S2E6: Escaping the Stockholm Syndrome in Primary Care/Healthcare with Christopher Crow, MD, CEO and Co-Founder of Catalyst Health and Dr. Nick. Do you wish for a Gordon Ramsay look-alike to take on a “nightmare” healthcare system? It is doubtful even Chef Ramsay could manage to fix some of these problems in his classical 24 hours approach but perhaps it needs some level of passion to take this on and address core challenges and problems throughout. Healthcare and in particular primary care needs the same level of teamwork and contributions as a well run kitchen, typically enabled by technology and workflow design but essential to deliver the well care into the community to everyone, especially to those with chronic conditions or lacking equitable access. As you will hear, like the financial interest it has a compounding effect on relationships amplifying each interaction and creating trust: Relationship Compounding. Shifting from fee for service the better way starts with building the associated support team that creates more community and improves outcomes while creating a satisfying work environment for the very staff we need to retain. Your better pill to swallow is to create concierge and accessible primary care services that cease focusing on billing codes and activity and shift to the focus to patient wellness and health interests.

One in four; that's how many people in this province don't have access to a family doctor. Even if you do have a family doctor getting an appointment may be difficult. Add to that the hours-long wait times and outright closures of some emergency rooms. It's no surprise that more people are turning to privately run healthcare providers. How busy are these private clinics, and how are they filing in some of the gaps in public health? June Tavenor runs Catalyst Health Solutions in Paradise

Legends about the Fountain of Youth have existed for millennia. In spite of rumors about discovery in Florida, the real fountain of youth comes from tapping into the growing research on longevity – the practical steps any of us can take to improve the quality – and potentially quantity – of the years we have remaining in this thing called life.Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Today's guest is Orthopedic surgeon and author Dr. Howard Luks. I first discovered Dr. Luks on Twitter. I've known hundreds of orthopedic surgeons over my 30+ years as a physical therapist, and this guy didn't sound like any ortho I'd ever met. He encouraged skipping the MRI, holding off on surgery and more. His credentials were impeccable, and when he agreed to join us waaaaay back in Episode #70 to discuss orthopedic mythbusting, you made it one of our most popular episodes of all time. We've continued to communicate regularly over the years since, and with the release of his new book, Longevity, Simplified, we just had to get him back on the show. You're going to love this one and likely send it to your cynical friends who still think running is bad for your knees, MRIs tell us everything and longevity is just based on luck. You can find his book Longevity Simplified at Howardluksmd.com/book or follow him on Twitter @hjluksLooking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

If you grew up a fan of the Rocky films, you'll no doubt remember the classic scene in Rocky III when Clubber Lane  (Mr. T) is asked his prediction for the match against Rocky. He glares into the camera and gives a single word answer: “Pain.” He was talking about the boxing match, but he could have been speaking about life. Pain is universal. For some, it may play a beneficial role – nudging us in a different direction before we create more of it. For others, it may rise to the level of dominating our thoughts and affecting our every decision on a day to day basis. But maybe there's a different way to approach pain that could change it's influence forever.Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast.

Over 50% of us spend more than a TOTAL of 5 hours each week outside, with a large % of that group totaling less than 3 hours/week. Does it matter?

Breathing. It's so simple that unless we're struggling through an asthma attack or drowning, it never even crosses our minds. But what if we're doing it wrong? No- seriously – what if developing some simple changes to the way in which we breath could improve our health, our energy levels and our outcomes across various aspects of life? Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Today's guest is James Nestor, journalist and best-selling author of the book that surprised even him - Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art.

And of course, we'll talk about what this means for our lives based on the evidence, not simply headlines.Looking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

What is it like to be one of the greatest athletes on the planet?

I've read a lot of bios preparing for the 230+ episodes of this show. They're all impressive and they set the stage, providing the credibility surrounding their insights. But today's guest is the first person who's bio made me look for the “just kidding – obviously no single person could do all of those things” note at the bottom. But there was nothing of the sort. Hold onto your hats folks – we're in for a crazy ride todayWelcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Our guest today is Colin O'Brady. After college, an exciting adventure in Thailand took a turn for the worse. He suffered burns across 25% of his body and doctors said he would be unlikely to walk normally again. They were right – he didn't walk normally again. Instead, he became a professional triathlete, the first person to complete a solo crossing of the Antarctica, set 10 world records, write a NY Times best-selling book and start a non-profit for kids. We'll obviously spend some time discussing some of the highlights, but more importantly, we'll be talking about YOUR adventure – your dreams – and what you can do to bring them to fruition.

