50: Chapter 48. Dea ex Machina This episode is scripted by John Ruths and Newell Fisher. This is the only Chapter in WD written from a human perspective. The phrase "Deus ex Machina" means "the god in the machine" In a story, it signifies a highly unlikely event that resolves an issue, saves someone and provides a happy conclusion. However...this chapter is called DEA ex Machina, meaning the "Goddess in the Machine". When we read the beginning of the chapter and we see the name "Lucy", we know that she must be the "Dea ex Machina". The pre-chapter quote is from the poem, Fern Hill by Dylan Thomas. It is about an idyllic childhood spent on a farm. It is such a childhood that, arguably, saves Hazel. We begin with Lucy, the farm girl from Nuthanger.  It's early and she's just waking up.  When we hear about the possibility of a dog barking, we can link it to when the farm dog was alerted and broke away as he tore off after Dandelion.  Lucy hears a "sharp sound" and it's a squealing.  This gets Lucy up to see what the source of the sound is.  Thinking it's most likely a rat, Lucy sees that it's actually a rabbit! Lucy has a brief confrontation with Tab, one of the farm's resident cats.  She takes hold of the rabbit that we know to be our very own Hazel. Just as with the adults at the farm, it's interesting how Adams lays out how she speaks English, reflecting her Hampshire accent. Hazel in her arms, Lucy encounters her father.  He explains in his own way that to keep a wild rabbit in a hutch is a death sentence.  Her father also defends what the farm cat was doing; and in reality, he's quite right.  Her father asks Lucy to hand over Hazel.  We the reader know what this means. Lucy cries.  She knows her father is right but she's understandably upset.  Lucy wins out. She wants to show the rabbit to the visiting doctor.  Lucy goes upstairs, temporarily places Hazel in a drawer, gets some "cloze" on, and will soon meet the doctor.   The dog is back, spotted coming up the lane by the doctor, and we now know that it is a Black Labrador.  He's clearly been in a fight.  If nothing else, we know that General Woundwort did fight back, given the dog's leg bite and scratched nose.  We also learn, in passing, that the dog's name is Bob. The doctor, whose name interestingly is Adams, sees Lucy's mother first and thinks he'll have time to look at Hazel. Hazel is given an impromptu physical exam.  While Adams is a fan of providing us with multiple points of view, we don't get Hazel's thoughts at all. In this one chapter he is portrayed as humans see him: a dumb animal.  The doctor acknowledges his wounded leg which he received right there at the farm, a recent cat scratch, and reinforces for Lucy that this rabbit cannot live in a hutch.   The doctor makes an offer.  Lucy can go with him on his next house call and Hazel can be dropped off in a location along the way. Luckily for him, Hazel is dropped off on the single track road that lies to the west of WD, on the ridge between it and Hare Warren Down. The just dropped off Hazel seems to have gone temporarily tharn but comes to himself after about half a minute and quickly gets away.  As he departs, the doctor confirms his leg wound.  Of course, we readers already know this.  As Hazel is never named in this chapter, it simply confirms again who this rabbit is.   The doctor states "he could perfectly well live for years" and that seems quite hopeful.  This 'rabbit' has certainly earned this in our eyes. And it will prove to be the case so even the doctor's observation is foreshadowing in a good way. Funnily enough the chapter ends with the Doctor making a reference to the song "Born and Bred in a Briar Patch" from the 1946 Disney movie "Song of the South". And so our brief foray into the human world ends.

In this episode, glucose expert + bestselling author Jessie Inchauspé reveals the four key nutrients that shape your baby's brain, metabolism, and lifelong health, sharing essential science from her new book 9 Months That Count Forever: How Your Pregnancy Diet Shapes Your Baby's Future. But before the science, Jessie shares the deeply personal story of her silent miscarriage, the grief that followed, and the anxiety she carried into her next pregnancy. In a vulnerable conversation, she opens up about healing, navigating fear, and holding both grief + hope at the same time. Then we dive into the research: how your glucose levels influence your baby's metabolism, why 90% of moms are deficient in choline, and the surprising foods that support brain development and long-term health. If you're thinking about pregnancy—this episode is a must-listen. We also talk about: Jessie's experience with silent miscarriage + navigating pregnancy after loss Why 90% of pregnant women are deficient in choline (+ why it matters for brain development) The surprising connection between blood sugar spikes during pregnancy + your baby's future metabolic health Why the common belief that “the baby takes what it needs” isn't always true The four key nutrition pillars for pregnancy: choline, glucose balance, protein, and omega-3s How epigenetics during pregnancy can influence a child's health for life The myth of “eating for two” + what your baby actually needs nutritionally The emotional + physical realities of pregnancy anxiety after miscarriage What Jessie learned about protein intake + muscle development in babies Her experience with natural birth + preparing for labor Resources: Website: https://www.glucosegoddess.com/fr-fr/pages/9-months-that-count-forever Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glucosegoddess/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GlucoseRevolution Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/9-Months-That-Count-Forever/Jessie-Inchauspe/9781668219126  Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: BetterHelp | This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Open Instagram or YouTube and you'll find doctors selling you concierge protocols, peptide stacks, advanced biomarker testing, and biohacking devices — all promising to add years to your life. And the algorithm keeps pushing it because fear sells. But here's what nobody in the longevity space wants to admit: The research doesn't back any of that up as a foundation. The variables that consistently rise to the top in long-term population studies aren't the sexy ones. They're not the cold plunge, the red light panel, or the weekly labs. They're the fundamentals that are nearly impossible to monetize — and that's exactly why they don't go viral. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down:  • The five dominant drivers of biological aging most doctors ignore  • Why muscle mass is your most metabolically protective tissue  • How insulin resistance silently accelerates aging for decades before diagnosis  • The real reason chronic low-grade inflammation is destroying your vascular health  • Why social isolation may be the single greatest longevity risk factor of all  • A simple weekly formula that outperforms any longevity protocol on the market This episode isn't about tearing down the industry. It's about giving you the honest clinical picture — so you stop spending money on optimization before you've built a foundation worth optimizing.

