(00:01):
From one hour of fun to thenext. Boots and I. You got
a little cooking, but you can'teat too many cookies because of your heart
condition. One cookie have you hadto cut back a lot on your diet
and ever like this morning, Iate half a scrambled egg, a few
little smidgets of bacon, and that'sit. We're the old days. I'd
ate the freaking ballata chet. It'dbeen nasty. I'm surprised you're allowed to
(00:25):
eat any bacon. I don't thinkbacon. He's not allowed at when I
get out of here. I mean, seriously, maybe an inch by three
quarters of an inch long. It'sall right. I mean I believe in
anything in moderation, I get that. But there are still some things you
probably should cut out altogether. Okay, but you just heard the voice of
(00:46):
you do have to live a littlebit. I agree with that. Doctor
Brian Cohen in studio. He isevery single month. And you brought a
really interesting guest with you. Yeah. Not, Debbie is coming up in
the next hour. But that's actuallyhow we make you was through Debbie.
That is true. That's true.Now, I brought a very good friend
of mine and a colleague and we'vebeen collaborating for a while. Jamie Colburn
(01:07):
van Horne from Aligned Health. I'lllet her talk about what she does,
but the things that the things thatwe do together. She takes. Her
company does a lot of home health. So we have patients who have total
knees, total hips and they gohome after surgery and her group will take
care of them in their home,which is really helpful. And they also
she also has that same approach thatI do in terms of focusing on the
(01:30):
patient first and really access. Youknow, that's where we kind of meshed
together. So so do you coachpeople say hello, sorry voice? Do
you coach like if mom's seventy sevenyears old and got a new knee,
you got to go to their houseand inspect it before she comes home?
As we do? We do?We do. I have a team of
thirty occupational and physical therapist Okay,and we really serve a continuum as I've
(01:55):
kind of grown to know Doctor KickCohen, but from from home to work
to play, we do school andall the above, but we really served
a lot of doctor Cohen's patients inthe home basement. Okay, I wonder
because ahead, you know, ifyou live upstairs. You got to sit
there and have that hard conversation,so you don't think about that when you're
having your climb the steps, right, okay, Seemie. When you start
(02:16):
working with someone when it comes tophysical therapy, what's the most important thing
that they need to accept with anew way of life. They want to
get back to how they once lived. But what's the main thing that you
want them to realize? Well,I think, if anything, is just
the interview process of really understanding what'simportant to them, you know, and
really meeting them where they are.And that's you know where doctor Cohen and
(02:38):
I have really mashed. It's reallyyou know, putting the patient first.
You know what my goal is nottheir goal. So it's really understanding you
know, where somebody they say,you know, I, you know,
I don't really care to walk mydog anymore, but what I care about
is picking up my grand baby orwhatever it may be. And that's really
where you know, we say,Okay, this is your goal and this
(02:59):
is what we want. So it'sdefinitely patient centered and my team just does
an amazing job. I'm so proudof them both from you know, an
occupational therapy position as well as physicaltherapy. You know, we're looking at
both how they occupy their time andhow they're physically really interchanging with themselves.
So what do you do? I'llask the mean question when somebody's just flat
(03:19):
out lazy and you're trying to getthem to do something, they just won't
do it, the userverse psychology.I mean, I always wonder day like,
how do you get someone to dosomething if they don't want to do
it. Well, that's when myteam calls the old dog in and that's
me. So I go in andI say, hey, listen, you
know what it sounds like. We'renot on the same you know page,
and we're not aligned, no punintended, and you know, I say,
(03:40):
what's going on? And sometimes it'sdepression, you know, we're that
may not even be uncovered. It'slisten, I'm ticked, I'm upset or
you know, or I'm scared,and it's really saying let's let's back into
this right, let's go from theend back to the forward and after that,
and it's normally really and truly Imean no penitent as I said,
(04:00):
getting aligned with what they want.Then they say all right, all right,
and then we make some goals andwe make some objectives, and that's
really where it gets to that pointwhere we can get him going. Doctor
Cohen sent me an article and Ithought it was really interesting because it's not
just the physical therapy after coming homefrom a hospital stay, absolutely a surgery
that you had, and I thoughtit was interesting that you can help people
(04:20):
get back on track with their sleepschedule. How do you do that and
how does physical therapy help with that? Well, I will tell you that
we look at five pillars, andthose five pillars are physical wellness and mental
wellness, and sleep health, nutritionaltherapy, and then really kind of psychosocial
health. And that's really over thethirty years career that I've had, really
(04:44):
looking at all of those and ifyou're not going to have a good night's
sleep, you're not going to beable to perform if you're if you're feeding
your body with bacon or yeah,or a mountain dew or you know,
and then say I'm exhausted, I'mlike, well, let's you know,
let's just talk fact and that sleephelpis so important, you know, I
(05:08):
think we're all sitting here right now. No, if we don't have a
good night's sleep, we can't perform. But I'll be honest with you,
I don't think I ever get agood night's sleep. I mean, really,
what can people do who are likeme? That just you lay down
and your mind keeps turning, andthen you toss and turn and then you're
the clock keep sticking and you're downto maybe a couple of hours your head.
