I'm Lyssa Rome. I'm a speech language pathologist on staff at the Aphasia Center of California, and I see clients with aphasia and other neurogenic communication impairments in my LPAA-focused private practice. I'm also a member of the Aphasia Access Podcast Working Group. Aphasia Access strives to provide members with information, inspiration and ideas that support their aphasia care through a variety of educational materials and resources.   June is Aphasia Awareness Month, and I'm excited to be today's host for an episode that will feature the National Aphasia Association's Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group. I'll be talking first with Michael Obel-Omia, a co-founder and co-host of the group. Michael is a public speaker, writer, and educator who has aphasia due to a stroke in 2016. In his tireless efforts to improve he has found poetry allows him to express himself in ways that speech cannot. An avid advocate for people with aphasia, Michael has published essays about experiences in the journal Blood and Thunder: Musings on The Art of Medicine, the Boston Globe, the Providence Journal, and Rhode Island NPR's This I Believe. Michael lives with his family in the beautiful town of Barrington, Rhode Island. Michael, welcome to Aphasia Access Conversations Podcast, I'm really glad to be talking with you today.   Michael Obel-Omia    Thank you so much. I'm blessed to be on this opportunity. Thank you so much.   Lyssa Rome  I wanted to start by asking you why you wanted to start an aphasia group for Black Americans.   Michael Obel-Omia  Thank you, Lyssa. I had a stroke on 21 May, 2016. And I worked very hard to be able to talk first. But no one had talked about being a Black person, about the ideas we had. So I talked to Darlene Williamson. And I said, this is great. I know so many wonderful people. Aphasia Resource Center is so plentiful, so wonderful. I've been creative writing, I've done Toastmasters, everything like that. But I still haven't spoken to Black Americans.   There are 2 million people who have aphasia. And probably about 10% of the population is a Black person. So I said to Darlene—I said, “Is it possible I could talk to people about being Black with aphasia, to talk about what's going on?” And she was very excited. She called Roy Hamilton. I spoke with him, from the University of Pennsylvania. I talked to him for a while. And it started, we started doing it. I started thinking about what we could do. We called a few people together, emailed. All of a sudden, I think in January 2022, we had people on the Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group, four or five people at first. But now, we have meetings twice a month in April, in May, etc. with 19 participants. It's a wonderful thing now. It's really great.   Lyssa Rome Wow. So it's grown from this, this need that you felt, and that you saw, to have a space for Black Americans with aphasia, to… it sounds like a really thriving group.   Michael Obel-Omia Yes. Yes, that's true. And again, please remember, there are dozens or hundreds of people with aphasia, and it's wonderful. It really is great—to hear from different people is wonderful. But this is a chance for a few Black people to talk about being Black.   Lyssa Rome When the group came together for the first time, what did you think? Or what was your reaction when you were among other Black people with aphasia? What did that feel like for you?   Michael Obel-Omia Well, of course, I'm an educator—28 years teaching English and everything and preparing for education, everything, English. So I was very nervous. The first time I said, “What am I gonna do?” I sat down and wrote out the outline of what I was going to do. I had to have all the ideas. I went on the internet for ideas—what's happening here, what's happening there. I'm very nervous about things. I'm nervous about everything now, with the stroke, with everything, I'm nervous. But I was already prepared with an outline. I had it written down, ready to go. And I was ready to do that.   We started talking about, “Well, what are you doing? What's going on? How's it happening? What do you do that's so much fun?” So we started talking about things and talking about ourselves. And just chatting about things. I had my outlines so precise, written down, for conversations—being an English teacher. But now I just go in and I go in, I'm smiling and laughing about “What's going on. How are you doing? How is it, having aphasia? How is it, talking about what's happening? What's getting in the way?” And that is one hour. That's what it is: Black Americans talking about us.   Lyssa Rome  Sounds like a really meaningful experience. And when we first spoke about doing this podcast, you described the feeling of relief that you felt, being in a room with other people who shared this experience with you.   Michael Obel-Omia Yes, I have great relief. I have a great feeling. I'm so relaxed, is what I am. When I'm talking to someone right now about podcasts, obviously, my senses are tense right now. My shoulders are high. I'm nervous. I'm worried about what I should say. But when I call the Black Aphasia Conversation Group, my shoulders drop down. There's great relief. Great relaxing, I'm smiling. I'm laughing. It's a lot of fun just to see what's going on.   There are serious issues too. One time, a woman wrote about fear and anxiety. What was going to happen, what I'm worried about, I think being anxious, having a stroke on 21 May, 2016. I'm really anxious about things now. Really, anxiety. I'm very worried things will happen. It's very silly. I mean, when I think about it, it's very silly, but I'm anxious about things.   So a woman asked us, “What about aphasia? What about anxiety?” And we talked about that. Dr. Gadson—Dr. Davetrina Gadson— talked about fear or flight. And of course, for me, Fate—Native Son by Richard Wright. Fear, flight, fate. So we talked about that very seriously, about what it is to be so anxious about things. So there are things that are fun and laughing and great relief and comfort, but fear and flight and fate. Yeah, that's there too.   Lyssa Rome  So it sounds like you are able to talk about a wide range of experiences that you have—both the joyful experiences, and then also the harder experiences and the anxiety and the other emotions that can go along with aphasia. You mentioned Dr. Davetrina Seles Gadson, who was recently on our podcast. The episode with her will be linked in our show notes. I'm wondering if you could describe how the group works a little bit more. What's Dr. Seles Gadson's role? What's your role? You mentioned that you meet twice a month? Tell us a little bit more about the nuts and bolts of it.   