Today, we are tackling the topic of swelling, a symptom I often encounter in horses.Swelling, particularly in the udder or sheath, is usually accompanied by extremity swelling (peripheral edema) due to fluid pooling in the legs. Visible swelling is a common concern for horse owners. It is never a good sign, especially if it becomes chronic.The Lymphatic SystemWhen I see fluid retention in horses, I think about the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system maintains the fluid balance between the blood and tissues, excreting toxins and supporting the immune system. Fluid Retention Many owners fail to recognize fluid retention in their horses, mistaking it for weight gain. But they usually realize it when they notice the swollen or puffy tissues. Once these horses get put on a proper metabolic program, the swelling reduces, and they lose significant weight.Factors Contributing to Fluid RetentionFluid retention in horses can be the result of various factors. Insulin resistance and metabolic issues are common, but owners should consider thyroid health, liver function, and lymphatic efficiency. Damaged capillaries due to advanced insulin resistance can cause fluid leakage, and protein deficiencies can also result in fluid buildup, presenting a pot-bellied or bloated appearance.Movement is KeyA big reason for fluid retention is a lack of movement. Horses must move as their lymphatic system relies on movement to function properly. Their hooves play a vital role in circulating blood and lymph, and when horses stand still for long periods, the fluid retention worsens. So movement is essential, whether through exercise or simply encouraging them to walk around in their environment.Diet and Sugar ContentSugar content in a horse's diet, especially from grass, plays a significant role in fluid retention. Too much sugar leads to glycogen storage, which causes water retention. By controlling the sugar intake and increasing fiber, protein, and healthy fats, the swelling will reduce, and metabolic function will improve. However, diet alone will not solve the problem if the horse does not move enough.Allergies and Protein DeficiencyIf swelling persists despite addressing movement and sugar levels, it is worth exploring allergies or protein deficiencies. Sometimes, horses react to particular types of hay or even alfalfa, which may lead to inflammation and fluid retention. Ensuring a balanced protein intake is essential, as low protein can cause fluid to pool in the belly area.Stress and Hormonal FactorsStress affects insulin and cortisol levels, potentially damaging capillaries and leading to fluid retention. Movement is a great way to reduce stress and improve circulation, and exercise is a critical factor in managing insulin resistance and overall health.B6 and Magnesium SupplementsOnce the diet and movement of the horse are optimized, supplements can help address any remaining fluid retention. Vitamin B6 is my go-to, as it helps reduce fluid retention by acting as a diuretic and improving kidney function. Magnesium can also be helpful, but B6 is usually the most effective supplement.ConclusionFluid retention in horses is a common issue and often a sign of underlying problems like poor circulation, high blood sugar, or nutritional imbalances. Movement, diet, and stress management are the keys to addressing it, with supplements like B6 providing additional support if needed.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

Executive Producer Daniel Brown joins Louisiana Unfiltered host Kiran Chawla as they discuss the alarming rise in Interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. In the last three weeks, there have been four interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. Road rage-related shootings in the state have increased by over 400% from 2014 to 2023.While Louisiana ranks 22nd in the nation for road rage incidents involving guns, cities like New Orleans have seen a significant number of fatal and non-fatal shootings. The increase in road rage incidents is believed to be linked to impatience, speeding, tailgating, and aggressive driving. Law enforcement faces challenges in solving these cases due to limited surveillance cameras on interstates and the difficulty of identifying vehicles involved in high-speed incidents.Solutions to the problem are limited, but individuals can take precautions such as giving aggressive drivers space, avoiding arguments or obscene gestures, keeping windows up and doors locked, and calling 911 if feeling threatened. Slowing down and practicing patience can make a difference in preventing road rage incidents.#interstateshootings #roadrage #louisiana #BatonRouge #NewOrleans #podcast #LouisianaUnfiltered #KiranChawla #unfilteredTimestamps 02:29 The Impact of Road Rage Shootings on Families09:52 National Statistics on Road Rage Shootings16:08 Factors Contributing to Road Rage Incidents21:46 Concerns and Precautions for Interstate Travel26:12 Targeted Shootings and Challenges for Law Enforcement29:45 The Importance of Patience and Personal Safety35:29 Taking Precautions on the RoadLocal Sponsors For This Episode: Unspeakable: A True Crime Podcast by Kelly Jennings: Kelly is most recognizable for her sass and humor combined with a “no nonsense approach” to true crime story telling.

