Podcasts about Providers

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Sullivan Wagner for a raw and powerful conversation about something that's too often ignored—sexual health in the context of cancer. Erin shares her personal experience with anal cancer, and what it was like to navigate the trauma of diagnosis and treatment while also feeling abandoned when it came to intimacy and her sexual well-being. We talk about the gaps in cancer care, especially when it comes to women. Why is it that sexual health is often dismissed or completely left out of the conversation? Erin and I unpack how deeply cultural biases and medical liability fears impact the way sexual health is (or isn't) addressed—especially for women. We also dive into the concept of prehabilitation—starting sexual health conversations before treatment begins—and why it's critical that providers get educated and empowered to offer resources, referrals, and support for their patients. Because survivorship isn't just about staying alive—it's about staying connected to your body, your relationships, and your pleasure. This is the conversation I wish every oncology team would hear. Cancer profoundly affects sexual health, yet it's often ignored. Erin's story is a powerful reminder of the trauma that comes with being left in the dark. There's a huge disconnect in how cancer care approaches female sexuality. Male sexual health gets prioritized—female sexual health, not so much. So many patients feel invisible when it comes to intimacy concerns. These conversations need to happen early, not after damage has been done. Cultural discomfort and medical fear of liability keep people from addressing sex. Women are rarely told what to expect sexually after cancer treatment. Quality of life includes sex, pleasure, and connection. We have to normalize sexual health in survivorship care. When we ignore it, the damage can be long-lasting and irreversible. Emotional intimacy matters as much as physical recovery. Prehabilitation should be standard practice. Providers need training—patients need validation and direction. Advocacy matters. This change starts with conversations like this.

At our Midweek Interactive Service, Pastor Yomi Badejo-Okusanya led a heartfelt conversation in honour of fathers and father figures. We reflected on Genesis 1:28, where God created and blessed man, and were reminded that fathers are called to reflect God's very nature. As carriers of His likeness, fathers are to embody Unconditional Love (Eph 5:25), remain Faithful (Heb 10:23), show Mercy (Matt 5:7), and serve as Providers who care deeply for their families (2 Cor 9:10, Gal 6:1). We declare blessing over all fathers: that they will lead with grace, love with intention, provide with wisdom, and restore with gentleness. May every father mirror the heart of our Heavenly Father and raise a godly generation with boldness and faith.

In this episode of The Pulling Curls Podcast, Hilary welcomes certified nurse midwife Juli Pyle to dive into the topic of informed consent in labor and delivery. Together, they break down what informed consent really means, the key components every patient should know, and how it plays out during childbirth. Juli and Hilary share personal stories from both sides—provider and patient—highlighting why these conversations matter and how they can empower you to make the best choices for your birth experience. Whether you're planning your first delivery or looking to better understand your options, this episode provides practical tips for having more effective, respectful discussions with your care team. Big thanks to our sponsor The Online Prenatal Class for Couples -- if you want to learn to communicate better, it is the class for you! Today's guest is Today's guest is Juli Pyle (she/her) a certified nurse midwife who practices at a community hospital in rural Pennsylvania. Juli was a stay at mom for many years to five children before deciding to return to school to pursue a degree in nursing. She graduated from Colorado Mesa University with a bachelors of science in nursing degree in 2016 and then began her nursing career as a labor and delivery nurse. She quickly discovered that this was her true passion (as she had suspected since having her own children) and quickly gained a reputation for professionalism, compassion and expertise among colleagues and patients. She then returned to Frontier Nursing University to complete a Master's degree in Nursing with an emphasis in midwifery. In 2020, she graduated and began as a certified nurse-midwife at a small community hospital in central Pennsylvania where she has been since that time. Her focus as a CNM is to provide evidence-based education to all birthing families, give true autonomy and informed consent throughout their time with her and to share love, understanding, empathy and true shared-decision making. When not immersed in the birthing world, she enjoys spending time refinishing furniture, gardening, raising and breeding different types of chickens, hiking and vacationing with her family.

