Chief Medical Officer at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital Dr. Kevin Most joins the Steve Cochran Show to discuss whether it's necessary to take time off from work for a head cold, the reasons behind the blood shortage in the United States, and why people often delay seeking medical attention until they perceive something as 'extremely wrong.' Dr. Kevin Most's Steve Cochran Show Notes: October is Breast cancer Awareness Month Breast cancer is the 2nd most common cause of Cancer among women, second only to skin cancer It makes up 30% of all new female cancers Annual cases in the US are approaching 400,000 a year. 43,000 women will die from breast cancer in the US this year Median age for breast cancer detection is 62 years old, this means that 50% of new cases of breast cancer occur in women under 62 years old. Women have a 1 in 8 chance of developing breast cancer at some time in their lives Incidence has increased slightly each year, better diagnosis? More awareness? Or environmental Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women) Breast cancer death rates have declined since 1989- results of finding cancer earlier, better treatments, screening awareness Risk factors include- alcohol consumption, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, women who have not had children, not breast feeding, hormonal therapy post menopause In May of 2023- recommendations changed to recommend that annual mammograms start at age 40 Mammogram timing at Covid and Flu shots – because of the immune response and the possible swelling of lymph nodes with the shots, many are recommending completing a screening mammogram 4-6 weeks following the vaccine The reason for this is the inflamed lymph nodes may lead to a false positive reading on a mammogram and lead to additional testing that in reality is not needed The best option is get the mammogram and then follow up with the annual vaccines, the timing should work Blood shortage- Red Cross provides about 40% of all blood in the US Red Cross has seen donations drop 25% over the past few months and is now at a critical level Versiti Blood center of Illinois is a  large donation company in the suburbs with many sites to donate Donations have declined by 25% since August- reasons include natural disasters, vacations, back to school Red Cross is pushing for allowing high schools to do blood drives again, these were stopped during the Covid pandemic This halt has not only impacted the amount of blood collected but also is seen as missing an opportunity to get new donors in line for continued donations People can donate blood every 8 weeks When you donate blood it is used in different ways- Red Blood Cells can be used for up to 30 days, Platelets which help with clotting last 5 days, Plasma which has clotting factors last up to a year as it is able to be frozen Are the fall drinks good for you Starbucks, Peet's , Dunkin Donuts, are now pushing the Fall Drinks, but do you know how they impact your nutrition Pumpkin Spice Latte   470  calories, 16g of fat and 60g of sugar – Venti or large size Perspective 2,000- 2,500 calories a day total is a goal.  60 g of Fat a day is a goal,  24 grams of sugar is a goal Christmas is right around the corner – Peppermint Mocha with whole milk- Venti – 550 calories, 22 grams for fat, 66 grams of sugar We know coffee has some great health benefits including antioxidants, decreases the risk of diabetes, decreases the risk of some cancers and may protect you from dementia, decreases the risk of depression So, Not saying stop drinking coffee just understand the health impact when adding all the flavors and sweeteners. Full Body MRI's- status symbol?  Realistic-  Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Cindy Crawford touting these? Some celebrities are promoting a full body MRI  done by a company Prenuvo, saying it is life saving Some celebrities are offering discount codes The scans cost $2,500 and are not covered by insurance, The company started in 2018, touts the scan as preventive and looks for illnesses before they are detected by traditional screening. They have 8 locations across North America and will be opening 12 more. There is one in Chicago The company is pushing this test as proactive instead of reactive You can go on their website and look at the different types of cancer that their scan may be able to identify Currently each type of cancer has some screening process, when taken as a group of tests this can be cumbersome and expensive Consider colonoscopy, mammograms, PSA tests, PAP tests  these are all tests we use to identify cancers thru screening, time consuming and fragmented, but in most cases still the “gold standard” for screening. Some cancers have no screening tests currently, like pancreas, ovarian, brain, kidney, and liver. While MRI would certainly identify some of these tumors at an early stage, the MRI results are not always as accurate as one would hope  and thus lead to additional testing and risky procedures which may not be appropriate (biopsies) Currently not supported by most physicians We certainly do not have enough scanners in the US if this was going to be considered Could it help with screening for those who have put off screening?  