Welcome to the 165th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Andi-Jean Miro (@aestheticsbyandi).  We return to celebrity dentist Dr. Andi this week to discuss some controversial practices in cosmetic dentistry. Is the rising popularity of over-the-counter dental procedures good or bad? What's the real cost of patients getting their teeth done overseas, attracted by the lower sticker price? How do we manage unrealistic expectations of patients coming from social media platforms where people have “perfect” teeth? Dr. Andi has seen it all, and wants anyone considering cosmetic dentistry to know what's possible and what's too good to be true. You won't want to miss this opportunity to educate yourself and pass on Andi's wisdom to your patients. Dr. Andi graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 2014 with a focus on Aesthetic Dentistry, followed by a highly regarded Clinical Residency in Brooklyn. For eight years, she refined her skills at working alongside Dr. Mike Apa at Apa Aesthetic in Manhattan on the Upper East Side. Dr. Andi discovered her passion for both practicing and teaching dentistry during this time.  In 2019, during the pandemic, Dr. Andi founded STRIBE, an innovative dental education platform created by dentists for dentists, aiming to make top-quality dental education more accessible worldwide. Dr. Andi has a strong commitment to teaching and frequently travels to lecture on cosmetic dentistry. She also holds several academic roles: Assistant Clinical Professor at NYU's Aesthetic Dentistry Department, Clinical Professor at Nova Southeastern University, Residency Masterclass Instructor at STRIBE, Co-Founder and Clinical Instructor for the Art of Ceramic Hands-on Masterclass, and Clinical Instructor and Lecturer for the Rosenthal Institute's Hands-on Aesthetic Advantage program in New York. In 2023, Dr. Andi was invited to join and help lead the team at Apa Aesthetic's LA location. She brings a deep passion for all aspects of dentistry, which is evident in the incredible patient transformations she helps create every day.

Renee Jones:You know that moment when you're not even hungry, but still, there you stand in front of the refrigerator looking for — something.  Maybe it's something you can't even name, but food has always been there for you.I spent 40 years on that Diet Yo-Yo, and in 2012, I finally smashed it by overcoming emotional eating, and I've maintained my healthy weight since then.  When you aren't eating to soothe yourself, you save a whole bunch of calories.My mission is to help others who struggle with their weight, who look to food for stress relief and to soothe themselves.  No diet, exercise routine, or magic diet potion can counter the effects when we've stuffed down our feelings and followed it with a food chaser.  We have to heal our hearts.  When we face our stuff, we no longer need to stuff our faces. With a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency, I utilize traditional and contemporary models as well as relaxation and horse-assisted methods to help my clients free themselves by addressing emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.  In 2011, I opened an international private practice in counseling serving clients and colleagues in the U. S., United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, India, Vietnam, South Africa, Romania, Australia, and New Zealand.When you're ready to lose, I can help you win.Call 817-938-6250, email me at renee@packyourownbag.com, or click the button below to connect with me.Support the show

It's not always food. It's just easy. It's available. It's legal." "When you face your stuff, you no longer have to stuff your face for comfort or stress relief." "I can put whatever I want in my mouth, I get to control that. So we work on, ‘okay, is this the outcome you want?" "One of my favourite questions that helps me as well as them is: is that who you want to be?" "My goal is always to help them heal their heart, so they can do it on their own." "When I was about 10 years old, I looked around at all the other little girls, and I was a redhead. So I was already different to everyone else. And I was also chunky. And all the other blonde and brunette girls were thin. And I thought I don't want to be chunky." "I did that for 40 stinking years" "I ran across some really good advice, which was: only eat when you're hungry. I thought if I could do that, I wouldn't have a problem." "I think that we have a global pandemic beyond COVID, and that is low self-esteem." "It's a culturally approved sin [eating]." "This is what my grandmother told me back in the 70s, to just watch your sugars and starches and you'll be fine." "I haven't been depressed and I have a brighter outlook. This is weird. I don't understand it. But I've basically stayed keto since then. I'll have an occasional time when I have a few more carbs here and there. But I always come back to keto because it makes me feel so good." "Anytime we get an opportunity to look at it differently, we have an opportunity to grow." "Emotional baggage is a thing. If you don't want it to control you, you've got to deal with it." "We collect all of this baggage. And the more we nurse that baggage, the more we tell those stories, the more they stay in our lives. And what's important is to unpack the stuff that we've carried with us for decades." "Find the things that drive you to stress - stop and listen to the stories"

