Every off-grid project eventually humbles you.This week was our turn.The cabin floor is finally glued down... mostly. One overlooked detail turned into our first real construction mistake, and I walk through exactly what happened, what we learned, and how we're planning to fix it.Then we shift into one of the biggest Bitcoin stories of the week: the Coldcard security issue. If you self-custody Bitcoin—or plan to someday—there are some important lessons here that go well beyond one hardware wallet.We also spend some time asking why so many of the people making major political decisions appear increasingly unable to do the job, and whether our political system has any incentive to replace them before nature does.Along the way:Solar field progressBiochar updateFlooring lessonsBitcoin Guessing GameHardware wallet securityOff-grid planningWeekly cabin progressSupport The LOTS Project Fold Card https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETX • Blockstream Hardware Wallets https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject • LogOX Forestry Tools https://tidd.ly/4y07Qhb • Food Forest Farms Coffee https://foodforrestfarms.com • ComfreyRoots.com https://comfreyroots.com • Echo Radios https://echoradios.com?bg_ref=Sv7Jdlw250 Save $40 with code: ECHOBRIAN407720 • Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelotsproject Join the Telegram community: https://t.me/LOTSChatSome products discussed during this episode use affiliate links.

What if you built your entire cash based physical therapy practice without a single paid ad — and nearly seven years later, you're still growing?In this episode of the DPT to CEO Therapy Entrepreneurs interview series, I sit down with Dr. Sameep Contractor, founder of Karma Rehab, a mobile concierge physical therapy and wellness service serving older adults throughout the Houston area. Sameep works with seniors ages 55 and up — his oldest current client is 103 — helping them improve strength, balance, walking ability, and overall confidence so they can stay active, safe, and independent in their own homes.Sameep started Karma Rehab in 2019, right before COVID hit, while still doing home health on the side. For years he stayed in the shallow end, unsure if he could fully let go of the steady income. Once he went all in, hired his first two employees with the help of DPT to CEO, and built real systems around his practice, everything changed.In this conversation we get into how he built a thriving niche practice entirely through word of mouth and community talks, why he averages two in-person presentations a month at senior centers and assisted living facilities, what the hiring process actually looked like and why the second hire was so much easier than the first, how he thinks about leadership versus management and why making it a "we" instead of a "me vs you" dynamic changes everything, and the one quote that captures his whole philosophy on getting started: "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do."If you've been sitting on the fence about starting your own practice, or you're wondering whether a niche mobile practice serving a specific population is actually viable, this conversation will give you the answer.Connect with Dr. Sameep Contractor: Website Just getting started?

Gaius and Germanicus: The discussion focuses on the "shrinking presidency" of Mr. Trump in 2026, drawing parallels to the diminished 19th-century stature of Benjamin Harrison. The hosts argue that geriatric leadership and the "unbelievable" stress of failing wars make 8-year terms unsustainable, suggesting a shift to single six-year terms. Germanicus proposes a radical "rosy scenario": the US should "slough off" dependent possessions like Europe—which he views as a drain—to focus on viable partners like Japan and Korea. This mirrors the Western Roman Empire's collapse, which allowed the Greek-speaking Eastern Empire (Constantinople) to thrive for another millennium. They warn that the US is already in an active civil war that will intensify due to "lazy left" policies like court-packing. They conclude by searching for a "smiling Greek" source of survival amidst American upheaval. (2)1892

In today's episode, Annoushka discusses how in the world of geriatric rehabilitation, tactile cueing has long been a staple for therapists aiming to ensure the safety of their patients. But have you ever stopped to consider: who is truly learning during these interactions? When we place our hands on patients to guide them, we often believe we are helping. However, in this episode, we will explore why stepping back and using hands-off cues can be one of the most effective strategies for promoting independence and motor learning in older adults while also addressing the instances where it may be necessary to be hands on.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, welcome back Doctor Courtney Conley to discuss her new book, Walk. Together, they explore why walking is considered the "sixth vital sign" and how gait speed can predict health issues like cognitive decline. Doctor Courtney breaks down the importance of power in walking, how to improve gait speed for greater efficiency, and why the 10,000-steps goal isn't scientifically based. She also shares practical advice on footwear choices and encourages listeners to start simply — by taking their shoes off at home to reconnect with their feet and build a foundation for better gait speed and movement.

