The origin story of Unbiased Science began with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unbiased Science provides a framework for thinking about how to approach information and misinformation. They cover a wide range of topics, including vaccines, COVID-19, nutrition, mental health, and more. They aim to provide evidence-based information and to debunk myths and misconceptions.

| 04 Dec 2018 | Bad words: why language counts when discussing weight with our patients | 00:56:21 | |
A few months ago, there was a HuffPost article entitled "Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong," by Michael Hobbes. It discussed the struggles of people who have obesity and how the medical system has failed them. It quoted Stephanie Sogg, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Weight Center at MGH (notice how it isn't called the "weight loss center"). In it, Dr. Sogg describes her approach as "being nicer to her patients than they are to themselves." Given that this article lambasted physicians for not being able to effectively discuss weight issues with their patients, I contacted Dr. Sogg to find out how we can improve at this. She provided me with an article she wrote. This article should be read by EVERY CLINICIAN IN THE COUNTRY. It is that powerful and important. In the episode title, I paraphrased an article she wrote entitled, "Bad words: why language counts in our work with bariatric patients." In it, Dr. Sogg explains how language can influence they way that we think about things. As physicians, we are authority figures and community leaders, so thereby, the language we use can influence how our patients think about themselves and our colleagues think about their patients, for better or for worse. This isn't a discussion on how to lose weight. This is a discussion on how to effectively discuss a topic that is extraordinarily sensitive and full of landmines. This is a discussion on how to avoid those landmines and earn the trust of a patient who is struggling and could use your empathy and understanding. The article that lambasted physicians: https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/everything-you-know-about-obesity-is-wrong/ Her article "Bad Words: why language counts in our work with bariatric patients" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550728918300285 Dr. Sogg: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/faculty-directory/stephanie-sogg https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/doctor.aspx?id=18165 Visit www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com to connect, dive deeper, and keep the conversation going.

She went to medical school at University of Texas at San Antonio and did her residency at George Washington University. Speaking to patients about their weight can be challenging as this often emotionally charged and multifactorial. Issues with body image, emotional eating, confusing and contradictory information about what, when and how to eat, and as one patient told me, you don’t have to smoke to live, but you have to eat to live. Her aim is to help people to have a healthier relationship with food and to untangle the complicated knot that surrounds food. We discuss her current podcast and her online journey, which included previously advocating for a specific way of eating, which she now believes is part of the problem. She also discusses her own interactions with the healthcare system that she found triggering regarding her weight. She teaches us effective ways to start the conversation, if at all, about eating habits, and how she believes that BMI is not an accurate measure of one’s health.

Be part of something exciting as we prepare to launch. Join the Doctor Podcast Network today! ______________________ In this episode, Dr Bradley Block interviews Derek Beres, to discuss the intersection of conspiracy theories and spirituality, particularly in the wellness space. Barris explains how "conspirituality" merges left-leaning new-age beliefs with right-wing political ideologies, often exploiting distrust in institutions like healthcare. They explore how wellness influencers leverage emotional appeal, certainty, and fear-mongering to market alternative health solutions. They also discuss how a strong focus on individualism contributes to the spread of medical misinformation and how social media plays a big role in making these ideas more popular. The conversation also touches on figures like RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again movement, which advocates for food regulation while paradoxically aligning with deregulation-focused politics. Dr Block and Barris went further to discuss how physicians can push back by fostering trust, communicating uncertainty effectively, and engaging in social media discourse. Bio Derek Beres is an author, speaker, and media expert based in Portland, Oregon. He has held senior editorial positions at various tech companies and has extensive experience in health, science, and music writing.

We then pivot into discussing compassion fatigue, first by defining it and then by exploring ways to interact with patients in a way that doesn’t end with us unnecessarily burdening ourselves with no benefit to the patients. We then end with some self-care practices that allow us to process those burdens. Find her at drnathaliemartinek.com Please be sure to leave a five-star review, a nice comment and SHARE!!!

Bradley and Dr. Jessica Dudley explore the multifaceted aspects of patient satisfaction, debunking the myth that wait times are the sole determinant. Dr. Dudley highlights the importance of staff collaboration, effective communication, and the utilization of technology in enhancing patient experiences. She stresses the crucial role of leadership in fostering a positive work environment and the significant impact it has on patient care. The conversation also touches on the potential of ambient AI in streamlining processes and the importance of continuously engaging with both patient and staff feedback to drive improvements. Bio:Meet Dr. Jessica Dudley, the wonder woman of the healthcare world, whose resume is so packed with accomplishments, you'd think she's been secretly cloning herself to get it all done. Formerly the chief medical officer at the Brigham and Women's Physicians Organization, she juggled quality performance improvements like a pro, chaired performance oversight committees like it was her hobby, and dived into Population Health Management efforts as if healthcare reform was the next Olympic sport. But wait, there's more! Currently, she's the Chief Clinical Officer at Press Ganey, wearing her cape and leading the charge on workforce wellbeing. Here, she's not just improving patient satisfaction scores; she's revolutionizing the way healthcare teams operate, making sure every member from the front desk to the operating table feels valued, heard, and part of the greater good.

