Why don't more doctors talk about death? Dr. Lydia Dugdale has been asking this question since she was a medical student. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine and directs the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and two books on how we die, including "The Lost Art of Dying." "Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality," she says. Not only unpracticed, but even themselves afraid. In this bonus clip from Episode 232 with Macie Bridge, Dugdale traces the path from that early perplexity on the wards to the ars moriendi, the medieval art of dying, grounded in the idea that dying is part of living, so if you want to die well you have to live well. Lydia comments on the emergence of palliative care and the way it let physicians hand conversations about death to specialists; the doctor who inherited the priest's old place at the threshold between life and death; the death anxiety clinicians carry without examining; virtue as preparation for dying, and community as the other half of living well; the unrepresented patients of New York City who die alone; and a grumpy old man, hospitalized for 20 years, who wept when she read aloud what she had written about him. Episode Highlights “Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality.” “we are really the intermediaries between life and death, I'm not saying we're priests, but that used to be the role of the priest. And so it is now the role of the physician. “If you want to die well, you have to live well.” We have to be all in or we end up like all of these patients here in New York City who have no one that I can reach out to as they're dying. “He started weeping and he said, someone finally saw me. Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.” About Lydia Dugdale Lydia Dugdale is a physician and medical ethicist who has spent fifteen years asking why medicine finds death so hard to talk about. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia, directs the Columbia Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and co-directs clinical ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Milstein Hospital, where she still sees patients. She edited "Dying in the Twenty-First Century" and wrote "The Lost Art of Dying," a modern ars moriendi. She trained at the University of Chicago and Yale-New Haven Hospital, holds a master's in ethics from Yale Divinity School, and in 2025 founded the nonprofit Heal the Nation.

"It's not a behavioral issue; it's a regulation issue." When we stop viewing neurodivergent children through the lens of pathology and start listening to their nervous systems, we realize they aren't broken, they're inviting us to awaken. In this episode of our Clinicians Series, where we go behind the therapy door to explore the strategies and approaches that truly transform mental health—host Sharlee Dixon welcomes back Dr. Nicole Dolan. Nicole is a writer, former clinician, and intuitive coach whose work bridges depth psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, and her own lived experience as a mother. Her forthcoming book, “The Art of Chaos”, explores how her world fell apart and how she discovered meaning, resilience, and healing within the mess of trauma, motherhood, and raising a neurodivergent child. Drawing from her background as a clinical director and her transition into holistic family coaching, Nicole helps parents uncover hidden patterns, heal generational wounds, and find strength through conscious parenting. Together, they explore how Nicole bridges clinical psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality to support neurodivergent children and their families. They uncover what traditional clinical models miss, how parents can regulate their own nervous systems to foster deep healing, and how clinicians can develop the skills needed to work effectively with neurodivergent family systems. Join us for an enlightening conversation about moving past boxes and labels toward wholeness, authentic connection, and true systemic healing.

CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Jenna Skowronski, and Hannah Every) discuss the continuum of prevention and heart failure with Drs. Anu Lala and Martha Gulati. Grounded in a clinical case of a 55-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity who is on the trajectory toward heart failure, this episode unpacks a paradigm-shifting framework from a joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement. The discussion explores how prevention should not be siloed from heart failure management but rather integrated across a patient’s lifespan—from primary prevention in at-risk individuals, to secondary prevention in those with established heart failure, to tertiary prevention in patients with advanced therapies such as LVADs and heart transplantation. The experts highlight the importance of aggressive risk factor management, biomarker-guided screening, the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level change to shift heart failure care from reactive to proactive. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls Systemic inflammatory diseases are associated with an elevated CVD risk that has significant implications for early detection, risk Heart failure prevention is a continuum, not a checkpoint. Prevention applies at every stage—from at-risk (Stage A) through advanced/post-transplant care—and every clinical encounter is an opportunity to intervene. The AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep, BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure) forms the foundation at every stage. Hypertension carries the highest population-attributable risk for heart failure of any modifiable risk factor. In the Framingham Heart Study, 91% of patients with newly diagnosed HF had pre-existing hypertension. The SPRINT trial demonstrated a 38% reduction in HF incidence with intensive blood pressure targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) identify individuals at heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. The ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines give a Class IIa recommendation for natriuretic peptide screening in at-risk patients. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is an underutilized screening tool that provides additional insight into CKM risk. The heart failure label does not close the prevention window—it accentuates it. Secondary prevention through GDMT optimization (quadruple therapy in HFrEF) and continued risk factor management remains critical. Tertiary prevention extends to post-LVAD and post-transplant patients, where hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and CKD management remain essential to long-term outcomes. Show notes For a comprehensive review, please review the full HFSA/ASPC Joint Scientific Statement: Lala A, Beavers C, Blumer V, et al. The Continuum of Prevention and Heart Failure in Cardiovascular Medicine. J Card Fail. 2026;32:75-105. doi:10.1016/j.cardfail.2025.06.013 1. What is the “continuum of prevention” framework, and how does it differ from traditional approaches to heart failure prevention? Historically, prevention and heart failure management have been treated as separate disciplines—primary prevention handled by preventive cardiologists and treatment managed by heart failure specialists. This joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement reframes prevention as a dynamic, continuous process that spans a patient’s entire lifespan, regardless of HF stage or ejection fraction. The framework maps onto the ACC/AHA HF staging system: Primary prevention targets Stage A (“at risk”) and Stage B (“pre-HF”) patients to reduce the burden of incident HF. Secondary prevention targets Stage C (symptomatic) and Stage D (advanced) patients to reduce the impact of established HF through GDMT optimization and ongoing risk factor management. Tertiary prevention encompasses risk factor management in patients with LVADs or heart transplants—populations where hypertension, diabetes, and obesity still drive outcomes. The Central Figure of the statement illustrates that Life’s Essential 8 (blood pressure and lipid control, diabetes management, exercise, sleep, smoking cessation, weight management, and diet/nutrition counseling) forms the foundation at every stage, with pharmacologic and device-based therapies layered on top as disease progresses (Figure) 2. How do traditional risk factors drive heart failure, and what should clinicians prioritize? Hypertension carries the greatest population-attributable risk for HF. In the Framingham Heart Study (N=5,143), HTN was associated with a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of HF, with a population-attributable risk of 39% in men and 59% in women. The SPRINT trial showed a 38% reduction in HF incidence and 25% reduction in the primary composite outcome with intensive BP targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) are associated with heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. In the ARIC study, incorporating NT-proBNP reclassified 20% of older adults without HF into Stage B. Factors that affect interpretation include age, sex, obesity (lower values), and CKD (higher values). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn): Concentrations above the 99th percentile are now included in the definition of Stage B HF. Troponin testing may complement natriuretic peptides, particularly when BNP/NT-proBNP values are ambiguous. Risk scores: The PCP-HF equation predicts 10-year HF risk using traditional risk factors plus QRS duration. The AHA PREVENT score incorporates HF risk calculation and includes markers of kidney function (albuminuria, eGFR), though it may underestimate risk in men and Black adults. The CKM syndrome staging framework (Stages 0–4) provides a holistic approach to assessing systemic cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic risk. 4. What are the key nontraditional risk factors and cross-cutting themes in heart failure prevention? Genetics: Pathogenic cardiomyopathy variants exist in ~1 in 200 individuals in the general population. The HFSA and ACMG recommend cascade testing to identify at-risk family members. Polygenic risk scores for dilated cardiomyopathy show a 3.8-fold risk for DCM in the top 10th percentile compared with the median. Sex-specific considerations: Women have 2.8 times the odds of developing HFpEF, while men have similarly increased odds of HFrEF. A complete obstetric/gynecologic history is essential—preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of HF. Peripartum cardiomyopathy requires intentional screening in high-risk populations. Cardiotoxic exposures: Clinicians should be aware of medications that cause direct myocardial toxicity (e.g., anthracyclines, trastuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors). A team-based approach with pharmacists can help optimize medication selection and risk factor modification. Social determinants of health: Environmental exposures (air pollution, arsenic, lead, cadmium), food insecurity, financial instability, and limited healthcare access contribute to HF risk and progression. Equity-focused, risk-based prevention strategies are needed. Psychological health: Depression is common in HF and independently associated with worse outcomes. Screening with brief questionnaires (e.g., PHQ-2) is recommended. Meditation, spirituality, and holistic wellness approaches remain underutilized. 5. What systems-level and policy changes are needed to move the needle on heart failure prevention? Multidisciplinary HF prevention clinics that bring together preventive cardiologists, HF specialists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, and genetic counselors are advocated by the statement. EHR-embedded risk stratification could proactively flag patients on a trajectory toward HF—analogous to sepsis alerts or fall risk flags—enabling earlier intervention, particularly for patients who may not reach a cardiologist. Cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilized, particularly in HFrEF (Class 2b recommendation) and HFpEF (not yet covered by Medicare). The HF-ACTION trial showed quality-of-life benefits, and the REHAB-HF trial showed particular benefit in older patients with HFpEF. Policy priorities include expanding insurance coverage for preventive screening and novel therapies (SGLT2i, GLP-1 RAs, nsMRAs), reducing clinical inertia through team-based care models with closer follow-up intervals, and ensuring equitable access to evidence-based therapies across diverse populations. Digital health and AI hold promise for personalized risk prediction, remote monitoring (e.g., wearable devices, implantable PA pressure monitors), and virtual cardiac rehabilitation to overcome access barriers.

