The ‘Hero of n-Lorem’ Award is a recognition given to an individual volunteer or organization that has made substantial contributions to n-Lorem and our nano-rare patients. This honor recognizes our ‘unsung heroes’, those who have gone the extra mile, taken time away from their schedules and families and leveraged their expertise and contacts to support n-Lorem’s mission to provide hope and potential help to nano-rare patients. On this episode of the Patient Empowerment Program podcast, we welcome three of our five 2025 Heroes for a conversation about their inspiration to take action:
- Wendy Erler, Senior Vice President, Patient Affairs, Sarepta Therapeutics
- Richard S. Geary, Ph.D., Chief Development Officer, Executive Vice President of Development, Ionis Pharmaceuticals
- Scott Henry, Ph.D., DABT, SVP, Nonclinical Development, Ionis Pharmaceuticals

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
