As expected, Monitor Monday continues to focus squarely on healthcare auditing and compliance.During the next live edition of the venerable Internet broadcast, Monitor Monday will examine a range of compliance and auditing concerns associated with skin lacerations. Led by esteemed physician and popular program special guest Dr. James S. Kennedy, the program will take listeners on a fascinating deep dive beneath the skin to explore documentation and reporting issues related to skin laceration repairs.Skin laceration repairs can significantly influence inpatient facility MS-DRG and APR-DRG assignments, depending on the documented depth of the repair: skin only for medical DRGs, or subcutaneous tissue or deeper for surgical DRGs.Dr. Kennedy will discuss differing CPT® and ICD-10-PCS documentation requirements, along with recent CPT Assistant and Coding Clinic guidance affecting skin repair—issues that warrant the attention of facility compliance officers.Broadcast segments will also include these familiar features:Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will make his Monday Rounds.The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Poyner Spruill, will report the latest auditing news.Risky Business: Nicole Moan, Esq., an associate with the law firm of Fredrikson & Byron, will substitute for healthcare attorney David Glaser.Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, JD,senior healthcare legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on current healthcare legislation.
You’re probably familiar with the saying, “Beauty is skin deep.” It’s meant to be a cautionary warning not to read too much into a person’s looks. And while that’s generally good advice, it’s good to be aware the saying dates back to the 1600’s. Today we know that a healthy complexion can indeed be an indicator of a healthy body. And, conversely, not taking care of your skin can lead to adverse, and sometimes very serious, health challenges. As our interest in skincare has grown, so has the skincare industry. There are now an estimated 13,000 skincare clinics across the country. One of them is a day spa company called SpaVia which has around 60 locations in the US. Here in Acadiana, our SpaVia location is on Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. Jennifer Lambert is the local owner of the franchise. Keeping your skin healthy and keeping a youthful appearance isn’t a one-and-done proposition. You’ve got to keep on top of it. If you’re not a human being though -- there’s an alternative. With just one visit to Matthew Courville, you can look eternally your best. And I mean, “eternally.” The only caveat is, you have to be dead. Matthew is the owner of MC Taxidermy. Whether you’re a total fashionista, constantly conscious of your appearance, or you’re living off the grid out in the swamp and don’t care what you look like, your skin is your body’s largest organ. Every day, every hour, every minute, your skin is performing all kinds of chemical reactions to try and keep you healthy. Even if you do nothing to help it, it will succeed - to a certain extent and up to a point in time when – sometimes literally – it burns out. You can help your skin and your whole self stay healthy by visiting a day spa like SpaVia. And if you want to preserve a non-human that means something to you, well, there’s taxidermy.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the bubbly, gorgeous Amanda Ramsay, an award-winning makeup artist who's worked with some of the biggest names in the Australian entertainment industry. Amanda has worked across TV, weddings and events, but for her, beauty has always gone far beyond the makeup itself. It's about confidence, self-care, and feeling good from the inside out. We chat to Amanda about the light bulb moment that changed the course of her career when she walked into a beauty retailer as a new mum in her early 40s and realised that no one was serving women 40 plus. That moment sparked what would become a mission to help thousands of women feel confident and seen, through in-person classes, online courses, and uncomplicated, real-world techniques that actually work at this stage of life. We dive deep into all things skincare and makeup, from why hydration is the real key to a glowing complexion, to Amanda's "less is more" philosophy when it comes to texture and coverage. She shares her favourite tricks for looking instantly more awake, why blush and a strong brow can transform your whole face, and her take on lip liners, stains and fillers for a fuller-looking pout without looking overdone. We also talk about the emotional side of beauty, the importance of finding your own features to love rather than fixate on, and why reinvention can be one of the most empowering things a woman can do. Amanda's advice throughout is simple, practical and full of heart, and we walked away with tips we can't wait to try. We had so much fun chatting with Amanda. She's warm, generous and clearly loves helping women feel their best. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

