Medication safety questions are some of the highest-yield topics you'll encounter on your NP boards because they test whether you can recognize situations that could seriously harm a patient. In this minisode, Alex reviews three essential medication safety rules every NP student should know, including which blood pressure medications to avoid during pregnancy, a high-risk warfarin drug interaction, and why NSAIDs are contraindicated in heart failure. You'll walk away with practical board pearls that will also help you prescribe more safely in clinical practice. Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/smnpreviewsofficial
Everyone on a GLP-1 is watching the scale; almost no one is watching their bones. Bone loss isn't an inevitable part of aging; it's a reversible signal that something deeper is going wrong, and it starts far earlier than most people are ever warned.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Douglas Lucas, a former Stanford-trained orthopedic surgeon turned bone-health specialist, to discuss:Why bone loss begins around 45 during perimenopause, not 50, and why waiting for your first DEXA scan at 65 is far too late to prevent itThe blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantityBone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real timeWhy the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium aloneWhat rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a dayUnderstanding your bones as a living, changeable organ system means you can catch loss early, measure it honestly, and reverse the trajectory, instead of accepting decline as your fate.Thank you to our sponsors:Head to https://bit.ly/4ftfObn and use code DRLYON for 25% off sitewide.

Is Medication Right for Your OCD? A Psychiatrist Breaks Down SSRIs, Dosing, and What Actually WorksIf you've ever wondered whether medication could help your OCD or anxiety, or you've tried an SSRI and felt like "nothing worked," this episode is for you. Matt Codde, LCSW sits down with Dr. Melissa Quinn, a triple board certified psychiatrist who specializes in OCD treatment, for a full breakdown of how medication actually works, why so many people are underdosed, and how medication and therapy work together rather than against each other.Dr. Quinn walks through SSRIs, clomipramine, augmentation strategies, and common myths (including the cannabis conversation you don't want to miss), while Matt reframes ERP through the Restored Minds lens of emotional integration rather than symptom elimination.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay Clancy, took the stand today in the murder trial of the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation. She has pleaded not guilty and is mounting an insanity defense, with attorney Kevin Reddington arguing she was in the grip of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication at the time of the killings.Patrick walked jurors through a timeline that's supposed to explain how his wife went from new mother to someone psychiatrists were allegedly cycling through medication after medication, adjustment after adjustment, in the weeks before the killings. The detail that's going to stick with people: several of those prescriptions were reportedly taken only a handful of times before being swapped out or discontinued — a system, allegedly, that kept changing the plan faster than anyone could tell if it was working. He also described what he says were the family's attempts to get her real help, for whatever that's worth against what actually happened.Prosecutors are expected to argue Clancy understood the nature of her actions despite the defense's mental-health claims. After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick was out of the home running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial, underway in Plymouth Superior Court, is expected to last several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The day before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, her medication was increased. Nobody has fully explained why that decision was made, or by whom. She'd already been on roughly thirteen different psychiatric drugs across about four months. Her own malpractice lawsuit describes that final dose increase, paired with a night without sleep, in the hours before Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, died in their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She'd checked herself into a psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve after telling her husband she was having thoughts of hurting her children. She was discharged. Nineteen days later, the children were dead. Jury selection began July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court. That same morning, before a single juror was seated, prosecutors moved to challenge her defense experts, the third motion in eleven days aimed at limiting her defense. Prosecutors had already dropped all three strangulation charges on July 9, calling them redundant, a move that erased any middle ground between the two remaining verdicts: life without parole, or not criminally responsible. On July 13, the judge blocked women who've survived postpartum psychosis from testifying about the illness in their own words. That leaves the jury with paper: prescription records, a dosage change, a malpractice complaint describing exactly how the medication was mishandled. Two jurors were seated by lunch. The trial is expected to run four to eight weeks. Patrick Clancy, her husband, is on the defense witness list. He's also suing her healthcare providers and has publicly asked people to forgive her. Thirteen drugs, one increase, one sleepless night, and a question nobody in that courtroom has fully answered yet.

