  • Trumped-Up Tylenol Misfire & RFK’s Genetics Gibberish

    Trumped-Up Tylenol Misfire & RFK’s Genetics Gibberish
    Sep 29 2025

    In this episode, we explore the controversial discussion around aacetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and its possible links to autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent expressions. We draw on evidence based medicine, and examine what the science actually shows… And what it doesn’t. We also unpack the public debate, fueled by figures like RFK Junior, separating data from opinion and clarifying the strength and limitations of existing research.

    My goal is to help you discern between agenda-driven rhetoric, misguided misinformation and appropriate attribution of data. To help you understand the difference between correlation and causation. If you’re not familiar with the hierarchy of evidence based medicine, that’s terrific because the point of this episode is to help you understand the difference between different kinds of research and the different value that specific kind of studies hold. This episode breaks it down, because everyone deserves to have the tools to be able to discern and process information when someone they are expected to get their information from says “studies show”.

    This episode is not medical advice but an educational look at how evidence is framed, debated, and applied in both mainstream medicine and public discourse.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether headlines linking Tylenol, pregnancy, autism, and adhd reflect fact or fear, this episode will help you navigate the noise with clarity and compassion.

  • Energy Systems Intro Part 2: the Subtle Energy Bodies

    Energy Systems Intro Part 2: the Subtle Energy Bodies
    Nov 24 2022
    Join your host, Physician Associate and Usui Reiki Master, Nicole Gentile, as we discuss the subtle energy bodies from an evidence based, scientific perspective. The subtle energy bodies include and are not limited to the physical body, the esthetic body, the emotional body, the mental body and the spiritual body. The Hindu Chakras, the Incan Pukios, and other definitions of our “energy centers” arise from the subtle body. Energy Healers can perceive changes in the chakras at different depths which translate to physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual meaning for the individual. These are all located within your auric field. We are all made of energy and information, and we are just as easily effected by energy, information, and forces that act in a quantum field. From our DNA to our cells - Our neurotransmitters to our spirits - and everything in between and around us. All is one and all perspectives belong to a larger view. Whatever title you may ascribe to it. If you’re interested in working more with energy, check out Kris Van Genderen’s page, https://www.ceremonial.life/ and learn about how mantra and Breathwork can upgrade your life!

  • Part 1: Setting the Scene for Energy Work

    Part 1: Setting the Scene for Energy Work
    Nov 24 2022
    Somewhere in your life, you’ve undoubtedly come across the term “chakras” which mean wheels of light, or energy. You might have assumed that the idea of energy centers arise only from Hindu spirituality, but you’d be wrong. In fact, the energy body has been recognized globally by ancient belief systems throughout time predating the Vedas and Upanishads. And an understanding of energy as it relates to spirituality is also rampant throughout the Christian Bible. Energy systems are a fundamental part of Quantum Physics. And similar understandings have arisen in cultures from all corners of the world throughout time. And if you’re just stumbling across this, now, it’s time for you to become aware of your own energy bodies. And begin to learn what this means for you: your health, your fulfillment and your reality.