Are your vitamins causing nerve pain? Discover the vitamins that worsen nerve pain and peripheral neuropathy, why certain nerve pain vitamins make matters worse, and what you can do to fix it.0:00 Introduction: Vitamins that worsen nerve pain0:12 Vitamin B6 1:59 Vitamin B12 4:17 Vitamin B1 deficiency and peripheral neuropathy4:35 Nerve pain vitamins 5:39 Alpha-lipoic acid for peripheral neuropathy6:41 Avoiding vitamins that worsen nerve pain Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07If it seems that your vitamins are making nerve pain worse, the solution might be simple. Vitamin B6 is vital in neurotransmission, but must be converted to its active form through the liver. Unconverted vitamin B6 can accumulate in the body and affect the nervous system if your liver is sluggish, if you don't have enough bile, or if you're low in glutathione. Inflammation, high blood sugar, and low magnesium can also inhibit your ability to make this conversion. Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is useless unless converted into the active form, methylcobalamin. Vitamin B1 is vital in supporting the mitochondria and the myelin sheath. Low vitamin B1 is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy. Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are water-soluble vitamins, so they can't easily penetrate the brain and myelin sheath. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath to help reverse peripheral neuropathy. Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help with peripheral neuropathy, support mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity. Key takeaways:1. Use the right forms of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B122. Don't go over 50 mg per day3. Ensure you have enough bile4. Consume fermented foods5. Make sure your insulin is balanced6. Don't forget about alpha-lipoic acidDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What if the dreams you thought were over were actually just waiting for the right moment to begin?In this episode, Dr. Kelly Kessler welcomes back Angela Fuller—competitive gymnast, American Ninja Warrior athlete, fitness instructor, and motivational speaker—whose story is a powerful example of resilience, reinvention, and pursuing bold dreams later in life.Angela's athletic journey began early. A Colorado native, she started gymnastics at age five, but a serious injury forced her to leave the sport at fourteen. Years later, a devastating car accident left her with a severe spinal injury, and during her second pregnancy she sustained additional disc damage that ultimately placed her on disability. Doctors told her she would never be an athlete again.For years, Angela believed that chapter of her life was closed.Everything changed when her best friend was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. That moment became a powerful wake-up call to stop waiting and start pursuing the dreams she once believed were impossible. Angela began rebuilding her health, teaching fitness classes, and rediscovering joy through movement. She returned to gymnastics after a 27-year break, joined a competitive adult team at age 41, and began training for American Ninja Warrior.Since then, Angela has continued to defy expectations. She competed on American Ninja Warrior Season 15, represented the United States at the Masters Gymnastics World Cup, and made history by completing the gymnastics Omnithon—competing across all 14 events in a single competition, becoming the oldest gymnast ever to accomplish the feat.Today Angela's mission is to show women—especially mothers—that their dreams don't expire with age. In this conversation, she shares how grief can transform into purpose, how to navigate guilt while pursuing your own goals as a parent, and why choosing faith over fear can open doors you never imagined possible.If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to reinvent yourself, this episode is a powerful reminder that some of the most meaningful chapters of life are still waiting to be written.Connect with Angela: https://linktr.ee/angela_fuller?fbclid=IwRlRTSAN_nkpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeMyp8op0c9N0yf9aKP5BReAEmnpkAAsm94IvBg7gPmGKP_hLUZyZ1_lkVb_U_aem_SnOgZfRXcU3rzqfDy2rt0wConnect with KellyIf this conversation resonated with you and you're ready to deepen your relationship with yourself, there are a few ways to continue the journey.

The new food pyramid was released earlier this year. It emphasizes protein, full-fat dairy and what Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls “healthy fats.” These guidelines influence the standards for  school lunches, food labeling and programs like SNAP. Today on the show, Short Wave co-host Emily Kwong chats with registered dietitian nutritionist Shana Spence, and Dr. Sarah Kim, a diabetes specialist, about the new guidelines. Plus, NPR's Reflect America fellow Kadin Mills unpacks how the new food pyramid could change school lunch trays. Check out more of Kadin's coverage about the changes in dietary guidelines.Interested in more health science?

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Shapiro, a board-certified cardiologist and nationally recognized physician advocate who helped launch one of the first agencies designed specifically to represent doctors. We talk about the mission behind MD Envoy, a new model inspired by sports representation that gives physicians support beyond the bedside. Our conversation covers physician burnout, mental health, and why many doctors struggle with the business and personal demands of their careers. Dr. Shapiro also shares how strategic representation, stronger physician voices, and modern platforms can improve healthcare outcomes while helping doctors build sustainable careers and make a broader impact across communities.

The real danger in bread isn't the gluten. In this video, we'll explain why bread can be unhealthy, how it affects insulin and blood sugar, and what you can eat instead if you decide to stop eating bread.0:00 Introduction: Why bread is unhealthy1:14 The bread blood sugar spike 1:50 The gluten myth 2:54 Bread dangers6:37 Is whole wheat bread healthy? 7:40 Gluten allergies8:22 Modern wheat dangersDownload Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Bread is mostly starch, which is a chain of glucose molecules. Even if the label says zero grams of sugar, that starch is quickly broken down into sugar in your bloodstream.Wheat is in many of the foods people eat regularly: pizza, cereal, granola bars, and more. The average American consumes wheat almost every day.One of the biggest problems with bread is the blood sugar spike. In some cases, bread can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar, despite being labeled as having zero sugar.Gluten-free bread isn't always a healthier option. Many gluten-free breads are made with potato starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, or cornstarch instead of wheat flour. These ingredients can spike blood sugar just as much as, if not more than, regular sugar. The starch in bread doesn't just affect blood sugar. It may also contribute to higher LDL cholesterol, fatty liver, and glycation.When bread spikes your blood sugar, insulin is released to bring it down. But where does the excess sugar go? Much of it gets converted into stored fat in the liver and around the belly. Over time, repeated blood sugar spikes and high insulin levels can lead to insulin resistance.While a small percentage of people have a true gluten allergy or sensitivity, for many others, the real issue with bread is the starch. Modern wheat has also been heavily hybridized and engineered to contain higher levels of gluten.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

