Conventional platelets last five to seven days. Cryopreserved platelets last two years. So why aren't we using them everywhere? In this episode of the eCritCare Podcast, Dr Swapnil Pawar sits down with Professor Michael Reade, intensivist, researcher and chief investigator of the CLIP-II trial, published in JAMA in 2026. CLIP-II randomised 388 high-risk cardiac surgical patients across 11 Australian hospitals and compared cryopreserved platelets with standard liquid-stored platelets in the 202 who needed a transfusion. The headline result: cryopreserved platelets did not meet the pre-specified 20% non-inferiority margin for chest drain bleeding in the first 24 hours. But as Professor Reade explains, that is only part of the story. In this conversation: Why cardiac surgery was the right population, and the platelet transfusion risk calculator that came out of it How the team achieved double blinding with blood products (and what may have unblinded clinicians anyway) Why 20% was chosen as the non-inferiority margin What "could not conclude non-inferiority" actually means, and why 13% of not very much is not very much The mortality signal and what it does and does not tell us Would he give frozen platelets to a bleeding patient in a regional hospital? Yes.

Solutiance AG Elevator Pitch PresentationIn this Elevator Pitch on seat11a, Jonas Enderlein, CEO of Solutiance AG, explains how the company combines technology and physical services to digitalise facility management for owners and operators of real estate portfolios.Digitalising Traditional Facility ManagementSolutiance addresses a structural weakness in traditional facility management: services and software are typically separated. Conventional service providers perform the required work on site, but analogue processes can result in inefficient workflows, inconsistent service quality and insufficient data. Standalone software can provide a better technological foundation, but requires implementation, training and upfront investment while still depending on users to maintain complete and accurate information.Smartsourcing Model and Facility Scanner PlatformSolutiance combines these two worlds through its Smartsourcing model. Its own employees and external service providers work within digital processes supported by Solutiance's technology and, increasingly, artificial intelligence. At the centre is the company's Facility Scanner platform, which coordinates workflows and captures the information generated during service delivery.Digital Twin Technology for Real Estate PortfoliosAs work is performed, Solutiance creates a digital twin of the building for the relevant trade. Property owners therefore receive both the physical service and a continuously developing digital data foundation. This allows customers to monitor service delivery, access asset information and make decisions based on portfolio data rather than relying primarily on manual reporting or incomplete information.Recurring Revenue and Subscription-Based ServicesThe commercial model combines an initial onboarding fee for creating the digital twin with subsequent subscription-based services. According to management, this means that the majority of Solutiance's revenue is either recurring or returning. Every service performed also leaves a digital trace within Facility Scanner, potentially strengthening the data foundation and customer relationship over time.Scalable Technology Platform and Artificial IntelligenceThe model is designed to be highly scalable. As Solutiance adds services, it can use the existing technology infrastructure, digital processes, property data and service network across a broader part of the customer's building portfolio. AI provides another potential efficiency lever as more workflows become automated or digitally supported.Long-Term Vision for Full-Service Property CoverageThe company's longer-term vision is particularly important to the equity story: Solutiance intends to continuously expand its service portfolio until it can provide full-service property coverage, effectively enabling customers to operate complete buildings through Solutiance's technology and service ecosystem.▶️ Other videos:Elevator Pitch: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-elevator-pitch/Company Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-company-presentation/Deep Dive Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-deep-dive/Financial Results Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-financial-results/ESG Presentation: https://seat11a.com/investor-relations-esg/T&CThis publication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. By using seat11a.com, you agree to our terms and conditions outlined on www.seat11a.com/legal and www.seat11a.com/imprint.

If you've spent years trying to move with a "flat back" or bracing your core like you're about to be punched, you've likely noticed that it doesn't really reduce your pain. If anything you are just getting tighter and more uncomfortable. Conventional fitness advice tells us to stabilize and stiffen to protect our spines, but modern pain science reveals a different reality.Your nervous system has likely forgotten how to let go of the "emergency brake," a phenomenon known as sensory motor amnesia. In this episode, we move from the theory of last week into a clear, evidence-based roadmap for teaching your body that it is safe to be supple, mobile, and strong again.What You'll Discover:The Flexion Relaxation Paradox: Why healthy spines actually "shut off" their muscles when bending forward, while pained backs stay stuck in a hyper-vigilant electrical fire.The Ischemia of Bracing: How white-knuckle core clenching chokes off blood supply to your tissues, triggering the very pain you're trying to avoid.The 12-Week Roadmap: A look at the 4 distinct phases—from floor-based somatics to progressive resistance—required to rebuild a body that can lift groceries or barbells without fear.Referenced Science:Van Dieen, J.

