PSALM 38 A psalm of David. A petition. 1 LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. 2 Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. 6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning. 7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. 8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. 9 All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. 10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. 11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. 12 Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie. 13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak; 14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. 15 LORD, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God. 16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.” 17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. 19 Many have become my enemies without cause ; those who hate me without reason are numerous. 20 Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good. 21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. 22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior. FROM THE LESSON The penitential psalms : These are the psalms of repentance. There are seven of them in the Psalter: Psalm 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143 Four characteristics of repentance: A - Ask for His correction with mercy (verse 1) B - Bring it all to Him (verse 9) C - Convicted by your sin (verse 18) D - Desperate for His help (verses 21-22) Four areas David brought to the Lord: 1 the iniquity caused by his sin 2 the ill effects caused by his sin 3 the isolation felt because of his sin 4 the injustice experienced because of his sin A person of repentance: "I don't want to be known as a person who has made a difference,  I want to be known as a person who has been made different." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Do you have a testimony or story from your life about repentance that you can share with the group? 1. How do you feel about the prayer, "Correct me, Lord"? Read verse 1 again. David is not asking the Lord to not correct him, he is asking the Lord to correct him with mercy. Discuss the difference with your group. 2 The sermon highlighted all of the different areas that David brought to the Lord (each one begins with "my" - ie. my sin, my guilt, my heart). Read verse 9 again. David is bringing "all" of these areas to the Lord. How does his example encourage you? 3 Read verse 18. We must not only confess our sin with our mouths, we must also be convicted by our sin in our hearts. Discuss the importance of both of these responses to our sin.  4 Read verses 21 and 22. What do you hear in David's voice? Do you sense his desperation and his urgency? When are the times when you need the Lord's help most in your life?

In this episode of Make Business Personal, Kiley Peters, founder of RAYNE IX, talks about getting clear on your target audience and how it is crucial for business success. Without a clear target audience, you waste time, energy, and money. Understanding your target audience helps you identify the problems you solve for them and create the best solutions. It goes beyond demographics and focuses on their values, motivators, and decision-making processes. Kiley introduces the ABCDs framework (Activators and values, Behaviors, Conversion triggers, and Demographics) and explains how it can help you identify your target audience. The ABCDs Framework 3:14Conversion Triggers 9:41Recommended Resources 16:42Quotes “What we really need to understand are what people call their psychographics. So essentially their values, their motivators, their activators, all of that really tells us how they think and how they make decisions.” 2:33“What a conversion trigger is, or how we're talking about it, is what happened that made them realize they need to come find you or someone like you. They're now going to Google to search for somebody like you. So what happened that made them need to do that?” 9:49“Once you think you have your target audience, what I want you to do is go out and I want you to validate that.

Dr Berkowitz: This is Dr. Aaron Berkowitz. Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Saef Izzy about his article on traumatic spinal cord disorders from the February 2024 Continuum issue on spinal cord disorders. Dr. Izzy is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and an associate neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. Welcome to the podcast, Dr. Izzy. So, let's say a patient comes to the emergency room with an acute spinal cord injury due to a car accident. Walk us through your approach. What's going through your mind when you hear this pager go off and you're walking down to the emergency room; what are you thinking? Dr Izzy: Yeah, great question. So, one of the first question is, what's the medical status of the patient? And, starting from, “How sick is the patient? (looking at the ABCD - basically, airway, breathing, circulation), make sure the patient is stable from that perspective, with the specific focus then going to be the injury level and the injury severity. And with that, once the patient is clinically stable, we try to pay very close attention to that aspect, especially since we know the patient is coming with a spinal cord injury from the prefield assessment. So, having a very close assessment to the spinal cord using a standardized tool (such as the ASIA, which is the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale) will be very helpful to communicate the level of injury to the rest of the team, which usually is going to be a multidisciplinary team approach from the emergency room into neurosurgery, neurology and other disciplines where we'll be involved. So, having a standardized tool will be a key. ASIA, as a scale - it starts with a letter “A” - and to be A when there is a complete injury, with loss of motor and sensory, and E is basically normal exam (a neuro exam with normal motor and sensory examination). And between B to D, they have some preserved voluntary anal contraction and some of the reflexes, such as the bulbocavernosus reflexes, with a various degree of motor and sensory. Having an early introduction into this scale will be super helpful to communicate with other services. Then will be the decision about who I should image, and also, whether I should clear the C-collar or not. And this is also another sort of decision making, comes into the patient mental status, the injury severity, the level of injury, as well as ability to perform a reliable neurological examination - all plays a role into this decision. In this article, we have elaborated on the clinical decision making - an approach in the acute setting - and we provided, in Figure 1, a comprehensive approach about patient we should think about imaging and what modality of imaging, as well. Dr Berkowitz: Perfect, that's so helpful. So, you're thinking through the ABCDs, as you mentioned. And then a detailed neurologic exam to get a sense of the degree of injury. And then you mentioned the decisions about imaging. Tell us a little bit about how you think about who to image, what to image, how to image, after you've done your neurologic exam. Dr Izzy: So, the imaging in general, as we know, that previously used to be an x-ray. But the recent literature really focus on utilizing the utility of high-quality CAT scans as it's provide more comprehensive characterization of vertebral fractures. And that will be very helpful to identify the level and severity of radiographic injury. However, MRI will always be superior, as it also provides the extent of the cord compression, signs of cord injury, as well as could help us rule out ligamentous injury within, especially, the first 48 hours post the event. In addition to that, we have to pay attention to a patient at risk of having vascular injuries, as many spinal cord, especially the cervical and skull-based injuries, can associate with blunt cerebrovascular injuries, which often missed in the emergency room, and even in the acute stay, as no one would have thought about that aspect. That's why, in this article, we have highlighted the role of Memphis criteria, which is a very valuable tool to identify patients at risk to be scanned. And also the Biffl Scale, which used to be known at the Denver, and modified Denver Scale, to assist classifying the level of vascular injury. Dr Berkowitz: Great. So, I want to pick up on a number of the things you mentioned there. So, let's talk about injury to the bony structures that could result in impingement on neurologic structures, such as the nerve roots or cord or cauda equina. So, Often, neurology and neurosurgery are consulted together in these patients, right? And both arrive at the bedside in the emergency room. Tell us a little bit about working with our neurosurgical colleagues to figure out who should go for surgery, what type of surgery they should go for, and the neurologist's role in helping in that decision making. Dr Izzy: I believe the neurologists have a significant role in the acute setting, especially with performing a very thorough, refined neurological examination when it comes into assessing the cranial nerve, because often traumatic spinal cord injury could associate with traumatic head injury. In addition to that, perform a very thorough motor and sensory exam, with a specific look into reflexes, as well as anal reflexes. And documenting that, in conjuncture with the neurosurgery colleague, will be super helpful. We have to know that doing neurological assessment, or also relying on them, the ASIA scale is a key, but also could be confounded in the acute setting with other multisystemic events, including respiratory failure, using some pain medication, traumatic brain injury, hypotension, which all could confound the initial exam. That's why having a repeated exam for this patient throughout the hospital stay will be a key, especially when we are using some of these examination