How is 3in1 Mechanical Ministries filling the gap of transportation for overcomers of trafficking?In our work with women in Restorative Care, we have found that once they complete our program and have jobs and housing, we always still have the missing piece of transportation. In order to help our graduates be set up for success, they need a reliable way to get to and from work. Otherwise, they immediately find themselves in a vulnerable situation again.That's where 3in1 Mechanical ministries comes in. Ross Peters, their Founder and CEO, shares with us how his lifelong love of cars transformed into a nonprofit that gives away cars to people in need.Ross also discusses:The lack of transportation-related nonprofits not just in Houston, but all of the United StatesThe importance of providing reliable vehicles and follow-up care for clientsThe amazing ways God opened doors to create this new nonprofit and some of the success stories they've seen Support the Show.Learn more about Elijah Rising »Follow us on Instagram »Donate and Support Our Work »

Approximately eight percent of the annual USA dentistry budget is spent on Fluoride treatments for children. Tune in today to hear why Dr. B feels this isn't worth the cost, and what you can do to avoid your kid needing one! We hear what fluoride is, what products it's found in, and how we are exposed to it daily. Find out how it causes fluorosis, and how you can raise kids without exposing them to it. Dr. B also discusses two of his favorite studies that show that fluoride is absorbed through the mucous membranes and that "F" treatments are not cost-effective prevention methods. We learn what the future of dentistry holds and what “F” treatments will hopefully be replaced with. Discover why functional dentists are the key to managing your dental health without fluoride, and where you can find one today!Key Points From This Episode:How you can give Dr. B some constructive feedback on his Ask the Dentist podcastToday's question: What are your thoughts on the “F” treatment for a 28-month-old?What the “F” treatment is: The fluoride treatmentWhy Dr. B doesn't believe you should do the “F” treatmentWhat fluoride is, and why it's in our waterHow toothpaste can cause fluorosisThe absorption of fluoride and how even showering in fluoridated water is a riskA study Dr. B recommends that showed “F” treatments were not cost-effective at preventing cavitiesWhy choosing a functional dentist is the best preventative measure against cavities How the dynamic nature of the tooth means you can influence its healthDr. B's recommended toothpaste: Boka Hydroxyapatite ToothpasteWhy the field of dentistry needs a hydroxyapatite-based tooth varnishWhy it doesn't matter how much hydroxyapatite is in your systemRaising your kids without fluoride: filtering water and changing toothpasteHow to Submit Your Question:Record your question for Dr. B at speakpipe.com/askthedentist Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Email Dr. B your feedback at mark@askthedentist.comThe Dhru Purohit Podcast #207: The Dangers of Fluoride on the Brain and IQ with Dr. Mark BurhenneThe Fluoride Action NetworkAbsorption of fluoride through the oral mucosa of ratsCost-effectiveness analysis of two caries prevention methods in the first permanent molar in childrenProfessionally Applied Topical Fluoride and Restorative Care in Insured ChildrenBoka Hydroxyapatite ToothpasteAsk the DentistAbout Dr. Mark BurhenneFollow Dr. B on Instagram @askthedentistFollow Dr. B on Twitter @askthedentistAsk Dr. B a QuestionFunctional Dentist DirectoryWhat Dr. B Recommends

How can chaplains support faculty and staff in higher education, especially to build resilience in the face of public health crises? Chaplaincy Innovation Lab Director of Programs Michael Skaggs speaks with Cynthia Cheshire, campus minister to Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire, about her project and how she answers this question. They focus especially on restorative circle practices and communal acknowledgements of COVID-19 losses. This webinar will be of particular interest to higher education chaplains, but also all chaplains concerned for staff in their institutions.

