Rick Pescatore, D.O.

Speaking

I give talks for medical conferences, health systems, industry events, and general audiences. Recent engagements include a panel on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome at MJ Unpacked in New York, May 2026.

Topics

  • The gut-brain axis in clinical practice

    For clinicians, GI and emergency medicine audiences. What disorders of gut-brain interaction are, why they are missed, and what the Rome framework changes.

  • Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome: what the evidence says

    For clinicians, the cannabis industry, and policy audiences. Recognition, harm reduction, and honest communication about an under-diagnosed condition.

  • Thiamine: the deficiency medicine forgot

    For clinicians and nutrition science audiences. What a hundred-year-old vitamin still explains about modern symptoms.

  • Leading public health through crisis

    For health systems, government, and leadership audiences. Lessons from running a state medical response during COVID-19.

  • Evidence, uncertainty, and misinformation

    For medical education and general audiences. How clinicians should read the literature, and how the public should read clinicians.
