A hard-hitting exposé of how methadone clinics fail people in recovery—and an urgent, unapologetic case for their abolition.  Methadone is a life-saving medication. But the current system for obtaining it—the opioid treatment program, commonly known as the methadone clinic—is punitive, unjust, and often humiliating. In this eye-opening book Liquid Handcuffs: Policing and Punishment in Methadone Clinics and the Future of Opioid Addiction Treatment (North Atlantic Books, 2026), social worker and journalist Helen Redmond takes readers inside the hidden world of methadone clinics, exposing the “culture of cruelty” that polices, punishes, and profits from those they're meant to serve. Through patient stories and extensive interviews with methadone users and clinic workers, Redmond weaves a compelling argument against the current clinic system. She provides a detailed history of how methadone was first developed and why the current system for dispensing methadone arose in the U.S., tracing its entanglement with the carceral system and the “War on Drugs” as well as private equity firms and tech companies. She details the numerous barriers to enter and remain and treatment, as well as standard practices that shame and discriminate against patients, such as restrictions on take-home doses; daily attendance requirements; regular urine testing; and threats of cutting off medication for any infraction of clinic rules. She also explores the nuances of resistance to methadone clinics within communities of color, unpacking the political, racial, and cultural circumstances behind the opposition to methadone. Redmond persuasively makes the case for removing police agencies like the DEA from clinic administration, and shows how a transition to provider-prescribed pharmacy pickup, along with other tools of harm reduction such as safe-supply and peer-support services, would restore dignity to patients struggling with addiction—and save thousands of lives.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good friend John Gorman to unpack the current “wild west” of peptides, TRT, GLP medications, and performance-driven bloodwork. We dig into how John's telemedicine clinic approaches comprehensive lab testing — and why running a full panel (including markers like reverse T3) matters far more than cherry-picking a few numbers. If you've been dieting hard, training consistently, and still feeling stuck, we break down how chronic stress, poor recovery, and subtle hormone disruptions can quietly crush metabolism and make fat loss feel like a white-knuckle grind. We also cover testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) — the real pros and cons, common oversimplifications in the industry, and what most clinics fail to discuss. From there, we dive into GLP-1 medications and tirzepatide, what we currently know, what we don't know about long-term use, and how to think critically about risk versus reward. John shares practical guidance on legitimate peptide sourcing, red flags to watch for, and how to think about “periphery” tools like methylene blue and injectable carnitine without getting sucked into hype. If you're interested in optimizing performance, improving body composition, or simply making smarter decisions in a rapidly changing medical landscape, this episode will help you separate signal from noise.

Many hearing clinics believe they're unique, yet to prospective patients, most practices look and sound exactly the same. In this episode, Oli explains why differentiation is so difficult in hearing care, why most clinics default to generic messaging, and how you can create clear points of difference without fundamentally changing your services, pricing, or clinical approach.

