In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole breaks down why most people hit a plateau around the six-week mark in their healing journey—and why that's not a “failure,” it's feedback. She explains the physiological reasons protocols stop working as powerfully, how pathogens and organs adapt, and why your strategy must evolve as your body changes. Then she goes straight for the mindset: the cost of living in “service to everyone but yourself,” the illusion of getting “back to normal,” and how to start making decisions from inspiration instead of desperation so your health, family, and life actually move in the direction you say you want.   #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeYouRadio #HealingJourney #HealthPlateau #FunctionalMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #RootCauseHealing #MindBodyConnection #WomensHealth #HighAchievingWomen #HolisticHealth #SelfPrioritization #BurnoutRecovery #HealthMindset #InspirationOverDesperation   3 Key Takeaways: A six-week plateau is not a problem, it's a signal. Your body and the pathogens you're clearing adapt. What got you from A to B won't get you from B to C—your protocol, supplements, and therapies should evolve every 6–12 weeks, not stay static. If your life is built on self-neglect, your “normal” is the problem. When you finally prioritize your own health, you feel empowered—until old programming creeps in: “This isn't realistic, I have to get back to normal.” But that “normal” is usually burnout, overcommitting, and living for everyone else. Sustainable healing requires both strategy and mindset. Going all-in, “perfect” for six weeks, then crashing is not mastery. Micro changes, mindset upgrades, and asking “Is this decision rooted in inspiration or desperation?” create real, long-term transformation.    Quotes:  “A plateau isn't good or bad—it's just your body saying, ‘Hey, change the strategy.' If what you're doing is working, you're changing. So why would your protocol stay the same?” “If you're the burnt out, tired, exhausted, unhealthy version of yourself, you're not actually serving anyone. Everybody getting the glass-half-empty version of you is not helping your kids, your spouse, or your clients.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

