As always, please reach out with suggestions, topic ideas for the podcast...and please feel free to ask any questions:)

Hey y'all -- Nick the curious patient here. I struggle with fear in my life -- fear of failure is a big one. I heard recently that trust is the opposite of fear. So how can we fear less and trust more?

Join Dr. Ron Dummar from Community Health and Wellness in Heber City, Utah and me as we talk about possible causes and solutions to a common human experience.

As always, reach out to us at [email protected].

If the world were full of people who meditated -- who, perhaps 5 percent of the time, learned to respond instead of react -- might we live on a more peaceful planet? What if we could teach kids these essential skills...or at least help build emotional foundations informed by mindfulness?

The Dalai Lama said this back in 2018:

"World peace can only be based on inner peace. If we ask what destroys our inner peace, it's not weapons and external threats, but our own inner flaws like anger. This is one of the reasons why love and compassion are important, because they strengthen us. This is a source of hope"

Join Nick the Curious Patient, Dr. Ron Dummar and somatic healer Krist Mackle for this discussion -- including ready-to-use tips for helping your kids find mindfulness during stressful situations. As always, email questions to [email protected]

If you're nervous about needles, you're not alone. Many people are skeptical that acupuncture can be helpful, and if you add on a fear of needles....that's a sizable barrier. So what is acupuncture all about -- and is it something that can help...you?

I think so, but then again...I'm just one guy. Nick the curious patient here, and I can share my experience at Community Health and Wellness in Heber City. I started dropping in for community acupuncture sessions, and it's been a phenomenal experience. This group setting involves sitting in a comfy chair in a half circle inside a room....the lighting is low, the music is relaxing, and you pretty much lay back and close your eyes for 20 to 30 minutes. (I lose track of time because it's so relaxing)

And, because you're sharing the space with others, you get a great deal. It's reasonably priced enough for me to be able to afford going once a week (or so).

Dr. Ron Dummar calls it a practice. That didn't make sense to me, until I started noticing some pretty amazing benefits to my anxiety and a growing sense of "it's all going to be okay" after about a month of weekly sessions. Anyway, listen to the podcast and let us know what questions you have....
