“We must have some room to breathe. We need freedom to think and permission to heal. Our relationships are being starved to death by velocity.” — Dr. Richard Swenson, The Overload SyndromeIn our fast-paced, always-on world, these words ring true. We're overloaded—physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. But what if the antidote to our exhaustion isn't doing more, but doing less? Today, let's look at rest from a biblical perspective.What Is Margin?Margin is the “room to breathe” that Dr. Swenson describes. It's the space between our load and our limits, which allows us to pause before we break.Too often, we end the day with nothing left—no time, energy, or money. Then the next day starts…full throttle again.That kind of lifestyle comes at a cost. The Sleep Foundation reports that nearly half of Americans experience trouble sleeping—a third of them get less than seven hours of sleep a night. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious (and expensive) health problems like anxiety, heart disease, and diabetes. It also undermines our relationships and decision-making.The truth? Rest is not a luxury. It's wisdom.God Created RestGod rested on the seventh day of Creation—not because He needed to, but because His work was complete. He blessed that rest and called it holy (Genesis 2:3).Later, He enshrined the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). Why? Because He knows our tendency to keep pushing ourselves, and He lovingly tells us to stop. As pastor and author Rich Villodas says:“God gives us Sabbath—he gives us rest—as a gift to remind us that our standing in Christ is not based on our works. When we rest, we're reminded: I'm not producing anything…and God still loves me.”Margin in a Work-Obsessed WorldTechnology allows us to work from anywhere, at any time. But just because we can doesn't mean we should. Rest gives us the strength and focus to do our work “as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23).Working late nights and skipping vacations might seem productive, but over time, they damage what matters most—our health, our relationships, and our spiritual lives.Rest doesn't mean avoiding work. It means working wisely and worshipfully—and stepping away when it's time to refuel.The Difference Between Rest and LazinessNow, let's be clear: Rest is not laziness.Laziness is neglecting what we're called to do. It violates God's design for us to work, serve, and create. Paul warned the Thessalonians to “warn those who are idle and disruptive” (1 Thess. 5:14), and added in 2 Thessalonians 3:11 that idleness often masks itself as busyness.Proverbs 31 praises the noble woman who works diligently. Verse 27 says she “does not eat the bread of idleness.” Laziness can show up subtly, like scrolling endlessly or shopping to avoid responsibility.Proverbs 24:30–31 tells of a neglected field, overgrown and crumbling, due to a lack of care. That's what happens when laziness takes root. But there's hope.Rest Is a Gift of GraceWhether you're burned out or stuck in patterns of procrastination, God's grace meets you where you are. Jesus doesn't offer a tighter schedule—He offers a lighter burden.“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened,” Jesus says, “and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)Rest isn't something you earn. It's something you receive. So step into the rhythm of grace, not guilt. Your soul—and your stewardship—depends on it.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My son is 26, and last year he was able to start a 401(k) with his job. I want to get him a Roth IRA and start with $200 to get something going. Is that a good idea?I'm 87 years old. If all my assets have beneficiaries designated, is there any reason to have probate, or is there a maximum dollar amount that requires probate, so I would have to get a trust?I pay my bills and save as much as I can. Is it okay for me to spend $10 at the Salvation Army to get a new church dress? I don't make much money, but I get paid every two weeks with a decent check.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Overload Syndrome: Learning to Live Within Your Limits by Dr. Richard A.

The Sleep Foundation defines it as: “the difference between the amount of sleep someone needs and the amount they actually get.” What can I do in the short term if I notice such symptoms? Can't I just lie in on the weekend? So how can we make up for lost sleep without disrupting our biological clock? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

And there's actually a term for these sensations: sleep drunkenness.  According to the Sleep Foundation, the average adult needs between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. But optimal sleep duration is unique for each of us. It can vary due to factors like genetics, age and lifestyle habits.

Dr. Richard Swenson, author of The Overload Syndrome and Margin, writes that… “We must have some room to breathe. We need freedom to think and permission to heal. Our relationships are being starved to death by velocity.”Too many people are physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially overloaded these days. So, we'll look at rest from a biblical perspective today.The Concept of MarginIn his writings, Dr. Richard Swenson introduces the concept of "margin"—essentially, it's the space to take a break before you break down. Many of us feel there's just not enough time, money, or energy left at the end of the day to recuperate, leading us to start the next day at full throttle again. This lifestyle, lacking margin, can have severe physical and financial consequences.Consider sleep, for instance. The Sleep Foundation reports that nearly half of people in the U.S. struggle with sleep, and about one-third of adults sleep less than seven hours each night. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to expensive health issues like diabetes, anxiety, obesity, and heart disease. Additionally, research from Sleep Advisor indicates that over 2 percent of the U.S. GDP is lost due to workers' lack of proper sleep.Working late nights and weekends might seem necessary if you feel like life is moving too fast. However, burning the candle at both ends is ultimately unproductive. Exhaustion leaves no energy for the most important things—your relationships with others and the Lord.Work and Rest: Finding the Right BalanceWhile God calls us to work for our families, His Kingdom, and the community, He also emphasizes the need for rest. Rest is God's idea as much as work is. God rested on the seventh day of Creation—not out of tiredness, but because His work was complete. He blessed that rest and called it holy. The Sabbath, enshrined as one of the Ten Commandments, shows how much God values rest. We need time to be with the Lord, reconnect with loved ones, relax, enjoy God's creation, exercise, breathe deeply, and sleep!Technology enables us to work from anywhere at any time, but that doesn't mean we should. Creating margin in our work means getting enough rest to do our jobs “as unto the Lord” with purpose and energy. Staying late at the office or skipping vacations might make you look diligent, but the stress and broken relationships that follow are too high a price for professional progress.However, it's important to distinguish between proper rest and laziness. Laziness is choosing not to do what you're supposed to or doing the bare minimum. This goes against God's purpose for us, which involves good works. In his first letter to the Thessalonians, Paul advises the church to “…warn those who are idle and disruptive,” implying that inactivity can lead to trouble. The saying “Idle hands are the devil's workshop” is a testament to this idea.The Dangers of IdlenessIn 1 Timothy 5, Paul highlights other dangers of idleness, such as gossiping and leading others into sin. Idleness, unproductiveness, and laziness open the door to harmful habits. Contrarily, Proverbs 31 praises the “woman of noble character” for her hard work in caring for her family, running her business, training her workers, and providing for the poor. Verse 27 confirms that she “does not eat the bread of idleness.”Laziness can also mean spending too much time on unimportant activities like endless scrolling through Instagram or mindlessly shopping online. At its core, laziness is a failure to take care of responsibilities. Paul provides a stern example in 1 Timothy 5:8, stating, “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”If laziness tempts you, turn to Jesus in prayer. 