Send us a textThis discussion on ways to improve MASH patient management comes from the early July roundtable on "Major Issues of the First Six Months of 2025." As a reminder, that roundtable included the three co-hosts (Louise, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green) Louise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. The discussion also extends to the role of NITs in diagnosis and patient management, and how providers need to shift the paradigm away from describing a patient by fibrosis stage and instead focus on the amount of fat in the liver and its overall suppleness.

Business law may not be the most glamorous part of running an Allied Health business — but it's one of the most crucial. In this re-run episode, Founding Director of Pidcock Law, Nicholas Pidcock will demystify the legal landscape for Allied Health Business Owners. It's time to explore why proactive legal relationships matter, how to avoid costly mistakes, and what to prioritise in those early years of business. Nicholas shares his wealth of experience across business law, breaking down common pain points and showing owners how to protect their business, their people, and their peace of mind. Topics covered on start-ups, contracts and employment, leases and insurance: Start-ups done right – Proactive legal check-ins, choosing the right entity (sole trader vs company), and building solid foundations early. Contracts & employment – Service agreements that fit your practice (not templates), employees vs contractors, and what to include in employment agreements. Leases & insurance – What you're really signing (directors' guarantees, disclosure statements) and the must-have cover: PI, public liability, business interruption, and personal protection. P.S.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 13 Louise Campbell, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green continue their discussion of some major issues from earlier this year, while co-authors Aleksander Krag and Stine Johanset join Roger to discuss their recent publication in The Lancet, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." 00:04:45 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Integrated Patient ManagementLouise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. 00:21:02 - Newsmakers: Aleksander Krag and Stine Johansen discuss Screening for Advanced Liver DiseaseLast month, The Lancet posted online an article from Stine Johansen, Fredrik Åberg, Emmanuel Tsochatzis and Aleksander Krag, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." The article aims to update the Wilson and Jungner criteria, originally developed in 1960, to address modern needs and issues. In this conversation, Professor Krag and Dr. Johansen join Roger Green to discuss their article. There are many nuances and high points to cover in this thoughtful, fairly lengthy conversation, but the key point is that screening a mass population for HCC or cirrhosis has an entirely different set of issues and criteria compared to the screening usually discussed on this podcast, which involves identifying a population at increased risk for MASLD or MASH and screening them. 00:54:42 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Changes in US Health Policy and Potential for Dynamism in the In-Office Scanning Market Roger drives this conversation, focusing on two very different, yet very important issues: the first is the increasing dynamism of the in-office scanning market, with leader Echosens developing new products and services, while companies like e-Scopics, Sonic Incytes, and Mindray (Hepatus) are introducing new devices with competing profiles. Roger discusses the idea that some scanners keep all data resident in the machine, while others send it immediately to the cloud. Louise suggests that we should welcome any reliable scanning device to the market. Separately, he lists some concerns about how the Trump Administration's focus on cutting services to the poor, coupled with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s distrust of pharmaceuticals and mainstream health research, might limit the number of Americans with access to healthcare and the kinds of care they can access. At the end of this conversation, Roger asks Jörn and Louise what they consider major issues for the next six months.01:11:40 - Business Report and Wrap-Up

Send us a textKey Opinion Leaders Manal Abdelmalek, Naim Alkhouri, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green to discuss the FDA's approval of semaglutide for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH. This conversation centers on the roles that new technologies and an expanded APP population will play in MASLD and MASH management in the US, and concludes by exploring how care might look different 12 months from now, and then in subsequent years. As panelists identify some of the changes they foresee if we are to manage the tsunami of undiagnosed MASLD patients, many comments touch on themes discussed earlier in this episode. A couple are unique. Zobair and Scott discuss the increased role that artificial intelligence and big data analytics will play in identifying high-risk patients and improving clinical pathways. Additionally, Zobair notes that we must remember that the vast majority of MASLD patients will never develop MASH. Manal foresees a more sophisticated approach to selecting pharmacotherapies as prescribers have a broader set of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Scott anticipates a "paradigm shift" in which endocrinologists view MASH similarly to how they view retinopathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Naim suggests that one year will not look tremendously different from today, but that five years from now will be an entirely different picture, which he describes in some detail. 