À Washington, le Congrès américain doit examiner ce jeudi la requête de Donald Trump, qui veut intégrer le Nigeria à la liste des pays « particulièrement préoccupants » en matière de liberté religieuse. Ce vote tombera 48 heures après l'attaque meurtrière d'une église de l'Ouest du pays pendant une messe retransmise en direct. Les chrétiens sont-ils vraiment persécutés au Nigeria ? Quelles seraient les conséquences d'un vote pro-Trump au Congrès ? Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos est directeur de recherches à l'IRD, l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement. Il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, est-ce que les chrétiens sont persécutés au Nigeria ?   Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos : Il peut y avoir certaines zones où il y a des discriminations contre les minorités. Donc en l'occurrence confessionnelles, ça peut être des mouvements évangéliques ou même des catholiques, notamment dans le Nord à dominante musulmane. Mais il faut voir qu'à l'inverse, les musulmans peuvent aussi être victimes de ces discriminations dans des régions à dominante chrétienne, plutôt dans le sud-est par exemple. Alors il y avait une attaque qui avait frappé les esprits. C'était le jour de Noël de l'année 2012. C'était dans la région d'Abuja, à Matala Zuba précisément. Un commando armé avait attaqué une église en pleine messe de Noël. Le prêtre et cinq fidèles avaient été tués. Oui, il y a quelquefois des églises qui sont prises pour cible, notamment par des groupes jihadistes comme la mouvance Boko Haram dans le nord-est, qui là, en l'occurrence, avait frappé plus dans la région centrale autour de la capitale fédérale. Il faut savoir que dans les nombreuses violences qui agitent le Nigeria, il y a également des mosquées qui sont prises pour cible et qui vont être brûlées, qui vont être attaquées, pas forcément d'ailleurs par des chrétiens. Souvent, les groupes jihadistes s'en prennent d'abord aux musulmans, et l'essentiel des victimes, par exemple de Boko Haram, ce sont des musulmans, rappelons-le, parce que c'est mathématique. Ils agissent dans une région qui est surtout peuplée de musulmans. Leurs victimes sont essentiellement civiles et parmi leurs victimes, il y a aussi effectivement des chrétiens qui peuvent être ciblés comme chrétiens. Alors tout de même, c'était le 16 novembre dernier à Rome, le pape Léon XIV s'est adressé à la foule place Saint-Pierre, en dénonçant les persécutions des chrétiens à travers le monde, notamment « au Bangladesh, au Nigeria, au Mozambique et au Soudan ». Oui, alors il y a un index qui sort sur les persécutions des chrétiens dans le monde et qui donc fait état d'homicides en arguant que ces personnes sont tuées non pas pour être dépouillées, volées de leur voiture ou de leur portefeuille, mais bien à cause de leur dénomination chrétienne. En réalité, il y a des chrétiens qui sont ciblés au Nigeria dans le cadre de conflits fonciers, notamment dans la ceinture centrale du Nigeria, qui voient des éleveurs musulmans s'opposer à des cultivateurs chrétiens. Et là, effectivement, les églises peuvent être des marqueurs identitaires. Donc, on va brûler un village, on va aussi s'en prendre à une église. Ça peut être aussi des lieux de refuge. Et donc effectivement, là, on voit aussi des ciblages autour de lieux de culte qui visent explicitement les chrétiens. Mais derrière, les dessous de ces conflits ne sont pas fondamentalement d'ordre confessionnel. Ce n'est pas sur la manière de prier ou de croire. Ce sont d'abord des conflits fonciers, des conflits politiques, sur le partage du pouvoir, sur la compétition pour les ressources. Et puis, ne l'oublions pas, au Nigeria, plus de 200 millions d'habitants, il y a une pression démographique qui s'accroît. Et donc, dans certains cas, on voit que ces conflits fonciers opposent des chrétiens aux musulmans. Que pensez-vous de Donald Trump qui accuse le président Bola Tinubu de tolérer les meurtres de chrétiens par des terroristes islamistes ? Oui, alors le point important, c'est qu'il n'accuse pas le gouvernement de commettre le génocide lui-même mais de laisser faire. Donc effectivement, il y a un gros problème au niveau de l'appareil coercitif du Nigeria avec une police qui, disons, ne performe pas, qui n'est pas professionnelle, qui tue énormément aussi beaucoup de civils. La même chose pour l'armée. Il se trouve qu'en plus il y a une configuration en ce moment politique au Nigeria qui fait que le président est musulman et le vice-président est également musulman. Or, d'habitude, il y a une règle non-écrite, ce n'est pas une règle constitutionnelle, mais qui veut que si le président est musulman, son vice-président sera chrétien et inversement. Donc là, on a une configuration un peu particulière qui va donner du grain à moudre aussi sur tous ces lobbys évangéliques qui s'en prennent aux musulmans, à l'élite musulmane du nord qui est accusée de laisser faire les « terroristes peuls », puisque les éleveurs peuls sont tous rangés dans la catégorie des terroristes, ce qui tend à donner une dimension très ethnique à ces conflits, quoi qu'il en soit de leur aspect confessionnel. Aujourd'hui, cette croisade en faveur des chrétiens du Nigeria est renforcée par une superstar du rap américain, Nicki Minaj. Est-ce que cela ne pèse pas dans l'opinion publique américaine et dans le vote à venir du Congrès américain ce jeudi ? Alors, le fait qu'il y ait des stars du rap qui s'engagent effectivement dans cette campagne va évidemment jouer en faveur des lobbys évangéliques du Nigeria qui pressent le Congrès de mettre en place des sanctions économiques. Alors eux demandent des sanctions économiques, ils ne demandent pas une intervention militaire. Et de toute façon, même les leaders chrétiens du Nigeria se sont opposés à l'éventualité d'une intervention militaire américaine qui, dans tous les cas, est complètement improbable. C'est le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. On ne voit pas très bien comment l'armée américaine pourrait intervenir dans un terrain plus que compliqué, puisque là, vous allez poster des soldats américains autour de chaque église de l'Etat du Plateau, dans le centre du pays. Ça n'a absolument aucun sens. À lire aussiLes propos de Trump sur le Nigeria sont «irresponsables et criminels», dit le prix Nobel Wole Soyinka

In this episode of Business Accelerator, Alex Whitlock and Jason Back tackle a common challenge for established mortgage brokerages: hitting a growth plateau. They explore why the strategies that fuelled initial success may no longer be working and what brokers can do to reignite momentum. In an increasingly competitive environment with over 22,000 brokers and banks prioritising proprietary lending, maintaining growth requires more than just relying on repeat business. How can brokers evolve their business model to find new pathways when growth seems to have stalled? Tune in to find out the importance of the stress-test questions you can be asking yourself that can help double your volume in less time and how adapting your role through diversification and technology can pave the way for sustained expansion.

On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

You've been training Muay Thai for months—maybe even a year or two—and it feels like you're stuck. You're showing up, putting in the work, but your progress has slowed down. In this episode, Jonathan Puu, host of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast, breaks down why that feeling happens and how to push through it.This episode explores the Dunning-Kruger effect—why your awareness may be growing faster than your skill—and how this illusion can make even good students doubt themselves. Jonathan shares practical ways to overcome the plateau, including:

