The Good Fight with Dr. Theresa Cullen
Dr. Theresa “Terry” Cullen is on a mission to make Pima County, Arizona one of the healthiest counties in the nation. It’s a challenging goal, and one that will take dedication and a willingness to fight for what’s right. But, Terry is a self-described, life-long pugilist – with an approach to healthcare that goes beyond policies and programs. Everything she does is rooted in her deep belief in accompaniment; that her role is to walk alongside her patients and community offering empathy, dignity and respect. We discuss:Her work as a rural doctor with the Indian Health Service Deploying to West Africa in 2014 for the Ebola crisisWhy the VA and DOD could not agree on electronic health recordsHer commitment to make Pima county one of the healthiest in the nationTerry reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and look at the work we do through a new lens:“My husband's an artist, and he challenges me all the time to look at something and look at the light. Look at the composition. Look at where it is. What's the pattern there? You know, and a lot of medicine is based on pattern, but think of a disruptive pattern. Think of a puzzle where the piece doesn't fit and what do you need to do to make that piece fit? Because if it falls into place, maybe the whole thing will heal.”Relevant LinksDefinition of pugilistResolve to save lives - 717 allianceHealthy Pima Indicators About Our GuestTheresa Cullen is currently the Public Health Director of Pima County, Arizona.

#279: From Alarm to Exhaustion: Self-Awareness and Stress in Leadership
In this episode of The TRU Leader podcast, hosts Michelle and Tracy discuss the pervasive nature of stress in leadership and its impact on well-being. The episode delves into the general adaptation syndrome, which outlines the body’s response to prolonged stress in three stages—alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. They explore stress management strategies to prevent burnout, drawing from Michelle’s personal experience with stress-induced vision problems. The conversation highlights the concept of "microstressors," subtle but persistent stress factors that can accumulate and lead to significant emotional tolls. Citing research by Rob Cross and Karen Dillon, they emphasize that high achievers often face unique stressors, such as managing both work and family responsibilities.
The hosts challenge common leadership norms that create undue pressure, such as the need for certainty and avoidance of vulnerability, and propose healthier leadership practices. They introduce a stress continuum model to help leaders gauge their stress levels, along with having a polarity mindset to balance competing values like self-care and caring for others. Leadership is likened to a marathon, requiring both endurance and recovery. The episode also encourages proactive strategies like open communication, prioritization, and mindfulness.
To further discuss these themes, listeners are encouraged to join our FREE webinar titled “From Stress to Success: The Formula for Leaders to Excel Professionally and Personally” which offering tools to help leaders thrive both professionally and personally. Register here.

Navigating the Challenges of Mom’s Dementia: A Daughter’s Story
In this replay of an Aging & Amazing Book Club discussion, we engage in a deep and emotional conversation with Carolyn Birrell, discussing her personal experience as a caregiver for her mother, who had dementia.
Carolyn, author of Walking with Fay: My Mother’s Uncharted Path into Dementia, shares her story of coping with the challenges of caregiving, its emotional toll, and the need to find humor and love in the face of difficult and unlovable behavior from her mother. She also shares the emotional story of the last days of her mother’s life during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Throughout, Carolyn emphasizes the need for caregivers to find encouragement in being more loving during this difficult process, even when faced with resentment and disappointment. One of the most notable insights shared is Carolyn's reflection on learning to see past the unlovable behavior of her mother and to remember the person she fell in love with.
Quotes
Balancing Care and Judgment: "One of the most frightening things for me during that time was the perception from others that I was being overreactive and controlling and was inserting myself into my mother's life unnecessarily."
Caring for a Loved One with Dementia: "I was able to manage her quality of care, but I wasn't able to manage her quality of life."
Finding Encouragement in Challenging Times: "When I wrote the book, I thought I was writing it for people who were feeling alone and I wanted them to know that no, you're not alone, that others have gone through this just like you. You're going to be okay and hang in there."
Finding Humor and Love in Caregiving: "And I think what I really learned from this whole thing is trying to find the humor and the spirit of actual loving this person who has become oftentimes unlovable."
In this episode, you will:
· Uncover insightful tips for navigating the unique challenges of dementia caregiving
· Understand the profound impact of COVID-19 on dementia care
· Discover effective coping strategies for dementia caregivers during challenging times.
· Learn about the valuable support and resources available through the Alzheimer's Association support groups

Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease Edition: hs-CRP and Cardiovascular Disease
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Regis I. Fernandes, M.D.
Inflammation commonly occurs as a response to injury or infection but can lead to damage when it develops in healthy tissue. It’s now known that inflammation plays a key role in the development of cardiovascular disease. It produces damage to the endovascular arterial cells allowing plaque to form within the artery leading to stenosis, thereby reducing coronary blood flow. What initiates the inflammatory response as it develops in otherwise healthy arteries? How should we use the hs-CRP in measuring inflammation in cardiovascular disease? Does our management of cardiovascular disease result in a decrease in hs-CRP? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Regis I. Fernandes, M.D., a preventive cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “hs-CRP and Cardiovascular Disease”.

Overcoming Challenges in Nursing Culture and The Art of of Intuition in Patient Care
In the final episode of this season, podcast host, Jennifer, speaks with ER nurse and celebrated author Jennifer Johnson, who shares her 16-year journey through the high-stakes world of emergency nursing and discuss her soon-to-be-released book, "Nursing Intuition." Jennifer's unique blend of emotional intelligence and gut instincts offers a fresh perspective on patient care, bringing to life the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of ER settings. Her captivating stories from rural hospitals to bustling trauma centers reveal the humor, quick thinking, and adaptability required to thrive under pressure—an insightful reflection on the skills that every nurse can cultivate to enhance their practice.
Throughout our conversation, Jennifer emphasizes the profound role intuition plays in nursing. We explore how this often-overlooked skill can guide healthcare professionals in making critical decisions, particularly when clinical signs are ambiguous. As she walks us through her career evolution—from an eager new nurse to a seasoned professional adept at balancing clinical objectivity with compassion—Jennifer stresses the importance of advocating for patients, especially in end-of-life care. The episode offers valuable insights into how nurses can harness their intuition to improve patient outcomes and find greater fulfillment in their work.
In the final segment, we navigate the complexities of nursing culture, discussing the impact of both toxic and supportive environments on career satisfaction. Jennifer shares her experiences with bullying and the pivotal moments that taught her the value of setting personal boundaries. By encouraging a culture of collaboration and learning, she argues, nurses can protect their well-being and avoid burnout. She also highlights the courage needed to leave unfulfilling roles and the joy of finding camaraderie in a positive work setting. Stay connected with Jennifer on social media to continue following her journey and insights into the world of emergency nursing.

Zayna Khayat: Language, Mindset and the Future of Care
In this discussion, strategist, and applied health futurist Zayna Khayat explores the evolution of healthcare, particularly the shift towards home-based care and patient empowerment. Key themes include:
Language in Healthcare: Khayat stresses the need for a language shift to change mindsets in healthcare, highlighting that words shape reality. She proposes retiring overused terms like “innovation,” “patient-centered,” and “telemedicine,” advocating instead for more precise language that reflects modern, patient-empowering approaches.
Technology in Care Delivery: Khayat is excited about how AI and virtual reality (VR) are transforming healthcare. She sees AI as instrumental in reducing clinician workload by handling repetitive cognitive tasks, while VR is proving beneficial in medical training and therapies like pain and anxiety management.
Shift to Home and Virtual Care: Drawing on her experience in home-based chemotherapy, Khayat discusses the challenges of moving healthcare out of hospitals, from reimbursement to infrastructure limitations. She emphasizes that many patients would prefer home care if given the choice, but practical barriers like resource availability and payment models persist.
Diverse Aging Models: Khayat challenges the idea of care homes as a one-size-fits-all solution, advocating for diverse models tailored to individual preferences and cultural values. She highlights that community-based models, like those in Denmark and Japan, provide alternatives to institutional care, supporting aging in place.
Value-Based Care and Accountability: Khayat encourages healthcare organizations to focus on results rather than processes. She advocates for outcome-based payment models, where organizations are compensated for results, pushing them to prioritize patient outcomes. This approach, she argues, would foster a value-driven healthcare system.
