Trends that will impact how medical practice executives manage their businesses going forward.   ###   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our podcast guest, Carolyn Boldt, VP/Director of Design at CrossFields Interiors and Architecture   In 2004, Carolyn and her husband co-founded CrossFields as a design-build firm in Atlanta, and in 2011 they changed their focus to improving the public’s perception of alternative medicine, and highlighting the power of holistic healthcare. CrossFields has helped hundreds of practitioners across the country expand their practices and reach higher levels of success by maximizing space, attracting and retaining patients, and saving money.   Carolyn’s love for design comes from her understanding that people’s productivity and attitudes are significantly impacted by their surroundings. This drive started in her early teens when she had the unique opportunity to work with her father, an engineer at NASA, on the early preliminary design of the US space station. With this as the fuel, she received her Bachelor’s with Honors in Interior Design at the University of Texas in 1980.   Through her unique career path, Carolyn has gained complete understanding of every aspect of the commercial interior built industry. Her experience includes turnkey interior architectural design, creative impact statements for retail, hospitality and corporate, graphic identity packages, facility standards and master plans, as well as complete facility start-ups and relocation management, and green sustainable design. She is a professional member of IIDA, NCIDQ, a Registered Interior Designer and LEED AP.   EMAIL: cboldt@crossfieldsinc.com Web Site: crossfieldsdesign.com/leadership   Topics Discussed In This Podcast Include:   The ROI of updating and investing in your office design How owning vs leasing your space will guide your decision making The role of design in team efficiency and client retention How the design of your office impacts your success   Questions We Address In This Podcast Include:   Why is your office your biggest marketing expense? Is my office environment impacting my success? How often do you need to update and freshen up your space? What five things should you look for when evaluating your office space?   Scott & Carolyn’s passion for the holistic approach of Chiropractic came from their personal experience with the healing of their daughter. At just two years of age, the pediatrician’s advice was to have tonsils removed due to chronic tonsillitis. Fortunately, instead they found Chiropractic and over 25+ years later their daughter is vitally healthy and still has her tonsils!   Carolyn is personally passionate about holistic health and wellness, and an outspoken advocate that the environment of your space impacts your success. With over 40 years of experience in the commercial interior industry, she holds a BS in Interior Architectural Design from University of Texas at Austin, is NCIDQ Certified, a Registered Designer, a LEED AP, and Professional Member of IIDA/International Interior Design Association. Carolyn loves to spend her time with her 8 wonderful grandchildren, involvement in church and community activities, traveling, and boating on the lake with her husband.   ###   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our podcast guest, Editor/Author of Concierge Medicine Today   According to a February 27, 2023 article in TIME written by Jamie Ducharme just last year in a story titled Long Waits, Short Appointments, Huge Bills: U.S. Health Care Is Causing Patient Burnout she noted ... Part of the problem may go back to the way doctors are trained, says Jennifer Taber, an associate professor of psychological sciences at Kent State University and a co-author of the 2015 study on doctor avoidance. U.S. medical schools do an excellent job of teaching students how to practice medicine. But, she argues, they aren’t always as good at preparing students to be doctors, with all the interpersonal complexity that entails. “Patients won’t necessarily want to go back to doctors they don’t like,” she says. Even small gestures, like making eye contact with or leaning toward a patient as they speak, can help build a strong rapport, Taber says.[1]   References/Citations   https://time.com/6257775/patient-burnout-health-care/   ###   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our (replay) Good Friday CMT podcast guest this 2024 Good Friday is with our good friend, Dr. Bailey.    A Concierge Medicine Physician and a man of faith. Dr. Bailey has spent the past 45 years in the medical field and has seen the role of family medicine diminish significantly, to the detriment of the patients and their health.   While our discussion today isn't necessarily a message about the events of Easter, the events of Easter are still relevant today than ever because on this week, something happened FOR the world. There was a mark left on this world that many believe happened 2,000 years ago.   I think this message from Dr. Bailey from the archive of Concierge Medicine Today's podcast vault is relevant FOR Doctors because you love people who are difficult to love every day. You talk to, treat with compassion and kindness people who are nothing like you and who may never like you back. You give them hope for the future. If you're a person of faith, on this week, you and I have enter a story that makes no sense to this world. Yet, there's evidence that we have stepped into a Kingdom that has a King who chose to give his life and who is worthy of his name.   LEARN MORE ABOUT DR. BAILEY at: baileyfamilymedicalcare.com   We hope you find this message, this moment and the prayer FOR Doctors timely and relevant to your own career and journey into patient care. We certainly all need to pray and better support the Doctors, Nurses, PAs and the like better in our world. And what better message is there than the events of Easter that changed the world 2,000 years ago.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our special podcast guest today is Estelle Giraud, the Co-Founder and CEO at Trellis Health.    "Our goal is to empower the next generation of parents to take ownership of their family's health. We want to help new parents feel confident and capable when taking on the job of managing the health of their entire family, and build a platform that will ease the minds of new parents everywhere." ~Estelle Giraud, the Co-Founder and CEO at Trellis Health.    