In this episode, we explore how to support steady blood sugar during the holiday season using Ayurvedic wisdom. With more sugar, irregular meals, travel, and stress during the holidays, it's easy for the body's metabolic fire (agni) to become overwhelmed. Ayurveda offers practical, gentle tools to keep digestion strong, cravings balanced, and energy steady. We take a deeper look at the pancreas as a home of agni and how its function relates to three key subdoshas: Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha, and Samana Vayu. You'll learn how these forces work together to regulate metabolism, mood, and digestive rhythm and why sugar crashes are both a physical and emotional imbalance. You'll also discover: Why holiday habits disrupt blood sugar How sugar cravings form from an Ayurvedic standpoint Simple remedies for sugar crashes Spices that naturally support metabolic balance Eating rhythms and lifestyle tools that strengthen agni Practices to prevent toxins (ama) and emotional overload during the festive season Whether you struggle with cravings, energy dips, or digestive heaviness this time of year, this episode offers grounded, practical support to help you stay balanced through the holidays.

Are you about to become invisible in the new era of dental marketing and AI? In this episode, Dr. Anissa Broussard shares how she went from a small island practice in Jamaica to leading a top dental marketing and AI agency built by a dentist, for dentists. If you're tired of being the best-kept secret in your city, this conversation is your roadmap.Dental marketing for dentists has shifted dramatically, and practices now need more than traditional dental marketing or basic dental practice marketing to stay competitive. Working with a specialized dental marketing agency can help dentists implement modern strategies like AI dental marketing, social media for dentists, and funnels for dentists—all designed to attract the right patients and create predictable dental practice growth. These tools make it easier to connect with people, build trust, and grow my dental practice without relying on discounts or outdated tactics.In today's landscape, marketing for dentists must include intelligent systems, automation, and platforms like ChatGPT for dentists to streamline communication and increase conversions. Leaders such as Dr. Anissa Broussard and her agency Digital Floss are setting the standard for what effective, authentic, and future-proof dental marketing looks like. By combining brand storytelling, omnichannel content, and AI-driven optimization, dentists can elevate their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and drive sustainable growth in any market.Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 Intro & why this conversation matters for dentists00:56 Who is Dr. Anissa?

Digging into how while meditation and mindfulness practices can enhance our ability to self regulate and improve our self-compassion, they are not helpful for everyone.  This level of internal focus can bring on panic attacks, anxiety and enhanced trauma responses causing us to escalate in behaviors which are meant to keep us safe. 

Join us beginning this January as we explore how to keep your faith simple in just 5 minutes a day. Not over complicated, simple faith is a great way to start each day. And don't forget to bring a friend!Life can often feel overwhelming with constant notifications, the demands of work, and family obligations. Many of us equate peace with having no problems, but life doesn't work that way. Control over circumstances doesn't bring peace; it brings chaos. The peace offered by the world is conditional and fragile, but the peace Jesus offers transcends circumstances. Jesus' peace, referred to as 'shalom,' represents wholeness, completeness, and harmony. This peace doesn't eliminate chaos but sustains us within it. To experience this peace, one must surrender control, stay present, and seek God's presence. The peace of God guards our hearts and minds, acting as a sentinel against anxiety and fear. As we light the second Advent candle, the candle of peace, we remember that Jesus came to be our peace in imperfect situations.00:00 The Chaos of Modern Life00:50 Redefining Peace02:32 Jesus' Promise of Peace03:38 The Meaning of Shalom04:24 Experiencing Peace in the Storm05:19 Practices to Cultivate Peace07:42 Conclusion: Embracing Peace