In this Unfiltered episode of Fixing Healthcare, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr sit down with cardiologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Jonathan Fisher for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, strategy and the future of physician influence in American medicine. The discussion begins with a challenge to a popular point of view: that empathy, transparency and trust make for an effective leader in medicine. While those qualities matter, Dr. Pearl argues that healthcare also requires strategic thinking, operational discipline and the ability to align people around a common direction. In medicine, says Dr. Fisher, many physicians are taught how to care for patients but not how to lead organizations. From there, the conversation expands into the deeper reasons doctors so often remain subordinate to administrators, why burnout makes strategy harder to execute and why the economics of healthcare continue to reward treatment more than prevention. Some of the key ideas discussed: Empathy is necessary, but not sufficient. Healthcare often treats empathy and trust as the highest forms of leadership. Pearl argues that great leaders also need strategic thinking, financial understanding and operational skill. Doctors are rarely trained to lead. Fisher and Pearl discuss how physicians are taught to avoid mistakes and follow established pathways, not necessarily to take strategic risks. Burnout undermines strategy. A burned-out workforce may struggle to understand, trust or implement leadership goals. Fisher notes that wellness programs can help individuals cope, but they cannot substitute for fixing the systemic forces driving exhaustion. Primary care remains undervalued. Pearl argues that fee-for-service medicine fails to reward prevention. Until payment models shift toward capitation and long-term disease control, primary care will continue to be under-supported despite its central importance. Strategy without implementation goes nowhere. The group explores the difference between setting a vision and making it real. Pearl argues that healthcare too often suffers from one or the other: plans with no execution or action without coherent strategy. Physicians need broader leadership development. To reclaim influence over the future of medicine, doctors will need more than clinical expertise. They will need training in finance, organizational behavior, incentives and the mechanics of large-scale change. The future of medicine will be collaborative. As generative AI takes on more algorithmic tasks, doctors who succeed will not be the ones who resist change but those who learn to combine clinical judgment, human connection and technological support. Pressure changes performance. Using examples from the Winter Olympics, Fisher explains how elite performers can “freeze” when stress overrides instinct. The same phenomenon can happen in medicine when clinicians are forced into high-stakes moments without the right preparation or support. Machines don't freeze. That observation leads to one of the episode's most provocative questions: if AI and robotics continue to improve, will certain technical tasks eventually be performed more reliably by machines than by humans under pressure? Competition should lead to unity, not division. In the closing segment, the discussion broadens from sports to society with a question from Jeremy Corr, offering the patient's point of view. Pearl argues that high-level competition should ultimately strengthen collective purpose, whether in athletics, healthcare or public life.

Most skincare advice is focused on fixing what you can see—wrinkles, texture, tone. But by the time those changes appear, the underlying biology has already been shifting for years.In this episode of The One Thing Podcast, Dr. Rinde sits down with pharmacist and founder of Atika Wellness , Lily Shapiro, PharmD – to explore a more accurate way to think about skin health—one that moves beyond “anti-aging” and toward what she calls skin span.Lily breaks down the science behind how skin actually ages and why many popular solutions fall short. From the truth about collagen and biotin to the limitations of topical products, this conversation challenges some of the most common assumptions in the skincare world.You'll also learn the four core drivers of skin longevity—collagen integrity, antioxidant balance, lipid barrier function, and mitochondrial health—and how a systems-based approach can support your skin from the inside out.If you're looking for a clearer, more science-backed way to approach your skin and your health, this episode will give you a new framework to work from.—Topics covered:• Why “anti-aging” is the wrong framework• The truth about collagen, biotin, and hyaluronic acid• The CALM framework for skin longevity• How hormones impact skin, especially in midlife• Why most supplements fall short• The connection between internal health and visible skin changes—Follow Dr. Rinde for more conversations focused on the one thing that truly moves your health forward.Show links: https://www.atikawellness.com/About our guest:About Lily Shapiro, PharmDLily Shapiro is a pharmacist and the founder of ATIKA, a nutritional dermatology brand built on scientific clarity, therapeutic dosing, and a commitment to skin longevity.

One of the most common questions I get is: are my migraines genetic? And I completely understand why: Most people are told by their doctor that migraines run in the family, which is really just a polite way of saying you're unlucky and there's nothing to be done about it. In this episode I explain why that answer is incomplete, and why it's keeping so many women stuck. Here's the truth: there is no migraine gene. Yes, there is a genetic predisposition, but whether those genes actually express themselves and generate migraines depends entirely on the environment your body is in. his is the science of epigenetics, and it changes everything. We have roughly the same number of genes as an earthworm. What makes us complex isn't the genes themselves,it's which ones get switched on and which ones get switched off based on your environment. Your symptoms are not a malfunction. They are your body's way of adapting to conditions that are less than optimal. And if you change those conditions, by giving your cells the nutrients they need, clearing metabolic waste, and restoring your resilience and vitality, your body no longer has a reason to generate migraines, regardless of your family history.

Public health policy has become one of the most contentious fronts of the Trump administration. From cuts to Medicaid to RFK Jr.'s promotion of dubious theories on the causes of autism, some physicians say they feel compelled to run for office. President Donald Trump is also possibly losing support among MAHA Moms who object to his promotion of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate for use in agriculture. The conversation comes amid a federal court ruling striking down parts of Kennedy's vaccine policies. USA TODAY National Reporter Sarah D.

