CMO's Industry Roundup: Urolithin A, Fibermaxxing and Pharma's D2P Play

CMO's Industry Roundup: Urolithin A, Fibermaxxing and Pharma's D2P Play

This episode of the Root Cause Medicine Podcast features host Dr. Kate Kresge, ND in conversation with Dr. Jeff Gladd, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Fullscript and an integrative primary care physician. Together, they unpack three timely topics for whole-person clinicians: emerging human data on urolithin A as a mitophagy-activating postbiotic that may support mitochondrial function and immune aging; how to help patients engage with the “fiber maxing” trend in a safe, sustainable way that supports metabolic health, GI function, and diet adherence; and a new industry survey showing that 94% of pharma leaders are running or exploring direct-to-patient (DTP) programs, with implications for GLP-1 therapy access, continuity of care, and the clinician’s central role in guiding treatment decisions.

Health or Hype? Running Myths

Health or Hype? Running Myths

In this “Health or Hype” rapid-fire episode, Dr. Kate Kresge teams up with Dr. Chris Sands, DPT, OCS, and Dr. Gabe Kresge, DPT, to sort running fact from fiction. They break down why strength training rarely “bulks up” runners and more often boosts efficiency, why single-leg strength better reflects the true demands of running than squats alone, and why minimalist shoes (and cushioning) should be chosen based on individual capacity and a gradual transition. They also address joint health—explaining why moderate, well-programmed running isn’t automatically “wear and tear”—and close with a practical prevention message: running assessments can catch issues before pain starts, and most injuries trace back to training load and under-recovery more than biomechanics.

The Modern Running Assessment with Kinetic PT

The Modern Running Assessment with Kinetic PT

This episode of the Root Cause Medicine Podcast explores the Modern Running Assessment, an evidence-informed, data-driven framework for evaluating runners’ biomechanics, load tolerance, and performance capacity. Host Dr. Kate Kresge interviews Dr. Chris Sands, DPT, OCS, and Dr. Gabe Kresge, DPT, from Kinetic Physical Therapy to examine how modern tools—dynamometry, force plate testing, slow-motion gait analysis, cadence and vertical oscillation metrics, and single-leg endurance testing—provide objective information that visual observation alone may miss. These measurable insights help clinicians better understand strength-to-body-weight ratios, inter-limb asymmetries, foot-strike loading patterns, and fatigue-related movement changes, offering a clearer picture of the factors that may influence running efficiency, durability, and injury risk.

CMO’s Industry Roundup: Saffron, Grip Strength and the ACC

CMO’s Industry Roundup: Saffron, Grip Strength and the ACC

We’re launching a new series that brings the insights that Fullscript Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jeff Gladd normally shares only with our internal team—now open to the entire integrative and functional medicine community. This month, Dr. Gladd breaks down three emerging clinical priorities with immediate relevance to whole-person care. He covers why the American College of Cardiology is now recommending high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) for universal cardiovascular screening, how grip strength paired with BMI is outperforming traditional biomarkers in predicting metabolic decline and all-cause mortality risk, and what new evidence tells us about saffron as supportive care for patients experiencing SSRI-related sexual side effects.

Breakthrough Evidence for Lithium in Alzheimer’s and Mental Health Treatment

Breakthrough Evidence for Lithium in Alzheimer’s and Mental Health Treatment

James Greenblatt explores the evolving science of low-dose lithium as a neuroprotective intervention — highlighting its potential to prevent, slow, and even reverse cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. He emphasizes that safe, nutritional lithium (2-10 mg) can support brain health by reducing neuroinflammation, promoting neuroregeneration, and stabilizing mood—without the risks associated with pharmaceutical doses. Clinicians are encouraged to assess lithium status through hair mineral analysis, monitor thyroid and kidney function, and consider environmental and dietary influences on endogenous lithium levels. By integrating low-dose lithium into a comprehensive, individualized care plan—including lifestyle modifications and targeted testing—practitioners can leverage this simple mineral to support mental clarity, impulsivity regulation, and long-term cognitive resilience.