My guest: James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He's sold over 25 million copies worldwide and has helped millions of people transform their lives through the power of small changes. We brought the podcast to the campus of Ohio University, where we recorded live in front of 250 of the most impressive college students I've ever met. Notes: I loved the Morgan Housel moment - It was cool to see James' reaction to it (you can watch it on YouTube.com/RyanHawk). Morgan said, "I have absolutely not a single cell of envy for him. Because he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. You will not meet a nicer human than James Clear. You will not meet someone as successful as he is and as humble as he is. He is a saint in my life. And because of that, I adore every bit of this guy, so I cannot envy him. I am just inspired by his success, full stop." We should all strive to be that for the people in our lives. Your WHO - "Every opportunity in life comes through a person. Relationships are usually the most important thing. If you want to achieve more, there is a relationship that can unlock better results. If you want to make a meaningful contribution, helping others is a great way to do it. If you sim Willpower – 'People with tremendous self-control aren't that different from those who struggle. They're simply better at structuring their lives in a way that doesn't require heroic willpower.' It's not about determination, it's about design. That's liberating. Fall in Love with the Process - "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision." Make It Obvious, Easy, Attractive, Satisfying - The four laws of behavior change: make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible, make good habits easy and bad habits difficult, make good habits attractive and bad habits unattractive, make good habits satisfying and bad habits unsatisfying. Use the Two-Minute Rule - Scale any habit down to something that takes two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read one page. Want to run a marathon? Put on your running shoes. The goal is to master showing up and make the entry point as easy as possible. Standardize Before You Optimize - You can't improve a habit that doesn't exist. Master the art of showing up before worrying about optimization. Build consistency first, then work on increasing the dose or improving performance. Track Your Habits Visually - I use a paper clip strategy: start each day with 120 paper clips in one jar, move one to another jar each time I complete a writing session. Visual tracking provides clear evidence of progress and makes the habit satisfying. Habits Need to Match Your Personality - There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Morning people and night owls need different strategies. Work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Choose habits and contexts that align with who you already are. Create Commitment Devices - Make bad habits difficult through commitment devices. I had my assistant change my social media passwords every Monday and only give them back on Fridays. This eliminated mindless scrolling during my productive work hours. Focus on Systems, Not Goals - Winners and losers have the same goals. The difference is their systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve; systems are about the processes that lead to those results. Fall in love with the process, not the outcome. Build Habits That Align With Your Desired Identity - I wanted to be a writer, so I wrote every Monday and Thursday for years. Eventually, I had proof. I couldn't deny I was a writer because of the body of work I'd created. Your habits are how you embody your identity. The Plateau of Latent Potential - We expect progress to be linear, but it's not. Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. You need to persist long enough to get through the plateau and break through to the other side. Reduce Friction for Good Habits - I want to work out more, so I lay out my workout clothes the night before. When I wake up, they're the first thing I see. The easier you make the habit, the more likely you are to do it. Increase Friction for Bad Habits - Want to watch less TV? Unplug it after each use and put the remote in another room. The added friction makes the bad habit less appealing and gives you a moment to make a better choice. Automate Good Decisions - Technology can lock in good behavior. I set up automatic transfers to my investment account. Once the system is in place, the good behavior happens without requiring willpower or decision-making energy. Student Questions  On Building Habits in College - The mess of college is actually useful because you're forced to figure out who you are. Use this time to experiment with different habits and see what sticks. You have more flexibility now than you will later in life. On Breaking Bad Habits - Trying to eliminate a bad habit without replacing it with something else is really hard. The more sustainable approach is habit substitution. If you want to stop scrolling social media, replace it with reading for five minutes instead. On Staying Consistent - Never miss twice. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new habit. Elite performers aren't consistent because they're more disciplined—they have better strategies for getting back on track quickly when life happens. On Finding Your Purpose - I think the idea of finding your purpose is misleading. You don't find your purpose; you build it through the habits you practice daily. Your life is essentially a collection of your habits, so if you want a different life, build different habits. On Overcoming Setbacks - After my accident, I had to redefine what success looked like. Sometimes progress means recovering what you lost rather than reaching new heights. Focus on what you can control today rather than what you wish you could control. On Reading and Learning - I read across many disciplines because insights often come from connecting ideas from different fields. Read widely, take notes, and revisit those notes regularly. The goal isn't to finish books—it's to find ideas that change how you think. On Building a Writing Practice - I published twice per week for years before anything took off. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Show up consistently and let time do the heavy lifting. Reflection Questions Are you focused on achieving goals or building systems? What's one process you could improve this week that would make your desired outcomes more likely? What's one habit you want to build? Can you make it so easy that you can't say no—something that takes two minutes or less? How can you design your environment to make this habit obvious and attractive? Which of your current habits align with the identity you want to build? What small votes can you cast today through your actions to prove to yourself who you want to become?

