In Boston on the 19 Keys “Save Yourself” Tour, 19 Keys sits down with NBA Champion & Finals MVP Jaylen Brown for a high-level conversation on futurism, culture, and self-mastery.They talk about why Jaylen was labeled “too smart” when he entered the NBA, how he stays authentic under pressure, and what legacy looks like beyond contracts, trophies, and endorsements—down to turning down Nike to build his own brand (741). The discussion goes deep into cosmic science, frequency, sound, and environmental design**, including wearable frequency technology aimed at supporting sleep, stress, and recovery without putting substances in the body.The conversation also expands into climate change, community preparedness, and institution-building, plus Jaylen's work with MIT and the Bridge Program, creating “learning camps” that expose kids from underserved communities to scientists, innovators, and opportunity.This is a dialogue about upgrading your mind, protecting your attention, building systems, and ultimately: save yourself.#19Keys #JaylenBrown #SaveYourselfTour #Boston #HighLevelConversations #Futurism #MIT #Frequency #Mindset #Culture #Legacy #ClimateChange #741Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Can Medicare patients get GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound for $50 per month through the new Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program?In this episode, Zoe is joined by Dr. Matthew Weiner and Deidre, FNP, to break down what Medicare patients need to know about the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program. They explain who may qualify, why Medicare Part D coverage matters, and why the process is more complicated than simply getting a prescription.Deidre walks through the eligibility requirements, including BMI, prediabetes, cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, sleep apnea, diabetes, and fatty liver disease. She also explains why some patients may not be able to use the Bridge Program if their GLP-1 medication can already be covered through their regular Medicare Part D benefits.They also discuss the two-step prior authorization process, the $50 monthly copay, why that copay may not count toward a deductible, and why documentation for a structured nutrition and lifestyle program is required.Most importantly, the team explains what patients should realistically expect as the program rolls out, why delays and confusion are likely at first, and how Pound of Cure is preparing to help eligible Arizona patients navigate access to GLP-1 medications.

Medicare's new GLP-1 Bridge Program gives eligible retirees access to Wegovy and Zepbound for $50 a month — but there are three financial catches worth knowing before you enroll.In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement Podcast, Radon and Murs discuss one of the biggest Medicare developments of 2026 — the new GLP-1 Bridge Program, launching July 1, which allows eligible Medicare beneficiaries to access popular GLP-1 weight loss medications like Wegovy and Zepbound for a flat $50 copay per month. Joined by Peace of Mind Wealth Management's in-house Medicare specialist Sean Southard, they break down exactly what this program is, who qualifies, how the approval process works, and what the financial implications look like for retirees on fixed incomes.Listen in to learn about the three financial angles every retiree needs to understand before enrolling in the GLP-1 Bridge Program, including why that $50 copay sits completely outside your normal Medicare Part D protections, what happens when the program ends in December 2027, and how GLP-1 medications and Medicare prescription drug coverage fit into a broader retirement planning conversation around healthcare costs, budgeting, and long-term affordability.In this episode, find out:What GLP-1 medications are, why Medicare historically excluded them for weight loss, and what changed in 2026 to make the GLP-1 Bridge Program possibleWho qualifies for the program based on BMI and health conditions, and how your doctor submits a prior authorization request through Medicare's centralized systemWhy the $50 flat copay does not count toward your Medicare Part D deductible or annual out-of-pocket maximum, and what that means for your retirement budgetWhat retirees need to plan for when the program's temporary status ends in December 2027 and costs could jump significantlyThe health considerations and side effects of GLP-1 medications that matter most for older adults, and why this conversation belongs with your doctor and your financial plannerTweetable Quotes:"Retirees need to avoid assuming that this benefit program is going to be permanent forever. Plan for what happens if that $50 copay jumps back up to several hundred dollars a month." — Murs Tariq"This is both a healthcare conversation and a financial planning conversation. Retirees should evaluate long-term affordability, potential future coverage changes, and how chronic disease management fits into an overall retirement plan." — Shawn SouthardResources:If you are in or nearing retirement and you want to gain clarity on what questions you should be asking, learn what the biggest retirement myths are, and identify what you can do to achieve peace of mind for your retirement, get started today by requesting our complimentary video course, Four Steps to Secure Your Retirement!To access the course, simply visit POMWealth.net/podcast.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)What if Medicare finally made GLP-1 medications for weight management more affordable — could this be the moment that changes access for millions of people?Today, we're talking about something that's been years in the making in the world of obesity care: the expanded coverage of anti-obesity medications for patients on Medicare. Starting July 1st, eligible Medicare beneficiaries have a real opportunity to access GLP-1 receptor agonist medications at a much more affordable monthly cost through a new federal program — and for many patients, this could mark a major shift in access to treatment that's historically been limited or completely out of reach under Medicare's coverage rules.This change didn't happen overnight. It comes after years of advocacy, policy discussions, and ongoing efforts to get obesity recognized as a chronic medical condition that deserves treatment just like any other disease. In this episode, we break down where this program came from, how it connects to the bigger picture of obesity care, who it applies to, and everything you need to know about eligibility, covered medications, and how the process actually plays out in real life.Topics discussed:How the Bridge Program Could Expand Access to Obesity MedicationsFor the First Time, Medicare Is Opening the Door to Obesity MedicationsThe BMI and Health Condition CriteriaWhy the Reason for Your Prescription Matters Just as MuchThe Details That Make a Real Difference — Prior BMI and Lifestyle SupportThe List of Weight Loss Medications Covered by the Bridge ProgramWant the full breakdown?

