249: On today's episode of Realfoodology, we're rethinking how we approach healing, immune health, and the everyday products we trust — especially for our families. Courtney sits down with Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper's Naturals, to explore how bee-based remedies like propolis and raw honey can help reinvent the medicine cabinet with functional, natural ingredients that actually support the body. They also discuss why synthetic additives like dyes and corn syrup still show up in OTC meds, why Flonase might not be the best choice, and the emerging science behind nutraceuticals that work with your immune system — not against it.

In this enlightening episode of the Bendy Bodies podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein speaks with otolaryngologist Dr. Shu Das about the unique ENT challenges faced by people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Dr. Das shares his expertise on common issues like tonsil stones, chronic sore throats, and sinus infections, while diving deep into how EDS impacts vocal cords, nasal health, and even hearing. He offers practical tips for managing symptoms, from antibiotic courses to alternative surgical approaches. Packed with advice on avoiding unnecessary surgeries and improving overall quality of life, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating EDS and ENT-related issues. Takeaways: EDS Increases ENT Vulnerability: People with EDS are prone to ENT issues like tonsil stones, chronic sore throats, sinus infections, and vocal cord dysfunction due to their connective tissue laxity. Avoid Unnecessary ENT Surgeries: Surgery should be a last resort for EDS patients due to poor healing and higher complication risks. Alternatives like intracapsular tonsillectomy can minimize trauma when surgery is necessary. Antibiotic Treatment Requires Adjustment: EDS patients often need longer and earlier courses of antibiotics for sinus infections and other ENT issues to ensure full recovery. Hot Showers Are Healing: Heat and steam are beneficial for managing sinus issues, ear pain, and overall EDS symptoms, making hot showers a simple yet effective tool. Hot showers can be challenging for those with POTS and or MCAS, but for those who can tolerate them, they can be very helpful. Steroids Can Do More Harm Than Good: Intranasal steroids like Flonase should be avoided in EDS patients, as they weaken already fragile connective tissues, potentially exacerbating problems.

This episode is for parents looking for alternative solutions to common childhood ailments like constipation, eczema, chronic ear infections, allergies, ADHD and more. Prescription and over the counter medications are routinely prescribed for these conditions, but this is a “band-aid” approach and doesn't get to the root cause. Our guest is Jessica Pawlicki, a board-certified nurse practitioner credentialed through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She is trained in functional medicine and an active member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. She is the owner of Well-Rooted Pediatrics and her passion is empowering parents to find their voice while finding the root cause of their child's symptoms. We learn: Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications are a band-aid approach to childhood ailments, often have side effects and do not address the root cause Parent-led care empowers parents to make informed decisions about their children's health and treatment options Alternative solutions for constipation (why you may not want to use Miralax long-term!) Causes of chronic ear infections (getting to the root cause and avoiding tubes!) The link between eczema and gut health Possible root causes of ADHD and solutions to improve symptoms Natural solutions for teething and fevers Solutions for environmental allergies (other than OTC meds) and why long-term use of Flonase isn't safe Why waiting to feed babies solids until 6 months is preferred and when to introduce grains for optimal gut health Connect with Jessica: https://www.instagram.com/wellrootedpediatrics/ https://wellrootedpediatrics.com/ Thank you for listening to our show.

Low Anxiety, Going Places In this episode, I give a shoutout to Kevin for Montana info, share insights from Andrew Pulrang's Disability Thinking, and discuss prepping Dax Pierson interview questions. I also talk about my kids' haircuts, our neighborhood, music, therapy, hospital visits, and my recent solo trips and poetry publications. Shout Outs Shout outs to Kevin. thanks for the info about Montana. Kevin does comic book reviews on his YouTube channel Under The Cowl Of MS. Disability Thinking Now reading Andrew Pulrang's Disability Thinking Substack. I've always been partial to the combination of disability with thinking, the guy's been on another level for a long time. Writing Dax Pierson interview questions. I have been lagging, trying to be recovered fully before doing the interview. I think it may be time to move forward. I'll Gladly Pay Tomorrow For A Haircut Today After months of hair drama, i took my kids to Supercuts and John's long hair was over in a moment. He was happy. With his new haircut, he's ready for summer. I'm glad that our neighborhood is a protected cul-de-sac. It means the kids can play outside with the other kids in the neighborhood and there's hardly any car traffic. New Music: Magic Fig, "Magic Fig" Magic Fig. San Francisco psych band. I heard it reviewed at the KFJC staff meeting and I ordered it from the group's bandcamp page. Cool new record – local band – insane amount of styles – dreamlike hooks – psychedelic SF – full sonic fireworks, Silver Current Label – over the top – combo Sid Barrett mixed with HR Puff n' Stuff KFJC Music Notes 6/5/24 24-Hour yogurt is smoother than 8-hour yogurt, go figure. I went to the Express Care at the Eden Valley Medical Center bc my ear was feeling blocked, like it had somebody's thumb stuck in it. They prescribed Flonase and something else, and they've been making it easier to breathe through the machine My anxiety is low, put fast away, like it's in the past. My talk therapist thinks it may be due to the EMDR therapy that we've been doing. Excursions I drove the kids to Foothill College where we went to KFJC and we hung out with Jack Tar and Good Karma before having snack on the quad, and then we drove to Hayward. In Hayward, we went to Burger King, a place the kids wanted to go badly after seeing the commercial a million times. Territorial Expansion The next day, I went to Oakland on my own. I've learned how to strap the wheelchair onto my car by myself. On Father's Day, I took the kids to Berkeley. We went to Amoeba Music, Moe's Books, Games of Berkeley, and had slices of pizza for lunch. My new expanded base of operations includes Oakland, Berkeley and Los Altos. Acceptances My ears were burning, my vibe was strong. Three poems were accepted for publication in two different journals. After a long gap, they were accepted in the same day by editors working half a world apart. It'll be my first time publishing my work in another country, and also my first time reprinting a poem. Stay tuned, you'll be the first to know..
Jay Leedy probably had a bunch of options open to him when he decided he'd done his job with Sony's pro display team, and it might have surprised some of his industry friends when he signed on with a much smaller company, New York-based Videri, as its Senior VP for Strategic Alliances. It didn't surprise me, because Videri has been on a bit of a tear in the last few months, hiring well-connected and respected senior people away from other companies active in digital signage. That came out of a $20 million fundraising round announced late last year. I did a podcast about a year ago with Videri CEO Wes Nicol, so I didn't want to spend too much time talking again about Videri's product and services. We get into that and what attracted Leedy, but what I was really interested in hearing about was his point of view on the CMS software market. His prior role with Sony was building up the digital signage software ecosystem, which involved talking to and looking at scores of different companies. He eventually onboarded some 90 in his three-plus years there, about 70 of them CMS software firms. So Leedy has a pretty unique perspective on what's out there, and how companies differentiate themselves in what remains a very crowded CMS software market. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT Jay Leedy, thank you for joining me. You've had some big changes in the last few weeks. Jay Leedy: Thank you. I have. Thanks for having me, Dave. It's great to hear your voice. Yeah, you don't want to see me. Jay Leedy: It's been a couple of months since I saw you last at ISE, but yeah, some changes that were on the horizon at ISE kind of came to fruition over the last several months, and I'm happy to say I'm in my fourth week, almost complete with my fourth week here at Videri. Wow, you're almost past probation. Are you going to make it? Jay Leedy: They haven't kicked me out yet. My wife told me that the paycheck showed up in our bank account yesterday. Yay! Things are rocking. I knew you when you were with Convergent and Diversified then you went over to Sony. Am I missing anything there? Jay Leedy: I think that's the extent of my career in this space. I got introduced to integrations prior to moving to Convergent through a company that had point-of-purchase display manufacturing as their core and had a division that focused on, what we called Intelligent Loss Prevention. We were basically importing a lot of technology solutions to solve theft prevention in retail and that's how I got exposed to systems integration, and when I saw digital signage as a part of that, I naturally gravitated toward that. I saw there was going to be a big growth arc and fortunately, I've been right so far. We can get into what you were doing with Sony because I'm intrigued by the role you had and the unique perspective that was offered, but I'm curious because when you started thinking, okay, I've done my job here with Sony and what's my next thing? What compelled you to go to Videri, I suspect you had a number of options. Jay Leedy: Yeah, it's a good question. The little background that I just gave you is in part why Videri was really appealing to me. You're right. I had really broad exposure to the market across a number of technologies, not just digital signage, and was considering options outside of digital signage, to be perfectly honest, but the reason that Videri was compelling for me was a couple of reasons. One is the, very strong push they were making into the market with some clear funding and a product offering that was differentiated in displays that were very thin and lightweight looking and appealed to the sensibilities of retailers and designers and the folks that I really like engaging with on the creative side of our business, combined with software that really makes it easy to make these things pop and, deliver what we call orchestration of content across multiple canvases of displays to unify those. But there were some other things that went into that as well. I met Rob Avery, who had recently joined the company from Scala, at your event at ISE. I'd already met Wes Nicol, the CEO, about a year prior, and then Steven Jenkins, who I'd worked with at Diversified, had recently joined as the CRO along with Nathan Jones, who I'd also worked with as a Managing Director for North America. So there are already some pieces in place, and when I met Rob and we chatted briefly about his point of view on where we are versus where he wanted to take the software on the roadmap, that really clicked with me. Then we announced Jeff Griffin coming in as a retail technology guru and a guy who was at the genesis of what we called Walmart TV. So it wasn't even digital signage when he was involved with that deployment. So he's had a long history of selling into that market, and really the last piece to fall into place for me was, we secured, Tom Ross from NowSignage and I think he must eat energy bars constantly. He has the most energy and passion for the channel of any guy that I've met in this industry, and I've met a lot. All of those things coming together was really a big part of making that decision for me. Yeah, it's interesting. I've told the story a few times of couple of years ago at DSC in Vegas, some company called Videri had reached out to me and said, could you come to our suite at ARIA and have a look at our pots and pans? And I said, I'm super busy, and so on, and they bugged me and on the last day in the afternoon, I was dead tired, but I said, okay, fine, because I was staying next door and I didn't know a damn thing about them and met them, walked this endless hallway to get to their suite and they showed me these flat panel displays. I thought, oh, dear God, I've walked all this way to see some skinny displays, but then they started to explain what they're up to, the business model and how they were working with a very large Austrian energy drink brand that they're not allowed to officially talk about, and I thought, now I get it, and over those, intervening two years, the company has really grown in terms of marketplace visibility and everything else and they have a somewhat unique, not entirely unique, but somewhat unique product. Jay Leedy: Yeah, I agree. In fact, I was registered to go to that same event but couldn't get there because I was super busy that week. I also didn't have a relationship with them yet. So I didn't yet feel obligated, but I didn't see their product until Digital Signage Week, or maybe it was NRF, one of the two where they had a hospitality event at their offices in New York and I made my way there and I was as compelled as you were because of what they were doing but also where they were saying they were going. And you're right. The visibility for Videri has been exponential. I think as contemporaries in our sphere of the industry have gotten more visibility to their hardware and a better understanding of whether software can cause the entire industry to really lean in and that's been the case. I think when I announced that I was leaving Sony combined with two days later announcing that I was joining Videri, I never had as much web traffic on my LinkedIn as those two days. I think it was something on the order of 15,000 impressions between the two posts and that tells me that there's a lot of people who were really intrigued about what this new company is and as I've gotten deeper into the organization and started to really look around at the core architecture of our software, which is an Android-based SoC. So all of our displays run Android 12, which offers a lot of opportunity for third-party solutions to run alongside ours, or in some cases, in place of our software with our firmware being the glue that binds the delivery of that software, and I think there's a lot of opportunities in that regard as well, right? My goal will really be to build out an ecosystem and a partner strategy very similar to what I was doing at Sony and fortunately, I have a lot of existing relationships that I was already working with that can parlay right into that, that are all dialed into that Android approach, but I think Android, in particular, was compelling for me because it has become a de facto standard in many respects and in a lot of cases with retailers, because of the security components to it, and our particular flavor of Android is locked down, which is really appealing. all the stars really aligned there. It's interesting because Android, if you asked people out five years ago, they would probably say no, not going anywhere near that. Jay Leedy: I know when I was Diversified, it was an absolute non-starter, but the market's changed, and fortunately the strength of Android and the security protocols have changed, and I think it's you and I've talked about a little bit, right? The impression and kind of point of view on Android Deployed in enterprise environments has changed as well. I think largely because of the broad use of MDMs or device management solutions and familiarity with those tools, with IT admins having a level of comfort with those. At the end of the day, displays for digital signage are IOT devices that have to be managed and locked down in a similar fashion. So something that's familiar just resonates with those decision makers. You mentioned a couple of minutes ago third party suppliers or providers. Are you saying, and you can correct me if I'm getting this wrong, that if I'm another CMS software company, I could, in theory, drive Videri displays? Jay Leedy: Absolutely, and we've already tested a handful of them. I think we've got about five so far. We've also tested some lift-and-learn solutions that are quasi-CMS but would also be able to run in concert with our CMS. That'd be like Glass Media stuff? Jay Leedy: It's more like Sign Metrics. We're on ARC over at Pick‘n'Watch. He's got a really interesting solution that's all Bluetooth and UDP-based. We're also looking at wireless solutions for audience measurement, the likes of Blue Zoo or Movia Media. Some of the CMS platforms that we've tested, run the gamut of the kind of those that are known more heavily in the space, like Spp Space and Corbett, and then others that are maybe lesser known like Play Signage or one of the newer ones that, as you mentioned earlier, the idea of a hobby business that's not yet full bore or fully funded or has a sales and marketing team behind it, what have you… There's a company called AbleSign that's got some pretty capable products. Largely a lot of these are available as progressive web app options where the device management capabilities of their full-featured apps are stripped out and therefore don't present a conflict with some of the remote capabilities that are the device management capabilities that we bring to bear. But, in the longer term, we'll also test scenarios where maybe a full-featured solution could be used or what we see more as a trend; why I was looking maybe outside of digital signage, in other technology providers, is that, especially in North America, and I think that this will cascade to other markets is that enterprise clients, in particular, have a point of view on device management. So, it was really important when I was at Sony to be compatible with whatever infrastructure decisions had been made upstream so that we could just say yes to projects and be specified regardless of what the requirements were. To some extent, that's a consideration with Videri's approach as well. It's interesting, with this idea that you can work with other CMS software companies. I'm trying to envision that phone call or that meeting on their end, wouldn't they be saying that you have a software that competes with our software? Jay Leedy: Yeah, but I think we also have a really attractive line of hardware, right? The kind of customer that will gravitate towards our hardware may, in some cases, already have an investment and an existing state of software that they don't want to deviate from. So it may make sense for us to offer our hardware with some recurring fees for the support and device management components while also being able to enable content management on a familiar platform that is more broadly used across their estate. Those are scenarios that we're gaming out. What drew my attention in the tippet area is how the square displays in particular were something that could replace old beverage brands' neon or plastic backlit signs in bars and restaurants. It was something that was dynamic, the quick ROI that would come out of that, but I've seen Videri in particular marketing, multi-screen video cone matrix. I think there's another word you guys use. Jay Leedy: We call it an orchestration, but yeah, it'd be a mosaic or a configuration of multi-canvas screens that, in some cases, we're seeing incorporated with other visual merchandising elements or other artwork elements in hospitality applications, for example. You might like static, traditional artwork and imagery interspersed with dynamic elements that are part of Videri. The entire wall can very easily be mapped, and content pushed and split across the displays so that it makes sense visually without a lot of hardware to deliver that, and I think that's really a unique element of our software. Yeah, and I like the ability to mix and match squares and rectangles display canvases and I know Samsung had a square product years ago, and it came and went because they like to sell hundreds of thousands, not thousands of units, but it came back with this and because manufacturers in Asia are now able to natively manufacture square things instead of cutting a rectangle and turning it into a square, redoing the electronics and costing a lot of money. Jay Leedy: Yeah, the run rate on our square product versus the other ones is probably not as high, to be fair, but those unique shapes and, I think, more specifically, smaller form factors, the lighter weight, the bezels are only probably about three quarters of an inch thick. The fact that they're low-voltage offers a lot of flexibility. We've got a shop fitter or a point-of-purchase display manufacturer in Germany that's developed a unique bracket that allows these displays to be moved around in their modular system. The entire system is powered with low voltage. It's a company called Visplay, and they've done some really interesting stuff. These powered, essentially track systems or grids have ports, and the brackets are designed to automatically pick up power as soon as they do. Once they hit the Wi-Fi, they just start playing content again. So it gives the retailer or the shop fitter a lot of modularity, and they don't have to get a technician on-site to make these changes. It's something that they can do with store staff and that's really appealing as well. That's interesting. I've been doing a lot of reading and paying a lot of attention to the whole retail media networks landscape of late because it's obviously got a lot of traction, even though much of the spending now is not in the store but billboards and online, but it's going that way and I've said and heard from people that it's not going to be a second wave of stores, putting big ass LCD displays on every available surface like it maybe was in the 2010s when athletic wear retailers, in particular, were doing that. It's going to have to be smaller displays and interesting displays that fit into the design and are designed from the start or ones that don't get in the way of merchandising. Jay Leedy: Yeah, exactly. I think we've seen that in various gestations over the last several years, especially in consumer packaged goods, brands will incorporate digital elements as part of a turnkey fixture package. It's one of the things I was working on with Diversified prior to the pandemic, and unfortunately, the pandemic killed the momentum on a project that was really promising for us. But it was in partnership with Westrock, and the idea was that, as Diversified, we would be the integrator and managed service provider to support design, build, and ultimately manage and service these things once deployed. Westrock designed the fixture and also what they called kit packing. So they brought in inventory from their partner at the time, GlaxoSmithKline. They fully merchandised a display fitted with graphics and then added our digital elements with an LTE modem cradle point. As soon as the store personnel received it, which they wielded into place, they didn't have to have a technician. Essentially, they had a turnkey solution that, as soon as it was plugged in, called home and had a range of content that would be played based on a number of parameters. There was an integrated camera. So, I think there's a really appealing turnkey solution that doesn't have to rely on the retailer's data infrastructure, which is usually fairly constrained. This gives the brands a lot more freedom for placement but a lot more control over execution as well as the ability to, as you rightly said, put digital in places where you wouldn't expect it, and that's a hallmark of our approach, right? These smaller screens are unique form factors that are less obtrusive and don't detract from the merchandising but actually can complement it, and you're right, I think retail media networks will manifest in that way so that it's not an afterthought. It's not a screen that's hanging from the ceilings left in front of the end cap, but it's actually integrated into the end cap or into the merchandising fixture or what have you. So it really does the job of carrying the brand message, and I think there's a lot of appeal there, especially in lifestyle brands. Especially for a product where, through our orchestration, we could draw attention to an entire category or shop within a store rather than just having individual merchandising fixtures, each with its own message. The adoption barrier that I've encountered when I've talked to brands about this, what you were just describing is they like it, but they only need it for six weeks or four weeks or some defined campaign term, and even though they may be a big CPG brand with all kinds of products they're so siloed that you couldn't just say, “This shampoo digital fixture could be a body lotion fixture for round two, and you could share it across different ones.” They'd say, “Yeah, but that would never happen.” Jay Leedy: Yeah, that was actually the concept of the one that we were working on with Westrock and GlaxoSmithKline. So the idea was that it'd be a seasonal product that was focused on at the time, Flonase and Claritin, and then once the season for allergies was over, they would pivot to another product that was better suited to the next season. That was exactly the concept. I think you're right. There is a seasonality to these activities, but the beauty of digital is that you can effectively reskin these things and repurpose them. So long as you have an intelligent design and the rest of the fixture to accommodate a range of products, and basically send in another kit of graphics and merchandise to correspond with that in partnership with a kit packer like Westrock. You can clarify your role with Sony, which you were there for two or three years, I think. But what I found intriguing now that you're not there is that your gig was basically developing partnerships for Sony to use its smart displays. When you started, there were, I think, one or two, maybe, and by the time you left, I think you were past 80 different partners. So you had this unique perspective of talking to a whole bunch of CMS software companies about what they had and analyzing whether there was a fit, and I'm just curious, having seen all these different ones and now somewhat detached from them, what your impression? Are they all the same, which is, I think what most people would think? Jay Leedy: Yeah, I was there for three and a half years, and you're right. When I came on, there was exactly one product that had gone through any kind of formal due diligence or QA, and so my program was really about building out that ecosystem with some formalities and processes, and I was fortunate enough to talk to and onboard roughly 90 different technologies that were, I'd say maybe 70% of those were digital signage and the rest were spread between unified communications or AV over IP as a software-defined solution. We also had a range of telemetry and UCC solutions as well. I think I had exposure to roughly 140 companies or so. On the CMS front, I know Invidus recently did a report that you commented on in your blog as well, and you're not wrong, for the most part, a lot of CMS platforms, at their core, do the same thing. The difference is how they do it. For me, the flexibility in their architecture, as I mentioned earlier, the idea of progressive web apps that decouple some of the real differentiation early in the market, that was an all-in-one solution with device management, has kind of evolved to the point where customers want flexibility and deciding and decoupling that device management from CMS but there's also, I think, the extent to which these companies have invested in APIs and manage those APIs and other data connectors and understand interoperability sets them apart. I think for me, with Videri and our clear focus on retail and creative agencies and optimizing and enabling workflows that would be API dependent, as well as a cloud-based SaaS that has the flexibility to be able to grow and evolve, in that direction, that was what was appealing for me. It's not to say that Videri was the only one with all those marks ticked in their offering, but as we talked about earlier, had some other organizational considerations that really were the determining factor for me coming over here. Without naming names or anything, did you see companies that were clearly more advanced versus ones that were maybe building on something that they've had for many years, and they're just incrementally bolting new capability onto an existing software stack? Jay Leedy: Yeah, absolutely. I think it's true for any company in the tech space that, at some point, you have to acknowledge that your technical debt load is too much and completely re-architect the solution. We've seen that happen with a number of companies in our space. There are a number of others that continue to struggle with that technical debt and architecture that just doesn't lend itself to meeting the expectations of the market. Were you recommending the key things that, whether you're a solutions partner or an end user, they should look for if they want to be future-proofed and really modern? Jay Leedy: First and foremost, these days, it's an API-first strategy. We need to ensure that There's a robust enough set of APIs to enable baseline telemetry and interoperability with a number of other API-first solutions. I think about, in particular, what's happening with digital transformation in large consultancies like Accenture, EY, and Deloitte. A lot of those hinge on moving from on-premise to cloud-based solutions for a range of business applications. If anybody listening to this podcast is using Office 365, for example, there are a number of third-party solutions that plug into those, obviously with a fee involved. However, to enable that, you have to have the right architecture, and digital signage isn't that different. We talk a little bit in this industry about headless and the idea of headless means, I think, escapes some people. I think the idea of no or low code development also, I think, escapes some people, but both of those are similar in that they enable. A much lower cost of entry to get a lot more functionality because the architecture is built in such a way that it can just essentially plug in like a Lego, and you can create building blocks that are predefined, versus having to have a linear development approach that can be really cost intensive. Yeah, I was on a call yesterday, and it was interesting. They were talking very much about that. From my perspective, if you have a solution that has a distinct login and you have to do everything digital signage through that login, with no real hooks into anything else, that's a big challenge, particularly for larger organizations that want to use one tool set. It's going to push out to whatever the endpoint is and whatever that endpoint is communicating. Jay Leedy: Yeah, and also just thinking about all the different ways content can be generated now. There's been a lot of buzz around generative AI, but the rules for content and distribution largely have been in most of these CMS platforms for a long time. But a means of automating those rules and creating if this, then that scenario or ingesting data that can then drive outcomes and content. that's not necessarily core to a lot of those platforms, or leveraging API calls directly from digital asset management tools and leveraging all of the metadata tagging logic that is built into those, and pulling those directly into the content strategy also necessarily isn't native to a lot of CMS platforms. So I think those are all kinds of key things to consider when making a selection or at least knowing, if it's possible downstream, should your company mature to the point where they want to leverage those types of tools. If people want to catch up with you and talk about what you're doing with Videri, I know they can find you online, obviously, but you'll be at Infocomm? Jay Leedy: I will be at Infocomm and the Digital Signage Federation mixer in Tampa in about two weeks. Either way, I'd love to see you and continue the conversation. All right, Jay. It's great to catch up. Jay Leedy: Great to see you as well, Dave.