This episode is all about the simple power of a morning huddle. Tiff and Trish talk about the why behind these daily meetings, including what to include versus not include, how to look for opportunities in the schedule, why everything goes a lot smoother with a bit of communication. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are back at you again. We've got another fun topic today. This is one, honestly, we talk about these a lot. We talk about morning huddles. That's what we're gonna do, spoiler alert, morning huddles. We talk about these a lot, but I feel like we have not had an awesome recording, an awesome podcast recording on this in quite a little while. So I'm actually super excited for what's to come. And I've got Ms. here with me today. ​ cleared her calendar for some podcasting time with me today, which I always appreciate and adore. And we're actually, we pre-record these, you guys know this, so I'm just gonna drop this now. It kind of makes it a little funky, because this may be the end of March. I'm not sure where you're gonna get this, where this drops, so enjoy. But we're getting ready for our in-person mastermind. We'll be having another one in September, so that's why I don't mind talking about it. It's the end of February now, recording for March. But we're getting ready for our in-person event. ​ Literally two days from now. I can't believe that I moved podcasting here, but Trish I think we were I was at least sick I had to reschedule everybody's been sick, but holy cow what an amazing week I feel like the energy and the team is is crazy We've got a slew of doctors and office managers coming to Phoenix tomorrow ⁓ At the airport is gonna be wild and I'm excited to see everybody in person Trish. How are you? How excited are you for this mastermind? ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (01:26) so jazzed. They've just been so fun. It's one, it's always just neat to actually be able to like touch the people that we work with, hug the people that we work with, shake hands with the clients, with the new clients, and just on site is always just really, really, really fun. So I am very, excited for this and our weather is perfect for the people that are coming from the cold. So they'll be very happy. The spouses that are attending will really be enjoying the pool. It's just going to be a great, a great experience for everybody. ​ The Dental A Team (01:43) I agree. ​ I agree. think end of February in Phoenix has to be one of the best ideas we've ever had. I remember a couple years ago I have a practice out in Georgia and she and her girlfriends do, they do trips every year and it's this girls trip and it's so cute and it's so fun and they came out here and it was, it would have been like two weeks ago our time now so beginning of February which is always, February in Phoenix is, I think it's the best time. ​ of the year to be in Phoenix. Hands down, February in Phoenix is my favorite month. And it poured. And it was freezing. And she's like, girl, we came here because it was snowing at home. And I was like, I they went to Sedona and it was freezing. And I was like, ⁓ dang it. But now, fast forward, this weekend ⁓ is literally the best time of the year to be here. And when we go in person, the reason this is super relevant is we do ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (02:34) I bet. ​ The Dental A Team (02:51) Morning huddles we implement with all of our practices. We strongly believe in them. We will tell you why. When we come in person to you, we get this really cool energy. And gosh, we love being boots on the ground in offices, seeing where you guys work, seeing how you work together, getting that intel and that information. And it's just, I think all consultants can say, sets us on fire. Having you guys all come to us is just like heartwarming in a way. ​ It touches our souls that you want to be here with us and it's just a different, it's a different energy, a different vibration and having so many really cool brains and minds melding together to help one another and seeing the community and the camaraderie is just so cool. And I just, I'm so excited. So we're, we're stoked. The next one's in September. If you're not coming to this one or you're not, by the time you listen to this, you're not reminiscing on how cool it was. ​ You better be here in September. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. That's how you're going to get your ticket. You tell us you want to be here, we'll figure out a way. with that, we won't be talking about morning huddles this week because we do them as consultants. But Trish, morning huddles, I know, are super important. think every consultant probably on Earth right now is like, you should be doing morning huddles, especially Dental A Team consultants. What is your why behind a morning huddle? ​ How do you explain the practices? How do we convince the people here that are like, we don't need morning huddle. What's your why? ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (04:28) My why is because number one, communication to me is always like, you're never going to lose from communicating. When you have everybody on the same page in the morning to kind of start to direct the show for the day, it prepares you for those hiccups that can actually come up. There's this, I might have shared this with you, Tiff, there's this, and I don't remember the name of it, but it's a Navy SEAL video. And basically the title of it is like, if you want to change the world, make your bed every morning. ​ The Dental A Team (04:55) Yes. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (04:58) When I watched that, was like, making the bed every morning, that's the morning huddle for the dental teams. And what he shares is like, if you can't do a simple task, like make your bed in the morning, how are you supposed to be prepared as your day goes on to face something more challenging? Because that's a simple task. The morning huddle is also, it's a pretty simple task, but it's kind of a big one because you get to look at this. Yes, you get to look at the schedule as a team. ​ We don't need to go patient by patient by patient. Everybody can see that they're on the schedule. What we're looking for is our opportunities and to celebrate a win. Like do we have a win from yesterday? That will certainly get the team charged up. But what is happening today? Who's coming in and where are the opportunities, especially like say from the hygiene department, who's coming in on the hygiene schedule today with an existing treatment need? It's clear it's there because they didn't do it last time. ​ We talk to them about it. when can we collaborate real quick on what are we going to do differently today? Do we need new photography? Like what's the story with that patient? But it's to align us as a team, note, like find our places. Like this would be a good place for an emergency. And, and again, just create clarity and accountability on what that day looks like right now. We know the dentistry changes many times and can throughout a day. ​ However, again, when we orchestrate together as a team in the morning and we start to direct the show, those days will, it's almost like it's guaranteed they're going to flow easier. They just are. ​ The Dental A Team (06:38) Yeah, ​ in compare to pull out your, your Navy SEAL video and like really combine those pieces. What you, what you said in there was preparing for preparing for the day. If you can do this task, like when something more difficult comes along. So it made me think as you're speaking there, you're saying, talk about the unscheduled treatment and what are we going to do differently? Because what I, what that said to me that I smashed those two things together in my brain. And I thought, well, if I'm the ​ hygienist or dental assistant and then I'm like, okay doc, what do you want to do? One, efficiency is my jam. One, that is a waste of time. If I've got the patient there but I have to wait for the doctor to come in to have a conversation about the treatment that was on there, we're losing time, we're losing trust, we're losing an opportunity. And then two, if I have to troubleshoot those all day, we haven't already troubleshot them, I'm troubleshooting those all day. ​ and my mill breaks, my mill, my crown broke in the mill. And now I'm troubleshooting that. Plus I've got another patient coming in that has unscheduled treatment that I'm responsible for that I have to get scheduled and I have to get their re-care. But this thing just over here, and now the ultrasonic is spilling water all over the floor. Like if I could have gotten all of those other small, like making the bed style stresses out in the morning with my team informed plans, this broken crown. ​ The ultrasonic, the phones went down, the internet isn't working today. My car broke and I can't get to my appointment. All of these things, these happen every day, every single day. So I think Trish, you'd like, I talk about morning huddles all the time, you guys, but you just changed it. You just even changed the small perspective for me just now and got me lit up of how can I help practices reduce small variable stresses. ​ so that those big stresses have space to live. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (08:37) Right. Yep. That's exactly it. And if the doctor, you know, let's say there is a nine o'clock patient coming in that has unscheduled treatment from the last visit, but the doctor is now, like his time has now been used up with an emergency and his other patient has three composites that are trying to That's how he's fun. Now, hygienist is always already prepared because we talked about it this morning. We know new photography is going to be necessary and ask the right question. The doctor may not even need to go in there. ​ The Dental A Team (08:55) Yeah. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (09:07) during that particular time. So it's just the organization of those what ifs that can happen throughout the day. Many teams, what do they usually tell us Tiff? Our huddles aren't productive and we'll go what? Because they literally just sit there and review the schedule. We don't need to. Yeah, I know me too. I'm like, well, no wonder it's boring. That's 15 minutes of your life that you could have slept in 15 more minutes. But when they do just kind of just pull out the meat and potatoes. ​ The Dental A Team (09:08) Yeah. ​ Yeah. ​ And drive's been crazy. ​ Seriously. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (09:36) Where do we have opportunities on the schedule today? If that, nine o'clock hygiene patient does have existing treatment needs, are we able to slide them over and say, 10, can we make some other things work? And when they do it more like that, when they look at it more as like they're trying to design the business for the day versus just review who's coming in for the day, then they do find them way more productive. ​ The Dental A Team (10:02) Yeah, I completely agree. I thought, Trish, as you were talking there too, I thought how many doctors complain, how many team members are listening today and you can hear your doctor say, how do you not have an x-ray? Or they come in the room or how many hygienists, I know even as a dental assistant, I get so frustrated if he walked in the room and he's like, I need an x-ray. And I'm like, ⁓ I could have had that for him. Like I could have been prepared. I want to be a step ahead. ​ so that we're saving those spaces. And you mentioned like doing the treatment today, same day treatment. If we've already talked about it as a dental assistant, I've preset a tray, not opened, right? But I've got everything that I need that I can throw in a room for when that patient says yes, because we already talked about it. But being a dental assistant, and I speak from the dental assistant space, because I was a dental assistant for a really long time, and I loved it. And being the dental assistant, it would drive me nuts when I didn't have ​ the space, the capacity or the forethought. I didn't know something was coming. And then the hygienist comes at me frantic and rushed because she's like, my gosh, he wants to do this now. And he said it and I didn't, and I'm like, okay, like I'm taking on your energy. And I'm like, my gosh, like now everybody's frantic. And now the feeling goes wrong. And what should have been 30 minutes just took an hour and a half. And the patient that should have been fine, that had a scheduled appointment is now waiting because we just, we weren't prepared. ​ And then I think I offended an office once I didn't mean to but I think I did because they're they loved the doctors loved to go through every single appointment and literally to the point of like 20 modl and I'm like, are we talking about it because it should be a crown? No, that's what we're doing And so I told them like you're just basically telling your team that you can't they can't read a schedule ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (11:48) I'm not wearing glasses. ​ That's exactly it. ​ The Dental A Team (11:57) you should ​ have already done this. Everyone should have already looked at the schedule and if you want to meet with your dental assistants and powwow for every single appointment that way, by all means, but your hygienist in your front office, they were checked out 20 minutes ago. They're out. I think I slightly offended them, but they changed it and they left it. It was fine. Sometimes that's my job, right? It's like, sometimes we have to say the things you don't want to hear and move forward with grace. So we did it. ​ And then you you mentioned well when you mentioned a lot of practices are like they're not productive. I agree. So Trish agrees Sometimes they're not productive. So we come in and we help you make them productive another thing that I hear that I've had to troubleshoot with some offices and I know you have as well is We can't all be there early enough right maybe I have some doctors right I have some moms that drop their kids off in the morning and so they're really kind of skating in or some hygienists that are kind of skating in and ​ Or they've got split shifts. So they've got so many people that they've got multiple, you know, shifts coming in. And I've got some things that I've trouble shot, but what do you, how do you help them navigate that as well Trish to still get the prep and we call it like winning your day. Like how are we, how are we going to win today? ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (13:11) That is a common one, especially for like the larger practices. You know, I have a doctor, I have a practice that there's five doctors, everybody's coming in at different times. So what we have done with that team is they just have, have like mini huddles with their OM. So before, you know, if the, let's say one group comes in at eight, next group comes in at nine, that group comes in at 8.45 and they meet with the OM. So the OM sometimes it's like on some days does depend. She's having three separate huddles. ​ but she's running them just as efficiently as if it was an entire group. So those team members that are coming in at the later shifts, their focus is on like their columns, their hygienists that they're working with that day and the doctor. But as far as like getting out of it, there's always a solution to have a huddle, like always. Some teams will say like, well, we could do the end of the day. I never, ever, ever, ever recommend that. ​ The Dental A Team (13:59) always. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (14:09) People want to go home. Dentistry is hard. It takes a lot out of us. And if you expect a team to want to sit with you at 4 p.m. or 4 30 p.m. to review tomorrow, it's probably going to land on deaf ears. But those other split shifts, that's the way it's handled. So you have your key people. They meet with the O.M. that is, you know, that was present for the main, the big morning. It's just delivered in a smaller group, but the alignment gets to stay the same. ​ The Dental A Team (14:30) All the other ones. ​ Yeah. ​ Yeah, it's like you're running it like there, you have so many doctors. So you're running it, those doctors are essentially working as an office, right? So you're running them as an office rather than like the full office because you're doing that doctor, their assistants, their hygienist and the crew that will be together. So I love that. I've also had a, I've had a doctor, he was, he was a really funny guy, is Louisiana. ⁓ ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (14:46) Exactly. Yeah. ​ The Dental A Team (15:04) And so he just, he was just a funny guy, you know, and he was like, well, me and my truck, right? Like he's coming in with his big dually from an hour away because he lives on a farm. And he's like, I can't, I can't leave any earlier. And I was like, that's fine. You've got speakerphone in your, your truck. It's going to be surround sound. You're there with them on surround sound in your truck. And he was like, you're right. And I'm like, there's no excuse. You're not doing anything else. You're just driving. So. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (15:29) Okay. ​ Yes. ​ The Dental A Team (15:33) get there and he actually ended up more often than not getting there on time to do the huddle because he was intentional about it. was just, you just have to, you have to get through the block. You know, you have to see that there is a way around and normally you're gonna accomplish what it is that you're trying to do. I also have another office, both of us have been into this office together. We've done them together and they are really good at ​ Blocks, very good at blocks and they have a lot of blocks, a lot of blockers for huddle because they just, they just, they do. The timing is just not right for 90 % of the team. And that's really, that's really hard. And it's kind of, it was kind of defeating almost to them. Like, this is something that I'm hearing you, we should do this, but like, can't, you know, and it was defeating for them. And I was like, cool, do it at lunch. ​ So what they do is they'll do a 15 minute huddle at the end of their lunch hour. So they go to lunch a little early, you know, they kind of adjusted their schedule there and they'll huddle for the next 24 hours. So they do this afternoon and tomorrow morning and then look at tomorrow afternoon, but then split the day. So they're kind of adjusted it a little bit, but they're still meeting. And what you said in the beginning Trish was communication. And for most of my practices, and I think ​ We all experience this, Trish. Doctors come in and they're like, we need systems and our communication sucks. I'm like, well, you have systems and your communication is because you're not talking to each other. And so they're all in their own little worlds. They're in their own lanes. And what happens is we get this idea of what we want it to be in our lane. know my patients. I'm handling my patients. You do you. And we get siloed. And this and handoffs force communication. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (17:10) Yes. ​ The Dental A Team (17:33) so that the team is a team. We can't be a team without actually talking to one another and it forces that. And so even for the practices that have to do splits, but they're talking to their OM, their OM is the glue, which actually Trish, what you did there and what they've done is solidify even more that the office manager is the glue of the practice because she's the one that they rely on. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (17:58) the heart of cell. ​ The Dental A Team (18:02) to ensure that they're communicating correctly. it doesn't, morning huddle, nothing we do. Nothing we do has to be exactly the same as the way somebody else did it. And I think that's the beauty of our consulting and the way that we work with our clients is that we are going to take the system and the idea that we know works and we're tailor it around what's going to work for you. So it's not a one size fits all. It's not an everyday at 7.45, everyone in the country. ​ is meeting for a morning huddle. It's just not. And I have other practices that will do it by video, by Slack. So they'll record the morning huddle, and then the office manager is responsible for meeting with them, and they watch the video together. And kind of very similar, but they've got the video, so they've got the input from the first team, because the doctors and the assistants do kind of mingle a little bit more. ⁓ So it's kind of stacking communication throughout the day. ​ But I think the biggest piece there is it's, yeah. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (19:01) That's another good one. That is a good ​ one. I personally have not had to roll it out, but I've worked with some practices that have done that. And I mean, there was no complaints and I was on a call with Kiera and ⁓ she was talking to a practice about doing that. So mean, there's always a way. There's always a way. It would just be 15 minutes to look at today and maybe even tomorrow, depending on the size of the team. today, today is really the most important. If we can get 15 minutes. ​ The Dental A Team (19:17) Yes. Yes. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (19:30) somehow, someway, everybody seeing the plan for the day, then it's probably going to be a much better day than it could have been if you didn't have the 15 minutes set aside for this. ​ The Dental A Team (19:41) I agree. ​ I agree. All right, Trish. So thank you. I really wanted this to be on the go. A why on morning huddles? Because we've talked about morning huddles so much before. And most of our practices, at least, are doing them. I think our action items should be, if you are not doing a huddle, what are the top three things, Trish, that you would tell the doctors and practice managers out there to implement tomorrow if they are not doing morning huddle already? ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (20:10) and not even considering it like they're not gonna have it. Okay, then they've got to do, then they've got to have some form of like say a shared Google Doc where there's the schedule and they can put notes. Somebody's gotta have, they've got to have a view of the day with some kind of commentary that they can go in and I mean, Slack there's that, but maybe just the Google Drive, the schedule's there, they add their commentary, it's reviewed. ​ The Dental A Team (20:13) Yep. ​ Trish Lee Ackerman (20:38) They may be even initial so that they've read it. They can add more commentary, but something with this day in the office has got to be reviewed by the key team members for sure. And if that is something that they do, via a shared document, then that's what they do. it's got, like it's kind of a non-negotiable. It's got to happen. They're going to run into chaos. It's not fair to them. ​ and to have just something at a glance, that wouldn't even take 15 minutes. That'd probably be more, maybe even like five if they were doing it individually. But each provider does need to have a key team member with them. They need to review the day and add commentary and read any other commentary that was placed there. ​ The Dental A Team (21:26) Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Perfect. All right, guys, go take a look at what you're doing. If you're doing morning huddle, phenomenal. Thank you so much. Drop a five-star review below and let us know what you're doing for your huddle because the ideas will flow. People will read those and they will see what you're doing as well. If you're not doing huddle, if you don't want to do huddle, you're still like, guys, don't believe you. Do what Trish just said. I think that is a beautiful idea. If you're ready to implement huddle and you don't know how or you don't ​ Want to get too crazy with it? Number one, reach out to us, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.

