Recorded live at ICBC Berlin 2026, Chuck Warner sits down with Michael Lucchino, Executive Vice President of Sales at Cannatrol, to discuss one of the most overlooked yet critical stages of cannabis cultivation: post-harvest processing. While cultivators often focus heavily on genetics, lighting, nutrients, and environmental controls, Michael explains why drying, curing, and storage can ultimately determine product quality, consistency, shelf life, and profitability. The conversation explores Cannatrol's origins in artisanal food preservation, the science of vapor pressure control, the growing importance of GMP compliance in global cannabis markets, and how precision-controlled curing can improve everything from flower quality to pre-roll manufacturing efficiency. Whether you're a commercial cultivator, processor, cannabis entrepreneur, or simply interested in the science behind premium cannabis products, this episode offers valuable insights into how technology is transforming the industry's post-harvest workflow.
For some, online shopping is a chore but for others it is a real problem. A company in South Korea has found a solution. Apparently online shopping isn't about the products it is more about the thrill of purchasing, so they have developed a fake online shop that won't accept payment. Also on the show, we will hear about the cat that stole the show at a ballet performance.

Your ER doctor has about 25 minutes to figure out your medical history and decide what to do next. Hamed Husaini, an emergency physician and physician executive, explains why so much of that data never reaches the bedside and what AI can do about it. This episode is based on his article "AI in health care data management: Curing the EHR overload," published on KevinMD. You will hear why records from skilled nursing facilities, primary care, and home health rarely get read in time, why duplicate medications and missed end-of-life directives slip through, and how a one-page AI synopsis pushed into the native EHR before you walk into the room changes what the next 25 minutes look like. Hamed argues the bottleneck is not data volume; it is the pull model that asks busy clinicians to fetch records they never have time to read. If the system already feels like it should know your records and still doesn't, this episode names why and what changes when the data starts flowing the other direction. True team-based care starts with you. At ChenMed, we believe the best way to care for patients is to change the way we practice medicine. When you join our team, you are empowered to lead.

Most people use moderation as a reason to keep doing what they are doing. Dr. Columbus Batiste says that is exactly the mindset that can have lasting health implications. In this episode of NHA Today, Dr. Stephan Esser sits down with Dr. Columbus Batiste, board-certified interventional cardiologist, author, and co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation. Known as the Healthy Heart Doc, Dr. Batiste has spent his career doing what most cardiologists do not: asking patients not just what they eat, but what they eat for their health - and then building a plan around what they actually want. His personal story is the backbone of this conversation. His father was health-conscious, ran a health food store, and juiced long before it was fashionable - but also loved sodasand sweets in moderation. He died from the effects of diabetes. Reading Caldwell Esselstyn's chapter titled Moderation Kills changed the course of Dr. Batiste's career. In this conversation you will learn:• Why moderation is a justification we only apply to things we know we should not be doing• The three most heart-protective food groups and why they work at the cellular level• How to talk to patients (or yourself) about food in a way that actually creates change• The SELFISH acronym: seven pillars of heart health from spirituality to humor• Why 80% of health outcomes happen outside the doctor's office• The role of stress, presence, and relationships in cardiovascular disease• Dr. Batiste's take on AI in medicine and what an elderly patient said that stopped him cold• What he is bringing to the NHA Annual Conference this June ---ABOUT DR. COLUMBUS BATISTE---Columbus Batiste, MD is a board-certified interventional cardiologist, co-founder of Healthy Heart Nation, and author of Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Curing a Stressed and Broken Heart. He is the Regional Chief of Cardiology for Southern California Permanente Medical Group and a celebrity media contributor featured in documentaries, articles, and podcasts worldwide.

