In this episode of Living Well with MS – the podcast where we explore how lifestyle choices and evidence-based approaches can help people live full and healthy lives with multiple sclerosis – we look at the surprising benefits of dance with Tiffany Stott and Emily Davis from Scottish Ballet.   Tiffany leads Scottish Ballet's Dance Health Programmes, and Emily recently completed her PhD on Elevate – a dance programme created specifically for people with MS. What makes Elevate stand out is its inclusivity: whether you're seated, standing, brand new to dance or have years of experience, the classes are adapted so everyone can take part.   Join us as we explore how the arts and science come together to support people with MS, and why dance might be one of the most uplifting ways to live well.  Topics and Timestamps: 01:00 Introduction to Dance for MS  01:57 Scottish Ballet's health programmes  05:47 How the Elevate programme was developed  10:52 The research and evidence for Dance and MS  15:02 What a class looks and feels like  20:49 Emily's PhD findings on Elevate  24:48 Overcoming barriers to participation  27:45 Benefits of dance for MS  30:48 How to get involved with Elevate More info and links: Learn more and join an Elevate Dance for MS class  Read Emily Davis' research on Dance for MS  New to Overcoming MS? Visit our introductory page  Connect with others following Overcoming MS on the Live Well Hub Visit the Overcoming MS website Follow us on social media: Facebook Instagram YouTube Pinterest Don't miss out: Subscribe to this podcast and never miss an episode.

Did you know hidden infections may start from your mouth to your gut? What's happening in your mouth could be the missing link behind your fatigue, hormone changes, or stubborn gut issues.   My Guest: Dr. Michelle Jorgensen is a former traditional dentist turned holistic health pioneer, who helps exhausted, health-conscious people finally feel like themselves again—by starting where health actually begins: your cells. She's the founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle and author of the upcoming book by the same name, which reveals how to decode your symptoms and give your body exactly what it needs to heal, thrive, and stay energized—without the fads, overwhelm, or guesswork. If you're tired of chasing health trends and still not feeling better, this conversation is for you.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:14:12] Why gut health won't improve unless we address imbalances in the oral microbiome? [00:20:28] What are the differences between a traditional dentist and a biological dentist? Why consider making a change? [00:24:13] What might oral symptoms (cavities or jaw pain) reveal about digestion, hormones, or immune system? [00:28:56] What do you recommend to those who don't have access to insurance? [00:29:50] How do biological dentists decide whether to save or pull a tooth? Why could that decision affect your whole-body health? [00:30:57] In Living Well with Dr. Michelle, you introduce the Cell Well Model—how does oral health fit into that model? What happens at the cellular level when we ignore our mouths? [00:33:41] In your book, can you explain how someone's season might influence the way they care for their mouth? How do oral symptoms help reveal someone's season?   The Hidden Link From Your Mouth To Your Gut   Traditional Dentist vs. Biological Dentist Traditional dentistry focuses on fixing teeth mechanically: drilling, filling, and crowns. Biological dentistry looks at the whole body connection — teeth, gums, microbiome, and systemic health. Oral Health as a Mirror of Overall Health Root canals leave dead tissue that fosters bacteria and chronic low-grade infection, linking to autoimmune issues, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Mercury fillings release toxins that affect the brain, hormones, and gut. Mouth–Gut Connection The mouth is the start of the digestive system. Hidden infections in gums, root canals, or extraction sites can disrupt the gut microbiome and overall digestion.   Connect with Dr. Michelle: Website - Living Well with Dr. Michelle Instagram - @livingwellwithdrmichelle Facebook - Living Well with Dr. Michelle TikTok - @livingwellwithdrmichelle Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 3 Steps to Improve Cardio Fitness and Longevity (at any age) Next Episode - Riding Tandem: One Couple, One Mission, One Bike From Mexico to Alaska More Like This - Oral Health Changes with Hormones: Watch Your Mouth!