This week on ‘Geriatric' Mamas, Sonia and Jessica are back with one of those conversations that starts with a porta potty disaster and somehow ends with true crime, unsolicited Instagram DMs, beach bacteria, questionable daycare decisions, and the universal realization that adulthood is honestly just one long series of plot twists. Sonia shares the story of accidentally falling out of a porta potty at a church moms' meetup (yes, really), while Jessica dives into the bizarre reality of reopening her Instagram after divorce and discovering that apparently unsolicited anatomy photos are still considered a conversation starter. The moms also unpack the latest updates in the shocking Taylor Parker case, discuss the controversy surrounding melatonin patches reportedly being used in daycare settings without parental consent, debate whether Maine's beaches are secretly plotting against summer, and swap stories about parenting toddlers, family vacations, playground fails, and the moments that make you wonder how any of us are successfully keeping tiny humans alive.

From brain-sucking horror to heartbreaking empathy, for this fxpodcast we go inside the creature work of The Boroughs with VFX Supervisor Tara DiMarco and ILM's Steve Ellis.

In this episode of EVJ Snippets, we summarise the latest research published in our Equine Veterinary Journal through a quick overview of the paper: Cheek tooth extraction in geriatric versus non-geriatric horses. 

This is my personal favorite topic, but probably your least favorite: strength training.  Before you run away, hear me out! Because whether you’re bed-bound, housebound, or just convinced your body can’t handle it right now, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down exactly WHY resistance and strength training isn’t just helpful for vestibular disorders—it’s essential.  You Have to Move Your Body to Manage Your Dizziness From the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle to blood sugar regulation to better sleep to reduced inflammation, strength training touches virtually every struggle vestibular warriors face. I’m not letting anyone off the hook, but I am meeting you exactly where you are. Starting with 3 minutes? That counts.  Walking to the mailbox and back? That counts too.  Because the goal here is progress, not perfection. And you know I have the science to back every single word of it! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why strength training is non-negotiable for vestibular disorder management How exercise helps break the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle “In the moment” vs. “hangover” dizziness and how to adjust your approach Why EDS, HSD, or MCAS makes building muscle even more critical The truth about the fear of getting “bulky” How to start exercising when you’re bedbound or couch-bound What physical activity guidelines actually say, and where most people fall short How functional movements like the deadlift directly support vestibular patients How Vestibular Group Fit makes strength and resistance training accessible Whether you start with 3 minutes or 30, the most important thing is that you start. Because your vestibular system, your mood, your balance, and your future self are all counting on it.

Join Kay Mayordomo, PT, DPT as she reviews a 2026 systematic review on the association between BMI and osteoporosis risk. Did you know your BMI could be misleading when it comes to osteoporosis risk? Recent research reveals an association between body mass index (BMI) and osteoporosis. Lower BMIs are often associated with higher osteoporosis risk, especially in women. As BMI increases, the risk generally decreases, suggesting that more body mass can help maintain bone density. But...there's always a but: BMI doesn't tell the whole story. It's just a number, a ratio of height to weight. It doesn't reflect muscle mass, fat distribution, or overall health. Two people can have the same BMI, but vastly different bone health based on their lifestyle and habits. As clinicians, we need to look beyond BMI. Focus on strength training, nutrition, and healthy habits. Help patients maintain their muscle mass and overall well-being. So while BMI can indicate osteoporosis risk, remember it's just one piece of the puzzle. Let's prioritize looking at the whole picture. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41862888/ Want to stay up to date in all things Geriatrics in less than 3 minutes every other week?

