"Ever moment, every day is worth celebrating." Somer LoveSomer Love has spent her life choosing hope, dreaming big, and showing up fully for each day. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just 11 months old, Somer has grown into a powerful and compassionate advocate for the CF community.Guided by her belief that “Every moment, every day is worth celebrating,” Somer brings joy and purpose into everything she does. She often reminds others that “laughter is key,” a mindset that has helped carry her, and those around her, through the challenges of life with cystic fibrosis.Through her work, Somer is dedicated to raising awareness, educating others, and offering hope, especially to families navigating a new CF diagnosis. In 2001, she founded Love to Breathe®, a platform created to educate, spread awareness about cystic fibrosis, and share love and connection around the world.Big on birthdays, Somer's parents made celebration part of her story in an unforgettable way. Every year, they placed Somer's photo on a billboard. What began as a birthday tradition became something much bigger, raising awareness about cystic fibrosis in a way that stops people in their tracks. What that billboard did for awareness will give you chills. It's something you will never forget. You'll have to listen to the podcast to hear the story!Somer knows that fighting CF isn't something anyone can do alone. Her journey is deeply rooted in the strength of her support system and the community that stands beside her. She continues to advocate not only for her own future, but for a cure, for everyone living with cystic fibrosis.Somer sums up the reason to advocate.

When Insurance Gets Between Doctors and PatientsDr. Elizabeth Ames and Dr. Caleb Bupp are deeply committed to their patients. But like so many clinicians today, they're spending an extraordinary amount of time battling insurance companies instead of practicing medicine.Between prior authorizations, step therapy requirements, and outright coverage denials, physicians and their teams are buried in paperwork, often at the direct expense of patient care. Time that should be spent listening, diagnosing, and treating is instead consumed by forms, phone calls, and appeals.Boston Globe reporter Jonathan Saltzman raised the concern and Dr. Ames brought it to my attention. The reporter talks about, a new program rolled out by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. The insurer says the initiative is designed to control rising healthcare costs for its 3 million members, noting that costs have increased by 30 percent since 2021. But, the program specifically targets physicians who bill for the most expensive visits. The reason for the increased expense, which is discussed in our podcast, is because doctors are choosing to spend more time with rare disease patients who have complicated health issues. They need to spend more time with complex medical needs patients than say, someone with a sore throat.Drs. Ames and Bupp warn that this approach fundamentally misunderstands patient care, particularly for those with complex or rare conditions. “These patients don't need less time; they need more” says Dr. Ames. Physicians argue that policies like this risk rushed appointments, strained doctor/patient relationships, and poorer outcomes. Nowhere is this more concerning than in the rare disease community, where delays and denials can be devastating.Dr. Elizabeth Ames and Dr. Caleb Bupp talk about what this looks like in real life. As pediatric geneticists, they see firsthand how insurance barriers impact families already navigating diagnostic odysseys, uncertainty, and fear. Their work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and deeply human stories, and insurance interference often disrupts both. Dr. Ames, “Usually we get faxes saying, this has been denied and we start working on it. But the family gets a letter that the drug they need, the process is delayed by a “no”. We try and have good communication and say, “hey, we got this denial,” we're working on it. But I think it's deaths by a thousand cuts for the family. Families take the denial as, “I'm not worth of coverage, and that's really hard”. Dr. Bupp says they have had to hire genetic counselors, a job that didn't exist even 5 years ago, “We have a job description in our organization for it now because of the complexities that come with trying to unravel these insurance situations”.We should also note that Dr. Ames, Dr. Bupp, and I all serve on the Rare Disease Advisory Council (RDAC) in Michigan. “I think rare disease advocacy, there is power in numbers. One person can be a huge difference maker, but it's not one plus one equals two. It really exponentially grows, and I think with things like rare disease advisory councils, that gives you a better connection within your state, for state government and for advocacy. And I also think, or I hope, that it gives a place for an individual to plug in and that can then magnify and amplify. their voice so that they're not alone”. Many states have RDAC's, You can see if your state has an RDAC. For more on the Michigan RDACIn this article and in the podcast we are not speaking on behalf of the council, but it's important to understand why bodies like RDAC exist in the first place. Michigan is home to approximately one million people living with rare diseases, and the RDAC was created to ensure their voices, and experiences help shape policy. RDAC meetings are open to the public, and anyone in Michigan can participate and offer public comment. We hope you join our meetings via zoom (sometimes hybrid).This conversation isn't just about insurance policies. It's about time, trust, and whether our healthcare system truly serves patients, especially those with the most complex needs. Speak up, share your story. Advocate. Make a difference, Mold the future, for future generations.To look at the Everylife Diagnosis Odyssey https://everylifefoundation.org/delayed-diagnosis-study/ discussed in the podcast.  