Michael Obel-Omia  And so we're all on here on the Zoom 12 of us, 14, 19 participants, and we can talk about it. What makes us tick? What's happening? So everyone can talk about something. Everything—we can talk about it. We talked for about an hour—what's happening, what's going on. And it's wonderful.   Twice, or three or four times, we've had Black Jeopardy, which is Jeopardy with Black people. And she asks great questions. It's a lot of fun to hear. And we can laugh about that as well. It's great. And it's a lot of fun to ask great questions. It's just fun to talk about that. And people feel really good about ourselves.   But we stop for a few seconds to talk about: “How can I get prescriptions? How can I find about someone [to answer] questions or ideas or opportunities or issues? I mean, how do I get somebody? How do I find somebody in Philadelphia? How to find somebody near Maryland about this question? How do I find this out? How do I find speech therapy? How do I find that?” And sometimes it's pretty frustrating. It's like, “Well, I don't know how to do this anymore. I used to meet with a speech therapist, and now they say, ‘No—no more anymore.' What can I do?” And so we talked about that.   Lyssa Rome  Yeah, yeah. So many frustrations and obstacles that aphasia can cause for people and I think it sounds like what you're describing is people with Aphasia in the group helping one another to find some solutions. Is that one of the functions of the group?   Michael Obel-Omia    Yes, I have the idea. I have aphasia. I have ideas of what I'm supposed to say, but sometimes I can hear people say something. And—excuse me, I try to be humble—I'm a pretty smart guy for years with aphasia. I was a teacher at Roxbury Latin, at William Penn Charter, University School. I was the head of school at Paul Cuffee School. I'm pretty smart. I can do that. Now, I got aphasia in 2016. I have the idea now, but I can't do it just right.   About a month ago with the Boston Globe—I just did an article in the Boston Globe about a time I was in North Carolina with Aphasia Access that day. Aphasia Access was wonderful with Stroke Across America. It was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful night—Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It was great.   I was at the airport in Durham, to get on at North Carolina at Charlotte. And I was anxious because I couldn't do something that the security officer asked of me and I froze. I was frightened. And I was very lucky—a very kind, very young Black man reached out to me, and said, “Come on, follow me. Come on.” And I followed him. And very simple, all of about 25 seconds. But I was very afraid. I was very worried about what I was supposed to do. What am I supposed to do right now? What do you want me to do right now? I was froze. But I walked easily—walked through very easily, very comfortably, very quietly. But yeah, I have aphasia. It's really hard. I can't imagine—I just can't imagine how hard life is sometimes.   Lyssa Rome  Yeah, yeah. And I mean, I think what you're describing are some of those moments where aphasia can really get in the way. And I can imagine that as a Black man in America, feeling frozen when someone has asked someone, say like a TSA agent in the airport, is asking you to do something, and you're not sure what they're asking you, there's an extra layer, or many extra layers, of experience, of history, of fear that goes along with that, that I'm not sure—as much as, say a white person who has aphasia can understand the experience of not knowing exactly how to respond to someone, not fully understanding what they're saying. I'm not sure that they can understand that, or it might be harder for them to understand that second level of your experience as a Black man with aphasia.   Michael Obel-Omia Yeah, being a Black man. It is very hard. I don't think on a podcast you can see my face, but I write things the way I look at things. I can look very serious and very angry. But you know, my face is angry and frustrated, and I have to deal with that sometimes. And I can't do anything about it. Sometimes, I look very angry, but it is what it is. And I understand that sometimes I can be looked at this way. It's one of the chances of life.   Lyssa Rome  Michael, you told us about the origins of the National aphasia Association's Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group, and talked a little bit about how that group works. I know that there are some other similar groups out there. And one of them is San Francisco State's Gray Matter Lab, which also has a Black Conversation Group. There are some Spanish-language aphasia groups as well. I'm wondering, what should people know about identity-based aphasia groups? What advice would you have for people who want to start a group like yours?   Michael Obel-Omia Every single lives have aphasia, 24 hours, seven days a week. Always aphasia. Always. When this ends, I have to go back to my house, or my apartment, my home, wherever, and I have to think about aphasia. I'm always thinking about having aphasia. So it's wonderful to think about aphasia for one hour, twice a month, I can relax. I can say what I feel about things. I can laugh. I can stumble and fall over words. And it's okay. That's all right. It's fine. It's wonderful. And that's what this opportunity does every time. We can talk among ourselves, with other Black people, smile, laugh, be comfortable, relax. We can be worried about things sometimes. We can be anxious about fear and anxiety. Mostly we can laugh, what we're doing. And it feels right. It feels good for one hour, once every twice a month. So yeah.   Lyssa Rome So I also had the chance to speak with some other members of the National Aphasia Association's Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group. And here's what they had to say about it.   [music]   My next guest is Dr. Roy Hamilton, professor in the departments of neurology, psychiatry and physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania, where he's the director of both Penn's Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation, and the Penn Brain Science, Translation, Innovation and Modulation Center. Dr. Hamilton also serves on the board of the National Aphasia Association. Dr. Hamilton, welcome to Aphasia Access Conversations.   Roy Hamilton  Thank you. It's such a pleasure to be here.   Lyssa Rome   So tell me a little bit about why you think it's important for Black people for people of color, maybe more generally, with aphasia to have a space to meet with other people who identify in the same way.   