We reflected on the past year, media manipulation, and how history is not just recorded, it's curated. From the moon landing and NASA to Antarctica and the 60th parallel, we explored why some questions are ridiculed and how power shapes perception.I expected to talk bullion markets, gold, and silver, but instead we went into hidden histories, technology, and narrative control before coming back to money.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others.   As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be.   It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers.    Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

Send a textIn this episode of Functional Medicine Bitesized, I had the opportunity to sit down with Chris Fitzmaurice, clinical exercise physiologist at the University of Miami Health System and certified cancer exercise specialist, to explore the powerful role of exercise as medicine in cancer care.It was a fascinating chat unpacking how aerobic and resistance training act as “molecular medicine”—modulating inflammation, supporting the immune system, and changing the tumor microenvironment to make standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation more effective and better tolerated. Chris used a brilliant analogy explaining how exercise can be thought of as turning the tumor's “paradise beach” into “Antarctica,” disrupting its ability to thrive.Listen in to hear more about personalised exercise prescription for different cancer types and stages, the emerging science of myokines and exerkines as well as the mental health impact of movement, including how exercise can prevent and treat depression in cancer survivorsWe also discussed highly practical strategies including one of my all time favourites, "exercise snacks" and why, when it comes to exercise, anything is better than nothing. Links mentioned in this episode@exercisebeatdiseases https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-fitzmaurice-ms-cep-cscs-cet-106b5633?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appThanks for listening to our podcast and please feel free to get in touch: Tweet us at @fmedassociates Follow us on Instagram or Facebook @petewilliams_fma Email us on info@fm.associates For more information about our services please visit our website www.functional-medicine.associates We would love to hear from you!

Long-term missions to the Moon and Mars will need a good understanding of the machines, the environment – and the people. Friction among crew members could make a mission much less productive – or even endanger lives. To minimize the risk, scientists are trying to understand how people get along during long periods of isolation. They’ve conducted test runs in laboratories. They’ve set up habitats on volcanoes and remote islands. They’ve studied research bases in Antarctica. And they’ve sent volunteers into the oceans. As with space travel, an undersea habitat is isolated and cramped, and the environment can be deadly. So it’s important for the crew to get along. NASA has conducted quite a few underwater expeditions. For many of them, astronauts spent a few days or weeks in a habitat off the coast of Florida. They conducted experiments both inside and outside the lab. They tested equipment and techniques that might be used in space. And scientists checked out how well they worked as a team. Recently, the European Space Agency sent 25 volunteers on a two-month trip aboard a submarine. Scientists used questionnaires to check on the volunteers. They also took samples of hair and saliva. The results helped track stress markers, changes in the immune system, and other reactions – better understanding the human factor in long-term missions to other worlds.

Send me a text message:A cargo jet that doesn't dogfight, doesn't sneak, and rarely breaks the speed of sound reshaped modern power by doing one thing better than anyone else: showing up with the right cargo, at the right place, right on time. We dig into the C‑17 Globemaster's improbable rise from near‑cancellation to cornerstone of air mobility, and why professionals talk logistics when the stakes are highest.We take you from the Cold War gap that demanded a new kind of airlifter to the audacious requirements that forced a revolution in design. Externally blown flaps, a full HUD, and a protective fly‑by‑wire system let a 585,000‑pound jet land on 3,500‑foot strips and turn quickly with minimal support. Inside, the cargo bay becomes a shape‑shifter—moving an M1 Abrams, 18 pallets, or over a hundred paratroopers with minutes of reconfiguration—collapsing the distance between plan and presence. Along the way, we unpack how Boeing's merger stabilized production, turning early turbulence into a platform nine nations rely on.From Iraq and Afghanistan to the 2004 tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the C‑17 proved that logistics is strategy. We revisit REACH 871's extraordinary Kabul evacuation of 823 civilians, a moment that showed both the aircraft's capacity and the crew's courage. Then we go low and quiet with CDS airdrops and special operations missions, and far and cold to blue ice runways in Antarctica. Viewer stories round it out with firsthand details: green‑lit cabins, short‑field landings that feel like magic, and the odd wrong‑airport arrival that still ends safely.

