What role does genetics play in how our bodies respond to complex illness?

IMA President and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Varon was joined by Harvard-trained physician Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen to explore how genetics may help explain why patients experience different symptoms and respond differently to illness.

They discussed:
• How genomic differences may influence symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, POTS, mast cell activation, heart rhythm changes, and abnormal clotting
• How genomic testing can help identify biological pathways that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms
• How these insights may help clinicians develop more personalized approaches to care
• The discussion was geared primarily toward clinicians caring for patients with Long COVID and post-vaccine symptoms, while also offering useful information for patients interested in this emerging area of care.

Dr. Kim Biss: The Precautionary Principle Was Abandoned With COVID-19 Shots in Pregnancy

Read more: https://imahealth.org/fauci-hid-texts-about-miscarriage-risk-our-doctors-were-saying-it-out-loud/

Recently revealed text messages between Drs. Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, and Vivek Murthy show that in early 2021, top American health officials were privately discussing concerns that COVID-19 mRNA shots could pose risks to pregnancy, including possible miscarriage.

But the public message was very different. All three doctors—and the major public health agencies—publicly urged pregnant women to get vaccinated.

Few physicians publicly challenged this guidance. IMA Senior Fellow, Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr. Kimberly Biss was one of the few in her specialty who began speaking up and asking questions after seeing troubling changes among patients in her own practice.

Here, Dr. Biss examines what health officials knew about COVID-19 shots during pregnancy, the warning signals that were overlooked, and why pregnant women deserve rigorous safety data and full transparency before any new medical intervention. Watch now.

How to Buy Better Healthcare for Less

Sign up for weekly webinars: https://imahealth.org/weekly-webinars/

Healthcare may be one of the only major purchases people are expected to make without knowing the price first.

Dr. Kat Lindley was joined by Dr. Mollie James and healthcare plan expert Christine Price for a practical discussion about how patients, physicians, and employers can buy better healthcare for less.

Together, they examined why insurance does not always protect families from high costs, how employers may have more control over their health plans than they realize, and why buying care directly can sometimes lead to better service at a more transparent price.

The conversation explored:
• Hospital billing and inflated medical prices
• Employer-sponsored plans and reference-based pricing
• Direct primary care, concierge medicine, and cash-pay services
• Practical ways to buy better care for less

What if Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are caused by more than genetics alone?

Dr. Yusuf “JP” Saleeby, IMA Senior Fellow in Functional and Integrative Medicine, was joined by gut health specialist Josh Dech for a closer look at what may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease, also known as IBD. The two recently co-authored a new paper published in the Journal of Independent Medicine.

They discussed:
• Why the usual explanation of IBD may not tell the whole story
• How food, environment, and gut bacteria may affect inflammation
• Why having a certain gene does not always mean someone will develop IBD
• Why IBD rates can rise when families move to a new country
• Whether the immune system may be reacting to something in the gut
• New research on ultra-processed foods and IBD risk
The conversation explored how genetics, diet, gut health, and the environment may work together to affect Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

How can parents help their children build healthier bodies, steadier moods, and stronger daily habits?

IMA Senior Fellow and pediatrician Dr. Liz Mumper is joined by pediatric holistic nurse Maureen McDonnell, BSN for a thoughtful, solutions-focused discussion about supporting the whole child. They explore how nutrition, blood-sugar balance, digestive health, sleep, screens, movement, stress, and family routines may influence a child’s physical and emotional well-being—and how parents can make meaningful changes without guilt, fear, or chasing perfection.

Topics include:
• Protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals
• Selective eating and possible underlying concerns
• Blood-sugar regulation, digestive health, and the gut-brain connection
• Anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional regulation
• Sleep, screen boundaries, movement, and outdoor play
• Building healthy family routines without pursuing perfection
• The free Children’s Health Solutions Series
