If bladder issues in menopause are keeping you from jumping for bone density or for jumping for joy. Or if laughing and sneezing or a need to consider hydration needs against access to a bathroom are real life and every day concerns you… we've got you today.  Bladder issues in menopause don't need to keep you from activities, and they may come with signs and symptoms that aren't the obvious urgency, burning or leakage. The information here about testing beyond traditional options just might make you want to re-listen and share this one.    My Guest: Dr Kelly McCann is a board certified internist and pediatrician specializing in functional, integrative and environmental medicine. She graduated Brown undergrad, Tulane Med School, fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Her medical practice, the Spring Center, is located in Southern California. She hosted virtual summits on MCAS and can be found on many podcasts, summits and @drkellymccann.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:09:09] What is a bacterial biofilm and how does that relate to bladder issues in women? [00:08:21] How do you know if you have a biofilm colonization? [00:13:26] Can you explain the testing technology and how it differs from a urinalysis and urine culture? [00:25:09] Other than UTIs and bladder issues, what might be some other signs that bacterial biofilms might be an issue?  [00:26:55] Are there other things that we should understand about this? (often associated with hypercoagulability which can mean an increased risk for heart disease) [00:30:58] Are there other options before or instead of antibiotics? If you personally got results back suggesting you do have bacteria, would you go the route of herbs or antibiotics?  [00:35:00] Cost of the test? And is it covered?    Bacterial Biofilm as Bladder Issues in Menopause   What is a Bacterial Biofilm? Mucus-like structures where bacteria live, can be found in the mouth, nose, GI tract, vagina, etc. These bacterial “homes” protect microbes from detection in standard lab tests. That means you can have symptoms, but your test results still show “normal.”   What is Next Generation Sequencing? Gives a complete and accurate picture of what's causing  your symptoms, even when your urinalysis and cultures are ‘normal'. Procedure: Scans the DNA of everything present in your sample (e.g. urine). Matches it to a vast DNA library of known organisms. Identifies exactly which microbes are in your bladder, how many, and in what percentages. Recommends treatment options by checking the medical literature for which antibiotics are effective against each bacteria. MicroGenDX does this test.   Signs You Might Have Biofilm Colonization: Chronic bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, burning) without a confirmed UTI Recurrent UTIs that don't resolve or keep returning “Normal” urine tests but ongoing discomfort Other unexplained inflammation-driven symptoms like fatigue, rashes, headaches, joint pain, and more.   Relation to Heart Disease: Bacteria can travel from brushing your teeth and can end up in your coronary arteries and bladder. Biofilms can trigger clot formation for individuals who are genetically predisposed to forming clots or fibrin mesh. Systemic inflammation risk for individuals with low-level bacterial colonization that their body   Connect with Kelly: Website - Dr. Kelly McCann Website - The Spring Center Facebook - Dr. Kelly McCann Instagram - @drkellymccann    Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Solving Sleep Issues with CBD and Other Perimenopause Symptom Solutions Next Episode - What Stem Cell Therapy Taught Me About Recovery, Mindset, and Reinventing Downtime More Like This - True Core Confidence: Revolutionizing Pelvic Floor Fitness After 40   Resources: Short & Easy Exercise videos in this 5 Day Flip Challenge.