Megan Hine is a wilderness guide, survivalist, and TV producer whose career is the stuff of Hollywood movies. From wild camping alone at 11 years old in Snowdonia to handling King Cobras and rigging stunts out of helicopters for major TV shows, she has spent her life making the inaccessible accessible.But a life of extreme adventure isn't without its mental hurdles. Despite hanging out of helicopters for work, Megan developed a terrifying phobia of them—which she actively cured by learning to fly a paramotor so she could understand air currents. She also had to navigate a heavily male-dominated industry, realizing early on that she would have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition as her male counterparts.Now, she has written a book detailing her experiences. It is a deeply personal account of her time in the wild, exploring the psychology of survival, the therapeutic benefits of nature, and how we can train our brains to handle everyday situations. It takes readers on a journey into why our bodies naturally crave comfort, and how pushing past that biological urge is the ultimate key to resilience.In this episode, we delve into Megan's incredible career and what it has taught her. We discuss the psychology of fear, her encounters with deadly predators in extreme environments, how she handles high-profile celebrities who refuse safety gear, and why, as a society, we need to stop taking the easy route and start getting uncomfortable.✨ IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 Introduction and claiming the small wins02:01 A childhood in Snowdonia and solo camping at 1104:18 How a free beer led to a career in bushcraft07:37 Navigating the "boys' club" and working twice as hard09:42 Curing a paralyzing fear of helicopters12:33 How to build your own outdoor experience and qualifications15:57 The biology of comfort: why we instinctively take the easy route18:50 A terrifying encounter with a Mountain King Cobra22:07 Working with celebrities and enforcing boundaries24:36 Taking responsibility and getting out of your own way

What if discipline has nothing to do with motivation? In this solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly shares a side of discipline that rarely gets talked about — the kind that happens when nobody is watching and there's no guarantee you're making progress. Through personal stories and real-time reflections, he opens up about sitting with shame, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty while continuing to do the work anyway. Not because it's easy, but because it's necessary. This conversation challenges the popular idea that discipline is all about intensity and hustle. Instead, Kelly explains why true discipline is built through consistency, self-awareness, and a willingness to face the parts of yourself you've spent years avoiding. If you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure whether your effort is paying off, this episode is a reminder that the deepest growth often happens long before the results appear. Key Takeaways

Somewhere, someone in the world is pushing the frontiers of medicine. And today that someone is Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, the pioneer of plasmalogen medicine. His stories of clinical success deploying his very own patented plasmalogen molecules are incredible. Curing blindness. Reversing dementia. Growing brains. And his idea is simple. We are all equipped with the right biological software but often lack the biochemical raw material to thrive. Dr D and plasmalogens are changing that.Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, is a neuroscientist, biochemist, inventor, and clinical research expert. In 1999, he invented and patented ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry technology, enabling comprehensive monitoring of human biochemistry for the first time. Using this technology, Dr. Goodenowe analyzed blood samples from tens of thousands of individuals of all ages and races, from multiple countries. Over 20 conditions were studied, including autism, dementia, colon cancer, heart disease, and others. Differences between the biochemistry of younger and older populations, as well as associations with all-cause mortality, were also examined. This body of research identified early biochemical patterns associated with disease and mortality risk, thereby contributing to the development of an extensive patent portfolio. These patents cover diagnostic tests for early detection and screening across numerous conditions, including specific cancers, neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, and cardiovascular disease.Contact:Website - https://prodrome.com Website - https://drgoodenowe.comWebsite - https://perpetualhealth.drgoodenowe.comExcited by the sound of these incredible molecules.

Brain aging and disease research can gain new insights from space. Aline M.A. Martins, Ph.D., UC San Diego, explains how neuroscience studies in space use brain organoids, proteomics, and single-cell analysis to understand cognition decline, space-induced neurosenescence, and disease-related changes. Martins examines molecular markers of senescence, mitochondrial impairment, and neuroinflammation in organoid models, including Rett syndrome, while also comparing how space affects organoids of different ages. She shows that space can accelerate aging-related changes and affect cell types differently, helping clarify how space biology may speed drug discovery and reveal biomarkers for disease. This work helps explain how space research can inform treatments on Earth and points toward faster preclinical testing and broader understanding of brain disease.

