When I think of an easy instrument: The very last thing I think of is a piano, and most of you out there would probably think the same... Except for maybe the Unipiper, but he's not our topic. Instead I have an expert who insists that absolutely everyone can play the ivory keys.   Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.   My guest today is Sonny Stancarone. Sonny has been working alongside great pianists for over half a century now, and he's here to share how the piano is not only easy, but therapeutic; introducing what he calls "Piano Yoga".  We had a lot of audio issues in this interview, and you'll notice some background noise that even Sonny tries to shush, but I've done my very best to eliminate as many intrusions as possible; for your listening pleasure.  Also, there is two more weeks to make your voice heard when you vote for Just Dumb Enough in the People's Choice Podcast Awards.

In this episode, Mark A. Griffin, founder of IHN HR, speaks with Ben Conner, of Conner Insurance. Ben is an experienced benefits consultant and advocate for cost-effective, high-quality healthcare solutions. Together, they explore how Christian organizations can better steward their healthcare spending by leveraging the leadership of their C-suite team. Podcast Overview: In the current economic landscape, healthcare benefits can be one of the largest and most unpredictable costs for organizations. Unfortunately, many leadership teams approach healthcare management passively, leaving critical decisions solely in the hands of third-party vendors. But what if your C-suite could lead the charge toward better care and smarter spending? In this episode, Mark and Ben discuss how Christian employers can honor their people and their mission by being proactive, strategic, and collaborative in managing healthcare costs — all while maintaining a Christ-centered approach to employee care. Meet Our Guest: Ben Conner Ben Conner is a seasoned consultant helping employers across the country design health benefit strategies that prioritize both quality care and financial stewardship. With over 20 years of experience in benefits consulting and a passion for serving faith-based organizations, Ben empowers leadership teams to reclaim control over their healthcare plans through innovative, data-driven strategies. Connect with Ben: Ben Conner LinkedIn Key Discussion Topics: Ensuring Collaboration Between HR & Accounting and Finance Ben explains why aligning HR with accounting and finance is critical. Too often, departments work in silos, leading to missed opportunities for creative solutions. Takeaway: When HR, finance, and senior leadership collaborate intentionally, organizations gain visibility into both the human and financial impacts of healthcare decisions. Prioritizing the Quality of Healthcare vs. Cost Focusing only on cost often results in lower-quality care for employees. Ben shares ways to identify plans that deliver better outcomes, not just cheaper premiums. Takeaway: Organizations must redefine success — not just spending less, but providing better health outcomes at a sustainable cost. Creating Processes to Hold leaders Accountable (Developing Scorecards) Ben introduces the concept of developing leadership scorecards that track healthcare spending, employee satisfaction, and provider performance. Takeaway: Accountability mechanisms like scorecards ensure that the leadership team remains actively engaged, making healthcare benefits a continual area of improvement rather than a once-a-year discussion. Why This Matters for Faith-Driven Organizations As stewards of the resources God has entrusted, Christian leaders are called to approach all areas of business with excellence and integrity — including how they care for employees through healthcare benefits. By involving the C-suite in healthcare leadership, organizations can make decisions that honor both fiscal responsibility and the dignity of their people.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss interoception, the brain's ability to sense and interpret signals from the body, which shapes our sense of self and underlies vital functions like focus, sleep, healing and emotions. I explain how the body communicates different types of information to the brain, influencing processes like digestion, heart rate and immune function. I also describe practical tools such as breathwork to regulate alertness, strategies to support gut health and reduce sugar cravings, and awareness practices to enhance interoception. By understanding and applying these tools, you can strengthen the brain-body connection to improve mood, overall health and performance. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Dr. Brooke Salzman discusses Antiracist Approaches to Clinical Care, which she wrote as part of the free Antiracism Module funded by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. She talks about how to recognize and focus on biases; admitting and addressing our own biases, which is a critical step in becoming antiracist; the importance of diversifying the healthcare workforce by including representation, which is an effective way to improve access to care and reduce disparities; interprofessional teamwork; competencies to foster mutual respect; responding to racist patients; the necessity for organizations to have clear policies that protect staff, among other topics.    

We can imagine our health as a jigsaw, with each individual piece representing a different aspect of our medical history. These pieces might include blood test results, X-ray images or the notes taken by a doctor as we describe our symptoms. These jigsaw pieces are ultimately recorded and stored in electronic health records (or EHRs). EHRs are a valuable resource, providing an overview of someone's health and they could have the potential to allow clinicians and researchers to unlock new medical insights. However, there's a fly in the ointment - not all the pieces in such records always fit together correctly, and they may not completely capture the required information. Some clinical event documentation may not be complete, others do not align with related pieces, and some events are even missing entirely. This data quality problem was tackled by Dr. Hanieh Razzaghi of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and her colleagues, in their innovative work on the PRESERVE study, a research project exploring chronic kidney disease in children (the PRESERVE study itself was led by Drs. Michelle Denburg and Christopher Forrest). Using EHRs from 15 different hospitals across the United States, the team aimed to understand how various treatments could potentially slow down chronic kidney disease progression. However, initially, they had to make sure that the data they were relying on were accurate, reliable, and suitable for the required complex analyses.

The session emphasizes health as the foundation for ending generational dysfunction, highlighting mindset shifts (e.g., epigenetics, bodily perfection affirmations), actionable steps (diet, sleep, community), and the role of being a 'transitional character' to positively impact future generations.  In this episode you'll hear:  Health is foundational to ending generational dysfunction and requires proactive care. Mindset shifts (e.g., affirming bodily perfection, epigenetics) can influence physical health, supported by examples like meditation curing ailments. Professional guidance (e.g., Dr. Robert Todd Hurst) and actionable steps (diet, sleep, community) are critical for health improvement. Cortney McDermott, a returning guest and a beloved voice on the show, is an international speaker and TED Talk presenter, Cortney is also a bestselling author.