Everylife impact of diagnosis: https://everylifefoundation.org/burden-study/ Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/enRead us on Substack: https://substack.com/@lstb?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageWatch our trailer of Embracing Egypt: https://youtu.be/RYjlB25Cr9Y

Innovating Medicine: How Science, Collaboration, and Curiosity Transform Patient CareIt is always inspiring to speak with true innovators on this podcast, the people who don't just follow the science, but actively push it forward, turning ideas into real-world solutions that change lives. We are honored to welcome Dr. Jeffry Weers whose work has profoundly impacted the cystic fibrosis (CF) community and beyond.Dr. Weers is a distinguished pharmaceutical scientist with more than 35 years of experience designing and developing novel drug-delivery systems. Throughout his career, he has focused on innovative treatments for CF, working across formulations, biologics, small molecules, and combination products. His achievements include an extensive patent portfolio and a remarkable publication record, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to translate ideas into treatments that improve patient lives.  I found that many scientists like Dr. Weers are soft spoken. They don't want to brag about their scientific successes, they just want their work to speak for itself.  Dr. Weers is so darn smart!  He won't toot his own horn, so I must!  He's a great person who is filled with so much hope for the future.One of Dr. Weers' most notable contributions is the invention of the Tobi Podhaler, a device that transformed how inhaled antibiotics reach the lungs. For people living with CF, this innovation has meant more effective, easier-to-administer treatment, significantly improving daily quality of life. His work exemplifies the power of scientific innovation to directly impact patient care.Dr. Weers delves into both the breakthroughs and the challenges of drug development. He shares insights into the ongoing hurdles of developing inhaled medications, including inhaled insulin, and emphasizes the regulatory obstacles that can slow the introduction of new anti-infectives. Yet, he remains optimistic about the future, highlighting the role of collaboration among scientists and the potential of AI to enhance medical imaging, diagnosis, and patient outcomes.Dr. Weers also stresses the critical importance of addressing infectious diseases in CF patients and the responsibility of the scientific community to advocate for better treatments. Beyond his professional achievements, he reflects on the personal side of being a lifelong scientist, sharing how interests like farming provide balance and perspective in a demanding career.I particularly loved recording this episode because Dr. Weers has a rare ability to make complex science accessible, explaining the “why” behind innovations in a way anyone can understand. For anyone curious about the intersection of science, medicine, and human impact, this conversation is both enlightening and inspiring.To watch a fabulous video that explains the creation of what it takes to get medicine into the lungs, view here: You Tube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwglM8Zo4m0Inhaled drug delivery in CF/ YouTube link: nother YouTube link: https://youtu.be/iV27VdieQbo Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Daelyn James, is someone who understands the power of owning your story. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just four years old, she remembers what it felt like to go from a carefree childhood to one filled with treatments, doctor visits, and a reality she wasn't ready to face. For a long time, Daelyn kept her CF hidden because she was worried it would change how people saw her or limit what she could do.But in high school, everything shifted. Daelyn made the brave decision to stop running from her diagnosis and start embracing it as part of who she is. And that choice changed her life.Now 25, she proudly lives with CF and uses her experiences to raise awareness, connect with others, and offer hope. Her message is simple but powerful: even in the hardest moments, there is strength, there is goodness, and there is always a way forward.I'm so excited for you to hear her story.To connect with Daelyn visit her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/daelyn_j/To connect with Somer Love her IG is Love to Breath: https://www.instagram.com/lovetobreathe/ Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Angie and Kimberly are joined by Bonnie Archibald, Associate Director of Mira USA, for a grounded conversation about