Are cancer detecting blood tests finally ready for real world use? Dr. Dean Mitchell sits down with Dr. Eric Klein, a distinguished scientist at GRAIL and former Cleveland Clinic chair, to walk through the promise and the limits of the Galleri multi cancer early detection blood test. They break down how the test looks for cancer related DNA using methylation patterns, why it can often predict where a cancer started, and what happens next if a cancer signal is detected. You’ll also hear how Galleri fits alongside standard screenings like mammograms, colonoscopy, PSA, and Cologuard, plus a clear explanation of sensitivity versus positive predictive value and why false positives matter. They also explore who may benefit most from testing, why age is the biggest risk factor, what the real false positive rate looks like, and how long a negative result may offer peace of mind.

Join Dr. Dean Mitchell on The Smartest Doctor In The Room as he sits down with chronic Lyme expert Dr. Richard Horowitz to explore why Lyme disease can be so difficult to diagnose and treat. Dr. Horowitz shares the history of Lyme disease, explains why standard antibiotic treatments often fall short, and breaks down the science behind biofilms, persistent infections, and chronic inflammation.

The conversation addresses the controversy around Lyme testing, why blood work alone can miss the diagnosis, and how Lyme is ultimately a clinical diagnosis. Dr. Horowitz also introduces his MSIDS model, a comprehensive framework that examines multiple drivers of chronic illness including coinfections, immune dysfunction, gut health, and environmental factors.

This episode offers clarity, insight, and hope for anyone struggling with chronic Lyme disease, post treatment Lyme disease, or complex chronic conditions that do not respond to conventional care.

Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms patients experience, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of The Smartest Doctor In The Room, Dr. Dean Mitchell is joined by neurologist and dizziness specialist Dr. Amir Kheradmand to explain what dizziness really means, why it is so difficult to diagnose, and when it may signal a more serious condition.

The conversation breaks down the key differences between dizziness, vertigo, and lightheadedness, why medications like meclizine are often outdated, and how careful history taking and eye movement exams can help determine whether symptoms are coming from the inner ear or the brain. Dr. Kheradmand also discusses vestibular migraine, stroke risk, chronic dizziness, medication side effects, and why CT scans frequently fail to identify the true cause.

This episode offers clear guidance for patients seeking answers and valuable insight for clinicians looking to improve how dizziness is evaluated and treated.