Nursing school gets easier when you have a system.
Lindsay Clancy called crisis lines, went to emergency rooms, checked herself into hospitals, and took thirteen different medications from five different providers over four months. Her defense argues every one of those interventions made her worse instead of better.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, sits down with Tony Brueski to examine the prescribing chain at the center of this case. The medications included benzodiazepines, antidepressants, an antipsychotic, and a sedative. Her husband Patrick told providers she was becoming a different person and begged them to stop. They increased the dose. The civil lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick describes providers who operated independently — no shared records, no coordinated treatment plan, no complete medication reconciliation.She was turned away from a suicide hotline because she had no specific plan. She waited three days in a psychiatric hospital before seeing a doctor. A nurse practitioner reportedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility.Shavaun addresses the question at the center of this segment — whether what happened to Lindsay is a catastrophic failure unique to her case or whether short appointments, revolving prescriptions, and fragmented provider networks are simply what postpartum mental health care looks like in this country. The answer determines whether the system bears responsibility for what happened to those three children.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy had done everything a struggling mother is supposed to do. She sought treatment. She called hotlines. She admitted herself to hospitals. She filled every prescription. The defense argues the system that was supposed to save her chemically destabilized her instead.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott sits down with Tony Brueski to examine what was happening to Lindsay clinically — not the legal arguments but the treatment. Thirteen medications over four months from providers who allegedly were not sharing records or coordinating care. Three benzodiazepines. An antipsychotic her husband said made her ten thousand times worse. Dosages that went up when the family was begging for them to come down.Lindsay called a suicide hotline and was turned away. She spent three days in a psychiatric hospital before being evaluated. Her nurse practitioner allegedly never returned a follow-up call from a referring facility. The malpractice lawsuit filed by both Lindsay and Patrick Clancy describes a prescribing chain where each provider treated a fragment of her condition without seeing the whole picture.Shavaun walks through what thirteen medications do to a brain that was never properly diagnosed, why seventeen-minute appointments produce prescriptions instead of answers, and whether the pattern that failed Lindsay is unique to her case or standard practice in postpartum mental health care.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of Night Bird, discuss the Lindsay Clancy case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this solo episode, Paul F. Austin offers a candid introduction to 5-MeO-DMT, one of the shortest and most intense psychedelic experiences. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-365/?ref=278 Paul distinguishes synthetic 5-MeO-DMT from Bufo, compares it with N,N-DMT and psilocybin, and examines the risks that social media narratives often leave out. He also explores low-dose versus breakthrough work, nervous system readiness, medication interactions, facilitator screening, reactivations, ecological responsibility, and why integration may matter far more than the experience itself. Paul F. Austin is an entrepreneur, educator, and pioneer in the psychedelic field. He is the founder of Third Wave, a leading platform dedicated to psychedelic education, and the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, which trains coaches and practitioners to responsibly support psychedelic experiences and integration. As host of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul has interviewed hundreds of researchers, clinicians, Indigenous wisdom keepers, entrepreneurs, and cultural innovators. His work focuses on psychedelics, leadership, personal development, mental health, and cultural transformation. Highlights: 5-MeO-DMT beyond the social media hype Synthetic 5-MeO-DMT versus Bufo How 5-MeO differs from N,N-DMT Low-dose work versus complete ego dissolution Why nervous system readiness matters Medication interactions and physical safety How to evaluate a 5-MeO facilitator Why integration outlasts the experience Episode Links: The Practitioner Pychedelic Practitioner Certification by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

There's a 200+ year old pattern that doctors have been stuck in and that same pattern is what keeps you stuck on medication. If you can break this pattern, you'll be able to find the root cause of your gut issues, reverse it and may even come off medication. Without it, you'll be stuck in the cycle forever. One of my favourite things to do is use history to teach about your health. And in this episode, you're going to learn about the discovery of handwashing and germs, and how this story explains why you're still stuck on medication today. TOPICS DISCUSSED: The 200+ year old pattern doctors still follow Why you're still stuck on medication How to get unstuck from the meds How to best find your root cause Unlocking the secrets to reversing your bowel disease If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.

