We explore why the standard advice of "gentle exercise" isn't enough, how to empower rather than restrict patients, and why strength training is crucial for women's health as they age. This episode is particularly valuable for healthcare providers working with women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to offer more comprehensive support for their patients' bone health and overall wellbeing.

Episode Highlights:

- The meaning behind Kaari Prehab's name ("Kaari" is Finnish for "arc")

- How the pandemic transformed their in-person training model into a highly effective digital program

- Why traditional "gentle exercise" advice isn't sufficient for maintaining bone density and muscle mass

- The importance of proper loading and strength training for women over 50

- How Kaari Prehab achieves 80% program adherence through coaching and community support

- The treatment gap in osteoporosis care and why exercise options are often overlooked

- Partnership work with the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation and International Osteoporosis Foundation

Key Insights:

- Exercise is a crucial but often missing component in osteoporosis treatment

- The two-year wait between DEXA scans makes it crucial to provide ongoing support and feedback

- Digital delivery can actually increase program compliance compared to traditional in-person training

- Many active women (including endurance athletes) may still be at risk due to insufficient bone-loading exercise

For Healthcare Providers:

- How to discuss osteoporosis with patients in an empowering rather than limiting way

- Resources available for determining patient suitability for strength training programs

- The importance of comprehensive care combining medical treatment with exercise

- Recent Medicare billing code changes supporting more personalized, preventative care

Notable Quote:

"An osteoporosis diagnosis is not the end of anything. It's a call to action and a reality check... there are absolutely things you can do to take control of the situation." - Jenni Tarma

Why Dismantling DEI in Healthcare Kills People, EP 155 12:45

29 napja12:45

12:45

In an era where DEI initiatives are under unprecedented attack, healthcare stands at a critical crossroads. This episode cuts through the political noise to expose a stark reality: dismantling DEI programs in healthcare settings isn't just about politics – it's about survival. Drawing from extensive research and real-world data, we explore how implicit bias directly impacts medical decisions, treatment options, and ultimately, patient survival rates. From cancer treatment disparities to maternal mortality rates, the evidence is clear and devastating. We'll examine why current political pushback against DEI programs poses an immediate threat to patient care, and why healthcare providers – especially private practice owners – have both an opportunity and obligation to stand against this dangerous trend. This isn't just another conversation about diversity – it's about preventing needless deaths and ensuring every patient receives the care they deserve. Episode Overview This episode explores the profound impact of implicit bias in healthcare settings and provides evidence-based insights into why maintaining and strengthening DEI initiatives is crucial for patient survival and care quality.

This unscripted conversation offers a candid glimpse into how Tracy approaches both parenting and business leadership. Key moments from their conversation: - Tracy emphasizes that while she sees parallels between parenting and leadership, this doesn't mean infantilizing team members. Instead, she views her role as a guide who shows what's possible while allowing for growth through trial and error - She discusses the challenge of balancing control with letting go, acknowledging that true organizational growth often happens when leaders step back - Tracy shares a powerful insight about asking "just because I could, should I?" - drawing parallels between delegating in business and allowing children to develop independence - She reflects on making ripples of positive impact that extend beyond her immediate influence when discussing legacy - In a touching moment, Tracy becomes emotional discussing what she hopes others learn from her: the power of humility, authenticity, and standing firm despite fear and shame - The conversation concludes with Tracy expressing pride and gratitude for her role as a parent to both her children and step-children, whom she considers a privilege to support Memorable Quotes: "The way I view my role as a parent is as a guide... to show what's possible and then allow for that to open up and trial and error, grow forward." - Tracy Cherpeski on leadership philosophy "We grow better when I let go. That doesn't in any way mean that I'm abdicating my responsibility for the success of our company, for the success of our clients, and for the success of our members." - Tracy Cherpeski "When we take a stand for something, we can do almost anything... even in the face of fear, even in the face of a lot of unknown." - Tracy Cherpeski Connect With Us: Be a Guest on the Show Thriving Practice Community Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy Tracy’s LinkedIn Business LinkedIn Page Thriving Practice Community Instagram…

Tracy and guest Jenni Tarma dive deep into how healthcare providers can better support patients with osteoporosis through comprehensive, evidence-based care that goes beyond traditional pharmaceutical approaches. Jenni shares how her company, Kaari Prehab, is transforming osteoporosis treatment through digitally-delivered strength training programs that achieve remarkable adherence rates. We explore why the standard advice of "gentle exercise" isn't enough, how to empower rather than restrict patients, and why strength training is crucial for women's health as they age. This episode is particularly valuable for healthcare providers working with women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to offer more comprehensive support for their patients' bone health and overall wellbeing. Episode Highlights: - The meaning behind Kaari Prehab's name ("Kaari" is Finnish for "arc") - How the pandemic transformed their in-person training model into a highly effective digital program - Why traditional "gentle exercise" advice isn't sufficient for maintaining bone density and muscle mass - The importance of proper loading and strength training for women over 50 - How Kaari Prehab achieves 80% program adherence through coaching and community support - The treatment gap in osteoporosis care and why exercise options are often overlooked - Partnership work with the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation and International Osteoporosis Foundation Key Insights: - Exercise is a crucial but often missing component in osteoporosis treatment - The two-year wait between DEXA scans makes it crucial to provide ongoing support and feedback - Digital delivery can actually increase program compliance compared to traditional in-person training - Many active women (including endurance athletes) may still be at risk due to insufficient bone-loading exercise For Healthcare Providers: - How to discuss osteoporosis with patients in an empowering rather than limiting way - Resources available for determining patient suitability for strength training programs - The importance of comprehensive care combining medical treatment with exercise - Recent Medicare billing code changes supporting more personalized, preventative care Notable Quote: "An osteoporosis diagnosis is not the end of anything. It's a call to action and a reality check... there are absolutely things you can do to take control of the situation." - Jenni Tarma Jenni’s Bio: Jenni Tarma is the founder and CEO of Kaari Prehab, a company providing specialized strength training services for people with osteoporosis and osteopenia.