Some people can hold themselves accountable, but some can’t. Why can we not pay as much attention to losing weight as we do in other important areas in our life? How can we go further and faster without just not ourselves doing that? Renee Jones spent 40 years on that Diet Yo-Yo, and in 2012, she finally smashed it by overcoming emotional eating and has maintained her healthy weight since then.   Her mission is to help others who struggle with their weight, who look to food for stress relief and to soothe themselves. No diet, exercise routine, or magic diet potion can counter the effects when we’ve stuffed down our feelings and followed it with a food chaser. We have to heal our hearts. When we face our stuff, we no longer need to stuff our faces. With a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency, she utilizes traditional and contemporary models as well as relaxation and horse-assisted methods to help her clients free themselves by addressing emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. In 2011, she opened an international private practice in counseling, serving clients and colleagues in the U. S., United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, India, Vietnam, South Africa, Romania, Australia, and New Zealand. In this episode, Renee shares how she had all this emotional baggage she carried with her, having this belief, and this feeling of not being acceptable, being too much, or not good enough. How she has not believed in herself for so long, thinking she’s never attractive and skinny enough to attract anyone, was such an eye-opener for her the moment she knew she needed to change. Find out how travel and life experiences help you to look beyond yourself and your focus on food.  She actually found an acronym for questions she needed to ask herself to get past her food dilemma, and this has worked for her. Find out about it; it might help you, too. When you feel like your cravings win over you, she has the best solution to that without depriving yourself but still having an awareness of trusting your food decision. Often, we look for solutions that give us fast results, but when it comes to emotional mastery why should we give it more time and practice it needs just like other areas of our life? The memory we attach to food gives an insight into our focus on it. Learn what it is, recognize it, understand it and deal with it. There has to be healing in every transformation before the total turnaround, and it’s important to allow yourself to go through it to move ahead. There is no one-solution-fits-all; that’s why you need to find out what works for you. Staying on your track to reach your goal is not easy; that’s why Renee suggests that if you can’t hold yourself accountable, find someone else to do that for you. Hence, finding a community that understands your journey and has your back every step of the way is a big help. “I had to face my stuff. So I would no longer need to stuff my face for comfort.”  - Renee Jones What you will learn from this episode: 02:53 - The emotional baggage she had to deal with growing up 04:45 - If she had believed more in herself 06:06 - What helped her get out of the wrong mentality about herself 12:25 - The crucial questions you need to ask yourself to overcome your obsession over food 14:14 - Why go get it 14:58 - What she says to clients who are having cravings 19:46 - Give yourself some grace to learn 23:37 - Why don’t we give emotional mastery the same time and practice as we do other things in life? 26:48 - The need to find what works for your body 33:30 - What memory do you attach your food with 35:10 - Recognizing helps and give it the attention it needs 37:53 - Wounds have to heal before you are ready to move forward 39:51 - Figure out your goal and stay on your path towards it - Click here for your Compass Exercise: http://packyourownbag.com/friends/ Connect with Renee Jones: packyourownbag.com Connect With Leslie Thornton: WeighLossAlbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn

Dr. Becca Tagg from Del Mar Behavioral Health joins me to discuss the unique approach her agency uses to train early-career BCBAs. This conversation was inspired by the interview I conducted with Dr. Mary Jane Weiss last year, in which we talked about how cool it would be if the field had an ABA equivalent of a medical residency model, so that BCBAs can learn about practicing with a variety of populations. As you'll hear in the interview, Becca heard this and reached out to say that this is exactly what they do, and we spend the majority of the conversation discussing just how they implement this unique training strategy. Before we get to the residency topic, we spent a little bit of time catching up since our last chat, and especially focus on how Del Mar's services adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, I should also note that we recorded this conversation in December, and as such, some of the references may seem a bit anachronistic, but many of these challenges are still with us in the Spring of 2021, so I chose to keep that part of the conversation in this episode. If you like these types of topics, I suggest that you join the ABA Business Builders Facebook Group if you haven't already done so. While you're there, say hello to Becca!