Send us a textKey Opinion Leaders Manal Abdelmalek, Naim Alkhouri, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green to discuss the FDA's approval of semaglutide for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH. This conversation focuses on how the US healthcare system must adapt to handle the growing number of MASH and MASLD patients who might seek treatment, given likely increases in publicity and education.The conversation starts with a focus on the implications of semaglutide approval for hepatologists. Naim states that many hepatologists are currently uncomfortable managing patients on GLP-1 agonists. This will need to change. Manal points out that providers must check for cirrhosis when testing for MASH and understand how to respond accordingly. An increase in the number of providers having access to in-office scanning devices will facilitate this process.Zobair shifts to a larger point:  even if all related specialists integrate MASH into their practices, the actual patient care demand will require alternative pathways in which the responsibility for patient care will rest with specialist APPs. The number of APPs necessary to handle this load and trained to do so does not currently exist in the US. Increased APP training must, and will, become an area for increased investment and focus.After Naim Alkhouri describes some of the differences between resmetirom and semaglutide in terms of practical treatment decisions, the discussion focuses on why MASLD and MASH will create unique challenges for hepatology practices. Manal views the issue as a matter of time; practices cannot absorb large numbers of new, non-urgent patients. Naim suggests that the real issue is the business question: specialists today do not profit simply from treating patients. Zobair agrees with Naim and notes that the challenge is not unique to hepatology. He expresses the hope that AI and efficient database management will make it easier to target, screen, diagnose and treat patients...given sufficient providers (mostly APPs) to treat them.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up, Season 6, Episode 12This week's episode is a special three-part roundtable on the implications of the FDA's recent approval of semaglutide. Naim Alkhouri, Manal Abdelmalek, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green in a discussion that focuses less on specifics of pharmacotherapy and more on how having two drugs available will change MASH management in the US.00:08:45 - Part I: How Will The Semaglutide Approval Affect Patient Treatment and Pharmacotherapy?The group starts by describing the sense of "enthusiasm" and "fulfillment" hepatology drug developers feel to see two drugs approved in the US and many other major changes to come (more drug approvals, FDA acceptance of a path to approval that is not based on liver biopsy). One interesting takeaway is that while the approval of semaglutide will likely change the number of patients treated with MASH pharmacotherapy, the greater impact of this approval will be on public awareness of MASH and the accompanying demand for treatment. In terms of actual drug use, the first major change will come among patients living with obesity but not Type 2 diabetes. Most of these patients previously saw their semaglutide prescriptions rejected for payment by health insurers. However, many of these patients will be living with MASH, and they are likely to see their prescriptions approved. Instead, the largest impact may involve increased education and awareness. Scott pointed out that endocrinologists, who frequently prescribe incretin agonists, will have reason to learn how to diagnose and manage MASH in patients they already treat. Zobair noted that an array of companies, starting with pharmaceutical manufacturers and scanning companies, will dramatically increase investments in prescriber and patient education.00:25:30 - Part II: How the Structure of Medical Practice Is Likely To ChangeNaim states that many hepatologists are currently uncomfortable managing patients on GLP-1 agonists. This will need to change. Manal points out that providers must check for cirrhosis when testing for MASH and understand how to respond accordingly. An increase in the number of providers having access to in-office scanning devices will facilitate this process. Zobair states that even if all related specialists integrate MASH into their practices, the actual patient care demand will require alternative pathways in which the responsibility for patient care will rest with specialist APPs. After Naim Alkhouri describes some of the differences between resmetirom and semaglutide in terms of practical treatment decisions, the discussion focuses on why MASLD and MASH will create unique challenges for hepatology practices. Manal views the issue as a matter of time; practices cannot absorb large numbers of new, non-urgent patients. Naim suggests that the real issue is the business question: specialists today do not profit simply from treating patients. Zobair agrees with Naim and notes that the challenge is not unique to hepatology. He expresses the hope that AI and efficient database management will make it easier to target patients, screen, diagnose and treat them. 00:44:17 - Part III: What Happens Next?In this final section, panelists identify some of the changes they foresee if we are to manage the tsunami of undiagnosed MASLD patients. Many of the comments touch on themes discussed earlier in this episode, but a couple are unique. Zobair states we must remember that the vast majority of MASLD patients will never develop MASH. Manal foresees a more sophisticated approach to selecting pharmacotherapies as prescribers have a broader set of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Scotts anticipates a "paradigm shift" in which providers come to view MASH similarly to how they view diabetic comorbidities.

