Join the Movement for Above Knee Amputees       What if joining the movement means becoming part of the future of amputee care? In this episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Jake and Hiva, two PhD students from the University of Michigan, who are working on research that could help shape the future of prosthetic technology for above-knee amputees. This conversation was personal for me because I know what it feels like to step into the unknown for the sake of healing, hope, and future possibilities. Last year, I chose to take part in an experimental surgical procedure, and I know the questions, fears, and emotions that come with making that kind of decision. It is not easy to say yes to something new, especially when it involves your body, your mobility, and your future. Jake and Hiva are currently working with RPNI, which stands for Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface. In simple terms, this procedure helps give nerves a new place to grow by wrapping them in small muscle grafts. These “muscle burritos,” as Jake described them, may help researchers better understand movement intention and even explore how a person could one day control a powered prosthetic knee or ankle more naturally.     What excites me most is that this research is not only about technology. It is about trust. It is about sensation. It is about helping amputees feel more connected to the ground beneath them and the prosthesis they rely on every day. As amputees, we know the physical work it takes to walk again, but many people do not see the mental load that comes with every single step. Research like this could help reduce that disconnect and move us closer to more natural, confident movement.           This study is currently looking for above-knee amputees who are comfortable using their prosthesis, able to navigate daily life without a wheelchair, and willing to be part of something bigger. Travel, lodging, and food are covered for participants who qualify. The study does involve surgery, so it is not a decision to take lightly, but it may be an opportunity for someone who is already dealing with nerve pain, neuromas, or who feels called to help move the prosthetic field forward. Research does not move forward without us. Every advancement we see in prosthetics today happened because someone before us said yes.   So here is my call to action: Join the Movement. Do not just listen to the conversation; become part of the change. Visit WarriorGround to learn how you can get involved, support amputee research, become an ambassador for Limbs for Humanity, connect with Stride Robotics, or explore opportunities like this University of Michigan study. You can also email Jake at: jkanetis@umich.edu or email Hiva at: razavih@umich.edu Let's rise up, warriors. Our stories, our bodies, and our willingness to step forward can help build a better future for amputees to come.   And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,       Click the link below to see the flyer for the University of Michigan study: LL RPNI Flyer (1) 2

Yoga is an inquiry into the nature of the mind, body, and consciousness. It provides a ritual that fosters belonging, meaning, and purpose, creating a sense of community and support. Through asana, yoga helps focus the mind on the breath, entering a state of stillness and awareness. A balanced practice is grounded in ethics and personal discipline, guided by the 8 Limbs of Yoga, particularly the Yamas (ethical guidelines) and Niyamas (observances). Key principles include non-violence (Ahimsa), truthfulness (Satya), and self-study (Svadhyaya).Asana practice emphasises steadiness (Sthira) and ease (Sukham), with focus on breath, sensation, and internal light (prana). This leads to overcoming duality and attaining a state of yoga. Obstacles such as dullness and self-doubt arise, but cultivating awareness, friendliness, joy, and compassion can help overcome them. Using tools like R.A.I.N. (Recognise, Allow, Investigate, Nurture), we learn to self-regulate and move toward lasting fulfilment and freedom from suffering.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Limbs For Humanity: Restoring Hope One Leg at a Time     In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode of Be a Warrior Podcast, I sit down with two men who have not only walked alongside me in my own journey as prosthetists, but who have also chosen to step far beyond the walls of their profession to answer a much bigger calling. Randy and David, co-founders of Limbs for Humanity, join me to share the heart, mission, and real-world impact of bringing prosthetic care to those who would otherwise never have access to it. After spending the past month highlighting the deeply personal stories of survivors rising into warriors through limb loss, this conversation takes us one step further. Because what happens when someone has the strength, the will, and the fight… but no access to care? What happens when survival isn't enough because the resources simply aren't there?     That's where Limbs for Humanity steps in. Randy and David open up about how their work as everyday practitioners exposed a growing and heartbreaking gap—even here in the United States. Patients with jobs, families, and insurance still found themselves unable to afford prosthetics due to overwhelming deductibles and lack of coverage. What began as quiet, pro bono care quickly revealed a much larger need—one that couldn't be ignored.     That need didn't stop at our borders. A single message about an underserved clinic in Rocky Point, Mexico sparked what would become a life-changing mission. Within months, they packed up their car and headed south, unsure of what to expect. What they found was staggering: hundreds of amputees with little to no access to prosthetic care. But what impacted them most wasn't just the need—it was the people. Their resilience. Their gratitude. Their spirit.     We talk about the stark differences between limb loss in the U.S. and in underserved countries—where something as treatable as an infection can lead to amputation. Where young parents in their twenties and thirties lose limbs and, with them, their ability to provide for their families. And yet, even in the face of that, their strength is undeniable. Through heartfelt stories—like young children receiving their first prosthetic and running, playing, and simply being kids again—you begin to understand that this work goes far beyond mobility. It restores dignity. Independence. Purpose.           But it's not without its challenges. The greatest barrier? Resources. Not time. Not skill. But the tangible components—knees, feet, liners—that make each prosthetic possible. Even with reduced costs and donated materials, the need far outweighs what they can currently provide. And that's where this episode becomes more than a conversation—it becomes a call to action. There are so many ways to get involved. From donating funds or unused prosthetic parts, to volunteering time, offering professional skills like grant writing, or simply spreading awareness. One of the most exciting calls to action introduced in this episode is the push for ambassadors in all 50 states—individuals willing to be the voice of this mission in their own communities. Because here's the truth: you don't have to change the whole world to make an impact. You just have to be willing to help change one life. This episode is a reminder that being a warrior isn't just about overcoming your own battles—it's about reaching back and lifting someone else up. And together, we have the power to do just that.   Join the journey! Check out their website HERE and ways you can get involved! Want to find out how to become an ambassador? Check it out on my Warrior Ground website, HERE!   Become a part of something bigger, and join the movement! Have a blessed week, and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,