When a spa anniversary, a couples card game, and Dark Side of Wrestling all collide, you get one of the most unfiltered relationship-and-reality-TV episodes ever. Jo and Calvin turn a simple celebration at Balian Springs into a hilarious deep dive on spa etiquette, relationship dynamics, and why some people absolutely should not be trusted with a cold plunge. They kick things off with Jo's first-ever spa experience and Calvin's much more seasoned take on luxury spas, from facials and saunas to the awkward math of what's actually included in the ticket price. Along the way, they compare Balian Springs to King Spa, debate the value of the amenities, and revisit the kind of chaos that can happen when “relaxation” meets public nudity, locker rooms, and people who cannot stop talking. Then the conversation gets even more revealing when they break out The And - a Skin Deep conversation card game built to expose exactly how much a couple really knows each other. What starts as a playful experiment quickly turns into a brutally honest look at family influence, friendship boundaries, conflict in relationships, and the kind of advice they would give a daughter about love, self-worth, and recognizing red flags the first time they show up. From there, Joe and Calvin go full wrestling historian with Dark Side of Wrestling, unpacking the tragic, wild stories of The Renegade, Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff, New Jack, and Jimmy Snuka. You'll hear how each man's rise, decline, and behind-the-scenes life reflects the darker side of the business - from fakeouts, broken bodies, and backstage politics to addiction, family trauma, and heartbreaking endings. They also spotlight Chris Colt, the indie-era gay wrestler whose story left the biggest impression on them. And because this episode is really about how people navigate love, identity, pressure, and self-destruction, the 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days recap lands with even more bite. Joe and Calvin break down the messy dynamics between Edward and Marissa, Debbie and Mido, Thomas and Paula, Aisha and Maxwell, and Katie and Josh, calling out control issues, rushed decisions, open-relationship tension, classism, and the recurring fear of being alone.Perfect for anyone who loves real talk, relationship chaos, reality TV breakdowns, and wrestling stories that are somehow equal parts hilarious, sad, and impossible to look away from.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Zeshaan Maan about myths and realities of plastic surgery and its psychological impact. Maan explains “plastic” comes from Greek for molding and shaping, and describes plastic surgery as restoring form and function through principles of tissue handling and blood supply. He discusses the demands of training and long operations, self-care, and the team required in the OR and office. Maan frames cosmetic surgery as aligning external appearance with internal identity, citing breast reduction as especially high-ROI for quality of life and explaining motivations and outcomes for breast augmentation and rhinoplasty, including functional breathing benefits. He describes evaluating patient motivations, screening for body dysmorphic disorder and social-media-driven expectations, and declining inappropriate requests. Maan also shares volunteer work operating on children in Israel and the West Bank, and ends by naming empathy as the key skill to reduce conflict.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Plastic Surgery01:44 Meet Dr Zeshaan Maan02:51 What Plastic Surgery Means04:06 Choosing the Specialty06:01 Training and Stamina08:23 Self Care and Music09:47 The OR Teamwork12:52 Psychology and ROI13:57 Breast Reduction Benefits15:42 Breast Augmentation Outcomes17:14 Rhinoplasty Stories19:35 Form Meets Function21:05 Screening Dysmorphia23:14 Social Media Pressures25:04 When Surgeons Say No27:39 Humanitarian Reconstructive Work30:00 Misconceptions and Reality35:31 Not Just Skin Deep38:47 Empathy and FarewellHelpful Links:Dr. Zeshaan MaanDr. Zeshaan Maan LinkedInDr. Zeshaan Maan Instagram

Send us Fan MailDermatologist Dr. Michael Bernhardt joins Dr. Mitchell Rothstein to discuss the rapidly changing and improving world of chronic skin condition. The two doctors discuss the correlation between chronic skin conditions and allergies, and the role that inflammation play in both. The docs then dive deep into our inflammation system.This informs the next section of the podcast, where the Drs. Bernhardt and Rothstein talk about the landscape of chronic skin condition medications. They explain that these conditions had poor outcomes and ineffective medicines for decades, and that this picture has only changed in the last 4-5 years with new medications that work from the inside out instead of the outside in. They talk about new generations of medication that target the inflammatory signals themselves inside the body, showing rapid relief to otherwise untreatable conditions.