Welcome back to another episode on healthy, wealthy and smart. I am here with Adrian Miranda who is a physical therapist who you have probably seen on social media quite a bit. Adrian, would you first tell everyone exactly what your job is that we are going to be discussing and in which section of the APTA? Adrian Miranda (00:21): So my name is Adrian Miranda. I am the chair of the public relations committee for the Academy of orthopedic physical therapy. Jenna Kantor (00:30): Yes, that's right. A mouthful in which I could not get off. So I had Adrian saved for me. Well Adrian, first of all, thank you so much for popping on today for a nice little interview. So I want to first just dive in because I don't know anything about the orthopedic section in the sense of what is it is that you guys are doing for me as a new grad, I'm always thinking the JOSPT, that is a great resource and that is it. So we're going to be diving into more of what the orthopedic section is doing at this point so we can all learn and better appreciate it. And also for those who are considering joining the section, you'll go, Oh, this is for me. Or actually it's not for me. I'm just gonna be sitting with other sections instead. So first of all, what is the big focus for the orthopedic section? Adrian Miranda (01:23): Well, the orthopedic section does a lot of things. But let's talk about the focus on education. So as you said, the JOSPT that is actually a joint collaboration between the Academy of orthopedic physical therapy and Academy of sports physical therapy. One thing, so I became the chair, I guess I spent two years I believe now or going into my second year, but I was part of the community for about six months before that. And one thing I would challenge anyone or ask anybody to do is actually go to the website, orthopt.org. Look at all the tabs, scroll through it. And you can find so many things that when I became the actual a chair and I went, I'm just perusing and just looking at what the Academy does. Cause my goal was like I think the Academy does a ton of stuff that not many people know about. Adrian Miranda (02:12): You're going to learn so much about how much work and effort goes into and how many resources you can find for yourself or your colleagues educationally. There's a lot of independent study courses. The one that you may know if you've either going through residency finishing residency and taking your OCS, but it's the current concepts which is of, I say it's a staple. If you want to take the OCS, you should have the current concepts, you should be looking for the current concepts and reading through it. That's going to be a huge, huge resource and who get better to go to then the Academy itself. Besides that, cause there's so many courses, even things that I didn't know about. For example, there was actually a concussion independent study course. As you know, many of us, even myself in the clinic are starting to get more and more referrals for patients who have had a concussion diagnosis. So that's out there. There are other courses that are older. Some you get the current courses you get see you use for their courses that you don't get. For example, there is a triathlete course, there is a postoperative course, there is a work related injuries course, auto accident, all these are resources that anybody can use. And that's just kind of the tip of the iceberg as far as courses that you can purchase. And moving forward there are some free resources as well. Jenna Kantor (03:31): That's very helpful. So for somebody who doesn't have time, Oh, I feel like I'm speaking for everyone when I say that than going, Oh my God, I have to go and like playing the tabs. How much time is that? I have other things on my to do list. You just gave an overview of the education part, but what are some highlights on things that stood out to you personally within that that's being offered? Adrian Miranda (03:54): So none of us have time. You're right. And so I think one of the things that you're going to start to see is easier access to information. So for example, even if you look at any of our social media threads which if you’re looking at orthopedic within a you're gonna find, for example, we had a patellofemoral infographic. You're going to start to see some more smaller snippets because the Academy has realized that yes, people don't know how to digest the information and put into clinical practice right away. You have to really large clinical practice guideline is 70 pages or 50 pages. And then how to kind of digest that and to put it back out in the clinic. We’re trying to create easier versions of that, whether it's infographics. We are also partnering with podcasters like yourself to disseminate information from the authors themselves to give you the information so you can have passive listening. Adrian Miranda (04:46): In other words, you don't have to read, you can actually be driving to work going on the subway. You can be on your lunch break and listening to information from authors or researchers of these publications. So we're trying to make smaller tidbits to make it digestible in a form that's also accessible to most people. So we've been looking to long form writing. But right now it's infographics are trying to get onto podcast and educate more people, but we are looking into the fact that there is a time constraint in our physical therapy profession. Jenna Kantor (05:20): Yeah. That's excellent to learn. So for the orthopedic section, with the information that you have provided that they're already offering, which is incredible, who is your audience when you're creating the