1 John 1:9 assures us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”Whether your issue is working too hard or hardly working, it's time to restore the margin in your work and finances. Do your work “as unto the Lord,” as Colossians 3:23 advises. And if you're feeling overwhelmed, find comfort in Jesus' words from Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Where should I go to find a Certified Kingdom Advisor to get a referral for a godly estate planning attorney?I paid a capital gains tax a few years ago when I sold some stock. Even though my income from my job was below the limit to be taxed at 0% for long-term capital gains, they taxed me on the full capital gains amount as if that was my adjusted gross income. I want to check with my tax preparer since I thought I should have gotten taxed at 0% based on my income that year.Please give me a simplified explanation of a money market account. My new husband and I are considering putting some retirement money into one.Given all the economic uncertainties, does it make sense for someone in their 70s who is still working, with money in a 401k and savings account, to consider spending that money now on something of value like real estate? I'm concerned about the dollar's devaluation and wanted your perspective on proactively spending the money versus letting it sit in investments and seeing what happens.Resources Mentioned:The Overload Syndrome: Learning to Live Within Your Limits by Dr. Richard SwensonMargin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives by Dr. Richard SwensonBankrate.comRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by anxiety is a common struggle for many people. When anxiety takes hold, it can leave you feeling drained and fatigued, making it difficult to find the energy to tackle even the simplest of tasks. But there is hope. This article will explore strategies for combating anxiety-induced fatigue and reclaiming your energy levels. First, it's important to recognize the link between anxiety and fatigue. Anxiety triggers a stress response in the body, which releases hormones that can deplete your energy levels. Understanding this connection is crucial in finding effective strategies to combat fatigue. Second, you need to start making changes. But that can seem daunting when you have no energy. In this article, we'll delve into what leads to anxiety-induced fatigue and then look at some practical strategies to help you regain your energy, including one technique that delivers almost immediate results. Understanding Anxiety-Induced Fatigue Anxiety-induced fatigue is the result of the body's stress response, which is activated during anxious states. When we're anxious, our bodies release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones are beneficial in short-term, fight-or-flight situations, but when anxiety is prolonged, they can lead to chronic energy depletion and disrupt normal bodily functions.Harvard Health Publishing. (2022). Understanding the stress response. Retrieved from https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/understanding-the-stress-response This constant hormone release not only interferes with sleep but also leads to further fatigue.Mayo Clinic. (2022). Stress symptoms: Effects on your body and behavior. Retrieved from https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/stress-symptoms/art-20050987 Furthermore, chronic anxiety can cause a continuous mental load, where the mind is always 'on', consuming significant energy and leading to exhaustion. This persistent mental activity, especially when dealing with negative thoughts, drains our energy resources, contributing to fatigue.American Psychological Association. (2022). Stress effects on the body. Retrieved from https://www.apa.org/topics/stress/body To combat this fatigue, understanding these mechanisms is crucial. Managing stress hormones through relaxation techniques and cognitive-behavioral strategies can help reduce the mental and physical toll of anxiety. Additionally, addressing sleep issues and optimizing nutrition can aid the body's recovery from this constant state of alertness.Sleep Foundation. (2022). The connection between stress and sleep. Retrieved from https://www.sleepfoundation.org/mental-health/stress-and-sleep,Nutrition Journal. (2021). The role of diet and nutrition on mental health and wellbeing. Retrieved from https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937-021-00713-4 The Link Between Anxiety and Fatigue Anxiety and fatigue are intricately linked through both physiological and psychological pathways. When the body is in a state of anxiety, it's in a heightened state of alertness, which is physically and mentally exhausting. This continuous state of stress activates the body's sympathetic nervous system, leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this can lead to adrenal fatigue, where the body's ability to manage stress diminishes, causing chronic tiredness​​.American Psychological Association. (2022). Stress effects on the body. Retrieved from https://www.apa.org/topics/stress/body Psychologically, anxiety consumes a lot of mental energy. Constant worrying, overthinking, and being in a state of fear or nervousness take a toll on mental resources, leading to mental fatigue. This mental exhaustion can manifest as physical tiredness, as the body and mind are closely connected​​.Psychology Today. (2021). The connection between mental and physical health.

So I did some research and asked some questions to get to the bottom of this topic. In this episode, you'll find out all about cannabis and sleep, including: -What the research shows -The side effects of cannabis for sleep -The differences between THC and CBD for sleep -How it affects the sleep stages -How it affects neurotransmitters and hormones -My recommendations for whether to use cannabis or not The bottom line is that cannabis is a Band-aid. It's not solving what's out of balance in your body that's keeping you from sleeping normally. The way to sleep better naturally and permanently is to find out what's out of whack in your body that's sabotaging your sleep and fix those imbalances. And make sure that your mind isn't keeping from you sleeping. My Complete Sleep Solution program helps you restore your health so you can fall asleep quickly, stay asleep all night, and get the rest you need to have energy, be in a good mood, and enjoy your life!

Many of us hold our tongues or clench our teeth to protect ourselves from saying what you really want to say. Or feel. And for most of us, that works and we go about our day. But if you are clenching and grinding your teeth on a daily basis there is going to be a problem.    Sometimes with your jaw. Or wearing away your teeth. Or having headaches or something worse.   In this episode, a look at what jaw clenching and teeth grinding and some of the things you can do to reduce the symptoms. The medical term is called bruxism.    I do want to mention that I did not make any references to medication. That is because there can be non-anxiety related forms of bruxism. There can be structural problems with the jaw or mouth.   If that is the source of the problem, then that is more of a dental treatment issue. I'm looking at jaw clenching and teeth grinding from a stress and anxiety point of view.    If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text “START” to 741-741.

What questions do you have about alcohol, insomnia and sleep in sobriety?  You might be wondering… Does alcohol help you get to sleep?  What contributes to good sleep?  Why am I so tired in early sobriety? What can I do if I can't sleep early sobriety? When will I start sleeping well after I stop drinking?  So here's the big question: does alcohol help you sleep?  Nope. Alcohol is a sedative that makes you feel sleepy, but it actually significantly decreases your sleep quality (and leads directly to those awful 3am hangxiety wake ups).  In fact, a Sleep Foundation study found that for women less than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 9.3%, one drink decreases your sleep quantity by 24% and more than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 39.2%.  For full show notes and resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/114   Ready to drink less + live more?