I'm excited to welcome my friend and colleague, Dr. Lauren Teso, as a guest to the podcast. Lauren is the Director of Residential Life at Northern Illinois University. A little over a year ago her life was turned upside down when she was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her now ex-husband. He was arrested and due to it making media attention it was hard to hide from friends and colleagues. While adding the new identity of domestic violence survivor in such a public platform Lauren never imagined what it would look like to lose one of her most salient identities, that as a stepmom so privately. Join me this week as I talk with Lauren about her experiences of changing identities in a public and private way.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? Angela Williams Gorrell joins Mark Labberton to discuss her latest book, Braving Difficult Decisions. With poignant storytelling and theological depth, Gorrell shares how this book was born out of personal crucibles and a yearning to make sense of liminal, paralyzing spaces we all encounter—individually and communally. Together they explore how discernment is not just about decision-making but also about cultivating a life of wisdom, attentiveness, and spiritual depth. Rooted in Christian tradition yet capacious across communities and contexts, Gorrell invites listeners to slow down, ask deeper questions, and consider the spiritual, emotional, and communal terrain that shapes every meaningful decision. Episode Highlights “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “This journey is about an inward journey that says, how do I look at the state of my own soul?” “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good.” “What if the best idea isn't the good idea? And what if the data can't tell us that?” “Lady Wisdom invites us to dine—to sit at a table with God and others, and not rush the meal.” Helpful Links and Resources Braving Difficult Decisions, by Angela Williams Gorrell The Gravity of Joy, by Angela Williams Gorrell Life Worth Living course at Yale www.angelagorrell.com @angelagorrell on Instagram Show Notes The “liminal space” of facing a difficult decision, arriving at a crossroads Defining discernment as “a practice, not a single moment of choice” The book stems from her decision to leave a tenured-track faculty position, and a painful personal choice about marriage Perpetua and Felicity—early Christian martyrs Individual discernment and soul work Life Worth Living at Yale “Can I be suffering and my life still be good?” The deeply heartbreaking experience of grappling with the question of divorce “I really struggled to find a book that was like, you can be deeply Christian, deeply spiritual, and make this very difficult choice.” “You have to put them in your own heart and soul. You have to grapple with these ideas, and then you write them.” Should we avoid difficult decisions? Discerning, then acting “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “I wanted to write a book that spoke to that liminal space where we feel paralyzed.” “Good decisions don't always feel good—they might still break your heart” Discusses difference between chronic pain and acute pain in decision-making Discernment helps identify not just what is “right,” but what leads toward peace Michaela O'Donnell and chronic pain Discernment is about “looking at the state of your own soul and becoming a steward of it” “This story that God is nurturing in the world—that story doesn't hinge on like this decision in your life.” Self-examination, and feeling alone in the decision Community-based decision-making “There are all these false binaries.” “What baggage do you have from the past? And how do you make sure that you're not seeing the present moment through the past?” Being as gracious as possible “ What is a way that we can create space to really hear from God?—to hear from each other, and to move forward in a way that we're doing change together and not to each other.” “They need to figure out something together that matters deeply.” The book offers a pathway for congregations and organizations discerning together “How do we do change with people?” Encourages communities to take time, name past wounds, and define who makes decisions Identifies the importance of setting clear expectations, timelines, and spiritual framing “Listening to everyone takes time, but it leads to deeper collective ownership.” Invites communities to ask: What values do we want to embody in this moment? “Sometimes the most valuable part of the process is the slowness.” Wisdom, complexity, and culture Decision-making in our polarized society must account for nuance, empathy, and complexity “What if the data tells us one thing, but the Spirit tells us something else?” Resist “data-driven” decisions as totalizing; discernment includes emotion, history, and spirituality. “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good, you know? Sometimes a life worth living is not about pursuing happiness.” “Lady Wisdom invites us to come and to dine at her house and to sit at a table together.” Names systemic fatigue: “Organizations optimize while their people starve.” Decision-making is affected by race, gender, trauma, context—“there is no one-size-fits-all path” Discernment as a practice, not a moment Braving Difficult Decisions includes exercises and frameworks, such as the “iceberg model” “Most big questions are like an iceberg. There's all this ice beneath the surface that you don't see. That's really the stuff that people are grappling with.” Encourages ongoing wisdom practices: surrender, self-reflection, value-alignment The book is not just a guide for one hard moment, but a long-term companion Ideal for pastors, therapists, educators, spiritual directors, and leaders About Angela Williams Gorrell Rev.

In a world where we are living longer but not always healthier, scientists are searching for ways to add life to our years, not just years to our lives. A recent study published in Aging (Aging-US), Volume 17, Issue 4, led by researchers at the National University of Natural Medicine, suggests that certain common foods, already known for their health benefits, might also help slow or even reverse epigenetic or biological aging. These foods, rich in specific plant compounds, appear to influence our DNA in ways that may slow down the body's epigenetic clock.