Are We Killing Our Pets with Dr. Judy Morgan | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 91Are We Killing Our Pets? That's the question Jason Yun poses in this powerful conversation with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan on the Improvement Warrior Podcast. Conventional care—ultra-processed kibble, annual vaccines, chemical flea/tick preventatives, and corporate-driven protocols—has coincided with exploding rates of cancer, kidney disease, allergies, and shortened lifespans in dogs and cats. Dr. Morgan, with 40+ years of integrative experience, pulls no punches on what's going wrong and how pet parents can take back control with species-appropriate food, smarter vaccination strategies, and natural therapies.Welcome back to the Improvement Warrior Podcast. If you're new, this is the show where we go beyond calories and cardio and talk about the things that actually move the needle: light, mitochondria, circadian biology, and now… the animals who share our homes.I recently lost my own dog. That experience, combined with everything I've learned about how environment and inputs shape biology, made me ask a hard question: Are we accidentally killing our pets with the very care we think is protecting them?Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT—integrative veterinarian, bestselling author, and one of the loudest, most consistent voices for naturally healthy pets. She retired from clinical practice after 36 years and now educates millions of pet parents on real food, reduced chemical load, smarter vaccination, and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.This conversation is going to challenge a lot of what you've been told at the vet's office. Grab your notebook. Let's go.Detailed Timestamp with Show Highlights0:00 – 7:45 — Jason's cold open, personal story of losing his dog, why this episode matters, and the core thesis: light + environment + inputs apply to pets too.7:45 – 14:20 — Dr. Judy's background: 40+ years in practice, shift from conventional to integrative, why she left clinical work to educate at scale.14:20 – 22:10 — The rise in chronic disease: cancer, kidney failure, allergies, IBD. What's changed in the last 20–30 years?22:10 – 31:40 — Ultra-processed kibble and “all life stages” foods. Why feeding trials and marketing claims don't equal health. Fresh, raw, and homemade options.31:40 – 41:15 — Vaccines: core vs. non-core, titer testing vs. automatic boosters, over-vaccination risks, and informed consent.41:15 – 49:50 — Flea, tick, and heartworm chemicals (especially isoxazolines). Detox realities and safer alternatives.49:50 – 57:30 — Antibiotics, steroids, and “quick-fix” drugs. Gut microbiome damage and why treating the patient (not just the symptom) matters.57:30 – 64:00 — Practical first steps every pet parent can take this week: food upgrades, asking for titers, reducing chemical load, light and outdoor time.64:00 – 67:50 — Where to find Dr. Judy, her books, courses, store, and closing thoughts on becoming your pet's advocate.Resource SectionDr. Judy Morgan's main site & store: https://drjudymorgan.com / https://naturallyhealthypets.comDr. Judy U (courses): https://www.drjudyu.comNaturally Healthy Pets Podcast (Dr. Judy's show)REMEMBER ALL BOOKS ON THE WEBSITE ARE 50% OFF WITH CODE YUN50: Books by Dr. Judy Morgan (available on her site and Amazon): Raising Naturally Healthy Pets, From Needles to Natural, and othersTruth About Pet Food (Susan Thixton): https://truthaboutpetfood.comBLOG POST/SHOW NOTES from episode: ImprovementWarriorFitness.com/healthypetsImprovement Warrior Newsletter: improvementwarriorfitness.com/nlSupport the show on Patreon: improvementwarriorfitness.com/patreonSupport the show on Substack: http://improvementwarrior.substack.comBuy Jason a cup of raw milk: improvementwarriorfitness.com/kofi

This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.volts.wtf/subscribeZanskar argues that the US is badly underestimating its conventional geothermal resources — that there are far more undiscovered hydrothermal systems, and that each one can produce far more power, than people think. They think AI can help find those resources, and they have drilled three sites to back it up, including a “blind” discovery in Nevada with no surface signs and no prior exploratory wells. If they're right, terawatts of firm, carbon-free power are reachable with off-the-shelf drilling technology. Co-founders Carl Hoiland and Joel Edwards make the case.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction03:29 – Heat, permeability, and how resources have been found04:49 – Why conventional geothermal stalled, and why the estimate is stale09:22 – Applying AI to old exploration data11:10 – The data Zanskar works with13:09 – Models, field testing, and the feedback loop15:02 – How much more resource is really out there20:22 – Lightning Dock: reviving a written-off field22:14 – What has changed in drilling technology28:37 – Pumpernickel and the permeability question31:08 – Natural permeability vs. enhanced geothermal34:21 – Big Blind, the first blind discovery in 30 years37:09 – Improving the models to keep getting better40:51 – Financing exploration: the development capital facility44:38 – The NV Energy PPA and data center demand47:42 – The skeptical case and geographic limits54:20 – Policy dependence and public lands58:11 – What's next for Zanskar

David Hochberg, Vice President of Lending for Team Hochberg at Atlantic Coast Mortgage and host of Home Sweet Home Chicago on WGN Radio, joins the Lisa Dent Show to discuss the 2.1% rise of the four-week average of U.S. home listings, the increase in inflation and interest rates, and much more!

