In today's episode I sat down with my client Cora for a powerful, behind the scenes look at how EFT tapping can help ambitious professionals find calm amidst the chaos. Cora, owner of Fat Moon Creative and mom of two young kids, opens up about the daily pressures of running a mission driven business while juggling family life and a never ending to do list. Together, Cora and I explore the guilt, overwhelm, and time scarcity that so many women experience and then use EFT tapping to shift those feelings toward abundance, presence, and self-acceptance. Whether you're new to EFT or looking for practical strategies to ditch the hamster wheel, this episode is full of actionable insights and heartfelt moments you won't want to miss. Throughout the interactive session, I'll guide you through tapping on different meridian points while addressing common self-doubts and fears, ultimately aiming to instill a sense of empowerment and readiness to tackle challenges. So, sit back, follow along, and let's dive into this transformative EFT tapping experience.NEED A VISUAL WHILE YOU TAP?

Key Takeaways: EFT is a practical tool to help break the guilt cycle. By tapping through the feelings of overwhelm and not enoughness, you can truly shift your nervous system and self-talk. You have permission to fill your cup. If your story is, I never have time for myself, consider reframing. As Cora discovered, you're allowed unapologetically to take breaks and pursue what brings you joy. Success isn't defined by getting everything done, but by recognizing the impact of what you did accomplish and being proud of it.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! Welcome to a brand new mini series of the You Can Call Me Bossy Podcast, where the conversation focused on empowering women to master their subconscious minds, embrace their desires, and unapologetically step into their power. Inspired by a viral TikTok and themes from Ted Lasso, this first episode explores the mindset required to become a boss ass bitch a woman who knows who she is, owns her ambition, and leads life on her own terms. We explore the importance of self belief before evidence appears, and pop culture role models who embody this energy. I am personally inviting you to join this journey over the next three episodes as each pillar of boss ass bitch, making F you money, and being strong as fuck is broken down, offering both inspiration and actionable mindset shifts to live life boldly and authentically. Key Takeaways: Identity is Everything. Embracing the boss ass bitch archetype is about more than just titles, it's about knowing who you are, what you want, and trusting yourself enough to pursue it boldly. The journey involves owning your power, taking up space without waiting for permission, and leading your life according to your own rules. True change begins when you back yourself before there's evidence or external validation.

I remember several times in my life experts saying that it is healthy to drink coffee. Then they said that it is unhealthy to drink coffee. Then a few years later, that changes. Just recently, the American Heart Association (AHA) has advised that drinking up to five cups of coffee a day is not only safe but also may lower the risk of stroke, heart failure, and type 2 diabetes. A New York-based cardiologist, Dr. Eugenia Gianos, after reviewing the AHA's research findings, was quoted saying that physicians may be able to recommend coffee to patients in the future. That health advice may fluctuate and change. One thing that never changes or fluctuates is God's promise to walk with us in all phases of our life, even those we think are good or bad, or even if we drink coffee or don't drink coffee. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:He loved every minute of the breakdown that made everyone around him want him committed.Steve Barton loved every minute of his breakdown. That is the part people cannot get past when he tells this story, and it is the part I could not get past either.Steve ran his family's flower business for over thirty years, starting at twenty-two after his father's stroke left him no choice. He built the life everyone tells you to build. Successful. Respected. Decades in. And he realized he had everything he wanted and he was not happy.So he did the work. Therapy. A Course in Miracles. Every book, every teacher that showed up once he went looking. He did not dabble but fully committed. And the work blew up in his face. He started seeing the dead. He was running on an energy high he didn't know existed and could not turn off. He was telling people the truth before he had learned how to hold it. He loved every second of it. The people around him did not. They called him crazy, and not the good kind. They wanted him committed.Steve knew he was crazy. He loved it anyway.On the other side of crazy is so much simplicity. Someone who is fully at peace, has forgiven everyone. The result you ask? A coaching practice with a tool he is patenting, the Game of Ten. And a promise he brings to everyone who will listen: you are enough. You have always been enough. He does not look at a breakdown as a bad thing. He welcomes it in, and he wants you to love this call to awareness at every step of the way just as much as he does.Listen to the episode. It's a little bit crazy.Connect with Steve Barton: Website_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Mark's account of the crucifixion includes the comment that “those who passed by (the cross) derided him, wagging their heads and saying, ‘Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross” [15 v.29-30]  Matthew's account includes the added comment,” and we will believe …” Imagine the scene! Imagine the blindness of their minds at all he had done, wonders that climaxed with the raising of Lazarus after 4 days in the tomb.  At least one saying of Jesus had stuck in the their mind, his response to them when they asked, “What sign do you show us …” and his strange but thought challenging answer, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” [John 2 v.18,19]  Only later did the disciples understand.There are those today who go to the Bible to misquote it, ignoring all the verses that say the opposite to what they want to believe.  They talk of the soul being immortal, but we read, “the soul who sins shall die” [Ezek 18 v.4]   They also talk of Jesus being co-equal with God and, in one sense, that is true: in John 17 v.20-23 we read how Jesus prays that believers, his genuine followers, “may all be one, just as you Father are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me … that they may become perfectly one …” And so did the disciples became – never again did they argue as to who was to be the greatest.  May all genuine disciples of today make real progress in becoming “one” in this sense, and then, as Jesus prays, such believers “may be with me where I am, to see my glory …” [v.24] – and surely this is when he returns to earth. May none of us be like “those who passed by” – they “mocked him” saying if he came “down from the cross” they would “believe.” [v.32] He is now at the “door” and will very soon open the door – and then the mockers will “see and believe” – but it will be too late, he will shut the door on them – see Luke 13 v.25.  May we have the perception of “the Centurion, who stood facing him (and) saw that in this way he breathed his last (and) said, ‘Truly this man was the Son of God.'” [v.39]   We are not told what difference it made to this Centurion, but Roman historians tell us that there were hundreds of Christians in Rome in A D 64 (34 years later) and that Nero made them take the blame for the fire that destroyed much Rome; the Gospels show there were several Centurions who were not among “those who passed by.”   May we, as much as possible, be like those early believers, “who believed (and) were of one heart and soul” [Acts 4 v.32]