Dr. Shuba Iyengar, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Allermi, is focused on providing better care and access to allergy treatments. Allermi has developed a personalized approach to diagnosing allergies and personalizing nasal spray formulations to provide a more precise solution to those suffering from nasal congestion, coughing, sinus pain, and itchy eyes. While there are seasonal allergies, doctors are seeing an increase in allergies related to climate change, pollution, and other changes in the environment. Shuba explains, "We want to make sure that everyone knows that allergies are a chronic problem and affect your everyday life. I have allergies, so I completely sympathize with people who have bad allergies. But when you get allergies, what's happening is the inside of your nose is getting a little bit swollen. But to some extent, in the beginning, you can kind of compensate. You can get by. So, if you can't breathe to one side, you'll breathe through the other. If you can't breathe through the side, you'll start to mouth breathe." "As allergists and even general doctors, the toolbox we have to treat allergies is okay but not great for everyone. A lot of times, if they can see their doctor, people might get a prescription nasal spray or be advised to take an oral antihistamine or an allergy pill. They might go to the drugstore and try to buy an over-the-counter nasal spray like Flonase or Nasacort. And for a lot of people, these medicines don't quite work as well or not enough." #Allermi #Allergies #AllergyCare #Telehealth allermi.com Download the transcript here

I'm Dr. Lucy McBride, and this is "Beyond the Prescription." Today, it's just you and me. Every other week this season, I'll talk to you like I do my patients, pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, peeling back the layers of everyday medical problems I see. In clinical practice for over 20 years, I've found that patients generally want the same things, a framework to evaluate their risks, [00:00:30] access to the truth and the courage to face it, and tools and actionable information to be healthy, mentally and physically. So, whether it's managing weight, cholesterol, cancer, or mental health issues, we all want to feel more in control of our health. Here, I'll talk to you about how to be a little more okay tomorrow than you are today, and how to be healthy from the inside out. Let's go.Today is a little ditty about COVID-19, my friend and foe for the past three years. Something you have probably thought quite a lot about, that has probably occupied a fair amount of real estate in your brain and in your everyday life for the past three years. Let's talk today about where we are now, where we have been, and where we're going with this virus. It's the three-year anniversary of the World Health Organization's declaration of the pandemic. That was on March 11th, 2020, and over the last three years, we have learned so much. We have [00:01:30] learned about the virus, about immunity; we've learned about how to protect the most vulnerable among us.We've also learned about ourselves. We've all had to reckon with grief, loss, uncertainty, and significant vulnerability. So, let's take a minute to talk about COVID itself. We'll talk about symptoms, testing, isolation, the vaccines, boosters, and where we might go from here. Okay. So, first of all, [00:02:00] let's acknowledge, COVID is here in perpetuity. It has now been woven into the fabric of our everyday lives, whether we like it or not. It is endemic. Endemic means hospitals are no longer overwhelmed from COVID-19. It means that the vast majority of people in this country and around the world have some sort of immunity to the virus, either from the vaccine or from past infection, and that we have widely-available vaccines and therapeutics. Endemic does not mean that we are done with COVID-19. [00:02:30] No, no. COVID and COVID risk are something we will have to reckon with here on out.What's happening with the virus right now? Well, the virus is here. In D.C., I'm seeing a couple patients a week with COVID-19. They mostly have typical cold or flu symptoms and are doing generally very well with at-home remedies like Tylenol, Advil, hydration, and rest. Now, some of my patients have been sicker, like patients who are older, who have underlying health conditions, like lung disease, for example. But it's important to note [00:03:00] that they're as sick as they probably would have been with another respiratory virus—one that we have known about since pre-pandemic times. For example, flu, RSV, metapneumovirus, parainfluenza virus. In other words, we have seen these kinds of respiratory viruses since the beginning of time, and COVID, in the vaccine era, has been added to the list of viruses that we will now be susceptible to, and for whom it is particularly potentially dangerous for people who are at higher risk in general.What about Paxlovid? [00:03:30] So, Paxlovid is the oral antiviral medication that is FDA-approved, and appropriate for patients who are at particularly high risk for serious COVID outcomes. Who do I prescribe it to in the spring of 2023? The truth is, not many people, because at this point in the pandemic, most people have had COVID-19. Most patients, at least my patients, have had the vaccine, and that protection, that hybrid immunity, the combination of vaccine-induced and infection-acquired immunity, is marvelously protective against serious COVID outcomes, such that Paxlovid is not really necessary. Paxlovid has some downsides as well. So, when the upsides are minimal, and the downsides are not zero, it's worth a conversation to explain, not to hang our hat on Paxlovid as a panacea, and more importantly, to have confidence in our own immune system, and the marvelously effective vaccines, to protect us when we need it. Do I still prescribe Paxlovid? Absolutely. It's just a nuanced discussion, and one that the headlines really can't capture.So, what about booster shots? Are we going to need a booster [00:04:30] shot every fall, like we need the flu shot? Well, the short answer is we don't know. Right now, public health agencies are predicting that they'll roll out an annual COVID shot like we do the flu shot. And this fall, when we're indoors, in crowded, poorly-ventilated spaces, we might need a booster shot. But that's not based on any particular science. It's based on the emerging evidence that there's a seasonal component to COVID, like there is for so many respiratory viruses. What that projection is not based on is the clear evidence that everyone will absolutely need a booster in the fall. That would not be accurate to project. In fact, right now, in 2023, immunity from the vaccine and from past infection continue to do a marvelous job at protecting us where it counts, preventing severe disease, and mitigating but not blocking transmission.Remember that the vaccine can no longer protect against infection. The current variants, which are Omicron sub-sub-variants, are so highly contagious [00:05:30] that they outskirt the antibodies made by vaccination and from past infection. What that means is that you can get 3, 4, 5, 10 vaccine doses with the current vaccine formulation and still get COVID-19. You're just very unlikely to land in the hospital, and your symptoms will be mitigated if you've had a recent vaccine or recent bout of COVID itself. So, when people talk about waning immunity, that refers only to the antibody levels that inevitably and normally fall over time, three to four months after a shot or after an infection. If our antibody levels did not wane after exposure to a vaccine dose or a virus, our blood would be a thick milkshake full of antibodies. So indeed, those antibody levels go down with time, but our immunity against serious outcomes is lasting. How long will it last? We don't know. But at least for right now, people who have had vaccine doses for their age and underlying health conditions, [00:06:30] and/or who've had COVID itself, are not landing in the hospital from COVID-19 more than they would have from other viruses at this moment.Are people still being hospitalized for COVID and people dying from COVID-19? They are. And these are people who are our most high-risk patients. They are also patients in the hospital who have so many underlying health conditions that COVID tips them over the edge. This has been true since the beginning of time, that viral infections often tip the balance [00:07:00] in an otherwise very fragile patient. This is not to dismiss the loss and ongoing deaths from COVID-19. It's to frame it in the context of other respiratory viruses, so that you can better understand where we are now and where we might be going.What about long COVID? Well, the latest data are very reassuring. It looks like the tail of symptoms from COVID-19 are not a whole lot different from other respiratory viruses. Fatigue, difficulty mounting the appropriate blood pressure response when going from lying to sitting to standing, [00:07:30] tachycardia, exercise intolerance, all of these symptoms can be indeed very debilitating, but it turns out the typical symptoms of long COVID are akin to symptoms of the long tail from other viruses.Are there exceptions? Absolutely. Are some people uniquely susceptible to COVID-19? Yes. Is COVID-19 a virus that can turn on genes that were latent? Absolutely. I talked to a patient today whose child developed type 1 diabetes one [00:08:00] month after recovering from COVID-19. They have no family history of diabetes. What seems clear is that the child developed diabetes as a direct result of the virus. It has long been known that viruses can turn on latent genes, and COVID-19 is no exception. It can turn on autoimmunity. It can tickle someone who has a genetic predisposition to, for example, rheumatoid arthritis. It can mess with our immune system in unusual ways. But the majority of people with COVID-19 make a full recovery, and the tail of symptoms go away with time. There's some interesting emerging evidence that a medication called metformin, which is one of the standards of care for type 2 diabetes, can help with the inflammation of long COVID. There's also some interesting data in the pipeline about Paxlovid, and other protease inhibitors like Paxlovid, that may help with the long tail of COVID-19 symptoms, that might help mitigate the long tail of COVID-19 symptoms.Let's talk about how to protect ourselves from COVID-19 here on out. [00:09:00] Let's start with my favorite/not so favorite subject, masking. Masking has become the most incredible political football I've ever seen. I have gotten myself so entangled in the mask debate that I almost can't talk about it, but I need to, and I want to. Data from the Cochrane Review on masking came out a couple weeks ago. The Cochrane Review is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on any specific topic, like masking, and it's really considered [00:09:30] the gold standard in evidence-based medicine. So, when the Cochrane Review comes out with a statement, people tend to listen. Here's what they said about masks. "Mask mandates failed to reduce transmission of COVID-19 during the pandemic."I'm just gonna repeat that, for people on the back. Mask mandates have not been shown to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Let's break that down. Does this mean that masks do not work? It does not. [00:10:00] It means that the public policies that asked people to wear masks in schools and workplaces, on public transportation, did nothing to halt the transmission of COVID-19. Why that is, we could talk about all day long, but the fact of the matter is that mandates have had no meaningful effect, and I will say, because I just can't help myself, that this data has been around since at least 2021. Deep breath. Exhale. So, does this mean that masks [00:10:30] don't work on individuals? It does not. Masks certainly can work on individuals to protect the wearer, but only if the mask is high-grade, well-fitted, and worn consistently. Should you wear a mask in your public transportation, in your conference, at your workplace? At this point, it's really up to you. There's no role for mandates, in my opinion, given the absence of data to show that they worked, and given that this virus is here in perpetuity, and, in my humble opinion, there was [00:11:00] never a role for mask mandates. What I do think is that people should be given the facts and the information about how effective masks can be for the wearer if and when they use them appropriately.I recommend wearing a mask, if you want to, to help reduce the likelihood of getting infected with COVID-19, with the understanding that they aren't that effective. They can help. They are another layer. The setting in which I would definitely wear a mask to protect myself against COVID-19 is, for example, in an ICU room that is teeming with virus, in which I was the medical provider, I would wear a fit-tested N95 mask in that room. But in 2023, with most of us having immunity from the vaccine and from past infection, a mask that is sort of loosely around your face, that you take on and off for eating and drinking, on the airplane or at the restaurant, is really wearing us for protection at this point. I don't shame anyone for wearing a mask. It is up to their unique risk tolerance, [00:12:00] and it is certainly an added layer, albeit weak, to help mitigate the risk. Better than any mask, however, to protect us from getting infected with COVID, or reinfected, is to open doors, open windows, and avoid crowded, indoor, poorly-ventilated spaces.And then I think it's important to zoom out on the conversation about risk. There is a risk of getting COVID-19 wherever we go now, certainly more indoors, and more in crowded spaces. There is also the potential harm of having to live in [00:12:30] fear and to hem in our lives to avoid a respiratory virus against which most of us are already immune. My job as a physician is not to tell people how much risk they want to undertake, how much they should sacrifice to not get a virus. It's my job, rather, to arm people with the facts, tools, and information they need to make appropriate risk decisions based on their preferences, goals, and tolerance for disease.The principle in public health is called harm reduction. Harm reduction is a principle that acknowledges [00:13:00] that risk is everywhere, that we cannot mitigate risk to zero, and that the goal of medicine and public health is to help people mitigate risk without pretending that we can eliminate it. So, what do you do now if you get COVID-19? Should you call your doctor? Should you stay at home? How long should you isolate? Do you test? A lot of my patients are not even calling me and telling me they have COVID. They will tell me at their annual physical, oh yeah, I had COVID a month ago, I tested positive on the rapid test, I stayed at home until I felt better, and then I went back to work. [00:13:30]The rapid tests continue to be an excellent tool. The rapid tests are contagiousness tests. The rapid tests tell you when you have high enough levels of virus in your nose to A, make a diagnosis of COVID, but more importantly, they tell you that you're contagious. When a rapid test is positive, it means you're contagious to other people. When the rapid test is negative, it means you're no longer contagious. The rapid tests tell you when you have enough virus in your nose to infect someone else. How long those COVID-19 rapid home [00:14:00] tests are positive after you have symptoms or test positive is so variable. Some people test positive for one day. Some people test positive for 10 days. What the rapid antigen tests cannot do is they cannot tell you the degree of contagiousness. They can't tell you what is probably true, which is that 10 days out, you're probably less contagious than you are at 3 days, even if you're positive on both of those days. When you should go back to work is really up to you and your risk tolerance. Most likely, just like with [00:14:30] other viruses, when you've been fever-free for 24 hours, your symptoms are improving, and you've got your normal energy back, you're probably not that contagious. But still, the rapid antigen tests are considered contagiousness tests.What about a PCR test? So, the PCR test, remember, the PCR tests are still the gold standard for diagnosis. In other words, if someone has a stuffy nose, sore throat, and congestion, and they're negative on a rapid test, that means that they're not contagious with COVID-19. It doesn't mean they don't have COVID. So, some of those patients, I'll bring in and do a PCR [00:15:00] test for a flu, COVID, RSV, and that will tell us, with good certainty, whether or not they have those three viruses. For many of my patients recently, they're negative on the home test and positive on the PCR. Why? Because the PCR is extremely sensitive, and the rapid test being negative simply means they're not contagious in that moment. How do you distinguish between spring allergies, flu, RSV, COVID, and all the other things? The answer is testing. A rapid home antigen test, again, means you're not contagious with COVID, but it doesn't mean you don't have COVID. So if you're wondering, go get a PCR test with your doctor.You can also do a really simple thing which is, if you typically get allergy symptoms this time of year, you might want to get back on your allergy medications, like Allegra and Flonase, and see if your symptoms abate, and if they do, you probably have your diagnosis. If you have any questions about your symptoms, you should see your personal physician.Here's my final note about COVID-19. I think it's very important to acknowledge to ourselves that we have all experienced some sort of loss. Whether you lost your fourth-grade classroom experience for two years, your high school prom in 2020 and 2021, or you lost a loved one to COVID-19 and you were separated from them in their final hours, whatever your pandemic story is, it's essential to recognize that that story lives in our body, that the emotional, physical, and mental health toll of living through a pandemic is real. And not all of that [00:16:30] suffering is measurable. There's no PCR test for despair. There's no way to quantify the lost opportunities, the absence of social connection, and the isolation that we have experienced during the pandemic, particularly for young people, and for elderly loved ones in nursing homes and assisted living. And then for people with preexisting mental health issues, I think the pandemic has been uniquely traumatizing. I see it in my office. I see the accumulated [00:17:00] stacks, stressors adding up in people's blood pressures, in people's laboratory results, and I see it in their eyes. This is not to say that we are broken. This is not to say we are beyond repair. It is simply to say that health is about more than the absence of COVID-19.We are the integrated sum of complex parts. Health is about having awareness about the stories we tell ourselves, acceptance over the things we cannot control, and having more agency over our life. [00:17:30] This begins, in my opinion, with having access to fact-based information to care for our body and mind. It's my hope that the reckoning that we've all had to do with our health and well-being during the pandemic helps us zoom out on what it means to be healthy. That definition will be unique for each of us. So ask yourself, what does it mean to you to be healthy? For some people, that means having a perfect cholesterol score. For some people, it means re-engaging in intimate relationships. For other [00:18:00] people, it means taking risks, challenging their vulnerabilities and fears, stepping outside of their comfort zone, challenging their risk tolerance or venturing out beyond their comfort zone. And for all of us, I think it means re-engaging in healthy, strong relationships, taking care of our bodies, prioritizing sleep, and assessing our mental health like we do any other organ system, taking stock of our fears, anxieties, moods, relationships with food, [00:18:30] alcohol, work, and each other. No one is okay on the heels of the pandemic. The question isn't, can you win your annual checkup with your doctor? The question is, how can you be a little more okay tomorrow than you are today?Thank you so much for joining me. I'll see you next time. Oh, and before I forget, please leave me a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and definitions of health. Drop me a line below. Get full access to Are You Okay? at lucymcbride.substack.com/subscribe