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Rethinking Bone Health: Osteoporosis, Exercise and Essential Nutrients [0:04:00] Clint's New Book & Ed's eBooks/Publishing Plans Clint introduces his new book: Title: The Room with No Doors: How We Trap Ourselves Defending Our Excuses. Format: Paperback + Kindle, includes some work sections at the back. Focuses on seven common excuses we use to avoid trying solutions, trapping ourselves. Available on Amazon; early sales have pushed it into top rankings in certain Kindle and paperback categories. Another book is already written and queued for release around late October / early November. Ed discusses his own Holistic Navigator eBooks: Topics: staying healthy, getting healthy, sleep, oral hygiene, oxalates, AI for fat loss, the “Core Four” foundational supplements, etc. Currently on theholisticnavigator.com; Ed plans to follow Clint's lead and bring them to Amazon/Kindle. [0:06:37[ Labor Day, Nutrition World Shopify Rollout Ed shares that this Labor Day marks a huge milestone for Nutrition World: Full migration to a Shopify-based system for online business. Compared to the massive move years ago from Brainerd Village to Lee Highway, this is framed as the second biggest event in decades. Acknowledges it's been extremely expensive and complex, but promises major improvements in convenience and efficiency for customers. Announcement: Lisa Bloom (lactation expert from Knoxville) has joined Nutrition World: Deep experience helping mothers through lactation challenges. Notes that without support, ~50% of mothers quit breastfeeding due to difficulty. Lisa will offer consultations at Be Well Labs (near Nutrition World), bookable via NutritionW.com / BeginWithLabs.com. [0:09:50] “Teacher of the Week” & Chronic Pain as a Brain Response Ed introduces a recurring concept: “Teacher of the Week” – highlighting sources of health wisdom. This week's teacher: “Pain Free You” (YouTube channel). Ed has personally counseled with the creator. Core idea: a large portion of chronic pain is generated by the brain as a protective distraction from emotional pain or unresolved inner issues. Featured video: “You Are Not Sick, You Are Scared.” Distinguishes between: Structural pain (like Clint's hip, back, knee issues – “flat tires”) where anatomy is clearly damaged. Chronic, shifting, unexplained pain where the nervous system and fear may be the primary drivers. [0:13:33] Upcoming Events September 16 – Talk at Nutrition World by Katie Poole on optimizing fertility. October 24 – Large-scale Health Fair [0:17:44] Segment with Dr. Curt Dearing: Osteoporosis, Osteopenia & Bone Health Clint re‑introduces the show and brings in Dr. Curt Dearing, clinical pharmacist (~35 years' experience). Curt previews the segment (osteoporosis/osteopenia) and contrasts: Conventional approach: heavy on calcium supplements and prescription drugs (e.g., bisphosphonates like Fosamax). Holistic approach: broader lifestyle interventions – targeted nutrients (vitamin D, vitamin K2, vitamin C, boron, strontium), exercise, and fall prevention. Key critiques of conventional diagnosis: The T‑score system compares bone density to that of a young adult, effectively turning normal age-related bone loss into a “disease.” Similar over‑medicalization compared to blood pressure and cholesterol, which also naturally shift with age. Concerns about bisphosphonates (e.g., Fosamax): Originated from chemicals used to soften irrigation water. Improve bone density numbers on scans but can create denser yet more brittle bones. Side effects: Esophageal ulcerations if not taken properly (must sit upright with full glass of water). Rare but devastating jawbone degeneration (osteonecrosis of the jaw). Long‑term use may increase hip fractures; minimal benefit in men and women > 80. Real fracture risk driver: falls, not just bone density. Most fractures in the elderly occur in people without osteoporosis. Priorities: Muscle mass and strength. Cognitive function to reduce fall risk. Lifestyle foundation for bone health: Exercise is primary: Weight‑bearing and high‑intensity training. Weighted vest especially beneficial for lighter women (they lack constant load on bones). General recommendation: 30–60 minutes, 3–4 times per week, with heart rate around 120 minus age for cardio work (not necessarily with the vest). Diet and acid load: Excess acid‑forming foods (grains, dairy, meat, coffee, sugar) can create acidosis, prompting the body to pull minerals (like calcium) from bone to buffer pH. Malabsorption issues (celiac, GI problems, proton pump inhibitors like Nexium) reduce absorption of calcium, magnesium, etc. Supplement strategy: Calcium: important but typical 1,200 mg/day is likely too high; better range 400–1,000 mg, depending on diet. Excess isolated calcium can increase fracture risk. Vitamin D + Vitamin K2 (MK‑7 form): K2 directs calcium out of arteries and into bones. D and K work synergistically; many combo formulas under‑dose D and K, so often need separate higher‑dose D/K. Optimal vitamin D blood levels: generally 60–70 ng/mL; anything under 40 is likely deficient. Toxicity is rare; usually only with abuse of high‑dose (50,000 IU daily instead of weekly). Other helpful nutrients: Vitamin C, boron, strontium. Strontium should be taken separate from calcium/bone formulas. Vitamin K and blood thinners: Vitamin K is crucial not only for clotting but also for bone and cardiovascular health. Only warfarin (Coumadin) users must tightly regulate vitamin K. Newer anticoagulants (Eliquis, Xarelto) do not require vitamin K restriction. [0:39:03] Segment 3: Labs, Spike Protein, Long COVID & Upcoming “Chicken” Episode Ed shares he is getting blood work at Be Well Labs (BeginWithLabs.com): Specifically testing spike protein levels due to curiosity about long COVID. References a previous guest MD who had repeated COVID infections and very high spike protein levels (~870 vs. normal 30% body fat, exercising less than 3x/week. Caffeine doses tested: 3 mg/kg (roughly 200–210 mg for Ed's weight). 5 mg/kg (~300 mg). 9 mg/kg (~500 mg). Findings: 3–5 mg/kg significantly increased fat oxidation vs. placebo. 9 mg/kg gave no added benefit and led to side effects (nervousness, higher blood pressure). Real‑world translation: About 200–300 mg caffeine pre‑exercise appears ideal for fat‑burning benefits. Examples: Starbucks grande cold brew: ~205 mg. Starbucks grande hot coffee: ~310 mg. Ed plans to use caffeine for life, especially pre‑gym, in this moderate dose range. [0:48:08] Xylitol & Cardiovascular Risk Discussion of new research linking xylitol intake to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE): Study of ~17,000 people, average age ~61, over 6–30 years. Higher intakes of xylitol were associated with increased risk of cardiac events. Mechanism: around 30 g of xylitol can increase platelet aggregation, thickening the blood and potentially increasing clot risk. Practical implications: Chewing gum with xylitol is likely low risk due to small doses. Biggest concern: 16‑oz canned drinks heavily sweetened with xylitol. Nutrition World will scan store beverages and aim to transition away from xylitol‑sweetened drinks toward stevia‑based options. Brief note: some emerging chatter on stevia and possible neurological effects, but Ed notes that appears tied to genetic vulnerabilities, whereas xylitol issues may be more generalized. [0:50:38] Post‑Stomach Bug Recovery: What to Eat Guidance for recovering from stomach bugs (vomiting/diarrhea): Immediate phase: simple, gentle foods like broth. Special protocol (especially for kids): green bananas + rice. Research suggests green bananas plus rice work significantly better than rice alone for recovery. Crucial step: reintroduce protein as soon as symptoms improve. Protein speeds recovery and supports healing. Early on, protein may be easier to drink (e.g., smoothies, shakes) than to eat as solids. [0:56:48] Fauci Advisor Indictment, EMFs/5G/6G & Final Thoughts Ed mentions news that David Morens, MD (former senior advisor to Anthony Fauci at NIAID) pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and could face up to 5 years. Framed as part of a broader process of information “coming out” about the COVID era. EMFs, 5G, and coming 6G: Ed reiterates concerns about EMF/5G exposure and its effects on neurochemistry. Notes that 6G is expected around 2030, raising new concerns. Mentions his use of Blue Shield EMF mitigation devices in the bedroom and for family. Clarifies these do not “block” EMFs (only physical shielding like silver fabric can) but are intended to help the body adapt to EMF stress. Amish & vaccine mandates (brief mention): Amish communities in New York reportedly threatened mass exodus over pressure around vaccines, raising questions about medical mandates and rights. Ed closes with a quality‑of‑life perspective: His goal is not necessarily to live more days, but to live higher‑quality days. Recaps that he's lived “80 mph most of the time” and wants to maintain quality through proactive health choices.

