Why go from private practice to full time blogging, how to monetize the blog, her 3 day reset and change cave programs, influencers in her life, how to make a long distance relationship blossom and staffing tips. Dr Heather Denniston of WellFitandFed.

What is the reason for someone to go from clinical practice to blogging and coaching. She has two main products: 3 day Reset, Change Cave and Well Fit and Fed Blog.

When deciding to do blogging full time, what steps were involved in learning how to do it effectively? How do you find inspiration and topics? Eventually Dr. Denniston decided to monetize the blog, how did she do it? What was he best way to Find Her Voice?

WellFitandFed ’s pulse is on nutrition, fitness and wellness but in a consistent model with chiropractic so patients could have resources on important health topics to constantly reference back to.With so many options to monetize a blog via sponsors, guest posts etc, why did she decide to create her own programs? *Dr. Heather is not “all about money,” I just asked her practical questions about how to make a living not in brick and mortar clinic.

3 Day Reset: We can’t all stick to a regimented diet for 30 days. Can you just be strict with your food plan for 3 days a week though? What if you only did 3 days per month… now what if you could do 3 days per week? That’s 40% of your month eating clean and getting benefits. Find it online.

Change Cave: a 12 module (sleep, meditation, perfect plate, understanding epigenetics etc)massive accountability group with other like- minded individuals who need guidance and others support to get the results in health they crave. Listen to find out how you can implement her program into your clinic. When we have something we want and fail at it, it’s probably because we lacked Resources, Accountability or Community. How do we remedy that?

Optimal sleep- listen to learn the how, why and length that gives you the best metabolic healing.

Biggest hormone issue in men right now (especially over 40)is Testosterone: how do those symptoms manifest?

I’ll be on her Facebook show Junk You Should Know in March … always Friday at Noon PST

First 5 Consulting: she coaches chiropractors who are out of school for the first 5 years only. Don’t be so “done with learning” when finished school that you forego a coach to help you learn business skills. Should you only hire one staff until you see more than 100 visits a week or is that outdated advice? When should you hire someone to replace the things that anyone can do and you focus on things only you can do?

Western doctors saved her life and put her back together, but it was the alternative treatments that brought Quality of Life back to her.

It takes repetitive visits to retrain the body after trauma, why is that hard for people to grasp?

She treats a lot of patients along side oncology and chemo recipients. Learn how acupuncture helps with cancer and the range of opinions MD’s have about it.

What type of subspecialty of Acupuncture does she do (5 element, TCM, Japanese, Hoch-Posh)?

How to determine if you should do ipsilateral, contralateral or bilateral needle placement.

Pluses and Minuses of private practice vs working in a hospital or group setting.

What is a way to educate the patients on what you do, how it works etc without getting fatigue and stay consistent?

When in an office with other doctors, how does she handle training the front desk? Ways to schedule the patient for more than one visit at a time.

When starting out and you are tempted to come in on a Saturday, how do you say no?

Why do we tend to focus on that one patient that didn’t respond well to care but the 99% did?

As a single lady, listen to some advice on dating, and re-dating your significant other.

Episode 65 element nutrition and acupuncture from German Shanghai and Australian studies. I’m your host Dr. Justin trust Claire and today we are Kristin Zellers perspective.

Join 2017 podcast Awards Nominated host Dr. Justin TOEFL. As he gets a rare to see look into the specialties, all types of doctors and guess plus marketing, travel tips, struggles, goals, and relationship advice. Let’s hear a doctor’s perspective.

Nuisances of acupuncture point selection, does not being Asian matter, can you only observe the body to find a point, why not just free needle, linguistic chatter, and the low down on herb importance.

Alexandra Suozzo L.Ac talks to Dr Trosclair on A Doctors Perspective Podcast

Nuisances of acupuncture point selection, does not being Asian matter, can you only observe the body to find a point, why not just free needle, linguistic chatter, and the low down on herb importance. Alexandra Suozzo goes behind the curtain on e61.

The Mysteries of Acupuncture abound and we joke about that topic plus secrets and nuisances of point selection that never get revealed.

She discusses her first taste of acupuncture while in fashion school in New York and having a depression type experience. Acupuncture school is real work; it’s not massage but with needles. Plus not only do you learn the whole basics of medical school and other doctor based schools, but you have to learn a whole new thought process on treating the body (eastern style). After graduating and starting a practice within the last year at age 26, hear a perspective that is about as fresh as you can get.

Can you learn a skill of observing the body presentation and inserting a needle in the right spot or is it innate? She tells a great story about manipulating a needle and helping a shoulder pain, but it’s not quite what you think. How do emotions play a role in your manifestation of health?

Does being a ‘white girl’ doing acupuncture cause difficulty in getting new patients and building trust?

Why do American Acupuncturist use the tubes over the needles, instead of free needleling like China? Some states limit the herb part of an acupuncturist job description… why is that and does Alex prefer pills, compounding or teas?

What do you do when some of your friends aren’t there to share in your success anymore? What about when your friends can’t quite relate to the pressures of being a doctor and patient care and running a business?

Enjoy linguistics? We go into Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese.

What are the perks to being single, enjoying that and really exploring who you are prior to a serious relationship?

Did you know you can treat emotional trauma with Acupuncture and TCM? Learn how diagnosis from facial cues, pulses, gentle palpation, tongue presentation and more can differentiate the emotions after a trauma and soothe the trauma memory. CT Holman LAC author and teacher

Emotional trauma can be anything from anxiety, divorce, natural disaster and abuse etc. When you feel the surge of an emotional trauma, how do you focus on it, learn what it means and how to treat it?

TCM is founded on 5 elements. Learn how each element has an emotional component linked to it that can be manifested as an organ issue as well as a spiritual element tied to the organ. He gives examples.

If you ever wondered, what do these acupuncture and TCM doctor feel for when they are evaluating your wrist (radial) pulse?, then tune in because he gives a really detailed explanation. He does the Shen-Hammer Lineage Pulse evaluation.

Scattered qi … physiology is off tilt … what does that mean and why treat that first?

If you don’t believe in acupuncture, will it/ can it still work? Is it scientific?

Acupuncturists word of advice – keep studying and find what resonates with you. Learning doesn’t stop after your diploma. Keep your website current and learn how to do it yourself.

He teaches a lot of facial acupuncture, gentle palpation and qi gong as well as promoting his new book on Emotional Trauma.

He talks a little about the journey of writing a book and how qi gong really helped him stay focused.