in the acute setting to guide our prognostication. Also, when it comes into the neurological assessment, looking into, not only the level of injury, but paying attention into the levels below. And documenting this exam is also a very critical aspect of assessment. One of the early decisions we share - many times when we, as neurologists, get consulted on these patients who should go to surgery, and that's a whole topic by itself discussed thoroughly in this article about the literature on a patient who should basically pursue surgery. And, one of the main highlight of the literature that, pursuing surgery in less than 24 hours has been associated with improved outcomes. Yet the literature on that still need further evaluation, especially now the most common practice that patients with worsening exam, mass effect, and epidural mass takes priority. But further studies on this area definitely require further exploration. Dr Berkowitz: Another aspect you mentioned is blunt cerebrovascular injury - so, injury to the carotid or vertebral arteries in the neck or in the skull base. So, are CT angiograms part of the standard neuroimaging now for patients with spine injury, or on a case-by-case basis, or perhaps should they be? Dr Izzy: Great question. It's not. That's why paying specific attention for a patient at risk, and that's where the Memphis screening protocol takes place. And we encourage our colleagues from neurology and neurosurgery, as well as emergency department, to try to keep this sort of screening, helpful protocol handy when approach traumatic spinal cord injury. More specifically patients, who have basilar skull fracture with involvement of the carotid canal; the one with a basilar fracture with involvement of the petrous bone; the cervical spine fracture with neurological exam that doesn't necessarily explained by imaging; having a Horner syndrome on neurological exam; fractures pattern involve LeFort II or III fractures; as well as neck soft injury; the seatbelt sign - these are all signs that could really raise the red flag that there is a possible underlying vascular injury that require evaluation by CT angiogram in the emergency room to further identify. Once we identify the vascular injury, there is another helpful and valuable score, which is the Biffl Scale, or the - what also well known to be Denver or the modified Denver. And that one will further characterize the injury from level 1 to 5, 1 involving the luminal irregularity and dissection with less than 25% luminal narrowing - that's the 1. And 2, more than 25% narrowing. The 1 and 2 carries different prognostication and management, because these two we can always think about starting antiplatelet or anticoagulation on the first two, while 3 is aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm in the artery, while 4 is occlusion or thrombosis, and 5, usually transection of the vessel, the free extravasation. Grade 3 and above, usually, medical treatment has not much of a big role and discussion with the vascular neurosurgery or neuroendovascular colleague will be super helpful. Dr Berkowitz: You started alluding to the next question I was going to ask you related to these. As neurologists are often consulted when there's vascular injury, traumatic vascular injury, about the questions of the risks and benefits of starting antiplatelets or anticoagulation. You mentioned that, in extreme cases - obviously if the vessel is transected or there's extravasation - there'll probably be great danger in starting those types of agents. But often we're consulted for the lower grades, such as a dissection or a luminal irregularity. And the question comes up, what is the extent of the benefit of antiplatelet and anticoagulation when balanced with the risk? – that these are often patients with polytrauma, not just affecting the nervous system, but often systemic organs as well. How do you balance the risk and benefit of treating these traumatic vascular injuries with antiplatelets or anticoagulation, to wanting to reduce the stroke risk related to these, on the one hand, and taking into account the extensive injuries that often accompany these? Dr Izzy: Yeah, absolutely. Very clinical relevant question. The short answer: there is no randomized clinical trials that compared antiplatelet therapy with anticoagulation, whether it's unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin, for the treatment of blunt cerebrovascular injury- not even compare the timing to start. That's why it comes into the clinical judgment when it comes to answer this question. As far as level of injury defined by Biffl Scale, Grade 1 and 2, when there is a dissection less than or more than 25%, it's reasonable to start either or. And that comes into the context of the patient. In general, most of these patient comes with other multisystemic event. Could be having a traumatic brain injury with contusion, and the size of the contusion maybe also play a role in this decision where there is risk of contusion expansion or bleeding in other parts of the body, which makes anticoagulation very critical and dangerous with these patients. Maybe starting aspirin could be reasonable and safe, as that comes into a multidisciplinary discussion with our colleague from neurosurgery, ortho (if they are involved), as well as the primary ICU team. Having a thorough discussion about the pros and cons of this decision is a key. Most specifically, it's about balancing the risks and benefits in management. When it comes into high grade (3 and above) involving pseudoaneurysm, we know that antiplatelet or anticoagulation might play a lesser role; might be beneficial to some extent (not very well studied in this cohort of patients). But having a discussion when it comes into vascular malformation involving arteriovenous fistula or near occlusion of a vessel with our neuroendovascular colleague and vascular neurosurgeon will be always a key. Just one more point to make - that if it's too risky to start in the acute setting because of other multisystemic involvement, having a repeat imaging in a few days might be also helpful in assessing the progression of the vascular injury - could also be helpful from that setting. If the patient start developing new neurological symptoms, rather than just blaming it on the cervical or thoracic spine, thinking about new-onset strokes that happen would be a key to elaborate there, as we know the duration - for how long. If we end up starting patients on anticoagulation, or antiplatelets such as aspirin, for how long we should keep it for? It's still controversial, but the common approach is to start when it's safe from clinical standpoint and consider keeping it for three to six months. And repeat follow up imaging in the outpatient setting to assess that vascular injury and determine the duration of treatment will also be a key. Dr Berkowitz: Shifting gears again here - you're involved in the acute setting here, diagnosing and managing these patients, often otherwise healthy patients who've suffered a devastating accident. How do you begin the conversation about communicating the prognosis, often probably the first question from the patient's family, “Are they going to walk again?” Obviously, a lot of factors go into this and it can be hard to prognosticate from the first moments of injury. But how do you begin to have that conversation when that question is asked for the first time, often in the emergency room? Dr Izzy: As a neural intensivist, commonly involved in the acute management of traumatic spinal cord injury patients, we try to focus on the acute management of patient, try to inform families that it's too early to provide an accurate prognostication of the long-term outcome. Especially, that the acute course of the disease could associate with so many other clinically relevant variables that could have an impact on the long-term outcome, such as respiratory failure, hypotension, in terms of neurogenic or spinal shock, in addition to rate of infections. In such acute, early, or superacute stage of the disease, there's still not much known about the correlation with the very-long-term outcomes. As I mentioned earlier, even the very first ASIA scale, the first neurological assessment could be easily confounded by many of these factors. Once we address the hypotension, treat the infection, or even try to control the respiratory failure, we have seen that might improve the neurological assessment - could be in the acute setting. That's why we try to provide the families with the clinical status of the patient and postpone any discussion on neuroprognostication until the patient in a stable clinical state and when we have a better assessment of the neurological and hemodynamic state. Dr Berkowitz: Tell us now, in closing, what does the future hold for the treatment of these patients with acute spinal cord injury? Dr Izzy: Despite all the unknowns about the course of the disease, when it comes into the long-term outcomes and the increasing rate of early and delayed mortality in this disease and poor outcome, there are many ongoing attempts to test various pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions to achieve neuroprotection and enhanced functional outcome after traumatic spinal cord injury. There are many promising attempts for transplantation of neuronal embryonic mesenteric stem cells, as well as oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Two or three clinical trials now ongoing, trying to assess the benefit for long-term outcome. The future is still optimistic that some of these initiatives might eventually transition to the bedside application and potentially leading to significant improvement in the long-term outcomes of our patient. However, many of these initiatives are still investigational but carries the hope. Our role as a clinical team - always satisfying taking care of traumatic spinal cord injury patients and their family and guide them through the journey to recovery.