Clients could know intellectually that they were safe, but they didn't feel it in their body. Healing has to happen at the level of threat physiology, not just cognition. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon speaks with Dr. Katelyn Lehman. Katelyn is a pioneering practitioner and the founder of Quantum Clinic, a Los Angeles-based wellness center dedicated to heart-brain coherence and nervous system healing through sympathetic resonance. Her innovative approach to mental health has been featured in Goop, the LA Times, NBC, and Beverly Hills Times, where she's been recognized for building a movement of radical reconnection, with nature, our bodies, intuition, and one another. By blending science and spirituality, she's reshaping the landscape of mental wellness, offering transformative healing experiences. I'm excited to welcome Katelyn back to our Clinicians Series, where we take listeners behind the therapy door to explore the strategies and approaches that truly support mental health. In this episode, we dive into the creation of Quantum Clinic's integrative, somatic model, blending heart-brain coherence biofeedback, float therapy, and expressive arts, to address trauma, chronic stress, pain, and mood disorders.

Most of us who care for patients can remember seeing a name on the schedule and feeling our heart sink. What makes some clinical relationships so difficult? Is it something about the patient—or something about the interaction itself? Dr Jeffrey Jackson has spent more than two decades studying this question. His research has shown that difficult encounters are associated not only with patient characteristics but also with physician factors, including the clinician's approach to psychosocial issues. In this conversation, we explore what his work can teach us about why encounters become difficult, how trust can gradually emerge, and why some of the patients that physicians initially dread eventually become among the most meaningful to care for. Along the way, we discuss chronic pain, personality disorders, longitudinal relationships in primary care, the role of physician self-awareness, and the difference between caring for patients and trying to control them. This episode asks what it means to remain present with patients whose suffering—and whose behavior—challenge us the most.
In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, welcomes back Karen M. Tobias, DVM, MS, DACVS, to discuss her recent Clinician's Brief article, “Maximizing Air Flow Through Stenotic Nares via Ala Vestibuloplasty.” While many find the nasal anatomy confusing and this surgical procedure intimidating, Dr. Tobias guides us through this highly practical approach, demystifying the surgery along the way.

Have you ever pulled into your driveway and suddenly realized you don't even remember the actual drive home? We've all gone on autopilot during a routine commute, but behind the wheel, your brain is actually running a high-stakes, multi-system marathon. When you or your clients are recovering from a concussion, driving isn't just a daily task—it's an incredibly heavy, cognitively exhausting hurdle. Yet, despite how critical driving is for an individual's independence, it remains one of the biggest blind spots in clinical practice, leaving patients to dangerously figure out their readiness entirely on their own. Navigating an intersection, tracking a pedestrian on the sidewalk, and managing headlight glare require peak performance from the visual, vestibular, and cognitive systems—the exact areas most vulnerable after a head injury. Returning to the road too soon risks a subsequent accident, while avoiding it entirely out of fear leads to long-term anxiety and isolation. The solution isn't to guess or wait until someone "feels fine" in their living room; it's about breaking down the complex neurological demands of the road and utilizing a structured, progressive framework to rebuild that independence safely. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: The Hidden Cognitive Marathon of Driving: Why a routine trip to the grocery store demands an intense combination of divided attention, rapid visual processing, and executive function. The Clinical Blind Spot: Why standard clinic visits often fail to accurately assess driving readiness, and how occupational therapy driver rehab services can bridge the gap. A 5-Stage Progressive Return-to-Driving Framework: A step-by-step roadmap to transition safely from a passenger to a confident driver without overloading the nervous system. The Co-Pilot Strategy and Safety Boundaries: Crucial rules for practicing on the road, including how to handle "bad brain days" and when to safely pass the keys back to a partner. Whether you are a clinician looking to step up your care and confidently guide your complex clients, or a survivor trying to navigate your own healing journey, this episode is going to change the way you look at the road.