In a nutshell, Dr. Dudley is the healthcare guru we all wish we had by our side during our last doctor's visit. With a blend of leadership, innovation, and a dash of wit, she's not just making waves; she's steering the ship towards a brighter healthcare future.

[00:15:00] The impact of small gestures, such as physicians taking the time to genuinely listen to patients' concerns, is elaborated on, showcasing how it significantly contributes to patient satisfaction. [00:26:00] Dr. Dudley addresses the challenges of presenting negative feedback to physicians, advocating for a balanced approach that prioritizes positive reinforcement while still acknowledging areas for improvement.

| 27 Feb 2021 | Vaccine Hesitancy and Allyship with Aysha Khoury, MD, MPH | 00:48:45 | |
In 2019, Dr. Aysha (i-sha) Khoury (koo-ree) was recruited to become founding faculty at Kaiser Permanente Bernard J Tyson School of Medicine. She developed case-based curricula, implementing flipped classroom and active learning pedagogies. She served as a small group facilitator and Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity Champion and Workgroup member. On August 28, 2020, within hours of engaging her small group in a critical discussion on bias and racism in medicine, she was targeted, suspended, and ultimately terminated without transparency or due process. We begin the interview by discussing her termination, what she felt led to it, although with the lack of transparency, she still hasn’t been informed. We use this as a jumping off point to discuss allyship, or in her situation, lack thereof. We then move on to why there is medical mistrust among minoritized communities, including a discussion on why we now use words like minoritized and enslaved. We finish with a discussion on how to address SARS-Co-V-2 vaccine hesitancy in the setting of justifiable medical mistrust. Her argument is that there is less hesitancy in the older population, so if we address the inequities in vaccination access, the older population will be able to influence the hesitations of the younger population. Dr. Khoury grew up in Atlanta, GA and completed her medical degree there at Morehouse School of Medicine. After completing an internal medicine residency and working as a primary care physician, she returned to Morehouse School of Medicine to complete training in public health and preventive medicine and earned a Master of Public Health. After this, Dr. Khoury returned to the Southeastern Permanenete Medical Group and pioneered a new role there as a Clinical Decision Unit Internist. This encompassed work in quality management, process improvement, and evaluation of treatment outcomes. Committed to education and advocacy early in her career, she served as an adjunct clinical assistant professor and Admissions Committee Member at Morehouse School of Medicine, where she was later inducted in the White Coat Society for demonstrating compassionate care and community service.

| 30 May 2021 | Use Humble Inquiry, Don't Make An A$$ out of U and Me with Edgar Schein, PhD, and Peter Schein, MBA | 00:51:06 | |
Award-winning father-son duo Edgar Schein and Peter Schein are renowned in the organizational healthcare development space. The pair co-founded the Organizational Culture and Leadership Institute and have collaborated on several books, including two in the Humble Leadership series. The first edition of Humble Inquiry (2013) has sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into 17 languages. Asking questions and actively listening to the answers is a foundational skill for everyone in the healthcare space. Unfortunately, in a world of accelerating change, we often find ourselves doing and telling rather than asking and listening. The Scheins believe our failure to ask humbly and with the right attitude has created healthcare spaces in which people do not feel psychologically safe to communicate freely – a trend that can be especially detrimental to both patients and healthcare professionals. This episode will help us to not only communicate better with our patients, but our healthcare team. Find them at OCLI.org Also, I am now part of a network.