Every week lash artists reach out to us with questions about content they see on Instagram. We are so honored that people value our opinions and ask us these questions about these matters. It's one of the reasons why we started this podcast. Unfortunately, in our humble opinion, there is a lot of lash advice that's passed around that just isn't true or based on sound science. Often when we talk to people, they just share this is what they were taught or they saw one or two clients that this worked on. We've been in the industry for over 18 years now and have tested all of the things we teach with tens of thousands of clients and students. Plus, we work with doctors and chemists to verify or dismiss many of the claims lash artists make in our industry. We have spent a lot of time thinking about these claims and do our best to back our answers with facts and logic. We hope to do more episodes like this one today where we address your questions and concerns. Please feel free to DM us on IG or email us at paul@lashcast.com with any questions you have about lashing or business. We hope to make more episodes like this one where we wrestle with ideas that are currently being share on IG. Today we have two topics we want to cover that we have seen recently on Instagram. First, should we be recommending Flonase to clients who have an allergic reaction to the glue? Second is the video that shows three glue dots being mixed with water a good representation of why we should not wet our lashes for 24 hours.

In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Shah and Dr. Agan discuss turbinate hypertrophy, turbinate reduction, and empty nose syndrome with Dr. Jayakar V. Nayak, associate professor of otolaryngology at Stanford University. --- SHOW NOTES First, Dr. Nayak gives an introduction to nasal obstruction, which may be present in patients presenting with congestion or a “stuffy nose”. Common causes of nasal obstruction include a deviated septum, nasal polyps, large adenoids in children, and turbinate hypertrophy. There are three sets of turbinates, and the inferior turbinates are located in the nose. The function of turbinates is to filter and warm incoming air. The majority of airflow happens in the lowest one third of the nose around inferior turbinates and base of middle turbinates. Turbinate hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of nasal obstruction. Dr. Nayak also notes that the same level of obstruction can affect individual patients differently. Next, he explains his workup for patients with turbinate hypertrophy. He always asks about specific symptoms the patient is experiencing, being sure to analyze both the right and left nasal cavities. He also inquires about their current nasal regimen (i.e. use of sprays, moisturizers, ointments, gels, etc.), past surgeries, past trauma to the nose, and their breathing goals. Then, he performs an endoscopy on everyone in order to examine the anterior nasal cavity of the native nose before administering decongestant. If he observes turbinate hypertrophy, he will apply topical decongestant and observe if the patient's symptoms are mitigated. He avoids using decongestant spray because they may irritate patients' throats. Dr. Nayak recommends a basic nasal spray regimen in all his patients with turbinate hypertrophy as a first line treatment. Benefits of nasal saline include clearing out mucus and drawing out fluid from tissues to reduce turbinate hypertrophy. Nasal steroid sprays like Flonase work well but other prescription sprays also exist. He notes that tolerance and side effects are usually rare, but possible reasons why medication might have to be changed or discontinued. Combination rinses are also available for patients with additional symptoms, such as allergies. If the conservative medical approach fails, he will move onto turbinate reduction surgery. Next, he discusses a complication of turbinate reduction, which is empty nose syndrome (ENS). ENS occurs when too much tissue in the nose has been resected, leaving a massively open nasal cavity. Patients experience a wide variety of symptoms, such as difficulty breathing fully, nasal crusting, cold or burning air rushing into the nose, and congestion. Symptoms are assessed using the SNOT 22 score; a score above 11 on a scale of 0-30 indicates a possible ENS diagnosis. Dr. Nayak also explains his in-office blinded cotton test technique to accurately diagnose ENS. Finally, Dr. Nayak discusses his turbinate reduction technique to reduce the probability of ENS. He only reduces the turbinate size while keeping shape and contour of the bone. He believes that a gradual and conservative reduction is better than a quick and excessive one. He also notes that there needs to be more standardization of turbinate reduction procedures worldwide and data on which techniques are best for preventing ENS as a postoperative complication.
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Donna: Hi Dr Cabral! I was recently diagnosed with a renal AML of 1.3cms and focal nodular neoplasm on my liver was noticed on my ultrasound. I need to now do an MRI to further investigate. I can't find any archived podcasts on these issues. Some background info: I was on “Yas” birth control pill for 8 years from 14-22 years old, and in the last 2 years I took antibiotics 8 times for UTIs. I'm someone who normally NEVER takes medication. I eat well, don't drink or smoke, but I've undergone a lot of stress since becoming a mom 4 years ago and feel like it's been since that time that my health has started to deteriorate as I try to juggle motherhood with running my own growing business. I'll be running the big 5 labs in 2 weeks, as I'm convinced they will shed more light on my health. Any input from you would help! Will these tumors ever go away in your experience? Thank you so much, I value your consideration and time! Maria: Hi Dr Cabral! I would love to hear your thoughts on lecithin as a supplement. Do you recommend it? If so, how does it support the body and what benefits are there? I've heard it connected to cognitive functions, nerves, skin, cholesterol etc. Could it be helpful for someone who has signs of dementia? What about when there's loss of sensitivity, tingling and numbness in lower parts of the legs and feet? Or is there anyone is particular that is at risk of being low in lecithin? Many many thanks for all you do, your podcast is like my encyclopedia on all health related matters. Jesseca: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all of the education you share. I've learned so much from you and am so grateful to have resources like yours to empower myself and my family to live happy, healthy lives. I have two separate questions that I asked in the Facebook support group, and they don't appear to have been answered before: 1) What is your opinion on chemical peels and products like retinol as part of a regular skin care routine? As I understand it, both make your skin very sensitive to the sun (requiring very diligent SPF application), which raises some red flags for me. What do you think? 2) What is your opinion on using mushrooms like lions mane, chaga, and cordyceps while pregnant? I'm planning on getting pregnant in the next year and am thinking about how to replace my morning coffee. When I've decided to give up caffeine in the past, I found mushrooms like this (e.g. FourSigmatic's functional creamer) to work really well as an alternative. I know you recommend reducing herbs while pregnant. Would mushrooms like this fall in the same category? Thank you! Jesseca Tina: You are amazing, and thanks for all you do! My 13-year-old son was just diagnosed with severe swelling in his sinuses, a deviated septum, and sinus polyps. I have him on daily omegas, daily activated mullti, periodic balanced zinc, daily probiotic, 3 HistPro 2 X per day, and I just ordered the alkalizing vitamin c (all Equilife products). I was forced to start him on Flonase, but I also have him on the nutribiotic GSE nasal spray. They want to do surgery, but they agreed to see if his nose improved after three months on the Flonase. So, three questions: 1-How much alkalizing vitamin c should he take? 2- Is it fine to keep him on all of these other things, and for how long? 3-Is there anything else I could be doing before this follow-up visit to help him so that his nose improves and they don't want to push us into the surgery? He's just over 100 pounds and very fit and active. He has all of the seasonal allergies and allergies to peanuts, tree-nuts, and sesame. I know it will take a while for you to answer, and I did ask on Facebook as well, but I know this will be an ongoing issue, so I wanted to get your opinion since I really value it. Jackie: My practitioner has recommended the Candida and Bacterial Optimizer (CBO) protocol. He is not an expert on Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, however. He has noted that my good bacteria diversity is really low. I have been on antibiotics and antimicrobials for 10 months to combat my SIBO. So far, no luck. My hydrogen level remains elevated. My question is this. Is this particular protocol good to disrupt established and tough biofilms? Or is this protocol better for someone who would be using this protocol as a first round against SIBO? Has it ever been used with success on SIBO patients who had tough biofilms to break down? Finally, is there a reason why EDTA is not included in the biofilm buster formula? Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding earth probiotic strains like B.coagulus, B.clausii, B.subtilis. Lately, I have seen many products of these particular strains being used, especially in combination with botanicals and biofilm removers to help with SIBO. Is there any real evidence regarding soil based probiotics or you aren't convinced of their efficacy? With SIBO or in general? Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, in my last question I forgot to add that I work in a functional medicine clinic, where we analyse gut microbiom. We see very often low counts of akkermansia muciniphila, which is critical for healthy gut barrier. Soil based probiotics are suppose to indirectly increase akkermansia. Do you see any valuable evidence of that?

Andrea Breanna's life's work has been on building high traffic websites and is the straight talking founder of RebelMouse that has built two of the most important new media companies of this decade. It also powers content hubs and media properties for brands, like United Airlines, BlackRock, Flonase and many more. Before that, she was CTO of HuffingtonPost, where she led product, design and engineering. In today's interview with Ryan she discusses both of these and much, much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Due to the rise and reliability of remote technologies, the physical office has less importance. Face to face still plays a key part, especially in sales, but for the day today running, you have the whole world to recruit from. As far as the customer experience goes, for a high percentage of companies the website will be the first point of contact and so many companies still fail to see the potential even now. Creating an ever evolving and positive user experience can guarantee return visits. There's always the temptation to continue to burn money in VC funded companies because of the nature of the model. Moving away from that and switching to a more sustainable model may seem painful, but in the long run it can enhance your business. For a company, your sales team is the most important part of the company and as such can also be the most expensive if they're not completely on brand and aligned with your mission. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're globally distributed. There are eighty-seven of us actually and we're in thirty-one countries. ' ‘Consumers don't have empathy for a bad website.” ‘Now, a year and a half after announcing core web vitals, very few sites are getting a good grade. Most of them are getting absolute failures and that type of thing is what we keep all of our clients monitored on so it's not like each client has to worry about that, the platform worries about those things.' ‘What you're told is to learn to burn money.'

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Fluticasone (Flonase) is a nasal corticosteroid that is used in the management of allergic rhinitis. A primary adverse effect that I have seen in practice with fluticasone is the risk for nose bleeds. Flonase can have some interactions via CYP3A4. Inhibitors of CYP3A4 like clarithromycin can increase concentrations. While the risk for systemic exposure is low with nasal fluticasone, long-term, high dose, and frequent use should be monitored appropriately.
It is simple arithmetic, but 3 minus 1 does in fact equal 2. Unfortunately, Benny has decided to step away from the podcast so you're left with Sarge and Bricky manning the ship. We want to thank him for his time and for everything he contributed in our first year of figuring out this whole podcast thing and we will do our best to keep you all entertained. But enough of the mushy stuff. Bricky and Sarge go back to old faithful, Kick of the Week: Sarge claims he ate 40 kitkats and started rewatching Game of Thrones. Bricky is doing dry January (lame) and has clean sinuses with the help of Flonase. We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
This week… something completely different! It's an episode all about my favorite things. With apologies to Oprah, this isn't about the holidays – it's a little late for that! And while some of this might make good gifts, this more of a season-less list. Just good stuff I like. Couple of rules I set for myself: Nothing that needs a prescription. Nothing that I'm getting paid for. No one on this list will even know they've been mentioned until the episode goes live!

