Free article to learn more: Understanding the Differences: Conventional Medical Care, Functional Medicine, and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic CareDr. Tony Ebel explores the three main approaches to children's healthcare: conventional medicine, functional medicine, and neurologically focused chiropractic care. Dr. Ebel explains why he believes that while each approach has its place, neurologically focused chiropractic care addresses the deepest root causes of many chronic childhood conditions by targeting nervous system dysfunction. Drawing from nearly two decades of clinical experience, he discusses how modern healthcare approaches still miss foundational issues and why addressing nervous system dysregulation can be the missing piece many families are searching for.[00:00:00] Introduction to Three Healthcare ApproachesOverview of conventional medicine, functional medicine, and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic CareDr. Ebel introduces the concept that root causes go deeper than genetics and gut health[00:03:00] Limitations of Conventional MedicineCritique of conventional pediatric care's approach to chronic illnessThe specialist "merry-go-round" many families experience without finding answersHow the conventional medical system correlates with increasing rates of chronic illness[00:05:00] The Value and Limitations of Functional MedicineFunctional medicine's systems-based approach examining gut health, microbiome, and immune functionBenefits of diet changes, detoxes, and supplementsWhy even with extensive natural protocols, children may still struggle with chronic conditions[00:08:00] The Nervous System as the Master ControllerHow the nervous system controls all other systemsConnection between nervous system dysfunction and common conditions (autism, ADHD, sensory issues)The "perfect storm concept" explaining how early stressors affect nervous system development[00:11:00] Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care DifferentiatorsThe three unique aspects: deeper questioning, neurological INSiGHT scans, and personalized care plansHow subluxation and nervous system dysregulation can only be addressed through chiropractic careFinding the missing link when other approaches haven't fully resolved health issues[00:13:00] Integrating All Approaches for Optimal Health-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

For Sara Freeman Smith, losing 95% of her vision wasn't the end of her story—it was the beginning of something much greater.In this profound conversation, Sara shares her remarkable journey as a disability advocate, career navigator, and author of "Turning Stones Into Gems: Learn How to Find Purpose in Your Life and Career." With warmth and wisdom, she reveals how her greatest challenge became her greatest gift, teaching her the power of asking for help and the patience to receive divine guidance."God does not call the equipped; He equips the called," Sara explains, describing how her initial resistance transformed into acceptance and eventually purpose.

For employers wondering about accommodations, Sara offers practical insights on creating accessible environments and understanding that simple adjustments make all the difference.Perhaps most powerful is Sara's approach to disclosure and self-advocacy in professional settings.

This excerpt from a sermon explores the problem of evil as presented in Genesis chapter 3. The speaker identifies the serpent in the Garden of Eden as a representation of evil and addresses the difficult question of the origin of evil and the serpent's presence in a perfect creation. Drawing on other biblical texts, specifically Revelation, Ezekiel, and Isaiah, the sermon identifies the serpent with Satan, a fallen angel who rebelled against God out of pride. While acknowledging the limitations of human understanding regarding God's allowance of evil, the sermon emphasizes the limitations of Satan's power, which is ultimately subject to God's sovereignty. The core message is that despite the reality of evil, Jesus Christ has overcome the world and offers freedom from the tyranny of the evil one for those who believe in him.

