In this episode, renowned neurosurgeon, author, and compassion researcher the late Dr. James Doty shares the remarkable true story that changed the course of his life. (He shared his story in an interview with Mark in 2020.)Growing up in difficult circumstances, Dr. Doty recalls being a 12-year-old boy filled with anger, fear, and hopelessness, convinced he had no future. Everything began to change one summer afternoon when he wandered into a small magic shop and met an extraordinary woman whose kindness would alter his life's direction.She greeted him with a genuine smile, treated him with dignity, and created a sense of psychological safety that allowed him to be seen—not as a troubled child, but as someone with unlimited potential. Over the following six weeks, she introduced him to practices that were virtually unknown in the West at the time: mindfulness, self-compassion, and the power of reshaping the stories we tell ourselves.Dr. Doty explains that our minds naturally cling to negative experiences, creating an inner narrative that can limit our lives. By learning to replace thoughts like "I'm not good enough" with beliefs rooted in self-worth and possibility, he began to see both himself and the world differently.He describes how changing his inner dialogue transformed every aspect of his future—from believing he could attend college and medical school to becoming a Stanford neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, founder of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, and author of the bestselling memoir Into the Magic Shop.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Doty reminds us that mindfulness and self-compassion are not simply feel-good practices—they literally help us access our innate capacity for resilience, purpose, and connection. As we become kinder to ourselves, we begin to recognize that everyone carries a story, everyone experiences suffering, and everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.He closes with a powerful reminder that each of us has the opportunity, every single day, to make one person's life a little better.Dr. James R. Doty was a neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. He founded the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, an internationally recognized center exploring the science of compassion, mindfulness, and human flourishing.His bestselling memoir, Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart, has inspired readers around the world with its message that compassion, intention, and self-belief can transform lives.Although Dr. Doty has since passed away, his work continues to influence medicine, neuroscience, education, and the growing field of compassion research.Thank you for listening—and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Growing up, many of us were taught to just stay calm and carry on - as if stress was all in the mind, with no real effect on the body. But chronic stress can change your brain, raise your risk of heart disease, and even shorten your life.  In this episode, we ask: what happens when a stress response built to last minutes never switches off? Today, Professor Carmine Pariante, one of the world's leading researchers on stress, helps us understand what's happening in your body during a stressful moment and why chronic stress disrupts sleep, appetite, and energy levels. Carmine also explains how worried you should be about cortisol, and whether "cortisol face" and "cortisol belly" are backed by evidence. By the end, you'll understand why stress can be so powerful, when it becomes harmful, and have some evidence-based ways to manage it. Next time you reach for wine, your phone, or something sweet after a hard day, ask yourself: is this helping you cope, or helping you avoid how you feel?

For years, I quietly dealt with painful Hidradenitis Suppurativa until a surprising conversation with a friend told me how laser hair removal was a gamechanger for her HS. I was skeptical, but it ultimately became the HS treatment that made the biggest difference in my flares.In this episode, I'm sharing my experience with this treatment, who is most likely to benefit, types of lasers that work best, and how to possibly get this covered by your insurance. While this isn't a “root cause” fix for HS, it certainly can bring you relief if you're the right candidate for it, AND what you can do to then get at what's driving all that inflammation in the first place!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references + the HS laser hair removal insurance request form

Send us Fan MailSteroids again? This time in the eye. Daphna brings the DROP-ROP trial from JAMA Pediatrics, a double-masked randomized study across fourteen Swedish centers asking whether topical dexamethasone can stop pre-threshold ROP from progressing to type one disease. One hundred infants, born under 30 weeks, dosed for up to twelve weeks, some still getting drops at home. Twenty percent needed laser or anti-VEGF in the dexamethasone arm versus thirty-eight percent on placebo, a relative risk reduction that did not reach significance. Ben and Daphna talk through the safety signals, the intraocular pressure question, and how fast our field adopts promising ROP data.----Dexamethasone Eye Drops to Prevent Treatment-Requiring Retinopathy of Prematurity: The DROPROP Randomized Clinical Trial.

