On The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane sits down with neurological physiotherapist and clinical researcher Haseel Bhatt for a powerful conversation about Parkinson's disease, neurological rehabilitation, and the critical role movement professionals can play in supporting people living with neurological conditions. Haseel is the founder of Neurology Rehab, a dedicated physiotherapy clinic focused on helping people living with Parkinson's and other movement disorders improve mobility, independence, and quality of life through evidence-informed rehabilitation. He is also an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Toronto, a published researcher, and a passionate educator helping clinicians translate neurological research into practical movement strategies. Together, Katie and Haseel explore what Parkinson's actually is, how it affects the brain and body, and why movement professionals — including Pilates teachers — play a far more important role in neurological care than many realize. The conversation also highlights a major shift in the Parkinson's field: where exercise was once considered optional, it is now widely recognized as one of the most powerful tools for maintaining function, mobility, and independence. This episode provides both clarity and practical insights for movement professionals working with neurological conditions. Because people living with Parkinson's are not fragile. They are capable of movement, adaptation, and progress — when supported with the right strategies. We Explore What Parkinson's disease actually is and how dopamine loss affects movement The four cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's: tremor, rigidity, slowed movement, and postural instability Why anxiety, fatigue, and other non-motor symptoms play a major role in the condition The phenomenon of freezing of gait — when the brain temporarily "loses" the ability to step Why simple visual cues like lines on the floor can help bypass faulty movement signals in the brain How large-amplitude movement training can recalibrate movement patterns Why exercise and physiotherapy are now considered essential treatments The difference between symptom management and disease progression Why movement professionals must tailor exercise based on each individual's symptom pattern This Episode Is For Pilates teachers working with clients living with Parkinson's Movement professionals curious about neurological rehabilitation Studio owners seeing more clients with complex health conditions Physiotherapists and trainers wanting to better understand Parkinson's movement patterns Anyone interested in the evolving relationship between exercise, neuroscience, and rehabilitation A Moment That Landed "If you've met one person with Parkinson's… you've met one person with Parkinson's." One of the most important themes in this episode is that Parkinson's is highly individual. Two people may share the same diagnosis — but their symptoms, progression, and daily challenges can look completely different. That's why Haseel emphasizes the importance of what he calls a "fingerprint assessment." Movement professionals must look beyond the diagnosis itself and instead understand: How symptoms present in that individual How those symptoms affect daily life What movement strategies will best support function and independence The goal is not simply exercise. The goal is helping people live well with Parkinson's. Key Takeaway for Movement Professionals If you work with clients living with Parkinson's: Movement matters. But precision matters even more. Haseel outlines a framework for supporting clients with neurological conditions: Awareness – understanding how much someone is actually moving Assessment – identifying each person's unique symptom pattern Precision rehabilitation – targeting exercises to specific movement challenges Environment – creating supportive systems and routines Self-management – empowering the person to take an active role in their care For movement professionals, this means your role goes far beyond teaching exercises. You become part of a team helping someone maintain mobility, confidence, and independence. Connect with Haseel Bhatt Haseel Bhatt is a neurological physiotherapist, clinical researcher, and founder of Neurology Rehab, a clinic focused on improving access to specialized rehabilitation for people living with Parkinson's and other movement disorders. Through his clinical work, teaching, and educational programs, he helps clinicians and movement professionals translate neuroscience into practical rehabilitation strategies.

