In this episode of Retire with Style, Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore key retirement planning strategies, including how couples can optimize Social Security benefits, what to do with surplus funds from bond ladders, and the potential benefits of purchasing single premium immediate annuities (SPIAs) from Roth IRAs. They highlight the importance of maintaining flexibility and tailoring strategies to each retiree's unique circumstances.   Takeaways Delaying social security can benefit the higher earner in a couple. The low earner has flexibility in claiming social security earlier. Using software can help determine optimal social security claiming strategies. Survivorship benefits are crucial in social security planning. Bond ladders are used for retirement income, not just reinvestment. Surplus funds from bond ladders can be invested in growth portfolios. Roth IRAs can be beneficial for purchasing SPIAs. SPIAs can provide tax-free income streams in retirement. Tax diversification is important in retirement planning. Real-life financial planning requires flexibility beyond strict rules.

Episode 194: Acute low back pain.  Future Dr. Ibrahim presents a clinical case to explain the essential points in the evaluation of back pain.  Future Dr. Redden adds information about differentiating between a back strain and more serious diseases such as cancer, and Dr. Arreaza shares information about returning to work after back strain.Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV. Editing and comments by Jordan Redden, MSIV, and 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.Dr. Arreaza:Welcome back, everyone. Today's topic is one that every primary care provider, emergency doctor, and even specialist sees routinely: low back pain. It's so common that studies estimate up to 80% of adults will experience it at some point in their lives. But despite how frequent it is, the challenge is to identify which cases are benign and which demand urgent attention.Jordan:Exactly. Low back pain is usually self-limiting and mechanical in nature, but we always need to keep an eye out for the rare but serious causes: things like infection, malignancy, or neurological compromise. That's why a good history and physical exam are our best tools right out of the gate.Michael:And to ground this in a real example, let me introduce a patient we saw recently. John is a 45-year-old warehouse worker who came in with two weeks of lower back pain that started after lifting a 50-lb box. He describes it as a dull, aching pain that radiates from his lower back down the posterior left thigh into the calf. He says it gets worse with bending or coughing, but he feels better when lying flat. He also mentioned some numbness in his left foot, but he denies any bowel or bladder issues. His vitals are completely normal. On exam, he had lumbar paraspinal tenderness, a positive straight leg-raise at 40 degrees on the left and decreased sensation in the L5 dermatome, though reflexes were still intact.Dr. Arreaza:That's a great case. Let's take a minute and talk about the straight leg raise test. This is a bedside tool we use to assess for lumbar nerve root irritation often caused by a herniated disc. ***Here's how it works: the patient lies supine, and you slowly raise their straight leg. If pain radiates below the knee between 30° and 70°, that suggests radiculopathy, especially involving the L5 or S1 nerve roots. Pain at higher angles is more likely due to hamstring tightness or mechanical strain.Michael:Right. So, stepping back: what do we mean by "low back pain"? Broadly, it's any pain localized to the lumbar spine, but it's often classified by type or cause:Mechanical (like muscle strain or degenerative disc disease), Radicular (nerve root involvement), Referred pain (like from pelvic or abdominal organs), Inflammatory (AS), and Systemic or serious causes like infection or malignancy. Jordan:In John's case, we're thinking radicular pain, most likely from a herniated disc compressing the L5 nerve root. That's supported by the dermatomal numbness, the leg pain, and that positive straight leg test.Dr. Arreaza:Good reasoning. Now, anytime we see back pain, our brains should run a checklist for red flags. These help us pick up more serious causes that require urgent attention. Let's run through the red flags.Michael:Sure. For fracture, we think about major trauma or even minor trauma in the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis or on chronic steroids. Also, anyone over 70 years old.Jordan:Then we have infections, which could include things like discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, or epidural abscess. Red flags include fever, IV drug use, recent surgery, or immunosuppression.Michael:Malignancy is another critical one, especially if there's a history of breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or thyroid cancer. Clues include unexplained weight loss, night pain, or constant pain not relieved by rest.Jordan:And don't forget about inflammatory back pain, like ankylosing spondylitis, which is often seen in younger patients with morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes and improves with activity.Dr. Arreaza:And of course, we always rule out cauda equina syndrome: a surgical emergency. That's urinary retention or incontinence, saddle