Marriage can be tough work. Pressure from jobs, kids, and finances makes it easy to put our relationship on the back burner. Once our marriage gets put on the back burner, it starts to deteriorate because marriages are alive and require constant attention. In this new episode on the Dr. Wyatt Marriage Podcast, I discuss the top 8 pain points married couples face. As you listen, discern which pain points you're experiencing the most right now and why. 

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showThere is a lot of confusion in the magnesium space. Which form is better? What is all of this elemental magnesium talk? Here's the scoop, claims that magnesium oxide is better are based on misinterpreted comparisons, typically magnesium oxide vs magnesium citrate, and/or on something called elemental magnesium content, rather than true bioavailability. And here's a hint, when you evaluate magnesium types using mineral physiology principles and broader magnesium literature, these claims are not supported. ------CitationsSchuette et al., 1994 Bioavailability of magnesium diglycinate vs magnesium oxide Demonstrated alternative absorption mechanisms for chelated magnesium.Coudray et al., 2005 Comparative absorption of different magnesium salts using stable isotopes Showed differences in absorption and retention across magnesium forms, salt only comparison.Schuchardt & Hahn, 2017 Intestinal absorption and factors influencing magnesium bioavailability Comprehensive review of Mg transport mechanisms (TRPM6/7, passive vs active).Werner et al., 2019 Magnesium citrate vs oxide bioavailabilityNational Research Council (NRC), Nutrient Requirements of Horses Documents magnesium metabolism and absorption sites in horses.

The forthcoming winter storm is poised to impact the Southern Appalachians, Carolinas, and the southern Mid Atlantic from Friday through Sunday, as highlighted by the Weather Prediction Center, which emphasizes the potential for heavy snowfall and perilous cold conditions. As the storm's trajectory becomes clearer, the Winter Storm Severity Index indicates increasing moderate impacts across the Southeast and Mid Atlantic regions, necessitating vigilance from maritime interests. Various National Weather Service offices have issued winter storm watches, particularly for areas in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia, where significant snowfall and hazardous wind chills are anticipated. Additionally, FEMA is actively supporting Louisiana's state-led response to recent severe winter conditions by mobilizing essential resources. As we delve into this episode, we underscore the importance of preparedness and safety amidst these inclement weather developments.Takeaways:* A significant winter storm is forecasted to impact the Southern Appalachians and Carolinas from Friday through Sunday, prompting heavy snowfall and dangerous cold conditions.* The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches for multiple states, indicating potential hazardous weather conditions on the roads this weekend.* Emergency management agencies are coordinating responses to severe winter weather, providing essential supplies such as generators, food, and medical support to affected regions.* Forecasters express increased confidence in significant snowfall and subzero wind chills throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions this weekend.* It is imperative for federal, state, and local partners to verify the remediation status of newly identified vulnerabilities to ensure cybersecurity preparedness.* As temperatures plummet, citizens are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard against extreme cold and hazardous travel conditions.Sources[WPC | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS WSSI | https://www.weather.gov/wssi/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/][CISA KEV (added Jan. 27) | https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog][NWS Atlanta/Peachtree City | https://www.weather.gov/ffc/][NWS Atlanta Hazardous Weather Outlook | https://www.weather.gov/ffc/hwo][FEMA press release | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20260129/fema-and-federal-partners-supporting-louisianas-state-led-response-severe][NWS Raleigh homepage | https://www.weather.gov/rah][NWS Raleigh text products — WSW/NPW updates | https://www.weather.gov/rah/textproducts][NWS Bismarck Winter Briefing Page | https://www.weather.gov/bis/ND_winter_page][NWS Greenville-Spartanburg | https://www.weather.gov/gsp/][NWS Morristown WWA text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=MRX&wwa=winter+storm+watch][NWS Wakefield Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/akq/brief][NWS Morristown WWA text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=MRX&wwa=winter+storm+watch][NWS Charleston WV Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/rlx/briefing] This is a public episode.