In this, the last spooky season episode for the year, we go into the mind of HP Lovecraft and the shared universe he created.  A man touched by his family's brushes with both greatness and madness, he was never a huge success in his lifetime and held horrible, racist views that he supported with pseudoscience like eugenics.  But as troubled and troubling as he was and is, the Mythos is one of the larger shared universes in fiction.  A place where humanity is just a short sad blip on existence and the universe at large just does not care and will wipe us out with relative ease.  This universe has provided ideas and fodder for so many writers who have added their own thoughts and ideas to the mix.  We cover his Great Old Ones, his deities, his races he created, villains, the more or less human element in his stories and so much more.  So come with us, take a stroll across the Plateau of Leng, visit the campus Library at Miskatonic University in Arkham Massachussets and visit Shadow-haunted Innsmouth in this oh so strange episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

The hospitality construction pipeline is full of mixed signals. For #NoVacancyNews, I spoke with Bruce Ford of Lodging Econometrics to cut through the noise for clarity on hotel development drivers. We discussed the rise of conversion brands, slowdown in new construction starts, and why markets like Dallas and Phoenix are still growth giants. Bruce also shares why franchise companies are clamping down on PIPs — and what that means for owners. #hoteldevelopment #hospitalitystrategy

In episode #227, “Hitting a Language or Growth Plateau,” I dive into what it really means to feel “stuck” — whether you're learning a new language on your mission or working toward any kind of growth goal. We'll talk about how powerful your thoughts are, how labeling yourself as “stuck” can actually keep you there, and how to shift your mindset to get unstuck with more compassion and intention. I'll teach you how to move from fear-based motivation—like pressure, judgment, or comparison—to love-based motivation rooted in purpose, connection, and service. In this episode, I also explore a new way to think about the gift of tongues: what if true communication isn't just about perfect words, but about heart-to-heart intent and the Spirit? We'll look at how to reframe your progress, appreciate the middle moments of learning, and keep growing—not because you “should,” but because you genuinely want to. Whether you're a currently serving missionary, preparing to go, home from your mission, or a missionary mom or leader, this episode will help you strengthen your emotional resilience, faith, and love for the process of becoming.

Solo again from Costa Rica. We're soaking in the beach sun,, hiking in nature a little, and overall enjoying a slower pace than what we had in Warsaw or Prague.In this episode, I dive into the AI revolution and what investors can learn from the dot-com bubble 25 years ago. I talk about how hype and leverage repeat through history, why it's nearly impossible to know which companies will last, and why sometimes it's wiser to buy the whole haystack instead of trying to find the needle.I also discuss Ferdinand Magellan, New York's growing migrant crisis, some lie detection, and Obama's comments on the places we've spent the past two summers.

How do you go from “I want to hit $2 million” to actually doing it? This week's Hot Take comes from Winnie, who asked: “I would love to hear more about setting financial goals for 2026, and specifically how to ask for the referral from past clients in the most polite way. It's one thing to say my gross revenue should be over $2 million, but how do you proactively go after that business?” Jennifer and Robin break it all down across referrals, financial goals, marketing, and metrics. You'll learn how to identify your highest-value clients, ask for referrals that don't feel awkward, and build repeatable systems that turn great service into sustainable growth. They also share why your next revenue leap depends more on conversion rates and client experience than chasing followers, and how SEO, email marketing, and even AI can help you land your next client. If you're ready to break through your current ceiling and scale smarter in 2026, this one's a must listen!

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Adeesha Pemananda is joined by Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera, a world-renowned dual board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and a pioneer in bioregenerative techniques and the number one provider of Sculptra aesthetics in the U.S. The discussion, titled "Breaking the Regenerative Plateau: How Clinics Can Differentiate, Diversify, and Scale Beyond Biostimulators in 2026," provides a visionary roadmap for clinics looking to move past traditional biostimulation and into the future of cellular longevity and orchestration. Dr. Shino Bay emphasizes that the next wave of aesthetics isn't about adding more biostimulators; it's about activating the body's own cellular intelligence through orthomolecular signaling, like polyrevitalizing micronutrients, to improve tissue structure and function. He explains the difference between these micronutrients and PRP, detailing how combining them with traditional biostimulators like Sculptra or Radiesse can amplify results, leading to a total rejuvenation of the dermis's structure and function. He shares his practice's financial success, showing a massive return on investment from integrating these inexpensive micronutrients. To stand out in a crowded regenerative space, Dr. Shino Bay advises clinics to educate and elevate their patients' understanding, positioning the body as an ecosystem, not a canvas. He urges practitioners to adopt a philosophy of achieving true bio-restoration—not just external rejuvenation, by integrating functional aesthetic medicine principles like orthomolecular diagnostics, mitochondrial optimization, and hormonal balance into a unified, evidence-based system. Finally, he provides strategic advice on scaling, focusing on diversity through depth, not volume. He covers the financial, operational (investing in full-team training), and regulatory obstacles, stressing the need for compliance, transparency, and partnering with credible, ethical suppliers. Dr. Shino Bay's key takeaway is that every cell is a conscious, living entity that needs nutrition, protection, and hydration; when practitioners deliver this locally, they amplify all other treatment results.

