The amazing people we talked to in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom during the 40th anniversary of LMT Lab Day Chicago just keep coming and this week we have a stellar line up. First up is Eric Kukucka. Eric came on the podcast years ago to talk about his multiple denturist practices in Canada. But he has since sold them and has joined the Aspen Dental (https://www.aspendental.com/) group as their Vice President of Clinical Removable Prosthetics & Design Technologies. Eric talks about going from making dentures for hundreds of patients to working with a team to produce quality dentures for millions. Then we chat with Chelsea Homire, who has years of dental assistant experience, but when given the oppritunity to learn the in-office lab work, she took off. With a passion for printing, Chelsea is now teaching other offices (and even a few labs) how they can optimize their digital workflow. We wrap up the episode with Brittany Mitchell. You might know her becuase she designed (and made the denture) on our "Just Say No to Brushing" shirt, but she's also a talented removable technician. Brittany talks about starting in at the front desk, drawing a picture that got notices and placed in the lab, falling in love with it, and making digital dentures for a 12 doctor dental group. Don't miss this incredible webinar with Tanya Little, a dentist from beautiful Vancouver, Canada. We would like to invite you to a special webinar that she's hosting with Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) and LMT (https://lmtmag.com/) on Wednesday, May 7th, titled "Reflections from a Denturist: 20 Years of Crafting Dentures!". In this program, she will review the incredible history of removables with Ivoclar and focus on the new and exciting evolution based print resin and of course, the PM7.

Burnout is affecting everyone in farm credit, from individual contributors and managers to senior leaders. The recent FCCS Employee Engagement survey revealed that while everyone is feeling burnout, the why behind burnout varies based on each individual association This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS VP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton and FCCS Organizational Development Consultant Angie Coleman unpack the data from this survey, define what burnout looks like across different roles, and explore what organizations can do to combat burnout, improve employee wellbeing, and drive engagement.    Episode Insights Include: The FCCS Employee Engagement survey  The survey highlights trends by region and size.  The survey will be conducted annually.  2024 survey findings included a national and global decrease in employee engagement and an increase in management satisfaction.  Burnout is continuing to increase, despite distance from the pandemic.    Burnout at every employment level Middle management is most negatively affected by burnout.  Senior leaders feel burnout the least, possibly because of their level of control, but also because they understand the ‘why' behind change.  Communications breakdown is a major player behind burnout.  Leaders rarely overcommunicate with their teams.  There is no clear correlation between burnout and company size, region, weather, or challenges.   The manifestation of burnout Middle managers are carrying the heaviest emotional load as they support both upper management and individual employees.  Burnout needs to be addressed from an emotional labor standpoint as well as a task-oriented perspective.  Leaders can ask themselves what specifically they are worrying about with their teams. If everything is a crisis, then employees can't get excited about anything.    A customized approach to burnout The why behind burnout shows that a generalized approach to combatting burnout will not be effective.  Customized training, targeted strategies and one-on-one meetings are essential to productive change.  Managers can note specific employee concerns and address then at each one-on-one meeting.    Successful burnout combat strategies Communicate survey results to the entire employee population at the same time in the same way.  Set clear bullet points for leaders to address in one-on-ones and team meetings to enhance purpose behind communication.  Consider if you are taking things off employees plates as often as you are putting things on.  Leaders can use the findings from the surveys to connect with managers and employees about specific questions in one-on-one meetings.    This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources Connect with Angie Coleman — Angie Coleman   Get in touch info@fccsconsulting.com   “If you [as a leader] feel like you're tired of communicating, you're probably just scratching the surface on what your employees need in terms of their level of communication.” — Angie Coleman   “While everyone is feeling burnout, the why is completely up to the individual association and what's happening in that space.” — Angie Coleman   “It's helpful not to just approach burnout from a task-oriented perspective, but also recognizing how we can be supportive of that from an emotional labor standpoint.” — Angie Coleman   “If everything is a crisis, then really nothing is.” — Angie Coleman “It is critical for leaders to ask the right questions so they can meet employees where they are.” — Angie Coleman

Discover how her company's innovative technology connects advertisers and publishers and gain insights into the programmatic SSP platform, all while understanding the dynamics between buy-side and sell-side players.

