Rush University

My name is Sarah Song.

I'm a stroke neurologist here at Rush University in Chicago, and my favorite job is I'm the editor-in-chief of Brain & Life, soon to be brainhealth.com.

Over the past few years, the AAN has definitely taken a clear and very intentional position.

Brain health is part of the central nervous system of our academy.

I'm Mark Abel, Professor of Family Medicine at Michigan State University.

I'm Kate Rowland, Family Physician and Associate Professor at Rush University.

I'm Gary Forenchik, General Internist and Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University.

I'm Henry Barry, a skeptical family physician and one of the originators of poems.

And that was truly created, um, for neurodegenerative delay.

And it was created in 2015 by nutritional epidemiologist, Dr. Martha Claire Morris and colleagues at Rush University and at Harvard.

Okay.

They were trying to look at specific foods and nutrients in both diets that actually had research behind them for brain function.

And so even though we might see data that shows, oh, this therapy is working well or even better than CBT, and we've got four trials or so showing that, There's still a number of people who don't get much better.

I'm in the midst of a large clinical trial right now that I'm co-PI with John Burns of Rush University.

And we're doing a hundred people are getting an EAT, a hundred are getting CBT, a hundred are getting ACT, and a hundred are getting treatment as usual care.

And this is being done with psychologists, doctoral psychologists who are giving eight sessions of these therapies.

Today, my guest is Dr. Sasha McBain.

She is an associate professor at Rush University, a clinical psychologist, and she's also the contributor for pathologizing pop culture at the Hippocratic Collective.

So thank you so much for being here.

Thanks for having me.

Hi, I'm Henry Berry, a family physician and one of the originators of POEMs.

So how do you view that in terms of your day-to-day clinical practice?

You know, I think coming out from training, I, I trained at Rush University, coming out, we like to say that we're evidence-based practicing doctors.

Mm-hmm.

Right? But I think a lot of that, what we learn from medical school and, and residency training is probably the, the, the concepts that are passed down to us from our, from our mentors from before.