Live on the floor of the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association conference in Round Rock, Texas, April 2026, we've got another full crew around the table: Chris Kuras of Good Dude Concepts, his partner Franco, Kevin Selent from Rogue Targets, and Tom Marchitto of Sub Second. Before a single product gets mentioned, the conversation lands exactly where Iron Sights always does: the people solving problems that their agencies were never going to solve for them, doing it on their own dime, on their own time, while still actively serving on agency teams at multiple capacities.The session digs into three specific problems and the products born out of frustration with each. Kevin Selent breaks down why every conventional paper target on the market may be presenting PID flaws in training, and how Rogue Targets' real-model, background-free, anatomy-based silhouettes force genuine processing speed under stress. Tommy Marchitto traces Sub Second from Jeff Thompson sewing belts in the barracks of 7th Group all the way to the patrol-focused Exigent Response course that exists because body cam footage kept showing the same training deficiencies over and over. And Chris Kuras walks through the full origin of the BRB, from cutting targets with a knife in a dark abandoned mall, to a year of garage prototyping, to a real-world vehicle rescue that saved two small children.Running underneath all of it is a trend that keeps pulling back to the surface: the shift happening right now in the law enforcement training space, where officers still on the job are refusing to wait for agencies to catch up, are sharing curriculum instead of hoarding it, and are building collaborative networks, not competing fiefdoms. The conversation covers processing speed, training time lost to bad setup, the politics of progressive use-of-force policies, what game film from other agencies actually teaches, and why rising tides lift all ships.In this episode:• Conventional paper targets have borders and backgrounds that let shooters see the target before fully processing PID, risk assessment, and the processing speed required for both.• Rogue Targets uses real-model casting calls to produce subjects in multiple positions, skin tones, clothing colors, and threat postures, including seated and ground-level targets, because real warrant service is three-dimensional and bad guys aren't brown cardboard standing in the center of a white wall• Sub Second originated when Jeff Thompson started sewing belts in the barracks of 7th Special Forces Group; the name came from a sub-second draw on the range that day, and the company evolved from common tactical belts to a patrol-specific belt with full MOLLE and no D-ring after agencies pushed back on the buckle• The BRB mounting solution places the bar on a rare-earth magnet behind the pistol on the belt rather than on the vest, solving two problems at once: spalling risk from solid metal against soft armor, and the practical reality that patrol officers need both hands free to breach and then immediately transition to a primary or secondary weapon• Exigent Response for Patrol course was titled deliberately to get past administration, because the phrase 'hostage rescue for patrol' got rejected outright at multiple agencies, even though the actual content is about giving patrol officers the minimum viable skill set to act in the minutes before a team arrives• A neighboring agency incident where a female was stabbed over 100 times validated the BRB in the field: an officer on a regional part-time team used the BRB to break and rake a rear window and pull two small children to safety before the suspect could reach them• The collaboration model running through Good Dude Concepts, Rogue Targets, and Sub Second is explicit: open-source problem solving, no gatekeeping of curriculum, cross-promotion on social media, and a Good Dude scholarship fund where revenue is redirected to sponsor officers to attend training classes• TTPOA stands apart from other law enforcement conferences because the vendors are also the instructors on the live training days, meaning officers are being trained on products by the same people who designed them from field experience, not by admin staff checking a procurement boxChapters:0:01 The Capable Standard: Scott's new project1:51 Iron Sights intro2:34 Live at TTPOA: setting the scene3:52 Chris Kuras and Good Dude Concepts4:54 Franco intro: SWAT and canine handler5:54 Kevin Selent and Rogue Targets7:30 Tommy Marchitto and Sub Second intro33:47 Why conventional targets may not be optimal in the shoot house37:38 How Rogue Targets was born55:55 Sub Second origin story1:00:17 BRB mounting solution and spalling problem1:41:39 Where to find everyone and closing shoutoutsMentioned:Chris Kuras — Owner of Good Dude Concepts, full-time SWAT officer and instructor in South Florida, creator of the BRB breaching tool.Franco — Police officer on SWAT and canine handler in South Florida, colleague of Chris Kuras who attended TTPOA to help with the Good Dude Concepts booth.Kevin Selent — Owner of Rogue Safety Group and creator of Rogue Targets; DHS federal SWAT team member based in Miami with over 16 years on a federal tactical team.Tom Marchitto — Patrol sergeant, K9 handler, and part-time SWAT member from Connecticut, member of the Sub Second team alongside Jeff Thompson.Jeff Thompson — Founder of Sub Second, who started sewing tactical belts in the barracks of 7th Special Forces Group.Devin — Attending TTPOA to help staff the Sub Second booth while Jeff Thompson managed a warehouse move.Kim Pastore — Founder of the Jorge Pastore Foundation, credited with pulling together the Iron Sights recording setup at TTPOA.Paul Costa — Firearms instructor at Achilles Heel Tactical, cited as an example of an instructor whose delivery of information is as instructive as the shooting content itself.Craig Douglas — Founder of ShivWorks, praised for his instructor development style and the clarity with which he delivers information.Scott Oates — Appeared alongside Craig Douglas and Brian Frias at the Combative Summit episode Scott recorded about how to deliver training information.Brian Frias — Appeared alongside Craig Douglas and Scott Oates at the Combative Summit; BJJ black belt and ShivWorks instructor.Tony — Friend and trainer in South Florida who connected Kevin Selent with Chris Kuras by suggesting Kevin Selent call Chris on the day he was testing his first targets.