In this episode of The Systemic Way, we sit down with renowned psychotherapist, author, and educator Jan Winhall to explore the transformative power of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM). With over four decades of clinical experience, Jan invites us into a radically compassionate, body‑based understanding of trauma, addiction, and healing.Together, we unpack how the body's survival responses are not signs of pathology but intelligent adaptations—messages that deserve curiosity rather than shame. Jan shares the origins of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, how it integrates polyvagal theory with focusing-oriented therapy, and why shifting from “What's wrong with you?” to “What happened in you?” can reshape therapeutic practice.We also dive into the practical: embodied exercises, the role of safety and co-regulation, and how therapists can create spaces where clients reconnect with their felt sense and reclaim agency. Whether you're a clinician, educator, or simply someone interested in the intersection of neuroscience and compassion, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful reframe of what it means to heal.A rich, generous dialogue with one of the leading voices in embodied trauma work—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Jan Winhall, M.S.W., R.S.W., F.O.T., is a psychotherapist, author, and educator with more than 40 years of experience working at the intersection of trauma, addiction, and embodied healing. She is the developer of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM), an innovative framework that integrates polyvagal theory with focusing‑oriented therapy to offer a compassionate, non‑pathologizing understanding of human suffering and resilience.Jan is an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Toronto, an Educational Partner with the Polyvagal Institute, and the Founder and Director of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Institute, where she trains practitioners around the world. Her influential book, Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, has become a touchstone for clinicians seeking embodied, relational approaches to healing.Across her teaching, writing, and clinical work, Jan invites us to listen to the body's wisdom, honour survival responses as adaptive, and create therapeutic spaces rooted in safety, curiosity, and connection. She is widely recognised for bridging neuroscience with systemic, relational practice in ways that are accessible, hopeful, and deeply human.

We are thrilled to welcome David Kilpatrick, Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at Cortland and one of the most influential voices in reading research, assessment, and instruction, to the podcast. In our chat, Dr. Kilpatrick breaks down decades of research and gets straight to the heart of what really drives reading success—especially for students with dyslexia. He tackles one of the biggest myths in education: that phonemic awareness is just an early skill you “check off” and move past. Instead, you'll discover why advanced phoneme proficiency is the engine behind orthographic mapping and automatic word recognition, and why it matters far beyond the primary grades. What we hope you'll take away from this is a clarity about which phonemic awareness skills truly move the needle, how to integrate them powerfully with phonics instruction, and how assessment can help you target instruction with precision. If you've ever wondered whether going back to phonemic awareness with older students means going backward, this episode will completely reframe that thinking. When you strengthen advanced phonemic awareness, you give students with dyslexia the foundation they need to become confident, capable readers—and that changes everything. David A. Kilpatrick, PhD is a professor emeritus of psychology for the State University of New York at Cortland and currently serves as Adjunct Lecturer in Psychology. He is a New York State certified school psychologist with 28 years experience in schools. He has been teaching courses in learning disabilities and educational psychology since 1994. David is a reading researcher and the author of two books on reading, Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, and Equipped for Reading Success, and is a co-editor of a third, Reading Development and Difficulties: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice.

We live in an age where truth twists into confusion, opinion drowns out data, and it's increasingly difficult to figure out whose expertise we can trust.Where did our mistrust in expertise come from? Its roots stretch back to deliberate misinformation campaigns beginning in the 1950s spread by the likes of Big Tobacco, Big Oil, and conservative church movements. Then social media poured gasoline on the fire, accelerating the spread of misinformation and making sowing division highly profitable.Misinformation campaigns take advantage of our brains' natural tendency to protect the familiar and mistrust outgroups. And they capitalize on the very real betrayals people have experienced at the hands of corporations, governments, schools, and healthcare systems.Our challenge now isn't just knowing the facts, it's interrogating our own beliefs, asking where our evidence comes from, and resisting the pull of certainty. As leaders, we need to discern who we give our attention to, practice critical thinking, resist manufactured controversy, and platform voices committed to both truth and connection.Today's guest is a neuroscientist and author of Why Brains Need Friends, who works to make science accessible, relational, and rooted in respect. He doesn't focus on winning arguments or shaming people into submission. He focuses on bridging divides, building trust, and reminding us that our brains–and our lives–are wired for connection.Ben Rein, PhD is an award-winning neuroscientist and science communicator.