After the surrender of Japan that marked the end of the Second World War, American forces began to unravel clues to the existence of a disturbing secret program involving biological experiments carried out on human test subjects during the height of the conflict. Known as "Unit 731", the program has never been officially acknowledged, and although its existence is well established, the American government's secretive dealings with Japanese scientists led to an eastern counterpart to the controversial "Operation Paperclip" that ensued with Nazi scientists after the war. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the tragic history of Unit 731's war crimes, as well as the American effort to cover up its cooperation with the secretive group after the war, and finally, its possible connection to one of the most controversial alleged UFO incidents of all time.

Dr. Whitaker is back with us to talk about back-to-school health. He explains how children get virus and why it's more common for some children than others. We also chat about how stress and the introduction of new viruses during the holiday season also play a role. Dr. Whitaker gives some ideas on ways to minimize risks of getting sick so often and how often is actually “normal” to get sick for school aged children.TakeawaysRespiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces are common ways to contract viruses.Children's immature immune systems and increased exposure to other children in school contribute to their susceptibility to illness.Stress and the introduction of new viruses during the holiday season can weaken the immune system.Maintaining good hygiene, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and eating a balanced diet can support the immune system.Vaccines can help the immune system develop a memory for fighting specific viruses.Find Dr. Whitaker here:Austin's Concierge Pediatrician | Direct Primary Care | Lakeway (bluemonarchpediatrics.com)IG: @bluemonarchpediatricsThis episode is sponsored by BirthCo.

State of Cannabis Employment: A Deep Dive into the 2024 Jobs ReportKarson Humiston discuss the release of the Vangst annual cannabis industry 2024 jobs report with Bruce Barcott, a seasoned writer in the cannabis space, and Beau Whitney, the chief economist at Whitney Economics. The trio share insights into the current state of cannabis employment.They begin with a sense of optimism as they reveal that the industry has bounced back from a challenging period, adding almost 23,000 new jobs, bringing the total to 440,145 full-time equivalent positions as of early 2024. This marks a 5% year-over-year increase, driven by a national revenue increase of about 10%. However, they note that not all states have experienced growth, with some leading the way in job opportunities.Michigan, Missouri, and New Jersey are highlighted as the top three states for job additions, with Michigan adding over 11,000 jobs. Karson discusses the factors contributing to Michigan's growth, including lower product prices, increased legal market participation, and cannabis tourism from neighboring states like Ohio.Conversely, the episode also addresses the job losses in established markets such as California, Colorado, and Washington, attributing the decline to various challenges including profitability issues, oversupply, and changes in consumer behavior. The conversation touches on the need for state regulators to adapt their policies to support the health of cannabis businesses, not just focus on public safety.Looking ahead to 2024, the Karson predicts job growth in Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland, driven by new licenses and market maturation. They express concern for mature markets like Colorado, where businesses are struggling, and emphasize the importance of federal and state-level reforms to ensure the industry's sustainability.The episode concludes with their predictions for the 2025 jobs report, expressing optimism for continued growth, especially with potential federal reforms and international developments like Germany's move towards legalization. They encourage listeners to download and share the report to raise awareness of the job creation potential of the cannabis industry.Listeners can download the full 2024 jobs report at Vangst.com and use it to advocate for the cannabis industry's job creation potential. We encourage sharing the report with friends, employees, and politicians to support the industry's growth toward the goal of one million U.S. jobs. https://www.vangst.com/2024-jobs-report Timestamps00:00:00 - Introduction and Annual Jobs Report Release00:00:49 - Positive Growth in Cannabis Jobs00:02:20 - Significant Job Increases in Specific States00:04:47 - Michigan's Surprising Job Growth00:05:46 - Factors Contributing to Michigan's Job Increase00:06:41 - Predictions for Job Growth in Ohio00:07:20 - Potential Impact of Ohio's Market on Michigan00:08:28 - States Expected to Add Jobs in 202400:10:43 - Maryland's License Increase and Job Growth00:11:33 - States That Lost Jobs in 202300:12:36 - California's Job Loss and Industry Struggles00:13:47 - Economic Challenges in the Cannabis Industry00:15:54 - Delinquent Payments in the Cannabis Industry00:16:05 - Comparing Bad Debt Ratios00:17:30 - The Decline of Colorado's Cannabis Job Market00:18:28 - Future Predictions for Cannabis Job Growth00:19:44 - The Role of Regulators in Market Maturation00:21:13 - Right-Sizing License Structures00:23:09 - 2025 Job Growth Predictions00:24:40 - Potential Impact of New Markets00:25:16 - International Developments in Cannabis Reform00:26:07 - Global Cannabis Market Influence00:27:27 - Optimism for the Cannabis Industry's Future00:28:38 - Importance of the Annual Jobs Report00:29:10 - Advocacy and Political Engagement Produce By PodConxWatch Video - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNZI8qZy0lKxLO4OTk6P-twKarson Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karson-humiston-64572b97/Vangst - https://vangst.com/Recorded on SquadcastSound Design by Jamie Humiston