英语新闻|为什么发烧时会做奇怪的噩梦？There are many reasons why it is difficult to have a good rest when you have a cold and fever. It's hard to get a good night's sleep when you have a stuffy nose, a persistent cough, or other intolerable symptoms. When you have a fever, it is more difficult to ensure high-quality sleep. Another reason is that you often have strange dreams when you have a fever. So why does a fever cause strange nightmares? Scientists have some speculation about this.感冒发烧时很难好好休息，这其中有很多原因。当你鼻塞、不停咳嗽或还伴有其他难以忍受的症状时，想要睡个好觉是很难的。发烧时会更加难以保障高质量的睡眠，还有一个原因是发烧时经常会做一些奇怪诡异的梦。那么为什么发烧会引发奇怪的噩梦？对此科学家们有一些猜测。Getting a solid night's rest when you're sick can seem like an unattainable goal for any number of reasons. It's difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep when you're plagued by a stuffy nose, a ceaseless cough, or some combination of those and other intolerable symptoms.生病时似乎很难安睡一夜，这其中有很多原因。当你鼻塞、不停咳嗽或还伴有其他难以忍受的症状时，就会难以入睡且容易醒来。Fevers can make quality sleep even harder, thanks in part to fever dreams: especially vivid, weird, or downright disturbing dreams that occur when you have a fever. As the Sleep Foundation explains, fever dreams sometimes involve “spatial distortion,” such as moving walls and melting objects; “threats or danger,” which can be anything from insects to terrorists; and illness. If you were to have a dream fitting this description when you weren't sick, you might just write it off as a garden-variety nightmare. But since people seem to experience such strange dreams more often during fevers, it's given rise to the idea that the two things must be linked.发烧时更难保障高质量的睡眠，部分原因是“发烧梦”，它尤其指当你发烧时会出现的生动、怪异或令人不安的梦。睡眠基金会解释称，“发烧梦”里有时会出现“空间扭曲”，例如移动的墙壁和融化的物体；“威胁或危险”，如昆虫、恐怖分子等各种元素；以及疾病。如果你在没生病时做了一个符合上述特征的梦，你可能会把它当作一场普通的噩梦。但由于人们似乎在发烧时更经常做这种奇怪的梦，因此会认为两者之间一定存在联系。While there's a lot about fever dreams we don't know, there is at least a little evidence supporting the theory that some people's fever dreams are different from their regular dreams. In one retrospective study from 2016, researchers asked 62 people to describe past fever dreams and found them to be “more bizarre, more emotionally intense, and often negatively toned than [regular] dream[s] from an age- and gender matched sample.”Of the 164 people who participated in a 2020 survey, 100 reported fever dreams. The researchers noted that these dreams “included more references to health and temperature perception compared to ‘normal' most recent dreams.”我们对“发烧梦”的了解并不多，但一些人的“发烧梦”与他们平时做的梦不同，至少关于这一点是有据可循的。在2016年的一项回顾性研究中，研究人员要求62人描述曾经做过的“发烧梦”，结果发现，这些梦境“比年龄和性别匹配的研究样本做的（普通）梦更奇怪，情绪更强烈，而且往往是消极的”。在2020年一项164人参与的调查中，有100人报告做过“发烧梦”。研究人员指出，“与近期‘寻常'的梦境相比，这些梦出现了更多关于健康和温度感知的内容”。As for why fevers beget bizarre nightmares, scientists have some ideas.“[One] theory is that the brain doesn't process sensations normally when we have a fever,” Dr. Beth Malow, director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center's sleep division, told Health in 2020. So burning up in your bed might just manifest itself in a dream full of melting objects and seemingly unrelated perils.至于为什么发烧会引发奇怪的噩梦，科学家们有一些猜测。2020年，范德比尔特大学医学中心睡眠科主任贝思·马洛博士在接受《健康》杂志采访时称，“有一种理论认为，当我们发烧时，大脑无法正常处理感觉。”因此，睡觉时发烧，感觉到的可能只会是一个充满融化的物体和看似无关的危险梦境。The reason fever dreams seem so vivid could be related to fever's tendency to interfere with REM sleep: the period of deepest sleep during which most dreams occur. As Dr. Alcibiades Rodriguez, medical director of NYU Langone Health's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center-Sleep Center, told Health, “If we get a spike in fever during REM sleep, we may feel more uncomfortable and have micro-arousals (shifts between deep and light sleep). This increases the likelihood of us remembering our dreams.”“发烧梦”如此逼真的原因可能与发烧有干扰快速眼动睡眠的倾向有关。快速眼动睡眠是最深的睡眠期，大多数梦都是在这一时期发生的。纽约大学朗格尼医学中心癫痫-睡眠综合中心医学主任阿尔西比亚德斯·罗德里格斯博士告诉《健康》杂志，“如果我们在快速眼动睡眠期间发烧，可能会感到更不舒服，并产生微觉醒（深浅睡眠之间的转换）。这增加了我们记住梦的可能性。”persistent英[pəˈsɪstənt]；美[pərˈsɪstənt]adj.持续的；坚持不懈的；持久的；坚持不渝combination英[ˌkɒmbɪˈneɪʃn]；美[ˌkɑːmbɪˈneɪʃn]n.结合（体）；联合（体）retrospective英[ˌretrəˈspektɪv]；美[ˌrɛtrəˈspɛktɪv]adj.回顾的；怀旧的；【法】有追溯力的；可追溯的n.回顾展sensations英[senˈseɪʃn]；美[senˈseɪʃn]n.感觉；直觉；知觉；轰动manifest英[ˈmænɪfest]；美[ˈmænɪfest]vt.显示，表明；证明；使显现adj.明白的，明显的n.货单，旅客名单

After watching the Hawkeye series on Disney+, Shua wanted to check out the classic comic series by Matt Fraction that inspired so much of the show. Great art, story, and characters. Enjoy Movies! What are dreams? Well, according to the Sleep Foundation, “Dreams are images, thoughts, or feelings that occur during sleep.” There's a lot of speculation about why we dream, but there's no arguing that the idea makes for a great movie-making opportunity. Let's take a look at Dream Movies!   Dreams with actual dreaming- A classic movie with dreams as the central plot is the 1984 Dennis Quaid thriller Dreamscape. It explored the idea that some could go into your mind with you to control your dreams and even kill you! The same year, Nightmare on Elm Street looked at it from an even scarier point of view. Films like Wizard of Oz and Brazil tell stories that connect our dreams to reality. And Inception created dreams within dreams to give Leonardo DiCaprio opportunities to make us question what we're seeing.    Daydreaming- But you don't have to be asleep to let dreams affect the way you behave. Ralphie daydreamed about his Red Ryder BB gun until his dream finally came true (and his mother's nightmare that he'd shoot his eye out). And The Secret Life of Walter Mitty showed how daydreams can be both dangerous to your mental health but also inspiring.    Was it actually a dream?- Some of the most thrilling dream movies make us wonder if we're watching reality or that character's subconscious dealing with a crazy world. Did Quaid really save Mars in Total Recall? Was Neo really plugged into the Matrix? And did George Bailey ever really exist in Bedford Falls, or is It's A Wonderful Life just a bunch of bunk?!   Grab your Teddy and snuggle up with Jay and Shua as we take a trip around the world and back, and explore the world in your mind.    What dream movies do you enjoy?

Episode 72: Depression in Adolescents.  COVID-19 vaccine updates including booster shots and mix and match options. Depression in adolescents is discussed by Virginia Bustamante, Charizza Besmanos, and Hector Arreaza. Introduction: COVID Vaccines Update October 2021Written by Hector Arreaza, MD. Participation: Lillian Petersen, RN, and Nathan Heathcoat, MS3.  The FDA granted emergency use authorization for a booster shot with the Pfizer/BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine in September 2020.On October 20, 2021, the FDA also granted emergency use authorization for a booster shot with the Moderna AND Johnson & Johnson (also known as Janssen or J&J) COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer/BioNtech: Brand name Comirnaty®. It has full FDA approval for patients who are 18 years and older for the prevention of COVID-19. The rest of the indications of this vaccine are under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). It is authorized for 12 years and older. Total of two doses, 21 days apart. Authorized for 3rd dose in immunocompromised patients (on active cancer treatment, organ transplant recipients, taking immunosuppressive or high dose corticosteroids, have moderate to severe immunodeficiency). 3rd dose is given at least 1 month after the second dose. It is authorized for a single booster shot in special populations (older than 65 years of age OR 18-64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19 or with frequent occupational exposure). The booster shot must be given 6 months after the primary series is complete.Moderna: No brand name yet. All uses are under emergency use authorization. It is authorized for 18 years and older for the prevention of COVID-19. Give a total of two doses, 4 weeks apart. A third dose is authorized to be given 1 month after the second dose. Patients who can receive a third dose include patients on active cancer treatment, organ transplant recipients, taking immunosuppressive or high dose corticosteroids, or have an immunodeficiency. It is authorized for a single booster shot 6 months after completing primary series. The booster shot of Moderna should be half dose. People who may receive a booster shot are those who are older than 65 years of age OR 18-64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19 or with frequent occupational exposure.Johnson & Johnson (Janssen): No brand name yet. Authorized as a single dose vaccine. Authorized for a single booster shot 2 months after the first dose. Mix and Match Approval: The FDA authorized on October 20, 2021, heterologous booster dose for currently approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines. You can give a booster shot with a different vaccine than the one you received primarily. For example, a patient who received J&J vaccine may receive a booster shot with Pfizer or Moderna 2 months later. Another example, a patient received primary series of Pfizer vaccine, may receive a booster shot with Moderna, Pfizer or J&J 6 months after completing primary series. Booster shots are authorized, again, for patients who are 65 years and older, 18-64 years of age at high-risk for severe COVID-19 or with frequent occupational exposure.The vaccination of children 5-11 years old is still under discussion, more updates coming soon.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

