Are you a dancer? What style is your favorite: ballroom, ballet, swing, breakdancing, or something else? Dancing is an expression of self; an artistic display of one’s emotions without using words. Dancing is also a useful analogy for moving through life. (Gracefully, we hope!) Every aspect of movement is connected to your posture and therefore your back. In this podcast we discuss these connections and explore through a short exercise how you can begin to move differently in life by repositioning your body and your mind.

How you stand tells the rest of the world a whole lot about who you are: your level of #confidence, your #innerstrength, your #comfortlevel, your #emotions. Everything about you is displayed in how you stand in this life. That is why #posture is such an important starting point in 2021, the #YearofRecovery. In order to stand tall and stand with full confidence, we need to have the strength necessary to do so. If you haven’t practiced the strength exercises for your back this week, go to our YouTube channel after listening to this podcast and start building the foundation for your confidence so you can stand up for yourself, no matter the challenge you encounter in 2021.

It’s the second week in 2021, are you back to normal yet? Of course not!! But at least I hope you are preparing yourself to be. This week’s podcast is about teaching you to apply the posture techniques taught in our YouTube video last week titled “Fix Your Posture” (link to channel below for other videos too) so that you can focus better and be more efficient while you work, drive, or watch TV. (I don’t imagine that last one requires much effort though...LOL) Those aches and pains you have are not going away anytime soon either if your posture isn’t any good. So, follow the easy exercise in this podcast, keep practicing it, and you will be prepared for even more sitting (Yay! Not…), at least until this pandemic has passed. Thanks for listening to the #GateofLifepodcast by #mymetromedicine! Your #1 source for living a better life every single day. Have an blessed day!

2021 is finally here and you are tired of the pandemic and ready for things to get back to normal! I feel you! But, are you prepared for what the new normal will look like? You adjusted quickly at the beginning to the changes necessary for working and schooling at home, wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart, and you cancelled your vacation plans (reluctantly!). But are you ready for whatever the new normal will be? What are you doing to prepare yourself? In this new episode (and new season) of the #GateofLifepodcast, we will guide you on how to choose the best steps for getting you prepared for an awesome life in 2021. Don't forget to check out our weekly videos on YouTube. This week is on getting you prepared with a healthy back and good posture and has some great techniques that anyone can practice!

In Episode #11, we complete part two of our interview with Mina Larson, CEO of the National Certification Commission on Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Washington, DC. (www.nccaom.org) According to their website, the “NCCAOM is the only national organization that validates entry-level competency in the practice of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine (AOM) through professional certification.” In our interview with Mina, we asked questions about licensing, their national board exams, and questions that came directly from Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine students who participated in our survey. We are grateful to both Mina and the NCCAOM for allowing this special opportunity to look closely at what the organization is doing behind the scenes to support our growing profession. Thank you for listening!

In this audio version of our ASK THE EXPERT interview, we sat down virtually with Pukai Jin, Radiology Technologist Specialist from the Inova Health System at Mount Vernon Hospital. Pukai is one of our local frontline healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic here in Northern Virginia (Fairfax), the hardest hit county in the state of Virginia. We discussed the challenges Pukai is witnessing in the Inova Health System as well as the sacrifices he and his co-workers are making on a daily basis to ensure the health and safety of our community and our country.

The reality we are about to face is going to be a very different one, which is a reminder that everything in our lives is changing as we speak. What will you do to make the best of it?

Across the world, people are going crazy staying inside their homes. People want to go out and live “normally” again, even if for just five minutes. Who can blame them? It is unnatural for us to stay indoors for so long, but the fact is, we have ALL been called to stay home. It is our duty as a caring citizen to think about the people around us in our communities. The health of the world is at stake, and we must all step up and work together. Please pass this important message on to as many people as possible.

As the days go on while we are locked away in our homes, the one thing we shouldn’t lose besides hope is our routine. We must have a routine with a solid structure to adhere to each day from morning to night. We must find a way to maintain this routine even with such a huge disruption like the #coronavirus. Regardless of who or where you are right now, your routine is severely impacted. Let’s make the best of this time and find a way to #staystrong, #stayhealthy, and #stayhappy together while maintaining our daily routines. We can do it!

Are you going crazy yet with your #coronaviruslockdown?? If you are, perhaps you just need something to do! In this podcast, I give you a variety of ideas that you can incorporate into your new, and somewhat disrupted, routine during your lockdown; from spring cleaning, to board games, to butt-dialing. (Maybe I should have added pranks!) Don’t get sucked into the boredom that is standing at your doorstep. Take charge and find fun and exciting things to do during this time of uncertainty!

This new CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN series is designed to bring you a guiding voice during this uncertain time of the #coronavirus #pandemic. In this first episode, we focus on the one thing we all need right now; being a good leader. What kind of leader are you being right now in your home, in your workplace, and in your community? Are you driven by fear or have you stepped forward courageously and taken on the burden that others are not willing to? We must all remain focused and have a clear vision of caring for ourselves and the people around us. In this new series, I start by challenging you to become a leader for the people around you. Let us all lead by example, not by our emotions. If we can all learn to do this, then I am confident we will get through this pandemic faster and perhaps find ourselves stronger than we ever thought we could become.

Did you miss your calling? Do you feel you should be living a different life, or even worse, COULD BE living a different life that your “stupid self” chose not to or didn’t take advantage of in the past? All of us are presented with opportunities in life that may allow for us to live the life we dream of, but we may not have our eyes open wide enough to recognize the opportunities before us. Regardless of you might have missed, that calling is gone, and in this podcast, I share with you WHY it is not important whether you “missed your calling” or not. For the title of this podcast is a serious question we should all ask ourselves. So, listen closely if you know what I mean! Thank you for listening to The Justin Flinner Podcast!

Acupuncturists tend to focus on treating deficiency (or weaknesses) in their patients instead of excess. In this podcast, I describe the difference and break down the thinking of why you should focus on one versus the other. It is important for us to understand why an illness is taking place versus what exactly the patient presents with. Another idea that relates to this is treating the root cause rather than trying to “fix” the patient by tending to their current signs and symptoms. Try this new approach and let me know your results! I bet you’ll be surprised! Thank you for listening to The Justin Flinner Podcast!

In this audio version of the recent ASK THE EXPERT show, we interviewed Mina Larson, CEO of the National Certification Commission on Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Washington, DC. (www.nccaom.org) According to their website, the “NCCAOM is the only national organization that validates entry-level competency in the practice of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine (AOM) through professional certification.” In our interview with Mina, we asked her questions about the role of NCCAOM, their reason for moving back to DC from Jacksonville, FL and what they plan to achieve, as well as what the organization does for licensed acupuncturists. We are grateful to both Mina and the NCCAOM for allowing this special opportunity to look closely at what the organization is doing behind the scenes to support our growing profession. Stay tuned for part two of this interview in the months ahead!