Ecosystemic Futures

Traditional, unilateral, centralized control is obsolete. When autonomous systems generate orders of magnitude more data than they can transmit, intelligence must live at the edge - and this constraint is revolutionizing everything from spacecraft to supply chains to healthcare.William Van Dalsem, 42-year NASA veteran and Stanford adjunct lecturer, reveals why the future belongs to systems that think for themselves---not because it's elegant, but because physics demands it.The Paradigm Shift:→ The Edge Intelligence Imperative: Spacecraft orbiting Earth collect far more data than they can download---typically an order of magnitude difference. Factory sensors and autonomous vehicles face the same constraint. The bottleneck isn't computing power-it's bandwidth. Intelligence must live where decisions are made.→ From "What" to "How": Organizations fail by conflating objectives with methods. Saying you need to "land on Mars using retro rockets" eliminates every methodological alternative you haven't imagined. Separate the destination from the journey.→ The Modular Revolution: Van Dalsem's son built a state-of-the-art gaming computer from plug-and-play components---nearly supercomputer performance at home. What if spacecraft---or supply chains, or organizations---worked the same way? Standards enable innovation; vertical integration constrains it. Ecosystem Impact:→ Air traffic management evolved from one operator per aircraft to systems managing thousands of autonomous vehicles---the same pattern emerging in warehouse robotics, smart cities, and distributed manufacturing→ Google's autonomous vehicles trained on moon-and-back distances (250,000 miles), capturing 90-99% of scenarios, yet still encounter situations they haven't seen - AI lacks mental models of physical reality. When confused, systems must "phone home," whether navigating streetsor diagnosing patients→ The academia-industry-government "triad": diversity of perspective matters more than depth of expertise for solving novel problemsThe Strategic Insight: Self-aware systems must be designed from inception, not retrofitted. Adding sensors to a Model T after it has been built isn't feasible. GE's digital transformation showed that "industrial equipment" must become "smart equipment" architecturally, not as an afterthought.The Hidden Risk: LLMs hallucinate, lack context, and harm team dynamics when one "AI master" disconnects from collaborative processes. They're trained on historical data, embedding obsolete assumptions. Computational tools amplify, rather than replace, human judgment.Strategic Reframe: Where must decisions be made, and what intelligence lives at the edge versus the center?

Christine's work sits at the intersection of clinical nutrition, molecular biology, and lifestyle medicine, and she's perhaps best known for her groundbreaking research into sulforaphane — the broccoli-derived phytochemical with potent cellular protective effects. In this conversation, we dive into the concept of food as information, the role of nutrigenomics in personalised health care, and how phytochemicals like sulforaphane can upregulate our body's own defence systems. Christine brings decades of clinical, academic, and formulation experience to the table, and this is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the power of food beyond just calories and macros. Dr Christine Houghton has enjoyed a fulfilling and varied career in Nutritional Medicine spanning more than 30 years. As a clinician, author, educator, and researcher, she is internationally recognised for her pioneering work in the clinical application of nutrigenomics — particularly the broccoli-derived phytochemical sulforaphane. Christine earned her PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry–Nutrigenomics from the University of Queensland, where she is also an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Science. She is the founding director of Cell-Logic, where she formulates evidence-based, nutrigenomically active supplements grounded in her research.Dr Christine: https://cell-logic.com.au/our-executive-team/dr-christine-houghton/  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

What is filling the USAID funding gap?

On the first day of his second term in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that paused funding for USAID, the US government's main foreign aid agency, for a 90-day review. While the long-term effects remain unclear, the order has already frozen vital programs relied on by millions of people globally, forced the closure of USAID's overseas offices, and jeopardised thousands of jobs.As one of the world's largest foreign aid providers, the US plays an essential role with no other country or organisation fully able to fill the gap. But some recipient countries see this move as an opportunity to seek solutions closer to home.This week on The Inquiry, Charmaine Cozier explores the consequences of this shift in US foreign policy, asking “What is filling the USAID funding gap?”Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Katie Morgan Editor: Tara McDermott Production Co-ordinator: Liam Morrey Technical Producer: Richard HannafordContributors to this programme:Fatema Sumar, Executive Director of the Harvard Center for International Development (CID) and an Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, USMichael Jennings, Professor of Global Development at SOAS University London, UKFrancisca Mutapi, Professor of Global Health Infection and Immunity and Deputy Director TIBA Partnership at the University of Edinburgh, UKGeorge Ingram, Senior fellow in the Center for Sustainable Development at Brookings Institution, US