I was reading a piece on the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Adolescent Mental Health on Psychiatry Advisor by Tori Rodriguez. She is a licensed professional counselor with a master's in arts in counseling psychology. This article really got me thinking, how prevalent is depression in adolescents? Even before COVID-19. I read the article and I wasn't even aware of the numbers. So, I decided to do some research on the topic. Charizza: When you brought up the topic for discussion, I asked myself how much do I even know? I found that the CDC reported that “more than 1 in 3 high school students had experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2019.” This was a 40% increase since 2009. It also said that, “in 2019 about 1 in 6 youth reported making a suicide plan in in the past year. That was a 44% increase since 2009.” 44% increase! That is almost unbelievable. Now I'm asking myself what is causing such a drastic increase.Vicky: When I read Rodriguez's piece it really got me thinking. What is or are there even known causes linked to this huge increase?Charizza: Are adolescents more open to talk about mental illness? Or are there other factors affecting their mental illness? For example, increasing social media presence or other home/ social pressures. Vicky: Actually, that may be partially why. The U.S. News and World Report wrote a piece that highlighted the possible contributing factors that have led to this increase. They stated that data hasn't really shown a conclusive answer but there are some common themes that have emerged. And I'd like to spend much of this podcast really going into those themes and discussing them. The U.S. News and World Report listed five common themes. Theme one, what they called “a modern-day diagnosis” - where they reference a John Hopkins Health Review which explained that adolescent depression is somewhat of a new diagnosis. Charizza: Up until about the 1980's mental health professionals were reluctant to diagnose adolescents with a mood disorder. Because their brains were still developing, they thought it was not appropriate to diagnose someone so young with, for example depression. Vicky: Yes exactly, so the current thought is, that perhaps this change of thinking has played a part in the increasing numbers in the form of increased reporting and/or documentation. The second theme they listed was “hyper-connected & overstimulated.” This stems from how our world is today. Where electronic devices and social media are a big part of young people's lives. The idea that they have a life in the real world and the virtual world.  Charizza:  I read a study on Teens, Social Media and Technology, a Pew Research Center study, that more than 95% of teenagers have access to a smartphone and 45% of them described themselves as being online “almost constantly.”  Vicky: To think, how does this affect the way they see themselves? For maybe a lot of us listening right now we've been on social media. That could be Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok, and going way back Myspace. We know that social media can be an amazing place to share our lives but can also be filled with a lot of criticism.Arreaza: Have you heard of “FOMO”? It's “Fear of Missing Out”. It's a condition that can cause severe anxiety because others are having fun, or you missed a particular event, memorable experience, or an opportunity to connect with someone famous, or an online investment. People with FOMO need to stay always connected. Vicky: The Journal of Abnormal Psychology explained that the spike in depression and suicidal tendencies may be connected to social media among young people. They went on to describe how it's not uncommon for young people to measure their self-worth based on the likes. I've been there. Questioning myself whether to post or not post a picture based on whether it's “Instagram worthy”? Will it get enough likes to be posted? Rather than sharing moments of my life with friends and family as the platform was intended to. Charizza: It's not something I'm proud of but I've gotten sucked into the fake reality of online. That's why I reduced my social media presence. Vicky: Was there a specific reason or situation that led to that?Charizza: I just felt like that it was taking more energy than it was meant for. And honestly I've felt happier since not really using my Facebook anymore. Vicky: If that makes you happier, I support it. I mean I might consider it myself. Arreaza: Yes, a social media “fasting” may be beneficial for some people. Vicky: For the third theme, the article referred to what they called “uncertain times.”Charizza: What does that even mean?Vicky: Each generation is influenced and shaped, in a positive or negative way, by the events happening at that time in history. And sadly, today's young people have grown up in a post-9-1-1 world, mass terrorist attacks, and shootings whether that be high schools, malls, and even churches. All these events mean that young people may know the fear of terrorism. A sense of security has been taken from them by these awful and cowardly attacks of others. Charizza: I had a friend who was afraid to go to the movies after the 2012 Aurora Colorado shooting. For a long time, every time she went, she couldn't sit there and enjoy the movie. She kept turning around looking at the door every time it opened. Afraid something would happen. So, thinking of that and thinking that others may be going through similar and even more difficult times, I can completely understand this contributing depression among young people. Vicky: This fear and stress appears to be contributing to the increase in depression. The fourth theme was “not enough sleep.” The Nation Sleep Foundations recommends teens get 8.5 to 9.5 hours and instead teens get around 7 hours. When I am well rested, I perform my best. My energy, memory and overall mood is better. But with school, work, and everything else it's hard sometimes to get the hours I need. I mean I don't know about you Charizza, but I can work on getting more sleep. Charizza: Sadly, I struggle with it too. But for adolescents where they're still developing and undergoing different physiological changes those hours are especially important. The Sleep Foundation stressed the importance of sleep for teens. They talk about how it helps with physical development - with all the changes they are undergoing, academic achievement - by promoting attention, improving memory (like you brought up), and definitely helps with emotional health. The website states that mental health disorders for example anxiety, depression, and even bipolar disorder have been linked to poor sleep. They even stated that sleep deprivation in teenagers can increase the risk for suicide.Arreaza: A poor sleep also can lead to obesity in adolescents and adults. Something we should remember is also the timing of sleep for adolescents. The sleep pattern changes over the lifetime of people, and it's not only in duration, but also the time they sleep. Normally, a teenager tends to go to bed late and wake up late. For this reason, high school schedules are being changed in California to start at 8:00 AM. Vicky: It sounds like improving sleep in adolescents can be a great way of preventing mental health disorders or even reducing their symptoms. The last and fifth theme discussed in The U.S. News and World Report as a possible contributing factor to the increase in adolescent depression is a “lack of community.” This goes back to the world we live in today. We live with this - what the article quotes as - “go-go mentality” and the community we would have previously built or created around us have gotten smaller. So as they quoted “our face-to-face connections” have decreased.Charizza: Is there anything they suggest?Vicky: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends primary caregivers screen adolescents 12-18 for depression. But this doesn't always happen. They suggested that identifying adolescent depression should NOT be something that only falls on the medical provider but something we should ALL be responsible for. We can do this by building healthy and trusting relationships with our young people. Hopefully also rebuild this sense of community. Today we highlighted some themes that are possibly related to the increase in adolescent depression. Those were: the idea of a modern-day diagnosis, second being hyper-connected & overstimulated, third the uncertain times we live in, fourth not enough sleep, and lastly the sense of a lack of community. Charizza: We hope you guys all really enjoyed listening. And remember if you are or know someone struggling with depression and/or suicide thoughts reach out to someone. Let someone know how you are doing. Tell a teacher, adult, someone. Vicky: If you for whatever reason don't feel comfortable doing that or feel you may not have someone to reach out to and are in danger of hurting yourself or others please call 911. Charizza: There are also national suicide prevention hotlines. That is 1-800-SUICIDE and that's 1-800-SUICIDE. There is also 1-800-273-TALK, again that's 1-800-273-TALKVicky: There is also the Mary K Shell Mental Health Center with a walk-in crisis center. They are located here in Bakersfield on College and Mt. Vernon. They are actually in the same parking lot as Kern Medical Center. Their number is 661- 868-8123.________________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 72 “Depression in Adolescents.” Our adolescent patients are a special population, so special that you can even do a fellowship after finishing your residency. Our adolescents are under a lot of pressure, especially during this era of social media. Remember to screen for depression and start treatment right away with behavioral therapy and medications as needed or refer your depressed patients to a psychiatrist to start treatment promptly. Do not forget to assess risk of suicide and act fast to prevent suicide in your patients. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

Sleep debt is the difference between the sleep we GET and what we actually NEED. For example, if your body needs eight hours of sleep per night, but you only get six — you have two hours of sleep debt. The good news is, knowledge is power. When you know about sleep debt, you can make smarter choices. So let’s teach you how to make those smart sleep choices Links ‘Sleep Debt: Can You Catch up on Sleep?’ | Sleep Foundation - https://bit.ly/sleepdebt-sleepfoundation.