guide dogs for blind youth and what truly goes into placing a dog with a child or teen. Mira USA focuses exclusively on blind youth ages 11 to 17, serving families at a point where independence starts to matter in very real ways.Bonnie explains Mira USA's rigorous application process, why training takes place in Canada, and how their Labernese dogs are bred and matched with young handlers. She shares what happens after training ends, when kids return to school, navigate social spaces, and begin moving through the world with a level of confidence that often surprises the people around them.The episode also explores the responsibility that comes with giving a child a guide dog, the expectations placed on families, and why Mira USA is intentional about who they serve and how they grow. Bonnie reflects on her own journey to the organization and what keeps her committed to work that demands patience, structure, and long term follow through.This conversation offers a clear look at how guide dog placement for blind youth works, without glossing over the effort required to make it successful.Contact Mira USA:Website: https://mirausa.orgEvents and Fundraising: https://miraevents.orgEmail: info@mirausa.orgPhone: 910-691-0438

Higher Ed AV PodcastEpisode 343Joe Way caps off his ISE preview series with one of his annual favorite conversations, welcoming back Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events, the organizers of Integrated Systems Europe. Mike shares why ISE 2026 is on track to be the biggest edition yet, how the team plans the show as a year round reinvention cycle, and what “Push Beyond” really means in practice, not just as a theme, but as a commitment to raising the bar for the industry and the attendee experience.A big focus of the episode is how ISE has become more than a trade show inside a convention center. Mike explains the deliberate shift to making ISE a city wide experience that gives something back to Barcelona while also showcasing the best of AV to the public. Joe and Mike unpack how those external activations connect back to the show floor, the conference program, and the broader mission of ISE as a marketplace plus an editorial engine for learning.The conversation also goes deep on vertical strategy and why education continues to grow at ISE. Mike talks about partnering with subject matter experts and communities to curate programming that motivates end users to attend, and Joe shares how HETMA is helping first timers navigate the show and find their people. They close with practical pro tips for surviving the scale of ISE, plus Mike's latest attendance signals and a few Barcelona favorites.Key topics and highlightsMike's role and the show's foundation: Integrated Systems Events as a joint venture between AVIXA and CEDIA, with more than two decades of ISE history and continued growthISE 2026 theme: Push BeyondInternal: the ISE team challenges itself every year to avoid getting “comfortable” and to reinvent the experienceExternal: challenging the AV and systems integration industry to push boundaries and raise expectationsWhy ISE feels different: ISE as both marketplace and “publisher”Exhibitors are the marketplace and the advertisingISE's job is the editorial: conferences, summits, thought leadership, and curated experiences that make the trip worth itBarcelona as part of the showThe origin story: learning from city gridlock in Amsterdam and deciding to create value for locals, not just visitorsProjection mapping at Casa Batlló and connecting it back to the show through artist involvement and learning momentsCollaboration with the Llum lighting festival, moving it to dovetail with ISE and supporting it without consuming its identityA major new “Push Beyond” moment for 2026: drones go outsideNightly outdoor drone shows near the venue starting around 6:30 pmIntegrated with a large transparent LED element and immersive programmingSpecial Tuesday evening performance with a live orchestra and opera singer, then repeated with recorded performance on Wednesday and ThursdayEducation growth and the EdTech Congress partnershipWhy the education technology cluster matters and how it grew from small beginnings into a serious conveningWhy partnering makes sense: thousands of education specialists, many not previously attending ISEHow it's structured: Montjuïc venue, shuttle connections, two day format that complements ISE and encourages cross attendanceMike's broader point: ISE succeeds by working with partners who know each subject area better than the show organizers doShow navigation and scaleWhy you cannot “do it all” in four daysHow ISE divided halls by sector so attendees can start in the right place for their vertical and then branch outProduction and live events growth: that “haze, lights, buzz” energy expanding into larger hallsWhat attendees should do differently this yearTreat ISE like a curated mission, not a wandering marathonPick your primary vertical starting hallBlock time for discovery outside your lane (the surprise vendors are part of the magic)Use communities and meet points (like HETMA) as a reset point to plan the next movePlan for the city experiencesAdd at least one evening for the public activations (projection mapping, Llum, and the new drone spectacular)Pro tips mentioned in the episodeDownload and use the official ISE app