In this exciting episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, we're discussing “Tips for Arthritis Pain Management”, with special guest Dr. Ken Redcross. More than 350 million people globally suffer from arthritis. In the United States, it's estimated that one in four adults, or about 58.5 million people, have been diagnosed with arthritis and suffer from arthritis-related joint pain. Pain management can be challenging due to medication side effects, contraindications, and inconveniences, such as dosage, texture, and smell. If you suffer from arthritis, you may find it harder to walk, move around, and enjoy physical activities. When your joints wear down over time, the cushioning provided by the cartilage erodes, resulting in pain and stiffness. To manage the pain and make things more bearable you can follow a few simple tips to improve your quality of life. Physical health is a critical part of Holistic Wealth, and millions of people globally suffer from chronic pain and disability due to inadequate pain management.   Dr. Ken Redcross is the author of “Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor,” and founder of a unique concierge service providing patient-first treatment through Strategic Health Services.

The speed with which a medical team responds to an emergency situation can make the difference between life and death, as well as impact the odds of liability. Listen to this episode titled Rapid Response Team Strategies for Better Patient Care and Reduced Liability. Here to discuss the crucial role of a rapid response team is Yulianna Fedorchak, a highly experienced nurse and Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC) who helped to initiate the rapid response team at New York's Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Yulianna describes the composition of a rapid response team and the circumstances in which it's appropriate to call on them. She points out that the culture of blame in some hospitals makes nurses afraid to make this call. Much of her work involves encouraging nurses and other medical personnel to do so. She has noticed that in hospitals in well-to-do communities, patients' families tend to call for minor issues; whereas those in less affluent areas are reluctant. Overall, she says that the ability to call for a rapid response team is not abused. Hesitance to write will also hamper their efforts to communicate on social media. It may limit their ability to creatively network. Yulianna also emphasizes the importance of preventive actions, i.e., addressing and solving an issue before the rapid response team is needed. Finally, she describes what LNCs can look for in reading medical information and how accurate and meticulous charting can prevent errors and liability. This podcast provides essential information for anyone involved, either as a consultant or a clinician, related to hospital issues. Here's What to Expect from the Podcast: Rapid Response Team Strategies for Better Patient Care and Reduced Liability Who makes up a rapid response team? When is it essential to call this team? How can you take preventative action so that you don't need to call the rapid response team? What are some specific benefits when a rapid response team functions well within a hospital? What issues should an LNC look for in terms of failure to respond and related concerns? Listen to our podcasts or watch them using our app, Expert.edu, available at legalnursebusiness.com/expertedu.

In this special two-part series of the Holistic Wealth podcast with Keisha Blair, our special guest is Dr. Ken Redcross and we are sharing tips and strategies to navigate cold and flu season. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we focussed on adults, and specifically people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and those undergoing cancer treatment during cold and flu season. In Part 2 – we are focussing on kids – and how families and parents can protect their kids during cold and flu season. Children's hospitals across North America have reported significant surges in patients, which led many to cancel major surgeries to redeploy staff to help in overcrowded emergency departments and intensive care units. The situation is exacerbated by low and sometimes non-existent supplies of children's pain and fever medications. In this episode, Dr. Redcross also outlined that there are more than 50 different species of cockroaches and in urban areas like New York City many urban dwellings have homes with cockroaches and they can also cause respiratory illnesses. Cockroach droppings, saliva, and decomposing bodies have proteins that can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. On inhalation, the proteins from the cockroaches can inflame and constrict the airways, leading to wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Tune into Part 2 of this transformative special featuring Dr. Ken Redcross, where we delve into essential strategies and tips to not only prepare but thrive through the upcoming cold and flu season.

His work is dedicated to advancing our understanding of cancer biology, enabling the development of more precise diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. Through his efforts, he aims to revolutionize the way we approach cancer treatment, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Additionally, Ron de Pinho actively engages in educating influential figures such as the President of the United States and the Pope, advocating for policies that support the advancement of biotechnology in healthcare and sustainability. His dedication to both research and advocacy solidifies his position as a leading figure in the biotech industry. Ronald A. DePinho, M.D. is currently past president and distinguished university professor of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His research has focused on the fundamental mechanisms driving cancer and aging and the clinical application of such knowledge to prevent and treat disease. Dr. DePinho studied biology at Fordham University, where he graduated class salutatorian, and received his M.D. degree with distinction in microbiology and immunology from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He performed his residency and postdoctoral training at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.