Increase your possibilities.By Gvoke HypoPen, the first pre-mixed autoinjector for very low blood sugar. And By Dexcom. Take control of your diabetes and live life to the fullest with Dexcom This is Diabetes Connections with Stacey Simms. This week, something completely different. It's an episode all about my favorite things. With apologies to Oprah, this isn't about the holidays, it's a little late for that. And you know, some of this might make good gifts. This is more of just something I've been thinking about doing for a long time. So I would consider this a bit of a seasonless list, just good stuff that I like. And unfortunately, unlike Oprah, I haven't hidden everything I'm talking about here under your seat as a gift. So I can't do that. But I did set a couple of rules for myself, you're not going to hear me talk about anything today for which you need a prescription. Right, I'm not gonna talk about medical stuff, and nothing that I'm getting paid for. I will put the links for all this stuff in the show notes, but they're not affiliate links. So that means they go right to the product where I think it's most easily available. They don't go to a special link, you know, which tallies you up and then pays me. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that as long as everybody knows what's going on. And a couple of these folks may sound familiar, I've worked with them before, we have had partnerships and sponsorships with the mostly the booked clinic program. But I really just wanted this to be a fun way to share my thoughts. If you have a product that I mentioned. And the link is wrong or doesn't go exactly where you want it, please reach out. I want to make this great for you and easy for my listeners. So drop me a line Stacey at diabetes connections.com. And maybe we'll get a thread going in the Facebook group to find out some of your favorite things. Because you know, Benny is older now and the products that we really needed, you know, like the super cute insulin pump pouches that he used when he was three years old, he does not use anymore. So I don't have recommendations for stuff like that. Maybe we can kind of get a list going and I can do a follow up in a couple of weeks or months for listeners but you really should be in the Facebook group. Anyway, if you're on Facebook, I know not everybody is so if you're there, come on over. Alright, so here are a few of my favorite things let's talk about keeping insulin at room temperature. A couple of products I really like for that we don't have a ton of issue with this day in and day out. I do live in North Carolina and Benny of course is outside quite a bit in the summer, he does go to summer camp. When we've needed to keep something at room temperature. We use a Frio generally these Frio wallets pretty standard in the diabetes community you probably know about them. What's nice is you can get them at CBS. Now, I think Walgreens carries them used to be online only. They're really easy to use. Please follow the directions. Don't be like me and oversaturate and then you can't get anything in the wallet. You have to just read the directions. You'll figure it out better than we did. But Frio doesn't keep it cold. It just keeps it cool. But we love Frio. Close to edging it out. And the only reason it doesn't here is because of the price. And because it doesn't yet cover vials. But that's coming is the VIVI Cap. These folks reached out to me middle of last year, probably spring of last year and sent us a sample we decided to try it on Benny's trip to Israel. If you'll recall, my son went to Israel with his non diabetes camp last summer for a month. This included tons and tons of outdoor activity in temperatures that were in excess of 100 degrees. Quite often, he packed two bags, one was like the go bag, three days worth of supplies. And then the other bigger bag that stayed inside or in a refrigerated area, at least the insulin part of it did on the bus or you know, wherever they went, I have my suspicions as to whether it's stayed perfectly refrigerated the whole time, but only a little bit of insulin went into the desert with. But the idea was he would take a pen, we would use the VIVI Cap, and then he would just change the pen out continuing to use the VIVI Cap in his backpack. Whenever he needed more insulin. He had vials he had pens we use both in his pump. And it's always nice to have a pen in case you need to give yourself a shot something like that. So when he came home and this is so typical of my son went through his bag, for he did a great job with diabetes, but there must have been like a communications problem because he never changed out that insulin pen. He never needed to give himself a shot, which is probably why but he just always used the vials that I'd sent him with. I sent him with way too much insulin for a month but you know, you know mom's What am I gonna do? So upshot of this long story is that the one insulin pen that we sent to Israel with stayed in hot temperatures definitely in excess of probably 75 degrees around the clock, and certainly in excess of 100 degrees for several days at a time during the daytime. And what happened to it right it was with the VIVI Cap the whole time so we decided to test it out. You know how he supervised setting right? I wasn't going to let him use this pen and then jaunt off do overnights or whatever he was with us. And look, we would know right away if that insulin was no good. And guess what? It worked perfectly. It was fantastic. He was in range. I mean, he was really we were really watching obviously, right. But he was in range pretty much the whole three days. So it was fantastic. And I was definitely converted to VIVI Cap. That should be their tagline guys call me if you can stand the Israeli desert heat, right, you can certainly hang out a day camp in North Carolina this summer. They often have promo codes, discounts. It's more expensive than the Frio wallet. But it's also really durable and lasts for a whole year. And it has different sizes. So it will fit whatever insulin you're using. My understanding is that they are working on a similar bit of technology for insulin vials, and that would be great. Let's talk a little bit about getting stuff to stick. I have a whole document about this. If you haven't seen it, it's been a pop up for a couple of months. It's been incredibly popular. So I haven't taken it down yet. But I'm probably going to move it over to the bookstore section. Do you don't have a bookstore section on the website, we're kind of creating a place to put documents a lot of stuff is free. There are PDFs, so we're gonna move that over there. But of course there there's my book to buy and there will be more later this year. But the getting stuff to stick is so personal. I think it's really hard right? Everybody's skin is so different. So here's what we have liked over the years could not keep anything on Benny skin with a Skin Tac that is the brand that we like we get Skin Tac from Amazon. Over the years we've gone from just using the little Skin Tac wipes to using the liquid bottle we used to liquid for many years. I think gosh, Benny was like 13 or 14 and he was like no more. I don't want that it's not portable enough. He's never home. So he uses the wipes. Now. He uses nothing to dissolve it. So I have no favorite product for that. He literally just rips things off his skin. I cringe every time but hey, it's not my body. We like Stay Put Medical patches. That's the brand, Stay Put Medical just foyer for years and years. We had trouble in the water. I tried vet wrap I tried all the stuff that all the moms tell you to try. The Dexcom overlays that come free from the company are great, but it didn't work as well in the ocean, or with sweat, that kind of thing. So Stay Put patches really were fantastic for us. The story I always tell is Benny with a diabetes camp for a full week, right Saturday to Saturday. And then we went to the beach and we restarted the ducks calm. This was a couple of years ago. And it survived to Stay Put and the Dexcom survived a week of diabetes camp where they swim and sweat and you know, they're pretty gross for a whole week. It's hot. Again, as I said we live in North Carolina, and then three days at the ocean, sand and ocean. All that stuff that you get and it really did stay put. So I really love that they're big. He got an incredible tan line. That's one of the only downsides of it. We used Benadryl spray, Benny had a brief time of having a mild allergic reaction. I think this was to the Dexcom G5 years ago and my husband came back from the store with over the counter Benadryl spray not Flonase requested, and it worked fine. So it's kind of a weird, favorite thing, but I haven't heard a lot about Benadryl spray, but I'll mention it here. I also really really like next care waterproof Band-Aids, the brand doesn't really matter. I mean, it's just a Tegaderm bandage, but I'd like to mention it because you can get it at the drugstore or the grocery store. It's over the counter. Unlike a lot of the stuff that has to be ordered from your medical company or from Amazon, you can take a waterproof bandage and in a pinch, slap it over your Dexcom or slap it over an infusion set. I mean, you have to cut a hole into for the infusion set. But sometimes you can just slap it on top. We've done that and then gently pulled it off later to reconnect to the tube to pump. And it works great. I've heard a lot of people say they're afraid of doing that because they don't want to block the signal from the Dexcom people. We have done this many, many, many times I can show you photos. When we went to the Dead Sea in Israel, I did not want to take a chance of the salt. Right. It's so salty, corroding the transmitter. So we put a waterproof bandage over the Dexcom. And he left it on for a couple of days. I don't know the probably wasn't very comfortable, but he didn't seem to care. And it worked fine. So that's my in a pinch favorite thing at the beach let's talk about cases and organization something that my son doesn't care about at all. And if I if this were me, I'm the kind of person that I love pouches and organization and cool stuff like that and he really doesn't care. But I will go through and tell you what I like. I am a huge fan of T1D3DGear. This is just a fantastic family in the diabetes community to begin with, and their stuff is awesome. So as you can imagine T1D3DGear, they're making stuff right they're printing it out on their 3d printer and it's everything from trays, which we do use, I love those makes your supplies really easy to find. And they've got different sizes for different brands to insulin protection vials, which I like a lot, and they will do custom colors as well, we've been so lucky, where's the wood that I can knock that we've never actually like dropped a vial, but I always put the vial we're using in the case. And that makes me feel so much better. It's just a really easy, it kind of looks like R2D2 in a way. I don't think that's by design, but it's really helpful and really handy and they're making super useful products. They also make the cutest ones like if your kid wants a unicorn or different options. I'll link up their website, as I mentioned, Benny doesn't really like pouches, but I make him use them anyway because otherwise his diabetes bag is just a complete mess. So we like the ones from casualty girl, some of these have a bit of profanity, you know, all my diabetes stuff. You can fill in the blank there, but they have a bunch of really clean ones, obviously, you know, for younger children, even for my kid I don't like him carrying stuff in public that that has profanity on it, but they have some really cute stuff specific to diabetes, also personalized. They put names on it, and they were so nice. A couple of years ago we gave away a bunch of their stuff at friends for life, so I always like to recommend them. I also will recommend and link up Disney themed pouches that don't look super Disney. I know a lot of you especially friends for life people you're big Disney fans. I am too but I don't like to have like Mickey Mouse on my purse. I like it to be a little bit more subtle. And at red bubble. There's a bunch of people who will put together pouches you can see the samples. They just kind of hint at Disney so I have the small world pouch but it's just like a pattern that is featured in small world. It's not actually it doesn't say small world. I got Lea my daughter for Hanukkah. This year. I got her one that has the Haunted Mansion wallpaper on it. You'd never know unless you knew. So very cool stuff. It doesn't have anything to do with diabetes. But I love red bubble. They also have a fun bunch of diabetes stickers there. Oh, speaking of stickers. The best is Dia-Be-Tees This is my friend Rachel. And she has amazing T shirts. She is so creative. She's got great stickers, she made an ugly Hanukkah sweater for diabetes, because a couple of years ago, she makes these great, ugly Christmas sweaters for their diabetes steam. They say funny stuff on them. But I pointed out to her like, hey, everybody celebrates Christmas and she was immediately on it. My favorite stickers are the Tyrannosaurus Dex, get it and the Banting fan club that she made this year for Dr. Banting. Very, very cool stuff. And I'll link up to her Etsy shop. Let's talk about books. I promise I won't talk about my book here. I talk about it enough. But I really would like to recommend some books that have helped us a lot over the years. My favorite, the one that I always recommend is Think like a pancreas A Practical Guide to managing diabetes with insulin. And that is by the amazing diabetes educator Gary Scheiner. He is out with an updated edition. So he did this book, it's got to be I don't know, Gary, I'm guessing 10 years old, but he does update it frequently. I think it's the third edition now. It's really a great source and resource to understand your diabetes and your child's diabetes better and more thoroughly, let's say then perhaps you might get these quick endocrinology visits, definitely better than the information you're getting on Facebook. I of course love raising teens with diabetes, a survival guide for parents by Moira McCarthy that has not been updated for the technology that has come out since its publication. However, I don't think that matters. I think that there are so many wonderful ideas, thoughts and ways to recognize how tough a time it is for teenagers and come through that time with your relationship with your child intact. So I really recommend that I know Maura is working on updating it. But even still, it's so good because I think so many people with teenagers, even as we say all the time Oh, it's such a tough time. It's they feel so alone. I still I mean gosh, you guys I always wonder and I call Moira. She would vouch for me. And I'm like I'm not doing this right. It's hard. It's really hard. I also love Sugar Surfing how to manage type 1 diabetes in a modern world by the amazing Dr. Steven ponder, I would be lying if I said we are perfect sugar surfers. But we have used a lot of the principles that are in this book. And it does help you understand so much about how everything works and the dynamic way of managing. You know before CGM. It's incredible to think how much Dr. Ponder was able to do. And now with the monitoring, it's really, really helpful. But I will say you can get this for free. If you're newly diagnosed, I believe it's the first three months it might be six months, I will link it up. But I'm telling you right now, if you get this for free when you're newly diagnosed, put it away for a couple of weeks at least maybe put it away for six months, because it's it's pretty advanced in my opinion, and you got to learn diabetes, you got to learn a little bit more about it before you start worrying about the Delta and other stuff that's in here. But I love Dr. Ponder and highly recommend that one. I get asked a lot about children's books. And you know Benny and I read so many diabetes children's books, so many I mean how many are there in the market but we read them so often when he was little And my favorites probably aren't even available anymore. You know, Jackie's got game was about this kid who was trying it for the basketball team. And then he goes low. We loved Rufus comes home, which is about the JDRF. Bear, there were a couple of that diabetes kind of popped up into lots of picture books that we read if the person in them didn't have diabetes, or the animals in them. But I gotta be honest with you, I struggle to recommend children's books, because I'm not reading them with little kids anymore. And I think they're a really good judge, right? I do. Like when I go low, a diabetes picture Guide, which is a terrific book by ginger Viera. And Mike Lawson. And this is a terrific book, because both of those people live with type one, we had them on the show, you know, I've known them for years I full disclosure, but I think it's so valuable because as a parent of a child with diabetes, who doesn't live with diabetes herself, I don't have that kind of insight. And I really trust those authors to share that information and help a child kind of give voice to how they're feeling when they go low, that sort of thing. It's a fun, cute book, it's, you know, it's not serious. It's not scary. It's really great. And I'm just gonna say, and don't be mad parents, if you're thinking of writing a children's book, just carefully consider it. Look at what was already out on the market. I talked to a lot of people who spent a lot of money to put these books out, you know, most of them are not published by a traditional publishing house. Some are but most are self-published. And that's great. But you know, gosh, there are so many out there right now that are very similar. So you know, we don't need a general explainer, please think about what the need in the community is, what's the unique need, you can fill? And I would say, you know, that's why I like when I go low, because it's written by people with type one, we do need them. I mean, the children's books are great. And there's some wonderful ones out there, but I'll tell you, what I'd like to see is some elementary school and tween level books. That's what we really need around here. We don't need another picture book, we need something that an 11 year old or an eight year old could read and see themselves in, you know, baby sitters club is the only thing I can think of where diabetes is there, but it isn't always the focus, it would be really nice to have something else like that. Frankly, I'd like to see that adult level book as well. There's a couple of authors that have written books were diabetes featured but isn't like the main point. But boy, it would be really fun to see that in like a blockbuster bestseller kind of book if they got it right of course. Alright, let's talk about some just for fun stuff. years ago, Benny got his years ago on his 10 year diaversary. So five years ago, we gave Benny the I heart guts, stuffed pancreas. I heart guts is a company that makes they're so funny. They make stuffed animal type body parts, I'm sorry, they call them plush organs. And since we purchased a few years ago, they have a few more options on their website. They have socks, they have pouches, I was talking about pouches earlier, there's one that says party in my pancreas. But what I really like about this is you can get something for your kiddo with type one. But you can also find something for a sibling who doesn't have diabetes, right? If you're if you're just looking for something silly, I gave my daughter the heart, right? I mean, knock on wood, thank God, there's nothing wrong with her heart. But it was a symbol of my love for her. And while she thought it was kind of silly, you know, it's a way to include her. So diabetes isn't always you know, the middle of everything. And they I mean, this place absolutely cracks me up. There is so much here. They've got puns as far as the eye can see. So if your kid needs their tonsils out, if your wife is having a knee replacement, these are just really fun. And I may have to go and order a huge amount of the stickers. One of the things I absolutely love is that a lot of businesses have popped up to make toy accessories for kids with diabetes. So you know, you've probably heard like Build A Bear has a diabetes kit, you can get that online. years ago, the American Girl doll kit kind of kicked this off. But there's a bunch of people in the community making this stuff. So I recommend heroic kid, and they make tiny little CGMs for your Elf on the Shelf. If you're into that, or you can put it on an American Girl doll. You can have a libre, they now make a bunch of insulin pumps. It's awesome. I love this stuff. I mean, I can't even imagine if we'd had a real real looking insulin pump for Benny when he was two years old that he could have stuck on his Elmo. Holy cow. So heroic kid is fantastic. And the other thing for kids I wanted to share. And I I tell if you saw my newscast last week, we talked about this I broke this story in 2019. Jerry the bear, and Rufus the bear are now one, there can only be one, there was only one bear. And we talked about this when beyond type one and JDRF announced their alliance in 2019. I kind of jokingly asked like what happens to the bears? And they answered it with a straight face and said only one. We're gonna figure this out because it doesn't make any sense to have to, you know, we don't want to be spending money on this kind of stuff. So what happened is Rufus is now $22 which is a lot less than the starting price of Jerry. And if you're not familiar, I probably should explain. So Jerry, the bear is an interactive toy made by the folks at Sproutel, they have gone on to make things like my special AFLAC duck. They have, I think it's called a purrburl. It's like a little stuffed animal that kind of helps kids kind of calm themselves. It's interactive that way. And but they started with Jerry, the bear was their first product developed when these guys were in college. It's a really smart team. But Jerry is a teaching toy. And there's an app on he's evolved over the years and really looks great. And of course, now he looks like Rufus. So this is Rufus on the outside Jerry on the inside, and it's available for $22. I'm gonna call this next category, miscellaneous, because these were just a couple of things that I wanted to make sure to tell you about. But they don't fit into many of these categories. And the first one popped up into my Facebook feed. But it looks beautiful. It's a ring. It's kinda like a zigzaggy ring. But it's called to my daughter highs and lows ring, it is only $36. It is cubic zirconia. It is sterling silver plated with 18 karat gold. So this is not a you know, super expensive super valuable ring. And that's fine. I think it's great for what it is, makes it a terrific little gift. And it comes with a card that says the ring stands for the highs and lows in life, wear it as a reminder that I will be there for you through all of them. That's pretty cool. And hey, moms, I mean, you can buy it for yourself. Even though we go through some highs and lows, they don't all have to be diabetes related. I want to mention, this is very silly. But this is our miscellaneous category. And these are my favorite things. I think everybody who uses a Dexcom should have a guitar pick lying around. Because you've probably seen the trick to use a test strip to to pry the Dexcom transmitter out of the sensor for a couple of reasons doesn't work for us. I don't know if our test strips are weak or our transmitters are strong. But we have found that a guitar pick does the trick very easily. And I'll tell you the number one reason why we have to remove Dexcom transmitters, it's because then he will start a dead transmitter, or I'll start a dying transmitter. And he'll ignore all the notifications, we'll put the sensor on and clip the transmitter and then the transmitter is dead. So yeah, the guitar pick comes in handy to pry that out and then put the new transmitter in. I also want to recommend a website not a product here but Useless Pancreas.com is a clearinghouse for so many products. They've done an amazing job. We had them on the podcast earlier this year. But since I talked to them, they've added so much. So if you're tooling around and you're not sure even what you're looking for, like I need to get something that'll make stuff stick or I need something that'll they have these two categories, like what will make my kid happy. It's just a neat place to go and find a diabetes marketplace. So I'd like to recommend that because, you know, you go on Amazon, there's so many choices. But they've done a nice job of really trying to narrow it down and give us one place to go. Alright, before I wrap it up here, I did ask Benny if he had any favorite diabetes, things to recommend. And he looked at me like I hit three heads. After thinking about it for a minute or two. He said, The silent button on my pump and Dexcom. So I can't say I blame him for that. I am happy that he has the vibrate only we wish every alarm could be silenced. We understand why they cannot be. So there you have it. That's my very first favorite things episode, I will put a link in the show notes. For every item that I talked about here, I want to make it easy for you to find. Again, if you are haven't mentioned and you have a product and you're not crazy about the link I use, feel free to email me Stacey at diabetes connections.com or ping me on social media and we will figure it out. I want to make sure that people can find your stuff. And if you have your own favorite things that you'd like to list, I think I will put something in the Facebook group and maybe we'll share that in the weeks to come. Thank you as always to my editor John Buchanan from audio editing solutions. Thank you so much for listening. A couple of weeks left in December, we are going to have these Tuesday episodes, as I mentioned, including kind of a look ahead to next year some predictions possibly. And I'm really hoping to get one more technology update for you in before the end of the year trying to get someone from Tandem to come on and talk about that R&D update that I spoke about in the news episode. Last week. They laid out their five year plan for new products and software. But I will see you back here on Wednesday for in the news or if you listen on podcast. That'll be Friday. All right. I'm Stacey Simms. I'll see you back here soon Until then be kind to yourself. Benny 24:43 Diabetes Connections is a production of Stacey Simms media. All rights reserved. All wrongs avenged