for wayfinding and planningUse the ISE tools, including the chatbot Dave, to quickly find vendors, locations, and show informationTake the metro to skip the post show taxi crushFree metro tickets are providedMetro access is available directly at the venue entrances called out by MikeLeave time for the “first ISE moment”Joe's reminder: the walk in experience hits before you even enter a hall, and first timers never forget itHETMA and higher ed calloutsHETMA is increasing its presence and community support at ISE, including being a visible flag for education attendees who want help navigating the show and connecting with the right peopleJoe encourages education attendees to use the HETMA meet point approach as a way to make a massive show feel manageableAttendance check and what Mike can shareMike shares last year's verified attendance number and notes current registration tracking is trending ahead year over yearJoe makes his annual guess and pushes for a new milestone, while Mike hints at internal competition and waits for final numbers post showHow to connect with Mike Blackman and ISE to learn moreISE Website: https://www.iseurope.orgEmail: mblackman@iseurope.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaellblackman/Connect with Joe Way:Web: https://www.josiahway.comLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/josiahwayX (Formerly Twitter): https://www.x.com/josiahwayInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josiahway

Running for Time: Chad Eddy's Mission Against Cystic FibrosisFor Chad Eddy, the fight against cystic fibrosis isn't abstract, it's personal. He's the proud uncle of two nieces born with CF. One is still living.When his goddaughter was born in 1998, (he asked their names not be used) the second of his nieces diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Chad's world changed. He quickly realized that simply walking in charity events or asking friends and family to donate wasn't enough. Love demanded action. Hope demanded movement.He wanted to do more. He wanted to be part of the generation that finds the cure. It's his motto.In 2017, Chad's heart broke when one of his nieces lost her courageous fight with CF. But even in grief, he found his purpose. He made a promise to her, and to his living niece, and to every person living with CF, that he would keep running toward a cure.Now, Chad isn't running for a medal. He's running for time. Time for those who can't breathe freely. Time for families waiting on a cure. Time for the breakthroughs that can change everything.His mission has taken shape in an extraordinary endurance challenge: running 6.5 miles every 6.5 hours for 65 straight hours , all to raise $65,000 for cystic fibrosis research.This is not a race. It's a test of heart, exhaustion, and purpose, run one step, one story, one promise at a time.Already, more than 80 donors have stepped forward, contributing over $11,000 to support Chad's mission. But this is no longer just a personal challenge, t's a movement.Through a short documentary film, that movement, and its heartbeat, will be captured forever.For everyone still fighting for breath, Chad runs because every moment counts. And he won't stop until cystic fibrosis is a disease of the past.For more information and to donate:: https://fundraise.cff.org/roseup2025/65milesin65hoursforCF To see the trailer for Generation: Cure: https://youtu.be/YyI_rNXuNAI?si=pk_tBY3NZkdtdfTn Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

When Jennifer joined New Hope in 2018, she didn't just take a job — she stepped into a calling. What began as a role coordinating outreach and events quickly became a mission to change how communities understand and support grief. With her compassion, creativity, and drive, Jennifer helped New Hope grow from a local resource into a lifeline for families across the region. Her leadership was soon undeniable — first as Interim Executive Director, then officially taking the helm in January 2020 — guiding New Hope through seasons of transformation, expansion, and profound impact.Under Jennifer's direction, New Hope has launched new loss-specific grief groups, expanded programming, and reached grievers in more communities than ever before. She continues to build on her expertise through national training with the National Alliance for Children's Grief and other organizations, ensuring that every program New Hope offers is trauma-informed, compassionate, and deeply effective.Jennifer's community involvement runs wide and deep — she serves on multiple local health and wellness councils, partners with school districts, and facilitates leadership and family development programs, includingThe Leader in MeandThe 7 Habits of Highly Successful Families. She's also been invited to speak and moderate at events like Hegira Health'sFocus on Zerosuicide prevention conference, sharing insights on resilience and healing.Today, Jennifer not only leads New Hope but helps train other organizations on how to support those in grief. She's currently helping design age-specific grief curriculum for students — empowering young people to understand loss, express emotion, and find hope. She's seen the full circle of healing firsthand: those once supported by New Hope returning to offer that same compassion to others, creating a community where no one grieves alone.