Roy Hamilton    Well, first, I want to take a step back and talk about aphasia as it occurs in individuals who identify as Black or African American, you have to understand that aphasia has a couple of principal causes. For many individuals, it's on the basis of having had a stroke. For others, their aphasia arises from having a neurodegenerative condition, something called primary progressive aphasia. But for both of those causes, whether it be neurodegenerative conditions like underlying Alzheimer's pathology, or whether it's vascular disease like stroke, it turns out that individuals who are African American are at substantively higher risk than the rest of the population. And because aphasia is the most common cognitive manifestation of stroke, if we understand that conditions like stroke are much more prevalent in this population, we're also talking about a population that is substantively more burdened by aphasia or challenged by aphasia. So just on the basis of what causes the condition, we understand that we're talking about a population that is at greater risk.   Now, having said that, in addition to the incidence and the prevalence of the condition itself, there are also many, many barriers that prevent individuals who are Black in this country from obtaining all manner of care, and amongst that care, ways to address, or ways to help with their aphasia. And so, targeted efforts are especially important when you're trying to overcome these kinds of barriers.   And then thirdly, in instances where individuals are able to access care, it's often the case that they're treated differently. They receive a different level or a different kind of care than the rest of the population. So that's another reason why it is important to be focused and intentional and to think about creating venues, creating spaces, where we can focus on the needs of individuals who are Black, who are living with aphasia.   Lyssa Rome   So then, tell me about what you think this group is doing for the people who are part of it?   Roy Hamilton   Well, I think one thing that's important about the group is that it provides a sense of community, a level of comfort. I think that that comes through in the kinds of things that are discussed, the kinds of conversations that are had. They often range towards topics that are culturally relevant, that feel comfortable to the group. And here again, I want to draw a distinction or perhaps point to another aspect of having a focused, intentional group that makes it valuable. Groups of individuals who are brought together to have conversations have an easier time having conversations when they are comfortable with each other, when they're comfortable with the setting, and when you're talking about topics that seem relevant to them. So I think bringing all those elements to a conversation group is a particular value. And I think it's a particular value to this group.   Lyssa Rome    You mentioned earlier about the incidence and prevalence of aphasia for Black people in this country. So is there anything else that you want to add that you think is important to have in here, from your perspective?   Roy Hamilton When we're talking about aphasia, and how it affects Black communities, I think the thing that I would emphasize is that this is not an issue that should only be of interest to individuals and communities who are Black, or persons who care for and work with persons with aphasia, who are themselves marginalized, or minoritized individuals. Health equity, and equity around aphasia is everyone's responsibility. And so I think it is perhaps as important, if not more important, that everyone be aware of disparities as they exist in aphasia, for individuals who are Black and other populations as well. And so I'm really glad that we are having this opportunity to have this conversation.   Lyssa Rome  Thank you. I think that that's an important note to end on. And I appreciate it. Thanks so much for taking the time to talk with me today, Dr. Hamilton.   Roy Hamilton Really, it's my pleasure. Thank you.   [music]   Lyssa Rome  My next guest is Dr. Donald Cunnigen, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Rhode Island, where he was the first Black full professor of sociology with tenure since the founding of the university in 1892. He was a member of the steering committee that started the Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group and continues to be an active member of the group. Doc, welcome to the show.   Doc Cunnigen  Thank you. What has it meant to me? It has been an important place where I can feel comfortable in sharing my experiences as a person who, well, basically suffers from dysarthria.   Once I was in another group, and I mentioned our group. And one of the members turned around and asked, “Why do you need an all-Black group?” And I had to say, “The fact that you asked that question is an indication of why we need the group!”   People feel comfortable in groups where they can express themselves the way they are, and not feel somewhat intimidated if they don't speak proper English or people are making fun of their dialect. You may not feel free to say things the way you feel like saying them. So we explore issues on a regular basis that deal with our daily lives. And a lot of people don't fully appreciate that we have a different journey through life as people of color. And we all have different racialized experiences.   There are some commonalities. But the one commonality is that we are Black in America, and that is a special thing in and of itself. And since we have aphasia, it somewhat colors all of our experiences, like negotiating the racism that one might find in institutionalized medicine. Sometimes it's subtle and other times it's blatant. But we often encounter it. And this group helps you to deal with it.   Lyssa Rome Yeah, yeah. It sounds like you're describing a space in which you can both be yourself and then also connect with others who have an experience that people who aren't Black—people with Aphasia who don't have that experience of being Black in America—just might have a very hard time understanding. And so to have that space seems like a very important thing.   Doc Cunnigen    Well it helps us to get through the day, but it also helps not only with those institutional things I referenced, but little experiential things that we have, that people with aphasia, dysarthria, or TBI only know. That we have to deal with. People bring up, “Oh I have this problem, or I have that problem.” And we can share those types of things. So this is a very comforting place, where people share with each other the good times and the bad times.   