I had the opportunity to sit down with celebrity cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bill Dorfman. We chatted about how he came up in the world from childhood to creating one of the most famous dentist practices in Studio City, CA. On top of the practice he created, he also started Discus Dental with a dear friend of his, which was a global leader in professional tooth whitening products with brands such as Zoom®!, BriteSmile®, and NiteWhite® and they eventually sold the company to Royal Philips Electronics for millions. Dr. Bill has appeared on Larry King Live, Oprah, The Doctors and was the only dentist to appear on ABC's Extreme Makeover. Now with his extremely successful career, he has turned some of his focus towards philanthropy and the LEAP Foundation for high school and college students. You're going to see this side of Dr. Bill and his passion towards entrepreneurship, success, giving back and his foundation. As always, thanks so much for listening to the podcast and I would so appreciate a rating of 5 starts and a review. It would really mean the world to me.

Dr. Bill, welcome.   Dr. Bill: Thank you. How are you?   Joe: Great. So it's a pleasure to have you here with a lot of the guests that I have on, I really like to give the audience an idea of who you are and not just jump in to where we are today. So if can you give us some background of your time line, how you decided to get into dentistry where you grew up, just kind of bring us up to today is is slow, slower, as fast as you want to.   Dr. Bill: Sure, I am a native of California, I grew up in Granada Hills as a little kid, I happen to have an accident where I knocked out my baby teeth. We had a great family dentist. And at some point I just thought this would be a cool thing to do and help people the way he helped me. And so at the age of about three, I said, I'm going to be a dentist. And it just never wavered. I was a weird kid. I mean, how many kids want to be a dentist? Right. But I've always been weird and I've always kind of marched to the beat of a different drum. I never felt like I fit into any, like, group or peg. I just kind of always did my own thing. I was like the Switzerland of a kid. I was friends with everybody, but not really part of anything, you know, like I swam. But I wasn't always with the swimmers and I played football, but I wasn't with the football players and student government. But, like, I just was kind of a free spirited kid that didn't really I didn't really, like, do what most normal kids do. I don't know. It was funny. I had this conversation with my parents recently and I said, you know.   Dr. Bill: How was I as a kid, like was I easy to raise, hard to raise, and they're like, you are perfect like you. And, you know, and I honestly don't ever remember I never argued with my parents. I never got into trouble. I was a weird kid. I just I always just kind of did what I was supposed to do. I guess it was in my mind, like the path of least resistance. I didn't smoke. I didn't drink. I didn't do drugs. Like I mean, I always kind of just did what I was supposed to do and I was happy go lucky guy. And, you know, I went to school and it's funny because I was always voted most likely to succeed in kindergarten, in grade school and junior high and high. And I was like, why do people always say that? I don't know. It was just a weird thing, even in dental school and. You know, we grew up really poor. I mean, I was one of five kids, I started working when I was five years old. I had a job. I worked in in the in the yard for neighbors. I would go pick weeds. And then when I was old enough to push a lawnmower, I would pull weeds and do the lawn mower.   Dr. Bill: And then when I got a little bit older, I got a job working at Ralph's, which is a grocery store. And then I worked as a janitor. My mother was a nursery school teacher. And so I would go to school and I would work as a janitor and clean the schools. And, you know, my parents, I would say we were rich, rich, rich in love, poor monetary things. And maybe that was good, you know? I mean, I literally supported myself. I mean, outside of buying food, all my clothes, everything I wanted, I just I bought you know, it's funny because I have three daughters and I almost feel like when they got into college, I got into college, too, because I was so active in helping them write their entrance stuff and did it. But my parents had no idea. You know, one day I got a letter, I'm like, Hey, Mom, Dad, I'm going to UCLA. They're like, Oh, that's great, sweetie. Then they'll clue, you know? I mean, it was just that's just how it was. I was the independent kid. I just did my own thing. I remember. Graduating UCLA, I got a call from the dean's office and I was awarded the outstanding senior award, which is kind of a big deal, right?   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: So I call my folks and my mom, dad, I get on the phone, they're both on the phone. I'm like, you won't believe this. I said, well, I just got a call from the dean's office and I'm going to be the outstanding senior at UCLA graduating class. My mother says, What's not to believe? A lot. They picked me, there's ten thousand students,   Joe: Right.   Dr. Bill: She goes, darling, do you really think there's somebody better?   Joe: That's awesome.   Dr. Bill: I'm like, Mom, you're like totally missing. My parents had no idea. And it was actually kind of funny, you know, and, you know, so, you know, I kind of went through and I graduate UCLA. I finished that, you know, going to UCLA. And then I got in a dental school. My first choice is dental, which was a great school. It was a three year program. And as I was entering my senior year, I realized, you know, I've never seen the world or anything. Actually, I had never even really been on an airplane. And it's like I need to open up this practice and be tethered to a specific area. Like I didn't want to do that. So I did some research and I found a program in Switzerland that was the only clinic literally in the world that wasn't a third world country where an American dentist could work legally. Problem is, there were four hundred applicants and only one position, and I was bound and determined to get that. So I had every professor in my dental school write me a letter of recommendation. And they were amazing letters, you know. I know. I wrote them all I   Joe: That's   Dr. Bill: Mean,   Joe: Right.   Dr. Bill: Basically, I would say, can you write me a letter and they do I know I have to   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: Write another letter and then say I'll write it if your personal lives. So I did that and I soon realized that was getting me nowhere. So then I started calling the director of the clinic back in nineteen eighty three. This was not easy. We didn't have cell phones. You know, I, you know, I couldn't make long distance phone calls from my dental school, you know, what am I getting like keep putting quarters like a lot of your millennialist. Don't you know that you actually used to have to put money in a pay   Joe: Exactly,   Dr. Bill: Phone. Right.   Joe: I was there.   Dr. Bill: Right. So there is and you can use a credit card and none of this. So I would have to time it at home. And and even then, it wasn't easy. A lot of times you couldn't get through. It didn't work at the bank. I start calling him and calling him and I tell kids and we'll talk about my leave program a little later on, there will be life defining moments in your life. Sometimes you plan on, sometimes you don't. Sometimes they just happen. And this was one that I really didn't plan, but it was so fortuitous that it happened. And I'm on the phone with the director. His name was Mr. Schreyer. And I said as I realized I was getting nowhere with these phone calls. Can I take you to lunch? Because I had heard somewhere that, like, you should take people to lunch   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: And the crazy thing is and he said it, he goes, But you're in San Francisco and I'm in Switzerland, I'm like, no problem, I'll fly there. Which is even crazier because I was broke like I had no money. I couldn't even afford, like the 30 cents to go on the bus every day of school. That's how broke I was. I would walk like two miles. And so he said yes. And I figured out a way to borrow money. And I went to Switzerland   Joe: Wait, but don't   Dr. Bill: And   Joe: Go past   Dr. Bill: I.   Joe: This point. Wait, I want to know what you told your parents when you said I'm going to Switzerland to take the head of the department at the dental school. Out to lunch. I want to know what your parents said to that.   Dr. Bill: They thought it was a great idea.   Joe: That's incredible.   Dr. Bill: Good luck. You know,   Joe: That's   Dr. Bill: I mean,   Joe: Awesome.   Dr. Bill: They had no clue. So anyhow, I did it. There was a girl that I had been friends with my whole life that, you know, I had kind of hoped that I would marry one day. That never happened. But we're still best friends. But I took her with me and I figured if I got stuck on words, she was very talkative and she could help me out. But the two of us took him to lunch and he hired me.   