Hello, I'm Michael Liebreich, and this is Cleaning Up.I hope you are having a good break over the holiday season, and getting to spend some quality time with your family. I'm in Switzerland, where it has just snowed about a meter in 24 hours.In case you're missing your regular dose of climate content, we're starting something new, which we're calling Cleaning Up Redux. During the break between seasons, we'll be republishing some gems from our back catalogue, which now covers nearly 200 episodes.To kick us off, today we'll be listening back to episode 68, from Season 4, released in December 2021. It's a conversation with Amory Lovins, whom I dubbed the Einstein of Energy Efficiency. Amory is the co-founder and former chairman and chief scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute. He is also the author of more than 30 books and 700 papers, and now an Adjunct Lecturer in Atmosphere and Energy at Stanford University.I first became familiar with Amory's work even before I founded New Energy Finance journey, as a fierce promoter of the cause of energy efficiency by design, and equally fierce opponent of the idea of any role for nuclear power. Amory and I do not see eye to eye on everything, but we have become good friends and occasional sparring partners.Amory joined me on Cleaning from his passive house high up in the Rocky Mountains, which is so warm despite not having any active heating that, at the time of recording, he had produced 78 crops of indoor bananas – a fact of which he is rightly proud.The reason I chose this episode to kick off Cleaning Up Redux is that, in these very turbulent and politicised times, it has a refreshing back-to-basics feel. If you can save energy you save money, and that is always a good thing. If we all focused more on making clean energy cheaper for consumers and businesses, and a bit less on persuading politicians to do things that drive up energy costs, the transition might be moving a lot faster.I hope you enjoy my December 2021 conversation with Amory Lovins.Further reading: IEA Energy Efficiency 2021 report: https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-efficiency-2021 Official bio: https://rmi.org/people/amory-lovins/ How Big Is the Energy Efficiency Resource?  (a half-hour summary talk is at https://energy.stanford.edu/events/special-energy-seminar-amory-lovins-holmes-hummel) https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aad965 Recalibrating Climate Prospects https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab55ab Can a Virus and Viral Ideas Speed the World's Journey Beyond Fossil Fuels?

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Jerry Kaplan, a leading authority in artificial intelligence and a prolific entrepreneur, as we unpack the profound implications of generative A.I. Jerry, an adjunct lecturer at Stanford, dives into his motivations behind his latest book, "Generative Artificial Intelligence: What Everyone Needs to Know," stressing the necessity of understanding this fast-paced field. We dissect what generative A.I. is, the distinctions it holds from previous A.I. waves, and the vast potential it has in reshaping our interactions with technology and society at large. Throughout our discussion, we explore the seismic shifts generative A.I. is bringing to the job market and the broader workforce. From the evolution of work since the 1800s to contemporary changes, we see how technological advancements have altered job roles—sometimes displacing old ones while creating new opportunities. Generative A.I. stands poised to revolutionize creative and analytical tasks, even in software development, while underscoring the enduring importance of human empathy and personal interaction in a rapidly changing job landscape. We also delve into the rise of emotionally expressive A.I. and its societal impacts, from elder care to reducing political extremism. Jerry provides valuable insights into the concepts of A.I. hallucination and superintelligence, debunking myths and emphasizing the responsible use of A.I. technologies. Our conversation wraps up with a forward-looking perspective on the future of A.I. and society, highlighting the need to address wealth inequality and ensure the benefits of A.I. are widely distributed, fostering a more equitable and optimistic future. What You'll Learn: • What is Generative A.I. • How is Generative A.I. different from previous waves of A.I.? • The seismic disruptions from A.I. in the job market. • The rise of emotionally expressive AI and its impacts on society. • The innovative potentials and the ethical challenges we face with Generative A.I. • The critical importance of empathy in an A.I.-driven world.