Daniel Chamberlain and Coach Kenny Simpson open with February coaching updates, including state conventions, the coaching carousel, and clinic season, and discuss the difference between social/job-networking clinics and scheme-intensive clinics. They share an Abraham Lincoln discipline quote and relate it to the GWAT 100 February mileage challenge. Kenny promotes his books (Complete Guide to Buck Sweep from the Shotgun and O-10 to 10-0), the Gun-T system update (7.0), and the move of Gun-T resources to gunteesystem.com, then lists upcoming Gun-T clinics (Sacramento, Houston, Ohio, Boston, and a newly added Tampa clinic March 20–21). Daniel promotes the 4-2-5 Defense Clinic in Boston (March 13–14), possible Naples, Florida dates, speakers including Brady Bradbury and a Massachusetts state-championship coach host, and notes early-bird pricing and hotel deadlines. The main topic is in-game adjustments: defining them as planned, built-in counters to unexpected looks or opponent changes (personnel, fronts, coverages, or targeted matchups), not desperation play-calling. They emphasize preparing adjustments in the offseason, keeping a small, concept-based system with tags, practicing answers during the week, assigning coaches specific “eyes” (front, back end, formations, fits), and communicating clearly between drives and at halftime, with great coaches adjusting in real time. Examples include flood-and-go, pop pass, false pulls, and formation changes when opponents struggle to align. They discuss evaluating adjustment ability (between drives vs halftime vs “we'll fix it next week”), and the importance of writing down halftime plans. A “situation of the week” covers facing an unexpected bear front after preparing for two-high; Kenny explains abandoning dead scripted calls, using numbers/space and built-in tools, and coordinating quick conversations with line and QB coaches to adjust run game, protections, and pass/RPO answers before the next series. They close with sponsor mentions (Aport video boards and fundraising, Winning Edge Performance Analytics, Blended Threads), and share where to find them and the podcast on social media.00:00 Welcome + February Coaching Carousel & Clinic Season00:30 State Conventions: Networking, Gossip, and What Clinics Are Really For02:55 Quote of the Week: Discipline (Lincoln) + Team Themes Update04:14 G-Watt 100 Challenge: Discipline in Real Life05:42 Books, Gun-T System Updates, and New Website Resources07:56 Upcoming Clinics Tour + 4-2-5 Boston Details12:45 Today's Topic: What Are In-Game Adjustments?19:03 Why In-Game Adjustments Matter (Neutralize Strengths, Exploit Weaknesses)24:39 How Great Coaches Adjust: Between Drives, Halftime, and Preparation30:16 Practical Steps: Defensive Adjustment Process (Don't Chase Ghosts)31:29 Defensive End-Game Adjustments: Stop the Star, Pressure the Backup QB33:03 Offensive Built-In Answers: Tags, Flood-and-Go, and Planning for Counters34:08 Practice Like Friday: Scout-Team Freedom & Midweek Adjustment Reps35:51 Coach's Eyes & In-Game Communication: Assigning Keys and Spotting Trends36:50 Halftime Case Study: Real Adjustments vs Desperation Calls38:24 Pregame Film Study & Learning from Officials' Keys41:46 Write It Down: Call Sheets, Walking Halftime Meetings, and Staying Organized43:15 System Design: Modular Tags, Communicable Calls, and Player Ownership49:11 Situation of the Week: Too-High to Bear Front—Immediate Game-Day Response55:37 Sponsors, Clinics, Where to Find Us, andDaniel Chamberlain: @CoachChamboOK ChamberlainFootballConsulting@gmail.com chamberlainfootballconsulting.com Kenny Simpson: @FBCoachSimpson fbcoachsimpson@gmail.com FBCoachSimpson.com

Tuberculosis remains one of the world's oldest and most stubborn infectious diseases, yet the way health systems respond to it is often dogged by modern challenges. Clinics are overcrowded, families must travel long distances, and children with vague or non-specific symptoms are frequently overlooked. For decades, tuberculosis care has been organised around hospitals and specialised facilities, even though the disease itself spreads and takes root in homes and communities. A growing body of research now argues that this mismatch is costing lives, particularly among children. Decentralised models of care, which bring services closer to families and empower community-based health workers, offer a compelling alternative. Recent evidence from multiple settings shows that when tuberculosis care is shifted out of distant clinics and into neighbourhoods and households, access expands with potential to close the current gaps in TB detection, treatment outcomes and prevention that benefit communities and families, including their children.