Of course we would never do this, but why do so many “other” people believe propaganda, conspiracy theories and statements from various influencers that clearly lack any factual backing?

The traditional pattern in life is to hit the ground running when the alarm sounds in the morning, go full speed ahead all day with the possibility of a short break over the lunch hour, cap it off with a session at the gym, kids activities or errands before – if we're lucky – crashing on the couch for a bit of mindless TV before crawling into bed and then starting the whole process over the next day. What if there was a better approach available? A way to recharge our lives through a natural restoration process that wasn't based on some hokey-pokey song and dance but rather established, evidence-based practices? Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast.

A few months ago, Seth Godin, one of my favorite writers, wrote about HIS personal choice for book of the year. The topic was – at the time – of marginal interest but Seth rarely steers me wrong so I ordered the book. When it arrived, my first thought upon seeing the 618 pager was “ugggh – this could take awhile.” I sat down, opened it up for the first time and before even getting through the prologue, was hooked. I couldn't set it down, recommended it to anyone who would listen, and even sketched out some concepts in my journal related to what I was reading. Today's guest is the author of that game-changing book The Wizard and the Prophet: Charles Mann.Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Charles Mann is the author of The Wizard and the Prophet, a fascinating portrait of the opposing worldviews guiding our relationship of our planet and our survival as our population reaches 10 billion people in our lifetime. Intriguingly, this book presents no agenda. And that's what makes it so valuable. In addition to this masterpiece, Mr. Mann has written several other best-sellers, including another book of the year 1491, along with contributions to The Atlantic, NY Times, Vanity Fair, HBO and the TV series Law & Order.

What's your story? It's a valuable when in a setting where you're meeting new people. You've obviously got to be careful about tone but when asked in a genuine manner, it opens the door for the story the other person wants to share, in the way they'd like to share it rather than the traditional – and tired – “so what do you do?” Perhaps more importantly, tuning into your OWN story may be far more important.Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Our story – the narrative we tell ourselves ABOUT ourselves - plays a critical role in the way we live our lives, the journey we're willing to explore, and our interpretation of what happens along the way. Today's guest, Lisa Russell, will be our guide on preparing for that journey.

Friends,The focus of this interview is an approach to primary care that is divergent from the mainstream approach. It's different in a number of ways and it's creating outstanding outcomes for patients, payers, and providers. Our guest today, Dr. Chris Crow, has a compelling story to tell. He is an inspiring leader and a bold reframer of healthcare. I've had the privilege of speaking with him a number of times, and am impressed by his personal story, as well as what he and his colleagues have accomplished.Christopher Crow M.D. is the CEO and Founder of the Catalyst Health Network.  He is a nationally recognized healthcare innovator with numerous recognitions & awards; but more importantly he has spent the past 20 plus years focused on helping communities thrive through improving the delivery of healthcare.In this episode, we'll discover:Some of the underlying problems that greatly sub-optimize the performance of our healthcare system.The three major stakeholders in healthcare, which Chris and his colleagues have built their approach around.The “extended care team” approach that Chris and his colleagues have taken to create an ‘Advanced Primary Care'.The critical distinction between ‘Direct Primary Care' and ‘Advanced Primary Care'.How Chris is organizing a sustainable financial model that can support this enhanced model of primary care.  Early on in our discussion Chris points out that although American consumers demand outstanding customer service, convenience and quality in every other facet of their lives; when it comes to healthcare they have been gripped by what he terms “the tyranny of low expectations”. He goes on to state that the underlying problem is the status quo and inertia of legacy stakeholders, whom he describes as having turned the American health system into a ‘wealth system' - that is, a system that creates wealth for the few at the expense of the majority of Americans who can not easily access or afford healthcare. One of the major root cause problems is the strong pull to maintain Fee-For-Service payment, which incentivizes volume (visits, procedures, tests, imaging & hospitalizations) over preventive care. Another is the preferential payment afforded to subspecialty and acute-based care over primary care. Chris has been, admittedly, frustrated with the American healthcare system because, as he bluntly states, we know the solution. The “prescription for America” as Chris puts it, is “advanced primary care” - primary care that is accessible, affordable, effective, equitable, and sustainable for both patients and providers.The mechanism behind advanced primary care is through a tech-enabled, virtual, “extended care team” of pharmacists, care managers, social workers and care coordinators. This extended care team is particularly focused on more complex conditions and situations. Some of the services they offer include: (1) medication management and adherence programs; (2) managing formulary-specific medication changes; (3) a referral management and tracking system that maintains network integrity and helps patients and providers navigate to higher value specialists and surgeons; and (4) addressing social determinants of health.In this advanced primary care model, patients derive tremendous benefit in terms of greater connectivity and continuity of care, as well as more preventive care and improved outcomes.  Providers derive benefit through the additional support and the reduced administrative burden, as well as the support they receive in improving clinical quality. Payers derive benefit through more cost effective care and the reduction in total costs of care. There are numerous metrics and stats that demonstrate the outcomes Chris and his colleagues have achieved. One example that Chris shared is around access. The Healthcare Catalyst Network has reduced average waiting times to see a specialist from approximately 28 days down to 4 days. Chris also shares some of the massive cost reductions his network has achieved.The approach that Chris and his colleagues are taking is incredibly mission driven. They consider healthcare to be critical for communities to thrive; and they believe that a value-based, prospective-payment model of primary care is critical in delivering the health outcomes that patients, providers and payers all want. As Chris states, “We're trying to leave the world a better place and we believe that ‘advanced primary care for all' in America is the prescription.”Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