Allied health professionals are a group of healthcare providers whose role and expertise complement the work of physicians. They include specialists such as physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, nutritionists, and many more. They are just as important as your Movement Disorders Specialists and Neurologists and play a vital role in creating a comprehensive, well-rounded Parkinson's care team that attends to your individual needs and addresses your overall well-being. Many people are familiar with physical and speech therapists, but fewer recognize the valuable benefits of working with an occupational therapist (OT). An OT helps identify the activities that you enjoy and ensures strategies are in place so you can continue doing what matters most. They work with you to adapt your environment, tap into your strengths, and create realistic strategies so you can keep living life on your terms. In this episode, Karyssa Silva, MS, OTR/L, CLT, an occupational therapist at Aldersbridge Physical Therapy & Wellness Outpatient Center in Rhode Island, shares how she helps people with Parkinson's with daily tasks and activities that bring them joy. She works closely with people with PD and their loved ones to address physical and mental challenges, empowering them to stay engaged in the activities they value the most. During the episode, Karyssa mentions that people sometimes walk away from their OT appointment and wonder if they missed something important. Here's a worksheet to help organize your thoughts and make the most of your time during appointments. Follow and rate us on your favorite podcast platform to be notified when there's a new episode!

Send us a textRoger Green talks with LiverRight CEO Brandon Tudor and Chief Medical Officer Alexander Lalos about the launch of LiverRight, America's first virtual hepatology clinic, which has recently begun treating patients.Brandon starts the conversation by telling the story of how he and his partner, Pete Celano, started LiverRight: they saw liver disease as a growing disease in a medical system that was ill-equipped to provide front-line care. When the two men "secret shopped" getting doctor's appointments, they found extremely long waits (3-5 months in examples provided throughout this conversation) for appointments that put stress on the patients and their schedules (days off from work, hours of travel to the clinic). Brandon gave one example in Arizona, where LiverRight could get a hepatologist certified and accepted by insurance months faster than the patient could get an appointment at a local hepatology center. Al amplifies the issue by noting that when the patient in Arizona was scheduled to see a transplant hepatologist, who certainly could treat the patient but was "not really appropriately matched to [the patient's] condition. To Al, who is a transplant hepatologist himself, the virtual approach provides three benefits: convenience, speed and a better match between provider and disease. As Al notes, transplant hepatologists spend their time doing transplants, an important and highly specialized skill. A far broader swath of providers could treat a patient seeking testing for MASLD. Al notes two more benefits he sees with virtual clinics. After online triage during the initial visit, the patient is routed to the level and type of provider best matched to that individual's need for care. The second benefit, which Al says "may sound crazy," is that an online visit, where the provider is looking directly at the computer (and patient) while entering information, feels far more personal than an in-person visit where the provider is looking at the computer monitor instead of the patient. The rest of the discussion covers various advantages that the LiverRight executives believe accrue from virtual care. The most important, in Brandon's words, is that virtual "allows us to move to a preventive world instead of a reactive world." One that Al mentions is that the quality and breadth of knowledge of the virtual providers is higher than he expected and leads to both guidelines that are appropriate to task and special knowledge in key areas such as nutrition.NOTE: Roger Green is a paid advisor to LiverRight

Send us a textThis conversation is the third and final segment of SurfingMASH's July discussion of #SLDThinkTank 2025. In addition to co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include Dr. Kristina Curtis of Applied Behaviour Change, a UK-based consultancy. Louise begins this conversation by highlighting the low level of correct information (and, frequently, high level of passionately-held misinformation) that adults have about diet and her success in improving a family's behavior by educating parents about how to better help their children. Kristina replies that while knowledge and education are critical, they are not sufficient in themselves. She lists a variety of social or life priority factors that can also drive poor eating, from taking out fast food when too hungry to cook to not wanting to fight with one's children about eating their vegetables to comparing themselves to other, more obese friends or acquaintances.Roger asks about the role politicians can play on these kinds of issues. Jörn observed that politicians at the Think Tank were motivated to act and thought about how to support better behavior. Louise noted that multi-metabolic programs with broad support can help many MASLD patients, even though MASLD is not in the stated goal for the program. Roger and Kristina note that politicians and government budget manager are motivated by short-term solutions with little thought to longer term consequences.In the last part of this conversation, Roger asks the group to describe their reactions leavin the Think Tank in a single word. Louise and Kristina both choose "enlightened." Jörn chooses "inspiring" to describe Louise's comments and "motivating" to describe his own reaction. Listen to the conversation to hear the reasoning behind these word choices.

