How much thought do you give to your baby's diet? Are you aware that the food you give your child during infancy can have long-lasting effects into adulthood? Research states that early exposure to various foods can impact their eating habits and weight later in on life. Tonight's discussion is sparked by a recent report from NGO Public Eye and International Baby Food Action Network which reveals that sugar levels found in Nestle products for infants and toddlers in South Africa and other low-income countries violates  global health regulations that aim to prevent obesity and chronic diseases. To have this discussion with us, we are joined by Dr Chantell Witten, Researcher at the University of the Western Cape centre of excellence for food security.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is based on a couple of questions from Facebook recently... Elizabeth wants to know: "Do you give the membership star at the end of the year or the beginning of the year?" Beckie wants to know: "My kid bridged to Brownies this past spring. She's completed some fun patches during the summer as well as has worked on a Brownie journey and badges, too. Can I put the fun patches on her Brownie uniform or do we still have to put them on her Daisy uniform until fall hits?" Another Elizabeth wants to know: "Adult health forms: do we need them for leaders and volunteers? We are just doing meetings at the library and outings for 3-4 hours. Nothing crazy." Nicole wants to know: "How do you know how many meetings a badge is supposed to take? Can you earn them in one meeting if you do all the requirements or is the multiple meeting to earn the badge necessary for the girls to think and plan the activities?" You guys, we're packing it ALL in today's episode. If you could go to coffee with me and ask me anything about Girl Scouts and get my unfiltered, unrehearsed opinion, what would you want to know?  You can ask me a question in the Facebook group (www.facebook.com/girlscoutpodcast), in a private message, or by e-mailing me at girlscoutpodcast@gmail.com.

Amid persistently inadequate numbers of direct care workers for resident care, long-term care administrators and staff members continue in their attempts to provide care for residents. The staffing crisis has led to regulatory issues, new sanctions from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and benchmarks for quality of care while facilities care for frail and dependent residents in the best ways possible given the circumstances. Moreover, the staffing crisis has resulted in the experience of moral distress for many direct health care workers. Moral distress occurs when health care professionals cannot act on their own moral judgment or what they believe to be right in a particular situation because of institutional or internal constraints. This podcast will feature the work and insights of GSA members Ozcan Tunalilar, PhD, and Beth Galik, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP. Dr. Tunalilar's research examines the role of organizational, contextual, and socioeconomic factors that contribute to the reproduction of inequalities in access to high-quality long-term care and in residents' experiences in the long-term care system. Dr. Galik's research has focused on care for residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, functional and cognitive assessment, and enhancement of the geriatric workforce.  Guests:  Ozcan Tunalilar, PhD, Assistant Professor, Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, Institute on Aging, Portland State University; and Elizabeth Galik, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP, Professor and Chair, Organizational Systems and Adult Health, University of Maryland School of Nursing. Host: Debra Dobbs, PhD, Associate Professor, College of Behavioral and Community Sciences, School of Aging Studies, and Academic Director, Center for Hospice, Palliative Care, and End-of-Life Studies, University of South Florida. This podcast episode is supported by the GSA Innovation Fund. 

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 14, Issue 23, entitled, “DNA methylation-based measures of biological aging and cognitive decline over 16-years: preliminary longitudinal findings in midlife.” DNA methylation-based (DNAm) measures of biological aging associate with increased risk of morbidity and mortality, but their links with cognitive decline are less established. In this new study, researchers Rebecca G. Reed, Judith E. Carroll, Anna L. Marsland, and Stephen B. Manuck from University of Pittsburgh and University of California examined changes over a 16-year interval in epigenetic clocks (the traditional and principal components [PC]-based Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, GrimAge) and pace of aging measures (Dunedin PoAm, Dunedin PACE) in 48 midlife adults enrolled in the longitudinal arm of the Adult Health and Behavior project (56% Female, baseline AgeM = 44.7 years), selected for discrepant cognitive trajectories. “We hypothesized that overall, cognitive Decliners would be biologically older compared to cognitive Maintainers.” Cognitive Decliners (N = 24) were selected based on declines in a composite score derived from neuropsychological tests and matched with participants who did not show any decline, Maintainers (N = 24). Multilevel models with repeated DNAm measures within person tested the main effects of time, group, and group by time interactions. DNAm measures significantly increased over time generally consistent with elapsed time between study visits. There were also group differences: overall, Cognitive Decliners had an older PC-GrimAge and faster pace of aging (Dunedin PoAm, Dunedin PACE) than Cognitive Maintainers. There were no significant group by time interactions, suggesting accelerated epigenetic aging in Decliners remained constant over time. Older PC-GrimAge and faster pace of aging may be particularly sensitive to cognitive decline in midlife. “In conclusion, these preliminary results suggest PC-GrimAge and DNAm based pace of aging measures (Dunedin PoAm and PACE) associate with 16-year, neuropsychologically-validated cognitive decline in midlife. The results warrant a larger-scale study to better examine longitudinal associations between changes in DNAm measures and changes across multiple cognitive domains. Ultimately, establishing DNAm measures as biomarkers of cognitive function in midlife may offer pre-clinical markers of a molecular aging mechanism that can help identify individuals at increased risk for cognitive impairment and dementia in later life.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204376 Corresponding Author: Rebecca G.

