Are you and your partner really collaborating in bed, or just going through the motions? In this episode, I'm diving deep into the third pillar of Sexual Intelligence: Collaboration. I break down why two people can be having sex without truly connecting, how sexual polarity creates that magnetic charge we all crave, and why desire mismatches don't have to drive a wedge between you and your partner. I also walk you through one of my favorite practices — the Sexual State of the Union — and share simple, actionable tools like the Yes!No!Maybe? list and 60-second eye contact to help you and your partner start co-creating the sex life you actually want. Whether you're partnered or flying solo, this episode will change the way you think about intimacy.

What if your doctor had time to actually listen to you? Anthony Masiello, Founder and CEO of Lifestyle Telemedicine, joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast for a powerful conversation about what health care can look like when the focus shifts from simply managing symptoms to addressing the root causes of chronic disease. Anthony shares his own incredible story of being denied a 20-year life insurance policy because of his health — only to outlive that policy and become healthier than he was two decades ago. Now he is helping others take control of their health through lifestyle medicine, telemedicine, whole food plant-based nutrition, better sleep, stress management, movement, and real physician support.
In an era when medicine was still finding its footing, John Romulous Brinkley built an empire on impossible cures, relentless ambition, and astonishing lack of a moral compass. In a shocking display of charm and manipulation, he managed to sell his patients on a cure for diseases they didn't even know they had, frequently involving the surgical insertion of a goats testicle into their body. His rise to fame was inspired, and for a while, his power was almost unstoppable, until one man on a crusade took it upon himself to prove otherwise.

We're talking about the Earth, Wind, & Fire documentary, and the wild story of this funky 70s band. We discuss the insane hypocrisy of Tyra Banks suing Netflix over the America's Next Top Model documentary in which she participated. Turns out, it's not fun to be at the mercy of editors trying to tell a particular story. A woman got a tattoo of her child's name, but there was a typo, and her solution is WILD. We celebrate the pianist who got the chance of a lifetime to perform when the pro keyboardist fell ill at a concert. We debate the question of custody of an embryo in the event of a divorce. Susie talks about a mummy whose gut was growing yeast, and we are not happy with what the scientists decided to do with it.

Hey, Heal Squad! Hey, Heal Squad! Maria is back with another edition of What Worked This Week, and trust us—you'll want to keep a notes app handy for this one. First up, Maria shares the unexpected social hack she picked up during...of all places...a breast exam. Her doctor dropped a genius conversation starter for those awkward moments when you know one half of a couple really well—but not the other. It's simple, brilliant, and something you'll definitely use. Then, if you've got a job interview coming up, don't miss this. Maria shares three questions to ask at the end of an interview that can instantly help you stand out from the crowd. Next, let's talk about sleep. Maria took a two-hour nap and then had one of the best nights of sleep she's had in ages—all thanks to a pair of earplugs that let her fall asleep to the sound of her own heartbeat. Yep, really. We've linked them below so you can check them out for yourself. Another surprisingly helpful hack? Taking photos of everything in your wallet. Maria explains why she did it, how it can save you a major headache, and even how it helped her score a free month of a service. Then there's the birthday party planning. Maria put ChatGPT to work creating custom Western-themed signs for Athena's third birthday rodeo party, printed them at home for free, and saved a ton of money. She also shares all the fun details—from the incredible cake to the vintage shop finds that made the party extra special. And finally, Maria wraps things up with eight Albert Einstein quotes she came across on Instagram. The last one especially stuck with her: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." It's the perfect reminder—and the perfect way to close out the episode.

Elle Macpherson returns to The Art of Being Well for her most personal conversation yet — recorded the morning after a dinner where she and Dr. Will Cole shared things they'd never discussed on camera before. They cover the Hoffman Process and how it quietly laid the groundwork for sobriety, what getting sober actually changed physically and relationally, the healing power of tears and screaming in the car, and why Elle thinks healing is better understood as rebalancing. They also get into the power of language around illness, the perimenopause reframe she wishes every woman had access to, the WellCo Three Steps Well protocol, and a morning routine built around simplicity and consistency.