Are you collecting yogic wisdom… or in a relationship with Divine mystery? Today we're opening into Chapter 7 of the Bhagavad Gita, and it's a true turning point. The first six chapters have been so much about discipline, self-mastery, and effort… but here, we pivot into the bhakti arc: relationship with the divine.

Denji is robbed of a normal teenage life, left with nothing but his deadbeat father's overwhelming debt. His only companion is his pet, the chainsaw devil Pochita, with whom he slays devils for money that inevitably ends up in the yakuza's pockets. All Denji can do is dream of a good, simple life: one with delicious food and a beautiful girlfriend by his side. But an act of greedy betrayal by the yakuza leads to Denji's brutal, untimely death, crushing all hope of him ever achieving happiness. Remarkably, an old contract allows Pochita to merge with the deceased Denji and bestow devil powers on him, changing him into a hybrid able to transform his body parts into chainsaws. Because Denji's new abilities pose a significant risk to society, the Public Safety Bureau's elite devil hunter Makima takes him in, letting him live as long as he obeys her command. Guided by the promise of a content life alongside an attractive woman, Denji devotes everything and fights with all his might to make his naive dreams a reality.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSAsZiNshPZteBbyd5MuYYg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Vascular surgeon Xzabia Caliste discusses her article, "The silent disease causing 400 amputations daily." She shares the heartbreaking personal story of witnessing both her aunt and uncle lose their limbs to peripheral artery disease (PAD), a preventable condition that causes over 400 amputations every day in the U.S. Xzabia explains how PAD restricts blood flow and why symptoms like leg pain or non-healing wounds are often dangerously dismissed as simple aging. The discussion addresses the critical "confidence gap" in primary care, where eighty percent of providers feel unprepared to diagnose vascular disease, and highlights the urgent need for early screening for those with risk factors like diabetes and smoking. Learn how to recognize the subtle warning signs of vascular disease and advocate for the specialized care that can save your mobility and independence.

Why do we still dial phones with no dials, roll down windows that don't roll, and store things in cupboards that hold no cups? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore linguistic ghost limbs—words and phrases that outlived the objects they once described. From cupboard, dashboard, and glove box to carbon copy, footage, horsepower, and deadlines, language refuses to let go of the past. These verbal fossils reveal how history lingers in everyday speech through semantic shift, fossilized metaphors, and semantic bleaching. Then the show heads deep into New England folklore with the chilling legend of the Melon Heads of Connecticut—grotesque figures said to haunt back roads like Velvet Street and the edges of Roosevelt Forest.

We covered everything from meningococcal to martinis to Sharknado (yeah, you read that right) and somehow landed on life philosophy that was equal parts hilarious and profound. He talked me through losing all four limbs at 19 like he was describing a flat tyre, then dropped these ridiculous one-liners that had me lolling my heart out. And in the next breath he’s unpacking responsibility, identity, adaptation, and why sweating the small stuff is sometimes exactly the point. This chat was chaotic in the best possible way... funny, deep (even though he swears he’s not deep), and full of these moments that sneak up and smack you right in the perspective. Strap in.