There are five main components of informed consent: patient understanding, absence of coercion, full disclosure of risks/benefits/alternatives, the right to decline, and documentation of the discussion. Time pressure, provider biases, and regional/cultural differences often affect how effectively informed consent is communicated in hospitals. Patients are encouraged to ask, at any point, for the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a procedure—it's their right, even for routine interventions. Some medical staff may overwhelm patients with information, while others may inadvertently minimize discussion; finding the right balance to suit each patient is key. Regional culture, age, language, and personal preference play huge roles in how much information patients want or are comfortable with during labor and delivery. Informed consent isn't just for major decisions like C-sections or epidurals—it can and should apply to things like cervical exams and labor positions, even in less formal, conversational ways. Declining a recommended intervention (e.g., breaking water, episiotomy, induction) is absolutely an option for patients, and the birth experience should support their decision, barring emergency situations. The benefits of midwifery care are highlighted, including a more holistic and consistent approach to informed consent and labor support, but ultimately provider style matters more than title. Good communication and shared decision-making between providers and patients help prevent birth trauma and litigation, reinforcing the importance of patients feeling informed and respected during their birth experience.

In this episode, number 322, I sit down with sex therapist Dr. Juliana Hauser for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about her experience with surgical menopause. She opens up about the decision-making process around her hysterectomy—what led her there, what she wishes she'd known beforehand, and how it impacted her physically, emotionally, and sexually. We discuss the importance of thoroughly understanding your hysterectomy options—not all procedures are the same, and having the right information can make a significant difference. Dr. Hauser shares how guided imagery became a key part of her healing process, and we dive into the complicated (and often frustrating) world of hormone therapy. She also brings up the role of doulas—not just for birth, but for menopause—highlighting how emotional support can be just as essential as medical care. We explore why open communication in relationships matters so much, especially when it comes to sexual confidence and intimacy post-surgery. This conversation is raw, real, and full of wisdom for anyone navigating hormonal changes, recovery after hysterectomy, or simply learning to advocate for themselves in a system that doesn't always listen. https://dr-juliana.com/ https://flourishwholehealth.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Order my book⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "You Are Not Broken: Stop "Should-ing" All Over You Sex Life" and ⁠⁠⁠⁠"Menopause Moment: Science, Hormones and Mindset for Optimal Longevity"⁠⁠⁠⁠ Listen to my Tedx Talk: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Why we need adult sex ed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠ To learn more about GennaMD by Solv Wellness, visit ⁠gennaMD.com ⁠for 20% off your first order.

Recently the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission have been going around to meet with several large SDA Providers, and Paramount was one such Provider who welcomed the NDIS Commisson into their office to give industry feedback.In this episode, Minh talks to Kevin Chen, from Paramount Disability Homes, about their recent meeting with the NDIS Commission. Representatives from the NDIA flew into Melbourne to meet Paramount at their Box Hill office to chat about the SDA sector.Historically, the NDIA has not prioritised the SDA sector, focusing more on SIL or Support Coordination. However, the recent 'Cocoon scandal' has prompted them to direct more attention to SDA due to safety concerns. This indicates a positive shift, with the NDIA beginning to delve deeper into this niche sector.Kevin points out a "massive pitfall" in the NDIA's understanding of the SDA market, particularly regarding the financial sector and the process of borrowing for SDA development. He notes that the NDIA seemed unaware of tightening financing issues, mistakenly attributing investment challenges solely to high land costs, and that his team had to shed light on these "blind spots."The NDIA commission was surprised by how advanced the SDA sector has become in a short period. The scheme was not initially designed to anticipate such rapid growth and significant investment from sophisticated investors, developers, and institutions.SDA providers face challenges when contacting the NDIA's general team for queries on funding or delays, often receiving non-specialized feedback. Kevin suggested the crucial need for a dedicated SDA team within the NDIA to provide accurate answers and support, given the industry's rapid growth and niche nature.Kevin's impression is that the NDIA's SDA specialist team is definitely under-resourced and understaffed. The increased volume of SDA properties and claims has led to significant administrative delays, particularly for NDIA-managed cases, indicating a lack of sufficient staff to handle the growing demand.The NDIA didn't understand why it is very hard to get multiple SIL providers under one roof. Despite idealistic guidelines suggesting one SDA provider could manage three SIL providers under one roof, this is practically 'impossible' due to the complexities of funding support workers. Providers avoid such arrangements because they are extremely difficult to manage effectively.https://www.ndiscommission.gov.au/--------------------------------Send us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

