In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS talks to Christian Leonakis, PT, DPT, Alanna Wathen, PT, DPT, and Danielle Parmenter, MOT, OTR/L, SCLV about Myomo and the MyoPro upper extremity myoelectric orthosis.  The world of neurological rehabilitation, innovation continues to push the boundaries of what's possible for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions. Enter Myomo, a groundbreaking myoelectric orthosis that's changing lives one arm movement at a time. This isn't just another medical device—it's a personalized technology that acts like a "helping hand" for individuals struggling with upper extremity mobility. Weighing approximately three and a half pounds, the Myomo device uses advanced EMG sensors to amplify even the smallest voluntary muscle contractions, allowing patients to regain functional movement. What sets Myomo apart is its commitment to patient-centered care. The device isn't a one-size-fits-all solution but a custom-fitted orthosis that patients take home after approximately 10 weeks of specialized training. Designed to look almost like something out of a sci-fi movie—think Iron Man's arm technology—the device comes in customizable colors and helps patients perform everyday tasks like opening doors, carrying groceries, or even walking their dog. The team behind Myomo, including clinical experts like Christian Leonakis, Alanna Wathen, and Danielle Parmenter, are passionate rehabilitation professionals who understand that recovery is a complex journey. They emphasize that while the device can be transformative, patients need realistic expectations: some might see compensatory improvements, while rare cases might experience significant neurological recovery. With Medicare coverage now available and ongoing technological developments promised for 2026, Myomo represents more than just a medical device—it's a beacon of hope for those seeking to reclaim independence and functionality after neurological challenges. For clinicians and patients interested in learning more, Myomo's website offers comprehensive resources and screening processes to determine individual suitability for this innovative technology. https://myomo.com/ LinkedIn.com/in/alanna-wathen linkedin.com/in/danielle-parmenter

We talk with hundreds of individuals and families every year, and many of the questions they ask come back to one core concern. Can my retirement plan really survive the messy, unpredictable situations that happen in real life. Instead of only looking at straight line projections or average returns, Chad and Allison walk through how to "stress test" your plan with real world what if scenarios so you can build confidence before a crisis hits.  In this episode, you will hear three of the biggest what if questions clients have been asking over the past year. What happens if there is a major market crash right as you retire? What if you retire earlier than expected, either by choice or by force? What if there is a major health shock for you or your spouse? Rather than focusing on doom and gloom, the goal is to rehearse these situations on paper so that when life happens, you already have a plan for how to respond. We also share a simple three-step framework you can use to run your own retirement stress test at home. You will learn how to identify the what-ifs that matter most to you, estimate their impact on your spending and timeline, and choose proactive moves that make your plan more resilient. Along the way, they discuss sequence of returns risk, health insurance bridges before Medicare, using taxable brokerage accounts strategically, and how to think about funding future healthcare needs without overpaying for insurance you may not need. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Retirement stress testing. [04:50] Key questions to ask about a 25 to 50 percent portfolio decline, spending flexibility, and your safety bucket. [09:20] Transition to scenario two, early retirement before age 65 and why health insurance is such a critical factor. [13:30] Cash in the bank versus long term growth. [17:20] Healthcare shocks and long term care needs that can show up later in retirement. [21:00] How HSAs, disability insurance, and understanding your deductibles and out of pocket maximums fit into the picture. ***********

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we break down some of the most eyebrow-raising headlines from across the scene: Macky opens with a strange one from the skies. Two complete strangers from Birmingham arrested and jailed for the exact same offence on a Thailand flight. He also digs into a new WBUR study claiming there are “few medical benefits” for pain, anxiety, or insomnia.  Billy brings updates from Austria, where CBD flower rules are shifting yet again. These changes could shake up the whole European marketplace, and we break down what it means for consumers and small producers. Margaret covers a mysterious vomiting condition that's just been given an official WHO code after a spike in ER cases. A reminder that regulators and researchers are still scrambling to understand a condition many people have been talking about for years. John wraps things up with a major policy move in the US: a federal health agency preparing to allow CBD coverage under Medicare, boosted by a video posted by Donald Trump. If this goes through, it could shift how millions of Americans access plant-based wellness products. Another packed episode full of global updates, policy turns, and research headlines worth reading between the lines.