Clare manager Peter Keane claims his side's slow start was the reason behind their defeat in Round 1 of the All Ireland Senior Football Championship group stage. The Banner have still yet to break their duck in the reformed format, with Down leaving Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg with a 3-27 to 1-16 win yesterday. The result puts Clare on the back foot as they look to progress from the group ahead of a difficult trip to Clones to face Monaghan for their round 2 clash. Keane says his side never got up to the pitch of the game against their northern opponents.

Amid a governmentwide effort to bring federal employees back to the office, a small but powerful biometrics office based in the Department of Homeland Security is now so packed that employees were briefly asked to bring their own chairs to work. An email viewed by FedScoop shows that employees of the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) were at one point guided to bring their own chairs to work. That advice was quickly rescinded, with the email saying that despite the initial guidance, staff should not bring their own chairs to the office while thanking employees for their patience as they worked through logistical challenges. OBIM, which was established more than a decade ago to manage the biometric information used to make border security decisions, is based at the Transportation Security Administration's offices. Another email, also viewed by FedScoop, highlights the severe space constraints at OBIM. Employees were sent lists of conference rooms that could be used for seating options for work. The email said: “With these space limitations, we encourage staff to please be accommodating and share offices and workspaces to the extent it is possible. Please connect directly with your supervisor and division leadership to discuss creative seating solutions. Please remember that we are all in this together and are working to find viable solutions. Thank you again for your patience as we work through these logistical challenges.” Because there isn't enough office or cubicle space, it's possible that staffers could unintentionally expose information to those that don't need to know it, given their proximity to other people, one former OBIM employee said. As DOGE continues its decimation of the federal workforce, grinds various operations to a halt and touts dubious cost-savings claims, the congressional agency with deep experience rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in government released a litany of recommendations Tuesday that it says could save the public tens of billions of dollars. The Government Accountability Office's 15th annual report on federal programs that have “fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative goals or actions” identified 148 cost-cutting measures across 43 topic areas, delivering a playbook to Congress and federal agencies aimed at lowering costs, improving programs and increasing revenues. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro said in a press release that the GAO's updated report details “new and meaningful opportunities to save federal funds across a wide range of programs.” “By addressing this year's updated list, as well as open recommendations to both agencies and Congress from GAO's past work, the federal government could potentially save an additional” $100 billion, he added.

In this episode Dr. Raffaele Teperino shares insights from his ongoing research focused on developmental programming, particularly how paternal health before conception influences not only offspring health but also maternal health outcomes. As we trace his academic journey from studying biotechnology and pharmacology to leading his own lab, Dr. Teperino reflects on his early fascination with medicine, the pivotal experiences that shaped his career, and the integration of epigenetics into understanding metabolic diseases. We discuss the nuances of epigenetics—going beyond simple chromatin biology to examine its wider implications on phenotypic variation. Dr. Teperino emphasizes his approach of modeling relevant physiological phenomena in the lab to better understand the underlying mechanisms driving conditions like obesity and metabolic disruption. A particular focus is placed on his experiences during his postdoctoral years, where he investigated the developmental pathways of hedgehog signaling and its metabolic implications in adipogenesis. Our talk shifts towards the practical implications of his research, highlighting recent investigations into how circadian rhythms and paternal lifestyles influence offspring health. Dr. Teperino reveals his findings on how disturbances in circadian rhythms can lead to intergenerational health issues, showcasing the surprising effects observed in offspring of fathers experiencing circadian misalignment. We delve into the significance of seminal fluid as a potential medium for intergenerational transfer of stress responses, examining the role of stress hormones and their impacts on fetal development. As we explore a fascinating recent study highlighting the impact of paternal diets on future generations, Dr. Teperino underscores the importance of understanding the shorter exposure periods sufficient to trigger these health changes. He presents data that links paternal obesity and preconception health to an increased risk of obesity and insulin resistance in children, challenging traditional narratives around maternal responsibility for offspring health.   References Darr J, Tomar A, Lassi M, Gerlini R, Berti L, Hering A, Scheid F, Hrabě de Angelis M, Witting M, Teperino R. iTAG-RNA Isolates Cell-Specific Transcriptional Responses to Environmental Stimuli and Identifies an RNA-Based Endocrine Axis.

