Grief isn't just about death — and it doesn't follow a tidy 5-stage timeline. Licensed clinical social worker and grief counselor Tori Geter joins Jason and Kathy to talk about what grief actually looks like in real life: the delayed kind that ambushes you 20 years later, the ambiguous loss of watching a parent fade…
These are the episodes I find myself sharing again and again — when patients want more depth on what we talked about in the room, or when they're trying to figure out a problem before booking. They're conversations, not lectures, and they hold up.
"I send this one to anyone whose pain doesn't quite track with the tissue findings. Loss and stress show up in the musculoskeletal system in ways most clinicians don't talk about. This episode gives that the honest treatment it deserves."
"Patients ask me about cortisone shots constantly. This is the conversation I want them to have heard before they decide. Real evidence, real trade-offs."
"If you're getting headaches and someone told you to 'just deal with it,' listen to this. We walk through the types, what's treatable, and what to ask for."
"Frozen shoulder is one of the most misunderstood conditions in MSK care. This episode cuts through it — what the evidence actually says about timeline and treatment."
"When patients ask 'why does my back hurt' I send them this. It frames the problem honestly so the rest of our work makes sense."
"Half my patients over 45 are told their joint pain is 'just menopause.' The actual story is more interesting and more actionable. This episode lays it out."
PTCH is hosted by Dr. Jason Young, DC with rotating guests — clinicians, researchers, and the occasional wild card. The through-line is honesty: we ask what the evidence actually says, what the marketing wants you to think, and what makes a meaningful difference in real patient care.
If you'd rather binge-listen than chase one-off shares, the full archive lives at PTCHPodcast.com, on Spotify, on Apple Podcasts, and on YouTube. Subscribe wherever fits your routine — Spotify and Apple are where most patients tell us they listen; YouTube is where most of you subscribe.