infographics or the infographics for us to better understand, are they infographics where we can reshare it to patients? Adrian Miranda (05:45): So good question. These are for us. So the push is actually for us clinicians to get a better grasp of this literature and a cliff notes initial format. However, if you look at JOSPT and I think moving forward, we're trying to also create a little bit of public awareness. So have you seen in JOSPT patient perspectives? That's one way that you can utilize and share it. And I actually remember when they first came out in my clinic, I printed them out in color, put it on the walls and the rooms and patients actually read it and ask questions about it. But as far as what you'll see further moving forward, like the infographics, it's going to be more for us, for the clinician so that we can actually suck in the information and be able to distribute it out to our patients in the easier manner. Jenna Kantor (06:27): Yeah, that's a big deal. As a clinician myself or I'm putting together a lot of dance research and creating it on this long form document with links to different research to have it disseminated will be great because the time is taking me to create that. It's a lot of time. It's a lot of time. And I know other clinicians don't have that, so I'm creating this for the dance community at large. So I think that's a really big deal that you guys are looking to make that information more available because there's always regular research and I just want to point this out because nobody can see it. Adrian Miranda (07:05): Anyways, I just wanted to put this out there before we continue. Another question. We are also looking for ideas. We want to engage with our members. So if you have any ideas about how to disseminate this information in a different way, we're talking about even long form writing. Some people love to read and that's totally fine. We're trying to look into different options. We're definitely looking for suggestions, people to collaborate with us people to a similar to what you are doing Jenna. To collaborate with us, give us new ideas. We're definitely looking for innovative ways even some old ways that we can bring back to help our clinicians better understand this information and be able to utilize it. Jenna Kantor (07:44): I love that. So this is a newer concept, but we have discussed about it. How is the orthopedic brainstorming, how to bring in other people who are providing information and education to help what we bring to patients. Adrian Miranda (07:58): I think it's people who are doing the work. Researchers, also clinicians, people who are in the clinic and researching, you know, we're in the clinic and researching. But the Academy definitely has some of the top researchers, people who have their pulse on newer topics. And one of the things that, that also stand in me was when the concussion dependence study came out. And I think that's to show that right now we're going to see an uptake in physicians referring concussion patients to our profession. And we have to be ready for that. Jenna Kantor (08:31): You are on the PR committee, so you know a little bit about the public and the relations. You're like Samantha from sex in the city, but not anyway, so I digress. What is it that you guys are doing and focusing on within the marketing committee alone and who is your audience for that? Adrian Miranda (08:50): We just want to show you stuff. We want to show you and teach you things. For example, if you look at our recent posts, we wanted to share what happened at CSM. We actually have the Rose award, which if you were in a, for example, a rural setting, if you're doing home health care, you can actually watch his full speech on his study. That had to do with how many visits was optimal for home health, physical therapists. So those are the things that we want to kind of bring you inside and say, Hey, look, this is what we're doing. We are finding committee members who are have skills in different aspects of the media. Which like I said, we're looking for people, we're always looking for people and new ideas. But when I came in, as I told you I wanted to share everything that the Academy was doing at one point I will look there's actually even some certification for imaging. Adrian Miranda (09:43): If you are interested in imaging or you think you want to dive into any type of imaging for your research, your PhD or even if you're a new graduate who says, Oh, I really want to learn more about imaging. There is a special interest group for imaging with resources and there's I believe there is either a discount or something and you can again, you can kind of scroll through the social media cause we did post it at one point. We just go through so much information that I can't tell you everything on the up the top of my head. But we're trying to share information that you would actually have to go and scroll and look for on the website. We're trying to make it more accessible. So there's just so many things that we want to it's like a media company really. Adrian Miranda (10:23): We're just trying to share what things we do and what opportunities. Oh, another example is the federal advocacy forum. So there is the money into the Academy will provide to a student to actually attend the federal advocacy forum. I believe the deadline has passed for that to apply for the scholarship or the grant. But those are things that we're trying to do. Before I was at CSM and the chair of the practice committee came up to me and said, Hey, is there any way that you can share this? And so those are things that we, even through email