He concludes by discussing the power of streaking in avoiding the disappointment of success and invites listeners to explore streaking as a framework for personal growth and fulfillment. Takeaways The arrival fallacy is the belief that achieving a major goal will bring lasting happiness and satisfaction, but it often leads to disappointment. Successful individuals, such as Michael Phelps and Tom Brady, have experienced depression and a sense of emptiness after reaching their goals. The hedonic treadmill is the tendency to quickly adapt to changes in circumstances and return to a baseline level of happiness. Focusing on inputs, such as daily, weekly, and monthly streaks, can bring more joy and fulfillment than solely focusing on outcomes and achievements. Streaking offers a framework for personal growth and fulfillment by emphasizing the process, enjoying the journey, and becoming who you want to be.

Welcome to a riveting recap of our recent Admin Mastermind discussion, where we delved into the complex and critical issue of teacher attendance. The questions and answers shared during this session paint a vivid picture of the challenges and opportunities within our school communities. Current State of Teacher Attendance: We began by assessing the current state of teacher attendance in various schools. The trends that emerged included struggles with putting in late absences, difficulties finding coverage for classes, and an observed increase in teachers taking more days off than in the past. Factors Contributing to Attendance Challenges: Exploring the root causes, we identified systemic and individual factors. Mental and physical health, stress, and family needs were pinpointed as significant contributors to attendance challenges. Seeking Student Feedback: An intriguing aspect of our discussion centered on seeking feedback from students regarding attendance challenges. Suggestions included asking teachers about their individual needs and providing professional development on the substitute process to improve coverage. Influence of School Culture: The impact of school culture on teacher attendance was a focal point. Strategies included breaking down the perception that teachers must be at work at all costs, modeling healthy work-life balance as leaders, and fostering a supportive rather than punitive environment. Current Interventions and Support Systems: Our conversation touched on existing interventions, such as having a permanent substitute in the building, paying teachers for taking on extra responsibilities, and providing sub days to alleviate stress and catch up on work. Long-Term Strategies for Improvement: Looking ahead, long-term strategies were discussed, emphasizing the need to teach and empower teachers to simplify and be more efficient in their roles. Providing permission for self-care and efficiency emerged as a key theme for sustained improvement. This recap serves as a snapshot of the rich insights and strategies shared during our Admin Mastermind discussion on teacher attendance.
