In the season five finale of the Bendy Bodies Podcast, Dr. Linda Bluestein reflects on powerful listener feedback and opens up important conversations about language, intent, and identity in medicine. She clarifies the purpose behind episodes on pain neuroscience and mast cells in autism, acknowledges the concerns raised, and discusses the fine line between supporting physiology and honoring identity. She also addresses concerns raised about the neuroplasticity episode, reaffirming that the intent was never to minimize anyone's pain or suggest a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. Instead, the goal was to share information that some may find empowering while honoring the reality and validity of every person's experience. Dr. Bluestein also revisits the ongoing “Road to 2026” diagnostic criteria update for hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), highlighting why labels matter for some patients and not for others. This wrap-up episode closes the season with transparency, humility, and a call for continued dialogue in the community. Takeaways Why pain is always real—even when labeled “non-structural” How mast cell research intersects with autism without erasing identity Why a hEDS diagnosis matters for some patients—but not for all What the upcoming 2026 hEDS criteria changes could mean for the community How listener feedback shapes the future of Bendy BodiesWant more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

With a passion for helping people understand the "why" behind their symptoms, Dr. Louw breaks down the science of how the brain processes pain, why knowledge can reduce fear, and how changing your understanding can actually decrease your pain experience. Through engaging stories and evidence-backed insight, he shares how rewiring the nervous system starts not with a pill, but with a conversation.

I spent this week untangling one of the wildest New York Times stories in recent memory about organ donation. The article set off a firestorm online, and the clickbait headlines had everyone ready to rip “organ donor” off their driver's license. But is it really that bad? I break down what's true, what's exaggerated, and what it means for a system that saves thousands of lives every year. Then I get fired up about neonatal conjunctivitis and the nonsense being spread by wellness influencers who think erythromycin ointment is more dangerous than gonorrhea (spoiler: it's not). Throw in some eye speculum nightmares, an unexpected syphilis diagnosis, and a listener Q&A that went completely off the rails, and you've got one wild ride through eyeballs, ethics, and misinformation. Takeaways: Why that viral organ donation article might not be as scary, or as wrong, as it first looked. The eyebrow-raising system that pits organ procurement groups against each other. How one strip of erythromycin can save a baby's vision (and why influencers are getting it wrong). The surprising risk of squeezing too hard during cataract surgery. How an ophthalmologist once diagnosed syphilis just by looking into someone's eyes. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode of Good Enough Counsellors, we're diving into the third “C” of social media success for therapists: Community.It's tempting to think of social media as just another marketing tool, but for many people, it's a lifeline - a place to feel seen, connected, and understood. And as therapists, we have a unique opportunity to create that safe space online.Takeaways:Why community is one of the most powerful ways to attract therapy clientsHow giving (not numbers) is the heart of community-buildingThe mindset shift that helps you get past the “cringe factor” of sharing your workWhy showing your real, imperfect self builds trust and connectionHow engaging with others (even in small ways) helps grow your reachThe importance of not broadcasting, but building relationships onlinePost ideas for September 2025September Awareness Days:World Suicide Prevention Day – Wednesday, 10th September 2025National Inclusion Week – Monday, 15th to Sunday, 21st September 2025Buy a Book Day – Sunday, 7th September 2025Live Creative Day & Colouring Day – Sunday, 14th September 2025World Gratitude Day – Sunday, 21st September 2025Fight Procrastination Day – Saturday, 6th September 2025Setting up in private practice?

Big changes are brewing. U.S. health officials are expected to overhaul long-standing alcohol guidelines and the new science (and common sense person) says even one drink a day might be too much. In this episode, we unpack what these changes mean for you, the $250B alcohol industry, and why it's time to ditch the “moderate drinking is healthy” myth once and for all.We dig into the latest research, what's really happening behind closed doors in Washington (and the boardrooms of Big Alcohol), and how this shift impacts men, fathers, leaders, and anyone trying to level up without the drag of booze.You'll also get a few solid takeaways to help you think clearly, lead better, and start showing up as your best self—without the crutch of “just one drink.”
It's just me this week, and I'm cracking open the homeopathy bottle (spoiler: it's mostly water). From viral pseudoscience to dry eye remedies that make me blink twice, I'm taking a solo stroll through the wild world of medical misinformation. We'll also talk about the dangers of diluted science, why TikTok is not a medical degree, and the real risks behind popular “natural” treatments. No guests, no filter—just a Snape impression and some good old-fashioned eye-rolling. Takeaways: Why your favorite “natural” remedy might just be fancy water. How misinformation gets dressed up in a lab coat and calls itself medicine. The connection between dry eyes and the internet's favorite non-treatments. What I learned from a box of homeopathic eye drops. The Snape quote that might be more honest than some real-world “doctors.” — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What if imposter syndrome isn't proof you're a fraud… but confirmation you're stepping into your calling? In this episode, I sit down with Gina Birkemeier—licensed counselor, international speaker, and award-winning author of Generations Deep—to talk about how the fear of being “found out” is often the very place God begins to form something new in us. We explore how imposter syndrome can be a signal of spiritual growth, not failure—and why being the “transitional character” in your story starts with owning your identity in Christ, not your qualifications on paper.

