Lindsay Clancy is currently on trial for killing her three children.Prosecutors say the murders were intentional, but her defense team says she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis -- a condition that does not have a distinct diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.That's the handbook used to identify mental health conditions, so patients often have a hard time getting proper care.The case has put a spotlight on maternal mental health and how its treated by the public and healthcare professionals.

If you've done all the “right” things for your gut, eating clean, avoiding gluten, taking supplements, running labs, and still feel like your gut health stinks, this episode is for you. We're challenging the idea that your gut is something you need to “fix” and exploring why symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and gas may actually be signals rather than signs that something is broken. We zoom out to look at the gut as part of a much bigger web involving the brain, nervous system, hormones, immune system, stress, sleep, and circadian rhythm, and we share simple strategies that can help support your body without adding another complicated protocol to your life. Our goal is to help you stop chasing symptoms, start listening to your body, and build resilience from the inside out.SHOW NOTES:0:38 Welcome to the show!3:03 Why your gut isn't broken6:09 Limbic Retraining8:48 Underlying stressors to the gut9:24 Spider web analogy11:15 Simple hack to sync your gut rhythms14:28 Overnight fasting15:32 Perimenopausal & bloated16:31 Gut Healing Framework18:11 Basic elimination foods19:02 Regulating the stress response19:28 Renee's gut story21:15 How to support digestion27:30 The many types of trauma 30:18 Food Therapy31:15 Repairing the gut lining & microbiome32:56 “Party in my stomach”35:02 Supplements for gut healing37:50 The acid reflux myth43:22 Supporting motility & bowel movements47:00 Diagnostic lab testing49:50 Triggers for leaky gut57:30 Allergies vs Intolerances vs Sensitivities1:01:29 Elimination Diet1:03:41 Can you over-optimize your gut?1:05:21 Recapping the frameworkRESOURCES:Fullscript Gut Supplements (must create an account to access)Biohacker Babes Gut Healing Framework E-book (FREE until Sept 14)Primal Trust - code: BIOHACKERBABES10FREE Nervous System Harmony e-bookBook: Food TherapyPodcast with Luis MojicaSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

What if "I can't afford it," "Let me think about it," or "I need to ask my husband" weren't rejections at all? What if they were actually telling you exactly where your sales conversation went wrong? In this episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella, founder of Pretty Rich Bosses, delivers a powerful reframe for beauty entrepreneurs and service providers: an objection isn't rejection. It's information. Instead of fearing objections or taking them personally, Sheila teaches you how to read them like a diagnostic report. Every objection can point to a step in the sales conversation where your potential client still needs more trust, value, clarity, certainty, or emotional investment before she feels ready to say yes. Sheila breaks down four of the most common objections beauty business owners hear and explains what may actually be happening underneath the words. "It's too expensive" can signal that you haven't built enough value. "Let me think about it" can reveal an unresolved gap in trust, pain, belief, or clarity. "I need to ask my husband" can point to missing certainty, while "Just send me some info" may mean you haven't created enough momentum or emotional investment. The goal isn't to become better at pressuring people into buying. It's to become better at building a sales conversation where your potential client has what she needs to make a confident decision. Once you stop treating objections like punches and start treating them like feedback, every sales conversation becomes an opportunity to improve. If you're a beauty entrepreneur who freezes when someone says, "That's too expensive," gets discouraged after hearing "I'll think about it," or struggles to confidently ask for the sale, this episode will completely change how you approach sales. 5 KEY POINTS 1. An objection is information, not rejection. Stop assuming an objection means the client is walking away. Sheila explains how objections can reveal exactly where the sales conversation needs more work. 2. "It's too expensive" can be a value problem. Before immediately lowering your price, look at whether you clearly communicated the value, transformation, pain being solved, and belief in your solution before revealing the investment. 3. "Let me think about it" means something may still feel unresolved. There may be a gap in trust, understanding, pain, belief, or clarity. Instead of getting defensive, get curious about what part of the conversation was left incomplete. 4. Stop being afraid of uncomfortable sales moments. The questions you're afraid to ask, the price reveal, and asking for the commitment are often the moments that expose what your sales process needs. Avoiding them can create pleasant conversations that never convert. 5. Every objection is free sales training. Instead of letting objections destroy your confidence, use them as data. Ask yourself, "What is she actually diagnosing? Which step did I skip?" Then use that information to improve the next conversation.