Prabhupāda writes that it's by one's determination and effort that one can perfect one's japa, which means that we have to take responsibility. There is a phenomenon in medicine that I read about recently and wrote something about. One of the main reasons that people aren't cured of certain ailments is because of noncompliance in taking the medicine: they either stop too early, and then it comes back, or they don't take it at all. In a similar way, japa is medicinal and has to be taken. So, just as one has to take responsibility—although a doctor gives medicine and says, "Take it," you have to be responsible about when you take it and making sure that you finish it; otherwise, the doctor can't help, as we have to help ourselves—existentially, we have to accept also that we're fallen. However we fell, that's a whole another issue that will never be resolved from this plane of consciousness. But in every śāstra and every utterance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He says we've fallen, and from a position of being fallen, we need a remedy. We need help. Japa is the ultimate expression of "I need help," and of taking responsibility for getting that help, because we have to personally do it. We have to meditate on the name. We have to chant the name with vigor and also sincerity, and that requires organizing one's life and collecting one's determination to achieve it.

Dr. Cynthia Li joins us to talk about her new book, The Medicine of Flow. Trained as an internist, Cynthia developed an autoimmune condition and then chronic fatigue and dysautonomia, illnesses largely dismissed at the time as being in her head. Her own body pushed her out of the paradigm she was trained in and into functional medicine, qigong, and intuitive healing. A decade later, a second crisis took her back to housebound and taught her what all her effort hadn't: coherence, and what she calls embodied flow. We talk about surrender that isn't passivity, why nervous system regulation is only part of the picture, and how coherence moves between bodies. Guest Cynthia Li, MD, is a physician who moved from public health to integrative medicine and intuitive healing, with earlier work at Kaiser Permanente's HIV/AIDS group, San Francisco General Hospital, St. Anthony Clinic, and Doctors Without Borders in rural China. A certified qigong teacher and healer since 2014, she has served as faculty for Rachel Remen's Healer's Art program at UCSF, and her story appeared in Dr. Kelly Turner's Radical Remission documentary. She is the author of Brave New Medicine and The Medicine of Flow (May 2026).

Blood Cancer Talks — Show NotesEpisode: Best of ASCO/EHA 2026 — Multiple Myeloma & AL AmyloidosisGuest: Dr. Prashant Kapoor, MD Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN Chair, Myeloma, Amyloidosis and Dysproteinemia Group, Mayo ClinicEpisode OverviewIn this episode, the hosts sit down with Dr. Prashant Kapoor to review the highest-impact multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis data from the 2026 ASCO and EHA annual meetings. The discussion centers on the rapidly shifting relapsed/refractory myeloma landscape, where a wave of phase 3 trials of T-cell engaging immunotherapies (bispecific antibodies and CAR T) have now each demonstrated superiority over traditional triplet regimens. Topics Covered1. MajesTEC-3Phase 3, open-label trial of teclistamab + daratumumab SC (n=291) vs. investigator's choice of DPd or DVd (n=296) in 587 patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma and 1–3 prior lines; prior BCMA-directed therapy and anti-CD38-refractory disease were exclusions (only 5% CD38-exposed, none were refractory). Initially presented at ASH 2025, with cytogenetic subgroup data updated at EHA 2026.Key results (34.5-month median follow-up):Median PFS not reached with Tec-Dara vs. 18.1 months with DPd/DVd; 36-month PFS 83.4% vs. 29.7% (HR 0.17)36-month OS 83.3% vs. 65.0% (HR 0.46)Severe infection rate front-loaded: ~35% → ~17% between the first and second 6-month windows, plateauing at ~10–11%/window beyond 12 months; overall grade 3–4 infection 54%, 4.6% fatal infections (mostly without IVIG prophylaxis)EHA 2026 cytogenetic subgroup: 2-year PFS 90% (0 HRCA), 82% (1 HRCA), 76% (≥2 HRCA) — vs. only 14% with DPd/DVd in patients with ≥2 HRCADiscussion points: Applicability to patients at 1st/2nd relapse seen in clinic today; whether infection risk limits use of Tec-Dara at first relapse; implications of the high-risk cytogenetic subgroup data.2. MajesTEC-9Phase 3 trial of teclistamab monotherapy vs. investigator's choice of PVd or Kd in relapsed/refractory myeloma enrolling a heavily anti-CD38-refractory population (100% CD38-exposed, 85% refractory) — the population MajesTEC-3 excluded. Natural comparator: CARTITUDE-4 (phase 3, cilta-cel vs. DPd/PVd in Len-refractory myeloma, 1–3 prior lines, ~25% CD38-refractory/exposed).Key results (~18-month median follow-up):18-month PFS 70% vs. 27% (HR 0.29); 18-month OS 79% vs. 69% (HR 0.6), despite ~2/3 of control-arm patients receiving BsAb/CAR T as subsequent therapyDiscussion points: Cross-trial comparison with CARTITUDE-4 — comparable 18-month PFS on cross-trial comparison, but differing populations (CARTITUDE-4 required Len-refractory disease; MajesTEC-9 enrolled a more CD38-refractory population) and differing maturity (~3-year vs. ~1.5-year follow-up); how Dr. Kapoor chooses between teclistamab and cilta-cel at earlier-line relapse in Len- and CD38-refractory patients, given the divergent toxicity profiles — ongoing infection risk with continuous BsAb dosing vs. the one-time cilta-cel infusion with its rare but potentially irreversible delayed neurotoxicity, IEC-enterocolitis, and CTTLN risk.3. MonumenTAL-3Phase 3 trial — the first phase 3 study of a GPRC5D-targeted bispecific — randomizing 864 patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma (mostly Len-refractory, ~10% CD38-exposed but none refractory) 1:1:1 to Tal-Dara-Pom (n=287), Tal-Dara (n=287), or DPd (n=290), each Talq arm compared against the common DPd control. Presented by Peter Voorhees at EHA 2026 and simultaneously published in NEJM.Key results (24.6-month median follow-up):Both Talq arms significantly improved PFS over DPd: Tal-DP HR 0.28, Tal-D HR 0.33 (both P

