Are you trying to figure out how to price your services? You're not alone. Most NPs get stuck here, paralyzed by what the competition is doing.In this episode, Justin talks with Laquisha Stahl, a nephrology NP who just launched her own functional medicine practice. She's navigating the same questions you are: Should you list prices on your website? How do you attract patients without a huge marketing budget? How do you balance a full-time job while building your own business?They cut through the noise and discuss real-world strategies for setting prices, acquiring your first patients, and building a practice on the side without burning out. Justin breaks down why you shouldn't get hung up on web traffic numbers and how to build a client base organically.If you're ready to launch a wellness, HRT, or functional medicine practice, this episode provides the practical, no-nonsense roadmap to get started.

Interviewees: Justin Bullock, MD, MPH; Cary Payne, MD Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA Description: In Episode 114, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Justin Bullock (nephrology fellow, University of Washington; living with bipolar disorder) and Dr. Cary Payne (Program Director, Nephrology Fellowship, University of Washington) about navigating fellowship with a psychiatric disability—and how trust, humility, and creative flexibility built a training experience defined by healing and growth. Together, they retrace Justin's decision to pursue fellowship after a traumatic residency, his choice to lead with authenticity during the match, and the risks and rewards of disclosure in GME. They unpack how structured accommodations provided protection, why early defensiveness softened into trust, and the profound impact of Cary's disarming leadership approach: “It's not your job to teach us.” Listeners will hear advice for residents and fellows (consider strategic disclosure, seek accommodations as protective, build trusted provider teams) and for program directors (lead with humility, embrace uncertainty, and center accommodations in creativity rather than dogma). At its heart, the episode explores how one program became not just a safe space, but a place of healing—and why that benefits trainees, programs, and patients alike. This episode accompanies the open-access perspective This Armor of Mine: Perspectives of a Bipolar Physician and Program Director (Bullock & Payne, Chest, 2024) This episode is part of the ACGME/DWDI Disability Resource Hub, supported by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Catalyst Award, it's a powerful reminder that access isn't accidental—it's built intentionally, one relationship at a time.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, we sit down with Dr. David Askenazi, Dr. Heidi Steflik, and Dr. Kimmy Vuong to explore the latest research and practice shifts in neonatal nephrology. The discussion begins with the often-overlooked role of the kidney in the NICU and why kidney health has direct implications for outcomes far beyond discharge.The group reviews three recent high-impact papers. The first, a secondary analysis of the PENUT trial, examines whether PDA treatment in extremely low gestational age infants influences two-year kidney outcomes, raising questions about long-term renal risks and benefits of medical and surgical interventions. The second paper presents a consensus statement on kidney health monitoring for NICU graduates, offering structured recommendations on risk stratification and follow-up for preterm, critically ill, and cardiac infants. Finally, we highlight a quality improvement initiative that used the “Can You PLOTS” bundle to reduce ventilator days by addressing fluid overload systematically, underscoring the importance of early, proactive kidney-focused care.This conversation emphasizes kidney disease as a critical factor in neonatal medicine, the growing pathways for neonatal nephrology training, and practical steps teams can take now to better integrate kidney health into NICU care.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

This summer, join host David Mandell as he revisits and highlights episodes from Season 3 and 4 of The Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician podcast, in our 2025 Summer Rewind Series. "I genuinely believe there is a lot of information to gain from all of our episodes deliver, but for the summer, I've handpicked a few that offer intriguing ideas and a unique perspective for physicians in 2025," says David. "I hope you enjoy this Season encore series. Have a great summer!" Episode 3.13 | Originally Released: March 9, 2023 In this episode, Dr. Shaminder (Shammi) Gupta joins David to discuss his career path, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on that path, and what he is learning from being a business executive as well as a clinician. Shammi begins with his background – where he grew up, what got him interested in medicine why he gravitated to internal medicine & nephrology. He explains why his first job out of training was not a fit for him and how hurricane Katrina changed his path completely – as it did for many living in New Orleans at the time – opening up a career path he would not have considered otherwise. Shammi also covers how he built a significant dialysis practice in a smaller town setting, became president of the Kidney Foundation, and built a reputation throughout the state.  This led to his practice being acquired by Monogram Health, where he works today as an executive and clinician. Shammi then shares what he is learning from the “business side” of medicine, as he builds out a multi-state medical platform for kidney health, and describes the value CEOs see in physicians who can communicate well and know their field of medicine intimately.  Next, David gets Shammi's insights on wealth management, including building the right advisor team and why to potentially change advisors as you grow, and Shammi concludes with his three pieces of advice for fellow physicians, especially those starting out.