Medical necessity sits at the intersection of clinical judgment, coverage policy, and payer scrutiny, and in this episode Stuart Newsome, VP of RCM Insights, unpacks what it really means. Joined by Viveka Jagadeesan (Enablement Manager), Lindsey Nelson (Director of Product Marketing), Christina Harkins (Senior Revenue Cycle Manager), and Angie Adams (VP Clinical & Patient Engagement), the group explores Medicare error data, CERT audits, recoupment risk, NCD vs. LCD nuances, and how AI-driven policy intelligence can support medical necessity on both the front and back end of the revenue cycle.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training AI is changing the agency landscape faster than most owners can keep up with. Tools are popping up daily, clients are asking if rates should drop, and your team is either fired up or freaked out. Today's featured guest talks about what it takes to build an agency that thrives in a world obsessed with shiny new tech, where the edge is not more tools. It is better leadership, human connection, and an incubator mindset that keeps them ahead without drowning in the noise. Michael Davern is the CEO of Incept, an AI-enhanced, digital-first agency that has been around for a decade. Today, his agency blends automation, machine learning, and human-centered strategy to help enterprise clients grow with clarity and smart execution. He is an early adopter who still believes the real edge is human connection and wants to encourage agency owners to really think about who should lead. In this episode, we'll discuss: AI-enhanced vs. AI-first: what actually creates agency value. Leading an agency through rapid AI change. Why human-first agencies win in the long run.

