Podcasts about mayo clinic school

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Mary Lang; Caroline M. Gearin; Nick R. Winder, SPT Students in the various fields of medicine deal with a variety of stresses. Perhaps one of the biggest stresses is getting accepted into their respective school to begin their training. Once enrolled, they're then provided a large amount of information to be memorized and essentially need to learn a new language. They have pressure to do well on exams and spend countless hours in study or on the wards. Many students deal with financial stresses, often graduating with a tremendous student loan debt. So, what's life like as a student? How do students deal with these stresses?  What's the application procedure like and are there ways to increase the chances of getting accepted? Do our schools devote enough time to our students' wellness and burn-out prevention? These are some of the questions we'll cover in this podcast as we discuss “Life as a Student”. My three guests are all students in a variety of medical training programs. Mary Lang is a 2nd year medical student at the Mayo Alix School of Medicine after obtaining a degree in biomedical engineering. Caroline Gearin is a 2nd year physician assistant student at the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences and also has a bachelor's degree in health science. Nick Winder is a 2nd year physical therapy student at the Mayo Clinic physical therapy doctoral program.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Mark A. Frye, M.D. We have a variety of antidepressant medications available to us including SSRI's, SNRI's and others, and for the most part they're very well tolerated by our patients. They are much better tolerated compared to some of our older options such as the tricyclic antidepressants and MAO inhibitors. These older products often produced cardiovascular and anticholinergic adverse effects, not commonly seen with our newer medications.  However, our newer antidepressants do have a relatively common adverse effect. They tend to produce weight changes, usually a weight increase. Which antidepressants tend to produce the most weight gain? How much weight does the typical patient gain from these medications? Is the weight gained typically maintained or lost when the medication is stopped? In this podcast, I'll be discussing these questions and more with Mark A. Frye, M.D., a psychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic.

BUFFALO, NY- January 10, 2024 – A new #editorial paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on December 22, 2023, entitled, “One more step toward treatment of PARP inhibitor-resistant ovarian cancers.” Over 80% of ovarian cancer cases experience recurrence, resulting in roughly 12,000 annual deaths in the United States. While targeted therapies like poly (ADPribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have received FDA approval for both initial and recurrent treatments, extending median progression-free survival for individuals with homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiency, the emergence of PARPi resistance remains a common challenge among patients. Consequently, addressing resistance to PARPi treatment in ovarian cancer has become a pressing therapeutic dilemma, necessitating innovative strategies. In this editorial, researchers Upasana Ray, Prabhu Thirusangu and Viji Shridhar from Mayo Clinic School of Medicine and Science responded to this unmet need with their current study, which unveiled promising findings related to the Pixatimod (PG545) drug, a sulfated small molecule compound. Engineered with a core structure mimicking heparan sulfate, this compound targets heparanase and heparin binding growth factor (HB-GF) signaling. “Our present study has revealed a previously unknown effect of PG545 in ovarian cancer cells, inducing DNA damage. The investigation unveiled that PG545 induces both single- and double-strand breaks in DNA while also promoting the autophagic degradation of RAD51, a critical DNA repair protein, thereby impeding the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway in cancer cells.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28545 Correspondence to - Viji Shridhar - Shridhar.Vijayalakshmi@mayo.edu Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28545 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, ovarian cancer, PARP inhibitors, PG545, DNA damage, cell death About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

When Nicole's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Nicole was of course most worried about her mother's life. Only later did she realize the financial fallout: insurmountable medical debt.When care comes too late. Many people struggling with money and healthcare coverage put off receiving earlier treatment or preventive care. Nicole's father didn't receive crucial treatment until the last possible moment in his diabetes, and he needed to be on dialysis. What would her parent's lives have looked like if he had access to treatment years before?The tricky nature of caretaking for your caretakers. It's a struggle to try to help parents, especially when parents want to protect their children from their hardships. Dr. Ernst says that it can be hard to ask for help if your identity is “the caretaker” or “the parent.” When we come up against a crisis, we want to reassure ourselves that we are who we have always been, but crisis changes us and our roles.Can't get enough?Purchase “A Living Remedy.”From Bookshop.org.From Amazon.From Barnes & Noble.Want to read more on the topic?