It's a wild week in healthcare policy and student debt. The so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" just passed, and I have thoughts. Spoiler: most of them involve eye twitching. From massive Medicaid cuts to a hard cap on federal loans for grad students, I'm unpacking what this means for future doctors, patients, and anyone who likes affordable healthcare (so… everyone?). I also take you through a retinal rollercoaster from my clinic and, yes, I share my own six-figure loan horror story—because nothing says fun like debt-induced nostalgia. Takeaways: Why a $200K loan cap might not actually help medical students. How tuition inflation is steamrolling over future physicians. The link between wealth and med school admission nobody wants to admit. What I saw in clinic that looked like a “blood and thunder” disaster.

Episode Summary: Running a law firm shouldn't mean sacrificing your time, your profit, or your peace of mind. In this solo episode, I break down the Law Firm Freedom Audit—a proven diagnostic tool designed to help law firm owners identify exactly where their practice is leaking time, profit, or control. Whether you're deep in the trenches or already on your growth path, this episode will help you uncover hidden inefficiencies and give you a clear roadmap toward building a scalable, sustainable firm. Key Segment: Understanding My Freedom & Profit Score When I took the Law Firm Freedom Audit, I realised the number I got wasn't just a score—it was a mirror. It reflected how sustainable, profitable, and scalable my law firm really was. Here's what I learned about what each score range means: 110–140: The Scalable Zone I've built something solid. The systems are working, the team is in sync, and best of all—my business doesn't depend solely on me anymore. There's freedom here, and it feels good. Next move: Now's the time to scale with intention. The foundation is set—it's time to go bigger, smarter. 85–109: A Solid Start, But Still a Bit Scrappy Things are moving in the right direction, but I can feel where the cracks are. A bit of stress creeps in, and profits don't quite match the effort I'm putting in. It's frustrating, but fixable. Next move: I need to step back, identify what's slowing me down—whether it's clunky systems, role confusion, or missed opportunities—and start tightening things up. 60–84: I'm the Operator, and It's Wearing Me Down Let's be honest—if I take a break, everything pauses. I'm juggling too much, and it's exhausting. The business works, but only because I'm pushing hard behind the scenes. Next move: This is my sign to stop doing it all myself. I need to delegate, build systems, and make the shift from being the operator to becoming the owner. Below 60: This Is My Wake-Up Call If I'm here, I already know things aren't working. I'm doing everything and burning out fast. Profits are thin, and there's no structure holding things together. Growth? It feels out of reach right now. Next move: I need to pause. Reassess. And rebuild—with purpose. This isn't failure—it's a signal that something needs to change, for me and for the future of my firm. Takeaways: Why staying in “operator mode” is holding your firm back from real growth How to score your firm's performance across 5 critical areas: Leadership & Time Management Systems & Processes Team & Delegation Financial Control & Profit Personal Wellbeing & Lifestyle What your Freedom & Profit Score means—and what to do next The link between system gaps and burnout (and how to fix both) How to take action immediately to shift from survival to strategy Resources & Links Mentioned: Download the FREE Law Firm Freedom Audit – Takes 10 minutes and reveals your biggest growth opportunities.

