Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Ever been told you're "too wet" or worried you're "not wet enough?" In this episode of Sex Reimagined, Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown break down the real truth behind vaginal wetness, arousal signals, and why lubrication isn't the only factor  with how turned on you actually are. They dig into why making noise during sex unlocks deeper arousal, the difference between Taoist and Tantric approaches to sounding, why lube should be a staple and never a source of shame, what happens once you experience female ejaculation, how to navigate period sex with confidence, and how to have a compassionate conversation with a partner about hygiene without triggering shame. This one is packed with practical, body-literate tools for anyone who has ever felt self-conscious about wetness, smell, sound, or fluids during sex.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSWetness and arousal don't always match. Cervical fluid, cycle timing, and hormones can make you wet or dry independent of how turned on you feel.Sounding isn't performance, it's a shortcut to pleasure. Making noise from the top of your inhale to the bottom of your exhale moves energy and gets you out of your head.Female ejaculation strips away viscous fluid. Ejaculators often need more lube afterward, not less.Lube is a tool, not a confession. Reaching for it has nothing to do with how attracted you are to your partner.Period sex has ancient roots as ritual and healing, not just something to tolerate or avoid.Hygiene conversations go better with curiosity and a "we can do better here" frame instead of blame.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/too-wet-not-wet-enough Sexual Reflexology Online Masterclass - Join us September 2nd at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern for a live masterclass on zoom.

When I first started learning about PDA six years ago, so much of what I encountered was focused on behavior. What I was not seeing discussed was something I kept observing in my own family, and have since seen in thousands of families I have worked with: the way cumulative nervous system activation can disable a child or teen from accessing the things they need to stay alive.In this episode, an excerpt from the Understanding PDA Masterclass, I walk through what basic needs struggles actually look like across five domains: toileting, sleep, hygiene, eating, and safety. I share why I conceptualize PDA as a nervous system disability, how the survival drive for autonomy can override other survival instincts, and why paradoxically the most effective intervention for a basic needs struggle is often to stop focusing on it directly.Key TakeawaysWhy PDA May Be a Nervous System Disability, Not a Behavioral Disorder | 00:00:00 I define PDA as a survival drive for autonomy and equality that consistently overrides other survival instincts, including the instinct to eat, sleep, stay safe, maintain hygiene, and use the bathroom. This is what makes it distinct from other neurotypes and what led me to begin theorizing it as a nervous system disability. This also makes it distinct from "a behavioral problem". The challenges our children face are physiological, and this is part of what I am researching with the University of Michigan.The Fire, the Traffic, and the River: When Autonomy Overrides Safety in the Moment | 00:03:30 On a night of camping when my son was four and a half, he kept moving toward the campfire the more we told him to stay back, to the point where I had to physically restrain him from running into it. I have heard similar accounts from families of children running toward oncoming traffic or accelerating into a lake when told to move away. These are extreme examples that I share to show how the survival drive for autonomy can override the instinct to stay safe in real time. They are not defiance. They are a nervous system response that has overridden the instinct that should have protected the child.Five Basic Needs and What Struggles Can Look Like | 00:06:32 Toileting struggles can include regression to diapers, UTIs from withholding, accidents, and refusing to use the toilet. Sleep struggles can include a non-twenty-four-hour cycle, intensifying bedtime resistance, and needing to co-sleep at eleven or twelve years old with no prior history of it. Hygiene can include refusing tooth brushing, bathing, nail cutting, or hair cuts. Eating can present as extreme restriction, similar to ARFID but without the body image component, or as compulsive eating. Safety struggles can range from running toward traffic or fire to self-harm, suicidal ideation, or harming others. Two PDA children can have the same root cause and look dramatically different across all five domains.The Paradox: Focusing on the Basic Need Often Makes It Worse | 00:11:09 When my son stopped eating, every instinct told me to find strategies to make him eat. I went to feeding therapy. I tried every approach in the moment. But for a PDA child, focusing attention and gentle pressure on eating registers as a loss of autonomy and can intensify the avoidance. What I have seen across thousands of families is that bringing down cumulative nervous system activation across all domains, not in the moment of the basic need struggle, is what allows the control to release and the need to become accessible again. That is the paradigm shift.Doubt, Fluctuation, and Why Basic Needs Must Be Part of the PDA Profile | 00:09:34 Because basic needs struggles fluctuate, parents are often doubted or doubt themselves. A child may brush their teeth at the beginning of the week and refuse by Friday. They may eat one food for months and then drop it. They may have had no toileting issues and then regress at age eight. This fluctuation is a feature of the cumulative model, not evidence that the disability is inconsistent. Basic needs have largely been left out of the behavioral literature on PDA. I believe they belong at the center of the profile, because if a child cannot access safety, sleep, eating, hygiene, or toileting, their health and survival are at risk.Relevant ResourcesUnderstanding PDA — The free masterclass from which this episode is excerpted, covering the full nervous system disability framework and basic needs indicators described here.Burnout — Free class with context for the burnout threshold at which basic needs struggles tend to intensify and become most disabling.Tracking Progress — Free class on the three dimensions I track with families, including basic needs access as a primary indicator of whether cumulative nervous system activation is coming down.Paradigm Shift Program — My signature program where the basic needs framework, cost-benefit decision making, and the full accommodation toolkit are taught across twelve weeks of live coaching.Mentioned in this episode:Free Live WorkshopI'm offering a free live workshop this month: "Supporting your PDA child or teen through burnout without breaking yourself in the process."Free Live Workshop Registration

