Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "Physician wellness is a strategic imperative—not a moral crusade." The conversation focuses on why physicians must shift their advocacy for well-being from a reactive, moral argument to a strategic one that aligns with institutional priorities. Jessie explains that effective change comes not from complaining, but from understanding two key things: how physicians' own training contributes to the culture of unwellness, and what leadership truly values. She provides a framework for physicians to step out of victimhood and into leadership, learning to "speak the language" of executives by framing wellness as a necessity for retention, financial sustainability, and quality patient care. This episode is a guide for doctors who want to stop just enduring the system and start strategically shaping it from within. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

This week we speak with Professor Vladimiro Vida of U. Padua about a recent ECHSA large scale study assessing surgical outcomes of newborn cardiac surgery in Europe. What trends have become apparent in the past 10 years and why are outcomes generally better overall in this complex patient group? Why have outcomes for single ventricle surgery not improved as much as other newborn surgeries? Is there a relationship between center volume and outcomes? What interventions might result in improvements in outcomes of Norwood palliation? Dr. Vida provides his insights this week. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.07.023

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "The broken health care system doesn't have to break you." Jessie discusses the profound changes in the practice of medicine that no longer align with traditional training models. She identifies outdated beliefs prevalent in medicine, such as self-sacrifice, service at all costs, and avoiding discussions of compensation, which contribute to widespread physician burnout and mental health issues. Jessie emphasizes that the pressures of electronic health records, administrative burdens, and corporate medicine demand a new approach rooted in adaptability and self-awareness. She offers actionable strategies for physicians to reshape their approach, including recognizing harmful conditioning, setting boundaries, cultivating a growth mindset, managing energy, and advocating for systemic change. Jessie highlights mindset coaching as an evidence-based approach to rewiring old thought patterns, enabling physicians to reclaim their purpose and passion in a challenging health care environment.

Is your pediatrician making decisions based on your child's health — or their bonus check? What if the system that's supposed to protect your child's well-being is actually incentivized to push treatments, shots, and protocols not because they're best for your kid… but because it helps a provider hit their quota? In today's episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive deep into the modern medical model and expose how far it's strayed from what most parents truly want: real answers, real care, and real peace of mind. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Kathy Meehan from Meehan MD joins Brian to break down how her late husband — Dr. Jim Meehan — became a fearless advocate for functional, holistic care. She shares how their journey began, why they questioned the vaccine status quo, and how that led to creating a pediatric program built around empowering parents, not guilt-tripping them. If you've ever felt bullied in a doctor's office or pressured to go along with something that didn't feel right — this episode will hit home. You'll learn about the broken incentives driving pediatric practices, including how insurance companies reward doctors based on vaccine compliance, not outcomes. Kathy walks through firsthand stories — from her own children's chronic issues to intense pushback from the medical establishment — and offers a powerful case for why families deserve alternatives that respect informed consent and parental instinct. Even better? You'll hear how her team is building those alternatives. Their new “Mindset Kids” program combines modern telemedicine with old-school parenting wisdom, giving moms and dads the tools to handle everything from fevers to ear infections without running to the ER. It's affordable, accessible in all 50 states, and — most importantly — puts your child's health back in your hands. If you're a parent, grandparent, or just someone who's tired of a healthcare system that treats kids like checkboxes — this conversation is a must-watch. And if you've ever wondered whether there's a better way to raise healthy families in a world gone medically mad... buckle up. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Pediatricians are superheroes in scrubs, baby whisperers, teen translators and guardians of growing minds and bodies. But even heroes need reinforcements. The pediatric workforce crisis has made a prominent impact on the healthcare community including staff shortages, jam-packed schedules, long wait times, frustrated patient families and fewer new doctors joining the ranks. In this episode, we examine what's really going on. If we understand what's driving the shortage and discuss what we can do about it, we can begin to create change. This episode was recorded at the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joseph St. Geme, MD, is the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and the Physician in Chief at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Some highlights from this episode include: Breaking down the current crisis and why it's different than any other point in pediatrics history What doctors, practices and specialties are most impacted How this crisis could negatively affect quality, continuity of care and outcomes for kids Steps pediatricians can take to help shift this moment For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.
Today I'm opening up about something very personal. I want to share my daughter's story, because it's an example of how physical manifestations can signal something deeper. I'm going to use this as a jumping off point to explain how we would approach a situation like this in my business. A few years ago, our daughter was experiencing chronic hives (also called urticaria). We looked for triggers in her environment and her diet, as there are a lot of different possible triggers for inflammation. Functional lab testing is a great tool for taking a closer look at symptoms like these, and since I have access to this through my business, that's the avenue we pursued. Tests alone can help identify problems, but they can't solve them. Once the tests are complete and they have been interpreted professionally, it's important to come up with a plan. My daughter's tests revealed food allergies, gut dysbiosis, overgrowth of certain types of bacteria, and mold exposure. One of the changes we made was identifying a potential source of mold exposure—the cup she was using—and switched our brands for something that can come apart and be cleaned well. We also removed the foods that triggered her (corn, peanuts, cow's milk, and more). She's also on a gentle detox formula that's safe for kids. I also now have my daughter on a high dose of omega 3 fatty acids. This should improve the pro-inflammatory ratio from her testing. She also takes a multivitamin with methylated B-vitamins in it. If you're watching your child struggle with symptoms, I hope this inspires you to get to the root cause and make a plan based on data.

