What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning. Here's what you'll hear: Why a healthcare company runs 12-month, Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships — including programs in management, value-based care, population health, and hospice aide preparation How gamification is being built into nurse instruction (straight from Aubrey's dissertation research) The difference between Your Health University (your classroom) and the Hub (your resource library) How LinkedIn Learning delivered roughly $4.2 million in CEUs to staff last year Meeting Leah — the new AI assistant that helps employees find exactly the right course If you've ever believed growing your people is a cost rather than the whole point, this conversation will change how you think.

In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, we're presenting a special panel discussion from our recent Clinical Success Showcase event in January. Host Kristin Whitaker is joined by a powerhouse panel of master practitioners as they break down what histamine intolerance really means, why symptoms like skin issues, gut problems, brain fog, and anxiety are showing up more frequently in practice, and how the world around us might be fueling this trend. You'll learn the spectrum of histamine-related disorders, the known drivers behind these conditions—from chronic infections and toxic exposures to hormonal swings and even trauma—and, most importantly, practical, foundational strategies to help calm symptoms, restore balance, and support your clients or yourself. In this interview, we discuss:   The critical role mast cells and histamine play in immune function, inflammation, and symptom development. How to recognize the often-overlooked symptom patterns associated with histamine intolerance and mast cell activation. Why these conditions are becoming increasingly common and the environmental and lifestyle factors that may be contributing. The powerful relationship between histamine, estrogen, and hormone-related symptom flares throughout a woman's cycle. The most common root causes driving histamine-related symptoms Practical tools for calming the histamine response, supporting recovery, and helping clients expand their diets with confidence.

In people with severe depression and cognitive decline, brain glucose metabolism has been shown in some studies to decline measurably. Ketone metabolism, by contrast, appears relatively preserved. That single observation is reshaping how researchers think about psychiatric illness.In this episode, Dominic D'Agostino sits down with Bret Scher, a cardiologist who pivoted to metabolic psychiatry and now leads clinical education and content for Metabolic Mind at the Baszucki Group. Dr. Scher brings a rare dual perspective: deep training in conventional cardiology paired with three years embedded in the research and clinical practice exploring metabolic approaches in psychiatry.The conversation covers brain energy dysfunction as a potential unifying mechanism across psychiatric disorders, the preserved ketone metabolism documented in work by researchers like Stephen Cunnane, the recently published Delphi consensus paper on metabolic psychiatry, why four-week randomized trials may be inadequate for nutritional interventions, and the case for future diagnostic categories like metabolic depression and metabolic bipolar disorder.Questions Answered in This Episode:Are we underestimating brain energy dysfunction as a potential unifying mechanism across psychiatric disorders?What are the two biggest clinical mistakes patients make when starting ketogenic therapy for mental illness?Should ketogenic therapy ever be positioned as a first-line intervention for psychiatric disorders?What is the single biggest bottleneck preventing wider clinical adoption of ketogenic therapy?What has been the most unexpected challenge in moving metabolic psychiatry into the mainstream?What does precision, personalized, prescriptive ketone metabolic therapy actually look like in clinical practice?This conversation reframes psychiatric illness as a question of brain energy alongside neurotransmitter signaling and other biological mechanisms, with implications for how the next decade of research and clinical training will unfold.Join the Live Q&A with Dr. Bret Scher.

The BioprogressiveTheory Revisited  | Orthodontics In Interview |  Sergio Sambataro "Whenyou say Class II, to me, you say nothing. We must look for the etiology of themalocclusion — not just the teeth, but the function behind them." "Ifyou extrude the upper molar, the condyle goes downward, and you have morevertical growth of the ramus. Ricketts showed this very clearly back in the 60sand we have published the same result at the University of Milan." "Oneof the principles in Class II correction is: first open the bite, and thencorrect the overjet. This is not just mechanics — it is logic." "Satoonce said — if you ask why he doesn't use retainers, he answers with anotherquestion: why do you use retainers? Because you know your job is notstable."  I'm joined by Dr. Sergio Sambotaro from Sicily, for adeep dive into Bioprogressive Orthodontics, principles established by Rickettsand still debated today. We explore the cause of a malocclusion from abioprogressive perspective, the focus on vertical facial types determiningtreatment mechanics and anchorage.