This educational program is made possible by an unrestricted grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals.Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease that results in immunologic attacks that can be life-threatening. HAE is the result of reduced levels of C1-inhibitor, a protein involved in various physiological processes in plasma, most notably with the complement system. C1-inhibitor also binds and inhibits plasma kallikrein and factor XIa, thereby affecting bradykinin production. It is believed that the disruptions of these processes lead to fluid leaking from the blood to connective tissue which leads to HAE attacks. It is these HAE attacks that tend to put persons in the emergency department or unable to attend work or school.Numerous therapies are now available for patients with HAE to both treat acute attacks and prevent attacks via prophylactic treatment.With so many treatment options now available, is it disheartening to learn that not all patients with HAE are receiving equal care or access to care. Patients with HAE living in rural areas as patients from underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds are not provided the same level of care as patients, especially Caucasian patients,  living in more affluent areas. This panel discussion by three clinical research leaders in HAE, Drs. Aleena Banerji, Timothy Craig, and Marc Riedl, provide an overview of the discrepancies in care observed in certain patient populations, as well as a discussion on best practices to reduce those inequalities moving forward.To view this program in video format, go to https://checkrare.com/improving-health-equity-in-hereditary-angioedema-hae-a-panel-discussion/

The CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, Bob Roth, shares his insights on the role of Transcendental Meditation (TM) in tackling chronic stress and improving health outcomes. Filmmaker David Lynch and Bob Roth co-founded the foundation in 2005.  Roth highlights the devastating impact of toxic stress, which has evolved into a global crisis. Chronic stress, he explains, is distinct from everyday pressures and challenges; it overwhelms the nervous system, triggering a persistent "fight or flight" response that depletes physical and mental health. This ancient, evidence-based meditation technique is simple, natural, and effortless — accessible to anyone from schoolchildren to corporate executives. Roth notes that through regular practice, individuals experience profound relaxation that can reduce cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and alleviate anxiety and depression.  We explore a range of angles, from TM's impact on stress levels and health to reducing healthcare costs and helping corporates improve their bottom line. Roth highlights that stress-related conditions are the leading cause of death for firefighters, police officers, and healthcare professionals—populations who are now benefitting from TM programs delivered by the foundation. Roth underscores the importance of integrating TM into mainstream healthcare systems, which he argues can transform public health outcomes at scale. He notes that TM's accessibility — it requires no belief system, takes just 20 minutes twice a day, and delivers immediate benefits — has contributed to its widespread adoption. The foundation's global footprint now spans 35 countries and TM is endorsed by figures like Ray Dalio, Hugh Jackman, and Jerry Seinfeld, who actively support the foundation's mission.  Thank you for downloading this episode of the Do One Better Podcast.

Many people struggle to make time for self-care due to busy lifestyles, but it is crucial to consciously make health a priority. The speakers highlight the cultural differences in how midlife transitions like menopause are viewed, and how the US tends to see them more negatively. The key pillars of health discussed include stress management, movement/exercise, balanced nutrition, hydration, and community/social connection. Katy and Dr. Michelle explain how these factors work together to impact hormones, metabolism, and overall wellbeing. Consistency in applying these lifestyle changes is highlighted as critical for long-term success. Katy and Dr. Michelle also acknowledge the challenges of going against cultural norms around diet, exercise, and health priorities in the US. They emphasize the importance of finding a supportive community to help maintain healthy habits, as it can be isolating to make these changes alone.

In this episode of High Impact Growth hosts Amie Vaccaro and Jonathan Jackson, dive into one of Dimagi's most ambitious and potentially transformative projects to date, CommCare Connect. This platform is designed to improve the jobs of community health workers (CHWs) by equipping them with digital tools to learn new skills, deliver health services, verify their work, and, crucially, get paid for additional work. By doing so, CommCare Connect seeks to address some of the biggest challenges in the global health space, such as the underpayment and disempowerment of CHWs and funding wasted on digital tools that don't survive the project's end, while driving better health outcomes globally. Throughout the conversation, Dimagi team members Mercy Simiyu, Sarvesh Tewari, and Dhivya Sivaramakrishnan, share insights from their direct work on CommCare Connect and with locally led organizations and CHWs across various regions, including Kenya and Malawi. They provide an in-depth look at how CommCare Connect has evolved over the past two years and reflect on early success stories, challenges, and lessons learned. During this conversation we unpack the four pillars of CommCare Connect's technology: Learn: CHWs acquire new skills through digital learning modules. Deliver: CHWs are able to provide health services in their communities, equipped with the right job aids. Verify: Their service delivery is digitally verified in real-time.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Robert Lustig, M.D., neuroendocrinologist, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and a bestselling author on nutrition and metabolic health. We address the “calories in- calories out” (CICO) model of metabolism and weight regulation and how specific macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates), fiber and sugar can modify the CICO equation. We cover how different types of sugars, specifically fructose, a sugar found in liquids, taste intensity, and other factors impact insulin levels, liver, kidney, and metabolic health. We also explore how fructose in non-fruit sources can be addictive (acting similarly to drugs of abuse) and how sugar alters brain circuits related to food cravings and satisfaction. We discuss the role of sugar in childhood and adult obesity, gut health and disease and mental health. We also discuss how the food industry uses refined sugars to create pseudo foods and what these do to the brain and body. This episode is replete with actionable information about sugar and metabolism, weight control, brain health and body composition. It ought to be of interest to anyone seeking to understand how specific food choices impact the immediate and long-term health of the brain and body.