AI is everywhere in healthcare conversations. This episode asks the more uncomfortable question: what is it actually doing in real hospitals, with real patients, and real constraints?Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Joshua Liu, Co-Founder and CEO of SeamlessMD, for a clinician-first, workflow-grounded conversation about where AI delivers value today, where it still falls apart, and why “smart” tools often die quietly at implementation.They unpack why the most immediate wins are not futuristic diagnostics. They are the unglamorous bottlenecks that drain clinical bandwidth: documentation, forms, referrals, and the administrative sprawl that keeps teams stuck in the note instead of at the bedside. From there, the conversation turns to a core systems problem: insight without protocol. A model can predict risk. But if no one knows what to do with the number, nothing changes.You'll also hear a clear breakdown of “AI agents,” why trust matters more than technology, and how digital care journeys can reduce anxiety, shorten length of stay, and catch post-discharge issues earlier without flooding clinicians with noise.If you are a CMIO, CIO, clinical operations leader, surgical program director, or anyone tired of alert fatigue and “model theater,” this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.Dr. Joshua Liu Website https://www.seamless.md/Episode Takeaways1. AI's First Impact Is Administrative, Not Diagnostic — The biggest gains today are in documentation, forms, and workflow relief, not autonomous clinical decision-making.2. Insight Without Protocol Is Noise — A risk score means nothing unless a care team has defined what to do with it.3. Healthcare Moves at the Speed of Trust — Technology adoption depends less on capability and more on clinician confidence and governance.4. AI Agents Shift from Answers to Action — Moving from chat-based support to systems that execute tasks will redefine clinical workflow.5. Eighty Percent of Patient Concerns Are Low Risk — Smart triage and education can filter noise and reduce unnecessary visits.6. Digital Care Journeys Reduce Variation — Personalized, just-in-time guidance lowers anxiety, shortens length of stay, and reduces readmissions.7. Integration Determines Survival — Tools that do not fit directly into existing EMRs and workflows will not scale.8. Execution Beats Hype — The future of AI in healthcare will be shaped by implementation, not model sophistication.Episode Timestamps01:52 – AI Boom or Bust: What Actually Changes Care03:23 – Predictive Analytics vs Documentation: The Real “Low Hanging Fruit”12:19 – What Is an AI Agent: Chatbot vs Agentic AI16:39 – The Biggest Barrier: Trust, Not Just Privacy22:27 – Why Joshua Chose Startups Over Residency: SeamlessMD Origin Story25:55 – Building Digital Care Journeys: From Surgery to “Birth to Death”30:17 – AI Inside Patient Journeys: Answers Grounded in Vetted Protocols42:03 – The Next Decade: Computer Vision, Robotics, and Physical AIDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Send a textWhat does it take for behavior analysts to make a real impact in classrooms—not just on paper, but in the day-to-day reality teachers face?In this episode, Dr. Paulie sits down with Neelima Duncan, CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization that provides clinical services and partners directly with schools to support educators and students. The conversation grew out of a leadership moment that caught Dr. Paulie's attention—staff speaking about their CEO with pride, respect, and ownership. That kind of culture doesn't happen by accident. It reflects leadership that shows up in behavior.From there, the discussion moves into the heart of the work: how behavior analysts can effectively consult in classrooms, support teachers without overwhelming them, and help schools build systems that actually improve student outcomes.This is a practical conversation about the intersection of ABA, education, and leadership—where technical knowledge meets real-world constraints.In This Episode, You'll LearnHow Blue Sky Behavior Therapy partners with schools to support classroom successWhy the effectiveness of a leader—or a consultant—is reflected in the behavior of the people they supportWhat behavior analysts must understand about classroom realities before recommending interventionsHow to work with teachers as partners rather than positioning yourself as the outside expertWhy simple, practical strategies that produce quick wins drive implementationHow strong leadership inside organizations translates into better support for schools and studentsKey ThemesLeadership You Can See The true measure of leadership is found in how staff behave, speak, and engage when the leader isn't in the room.Consultation That Builds Capacity The goal is not to create dependence on the behavior analyst. The goal is to help teachers feel confident, capable, and successful managing their own classrooms.Context Drives Implementation Interventions only work when they fit the time, demands, and pressures teachers are already navigating.Behavior Is the Common Language Whether you are a teacher, a school leader, or a CEO, performance, culture, and outcomes all come back to behavior and the contingencies shaping it.About the GuestNeelima Duncan is the founder and CEO of Blue Sky Behavior Therapy, an organization providing ABA services across clinic and school settings. Blue Sky partners with educators to deliver practical, classroom-based behavioral support while building systems that improve outcomes for both students and staff. Website: blueskybx.comWho Should ListenSchool-based BCBAs and behavior specialistsSpecial education directors and district leadersTeachers working with behavioral consultantsOrganizations providing ABA services in school settingsAnyone responsible for improving classroom behavior and instructional timeWhy This Conversation MattersSchools don't need more programs. They need support that fits real classrooms. When behavior analysts understand the environment, build relationships, and focus on practical impact, consultation becomes a powerful tool for improving both student behavior and teacher confidence.Click here to explore the Parent & Care Giving Courses today!