Book #17 The Kind-Hearted Smartass - Volume 3: Maybe the Best of the Trilogy (2019) In this book, Rozniecki tackles every random topic a Mensa member could think up, and if it were possible, even more. In The Kind-Hearted Smartass: Volume 3: Maybe The Best of the Trilogy, you'll learn all about: how a Tinder CEO didn't know the definition of "sodomy;" why the TGI Fridays mistletoe drones idea was worse than slippers in sandals; what the next "hangry" might be; and how online IQ tests read to a snarky mind. Not only that, Rozniecki: provides the top ten times when it's best to not take a selfie; explains how Congress is like a marriage; points out the fact that the Flonase tagline is stupid; and crushes Americans' hopes that Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg will give them all of his money, cars, homes, and beauty tips.

Cody Bellinger, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder and 2019 National League MVP joined the Baseball Happenings Podcast to discuss his new partnership with Flonase and why the move was in alignment with his personal branding, as he has suffered from allergies his entire career. He also explained what it was like to play through the pandemic, including winning the 2020 World Series and what the Dodgers are looking forward to in defending the title in 2021.

A review of the best over the counter options for seasonal allergies: 1) A nasal spray called fluticasone (Flonase) 2) A second generation antihistamine such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin) or fexofenadine (Allegra) Generic options work just as well as name brand options. Be wary of other options as sometimes the risk can outweigh the benefit. A disclaimer, I'm providing general guidance but everyone is different and you should always discuss with your health care professional management of any disease and therapy before trying anything you discover from a source on the internet (including this podcast)
Dental Friends with Benefits is a fun show where Doctors George Hariri and Ashley Joves have REAL conversations about things going on in their lives. They get vulnerable and honest and they do not hold back--including their language (you've been warned)! They both have a lot going on outside of their successful practices. George is the CEO of Shared Practices, also a co-host on the Shared Practices Podcast. Ashley runs a podcast and Facebook Group called "The Make of a Dental Startup"
Sometimes when I overhear a conversation/argument about telehealth, it occurs to me that there’s a lot of fighting words about some things and very, very little about other things which I’d regard as equally, or maybe even more, important. Some of the sparring tends to jump immediately to tactics and UX (user experience), absent of strategy and CX (customer experience). In my experience, you can’t talk about a user interface until you talk about the overall customer experience and journey and what your goal is. So, here’s what I mean: Let’s take urgent care as an analog. Say a patient goes to urgent care with symptoms consistent of allergic asthma. The NP (nurse practitioner) gives the patient strict instructions to take an antihistamine and Flonase and Flovent. She tells the patient to be sure to make a follow-up with their PCP (primary care provider) to evaluate how it’s going. If the patient doesn’t make a follow-up visit, do we suggest it’s because the live in-person visit should have been telehealth? Or if the patient is nonadherent and winds up in the hospital with a full-blown asthma attack, do we suggest that live in-person visits diminish adherence? Let me respectfully suggest that it’d be a solid no on that. This is exactly why, whenever I listen to a diatribe about how telehealth did not work out for a patient, I find it interesting to ask a couple of questions. The question that I tend to ask when someone starts talking about some telehealth fail is “How did it fail?” How did it not work out? And the answer to this question tends to be similar to the above allergic asthma example: that the patient needed lab work or imaging or a follow-up visit, and that couldn’t be done via telehealth. There was no resolution to the patient concern, in other words. Okay … so, first of all, most practices don’t have immediate on-premises lab work or imaging, so the patient would have had to have gone somewhere else to get it anyway. But even if they did, as far as I know, you can’t have a follow-up visit at the same time that you have the first visit. Not to be cheeky, but that’s why they call it a follow-up visit. Then the next logical question is, if the patient doesn’t show up for a follow-up, if the patient were in person, what’s the greater likelihood that they would have gone for the lab test and/or come back for the follow-up? This is when you start to realize that the setting of care (ie, virtual or in person) may be a little bit less important than the agency of the provider involved. And it may be a little less important than the structure of the organization sitting around that patient encounter. Said another way, strategically, what are we doing here? What are we trying to accomplish? What’s our road map to get the patient from where they are now to wherever that goal is? A patient visit is a tactic. It’s one point in time. And that’s true regardless of whether it’s a remote visit or an in-person one, synchronous or asynchronous. A patient visit or interaction is not a care pathway. It is rarely, if ever, a magic bullet one and done. But that doesn’t stop us from thinking about patient encounters, one encounter at a time, which may be exactly why we wound up with a fragmented health care system that doesn’t work very well. But I digress. So, from what I can see, some of the flaws that some people attribute to telehealth might be more properly construed as flaws to the ecosystem in which the telehealth is being deployed. For example, how much agency or data or infrastructure does the provider behind the camera have to see where the patient is in their treatment journey and make sure that they get to that next milestone? Because in cases where the doctor behind the camera or the telephone or the text message has agency and the telehealth visit is part of a defined patient journey, telehealth results are strikingly comparable to not telehealth results, if not better. If we’re contemplating a patient journey or a treatment journey, writ large, the site of care at any moment in time is a secondary or tertiary factor—certainly not a primary one. Here’s what I want to know about telehealth. How do you best use it, not as a point solution but as part of a larger whole? How do you optimize a telehealth encounter so it pulls its weight in helping patients get a resolution to their chief complaint or manage their chronic conditions? Christian Milaster has written about this in his Telehealth Tuesday newsletter, which is great, by the way. Christian wrote that the delivery of care, when viewed through the eyes of a systems engineer (which he is), becomes a quite simple four-step process. These are the four steps that Christian says. He says, the first step is assessment, which leads to a diagnosis, which is step two. Step three is the development of a treatment plan. And then step four is the implementation of that treatment plan. Amongst other sidebars, I talk about these four steps in this health care podcast with Blake McKinney, MD. Dr. McKinney is an ER doc as well as the cofounder and CMO over at CirrusMD. In our conversation, Dr. McKinney actually comes up with one more step to add to the four-step process. It’s kind of a pre-step, where the patient decides that he or she needs care to begin with. You can learn more at cirrusmd.com. Blake McKinney, MD, cofounder of CirrusMD, had a vision: to enable every person to have a better experience accessing health care services. Blake observed the barriers his patients were up against in seeking care and, at the same time, saw that his friends and family were able to reach out to him directly for guidance, most often via text. CirrusMD was created so everyone seeking care could immediately connect and communicate with a real doctor in this way. Partnering with Andy Altorfer in 2012, Blake and the CirrusMD team have built a platform to achieve this vision of an improved health care experience. Through the years, this path has been guided by Blake’s clinical insight and ongoing, practice-based understanding of the needs of both patients and doctors. Dr. McKinney completed his internship and residency at the University of California Davis after graduating from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. Prior to medical school, he served 4 years as a communications intelligence officer in the United States Marine Corps. 06:53 “Regardless of the availability of convenient options, there is one force more powerful than convenience, and that is familiarity.” 09:01 “Telemedicine that is continuity based is going to be better medicine fundamentally.” 13:21 “The fundamentals of medicine are the same, and the standard of care is the same, whether the care is in person or in clinic.” 15:16 What’s the underlying determinant of patient success? 16:08 “When it comes to the ‘What’s next,’ doctors love resources.” 16:52 How is telemedicine lacking in resources? 18:42 “Implementation to me is, first and foremost, about follow-up.” 23:10 “There’s a place for automations.

