When people think about wealth-building, they picture stock charts, IRR calculators, and "smart" portfolios engineered by advisors. What they never picture is a dentist quietly building long-term wealth through trees or using a whole life policy as the cheapest, most flexible source of capital in his business. That narrow view hides one of the most powerful truths about high-net-worth families today: the real wealth is built through boring, patient, predictable decisions that compound for decades… not the high-IQ investing most people obsess over. Most high earners are told to focus on returns. Jeff flips that equation. He focuses on building a life. He invests based on clarity, intention, and a long-term vision of what he wants his days to look like. Once you have that vision, the decisions become simple. You stop chasing the market and checking performance and start building something inevitable. In this episode, I sit down with dentist, entrepreneur, and long-term investor, Dr. Jeff Seibert. We unpack how he creates wealth by ignoring the noise, lowering his cost of capital, buying assets that grow while he sleeps, and designing his portfolio around the life he actually wants.    Guest Bio Dr. Jeff Seibert is a successful dentist and serial entrepreneur known for building highly profitable, well-run practices and using them as engines to fund private investments. What sets him apart is his refreshingly unique philosophy: he doesn't chase quick returns or market noise. He builds businesses and buys assets that compound quietly for decades, giving him freedom, control and long-term wealth without stress or speculation.   About Your Host From pro-snowboarder to money mogul, Chris Naugle has dedicated his life to being America's #1 Money Mentor.

From Trauma to Triumph: Dr. John A. King on Living from the Inside Out   Most of us carry invisible stories — old pain, expectations, and patterns that shape how we live, lead, and love. Dr. John A. King knows that journey firsthand. After surviving years of childhood abuse and losing everything when his repressed memories resurfaced at 45, he had to rebuild his identity from the ground up. Today, he helps men recover from trauma, rediscover authenticity, and live from the inside out through The Phoenix Collective and Mindfire Challenge.   This conversation isn't just about surviving the past — it's about reclaiming your agency, rebuilding your inner world, and redefining what "success" really means.   Key Points:  Healing starts with honesty. Dr. John says most people avoid the truth because it's uncomfortable — but authenticity is the foundation of healing. You can't transform what you won't face. Men process pain differently. Men connect "shoulder to shoulder," not "face to face." Healing often happens through shared experiences — working, walking, or even just sitting together — not traditional talk therapy alone. Your past should refine you, not define you. Dr. John reminds us that the goal isn't to erase the past but to let it shape you into someone stronger and more self-aware. "Regret," he says, "is a waste of chemical and time." Purpose, mission, vision, and values keep you on track. When these four are aligned, your "no's" become automatic. You stop saying yes to everything and start saying yes to what truly matters. Success is about preparedness, not luck. Echoing Earl Nightingale, Dr. John says success happens when opportunity meets preparedness. Don't chase the moment — prepare for it.   Money Learning from Dr. John:  Dr. John grew up in a home that was financially stretched and emotionally unsafe — a mix that taught him early how money and stress can distort values. His lesson: "You can make money and do good — integrity and wealth are not opposites." True prosperity comes from living in alignment, not accumulation.   Key Takeaway: You don't heal by running from your story — you heal by reclaiming authorship of it.   Guest Bio: Dr. John A. King is the founder of The Phoenix Collective and Give Them a Voice Foundation. An Indigenous Australian, John is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and advocate for survivors of trafficking and trauma. Drawing from his own story of rebuilding life after loss, he now helps leaders and entrepreneurs develop a performance mindset—training them to rise with resilience in both life and business.   Links: Website: www.drjohnaking.com Phoenix Collective: www.phoenixcollective.app Socials: @drjohnaking   What parts of your story still define you instead of refining you?