Good Morning and Hello from Blooming Health Farms! Welcome to another episode of Thinking Outside The Soil, with your host Sean E. Alfalfaseed. Where I get to talk story and touch on topics about hydroponics and the farmers who grow the crops and creatures we need to eat. Today's episode is about the ABCD'S of Hydroponic Fodder. This is a term I coined that nods to the Merchants of Grain and our kindergarten caroling. Many field crops or weeds that farmers use to feed livestock are candidates for hydroponic fodder. But some crops do better than others. Seed selection is important to produce the highest quality fodder and manage your farm. This episode introduces the seven crops that will be a major part of this show - alfalfa, barley, corn, cowpea, clover, duckweed, and sunflower. These seven major crops are used in field cultivation and are commonly used for animal feedstuffs. Based on the published data, we will discuss the availability, yield, water use efficiency, and nutritional value of hydroponic fodder versus field forage. So, what should you grow for your animals? Well, you grow what you already know and buy for your animals. That could be the forage seed you plant and pasture. Or it could be the hayseed or grain you harvest. Seed selection will largely depend on the animals you raise.

Failure in life is inevitable, we all experience failure in different ways. Reframing failure is a great way to work through the struggles we experience in life. Today we discuss how we can Fall Up and make the most of those situations that become a struggle in our lives. And as educators we make sure to talk about the ABCDs of Falling Up!

In his Life Principles Bible, Dr. Charles Stanley's Life Principle #28 is no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith. As God-centered entrepreneurs, our lives include our businesses, therefore, this principle applies to business too. Still, when I talk to Christian women in business, I find a gap exists in having a Godly community around us. We crave a community that provides what I call the fundamental ABCs (and a D) for building a God-centered business: Accountability - to keep us accountable to God's assignment and the action He gives us to take. Belonging - to give us a place where we belong with others that understand how to do business His way. Connection - to provide a safe and encouraging space to share our challenges and celebrations. Discernment - to help us strengthen our discernment of God's Word and wisdom for our business. This month we're digging into the power of community to provide each of these fundamentals and what the Bible has to say about it. So if you've been feeling alone in your business, rest assured that is not God's plan for you! PS It's not too late to plan your first 90 days of 2022! Grab my free 90-Day tool at erinharrigan.com/90DayTool This episode is brought to you by The ROOTED Group Coaching Membership! In my conversations with Christian business women, I discovered a gap beyond the usual coaching, strategic and tactical support, and that gap is community. We need accountability, belonging, connection and discernment...because pursuing success God's way looks different than the world's way, and we need a community to keep us ROOTED in His purpose for our business! The ROOTED Group Coaching Membership fills this gap! God made us for community, and ROOTED is the community tailor made for accountability, supporting commitment and consistency, and a safe space for learning from and sharing with others. This membership is made for you, and it includes the self-paced Hustle with Heart Digital Course! Learn more at erinharrigan.com/ROOTED.

How Poor Metabolic Health Allows Covid-19 to Hijack Our System | This episode is brought to you by HigherDOSE and BiOptimzers.When we think about Covid-19 and our health and well-being, there are many factors to consider. It's not just about the general idea of immunity; we need to understand that multiple processes within the body can either make us more resilient against or more susceptible to this specific virus. Metabolic health is a big part of this. When we look at who is most vulnerable to Covid-19, we see that among the immuno-compromised and elderly there is also a population with major metabolic risk factors. That means insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, and more. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Ronesh Sinha about the key areas we can focus on to optimize our metabolic health and how they specifically relate to decreasing our risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19.Dr. Sinha, author of The South Asian Health Solution, is an internal medicine physician who runs a lifestyle clinic in Silicon Valley focused on reversing insulin resistance in ethnically diverse patients. He is also an expert in corporate wellness and serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Silicon Valley Employer Forum where he serves as a global adviser to shape health benefits for over 55 major Silicon Valley companies. His groundbreaking work in corporate wellness and raising awareness about insulin resistance in the Asian population has received global attention with front cover stories in Fortune Magazine and the LA Times. Dr. Sinha blogs actively on health at culturalhealthsolutions.com and recently launched the Meta Health podcast where he uses creative storytelling to teach listeners about health and metabolism. In this episode, we dive into: -How metabolic health relates to Covid-19 (9:21) -What is metabolic health (13:24)-How Covid-19 can hijack metabolic health (15:41)-How poor metabolic health and insulin resistance can make someone more likely to get Covid-19 (19:57)-Vaccination and severe Covid-19 risk (22:21)-Children, metabolic health, and Covid-19 (31:12)-The ABCDS to better metabolic health (42:28)-Lab tests for metabolic health (1:02:05) Also mentioned in this episode:-Free Covid-19 Survival Guide - https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/covid-19-resources/-A Grim Warning from Israel: Vaccination Blunts, but Does Not Defeat Delta https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta-Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among Adults Hospitalized with Covid Study - https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm-Deaths in Children and Adolescents Associated With Covid-19 and MIS-C in the United States - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385349/ -NPR article about citizen scientist - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/08/06/1025553638/how-a-gay-community-helped-the-cdc-spot-a-covid-outbreak-and-learn-more-about-de For more on Dr. Ronesh you can follow him on Instagram @roneshsinhamd, on Facebook @southasiansolution, on Twitter @roneshsinha, on YouTube @roneshsinha, and through his website https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/.

While it's natural to be over-impacted by the present experience, it seems like we are living in a transformative moment in world history. While there have been clear signs for decades of spiritual compromise in the church and moral decay in the country, and while Christians know what the end of the Book says about the coming godless globalism, events of the past year have made great strides toward that destination. Whether it's government consolidation of power with COVID, false accusation of racism for anyone who opposes the mainstream perspective, a potentially stolen presidential election, and a new administration imposing everything against God and traditional America, many Christians are suffering from a case of the ABCDs. Anxiety or Anger about what is taking place. Bitterness over what has become of our country Confusion over what the truth is election fraud Discouragement or Despair for the future. Just us this week on The Christian Worldview as we discuss overcoming ABCD with RSTUV!

On this episode, I interview Sree, one of the four co-founders of SASMHA (South Asian Sexual & Mental Health Alliance). This organization created a popular Instagram account @southasiansmh which made a post that stated "If you are Desi American and your family immigrated here after 1965, you owe that to the Civil Rights Movement". In this interview, we explore how Desi Americans benefited from the Civil Rights movements and address anti-blackness in the South Asian community.