The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsProgress in running is rarely smooth, often unpredictable, and sometimes shaped most by the days we'd rather forget.Alex Ostberg is back again to discuss ideas that every runner will recognize but few stop to articulate. The Run Down recap is here and full of gold once again.From the unseen pitfalls that quietly derail progress, to the illusions we cling to about steady improvement, to the challenge of bracing for what we cannot predict. And when it comes to bad days, the ones we often wish away, Alex makes the case that they might hold more value than we think.The beauty of these conversations lies not in polished answers, but in the back-and-forth exploration. Dominic pushes Alex to expand, clarify, and ground his reflections in the messy reality of training and racing, while Alex offers insights that invite listeners to look at their own running in a new light.This is not just a recap: it's an invitation to sit in on a thoughtful exchange between writer and reader, athlete and coach, runner and thinker.

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common fasting challenges with evidence-based solutions, addressing Monica's self-sabotage pattern after reaching new low weights by explaining the body's three-pronged defense system (defend phase preventing further loss, restore phase increasing regain rate, and prevent phase reducing future weight loss probability) that creates powerful physiological resistance requiring equally comprehensive counter-strategies. The hosts reveal how metabolic adaptation activates during weight loss like a toddler throwing a tantrum, making the body fight harder at new weight thresholds, while providing practical "when-then planning" to manage the slippery slope of increased hunger and reduced willpower that emerges from dopamine deficits caused by sleep disruption and stress. They address Emily's two-week plateau after losing seven pounds initially with 20:4 fasting, explaining the critical distinction between water weight loss from glycogen depletion versus true fat loss, recommending the Blueprint to Fasting for Fat Loss resource and strategic window timing adjustments to restart momentum. Patty's wine consumption question during OMAD receives honest analysis of alcohol's metabolic priority over fat burning, sleep disruption effects reducing next-day metabolic efficiency, and dose-dependent impact on hormones especially for postmenopausal women, with recommendations to shift from daily to occasional consumption strategically timed for better recovery. The episode covers supplement timing during fasting windows (berberine, creatine recommended daily for consistency despite potential stomach sensitivity), addresses sleep disturbances from excessive 48-hour fasting during maintenance (recommending 24-36 hour alternatives to protect sleep quality over marginal metabolic gains), and explains post-meal walking benefits for glucose management through skeletal muscle uptake and improved insulin sensitivity, even when continuous glucose monitors show delayed rather than reduced spikes. Throughout, Scott and Tommy emphasize viewing fat loss and maintenance as a continuum rather than separate phases, building sustainable habits during weight loss that seamlessly transition to lifelong maintenance, positioning their upcoming pre-Thanksgiving seven-day challenge as strategically timed to establish momentum before the holiday season while reinforcing that successful fasting integration requires addressing foundational lifestyle factors of stress, sleep, food relationships, and mindset alongside fasting schedules. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Feeling trapped on the dental treadmill? That plateau between $1-2 million in practice revenue isn't just common—it's a critical crossroads in your ownership journey.Dental practice owners typically hit this wall after establishing their core team (usually two hygienists, two assistants, and two front desk staff), then find themselves unable to push beyond despite working harder clinically. The fundamental problem isn't your clinical skills or work ethic—it's that you've reached the ceiling of what one dentist can physically produce while simultaneously trying to run a business.I experienced this firsthand when my practice hit $1.8 million back in 2015. Despite efficient systems and block scheduling, growth seemed impossible without clinical burnout. I was constantly trying to squeeze in one more same-day patient while lacking the energy to handle the essential business responsibilities. The breakthrough came when I realized that most dentists don't actually own a business—they have a really good job. A true business continues generating revenue when you're not physically present, while most dental practices stop producing the moment the owner stops performing dentistry.Breaking through requires four transformative mindset shifts: transitioning from dentist to owner, building a leadership team, systematizing operations, and developing problem-solvers within your team. By implementing these changes, I was able to bring on my first associate, reduce my clinical schedule, and unlock unprecedented freedom—taking 18 weeks off last year while my practice continued thriving.The path beyond $2 million isn't about working harder; it's about working differently.

It's an indicator for you to know what the next step is kind of like when our seatbelt buckle beeps in the car, it's an indicator to put our seatbelt on ⁓ or we get the indicator from the gas light. It's an indicator to go and fill up our car with gas. Same thing when we're practices like it's plateaued or it's stuck. It's just like   Cool, let's diagnose, let's create a framework. Today I'm gonna help you have a three-step framework to diagnose your growth ceiling and how to push through it with strategy and confidence. So that's about what we're gonna do today.