Hospital Shutdown, Ransomware Surge, Fortinet Failures A hospital doesn't cancel chemotherapy appointments because of a “technical issue.” They cancel them because they've lost operational control. This week, the University of Mississippi Medical Center shut down its entire network after a ransomware attack disrupted systems — including Epic. Clinics closed. Elective procedures paused. Outpatient services halted. Emergency operations activated. Leadership described the shutdown as precautionary. But here's the real question executives should be asking: Why was a full network shutdown necessary? If segmentation is validated… If identity governance is enforced… If lateral movement detection is operationalized… Why does the only safe option become “turn it all off”? In this episode of Security Squawk, we break down what this incident signals about containment confidence, governance maturity, and operational resilience — not just in healthcare, but across every industry that depends on uptime. And we zoom out. Because UMMC isn't happening in isolation. According to TechRadar, ransomware groups have reached an all-time high in 2025. The victim growth rate has doubled. Qilin and other affiliate-driven operators are scaling aggressively. This isn't random chaos. It's industrialization. More fragmentation. More specialization. More execution discipline on the criminal side. Healthcare, public sector, and critical infrastructure are being economically targeted because downtime equals leverage. When systems go dark, negotiation pressure spikes. Then we connect it to something many leaders are still underestimating: Fortinet exploitation patterns. Edge vulnerabilities. VPN credential harvesting. Reinfection cycles months after patches were released. The vulnerability itself isn't the story. The response maturity is. Attackers are repeatedly probing whether organizations: – Patch fast enough – Rotate exposed credentials – Reset trust boundaries after compromise – Validate segmentation integrity – Rebuild identity confidence When those governance steps are skipped, attackers come back. That's not a tooling failure. That's a leadership failure. This episode translates three headlines into one hard truth: Ransomware is no longer just a malware problem. It's a containment confidence problem. For CEOs: If you cannot isolate an intrusion without shutting down revenue operations, your resilience model is fragile. For IT Directors: Active Directory recovery is not a restore-from-backup event. It's a trust re-establishment event. For MSPs: Client environments are operating in a denser criminal ecosystem. Tool stacking without maturity validation will not scale. For Risk Leaders: Financial exposure is no longer limited to ransom. Revenue interruption, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage compound quickly — especially in healthcare. We also discuss: • Why attacker communication often signals a second phase • Why affiliate ransomware models are accelerating • Why segmentation validation will become a board-level metric • Why detection speed does not equal governance strength Security Squawk exists to translate cybersecurity chaos into business reality — without vendor spin and without hype.

Most clinics think the only way to get more patients is by spending more on ads. But here's the truth: you don't need a bigger ad budget to grow — you just need to convert more of the enquiries you're already getting. In this episode, I'll show you exactly how clinics are using AI to: ✅ Respond instantly to new patient enquiries (day or night) ✅ Follow up consistently with every lead until they book ✅ Personalise conversations to handle objections and nurture patients ✅ Reduce missed opportunities from after-hours calls and social media messages ✅ Fill the appointment book without hiring more staff or spending more on ads