Kidney failure is sometimes called a silent killer, since symptoms aren't noticeable until they're life threatening. About one in seven people have chronic kidney disease, or about 15 percent of Americans, and many of them don't know it.Treatments for kidney failure have improved — drugs, dialysis and kidney transplants are more successful than they used to be. But more than half of people who start dialysis still die within five years.MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a doctor about the need for prevention and early treatment, and a Minnesotan who lived through four kidney transplants.Guests Dr. Naim Issa is a nephrologist who treats people with kidney disease and kidney transplants at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

HRRP stands for Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, by the way. I wanted to encore this episode with Dr. Rishi Wadhera because it's a great representation of a common root cause reason why quality metrics sometimes don't end well in real life. This root cause is otherwise known as Goodhart's Law, and we dig into Goodhart's law later on in this healthcare podcast. But the actual and ultimate impact of HRRP is also a pretty good representation of the consequences, what happens, when you create a blunt-force policy that assumes hospitals with very different circumstances are the same. Before we kick in to the episode, I asked Dr. Wadhera, my guest today as aforementioned, if there'd been any updates regarding HRRP since this show originally aired last year; and he told me that two key pieces have come out this past month in JAMA journals calling out CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to move on from/retire this policy: A Decade of Observing the Hospital Readmission Reductions Program—Time to Retire an Ineffective Policy Readmission Reduction as a Hospital Quality Measure: Time to Move on to More Pressing Concerns? Thanks so much to Dr. Steve Schutzer and also BoneDoc66 for your really nice reviews this past month. So appreciated … thank you so much! And here is your encore. Today's guest is Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPP. Dr. Wadhera authored a retrospective analysis in the BMJ about the HRRP, which we will talk about in this healthcare podcast. Dr. Wadhera is a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He also has a master's in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and also a master's in public health from the University of Cambridge. But here's the larger epiphany that pertains to all value-based care and all quality metrics which Dr. Wadhera brings up in this healthcare podcast and which my nerd heart could not love more: Goodhart's Law. This law is the root of so very many problems. Goodhart's Law is this (which I learned from Dr. Wadhera): “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” In other words, when we set a goal, people will try to take a shortcut to the goal, regardless of the consequences. And sometimes the consequences, paradoxically, are to do worse at the goal. Maybe because bean counters and admins and maybe even goal-oriented clinicians themselves will go right to the end goal, inadvertently skipping a whole bunch of (it turns out) rate-critical steps. For example, teaching to the test may not lead to students who deeply understand a subject. And anyone trying to achieve value-based care success, improve quality, form collaborations, or make sales might want to remember that old proverb, “Sometimes the shortest way home is the long way around.”   You can learn more at Dr. Wadhera's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site.   Rishi K. Wadhera, MD, MPP, MPhil, is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and the associate program director of the cardiovascular medicine fellowship at BIDMC. He is also health policy and equity researcher at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology. Dr. Wadhera received his MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine as well as an MPhil in public health as a Gates Cambridge Scholar from the University of Cambridge. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiovascular medicine fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. During this time, he also received a master's in public policy (MPP) at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, with a focus on health policy. Dr. Wadhera's research spans questions related to healthcare access, quality, and disparities, as well as understanding how local, state, and national policy initiatives impact care delivery, health equity, and outcomes. Dr. Wadhera has published more than 80 articles to date, and he receives research support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)   03:30 What was the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program intended to do? 05:22 Why did the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) think some readmissions were preventable? 06:02 “The spirit of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was to incentivize hospitals to improve … discharge planning, transitions of care, and post-discharge follow-up and care.” 06:58 How has research in the last few years changed the thoughts on the effectiveness of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program? 08:16 “The 30-day readmission measure—it's an incomplete measure.” 11:48 “I think patients … are smart, and they know what's going on.” 13:34 “What's happening is, we're just increasing the number of times they need to come back to the ER within that 30-day period.” 13:55 “The weird thing about the HRRP is that when it evaluates hospitals' 30-day readmission rates, it's a yes-no phenomenon.” 15:03 “What CMS does is, it risk adjusts … and that is what we should be doing.” 18:30 “This program has been incredibly regressive.” 19:04 “Poverty, neighborhood disadvantage, housing instability—these factors are out of hospitals' control.” 21:50 “Blunt policies like this that are rolled out nationally probably elicit mixed behavioral responses.” 22:06 “It just makes no sense to take resources away from hospitals.” 22:32 EP295 with Rebecca Etz, PhD. 23:47 What's the way to improve quality of care globally? 25:37 “CMS's approach to improving quality of care has really anchored … [that] to payment.” 26:08 “It's time for us to rethink what our approach to quality improvement should be.” 29:22 “Policy makers have an obligation to rigorously test the impact of these types of policies before they roll them out nationally.” 31:41 Can you scale healthcare nationally?   You can learn more at Dr. Wadhera's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site.   @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission What was the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program intended to do? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission Why did CMS think some readmissions were preventable? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “The spirit of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program was to incentivize hospitals to improve … discharge planning, transitions of care, and post-discharge follow-up and care.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission How has research in the last few years changed the thoughts on the effectiveness of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “The 30-day readmission measure—it's an incomplete measure.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “What CMS does is, it risk adjusts … and that is what we should be doing.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “Blunt policies like this that are rolled out nationally probably elicit mixed behavioral responses.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “It just makes no sense to take resources away from hospitals.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission What's the way to improve quality of care globally? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission “It's time for us to rethink what our approach to quality improvement should be.” @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission Can you scale healthcare nationally? @rkwadhera of @BIDMChealth discusses #HRRP on our #healthcarepodcast. #healthcare #podcast #digitalhealth #vbc #hospitalreadmission   Recent past interviews: Click a guest's name for their latest RHV episode!

