An NIH study from last year found that new cases of chronic pain in the United States occur more often than new cases of many other common serious conditions like diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure. What's more, among people with chronic pain, nearly two-thirds are still suffering a year later. Naturopathic clinician Timothy Schwaiger, ND, utilizes a comprehensive, integrative approach to treat and heal chronic pain. In this interview, he discusses diet, lifestyle, dietary supplements, and other integrative interventions he has found to be successful that are also backed by evidence-informed research. Dr. Schwaiger is currently the Chief Medical Director and Executive Director of Clinical Operations at Bastyr University. About the Expert Timothy Schwaiger, ND, MA, received his naturopathic degree from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona, and completed a two-year residency there in Family Medicine. He has a master of arts degree from Webster University in Health Care Management. Schwaiger currently serves as chief medical director, executive director of clinical operations, and professor of naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University. There, he provides vision and direction and is responsible for developing a strategic plan that fosters excellent student learning opportunities, an enriching practice environment for private practitioners, compassionate patient scheduling approaches, and effective and efficient retail operations.

“Most leaders never get trained on how to support the health and well-being of their workforce,” says Dr. Richard Safeer, Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being at Johns Hopkins Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Safeer, author of “A Cure for the Common Company,” discusses his shift from family medicine to spearheading workplace health initiatives. He stresses that true organizational change goes beyond superficial wellness programs, advocating for a fundamental shift in how companies view and support employee health.   Dr. Safeer highlights the critical role of leadership in modeling healthy behaviors and integrating well-being into the core business strategy. He challenges current practices, noting that less than 3% of Americans live fully healthy lifestyles, largely due to ineffective corporate support systems. His advice to HR leaders and executives is clear: prioritize genuine health habits and create a culture where well-being is as fundamental as any business operation. Through patience and persistence, Dr. Safeer believes that impactful, lasting changes can be achieved, transforming the workplace into a catalyst for well-being.   Quotes “We think that it's our own responsibility to live a healthier life. Sure, we can be responsible for ourselves. But we also have to recognize that most of us don't live on an island. We live with people in our home and we live with people in the workplace. And it's really the collection of those forces that shape our ability to make healthier choices and have healthier emotions. One of my catchphrases is that well-being is a team sport because we really can't win alone. (13:26 | Dr. Richard Safeer)  “We can be proactive in the workplace… UKG did a study about a year and a half ago… And they found out that just as many people who said their spouse impacts their mental health also said their manager impacts their mental health. That's how powerful we are as leaders. And I don't think most leaders are trying to be a negative force in their team's life, but they don't recognize it. And then they aren't helped. We don't help them understand what they can do to be a more positive force.” (21:21 | Dr. Richard Safeer) “We need to understand that if we're truly going to optimize the well-being of our workforce, we need to look at this not only as an individual challenge, but an organizational challenge, which will require organizational change.” (37:21 | Dr. Richard Safeer)    Links Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn more about Richard Safeer, MD richardsafeer.com  linkedin.com/in/richardsafeer/    Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

"I was going from one patient to the next in 15 minutes, and it was frustrating because it wasn't enough time to make a difference with my patients. ... I need to be where they are. They're spending almost 2000 hours a year at work. And I think I can have a bigger impact if I'm at the workplace. So that started my journey to Johns Hopkins Medicine."

Happy New Year!!!Many of us start each January by setting goals, deciding on priorities, and declaring resolutions for the upcoming year.  The most common goals each year center around health and well-being, with many falling under the umbrella of “getting in shape” or “losing weight.”According to a new survey by Forbes Health, the top resolutions for 2024 include improving fitness, finances, and mental health. "Getting to the gym more, drinking less, and being more active and healthy,"  Regardless of the specifics of our goals, as the ball drops on New Year's Eve, millions focus intention on lifestyle changes. We want to start fresh and become a better, healthier, and happier version of ourselves. Welcome to Episode Thirty-one of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.  On this episode, we sat down with workplace health pioneer, author, and thought leader Richard Safeer, M.D. For the past 20 years, Dr. Safeer has assessed cultures, trained leaders, and conducted and explored research on the intersection of individual and organizational behavior. He currently serves as the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being for Johns Hopkins Medicine, where he leads the Healthy at Hopkins employee health and well-being strategy.    In early 2023, Richard released A Cure for the Common Company: A Well-Being Prescription for a Happier, Healthier, and More Resilient Workforce, which was extremely well-received in the healthcare and wellness fields. Join us as we talk to Dr. Safeer about his impressive personal journey within the healthcare field, the most important (and often overlooked) factors for a successful culture, and how we can integrate our workplace into New Year's resolutions.  Richard discusses how his incredible book is meant to serve leaders in all fields, the need for organizations to employ “internal wellness champions,” how time in nature impacts his personal and professional roles,  and how “well-being is a team sport.”We left this conversation ready to face a new year, happier, healthier, and spending more time outside.  Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast.  We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOWDr. Safeer's Website: https://richardsafeer.com/Connect with Dr. Safeer on LinkedInLearn how to create a well-being culture on your team: CreatingAWellbeingCulture.comPick up a copy of 'A Cure for the Common Company: https://amzn.to/3bG1q1D  Dr. Safeer's Book and Discussion Guide: https://richardsafeer.com/bookshelf/Ten Minute Well-Being Tips for Managers on Boundaries is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNQYej4C31A* The Nature of Wellness Podcast is produced by the remarkable Shawn Bell.** The NOW theme song was written, performed, produced, and graciously provided by the incredibly talented Phil and Niall Monahan. 