Today we're joined by Dr. Jennifer Grandis! Dr. Grandis is a physician, surgeon, cancer researcher, and author of Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care. Women now make up the majority of medical school graduates, so you might think sexism in medicine has been solved. Nay. Dr. Grandis interviewed over 100 doctors & scientists about what actually happens post-graduation... we see job titles without real authority, unequal access to resources, harassment, stalled promotions, and institutions that claim meritocracy right up until a gal has the balls to ask for equal pay. Important to discuss because representation is not the same as power, and we love a woman in power :)Visit her website to learn more about her book!

The Lindsay Clancy case has brought renewed attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare but potentially devastating condition that, when left untreated, has been associated with an estimated 5% risk of suicide and 4% risk of filicide. This week, Alexis and Jac are joined by Dr. Erin Davidowicz, a perinatal psychiatrist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, to discuss the case, the lack of public awareness surrounding postpartum psychosis, and why recognizing the warning signs can be so critical.

After divorce, medical decisions don't stop. Kids still need vaccines, dental appointments, medications, evaluations, therapy, all of it. In high-conflict or parallel parenting, even basic healthcare decisions can become a new arena for control, misinformation, and sabotage. To help navigate this, I'm talking with board-certified pediatrician Dr. Madeline Gagnon, a complex care specialist who has worked with families at Boston Children's Hospital and other leading institutions. We get into how kids get pulled into adult conflict without realizing it, what healthy conflict actually looks like between co-parents, and what child-centered medical decision-making means when parents don't agree. We also tackle a question that comes up constantly: if you're going to keep fighting these battles anyway, shouldn't you just stay in the marriage? It's a conversation about knowing what's worth going to bat for, what isn't, and how to keep your kids at the center. What you'll hear about in this episode: What child-centered medical decision-making looks like when you and your co-parent don't agree (3:49) How triangulation shows up in divorced families, often more subtly than you'd expect, and how kids get pulled into it without even realizing what's happening (17:44) Whether staying together just to keep the peace and avoid future battles is really the safer choice for your kids (28:23) Wisdom for the mom who feels like she's fighting an uphill battle just to get her kid the care they need (44:13) What healthy conflict actually looks like between exes, and how to move toward it instead of away from it (46:54) Learn more about Dr. Madeleine Gagnon: Dr. Madeleine Gagnon is a board-certified pediatrician, qualified neutral mediator, and advocate for family communication and conflict resolution. A graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine, she has worked for leading institutions including Boston Children's Hospital. She is the founder of BRIDGE Health Consulting, which helps families navigate conflict, grief, trauma, and life transitions; PULSE, a social initiative for teens and their parents that promotes communication and confidence through mentorship and social media; and BRIDGE To Home, which provides in-home support services for individuals with disabilities and mental health needs. Through years of work spanning both the clinic and community, Dr. Gagnon delivers practical, real-world approaches to everyday challenges that resonate meaningfully with parents, children, and teens alike. A trusted voice on parenting, adolescence, and family dynamics, Dr. Gagnon is frequently featured as a medical expert on network television and public radio affiliates.