In this episode, we welcome back Tania from Tania Gomez Consulting.Tania chats with Debbie about the recent NDIS Pricing Arrangements & Price Limits (applicable as of 1st July 2025) and why there is so much concern within the NDIS community over financial viability and quality of service provision following a lack of insufficient pricing increases and in some cases price cuts for certain sectors, particularly Support Coordination, Plan Management and Allied Health operators in rural/remote areas.Support CoordinationLimited Increases: Only Level 1 Support Coordination (applicable to a small minority of participants) received a price increase, linked to minimum wage changes. The major categories, Levels 2 and 3, saw no meaningful increases, despite escalating business costs (inflation, super, compliance).Financial Pressure: Ongoing price freezes have not kept pace with rising costs. Providers report increased stress, challenges in retaining qualified staff, and, in some regions, service withdrawal by major agencies.  The release of the 2025–26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements & Price Limits has prompted significant concern within the NDIS provider community. While some pricing categories have been indexed, critical areas such as Support Coordination, Plan Management, and Allied Health—particularly in rural and remote regions—face a mix of price freezes, reductions, and withdrawal of rural loadings. These decisions are fuelling anxiety over the financial viability of providers and the future quality of services offered to participants. Sector-wide anxiety stems from price caps failing to align with rising operational costs, with some sectors facing outright funding reductions or regional loading losses. Listen to hear Tania's take on what this all means for the sector.---------------------------------SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

In this soulful episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with intuitive healer and spiritual coach Catherine Christening to explore how tuning into your intuition can transform your life. Catherine shares her powerful journey from burnout and chronic stress to a life of flow, balance, and joy—all through the tools of muscle testing, daily rituals, and embracing her inner voice. If you've ever felt stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from your purpose, this conversation will help you reconnect with your authentic self. About the Guest: Catherine Christening is an intuitive healer, spiritual coach, and former Allied Health professional who now leads transformative retreats, writes intuitive novels and non-fiction, and hosts the podcast Willow Healing Matters. Through muscle testing, writing, and intuitive downloads, she empowers people worldwide to trust their inner wisdom and live aligned, fulfilling lives. Key Takeaways: Muscle testing is a powerful tool to access intuition through the body's energy and meridians. Building trust with your inner voice starts small—like choosing what to eat or wear. Burnout often stems from control, overwork, and disconnection from joy. Putting yourself first isn't selfish—it's essential. When your cup overflows, others benefit too. Catherine's intuitive writing process proves that creativity can flow when we let go of expectations and trust the unseen. Gratitude, meditation, and morning rituals can reset your mindset and reconnect you with your purpose.

Allied health professionals are a group of healthcare providers whose role and expertise complement the work of physicians. These include specialists such as physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, nutritionists, and many more. They are just as important as your Movement Disorders Specialists and Neurologists, and play a vital role in creating a comprehensive, well-rounded Parkinson's care team that caters to your individual needs and addresses your overall well-being. In this second episode of our Allied Health Spotlight series, we highlight the benefits of working with a speech-language pathologist early on in your Parkinson's journey. Parkinson's disease (PD) affects movement throughout the body, including the face, mouth, throat, and breathing muscles. As the disease progresses, people with PD may develop problems with speaking and swallowing. This can not only impact eating habits, but can also lead to soft voice and drooling, making conversations during social gatherings uncomfortable.  In this episode, Melissa Grassia Chisholm, MS, CCC-SLP, a licensed speech pathologist and a voice-swallow airway expert, explains how speech and swallowing problems can develop in people with PD.  She also discusses different diagnostic procedures, therapies, and programs that can help improve speech and swallowing.
