Many thanks to David Hirsch, author of "21st Century Dads: A Father's Journey to Break the Cycle of Father Absence" and several other books.

Many thanks to Frank Forencich, author of "Activism is Medicine," for appearing on this episode of "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

Frank suffered a multitude of childhood illnesses and immune disorders, which subsided after he discovered sports in high school. Witnessing the positive changes to his health, he became passionate about fitness, "the body, movement, and exercise." He devoted significant energy to martial arts, obtaining Black Belts in Aikido and Karate. Frank espouses the importance of "spirit" and "journey" as well as "destination" when tackling large-scale problems like climate change and threats to biodiversity.

Frank studied human biology at Stanford University. His interest in human evolution led to a trip to Africa to visit the "ancestral environment" of human beings. These experiences formed the backdrop for his book, "Activism in Medicine."

Many thanks to Daniel Barvin, MBA, for joining me on the "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

My good friend Michael Weisberg, MD, introduced us. I interviewed Mike on Episode #14 about his second novel, "In the End."

Daniel has an important story to tell. His family has been affected multiple times by genes that cause ALS and dementia. This first-hand experience prompted Daniel to focus his work on ALS education and advocacy. Daniel is the Co-Founder of Endthelegacy.org, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals at risk for familial ALS.

Daniel is also the Vice President of Operations and Patient Advocacy at Coya Therapeutics, a new company that hopes to find treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and dementia. Dr. Stanley Appel's research on neuroinflammation inspired the therapeutic direction of Coya Therapeutics. Dr. Appel has been actively caring for ALS patients for decades.

Many thanks to Robert J. Wolf, MD, for joining me on this episode of "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner."

Dr. Wolf is a practicing neuroradiologist and author of “Not a Real Enemy,” an historical narrative based on his father’s remarkable experiences as a Hungarian Jew before, during, and after the Nazi Occupation. Wolf’s Grandfather and Grandmother, like almost another half-million Hungarian Jews, were imprisoned by the Nazi’s and died at the infamous prison camp Auschwitz. His father narrowly escaped and eventually had a successful OB-GYN practice in the USA, delivering 10,000 children!

During our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Wolf tells us about his parents, the detailed notes they left of their lives, and how he came to write this compelling, historically accurate, biography of his father’s harrowing and courageous exploits.

Many thanks to Yoshihiro Katsuura, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in San Francisco. Yoshi is also the author and illustrator of the new patient education book, "The Spine Encyclopedia: Everything You've Wanted to Know about Back and Neck Pain But Were Afraid to Ask."

Yoshi describes himself as a "reluctant surgeon." Before recommending a surgical procedure, Dr. Katsuura closely examines each patient's story, exam findings, and imaging to determine whether or not they will benefit from surgery.

To help educate his patients, Yoshi wrote a series of pamphlets about specific spine problems. Eventually, these turned into "The Spine Encyclopedia." A hefty tome, it's not meant to be read cover to cover but rather as a reference for patients who may suffer from neck or back pain and are considering a surgical solution.

During our 30-minute discussion, Yoshi also offered some invaluable advice on work/life balance and how to avoid burnout.

To arrange a consultation with Dr. Katsuura, visit his website: https://www.katsuuramd.com/

You can find Yoshi's book on Amazon.