Was braucht ein adoptiertes Kind, um sich in einer neuen Familie wirklich sicher zu fühlen? Welche Rolle spielen Erfahrungen, die es vor der Adoption gemacht hat? Und was können Adoptiveltern tun, um ihr Kind beim Ankommen zu unterstützen?

Außerdem geht es in dieser Folge um die Frage, warum manche Menschen ständig von Mücken gestochen werden und andere kaum.

Warum springen manche Menschen aus Flugzeugen, klettern an steilen Felswänden oder suchen immer wieder den nächsten Nervenkitzel – während andere Risiken möglichst vermeiden? In dieser Folge von „Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltagswissen“ geht es um die Psychologie hinter unserer Risikofreude. Die Psychologin Prof. Hedwig Eisenbarth von der Victoria University of Wellington in Neuseeland erklärt, warum es nicht das eine „Adrenalin-Gen“ gibt und weshalb Abenteuerlust auch evolutionäre Vorteile haben könnte.

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls:  CPR is an important life-saving measure designed for anyone to perform. Chest compressions works by two mechanisms:  Cardiac pump: Direct squeezing of the heart Thoracic pump: Increasing intrathoracic pressure, causing increased blood flow Proper hand placement per current AHA guidelines:  Hands are placed in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum A recent study challenged this approach, using TEE during chest compressions to visualize the cardiac structures being compressed. They found that when hands were placed ~1cm to the left of the sternum, this compressed the left ventricular outflow tract, potentially restricting forward blood flow. Hand placement ~4cm to the left of the sternum resulted in more effective compression of the left ventricle. While this is not yet reflected in AHA guidelines, the study presents an interesting finding that may influence how CPR is performed in the future.  Key takeaway: Always prioritize administering high quality compressions.

On this episode we welcome back Brian Idalski, the new head coach of the Syracuse women's hockey team and head coach of the Czechia women's national team. Brian was last on the show in Episode 85, when he was in his second year at St. Cloud State, and a lot has happened since. We start with the NCAA 5-for-5 rule change, the pending senior class lawsuit, and what a 26-player roster cap means for the 2027 and 2028 recruiting classes, something Brian calls "COVID 2.0." Brian gives an honest accounting of the Vancouver Goldeneyes' inaugural PWHL season, including the toll of constant time zone changes and the Olympic break, and shares how he came to lead Czechia. We also discuss his plans for rebuilding Syracuse, why he builds programs around "solid B kids with A work ethic," how moving from the WCHA to AHA changes his measuring stick, and his advice for families stuck in an unpredictable recruiting cycle: it is our job to find you, so focus on becoming the best version of yourself.You can connect with Brian Idalski either on the Syracuse women's hockey website or via Brian Idalski's Champs App profile============================Champs App is your recruiting and development copilot.