Lyssa Rome What advice would you have for people who are interested in starting identity-based aphasia groups?   Doc Cunnigen   Well, it helps to have someone who is sensitive to one's cultural or linguistic abilities. That awareness is helpful. It will also help if there is someone who is culturally or linguistically identified with the group, but it's not necessary, if you have the sensitivity. I think it is important not only for one to be sensitive, but to become a bit knowledgeable. Reciprocity, being able to exchange with the stroke survivor, is critical. Listen. Listening is very difficult for anybody, whether they have aphasia or not. Now that I have difficulty with my speech, I appreciate the ability to listen and have patience. Lyssa Rome Doc Cunnigen, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about the group. I really appreciate it.   Doc Cunnigen  Thank you for having such a nice program.   [music]   Lyssa Rome    My next guest is Dr. Denise Mendez. Denise is an educator who worked for 29 years as a teacher, administrator, and curriculum coordinator. She has a website: morethanaphasia.com, and a podcast called Still Something to Say. Denise is one of the leaders of the Mid Atlantic Aphasia Conference and the facilitator of the Penn State Alumni Aphasia Group. She also participates in multiple aphasia groups, including San Francisco State's Black Conversation Group, and the NAA's Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group. Denise, welcome to the podcast.   Denise Mendez    Thank you so much, Lyssa.   Lyssa Rome   Denise, what has the NAA's Black Americans with Aphasia group meant to you?   Denise Mendez    Well, you know what? The conversation group, it's sort of like—this sounds corny—but it's family, you know. It's a comfortable, safe place for us to check with one another, “How are you? How's everything going?” It's very familial. I don't know, it sounds weird. But like I call some of the folks there, different ones, I'll say like, “Oh, that's my cousin.” You know what I mean? Like, you've got all these cousins down this family line, but aphasia is what made us connected.   So we encourage one another, we teach each other, we just share information from other people. The beautiful thing is, people are all over the United States. It's not just a little group out of Philadelphia, or out of the New England area, because that's where our leaders are, but we're all over the United States. And we're connected. It's very comfortable, where sometimes, different things that happen in the United States, I mean, come on, let's not even go into the whole history of the United States and all of that, but you're going to get different perspectives when it's a group with all African Americans there. You have different perspectives than, say, your general population. What's very good about the groups are the groups are aphasia-friendly. Nobody's talking up here. Nobody's talking underneath anyone. It's just a conversation. It reminds me of how we used to have in the summer, and your whole family would be there. What are those called when your family…   Lyssa Rome    Like a family reunion?   Denise Mendez     Reunion, thank you, when everybody's there. So you've got some young people there, you've got some of the seniors there, you've got the middle group there. But everybody's having a conversation, and everybody's putting a little bit of this on, we're sharing some music, we're sharing some games. And guess what, when people have a bad day, or a rough time, or they just need to vent, it's a space for them to do that as well.   Lyssa Rome    Yeah. That brings me to my next question for you, which is, you know, you've been part of these two groups plus many others. What advice would you have for other people with aphasia who are interested in starting an identity-based aphasia group?   Denise Mendez    You got to have trust, if people don't trust that this is a safe place, that this is a place that I can just say what I want to say, the way I say it, I don't have to measure my words, or people are going to judge me, because I'm using double negatives, or dropping off the INGs and things like that off your words, then it's just a more free conversation.   So I applaud anyone who would like to start an identity-based group. But just know, you can't just wake up and say, you know, I'm gonna do that tomorrow. You've got some homework to do. So do some homework, find out what the need is for the group. And just remember, you've got to be authentic, you may not be a part of the identity group. That doesn't mean you still can't be effective facilitating that group.   Lyssa Rome   I think that's great advice. And I really appreciate hearing from you about what this group has meant to you and also your thoughts about these kinds of identity-based groups in general.   Denise Mendez Yeah.   Lyssa Rome Dr. Denise Mendez, thank you so much for being part of this podcast.   [music]   Lyssa Rome Michael, I know you brought in the mission statement that you wrote, when you were starting the Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group. Would you like to share that with us?   Michael Obel-Omia    Yes. The Black American Aphasia Conversation Group is a place for Black people, the patient to share their stories, provide support, encourage meditative reflection, and brainstorm ways to advocate for relevant policies. This diverse, inclusive, aphasia-friendly group will discuss the unique challenges and gifts we share due to our experiences with disability and race. And it's open to all who support its mission of creating an emotional refuge for Black persons living with aphasia.   Lyssa Rome     I think that that mission statement is such an important summary of what you've been talking about, of the kind of space that it sounds like you've been able to create with this group.   Michael Obel-Omia     Well, thank you, thank you so much. With being this part, it's great for you to hear about it.   Lyssa Rome     It sounds like you've found, in that hard work and the advocacy that you've done, you found another way to make a meaningful difference for other Black people with aphasia, who are part of this group.   Michael Obel-Omia     Absolutely. Yes.   Lyssa Rome     Thank you so much for talking with us, for sharing about your group—about the National Aphasia Association's Black Americans with Aphasia Conversation Group. Michael Obel-Omia, it has been such a pleasure talking with you.   Michael Obel-Omia     Thank you very much.   Lyssa Rome     And thanks to Dr. Roy Hamilton, Doc Cunnigen, Denise Mendez and Darlene Williamson of the National Aphasia Association.   Thank you also to our listeners.