Listen to JCO's Art of Oncology article, "The Man at the Bow" by Dr. Alexis Drutchas, who is a palliative care physician at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The article is followed by an interview with Drutchas and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Dr. Drutchas shares the deep connection she had with a patient, a former barge captain, who often sailed the same route that her family's shipping container did when they moved overseas many times while she was growing up. She reflects on the nature of loss and dignity, and how oncologists might hold patients' humanity with more tenderness and care, especially at the end of life. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: The Man at the Bow, by Alexis Drutchas, MD  It was the kind of day that almost seemed made up—a clear, cerulean sky with sunlight bouncing off the gold dome of the State House. The contrast between this view and the drab hospital walls as I walked into my patient's room was jarring. My patient, whom I will call Suresh, sat in a recliner by the window. His lymphoma had relapsed, and palliative care was consulted to help with symptom management. The first thing I remember is that despite the havoc cancer had wreaked—sunken temples and a hospital gown slipping off his chest—Suresh had a warm, peaceful quality about him. Our conversation began with a discussion about his pain. Suresh told me how his bones ached and how his fatigue left him feeling hollow—a fraction of his former self. The way this drastic change in his physicality affected his sense of identity was palpable. There was loss, even if it was unspoken. After establishing a plan to help with his symptoms, I pivoted and asked Suresh how he used to spend his days. His face immediately lit up. He had been a barge captain—a dangerous and thrilling profession that took him across international waters to transport goods. Suresh's eyes glistened as he described his joy at sea. I was completely enraptured. He shared stories about mornings when he stood alone on the bow, feeling the salted breeze as the barge moved through Atlantic waves. He spoke of calm nights on the deck, looking at the stars through stunning darkness. He traveled all over the globe and witnessed Earth's topography from a perspective most of us will never see. The freedom Suresh exuded was profound. He loved these voyages so much that one summer, despite the hazards, he brought his wife and son to experience the journey with him. Having spent many years of my childhood living in Japan and Hong Kong, my family's entire home—every bed, sheet, towel, and kitchen utensil—was packed up and crossed the Atlantic on cargo ships four times. Maybe Suresh had captained one, I thought. Every winter, we hosted US Navy sailors docked in Hong Kong for the holidays. I have such fond memories of everyone going around the table and sharing stories of their adventures—who saw or ate what and where. I loved those times: the wild abandon of travel, the freedom of being somewhere new, and the way identity can shift and expand as experiences grow. When Suresh shared stories of the ocean, I was back there too, holding the multitude of my identity alongside him. I asked Suresh to tell me more about his voyages: what was it like to be out in severe weather, to ride over enormous swells? Did he ever get seasick, and did his crew always get along? But Suresh did not want to swim into these perilous stories with me. Although he worked a difficult and physically taxing job, this is not what he wanted to focus on. Instead, he always came back to the beauty and vitality he felt at sea—what it was like to stare out at the vastness of the open ocean. He often closed his eyes and motioned with his hands as he spoke as if he was not confined to these hospital walls. Instead, he was swaying on the water feeling the lightness of physical freedom, and the way a body can move with such ease that it is barely perceptible, like water flowing over sand. The resonances of Suresh's stories contained both the power and challenges laden in this work. Although I sat at his bedside, healthy, my body too contained memories of freedom that in all likelihood will one day dissipate with age or illness. The question of how I will be seen, compared to how I hoped to be seen, lingered in my mind. Years ago, before going to medical school, I moved to Vail, Colorado. I worked four different jobs just to make ends meet, but making it work meant that on my days off, I was only a chairlift ride away from Vail's backcountry. I have a picture of this vigor in my mind—my snowboard carving into fresh powder, the utter silence of the wilderness at that altitude, and the way it felt to graze the powdery snow against my glove. My face was windburned, and my body was sore, but my heart had never felt so buoyant. While talking with Suresh, I could so vividly picture him as the robust man he once was, standing tall on the bow of his ship. I could feel the freedom and joy he described—it echoed in my own body. In that moment, the full weight of what Suresh had lost hit me as forcefully as a cresting wave—not just the physical decline, but the profound shift in his identity. What is more, we all live, myself included, so precariously at this threshold. In this work, it is impossible not to wonder: what will it be like when it is me? Will I be seen as someone who has lived a full life, who explored and adventured, or will my personhood be whittled down to my illness? How can I hold these questions and not be swallowed by them? "I know who you are now is not the person you've been," I said to Suresh. With that, he reached out for my hand and started to cry. We looked at each other with a new understanding. I saw Suresh—not just as a frail patient but as someone who lived a full life. As someone strong enough to cross the Atlantic for decades. In that moment, I was reminded of the Polish poet, Wislawa Szymborska's words, "As far as you've come, can't be undone." This, I believe, is what it means to honor the dignity of our patients, to reflect back the person they are despite or alongside their illness…all of their parts that can't be undone. Sometimes, this occurs because we see our own personhood reflected in theirs and theirs in ours. Sometimes, to protect ourselves, we shield ourselves from this echo. Other times, this resonance becomes the most beautiful and meaningful part of our work. It has been years now since I took care of Suresh. When the weather is nice, my wife and I like to take our young son to the harbor in South Boston to watch the planes take off and the barges leave the shore, loaded with colorful metal containers. We usually pack a picnic and sit in the trunk as enormous planes fly overhead and tugboats work to bring large ships out to the open water. Once, as a container ship was leaving the port, we waved so furiously at those working on board that they all started to wave back, and the captain honked the ships booming horn. Every single time we are there, I think of Suresh, and I picture him sailing out on thewaves—as free as he will ever be. Mikkael Sekeres: Welcome back to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology. This ASCO podcast features intimate narratives