| 10 Oct 2021 | Harness the Power of Language When Discussing Weight with Stephanie Sogg, PhD | 00:57:48 | |
This was one of my favorite interviews. I was a fledgling podcaster at the time when I interviewed Dr. Stephanie Sogg, a clinical psychologist at the Harvard Weight Center. She had been quoted in an article in the Huffington Post that lambasted physicians for not knowing how to talk to our patients about their weight. Interviews like this were the reason why I started podcasting. I emailed her and asked her if she could teach us the right way to have these discussions and she agreed! Talking to patients about their weight is fraught with landmines created by inordinately complex psychosocial issues. It is very easy to alienate a patient. Dr. Sogg teaches us the power of language and this has come up in other interviews since. Changing racial language from minority to minoritize and slave to enslaved changes the perspective of the listener. It subtly influences how that person is perceived. The same applies to discussing weight; when we change our language about body habitus to be less stigmatizing, it subtly influences the listener, be it our patients, students or colleagues. We also need to change the way we talk about food. According to Dr. Sogg, the only bad food has gone bad, tastes bad or is poisonous. Dr. Stephanie Sogg is a clinical psychologist and an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. She has treated patients with obesity at the MGH Weight Center since 2003. Dr. Sogg earned her PhD in clinical psychology from Rutgers University in 1998, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship with Harvard Medical School. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Sogg conducts research on obesity and bariatric surgery, and the intersection between obesity and addiction, and has published widely on obesity and related topics. She is an author of the Boston Interview for Bariatric Surgery, and of the official ASMBS Recommendations for the Pre-Surgical Psychosocial Evaluation of Bariatric Surgery Patients. She is the director of the Weight Center rotation for Behavioral Medicine psychology interns, and is active in national and international scientific obesity and weight loss surgery societies. She is currently serving as a member-at-large on the Integrated Health Executive Council for the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Today’s sponsor is Locumstory.

| 24 Jun 2022 | Rerelease: Size Matters Not: Tiny Habits for Big Changes, Part 1, with BJ Fogg, PhD | 00:37:35 | |
This interview is one of my most important. If you are doing to share any of my episodes, this is one that I would implore you to share with your friends, family and colleagues. This is part 1 of 2 of my interviews with BJ Fogg, PhD, author of the book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. We all struggle to change our behaviors, to develop good habits and stop bad habits. There is a lot of popular wisdom about this and most, if not all, is just wrong. This is where Dr. Fogg steps in. Dr. Fogg discovered the keys to changing behavior through changing habits. For those of you on medical school faculty, this should be a class. This should actually be taught in high school. Until then, as physicians, this information is critical, not just for lifestyle changes that can help patients eat better, move more, and smoke less, but even applies to checking their blood pressure and taking their medication. Popular wisdom is wrong. Guilt and shame are destructive. People don’t start habits by feeling badly, they start habits by feeling successful. And we are more likely to be successful by starting a habit that is small, that we actually want to do, and the third key to this is a prompt that reminds you it is time to perform the behavior. If you are going to learn piano, you start with chopsticks. If you are going to start to exercise, you do one sit-up. The smallest increment that you can fall back on when you motivation is waning so you don’t fall off the wagon completely and you keep your habit. And you do it at a point in your day that you can associate with the new behavior, even if they are completely unrelated. You’ll have a reminder that is baked into your day. Dr. Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Dr. Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world and interestingly, the Tiny Habits Academy long preceded the Tiny Habits book. He lives in Northern California and Maui.

| 06 Sep 2019 | The Onion's Scott Dikkers helps us find our patients' funny bones | 00:44:25 | |
Scott Dikkers founded the world’s first humor website, TheOnion.com, in 1996. A few years earlier he helped found the original Onion newspaper. He’s served as The Onion’s owner and editor-in-chief, on and off, for much of the last quarter century. He led The Onion’s rise from small, unknown college humor publication to internationally respected comedy brand. He is also a New York Times best seller, and Peabody Award winner. He documented his process for creating humor in his book, How to Write Funny, and the second in the series, How to Write Funnier, and next on the way, How to Write Funniest, which are the basis of the Writing with The Onion program he created and teaches at The Second City Training Center in Chicago. Scott offers other courses and free resources for comedy writers on the How to Write Funny website. He first dispels the myth that funny is innate an then we dive into how to be funny, starting with how to just dip our toes in the water. He teaches us how to recover from a failed joke, how to joke about subjects that might seem taboo, how to work humor into our office visits and lectures. Apparently, stand-up comics are jealous of our mundane topics. He has a system of 11 funny filters, or types of humor of which all jokes are made, and which are the most and least appropriate for physicians. If you take nothing else away from this, the one rule to follow for comedy is to afflict the comfortable while comforting the afflicted. Afflicting the comfortable might be out of our comfort zones, but comforting the afflicted is what we do!