Many people begin their financial lives confidently handling everything on their own. They set up retirement accounts, save diligently, and make decisions that feel reasonable at the time. But as life evolves, that confidence can quietly erode. In this episode, we speak directly to the do-it-yourself investor who has started to wonder whether going it alone still makes sense. We unpack the most common reasons people resist working with an advisor, from concerns about fees and loss of control to confusion about what financial advisors actually do. We also share what typically triggers the shift from DIY to professional help, often a late-night moment of uncertainty sparked by taxes, retirement timing, or growing complexity. This conversation offers a candid look behind the curtain of comprehensive financial planning. It explores what advisory fees really buy, how proactive planning reduces costly mistakes, and why time, interest, and expertise eventually fall out of balance for many successful professionals. The goal is not to push a decision, but to help listeners decide when and if partnering with an advisor could add meaningful value to their financial lives. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Who this episode is for and why DIY investors start asking bigger questions [02:00] Why many people prefer to manage their finances alone [05:00] The common misconceptions about financial advisors and fees [07:00] The questions that prompt people to seek professional advice [12:00] What a financial advisor fee actually pays for [18:00] How complexity, risk, and missed opportunities compound over time Why many investors choose to do it themselves For many people, managing finances alone feels simpler. Setting contributions on autopilot and avoiding difficult decisions can be comforting, especially early on when life and finances are relatively straightforward. Cost concerns also play a major role, as do-it-yourself investors often question whether advisory fees are worth paying. Control is another powerful factor. Turning over financial decisions to someone else can feel uncomfortable, even when things are no longer as simple as they once were. Add in confusion about the financial services industry and fear of being judged for past decisions, and it becomes clear why many people delay seeking help, even when doubts begin to surface. The questions that push people to seek an advisor Most people don't wake up one day and decide to hire a financial advisor without a reason. It usually starts with a specific question they no longer feel confident answering. Am I truly able to retire when I think I can? Am I saving enough for college without sacrificing my own future? Why do my taxes feel higher every year? Other common triggers include managing company stock compensation, holding too much cash without a clear plan, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the growing complexity of life. As careers advance, families grow, and assets accumulate, the margin for error narrows and the cost of mistakes increases. What comprehensive financial planning actually includes A key theme in this episode is that financial planning goes far beyond investment management. Comprehensive planning helps turn vague goals into concrete decisions, supported by realistic projections and scenario analysis. It brings clarity to tax planning throughout the year, not just at filing time, and helps diversify not only investments but tax exposure as well. The hosts also discuss personalized investment strategies, behavioral coaching during market volatility, and identifying opportunities that can be missed without an objective third party. Risk management, from insurance coverage to concentrated stock positions, and estate planning round out the picture, ensuring that plans hold up not just today, but across decades and generations. Deciding if the fee is an investment, not just a cost Ultimately, the decision to work with an advisor is deeply personal. The team emphasizes that it's not about finding the lowest fee, but about understanding the value provided. For many, advisory fees represent an investment in better decisions, reduced risk, and greater confidence over time. As financial lives grow more complex, the question often becomes less about whether someone can manage everything themselves and more about whether they still want to. This episode offers a framework for evaluating that decision thoughtfully, with clarity and intention ***********

Key Topics Covered: 1. Why the Family Wealth Fortress, Why Now Inheritance tax on pensions from April 2027 is forcing families to rethink legacy planning. “High net worth” is now effectively £1m plus once pensions are included, meaning far more families are exposed. Many people have a patchwork of advice and products that is hard to coordinate, hard to optimise, and hard for executors to manage. 2. From Patchwork Quilt to Fortress Thinking The goal is to make wealth transfer elegant, organised, and resilient for the next generation. Kevin frames this as moving from wealth abundance into legacy, with a clear process rather than “hinting” at legacy planning. WealthBuilders positions itself as the central coordinator, like a “wealth GP”, bringing specialists in when needed. 3. The Seven Integrations (The Fortress Framework) Tax: proactive “event led” planning, especially inheritance tax, not just annual returns. Legal: wills, powers of attorney, protection, and avoiding disputes such as contentious probate. Financial: building wealth is not enough, families need planning for protection and perpetuation too. Structures: holding companies, family investment companies, trusts, share classes, and intergenerational planning. SSAS and pensions: using family pension structures, earmarking, and cascading to reduce future inheritance tax impact. Recurring income: inheritance tax is on capital not income, so understanding income enables smarter gifting. Legacy: involving the next generation early through trusteeship, shareholding, and participation in the family plan. 4. Record Keeping, Gifting, and the Digital Vault Families need clear documentation to avoid confusion, delays, and challenges after death. Kevin highlights using intention and execution records (for example IHT documentation) to reduce HMRC risk. A digital vault brings tax, legal, financial, structures, and gifting records into one accessible place for executors. 5. Who It's For and How to Take the First Step This is application based, limited capacity, and aimed at families typically 55 plus with estates around £1m plus. It is designed to be implemented over 3 to 5 years, still broken down into manageable steps. A practical first move is using the free inheritance tax calculator to understand your current exposure.   Actionable Takeaways: Don't assume your current advice is joined up, check how tax, legal, financial and structures connect. Start planning for inheritance tax now, especially with pensions being included from April 2027. Move from reactive planning to proactive “event led” planning for key life events. Get your documentation organised and accessible, so executors are not left guessing. Involve the next generation earlier, so wealth transfer includes wisdom, not just money. Take the first step by using the IHT calculator and booking a conversation if the fortress approach fits your situation.   Resources & Next Steps: WealthBuilders 'The Family Wealth Fortress' Download our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax Guide WealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and community   Connect with Us: Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.   Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:   Join the WealthBuilders Facebook Community Schedule a 1:1 call with one of our team Become a member of WealthBuilders If you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