Dr. Jenn Simmons and Dr. Bradley Campbell unpack why autoimmune disease is rising, why so many patients are dismissed for years, and why symptom suppression alone often makes things worse. This conversation focuses on root causes, especially gut dysfunction, stress, and immune triggers, and explains why individualized care matters more than one-size-fits-all treatment.Dr. Campbell shares how his work evolved from injury care into complex autoimmune cases, while Dr. Simmons brings the perspective of conventional medicine, cancer care, and the limits of training that does not teach health optimization.Key topicsIn this episode, Dr. Simmons opens with a blunt critique of how poorly autoimmune disease is understood in conventional medicine, especially when labs are “normal” but patients are clearly unwell.Dr. Campbell explains how autoimmune cases found him through patients with chronic, rare, and complex conditions that mainstream care could not resolve.We discuss the gap between medical training and real-world health care, including the difference between knowing how to prescribe and knowing how to create health.Dr. Simmons and Dr. Campbell agree that the system rewards sickness management, not healing, and that insurance incentives often push short visits, prescriptions, and procedures over root-cause work.In this episode: low iron is treated as a major red flag for digestive dysfunction, malabsorption, celiac disease, low enzymes, or bile flow problems, not just a number to supplement away.We discuss why proton pump inhibitors can create long-term digestive problems by reducing stomach acid, impairing digestion, and contributing to dysbiosis and infection risk.Dr. Campbell outlines his autoimmune screening approach, including ANA, ENA panels, thyroid antibodies, hormone testing, food sensitivity workups, and broader root-cause diagnostics.The autoimmune triad comes up in detail: genetics, gut dysfunction, and a trigger such as physical trauma, infection, medication, food reaction, or emotional stress.We discuss parasites as a controversial but real variable in some autoimmune cases, especially in the context of protozoa, gut imbalance, and chronic thyroid issues.Dr. Simmons and Dr. Campbell both push back on rigid diets and medical absolutism, arguing for individualized decisions around grains, dairy, nightshades, and autoimmune protocols.The conversation closes with a strong emphasis on stress, nervous system overload, childhood trauma, and the need for quiet, reflection, and community without constant screen input.Timestamps00:00 -

It's titled Nvidia vs. SanDisk: Morgan Stanley Reveals Which AI Stock Is Crowded and Which Is Heavily Under-Owned. It is published on tipranks.com and is by Shalu Saraf. Here's some of what the writer says about Morgan Stanley's analysis of these two stocks. "Story Highlights Nvidia has a 2.53-point ownership gap, the widest among the large-cap tech stocks tracked by Morgan Stanley. SanDisk is 2.30 points above its S&P 500 weighting, making it the most over-owned stock in the group. Nvidia has 37.74% analyst upside, compared with 23.78% for SanDisk, with both stocks carrying Strong Buy ratings. Nvidia NVDA  Is Under-Owned Despite Its Market Size. Nvidia's institutional ownership is 2.53 percentage points below its 7.61% S&P 500 (SPX) weighting, and the gap widened by 14 basis points in the second quarter. That gives Nvidia the widest ownership gap among the large-cap tech stocks in the group. Apple AAPL follows with a 2.33% gap, while Microsoft MSFT and Amazon AMZN have gaps of 1.54% and 1.29%, respectively. SanDisk SNDK  Is the More Crowded Trade. Its institutional ownership is 2.30 percentage points above its 0.35% S&P 500 weighting, making it the most over-owned stock in Morgan Stanley's group. KLA KLAC and Western Digital WDC also rank among the most over-owned names… Morgan Stanley also found that active managers remain heavily invested in memory and storage stocks. Software stocks, including IBM IBM, Oracle ORCL, Palo Alto Networks PANW, ServiceNow NOW, and Adobe ADBE, have much lower ownership. NVDA vs. SNDK: Which Stock Do Analysts Prefer? Wall Street remains bullish on both Nvidia and SanDisk, with both stocks carrying a Strong Buy consensus. Nvidia has the higher average price target of $309.94, implying 37.74% upside. SanDisk's $2,211.76 average target points to 23.78% upside." End quotes ------------------------------------------------------------- Clean Tech Companies - Clean Edge 100 This next article is a good annual ranking of clean tech industries. Companies must include over 50% of their revenues from clean tech activities. The article is titled Clean Tech Companies - Clean Edge 100. It is from and by cleanedge.com. Here are some quotes. "The 2026 Clean Edge 100, our third annual ranking of the 100 top publicly traded clean-tech companies in clean energy, transportation, water, and the grid, finds continued global industry leadership in the U.S., Europe, and China. Eligible clean-tech companies are members of our global equity research universe of more than 800 companies and must receive at least 50% of their revenue from clean-tech activities (pure plays). Companies are ranked according to an equally weighted composite of market capitalization, revenue, and operating profit. Revenue and operating profit are adjusted by business exposure as evaluated by Clean Edge.  U.S., Europe, and China-domiciled companies lead the pack this year with 27, 26, and 22 listings respectively, followed by Brazil with seven and Korea with four, reflecting the diversity of global clean-tech activity. U.S.-domiciled firms accounted for nearly $2.5 trillion of market capitalization ($1.6 trillion from Tesla alone), followed by European Union and U.K. companies with $1.2 trillion and Chinese firms with $716 billion in cumulative market capitalization respectively." End quotes. Incidentally, the top five companies in the ranking are: Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CYATY), GE Vernova, Inc. (GEV), Schneider Electric SE (SU.PA), and ABB Ltd. (ABBN.SW). ------------------------------------------------------------- JUST: How This Ethical ETF Beats Other Large Caps This next article features an ETF that is becoming a favourite. It's titled JUST: How This Ethical ETF Beats Other Large Caps. It's published on etfdb.com and written by Nick Peters-Golden. Here are some quotes from the article. "Do you have clients looking to invest with justice in mind? Younger investors, in particular, are increasingly eager to screen out companies that don't match their ethics. While many ETFs screen out questionable companies, not all manage to deliver strong returns. However, the Goldman Sachs JUST U.S. Large Cap Equity ETF (JUST B) offers a compelling alternative… The index draws from the Russell 1000 and screens for firms that meet its methodology, assessing key areas like diversity, customer privacy, and greenhouse gas emissions… Rather than just focusing on penalizing perceived policy violators, the strategy prioritizes investing in companies doing good. Leveraging that approach, the socially responsible ETF has returned 15.2% YTD, outperforming the ETF Database Large Cap Growth Equities category average of 11.15%, as of August 7. JUST has also delivered strong long-term results, outperforming its category average across one, three, and five-year periods. Over the last five years, the fund has generated a 13% annualized return, beating the Large Cap Growth Equities category average. As advisors look to onboard more clients with particular views and standards, JUST offers a balanced solution of principals and performance."