“It's the simple things done consistently that promote long-term health.” - Dr. Dom Fraboni How is mindset connected to chronic pain? Most people describe pain as scary, yet Dr. Jen Esquer and Dr. Dom Fraboni say it's an incredible cue our body is sending to say we need to shift in the way we're doing something. In today's episode, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom – both physical therapists – explain why many people aren't getting down to the root causes of their pain and why many treatments are only passive to the body. They unpack some chronic pain myths and provide tips listeners can start doing that more actively (vs. passively) help the body correct itself and reverse the pain. They also share why learning “what to say to the body” is such an important tool and why encouraging fear around movement isn't the right path toward healing.

It also is the primary contributor to stroke and the second strongest factor for kidney failure, as well as diabetes.” “We don't need to spend another dime on research to understand how to best treat high blood pressure. And yet, this condition, which kind of flies under the radar from doctors and from patients, accounts for 1,100 deaths a day in the United States. 1,100 preventable deaths a day.” “People that are over the age of 74, 85% of them have high blood pressure.” “In my estimation, about 75% of blood pressure can be treated and even  mostly cured without medications.” “I've come to have an amazing amount of respect for how impactful stress is for a lot of people and for many it is the primary driver of their blood pressure, of their heart disease, of their weight issues. They can't get where they need to go until they figure out how to manage stress better.” “Afib is an epidemic now in the country. It's the number one heart rhythm problem cardiologists deal with. Any cardiologist that works in a hospital will tell you that they are overrun by people with Afib.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Call in to the podcast and have your comment or question answered on air: (801) 871-5291Connect with Dr. Hurst:Website

And even more shocking, 78% of teenagers had at least one sign of cardiometabolic disease.” “People don't resist change, they resist being changed.” “If your strategy as a doctor is to say ‘You need to exercise, lose weight, eat better, and quit smoking and I'll see you in 3 months,' we can't be surprised that in 3 months, our patients haven't changed.”“If somebody is not losing the weight that they want to lose, they're eating well, they're being active, and they're still not losing that weight, I almost universally will say it's one of three things. 1. They're not sleeping well. 2. Their stress levels are through the roof and they're not managing that well. 3. Insulin resistance. They're not handling glucose well.” “One benefit leads to another benefit. You start exercising so then you sleep better which makes your stress levels better.” Connect with Dr. Hurst:Website