Send us Fan MailEvery unit has a bolus camp and a continuous camp, and both are usually dug in. Ben brings a single center non-inferiority trial from India, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, randomizing 132 infants born before 29 weeks and under a thousand grams to extended infusion feeding or two hourly bolus feeds. Weight gain at discharge was essentially identical at 15.3 versus 15.7 grams per kilo per day, but the infusion group lost two fewer days to interrupted feeds.

Your support helps our guests' insights reach a larger audience!Today we're thrilled to share our interview with Vikas Sabnani, Co-founder and CEO of Marit Health, a free, AI-powered career community platform built for physicians and advanced practice providers. Clinicians share their own compensation data and in exchange get access to tens of thousands of real peer-reported salaries across every specialty and state, including the details that actually matter like base pay, bonuses, call schedules, hours worked, PTO, and benefits. Think of it as a Glassdoor for medicine. Marit also runs an AI powered jobs platform that matches clinicians to roles based on their specific preferences. In just fifteen months since launching, more than 100,000 clinicians have joined, making Marit one of the fastest growing community platforms in medicine [1]. Before Marit, Vikas spent seven years at Glassdoor and then joined Transcarent as head of product. In this conversation, Vikas walks through his path from Glassdoor to healthcare, how Marit's co-founder started the company on a Google Sheet, the anonymization architecture that protects physicians in small specialties, and how the platform is turning transparency into a business.

Martha Redpath, a CNM turned burnout and boundaries coach, joins Augustine to talk about what happens when the people who hold space for everyone else run out of space for themselves. Martha traces her path from home birth CNM in Vermont to founder of Provider Space Coaching — a pivot that came out of her own reckoning with alcohol, burnout, and eventually grief after losing her husband.The conversation moves through the state of community-based midwifery today (closures, legal exposure, the pressure CPMs face that CNMs often don't), the martyrdom culture baked into midwifery training, and what it actually looks like to teach boundaries as a clinical skill rather than a personality trait. Martha and Augustine also get into nervous system regulation, the difference between CNM and CPM entry points into boundary-setting, and why the ability to disappoint people — kindly and clearly — might be the most underrated skill in this profession.Key TopicsMartha's path: nursing → home birth CNM in Vermont → 10 years in a small hospital birthing center → burnout, alcohol, and the pivot to coachingThe current landscape for community-based midwives: closures, lawsuits, board investigations, and the Texas trend of using public social media posts as testimony against midwivesHistorical spikes in home birth rates (Ricki Lake's documentary, the ACA, COVID) and where rates stand nowCNM vs. CPM pathways into professional boundary-setting — and why CPMs often enter the field less boundariedThe martyrdom/"lone cowboy" culture in community-based midwifery, and generational shifts around itMartha's coaching framework: strengths-based reflection across eight life domains, nervous system regulation, "tiny habits," and discomfort resilienceGrief as a parallel thread to birth work, following the loss of Martha's husbandThe value of one truly safe confidant ("marble jar friends") for midwives carrying constant on-call stressResources Mentioned:Martha's coaching practice: providerspacecoaching.com — sliding scale fees, one-off debrief calls, and a six-week burnout package built around The Big Life JournalStudent Midwife's Keepsake Journal — the HIPAA-appropriate documentation journal mentioned in the mid-episode ad, with space for 100 birth records and built-in compliance guidance

Vidhya Prakash, MD, FACP, FIDSA, FAMWA, Chief Medical Officer and Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs and Population Health at Southern Illinois University (SIU) School of Medicine, joins host Mike Sacopulos for a candid conversation about her AAPL-published book, The Leadership Learning Curve: A Woman Physician's Journey as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Prakash traces her path from an immigrant childhood in Cincinnati through infectious diseases, Air Force service, and hospital executive leadership. She speaks candidly about imposter phenomenon, adaptive versus technical problem-solving, and leadership lessons from military service, while also describing her role in founding the Alliance for Women in Medicine and Science (AWIMS) at SIU, a grassroots initiative that has measurably improved faculty promotion and tenure equity. Listeners will hear practical guidance on balancing clinical practice with executive responsibility; distinguishing adaptive from technical leadership; treating leadership as both an art and a practice; reframing failure; applying Air Force leadership principles of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do; and helping more physicians, especially “accidental leaders,” step into leadership roles.