Heute an den Mikros in einem neuen Bonusbierchen, war Jennifer Claus. Jennifer ist seit über 20 Jahren Piercerin und betreibt ihr Studio an der Lindhorststraße in Bottrop. Und wenn jemand zwei Jahrzehnte lang Menschen freiwillig Löcher in sämtliche Körperteile macht, dann haben wir natürlich Fragen. Viele Fragen. Wie weh tut eigentlich ein Nippelpiercing wirklich? Wo tut's am meisten weh? Was war der kurioseste Wunsch, den Jennifer jemals gehört hat? Gibt es Stellen, bei denen selbst sie sagt: „Nö, da geh ich nicht dran“? Und wie oft kippt eigentlich jemand um, obwohl die Nadel noch gar nicht angesetzt wurde? Aber Jennifer kann nicht nur Löcher reinmachen – sie macht sie teilweise auch wieder zu. Sie rekonstruiert ausgeleierte oder gerissene Ohrläppchen, kümmert sich um ehemalige Tunnel und entfernt Piercingnarben. Also quasi einmal Piercing vorwärts und rückwärts. Wir reden über 20 Jahre Piercing-Erfahrung, verrückte Trends, Schmerzen, Ängste, Schmuck, Hygiene, Jugendsünden und natürlich über die Körperstellen, bei denen wir schon beim Zuhören kurz zusammenzucken. Ein Bonusbierchen über Nadeln, Nippel, Narben und die Erkenntnis: Es gibt offenbar kaum eine Stelle am menschlichen Körper, bei der nicht irgendwann mal jemand gefragt hat: „Kann man da eigentlich ein Piercing reinmachen?“

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Wendy Briggs live from Thrive Live 2026 in Las Vegas. Wendy shares her perspective on the current state of dental hygiene, including the ongoing provider shortage, rising wages, temp labor trends, and the growing need for practices to shift from hiring to recruiting. She explains how strong hygiene departments are built through better systems, clearer communication, elevated patient care, and compensation models that create wins for the patient, the provider, and the practice.  Wendy and Mark also discuss assisted hygiene, risk assessment, preventive therapy, periodontal care, treatment advocacy, and how hygienists can help drive treatment acceptance by making conditions visual and partnering more effectively with the doctor. Throughout the conversation, Wendy emphasizes that production should never be the goal, but rather the natural result of serving patients at the highest possible level.

We're talking Ariana Grande's body image controversy, the hypocrisy around discussing celebrities' bodies, and why some conversations about body image seem to have completely different rules depending on who we're talking about. Then we're getting into Black Republicans because… y'all are pissing me off. All skin folk ain't kinfolk.We're also talking about the death of club culture, why nobody wants to dance anymore, and how the hell we got scammed into spending hundreds of dollars on “sections” just to stand around all night. And finally: MEN. HYGIENE. Why. Are. Y'all. So. MUSTY?! There is no reason I should have to hold my breath in public because somebody decided deodorant and soap were optional. A little social commentary, a little cultural critique, a lot of opinions, and—as always—a whole lot of shit talking.

On today's episode, Dr. Addison Killeen speaks during the Dental Success Summit 2026 about building a stress-free hygiene system that creates clarity, consistency, and less decision fatigue inside the practice. He breaks down the real stress many dentists are feeling right now, from staffing shortages to burnout, and explains why weak hygiene systems can spill over into the entire practice.  Dr. Killeen introduces a practical five-by-five method: five meetings over five weeks focused on clinical protocols, standardized verbiage, stronger handoffs, the right hygiene KPIs, and a functional block schedule. He also shares how better systems can help hygienists communicate more confidently, improve perio diagnosis and treatment acceptance, protect valuable appointment blocks, and give doctors more energy for the decisions that matter most.

Die Luzerner Lebensmittelkontrolle hat letztes Jahr rund 1700 Restaurants und Lebensmittelgeschäfte kontrolliert. Bei der grossen Mehrheit sind die hygienischen Verhältnisse gut oder sehr gut. Weniger zufrieden ist die Kontrollbehörde bei Alkoholverkäufen an Jugendliche und bei Solarien. Weiter in der Sendung: · Wohnungsbau war im Kanton Luzern im Jahr 2024 ausserordentlich tief. · SP will von Schwyzer Regierung Vorschläge gegen die Hitze in Schulzimmern.