In our latest Science of Reading: Essentials episode, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., draws on expert voices from across the podcast to show how assessment can be one of the most exciting and empowering tools an educator has at their disposal. Featuring Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D.; Stephanie Stollar, Ph.D.; Kate Winn; Kymyona Burk, Ed.D.; Kajal Patl Below; Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D.; and Melissa Farrall, Ph.D., this episode covers the three types of assessment every educator. needs—universal screening, diagnostic assessment, and progress monitoring—and how they work together; what the Oral Reading Fluency measure actually measures, why it matters, and how it's often misunderstood; and why assessing comprehension is so complex, and what teachers can do about it. Show notes: Check out all of our Science of Reading Essentials episodes.Sign up for our upcoming Assessment Webinar Series. Listen to Season 3 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcast.Listen to the full episodes:The right assessment and the right data with Dr. Jan HasbrouckAssessment as your best friend, with Kate Winn and Stephanie Stollar, Ph.D.Language is always an asset, with Kajal Patel BelowUnderstanding assessment, with Melissa Farrall, Ph.D.Reimagining comprehension assessment, with Gina Biancarosa, Ed.D.A proactive response to the adolescent literacy crisis, with Kymyona Burk, Ed.D.Subscribe to Susan's new Science of Reading Substack.Join our Science of Reading community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes: “If you don't have a question about your students, you don't need to do more assessment.

A woman from Cleveland moved to Wisconsin, took the surname of Watts – a man serving five life sentences for killing his entire family – and filed to marry him. Women have been doing this for well over a century, and the ones who later walked away have almost never been asked why.BOOK: “They Told Me My Newborn Died – They Lied” by Darren Marlar: https://amzn.to/4ihvu3kEPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/wattsandlizzieREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yzmw3jdnThis episode includes references to suicide and to the deaths of children.