Get 20% off Just Thrive supplements here: https://bit.ly/4uZkZVk (Code AZADI automatically applied) Episode Description You can eat clean, train hard, and do everything "right" and still feel sick, foggy, and stuck with stubborn belly fat. The problem might not be your discipline. It might be your gut. We expose why most probiotics may be dead before they reach you, how glyphosate wipes out your good bacteria, the hidden gut-brain link, and why a damaged microbiome makes belly fat almost impossible to lose. If you've been blaming yourself for symptoms you can't shake, this one changes everything. Talking Points & Questions Opening: Is it true someone can eat clean, exercise daily, and still have their gut secretly causing belly fat, brain fog, and inflammation? The probiotic problem Most probiotics die before reaching the gut. Are millions wasting money on fake probiotics? Why do so many people get more bloated and sick after taking probiotics? What's the biggest lie the probiotic industry has sold consumers? Food supply & warning signs What are the biggest warning signs your gut is poisoning your body before disease shows up? Glyphosate kills good bacteria but lets harmful bacteria survive. Is modern food destroying our microbiome? Gut, belly fat & the brain Can a damaged microbiome make it almost impossible to lose stubborn belly fat? What's the connection between gut bacteria, brain fog, anxiety, low motivation, and depression? Longevity & stress Microbiome diversity predicts longevity. What are most people doing daily that's quietly shortening their lifespan? Stress lowers stomach acid and can lead to SIBO. Could chronic stress alone be wrecking millions of guts? The fix With belly fat, cravings, fatigue, constipation, skin problems, or brain fog, what's the first thing you'd fix in their gut? If everyone watching had to do one thing daily to repair their microbiome, what would it be?

Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club: https://freshpressolive.com/3Qnswiv Pre-order Keto Flex Revised and get free bonuses at: https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM Here's the fact that changes everything: roughly 70% of heart attacks happen in arteries that are less than 50% blocked. The person often felt completely fine. And then a life-changing event. It's not a slow clog. It's a rupture. Soft, inflamed plaque buried in the artery wall ruptures, platelets rush in, a clot forms in seconds, and that clot is what actually triggers the heart attack. The real villains are inflammation, unstable plaque, and clotting. Not your cholesterol number. That's also why the aspirin debate got so confusing. Aspirin works by making platelets less sticky, blunting that first step of clot formation. For someone with documented plaque or a previous heart attack or stroke, the evidence is strong: aspirin cuts the risk of a second event by around 19 to 20%. But for someone at genuinely low cardiovascular risk who has never had an event, the bleeding risk may quietly outweigh any benefit. Same pill, different person, opposite outcome. The key test most people have never gotten: your coronary calcium score. In this episode, I share exactly what I would do the day I found plaque in my arteries, including seven metabolic steps that address the root cause instead of just managing the risk. Key Takeaways: 70% of heart attacks happen in arteries less than 50% blocked. It's a rupture and clot, not a slow clog. Aspirin helps people at high cardiovascular risk (secondary prevention), but may do more harm than good for low-risk individuals Your coronary calcium score is the most important test most people have never taken Chronically high insulin is, according to heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia (5,000+ open heart surgeries), the number one contributor to artery damage The PREDIMED trial found extra virgin olive oil was tied to a 30% lower risk of major cardiovascular events Aspirin manages the consequence of plaque. These seven lifestyle steps remove the cause. Every meal either supports your arteries or works against them. There is no neutral.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the second pillar of Sexual Intelligence: Health. I'll be breaking down exactly how your physical and mental wellbeing are directly shaping your desire, arousal, and pleasure. I'm walking you through everything from movement, hydration, and hormonal balance to pelvic floor health, stress, trauma, and the negative self-talk that quietly steals your pleasure. If you've ever wondered why you're just not in the mood, or why intimacy feels out of reach no matter what you try, this episode will connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense. Better sex doesn't just start in the bedroom, it starts with how you're taking care of yourself every single day.

On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Heather Rogers, double board-certified dermatologist, Founder of Doctor Rogers Skincare, and Co-Founder of Modern Dermatology — a trusted voice of reason in a skincare world overloaded with trends, hype, and too many products. After years of seeing hundreds of patients each week, Dr. Rogers noticed a pattern: people were overdoing it. Damaged skin barriers. Irritation. Reactive skin. Confusing routines. Products promising results but often creating more problems. That frustration led her to build Doctor Rogers Skincare, a streamlined, fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested line focused on fewer products, scientifically grounded ingredients, and formulas designed to support healing, calm inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. In this episode, Dr. Rogers breaks down what actually matters in skincare — and what does not. We talk about barrier-first skincare, why sensitive skin is so often misunderstood, the biggest myths and overhyped trends in the industry, and how consumers should think about terms like “clean,” “clinical,” and “medical-grade.” She also shares what it's like to build a consumer brand as a practicing dermatologist, what she refused to compromise on, and why simplifying your routine may be one of the best things you can do for your skin.

Joe Stone grew up playing volleyball, skateboarding, and breakdancing. Then, in 2012, a car crash left him paralyzed. Doctors told him he would likely never move anything below his chest again. But five weeks after leaving the hospital, Joe found wheelchair rugby. This violent, fast, full-contact sport helped him rebuild strength, process anger, and feel alive in a changed body. In this conversation recorded at a live tournament in New Haven, Joe talks about the crash, falling in love after paralysis, being a father, faith, adaptive sports, and what people misunderstand when they assume athletes with disabilities are fragile.

