Aromatherapy is lovely. Essential oils are powerful medicine. Same plants…same products…different uses. Peppermint may make a lovely cup of tea, but when used in higher concentrations, it is highly effective at treating irritable bowel syndrome…and when combined with a carrier oil and massaged into your skin, it stops a headache—fast. Lemonbalm massaged into the hands can calm people who are suffering from anxiety and agitation. And rosemary helps improve memory and concentration. The key is understanding how to use them and what not to do, because when misused, even these common and “delicious” scents can cause serious harm. In this edition of The Bottom Line Advocator, Dr. Joseph Feuerstein joins Sarah Hiner to explain the way he uses essential oils in his clinical practice to treat challenging ailments including antibiotic-resistant respiratory infections, antibiotic-resistant skin infections and assorted mood disorders.

So we turned the equipment back on… Listen in as they discuss a trend among women in the workplace that Dr. Goulston has defined as anticipatory pushback—women anticipate that what they say will be negatively received so they tense up…their voices becomes pitchy and shrill…and they inadvertently end up in a low power position. When it comes to a working environment, are women afraid to speak up? Do they feel isolated in the workplace? Listen in as Sarah and Dr. Goulston discuss this and other topics, including falling to victimhood…the link between impatience and our problems as a society…fearful aggression…and compassion.

With opioids like morphine, Vicodin, Oxycontin and fentanyl contributing to “the worst drug epidemic in modern American history,” Bob Stutman, former head of the DEA’s New York office, was stunned when the FDA approved a new drug called Dsuvia, an opioid 1,000 times stronger than morphine…100 times stronger than heroin…and 10 times stronger than fentanyl. So why did the FDA approve it? How will it be used? And how will it affect our society? According to Bob, even though the FDA says that it won’t, “This is going to become available on the streets very quickly, and it makes heroin look like a kiddie drug.” Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner gets all the details from Bob in this episode of the Bottom Line Advocator Podcast.

In this episode of the Bottom Line Advocator Podcast, Erica joins Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner to discuss and expand on her recently published op-ed for The Wall Street Journal titled “We’re Overmedicating Our Children.” Erica wrote the piece after witnessing the dramatic increase in medicating children for emotional problems (stress response, family issues, trauma, or pressure to achieve).

How’d we get to this point? And what can we do about it? Listen in as Sarah and Erica get to the bottom of it.
Mitchell Yass, DPT, is creator of The Yass Method, which uniquely diagnoses and treats the cause of chronic pain by looking at the source of pain and following its trail from where it hurts to where it starts. It’s all angles and connections. Dr. Yass’s research and patient experience has found that the conventional method of diagnosing through X-ray and MRI is “baseless and useless.” Over his 20 + years of practice, he has resolved the pain of thousands who had surgery that didn’t fix their pain and stopped thousands of others from getting unnecessary surgeries or using unnecessary and dangerous medications. In this episode of the Bottom Line Advocator Podcast, Dr. Yass joins Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner to discuss the wasted time and money the medical system uses to diagnose and treat pain and how you can resolve your own pain with the Yass Method of identifying the source of the pain and strengthening that area with simple targeted exercises.

In addition, they walk through some of the mistreatments and misconceptions regarding knee pain, back surgeries and hip problems—and outline the proper and safe way to locate, diagnose and treat them.

In this episode of The Bottom Line Advocator Podcast, Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner is joined by Suzann (“Suzie”) Pileggi Pawelski, who specializes in the science of happiness and its effects on relationships and health to discuss why it’s so hard for people to accept compliments. Suzie, who has a Masters of Applied Positive Psychology degree from University of Pennsylvania, and is co-author of Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts, has found that people typically respond to positive feedback in one of three unhealthy ways—deflection (brushing it off)…reciprocation (repaying the compliment as quickly as possible)…and discounting (providing reasons why the compliment isn’t really deserved). By not accepting a compliment properly, people are missing out on a level of connection with others— as well as the emotional and physical health benefits that comes with being acknowledged. Listen in as Suzie and Sarah look at this curious aspect of human behavior, discuss how it impacts relationships and detail the ways in which we can receive gratitude and compliments in a positive and healthy way.

It can lead to a variety of health issues beyond backaches and headaches. It can cause problems with concentration, poor digestion and even an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Beyond the physical dangers, poor posture affects you at a cellular level—it directly correlates with your mood and affects your mind, your words, and your energy.