anesthesia, bilateral leg weakness, or fecal incontinence. Missing this diagnosis can be catastrophic.Michael:Thankfully, in John's case, we don't see any red flags. His presentation is classic for uncomplicated lumbar radiculopathy. But we must stay vigilant, because sometimes patients don't offer up key symptoms unless we ask directly.Jordan:And that's where associated symptoms help guide us. For example:Radicular symptoms like numbness or weakness follow dermatomal patterns. Constitutional symptoms like fever or weight loss raise red flags. Bladder/bowel changes or saddle anesthesia raise alarms for cauda equina. Pain that wakes patients up at night might point to malignancy. Dr. Arreaza:So when do we order labs or imaging?Michael:Not right away. For most patients with acute low back pain, imaging is not needed unless they have red flags. If infection is suspected, we'd get CBC, ESR, and CRP. For cancer, maybe PSA or serum protein electrophoresis. And if inflammatory back disease is suspected, HLA-B27 can be helpful.Jordan:Yes, imaging should be delayed for at least six weeks unless red flags or significant neurologic deficits are present. When we do image, MRI is our go-to especially for suspected radiculopathy or cauda equina. X-rays can help if we're thinking about fractures, but they won't show soft tissue or nerve root issues.Michael:In the example from our case, since the patient doesn't have red flags, we'd go with conservative management: start NSAIDs and recommend activity modification. As this is the acute setting, physical therapy would not be recommended.Jordan:For the acute phase, research shows no serious difference between those with PT and those without in the long term. However, physical therapy is really the cornerstone of management for chronic back pain. It's not just movement: it's education, body mechanics, and teaching patients how to move safely. And PT can actually reduce opioid use, imaging, and injections down the line for patient struggling with long term back pain.Dr. Arreaza:Yes, and PT is not one-size-fits-all. PT might include McKenzie exercises, manual therapy, postural retraining, or even neuromuscular re-education. The goal is always to build core stability, promote healthy movement patterns, and reduce fear of motion.Jordan:Let's take a minute to talk about the McKenzie Method, a physical therapy approach used to treat lumbar disc herniation by identifying a specific movement, (often spinal extension) that reduces or centralizes pain. A common exercise is the prone press-up, (cobra pose for yoga fans) where the patient lies face down and pushes the upper body upward while keeping the hips on the floor to relieve pressure on the disc. These exercises should be done carefully, ideally under professional guidance, and discontinued if symptoms worsen.Michael:For our case patient, our working diagnosis is mechanical low back pain with L5 radiculopathy. No imaging needed now, no red flags. We'll treat conservatively and educate him about proper lifting, staying active, and recovery expectations.Jordan:We also emphasized to him that bed rest isn't helpful. In fact, bed rest can make things worse. Keeping active while avoiding heavy lifting for now is key.Dr. Arreaza:Return-to-work recommendations should be individualized. For example, an office worker, positioning while working, or work hours may be able to return to work promptly. However, those with physically demanding jobs may need light duty or be off work.Ice: no evidence of benefit. Heat: may reduce pain and disability in pain of less than 3 months, although the benefit was small and short.And we should always teach safe lifting techniques: bend at the knees, keep the load close, avoid twisting. It's basic knowledge, but it is very effective in preventing recurrence.Jordan:Now, if a patient fails to improve after 6 weeks of conservative therapy, or if they develop new neurologic deficits, that's when we think about referral to spine specialists or surgical consultation.Michael:And as previously mentioned: in cases where back pain becomes chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks) a multidisciplinary approach works best. That can include:Physical therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) And sometimes pain management interventions. Jordan:We can't forget the psychological toll either. Chronic back pain is associated with depression, anxiety, and opioid dependence. Increased risk factors include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and previous back injuries.Dr. Arreaza:Well said. So, let's summarize. Michael?Michael:Sure! Low back pain is common, and most cases are benign. But we have to know the red flags that point to serious pathology. A focused history and physical exam are more powerful than many people realize. And the first step in treatment is almost always conservative, with a strong emphasis on maintaining physical activity.Jordan:And don't underestimate the value of patient education. Helping patients understand their pain, set realistic expectations, and stay active is often just as important as the medications or therapies we offer.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

