We have seen the ebbs and flows of health and wellness trends over the past couple of decades, but now our society seems to have reached a point where research-backed health trends have stood the test of time. Many are seeing the light that losing weight quickly is not the best way to a healthy body. Quick tricks and gimmicks on how to lose weight have fallen to the side, and now people are gravitating towards sustainable ways to lose weight, gain muscle and ultimately focus on their well-being as a whole, not just the number on the scale.
One new reigning trend is eating a high-protein diet. However, this time, the trend is backed by years of research. Some studies currently recommend that women consume an average of 105 grams of protein and men consume an average of 125 grams daily. Your daily protein amount is, of course, dependent on weight and physical activity during the day. The more calories you burn, the more you need to increase your protein intake.
Women particularly seem to have a more difficult time getting enough protein, while in general, many people do not consume protein in an efficient manner. Multiple studies have shown that there needs to be an even distribution of protein throughout the day, so don’t skip your morning protein!
That leads us to three drink recipes that are an easy way to not only meet your protein goal but also get a head start to reaching it with your morning routine. So, let’s jump in.
If you can’t live without your morning coffee kick, adding bone broth or a protein supplement to it is an easy way to get in your morning protein quota. We all have a preferred way of drinking our coffee, so make it how you like, then add a cup of bone broth, which could get you almost 10 extra grams of protein. If you already drink coffee with cream or whole milk, that’s another couple of grams to add to your daily intake. You can make hitting your morning protein goal even more effortless by adding a protein powder or even a collagen supplement to your regular coffee.
A quick search on any number of social media platforms will give you some great recipes for high-protein coffee that you can tweak to your liking. We have included one easy recipe below that will have you on your way to making your protein goal a reality.
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ tsp. Instant Coffee
1 cup Chicken Bone Broth
1/8 cup Whole Milk

• Let cool for several minutes
• Enjoy your 10-12-gram protein coffee
During the colder months, it is easy to crave a warm drink to start your day or even as a little pick-me-up in the afternoon or evening. There’s no better way to get in some extra protein than adding bone broth or a protein supplement to your hot chocolate. This is another drink that has taken social media platforms by storm. You can find a quick and delicious highprotein hot chocolate below.
3 tbsp. Unsweetened Cacao Powder
1 cup Bone Broth
2/3 cup Whole Milk

In the realm of medical diagnostics, advancements are often the result of technological breakthroughs that redefine how healthcare providers approach patient care. One such innovation is the Vertebral Motion Analysis (VMA®) technology brought to you by the Driving Force Company. This groundbreaking technology promises to transform how injuries are diagnosed, how medical practices operate, and how patient care is delivered.
The VMA® technology stands at the forefront of diagnostic imaging, offering a dynamic perspective of spinal movements that conventional static imaging methods like MRIs or standard X-rays cannot. Traditional imaging methods fall short when capturing the nuances of motion-related injuries or impairments. The VMA® excels by visualizing the spine in real time. This capability allows healthcare providers to pinpoint spinal ligament and instability issues (not disc) with unprecedented accuracy down to the millimeter. This ability provides objective data crucial for precise diagnoses and effective treatment planning.
Published literature documents that the “VMA® demonstrated no less than a 41% increase in the sensitivity of detecting lumbar radiographic instability.”¹
“In studies submitted to the FDA, VMA® measurements were demonstrated to be accurate to within 0.2-0.4° (angulation) and 0.5- 0.7 mm (translation).”²
Sam Frentzas grew up in an entrepreneurial family rooted in his father’s belief that you must treat a customer well and offer a quality product. This goes back to when he worked at his father’s clothing stores during the summers and while attending Loyola University. There, Sam built a strong work ethic that carried over to his time as a commodity trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Sam co-founded the Driving Force Company with his business partner Walter Bergeron, a hub for problem-solving through their Mastermind Group and the birthplace of innovative solutions like the PI Connection System. The pivotal introduction of VMA® technology through acquiring a diagnostic company marked a turning point. This groundbreaking system has consistently propelled medical clinics to new heights by merging FDA-cleared, patented personal injury diagnostic equipment with effective new patient acquisition strategies and empire-building techniques.
The transformative potential of VMA® technology became truly apparent after partnering with Dr. Scott Tauber, whom he first encountered after his presentation on Personal Injury at a medical conference in Orlando.