What if our obsession with “dangerous” sun is killing us?If you (recklessly) leave your urban office for lunch, you are told to yank your hat down low. If you (again, recklessly) let your kids dash into the backyard, you are told to slather them in sunscreen—or learn to live with the guilt.And yes, sun avoidance undoubtedly prevents some skin cancers, including the deadliest type, melanomaBut a recent study suggests sunlight contributes to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in the United States alone—orders of magnitude more than the estimated 8400 annual US melanoma deaths.In this episode, we discuss evidence linking sun avoidance toalmost a million annual deaths in the US and Europe alone, exceeding the number caused by global military conflictsbreast, pancreatic, colon, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroketo INCREASED risk of death in those diagnosed with sun-induced melanoma.Yes, you read that right; some melanoma deaths may be related to too little sunlight. (But do understand that this is complex--sunlight DOES cause melanoma. Well, some melanomas....)We also discuss why supplementing with vitamin D pills fails to remedy these terrible conditions, and what a thoughtful person can do instead, while staying safe.We hope you enjoy this episode, and that it helps you enjoy the sun again--thoughtfully, of course.

Something goes wrong in bed and gay men immediately blame desire, performance, or themselves. Sex educator and trauma specialist Fran Frye says they're diagnosing the wrong problem. The real issue is the nervous system — and most men have no idea it's running the show. Rick and Fran dig into the five nervous system responses that hijack sexual experiences, why porn is an idea not a manual, and how shame quietly replaces honest communication for gay men over 40. This is not a conversation about dysfunction. It's about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you. Key Takeaways: Why "erectile difficulties" are almost always psychological, not physicalHow fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and fuck responses show up during sexThe difference between consent and compliance, and why it mattersWhy gay men struggle more than most with saying noWhat emotional literacy actually looks like in an intimate encounterHow to pause high arousal states before they run the show About Fran Fran Frye works at the intersection of sexuality, trauma, and compassion, with a particular focus on supporting men as they unpack their sexuality within a patriarchal culture that often labels them as dangerous, defective, or emotionally closed off. She helps dismantle these narratives through curiosity, empathy and practical tools that foster healthier relationships with the body, partners and self. A certified Sex Educator, Counselor, and Clinician trained in compulsive sexual behaviors, Fran is also a somatic sex practitioner. Her work spans sexual shame, trauma, grief, relationship rupture and body disconnection, grounded in both professional training and lived experience as a sexual assault survivor, former military spouse, and athlete. Beyond her professional work, Fran is deeply committed to service. Over the years she has volunteered in several areas of crisis and community support, including suicide prevention, rape victim's advocacy, human trafficking prevention, and serving as a rape crisis hotline operator. She has also contributed to efforts addressing food scarcity, sits with hospice patients in their final chapters, and supports Veterans and their families. These experiences have brought her into close contact with trauma, grief, courage, and resilience - insights she carries directly into the compassionate, grounded way she supports others.

Main topics covered: · Jared's experience with HLH and its impact on his physical and mental health · The role of physical strength in identity and recovery · Strategies for mental resilience and navigating uncertainty · Managing self-worth and detaching from outcome-driven validation · Building and scaling a coaching business amidst personal challenges · Lessons on delegation, mindset, and embracing imperfection Timestamps: · (00:00) – Introduction and pandemic of adversity: Jared's journey begins · (01:45) – Experiencing HLH: initial symptoms and misdiagnosis · (06:39) – The physical and emotional toll during hospital stay · (09:50) – Understanding HLH and its mortality rate · (11:19) – Sedation, dreams, and memory blackouts during critical illness · (15:10) – The role of muscle mass and physical strength as life insurance · (18:11) – Emotional aftermath: grief, identity loss, and rebuilding · (20:30) – Overcoming physical atrophy and mental challenges in recovery · (22:19) – Transition from hospital to home and ongoing rehab · (24:48) – Ongoing management of diagnosis and vision loss · (33:49) – Powerlifting comeback and celebrating life with family · (34:46) – Lessons in resilience and continuing reinvention · (36:18) – Building a business with clarity amidst declining vision · (37:05) – The importance of mindset, delegation, and embracing fear · (43:02) – Final message: "You are not done yet" Resources & Links: · Crucial Conversations by Al Switzler, Joseph Grenny, and Ron McMillan · Jared's Instagram · The Confident Sports Clinician's Checklist More About Jared: Jared Maynard is a Physical Therapist, strength coach, powerlifter, ClinicalAthlete provider, business owner and speaker who believes that "you're not done yet." In 2023, after nearly two decades of lifting and a decade of coaching, Jared was diagnosed with HLH—a rare, often fatal immune condition that landed him in the ICU on life support. His body broke down, the last treatment failed and the doctors prepared his family for the end. But his life was saved by two things: a miraculous recovery, and the muscle he built through the years spent in the gym. He woke up in the ICU as skin and bones – 40 pounds lighter, and unable to walk, talk or breathe on his own. Just over 1 year later, he returned to powerlifting to deadlift a lifetime PR – then did it again three months later. Now, despite being legally blind and navigating progressive vision loss, Jared's mission is clearer than ever: to give you the skills, support and hope to rebuild after everything falls apart. Through his business, Unbreakable Strength, he's the coach who helps coaches and clinicians beat decision fatigue, get out of pain, and build strength & confidence. He speaks on podcasts and stages as living proof of what's possible when you believe that "you're not done yet."