Prompten ist kinderleicht – nur gewusst wie. In dieser Folge zeigt Matthias Lehrke (Wirtschaftsingenieur, Berater der Lebensmittelwirtschaft und Obmann des DGQ-Arbeitskreises HACCP und Hygiene), wie sich KI im Qualitätsmanagement (QM) und in der Qualitätssicherung (QS) sinnvoll einsetzen lässt. Sein zentraler Punkt: Der Prompt ist wichtiger als das verwendete KI-Modell. Anhand konkreter Beispiel-Prompts – von der formalen Dokumentenprüfung über Gefahrenanalysen bis zur Plausibilitätsprüfung von Korrekturmaßnahmen – wird gezeigt, wo KI im Arbeitsalltag echte Zeitersparnis bringt und wo ihre Grenzen liegen. Die Folge ist ein Auszug eines Webinars der BEHR'S Akademie und richtet sich an Fachleute aus QM, QS und Lebensmittelsicherheit, die KI praxisnah und datenschutzkonform nutzen möchten. Die wichtigsten Themen dieser Folge: Prompt vor Modell: Warum die Qualität des Prompts entscheidender ist als die Wahl der KI – und wie man die KI den eigenen Prompt sogar selbst verbessern lässt. Master-Prompts & Reproduzierbarkeit: Wie strukturierte Master-Prompts mit rund 15 festen Themengebieten (Rolle, Aufgabe, Quelle, Negativvorgaben u. a.) für vergleichbare, reproduzierbare Ergebnisse sorgen. Datenschutz & Grenzen der KI: Sensible Daten gehören nur in abgeschottete, datenschutzkonforme KI-Umgebungen – und trotz 80–90 % Genauigkeit braucht es immer die fachliche Kontrolle durch den Menschen. Formale Dokumentenprüfung: Verständlichkeit, Sprachniveau und Lesbarkeit von Arbeitsanweisungen automatisiert bewerten und so den blinden Fleck bei der Dokumentenerstellung beseitigen. Gefahrenanalysen & HACCP: Wie KI Gefahren je Prozessschritt auflistet, Ursachen und Auswirkungen unterscheidet und einen belastbaren Grundstock für die Gefahrenanalyse liefert. Audits & Korrekturmaßnahmen: KI zur Vorbereitung von Auditlisten inklusive typischer Schwachstellen sowie zur Plausibilitätsprüfung von Korrekturen und Korrekturmaßnahmen (z. B. im Rahmen von IFS Food 8). Timestamps für Schnellhörer: 04:10 – Datenschutz und die roten Linien: Welche Daten niemals in die KI gehören. 07:11 – Master-Prompts: Reproduzierbarkeit durch strukturierte Prompt-Vorlagen. 11:15 – Codes als Kürzel: Wie kurze Befehle lange Prompts ersetzen. 14:35 – Formale Dokumentenprüfung: Verständlichkeit und Sprachniveau bewerten. 25:22 – Ursachenanalysen mit KI: Kreative Ursachensuche statt halber Analysen. 26:51 – Daten analysieren: Mittelwert, Median und Prozessfähigkeit ohne teures Statistiktool. 28:21 – Audits vorbereiten: Auditlisten mit typischen Schwachstellen erstellen. 29:51 – Korrekturmaßnahmen prüfen: Plausibilitätscheck im Rahmen eines IFS Food 8 Audits.

This week we focus on the external forces that shape medicine and healthcare.  Global health is changing, after the reduction in financing from wealthy nations, the global community are beginning to implement reforms to improve the situation. However, any change will be unsuccessful until we tackle the fundamental structures that govern outcomes, argue Daniel Bernal-Serrano and Omar Gabriel Torres Valencia from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. They join us to explain how economic forces, wealth distribution, and market dynamics undermine health outcomes. We also learn about the rapid rise in private equity financing of healthcare in the UK, and the dangers that poses to healthcare quality. Bernd Rechel is a researcher at the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, and explains how different countries are handling this drive for healthcare profit extraction.   Reading list: Private equity involvement in UK healthcare Reforming global health architecture requires confronting its political economy