And Chris Watts is not the only man in permanent lockup who is seeking matrimony. Later, we'll look at the women who build relationships with men who will die behind bars, and what draws them in.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:51.635 = Show Open00:03:19.353 = Ten Seconds At Dodge Correctional00:20:26.768 = Shannan, Bella, Celeste and Nico ***00:48:21.294 = He Will Write Back ***01:04:25.333 = Dead In All Respects ***01:24:35.204 = Nobody Counts Any Of This ***01:29:55.177 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: August 19, 2026This episode of Weird Darkness covers the marriage application Chris Watts filed from a Wisconsin prison eight years after murdering his pregnant wife and their two young daughters, and the long record of women who write to, visit and marry men who will never get out.It opens at Dodge Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin, where an inmate may touch a visitor twice, once at the start of a visit and once at the end, an embrace reporting puts at roughly ten seconds. On August 12th, 2026 the Daily Mail reported that Chris Watts, 41, and a 39-year-old Cleveland realtor named Lizzie Henderson had applied to marry inside the Wisconsin prison system. Lizzie had moved from Ohio to Wisconsin with her mother, filed a sealed petition for a confidential name change on September 12th, 2025, and appeared in prison visitor logs roughly twenty times during 2025, plus a visit on Christmas Day of 2024. Wisconsin handles these requests under policy 309.00.06, PIOC Marriages, which routes the application through a marriage coordinator and leaves the decision with the warden. No ceremony or license has been documented, and Watts has no projected release date.From there the episode goes back to the family. The Watts family doorbell camera recorded Shanann Watts arriving home at 1:48 in the morning on August 13th, 2018 at 2825 Saratoga Trail in Frederick, Colorado. She was 34 and fifteen weeks pregnant with a son the couple had named Nico, raising daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three, and selling Thrive for Le-Vel while her husband worked for Anadarko Petroleum and carried on an affair with co-worker Nichol Kessinger. Watts failed a polygraph administered by Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Tammy Lee, blamed Shanann for the girls' deaths, then retracted it. A drone over an Anadarko site called CERVI 319 found Shanann in a shallow grave and both girls submerged in crude oil inside storage tanks with eight-inch hatches. Judge Marcelo Kopcow sentenced him on November 19th, 2018 to five life sentences plus 84 years. In a February 2019 interview at Waupun, Watts described smothering Celeste in his truck while Bella sat beside her, and hearing Bella's last two words, "Daddy, no!", every time he closes his eyes.The second half opens in the autumn of 1921, when French railways ran extra trains to Versailles for the trial of Henri Désiré Landru, a furniture dealer who placed lonely-hearts advertisements in Paris newspapers and murdered eleven people. Women mailed him proposals of marriage while he awaited the guillotine. The modern version runs through Meet-An-Inmate, launched in 1998, and WriteAPrisoner, founded by Adam Lovell in 2000, which post profiles written on paper because American prisons allow no internet access; Susan Smith drew more than six thousand letters before pulling her listing in 2003. Hybristophilia, the term journalists reach for, was coined by sexologist John Money in 1986 and has never appeared in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Sheila Isenberg's Women Who Love Men Who Kill, forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland's "perfect boyfriend" model, and sociologist Megan Comfort's San Quentin fieldwork in Doing Time Together supply what the women themselves say they are getting.Two 2025 studies found that actively seeking out romanticizing TikTok content correlated with attraction while passive exposure predicted nothing. The risk is documented in the killings of Regina Capobianco and John Mann by her pen pal Thomas Knuff in Parma Heights, Ohio, and in the strangling deaths of Stephanie Dowells and Tania Thomas during family visits at Mule Creek State Prison. The marriages run from Nina Van Zandt, who married Haymarket defendant August Spies by proxy in 1887 and may have married an innocent man, through Ted Bundy and Carole Ann Boone, Doreen Lioy and Richard Ramirez at San Quentin, the Twinkie that served as Erik Menendez and Tammi Saccoman's wedding cake, and James Whitehouse, who wrote to Susan Atkins in 1985 and went on to Harvard Law School to serve as her attorney. All of it rests on Turner v. Safley, the 1987 Supreme Court decision in which Justice Sandra Day O'Connor noted that most inmates are eventually released, leaving the man who never will be an untested case. Rhode Island's 1909 civil death statute declared lifers "dead in all respects", and Britain barred whole-life prisoners from marrying in 2024 after Milly Dowler's murderer Levi Bellfield was granted permission.The episode closes on the women who leave, absent from every study in the field. Lynn Hartman ended her engagement to Steven Avery in October of 2016 and wrote that she had been fooled by the Netflix documentary. Paula Williamson married Charles Bronson at HMP Wakefield in November of 2017, had it annulled in 2019, and died that July at thirty-eight. Anna Eriksson divorced Lyle Menendez in 2001 and still argues for his release. No agency counts prison marriages, and every figure circulating online is unsourced. Chris Watts belongs to a long file rather than a new one, having received his first letters from strangers within weeks of his December 2018 sentencing, before he had written a word to any of them.LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HEARING?

For years, doctors told this pediatrician her pain was fibromyalgia and depression. It was quietly starving her aorta. Victoria Rundus is a board-certified pediatrician who spent four years being misdiagnosed before an ER physician finally listened to her abdomen and heard what everyone else had missed. This episode is based on her article "Diagnostic bias almost cost me my life," published on KevinMD. You will hear how a single label can close the door on everything else, both for the physician treating you and for the patient who starts writing off new symptoms as just the old diagnosis. She explains why the physical exam still matters when labs come back normal, why she felt she was not being heard, and why curiosity and humility belong next to medical knowledge, not beneath it. We usually see horses, but the zebras are real. Press play to hear how a diagnosis can close a door that should stay open, and what it takes to keep looking. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.

Duolingo built the internet's favorite brand on rented land—the best shared media engine on the planet, run through one green owl on platforms it doesn't control. In this month's PESO Model® Diagnostic, Gini Dietrich looks at what the legend leaves out: an owned media record too thin to defend the brand when the 2025 "AI-first" backlash hit. You'll learn why Duo's chaos is actually disciplined character work, why AI engines ignore your funniest channel and cite your machine-readable record instead, and the three fixes that apply to any brand being told to "just go viral."

An endometriosis advocacy group is praising New Zealand's commitment to finally easing the diagnosis burden. The Government's launching new criteria mid-next year, supporting GPs to make the diagnosis and treat it immediately. At the moment, women are waiting a decade to be diagnosed. World Endometriosis Society Senior Ambassador Deborah Bush told Mike Hosking advocates have been working in this space for years. She says this guideline will bridge the diagnosis gap and provide an opportunity to bring together our world leading programmes and services.