I’m your host, Dr. Berry Pierre, your favorite Board Certified Internist. Founder of drberrypierre.com and as well as Pierre Medical Consulting. Helping you empower yourself for better health with the number one podcast for patient advocacy. This week we bring you an episode with Dr. Candrice Heath, who is an amazing person and most importantly is going to be talking to us about skin cancer. And you know, just to kind of caveat before we get into her bio and how amazing this person is. For those who may be listening, especially Lunch and Learn community. I've kind of referenced this before on a previous episode where we talked about skin cancer. I felt like this time I wanted to bring an expert and kind of get their expert opinion on to disorder, right? And if you want to know why this topic is so important, we're actually in skin cancer awareness month and when we talk about the number of cases of skin cancer that occur per year, it outnumbers the number of cases of lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer combined, right? So it's an extremely important topic that I think a lot of times doesn't really get the fan fair especially because a lot of times when we think about dermatology tend to think about the aesthetic aspect of dermatology. But we really don't think about the fact that they are really in high demand when it comes to pathology and disease process and education, which is why I felt, you know what, let me bring this amazing guest here. And again. I just want to kind of read her bio just so you guys can understand, how important and how specialized this person is, Dr. Heath. She is a highly respected dermatologist. She's board-certified in Dermatology, Pediatrics and Pediatric Dermatology. And ladies and gentlemen, I mean she is triple certified in her specialty, right? Just so you can guys can get an idea of how amazing, especially she is. She got her undergrad degree at Wake Forest University. Her medical degree at the University of Virginia and her pediatric training at Emory. And then she ended up getting her dermatology training at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City. She was elected to achieve dermatology resident during her final year of training and she went on to serve a role at John Hopkins University, Department of Dermatology. And as well as a pediatric dermatology fellow as well as a dermatology instructor. If you didn't get that right, just understand that this is definitely a very highly specialized person that we're bringing onto the podcast, really to educate the Lunch and Learn community. And most importantly, and this is what I love. She’s the founder of My Sister's Beauty, the official skincare line of the woman of color and founder of a vibrant online community associated with skincare and beauty tips for women of color. So amazing person, Dr. Candrice Heath. Again, she is a personal friend of mine as well. And she has blessed us with the opportunity to talk to us today just about skin cancer. And really, you know, what we should be thinking about when it comes to skin health, right? Because I think when we talk about empowering ourselves for better health, right? We got to understand that the whole body has to be working in unison, right? And I think a lot of times we forget about the skin. Again, I talked about the numbers, more cancer cases worldwide and the majority of these cancers put together. So you know, ladies and gentlemen, get ready an amazing episode. Again, I have Dr. Candrice Heath and we're going to be talking about skin cancer and skin cancer awareness. If you have not had a chance, remember, subscribe to the podcast, leave me a five-star review. And you know, when we leave the links for Dr. Candrice, go ahead and follow her and let her know how she did an amazing job this week. Episode Dr. Berry: All right, Lunch and Learn community. Again, thank you for joining us for another amazing episode. Again, this month being, you know, skin cancer awareness month. I was thinking long and hard and I said, you know, who can I get to really educate you to get us on far, to get us, get those bad thoughts that really shouldn't be in our mindset when we talk about skin cancer but really educated us and you know, kind of go through a lot of the fluff that I know that's out there. So of course if you listened to the bio, you know, we have Dr. Candrice here who is an amazing person in general. This is just an amazing person, an amazing physician. And I was just glad that, you know, she was able to give us some time to talk to us today, Dr. Candrice thank you. Dr. Candrice: Oh, thank you so much for having me today, Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry: We did a little bit of your bio in the introduction, but you know, for people who may not know you and you know, this is their kind of first entry into your world. Who is our Dr. Candrice? How are you going to get us together today? Especially when we talk about this discussion of skin cancer that even when I was doing like, you know, the little research that I did on skin cancer, I didn't realize how serious it was. Still the people a little bit about you that, you know, they may not have gotten from your bio, but you know, they will get, just have to listen to this episode today. Dr. Candrice: So I guess, I mean there are lots of things out there about Dr. Candrice, but what people really want to know or need to know is that I truly love being a dermatologist. I've learned on my journey that not a lot of people can say that they're passionate about what they do. They love it. But I truly love being a dermatologist and I enjoy all aspects of that from the education to what happens in the exam room, with the patients. And I realize that not only am I providing a diagnosis, treatment education but that I am actually impacting how someone feels about themselves. And that is a huge win for me. Dr. Berry: I love it. I love that. And of course, especially for Lunch and Learn community who may not realize, like when we talk about medical specialties, dermatology is one of those upper echelon specialties that if you're able to get through the rigors of medical school and conquer and do what you need to do, right? Like you can attain it, right? So again, this isn't a specialty that people just kind of walk into. Like they really have to put some work in. And again, I know Dr. Candrice as a person. I know her, I noticed she's an amazing person. I do want to really illuminate the fact that we got really a special person to talk to us today about skin cancer, right? Which again is, first of all from the numbers. Just from a sheer numbers standpoint, it was common cancer in the world, right? Boom. Like if that alone doesn't get your ears up and ready to educate yourself on this topic, I'm not sure what is. But Dr. Candice again, I’m an internist. I'm a hospital physician and you know, they've kind of heard the back story of how I got into there. What made you fall in love with dermatology? Like what was the path that kind of led you here to be able to grace us today? Dr. Candrice: Growing up, my older sister has something called nevus of Ota and it's actually a green birthmark that covers one side of her face. And so not only did we spend time going to our regular checkups with our pediatrician. We also would yearly visit our dermatologist in our local town. And I can still recall how excited and with anticipation. We would anticipate these visits because we would hope that they would have something to share that could take this birthmark away. And year after year, appointment after appointment, we were met with disappointment because there were, the technology hadn't really caught up so people with skin of color were not able to use the laser devices that were coming out to take away things on the skin such as my sister's birthmark without leaving significant scarring. But despite the answer being, "no, not yet," there's no solution yet, the dermatologist would take time to address my sister's self-esteem. And those few minutes actually really made the difference to me. And I said, wow, you know, dermatology, that is true, this is a different kind of doctor’s experience. So I could definitely experience what it was like to have a family member that had an ailment on the skin that everyone can see. So it's not like diabetes or having a heart problem where people may not be able to tell from your exterior that you're having issues inside of your body. But to be able to walk around with something that the general public can see. Man, that is an experience. Okay. So I took those observations and thoughts and also that experience that we had in the exam room. And then that's when I became interested in this whole dermatology, this skin disease. So if you can imagine, you know, 10-year old walking around and saying, hey, I want to be a dermatologist. That was me. I did not know about the uphill battle that we're following at it, know about how challenging it would become. And yes, I did set that goal based on my personal experience and I persevered to cross the finish line, but it wasn't easy. So people have to continue to follow me as I share more about that story. The great news is that yes, I am a dermatologist today and I'm so grateful for that so that I can live in my passion. But it was definitely a journey of perseverance to get here. Dr. Berry: I think that's telling because I think a lot of times when I think the common person, kinda hears about dermatology. I think they get kind of skewed, right? Because, they kind of think of more of the aesthetic, the Botox, that type of feel not realizing like no, there’s a lot more things that you know, it's scary. Right? You know, it can be disheartening especially from a self-esteem standpoint. So the pathology alone, right? Like and when we were talking about mythology, we talk about like disease courses, right? The amount of diseases that either originates from the, that show up on the skin is so vast. Again, I'm always impressed that