NAON had the pleasure of speaking with Erica Taylor, MD, MBA, FAAOS, FAOA Founder and CEO of the Orthopaedic Diversity Leadership Consortium and Dr. Fred Brown, DNP, RN, CENP Director of Generalist Education to explore Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) principles from their experiences within the field of orthopaedics. Dr. Taylor is  an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University School of Medicine, Chief of Surgery at Duke Raleigh Hospital, Associate Chief Medical Officer of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Duke PDC and Vice Chair of Diversity, Duke Orthopaedics.  Dr. Brown is an Assistant Professor for Adult Health and Gerontological Nursing at Rush University College of Nursing.   In this first discussion on JEDI, NAON starts the conversation with an overview into program components through education. Our guests consider the action behind learning and a need to do more listening. Our guests discuss teaching JEDI principles within organizations to promote initiatives. It's their belief a key step to engaging in conversation on JEDI in any organization starts through forming genuine, authentic co-worker relationships. Our guests talk about creating value perception and providing equitable care through diversity in the workforce. We'll dig into quality improvement projects and how social determinants of health play a huge role in patient reported outcomes. We hope you join the NAON JEDI conversation.

Burnout - Causes and CuresBurnout is costly to employers in several ways:Employee turnoverIncreased risk of worker injury or errorDeteriorating culture as energy becomes misdirected toward scapegoatingContrary to conventional wisdom, burnout is not solely related to workload, it's also related to feeling like “a cog in a machine.” When an unsustainable workload becomes even more stressful due to a lack of clarity, lack of control and an effort-reward imbalance, relationships become strained and people become siloed. According to leading researchers, burnout is identified when three psychological states exist:High levels of cynicism: an indifference, negative perspectiveHigh levels of exhaustion: emotional, spiritual and physicalLow levels of professional efficacy: the belief in ones ability to make a difference.Burnout can creep into a workplace and worsen over time. It often starts with an erosion of engagement. Work shifts from important, interesting and meaningful to exhausting. Next comes the erosion of emotions, where cynicism, anger, anxiety and depression start to surface. Finally, burned out workers comes to experience a mismatch between themselves and the organization. They lose faith that the organization has their best interests at heart.In this episode, I have a delightful conversation with Susan Farese, RN - a healthcare worker and mentor, a Veteran, a poet and photographer and the owner of PR firm “SJF Communications.” We talk about how burnout is taking its toll on our healthcare teams, and how she uses poetry, among other tools to cope.About Susan FareseSusan J.

Many women think the signs of a heart attack are unmistakable, but the fact is that they can be subtler in women and sometimes harder to recognize. Dr. Thanawala will discuss the most common heart attack symptoms, why women will sometimes experience different symptoms, and why it's important to call 911 if you or a loved one is experiencing a heart attack.

Dr. Tessa Roseboom is famous for her groundbreaking studies of the long-term effects of babies born during the World War II Dutch famine. Those studies showed unequivocally that the diets of pregnant women affect the health of their children in later life. Subsequent studies have shown that a wide variety of negative exposures in the womb or in childhood exact lasting costs in terms of poor mental and physical health. So what can be done? Join us for this podcast as we explore this and other related questions with Dr. Roseboom. We cannot describe Dr. Roseboom’s work any better than to quote her website: “I am scientist, teacher and advocate. As a biologist, I am fascinated by the wonder of life. In the past 25 years, I have investigated how the early environment in which humans grow and develop affects later development and health throughout life. By teaching students, professionals and (future) parents I share knowledge and increase awareness about the fundamental importance of a good start in life. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to giving each child the best possible start in life to allow it to develop to its full potential in order to create a healthier more equal future for all.”Featuring:Dr. Tessa Roseboom, Professor of Early Development and Health at the University of Amsterdam’s (UvA) Faculty of MedicineHost:Charles Raison, Psychiatrist, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Emory UniversityAbout Emory University's Center for the Study of Human Health:The Emory Center for the Study of Human Health was developed to expand health knowledge and translate this knowledge to all aspects of life – for the individual and populations as a whole.

