A Paramedic's Perspective on PTSD
In this episode, Matthew has a conversation with Andrew Douglas.  He is a retired Firefighter/Paramedic that has taken his experience with job-related PTSD and started a tech company to create an app to offer support and peer assistance to the fire, EMS, and police community.  We discuss common causes of PTSD in stressful professions like healthcare, the different treatment options, different sources of support, and the culture that teaches providers that they should only take care of others and not themselves.  Andrew’s story is one that many individuals can probably relate to.  Siento inc. is a mental wellness platform co-founded by Andrew Douglas, a former firefighter and paramedic, and Jason Hall, an experienced technology leader. Andrew intimately understands the challenges faced by first responders and high-stress professionals, while Jason brings his expertise in developing innovative and user-friendly solutions.Siento's mission is to create a stigma-free, safe space for individuals to anonymously share their feelings, connect with others, and access mental health assistance.

Breath Work and the Wim Hof Method for Overall Health and Wellness: A Discussion with a Breath Work and Wim Hof Instructor
In today’s episode, I have a conversation with Shereen Yusuf.  She is an engineer, health and wellness coach, breath work coach, and Wim Hof instructor.  We have an informative discussion about breath work techniques and the Wim Hof Method and how these tools can dramatically improve one’s overall heath and well-being.  We first met when she shared her extensive expertise and experience to the first Provider Wellness Symposium this past November, 2022.  We had her on the schedule both days of the conference where she gave an introduction to the Wim Hof Method followed by an experiential session where she lead a Wim Hof breath work exercise.  Following her first session, many attendees made it a point to approach me in the hallways to tell me how amazing her session was.  For this reason, I made it a point to attend her second session on Sunday and I can say that they were absolutely correct.  It was an amazing experience.  We will discuss these different techniques in this episode and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Shereen's information:website:  www.Suda-prem.com Instagram:  @shereenyusuffemail:  info@suda-prem.com To learn about the Wim Hof Method you can go to:  www.WimHofMethod.comThe other breathing techniques were Buteyko method and Oxygen advantage.Please check back often for more episodes pertaining to health and wellness for healthcare providers and caregivers.Please send your questions to providerwellnesspodcast@gmail.comWebsite:  providerwellnesspodcast.com Please go to providersymposium.com to learn more about The Provider Wellness Symposium.Thanks for listening and please subscribe and share this episode.