Nick Lowe is the unsung hero of the late-70s British music scene. As the legendary in-house producer for Stiff Records, he helped launch the punk and new wave movements, but on his 1979 solo album Labour of Lust, he perfected his own blend of infectious, hook-heavy power pop. Backed by the pub-rock supergroup Rockpile, Lowe delivered a slick, sneering, and endlessly catchy record. This week, the Random Album Generator spins the masterpiece that gave us "Cruel to Be Kind" and proved that "Basher" Lowe was a pop genius in his own right.Inside This Episode:Side A Reaction: We're splitting this 11-track classic right down the middle. If you're listening with us, hit pause after track six, "Skin Deep." Jeremy and Jon react to the bouncing, buoyant energy of the opening tracks and how Lowe seamlessly blends 1960s pop sensibilities with a punk-rock attitude.5 Fast Facts: We uncover the wild story behind the "two albums recorded at once" studio sessions, the hidden cameos by Elvis Costello and Huey Lewis, and the bizarre tracklist switch-ups between the UK and US releases.Side B & Final Thoughts: We flip to Side B and discuss the back half of the record, diving into whether Lowe's tongue-in-cheek humor and clever wordplay overshadow the genuine musical chops on display.The Verdict & Standout Tracks: Jeremy and Jon lock in their 3 essential tracks.

Listen to today's podcast... Beauty is only skin deep or in simpler terms, a pleasing appearance is not a guide to character. However, our skin is vital to our health. Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Your skin covers your entire body and acts as a shield from the elements. It bends with ease, warns you when something is too hot or too cold, repairs itself when broken, and plays a huge part in your appearance. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Beautiful In Your Skin Month: Wear sunscreen daily. There are plenty of sunscreens, but the right kind of sunscreen can effectively protect your skin from the damaging UV rays. Choose a sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 and don't forget your neck and hands. Getting rid of dry, dead skin cells can leave your skin looking smoother and supple but don't over exfoliate. Be gentle to your skin and treat it with care. Hydrate. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water daily does not necessarily mean that your skin will be automatically hydrated. Stay away from tanning beds and the sun. Do a spray tan instead if you are looking for a glow. Examine your skin regularly for signs of skin cancer. Look for new or unusual spots, as well as anything changing, itching or bleeding. Remember, If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app. Looking for more ways to build your resiliency?

More Than Skin Deep: Beauty, Health, and Mental Well-Being In this thought-provoking episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show, with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, she revisits a conversation that deserves to be heard. She explores the question: To wear makeup or not to wear makeup? For some, makeup can boost confidence, enhance self-expression, and help them feel their best in a world that often promotes specific standards of beauty. For others, especially as they grow older, face health challenges, or seek a more natural lifestyle, makeup may become less important or even something they choose to avoid due to concerns about toxins and overall wellness. But this conversation goes far beyond makeup. She dives into the powerful impact that words and labels have on mental health. Terms like "survivor" and "fighter" are often used with good intentions, but do they resonate with everyone? What does it mean to be a cancer survivor, a suicide loss survivor, or a domestic violence survivor? And what about those who are living with cancer, or individuals who have survived a suicide attempt and continue to navigate thoughts of suicide every day? Language matters. The words that empower one person may not empower another. This episode encourages us to become more mindful of the labels we use, to ask questions instead of making assumptions, and to recognize that every person's journey is unique. Join Kelli for a meaningful discussion about confidence, beauty standards, health, identity, and the importance of choosing words that support rather than define others.