How do you experience stress? Does it come from a hard day at work? Or being stretched too thin supporting others? Worrying about food? Living in a difficult environment?   So many factors can contribute to stress, and we're all feeling it. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee believes our stress levels are higher than ever and that it's making us sicker. Dr. Chatterjee is a physician who practices lifestyle medicine, meaning he treats his patients with chronic conditions in part through helping them live healthier, happier lives – which includes less stress.   In this episode, the Surgeon General and Dr. Chatterjee explore the impact of stress on the body, the journey of wellness/lifestyle medicine, and what makes them feel passionate about being doctors. As they reach into personal stories to explain how and why they care for people, Dr. Chatterjee reveals his frustration with how the medical establishment has historically treated lower-income people and his firm belief in making great medical information available to all.  We'd love to hear from you! Send us a note at housecalls@hhs.gov with your feedback & ideas.  (03:26)   How stressed are we?  (05:55)    How does stress influence our behaviors?  (08:57)    How have you seen stress manifest in people's lives?  (11:57)    How is stress like being chased by a tiger?  (15:57)    Why does stress hit us in the gut (and the libido)?  (20:03)    How did you become a doctor?  (26:40)    How has doctoring become so much more than seeing a patient in an office?  (31:48)    Listening is real medicine.  (35:05)    How Dr. Chatterjee's son's illness changed everything.  (41:15)    What's Dr. Chatterjee's approach to treating chronic conditions?  (45:27)    How does lifestyle influence our health?  (46:49)    Why all patients should get great health information.  Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Physician & Podcast Host Twitter: @drchatterjeeuk  Instagram: @drchatterjee  Facebook: @drchatterjee  About Dr. Rangan Chatterjee  Dr. Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential medical doctors in the UK and wants to change how medicine will be practiced for years to come.

HRT involves taking hormones to replace those that your body has stopped making or doesn't make enough of. For women, this is usually estrogen and progesterone. For men, it's testosterone. There are various ways to take these hormones – pills, dermal patches or gels, creams, or suppositories.   In this episode, we are joined by an Author and Regenerative and Sports Medicine Doctor, Dr. Rand McClain. He shares his expertise in regenerative medicine and answers burning questions about whether hormone replacement therapy, especially TRT, would be good for you or not. He also talks about the difference between Clomid and Enclomiphene and, finally, just what exactly rapamycin is.   Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in the alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the earliest promoted to senior account manager in Deloitte's history at the time, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the “status quo.” Dr. Rand's patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative, and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapies, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health.   Dr. McClain earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine Residency Program (U.S.C. California Hospital) and has worked with some of the best and original innovators in Sports, Rejuvenative, Regenerative (“Anti-Aging”), Cosmetic and Family Medicine.   Learn more about Dr. McClain: Website: https://drrandmcclain.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/Dr-Rand-McClain-100417839001669 IG: https://www.instagram.com/dr.randmcclain   Pre-order his book: https://www.cheatingdeath.com/shop Show notes: [0:59] What's Dr. McClain's journey and background?

If good gut health means having more good bacteria than harmful bacteria, then it makes sense that poor gut health is often caused by an excess of harmful bacteria. While these causes can quickly change the balance of bacteria in your gut, day-to-day habits also impact your gut health.   We're all familiar with the organs and structures that make up the gut. We also are probably familiar with the gut's role in digestion. But not all of us are aware of how our gut impacts our overall health, even when we think we have a “healthy” gut. In this episode, we are joined by a Family Practice physician and the Medical Director of Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Joe Mather, to talk all about gut health, its issues, and how you can improve yours. He also shares tips on better dieting and the importance of probiotics.   Dr. Mather is a board-certified Family Practice physician and the Medical Director of the Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine. He graduated from the Tulane University School of Medicine and the Tulane University School of Public Health in 2011 and completed his residency in 2014. He is passionate about delivering cost-effective and practical medical care with a focus on GI health and environmental toxicity. He spends a lot of time working with patients suffering from complex and chronic diseases. You will find him chasing his three small children, exercising, or playing music when he is not working with patients.   Learn more about Dr. Joe: Website: https://ruscioinstitute.com/   Grab a copy of Dr. Ruscio's book: https://www.amazon.com/Healthy-Gut-You-Michael-Ruscio/dp/0999766805 Show notes: [0:53] What's Dr. Joe's backstory?

