Are you constantly keeping the peace with others while fighting a silent war within yourself?In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, we dive deep into the hidden physical and emotional costs of chronic people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and emotional suppression. Many of us learned early in life that being agreeable was the only way to stay safe, loved and accepted. But what served as a childhood survival strategy often transforms into adulthood self-abandonment, leaving us exhausted, resentful and physically depleted. We often attribute chronic stress to busy schedules or workloads, but the stress of editing who you are and swallowing your truth takes a massive toll on your nervous system and physiology. Your body keeps score.

Most nursing home administrators don't realize they're sitting on one of the most underutilized revenue streams in all of Medicare — and until someone shows up and tells them what it's worth, they never will. In this episode, Scott Middleton — founder and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health — calls in from the road as he travels across rural Georgia on a multi-day facility tour, fresh off completing a major merger with TCPA. What follows is an unfiltered, on-the-ground breakdown of two transformational opportunities Scott is actively building: chronic care management (CCM) reimbursement and ACO cost savings — and the very specific reasons most of the industry is getting both wrong. In this episode, you'll hear: Why Medicare already pays $65/hour for care management performed by nurses, community health workers, and social workers — and how Your Health is now contracting with nursing home facilities to perform it, paying them up to $100 per patient per month The "Fuse" platform — a communication and documentation tool that routes care management notes directly into billing-ready buckets, syncing with point-of-care software so the minutes get captured and billed automatically How ACO risk scores work, why Your Health's scores have grown 30% under their current plan, and what failing to see hospice patients could cost the organization — up to $22 million in a single year The $4,800 per patient per year problem: how one physician in their network was quietly rated one of the worst under the ACO model simply because his patients were going home without any follow-up Scott's announcement that SSAs and TCPs are being restructured to report directly to peer group administrators — and why the confusion about their roles has cost the company If you lead a nursing home, an assisted living facility, a physician group, or any organization inside the long-term care ecosystem, this episode will change how you look at what you're already doing — and what you're leaving behind. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with registered nurse, birth advocate, and Girls Who Know founder Laurisa Paul for a powerful conversation about changing birth culture long before pregnancy ever begins. After experiencing two intervention-heavy hospital births, Laurisa's perspective on birth completely shifted through an unmedicated birth and later home births that showed her just how capable and intuitive our bodies can be. That journey inspired her to create Girls Who Know, an organization dedicated to helping girls grow up trusting their bodies instead of fearing them. Together, HeHe and Laurisa explore why body literacy, consent, anatomy, menstrual health, and birth education shouldn't start in adulthood... they should start in childhood. They discuss how teaching girls to understand their bodies from a young age can lay the foundation for more confident healthcare decisions, healthier relationships, and more empowered birth experiences later in life. They also talk about why boys deserve this education, too, and how raising an informed generation can help create more supportive partners, stronger families, and a healthier culture around birth. The conversation also covers practical ways parents can encourage body confidence at home, why using anatomically correct language matters, how to normalize conversations about puberty and birth without shame, and the resources Girls Who Know offers to families, schools, and communities. Whether you're raising daughters, sons, or simply dreaming of a future where the next generation enters pregnancy feeling informed instead of fearful, this episode is a beautiful reminder that birth education doesn't begin with a positive pregnancy test... it begins with how we teach our children to know, trust, and advocate for their bodies.   Guest Bio: Laurisa Paul is a Registered Nurse, homebirth and midwife advocate and the founder of Girls Who Know®, an organization that inspires girls to love who they are and trust their bodies. Medically trained, Laurisa stumbled across home birth when she was actively seeking for better birth experiences. After personally giving birth in multiple settings, she shifted outside mainstream medicine and began attending homebirths as a midwife assistant. Laurisa has a deep passion for supporting women and connecting with those she loves. She resides in Texas, where she is a mother of four almost-grown sons and one delightful daughter. Laurisa and her team at Girls Who Know® are improving childbirth outcomes through the education of girls while they are young.

Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult to say no, set boundaries, or simply be yourself?In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, Sarah explores how many of us mistake survival patterns for our personality. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to constantly seeking approval, these behaviours often began as intelligent adaptations to help us feel safe and accepted.Discover why authenticity isn't about becoming someone new, it's about remembering who you were before fear, trauma and conditioning taught you to hide parts of yourself.Sarah shares compassionate insights into nervous system healing, childhood conditioning, emotional health and how reconnecting with your authentic self can support both emotional and physical healing.Highlights & Timestamps ⏰ 01:41 – The Origin of Survival Strategies: How we learned in childhood that being quiet, perfect, and meeting expectations equaled love and safety.⏰ 02:49 – Nervous System Programming: Why our brains default to repeating decades-old survival patterns instead of choosing what actually makes us happy.⏰ 04:08 – The Physical Cost of People Pleasing: How ignoring our own needs leads to chronic symptoms, exhaustion, and completely losing touch with what we want.⏰ 05:35 – The Obedience Ritual: A breakdown of how the subconscious fear of rejection forces us to silence ourselves and constantly manage our image for approval.⏰ 07:21 – Healing Without Judgment: Why healing is about thanking our protective behaviors for keeping us safe, rather than declaring war on them.⏰ 08:11 – The Sculpture Metaphor: A beautiful reminder that healing doesn't change who you are—it simply removes the layers of old blankets and dust to reveal who you've always been.⏰ 09:42 – Micro-Acts of Authenticity: How reclaiming your life starts small—by saying "no thank you," choosing rest over productivity, and allowing yourself to take up space.⏰ 11:43 – A Gentle Reflection: Sarah leaves listeners with a powerful question: Who would you be if you no longer needed anyone else's approval?Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is an award-winning coach, "The Adaptation Architect," creator of The FREEDOM Framework, #1 author of Heal Yourself, international speaker and the award-winning host of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers podcast.A former Registered Nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience, Sarah healed herself from multiple chronic conditions, leading her to a powerful realization: we are not broken, we adapted.

Separated by a 40-year career gap, Tilda Shalof and Lisa Mochrie share their inspiring personal journeys through nursing to show that despite a lifetime of different experiences, we have far more in common than what divides us. At its heart, this episode is about the vital importance of nurses sharing their own stories—because when we write our own narratives, we reclaim our power.

The Power of Storytelling: Why sharing our raw, unfiltered experiences is crucial to changing the public perception of the nursing profession.

The Importance of Mentorship: How experienced chapters can uplift the next generation, and how new nurses can find the guidance they deserve.

Ever felt completely alone in a crowded room? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins exposes the hidden physical toll of "engineered loneliness" and our universal fear of judgment.Drawing from her early days as a professional trainer, where standing in front of groups triggered intense anxiety, Sarah breaks down the biology of social rejection. Discover why your ancient nervous system treats a room full of judging eyes the exact same way it treats a predatory threat, keeping you stuck in chronic, low-grade fight-or-flight.Living in "performance mode" is an exhausting survival adaptation that spikes cortisol, alters digestion and creates chronic inflammation, muscle tension and sleep issues. If you've been hiding behind a mask of total perfection to stay safe, no amount of supplements or diets can fix a nervous system that feels fundamentally unseen.Key Information 01:44 The Root of Public Speaking Anxiety: The universal fear of public speaking is rarely about the act of talking itself; it is a profound, deep-seated fear of social judgment and rejection.02:13 The Health Toll of Social Isolation: Chronic fear of how we are perceived creates "engineered loneliness"—a severe biological stressor that quietly drains our physical health.04:49 The Trap of the Performance Mask: Living life as a performance to avoid criticism creates a protective character, meaning people only connect with a mask rather than who we truly are.05:53 The Nervous System and Social Threats: The ancient human nervous system cannot differentiate between physical danger (like a predator) and social rejection, triggering an ongoing state of fight-or-flight.06:50 Physical Symptoms of Evaluation Anxiety: Over time, policing our behavior to prevent judgment manifests as tangible physical issues like chronic inflammation, insomnia, gut problems, and muscle tension.10:46 Fear of Judgment as a Survival Adaptation: Fearing criticism is not a fixed personality flaw; it is an intelligent, systemic adaptation designed to prioritize group acceptance over individual authenticity.Ready to break free from old patterns?

Are you burning out in private practice without realizing it? In this episode of The Practice of Therapy Podcast, Gordon talks with Kristin Oja, DNP, founder of STAT Wellness, about optimizing stress resilience and preventing burnout. Kristin shares a functional medicine perspective on why burnout is not always caused by work alone. Often, it is the buildup of stressors outside of work, including sleep, caffeine, exercise, relationships, technology, self-talk, and lack of recovery. Kristin explains the idea of the "stress bucket" and how even good things, like exercise, intermittent fasting, sauna, cold plunge, and high achievement, can become stressors when there is not enough recovery. Gordon and Kristin also talk about why therapists and private practice owners need to pay attention to their inner voice, create healthier boundaries with phones and email, and build small resets into the day between clients. If you are a therapist, counselor, or private practice owner feeling exhausted, disconnected, or stretched too thin, this conversation will help you think differently about burnout and what it really takes to recover.