Episode 186: Exercise PrescriptionsDr. Sandhu and future Dr. Daoud explain the way to prescribe exercise, what are the general guidelines for exercise and how to overcome barriers to exercise. Dr. Arreaza emphasized the importance to screen our patients before exercise and using the term “physical activity” to improve receptivity by patients.  Written by Wessam Daoud, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Ranbir Sandhu, MD, and Hector Arreaza, MD.  You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Arreaza: I'm Dr. Arreaza, and today, we will talk about a topic that is both simple and powerful: exercise. Previous episodes: 158, 100 (sexercise), 95, We all know exercise is good for us, but how do we prescribe it like we do medications? How can we tailor exercise recommendations to our patients' needs and lifestyles? To help us unpack this, I'm joined today by Dr. Ranbir Sandhu, and Medical Student, Wessam Daoud, who has a passion for preventive medicine. Welcome to the show!Ranbir: Thanks, Dr. Arreaza! We're excited to be here and to discuss something so fundamental to health.Segment 1: Understanding Exercise PrescriptionArreaza: Let's start with the basics. In medicine, we prescribe medications with precise instructions—dosage, frequency, duration. But how do we apply this concept to exercise?Ranbir: Great question! Before we prescribe exercise, we have to make sure that it is not contraindicated. We can use a system to stratify our patients based on risk factors, such as older age, smoking, baseline level of activity, etc. For example, a patient who had a heart attack within the last 6 weeks should not exercise yet, a person with heart failure exacerbation, asthma exacerbation, uncontrolled heart arrhythmia, etc. Wes: Exercise prescription follows a structured approach, similar to medications. We use the FITTE mnemonics to guide recommendations: Frequency – How often?Intensity – How hard should the patient work?Time – How long should each session last?Type – What kind of exercise is best?Enjoyment – Does the patient enjoy this activity?By adjusting these components, we can tailor exercise to each patient's needs, whether it's improving cardiovascular health, managing chronic disease, or building strength.Segment 2: How Much Exercise Do Adults Need?Arreaza: Now, when we talk about exercise, there's a lot of conflicting advice out there. What do the official guidelines say about how much adults should exercise?Ranbir: The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and CDC provide clear guidelines:Aerobic Exercise: At least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, OR 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise (or a mix of both).Muscle Strengthening: At least two days per week of resistance training targeting major muscle groups.Balance & Flexibility: Particularly important for older adults to reduce fall risk.These guidelines are adaptable, meaning patients can break them into shorter sessions throughout the week.Arreaza: For weight regain, you may need to exercise a little bit more, about 300 minutes/week, and >2 days of resistance activity.Segment 3: Choosing the Right Type of ExerciseArreaza: With so many options—cardio, strength training, yoga—how do you guide patients in choosing the right type of exercise for them?Wes: It depends on the patient's goals, health conditions, and personal preferences. Here's how we might break it down:For cardiovascular health: Activities like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming.For strength and bone health: Resistance exercises, bodyweight exercises, or weightlifting.Ranbir: For flexibility and balance: Yoga, Pilates, or tai chi, especially for older adults.For chronic disease management: Customized plans—e.g., low-impact options for arthritis or supervised exercise for heart disease.The key is finding something they enjoy, because sustainability is the most important factor.Arreaza: We can use our physical therapy friends to design an appropriate plan for our patients.Segment 4: Overcoming Common Barriers to ExerciseArreaza: I hear this all the time in the clinic—patients want to exercise but struggle to stay consistent. What are the biggest barriers, and how do we help patients overcome those barriers?Wes: Absolutely. Some common barriers include:Lack of time: Patients think they need hours at the gym, but even short bouts of 10 minutes throughout the day add up.Low motivation: Encouraging goal setting and accountability, such as a workout buddy or an activity tracker, helps.Arreaza: Instagram post from Ranbir: Go to the gym even if you don't want to go. Wes: Pain or chronic illness: We can adapt exercises—low-impact options like swimming or chair exercises work well.No access to a gym: Many exercises require no equipment—walking, stair climbing, bodyweight exercises.Ranbir: As physicians, we need to normalize movement as part of daily life rather than an all-or-nothing approach.Segment 5: The Role of Healthcare Providers in Exercise CounselingArreaza: We often focus on medications and procedures, but exercise is one of the best treatments we have. What role should physicians play in promoting physical activity?Ranbir: Our role is critical! Exercise is preventive medicine and can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and even depression. As physicians, we can:-Ask about exercise levels at routine visits.-Provide specific, personalized exercise prescriptions rather than just saying 'you should exercise more.'-Address patient concerns by modifying recommendations to their abilities.-Follow up and reinforce progress like we would with any other treatment.-Even a brief conversation about physical activity can significantly impact patient motivation and adherence.Arreaza: Exercise vs physical activity. Ask your patients as a routine. Closing Thoughts & Call to ActionArreaza: Ranbir andWessam, this has been a fantastic discussion. Any final thoughts for our listeners?Ranbir: My biggest takeaway is that any movement is better than none. Exercise doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to be consistent. Start small, find an activity you enjoy, and build from there!Arreaza: Any take-home message, Wes?Wes: Same for me, find an activity you enjoy, start where you are, and keep moving!Arreaza: Great advice! If you found this episode helpful, share it with your colleagues and patients. Ranbir: Until next time—stay active and stay healthy!Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda Moldovan speaks with Dr. Toni Engram about her innovative approach to cavity prevention and treatment. Dr. Engram shares how her personal journey with Crohn's disease led her to practice biological dentistry, focusing on whole-body health rather than just treating teeth. Dr. Engram explains the science behind her 90-day Cavity Cure Accelerator program, which takes a comprehensive approach to treating tooth decay by addressing the root causes. She details how she uses saliva testing to identify harmful bacteria, measures pH levels, and creates personalized protocols to restore oral microbiome balance. Dr. Engram emphasizes the importance of nutrition, particularly healthy fats, for dental health and explains why merely drilling and filling cavities without addressing the underlying issues often leads to recurring problems. Both doctors discuss their concerns about fluoride exposure and share their preferences for natural alternatives like hydroxyapatite and xylitol. Dr. Engram provides practical home care advice, including natural mouthwash alternatives and supplement recommendations. She highlights the connection between gut health and oral health, explaining why treating one without the other is often ineffective. The episode concludes with Dr. Engram's encouraging message that most people can heal their mouths and are not destined to have “bad teeth.” Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show?