In this episode, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Paul Lynch, a double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, entrepreneur, and business leader. Dr. Lynch shares his remarkable journey from aspiring psychiatrist to pain medicine innovator—a shift inspired by his mother-in-law's battle with cancer and the discovery of interventional pain treatments that could transform patients' lives. His early experiences at the Mayo Clinic shaped his belief in comprehensive, integrated care—a philosophy that became the foundation for his first practice, Arizona Pain, which quickly became one of the nation's leading pain management centers. Dr. Lynch details how entrepreneurial thinking, coupled with strategic use of digital tools, drove his success. His story of launching a medical website during fellowship—eventually ranking number one on Google before opening his doors—illustrates how physicians can use education-based marketing to reach patients and grow responsibly. As his career evolved, Dr. Lynch founded U.S. Pain Care, intentionally designed to avoid the mistakes of his first venture. Through introspection and what he calls his "Manifesto of 53 Errors," he now builds companies around lessons learned, focusing on empowering other physicians with ownership, autonomy, and ethical profitability. The discussion also delves into real estate, private equity, and long-term business strategy in medicine. Dr. Lynch explains how owning medical real estate can be one of the most impactful and ethical ways for physicians to build wealth—separate from clinical care—highlighting the benefits of property ownership, long-term leasing, and physician-owned REITs. He closes with advice to doctors: never make fortunes "on the backs of patients." Instead, focus on providing excellent care while building wealth through smart business decisions, integrity, and surrounding yourself with expert advisors in law, finance, and real estate.

The STAR Study is the largest and most ethnically diverse atropine study to date, evaluating 0.01% and 0.03% atropine versus placebo in more than 800 children across three countries.

We check the markets often—but how often do we check our hearts? Most of us approach investing with calculators, not character. Yet Scripture calls us to a deeper way. What if investing isn't just a financial activity but a spiritual practice—one that shapes who we're becoming?Tim McCready, Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight (part of the Eversource Wealth Advisors team), has been helping both Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi develop a theological framework for investing that aligns our portfolios—and our hearts—with God's purposes. His recent work explores how timeless spiritual disciplines can transform how believers think about investing.Why Investing Requires a Spiritual LensTim begins with Jesus' words in Matthew 6: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That's not just a warning—it's an insight into spiritual formation.“Our investment decisions aren't just a reflection of faithfulness,” Tim says. “They're shaping who we're becoming as we seek to be like Jesus.”When we invite God into our investment decisions, investing becomes more than strategy—it becomes worship. It becomes one more place where we ask God to form us into faithful stewards.The Ignatian Prayer of Examen—For InvestorsOne of the most compelling ideas Tim introduces is applying the historic Ignatian prayer of examen to our portfolios.For centuries, believers have ended their day with this reflective practice—examining God's presence, confessing sin, noticing grace, and preparing for tomorrow.Tim suggests: What if investors practiced something similar?Rather than viewing portfolios strictly through analysis or performance, the examen helps us approach them with discernment, surrender, and spiritual attentiveness.Step One: GratitudeGratitude quiets the noise and recenters us on God's generosity. Before looking at performance or market movements, Tim encourages investors to pause and thank God for His provision.It might sound something like:“Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You've entrusted to me—including my investment portfolio. Speak to me about my stewardship, challenge me, and remind me of Your faithfulness as I draw near to You.”Gratitude reframes everything. It reminds us that portfolios are gifts to steward—not trophies to admire nor securities to cling to.Step Two: ReviewJust as the daily examen invites believers to review their day, the investing examen invites us to review each line of our portfolio with prayerful reflection.This simple discipline lifts our eyes beyond numbers to the impact our investments have on people, communities, and the world.As Tim notes, “We may find both joy and conviction—joy where God is pleased, and invitation where He's calling us to change.”Step Three: Repentance and RenewalThis is where the examen moves from reflection to transformation.Perhaps we discover that we've placed too much security in our portfolio. Perhaps a certain investment feels misaligned with God's desires. Perhaps God prompts us toward greater generosity.Repentance helps us acknowledge these areas honestly—and renewal invites us to receive God's forgiveness and step forward in faith.A simple prayer might be:“Gracious Provider, rule over every part of my life, including my investments. Forgive me for trusting wealth over You. Give me courage to act where You lead, and joy in following Your plan for my life.”This step reorients our trust away from the market and back toward the One who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)Step Four: Community and AccountabilityThough investing can feel private, it was never meant to be isolated.We grow best in community. Sharing a budget or portfolio with a trusted friend or mentor is humbling—but powerful. Accountability exposes blind spots, clarifies values, and encourages faithfulness.Whether through a small group, a stewardship class, or a community like the FaithFi app, transparency invites God's wisdom through God's people.Step Five: Fasting from Market NoiseWe live in an era of constant market updates, by the day, hour, and minute. Tim points out that this flood of data gives the illusion of control while feeding anxiety.A spiritual practice of “fasting” from market noise—checking less often, turning off notifications, stepping back from constant updates—helps us rest in God's provision instead of reacting to every market swing.Jesus' question echoes here: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27) Or, as Tim puts it, “add a single cent to your portfolio?”Step Six: ServiceSpiritually formed investors naturally turn outward. Financial experience is a gift meant to serve others—whether through mentoring, teaching budgeting, serving on a church finance committee, or helping younger believers develop healthy habits.Service transforms stewardship from something we manage to something we multiply.A Holistic Vision of Faithful InvestingWhen we bring together gratitude, review, repentance, community, fasting, and service, we begin to see investing not as a sterile financial exercise but as a rhythm of worship.“Investing is faithfulness,” Tim reminds us. “It forms us. It shapes us as disciples. A biblical approach to investing isn't measured only by returns, but by spiritual formation.”In other words, investing becomes a way to follow Jesus. A biblical worldview of investing doesn't start with performance—it begins with the heart. When we invite God into our investing, He uses even financial decisions to form us into the likeness of Christ.May our portfolios—and our hearts—reflect the One who has entrusted everything to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I worked hard to raise my credit score to about 730, but a miscommunication with my student loan led to a late payment and brought it down to 548.