Sarah is hyped about her new look. We're calling it athletic chic. We learn about a religious festival where people compete to make the most noise, and in so doing, priceless art pieces were destroyed. We find out the details of the world's most expensive home, and Susie wishes the owner a lifetime of pain and agony. Susie's sister is fact checking Sarah about how to deal with a bear sighting, and we just hope we're never in that position because there's some confusion. A gym is being sued because the "grunting" of the members is so loud the neighbors can't get a moment's rest. We lament the death of cursive handwriting and also (the atrocious) spelling of humans. We are mad about horse-drawn carriages. Why do they still exist? But good news--cereal boxes are bringing back toys. Finally! Plus, we hear how scientists discovered that fog is ALIVE.

What happens when a physician-owned practice takes on corporate medicine? In this episode of The White Coat Investor Podcast, we discuss how a group of emergency physicians successfully fought to preserve their independent practice in a dispute that drew national attention. We explore the challenges facing physician-owned groups, the growing influence of corporate medicine, and what this case could mean for physician independence.

3 Fertility Doctors Finally Say It: This Predicts IVF Success More Than Your Protocol There is a question every woman on a fertility journey asks eventually, usually after her third or fourth failed cycle: “am I doing everything I can to secure success”, and what fertility doctors say might surprise you.

A 30 to 40 percent Medicare cut just hit the doctors who keep your local hospital running, and the policy meant to stop hospital monopolies is accelerating them instead. John Birkmeyer, president of the medical group at Sound Physicians and a former Dartmouth health services researcher, discusses the KevinMD article "Medicare practice expense cuts will hurt patients." You'll hear how CMS quietly slashed the practice expense portion of Medicare payments for the first time in 20 years, hitting independent hospitalists, ER doctors, and critical care groups with net cuts of 6 to 10 percent. You'll learn why CMS aimed at hospital-owned practices but instead pulled the rug from under the independent groups already operating at 2 to 4 percent margins, why rural hospitals will struggle hardest to staff, and how the resulting consolidation drives up prices for every patient. You'll also hear what CMS could fix in its 2027 rule and why physician advocacy now is the only correction available before more independent practices fold. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Have you ever wondered why trauma seems to leave lasting marks on your mind, heart, and even relationships? In today's conversation, I sit down with Dr. J. Otis Ledbetter, author of Set Free, Released from the Damage of Trauma, to uncover how we can overcome the destructive effects of trauma and move towards God's peace and restoration. Drawing from scripture and real-life experiences, Dr. Ledbetter reveals how even biblical heroes wrestled with trauma and how we can learn from their stories to create tranquil paths of healing and wholeness. If you've been searching for hope after loss, abuse, crisis, or disappointment, this episode will encourage you that freedom is possible. Today, we're going to be talking about how to overcome the lasting damage of trauma through God's word. Quotables from the episode: Trauma is not the event. Trauma is the chronic reaction to that event. Trauma is ongoing. An event can happen and then it can be in your past. You may never forget it, but it no longer identifies you. And it no longer points the direction that you should go, whether life or death. The first emotion that somebody faces after a traumatic event is fear. Fear leads to anxiety. Anxiety leads to mood swings. Mood swings will lead you into isolation. Isolation brings the worst. It brings hopelessness. And it brings despair, and loss of purpose. The truth is what heals. God does not heal deceit. He heals truth. The one word for parents to pass a heritage to their children their faith, is intentionality. Just do something. Don't think it can be done by accident. Be intentional. The trauma of the unknown is, I think, the most garden variety trauma you can have. Don't leave out the spiritual because there is a God who loves you and he is a God of hope. God knows us so intimately that he knows what we need and willingly provides it. God says, come to me if you're heavy laden. I'll give you rest. He didn't say I'll rescue you. He's not going to rescue you. But he's going to give you a place of rest. Scripture References: Isaiah 61:1—“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” Psalm 40:2 (NIV) – “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Joel 2:25 (ESV) – “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.” Recommended Resources: Set Free, Released from the Damage of Trauma by Dr. J.

