Episode 18 – How to eat better for the planet


Brannon
So you ve been a nutrition researcher for quite some time. I first got to know you when you were studying food access, specifically food deserts in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina. What prompted you to explore climate change in food?
Rose
As a food security expert, I got invited to a National Academies workshop a number of years back. And it was one of these crazy things where they put us in a room with a bunch of other folks from different disciplines, including ecologists and sustainability systems people, and gave us a challenge. We had a challenge to think about what the future of food security would be and what the impact for sustainability would be. And, and so I spent two days with these people, like working on a problem and doing cocktails and dinners and the whole thing. And at the end of that I started getting interested in the whole idea about sustainable diets. And that sort of led, one thing led to the next, and here I am all these years later ....

Episode 16 – COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy


Brannon
As of mid-February, the CDC says of those who have received the first dose of vaccine, nearly two-thirds were white, about 63%, and 6% were Black. Now the CDC only has demographics for about half of those who ve gotten the vaccine so far. Did those statistics surprise you at all?
LaVeist
Not really. I mean, there are several challenges here. Really three challenges that that we ve been facing. One is that there just isn t enough vaccine. So just having enough to meet the demand has been a problem. Determining exactly how to allocate that between the nursing homes and outside of nursing homes has been an issue because we do have some excess in the nursing homes, but not enough to really meet the demand outside. So that s one issue. The other issue we have is that the vaccine distribution locations that you would normally use – hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, things like that – those facilities are not equally distributed throughout the country. And the count ....

Episode 15 – A nation of lonely hearts: Cardiovascular health in a pandemic


Welcome to Tulane University s
On Good Authority podcast. I m your host, Keith Brannon. It goes without saying that this past year hasn t been easy. The pandemic has added all kinds of new stressors and uncertainties to everyday life. To cope, many of us are turning to comfort food, maybe drinking more alcohol and binge-watching Netflix. We re also collectively more isolated. All told, these changes could have lasting impacts on our health, especially our hearts.
Keith Ferdinand
We have an increase in hormones in the body called the fight or flight hormones. It s the same thing that happens when we had, a wild animal would attack us, where your heart rate would go up, your blood pressure would go up, you start to perspire. Here with coronavirus, there s no line. There s no wild animal. But there s something out there that s lurking, and it causes a constant fear of being exposed. So that stress becomes omnipresent. ....

Episode 13 – The 15 White Coats


Faith Dawson
Let s consider for a minute physicians, patients and race. Evidence suggests that when doctors and patients share the same race or ethnicity, it improves time spent together, medication adherence and other factors. It can also dramatically affect outcomes of birth to Black mothers. Now, you two are at the beginning of your medical training, how has being a Black medical student influenced your understanding of the needs of the community?
Sydney Labat
I think that s that s probably a multifaceted question. From the standpoint of being a student and being in the hospital and interacting directly with patients, you can definitely see the change in a patient’s attitude, the change in the way a patient feels when the provider team walks in the room, they see someone who looks like them. Particularly I can talk about one experience in which I was on one of my rotations and I had a patient who ended up trusting me very much and, and when I had a day off, my res ....