This week, Paola and Taylor want to talk about your ACE score - and no, we don't mean tennis. We want to explore one of the first studies to connect childhood trauma to negative health outcomes in adulthood. Today's study is often referred to as the ACE study, as it examines how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can affect our long-term health outcomes in adulthood. It turns out, that childhood adversity may be a stepping stone to some of the leading causes of death in America. The study examines seven ACEs: psychological abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse, as well as exposure to household substance use, household mental illness, household incarceration, and domestic violence. Tune in to hear just how these researchers uncovered a connection between childhood trauma and adversity to negative health outcomes in adulthood.

“The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other kind of happiness. “ -Arthur Schopenhauer Oh, this was a fun one and the FIRST cast I give a mild adult warning to, this is more for the ears of an 18+ year old… but, if we are really honest, you could walk down any average high school hallway and hear far more aggressive speak (if you can crack the millennial language code #botox). On this cast I welcome, Connie Pretula, a Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Menopause Mentor, Burning Man enthusiasts (does that could if you’ve gone at least once? I think so:), and all-around specialists in having fun, enjoying life, and seeking balance in all that she pursues. Connie is bold, open, and experienced and her willingness to share and be honest made for an amazing conversation that everyone can learn something from. Including the “healthiest” alcohol drink you can order, you guessed it, TEQUILA, and she shares why. Connie’s journey is a varied one, including a wealth of corporate experience, a body building contest at 51, and pivot into the entrepreneurial world, again, Burning Man (completely SOBER!?!), and all the angles on wellness and nutrition (for life, not just competition) that you can pack in between. Wellness is a balance of all things and Connie is the living proof: fitness, nutrition, sex, mentality, community, spiritually, and continuous evolution. Let’s just say a consultation with Connie is a one stop shop, haha… but seriously. Enjoy! The all-natural “moisturizer” that Connie recommends. Fellas take note as well, it’s a team effort… Too much? Middle school is that wayà. Highlights: Questioning a better way… on ALL levels. Nutrition and wellness and sexuality. Libations, liberation, and being ok talking about our bodies and minds changing as we age. It’s never too late or too early to improve your life, try something new, or start over. Open your mind, your heart, and chase what you really want to do. Full body wellness and varsity spirit… and spirits.

Holistic nurse, Kimberly Thibeaux, owner and founder of Kurma Holistics, A Nursing Approach, joins Jan Swift of Nourish Your Health to discuss the phenomenon of ACEs, which stands for adverse childhood experiences. ACEs are more common than society recognizes or acknowledges and strikingly, may have a powerful correlation to an individual’s health a half-century later. […] The post Kimberly Thibeaux of Kurma Holistics on How Adult Health is Impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences appeared first on Nourish Your Health.

Everything starts with a story. Stories powerfully connect us to others, and can hold the power to trigger imagination and empathy. Stories humanize, offering a glimpse of your authentic self. Jane does just that by relating her journey of living a disconnected life in an abusive relationship, and what it took to reclaim herself, sharing “You reach this point where you say - you know what? I don’t want to live this way anymore. And it takes having your back against the wall and really clarifying your thoughts, clarifying what you believe, clarifying what’s important. But it must happen to live an authentic life, your true self, which has so much to offer.”Jane Berz is a Registered Nurse and Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist and a national consultant for the development of breast/oncology centers of excellence.

The nursing community has a unique opportunity to inform the public and policy makers of the vital role nurse practitioners play in advancing health access, equity, and quality care. Recently, Becker’s Hospital Review published a notice stating about 15 physicians at Edward Elmhurst Hospital were to be terminated and replaced by nurse practitioners. The implications made in response from local physician groups were that nurse practitioners are viewed as mid-level providers, and this practice could put patients in danger.In response, in December 2019, nurses from Rush University College of Nursing and Rush Health in Chicago submitted a Letter to the Editor to Becker’s Hospital Review, expressing dismay at the description of nurse practitioners as mid-level providers. The Nursing Economic$ Editorial Board believes all nurses have an ethical obligation to correct inaccurate descriptions of advanced practice colleagues, and in support of the nurses from Rush University and Rush Health, submitted a follow-up Letter to the Editor to Becker’s Hospital Review. Today’s discussion, led by Nursing Economic$ Editorial Board member Dr. Therese Fitzpatrick, focuses on the events at Edward Elmhurst Hospital as reported in Becker’s Hospital Review and elaborates on why advanced practice registered nurses and nurse practitioners must become informants to policy makers and the public. As the nursing profession around the world celebrates 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, participants in this discussion share the profound impact nurse practitioners make in the health care arena, both nationally and globally.Lynne Braun, PhD, CNP, FAHA, FAANP, FPCNA, FAAN, is Professor Emerita at Rush University in the Department of Adult Health and Gerontological Nursing and a consultant in the Rush Heart Center for Women, where she was a nurse practitioner.