While the fall of Roe V. Wade reawakened the abortion debate, training providers has been complicated for decades. Today, we go to one of the remaining training programs to learn how providers are safeguarding reproductive healthcare.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common diagnosis. Yet most behavioral health providers are unaware that they can play a role in both the assessment and treatment of OSA in their patients. Today we're joined by an expert in the subfield of sleep psychology, Dr. Phil Gehrman. He shares basic information about what OSA is, how providers can effectively screen for it, and how they can facilitate treatment for this dangerous condition. Despite what you might have heard before, Dr. Gehrman posits that behavioral health providers can play “a huge potential role that really is untapped.” Dr. Phil Gehrman is Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He directs the Sleep, Neurobiology and Psychopathology lab at Penn. He has an active research program exploring the mechanisms and treatment of sleep and circadian dysregulation in the context of mental health disorders. Dr. Gehrman's clinical specialization is on the delivery of cognitive behavioral and chronotherapeutic interventions for insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disorders. The overarching goal of his work is to advance the understanding of the links between sleep and mental illness through translational research that spans biology to therapeutics.Resources mentioned in this episode: STOP Screening tool for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: https://deploymentpsych.org/content/insomnia-toolsMotivational Interviewing for CPAP Adherence: Rapelli G, Pietrabissa G, Manzoni GM, Bastoni I, Scarpina F, Tovaglieri I, Perger E, Garbarino S, Fanari P, Lombardi C and Castelnuovo G (2021) Improving CPAP Adherence in Adults With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Scoping Review of Motivational Interventions.

Welcome back! In this episode 321, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Tiffany Moon—an anesthesiologist, mom, entrepreneur, and yes, former Real Housewife. We delve into what it truly means to find joy in midlife and how social media often distorts our perception of happiness. Tiffany gets real about the pressure so many professionals—especially women in medicine—feel to "do it all" and how that expectation can lead straight to burnout. We talk about the addiction to busyness, the cultural layers that shape how we view therapy, and the wild (and often hilarious) intersection of medicine and reality TV. We also touch on AI's growing presence in healthcare and what it means to redefine professionalism in today's world. This one's about self-trust, self-acceptance, and not waiting to enjoy your life. Dr. Tiffany brings humor, honesty, and a refreshing dose of perspective to a conversation that every working woman—especially in medicine—needs to hear.

In this episode of Health Talks, we chat with Gorana Micevic, a Physician Assistant at Access Community Health Network in Chciago. Gorana shares her journey from training at SIU School of Medicine to serving both rural and urban communities through family and addiction medicine. She discusses leading a nationally recognized COVID-19 testing program in rural Illinois, completing Rush University's addiction medicine fellowship, and building a patient panel for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).  Gorana offers encouragement for providers who may feel uncertain about treating OUD, and reminds us that education, empathy, and collaboration are key to making an impact.Throughout the episode, Gorana emphasizes the importance of education both for patients and providers. She reflects on how increasing clinician confidence around initiating OUD treatment could reduce barriers to care, and stresses the need for more training programs to include addiction medicine and integrated behavioral health: “I'm a strong believer in the power of integrated behavioral health. Some of the most meaningful progress I've seen with patients has happened alongside behavioral health consultants—professionals trained in trauma, anxiety, depression, and recovery. It's the combination of medical and emotional care that truly transforms outcomes.”

Ary Rosenbaum talks about his new book, Full Circle (coming out June 9th) and lessons that can be learned for 401(k) plan providers.

A coalition of Pennsylvania providers is urging lawmakers to include a $13 million funding increase in the upcoming state budget to support residential rehabilitation services for individuals with traumatic brain injuries. If approved, the state investment would unlock an additional $17 million in federal Medicaid matching funds, bringing the total to $30 million.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast episode, we're joined by Stacy Agosto, a Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorders Consultant at IPHCA.

She also offers practical tips and real-world resources that healthcare providers can share with patients and their families, along with inspiring stories of recovery where community made the difference.