Science and the Sea podcast

Some of the clouds that waft across the Southern Ocean may have an icky source: penguin poop. Ammonia in the poo mixes with other chemicals in the air. That creates the “seeds” that form water droplets, which clump together to make clouds. Water doesn't form droplets on its own. It has to have something to glom on to—a grain of dust, a bit of pollen, or some other solid particle. Some of the particles are known as aerosols. They form when different chemicals link up in the air. And the clouds they create are brighter than other clouds, so they reflect more sunlight—helping control Earth's temperature. And that's what appears to be happening with the poop. Researchers discovered the connection during the summer of 2023. They were studying the atmosphere from an island off the northernmost tip of Antarctica. That part of the continent has two large colonies of Adelie penguins—about 45,000 breeding pairs in all. When the winds blew across the island from the open ocean, the air contained almost no ammonia. But when the wind blew in from the continent, the amount of ammonia in the air increased by a factor of a thousand—picked up from the penguin poo. When the penguins moved to their winter grounds, the amount of ammonia dropped, but still remained high—carried from the leftover poo. The ammonia mixed with sulfur produced by microscopic organisms in the ocean to produce aerosols—the “seeds” for clouds over the Southern Ocean. The post Poopy Clouds appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

This episode covers: • Mic-628 Could Reset Your Body Clock and Cut Jet Lag in Half A new circadian drug candidate, Mic-628, has demonstrated the ability to shift the body's internal clock and significantly reduce jet-lag recovery time in early human studies. In controlled simulations, participants experienced faster realignment of their sleep-wake cycles and improved daytime performance compared to standard approaches like melatonin and light timing alone. Dave explains how this compound targets a core clock pathway, why eastbound travel is biologically harder than westbound, and how pharmacologic chronotherapy could become a serious performance tool for frequent travelers and shift workers. He also connects circadian alignment to obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and cognitive decline, outlining what this breakthrough could mean if safety data continues to hold. • Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/top/ • Late-Life Depression May Signal Parkinson's or Dementia New research from Shanghai Jiao Tong University found that new-onset depression in older adults is strongly associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease and dementia. Dave reframes this finding as a brain health signal rather than a purely psychiatric issue, explaining how inflammation, microglial activation, vascular health, and neurodegeneration intersect with mood changes. He breaks down why sudden depression in someone with no prior history may warrant deeper cognitive testing, sleep evaluation, and metabolic screening instead of simply prescribing an antidepressant and moving on. This story highlights the importance of treating mood shifts as early biological data in a longevity framework. • Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040623.htm • Speed-Training Brain Games Reduced Dementia Risk by 25 Percent The long-running NIH-funded ACTIVE trial found that a specific speed-of-processing training program reduced dementia incidence by roughly 25 percent over two decades. Unlike memory or reasoning exercises, this visual processing speed protocol produced measurable long-term protection. Dave explains why reaction time and processing speed may be core capacities tied to cognitive resilience, and how structured brain-training programs descended from this research can be treated like strength training for the mind. Instead of vague advice to “stay mentally active,” this data supports building deliberate, trackable cognitive training into a midlife longevity plan. • Sources: – NPR summary: https://www.npr.org/2026/02/09/nx-s1-5702423/modest-mental-exercise-can-reduce-risk-of-dementia-for-decades-study-finds – Psychology Today analysis: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/build-your-brain/202602/new-study-means-the-age-of-dementia-prevention-begins-now • Moderate Coffee Intake Linked to Slower Brain Aging A large analysis of roughly 130,000 participants found that moderate coffee consumption, about one to three cups daily, was associated with markers of slower brain aging and lower dementia risk. Dave explains why moderate, morning-weighted caffeine intake may align acute performance benefits with potential long-term brain protection. He breaks down the dose curve, why more is not necessarily better, and how to use coffee strategically without compromising sleep or circadian rhythm. Rather than framing caffeine as either a miracle or a villain, this study supports intelligent, personalized dosing as part of a broader brain-health stack. • Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00409-y • Kratom Crackdowns and the Future of Supplement Freedom Regulators are tightening restrictions on high-potency kratom derivatives such as 7-hydroxymitragynine, with new bans and stricter warning requirements emerging at the state level. The FDA continues to treat kratom and its concentrated derivatives as unapproved drugs with opioid-like effects, while local jurisdictions are targeting specific formulations linked to adverse events. Dave breaks down how this represents a broader shift in how edge-case compounds are regulated, why supply volatility and underground markets can increase risk, and what this means for biohackers who experiment with gray-area tools. He also explains how evolving enforcement strategies could shape future access to peptides, nootropics, and other advanced compounds. • Sources: – Kansas City coverage: https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/strong-high-weak-laws-7-oh-ban-kratom-regulation-moves-forward-in-kansas-city-missouri – Florida policy coverage: https://www.wgcu.org/health/2026-02-04/kratom-advocates-tout-its-properties-but-legislators-want-strict-warnings-about-the-herbal-supplement – Legal landscape analysis: https://www.lumalexlaw.com/2025/10/09/kratoms-legal-future-how-states-and-the-federal-government-are-responding/ – FDA background: https://www.fda.gov/news-events/public-health-focus/fda-and-kratom All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

Send a textThe hardest stories rarely get told in the places that need them most. Susan Roggendorf and I open the door to how confidentiality truly works for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and medics—and why airtight boundaries are the backbone of real therapeutic change. No nods in public that out you, no name drops across departments, and no casual mentions that break trust. HIPAA is the law, but it is also a lived ethic that lets you speak freely without risking your reputation or your career.We get candid about the therapist–client relationship: professional, paid, and deeply human. It feels friendly at times because safety grows where pain is met with care. We talk about scheduling like chess to avoid back-to-back clients from the same team, navigating community run-ins, and letting clients choose whether to say hello or keep distance. Culture fit matters—dark humor, blunt talk, and straight answers help first responders feel seen. Sometimes the most therapeutic move is five minutes of sports talk to let your nervous system shift gears before you tackle the call you can't shake.We dig into vicarious trauma and why “talk to a friend” isn't enough. Friends can support you; therapists are trained to hear what is unsaid, track patterns over time, and offer clear choices: do you want support or solutions today? That simple question hands back control when so much of the job strips it away. We challenge the quiet shaming of help-seeking and argue for a culture that treats mental health like gear maintenance—nonnegotiable for readiness and longevity.If you've wondered whether a therapist will keep your confidence, or how therapy can actually work for your world, you'll hear real practices that protect privacy and deepen trust. Walk away with language to set boundaries, insight into how clinicians think, and a clearer path to care that respects the badge and the person behind it.To reach Susan, please go to https://psychhub.com/us/provider/susan-roggendorf/1316326036If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with your crew, and leave a review so more first responders can find it.