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! As the canine rehab field continues to grow, competition is increasing—and many clinics are trying to stand out by adding more equipment, more certifications, or newer modalities. But after helping hundreds of canine rehabpreneurs build their businesses, one thing has become clear: those things don't create differentiation. In this episode, we explore what truly makes a canine rehab clinic stand out: the experience you design for your clients. Inspired by how Disney builds unforgettable experiences (not just rides), we'll break down how to move beyond selling modalities and instead create a clear journey, emotional buy-in, and meaningful outcomes that pet parents actually value—and are happy to pay for. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Episode 338 hosts Chloe McGrath (Founder & Director of The Aesthetic Collective from Sydney, Australia)⁠ In this episode we explore how cosmetic clinics should market and brand themselves in 2026. Chloe shares her background in aesthetics and explains why her agency works exclusively within the sector, prioritising compliance and close alignment with the regulators. We discuss common misconceptions including the belief that clinical skills alone can build a successful clinic and the serious risk of regulatory breaches when using a non-aesthetic marketing agency. Our conversation covers key growth drivers including the limitations of word-of-mouth referrals, the importance of multiple patient touchpoints before booking, and the challenge of accurately tracking attribution. We on practical, capacity-based marketing strategies for solo injectors versus scaling clinics, highlighting Meta ads as a cost-effective option when geographically and demographically targeted. 00:00 Introduction 04:15 Regulations, Compliance & Why Conservative Marketing Wins 06:37 Clinician vs Entrepreneur: How Mature Are Clinics in 2026? 10:58 When Marketing Goes Wrong: Distressed Clinics, Debt & TGA Letters 13:36 What Actually Drives Growth: Word of Mouth Limits & 7–10 Touchpoints 16:45 Content Myths: Posting Frequency, Quality vs Spam & The Algorithm 19:17 Brand Foundations: Defining Your Identity, Values & Target Patient 22:41 Men in Aesthetics: Why It's Still 90% Women + The Longevity Angle 27:39 What Makes a Clinic Successful Now: Beyond Price & Chain Clinics 29:10 Scaling the Team: Getting Patients to Trust New Injectors 32:22 Capacity vs Growth: Balancing Regulars, New Patients & Rebookings 33:24 Choosing Your Business Model: Solo Injector vs Scaling a Clinic 37:28 Branding Beyond a Logo: Consistency Across Every Touchpoint 41:14 Culture Is the Brand: Team Energy, Retention & Patient Experience 44:12 From DIY to Pro: Rebrands, Diplomacy & Why Cohesion Builds Credibility 45:51 Marketing Budgets That Work: Meta Ads, Content Shoots & What to Spend 55:35 Word of Mouth vs Acquisition: Retention Math & Why You Still Need Marketing 57:49 Action Steps + The Future: Fix Your Basics, Sanity-Check Messaging & Wrap-Up ALL IA LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION JOIN THE WAITING LIST FOR IA COMMUNITY (OUR NEW APP)

Dr. Sterling Carter served his country in three wartime operations before hanging up his combat boots and picking up a different mission: building a physical therapy practice that actually changes lives.But year three almost broke him.Revenue was growing. So were expenses. And Sterling found himself working harder without getting further ahead. Something had to change.In this episode, Sterling shares exactly how he restructured his marketing tactics to stop the bleeding, the patented Sterling Treatment Method that sets his clinics apart, and his aggressive plan to open 20 locations by 2030, launching a new clinic every single quarter.We dig into:• The real numbers behind patient acquisition• How military leadership translates into high performance clinic culture• What most practice owners get wrong about scaling• Why revenue growth does not always equal freedom• The mindset shift required to build a multi location operationIf you have ever felt like you are growing your revenue but not your freedom, this episode is for you.Check out more of Dr. Sterling's work:https://sterlingtherapy.com/our-team/dr-sterling-l-carter/====EARNINGS DISCLAIMERThe results discussed in this episode are not typical.