Could it identify a cancer early in the lungs, brain or pancreas that may be lifesaving, or at least life extending? The company recommends these scans every two years Is this a technology that is just ahead of its time and will be the gold standard in the future???? With so few sites, it does come down to those who can afford the test. The test may fill the needs of a population who is looking for more information about their risk for illnesses, like genetic testing See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the podcast we are joined by our friend, musician Rachael Cantu! Rachael stopped by the podcast to talk about how she has a lot in common with both of the Bayers. Among other topics we discuss our mutual friendship with the vastly underrated band Limbeck, message board culture, our "bad kid" moments as teenagers (straight-edge kids can be a bad influence, too) and the time Jonah missed seeing Sublime at a tiny club in Cleveland because of his weeknight curfew. We also dig deep into our favorite movie soundtracks ranging from Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" to "Empire Records" and Vanessa gives her take on what we'll call "Sugar Ray fan mentality." Finally we play a round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we tackle deep dish pizza chips, the Frasier reboot and the return of McDonald's Peppermint Mocha coffee drink. If you're not content listening to all this incredible content, frankly we don't know what to tell you! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just like the GOP, many Christian pastors, like Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Beth Moore and John Piper, claim to be conservative, all while sounding more like AOC sycophants than anything resembling conservatism. How did these historically conservative evangelical leaders all of a sudden start spouting off Bernie Sanders talking points?All roads lead back to The Great Reset, Klaus Schwab and George Soros. Christopher Prosch, a political consultant for Felix Strategies, explained that the same money that is corrupting Republican political leaders is also being thrown at pastors and Christian organizations to change their messaging.I highly encourage you to watch the Enemies Within The Church documentary. Whether you are a Christian or not, you will understand the evil strategies at play and the importance for the church to remain strong is America is going to withstand this attack from within.

Merry Christmas from the Big Foodies presented by Berky Orthodontics! To celebrate Christmas, the Big Foodies are trying the new Holiday line of drinks from Starbucks.

Biggie, Matt and Barrett sipped on and tried the new Peppermint Mocha, The Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino, The Irish Cream Cold Brew, Caramel Brulee Latte and the Chestnut Praline Latte. These sound a little too Boujee for a Big Foodies episode but we like fancy stuff too.

In #135, futurists tune into an epic conversation with legendary entrepreneur, Marc Randolph, the co-founder and first CEO of Netflix who walks us through the origin story of one of the most legendary startup stories in Silicon Valley history. When Marc and his co-founder, Reed Hastings, wanted to start a business in the late 90's they didn't have a clue where to start, and even thought they might do a shampoo or dog food company! In fact, Netflix's first name was Kibble.com (not kidding) until five months in, the team knew they would need a better name, with Randolph selecting the moniker that now defines modern entertainment. Marc scaled Netflix from a crazy idea into one of the most disruptive businesses in history, being responsible for the company's early user interface, branding, and data analytics system. After guiding the company through its 2002 IPO, Marc left the company, claiming to have been more interested in the startup phase. Since then, he's founded several successful companies, one of which is Looker, a multi-billion dollar data analytics company that was acquired by Google. In this podcast, Marc shares some incredible startup advice, participates in an underrated/overrated segment on hot business topics, and laughs remembering that Blockbuster rejected their offer to merge with the company for a mere $50M.