Evolving from a Specific Niche to a Full Service Agency Before agency life, Michael spent years in corporate America and even longer in the music industry as an artist development rep. That career went up in flames when the label collapsed and no one got paid. After a brief return to corporate, he approached his now business partner with an idea to sell text message marketing, and suddenly he was an entrepreneur learning the agency game the hard way. Early on he chased small business clients with $49 starter packages and cheesy platinum tiers. Nobody wanted it. The market did not understand text marketing yet and the value was unclear. Everything changed when an enterprise vendor in the Medicare insurance space let them into their workflow. Overnight texting became a revenue driver. That win opened the door to more enterprise relationships and pushed them to expand far beyond their original niche. What started as a simple vendor relationship ballooned into a full service digital agency. With time, growth came from necessity and opportunity, not a master plan. Michael admits they were often too early to the game, but that curiosity and experimentation kept them alive long enough to get good. AI-Enhanced vs. AI-First: What Actually Creates Agency Value Plenty of agencies slap "AI-first" on their website. Michael prefers to say "AI-enhanced" since "AI-first" implies handing the keys to robots or machines. That is not what his agency does. Instead they use AI to enhance execution. They were early with automation, early with machine learning through the IBM Watson test program, and early with programmatic bidding when DSPs were still new. Those experiments shaped how they work today. Now, they use all this knowledge to save money, time, and drive better results for clients. Clients are not paying for prompts or tools. AI lets the team save time, move faster, and stay in the lab testing new options without drowning in busywork. In Michael's view, agencies are not competing on deliverables anymore. They are competing on thinking. Navigating the AI Gold Rush Without Losing Your Mind There is a tool for everything now and most of them promise the world and deliver nothing. Michael believes the real threat is not AI taking jobs. It is crappy tools cluttering decision making and distracting agency owners from what matters. To keep his team sharp, he sets an AI budget for every employee at his agency. Everyone is encouraged to experiment, explore, and bring ideas back to the incubator. On Fridays, they compare notes. What worked. What flopped. What needs more testing. That culture of curiosity is what keeps them out in front rather than scrambling to catch up. Leadership in the Age of Rapid Change Nineteen months ago, Michael made a call. The company was going all in on AI enhancement. He sat the team down and said, "This is where we are heading." If anyone was uncomfortable, they could talk privately or get help transitioning to a different job. Not one person left. Clarity breeds confidence. When owners waffle or delay, their team feels it. When owners point the ship and support the crew, people dig in. Michael's team embraced experimentation because they were given structure, purpose, and room to contribute. And because of that leadership, his agency now runs on flat rate pricing tied to outcomes. They killed the old hourly model and their clients love them for it. Human-First Agencies Always Win the Long Game When was the last time you met in person with any of your top five clients? That's the type of effort they'll remember. Michael's team meets every top client in person at least quarterly. Their average client lifetime is just under seven years, which is unheard of when the industry average is barely over a year. Real relationships create real retention. When you have shared a meal, a drink, and actual time together, you are not just a vendor. You are a partner. And partners do not get replaced by the next AI First agency trying to undercut your price. The real advantage for your agency will be transparency and the ability to provide a personalized service. AI will give you more time to work on strategy, but you still have to offer the best client experience you can. Ultimately, clients are paying for more brain and less execution, "and doesn't everyone want that?" Michael asks. Choosing the Right Clients and Protecting Your Sanity Another theme Michael returns to is knowing when to say no. Early on, every agency chases whales. The bigger the better. Then you land one and realize it might sink the whole boat. Maturity is learning to pass on the wrong fish or hand them off to someone who is better built for it. Agencies do not need hundreds of clients. They need the right fraction of the market that values what they do. When you protect your focus, your retention goes up and your stress goes down. Michael's agency grows steadily because they stack clients instead of scrambling to replace them. The only clients they lose are the ones who stop paying their bills. Building a Culture of Innovation Without Burning Out Agencies talk a big game about innovation, but most owners are stuck riding a bike with square wheels and they refuse to get off, Michael says. This is the trap most agency owners fall into. They are too busy to innovate, too stuck to delegate, and too overwhelmed to lead. For him, the answer is simple. Get off the bike. Set the direction, and build the space for experimentation, because the future is coming whether you want it or not. Who Should Lead AI Inside an Agency Who should lead experimentation when the owner is overwhelmed? Michael believes someone has to claim the role, plant a stake, and move. At his agency, he oversees the incubator, but several team members drive the work. Your lead developer will experiment with different tools than your creative director. Your strategist will explore different workflows than your media buyer. Give them a budget. Give them a purpose. Give them ownership. The biggest mistake is waiting for someone else to figure it out. Agencies that delay will be crushed by owners who are willing to get to work and figure this technology out. Follow your curiosity. For agency owners stepping into that role, Michael suggests absorbing everything you can and staying curious. And for those who are further down in the ladder but still want to lead experimentation with new technologies: speak up and volunteer. If you're in a culture where that experimentation is not embraced, then maybe it's time to leave. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Send us a textIn this episode, Tom, a cannabis industry lawyer, discusses a new loophole in the federal meaning of hemp resulting from the latest legislative process during a government shutdown. He explores how Congress's attempt to address intoxicating hemp might have created unexpected outcomes for the cannabis industry, particularly with the current us politics landscape. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges and potential for congress gridlock when dealing with complex regulations concerning hemp, which could lead to a future hemp ban. This could significantly impact the future of cannabis and marijuana in America.They discuss a significant case where a group of Massachusetts cannabis companies is asking the Supreme Court to rule that the federal marijuana ban no longer applies to them, potentially overturning the 2005 Gonzales v. Raich ruling. Other topics include the Ohio legislature's move to tighten cannabis laws, the potential impact of new federal CBD coverage under Medicare, and Tennessee's evolving hemp regulations. 00:00 Welcome to the Cannabis Law Podcast00:29 Massachusetts Cannabis Companies Challenge Federal Ban01:47 Supreme Court's Role in Cannabis Legalization17:22 Ohio's Controversial Cannabis Legislation21:24 Federal Health Agency and CBD Coverage28:47 Political Maneuvering and Hemp Legislation30:49 Understanding Decarboxylation32:16 Cannabis Stigma and Medical Use35:43 Michigan's Cannabis Tax Battle39:14 Name That Strain: Fun with Cannabis Varieties43:25 Tennessee's Hemp Industry and Legal Challenges47:45 Federal Legalization and Regulatory Issues55:47 Concluding Thoughts and Future Content

