Smith, MD and  Vinod Srihari, MD, Every day, millions of Americans face untreated mental health challenges—and too often, their first point of contact is a medical doctor unequipped to help. Most physicians - and many others who teach and advise youth - aren't trained to recognize or treat mental health conditions, yet they're the ones patients turn to first. This gap in training has devastating consequences, contributing to the mental health crisis we see today.Dr. Robert Smith, a seasoned physician and thought leader, is sounding the alarm: medical doctors need fundamental training in mental health care. His new book, Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? Why Our Mental Health System is Failing Us and What Should Be Done to Cure (Prometheus Books, March 4, 2025) addresses the poor state of mental health care in the US, why it occurred, what needs to be done, and how to accomplish this politically. Our Second Guest, Vinod Srihari, MD, spearheads a new program in CT which has just been expanded to reach the whole state after a trial run in 10 towns around New Haven. STEP is a clinic staffed by mental health providers in different fields – psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work. This "interdisciplinary" team seeks to provide comprehensive care for individuals who are early in the course of a psychotic illness in order to prevent symptoms from becoming disabling.We Find Out:Why so many mental health issues go untreated and misdiagnosed—and what it costs us as a society.The value of early detection and treatment in Mental illness to help with prevention and recoveryHow medical doctors can better address mental health needs with proper training.

In this episode of Hospitals in Focus, we're pulling back the curtain on an often-overlooked  yet truly “critical” aspect of our health care system—the supply chain. It's the backbone of  our hospitals, ensuring that essential medical supplies reach patients in need. But what  happens when that chain breaks? Host Chip Kahn is joined by Ed Jones, President and CEO of HealthTrust Performance  Group, to discuss recent events that exposed vulnerabilities in this intricate network.  Following Hurricane Helene's catastrophic impact on a major manufacturing facility for IV  solutions, hospitals nationwide faced a sudden, alarming shortage. This crisis underscores  that our health care supply chain is a fragile, interconnected network, frequently  dependent on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers. In this episode, Chip and Ed discuss: An introduction to Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), and how they help  hospitals secure reliable supplies at fair prices. Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness: How the COVID-19 pandemic and  Hurricane Helene revealed and accelerated shifts in our supply chain, and what  parallels these events share. The Role of GPOs in Drug Supply: An examination of how GPOs respond to  shortages and their impact on supply and pricing. International Reach and Recovery: How global supply chains influence our health care systems. HealthTrust's Unique Approach: What sets HealthTrust apart from other GPOs in  its approach to building a resilient and cost-effective supply chain. Guest Bio:  As President and CEO of Healthtrust Performance Group, Ed has overall responsibility for a  broad set of capabilities focused on supporting healthcare providers. His primary focus is  providing the strategic direction and leadership of a comprehensive spend management  and performance improvement business based in Nashville, Tennessee. Jones oversees  all dimensions of a $52B portfolio; directs all consulting, managed services and  outsourced relationships/alliances, including accountability for HCA Healthcare supply chain, sourcing contingent labor, facility management and clinical education.Jones' leadership encompasses several HealthTrust/HCA Healthcare business ventures  that strengthen provider performance and competitive advantage, including: HealthTrust Workforce Solutions - The clinical labor staffing and consulting  company including a proprietary program called StaRN (extensive training program  for all new nurses) HCA Healthcare Center for Clinical Advancement - Responsible for providing  continual education for over 90,000 nurses at HCA Healthcare through a team of  approximately 800+ educators and several simulation labs HealthTrust Europe, which provides sourcing and supply chain services to HCA U.K.  and sourcing services to 39 provider trusts in the U.K. HealthTrust Global Sourcing Office in Shanghai, China Galen College of Nursing Group purchasing organization that delivers clinically integrated solutions and  savings across all sites of care He has 40 years of experience within the Healthcare industry, serving in his current role for  the last 11 years and serving previously as the Chief Operating Officer of HealthTrust  Performance Group with responsibility for strategic sourcing, clinical operations, custom  contracting, supplier diversity, and regional operations. Prior to that, Jones served in  several leadership positions within HCA Healthcare for 20 years following front-line roles  at a hospital for seven years. Jones is a founding board member of the Health Sector Supply Chain Research  Consortium, and a member and subcommittee leader of the Federation of American  Hospitals.