In this segment, we discussed the recent American Heart Association guidance on LDL cholesterol and the sobering estimate that only about one in three adults has their cholesterol adequately managed. For patients with risk factors for cardiovascular disease, the LDL target is now 55 mg/dL or lower — a number that is all too often overlooked when lab results are reviewed. The result is that many people are walking around with elevated LDL cholesterol, unaware that they are at meaningful risk for serious cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.The call to action for listeners is straightforward: log into your hospital or clinic patient portal, pull up your most recent lipid panel, and confirm that your LDL cholesterol is in range. Diet and exercise absolutely play a role in improving LDL, but lifestyle change alone is frequently not enough — particularly for patients with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or fatty liver disease. In these cases, statin therapy is often the necessary next step, and it should not be viewed as a failure of lifestyle effort but as appropriate risk reduction.We also covered two additional recommendations. First, the AHA now advises a one-time measurement of lipoprotein(a). An elevated Lp(a) signals a substantially higher cardiovascular risk, and because the level is genetically determined, it typically will not improve with diet or exercise — making it essential information for guiding how aggressively other risk factors are treated. Second, a coronary calcium scan can bring your individual risk into sharp focus. A positive calcium score is a clear indication that aggressive intervention is warranted. Taken together, these three steps — knowing your LDL, checking your Lp(a) once, and considering a calcium score — give you and your clinician a far more complete picture of your true cardiovascular risk.How To Reach Dr. Joe Galati and his Team:For an on-line consultation or press inquiries, contact Teresa Reyes at 713-794-0700Dr. Galati's Newsletter Sign-UpLiver Specialists of TexasGet a Copy of Dr. Galati's BookDr. Galati on FacebookMessage Dr. Galati and his team Hosted on Acast.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode, I talk about the art and science of making decisions, and exploring why decisions are the foundational step in manifestation. This conversation is all about the impact of both positive and limiting decisions on our ability to create the outcomes we desire, with real life examples showing how our stories and beliefs shape our actions and results. Get ready to reflect on how your everyday choices influence your life and discover how to start fighting for your opportunities instead of your limits. Key Takeaways: Making a decision is setting the conclusion in motion; action follows clarity. Identify where your choices stem from limiting stories and consciously choose empowering beliefs instead. When self belief falters, it's okay to lean on the confidence and experiences of others for support as you move toward uncharted goals.

Toast and tea may sound almost too simple to matter, until it becomes the doorway to a bigger truth about sustainable living and how we care for ourselves. I wanted to go live today making granola because it's a perfect Recipe 4 Survival,  basic staple, zero food packaging waste - a mindful meal and helping to live a sustainable lifestyle but the heat made the oven a no-go.So I pivoted to a mindful meal I love toast and tea, endlessly versatile, comforting with a few smart choices. Also in this episode I share a practical sustainability tip for anyone tired of staring at plastic food packaging and wondering what to do with it. I talk about Ridwell, a company that helps with recycling certain plastics that often don't belong in curbside bins. If you're trying to reduce waste without turning your life into a full-time research project, you'll appreciate having another option to explore. I have 3 links for friends to get a $10 discount on their first order. Then I read a bit from the preface to my memoir, “Toast and Tea Away from Home,” a travel snapshot that moves from the WOMAD Festival in Golden Gate Park to a quiet morning in the Oakland Hills. The story lands on an “Aha moment” that still guides me: when you prepare food for yourself, you transfer intention, energy, and care in a way that can restore direction and focus, which helps to cultivate one's independent spirit. Cooking is a small act with a surprisingly big impact on ones holistic wellbeing.   Please find the link to my Audible memoir, Recipes 4 Survival, Make It On Your Own. Please subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves simple food, and leave a review so more people can find the show.In advance, thank you so much,Me, D MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle 