Kiera shares three approaches that will help you consistently and quickly fill your schedule on a daily basis: maximizing your current patients, creating the perfect handoff, and building consistent marketing. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we're gonna talk about what to do when you've got like holes in the schedule. I wanted to have a tactical one. I just came from a practice that is like an amazing same-day converter. but I want to just like talk about like it's very, very stressful when you're looking at your schedule and you just see holes, like holes everywhere. And so, what can we do to fill those holes? How can we make sure you have a very productive practice? and it's not always a marketing problem. It's not necessarily that we need more patience.   Let's just figure out how we can do like what are some simple things to help you fill those holes to have a very pro productive, predictable schedule. And like really, there's going to be holes. So let's make sure that team members and doctors have a really good solution. That way we can make sure that we take care of it. So I want to talk to you about like if you're not busy enough, how we fix it, where we can get that growth with predictability, and like three things that are gonna help you consistently fill your schedule on a regular basis. So   Dental A Team, we've worked with hundreds of practices across the nation, you guys. This is something that we see. This is something that's common. We consult them in person. We consult them virtually. And it's just something of like filling a schedule is always top of mind. It's always how do we how do we make sure it's consistently up to goal? and I think it's just a discipline. It's not something that is always talked about. It's a, it's how do we make sure, like what are the, what are the core tools to get my system? And   I think that that's just a way for you guys to to be able to be consistent and you don't need to worry about as many new patients. Like it's still a thing and I'm not here to just click it away. But this is like, let's just look for opportunities that are already sitting inside your practice that are easy. Again, they're already in the toolbox. Let's just pull these tools out for you. So what are three big areas that you can focus on quickly to help you? So I would just came from an office. It was awesome. I swear this office, like they've got holes and they just make it rain every day. It's like, all right, what are we gonna do? How are we gonna convert?   And I will say being really, really good at same day conversion is going to be a great thing. So it's maximizing the patients you already have. So instead of going after new patients, like what are the ones we already have? So what this looks like, we like are gonna look at our unscheduled treatment plans. We're gonna look for patients that are overdue and hygiene, and we're going to make sure that we're reactivating and recare and then making sure we're reappointing all patients. So number one, like a good morning huddle can fix a lot of this. So I love people to prep the day and let's all talk in huddle.   To see who has outstanding treatment. And if we are consistently doing this, of every patient who has unscheduled treatment and we schedule them in office, like the fastest, easiest way is like not going and hunting and looking at lists, but it's doing the things in office that day. Also, every morning huddle, which patients need cleanings. You can fill your schedule so quickly with a great morning huddle and with people coming prepped and prepared. So front office team members take notes. Their clinical team should be giving you a wealth of knowledge. And then as patients are coming in, we are going to be scheduling.   Any treatment that we can get scheduled and any patients due for cleanings, whether we have an opening or not today, it's good hygiene, good practice for us to get those patient schedules in office. It's so much easier to schedule them when they're in office rather than chasing and hunting them. So, number one, when they're coming in and do it through morning huddle. Number two is we need to have a set process where we're calling unscheduled treatment and recare every single day. I'm not joking, every single day. Let's make sure we have good processes. I had an office.   We just worked on it for three months. Everybody, we had a huge list of this. It hadn't been worked in years, and we're like, we're gonna get a process and a system in play. So we listed it all out. We divided the list amongst team members and we went to town. And then every single week we reported how many pay like how many dollars we were able to schedule and how many patients we scheduled. I want to say in three months they scheduled about $500,000 of unscheduled treatment. To me, that is a great use of time in three months. It's an incredible way. Every single week they were doing it. We found out who the best person was at it.   What their verbiage was, but we've got to be calling every single day. So you've got to be able to have it. There's so much out there. Unscheduled treatment, usually, like the practice I was in, and they had a bunch of holes. They're like, here, we have so many holes. I went and ran the unscheduled treatment report. They had $1.7 million worth of unscheduled treatment. And in the last six months, they've added an additional 700,000. Now, could that be duplicated treatment plans? Absolutely. But do I also believe that there's a decent amount of treatment sitting in that schedule?   You better believe it is. So, with that said, I want you to know that these items can be taken care of. You can get them done. They can be great for you. Get that process. I recommend at a minimum. Let's start with five calls a day on unscheduled treatment, unscheduled recare. Let's just have that. It's kind of like brushing our teeth. Okay. We brush morning and night. We call unscheduled treatment. We call unscheduled recare every single day. All the time. That's just part of what we do. It's part of our process. We do confirmation calls. We do unscheduled treatment and recare calls.   We also schedule every single patient that comes in for their treatment. We also schedule every patient due for recare. Another thing that you can do is you can ask when you are scheduling for recare, who else do you have that we can schedule? I cannot tell you how many people we've scheduled from family members. Me and my husband, we don't go to the same dentist. Guess what? We're about to start going to the same dentist. They ask us who we can schedule? We got scheduled together. It's very easy, it's very convenient. Just ask. It's a great way for you to fill those holes. So   You are usually sitting on tons of production opportunities that we already have. We just need to dig in our gold mine and actually be consistent with that. The fastest way to grow is usually already just sitting there. So unscheduled treatment, unscheduled recare. Let's talk about morning huddle. Let's make sure we're making those five hygiene calls a day. Like, I'd love you to do more than that. I'd love you to just fill your schedule and always have it full. But making outbound calls on a consistent basis, minimum five up to Tiffany, you sever team call, 50 calls a day. I'm not joking. So   Know that five is really, really, really low. And make sure it's a call and a text. Don't just go the the easy way and do a text, a phone call and a text. You get double whammy and call at times when people are gonna be around. So I usually like to make calls around eight, noon, or around four. It's usually when people are gonna be the most around that we were maximizing our time. So we can run the unscheduled treatment list. I always run it every single month. Divide the list up amongst every person. If we have an opening in the schedule where we've got downtime, everyone's expected for every 15 minutes of downtime we've got, we are going to be making.   Five calls. You can do it for 30 minutes, but everyone give the script, have everybody do it. It's there. So that's one tip to fill your schedule very easily and keep it full. The next one is gonna be like, let's boost our case acceptance. I kid you not. Like we don't need to go after more patients. A lot of times we just need to improve that case acceptance. So getting really good. I work a lot with offices when we do our consulting on just improving case acceptance. It's one of the fastest, easiest ways to grow a practice is just to get more patients to say yes.   If you're a great clinician and we're diagnosing, we should get patients to say yes. I have an office that I've been working with for several years. And truly, what we do for the bulk of our time is we work on their treatment plans and we just improve it and we improve it. We grow them usually a million to two million every single year, just by working on case acceptance, not pushing more new patients, not doing a lot of systems. It is truly just working on case acceptance. So when we have patients that are like, let me think about it.   We're not getting treatment plans scheduled. We also have low treatment plans. So it's a closing cases, but also diagnosing enough that's going to be there. If you want to produce your like the goal should be you're diagnosing at least three times what you want to produce. Then we need to be closing those cases. So what we need to do on this is it's strong handoffs. So I usually recommend NDTR. You've heard me talk about it million times. We'll link those if you haven't heard it. Welcome. It's next visit, date, time, recare.   So we gotta tell every patient what the next visit is, be clear and concise, what the date is to return, how much time, like one week, two weeks, three weeks. Do not say ASAP. I had an office I've been working with for years, like, I tell them ASAP, and I was like, excuse me? No, ASAP is very different for everyone. We're gonna say when you're scheduling my schedule align, or one week, two weeks, non negotiable. How much time is needed for that appointment and also recare. I've also had teams tell me, like, Kiera, we already know.   I know you know, but the patient needs to hear it. It's gonna help you get higher case acceptance. So everybody says that we involve the patient, we don't just talk to each other. The patient's involved in that. So strong handoff, NDTR. Make sure they all have it. Then after that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna have really strong case acceptance and we're gonna track on a treatment tracker. I have an office that does an amazing job with this. They track every single treatment plan. They come through what is it? They have multiple doctors. How is each doctor doing? What's their case acceptance?   