Summary   In this episode of the Conquer podcast, hosts Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss the principles of training for longevity, the challenges within the CrossFit community, and the evolution of athlete connections. They explore the importance of understanding personal definitions of longevity, the risks versus rewards of training intensity, and the need for affiliates to adapt their training models to better serve their communities. The conversation emphasizes the significance of maintaining a strong foundation in training while also addressing the myths surrounding longevity training and the importance of delivering quality experiences in affiliate settings.   Takeaways Training for longevity means having a high quality of life. Personal definitions of longevity can vary greatly. Understanding risk versus reward is crucial in training. Longevity training is not just about easy workouts. Maintaining strength is essential for long-term health. Community connection is vital for the sport's survival. The evolution of CrossFit has impacted athlete connections. Affiliates need to adapt to serve their communities better. Experience in training matters more than just the program. People must start thinking about their long-term health now.

Last week we talked about a trial of a nurse and social worker outpatient palliative care intervention published in JAMA.  This week, we talk about the other major palliative care trial of default palliative care consults for hospitalized older adults with COPD, kidney disease, or dementia, published in the same issue of JAMA. (See also our accompanying editorial, first author Ashwin Kotwal who joins today as a co-host, and a podcast I recorded with JAMA editor Preeti Malani). For context, listen to the prior podcast with Scott on “nudges” and prior podcast with Kate on who should get palliative care. Three things I love about this podcast, and why you should listen.  First, in our editorial, we expressed concern about the length of stay metric not being patient centric, though important for health systems focused on cost savings.  It was refreshing to hear Scott and Kate express similar sentiments.  Second, we wanted to know how the palliative care clinicians felt about the increased workload - and we had some glimpses into those experiences (and hope for a future publication that fleshes it out further).  Finally, we heard about next steps and lessons learned, as though this was the largest pragmatic trial of palliative care to date, it isn't their last.  Much more to come.  And next time maybe we really will play the game where every time the word pragmatic is mentioned you have to drink

Natalie Dullerud is a first-year PhD student at Stanford University and recently received her Master's from University of Toronto. She previously graduated with a Bachelor's degree in mathematics from University of Southern California, with minors in computer science and chemistry. Natalie's research largely focuses on machine learning through differential privacy, algorithmic fairness, and applications to clinical and biological settings.Machine learning benefits from large training datasets, which may not always be possible to collect by any single entity, especially when using privacy-sensitive data. In many contexts, such as healthcare and finance, separate parties may wish to collaborate and learn from each other's data but are prevented from doing so due to privacy regulations. This talk will describe Confidential and Private Collaborative (CaPC) Learning, a recently published framework that allows entities to collaborate via privacy-preserving mechanisms in order to improve their own local models and maintain data privacy, from both a cryptographic and differentially private definition. The talk will encompass current definitions, concerns and techniques in the private distributed learning setting, then turn to the technical details and advantages to CaPC in practical settings.

Health care professionals are human, and as humans we experience loss both in and out of work.  You'd imagine though that our professional expertise and experiences in helping patients and families cope with loss and grief would be helpful in managing our own personal losses.  Turns out, it's maybe not. That was the lesson I learned from reading a new book edited by Matt Loscalzo along with Marshall Forstein called “Loss and Grief: Personal Stories of Doctors and Other Healthcare Professionals”.  It's a collection of personal stories of a small number of health professionals, including Craig Blinderman and Susan Block, who have been struck by personal illness and loss. On today's podcast, we've invited Matt Loscalzo and Craig Blinderman to talk about their book and the process they used to create these stories, which all stood out for their openness in talking about things that we as healthcare professionals often keep so very private.   We also brought in Vickie Leff to talk about the work she does with Wellness Debriefings.  These debriefings create a safe outlet for health care professionals to talk about the feelings resulting from their work.  Vickie worked with CAPC to create tools, including a facilitator guide, to encourage clinicians and their organizations to adopt debriefings.  So take a listen and check out some of these resources for healthcare provider loss, grief, and wellness: Loss and Grief: Personal Stories of Doctors and Other Healthcare Professionals Dates & registration info about debriefings offered by CAPC The CAPC Debrief Facilitator Training Manual we developed: PDF Download.

Meet RN Keisha Jones and Dr. Michelle Owens of Hospice Austin and hear how they take extraordinary care of their hospice team with a debriefing program. .  After seeing signs of accelerated compassion and moral fatigue in their hospice clinical team in 2021, Keisha and Michelle realized there was more needed beyond pizza parties.  They put their heads together to create a debriefing program.  As director of the clinical team, Keisha saw that nurses and other clinicians were deeply involved with patients, and the grief of not having families with dying patients was severely  affecting the team.  A safe space to discuss what was happening was first priority.  Using a debriefing facilitator trainer manual from CAPC (Center to Advance Palliative Care) website, they started the program.  Using Zoom video conferencing and including all disciplines, the women make the debriefings accessible to all disciplines and all shifts.  The team felt heard and safe.  The responses were positive and encouraging.    If you're interested in creating a debriefing program in your agency, you can access the debriefing facilitator trainer manual from CAPC here.    Find more information about hospice philosophy, end of life care, and self care for both personal and professional caregivers here.  Find more podcast episodes from The Heart of Hospice here: https://theheartofhospice.libsyn.com/ The hosts of The Heart of Hospice podcast would be honored to speak at your event or conference.  Send an email to helen@theheartofhospice.com or to jerry@theheartofhospice.com.  We'd love to partner with you!

“Diagnose and adios.”  That's the sad phrase that I've heard quoted more than once, representing caregivers' sentiment of what it's like to be told by a clinician that your loved one has dementia.  This week we talked with Zaldy Tan, Geriatrician and Director of the Memory and Aging program at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles.  With David Reuben at UCLA and others working LA realized that current caregiver training programs were lacking.  Caregivers for people with dementia are stressed, short on time, and thirsty for high impact information and skills training that can be delivered efficiently.  To meet this need they launched a new caregiver “bootcamp” 1-day training (with the help of Archstone Foundation which also funds GeriPal).  We cover many topics, including dissemination of the bootcamp to Spanish-speaking caregivers, converting to video boot camp during COVID, and ways you can partner with them to create your own boot camp.