Are gaps in your schedule really a case acceptance problem, or are you simply not diagnosing enough of the care your patients need and want? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Mondays co-host Miranda Beeson explain diagnostic percentage, why it is an important leading indicator for future production, and how inconsistent exams, assumptions about patients, and excessive “watching” can limit both care and opportunity. You'll learn how to evaluate diagnostic percentage by provider, create greater consistency in your comprehensive exams, and identify opportunities to better serve existing patients without turning treatment conversations into a sales process. To improve your diagnostic consistency and help more patients understand their options, listen to Episode 1087 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Diagnostic percentage measures the percentage of patients receiving an exam who are diagnosed or treatment planned with new treatment in the practice management software.A low diagnostic percentage can indicate inconsistent exams, incomplete documentation, communication challenges, or assumptions about what patients will accept.Practices should diagnose consistently and allow patients to decide whether and when they want to proceed with treatment.A strong clinical philosophy and standardized examination process help patients receive consistent information regardless of which provider they see.Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider can reveal variations that should be explored rather than immediately judged as right or wrong.Miranda identifies 45% or higher as a useful benchmark while noting that percentages in the teens, 20s, or low 30s may indicate missed opportunities.Comprehensive exams for existing patients and regular review of conditions being “watched” can uncover changes in patient needs, wants, and appropriate treatment.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Metric Monday and diagnostic percentage.02:53 Diagnostic percentage as a measure of consistent patient care.05:51 Avoiding assumptions about a patient's willingness or ability to pursue treatment.07:00 Common causes of low diagnostic percentage.10:18 How consistent standards support stronger diagnosis.12:00 Helping patients plan proactively for future dentistry.14:56 Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider and using benchmarks.17:21 Re-evaluating existing patients with comprehensive exams.19:00 Using improved skills and technology to better evaluate patients over time.20:00 Untapped treatment opportunities within the existing practice.21:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy. Family time is the best time, and is often spent on a golf course, a volleyball court, or spending the day boating at the beach.Episode Resources:The Wallet Biopsy: https://www.actdental.com/blog/the-procedure-to-always-avoid-wallet-biopsyMore Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:Contact Gina to learn more about ACT: gina@actdental.comThe Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Smile Source Community Hub: https://www.actdental.com/community-hubUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

What creates diplomacy, and why does it seem so absent when societies need it most? Thom explores Dhanur Veda, the Vedic body of knowledge concerned with governance, diplomacy, defense, and the awakening of collective potential. He explains why the Vedic approach is diagnostic rather than prescriptive, and why lasting change begins not with controlling behavior, but with raising consciousness. Listen to or watch this episode for a deeper look at how individual dharma shapes leadership, community, and society.Episode Highlights[00:45] Four Vedas and Their Branches[03:07] The Bow as Consciousness[04:47] Governance Begins With Dharma[07:23] Diplomacy Follows Receptivity[09:27] Defense, Not War[10:52] From Family to Society[13:12] Sanskrit Flow and the Sandhi Rule[14:47] Q - Has this been tried before?[15:01] A - Diagnostic, Not Prescriptive[19:40] The Vedas Measure Alignment[21:10] Q - Is this true of architecture as well?[21:14] A - Shaping Space Shapes Consciousness[26:10] Ayurveda Works the Same Way[28:34] Q - What restores diplomatic skill?[29:04] A - Begin With Your Own Example[30:45] Leadership Mirrors the Collective[33:57] Confusion Breeds Corruption[37:03] Change Society by ExampleUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

