Dr. B sits down with Natasha Beck. The mother of four is the face behind Dr. Organic Mommy, a platform created to help every family make healthy decisions for themselves, drawing on her experience as a mom and her expertise in psychology, neuroscience, and public health. She is also a board member of the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to helping you live your healthiest life. When working at LA County + USC Medical Center, Natasha saw firsthand how diet and lifestyle affected children's behavior, exacerbating conditions like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism. As a result, she became keenly focused on her patient's diets and lifestyles and worked to help their families make healthy choices. Her parenting method combines a number of philosophies, including RIE Parenting, the Pikler approach, Waldorf and Montessori education, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy. Listen in as Natasha dives into her best practices around raising children, good oral habits, and improving one's overall health while considering environment and epigenetics. Natasha also talks about the often-overlooked value of teaching your child how to regulate emotions. She encourages parents not to be afraid of tantrums because these are probably the best teachable moments in childhood. In other words: “Making your child happy is not your job. Your job is making your child comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Through utilizing tried-and-true strategies such as modeling, previewing, storytelling, and demonstrating predictability—whether to wean a child off of pacifiers, minimize fear at the dentist, or instill good eating habits—parents will be able to provide an educational foundation for their children that sets them up to make their own decisions as they grow.Key Points::●      Introducing today's topic: How Natasha's academic and clinical background helped her to be a better mom [04:15]●      Making your child comfortable with being uncomfortable [07:21]●      Weaning your child off of pacifiers [09:20]●      Dealing with a nervous child at the dentist [16:58]●      Modeling oral hygiene to your kids before bed [24:03]●      Instilling good eating habits in your kids [31:43]● Make sure you do not shame your child as you educate them on healthy eating [37:48]●      Being purposeful and mindful of your parenting style [43:58] About Natasha:Dr. Organic MommyEnvironmental Working Group (EWG)Follow Natasha Beck on Instagram @dr.organicmommyResources:Click Here to Record a Message for Dr. BFunctional Dentist DirectoryWhat Dr. B RecommendsAsk the DentistAbout Dr. Mark Burhenne FOLLOW DR.

LA County USC Medical Center doctors sound off on the Fake Doctors upcoming mask mandate and the medias overreaction to the current COVID Situation  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few months ago, co-Host Latif Nasser, who was otherwise healthy, saw blood in his poop. It was the start of a medical journey that made him not only question what was going on in his body, but also dig into the secret genetic story of how we became human. Curled up in a hospital bathroom, Latif tries to sort out whether his ordeal is the result of a long-lost sibling knifing him in the gut or, on the contrary, a long-forgotten kindness shared between two human-ish travelers.  Special thanks to Azra Premiji, Avir Mitra, Suzanne Lehrer, David Reich, Sriram Sankararaman, Ainara Sistiaga, Carl Zimmer, Carly Mensch, Latif's GI Doctor Florence Damilola Odufalu and her entire team, and the staff at LA County-USC Medical Center and Keck USC hospitals who looked after Latif during his hospitalization.

Quick Announcement for EHR listeners! For a limited time Matt Blackburn is giving Extreme Health Radio show listeners 25% off his line of products. Just enter code EHR25 at checkout while it lasts! Dr. Stuart Fishbein is our OBGYN and our plan was to have him assist us in our natural home birth of our twins Will and Ben. We went through the entire pregnancy with him. A listener turned us onto him in our first month and we had already gone to see another OBGYN and the difference was night and day. Unfortunately here in California natural birthing centers are not allowed to offer their services if you have twins. So that left us only two options. Have a hospital birth which we didn't want to do or have a home birth with no midwife or doctor. Midwives here in California are required to have a medical doctor be present. So that left us either the hospital or me alone at home with Kate. Then a wonderful listener saved the day by letting us know about Dr. Stu. The first OBGYN we saw was supposedly more "naturally minded" (ya right) but he was egotistical and thought he was God's gift to mankind. When we met Dr. Stu it was a breath of fresh air! To have a medical doctor like him with a team of midwives at home was the best option ever! Here are some of the topics we covered...