A black leather jacket, black hoop earrings, black T-shirt and pants. You may visualize a rock star, and Colin Hemez is a rock star of sorts, but he actually works in a white coat, a doctors coat. Yes, he's a scientist.Dr. Hemez brings a remarkable blend of science, creativity, and purpose to the fight against cystic fibrosis. Colin was born in France and raised in the high-desert town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, an environment steeped in scientific discovery. Summers interning at Los Alamos National Laboratory sparked his early fascination with how innovation can change lives.At Yale, he explored the intersection of engineering and art, studying biomedical engineering alongside art history to understand both the precision of science and the elegance of design. But it was a research trip to the Arctic University of Norway that set his path in motion. While building mathematical models of antibiotic resistance, a challenge many people with cystic fibrosis face, Colin discovered his true calling.Today, he's a PhD student in Dr. David R. Liu's renowned laboratory at Harvard, working at the cutting edge of gene editing for cystic fibrosis. Every day, Colin is pushing boundaries, imagining a future where science doesn't just treat CF but has the power to rewrite its story.We had to so much fun talking in this podcast. Born in France we talk about Colin's wonderful siblings and parents. They're all incredibly smart and making a huge difference in our world.Outside the lab, Colin reflected on the grounding role of art, music, and outdoor exploration, coping mechanisms that keep him connected to the world he's trying to impact. Looking ahead, he's both hopeful and driven: gene editing for cystic fibrosis is no longer a distant dream but a rapidly approaching reality with global implications. His aspirations are bold, but so is the science.In his view, the future of CF research depends on collaboration, imagination, and staying rooted in why the work matters: to bring healthier, longer lives within reach for every person living with this disease. We sure love his passion for science.

Breath to Breath Film that celebrates the contributions by Dr. Michael WelshA Conversation with Dr. Michael Welsh: The Science That is Saving LivesIt's always such a privilege to feature CF icons on the podcast. Over the years, we've been fortunate to host some of the most influential names in cystic fibrosis research, including Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the NIH and one of the authors of the Human Genome Project, and his longtime friend Dr. Mitch Drumm, who was working on his doctorate when the CF gene was discovered back in 1989.I actually saw Mitch recently at a dinner, and as many of you know, Dr. Collins continues to be a tireless advocate for good science and for sharing its importance with the world.And now, we add another legend to that list: Dr. Michael Welsh from the University of Iowa.Dr. Welsh tells his story beautifully in the University's film Breath by Breath: Living with Cystic Fibrosis. In it, he describes how his curiosity about the CFTR protein led to groundbreaking discoveries that ultimately laid the foundation for CF therapies, the very treatments that have changed (and saved) thousands of lives, including the lives of my daughters.Dr. Welsh's career is extraordinary, spanning decades of research, mentorship, and discovery. He's the Carver Professor of Internal Medicine and Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Iowa, and from 1989 to 2024, he served as an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He currently directs both the Pappajohn Biomedical Institute and the Cystic Fibrosis Research Center.We've linked both his full bio and the film in the show notes, and I highly encourage you to check them out. His accolades could fill pages, actually, an entire book! We had so many laughs too in this podcast! So much fun. You'll really enjoy it.Dr. Welsh shared insights not only into his scientific journey, but also the heart behind the work. He recently received the Lasker Award for pioneering CF research that led to life-saving therapies, a recognition that celebrates decades of persistence, curiosity, and collaboration.We discussed so much:How his team began unraveling the mystery of the CFTR protein and what that breakthrough moment felt likeWhat it's like to see patients thriving because of the treatments that grew from that workWhy the University of Iowa decided to produce Breath by Breath, and what the film means to him personallyWhat new treatments and discoveries he's exploring nowHearing Dr. Welsh describe the intersection of science, hope, and humanity is powerful. You can tell that for him, this work isn't just research, it's a mission.As the documentary shows, CF isn't just a disease studied under a microscope. It's a lived experience for patients and families, one that now includes real hope thanks to the breakthroughs made by scientists like Dr. Michael Welsh.Biography:Dr. Michael Welsh is the Carver Professor of Internal Medicine and Molecular Physiology andBiophysics at the University of Iowa. From 1989-2024, he was an Investigator of the HowardHughes Medical Institute. He directs the Pappajohn Biomedical Institute and the Cystic FibrosisResearch Center.Dr. Welsh obtained an MD and completed an internal medicine residency at the University ofIowa. He then trained in pulmonary medicine and research at the University of California, SanFrancisco and physiology at the University