What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

Forcasters predict at least 8-13 named storm this hurrican season. Of those, they add that 3 will be strong, impactful storms. Do not wait until the last minute to get prepared. Keep your car 1/2 full at all times during hurricane season. Keep cash on hand. Make sure you have your important documents and medical needs figured out. A generator is a good idea, but be mindful to have it in a well-ventilated area outside. Those toxic fumes can kill.

In this episode, Crystal River City Manager Audra Curts shares her deep experience in hurricane preparedness and disaster recovery, with a special focus on the unique challenges small cities face. Audra reflects on being hit by Hurricane Helene just two days into the job, followed by Hurricane Milton a week later, and the flooding of City Hall from Hurricane Idalia before her arrival.Audra draws from her past roles in city and school district leadership, including her time as CFO for Polk County schools during the 2004 hurricanes. She explains how storm recovery often requires cities to front costs long before FEMA or insurance funds arrive, making financial reserves and intergovernmental cooperation essential.From managing recovery for over 160 school sites to navigating citywide disaster impacts, Audra encourages proactive planning, strong departmental coordination, and the importance of having flexible funding options ready. Her insights offer a valuable blueprint for local governments preparing for and responding to major storms.

This week on the Disaster Podcast we take a look at the 2026 hurricane forecast put out by several universities, NOAA, and groups like Accuweather. One key variable in predicting the coming season is the presence or absence of El Niño or La Niña in the equatorial region of the central Pacific Ocean. Dan DePodwin, our disaster weather expert breaks down the coming forecast and talks about how global weather and climate patterns impact storm formation half a world away. Dr. Joe Holley joins the discussion as well and we look at the messaging around hurricanes as they approach landfall. The National Hurricane Center recently updated their forecast cone graphic to make it easier to understand. Dan and Joe share their thoughts about the adjustments and about disaster messaging in general. Joe also shares his thoughts about preparedness for the coming season at the local, state, and federal levels. What to know about the new cone graphic: Incorporates all land-based (coastal and inland) tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings in effect for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands; Uses single shading for the entire 5-day outlook cone; Legend depicts symbols for areas where a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning are both in effect (represented by diagonal pink and blue lines); and Full and intermediate Tropical Cyclone Advisories are/will be publicly available on hurricanes.gov. NHC will also be introducing a new experimental version of the NHC's Tropical Cyclone Track Forecast Cone. Since its debut in 2002, the cone has shown where the tropical cyclone's forecast center is likely to go, based on past forecast calculations.

Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Hurricane Season Forecast Discussion The podcast host Jamie Davis welcomed back Dr. Joe and Dan Depodwin to discuss upcoming weather events, particularly the hurricane season. Dr. Joe shared his upcoming schedule, including a Paragon lab in Florida and the First Care Conference in Fort Lauderdale in early June, which runs alongside the Gathering of the Eagles event. Dan discussed unusual weather patterns in the Northeast, noting chilly conditions in May despite early warm spells, and shared AccuWeather’s forecast for the Atlantic hurricane season, predicting 11-16 named storms and 4-7 hurricanes, which is around or slightly below average. He emphasized that even in a below-average season, multiple hurricanes could still impact the United States, using Hurricane Andrew in 1992 as an example. El Nino’s Impact on Hurricanes Dan and Jamie discussed how El Nino and La Nina affect hurricane seasons in the Atlantic Basin. Dan explained that El Nino, characterized by warmer than average water temperatures in the Pacific, typically leads to increased wind shear in the Atlantic, resulting in fewer hurricanes. They noted that while El Nino years generally have fewer storms, they don’t eliminate the possibility of storms. Dan mentioned that current forecasts indicate a strong or potentially record-breaking El Nino developing later in the summer and continuing into the fall. El Niño and Hurricane Season Dan explained that El Niño is driven by weakening easterly winds along the equator in the Pacific Ocean, which reduces cooler water upwelling and leads to warmer ocean temperatures. He noted that hurricanes play a crucial role in transferring energy globally by moving heat from the equator to higher latitudes. Dan emphasized that while this year’s hurricane season may have fewer storms than normal, the warm sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico will continue to fuel storm intensification, making preparation essential during the season running from June 1st to November 30th. Hurricane Preparedness and Response Planning The group discussed hurricane preparedness and response capabilities ahead of the upcoming hurricane season. Joe explained FEMA’s reorganization, noting that while federal response capabilities are effective, there may be variability in state-level preparedness and recovery efforts. The discussion included an analysis of updated National Hurricane Center forecast cone graphics, which now better show inland risks and warning areas. Dan and Joe emphasized the importance of heeding evacuation orders and preparing well in advance of storms, with Joe highlighting the need for experiential training and partnership between federal and state teams. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