marketing, you may have seen it. There was also other programs like CoStar, which you'll have to kind of look it up or go online or go on the website or social media to find out about it. Adrian Miranda (11:07): It was about innovation and science. And it's not just for physical therapy. So there's a lot of opportunities, volunteer opportunities, ways to get involved, resources, educational materials. So the peer committees, just trying to say, Hey, you know, those of you on social media, there's all this stuff that you can do. Right now if you look online, soon enough there'll be like a residency Q and A. So there are many of you who are interested in going into residency or currently in residency and we're trying to reach out to that population as well. So there's a target population. It's really the Academy members. So we don't have new grads or old grads. There is a little bit more of a push to get attention from new graduates and students, but we want to be able to share as much information that will help our members. So we are a member facing organizations. Jenna Kantor (11:58): That's really great. That's actually fantastic. Okay. I'm going to ask a controversial question more because the concept and idea is definitely backwards was what we're pushing for in the physical therapy profession regarding research. We want to be research based, we want that these studies to back up everything we do. We're doctors for, you know, for sake. So what about physical therapists who are just going, I don't need the research in order to treat these patients and get them better. I'm not saying this to criticize them. I'm not saying this to separate us. For somebody who's not interested in all this data and everything, what do you guys have to provide for them that they would be specifically interested in where it is, where they treat primarily orthopedic cases. Karen Litzy (13:00): And on that note, we're going to take a quick break to hear from our sponsor and be right back with Adrian's response. This episode is brought to you by net health net house outpatient EMR and billing software. Redoc powered by X fit provides an all one software solution with guided documentation workflows to make it easy for therapists to use and streamline billing processes to help speed billing and improve reimbursement. You could check out net health’s new tip sheet to learn four ways that outpatient therapy providers can increase patient engagement in 2020 at go.net health.com/patientengagement2020 Adrian Miranda (13:34): Well, I mean, you can believe that, but it's the cases that you need research to show data, to show numbers, to go to Congress, to go to insurance, to push things and push agendas. Jenna Kantor (13:44): Oh, I like what you're saying regarding going to Congress advocating, thank you. Continue. Yeah. Adrian Miranda (13:48): So you need to prove that things work. Now there's many things that you cannot get data on or you just haven't created the right methodology for it. So you haven't created the right structure, the right research methods, the right way to capture those results. We're in a big data-driven time right now. So whether you believe that you don't need research and that it's there and we have to utilize it and it is actually necessary to help with reimbursements. So it might not hit you right in the face when the patient walks in, but it's going to hit you somewhere. So yes, research is extremely important. And it's not the end all be all as well. The way we get research is from an evidence case reports from the things that just occur. And then you go back and say, Hey, why did this work? Adrian Miranda (14:34): It didn't work. Or it did work and it worked because for all the wrong reasons. But if you don't have a scientific method for that, you're never going to know. Listen in the PR committee. So I'll tell you something. And many of you may be in the technology sector, marketing sector and digital marketing. We analyze what our members were engaging with and it turned out that CPGs our members were engaging with and we actually pivoted a bit more to give you more of that content. And we're seeing that you are engaging with it more. So if we didn't have that data, we wouldn't be able to give you what you want or even what you need. It is very important. You may not see it right away, but there are things that help agendas be moved forward and prove our worth. Adrian Miranda (15:20): As physical therapists, you can say it all you want, but if you have numbers, you really can't argue with numbers unless you're dealing with larger entities that have bigger pockets than you. But even at the end of the day, you fight hard enough for it. You're gonna get it. Direct access is moving along okay. And they're saying, we don't have any restricted direct access, but if we didn't have studies that are coming out saying that early intervention, but physical therapy reduces costs of healthcare achieves healthcare savings, we can't push that bill forward because we didn't have the data. Now we do have the data. So I would say that the sometimes or the reason for not agreeing with research has, you know, personal experiences and negative experiences. Maybe not even understanding research and what it does. Maybe you're wasting money on. These are one large universities doing all this data and research, but you need to think about it a little bit differently. Adrian Miranda (16:17): And the more research we have, the better research and better data. The more that you'll see we're helping more people in the community. The more that you're seeing businesses, physical therapy, business