Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerges as a beacon of hope for practitioners seeking effective alternatives to conventional care. This modality offers innovative solutions for chronic issues, often unresponsive to traditional treatments, and underpins a concerted approach to harnessing the principles of orthobiologics and metabolic pathways. **Orthobiologics and FSM: Enhancing Recovery Outcomes** Orthobiologics has been a game-changer in regenerative medicine, particularly for procedures like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. FSM complements these procedures by offering a tailored approach to pain management and tissue healing. It's crucial to understand that the biologic process involved in healing can be supported by FSM without hindering inflammation, which is a vital part of recovery. Therefore, the application of FSM is strategically customized based on the stage of healing and the patient's specific needs. **Adapting FSM Protocols to Individual Patient Needs** It's important to emphasize that FSM protocols are not one-size-fits-all. Practitioners must assess the stage of healing and tailor FSM settings accordingly. In the context of post-PRP procedures, considerations such as the level of pain and stage of recovery influence protocol selections. Moreover, the intricate mechanisms of action in FSM require practitioners to eliminate certain frequencies, such as those that might suppress necessary inflammatory responses during healing phases. **Engaging with Patient Histories for Enhanced Therapeutic Outcomes** FSM practice thrives on the understanding that patient histories are critical to therapeutic success. Each patient's narrative provides insight into their unique experiences and expectations regarding pain management and recovery. A profound exploration of patient histories allows practitioners to piece together a comprehensive understanding, which is instrumental in tailoring FSM treatments effectively. **Integrating Emotional and Psychosocial Dimensions in Patient Care** The emotional and psychological dimensions of pain are powerful determinants of patient outcomes. Engaging with these aspects can unearth underlying issues contributing to chronic pain. Encouraging patients to envision their lives post-recovery invites a positive mindset and diminishes the psychological fatigue associated with prolonged pain management. Practitioners are urged to facilitate discussions about the patient's life without pain, fostering an environment of hope and possibility. **Educating Patients as Vital Partners in Their Treatment Journey** Ultimately, FSM practitioners should view themselves as educators and facilitators in the healing journey. Effective communication regarding prognosis, realistic outcomes, and the importance of adherence to FSM protocols can empower patients. Providing comprehensive education about their condition and treatment plan helps patients internalize the importance of active participation and compliance, ultimately optimizing their health outcomes.

In this episode, Jeff Greenwald—world champion tennis player, licensed therapist, and sports psychology consultant—offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of clinical therapy and high-performance coaching. Jeff highlights how anxiety has become the predominant struggle both inside and outside of sport, often crippling athletes and families alike. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience, he explains how his dual training allows him to work not only on performance enhancement but also on the deeper roots of anxiety, perfectionism, and family dynamics that shape an athlete's experience. He shares how he integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic Psychotherapy, tailoring each to the unique needs of athletes. Jeff clarifies how sports psychology typically focuses on attention control, motivation, and performance skills, while clinical practice digs into family systems, emotional regulation, and underlying anxiety. Listeners will also hear about Jeff's practical frameworks, including the four dimensions of focus (narrow/broad, internal/external) and his “remote control” metaphor from The Mental Edge for Young Athletes. These models help young athletes understand they have multiple tools at their disposal—but it's their responsibility to choose and apply them in the heat of competition. A major theme of the conversation is Jeff's emphasis on the “permission to miss.” With statistics showing that 70% of kids quit sports by age 16, Jeff underscores the importance of helping athletes reframe mistakes, embrace imperfection, and cultivate a mastery mindset focused on growth and process rather than outcome. Over time, athletes learn to anchor their confidence in the skills they can control—their routines, effort, and perspective—rather than in outcomes they can't. This framework not only reduces anxiety but also fosters resilience, freedom, and joy in sport. He also shares how parents can best support their children—not by rushing in to fix, but by validating their experiences and normalizing their anxiety. As a competitive athlete himself, and still competing internationally, Jeff has demonstrated how you can transform from a tentative, perfectionistic mindset to a full realization of your ability through the mastery mindset, which also catapulted him to world No. 1 in his age group. He shares how this breakthrough was instrumental to his work and how grateful he is to be in a position to help the thousands of athletes he has worked with over the past 27 years. Jeff Greenwald, MFT, is a world champion athlete, licensed psychotherapist, best-selling author, and one of the world's leading mental coaches for athletes. With over 25 years of experience helping youth, college, and professional competitors thrive under pressure, Jeff brings a rare blend of elite performance insight and clinical expertise to his work. He is the author of the international bestseller The Best Tennis of Your Life, which has sold over 80,000 copies worldwide, and the new book The Mental Edge for Young Athletes—a groundbreaking guide for building confidence, emotional resilience, and a stronger mindset in sports and life. Jeff has worked with athletes across every major sport and consulted for national teams, Fortune 500 leaders, top junior academies, and competitive athletes at all levels of sport. He is a two-time ITF World Champion and was inducted into the Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame in 2019 for his contribution in the field of sports psychology and success as a world-ranked tennis player. Through his writing, coaching, and speaking, Jeff empowers athletes and their families to navigate the mental game with clarity, courage, and lasting confidence.

In this episode, we explore the evolving role of surrogate endpoints in the management of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), with a particular focus on the significance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Of the completed Phase 3 trials in IgAN, one used time-weighted average eGFR, an area under the curve-based measure that reflects the average change in eGFR from baseline over a specified period, in this case, over the full 2-year study period. The other trial used total eGFR slope to describe the overall rate of change over 2 years. But what do these endpoints mean outside the setting of a clinical trial? Expert insights shed light on how proteinuria and eGFR trends can inform prognosis and guide treatment decisions in clinical practice over the long term. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how to interpret eGFR changes over time and apply this knowledge to optimize patient care. Designed for nephrology professionals, this episode offers practical, evidence-based perspectives on integrating these surrogate endpoints into the care of patients with IgAN.