Big changes are here for savers and retirees, and they're easier to navigate than you think. We walk through the 2025 retirement reset with clear contribution limits, what the super catch-up really means for ages 60 to 63, and how to balance Roth and pre-tax choices without leaving money on the table. You'll hear a grounded view on returns going forward—why large-cap U.S. stocks may sit closer to 4.5 to 6 percent and why bonds finally deserve a seat back at the table with 4 to 5 percent potential.From there, we get practical about turning portfolios into paychecks. The classic 4 percent rule still works as a starting point, but inflation and volatility call for guardrails. We outline flexible withdrawal tactics, cash and short-bond buffers, and how to avoid selling stocks in a downturn. If you're retiring early or bridging to Medicare, we share ways to pace withdrawals without blowing up your plan.We also break down Social Security decisions with the latest COLA, rising Medicare premiums, and a realistic break-even window in the mid-to-late 70s. If longevity runs in your family, delaying can pay off; if you're not working, you may blend strategies to manage taxes and risk. To wrap, we give you a no-nonsense year-end checklist: bump savings by one to two percent, rebalance from winners to laggards, verify your Social Security earnings, and right-size your emergency fund to today's expenses.If this helped you reset your plan, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who needs a 15-minute financial tune-up.

What happens when you stop chasing status and start building a family mission?

David McKnight busts some of the most common Roth conversion myths that are costing retirees hundreds of thousands – if not millions –  of dollars over the course of retirement. The "Don't worry about Roth conversion, you'll be in a lower tax bracket when you retire" myth is based on two flawed assumptions. The first one is that your lifestyle will drop significantly in retirement, while the second is the one related to future tax rates being the same or lower than they are today. David points out that, in retirement, people want to maintain their lifestyle. In some cases, they even spend more in early retirement (think travels, healthcare and helping with kids or grandkids). Let's remember that the U.S. national debt is projected to hit $63 trillion by 2035. The country has unfunded obligations in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid that total over $200 trillion, and interest on the debt is going to crowd out most of the national budget items by the mid 2030s… The primary value of a Roth conversion is that it pre-pays taxes at historically low rates to avoid paying them later when rates are likely to be higher. Roth conversions not being binary, and the fact that you can get massive tax benefits without having to convert your entire IRA is another big myth David debunks. David explains why you should voluntarily pay taxes instead of delaying that decision. Ever heard of "If you don't have cash to pay the tax, you shouldn't convert"? It's another myth David addresses in this episode. For the millions of Americans who have most of their savings in tax-affirmed accounts, strategic conversions are one of the best ways to insulate yourself from the tax freight train bearing down on America.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com

Healthcare attorney Sarah Covington joins Tracy to discuss why proactive legal engagement saves independent practice owners both time and money. Drawing from her experience in big law, health systems, and her own practice, Sarah reveals the compliance requirements most practice owners don't know about and shares practical strategies for managing the juggling act between patient care and business leadership. From financial modeling that takes the fear out of reimbursement cuts to simple tech solutions that improve both patient experience and team efficiency, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building sustainable, thriving practices.  Click here for full show notes  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  Why practices that engage legal counsel regularly actually have lower overall legal spend than those who wait for emergencies  The ACA compliance requirement that affects practices accepting Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP (and why you need quarterly compliance meetings)  How financial modeling transforms anxiety about reimbursement cuts into actionable business decisions  The power of time blocking to separate clinical work from business management—and why mixing these roles can cross ethical boundaries  Simple efficiency wins: How online patient scheduling reduces errors, improves cash flow, and creates better experiences for everyone  The "hat switching" challenge between clinician and entrepreneur mindsets  Why PCM (Principal Care Management) is often missed in specialist offices and how it can offset reimbursement cuts  Memorable Quotes  "The ones that I see really struggling—most of it is financial, and it's because there isn't that strong financial modeling in place."  "For a lot of practices that I work with, the ones that I see routinely engaging legal actually have lower overall legal spend than the ones that wait for issues."  "If you're feeling burned out, it's not you, it's the system."  "You want to continue providing that really great care for your patients, and you do that by having your doors open."  "Time block. Start time blocking and set aside: these are the hours where I work on business matters, these are the hours that I take care of patients."  Closing  Sarah Covington reminds us that independent practice owners are doing a fabulous job juggling way too many things in a system that creates unique constraints. The path forward isn't about working harder—it's about building the right support systems, making informed financial decisions, and protecting time for strategic thinking. Because when you take care of your business, you can continue taking care of your patients.  Guest Bio:  Sarah Covington's path to healthcare law began in an unexpected place—sitting in a children's hospital during her daughter's heart surgery. While halfway through her MBA, she observed the inefficiencies around her and decided to become part of the solution. After adding a healthcare management concentration to her degree (and ruling out medical school after realizing insides-on-the-outside weren't her thing), Sarah eventually pursued law school to build stronger skills for supporting founding teams.  Following a stint in Big Law that taught her lessons she uses daily, Sarah returned to her passion: healthcare innovation. Today, she works at the intersection of law and healthcare startups, helping founding teams navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Licensed in South Dakota and Arizona, Sarah is dedicated to figuring out the nooks and crannies of healthcare law to make the system a little better for the next generation.  Find Sarah:  Forward Slash/Health Website  LinkedIn  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