I tell Randy turn over, you'resnoring right right, I listen.
(05:30):
I feel the same way. Andit really is, how do you prep
yourself for sleep? And that's crazy. I mean I've I've hit that fifty
a year and now it's tougher.Right, It's like, okay, well
I probably should stop eating, youknow, at least three hours before.
I shouldn't have anything to drink,probably three hours before. I mean,
it's all of that prep or ittakes time. But when you invest in
yourself that way, mindy, Imean it makes a difference. I mean
(05:51):
it's made a difference for me.I've learned the hard way a lot.
And when it's like, oh,I've had like three hours of sleep,
what happened? Well, you know, we ate late, then I was
you know, I drank whatever,and then I was up and then I
was flipping flopping back and forth,and I looked at my phone, and
you know, it's really putting thatstuff away and prepping yourself and your environment
for that, and it makes abig difference. I think the phone things
(06:12):
probably huge for me. What aboutmelotonin and things like that work sleeping aige
absolutely, I mean melotonin is agreat natural, kind of holistic way.
But I have a lot of patientthat we're on a truly pharmacology and have
said, No, I always thoughtyou were crazy, this crazy blonde that
came in here and told me allthis. She's right there. But then
(06:42):
what matters is going to be awesome. I'm just excited. It's not me
now. But with that being said, it's really looking at you know,
I thought that that was nuts.But it's the little things, you know,
It's that compound effect. You know. You do those little things and
they add up. I have terribletime falling asleep, I really do.
I'm just like you. The minuteI lay down, the whole day comes
(07:02):
rushing back through my brain. Iwish we had an on off switch like
a light switch. Wouldn't it begreat to wow now once I fall asleepers,
No, waking me up, butthat first fifteen minutes later is horrible.
What do you do for that talk? I mean, I think the
biggest thing that I've learned is probablyputting the phone or your iPad down,
you know, before you get that. That's true. Unwind a little bit
(07:24):
now because you read something. Thenthen you're thinking about that thing that you
read, right, jeez, Iread that. Like people who just are
you're going to be ready to operatethem on they're going into surgery. What
do you tell them to relax?Don't worry about it. I've got this.
I've done this five hundred thousand timesbefore. But yet there's still leary
because no one likes going under tohave anything done. I don't think there's
(07:44):
anything I could tell them, youknow, I just I agree. You
know, it's it's one of thosethings where the unknown is just so nerve
racking, and you know, itcould be something as simple, you know,
and what we do, like anet arthroscopy versus something major like a
hip replacement, and they're still nervous, and I understand, and you know,
you just try to tell him.Look, I mean, we've done
this before. My team has donethis before, you know, We're here
(08:05):
for you. Our focus is onyou today and just you know, just
do the best we can in termsof giving you know, giveing them piece
break, time less commercials, youlove in Us. Mindy. This is

Doctor Doctor, that's for you,Doctor Cohen. The job, Hannah.
(08:28):
We're talking to doctor Brian Cohen andJamie Coburn van Horne with the Aligned Health
Group. And it was interesting becausewe posted on social media that you guys
are going to be on Susan Foleyright away. Oh my gosh, singing
your praises. She just had kneesurgery with you on the eighteen Friday.
Yeah, and she's like, youdo the best job ever. Well,
we fixed her shoulder too, soand then walks in with her son,
(08:52):
Cam and Cam's in a boot.Cam. You're going into eighth grade,
right, And I'm like, oh, I thought this was going to be
a subject of conversation. I thoughtmaybe doctor Cohen worked on you. They're
like he did, but that wasthe other the other foot, right,
are you guys in the cars orsomething naming him Cam? That's pretty cool?
No, oh, camshaft, SoI'm thinking, right, that's a
cool name. Cohen worked with himtoo. Yeah, I went I text
(09:16):
doctor Cohen. I said, hey, we have a we have an emergency.
He was like what I said?I sent him the sitting the X
rays right from the phone. Hehad to go to Jakes and get a
new cam. But that's how youguys kind of met and worked together because
you're the same way. You wantto be readily available for one who needs
to help. I got a texton the way down here today from impatient
really yeah all the time. Well, we're gonna do the phone. I
(09:41):
was waiting for your boss, lady. Good to Susan. Susan, were
you the one who just had surgery? Susan, yes, on Friday?