Creatine – it's the go-to supplement for professional and college athletes or muscleheads pumping iron in the gym, right? Yes – that was the thought back in the 1990s.

As we approach our 200th episode of this podcast, it's still not unusual for me to think “do the listeners know how often I question my role as the host? Yes – we're getting a lot of downloads now, but surely at some point they're going to say ‘why am I listening to Brad? What makes him special?' You get the idea. In spite of having 4 college degrees, being CEO of a company for 15 years and having reasonable success as an amateur endurance athlete, I can still (quite regularly!) feel like an imposter. Maybe you experience the same. It's a term we've come to know as Imposter Syndrome and the topic of today's discussion with Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Richard Orbe-Austin on this latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast.For more information about Dr. Richard Orbe-Austin, please see the following links:https://ulyssespress.com/books/own-your-greatness/https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Greatness-Overcome-Self-Doubt/dp/1646040244/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1633975011&sr=8-1Instagram  @drrichorbeaustin https://www.instagram.com/drrichorbeaustin/Twitter @drrorbeaustin https://twitter.com/drrorbeaustinFor more information about the Catalyst Community, earning your health & wellness coaching certification, the annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium and much more, please see https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ or reach out to us Results@CatalystCoachingInstitute.com If you'd like to share the Be A Catalyst! message in your world with a cool hoodie, t-shirt, water bottle stickers and more (100% of ALL profits go to charity), please visit https://teespring.com/stores/be-a-catalyst If you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Forum Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.  This is an awesome group if you are looking for encouragement, ideas, resources and more. Finally, if you enjoy the Catalyst Podcast, you might also enjoy the YouTube Coaching Channel, which provides a full library of freely available videos covering health, wellness & performance: https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannel

What if your orthopedic surgeon suggested you skip the MRI? Or if she suggested that knee scope probably isn't worth pursuing? Or pointed out your arthritis is not due to your activity? Would you look back at the sign on the door to make sure you were actually in a surgeon's office?Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching podcast – one of our classic Hidden Gem episodes! I'm your host, Dr. Bradford Cooper and thanks to the magic of twitter, I discovered Dr. Howard Lucks, a respected orthopedic surgeon who didn't sound like most orthopedic surgeons I'd met during my 30 years as a physical therapist and endurance athlete. The more I read, the more intrigued I became, and the more obvious you'd want to hear from him too.Dr. Lucks is a Board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine for almost 25 years. He is an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at New York Medical College and is the Chief of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at WMC Health, a branch of Westchester Medical Center. He's also a trail runner, amateur cyclists and father to 3 children.