Ally Lopes is a 24-year-old National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and kindergarten teacher from the New Jersey Lyme belt. Ms. Lopes' Lyme disease journey began with severe vertigo and flu-like symptoms the day before she flew to Walt Disney World for her high school senior class trip. She was initially diagnosed with a stomach virus and a sinus infection. During the following 2 years, her symptoms progressed forcing her to seek treatment from so many doctors she finally lost count. She was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease using a Western Blot blood test by the doctor that diagnosed her mother with Lyme disease one year earlier. Ms. Lopes treated with her mother's practitioner for 1 year and then decided to take responsibility for building her own treatment team. Blazing her own trail introduced her to eastern and western treatment tools and practitioners resulting in Ms. Lopes making sufficient health gains to allow her to complete her undergraduate degree in elementary education. Inspired by her health journey and a desire to assist others overcome chronic Lyme disease, Ms. Lopes studied Wellness Coaching at the prestigious Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development. If you would like to learn more about how Lyme disease inspired an elementary school teacher to diversify her professional skills to bring her lessons from her personal journey to other people battling Lyme disease, then tune in now!

Guest: Christina A. Dilaveri, M.D. (@CDilaveri) Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)   Breast cancer is very treatable when detected early. Therefore, early detection becomes very important as it significantly reduces a patient's risk of developing metastases and death. Breast imaging plays an extremely important role in the detection of early breast cancer, and we now have several modalities of breast imaging available, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Our guest for this podcast is Christina Dilaveri, M.D. a breast disease specialist, from Mayo Clinic's Rochester Campus. We'll discuss mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and molecular breast imaging, when they're indicated, and the advantages of each. You'll hear which patients should have more than a mammogram and how often it should be performed. Specific topics discussed: The various types of mammography available Indications for breast ultrasound Benefits of breast MRI When breast MRI should be performed Benefits of molecular breast imaging When molecular breast imaging should be performed Connect with the Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.

Guest: David G. Lott, M.D. Host: Amit K. Ghosh, M.D. (@AmitGhosh006) About 60,000 Americans have had their vocal cords removed due to disease or trauma necessitating a laryngectomy. Post-laryngectomy, patients are unable to speak, are at risk for aspiration, and many suffer from significant anguish resulting in depression. Fortunately, there are several treatment options available, the first being laryngeal transplant. While laryngeal transplantation allows patients to smell, taste, swallow, and communicate, it has drawbacks. Currently only a small number of larynx transplants are done in the U.S., and only a select few patients with laryngectomy qualify for larynx transplant. In this episode, Dr. David Lott, division chair of laryngology at Mayo Clinic's Arizona campus, discusses the role of regenerative medicine, which has shown promise in using 3D printing and a patient's stem cells in creating a larynx.

Despite some biosimilars, including those for filgrastim, trastuzumab, and bevacizumab, achieving a greater US market share than their originators, other biosimilar categories, such as pegfilgrastim and infliximab, are still trailing behind. Some biosimilar companies are becoming more savvy, developing new ways to make a bigger statement in the market. We sat down with Kirollos Hanna, PharmD, the manager of Oncology Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, an associate editor for the Journal of the Advanced Practitioner in Oncology, and an assistant professor at the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, to discuss what tactics biosimilar companies are using to better compete alongside originator manufacturers.

