Sipify Straw: Helping people with tremors be able to enjoy coffee again. Guest Alice Stone

Monday, March 18, 2024 • Duration 21:21

What started as a straw to keep you from getting coffee stains on your teeth, has been found to help a host of other interesting things! We welcome Alice Stone, creator of the Sipify straw. The Sipify straw's benefits and design were to drink hot coffee with a straw that will bypass the front teeth, aerate the liquid to cool it down, flat design to help prevent spilling. Other professionals have reported that it helps their compromised patients. SLP's reported the design forces smaller sips, which was helpful for stroke recovery and patients with aspiration risk. ENT reported it would be beneficial for oral cancer patients who need to learn to sip. Parkinsons who have tremors and shake can enjoy a cup of coffee again.

Relearning the "Soft Skills" In Dentistry Guest Hope Loyd RDH

Monday, February 12, 2024 • Duration 36:36

Hope and fear in the dental experience. Bringing the EMPATHY back to business. Soft skills are the people skills in dentistry. Communication, empathy, compassion, building trust with patients, making people feel comfortable and their concerns heard. Could connecting to your patients be the hidden key for career burnout? Helping to manage patients dental anxieties, being a gentle person who has compassion and can take their mind off why they are there. Now it feels like you are just a tooth factory and it loses some of the joy and spark. And some of the newer grads don't have those people skills and may benefit from some soft skill training from Hope Loyd. She also has her own podcast about dental hygiene stories Gums and Gossip, she also tells her funny single girl stories.

Worms that Poop in Your Mouth: Why I Need To Floss Everyday

Sunday, July 23, 2023 • Duration 43:03

This episode is truly special. Transitioning into another career, living a life of purpose and doing the thing you always wanted to do, not being defined by a disease diagnosis, and the healing power of faith and the power hidden in the subconscious even in the face of stage 4 ovarian cancer diagnosis.

Nancy Fisher, dental hygienist who became an acupuncturist is inspiring enough just for that feat. Going from her Associates degree to post graduate studies in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. But this episode also talks about living a life of purpose and doing the thing you have always wanted to do. She talked about writing a book about why we need to floss, told through the bacteria's perspective. It would be a great addition to a dental office for kids to read while they are in the waiting room for their turn. We will link that below. Nancy also has a really cool story she will share about how she handled her ovarian cancer diagnosis. This episode is truly special and reminds us we have a lot of power when we step into faith and our power vs leading with fear.

RDH Rant: The Bad Girls of Hygiene

Monday, July 17, 2023 • Duration 38:53

Building a community and a safe place to rant. Creating a space to get real and supporting each other in real life situations. Starting as a facebook group to vent about dentistry and to get feedback from other dental hygienists, it has become a place to let your hair down and get things off your chest. Hygiene is a wonderful career but it can be frustrating, exhausting, rewarding, draining, and fulfilling all at once. As of 2023 there are nearly 13,000 members of the group. Everyone needs a community and to feel like they are not alone. How do you deal with a catty office manager? What pay is the going rate in your town? What is the annoying thing your boss keeps doing? As the RDH Rant girls say “Don’t be a doormat.” The dedicated moderators of the group are Heather Kirby, Lizz O’Brien Bortolotti, Anna Sven. They have a podcast as well, so check them out if you love sassy RDH rants.

Microdosing: Caffeine for the Soul. Guest Harmony Williams.

Monday, May 22, 2023 • Duration 50:11

Microdosing, the new hot buzzword. Mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, MDMA. What are they, what is the therapeutic purpose, what does it help with? Did you know they have been researching magic mushrooms for years for treatment of depression, OCD, PTSD. There are even facilitators for the terminally ill to help people feel less afraid of dying. With the new plant laws being passed now to decriminalize plant based psychedelics, it's a fascinating new frontier. Paul Stamets had his stutter go away as an adult after 1 time of psilocybin mushrooms. Here to teach us about psychedelics, guest Harmony Williams. She has her own podcast called "Life Changing Trips". Harmony will tell us her story about looking into ways to help her daughter who was depressed and suicidal because of sexual assault. She was led to a ketamine program which really helped her daughter and opened up her eyes that not all drugs were the same. She will share how she used microdosing to help her with burnout and the midlife crisis she was going through. Microdosing helped her to be a more connected mother. This episode is part science, part human struggle, and ALL about the human spirit.

We will discuss microdosing, macrodosing, mushrooms, LSD, ketamine, MDMA, ayahuasca and more. There will also be stories about how they feel and risks and possibilities. Mushrooms make you feel connected to the earth and to other people, you feel the love of the universe. They also will show you what you need to learn, Kimi will share her "bad trip" story but how it actually was a life changing event that showed her she needed to learn how to cultivate self love. Harmony will tell her story about how the mushrooms helped her to see that she was exactly where she should be in her life, it changed her life and helped her to find her soul's purpose.