| 28 Dec 2023 | Remember This!? BRAD’s Top 3 of All Time - Bonus 4th! | 03:29:32 | |
This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets. Also sponsored by Freed.AI - Get 50% off your first month of using their AI-powered medical scribe software! Just add PGD50 to your cart! In this year-end episode of The Physician's Guide to Doctoring, I revisit top episodes that resonated with listeners as well as MYSELF. The episode highlights conversations on nonverbal communication in healthcare with Blake Eastman, the impact of tiny habits in patient care with Dr. BJ Fogg, sensitive approaches to discussing weight with Dr. Stephanie Sogg, and the use of humor in patient interactions with Scott Dikkers. I conclude with a note on upcoming content and schedule changes, emphasizing the show’s commitment to enhancing physician-patient communication and personal growth. More on each episode: Nonverbal Communication from Behind the Mask with Blake EastmanPublished Jun 17, 2020 Blake Eastman is a guest like no other we’ve had. He is a professional poker player and founded School of Cards, the first brick and mortar poker school in the country and is the creator of Beyond Tells, a poker tells training site. He has a graduate degree in psychology and taught psychology at the City University of New York for six years. While he was doing all of that, he also provided consulting services to physicians, practices, and hospitals regarding nonverbal communication and conducted large scale independent research on nonverbal communication. The current pandemic has hamstrung our ability to read nonverbal communication and convey it. We are either behind a mask or a blurry image on a telehealth visit. He teaches us what to prioritize with regards to our own nonverbal cues, how to optimize a telehealth visit, the importance of the cadence and volume of our speech, and cues for recognizing understanding. https://www.schoolofcards.com/ @blakeeastman Size Matters Not: Tiny Habits for Big Changes with BJ Fogg, PhDPublished Aug 12, 2020 This interview is one of my most important. If you are doing to share any of my episodes, this is one that I would implore you to share with your friends, family and colleagues. This is part 1 of 2 of my interviews with BJ Fogg, PhD, author of the book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. We all struggle to change our behaviors, to develop good habits and stop bad habits. There is a lot of popular wisdom about this and most, if not all, is just wrong. This is where Dr. Fogg steps in. Dr. Fogg discovered the keys to changing behavior through changing habits. For those of you on medical school faculty, this should be a class. This should actually be taught in high school. Until then, as physicians, this information is critical, not just for lifestyle changes that can help patients eat better, move more, and smoke less, but even applies to checking their blood pressure and taking their medication. Popular wisdom is wrong. Guilt and shame are destructive. People don’t start habits by feeling badly, they start habits by feeling successful. And we are more likely to be successful by starting a habit that is small, that we actually want to do, and the third key to this is a prompt that reminds you it is time to perform the behavior. If you are going to learn piano, you start with chopsticks. If you are going to start to exercise, you do one sit-up. The smallest increment that you can fall back on when you motivation is waning so you don’t fall off the wagon completely and you keep your habit. And you do it at a point in your day that you can associate with the new behavior, even if they are completely unrelated. You’ll have a reminder that is baked into your day. Dr. Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Dr. Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world and interestingly, the Tiny Habits Academy long preceded the Tiny Habits book. He lives in Northern California and Maui. He can be found at BJFOGG.com and tinyhabits.com When and How to Discuss a Patient's Weight with Stephanie Sogg, PhDPublished Jan 28, 2022 Back for her second appearance is Dr. Stephanie Sogg, a clinical psychologist who has been at the MGH Weight Center since 2003. One our previous episode, we discussed the importance of language when discussing someone’s weight, so on this episode, we talk about when and how to bring it up. We talk about how body acceptance is actually important to sustained weight loss, although on the surface it may seem like a contradiction. We talk about the influence of sleep, mental health, and when it is time to make recommendations, what actually works. As with most things, it is complicated. Dr. Sogg earned her PhD in clinical psychology from Rutgers University in 1998 and completed a post-doctoral fellowship with Harvard Medical School. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Sogg conducts research on obesity and bariatric surgery, and the intersection between obesity and addiction, and has published widely on obesity and related topics. She is an author of the Boston Interview for Bariatric Surgery, and of the official ASMBS Recommendations for the Pre-Surgical Psychosocial Evaluation of Bariatric Surgery Patients. She is the director of the Weight Center rotation for Behavioral Medicine psychology interns and is active in national and international scientific obesity and weight loss surgery societies. Learn to Make Your Patients Laugh with Scott Dikkers of The Onion Published Oct 19, 2021 Last month marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Two weeks after that tragic day, The Onion, the famed comedy newspaper, put out an issue with jokes about 9/11. How did they do that? Scott Dikkers, one of The Onion’s founders teaches us how. His rule is that comedy is meant to “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.” That’s why they put out that issue. To comfort the afflicted. As physicians, that’s what we do! How can we be funny, even in the face of tragedy? Mr. Dikkers teaches comedy writing and has turned what seems unteachable into a science. He has described funny filters and all comedy fits into one of those filters. He teaches us which are the best for the exam room, how to recover from a failed joke, how to work humor into our office visits and lectures, and what jokes comedians can’t use, but we can! Scott Dikkers founded the world’s first humor website, TheOnion.com, in 1996. A few years earlier he helped found the original Onion newspaper. He’s served as The Onion’s owner and editor-in-chief, on and off, for much of the last quarter century. He led The Onion’s rise from small, unknown college humor publication to internationally respected comedy brand. He is also a New York Times best seller, and Peabody Award winner. He documented his process for creating humor in his book, How to Write Funny, and the second in the series, How to Write Funnier, and next on the way, How to Write Funniest, which are the basis of the Writing with The Onion program he created and teaches at The Second City Training Center in Chicago. Scott offers other courses and free resources for comedy writers on the How to Write Funny website. Did ya know…You can also be a guest on our show?