In this week's Listener Mail episode, we answer a huge range of questions from the amazing High on Home Grown community, covering everything from soil health and trichome production to dream grow setups and the future of cannabis laws in the USA. We discuss compacted living soil and how to keep soil healthy throughout a grow, whether growers ever find that one “perfect strain” they'd be happy with forever, and what our ultimate no-budget dream grow rooms would look like. We also get into the possible implications of proposed cannabis seed restrictions in the US, and whether the industry is slowly being pushed toward a pharmaceutical-only future. There are also questions about curing and storing cannabis properly, favourite things to do while high, essential pieces of grow equipment every grower should own, and whether freshly dried bud can sometimes hit harder than fully cured flower. FreeNuggz came loaded with questions this week too, sparking discussions about boosting trichome production late in flower, using fan leaves for nutrition, how to tell when autoflowers are truly finished, maintaining living soil over multiple runs, and some seriously stoned theories involving light cycles before harvest
Welcome back to the Business of Apparel podcast, your one-stop shop to learn how to launch, grow, and scale your apparel brand! I'm your host, Rachel Erickson. In today's episode, I am thrilled to welcome Brian Finnerty, an experienced entrepreneur and investor behind Galway Bay Golf. We start by taking the popular entrepreneurial advice of "fake it until you make it," throwing it in the garbage, and setting it ablaze! Brian shares why taking the time to honestly build your business eliminates imposter syndrome and empowers you to speak purely from experience. We also dive deep into the strategic side of building a lasting brand. Brian shares the hard-learned lessons from scaling Galway Bay, including why thinking you are your only customer is an apparel founder's biggest "Kryptonite." We also discuss why the best brands don't just create individual "sizzle" pieces, but instead design cohesive, layered systems where every detail is considered. In this episode, you'll learn: The "fake it till you make it" lie and how to cure imposter syndrome. The Founder's Kryptonite: Why you need to realize you are a sample size of one. Why fast social media clicks don't equal lifetime value (LTV). The power of a "Hero Product" and why keeping styles for years builds ultimate customer loyalty. How Galway Bay launched their women's line with a safe 250-piece test drop.
Targeted drug delivery to the brain has long been hindered by the blood-brain barrier, a protective layer that prevents many therapeutic agents from reaching their intended targets. For patients with serious neurological disorders, this challenge can significantly reduce access to potentially effective treatments and limit therapeutic outcomes. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Sasha Klibanov, PhD, Associate Professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Virginia and a pioneering researcher in microbubble technology. Dr. Klibanov discusses the evolution of microbubbles from imaging contrast agents to sophisticated tools for drug delivery. He also explains how focused ultrasound, combined with microbubbles, can safely and temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, creating new opportunities for precision therapies and advancing the potential of immunotherapy. Discussion highlights: Microbubble Technology Explained: Explore how microbubbles evolved from diagnostic imaging tools into powerful agents for precise drug delivery when combined with focused ultrasound. Advancing Immunotherapy: Learn about Dr. Klibanov's collaborative research on using size-sorted microbubbles to optimize the opening of the blood-brain barrier, potentially revolutionizing how we treat complex diseases by enabling targeted immune responses.

If you've ever done “all the right things” for your mental health and still felt stuck, this conversation will challenge what you've been told to expect. I'm joined by Brisbane-based psychotherapist, educator, and author Yildiz Sethi, who makes a clear case for moving beyond coping strategies and symptom management toward deeper healing that actually changes the pattern underneath.We talk about why the dominant medical model can quietly lock people into labels and long timelines, even as neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and epigenetics keep proving the brain and nervous system can change. Yildiz explains why so much therapy stays on the surface of the conscious mind, and what happens when you finally work with the subconscious instead. We dig into two powerful sources of repeating struggles: generational patterns carried through family systems and epigenetic inheritance, and personal experiences that get repressed as protection and later show up as triggers, anxiety, anger, or persistent self-doubt.Jildiz shares how approaches like family constellations and her trauma-informed processing work aim to find the root cause quickly and resolve it safely, not just reframe it. She also adds an important safeguard: some severe mental health conditions still require diagnosis, medication, and specialist care, and this work is not a blanket answer for every case.

Essential tremor is a progressive neurological condition that causes involuntary shaking, often significantly impairing everyday tasks. For many, the loss of fine motor control means giving up lifelong passions and careers. Even simple actions, like buttoning a shirt, eating, or writing, can become overwhelming, leading to frustration, embarrassment, and a diminished quality of life. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Howard Faber, a Michigan-based magician who spent decades entertaining audiences before essential tremor forced him to step away from the stage. Howard discusses his experience with focused ultrasound, a noninvasive treatment that ultimately transformed his condition. He reflects on his journey with progressively worsening tremors, the turning point when Medicare approved focused ultrasound treatment, and his life-changing experience undergoing the procedure. Today, Howard has returned to performing, having regained complete control of his hands and his life. Discussion highlights: The Impact of Essential Tremor: Discover how Howard's progressive tremors interfered with his daily life and his beloved magic career, leading to moments of embarrassment and the difficult decision to stop performing. A Life-Changing Procedure: Follow Howard's experience undergoing focused ultrasound treatment at the Cleveland Clinic, from the preparation process to the emotional moment he realized his tremor was completely gone.