Whole Blood Is Not a Solution (Until Conventional Forces Can Deliver It)Recorded live at SOMA 26Dr. Vanessa Hanick (emergency physician, former active-duty Army, now National Guard) and 1SG Cy Clayton (Ranger Regiment veteran, currently a conventional Role 2 first sergeant) deliver a blunt assessment of a critical readiness gap: while whole blood is the agreed standard of care for damage control resuscitation, conventional forces remain largely unprepared to provide it in support of SOF or any large-scale operations. Drawing on recent deployment experience, unit surveys, and Joint Trauma System training observations, they outline three lethal capability gaps—planning, logistics, and training—and call for proactive SOF-conventional collaboration, institutional reform, and immediate use of available Joint Trauma System mobile training teams. Sponsored by the Special Operations Medical Association.Key TakeawaysThe 2021 Joint Trauma System / Defense Committee on Trauma position statement establishes whole blood as the resuscitative fluid of choice that must be available at every echelon and on every evacuation platform within 30 minutes of injury. This is an operational standard, not an aspiration.Conventional forces currently fail this standard across three critical gaps: failure to plan (MASCAL and walking blood bank plans are incomplete, unilateral, or nonexistent), logistical incompetence (unreliable cold chain, storage, transport, and warming), and inadequate training (high failure rates on whole blood transfusion even among medics who pass TCCC recertification).Survey data from conventional brigade-sized elements show near-zero SOPs for walking blood banks, minimal storage capacity, zero transport or warming capability in many units, and cold-chain training limited to vaccines rather than blood.SOF leaders and medics cannot assume conventional support will materialize when needed. Early, deliberate linking with conventional Role 1/2 counterparts—sharing knowledge, training together, and validating capabilities—is essential.Joint Trauma System mobile training teams (including the Blood Whole Blood Training Program) already exist and can travel to conventional units to build pre-hospital, Role 2, and Role 3 whole blood and walking blood bank competency. These resources should be used now.In future large-scale combat operations the problem only intensifies; the time to close the gap is before the emergency, not during it.Chapters00:00 – Introduction and disclosures01:30 – Why SOF–conventional collaboration matters now03:40 – The 2021 JTS whole blood standard and its implications05:50 – Three critical capability gaps in conventional forces06:50 – Gap 1: Failure to plan (Kuwait MASCAL and walking blood bank case study)11:20 – Gap 2: Logistical incompetence (cold-chain failures on deployment)13:20 – Gap 3: Training shortfalls (high failure rates on whole blood transfusion)15:40 – Survey data from conventional units: near-zero capabilities19:20 – Institutional, organizational, and individual solutions21:40 – SOF responsibility: link early, train together, validate capabilities24:40 – Joint Trauma System resources and call to action28:00 – Closing remarks

Electricity demand is rising, capital is tightening, and nuclear is back in the conversation as utilities, governments, and large power users look for firm low-carbon supply. But the central question is not whether advanced nuclear can attract interest. It is whether any new design can get far enough ahead on cost, manufacturability, and fuel strategy to break from the economics that have constrained conventional nuclear for decades.Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by Thomas Jam Pedersen, co-founder and CEO of Copenhagen Atomics, to examine one of the more unconventional answers now being put forward: thorium molten salt reactors built around low-pressure operation, standardized manufacturing, and a fuel strategy that could use spent nuclear fuel alongside thorium. Their core argument is that most of the nuclear sector is still trying to improve on a legacy light-water model that may remain too expensive, too complex, and too slow to scale against the pace of future energy demand.A large part of the discussion focuses on what that alternative looks like in practice. Pedersen argues that operating at atmospheric pressure changes the cost and engineering profile of the reactor itself, making smaller units easier to manufacture and potentially easier to deploy repeatedly. He also lays out why Copenhagen Atomics sees spent fuel not only as a waste problem but as a potential input, provided it can be recycled economically and paired with thorium to achieve higher fuel efficiency. The commercial model follows the same logic: standardize the reactor unit, let customers source the rest of the plant locally, and avoid the bespoke, first-of-a-kind economics that have burdened much of the sector.The episode also looks ahead to the harder constraints that will determine whether that thesis holds. Licensing remains slow and expensive, investor appetite is still shaped by the long history of political and regulatory risk in nuclear, and even successful advanced designs are unlikely to make a meaningful dent in global electricity supply before 2035. The takeaway is that the real test for advanced nuclear is no longer just technical credibility. It is whether a new generation of reactor companies can prove they have found a model that lowers cost, reduces deployment risk, and makes nuclear scalable in a very different energy market.This episode is brought to you by twentytwo & brand – a marketing and PR agency built specifically for energy leaders.Lots of agencies say they work with energy companies. twentytwo & brand was built for them.

