In this episode, we explore a unique perspective on dietetics from a dually credentialed healthcare practitioner, Colleen Sloan, PA-C, RDN. Colleen currently works as a Physician Assistant caring for children from infancy through twenty-one years of age. Prior to her career as a PA-C, Colleen accrued five years of expertise as a Registered Dietitian. She earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from Florida International University, followed by a Masters of Medical Science from NovaSoutheastern University.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Patricia Kallenbach stands out as a unique professional with a dual specialization as a veterinarian and a massage therapist. She pursued her journey in veterinary science, initially following traditional paths before venturing into holistic approaches. After exhausting holistic veterinary courses, she embraced human courses, enriching her expertise and leading to the establishment of dual clinics. Presently, she offers her services in a 4,500 square foot building that houses both her veterinary clinic and massage and wellness clinic. Embracing innovative treatments, Dr. Kallenbach extensively uses low-level laser therapy through the Arconia laser, applying it to a wide variety of patients ranging from lizards to horses. Episode Summary: In this latest episode of the Laser Light show, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells delve into the transformative world of low-level laser therapy with the expertise of Dr. Patricia Kallenbach. As a well-regarded veterinarian and massage therapist, Dr. Kallenbach brings her unique perspective on the application of laser therapy across species, highlighting its astounding therapeutic advantages. Dr. Kallenbach shares her fascinating transition from a conventional veterinarian to an advocate for holistic approaches in animal care. By integrating laser therapy into her practice, she has witnessed remarkable recoveries in cases where traditional medicine had reached its limits. With a firm belief in treating the whole being, she skillfully uses laser therapy not just for the betterment of pets, but for their human companions as well, attesting to the technology's versatility and efficacy. Key Takeaways: Holistic veterinary practices can offer viable and often less costly alternatives for pet care, including non-surgical treatments and faster recoveries. Humans and pets alike benefit from low-level laser therapy, with Dr. Kallenbach treating a wide range of conditions successfully through this non-invasive method. Laser therapy in pets allows for treatment without the placebo effect, which solidifies its effectiveness as pets respond purely to the physical benefits. Dr. Kallenbach underscores the importance of proper laser use, advocating for low-level lasers over class four lasers due to safety and regeneration capabilities. Renting lasers for home use is a financially beneficial and practical extension of clinical treatments for pets and people who travel far for care. Notable Quotes: "Infants and pets, you cannot psychologically get that mind over matter effect. It's either going to work or it's not." - Dr. Patricia Kallenbach "We put everything we can that could be contributing to this pet's issues… And the wonderful part of laser is if you stimulate a cell that didn't need it, it says, thanks for asking. I'm already having a good day." - Dr. Patricia Kallenbach "I tell folks, go look at the research. This is the only one that has FDA cleared research and is backed by the NIH… ask for the research for the others, because it's just not there." - Dr. Patricia Kallenbach "The main thing with my human clients is they come in as a massage clinic. And so then we introduce all the other things." - Dr. Patricia Kallenbach "Find a veterinarian that has this laser and go talk with them for a day. Go look at what not only their financial benefit… it can really help beyond what a lot of our conventional practice can't." - Dr. Patricia Kallenbach Resources: No specific resources, social media handles, websites, articles, books, or URLs were mentioned in the transcript provided. Discover the profound impacts of low-level laser therapy on both pets and their owners by listening to the full episode with Dr. Patricia Kallenbach.

In this episode, Dr. Fred Moss interviews Julia Aziz, LCSW-S, OIM, a holistic psychotherapist, interfaith minister, and author, known for guiding healthcare practitioners and overwhelmed parents away from burnout. Julia's approach involves daily grounding practices, community healing through her Release & Empower Women's Circle, and a focus on embracing imperfection. In this brief but insightful episode, she emphasizes the importance of becoming one's own leader, trusting inner instincts, and recognizing the healing power within community. Julia Aziz offers a refreshing perspective on holistic well-being, urging listeners to rewild and rediscover their inner wisdom. Here are some key takeaways from the podcast interview: Julia helps healthcare practitioners and overwhelmed moms prevent burnout through reconnecting with inner resources. She leads retreats utilizing writing, movement, singing, and sharing for self-healing and empowerment. Her offerings involve shedding excess noise/information and coming back to basics - tuning into the "wisdom within." Daily grounding practices like forest walks, meditation, creating transitions, and setting boundaries prevent overwhelm. Healing happens in community, accountability and remembering our humanity and imperfection, not seeking perfection. Rather than following gurus, Julia guides people to become their own leaders, trusting innate inner knowings. She holds space for people to access their own "medicine" - what they offer others is precisely what they deeply need.

In this episode, Dr. Fred recaps his recent interview with Julia Aziz on episode 89. Together, they explore the pitfalls of self-neglect in caregiving professions and the power of reconnecting with infinite spiritual supply. Julia's insights into daily grounding routines, simplicity, and shedding excess resonate deeply, emphasizing the importance of inner wisdom. Join Dr. Fred as he invites listeners to explore their own profound steadiness by getting quietly grounded. Here are some key takeaways from this follow-up episode: Julia Aziz helps healers and caregivers avoid depletion by realizing that generously giving their gifts connects them to infinite spiritual supply. In caring professions, self-neglect while shouldering others' burdens is too often subtly normalized and promoted. Julia guides people back to their wholeness through community, accountability, self-expression, embodiment practices and remembering shared humanity. Daily grounding routines like morning forest walks and mini self-care rituals between obligations prevent overwhelm. Simplicity and shedding excess allows tuning into inner wisdom that has always resided within. No quick external fixes provide lasting peace. Standing still in nature, we realize we are transient while ancient trees and mountains endure - models of groundedness. By getting quietly grounded, we contact the bedrock of our being. Dr. Fred asks listeners what that profound steadiness feels like for them.