Dr. Navid Redjal discusses signs and symptoms of brain tumors, and the latest approaches toward prevention and treatment.

Can parents improve their children's longevity? Does physical fitness in childhood predict your children's longterm health?  Doc Smo answers these questions. Topic Introduction: So here is something that you and your children should think about.  Unless your child develops a major illness, each and every morning that your child gets up out of bed, they are a little stronger, a little faster, and they are a little smarter than they were the day before.  During the previous day, their little bodies had a chance to grow new cells in all of their organs.  Compared to the day before, their hearts got a little bigger as did their lungs, their kidneys, and their brains. And of course, you are not paying attention if you don't notice the tremendous increase in their cognitive abilities-- they get smarter everyday. There is this steady march of growth and increase function all during childhood that halts sometime between 20 and 30 years of age. Today, we are going to explore this phenomena in a little more detail and talk about why this aging/growth curve has tremendous relevance for your children.  So sit back, crank up the mp3 player or computer and listen to today's pedcast that I call "Making Kids Fit for Life". Music intro: Childhood is about growth and change: Do you remember how thrilling it was, as a child, to acquire new skills? I remember how exciting it was when I learned how to swim and dive, when I developed enough balance to ride a bike, hit jump shot from 15 feet, or hit a twist serve on a tennis court. I could literally feel my body getting stronger, faster, and more agile by the day. My growth and development physically seemed to increase up until my twenties and then the party was over. Yes, I continued to get more knowledgeable well into adulthood, but my physical growth stopped. Research confirms these facts. Current evidence confirms that humans reach their peak physical capacities between 20-30 years of age. Peak cognitive ability comes a little latter, about age 30-40 years of age.  What this means is that up until our physical peak, each day your child is a little stronger, faster, able to burn more oxygen, do more physical work etc. After that peak day, no matter how much we wish it weren't so; there is a very slow but steady decline in our physical prowess, no matter how many yoga classes we go to, how many weights we lift, or how many miles we run a week. The rate of decline is biologic and predetermined. So here is the big take home point that we all need to understand and that is relevant for your children-- Since physical decline is inevitable in adult life, it is vital that children maximize their peak physical abilities when they are young.  The higher a child's physical capacity is during their childhood, the longer and healthier a life they can have.Children who eat well and get lots of exercise develop plenty of spare heart function, lung function, kidney filtering power, liver metabolic power in their formative years. Common sense tells us that by exercising, breathing hard, sweating, chasing one another, climbing trees, eating good food, getting enough quality sleep, and expanding and challenging their cognitive abilities, children can force their organs to develop to a higher peak capacity than if they sit playing video games, eat low quality processed food, or disturb their high quality sleep with TV and texting late into the night. Parents need to take action: Here is the great news--kids, your kids, can improve their long-term health and longevity. Good health as an adult is, to some degree, a choice.  Make sure your kids know that! You and your child need to understand the graph of physical capacity versus age, and think about it as you make decisions about your child's activities, diet, and sleep habits.   We have all heard the expression, Use it or lose it. Well, it is extremely true-- a fundamental truth of childhood. Pack that little truism into little Johnny or Ja...