After a failed IVF cycle, the pressure to move quickly into the next one can feel overwhelming. Clinics often encourage momentum. Emotionally, it can feel safer to stay in motion than to pause. But rushing into another IVF cycle too quickly can quietly reinforce the same biological conditions that shaped the last outcome. If you've been told to increase stimulation, change protocols, or "just try again," this episode challenges that reflex. Because before another round begins, the more important question is: What actually needs to shift in the biology? In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, we explore why recovery windows matter after a failed IVF cycle and how back-to-back stimulation can compound physiological stress, especially in cases of low AMH, embryo arrest, or recurrent implantation failure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why stacking IVF cycles too closely can affect cellular energy and egg development How hormonal rhythm and communication break down when recovery time is skipped The hidden impact of inflammation and immune load between cycles Why more medication does not always mean better coordination inside the system How to recognize when repetition is happening without recalibration IVF is physically and emotionally demanding. Medications, procedures, disrupted sleep, and stress all increase the body's workload. Biology improves during recovery windows, not during nonstop stimulation. Strategic pauses are not delays. They are opportunities for recalibration. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

Garrett shares his background as a college hockey player and physics major whose injuries and frustration with traditional PT led him to functional neurology, direct current stimulation, and ultimately creating NEUBIE after years of clinical work in Austin and graduate study in neuroscience. They discuss NEUBIE's "mapping" process to identify guarding, excess tension, inhibition, and hypersensitivity patterns, and how direct current can accelerate neuromuscular reeducation to quickly change function—highlighting examples like improved shoulder range of motion in a single session and the "master reset" vagus nerve stimulation-style protocol for recovery. Garrett explains New Fit's growth to 400–500 U.S. clinics plus international distributors, mentions exposure through athletes like Saquon Barkley and discussions on Joe Rogan's podcast, and outlines research including a 150-patient diabetic peripheral neuropathy study comparing TENS (AC) to NEUBIE (DC), showing significant improvements in pain, sensation, ADLs, EMG amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity with direct current. For gym owners and performance facilities—especially those serving older populations—Garrett covers applications for loading muscles with less joint strain, references bodybuilding use (including Dexter Jackson's reported leg improvements leading to a 4th-place Mr. Olympia finish at age 50), and cites University of South Florida studies showing similar acute responses and 8-week muscle growth compared to traditional resistance training.

Your weekly report from Abobolandia is here, it's hot, and it's served up fresh with a heavy dollop of snark. The attacks on the abortion pill mifepristone continue. HHS just said pharmacies don't have to stock abortion pills anymore. Cool cool cool. Totally normal functioning democracy stuff.Meanwhile, manufacturers of the pill are gearing up to fight what could become a national telehealth abortion ban, and for once we're actually rooting for Big Pharma. We won't make it a thing, we promise. GUEST ROLL CALL:Moji and Lizz sit down with Amy Hagstrom Miller, President & CEO of Whole Woman's Health, who is providing telehealth abortion care in 10 states while the federal government plays regulatory roulette with people's bodies. Independent clinics still provide the majority of abortion care in this country. Yes, indie clinics, not hospital systems, not corporations, and they are being squeezed from every direction. Then musician and activist Gwen Levey pulls up to talk to Moji about using her voice loudly in a moment when silence is complicity, and especially as the DOJ refuses to meaningfully pursue accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Her video, “Barefoot & Pregnant,” recently went viral for highlighting the atrocities of Project 2026. Institutions bending over backwards for predators and cracking down on bodily autonomy is all part of their plan. But never, fear!