How should a small electrical contractor charge for service work: flat-rate pricing or time and material?In this episode, Paul Abernathy breaks down the differences between these two common pricing methods and explains how each can affect profitability, customer relationships, cash flow, and business growth.Flat-rate pricing gives the customer an agreed price before the work begins and rewards the contractor for experience and efficiency. However, it also places more risk on the contractor if the job takes longer than expected or the original scope is poorly defined.Time-and-material pricing allows the contractor to charge for the actual labor and materials required to complete the work.This can be especially valuable when troubleshooting electrical problems or working with unknown existing conditions. However, customers may become uncomfortable when they do not know the final cost, and highly experienced electricians may earn less simply because they complete the work faster.This episode explains where each pricing method works best and why many small electrical contractors may benefit from using a combination of both.Topics covered include:The fundamental difference between flat-rate and time-and-material pricing.Which party accepts the risk under each pricing method.Why time and material works well for troubleshooting and unknown conditions.How flat-rate pricing rewards training, experience, and efficiency.The dangers of underestimating flat-rate work.Why an hourly billing rate must cover more than an electrician's wages.Material markup versus gross-profit margin.Diagnostic fees and service-call charges.Time and material with a not-to-exceed authorization.Fixed pricing for predictable electrical work.Written scopes, exclusions, and change orders.The importance of tracking labor, materials, callbacks, and warranty costs.Why job costing is essential under either pricing method.How to explain pricing professionally to customers.When a contractor should consider declining a job.Paul also explains why copying another contractor's hourly rate or flat-rate price book can be dangerous. Every electrical contracting business has different labor costs, overhead, insurance expenses, productivity levels, service areas, risks, and financial goals.The customer is not merely paying for the time an electrician spends performing a task. The customer is paying for training, licensing, experience, tools, insurance, availability, testing, warranty responsibility, and a safe professional result.Whether you are preparing to start an electrical contracting business or trying to improve the profitability of an existing company, this episode will help you make better pricing decisions and understand the true value of the professional electrical services you provide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.Struggling with the National Electrical Code?

"When people with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] get quite avoidant—and that can be expressed in so many different ways—the implications can be really profound. I think an important invitation to oncologists and oncology nurses and primary care providers who care for people battling cancer is let's explore what's underneath these avoidant behaviors. Is it a very practical thing? Or is it that underneath this avoidant behavior is really profound fear?" James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about addressing medical trauma in oncology.

They may not avoid the annual evaluation that is so hugely consequential—they might not avoid that. But they may well avoid a routine visit for a checkup to their oncologist. They very well may avoid a visit with a psychologist who is wanting them to talk about hard things. They may avoid visiting a friend in the hospital because it reminds them of really upsetting things. So, this issue of adherence and compliance is a really big problem." TS 3:19 "Screening tools for things like PTSD can be very useful. They're quite practical, and they're appropriate to use. I really like something called the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. ... Using it is going to be very straightforward. You're going to want to map it onto a 30-day window, and you're going to employ it with patients. It's a 20-item self-report. It assesses 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It's not diagnostic, but if people score in this range of 30, 31, 33, we typically are going to believe that that is very suggestive of significant PTSD." TS 9:17 "One of the things we should be doing all the time is modeling and attempting to normalize this idea of being open about mental health difficulties. When I say modeling, this is a complicated issue. ... I'm very open talking about my own battles with mental health. And in some ways, that invites my patients to do the same. I don't recommend necessarily that a nurse says, 'Oh, by the way, I have PTSD. I'm going to tell you about mine. I want you to tell me about yours.' That's a boundary issue. But I think it does behoove us as clinicians to create a culture as much as we're able, where we can talk about mental health difficulties in a matter-of-fact way, acknowledging that mental health is health. These tools, to me, go a long way in that direction." TS 13:41 "The survivorship process is ongoing. I think a nurse can assist a patient in so many ways longitudinally over time. ... One of those ways is to continue checking on mental health outcomes in patients. Continuing to check on mental health outcomes, continuing to explore them, and continuing to invite patients to talk about things that other people might not be asking about. It's easy for family members to assume, 'Hey, you know, you're cancer free now. You look fine, so you must be fine.' It's very possible that the patients we're talking about are not fine. They're far from fine. For that oncology nurse at a follow-up clinic or in an oncology setting to talk about this, continuing to affirm that it would be okay for patients to struggle, continuing to put this issue on a front burner—I think that's really important." TS 21:17 "I'm aware of nurse-led support groups where nurses can talk very freely about their own challenges, in a safe space. ... Working to build cultures in the context of the intensive care unit, let's say, where we have a lot of patients with cancer that prioritize well-being nurse driven programs. ...  The bottom line is if there is a warning light that is blinking, nurses need to attend to that. And in attending to it, they're going to be more present for their patient. They're going to be better able to support their patient. They're going to be better able to support each other. And I think often, in the culture of nursing and psychology, too, people just put their head down, their shoulder down, and they just plow through in ways that are really counter to their mental health." TS 29:56 "The truth is medical trauma can be well-managed. It's not simple. It's not always intuitive. There are all sorts of caveats with regard to this, but the truth is people with medical trauma can live really rich and meaningful lives. ... So, the default setting, I think, should be not one of pessimism. It should be that people with medical trauma can and do get better. If you are a patient with medical trauma and you are in my purview, until proven differently, I'm going to assume that you can get better too." TS 36:28