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in children and adolescents, but it can sometimes be easy to miss. From the toddler who drinks almost exclusively milk to the adolescent athlete struggling to keep up with their peers or the teen with heavy menstrual bleeding and persistent fatigue, these patients may present differently while sharing the same underlying diagnosis.  In this episode, we explore iron deficiency anemia in pediatric patients, including why it remains so common, which children and adolescents may be at increased risk, and the clinical clues that can help pediatricians recognize iron deficiency before it becomes a missed opportunity. Joining us for this important conversation is Akhila Vadivelan, MD, a pediatric hematologist/oncologist at Children's Hospital Colorado and an assistant professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.  Some highlights from this episode include: Evaluation, diagnosis and management of iron deficiency anemia  What this diagnosis means for different populations  Clinical clues pediatricians should look out for  When treatment makes sense  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

This week on PodcastDX, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar joins Lita, Ron, and Jean Marie to discuss AI and robotics in medicine—from surgical robots and rehabilitation technology to hospital automation, patient safety, and the importance of keeping human judgment at the center of care. Dr. Sanjeev Kumar was the first surgeon to perform a robotic cervical cerclage in the city of Memphis on a outpatient basis leading to discharge of the patient on the same day. This operation was called as a breakthrough by the local media as it helped local people in Memphis to achieve the dreams of having a family. Before he performed this operation in Memphis community, the patients and their family had to travel far away in other cities to get this operation done. They will go to Chicago in the North and Dallas in the south. Once Dr. Kumar started performing these surgeries in the City of Memphis, the crucial and novel treatment could be provided in the the city itself, helping the local community.

Somewhere between "you don't qualify" and "here's your full dose," there's a whole conversation nobody is having. GLP-1 microdosing has quietly become one of the most requested and least understood protocols in metabolic medicine. Patients are asking for it. Clinics are offering it. The research to fully back it doesn't exist yet. We get honest about all three at once. We cover what microdosing actually means, why the approved doses are the approved doses, why so many women in perimenopause feel the standard protocol wasn't built for their body, and where the real risk lives — which is almost never where people think it is. Not a pitch. Not a warning label. The conversation you'd get with ninety minutes instead of eleven.

Homeopathy has evolved considerably since Hahnemann's time. The materia medica has expanded, new methods of case analysis have emerged, education has changed, and new questions continue to push the profession forward.But what can change—and what can't?Recording together in Copenhagen, Denise and Alastair return to some of the foundational principles of homeopathy and ask what they mean for modern homeopathic practice. If only one similar disease can actively occupy the organism at a time, what does that mean for the totality of symptoms, single-remedy prescribing, complex disease, and the search for the “simillimum”? And what happens when prescribing moves away from those principles?From there, the conversation widens: How should homeopathy evolve? What would Hahnemann have done with thousands of remedies available to him? Where is there room for innovation in case analysis, materia medica, provings, and homeopathic education? And before we keep expanding the system, are there parts of what we already have that need to be better understood, verified, or revisited?It's a wide-ranging conversation about homeopathic philosophy, prescribing, Hahnemann's Organon, the history and future of homeopathy—and the difference between developing a system and changing the principles that define it.References mentioned in this episode:Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of Medicine — particularly Aphorisms 26–50 on similar and dissimilar diseases and complex disease, and Aphorism 211 on the role of disposition in remedy selectionSamuel Hahnemann, The Chronic DiseasesConstitution and By-Laws of the International Hahnemannian Association (1880)AIH Consensus Definition of HomeopathyStrange Rare Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education. This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today. From Hahnemann's original insights to the realities of modern practice, research, and education, Denise and Alastair bring over 50 years of experience to conversations that challenge assumptions and invite curiosity.

In this episode, host Emma Sellers, MS, welcomes Marc Doobay, DMSc, PA-C, DFAAPA, clinical associate professor and director of didactic education for the University of Iowa PA Program, and Gabbi Bullard of the University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, to discuss their work through the PAEA PA Student Success Competition. Marc shares how outreach programs like PASS can help introduce young students to healthcare careers while building a sense of visibility, access and belonging, particularly for those who may not otherwise see those careers as attainable. Gabbi discusses her experience helping coordinate a large team of student volunteers and how building on resources created by previous classes helped make the program sustainable. Together, they describe bringing PA students into Iowa City elementary classrooms for hands-on lessons about the heart and brain while introducing children to the PA profession. The conversation also explores the importance of starting with community needs, empowering students to lead and creating programs that can continue long after their original organizers have moved on.   PA Path is produced by Association Briefings.