If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to balance patient care while navigating all the buzz about AI in dentistry, you're not alone. But today's episode will help clear the confusion and show you how to use AI to your advantage—starting now. To break it down, I've invited Conner Ludlow, founder of Annie, an AI platform that builds virtual front desk assistants for dental practices. With a background as a software engineer and tech leader, Conner knows exactly where AI is truly helpful—and where the hype gets a little too loud. In this episode, we explore the real-world uses of AI for dentists today (without needing expensive software), what "AI hallucinations" mean for your practice, and how tools like Annie can stretch your operational dollars without replacing your team. It's a must-listen if you want practical strategies to make technology work for you—not against you. AI is a tool, not a silver bullet: It can boost efficiency but still needs human oversight to represent your practice properly. Real-world wins with AI: Practices can save time with AI-generated blogs, better market research, and virtual front desk agents like Annie. Customization is key: The most successful use of AI in a dental office feels personalized—not robotic—thanks to intentional setup and continuous fine-tuning. — Soundbites "Our goal is not to replace humans, but to help offices stretch their operational dollars and make sure that they have backup and help to never miss opportunities and make sure that they're capturing all of their revenue potential."– Conner Ludlow "AI is really just a new tool that can help practices and business owners and everybody be more effective in their job."– Conner Ludlow "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect of the technology in the long run."— Conner Ludlow "Annie is not here to replace a full-time employee—it's a helper. When you bring it into your office, make sure your front desk team knows it's there to make their job easier, not replace them. It's about simplifying their work, not taking it away."-Dr. Len Tau — Keywords: dental AI, dental marketing, front desk automation, dental practice growth, artificial intelligence in dentistry, dental staffing solutions, AI for dentists, AI overhype, Annie AI, dental office management, chatbot dentistry, ChatGPT dental uses — Key Takeaways 01:40 Introduction to AI in Dentistry 04:04 Understanding AI: Hype vs. Reality 07:03 Practical Applications of AI in Dental Practices 09:13 The Role of AI in Marketing and Content Creation 13:20 AI's Limitations and Challenges 17:04 The Future of AI in Dentistry 23:50 Annie: The AI Assistant for Dental Practices 31:06 Conclusion and Call to Action — Connect with Conner Want to learn more about how Annie can help your dental practice thrive with AI? ✅ Visit helloannie.com to schedule a demo. ✅ Mention you heard about Annie on the Raving Patients Podcast to get an exclusive discount — half off your setup fee plus savings on your monthly dues! ✅ Explore Annie's AI tools and see how you can streamline your front desk without replacing your valuable team.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these remedies for both academic analysis and practical application in resolving contractual disputes.TakeawaysUnderstanding remedies is essential for practical application.Expectation damages aim to place the non-breaching party in the position they would have occupied.Consequential damages must be foreseeable and communicated during contract formation.The injured party has a duty to mitigate damages.Specific performance is available when legal damages are inadequate.Restitution prevents unjust enrichment and measures the value of benefits conferred.Liquidated damages clauses are enforceable if they are a reasonable estimate of likely loss.Limitations on recovery can arise from contract terms and procedural doctrines.The landscape of contract remedies balances fairness and economic efficiency.Mastery of remedies informs how we enforce, draft, negotiate, and litigate contracts.contract law, remedies, damages, expectation damages, equitable relief, mitigation, restitution, quasi-contract, liquidated damages, breach of contract
A few days before Valentine's Day, Aaron realizes he still hasn't found a gift for his wife. Not for lack of effort—he's been looking. But what she wants is oddly specific: a concrete lawn goose. What follows is a story about love, small towns, gift anxiety, and what it means to really try—even if you're probably going to fail.

What does freedom look like when you navigate the world on wheels? For Jenna Udenberg, it arrived in the form of a Firefly - an electric attachment that transformed her manual wheelchair into an adventure vehicle capable of tackling trails she'd only viewed longingly from afar.Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at age seven and using a wheelchair by eight, Jenna refused to let her mobility challenges define her life's boundaries. From becoming a left-handed trumpet player (despite being told it wasn't possible) to creating adaptive music programs that helped non-verbal students find their voice, her journey exemplifies resilience and creative problem-solving.The pandemic marked a turning point when Jenna left her 19-year teaching career and discovered a new calling as a disability advocate. Through her nonprofit "Above and Beyond With U," she champions the philosophy that true accessibility transcends mere ADA compliance checklists. As she powerfully states, "Nothing for us without us" - accessibility planning must include disabled voices from the very beginning.Our conversation explores how Jenna discovered newfound independence on Minnesota's state park trails, the transformative power of community support, and why her autobiography is titled "Within My Spokes." You'll gain fresh perspective on what adventure truly means and how accessibility benefits everyone.Whether you're disabled, know someone who is, or simply care about creating a more inclusive world, Jenna's insights will change how you think about accessibility in outdoor spaces.