thriving, and being able to kind of give back to the community and give back to their employees as well. So it's this kind of circle. It's almost like a spin diagram that without research, without the community, without the clinicians to enforce it, we're not going to go anywhere. So I would say those people that don't believe in research it's like air. It's there. You need it. Love that. Jenna Kantor (16:50): Start to touch upon it. I want to dive into it. More advocacy. What is it that the orthopedic section, say three things right now that you know of, that they're advocating for on Capitol Hill? Adrian Miranda (17:03): Okay. So one of the things that did for the 40th anniversary was create almost like a mini documentary. Which was eyeopening to me. I didn't realize how much the Academy of orthopedic physical therapy advocated for States and governor and national issues. They actually were very instrumental in practice things all over the country and even helping with the right access bills right now at this moment. I couldn't tell you specific things. But if you go look at that video, which I think it was ast year, CSM I interviewed a lot, most if not most of the past orthopedic presidents who actually served on the APTA board. And yes, and some of them currently do it will be enlightening to see how much advocacy in the Academy actually provides. So having said that I couldn't tell you on top of my head exactly what they are working on at this moment legislatively, but just know that they are and they're also helping other components with their efforts and their resource. So if you, again, maybe you don't want to be in the public relations and marketing, but if you have some type of legislative issue or some type of issue that you have reached out to the Academy, they might be able to either guide you, steer you or help you connect with the APTA itself. Anybody in the government affairs, we actually have a committee directly for government affairs. Jenna Kantor (18:38): That's great. And you can even go on the website I'm seeing right now there is a tab for governance. It's literally on the major main page, so you go to governance and when you put your little mouse or a little hand on there, it'll go down and you can get information on what they're doing in their strategic plan. You click on that and it will take you into vision statement and goals so you can really see what they're doing right now for the lines with you and what you want them to be fighting for or if you want, there are points you want them to address in which you can then reach out to them to make that difference. Thank you so much, Adrian, for coming on to speak and educate about the orthopedic section. I really am a beginner with this myself because I've been a member for, since I was a first year student and never looked into any of the resources until this conversation right now. I think this is literally with the exception of joining the performing arts special interest group. The only time I've really gone into the the webpage. Oh look and we just opened it up. So current practice issues right now. Jenna Kantor (19:43): In what month, we are March, 2020 direct access imaging, dry needling, mobilization versus manipulation and practice issues state by state. And then you can get more details on that as well on orthopt.org. You just click on that governance and it'll get you there. Adrian Miranda (20:03): Is that answering the question about what issues are being dealt with by the Academy? Jenna Kantor (20:08): Yes, that does. That does. And the one who clicked and fell and grabbed that page. So we could just go onto practice, current practice issues and boom, bada bang. Thank you for coming on. Are there any last words you have for anybody who is considering joining the orthopedic section? But they're on the fence right now. Adrian Miranda (20:27): Join. There's really no drawbacks. If anything, here's what I recommend to anybody. If you have, there's two aspects. If you really want to get involved, there's someone who has been involved in school or someone who really wants to help other PTs. You wanna help the profession get involved. There's ways to get involved. You can be a member and do nothing and just hang back however you can make such an impact. I've had people recently asked to join or to be able to assist in the public relations committee. If you are somebody who has a lot of gripes and is really upset with what we're doing, go ahead and join anyway because you could actually be a change. I remember having this conversation with somebody in New York state. I was at a PT pub night and they were complaining to me about what this time I was actually in the NYPTA and what the APTA does. Adrian Miranda (21:11): And I let him go and just vent. And finally after like 20 minutes of venting, I was like, you know, I'm the chair of this committee, I'm a part of this committee. I'm on the MIP team that the board needs. I thank you for saying all that stuff. And his whole face going to drop. Like, Oh my gosh, I'm talking the wrong person. And I said, no, no, no. The fact that you're that passionate about it, you should join and you should make a change. All of a sudden, you told me you should bring it up at meetings or talk to your district. That's at the state level. At the Academy level. You can do this same thing if you're upset at the laws of dry needling and your state joint Academy, see how you can be part of the practice committee if you're upset about direct access, if you want to get involved in writing, if you want to get involved in editing you know, there's small, obviously there's