Joe: That's   Dr. Bill: And   Joe: Incredible.   Dr. Bill: It literally changed my life. I mean, I got an opportunity to live in Europe. For two years, I learned how to ski trip about salesmanship of the scandal to I'm completely fluent in French. I   Joe: Wow.   Dr. Bill: And I was really not gifted in languages in school. I mean, and I still I have a godson in Switzerland. I mean and I still have very close friends there. So it was a great, great, great experience for me. And it really gave me an opportunity to see the world. I came back to L.A. I really became enamored with cosmetic dentistry as opposed to just general dentistry. And so I did something that we also teach Italy. It's called Kopi Genius. I realized that the last thing Beverly Hills needed was another cosmetic dentist. So I found the five most successful cosmetic dentists and I called all of them and I said, Can I come in Chattanooga? Shadowing wasn't even a thing back then like they were what do what   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: I'm like now coming to watch you. And I did. And, you know, there weren't a lot of students at the time doing this, but they all five of them said the same thing to me. You're really different. I think what they were saying in a nice way is you're weird, but they're really different, you know, because students would come in and watch me do dentistry. And that's not what I did. What I did was I went in, I wanted to see how they brought the patients in the intake forms, what they said to the patients, how they brought them back to the treatment rooms, how they presented the treatment, and then how they performed the treatment, and then how they took the patient out of the room, how they collected money. I wanted to get paid and I didn't know how to collect money from people working in dental school. They teach you how to drill teeth. And in the clinic in Switzerland, I didn't have to deal with money. I just did the work. So I wanted to learn how a business ran and all that. And I sat there like a sponge in these offices. And my goal was to make an office better than theirs, to take the best of the best from all of these these guys and make a better dental office.   Dr. Bill: And within two years I did it. You know, I had the busiest and probably still have the busiest dental office in all of Beverly Hills because I copy Genius and that's what I did on Instagram and Instagram became popular. I didn't just do it. I hired a whole team. I'm only going to in the world with a million followers on Instagram. You know, I didn't just do it. One of the things I teach, at least when you go go big and that's what I do, if I'm going to do something, I commit and I do it. So, you know, I started this dental practice soon after that, I started a company called Discus Dental where I invented Zoom. And we grew that company from zero to one point three dollars billion in sales. And I did it by hiring a great team. My best friend, Robert Heyman, was my business partner and he was a genius. And his father was Fred Hammond, who created Beverly Hills Giorgio Cosmetics, two seven, three of all Fred.   Joe: Well.   Dr. Bill: So Robert grew up in that industry. So he knew marketing and manufacturing and advertising. I knew dentistry and advertising. And together we built the largest tooth whitening company in the world. Zoom became Q to became the number one to fly new product in the world. And then we sold that company to Phillips back in 2010. And since then, I've been the featured dentist on ABC's Extreme Makeover, CBS of Doctors New York Times, best selling author, 20 Lifetime Achievement Award. Three Children, two ex-wives. This Thrill Ride.   Joe: Incredible. So I have to ask you, and this is for the entrepreneurs in the audience, because the question that would come to my mind is you're fresh back in the states from Switzerland and you decide that you're going to plant roots and probably one of the most expensive real estate areas in the world. How do you start up a dental office in the heart of Beverly Hills?   Dr. Bill: So I basically didn't put all my eggs in one basket, I grew up in Granada Hills, the difference between Granada Hills and Beverly Hills is astronomical. The only commonality is the word Ilze. Right. But I didn't know where I would usually drive more. I had the advantage holes of all the people I grew up with living there and coming to me. But I loved the allure of Beverly Hills. So I worked as an associate in two different dental offices. So it didn't cost me anything. I was a hired gun. I would go in and work and bring in patients. And I soon realized that I loved cosmetic dentistry. I love the mentality of people in a business area like centricity and, you know, and not so much kind of like family dentistry. And so I pretty much closed down the office and Granada Hills worked in in Century City. And the plan was I was working with an older fellow to buy him out. Well, as soon as we started getting closer and closer to the buyout date, I think my enthusiasm became infectious. And he decided he didn't want to quit anymore.   Joe: Oh.   Dr. Bill: And he was very sweet. And he said, you know, Bill, he said, you can do this by yourself. He said, you don't need to buy my practice. I'm going to stay here, open up your own practice. You have enough pay. I had more patients than he did   Joe: Oh,   Dr. Bill: After   Joe: Wow.   Dr. Bill: Just two years. And so I did. It was really fortuitous that the dentist right next door to us moved out of the building. And so there was a completely furnished dental suite. I didn't have to do any build out at all. All of the plumbing, the gas, the soft, everything was there. So I was really lucky. I moved into that suite is on the 11th floor, my building, and the only thing I needed was all the dental equipment, the chairs and the   Joe: Mm   Dr. Bill: Lights   Joe: Hmm.   Dr. Bill: And this and then another stroke of luck. There was a dentist in our building who was four or five flights above me who passed away. And there was a fully furnished dental office up there of all this equipment. And the building didn't know what to do with it. And it was a mess. It was a mess. So I went up there and and I had it evaluated and assessed. I was going to try and take out a loan or something. And the appraisal came in at close to seventy five thousand dollars for all that. I had three thousand dollars in the bank at the time. I mean, that's it. And so I, I went and I spoke to the owner of our building and I said, listen, I've been up on in that suite and it's it's a mess. I mean, and it was it was really disgusting and dirty. And I said, I will empty the suite. I will take all of the equipment, I will clean everything up and get it ready for you to read. And I'll give you three thousand dollars cash. And he said, fine.   Joe: Wow, that's   Dr. Bill: And   Joe: Chris.   Dr. Bill: I still I still have a lot of those instruments, and I this is 40 years I've been practicing. I have all the surgical like four extractions and I have all that stuff still in my office with that doctor's name engraved in it. But that was how I really opened up my office. I had no budget. I had no ad budget. Like, I couldn't advertise, but I realized something. And as an entrepreneur, I would say you need to sit back, look at your situation and really think outside the box. And this is what I did. I thought, OK, I'm in Century City. There is a five block radius of buildings around my office with 20000 thousand people coming to work every day. Right.   Joe: Hmm.   Dr. Bill: We know on average that 50 percent of those people don't have a regular dentist. OK, so that's you know, what was I'm sorry. It was fifty thousand people in that area. So that's twenty five thousand people don't have a regular dentist that work for me. Of those, twenty five thousand eighty percent of them work in companies with dental insurance so they don't even have to pay anything. They just need to come in and because I'm so close, they can walk over, they wouldn't have to drive. So what I did is I hired five kids from Beverly Hills High School, which is right next door to my dental office. And I made up these flyers for I think I paid three hundred bucks and I had them put a flyer in every single office in Century City. Now, this was way before 9/11, so there was no restrictions   Joe: Right.   Dr. Bill: You could go. And so basically by doing that, the flyer gave people a great first time offering to my office. If they had dental insurance, it was free. And I got something like 80 patients the very first month. And if we continue to do that and so we were basically getting patients in two ways, internal and external. Internal was taking the patients that came in, giving them the greatest dental experience we could and asking them to refer friends and then externally going out and putting out more and more and more flyers and bringing in patients. The next month I got something like one hundred new patients. And honestly, since then I have probably had no less than 90 new patients a month my entire career. And there were I mean, and the average dentist gets like 20. But I have never not been busy even during the pandemic. We've been busy. I'm busier now than I've been in years because I always say I invented Zoom when people think I the video conference, what it was. But people are sitting on Zoom looking at their smile,   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: Going, I'm not really happy with that. I'm doing more cosmetic dentistry right now than I've ever done in my life. It's it's a   Joe: That's   Dr. Bill: Boom.   