Send us a textProviders, let's challenge the standard 6-week checkup and the conversation around "default birth control". What if it's not just "standard care" but a MAJOR factor in the rise of postpartum depression and anxiety we're seeing? Is hormonal birth control a silent driver of postpartum depression and anxiety? It's time to connect the dots. New research links hormonal birth control postpartum to increased maternal mental health risks. Understanding the biological reality of postpartum, including postpartum brain rewiring, shows why synthetic hormones disrupt a healing body. This is a call to action for anyone supporting new mothers. For postpartum providers and perinatal mental health professionals focused on holistic support and evidence-based care, this knowledge is essential for informed consent and optimizing postpartum recovery. Check out this episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-link-between-hormonal-birth-control-and-postpartum-depression-ep-218/Key Time Stamps: 2:37 hormonal birth control postpartum and mental health3:34 Key finding: 49% increased postpartum depression risk linked to hormonal contraception5:12 Highlighting birth control as default postpartum care.6:48 Diving into the biological reasons behind the link.7:52 The complex postpartum body state: hormones, nutrients, sleep, inflammation.11:48 Synthetic hormones interfere with delicate postpartum healing.13:11 Exploring postpartum brain rewiring and changes.15:26 How hormonal birth control can alter brain structure/function.17:14 The "neurological collision" of postpartum brain changes and birth control.20:34 Lack of provider training in postpartum brain science and hormone impacts.25:07 Systemic issue: medicating women through a sacred transformation.27:56 What holistic postpartum care and informed consent should look like instead.31:09 The need for ongoing postpartum support (recovery takes years!).NEXT STEPS:

  In this insightful episode, Kim Barrus, AVP of Quality and Accreditation at Select Health, shares three compelling case studies showcasing how her team is improving care access, streamlining provider engagement, and addressing health disparities across four states. Kim walks us through:   A groundbreaking hybrid clinic model in rural Nevada, created in partnership with the city of Wells and Intermountain Health, to bring primary, urgent, and behavioral care to medically underserved communities. The development of Select Health's Quality Provider Plus Program, which consolidates risk adjustment and quality initiatives into a unified, less burdensome experience for provider partners—improving data sharing, reporting, and overall engagement. A remote blood pressure monitoring initiative targeting rural members with hypertension, using disparity analytics to identify high-need populations and improve outcomes through education, mailed BP cuffs, and clinician collaboration.   If you're exploring ways to improve access to care, streamline provider relationships, and address social and geographic health disparities—this session is a must-listen.   This session was part of the the Healthcare Engagement Virtual Summit: Strategies for Plans to Engage Consumers and Providers on May 8, 2025, co-sponsored by Bright Spots in Healthcare, TytoCare and Navina.

Christine Lee, Head of Health Strategy and Partnerships at AnalyticsIQ, focuses on helping healthcare brands and pharmaceutical companies better understand and engage with healthcare providers by taking into account data beyond their professional lives. This data-driven Provider as a Person approach analyzes the healthcare professional's personal characteristics, outside interests, decision-making style, and preferred method of communication. The goal is to foster more meaningful relationships with providers, address provider burnout, and improve patient outcomes.   Christine explains, "We're coming into play here in supporting healthcare brands and better understanding the providers as people. As I mentioned, we're a people-based data company. I'd say that in an era where data is abundant and there is no shortage of health data being gathered and analyzed. So, you've got a lot of data assets out there that are coming from clinical trials, your real-world evidence, claims data, your electronic health records, all of which give insight into the aspects of a provider from a clinical setting. Traditionally, healthcare providers have been viewed primarily through the lens of their professional lives, their specialties, their role in patient care, prescription-writing behaviors, and even their affiliations. And these are super important factors. We do see those truly as table stakes, but they paint an incomplete picture."   "Providers, like patients, have unique lives, needs, and preferences, which really shape how they interact with the work they do and the brands they seek to engage with. The industry is really recognizing these nuances, which presents a unique opportunity for healthcare brands to acknowledge the complexity of the providers' lives beyond what you could say are their white coat moments, and differentiate their message. And so this can dig into driving more meaningful engagement. And for us here at AnalyticsIQ, we're focused on helping to understand healthcare providers, or HCPs, more broadly, and understanding some of their personal characteristics. So, the data we're bringing to the table to complement all the other data in the ecosystem will be things like considering their work-life balance." #AnalyticsIQ #HealthcareData #HealthcareAnalytics #HealthTech #HCPengagement #PatientExperience #ValueBasedCare #PersonalizedCare #HealthEquity #SDOH #HealthcarePrivacy #PatientData analytics-iq.com Listen to the podcast here