Wow, feeling two days ago.Doctor Cohen's asked you how you're feeling,
Susan. You're good? Yeah,no pain, man, really, that's
(10:01):
Friday night. Shoot, Susan.At what point did you realize you needed
surgery? Can you talk about thepain that you had leading up to and
how did you know it was timeto do it? Oh? It was
pretty quick. I was coming downsome stairs and had my handsful. Things
started falling out. I went tograb them, stepped wrong on the next
(10:24):
step, and I knew I'd donesomething in my knee. Dad. So
so Susan, let me ask yousomething. You got a new knee,
and what's that mean? She shehad a torn meniscus. Okay, So
when you give someone a new partlike that, like I had one tooth
capped and it feels like I'm stillmissing it. So when someone gets a
(10:48):
new knee, your hip, dothey say to you it doesn't feel like
it's there, but I know it'sthere in the beginning. It's about a
year. Okay. I was wonderingnow because imagine eventually you're gonna be knees
and everything else. I live thatlong. But Susan also she also had
shoulder surgery. My goodness, Yeah, how'd you do that? Susan?
I fell at work? Okay,don't roller skate whatever you do? No,
(11:13):
And it was Thanksgiving Day. Donot ever do anything on a holiday,
Okay, So did you know rightaway you're just going to doctor Cohen?
Was he in automatic and you didn'teven look around for another orthopedic surgery?
Like this is a guy because he'sthe best. Oh? Absolutely,
I mean after he did my firstone, and I had never met him
or heard of him on my firstsurgery, and I just went with my
(11:37):
nurse practitioner who was guiding my workerscase comp And after that, I was
like, I don't even know Ihad surgery a year and a half ago,
and I would have never told youthat when I happened. So yeah,
that's a no brainer. Well,Susan, happy rest of your recovery.
We're so glad that you called in, and we're glad you were listening
(12:00):
for commenting. I loved your pictureof you and doctor Cohen, and that's
the way a doctor patient relationship shouldreally be. Not everybody has that,
so I would consider yourself lucky,Susan. Yeah, he makes and his
staff makes everyone feel like family.They all do all right, Susan,
Take care of yourself, keep usupdated. We'll see you Thursday. How
(12:20):
do you know she's coming Thursday?You got that? All this stuff,
it all, Oh my gosh,I get Do you get sleep at night?
I would imagine your mind would turnand turn and toss and toss because
of all the patients that you seein the care that you give them.
I try to shut it off fora little while, but but going back
to staff, and that's where Ithink, Jamie, you know her staff
too. I mean, it's reallynice to work with people that are really
(12:43):
passionate about as passionate about what you'redoing as in today's world too. I
can't believe you find people like thatbecause most people don't care anymore. I
could tell you these people, youknow, my staff care. My staff
care to a fault like I do. Right, I have people you know.
I came to your shop, yes, for your knee. I went
(13:05):
before Susan had a surgery. Iwent to she was she was house sitting.
I went to her house that shewas sitting. And my staff if
somebody down southern Ohio has a problemon the weekend, they're like, I'll
go that word travels because that's somethingyou don't hear of anymore. That's right,
and that's what really people want morethan anything. So, Jamie,
the other thing I read about itin an article that doctor Cohen sent over
(13:28):
was you can help people's golf game. Yeah, what how did you do
that? It's just like what,So I listen, I've been an abbot
efer since I was five. Imean, those are memories that that I've
had with my dad unbelievably and andI built a line to truly, I
jokingly says the once and needs thatI needed. And so it was it
(13:50):
was just a sport that was verymeaningful to me, and I know it's
meaningful to a lot of other people. So I have been humbled by the
addition of Jessica Glass. So she'sa DPT doctor to PT and she came
to us from Bluffed in South Carolina, moved up and she was in that
kind of golf community down there,a Hilton Head Lufton area, and she
(14:11):
said, Hey, I really wantto start this said I love it.
Let's do it. So we arestarting and launching our golf rehab program that's
really looking at injury prevention. Youknow, from from going out to being
those weekend warrior golfers. You know, I'm just going to go out and
hit the sticks and things of thatnature. To someone that really says,
listen, I mean this is somethingthat's very passionate for me and and I'm
needing a medical eye to be ableto look at that. And what's really
(14:33):
cool is we have doctor Cohen onbat dial. So if we have anything
you know that we need we obviouslyand that and that speaks volumes only to
our golf rehabit. Also we havepartnerships with Sporting Columbus, which is a
private soccer club. We have apartnership with UGI which is Universal Gymnasts,
and Hilliard so wellness centers with bothof those partnerships and Doctor Cohen Service as
our go to orthoptist to watch sportingevents. And you see a football player
(14:56):
go down with an injury, doyou know exactly what probably happened? The
way he grabs it, It's veryodd. My husband's always like, just
go there and give him your businesscards. You already want to do,
because sometimes you see someone go downand grab a certain part of leg.
