Welcome to the Swallow Your Pride podcast. I'm your host, Teresa Richard. I'm a board certified

specialist in swallowing and swallowing disorders, a mobile fees business owner and founder

of the MetSLP Collective.

This podcast is all about delivering the latest evidence-based practice to medical

SLPs everywhere.

Whether you're a new clinician seeking tangible tools for treatment or a seasoned vet stuck in a

rut, my goal is to help ditch the old school ways of the past that no longer serve you or your patients,

to reinvigorate your passion for our field, to broaden your knowledge about our scope of practice,

and to inspire you to practice at the top of your license.

So if you're listening, I encourage you to swallow your pride, be open and willing to learn,

because let's face it, your patients deserve that kind of care.

With that, let's dive right in.

All right. Good morning, everybody. Welcome so much to this while your pride podcast. I am so, so, so excited for this episode. I've got two amazing guests coming on today. They are from Germany. And I just love how this whole podcast episode transpired. I just was on LinkedIn one day, just, you know, doing my, my surfing while I was drinking my coffee and came across this awesome new study that our

wonderful guests today have published and reached out to them and just realized there's

probably a lot more that we could cover.

So we've got them on the podcast today and I'm really excited.

So Bendix, if you want to tell the people who you are.

Yeah, sure.