We have a special guest on today's episode whose voice will be familiar to regular listeners. Last year at this time, Dr. Raven Baxter occupied the Raise the Line host chair for a special ten-part series we produced in collaboration with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness (CoRe) at Mount Sinai in New York City, where she serves as the Director of Science Communication. The series explored the latest understandings of post-acute infection syndromes -- such as Chronic Lyme and Long COVID -- with an array of experts from the Center and other researchers and providers. In this episode, we check-in with Dr. Baxter to get an update on the work of the Cohen Center, especially with regard to its mission to educate providers. “We're building programs so that clinicians can earn credit for learning about chronic illnesses that are infection associated, and we've also developed a 200-page provider manual. I really think that we will be able to shift the narrative that currently exists,” Dr. Baxter tells host Michael Carrese. That narrative includes lingering skepticism among providers of some infection-associated illnesses, which Dr. Baxter witnessed herself as a Long COVID patient, an experience that has added meaningful perspective to her work. Dr. Baxter is also working on her own time to advance knowledge and combat misinformation through a robust social media presence as “The Science Maven” and helps other scientists and clinicians to do the same. "If we're not there to fill in that void, other people will fill it for us and the narrative may not be consistent with the truth or facts." This is a great opportunity to learn about the art and science of communications that can reach clinicians and patients alike.Mentioned in this episode:Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic IllnessThe Science Maven If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Hey friends! In this episode, I'm joined by the amazing Dr. Heather Quaile, DNP, as we dive into all things ISSWSH — that's short for the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (try saying that five times fast). We talk about how this incredible organization has exploded in size and why that matters for women everywhere. We get into the power of staying curious in sexual medicine, why funding research is still such a grind, and how hormones — yes, especially testosterone — play a huge role in sexual function. Heather and I also share some of our favorite takeaways from recent ISSWSH conferences, like new ways of looking at orgasm and sexual dysfunction that actually make sense. We don't shy away from the hard stuff either — off-label meds, outdated guidelines, and the frustrating lack of clarity around hormone therapy. But more than anything, this convo is about how we, as healthcare professionals, need to collaborate and push for change that reflects real women's needs.

When someone accused of a crime is found unable to aid and assist in their own defense, they are sent to the Oregon State Hospital for an evaluation. After that, they often need to spend time at a residential treatment center until they are fit to stand trial. A new rule from the Oregon Health Authority requires residential treatment facilities in the state to accept those patients ahead of any who might be on their waiting list, setting aside their normal admissions standards. Attorneys for the Oregon Council for Behavioral Health and six residential treatment providers filed a petition with the Oregon Court of Appeals to block that rule.  We hear from Heather Jefferis, executive director of the Oregon Council for Behavioral Health, about the challenges faced by behavioral health providers in Oregon.

Title X, under the Public Health Services Act, allows for a family planning and reproductive health-based pool of funding that government agencies and nonprofits can apply for and use to support patients. Providers who receive Title X funding see all patients regardless of insurance status and income level. Clare Coleman, President and CEO of the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), sits down to talk with us about the recent and extremely harmful changes to Title X announced by the new administration.At the beginning of April 2025, the government announced the withholding of 22 Title X awards. These awards, given consistently to projects who are years into their research, were rescinded with one day's notice. On an annual basis, this impacts about $66 million in Title X funds-- about a quarter of all Title X grants. As of today, there are no Title X funded services in eight states, and 15 other states have lost either some or most of their Title X funding. About 842,000 people were served under these grants, and the number of health centers that are affected totals 865. These changes will impact access to care (particularly for young people and those with low incomes), affordability, and contraceptive choice.For more information check outThe Nocturnists: https://thenocturnists.org/Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