Jack discusses how pressurized cuffs on the calves, thighs, and hips inflate sequentially between heartbeats to push blood back up to the heart and brain.15:21 — Rebuilding the Vascular System.

Take care of your own mind before you let the outside world in. Key Quotes from Makyla "Your body doesn't care what is actually good for you- it just likes what is familiar. If you are stressed or angry all the time, your body gets addicted to those bad feelings. You have to break that cycle with meditation to train your body for peace." — Makyla Wendroth "When we cleared my old self-worth block, I didn't change my business strategy or buy fancy gear.

With a growing mental health crisis and a system bogged down by waitlists and rigid silos, a powerful paradigm shift is happening across Canada: the rise of nurse-led psychotherapy. In this educational episode, we sit down with Sheena Howard (BScN, MA, RYT, RN), award-winning Nurse Psychotherapist and the founder of Acceptance Psychotherapy. We dive deep into why Registered Nurses are uniquely positioned to transform mental healthcare. Grounded in a holistic nursing blueprint, nurse psychotherapists don't just treat symptoms in isolation; they integrate biological, psychological, and social factors—bridging the gap between the physical nervous system, medication management, and emotional trauma. However, paving this independent path comes with major friction. Sheena pulls back the curtain on the institutional gatekeeping, regulatory ambiguities, and insurance barriers that independent nurse providers face daily. More importantly, she shares evidence-backed strategies on how to overcome these hurdles: by shifting focus from restrictive corporate insurance policies to strict provincial legislation, building multi-disciplinary alliances, and creating inclusive, trauma-informed clinical spaces. This conversation is a masterclass in healthcare advocacy and systemic disruption for any clinician ready to expand their scope and build a practice on their own terms.

Registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario, Sheena holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Arts. Over her 20+ year clinical career, she has dedicated herself to providing trauma-informed, intersectional, and harm-reduction-focused psychotherapy.