In this episode, we explore the often silent battle with sexual and porn addiction.Our guest, Patrick, holds a Master's degree in counseling from Moody Theological Seminary-Michigan, specializing in the intersection of psychology, therapy, and theology. He is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with a focus on sexual addiction since 2020.Patrick is affiliated with various professional organizations such as the American Counseling Association (ACA), AACC Professional Life Coach Certification, Green Cross Member of Traumatology (GCAT), Gottman Level 1 trained, Michigan Counselors Association (MCA), and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC).Today's discussion marks the first part of a two-part series delving into the complexities of porn and sex addiction, topics often brushed aside due to societal taboos. Despite its prevalence, many individuals hesitate to seek help for fear of judgment or ostracization.Statistics from Psychology Today reveal that the average age of first exposure to porn is 13, setting the stage for a potential lifelong struggle. Shockingly, around 80% of men and 30% of women (45% when considering women who watch with their partners) engage with porn on a weekly basis.It's crucial to recognize that sexual and porn addiction is more widespread than commonly acknowledged. Our aim in discussing this issue is to break the silence, provide education, and extend resources to those grappling with this addiction.In my conversation with Patrick we discussWhat causes porn addictionHow to tell if you're a sex addict and or porn addictHow social media affects or promotes porn addictionHow therapy can help with recoveryHow emotions and mental health correlate with compulsive sexual behaviorsHow porn addiction affects romantic relationships and, How faith and religion play a role in recovery Where to find Patrick/resources: https://northpoint.buzzsprout.com/www.northpoint-counseling.comwww.treatsexualaddiction.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-eilers-ma-lpc-csat-310036b9/Instagram: rated_pgeTime stamps: 0:00 Intro/Exploring Porn and Sex Addiction14:02 Understanding Factors Influencing Sexual Behavior20:47 Navigating Relationships and Sexual Addiction26:45 Navigating Betrayal and Trauma in Relationships37:10 Brain Pathways and Overcoming Addictive Behaviors42:06 Understanding Addiction and Triggers54:20 Overcoming Shame and Embracing Identity1:02:11 Outro*IF OUR CONTENT IS VALUABLE TO YOU, PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE SHOW*Instagram: @awordtothewisepodYoutube: A Word To The Wise PodcastEmail: awordtothewisepod@gmail.com

In this episode of In the Circle, we're going to speak about LOVE! What is love? How can we relate to it? Is there a way to cultivate it or connect with it? Love is often confused with excitement, romance, or dependency. Love is not something that depends upon anyone else's opinion, approval, history, or mindset. Love exists as an energy in the universe. And everyone can tap into true love.The presence within you, the spirit within you, the life force within you is pure love, even if, right now, you don't know it.Tommy discussesThe challenge of self-love in recoveryHow to overcome the fear of loveFrequent misconceptions about what love isWhy we must challenge our conventional notions about loveThe true meaning of loveLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?

In this episode of In the Circle, I have the joy of hearing from Haley today who asks an amazingly relevant question—How Do I Navigate Life As A Young Sober Person?Who is my community going to be? Who am I going to get to hang out with? Who will want to hang out with this new version of me? How do I find other people who are interested in health and wellness as a person on a path of discovery? Stepping onto a new path of recovery can be a scary experience, but knowing that you won't have to do it alone makes the journey less intimidating. As you continue through recovery, you start to embrace new experiences. You start to look for new communities and new interests, and find the world as you know it expands.Tommy discussesThere Is Life After AddictionHow to be alone and contentWhy your world expands after recoveryHow to find your community of like-minded peopleFurther Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.

When Julie Merberg returned home from a work trip to find a scale and a pile of baggies on the table, she knew her son's involvement with substances was getting out of control.In the early days of the Hopestream Community, not many people showed up to the group calls I offered to members. Julie and I were the only people who showed up the day I met her, but connecting with her one-on-one in the depths of her crisis was an incredible blessing for me and the entire community.Foreshadowing her current work with Hopestream, Julie had already formed her own neighborhood support group of parents after her 16-year-old son began abusing Xanax and marijuana. As with so many of us, Julie and her husband tried to change their son's behavior with punishment and control but found that it only made him more oppositional and defiant.Three years later, Julie's son has embraced a life of recovery, and they both work to share the wisdom they've gained while getting there. In this episode, we discuss:The importance of trusting your gut when choosing therapy and recoveryHow untreated anxiety was driving Julie's son to self medicate in unhealthy waysWhy parents shouldn't expect to find "the one that works" when it comes to treatment programsAccepting that relapse is often part of the journey to recovery for young peopleHow self-care is also a service to our familiesWhy Julie thinks that the all-or-nothing 12 Step approach doesn't work well for teensResources:CMC:FFCBeyond Addiction bookFree Spirit ExperienceJulie's websiteHazelden Betty Ford Adolescent programTheoppositeofaddiction.substack.comrecoveryworksny.comThe podcast is now part of a nonprofit called Hopestream Community: www.hopestreamcommunity.orgLearn about The Stream, our private online community for moms, at www.hopestreamcommunity.org/the-stream/Find us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload my free e-book, HINDSIGHT: Three Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Misusing Drugs: www.brendazane.com/hindsightJoin my email list: www.brendazane.com/email