you know, by my dermatologist because I know how much work, when did they put to get there as well as how much work they got to do while they there. Right? Like it's not a nine to five, you just chilling your junior year injecting people and then you're kind of keeping them, you know, a beautiful and healthy whole day. Right? There's a lot of clinical diagnostic procedures and treatment and discussions that go on a day to day basis. Right. Which is why I'm definitely such a fan of the field in general. Not so much offended. I wanted to be a dermatologist but enough that I can appreciate it from the outside. Dr. Candrice: And I definitely, thank you so much for highlighting that I think our other physician colleagues understand the scope of what we do. Yes. I do have colleagues who only do aesthetics, the only botox and fillers and things like that, but there is a large breadth of things that we do under the dermatology umbrella and I'm happy that our physician colleagues are excited that we can actually help them with their patients. Now the general public may just see us as, you know, a skin doctor or pimple popper or something like that, but in actuality, on a day to day basis, I am taking care of people who have severe disease and like brought up Dr. Berry as a dermatologist. It's amazing. I can go into the exam room, I can look at someone's skin and I can say, hmm, I wonder if this patient has diabetes. I wonder if this patient has thyroid disease. I know this patient has an autoimmune disease. And so it's amazing because, you know, the medical students are thinking, how would you know all of this stuff? My mind is trained to look at the skin, look at the hair, look at the nails, and come up with conclusions based on the patterns of recognition that I've seen over the years. So it is amazing. And yes, we do more than just acne and dry skin. We do lots of things and we take care of patients who have a serious disease. Dr. Berry: That was interesting. I know, and I know we're definitely gonna talk about it, you know, a little bit late on this show is the fact that you were introduced to the field very early. Cause I'm being honest, right? Like I've never been to a dermatologist, right? Like I'm 35 years old. No, don't hate me. Don't hit me. Right? I know, I know. I'm bad. I know. Trust me. You know, doctors make the worst patients, right? But I've always felt like, well, what am I going to do it here? This my skin looks okay. Right? So, I'm actually very happy that, you know, you guys were very introduced very early because I think a lot of times we hear, well, you know, let's say, skin color, you know, your dark skin, it is really nothing after you to do, there isn't nothing that he can tell you. I read the books, right? A lot of times when I'm reading books and I'm trying to get the description and I'm like, well what does this look like on a black person? Right? What does it look like on me? I don't know what this rash would look like on myself. Right? So I always kind of struggle with that. And again, we're definitely gonna talk about that later on. But I'm definitely kind of happy that, you know, you got introduced very early. Dr. Candrice: Yes, it is. It definitely has been a passion for a long time and yes, we do need more educational resources that highlight people with skin of color who had these specific things that we're trying to educate our colleagues about and the general public about. Dr. Berry: So with, with me, right, obviously we're recording this right? This is a skin cancer awareness month. I'll kind of all wrapped into one when we talk about skin cancer awareness. Like why for one. Right. Because this is the question I always get when we have these like health-related month. I like why does it stay made a whole month? Right? So like that I, I post you, right? Like why does skin cancer really need a whole month for us to be aware of? And what kind of says, you know what, I need to take this mantle and make sure I'm educating everyone about like skin cancer. Not to say that all your packages are nothing but skin cancer. I, but why is this like particular subjects such an important, I think for everyone to kind of know about it. Dr. Candrice: Skin cancer awareness month is a very important topic and yes, it should span the entire month of May and as a dermatologist, every day is skin cancer. Well you know, I could be a little biased. I mean, the thing is we all have skin and so sometimes we have been ingrained with these things that say, Oh, if you have brown skin, you don't have to worry about, you know, getting skin cancer. You don't have to worry about these things. So you just kind of tune it out. But I hope that every year when the month of May rolls around that people, regardless of their skin tone, learn something new about something that can potentially affect them, which is skin cancer. So it's all about educating, educating, educating. And if we only get 30 days out of the month to do that, or 31 days out of the month and do that, I say, let's go forward. We all have skin and we can all be infected regardless of skin tone. Dr. Berry: When we talk about just like the sheer numbers, right? I kind of alluded to it being the most common type of cancer in general, which is funny, right? Because me being an internist, I hear a lot about long, right? I hear a lot about the prostate, right? I hear a lot about breasts, I hear a lot about those things, but then when I'm looking at the numbers and they're like, whoa, those skin cancers, like I was pulling it out of water. Like I think that was more shocking to me. Obviously, you're in the field so we're probably not gonna be a shocking you. But like I thought that kinda hit me. I was like, oh I have this many people like dealt with like skin cancer. What are some of like the numbers, the stats, you know, Lunch and Learn community loves numbers from a statistic standpoint. Like, like how many people like are dealing with cancer and especially on a worldwide basis. The United States, you know, black folks, some women. Like what are some of the numbers that you kind of run across? Dr. Candrice: So I'm really, the numbers are usually broken down into the number of cases of melanoma that are diagnosed every year, which is a specific type of skin cancer than the most deadly type of skin cancer. There is the other group which is non-melanoma skin cancers. And often non-melanoma skin cancers, you're going to probably get about 5.4 million cases that had been treated in an average year. So that is a lot of cases of cancer. And then if you dive deeper into the statistics, you will find that one in five Americans by the time that their age 70 they're going to develop skin cancer that's taking all comers, all ages, all races of people putting them in the pot and you're coming up with the one in five Americans. So yes, it is definitely way more common than you think. And even when we really dissect out to the most deadly type of skin cancer, which is melanoma, it is predicted that there will be an increase in the year 2019 unfortunately by almost 7.7% so this is something that is not going away and it is definitely increasing. So we have to be on the lookout for it. The prediction of the number of cases for 2019 is over 190,000 cases are predicted to be diagnosed this year. So we definitely enough to be on the lookout for this. Dr. Berry: And what's interesting especially, and I am not sure if it's because it doesn't get the fanfare right? Like again I know we talked about breasts, we were talking about lung and just for Lunch and Learn community just from a number of sake, you know she was talking in the millions, right? When we talk about cases I'm like lung cancer, breast cancer, those are like in the 150 to 200 thousand. Just to give you an idea from a sheer numbers standpoint. How much more common it is right to have skin cancer than it is the other cancers, right? Not to say that no one is better than the other, but just when we talk about media and we talk about the influence of it, but then we had Dr. Amber Robins talked about the influence of media on our health care. This is one of the things that we see, right? Like we, we see like this is an issue that probably should get like more than a month if this many people, right. Ideally, with a skin cancer wet, you know, we got a month so we're gonna focus on and kind of do it here. And you talked about the different types of skin cancer, right? Like especially in your training when you're dealing with the melanoma and again, melanoma, we, you know, I know as an internist, you know, that's a bad word for us, right? We were as the one that's kind of scary for us as one, we tend to see exhibit an in a lot of different functions and especially when we're talking about when it starts spreading everywhere. When you're talking about melanoma versus the non-melanomas type skin cancers, right. And you just kind of start breaking those down. What is it that people should be doing? Right? Like again, what should I do? Should I start like scan to my skin now? Because now I'm getting kind of scared, right? All these people are against cancer, I'm getting kind of scared. I need to be worried about it. Dr. Candrice: Well definitely really the first step is to educate yourself. So you landed in the right spot. So we talked about melanoma being the most aggressive, a type of skin cancer. And then there are also those types which include Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and even a rare to very rare type that we don't talk about that often called Merkel Cell Carcinoma. So there are various types. And the best thing that you can do is to definitely see a dermatologist once a year to get a head-to-toe, a skin check. But then right in your home you can actually go ahead, advocate for yourself, taking a mirror and looking at your own skin. The first step is to really get to know what is living on your skin already. You know, time and time again, I may ask a patient, how long has this been there? And