and perspectives from authors exploring their experiences in oncology. I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I'm Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami. What a treat we have today. We're joined by Dr. Alexis Drutchas, a Palliative Care Physician and the Director of the Core Communication Program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School to discuss her article, "The Man at the Bow." Alexis, thank you so much for contributing to Journal of Clinical Oncology and for joining us to discuss your article. Dr. Alexis Drutchas: Thank you. I'm thrilled and excited to be here. Mikkael Sekeres: I wonder if we can start by asking you about yourself. Where are you from, and can you walk us a bit through your career? Dr. Alexis Drutchas: The easiest way to say it would be that I'm from the Detroit area. My dad worked in automotive car parts and so we moved around a lot when I was growing up. I was born in Michigan, then we moved to Japan, then back to Michigan, then to Hong Kong, then back to Michigan. Then I spent my undergrad years in Wisconsin and moved out to Colorado to teach snowboarding before medical school, and then ended up back in Michigan for that, and then on the east coast at Brown for my family medicine training, and then in Boston for work and training. So, I definitely have a more global experience in my background, but also very Midwestern at heart as well. In terms of my professional career trajectory, I trained in family medicine because I really loved taking care of the whole person. I love taking care of kids and adults, and I loved OB, and at the time I felt like it was impossible to choose which one I wanted to pursue the most, and so family medicine was a great fit. And at the core of that, there's just so much advocacy and social justice work, especially in the community health centers where many family medicine residents train. During that time, I got very interested in LGBTQ healthcare and founded the Rhode Island Trans Health Conference, which led me to work as a PCP at Fenway Health in Boston after that. And so I worked there for many years. And then through a course of being a hospitalist at BI during that work, I worked with many patients with serious illness, making decisions about discontinuing dialysis, about pursuing hospice care in the setting of ILD. I also had a significant amount of family illness and started to recognize this underlying interest I had always had in palliative care, but I think was a bit scared to pursue. But those really kind of tipped me over to say I really wanted to access a different level of communication skills and be able to really go into depth with patients in a way I just didn't feel like I had the language for. And so I applied to the Harvard Palliative Care Fellowship and luckily and with so much gratitude got in years ago, and so trained in palliative care and stayed at MGH after that. So my Dana-Farber position is newer for me and I'm very excited about it. Mikkael Sekeres: Sounds like you've had an amazing career already and you're just getting started on it. I grew up in tiny little Rhode Island and, you know, we would joke you have to pack an overnight bag if you travel more than 45 minutes. So, our boundaries were much tighter than yours. What was it like growing up where you're going from the Midwest to Asia, back to the Midwest, you wind up settling on the east coast? You must have an incredible worldly view on how people live and how they view their health. Dr. Alexis Drutchas: I think you just named much of the sides of it. I think I realize now, in looking back, that in many ways it was living two lives, because at the time it was rare from where we lived in the Detroit area in terms of the other kids around us to move overseas. And so it really did feel like that part of me and my family that during the summers we would have home leave tickets and my parents would often turn them in to just travel since we didn't really have a home base to come back to. And so it did give me an incredible global perspective and a sense of all the ways in which people develop community, access healthcare, and live. And then coming back to the Midwest, not to say that it's not cosmopolitan or diverse in its own way, but it was very different, especially in the 80s and 90s to come back to the Midwest. So it did feel like I carried these two lenses in the world, and it's been incredibly meaningful over time to meet other friends and adults and patients who have lived these other lives as well. I think for me those are some of my most connecting friendships and experiences with patients for people who have had a similar experience in living with sort of a duality in their everyday lives with that. Mikkael Sekeres: You know, you write about the main character of your essay, Suresh, who's a barge captain, and you mention in the essay that your family crossed the Atlantic on cargo ships four times when you were growing up. What was that experience like? How much of it do you remember? Dr. Alexis Drutchas: Our house, like our things, crossed the Atlantic four times on barge ships such as his. We didn't, I mean we crossed on airplanes. Mikkael Sekeres: Oh, okay, okay. Dr. Alexis Drutchas: We flew over many times, but every single thing we owned got packed up into containers on large trucks in our house and were brought over to ports to be sent over. So, I'm not sure how they do it now, but at the time that's sort of how we moved, and we would often go live in a hotel or a furnished apartment for the month's wait of all of our house to get there, which felt also like a surreal experience in that, you know, you're in a totally different country and then have these creature comforts of your bedroom back in Metro Detroit. And I remember thinking a lot about who was crossing over with all of that stuff and where was it going, and who else was moving, and that was pretty incredible. And when I met Suresh, just thinking about the fact that at some point our home could have been on his ship was a really fun connection in my mind to make, just given where he always traveled in his work. Mikkael Sekeres: It's really neat. I remember when we moved from the east coast also to the Midwest, I was in Cleveland for 18 years. The very first thing we did was mark which of the boxes had the kids' toys in it, because that of course was the first one we let them close it up and then we let them open it as soon as we arrived. Did your family do something like that as well so that you can, you know, immediately feel an attachment to your stuff when they arrived? Dr. Alexis Drutchas: Yeah, I remember what felt most important to our mom was our bedrooms. I don't remember the toys. I remember sort of our comforters and our pillowcases and things like that, yeah, being opened and it feeling really settling to think, "Okay, you know, we're in a completely different place and country away from most everything we know, but our bedroom is the same." That always felt like a really important point that she made to make home feel like home again in a new place. Mikkael Sekeres: Yeah, yeah. One of the sentences you wrote in your essay really caught my eye. You wrote about when you were younger and say, "I