While Elsevier's most recent Clinician of the Future Report shows increasing adoption of artificial intelligence tools among physicians and nurses, and optimism that they will improve quality of care in the future, a majority raised concerns about trust and reliability. To increase the level of trust, 60% said transparent citations of evidence-based and peer-reviewed research will be key. How to provide that transparency is our focus today as Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith welcomes Elsevier colleagues Rhett Alden and Raman Kaur to guide us through the complexities involved, including the concept of traceability and what role it plays in how AI tools such as Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI are built and deployed. “Traceability changes the confidence that a clinician has in an AI tool so that they aren't trusting the AI, they're trusting the underlying evidence they're consuming from the AI-assisted platform,” says Raman, who brings years of experience as a primary care practitioner to her work. It's also important, Rhett adds, to provide additional information, pulled from both the clinician's query and the patient's medical record, to inform clinical thinking. “ClinicalKey AI can be more than a response engine by establishing a larger context to provide a more precise answer for that individual patient.” In this thought-provoking discussion, these experts also provide insights on: Mitigating bias in AI results; Using AI responsibly with sustainability in mind; What type of clinician will benefit most from AI Mentioned in this episode: ClinicalKey AI Clinician of the Future Report If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Today is the four-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision -- the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade and with it, our constitutional right to abortion care.But women across the country have been fighting back: marching, calling their legislators, and sharing their personal abortion stories. Places like Ohio have even put laws and constitutional amendments on the ballot to enshrine abortion rights in their state.Doctors and providers have been working hard to make sure reproductive care stays available too. In today's episode, we talked to Nan Whaley and Gwynne Perry from Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio. Earlier this spring, an anti-choice protester attacked their clinic and set it on fire, but Nan and Gwynne didn't hesitate. They opened the clinic the very next day, ensuring that patients didn't experience even a one-day interruption in their care.In Gwynne's words, "We thought, hell no. We're not doing this. We're gonna see patients. So we did."Four years on from the Dobbs decision, lifesaving care is being provided not by politicians or Supreme Court Justices. It's coming from women like Gwynne and Nan -- and for that, we're grateful.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

When Jenna Fuhrman got pregnant, her prenatal appointments covered tests, screenings, and medications — but barely touched the factor with the deepest influence on fertility, pregnancy, and her child's lifelong health: what she eats. In this episode, she and her father, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, dig into what the research actually says. Most physicians get little nutrition training, even as the science on prenatal nutrition keeps growing — which means parents who want to give their child the best possible start often have to learn this for themselves. Joel and Jenna cover what to eat before conception and through all nine months, and why small dietary shifts can make a lasting difference for both mother and baby. What you'll learn: The surprising link between a father's diet, sperm quality, and miscarriage risk — why this isn't only about the mother Why what both parents eat before conception may shape fertility, miscarriage risk, and a child's long-term health Getting folate from greens and beans, and how it differs from synthetic folic acid Why Dr. Fuhrman recommends algae-derived DHA and EPA over fish during pregnancy Why ferritin testing — not just standard anemia screening — can reveal more about iron status Managing morning sickness and food aversions with small, frequent portions of nuts, seeds, and beans, without losing nutrient density Supporting healthy blood pressure and blood sugar through pregnancy Why a high-animal-protein diet may not be the optimal approach, and how plant protein supports a healthy baby Whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or planning ahead, this episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for nourishing both mother and baby.