they, so I don't know. I haven't seen my back in two years. That’s unacceptable. I want you to get to know what is on your skin regularly. That way you can be a better, this hectic just in case something changes or comes up, you can say hey you can go to your primary care doctor and say look I need a referral to a dermatologist because this is changing. This was not there before I'm concerned. Dr. Berry: Okay, get in tune with what your skin is so you know what their baseline is and you do recommend just like once a year? Like I said clearly I'm overdue. Right? So you're just saying just like you're doing your regular annual checkup, you should be seeing your skin screening as well? Dr. Candrice: Yes, I do recommend that people get skin checks and definitely you know if you had lesions on the skin, moles, etc. They should be checked. And people with skin of color, of course, we have to be very very careful because skin cancer can happen on areas of the body that you may not expect. So for people with skin of color that means anyone with non-Caucasian skin, non-white skin, the risk of your skin cancers are going to be higher. When we were talking about melanoma on the soles of the feet, the palms of the hand inside of the mouth. So those are areas that people may not even think about that can be effect by skin cancer. And yet that's where we find the most deadly type of skin cancer in people of color. Dr. Berry: Are we've already dealing with more aggressive types of skin cancer or is it our lack of, you know, just being aware and following up on the skin cancer? Like what would you, if you had to lean one way or the other? Dr. Candrice: The number one thing for skin cancer and people with skin of color is late detection and delayed diagnosis. The patient doesn't believe that they can ever have skin cancer, so that may delay treatment. Also, there are some primary care physicians who are uncomfortable with things on the skin and that stems from just, you know, how physicians are taught and what they're exposed to. So they may not actually get a lot of teaching in dermatology during their training. So it's an area that they may not feel as comfortable with. So it may not be on their radar to even look at the hands and feet of someone with the skin of color and to refer that patient. So basically, usually by the time that patient with the skin of color lands in my office, regardless of the cancer type, it is usually at a higher stage. So it is going to be the worst case scenario I'm walking in. So versus someone else who may have been trained from a child to say, you know, we can get skin cancers, you have to protect your skin from the sun, you have to do this, you have to do that. So they're more aware that things can go wrong on the skin. But if you have no clue that 'that' could happen, you have definitely, there's a long time lapse between when that appeared on the skin when you can actually get your diagnosis. And that definitely affects your prognosis. Dr. Berry: Wow. Okay. All right. Dr. Candrice, she's getting us together. So yeah, I'll know until right now, next week, I am scheduling my dermatology exam because it is clearly serious. And again, this is if, if you, if you had one month to choose to like do your routine skin screening exams, why not let it be in the month of May when you know, skin cancers around us. The spotlight is on from a media standpoint is on it. So this is definitely the month you should be thinking about, you know, calling your primary care doctor like right now. And if you're in Florida, fortunately in Florida, you don't even have to get a referral. You can go straight to your dermatologist. Thank you for Congressman Wasserman for that standpoint there. That's great. So I taught, I hear about skin cancer, I read Baskin cancer a lot. And I always see this is the A, B, C, D, E of the skin cancer. Right? What is that? And you know, how could my Lunch and Learn community, you know, derive and be educated and you know, get on the ball with, in the car and in regards to at ABCD’s of skin cancer. Dr. Candrice: The ABCD’s are really A, B, C, D, E. Now we've actually added E to that as well. (Okay.) It is a reminder for you when you're looking at your skin, what are some of the things that I should look for as warning signs or things that are going wrong on the skin? So let's say you have a mole on the skin and if you were to look at, if you were to imagine splitting the mole in half with, you're just with your eyes a little line. If one side does not look exactly like the other side, we say that that is asymmetrical and that is a warning sign. That lesion should be checked. So A stands for asymmetrical. One side doesn't look like the other, that could be significant. The B stands for border. So if it has a round, nice, crisp border, then we're not going to worry as much. But at the borders brace squiggly and not a very crisp, that could be a problem. Also, the C stands for color. So if your mole all of a sudden goes from being brown to having brown, gray, pink, white, basically changing in color, that could be a problem. So that's something that could trigger you to get that checked out. D stands for diameter. So typically, melanomas are in other things that are going to be problematic are the greater than this, the head of an eraser. Now I've definitely diagnosed things that were smaller than that. But anyway, it's part of the warning signs. So that may be something else that can prompt people to come in. And then the last E has been added in the last several years and that stands for evolving. So basically what that means is even if you don't remember the A, the B, the C, the D with those things stand for if you have a mole that is evolving or changing in any way that may be one that we need to look at more promptly. Dr. Berry: Okay. All right. They added E. I've been out of school for a few years. So when it was my time and they just stopped that d and maybe even add something new. Again, this is why, Lunch and Learn community I tell you all the time I get just as educated from my guest as you guys also. Like I said, I'm getting myself together, get myself mentally prepared, to see this dermatologist, right? So when I do not, again, just like when I go to see this dermatologist, like what happens? Right? I know what happens when I go and get my wellness check and I talked to my doctor about the flu. But what happens when I go to see different charges? I've never been to. So what happens when I go to the dermatologist for the first time? Dr. Candrice: Well, you have to expect to show your skin. I was not born with x-ray vision. So we have to get you out of those clothes and into a gown. Now they usually will ask you, you can leave your undergarments on if you like to make you feel more comfortable and then you will be placed in a gown. And during that visit with my patients, what I do in a very systematic way is that I look over the entire surface of the skin from head to toe looking for anything that stands out. That could be something that is an abnormal and abnormal lesion on the skin. So I definitely will take a look at every area in the extremities, the back, the chest, the scalp, the face, all of that looking to take a look to see if there's anything that looks unusual that needs to be biopsied. So yes, number one is to do expect to actually get out of your clothing, including your shoes and socks and get into a gown. And I think some people… Dr. Berry: Is that something you run into, like people in that really unexpected that part? Dr. Candrice: Yes. Roll up the sleeve, will pull up the pant leg and I said, look, I'm a dermatologist. I need to see the complete picture. You know, that part is very helpful because everybody's moles may not be textbook the same as someone else's. So I need to know your body is making molds and that can actually help me to determine. Is that something that needs a biopsy? Is this just how your body's making them? I need to get a sense of all of that. So I need to see your entire body surface area. Dr. Berry: Okay. I like that. And anything, out there, tips and tricks, get our patients to have it? To get them a full dermatology evaluation? Dr. Candrice: Sure. You know, don't ever be afraid to ask or you know about things that you may be concerned about. Sometimes dermatologist, you know, we lay over the completely benign things, but I often use that as a teaching moment. So I do give those things names and I educate the patient about what those lesions are. But it is important that you get your questions answered as well about specific things that you're concerned about. I think, you know, one of my, some of my favorite instances as a dermatologist is to walk in and you know, there's a someone there for an exam and I start to examine their skin. I see like five circles on their skin with a marker and I'm thinking, hmm. Basically, every time I inquired, basically it's usually a wife that has circles, these lesions because she wants to know exactly what those are and what's the, make sure that those species are okay. So even if you don't have a wife, this makes circles on your skin and there are a few things that you are concerned about. It’s okay to make a list of those things so that we can make sure that we address those specifically so that you leave feeling empowered about your skin. Dr. Berry: I love it. We love empowering here. Because especially when they come to see, you know, the general family practitioner or internist and they're asking a lot of questions. Like I do wonder like what type of leeway do they have when they go in to see their dermatologist? Right? Because again, obviously, you're the expert, right? And you know, if something's like, oh no, that's nothing, but they just want to know, right? Like they read it in a book, they read a blog, they've heard a podcast and they say, oh no if it looks like this, you're supposed to do something about it. Do you run into a lot of that where patients are, you know, they're empowering themselves