If you've been running on empty for months — chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, a body that won't cooperate no matter how much you sleep — and part of you has quietly wondered whether God is doing this to you or just letting it happen, this episode is for you. We're walking through five biblical reasons God allows suffering, and what to actually do while you're still in the middle of it. Fair warning: these reasons aren't wrapped in a bow. A few of them are genuinely hard to sit with. But stay to the end, because there's real encouragement waiting there. This one is for the Christian woman who is done spinning her wheels and ready to take real steps toward healing — body and faith, together. As a Registered Nurse and holistic health coach, I bring both a clinical lens and a faith-centered one to this conversation, because holistic health was never meant to separate the two. Why God Allows Suffering: 5 Biblical Reasons 1. So God's Works Can Be Displayed — John 9 When Jesus's disciples ask who sinned to cause a man's blindness, him or his parents, Jesus answers plainly: neither. "It was not that this man sinned or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him." — John 9:3 Illness isn't always a verdict on someone's character. Sometimes it's simply the setup for what God plans to do next. If you've walked through healing, your story matters — telling it points other people back to Him. 2. Because God Works in Ways We Don't Fully Understand — Job The Book of Job is genuinely hard, and it's okay to say so. Job loses his family and his health, and when God finally speaks, He doesn't explain Himself. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." — Job 38:4 There's no tidy resolution here. Just a reminder that we serve a God whose understanding is bigger than ours — which means some suffering won't make sense from where we're standing, and that's allowed to be true without shaking our trust in Him. 3. Temporary Suffering Can Be Training Now, and Protection Later — Joseph, Genesis 50 Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned — roughly seventeen years between the dream God gave him and the day it came true. When his brothers later feared retaliation, Joseph told them: "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." — Genesis 50:20 God used that season to train Joseph for the leadership he'd eventually need, and that same training is what positioned him to protect his entire family years later when famine hit. The suffering came first. The protection came after, once the training had done its work. If you're walking through chronic illness or a season of low energy right now, it's worth asking what this might be preparing you for, and who it might one day let you protect. 4. So God's Power Can Be Made Perfect in Weakness — 2 Corinthians 12 Paul asked God three times to remove his "thorn in the flesh." God didn't. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul's conclusion was that his weakness became the very thing that made him strong. Self-sufficiency tends to pull us toward leaning on our own strength instead of God's. Sometimes the thorn stays so the credit goes to God's power, not ours. 5. So We Will Lack Nothing — James 1 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness... that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." — James 1:2-4 Nobody signs up for trials willingly. But if the process produces something in us we'd otherwise be missing, that reframes the waiting — even when it doesn't make it easy. What to Do While You're Waiting on God Faith Matters — But It's Not a Verdict on Your Healing (Luke 8) A woman who had been bleeding for twelve years touches the edge of Jesus's garment and is instantly healed. He tells her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well." Faith plays a real part in healing. But just because you haven't been healed yet doesn't mean you don't have enough faith. The man born blind in John 9 wasn't blind because of a lack of faith. Faith is a factor, but it's not the only one. There may be other things at work that have nothing to do with how much faith you have, so there's no need to carry guilt over it or pick yourself apart looking for what's missing. Obedience Is Part of the Process (2 Kings 5) Naaman was told to dip in the Jordan River seven times to be healed of leprosy — and he almost refused because it felt too simple. When he finally obeyed, he was healed. Sometimes God is asking for action alongside our faith — working with a doctor, researching natural remedies, changing a habit, simply doing the next obedient thing in front of you. Faith and action aren't in competition. And underneath it all is a quiet principle worth remembering: we reap what we sow. Good choices tend to bear good fruit, even when the harvest is slow to show up. Remembering God's Goodness in the Waiting There's a lot in Scripture that's genuinely hard to understand — Job's story, Ezekiel being told not to publicly mourn his wife, and plenty more. But understanding everything was never the requirement for trusting God's goodness. "He will never leave you nor forsake you." — Hebrews 13:5 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose." — Romans 8:28 He's been proving that for thousands of years. He's still doing it now, even in the waiting. Key Takeaways Suffering is not automatically a punishment for sin or a sign of insufficient faith. Some of God's ways genuinely won't make sense from where we're standing — and that's allowed. Hard seasons can be preparation for something ahead that isn't visible yet. Faith and practical obedience — medical care, lifestyle changes, natural remedies — work together, not against each other. You're responsible for your next faithful step, not for forcing an outcome or understanding the whole plan. This episode is educational and faith-based reflection, not medical advice or a diagnosis.  Ready for Your Next Step?

Are you actually healing, or have you just become incredibly skilled at managing your symptoms? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self-Healers, host Sarah Dawkins challenges the modern wellness industry and the stressful "optimization loop" so many of us get trapped in. If you have spent thousands of dollars on supplements, followed every strict protocol, practiced breathwork and tried cold plunging, yet you are still exhausted, anxious or struggling with chronic illness, this episode is for you. True mind-body medicine requires us to stop treating our symptoms like enemies to be silenced, and start listening to them as messengers. We unpack why symptom relief and deep healing are not the same thing, how your nervous system might actually be responding appropriately to emotional wounds and why it's time to stop mopping a wet floor while ignoring the overflowing tap. ✨ Ready to discover the root cause of your chronic symptoms? Watch until the end to learn how to transition from biohacking survival to true self-healing. ⏱️ Key Information Pieces & Timestamps01:19 – The Core Question: Sarah introduces the central theme of the episode, asking viewers to consider whether they are actually healing or simply managing their symptoms. 02:25 – Symptoms as Messengers: She challenges conventional views by explaining that symptoms are clues or messengers from the body, and silencing them means missing the deeper message. 02:38 – The Car Warning Light Analogy: A powerful visual metaphor is introduced—covering a car's warning light with tape makes the light disappear, but it completely ignores the underlying mechanical issue. 04:50 – Root Causes vs. Emotional Signals: Sarah explains that issues like chronic exhaustion or anxiety are often not the primary problem, but rather the body's natural response to years of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment. 05:37 – The Overflowing Tap Analogy: Managing symptoms without looking for the source is compared to endlessly mopping a wet floor while completely ignoring an overflowing tap. 08:39 – The Optimization Loop Trap: She identifies a major pitfall in modern wellness where people get trapped in an endless, stressful cycle of buying another supplement, perfecting a morning routine, or chasing the next biohack. 09:32 – The Hard Truth of True Healing: The episode highlights why people stay stuck: it is significantly easier to buy a physical product or try a new breathing tool than it is to face long-buried grief or unpack a 40-year-old belief system.11:04 - Deeper Questions to Ask Your Body Today