Why are companies investing heavily in AI, analytics, and data platforms while business leaders still struggle to see what is happening across their operations quickly enough to make confident decisions? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Massimo Merlo, Vice President for UK, Iberia, and Italy at Elastic, about why the next stage of enterprise AI adoption will depend less on who deploys the most advanced models and more on which companies can give people and AI systems access to relevant, trusted, and secure information when decisions need to be made. Massimo describes the problem as a lack of decision-grade visibility. Most large companies are not short of data. They have spent decades building data platforms, analytics systems, dashboards, cloud infrastructure, and reporting tools. Yet information remains fragmented across departments and applications, insights arrive too late, and employees often struggle to find the small amount of information that matters among enormous volumes of data. The result is a growing gap between having information and being able to act on it. Massimo explains why simply adding an AI model to this environment does not solve the underlying problem. If an AI system is connected to fragmented, outdated, poorly governed, or irrelevant information, it can produce convincing answers without providing reliable business outcomes. The quality of an AI model matters, but the context available to that model increasingly determines whether AI becomes a useful business asset or an operational liability. This leads to one of the biggest technology conversations emerging around enterprise AI: context engineering. Massimo explains how context engineering provides AI systems with the relevant data, tools, permissions, organizational knowledge, and guardrails required to complete a task safely. Rather than sending ever-larger volumes of information to AI models, companies need infrastructure capable of retrieving the right information and making it available at the moment a person or software agent needs to act. Fraud detection provides a practical example. An AI agent evaluating a transaction needs more than access to a powerful model. It requires customer history, behavioral patterns, company risk thresholds, permissions, compliance requirements, and the ability to recognize activity that falls outside normal behavior. Without that context, the system could block legitimate customers or approve fraudulent transactions while presenting its decision with complete confidence. We also discuss why digitally mature companies can still struggle with real-time decision-making. Massimo shares lessons from Elastic's work with organizations including Reed, the Met Office, and Rightmove, explaining why having sophisticated technology systems does not automatically make a company context mature. Information can still remain trapped between applications, teams, and databases, preventing employees and AI agents from seeing the complete picture when it matters. The conversation challenges another long-standing enterprise technology habit: adding more dashboards. Massimo explains why dashboards often provide visibility into what has already happened without helping people decide what to do next. Companies can continue adding reporting layers while employees become overwhelmed by information and remain unable to identify the actions that will improve customer experience, productivity, security, or business performance. A healthcare example demonstrates what becomes possible when companies solve this problem. Massimo shares how CogStack at King's College Hospital brought together unstructured patient information during the COVID-19 pandemic and made it searchable using natural language processing. Clinicians could find relevant information without waiting for technical teams to build new queries or systems, helping medical professionals access information when patient decisions needed to be made. For CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, data leaders, and technology teams trying to improve AI ROI, Massimo offers practical advice on where to begin. Do not start with another model, tool, or dashboard. Start with a business decision or workflow that is currently too slow, unreliable, or difficult to execute. Identify what information that decision requires, where the data is stored, who or what system needs access to it, which permissions should apply, and where information currently becomes delayed or disconnected. That process can reveal the visibility gaps preventing companies from turning their existing data and AI investments into measurable results. We also examine why search and retrieval are becoming infrastructure concerns for companies introducing AI agents. As software agents begin making recommendations and taking actions across business systems, their performance will depend on whether they can securely retrieve relevant information at scale. For business and technology leaders facing pressure to demonstrate returns from AI investment, this conversation provides a practical framework for improving enterprise search, context engineering, AI agent reliability, real-time operational visibility, and decision-making. The companies that gain the greatest value from AI may not be those collecting the most data or deploying the most models. They will be the companies capable of finding what matters, understanding its context, and getting trusted information to people and AI systems quickly enough to act on it. That is where better visibility can become better decisions, stronger productivity, and business growth.