Olivier Visa, President and CEO of Evergen specializes in developing and manufacturing biomaterials for use in regenerative medicine. These customized biomaterial solutions use xenografts, allografts, and emerging technologies inside and outside the body with applications in wound healing, cardiac, dental, breast, neuro, and spine repair. This approach provides surgeons with a broader range of biomaterials to better tailor treatments for individual patients. Olivier explains, "There is a multitude that we can support. There is form and function, and I can give you a couple of examples of biomaterials in regenerative medicine. One is bovine pericardium, which is bovine collagen that we use for the development and manufacturing of cardiac heart valves. Another one would be acellular dermal matrix from human tissue that we use for reconstruction in plastic and, of course, with surgeries such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy." "Think about the body as a whole, and I'll give you a couple of examples where- when you're in cardiac - whether it's a patch or a valve, we're inside the body. When we're in breast reconstruction, we are totally inside the body. When we're in the neuro spine, we're totally inside the body, whether you're repairing or restoring or regenerating peripheral nerves or dura around the brain, you're inside the body. And yes, you are right, wound management is part of it, whether it's diabetic food, ulcer, ulcer or some form of a burn, then I would say you're looking at the skin as an organ and repairing, restoring, and regenerating that skin." #Evergen #TissueEngineering #RegenerativeMedicine #CDMO #Biomaterials #Biotechnology #LifeSciences #MedicalDevices #SportsMedicine #Orthopedics #Surgeons evergenbio.com Listen to the podcast here

We're back with part two of The Case for Homeschooling! Today, I'm talking about three more reasons why homeschooling makes sense. First, if your kids grow up with a different worldview than you wanted, remember—you're the one who sent them to that school for 12 years. Second, you don't have to do it alone! You can team up with other parents and homeschool together. And third, homeschooling lets you customize learning to fit your child's strengths and interests instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all system. We're not done yet—two more episodes to go! Show Notes: [02:10]#4 Parents are responsible for their children's worldview. [14:13]#5 Partnering with other parents for homeschooling resources. [18:05]#6 Customized learning.

In this insightful episode, Albert Thompson, Managing Director, Digital Innovation at Walton Isaacson (https://www.waltonisaacson.com/), shares his forward-thinking take on where programmatic advertising is headed. He challenges the industry to rethink outdated processes, improve partnerships, and embrace smarter ways of working. Looking ahead to 2025, Albert highlights AI's potential to eliminate inefficiencies, spark creativity, and redefine how brands tell their stories and connect with audiences. Beyond technology, Albert dives into the importance of training—not just for newcomers, but for everyone. He emphasizes that staying curious and continuously learning is the key to staying relevant in a fast-changing, AI-driven world. He shares personal experiences and strategic insights on why companies should prioritize education at all levels to stay ahead of the curve. One of the most exciting parts of the discussion? Albert's take on "agentic AI"—a game-changing concept where AI-powered agents go beyond human capabilities to transform industries.
