You may have seen on social media that Amazon recently scrapped dozens of small business e-commerce websites and added people's products to the Amazon Buy for Me platform. This is a new platform that Amazon rolled out and they did this without consent from the brands.  Now, as you can imagine, this has created a lot of outrage from small businesses that sell online and who intentionally chose not to sell on Amazon. To find your products listed on Amazon when you did not choose to do so, that's a lot to swallow, right?  But it also creates a lot of logistical headaches. So as an example, items were listed on Amazon with incorrect photos or product descriptions. Discontinued or no longer in stock items were listed and many brands did not even know that their products had been added to Amazon until they heard about it on social media and searched for their brand.  My guest today is Angie Chua of bobo designs. Angie has been vocal on social media, sharing information and the steps that she's taken to protect her products and brand. This is a developing story, but Angie shares what she's learned, the steps she has taken to remove her products from Amazon and we talk about why this is bad for small businesses.  There's a lot of folks out there that are thinking, isn't this great visibility for small business? And the answer is, no, it's not.  If you are looking for a community of folks who are talking about current events that affect product businesses in real time, come join us in LABS. We have trainings, templates,  coaching calls and all the things, but we also share solutions for real time issues and we also celebrate real time wins.

Why Traditional Healthcare Falls Short—and How The Lanby Is Fixing ItClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Chloe Harrouche - The Lanby - Health Conciergewww.thelanby.comPodcast: Get Well, BetterIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, Brad Williams sits down with Chloe Harrouche, founder of The Lanby, a modern, patient-led concierge healthcare practice redefining what proactive, preventive medicine can look like.Chloe shares her deeply personal journey into healthcare innovation, beginning with her background in bioengineering and healthcare consulting, and shaped profoundly by her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 23 years old. Despite receiving standard-of-care treatment, Chloe was left with little guidance on how to truly optimize her long-term health. That gap—between traditional medicine and personalized, proactive wellness—became the catalyst for founding The Lanby.Throughout the conversation, Brad and Chloe unpack the shortcomings of conventional healthcare and even traditional concierge and Direct Primary Care (DPC) models. Chloe explains how The Lanby goes beyond access to care by offering trusted guidance, ongoing accountability, and true personalization, integrating functional medicine, nutrition, longevity science, and wellness into primary care.Listeners learn how The Lanby's team-based model works, combining physicians trained in prevention and functional medicine, registered dietitians, and dedicated member advocates who coordinate care and ensure patients feel heard and supported. Chloe details how The Lanby emphasizes proactive monitoring, including extensive baseline lab testing (100+ biomarkers), quarterly progress check-ins, and optional advanced diagnostics like genetics, gut microbiome testing, and biological age assessments—without pushing unnecessary add-ons.Brad relates the model to his own experience navigating cash-based healthcare, DPC, and self-directed biohacking, highlighting how overwhelming it can be to interpret data without expert guidance. Chloe explains how The Lanby helps turn complex health data into clear, actionable insights, reducing confusion and burnout for motivated, health-conscious individuals—especially those over 40.The episode also explores how The Lanby works alongside insurance (favoring PPO, EPO, or alternative cost-sharing plans), why HMOs are challenging, and how the model supports both day-to-day health optimization and coordination during acute issues.Finally, Chloe shares what's ahead for The Lanby, including:A nationwide metabolic health program using continuous glucose monitors“Just the Labs” and “Just the Genes” standalone offerings for non-membersPlans to expand into pediatric care with a holistic, family-centered approachChloe also highlights The Lanby's educational ecosystem—community talks, wellness presentations, newsletters, and her podcast Get Well Better—designed to empower patients with knowledge while providing expert context.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with John Grey, a law enforcement K9 handler who's doing the "impossible" - running a program with PUPPIES that are BOTH therapy dogs AND detection dogs (firearms/explosives).The traditional K9 world said this would never work:❌ "Puppies have too high a washout rate"❌ "Therapy dogs are low-drive couch potatoes"❌ "Labs can't detect anything"❌ "You can't do both - pick one"John's program is proving all of that WRONG.What We Cover:Why their puppy washout rate is LOWER than agencies buying adult dogsHow therapy work actually IMPROVES detection capabilityTraining while working (no pulling officers off the road)The massive PR and funding benefits agencies don't expectUsing rituals and signals to switch between therapy and detection modesWhy "crackhead" high-drive dogs are actually HARDER to work withHow obedience training makes detection dogs betterWorking in elementary through high schoolsAdding tracking to the mix (and the lessons learned)Why this ISN'T entrapment (they're NOT drug dogs)Real Results:✅ Lower washout rates than traditional programs✅ Enormous public support and funding✅ Dogs work effectively in both roles✅ Handlers train while maintaining regular SRO duties✅ Kids and community fully invested in the dogsJohn's agency is in Colorado, and they're working with organizations like Colorado Police K9 Association who now offer therapy dog certification. His company is Fundamentals First K9 Training and he's helping other agencies implement similar programs.This episode challenges EVERYTHING traditional K9 programs believe about drive, selection, training timelines, and what's "possible" with working dogs.Whether you're in law enforcement, education, or just love working dogs, this conversation will change how you think about K9 programs.

