Story at-a-glance Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious condition where jawbone dies and fails to heal, and it's been linked to common bone drugs like bisphosphonates and denosumab A Finnish study found that people taking denosumab were five times more likely to develop MRONJ than those using bisphosphonates, with cancer patients and long-term users at highest risk Adding corticosteroids to bone drugs significantly worsened outcomes, multiplying the risk of jaw disease by up to six times in some users MRONJ often begins after dental procedures like extractions, but it also develops in people with gum disease or dentures — even without dental intervention Preventive dental care, a nutrient-rich diet, and lifestyle habits that support natural bone repair offer your best defense against this disfiguring and painful condition

Send us a textI've trained for endurance in all kinds of ways—some smart, some not-so-much. This week, I'm sharing how I built a jogging routine that actually works with my life, not against it. Whether I'm prepping for a thru-hike or squeezing in a jog before the day takes over, I've learned that movement can be reshaped to meet you exactly where you are.If you've ever wanted to jog but felt too slow, too tired, or too unsure of where to begin, I've been there. I'm bringing you stories from the trail, from the road, and from those early days when two miles felt like an event. I'll also share the strategy that kept me from falling off track—especially when motivation faded—and what I've learned from my own missteps (literally).This one's for the folks who want more energy without spending all day chasing it. If you've got a pair of shoes and a few spare minutes, you're already closer than you think. Meet me in this episode, and let's explore what a jogging practice can become when you let go of the noise and start with the smallest, clearest step.Quote of the week:“I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought.” —Arthur BlankRESEARCH CITATIONS1.    Lee, D.C., Pate, R.R., Lavie, C.J., Sui, X., Church, T.S., & Blair, S.N.

Dr. Charlotte Hacker discusses the complex genetics behind why dogs get cancer. Despite common beliefs, larger animals like elephants and blue whales rarely get cancer due to high levels of tumor suppressor genes like p53. Unfortunately, dogs' genetic makeup, influenced by rapid, human-directed breeding practices, makes them particularly susceptible to cancer.   Dr. Hacker explains the role of DNA, mutations, proto-oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes in cancer development. She emphasizes variability across breeds, hereditary and spontaneous mutations, and environmental factors like UV light. Preventive measures for genetic and spontaneous mutations in dogs, common cancer-related genes in different breeds, and the promise of emerging research in fields like epigenetics are also discussed.  Your Voice Matters!   If you have a question for our team, or if you want to share your own hopeful dog cancer story, we want to hear from you!