of Texas, Houston.Dr. Welsh and his colleagues discovered that the protein affected in cystic fibrosis is an anionchannel, elucidated its functional mechanisms, discovered ways that mutations disrupt function,and showed that mutations can be rescued. This work led directly to development of medicinesthat target CFTR and are highly effective for most cystic fibrosis patients. To understand diseasepathogenesis, he and his collaborators developed cystic fibrosis pigs, the first mammal, otherthan mice, in which a gene was targeted to generate a disease model.His clinical activities focused on pulmonary diseases. He has trained many physicians andscientists and received the Distinguished Mentor Award, University of Iowa Carver College ofMedicine.To watch the film, click here:  https://uihealthcare.org/cystic-fibrosis-research-iowa#documentaryTo learn more about Dr. Welsh: https://internalmedicine.medicine.uiowa.edu/profile/michael-welsh Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Back to Nature Farms, located in Fremont, Neb.Operated by Chad and Dawn Christianson, “At Back to Nature Farms, we believe that healthy soil creates healthy plants, which leads to thriving animals supplying nutrient-dense food for you, our thriving customer.”You may have heard the term “regenerative agriculture” and may not understand what it is. We didn't fully understand the principles behind it either. In learning more, we were taught about the interaction between the soil, plants, animals, and ultimately human health – YOUR health.Centuries ago, animal migration was what fertilized and kept the ecosystem in check. The pressure of the animals moving along the soil, foraging the plants, and their ruminants (excrement) all had a major impact on the soil and plants, while giving the animals the proper nutrition they needed to move across the lands. We learned that by not having animals in our row cropping operation, we were giving you, the consumer, a mediocre product. Knowing our responsibility as stewards of the land and providing the best quality food for you, this was eye-opening to learn. We soon started custom-grazing cows on our cover crops during the fall/winter season, and this new adventure began. Soon, we had the opportunity to expand Back to Nature Farms.Little did we know that caring for and raising livestock would be such a joyful and rewarding addition to the farm and family. After rotational grazing of cattle in the fall and winter months, you will find chickens and pigs grazing in the spring and summer months in the pasture. Doing this helps make the soil even more fertile while they are free to eat bugs, scratch at the earth, root, dig and do everything a pig and chicken is naturally inclined to do. We value using honest business practices to produce healthy, nutrient-dense proteins with transparency, so you know where and how your food is raised. These practices allow the animals to flourish without the use of added hormones or antibiotics and pass that goodness on to you the way nature intended.We have all attended many seminars and conferences to help us learn and understand this cycle.We can never learn enough to keep expanding our knowledge and passion for regenerative agriculture.--Follow their endeavors:WEBSITE: www.backtonaturefarms.orgEMAIL: info@backtonaturefarms.orgPHONE:  Chad - (402) 720-0593;  Dawn - (402) 720-0108INSTA: @back.to.nature.farmsTIKTOK:  back.to.nature.far www.cheerswithears.org@cheerswithears--Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe.HOST: Kerry HoffschneiderGUESTS: Chad & Dawn Christianson--CREDITS:Mitchell Roush, ProducerBibi Luevano, Cover ArtPurple Planet Music, Theme

What does it mean to live with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Amish and Mennonite communities, where many families don't use phones, computers, or even electricity? For some, this means relying on handwritten letters for communication, trying herbal remedies before conventional medicine, and declining treatments like lung transplants or in vitro fertilization because of cultural and religious beliefs.Update State CF Center (Syracuse, NY) Social Worker Lejla Bush, who has worked with the CF community for over a decade, shares how Amish and Mennonite families navigate CF while staying true to their traditions. She explains the unique challenges, from financial hurdles without health insurance, to hospital care that must adapt to cultural practices, and the vital role of community support in helping families face this disease.Most importantly, Lejla reminds us that while the cultural context is different, Amish and Mennonite parents hold the same hopes, fears, and love for their children as any other family affected by CF.This episode opens a window into the powerful intersection of culture, medicine, and resilience.We did a Q and A with some people in the Amish and Mennonite communities. Thanks to Lejla for sharing so much information about the Amish and Mennonite communities.To see a letter of Q and A with one of the Amish patients click here: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/AmishLetter.jpg Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Hominins and feathered dinosaurs get all the publicity, but what even is a non-mammalian synapsid? They are some of the weirdest and coolest fossils in the fossil record, and they get almost no attention! Join Todd and Paul as they chat with paleontologist Matt McLain about these weird fossils. Do they really prove mammal evolution, or is there much more to the story?