What happens when we stop treating therapy as a search for a hidden "inner life" and instead use it to explore our shared, lived world?Seattle University Senior Adjunct Professor of Philosophy and Psychology and Licensed Therapist Dr. Jerome Veith joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the intersection of hermeneutics and clinical practice.Dr. Veith explores the themes of his book Gadamer and the Transmission of History and his personal journey from academic theory to doing philosophy every day with his clients. They examine how philosophical concepts like historicity and charitability can transform the way we listen, heal, and understand our place in the world.In this conversation they explore:The profound difference between academic listening and therapeutic listening, and why "charitability" must balance the "hermeneutics of suspicion". How our relationship to the past is malleable, and why viewing our "historicity" as a lived texture can relieve the burden of anxiety. The flaws of the modern hunt for an isolated "authentic self" and why true authenticity requires acknowledging our shared linguistic and cultural worlds. Why rigid therapeutic methods often fall short, and the value of "courting surprise" rather than relying strictly on predefined techniques. The concept of Bildung (formation) and how engaging with history helps us realize we don't have to carry the burden of being human entirely by ourselves.How reclaiming our focus and viewing therapy as an "attentional practice" can serve as a profound gift that changes both ourselves and others.This is a conversation for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, and the healing arts who wants to understand how deep listening and shared attention can transform our lives.Make sure to check out Dr. Veith's book: Gadamer and the Transmission of History

Today, we're diving into a topic that should be getting far more attention: Cardiovascular disease in women. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in women—yet it's often under-addressed, oversimplified, and misunderstood in clinical practice. Most women are told: “Eat better. Take this prescription.” But that approach misses something critical. Full citation list:    •    Hall, Kevin D., et al. “Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake and Weight Gain: An Inpatient Randomized Controlled Trial of Ad Libitum Food Intake.” Cell Metabolism, vol. 30, no. 1, 2019, pp. 67–77.e3. Supports the core causal point that ultra-processed foods drive higher intake and weight gain even under controlled feeding conditions; this is not a women-specific lipid paper, but it is the cleanest experimental anchor for why UPFs create a high-throughput metabolic environment.     •    El Khoudary, Samar R., et al. “Menopause Transition and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Implications for Timing of Early Prevention: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.” Circulation, vol. 142, no. 25, 2020, pp. e506–e532. Supports the midlife women's frame: across the menopause transition, LDL-C and ApoB rise, metabolic risk shifts, and cardiovascular prevention needs to become more deliberate during this window. This supports the “why I care about lipids in endocrine care” part of the episode.     •    Derby, Carol A., et al. “Lipid Changes During the Menopause Transition in Relation to Age and Weight: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation.” American Journal of Epidemiology, vol. 169, no. 11, 2009, pp. 1352–61. Foundational SWAN paper establishing that the menopause transition itself — not just chronological aging — is associated with adverse lipid shifts in midlife women. This is the original observation that the timing argument rests on.     •    Wu, Bingjie, et al. “Trajectories of Blood Lipids Profile in Midlife Women: Does Menopause Matter?” Journal of the American Heart Association, vol. 12, no. 22, 2023, e030388. Supports the claim that LDL-C, total cholesterol, and ApoB follow distinct trajectory patterns through the menopause transition, with subgroups of women showing rising lipids in the years before the final menstrual period — useful for the timing argument that body and symptom changes can precede the obvious lab story.     •    Matthews, Karen A., et al. “Age at Menopause in Relationship to Lipid Changes and Subclinical Carotid Disease Across 20 Years: Study of Women's Health Across the Nation.” Journal of the American Heart Association, vol. 10, no. 18, 2021, e021362. Supports the point that ApoB and Apo A1 changes cluster around the final menstrual period and that adverse lipid shifts in the early postmenopausal years track with subclinical carotid disease later — connects menopausal timing to the longer cardiovascular arc rather than a one-time lab blip.     •    De Oliveira-Gomes, Diana, et al. “Apolipoprotein B: Bridging the Gap Between Evidence and Clinical Practice.” Circulation, vol. 150, no. 1, 2024, pp. 62–79. Supports the practical ApoB explanation: ApoB reflects atherogenic particle burden and outperforms LDL-C for ASCVD risk prediction in many settings, but adoption lags because clear apoB targets and triggers are still lacking in mainstream guidelines. Good support for the public-service “what the hell is ApoB anyway?” section.     •    Williamson, Laura. “The Slowly Evolving Truth About Heart Disease and Women.” American Heart Association News, 9 Feb. 2024, heart.org/en/news/2024/02/09/the-slowly-evolving-truth-about-heart-disease-and-women. Supports the broader clinical framing that women remain underrecognized or undertreated in cardiovascular care and that women's heart disease still needs better public and clinical communication. This is more public-facing than mechanistic, but useful for your opening frame. Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.