Say we had credible intelligence about an impending terrorist attack or major acts of violence, what actions are justifiable to prevent these crimes from occurring? How do we balance the urgency of preventing harm, with the importance of safeguarding civil liberties?“We have to make trade-offs all the time, and there's no jurisprudence to that trade-off. We live in the preventive state,” says Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School. “We are moving more and more toward replacing deterrence and reaction with prevention.”He is the author of the new book, “The Preventive State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential Liberties.”Should someone charged—but not convicted—with a serious crime be denied bail to potentially prevent further crimes? Should governments be able to compel inoculations in a scenario where that could actually prevent deadly contagion? And notably, a few days after this interview was filmed, Israel launched preemptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. When is such preventive military action warranted?In this episode, we dive into the legal framework laid out in his new book—which he describes as the most important work he's ever written—and get his insights into the debate around deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles, the Trump administration's clash with Harvard University, the dilemma of tackling Chinese espionage on college campuses, and the growing erosion of free speech protections in Europe.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Bird Flu: Emergence, Dangers, and Preventive Measures In the United States in January 2025 alone, approximately 20 million commercially-raised birds, mostly egg-laying hens, were affected by the highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1). These numbers are staggering yet barely scratch the surface of a potentially larger threat looming over the country. If action is not taken now, the next pandemic could be far deadlier than the 1918 influenza and COVID-19. Listen to today's episode written by Dr. Michael Greger at @NutritionFacts.org.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Tom Morrissey, founder of Solo Health Collective and a seasoned veteran in the health insurance world, to unpack the complex—and often misunderstood—landscape of healthcare for self-employed professionals. With a career spanning decades at Cigna and deep experience serving everyone from major corporations to solo entrepreneurs, Tom shares how he's dedicated his life to helping small business owners and solopreneurs access quality, affordable health coverage. Despite his success in the large-account space, Tom noticed an unmet need: Small and mid-sized businesses were often overlooked by health insurers and weren't given access to innovative cost-saving or health improvement solutions that benefited the bigger corporations.  If you're a personal trainer, group ex instructor, wellness coach, massage therapist, or any professional running your own business, this conversation is a game changer. Tom explains the differences between HMO and PPO plans, why traditional ACA ("Affordable Care Act") options can fall short for the self-employed, and how his company's unique group plan model is designed to deliver robust coverage (including preventive care and nationwide access) with transparent pricing and minimal out-of-pocket surprises. Plus, hear about partnerships with organizations like the Freelancers Union, and learn how innovative features like HSAs can work for you—even covering perks like fitness classes. On the healthcare issues facing entrepreneurs, Morrissey states, "We saw the growth. It depends on who you listen to, but estimates are that there'll be 90M solo business, owners by 2028. I want to say there's about 60M now. The guys and gals that own these businesses . . . I think, especially when they're young and healthy, are the ones that get screwed the most in healthcare. You know? All they really have access to is ACA plans." Key themes discussed Challenges of health insurance for solopreneurs and self-employed. Differences between PPO and HMO health plans. Underwriting and rate-setting for solo business owners. Preventive care coverage and HSA/HSA usage changes. Brand trust versus new insurance providers like Solo Health Collective. Partnerships with organizations such as Freelancers Union. Long-term cost sustainability for healthier insurance collectives. A few key takeaways:  1. Solo Health Plans Are Filling a Major Gap: Morrissey explains how traditional health insurance often overlooks solopreneurs and small business owners, especially in the HALO space. His company, Healthy Business Group via Solo Health Collective, is designed specifically to provide comprehensive PPO health plans to solo business owners—offering an alternative with more flexibility and better coverage than typical limited-network ACA and HMO options. 2. Key Plan Advantages-PPO Access and Maximum Out-of-Pocket Clarity: Unlike many ACA or HMO plans that limit provider networks and access, Solo Health Collective offers nationwide PPO plans, granting members broader access to healthcare providers. They also have a straightforward approach: After the deductible is met, there's no coinsurance—meaning your deductible is the absolute maximum you'll pay out-of-pocket for covered expenses (with all preventative care covered in full and not applied to the deductible). 3. Plans Are Designed for Solo Business Owners With Medical Underwriting: To qualify, you must have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and be a business owner without employees. Members go through a quick, five-question medical underwriting process, which allows the plan to provide tailored age, and location-based rates—often significantly less expensive than standard individual policies, especially for young, healthy professionals. 4. HSAs and Innovative Usage for Wellness Are Embraced: The plan supports health savings accounts (HSAs), and Tom shared how, thanks to evolving IRS guidelines and technology, people can now use HSA funds for things like fitness classes and certain wellness purchases, expanding the value of pre-tax health dollars and encouraging preventive care and healthy lifestyles. 5. Long-Term Value and Stability Solo Health Collective is built on a self-insured, level-funded model supported by robust reinsurance (Odyssey A+ rated.) This allows the collective to stabilize costs and potentially keep renewal increases lower than the industry average—especially as it pools healthier, proactive members like those in the wellness and fitness industries. The long-term goal is to create a sustainable, affordable health insurance solution specifically for entrepreneurs who have historically been underserved.