What if we told you that we can live better, happier, and simpler lives by making a few adjustments to how we think about self-care? Would you try it?   In this episode, we are talking with Dr.Christine Koh. She's a music and brain scientist turned multimedia creative! She spent a decade in academia, during which time she was awarded prestigious fellowships from the National Institutes of Health to fund her Ph.D. research at Queen's University and joint-appointment postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Institutes of Technology. Christine was about to become a professor when she decided to hang up her academic spurs in favor of more flexible and independent ventures.   We discuss what so many of us view “protective self-care” as and what it really needs to be to actually benefit us in the long run. Christine also shares with us her breakdown of Self-Care into two distinct parts: Protective Care and Restorative Care. And how they relate to boundaries, toxic relationships, taking a “pause”, and really overall -how we care for ourselves.   Resources we shared: Me & My Friendships Pre-Order Bonus   Christine Koh   Edit Your Life Podcast   Hello Relationships Podcast   Protective Care vs. Restorative Care   CNN Friendships Piece   The Washington Post- Why the parental pandemic wall feels so bad right now, and what you can do about it   Podcast Episode 026 How to Help Your Tween Navigate Relationships with Phyllis Fagell   CNN- How parents can support kids through (and beyond) the latest wave of anti-Asian American violence   Jessica Turner- The Mom Creative   Lydia Denworth   Leave Us a Podcast Review (How to Video)   Download the Transcripts HERE   The best mom is a happy mom.

Sometimes you have to say No to something in order to say Yes to something else. At least that's the approach I've taken in my life these past few years. And it's helped me to keep my sanity:-) In this week's solo episode, I share why I'm taking a break from podcasting for a few months. **Hint** It's so I can take some time to work on a project that has been on my heart and mind for years.  I want to create an online sanctuary space that will help to empower nurturing people to make the care of their body, mind and heart a priority.  I hope to facilitate this through Restorative Care. I’ve talked a bit about Restorative Care in a few of my solo podcast episodes. But if this is a new term for you, it’s my twist on self-care.  The root of Restorative Care is Self-Compassion.  Restorative care helps us reconnect to ourselves. It helps us to return home and allows us to feel grounded and connected to our truth.  It’s offers a holistic approach to our overall well-being that involves Movement, Play + Creativity, Rest + Recovery, Gratitude and Connection. . My intention is to create a community that will allow us to practice Restorative Care together. I’m choosing to take a break from the newsletter and the podcast so that I can have time to bring this to life. But I also want to invite you to share your story with me…. I’d love to hear from you so that I can take your needs into consideration as I begin to put this together. I made this form to make it as easy as possible to share your story.   If you would prefer to just chat with me over the phone, please reach out to me at maureen@maureenryan.co. I’ll schedule a time that works for both of us. To learn more about this episode and any resources mentioned, please see the show notes.

In my solo podcast episode this week, I talk about how important it is to cultivate a relationship with your feelings. So that you can begin to identify and name your feelings.  This simple step can provide you with so much information that can help you make choices and move forward in a way that addresses your needs and aligns with your values. This sounds simple…. But it’s not.  We’ve been conditioned to not feel our feelings.  And because of that...cultivating a relationship with our feelings is a process and a journey for many of us. Especially for those of us who worry that we’re not "good enough" and wear the armor of people-pleasing and perfectionism to protect ourselves. When you’re wearing armor that’s designed to hide your insecurities. You not only protect yourself from the judgement of others.  You also “protect” yourself from FEELING your true feelings. And that’s where the real danger lies. When the “should’s” and “expectations” hijack your feelings and keep you caught in your thoughts. You can become disconnected from your feelings and from your sense of self.   In this week’s solo podcast episode, I talk about the ways I use Restorative Care to cultivate a relationship with my feelings and why I think this is so important in today's world. We’ve been conditioned to believe our feelings are a sign of weakness. Why is that?  Who wrote that narrative? And what purpose does it serve? I’d love to invite you to explore those questions with me in this week's episode. To be totally honest, I had another episode planned but switched gears after I allowed myself time to write as I processed the news of the past few weeks. In doing so, I discovered what was really on my mind and in my heart. I hope that you'll allow yourself some time to cultivate and create a safe space for your feelings. If you do, please let me know. I would love to see what you create or allow to come forth. To learn more about this episode and any resources mentioned, please see the show notes.