From Barbara Robertson and Nancy Mohrbacher: Using new research in clinical practice? How do we do this? When is it time to let go of our old ways of doing things and incorporate new information? These are some of the questions Nancy and Barbara discuss in this episode of All Things Breastfeeding. Sometimes, incorporating new research in clinical practice is easy. It can be an “ah-ha” moment. Nancy had this when she learned about Suzanne Colson’s research on releasing babies’ reflexes to stimulate breastfeeding. She knew Suzanne’s description was true and immediately began incorporating Suzanne’s ideas into her practice. Barbara had this type of moment when she read Nancy’s article, “The Magic Number.” On the other hand, we can also suffer from confirmation bias. We may want to believe that we can use human milk for longer than the current recommendations (see article below), so we are happy when a study suggests this might be true. On the other hand, it can take 17 years or longer for research to become clinical practice. When should we wait? When is it time to change? Some clear guidance both Nancy and Barbara use is: “Will it be harmful?” It does not harm anyone to start playing around with latch and positioning, or adding extra milk removals, for someone struggling with milk supply. Take a listen to learn more about Nancy’s and Barbara’s thoughts on this subject. Enjoy! Resources: Colson SD, Meek JH, Hawdon JM.

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we share concrete steps to take if you've discovered staff members using non-approved AI platforms in your practice. We discuss: The misconceptions around what constitutes PHI (and why information used to write a progress note absolutely is PHI) Why this is a reportable HIPAA breach Why reporting a HIPAA breach is nowhere near as scary or impactful as you may fear  The difference between a large breach and a small breach, and reporting deadlines for each Client notification deadlines for breaches How state law can impact or add to reporting deadlines Steps to take after discovering non-compliant AI use in your practice What to investigate, how to document, how to mitigate, how to notify clients, and when to consult an attorney Listen here: https://personcenteredtech.com/group/podcast/ For more, visit our website. PCT Resources: PCT CE Course (on-demand): If you're navigating exactly what we're talking about in this episode, our on-demand CE training, HIPAA Security Incidents & Breaches: Investigation, Documentation, and Reporting, provides a clear, structured walkthrough of what to do when something goes wrong. It covers how to determine whether an incident is a breach, how to investigate and document appropriately, and how to handle client notification and reporting requirements—along with strategies to reduce risk going forward. This is a practical, real-world roadmap designed specifically for mental health practices, so you're not left guessing about next steps when a breach situation arises. Breach Report Questions: If you want to understand what breach reporting actually looks like in practice, this resource walks you through the exact information required when submitting a report to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). It outlines the specific details you'll need to gather — such as the type and scope of the breach, the number of individuals affected, what kind of PHI was involved, and what actions you've taken in response — so you can approach reporting with clarity and confidence rather than guesswork. Reviewing these questions ahead of time can also help guide your investigation and documentation process, ensuring you're collecting the right information from the start.

The Truth About HIPAA, AI, and Client Data In this article, Person Centered Tech breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in HIPAA compliance: de-identification. It clarifies the difference between simply "removing identifiers" and meeting HIPAA's strict legal standards for de-identification (Safe Harbor or Expert Determination). The piece explains why narrative clinical information is often inherently identifying, why a session transcript cannot realistically be considered de-identified, and how AI systems introduce heightened risks of re-identification. It reinforces a critical takeaway for practice leaders: HIPAA sets the floor — not the ceiling — for protecting client information, and governance must keep pace with emerging technologies. PCT CE Course: Law & Ethics of the Clinical Use of Artificial Intelligence: Implications in Clinical Practice If you're wanting a deeper, structured framework for evaluating AI in clinical practice, this 3-credit legal-ethical on-demand training with Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC, walks through the evolving legal standards, HIPAA considerations, and ethics code guidance that apply to AI use in behavioral health. You'll gain practical strategies for assessing new technologies, understanding emerging standards of care, and implementing AI tools in a way that is legally defensible and ethically sound.

This is especially relevant in the context of this episode because HIPAA is only part of the picture—state laws often impose additional requirements, including shorter notification timeframes and broader definitions of protected information. Reviewing the Mintz Matrix can help you understand your specific state obligations and ensure that your response to a breach is not only HIPAA-compliant, but also aligned with applicable state laws. The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Breach Portal provides essential guidance on what constitutes a reportable breach and what happens after a report is submitted. It explains that a breach involves the unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of protected health information that compromises its security or privacy, and outlines how OCR reviews, investigates, and resolves reported incidents. This is particularly relevant to this episode because it helps demystify what occurs after you file a breach report—reinforcing that reporting does not automatically trigger penalties, but instead initiates a review process that may include technical assistance, investigation, or closure without further action. Understanding this process can reduce fear and support more confident, compliant decision-making when responding to a breach.