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, presents the pros and cons of having a business credit card. If you choose to have one, he provides tips on how to use the card wisely. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Jason shares an example of someone who funded their startup with a business credit. He changed his mind on the business and presumed he wouldn't be held personally responsible for the debt. He was wrong. Jason explains the differences between a small business credit card and a corporate credit card. A corporate credit card is more difficult to set up but it holds only the business liable for expenses versus the person. There are revenue requirements to set up a corporate credit card – $4million in gross revenue. Only C corps and S corps can apply – not LLCs. The great value business credit cards provide is their point system. Jason's Chase Preferred card offers 3 points for every $1.00 he spends. For example, if he spends 10k in a year, using the 3-point system, that's 30k points or $300 in cash value. Divide your credit card points by a hundred to get an estimate of its value in gift cards or if you were to cash it out. Set up reminders for your credit card payments to avoid paying interest. Jason advises not to trade interest for points. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “If you're responsible and you've proven you have a great track record of financial and fiscal responsibility, go for it [a credit card].

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy talks about how to create wealth in today's economy, including the two ways to do this and the three types of people who create wealth through their assets. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: The right way to create passive or semi-passive wealth is to create multiple assets vs trading your time for money or ‘working your ass off.' There are three categories of people with assets: creators, controllers, and owners. Creators generate revenue using their mind to build or create something. Examples include online courses, coaching and consulting in a group setting, intellectual property and white label services. Controllers generate revenue through syndication – in other words they don't own the assets but they control them. Examples here include managing an Airbnb, affiliate marketing and drop shipping. Lastly, owners generate revenue through ownership of real estate. Property examples include car washes, storage rentals, laundromats, Redbox and rental properties. The sharing economy is taking a liability and turning it into an asset, like renting out your background, pool, barn or garage for an event. Peer-to-peer lending, often referred to as social lending, connects people or entities who are willing to loan money with people who need to borrow money. To craft wealth, change your mindset from consumer to employee. Think like an entrepreneur or producer vs consumer. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “If you're making it (money) with your ass, you're trading your time for dollars…the only way that you can make a dollar is to sell hours of your skills and life to an employer,and that is extremely limited.” – Jason Duprat “Basically, you can take what used to be your liability, something that used to be a cost to you, and help either reduce the liability or just flat out turn it into an asset. This is called the sharing economy.” – Jason Duprat “You do not have to be on the consuming end. If you are on the producing end, if you're adding value to people, that's where the real wealth is generated. That's how you become wealthy in today's economy.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES: Sign up for one of our free business start-up Masterclasses by heading over to https://healthcareboss.org/masterclass/ Have a healthcare business question?

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy, talks about if and when you should consider looking into multiple streams of revenue – and how to systemize them. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Creating multiple streams of revenue may be the obvious way forward but it also has its pros and cons. Timing and taking little steps should always be your focus if you want all of them to succeed. Systemize your streams of revenue. Doing everything at once will only lead to inefficiency and even failure. Stop pulling yourself into different directions, focus on your primary business before thinking about trying other ventures. Jason references Elon Musk and how he has built his companies through momentum and systemization. Think in a step-wise fashion! There's only so much you can do. Be conscious of your energy, time, and money. Not all streams of income should be active streams of income. Entrepreneurship is flexible. Be in control, don't be afraid to go into something that you are passionate about. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Momentum is what will propel you to generating each additional stream of revenue.” – Jason Duprat “The beauty of entrepreneurship is that everything is in your control.” – Jason Duprat RESOURCES: Sign up for one of our free business start-up Masterclasses by heading over to https://healthcareboss.org/masterclass/ Have a healthcare business question?

OVERVIEW: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.” – Daniel J. Boorstin Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with Paul Furiga, President and Chief Storyteller of WordWrite. In this episode, Paul shares decades' worth of knowledge on Public Relations, such as various PR concepts, how to use PR to gain success, and his take on the difference between Advertising and PR. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: He spent about 20 years in Journalism, wrote about 10,000 stories, and edited another 10,000. Along with his Journalism experience, he learned the value and skill of Storytelling. Advertising vs Public Relations analogy: Advertising is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and you tell everybody how great you were. PR is when you come into the office the morning after your big date and your date tells everybody how great you are. Paul and his company practice a 21st Century practice abbreviated as P.E.S.O. - Paid, Earned, Shared, Owned. Every healthcare client Paul works with needs these four categories of content to gain success. Pitching is the Psychology of "When is the right time and right place for the right story?" Three categories of measuring Public Relation success are Outputs, Outtakes, and Outcomes. Press Releases are good for SEO. When you put a Press Release on the internet, write it in plain, easy-to-understand English that can be understood by those outside your profession. You only need to spend a large amount of money if you are making a major national announcement. For regional announcements, there are much more affordable regional distributions. The best way to reach Paul would be through www.wordwritepr.com TWEETABLE QUOTES: "If you can tell the story of why their life is going to be better or different because of the unique value you bring, you're going to have the best success possible." – Paul Furiga "Don't ever measure impressions. They are completely 100% vanity and meaningless.” – Paul Furiga RESOURCES: Sign up for one of our free business start-up Masterclasses by heading over to https://healthcareboss.org/masterclass/ Have a healthcare business question?