limitation Denying Faith #RTTBROS #NightlightFaith That Defies Limitations #Nightlight #RTTBROS Faith That Defies Limitations"Then said Jonathan, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few." - 1 Samuel 14:6 (KJV)Jonathan found himself in a seemingly impossible situation. The Philistines had established a formidable garrison, and the Israelite forces were vastly outnumbered and poorly equipped. King Saul, Jonathan's father, was hesitant and uncertain. But Jonathan saw beyond the physical limitations to the unlimited power of God."There is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few." These words reveal the heart of true faith—a recognition that God's ability to work is not constrained by human limitations. Jonathan understood that victory doesn't depend on the size of the army but on the size of our God.How often do we find ourselves looking at obstacles rather than opportunities? We count our resources, measure our abilities, and conclude that certain challenges are simply beyond us. We forget that the God we serve specializes in doing the impossible through those willing to step out in faith.Jonathan didn't say, "The LORD will definitely work for us." He said, "It may be that the LORD will work for us." This wasn't doubt but humble dependence. Jonathan recognized God's sovereignty while still being willing to act. His faith wasn't presumption; it was courageous obedience with an open hand.The results were remarkable. With just his armor-bearer by his side, Jonathan launched an attack that triggered a chain reaction, resulting in a great victory for Israel. What appeared to be a foolish risk became a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness.Where in your life do you need to declare, "There is no restraint to the LORD"? What impossible situation are you facing that requires Jonathan-like faith? Remember, God is not limited by your limitations. He delights in showing His strength through our weakness.Let us be people who, like Jonathan, are willing to step out in faith, recognizing that our God is not constrained by numbers, resources, or human impossibilities. May we have the courage to say, "Come, and let us go," trusting not in our own strength but in the unlimited power of our God.#FaithOverFear #NoRestraintToGod #VictoryInJesus Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Mark Kargela, a seasoned clinician and educator, about chronic pain—its complexity, its impact, and how practitioners can better support patients struggling with it. The discussion focuses on shifting clinical approaches from tissue-centric models to ones that integrate contemporary neuroscience and lived experience. Key topics include: Understanding Chronic Pain: The conversation defines chronic pain not simply by duration (e.g., beyond three months), but as a biopsychosocial phenomenon that fundamentally changes the nervous system. Dr. Kargela emphasizes that chronic pain is often not a direct marker of tissue damage, but a protective output of the nervous system influenced by biology, psychology, and social factors. Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE): Both clinicians stress the importance of PNE in helping patients reframe their pain experience. Teaching people how pain works can reduce fear and catastrophizing, improve self-efficacy, and set the foundation for graded movement and recovery. Central Sensitization and Nervous System Dysregulation: The discussion highlights how sensitized neural pathways can perpetuate pain even in the absence of tissue pathology. Techniques that modulate the nervous system—such as breathing, sleep optimization, gentle movement, and mindfulness—are presented as key therapeutic tools. Limitations of Traditional Biomedical Models: Dr. Kargela critiques overly mechanical approaches that chase tissue “damage” or perfect biomechanics, advocating instead for approaches that validate patient experiences and support behavior change. Clinician Takeaways: The episode encourages health and fitness professionals to: Ask better questions that uncover contributors to a person's pain narrative. Shift from “fixing” people to coaching them toward resilience. Recognize that empathy, listening, and patient-led goals are central to helping people move forward.

You might love the look and sound of your flame-tune, but is it killing your catalytic converter (CAT)?In this interview, Matt Latino from G-Sport by GESi explains the limitations of factory catalytic converters and why performance builds often require something more capable.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inG-Sport's aftermarket catalytic converters are EPA-compliant, stainless steel, and designed for high horsepower, but they're not indestructible. Matt dives into the real-world causes of CAT failures, including improper sizing, rich tuning, and aggressive launch control or anti-lag strategies. Burble, flame, and pop tunes might be fun, but they push unburnt fuel through your exhaust and straight into your catalytic converter — which can result in thermal overload or even complete failure.Like tyres on a track day, pushing your CATS too far too often will shorten their lifespan dramatically. Matt shares practical advice on how to make power in a street car while keeping your CAT alive, and what makes GESi's designs different from cheaper OEM-style ceramic core converters.Many exhaust specialists already include the likes of G-Sport CATS in their complete systems, so it's possible you might even have one and be benefiting from the performance gains.------------------------------------TIME STAMPS:0:00 - G-Sport by GESi0:22 - Limitation of Factory Catalytic Converter0:53 - Exhaust Backpressure1:06 - Aftermarket Options2:10 - Aftermarket Vs OEM Construction2:29- Why OEMs Use Ceramic2:39 - Stainless Steel Construction2:50 - Not Bulletproof3:20 - Tuning Mistakes4:00 - Everything In Moderation4:45 - Tyre Analogy5:00 - Thanks Matt!5:30 - BUILD.TUNE.DRIVE