I come up to Preachy! LOL my next episode is going to be totally different! Topless! LMAOJK

Episode 33 – 3/6/18 WindsweptMonique on Ravelry and Instagram, windsweptmonique@gmail.com. Show Notes at knittingontherun.podbean.com FOs, Wips, Knitting Fail, Pattern Acquisition, Out and About, On the Run Thanks so much for listening! Start with a quick update.  Squeezing this episode in between storms.  We got home from visiting both sets of grandparents in Florida and found ourselves in the path of a record-breaking nor’easter.  It was an intense storm!  What is a nor’easter?  A type of cyclone storm, like hurricanes and typhoons are, that occur off the shore of New England and the Canadian Maritime provinces.  Gets it’s name from the winds coming out of the northeast on the back side of the storm, we get them all winter and they often dump lots of snow – feet of snow.  In the northeastern US we get weather coming up the coast from Florida and also weather coming across the continent west to east.  Occiaionally these two weather systems crash together and start rotating counter-clockwise and we get a nor’easter. This was an unusal nor’easter for southern new England in that it was almost al rain.  The rain/snow line was quite a ways inland.  Normally the rain snow line is right near the coast (I live only about 20 miles from the North Atlantic ocean and normally we’re inside the snow line for most of the storm.  Instead, we got 3-4 inches of rain [7.5-10cm] out of this one storm with hurricane-force winds.  Trees down everywhere, hundreds of thousands without power in Massachusetts alone.  We’re still clearing up and we’re getting another nor’easter tomorrow!  Tomorrow’s looks like a more traditional storm, which normally wouldn’t work people much, except we still have a lot of damage from the last storm.  FOs One sock of Vanilla is the New Black by Anneh Fletcher.  I have skinny ankles so I adapted this by not doing the last 2 heel increases and it fit my foot very well.  Worked on this one all over Florida, even at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, and finished on the airplane on the way home. Wips Vanilla is the New Black – started the second sock                                                                                            Emerald Deep shawl – Started chart 5 of 5 last night! This shawl is a charity knit for AGC Scholarships, a group that raises money for families dealing with infertility or who are trying to adopt.  Worked in Ito Yarn’s Kinu, 100% silk.  Kinu has a colorway, Aqua, which is almost the exact color of AGC’s logo so it was too perfect not to use.  The shawl will be auctioned off at AGC’s annual gala to raise money.  If you or someone you love would like to learn more about AGC, visit agcscholarships.org Knitting Fail I started the Peppermint Mocha sock by CC Almon from JavaPurl designs on the planeride to Florida on my US 2 Lykke needles. When I tried it on the next day it was WAAAAY too big, so once I dig out a US 0 or 1 I’ll try again.  It was my fault, not the pattern’s, as I didn’t make a gauge swatch. Pattern Acquisition Coinciding with the Ravallenics this year was the annual Middle Earth Games for the Tolkien group that I’m a part of, and I was lucky enough to win a free pattern!  Since I won it from a Tolkien-based group, I chose the Dancing Dragons Coat from Heike Campbell which is a spectacular and challenging knit that I am really looking forward to!  I’m hoping it’ll be my Ravelry sweater :)  I’ve linked to it and included a photo in the show notes, you have to see this one appreciate it! Out and About Florida!  W’re home.  Had a great time.  Spent half the time with my inlaws in Ocala area, and half the time with my parents outside Orlando.  1 day at Magic Kingdom last Monday, the boys behaved so well we opened and almost closed the park.  The lines were horrendous – didn’t realize it was Mississippi and Louisiana school vacation week last week.  Luckily we got 3 fastpasses for Space, Big Thunder and Splash mountains in the morning, which Thing 1 is tall enough to ride, and mom and dad got alternate fastpasses and took Jonathan on Buzz Lightyear and Aladdin’s carpets, etc.  Then we kept getting more fastpasses for the rest of the day for rides we could all go on together and we got on 13 or 14 rides despite the crowds.  Upcoming stuff: Stitches United week of March 24th – not sure if I’m going Sat or Sun yet, but I’ll be there. On The Run Training is still going well, though I skipped anything formal our week in Florida.  I figure the 10 miles I walked at Magic Kingdom covered anything I missed, ha! Now that it’s getting warmer I’m starting to take Thing 2 out for walks in our jogging stroller, which he loves.  My mileage is behind what I wanted to be at this point, but my body feels healthy so I’m not pushing it too much,  No more injuries!