In this episode, we discuss OpenAI's foray into brain-computer interface technology with Merge Labs. We examine how this initiative could reshape human-AI interaction beyond traditional interfaces.

Labs and Tom recap the Steelers loss to the Texans in the Wild Card Round and get into this week's batch of questions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Donut Labs battery and ask the big question everyone is debating: Is it truly solid-state, or is it overhyped marketing bordering on a scam? We break down what solid-state really means, how it compares to current lithium-ion tech from CATL, BYD, and Tesla, and why battery terminology matters more than ever.We also unpack Ford's announcement that autonomy will arrive with its affordable universal EV platform in 2027, while examining the very real struggles Ford and the broader industry have faced with EV profitability. GM isn't alone in this pain, reporting a $1.7 billion EV loss last quarter and announcing another $6 billion write-off, while Jeep quietly canceled two plug-in models.At CES, one of the most under-the-radar stories came from Geely, the parent company of Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. With models like the Zeekr Z, 001, and 7X, plus their “Golden Brick” ultra-fast charging battery, we explore what it would mean if Zeekr begins U.S. production in South Carolina within 24–36 months—and how far behind U.S. automakers may be if current pullbacks continue.

Climate resilience via better data: 7 cm-resolution via satellites and aerial imagery that does in hours what 80,000 drones would do in weeks.

In this episode of Watts In The News, I break down why the latest Donut Labs and Ford announcements from CES may be widely misunderstood. With claims around solid state energy storage, autonomous driving, and comparisons to FSD, Tesla, and NVIDIA, the internet has been quick to label these developments as hype or even scams. YouTubers like Electric Viking have raised serious doubts, while others compare Donut Labs to battery giants like CATL, BYD, and LG — but are those comparisons even valid?I explain why Donut Labs' technology may not be a traditional solid-state battery at all, but something closer to a carbon-based nano energy storage system — neither a classic SSB nor a supercapacitor. We also unpack Ford's CES announcement on Level 2 and Level 3 autonomous driving, why it's being incorrectly compared to Tesla's FSD and robotaxi ambitions, and what Ford actually intends for its affordable next-gen EV platform launching around 2027.This episode cuts through the noise, explains the technology in plain English, and separates real innovation from unrealistic expectations.

Send us a textHow agricultural practices influence the nutrient density of foods, particularly meat, and the importance of hidden compounds beyond standard nutrition labels.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Nutrient density profiling: Labs analyze thousands of compounds beyond macros and vitamins; this “dark matter” includes phytonutrients that may support health despite not being essential.Phytonutrients in foods: Plant secondary metabolites like polyphenols act as antioxidants and influence pathways like mTOR; animals convert plant compounds into bioactives humans access via meat.Red meat definition: Refers to meats high in myoglobin, including beef and lamb; most meats are red in wild forms, but human intervention affects color and classification.Ruminant animals: Animals like cows that have multi-chambered stomachs to digest plants; this metabolism differs from non-ruminants (e.g. chickens), affecting nutrient profiles in their meat.Grass-fed vs. grain-fed beef: Grass-fed has higher omega-3 fats and phytonutrients from diverse plants; studies show it improves human omega-6:3 ratios and biomarkers from grass-fed, pastured-raised animals.Farming practices & variations: Plant diversity boosts beef nutrients.Upcoming research: Long-term trials on effects of pasture-raised foods on human health; interactive dashboards for farmers to profile nutrients and inform policy.ABOUT THE GUEST: Stephan Van Vliet, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences at Utah State University, where he directs the Center for Human Nutrition Studies, focusing on linking food production systems to nutrient profiles and conducting clinical trials on health impacts.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