This Podcast Is Episode 623, And It's About The Art Of Giving And Receiving Constructive Criticism In Construction Think about the last time you gave or received feedback. Did it inspire growth and improvement or leave someone feeling deflated? When done right, constructive feedback is a powerful tool for driving success. But it's a fine line – getting it wrong can do more harm than good.   For business owners, managers, and team leaders, effectively giving and receiving constructive feedback isn't just a nice skill; it's a necessity. Feedback shapes stronger teams, builds trust, and moves companies forward.    In the construction industry, where projects are often complex and involve numerous stakeholders, giving and receiving constructive criticism is essential for success. Feedback can significantly impact safety, quality, and project timelines, making it crucial to foster a culture where constructive feedback is the norm rather than the exception.   Understanding Constructive Criticism Constructive criticism in construction focuses on performance, processes, and safety rather than personal attributes. It aims to highlight areas for improvement while providing actionable suggestions to enhance skills and procedures. This feedback cultivates a transparent work environment where team members feel empowered to address challenges without fear of personal confrontation. Constructive Feedback vs. Destructive Criticism Not all feedback is created equal. Constructive feedback is designed to promote growth. It's specific, actionable, and focuses on behavior or outcomes, not personal traits. Destructive criticism, on the other hand, often comes off as judgmental and unhelpful, targeting the person rather than the problem. Consider these examples: Constructive Criticism: I noticed a few inconsistencies in the framing of the last project. Let's review the measurements to improve them for the next build and ensure we're aligned. I believe this will help enhance the overall quality of the work and avoid any potential issues during inspections. Destructive Criticism: The framing on that last job was terrible. You need to get it right, or this line of work isn't for you. In the first example, the feedback focuses on improving the work and offers support, while the second example is judgmental and demoralizing, focusing solely on the individual's shortcomings. Constructive feedback opens the door to improvement, while destructive criticism shuts down. By aligning feedback with a growth mindset, businesses can foster trust, encourage professional development, and build an environment where individuals and teams thrive. Why Constructive Feedback Matters Great feedback isn't just about pointing out mistakes – it's a catalyst for growth. Here's how constructive feedback benefits construction businesses: Improves employee performance: Identifies strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Enhances team dynamics: Encourages open communication and collaboration. Builds trust and engagement: Employees feel valued when their growth is a priority. Fosters continuous learning: Positioned as a tool for development, feedback encourages individuals to keep improving. Drives business success: Growth at the individual level contributes directly to company goals. Employees need to know their work matters, and constructive feedback signals that their success is tied to the business. How to give constructive feedback effectively: Providing great feedback takes preparation, empathy, and a strategic approach. Here's a breakdown of how to deliver it successfully: 1. Choose the right time and place Deliver feedback privately where the person feels comfortable and safe to discuss openly. Avoid giving feedback in the heat of the moment; instead, allow emotions to settle so the conversation remains productive. 2. Be specific and focused Vague feedback like "You need to do better" isn't helpful. Instead, reference specific situations and actions. For example, say, "During yesterday's client call, I noticed some confusion about the project timeline. Preparing a detailed overview beforehand might help in future calls." 3. Use "I" statements Frame feedback with "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory. For example: Instead of "You're always interrupting me," say, "I felt interrupted during our meeting, and it made it difficult for me to express my points." 