Joe: Crazy. And when you said when you started your practice you were going to concentrate on cosmetic surgery, so were all of these new patients coming in just for cosmetic stuff, not for cleanings, or were you doing   Dr. Bill: Well,   Joe: That also?   Dr. Bill: First of all, it wasn't cosmetic surgery, it was cosmetic dentistry,   Joe: Ok.   Dr. Bill: But as a cosmetic dentist, yeah, we do regular dentistry too and do   Joe: At.   Dr. Bill: Fillings and crowns and cleanings and everything else that you need to do to maintain your oral care. But the focus of my of my practice, the thing that really differentiates me from most dentists is the fact that I do, you know, cosmetic dentistry. And I have a very high profile clientele for that.   Joe: Yep, so that's my next question, you get right into it perfectly. How did you get   Dr. Bill: Ok.   Joe: Like with any entrepreneur? Obviously, if you provide a really great service, you're going to get talked about right. And automatically you're going to get known. And like for my business, I have an entertainment booking agency here in Scottsdale and Phoenix. Somebody writes to me, calls me. They have an answer. Within an hour or so, I'm known for my response time. And then the product I deliver is a very high product with you. How did you get that first step into a clientele that you now have?   Dr. Bill: So there's a few things. First of all, you said something, you said you automatically get no wrong. You don't automatically   Joe: No,   Dr. Bill: Get   Joe: You   Dr. Bill: No.   Joe: Do it yourself, you write.   Dr. Bill: You know, it takes work,   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: You know, I was really fortunate early on in my career, there's a woman that I went to high school with as very close. But if you came in and needed a lot of dental work and said, hey, do you want to barter what I got, even though the barter was   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: I was so naive when it came to business. And then I said, well, what do you do? She goes, I'm a publicist. I'm like, I don't need one of those. She goes, Yeah, you do. I'm like, I don't even know what one was. So I don't leap of faith. I thought, OK, fine, we'll barter and we'll do it. She was genius. I mean, she got me in magazines, journals. She got me listed as the best dentist in L.A. in L.A. magazine, which was huge that, you know, she she was friends with the editor. She got the whole editorial staff to come in and be my patient. They loved their experience. And so they ranted and raved about my practice. And those things started building up my practice. And, you know, I can get more into the whole PR thing, but that was really a big mindshift for me. I never thought as a dentist I would have like a publicist. I mean, and the crazy thing is today I'm probably the best known dentist in the world. Go figure.   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: Right. But a lot of things happen. And, you know, I always tell kids when they come to leak, if there's only two concepts that you walk away from from this whole program, these are the two that I think are most important. Number one, don't wait for opportunities in life. Make them, you know, I mean, if I meet another millennial who's sitting there waiting for the universe to do something, I want to scream and pull my hair out. Like the universe doesn't care about you at all. You need to care about you. And number two, when you get an opportunity in life, don't take it. M. it. There's a big difference   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: When ABC put me on Extreme Makeover dentistry, great TV, not so good. You know, if I watch the first two episodes of that show, I literally stunk like they should have fired me. But at least I was smart enough to know how bad I was. So instead of waiting to get fired, I was proactive. I took acting classes, hosting classes, teleprompter in class. I hired the woman who worked with all the kids on American Idol to sit down with me and teach me how to do what we're doing right now. To interview, to talk. I mean, this was not natural for me. It wasn't at all. But, you know, if you practice and you practice and you practice, you get better at things. And there's a big misconception. We always think practice makes what?   Joe: Perfect.   Dr. Bill: Ron.   Joe: Right.   Dr. Bill: Practice makes permanent.   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: So with your practicing in, you're not getting the results you want, don't keep doing that, get a mentor, get a coach, hire somebody and learn how to do it right, because you need to practice it the right way. Right. To make it perfect. And   Joe: So.   Dr. Bill: So there was a lot of learning for me. But, you know, at the end of the day, it paid off.   Joe: Then would your grandmother say you look thin? Is that what she said? She looks.   Dr. Bill: The first time I was on TV, I said, Grandpa, this is a woman who never said anything bad to anybody. I said, Gramps, did you see me on TV? She goes, Of course I did. I said, What do you think? She says? You look very   Joe: If   Dr. Bill: Skinny.   Joe: It's.   Dr. Bill: I'm like, But what do you think about what I did? She goes, I'm telling you, you were skinny.   Joe: I want to talk a lot about Lee, because even though you said, like, the universe doesn't care, I I also believe and I'm a big Dave Meltzer fan and he's sort of my mentor at this point that we get in our own way. And so there is abundance out there. And if we get out of the way and we just know what we want and we ask for it and we act accordingly, things come. So this connection with you means a lot to me because of Lee. Before we get to that, do you want to talk a little bit about your own podcast? Just because the lead part of it for me is huge and I really want to concentrate on that until our time runs out, so.   Dr. Bill: Well, I mean, the know the way that my podcast ties in the league is, Leape is a motivational leadership program for high school and college students that we do every summer. And it's always been at UCLA Live. Obviously, last year it was virtual. This year, I think we'll have probably one hundred students live and maybe ten thousand virtual.   Joe: Oh,   Dr. Bill: But   Joe: My gosh.   Dr. Bill: It's been amazing. And if any of your listeners have kids or no kids, fifteen to twenty five will be July 18th to the twenty fourth. They could get more information at w w w dot leap foundation dot com. We've had amazing speakers Paula Abdul, Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Kathy Bates, Michael Strahan, Usher, Apollo Ohno, Jason Alexander. I mean, I could go on and on and on. And these people come, they speak to these kids and they they give them their pearls. They give them their words of wisdom to help these kids become successful. And it's it's an amazing program. And, you know, I was always fearful that people would look at is like one and done like we have them for a week. But by putting out content continuously, we're able to stay in touch with the kids and we have the students stay in touch with each other. And so because I've been able to interview all these amazing people, I started this podcast. It's called Meet the Mentor. And every week I. I interview another person. A big part of Leape is mentorship. The program culminates on Friday with a mentor workshop where I bring in doctors and lawyers and firefighters and writers and actors and actresses, you name it, and the kids get an opportunity to sit and talk to these people one on one and ask them about their careers. And it's so valuable. And it's it's literally the highlight of the week for these students. So I continue that throughout the year by doing this. Meet the Mentor podcast. How is it done? Crazy. I mean, we're number one in Yemen. We're number two in Iceland, number three in Finland. And I think I'm ninety fourth in the category of forty seven thousand of these podcast in the US. And it's it's it's been phenomenal. And the purpose is twofold. One, to keep students engaged and keep, you know, exposing them to different mentors and to to expose parents and friends and family to lead. And hopefully they'll send their kids to the program.   Joe: So how did this come about? What was the light bulb that went off for you to say? This really speaks to me. I mean, I can imagine you are with all the things that you've done, your super busy, and then then all of a sudden have this light bulb go off and say, this is how this is. I want to give back and this is how I want to do it.   