loved those times, the wild abandon of travel, the freedom of being somewhere new, the way identity can shift and expand as experiences grow." It's a lovely sentiment. Do you think those are emotions that we experience only as children, or can they continue through adulthood? And if they can, how do we make that happen, that sense of excitement and experience? Dr. Alexis Drutchas: I think that's such a good question and one I honestly think about a lot. I think that we can access those all the time. There's something about the newness of travel and moving, you know, I have a 3-year-old right now, and so I think many parents would connect to that sense that there is wonderment around being with someone experiencing something for the first time. Even watching my son, Oliver, see a plane take off for the first time felt joyous in a completely new way, that even makes me smile a lot now. But I think what is such a great connection here is when something is new, our eyes are so open to it. You know, we're constantly witnessing and observing and are excited about that. And I think the connection that I've realized is important for me in my work and also in just life in general to hold on to that wonderment is that idea of sort of witnessing or having a writer's eye, many would call it, in that you're keeping your eye open for the small beautiful things. Often with travel, you might be eating ramen. It might not be the first time you're eating it, but you're eating it for the first time in Tokyo, and it's the first time you've had this particular ingredient on it, and then you remember that. But there's something that we're attuned to in those moments, like the difference or the taste, that makes it special and we hold on to it. And I think about that a lot as a writer, but also in patient care and having my son with my wife, it's what are the special small moments to hold on to and allowing them to be new and beautiful, even if they're not as large as moving across the country or flying to Rome or whichever. I think there are ways that that excitement can still be alive if we attune ourselves to some of the more beautiful small moments around us. Mikkael Sekeres: And how do we do that as doctors? We're trained to go into a room and there's almost a formula for how we approach patients. But how do you open your mind in that way to that sense of wonderment and discovery with the person you're sitting across from, and it doesn't necessarily have to be medical? One of the true treats of what we do is we get to meet people from all backgrounds and all walks of life, and we have the opportunity to explore their lives as part of our interaction. Dr. Alexis Drutchas: Yeah, I think that is such a great question. And I would love to hear your thoughts on this too. I think for me in that sentence that you mentioned, sitting at that table with sort of people in the Navy from all over the world, I was that person to them in the room, too. There was some identity there that I brought to the table that was different than just being a kid in school or something like that. To answer your question, I wonder if so much of the challenge is actually allowing ourselves to bring ourselves into the room, because so much of the formula is, you know, we have these white coats on, we have learners, we want to do it right, we want to give excellent care. There's there's so many sort of guards I think that we put up to make sure that we're asking the right questions, we don't want to miss anything, we don't want to say the wrong thing, and all of that is true. And at the same time, I find that when I actually allow myself into the room, that is when it is the most special. And that doesn't mean that there's complete countertransference or it's so permeable that it's not in service of the patient. It just means that I think when we allow bits of our own selves to come in, it really does allow for new connections to form, and then we are able to learn about our patients more, too. With every patient, I think often we're called in for goals of care or symptom management, and of course I prioritize that, but when I can, I usually just try to ask a more open-ended question, like, "Tell me about life before you came to the hospital or before you were diagnosed. What do you love to do? What did you do for work?" Or if it's someone's family member who is ill, I'll ask the kids or family in the room, "Like, what kind of mom was she? You know, what special memory you had?" Just, I get really curious when there's time to really understand the person. And I know that that's not at all new language. Of course, we're always trying to understand the person, but I just often think understanding them is couched within their illness. And I'm often very curious about how we can just get to know them as people, and how humanizing ourselves to them helps humanize them to us, and that back and forth I think is like really lovely and wonderful and allows things to come up that were totally unexpected, and those are usually the special moments that you come home with and want to tell your family about or want to process and think about. What about you? How do you think about that question? Mikkael Sekeres: Well, it's interesting you ask. I like to do projects around the house. I hate to say this out loud because of course one day I'll do something terrible and everyone will remember this podcast, but I fancy myself an amateur electrician and plumber and carpenter and do these sorts of projects. So I go into interactions with patients wanting to learn about their lives and how they live their lives to see what I can pick up on as well, how I can take something out of that interaction and actually use it practically. My father-in-law has this phrase he always says to me when a worker comes to your house, he goes, he says to me, "Remember to steal with your eyes." Right? Watch what they do, learn how they fix something so you can fix it yourself and you don't have to call them next time. So, for me it's kind of fun to hear how people have lived their lives both within their professions, and when I practiced medicine in Cleveland, there were a lot of farmers and factory workers I saw. So I learned a lot about how things are made. But also about how they interact with their families, and I've learned a lot from people I've seen who were just terrific dads and terrific moms or siblings or spouses. And I've tried to take those nuggets away from those interactions. But I think you can only do it if you open yourself up and also allow yourself to see that person's humanity. And I wonder if I can quote you to you again from your essay. There's another part that I just loved, and it's about how you write about how a person's identity changes when they become a patient. You write, "And in that moment the full weight of what he had lost hit me as forcefully as a cresting wave. Not just the physical decline, but the profound shift in identity. What is more, we all live, me included, so precariously at this threshold. In this work, it's impossible not to wonder, what will it be like when it's me? Will I be seen as someone who's lived many lives, or whittled down only to someone who's sick?" Can you talk a little bit more about