That moment when you stare into your medicine cabinet and think, “How did I end up taking all of these?” is more common than people admit and it's loaded with meaning. We talk through the hidden emotions behind prescriptions: fear, identity, shame, and the quiet belief that needing medication means you failed. From our seats in primary care and nursing, we offer a calmer, more practical way to look at it: medicines are tools, not trophies, and avoiding them isn't a badge of honor either. We break medications into two clear buckets. Some help you feel better right now (pain relief, reflux meds, inhalers, allergy treatments). Others prevent future problems (statins, blood pressure medication, diabetes medication, osteoporosis meds) and the benefit can be almost invisible, which is exactly the point. We use the seatbelt analogy to explain why “not feeling different” can still mean a medication is working, and how to think in probabilities instead of scary absolutes. We also talk about side effects: what's common, what's rare, why many are reversible, and why it's reasonable to ask for time to read and reflect before committing to a daily pill. Then we get into the messy realities: supplements with slick marketing, direct-to-consumer drug ads, influencers, and even credentialed voices making claims without evidence. We explain why polypharmacy (often five or more meds) can create dizziness, falls, confusion, and mystery symptoms, and why deprescribing can be one of the best things a primary care clinician does. We also draw a bright line around higher-risk tools like opioids and benzodiazepines, when short-term use makes sense, and why opioids and benzos should never be taken together.

"Doc, do I need to take this forever?" It's one of the most common questions I hear in my office, whether it's someone's very first visit or someone who's already lost 30, 40, even 80 pounds and is feeling great. In this episode, I break down why your body fights so hard to regain weight after you lose it, and why that's biology, not failure. I walk through the new ATTAIN Maintain trial, a study of 376 adults who had already lost significant weight on tirzepatide or semaglutide, testing whether switching to an easier once-daily oral GLP-1 could help them keep the weight off, instead of just asking whether stopping medication causes regain. Maintenance isn't about staying on one medication forever. It's about having an individualized, active plan, and the ATTAIN Maintain data gives us more options than ever to build one. Episode Highlights: Why your metabolism and hunger hormones fight to reverse weight loss Lessons from the SURMOUNT-4 trial on what happens when treatment stops completely Inside the ATTAIN Maintain trial design and who was studied The weight maintenance results: oral medication vs. placebo Why maintenance therapy doesn't have to look like the treatment that got you there What actually goes into a sustainable long-term plan beyond medication Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

We're closing out the season with something different: a multidisciplinary breakdown of episode six of Heated Rivalry. Not a recap. Not a fan theory session. A real conversation about what the show gets right — and what it gets wrong — about male performance anxiety, queer identity, female arousal physiology, and the stories we tell ourselves about our own bodies.To be clear: this isn't about hockey. It's about what happens when good storytelling accidentally becomes a teaching moment for sexual health.What We CoverPerformance anxiety isn't in your head — it's in your nerves, arteries, and muscles. Erectile function is vascular and neurological before it's psychological. Medication, alcohol, dehydration, stress — all of it shows up in the body before it shows up in the bedroom. We break down why "just relax" is the least useful advice you can give a man who's struggling, and what's actually happening physiologically when performance doesn't match desire.Shane's coming out arc, and why identity evolution isn't linear. The show doesn't hand Shane a clean, tidy arc — and that's the point. We talk about how culture, family history, and internalized norms shape the timeline of coming out, and why real identity work rarely looks like the movie version.Communication is the actual plot device. Underneath the hockey, the drama, the trauma — the show works because the characters eventually say the thing. We talk about why authentic communication is the real special effect in any story about intimacy, on screen or off.Behind the scenes: setting, production choices, small details you'd miss on a first watch — and yes, a detour into tentacle erotica as a case study in how sexual expression keeps evolving in media, and why that's worth understanding rather than dismissing.Key TakeawaysErectile response is biological first, emotional second — treat it that way.Female arousal physiology doesn't disappear at menopause; it changes, and imaging confirms it.Coming out stories are shaped by context, not just courage.Good storytelling about sex requires vulnerability, not perfection.Expanding your sexual literacy — even through fiction — is part of the work.You are not broken. Your body isn't broken. And apparently, neither is prestige TV's ability to sneak real sex ed into a hockey drama.Season two, see you soon.— KellySubscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it.

Supplement safety is often discussed in very general terms, but in practice the risks depend heavily on the individual. A supplement that is reasonable for one person may be inappropriate for another based on their medications, health conditions, dose, formulation, or the other products they are already using. This becomes especially important when supplements interact with medications or underlying medical conditions. Some interactions can change how a drug is absorbed, metabolised, transported, or cleared from the body. Others can amplify or oppose the drug's clinical effect, such as increasing sedation, lowering blood pressure or blood glucose, or affecting bleeding risk.