4. Balance positives and negatives Use the feedback sandwich technique: Start with a positive comment. Address the area for improvement with actionable suggestions. End with encouragement. For example Positive Comment: The team did an excellent job with the safety protocols on the last project. Everyone was vigilant about wearing helmets and harnesses, which helped create a safe work environment. Area for Improvement: However, I noticed a few delays in material deliveries that could have been better managed. For future projects, let's improve our communication with suppliers to make sure everything gets on time, as this will help keep us on schedule. Encouragement: Overall, I'm really impressed with everyone's dedication. If we can tighten up the logistics of material deliveries, we'll see even greater success on our projects. Keep up the great work! This structure helps maintain morale while addressing areas for improvement, fostering a constructive atmosphere for the team. 5. Offer solutions and support Feedback shouldn't just point out issues – it needs to provide solutions. For instance, suggest additional training, offer to share the workload, or brainstorm ideas together. This shows a commitment to the person's growth. 6. Follow up Check in after the feedback conversation to see how the individual applies the advice. This shows that your feedback wasn't a one-off critique but part of an ongoing growth process. Receiving constructive feedback positively: Feedback is a two-way street. Learning to receive it with an open mind is just as crucial. Here's how to ensure you're extracting the most value from feedback: 1. Listen actively When receiving feedback, focus on understanding rather than responding. Avoid interrupting or dismissing the feedback outright. Instead, paraphrase to confirm understanding, e.g., "I'm hearing that I should work on communicating deadlines more thoroughly. Is that correct?" 2. Avoid defensiveness It can be tempting to explain away criticism, but doing so may make you seem resistant to growth. Accept feedback with humility and thank the individual for pointing out opportunities for improvement. 3. Reflect on the information Take time to process the feedback before acting on it. Ask yourself: What specific actions can I take to improve? Is there a pattern in the feedback I've received? How can I use this information to grow? 4. View feedback as an opportunity Having a growth mindset is key. Look at feedback not as criticism but as an investment in your potential. 5. Implement changes Feedback without action benefits no one. Develop a clear plan to address areas of improvement and track your progress. Building A Feedback-Positive Environment To truly unlock the power of feedback, create a culture where feedback is valued, sought after, and given freely. Here's how: To make feedback a regular part of your business culture, hold routine one-on-ones, team debriefs, or anonymous surveys. Celebrate employees who both give and act on constructive feedback. This reinforces its value and shows that it's a tool for growth, not punishment. When leaders seek and act on feedback, it sets the tone for the entire business. An open and transparent leadership style fosters a safe environment for feedback. Equip managers and team members with the skills to give and receive feedback effectively. Training in conflict resolution, active listening, and emotional intelligence can be game-changing. Final thoughts By prioritizing constructive criticism, the construction industry can improve individual performances and enhance overall project outcomes, ensuring that teams work more effectively together and that projects are completed safely and on time. Constructive feedback is more than a tool – it's a mindset. It encourages growth, builds trust, and empowers you to achieve your full potential. Whether you're delivering it to your team or receiving it from others, the key lies in empathy, clarity, and a focus on solutions. Here's your actionable takeaway: Start small. Use the strategies in this blog to have one meaningful feedback conversation this week. Observe the impact, refine your approach, and make feedback a regular part of your leadership toolkit. The benefits will cascade beyond your expectations – for your people and construction business.