Dr. Bill: You know, I've always been very philanthropic and it's funny because I had this common theme in my life where every time I've committed to do something purely for philanthropy, it's ended up becoming incredibly successful for me on a monetary basis with literally no hidden agenda. And I can give you an example after example after example. The first one being discussed, you know, I was working at at the sports club L.A., which is now an equinox. And a woman came up to me named Cynthia Hearn, who I didn't know and said, would you like to help raise money for children's cancer research? Well, I wasn't wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but how can you say no to that? Right.   Joe: Absolutely.   Dr. Bill: So I said, sure. You know, she said, you are a dentist. I said, yes. And she goes, and you're single, right? I'm like, Yeah, but this is weird. She goes, Well, we're doing a bachelor auction and   Joe: Oh,   Dr. Bill: We need 10 bachelors that we can auction off to a thousand women for this charity,   Joe: Oh.   Dr. Bill: To be honest with you. That was stupid and humiliating. But out of that, I met Robert Hamit Robert Heyman with the other bats are standing in line beside me. By the way, Robert was over last night. We had dinner. We became instant. Best friends were brothers.   Joe: A   Dr. Bill: And   Joe: Simple.   Dr. Bill: Robert and I started discus dental and we literally brewed that company zero to one point three billion dollars. And along the way we've raised over forty five million dollars for children's charities. I mean, a lot of really cool things. But I was exposed to lead through another program that was very much like it was a precursor to lead. And that program was a program for students where they brought mentors in and they asked me to come as a mentor. And unfortunately, the founder of that program passed away. And when you did, I thought, you know, I can make this a nonprofit and keep it going so that that's how I actually got introduced to Lee.   Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. So when did this start? By the way?   Dr. Bill: So LEEP has been going this summer would have been our 13th, so the fourth theme fleet will come up this summer, but I've been doing the program prior to leave for probably 10 to 15 years before I started.   Joe: That's incredible. And when they go out to you said it's on the UCLA campus and where are they staying in dorms, if they.   Dr. Bill: Right, so students come from all over the world. We get kids from Australia, from New Zealand, from Europe and Asia and Africa, you name it, it's like a mini UN. It's really fun. And we get about five hundred kids. They all live in the dorms and we put on, you know, I think the best program of its type in the world. And a lot of the success of the program is the community. I mean, I get amazing speakers and they don't charge us. I mean, you couldn't afford to pay, you know, Anthony Hopkins, Mark Wahlberg. I think we'll get Katy Perry this year. I mean, I we couldn't pay, but when I when I talk to him about the program and they see how much passion we put into this, they say, I'll do it, doc, I'll do it. And now with Zoom, it makes everything so much easier because they don't even have to show up prior to the pandemic. If I had told kids. Oh yeah. Mark Wahlberg told Zoom in maybe like and   Joe: Yeah.   Dr. Bill: Now it's like it doesn't it's like live or Zoom. They're happy to see him.   Joe: That's incredible. It's just really the reason this speaks to me is because I feel like in the world that we're in and I'm I just turned fifty nine in February. So next year is a big year for me. And I think about all the time and I don't want to say it was wasted or regret or anything, but I think about that we end up trying to repair ourselves as adults on things that might not have happened. You had your life a little different. You knew exactly what you wanted to do. You followed your path that you're wired differently, your DNA, and you were able to just literally do all of these things. And I'm sure you've had your struggles. So I'm not I'm not painting this picture of, you know, none of that. But it would be so nice to get to these young minds early and explain that the world literally is your oyster. And you need to follow your. And sometimes I don't know. Right. So you say follow your heart. Sometimes they're confused about it. But I love the fact that you're getting to these young minds earlier and you're helping them to understand things sooner. And that's why this program speaks to me so much. I think it's incredible.   Dr. Bill: Well, I'll tell you what I have found empirically to be one of the most important factors in all of this. When I sit back and I say, you know, what am I most thankful for, you know, from my parents now, they never bought me a car. They never gave me money. But you know what? They did give me confidence. And confidence is currency, if you are a parent, the greatest, greatest gift that you can give your kids is confidence. And the very first thing we do, at least when a kid walks in that door and I open the program, I say to them, hey, when you woke up this morning, whether you think you did this or not, you put a number on your forehead once the lowest 10, Zayat said. How many of you did not put a 10 on your head? They raised their hand. I said, Who picked the number? You did have to take a test. No, did have to do anything. No, I said wipe it off and put a 10 on that. I said, from now on, I want you to walk like a ten top like a 10, act like a ten. But most importantly, surround yourself with other kids who are tense because you're trying to be a 10 and everybody around you use it to guess what, you become a two. So we give the kids these pop soccer   Joe: It's also.   Dr. Bill: Support on their phone ten. And you might hear something super crazy. Joe, we sold discus dental on ten, ten,   Joe: Oh,   Dr. Bill: Ten   Joe: Well.   Dr. Bill: At 10 a.m. to Philipps.   Joe: That's crazy.   Dr. Bill: I think about October 10th, 2010, at nine a.m., the merger documents came on like this is you can't write this stuff. I'm waiting till exactly ten o'clock so that when I go to sleep in 2011, I could tell the kids what a perfect ten day looks like. And we I signed that paper and, you know. It was an emotional moment for me. I always knew as against. I'd be comfortable, I had no idea. That I had the ability. To make the kind of money I made when we sold my company, that was like funny money to me, I didn't even think something like that could happen. I didn't grow up that way, you know? And, you know, and I thank my lucky stars every day for for meeting Robert Haymond, for participating in that charity auction, for, I mean, all the things that led up to that. Because I wouldn't I mean, you should see where I'm sitting right now. I'm I'm on the 30th floor of this beautiful condominium in in Century City. I wake up every morning the happiest guy I know. And so, so grateful for everything. It's it's really it's really been amazing.   Joe: Well, you know what? Good for you. Well deserved. I can just tell by I do a little bit of research up front for these. I want them to be somewhat spontaneous. But I when I went and looked at what I felt, I wanted to figure out more about who you are. I can tell I can tell from just how you look at the kids that are part of the program. I watched one of your talks to them, and I can tell it really it's super important to you and and your generous and loving and giving back. And it just it's very, very cool. And I appreciate you.   Dr. Bill: Well, I think my my my mantra is. Learn so you can earn and then return. And I feel if you can really accomplish those three things, you'll have a lot of happiness and and self satisfaction in life. So that's really what I focus on.   Joe: I agree. Well, I literally could talk with you forever. This is amazing. I'm honored that you came on my podcast. What is the best way for someone to get my guests in touch with you in regards to what do you prefer? And also, the lead program has   Dr. Bill: Yeah,   Joe: The best.   Dr. Bill: I mean, believe it or not, I'm the only person I know with probably a million followers who actually answered all of their demands. So Instagram, I don't do tick tock or even Facebook, but if you really want to reach me, it's super easy. It's Dr. Bill Dorfman, D.R Bilel Dorfmann on Instagram. I promise. I answer one hundred percent of my DBMS. If if you're interested in the program, please go to Sleep Foundation dot com. You can sign your kids up right now. And yeah, I think that's.   Joe: Well, thank you so much, I appreciate it. I look forward to to seeing more about what happens with LEEP, and I definitely want to stay in contact with you.

In the previous podcast episode, I spoke about knowing your WHY to stay motivated on your journey to better sleep. Now since you are looking into improving your sleep, knowing what is keeping you up at night and what is the root cause of your sleep issue or insomnia will help you address the issue at the core. If you can't put your finger on what is keeping you up at night, I recommend analyzing your sleep as well as daily behavior in a sleep dairy. Here is the link to the sleep dairy posted by the Sleep Foundation:https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/SleepDiaryv6.pdfFor more information on the No More Sleepless podcast, check out www.nomoresleepless.com. I'd love it if you connect with me on Instagram at anna_nomoresleepless.
