Hi everyone — quick note as we get settled here. We’re intentional about the groups we join. We try to participate only in communities where we feel we can add value, offer a parallel industry perspective, and contribute insights that are genuinely useful to the discussion — not distract from it. Our goal isn’t to poach members, redirect traffic, or conflict with the culture of any group. We aim to share perspectives, research, and discussion points that complement what’s already happening here. That said, we fully understand we won’t be for everyone. If any post, comment, or topic ever feels off-tone or misaligned, we’re very open to feedback. A quick DM or note is always welcome, and we’re happy to adjust how we engage within the group. Appreciate the space, and looking forward to contributing where it makes sense. (Part 1 of our TPDB series: Risk — The Numbers They Don’t Want You to Understand) If you’ve ever read a headline that made you feel a sudden jolt of fear — “risk doubles,” “danger spikes,” “linked to cancer,” “raises mortality” — there’s a good chance you were reacting not to facts, but to a statistical illusion most people don’t realize they’ve fallen for. Almost nobody is taught how to read risk properly. And that’s exactly why this trick works so well. 🧮 Two Different Numbers — Two Very Different Realities You’ll never understand health statistics (or media manipulation) until you understand these two terms: 1. Absolute Risk This is the actual, real-world probability that something will happen. Example: “3 out of 1,000 people will experience this in the next 10 years.” Absolute risk tells you the size of the danger in real life. 2. Relative Risk This is a comparison — how much higher or lower a risk is in one group compared to another. Example: “People who do X have twice the risk of Y.” Relative risk tells you how groups differ, but it hides the actual numbers beneath the comparison. 🔥 Where the Manipulation Happens If your absolute risk goes from 2 in 1,000 → 3 in 1,000, that is a tiny absolute change…

⏰ Prep Ahead: CPA Conversations Before Classes Start Classes for The DPC Launch Program begin January 12. If you want to be a step ahead (and reduce stress once the program starts), now is the time to schedule a CPA meeting. Not because you need answers today—but because good strategy requires lead time. 🧠 Why This Matters Now Early in the program, we’ll talk about: - Legal structure decisions - S-Corp timing - Payroll vs distributions - Retirement strategy (Solo 401(k), employer contributions, SECURE Act advantages) These are not “figure it out later” topics. The clinicians who win: - Book the CPA call early - Show up prepared - Use professionals strategically—not reactively 🧾 Don’t Know Where to Start? Use This Guide If you’re not sure what to ask a CPA, we’ve got you covered. 📁 Folder 03 → CPA Intake Questionnaire This guide helps you: - Organize your thoughts - Clarify your business model - Identify what you don’t know yet - Have a productive first conversation (instead of a vague one) Fill it out before your appointment and bring it with you. ⚠️ Important Disclaimer (Please Read) The CPA Intake Questionnaire and all financial materials in this program are provided for educational purposes only. They do not constitute: - Tax advice - Legal advice - Financial planning advice All tax elections, payroll decisions, and retirement strategies must be reviewed and implemented with a licensed CPA familiar with your state and situation.

We’ll go deep on structure once class begins—but preparation now makes execution smoother later.

Today isn’t just Christmas... It’s also the deepest part of winter, when daylight is shortest—and biologically, that matters more than most people realize. Here’s the science nugget most people miss 👇 The winter solstice marks the turning point. From here on out, daylight slowly increases. Your brain notices this before your calendar does. 🧠 Light = instructions for your hormones Sunlight hitting your eyes (not your skin) sends signals to the hypothalamus—the command center for: • Melatonin (sleep) • Cortisol (energy) • Serotonin (mood) • Downstream estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid signaling Less light = more melatonin, slower metabolism, lower motivation. More morning light = better circadian rhythm, hormone timing, and mood stability. ☀️ Vitamin D is part of the story—but not the whole story Yes, vitamin D is synthesized via UVB exposure. But here’s the overlooked truth: Most of winter hormone disruption isn’t just low vitamin D —It’s circadian misalignment from insufficient daylight exposure. That’s why people can be “normal” on labs and still feel: • Flat • Inflamed • Exhausted • Moody • More sugar-craving than usual 🌱 Tiny holiday reset (doable, not perfect)• 5–10 minutes of outdoor morning light daily (no sunglasses) • Vitamin D + K2 if you’re not getting sun • Earlier bedtime = better melatonin rhythm • Walks after meals → glucose + mood win 🎄 Christmas is symbolic for a reason. Across cultures, light festivals show up at the darkest time of year—not randomly, but biologically. Light is information. Your body is listening. ✨ From here on out, the days get longer—and so does your capacity to feel better.