Doctors often use euphemisms to dance around the 'C' word. But for oncologist Dr Ranjana Srivastava, how you talk to someone with cancer goes beyond "shadows, lumps and lesions". It's all about compassion and clarity, even when honesty is difficult.Ranjana Srivastava was a young doctor in regional Australia, accompanying her consultant on his late night rounds when she heard a patient say something that stopped Ranjana in her tracks.It was in that moment that she finally knew what her speciality was going to be: oncology. Ranjana now works in Melbourne as an oncologist and an author.She often writes about the need for clarity and compassion in doctor-patient conversations, to deliver good news, bad news and everything that falls between.Ranjana had her own experience of being at the receiving end of devastating news when she was pregnant with twins.Ranjana has carried the lesson she received from her own doctor forward, into her work as an oncologist, where bearing witness to the attitudes of her patients has changed the way she sees the world and has helped put her own life in perspective.Further informationRanjana's latest book, Every Word Matters, is published by Simon & Schuster.She has published seven books about cancer and end of life care, including A Better Death, Tell Me the Truth, Dying for a Chat, So It's Cancer: Now What, and After Cancer: A Guide to Living Well.Ranjana also writes a regular column for The Guardian.In 2017, Ranjana was awarded an Order of Australia medal for her work as an oncologist and in improving doctor-patient communication.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Psychosis is often treated as a mystery, something clinicians avoid or feel unprepared to address. In this Masters in Practice episode, Dr. Aaron Brinen shares how his book Living Well with Psychosis makes this complex topic approachable for individuals, families, and therapists alike.

Whether you're a clinician looking for practical tools, a family member supporting a loved one, or simply curious about mental health treatment, this conversation challenges myths, sparks new ways of thinking, and highlights the power of hope in the face of psychosis.Aaron's New Book: https://a.co/d/2fHGJqY Aaron's recommendation: https://www.youtube.com/@SchizandGigglesTo hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched” #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast

To look up the definition of art through an academic lens is to discover there is no one agreed upon definition of art, and to my eye that is what makes it all the more beautiful to cultivate in the way we live each of our lives if we are to heed the above quote's encouragement of action. Earlier this week, a new series began here on TSLL that will explore and share Who TSLL is Written For? And What Lies at the Heart of Living Simply Luxuriously. Part Une: We discussed what it means to be a 'Thinking Person' in the context of living simply luxuriously and how thinking works as a unit with being compassionate, something we will talk about in-depth in episode #410. The foundational premise is yep, we all have thoughts, that is part of being human, but it is in choosing to learn how to use our thoughts that will determine the quality of our life. At the core of living a life that brings fulfillment, peace, and allows us to experience contentment throughout every day of our life is an original recipe for living, and for the purposes of looking at art as a way of living, that is one value of 'art' that is non-negotiable. Each of our lives will be unique, comprised of chosen details coupled with experiential details that we as the artist have consciously woven together to create a life that is art. If we copy the lifestyle of someone else, if we mimic what 'fall in line' means when it comes to making choices because others have made them before us, we are a print, and something easily replicated, void of depth, created without courage or daring. So, let's get into this episode.  Find the Show Notes at The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast409

This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we examine the implications of Donald Trump's firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the release of weaker-than-expected jobs data. Critics argue the move threatens the credibility of U.S. economic reporting, but are inconsistent readings just a byproduct of the antiquated ways they collect their data and dwindling survey response rates? As the cost of living continues to climb, we break down SmartAsset's latest findings on the salary needed to live comfortably in each U.S. state. From Hawaii's sky-high income thresholds to West Virginia's relative affordability, we explore what these findings mean for individuals, families, and long-term financial planning—especially as median wages fall short of what it now takes to get by.After the break, we turn our focus to annuities, providing our take on these investment products. Furthermore, should a retiree put 25% of their assets into an annuity to help with Required Minimum Distributions? We'll walk through the essential questions to ask, from the type of annuity being recommended to how it fits into a comprehensive financial plan.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.Henssler Money Talks — August 9, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 32Timestamps and Chapters4:42: Defensive Sectors, Consumer Sentiment, and Solid Earnings 9:43: Rigged or Reputable?