to be an advocate for themselves. But sometimes you almost have to educate them away from doing extracurricular things that you wouldn't necessarily need to do. Dr. Candrice: Absolutely. I think that's our job as physicians to provide the education and say, this is by all accounts, this is a something that it's benign. It's something that can be observed, you know, you don't have to remove it. So I think just spending time to educate also can be helpful for them as well. Dr. Berry: All right. So I'm in the dermatology again and just kind of preface it. Because again, I remember when I was studying in dermatology type questions for boards and everything else and my number one question was always, well you know what? Like yeah, I understand like how it looks, raised, bordered, redness. Like I already understand how that looks. But like for a person that looks like me, right? Like how does that look? Does it look the same? Should I be worrying? Like is it different? Is it the opposite? I don't know. Do you, when you take care of patients of color and they're coming to you with skin related issues as well, do you tend to find that more difficult or is that just feed your training? You're aware of it? Like I always, because I always want to know, cause obviously when I'm reading a book I don't tend to see too many skin colors and I looked like mine that is examples. Dr. Candrice: Yes. I have specifically sought out training in the skin of color. So I was excited to be able to do my dermatology training with some skin of color experts. And actually my program had a skin of color center as well, so we were known for that. So that allowed me to be able to see dermatology on multiple different skin types. And you're right, yes. Some things do not follow the descriptions in the book at all. So you have to go to someone if you do have the skin of color, go to someone familiar with your skin type so that you can get a more expert exam when it comes to that. Dr. Berry: And when we talk about this is skin cancer in general, especially for skin of color. I know you talked about us 10 being caught later. So does that mean like we're from skin cancer total wise, we're dealing with it a lot more frequently or we just happen to catch it at a much later stage? What are some of the numbers especially for skin color and people with skin of color when we talk about skin cancer and diseases of alike? Dr. Candrice: And this is actually really sad, but people of color, we are less likely to get skin cancers. But for an example with melanoma, the one that is the deadliest tight. When we think about the five-year survival rate after someone has cancer, they, you know, was always these statistics. They go out to say, well, in five years, you know, what's the likelihood this person being alive for an example. So for melanoma, when you compare black patients to white patients, white patients have, you know, it's like over 91% of those patients will have a five-year survival rate. And for blacks, it's only a little over 60% or about 65% or so. So that is drastic, a very drastic difference. And so that goes back to the point of late diagnosis. Particularly when we talk about the most deadly type of cancer. Yes, we don't get skin cancer that often, but man, when we do get it, the prognosis is horrible because it's often caught very late and it has spread beyond just the skin at that point. Dr. Berry: And I can tell you from an internist standpoint, some of the patients I've taken care of, unfortunately in a hospital, you know, we've had skin cancer shows up in the lungs, we've had skin cancer show up on the GI system, we’ve had skin cancer show up in the brain, you know, Lunch and Learn community, give you an idea like this isn't a benign disease that you know a little, you know, biopsy cuts and get outta here. Like once if it does what it's, you know, set to do, it can really cause some problems. Dr. Candrice: Yes, it is very devastating and it definitely will be called metastasizes, which is what you definitely explained. It can go all over the body. Dr. Berry: So, and when we talk about this, some of the reasons why we're coming late, right? The reason why we're not seeing Dr. Candrice earlier, basically for people of color. Like I honestly, I was like, oh, what do I need? Like I'm protected, right? Like, well, you know, I'm protected from the sun, like from it from my peers and my skin color. But what are some of the biggest misconceptions that are out there? People like me, it's getting people of color really need to like kind of erased from their mind when it talks about, you know, just skin cancer and skin disease in general. Dr. Candrice: Please erase the fact that your brown skin and your melanin can embrace all potential harm. Is not true. You can get skin cancer. Let me just hit on my mic to make sure they heard me. Look with brown skin, yes, you too can get skin cancer. Take it from me. If you don't believe the statistics. I am triple board certified dermatologist that looks exactly like you. And yes, I see devastating cases. So please, please, please. It's just, it's not true when people say that it doesn't affect us, it's just not true. Dr. Berry: Lunch and Learn community I hope you I heard that. She’s a triple boarded, right? So again, this is, this isn't just you're running the mill like a physician who was trying to like, no, this is a person who really knows what they're talking about and especially for, I have a lot of listeners of color. You know, if you have not, right, again, don't be like me, right? Like, get just skin check done ASAP. Right? The month of May, get it done by the end of this month. Like, make sure that happens like today. And then make sure you bring family members too right. We didn't talk about, but make sure you bring your family members and get them some chopped too. Because I know a lot of us, a lot of y'all don't already like coming to see us for the world has visited. Right? So if y'all already not seeing us for the wellness visit, I know. Yeah. Not going to see yourselves for that, the skin can visit. So please do that. And you know, kind of get out of that mindset. Right. So, you know, Dr. Candrice can kind of help get us together and get us earlier. Again, that's sad though. 60% of us on a little bit over two-thirds of us are actually making it within five years once we're diagnosed just because we're not being seen early and it has a problem. Dr. Candrice: Yes. Devastating statistic. Dr. Berry: So let's talk about skincare, self-care and I wanna know, right? Like I wanted to know because obviously again for Lunch and Learn community even those who don't know, Dr. Candrice and I, we've been friends for about, like three years now. You know, medical always together. I know how amazing this person is and as she does so much education. That's why I wanted to bring her on the show. Right. So Dr. Candrice tell us about skincare, self-care, and why we need to be with it ASAP? Dr. Candrice: You know, I see so many manifestations of stretch in the skin, in hair disorders, lots and lots of things. And so what I thought about was sometimes for people the moment in the morning before the day gets crazy and they're in the bathroom doing whatever they need to do, that may be their only time for self-care. So I developed this concept, this really kind of mindset that yes, skincare is self-care. So focusing on your skin is a way of taking care of yourself. You walk around with your skin all day, every day, so why not take a few minutes to take care of your skin in those moments of the day when you actually have time to do it. So that really was the impetus to all of this. Just, you know, people stressing out and a lot of, and seeing all these diseases on the skin that all you have to do is cleanser or moisturizer. It's like a really quick fix, right? But people were not taking those few minutes of the day because they said, oh, that takes too long. I don't have time for that. I'm busy. I'm this, I'm that. Well, you at least can you give me three minutes a day to be able to care for your skin? And man, what I saw happening was that yes, people, skin disease improved, but also their attitudes improve. Once I started to pitch it as a self-care, their self-care moments of the day, things began to change. They saw it from being something that was cumbersome that they had to do to something that they actually look forward to doing. Dr. Berry: A highlight of their day to take care of this again. Dr. Candrice: Right, exactly. And you say that with some hesitation, but it’s dermatologist, yes. Dr. Berry: Oh no, my way, she’s about to make up that now. So I already know that when she's in that mood. I don't even mess with her. Go ahead, do whatever. I'll wait. I'm in no rush. I ain't going nowhere anyway. She got a whole routine. It's funny because she's got a morning routine, she's got to go on the bed routine as I'm like, wow. Oh, and of course I'm naive, right? And like I gotta ask you a question like, especially when it comes to men, I'm naive, right? And I'm like, why can't you just wash your face? And they're like, no, you gotta do this and this and it's so it's too funny. That's good care. So can we definitely here for that. I got to ask, right? Because I know obviously Lunch and Learn community what about the men, right? Like how much men are you seeing in your practice? How can we get, and we just, we have this issue just getting them to do their wellness checks, right? Like how are you getting them to come to check their skin out? Dr. Candrice: I see men all the time in the office and as soon as I walk in, I know whether they are there by choice or force. I don't care how you land in there. I'm just happy to see the men when they do come in because it is important for me to have those conversations with them. And then we talk about some of the things that they don't really like. People talk about how, Oh, if I wear sunscreen and, and I'm working out or doing something, and I sweay, it gets in my eyes