Today I sit down with Kathleen Kastner. Kathleen has a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology and has been vegan since 2002. She works for The Humane Society of the United States with their Forward Food program as a Food & Nutrition Coordinator. She leads plant-based culinary trainings at schools, colleges and hospitals to help institutions get more vegan food on their menus.This series features conversations I conducted with individuals who have dedicated their work and lives to Vegan research, businesses, art, and society. This podcast series is hosted by Patricia Kathleen and Wilde Agency Media. www.kathleenkastner.com; www.forwardfood.org TRANSCRIPTION[00:00:10] Hi, I'm Patricia. And this is investigating Vegan life with Patricia Kathleen. This series features interviews and conversations I conduct with experts from food and fashion to tech and agriculture, from medicine and science to health and humanitarian arenas. Our inquiry is an effort to examine the variety of industries and lifestyle tenants in the world of Vegan life. To that end. We will cover topics that have revealed themselves as Kofman and integral when exploring veganism. The dialog captured here is part of our ongoing effort to host transparent and honest rhetoric. For those of you who, like myself, find great value in hearing the expertize and opinions of individuals who have dedicated their work and lives to their ideals. You can find information about myself and my podcast at Patricia Kathleen dot com. Welcome to Investigating Vegan Life. Now let's start the conversation. [00:01:13] Hi, everyone, and welcome back. This is your host, Patricia. And today I am excited to be sitting down with Kathleen Kassner. [00:01:20] She is an entrepreneur, business owner, author and Vegan cooking show host. Welcome, Kathleen. [00:01:27] Thank you so much for having me, Patricia. [00:01:29] Absolutely. I am so excited. [00:01:31] You have such an amazing history and dynamic professional life. And I want to get into all of that. I'm going to read for everyone listening. I'm going to read a brief bio on Kathleen. But before I do that, a quick roadmap. She can follow today's podcast on its trajectory. We're gonna get into Kathleen's background. Mainly her. Her Vegan story and how she'd kind of enumerate where she came to be at this point, her life. And then we'll turn to unpacking her professional past and the dialog that that has between what she was doing with that and the Vegan world. And then we'll turn to the ethos of her current work with the Humane Society and the food forward program. And then we'll turn our attention towards the end of the podcast towards future goals, both professionally and personally, as well as any advice Kathleen might have for those looking to get involved in any of the projects that she's had or maybe emulate some of her career success. A quick bio on Kathleen before I start peppering her with questions. Kathleen Kessner has a master's degree in exercise physiology and has been a vegan since 2002. She works for the Humane Society of the United States with their food forward program. Sorry, the forward food program as a food nutrition coordinator. She leads plant based culinary trainings at schools, colleges and hospitals to help institutions get more Vegan food on their menus. Her mission is to educate people on the health benefits of whole food plant based diet. While saving animals and helping the planet. Kathleen was a yoga studio owner in Kansas City for 16 years and teaches Ashtanga yoga retreats internationally. She's the author of Yoga's Path to Weight Loss and hosts a vegan cooking show on YouTube so you can find out a little bit more. She's got a couple of Web sites. W w w dot. Kathleen Kassner, dot com. That's K a t h. L. e E n. K. A. S. T n e. R dot com. And w w. W dot food forward dot. org, as we discussed, that you might want to hit that Web site. So, Kathleen, before I get into everything that you are currently doing with food forward in Humane Society, I'm hoping you can dress like a roadmap of what you feel like, your personal story or background and history, education, all that stuff has been with your Vegan life. Great. [00:03:49] Thank you so much. I was born and raised in Kansas, which I like to joke that it's not exactly the Vegan capital of America. I was really fortunate that I from Kansas, when I got out of college, I moved to San Diego and got a job with Sharpes Hospital. And one of my first clients there was Dr. Deepak Chopra. So when I was young, naive girl, this would have been in 1993. And I get to meet Dr. Chopra at my job. And I didn't know who he was at the time, but I became became his personal trainer and got introduced to his work and consciousness and got introduced to my first yoga class, which literally changed every single aspect of my life for the better. So I'm really grateful that for that divine synchronicity, I had to be at that job at five a.m. in the morning right after college, and that I would get to meet Depok. So I definitely looking back, you know, twenty five years later realized it was definitely meant to be. So I got introduced to yoga and through the years I changed everything. My diet was the first thing to change. I was already vegetarian. I think, unfortunately, I might have been eating like a fish couple times a year and I had to put my cat to sleep. I had a two year old child with Cat and I chose to hold her while they did it. And it really like woke me up. I was like who I am. I don't ever need to eat any living being a you know, I really got it. And I felt like that was a gift she gave to me. And so I became vegetarian, started practicing yoga daily, got to open my first yoga studio in nineteen ninety nine in Kansas City. And every year I did yoga. Something dropped that that wasn't serving my highest good. You know, I eventually dropped, I dropped alcohol, I dropped caffeine, which I thought I would never live to say and my whole life. But but I was still having some health problems. I was having a lot of allergies, asthma and acne. And it was from the dairy. But I had no idea. I went to a conference. Marianne Williamson, host of this conference and I went to from Kansas City to Michigan. She was the minister of a church and hosted this big peace conference. And one of her speakers was Congress. And Dennis Kucinich from Ohio. And he stood up on that stage saying how he had had these undiagnosed health problems and no one could figure out what was wrong with them. And he read Diet for a New America by John Robbins. And John Robbins was the heir to Baskin Robbins and chose to not take over the family business because he saw his uncle died early in his early 50s of a heart attack. His father got diabetes and he realized that dairy was killing his family members. So he did not take over the business, which was a huge falling out and became this amazing plant based educator. So he wrote this book, Diet for a New America. And Dennis Kucinich had read it and told the whole audience how he changed a plant based diet. And those diagnosed health problems magically went away. So I was sitting in the audience going, well, my gosh, I never even consider, you know, I wasn't even eating a lot of dairy and eggs. I was actually more of an attack and dressing than a ranch dressing kind of person. My whole life, I had been like that. But the little dairy that I would have was really wreaking havoc on my health. So I remember sitting in the audience thinking, well, I'm already vegetarian, you know, and I don't even know if he said the word Vegan. But I went back to Kansas City where I didn't know any vegans and I just took him out of my diet. And it was like a miracle. My skin cleared up practically in the first week. I got off the inhaler and got off the Flonase and my whole my health changed. So that's my Vegan story. And then when I did learn the ethics of what was going on in the dairy industry and the egg industry and that we were impregnating cows and taking away their babies and grinding up male chicks and grinders. And I was like, there is no way I'm going to have anything to do with these systems that are being cruel to animals. So I was very easy for me. I it's been 18 years and I just I never looked back. It was just like a switch went on and it was very easy. I and my husband I met twelve years ago, it was miraculously Vegan. [00:08:41] We had a Vegan wedding to our Kansas and Wisconsin family members in Los Angeles. And so it's just been a huge part of my life. I'm really blessed. [00:08:50] I have a partner be supportive and he's a great cook. And our yoga studio, Kansas City, we promoted veganism as much as possible. [00:09:00] Yeah. I wonder with your said, given this prolific history that you have with a yoga studio, you and I spoke just briefly off the record before we started the podcast about how yoga studios are kind of tricky. [00:09:12] And when I run into them, I interview a lot of small business owners and even all the way up to large business titans. And sometimes the industry can confuse one to thinking that it's not a business type industry. We talked about how yoga studios are one of those areas where I find that people assume, like, you know, Yogi's own them and they do a lot of yoga. But it is indeed a business unto itself. And I was wondering, and the connection between as a business owner and a yogi yourself, there is an inherent connection. I find a lot of yoga yogis or people who do yoga are not a shock to find someone being Vegan. But there's also an assumption that every yogi is Vegan or that they understand that lifestyle. And I'm wondering throughout, because you had such a prolific career owning different yoga studios. I'm wondering if you ever had an opportunity to engage in collaboration's or education regarding veganism or did you keep those things very separate? You were a vegan. You were also a yoga studio owner. Did they ever collaborate? [00:10:10] Yes, I pretty much shouted it from the mountaintop. Once I once I knew, knew better for myself that how I could help, you know, not only my health, but the animals and the environment. Yes. I became very outspoken and I did get some grief and I probably still do, but I'm going to keep speaking out. I got these Vegan startup kits from PETA. They will give them to you for free. They will ship them to your yoga studio for free. They have a benefactor who pays for them. And I set them right up there at the front desk with all the other literature schedules. Our hope when we host a teacher trainings, I would ask our students to go Vegan. Of course, they had free will whether they did or didn't. But we have had people come back later through the years who have stayed Vegan and we would host Vegan potlucks and movie screenings and just tried to really get them involved. Of course, most of them were not Vegan but. If you share delicious Vegan food and then people can realize like, hey, you don't have to be deprived. This is amazing. So we did the letter home and we did them at the studio. And I always think that sharing delicious food is a great people, great way to help educate people on the benefits of veganism. [00:11:32] Yeah, it's it's clever, too. I hadn't I hadn't put this together. I mean, there are religions out there that put service and food in a way to help convert and share a peaceful message. [00:11:43] And so it stands to reason that a dietary and lifestyle movement could easily do the same. I think that's a really good point. And always your education, right? Just be sharing that education. [00:11:57] So I'm wondering, I want to turn now the efforts towards I'm looking at the ethos of the Humane Society and the food forward program. [00:12:04] Can you start by painting a picture of what the kid when I think of the Humane Society. I tend to think of animals and things of that nature. And so I want to look at can you explain what aspect of the Humane Society, what chapter, that type of thing that you're in. And then also draw us out like an outline of what the food forward program is? [00:12:27] Sure, sure. So I work for the Humane Society of the United States and I just want to clarify its forward food stuff. That's OK. It's forward food, dawg. And it was started four years ago and by Chef Wanda. And it is under meat reduction. So this is farm animal protection and meat reduction. These campaigns, it's under. So we're trying to save farm animals. In a nutshell, by teaching people how to make delicious plant based foods without using them. And we're not asking people to go vegan, but we're just asking to get more plant based options on institution menus for those who care to have them, especially when somebody is in the hospital. If they went in for heart disease, you know, the last thing we want to do is give them bacon and eggs in the morning after they wake up from their heart surgery. And I worked in choreography when I was younger. So it's very important to educate them right away, you know? And of course, people have free will. But if we can at least start introducing healthier foods. So at the Humane Society, we do these plant based culinary trainings to K through twelve food service workers, dieticians, chefs, colleges and hospitals. So it's a lot of fun. So we go in and we work with the staff. Sometimes it's around 20 people. And I give a PowerPoint on why we're there for health, animals, the environment, and then we get to go into the kitchen. And it depends on the institution. But sometimes I get to bring one of our Vegan chefs from Seattle and work with their culinary staff to make anywhere from 15 to 20 plant based recipes. So we break them up into teams of two and they get recipes and they make them within a couple hours. And then when it's done, we set up a big buffet table and the whole staff gets to taste all the different dishes. They present their dishes. They they are allowed to make tweaks if they want to make the recipe their own. It just can have animal products, but extra spice here and there. So we really try to get the staff excited about plant based foods so that they'll be more interested in helping to make them. So then the food service director and the chefs get to decide which recipes they'd like to put on their menus. And then I follow up with them within the next few months to see what changes they've made in meat reduction. [00:15:03] That's exciting. I think it's such a great way to come at it. [00:15:06] You know, it's it's this kind of, again, this educational model of showing and educating as as you kind of set up some of the dangers of of having meat so prolifically represented in the American diet, even on the social level. I'm wondering, with schools, have you been able when you get into colleges, have you. Has the program looked into getting into elementary schools? And if you have done that. Is that that's a system that I think even a lot of people. I have children that go to school and I'm not sure if it's state mandated or federally mandated. You know how that school lunch system works because my children don't partake in it. But I'm wondering how much flexibility there is to have organizations such as Forward Food go in and pitch them and speak to them. Is it state run? Are you guys able to penetrate some of the areas near what you're doing or is it mainly on the college level? [00:16:00] No, we definitely do K through 12th. It's a lot of fun. I've gotten to do I really have the position for eight months. But I've gotten to do some case patrols and they do make changes. They like are are Vegan sloppy Joes that are made with lentils and veggie crumbles and barbecue sauce. Yes, we definitely we have all the nutritional requirements that are necessary to meet their requirements. And then so our meat alternative is usually beans or lentils in that respect. So as long as it meets the requirements nutritional wise for the meat requirement and the protein requirement, then it it's good to go and they can adopt them. [00:16:41] That's fantastic. I think it's so exciting to have those. Because as you introduce the younger generation to it, I think that's where you truly get, you know, early education and experience with that education coming up. [00:16:53] And I think programs like that need to start taking hold. I mean, the food paradigm that they developed the nutritional guidelines from is suspect, you know, anyway, it hasn't really been overturned and people who have just kind of flipped it on its head. But I do think that looking into systems like this, one of the biggest problems people think is that developing a solution would be very, very difficult. Do you have specific products that are kind of your go to you mentioned the lentils were sloppy Joes for schools and things like that. Do you does your program have these kind of staples, if you will, of supplements that you bring in quite frequently to kind of pitch people on? [00:17:33] We actually give them a grocery list with all the ingredients for all the different recipes. So there's 20 recipes. The chef helps. And I helped design this list. So they go shopping. And sometimes I do need a little help, you know, like where do I get nutritional yeast or if they need a certain brand of veggie crumbles or chicken nuggets like we refer them out to Hungry Planet or Morningstar or we connect them with vendors. We don't have our own vendors, you know, that we that we use. Exactly. And we give them options so they can source it from any plant based company they like. Or sometimes I just try to give them a little guidance on where to go if they don't know how to get Vegan mandates. [00:18:13] Right. Yeah. It's great because it removes you guys from affiliation and getting caught up with it being more corporate based, which I think there has been kind of a movement towards. There's been. And now I'd like to kind of crawl into that. So there's plant based and there's Vegan. [00:18:30] And I've been interviewing a lot of people involved in the Vegan world. [00:18:35] So not just the food world that you're functioning in, but also the community, artistic endeavors, fashion designers, cosmetic creators. And this idea has kind of arisen and a lot of people feel like it's starting. As it always is starting to get become an advertising debate. But you have plant based and then you have Vegan. And I'm wondering, everyone defines these a little bit differently. So I'm hoping that just to get an idea from you and your perspective, how would you define something that is plant based and how would you define something? Is Vegan? Is there a difference? What is the difference for you in your work? [00:19:12] For me, because Vegan was around when I became Vegan, Vegan was the term, so I associate with the word Vegan. I also for me. It means that I also care about the animals and the ethics and the spirituality and and Mother Earth first day. And I feel like when this whole food plant based movement came out, which is great, because that means usually very little or no oil or sugar or salt. Usually for people who are having serious health problems, you know, diabetes, heart disease, weight loss or high blood pressure, high cholesterol. So this whole food plant based diet came out, which is the healthiest way to eat because there is a lot of junk food, potato chips, Oreos and soda. So it is important to eat a Whole Foods plant based diet and then you have a little fun on the weekends if you get some sweet potato fries out or something like that. But for me, I identify with the word Vegan because I am such an animal advocate and sometimes plant based people are not as interested in the animals in the environment. They're very, very into health, which is wonderful. And we need all angles to support the movement. But for me, that is the big difference, that when you're Vegan, you're really you're in it for all all reasons. And when you're just plant base, you're really mainly into it for your health. Yeah. Which is great. And sometimes I've seen that the whole food plant based people become animal advocates and environmental activists, you know, becomes more to them. And I'm the same way. I mean, when I'm in Vegan. I had no idea what was one. I was the cow. Dairy cows in the egg industry. So I started for my health, too. [00:21:01] Yeah, I think you're right. I've seen a lot of gateway moments like that, you know, a gateway drug. And there's a lot of different reasons, you know. I've interviewed people that came at being coming. They're unlike I call them the unlikely vegans because they don't have a history or an environment that would treat veganism. But they suffered a heart attack at thirty five, in fact. Forget it. And there's just there's a lot of different ways some people have watched game changers and decided, I can't I can't be a part of this. There's been a lot of avenues now with the pandemic. I've spoken to a bunch of people recently that are investigating the lifestyle heavily because it's you know, health has become at the forefront of everyone's mind. And the plant based versus Vegan, I think there's been a lot of pushback that I've heard about, particularly in the food industries, because plant based is being attached by marketing agendas that also have animal products in them. And so when vegans identify with being plant based, they're consuming or buying things and discovering that they're not Vegan. It's kind of like being fortified with vitamin D or other folic acid. You know, when they when health people got a hold of that in the 80s and 90s, everything was suddenly fortified and terrifying. [00:22:16] Well, yes, you're right. True. There are plant based, also plant based products. And they'll have a little egg or casing. Yeah. If you read the ingredients. So you do. If you're if you're serious about destroying the ingredients. [00:22:28] Absolutely. And so I want to kind of turn towards. I'm not sure how much rhetoric you have had on a professional level or personal level. [00:22:38] I did touch briefly on, you know, the interest and the return to thinking about health as as a as a civilization is kind of peaking for people. And I'm wondering if you've thought if there's been enough time for you to kind of marinate in it and think about how the Humane Society or forward food would sculpt. Do you think that some of your rhetoric will start changing to be more inclusive of talking about the pandemic as as restrictions rise? Of course. And you return back to I know you have this kind of in-person person format to a lot of what you do. And as that returns, do you think that some of the dialog will change to kind of include what we have been experiencing as a society? [00:23:22] Definitely. I I was talking with my manager. We're hoping to be all that. We do this our point and at least, you know, add in a slide or two about what's happened. We really try to focus on health, the health and the environment. And so but so in both of those things are relative to the pandemic. And the thing is that all slaughterhouses are, ah, you know, breeding grounds for disease. I mean, there's what we've already had, avian flu, bird flu, swine flu. There's a lot of there's mad cow disease that is very covered up in the United States. Salmonella, E. coli, Ebola Scar's. I mean, the list goes on and on about it isn't just happening in other countries is happening in United States. So that raising animals for food is. Breeding ground for disease. So we are going to hopefully we definitely won't be dwelling on it, but we work it. We'll plug it in there a little bit. [00:24:19] Absolutely. Lisa Slainte current. Right. I'm wondering and I want to really quickly circle back. I neglected to ask you. I'm interested in people who come up with these recipes that you have. You mentioned. A chef in Seattle. If we if we get to. We like to fly someone down. Where do you find your chefs? How do you collect the recipes? Do you ever have competitions that people can kind of submit to or how does that work? [00:24:41] You know, it's all done internally within Ford Food and Høst US. So we have a staff. Amazing chefs. And they are recipe creators. And they also will collaborate with Sodexho large food management companies and create plant based recipes that are just proprietary just to that institution. So if it's if it's a Sodexho card, then we have these Sodexho recipes. But then anybody can go to forward food or under food service. And there are about 100 plant based recipes for anyone. Just be sure you look at the top of the serving size because we are doing larger institutions. Ten is ten to twelve servings. And you could just cut it in half or less. So we are very creative and they're always updating them to make them even better because that's just really for me. Even before I had this job, which is why I started my YouTube channel, my number one way to help animals is by teaching people how to cook without using them. Because everybody loves good food. Not everybody is passionate about their health or the animals and the environment. I wish they were, but everybody likes good food. So that's what we try to do with flawed food. We just try to make great food. In fact, we encourage like K through 12. They're going to add one of our recipes, research shows to not call it vegetarian or vegan. Do not say this is a vegan sloppy Joe today. You know, to use creative adjectives like, you know, spicy, spicy being chili or, you know, something really more descriptive. Doesn't it just say this is a veggie burger, you know, black beans, sweet potato burger or just something? [00:26:34] So the kids are like, well, and likewise, I like to tell people they've been substituting your meat with soy for years now, so don't worry about it. This kind of like Terada going down. [00:26:47] While I don't feel kind of bad for those children who are very conscious and gonda like from birth, who actually are looking for the V word, but because they've probably grown up with it or have educated themselves, that they they understand what it is without being called that. Yeah. You know, it just it just helps if you just use a fun descriptive word like this. Food service director told me they were doing a three bean chili on Fritos, which I know are the most amazing healthy food. But they called it a Frito boat. And the kids love the Frito boats. No, I didn't say anything about it being meatless. Exactly. Oh. [00:27:34] So likewise, you see, you bring your chefs in internally. They're brought in by the Humane Society. What if someone had a school system or something that they wanted you to pitch to? Could they reach out to you or your department? And have you got me? [00:27:48] I cover the Southwest region, but we have coordinators throughout the country. So it's not an I. I do California, Arizona, Utah, Mexico, Colorado, Arizona. So and then we have others of coordinators around the country. So, yes, please reach out to me and I'll connect you with the right people. [00:28:08] That's exciting. Well, I want to climb in to the before we let you go. I want to climb in to your YouTube cooking channel and all of that. [00:28:18] How how long have you been doing it? How long are the episodes? Where can people find your channel on YouTube? [00:28:25] It's actually under my name, Capling Kassner. They call it Vegan vitality, but you can find it under Kathleen Kassner. So when I I left Kansas City five years ago, I saw my yoga studio, which was a big deal because I've had it for 16 years and I really want to dove into wellness and Vegan education. So the ironic thing is how I was not a very good cook. [00:28:50] My husband is the better cook. [00:28:53] I'm not sure we started like on Facebook Live and I just kept telling him, like, I just like we have the greatest chefs to help people if we show them what we eat. You know, we're I'm from Kansas again and he's from Wisconsin. I'm like, we think everyone knows what we eat as vegans, but they probably really don't know. So let's show some of this awesome what we make. So he started filming me and he's in a few of them, too. Because, again, he's actually the better cook. But we started going into a kitchen and it's just been a lot of fun and we have since moved. We have a better kitchen now and we have upgraded our equipment. So I feel like we're just kind of finally starting over. But it's been great to share delicious recipes. And I love hearing the feedback. When people start telling me they're making pineapple fried rice weekly for their families and the kids like, you know. So that makes me excited. We we have a long way to go. So I would really appreciate it if anybody subscribed because I really want to reach more and more people in 2020 and share delivered delicious Vegan brands that I do use. That just simple truth organic, which is a Kroger brand and very affordable and easily accessible. So it's just been a lot of fun. [00:30:06] Yeah, absolutely. Especially with, you know, the friend reached out to me, a colleague, and she called it Kovik cooking. [00:30:13] But, you know, people swapping recipes and channels and getting into things even for those who aren't and, you know, Vegan or Vegan identify to look at some of your recipes and try them out like that's it's an exciting change. And, you know, people have some time right now to maybe get to it and everyone's cooking at home. So it's a great time. [00:30:31] We call it warrantee cooking and we have about 90 recipes on there. We literally made every single favorite dish we have. I'm still researching weekly, trying to come up with more. [00:30:44] No more. Great. Yeah. Absolutely. As we wrap up today, I'm wondering and I know that things have changed because of the current climate with everyone's and the precariousness of where everyone's headed professionally. Things like that. [00:30:59] And so if you haven't had a recent dialog with yourself perhaps before the Cauvin 19 hit, but can you elaborate a little bit about your future goals, both dealing with the Humane Society and Forward Food, as well as like the cooking channel? Where do you see yourself kind of wanting to head or some of your goals for the next one to three years? [00:31:21] Okay, that's a great question. With the Humane Society, we really are working towards helping institutions to go 50 percent plant based in the next four years. Nice. Which is already happening, amazingly so, that's my goal with the Humane Society. And to be honest with you, my goal with my cooking channel is I would love I have a love, honest throat out there. I'll make it a big goal. I would love to have a million subscribers and I would love to have simple truth, organic. Be our sponsor. [00:32:03] Great. Well, there you go. You know, it's it's it's the secret, right? This is a visual verbal vision board. Absolutely. That's a great goal. I love it. A million subscribers and simple truth organic. That's fantastic. Well, we are all out of time today, but I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate everything that you kind of Kathleen. Everything that you've enumerated on. I love the work that you're doing. And I really appreciate all of the information you gave us. So thank you so much for your time. [00:32:35] Thank you so much for the opportunity to share veganism with your audience. [00:32:39] Absolutely. And for everyone listening, we've been talking with Kathleen Kesner. You can find her at Kathleen Kassner dot com. [00:32:46] And you can also find out more about what she's doing at the Humane Society at Forward Food dot org. [00:32:52] And until we speak again next time. Thank you for giving us your time. And remember to eat clean, eat well and always bet on yourself. Stay safe.
I've been taking allergy medicine for almost twenty years. I started with Claritin, moved to Zyrtec, and then added a nasal spray (Flonase).To be fair, they all did the job. But I've been on a health kick this year, so a couple of months ago I decided to scale back the medications I was taking.My nasal spray was the first to go because it was constantly giving me nosebleeds. I mean…it was kind of badass in a way, but it's not particularly practical to walk around looking like Rocky after twelve rounds.The funny thing was, the nosebleeds were actually making my nose more stuffed up, and I felt less allergic when I stopped using my nasal spray!Zyrtec: The REAL CulpritIn high school, I used to struggle to stay awake in class. Same thing in college. Even when I started a freelance design business, I'd need to drink a cup of coffee by noontime just to survive the next five hours.I've struggled with depression and non-zombie behavior (in general) for years, so I finally thought What the hell…maybe I should stop taking my Zyrtec and see what happens.I expected an onslaught of pollen, dust, and mold.But what actually happened was a cloud lifted from my brain. I felt like an actor in one of those Claritin Clear commercials, except instead of drugs curing my allergies, my allergies cured my drugs.What Were the Side-Effects?Sure, I sneeze a few more times every day and my nose occasionally gets itchy, but creatively, it's like someone took a ten-pound weight off my brain.The best way to put it is that I feel like myself again.I've had three days in a row where I illustrated, designed, and wrote for twelve hours straight. Now, it's like…Ok, let's chill the f out—but being too productive is a great problem to have!Basically, what changed is that I'm more alert. I react to things (creatively and emotionally) where they used to hit me with a dull thud.Natural AlternativesAntihistamines like Zyrtec suppress your nervous system's response to dust, pollen, and dog fur, but they can't target those things specifically, so they just end up reducing your immune response to everything.The good news is that you can fight allergies with natural remedies.Nasal Strips: I stick one of these on my nose before going to bed and it opens my breathing up all night. I've been sleeping like a log.Cleaning / Vacuuming: Humans used to migrate constantly, so dust (etc) never collected in our living spaces. The best thing to do for your allergies is keep your house clean by frequently dusting and vacuuming.Sheets / Pillows: The same rule applies to your bedding. Change your sheets every week and use a different pillowcase every night. Sleeping with the same pillowcase is bad for your allergies AND your skin.Unprocessed Food: Eat as many plants as possible and remove processed foods from your diet, as they can cause inflammation and allergic reactions. Stinging nettle tea gets mentioned a lot, but I've never tried it.In case you're wondering, it took me about half an hour to write this article…which is record time for the old “medicated” me, but kind of par for the course now that I've embraced my allergies.I hope this article makes you sneeze. :)—Andrew
In today's episode we walk through the negative effects of mouth breathing on the mouth and body. But more importantly we go over a whole list of tips to clear the nose and decongest. Buteyko breathing exercise, how to properly blow the nose. And Kimi breaks it down on product review for nasal dilators and nose sprays. It's all trial and error, see what works for you! Kimi's favorite nose openers are: mute, extra strength breathe right strips, Flonase, xlear xylitol spray. Megan's website https://orofacial-myology.com and Kimi's is http://mouthmusclememory.com
A month ago, we were at 15 cases of Coronavirus, when "President" Trump told the nation we'd be down to zero cases in a couple of days. We've now exceeded 50,000 cases, so like Flonase is (in)famous for, "15 is greater than 50,000." With the flattening of the curve nowhere yet in sight, The Donald wants to reopen the country on Easter Sunday. In this episode, I predict what ol' Donnie boy will tell the nation on resurrection Sunday.