There’s a long-running fascination with protein. We’ve been told that it belongs in every meal…that it promotes fat loss…increases muscle mass and strength…helps bone density…the list goes on and on. Whether it’s meat, fish, poultry or protein shakes, the golden rule is to get your protein in no matter what. Here’s the problem—Americans are overdosing on protein and, according to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, too much of the wrong protein (animal protein) causes cancer and cardiovascular disease and can lead to an early death. The right protein (plant based), on the other hand, is packed with nutrients and can help you live longer. Listen in as Dr. Fuhrman and Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner discuss the proper, safe way to include protein in your diet. Be sure to check out The Bottom Line Advocator podcast on Apple Podcasts!

Dr. Michael Breus, clinical psychologist and Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, has been practicing sleep medicine for more than 20 years.

This is a form of anxiety, and it’s never been more prevalent than it is today.

The current drug epidemic is not happening in the dark alleys with society’s outcasts playing the featured role, as has happened in the past. Today’s addicts are good kids and good neighbors. Kids are being exposed to drugs at an alarmingly high rate, and according to Bob Stutman, former head of the DEA’s New York office, parents have never been more oblivious to and naïve about what’s really going on. In this episode, Bob joins Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner to chronicle where and how kids are being subjected to drugs. In almost every case, it’s not the local drug dealer…it’s a brother, sister, cousin or best friend. It’s somebody who they love and respect.

Bob Stutman, former head of the DEA’s New York office and currently one of the nation’s top experts on drug usage, was once told by a doctor, “The day I got out of my residency, I was no longer a physician…I was a business man.” This may not be true of every doctor, but it shines a light on one of the larger issues contributing to the worst drug epidemic in modern history—the pressure on doctors to treat patients with prescription pads rather than with safer, cheaper alternatives. In this podcast, Bob discusses this cultural shift and its implications with Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner. Our tendency to treat every ache and pain with a pill has gone too far, and with Big Pharma in control, it falls on us to educate ourselves and ask the questions—why is this still happening…and what steps can we take to shift the culture away from drug dependence and bring an end to the opioid crisis? As Bob says in this podcast, “It’s far more than a drug epidemic…it’s a culture-changing epidemic.” For more information, check out Bob Stutman’s website, https://thestutmanswitalskigroup.com.

Three-quarters of patients today are cared for by a group of rotating “hospitalists”—not their own doctors. This system may be good for hospitals, but it is not providing the best quality of care for patients, according to a study by Harvard researchers. In this edition of the Bottom Line Advocator, Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner and Dr. David Sherer, author of Dr. David Sherer’s Hospital Survival Guide discuss the pros and cons of hospitalist medicine. As patients, we can’t control the system, but with the right knowledge, we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from inadequate care and medical error. They discuss the most important questions to ask when admitted to a hospital…the common trend known as “Physician burnout”…and all the red flags to look out for. In addition, Dr. Sherer shares a method he recommends to all of his patients when it comes to preparing for a hospital stay.

Several opioid-based drugs are critical components on surgical anesthesia and post-surgical care—yet there is a major shortage of these drugs at hospitals. Implication? Patients are at risk during surgery or at risk of having their surgeries delayed. In this edition of the Bottom Line Advocator, anesthesiologist, and winner of Health Tap’s leading anesthesiologist award, Dr. David Sherer discusses with Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner how this shortage began… how everyone from cancer patients to people with chronic pain are now suffering…and what to expect going forward. Other questions explored—are doctors too quick to use opioids even after surgery? How are the substitute drugs putting patients at risk? What should patients be asking their doctors when they are planning their surgery? All of those questions answered and more in this edition of the Bottom Line Advocator.

In today’s culture of looking for immediate results and answers to medical problems, doctors often turn to prednisone, a synthetic form of the hormone cortisol prescribed to relieve a vast array of inflammatory and allergic conditions. While there is a place for prednisone, the drug is being overprescribed at an alarming rate, putting patients at risk for dangerous side effects while rarely solving the underlying problem. In this edition of the Bottom Line Advocator, Bottom Line CEO Sarah Hiner and Dr. David Sherer shine a light on this frightening trend that no one seems to be talking about. Listen in as Dr. Sherer shares what you need to know about how prednisone is not only overprescribed, but misused and misunderstood. In addition, Sarah and Dr. Sherer share their own personal stories about taking prednisone—stories that will change your trust in one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the US. The next time your doctor suggests that you start taking prednisone, ask these questions recommended by Dr. Sherer. All of that explored, and more, in this edition of the Bottom Line Advocator.