So just make sure life super, super easy. Ease is one of our core values and trying to make your life easy is what we're obsessed about. So today when we're going to, a lot of times I see this in like a 1 million, a 1.5, a 2 million practice where they're just like, gosh, I feel like I've just like hit my level and I don't know how to grow beyond it. It's kind of like my hair. My hair grows to a certain length and it won't grow beyond that. Like I can cut it shorter.   but it just grows and it has never once grown beyond that. It's like, I don't know how to get my hair to grow past this level. Well, some practices feel like stuck hair, ⁓ but I just want to help give you this framework of three simple steps to help you diagnose it and then figure out what the next step is. So number one is to diagnose your true ceiling. And ⁓ this is where we're going to figure out like what the true cap rate is. Now, why we'll put this with an asterisk though, because a lot of offices think they've tapped out capped out.   but maybe they're just so used to sitting in there or they don't know how to have an eye for it. I went into a practice once upon a time. They had four ops and they're like, Kiera, there's nowhere else we could ever fit an operatory in here. So we're just gonna build out, we're building a building across the street. Well, within about 15 minutes, I was able to find another operatory. They added that operatory. They were able to add 200,000 to their practice just that year.   just by adding that one operatory in place. And they were like, well, we wish we would have met you like even a few months ago before we started building this huge, expensive building. I have another client where they got huge design plans out to like expand the building. It's a huge, huge expansion. They sent me a video of their downstairs and I was like, gosh, we could add like six ops down here with less effort, less reno. ⁓ And so I think also before you like truly say you pick capacity.   maybe getting a second set of eyes on it or a third set of eyes to see is there any hidden potential in here because we're looking at chairs, ops, providers, and hygiene days. That's going to truly be capacity of what can we do. Now again, getting creative because could we add maybe an hour in the morning? Have we maxed out all five days in the office? A lot of times people tell me we're maxed and I'm like, but you're not even working five days. That doesn't mean you have to work five days, but if you're practicing your building sitting empty, that space that we could actually grow that isn't the true ceiling.   So if we are not maxing out all five days, if we're not maxing out ⁓ all the operatories or all the space that we've got, you truly have not hit your ceiling. You might just not want to do the things that are capable for you. So looking at that, could I add more chairs? Could I add more operatories? What about more providers? What about more hygiene days? What about more hygiene hours? Is there space to expand any of that? Before we truly go to expand, these might be some areas that might be able to help you get past this plateau of some other areas. Also, let's look at our leadership.   ⁓ Is our owner acting as a manager and not a CEO? Are they managing the day to day? ⁓ Are they involved in all the meetings or are they truly as a CEO? And our office manager is acting as the manager within the practice. So looking for that because sometimes just freeing that owner doctor up to be a CEO actually can expand your practice very quickly with minimal effort. You actually can have all that in place and there's very little effort that you actually have to do because now the owner is able to look at things   It's like, give me a day of nothing and I will create so many possibilities. And so getting that owner out of the manager seat and into the true CEO seat, if that's the right seat for them, can also help. And then let's look to see like, what are our gaps? are there scheduling apps gaps? Do we have block scheduling in place? Can we maximize our schedule even more? What about our case acceptance, our AR? ⁓ What are some of the other areas of bottlenecks within our practice that maybe if we look to see changing them, like I've added hundreds of thousands.   including millions to a practice just by doing a different scheduling tactic, looking at the flow of the practice, just changing up the flow with pediatric practices, looking to see where do we put our ops versus our, our profis. You can actually readjust that whole schedule and actually squeeze out more juice in your practice, giving a better patient experience with little to no effort, just reworking how we're doing things. So I really, really, really love this. Like there's a practice.   that cure were totally maxed out. Like we don't know what to do and should we like expand our practice? They already have the huge practice and looking at it, I was like, but we're only here four days. So why don't we even consider that fifth day and or evening hours a couple of days? Again, that does not mean your current team. We could hire other team members for this, but like let's just run some numbers and see just adding that extra day, those lower, those evening hours. We were able to add over 550,000 to a practice just by doing that one simple thing.   no extra cost to the building. We were able to bring in two team members for that. Everything ran super easy. So I think I would go and look to see like in your practice when you're thinking I've plateaued, run a quick audit and say, where are we losing time? Where are we losing money? Or where are we losing energy? Like what are the true bottlenecks in our practice? And this is where like a CEO has to have that visionary time. Because if we ran a 60 minute audit on your office,   Could we quickly find those? When I walk into an office or our consultants walk into an office, that's what we're doing. We're auditing your practice. We're looking for these bottlenecks. So even if you can't figure out that, maybe it is time to consider bringing a consultant on site to just look at your practice to see. And we can do this virtually or in person. In person is obviously a little bit easier, but virtually too. Take videos and we can diagnose that space real quickly for you just to see what are maybe some of the options that we could do for you. So then when I look at this, SIP 2 is going to be like,   reworking all of your systems for scale. ⁓ It's like the saying is like, what got you here is not going to get you to where you need to go. So we've got to rework those. And like there have been practices that I walked in and they're actually too systematized. They're too in the weeds to be able to grow and expand it. And so for that, like, what do we need to upgrade? So like I said, for block scheduling or for handoffs or for our morning huddles or for accountability systems or reporting or KPI or tracking, like, ⁓   everybody doing a time audit to see what is on your schedule that should not be on your schedule that we could actually put into different people's spots. So often offices will tell me like, Kiera, we're so maxed. And I'm like, you're actually not maxed. Everybody's just overlapping. So we're like two or three people on the same task versus separating it out, delegating it out, getting everybody crystal clear.   ⁓ That way everybody can see and can have clarity. And I don't necessarily do it by person, but by seat. So especially for an office, we've got chair one, chair two, chair three. What do each of these chairs, what are they responsible for? What are the numbers and the metrics that they're responsible to do? So really like separating it out, dividing it out, making sure our systems are very scalable. So think like, okay, if we're a five-op practice doing 1.5 million today, what would a $4 million business that's maybe an eight-op practice do?   How would we have to change those systems and even starting to implement those systems now into your practice can exponentially help you go beyond this plateau space. So I really think like when you look at it, those simple changes like we're able to add 10,000, 20,000, 15,000 to a practice per month just by adjusting some of these systems, just by adjusting the KPIs, just by adjusting what people are doing because a lot of times smaller practices are more.   Overlappy, I think is the best way to say it rather than the larger practices the larger practices do read a little bit leaner they have more ⁓ More clarity of who should be doing what because they have to and so really looking to see what do I need to do? And how can I optimize the systems? What what's outdated in our practice that maybe we could revamp refine? Do differently now on the flip side sometimes practices that are so large actually have so many old dated systems that they just keep bringing forward that they need to actually   get rid of some of those dated systems and pick one or two systems to update. So like, are we so clunky in everything that we're tracking on our scorecard? Could we eliminate some of the things that we're tracking? So there's either, we need to track more or we need to track less. What is it and how can I actually update and rebuild our systems to be able to scale with ease? So that would be a quick thing to look at of like, what's outdated or what's to like, not like nuances.   what areas, and again, these are hard things to see. So fair warning, you've never done this before. So you might not even realize something's dated. And there was a practice who was still using paper charts. And I walked in and I was like, I've worked with you for a year. You didn't bother to tell me you had paper charts. But for them being in the day to day, they didn't realize that that was dated. So sometimes for you, you do need a bird's eye perspective. You do need someone who has seen hundreds of offices of what should be happening or what could be happening in your organization.   that maybe you're not even doing. So truly I am big on, yes, I am a consultant. So of course I have that. We do it within our company too. Bringing in people who are smarter than where we are. We know we've hit our ceiling and what we know how to update or what we think is outdated, we've already fixed. It might be time for you to also have that. And sometimes that's where the plateau happens is because...   You've grown as far as you know how to grow. You don't know how to go to the next level. And I've been there. I'm in there in my company right now. Like we're getting ready to bring somebody in from large, large, large corporation to still keep our like our boutique feel, but allowing us to scale in ways that I don't even understand how to do. So truly like even myself, I do this for our company because I think it's so wise to see somebody else who can help me figure out like what's dated, what's not working to help us scale even more while maintaining the feel of.   we are. Excuse me, step three.   Step three is going to be setting a bold new vision. So ⁓ when we feel like we've plateaued, we gotta figure out like, where do we want to go? Where do we want to grow to? And for me, it's like defining what the next level looks like. So is that team profit schedule lifestyle? When we work with offices, we set a one, three, 10 year goal that helps have this bold new vision. And sometimes you might be in this, I was in this and at year, gosh, it was year seven. ⁓   I like kind of lost the vision and I was like, I don't really know if this is where I want to go. And so we've got to just like clear up the vision and figure out where are we going? What does that look like? Team members schedule, like how many hours is the CEO working? Things like that. And then getting the whole team bought into it. And this is something I really love about leadership teams is we, build the vision together. So owner, yes, like I need to know where you want to go. You set the lighthouse for us and then we build around it. And so then what we do is we then tie quarterly goals into it. We run off of traction, but really like,   What I see happen so often is the owner doctor feels like they're just like dragging the boat along when they feel like they plateaued, but they don't have the whole team bought into it. And this is actually a question we ask offices when they're coming to work with us is it's your one through 10 year vision. Like how clear is that on a one to 10? And a lot of times you're like, well, I know where I want to go. And I'm like, great. Now does your team know where you want to go? And usually that's where it's fuzzy is the team has no clue. So the doctor really is like, just imagine like, this is how I visualize it. Like these huge chains and I'm holding them and they're like,   pulling this boat and I'm like sluggishly like walking down the beach like trying to pull this boat along versus throw the chains in the boat. So it's not on my back anymore as the owner. I hop in the boat with my team as a team collectively. We know that we're headed to this island at this time. We've got the map. We've got the road map. We've got somebody guiding us if we need to well now like everybody's rowing together right like that's so much easier like even like if you're watching the video you saw