Ron Barshop, CEO of Beacon Clinics (beaconclinics.com), delivers a stirring overview of their intensive work in the field of allergies. As CEO of Beacon Clinics, a top ancillary income provider for many primary care providers, Barshop is in the center of what's happening and developing in medical science. Beacon has been heavily involved in allergy outcomes, developing industry-leading safety protocols, and increasing patient volume. Barshop talks about Beacon's involvement in the area of allergies, and how the scope is huge because so many people suffer from various allergies. He explains that primary care physicians (PCPs) are starving for ways to stay afloat financially, and allergies is a wide-open field. As Barshop explains, allergies are officially a disease, and there is a cure. He talks about the various types of pollens and weeds that affect people, and his own personal story growing up, suffering from intense allergies. Barshop explains the process of allergy impact, and how the body's immune system tries to rid the allergen, the invader, from the body. He talks about airborne allergy issues and also discusses food allergies, which affects different systems. Barshop explains how skin tests and blood tests are effective at determining the problems a particular patient is dealing with. He explains the differences between taking allergy meds, like Flonase, versus allergy shots, the latter of which he advocates. Sadly, many people find themselves in an endless loop of suffering, medicating, and suffering again. Barshop talks about molds and dust mites, and other major offenders that keep people suffering from a litany of dreadful, nagging symptoms. Barshop explains the importance of mycology. Mycology is the specific branch of biology that deals with the study of fungi, inclusive of its genetic and biochemical properties, their specific taxonomy, and use to human beings as a true and proper source for medicine and food, and inclusive of the various implications for toxicity, etc. Barshop describes Beacon's business model and its efficiency. Barshop's important work has earned him multiple leadership awards as well as prestigious honors in the state of Texas. He was recently named CEO of the Year 2019 by IAOP, and he is a member of many San Antonio civic boards and organizations across the state.

On this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I welcome Laurie Seely on the show to discuss gut health. Laurie is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach specializing in helping people repair their gut from Candida, IBS, and Heavy Metals Toxicity. In this episode, we discuss: -The number one question you should be asking your doctor at your next check up -How you can assess the health of your stool -Simple solutions to improve your gut health -Laurie’s long journey to overcome Candida -And so much more! Resources: Laurie Seely Website Laurie Seely Facebook Young Living Parafree Candida, IBS, and Heavy Metals Education Facebook Group FREE GIFT: 7 STEPS TO KILL CANDIDA CHECKLIST For more information on Laurie: I’m a Functional Medicine Health Coach, a lover of Young Living Essential Oils, a mom to a beautiful little girl, and a professional opera singer, formerly in the chorus at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. I suffered for years with IBS and all the horrible, embarrassing symptoms that came along with it, including a raging candida (yeast) overgrowth. Eeeeew! With help from my health coach and the School of Applied Functional Medicine, I learned how to kill Candida and repair my gut. I am a health detective! Now I teach people how to kill Candida and repair their gut through workshops, group programs, essential oils, and 1-on-1 coaching. Many of my clients find surprising side effects such as extra energy, clearer skin, fewer wrinkles, better digestion, less need for medications, lower blood sugar, and clearer thinking! Laurie Seely Read the full transcript below: Karen Litzy: 00:01 Hey Lori, welcome to the podcast. I am happy to have you on. Laurie Seely: 00:05 I'm so happy to be here. Thank you Karen. Karen Litzy: 00:08 Of course. And as we were talking about before we got on the air, the way that we were introduced to each other is through Christine Gallagher, who's a really wonderful business coach and she was part of my women in PT Summit, in our inaugural summit a couple of years ago. And so I just want to give a quick shout out to Christine for the hookup here. Karen Litzy: 00:31 She’s great. So now obviously in your bio I talked about the fact that you're a functional medicine health coach, but I have a feeling a lot of people aren't exactly sure what that is or what that means. So would you mind giving the listeners a little bit of background on to what that is exactly. Laurie Seely: 00:48 I got a certification as a health coach and then I continued at the school for Applied Functional Medicine and they offer another certification. And basically that's where I learned all my stuff. You learn about just really how to be a health detective because there are so many symptoms of dis-ease that a lot of doctors will label as an illness. And I was very interested in this kind of, it's not really medicine, but I was very interested in this kind of health detective work because I went through this whole thing myself with IBS and Candida and I still had a couple of pieces left to really, really find health for myself. And it was at this school that I've finally put in the last couple of pieces to make that happen. And so, in the process I became a functional medicine health coach. Isn't that cool? Now I help other people that had the same sort of problems that I once had. Karen Litzy: 02:08 Yeah. And I feel like oftentimes that's kind of the way life takes us, right? We kind of have these experiences and we figure them out for ourselves and then we try and delve a little bit deeper to widen the net and then help others. So I think it's great when you can kind of make that change. But a question, what were you doing before you were a health coach? Laurie Seely: 02:32 Well, I was an opera singer actually. I was singing fulltime in the chorus at the lyric opera of Chicago, which was really, really fun. And actually I just recently quit there. I was doing both at the same time for a while, which was a really difficult juggle. And I feel like this is where my heart lies and my passion now. So yeah, I was an opera singer. Karen Litzy: 03:12 What a career, what a career switch. Yeah. I love talking to people who have had different careers within their life because I always think like it gives people hope, you know? So if you're not doing exactly what you love right now, that there's hope, you may find that thing that kind of, like you said, gives you your passion. Right? Fantastic. All right, so now let's talk about the health coaching aspect of things. So let's say I'm one of your clients. I come to you and I've already been to my doctor or maybe I'm going to see my doctor. So what are some important questions that maybe doctors should be asking us that they're not? Maybe that, yeah, we're not delving into as much. Laurie Seely: 03:49 So I think that the number one most important question a doctor can ask you is what does your poop look like? And specifically, what does it look like and how often do you poop? Because that is your body's way of telling you when there's something wrong. I learned that functional medicine school that most dis ease begins in the gut. We don't say all because we just want to, you know, 99.9% of disease begins in the gut, I would say, right? And that's your first indication. That's your body telling you, hey, there's something wrong. You know? And so we need to be educated on our part. What poops should look like. Right. And I feel like this should be like on the commercials on TV instead of like, you know what pharmaceutical drug can help you with your IBS. Laurie Seely: 04:52 They should be telling us what our poop should look like so it doesn't have to go all the way to IBS. We can see right at the beginning, you know what, I'm pooping little marbles like that's, that was my problem for most of my life. Little marbles with occasional bouts of diarrhea and I went for close to 40 years not knowing that there was anything wrong. If one doctor had asked me what my poop looked like when I was say 12 years old and I was old enough to kind of tell him, well about nine times a day I'm pooping little balls. He'd be like, wow, there's something wrong with you. We need to figure out what it is. And I feel like there's so many people who are in the same boat, you know, it never would have gotten to candida for me. I had a yeast infection for a year, every single day. And if somebody had asked me at 12 years old, what does my poop look like? I just, I feel like it never would have gotten that bad. And I feel like there's so many other people in this world who are in the same boat, you know, and who are maybe at some sort of state of disease that really could have been kind of nipped in a bud years ago when it was much less. Karen Litzy: 06:05 Hmm. Yeah. And so if we're going there, right? We're going to talk about poop right now. We're in it, we're doing it. Laurie Seely: If you have a conversation with me long enough, it'll eventually go there. Karen Litzy: Yes. This is it. Obviously a very good question that your doctor should be asking, but now if people listening to this next time they go to their doctor, they can bring this up, correct? Laurie Seely: 06:33 Yeah, absolutely. And you want to be very clear because even doctors can mess up with this. You know, there was one chiropractor that I was at who asked, we sort of, we get treated in the same room, a bunch of us, and there was another client, they're getting treated at the same time. And she was making comments that kind of made the chiropractor and me kind of go to, sounds like you're constipated, but we didn't say that. And he asked her, how's your digestion? Laurie Seely: 07:04 She’s like oh, it's fine. And then he left the room and I said, what does your poop look like? How many times do you poop a day? And she said, Oh, I'm pooping like once every 10 days. Oh my God. Yeah. So I was like, wow. Like I didn't want to alarm her, but I sort of explained, you know, that it shouldn't be that way. So, that's the thing, when you talk to your doctor, like get gross, get like in it, tell them what it looks like, what it feels like, the texture, the smell, how long it takes to pass, because they need to know all of those things. And sometimes the doctor's going to get grossed out by that. And you know what, find a different one because you need to be able to talk about this stuff. Karen Litzy: 07:45 Okay. So let's talk about what it should look like. So there is a chart called the Bristol stool chart. So can you tell us what it is and what it should look like? Laurie Seely: 07:59 So on the chart it goes from number one to number seven. So number one is constipation and that's the tiny little balls. Number seven is diarrhea, that's watery stools. And number four is Nirvana poop. Like exactly what it's supposed to be like. It's like soft serve, ice cream texture. And it's not going to smell very much. It's going to be light brown in texture, easy to pass. We're talking one or two minutes and it's all gone all out and it leaves almost nothing to wipe. So that's the, the good stuff. And then they have, you know, the different levels in between one, four and seven also. So you can, you can Google that. There's like great illustrations online. Karen Litzy: 08:50 And so obviously if you're at a one or a seven, we pretty much know something's up, right? Yep. So four is perfect. What if you're at three or a five? I mean, are these things to be worried about? Laurie Seely: 08:56 I honestly, I don't think so. If you're at a three or a five, it's probably not your norm. If that makes sense. Like you want to look at where, where is it usually? Right? What is your pattern? If you have a couple of days with a little bit of stress and suddenly you're pooping tiny little balls, but then you get back to a number four after that, you're good. It was the stress you got over it. Right. Do a little yoga, some deep breathing, you'll be fine. Same thing happens with diarrhea. You know, a lot of people get stressed diarrhea. So if that's a temporary thing and it's due to stress that's temporary, then you're fine. Laurie Seely: 09:49 If it's happening all the time, then you need to know that, yeah, it's a problem and you need to do some detective work there and that's time to do a stool test or to do any number of blood tests for parasites and stuff like that. So that's time when you want to, you want to find out what's causing it. A lot of times like, okay, so I went to my gastroenterologist, I said, I have IBS, I'm constipated all the time. Sometimes I have diarrhea. I told her the whole story and she said, we don't know what causes IBS. Laurie Seely: 10:24 So that's another indication that you need a new doctor. So that's what I did. I got a new doctor because there are so many things that cause IBS and that's time to just find yourself a health detective and figure it out. There's a great test from the Meridian Valley lab called a comprehensive stool analysis and Parasitology times three. So that will tell you all of the expected beneficial flora that you want in there. It'll measure imbalanced flora. Any flora that's dysbiotic or like out of crazy, out of balance. So you know exactly really what's supposed to be there. It's also going to measure how much yeast you have in there because everybody pretty much has yeast in their digestive tract. It's just when it gets overgrown and it's bad. And then it also measures like mucus and then it checks for parasites and it's a three day test. Laurie Seely: 11:26 So if you find a doctor that gave you a stool test and it's just from one bowel movement, that's not a good enough test. If it finds something cool, then you got lucky. But it's good to test over the period of at least three days. There are some stool tests that go up to six days. So the reason for that is that the bacteria and the parasites and the candida, it all travels in groups like in clumps, they like to stick together like a school of fish, right? And from one bowel movement you could be full of parasites and in one bowel movement you pass a whole bunch that doesn't have any parasites in it because they were hanging out somewhere else in your colon. So that's why you want to test over three days. So then you have a pretty good chance that if there's any parasites in there, you've found them. Karen Litzy: 12:27 Yeah, that makes sense to me. And now let's say you do this test and something is positive. Where do you go from there? Laurie Seely: Well, there's a lot of things you can do about that. It depends on your doctor. He might give you a pharmaceutical antiparasitic drug to take, which can be effective and there's the possibility that it's not effective as well. You always want to retest. What I do with my clients is I use a product from young living essential oil as it's the best thing that I've found so far, the most effective and it's called para free and it's full of various essential oils and all. So, other ingredients that are known to support intestinal health and are, I can't say that they're known to kill things because it hasn't been approved by the FDA, but I've seen in my practice and in my own body and in my mother's body, that it clears up parasites. Karen Litzy: 15:29 So now let's say you do this comprehensive stool analysis and you find something, it's treated either by your physician with the pharmaceutical or through the essential oils, but I guess it's probably important to note that with the essential oils that like you said, they're not FDA approved and they're not studied or tested. It's just more like anecdotal stuff. Laurie Seely: 16:01 There are many case studies and actually it seems like from the case studies that the para free is actually more useful. Karen Litzy: 16:14 Well it would probably behoove someone to do some research on that because it's hard to I think get buy in from a lot of people when something isn't well-researched. That's a word I was going to say, test it. But research is probably better. Probably a better way to put that. So, you know, at least someone will, we'll do that to help people make a better decision. Laurie Seely: 16:50 Right. Well, here's a thing, the reason why they're not FDA approved is not because the FDA looked into it and disapproved them. It's because the FDA doesn't want to waste their time on something that can't be patented because they're natural ingredients in there. They're not synthetic versions of natural ingredients it’s the actual natural ingredient. And so those things can't be patented and they can't, you know, companies can't make money off of that. And so the FDA doesn't want to use their funding on that. Karen Litzy: 17:23 Right. Yeah. Well hopefully someone can do like a nice comparative study between that and a pharmaceutical and see what works and what doesn't. Laurie Seely: 17:34 I think one of the issues that pharmaceuticals are usually aimed at just one thing. And the para free has been useful in treating a wide range of parasites. So it's like throwing a huge blanket on it. You Kill Them all. But you're right. You're right. It'd be nice if it were more widely publicized. Karen Litzy: 18:05 All right. Now let's say we talked about this a little bit. Let's say you're on the one of the Bristol stool chart, which means that you're constipated and everyone at some point in their life has been, and we know it's not comfortable, so how can we relieve this? Laurie Seely: 18:29 So there's a couple of different ways. It depends on what's causing it. So before doing a stool test, I would try, what I'm going to tell you now, I would first look at how much water are you drinking every day. So the rule of thumb for how much water you should be drinking is you see how many pounds you weigh, divide that by two. And that's how many ounces of water you should be drinking every day. So if you weigh 140, you should be drinking at least 70 ounces of water per day. Right? Now there's a lot of people who are already doing that, but there are a lot of people for whom that would be quite a bit of water. That's really what we need to be doing because, the number one and the Bristol stool chart is an indication that your stool is dehydrated and you're still maybe dehydrated just because you're not drinking enough water, it's possible that the muscles along your colon aren’t functioning absolutely properly and that you're just moving along slowly because there's not enough water in your stool. Laurie Seely: 19:36 So that's the simplest fix. Right? And then also if you do that and you find that it doesn't fix it or it improves it, now you're still drinking more water. Another thing to do is consider that maybe you don't have enough magnesium intake. So a lot of us don't have enough magnesium just because we're not getting it anymore from the fruits and vegetables because of modern day farming practices. It's not in the soil. So if it's not in the soil, can't be in the vegetables and that's where we're supposed to be getting our magnesium from. So we use supplements. So there's, the form of magnesium that helps to stimulate the bowels is called magnesium citrate. And so you just see, you try taking some magnesium citrate and there's a very easy way to figure out how much of that you need. Laurie Seely: 20:32 You want to get the powdered version because it's easier to lower or raise your intake right then like taking a capsule. And so you start with half a teaspoon of magnesium citrate. And you do that for about three days because it takes a while for it to build up in our bodies. And if after about three days you're not moving along the way you want to be, then you raise it by another half teaspoon and you just keep doing that in three day intervals like that until you're where you want to be. And it's possible that you might go up a little too far and have diarrhea and then you know, for sure that half a teaspoon or less than that is what you need. Karen Litzy: 21:17 Right, right. Yeah. So it's a little bit of trial and error there, but I get it. Laurie Seely: 21:22 I mean that if you're trying to do things naturally, that's how it is. Karen Litzy: 21:27 Yeah, for sure. Okay. So we've got lack of water, lack of magnesium. Anything else that can contribute? Laurie Seely: 21:35 Well, we always say we should have more fiber. Right? And that could be part of it as well. So you want to make sure that you're eating enough vegetables because I never recommend a person to get their fiber from things like shredded wheat or bread or things like that. But that's what we see in the media, right? We see like, oh, have your high fiber bread and that's going to help you. Well, wheat actually can irritate the colon. Whether you have a sensitivity to it or not because of the way that it's being produced nowadays. It's a very common irritant. And so that could be, I mean, maybe you're eating bread and that's your problem, right? So if you feel like maybe it's a fiber issue, then the way to get fibers through vegetables and I'm talking about like spinach, Kale, leafy Greens. Karen Litzy: 22:34 Yeah. So that makes sense. So you want to start having more water, kind of eating a little bit healthier and things may even out for you. Okay, great. So is there anything else with constipation that we didn't go over about kind of how to relieve it or what might be causing it? Laurie Seely: 22:55 Well, those are the places that I would start. And if you don't make any headway there, then got to find yourself a health detective, I think. Karen Litzy: 23:07 Yeah. Yeah. All right. Sounds good. Now you made mention of this earlier, but, and I know it's part of your history and kind of why you became a health coach, but talk a little bit about Candida and what it was like for you for 10 plus years. Laurie Seely: 23:28 So, my whole life, this whole thing with my digestion just kept getting worse. I didn't even know that I had a problem. I was unaware of it. That's why I'm here. Like educating people about it, bringing it into the light. Eventually I started having like three to six or more yeast infections every single year, which I also didn't know, but that's considered frequent for yeast infections. And then eventually, this is a little while after I had my daughter. My immune system just tanked and so did my thyroid and I had a yeast infection for every day for an entire year. I remember spending a week at Disney with an itch that I couldn't scratch. It was just horrible. So that's when I finally, I took the plunge. I was googling the whole time, like, there's probably a good 10 years that I was like, why am I getting so many yeast infections? Laurie Seely: 24:32 And I would Google that and it would come up as a candida, you know, a systemic candida infection. I was like, no, no, no. It couldn't be that, because then I of course googled the remedy for that. And it just seemed like so hard and such a problem to go through that I was like, no, it's gotta be something else. It can't be that. So when I finally admitted it, I mean, that was the first day of the rest of my life, you know? And, I started my journey to health Karen Litzy: 25:11 So aside from having the recurrent and constant yeast infections, was there anything else that you noticed that maybe you ignored? Laurie Seely: 25:20 Yes. Looking back, I started to have, when I wasn't constipated, I was having far more urgent diarrhea, which actually led to like public accidents. Very, very embarrassing. And I got some allergies that I had always had some allergies, but it was just so bad that I was seeing an allergist and I was using Flonase and other steroid nasal sprays. And of course that was just making my problem worse because steroids actually kill gut bacteria and that was the root of my problem. And then after that allergies then more yeast infections. That was I think the allergies and the more frequent diarrhea that I didn't put it together. I didn't understand. Karen Litzy: 26:19 Yeah. And that always seems to be the way because especially when you're in it, it's kind of like hard to connect all those dots, right? Because you're just trying to take care of the symptoms. Laurie Seely: 26:30 I was constantly putting band aids on symptoms, not realizing that they had a common cause. And sinus infections also. Yeast kinda likes to live in the warm, wet areas and sinuses are a really good place for them to take up shop. And I had that problem too. Karen Litzy: 26:50 Gosh. What a way to go through life. Laurie Seely: Yeah. Yeah. And you know, there's so many people who are really experiencing this all the time still and also haven't connected the dots, you know. Karen Litzy: Well, you know, hopefully you can raise a little bit more awareness for people and have them be a little more aware of how they poop yes. And what it looks like and the consistency and this smell and all that stuff so that hopefully we can, cause you know, what you put in your body's got to come out, right? So, I think it's important that we pay attention to what our body is doing because like you said, our bodies are pretty good at telling us when things are wrong. When things are out of homeostasis and if checking your poop, that seems pretty easy to me so then you could say, oh, this doesn't seem right. Maybe I should call my doctor about this. Laurie Seely: Exactly. Yes, exactly. Just have to pay attention. Karen Litzy: Yes, we have to pay attention. Well, now is there anything that maybe we didn't cover that you feel like who I really want your listeners to know this. Laurie Seely: 28:21 I think we got everything. Karen Litzy: All right, well then I have one last question for you and it's a question that I ask everyone, and that's knowing where you are now in your life and your career. What advice would you give to yourself, let's say right out of school, or maybe in your case when you first started getting into the opera world? Laurie Seely: 29:05 Oh, well this is, yes. Advice that I wish I'd had. Just keep trying get used to hearing no. Laurie Seely: 29:20 Because in the opera world we deal with a lot of rejection. There's a lot of auditions and you might get out of, I don't know, 20 auditions, you might get one job. So I really would have liked to start to hear that, to know that it was normal. You have all these auditions and just get one job, you know? But I have a very stick-to-it-ness sort of nature to me and I rolled with it. Karen Litzy: 29:52 Gosh, I'm sure so many people have been in your boat many times over and would have loved to have had that advice. And now you have, which I'm very grateful for, something for the listeners. So what is a Freebie for people? Laurie Seely: 30:10 So I have a seven step program that I use with my clients to help them get over candida and repair their gut. And I have a blog post on my website that goes through those seven steps. And it also has a very handy downloadable checklist that you can use as you're going through the program. Laurie Seely: 30:42 So, and it also has a very nice list of Anti-candida foods, foods that are allowed and not allowed on the anti-Candida, a diet that is very handy to print out and just hang in your kitchen so that you can check it every once in a while and see what kind of recipes you want to make for yourself. Because when you're doing the Anti Candida Diet, it can be very difficult and very depressing to try and figure out what there is that you can eat without feeding your candy jar. So for anybody who sort of was thinking, oh, that might be me, I don't know, you can go to my website and check out that post. And there's so many other posts on there about IBS and Candida and food sensitivities and all that stuff. You can go down quite a worm hole on my website. Karen Litzy: 31:33 Perfect. And we'll have the link to the seven steps to kill Candida checklist. We will have the link to that in the show notes over at podcast.healthywealthysmart.com so you can one click and it'll take you there. And where can people find you? Laurie Seely: 31:55 I am at laurieseely.com and I'm also on Facebook at Laurie Seely functional medicine health coach. And I also have a group on Facebook called Candida Ibs and heavy metals education group. Karen Litzy: 32:14 Awesome. And again, we'll have all the links to that. So if you have questions you want to get in touch with Laurie, you can pop over to her website. If you weren't writing all this down, you can go to the podcast website, click onto it and it'll take you right there. So Laurie, thank you so much for coming on and talking to us about poop which is a first for me on the podcast. Laurie Seely: So that's awesome. I'm so glad I get my bad for you. Karen Litzy: It was at first. And hopefully people, no pun intended, got a lot out of this. So Lori, thanks so much for coming on and everyone else, thanks so much for listening. Have a great couple of days and stay healthy, wealthy, and smart. Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Carla: Hello Dr Cabral love your podcast and is an raises health conciousnes on so many levels. Around 9 years ago I removed my amalgam filings just the regular way without a holistic practitioner at that time it was more for aesthetic purposes, I really didn’t know about the dangers, and all the mercury etc . Even the dentist wasn’t aware since he was a conventional doctor. Is there any particular symptoms or any steps to detox that you recommended. Kyle: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a veterinarian in Colorado and have been listening ever since you were on with Jay Ferruggia. I really like your approach and have implemented your recommendations/ideas for my own health with much success. I want to be able to use this approach with my patients as a veterinarian but have a hard time finding information on the veterinary side. I have a multi part question. I was reading a book called "canine nutrigenomics: new science of feeding your dog" and while I like a lot of what they say, they did recommend one of the author's tests to check for food sensitivities. They use IgM and claim it is better than IgG. I know you disagree for people. Do you have any thoughts on this. I don't like that fact that its the authors test at the lab she owns. I have heard negative things about other test at this lab. What do you do for your own dog? Do you think we could use functional testing for dogs? Do you think the detoxing and your other philosophies can be applied to dogs? Some things I think are easy and I do for my own dogs such as avoiding plastics, using probiotics, omegas-3's, etc. The more I think about it the more I worry that our "classic" recommendations and traditional training may be making some things worse. Thanks Rachael: Is the Daily Nutritional Support Shake save on a SIBO diet? Taylor: Hi, I’ve been more of a recent listener. But I love the Cabral Concept! I’ve recently purchased the Rain Barrel Effect and am currently reading that. I’ve been wanting to do more with my life and finding my passion and career and it was almost a sign that Dr. Cabral mentioned his integrative health practitioner certificate or health coach certificate on his show. I was looking for more information on this but didn’t seem to find what I was looking for on the website. Anyway someone could point me in the right direction? Thanks! Taylor Leon: Hey Dr. Cabral. Great show. I've been doing the programs in your Man's Guide book and been getting god results. I am 5'6, 154 pounds, and really ripped. The issue I have is on some abdominal exercises like reverse crunches or even on single arm rows I get a sharp pain in lower abs area. It kinda moves and renders me immobile for a while. I stretch it out but it makes me really wary. Is this common or could it be a hernia or something? How do I work around it? Keep up great work Jessica: Hi there, I have been diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. I am doing vestibular exercises, chiro and seeing a naturopath (whom I love). I have done allergy testing (the acupressure one) and have a lot of snsitivities. I do find eating clean definitely helps a lot and It is better but I still can kick it. I am in Canada and other then my chiro (who is a neuro specialist) there are only western medicine practitioners all of which either say I just live with it or they send me off to the next. Do you or anyone in your team have any advice on another pathway or a practitioner east of Toronto that specializes in vestibular disorders? Joshua: I’m a long time listener to the Cabral concept and a big fan. I’ve recently been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head.im only 32 years old and do not want a total hip replacement. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do naturally to avoid this. Thank you for any advice you can give and for all the knowledge you spread on a daily basis. Lauren: My daughter is 2.8 and has food allergies to eggs and peanuts. We’re starting a tolerance induction program (TIP), has similarities to OIT but diff. The program is one year to 1.5 years depending on the number of allergens and severity. The doctor that does that program puts the kids on Zyrtec or something of that form, but not Benadryl (masks reactions) for the entire length of the program plus something like Flonase. It’s a low dosage daily.the reason for this is to keep the immmune system calm. We have our first appointment coming up (intake) but haven’t agreed to anything yet. I want my child to be cured of these food allergies (serious we have Epi pens not just sensitivity) but I’m nervous to have her take these medications daily. Food allergies as you know are scary and serious, but I don’t want to hurt her more in the process by taking a medication daily. What would you do if it was your child and how dangerous is this to her organs? Your input on the whole topic is greatly appreciated. I listen to you often and love the information you share.You’re level of knowledge is very motivating!

