What's the number one factor that determines whether a chiropractor will have success in practice? I get asked this question all the time and my answer is simple…CERTAINTY! A rock solid certainty in what you do and the value that it delivers to your patients and the wider community will make up for just about every other short coming in practice. For many chiropractors though, the journey towards developing certainty is akin to Frodo's journey in Lord Of The Rings… it's full of dragons, failure and unclimbable mountains. The good news is, it doesn't have to be that way. Martin Harvey is back on the podcast this week and he shares a brilliant framework that helps chiropractors navigate through this journey in a predictable manner. Following Martin's process will improve your certainty in chiropractic! Enjoy the show. Thanks for all you do. Keep saving lives Angus Links: Website: https://www.alignchiropractic.com.au Bio: Dr Martin Harvey has a special interest in helping people with headaches and other stress related issues as well as taking care of children and babies.

Join us for an enlightening episode of the LowCarbUSA® podcast, where host Doug Reynolds sits down with Dr. Paul Mason, a distinguished sports and exercise medicine physician, to discuss the nuances of blood test interpretation and preview the upcoming LowCarbUSA®  9th Annual San Diego Symposium for Metabolic Health, to be held August 15-18. Meet Dr. Paul Mason Dr. Mason uses an evidence-based approach to challenge conventional medical wisdom on topics such as saturated fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, and sun exposure. He has authored a chapter on nutrition in the textbook Clinical Sports Medicine and is actively involved in curriculum development and teaching within the Australasian College of Sports and Exercise Medicine. His approach to managing complex medical conditions spans patients from the general public to elite athletes, including the Australian Olympic rowing team. Revolutionizing Blood Test Interpretation In the podcast, he offers profound insights into the often misunderstood realm of blood tests. "The concept of having biomarkers that reflect our health is a very good one," he explains, "but the trouble is, some of them are more reliable than others, and sometimes the reference intervals are completely out of whack." He emphasizes the need to interpret blood test results through the lens of optimal health rather than population averages and he believes reference intervals should be set using data on longevity. "The people who take statins whose cholesterol actually lowers the most actually have the worst survival," he noted, highlighting issues with overly aggressive cholesterol lowering. He went on to explain, "Every blood panel I do is actually personalized to their history." He also discussed the complexities of evaluating markers like ferritin and the importance of considering inflammation. His meticulous and systematic approach ensures that each patient receives a nuanced and accurate health evaluation. Optimizing Health for Longevity Dr. Mason advocates for using all-cause mortality data to set health benchmarks, stating, “My favorite outcome in science is mortality. And that's because you can't fudge it. In terms of clinical outcomes, nothing beats living. And you can't fake that. You can't have a mischievous researcher come through and manipulate the methodology too much when you've got mortality as an outcome.” Listeners also learned how subtle factors like thyroid function can influence cholesterol levels. He  provides valuable insights on the importance of thyroid health and its impact on cholesterol levels. "An underactive thyroid can elevate your triglyceride levels and your cholesterol levels," he explains, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various health markers. Join Us at the Symposium in San Diego, August 15-18 This podcast episode is just a glimpse of the comprehensive, science-backed health insights Dr. Mason will share at the 9th Annual San Diego Symposium for Metabolic Health, August 15-18. Don't miss this opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge and interact with leading experts in metabolic health. This year's symposium will feature a full day, Thursday, August 15th, dedicated to exploring the connection between mental health and metabolic disease.

Overcrowding in hospital emergency departments is not being caused by people increasingly showing up with minor conditions, despite what some people may think. Senior doctors writing in Friday's issue of the New Zealand Medical Journal say patients presenting at EDs generally do require urgent care, but hospitals need to be adequately resourced to safely manage the workload. It comes amid growing concern about long waits in hospital emergency departments. New Zealand chair of the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine Dr Kate Allan spoke to Corin Dann.

In this conversation, we will examine the concept and the reality of psychological burnout among Paramedics. The effects of burnout are estimated to cost over $300 billion annually, with the WHO forecasting a burnout pandemic in the next decade.