Well, most of you have made a decision about what college your kid is going to by now.  You all have sifted through the acceptances (hopefully, there was more than one), weighing all manner of things while making the decision.  However, I know there are still a few of you out there who have not quite decided yet.  I know because I talked to a mother just a few days ago who was in the throes of helping her daughter make her decision.  Our meeting was quite accidental; she was the physician’s assistant in the surgeon’s office where my daughter and I were contemplating my daughter’s emergency knee surgery.  As soon as the physician’s assistant found out what I did, after I had volunteered some unsolicited advice, she engaged me in a longer discussion of her daughter’s options.  I was happy for the distraction.     1. Here We Go Again  Her daughter had an array of options:  several okay acceptances, but not from truly selective colleges; an acceptance from Fordham University; and wait list spots at Wake Forest University and Colgate University.  The mother, I’ll call her Leeann, had planned to keep one of the okay colleges on the list, as her daughter pursued the wait list possibilities.  Leeann said that she and her daughter had not visited Fordham (although they live right here) because her daughter had hoped to go away to college and try something different from New York City.  Guess what I said?  It’s the advice we always give (and this is the third episode this month that we have given it in, so maybe we think it is really important):  Send your kid to the best college he or she got admitted to.  Period.  Wherever that college is and whatever it costs (to the degree that it is humanly possible).  That’s the college to choose.  The okay college that Leeann was keeping on her daughter’s list is not nearly as good as Fordham.  Yes, it is a college that, for some reason I cannot quite explain, has become popular here in the East, though it is in the South.  It is out of town, which was her daughter’s preference, and Leeann was worried that her daughter would come home every weekend if she stayed in New York City for college.  My daughter, who, as you loyal listeners know, went to Fordham for the joint dance program with The Ailey School of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, assured Leeann that her daughter would not be coming home every weekend because there was plenty of fun and engaging stuff to do on campus.  My daughter assured Leeann that she had had plenty of friends in Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business (where Leeann’s daughter would be heading) and that they had not gone home on the weekends. We continued to chat about the two wait list options--both very good options and both very unlike Fordham in location and size.  And both head and shoulders above that other only-okay option that Leeann had been keeping on the table.  When we left the surgeon’s office, Leeann had taken the only-okay college off the list and was headed home to talk to her daughter about taking a look at Fordham’s campus (which is quite lovely and self-contained, by the way, even if it is in the middle of the Bronx).  I can’t wait to hear the results.  It continues to puzzle me that so many parents do not seem to put the academic caliber of the college as the number one criterion for choosing among several colleges in the final analysis.  Perhaps it is because parents do not know how to judge the academic caliber of a college or how to compare colleges on that all-important criterion.   So, parents, do whatever it takes to figure out which of the colleges your kid got into is the “best” college.  And, by “best,” I mean best academically, according to its national reputation or, as a second choice, its regional reputation.  2. Some Support for Our Position While I don’t feel any real need for support for our position (other than the decades of life experience in the world of higher education we already have), I am always glad to get some.  The support I want to share with you now is from a study by Noli Brazil and Matthew Andersson, published in March in the Youth & Society journal.  The study was then reported on by Sarah Sparks in the Education Week blog Inside School Research.  This is absolutely not what I expected and, therefore, it is particularly interesting.  Here are Ms. Sparks’s opening paragraphs in her article: Even a high school valedictorian can feel anxious becoming just one out of hundreds of top performers at an academically competitive university. But a new study suggests that students who have lower-achieving classmates in college than they had in high school show more symptoms of depression. The study, published in the journal Youth and Society, finds [that,] . . . contrary to common wisdom, students with lower-achieving classmates in college had a rough freshman year. “When you think of it, a college transition is made of three parts: where you’re coming from, where you end up, and the difference between those things,” said study co-author Matthew Andersson, an assistant sociology professor at Baylor University, in a statement. He suggested increased depression may come because “the downward transition might trigger a sense of being a misfit. That might trigger having fewer friends or less of a sense of attachment to the college or university that one is attending.” Researchers from Baylor University and the University of California, Davis, tracked data from more than 1,400 high school students who later attended four-year colleges in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, which provides information about students’ mental health as well as their school-level achievement data. They controlled for students’ demographic, academic, and mental health backgrounds, but also school factors, such as whether students attended public or private schools, the concentration of students in poverty, and parent education levels in the schools. (quoted from the article) So, here are the statistics, in the words of the researchers themselves: We find that depressive symptoms increase by 27% for students experiencing lowered peer ability across their college transition, relative to no substantial change in peer ability. Meanwhile, heightened peer ability in college links to neither diminished nor enhanced student well-being across the transition. (quoted from the researchers’ Abstract) In other words, sending a bright kid who is accustomed to bright classmates in high school to a college that is filled with kids who are not as bright increases the odds that the bright kid will end up showing some signs of depression, for whatever reason.  Now, will it make that bright kid seriously and chronically depressed?  Not necessarily, but it can increase the chances that the bright kid will show some symptoms of depression.  Is that a chance you want to take, parents? This question is directed to the parents we talk to who are considering sending their son or daughter to an easier college in order to get good undergraduate grades in preparation for medical school or law school or some other graduate degree.  According to these researchers, that strategy--which we don’t agree with in the first place--could be especially harmful if that son or daughter is coming from an excellent high school with lots of smart kids or if that son or daughter is literally part of a group of smart kids in whatever high school he or she attends.  And it always seems that the parents who suggest this strategy are the ones who have been pushing their kids the hardest in high school to excel--which puts their kids in the worst spot for experiencing the kind of depression that the researchers are talking about. And here’s one more wrinkle, as Ms. Sparks reports: “[U]ndermatching,” in which high-achieving high school graduates choose a college less rigorous than their academic qualifications would predict, is often a particular problem for students from low-income or traditionally underrepresented groups or first-generation college-goers. Prior studies have found that students who are undermatched in college are significantly less likely to complete a degree. (quoted from the article) So, here’s one more reason that low-income, traditionally underrepresented, first-generation-to-college kids are having a tough time making the leap into the collegiate education that they deserve.  It’s bad enough that they might exhibit signs of depression more often than they otherwise would have; but, you have to wonder whether that alone could make it less likely for them to complete a degree. This study, like all studies, had some limitations.  For example, all of the students included in the study attended four-year colleges, so these findings do not necessarily apply to students attending two-year colleges.  That could be an interesting future inquiry since I believe that lots of good students attending two-year colleges are undermatched in an effort by families to save money during those first two years of college.  This new study should make you think about that. Ms. Sparks ends on a note to high schools, commenting that “. . . the study suggests schools could help their students think more optimistically about how well they would fit at academically competitive schools” (quoted from the article).  That advice could be to counselors and teachers as students make up the list of colleges they plan to apply to or that advice could be to counselors and teachers who might be in a position to influence a student’s choice of a college after the acceptances come in.  Certainly, in the second case, we would hope that counselors and teachers do exactly what we do here at USACollegeChat--which is to encourage kids to see themselves at the best college they got into, to surround themselves with students who are as smart as possible, and to adopt the study habits and work ethic of successful college students. By the way, parents, this does not mean that only the best 40 or 50 colleges in the U.S. are suitable for providing high-achieving peers for your son or daughter.  There are plenty of great public flagship universities, small liberal arts colleges, and private universities in addition to the highest-ranked institutions.  There are plenty of great colleges where the other students will have a positive effect on your son and daughter.  That is what academically rigorous colleges are like.  That is what the “best” colleges are like. So, I promise that this is our last episode on this topic for this year--as long as you agree to send your kid to the best college he or she got into.  That’s why you all have worked so hard for so long.  If you are trying to make a decision right now and need some advice, give me a call.  As we always say, it’s free, so you don’t have to take it.  Let’s chat.

