If I Could Change One Thing

SDSU School of Public Health Podcast

About the Podcast

Our podcast seeks to explore Health Policy – locally, regionally, nationally and even internationally. There are podcasts for medicine and health, and podcasts for policy. But until this podcast, none have been devoted to discussing solely health policy.

Since the podcast is created at a California public university, it will deal with many issues affecting Californians. But since the work of the faculty and students spans the globe, it will allow for educating the public about the great impact that the School of Public Health has in communities around the world.

Our team hopes to provide clarity to many issues, shed light on decision making and provide timely consideration of key issues affecting not only Californians but any listener.

Latest Episode

If I Could Change One Thing host Dr. Brittnie Bloom and co-host Lesley Lopez welcome Robert Browning and Sheva Carr to the podcast for a conversation on heart intelligence, healing, and human caring. As Co-Directors of Healthcare and Senior Master Trainers at HeartMath, Robert and Sheva bring more than three decades of experience working in healthcare, education, public policy, and global peacebuilding. Their work spans major health systems including Kaiser Permanente, Stanford, and the VA, as well as global initiatives with the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Together, they explore how heart-based practices can strengthen resilience, prevent burnout, support trauma-sensitive care, and cultivate sustainable leadership in times of crisis and change. From healthcare systems to global policy reform, they share how cultivating physiological coherence and heart-centered awareness can transform individual well-being as well as institutions and communities. This conversation covers how emotional regulation, hope, and leadership can reshape healthcare, mental health, and public health systems. Whether you’re a student, clinician, policymaker, or even someone who is just seeking steadiness in uncertain times, this episode offers practical tools and insight into caring for ourselves while caring for others.