| 27 Aug 2021 | COVID in Kids - How to Assess Risk and Avoid Cognitive Illusions | 00:52:26 | |
Jonathan Howard, MD, is double boarded in Neurology and Psychiatry and as he puts it in his Twitter profile, the author of several non-bestselling neurology textbooks. That’s not why he’s being interviewed. H wrote his own book on fallacy and errors in medicine entitled, Cognitive Errors and Diagnostic Mistakes: A Case-Based Guide to Critical Thinking in Medicine. I keep trying to interview him about the book and he keeps changing the subject! In the last interview, we discussed cognitive biases in vaccine hesitancy and used by antivaxxers and this time we talk about how biases influence how we perceive the danger that covid-19 poses to children. He teaches us about the contrast effect and why it can be used to dangerously minimize the impact of COVID on children, but how we also need to use contrast as a frame of reference when determining risk. Dr. Howard did his residency and fellowship at NYU, where he is now an associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, specializing in Multiple Sclerosis. He is the neurology clerkship director and director of neurology at Bellevue. He can be found on Twitter at @JHowardBrainMD and blog articles on sciencebasedmedicine.org.

| 07 Jan 2022 | Wearing a Hijab in the OR with Deena Kishawi, MD | 00:37:43 | |
Deena Kishawi, MD, is a Chicago-based OBGyn resident physician who is particularly interested in health outcomes that are unique to Middle Easterners and North Africans residing in the United States. With her fluency in the Arabic language, her research with Muslim patients in healthcare, and her work with immigrant, refugee, and first-generation communities in Chicago, she is currently conducting research on these populations and is working towards training and educating healthcare providers about the unique challenges these population face. Dr. Kishawi is Muslim and wears a hijab and keeps her arms covered, so her first experience in the operating room as a medical student was challenging and led to start the blog HijabInTheOR.com. Her aim is to make the OR a safe and respectful place for hijab wearing healthcare providers. We discuss what her experience has been like treating patients wearing a hijab, both the good and the bad. We also discuss some of the basic tenants of Islam with which we should be familiar to best help our patients and our trainees and some issues in our healthcare system that can undermine Muslim patients and potentially impact their care.

| 05 Jul 2022 | Endometriosis and the Bigger Health Picture with Laurence Orbuch, MD | 00:47:51 | |
In today’s episode, you’ll hear two men talking about endometriosis. I recognize the optics of this, but this is a topic I haven’t covered yet, and an important one, so when today’s expert approached the show with the idea to discuss endometriosis, I said absolutely. Dr. Laurence Orbuch completed his training at the New York Hospital Weill Cornell Medical College and SUNY Upstate Medical Center. He served as the Director of Minimally Invasive and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Director of Gynecologic Robotic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital.

He is also the Medical Director of GYN Laparoscopic Associates LA in Beverly Hills, California. In his practice, he specializes in minimally invasive and robotic surgery for the treatment of endometriosis and all benign gynecologic conditions requiring surgical intervention. We talk about the pathophysiology of endometriosis, which was very surprising for me, how it typically presents, as well as some atypical presentations, that make more sense given his explanation for how it occurs. We talk about who is at higher risk, different conditions that may be caused or influenced by endometriosis, some misdiagnoses that may actually be endometriosis, and treatment options.

| 31 Oct 2021 | Motivational Interviewing in the Vaccine Hesitant with Joseph Weiner, MD, Ph.D., Part 2 | 00:29:23 | |
I’m re-releasing this episode because of how critical it is. In my quest to be taught how best to have a fruitful discussion with those hesitant about the vaccine, I interviewed two science communicators, a social engineer, a lawyer, an expert in cognitive biases, and a motivational interview and of all of those, the last one was the most powerful tool for moving the needle on those hesitant to get the vaccine. Motivational interviewing comes from addiction medicine, but using it for vaccine hesitancy actually precedes the COVID pandemic. It is used for new parents who are considering forgoing their newborns' vaccines. Mandates are going to get some to get the vaccine, but for others, a conversation with their trusted physician can be a powerful thing. Dr. Joseph Weiner teaches us how to use it to help our patients with vaccination and other decisions. Dr. Joseph Weiner is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Medicine and Science Education at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where he co-directs the four-year curriculum in Physician-Patient Communication and Interpersonal Skills. Thinking and writing about how patients and clinicians communicate with each other has been a major interest in his career.