The "join a hot company" narrative gets even more complicated once you enter the AI-native part of the market. In Part 3 of our PM Career Framework for AI series, we close out with the doors everyone's obsessing over: AI labs, hot AI startups, ex-growth companies, and founding.We unpack what these companies actually look for (spoiler: it's not "AI experience"), why hands-on builders win over managers, how location and pace become make-or-break constraints, and how to think about risk and chaos when the upside is real.If you're trying to figure out whether you should stay put in 2026, or make the leap into the AI frontier, this episode breaks down the tradeoffs.Key topics• What AI labs are really hiring for (and why "productized research" is the core skill)• Why AI labs want radically hands-on PMs, not managers• Why Big Tech experience can become "inside-the-building skills" that don't translate• Which companies expect 9-9-6 culture, and the self-selection problem it creates• Why some struggling-company VP roles are still worth taking• When equity becomes a psychological trap (and when to cut losses)• Why remote leadership roles are rapidly disappearing• The founder litmus test: why it's an emotional decision, not a spreadsheet decision• The upside of founding even when it fails: the career story compounding effectWhere to find other the parts of this series:• Part 1: https://theskip.substack.com/p/the-pm-career-framework-for-ai-how• Part 2: https://theskip.substack.com/p/the-pm-career-framework-for-ai-partWhere to find Nikhyl:• Twitter/X• LinkedInWhere to find Carly:• LinkedIn• She Leads Podcast• Twitter/XJoin The Skip:• Skip Coach• Skip CommunityFind The Skip:• Website• Substack• YouTube• Spotify• Apple PodcastsTimestamps(00:58) The “doors” framework: building a personal stack rank for AI(04:57) The “productized research” skill: turning magic into product(08:29) Why AI labs want hands-on builders, not managers(15:00) Does AI domain expertise matter?(19:14) Location constraints: The SF requirement for PM roles(21:39) The Atlassian → OpenAI decision: Upending everything for the skip job(30:16) Inside the high pace at AI Labs(32:00) Hot AI Startups: the IC role that's a step forward(39:12) The 9-9-6 Reality: who's actually doing it(41:59) The power years problem: Gender, biology, and self-selection(46:13) The brand value of hot AI startups(48:32) When equity becomes a psychological trap (and when to cut losses)(54:12) Why some struggling-company VP roles are still worth taking(58:53) Why remote leadership roles are declining(63:10) The ex-growth equity risk: Why your compensation might never materialize(65:24) Choosing between YC offer vs AI lab internship vs college(73:41) The founder litmus test: why it's an emotional decision, not a spreadsheet decision(80:24) When to join vs found(82:31) Constraints + doors = your personalized career advice This is a public episode.

How many times have you been told that being healthy means being at a certain weight or BMI? The reality is that weight and BMI tell us very little about your health.    A much better way to know how healthy your body is are your labs. Whenever I'm working with a client who has health concerns, the first thing we do is gather some data by looking at what their specific health concerns are, and their bloodwork that would give us clues as to how their health is looking.    Your weight tells us one thing: Your gravitational pull.   Your labs tell us many things: How well your organs are doing their jobs, how well your body is regulating its blood sugar, your risk of certain things like cardiovascular events, if you are sick with an infection, if you have systemic inflammation, whether or not you have certain diseases, and so much more.    In this episode, I'm walking you through the labs that I look at and recommend most frequently as a dietitian. These are the labs that tell us what to focus on when it comes to gentle nutrition strategies, and it's a way of listening to what your body is communicating (which is absolutely part of intuitive eating).    *DISCLAIMER: I'm obviously not a doctor, and you should ask your doctor about all of this and work with them to understand what lab tests are most appropriate for you and your unique health needs. Episode Highlights ✨ The most important labs to pay attention to for your health and nutrition ✨ Why these labs matter more than the number on the scale ever will for your health ✨ The surprising set of labs that you do NOT need to have checked, even if you think you might be in perimenopause   Today's Wellness Woo is sauerkraut to cure depression.   Resources Mentioned  - Grab my free Perimenopause Labs Cheat Sheet - DM me for info about my annual membership, Non-Dieter's Club   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey  Join my weekly newsletter email list for tips, resources, book recommendations and more!  Work with Katy Explore the self-paced mini-course Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster Connect with Katy Harvey Website: KatyHarvey.net Instagram: @katyharvey.rd Facebook: KatyHarveyRD  Subscribe and Review Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