Delivering Hope across Continents. The why and how Summer Bauder got involved with CF Vests Worldwide.Summer Bauder is a remarkable woman whose story embodies compassion, perseverance, and global impact.Summer's journey began as a stay-at-home mom managing a bustling household a life filled with love, chaos, and purpose. But everything changed when her brother-in-law's daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF). What started as a family connection to CF grew into a calling that now spans continents.Today, Summer serves as a key volunteer for CF Vest Worldwide, a nonprofit that provides life-changing airway clearance vests to people with CF who can't afford them. Her days are filled with cleaning, sorting, and shipping donated vests to families across the globe, and sometimes, personally delivering them.From India to Colombia to Ecuador, Summer has met families whose gratitude reminds her daily why this work matters. She shares powerful, heartwarming moments, like watching a child take easier breaths for the first time, and the challenges of navigating logistics, language barriers, and limited resources.Next up? Honduras, where Summer delivers 10 vests to families in need.Balancing her large family and international volunteer work hasn't been easy, but Summer says her experiences at home prepared her for the organizational and emotional demands of this mission. Her story is a reminder that one person — one family — can make a global difference.This episode shines a light on the power of community, family support, and the ripple effect of kindness.If you'd like to support Summer's efforts, CF Vest Worldwide is currently accepting donations of child-sized garmentsused to distribute vests to children with CF around the world.What's her connection? Her why?  It's her brother, Josh Bauder.To see more about Summer's work, watch her video: https://youtu.be/sHSB9kIp060To contact CFVWW: rod@cfvww.org Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Jennifer McKinnon is fierce. Doctors said Jennifer wouldn't live past the age of three.Today, she's a single mom of twins, an unstoppable advocate who's raised over a million dollars for cystic fibrosis research, and the founder of Just One More Breath. Her story is proof that while CF is tough, Jennifer is tougher, and that hope, when held fiercely, can change everything.Jennifer was born in the 1970s with cystic fibrosis, a time when the disease was still cloaked in uncertainty and fear. Few children with CF lived to see adulthood, and the treatments that exist today were still decades away. From the very beginning, every breath she took was a small act of defiance. Hospital rooms became her playgrounds, IV poles her silent companions, and the steady rhythm of nebulizers the soundtrack of her childhood.But even in those sterile rooms filled with machines and medicine, Jennifer's spirit burned bright. She refused to let CF define her — or defeat her. Through endless hospital stays, setbacks, and the exhausting daily grind of treatments, she found reasons to laugh, to dream, and to keep fighting. Every milestone, every birthday, every deep breath, became a victory.Then came 2019, a year that would rewrite her story once again. With the arrival of Trikafta, the groundbreaking CF modulator, Jennifer's world shifted. Suddenly, life felt lighter — her lungs stronger, her body more capable. For the first time, she could picture a future not limited by her disease but expanded by possibility. She could plan, imagine, and live, truly live, in ways she once only dreamed of.Yet Jennifer's story isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. Rather than turning inward, she turned outward — channeling her strength into action. She's raised over a million dollars for cystic fibrosis research, driven by the belief that every dollar brings us closer to a cure. She became a mother to twins through the extraordinary gift of her sister, proving that family and love can find a way even when the odds seem impossible.Today, Jennifer stands as a single mom, a tireless advocate, and the voice behind Just One More Breath, a platform dedicated to raising awareness, sharing stories, and inspiring others to keep pushing forward ... one breath at a time.Her journey is a powerful reminder that life with cystic fibrosis is unpredictable, yes, but it is also breathtakingly beautiful. It's a life lived with intention, courage, and grace. Jennifer's story teaches us that even when the odds seem insurmountable, resilience can turn pain into purpose, and hope can carry you through the darkest storms.Because for Jennifer, every breath is more than survival.It's a celebration of strength, of love, and of the limitless power of the human spirit.Jennifer on IG: https://www.instagram.com/just.onemorebreath/?hl=enWebsite: https://jennifer-mckinnon.com/?  Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Did God really make a man and name him "Dirt?" He sure did! Todd and Paul talk about creationist beliefs in Genesis chapter 2. They cover all the basic creationist beliefs from the creation of Adam (AKA "Dirt") to the planting of the Garden of Eden to the naming of animals and the creation of woman. Also: Did it rain before the Flood? (*SPOILER* YES.) Where is Eden? (*SPOILER* It's gone now.) And what's up with all the agricultural hints in this chapter?