Here's the context, friends: As you may have noticed over the past few episodes, we have been digging into value-based care here at Relentless Health Value corporate work-from-home headquarters. Many lessons have been learned, and it's important that we sit back and think hard every now and then about how we are going to use these learnings to improve. While this show tackles the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP)—and wow, I was glued to my seat during this interview—the show is really about more than that, which I'll get into in 30 seconds. But let's start here: HRRP was originally part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. In 2012, HRRP began imposing penalties on hospitals with higher-than-expected 30-day readmission rates for three conditions: heart failure, myocardial infarction, and pneumonia. Spoiler alert: More recently, CABG, THA/TKA, and COPD were added to the list. So basically, if a patient is in the hospital for any of these six things and then is readmitted to the hospital for any reason within 30 days, penalties can happen. Today's guest is Rishi Wadhera, MD, MPP. Dr. Wadhera authored a retrospective analysis in the BMJ about the HRRP, which we will talk about in this health care podcast. His findings are fascinating and relevant on a number of levels.  Dr. Wadhera is a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He also has a master's in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and also a master's in public health from the University of Cambridge. Dr. Wadhera works on policy at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology.  But here's the larger epiphany that pertains to all value-based care and all quality metrics which Dr. Wadhera brings up in this health care podcast and which my nerd heart could not love more: Goodhart's Law. This law is the root of so very many problems. Goodhart's Law is this (which I learned from Dr. Wadhera): “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” In other words, when we set a goal, people will try to take a shortcut to the goal, regardless of the consequences. And sometimes the consequences, paradoxically, are to do worse at the goal. For example, teaching to the test may not actually lead to students who deeply understand a subject. Here's another example, and Rebecca Etz, PhD, talks about this in EP295: If you want PCPs to do an amazing job managing diabetes, for example, the best measures are ones that quantify the doctor's relationship with the patient and the amount of trust between them. The second you start using their panel's average A1C as the performance metric, A1Cs at best don't improve. Why? Bean counters and admins and maybe even goal-oriented clinicians themselves will go right to the end goal, inadvertently skipping a whole bunch of (it turns out) rate-critical steps. It doesn't go well. It's like salespeople who try to close before they build a relationship. Time to goal counterintuitively is slower, and performance is poorer. Anyone building value-based care or quality programs might really want to include Goodhart's Law in their thinking. And anyone trying to achieve value-based care success, improve quality, form collaborations, or make sales might want to remember that old proverb, “Sometimes the shortest way home is the long way around.” You can learn more at Dr. Rishi's Harvard Catalyst profile and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Web site. Rishi K. Wadhera, MD, MPP, MPhil, is an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, a cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), and the associate program director of the cardiovascular medicine fellowship at BIDMC. He is also health policy and equity researcher at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology. Dr. Wadhera received his MD from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine as well as an MPhil in public health as a Gates Cambridge Scholar from the University of Cambridge. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiovascular medicine fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Episode 49: Dementia in Primary Care. Dr Ryan Townley explains what to do when a patient reports “memory problems”, including labs, imaging, and more. Question of the month: Fever and Cough.Introduction: DementiaBy Hector Arreaza, MDToday is April 26, 2021.Dementia is an umbrella term that includes many conditions that have in common a cognitive decline affecting ADLs. It is an acquired condition that presents after the brain is fully developed. As our population ages, the topic of dementia has become more pertinent. Recently we had an introduction about the link between poor sleep and dementia, episode 42. The next two episodes will be about dementia.Today we would like to discuss further this relevant topic. We talked with Dr Ryan Townley, who is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the director of the Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology Fellowship. We will discuss dementia screening, how to evaluate our patients who report “memory problems”, including additional testing and imaging, when to send to a neurologist or neuropsychologist, and some things we can do for prevention of dementia. This episode is not intended to be a comprehensive lecture about dementia, but it may motivate you to keep learning about this topic. I hope you enjoy it.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Connecting with Learners - Learner Centered Approaches (EP:18) With  Dr. Cheryll Albold, Ph.D.  Learner-Centered instructional approaches ask educators to shift their focus from traditional, teacher-centric approaches, where instructors push information at learners, to one that asks learners to actively co-create knowledge and participate in their learning. This transition from "Sage on the Stage" to "Guide on the Side" is not always a simple one and requires that educators connect with their learners.  In this episode, Stacy Craft chats with Dr. Cheryll Albold, an assistant professor of medical education in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science and Administrator and Designated Institutional Administrator for the Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, about why connecting with learners is so important, principles and foundations for learner-centered approaches, and pedagogically-sound practices and simple design recommendations to help you start incorporating more learner-centered strategies in your education Questions?