Guest Bio Dr. Stuart Fischbein, MD OB/GYN has been in private practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Southern California since 1986. He graduated from the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1982. He has a long history of support for Midwives and the alternative to the medical model of birth they provide. This interest began during his Cedars-Sinai residency where he had extensive training in vaginal breech and twin delivery and was selected as administrative chief resident and awarded house officer of the year. His experience was enhanced while rotating through LA County-USC Medical Center, at that time the busiest obstetric unit in the country, where he had the good fortune to be exposed to the midwifery model of obstetrical care. Early in his private practice career he was approached by several local “Licensed Midwives” to provide back-up support for women choosing alternatives to hospital based birthing. In 1995 he co-founded, The Woman's Place, Inc., an innovative model of collaboration between Certified Nurse Midwives and Obstetricians, in Ventura County. In 2004, he co-authored, Fearless Pregnancy, Wisdom and Reassurance from a Doctor, a Midwife and a Mom, (Fair Winds Press, 2004, 2nd Edition 2010) with long time associate, Joyce Weckl, CNM; and writer, Victoria Clayton. He has three times been awarded Physician of the Year by the Doulas Association of Southern California and in 2008 received their first Lifetime Achievement Award.

LA County experienced more than 10,000 new COVID cases on Sunday. That’s double the number of new cases reported just a week ago. All of Southern California is now under a state-issued stay-at-home order because ICU capacity in the region has shrunk to below 15%. Dr. Brad Spellberg is Chief Medical Officer at the LA County + USC Medical Center. He says, “We have people with families who are putting themselves at risk … taking care of these patients. And then you drive home, or you drive to work, and you see people not taking it seriously. Or you turn on the news and you see people not taking it seriously. It’s very frustrating.” Spellberg says he hopes the new stay-at-home order will make a dent, and the availability of ICU beds is critical. “It is when the ICU becomes completely overwhelmed, that’s when the wheels start falling off the wagon.” As the year ends, he warns, “If people are as lackadaisical about the December holidays as they were about the November one, I’m expecting a very, very rough January.”

We are excited to announce Bonni S. Goldstein, MD as the CannMed 2020's Keynote Presenter in the Medicine Focus Area.

A native of New Jersey, Dr. Goldstein received her undergraduate degree at Rutgers University, and her medical degree at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. She did her internship, residency, and chief residency at Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). Dr. Goldstein was a Clinical Instructor in Pediatrics at USC School of Medicine, Emergency Transport Attending Physician at CHLA, and Emergency Medicine Attending Physician in the Pediatric Emergency Department at LA County - USC Medical Center. Her interest in the science of medicinal cannabis was kindled more than ten years ago after witnessing its beneficial effects in a friend who was seriously ill. Since then, she has been evaluating and treating both adult and pediatric patients for the use of medicinal cannabis. Dr. Goldstein is a sought-after lecturer to many patient support programs, including the Cancer Support Community in Southern California. She has been a featured speaker at CannMed since our first conference at Harvard University in 2016.  She has also presented at the Medical Cannabis for Autism conference at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the International Congress on Clinical Trials in Cannabis in London, as well as many other cannabis conferences. She is currently the Medical Director of Canna-Centers, a Los Angeles-based medical practice devoted to helping patients use cannabis medicine for serious and chronic medical conditions. She is also Medical Advisor to WeedMaps.com, a board member of the International Association of Cannabis as Medicine, and a member of the International Cannabinoid Research Society and the Society of Cannabis Clinicians.  She is the author of Cannabis Revealed and her second book, Cannabis is Medicine, will be published by Little, Brown Spark in September 2020.

We had the privilege of hosting Jorge Orozco, CEO of LA County USC Medical Center who spoke at our first Future Of Work Conference held at Pasadena City College in November of 2019. In this episode we feature his talk that raised the point that it is absolutely crucial for the employees at LAC-USC to have shared life experiences with their clients, which poses the question of how to prepare students for this requirement from an educational stand point. The answer begins with working together.

Torie Sepah, MD, completed her internship in family medicine at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, then went on to complete a psychiatry residency at LA County + USC Medical Center. She has studied physician burnout syndrome extensively. It is a topic that is very personal to her and we discuss why. She defines the syndrome, what the major causes are, what the consequences are and what has actually been proven to help. Among them is connection. Her Facebook group – Physician to Physician: Healing the Practice of Medicine, has become a signal in the noise surrounding burnout, providing us with a community of physicians who understand the hardships of our field and can help.   She has worked extensively in correctional medicine, having served as the chief psychiatrist at the California Institution for Women, being the first female chief psychiatrist at that prison. Since 2018, Dr. Sepah is a community psychiatrist once again, seeing patients with HIV in an integrated clinic and running her own interventional psychiatry clinic, which focuses on deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) as well as reproductive psychiatry, neuropsychiatric disorders, and early diagnoses or schizophrenia.  Dr. Sepah is an assistant clinical professor, department of psychiatry, Keck School of Medicine of USC. Prior to becoming a physician, she was a journalist and assistant editor of Ms. Magazine, writing the health column which prompted her interest in medicine.