In today's podcast, we unpack:   Curated, educational tools that provide guidance and confidence as mothers and families navigate their maternal health journey. Venture Capital Challenges Among Female Entrepreneurs In Healthcare Protecting Private Patient Information Challenges Faced By Female Entreprenuers Taking back personal agency in pre and postnatal healthcare   "I'm a founder passionate about human health and I'm also a new mother," said Estelle. "My experience was pretty intense but not uncommon; including IVF, an emergency C-section, prenatal hypertension, postpartum preeclampsia and medication incompatibilities. I had to monitor my blood pressure multiple times a day, track symptoms, maintain a complex medication schedule, stay on top of a calendar full of appointments and reminders, and had a multitude of genetic and blood tests. There were so many apps and tools out there that would tell me the size of my baby, what carrier was best, or what milestones they were reaching in utero, but there was nothing to really help me manage my own health. And while my care team was fantastic - my information was so siloed it created inevitable gaps in my care. I've moved several times and seen many different physicians both before and during my pregnancy, and the lack of continuity left me feeling anxious and frustrated. I felt I had to stay on top of my own care and information or it would slip through the cracks... my baby and I would slip through the cracks."   Trellis Health is a one stop shop for navigating pregnancy and beginning of life care. When starting or growing a family, navigating the siloed complexities of necessary medical care adds stress and frustration to a new parent's already full plate. Trellis Health is here to create lasting change and reframe the way pregnant moms take control of their care. As a new mother herself, Estelle is especially focused on personalizing medical care to the individual and ensuring no new mothers (or babies!) slip through the cracks.   "I spoke with dozens of women, and discovered that my experiences were not unique; quite the opposite," notes Estelle. "Frustration, concerns around maternal health risks, missed information leading to avoidable mistakes, it was all a common burden of responsibility for these women. I believe we can fill some of these gaps and ease the "pregnancy health load" with a secure, private health data system and some very simple digital tools that allow your health data to work for you in a meaningful way. This is one of the most important health journeys of your life, building a human. We have to do a better job at supporting women through this."   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our podcast guest, Dr Anuj Chaturvedi Medical Director & Family Doctor, HealthClic, London, England   "Medicine is personal, there is no one-size fits all. Hence, it is no surprise many leaders choose concierge doctors to look after themselves and their families" ~Priyanka Chaturvedi, Managing Director, HealthClic, London, England UK   LEARN MORE, https://healthclic.co.uk LISTEN TO FULL PODCAST EPISODE HERE   Dr Anuj Chaturvedi has been a doctor for over 30 years, and is our Medical Director. Highly popular with his patients, he is focused on personalised medicine, and is also a Specialist GP Advisor to the Care Quality Commission.   Dr Chaturvedi personally interviews each GP who joins HealthClic and strives for a team of HealthClic Doctors who are fit for “global standard”. He also carefully approves preventative health protocols for our members. Furthermore, he is a current GP Trainer and Appraiser, and is involved in the recruitment process for GPs with The London Deanery. Dr Chaturvedi has spent many years working in the NHS at Partner Level, holding Membership with the Royal College of General Practitioners.

His main specialties cover radiology, general surgery (with background in renal transplant) and preventive medicine along with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.   The HealthClic Ethos One of the biggest challenges when managing health is knowing what to prevent; and which are your biggest risks. As a leader upon whom many rely on, the consequences of a health crisis could be catastrophic for family, an organisation or even an industry. This is where our area of expertise delivers, as we simply cannot afford to be reactive when it comes to the care of our patients. While our focus is preventative medicine, we also take on some of the most complex cases in the country, often requiring intervention by global experts.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our podcast guest is the Editor/Author of Concierge Medicine Today   Nearly every Physician fights a gladiator-like battle every single week. And come Monday morning when you enter that arena you must mentally and physically prepare. The Sunday Scaries doesn't have to intimidate you, scare you or overwhelm you. It's time we talk about it in the open and make it well, not so scary ... anymore. The Cleveland Clinic defines Sunday Scaries as "feelings of intense anxiety and dread that routinely occur every Sunday."1   CNN Health even wrote a story entitled How to ward off the ‘Sunday scaries’ before the new week begins. Written by Jolanta Burke at the Centre for Positive Psychology and Health, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences she writes, For many people, the Sunday scaries also happen due to the work they left behind on Friday evening. The anticipation of the next day, the work you might have to do and all the emails you’ll need to catch up on can cause anxiety. But working through the weekend isn’t the answer either – and could actually leave your mental health worse off. [2] (Source/Credit: CNN Health; Published 8:02 AM EDT, Sun August 14, 2022)   On today's podcast we talk about what it means, ways to reduce anxiety[3], ideas Physicians can use to wrestle with this topic and more. Maybe your Sunday is on Wednesday afternoon, depending on your hectic schedule. Whatever the day may bring, the Sunday blues, the Sunday Scaries ... it's contributing to Physician burnout and we need to talk about it so it's not quite so scary anymore.   Why?   Nearly every Physician fights a gladiator-like battle every single week. And come Monday morning when you enter that arena you must mentally and physically prepare. The Sunday Scaries doesn't have to intimidate you, scare you or overwhelm you. It's time we talk about it in the open and make it well, not so scary ... anymore.     © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