So I wanted to have a discussion on this journey, I'm going to call you Dom now. Let's make it casual with Dom, so, first of all, thank you so much for coming on. Domenic Fraboni (00:37): Thanks for having me and being interested in what I might have to say. It's been kind of a journey this past six months with a lot of changes for me, especially career-wise, location-wise, and the social media thing. You just want me to dive in a little bit. Jenna Kantor (00:50): Actually first, let's start with why you chose Instagram, because when choosing a social media platform that you're thinking of a specific audience, so would you mind diving into that so people can start picking their brain and thinking, even if Instagram is where their audience is? Domenic Fraboni (01:06): I think my choice in platform had a little less to do with what I was wanting and just have more by chance. You know, I started dating somebody who has a big following and notice some of them started taking a liking in me or an interest in me. And it was at that point that I realized, Hey, Instagram, I've wanted to find a place I can start creating some content, whether it's recording exercises, whether it's just putting out thoughts, thought provoking things for potential clients or potential humans. I'm all about getting access to good information out to the humans so that they can make the decisions for themselves. And we know in this online era and the age of information, I would love to be contributing to what I think can be, you know, more trustworthy information that's online. So I started getting this Instagram following and I'm like, okay, let's do this. Let's put out some content. And I think it worked great for that because a lot of times people go to Instagram for content of that sort. So I'm like, Hey, great marriage. So that's kind of how choosing Instagram as a platform came about more by chance than by my direct choice. Jenna Kantor (02:12): How did you figure out what your content would be on? Domenic Fraboni (02:19): Yeah, that's another great question. I'm kind of in my purpose moving into this career as a professional. I always said I want to empower people to independence in their journey, right? And then kind of my themes that came out of that were movement. I'm a doctor of physical therapy. So clearly movement is huge to me and how I deal with clients and patients. Mindset. Cause I do also understand that in the psychosocial realm of how we treat humans and how we deal with humans, our mindset, our emotions, our mental state has a lot to do with how we feel physically and how we move and meals. So I'm like, Hey, maybe if my content surrounded those three themes, that can be my stick mindset, the movement and the meals. And it had a little, a little bit of a ring with the three M's there. Domenic Fraboni (03:03): So that's where I just started with those three things in mind and trying not to question myself was the biggest thing going in where you asked, Hey, how'd you know what kind of content to put out? I knew I had these people following me and that they might be interested in what I have to say. So my first step was just doing, it was starting to put out content and asking questions. If you ever have a time online where you have people following you and you don't know what they want, ask them. And so I started asking questions. I was very lucky to have people around me who had kind of gone through a transition like this into putting themselves out there. And a lot of what they said is just do it. You know what you're good at, you know what you're passionate about. These people have started following you for a reason, the ones that need to hear it will resonate and the ones that want certain things, we'll let you know when you ask. So I started asking questions to the people that were following me and they also just started putting out content and realizing what it was that people resonated well with. Jenna Kantor: (04:04): And for you, what were your measures that you are using to go, Oh, this is what they want to see from you?   Domenic Fraboni: So I like to say that and a lot of people in social media want to try to separate the success of their posts and their media from the likes and the comments and that stuff. And it can get really kind of cloudy in our head as, Oh, why did this not have as many likes as this? And so really early on when I started doing this, I tried separating myself from likes. Everyone wants a lot of likes on their stuff and it really is not likes on your posts that mean people are engaging with it or connecting with it. The things that I really started to realize is the more direct messages, the more DMs or the more comments that people are connecting with are saying like, Hey, I love this. Domenic Fraboni (04:56): I tried it. It feels this way or I'm glad you shared that. Thanks so much for sharing more about yourself, whatever that means that I'm connecting with them personally in some manner. And so I liked to kind of dive into those ones that got a lot of personal direct messages or comments. And I'm big when it comes to feel and the energy between an interaction with people. So when I got interactions back from people that fueled that same purpose or energy, that was the reason I put that post out. There we go. Like those are my metrics. And I live in more of a subjective world myself because research makes me cringe a little bit sometimes. But it's the field that you can't get away from. So when I had people responding to me that made me feel something, I understood that maybe they took something away from that that made them feel something inside. Domenic Fraboni (05:43): So try to steer away from becoming obsessed with likes or comments and really steer towards and into the things that, you know, people feel something when they read it and will connect with it and reach out because of that. And I feel like I've helped to engage my audience a little more.   Jenna Kantor: I love that. And with all the content that you're doing, how did you figure out how often you're going to be posting?   