Welcome to Uncharted Conversations, a new Navigating Major Programmes series designed to disrupt industry thinking one unscripted conversation at a time. In each episode, the panelists bring their diverse perspectives to the table as self-dubbed industry pirates, adopting a mercenary approach to calling out industry challenges. Up first: collaborative contracts. David Ho is the National Leader of Healthcare and Buildings for Accenture. Melissa Di Marco is a Partner and specialist in Project Advisory and Disputes at Accuracy. Shormila Chatterjee is the Vice President of EY. Together, these experienced programme professionals discuss the complexities of collaborative contracting in the infrastructure sector, including often-seen core competency shortcomings and the importance of empowering the right decision makers.Too often, collaboration is misconstrued as the project goal when it is, in fact, merely one possible vehicle. This conversation delves into market participation, trust issues and risk allocation, and why technical skill shouldn't top the recruitment checklist. Decision-making, competency, and governance are painstakingly dissected in this no-holds-barred discussion that highlights the problems not with collaborative contracts themselves but with the assumption that choosing this model will fix all the problems. Join these leaders as they explore why the infrastructure industry might be ready for a seismic systemic shift.Takeaways:Why every organization's first question should be whether they have the skills to manage a collaborative contract.The dangers of assuming a collaborative contract will automatically be easier and mitigate risk.The need for a strong collection of capable people around the table for any programme model to succeed.How systems and governance can be structured with empowerment in mind.The soft skills that are essential, and more important than technical experience, for true collaboration.Quote: “The idea will be to enter into a process with a winning counterparty. We can call them whatever we want, development partner, whatever it might be. But that period of dialogue and iteration, if it is prescribed by an even more detailed rulebook, in my mind, it doesn't matter if the end of that rulebook still doesn't have a fixed price. All you're doing is layering on a set of rules that is now a wholly dependent upon the behavioural interpretations of the people playing the game. And if the behavioural interpretation is, I'm going to use the rules to my advantage to exploit your bad writing of the rules, or I'm going to use the rules to my advantage to compel you to obey no matter what. Then forget it. It's not collaborative. It is just a more involved rule book for less certainty of outcome.” - David HoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major ProgrammesFollow Riccardo CosentinoRead Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.comFollow David HoFollow Melissa Di MarcoFollow Shormilla Chatterjee Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor kicks off the brand new “Sovereign Sessions” series with a powerful conversation featuring client and former farmer, Dawn's Dirt. This isn't just another freedom chat—Dawn built a multi-million-dollar farming empire, sold it all, and walked straight into a new mission: helping people grow their own food and reclaim their sovereignty. Dawn is a bold, unapologetic entrepreneur who knows how to hustle—she ran a 36,000 sq ft greenhouse, managed 299 chickens, and sold her goods at multiple farmers markets. But after realizing the farming model wasn't as free as it looked, she transitioned to building an online coaching business with Kaylor's team. They dive into grief, growth, and grit—and the truth about what it really takes to be ungovernable in today's world. Dawn's story will leave you fired up and questioning everything you thought you knew about entrepreneurship. Episode Highlights: sovereignty, farming, entrepreneurship, online coaching, food freedom, business transformation, client success story, ungovernable mindset, rural living, self-reliance, reinvention, purpose-driven business Takeaways: Why sovereignty isn't just about land—it's about income How Dawn turned grief into fuel for a new business The real margins behind traditional farming Why coaching businesses are the new freedom model Trusting the process (and the “boat” God sends you) How to start from scratch without tech skills Building a mission-led business in 2025 If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

This episode is a raw reflection on anxiety, visibility, and what we lose when we chase success without slowing down. Recorded in the car on a rainy Sunday morning, Please forgive me, the quality is not that good. I talk about the quiet anxiety I've carried since childhood.... the kind that shows up before Monday hits, when you're grinding hard but still feel invisible. I share stories I've never said out loud, about fear, burnout, and the moment I looked through the glass door of my office and realized… I missed my wife. Takeaways: Why anxiety often shows up when we're finally alone with our thoughts .... especially on SundaysHow early fears of being seen shaped my silence (and how that silence cost me connection)What high-achievers miss when they stay too focused on the goalA reminder that you can be visible in the world and still disconnected at home and how to change thatWhy being heard isn't just about speaking louder, but learning to feel safe enough to be seen If you've been feeling stretched, unseen, or like you're building something at the cost of your own peace , this one's for you.

The problem with being human is that we believe our version of truth is the truth. Not because we're bad—but because we're wired that way. This episode is a story of blindness. Not the kind you see—but the kind you don't even know you have. You're not as open-minded as you think. That's not an insult—it's just how the brain works. We shortcut. We judge. We protect our ego like it's a vintage vinyl. In this episode, I dive into the strange ways our own minds trick us into thinking we're rational, original, and morally superior. I walk through how prejudice isn't just about race—it's about music, anger, taste, careers, and even your opinion of running. You'll hear about blind spots in your day-to-day that quietly shape your reality, and how to start noticing them before they run the show. Takeaways: Why your opinions probably aren't your own Why improving your taste is more important than finding your passion A simple trick to challenge your ego without bruising it You can't change the world if you can't first question the lens you're using to see it. This episode won't change your mind—you will.