Guys I know I get excited about every single guest we're lucky to have on the show, but this week's is particularly special for so many reasons -      we've all had Matilda's fever -      before we even get to the Tilly's, this guest's journey is absolutely incredible -      she's basically Ang's ultimate idol so Ang actually joined in on this interview -      and she has barely done any other interviews and we are SO grateful that she said yes to the yayborhood because this is genuinely one of my favourite episodes in a long time! In fact, we enjoyed it so much and it was so jam packed with pearls of wisdom that we went longer than usual AND are coming back for part two because there's so much more we wanted to cover. I can't quite believe we're saying this but we are thrilled to welcome to seize the yay, the Matilda's team doctor, Dr Brandi Cole. She tells the story best herself so I won't go on too long in this intro but just quickly, there are few things Dr Brandi hasn't excelled in! Early in life, she began as an athlete herself being the former captain of the Australian Women's Oztag team, playing both touch and hockey for NSW in the past and being an Australian and World gold medalist in beach sprint relay in Surf Life Saving. She then dkid her undergrad in Physio at Sydney Uni in 2003, which is enough for many, but wen ont to then do Medicine in 2008 and become a Specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine Physician having gained fellowship of the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians in 2019. Dr Brandi completed a PhD on optimising the management of rotator cuff dysfunction through the University of New South Wales in 2018. And all this before she became the team doctor for the Matilda's INCLUDING at this recent captivating World Cup tournament (as well as working with Sydney FC and numerous mens and womens rugby teams). AND she's a Mum of two and has her own practice… like WHAT A WOMAN!!!   I could rave about this woman for hours, which I kind of did in this episode, so I'll stop myself there and let you enjoy. I hope you guys are as inspired by this one as we were!!!

A call tonight for security staff 24/7 at every emergency department in the country in response to a growing number of violent incidents. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine wants all political parties to promise ahead of the election they will deliver. It says long waits for care are dangerous for everyone, with rising levels of aggression in EDs and appropriately trained security staff need to be posted around the clock to protect struggling staff. An RNZ investigation in August showed staff at North shore and Waitakere Hospitals have called security or hit panic buttons thousands of times within a seven month period, due to violence and abuse by patients and visitors. That included 529 code greys where staff called security via an internal emgergency number. Guards also had to physically restrain people on 237 separate ocassions during that time.

A nurses union says having more staff will reduce violence in emergency departments. There have been more than 7,000 assaults of public health employees in the two years to April. The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine is calling for around-the-clock security guards in all EDs. NZNO's Kerri Nuku says reducing wait times will lower the tension. "If we had more nurses, more doctors on the floor to be able to deal with the crisis- ED departments across the whole workforce are short."

There are question marks hanging over Waikato Hospital's continuously congested emergency department with ambulances again forced to wait with sick patients. St John had to declare what they describe as a "major incident" on Monday night, caused by delays in transferring patients to the hospital. Te Whatu Ora confirmed its emergency department was at 103 percent occupancy at the time with a total 143 patients, one of the busiest periods it has experienced. This is the second instance this month in which the hospital's pinched ED department has resulted in formal notices being issued. New Zealand chair of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine Dr Kate Allan spoke to Corin Dann.

Thyroid conditions. It's a subject I'm consistently asked about online and one that really requires some understanding of how interconnected our systems are and how you can't simply ‘eat for your thyroid' without appreciating the multiple insults to our thyroid glands from lifestyle factors, drugs, toxins, sleep, stress and our wider environment.This is a hefty subject but my guest on the podcast today Dr Amy Gajjar is an expert with over 2 decades of experience treating patients and a rich understanding of integrative medicine.Dr Amy is an Integrative Physician (GP) combining Functional Medicine, Coaching, Yoga and an Ayurvedic Lifestyle.