The brain is always active, even during sleep. However, certain activities can engage the brain in new ways, potentially leading to improvements in memory, cognitive function, or creativity. Although the brain gets plenty of exercise daily, certain activities may help boost brain function and connectivity. This, in turn, may help protect the brain from age-related degeneration.   Today, Dr. Tommy Wood joins us to talk about his beginnings and what got him where he is now. He talks about the factors that affect or cause cognitive decline and also shares a few recommendations on what food, exercise, or mental activity can help you avoid it.   Tommy Wood is a Senior Fellow in the Pediatrics Department at the University of Washington, and Chief Scientific Officer of Nourish Balance Thrive, an online-based company using advanced biochemical testing to optimize performance in athletes.   Tommy was born in the US to Icelandic and British parents. He was predominantly raised in the UK but also spent periods of time at school in Iceland, Germany, and France. Tommy received a bachelor's degree in Natural Sciences and Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge before studying medicine at the University of Oxford. He worked as a junior doctor in central London for two years after medical school and then moved to Norway to complete a Ph.D. in physiology and neuroscience at the University of Oslo.   Follow Dr. Tommy at: IG: https://www.instagram.com/drtommywood/     Show notes: [0:45] What's Dr. Tommy's background, and how he got to where he is today?

Dr. Zach Schaefer is the Founder and CEO of Spark The Discussion. He is also a Speaker, Author, Professor, and Consultant. Spark specializes in diagnosing, designing, and deploying a variety of workplace programs focused on solving internal talent challenges from hire to retire. Dr. Zach shares that the problems you're dealing with in business are only a symptom to a bigger problem, and that's a behavioral problem. When you can facilitate a conversation of healthy conflict and solve the behavioral problem, things run a lot smoother in the company!    Key Takeaways: [1:55] Properly structured conflict is a business person's most useful tool.  [3:20] World class organizations figure out how to create healthy conflict, but not stay in it. [5:00] Emotional volatility can be a real issue among CEOs.  [6:20] Although one of Dr. Zach's clients was seeing a healthy amount of growth within the company, the workplace culture was horrible. People were miserable.  [8:10] High-driven CEOs can also have a ‘swing for the fences' kind of personality where they take calculated risks, but also have a hard time letting go of control.   [10:15] CEOs who don't want to let go of control need to remind themselves what they're working towards.  [11:45] Dr. Zach noticed that when there's a conflict, 3 out of 4 times, it's not a business issue. It's a behavioral issue.  [12:55] Trying to understand ‘what happened' or who made the mistake is the easiest part. It's what comes after that isn't; emotions and identity.  [14:15] When does it make sense for Dr. Zach to help in and facilitate healthy conflict? [19:35] What's Dr. Zach's work style and process when working with executives? [25:25] Dr. Zach doesn't do virtual consultations. He believes it's important to be in the room together.  [31:00] After a dialogue has been opened, how does Dr. Zach help his clients continue to do the necessary ‘people work' without him? [33:15] It's not about what a CEO can't do, it's about what they have to stop doing.  [36:15] Dr. Zach shares the concept of ‘Meeting Stew' and ‘Conflict Chili'. [39:40] Dr. Zach recommends you do ‘trust rankings' on your leadership team to get a gauge on what everyone is feeling.  Mentioned in This Episode: Dynastylc.com Email Todd: Todd@Dynastylc.com Sparkthediscussion.com Dr. Zach on LinkedIn Call Dr. Zach: 618-558-2428 Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most by Douglas Stone What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful by Marshall Goldsmith Triggers: Sparking positive change and making it last Kindle Edition by Marshall Goldsmith

In our opinion, Dr. Eric Jones is the definition of a Super GP. There is nothing he won't do for his patients in the Atlanta-Metro area. He's adopted a new kind of “hybrid practice” model that incorporates a wide variety of procedures and multi-practice elements.  A hybrid office is an innovative way to give your patients exactly what they need while working together with other dentists. Dr. Jones can sometimes complete ten or more different procedures in one day. He walks us through a typical day in his practice and discusses some of the differences he sees between implant patients vs. filling patients.  Dr. Jones spent the first two years of his career in a small family practice, learning how to treat people and help patients live healthier lives. We discuss how this differs from a corporate dental setting and why we need to change the way we approach dentistry that focuses more on the patient experience.  Creating the right patient experience doesn't have to fall entirely on your shoulders. Dr. Jones recommends seeking out mentors, coaches, and other dentists who have the resources you need. This is how he sparked the idea for a hybrid dental office -- a business model where dentists work together to create a better work-life balance.  