45 years of combination experience. 2nd generation Firefighter. Like a good number of individuals I've been fortunate to interview being Chief was never on Rick's radar. He just wanted to be the best Firefighter Paramedic for his organization. And Rick could not settle for mediocrity. So he took the advice of a great mentor in his life who told him if he wasn't happy with the way things were to consider becoming a Fire Chief to effect change and that's exactly what he did. I don't need to further explain what this man has been able to do for the fire service as his work, reputation and name speaks for itself.IG: chieflasky

He took his first missions trip as a teen, joining a group who served on a domestic trip in the U.S. But after he encountered God as a young adult, everything changed with his passions, including a strong addiction to drinking. Displacing all of that in his heart was a love for Jesus, and His missions work, and today Jason Baugh has a part-time business that funds his many trips each year.

Several years back, I discovered I had two sisters and a brother on my birth Mother's side. I discovered this years back after researching and meeting up with my birth Mother while in my 20s and 30s. See, I was adopted at a couple of months old, coming from what Peggy, my birth Mother, led me to think were her many children all given up for adoption. I am the only known sibling to meet Peggy over the course of many years. During that time, I had no idea about my sisters until 2014, when a new Ohio law opened up birth records. This paved the way for two of my siblings to be located. A couple of years later, Andrew's daughter found me and Katie, my one sibling, through a DNA match online. Join me Thursday as I chat with my brother Andrew, who has had an amazing life serving his country as a member of the National Guard and his community as a firefighter. We'll discuss what service means to him, how we found one another as adults so many years later, and what it feels like to be reunited with siblings you never knew existed. Andrew Scott Monnin was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1978, two years after I then raised in Toledo and Columbus. He ran Cross Country in High School, then received a two-year associate degree from Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Military Emergency Medical Services. From that point, he worked as a firefighter and EMT for Harrison Township Fire Department in Dayton, Ohio, Oct/1999 through 2007. In 2007, he moved to Colorado and joined the Wyoming Army National Guard in March 2008. In 2011, he deployed one year to Afghanistan with Wyoming Cowboy DUSTOFF, and served with 10MTN and 82Airborne CAB. Andrew was awarded two Air Medals while deployed and later hired by the Thornton Fire Department in February 2012 as a Firefighter Paramedic. In Jan 2019, he returned to Afghanistan with Wyoming Cowboy DUSTOFF as Platoon SGT, and served with 1ST Armored Division CAB. While there, he was awarded one Air Medal.In 2021, he transitioned from FF/Paramedic to an Engineer/Driver at Thornton Fire Department. In January 2022, he was promoted to 1SG at the Wyoming Army Guard Unit.He is married to a wonderful wife who continues to moonlight as ER nurse. He has three children, Jordyn 24, Asher 12, Brayden, who is 10. They enjoy running, bike riding, snowboarding and the Colorado Sunshine.Visit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

Mike reached out to Dr. Baker to share his transformative health journey over the last seven years. From childhood, he experienced chronic stomach issues and anxiety related to his condition.

It seems like "experts" from many backgrounds seem to agree on the importance of protein, especially as one ages. Meeting a leucine threshold in a meal seems to be a common consensus as well. I love meat and hit that target with no issue 3x per day. However, what I've never heard any of these protein experts talk about is a "stimulus" threshold for MPS. They all talk about weight lifting being a MPS signal but I've never heard of a minimum required dose. I was wondering if in your reading/learning you've heard anyone talk about the minimum "strength workout" needed to initiate MPS. Or is it relative? Like my doing 2 sets of max rep pull ups gets a little MPS going but an hour long leg workout with leg press, deadlifts, RDLs, split squats triggers more? Any insights here would be appreciated! Thanks :)   Early onset Parkinsons and a different approach Amy says: First I want to say I love you guys. I'm always trying to obtain more knowledge in the health and wellness field as a Firefighter/Paramedic and Fitness Coach as a part time. Your show is easy and fast knowledge. Plus I love LMNT. The chocolate medley is my favorite. Now my question. Recently my husband had a hand tremor experience. Early in the morning in bed where it woke me up. He didn't mention it for a couple days but when he did I realized it concerned him as well. He is your typical male that doesn't want to seek medical advice and had to be dragged to the doctor years ago when I suspected a DVT. We found out he had the largest his physician had seen from his ankle to his hip and 3 PEs. ( Pre covid, no he is not vaccinated) we found out it was a genetic disorder. Since the tremor, in my own research I feel like he has a lot of early signs for Parkinsons which I may be me jumping ( but so was the DVT at the time) but this is so concerning. We take a more functional approach to our health and I was wondering your thoughts on that for Parkinsons. I have a previous client where we found weight training really helped his tremors but also any emotional response could make it worse. My husband is healthy, 45, weight trains multiple times a week and does a lot of zone 2 training. Only medical history is the clotting disorder for which he takes Eliquis. Sorry for the long question. Thanks in advance.   Kidney function and protein with age Dawn says: Hello Robb and Nicki, A friend of mine in her late 40's is following a mostly paleo diet and has been increasing animal proteins and working on resistance training to increase muscle mass the last few years to help with healthy aging, glucose control, maintaining function etc. She has recently started including creatine supplementation to help with brain and muscle function as per all sorts of recommendations from various ppl in the healthy aging and menopause space. She has relatively low body fat (visible abs and shoulder muscles) and has only a couple drinks a week. She uses LMNT daily. She just received blood work results showing higher than normal creatinine and ALT levels and is wondering whether to stop creatine supplements. Also, she will be booking in to see a renal doc to discuss further but is worried because all conventional advise for kidney disease Appears to be: go on a low protein diet, eat vegetable oils, “healthy” whole grains etc….which completely flies in the face of her experience of better health and body comp for years on a more ancestral style diet with increasing protein over time. She has experienced several UTIs in the last year which could be due to estrogen dropping post hysterectomy (therefore she is menopausal) and recently had covid…so there is a history now of urinary infection AND it seems that some people experience renal issues post virus. Any suggestions on protein and creatine? Resources we can research so she can make informed choices? It's scary that the conventional dietary changes are totally opposite what someone needs to do to retain good muscle mass as one ages, and they seem to promote higher glucose levels over time which we know will lead to diabetes. Thanks so much for any light you can shed. It can be difficult when you are trying to buck the normal trend of decline with middle age by doing seemingly the opposite of what the doctors tell us to do.

During that tour he completed 80 combat medical missions, 125 combat flight hours and earned himself two Air Medals.  One mission that stands out to him was a rescue call out for a FOB (Forward Operating Base) that was hit during a sandstorm.  Currently Frank is working in Tulsa, Oklahoma as a firefighter, a paramedic, and with heavy rescue and rope rescue units. He is also part of the USAR Team (Urban Search and Rescue) and the HSAR Team (Helicopter Search and Rescue), which can and have been deployed all over the country.  Enjoy!   https://therealresq.com/home https://www.facebook.com/therealresq https://www.instagram.com/therealresq   Thank you for sponsoring this episode of The Real ResQ; Breeze-Eastern, https://www.breeze-eastern.com/ Axnes https://www.axnes.com/ Life Saving Systems Corporation https://lifesavingsystems.com/ SR3 Rescue Concepts, https://sr3rescueconcepts.com/