Dr. Eksir shares her struggle to balance patient care while spending excessive time on documentation, striving for “A+ notes,” which leaves her exhausted.

He suggests using tools like dot phrases, templates, and visual reminders, such as colored sticky notes, to streamline her workflow. They also explore ways to improve patient communication. Dr. Eksir finds typing during visits impersonal, so Dr. Niazi advises informing patients when she needs to document, ensuring they still feel seen and heard.

How do you connect to your patients and your community? Dr. Block welcomes Bryan Cush, MS, Co-Founder of Tidal, a company that works on helping physicians connect to the right healthcare audience. Learn about how to ask for reviews from your patients, what is the best platform for that, and if you really need to pay attention to your website's SEO. Bryan’s focus on healthcare stems from a decade-long personal crusade. A parent suffering from an undiagnosed illness led him into an often bewildering and even contradictory maze of diagnostic approaches, tests, re-tests, treatments, and re-treatments that took a full ten years to resolve. This experience taught him how intimidated and confused patients and caregivers can feel. And he learned first-hand the stresses and challenges laced throughout the system. As a result, he wants to create systems where patients can more easily identify the right doctor on the first try. He is determined to help people avoid the headaches of the healthcare runaround while helping his clients gain increasing success. Bryan also understands the internal mechanisms of the industry, which allows him to bring value to a range of healthcare-aligned enterprises.

I’ve been considering investing in real estate, but I’m not really motivated enough or interested enough to move forward. My wife and I put some money in a fund of funds, but with all of the fees, there’s not much money being made. Actually, I don’t think there’s any yet. My wife and I were recently at a vacation destination driving distance from our home and got to thinking… could we get a vacation home here? I got to thinking… could we make money from a vacation home here? I started reading books (listening to books) and listening to podcasts and so I decided to have the queen of short-term rentals on the show to answer our questions. Isn’t it more fun to look at vacation homes than apartment buildings? Avery Carl was named one of Wall Street Journal’s Top 100 and Newsweek’s Top 500 agents in 2020.

| 12 Aug 2020 | Size Matters Not: Tiny Habits for Big Changes, Part 1, with BJ Fogg, PhD | 00:37:35 | |
This interview is one of my most important. If you are doing to share any of my episodes, this is one that I would implore you to share with your friends, family and colleagues. This is part 1 of 2 of my interviews with BJ Fogg, PhD, author of the book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. We all struggle to change our behaviors, to develop good habits and stop bad habits. There is a lot of popular wisdom about this and most, if not all, is just wrong. This is where Dr. Fogg steps in. Dr. Fogg discovered the keys to changing behavior through changing habits. For those of you on medical school faculty, this should be a class. This should actually be taught in high school. Until then, as physicians, this information is critical, not just for lifestyle changes that can help patients eat better, move more, and smoke less, but even applies to checking their blood pressure and taking their medication. Popular wisdom is wrong. Guilt and shame are destructive. People don’t start habits by feeling badly, they start habits by feeling successful. And we are more likely to be successful by starting a habit that is small, that we actually want to do, and the third key to this is a prompt that reminds you it is time to perform the behavior. If you are going to learn piano, you start with chopsticks. If you are going to start to exercise, you do one sit-up. The smallest increment that you can fall back on when you motivation is waning so you don’t fall off the wagon completely and you keep your habit. And you do it at a point in your day that you can associate with the new behavior, even if they are completely unrelated. You’ll have a reminder that is baked into your day. Dr. Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Dr. Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world and interestingly, the Tiny Habits Academy long preceded the Tiny Habits book. He lives in Northern California and Maui. This is Part 1. Part 2 will be out next week. He was kind enough to already offer another interview, so if you have any questions, please email them to me at Brad@physiciansguidetodoctoring.com He can be found at BJFOGG.com and tinyhabits.com Visit www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com to connect, dive deeper, and keep the conversation going.