Many hearing clinics don't struggle with pricing because their fees are wrong, they struggle because of how those fees are framed, explained, and emotionally positioned. In this episode, Oli breaks down why clinicians often feel uncomfortable talking about price, how subtle language choices undermine perceived value, and why confidence around fees is a trust signal, not a sales tactic.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat for our 100th episode. Today we tackle a challenge that touches millions yet remains widely misunderstood: falls and balance loss in aging adults.Host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dan Metcalfe, Founder and CEO of Born SuperHuman and Total Balance Company, to challenge the dangerous assumption that falling is just "part of getting older." They reveal how falls are actually the number one cause of death in older adults, not because bodies weaken, but because the brain-to-body connection deteriorates when we stop challenging our neurological systems. Dan shares groundbreaking insights from training over 70,000 people, explaining why traditional strength training misses the mark and how proper balance work can add eight years of quality life.Drawing from his own journey from paralysis after a stage accident to competing in Ironman races following partial brain death, Dan explains the neuroscience behind balance, fear, and movement. He breaks down how the cerebellum, the pyramis, and neuroplasticity work together, why "muscle memory" is actually neuron memory, and how mental rehearsal can be as powerful as physical practice. Most importantly, he offers practical, accessible strategies anyone can use to prevent falls and reclaim independence.Dr. Metcalfe shares transformative stories, from Bob Eubanks going from wheelchair-bound to running at 79, to his own mother returning to line dancing after a stroke. They explore why static balance tests fail us, how fear creates the very falls we're trying to avoid, and why playing like a kid again might be the most powerful longevity tool we're ignoring.If you've ever worried about losing your independence, watched a loved one shuffle in fear, or wondered whether aging really means slowing down, you won't want to miss this evidence-based, hope-filled conversation.Dan Metcalfe's Links : http://totalbalancecompany.com/ & https://bornsuperhuman.com/Episode Takeaways1. Falls Are Preventable, Not Inevitable – Falls are the number one cause of death in older adults, but they're caused by lost brain-body connection, not aging itself.2. Balance Is Brain-Led, Not Body-Built – Traditional strength training misses the point. Balance comes from neurological pathways, not muscle strength.3. Muscle Memory Doesn't Exist – What we call muscle memory is actually neuron memory. The brain fires signals to muscles through repetitive neural pathways.4. Fear Creates the Falls We're Trying to Avoid – The pyramis in the cerebellum holds movement fear memories, causing the cautious shuffle that increases fall risk.5. Static Balance Tests Are Misleading – Standing on one leg without moving only uses three brain regions. Real balance requires dynamic movement engaging 18+ brain areas.6. Better Balance Adds Eight Years of Quality Life – French study of 1,300 women proved those in the top 30% for balance lived eight years longer with better function.7.

This month, Children's Minnesota will pause some gender-affirming care. The health system announced Tuesday that starting Feb. 27, it will stop prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to patients under 18. Hospitals and clinics around the country are under pressure from the Trump Administration. It's proposed ending Medicaid and Medicare funding for providers that continue these treatments to minors. One of the providers that will likely take on patients who had gone to Children's Minnesota is Family Tree Clinic. MPR News host Kelly Gordon spoke with Family Tree's Executive Director Annie Van Avery to explain the significance of the decision.

In this episode of Chewing It Over, Jack is joined by Joshua Catlett, former physio, founder of Bodyset, and now founder of Verilo, to unpack the realities of buying and selling MSK clinics—and why it's far more complex than most owners expect. Joshua explains that for many clinic owners, a sale is a once-in-a-lifetime event with huge consequences: get it right and it can be life-changing; get it wrong and you can lose money, damage reputation, or sell to the wrong buyer.A key theme is preparation and timing. Joshua warns against selling out of necessity (lease pressure, staff loss, burnout), and encourages owners to plan ahead so they can sell from a position of strength. He also challenges a common assumption: the “natural” exit via associate buyout is often more myth than reality, with fewer clinicians wanting (or able) to buy practices today due to funding constraints and higher borrowing costs .The conversation highlights why some practices aren't truly “saleable”—often because they're essentially a job: highly owner-dependent revenue, home-based setups, or limited transferable infrastructure. Joshua outlines the main levers that increase valuation and buyer confidence: reducing owner dependency by building a team, securing strong premises and lease terms (ideally 5+ years remaining), and lowering risk for the buyer .They also discuss the brokerage landscape, contrasting passive “listing” brokers with high-end corporate finance, and positioning Verillo in the middle: structured, strategic, and specialist. The episode closes with practical advice: prepare early, stabilise key risks, and get the right representation—because structured sales processes tend to achieve higher prices and higher completion ratesFREE GUIDE HERE