Most people easily forget how devastating some childhood illnesses were. Before the measles vaccine was developed in the early 1960s, 2 1/2 million people died of measles every year in the world.” Schneebaum advises parents who are hesitant to vaccinate to talk to their pediatrician about their concerns and approach the subject with an open mind and an interest in learning. Ron Schneebaum spent 40 years as a primary care pediatrician. He also served in the clinical faculty at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine. During his career he regularly noted the power and importance of love for the human psyche. It became the basis for his book, “Bigger Hearted: A Retired Pediatrician's Prescriptions for Living a Happier Life.” https://www.amazon.com/Bigger-Hearted-Retired-Pediatricians-Prescriptions/dp/B0DQK171YM#:~:text=Book%20details&text=In%20Bigger%2DHearted%2C%20Dr.,particular%20belief%20system%20or%20practicehttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "What if we stopped sacrificing ourselves to practice medicine?" She explores the pervasive culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice within the medical field that often leads to physician burnout and a deep yearning for greater peace and purpose. Jessie shares her insights from coaching hundreds of physicians, emphasizing that the issue is not a lack of resilience but a system that discourages well-being. The conversation covers her "7 Cs of transformative change"—Courage, Creativity, Calm, Compassion, Capacity, Commitment, and Community—as a framework for physicians to reimagine their careers and lives. Jessie also recounts her personal journey from feeling depleted to creating impactful wellness initiatives, including retreats and coaching, to help fellow physicians reclaim joy, meaning, and alignment. The key takeaway is: Physicians deserve to prioritize their own well-being, and by embracing self-compassion and intentional change, they can move from a state of sacrifice to one of sustainable purpose and fulfillment, ultimately benefiting both themselves and their patients.

This week we move into the arena of preventive cardiology when we review a recent report from the team at Northwestern and Princeton on the impact of early childhood food insecurity on cardiovascular health of people in young adulthood. How does food insecurity in young childhood impact the cardiac health of adults? Why is most of the impact seen on BMI but not other measures of cardiovascular health. How can food programs that support improved food and nutrition security work to improve long term cardiovascular health of children and adults? Do the benefits of such programs outweight their costs? Dr. Nilay Shah of Northwestern University shares his deep insights into his work and these questions this week.DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2025.1062

Pediatrician and holistic wellness expert Noemi Adame discusses her article, "Having a female doctor is better for your health, but not for hers." She highlights research indicating patients often experience better outcomes—including lower mortality, readmission, and post-surgical complication rates—when treated by female physicians, potentially linked to factors like longer visits and stronger adherence to guidelines. However, Noemi contrasts this with the significant personal toll on female doctors, who face higher burnout rates, a greater burden of uncompensated tasks like EMR messages (receiving 25 percent more requests), and a concerning lack of the longevity advantage seen in the general female population. She critiques the corporate medical system for failing to adequately support or compensate female physicians for the qualitative differences in their care delivery and the associated emotional labor. Noemi strongly advises female colleagues to protect their own well-being by considering alternatives to corporate employment, such as Direct Primary Care (DPC), independent contracting, or building a personal brand, while also acknowledging the unique challenges women face in setting boundaries within these models. Actionable takeaways emphasize the critical need for female physicians to prioritize self-care, implement sustainable practice systems, and advocate for themselves, whether inside or outside traditional employment structures.

Dr. Michael Artigues is president of the American College of Pediatricians. Dr. Artigues received his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University in 1988 and medical degree from the University of Mississippi Medical School in 1992 where he also completed his pediatric residency in 1995. He practices general pediatrics in McComb, Mississippi. He has served as a board member and president of the local crisis pregnancy and child advocacy centers and has been a member of the American College of Pediatricians Board since 2014.Children across America have been identifying as transgender in what some have called, "epidemic proportions." In fact, it's almost become a status symbol to be viewed as transgender. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a ground-breaking report which confirms the lack of evidence supporting both the safety and efficacy of transgender interventions both in children and adolescents. This goes against the mantra that's been coming out from many public school systems, as well as the practices of Planned Parenthood and what we've been seeing from Hollywood. This is a many faceted issue that involves aspects such as gender dysphoria, gender affirming care, preferred pronouns, puberty blockers, emotional instability, the suicide factor and more. Review this broadcast and you'll hear these things discussed while listeners called with their opinions both pro and con.

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "Why physicians find negotiating challenging—and what they can do to negotiate better." She explores why negotiation often feels stressful for physicians, linking it to medical training that emphasizes service, self-sacrifice, and conflict avoidance over self-advocacy, particularly impacting women. Drawing from her own experiences and coaching work, Jessie shares eleven actionable strategies designed to help physicians negotiate more effectively and mindfully. These tips include using breathwork to stay calm, clearly asking for what you want, conducting thorough research, understanding your value and bottom line (including the willingness to walk away), framing requests as mutual solutions, leveraging patience and silence, managing emotions like resentment, and celebrating successful outcomes without guilt. The conversation reframes negotiation not just as a business necessity but as a vital skill for physician well-being, energy protection, and building a sustainable career.

We've lost track of how many times we get asked when to move on from pediatric care. Some people ask because of personality – usually a clash between parents and doctors – but mostly they ask because they know there's a time for kids to move on to adult practitioners, they just don't understand when. In this episode we share details around how pediatric care is different from adult care, why people might stay with their pediatrician a little longer than anticipated, the list of clear reasons why you really should move on, and much more.

This week we delve into the world of exercise physiology when we review a recent paper by Dr. Adam Powell of Cincinnati Children's Hospital on the relationship of hand grip strenth to other measures of cardiovascular and skeletal muscular health and fitness. How does hand grip strength correlate with CPET measures of exercise abilities in children? How might this inexpensive test help identify patients who might benefit from exercise therapy? Will hand grip strength one day be as ubiquitous as blood pressure in the evaluation of our CHD patients? Dr. Powell shares the answers this week.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpedcp.2025.200144