Do you want your patients to feel confident and cared for and to become raving fans about your practice? Kiera takes listeners through specific steps to help practices refine what their patients go through upon entering to exiting your office. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I'm excited for a quick tactical practical tip for you guys that I just think is magical. And I'll start with like a story about it to kind of kick us off. ⁓ Jason and I, we just recently went to Ruth's Chris. We decided we were gonna do a day date and Jason and I, went to the spa. I convinced him to go to the spa. He's not like obsessed about it, but really loved in like the hot tub room that they actually turned on a football game for him. So.   I don't know how the spa gods were on my side that day, but they definitely were. And then we decided to go to Ruth's Chris. And if you guys are familiar with Ruth's Chris, ⁓ it's ⁓ an amazing steakhouse. And ⁓ I noticed when we went in there, there was just a different vibe. And I've been very obsessive about high-end restaurants, reading the book, Unreasonable Hospitality. I think I'm more aware of it. If you guys haven't read that book, I definitely recommend putting that on your book wish list. And what was interesting is,   When we came in, they said, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Dent, great to see you. And they took us back to our table and the waitress was so kind to us. And she said, here's this information. What information do you guys need? There were seat spot for us. The busser came through and was like, we really love working with people like you. You guys just make our life so much easier. They're like, here, let's just box this up for you. You made great choices for you. They had all of our stuff boxed for us. The presentation was beautiful.   They didn't come by and they weren't annoying to us, but they were so genuine to us. And then as we were leaving, they said, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Dent. And they knew all about us. Okay. So that was one experience. Another experience has been Jason and I were in Bali and we went to the four seasons and I remember if you've been to Bali, you'll understand. Jason and I both got Bali belly. And if you haven't heard mine was, I got it on our flight home. I've never in all my years of flying, knock on wood, I've never once thrown up ever on a plane.   Mine is my flight home that was a nice nine hour flight from Taiwan to San Francisco. And I threw up and had diarrhea the entire freaking time of that flight. I had thrown up about 13 times in two hours and I figured out, if I can make a system for this, like it was hold the vomit bag, go to the bathroom and brush my teeth all at the same time. I realized you can create a system for anything. So that's a little bit beside the point. So I'm here to tell you about great experiences. But at the four seasons, they were top notch. They had an app. They would text us.   When I asked them like, hey, you guys have any medicine? They're like, ⁓ we don't have medicine. Here's the pharmacy. We can get it for you. We'll have it to your room. They had it to our room for us. They brought different things for us because they knew that we were sick. They had a turndown service for us. They paid attention to our likes. Our wants, made sure everything was done every single night for us. It was one of the most incredible experiences. And I think about it, like people are like, Kiera, you traveled all over the world. You've gone to Antarctica. You go to these places. And I'm like, Bali, even though I threw up for eight hours on my flight home.   Bollywood one of my most amazing experiences and I'm like, what was it? Like it was how I felt at Four Seasons. It was how I felt of everybody was so happy for us to be there. They were so grateful for us to be there. People would say hello to us. They knew our names as we walked through. And ⁓ I've just been paying attention to like Ruth's Chris was recent. The Four Seasons was another one. And then I think about other experiences that maybe weren't as great. I think about...   Hotels Jason and I we flew home. We missed a flight coming home from an international flight So we had to snag a hotel the only hotel available for us was a hotel I will not say But it was we'll just say a budget-friendly hotel and I remember we checked in and no one was there They weren't happy to see us. They were annoyed to see us the shuttle. I'm not joking you It was supposed to be there in 15 minutes We waited two hours to get our shuttle and they kept telling us one's on the way one's on the way. They were like you need to call this person By the time we got there our bed was dirty   The bathroom was broken. And I just thought, man, I remember that experience. I don't remember the Four Seasons experience, but which one do I want to go back to? Which one do I tell my friends about? Which one am I like, I threw up and I was so sick from Bali. You guys, would never recommend doing a cooking class internationally. I know exactly what caused our sickness. my gosh. And my stomach like to this day still hurts about it. But yeah, I loved that trip so much because of how I felt. And so that's what I want to go into today of   the patient experience in designing and creating a journey that the patient wants to be a part of and they want to rave about. And I know we've talked about this at several other times ⁓ because it's something where I remember I was at a conference once and they said, Kiera, what people remember is the beginning and the end. They don't really remember the middle. And so in dental practice, it's our beginning. It's our first phone calls and it's the end on how they leave. Yes, they might remember the middle of the procedure, but typically speaking, it's those, those two points in anything like think about a show you go to. You usually remember the beginning.   You remember the end. think about Taylor Swift and I'm like, definitely remember the countdown clock. Like I can remember that. remember everything coming out. Middle, like there was a lot going on and the ending, everybody can remember that. But, and yes, there are still things and that's not to say the middle can't be great, but we want to make sure that it is this experience that people are so obsessed with because we want to help them feel so good. And I think the dental office is such an intimate space. Dentistry is intimate. Everything that we do in dentistry is intimate. And so if we can help patients feel   a certain way and that doesn't mean we have to be perfect, but it does mean that we create a patient experience and a patient journey for them. So for me, even in Dental A Team, it should be that the patient experience, our customer experience is very intentional and not accidental. So we kind of think through it, like what do want our patients to feel? What do we want our patients to say about us? And it's also crazy because you can go look at your reviews right now and see what the patient experience is today.   what you've created maybe not intentionally or intentionally. Just go read it. What is it? For us at Dental A Team, I want people to feel like it's fun. I want it to feel like it's easy. I want people to feel like, my gosh, like they understood me, that they're thinking ahead of where I'm at, that they can guide us and that we are non-judgmental and that you and your team are gonna rise to the next level. Go read our reviews. That's what it is. But that's by intentionality and design. That's our core values. That's what we talk about constantly. It's how we onboard our consultants.   