What Is Actually Living in Your Gut That Is Making Every Other Symptom Worse ft. Izabella Wentz Your gut symptoms have a cause. Finding it just requires someone willing to look past the standard playbook. More than thirty distinct root causes including SIBO, parasites, celiac disease, bile acid malabsorption, food sensitivities, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can produce the exact same symptoms and most of them will never show up on a standard workup because the tests that catch them were never built into the protocol. Dr. Izabella Wentz is a pharmacist, Hashimotos specialist, and four-time bestselling author who spent years watching her own body fall apart while the medicine she had been trained in had no answers for her. Explosive diarrhea, brain fog, anxiety, hair loss, fatigue. Each symptom managed in isolation, and none of them ever connected. It was not until she started looking at what was actually happening in her gut that everything shifted. The IBS went into remission, her Hashimotos improved, and the acid reflux disappeared. In this episode we get into why IBS is no longer being treated as a diagnosis of exclusion and what that means for anyone who has been handed that label without a real workup. Izabella walks through the first places she looks before any testing even begins, including medications most people never think to question and food additives hiding in products marketed as healthy. She breaks down the functional tests that actually reveal what is driving symptoms and why parasite infections are far more common than conventional medicine is willing to admit. She also explains the three conditions that have to be present for autoimmune disease to develop and why a disrupted gut barrier can precede an autoimmune diagnosis by a decade or more. The Medical Disruptor exists to bring you board-certified clinicians who were trained inside conventional medicine, learned its limits firsthand, and came out the other side with real answers. Your gut is not just a digestive organ. It is the command center for your immune system, your hormones, your brain, and your ability to absorb every nutrient your body needs to function. When it is compromised, everything else follows. And the longer you go without finding the actual cause, the longer everything else keeps breaking down. Want more practical health tips?

For years, hypothyroid patients who rely on natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medications have worried about shortages, changing regulations, and whether their medication would remain available. Now, Amerithroid has entered the conversation as a new American-made NDT option, promising greater transparency in sourcing, manufacturing, and quality. But what makes it different—and could it reshape the future of thyroid treatment?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the story behind Amerithroid, explaining how it compares to the existing brand-name NDT medications, why "Made in America" matters to many patients, and what to know about its ingredients, formulation, and potential benefits. We'll also unpack the recent regulatory challenges surrounding natural desiccated thyroid medications and discuss why the arrival of a new manufacturer is generating so much interest within the thyroid community.Whether you've been successfully treated with NDT for years, are considering switching from levothyroxine, or simply want to understand the latest developments in thyroid care, this episode offers the balanced, evidence-based information you need.
Eden Presti wears many hats. Case manager at Seasons Malibu. Brainspotting practitioner. PsyD doctoral student two years out from finishing. But before any of that, she was a young woman trying to figure out why her own brain wouldn't let her rest.In this episode, Eden takes us through her role at Seasons and what brainspotting actually does for trauma and anxiety. Then she gets personal. She walks us through her history with OCD, and it's not the version most people picture. Her symptoms built slowly, then all at once. She saw therapist after therapist. Nobody connected the dots. So she started researching on her own, piecing together a picture of her own mind that the professionals around her kept missing.Things got bad enough that she had to leave school. That's when she landed on her own diagnosis, before any doctor confirmed it. She also talks about leaving a relationship that wasn't serving her, and how untangling that was its own kind of clarity. Medication and therapy came next, but real management came from Eden learning her own patterns better than anyone else could.If you have ever been curious about OCD or wondered about it's larger role in addiction and/or mental health, this episode is for you.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out Seasons Malibu online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on Instagram DM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.com

YA'LLL this episode is one of the realest I've recorded in a while. I decided to stop taking my ADHD medication 2.5 months ago after 2 years on 20mg Vyvanse almost daily. Here, I share my experience with ADHD, getting diagnosed, my experience with Vyvanse, why I decided to stop and all of its effects on me.This isn't medical advice, it's my anecdotal experience — but I hope it offers some perspective to those of you also on stimulant meds. Also, let's harness the power of ADHD. It's not a disorder, it can absolutely be a superpower and I believe it is one of mine :)---⊹ LINKS ⊹

Cameron Oaks Rogers, host of the podcast Conversations With Cam, sits down with her mother Cindy Linville for a raw, funny, and deeply moving conversation about motherhood, anxiety, and what changes when a parent finally says yes to help.Live on stage for Body & Soul's "Reinventing Relationships" event at City Winery NYC, Cameron and Cindy talk about the years Cameron spent gently pushing her mom toward therapy and medication — and what happened after Cindy finally agreed.