In this interview, Christopher Carey sits down with Snorre Kjesbu from Cisco to unpack AI's real impact on the employee experience. Snorre makes the case that AI is an antidote to burnout, not a cause of it – freeing employees from busy work so they can focus on strategy, creativity, and the harder intellectual challenges.He also introduces the concept of “connected intelligence,” where collaboration is no longer just people-to-people but now includes people-to-AI and AI-to-AI interactions. The conversation covers how organisations are navigating AI adoption across their workflows, why cultural change is often harder than the technology itself, and what the next two to three years will bring – from AI agents becoming regular participants in meetings to IT teams gaining new superpowers through agentic AI and smarter manageability tools.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a vital protective mechanism that shields the brain from harmful substances, but it also poses a significant challenge in treating neurological diseases. For patients with aggressive brain tumors or neurodegenerative conditions, the BBB can prevent life-saving therapies and chemotherapeutic agents from reaching their targets, leaving limited treatment options. In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Ying Meng, MD, PhD, a neurosurgeon and scientist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto. Dr. Meng is at the forefront of advancing noninvasive brain therapies, leading efforts to translate preclinical focused ultrasound research into clinical application. She shares insights from groundbreaking clinical trials using focused ultrasound to enable targeted drug delivery across the BBB for conditions such as pediatric gliomas and breast cancer metastases, as well as insights on liquid biopsy biomarkers. Discussion highlights: The Future of Accessible Treatment: Dr. Meng's perspective on the next decade of innovation, including the potential shift of focused ultrasound procedures from specialized MRI environments to more accessible, bedside settings within standard infusion centers—broadening patient access and improving treatment tolerability. Center of Excellence (COE): Established as a COE in 2016, the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is conducting research for focused ultrasound in neurology, neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, gynecology, radiation oncology, and biomedical engineering. The COE program recognizes luminary sites for their excellence in translational and clinical research, training, and patient care. EPISODE TRANSCRIPT ---------------------------- QUESTIONS?

Chronic pain affects one in five adults, yet it remains a deeply personal and often misunderstood experience. For many, the search for relief becomes a cycle of treatments that fail to deliver lasting results, sometimes leading to long-term reliance on medications that can significantly impact quality of life. In this special episode of Curing with Sound, we examine the future of pain management from three unique perspectives. We begin with renowned neurosurgeon and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta, MD, who shares insights from his latest book, It Doesn't Have to Hurt: Your Smart Guide to a Pain-Free Life. Dr. Gupta explores how pain is not merely a physical signal, but a complex experience shaped by the brain and nervous system, one influenced by movement, sleep, stress, and daily interactions. The episode also features Lauren Hadley, MD, MBA, the Foundation's Associate Director of the Research and Education Team, who discusses the science behind focused ultrasound as a noninvasive alternative to traditional surgery and pharmacologic treatments. Finally, we hear from Reginald Masters, a patient whose chronic low back pain was successfully treated with focused ultrasound, offering a compelling firsthand account of life before and after treatment. Discussion highlights: The Neuroscience of Pain: Dr. Sanjay Gupta examines the subjective nature of pain, drawing on years of clinical experience and reporting to shed light on how pain is understood and managed. A Noninvasive Revolution: Dr. Lauren Hadley explains how focused ultrasound is transforming pain treatment by targeting the source through approaches such as thermal ablation and neuromodulation. A Patient's Journey to Relief: Reginald Masters shares his experience living with debilitating pain for decades and finding rapid relief through a noninvasive focused ultrasound procedure.

Send us Fan Mail"I haven't had to make a new friend in 15 years. Where do I even start?"If your social circle vanished when your marriage ended, you are not alone. Many married men compartmentalize their friendships or rely on their wives to act as the "social director". When the divorce happens, that social calendar goes completely blank—and the silence can be deafening.Today, we are changing how we look at loneliness. We aren't just talking about how much it hurts; we are treating it as a highly fixable skill deficit.My guest is Dr. Ronald Riggio, a social personality psychologist and expert in interpersonal relationships and nonverbal communication.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this article, Dana reveals the primary reason moms struggle to hit their goals: isolation. Despite being constantly surrounded by people, moms are silently battling guilt, self-doubt, and internal conflict about whether they're making the right choices. She introduces a powerful framework (Speak, Find, See, Hope, Reflect, Achieve) that breaks the cycle of isolation and cures mom guilt by getting you to say things out loud, find your circles of understanding, and realize you're not alone in your struggles. From learning how to receive without constantly proving your worth to understanding that wanting more doesn't make you selfish, Dana shows you how clarity and freedom come from breaking the silence. You don't need to have it all figured out, you just need to stop isolating yourself and start saying the things you've been keeping silent.