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast talks about how – and if – you should start a business when you have student loan debt. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: In the US, student debt totals 1.6 trillion dollars. The average student graduates with just under 38k in student loans. And 15% of the US population currently has student loan debt. Jason shares five tips for those struggling with student loans yet still want to launch their business. First, choose your institution wisely. As a student, think about the return on your investment! Don't just pick the most expensive school. The odds of getting your money back, especially in the healthcare field, is relatively low. Second, make sure you're paying the least amount of interest as possible after you graduate. Consider loan consolidation. Also, there are governmental loan forgiveness programs. They often have a strict contract so make sure you can commit to avoid penalties. Next, reduce the amount you owe. Jason joined the Navy Reserves and reduced his loans by 30k. This has its pros and cons, which you should consider when looking for new opportunities to repay your debt. Fourth, spend wisely and live lean. Self-discipline and self-control is a must to avoid ballooning student loans. Live well below your means and don't make expensive purchases like a new car or home. Fifth, figure out a way to earn more. Work overtime and apply extra payments directly to your principal vs interest. Pick up a PRN job, which offers great flexibility and pays 25-50% higher than normal salaries. Start lean and if possible start with a partner who can share expenses with you. Humble yourself. Start small and also consider online options, which have little to no startup costs, such as courses and books. Once launched, and if possible, consider reinvesting your earnings vs paying off your student debt. This might allow you to move to a second business more quickly with a higher growth model.

OVERVIEW: Obesity is a disease. It's not just a lifestyle issue. Jason A. Duprat, MBA, CRNA, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Boss Academy podcast, sits down with Katherine Saunders, Co-Founder of Intellihealth, Diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and Host of the Weight Matters Podcast. Join us in this episode as we debunk the long-standing stigma surrounding obesity and learn more about Katherine and Intellihealth's mission to bring accessible medical obesity care for all. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Katherine's mentor had a predecessor company which she and her husband transitioned into Intellihealth, wherein they aim to democratize effective obesity treatment. Serving as a Primary Care physician, Katherine was overwhelmed with her patients' weight-related diseases which inspired her to pursue Obesity Medicine. Physiological and pathophysiological changes occur with excess weight that make it very difficult to lose weight and easy to gain weight. Obesity Medicine is a newer field of medicine. There are only under 6,000 physicians who are certified in Obesity Medicine, which is astoundingly low considering how rampant obesity is in America. The cornerstone of the field is dietary strategies, physical activity, and behavioral change. Medications come in only after comprehensive evaluations and needs assessments. Katherine mentions the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Obesity Medicine Associate, and conferences available to learn more about the field. She works closely with Software Developers in Intellihealth, combining two vastly different fields to make Obesity Medicine more accessible for all. One of their goals is to break the stigma, to educate people that obesity is a disease and not dependent on willpower alone. TWEETABLE QUOTES “Obesity is a disease.

OVERVIEW Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how to attract the top talent to your team when starting or running a new business. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you're launching or starting a new business, building a team of talented people is important for growth. When you have a great team, you can deliver great products and service. When it comes to hiring new employees, position the benefits of working for your company, especially if you can't offer a big salary. One advantage of working for an entrepreneur is autonomy – often not found in the corporate sector. There are layers, meetings and bureaucracy you have to go through with larger entities in the corporate world. Talented people want room to grow and the ability to make decisions. This includes managing budgets and teams, as well as being able to create and come up with solutions. When employees can make decisions, they feel empowered and have a sense of pride in their work. Another perk you can promote is providing a title. This boosts morale and can serve as a stepping stone for your employees further down the road if they decide to pursue other opportunities. Flexible hours help your employees improve their work-life balance. Beyond hours, flexibility can also include working remotely and having time to take vacations. If you want to attract the top talent to your team, verbalize, communicate and market the benefits of working for your new business. Do this across all channels including job boards, your website and during interview questions. Hiring the top talent allows you to take your business to the next level.

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the best way to manage irrational and overly demanding customers. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: When you own a business, complaints are something you can't escape. There are ways you can manage angry customers while maintaining the integrity of your company. Be empathetic and listen to what unsatisfied customers are saying. Put yourself in their shoes and really listen to the core reason behind their complaint. Unhappy customers are louder than happy customers. They're going to make more noise. Always try to resolve the situation before it gets worse. Managing customer expectations, especially customers who escalate easily, can be correlated to the price of your product or service. Minimize the opportunity to complain. If your costs are higher, you'll attract a higher quality customer. Believe it or not, sometimes the customer isn't always right. Don't be afraid to discharge them from your business. Jason shares his former general manager's philosophy and how it resolved sticky situations in the past. Don't feel guilty about taking charge and putting a stop to irrational and insistent customers. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Unhappy customers are louder. They're gonna make more noise than a hundred happy customers.” – Jason Duprat “Discharge your irrational customers, because at the end of the day, it's not worth it – as long as you know you did everything right.” – Jason Duprat CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT: LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Facebook Group RESOURCES: Sign up for one of our free business start-up Masterclasses by heading over to https://healthcareboss.org/masterclass/ Have a healthcare business question?