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:A solo episode on loss, faith, and what it takes to keep going.I'm 3,144 items into my insurance list. That's where this episode starts. What cracked me open while I was counting was a photo of the kids stacked in a tower on the living room floor, laughing, my husband Gary looking at them, thinking about adding himself to the pile. A house that doesn't exist anymore. And a question I couldn't shake, will we ever have a moment like that again?This is a solo episode, and the honesty in it is a commitment I made to tell you the truth. I really, truly, deeply, 100% do not want to be here telling this story. I want to tell the comeback story, the glorious coming out on the other side. And that's just not true. So I can't tell that story. I have to honor the lesson I am in which is unbearable, long, drawn out, continuous grief.Eighteen months ago, our home and my office both burned down, four days after I got married and four days after I received a spiritual calling to let go of everything I thought I knew. I declared the hard part of the grief over two months ago. I was wrong. The list keeps growing. Because life is, well... life.One of my gifts is being able to see repeatable patterns and build frameworks around them. When I work with my consulting clients, I'm almost always watching the same transformation pattern play out, and it has three parts: the breakdown, the breakthrough, and the breakout. This year, I had to live inside that pattern instead of just naming it for someone else. Typical business challenges like cash flow, people leaving and arriving, a masterclass format still being tested, and a grief that doesn't move on the timeline anyone promised.If you've gotten a calling that you can't explain and can't ignore, if everything that used to work has stopped working, this episode is for you. I'm not offering you a resolved story. I'm offering you the real one, still in progress, and an invitation to build alongside me while it's happening instead of waiting for the polished version.Listen to the episode and find out why it always takes longer and goes in a different direction than we think. Connect with Beate CheleteWebsite | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Podcast | Substack_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

HCAHPS produces 11 publicly reported measures of patient experience. Not one of them asks about a bill. The financial/billing experience sits outside most ways this industry uses to define patient experience. And it arrives with your logo on it. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith discuss what that gap costs. The financial experience decides whether the next clinical experience happens at all. In most health systems, brand standards govern the digital experience, website, campaigns, and the call center. But the statement, the denial letter and the financial assistance page are managed separately. They also discuss the requirements to reach the people in the community most likely to need financial help but describe how these efforts read like a marketing campaign, but marketing never got this memo.  Then Cassandra Skinner from Xsolis makes the case for collecting correctly rather than collecting less, arguing that compassion and accountability were never opposites. She also describes how patient advocacy acts as quiet work that lives in questioning one authorization or catching one coordination of benefits error. On automation she draws the line at can versus should. And she lands somewhere worth sitting with, that patients do not lose trust because a machine was involved, they lose trust when nobody will own the decision. Why the instrument that defines patient experience has no question about cost, and what that does to budgets and attention What marketing gave up when the billing statement became somebody else's document The financial assistance requirements already written into federal law, and why satisfying them has not made patients aware Why a decade of mandated price disclosure produced more published data and not more patient understanding What revenue cycle sees about a patient that marketing never does Where accountability has to sit when part of the decision is automated If your health system's financial assistance page would fail the standard you apply to any campaign you would sign your name to, you just found work that has been yours the whole time.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit replay episode the conversation picks up where I left off in episode 194 about the six steps of manifestation, zooming in on what I believe is the most crucial—and overlooked—part of the process: clearing out subconscious blocks and negative beliefs. This episode explains why just “feeling it to receive it” isn't enough, and dives deep into practical techniques like NLP, breathwork, EFT tapping, hypnosis, and journaling that can help you truly shift your mindset for real results. I also share insights on how uncovering and clearing what's really standing in your way can unlock new emotions, beliefs, and the confidence to manifest your biggest goals. Whether you're brand new to manifestation or looking to breakthrough your next big block, this episode is packed with empowering, actionable advice to help you step boldly into the life you desire.