Finding Purpose and Joy In This Season     We're deep into December, and the Christmas spirit is everywhere—homes decorated with lights, the smell of cookies, gatherings, endless lists of to-dos. This time of year is magical, but it's also overwhelming. We often rush from task to task, trying to make everything perfect, and before we know it, Christmas comes and goes in a blur. Every year, I remind myself: Be present. Really be in the moment. And yet, like so many of us, I still catch myself speeding through the season, missing the beauty right in front of me. Last week, I shared about Limbs for Humanity, an incredible organization heading to Rocky Point Medical Clinic with 53 prosthetics—most of them above-knee—for 49 people, including a few bilateral amputees. They work tirelessly and always need help, whether through donations, volunteering, or supplying prosthetic parts. I encourage anyone listening to learn more, especially during this season of giving, because providing someone the gift of mobility is life-changing—not just for them, but for everyone around them.   Some recepients of the generosity of Limbs For Humanity   But today's episode shifts from giving in a material way to giving with your presence. And this message hit me hard after hosting my annual Christmas cookie exchange. Every year I throw two big gatherings—one for Halloween, which I love, and one for the holidays with my cookie exchange. This year my home was filled with gorgeous faces, familiar laughter, new friends I hadn't seen in years, women who traveled across town because they wanted to be part of something meaningful and joyful. I spent days creating handmade crafts—because I love creating in bulk and making unique gifts for people—but what filled my soul wasn't the crafts, or the cookies, or the decorations. It was the simple act of seeing people show up.   Friends and the Power of Connections Making gifts brings me joy and keeps me active and positive on harder days       There's something incredibly powerful about people choosing to be present, especially during one of the busiest months of the year. And that's when it clicked for me: as much as we talk about being present during the holidays, it's the very thing we often lose our grip on the fastest. Being present doesn't erase the pain, struggles, or discomfort—especially for amputees. As amputees, we know there's rarely a day when something in our body isn't weird, uncomfortable, painful, or frustrating. Phantom pain hits out of nowhere. The socket might feel too tight, too loose, too heavy, too something. Sometimes sitting on the couch at night feels uncomfortable. Sometimes the good leg takes a beating and we're reminded of how much pressure it carries. Pain is real, and it can take center stage quickly. But being present doesn't mean focusing on the pain of the moment—it means choosing what part of the moment gets your attention. Yes, we can distract ourselves. I do it all the time: I hit the gym, work on crafts, visit my horses, pour myself into hobbies, or push through discomfort because I refuse to let it control me. But there's a difference between distraction and presence. Distraction removes us from the moment; presence anchors us in it. Presence says: Yes, I hurt—but I'm still here. Yes, this is hard—but there is beauty in this moment too.       And this is where so many amputees get stuck. We become hyper-aware of how we feel… constantly. How does this feel now? What about now? Is this getting worse? Is this going to ruin the day? We begin measuring moments by levels of pain rather than levels of joy. And that traps us in waiting mode—waiting for a better moment instead of living the one we're in. But the present is a gift—that's why it's called the present. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. We are not even guaranteed the next hour. What we do have is right now.

Zach sits down with Kristan and Brook Seaford, a couple whose marriage was transformed overnight when Kristan contracted a rare and catastrophic infection in 2013. What began as strep throat and the flu quickly escalated into pneumonia, sepsis, organ failure, septic shock, and ultimately the loss of both hands, one foot, and part of the other—a 108-day medical ordeal across six hospitals that changed her life and their family forever. But what unfolds in this interview is not just a medical story—it's a relationship story. Kristan describes the grief of returning home to a toddler who no longer recognized her, the ache of losing the physical abilities that once defined her identity, and the spiritual shift from fierce independence to complete dependence on God. Brook shares his own transformation as the family's roles flipped overnight—learning to parent five children, run a home he once took for granted, and support a partner rebuilding her life. Together, Kristan and Brook talk about humor as survival, forgiveness as practice, community as a lifeline, and the unexpected gifts that emerged from unimaginable loss. They explore how their affection, partnership, and independence have evolved, how they've adapted to enjoy life together in new ways, and how their children have grown stronger, more empathetic, and more capable because of what their family lived through. Kristan now speaks publicly about resilience, faith, and healing—and this conversation demonstrates the courage and compassion at the heart of her work. Key Takeaways A medical miracle and a marital transformation – Kristan survived sepsis and organ failure, losing limbs but gaining a deeper sense of gratitude, faith, and purpose. Roles reversed overnight – Brook shifted from traditional breadwinner to full-time caregiver and household manager, discovering new respect for the invisible labor of parenting and home life. Anger and grief show up differently – She grieved deeply but rarely felt anger; he felt anger for her, mourning all that had been taken from someone he loved. Rebuilding attachment takes intention – Their 13-month-old daughter was terrified when Kristan came home—so Kristan slept on the nursery floor for months to rebuild their bond. Humor is holy – Dark humor and playful banter became a coping mechanism for both the trauma and the awkward social moments that followed. The story shaped their kids – Their five children grew more independent, responsible, and compassionate as they adapted to new family rhythms. Partnership evolves – Though physical limitations changed what activities they can share, they now intentionally seek “new fun” together—breweries, museums, comedy clubs, creative classes, and cruises instead of scuba diving. Her disability makes her a better counselor – Kristan says she isn't a good mom, wife, or therapist despite what happened—but in many ways because of it.