Justin Varney, National Lead for Adult Health and Wellbeing and co-author of a new report that explores, amongst other issues, talks about how domestic abuse is a serious and under-researched health issue for L,B, & T women and other women who have sex with women. Read a transcript: https://tinyurl.com/ybuzp2wy

Weston A. Price Foundation President Sally Fallon Morell explains how infant, child and adult health depend upon returning to traditional foods and preparation.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, more than half of American youths with chronic conditions, such as childhood cancer or cystic fibrosis, do not receive the support they need to transition from the nurturing pediatric care setting into the increasingly complex adult health care environment. During this time, they face challenges like losing access to their pediatric doctors and care teams and changes to their insurance. Erika Jewell, LCSW, Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, discusses the Transition of Care Program dedicated to guiding pediatric patients through the complex journey from pediatric to adult health care.

Dr Patience White visits the PediaCast Studio to talk about the transition of pediatric patients to adult health care. Smooth transitions result in best outcomes, but they don’t happen on their own. Providers must be intentional with the design and implementation of a transition program within their clinical practice. Join us and we’ll share how!

Dr Justin Varney is the National Lead for Adult Health and Wellbeing at Public Health England. In this blog, he talks about the ways that people living with impairments are affected by domestic abuse, and the ways in which barriers to accessibility further disable individuals seeking help.

Med-Peds is a shortened term for “Combined Internal Medicine & Pediatrics”.A physician trained in Med-Peds can care for the newborn to the geriatric patient.Med-Peds physicians tend to the care of patients throughout their life span. Caring for multiple generations of the same family requires an understanding of family dynamics, epidemiology and the impact of acute or chronic illness at all ages, all in the context of family systems. Linda DeCesare, MD, is here to explain how Med-Peds physicians draw from the knowledge and skills of pediatricians and internists to bring breadth and flexibility in their approach to clinical medicine.