Grab the GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY Prompt Vault HERE In this special interview episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. I sat down with my longtime friend, client, and confidant, Rose Yodzio, an integrative nutrition and health mindset coach, certified menopause specialist, and fierce advocate for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. This episode kicks off with honest admissions about denial, shame, and the challenges so many women face when confronting midlife changes. Together, Rose and I unpack why common symptoms like anxiety, mood shifts, and weight gain are often misunderstood or dismissed, and why seeking support and the right kind of support is absolutely vital. From debunking outdated advice to sharing the science behind hormone health, GLP-1, and effective weight training, this conversation is packed with real talk, practical insights, and hope. Whether you're in your 30s starting to wonder about perimenopause, or further along the journey yourself, this episode proves you're not alone and that you're never too late to advocate for your wellbeing. Key Takeaways: If what used to work for your energy, mood, or weight doesn't anymore, remember you're not alone, and you're not "just imagining it." Support and change are possible Many traditional healthcare providers aren't fully trained in women's health for perimenopause and menopause. Seek out practitioners who listen to you and consider alternative support if needed Beyond nutrition and medical interventions, addressing mindset and learning to regulate stress are foundational for hormonal health and well being Key Timestamps: 04:46 Becoming a health coach 10:55 Recognizing early menopause symptoms 22:00 Competing with Male Expectations 27:03 Discussing GLP-1 side effects 30:09 Managing autoimmune disease with nutrition 35:39 Losing confidence in lifting heavy 37:11 Getting to the root cause 41:42 Pressure to Handle Stress Alone 49:04 Women and autoimmune conditions 52:01 Encouragement for women seeking support Episode Quote "I really wanted women to know that the symptoms they are having or they were having at this time of their lives were common, but they're not inevitable; in fact, they are not normal.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Mike Weisman spent thirty years building other people's brands. As the owner of his own advertising agency, he understood exactly how a performance becomes a product, and he built a career optimizing his clients external image for the world. Then his business disintegrated within six weeks, and he found himself standing alone in his own awards hall, throwing plastic trophies into a trash bin.The moment those trophies hit the trash, so did the version of Mike that had built them. That version was never him, only a performance. That is imposter syndrome, the distance between who you are and the image you have been showing up as. Take the award away, and ask what is left?I brought Mike onto the show because that question follows me too. He spent decades selling the promise that the right image solves everything, then discovered, at the cost of his business that the persona built for an audience and the person who can carry a business through a real collapse are not the same person.This conversation moves through the shame that comes before the clarity, the false idols we worship, the ones he calls the five P's, and the trust he had to find so he can rebuild from nothing. Mike now runs Higher Ground Life Consultancy, and what he teaches today is the opposite of everything his old industry trained him to sell.Listen to the show for an honest conversation around imposter syndrome and how over optimization fuels you spending years performing an external image of you, that you know deep down is not you.Timestamps00:00–03:22 Cold open + over-optimization: culture's performance trap03:22–08:32 Collapse and awakening: business implodes, trophy-in-the-trash moment, “Who am I?”08:32–14:08 Shame to stillness: fear, people-pleasing, 18 months of quiet, shift from self to service, image vs. identity15:42–19:46 Liminal space: staying in the void, quiet confidence, the in-between ends in stages21:04–24:36 Serendipity, no agendas: vulnerability as the gateway to trust25:08–27:01 Trust over transaction: core metric, relational vs. transactional, ditch the “personal brand”28:57–31:05 Growth arc: breakdown → breakthrough → breakout; don't defer life—be a light; fingerprints and values32:34–34:21 Redefining success: beyond money; where to find Mike; outro + CTAABOUT MIKE WEISMANMike Weisman is the founder of Higher Ground Life Consultancy, working with leaders on identity, trust, and what he calls the true self beneath the performance.

Public Health is about more than hospitals and healthcare; it's also about the policies that help people live healthier lives every day.This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, Michael Sanderson and Karrington Anderson are joined by Laura Hale, State Government Relations Director for the American Heart Association, to discuss how counties can help improve community health through smart public policy.Laura shares practical examples of how counties are working with the AHA to make a difference, from expanding access to nutritious school meals and reducing youth exposure to tobacco to helping families make more informed dining choices through informed dining initiatives. She also explains how local governments can use partnerships, policy, and local authority to create healthier communities across Maryland. Plus, you'll hear one surprising statistic that may change the way you think about sugary drinks: the average child consumes the equivalent of a bathtub full each year.Tune in to hear this timely conversation on how thoughtful local policy can improve public health, one school meal, one community partnership, and one informed decision at a time.Follow us on Socials!MACo on TwitterMACo on FacebookLearn More: Why Give | American Heart Association

How can you enjoy sugar without gaining weight, fuelling cravings or crashing later in the day? The answer, surprisingly, is not to cut it out. In today's episode, Professor Tim Spector and Professor Sarah Berry discuss which forms of sugar affect your blood sugar levels most, and what small changes you can make today to reduce the impact. They also explore how sharp blood sugar spikes and dips may affect hunger, energy, inflammation and long-term health. By the end of the episode, you'll know how to spot hidden sugars, how to avoid the afternoon slump and energy crashes, and, most importantly, how to enjoy cake with less impact on your blood sugar. Sugar is not the enemy. But could a few small changes help you enjoy sweet foods without the cycle of cravings, hunger and energy crashes?

CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Jenna Skowronski, and Hannah Every) discuss the continuum of prevention and heart failure with Drs. Anu Lala and Martha Gulati. Grounded in a clinical case of a 55-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity who is on the trajectory toward heart failure, this episode unpacks a paradigm-shifting framework from a joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement. The discussion explores how prevention should not be siloed from heart failure management but rather integrated across a patient’s lifespan—from primary prevention in at-risk individuals, to secondary prevention in those with established heart failure, to tertiary prevention in patients with advanced therapies such as LVADs and heart transplantation. The experts highlight the importance of aggressive risk factor management, biomarker-guided screening, the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level change to shift heart failure care from reactive to proactive. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls Systemic inflammatory diseases are associated with an elevated CVD risk that has significant implications for early detection, risk Heart failure prevention is a continuum, not a checkpoint. Prevention applies at every stage—from at-risk (Stage A) through advanced/post-transplant care—and every clinical encounter is an opportunity to intervene. The AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep, BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure) forms the foundation at every stage. Hypertension carries the highest population-attributable risk for heart failure of any modifiable risk factor. In the Framingham Heart Study, 91% of patients with newly diagnosed HF had pre-existing hypertension. The SPRINT trial demonstrated a 38% reduction in HF incidence with intensive blood pressure targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) identify individuals at heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. The ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines give a Class IIa recommendation for natriuretic peptide screening in at-risk patients. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is an underutilized screening tool that provides additional insight into CKM risk. The heart failure label does not close the prevention window—it accentuates it. Secondary prevention through GDMT optimization (quadruple therapy in HFrEF) and continued risk factor management remains critical. Tertiary prevention extends to post-LVAD and post-transplant patients, where hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and CKD management remain essential to long-term outcomes. Show notes For a comprehensive review, please review the full HFSA/ASPC Joint Scientific Statement: Lala A, Beavers C, Blumer V, et al. The Continuum of Prevention and Heart Failure in Cardiovascular Medicine. J Card Fail. 2026;32:75-105. doi:10.1016/j.cardfail.2025.06.013 1. What is the “continuum of prevention” framework, and how does it differ from traditional approaches to heart failure prevention? Historically, prevention and heart failure management have been treated as separate disciplines—primary prevention handled by preventive cardiologists and treatment managed by heart failure specialists. This joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement reframes prevention as a dynamic, continuous process that spans a patient’s entire lifespan, regardless of HF stage or ejection fraction. The framework maps onto the ACC/AHA HF staging system: Primary prevention targets Stage A (“at risk”) and Stage B (“pre-HF”) patients to reduce the burden of incident HF. Secondary prevention targets Stage C (symptomatic) and Stage D (advanced) patients to reduce the impact of established HF through GDMT optimization and ongoing risk factor management. Tertiary prevention encompasses risk factor management in patients with LVADs or heart transplants—populations where hypertension, diabetes, and obesity still drive outcomes. The Central Figure of the statement illustrates that Life’s Essential 8 (blood pressure and lipid control, diabetes management, exercise, sleep, smoking cessation, weight management, and diet/nutrition counseling) forms the foundation at every stage, with pharmacologic and device-based therapies layered on top as disease progresses (Figure) 2. How do traditional risk factors drive heart failure, and what should clinicians prioritize? Hypertension carries the greatest population-attributable risk for HF. In the Framingham Heart Study (N=5,143), HTN was associated with a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of HF, with a population-attributable risk of 39% in men and 59% in women. The SPRINT trial showed a 38% reduction in HF incidence and 25% reduction in the primary composite outcome with intensive BP targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) are associated with heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. In the ARIC study, incorporating NT-proBNP reclassified 20% of older adults without HF into Stage B. Factors that affect interpretation include age, sex, obesity (lower values), and CKD (higher values). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn): Concentrations above the 99th percentile are now included in the definition of Stage B HF. Troponin testing may complement natriuretic peptides, particularly when BNP/NT-proBNP values are ambiguous. Risk scores: The PCP-HF equation predicts 10-year HF risk using traditional risk factors plus QRS duration. The AHA PREVENT score incorporates HF risk calculation and includes markers of kidney function (albuminuria, eGFR), though it may underestimate risk in men and Black adults. The CKM syndrome staging framework (Stages 0–4) provides a holistic approach to assessing systemic cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic risk. 4. What are the key nontraditional risk factors and cross-cutting themes in heart failure prevention? Genetics: Pathogenic cardiomyopathy variants exist in ~1 in 200 individuals in the general population. The HFSA and ACMG recommend cascade testing to identify at-risk family members. Polygenic risk scores for dilated cardiomyopathy show a 3.8-fold risk for DCM in the top 10th percentile compared with the median. Sex-specific considerations: Women have 2.8 times the odds of developing HFpEF, while men have similarly increased odds of HFrEF. A complete obstetric/gynecologic history is essential—preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of HF. Peripartum cardiomyopathy requires intentional screening in high-risk populations. Cardiotoxic exposures: Clinicians should be aware of medications that cause direct myocardial toxicity (e.g., anthracyclines, trastuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors). A team-based approach with pharmacists can help optimize medication selection and risk factor modification. Social determinants of health: Environmental exposures (air pollution, arsenic, lead, cadmium), food insecurity, financial instability, and limited healthcare access contribute to HF risk and progression. Equity-focused, risk-based prevention strategies are needed. Psychological health: Depression is common in HF and independently associated with worse outcomes. Screening with brief questionnaires (e.g., PHQ-2) is recommended. Meditation, spirituality, and holistic wellness approaches remain underutilized. 5. What systems-level and policy changes are needed to move the needle on heart failure prevention? Multidisciplinary HF prevention clinics that bring together preventive cardiologists, HF specialists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, and genetic counselors are advocated by the statement. EHR-embedded risk stratification could proactively flag patients on a trajectory toward HF—analogous to sepsis alerts or fall risk flags—enabling earlier intervention, particularly for patients who may not reach a cardiologist. Cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilized, particularly in HFrEF (Class 2b recommendation) and HFpEF (not yet covered by Medicare). The HF-ACTION trial showed quality-of-life benefits, and the REHAB-HF trial showed particular benefit in older patients with HFpEF. Policy priorities include expanding insurance coverage for preventive screening and novel therapies (SGLT2i, GLP-1 RAs, nsMRAs), reducing clinical inertia through team-based care models with closer follow-up intervals, and ensuring equitable access to evidence-based therapies across diverse populations. Digital health and AI hold promise for personalized risk prediction, remote monitoring (e.g., wearable devices, implantable PA pressure monitors), and virtual cardiac rehabilitation to overcome access barriers.