OVERVIEW: “We're not competitor-obsessed, we're customer-obsessed. We start with what the customer needs and we work backwards.” — Jeff Bezos Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with David Lu, Founder of Axon Video Strategy. In this episode, David shares how he combined his years of Pharmacy experience, passion for Business, and for Video Production expertise to build his value-driven career today. We also learn what separates a regular skill from an in-demand, client-centric service. Tune in to learn more of David's timeless wisdom. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: David grew up with a passion for business-related topics. David's sister started her own Film Production Company in LA and he worked for her for several shoots. He studied Video Production on his own and eventually did Video side projects alongside doing Pharmacy work. He wanted to do what he loved and empower others to do what they loved, so he combined his interest in business with his Video Production skills to pursue that. One of David's techniques for overcoming Impostor Syndrome is practicing gratitude. Whenever he feels discouraged, a trusted friend reminds him of his accomplishments and helps him to be grounded. It's one thing to provide a service, but another thing to provide a metrics-focused result. Rather than focusing on providing Video Production, the highlight of David's business is providing inquiries or leads for businesses. David niching down to serving medical practitioners came down to three factors: Leveraging his existing background in healthcare Who would benefit from his products and services Who is willing and able to pay for his services. When choosing an editor, choose someone who can tell your story. If they don't know the objective of the video, the edit's going to be pointless. You can reach David through axonvs.com or his email, david@davidlufilms.com. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “If someone has Impostor Syndrome, all it means is that they're human.

OVERVIEW Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about why your business should get cybersecurity insurance and different ways to mitigate risks regarding your business' data being hacked or stolen. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Are you taking the right security measures when protecting yourself and your business' data? The recent attack on SolarWinds Orion software is one of the greatest US cybersecurity breaches and affected close to 18,000 companies. The breach led to massive data compromises in big corporations, including governmental agencies, and will take years to identify the damage that's been done. The cybersecurity of your business should always be one of your biggest priorities. Your online data footprint is vulnerable to an attack at any time so protect yourself by purchasing cybersecurity insurance. Use two-factor authentication, which sends a pin code to your cellphone to verify logins. Review your password management protocol. Change your passwords every 6 months and use unpredictable passwords – including a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, along with symbols and numbers. You can also use third-party password software tools such as LastPass. Never plug anything unknown into your computer, such as a thumb drive or CD. They can contain malicious codes that can compromise your computer's files. Set up your routers properly. Change the username and password and check if your router password is encrypted. Make sure you turn on automatic updates for your software to periodically check for viruses. Remember to also include Windows Updates as well. Use open networks with caution. Invest in your wifi hotspot on your phone to prevent unwanted data breaches from suspicious open networks.

OVERVIEW: “Keep it simple, stupid!” – A design principle noted by the U.S. Navy Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about keeping your business “Simple.” Jason shares one of the most common traps new business owners fall into – chasing “Shiny Objects” or feeling the need to be “Extraordinary.” You don't need to do extraordinary things to achieve extraordinary results, and in this episode, Jason explains why. Tune in until the end to hear about Jason's new rank-topping book! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: “Keep it simple, stupid” is a powerful motto Jason has followed since he heard it from his high school teacher. People often believe they need to be wildly “extraordinary” and accomplish “complex” feats. In an interview, Warren Buffet once said, “you don't have to do exceptional things to get exceptional results.” Instead of doing extraordinary things, strive to do simple things extraordinarily. In business, complex systems can cost you effectiveness and efficiency. Keep things at a level where it's easy for everyone to understand. Simple systems and processes benefit you during turnover, as it isn't difficult to pass on responsibilities if they are easy to understand. Pursue businesses that are simple and boring but deliver exceptional results. Business owners who dislike doing “boring” work and are distracted and chase down new, exciting, shiny objects usually deliver subpar results. Moving from “good to great” and “great to exceptional” takes a lot of time, effort, repetition, and going through the “boring” things that feel as if they don't make any progress. As an example, Jason and his team are in the process of simplifying their business. He will consolidate his different business entities into one overarching brand called “Healthcare Boss” to avoid the complexity of using several accounts for several apps. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Keep it simple. If you have a complex business model with complex systems, you're setting yourself up for failure because those take a tremendous amount of resources and mental energy.” – Jason A. Duprat “Every time you're making a business decision about systems, processes, operations, and marketing, think forward and anticipate the impact it's going to bring years down the road.” – Jason A.

OVERVIEW: Be clear on what problem you can solve, and people will listen. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Amelia Roberts, Visibility Strategist, Relationships Facilitator, and the Founder of Solutions by Amelia. When it comes to Entrepreneurship and Marketing, Amelia's passion is second to none. On this episode, she gives us a glimpse of her years of experience in building clients' businesses, discussing a wide variety of concepts, best practices, and personal anecdotes. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, Amelia has always liked Social Media Marketing and Business. After high school, she wanted to study Entrepreneurship but landed in Nursing. Determined to pursue her passion, she found a way to incorporate her love for business into healthcare. Amelia dives deep into her S.C.A.L.E. framework for aiding entrepreneurs with collaborative conversations. Educate your referral partners so they can communicate the problem you can solve. Nurture your client relationship, then use your first testimonials to attract more clients. Salespeople reach out to clients on your behalf, and those reputable in the field have optimized profiles and can demonstrate their detailed steps to captivate clients. Amelia highly recommends these two books: Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen by Donald Miller The Ultimate Sales Machine: Turbocharge Your Business with Relentless Focus on 12 Key Strategies by Chet Holmes TWEETABLE QUOTES "Focus and be clear on the problem that you solve." – Amelia Roberts "Results build on top of one another.

