Eps 224 - Manifestation and Mental Energy What does it cost us when we avoid doing what needs to be done? It is not that we are unaware of what needs to be done; we are quite conscious of what really needs to be done, then how come that we often don't do it anyhow? If it comes to doing things that are uncomfortable, difficult or challenging then it is actually quite natural that we try to avoid doing these. The point is how far are we willing to go to avoid doing what needs to be done?Often these are things that are confrontational, eg. confronting our lack of stamina when we need to exercises, confronting our partner when we want to express our true feelings or even confronting ourselves to deal with things from the past.

She's on the show today to talk about her book, HYPE: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims and Bad Advice – How to Tell What's Real and What's Not We often hear pseudoscientific claims from our patients and even our colleagues, so we start with the incident that motivated her to write the book, Hype, that she has fallen for - a recent diet fad that she thinks actually lives up to the hype. We also talk about how she navigates conversations with patients when they bring up pseudoscience. She can be found on Twitter and Instagram @drninashapiro and on her website, also DrNinaShapiro.com.

In a world full of outside influences, it is sometimes hard to know who we are or what makes us, us. Maybe others can tell us a lot about our motivations and what our core values are by the date that we were born or perhaps by looking in a crystal ball ... In my beliefs The Enneagram (Typology System) helps us in a way more accurate way to explain who we truly are. In this episode of TELL - What is The Enneagram and why should we care?

We talk with Dr. Nina Shapiro about the importance of effective communication of medical information to patients, and helping them avoid bad medical advice. She is author of the book "Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims, and Bad Advice - How to Tell What's Real and What's Not". --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Edward Jones https://www.backtable.com/401k --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/5yOsLX --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, pediatric otolaryngologist and author Dr. Nina Shapiro joins Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Ashley Agan to discuss writing for non-medical audiences, addressing health misinformation, and overcoming our own physician biases. Dr. Shapiro discusses her journey towards authorship. As her children entered school, she had begun communicating information about common ENT issues to other parents. This passion evolved into writing op-eds, blog articles, and eventually, books. Her audiences are both medical and non-medical, and she discusses the differences in writing for each type. We talk about concepts from her newest book, “Hype,” which aims to address popular health concerns, de-bunk media myths, and encourage readers to be intelligent consumers of health information and products. We dive into “The Curse of the Original Belief,” the idea that we are biased towards seeking out new information that confirms what we already believe. Dr. Shapiro offers guidance for physicians when they converse with patients who have been misinformed by Internet sources. Her overall strategy is to listen to patients' fears, be patient, and follow up with them. Finally, she encourages all practitioners to keep an open mind and stay flexible, as new research can change long-standing beliefs and recommendations. --- RESOURCES Dr. Shapiro's website and books- http://drninashapiro.com/ Dr. Shapiro's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook: @DrNinaShaprio

Are you sick of false information circulating in the news and social media about important health care topics from COVID 19 to vaccines to what we should eat to what undies we should wear?

Today in the ladies’ room, Dr. Donnica and Dr. Shaprio go through some of the big hype that we hear about medical issues and figure out what is true and what isn’t. There are so many products and trends about our health, but it’s important to remember to get the medical information as opposed to the hype about medical treatments. She also talks about the importance of risk. Every day there is a certain amount of risk we face, but how do we factor in risk when it comes to medical procedures? And they talk about the celebrities who try to sell dangerous, overpriced products to women.

What Deliberate Power Outages in California Have to Do With Wildfire RiskGuest: Bruce Cain, PhD, Professor of Political Science, Senior Fellow, Stanford Woods Institute for the EnvironmentThere's a high risk of wildfire in Northern California right now because of strong winds and dry conditions. So PG&E –California's largest utility –has deliberately cut power to as many has 800,000 customers over the last two days, spanning 21 counties including parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. Equipment owned and maintained by PG&E has sparked many of California's major wildfires recently, including the state's deadliest and destructive blaze –the Camp Fire which destroyed the town of Paradise last year and killed 86 people. How to Fight Dirty MoneyGuest: Channing Mavrellis, Director of Global Financial Integrity's Transnational Crime ProgramAround the world, there are countries-sometimes called “developing” or “emerging” -that receive millions of dollars in foreign aid and investment every year. The hope is that at some point the country will grow to the point that it no longer needs foreign aid to sustain a thriving economy. But many countries seem stalled. Why isn't that money making a difference? Because all this time, even more money has been flowing out of those same countries through crime, corruption and tax evasion. Argentina's Ambassador to the U.S. Guest: His Excellency Fernando Oris de Roa, Ambassador of Argentina to the United StatesRelations between the US and Argentina have grown stronger in the four years since Argentina's current president Mauricio Macri was elected. But President Macri lost the first round of his re-election effort and a significant chance he and his more centrist political party will be out come the general election on Oct. 27. Making and Breaking the Periodic TableGuest: Kit Chapman, Science Journalist, Author of “Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table”The periodic table hanging on the wall in every science classroom turns 150 this year. The elements on it –from hydrogen to helium –are the building blocks of everything on Earth. But not all 118 of them are found in nature. Twenty-six elements on the periodic table today are entirely man-made –and some of those have never actually been seen by scientists. So how do we know they exist? And what's the point of making them if we can't do anything with them? The stories of these mysterious elements at the far reaches of the periodic table are the focus of journalist Kit Chapman's new book called Superheavy. Listener Questions about Cold and Flu RemediesGuest: Nina Shapiro, Doctor and Author of “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims, and Bad Advice –How to Tell What's Real and What's Not.”

Dr. Nina Shapiro is one of America's leading physicians. With more than two decades of experience in clinical and academic medicine, she's a trusted expert whom her patients and the media rely on routinely to set the record straight about the latest health fads and misconceptions. In today's episode, I discuss her newest venture, her myth-busting and evidence-driven book: “Hype: A Doctor's Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims, and Bad Advice - How to Tell What's Real and What's Not.” In this episode, you will learn: How she came up with the idea to write a book and why she felt it was important. Her process of writing the book and how she made time for writing. How she did her research to dispel medical myths. How she has dealt with people that disagree with her message. Nina's tips for getting on television or radio as a physician and what it's really like to be on TV. Her advice on how to address patients' questions regarding alternative medical treatments How to go about writing a book and how to know if the idea is good “book material” Dr. Shapiro is the Director of Pediatric Otolaryngology and a Professor of Head and Neck Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Quotes from Nina Shapiro, MD: “We really need to break out of that dogma and engage in some conversation.” “Writing the book is the easy part, getting people to read it is the hard part.” “I'll be honest, patients do sometimes get on my nerves, with their questions starting with, “Do you believe in…?” I wish to interrupt with, “The Easter Bunny, ghosts, The Tooth Fairy?” All these are indeed beliefs, but medicine is not a belief, and I practice based on evidence.” “What I did know was my conviction of what I needed to say and what information I felt like needed to be said.” Special thanks to this week's sponsors: The White Coat Investor's new course Fire Your Financial Advisor! and PearsonRavitz for all of your physician disability and life insurance needs.