Emergency preparedness is a term you're likely familiar with regarding Health & Safety, but its application is also a key part of the Best Practice Environmental Management Standard, ISO 14001.  ISO 14001 aims to help organisations reduce their overall impact on the environment, and this includes mitigating and responding to any incidents that may adversely affect factors such as biodiversity and water quality in areas where your business is based. While not applicable to every industry, there are many which need to take greater responsibility in the event of an environmental incident. ISO 14001 provides key guidance in how to create effective processes to ensure you respond swiftly, and in alignment with the law. In this episode Ian Battersby explains what is meant by emergency preparedness and response within ISO 14001, and how that can apply to your business. You'll learn ·      What is emergency preparedness and response in ISO 14001? ·      How do you approach Clause 8.2 in ISO 14001? ·      Planning for an environmental emergency ·      Definitions of different types of emergency ·      How can you prevent an environmental emergency?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      Learn more about ISO 14001   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Ian explains the purpose of clause 8.2 in ISO 14001, emergency preparedness and response. [02:35] What is meant by ‘emergency preparedness and response' in ISO 14001?: Many will be familiar with emergency preparedness and response in relation to Health and Safety. In Standards such as ISO 45001, it's about ensuring there are plans in place to reasonably foresee and prevent any serious harm to a person or persons affected by our activities The aim with Clause 8.2 in ISO 14001 is to minimise the risk an organisation poses to the environment. Though, these aren't mutually exclusive and some environmental response plans can prevent harm to both people and the environment. Ian seeks to clarify this clause further as many have a tendency to point towards their fire evacuation plan and fire drills as the first piece of evidence when demonstrating conformity to clause 8.2 in ISO 14001. While fire is very violent to the environment once it's occurred, the evacuation of people during such an event building offers little in the way of an environmental response. [05:10] Breaking down Clause 8.2: Clause 8.1 states: “The organization shall establish, implement and maintain the process(es) needed to prepare for and respond to potential emergency situations identified in 6.1.1.” Like with many Standards, it references an early clause where you should be identifying the relevant emergency situations. Clause 6 focuses on risk and opportunities, and in the case of ISO 14001 this is where you'll establish your environmental aspects and compliance obligations. Specifically, Clause 6.1.2 states: “Within the defined scope of the environmental management system, the organization shall determine the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that it can control and those that it can influence, and their associated environmental impacts.” This would take into consideration any abnormal conditions and reasonably foreseeable emergency situations. So, this is where you should already have established the emergency situations for which you need to plan for.  Risk management is a core of the standards and planning for emergency situations is a core of risk management.  You don't write plans in isolation; you will have already established what's important. [07:30] Planning for emergency: As stated in Clause 8.2: “The organization shall plan: a)    to take actions to address its risks b)    how to: 1)    integrate into environmental management system or other business processes; 2)    evaluate the effectiveness of these actions.” This is all part of the familiar PDCA cycle. From Ian's perspective as an auditor, he won't look at emergency plans first, instead looking at an organisations Aspects & Impacts Assessment. The standard isn't prescriptive on how you assess the impact of what you do or the risks.  The methodology is your choice, but it is very explicit in that the content must include abnormal conditions and reasonably foreseeable emergency situations. [09:40] What are the definitions for different types of emergency situations? Normal situations are when everything operates as intended, Business as usual, the day-to-day activities you expect: E.G. Standard operation of machinery, a vehicle getting from A to B without issue. Abnormal situations are when things aren't quite right, not catastrophic, but not business as usual; you can still achieve your intended outcome, but maybe not as quickly or efficiently: E.G. machinery running inefficiently or perhaps using more fuel or lubricant than usual. They don't necessarily require an emergency plan, but you may want to monitor the severity of such situations and their potential for significant impact if unaddressed. Emergency situations are serious events requiring immediate attention and which could cause significant environmental impacts. The type of emergency situation that could possibly occur will depend on the type of organisation, but common ones include fire or chemical / fuel spill. [11:30] What is required by the Standard? – As stated: You are required to: A) plan to respond to prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impacts from emergencies; (not human) B) respond to actual emergencies; C) prevent or mitigate the consequences of emergencies; D) periodically test the planned response; E) review and revise the process, in particular after the occurrence of emergency or test; F) provide relevant information and training, to relevant interested parties, including persons working under its control. [13:00] Examples of Emergency Situations – We'll look at a common one, fire. There are still 22,000 workplace fires in the UK each year, which is a significant environmental impact. That amounts to approximately 2,700 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This in addition to the atmospheric toxins, ground/water contamination, resource loss, waste etc.  So, in considering fire as an environmental emergency, these are the impacts. IOSH states that the most common cause for workplace fires is faulty or misused electrical equipment, followed by flammable/combustible materials, dirt and clutter, human error, smoking and cooking. One thing to note about those causes is that they are generally required to be controlled by specific legislation. So, you would be looking for a link between compliance obligations (or legal) register, the Aspects & Impacts Assessment and the controls in place to minimise the risks identified in both. Faulty electrics would stand out, so you would look at what measures could be put in place to prevent such faults occurring, including: ·      Preventive maintenance of equipment ·      Inspection and testing of electrical fixed wiring ·      Portable appliance testing By demonstrating the processes in place to address these, you can evidence compliance obligations and the planning to reduce the possibility of an emergency situation arising. However, a fire may still occur [15:40] Example emergency situation – Prevention: – You should look at the planning to prevent such a situation escalating into a full-blown emergency in order to prevent the environmental impact. This could include: ·      The maintenance, inspection and testing of fire detection or suppression systems ·      The inspection and servicing of firefighting equipment. ·      Firefighting equipment training for personnel Based on what you know about the causes of fire, you should examine smoking policies/practices, catering equipment maintenance, housekeeping, hazardous material management etc. Proof of fire drills alone enough when it comes to emergency preparedness and response in ISO 14001. Especially from an auditor's perspective, as how can you prove that your fire drills are useful in minimising the impact on the environment? [17:15] Other emergency situations – Spillage: An area where you can more readily see that preparedness and response directly affects the environmental outcome is where there has been a spillage of some kind. A spill of a lubricant on a shop floor, for instance, has the potential to cause a slip hazard, affecting the safety of people.  The preventive measures, again, have similarities regardless of whether we're talking safety or environment, but do differ in that we're trying to prevent the lubricant then reaching the outside world and contaminating ground or water; that's the environmental impact.  Waste disposal associated with the mopping of a spill; you may be dealing with hazardous waste, which must be disposed of in a controlled fashion under the law.

