Two new episodes this week!

Monday we published a Field Trip about Indigenous food and growing breadfruit on Hawaii, chatting from two different islands to get the scoop on this giant fruit.

Last night we published a whole episode about veins, arteries, vessels, clots and all kind of tubing.

Have you listened yet? What did you think? I'm writing this from the car as we head to a friend's farm for a few days and I tell you more about it in this week's secret with a special cameo from Alexis Nelson aka Black Forager.

Okay, let's discuss! And make sure to check your tire ressure and oil if you;re hitting the trail for the holiday.

On the road again,

Surgical Angiology (VEINS & ARTERIES) with Dr. Sheila Blumberg - alie ward

Vaping and vein health! Covid and clots! Easy bruising! Movie blood! Spider veins! Free socks! The heroic vascular surgeon Dr. Sheila Blumberg of NYU Langone Health let me ask her one million questions about how blood gets from point A to B all day.

Listened to the Breadfruit episode. I lived in Hawaii as a kid and we thought breadfruit was so meh. Who knew!? Protein? Sustainable Ag. Great episode. Also am just starting the artery/veins episode and as the proud owner of a platinum stent (Non smoker, non sedentary, good diet, active, no family hx...and had a f'n heart attack. Hello widowmaker. I was just relaxing in this nice bubble bath...all good now but sure would love to know when they're going to do better at women's health. "but it skews our data, all those hormones..."

I haven’t listened yet but I’m PUMPED (pun unintended but gladly welcomed lol)

Amazing contribution to my brain and the world❤️👍

I used to be one of those people who had a hard time finding a vein. When I upped my water intake, it became much easier. And the best part? Black coffee counts. So no more fasting appointments when exhausted.

I really appreciated this episode. Despite vaccines and masking and avoiding covid for more than three years, I finally caught it in November 2023 and had inflammation-induced DVTs in my legs... and one clot moved into my lungs. The only symptom I had was a leg cramps that wouldn't go away. Fortunately, my doctor was ON IT, and she put me in the hospital for treatment. It was a scary week where I tried to not think about what *could* have happened. It also made me realize I didn't know as much as I thought about my own circulatory system! I was tested for every genetic issue that could have contributed (23 tubes of blood were drawn!), and everything was ruled out...it was just complications from covid.

Alie Ward

Wooooow, thanks for this story! I still have not caught it (knocking on a table) but the longer term complications like clots are scary. I'm glad your doctor was in the know!

Alie Ward

How much do you drink in a day? Did you have a certain water bottle or giant jar that changed your life?

Alie Ward

Aww, thank you! Dr. Blumberg is a real one

Matt Ceccato

I try to drink 64oz a day. That’s both water and black coffee

We have a Cardiology episode coming up in February! I haven't interviewed him yet but women's/AFAB cardiac health is def on the agenda

Diana Staresinic-Deane

Hope you stay so lucky! I was literally sneezed on by a kiddo at work. I actually remember thinking, "So this is how I die."

I've had varicose veins from a young age. Listening to this reminded me of when I was in my early 30s my then GP referred me to get vein stripping done for my left leg and it was horrible! I later found out this was so outdated, and I was mad! Found another doctor who lasered my other leg for me, which was a much better experience!

I’m listening to this episode sloooowly because I tend to pass out for medical related topics but I’m enjoying it greatly!! I’m curious and confused on the distinction between “being on your feet” vs “moving your body”— with the discussion of compression socks being important for people in professions like nursing to prevent leg pain but then moving around being important for vein health. Is the distinction that standing in one place can be damaging while walking or other movement is beneficial? I hope I phrased that clear enough!

Paulina Krasińska-Sroka

Umpf! That was difficult episode - lots of terminology that didn't come naturally understandable to me. I had to listen twice 😁 But it was great!

Logan mcmanus

Thanks for this episode. Knowing the signs of DVT is so important! I have a clotting disorder (Factor V Leiden) and found out about said disorder after having a pulmonary embolism at 18 😬 Hormonal birth control increases your risk of clots and is real dangerous for those with higher risk (remember the 2010 lawsuit against Yaz? I'm in those statistics somewhere 🙋‍♀️).

Yes that's the essence. Jobs where you stand around a lot and don't get breaks from standing are hard on the bod. The ideal is variety - stand, walk, sit, lay down for a bit, walk, stand, sit. Your best position is your next position.

Jeanette-o-saur

This was great and I'm also a sad puffin that I missed the question window. I have questions about the mini clots they've found in big muscles post COVID and why the heck I developed chilblains and are chilblains and Raynaud's and whitehand potentially related? Le sigh

GhoulNextDoor

Thank you for the clarification! I figured that was the case but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing something.

Carley Froehlich

Thank you so much for this episode! I am a vascular technologist here in LA so this was very exciting for me! I do have to make a correction though about something I heard you say several times in the episode! Arteries are not deeper than veins, you have a deep venous system that runs parallel to your arteries through your muscles. (Think of a highway going two separate directions) You do have a superficial venous system as well which is close to the skin so you were half right :) Again I really enjoyed the episode (and every episode) so much!! Xoxox

Hi! Chiming in to say I love your podcast and I think it would be incredible if you did an episode on anesthesiology! So crazy that we go to sleep, memory making off, while work happens to our physical being