Riad Kassis joins Mark Labberton from Beirut as airstrikes continue, 700,000 people have been displaced across Lebanon, and children's toys are visible in the rubble. He leads Langham Partnership and has spent decades serving the church across one of the world's most contested regions. He names the spiritual danger of sanctifying power with religious narrative while insisting peace cannot be forced by violence. "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations." In this episode, Kassis reflects on war, displacement, pastoral witness, and hope in God's sovereignty from the middle of Lebanon's crisis. Together they discuss the civilian toll of the war, how religious fundamentalism operates across traditions, the Psalms and Habakkuk as tools for lament, and what American Christians can actually do. Together they ask what it means for the church to hold protest and hope together when cycles of war feel endless and religiously justified. Episode Highlights "It is not an operation. It is a war on Lebanon." "When power—whether political, military, financial, or technological—is sanctified by religious narratives that justify everything, that is what really bothers me." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." "When I think that these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition and weapons, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations."

Iranian author Shiha Dejani, herself a survivor of the Iranian regime: if your vision of liberation comes through destroying innocent lives, it is not freedom you are after Grew up admiring America as a beacon of democracy and discovery; that view has changed "When I think these 85 children were killed mainly by American ammunition, I cannot comprehend this—even as a Christian and as a theologian." "No one cures and destroys with more passion than someone who believes that God is on their side." Walter Wink: the dominant religion on the planet is not Christianity, Islam, or Judaism—it is the pervasive faith in violence Preaching Habakkuk two days before this conversation; the cry "how long, O Lord?" as pastoral anchor Psalms of disorientation as communal tools for protest, lament, and stubborn hope Lent and Ramadan overlapping: identifying suffering with Christ's suffering; "after Friday, we will experience an amazing Sunday" 2,000 years of Arab Christian presence in this region—not just survival, but witness and contribution "Peace does not come by power. It comes by genuine love and concern. It comes when you invest in the education of new generations."