How many dollars are we diagnosing? And we review it weekly, if not monthly, across the board. That way, doctors are constantly improving their case acceptance. We're constantly improving our handoff. Hygiene is constantly teeing up treatment. Let's get better and stronger to where we get this high case acceptance. You do that alone. Your diagnosis, your handoffs, and your closes are going to improve. What we track and measure improves. You probably have so much treatment that's not being diagnosed. So hygiene and doctors work on what would doctor do? Let's tee up treatment. Hygiene should be able to.   tee up treatment, 90% exactly what a doctor is going to diagnose. Doctors should be able to come in, give a perfect handoff. We then take that up to the front office. And then front office is really, really strong at being able to schedule first. Then let's talk about objections. Let's work through it to get them scheduled. I love a strong treatment coordinator who just closes like, let me think about it. Let's work through that. What are the reasons? I have an entire thing on root causes and objections and how to work through objections. So if you guys want to know a couple of objections, I love these.   I love to work with treatment planning. and these are just things of what are their objections? So we gotta go into this case acceptance, 80% psychology. Everybody says yes to me. There's always a solution. We're gonna find it together. Assume that they wanna do this. All right. So, like, yes, they want to do dentistry. We present the treatment plan, we edify the doctor, we schedule first. People think I'm crazy to schedule first. Schedule first, it puts it in. We are doing treatment. How you pay for it, that's your decision.   But on this, we're going to make sure that we're scheduling first. And I'm not going to say when do you want to get scheduled? I'm going to say let's get you scheduled. I've got Monday or Wednesday. Which do you prefer? Then after that, we're going to then present the trim plan. So it's going to be $76, it's going to be $7,600. Insurance is estimated for this amount. This will be your total out of pocket when I see you on Wednesday. What questions do you have for me? I want you to be rock solid confident moving forward. Now, fun fact, today I was in an office. there's only one gal up front. The other one wasn't there. And   I got thrown right back into the saddle. I was answering phones, I was scheduling, I was treatment planning. I was like, whew, gotta see if I still got it or if this is just something I podcast about. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to know Kiera Dent still has it. I'm still very good at treatment planning. Closed every single treatment plan I presented today, had all of them signed, it did same-day treatment today in office, doing this exact formula. Went in, presented it exactly like I tell you here. Every single patient signed, even if they have questions or objections, we then tie it back.   Amazing. Let's talk about it. Tell me what's going on. Tell me more. I want to understand. Tie to their driver. Is it cosmetic, function, cost, or longevity? You go past the no two times. Let's look at it. We don't plant like objections that they didn't talk about. Don't talk about money if they don't bring it up. Don't talk about time if they don't bring it up. Don't talk about pain if they don't bring it up. Wait for them to ask those questions. Don't sit there and plant it. If they don't say it, don't bring it up.   if it's a spouse objection, I'm like, what questions do you think they'll have? I want you to be sure you're fully prepared to answer all their questions. At work, absolutely, let's get you scheduled. I, Kiera, would hate to forget about you. So, like, if something comes up, no problem. Just give me a jingle, I'll take care of it. but this way I don't let you slip through the cracks. I would hate to forget about you. They will schedule. Everyone wants to be important. Money, let's talk about it, will never be cheaper, more predictable than it is today. Time, like they should already know that through that perfect handoff. It's gonna take 90 minutes, it's gonna take two hours. Like,   We can figure that out. Pain, like this is what most patients experience. Like, don't make it worse than it is. Don't make it better than it is. Like be honest with them so they trust you. If it's overwhelming, let's make sure we've got a clear next visit. Let's don't give them five options. There's so many ways that you can overcome objections. It's not hard, but you do need to track it. You do need to measure it. We do need to get better at our case acceptance. It is one of the fastest, easiest ways to grow your practice without needing to go and get more new patients.   You just increase your diagnosis and your case acceptance and your handoffs. Having a nice case acceptance protocol where we practice it, we rep it, we repeat it. I love it. I've been able to get about 15 treatment coordinators across multi-offices, really, really strong. Then we go to the next level. So, like people who weren't able to present like $1,000. Now they're presenting $15,000 cases with confidence. What's the next level? What are we struggling with? What are the areas that we're not able to close? Let's work on that. What's the objection you're hearing?   Kiera, people are maxed out on insurance. Okay, let's work through that. What are they saying? Let's role play through it. Let's figure it out. But having treatment coordinators and doctors realize that case acceptance is an art. You need to just keep constantly refining and improving. And if you don't have it in your calendar to work on your case acceptance at least once a month, you're missing a ton of opportunity. That's with your treatment coordinator, your hygienist, and your doctors. Let's work through it. Let's look at all the ones that are going to be like let's look at everybody who didn't say yes this month.   Why didn't they say yes? Let's role play through it. Let's hear what we said. How did we present it? How could we present this better? What like case acceptance is usually won or lost within one word. It's usually one or two words that you said. Like listen to it, record yourself. Listen back to the exams. Share those exams. Share how we presented it. Front office, record yourself. Let's listen to it. You listening to it back is going to teach you so much more than what you think you said. What people think they say versus what they actually say. People are like, Kiera, I didn't say that. And I'm like,   No, actually, I was like standing here and you did say that. Or they're like, I hear all the time. so do you want to get that scheduled today? Why did you just ask that? Let's get you scheduled today. Let's schedule you. Then it's like, well, you know, you want morning or afternoon. Why don't we say, like, doctor dentist does their fillings at 8 a.m. or 3 p.m.? Which works best for you? They're a doctor. I never go to the dermatologist and they're like, Kiera, when does it work best for you to come? No.   They're the dermatologist, they're the oral surgeon, they're this. They tell me when I can schedule. It's not the other way around. Let's start doing that. Let's start helping patients see that they're so lucky to come here. Now that doesn't mean we can't be accommodating, but it does mean that we don't walk ourselves into traps accidentally. So improving your case acceptance, having a solid case acceptance protocol, you focus on that. You're gonna grow your practice faster than anything else. So review it, have it set, review this every single month, non-negotiable, and you will grow.   Then the step three that you can do, it does come into marketing. Okay, okay, okay. but having consistent marketing, not random marketing. So marketing is predictable, so it's not like panicking, like, we don't have patience, let's market. Marketing is one of those things where you've just got to be it's like branding. You're out there constantly. So we're out there and we have getting reviews. Reviews is the fastest, easiest marketing that doesn't cost you a penny. Like you can get 12 or $149, I think is what it is.   Just tell them Dental A Team sent you. I think it's about that. They'll send out reviews for you. Like, sure, that's $149. But if it gets you reviews and patients, very inexpective. The best marketing is Google reviews by far. You can have that in your office. You can have things where people are talking about it. You can talk to patients. You can ask patients for it. Like you have to have a way to be collecting reviews. It's the fastest, easiest way to grow. Be involved in your community, have referral system where people they refer patients to your practice and it's a consistent referral. And then track your marketing performance.   Do that. What I find is most people do not stay consistent on that. Everything I told you comes from consistency. It's consistency on scheduling. It's consistency on morning huddle. It's consistency on calling on scheduled treatment. Then it's gonna be on case acceptance, reviewing it, diagnosing handoffs, like just practicing that and then having consistent marketing where we look at this. You stay consistent on those three things, your practice will grow. Period. It will. But we all get crazy and we're like, we're so busy. We're so busy that we're running ourselves into open schedules.   I also have a rule. My team knows you do not leave the practice with holes in the schedule. Period. That's you have an ownership. If you're over my schedule, you do not leave without that schedule being full. Period. People can do it. And guess what? If that's the standard and expectation, they get really good. Because we all don't want to stay late. But you are calling. You're sending out those outbound calls. Our case acceptance need to be this. Own the case acceptance. Have the doctor schedule to go. That is your baby. You take care of this. We review it. Have people own these areas.   But really own it. This is going to help you tremendously. So growth's not always about just getting more in people. There is so much growth and opportunity in your practice right now. Every single office I go into always has unscheduled treatment. They always have unscheduled recare. Always, always, always. Let's go for it. Let's start asking. Who else can we schedule? There are so many easy ways. Let's diagnose, let's check our case acceptance. Let's watch our marketing numbers. Do this. Be consistent.   You just need to do a better job with the opportunities you already have there. It doesn't have to be crazy. It doesn't have to be hard. It's there. and so I just want you guys to know that it's very doable. Now, if you need help with this or your team's not bought into it, if you're like, my gosh, my schedule's light, or we have this and I hear you on the podcast, but I can't get my team bought in. Reach out. We are the literally the dentist and team experts. We do this for a living. We are really, really, really freaking good at it. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Let's make it to where we have a consistent, predictable schedule. Let's get these systems in place. I worked with an office for three months.   500,000 collected. We worked with another office, millions added to their practice every single year, consistently, just by doing reps with our team. It's not always about reinventing the will. Sometimes it's just being consistent with the will you already have. So let's make like, let's make magic with what we already have. Let's take care of those patients we already have. Let's dig into those. I promise you it's way easier than you think it is. Let's just be consistent and let's pull the right levers that are actually gonna grow your practice with ease.   Reach out. I'd love to help you. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.  

