ACU-046 How To Build A Company Everyone Loves with Co-CEO of Jane, Alison Taylor

Episode 46

Tuesday, December 20, 2022 • Duration 01:13:09

Listen in as I talk with Ali about how to create a company that when customers tell other people about it, they don’t say they “like” it. They say they “love” it.

I think one of the toughest things about designing your future upon graduation is actually taking the time to do it.

Especially after 3-4 years of no money coming in.

Especially when the people around you seem to have a plan.

Especially when you have had such focus on education and learning that you have lost touch with that person in the mirror.

Perhaps you have no idea what you want in your immediate future. Or even 5 year future.

But here’s the thing. That is exactly why you should take the time to explore.

To ask yourself the tough questions. What DO you like? Those favorite patients you treated in student clinic? What made them so likeable? Are those traits or characteristics something you want to see more in your practice?

What cases, treatments, modalities, and classes light you up from the inside? What do you find yourself talking about with regards to Chinese medicine?

If you do the work in the beginning, if you envision the feel, the experience and the soul of your practice, it will act as a magnet for those defined elements that bring you joy. You will be creating an experience for your patients that no other practitioner can.

Case Study: Orthopedic Acupuncture Instead of A Total Shoulder Replacement with Anthony Von der Muhll, DAOM

Is it possible to avoid or postpone orthopedic surgery with acupuncture?Can you help patients with extensive soft tissue damage regain full range of motion and strength?Yes. Yes you can! Listen in as Anthony walks me through a case where he helps his patient avoid a total shoulder replacement.In this episode….

ACU-045 I remember treating a case during my internship where after a couple orthopedic tests I suspected that my patient had torn his meniscus. It was a great opportunity to practice my new set of advanced orthopedic skills and my patient responded well, but after a couple of weeks he had pain again. Unfortunately, I did not get to see the treatments through because the semester ended, but I have wondered how it might have concluded many many times. Can you really treat a patient with substantial soft tissue damage that would otherwise require surgery? Can you treat in a way that facilitates the body’s healing mechanisms so much that the patient achieves pain free normal range of motion? Does the structure damage change or is someone just miraculously free of pain?

In this episode Dr.Anthony Von der Muhll, DAOM walks me through a pretty unbelievable case of exactly that.

You don’t want to miss this episode!

this episode is a little long, so here are some rough time jumps for you

3:45 I introduce Anthony and we talk about his path to becoming an East Asian Medical Practitioner.
10:45 Anthony talks about what distinguishes him from other practitioners like Matt Callison, Poney Chang, Clayton Shui and Whitfield Reeves.

ACU-044 New Acupuncturist Megan Neal On Starting A Family And A Medical Practice At The Same Time

Episode 44

Tuesday, November 22, 2022 • Duration 01:03:58

Are you a new parent AND graduate? Trying to pass your boards in your last trimester and start a practice with a newborn?

In this episode I talk with Megan Neal as she navigates these GIANT life transitions and how she is SO ready to practice medicine!

As I see it, there is rarely a perfect time for anything. When is the perfect time to go to medical school? What about starting a family? When should you start working on your Doctoral degree? Or maybe it’s time to start taking better care of yourself.

What I have learned is that life just keeps getting fuller and fuller as you age. If there is a space in my closet I will fill it. If there is free time in my schedule, I will find ways of putting “more doing” in there.

What ever happened to slowly and gently building something of value? Of mindfully constructing the life we were born worthy of? Of gently inviting the blissful whispers of our dreams to slowly unfurl in our waking life.

Our fears of not having enough, not being enough and not doing enough cause us to race into jobs, relationships and life in ways that only cause congestion in our otherwise smooth and clear life path.

Our medicine is what I like to call slow medicine. It works best when we slow our lives down and focus only on the patient in front of us. It works best when the patient relaxes their grip on the speeding train of life for one hour of slow breathing, genuine care gently shifting the scales of life force back in their favor.

I want to invite you to consider practicing slow medicine. For yourself and your patients.

MEGAN NEAL LAC.

Megan Neal dedicated her life to the study of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine after transformational experiences with it in her late twenties. At the same time in her life, she encountered yoga, Ashtanga yoga and then Integral Yoga, and has been walking the path ever since. Today Megan is an Arizona state licensed Acupuncturist, board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, NCCAOM, She is also Arizona state certified by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, CCAOM, in Clean Needle Technique. Upon graduating from her three year masters program, her and her husband had a beautiful baby boy. She was fortunate to use what she had learned to care for herself in the journey to motherhood. She was thus inspired to specialize in women’s health- fertility, pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum care. She has no spare time but if she did, she imagines she would again enjoy writing morning pages, finding hidden pools on Mt. Lemmon, playing the harmonium, five rhythms dance, and continuing to nerd out with her collection of Chinese Medicine books.

ACU-043 Case Study: A Classical Chinese Medical Herbal Case Study with Phil Settels DAOM, of ACCHS

Episode 43

Tuesday, November 8, 2022 • Duration 01:01:46

In This Episode..

ACU-041 In this episode I meet with Phil Settels the Dean and creator of the DAOM program at ACCHS, the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences. We decided to bring the long held tradition of teaching thru case studies to the AcuSprout airwaves.

Enjoy the journey and get a flavor for the teachings of the DAOM program at ACCHS.

today’s guestPHIL SETTELS, DAOM, Dean of Academics at ACCHS

Phil Settels graduated from ACCHS in 2011. Early on in his engagement with Chinese Medicine, Phil had the opportunity to study with several amazing Shanghan Lun teachers, including Dr. Arnaud Verluys, Dr. Huang Huang and Dr. Suzanne Robidoux. Phil uses Classical Formulas almost exclusively in his own practice and in his teaching.