Do you have chronic sinus issues, dizziness, brain fog, ear ringing? Or do you have to clear your throat often or have a stuffy nose often? Do you rely on Flonase to function? This day in age it seems like everyone is suffering from some type of allergy. There's a connection between sinus issues and your digestive health. The more your digestive system is struggling to manage the foods that you eat the more it activates your immune system. In this episode Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why leaky gut is on the rise and it's producing a society relying on Flonase and allergy medications.
Beginning an episode without a Most Markleous Headline of the Week was rough, but you know what? We powered through anyway--mostly because there was Royal Wedding news to get through (hello Janina Gavankar!) so it didn't actually feel like our second-favorite recurring segment had ended. Anyhoo, this week, we talked about Canadian socialite (and Meghan's best friend) Jessica Mulroney and why her husband is a lot like Billy Bush, someone named Clayne Crawford who's feuding with a Wayans brother, and why you'll never be able to look at Flonase the same way again.
We are taking Big Shots today. Instead of a quick recap into news articles like we do with 3 Shots, we go into further depth with several news stories. We tackle things like opioid pain medicine vs over the counter medicine, a new test for detecting heart disease, metformin and diabetes, red yeast rice for cholesterol (or was it red beans and rice?) and we will spin the Wheel of Medicine once again. Subscribe to our show and let your friends and family know, too, so they can get and stay healthy! We dive deep into medicine so you don't have to. You stay safe (and informed) swimming in the shallows. We present the best studies and research in easy to understand and entertaining ways. We gladly accept show topics and ideas from our listeners.

Julie Klam is the author of five books whose previous two memoirs have focused on seeing her life through the lens of dogs and dog rescue.Her latest, “The Stars in Our Eyes: The Famous, the Infamous, and Why we care Way Too Much about Them,” is something of a departure, and clearly something 15-Minutes-worthy, to say the least. About the book, Us Weekly writes, “In her eye-opening and humorous collection of essays, Julie Klam explores the fascination with the rich and powerful, while also breaking down the challenges tied to fame and why all this actually matters.”We talked about everything from Patti LuPone’s Flonase addiction (KIDDING about the addiction part, but Mis LuPone and nasal spray do come up), her friend Timothy Hutton, what it’s like to make your first appearance on The Tonight Show, and lots of other juicy stuff! Also, stay tuned at the end for our first 15 Minutes celebrity endorsement!Link to the book trailer with Timothy Hutton we discussed:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpuX3hsjegY See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
It's time to get started with our first #HouseCall of the weekend! We have so many great community questions this weekend and it's best we just dive right in! Sue: Hi, Few questions regarding cooking. I often cook with coconut oil as I hear cooking with olive oil isn't healthy? Please can you confirm if I'm doing the right thing. Also, I often heat food up I've cooked in the microwave - can you let me know what the dangers to this are?? Thanks for answering. I love your show! Lindsey: Hi Stephen, Quick question as I know you have lots of questions. You talk about ginger tea a lot and I love ginger.. do you have a specific recipe for this tea? Thanks Jess: Hello!! Thank you for all that your doing in the world, would you be able to talk about Miso soup? Is it healthy and beneficial to our bodies? Thanks in advance! Brook: Hi, Dr. Cabral. For around 1.5 years my husband (23 yo) has needed to wear a breathing strip 24/7. He has suffered from asthma since he was five years old, but this is a relatively new issue resulting in him needing to breath through his mouth and wear breathing strips out in public which is very embarrassing for him. He recently visited an ENT. The ENT Dr. said that he has a mildly deviated septum but the main issue is inflamed blood vessels that partially block his nasal passages. He was prescribed a nasal steroid, Flonase, and the doctor said that if the steroid doesn't help then surgery could be an option. In the last 1.5 years his diet has improved tremendously but he now has more stress in his daily life. In addition, he does take Advair twice daily for his asthma, which is his only prescription medication. My husband has voiced the desire to get off his Advair, but we're not sure how to begin that journey along with figuring out how what to do about his nasal vessels and breathing. Thanks so much, Dr. Cabral. I really enjoy your podcast and am thankful for your knowledge and love for healing. Hope to implement and teach patients about functional principals once I start working as an RN! Brooke Anon: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for everything you do. I have rather an embarrassing question but don't know who else to turn to. My doctor says I'm fine but I don't feel fine. I recently noticed gray stains on all my bra cups and sometimes, my nipples would get very itchy. I'm 25 years old and not pregnant. My grandmother (on my mom's side) had breast cancer. Thanks in advance for your help Yvonne: Hi doctor, I'm a 28 year old female. I always have whitish vaginal discharge without any pain or itchiness. But, if I have sex with my partner, cheesy cottage white discharge is emitted and vagina will start feeling itchy and sex will feel painful. If i do not have sex, I have another kind of vaginal discharge before and after my period. Is this normal? Haley: Why do you recommend not cooking with oils? I've read that baking/sauteeing/etc with coconut oil (supposedly because it has a higher temperature tolerance) is okay. I would love to know why you recommend cooking without oils - I think I heard you mention that in episode #357, when sharing your favorite healthy fries recipe. Let me know! Thanks so much for all you do - I can't stop listening to and sharing these podcasts! :) I hope you're having a great weekend and enjoyed the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/435 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

I just listened to this episode before I uploaded it, and doing that made me realize that Melanie and I had a guest co-host this week that we failed to mention: THE POLLEN. Oh my goodness. I cough, Alex coughs, I sniff, Alex coughs, I take sip after sip of Crystal Light to try to soothe my throat, and then Alex coughs some more. So basically the whole podcast is like waiting with a child in the sick room of a peditrician's office. I'm just as sorry as I can be about that, but the pine pollen is just about more than we can stand right now. At least I didn't resort to using Flonase or a Neti pot at any point in the proceedings. As usual, we talk about many unrelated things: Melanie's new career as a mom DJ / choreographer, my weekend in Oklahoma, my quest for a new spring purse, Mel's fancy dinner this past Saturday night, my exciting MSU baseball-related achievement, the season premiere of Mad Men, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember. But by all means, if you'd like to shop with us as we look at purses, click on over to the Noonday bags page; we talk about these purses for a solid 10 minutes. Hope y'all enjoy!