In this season-finale episode of The Burleson Box, Dustin Burleson is joined by longtime collaborator and digital marketing pioneer Jimmy Nicholas for a wide-ranging conversation on how artificial intelligence is actively reshaping dentistry and orthodontics.Their story goes back more than a decade to the Dan Kennedy GKIC days, a marketer-of-the-year competition, and the early experiments that turned Google into one of Dustin's top sources of new patients. Now, after selling his agency and sitting out a non-compete, Jimmy returns with a new focus on AI, compliance, automation, and what he calls “simple alignment” across marketing, operations, and team communication.This conversation moves well past surface-level AI hype.

This is Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Zwade Marshall and the final episode for a while as Dr. Disha begins a new chapter, opening her own Direct Primary Care practice. Dr. Zwade Marshall is an Emory and Harvard trained anesthesiologist, interventional pain specialist, CMO of Regenerative Spine and Pain Specialists, and co-founder and CEO of Doc2Doc Lending, a lending platform created by doctors for doctors. In this closing installment, Dr. Marshall explains what it truly means for physicians to make empowered decisions when opening, financing, and building their own practice. He shares the financial pitfalls many doctors overlook, the importance of understanding market demographics, and how tools such as Tenant Improvement Allowance and ownership-based tax benefits can significantly shape long-term wealth for private practice physicians. If you are planning to open a clinic, transition into DPC, or simply want to understand practice financing more clearly, this episode offers practical guidance that medical training rarely covers. Key Topics Covered: 1. How empowered doctors make empowered decisions Why physicians must learn to evaluate risk, financing, long-term ROI, and operational decisions with the same confidence they use in clinical care—and how that mindset shift changes everything. 2. Financing your own medical practice Understanding budget allocations, startup capital, cost projections, and what you should (and shouldn't) take on debt for when building your practice from scratch. 3. The Market Demographic Survey What a demographic report actually tells you, how it affects patient volume and payer mix, and why it's one of the most critical early steps in choosing your practice location. 4. Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA) What TIA is, how landlords use it to attract medical tenants, how much you can negotiate, and how it reduces upfront buildout costs for new practice owners. 5. Why owning your medical practice building is a long-term wealth strategy The tax benefits, equity growth, and stability that come with being your own landlord—and why many physicians only realize these advantages too late in their careers. 6. Financing (How do doctors get capital?) Especially when they don't have revenue yet. Listener Takeaways: The mindset shifts required to become an empowered, financially confident physician How to allocate budget and financing when opening a practice Why demographic surveys are essential for choosing the right location How Tenant Improvement Allowances work and how to negotiate them The long-term tax benefits and wealth advantages of owning your practice property How platforms like Doc2Doc support physicians with smarter, physician-centered lending Real-world financial advice every doctor should know before launching a private practice or DPC model Connect with Us: Host: Dr. Disha Spath, The Frugal Physician Guest: Dr. Zwade Marshall, CEO of Doc2Doc Lending   This episode is brought to you by Doc2Doc Lending.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker explores the research on birthing positions and tried-and-true midwifery practices for protecting the perineum during childbirth. She explains why the flat-on-your-back position we often see on television isn't ideal and walks through the key differences between upright, sacrum-flexible positions, and common hospital practices like lithotomy and routine episiotomies.   Dr. Dekker reviews data from global research as well as real-world wisdom from midwives, including the extraordinary outcomes of hands-off, undisturbed birth approaches in the Philippines. She uncovers how hospital system pressures, caregiver convenience, and even obstetric violence drive the overwhelming use of recumbent positions and invasive interventions while sidelining evidence-based, patient-centered care. You'll hear firsthand strategies for minimizing severe tears, promoting intact perineums, and advocating for birth plans that prioritize the autonomy and comfort of birthing people.   Content Warning: Discussion of tears of the vagina, severe tears from the vagina to the rectum, obstetric violence related to episiotomies, and being forced giving birth on your back.   Resources For a full list of resources, visit: ebbirth.com/221 Watch the video version here on our YouTube channel which includes study breakdowns and PowerPoint slides.