Some topics in pediatrics are flashy — like seizures, mystery rashes and fevers. While those often make headlines, others, like pediatric nephrology, are a routine but critical part of daily practice. Understanding these bread-and-butter issues is essential to diagnosing so many patients. Protein in the urine, blood pressure creeping up or a UTI that is more than ‘just a UTI' are often signs that something may be wrong with the kidneys. In this episode, we examine those practical essentials and learn how PCPs can feel confident in managing these diagnoses. This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor of the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joining us for this episode are Bradley Warady, MD, and Nathan Bines, MD, both from Children's Mercy Kansas City and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Warady is the Director of the Division of Nephrology, a Professor of Pediatrics and the McLaughlin Family Endowed Chair in Nephrology. Dr. Beins is the Associate Program Director for the Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Training Program, as well as a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding the core kidney issues in general pediatrics  How to identify these conditions early  The difference between benign findings and red flags  Tools for friendly language about topics that might be sensitive or embarrassing for a child  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Les bananes sont une excellente source de nutriments, notamment de potassium, de fibres et de vitamines, mais une consommation excessive peut provoquer divers effets secondaires.1. Déséquilibres nutritionnelsManger trop de bananes peut entraîner un excès de certains nutriments tout en créant des carences. Les bananes sont riches en glucides, notamment en sucres naturels, mais elles manquent de protéines et de lipides. Une alimentation trop riche en bananes au détriment d'autres aliments peut déséquilibrer l'apport en macronutriments et en micronutriments essentiels, conduisant à des déficits en vitamines B12, en fer ou en acides gras essentiels.2. Effets digestifsLes bananes contiennent des fibres solubles qui aident à la digestion, mais en excès, elles peuvent provoquer des ballonnements, des gaz et même de la constipation. Paradoxalement, si elles ne sont pas assez mûres, leur teneur élevée en amidon résistant peut ralentir le transit intestinal. Inversement, des bananes très mûres peuvent avoir un effet laxatif si consommées en grande quantité.3. Hyperkaliémie et risques cardiaquesL'un des principaux risques liés à une surconsommation de bananes est l'excès de potassium, un minéral essentiel au bon fonctionnement du cœur. Une consommation excessive peut entraîner une hyperkaliémie, une condition où les niveaux de potassium dans le sang deviennent trop élevés. Cela peut provoquer des symptômes tels que des palpitations, une faiblesse musculaire, voire, dans les cas extrêmes, des arythmies cardiaques pouvant être dangereuses.Une étude publiée dans le Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (2017) montre que l'hyperkaliémie est particulièrement préoccupante pour les personnes souffrant d'insuffisance rénale. Les reins étant responsables de l'élimination du potassium, leur incapacité à le filtrer efficacement peut rendre la consommation excessive de bananes risquée pour ces individus.4. Excès de sucre et prise de poidsBien que naturelles, les bananes sont riches en glucides, avec environ 14 grammes de sucre par fruit moyen. En consommer trop peut contribuer à une augmentation de la glycémie et, à long terme, favoriser une prise de poids si elles sont consommées en excès sans équilibre avec d'autres nutriments.ConclusionSi les bananes sont un excellent aliment, elles doivent être consommées avec modération. Une alimentation variée et équilibrée reste la clé d'une bonne santé ! Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

March is National Kidney Month. Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter wastes and extra water out of our blood and make urine. Damage to your kidneys means they can't filter blood the way it should, which could lead to kidney disease. Our guest for this episode is Leo Yamaguchi, M.D., associate program director and vice chief of clinical services for the TTUHSC School of Medicine's Internal Medicine Division of Nephrology. Dr. Yamaguchi explains how our kidneys work, some of the causes of kidney disease, how we can keep our kidneys safe and why we might want to consider becoming an organ donor.

Nephrologist Manjula Tamura discusses the downsides of kidney dialysis, especially for old or frail patients. Her field has set its sights on offering alternatives, including supportive medical management without dialysis, dialysis in increments, wearable artificial kidneys, and transplanted kidneys from genetically modified pigs – in addition to advances in preventive care that can help humans avoid kidney failure in the first place. Dialysis can extend life, she says, but it is a lifestyle change. The goal is to ensure that every patient's choice aligns with their values and life goals, Tamura tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Contributor: Alec Coston MD Educational Pearls: Causes of seizures in a fairly well-appearing child with diarrhea: Electrolyte abnormalities: hypocalcemia, hyponatremia Also hyperkalemia which causes arrhythmias and syncope - can appear like seizures Hypoglycemia If the child has diarrhea and appears very sick, differential diagnosis may include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): simultaneous occurrence of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury Typically caused by Shiga-like toxin producing Escherichia coli (also known as EHEC, or enterohemorragic E. coli) One of the main causes of acute kidney injury in children Toxic ingestions such as salicylates, lead, or iron In this case, the child had a seizure but appeared well and was afebrile: Consult with neurology led to a diagnosis of benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis (CwG) First identified in 1982 in Japan Viral gastroenteritis with diarrhea and convulsions but does not include fever, severe dehydration, or electrolyte abnormalities Uncommon illness caused by rotavirus and norovirus pathogens Criteria for discharge is similar to a febrile seizure - the patient had one seizure that lasted less than 15 minutes and he quickly returned to his baseline, so he was able to be safely discharged home This diagnosis does not predispose him to epilepsy later in life References Lee YS, Lee GH, Kwon YS.