that? Have you been a patient whose identity has changed without asking you to reveal too much? Or what about your identity as a doctor? Is that something we have to undo a little bit when we walk in the room with the stethoscope or wearing a white coat? Dr. Alexis Drutchas: That was really powerful to hear you read that back to me. So, thank you. Yeah, I think my answer here can't be separated from the illness I faced with my family. And I think this unanimously filters into the way in which I see every patient because I really do think about the patient's dignity and the way medicine generally, not always, really does strip them of that and makes them the patient. Even the way we write about "the patient said this," "the patient said that," "the patient refused." So I generally very much try to have a one-liner like, "Suresh is a X-year-old man who's a barge captain from X, Y, and Z and is a loving father with a," you know, "period. He comes to the hospital with X, Y, and Z." So I always try to do that and humanize patients. I always try to write their name rather than just "patient." I can't separate that out from my experience with my family. My sister six years ago now went into sudden heart failure after having a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and so immediately within minutes she was in the cath lab at 35 years old, coding three times and came out sort of with an Impella and intubated, and very much, you know, all of a sudden went from my sister who had just been traveling in Mexico to a patient in the CCU. And I remember desperately wanting her team to see who she was, like see the person that we loved, that was fighting for her life, see how much her life meant to us. And that's not to say that they weren't giving her great care, but there was something so important to me in wanting them to see how much we wanted her to live, you know, and who she was. It felt like there's some important core to me there. We brought pictures in, we talked about what she was living for. It felt really important. And I can't separate that out from the way in which I see patients now or I feel in my own way in a certain way what it is to lose yourself, to lose the ability to be a Captain of the ship, to lose the ability to do electric work around the house. So much of our identity is wrapped up in our professions and our craft. And I think for me that has really become forefront in the work of palliative care and in and in the teaching I do and in the writing I do is how to really bring them forefront and not feel like in doing that we're losing our ability to remain objective or solid in our own professional identities as clinicians and physicians. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, I think that's a beautiful place to end here. I can only imagine what an outstanding physician and caregiver you are also based on your writing and how you speak about it. You just genuinely come across as caring about your patients and your family and the people you have interactions with and getting to know them as people. It has been again such a treat to have Dr. Alexis Drutchas here. She is Director of the Core Communication Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School to discuss her article, "The Man at the Bow."

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram speak with Dr. Brandon Bloch, historian and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, about his groundbreaking book Reinventing Protestant Germany: The Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy (Harvard University Press).Dr. Bloch explores how German Protestants grappled with complicity, guilt, and renewal after World War II, tracing how theology, nationalism, and moral reconstruction intertwined in the decades following Hitler's rise. The discussion connects these historical lessons to modern America—especially the resurgence of Christian nationalism and the uneasy dance between faith and political identity.Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how religion can both sustain democracy and undermine it, depending on how believers interpret power, patriotism, and divine authority.Guest Bio – Dr. Brandon BlochDr. Brandon Bloch is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, specializing in modern European history, political theology, and human rights. His research focuses on how religion, nationalism, and democracy intersected in 20th-century Germany. His book, Reinventing Protestant Germany: The Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy (Harvard University Press), examines how German Protestants rebuilt faith and moral authority in the wake of Nazism.Dr. Bloch's work has been featured in academic and public forums for its insight into how religious identity can both challenge and reinforce authoritarian power.

When cancer treatment ends, the world expects celebration. The bell is rung, and everyone around breathes a sigh of relief. But for many survivors, that moment marks not an ending, but a new, confusing beginning. The medical team steps back, the appointments stop, and a quiet question creeps in: now what? Survivorship is more than the absence of disease. It's the long, often lonely process of learning how to live again, in a body, mind, and identity forever changed. Fatigue lingers. Treatment dulls memory and focus. Sleep becomes elusive. And beneath it all is the fear: what if it comes back? But what if recovery after cancer isn't just about waiting for the next scan; it's about reclaiming control? Through lifestyle medicine, survivors can begin to rebuild their strength, calm their nervous system, and lower their risk of recurrence. What measures are important for the survivor phase of cancer care? Why is connection and community so important? In this episode, the Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, Dr. Amy Comander, returns. The pioneer in lifestyle medicine for survivorship joins us to share what true recovery looks like. She shares insights from her groundbreaking Paving the Path to Wellness program, and we talk about how to have a healthy life after the end of cancer treatment. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Survivorship isn't just surviving Finishing treatment is only the beginning of recovery. How do survivors move from merely existing to truly thriving? -Movement as medicine Exercise doesn't just build strength; it improves outcomes and lowers recurrence risk. What type of movement makes the biggest impact after cancer? -Food over fear The right diet can reduce inflammation, support immunity, and ease anxiety about recurrence. What does the research actually say about the best foods for survivors, and which supplements to avoid? -The overlooked healing power of connection Support groups and social bonds can dramatically improve the quality of life and survival. Why is community one of the most potent yet underused forms of medicine? Guest Bio Dr. Amy Comander specializes in the care of women with breast cancer. Dr. Comander is Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, where she also serves as Director of Breast Oncology and Cancer Survivorship at the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham and at Newton Wellesley Hospital.