It's how we refine. how we take feedback from clients of if they're not getting it, how can we make this process easier? How can we make it easier for our consultants? How can we give better education? Like what can we do because that's the experience we want them to have. And so, ⁓ this is going to be an episode. If you really want patients to feel like super confident and cared for and to become raving fans for you to where they love the dentist, you have an opportunity to change how people feel about going to the dentist. And I think it's an amazing opportunity if you choose to do it. So   Number one is like, let's think about first impression. Remember, like it's the it's the end caps. And I think if we can even just design those two really, really intentionally, like four seasons and Roos Chris, did you notice in both of those? And this is not on purpose. I just sharing the story. I talked about my entrance and my exit at Bali. We were freaking sick on that last day. And I remember that the most more than anything. Yes, they did the turn down service and that was great. But I didn't talk about our New Year's Eve dinner that we had. I didn't talk about the waiters like none of that.   And as I think back, I'm like, yeah, that was really nice. I remember our first initial and our ending. Same thing with Ruth, Chris, how they entered us and how they exited. I talked about both of those. Go back and rewind. And that was not on purpose, but this even just proves my point that the experiences you remember are those end caps, the beginning and the end. So what is our presence? So number one is how do we answer the phone on the first new patient impression? That's going to be it. I talked about this just recently. If you haven't heard that, go back and listen, but like, how do we greet people? And are we like smiling when we answer? Are we excited or are we like,   Oh my gosh, another freaking phone call, like, hello. Right? I don't know if any of you had a mom who had a mom voice where she's like, Kiera Cherie. And I was like, hello. My mom was like, I didn't do that. I'm like, oh mom, you did. And you had the snap and you'd give me those mom eyes, right? Moms had those two voices. My sister's husband, he was like, my mom used to like snarl at me with her teeth. My mom didn't do the teeth, but we all know like, and I feel like that's how it should be like, we could be busy in the patients, but as soon as that phone rings, I want our front office to feel like.   my gosh, I am so excited to be answering this phone call. We are so excited you're here. Like almost like buddy the elf, like you're so excited. Maybe not that enthusiastic, but like that same sentiment. We are so excited. So we want it to be this like welcoming. We are happy you're here. We're not annoyed that you're here. And that's the very first impression. And then when they come into the practice, this is our next first impression. And if we botch our phone, we oftentimes can make it up on our second, but I will tell you that first phone impression is going to be paramount. So get our best person answering those.   best person and all of our front office team needs to realize when you answer the phone, you go on stage and you like sit up and you smile, even put mirrors up there so they can see themselves. You guys, not a joke. My mom said I was so vain. She gave me a like desk with a mirror and I used to sit there and talk on the phone in front of the mirror. And I was like, why do you do this? And I'm like, mom, like watch how I talk and I look at things and I look at, I practice my smile and it could have been a little vanity. Uh, but I know it's helped me present and be able to speak. And I guarantee you a lot of that mirror training.   is why I'm able to go present on stage today and be able to engage and invoke emotion because I practiced for a long time in the mirror. So having that mirror, having people see how they are, because if I'm sitting down, I'm like, hey guys, welcome to the podcast versus, hey guys, welcome to the podcast. You feel two very different things. And I feel too, I'm like super jazz on the second one. The first one I'm like, cool, I got a freaking podcast today. No, like I'm excited. I'm excited to hang out with you. I'm honored that you share your time with me. So we want it to be, and whatever your experiences, and some doctors you might not be like Kiera level 20.   Well, guess what? My team is Kiera level 20. We want to answer the phone in that level. If you are more like subdued and you're more like spa boutique, your phone needs to answer. Like I would be utterly shocked if I called the spa and they're like, hi, welcome to the spa. I'd be like, whoa, tone it down. Like this is the spa. And that's even Kiera who's excited. The dental office, it's like welcoming and engaging and like, hi, I'm like so excited you called. We're truly going to take great care of you. And I'm really excited to bring you into the practice. Notice I even have a patient voice that's different than my podcast voice, which is different than a spa.   My spa was like, hi, welcome to Serenity Spa. I'm so glad you're here. And I'm Kyra Dent and I'm changing right here, but it's because I feel that. And that's what I want people to experience in our phone and how people walk in is going to be our first step. So we need you to truly train and what is it? And if you haven't built this for your front office team, help them see this is what our, this is what our patient experience is. We want a confident, energetic, calm, whatever it is, first interaction. And we want our   online experience. our website, our scheduling, our messaging, our phone messaging to follow that same experience. So if that's our first impression, they're still filling it. Then they want to make the phone call. And we want to just like reduce any friction. How can I make this easier? I'm going to send you the paperwork. I'm going to schedule you now. I'm going to make sure I get this back in 48 hours. So I've got your appointment confirmed. This is how we're going to work. And I'm also setting clear expectations of we are so excited to have you here. And these are the rules of the game that we play by.   You notice like I even feel myself go into like a confident and welcoming human. That's our first experience. And if you will refine this, you will start to notice you train your patients from day one of we are so happy to have you. This is how we operate. We have you run on time. We have you send in our information. You always confirm your appointments 48 hours ahead of time. And we are so excited to welcome you to our family, whatever it is. listening to our new patient phone calls, experiencing that, putting the mirrors up there.   And then it's a, when the patient comes into the practice, let's make sure that that's an amazing experience too. Is our waiting room area clean? Do we have our front office person? You guys like, it drives me wild when I walk into a practice and it is cluttery with paper. You guys clear that clutter and make it clean. Dental practices need to be sterile. Yes, you can have cutesy stuff, but it still needs to feel clean and sterile. Front office team members, I'm gonna be a little bit hard right now. Do not freaking eat food in the front where patients can see you.   