In 2020 and 2021, she was co-executive producer on the CBS drama "Clarice," the television sequel to the Academy Award winning film "The Silence of the Lambs," and directed the two-part season finale.Davis began her career writing and directing independent features. Both of her films premiered in Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival internationally at Edinburgh. She's best known for "Lift," the story of a "booster" or professional shoplifter, which was selected for the prestigious Sundance Director's and Screenwriter's Labs. It starred Kerry Washington in her first leading role. "Lift" was honored with two Spirit Award nominations before airing originally on Showtime.Davis was working on teleplays and freelancing as an advertising copywriter when the prolific director and producer Ava DuVernay ("ORIGIN," "When They See Us" literally "slipped into her DMs. DuVernay asked her to helm an episode of her groundbreaking series, "Queen Sugar" (OWN). Davis, of course, agreed and arrived at the "Queen Sugar " production office on crutches (who has time for a broken ankle?). Later that summer, DuVernay asked Davis to be Producing Director on the third season of "Queen Sugar." She directed the celebrated premiere where Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe) learns he's not the father of his son, as well as two more episodes while overseeing DuVernay's all female, first-time-TV-directing sisterhood. She was also one of a handful of directors asked to return by DuVernay to direct two episodes of the final acclaimed season of "Queen Sugar" in 2022.Davis has directed the GLAAD Media Award nominated series, "The Red Line" (CBS), episodes of "You" and "The Girls on the Bus" for HBO/MAX. She also helmed "For the People," and multiple episodes of fan favorites "How to Get Away with Murder" and "Station 19"When not directing, Davis splits her time between writing and being involved with several philanthropic endeavors including ABCD Boston (an organization dedicated to eradicating poverty), The Innocence Project and the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism.