In this week's interview, I sat down with Dr. Tom Cowan — a physician turned alternative health pioneer — for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about biology, medicine, and healing. He dares to question the mainstream narrative, peel back the veneer of convention, and invite you into what he calls the New Biology. Together we explore how our culture has become scientifically illiterate and dive into ideas you've rarely heard: why the heart isn't merely a pump, how structured water may hold the key to true vitality, and how emotion, environment, and movement reshape the body from the inside out. Expect thought-provoking detours into immunity, mold, autoimmunity, and what really powers you as an electromagnetic being, not just the chemistry you learned in school. If you're ready to stop treating symptoms and start thinking differently about what it means to be healthy, join us as we pull back the curtain on a new kind of medicine, one that's been hiding in plain sight.

What happens when curiosity replaces fear? In this powerful and honest conversation, Simma Lieberman and Dr. Julie Pham, author of "7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming Your Communication and Relationships at Work", explore how curiosity helps us talk about race, identity, and respect without shame or defensiveness. They remind us that inclusion begins with wonder—and that respect isn't fixed, it's alive. Simma and Dr. Julie Pham dive into the idea of curiosity as a practice—a mindset we can bring to every interaction. They discuss how we each hold multiple identities, why respect feels different to everyone, and how the “rubber band rule” teaches self-awareness and boundaries. Together, they model how curiosity—not cancellation—creates space for growth, empathy, and laughter. Dr. Pham shares her journey from running her family's Vietnamese newspaper in Seattle to becoming an expert on curiosity-based inclusion. Simma reflects on her experiences as a Bronx-raised Jewish woman building bridges across race and culture. Their exchange reminds listeners that real connection begins when we listen to understand, not to judge.   [00:10:00 — The Practice of Curiosity] Julie describes curiosity as a practice, not a trait, requiring awareness and humility. They discuss how fear of being wrong blocks learning and how curiosity turns awkward moments into opportunities for respect. [00:15:00 — Respect as Relationship, Not Rule] They unpack how “respect” looks different across people and cultures. Julie introduces her framework from Seven Forms of Respect and shares how she helps organizations talk openly about what respect means to them. [00:20:00 — Cultural Assumptions and Adaptation] Simma and Julie discuss regional and cultural communication styles—New York directness vs. West Coast politeness—and how adapting behavior is a form of respect, not inauthenticity. [00:25:00 — Curiosity vs. Cancel Culture] Simma raises the issue of “you should know” attitudes in DEI work. Julie explains why she rejects cancel culture and instead promotes dialogue and forgiveness as pathways to inclusion. [00:30:00 — The Rubber Band Rule] Julie explains her Rubber Band Rule: we all stretch for others, but when we over-stretch, we snap. Respect, she says, is relative, contextual, and dynamic—it shifts with relationships, workplaces, and personal growth. [00:35:00 — Learning from Difference] Simma shares stories from her life and work about learning from cross-cultural friendships and experiences in holistic health. Both reflect on how curiosity helped them challenge stereotypes and assumptions. [00:40:00 — Evolving Through Curiosity] They discuss how curiosity helps us evolve—our identities, habits, and relationships are always changing. Julie highlights that curiosity is lifelong learning, not a one-time skill. [00:45:00 — From Outrage to Understanding] Julie and Simma emphasize moving beyond outrage to curiosity. They share stories about being misjudged and how asking questions transforms conflict into connection. [00:48:00 — Closing Reflections: Self-Respect and Connection] Julie closes with her final message: respect isn't fixed; it changes with context. Simma thanks her for the powerful conversation, reiterates the importance of curiosity, and invites listeners to stay engaged.   Guest Bio Dr. Julie Pham is the founder of CuriosityBased, a leadership development organization that helps people build trust and collaboration through curiosity. She is the author of Seven Forms of Respect and a TEDx speaker whose work challenges how we define and show respect in our daily lives.

