Fretz Friends VT Podcast Fretz Friends VT Podcast

The Fretz Friends Podcast recently sat down to talk with Dr Paul Rollett. Dr Paul is offering consulting services to new VT practices. In our opinion, any VT practice could benefit from listening to Paul. He shared with us some of the important metrics a VT practice needs to watch.

How do you retain vision therapists and what role does office culture have in strong teams?

How do you build relationships with practitioners in the community?

Have you heard about first round Fridays?

Dr Rollett has a wealth of information and a generous spirit. He is one of our leaders in Canadian Vision Therapy and you do not want to miss this conversation.

You can reach Dr Rollett at https://okanaganvisiontherapy.ca/ or email him at reception@okanganvisiontherapy.ca

Qu’avez-vous mangé pour déjeuner ce matin?

Vous vous sentez inspirés? Dans ce nouvel épisode du balado Fretz Friends VT Podcast, nous avons le plaisir d’accueillir la Dre Barbara Pelletier et de discuter de bonne nourriture santé. Les Dre Pelletier et Laurie Capogna ont co-écrit les livres Aliments pour les yeux : un programme alimentaire pour des yeux en santé et Aliments pour les yeux pour enfants : Un guide savoureux pour la nutrition et la santé des yeux. Bien que les livres originaux ne sont plus en impression, Dre Capogna a depuis écrit un nouveau livre: Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide , nous vous invitons à le consulter.

Barbara partage aussi avec nous l’histoire du livre Aliments pour les yeux, et donne ses précieux conseils sur comment se lancer à l’écriture d’un livre.

Pourquoi ne pas essayer le smoothie préféré de Barbara pour le déjeuner demain?

La recette de smoothie préférée de Michelle est d’ ICI. Le smoothie préféré de France est celui de Dr. Pelletier.

April a une recette délicieuse de salade si vous pensez déjà au dîner :

Assaisonnez des patates douces avec de la cannelle, du sel, du poivre et de l’huile d’olive. Faites griller les patates douces, ajoutez-les à du chou frisé, des carottes rappées, des graines de grenade, des pacanes, des canneberges séchées et de l’avocat. Pour la vinaigrette, utilisez de l’huile d’olive, du vinaigre balsamique, de la sauce soya, de la moutarde de Dijon et du sirop d’érable. Bon appétit !!