Episode 210: Heat Stroke BasicsWritten by Jacob Dunn, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice. Definition:Heat stroke represents the most severe form of heat-related illness, characterized by a core body temperature exceeding 40°C (104°F) accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Arreaza: Key element is the body temperature and altered mental status. Jacob: This life-threatening condition arises from the body's failure to dissipate heat effectively, often in the context of excessive environmental heat load or strenuous physical activity. Arreaza: You mentioned, it is a spectrum. What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? Jacob: Unlike milder heat illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke involves multisystem organ dysfunction driven by direct thermal injury, systemic inflammation, and cytokine release. You can think of it as the body's thermostat breaking under extreme stress — leading to rapid, cascading failures if not addressed immediately. Arreaza: Tell us what you found out about the pathophysiology of heat stroke?Jacob: Pathophysiology: Under normal conditions, the body keeps its core temperature tightly controlled through sweating, vasodilation of skin blood vessels, and behavioral responses like seeking shade or drinking water. But in extreme heat or prolonged exertion, those mechanisms get overwhelmed.Once core temperature rises above about 40°C (104°F), the hypothalamus—the brain's thermostat—can't keep up. The body shifts from controlled thermoregulation to uncontrolled, passive heating. Heat stroke isn't just someone getting too hot—it's a full-blown failure of the body's heat-regulating system. Arreaza: So, it's interesting. the cell functions get affected at this point, several dangerous processes start happening at the same time.Jacob: Yes: Cellular Heat InjuryHigh temperatures disrupt proteins, enzymes, and cell membranes. Mitochondria start to fail, ATP production drops, and cells become leaky. This leads to direct tissue injury in vital organs like the brain, liver, kidneys, and heart.Arreaza: Yikes. Cytokines play a big role in the pathophysiology of heat stroke too. Jacob: Systemic Inflammatory ResponseHeat damages the gut barrier, allowing endotoxins to enter the bloodstream. This triggers a massive cytokine release—similar to sepsis. The result is widespread inflammation, endothelial injury, and microvascular collapse.Arreaza: What other systems are affected?Coagulation AbnormalitiesEndothelial damage activates the clotting cascade. Patients may develop a DIC-like picture: microthrombi forming in some areas while clotting factors get consumed in others. This contributes to organ dysfunction and bleeding.Circulatory CollapseAs the body shunts blood to the skin for cooling, perfusion to vital organs drops. Combine that with dehydration from sweating and fluid loss, and you get hypotension, decreased cardiac output, and worsening ischemia.Arreaza: And one of the key features is neurologic dysfunction.Jacob: Neurologic DysfunctionThe brain is extremely sensitive to heat. Encephalopathy, confusion, seizures, and coma occur because neurons malfunction at high temperatures. This is why altered mental status is the hallmark of true heat stroke.Arreaza: Cell injury, inflammation, coagulopathy, circulatory collapse and neurologic dysfunction. Jacob: Ultimately, heat stroke is a multisystem catastrophic event—a combination of thermal injury, inflammatory storm, coagulopathy, and circulatory collapse. Without rapid cooling and aggressive supportive care, these processes spiral into irreversible organ failure.Background and Types:Arreaza: Heat stroke is part of a spectrum of heat-related disorders—it is a true medical emergency. Mortality rate reaches 30%, even with optimal treatment. This mortality correlates directly with the duration of core hyperthermia. I'm reminded of the first time I heard about heat stroke in a baby who was left inside a car in the summer 2005. Jacob: There are two primary types: -nonexertional (classic) heat stroke, which develops insidiously over days and predominantly affects vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses during heat waves; -exertional heat stroke, which strikes rapidly in young, otherwise healthy individuals, often during intense exercise in hot, humid conditions. Arreaza: In our community, farm workers are especially at risk of heat stroke, but any person living in the Central Valley is basically at risk.Jacob: Risk factors amplify vulnerability across both types, including dehydration, cardiovascular disease, medications that impair sweating (e.g., anticholinergics), and acclimatization deficits. Notably, anhidrosis (lack of sweating) is common but not required for diagnosis. Hot, dry skin can signal the shift from heat exhaustion to stroke. Arreaza: What other conditions look like heat stroke?Differential Diagnosis:Jacob: Presenting with altered mental status and hyperthermia, heat stroke demands a broad differential to avoid missing mimics. -Environmental: heat exhaustion, syncope, or cramps. -Infectious etiologies like sepsis or meningitis must be ruled out. -Endocrine emergencies such as thyroid storm, pheochromocytoma, or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can overlap. -Neurologic insults include cerebrovascular accident (CVA), hypothalamic lesions (bleeding or infarct), or status epilepticus. -Toxicologic culprits are plentiful—sympathomimetic or anticholinergic toxidromes, salicylate poisoning, serotonin syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), or even alcohol/benzodiazepine withdrawal. When it comes to differentials, it is always best to cast a wide net and think about what we could be missing if this is not heat stroke. Arreaza: Let's say we have a patient with hyperthermia and we have to assess him in the ER. What should we do to diagnose it?Jacob: Workup:Diagnosis is primarily clinical, hinging on documented hyperthermia (>40°C) plus CNS changes (e.g., confusion, delirium, seizures, coma) in a hot environment. Arreaza: No single lab confirms it, but targeted testing allows us to detect complications and rule out alternative diagnosis. Jacob: -Start with ECG to assess for dysrhythmias or ischemic changes (sinus tachycardia is classic; ST depressions or T-wave inversions may hint at myocardial strain). -Labs include complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (electrolytes, renal function, liver enzymes), glucose, arterial blood gas, lactate (elevated in shock), coagulation studies (for disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC), creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (for rhabdomyolysis), and urinalysis. Toxicology screen if history suggests. Arreaza: I can imagine doing all this while trying to cool down the patient. What about imaging?-Imaging: chest X-ray for pulmonary issues, non-contrast head CT if neurologic concerns suggest edema or bleed (consider lumbar puncture if infection suspected). It is important to note that continuous core temperature monitoring—via rectal, esophageal, or bladder probe—is essential, not just peripheral skin checks. Arreaza: TreatmentManagement:Time is tissue here—initiate cooling en route, if possible, as delays skyrocket morbidity. ABCs first: secure airway (intubate if needed, favoring rocuronium over succinylcholine to avoid hyperkalemia risk), support breathing, and stabilize circulation. -Remove the patient from the heat source, strip clothing, and launch aggressive cooling to target 38-39°C (102-102°F) before halting to prevent rebound hypothermia. -For exertional cases, ice-water immersion reigns supreme—it's the fastest method, with immersion in cold water resulting in near-100% survival if started within 30 minutes. -Nonexertional benefits from evaporative cooling: mist with tepid water (15-25°C) plus fans for convective airflow. -Adjuncts include ice packs to neck, axillae, and groin; -room-temperature IV fluids (avoid cold initially to prevent shivering); -refractory cases, invasive options like peritoneal lavage, endovascular cooling catheters, or even ECMO. -Fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer's or normal saline (250-500 mL boluses) protects kidneys and counters rhabdomyolysis—aim for urine output of 2-3 mL/kg/hour. Arreaza: What about medications?Jacob: Benzodiazepines (e.g., lorazepam) control agitation, seizures, or shivering; propofol or fentanyl if intubated. Avoid antipyretics like acetaminophen. For intubation, etomidate or ketamine as induction agents. Hypotension often resolves with cooling and fluids; if not, use dopamine or dobutamine over norepinephrine to avoid vasoconstriction. Jacob: What IV fluid is recommended/best for patients with heat stroke?Both lactated Ringer's solution and normal saline are recommended as initial IV fluids for rehydration, but balanced crystalloids such as LR are increasingly favored due to their lower risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and AKI. However, direct evidence comparing the two specifically in the setting of heat stroke is limited. Arreaza: Are cold IV fluids better/preferred over room temperature fluids?Cold IV fluids are recommended as an adjunctive therapy to help lower core temperature in heat stroke, but they should not delay or replace primary cooling methods such as cold-water immersion. Cold IV fluids can decrease core temperature more rapidly than room temperature fluids. For example, 30mL/kg bolus of chilled isotonic fluids at 4 degrees Celsius over 30 minutes can decrease core temperature by about 1 degree Celsius, compared to 0.5 degree Celsius with room temperature fluids. Arreaza: Getting cold IV sounds uncomfortable but necessary for those patients. Our favorite topic.Screening and Prevention:-Heat stroke prevention focuses on public health and individual awareness rather than routine testing. -High-risk groups—elderly, children, athletes, laborers, or those on impairing meds—should acclimatize gradually (7-14 days), hydrate preemptively (electrolyte solutions over plain water), and monitor temperature in exertional settings. -Communities during heat waves need cooling centers and alerts. -For clinicians, educate patients with CVD or obesity about early signs like dizziness or nausea. -No formal "screening" exists, but vigilance in EDs during summer surges saves lives. -Arreaza: I think awareness is a key element in prevention, so education of the public through traditional media like TV, and even social media can contribute to the prevention of this catastrophic condition.Jacob: Ya so heat stroke is something that should be on every physician's radar in the central valley especially in the summer time given the hot temperatures. Rapid recognition is key. Arreaza: Thanks, Jacob for this topic, and until next time, this is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