Part 1: Be Kind to Yourself When the world keeps showing us injustice, violence and oppression —  caring for yourself (your body, your emotions, your nervous system) becomes necessary. In the first episode of this powerful series, I share: HOW I've been deepening my self‑care over the past year — not because I necessarily wanted to, but because life has required it. I walk you through my real personal examples of what it's looked like to deepen my self-care, instead of sabotaging. HOW: after decades of coping with emotional eating, stress eating and self‑sabotage — I am now able to chose something different. Practices that actually support me. WHY being kind to yourself (self‑kindness) matters so much right now: because our nervous systems are already on high alert. Harsh self‑criticism only activates more stress, while compassion and kindness stabilize, soothe, and create emotional safety. Listen In and Walk Away With: A deeper understanding for exactly how deeper self‑care isn't a luxury, it's essential — especially when there's a lot you're processing, navigating and holding. Permission to BE KIND to yourself — and to stop treating yourself like a machine, especially when life is demanding so much. A model for compassionate coping that doesn't rely on food, numbing, or self‑sabotage — but on intentional practices and deeper care. Emotional safety: knowing that you're not alone, that fear and grief are valid — and you deserve care, kindness, and real support as you navigate this time. This isn't self-care fluff. It's much needed medicine. Press play. Give yourself the care and support you deserve. xo Brenda

In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my absolute favorite teachers, Bibi Brauschka, for her third time on the podcast. So many of you have reached out asking for her to come back, so here we are.   We're going deep into something I've been exploring for over a decade—tantra, sexuality, sensuality, and how to weave it all together as a sacred practice. Not just with a partner, but with ourselves.   This conversation is about reclaiming that. And Bibi is debuting her brand-new system here on the podcast: The Erotic Spectrum—5 different types of sexual energy that correspond with our chakras and elements.   We explore: ✨ The 5 genres of lovemaking and how to embody each one

S9 E5 — There is a lot of conversation right now about the role of women and men in society. Whether we're talking about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal or the viral essay "The Great Feminization" and all the commentary it sparked, it's clear we're in a cultural moment where we don't quite know how to talk about men and women. Should we see men and women as interchangeable? What does equality look like when our bodies are not the same? Can we admit our neediness and maintain our dignity as women or as men? These are some of the questions I'm asking Leah Libresco Sargeant as we talk about her new book, The Dignity of Dependence.00:00 The World is the Wrong Shape for Women6:14 The Lie of Autonomy and How It Harms Everyone21:09 Building a Just Society: Dismantling False Anthropology22:52 Understanding Disability and Unemployment25:43 Societal Examples of Dependent Communities30:15 The Dignity of Dependence32:51 Legacy of Care in Society38:20 The Costs of Devaluing Vulnerability41:14 Practices for Embracing DependenceMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto by Leah Libresco SargeantSara Hendren's What Can a Body DoAmy Julia's interview with Sara Hendren: Who Belongs?