Most of us think of medicine as something that comes in a pill bottle or a hospital setting. But what if one of the most powerful prescriptions for lowering blood pressure, calming anxiety, and even boosting immunity doesn't come from a pharmacy at all? What if it comes from the forest and elements of nature? Spending intentional time in nature doesn't just feel good; it rewires the nervous system, lowers stress hormones like cortisol, and even enhances immune defenses against disease.  Forest therapy taps into this ancient truth with modern scientific validation: our bodies, minds, and spirits were designed to thrive in connection with the natural world. Yet in our overstimulated, urbanized lives, that connection is fraying. We scroll endlessly, jump from task to task, and fill every quiet moment with noise.  Nature isn't just a backdrop for relaxation; it's an active participant in our healing.  Even a short walk among greenery reduces inflammation markers linked to chronic disease.  How do we tap into nature's healing abilities? How do we use forest therapy to quiet our inner chatter?  In this episode, I'm joined by healthcare leader, educator, certified executive coach, and certified Forest Therapy guide, Dr. Susan Abookire.  We explore the physiological, emotional, mental, and spiritual power of reconnecting with nature, and how to make it a habit.  We also talk about overlooked yet transformative interventions for stress, chronic disease, and emotional well-being.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Stress isn't the root problem; disconnection is Chronic stress hormones drive disease, but is our real issue a loss of connection to nature and each other? -Why trees boost immunity What happens in your body when you inhale phytoncides, the compounds released by trees? How do they supercharge natural killer cells that fight infection and even cancer? -The attention restoration effect How does stepping into green space rebuild cognitive resources drained by digital overload and constant problem-solving? -The healing power of stillness From “sit spots” to slowing down your senses, how can simple daily practices in nature recalibrate your nervous system and deepen resilience?   Guest Bio Dr. Susan Abookire is a healthcare leader, educator, certified executive coach, and certified Forest Therapy guide. She started her career as an electrical engineer, designing aviation systems for aviation safety. Her journey then took her to Harvard Medical School, where she entered healthcare with a deep passion for designing healthy, thriving systems in healthcare delivery. After over 20+ years as a healthcare executive designing healthcare delivery systems, Dr. Abookire began teaching systems and relying on nature as our model and teacher. One day, she saw an article about Forest Bathing and becoming a Certified Forest Therapy Guide. I immediately connected with the knowledge that I was going to do this. One year later, in 2020, she began incorporating Forest Bathing and Forest Therapy in all her work. Dr. Abookire has dedicated her life to connecting us with ourselves, with nature, and with each other.

From the outside, doctors and dentists look like they've got it all: good money, respected careers, the kind of lifestyle most people want. But what almost no one talks about is how fragile that life really is.  One accident, one injury, and the very hands that their entire career depends on can suddenly stop producing income. That was Dr. Jeff Anzalone's reality after a skiing accident nearly ended his ability to practice dentistry. It forced him to realize: as much as medicine can be rewarding, it's still trading time for money, and it can all disappear in an instant. The solution wasn't to abandon his practice, but to build wealth in a way that didn't depend on his hands or hours. Real estate offered the answer, but not the kind most people think of. Doctors don't have the time to chase tenants, fix plumbing, or manage property managers. They need a model that lets them keep their focus on patients while still capturing the benefits of ownership. That's where mobile home parks came in. It's one of the most resilient ways to generate passive income, diversify risk, and create long-term wealth, without becoming a landlord. Why are most doctors skating on thin ice financially? How do you use real estate to stop trading time for money?  In this episode, periodontist and founder of Debt-Free Doctor, Dr. Jeff Anzalone, joins me to dig into why doctors' careers are more vulnerable than most people realize.  We discuss how passive real estate investing gives them financial resilience without sacrificing their practice. You'll also learn why mobile home parks may be the most overlooked wealth-building vehicle in America today. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The hidden math of medicine Doctors look wealthy, but most start their careers buried in debt and chasing appearances. How does the “doctor dream” set them up for financial struggle? -A wake-up call on the slopes A skiing accident nearly ended Jeff's ability to practice dentistry. Why did that moment push him to find income streams beyond the chair? -Mobile homes, massive opportunity Mobile home parks aren't glamorous, but they deliver stability and cash flow. Why is this overlooked sector one of the strongest plays in affordable housing? -Who, not how For doctors, it's nearly impossible to focus on their practice while also managing tenants. How did Jeff scale to 11 mobile home parks without becoming a landlord?   Guest Bio Dr. Jeff Anzalone is a periodontist in Louisiana and the founder of Debt-Free Doctor. A few short years ago, he started to worry about my family's financial future. As a solo practitioner, Jeff knew that if something happened to him, no other income would be coming in. These concerns prompted him to take a hard look at his financial future, and he realized that something needed to be done. He learned how to build multiple streams of passive income so that he can replace his active income each year. Now he's helping other doctors do the same.