Quotes from the episode:    "When your HVAC system is performing at 100%, but the home isn't, the problem isn't the equipment anymore."    "Our job is to be investigators first and installers second."    "Homeowners don't just need to know their HVAC system. They need to know their home."    "If you think I'm doing too much testing, I'd argue you're probably not doing enough."    Many HVAC contractors say they focus on comfort, but Derek Aarstad has built his entire business around proving where comfort problems actually originate. As the owner of DNA Heating & Cooling in Richmond, Virginia, Derek approaches every home as an investigator, using airflow measurements, static pressure, duct leakage testing, blower door testing, thermal imaging, and building science principles before recommending solutions.     In this conversation, Bill and Derek discuss why replacing equipment often fails to solve comfort complaints, how educating homeowners builds trust, and why standardized processes have been essential to growing a successful high-performance HVAC company. Derek also shares lessons learned from hiring technicians, the value of documenting every step of the customer experience, and how organizations like NCI have influenced his approach to technical excellence and continuous learning.     Whether you're an HVAC contractor, home performance professional, or simply interested in how buildings really work, this episode offers practical insights into diagnostics, customer communication, and building a business that stands out by solving problems instead of simply replacing equipment.    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-aarstad-91a328247/   Website: https://dnarva.com/    NCI: https://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com/    NCI Summit: https://www.gotosummit.com/      This episode was recorded in July 2026. 

Some of the best conversations don't happen on stage—they happen after the conference.Originally recorded following a previous Suisun Summit, this NeuroNoodle panel captures the discussions that were shaping the future of neurofeedback: biomarkers, QEEG, trauma, autism, ADHD, licensing, ethics, and why many clinicians are moving beyond diagnostic labels toward understanding brain function.With the 2026 Suisun Neuroscience Summit just around the corner, it's fascinating to revisit these conversations and see how many of these ideas continue to influence clinical practice today.

What does it really mean to put the patient at the center of healthcare innovation? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Stephanie Hunter-Banks of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, a leader in medical learning, patient engagement, and rare disease advocacy. But what makes this conversation truly powerful is that Stephanie doesn't just study the patient journey—she lives it. As a rare disease patient herself, Stephanie brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to how healthcare systems, MedTech companies, and clinicians engage with patients. Her journey—spanning more than two decades without a definitive diagnosis—offers a raw and honest look into what many patients experience but few organizations truly understand. Stephanie shares why scientific innovation alone isn't enough—and how empathy, trust, and meaningful engagement are critical to driving better outcomes. From the challenges of the "diagnostic odyssey" to the importance of resilience, she provides a framework for how healthcare leaders can rethink patient-centricity—not as a buzzword, but as a real partnership. We also explore the role of medical affairs in translating complex science into real-world clinical decisions, the gaps that still exist between providers and patients, and how leaders can build teams grounded in trust, connection, and growth. If you're interested in rare disease, patient engagement, medical affairs, healthcare leadership, or MedTech innovation, this episode delivers a powerful reminder: the future of healthcare isn't just about better technology—it's about better understanding the people it serves.

Derrière ce que l'entourage qualifie souvent de paresse ou d'étourderie se cache en réalité un trouble neurodéveloppemental épuisant, où le cerveau lutte contre ses propres fonctions exécutives : le trouble déficit de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH). Qu'est-ce que ça fait de vivre avec un TDAH ? Et qu'est-ce que ça change, d'avoir un diagnostic ?Dans cet épisode d'Émotions, Marie Misset explore la réalité du TDAH à l'âge adulte à travers les récits de Léonore, Sophie et Nils. Pour décrypter les effets du TDAH et comprendre ce que change un diagnostic officiel, elle interroge le psychiatre et addictologue Yann Le Strat ainsi que le neuropsychologue Florian Gatto.