OVERVIEW: “Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.” – Peter Drucker Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of systems and processes. In business, every single second of every single team member counts, so in this episode, Jason teaches us how to streamline workflows and maximize efficiency and productivity through automation, software, and A.I. tools. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: All businesses run on a series of workflows, wherein much of what our team members or we do is repetitive. Jason runs us through his repetitive workflow when producing and publishing his podcast as an example. Jason learned some of his workflow efficiency strategies from Richard Winters, part of his Mastermind Group and a previous guest on this podcast. Document every step of your or your team's tasks or job functions. All the individual steps in these processes require multiple clicks and much time. We can optimize any workflow by reducing repetitive tasks to a minimum. To help streamline his business processes, Jason ensures he's always up-to-date with the latest software and technology and utilizes whatever is most beneficial. A Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) is a step-by-step list of instructions for doing something in your business. Start utilizing S.O.P.s, software tools, and automation strategies while your business is small. Once your business grows and is at max capacity, it'll be difficult to build these systems. A benefit of having S.O.P.s is it makes turnovers easier, as all the tasks new people need to be trained on are all located in the same place. TWEETABLE QUOTES: "Anytime a human is involved in anything, there's a chance of making errors. Software tools and automation help make workflow less error-prone." – Jason A. Duprat "Build your systems and processes while your business is still small or before you even start your practice. It's hard to focus on this when your business has grown to at almost max capacity." – Jason A.

OVERVIEW: “People are not your most important asset. The right people are.” – Jim Collins Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the best practices when hiring for managerial roles. In this episode, Jason recalls his experiences with recent mis-hires, his key takeaways to avoid potential hiring mistakes, and red flags to consider when screening applicants. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Jason recently had mis-hires for the marketing director position of his business. He's since learned from these experiences and has solidified his hiring process. For your business to grow 3x or 5x, you'd want to hire someone with proven experience. Use personality tests to identify an applicant's compatibility with a role. Jason suggests doing a minimum of three interviews to evaluate an applicant thoroughly. Write precise job descriptions with included KPIs they'll be responsible for. To attract great people, ensure a great working environment with excellent company culture. Hire people who fit your company's culture and core values. Hire people who are genuinely passionate about what they do, not those who work for money alone. From Alex Hormozi: Don't hire entrepreneurs. Hire intrapreneurs. Avoid hiring unemployed managers, as they may be underperformers who were terminated. Check out Jason's book Clinic Launch Secrets on Amazon.

OVERVIEW: Communication is 7% Words 38% Tone of Voice 55% Body Language Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Shelly O'Donovan, CEO of Authentic Influence Group, with certifications in Body Language Training and the Big 5 Personalities. In this episode, Shelly reveals commonly overlooked communication practices and advice on getting better at conveying our true selves. Tune in to learn secrets used by politicians and other communication experts. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Shelly went from politics to starting her own business in healthcare, helping companies influence the political arena. She got laid off and became burnt out applying for and working in several jobs before learning about Body Language and being certified. Introverts tend to close themselves through body language. Open your body language, keep your arms open, and make eye contact. To remember someone's name, associate it with anything similar or write down bits of information about the person on a piece of paper when they leave the room. For social media, just be yourself and let the world see you, not being worried about perfecting what you post. In practicing your communication skills, start with small steps and with people you're comfortable with. Shelly recommends checking these people out: Vanessa Van Edwards - Behavioral Investigator at Science of People Joe Navarro - Former FBI Agent and Body Language Expert Dale Carnegie - Best-Selling “Author of How to Win Friends and Influence People” among other books TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Authentic Influence means not trying to be somebody you're not.

OVERVIEW: Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.” – Oprah Winfrey. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Realities of Entrepreneurship through the "Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship." In this episode, Jason shares his advice on how to deal with frustration as a business owner, a challenge he has faced lately in his business, and how he overcome that situation. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Bell Curve of Entrepreneurship consists of X and Y axes, wherein the Y-axis indicates the probability, while the X-axis indicates the distribution of the dataset. Most entrepreneurs running decent businesses are in the middle (mean score) of the bell curve. On one side of the bell curve is Extreme Satisfaction or Elation, On the other side is Extreme Dissatisfaction or Frustration. As an entrepreneur, you won't always be satisfied with your business. There will be days when you will feel extreme frustration. One common challenge businesses face is finding great talent with adequate leadership skills, especially in marketing. It takes a lot of work to find online marketing experts. Those with marketing degrees are often into traditional marketing instead of the newer digital marketing. Marketing is one of the most critical business components you should invest in. You need a strong marketing arm to keep up with your business plans. Frustration is normal and makes you better. Don't beat yourself up about it. Keep your eyes on the prize, focus, and always seek the advice of experts who've overcome your same struggle multiple times. Jason recommends joining Masterminds to get together with like-minded experts miles ahead in their progress. If joining Masterminds has yet to be an option, you may also join communities.