When we talk about insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, the conversation almost always revolves around sugar, carbs, fat, or body weight. But there's one factor that rarely gets enough attention: muscle mass.   Skeletal muscle isn't just for strength or aesthetics. It's the single largest site of glucose disposal in the body, responsible for up to 80% of how we use sugar after a meal.    Which means that having low muscle mass actually increases insulin resistance, even if your weight or BMI looks “normal.” On the flipside, building muscle is one of the most effective ways to counteract a genetic predisposition to diabetes. The surprising problem is that most people are unaware of how to do it. We've been taught to obsess over cardio, calorie counting, or cutting carbs, but rarely taught how resistance training, protein intake, and lifestyle choices protect our metabolism through muscle. Why is muscle mass a game-changer for insulin resistance? How do we make sure we're optimizing our nutrition and exercise? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Maguy Chiha, a triple board–certified endocrinologist in internal medicine, endocrinology & metabolism, and obesity medicine. Together, we explore the hidden role of muscle mass in insulin resistance, why so many patients are overlooked until it's too late, and practical steps to increase muscle and protect your metabolic health.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Muscle is your glucose engine Skeletal muscle, not the liver, is the real powerhouse of glucose control. If 75–80% of sugar disposal happens here, what happens when muscle shrinks with age or fills with fat? -The hidden risk of “skinny fat” Why a normal BMI doesn't protect you. How visceral fat and low lean mass in certain populations (like South Asians) make diabetes risk skyrocket—even at “healthy” weights. -Protein timing & resistance training When it comes to exercise, cardio alone won't cut it. How does lifting weights and eating protein daily make your body burn fat without starving? Guest Bio   Dr. Chiha is a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and obesity medicine. She completed her undergrad and graduate medical education at the American University of Beirut before moving to the United States to complete her residency in Michigan. And later she did her endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism fellowship at Loyola College University in Illinois. She worked for several years at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago, where she headed the division of endocrinology and was the physician champion of the Diabetes Center for Excellence, as well as the Diabetes Service Line Director. In her current practice, Dr. Chiha practices general endocrinology, but has a focus and interest in diabetes management, obesity management, as well as women's health and menopause.

What if intuition wasn't a mysterious gift for a select few, but a practical, playful set of tools anyone can use to reclaim their personal power?

In this episode of The Light Inside, host Jeffrey Besecker is joined by holistic physician Dr. Brad Montagne to explore how unconscious beliefs, emotional suppression, and meta-cognitive dissonance can inhibit healing in chronic care. Together, we examine how unresolved psychological data and implicit attitudes create empathy gaps and relational disconnection, shaping both treatment resistance and patient well-being. This conversation unpacks the pivotal role empathy plays as a clinical tool—bridging human connection and holistic health outcomes.Key Talking PointsHow unresolved psychological data and suppressed beliefs influence chronic illness.The role of meta-cognitive dissonance in creating resistance to healing.Why empathy gaps in healthcare erode patient trust and connection.Somatic and psychological pathways that link disconnection to diminished healing outcomes.Trauma-informed perspectives on bridging relational divides in chronic care.Key TakeawaysHealing is not only physiological—it's relational, requiring empathy as medicine.Unconscious biases and cultural scripts often drive treatment resistance.Disconnection creates nocebo-like effects that can worsen patient outcomes.Clinicians who bridge empathy gaps can foster resilience and restore trust.Holistic care thrives when emotional, somatic, and relational factors are addressed together.Guest Bio – Dr. Brad MontagneDr. Brad Montagne is a holistic physician and chronic care provider dedicated to helping patients uncover the deeper connections between physical illness and unresolved emotional or psychological patterns.

Have you ever wondered what kind of health information your teen is actually absorbing from TikTok, Instagram, or even AI chat tools? Do you know how to recognize—and gently disrupt—the misinformation that could be shaping your teen's choices about their body and health? In this eye-opening conversation, I talk with Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, a family physician, health advocate, and mom of two girls, about the growing trend of teens turning to social media and AI for medical advice. Dr. Bayo shares the most common myths circulating online—from misinformation about birth control and fertility, to supplements that can damage the liver, to dangerous over-the-counter products like kratom energy shots marketed as “natural.” She explains why teens are especially vulnerable to believing influencers who “look and sound like them,” and how parents can begin to disrupt these patterns. We also explore practical ways to equip our teens with critical thinking skills and strategies to advocate for their health—while giving moms tangible steps to reduce anxiety and stay informed. Guest Bio:Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, is a board-certified family physician, Medical Director of Urgent Care Clinics at St. Mary's Health Network in Reno, Nevada, and a passionate patient advocate. Known as “Dr. BCW” on social media, she reaches millions through Instagram, TikTok, and her podcast Beyond Clinical Walls, where she helps families navigate healthcare and misinformation. A frequent guest on CNN and NBC, she also serves on the CDC's National Community and Public Engagement Work Group and Nevada's Patient Protection Commission. Drawing from her own journey of misdiagnosis, as well as her near-death experience during childbirth, Dr. Bayo brings both expertise and empathy as she empowers patients to take charge of their health. Three Takeaways: Not all information is credible—even if it sounds relatable. Teach your teen the difference between “accessible” and “trustworthy,” and remind them that not every influencer is a safe source of medical advice. Ask questions instead of lecturing. When your teen believes something online, try asking, “What's your plan if that doesn't work?” to encourage critical thinking without sparking defensiveness. Be proactive as a parent. Search what's trending on TikTok or Google to get a glimpse of what your teen may be exposed to, and equip them with three essentials before leaving home: how to get medical help, what insurance they have, and what medications or allergies they must know.