What happens when the push for smarter crypto wallets runs headfirst into the reality that everything on a public blockchain can be seen by anyone? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I wanted to take listeners who may not live and breathe Web3 every day and introduce them to a problem that is becoming harder to ignore. As Ethereum evolves and smart accounts unlock new wallet features, the surface area for risk grows at the same time. That is where privacy-first Layer 2 solutions enter the conversation, not as an abstract idea, but as a practical response to very real security and usability concerns. My guest is Joe Andrews, Co-founder and President at Aztec Labs. Joe brings an engineering mindset shaped by years of building consumer-facing applications and deep privacy infrastructure. Together, we unpack why privacy and security can no longer be treated as separate topics, especially as Ethereum rolls out more advanced account features. Joe explains how privacy-first Layer 2 networks act as an added line of defense, reducing exposure to threats that come from fully transparent balances, identities, and transaction histories. We also talk about what Aztec actually is, often described as the Private World Computer, and why that framing matters. Joe shares learnings from Aztec's public testnet launch earlier this year, what surprised the team once thousands of nodes were running in the wild, and how the community has stepped up in ways the company itself could not have planned for. There is also an honest discussion about the UK crypto scene, the missed opportunities, and the quiet resilience of builders who continue to ship despite regulatory uncertainty. As we look ahead, Joe outlines what comes next as Aztec moves closer to enabling private transactions on a decentralized network, and why the next phase is less about theory and more about real people using privacy in everyday interactions. If you are curious about how privacy-first Layer 2 solutions fit into Ethereum's roadmap, or why privacy might be the missing piece that finally makes smart wallets usable at scale, does this conversation change how you think about the future of crypto, and where would you like to see this technology go next?