COULD A RELATIONSHIP BE YOUR TICKET OUT OF HELL… OUT OF HERE? What if the relationship you keep trying to save exists to strip bare and destroy the performative version of yourself that keeps calling superficial captivity love? Human beings built temples and spiritual systems in pursuit of liberation. Then we entered intimate relationships and treated the spiritual practice available as a comfort machine. Earth is the campus. Relationship is the curriculum. Relating is the practice. Your partner reaches places no sermon can reach. Their freedom exposes your attachment. Their difference threatens the identity built around being needed, chosen, desired, or reassured. The argument you keep trying to win may be the lesson your consciousness keeps refusing to learn. Intimate hell becomes the preferred model because it feels familiar. Clinicians may call it reenactment. Hawkins may call it an attractor field. The language changes. The return continues. The psyche keeps choosing the emotional climate it already knows how to survive. Rejection feels like chemistry. Distance feels like mystery. Control feels like care. Anxiety feels like passion. Performance feels like love. The partner becomes supply. You provide my peace. You regulate my worth. You quiet my fear. You prove that I matter. I call you perfect while you continue feeding the wound whose appetite never ends. That appetite remains endless because the wound has been starved from within. Its missing nourishment is direct, nonjudgmental observation: seeing fear, shame, grief, rage, need, and jealousy without condemnation, verdict, or exile. Integration asks us to offer inwardly what we keep demanding outwardly. We avoid that work. So intimacy becomes a supply chain. Giving stays conditional upon receiving. The pedestal holds whoever keeps the wound fed. When the supply weakens, the “perfect partner” becomes cold, selfish, or changed. Unconditional love breaks the loop. It allows truth without punishment, closeness without ownership, care without self-erasure, difference without exile, and freedom without abandonment. It can set boundaries, remove access, or end the relationship without stripping either person of human worth. The deepest question reaches beyond staying together: Can two human beings stop employing each other to manage their wounds long enough to discover whether love remains? Your partner cannot carry you out of hell. Relationship may reveal why you keep choosing it.
What if the success of your MedTech product is decided months before you ever launch it?Many clinician founders believe commercialisation begins once regulatory approval is achieved and the product reaches the market. In reality, the companies that achieve the strongest adoption are already building demand, educating the market, and creating advocates long before launch.

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast—and the first installment of the new series on the road—host Christin Stanford travels to Seattle, Washington to visit Seattle King County Clinic, a large-scale, free pop-up clinic that has delivered more than $33 million in health services over 11 years. Christin sits down with Julia Colson, the clinic's founder and project executive, to unpack the vision, partnerships, and community impact behind this remarkable initiative. Julia shares how a single episode of 60 Minutes sparked the idea, how a "stone soup" model of collaboration keeps the clinic running, and why her ultimate goal is to see the clinic put out of business. She also speaks to the power of language access in delivering truly equitable care—including a moving story about a patient who found an interpreter for Quechua, an indigenous language of the Incan empire. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two will feature medical director Rick Arnold and focus on the clinical delivery side of the clinic. Learn more about Language Services at Language Services | AMN Healthcare About Julia Colson Julia Colson is the Founder and Project Executive of Seattle King County Clinic, operating under Seattle Center, a department of the City of Seattle.

Comparison of buprenorphine treatment by virtual-only vs. traditional clinicians Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment Few patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive medications for OUD (MOUD), such as buprenorphine. Given that many patients, particularly those in rural communities, do not live near a clinician who prescribes MOUD, telemedicine could increase MOUD access. However, clinicians and policymakers are concerned about the quality of the virtual-only model. This study compared the care provided by virtual-only versus traditional clinicians. The authors found few substantive differences in who used virtual-only care. For example, patients initiating buprenorphine with virtual-only versus traditional clinicians were equally likely to live in urban areas. Patients initiating buprenorphine with virtual-only clinicians had more visits in the 6 months after the initiation and were more likely to be on buprenorphine at 6 months, but had fewer days of continuous buprenorphine treatment. These results can inform ongoing debates about the strengths and weaknesses of virtual-only OUD care. Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Did you know that a child's brain doesn't fully mature until they are 25 years old—and that this completely changes how they recover from a concussion? As parents and clinicians, we often treat a youth concussion as if it's just a smaller version of an adult injury, expecting the same symptoms and the same rapid recovery timelines. But relying on an adult framework means you might completely miss crucial, subtle behavioral red flags in a toddler, overlook why an adolescent is suddenly struggling in school, or accidentally prolong their healing process simply through your own anxiety. Fearing the unknown can cause us to overprotect and isolate our kids, which research shows actually stalls their recovery. The good news is that concussions are fully treatable, but navigating the road to healing requires understanding the unique, developing brain it lands in. In this episode, we break down exactly how concussions present from toddlers to teens, how to spot the critical ER red flags, and how to become the calm, supportive safe space your child needs to fully recover. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why a child's metabolic recovery timeline naturally takes longer than an adult's, and why a four-week recovery window is completely normal. How to spot concussion symptoms in children under eight using keen behavioral observations—like rigid posture or "unicorn sunglasses"—when they lack the words to tell you what hurts. The surprising hormonal differences in puberty that cause adolescent females to experience a higher symptom burden and longer recovery times. The powerful, research-backed link between parental anxiety and prolonged youth recovery, and how managing your own fears actively helps your child heal faster. Click play to learn how to confidently navigate pediatric concussion care and give your child the exact support they need to safely get back to school, sport, and life. This episode is brought to you by Headquarters Health. Headquarters Health is on a mission to make world-class concussion care accessible to everyone. Through its virtual concussion clinic, patients can connect with concussion specialists and receive evidence-based, personalized care without the long wait.