Can preterm birth be prevented? Historically the answer has been no, and the numbers back that up. In 2006 the U.S. preterm birth rate was about 12 percent. In 2024 it was 10.4 percent. Medicine has gotten dramatically better at keeping premature babies alive, but almost no better at keeping pregnancies from ending early. In this episode, Kristin and Dr. Abdelhak make the case that the answer is yes, preterm birth can be prevented far more often than it is now, and that the field has been looking in the wrong place. Preterm birth is not one condition. It is a grab bag: placental abruption, systemic infection like appendicitis or pyelonephritis, uterine overdistension from twins, triplets, or polyhydramnios, trauma, severe hypertension, stimulant and cocaine use. Every one of those causes announces itself. The woman with triplets is obviously carrying triplets. The woman with an abruption is bleeding and in pain. So what about the woman with none of that, doing everything right, who shows up at 30 weeks contracting and three centimeters dilated? For forty years the answer was "subclinical infection," a diagnosis Dr. Abdelhak takes apart in this episode. If it is subclinical, why is preterm labor the only clinical thing it ever does? Why does an appendicitis start with pain and fever and end in labor, while this mystery infection skips straight to the last step? And after four decades of amniocentesis studies cataloguing cytokines, interleukins, and prostaglandins, where is the treatment? There isn't one, because researchers found exactly what they went looking for. His answer is mechanical, not microbial. The cervix is a timekeeper on the pregnancy. Conventional teaching says contractions open the cervix. He argues it runs the other way: the cervix quietly gives way over weeks, and when it opens far enough, labor starts. That is why he says he is almost never surprised by a preterm labor. He was already watching the cervix shorten. Also covered: why previous preterm birth is the single strongest risk factor (it is the same cervix), why cone biopsy raises risk more than LEEP does, what funneling on ultrasound actually tells you, the difference between classic cervical insufficiency and the milder version that still lets you reach the third trimester, and why a three-hour precipitous labor at 38 weeks may be the same finding wearing a friendlier face. The practical takeaway: serial cervical length measurement for anyone with a red flag, first-time moms included, and cerclage when the cervix starts to open. Screening plus treatment, not a pill for an infection nobody can find. Plus: why the president and Taylor Swift would get their cervix measured every single week, and what that tells you about the standard of care the rest of us are offered. Topics covered, in order Why this topic is worth repeating, and why the framing here is not the conventional one The better question: preventing preterm birth, not preterm labor Fifty years, the March of Dimes, and a rate that has barely moved What we did get better at: neonatal survival and outcomes, not prevention Preterm birth as a grab bag, not a single disease Placental abruption Systemic infection: appendicitis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, severe pneumonia, COVID The subclinical infection theory, and the case against it Why the amniocentesis and cytokine studies found what they set out to find Uterine overdistension: twins, triplets, polyhydramnios Trauma, decidual hemorrhage Severe hypertension, pulsatile flow, and abruption risk before 20 weeks Cocaine, methamphetamine, smoking The patient nobody can explain, and what is actually going on The core claim: dilation causes the contractions, not the other way around Why Dr. Abdelhak is rarely surprised by a preterm labor Mild cervical insufficiency, and "dreamlike" cervical insufficiency at 38 weeks Why previous preterm birth is the number one risk factor LEEP versus cone biopsy, and why cone matters more Normal variation in cervical length, and the big nose analogy Length is not everything: bulk, thickness, and how the cervix feels Funneling on ultrasound as a warning sign The proposal: serial cervical length screening plus cerclage Why the numbers are U.S. numbers, and why international rates are not trustworthy The VIP standard of care, and who actually gets weekly scans Key takeaways Preterm birth is not one condition. Abruption, systemic infection, overdistension, trauma, and severe hypertension each have their own mechanism, and each is usually obvious on arrival. "Subclinical infection" is not a diagnosis, it is a placeholder. Forty years in, it has produced no treatment and no measurable drop in the preterm birth rate. The cervix is the timekeeper. When it is weak, it opens slowly over weeks, and labor follows the opening rather than causing it. Previous preterm birth predicts the next one because it is the same cervix. You cannot order a new one. Cone biopsy raises preterm birth risk more than LEEP, because more cervix is removed. Length is a clue, not a verdict. Plenty of women have naturally short cervixes and carry to term. Funneling, bulk, and change over time matter as much as a single number. The intervention that would move the needle already exists. Serial cervical length measurement in anyone with a risk factor, and cerclage when it starts to open. Screening and treatment, not a mystery pill. Terms mentioned Placental abruption — the placenta separating from the uterine wall before delivery. Pyelonephritis — kidney infection. Polyhydramnios — too much amniotic fluid. Uterine overdistension — the uterus stretched beyond its comfortable capacity, as with twins or triplets. Cervical insufficiency — a cervix that opens without labor. Funneling — the cervix opening from the inside out, visible on ultrasound before any external change. Cerclage — a stitch placed to reinforce the cervix. LEEP and cone biopsy — procedures removing cervical tissue after abnormal Pap or HPV findings. Precipitous labor — a very fast labor, often under three hours. Memorable quotes: "I am telling you what happened was the three centimeters dilated caused the contractions." "If it's subclinical, why doesn't it stay that way?" "The cervix is a mechanical timekeeper on the pregnancy." Got something you want to share or ask? Keep it coming. We love hearing from you.