Surprise billing … it sounds like so much fun. Who doesn’t love a surprise? Except receiving a surprise bill is zero fun. In case you’ve been out of the loop on this, surprise billing is when the patient, unbeknownst to them, racks up out-of-network charges, usually at a hospital. The patient may have done absolutely everything right—selected an in-network hospital, got all their tests preapproved—and then, wham! A month or a year later, the patient gets a bill that could be a few hundred dollars or a few hundred thousand dollars, usually from someone they’ve never heard of. And that’s an important point. The vast majority of physicians out there, especially the ones with relationships with patients, don’t surprise bill. Unfortunately, surprise billing isn’t a one-off random event: 54% of Americans have received a surprise bill. And that 54% of Americans … not happy about it. So unhappy, as a matter of fact, that lots of legislation is pending to curtail the practice. Surprise billing has been identified as a solid barrier to access and to patients who need care getting it. Patients fear the looming threat of having their bank account emptied out no matter how diligent and smart and well insured they are. Why does surprise billing—or balance billing, as it’s usually called by those engaging in it—continue when it’s so clearly a problem for patients? If you read a recent Brookings Institute report, you’d have discovered that surprise billing is a lucrative gambit for some, certainly not all, hospitals. It’s especially lucrative in, but not limited to, emergency rooms (ERs). So much money can be raked in from incapacitated or, at a minimum, injured patients, in fact, that certain ER-staffing companies have turned surprise billing into a business model. If you follow me on LinkedIn, you’d know that I wrote an article about this on Medium recently. Today I speak with Devon Herrick, PhD, who is an expert in surprise billing. Devon is a health care economist and public policy analyst who has authored many articles on surprise billing. You’ll find some links in the show notes. Devon is also an adviser to the Heartland Institute, which is a free-market think tank. I find it incredibly thought provoking that a free-market think tank, for reasons we discuss in this podcast, finds unfettered market-driven surprise billing as egregious as the most progressive socialists do. Handshaking across aisles everywhere. If you’re a hospital or insurance carrier executive, what are you doing right now in light of all this public attention and legislation? I hope your response includes actions to protect your patients—and not just an industry-centric lobbying effort.   You can learn more and connect with Devon on Twitter at @DevonHerrick or on Facebook at Devon Herrick.     Devon M. Herrick, PhD, is a health economist and former hospital accountant. He is currently a health policy adviser for the Chicago-based Heartland Institute. Dr. Herrick worked for the Dallas-based National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) for 21 years until it ceased operations in 2017. He also served two terms as chair of the Health Economics Roundtable of the National Association for Business Economics (NABE). Dr. Herrick focuses on health insurance issues, including state health care regulations, federal health reform, managed care, Medicare, Medicaid, and the uninsured. He also researches issues such as consumer-driven health care, telemedicine, medical tourism, pharmaceutical economics, and emerging trends in retail medicine. While with NCPA, Dr. Herrick authored more than 100 studies and papers based on his research. Dr. Herrick is a sought-after speaker on health policy issues and is quoted widely in the press, including on radio and television. He has testified before Congress and numerous state legislative hearings and meetings. His articles and comments have appeared in hundreds of newspapers across the country. He is a coauthor, with John C. Goodman and Gerald L. Musgrave, of Lives at Risk: Single-Payer National Health Insurance Around the World. Dr. Herrick began his career in health care as a staff accountant with Baylor University Medical Center (Dallas) in 1986. He later transferred to Baylor Center for Restorative Care, where he worked as an accounting manager. Prior to joining NCPA, Dr. Herrick was a research assistant at the Bruton Center for Development Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). The Bruton Center integrates geographic information systems, spatial analysis, and exploratory data analysis in the social sciences, applying research on trends, forces, and public policy. While a teaching assistant, Dr. Herrick also taught the economics of health at UTD. While pursuing a doctorate in 1995, Herrick came to the National Center for Policy Analysis as a policy intern. He subsequently became manager of information systems and later the research manager. Dr. Herrick was a senior fellow at NCPA from 2003 to 2017. 03:33 How common surprise billing, or balance billing, actually is. 03:55 The statistics behind how pervasive surprising bills are. 04:49 Balance billing vs business law. 05:55 Why patients fear hospitals. 06:27 How transparency can solve the problem of balance bills. 06:50 “If there’s no meeting of the minds, it’s not an enforceable contract.” 07:27 How to solve surprise billing in ERs. 09:32 The tipping point of surprise bills. 10:32 The negative incentive in stopping this problem. 11:11 “Health care is similar to a gold rush.” 13:26 Is there spillover into other financial models? 13:50 What doctors think of surprise billing. 16:14 How surprise billing became a default practice to begin with. 19:50 “Hospitals can wield more power than they realize.” 21:07 How balance billing affects insurance carriers. 22:15 Doctor fees vs hospital fees. 23:28 “Someone’s prices are going up.” 24:09 “It’s partly based on opportunity.” 26:00 Devon’s advice to insurance companies on eliminating balance billing. 31:18 Devon’s consulting practice.