Many women describe a pattern they are never able to explain. They eat well, exercise consistently, and follow every recommendation they are given. Yet their weight fluctuates, their mood shifts unpredictably, and their focus disappears for weeks at a time. Anxiety creeps in. Depression settles quietly. Brain fog becomes normal. And eventually, shame takes over.This is not a motivation problem.This is not a discipline issue.And it is not “all in your head.”In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Sarah Oreck to reveal why PCOS is not just a hormonal or reproductive condition, but a whole-body mental health story that has been overlooked for decades.Instead of viewing PCOS through isolated symptoms like irregular cycles, acne, or fertility struggles, Dr. Oreck explains how insulin resistance, inflammation, cortisol dysregulation, and androgen shifts directly affect brain chemistry, cognition, emotional regulation, and stress tolerance. She breaks down why women with PCOS experience significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, brain fog, and eating disorders, even when routine labs appear normal.This episode explores how blood sugar instability alters neurotransmitter production, why inflammation may be a core driver of mood disorders, and how chronic stress and cortisol overload reshape the nervous system over time. Dr. Taz and Dr. Oreck also examine the role of medical gaslighting, delayed diagnosis, and the psychological toll of being told symptoms are imagined, exaggerated, or self-inflicted.From adolescence through fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause, this conversation reframes PCOS as a condition that affects the brain, gut, metabolism, and nervous system together, not in isolation. It highlights why symptom masking often fails, why talk therapy alone is not enough during hormonal dysregulation, and why true healing requires integrated, compassionate care.You will learn why weight swings are not about willpower, why mood changes often track with insulin and cortisol rather than character, how gut health and microbiome shifts influence cognition, and what it means to become hormone-literate early, for yourself and for your children.Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Oreck offer a clear, validating roadmap for anyone who has felt dismissed, confused, or trapped in a body that will not respond the way it is supposed to.Dr. Taz and Dr. Sarah Oreck discuss: • Why PCOS has a major mental health component that is rarely addressed • How insulin resistance and blood sugar swings impact mood and cognition • The link between inflammation and anxiety, depression, and brain fog • Why cortisol and chronic stress intensify PCOS symptoms • How medical gaslighting delays diagnosis and fuels shame • Why fertility journeys often uncover long-missed PCOS patterns • The connection between PCOS and eating disorders like bulimia • How gut health and microbiome shifts affect brain function • Why birth control can help some women and worsen symptoms for others • The importance of hormone literacy across the lifespan • How to advocate for yourself when symptoms are dismissed • Why healing requires integrated care, not isolated fixesAbout Dr. Sarah Oreck Dr. Sarah Oreck is a reproductive psychiatrist and the founder of Mavida Health. She specializes in the intersection of female reproductive hormones and mental health, with a focus on conditions like PCOS, fertility-related mood disorders, pregnancy, and postpartum mental health. Through clinical care, education, and community building, she works to close the gap between psychiatry, endocrinology, and whole-person medicine.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Sarah OreckInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahoreckmdWebsite: https://www.sarahoreckmd.com/ & https://mavidahealth.com/ Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek) (00:00) - Doing everything right but nothing changes (00:18) - Shame and medical gaslighting (00:37) - PCOS as a mental health story (01:16) - Inflammation and brain chemistry (02:00) - Focus, memory, emotions, and PCOS (04:21) - Origin story: hormones and gaslighting (06:11) - Why PCOS is missed (07:52) - PCOS and depression/anxiety rates (09:22) - Why fertility journeys reveal PCOS (11:30) - Labs and patterns clinicians ignore (12:59) - Diagnosis criteria explained (14:57) - Blood sugar swings and mood (15:56) - Insulin resistance and cognition (18:18) - Cortisol, stress, and PCOS (20:51) - Pregnancy exposure and cortisol (27:11) - Why we need screening tools (30:49) - Supplements that may help (32:15) - Microbiome and brain fog (44:31) - Rehearsing your story with doctors (46:10) - PCOS and bulimia connection (49:42) - Become hormone literate early