Among the red rock cliffs of Sedona, a group of young adults sit together in the Arizona sun, meditating with their roshi - a master instructor in zen tradition. Many of the students have already been through wilderness therapy or other recovery programs. They reside at nearby Red Mountain Sedona, an independent living program where they're learning how to integrate, alongside more traditional therapies, mindfulness practices to create a healthy, productive, and sustainable substance-free life.My guest today is the founder of Red Mountain, Josh White, who is also a clinical mental health counselor, certified group psychotherapist, and second-ranking practitioner of Ten-Chi kenpo in the world. In this episode, we discuss the incredible power that meditation and mindfulness practice can give young people in recovery - stepping outside cravings and impulses, observing them, interrogating them, and allowing them to pass. This conversation will also be my first foray into the issue of eating disorders, which Josh will place in the overall context of addiction. Over the course of this discussion, we'll talk about:How we build the muscles of mindfulnessHow young people today respond to the concept of using mindfulness in their quest for recovery from substance misuseThe difference between meditation and mindfulness, and their individual roles in recoveryHow the isolation of covid and social media are affecting eating disorders and body issues in young peopleThe podcast is now part of a nonprofit called Hopestream Community: www.hopestreamcommunity.orgLearn about The Stream, our private online community for moms, at www.hopestreamcommunity.org/the-stream/Find us on Instagram: @hopestreamcommunityDownload my free e-book, HINDSIGHT: Three Things I Wish I Knew When My Son Was Misusing Drugs: www.brendazane.com/hindsightJoin my email list: www.brendazane.com/email

On this week's episode of In The Circle, James asks a question of great concern to many people as they embark on their journey of discovery in recovery—How can a person with religious or relational trauma find their place in modern-day recovery?Together, James and I highlight the plethora of challenges one can encounter on the road to recovery—from cultural misconceptions to financial barriers, why it's crucial for everyone to take their own unique approach to healing and recovery, and the essential pillars of transformation.This episode stands as guidance for others on their recovery journeys, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself, embracing open-mindedness, and demonstrating resilience in the face of unique challenges. I believe that consistency and truly honoring one's personal journey are the ultimate keys to freedom.Tommy discusses:The cultural misconceptions of alternate recovery methodsThe essential pillars of transformation The importance of open-mindedness and staying true to oneselfThe fine line between conscious surrender and giving away one's powerWhy community is so important in recoveryHow to find a community that supports you and your own, unique pathConnect with TommyInstagramFacebookTikTokAddiction is part of everyone's journey, but recovery is not.

Office investments were supposed to be dead by now. 2020 was supposedly the great exodus, where on-site workers were freed of their commutes, small talk, and trips to the water cooler. We were sold a future where remote work was the only option, where everyone had an at-home standing desk, and nobody needed to wear pants. But, this didn't last long, as companies slowly started taking steps to get workers back into the office, making owners of the offices wealthy once again.But, with so many companies trying flexible schedules, prioritizing work from home, and renewing their video conferencing subscriptions, will office space still be the same as it was just a few years ago? On this month's BiggerNews, we brought on Kevin Fagan, Senior Director and Head of CRE Economic Analysis at Moody's Analytics, to give us the scoop on office investing and commercial real estate in 2022.Kevin's team works diligently going through the data behind office investments, highlighting whether or not leases are renewed, how rents are being affected, and if office buildings are truly being abandoned. He brings some good news not only for office space investors, but for real estate investors as a whole, showing that this niche won't be going away anytime soon. With coworking and residential conversions on the rise, office building investments could be a far smarter move than most investors would assume.In This Episode We Cover:How office space investing fared through the pandemic and how far occupancy rates fellComparing today's office investing environment to 2008's and the stark differences between the twoOffice occupancy forecasting and when the data predicts a full recoveryHow unemployment rates will affect office investors and whether or not employers will force workers back into the officeThe best real estate markets to invest in office space and which big metros to definitely avoidThe benefits of office investing compared to residential real estate and why this low-turnover niche is worth itAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramInvesting in Office Buildings—A Beginner's GuideThe Coming Collapse of Downtown Office Real EstateConnect with Kevin:Kevin's LinkedInClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-682Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