How do you heal when "healthy living" isn't working? In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with Natalie Elghossain, an Ayurvedic health practitioner and founder of Ayurvedic Wellness.Natalie shares her raw and relatable journey of hitting "rock bottom" at age 30. Despite her background as an athlete and an MBA graduate, she found herself trapped in a cycle of chronic anxiety, digestive issues, yeast infections and a "dark night of the soul" while working in high-pressure corporate consulting.Key Information and Time Stamps01:51 Natalie discusses how chronic anxiety and digestive issues surfaced despite an "athletic" and "healthy" lifestyle. Ideal for those seeking holistic burnout recovery.05:04 A deep dive into how gas, bloating, and stomach pain are biologically linked to worry, fear, and paranoia, showing how physical symptoms mirror mental states.12:42 Natalie explains why treating only emotions or only the body felt "incomplete," and why a truly holistic system is required for transformational healing.19:32 An explanation of Agni (Digestive Fire). Learn why you can eat "perfectly" but still feel malnourished if your body isn't metabolizing nutrients at a cellular level.24:12 Natalie debunks the myth that raw salads are always healthy, explaining why warm, cooked foods are essential for grounding an anxious mind.26:26 A surprising link between excessive sleep (over 7 hours), the Kapha (water) element and the physical manifestation of chronic yeast infections. 27:54 A breakthrough look at mental health: Anxiety (Vata/Air) vs. Depression (Kapha/Earth) and how balancing elements can eliminate these "diagnoses."33:44 Natalie shares the core Ayurvedic strategy: assessing your out-of-balance state and using "opposite" elements (e.g., cooling for fire, warming for air) to heal.Natalie's story is a testament to the fact that symptoms are not enemies, they are invitations to return to your true nature. If you are feeling "scattered," "heavy," or "burnt out," this conversation offers a 5,000-year-old roadmap to feeling grounded and energized again.Natalie's Bio Natalie Elghossain is an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner, Speaker, and Founder of Ayurveda Wellness based outside Boulder, Colorado and serving clients globally.

Step behind the curtains of the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in this compelling episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast. Host Pat Iyer sits down with Paul Sayeg, a seasoned registered nurse, legal nurse consultant, and expert witness, to explore the hidden world of PACU nursing, a fast-paced, detail-intensive environment where patients emerge from anesthesia at their most vulnerable. With over two decades of clinical experience, Paul shares his insights on patient monitoring, the critical role of the Aldrete and modified Aldrete scores, and the unique challenges facing nurses in this high-stakes setting. Together, they dig into the standardized tools and clinical judgment required for safe patient recovery in various settings, from hospitals to same-day surgery centers. Real-world cases and stories illustrate the life-and-death importance of nurse vigilance, thorough documentation, and seamless teamwork. The discussion also peels back the layers of system-level pressures such as "factory line healthcare," that can contribute to liability risks and medical errors. Listeners will gain a valuable perspective on how a healthy PACU culture supports early intervention and patient safety, and how expert witnesses piece together complex cases using standards published by the American Society of Peri Anesthesia Nurses (ASPAN). Whether you're a legal nurse consultant, healthcare professional, or simply curious about what happens after surgery, this episode delivers a candid look at the science, systems, and human factors behind successful post-anesthesia care.

Who are you without your story?