Ginny sits down with board-certified dermatologist & friend, Dr. Mohiba Tareen. In the fall of 2018, Ginny needed Dr. Tareen's help. She had a huge lump growing rapidly above her right eye and her face and eye were swelling terribly. She was concerned. Dr. Tareen was also concerned and was able to see her rather quickly. Upon entering the room, Dr. Tareen diagnosed Ginny with singles...on her face. This seemed unusual since she was only in her 30's, but Dr. Tareen asked right away, "Have you been under a lot of stress?" That's what sparked this episode and the important dialogue around the topic of how stress manifests in our hair, skin & nails. Who better to have this conversation with than an expert?! Ginny wondered if our bodies sometimes know we're under stress before our minds can catch up. Dr. Tareen unpacks how stress can impact the skin with things like shingles, acne, eczema, psoriasis, precancerous lesions...or even melanoma. Ginny also experienced significant hair loss & breakage during this time, as identified by her hair stylist. Dr. Tareen let us know that this is very common, especially in women. She breaks down the 3 different phases of hair growth and how they play a part: telogen, anagen & catagen. Dr. Tareen didn't just talk about the issues, but also provided solutions to all of these issues. In nails, you may also experience breakage and Dr. Tareen shared that picking cuticles & skin is also common when people are under stress. And of course, it wouldn't be a complete conversation with a board-certified dermatologist if we didn't talk prevention (your skin is your largest organ!) and sun protection. Dr. Tareen unpacked the best sunscreens and that you need to protect your skin from both UVA (aging) and UVA (burning) rays and the best way to do this is with a physical block, like a zinc.

Tammy Petruccelli is an evidential medium and published author, and in this episode of Seeker's Insights, you'll meet her as I did … as a reiki master, whose knowledge of energy healing is exceptionally broad. She's a certified master who also teaches reiki at Pike Creek Reiki and Healing Arts in Delaware. Tammy took her training as a healer a bit farther and completed the Raven Keyes Medical Reiki Training, which certified her to be included and perform continuous reiki for her clients in many hospitals, including the operating theater of New York's Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. In this episode, Tammy explains energy healing, what reiki is, and talks specifically about her own journey through breast cancer. Nothing you'll hear should be considered medical advice – you can check out the PikeCreekReiki.com website and review the services offered there. But I think you'll agree that Tammy's story of reiki, energy and other forms of healing – and how she, herself, became cancer-free – is nothing short of amazing.

Dr. Redcross shares his nearly 20 years of experience and breaks down the four cornerstone qualities that are essential to creating a life-long patient-doctor bond. Meet Dr. Ken Redcross "I discovered my passion for medicine and science in high school and thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, until I took a Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class. I've always loved animals, but at 16, the Anatomy class was my awakening moment, and I realized it was people I had to treat." LEARN MORE: https://www.drkenredcross.com/ BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Bond-Cornerstones-Lasting-Caring-Relationship/dp/0692138005 "Now, after having practiced medicine for 20 years, I've had a few more Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy-class, light-bulb moments. While I enjoyed working at medical practices and clinics, something was missing. Having to rush through every patient-packed day with a mere 5-7 minute time slot for each of them felt unfair to my patients and to my purpose. It took some time for me to realize that I'd have to work within a different model – or create my own — which is how the concierge concept emerged: Strategic Health Services ™." "I am a board-certified Internal Medicine physician, and I completed my medical training at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in 2001. I provided care at my first job in Oxnard, California, then transitioned to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills. I launched my Concierge practice in 2007 and established Redcross Communications, Inc., under which I provide medical education through the media." Connecting. Active listening. Kindness. Accessibility. Patient-centric. "Collectively, these actions and attitudes create lasting bonds with my patients. By building a safe and trusting space, the doctor-patient bond is reinforced, opening up more opportunities for healing." Bond: The 4 Cornerstones of a Lasting and Caring Relationship with Your Doctor Why would you want to trust your life to someone with whom you don't have a personal relationship? How strong of a bond do you have with your primary doctor? Have you ever wanted to ask your doctor a question but didn't because you felt uncomfortable? Dr. Redcross is concerned that the patient-doctor bond is now on faulty ground and that healthcare happiness is much more difficult to attain. No relationship can survive for very long without trust, healthy communication, mutual respect, and a willingness to be empathetic on both sides of the stethoscope.

What is Mitochondrial Myopathy? my·op·a·thy mīˈäpəTHē/ The word “myopathy” means disease of the muscle tissue. As the term implies, mitochondrial myopathy (MM) is a neuromuscular disease caused by damage to the mitochondria. Many patients with mitochondrial disease have a mitochondrial myopathy, either as their sole diagnosis or as an additional, descriptive co-diagnosis as part of their mitochondrial disorder. Mitochondrial myopathy may be present in adults and children, and may occur with or without a genetic mitochondrial disease diagnosis. Further, several clinical trials are currently examining the impact of various therapies or potential treatments for people with mitochondrial myopathy. Join us this month on Friday, November 20th at 12 pm EST with Dr. Bruce Cohen, Director of Pediatric Neurology and then the Director of the NeuroDevelopmental Science Center at Akron Children’s Hospital. Dr. Cohen is well-known and highly respected as an expert author, speaker, clinician and research investigator in mitochondrial disorders. Topics for this important discussion include: What is mitochondrial myopathy? How is it diagnosed? Are there treatments for mitochondrial myopathy? Other management strategies? What are the most common symptoms of mitochondrial myopathy? Who typically is diagnosed with mitochondrial myopathy? About The Speaker Dr. Bruce H. Cohen attended college at Washington University in St. Louis and a BA in chemistry, graduating summa cum laude in 1978. He received his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y. in 1982 and went on to his pediatric residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, followed by a residency in neurology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York.