In this insightful episode of "Shark Theory," Baylor Barbee delves into the importance of maintaining mental health proactively. He shares his personal experience of taking a deliberate mental health day, not out of necessity due to stress or burnout, but as a preventive measure to ensure continued wellness and productivity. Baylor's day of relaxation included activities such as hiking with his dog, playing golf, and engaging in self-care routines like enjoying a sauna session. Through this reflection, he encourages listeners to prioritize mental health before reaching a breaking point. Baylor emphasizes the critical nature of mental endurance, asserting that the mind often succumbs to limitations far before the body does. He shares the statistic that when individuals feel they've reached their physical limit, they are typically only at about 40% of their true capacity. This statistic underscores the significance of mental fortitude in achieving personal and professional goals. Baylor encourages listeners to push past perceived mental limits to unlock untapped potential. By maintaining excellent mental health, individuals can avoid stagnation and embrace a life of fulfillment and achievement. Key Takeaways: Prioritizing mental health is essential for sustaining long-term well-being and effectiveness. Preventive mental health days can provide rejuvenation and help avoid burnout. The mind often reaches limits before the body, highlighting the need for mental resilience. Pushing past perceived limits can lead to significant personal growth and realization of untapped potential. Continuous self-care and mental health maintenance lead to high-level functioning and improved life quality. Notable Quotes: "We have to infinitely take more care of our minds." "The only limits that you really truly have are those that you agree with in your mind." "If your mind goes, everything else goes with it." "It's so much harder to recover when things aren't going well than it is to stay healthy." "You can't operate from a less and weakened version of yourself."

Prevention isn't about fear or perfectionism—it's about tuning into your body's intelligence and responding with balance and awareness.Have you considered how your body sometimes whispers warnings before health issues become serious problems? As someone who ignored those whispers until thyroid cancer forced me to listen, I'm passionate about helping young women develop health awareness and midlife women and beyond.I explore the rise in autoimmune conditions among women, how 80% of diagnoses are women, and how modern lifestyle factors contribute to this trend. Your body gives subtle signs long before serious illness develops, but only if you're paying attention. From disrupted circadian rhythms to constant digital stimulation, from highly processed foods to toxic personal care products, young women today face unprecedented challenges to their well-being.I share practical wisdom about reconnecting with your body's signals: eating whole foods when possible, setting healthy boundaries with technology, prioritizing restorative sleep, maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, and addressing emotional wellbeing. I also discuss the profound mind-body connection, particularly how unprocessed emotions and self-criticism can manifest physically.This conversation isn't about scolding or restriction—it's about empowerment through awareness. When you're truly in your body and listening to its wisdom, you naturally make choices that support balance and vibrant health.

For this special episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, Andrew Barnell, CEO of Geneoscopy, joins Justin Venneri in the studio for an insightful discussion about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in observance of National CRC Awareness Month! Andrew explains how he and his "very talented" sister, Erica Barnell, MD, PhD, co-founded Geneoscopy to develop diagnostic tests using RNA biomarkers extracted from stool samples. Their newly FDA-approved test, ColoSense™, provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopies.Barnell highlights the rising incidence of CRC in younger adults, which prompted guideline changes to lower the recommended screening age to 45. He stresses the urgent need for increased screening awareness and greater access to screening tools, noting that employers can help overcome barriers to screening through education and by encouraging engagement in wellness programs. Other topics covered include:Over 135,000 people are diagnosed with CRC every year, and despite CRC being one of the most preventable cancers with good long-term survival rates following treatment, 50,000 people die from it annually.

“Blood pressure is an important marker – the first red light on the dashboard that something is amiss.” – Dr. Ellie CampbellCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women. As practitioners, it's crucial that we're thinking about preventative care strategies and measuring blood pressure as a public health service to all of our patients. It's the first signal that something is out of balance with the body.While we don't think about it a lot, oral health and airway health are also significant, but often quiet, contributors to cardiovascular issues that we should proactively assess in our patients. Comprehensive screening and monitoring of these cardiovascular risk factors, especially for midlife women, can make all the difference in preventing serious health events.Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with Integrative Family Medicine physician Dr. Ellie Campbell. Dr. Campbell advocates for a whole-body view of health management and believes that we need to shift how healthcare providers view and address the interconnectedness of oral health and cardiovascular wellness to achieve better patient outcomes.In this conversation, Dr. Campbell and I discuss the connections between cardiovascular and oral health, why regular blood pressure and oral health screenings are essential, the new guidelines for blood pressure, special considerations for women in midlife, preventative strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, the role of our lifestyle choices, the impact of COVID-19 and long COVID on cardiovascular health, supporting the immune system, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/top-preventive-tests-every-woman-should-have-to-prevent-stroke-and-heart-attack-with-integrative-family-medicine-physician-dr-ellie-campbell-do/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).
