<p>In Episode 14 of the Jack Westin Podcast, Mike and Molly break down everything you need to know about fluid dynamics within the respiratory and cardiovascular systems for the MCAT.You'll learn how real-world physics—like Boyle’s Law and pressure gradients—directly impact lung ventilation, gas exchange, and blood circulation across the body.</p><p><br></p><p>✅ Understand the "why" behind O₂ intake and CO₂ removal (and how biochemistry plays a role)</p><p>✅ Master the mechanics of inspiration and expiration (and why breathing isn't just about air!)</p><p>✅ Learn how ventilators work and apply these concepts clinically</p><p>✅ Break down heart flow circuitry (Right Atrium → Lungs → Left Atrium → Body) without memorizing</p><p>✅ Debunk common myths about blood pressure in capillaries and veins</p><p><br></p><p>💡 PLUS: Real clinical connections to motivate your studying—including how abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) develop, and why vein valves are critical for blood return.</p><p><br></p><p>This is the kind of critical thinking and systems-level understanding the MCAT demands—and we’ll show you how to master it.</p><p><br></p><p>Want to learn more?

<p>Ever felt lost in a philosophical CARS passage about art, symbolism, or abstract metaphors? Today’s workshop is exactly what you need. In this Jack Westin CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Jack and Molly work through a challenging passage about the "Mother Mound," unpacking the complex ideas and hidden reasoning the MCAT loves to test.</p><p><br></p><p>Click here for the passage: https://jackwestin.com/daily/mcat-practice-passages/cars-practice-passages/mother-mound</p><p><br></p><p>✅ Learn how to decode symbolism and focus on the author’s deeper purpose.</p><p>✅ See how to stay grounded even when the language gets flowery or confusing.</p><p>✅ Practice identifying main ideas and logical flow in dense, abstract writing.</p><p>✅ Build the mental endurance to tackle the hardest CARS passages with confidence.</p><p><br></p><p>💬 Jack and Molly demonstrate live how 129+ scorers read, think, and approach abstract passages — without second-guessing or overthinking.</p><p><br></p><p>If philosophical or literary CARS passages usually throw you off, this workshop will show you how to approach them strategically—and come out ahead on test day.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you're just starting your CARS prep or fine-tuning for the real MCAT, this workshop will give you practical tools to think faster, stay calm, and answer smarter.</p><p><br></p><p>Want to learn more?