The biggest barrier to obesity treatment has never been willpower. It's been access.  This episode is your first look at what's coming and whether it applies to you.

In July 2023, Congress lifted a ban on federal Pell Grant funding for incarcerated individuals in prison education programs, but there still remain barriers to enrollment and success for these learners. The Petey Greene Program (PGP), a non-profit organization that partners with prisons and higher education institutions, launched a College Bridge program in 2020 to increase college-level writing, reading and math skills for incarcerated students. In this episode, PGP's Chiara Benetollo, executive director of The Puttkammer Center for Educational Justice and Equity, and Katherine Meloney, director of the Villanova Program at SCI Phoenix, discuss the college bridge program and the ways higher ed can support justice and learning for incarcerated individuals. Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Student Success Reporter Ashley Mowreader. This episode is sponsored by KI. Read a transcript of the podcast here.

This week on Everyday Injustice, we sit down with LaToya Mitchell, Navigator Project Manager, CA Bridge Program and talked about the innovative program that helps get people from ER into drug treatment and reduce annual drug overdoses. A few weeks ago, she was part of a rally at the California Capitol to push for a package of bills that would improve access to programs such as the Bridge Navigator Project. The navigator program allows ER patients to connect with treatment medication and staff immediately. Mitchell explained, “What most people don't know is that it is the easiest substance use disorder to treat because medication like buprenorphine, which is commonly known by the brand name Suboxone, acts fast to stop the withdrawals without euphoria and allows the patient to feel like themselves before the addiction.” Her job is to lower the barriers for patients to receive the treatment. She said that “there's a lot of stigma for people who use drugs and that creates barriers like obtaining a Suboxone prescription from big chain pharmacies, so it's essential that I know which pharmacies are Suboxone friendly and provide that list to the patients.” Mitchell noted, “We found that with the presence of the navigator, patients felt more comfortable coming in and saying, I'm here because I'm having opioid withdrawals, as opposed to them naming their symptoms and because they were afraid of admitting their substance use. Because of that, we're able to get them treated and in and out in a couple of hours. Instead of spending six hours in the emergency room getting unnecessary and costly tests, we found that it actually saved resources and a lot of money.” Listen as Latoya Mitchell discusses the importance of harm reduction and the use of treatment over incarceration.