and this, that and the other. So we have conversations about, okay, well how can we overcome some of those things? Some have been cumbersome for you to get around to kind of get on the bandwagon of protecting your skin. So I really enjoy those conversations. And so I had that segment of men that come in for skin checks. But then also what I'm finding is that even just for general skincare things that men actually care about the way they look. They may not tell you or emphasize it and you know, but they do care about it. They may be coming in for ingrown hairs on the face or a little bit of dry skin here, there. Just you know, things that cap into, to happen to come up. And I've definitely given my male patients permission to actually ask about those things. I'm very active on social media and when I look at the statistics and some of my followers, I was surprised that like 20 to 30% of my followers are men. And no is not because I'm so fabulous myself. Right? (Part of it, maybe.) No, it does not because I am definitely an, I make it a point to really give tips along the way about really, really realistic, you know, short steps that you can do to really take care of your skin. And I said, wow, you know, the guys are actually benefiting from this as well. And they make me feel good that my information can be valuable for both women and men. Dr. Berry: Okay. I love it. Before we get you out of here, I always ask my guest, how can what you do really help empower people to take better control to skincare? Dr. Candrice: I understand that my words are powerful. I understand that my interaction with every patient is important. I can remember being a child in the exam room with my physician and if that physician gave some words of encouragement to me. Oh, you want it to be a doctor? Oh, that's great. Blah, blah, blah, blah. You may have understood that depending on where on the neighborhood that you work in, that you may be the only physician of cover that this patient ever sees. I may be the only physician that ever takes a second to encourage a child, encourage their child. And that one piece of information can be the thing that drives them through their entire schooling to become a doctor because somebody told them that they could. So I always had that in my mind. So I know that I'm empowering that way. And then also empowering beyond the exam room currently. So I know that when I'm giving information to women who come in with hair loss and brown spots and this and that and the other, that I encouraged them to talk to their families about it, talk to their girlfriends about it, talk to other people at the hair salon about it so that my words can travel just beyond, beyond well beyond just my patient, but also to a community. And so I love it when patients come in and say, oh so and so referred me or Oh I heard about you at the hair salon. Oh, I heard about you at church. I love it when that happens because it means that I've done a great job of taking something that can be very scientific and complex and making it very simple enough or just my patients to be able to say, look I saw this dermatologist and she told me x and you should get into. That to me is super empowering. I have now turned my one to one patient experience into a one to many experiences. Dr. Berry: Oh, I love it. Absolutely love it. So Dr. Candrice, how can someone follow you, get educated. Like I said, again this is just one episode but this isn't, this is more of like a blip. Like cause you're doing this all the time and I want to make sure my Lunch and Learn community kind of follow along with you. Where can people find you? When's your next speaking engagement? Let us know some details so we can make sure we get you right. Dr. Candrice: I can be found @drcandriceheath on all social media platforms. That's @ D, R, C, A, N, D, R, I, C, E, H, E, A, T, H, that's @drcandriceheath on all social media platforms. Also. I have launched a beauty line called My Sister's Beauty. So I hang out there a lot as well www.mysistersweetie.com. What we really focused on simple skincare. That is also of course self-care. You know my motto, love that. Very simple. You have to tell your wife about that. And then for my people in the medical community who are always asking me about how do you get these speaking gigs, how do you do that exactly? Why are you so comfortable? How do you do that? I finally put everything into a portal. Okay. So I am debuting very soon, www.drcandriceheath.comf/clinicalpearls. So that you can actually be able to go right there. www.drcandriceheath.comf/clinicalpearls to find out what I am doing in the speaker realm for medical professionals. Dr. Berry: And Lunch and Learn community, all of this link will be in the show notes. So you know, if you're driving, take a shower, whatever you do it, you'll be able to get access to it. And I was just about, I let you go, but you gotta tell us you gotta you can't just like a drop that, you know, beauty line comes and just let you go. Right? What about that right? I know we're talking about skin cancer, were on the self-care now. Let's get us right. Dr. Candrice: I am so, it brings tears to my eyes because this has a long journey to launch this line. And really the primary focus is based on all these experiences that I've had with women. Like I told you before, you know, people feeling overworked, too busy to, you know they have the kids hanging off of one arm, the job doing this and you know the taking care of the home depot, all of these things but yet and still they want to look great, they want to feel great. And one of the main things that people often come in about it, they talk about brown spots on the skin. So I know I wanted to develop something that could definitely help to brighten the skin, give people more, even skin tone. All those things they look for so that they do look refreshed and feel refreshed. So I'm excited about the cleanser that we have. It is amazing. I cannot wait for you all to try it and it is packed with a fruit acid called Mandelic Acid and it definitely helps address those dark spots. And I'm really thrilled about it.

Four grain trading giants - collectively known as the ABCDs - dominate international grain trade in our global food system. Knowing who they are and what they do is vital to understand the whys and hows of our modern food supply.  A key branch of ABCD power and influence are their financial subsidiaries.

What do those seven seconds say about you? “People Packaging is what I do”, says Sylvie di Giusto who helps individuals and organizations to explore how people make up their minds very quickly about them, their leadership potential, or their company, and either open the door or slam it shut.

Dr Dennis Gross is one of the world's leading authorities in skincare. He is a dermatologist, scientist and dermatologic surgeon and I was thrilled to get the chance to have him on the show to talk about his own range of skincare - Dr Dennis Gross - and pick his brain about skincare generally, the types of ingredients we should be looking for in our products as well as when and how to look after our skin as we get older. What's wonderful about Dr Dennis Gross is his ability to make what can be quite complicated extremely simple and when it comes to skincare his approach is, 'If something doesn't make you look good then it's not working.' Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel, £73.50 at Selfridges I met with Dr Gross during his visit to London to launch his products into Selfridges, which includes his iconic Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel - a two-step daily regimen that smoothes and firms skin gently. The entire collection can be viewed here - Selfridges. Given his background in skin cancer I asked him to share his ABCDs of what to look out for, how to check yourself and why 'pink is the new red'. His website www.dennisgrossmd.com is a brilliant resource if you want some further reading on the subject.  Finally, I couldn't resist quizzing Dr Gross about what else we can expect from him and from his range. He tells me about what's to come including new technology, devices, unique ingredients and light sources. Plus I also rave at him about the incredible Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad for Face, which I discovered via Alessandra Steinherr and which I urge everyone to try - it's one of my hero products. Dr Gross told me during our chat, 'I want people to try products that make them feel happy and look good' and his Glow Pads certainly deliver on that.

Do you know the ABCD's of property investing??  Yep, we've spent years defining this Property Investment Formula (which we like to call the ABCDs) that every property investor should master!!  That's right, there's a science behind investing; property investment is not just a transaction.  So get excited folks because over the next four episodes we'll be deep-diving into the four pillars which make up this Property Investment Formula:  A – Asset Selection (what property to buy) B – Borrowing Power (how to set up your loan strategy and structure) C – Cashflow Management (how to trap more surplus) D – Defence (how to protect yourself and your portfolio) BUT REMEMBER, while this acronym makes it easy to remember each “ABCD” Pillar, this is NOT the order it should be implemented in. Most people tend to start with “A” – the property itself… aka Asset Selection – this is NOT where you should start!  Instead, folks, we'll be starting with the foundation pillar that is also the hardest to master – Cash Flow Management!  ‘And why is this the hardest?', you ask… Well, unlike the other pillars, success is totally dependent on YOU! It requires one's own planning, observation, and discipline: all things a professional advisor can't provide!It's also the cornerstone to building a successful property portfolio!  As the famous quote goes, “change begins with you” and it's no different for your finances. Listen in and learn how to manage your cash flow once and for all!!!