We're breaking into our regular schedule with urgent news that affects everyone in the ketamine therapy space, not just Texas providers.On January 2, 2026, the Texas Medical Board published proposed regulations in the Texas Register that could fundamentally change how ketamine therapy is delivered in the state. These would be the first comprehensive regulatory rules specifically for ketamine therapy clinics in Texas, and honestly, they could set a precedent for nationwide regulation.Why should you care if you're not in Texas? Because Texas is the second most populous state with one of the largest medical communities in the country. When Texas moves on healthcare regulation, other states often follow.These proposed rules cover mandatory clinic registration, onsite physician requirements, enhanced monitoring standards, a complete ban on take home parenteral ketamine, and enforcement mechanisms that would put ketamine clinics under the same scrutiny as pain management clinics.What You'll Learn:

(Re-Release – Companion Episode) If you've listened to our recent update on Stop the Killing and want a clear, detailed reminder of what actually happened in Uvalde, this episode is for you. In this companion re-release, former FBI executive and use-of-force expert Katherine Schweit walks listeners through the full factual timeline of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas — drawing directly from the U.S. Department of Justice's extensive Critical Incident Review. Rather than headlines or speculation, this episode breaks down: What law enforcement knew — and when How an active shooter was repeatedly misclassified as a barricaded subject The complete 77-minute delay between first police entry and the shooter being stopped The absence of command and control, despite dozens of officers on scene Why training, leadership, and communication failures compounded minute by minute How misinformation spread among responders, families, and medical teams What the DOJ identified as systemic breakdowns, not individual hindsight errors This episode also explains — in plain language — the critical difference between: Active shooter response (immediate engagement to stop the killing), and Barricaded subject protocols (containment and negotiation) A distinction that mattered enormously — and tragically — in Uvalde. For listeners following the current conversation and updates, this episode provides the essential context needed to understand: Why Uvalde remains a case study in what must never happen again How failures in leadership and coordination can override training What lessons the DOJ says must be learned to prevent future loss of life This is not an opinion piece.It is a fact-driven reconstruction, based on hundreds of pages of official findings, and presented to ensure the truth is understood — not forgotten. Stop the Killing examines critical incidents involving deadly force through the lens of experience, evidence, and accountability. Hosted by journalist Sarah Ferris and former FBI executive Katherine Schweit, the podcast focuses on what actually happened, why it matters, and how future tragedies can be prevented.

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back.     What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway Time isn't speeding up — your brain is compressing it.

In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Rahi Victory, a Canadian-trained OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinology specialist who is truly revolutionizing fertility care. Dr. Victory has built a practice that stands apart from traditional fertility clinics through its unwavering commitment to transparency, honesty, and patient-centered care. His approach treats patients as individuals with unique journeys rather than putting them through cookie-cutter protocols, and he serves international patients from across the globe. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Throughout our conversation, Dr. Victory and I dive deep into what it really means to make your fertility journey YOUR priority, not your doctor's. We explore his comprehensive approach to patient care: from the initial deep-dive consultation that examines everything from medical history to lifestyle factors, to his philosophy on extensive testing that leaves no stone unturned. Dr. Victory shares his belief that infertility represents a loss of control for patients, and his mission is to restore that control by educating them thoroughly and empowering them to make informed decisions about their own care. In this episode, we cover: • Dr. Victory's holistic approach to initial patient consultations, including psychological, emotional, and lifestyle assessments • Comprehensive testing protocols for both male and female patients, including DNA fragmentation testing and natural cycle monitoring • The importance of transparent communication when delivering test results and educating patients about their diagnosis • How to counsel patients about ALL their options (from doing nothing to surgery to IVF) without pushing a particular treatment • The three components of fertility treatment success: the passage, the passenger, and the destination • What to do when treatment doesn't work and how to investigate every possible factor • How to find a physician who aligns their priorities with yours and advocates for you throughout your journey Dr. Victory's practice: www.drvictory.com Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