Dr. Mark Pimentel, Executive Director of the MAST program at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, shares groundbreaking insights into the small intestinal microbiome that challenge long-held beliefs about gut bacteria. Findings from his team's REIMAGINE study reveal that the small intestine is far from sterile, as previously thought—instead, it harbors substantial bacterial communities that play a critical role in health and disease, especially in conditions such as IBS and SIBO.• E. coli and Klebsiella act as aggressive "Ferrari" bacteria that outcompete other microbes and destroy microbial diversity when overgrown inducing a "apocalyptic" disruption of the small bowel microbiome.• Lactobacillus, commonly found in many probiotics, may act as a disruptor in the small intestine and new research correlates higher small intestinal levels with obesity and unhealthy aging (more research needed)• The PLACIDE trial found probiotics didn't reduce C. diff or antibiotic-associated diarrhea but did increase bloating• Food poisoning is the only proven cause-and-effect trigger for IBS, with stress acting as a modifier rather than initiator• Combining rifaximin with NAC works 10x better for SIBO by targeting bacteria in both intestinal fluid and mucus• A new compound (CS06) shows promise for reducing methane production and relieving constipation• Three distinct gas patterns (hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide) correlate with different symptom patterns and respond to targeted treatmentsThis episode was sponsored by Salix Pharmaceuticals. Resources: DDW 2025 Abstracts by the Mast Program and Dr. PimentelA Novel Microbiome Therapy, CS-06 (MTD Blocker), Reduces Methane Production in Stool CultureReal World Study of Three-Gas Breath Testing Nationwide and The Association with SymptomsLearn more about Kate and Dr. Riehl:Website: www.katescarlata.com and www.drriehl.comInstagram: @katescarlata @drriehl and @theguthealthpodcastOrder Kate and Dr. Riehl's book, Mind Your Gut: The Science-Based, Whole-body Guide to Living Well with IBS.

*As featured in the streaming documentary #UNTRUTH—now with a new foreword by George Conway and an afterword by the author*A masterful and eye-opening examination of Trump and the coercive control tactics he uses to build a fanatical devotion in his supporters written by “an authority on breaking away from cults…an argument that…bears consideration as the next election cycle heats up” (Kirkus Reviews). Since the 2016 election, Donald Trump's behavior has become both more disturbing and yet increasingly familiar. He relies on phrases like, “fake news,” “build the wall,” and continues to spread the divisive mentality of us-vs.-them. He lies constantly, has no conscience, never admits when he is wrong, and projects all of his shortcomings on to others. He has become more authoritarian, more outrageous, and yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert and a major Trump supporter, calls him one of the most persuasive people living. His need to squash alternate information and his insistence of constant ego stroking are all characteristics of other famous leaders—cult leaders.In The Cult of Trump, mind control and licensed mental health expert Steven Hassan draws parallels between our current president and people like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Ron Hubbard, and Sun Myung Moon, arguing that this presidency is in many ways like a destructive cult. He specifically details the ways in which people are influenced through an array of social psychology methods and how they become fiercely loyal and obedient. Hassan was a former “Moonie” himself, and he presents a “thoughtful and well-researched analysis of some of the most puzzling aspects of the current presidency, including the remarkable passivity of fellow Republicans [and] the gross pandering of many members of the press” (Thomas G. Gutheil, MD and professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School). The Cult of Trump is an accessible and in-depth analysis of the president, showing that under the right circumstances, even sane, rational, well-adjusted people can be persuaded to believe the most outrageous ideas. “This book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the current political climate” (Judith Stevens-Long, PhD and author of Living Well, Dying Well).https://amzn.to/4kQXbhkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