The core innovation of VMA® technology addresses a critical gap in current diagnostic capabilities, particularly in the context of Personal Injury cases. Traditionally, diagnosing acute traumatically induced spinal injuries involved static imaging that often failed to capture the full extent of a patient’s injury. This led to a delay in appropriate treatments and a protracted patient healing period. However, the VMA® technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and expedites the reporting process for results. Comprehensive assessments can be delivered to providers and attorneys within three to five business days, significantly faster than traditional methods.
Integrating VMA® technology into their practices represents a paradigm shift for healthcare providers. Practices equipped with VMA® systems can now conduct in-house diagnostics without the need for outsourcing, thereby retaining diagnostic revenue and improving operational efficiency. This capability is particularly advantageous in Personal Injury cases, where timely and accurate diagnoses are crucial for patient care and legal outcomes alike.
While initially tailored for Personal Injury cases, VMA® technology holds promise across various environments. Beyond legal contexts, such as workers’ compensation or Personal Injury claims, the technology is valuable in assessing an athlete’s spinal health before contractual agreements and identifying potential health risks among employees in large corporations such as FedEx or UPS. By enabling early detection of spinal issues that could lead to injuries, VMA® technology supports proactive healthcare management in diverse settings.
Driving Force Company not only provides VMA® technology but also supports practices with a comprehensive infrastructure to maximize its utility and success. This includes training, integration with existing practice workflows, and dedicated support for generating and interpreting diagnostic reports.

TECHNOLOGY, FRENTZAS AND HIS PARTNERS HAVE CATALYZED A PARADIGM SHIFT TOWARDS MORE PERSONALIZED, EFFICIENT, AND EFFECTIVE HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS.
Looking ahead, Sam Frentzas’ and his partners’ leadership ensures that Driving Force Company will continue to advance innovation in healthcare diagnostics, fostering a future where cutting-edge technology intersects seamlessly with compassionate patient care. As healthcare landscapes evolve, innovations like VMA® hold the promise of revolutionizing medical practice, setting new standards for diagnostic precision and patient-centric care worldwide.
Both clinically and legally, success in the Personal Injury arena relies heavily on identifying objective findings (biomarkers), often referred to as medical evidence. Post-traumatic biomarkers can include lacerations, contusions, airbag burns, broken teeth, and dog bite puncture marks, to name a few. In the spine, damage is mainly reflected in three ways: fracture or dislocation, ligament laxity (instability), and disc involvement.
As providers, it is incumbent upon us to accurately identify the source of a patient’s post-traumatic injury, pain, and biomarkers. In addition, the ability to capture them objectively and quantitatively is crucial. Now, there is a way to accomplish both consistently, accurately, efficiently, and reliably, not only in a manner that benefits patient care but also allows PI attorneys to demonstrate causation and client damages effectively.
The Vertebral Motion Analysis (VMA®) technology revolutionizes how providers evaluate, document, diagnose, and manage Personal Injury cases. By enabling visualization of the spine in motion, VMA® identifies spinal ligament pathology (instability) or excessive motion injuries, which often go undiagnosed or underdiagnosed in Personal Injury cases.
Spinal ligaments can become injured after a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle crash (“whiplash,” etc.). The ligaments become elongated and subsequently exhibit laxity, creating excessive vertebral movement.
Spinal intervertebral ligament instability has been documented as a prevalent finding in the symptomatic patient population after a traumatic event. It has also been described as a rare finding without trauma. In addition, it has been well documented for years in what is customarily described in the law as a learned treatise. The combination creates an opportunity to identify a frequent injury, yet one commonly overlooked.
Clinically, ligament injury symptoms may include but are not limited to, headaches, neck or lower back pain, restriction of motion, muscle spasms, and radicular complaints. For many years, utilizing the only available technology, these symptoms were diagnosed as strains, sprains, subluxations, disc conditions, or not diagnosed at all. Previous technology has been contingent upon radiographic film quality, patient positioning, proper patient movements, or a combination. VMA® technology prohibits movement from ancillary spinal regions or even the hips during lumbar flexion and extension testing. These are prevailing issues with current spinal ligament evaluations, and they can decrease injury identification opportunities.
During the VMA® testing procedure, the patient’s cervical and lumbar spine can be isolated with bolsters, which is unique to this diagnostic. This allows the VMA® to capture spinal ligamentous injury with a level of frequency and accuracy unmatched by current technologies. This capability is a game-changer for patients and their representing attorneys in the med-legal arena and beyond.
Providers using VMA® can significantly improve patient outcomes with more accurate diagnoses and appropriate and effective treatments. In addition, they can enhance their Personal Injury marketability by consistently delivering accurate, reliable, and objective biomarkers supporting a patient’s subjective complaints and injuries. The VMA® is unlike any other past or current technology; “it’s like watching a movie of the patient’s spine move in real-time instead of only looking at 2-3 still photographs.”
For attorneys, VMA® provides critical medical evidence while establishing a vital injury causation link for their clients. After each evaluation, providers and attorneys can utilize the VMA® and Injury Summary reports package to quantitatively demonstrate a patient’s spinal instability. Even more importantly, the injury impacts daily activities and potential future health concerns.
The PI Connection VMA® system also offers a comprehensive administrative process and infrastructure from start to finish, streamlining a provider’s case management. This allows for a continued focus on their practice. This process includes an unbiased, independent VMA® read by a board-certified medical neuroradiologist, which is essential to ensure findings are reliable, valid, and professional, reducing the likelihood of future carrier disputes.
Beyond the Personal Injury environment, the VMA® is an incredible resource for identifying the source of spinal pain. Literature studies have shown that a significant percentage of the population suffers from ongoing spinal pain, which is often the result of a previous traumatic accident or injury.³ Now, providers can quickly rule in or out underlying joint instability from ligament laxity as a factor within their own office.
“As a treating provider of PI patients for over 20 years and now as an educator, consultant and coach, it is fascinating and gratifying to be part of developing a system that helps to identify the underlying pain source and improve case outcomes at a high level.”
Dr. Scott Tauber is the Chief Clinical Advisor (CCA) of the PI Connection. He is also the COO and Director of Education of the American Institute of Personal Injury Physicians. Both companies have changed how healthcare providers work with med-legal professionals and automobile insurance carriers in the Personal Injury space.
He is a national speaker on Personal Injury, sharing his knowledge and expertise with various provider specialties, attorneys and students. He has presented to audiences at medical-legal conferences, state association events, annual conventions, academic symposiums, and professional schools.
Dr. Tauber has also served as an expert witness in both plaintiff and defense medical-legal cases and as an independent consultant for several major automobile insurance carriers, health insurance companies, and state regulatory agencies.
In addition to his extensive clinical and consulting experience, he is a Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists and a Certified Professional Coder.
With a unique blend of clinical expertise and industry knowledge, Dr. Tauber can help providers and med-legal professionals optimize their case outcomes and grow their practices within the complex landscape of Personal Injury.