Dr. Jones works with dentists, helping them with everything from business planning to patient communication to team development and hiring the right people. He wants dentists to feel confident in their skills and their community. The idea is to break away from the corporate model and help dentists get to where they want to be while maintaining control of their practice and their business. In This Episode You Will Learn Why Dr. Jones teamed up with an anesthesiologist at the get-go 5:20 The differences between working in small practices vs. corporate offices 11:11 Why patients prefer having all their procedures in one place 17:20 The real rewards of working with implant cases 23:50 How the hybrid model can compete with the traditional corporate model 38:50 What corporate dentistry looks like in the Atlanta-Metro area 41:32 Some Questions We Ask How did Dr. Jones choose to become a GP? 1:11 What does a typical day in a hybrid office look like? 8:36 Does Dr. Jones love the business side of dentistry? 25:55 Where did Dr. Jones get the idea for a hybrid group practice? 30:33 What kind of training does Dr. Jones provide in his hybrid practice? 34:57 What's Dr. Jones' favorite dental slang to use around the office? 47:31  Resources Visit our website: www.DentalSlang.com Connect with us on Facebook: Dental Slang Get in touch with Dr. Eric Jones: drjones@dentalcombine.com

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week we're venturing down to South Africa where we meet one of Africa's most prominent experts on African philanthropy. Dr. Bhekinkosi Moyo, born and raised in Zimbabwe--now based in Pretoria, SA, is a descendant of the Moyo (heart/soul) and Ndlovu (elephant) clans. Over the course of his personal and professional lives, he has continued to marvel and draw strength from their combined histories and diversities. He is a writer, author, researcher and thought-leader with keen interest in questions of African resources, democracy and governance. He has, so far, championed African discourse on philanthropy, contributed to the growth of many African civil society formations and has taken part in most of the continental processes of development and governance. He is currently an adjunct professor at University of the Witwatersrand Business School where he also heads the Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment https://capsi.co.za/ . Dr. Moyo has more than twenty years experience working on knowledge generation, research and policy analysis as well as building capable institutions across Africa.

[Guest: Dr. Barre Lando] [Part 2 of 2] Join Dr. Edith & Dr. Barre Lando for a fascinating journey exploring health, medicine, and healing - from the perspectives of Bioterrain Medicine and Waveform Physics. ~~~ * Walter Russell - how waveform physics brings us into the "Age of Transmutation." * Nature works in a cyclic pattern. If we mimic nature's forces, we would have a life of joy & peace. * Waveform physics - taking diagnostic process to find line of resistance. Rx chemistry to manipulate electrical properties. * DNA is also a Dual Impedance Antenna - this is why it's not a great idea to have non-human DNA in our blood. * Broadcast a frequency that brings back symmetry. * Focusing work at the Upstream level of creation. * Walter Russell "you're better off quitting school at 4th grade." * "If (what we learn in school) is the whole ball of wax, why do we have famine, war, epidemics, etc?" * Waveform Physics - understanding of electrical forces and how every thought creates a precise vector of force, which plays out in physical reality. * Human body is a composite of countless electrical vectors that create every cell and every process in the cell. * Electrical forces "mate" with each other via Yin-Yang back and forth hydraulic system to create atoms * DNA changes - when we change of belief systems and release old entrainments of emotions. * The 3 "Miasms" in homeopathy. * How to break free from old habits and beliefs? * If Dr. Barre Lando were “Head of CDC” or “King of his own island” what would the healthcare look like? * "You wouldn't be king if you told people what to do. Interfere with their freewill." * "If you over police your children, and micromanage their lives, it's not the best way to create confidence and sovereignty." * The police-state makes people act like children. * Hippocrates - medicine as a sacred science. Following universal law. Reconnect people to their creative source. * Teaching hygiene - clean body, clean mind. "We live in a benevolent universe. Nature is self-maintaining and self-healing." * Medicine on knowledge, and allow people freedom to apply this knowledge freely. * Physician = Teacher. * What would our education system looks like? * Finding our purpose in life, serve the community, complete soul mission. * Look up Antoine Bechamp vs. Pasteur, the fraudulant history of germ theory. * Guther Endelein, Gaston Naessens' somatoscope, Royal Rife universal microscope, Walter Russell, Rudolf Steiner * The Age of Transmutation - every element is a resonant fields based on waveform. Create a waveform in a medium. * We don't need to mine things - just create via next generation of 3D printer. * Protection from EMF field - taking ourselves up to highest level of consciousness is best protection. * Shungite rocks, 90.10 technologies, and peacefully as a collective not use certain technologies. * How do we balance knowing all these truths - living in this world with so many challenging scenarios. * Life as a simulation.

