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.

In this episode, Tyson E Franklin sits down with Kyle Richardson, a leading podiatrist in Cairns, Queensland, and owner of FNQ Podiatry & Orthotics. Kyle shares his journey from a passionate young athlete with a keen interest in health and biomechanics to a successful podiatrist managing a thriving practice. They discuss the evolution of the podiatry profession, the challenges and rewards of working in regional areas, and Kyle's dedication to elevating the next generation of podiatrists. Kyle emphasises the need for new graduates to seek quality mentorship, be curious, and work hard to ensure a successful career.  You can connect with Kyle by email at kyle@fnqpodiatry.com.au If you have any questions about this podcast episode or are looking for a speaker for an upcoming event, please email me at tyson@podiatrylegends.com, and we can discuss the range of topics I cover.  Do you have questions about your podiatry business, team, personal goals and career direction? If you do, I'm here to help in any way I can. I recommend following the link below to my calendar and scheduling a free 30-minute Zoom call. I guarantee that after we talk, you will have far more clarity on what is best for you, your business and your career. Two podiatrists I have spoken with recently have had fantastic results following my advice. Podiatrist #1 made an extra $40K after our 30-minute phone call, and Podiatrist #2, after three monthly coaching sessions, increased their monthly revenue by $20K by tweaking their orthotic delivery system.
