Introducing How Are Telehealth, Apps, and Wearable Devices Innovating Healthcare? from Health Discovered.

Follow the show: Health Discovered

When we think of receiving health care, often what comes to mind may be sitting in an exam room, being in a hospital, or visiting a pharmacy. But what about when we receive healthcare virtually? How do telehealth appointments, wearable devices, and health apps impact our access to care and shift how healthcare is provided in this day and age? In this episode, we spoke to Aditi U. Joshi, MD, digital health strategist and emergency medicine physician, and João Bocas, CEO at Digital Salutem, about emerging healthcare tech, how technology can bridge the gap between advancement in healthcare and human connection, and what people can do with healthcare tech to dramatically improve their health. Additionally, we sat down with Jason Saucier to hear his powerful story on how his Apple Watch discovered his atrial fibrillation and how he was positively impacted by his wearable device.

This week on The Bravo Bench, things heated up as Ace and Ana took a little detour down memory lane before David even had a chance to join the fray. Ana couldn't resist filling Ace in on David's swanky upbringing, complete with not one, not two, but three homes! Naturally, Ace saw an opportunity and wasted no time propositioning David—more than once, just in case the first pitch didn't land.

But the real fun began when Ace turned his attention to the wild world of TLC. With the return of Sister Wives and some fresh Duggar family drama. Ana, never one to shy away from a grim tale, had her case files full of stories that were anything but uplifting—though one did come with a RHOM twist that you won’t want to miss.

Then, David got straight into it, discussing, among other things, some RHONJ tea—Frank Catania claims that Teresa Giudice has stepped down from the show? Huh? And dished on RHOC and the latest scandal: “Lexi” and “Johnny Aioli’s” Blackmail debacle. Turns out, it’s not just reality TV drama—it's actually a felony, punishable by up to a year in prison and some hefty fines. How does 75k sound?

This trio is really hitting their stride when it comes to dishing out the judgments.This is one episode you won’t want to miss!

Introducing Dr. Aliza Pressman: How to Avoid Your Parents Mistakes & Raise Confident and Resilient Kids from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How do you help your children build confidence?

How do you teach your kids to be resilient?

Today, Jay welcomes Dr. Aliza Pressman. Aliza is a developmental psychologist with nearly two decades of experience working with families and healthcare providers. She is the host of the Raising Good Humans podcast and an expert in parenting strategies and child development. Dr. Pressman is also the author of The Five Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans, where she offers practical advice and insights for parents looking to raise emotionally resilient and well-rounded children. 

Aliza begins by discussing whether everyone should become a parent and emphasizes the importance of being intentional and reflective before making that decision. She suggests that potential parents should think about their own values and how they want to approach parenting. She explains that having a strong, secure bond with a child is crucial for their development and that this bond can evolve over time, even if there have been mistakes along the way. 

Some children are more sensitive and require a specific environment to thrive, while others are more adaptable. She encourages parents to be mindful of their child’s unique needs. The discussion moves on to discipline and encouragement. Dr. Pressman suggests that discipline should focus on teaching rather than punishing, with clear boundaries set for the child’s safety and well-being. When it comes to building confidence, she emphasizes that helping children develop skills (competence) is more effective than simply giving praise.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to handle parenting guilt and shame

How to set boundaries for your child

How to build your child’s confidence

How to discipline effectively

How to foster independence in your child

How to build a secure attachment with your child

By focusing on building secure attachments, setting clear boundaries, and fostering independence, parents can create a nurturing environment where their children can thrive. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

In this pilot episode David, Ana, and Ace dive into some juicy controversial topics. Kicking things off with TLC’s Forbidden Love, debating whether an ex-Amish guy who allegedly saw bestiality is guilty by association. Then, Ana drops a wild story about an Olympic pole vaulter whose manhood aka package might have cost him the medal and how she’s actually researched penis size by nationality. 

The conversation shifts to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey with the hosts throwing shade about the show’s toxicity and speculating on the future of the franchise especially Jennifer Aydin and Teresa Giudice. Ana gets into the “trad wife” trend, featuring Ballerina Farms—a former Juilliard ballerina now living on a farm with the heir to the Jet Blue fortune while raising 8 kids with no nanny. Oppressed much? 

Ace roasts his least favorite sister wife and her tragic business idea. The hosts then dissect Alexis Bellino’s drama with our favorite aioli Johnny J and dish out some spicy celebrity gossip, including the messy on-again, off-again saga of Ben Affleck, JLo and the faux hawk that broke the internet. With irreverent humor and sharp commentary, the hosts have set the stage for a no-holds-barred podcast.