The first day of clinical practice can be an anxiety-provoking experience for students. Nursing faculty can be proactive in reducing anxiety by engaging them in a role-play scenario about what to expect during clinical. Role-play is a proven teaching strategy that helps students learn in a safe environment under faculty guidance and with well-defined boundaries. Dr. Sonique Sailsman discusses this role play in the podcast and teaching tip.

This video explains what yoga therapy training actually looks like from the inside, including how students develop real clinical skill, what the supervised practicum involves, and why the structure of clinical training matters more than hours or curriculum lists alone.

In this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the complex interplay between trauma, visibility, and reintegration (healing). Our guest, Steve Sapourn, shares his deeply personal journey of working through the lasting effects of sexual abuse trauma. Steve speaks with striking honesty about the struggle to feel worthy, known, and fully seen while also carrying the impulse to remain hidden and unnoticed.We explore the concept of witnessing as a powerful tool for healing. Witnessing involves the paced, relational experience of staying with what once felt too overwhelming to hold, without rushing it or turning it into a character verdict. This approach can help restore sequencing, meaning, and contact, thereby softening self-attack, reducing performative coping, and making more room for intimacy, grief, worthiness, and repair.Steve shares his experiences with various therapeutic approaches, including traditional talk therapy and somatic practices. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's nervous system and how it can be conditioned by early trauma. Steve also discusses the need for clinicians to provide a clear framework for therapy, helping clients understand the goals and processes involved.Throughout the conversation, we touch on the challenges of couples therapy, the importance of building trust, and the role of self-compassion in the healing journey. Steve's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of being truly seen and held within relational spaces. Subscribe on Substack for additional clinical resources as we explore how witnessing can help reintegrate unresolved trauma, reduce shame, and foster a deeper sense of connection and belonging.Timestamps[00:01:46] Healing through witnessing trauma.[00:04:29] Witnessing as an alternative.[00:10:39] Trust building in therapy sessions.[00:12:44] Physiological responses in relationships.[00:16:58] Nervous system and therapy dynamics.[00:20:45] Performance in therapy sessions.[00:24:44] Predictive nature of the brain.[00:29:12] Childhood trauma and self-identity.[00:34:34] Vulnerability and personal growth.[00:37:55] Inner child healing through love.[00:42:47] Inner child's resilience and strength.[00:45:40] Growth through self-acceptance.[00:50:49] Self-acceptance and emotional support.[00:54:22] Parentification in childhood experiences.[01:02:49] Hero's journey and personal growth.[01:06:22] Worthiness of being helped.[01:11:08] The importance of witnessing.[01:12:34] New learning and the past.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Steve SapournExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, host Dr. Lexi Gonzales explores how AI is revolutionizing functional medicine workflows with guests Sunita Mohanty and Crystal Brust. Sunita Mohanty is the CEO and co-founder of Ultralight (formerly Vibrant Practice) and. Crystal Brust is a Stanford-trained functional medicine Physician Assistant and founder of Farm to Functional Medicine. The conversation highlights how the Vibrant Practice platform addresses clinician burnout by integrating AI directly into the electronic health record (EHR) to automate documentation and synthesize complex patient data—such as genetics and timelines—into actionable insights. The guests emphasize that this "full stack" approach not only saves time but transforms the medical record from a static repository into an interactive tool that restores joy, creativity, and confidence to the provider-patient relationship.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

In this episode, I'm joined by Kym Tolson, LCSW for an eye-opening conversation about what AI really means for the future of mental health practice. Together, we unpack some of the biggest myths and misconceptions therapists have about AI, including concerns about privacy, ethics, environmental impact, burnout, and whether technology could ever replace the therapeutic relationship. Kym shares practical ways therapists can begin using AI right now to reduce documentation burden, streamline practice operations, support marketing efforts, and create more sustainable workflows, all while staying clinically grounded and ethically informed. We also talk about why the future of therapy may require clinicians to lean even more into relational skills, clinical judgment, and authentic human connection. Plus, we highlight the free 1.25 NBCC-approved CE training available through Berries Academy, where I'm serving as the course administrator and Kym is the presenter. If AI has felt overwhelming, confusing, or even a little scary, this episode will help you feel informed, empowered, and ready to take the first step.