Clinicians are treated as invincible, so when their own mental health suffers, many stay silent. Namit Choksi, a physician entrepreneur and health care executive, joins to explain how credentialing forms and a culture that treats wellbeing as a perk push doctors to hide depression, anxiety, and substance use until they reach a breaking point. You will hear why disclosing a behavioral health condition can threaten a clinician's malpractice and life insurance and trigger a fit-for-duty review, why this fear creates a vicious circle that hospitals only notice once it is too late, and why losing a single clinician can cost more than a million dollars. Choksi also explains why legacy assistance programs fall short, with visit caps, long waits, and rotating counselors, and what confidential, barrier-free support looks like instead.

Clinicians are pushed to do more with less, until many quietly conclude they are not enough. J. C. Sue, a family medicine physician and adjunct faculty member, returns to unpack where that belief comes from and why it does so much damage across medical school, residency, and practice. You will hear how the business side of medicine and a competitive training culture teach doctors that they must be perfect, why serving beyond your real limits leaves patients, employers, and clinicians all worse off, and what a healthier reframe sounds like: you are human, not infinite, and that is enough. Hsu also walks through how to recover after an inevitable mistake, from acknowledging the feelings to separating human error from a faulty system to giving yourself grace. This episode is based on his article "Medical mistakes happen and you are still enough," published on KevinMD.

Healing isn't about 'fixing' a survivor or making choices for them; it's about restoring the power of choice that trauma stole. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Erin Williamson, the Chief Programs and Strategy Officer at Love146, a leading organization dedicated to preventing child trafficking and providing holistic care for survivors. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Public Administration and over two decades of experience across social services and criminal justice, Erin brings deep expertise to the complex realities of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation.

Credentialing rarely makes headlines, but it plays a critical role in determining how quickly patients can access care, how providers join health plan networks, and how healthcare organizations maintain quality at scale. In this episode of Quality Matters, host Tsveta Polhemus examines why credentialing has become one of the most important foundations for modern healthcare delivery—especially as virtual care continues expanding across states and specialties. Joining the conversation are Sharon Meers, President and Co-Founder of Midi Health, and Greg Smith, Director of Operations at Evernorth Health Services. Together, they explore how credentialing impacts providers, payers, and patients alike, and why standardized, trusted processes are essential for improving access while maintaining confidence in care. Sharon shares Midi Health's remarkable growth from approximately 20 clinicians to nearly 800 providers serving patients nationwide. As the organization rapidly expanded across all 50 states, credentialing and payer enrollment became one of its greatest operational challenges. She explains how achieving NCQA Credentialing Accreditation enabled delegated credentialing with major national payers, reducing enrollment timelines from months to just days and allowing patients to access care sooner. Greg offers the payer perspective, discussing how credentialing supports network adequacy, strengthens audit readiness, and creates greater consistency across provider networks. He explains why recognized standards help reduce administrative friction while giving health plans greater confidence in the organizations they partner with. The episode concludes with a Patient Voice segment featuring Carroll Schreibman, who shares her experience navigating perimenopause symptoms after years of searching for answers. She reflects on how quickly accessing virtual care through Midi Health transformed her health, work, and quality of life—and why listening to patients remains central to delivering meaningful care. As healthcare delivery continues evolving, one message becomes clear: credentialing isn't simply a compliance exercise. It's the infrastructure that enables trusted, timely, and equitable access to quality care. Highlights Credentialing Enables Access Credentialing determines how quickly providers can begin seeing patients, making it one of the most important drivers of timely access to care. Scaling Virtual Care Responsibly Midi Health shares how standardized credentialing supported rapid national expansion while maintaining consistency and quality. Trusted Standards Build Confidence NCQA Credentialing Accreditation creates a common framework that strengthens relationships between providers, payers, and patients. The Payer Perspective Credentialing helps health plans improve network adequacy, streamline oversight, and reduce administrative burden while supporting quality care.