If you've been hanging out with us for the last few weeks you realize there's been a theme we've been exploring, and it's this idea of biohacking! Over the last few weeks, we've looked at red light therapy, we've talked about HRV and this cool device called the Lief, and today is the grand finale to complete this triple threat of biohacking!   I had the pleasure of welcoming my colleague and friend to the podcast, Dr. Marc Bubbs. He is a naturopathic doctor, speaker, performance nutrition lead for Canada Basketball, and the author of his new, second book: Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports, an integrated and personalized approach to health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. And here's the thing: Dr. Bubbs knows that my audience is not necessarily elite super athletes, but we are elite and we are super and we're always looking for an edge when it comes to performance — and that's what we get into today!   In this episode, we talk about metabolic rate, how to dose your coffee and leverage it in exercise, to keto or not to keto, how to hack our sleep to optimize recovery, and how to take notice of the important recovery cues from our body that let us know whether we should be going hard at the gym or actually pulling back! We also discuss what time of the day is ideal for which types of workout, how to balance nutrition and movement, how to avoid burnout, and the power of addressing your mindset when it comes to performing at an elite level!   From mindset to tactics to movement to food, we cover it all in this episode as we wrap up our biohacking series — so be sure to tune in!   Key Takeaways: [1:00] About today's show with Dr. Marc Bubbs! [2:58] Welcoming Dr. Marc Bubbs back to the show! [3:16] Dr. Bubbs tells us more about his background and gives an update since the last time he was here. [4:21] What is Dr. Bubbs's first recommended step to take to begin performing at a higher level? [5:49] Does Dr. Bubbs find that high performers get burnt out and struggle with ‘sickness' or are there people who are inherently unwell? Or is it a bit of both? [7:22] Does Dr. Bubbs find that people who are consistently getting sick have less understanding around the ideas of recovery? And what do we do about working out and pushing ourselves hard physically when we're consistently feeling under the weather? [12:02] What kinds of activities should we be looking at when we aim to get fit in 26 weeks rather than four? [20:00] How do we balance reps and sets with cardio? Especially for those that struggle with recovery. [22:04] How do we balance movement and nutrition? What's Dr. Bubbs's philosophy around nutrition and endurance. [24:25] What should we do, on the backend, to fuel our workouts? [26:06] Should we be having coffee or doing Slow-Low training in a fasted state? What are some of the other keys to success for morning training sessions? [27:55] When should we be weight training? [28:50] Keto or not to keto? [31:17] Dr. Bubbs highlights some objective findings when it comes to the keto diet. [33:23] What's the connection between someone's metabolic rate and their thyroid health? And are the traditional ways that we're measuring thyroid health sufficient? [35:58] Dr. Bubb speaks about a key highlight from his book: the correlation between animals living longer and having a higher state of oxidative stress. [37:57] Dr. Bubbs highlights some of the things related to low resiliency. [39:52] How to optimize your coffee habit! [43:30] The power of addressing your mindset when you're looking to perform at an elite level in life. [46:21] How do we reframe our ideas around pressure and stress to avoid burnout?

One of the most important pieces of advice Dr. Bubbs highlighted in this episode was the importance of sticking with your nutrition and fitness goals if you want real progress. The people that make strides set healthy, achievable goals that can be maintained for long periods of time rather than those who push themselves twice as hard but can only maintain it for a few weeks. Let us know about your long-term goals and how you're going to adjust your fitness schedule to maintain it for the long haul!

This week's quickfire round is with Dr. Nothabo Ncube, an inspirational African doctor who had gone on to become an International Speaker and Millenial Mentor. "Dr.Thabo" envisions a world where women and young girls are empowered to forge their own path and be free to share their brokenness as well as their breakthroughs. She is now on a mission to educate the willing on how to wield adversity and use it to become better prepared in embracing their purpose. "I feel humbled to have been given peace by the universe." - Dr. Nothabo Ncube We had the distinct pleasure of sharing a conversation with Dr. Nothabo back in episode 39. She talked about the loss of her mother and how it became the defining moment in identifying her purpose. At just 14 years old, Dr. Nothabo's promise to become a servant-leader through medicine had been her guiding light. She studied relentlessly and graduated top of her class in high school. Dr. Nothabo had earned herself a scholarship to pursue medicine in one of Canada's top universities. But becoming a doctor is easier said than done. Motherless and crushed under school pressure, she soon found herself struggling with depression. Getting up in the mornings suddenly became a chore. She started missing classes and soon found herself kicked out of the scholarship program. Her dream seemed bleak especially since she didn't have the means to casually re-enroll. Dr. Nothabo was not one who would give up though. After an insightful talk with her father, she had a renewed sense of hope. This hope and a lot of hard work enabled her to eventually get accepted into medical school. Getting accepted is one thing, but having to afford the expenses of studying medicine was another challenge. She tried to pool the money, but it wasn't until she did the unthinkable that she unlocked her breakthrough moment -- she sent Oprah Winfrey a letter and had gotten invited to attend Oprah's Lifeclass. That was when Dr. Thabo received the greatest gift -- self-belief. The life class' key takeaway: "You become what you believe," had allowed her to dig deep and understand herself. This was it, her moment of transformation. Despite not having the monetary means then, her inspiring journey continued to unfold. Suffice to say, Nothabo Ncube had succeeded in her goal to become a medical doctor. But her journey didn't stop there as she continues her pursuit to serve, only now as a motivational speaker and coach. Join us in this quickfire segment to learn more about Dr. Nothabo Ncube. From the 3 words that best describe her, to her favorite book, to what her "I am" statement is -- this episode was fast but noteworthy.   IN THIS EPISODE: The 3 words that Dr. Nothabo picks to describe herself The first person that comes to her mind when she hears the word 'successful' What's Dr. Thabo's favorite book The one thing she can't get through the day without What does she carry around with her every day The song Dr. Nothabo picked as her life's theme song Dr. Thabo shares her worst habit What does she wish she had more of in her life Dr. Nothabo Ncube's "I am..."