OVERVIEW: "When the customer comes first, the customer will last." - Robert Half Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Value Ladder, a vital strategy to scale your business. In this episode, Jason shares the importance of the Value Ladder, how it can increase Customer Lifetime Value, and the examples of services included in his Value Ladder. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Jason enumerates various products and services that are part of his Value Ladder. The Value Ladder consists of low-level to high-level services. With each step up the value ladder, the higher the investment and the higher the value for the customers. The first step in Jason's Value Ladder is free services such as his Podcast and Newsletters. The second step is Jason's book, "Clinic Launch Secrets," launching soon. The third step is Jason's courses: Ketamine Academy, IV Therapy Academy, and the newly launched Med Spa Launch Academy. Jason and his team are working on tiers even higher than that, such as SEO tools. No matter the kind of business you own, always have free content or services available to your customers. Jason recommends sharing free content on YouTube as it's the second-largest search engine and is run by Google. As a customer, with free content, you have to do all the work yourself. However, when you pay more, you're paying for best practices to save yourself from potential mistakes of financial losses. Not everyone immediately jumps to the higher tiers. They may start with the free content or services and then move up when they're interested in more advanced services. The biggest challenge for clinic owners is the marketing of their service, lead generation, and customer retention. The essence of the Value Ladder is to keep your patients coming back or the Lifetime Customer Value (LCV). TWEETABLE QUOTES: "If nobody knows about your business, you won't have any customers.

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the Product Life Cycle and what it means for your business. In this episode, we'll learn how Cash Generation ties in with Cash Usage as Jason elaborates on the Growth Share Matrix and its four quadrants. Tune into this episode to learn more about leveraging your business income! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Jason uses the BCG matrix, a diagram that helps to put things into perspective what big companies go through when they have multiple products and divisions and they're trying to work towards the following product or service line. The BCG Matrix is also referred to as the Growth Share Matrix. This applies to you if you have a business, big or small, whatever industry. If you want to keep growing, you must leverage your Cash Cow's revenue to start a new product or service line. The problem with cash cows is that the product can die down. The delivery can get stale, and new competition can come in.” You can't just sit on one Cash Cow and expect it to last forever. What most businesses do is they'll invest the money earned from that Cash Cow. Throughout the episode, Jason discusses different services they're working on as an example of how to leverage the BCG Matrix. While this isn't a hard rule, Jason suggests not putting all your time and investment into “Dogs” because that's not where the business growth opportunities are. Solving your existing customers' problems is much better for ROI and increases your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). TWEETABLE QUOTES: "The Cash Cow is what your business leverages to produce the income necessary to develop, add, create, or build additional products or services." – Jason A. Duprat "Start with just one or two products or services. If you get really good at those, at some point, you're going to develop a Cash Cow." – Jason A.

She didn't have any shapewear at her wedding, but did try to drink a gallon of water each day leading up to it. She also ate wedding cake for three days after the ceremony.00:13:15 - Savoring Bliss,Dr. Stephanie shares how savoring the bliss is a learned skill for someone like her who is very driven and always striving for success. Slowing down and being present can help people attune to their senses00:14:56 - Deepening Love After MarriageDr. Stephanie shares her experience of feeling a deeper sense of commitment and love towards her husband after getting officially married.00:17:10 - Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)Dr. Stephanie discusses her views on HRT and mentions that she is not currently on it but is not against it. She emphasizes the importance of understanding lab results before deciding to take HRT.00:21:51 - Creatine SupplementationDr. Stephanie explains what creatine is and how it is used to regenerate ATP within the cell. She recommends taking 3-5 grams of creatine daily to maintain average creatine storage and suggests loading the cell by taking 20 grams per day for 6-7 days or 5 grams daily for a month to saturate muscle.00:25:48 - What is Creatine?Dr. Stephanie explains that creatine is the primary constituent of phosphocreatine, which is found in skeletal muscle.00:29:57 - Understanding Ozempic,Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses Ozempic, a medication that mimics the action of GLP one and helps to increase insulin secretion. It can improve glycemic control, reduce appetite, and make you feel fuller.00:35:40 - Estrogen Dominance and Reduced Blood Flow,Dr. Estima explains that age, lack of ovulation, body weight changes, too much exercise, pregnancy, and stress can cause a woman's period to become lighter.00:44:24 - Understanding Perimenopause,Dr. Estima shares the classic definition of perimenopause, which is the time leading up to menopause when a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate.00:50:11 - Importance of Self-Advocacy,Dr. Estima emphasizes the importance of thinking critically and advocating for oneself when it comes to healthcare decisions.00:45:48 - Menstrual Migraines and Perimenopause Symptoms,Dr. Estima discusses menstrual migraines caused by unchecked estrogen in the luteal phase, swollen and painful breasts due to low progesterone, and subtle yet significant signs of perimenopause like back pain, joint stiffness, and reduced libido.00:48:15 - Intermittent Fasting,Dr. Estima still practices intermittent fasting (IF) as a way to control calories, improve autophagy, and promote hormonal balance. However, her fasting window is gentle and lasts for 12-14 hours at most, with most fasting happening while sleeping.00:51:54 - Seed Cycling,Dr. Estima shares a neutral stance on seed cycling, acknowledging its potential benefits for some women's menstrual cycles, but also highlighting that other whole foods like oysters and Brazil nuts can also provide the same nutrients for hormonal support.00:56:23 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,Dr. Estima emphasizes the often overlooked role of mobility and proprioception in overall fitness and movement.00:58:44 - Stability Issues during Exercise,Dr. Estima uses the example of an overhead dumbbell press to explain how stability issues in the scapula can impact exercise performance and progress.01:00:10 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,Dr. Stephanie discusses how focusing on hip and ankle mobility before leg day has become a regular part of her workout routine.01:02:38 - Controlling the Weight,Dr. Stephanie talks about the importance of control in weightlifting. She explains that the weight should not control you, and that freezing at any point in the range of motion, such as during a squat, is a sign of good control.01:04:41 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts (Part 2),Dr. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of mobility workouts again, stating that they should be an essential part of anyone's workout routine.01:05:33 - Audience Feedback and Closing Remarks,Dr. Stephanie invites listeners to give feedback on the show and suggests that they can do so by responding to polls on Instagram.We'd like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