Why do we wait for a catastrophic injury or dramatic decline before addressing physical health? In this episode of the MMOA podcast, Dustin Jones sits down with Dr. Mike Puthoff and Dr. Victoria Hamby, leaders of the APTA's Academy of Geriatric Task Force, to explore the transformative potential of the Annual Mobility Assessment. As clinicians, we often see patients in the later stages of decline when it's much harder to reverse damage. This episode highlights how shifting our focus "upstream" can help us identify preclinical mobility limitations—the subtle changes that occur years before a fall or injury—and intervene when it matters most. Key takeaways from this episode include: The Six Pillars of Mobility: A breakdown of the physical performance measures used in the AMA, including usual/fast gait speed, chair stands, and cognitive dual-tasking . The "Report Card" Approach: How using a simple red-yellow-green system makes complex data tangible and empowering for patients . Moving Beyond the HEP: Why moving away from a "dictator" approach toward Brief Action Planning—letting the patient take ownership of their goals—leads to more sustainable behavior change. Practical Implementation: Advice for busy clinicians on how to integrate these assessments into existing workflows, whether through community outreach or as part of a standard plan of care. Stop managing decline and start optimizing capacity. Tune in to learn how to become a movement specialist who identifies problems before they become emergencies.

Think your clinical practice is exempt from geriatrics? Think again. In this episode of the PTonICE Daily Show, Dustin Jones challenges the misconception that geriatric care is limited to specific settings like nursing homes or home health. Whether you specialize in sports, orthopedics, or pediatrics, Dustin argues that every healthcare professional is inherently a "geri-clinician." He outlines three powerful reasons why embracing this identity will not only make you a more effective and fulfilled clinician but also profoundly impact your own life: The Reality of Your Caseload: Regardless of your setting, a vast majority of the patients you treat are either older adults now or are heading there fast . Influencing Future Longevity: Every patient you see, from the 5-year-old child to the 40-year-old athlete, hopes to become an older adult . Your current interventions—and the language you use—set the trajectory for their future health, helping them either thrive or live in fear of decline . "Old People in Training": Embracing this identity isn't just about your patients; it's about you. By understanding the aging process, you can adopt a more realistic and motivating perspective on your own health, time, and mortality. Stop waiting until the later stages of life to understand the principles of healthy aging. Tune in to learn how shifting your mindset can help you become an "old person in training," improve your professional confidence, and ultimately help your patients live more independent, fulfilling lives . ---- Want to stay up to date in all things Geriatrics in less than 3 minutes every other week?

The World Health Organization has flagged loneliness and social isolation as a major public health concern especially for older adults. The organization says about 100 deaths per hour worldwide can be attributed to poorer health outcomes associated with loneliness. In the U.S., the over 65 demographic is growing rapidly. COVID-19 prevention measures and other factors such as financial constraints and the gap in digital access for this age group have exacerbated the issue. We've been exploring isolation and loneliness across other demographics such as young adults and new parents over the last few weeks. During one of those conversations, Jim in Massillon emailed us to say: "Not sure if there will be a second panel... but, hello, the danger point for most people is after the working life, when work-related 'friendships' go away. That is, late 50s to mid-60s and beyond." We heard your thoughts and we appreciate the comment, Jim. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas" we'll talk to representatives from social groups around Northeast Ohio that are working to help older adults build connection and community. Guests:- De'Neitra Brown, iConnect Director, Greater Cleveland Neighborhood Centers Association- Amanda Lathia, M.D., Division Chief, Geriatrics and Palliative Care, UH Cleveland Medical Center- Eleanor Bergholz, Author, "When Knitting Becomes Nurture"- Terry Vaiksnoras, Volunteer, Lake County Phone Pals- Kathey Fury, Participant, Lake County Phone Pals

Ryan Wrecker used this segment to pivot from hard news to a nostalgic reflection on generational divides, defining what it means to grow up on the edge of the digital revolution.Growing Up in a Analog WorldThe "Geriatric Millennial" Identity: Wrecker proudly embraced the term (typically describing those born between 1980 and 1985) as a unique micro-generation that bridges two entirely different eras.The Pre-Internet Childhood: He reminisced about a time when kids spent all day outside, landline phones were the only way to contact friends, and you had to agree on a meeting time and place beforehand without the ability to text a last-minute update.The Digital Transition: The discussion highlighted the unique advantage of this age group: they are old enough to remember a world entirely without computers, yet young enough to have easily adapted to smartphones, social media, and modern tech in early adulthood.