Send us a textIn a sector where women make up the majority of the workforce, why are women still under-represented in the seats of power in medical groups?That's the question we're digging into today. Because while it's no secret that healthcare has long depended on the contributions of women—as physicians, nurses, administrators, and operational leaders—the top roles still tend to skew male. And when you take a close look at medical groups, especially larger ones, the imbalance becomes even clearer.But this isn't just a fairness issue. This is a strategic issue. Promoting more women into leadership roles is one of the smartest things a medical group can do. It strengthens decision-making, improves communication, builds healthier teams, and creates a culture of resilience. Today, we'll explore why.We're going to cover a lot of ground: the traditional gender imbalance, the advantages of gender-diverse leadership, how men and women often lead differently, how those styles complement each other, why compensation and negotiation matter, and how remote work might help level the playing field. We'll also touch on what the future could look like if medical groups commit to equity—not just in theory, but in practice.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's episode, our host, Allie Brooke, sits down with  amazing Brigette Panetta. Brigette has emerged as a powerful advocate for individuals facing social injustice and adversity. As the partner of James Mawhinney, founder of Media.com, Brigette has personally experienced the profound challenges of fighting against a government body. Over the past four years, she has witnessed the severe impact of Australia's corporate regulator, ASIC's, false allegations on her family's investment business, Mayfair 101. This ordeal has deeply affected Brigette, her young family, and the lives of nearly 600 Australians. Her journey began under extraordinary circumstances—two days after giving birth during the onset of the pandemic, Brigette found herself in the ICU, recovering from a traumatic birthing experience while simultaneously supporting James through 26 legal hearings. The struggle resulted in losing their family home and enduring significant personal and professional setbacks. Despite these hardships, Brigette's resilience has driven her to speak out and assist others in similar predicaments.

In the second half of Lauryn's conversation with marketing expert Ryan Rieder, they shift from lead behavior and AI into a bigger, more powerful discussion: what the future of marketing will actually look like. As AI becomes standard and consumer behavior continues to evolve, funnels are losing their influence, trust is becoming the currency, and personal brand is emerging as the most important marketing strategy for practice owners. This episode explores how community, authenticity, and consistent human connection are reshaping how people make decisions in 2027 and beyond.Lauryn and Ryan break down the rise of the “messy middle,” why reactivations are increasing with print newsletters, how workshops and in-person experiences are changing, and why being known, liked, and trusted will matter more than any ad strategy. If Part 1 explained why lead behavior has changed, Part 2 dives into what to do next—and how to position your clinic and brand for the new era of marketing.Key Takeaways:The strongest marketing strategy of the future is community, not funnels. As consumers become more skeptical of being sold to, trust, belonging, and personal brand will outperform traditional lead-generation tactics.The “messy middle” explains today's nonlinear buying behavior. People now require multiple platforms, repeated exposures, and varied touchpoints before making a decision—making consistency more important than conversion tricks.Print newsletters and human connection are making a comeback. Physical, tangible touchpoints create unusually strong recall and retention, especially in a digital world saturated with automated content.AI will streamline tasks, but authenticity will be the differentiator. Practices that pair AI efficiency with genuine, relatable human presence will dominate the next phase of patient engagement and brand loyalty.About the Guest:Ryan Rieder is a leading marketing strategist and CEO specializing in lead generation, AI-driven systems, and high-volume patient acquisition for chiropractic and healthcare clinics.

When gratitude feels distant, gently notice what's here now— creating space for both heaviness and small moments of appreciation.How To Do This Practice: Get Comfortable: Sit upright or lie down. Whatever feels most supportive. Then soften your gaze or close your eyes. Take Three Slow Breaths: Let your body begin to settle. Feel the tension release a little more with each exhale. Notice How You're Feeling: Without changing anything, simply acknowledge what's present—tiredness, frustration, numbness, ease—whatever it is. Make Space for What's Hard: Recognize that the world can feel heavy. It's okay to hold grief, anger, or stress. You don't have to push it away. Gently Notice the Present Moment: Shift your attention to something neutral: your breath, your feet on the floor, the air on your skin. Just observe. Look for One Small Thing to Appreciate: Ask: Is there anything, however small, I can be thankful for right now? A warm cup of coffee, a slower breath, the fact that you showed up.

In this episode of "Swallow Your Pride," host Theresa Richard brings together a panel of NIH-funded researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to unpack the complexity of diagnosing and treating motor speech disorders after left-hemisphere stroke. Theresa Richard guides a conversation that demystifies the overlap between apraxia of speech, dysarthria, and aphasia, highlights the challenges clinicians face in acute and subacute care, and introduces innovative assessment tools designed to bring more objectivity and clarity to real-world practice. The team shares emerging findings, practical insights for SLPs across the continuum of care, and a look at how new perceptual and acoustic measures may shape the future of stroke-related speech assessment.