His innovative technology, capable of analyzing dozens of biomarkers from a single drop of blood, was tested aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In today's episode, Eugene shared the remarkable journey of rHEALTH, from competing with top companies for a NASA partnership to launching its device into space.What sets rHEALTH apart is its proven reliability in extreme conditions, including the zero-gravity environment of space. Eugene explained, “We tested this technology on the International Space Station with astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who operated the device and obtained precise values from single drops of sample. They did the analysis using our device and got absolutely the right answers.” This achievement underlines the robustness and accuracy of rHEALTH's technology, qualities that distinguish it from other attempts at single-drop blood diagnostics.Unlike Theranos, which famously failed to deliver on similar promises, rHEALTH's technology has been rigorously vetted. Eugene highlighted the grueling process of earning NASA's trust. “To be the one company selected to demonstrate our novel technology on the ISS was a huge undertaking,” he said. He recounted the intense competition and NASA's exacting standards, which included testing the device's functionality during zero-gravity parabolic flights.Now, Eugene and his team are bringing this groundbreaking technology to the public with a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. “You don't have to be a Silicon Valley elite or a Boston venture capitalist to participate,” I noted during the episode. With this campaign, everyday investors have the opportunity to support a proven technology poised to revolutionize healthcare.The implications of rHEALTH's success are profound. If it works in space, it can work in remote clinics, underserved communities, and even in people's homes. This technology has the potential to make diagnostics more accessible, empowering individuals to take control of their health.Eugene's vision, combined with rHEALTH's proven track record, makes this an exciting investment opportunity. Visit StartEngine to learn more and become part of this revolutionary journey.tl;dr:Eugene Chan shared how rHEALTH's diagnostic technology was tested and proven aboard the International Space Station.He explained the rigorous process of competing with other companies to secure NASA's trust.rHEALTH's crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine makes investing in this revolutionary technology accessible to all.Eugene highlighted the importance of his North Star: improving human health with innovative solutions.He shared advice on maintaining focus and using challenges as opportunities to achieve big goals.How to Develop Staying Focused on a North Star As a SuperpowerEugene's superpower is his ability to maintain a relentless focus on his “North Star”—the overarching goal of improving human health. As he explained, “The North Star has always been to improve the human condition and help us improve human health.” For Eugene, this guiding principle has driven his work through challenges, from competing for NASA's attention to developing groundbreaking diagnostic technology.One illustrative story of this superpower came during a pivotal moment in Eugene's career. While competing in the XPRIZE competition, he found himself grappling with a flawed prototype. It was during this time, sitting at his wife's bedside after the birth of their child, that the concept for rHEALTH's current device was born. Combining the pressure of the competition, the inspiration of his newborn daughter, and his unwavering focus on creating a robust solution, Eugene developed the technology that would later achieve success in space.Eugene also shared actionable tips for developing this superpower:Identify your personal North Star—a goal or mission that deeply resonates with you.Let that North Star guide your decisions, especially during challenging times.Stay committed to your mission, even when facing setbacks or obstacles.Use external pressures, like deadlines or competitions, to fuel innovation and progress.By following Eugene's example and advice, you can make staying focused on a North Star a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileEugene Chan (he/him):CEO, Founder, rHEALTHAbout rHEALTH: rHEALTH has worked with NASA to develop a miniaturized diagnostic test system to keep astronauts healthy on the way to Mars.

In today's episode, we are diving into the world of sports, but we aren't talking about loud personalities or flashy headlines. Instead, we're looking at Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a pitcher who redefined success through quiet persistence. Yamamoto wasn't the tallest or the most physically imposing player on the field.