Founder's Story: Shelby Blankenship of Southern Grit PT and Wellness In this episode, Shelby breaks down how she built a thriving PT and wellness practice in Hendersonville, Tennessee, by refusing to settle for the "traditional" burnout-inducing model. We're diving deep into the messy reality of starting a business that actually bridges the gap between rehab and performance. In this episode, we discuss: The Red Tape Reality: Navigating the headaches of Medicare and insurance without losing your mind (or your margin). Beyond the Table: How integrating personal training creates a community-focused business that actually keeps people moving. Marketing That Sticks: How to build a brand that resonates with older adults who are tired of being told to "take it easy." Thriving vs. Surviving: Practical tips for building a practice that serves the clinician as much as the patient. Stop waiting for the system to change and start building the practice your community actually needs.   --- Want to make sure you stay up to date in all things Geriatrics in less than 3 minutes every other week?

Our focus today is on the search for the geriatrician identity, a continuation of the conversation we started with Jerry Gurtwitz on the Future of Geriatrics.  Today's conversation is prompted by multiple articles in JAGS: (1) an article by Jerry Gurwitz with a title the same as this podcast; (2) an article by Helen Fernandez on "Med-Geri", a new combined 4 year internal medicine residency and geriatrics fellowship track; and (3) an article by Mary Tinetti titled, "Mainstream or Extinction: Can Defining Who We Are Save Geriatrics?"  Of note, Mary's article is a follow up to her 2017 article in JAGS in which she wrote: Those outside the field have difficulty understanding what geriatrics is and what geriatricians do. We contribute to this lack of clarity. We are experts in complexity but are often bad at communicating simply. Our well-intentioned efforts to be inclusive and comprehensive lead to the creation of long, complex descriptions of what we do that further compromises understanding while eroding interest in, and support of, our field. Today we tackle this problem, discussing: A "funny if it wasn't so painful" video and JAGS article in which geriatricians from Johns Hopkins roamed the streets of Baltimore asking lay people "What is a geriatrician?"  The responses (something to do with Ben and Jerry's ice cream? Jury-atrician?) will make you laugh and cry at the same time. 4 different types of geriatricians as described by Jerry in his JAGS paper: the complexivist, the healthful longevitist, the syndromist, and the contextualist. As with the 4Ms, Ken couldn't help but add a 5th, the "identityist", arguing that maybe Geriatricians worry too much in public about their identity, and should instead focus in public on what unites them: shared sense of purpose and mission to focus on whole person care and what matters most to older adults. Ken gave a rousing talk on being a Geriatrician at the Society of General Internal Medicine that received a lengthy standing-ovation (and a Cubs Jersey with his name on it).  Innovative new programs such as Med-Geri and GeriPal fellowship as ways to bring more people into the profession. How to balance our effort between recruiting specialist geriatricians to the profession and teaching all clinicians geriatrics principles and skills.   A paper in JAGS by Richard G. Stefanacci and Ankur Patel in JAGS making the argument that a geriatrician "yields per-patient annual net cost savings of approximately $3495 (specialist consultation avoidance +$1500; ED reduction +$45; hospitalization reduction +$1950)..." and "The reason fee-for-service fails geriatricians is not that their skills are wrong for primary care—it is that the payment model is wrong for their skills. Payvider programs operating under capitation invert every structural disadvantage of fee-for-service. Under capitation, there are no RVUs. There is no penalty for spending 40 min with a complex patient. There is no revenue loss when the patient is dual-eligible rather than commercially insured—the capitated payment is the same regardless of original coverage source. And every unnecessary specialist referral, every avoidable hospitalization, every ED visit that could have been managed in-house represents a cost to the organization rather than a revenue stream." Stay until the end when Mary has one of the best answers yet (in over 400 podcasts!) to Eric's "if you had a magic wand" question. Enjoy! -Alex Smith

How does it feel to be called hostile?What about barren? Inhospitable? Geriatric? These are all words women over the age of 35 have heard in doctor's offices for decades to describe their reproductive health as they explore options for childbirth. The terminology has been changing, but for some, not quickly enough.  When the culture is pushing for more humane ways to talk about women's bodies, how long will it take modern medicine to catch up? Brittany talks with Rachel E. Gross, author of Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage to understand what the use of these words reveal about our cultural expectations of pregnant people.Want more on the culture of women's health?