| 26 Oct 2021 | Motivational Interviewing in the Vaccine Hesitant with Joseph Weiner, MD, Ph.D., Part 1 | 00:49:08 | |
I’m re-releasing this episode because of how critical it is. In my quest to be taught how best to have a fruitful discussion with those hesitant about the vaccine, I interviewed two science communicators, a social engineer, a lawyer, an expert in cognitive biases, and a motivational interview and of all of those, the last one was the most powerful tool for moving the needle on those hesitant to get the vaccine. Motivational interviewing comes from addiction medicine, but using it for vaccine hesitancy actually precedes the COVID pandemic. It is used for new parents who are considering forgoing their newborns' vaccines. Mandates are going to get some to get the vaccine, but for others, a conversation with their trusted physician can be a powerful thing. Dr. Joseph Weiner teaches us how to use it to help our patients with vaccination and other decisions. Dr. Joseph Weiner is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Medicine and Science Education at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where he co-directs the four-year curriculum in Physician-Patient Communication and Interpersonal Skills. Thinking and writing about how patients and clinicians communicate with each other has been a major interest in his career.

| 04 Jun 2020 | Episode Rerelease: Discussing Flipping the Script on Health Disparities with Max Jordan Nguemeni Tiako | 00:48:06 | |
This is a flashpoint in our nation’s history and our positions as physicians endow us with a certain amount of respect and authority and with that authority comes responsibility. Responsibility to have difficult conversations. It is not uncommon for us to have difficult conversations, like breaking bad news, discussing an adverse health outcome, but these conversations are about others. We need to have difficult conversations about ourselves. We need to reflect on our own biases and how these can affect the health outcomes of our minority patients and career trajectories of our minority colleagues. In light of current events, I have chosen to rerelease episodes from earlier this year that should be thought provoking and allow us to reflect on the ivory tower, conservative institution that is medicine and how we can help to move the needle to improve health outcomes for our minority patients and the careers of our minority colleagues. One way to improve the former, is to improve the latter. Max Jordan Nguemeni Tiako is a 5th year med student (out of 5) at the Yale School of Medicine and hosts his own podcast, Flip the Script, about healthcare disparities. He starts out discussing how some of what we learn about race being a risk factor for some diseases are a product of social constructs, not genetic predisposition. We then discuss racial disparities in substance-use disorder treatment. We then pivot from health disparities to physician training disparities. We learn about the hardships faced by minority medical students from microaggressions from students and faculty to disparities in grading and how this can affect career trajectory. He ends by discussing some pearls he has learned from his own podcast. Mr. Tiako grew up in Yaounde, Cameroon, and moved to the US to attend Howard University, got a BS in in civil and environmental engineering and then a Masters in Bioengineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is currently doing research connecting his civil/environmental engineering background to identify elements of urban design that can be leveraged to improve health outcomes and move the needle towards health equity. His research fellowship is at the Center for Emergency Care & Policy research at the University of Pennsylvania. He spends his free time writing about racism and medical education in the medical student magazine InTraining.

| 25 Mar 2020 | What Can Victorian Literature Teach Us About Coronavirus/ COVID-19? | 00:35:43 | |
What can an English professor with expertise in Victorian Literature teach us about the coronavirus? Germ theory became popularized during that era, so this is when people realized that we were the vectors of our own illnesses. One would think that this would cause us to isolate ourselves from one another, like we are doing now, but the literature of the time, which reflects the thinking of the time, shows us that it brought us closer together. A message of hope in these dire times. Dr. Kari Nixon is an assistant professor of English at Whitworth University. She teaches medical humanities, Victorian literature, and is forever interested in death, disease, risk, and why we fear them. Dr. Nixon’s work has been shared on Huffington Post, March for Science, and more.

| 23 Feb 2021 | Motivational Interviewing for Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy with Joseph Weiner, MD, PhD | 01:22:08 | |
Dr. Joseph Weiner is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Medicine and Science Education at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where he co-directs the four-year curriculum in Physician-Patient Communication and Interpersonal Skills. Thinking and writing about how patients and clinicians communicate with each other has been a major interest in his career. He teaches us today about something I’ve been wanting to learn about for a long time. The tagline of this show is “everything we should have been learning while we were memorizing Kreb’s cycle.” This doesn’t hold true for this episode because Dr. Weiner teaches motivational interviewing to medical students; it just wasn’t being taught when I was there. We go over the basics of motivational interviewing, its origins, the spirit of it, how to go about it and then we discuss how it can be used to have a productive conversation about the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. I haven’t had training in it, but I’ve used it already and it WORKS! You can’t use it to get someone to do something they don’t already want to do, but it helps them clarify their thoughts and hesitations and, using BJ Fogg’s language, either get closer to or over the action line. Dr. Weiner received his M.D. and his Ph.D. in Physiology and Biophysics from New York University. He did residency training in psychiatry at NYU/Bellevue and a fellowship in public psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Start today, with just $5K, at equitymultiple.com _______ "Have you ever hesitated to ask for what you truly want because of a fear of rejection or judgment?" In this episode, Dr. Kristine Goins interviews Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson, who reveals how the simple act of asking can unlock greater freedom, confidence, and fulfillment. Dr. Toya explains that, despite medical culture often stigmatizing self-advocacy, asking is not just a negotiation skill but a life-changing habit that aligns personal and professional values.
Bio Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson, affectionately known as Dr. Toya on social media, is a wife, mother, board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist, perinatal mental health specialist, and Coach. Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, she moved to the United States where she went on to earn both her Bachelor and Medical Degrees from Howard University in an accelerated 6-year BS/MD program. She completed her residency training at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia and has lived in Northern California since. After caring for pregnant and postpartum women as an OBGYN for more than a decade, she now focuses on the unique needs of physician moms who rarely feel supported as they navigate caring for their babies, a new identity, and the ongoing intensity of clinical medicine. Dr. Toya helps Physician Moms set up systems, navigate complications, advocate for themselves in both personal and professional contexts, so they can feel good about themselves, with confidence and joy. She spreads her message of self-love and self-care on her podcast, Stethoscopes and Strollers.

| 01 Feb 2023 | Climate Change and Medicine: How to Prepare with Caitlin Rublee, MD, MPH | 00:44:24 | |
Caitlin Rublee, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado. She serves as Director of Graduate Medical Education with the Climate and Health Program through the School of Medicine and Assistant Fellowship Director for the Climate and Health Science Policy Fellowship. So what you think we’ll be talking about today. That’s right. Climate change and its impact on the practice of medicine. We talk about what she is hoarding in her bunker with the coming societal collapse from climate change. Actually, she is a lot more hopeful than me, which is clearly reflected in our discussion, so we talk about what gives her hope. That being said, we need to be prepared, so we talk about what she should expect, like more mosquito borne illnesses, climate refugees, more issues with supply chains causing us to practice with scarcity. We also talk about why climate change is a social justice issue and what we can do if this conversation terrifies or inspires you. Probably a bit of both. She is the 2022-2024 American Board of Emergency Medicine National Academy of Medicine Fellow. Dr. Rublee received a MD/MPH dual degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. She completed residency in Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University followed by a one-year Climate and Health Science Policy Fellowship at the University of Colorado.

Dr. Ramey had a pretty negative experience buying his first home as a med student, so he took matters into his own hands. His wife got her real estate license, he got his, and how he helps med students, residents, and attendings around the country buy homes. He walks us through the entire process from tip to tail, and we discuss for whom a physician loan would be appropriate, the advantages and disadvantages of such a loan, as well as the other types of loans available. He also has an extremely comprehensive website with sources for physician loans as well as ways to earn extra income as a physician. https://drmoves.com/ Visit www.physiciansguidetodoctoring.com to connect, dive deeper, and keep the conversation going.

| 27 Aug 2020 | Doctor, You've Been Served (Not in a Dance-Off), Part 1, with Gita Pensa, MD | 00:39:06 | |
Dr. Gita Pensa is an Associate Professor with the Brown University Emergency Medicine Residency. She joined Brown's academic faculty in 2014, after thirteen years in community emergency medicine practice. In 2015, she launched Brown EM's educational blog as well as the Brown EM podcast series. She created and serves as host/editor of AEM Early Access, a collaborative podcasting project from the Academic Emergency Medicine journal and the Brown EM residency. Dr. Pensa is Associate Director of Brown's Emergency Digital Health Innovation program, and co-developed Brown's new Digital Health and Innovation fellowship program. We start out discussing her decade long lawsuit and how this affected her psyche, her practice, and her marriage. Victor Frankl would be proud as she turned her tumultuous experience into a way to help others through an extremely well executed, engaging, and educational podcast, "Doctors and Litigation: The L Word". It is a narrative-style series about the psychological and practical preparation for malpractice litigation, and she speaks nationally on the topic of malpractice litigation. We talk about whether we’d be willing to be friends with a personal injury attorney and her answer was surprising. However, expert witnesses are a different story. Unfounded lawsuits couldn’t happen without them, and they are supposedly one of us. If you are named in a lawsuit, we discuss all the players and how to comport yourself to improve your outcome. Theatrics often trump the medicine in this situation.