While oral hygiene often revolves around brushing and flossing, a lesser-known but incredibly beneficial practice has gained attention in recent years: tongue scraping. Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic traditions, tongue scraping involves gently cleaning the tongue’s surface to remove accumulated bacteria, toxins, and debris. Beyond the immediate benefits for oral health, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that regular tongue scraping can contribute to overall well-being in unexpected ways.
The tongue is a prime breeding ground for bacteria, dead cells, and toxins. Overnight, these substances accumulate on the tongue’s surface, leading to the notorious phenomenon known as morning breath. However, the benefits of tongue scraping extend far beyond combating bad breath.
A 2005 study published in the Journal of Periodontology found that tongue scraping is more effective than tooth brushing alone in reducing the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) – the compounds responsible for bad breath.¹ By removing the bacteria that contribute to VSCs, tongue scraping plays a crucial role in enhancing overall oral hygiene.
Research has shown that the tongue harbors a significant amount of harmful bacteria that can contribute to various oral and systemic health issues. A 2017 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research found that tongue scraping resulted in a significant reduction in the total bacterial count on the tongue’s surface, thereby minimizing the potential for oral infections.²
The tongue is responsible for detecting flavors, and a coated tongue can dull taste perception. By regularly scraping the tongue, individuals may experience an improvement in their ability to taste and enjoy food, as suggested by a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry in 2016.³
The oral cavity is a gateway to the rest of the body, and maintaining oral health is integral to overall well-being. Research published in the Journal of Oral Microbiology in 2012 suggests that oral bacteria and inflammation may contribute to systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.⁴ Tongue scraping, by reducing the bacterial load in the mouth, may play a role in preventing these broader health issues.
Various tongue-scraping tools are available, including metal and plastic scrapers. Choose one that feels comfortable in your hand and has a gentle, curved edge to prevent irritation.
Gently scrape your tongue from the back to the front, ensuring that you cover the entire surface. Be mindful not to press too hard, as this can cause discomfort and may damage taste buds.
Make tongue scraping a part of your daily oral hygiene routine, ideally in the morning before brushing your teeth. This helps remove accumulated debris from overnight and sets a fresh foundation for the day.
Consistency is key for reaping the full benefits of tongue scraping. Incorporate it into your daily routine, and over time, you may notice improvements in oral health, breath freshness, and overall well-being.
Incorporating the ancient practice of tongue scraping into your daily routine can be a small yet powerful step toward enhancing oral health and overall well-being. Backed by scientific research, this simple practice offers benefits beyond the prevention of bad breath, including the reduction of harmful bacteria, enhanced taste perception, and potential systemic health implications. As we delve into the wisdom of traditional practices, tongue scraping emerges as a valuable addition to modern oral hygiene, reminding us that maintaining health can often be found in the simplicity of time-honored rituals.