A Story That Changes Everything Wendi shares a personal experience from Hurricane Isabel in 2003 that reshaped how she views preparedness and self-reliance. The Power of Taking Action A family friend drives five hours after a hurricane to get what his family needs instead of waiting for help. No electricity No access to gas No expectation of rescue Just action Preparedness Isn't Panic You don't have to prepare for everything. Trying to do that leads to overwhelm and fear. Instead: Focus on what you can do Build simple systems Stay grounded and calm The Mindset Shift You can be affected by a situation without becoming stuck in it. There's a difference between: Being a victim of a circumstance Acting like a victim Real-Life Practical Tips Simple things that make a big difference: Keep your gas tank above half Keep cash on hand Expect systems to fail during emergencies When Things Go Wrong It's okay to pause and feel it. Then ask: “What can I do next?” That question is where self-reliance begins. The Bigger Message Preparedness is not about control. It's about confidence. It allows you to: Care for your family Help others Move forward without panic Listener Takeaway Preparedness brings peace. And self-reliance creates freedom.

Speaker Bio:  Mira Dessy is an author, speaker, Holistic Nutritionist and Real Food Advocate who emphasizes a healthy lifestyle and eating whole foods. After experiencing years of debilitating digestive issues and health challenges, Mira realized the healing strength of food after she learned to eat right – slowly but surely regaining her health. Her recovery and its connection to food and eating made such a powerful impact that she returned to school and earned certification as a Nutrition Educator. As a Certified Nutrition Educator, Mira uses her experience and knowledge to educate others on how to navigate the grocery store's mammoth packaged food stock, decipher confusing food labels, and choose healthy convenience foods. Her book, The Pantry Principle: How to read the label and understand what's really in your food helps readers understand these principles. Mira's mission as “The Ingredient Guru” is to help people feel balanced, healthy, and to support them as they work to achieve their health goals. Each body is unique, exceptional, one of a kind. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Through individual consults, public speaking events, and wellness seminars, Mira focuses on education, knowledge, and empowerment coupled with the valuable lessons she learned in her own journey to health to support and encourage us all to eat well and be well.   Connect with Mira Dessy: Website: https://theingredientguru.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theingredientguru/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theingredientguru/?hl=en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheIngredientGuru Email: mira@theingredientguru.com   Additional Resources (as discussed on the podcast):    Preparedness Calendar: https://theingredientguru.com/2025calendar Freeze Dried Camp Stew:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugw7-OXRXKQ  Freeze Dried Egg Scramble:  https://youtu.be/1Dz1iZCmHIw  Washington Post Article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/08/09/costco-emergency-food-kit-apocalypse-review/ Class/Course Offerings:  Join The Kitchen Table (for special courses, like the Preparedness Pantry Masterclass): https://thekitchentable.thinkific.com/courses/ppm Keywords:  emergency preparedness, real food emergency preparedness, preparedness pantry, hurricane preparedness, emergency supplies, disaster preparedness, emergency food storage, protein storage, water storage, water filtration, power outages, portable power sources, cooking during emergencies, sanitation in emergencies, preparedness calendar, membership program, food rotation, pantry organization, emergency nutrition, freeze-dried foods, dehydrated foods, camp stoves, portable generators, emergency cooking solutions, functional health professionals, holistic nutrition, ingredient guru, emergency supply planning, natural disaster preparation, survival skills training Disclaimer: The views expressed in the RWS Clinician's Corner series are those of the individual speakers and interviewees, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Restorative Wellness Solutions, LLC.