If you have ever felt uneasy about a prescription but could not quite explain why, this episode is for you. Not because the goal is to scare you, but because you deserve to understand how the system actually works — from someone who worked inside it for years. Welcome I am a Registered Nurse and Christian holistic health coach, and before I ever coached women toward natural healing, I spent years inside the pharmaceutical industry working in drug safety and pharmacovigilance. I processed the reports. I saw the conflicts of interest. And eventually, I became the patient. This episode is for the Christian woman who has been dismissed, medicated, and sent home with a prescription and zero real answers. The woman who suspects there is a better way but does not know where to start. If that is you, keep listening. What the Drug Approval Process Actually Looks Like Most people assume that by the time a drug reaches your pharmacist, it has been tested on hundreds of thousands of people over decades. The reality is more sobering. Before a drug is approved, it goes through clinical trials. For your average drug, the median total number of participants across all clinical trials before FDA approval is 1,708 people. For orphan drugs — drugs created for rare diseases — that number drops to a median of 438 participants. That is the data your doctor's prescription is based on. The Conflict of Interest Nobody Talks About Here is what most people outside the industry do not know. When a patient has an adverse event during a clinical trial, a report gets sent to the drug safety department. A physician is then required to determine whether or not the drug caused that event. But that physician works for — or is contracted by — the pharmaceutical company. The chief medical officer, the person setting the tone for how reports are assessed, has a financial stake in the outcome. Even the most ethical physician in that position faces a fundamental conflict of interest. And in some cases, if the clinical trial investigator — the doctor actually watching the patient — determines the drug caused the adverse event, the pharmaceutical company's physician can override that assessment entirely. The Human Factor Inside the System The people who work in drug safety are largely detail-oriented, hardworking, and genuinely care about patient outcomes. That matters and it is worth saying. But the system itself has real limitations. High turnover rates mean institutional knowledge walks out the door constantly. Clinical trial teams spread across the globe sometimes do not understand their own reporting obligations. Physicians reviewing dozens of nearly identical reports daily are fighting boredom and burnout. And patients taking 10, 15, or even 30 medications at once make causality nearly impossible to determine with any real certainty. The science is not as clean as the packaging suggests. After FDA Approval — The Data Gets Even Thinner Once a drug is on the market, the primary way a pharmaceutical company learns about safety issues is through voluntary reports — from you or your doctor. Most patients have never heard of a pharmacovigilance department. Most healthcare professionals do not know they can or should be reporting adverse events directly to pharmaceutical companies. That means the post-market safety data is largely dependent on a system most people do not know exists. Vioxx is the example that opened this episode. FDA approved. Widely prescribed. Pulled from the market after data showed an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The clinical trials passed. The stamp of approval was given. And people were still harmed. What This Means for Your Health Decisions None of this means every pharmaceutical product is dangerous or that every person working in the industry has bad intentions. That is not the point. The point is discernment. The safety profile of the drug you may be taking rests heavily on the worldview of one chief medical officer at one pharmaceutical company, filtered through a reporting system most people have never heard of, built on a data set far smaller than most people realize. That is not a conspiracy. That is just how the system is structured. Why God Must Come First My friend had Crohn's disease for roughly 15 years. One day she was healed. Her doctor's response? It must be that you never had Crohn's disease in the first place. That response reveals everything about a worldview that cannot make room for healing outside of its own framework. God is not limited by what the data set allows. He is not constrained by what the chief medical officer approves. His wisdom is complete, and He designed your body with purpose and precision. I am not here to get you off your medications. I am not here to tell you pharmaceutical companies are entirely bad. My mission is simpler and more important than that — to encourage you to go to God first. To seek His wisdom before you outsource your health to a system that was never designed to heal you. As one of my dear friends shared with me for my book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Science and knowledge are gifts from the Almighty One, yet they are not God. When we believe the deception that academia, research, and humanity's partial understanding is more powerful than the One who created it all, then it controls us and leaves us susceptible to more deception.

Slatton were honored to welcome Mari Baxter as guest to the show.   About Mari Baxter, Chief Operating Officer, Senior Helpers®:   Ms. Baxter began her career with Senior Helpers® in 2008 when there were just 40 franchisees. After working in the field for several years, Mari was promoted to Vice President of Operations in 2011, with the additional responsibilities of all resales, corporate stores, international franchising, and the training department. In 2021, she moved into the position of Chief Operating Officer.   As COO, Mari and her field staff, Directors and department Vice Presidents oversee all franchise and corporate store operations, compliance management, advanced training, client care and retention programs, and vendor and national account relations.

When you first contact a Senior Helpers office, we will set up a complimentary initial assessment at the client's dwelling to determine their needs and formulate an individualized care plan. When needed, a qualified staff member, Social Worker, or Registered Nurse (depending on state regulations) will conduct a full assessment to aid in this process and further articulate the care plan. We will then use this assessment in our caregiver matching process to choose the most appropriate caregiver for our clients.   Senior Helpers elevates its care for clients through three key programs: the proprietary LIFE Profile assessment tool, the Senior Gems® program, and the Center of Excellence training spaces.   LIFE Profile is a research-based technology tool that uses data to identify a client's risk of being hospitalized.   The Senior Gems® program provides effective strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones from normal aging through late-stage dementia, focusing on what is precious and unique about each senior at each stage.   The Senior Helpers® Center of Excellence is a training space designed to simulate a client's home, allowing caregivers to learn and train in a real-world environment and demonstrate their ability to provide the highest quality of care in a client's home.