Meet Vincent M. Pedre the Medical Director of Pedre Integrative Health and President of Dr. Pedre Wellness. Dr. Pedre is a Board-Certified Internist and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner in private practice in New York City since 2004. His philosophy and practices are a blend of both Western and Eastern medical traditions. He is a Clinical Instructor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, as well as certified in yoga and Medical Acupuncture.Links for this episode:Fermented-food diet increases microbiome diversity, decreases inflammatory proteins, study findsThe Importance of Food for Endotoxemia and an Inflammatory ResponseGutSmartProtocol.comThe GutSMART QuizInstagram @drpedreEpisode Description00:07:30 - The Gut-Skin Connection, The gut and skin originate from the same cells in embryology, making their connection significant. Patients with skin issues may benefit from a functional medicine approach that considers the connection between gut health and skin issues, like hives, acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis.00:11:45 - Celiac Genetics and Gluten-Free Diets, Celiac genetics are prevalent in people of Irish descent, and eliminating gluten from the diet can alleviate hives and other skin issues. A functional medicine approach can provide a solution for patients who have seen dermatologists without any results.00:13:35 - Good and Bad Bacteria in the Gut, The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that includes a set of bad bacteria that serve a purpose and keep the system in balance. Opportunistic bacteria can flourish in environments where the diet is not optimal, leading to gut-centric and non-gut-centric issues.00:16:23 - The Gut Microbiome of Indigenous Tribes, Dr. Pedre discusses the gut microbiome of indigenous tribes and how it differs from Westerners. Indigenous tribes consume a high-fiber diet, and their gut microbiome has adapted to digest difficult-to-digest fibers. 00:20:20 - The Importance of Gut Microbiome Adaptation, Dr. Pedre stresses the importance of slowly introducing changes to the gut microbiome. A sudden change can lead to bloating and discomfort. 00:25:05 - The Gut-Airway Connection, Dr. Pedre explains how the gut microbiome is connected to upper respiratory infections. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome and immune system, leading to recurrent infections. Pregnancy can ramp up the immune system, but can also suppress certain parts to protect the baby.00:29:35 - Lipopolysaccharides and Metabolism, Dr. Pedre explains that Lipopolysaccharides (LPs), also known as endotoxins, are released by gram-negative bacteria and can be absorbed into the body. LPs levels increase after meals high in fat, especially saturated and hydrogenated fats. LPs can affect metabolism and insulin sensitivity.00:33:42 - Microbiome and Leaky Gut, Dr. Pedre explains how an unfavorable microbiome and leaky gut can lead to the absorption of lipopolysaccharides and cause many health issues, such as weight gain, muscle aches, fatigue, and depression. Keeping a food, mood and poop journal can help identify patterns and triggers.00:35:34 - Timeline for Food Sensitivities, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss the importance of keeping a food journal to identify patterns of food sensitivities. They explain how sensitivities can have a threshold effect, where one exposure may be fine, but a second exposure can cause symptoms. Other factors such as stress, sleep, and food combinations can also impact sensitivities.00:39:35 - Stress and Gut Health, Dr. Pedre explains how stress can affect the gut microbiome, gut permeability, and vagal tone. High cortisol levels from stress can alter the gut ecosystem, leading to more yeast in the gut and sugar cravings. 00:43:39 - Behavioral Changes Caused by Stress, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss how stress can drive behavioral changes such as cravings for sugar and comfort foods. 00:49:39 - The Power of Soil and Dirt, Dr. Pedre emphasizes the importance of soil and dirt for our microbiome. Exposure to organic soil without toxins can magnify our gut microbiome diversity, as seen in the Hadza tribe.00:55:05 - Diversity vs. Eating the Rainbow, Dr. Pedre discusses a Stanford study that compared a high fiber diet to a high fermented foods diet. The high fiber diet did not show a significant increase in microbiome diversity, while the fermented foods diet did. Diversity is the holy grail, but it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.00:59:00 - The Role of Fiber and Fermented Foods, The study found that fermented foods had a significant impact on microbiome diversity and reduced inflammation. While fiber had a smaller impact, it helped to regulate the immune system. 01:03:27 - Gut Disruptors, Dr. Pedre notes that alcohol is a significant gut disruptor. Other factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, and processed foods, can also impact gut health. A personalized approach to healing the gut is necessary, with fermented foods and fiber as cornerstones, but with consideration of individual circumstances.01:06:18 - Dairy and its impact on gut health, Dr. Pedre discusses the impact of dairy on gut health, highlighting that it can cause constipation and trigger food sensitivities due to lactose and dairy protein intolerance. 01:07:35 - Fecal matter transplant, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss fecal matter transplant as a possible treatment for gut-related conditions such as Crohn's colitis and ulcerative colitis. While it is not yet approved for many indications, it has shown promise in experimental treatments for food sensitivities and autism in the microbiome community.01:11:06 - Protecting the microbiome, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre stress the importance of protecting the microbiome throughout life, from birth to adulthood and into old age. They discuss the negative impacts of persistent antibiotic use and emphasize the need to foster microbial diversity through diet, exposure to nature, and limiting exposure to mass agriculture.01:13:32 - Seeking microbial diversity, Dr. Pedre encourages individuals to seek microbial diversity in their gut by avoiding antibiotics as much as possible, only using them when necessary. He advises fostering microbial diversity through a healthy diet, exposure to nature, and gardening. He notes that microbial diversity is a key factor in the health of centenarians.We'd like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