New infrastructure primitives are creating entirely new rails for building.In this episode of Big Ideas 2026, we explore three foundational shifts that unlock new markets and workflows, not through incremental upgrades, but through primitives that compound over time.First, programmable money evolves beyond stablecoins into on-chain credit origination and synthetic financial products, offering lower operational costs and greater composability than traditional finance. Second, autonomy begins entering scientific research through collaborative labs, where AI reasoning models work alongside automation and robotics, and interpretability becomes essential for progress. Third, distribution itself becomes a primitive, as AI-native startups win early by selling to other startups at formation, then scale alongside the next generation of companies.You will hear from Guy Willette on the next phase of on-chain finance, Oliver Shu on autonomous labs and AI-assisted discovery, and James da Costa on the greenfield go-to-market strategy.Together, these ideas define what new infrastructure primitives really mean: the rails that enable entirely new systems to emerge, compound, and scale. Resources:Read more all of our 2026 Big IdeasPart 1: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-1Part 2: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-2/Part 3: https://a16z.com/newsletter/big-ideas-2026-part-3/Crypto Big Ideas: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/big-ideas-things-excited-about-crypto-2026/ Stay Updated:If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

We all know about the Nazi death camps — the grotesque human experiments, the pseudoscience paraded as progress. That's the part of World War II we were taught to never forget. But what about the other horror — the one the world conveniently forgot? In Japan, there was **Unit 731**, a secret military bioweapons program where doctors performed live dissections, froze people to death, and unleashed plague and anthrax on entire villages. Thousands were tortured and killed in the name of “science.”

In this episode, we look at how Peripheral Labs is using AI and computer vision to bring volumetric video to live sports, allowing fans and broadcasters to view plays from any angle in real time. We also break down the startup's $3.6 million seed round and why investors think immersive, data-rich sports viewing could become the next standard for media and entertainment.Try Delve: https://delve.co/Get the top 40+ AI Models for $20 at AI Box: ⁠⁠https://aibox.aiJoin my AI Hustle Community: https://www.skool.com/aihustleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So many people with Hashimoto's carry emotional patterns they don't even realize are affecting their thyroid. Today we take a closer look at the invisible habits we learn early in life, the ones that quietly shape how safe we feel being ourselves.Sometimes you minimize what hurt you. Sometimes you feel responsible for other people's reactions. Sometimes you stop trusting your own knowing, even when your body is nudging you in the right direction. These patterns may seem emotional on the surface, but they create real physiological stress, and your thyroid feels every bit of it.This episode explores why these habits form, how they show up in everyday situations, and why the thyroid is uniquely sensitive to self-expression, boundaries, and inner trust. You will see how simple shifts in awareness can help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported from the inside out.If you have ever felt like you disappear inside your own life, or like your voice gets quieter when you need it most, this conversation will help you reconnect to yourself in a deeper way. Your thyroid responds to that connection, and you may be surprised how much changes when you begin to honor what you truly feel.Healing is not only biochemical, it  is also emotional, energetic, and rooted in how you relate to yourself every day. For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/thyroid-labs-hashimotos/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

Episode 116: Today I'm sitting down with the founders of MARA Labs, Dr. John Gildea and David Roberts, for a real conversation about inflammation, detox pathways, and metabolic health. They dive into the benefits of sulforaphane (and why it's one of the most researched compounds for cellular health), how berberine actually works in the body, and how their supplement, GLPERFECT compares to Ozempic. We also talk about the rise of Ozempic and GLP-1 medications. They tell us the benefits, the risks, and what most people are missing when they jump straight to medication without understanding their inflammation, blood sugar, or lifestyle first.If you've ever wondered what moves the needle for longevity, detox pathways, metabolic support, or gut health, this episode breaks it down in a way that finally makes sense.Whether you're supplement-curious or navigating the Ozempic conversation yourself, this is a must-listen for anyone who wants real, sustainable health, not shortcuts.Hi Gracie!!