very few worlds for that, but there are opportunities if you wanna get involved with pure committee, please join. Adrian Miranda (22:04): But there's so many things that you can help fix if you're upset about something and there's so many things that you can help improve if you're pleased with it. So I think there are so many opportunities to also enrich your life, enrich some of your skills and goals and even your practice. So I don't think there's any drawbacks to joining. And then we would love to have as many members as possible. You also want to have members that engage. I think when I talked to the board, we have meetings, our main goal and the people who've been around longer is that our members engaged with us. And you're not just someone who's going to sit back and just watch. Although that is okay, we want to be members. But I think it's also important to if you have a skill, if you have a passion and if you want to help our profession or your community get involved in and find where your spot is. Adrian Miranda (22:48): There's so many areas. There are seven special interest groups, there's several committees. There are several task force that you can be a part of. So I would definitely encourage you to reach out and listen. Organizations are challenging. There's a lot of people, there's a lot of need out there. There's a lot of different opinions and even it might say, this is an issue in my practice is an issue. My employees is my employers. That reimbursement is patients, this the demographics. There's a lot of things that we can help with numbers. Just like we're talking about research, we have a lot of numbers can be powerful. So if there's anything I can impart is that you can help be part of improving or be part of a change.   Jenna Kantor: I love that. Thank you so much. Adrian. How can people find you on social media and do you also have an email even for them to reach out to you? Adrian Miranda (23:36): Well, how about this? I'll do you one better because I learned it because usher and Gary Vaynerchuk are doing it now. I'll give you my cell phone. Feel free to reach out. I will give you my email just for sure. The social media Academy of orthopedic physical therapy. And my name is Adrian Miranda. You can find me at AMiranda84@Gmail.com. And my cell phone is 585- 472-5201. I'm very available. So I happy to talk on the phone cause sometimes, actually nowadays that's quicker than an email or even texting back and forth. Send me a text message. I would love to hear your input and hopefully we want to hear how we could be better as well.   Jenna Kantor: Wonderful. Thank you so much for coming on. Have a great day.

Do you struggle with emotional eating or eating when you aren't hungry? Renee struggled with emotional eating and yo-yo eating for 40 years before she discovered the key to her sustainable weight loss. This week's episode has lots of little pearls of wisdom that may benefit your eating habits.  With a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency in Pastoral Care, Renee utilizes traditional and contemporary models as well as relaxation and horse-assisted methods. She has worked as a chaplain and counselor in long-term acute care hospitals and hospice for more than a decade serving patients, families, and staff. In 2011, she opened an international private practice in counseling serving clients and colleagues in the U. S., United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, India, South Africa, Romania, Australia, and New Zealand. What makes her approach distinctive is that she is trained as a chaplain with a Master’s degree in counseling, and this expertise enables her to help her clients free themselves emotionally by addressing their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. The result is that her clients get the body they want, find true comfort without comfort food, and embrace the beautiful person they are from inside out.

After 40 years of yo-yo dieting, Renee Jones finally realized that losing weight and keeping it off had less to do with diet and everything to do with “emotional triggers.” With a Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency in Pastoral Care, Renée is reaching out to the masses with her recent book “What's Really Eating You: Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating”. Through entertaining stories and easy-to- understand principles, Renée helps readers conquer comfort eating while learning how to enjoy food again. Her website is www.packyourownbag.com.

In this episode Renée Jones, founder of PackYourOwnBag.com and author of “What’s Really Eating You: Overcome the Triggers of Comfort Eating”, talks about her new book and the psychological struggles of losing weight and keeping it off.The dangers of Yo-Yo Dieting have received a lot of attention in the media explosion around the recently published study by the Obesity research journal revealing how many of the incredible success stories from contestants of “The Biggest Loser” reality show have completely unraveled. Investigators at the National Institutes of Health tracked 14 contestants from “The Biggest Loser” over six years. Out of the 14, 13 regained much or all of the weight they worked so hard to lose.In this interview, Renée explains why choosing the right diet, knowing what foods to eat and not to eat, isn’t the real issue. “That’s the easy part”, she says. But following a diet while dealing with the emotional triggers that drive people to eat what she calls “comfort foods”, that make them feel better, is what so many dieters struggle with.Listen as Renée shares how she faced those same struggles herself.