What if the secret to filling your hygiene schedule isn't chasing new patients, it's calling your existing ones? In this episode, Kendall sits down with Greg Brooks, Managing Director at Global Strategic, to talk through how remote staffing is helping practices fix one of their biggest blind spots: hygiene reactivation. Greg breaks down why local teams struggle to keep up with consistent outreach, how a dedicated remote team can turn a 3 to 5% rebooking rate into 45 to 50%, and why that shift ripples into treatment acceptance too. He also gets honest about where offshore staffing goes wrong when practices skip the onboarding and communication piece that makes it actually work.

In part one of this Portals Current Openings event, Threefold Leadership in this Epochal Moment, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis explored the call for each of us to become self-authoring and self-determining. In these tumultuous times of challenge and change, the truest solidity we can rely on is the one we build from within. In part two, Aviv and David turn to the awareness that our energetic hygiene — the inner ecology of our being — plays a vital role in sustaining balance and agility in any situation, while supporting our greater intentions. The understanding that each of us is an ecology opens an important inquiry: are we conscious of what we allow to live and thrive within our inner environment? Violent video games, horror movies, and harsh music, even if we enjoy them, can seed and sustain dissonant energies within us. If we dwell on painful memories or replay interactions that made us angry, we muddy our inner waters. It's like a dark cloud crossing a clear sky; we feel the shift immediately, and it can take hours or even days to clear the state we've created. The point is not to suppress or deny such influences, but to cultivate awareness and discernment — to set standards, to regulate and manage our exposure, and to create a safe and luminous inner environment that supports what we seek to accomplish. Energetic hygiene means developing personal tools and processes for realigning and rebalancing ourselves whenever something knocks us off course. Five key dimensions of energetic hygiene: Standards – what you do not go below Process – how you cleanse and renew Alignment – what you attune to and nurture Ecology – what resides within you Service – what finds life through you This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel.   TWEETABLE QUOTES   “It's a conundrum, isn't it? It's a paradox. When you say, I'm going to take full responsibility for who I am, knowing that I don't know who I am. So, therefore, I'm taking responsibility to be the place, the ecology inside of which I am emerging anew. That's a very different kind of sense, and orientation, and inner cosmology than, oh, I can take responsibility because I know. It has a much more participative sense with the process of the emergence of life. I join the process of life.” (Aviv) “So what would be a level of energetic hygiene that's very practical? Trust the universe, but lock the door. How many of you have got locks on your doors? Probably all of you. Would you believe that's to do with energetic hygiene? Yes, it is because you want to monitor, not who is coming into your space, but what is coming into your space with the who that's carrying the what. So we don't think, who is that person, but what is that person processing? It's a different way of viewing.” (David)   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Portals of Perception Website Aviv's LinkedIn  Aviv's Twitter Aviv's Website Energetic Hygiene – The 5 Dimensions, Part 2