     A new era in value-based care is emerging where employers are no longer sleeping giants willing to tolerate a broken fee-for-service healthcare system. ‘Poor health' costs employers $575B in lost productivity on top of the $880B they already spend in premium dollars annually. Employers (and their employees) continued to get fleeced by unsustainable double-digit premium increases every year, with hospitals using that excess spend in commercial insurance to their subsidize losses on the public pay side. The paradigm shift to value-based purchasing is underway in employer-based health insurance; however, it will not achieve the aims of population health unless a similar transformation occurs in workforce wellbeing.      Joining us this week in the Race to Value is Dr. Richard Safeer, the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-being at Johns Hopkins Medicine, where he leads the Healthy at Hopkins employee health and well-being strategy.  Dr. Safeer is a highly influential thought leader on building a culture of health and is the author of the groundbreaking new book, “A Cure for the Common Company: A Well-Being Prescription for a Hopper, Healthier, and More Resilient Workforce.” In this interview you will hear from one of the leading experts on employee health in our country about what it takes to cultivate a healthy workforce. Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Richard Safeer, M.D. and “A Cure for the Common Company” 04:45 Developing a holistic view where we look at individuals as both patients and employees. 05:15 “Until we integrate a strategy that includes the workplace, we are not likely to optimize population health." 06:00 The economic and cultural imperatives for workforce well-being. 06:30 A key factor in achieving health goals is the support of people you are closest to at home and at work. 07:45 Connecting the spectrum of employee health from well-being to chronic disease. 08:30 Why have attempts at corporate wellness failed so often in the past? 09:30 “Our health and well-being are greatly influenced by the relationships we have in the workplace.” 10:00 Most employers do not fully leverage the social sciences to optimize the support of their workforce. 10:45 Innovative self-funded health insurance as a requisite component of a corporate wellness strategy. 12:30 How a company benefits from a healthy workforce. 13:45 Innovations to create access to high quality primary care and lifestyle medicine (e.g. Direct Primary Care and onsite clinics). 17:00 Employers must fully leverage all resources (e.g. data from health insurers, EAPs, collaboration with local health systems). 18:30 The 6 Building Blocks of a Wellbeing Culture. 20:45 Making it easier for employees to make healthy choices. 21:30 The influence of social climate in the workplace. 22:30 The plight of healthcare workforce burnout and moral injury. 23:45 We need supportive work environments to produce good health (not paternalism). 25:00 “Employers who demonstrate genuine care and back it up with genuine resources to support health and well-being will be the ones to attract and retain talent.” 25:30 Resiliency does not rest solely on the individual! 26:00 Employees cannot maintain mental health if their work doesn't align with education and skill set. 27:00 Social connections to team and trust in management improves resiliency. 29:00 70-80% of employees are willing to take a pay cut to get a job that better supports their mental health (see UKG study) 30:00 Balancing the need for social connection with remote work. 31:30 Referencing the new book, “Culture Shock: An Unstoppable Force is Changing How We Work and Live.” 32:00 One-size fits all decisions about onsite work doesn't make sense for all employees. 33:30 Cisco Systems as an exemplar of a workplace culture for health and well-being. 36:00 The role of technology in health is superseded in importance by the workplace, home, and community settings.

Lots of programs and benefits most often don't lead to a more well employee.

Research indicates less than 3% of Americans are sufficiently active, eat a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight and abstain from smoking. A key factor in the ability to achieve one's health goals is whether those goals are supported by the people they're closest to—at home and at work. Generally, organizational employee wellness programs are only partially successful because they expect the individual to bear the full responsibility of changing their behavior rather than in conjunction with a supportive environment. For the past 20 years, workplace health pioneer and thought leader Richard Safeer, M.D. has assessed cultures, trained leaders, and conducted research on the intersection of individual and organizational behavior. He currently serves as the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being for Johns Hopkins Medicine. He is a regular conference speaker on building a culture of health and well-being and has published numerous journal articles on the topic.  His full bio is below. In his upcoming, groundbreaking book available on January 19, 2023, titled, A Cure for the Common Company: A Well-Being Prescription for a Happier, Healthier, and More Resilient Workforce (Wiley),Dr. Safeer becomes the first author to provide a step-by-step roadmap for creating a well-being culture that integrates science with practical solutions as demonstrated by the numerous real stories from successful companies.Dr. Richard Safeer BioFor the past 20 years, workplace health pioneer and thought leader Richard Safeer, M.D. has assessed cultures, trained leaders, and conducted and explored research on the intersection of individual and organizational behavior. Dr. Safeer currently serves as the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being for Johns Hopkins Medicine where he leads the Healthy at Hopkins employee health and well-being strategy.