Domenic Fraboni: Yeah, so like the frequency is huge too because consistency breeds trust, you know, people, although we are putting out this free content and it does take time to put together, you know, people like following, you know, people are content providers that they know are going to be there for them or that they know are going to be there and continue to put that out. So I'd say the first thing was like, okay, I need to be consistent. Domenic Fraboni (06:35): And initially when I was starting this, I had a little more time on my hands and I was, I decided, okay, I can take Sundays off and I'll post six times a week. And then I realized as I started getting more coming onto my schedule that that was a bit tough and so I landed on doing something about three times a week, three to four times a week and making sure I'm very consistent in that, but then also engaging when possible and making sure that those connections that are made aren't just done because I need to make my three posts a week again is all has to come from this intention inside me, so whether it ends up being two times a week or six times a week, I know that it's all still coming from this great energy that I trust and in behind what I'm putting out. Domenic Fraboni (07:18): Again to create those relationships, whether online or whether in person or whether just through DMs or comments. We are creating relationships and connections with these people in some way and so if the post I can put out has a slight influence on that energy that might drive them to be open to different options, then that's what I'm going to put out. I've landed somewhere in that realm of three or four days just based on how much other work I have in my collective sphere right now. But I think that's plenty for me to continue that frequency of engagement to make sure people know that I'm going to show up. Domenic Fraboni (07:54): Do you have to know everything to start something on Instagram? Yes. If you're not an absolute expert, then you no, absolutely not. And I think if you look through Instagram pretty quickly, you'll realize that not everybody is an absolute expert or knows everything in what they're posting. And I hear a lot of PTs or specifically younger PTs who will see other pages and be like, what the heck is this? Like, this isn't how it is or this isn't how you should do that exercise. Or like, wow, they aren't even paying attention to this. And my thing to them is like, we'll record an exercise and put it out or record a video of yourself doing it and say like, this is how I do it. Not to bash or be against that person. I'm very, very much so against calling people out. I put my air quotes over that even though we're on audio, but calling people out or having turf Wars with other people because you don't agree with them. We don't have to agree. We do also just have to understand that there are a lot of people that are open to those other routes. And this isn't for PTs. Jenna Kantor (08:56): This is for people. Domenic Fraboni (08:57): Yeah. So leave your ego at the door, leave your ego away from your phone and put out great content that you know you can stand behind and you won't have to worry about that as much. Jenna Kantor (09:10): I love that so much. What has been the biggest lesson you've learned since really diving into your consistency and all your content on Instagram? Domenic Fraboni (09:19): Yeah. Be authentic and trust yourself. It's really empowering. Well one, when you find that empowerment within you just to say like, I know what I know and I know where that comes from. And when you sit in that space, no matter what you put out or what someone says about it can impact that. And so yeah, I spend time on posts that I put out and they don't go anywhere. Maybe I have a slight bid or a question in my head like what happened there? Why did that not get that following? But I don't emotionally attach myself to any expectation on that. So the biggest challenge is the expectation of yourself or the comparison bug that might come out. Instagram's doing this thing where they're taking away the ability to see likes on a lot of posts now, which I think in a lot of aspects is great cause there are a lot of people in these younger generations that are going through anxieties and depressions because of this technology addiction, which is a whole nother topic. Domenic Fraboni (10:17): And that's the initial reason I never wanted to get into this cause I knew technology draws on these very addictive processes to get people to continue to use and to continue to abuse those processes until literally we are physiologically addicted. And that's why I stayed away from it. And instead knowing that that can happen and the intent from where I'm coming, I know that we can use these processes that may be addictive to get great information out to people and to help them understand and have access to that kind of stuff. So yeah, my biggest challenge, a challenge is going back to your initial question was you know, comparison and seeing what other people are doing, which is why I brought up the likes and like, Oh they got that many likes and they have this many followers and this and that. You know, like you start wanting to do that in your head again, shut those things down right away because you don't know what their purposes are, where the people that follow them are coming from or what they're looking for. And so be authentic and try not to get that comparison bug on your shoulder. Jenna Kantor (11:18): Boom, Shaka Laka I love that. So where can people find you on the Instagram? Domenic Fraboni (11:24): So if you type in doctor, just drDomDPT, it's drDomDPT, you can find me. I put out stuff on movement, mindset and meals. And my goal is to empower you to independence in your journey. Cause everybody could use a little bit of good information to maybe open up what other possibilities could be on your path. Jenna Kantor (11:45): I love that. So thank you for everyone who tuned in to listen to this podcast. You can also get that information on where to find Dom in the bio as well.
