In this survey of 195,000 Americans the researches found that those who suffer from chronic pain tend to consume more cigarettes or vape more. It makes sense: chronic pain leads to less life satisfaction and depression. Nicotine fires up the Dopamine. So we need to do all we can to get out of pain fast. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-04-chronic-pain-odds-vaping-survey.html

One of the messages that I will consistently have is that every day we don’t defend our health is a day later on in life that we will have to fight harder to keep any of it. I see that consistently doing home healthcare with people who have multiple system failures going on, they are battling several diseases, which are both acute and chronic, and keeping their health in life together is like playing whack all with all the moles popping up at the same time it is difficult Set a one bit of advice I can give right now with this post. Start start doing something healthy today. I put this program together to help fellow healthcare professionals, overcome a problem, which I am good at that’s ending your pain, cause so often I see pain is a catalyst for multiple issues in health.

That's the whole point of this, for you to be able to smile with your patients

I watched a branding video this morning, and one of the focuses was on how we present ourselves to the clients, and in our case, our patients he discussed four primary types: hero, guide, villain, and then finally victim. No, of course we will not be the victims or the villains in our patient story I hope that’s the case anyway They guide me to thinking about us as providers in which of the two are we heroes or guides after a while of wondering I decided to stick with both at times we are the hero in our patient stories when an emergency and then hopefully act more as a guide, most of the time to guide them on a path of better health And better life As for me my role with this community I see it leaning towards guide significantly, however, if what I’d know and can teach you save your career that would be great by me

I created this message for my live talk to dentists on Monday night. This is a foundational truth of why I am doing what I do for you guys.