How can we become our own best advocate? Today, Dr. Anne Curtis explains that the best way to find more opportunities is to go after them with all the enthusiasm we've got. She shares stories throughout her career and recalls that she's always felt highly motivated to work hard, get things done, and prove herself in a career in medicine. She advises us to take the opportunities we are presented with, even if they seem daunting at first. It is when we prove ourselves to our mentors and show them that we're willing to do the work, that they build more trust in us—and offer us more and more opportunity. Dr. Curtis explains that—especially in these early years of training—our one job is to become good physicians. She leaves us with this: “If you want to do anything that involves patient care and research, you better be a darn good doctor.” Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Be your own best advocate. Opportunities may or may not come—it's up to you to seek them out. 2. Find role models for potential. Look for the mentors that you can see yourself in, and realize that their potential also exists in you. When you follow in their footsteps, you'll achieve greater and greater things. 3. The mark of a good mentee is when a supervisor trusts you when they're not there. Develop trust and prove that you can handle things on your own, that you know what you're doing, and that you're willing to do things the right way.

It’s even more challenging in times of crisis when you or a loved one are suffering with a chronic or potentially life-threatening illness or injury.  It can be overwhelming and it’s easy to feel lost. It's the job of hospital chaplains to support patients and family members in navigating these trying times and helping them make what can be some of the most difficult decisions they will ever face. Today’s guest, Ted Taylor, is a chaplain and Director of Pastoral Care & Training at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton.  Ted supervises the spiritual and emotional care provided by the hospital’s more than twenty volunteer and intern chaplains.  He also supervises a clinical pastoral education training program affiliated with the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy (CPSP).  Ted is a liaison to nearby religious communities and partners with area congregations to provide compassionate support to neighbors in need.  He also is a clinical resource for bioethical and end-of-life dilemmas. In today’s episode Ted and I discuss: what a chaplain does in their everyday work life; using “reverent listening” to discover, understand and clarify what’s most important; making sense of complex and/or vague situations; defining hopes instead of outcomes; and how to maintain a sense of resiliency and calm when the world around you is chaotic and tumultuous.

Dr. Timothy Chase, NY cosmetic dentist, delivers a detailed overview of modern dentistry, oral health, and good home practices we can all benefit from. Dr. Chase has over 25 years of experience in cosmetic and restorative dental treatments. He specializes in natural tooth preservation and oral health. He is celebrated for his unique ability to provide dental work that looks natural and organic, not overdone or clearly ‘worked on.' Dr. Chase's dental office, SmilesNY, has been featured in numerous magazines and on popular TV programs. At SmilesNY, Dr. Chase works with his patients to restore both the aesthetic appearance and functionality of their bright smiles. He provides a myriad of treatments, services, and procedures such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, smile makeovers, dental bonding and contouring, and the popular, Cosmalite. He is skilled in all types of restorative treatments including inlays and onlays, implants, bridges, dental fillings, metal-free porcelain crowns, and even full mouth restorations. Dr. Chase earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Boston University School of Dental Medicine, and he completed his general practice residency at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and the Veterans Administration Hospital. His innovative work has made him one of the top cosmetic dentists in New York. Dr. Chase discusses his practice and unique approach. He details the many ways that oral health is overall health, in that what happens in the mouth can impact the entire body. He stresses the importance of taking care of teeth and gums and making regular appointments for care. Specifically, he discusses the various diseases that can arise and the treatments and procedures that can be implemented to combat them. He states that bleeding gums, when we brush or floss, can be an indicator that something is going on, for it is not natural for bleeding to occur. Additionally, he says that sensitivity issues to cold, etc. are a possible indicator, and should be considered for further review. Odors and bad breath are also indicators that perhaps one should schedule an appointment right away, or simply increase the regularity of their appointment scheduling. The cosmetic dentist provides an overview of the technical aspects of reviewing teeth, specifically x-rays and a newer process called transillumination. A dental transillumination test can reveal problems in teeth that could be difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye or even with x-rays. Decay will appear in the image as cloudy shadows. Healthy tooth structure will appear lighter, because light shines through it more easily. A dental transillumination might also expose fine cracks within the teeth. He explains how some of the newer viewing options provide greater detail and more accurate information, whereas traditional x-rays may sometimes make it difficult to clearly tell whether something is a cavity or just a shadow. Dr. Chase discusses new scientific discoveries that show that bacteria in the mouth varies greatly between people, and how some bacteria is extremely more destructive than other bacteria. He details how some newer mouthwashes can directly impact the flora in the mouth and make it less destructive. He stresses the importance of using mouthwash that contains no alcohol because alcohol dries out the mouth, and can reduce saliva, which is a natural protector of the teeth. The dental expert answers questions about his particular approach to dentistry. He talks about increasing frequency of visits, and how the increase can help curb potential problems. Additionally, he discusses products such as electric toothbrushes and more advanced mouthwashes. He underscores the importance of brushing for at least two minutes, which may seem like a long time but it is necessary for thorough cleaning. The benefits of electric toothbrushes are many, but some of the top points he discusses are: thoroughness of cleaning and proper time allotment. Dr. Chase points out that electric toothbrushes tend to give their users a better cleaning overall, and some of the models have timers that allow the user to know when it is time to move on to another section of the teeth. Further, he talks about teeth whitening and the products that have been proven to be safe, as well as those products that are questionable in regard to safety. Dr. Chase served as a clinical instructor at New York University Dental School where he was responsible for the training of undergraduate dental students, as well as doctors from many countries around the world, on the current techniques in restorative dentistry. Dr. Chase is a faculty mentor at Spear Advanced Dental Education Center in Scottsdale, AZ. He is a proud member of The American Dental Society, The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists, The Academy of General Dentistry, and The Spear Faculty Club.