We're Cathy and Merry, and welcome to another thoughtful, lively episode of Late Boomers! Today we're diving into a topic that affects so many older adults, but often remains undiscussed: why does appetite decrease as we age, and what can we do about it?Inspired by an AARP Bulletin article, “Why Aren't I Hungry?”, we explore the real-life effects of losing your appetite and thirst later in life. We share personal anecdotes, practical strategies, and the science behind changing eating habits, all with our signature Late Boomers flair!Whether you or someone you love has noticed eating less, skipping meals, or simply not feeling as thirsty anymore, this episode is for you. We break down why these changes happen, what warning signs to look for, and actionable advice for staying healthy and energized at any age.Key TakeawaysWhy Appetite Changes with Age: Our metabolism naturally slows down, hormones shift, and senses of taste and smell can decline, making food less appealing. Medications, dental and digestive issues, and even loneliness can all contribute to a reduced desire to eat 02:04, 04:12, 06:09.The Hidden Danger of Dehydration: As we grow older, our thirst signals weaken, putting us at risk for dehydration which can mimic other health problems or even cause dangerous falls 01:20, 17:06, 18:20.Social Eating Matters: Sharing meals with friends and family can help restore the enjoyment of food and encourage healthier eating and hydration habits 07:26, 30:09.Protein & Muscle Health: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial so adequate daily protein and strength training are both essential. From collagen and protein powders to Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, we share our protein-boosting hacks 11:53, 13:42.Smart Hydration Strategies: Don't wait until you're thirsty! Build in water breaks throughout your day, especially first thing in the morning, and remember that certain fruits, veggies, and even soups can help you stay hydrated 19:01, 22:35.Listening to Your Body: Unintentional weight loss and persistent low appetite aren't just a “normal part of aging.” Talk to your doctor if you notice ongoing changes in appetite, taste, or hydration levels it could be a sign of something deeper 24:47, 31:59.If you found today's episode helpful, please share it with at least one friend or family member who might benefit from these insights.

If you've ever been told your high cholesterol is "just genetic" and there's nothing you can do but take medication, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the exact, research-backed changes that helped me drop my total cholesterol by 35 points, LDL by 27 points, and triglycerides by 80 points in 12 months, no medication required.

Can you reverse osteoporosis naturally? This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Kim Millman as we explore what's truly possible when it comes to bone health. Together, we share what we've seen in clinical practice, what's realistic, and how to set proper expectations when it comes to improving bone density. We discuss how natural therapies like bioidentical hormones, weight training, and root-cause interventions can meaningfully improve bone health over time. We walk through real case studies, including women who improved bone density through hormone optimization, structured strength training, and correction of underlying issues like hyperparathyroidism. These cases highlight how addressing the root cause can dramatically change outcomes. This conversation reinforces something I deeply believe: With the right approach, many people can improve bone density, stabilize loss, and significantly reduce fracture risk. "Medications should be used as a short-term bridge, while we simultaneously work on stabilizing the root causes of bone loss." ~ Dr. Kim Millman In this episode: - [03:46] - Extent, timeline, and monitoring results of various therapies - [07:19] - Three pillars of natural bone building therapies - [08:55] - Case study: hormone therapy and spine improvement - [16:50] - Trabecular bone score (bone quality vs density) - [17:47] - Case study: weight training + hormone synergy - [27:17] - Hyperparathyroidism: a hidden driver of bone loss - [37:01] - Root causes of bone loss - [38:09] - When medication becomes necessary in an integrative plan - [45:01] - Restore & Rebuild program and practical next steps Resources - Get quality supplements from Margie's Fullscript Dispensary - https://tinyurl.com/paylesssupplements - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (video series) - https://tinyurl.com/strongerbonesexercises - Dr. Millman's Class: Restore & Rebuild: 100 Days to Healthier Bones (next class starts August 15th) - https://themillmanclinic.com/randr (Use coupon code HAPPYF26100 for a $100 discount) More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.