Why are men encouraged to monitor their testosterone levels while women are often told not to bother checking theirs?   On this episode of Redefining Medicine, OB/GYN Dr. Tara Scott, MD, takes on the double standard surrounding testosterone treatment for women and why it's time for the conversation to change.   From cognition and mood to libido and vaginal health, testosterone can play an important role in women's health. Yet women often face significant barriers when it comes to testing, treatment, and access to appropriate dosing. Dr. Scott explores the history of testosterone research for women, including a promising 300-microgram patch that never received FDA approval despite positive data and no major safety concerns identified in the research discussed.   So, what needs to change?   Dr. Scott dives into the knowledge gap surrounding testosterone in women's health and the importance of helping more OB/GYNs gain the education and confidence to appropriately evaluate and address their patients' hormone needs.   Could greater education and research finally help close the gap in women's hormone care?   Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the status quo and asks why women are still being left out of the testosterone conversation.

Send us Fan MailRoutine cancer screenings have been proven to lead to better health outcomes and an increase in survival rates in the U.S. Finding cancer before it spreads can significantly improve outcomes. Bayless Drum, M.D., generalist in obstetrics and gynecology with Texas Tech Physicians and an assistant professor with the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, explains that Pap smears detect cervical cancer and precancerous changes and how new screening recommendations have changed leading to a decrease in frequency. She emphasizes the importance of screenings and the HPV vaccine, which can reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Dr. Drum also assures us that while these exams might be uncomfortable, they're important for early detection and prevention.

Thinking about trying a GLP-1 but not sure if you need a full dose? What exactly is microdosing, and does it really work?

Dr. Donn Posner is a leading expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), founder and president of Sleepwell Consultants, and an adjunct clinical associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is co-author of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: A Session-by-Session Guide, and he has trained and consulted with clinicians nationally and internationally across nearly four decades of clinical practice. In this second of two episodes, the conversation turns from what CBT-I is to how clinicians actually learn and deliver it. Dr. Posner reviews the available training pathways and what proficiency really requires, and explains why sleep hygiene — the advice most patients have already heard many times over — does not treat chronic insomnia, even though it has a place later in the work. He identifies the high-yield principles any clinician can apply immediately, including a fixed morning wake time, early light exposure, and getting out of bed when not sleeping. He then examines sleep effort as a perpetuating factor and CBT-I as fundamentally a therapy of acceptance, describing how he prepares patients for a treatment that will make them feel worse before it makes them better, and how cognitive work addresses the fear and resistance that follow. He closes with what clinicians should expect from a course of treatment — typical length and spacing, responder and remitter outcomes, and the durability of gains — along with how he handles sleep medication and why guidelines place CBT-I ahead of hypnotics.Learning ObjectivesAfter completing this educational activity, participants should be able to:Explain why sleep hygiene is ineffective as a monotherapy for chronic insomnia, and describe the more limited role it plays within a full course of CBT-I.Identify high-yield behavioral sleep medicine principles — including a fixed morning wake time, early light exposure, and getting out of bed when not sleeping — that clinicians can apply before completing formal CBT-I training.Describe sleep effort as a perpetuating factor, and summarize how the cognitive and acceptance-based components of CBT-I address the dysfunctional beliefs and resistance that arise during treatment.Summarize the expected course and outcomes of CBT-I (including typical session number and spacing, responder and remitter outcomes, and durability of gains) and explain why guidelines position CBT-I ahead of hypnotic medication.Topics Covered in This InterviewPathways to training in CBT-I and behavioral sleep medicineBoard certification in behavioral sleep medicineWhy sleep hygiene alone does not treat chronic insomnia: the dental hygiene analogyWhere sleep hygiene does belong within CBT-IAvailable CBT-I training programs and online optionsHow clinicians become proficient: consultation, community, and case experienceHigh-yield behavioral sleep principles any clinician can applySleep regularity, fixed wake times, and morning light exposureWhy getting out of bed is the hardest intervention for patients to acceptSleep effort as a perpetuating factorWhat good sleepers do — and do not do — to fall asleepCBT-I as a therapy of acceptancePreparing patients for the work: “I'm going to make you worse before I make you better”The cognitive component: uncovering and debunking dysfunctional beliefsCommon patterns of resistance, and exposure as the remedyTypical treatment length, session spacing, and pacingResponders versus remitters, and what the outcome data showDurability of gains and the role of sleep self-efficacyManaging and tapering sleep medication alongside CBT-IWhy guidelines position CBT-I ahead of hypnotic medication