In this episode, we took a deep breath—literally—and talked about something we all tend to overlook: mouth breathing in kids. It's not just a quirky habit or something they'll "outgrow." It's often the very first red flag that the body is struggling, and if we don't catch it early, it can quietly snowball into sleep issues, behavioral problems, and even developmental delays. We started by diving into how disconnected our healthcare system is—dentists look at teeth, pediatricians look at growth, ENTs look at infections—but no one is zooming out to ask: How are they breathing? Is their tongue resting correctly? Are their lips closed at rest? Then we explored three major truths that most providers don't talk about: We don't screen the mouth like it matters—things like tongue posture, tethered oral tissues, and lip strength get missed. The body compensates until it can't—kids may seem “fine,” but mouth breathing, poor sleep, and behavioral struggles are often signs of a deeper dysfunction. No one provider has the full picture—which means we as parents have to become the connectors and advocates. I got personal about my own daughter's journey—how I missed these signs despite working in dentistry—and how that heartbreak turned into purpose. That's why I created the SHIFT Method: a roadmap for parents to spot red flags early, ask better questions, and take action before it becomes a crisis. We wrapped up with a call to action: it's time to stop waiting for diagnoses and start listening to the body's signals. Tantrums, snoring, picky eating—these aren't random quirks. They're clues. And when we shift our perspective, everything else can shift too. Key Takeaways: -Mouth breathing reduces oxygen intake by 18% during sleep—yes, 18%!-It's not normal—just common—and common doesn't mean healthy.-Providers often “stay in their lane,” so parents must become the advocates.-Early signs like bedwetting, snoring, or dark under-eye circles are worth investigating.-One simple shift—like encouraging nose breathing at night—can make a huge difference. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

More than two years after the pandemic-era Medicaid continuous enrollment provision ended, millions of eligible patients are without coverage, creating a crisis for hospitals and healthcare systems that rely on Medicaid reimbursement dollars. Adding to the strain on providers, Medicare physician payments have been cut for the fifth consecutive year. Compounding these challenges, the number of patients presenting as self-pay or on high-deductible health plans (HDHP) continues to grow. Uninsured, self-pay, and high-deductible patients take longer to pay — if they pay — and have a higher risk of write-off. What can providers do to protect their financial health? Listen to the podcast to hear RCM optimization experts discuss five proven tips for improving revenue capture, even in the most challenging of times. Providers will learn how to optimize reimbursement, reduce administrative burden, and improve the patient's financial experience. This episode is sponsored by ZOLL.

This episode is from an interview I did with Dr. Shawna Watts while in Austraila for her podcast, "All About You With Dr. Shawna Watts" This conversation delves into the complexities of menopause, hormone therapy, and the societal perceptions surrounding them. We discuss the misconceptions about menopause, the evolutionary perspective, and the naturalistic fallacy that often leads women to avoid hormone replacement therapy. We also explore the stigma surrounding men's health issues, particularly testosterone treatment, and the importance of education in making informed choices about hormone therapy. Additionally, the discussion touches on interstitial cystitis, bladder cancer risk factors, and the benefits of rucking for women's health. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the complexities of women's sexual health, focusing on libido, the impact of menopause, and the societal pressures surrounding body image and sexual desire.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with James Swanwick, alcohol-free advocate and entrepreneur, to unravel the truth about alcohol's impact on our health, relationships, and society. With 15 years of alcohol-free living under his belt, James shares how choosing not to drink isn't about loss—it's about liberation. Together, they explore the deeply ingrained cultural narratives that glamorize alcohol and the neuroscience behind why our brains keep reaching for that next drink. From celebrity endorsements to outdated health myths, James and Kelly challenge the illusion that alcohol equals a good life. This conversation is packed with truth bombs, science, and personal insight into why being alcohol-free can unlock clarity, presence, and purpose—especially for high achievers and anyone craving a more fulfilling life. What You'll Learn: Why “alcohol-free” is a powerful choice—not a limitation How cultural conditioning has normalized drinking from a young age The truth about alcohol and brain degeneration The real story behind alcohol and heart health myths How dopamine drives alcohol cravings The link between alcohol and dementia, anxiety, and relational breakdowns Why more high performers are choosing sobriety for clarity and focus How to confidently navigate social events without alcohol The role of community in embracing a sober-curious or alcohol-free lifestyle Why societal change around alcohol is already happening Key Takeaways: Alcohol-free is a choice, not a lamentation. No amount of alcohol is beneficial for your health. Drinking can disrupt relationships, performance, and mental clarity. Alcohol is a drug—marketed as a reward but loaded with consequences. Society is slowly waking up to the truth: we don't need alcohol to celebrate, connect, or succeed.