Send us Fan MailTuesday Talks: More Than Skin Deep | Episode 109In this episode of Tuesday Talks, Dan and Lacy answer a heartfelt listener question from someone preparing for an upcoming swinger cruise while navigating a rare skin condition. The listener wonders how — or even if — they should bring it up with potential play partners and fears it could affect confidence and connection.Dan and Lacy encourage the listener to simply own it with confidence and honesty, reminding them that it's probably a much bigger deal in their own mind than it will be to anyone else. They discuss how this advice applies far beyond one specific condition, touching on insecurities, physical flaws, scars, disabilities, and the things many people quietly worry about in intimate situations.The conversation becomes a reminder that everyone has something they're self-conscious about, and nobody is perfect. Confidence, authenticity, and self-acceptance go much further than trying to hide perceived flaws — especially in a community built on openness and connection.Get Tickets to Electric Pleasures- The Swing Nation - Main Website Quick Navigation Website: -- (Find all our social media links & more!)- Swinger Society - Our Website to meet, connect & events Swinger Society Discord Our Facebook Group- Swinger Websites -Kasadie 90 day free trialUsername: TheSwingNation SDC 14 day free trial Username: TheSwingNation** Use code 36313 for 14 days free! ** SLSUsername: NorthernGuynSouthernGirl- Merch & More -Order Your Merch Here!- Lacy's Fun Links -VIP OnlyFansPREMIUM OnlyFans-- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS --Wisp : Making sexual healthcare inclusive, cost-effective, and accessible—for everyoneUse Code SWING at checkout for 15% off your oder!Shameless Care: ED Medication and at home STD testingUse Code TSN at checkout for $30 off your order!Promescent® Make Love Longer, It's Time for Great SexUse Code SwingNation for 5% off!Support the show- Thank you for the support! -
Send us Fan MailSunscreen advice usually comes as a binary: fear the sun or ignore the risks. We take a different path and give you a practical framework for sun protection that doesn't sacrifice the real health benefits of sunlight. From the start, we separate the roles of UVA and UVB so you can understand what actually causes sunburn, what drives vitamin D production, and why UVA is linked with skin aging while still playing a role in nitric oxide release and circulation. Then we get concrete about “sensible sunlight exposure,” a balanced approach popularised by vitamin D researcher Dr Michael Holick. We talk about how timing, latitude, altitude, season, and skin pigmentation change your safe window for unprotected sun, and why regular gradual exposure can build a “solar callus” that improves tolerance. We also cover a detail many people miss: most household glass blocks UVB but allows UVA through, which matters for anyone spending long hours near windows or on the road. Finally, we tackle sunscreen safety and label reading. We discuss concerns around common sunscreen chemicals like parabens and benzophenone-3 (often called oxybenzone), the reality of transdermal absorption with frequent reapplication, and why combining products can amplify exposure, especially when sunscreen overlaps with insect repellent. We share how we use the Environmental Working Group (EWG) tools like the Skin Deep app, clarify what SPF and “broad spectrum” really mean, and name the mineral sunscreens we trust, with an emphasis on zinc oxide and non-nano options. If this helps you rethink your summer routine, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find smarter, safer guidance on sunlight, sunscreen, and skin health.Environmental Working Group: ewg.orgwww.thehealthedgepodcast.com

In this episode of The Holistic Kids Show, hosts Zane and Aman sit down with Dr. Mamina Turegano, MD — a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist based in New Orleans — to talk all things teen skin. Dr. Mamina shares why she takes an integrative approach to dermatology, blending conventional medicine with holistic and lifestyle-based treatments.

Does it block vitamin D? The difference between mineral and chemical sunscreens Simple daily habits that can transform your skin (and overall health) Why sugar, dairy, sleep, and stress all show up on your face Why young teens don't need fancy Sephora products — just a cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF Whether you're dealing with breakouts, confused by skincare trends, or just want to understand your body better, this episode is packed with real, science-backed, and actionable advice — delivered in a way that actually makes sense for teens.

