's podcast with Dr. Joshua Lakin and Dr. Kei Ouchi. We break down the methodologies behind two major clinical trials in which they were involved that implemented this video-enhanced approach. The f irst study, published in JGIM, was a multicenter, parallel randomized trial of 598 seriously ill
Longevity Treatments - Snake Oil or Breakthrough? John Newman & Mahtab Jafari (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The longevity industry is booming. Influencers are promoting this and that as promoting healthy aging, longevity, and healthspan, and it's hard for us, much less our patients, to make sense of it. To be sure, we should always start by recommending exercise, nutritious foods, good sleep habits, and meaningful social interaction. We wanted to go beyond that to talk about the promise and potential and risks/harms of "biohacks." Today we talk with Mahtab Jafari, PharmD, and John Newman, MD, PhD, and
