Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jim Prussak discuss the following: Why do you think more families are turning to in-home care instead of traditional facility-based care? Why is it becoming a more sustainable form for long-term support? Applause Home Care talks about “care partnering” rather than simply caregiving. What does that philosophy mean? Along with that, how does care partnering improve dignity, independence, and quality of life for patients? What are some misconceptions people still have about caregiving today? In your view, what needs to be improved across the system? What message would you like families listening today to hear about seeking help and support through home care?

4w ago00:19:07Tap to summarizeDr. Glenn Lyle a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, known for his meticulous attention to detail and patient-centered approach, located in Raleigh, NC joins eHealth Radio and the Plastic Surgery Information Channel.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Glenn Lyle discuss the following: One of the most common reasons patients seek revision is capsular contracture — can you explain what that is, why it happens, and how you address it surgically? A question many patients have is simply: how long do implants actually last? Is there a point where revision becomes not just an option but a necessity? You've been working with Motiva implants — can you talk about what makes them different from traditional implants and how they've changed the conversation around breast augmentation and revision? For a patient coming in with older implants who wants to upgrade to something like Motiva, what does that revision process look like from consultation through recovery? What advice would you give to someone who had augmentation years ago, isn't sure if something is wrong, but has never gone back for a follow-up? Dr. Glenn Lyle has spent over 30 years helping patients in Raleigh, NC achieve confident, natural-looking results through both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. As a board-certified plastic surgeon and specialist in breast and body procedures, he brings a level of precision and care that keeps patients coming back, even years after their original surgery. In this episode, he dives into the world of breast implant revision, covering one of the most common concerns patients face, capsular contracture, and how he addresses it surgically. He also tackles the question patients ask most: how long do implants actually last, and when does revision go from optional to necessary. Dr. Lyle will walk us through his experience with Motiva implants, explaining what sets them apart from traditional options and how they are changing the conversation around augmentation and revision. He'll also outline what the revision process looks like for patients upgrading from older implants, from the initial consultation through recovery, and share the advice he gives to anyone who had augmentation years ago but has never gone back for a follow-up.

Jennifer Kaufman, Author, Autism Advocate & First Response Trainer
Apr 3000:10:28Tap to summarizeJennifer Kaufman, a special education administrator, author of Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and founder of First Response Autism Solutions, bringing over 20 years of expertise to families, grandparents, and first responders navigating the world of autism joins eHealth Radio and the Autism & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Kaufman discuss the following: You've been in special education for over 20 years and then your grandson was diagnosed with autism. Did that change anything for you, or did you feel like you already had it covered? A lot of grandparents come into this with a picture in their head of what being a grandparent in their grandchild's life is going to look like. When that picture changes, it can be really hard. How do grandparents shift those expectations in a way that actually lets them show up better for their adult child? What does chronic stress actually do to the body of a caregiver who has been at this for years and doesn't think of themselves as someone who needs help? You also train police and first responders on how to best support autistic community members. What is the one thing that stops officers cold when they go through your training, and why does it matter to every family listening right now? You wrote a book, you train first responders, you run a school. What do you want the average person who knows nothing about autism to walk away knowing after this conversation? HELPFUL TIPS: If your grandchild or child has autism, get them in the water early. Swim lessons are not optional for this population. Over 90% of accidental deaths of people with autism involve drowning. That statistic does not have to be your family's story. Find a program, find an instructor, find a way. It is that important. The next time a child is struggling in public and your instinct is to wonder why they can't just behave, try replacing that thought with this one. They are not giving anyone a hard time. They are having one. That shift in thinking costs you nothing and it changes everything about how you respond. Jennifer Kaufman has spent many years working with children with autism as a school principal in northern New Jersey. She knows the IEPs, the behavioral supports, the family meetings, and the moments when everything clicks for a child who has been struggling. But a few years ago, her understanding of autism became personal in a way she never anticipated, when her grandchild was diagnosed. That experience changed her. Not her expertise, but her perspective. Suddenly she was the grandmother feeling the same mix of love, fear, and uncertainty that she had watched so many families navigate over the years. She was also the grandmother working to support her own daughter. It gave her something that two graduate degrees and decades of administrative experience could not: the view from the other side of the desk. That is the story behind her 2025 book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk, which speaks directly to grandparents who want to support their families but often don't know how. The book has connected with readers across the country who finally feel that someone understands their specific experience in the autism journey. Jennifer's advocacy work takes several forms. Through her speaking and workshop program, she addresses grandparent groups, family organizations, police departments and universities, focusing on practical tools and emotional honesty. Through her training company, First Response Autism Solutions, LLC, she works with law enforcement agencies, police academies, and campus security teams to prepare first responders for interactions with individuals with autism. Her trainings are grounded in real experience, not theory, and first responders consistently say they leave feeling genuinely prepared in a way that traditional training never provided. Jennifer has appeared on television and across numerous podcast platforms and is a recognized voice in the autism advocacy community. She holds graduate degrees in Educational Technology and Educational Leadership and is certified as both a Principal and Superintendent in New Jersey. She doesn't approach autism advocacy as an outsider looking in. She has built her career around it, raised a grandchild touched by it, and made it her mission to ensure that the people who love and serve individuals with autism have every tool they need to do it well.

She specializes in a number of plastic surgery procedures, including facelifts, neck lifts, and breast enhancements, including awake plastic surgery with local anesthesia. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Stephanie Teotia discuss the following: So many people have lost significant weight with GLP-1 medications, but their neck isn't reflecting that progress. What are the effects of taking a GLP-1 medication on a person's face and neck? Can you explain what a GLP-1 neck lift is and how it addresses the effects of weight loss in the neck? This procedure is done in-office under local anesthesia. How does that change the experience for the patient, and who is the ideal candidate? Are there any procedures commonly paired with the GLP-1 neck lift? How is a GLP-1 Neck Lift different from a traditional neck lift or facelift, and how do you decide if this focused approach is enough or if something more comprehensive is needed? Joining us today is Dr. Stephanie Teotia, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in Flower Mound, TX. In this episode, she'll explore the growing demand for the GLP-1 Neck Lift, a procedure designed for patients who've lost significant weight with GLP-1 medications but find their neck still isn't reflecting that progress. She'll break down exactly what changes these medications cause in the face and neck, and how this in-office procedure under local anesthesia addresses those effects in a targeted way. Dr. Teotia will walk us through who makes the ideal candidate, what the patient experience looks like compared to a traditional surgical setting, and which procedures are commonly paired with the GLP-1 Neck Lift. She'll also explain the key differences between this focused approach and a traditional neck lift or facelift and how she helps patients decide whether a more comprehensive solution is needed.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Jessica Lattman discuss the following: For listeners who may not be familiar, can you start by explaining what an endoscopic brow lift is and what it is designed to address? How do surgeons determine whether a patient is a good candidate for an endoscopic brow lift, and what factors drive that decision? Can you walk us through what a typical surgical plan looks like for an endoscopic brow lift — from the initial consultation to the day of surgery? What does recovery look like for most patients, and what milestones should they expect in the weeks following the procedure? What advice would you give to a patient who is uncertain whether their concerns are better addressed by a brow lift versus non-surgical options like Botox or filler? Dr. Jessica Lattman is a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon based on Manhattan's Upper East Side, with over 25 years of experience dedicated to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery around the eyes. Her dual training as both an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic specialist gives her a uniquely comprehensive understanding of the eye and its surrounding structures — allowing her to deliver results that are natural, refined, and functionally sound.