Send us Fan MailYou've been given two options for how to address what's happening in your body, and both of them have failed you. Conventional medicine told you nothing was wrong. Functional medicine told you everything was wrong and handed you a $2,000 lab panel, a fourteen-supplement stack, and a protocol you couldn't sustain. And somewhere in the middle you've been quietly wondering if you're the problem.You're not. Both models are broken — and not because you haven't found the right practitioner. The entire framework of how they approach your body is wrong.In this episode, Kacey dismantles both models honestly. Where conventional medicine is genuinely good, where it fails you, and why. What "good" functional medicine as currently practiced actually is — aggressive protocols and expensive supplements delivered without follow-through. Two composite client stories that name the exact patterns of failure you might recognize. And a deeper look at order of operations — why so many "good" protocols by well-intentioned practitioners don't work, and what needs to happen instead.Plus: a first look at the third way. The care model that isn't another protocol — that respects the life you actually have and builds something you can actually live with.Come back next week for the full picture of what that looks like.This week's Kick Rocks: to the "run labs, email PDF, disappear for three months" model of functional medicine.New episodes weekly.

Conventional wisdom about selling a business is pretty clear: If at all possible, get your money at closing. Don't leave a big chunk of the purchase price dependent on the future performance of a business you no longer control. David C. Barnett, who helps people buy and sell businesses, has challenged that conventional wisdom, arguing that earnouts and other forms of deferred payment can sometimes help buyers and sellers get better deals done. Josh Patrick, who has owned and sold businesses himself and advised many other owners through transactions, is more skeptical. Which is why I was kind of hoping for a fight.Instead, Dave and Josh end up agreeing on quite a lot—including that once a seller decides to leave money in a deal, choosing the right buyer becomes every bit as important as negotiating the right price. Can the buyer actually run the business? What happens if things go wrong? What information should the seller continue to receive? And how can the deal be structured so that both sides have an incentive to make the transition work? So no, this isn't quite the earnout cage match of my dreams. It's actually far more insightful than that. The episode is brought to you by Grasshopper Bank.

I am honored to connect with Dr. Eric Osansky today. He is a chiropractic physician, clinical nutritionist, and functional medicine provider. He is also an author who loves to write about hyperthyroidism and a lifestyle-focused approach to it. In today's conversation, Dr. Osansky unpacks his own Graves diagnosis in 2008 and highlights the typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism, the unique physiology of thyroid dysfunction, and specific risk factors. We explore traditional treatment pathways, the influence of low-dose naltrexone and other immunomodulatory supplements, and the gut-thyroid axis. We also discuss how most of our immune system is located in the gut, the influence of leaky gut and autoimmune disease, perimenopause as a trigger window for symptoms, and how these often overlap with thyroid health. Stay tuned for an interesting and insightful conversation on thyroid health, Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and more. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What Graves' disease is, and how it differs from other causes of hyperthyroidism The first symptom of Graves' disease that Dr. Osansky experienced, and other common symptoms of Graves' disease Genetics, environmental triggers, and other factors that could contribute to autoimmune thyroid disease Conventional treatment options that are available for Graves' disease, how they work, and why treatment decisions should be individualized Why Dr. Osansky recommends continuing to support immune and gut health after radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery How low-dose naltrexone may help some people with Graves' disease modulate their immune systems Foods, lifestyle measures, and supplements that can support immune regulation alongside appropriate medical care The relationship between the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"), and autoimmunity How thyroid symptoms and hormone changes during midlife can overlap, and why laboratory testing is important when symptoms overlap Bio: Eric Osansky Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who has been helping people with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's since 2009. He is the author of the books "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease", "The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet", and "Hashimoto's Triggers", and is the host of the Save My Thyroid podcast. Dr. Osansky was personally diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2008 and was able to restore his health through a natural approach, and since then has helped others reverse their hyperthyroidism through his SAVED Thyroid framework.

What happens when an AI agent is compromised, manipulated, or simply does something nobody expected, but already has permission to access your most sensitive systems? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth, about why securing enterprise AI requires businesses to think beyond protecting models and start paying much closer attention to identity, authorization, access control, and what AI agents are actually allowed to do. Geoffrey argues that AI agents present a different security challenge from traditional software. Conventional applications can be tested against relatively predictable behavior. AI models are far less deterministic, particularly when prompt injection, excessive permissions, unexpected behavior, and autonomous actions enter the equation. His advice is to assume an agent could behave unpredictably and control what happens when it attempts to access a database, execute a financial transaction, call an API, or interact with another business system. We discuss what this means as companies race to introduce agentic AI. Geoffrey shares examples of employees granting AI tools permissions without fully understanding what they have approved, along with agents gathering information that creates unexpected privacy and compliance problems. This creates a difficult challenge for CIOs and CISOs. Boards want AI adoption because of its potential competitive value, while employees increasingly depend on AI tools to do their jobs. Simply blocking agents is unlikely to work. Security teams instead need mechanisms that allow innovation while controlling what those agents can access. Geoffrey explains why Zero Trust becomes particularly relevant here. Rather than authenticating a user or agent once and assuming it remains trustworthy, enterprises need to continually evaluate whether an action should be permitted at that specific moment. This leads to the concept of continuous authorization. Geoffrey explains how identity security is moving from asking "Who are you?" toward understanding intent, behavior, context, and authority for individual actions. This becomes increasingly important when one AI agent can create sub-agents, which can then create additional agents and pass permissions down the chain. We also discuss why agentic AI is exposing years of accumulated security debt. Many of the underlying problems are familiar: excessive privileges, inconsistent access controls, incomplete Zero Trust implementations, and systems that trust identities for too long. AI agents amplify those weaknesses because they can operate at machine speed. Geoffrey describes this as combining the unpredictability of humans with the power of machines. For CIOs, CISOs, security architects, identity teams, and business leaders deploying agentic AI, this conversation offers practical questions to ask before connecting agents to enterprise resources. What can the agent access? What authority does it have? Can that authority be reduced as tasks are delegated? Is every important action evaluated independently? And can access be revoked immediately when behavior changes? The goal is not to prevent organizations from using AI agents. It is to create a security layer that gives developers and employees room to experiment while ensuring agents only have the authority they need at the moment they need it. As autonomous AI becomes part of the enterprise workforce, identity alone may no longer be enough. Businesses increasingly need to understand intent, control authority, and continuously decide whether the next action should be allowed.