  Helping Those in Need     December is finally here, and with it comes the beautiful chaos of the holiday season. In my house, it's full-blown hysteria—parties, travel, gifts, deadlines, and the constant juggling act that December always brings. But this particular week holds special meaning because it's Giving Tuesday, and today's episode carries a message that sits deeply in my heart: the power, privilege, and pricelessness of mobility. If you're listening for the first time, I'm an above-knee amputee. My amputation took place in December of 2018 after a five-year stretch of pain, surgeries, limited mobility, and a profound loss of the life I once lived. Back in 2013, a taekwondo injury started a domino effect of setbacks—ten surgeries with ten different surgeons, countless appointments, and a knee that eventually functioned at only a twenty-degree range of motion. I couldn't bend my leg normally, and I couldn't straighten it either. Each step felt like walking on different-length legs, which wrecked my back, my neck, and my spirit.   Me, pre-amputation in TaeKwonDo   For five and a half years, I listened to doctors tell me to slow down, ice, elevate, rest, repeat—and none of it worked. Some doctors refused to even see me because my case was too complicated. Some barely looked at me during appointments. One told me that if I amputated, I'd never walk again. I was stuck, physically and emotionally, and I spent so many days crying in the shower, wondering how my entire life had been derailed. I missed out on years of skiing with my young boys. I gained sixty pounds. I feared I might never live actively again.   Getting back to skiing with my family was life changing!   Choosing amputation was my turning point. It was choosing life over fear. And once I connected with my prosthetist team and physical therapists, that hope grew into freedom. They guided me before and after surgery, walked me through what to expect, taught me patience, and helped me understand that amputees go through years of limb changes. In fact, it took me over three years and sixteen sockets before I finally had one that fit consistently. But each step, each adjustment, each hard moment, was worth every ounce of effort.   Day 1 Post-amputation   My 1st check socket!   The first time I stood and walked on my prosthetic, everything changed for me. Mobility wasn't just movement—it was identity, joy, independence, and belonging. My life wasn't over. It was just beginning in a different form. And that brings me to why this episode matters so much. I'm on the board of Limbs for Humanity, a nonprofit founded by my two prosthetists who felt called to bring mobility to underserved communities—places with no prosthetic care and people who cannot afford the basic devices required to walk. They partner with the medical clinic in Rocky Point, Mexico, a place without any prosthetic specialists, and every time they go, 40–60 amputees show up—many who have crutched miles just to be seen. This December, they're returning to Rocky Point with 53 prosthetic legs, ready to restore mobility to 49 individuals, including bilateral amputees and several children. Most of these legs require expensive components: knees, ankles, feet—parts that often cost tens of thousands of dollars. My own prosthetic runs between $60,000 and $75,000. But these men give their time, skills, and hearts to fabricate sockets, assemble devices, fit patients, and teach them to walk again.   A special individual getting fitted for their new sockets- Bi-lateral amputee   The many parts Limbs For Humanity use and are in need of to service all of their patients     That's a lot of socket casts! These are brought home to create the sockets for each individual   Each socket takes 4–5 hours to create, and every leg is custom. And these individuals aren't seeking mobility for recreation or convenience—they want to walk s...

Black Sabbath are solely responsible for conjuring the diabolical power of heavy metal. When guitarist Tony Iommi lost his fingertips as a teenager, he turned to a less painful style of playing— a style that produced a new, genre-defining type of gloom and heaviness. The band climbed through the seven circles of British podunk hell to international rock star success, but the lore of their dark imagery compelled the freaks to flood out of the woodwork and to their shows. Despite composing songs that warned against the evils of the occult, Black Sabbath attracted legions of devil worshippers, occultists and 1970s freak-flag-flying practitioners of the dark arts. Kids went mad for their metal. Critics hated it. And much to the band's dismay, Satanists found their battle cry in the heavy gloom that Black Sabbath had awakened.

I sit down Dan'l Anselmo who is an expert in Bow Design & DIY hunting. He is a lead R&D engineer for 21 yrs and has seen some of the best evolutions in archery gear. He's been part of projects specializing in Limbs, Cams, Risers and materials. Dan'l is a 3rd generation DIY hunter who has a healthy resume of Big Elk & Massive Mule Deer. I've known Dan'l since his first year at Hoyt and have a tremendous amount of respect for his deep understanding of the mechanics of the compound bow. We jump into subjects that I feel aren't discussed enough about the “why” of certain design characteristics and gear choices. We also jump into some of his tactics of hunting the west during the opening weeks. He has some great information that he shares about tagging big deer that's handed down to him from the yoda Randy Ulmer.