HubSpot lost roughly 75% of its blog traffic to AI search—and grew revenue 19% anyway. Everyone wrote the obituary for content marketing, but the traffic that died was the content HubSpot never had the right to own, and everything built on real authority held. In Episode 4 of the PESO Model® Diagnostic, I break down what survived, what didn't, and how to tell which of your own content is an asset versus exposure—before AI makes the call for you.

Discover why universally healthy diets don't exist and how metatranscriptomics (RNA sequencing) can track biological aging and reverse chronic disease risk before symptoms start.In this episode of Modern Healthspan, we sit down with Dr. Momo Vuyisich, co-founder of Viome and former lead genomics scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Vuyisich shares why sequencing microbial DNA only tells part of the story, and why tracking dynamic RNA expression (metatranscriptomics) is the true frontier of precision longevity. We explore why standard "superfoods" can trigger inflammation in specific individuals, how the gut microbiome loses structural resilience over decades due to preservatives and hidden antibiotics, and how Viome's AI engine maps complex molecular pathways like butyrate production and LPS endotoxins. Dr. Vuyisich also introduces his vision for a "Manhattan Project" for chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis and pancreatic cancer, challenging the current reactive models of academia and pharmaceutical industries. Turn your data into actionable preventive medicine with this deep dive into systems biology.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.In this Mind Moments episode, Daniel Ontaneda, MD, PhD, professor of neurology at the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis, discusses a recently published study in Neurology evaluating the application of the 2024 McDonald Criteria in individuals with nonspecific neurologic symptoms or incidental MRI findings. Using data from the CAHPS-MS study, Ontaneda explains how the revised diagnostic criteria perform in these previously understudied patient populations and what the findings may mean for earlier identification of multiple sclerosis. The conversation explores the rationale behind expanding the 2024 McDonald Criteria, the role of central vein sign and cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands in improving diagnostic confidence, and how clinicians should approach patients who fall into a diagnostic gray zone. Ontaneda also discusses the practical application of the updated criteria, the importance of longitudinal follow-up, and how emerging biomarkers may continue to refine MS diagnosis in the years ahead.  Looking for more Multiple sclerosis & demyelinating disorders discussion?

This month we begin a new series on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), exploring the diagnosis and management of this increasingly recognized condition in pediatric patients. In this episode, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Kirti Sivakoti, MD, provide an overview of POTS before discussing current approaches to diagnosis and recent updates in the field. We review the diagnostic criteria, including orthostatic symptoms and the degree of functional impairment, and consider how these factors help guide clinical evaluation and management.The conversation also examines the growing understanding of POTS as a spectrum disorder, with many patients experiencing overlapping symptoms and contributing conditions. Finally, we discuss how to distinguish POTS from vasovagal syncope and review current thinking on the underlying causes and pathophysiology of POTS. This episode provides pediatricians with a practical framework for recognizing and evaluating children and adolescents with orthostatic intolerance.Have a question? Email questions@vcurb.com.

Families seeking a diagnosis for a rare disease often face a protracted diagnostic odyssey that can include ER visits, specialist referrals, and dead ends, even at world-class medical centers. Parents bounce from doctor to doctor while payers absorb mounting costs, and the pivotal moment of putting a name to a disease—which can reduce unnecessary care and emotional distress—arrives late, if at all. Sunstone Health is seeking to industrialize the path to answers by using AI to scan claims data for patterns that flag likely genetic disease, recruiting high-risk families, and fast-tracking whole-genome sequencing through a top clinical lab. Sunstone Health founder Joshua Resnikoff discusses how his son's rare disease diagnostic odyssey gave rise to the company, how Sunstone is working to transform the path to a diagnosis, and its business model of relying on the savings it delivers to self-funded employers.

We're surrounded by plastics and environmental chemicals every day, but only recently have scientists begun to understand how deeply they may be affecting human health. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Shanna Swan to explore what the latest science reveals about plastics, fertility, hormone health, and the everyday habits that may be shaping our biology more than we realize. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We Examine: • Why scientists are increasingly concerned about declining sperm counts, fertility, and hormone health • What microplastics, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS actually do inside your body • Why heating food in plastic can dramatically increase exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals • The practical changes that may help you reduce exposure and support long-term health This conversation isn't about fear, rather it's about understanding how everyday exposures shape our health and where small, practical changes can make a meaningful difference.