Phil was brought in to design the curriculum of the ACCHS DAOM program which started in 2017, and he is currently the Dean of Academics. This program was guided by the ideal of what would best serve clinicians while honoring both the roots of the medicine and its development over time, and empowering graduates to be stewards of Chinese Medicine. The program has a dual focus on Classical Chinese Herbalism as well as Orthopedics and Pain Management, with the goal that graduates have increased skill and confidence to treat any patient who walks through their door, whether their condition reflects an internal or a musculoskeletal dysfunction.

ACU-042 Employee or Independent Contractor? What's an Acupuncturist to do?

Episode 42

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 • Duration 29:18

Employee or Independent Contractor? What's an Acupuncturist to do?

Oct 26

Are you a new Acupuncturist? Were you just offered an amazing JOB, to be brought on as an Associate? Was the offer an independent contractor position? Watch out! It’s probably not as great as it looks.Listen in as I explain why.

ACU-042 Okay, so you've graduated and now you have to decide what's next. Maybe you already know where and who you're gonna work for, or where your clinic's gonna open, or who your ideal patient is, and maybe even what your treatment focus will be, but. I doubt it because life doesn't really work that way for most of us, and in my experience working with and supporting new practitioners, you don't really know what's next upon graduation.

Life gets jumbled again. You relocate, you have babies, you get divorced, you interview for jobs, you work for other acupuncturists, you share space and or you start your own business, et cetera, et cetera. But here's the truth. The snapshot taken five years after your initial career choice after your initial start as an acupuncturist is typically radically different.

So what you thought you wanted changed the location where you started no longer suits you. You worked for three practitioners before you found a clinic that resonates with your treatment style and goals. You thought you wanted to treat women's health challenges only to find out that hospice is where you truly belong.

I wanna tell you a little secret. It's okay, . It's supposed to happen. Just as it happens. You aren't doing it wrong and you aren't failing. You did some serious growth in school. We went in as like, I'm gonna be super cheesy here for a second, but you went in as a caterpillar and now you're about to fly.

Seriously. Now think about this. Think about how much you have changed from the beginning of school to where you are now. And I know that this is super cheesy, but serious. Take some time to get used to those wings, like take your time and be gentle with the new version of you. If Chinese medicine teaches us anything, it's that everything has cycles and so does your career.

You're going to have to learn to grow into your practice, and it's okay to change directions, and it's okay to change your mind about things as your experience levels change.

ACU-041 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: A Conversation About How To Expand Your Thinking And Create An Inclusive Healthcare Clinic, with Kiki Toth of Jane

Episode 41

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 • Duration 55:21

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in your medical practice starts with YOU.

The willingness and courage to have uncomfortable conversations so that your clinic stands on ethical ground starts with doing your own internal work. To sort thru your own programming and call yourself out to become a better human and practitioner is the first step to building a safe and inclusive clinic and becoming aware of how much hidden bias affects healthcare and treatment outcomes.

I don’t think any of us would ever intentionally do something in clinic or elsewhere that would diminish another person, but bias in healthcare is a very big detriment.

I was very uncomfortable in this interview, and with good reason! I was ignorant. I was hiking into unknown territory with a moral compass, but no map. I am really grateful to have had such a generous and kind tour guide in Kiki to start my journey.

Today’s GuestKiki Toth, Product and DEI Specialist at Jane

Hi! My name is Kiki and I'm a Product and DEI Specialist here at Jane. I've worked in a few areas at Jane since starting in March 2020, including Support helping out our customers and as a Learning and Development Associate guiding our newbies through the beginning of their journey here at Jane. Throughout all of my work, DEI has been one of the most passionate aspects of my role. I hope to inspire others to actively work on creating an inclusive and equitable work environment for everyone. We all walk through the door with our own story and my purpose is to highlight these stories and empower marginalized communities.

In This Episode We Discuss:

What DEI means.
Why having conversations around DEI is uncomfortable for most people.
What to consider in your clinical practice.
How we might be blinded about our own biases.
Where to start learning about how to be a better and more informed person.

ACU-040 Should A New Acupuncturist Start A Podcast? with Michael Max LAc.

Episode 40

Thursday, September 29, 2022 • Duration 24:24

Are you a new Acupuncturist who wants to start a podcast?

Success is not a straight line. It is a succession of failed experiments, hard work, strong networks, support systems, timing and happy mistakes.

In this episode, on a random Sunday afternoon while testing new recording software a great little happy mistake of a podcast episode is born. I invite my Grumpy Uncle, Michael Max onto a mock podcast just to fill some airtime that I can later tinker with, but it was too good to not share.

Today’s GuestMICHAEL MAX LAC.

I’ve been a student of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for going on 20 years now. It began as a curiosity as to how a few needles could not only resolve a stubborn health condition I’d had since childhood, but also improve my digestion, quality of sleep and mood. This lead me first to acupuncture school, and then Asia where I worked my way through the gate of Chinese language so I could study with doctors there. Today my work is informed by my clinical practice, the materials I read in Chinese from doctors of centuries past, and the teachers of our modern times who synthesize observations of the past with the challenges of the present. This podcast is rooted in my own curiosity, inquiry and appreciation for different points of view.

In this episode we discuss:

What it takes to create a successful practice.
How Qiological became the success it is.
Should a new Acupuncturist start a podcast?
Some basic ideas and tools to keep in mind if you DO start a podcast.