Er hat fast alles überlebt: den Millionenkauf der Villa, das Masken-Desaster, Lockdown, Schulschließungen und den Mega-Testcenter-Betrug. Jens Spahn war nicht wegzukriegen. Die politische Hygiene der CDU reichte nicht aus, um einen der größten Pandemie-Versager Deutschlands kaltzustellen.Doch dann der politische Selbstmord: Der Kauf eines Babys, der Kauf einer Gebärmutter, der Kauf eines Frauenkörpers! Das war zu viel. Jens Spahn gibt sein Amt als Fraktionsvorsitzender ab.Marcel und Benjamin verfahren heute getreu nach dem Motto: „Mein liebster Feind“. Jahrelang haben wir zu ihm gearbeitet, seine Verfehlungen aufgedeckt und dokumentiert. Doch Genugtuung stellt sich nicht ein, sondern Fassungslosigkeit über unsere politische Kaste.

An experimental treatment to “reset” the immune systems of people with autoimmune disease is showing transformative results in early trials. James visits the NIHR Clinical Research Facility in Manchester to meet Kathy. She was diagnosed with lupus just after the birth of her baby and in 2024 became the first person in the UK to try CAR-T therapy as part of a clinical trial. How is she feeling now?We'll also hear from Kathy's rheumatologist Professor Ben Parker, who led the trial Kathy took part in and explains how the therapy works, the astonishing early results - and whether the effects on the immune system are long lasting.Also this week, James visits the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to meet some lab-grown British mosquitoes and find out whether they're out to get us for longer periods of the year and how worried we should be about the threat of disease, with medical entomologist Dr Mojca Kristan and virologist Professor Roger Hewson. And we look at the latest online trend of “spermmaxxing” with urologist Professor Vaibhav Modgil. Why are men trying to optimise their sperm by dipping their testicles in iced water and abstaining from porn - and is there any evidence for these tactics?Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Gerry Holt Editor: Ilan Goodman Production coordinator: Stu Laws Sound engineer: Mary Stone

Mehdi and Wajahat Ali have been friends for almost two decades. And just like with any good friend, there's a lot the two don't agree on, from who they think the best Bond actor is to whether there are alliances the left can make with the far-right on Israel. But one thing they do stand together on is just how vital immigrants are to America.  In fact, it's the premise of Waj's memoir, Go Back to Where You Came From, which he calls both a "love letter to a country that doesn't love us back" and a "warning to a country about what happens when you go against the immigrants." Waj discusses his experience growing up as the child of Pakistani immigrants and Mehdi chimes in with his experience being an immigrant to the U.S. They also talk about America at 250 and the dueling 4th of July speeches between Zohran Mamdani (very good!) and Donald Trump (very bad!). "There were MAGA people on the mall who told journalists that it was 'liberals in the weather service' trying to ruin the Trump speech on Saturday night," Mehdi says. "They literally see the storm destroying the sets and they're like, 'We don't believe the liberals in the weather service.'" Waj says. "It's a cult, man." In this intimate and hilarious conversation, the two also discuss: Waj's parents being sent to prison. Donald Trump intervening in the World Cup. Extremism in the U.S. versus the UK. The rise of Islamophobia. And… the Epstein Files. This interview was published several days earlier on Zeteo.com.