You all, that's a blah blahblah blah. Yeah that that tomma will
usually come out. Yeah, that'swhat that is. Yeah, he says
(15:18):
it when we're elegant. Riva iscoming up. Yeah, So this is
we're taking you back to those oldjingles and commercials. I would be surprised

Jamie. So where can people getmore information if they want help with their
golf game, if they want tosleep better, or if they just want
(16:22):
some better physical therapy. Yeah,well we have a website on line health
group dot com. We're on allsocial media plans, and we also have
a podcast. Actually doctor Cohen wasa part of so yeah, so we
brought him out of his egg.Brought him out of his egg. I
don't think we did that, Nan, I know Boot has been on a
(16:45):
roll today with doctor Cohen. Saidone thing I think that's his medication.
Probably I want so many. I'mlike fourteen pills a day. It's like,
what is all this stuff? Butboth of you, doctor Cohen and
Boots recently we were just talking aboutbecause I forgot about yours went through a
life changing experience, near death experience, because yours was how long ago,
doctor Cohen? It'll be a yearor a year this October. Tell everyone
(17:10):
exactly what happened. I was drivingon one sixty one and a dumb truck
came across the medium. Wow,full speed. He didn't hit anybody behind
you or anything. Now he wentbehind and then like wow, yeah that
is that's when you look up inthe air and go, okay, today
wasn't my day, and then wellnot the nice I have that video because
we have all the cameras on thatday. Yeah, when something like that
happens, your life seriously flashed beforeyour eyes. Well I won't say it
(17:36):
flashed before, but you definitely tryto take stock and try to think about
what's important. But unfortunately that that'sthe fades. You know, you wish
you could have that feeling of like, really, what's what's really important in
life? And then you just getstuck in your kids. Yeah, and
just hold on to that moment andthat feeling. I thought you were going
to say, you're on the road, and boots drove right by it like
(17:57):
at one hundred twenty miles per hour, like I would never do that.
And how you're doing with your changeof life. Set me up with doctor
Metheny, a good friend of his. I feel like I'm in great hands.
I've just been tired and my heartstill at twenty percent, which really
stinks. Man. It's just Irun an energy so bad. I'm not
at I don't get out of breathlike I was because I'm one. No,
(18:17):
I could put out a forest fireas much as I go. You
know what I think. One,it's terrible, terrible, terrible. I
mean, I go and I go, and just when you don't think you
can go, you go some more. That's so many bad thing about it
that the medication doctor Cole, whenyou think he's probably lay six lay six,
big big big ones too, theyupgraded it. It was a cleaning
out of system. Though it basicallyit takes off the water weight. Well
(18:40):
bothers. The thing that bothers meis I didn't realize I had a heart
issue, and it's something that youwouldn't know. I mean, I always
had a fib in the last fiveyears, but I did not know until
they did what the the esophageal Yeah, and it saw it at the back
of my heart that I can avalve that's not working properly. Yeah.
And in all my life, myheart's been working triple time night. You're
(19:03):
on a vaccination thing, but itbothers me. All the sports I played,
now, I would always remember beinga little winded, but I just
thought it. And then my momand dad hadn't checked for asthma when I
was like a junior in high school, and you don't have asthma, but
here this whole time, that's what'scausing me all these issues. I just
think it's outstanding that doctor Cohen steppeda from the table and got you in
line with another doctor cardiologists. Idon't know if I could say this or
not, but I'm going to.But the lady called me and said,
(19:26):
we're setting you up at eight o'clockon Tuesday or whatever, and I went,
do you have anything. Later inthe afternoon, she says this,
I don't know who you know andwho you are but you better take this
because they bumped you way up thelist. You're like, doctor Cohen,
thank you. I was you know, you let me know he's in the
hospital. I was going to comevisit you and you're out. Yeah they
got me, but yeah right away, I said, doctor Mathys. Yes,
(19:47):
what a great guy too, samesame attitude he has. You couldn't
you felt like you're with your brothersvers of a feather. But we all
would be fortunate enough to have adoctor Cohen in our lives. So if
someone is looking for an orthopedic surgeon, maybe just to get some man there
with their hips, their knees,their shoulders or elbows, whatever, how
was the best way to get aholdof you, Doctor Cohen. So they
he to my website Cohen Orthopedic dotcom, where they can call the office
