    Encore: Moderation Kills — Columbus Batiste on Blood Pressure Foods
    Oct 28 2026
    Columbus Batiste’s father ran a health food store in the ’70s. He juiced carrots. He sold herbs. He loved sweets and diet soda, and he died from complications of diabetes. That loss turned Columbus into an interventional cardiologist into a lifestyle medicine expert. Today he is Regional Chief of Cardiology for Southern California Permanente Medical Group, co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation, and author of SELFISH: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing a Broken Heart. We cover:
    • Why “everything in moderation” only gets applied to things we shouldn’t eat
    • The hibiscus tea, greens, garlic, berries and beets he reaches for to support blood pressure
    • Why your mouthwash habit matters
    • How he teaches whole-food cooking to patients with a hot plate and a 400-square-foot apartment
    Originally aired May 2026. New episodes weekly.

In this July 15, 2026 conversation, Madeline talks with Resa about what empathy taught her about leadership, why children need advocates who will speak for them in rooms where policy gets made. She also shares the list she wrote to herself before her first day as CEO: what she wanted to be true when she left. ▶ Subscribe @resaelewissmd — new episodes Wednesdays. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Brad Johnson & David Smith: Caregiving Is a Leadership Issue
    Oct 21 2026

Brad Johnson is a clinical psychologist and Professor Emeritus of leadership, ethics, and law at the U.S. Naval Academy. Together they wrote Athena Rising and Good Guys. Their newest book, Fair Share, finishes the trilogy with a harder argument: individual allyship isn’t enough. The system has to change. Website: https://www.workplaceallies.com/ We talk about why men get pressured to skip parental leave, why managers make or break every benefit you offer, the “fifth trimester” of returning to work, and an ice cream company that built care into its business model. They also share their own caregiving stories including as grandparents. ▶ Subscribe @resaelewissmd on YouTube — new episodes Wednesdays. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

  • David Wilkes: What Happens When the Physician Scientist Pipeline Runs Dry

    David Wilkes: What Happens When the Physician Scientist Pipeline Runs Dry
    Sep 16 2026
    National Academy of Medicine member David Wilkes has spent his career on the parts of medicine that happen before a diagnosis, before a cure, before a headline: training the physician-scientists who make discoveries possible in the first place. As dean emeritus of the University of Virginia School of Medicine and CEO of the Amos Institute for Medical Faculty Development, he's carrying forward a program the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation ran for over four decades. David is a pulmonary critical care physician and renowned for his own physician scientist work in the lab. In the early 1990s, his research uncovered an autoimmune trigger behind lung transplant rejection, a finding colleagues at first dismissed as heresy — he was right, and it earned him the American Thoracic Society's highest honor: The Trudeau Medal. We talk about the difference between a mentor and a sponsor, what actually happens when a research pipeline dries up, and why training the next generation of physician-scientists might matter more than any single discovery. ▶ Subscribe @resaelewissmd on YouTube — new episodes Wednesdays. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. 🔗 AIMFD website: https://aimfd.org/

  • Gloria Steinem 2020: The Parts I Keep Coming Back To

    Gloria Steinem 2020: The Parts I Keep Coming Back To
    Sep 9 2026
    Gloria Steinem never had a workout routine. She grew up on candy bars and ice cream and called running through airports her only exercise. So when The Visible Voices Podcast host Dr. Resa Lewiss asked the feminist icon, weeks before COVID shut down New York, what actually kept her healthy, the answer surprised her: "I have friends." Gloria Steinem died September 2, 2026, at 92, in the same Upper East Side brownstone where she once sat for this conversation — the same home where Ms. magazine was founded decades earlier. Lewiss shares parts of their 2020 conversation which she keeps coming back to: A Visible Voice: How Steinem didn't feel she had a voice until her late thirties, Positive Social Connection: What she said actually kept her healthy, Storytelling: Why she believed physicians are uniquely positioned to speak up, and The Truth Will Set You Free: the clear answer she gave when asked what to tell someone afraid to use their voice. ▶ Subscribe @resaelewissmd new episodes Wednesdays on YouTube. 🎙️ Search "The Visible Voices Podcast" on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