Episode 32 WindsweptMonique on Ravelry and Instagram, windsweptmonique@gmail.com. Show Notes at knittingontherun.podbean.com Stash, Wips, Knitting Fail, Out and About Before we start – planning on getting back to having knitting and running topics, now that the holidays are over and we’re starting to get healthy again (knock on wood).  What do you want to hear about?  I have a few topics lined up but I’d love to hear from you.  Come to the Ravelry group and let me know or send me an email at windsweptmonique@gmail.com Stash Got 4 new skeins of CoBaSi by HiKoo – sock weight yarn without wool - 55% Cotton/ 16% Bamboo/ 8% Silk/ 21% Elastic – planning on using the Blarney colorway to knit JavaPurl’s Peppermint Mocha socks, and the blue-gray multi colored Wave Caps colorway to knit the Vanilla Is The New Black socks by Anneh Fletcher Also got my first shipment from HipString’s Cotton club.  Got 2 coordinated 2-oz braids of sunset colors, with oranges and blues – one with lighter tones and one with darker tones.  Normally I’m not a fan of orange but I have to say these two colorways are beautiful.   Wips Vanilla sock in Berroco Comfort Sock in Bali colorway.  Still chugging along at this 2+ year old WIP, it’s my car knitting – planning on putting the heel scrap yarn for an after thought heel in today Star Wars sweater for Thing 1 – finished the main body, on the bottom colorwork.  Using Nordic Yoke Pullover, a free pattern from Patons, as the base and altering the charts to have Star Wars characters/spaceships/icons.  Frosted by Paper Daisy Creations - finished the first sleeve, started second sleeve.  Hoping to finish the second sleeve this week and this will be my Ravellenics entry.  Knitting up in some old stash, Longmeadow (discontinued) from Valley Yarns in white, and the blues are 2 old skeins of Debbie Bliss Amalfi (discontinuted), 1 color of Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy and 1 color of Nettle Grove from Plymouth Yarns. Emerald Deep shawl – took this to Karate Movie Night at my son’s Dojo and finished Chart 3 and started Chart 4.  I’ll definitely have this done for the auction in March.  this shawl is a charity knit for AGC Scholarships, a group that raises money for families dealing with infertility or who are trying to adopt.  Worked in Ito Yarn’s Kinu, 100% silk.  Kinu has a colorway, Aqua, which is almost the exact color of AGC’s logo so it was too perfect not to use.  The shawl will be auctioned off at AGC’s annual gala to raise money.  If you or someone you love would like to learn more about AGC, visit agcscholarships.org   Knitting Fail As mentioned a few months ago, I was planning on fading a Lush by Tin Can Knits using color-coordinated yarns I picked up at Rhinebeck in gold, gold with pink specks and pink with gold undertones.  I washed the pink and gold/pink yarns to wash out extra dye – and unfortunately, it looks like the pink speckled yarn wasn’t set properly.  It wasn’t just the extra dye that came out, a lot of the pink washed out of the yarn – so much so that almost looks like the gold. :(  Definitely not going to fade it with the pink now, it would be a huge change in colors and not a fade at all, more like stripes.  Maye I’ll “fade” the gold into the gold/pink and treat them as hand-dyed yarns and just alternate skeins.  I’ll let you know what I decide to do.  Very sad. 2nd knitting fail – started knitting handspun for the Ravellenics, but I have the wrong needles.  Whereas the 2.5 and 2s I swatched with were too big, the 0s are too small and using magic loop is just not working.  So I’m putting this homespun earband on hold until I get 16 inch US size 1s 3rd knitting fail – I’m on a roll, eh?  Got to the heel of my ancient Vanilla Socks and realized I hadn’t increased for the wide par of the foot before reaching the heel.  Boo!  Lots of frogging there.  They won’t be ready for Knit Aid’s deadline.  http://www.knitaid.org/   Out and About I did not make it to Boston Fiber event – had some previous commitments that ran over.  Heard from some friends that they had a great time and saw pictures if beautiful, squishy yarn. Will be away next week visiting both my parents and my in-laws, so no episode next week.  But expect some Instagram posts involving pools or palm trees as we’re headed to Florida! On The Run I’m back :)  I've been cross-training and strength training and even hopped in the local YMCA pool for a few laps and discovered just how out of shape I am!