The Triple Threat to the Rare Disease Ecosystem — A Conversation with Dr. Wendy ChungSometimes you come across someone whose work changes the way you think about an entire field. That's exactly what happened when I read about Dr. Wendy Chung in Rare Revolution Magazine.Dr. Chung is one of those rare people who stands at the intersection of science, medicine, ethics, and humanity. She's a clinical and molecular geneticist, the Chief of Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Mary Ellen Avery Professor at Harvard Medical School. She leads NIH-funded research into the genetics of conditions like pulmonary hypertension, autism, birth defects, and a wide range of rare diseases. She's advanced newborn screening for life-threatening disorders like spinal muscular atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy — work that means the difference between life and death for many families. She's been recognized with the Rare Impact Award from NORD, is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, and is a leading voice on the ethics of genomics.But titles and accolades only tell part of her story. What stands out most is her deep commitment to the people behind the science, the families living day in and day out with conditions that most of the world has never heard of.When we spoke, Dr. Chung described what she calls the “triple threat” to the rare disease ecosystem:Misinformation in health that spreads faster than facts and erodes trust in science.Lack of access to healthcare, leaving too many without the treatments they need, when they need them.Insufficient investment in research, slowing the pace of discovery and delaying life-saving therapies.Each of these challenges is daunting on its own, but together they create a fragile and often hostile environment for progress in rare disease research and care.She pointed out that while most genetic conditions are rare individually, collectively they are surprisingly common — affecting millions worldwide. That's a staggering thought, especially considering how little public awareness and funding rare diseases often receive.We also talked about autism, a condition she has studied extensively. She emphasized that autism is a spectrum, with multiple causes, the majority of which are genetic. Understanding that complexity is crucial, not only for advancing science but also for helping families cope and make informed decisions.One of the threads running through our conversation was the urgent need for better communication in science. In an age where misinformation spreads in seconds, the ability to convey facts clearly and accessibly isn't just a nice skill — it's a necessity. Miscommunication or confusion doesn't just impact public opinion; it influences policy decisions, research funding, and the direction of healthcare itself.Dr. Chung stressed that advocacy matters at every level — from the conversations parents have with their children's doctors to the policies shaped in Washington. Community engagement isn't just a feel-good idea; it's one of the most effective ways to accelerate progress. Patients, families, scientists, and policymakers all have a role to play, and collaboration among them is where breakthroughs happen.In the end, our conversation left me with two truths. First, that rare disease progress depends on persistence from so many people. The researchers who refuse to give up, from families who continue to fight for answers, and from advocates who push for change. Second, that truth itself is a kind of medicine. The more accurately, compassionately, and consistently we can communicate about rare diseases, the better chance we have at building a healthcare ecosystem that works for everyone.Dr. Wendy Chung is leading that charge, not just in the lab, but in the public square. And in this fight, both matter equally.

Everyone says that Genesis 2 contradicts Genesis 1! Could everyone be wrong? Join Paul and Todd as they discuss the alleged problems with Genesis 2 in this latest episode in our Creationism 101 series. From the name of God to the creation of birds, Todd and Paul take on eight contradictions and find most of them wanting. The detailed creation of Adam is definitely different from the creation week, but rumors of contradiction are greatly exaggerated.Materials mentioned in this episodeCameron, N.M. de S. 1980.