The decline in egg quality and sperm quality with age is a major limiting factor in infertility, which is a concern for women who choose to have babies later in life. 00:19:57 - Decline in Male Fertility, Dr. Shanna explains that research on the declining rate of male fertility has been around for 30 years. The first study in 1992 reported that sperm count had decreased by 50% in 50 years. However, this figure was met with skepticism. 00:23:30 - Early Puberty in Girls, Dr. Stephanie brings up the phenomenon of early puberty in girls, and Dr. Shanna explains that it is a real concern. Girls are starting menstruation earlier and earlier, which is not only a risk for psychological and social challenges but also for fertility. 00:25:46 - Environmental Factors Affecting Sperm Count, Dr. Shanna discusses her study on environmental factors affecting sperm count. She found that exposure to phthalates, a chemical found in plastics, is linked to lower sperm count. Exposure to other chemicals like bis00:34:10 - Factors Affecting Sperm Count, The recruitment bias and selection bias of the men in the studies from 1940 and 1990 were analyzed. The lifestyle factors of smoking, obesity, exercise, and stress were found to be important. Chemicals that affect the reproductive system, particularly testosterone and estrogen, were also identified.00:40:16 - Plastic Increase and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, After World War II, scientists were revered, and plastic production increased rapidly. However, plastic has a large number of chemicals that can alter hormones. Phthalates are particularly concerning as they lower testosterone levels and can affect genital formation during pregnancy.00:43:45 - Non-Monotonic Dose Response and Endocrinology, Hormones often respond non-linearly to low doses of chemicals, affecting not just testosterone, but also estrogen and the immune system. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can have a significant effect, regardless of the dose.00:49:57 - Phthalate Syndrome, Phthalates can cause the phthalate syndrome, where exposure in utero in male rodents can affect genital formation and induce infertility and other health problems. Humans have phthalates in their bodies, and pregnant women are particularly at risk for exposure.00:51:44 - Development of Genitalia in Male and Female Fetuses, Dr. Swan explains how the genitals of fetuses develop under genetic regulation, and everything changes during a critical period of gestation. She highlights how testosterone contributes to the differentiation of genitalia in male fetuses and explains how insufficient testosterone exposure can undermasculinize males.00:54:27 - The Analogeneital Distance (AGD), Dr. Estima and Dr. Swan discuss the AGD and how it is an important distance that differentiates males and females in almost every mammal. They also discuss how it can be difficult to measure the AGD accurately because it is soft tissue and how standardization of the position of the legs is necessary when measuring the AGD.01:02:36 - The Phthalate Syndrome in Humans, Dr. Swan discusses how she found the phthalate syndrome in humans after researching variations in AGD, penile size, and descent of the testicles. She highlights how many papers have found other chemicals related to AGD and how she would love to see AGD become part of the standard of care.01:05:14 - Implications of AGD on Testosterone and Longevity, Dr. Swan explains how AGD has massive implications on men's capacity for testosterone, sperm production, and longevity. 01:08:09 - The Relationship between AGD and Sperm Count, Dr. Swan discusses her research on the relationship between AGD (anogenital distance) and sperm count. Her study found a direct linear relationship between the length of AGD and the number of sperm, indicating that the longer the AGD, the higher the sperm count. 01:13:27 - Phthalate Syndrome and Exposure, Dr. Swan explains phthalate syndrome, a condition assigned at birth that affects the male reproductive system and is caused by exposure to phthalates. She discusses the common sources of phthalates, such as plastic tubing, personal care products, and food packaging. 01:15:24 - NICU Exposure and Other Hormonal Effects, Dr. Swan highlights the dangers of exposure to phthalates and other hormone-disrupting chemicals in the NICU, where preemies are especially vulnerable. She also notes that these chemicals can affect other hormonal systems in the body, such as lung development, brain development, and blood pressure. 01:20:28 - BPA-Free Products and Other Chemicals, Dr. Swan addresses the issue of manufacturers substituting BPA-free products with similar chemicals that have the same effects. She also mentions other chemicals that disrupt hormones, such as PFAS chemicals in Teflon and sunscreen. 01:26:10 - Gender Dysphoria and Environmental Chemicals, Dr. Swan explores the relationship between gender dysphoria and exposure to environmental chemicals. She acknowledges the complexity of the topic and emphasizes the need for further research before drawing conclusions.We'd like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?