Did you know that in 2016, you and I could be visiting over a cup of coffee and decide we wanted to be health & wellness coaches... then walk out the door and start calling ourselves a health & wellness coach? Or – a wellness company could hire nice people, put them in a call center with a script and then tell employers they offered health & wellness coaching. There were no standards. That all changed in 2017.Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast - today's guest is Leigh-Ann Webster, the Executive Director of the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching, or NBHWC, which brought standards of practice, a code of ethics and more to the world of health & wellness coaching.

Is it better to pursue short-term pleasure or long-term goals? Are hedonic goals a bad thing or a valuable resource? How do these relate to stress, willpower, goal-setting strategies and more? Dr. Katharina Bernecker, a former PhD student of Dr. Carol Dweck and now working in Zurich, shares her engaging and powerful insights in this unedited interview originally produced for the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast (https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/podcast for the edited version, which is also available via any podcast outlet). Her research was the same used by outstanding Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Gay in his September 2020 column on whether we should be pursuing long-term goals or giving into our short-term desires. Her insights were so powerful we decided to share an unedited video version of the interview in advance to our YouTube subscribers. And yes, she was also kind enough to share insights into the real Dr. Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset). This was a wonderful, insightful, thought-provoking discussion with one of the experts in the field. We trust you'll enjoy it.

  Even in the coaching world, there’s a lot of baloney that’s out there and all the fads and all the headline chasing. Bradford Cooper resists that with evidence-based work. Bradford is the CEO of The Catalyst Coaching Institute (https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/) . He teaches on how we can take meaningful steps that can surely change our lives for the better through wellness coaching which is focused on evidence-based practices in health and wellness. Stay clear of the shiny object that’s not going to help your life at all.  Through this episode, learn to appreciate the benefits of coaching and what effective professional coaching does. — Watch the episode:   Listen to the podcast: Wellness Coaching with Bradford Cooper We have Brad Cooper. Brad is the CEO of (https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/) . We’ve been trying to get this done for some time, but you were presenting in Germany and working on your PhD. I appreciate you taking time. It’s a joy to be here. Thank you very much. Tell us about the business and who you serve? There are two hats. At US Corporate Wellness, we serve employers. Employers that are looking to improve the lives of their employees in the health and wellness arena. A lot of people think of health and wellness as food and fitness, we go so far beyond that. We may be talking to them about stress or life balance or it could be food. It could be fitness. It could be sleep or any number of things. That hat worked in the trenches. We’re with the employer. We’re putting all those things together for them. The other hat we’ve been training wellness coaches. The wellness coaching industry has changed dramatically in the last few years. There’s a National Board Certification for wellness coaches. You and I can’t be having a cup of coffee and say, “You want to be a wellness coach?” You say, “Yeah, Brad. That sounds pretty good,” and we walk out the door as wellness coaches. There’s now an extensive training process. You have to go through an accredited program. You have to have a number of practice sessions, etc. We’re one of the programs that if you decide you want to be a health and wellness coach, you can go through our program, become certified and pursue that National Board exam. On the one hand, we serve employers. On the other hand, we serve the people out there doing it. Sometimes there’s an overlap. We’re known in the industry as the coaching experts. The companies that want top level of coaching, they come to us and that’s because they heard of us through The Catalyst Coaching Institute and they didn’t even know about US Corporate Wellness. For the business owner that maybe hasn’t gone down the road of approaching this as a strategy for the company, what’s the typical problem that business owner will recognize or into it in his company? Why do they typically reach out to you? There are a lot of answers to that. First off, they tend to look at their medical claims and say, “Are you kidding me? We’re going up another 8% and another 12% or whatever this year. We have to do something about that.” That doesn’t happen like this. You’ve got to get a good plan in place. Oftentimes, that’s the first thing that makes them reach out or have one of their team members reach out and find us and talk to you the details. The reality is it’s so much deeper than that. You talked about culture. I interviewed a guy on our podcast about resilience. What is the name of your podcast? It’s the Catalyst Health and Wellness Coaching (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catalyst-health-and-wellness-coaching-podcast/id1434101390) podcast. It’s focused on evidence-based practices in health and wellness. You and I were talking about all the baloney...