Regulation gets you approved. A go-to-market strategy gets you adopted.The question is: are you spending more time preparing your medical device for approval than preparing it for commercial success?Many clinician founders believe launching a medical device starts with regulation, manufacturing, or raising investment. But by the time you're thinking about those things, many of the decisions that determine commercial success have already been made. In this episode, Hakeem shares a practical seven-step framework to help you validate the problem, build the right evidence, develop a go-to-market strategy, and create the foundations for successful commercialisation and future expansion into export markets.Listeners will discover:The seven stages every clinician should complete before commercialising and exporting a medical deviceWhy validating the problem, evidence, and go-to-market strategy matters more than rushing to launchHow to identify the biggest commercial constraint holding your MedTech business back and prioritise the next step towards adoption, sales, and international growthPlay this episode now to benchmark your progress against the seven-step framework and discover the next step that will help you commercialise, export, and grow your medical device business with confidence.Book a 30min Healthcare Export Accelerator discovery callMessage me via DM on LinkedinThis podcast is for clinicians and solo founders feeling stuck in turning their medical devices into real businesses, with practical insight on go to market strategy, sales strategy, product launch, sales plans, business growth, exporting, selling internationally and how to scale up their international sales in MedTech.
Julie Yoo sits down with Dr. Suchi Saria, founder and CEO of Bayesian Health, to discuss the current state of clinical AI and what it takes to deploy AI systems in real-world healthcare settings. While much of the recent attention around AI has focused on copilots, chatbots, and administrative workflows, Saria argues that the greatest opportunity lies in helping clinicians make better decisions at the point of care. She explains how Bayesian Health's clinical intelligence platform continuously analyzes multimodal patient data to identify signs of deterioration, sepsis, and other high-risk conditions before they become medical emergencies. The conversation explores FDA approval, reimbursement, clinician trust, AI governance, hospital workflows, and why healthcare requires a higher standard of evidence than most software categories. Along the way, Saria shares lessons from bringing AI into clinical practice, the future of proactive medicine, and why the next era of healthcare may be defined by continuous intelligence rather than reactive care.

As therapists, it is easy to fall into the trap of protocol-based treatment—treating a clinical diagnosis like a strict recipe book. But true, transformative patient care requires us to step back from the "cookbook" approach and lean heavily into intentional clinical reasoning and pattern recognition.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin takes the mic for an essential masterclass on the critical distinctions between screening, assessment, and treatment in clinical practice. She unpacks how blurring these clinical boundaries leads to stalled progress and directly impacts overall patient safety.Hallie explores the delicate balance between structural anatomy and true muscle function, provides practical strategies for sustainable habit formation, and highlights why patient-centered decision-making is the key to successful therapy. If you are ready to confidently look at the whole patient, break out of professional silos, and elevate your interdisciplinary collaboration, this episode will completely reframe your daily practice.Key Topics & TakeawaysUnblurring the Boundaries: Clear, non-negotiable definitions separating screening, comprehensive assessment, and actual functional treatment.The Clinical Reasoning Shift: Why relying strictly on protocol-based "cookbook" therapy limits your growth as a clinician and slows down patient outcomes.Anatomy vs. Function: Understanding that structural differences (like a tongue-tie) are only half the battle—how the muscles actually move and compensate dictates the treatment plan.The Referral Strength: Normalizing interdisciplinary care and seeing specialized cross-referrals as a position of clinical strength rather than a limitation.Integrated Care Systems: A high-level look at breaking down professional silos to build a truly holistic, collaborative network for your patients.Soundbites"Screening is simply deciding if more evaluation is needed. It's a decision point, not a roadmap for immediate therapy.""Assessment is about understanding exactly why the dysfunction exists, looking at the entire system from the bottom up.""Treatment is about fundamentally changing muscle function and building sustainable new habits, not just checking exercises off a list."00:00:36 – Welcome to the Untethered Podcast00:01:12 – Defining the distinction between screening, assessment, and treatment00:02:43 – The primary purpose of a screening00:06:23 – Why assessment requires clinical detective work00:11:02 – Treatment: Changing function rather than just exercises00:15:25 – Normalizing the non-linear path of progress00:21:49 – The problem with collecting interventions without clinical reasoning00:25:01 – Anatomy versus function: Why function must drive clinical decisions00:30:13 – Shifting from rigid silos to integrated care00:39:07 – Conclusion and final thoughts on serving patientsLinks & ResourcesFast Myo Screening Tool: Stop guessing during your intakes and download the checklist at FastMyoScreening.com.FREE TRAINING: Ready to bridge the gap between screening and assessment?