Listen NowAs a follow up to my April 1st conversation with Jim Gera concerning bundled payments, during this podcast Dr. Richard Morel discusses Medicare's other major payment reform program, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), or WESTMED Medical Group's three year experience as a Track 1 ACO.   The Medicare ACO program is a creation of the 2010 Accountable Care Act and participation in the program began in 2012.   Currently, there are 434 ACOs (over 90 percent participating in the "no risk" Track 1) caring for approximately 7.5 million Medicare beneficiaries.  The program to date has been a mixed success.  After two performance years (2013 and 2014) only 25 percent of participants have been successful, i.e., have earned shared savings.  (Performance year three or 2015 performance will be made known this September.)  CMS is currently in the process of revising how the agency calculates an ACO's reset financial benchmark.  It is anticipated these changes will improve program performance, or improve both provider interest in participating (or continuing to participate) in the program and participant success in earning shared savings.   During this 21-minute conversation Dr. Morel provides an overview of WESTMED, explains the organization's interest in becoming a Medicare Shared Savings Program or ACO participant in 2013, WESTMED's experience under their first three year agreement, what explained their success, challenges they've found with the program, how the program could be improved and their expectations now as a second agreement period Track 1 ACO.Dr. Richard Morel is the Co-Medical Director of WESTMED Medical Group in Yonkers, New York.  Prior to joining WESTMED in 2008 Dr. Morel was in private practice affiliated with Columbia-Presbyterian Riverdale Hospital for 12 years.  Dr. Morel is board certified in internal medicine.  He received his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, did his postgraduate training at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and  received his masters of medical management from Carnegie Mellon.  He is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the American College of Physician Executives.  For information regarding WESTMED go to: http://www.westmedgroup.com/.

Listen NowMuch of the health care industry's effort to improve health care payment and delivery centers around improving primary care. This is largely because Americans suffer more disease/disease burden throughout their life spans compared to individuals in other industrialized countries.   This therefore makes obvious sense since primary care is the foundation upon which an effective and efficient health care/medical care program is built.  When done well primary care promotes wellness, prevents disease onset, progression, exacerbation and prevents premature death.  Primary care also moderates the need for higher cost specialty care and improves population health.  For numerous reasons, not least of which is inadequate reimbursement, primary care delivery has been sub-optimal.   New models of primary care are emerging, one termed direct primary care (noted in the ACA under Section 1301 (A) (3) and now recognized in 13 states) is showing promise in improving quality, improving patient satisfaction and lowering cost growth.      During this 21 minute conversation Dr. Judge discusses moreover the impetus for the creation of Iora Healh, how Iora's primary care delivery model works or how it is different from traditional primary care delivery, how Iora's model is staffed, IT supported and reimbursed, with whom and how it contracts and what Iora's performance data demonstrates to date. Dr. David Judge serves as Iora Health's Chief Medical Officer.  Dr. Judge joined Iora in 2014 to continue his work in improving and redesigning of primary care.  Priorto , he helped found and was the Medical Director of the Ambulatory Practice of the Future at Mass. General Hospital.  David received his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and public health studies at Brown University and attended University of  Mass. Medical School.  He completed his residency training in internal medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. For more on Iora Health go to: http://www.iorahealth.com/ This is a public episode.