Have you ever had a brilliant "Aha!" moment about your own behavior, only to find yourself repeating the same pattern just a few days later?   In this week's Report from the Creative Closet, I'm looking at the Insight Trap. We talk about why understanding your patterns isn't enough to actually change them—and why your brain is often "too well-trained" to stop self-monitoring just because you noticed it. From the neural grooves that keep us stuck in performative adulthood to the fear of flying without a net during play, we explore how to rebuild trust through messy, low-stakes repetition. It's an invitation to stop overthinking your way to a solution and start returning to the creative spontaneity you were born with.   I'm Nancy Norbeck, and I'm your Messy Muse Mentor. I help people feel alive again through curiosity and play.   In this episode, we discuss: The Insight Trap: Why patterns don't disappear just because we finally see them. Automatic Self-Monitoring: Why years of scanning for approval become a default "groove" in your brain. The Netless Flight: Why open-ended play feels terrifying to adults used to performing specific roles. Repetition vs. Analysis: Why small repetitions matter more than joining another chapter of Overthinkers Anonymous. Ready to send your inner critic to summer camp for an hour? We get together once a month for a relaxed, co-working-style session where you can work on whatever you want—without any pressure to do it "right." We send the shoulds and inner critics off to summer camp where they're kept busy rather than getting in our way. Join the Creativity Circle.