This episode of EMS One-Stop With Rob Lawrence is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders. To learn more, visit lexipol.com. In this EMS One-Stop international edition, this month, Rob Lawrence talks with Professor Tony Walker, immediate past chief executive officer of Ambulance Victoria, a professor with the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and Bachelor Paramedic Studies at Monash University. While in charge of Ambulance Victoria, Tony led significant transformation to improve the health and well-being of their workforce and the response they provide to the community. In this broad-reaching discussion, Tony explains the structure, organization and funding models of EMS down under and then Rob and Tony identify current challenges, issues and solutions common to both the U.S. and Australia, including the dreaded hospital handover challenges as well as reduction in lights and siren responses. TOP QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE “We know at least one in five people who call triple zero, our 911 equivalent, don't require an emergency ambulance and so new models of care are being developed.” “When people call triple zero, they no longer expect that they will automatically get an ambulance, as often described to people, you don't walk into a hospital triage and say I'd like you to admit me to the coronary care unit,, you get triaged, you work out what is wrong by a health professional and you get the care you need; that's exactly the same being applied in the paradigm of ambulance service delivery here in Victoria and the rest of Australia.” “In the next decade or so, I wouldn't be surprised if we see predominantly women making up the majority of staff working on frontline ambulances.” “New models of care have been developed. We have looked at the MPDS grid and where the disposition of those patients go to so we have reduced significantly the number of lights and sirens responses which has enabled us.” “Issues of transfer of care in hospital are a real challenge for ambulance services in the time it takes to transfer patients and there is no easy fix for that.” “If you are a paramedic who has gone to university, done your training, wants to deliver care and you are spending a significant proportion of your shift in an emergency department caring for your patient before he can offload it, that can be demoralizing and that probably goes against why you joined in the first place.” EPISODE CONTENTS 1:16 Introducing Tony Walker 2:00 The scale and scope of Australian Services 05:45 Healthcare funding – how does the patient get their healthcare 7:45 EMS system organization and deployment 09:15 Degrees and paramedic education 11:50 Student debt … or not! 14:10 Is Australia over-producing graduate medics? 16:40 Alternative treatment models 19:00 Reducing lights and siren responses 21:08 Public expectation education 23:02 Looking after your people 25:50 Handover delay at the ED – a global issue 27:00 Gender and diversity 27:34 Scheduling and rostering – creating a flexible roster that meets the needs of the individual and service 28:40 Hospital capacity and flow issues 31:08 How can you work in Australia?

An emergency medicine specialist in Auckland says doctors are worried about what will happen during winter after Auckland Hospital's emergency department had to turn away ambulances on Monday night. Dr Kate Allan, who represents the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine, says patients who would ordinarily have gone to the closest hospital had to be sent elsewhere, meaning they waited longer for emergency treatment, and were then further away from family and friends. At one point, about a dozen ambulances were lined up at the hospital. Dr Allan says the problem is only getting worse. She spoke to Guyon Espiner.

This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Peter Brukner, one of the OGs in the low carbohydrate space. They discuss how he was influenced by Professor Tim Noakes to do something about his own health when we realised he was no longer the fit, metabolically healthy man he was, and was challenged to do something about it. His own success with improving his metabolic markers then got him interested in the wider application of the approach for fat loss, improving blood sugar control and reversing symptoms of Type 2 diabetes led Dr Brukner to broaden his practice to one that educated and informed on the power of low carbohydrate diets for chronic disease. This has lead to him authoring a book (Fat Lot of Good) and setting up a not for profit organisation (Sugar by Half) and a new diabetes reversal programme, Defeat Diabetes. Peter Brukner is a specialist sports and exercise physician whose most recent position has been Australian cricket team doctor for the past five years.Peter is the founding partner of Olympic Park Sports Medicine Centre in Melbourne and Professor of Sports Medicine at Latrobe University. A founding Executive Member of the Australasian College of Sports Physicians, he served two terms as President and played a key role in establishing sports medicine as a medical specialty in Australia.Peter is the co-author of the widely used text book Clinical Sports Medicine and has been team physician for professional football clubs as well as national athletics, swimming, soccer and men's hockey teams including Olympic and Commonwealth Games. Peter was the Socceroos Team Doctor at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and more recently Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science at Liverpool Football Club.He is the co-founder of the public health campaign SugarByHalf and is committed to the challenge of improving the nation's health with improved diet and increased physical activity. Links:Defeat Diabetes WebsiteBook: A Fat Lot of Good Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all NuZest Products with the code MIKKI20 at www.nuzest.co.nzCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz
