Breathing Better, Part 1
November 9, 2017
Airway problems may be at the root of numerous health conditions: Fatigue, anxiety, ADHD, even hypertension, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and obesity. Additionally, breathing optimization can enhance athletic performance. Shirley Gutkowski is a dental hygienist who has shifted her focus to airway problems at her practice “Primal Air” in Wisconsin. Why has the human palate devolved to set the stage for breathing difficulties? Is this a disorder of modern civilization? How does chronic nasal congestion and sinusitis contribute to problems? Why is mouth breathing bad? How does xylitol help to break up nasal mucus? What are its newly-discovered anti-cancer properties? What is Buteyko breathing? How does it create a “reset” for the entire nervous system? If you suspect you’re suffering from airway problems, Primal Air is offering Intelligent Medicine listeners a free consultation via www.PrimalAir.com.

Refocusing the Doctor-Patient Conversation, Part 1
November 7, 2017
"What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear" by Dr. Danielle Ofri. Much of what transpires in a doctor’s office gets “lost in translation”. Miscommunication is rampant. Caregivers succumb to “depersonalization” which renders patients into mere objects. This undermines patient care. Due in part to rushed visits, physician burnout, and the interposition of electronic medical records, miscommunication also stems from lack of health literacy on the part of patients. Dr. Ofri explores unconscious bias on the part of physicians—how can it be overcome? Why does empathy by health practitioners improve patient outcomes, but carries a potential cost for caregivers? Why do doctors interrupt patients so frequently? Why is simply listening an art, and how can proficiency by honed? Why is study of the humanities now recommended as part of medical training?