CTO Series: The Anti-Scaling Paradox: Why and When a CTO Should Refuse to Grow His Team with Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive into a fascinating conversation with Markus Hjort, Co-founder and CTO of Bitmagic. With over 20 years of software development expertise, Markus shares invaluable insights on tech leadership, team scaling, and how AI is transforming the landscape of software development. From pivotal career moments to practical advice on aligning tech strategy with business objectives, this episode offers wisdom for technology leaders and developers alike. Defining Moments in Tech Leadership "As a leader, for me, it is important that we have a positive attitude." Markus reflects on two pivotal experiences that shaped his leadership philosophy. Early in his career, he received feedback about his positive approach to challenging tasks, which reinforced his belief in maintaining an optimistic outlook when facing difficulties. This approach has allowed him to inspire team members during tough situations. The second defining moment relates to estimation skills. After participating in a rescue mission for a delayed project, Markus learned the importance of making realistic ballpark estimates rather than succumbing to unrealistic deadlines. His initial two-year estimate for a project was met with resistance from a client who wanted it done in two months, but the project ultimately took four years to complete - twice his original estimate. Leads by example with a positive attitude toward challenges Values the skill of making quick but realistic ballpark estimates Recommends "Programming Pearls" for developers to improve estimation skills Emphasizes that product developers should create different options to reach goals In this segment, Markus refers to the book Programming Pearls. Aligning Tech Strategy with Business Objectives "Nothing should come for me as a surprise." When it comes to ensuring tech strategy supports business goals, Markus emphasizes the importance of continuous communication with key stakeholders. Through regular informal discussions, he stays aware of emerging ideas and maintains strong relationships with decision-makers. This approach helps him anticipate future feature requirements and translate technical strategy into business objectives. The foundation of this alignment is built on trust and transparency. Maintains constant discussions with critical stakeholders Develops awareness of emerging ideas through informal conversations Identifies and builds relationships with decision-makers Translates technical considerations into business language Fostering Collaboration Between Tech and Business Units "In the end we create the shared understanding and the habit of working together which creates better alignment and trust." While structured meetings are important, Markus believes that true collaboration happens when people work together across departmental boundaries. In previous roles, he implemented small, cross-functional teams that included business representatives during feature development. At Bitmagic, they conduct regular gameplay test sessions that anyone in the company can join, fostering unpredictable connections and conversations. These informal interactions are especially valuable in a remote-only company. Creates small teams with business representation for feature development Implements regular demo sessions open to everyone in the company Encourages cross-departmental work to build shared understanding Emphasizes the importance of informal discussions in remote environments Scaling Engineering Teams Strategically "You have to be careful when to scale, and when not to scale." Markus advocates for a measured approach to team growth during scaling phases. He believes in small teams of talented individuals and prefers to grow at a deliberate pace rather than rushing to add new members. Sometimes, he's even paused hiring to focus on meeting milestones with existing resources. When rapid scaling is necessary, Markus recommends considering contractors to reduce risk and gain specialized expertise quickly, particularly in fields like gaming that require deep specialization. Believes in small teams of talented individuals Grows team size at a deliberate pace Sometimes pauses hiring to focus on delivery with existing team Strategically uses both employees and contractors based on circumstances Navigating Financial Challenges in Startups "From the tech view it was clear this was not a good idea, but from the business perspective, it was the right decision to make." One of the toughest challenges Markus faced involved making difficult decisions during financial constraints. In a previous startup, when resources were tight, he had to split his team between the main product and a "side project" that had been sold to generate revenue. Though technically suboptimal, this business-driven decision was necessary for survival. This experience highlights the complex balancing act CTOs often face between technical ideals and business realities. The Impact of AI on Software Development "It has changed my way of thinking of my work as a programmer." Having worked on AI-powered game development for over two years, Markus has witnessed the rapid evolution of AI technologies. This experience has influenced his approach to team expansion, as he considers how AI might augment human capabilities. Personally, he now uses code assistants regularly and wouldn't return to traditional programming methods. AI has transformed his workflow as a programmer and expanded his capabilities, particularly as a full-stack engineer. Measuring Engineering Success Beyond Metrics "In early startup stages, one of the critical metrics is 'the working software.'" Rather than relying heavily on rigid metrics, Markus focuses on practical indicators of success for engineering teams. In early-stage startups, he prioritizes the frequency of releasing working software to end users. Additionally, he monitors team energy and morale, looking for signals in commit messages and code review comments that might indicate the team's well-being. As teams grow, he sees value in using tools to help track these emotional indicators systematically. Focuses on frequency of releasing working software Monitors team energy and morale as key indicators Looks for signals in commit messages and code reviews Considers team well-being as important as technical output Recommended Reading "Press 'pause' when you feel you are in a crisis situation." Markus credits "Rapid Development" by Steve McConnell as a significant influence on his approach to software development, particularly before Agile methodologies became mainstream. One lasting lesson from the book is avoiding the anti-pattern of "abandoning all planning under pressure." Instead, Markus recommends pausing when facing a crisis to reassess and plan effectively, rather than rushing into reactive solutions.
