A new paper is out titled “Safety Considerations for Dietary Supplement Manufacturers in the United States", co-authored by Jay Sirois, PhD, VP of regulatory and scientific affairs, Consumer Healthcare Products Association, alongside several CHPA manufacturers in the Journal of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology.
Today, more than 80% of Americans use natural products such as nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. And these industries continue to rapidly grow. Proof of effectiveness has never been more important, but of course, that's sometimes easier said than done and one size doesn't necessarily fit all. The opportunity to bring inclusion and diversity principles into medical research and to personalize products to an increasingly diverse population has the potential to enable better public health policies and access to treatments. In today's podcast we'll dive deep into the movement towards personalized, data-backed health and wellness treatments. With special guests: Pelin Thorogood, Co-founder & Executive Chair, Radicle Science and Susan Hewlings, Vice President of Research Affairs, Radicle Science Hosted by: Allegra Bartscherer, Former Director of Member Engagement and Marketing, CHPA
Brad Casper is the CEO and co-Founder of Heart & Soul Marketing, the fiercely independent boutique agency for challenger brands that uses strategy, art, science, and our unique voices to create purpose-driven business solutions, while being a positive force for change. With a lifetime of experience on the client side of the table, Brad knows what matters to brands and marketers most, which led him to create Heart & Soul.

He has run large, well-resourced companies, as well as entrepreneurial, smaller ones -- publicly traded, private, and private-equity backed. Previously, he served in several client side leadership roles, including: CEO of Dogswell, a private-equity backed pet food company located in Los Angeles; Executive Chairman of Dymatize Nutrition, a private-equity backed sports nutrition business in Dallas; President of the Phoenix Suns; President and Chief Executive Officer of The Dial Corporation in Scottsdale, Arizona; President of Church & Dwight in Princeton, New Jersey; and more than 16 years at Procter & Gamble in a variety of leadership positions domestically and globally. Brad Casper received his Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Virginia Tech University, and was extended a fellowship by Thunderbird Graduate School of Management.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, which is a time to spread awareness about how important it is to protect our eyes and skin from the side effects of ultraviolet rays. This month continues to be a reminder on the connection between over exposure to UV light and cancers that occur in the eyes, lips, and the skin. While sun safety has always been an important topic, especially as we age, the last couple of years have added new confusion to which sunscreens we should buy and how to use them properly. Joining us today for the conversation is Jay Sirois, Vice President of Regulatory & Scientific Affairs at the Consumer Healthcare Products Association. CHPA is the leading voice fighting to ensure that Americans have access to over-the-counter (OTC) medications, dietary supplements, and consumer medical devices they can count on to be reliable, save money and time, and deliver new and better ways to get and stay healthy.

Over the past few weeks, criminals have started to employ a new tactic against retailers to great effect: ORC flash mobs. Loss prevention pros nationwide spent much the holiday season responding to a spat of ‘smash and grab' robberies, in which a group of thieves swarm a store and ransack everything on the shelves. It presents a big headache for retailers. In addition to the loss of inventory, ORC flash mob robberies terrify customers and employees. And the high profile nature of such incidences can lead to a swath of negative media coverage. So what stores are most at risk? And how can proactive security teams address this issue? Drew Neckar, President and Principal Consultant at the Security Advisers Consulting Group, is on the show today. In this episode, he explains exactly what are ORC flash mobs and the threat they pose to retailers. We also discuss: * How thieves pick their targets: 7 ways to protect yourself. * How to prevent flash mobs without compromising the customers' shopping experience. * Why popular anti-shoplifting devices no longer work (and what to do about it). * Why you have to work with local retailers in your community to tackle this issue.

What's health care security got to teach executive protection? It's no surprise to anyone that in this last year, the health sector has faced its biggest and most unique challenges in its history. Despite such huge obstacles, they've come away with measurable successes that they can impart to the wider security community, especially when it comes to access control and securing a location. This week, we talk to Martin Green, CSO of Bay Crest Healthcare in Canada to discuss the challenges of the last 14 months in healthcare security and how EPs can adopt the lessons learned into our own methodologies to create a safer working environment for our clients. Topics we discuss in this week's show include: Air travel changed after 9/11. And in the same way, healthcare has now irrevocably altered after COVID. But what will the new norm look like? How typically, in security, we don't get the things we need until after we've needed them. How the pandemic has changed that perception to the benefit of security. What the health sector learned from physical security when it comes to securing large sites with limited resources and infrastructure. And anyone who might have an interest in moving into the field of healthcare security, tune in to hear Martin's single best piece of advice. We might be different branches of the same tree but when it comes to the wider security community there some similarities which are just inescapable. “Security is the department of everything. If people don't know who to call, they call me!” We hear you, Martin! More about Martin Green Martin Green is a Certified Healthcare Protection Administrator, (CHPA) by the International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety (IAHSS) and served as the Association's President in 2017. As a health care security management professional with decades of diverse leadership experience within the field of asset protection, he has been working in security management within the healthcare sector since 1985. Throughout his career in healthcare security, he has provided security design input to major redevelopment projects and designed and implemented security programs at major medical facilities within the province of Ontario. https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-green-chpa-90a6671/ (Martin Green) https://www.iahss.org/ (International Association for Healthcare Security & Safety (IAHSS)) More about the Circuit The Circuit Magazine is written and produced by volunteers, most of who are operationally active, working full time in the security industry.

Guest Moderator - Brine Hamilton, CHPA Special Guests - Joel Lashley, Gary Klugiewicz Today, the largest institution in America for the treatment of mentally ill people is the Los Angeles County Jail, followed by jails in New York and Chicago. How is it that we wound up housing our mentally ill and cognitively disabled people in jails? Is it just a fact of life that mentally ill and cognitively challenged people commit more crimes than healthy and neurotypical people, so they end up in jail? …Or is the answer more complex? In addition, emergency rooms absorb around 12 million mental health emergency visits a year. These visits can be not only enormously costly but largely ineffective, due to a lack of training by clinical staff to manage their patient’s mental health needs. In this episode Brine talks to Gary and Joel about how and what kind of trained techniques can have a positive impact on an institution's collective response to a critical incident. Some key takeaways from the discussion will include: - The role of a special management team comprised of various professionals in responding to crisis situations within an institution and how consistent interdepartmental training is crucial to achieve a positive outcome - How treating individuals with dignity by showing them respect keeps everyone safer - Why employing "Non-Escalation" can be as important as "De-Escalation" - Using empathy - what is the other person's reality vs. your own - is essential when communicating with someone in severe crisis
