Science, Strategy and Humility in Drug Development | Dr. Karson Kump
This week on the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss speaks with Dr. Karson Kump of Aditum Bio, an organization focused on advancing treatments for unmet medical needs by guiding programs through development with a disciplined, data-driven approach.Dave opens the discussion by explaining how business development in life sciences is really about resource allocation. Scientists often follow what interests them, but companies must stay focused on what patients actually need and where the biggest gaps in medicine still exist.Karson shares how spending enough time in science humbles you. He explains that good decisions come from yielding to the science and letting objective data lead the way. At the same time, choosing to take a program outside your own company and into the world of partnerships can feel risky, even though it may be the best path forward.The conversation ends with Dave reflecting on ego, humility and delegation. In a field filled with smart, driven people, he has learned that real success comes from knowing when to step back and let someone who is better at a specific task take the lead.Thank you to our sponsorsBioHive: https://www.biohive.comGalvan: https://galvan.sng.link/D4mh8/oe8k/littFollow Good Medicine PodcastInsta: https://www.instagram.com/good.medicine.podcast/ X: https://x.com/GoodMedicinePod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@good.medicine.podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/goodmedicinepodcast/

What Your Fat Is Telling Your Brain | Dr. David and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss
This week on the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss and Dr. Jeremiah Bearss explore what fat is actually communicating to your brain and why the body often fights against weight loss.Jeremiah explains how the body is wired to hold onto fat as a survival mechanism. Fat storage has always been the backup plan for famine, injury, and cold, which means the body’s default mode is to protect those reserves in case something goes wrong.Dave discusses how inflammation influences this process. When the body is inflamed, fat can send signals to the brain that increase appetite and encourage the body to store even more fat. Reducing inflammation can help reverse that signal and make it easier to lose weight and keep it off.They also talk about the many different GLP-1 targets currently being explored and why inflammation may be the reason these drugs work for so many people. Jeremiah explains how the next phase of drug development and health innovation will likely focus on shifting the course of the obesity crisis.Thank you to our sponsorsBioHive: https://www.biohive.comGalvan: https://galvan.sng.link/D4mh8/oe8k/littFollow Good Medicine PodcastInsta: https://www.instagram.com/good.medicine.podcast/ X: https://x.com/GoodMedicinePod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@good.medicine.podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/goodmedicinepodcast/