Go to the back. watch it so often. You're just sitting there like you break your crack or anything. No one can see you. They can. They see crumbs. It just feels. People can feel perfection. They can feel cleanliness. They can feel dirtiness. And this isn't me like ripping into you. I bend that person. I used to my snack drawer down there. That's not professional and that shouldn't be in the front office. Get it into the back office. Let's make sure it's clean. You can have all your cups. You can have all the things, but it needs to be clean. It needs to be sterile. It needs to be welcoming and inviting. Think about when you walk into a hotel. It's very inviting. Some   junkie janky and you're like, I don't want to stay here. Some are like, my gosh, this is amazing. Same thing with restaurants. How do we want our patients to feel? Let's make sure that the ambiance feels the same way. Even if your front office is on the phone, you can always welcome and say hi. Like while you're on the phone, I'll be right with you. That way they can feel super welcomed or like, hey, here's an iPad. I'll chat with you. And then as soon as like, Kiera, I'm so happy you're here. Welcome to the practice. Let me grab you a bottle of water. Do you prefer stilled or, or like do you prefer room temperature or chilled?   little small things that does not take a lot of effort, but that sets a very different impression rather than welcome to the practice. Okay. So let's make sure that first impression is very, very important. This is that first end block of the practice and patient experience. It's going to make it radically different for you and your practice. Then on the other side, is it's going to be during the visit? We need to make sure that we're still well oiled because if our front and end of those bookends are good, but the middle is ick.   They're going to actually remember that more than they remember these polished pieces. So the middle doesn't have to be like perfect perfection every time. what? Dentistry runs long. But as often as we can, let's be on time to our patients. Let's make sure that we have really clean handoffs. Let's make sure that when we are presenting our exams doctors that we use that NDTR. What's the next visit? What's the date? What's the time to return and make sure our re-care cleanings are scheduled. Make sure that the patient has that every time. Look me in the eyes. Involve me in that experience of patient, doctor, clinician. We're here.   All right, Kiera, we wanna see you back in two weeks for that crown on the upper right. We're gonna take great care of you. I need about an hour and a half for that. And we'll make sure that sister Susie over here gets you scheduled for your cleaning. What questions do you have for me? I'm really excited to work with you. Great, they know. And I will tell you if doctors will take the little bit of time to be super concise and clear on next steps, next visit, that's what people are remembering. So again, remember, yes, you've got the bookends of the appointment.   but also within the appointment in the chair, they're remembering how you seat them and how you end. Doctors, the essay heard the exam, but they're remembering your anchoring point of your end point. So nail that end point. Clinical team members, remember the end point. I used to try to like make jokes at the beginning and then have a good time at the end because I knew that that's what they were going to remember. Even if the procedure was hard, I still made sure that they had a great experience at the end. And if it was a hard procedure, I'm like, gosh, you did such a good job. I'm really, really proud of you. You did it.   you're gonna have the best results after this, whatever it is, but just make sure that they're clear, especially on exams. There is nothing worse than confusion. Confusion is the enemy of execution. So be crystal clear on where we're headed. And then after that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna let them know like, here's the next visit, here's what's gonna happen, we're gonna move them through it. This way your patients are so crystal clear on what's going on. And then at the end,   We have an amazing experience. So front office team, you're back on the, you're the shining stars. You welcome them in, you talk to them on the phone, and then you're the last impression. So making sure your people who are sitting in those seats recognize their role and their value in this whole experience. So on this, it's a perfect, let's get you scheduled. I make this really easy for them. Beautiful. What questions do you have for me? We say the same thing from what they said in the clinical team to the front office team. Front office has really good notes. So the clinical team just picks it right up.   And we have this in here of a very, very, very good experience at the end. Then if they had a great experience, I asked them for a review and say, Hey, I'd love you to share your experience with us. I can't wait to see you next time. Gosh, you're seriously one of my favorite patients. And I'm so grateful you're a part of our practice. That's not that hard, but what's that patient? You remember, gosh, they loved me when I came in, they loved me when I went out. And what it is, is it's not all these little pieces. It's the experience of how they felt just like me. I didn't tell you all the nuances of Ruth's Chris   I didn't tell you that my steak was amazing. I didn't tell you I had sweet potatoes. None of that. What I did tell you is how I felt at both. And guess what? I could have told you any experience, but I told you what's crazy is even at the spa, the football game was at the end. I didn't even tell you about my massage. I told you about the little thing that stood out to me. And remember, bad things actually could be what your patient's experiencing, even though you think you've got good pieces. If I've got an amazing welcoming, but I've got a jerk of a team member who's rude,   they're gonna remember that, cause that's gonna stand out way shinier than this one. And sometimes my doctor can be amazing, but your front office cannot be the same experience and it feels disjointed. And so you gotta make sure that you're, you have a team that's very similar and that we talk about what is our experience? How do I patients to feel? What are our core values? This is culture, but it's patient experience too. And if we get a whole team rallied around this, you're going to be able to have massive raving fans, but it's done with ease. So doing simple little things. So what I would say is when we have this of,   Let's go through number one, what is our patient experience? How do we want patients to feel? Look at our reviews and see what are they already saying and is that what we want? And if not, let's change it. Then let's make sure our phone calls, our website and our first impression when they come into the practice is dialed in and exactly what we want. Let's make sure are in the middle, pretty dang good. Doctors, you're ending with great exams. Clinical team members were ending with a great experience at the end of the exam. And then we take them up to front office and front office, we shine, we dazzle and we are so grateful to have these patients.   