One of the most common and easily recognized images in trucking and other freight-moving industries is the shipping container. But how did it come to be? For many years, one name has come up – that of Malcolm McLean, credited in numerous places as the inventor. However, the real story, as is so often the case, is a little more complex. We explore McLean's story and his role in history. 0:00 – Newscast 10:12 – Trucker's ingenuity brings us the shipping containers we have today

A little while back, I got to chatting with Lee McLean. At the time, I'd just released a conversation about the things I turn to when the world feels hard or tense, and we were discussing how the lessons we learn with horses often translate into everyday life. I found the conversation so engaging that I asked her to come on the podcast so we could share our thoughts with all of you. For those who don't know Lee, she's a passionate horsewoman who “talks, thinks, and dreams horses non-stop.” Many of you may know her through her business and writings, much of which she shares on her Facebook page, Keystone Equine. During our time together, we talk about: The lessons we've learned from our horses and how they support us in navigating daily life The nature of self-care (and our struggles with it) How we handle criticism Staying sane in the online world It was such a pleasure to spend time with Lee- I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. You can find Lee on her Facebook page here. xx Jane  ------ Jane Pike is a coach & horsewoman from the South Island of New Zealand.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia explore alternative investments with a focus on natural resources, commodities, and catastrophe bonds. They break down the strategies and risks behind these asset classes and examine how they can fit into a diversified retirement portfolio. The conversation offers insights into the potential advantages and challenges of these investments for retirement planning.   Takeaways Natural resources include timberland, farmland, and water rights. Commodities can serve as an inflation hedge but are volatile. Catastrophe bonds transfer natural disaster risk to investors. Investing in companies that use commodities may be more beneficial. The correlation of commodities to equities is generally low. Catastrophe bonds can provide uncorrelated returns to the market. Investors should consider the expected return for each asset class. Due diligence is essential when exploring alternative investments. Infrastructure investments can offer stable returns through usage fees. The role of portfolio managers is to expose investors to asset classes with favorable risk-return profiles.

Clare walks with Reverend Maggie McLean today on a stretch of the Camino de Santiago, the world famous pilgrimage route that concludes at Santiago de Compostela's glorious Cathedral in northern Spain. The Camino can be completed in numerous ways, with one of the most popular routes being the French Way otherwise known as the Francés. It begins in the French town of St. Jean Pied de Port and ends 790km/490miles later in Santiago. Maggie is trekking part of this route and Clare joins her at Triacastela to hear her story as they make their way to the Benedictine Monastery at Samos, which is about 150km from Santiago itself. Maggie is a lifelong keen walker, and was one of the first women to be ordained in the Church of England. She works as a Canon at York Minster, and would like to see some kind of pilgrimage established there, so her time on the Camino is not just a spiritual journey, it's also a way of conducting some research. On their walk she tells Clare about her life and journey in faith, including working in homeless centres, probation hostels and a seafarers' mission in Australia. En route Clare and Maggie bumped into Arthur, a pilgrim who has spent several weeks every year for seven years on the Camino, which he started by walking out of his front door in Switzerland. Despite suffering cancer three times, and having one quarter of a lung removed, he still carries a 10kg backpack and never plans where he's going to stay overnight.Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH AND TRUMP'S TRIUMPH: AMERICA'S GREATEST COMEBACK #1 New York Times bestselling author Newt Gingrich takes readers inside the most significant political comeback in American history and explains where the Trump movement goes from here.Despite a nine-year effort to destroy him, President Donald J. Trump succeeded in a historic comeback victory in the 2024 presidential election. This was Trump's Triumph. Winning the popular and electoral votes, President Trump became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. This all happened because President Trump was never a typical political candidate. He is the leader of a movement, which he recognized in the American people. To be clear: President Trump did not invent the Make America Great Again movement, he intuited it.Meanwhile, elites in media, academia, government, and politics learned a big lesson: Americans no longer trust them. President Trump assembled a massive coalition of Americans from all backgrounds who were tired of being told what to do, say, and believe. He made historic in-roads with voter groups which have not traditionally voted for Republicans. President Trump survived court cases, impeachments, outright lies - and two assassination attempts. All the while, the elites described a future which every day Americans did not want. The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris (and later Harris-Tim Walz) tickets represented three failures through which the American people were actively suffering: high inflation, a full-blown immigration crisis, and a prevailing elite ideology which they found at best confusing and at worst insane. Trump's Triumph puts all this into context, explains how President Trump overcame it all, and describes the future of the Make America Great Again movement. ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH Speaker Newt Gingrich is Chairman of Gingrich 360, a multimedia production and consulting company based in Arlington, Virginia. As former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Gingrich is well known as the architect of the "Contract with America" that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994, creating the first conservative majority in the House in 40 years. He was a Republican candidate for President of the United States in 2012. Gingrich is a Fox News contributor, podcast host (Newt's World), and syndicated columnist. He is the author of 43 books, including 18 fiction and nonfiction New York Times bestsellers. His latest books include Defeating Big Government Socialism and March to the Majority.Gingrich and his wife, Ambassador Callista L. Gingrich, host and produce historical and public policy documentaries. Recent films include "Journey to America," "The First American," and "Divine Mercy: The Canonization of John Paul II." Recognized internationally as an expert on world history, military issues, and international affairs, Newt Gingrich is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals. He also teaches officers from all six services as a Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University. In addition, Newt Gingrich served as a Member of the Defense Policy Board. He was a member of the Terrorism Task Force for the Council on Foreign Relations, and he co-chaired the Task Force on United Nations Reform, a bipartisan congressional effort to modernize and improve the United Nations. The Gingrich's reside in McLean, Virginia and Naples, Florida, and have two daughters and two grandchildren. Link to his podcast Newt's World: Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-newts-world-30589442/  Get the book: https://a.co/d/ekeOlAgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia explore the world of alternative investments, with a focus on private equity and private credit. They discuss what it means to be an accredited investor, the different types of private equity investments, and the typical life cycle and structure of private equity funds—including the roles of general and limited partners. The conversation also covers key risks, such as liquidity constraints and valuation challenges, and explains how private investments can fit into a broader retirement income strategy. Wade and Alex highlight the growing accessibility of these investments for retail investors, the rise of private credit markets, and the relationship between volatility and expected returns—underscoring the importance of understanding risk when evaluating investment decisions. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways:  Private Equity Private equity involves investing in private companies rather than publicly traded stocks. The main types of private equity are venture capital, growth equity, and buyouts. These funds typically follow a seven- to eight-year life cycle and are structured with general partners (who manage the fund) and limited partners (who provide capital). Carried interest is a key component of compensation for general partners. Liquidity is a major concern—investments are often locked up for long periods. Valuing private companies is often opaque and can mislead investors. In venture capital, most returns come from a small number of successful investments. Private equity can provide diversification benefits in a broader portfolio. Private Credit Private credit focuses on lending, often to individuals or private firms, and is distinct from private equity. These investments are gaining popularity, driven by institutional demand and the search for yield. Platforms like iCapital are increasing access for individual investors. Private credit can offer higher yields than traditional fixed income but also comes with unique risks. Investment Strategy and Risk Alternative investments are growing in popularity, especially among individual investors. Risk and return must be evaluated together—volatility alone does not guarantee higher returns. Effective portfolio construction requires understanding how different asset classes interact. Investors should avoid diversifying blindly and instead understand the specific risks of each investment.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Alternative Investments 04:25 Understanding Private Equity 10:27 Types of Private Equity Investments 18:52 The Private Equity Life Cycle 26:36 Structure and Function of Private Equity Funds 28:08 Risks and Considerations in Private Equity 29:15 The Illusion of Valuations 31:43 Democratization of Investment Access 32:12 Understanding Private Credit 35:33 The Growth of Private Credit Markets 41:03 Integrating Private Credit into Portfolios 45:17 Volatility and Expected Returns   Links Curious about alternative investments but not sure where to start?