my like it's like this like   I don't know, hunched over, exhausted, like trying to pull this whole heavy boat versus like, we're all just rowing and I'm in my seat and I know what I need to row. And well, I guess rowing is not easy. It's much easier than trying to drag and force results. And so with that, a lot of times what I do is teams that do this, I have an office and they sent me a text and I'm like, yeah, remember when you were in our office and you helped us set the goal of hitting, I it was like 350,000 a month. They were like, we were barely producing like,   200 at that time. They're like, there's no way this is going to happen. Four months later, they were breaking 350. And like you went, that's 150,000 added to production. No extra days. Like all we did was we aligned the team to see where we needed to go. And what's crazy is when you get that alignment, well, now your system's become easier. Now the clarity is there. Everybody truly can figure out like where we're going and what our next level is because it's a collective group.   and it's a collective growth and it's a collective mission and effort that we're all headed to. I don't come in and say, you guys should be here. I come in and say, all right, collectively as a team, this is where we are. This is what industry standards are for growth. What do we feel as a team? And now when I'm doing this, also, I don't break it down and say like, all right, you have to add 150,000 a month. Well, no, if you're working 20 days, like I'm literally pulling out my calculator, 150,000 divided by 20 days, that's 7,500 extra a day. Well, 7,500 in dentistry.   is actually pretty easy to produce. And so what things could we do to get there? How could we have each department work on this? So now it becomes not 150,000. It's like, great. How do we add that 7,500? Why are we doing this? What's the purpose behind it? But getting that next level figured out really can help a practice get out of the plateau because now our sites are bigger. We know where we're headed. Then we can figure out our systems. Then we can figure out all the different pieces of like, what is my true ceiling? Am I really maxed out? You get more creative. So   For this, yes, I did these steps this direction, but really I would reverse them if I was listening to this podcast. And step one is I would figure out what my vision is. What's my next level and where do I wanna go? Then I'd look at my systems and what are my systems doing that I need to either add, take away or improve to get me to this next level and then figure out like the ceiling and is my practice truly maxed out or based on my next level vision, what could I do within my practice currently? And I think, yes, it's always fun to go buy a new house or a new car, a new   practice expanded out, but also cashflow wise and business wise and savvy business, if you can make it work where you currently are or just do a few small changes, is that worth it? And does that give it? For some people, they need to go build it. And the next level for them is to build something more dreamy, more fun. And that's like, what's going to ignite them. So everybody has to know what's going to be for you. But really, truly, I believe if you've got this great plan, you've got these pieces in play, it can help you get out of the plateau. It can help you figure out what your next level is.   honest to goodness, a lot of times you do need somebody outside to help you if you're not great at seeing this. And that's okay. I am not good. My husband and walk in a lot of rental properties and real estate properties. And I'm like, I wish I could see the vision on houses like I see in dental practices. When I walk in, I can see what needs to happen. Our consultants can see what needs to happen quickly. Where do I need to the numbers? What do need to do from that? That's something so magical versus like in a house. I'm like,   I don't know, I can't see where to move the walls. And some of you might be able to see in a house very quickly how to renovate it and how to change it. For me, that's not a talent I have. For you, a talent you might not have is being able to see how you can get beyond the plateau of your practice. Here are some tips for you. Hopefully you can take them on and try them out. But really, if you need help, reach out. This is what we do. This is what we do all day long. We've seen multiple practices. We've seen them from five ops. We've seen them up to literally have a practice of 25 ops.   The difference between those two practices and the way they operate in the systems and what we do for the large practices versus what we do for the small practices is pretty similar. Actually, it's very similar of what we do. ⁓ It's just on a different scale and it's growing the smaller practices into the larger practices. So for you growth, truly, I want to remind you isn't luck. It's leadership that has systems and clarity of where to go and what the next step is in the next vision. So if you feel stuck,   You're not failing. You might just need a new vision. You might just need a different perspective. You might need somebody to come in and help you see the gaps that you might not be able to see. And so truly I would love to help you. So reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. This is what we talk about on our practice assessment calls. We talk about where you are, the potential. There is a lot of free consulting on that for you, whether you work with us or not, just to give you what the next step is or what some of the blind spots are in your practice that maybe you didn't see because you're in a day in a day out. I do this for our company.   And it's such a joy and an honor to do it for practices, to be able to help you from someone who's been there, done that and done it successfully over and over and over again.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to discuss all things weight loss weigh-ins as inspired by one of our amazing listener's named Kelsey who left a comment on a recent episode on Spotify regarding how often she should be weighing in. In this, I'm discussing how to approach weigh-ins, how often you should weigh in, when it's appropriate to stop weighing in as frequently or even at all if it's impacting your mental health and how to not let the number on the scale get the best of you according to science. My hope is for you to walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to use weigh-ins to level up your progress without it physically and mentally draining you, or bringing you down… because at the end of the day the goal is to focus on the work – not the weigh in.