Learn about sudden cardiac death in athletes, including screening, return-to-play, misconceptions, and insights for athletic trainers. Q: What is one key takeaway for athletic trainers regarding sudden cardiac death? A: It is crucial for athletic trainers to utilize available screening tools. When an athlete provides positive answers during screening, it’s essential to follow up thoroughly to ensure appropriate medical evaluation occurs. This approach helps identify potential cardiac issues early. Q: What are the clearance and return-to-play criteria for athletes diagnosed with or being treated for a heart condition? A: Clearance and return-to-play criteria vary based on the individual patient and the specific cardiomyopathy and its severity. While many athletes may face sport restrictions, some cases allow for participation if evaluations are thorough. Each situation requires careful consideration, as there is no universal “cookbook” approach. Q: What are the most common misconceptions about sudden cardiac death in athletes? A: A common misconception stems from fear regarding athletes collapsing on the court. It’s important to understand that it’s impossible to guarantee 100% prevention. Comprehensive workups are necessary to identify rare factors contributing to sudden cardiac death, as some issues might not always be immediately apparent. Q: What are the updated incidence values and trends in male and Black athletes regarding sudden cardiac death, and what explains these patterns? A: Multiple factors contribute to these patterns, including genetics and predisposing health conditions. Socioeconomic status, affecting access to healthcare providers and cardiologists, also plays a significant role. Often, primary care physicians manage a large population due to limited access to specialists, and missed family screenings for cardiomyopathy can impact these variables. Q: What are the barriers when younger athletes are unable to explain what is happening to them? A: Effective communication with younger athletes is key. Teenagers, for instance, may be reluctant to express their symptoms clearly in a clinic setting, especially if they fear being told they cannot play. Instead of general questions like “Have you experienced chest pain?”, ask specific questions about the type of pain (e.g., sharp, moving). It is also the healthcare provider’s responsibility to perform thorough exams and order proper tests, such as EKGs or ultrasounds, to avoid missing critical information. Q: Is there a commonly overlooked response when screening athletes? A: A significant red flag is when athletes, for various reasons, fill out screening forms themselves and then change their answers, or when forms are left blank or show erasures. Following up with specific questions about why they changed or erased an answer, and providing education, is crucial. Q: What inspired you to focus on sudden cardiac death in athletes? A: My personal experience as an athlete growing up in a small Texas town, where sports were integral, profoundly shaped my life, teaching me multitasking, leadership, and competitiveness. As a mother with multiple children involved in competitive sports, I understand the physical and mental benefits. My inspiration stems from wanting to ensure their safe participation. Q: What ethical dilemmas arise when individuals refuse genetic testing? A: When requesting genetic testing, it’s vital to explain to families why the test is necessary and how it can help. Many are more receptive when they understand it’s a narrow test, not a full genetic profile, and how it can benefit their children. Ultimately, respect their decision and use available information to provide the best care without undue pressure. Q: Is there anything else athletic trainers should know about sudden cardiac death? A: I am highly impressed by the athletic training field, particularly athletic trainers’ knowledge, dedication to children, and proficiency in CPR and AED use. While physicians have the support of nurses and other healthcare professionals, athletic trainers often perform life-saving interventions on the field independently, which is truly commendable. Q: What management or monitoring strategies are suggested for children removed from sports due to cardiac conditions? A: Be mindful of athletes who are removed from sports, as they may feel a sense of loss after being part of a team. If time permits, maintain contact and explore new ways to keep them involved, possibly in a different role within the team or organization. Collaborate with other team members to help the athlete transition and remain connected.

What does comprehensive treatment planning look like, and how can specialists and general dentists design it together? In this episode, Dr. Grant Stucki sits down with Florida general dentist and educator Dr. Vic Martel to unpack the ins and outs of comprehensive treatment planning. Dr. Martel explains why many dentists were never taught comprehensive planning in dental school, how this leads to a reactive mindset, and why slowing down to assess occlusion, periodontal health, joints, and restorative needs as a whole improves outcomes for patients and practices. Together, they explore real-world barriers and practical solutions to comprehensive treatment planning and the importance of surgeon-led education and interdisciplinary planning. Dr. Martel shares how he runs new-patient exams and builds trust with patients while coordinating with specialists. He also explains how investing in your referral network can help a practice grow and how a thoughtful, comprehensive treatment plan makes life easier for everyone on the team.