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent Lectionary: 246 The Saint of the day is Saint Cyril of Jerusalem Saint Cyril of Jerusalem's Story The crises that the Church faces today may seem minor when compared with the threat posed by the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ and almost overcame Christianity in the fourth century. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem was to be caught up in the controversy, accused of Arianism by Saint Jerome, and ultimately vindicated both by the men of his own time and by being declared a Doctor of the Church in 1822. Raised in Jerusalem and well-educated, especially in the Scriptures, he was ordained a priest by the bishop of Jerusalem and given the task during Lent of catechizing those preparing for Baptism and catechizing the newly baptized during the Easter season. His Catecheses remain valuable as examples of the ritual and theology of the Church in the mid-fourth century. There are conflicting reports about the circumstances of his becoming bishop of Jerusalem. It is certain that he was validly consecrated by bishops of the province. Since one of them was an Arian, Acacius, it may have been expected that his “cooperation” would follow. Conflict soon rose between Saint Cyril of Jerusalem and Acacius, bishop of the rival nearby see of Caesarea. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem was summoned to a council, accused of insubordination and of selling Church property to relieve the poor. Probably, however, a theological difference was also involved. He was condemned, driven from Jerusalem, and later vindicated, not without some association with and help from Semi-Arians. Half his episcopate was spent in exile; his first experience was repeated twice. He finally returned to find Jerusalem torn with heresy, schism and strife, and wracked with crime. Even Saint Gregory of Nyssa, who was sent to help, left in despair. They both went to the Council of Constantinople, where the amended form of the Nicene Creed was promulgated in 381. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem accepted the word consubstantial—that is, Christ is of the same substance or nature as the Father. Some said it was an act of repentance, but the bishops of the Council praised him as a champion of orthodoxy against the Arians. Though not friendly with the greatest defender of orthodoxy against the Arians, Saint Cyril of Jerusalem may be counted among those whom Athanasius called “brothers, who mean what we mean, and differ only about the word consubstantial.” Reflection Those who imagine that the lives of saints are simple and placid, untouched by the vulgar breath of controversy, are rudely shocked by history. Yet, it should be no surprise that saints, indeed all Christians, will experience the same difficulties as their Master. The definition of truth is an endless, complex pursuit, and good men and women have suffered the pain of both controversy and error. Intellectual, emotional, and political roadblocks may slow up people like Cyril for a time. But their lives taken as a whole are monuments to honesty and courage.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Season 4 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast is here! We're starting where it all begins: with each other.CW: in this episode, we do discuss depression, medical trauma, suicidal ideation, and suicide. In this first episode of the new season, I sit down with Kathleen Banks, a health systems researcher and Long Covid patient, for a conversation about something none of us planned for: finding our biggest cheerleaders and chosen family in our pockets.We talk about "pocket friends," - what Kathleen calls the people living in your phone who already know how you feel, who you can reach out to when a symptom scares you at 2am and, who don't need an explanation if you have to cancel a FaceTime. We explore how so many of us arrived on social media not necessarily looking for friends, but for validation, and found so much in each other. We also get into the real cost of being sick in America. It's not just co-pays and premiums, but the fancy expensive bandages you need because of MCAS, and the $77 supplements that you go without because you have to pay your phone bill so you don't lose access to your lifelines. We also discuss community care: what it looks like when you can just send someone money, no questions asked, because you know what it is to need it, or when strangers send your kids more birthday gifts than their grandparents do.Kathleen also shares her work training public health researchers in trauma-informed methods for interviewing Long Covid patients and why she used episodes of this very podcast to supplement her work. We talk about disability justice, the particular grief of Long Covid Awareness Month, and what it means to still be here, building something remarkable out of what's left.Oh, and somewhere in the middle of that, we talk about moss. I'm girl moss, not a girl boss.This is the first episode of my Long Covid Awareness Week series. Season 4 is about community - the ways we've been discarded, and about what we've built for each other anyway. We're still here because of us. My call for listener feedback on community was so well-heeded that this "episode" is being split into several parts that will all be released this week. More information about Kathleen, my beloved wife:Kathleen Banks is a health systems researcher with expertise on patient-physician relationships; systems thinking; patient advocacy; and dignity in healthcare. She specializes in the translation of evidence, high-level policies, and systems decisions at the point of care.