Now, if you're listening as a front office team member, you're like, I absolutely don't want to do that. It might be a wrong seat for you. I'm just going to say that front office team members are on stage. Just like I don't want to put a Disneyland, like someone who absolutely hates greeting guests and like putting them through the ticket counter. If they're like, I hate this job. They're, they're not the person. Cause that patient's going to feel that that guest is going to feel like, ⁓ checking into a hotel. I've got the person who's like, gosh, here you are. This is just a job and you're driving me nuts versus the person like, we are so happy you're here.   Make sure I've got right people in right seats for this experience. And that's critical. They could be the right team member, just the wrong seat. So let's make sure if you're listening to this, that you love this. I truly do. And I know Tiff does, and I know Kristy does, and I know Dana does, Britt actually, she's not the front desk. She doesn't like that guys. So she's not always on the podcast. And if Britt was listening, she'd be like, that's correct. I prefer back scenes. She likes to be there. Shelbi, you've never heard Shelbi on the podcast, cause she's like hard past no Kiera, that's not who I am.   but I've got all my consultants who would be like, yeah, Trish put her on. She'd love it. She'd say to the friend, she'd make everybody her best friend, Monica, Pam. They'd love it. So make sure you've got right people, right seat, and then make sure you really commit to having this incredible patient experience and you can check it. Let's do a monthly review, like do an audit of what are the top things the reviews are saying, have Chat GPT help you. There's easy ways to make sure that what we want of our patient experience is what patients are saying. And if not commit to change, it's how patients feel that they're going to remember more than it's what you say.   And if we can help you guys reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. These are the small annoying like cobwebs that make the big difference for patients that we are obsessed about helping you with. So reach out, running a successful practice does not have to be hard and it can be very easy for you. So reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

What if the line between “medicine” and “forbidden” has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with permission? This episode gives you a clear framework for understanding peptides, research chemicals, and performance enhancement so you can think for yourself instead of outsourcing your biology Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dylan Gemelli for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the underground world of biohacking, research chemicals, and human performance. Dylan is a long-time biohacker, educator, and researcher who came out of the bodybuilding world and spent more than a decade studying peptides, SARMs, nootropics, and gray-area compounds. He brings first-hand experience, deep research literacy, and a rare ability to explain what these compounds actually do, where the risks are, and why most doctors will never talk about them. Together, they unpack what “research chemicals” really means, why peptides technically fall into that category, and how legality often has little to do with biological reality. They explore compounds like MK-677, S4, and other SARMs, how they interact with growth hormone, muscle, strength, and recovery, and why some of these tools can be more powerful than peptides when used with intention and restraint. Dave also shares his own experiences rebuilding his health using underground tools, why he refuses to ask for permission to take care of his body, and how performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and real-world function. You'll Learn: • What research chemicals actually are and why peptides fall into that category • How compounds like MK-677 stimulate growth hormone and affect muscle and recovery • Why SARMs differ from steroids and where the real risks come from • The difference between tobacco and nicotine and why low-dose nicotine can support brain optimization • How performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and functional medicine thinking • Why strength and neurological drive matter more than size alone • How to think clearly about supplements, nootropics, and biohacking tools without fear or hype • Why taking responsibility for your biology is not cheating Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

A reminder that you can find the sources and links and a transcript and more info for every story mentioned here in the show notes. Quick reminder: We are just over one week from our first Moms' Night Out event of the year. While the plans are all set – the speakers, the vendors, the raffles and the fun is ready to go, it's always amazing how many people hear of these event last minute. That's fine, they're welcome! But if you're thinking of attending a future event – registration is open for We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and Detroit in September – no need to wait. And we've got Club 1921 events for health care professionals and patient leaders in 6 cities this year! All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/   Okay.. our top story this week: XX Gotta be a quick shout out to some incredible T1D athletes – we had TWO in the super bowl this past weekend – Chad Muma of the New England Patriots and Logan Brown of the Seattle Seahawks AND there are at least two athletes with type 1 competing at the Winter Olympics. Hannah Schmidt competes in ski cross for Canada – she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12 years old.  Anna FarnSchadt Fernstäd a Czech skeleton racer diagnosed in 2022 after she'd already been to several Olympics. We wish them all the best!   https://english.radio.cz/skeleton-racer-anna-fernstadtova-overcoming-adversity-headfirst-down-ice-8876699 XX The government website TrumpRx.gov is live..  the website does not sell prescription drugs. Instead, it allows people to look up their drugs and then navigate to buy them elsewhere, either from a major drug company or a pharmacy. The 43 drugs listed on the site have prices ranging from $3 to over $5,500. TrumpRx does include warnings that the site may not be the best option to save money on prescriptions. Each product page advises: "If you have insurance, check your co-pay first — it may be even lower." For now, the website says its prices are for people paying with their own money, rather than going through insurance. The only insulin listed right now is Lilly's insulin lispro – and it's the same price as you'd find through Illy's insulin value program. I looked up diabetes meds.. For example, if you have an insurance co-pay of $25 a month for Farxiga, a drug often used for diabetes, you would be paying $182 on TrumpRx. As you can imagine, though ,this is complicated and as with most of our healthcare system, it may be good in some cases and not much help in other.  I'd suggest calling your local pharmacist or checking with your human resource dept. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/health/trumprx-prescription-drug-prices-consumers.html XX Novo Nordisk will launch some doses of its oral semaglutide for diabetes under the brand name Ozempic pill in the second quarter of this year. The company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Ozempic tablets in three different doses. Novo says The new Ozempic name is intended to help patients and health care professionals more easily recognize the available treatment options for type 2 diabetes Semaglutide tablets have been available under the brand name Rybelsus Ruh BELL sis for diabetes since 2019 but with different dosing. The pill is also approved to reduce the risk of certain cardiovascular conditions in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for these events. The FDA had approved the new doses based on a bioequivalence study and the clinical trial data for Rybelsus, Novo said. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/novo-launch-ozempic-pill-diabetes-second-quarter-this-year-2026-02-04/ XX https://www.contemporarypediatrics.com/view/early-screening-for-type-1-diabetes-found-effective-in-children XX Possible new way to identify and track the progress of type 1 diabetes before clinical onset. A recent study published in Science Advances described the application of subcutaneous microporous scaffolds. These are inserted and have been shown to  identify changes in cancer, multiple sclerosis, and T1D by capturing changes of immune cells over the course of a disease. This is a proof of concept study in mice.. so very early days. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260204/Implantable-immune-scaffold-predicts-type-1-diabetes-weeks-before-symptoms.aspx XX A large global genetics study shows that many key drivers of Type 2 diabetes operate outside the bloodstream. In a major international project led in part by the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Helmholtz Munich in Germany, researchers linked hundreds of genes and proteins to the disease. The work, published in Nature Metabolism, points to a key challenge in diabetes research: the biology behind rising blood sugar does not play out the same way in every part of the body. It also shows why including people from many backgrounds matters, since genetic clues that stand out in one population may be faint or invisible in another. Huge study, 2.5 million people worldwide comparing patterns across seven tissues tied to diabetes and four global ancestry groups, then asked a simple question: what do you miss if you only measure blood? Across the seven tissues, the researchers found causal evidence pointing to 676 genes. Yet overlap with blood was limited: only 18% of genes with a causal effect in a primary diabetes tissue, such as the pancreas, showed a matching signal in blood. At the same time, 85% of genetic effects observed in diabetes-relevant tissues were completely absent from blood-based analyses. The findings lay out a roadmap for future research aimed at understanding the biological pathways underlying Type 2 diabetes and developing more effective treatments. https://scitechdaily.com/massive-global-study-rewrites-the-biology-of-type-2-diabetes/ XX Express Scripts settled the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's claims its insulin pricing practices violated antitrust and consumer protection laws, and agreed to changes aimed at lowering costs for patients, insurers and small pharmacies The settlement, first reported by Reuters, fits with that goal, and allows the FTC to pare down a case brought by the former Biden administration against Cigna's Express Scripts, UnitedHealth Group Inc's (UNH.N), Optum unit and CVS Health Corp's (CVS.N), CVS Caremark. The case against Optum and Caremark is ongoing. Pharmacy benefit managers, which set how drugs are covered by health insurance, have faced a decade of scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers over pricing practices. While the industry has already made reforms, the settlement gives the FTC power to enforce broader changes at Express Scripts. The 10-year agreement restricts Express Scripts' ability to engage in practices critics say contribute to high costs, like pocketing rebate payments from drugmakers based on the list price of drugs. The FTC estimates the agreement could save patients as much as $7 billion over a decade. https://www.reuters.com/world/cigna-settles-ftc-insulin-case-commits-overhauling-drug-pricing-2026-02-04/ XX Audio? Congress has passed bipartisan legislation to extend and strengthen the Special Diabetes Program (SDP), a cornerstone of Federal investment in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. The President signed the legislation and it is now law. Extends the SDP through December 31, 2026, and increases funding from $160 million to $200 million annually. Strengthens overall funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by $415 million. Increases diabetes research funding at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) by $10 million. Created by Congress and administered by the NIH, the SDP has contributed nearly $3.6 billion to T1D research and has played a role in nearly every major breakthrough in the field. A recent study conducted by Avalere Health shows that of the nearly 3.6 billion invested into the SDP by Congress since the establishment of the program, the Federal Government has realized $50 billion in healthcare savings through improved health outcomes from the use of SDP driven therapies and devices https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/congress-passes-bipartisan-extension-of-the-special-diabetes-program-securing-critical-t1d-research-funding/ XX Dexcom is rolling out what they're calling AI-enabled enhancements to Stelo, further transforming how users track and understand their glucose health. Expanded Smart Food Logging including a comprehensive nutrition database of more than 1M meals that provides a breakdown of calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, dietary fibers, and more. More ways to meal track including text search, barcode scanning or taking a photo of the meal, creating a seamless and intuitive meal tracking solution. A redesigned Daily Insights feature which will introduce a new interface with more personalized recommendations. The newest features will launch nationwide in the coming weeks.  XX Beta Bionics has received a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration following an inspection last year, the company disclosed on Friday. The diabetes technology company said in a securities filing that the warning letter concerns non-conformities with the company's quality management system, medical device reporting, and correction and removals. The warning letter has not yet been posted by the FDA.   The company said in the filing that it has already taken actions to improve the processes described in the warning letter, and it is working on a written response to the FDA.   The firm does not expect the warning letter to affect the planned launch of a new insulin patch pump by the end of 2027. Beta Bionics unveiled a prototype of the device, called Mint, last year at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions. The company also does not expect the warning letter to affect its financial results. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-receives-fda-warning-letter/811140/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Issue%3A+2026-02-04+MedTech+Dive+%5Bissue%3A81423%5D&utm_term=MedTech+Dive&fbclid=IwY2xjawPwhDZleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFaUUcyYmNQWldjZ2xudElic3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHouF8M3IstTyslPRgeHWUWVVdOAGOtzPWt_yNFcj9eYruqSPz3e86Iwcbpt8_aem_7q4D97vJVjHKfEwvoyUpgw XX Sequel Med Tech is reviewing co-founder Dean Kamen's ties to Jeffrey Epstein after recently released documents revealed new details about the longstanding relationship between the two men. The documents show that Kamen visited Epstein's island, and remained in contact with him for years after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes involving minors. Kamen has not been accused of any wrongdoing. In a statement, Sequel Med Tech said the Manchester-based company is aware of the documents pertaining to Kamen and – quote - "Sequel's Board of Directors has unanimously decided to engage an external law firm to review these disclosures and provide recommendations aligned with our mission to serve people living with diabetes," Kamen has not issued a statement regarding his reported connection to Epstein.   https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/04/metro/nh-dean-kamen-jeffrey-epstein-review/ https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/04/metro/nh-dean-kamen-jeffrey-epstein-review/ https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/nh-inventor-placed-on-leave-after-epstein-messages-surface-report-says/3888569/ XX Abbot reports 860 serious injuries linked to the recall of some of its glucose monitoring sensors. We told you about this recall late last year, these numbers are an FDA update.     Abbott said the sensors can provide incorrect glucose readings over extended periods, which could lead to users making dangerous treatment decisions, including eating excessive carbohydrates along with skipping or delaying insulin doses, potentially leading to serious health risks. The company said it has identified and resolved the cause of the issue, which relates to one production line among several that make Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus sensors.   https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/abbott-recalls-glucose-sensors-after-seven-deaths-linked-faulty-readings-2026-02-04/ XX Updates from Medtronic & Senseonics – and a first from Nick Jonas.. right after this..   I'm excited to share that the FDA has cleared the MiniMed 780G system with the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott, for people with type 2 diabetes.  Medicare has also now approved coverage for the Instinct sensor for use with the MiniMed 780G system. This clearance and expanded coverage mean more people will have access to pairing our most advanced automated insulin delivery technology with the Instinct sensor, that offers a smaller, 15-day sensor experience.  They're also launching the MiniMed 780G system Pump Evaluation Program.  This program gives individuals living with diabetes the ability to try the full MiniMed 780G system at no cost for 30 days.† This includes the pump, the sensor of their choice, one month of infusion sets and reservoirs, everything but the insulin. They'll contact your doctor for you to get a prescription and get the process rolling. https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/pump-evaluation-program XX Senseonics announced today that its Eversense 365 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) system received CE mark approval – that's European clearance.  This comes on the heels of the launch of Eversense 365 with Sequel Med Tech's twiist pump, marking the first pump integration for the CGM. Senseonics plans to launch Eversense 365 in Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden in the coming months. Meanwhile, Senseonics continues to work toward an FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) submission for its next-generation Gemini transmitter-less CGM by the end of this year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/senseonics-ce-mark-eversense-365-cgm/ XX A huge shout out to Dr. Emily Blum, who just accomplished riding 100 miles in Antarctica for Breakthrough T1D! Despite having no direct connection to Type 1 Diabetes, Emily has been riding and fundraising for BreakthroughT1D for 10 years now. She is an integral part of the Georgia Ride team, training and riding many miles, and most importantly has raised tens of thousands of dollars to support the cause of ridding the world of T1D. She is surgeon and deeply involved with medical innovation, with an incredibly busy schedule, but jumped at the chance to take on the challenge of riding a century on every continent. Having already completed North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and now Antarctica, only Africa and South America remain. Emily rides on and continues to be an inspiration to everyone who meets her. XX   https://diabetes-connections.com/t1d-connection-and-people-magazine-elise-zach-share-their-story/ XX Nick Jonas's becomes the first artist ever to wear a CGM on an album cover - new upcoming solo album Sunday Best, releasing Feb. 6.  The release says: This marks a powerful step forward in normalizing diabetes and raising awareness for the condition on a global scale. This moment adds to the growing visibility of diabetes in pop culture, alongside milestones like a Type 1 diabetes Barbie and Pixar characters wearing diabetes technology.

The boys are back with another chaotic episode that kicks off with golf trash talk (Maxx and David destroyed Joe's team, naturally) before spiraling into the eternal question: can you hit a million YouTube subscribers by just... vlogging? Spoiler alert: probably not, unless you're willing to pivot to political commentary or fake a monster in your kid's closet. They dissect the brutal reality of content creation in 2025—where 50% of your own subscribers don't even watch your videos, vlogs are dying faster than their golf skills, and the podcast might actually be cannibalizing their individual channels. Maxx drops the existential bomb that he's been hanging with this crew longer than any friend group in his life, which is either heartwarming or deeply concerning depending on how you feel about hot tub confessions. Things take a hard left into politics when they tackle the racist White House social media incident (was it an accident or nah?), the Epstein files that keep getting darker (Bill Gates, STDs, and Bitcoin conspiracies, oh my!), and whether Trump is just using memes to distract from actual crimes. Joe becomes the reluctant fact-checker while everyone else processes the absolute insanity of our current timeline. They also somehow land on Candace Owens, the Erica Kirk drama, and why Utah produces both the cleanest cities and the wildest crime documentaries. The consensus? The ruling class does whatever they want, and we're all just here eating popcorn. But wait—there's more! In a twist nobody saw coming, the conversation derails into whether dinosaurs even existed (David and Shawley are skeptics, Joe is losing his mind), if humans would survive another Ice Age with electricity (probably?), and why you can't legally explore Antarctica (what are they hiding down there?!). They debate Mormon magic underwear, whether polar bears have ever eaten penguins (they live on opposite poles, duh), and if you jumped through a hole in the Earth, you'd pop out feet-first going 20,000 mph. Christian admits he ran into a tree while snowboarding at 48 mph trying to beat his top speed, and somehow the rainbow is now a controversial symbol. This podcast is 10% life updates, 40% conspiracy theories, and 50% pure unhinged chaos. Don't be sour.