Kiera and Trish are on the podcast together (yay!) to dive into the art of a Dental A-Team visit to your office (double yay!). They go into how an eagle-eyed consultant was able to take a specific office that couldn't quite reach its goals and tip them into success. They also touch on relationship dynamics, the power of "mom eyes," being a cheerleader and a coach, and a ton more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I am so excited for today's podcast. I have the one and only Trish. She's known as TADA in our company. She's all the confetti, the glitter, the sparkles, the spice, and Trish honestly just reminds me how great life is. So Trish, welcome to the podcast today. How are you? Tricia Lee Ackerman (00:17) I'm doing great, thank you Kiera. I always love getting this time in with you. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:21) ⁓ likewise, I, Trish, you are just my little like light on the Hill. just, whenever I need to remind myself how good life is, I just need a little Trishism in my life. So Trish, thank you for being that. And Trish, you just got back off the road. You were in offices and that was what we're going to podcast today of like, you have had some pretty freaking outstanding results after being with offices, being in person with them. And so we kind of wanted to office autopsy that, but like Trish. Just walk us through like what is an office visit like and how does that magic happen? So kind of walk us through because you just Literally flew in I think last night and here we are. was like, hey, let's do a quick early morning podcast with you But yeah, let's let's talk about some of that magic Trish What what happens in an in-office visit and how does that magic happen? Tricia Lee Ackerman (00:57) Yeah, that's good. You know, it's like we do, we build strong relationships, you know, via the Google meetings and video meetings and such, but something truly does happen when you get to touch somebody, hug somebody, and then really just like look at them knee to knee, eye to eye. And I was, when I meet with teams, like it's typically, we kind of know each other already. You know, we've been working together a couple months, sometimes even up to like four or five, six months already. But when we get there and we see each other, And we get to have a lot of fun together as a collaborative team, because the Dental A Team style is like, we are fun. That we definitely are. And we try to make the lives of people easier. And this collaboration that takes place, also is kind of like it's cousins with a trust that also forms at the same time. So it's like we collaborate, yeah, that's great. But then the relationship, it steps it up a notch and a trust starts to come. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (01:39) Yeah. Tricia Lee Ackerman (02:00) And when you can see that happen, can all, well, you feel it and then you know it's there. And then the magic really starts to like, it speeds up the momentum. It like you hit the, you hit the pedal to the metal and like, it's go. And I've seen it more than once. And so it is truly the onsite visits that, that bring this kind of full circle and put the big red bow on what we're trying to accomplish for ourselves as consultants and for the teams. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (02:30) Yeah, I love that you say that because you're right. Like we do virtual and in-person consulting. We also have an in-person mastermind, which is so fun, but it's that I think it's the collaboration. It's the connection. It's the conversations that are had that you wouldn't normally have. ⁓ it's having, I almost got like the hallway whispers, teams open up a lot to you when we're in person. They, we find out things. And also when we go in person, you're able to see things. I remember, I think like one of the highlights of my career. was walking into a practice that I had been consulting for almost a year. We were growing them and I walked in and I did like a, it was a head turn. Everybody says I have some good mom eyes without being a mom. And I was like, you guys have paper charts? I didn't know that this was a thing. And how has this never come up on a single call because paper charts should not be happening. And the dentist was like, but Kiera, I'm just so comfortable with them. And I said, well, great, we're gonna get really uncomfortable and it's time to change. I just think it's a... Tricia Lee Ackerman (03:23) Yes Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (03:27) things that offices don't even know that they should be bringing up to you of issues on virtual calls. We can't see the practice. can't see how like there's a practice. You and I both know them very well. The thing we did for them was we put in a different flow and that's all we did. And that increased our case acceptance, it increased team morale, but it was just something simple like that. So Krish, you have a practice though. You got an office, it's a unique office. ⁓ And I think what's magical is, after the visit, it's crazy. People can always tell, I had somebody actually chart my visits and they were like, Kiera, without fail, every time you come in, we get a boost in production, a boost in revenue. And I'm like, well, yeah, cause the team's happier. You guys are all aligned. You're rowing in the same direction. But the goal is that that can also sustain. So I hope that it's a, and what I have seen is it's a boost and it's like, there's a spike, but then it's also the baseline goes up and it stays up. Typically speaking, because people are like, well, if you're not here all the time, how are we supposed to get these boosts? And it's like, no, it is a boost, it's a spike, but then is the baseline hires and we live in that, that becomes our new norm. Then we come back in and we spike again and the baseline norms up again. So Trish, let's talk about, you got a couple office autopsies out there. What did you do for some practices and what were the results afterwards? Tricia Lee Ackerman (04:42) Well, I have, I do have a client and there's two practices. We joined them together for the onsite visit and they were, because there's the two practices, they are real, they're very great with being collaborative, but we were all together. So everything was implemented at the same exact time. you know, Kiera, what are the other things I want to throw in about our approach is when we do implement and when we do go onsite, it isn't like the Dental A Team way. You know, doesn't have to be this way. You know, we asked the teams, well, here is a way that we could do something a little bit easier. How do you think we could do this? So there are really big part of, and these teams that we work with, I mean, they're like, geniuses. They really are. We actually learn so much from them. But this particular team that really kind of sticks out to me, they were really struggling hitting their goals. They kind of just didn't know how to do it. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (05:26) Okay. Tricia Lee Ackerman (05:36) But we set in metrics that they could, we broke them really, we broke them down almost like to the hour. So they didn't have to look at a big thing. And yes, that we can do virtually. However, being together and me being able to watch them collaborate and give them those like, almost like the standing ovation, like, wow, did you guys see what you just designed? And Kiera, when I left that practice, they have hit their goals the last two months now. We put in some, which, Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (06:03) Yeah. Tricia Lee Ackerman (06:04) is so neat because they have such a skip in their step. But this, in February, they were $600 away from their collection goal. It was the last day of the month. They ended up going over by $4,000 because they are competitive with each other now in a super fun way. And they ended up getting a patient that was in for a consult to schedule and pay in advance because they wanted that goal. And Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (06:07) Ha ha ha! dang. That's incredible. Tricia Lee Ackerman (06:32) And it's those things that they would not have done before. again, you know, it's almost like it's an invisible magic that does take place because they now know that they have somebody that's not there to change them, that's there to help them. And they want to make us proud. They want to make themselves proud. And it just kind of like the progress that they want to make steps up quite a big level. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (06:35) Mm-hmm. Tricia Lee Ackerman (07:02) It just does. It just does. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (07:02) Yeah, it does. And George, what I love, and I think you highlighted it so well, you're exactly right. I think all of our team, not I think all of our team members, all of our consultants have been team members before. And that was something as a team member and also as a business owner, I wanted to make sure when Dental A Team is consulting, we don't go in and we don't say, have to follow this script. Because people push so hard on that. They're like, listen, I'm not your robot. Like I don't want to do that versus here's some tools and here's some resources. Like my job is to be your little fairy godmother, whatever I can do to help you. But at the end of the day, we're looking for outcomes and results. We're not looking for robots. And so if you guys are doing a great job and you're hitting the results, fantastic. And I think Trish, what you said is I think Denali team does a really great job of bringing teams together, helping them put together tangible, actionable plans that are like, this is what we're going to do in here is how we're going to set the goals, but we get the teams to do it. And you and I have another office that we worked with and I thought it was Tricia Lee Ackerman (07:57) Yes. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (08:00) fascinating because people tell us all the time like, well, this associate won't produce or this won't happen. We have an office that hit the highest production that they have ever hit in the history of this dental practice shortly after you and I visited. And I think you and I both sat back and were like, is that causation or coincidence? Like, I think that there's a, they kind of come together and ⁓ it definitely was not a coincidence. It was very intentional. Trish, we put it together. We got the whole team rallied. but we were focusing on what the doctors wanted. And as a by-product, we, I don't know, I feel like we're little magicians as consultants. You focus on what the doctors want, but as a by-product, we weave these threads through like, well, why don't we just try tracking this? Not on their radar, not what they're thinking. And then all of a sudden they start hitting higher goals. They start hitting these things and like, wow. We're like, yeah, it's crazy how when you just track it a little bit, you hit these things. They were concerned about their new patients and they, do you remember like after we left, highest new patient numbers and highest production numbers. And what I think you and I love is when a practice is able to do that and they rally together, you and I can then come back around and be like, we've done it one time. What did we do? What are the things? Let's make that a constant. So this isn't just a one time like flash in the pan because Trish and Kiera showed up or Dental A Team did. It is truly a, this is going to be a sustainable model. So what are your thoughts on that? Because I think some people are like, well, just because you guys show up, then my team does it. But for us, we're big on like, we don't want just flash in the pans, we want long-term sustainability. And I will say these practices are continuing to hit higher goals than what their baseline was before as well. Tricia Lee Ackerman (09:34) Our delivery, you know, it's kind of like, you know, we can't hear, I'm always using analogies. My brain has to take with an analogy. And it's like, you know, people just receive the messages differently from whoever it is delivering it to them. Meaning like, my husband will respond totally different from his business coach than he ever would from me. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (09:39) I love them. This is why you're to dot Trish. Tricia Lee Ackerman (10:00) And I could be saying the same exact thing. There's a, there's, and that's just a relationship dynamic. And so we are just, to these teams and to the doctors, we're, we're different. We're, we're just coming in a different approach with a different perspective, even though some of the messages they may have already been hearing or even sharing with their teams, but they get to hear it just a little bit differently. And, and I think once, and well, I should actually change that, not differently. They hear it more. Like it resonates differently. And then they go into action. But when we show them, you you guys have already done this, because they forget what they've already done. They're so busy. Then you go into the next day of dentistry, then the next day of dentistry. But when we're like, look at, let's go back and look at this piece. You actually did it. So let's help you do it again. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (10:52) Mm-hmm. Tricia Lee Ackerman (10:52) And then they just kind of, go arm in arm. kind of code, we code diagnose with them, just like we want our doctors to code diagnose with their patients. We code diagnose with our teams and we're like, let's do this together. And then, I mean, they're the ones that are really like talk about magicians. They really truly are. mean, they're the ones, they do it. do it and it's so rewarding. the best part of this. You this job is already rewarding enough to be able to share. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (11:10) I do. Tricia Lee Ackerman (11:17) I always love to tell people, I'm no genius, all my material is stolen. I've just had this, I've been so blessed to work with incredible people and learn incredible things that I get to share it with teams. And then these teams, go and they go do it. And it's so fun to sit back and go look at what they did. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (11:32) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes, I agree. And I think if, if you watch the video, I love Trish, you actually like had a little shimmy, like we go with the office. And what it is, is it's Trish walking down the office with these teams. It's partnering with these teams. It's being the cheerleader and the coach. think you need both. think a coach tells you your blind spots. A coach doesn't always tell you what you want to hear. Their job is to be looking down the line. And that's what I obsess about. Like we've, we've been there, we've done it. We've done it multiple times. mean, Trish, shoot you. You've managed hundreds of team members. Like, like you said, it's all stolen. It's all on repeat. It's stuff, it's helping your team have another voice that they trust that they listen to. That's not you. Doctors have told me many times, Kiera, I pay you a lot of money to come in and tell my team exactly what I've told them, but they respect you. They listen to you. They want to know from you. And that is the greatest gift I think we can give our doctors too, is you don't know, have to be the only voice in the room saying this. You've got backup, you've got people and we work with the doctors. it's. Tricia Lee Ackerman (12:21) Yes. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (12:34) We game plan with them before we come into office. We game plan with the office managers. But what I love Trish is in these two different practices that we're talking about, and we even have a third, ⁓ like our Rolodex, if you look and listen. So the first practice, you set goals with them. You had it achievable with them. The second practice, we went through like an entire new patient experience. have them doing office tours. We were working on new patients and we just said, hey, by the way, here's two areas. If doctors start tracking their production, this is going to go up. And all of the doctors, kid you not every doctor went right up but as you listen to it and then the office you just came from it was like how do we help this associate doctor like there's just different dynamics of associate doctor staying leaving what do we pivot how do we fix it all three practices and the reason i want to highlight this is because Dental A Team does not have a one tool fits all approach it is very dynamic of what do these teams need what is going to get these offices motivated and Trish what i love is i still remember it was ⁓ one of the masterminds You came in, you were in a cute little dress and like you were just so just like high on life. And you said, Kiera, I love my job and I love my job. And we are so lucky because we get to change people's lives. And it's so fun for us to be able to do that. And I've thought about that so much because well, yes, we're hitting goals of dentistry. I think we're changing humans at the same time of helping them see that, if we set a goal and we work as a team, we can do things we never thought we'd be able to do. And I think that's magnificent, but Trisha, anything else you have of like, How did you actually get a practice to hit their goals? Two times in a row when they were not hitting, like they've gone, they've got a history of never hitting and now they're hitting it consistently. And they were so close and so committed to the goal. Like how did you, how did you turn a team into that overnight? Tricia Lee Ackerman (14:14) The biggest, okay, I truly do think that the biggest part of that success is getting their buy-in. However, when I ask teams for a buy-in, it's a very, very deliberate and individual buy-in. So it's not just like, as a group, are we all bought in? Are we all gonna do this? I do go through each and every team member and ask, are you bought in? Do you think you could do this with us? Because when we say yes, Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (14:43) Trish, do do that in a public setting or a one-on-one setting? Perfect. Which I don't, I do the same. And I, the reason I highlight that is because you're not getting blanket to group buy-in. You're getting individual buy-in in front of team members, which is critical and pivotal. And I wanted people to hear the difference. Cause also if you're doing it behind closed doors, the whole team doesn't see to hold accountable. So the fact that it's in a public setting, not just like head nods, yes, but each individual person. And what you said is, do you think you can do this? Do you think you can hit the goals with us? Tricia Lee Ackerman (14:45) I do it in public setting. I do it in public. Okay. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (15:13) They are also then self committing. It's like a patient who tells you, yes, I'm gonna get the new patient forms back to you. They are already bought in and committed to doing this and it's brilliant. So continue on. I just wanted to highlight and differentiate that. Tricia Lee Ackerman (15:26) No, thank you, because that was something that I learned a long time ago. And that individual buy-in, there is something that happens when you own it in front of your peers. There's an ownership there. And you don't want to be part of a team and be there and say, yes, I think I can do this, I'm bought in, and then not do it. It's just kind of natural. We don't want to be that person. ⁓ And you know, there have been, I have run into occasions where there, a team will be a little reluctant and I appreciate that because they'll, some teams might go, well, I'm, I'm bought in on almost everything, but I'm like, that's perfect. Let's stop right there and let's get, what do we need to do to help you get past this? But, and so we stop and, that is something like, we don't, we don't negotiate like you have to be bought in. the, you know, there's 22 members and one has a yeah, but That's okay, but we just need to get past it so that it's a real, real sincere buy-in. and Kiera, I have, mean, to this day, and I've been doing this for a good minute, I've never not had a team member not be able to get past the abut ever. Because the rest of their team members, that's when they also step in and say, well, we can help you and we can do this and let's look at it at this angle. So that buy-in definitely does help, it does. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (16:47) Well, I think what you even teach on that Trish is that's healthy debate of a team. If they're the yeah, but great. We want to hear that. We don't want just head nods of yes, but in the back of your mind, you're sitting there like, ⁓ but like, we are saying this goal, but the reality is we don't even have the patience to do that. That's a great call out. So let's talk about that and find out, is this a new patient issue? Is this a motivation issue? Is this a diagnosis issue? There's ways, but teaching teams that the yeah, but Tricia Lee Ackerman (16:52) Yes. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (17:18) is not wrong. The yeah, but that is trying to derail, not bought in, hating your team, that is wrong. Like that is not okay. That is not healthy debate. That is just willful rebellion. And that person is a wrong person and should probably move along and not probably like I would recommend strongly. ⁓ But most of the time I found that teams are not doing it out of willful rebellion. They really do have hesitations and reservations. And if we can just talk about it and find solutions. Tricia Lee Ackerman (17:25) Yes. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (17:46) but you want to also encourage your team to bring these up. Again, not in Willful Rebellion where they're just like, we're not doing this, but in a true like, what are the blind spots? What have we missed? So that way we can actually win the game. That's what we're looking for. And I think it's brilliant. And I think when people hear that, there is no cookie cutter recipe for success. There is your practice, your team, your pieces. But I think the piece that Trish highlighted that we've done with all of them. is you get the whole team by an, go around and I show them what they've committed to for six weeks. They all sign off on it. We put it up in the break room. They all see that every person on the team has signed their name, that they're committed to this at least until they designated deadline. And that I, I don't think, but I do think as an owner, I'll flip to like my owner hat. I think that that can be a hard thing to do as an owner to be like, all right, team, like I heard this great podcast. We're going to do this. I think sometimes this is the magic of having an outside voice come in. to help your team rally, to teach them that this is the way we do it, so then owners can then duplicate this, but you're not the one who's having to set this up initially all on your own as well. Tricia Lee Ackerman (18:51) I totally agree. Totally agree. And it's also change. know, like with success does come typically some change. And that can be scary to some people. mean, again, if you have the team of 20, you might have one that's like, okay, hold on, I want to do this, but... And it's also, it's empowering for us as consultants to remind, consistently remind people that change is uncomfortable as it is. Like it's a person, it's an internal personal growth too. It's not... You're not always just making the practice see a better success. You're succeeding as yourself as an individual by just going through that uncomfortableness. Just that alone. You'll take that with you outside of the office. they grow, yes, they grow professionally, but they do also grow personally. And when I talk about like, love seeing, you know, I love changing the lives of people. I do sometimes get a little emotional about that because The most rewarding piece of this is when you do have a doctor or a team member share that not only has the practice implemented things and tools that have really helped them be more efficient and just happy, but that outside of the office, these individuals have a different skip in their step as well. And that when it comes, when it comes full fold like that, talk about a win. That's powerful right there, that one. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (20:12) Yeah. That is, and I'm so glad you said that because we were actually talking at Dental A Team and we changed it. We actually changed up what our mission and vision were and it's one practice, one life, one person at a time. And what you just said is our mission. It's like, yes, we're changing the practice, but we want to focus on the individuals on helping them change their life on them as a person. And I think it's so magical that we get the playing field of the dental practices that brings us all together, but we're able to change those lives. And so I think Trish, I love the magic, the passion, the camaraderie. I watch you, you turn teams around very quickly and it's fun to watch you work to their nuances. I see you, I feel like you're a chameleon with practices. You morph into who that practice needs. You change and adapt. You change your style. Sometimes you're like over the top flamboyant. Other times you are like solemn and somber. You always have your wit to you that never changes. But you really will adapt to the team and what the team needs at that point. And you have insane results. And so I think for one, we're so lucky to have you two offices are so lucky to work with you. Yes, of course you're welcome. And three, I think for anyone listening, if you're like, I wonder what that might be like in my practice, I wonder like how this would be. I hope you've heard that it is never coming in and ripping apart a team. is taking their successes or wins. heard Trish. They're brilliant. The teams are brilliant. They're already doing 90 % of it. Right. Let's just help them get that one or 2 % change. So they're actually able to get the wins. So if you're interested in that, reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We'd love to come to your practice. We'd love to help you out. We'd love to see if you're a great candidate for it. So reach out, we'd love to help you out. And Trish, thanks for being on our team. Thanks for sharing the wins and ⁓ thanks for truly just changing lives out there. Tricia Lee Ackerman (21:56) Thank you, Kiera. Thank you so much. Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (21:58) Of course, and for all of you listening, thank you for listening and we'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Send us Fan MailProgesterone-in-oil shots, also known as PIO shots, are one of the most feared and hated parts of IVF. They are uncomfortable, intimidating, and often leave patients wondering: “Do I really need this, or is my fertility doctor just being cruel?”In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explains why progesterone matters for implantation, how estrogen and progesterone work together to prepare the uterine lining, and why the type of embryo transfer cycle changes everything.The key question is not simply whether progesterone shots are better than vaginal progesterone. The real question is whether your body is making progesterone on its own.Dr. Amols breaks down the difference between ovulatory or modified natural frozen embryo transfers and programmed frozen embryo transfers. In an ovulatory cycle, the body forms a corpus luteum and produces progesterone naturally. In a programmed cycle, there is no ovulation, no corpus luteum, and therefore no natural progesterone production — meaning all progesterone support must come from medication.This episode also reviews the research comparing daily progesterone-in-oil shots, vaginal progesterone alone, and combination protocols using vaginal progesterone plus intermittent PIO injections. The data shows why vaginal progesterone alone may not be enough in programmed frozen embryo transfer cycles and why many clinics still rely on PIO for reliable progesterone support.Dr. Amols also discusses progesterone blood levels, why levels can be hard to interpret with vaginal progesterone, why clinics may differ in their protocols, and how some patients may be candidates for fewer injections or modified natural cycles.If you are preparing for an embryo transfer, taking progesterone, or wondering why your clinic recommends PIO shots, this episode will help you understand the science behind the shot — and hopefully hate your doctor a little less.The bottom line: fertility doctors are not sadists. Progesterone-in-oil may be a literal pain in the butt, but in some embryo transfer cycles, it has an important purpose.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

On a bright July afternoon in 1986, twenty-five-year-old London estate agent Suzy Lamplugh left her office to show a house to a client her diary noted only as "Mr Kipper," and she was never seen again.==========HOUR ONE: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)==========HOUR TWO: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way – something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special – possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein – but it's rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.