Host Ben Plumley welcomes Professor Heidi Larson (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) and Dr. Mark Anderson (Pattern Computer/Strategic News Service) to discuss innovation and equity in global health through the lens of “entropy” as chaos in human and data systems. Larson reflects on vaccine confidence as a window into societal trust in government, science, technology, and information, and announces a new Lancet Commission on rethinking misinformation, health, and human security. Anderson explains pattern-based, hypothesis-free discovery, critiques large language models as probabilistic and untrustworthy for life‑critical medical decisions and emphasizes explainable AI. They explore how rapid technological and social change, emotional determinants of health, and social media contribute to fragmentation, and outline plans to collaborate on macro-level patterns driving trust and misinformation while expanding access to Pattern's discovery tools through international programs. 00:00 Welcome and Theme 01:01 Meet Heidi Larson 03:52 Meet Mark Anderson 05:42 How They Connected 09:48 Defining Entropy 12:18 Why AI Is Untrustworthy 14:53 Heidi on Life Imbalance 19:19 Mark Pattern Thinking 23:05 Pattern Discovery Example 23:41 Gene Pattern Breakthrough 24:39 Least Action Across History 26:21 Rethinking Misinformation Systems 31:53 Macro Patterns vs Specialization 34:22 Explainable AI for Humans 35:43 Vaccine Confidence Signals 42:23 Predictions and Broken Patterns 43:49 Collaboration Plans Ahead 45:49 Global Discovery Program Rollout 48:06 Trust and Communication Wrap 49:33 Closing Credits and Thanks Pattern Computer https://www.patterncomputer.com Strategic News Service https://www.stratnews.com Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

What if the real danger isn't the disaster itself… but how unprepared people are for what comes after? Most preppers spend a lot of time thinking about the event that triggers a collapse—an EMP, economic crisis, cyberattack, civil unrest, natural disaster, or grid failure. But what happens after the initial shock? How bad could things really get? In this episode of the Survival & Basic Badass Podcast, we take an honest look at the realities of a long-term SHTF scenario. From normalcy bias and government overreach to inflation, civil unrest, supply shortages, and the psychological toll of prolonged hardship, we explore why the future may be far more challenging than most people imagine. We discuss: • Normalcy bias and why people ignore warning signs • Lessons from Edward Snowden and mass surveillance • The 2020 riots and what they revealed about public order • Inflation, debt, and the slow erosion of stability • Who you can trust when society is under pressure • Helping others without endangering your family • Hidden caches and protecting critical supplies • Medical preparedness and life-saving necessities • Hygiene, sanitation, and disease prevention • The Gray Man strategy and avoiding attention • Mental health, stress, fear, and survival psychology • Living in a world where critical medications are unavailable • Why mindset is the most important survival tool Preparedness isn't about fear. It's about seeing reality clearly and taking responsibility for your own future before circumstances force the issue. If you've ever wondered what life might actually look like after a major collapse, this episode will challenge your assumptions and help you prepare for the realities most people never consider.

Should I shower first? Is this normal? Why does it smell like that? This week we're going there with zero judgment, answering your real hygiene and sex questions one by one. Nobody taught us how to actually take care of our bodies for sex. Not our parents, not health class, not anyone. And so we've been left to piece it together ourselves, often while carrying a whole lot of shame that doesn't belong to us. That's exactly what this episode is about. We got flooded with questions from our Instagram audience on hygiene and sex, and we're answering all of it, honestly, warmly, and with more poop talk than either of us anticipated. From what to do before and after, to discharge, breath, smells, and the great cleanup debate, we're covering it all.

Dana is talking with dental hygiene student Julianna Page about the realities of returning to school after working in dentistry for over 20 years and what dental hygiene school has been like for her as she nears the end of her last semester. They discuss burnout in accelerated dental hygiene programs, the stress of finding patients, balancing family life, and learning how to ask for support before reaching a breaking point. Julianna also shares how her background in oral surgery and periodontics shaped her passion for patient education, SRP, and public health dental hygiene. If you're a current or future dental hygiene student also navigating the pressure of school, boards, and the transition into clinical practice, know you are not alone, and learn the beauty of finding your outlet in this episode.

One caller. One problem almost every dentist is dealing with. Jesse is a new practice owner in a rural market. One hygienist is out on maternity leave, another is burning out from assisted hygiene, and after calling schools, searching job boards, and exhausting his options, he's asking the question every owner eventually asks: "What do I do now?" Peter and Craig explain why this isn't just bad luck. The hygiene shortage is real, but waiting for the perfect candidate isn't a strategy. They unpack why hygiene is becoming one of the strongest careers in healthcare, why most hiring ads blend into the sea of sameness, and how practices can market themselves to future team members the same way they market to new patients. Along the way, they discuss employee referral bonuses, recruiting videos made by your existing team, why total compensation beats hourly pay, hiring for the practice you want instead of the practice you have, and the difference between hiring great people and actually keeping them.