Today, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor about the big story of the Bible—the way God reveals his plan to redeem all things from the beginning of Scripture to the end. Knowing God's mission to redeem all things really does affect how we apply Scripture to our lives. We hope this episode reminds you of the beauty of the story God has written in Scripture and gets you excited to learn more about the specific themes we'll see unfold as our series continues. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FULL SHOW NOTES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ journeywomen.org/episode/tracing-bibles-story DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is Redemptive Historical Context?  Name some difficulties you personally face when trying to understand the story (or metanarrative) of Scripture? Which sections specifically seem difficult for you? Which part of this great story is sweetest or most interesting to you in your current season? How does knowing the redemptive historical context change the way you understand Scripture? Think about your own testimony and how you think of sharing the gospel.

Magnesium deficiency symptoms are often missed on standard blood tests. In this video, we explore the key benefits of magnesium, common hidden magnesium deficiency symptoms, and how magnesium may help support anxiety, sleep, stress, and overall wellness.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: Hidden magnesium deficiency symptoms 1:02 What causes magnesium deficiency?1:36 Magnesium for anxiety 2:21 Eye twitching and magnesium deficiency6:11 What kind of magnesium to take6:37 Magnesium glycinate benefits7:17 When to take magnesium8:13 Health tips to avoid magnesium deficiency8:47 Magnesium and vitamin DMost of the magnesium in your body is inside your bones and cells. Only 0.3% of your magnesium is in your blood serum. One of the biggest mistakes people make when assessing magnesium deficiency is relying on blood magnesium levels.Over 300 medications can deplete your magnesium levels. Other factors that can cause magnesium deficiency include the following:• Stress• Sugar• Caffeine • Alcohol• High insulin • Low stomach acid• Low salt• Low vitamin DHere are 9 of the most common magnesium deficiency symptoms:1. Anxiety/panic attacks2. Waking up at 2 AM3. Eye twitching (tetany)4. Heart pounding after eating5. Exhausted from thinking 6. Random chest tightness7. Sugar or carb cravings8. Wired but tired 9. Feeling heavyRestless legs syndrome can also result from a magnesium deficiency.Magnesium oxide is one of the most common forms of magnesium available, but also the worst! It has a 3% absorption rate and can cause diarrhea at higher doses. Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, a protein that supports GABA in the brain, and has an absorption rate of 80%. The best time to take magnesium is late in the day. When taking more than 400 mg of magnesium, spread your doses throughout the day.To avoid magnesium deficiency, follow a low-carb diet, increase your stomach acid, and ensure you're getting enough vitamin D.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Dr. Deepika Chopra joins Dr. Will Cole to unpack what “real optimism” actually is and why it's not the same as positivity or toxic positivity. They explore the research linking optimism to lower stress and inflammatory markers, and how shifting your appraisal of a stressor can change your physiology. Deepika shares her personal experience with ulcerative colitis and how chronic illness can affect energy, mindset, and agency. The conversation also covers why the brain prioritizes safety and survival over growth, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing first step.

Millions take flu shots and COVID vaccines every year—but how safe and effective are they really? Tara digs into the data the CDC and mainstream media don't emphasize, from flu shot mortality rates to vaccine effectiveness, and how COVID shots have caused rare but serious complications. This episode separates the facts from the cover-ups so listeners can make informed health decisions. SUMMARY In this episode, Tara examines the risks and effectiveness of flu shots and COVID vaccines, revealing insights many doctors and news outlets overlook. Flu Shots: Each year, 200–250 people die from flu shots in the U.S., possibly up to 1,000 when underreporting is considered. Flu vaccines are based on predictions of last year's flu strains and can actually increase susceptibility to new strains. The CDC reported this year's vaccine was only 25% effective, with long-term reassessments often dropping that number to 5–14%. COVID Vaccines: Amid coverage of global conflicts, media quietly report that adenovirus-based COVID vaccines have caused dangerous blood clots. While rare, the deaths and complications were largely unreported or censored, leaving the public in the dark about the risks. Investigative Insights: Tara draws on years of vaccine research and investigative reporting to question mainstream narratives and encourage listeners to ask informed questions about their health. Actionable Advice: Always consult your doctor—but don't hesitate to challenge them on what you've learned. If your doctor cannot provide clear answers about vaccine risks and effectiveness, it may be time to seek a new provider. KEY TALKING POINTS Flu shot mortality estimates and underreporting issues How flu vaccines can increase susceptibility to unpredicted strains Effectiveness rates of recent flu vaccines: 25% and declining over time COVID adenovirus-based vaccines linked to rare blood clots Media coverage and public understanding of vaccine risks Importance of informed consent and questioning medical advice SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB Flu shots & COVID vaccines: Are you really being protected—or misled?