The seasons have changed, and fall is coming to an end, which means the holidays are here! While Nate may not be the biggest fan of Thanksgiving food, he and Chelsea take some time to reflect on life and money lessons they are thankful to have learned, often around a dinner table. Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones break down some of the valuable lessons they learned when they were young, like “don't spend money you don't have yet,” and Chelsea's favorite, “pay yourself first.” We also discuss your colleagues' questions. A Neurosurgeon in New York just got a bonus payment and has a large lump sum to invest. Should they do a one-time deposit to their taxable account or dollar cost average? A Cardiologist in Oregon says, “We earn $700k/year and we watch what we spend to some extent, yet at the end of the month, we are out of money. What do you think the problem is?” The wife of a retired General Surgeon in Oregon asks, “My husband is on Medicare, but I am not, and my insurance covers our youngest son. Should I have an HSA?” A Dermatologist in Texas says, ”My in-laws are selling their home and we are thinking about buying it and turning it into a rental property. What do you think?” However you celebrate the upcoming holiday season, we at Physician Family Financial Advisors are thankful for you! Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track.

SummaryIn this episode, Sean M Weiss and Terry Fletcher discuss the complexities of compliance in healthcare, particularly as the year comes to a close.

Stop this barbaric treatment! Sign the petition here: https://stopect.com/email-congress This barbaric medical treatment is still being used to treat depression and mental illness in the US. Find out about the dangerous side effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), one of the most controversial mental health treatments that exists. You won't believe they're still doing this!0:00 Introduction: ECT for depression0:41 Electroshock treatment background2:11 Is ECT dangerous? 2:23 What is electroconvulsive therapy?4:22 More side effects of electroconvulsive therapy4:38 Trauma from electroshock therapy This barbaric mental health therapy costs around $2000 to $2500 per treatment, and is covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and the VA system. It's a multibillion-dollar market! The average treatment plan includes 12 sessions in the first month, followed by maintenance sessions every 3 weeks. This treatment has never been scientifically proven to work! There have been no official trials, and it has even been performed on children and pregnant women. The UN calls this treatment a human rights abuse and compares this forced treatment on minors to torture. In China, it's actually used as a form of torture. In addition, this treatment has never been FDA-approved and was merely grandfathered in. In 2018, the FDA downgraded it from a high-risk classification to a moderate-risk classification. This dangerous treatment causes structural brain damage, creates swelling and inflammation in the brain, and even kills brain cells. Electroconvulsive therapy involves putting 150 volts through a person's brain to induce a grand mal seizure. ECT treatment comes with many side effects, has 60 documented adverse events, and can cause permanent brain damage, memory loss, and heart attacks. This treatment uses enough energy to stop the heart, and there is nothing stopping the voltage from traveling to the rest of the body. This can lead to cardiac arrest! People who use this treatment are also at an increased risk of suicide. I've seen firsthand in practice that people who've had this treatment lose their personality, humor, creativity, and more. ECT treatment can lead to death, destruction of cells and mitochondria, and shrinking of the hippocampus. Neurologist Dr. John Feinberg noted in 1977 that ECT caused structural brain damage, indistinguishable from head trauma. If you have depression, diet and lifestyle changes may help. Increasing vitamin D levels, B-vitamin levels, and omega-3 levels, along with a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting, can significantly improve your symptoms.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

The U.S. economy has already crashed. The stock market is just the last one to figure it out. In this essay, Max talks about what happens when hegemonic economies collapse and how the U.S. has been able to keep things afloat while the bottom falls out. He draws parallels to the crash of 1929 and the subsequent Depression and speaks to the differences. There is a path forward for Progressives but it won’t be a presidential run. The DNC will make sure of that. But we can borrow from Russell Vought’s playbook to build a coalition of support on the ground.