Episode 27 – Playing Catch Up Knitting and Running in 30 min or less Segments this week include: Fos, Wips, Stash, Out and About, On the Run and Patterns Be A Helper KAL - extended through January 6th so you can also participate in the Knitmore Girls Do Some Good KAL. FOs MIL hitchhiker shawl, pattern by Martina Behm, knit in Ito Yarn’s Kinu 100% silk Thing 2’s Christmas socks, 4 toddler vanilla socks knit in Plymouth Diversity in the Multi Blue Taube colorway which is self-striping white, taupe, aqua, navy and bright orange. Thing 1’s Christmas knee socks in Berroco Comfort Sock in Red Lillesand cowl by Monika Eckert for my aunt in some deep stash, Rozetti Yarns Soft Payette and Cascade Sateen Solids Blue baby socks for friend’s son, just a simple vanilla sock in some deep stash that I don’t remember the name of Husband’s super secret scarf in Pendenza by Plymouth Yarns.  At Thanksgiving, as I was audibly working mn my LAST Christmas gift,  he commented that I wasn’t making him anything for Christmas.   So when mom and I went shopping on Small Business Saturday I stopped into A Great Yarn in Chatham and bought this lovely gradient yard and knit him a Hitchhiker by Martina Behm, which I knit in secret and finished yesterday. Mom’s Christmas shawl – this is my new pattern, which hasn’t been released yet and I’ll talk more about it later, but I knit it in some Bernat worsted weight Handicrafter Holida yarn that I’ve had for a while, with the white on the lace edge and red for the body Wips My 1st non-vanilla socks! – Mahalo by Dana Gervais in CoBaSi by Hikoo My 2nd non-vanilla socks – Newlin by Sarak Jordan, aka Knit/Wit Designs – Berroco Comfort Sock and I’m working these on my brand new Size 2 Lykke needles to test them out. New shawl sample, hoping to release around Christmas, knitting it in Triyang, by Lee Meredith, in Araucania’s Yumbrel, a cotton thread/laceweight yarn in Pastels colorway, which is pastel peach, pink, blue and purple. Out and About Vogue Knitting in January!  It’s my birthday gift from my boys as it’s happening right around my birthday.  I’ll be there on the Friday so if you see me, say hello! Probably going to Stitches United in March in Hartford, CT.  Not planning on taking any classes at the moment, just enjoying the market and hanging out with people. Stash Rhinebeck: 9 skeins of bamboo dyed by Artisinal Yarns, 3 gold, 3 pink & gold blend, 3 pink with gold undertones.  Think I’m going to fade a Lush by Tin Can Knits and possibly make it in the round instead of a cardigan, since I’m always cold. 2600 yards of lace-weight bamboo dyed by Spinnaway Farms (so nice, btw) Pendenza by Plymouth Yarns, bought at A Great Yarn in Chatham, MA over the Thanksgiving holiday 1 mini-skein of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd sock in “ooak” colorway 2 skeins of Elsebeth Lavold’s Hempathy in Light Denim (looks more like a light purple) 1 skein of Firefly by Classic Elite in a warm pinky-beige colorway called Delos – destined to be embroidery on a Downton Abbey themed Garden Kimono sweater I knit years ago Fiber (!) – have not started spinning any of these 16 oz Green/Mocha/White Show Special by Little Barn -  a blend of 3 naturally occurring, undyed cottons, one which is tan, another greenish, and the third the traditional whitish. 2 oz Tussah Silk from Fiber Kingdom 1 oz Yak/silk blend from Liberty Ridge 1 oz camel/silk blend from Fiber Kingdom 2 oz Tencel from Fiber Kingdom 2oz Bamboo from Fiber Kingdom Patterns I bought 4 patterns during the Indie Design Gift-A-Long kal, including the 2 sock patterns I mentioned earlier, Newlin by Knit/Wit and Mahalo by Dana Gervais.  I also bought Peppermint Mocha by CC Almon of Java Purl Designs the Isis Talicoat by Kari-Helene Rane (Side note for clarity – this pattern was released in 2012 before the current jihadist movement and was named after the ancient Egyptian goddess) it looks like the old fashioned Victorian women’s tailcoat but without all the frilly nonsense.  