After 25 years of being together, Steve and I decided to have a podcast. We've named it "Osteopathy Unplugged" because the type of Osteopathy we practice doesn't require electricity.
Over the years, we've explored all sorts of philosophical issues over what we call our "morning hot brown liquids" (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.) and we realized that rather than write it all down in a book, that we would be modern and pass on our ponderings via the 21st century oral tradition of podcasting. The younger Osteopaths we work with are excited about listening to a podcast, rather than reading a book. It seems as if everyone loves listening to podcasts these days.
We hope you listen and we welcome your feedback. We are in the early stages of expressing the art, the craft, and the tech of podcasting, and we hope to learn from our listeners.
Here is a link to our homepage where you'll find all the details: https://osteopathyunplugged.com/
The foundational episodes (about 8 episodes) will be free of charge, and will be available on our website, Patreon, Apple, Google, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Four episodes are already available.
After the foundational episodes, the complete collection will only be offered at Patreon:

We want to share our Osteopathic world view with anyone who is interested in Osteopathy. This includes: Osteopaths, Osteopathic Physicians, students, other healthcare practitioners, Continuum practitioners, patients, and anyone curious enough to listen and willing to dive deeply into the complexities of healing. Help spread the word.
be well, listen deeply, and stay curious.
HEALTH UPDATE - "SCANNING FOR FUN & PROFIT"
I can joke about the PET scan that I had last week, because it looks pretty good. It wasn't exactly fun, but I did hang my sign that reads, "The Tunnel of Love" on the outside of the scanner before they fed me into the tube. We all had a good laugh. And they did profit, as they billed Medicare nearly $10,000 for the procedure.
Great news! 95% of it is improved from the last one. The questionable area is probably due to reaction from the radiation therapy I had in January, and it is not a big deal. I do still have a small breast tumor and it didn't grow larger, but it is a bit more metabolically active. No one knows exactly what this means. I have grown and gotten rid of 9, yes NINE previous breast tumors, so I don't worry about this one.
All of this information supports decreasing the dose of my treatment with palbociclib (Ibrance). I begin my next treatment cycle in a week and I’m hoping it will be easier, as well as just as effective at the lower dose.