Cultural testimony is that while we are in more contact with people than ever, but we are also feeling more isolated, disconnected, and lonely than ever. That's not a broad brush opinion but I continue to get the research and surveys to back this up. We seem to be a culture so hungry to be heard and understood and loved, and from this, we have become a culture working hard to tell. We tell our opinion and viewpoint and thoughts and feelings. And we ask fewer and fewer questions, and have fewer and fewer questions asked of us. But this isn't a focus on simply asking more questions, but asking meaningful questions that foster true connection. My guest calls them “well constructed” questions. Topaz Adizes is an Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and experience design architect. He is an Edmund Hillary fellow and Sundance/Skoll stories of change fellow. His works have been selected to Cannes, Sundance, IDFA, and SXSW; featured in New Yorker magazine, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times; and have garnered an Emmy for new approaches to documentary.

They may be married, parent and child, best friends, or any pairing of two people desiring a close relationship, and they take turns answering questions that Topaz and his team have prepared. Questions that open each other up and connect. I fascinate myself.

n a culture that normalizes medical means for non-medical problems, where do we draw the line in the pursuit of beauty?In This Episode We explore the ethics of cosmetic procedures—from “baby Botox” and fillers to plastic surgery—and what they communicate about our bodies, our worth, and our deepest desires. Through the story of “Katie” and reflections from Theology of the Body, we ask:Does altering a healthy body help us love ourselves…or teach us to reject the gift we've been given?Is cosmetic “enhancement” actually making women more confident, or more insecure?How do we distinguish healing therapies from enhancements driven by cultural pressure?What does aging reveal about love, humility, and what lasts forever?Mentioned & Linked in This EpisodeEssay: Reject and Inject: The Ethics of Cosmetic ProceduresConcepts from Theology of the Body (St. John Paul II)Reflections inspired by the life of Servant of God Chiara Corbella PetrilloCultural trends: “Sephora kids,” filters, and beauty consumerismResources from SamanthaBrave New Us podcast back catalogEssays on biotechnology, beauty culture, and being human at choosinghuman.orgSubscribe to the newsletter For essays, link roundups, and book updates.Grow Where You're Planted — preorder bonuses include a downloadable list of favorite non-toxic productsJoin the Conversation Have thoughts on this episode or beauty culture?

Hon gifte in sig i Hollywood-eliten. Hamnade i skuggan av sin man. Men tog revansch och blev en av världens största filmstjärnor. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Nicole Kidman slår igenom som ung skådespelare i Australien och tar sig till drömmarnas Hollywood. Men när hon gifter sig med världens största skådespelare, Tom Cruise, hamnar hon i hans skugga och reduceras till hans plus en på röda mattan. Samtidigt, avlyssnas hon av scientologernas innersta krets, enligt rörelsens avhoppare. När äktenskapet kraschar inför öppen ridå förväntar sig alla att hennes karriär ska gå samma väg. Istället blir hjärtesorgen hennes superkraft. Nicole kastar sig ut, vågar ta risker och visar världen att hon är en riktig filmstjärna. Sen dess har hon spelat otaliga komplexa kvinnoroller i alla möjliga genres, genom en 90 filmer lång karriär som sträcker sig över decennier.

On a summer morning in 2007, a woman was working in the printing shop she owned in a suburban strip mall. Suddenly, she heard a loud banging noise coming from somewhere above her. She stopped the printer she was working on so she could hear better, and the sound kept coming – BANG, BANG, BANG. It was like metal drawers opening and slamming shut. She was about to go outside to see what was happening, but she stopped and just started laughing. Her friend who owned the business on the second floor right above her had a habit of rearranging his office, so the banging was probably file cabinets getting moved around. As a joke, she shouted up through the ceiling, “Keep it down, I'm working!” And then she restarted the printer. But about an hour and half later, she heard another loud noise. This time, it was the wail of sirens as police cars raced into the parking lot. The woman would soon find out that the noises she had heard earlier were not her upstairs neighbor rearranging furniture. Instead, it was the sound of one of the most violent crimes to hit this safe, quiet suburb in years.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