It has a detailed edging but the body is stockinette and fits under the bust with a large decorative button, then the edges gently angle towards the hips.  I plan to wear this with knee high boots and leggings in the spring and fall as an indoor/outdoor coat. On The Run As I mentioned last week, I threw my back out again after Rhinebeck and finally went to the doctor, the result of which is I’m now in physical therapy, again.  It’s been about 4 weeks now and I am seeing definite progress.  I am already stronger and I’ve been cleared to start basic exercises, within reason. No running yet, but I’m walking a few days a week and learned today that I can swim, ride my bike or even row if I take it slow and easy to start.  So I am very excited to get back out there.  With the PT I’ve been concentrating on strength training since my last On The Run segment, for obvious reasons, and it is definitely paying off.  My shoulders and upper back are a lot stronger and I’m starting to work on the middle and lower back and transverse abdomis, which is your central core muscle, what lays under your 6-pack abs (or lack thereof, in my case) and it’s the muscle that actually holds you upright.  Having a stronger core is awesome and I know will help me a lot in running once I’m cleared to start that.  In the show notes I am linking to some articles on Transverse Abdominis workouts that could help you. So if you want to work your abs, focus on your transverse abdominus, NOT a 6-pack.  Crunches make your tummy look pretty but it won’t make you stronger.  Try exercises like planks, modified planks, side planks, wood chops, burpees, or dead bugs – and as always, please check with a medical professional if you have any pain, especially any recurring pain.  I am not a medical professional, I am only trying to arm you with knowledge.    

Welcome back to The Real Brian Show! On this installment of the podcast, before a brief hiatus as we break for Thanksgiving, we welcome Shear Terror (Morgan) back to the show. Did you know that Brian is 13" taller than Morgan? Yeah. Seriously. But height makes no different on a podcast, right? Our differences make us unique and give us unique experiences and give us a variety that makes life so well rounded. But our differences also cause bias, division and derision. Why? Oh, let us count the ways. In This Episode CSU Basketball Guild Wars... and making money What Feminism really means Stop the hate! Communication is suffering Stop the Hate Morgan and Brian (not to be confused with USWNT superstar Morgan Brian) have a great discussion about how the claws of feminism have turned something that is intrinsically good - the fight for equality in the value of human life, regardless of differences - into something that hurts the people who the cause claims is hurting them. Equality embraces differences, looking beyond what makes us unique, and valuing each person as a human being, as a unique individual. Maybe you think that it's easy to say because I'm [fill in the blank]. Or it's easy to say, but harder to do. But just like everything else in life, how we treat others is a choice we make. If, when you think on it, you realize that the way you treat others is more reactionary than a conscious decision, then maybe it's time to step back and teach yourself some new habits. I'm thinking of someone in my life, as I type this, who I've developed a bad habit of snapping at when I can't easily convey my point. I'm very aware of the differences between us and even why I snap, but I become so impatient that it causes that divide between us to keep expanding. The biggest takeaway from the episode, we hope, is an encouragement to acknowledge the differences between yourself and the people who surround you and learn how to work with them instead of against them. Maybe it means listening to a point of view you disagree with, maybe it means keeping your mouth shut when you were about to say something mean. Words can be used to create and destroy, and if they're doing both at once then something is not right. If by building one person up, another is brought down... a new approach needs to be had.