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9You don't have to study Scripture long to realize that God's wisdom differs sharply from what the world considers wise. John Cortines joins us today to talk about the nature of wisdom, and spoiler alert— it's a Person, not a thing.John Cortines is the Director of Grantmaking at The Maclellan Foundation. He is the author of our new study on the book of Ecclesiastes, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, as well as the co-author of God and Money: How We Discovered True Riches at Harvard Business School and True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart.The True Nature of WisdomIn our modern world, we often equate wisdom with knowledge, education, and the ability to make good decisions. While these aspects are certainly part of it, Ecclesiastes teaches us that wisdom is far more than intellectual mastery or a collection of best practices. In fact, wisdom is not just a set of principles—it is a person. That person is Jesus Christ.Throughout Ecclesiastes, the Preacher (likely King Solomon) wrestles with the big questions of life: What is our purpose? Where can we find joy? How should we handle money? The book explores the various paths people take—seeking pleasure, accumulation, and status—but ultimately concludes that all these pursuits are vanity, or "chasing after the wind."The key takeaway? True wisdom is found in fearing God and keeping His commandments. But it's not merely about following rules—it's about cultivating a relationship with God through Christ.Ecclesiastes isn't just a book about the limitations of human wisdom; it points us to the deeper truth that wisdom is found in a relationship with God. Near the end of Ecclesiastes, we read that "the words of the wise are like goads," and these words come from "one shepherd."Interestingly, this shepherd's identity is made clear in the New Testament, where Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd in the Gospel of John. Not only does Jesus impart wisdom, but He is wisdom. In Colossians, we learn that Jesus is the one who orders and sustains all things—He embodies wisdom.Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:30 that Jesus became "to us wisdom from God, righteousness, and sanctification." This concept shifts our understanding of wisdom from a set of teachings to a relationship with a person.Ecclesiastes and the Limitations of Human WisdomEcclesiastes acknowledges the limits of human wisdom. Even Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, struggled to make sense of life's paradoxes. He sought knowledge, but it never gave him lasting meaning. In fact, knowledge alone cannot answer the deeper questions of life, such as suffering, uncertainty, or death.True wisdom isn't found in education or achievement; it's received from outside ourselves. Proverbs 9:10 states, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," and in the knowledge of the Holy One, there is insight. True wisdom is about trusting in Christ, who alone leads us into all truth and understanding.Walking in Wisdom with ChristIf wisdom is a person, the way to grow in wisdom is to walk closely with Jesus. John offers some practical ways to deepen our relationship with Christ and grow in wisdom:Spend time in God's Word: Not just for information but to encounter Christ and be transformed.Pray and seek His guidance: God promises to give wisdom to those who ask for it.Live in obedience: Wisdom isn't just knowing what is right; it's living it out.Surround yourself with wise counsel: Engage with fellow believers who are also walking with Christ.Trust God in times of uncertainty: Lean on Christ in suffering and hardship.Develop a heart of gratitude: Recognize and enjoy the simple gifts God gives us each day.These steps, though simple, shape our lives and our relationship with God. They allow us to grow in wisdom and understanding as we live in step with Christ.The Connection Between Wisdom and FinancesOne area where wisdom plays a critical role is in our financial lives. The way we handle money is closely tied to our spiritual journey, and the book of Ecclesiastes speaks directly to this. Money is often viewed in our culture as a means of fulfillment, but Ecclesiastes teaches us that wealth is a tool, not our source of meaning.In Ecclesiastes 11, we are reminded of the importance of generosity: "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." Giving reflects God's nature and His wisdom, and it produces Kingdom fruit. Generosity is a key part of living for Him.Ecclesiastes teaches us to appreciate the simple gifts God provides, while also reminding us that money and possessions are fleeting. As we apply the wisdom of Christ to our finances, we see the balance between frugality, generosity, and enjoying the blessings God has given us.The Ultimate Wisdom: JesusAt the heart of Ecclesiastes—and of all Scripture—is the call to fear God and keep His commandments. In the New Testament, we understand that this means following Jesus Christ, who is wisdom incarnate. Our pursuit of wisdom isn't about accumulating knowledge or living by a set of moral principles. It's about knowing Jesus personally and living in relationship with Him.If you're seeking wisdom, the answer is not found in more knowledge or better strategies—it's found in Jesus Christ. As we follow Him, we grow in wisdom, and our understanding of life's challenges—including money and possessions—becomes clearer. Wisdom is a person, and that person is Jesus.For those interested in diving deeper into the book of Ecclesiastes, our new study, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, offers a comprehensive exploration of this biblical text and its profound teachings on money, work, and contentment.
