Czym jest zdrowa relacja z ciałem? Jak ją nawiązać? Do czego może doprowadzić długoterminowe odcięcie się od ciała? Jak pracować z rozpoznanymi w nim emocjami? Czy w przypadku ich zawieszenia możemy sięgnąć po konkretne ćwiczenia? I czy możemy praktykować je w domu?Metoda Aleksandra Lowena nazywana jest powszechnie analizą bioenergetyczną. Opierając się na przekonaniu, że to ciało integruje osobowość, proces terapeutyczny odbywa się nie tylko na drodze analizy intelektualnej, ale równolegle za pomocą diagnozy i pracy przez ciało. Jeżeli zostanie mu przywrócona miękkość i swoboda, powróci też żywotność. Z nią przyjdzie radość istnienia i przyjemność z życia.Gościnią odcinka jest Marzena Barszcz – psychoterapeutka i terapeutka manualna, która ukończyła Certified Training Program the Florida Society for Bioenergetic Analysis.

Changing your mindset as a leader is a magical gift. It allows you to manage yourself, and therefore, your team, with greater empathy. The beautiful truth about changing yourself is that some change can happen very quickly and it is always worth the investment.

We discuss how empowering it is to make time for necessary changes, to refill your own tank so you aren't always depleted, and the value in investing in your own leadership and management skills.

And this can  include changing yourself. As you listen to this episode, I hope this truth encourages you as much as it does me. “I think the biggest gift for me has been the change in mindset… learning how to deal with my own mind… managing your team is definitely very important but you also have to manage yourself… changing the way that I see things and how I analyze, like a problem, has been a huge gift…” – Dr. Camysha Wright What You'll Learn  Stepping into the ins and outs of business Empowering yourself to make time  Investing in your own leadership and management Expanding your mindset is a huge gift  Giving space for refilling your own tank Changing yourself in a day Meet Dr. Camysha Wright Dr. Camysha Wright is a Board Certified Ear, Nose and Throat Physician in Plantation, Florida and runs a full service clinic for children and adults.

Surrogacy and adoption can be incredibly fulfilling experiences, both for intended parents and gestational carriers. However, for hopeful parents considering surrogacy or adoption, legal processes and issues can be complicated and overwhelming at times, particularly as they relate to the parental rights of the surrogate or the biological parents putting a child up for adoption.

Today’s infertility patients are more informed, empowered, and have more choice than ever before. 77% of patients search their physician online before booking an appointment, and almost three quarters (72%) of patients use online reviews as the very first step to finding a new doctor.Social media has become a go-to source of information, particularly where infertility patients are concerned. There is a lot of empowering and useful information on social media, but misleading and inaccurate data exist online as well. How do you know when a reproductive endocrinologist is telling the whole truth, and how can you spot a potential conflict of interest?When selecting an infertility clinic, patients want accessibility and connection with the clinics they choose, over and above excellent care. Many clinics near you may be honest, trustworthy, and genuinely care about the patient. So what sets one apart from the rest?

Of women with endometriosis, 30-50% are estimated to have infertility, and among women with infertility, 25-50% are believed to have endometriosis.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been helping women and couples overcome fertility challenges for almost 40 years. Up until recently, IVF has traditionally used fresh eggs retrieved from a woman fertilized ‘in vitro’ in a laboratory with a spouse’s or donor’s sperm to create an embryo. However, egg freezing for future use has risen in popularity. Often, using frozen eggs comes with both cost and scheduling advantages over using fresh ones. So, which is better?

Listen NowThe administration and the Congress are currently discussing various proposals to reform drug pricing policy.  Drug prices, as listeners are likely well aware, have risen substantially over the past two decades.  For example, between 1997 and 2007 they tripled and currently year-over-year Medicare Part D drug spending is expected to grow through 2026 at twice the 2007 through 2013 growth rate.   The administration formally began its effort last May with the announcement of its drug pricing "blueprint."  The Congress is currently holding hearings, e.g., the Senate Finance and House Oversight committees, on drug pricing.  The administration currently is proposing two drug pricing reforms that would address both Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D drug pricing and the Congress has already introduced several bills to curb drug price growth.     During this 28 minute conversation Dr. Levin discusses ATAP's mission and funding and ATAP's position on the administration's current proposal to reform Medicare Part B drug pricing via reference pricing or via the use of an international price index.  Dr. Levin discusses moreover the administration's current proposal to reform Medicare Part D drug pricing by eliminating or prohibiting drug manufacturers from paying a rebate to pharmaceutical benefit managers (PBMs) and Part D plan sponsors.  Our conversation concludes with Dr. Levin's comments concerning the long standing debate whether the Secretary of DHHS should be allowed to negotiate Part D drug prices with manufacturers.   Dr. Robert Levin is the President of the Alliance for Transparent and Affordable Prescriptions (ATAP), President of the Florida Society of Rheumatology and is a practicing physician in Tampa Bay.  He teaches medicine at the University of South Florida and has served as a principal investigator in dozens of clinical trials involving rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, lower back pain and fibromylagia.    Dr. Levin is board certified in Internal Medicine with a sub-specialty in rheumatoid arthritis and is a fellow with the American College of Rheumatology and the American College of Physicians.  He earned his medical degree at Hahnemann University in Pennsylvania, did his residency at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from Oberlin College in Ohio.   For information on ATAP go to: https://atapadvocates.com/. Concerning the proposed Medicare drug rebate proposal go to: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-02-06/pdf/2019-01026.pdf.For an overview of drug pricing issues, see, for example, Hopkins Professor Gerald Anderson's recent Senate Finance Committee testimony, at: https://oversight.house.gov/legislation/hearings/examining-the-actions-of-drug-companies-in-raising-prescription-drug-prices.  This is a public episode.

Reproductive medicine has advanced dramatically and often presents couples with complex choices that can only be made on an individual basis. Preimplantation genetic screening or testing (PGS) is a powerful technology employed before implantation to help identify genetic defects within embryos.

The procedure also comes with potential ethical concerns regarding the existing limits of the test.In this episode, Serena Chen, M.D., director for the division of reproductive medicine in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Saint Barnabas Medical Center and a clinical associate professor at Rutgers, UMDNJ Medical School, joins host Mark P.
