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. Share this episode with a young woman in your life who could benefit from these insights, and remember—balanced living works!Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

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. Preventive screenings are increasingly covered with no patient out-of-pocket costs, but insurers' expenses are rising.Increasing early screening is crucial: 30-40% of eligible individuals remain unscreened, particularly in the 45-49 age group.Geneoscopy's decentralized clinical trial and overall use of technology to conduct its pivotal FDA approval study virtually, which increased patient diversity and efficiency.Regulatory challenges remain: FDA approval is just one step; Medicare coverage and guideline inclusion are key hurdles.Bringing targeted therapy approaches to autoimmune diseases like IBD to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs is Geneoscopy's next goal.Related ContentMultitarget Stool RNA Test for Colorectal Cancer Screening.

In pavement management, quick fixes refer to reactive, surface-level treatments—such as thin overlays, minor patching, or superficial sealants—applied without addressing underlying structural or subgrade issues. Short-term budget constraints or schedule pressures often drive them, but they bypass critical processes like condition assessment, design verification, and material suitability.While these solutions may temporarily improve ride quality or visual appearance, they fail to resolve the root causes of deterioration, leading to accelerated fatigue, rutting, moisture ingress, and repeated intervention cycles.In this episode, We are joined by Firas Noun, Senior Project Engineer at Pavement Management Services, to unpack why these shortcuts lead to:Technical failures – early cracking, base instability, and structural failureEconomic waste – frequent rework, inflated lifecycle costs, and poor return on investmentLegal exposure – safety breaches, environmental non-compliance, and liability riskCompromised safety – increased hazards for road users due to degraded performanceWe also explore best practices for long-term performance:✅ Qualified engineering input✅ Durable, fit-for-purpose materials✅ Preventive maintenance and asset planning✅ Compliance and regular condition monitoringLet's start the year by committing to sustainable, evidence-based road maintenance—not reactive fixes.

“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/).

In this compelling conversation Paul and Tom discuss the impact of over-parenting on children's mental health, touching on themes like discomfort tolerance and the necessity of facing challenges for long-term development. We also delve into corporate well-being, noting the limitations and potential of digital technology in engagement and motivation. Our talk concludes with discussions on broader psychological theories, practical tips for parenting, and the emerging field of digital well-being tools.What You'll Learn: The Illusion of Perpetual Happiness and the Reality of Emotional Health: A significant portion of our discussion challenges the cultural obsession with happiness. Paul and Tom debunk the myth that mental health equates to constant happiness. Instead, they emphasize the importance of emotional diversity and resilience. Life’s adversities are natural, and overcoming them is essential for true well-being. Building Resilience in Children - A Call to Action for Parents: We delve into current parenting trends and the growing culture of overprotection, which might inadvertently hinder children’s ability to handle life’s challenges. The conversation advocates for fostering resilience through exposure to manageable risks and challenges, thus preparing children for the complexities of adulthood. The Corporate Challenge - Digitising Well-being in the Workplace: The discussion extends to the corporate world, where similar challenges of engagement and well-being are observed. The rise of digital technology opens new pathways and opportunities for fostering employee health, yet it requires thoughtful implementation to truly enhance well-being. Knowledge is Power in Reversing Mental Health Trends: We wrap up with an optimistic message: while there are significant concerns about the current mental health landscape, particularly among youth, there is hope. Preventive strategies and educational programs are making strides, but broader implementation is needed to make a substantial difference. Key Takeaways: Mental health is about balance and resilience, not perpetual happiness. Encourage resilience in children by allowing them to experience challenges.

Many people don't realize that cavities and gum disease are chronic inflammatory diseases that require treatment.Addressing periodontal disease can lead to reductions in medical costs related to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.Preventive measures, like proper brushing, flossing, and limiting sugar, are crucial for avoiding most oral diseases.Resources:Connect with and follow Dr. Maria Ryan on LinkedIn.Discover more about Colgate-Palmolive on LinkedIn and their website.

Takeaways Patients are increasingly burdened by high deductibles and copays. Practices must ensure they collect patient financial responsibilities upfront. Consultants can provide valuable insights into managing patient costs effectively. Telehealth services must adhere to strict compliance guidelines. Routine waiving of deductibles can lead to legal issues for providers. Modernizing billing processes is essential for patient satisfaction. Preventive services should be prioritized to maximize reimbursement. Blanket orders for lab tests are not compliant with regulations. Providers must clearly communicate costs to patients before services are rendered. Maintaining compliance is crucial for the sustainability of healthcare practices. Medical necessity is crucial for appropriate patient care. Standing orders can lead to unnecessary tests and costs. Patients may face increased financial responsibilities due to blanket orders. Genetic testing must be medically indicated, not patient-requested. Healthcare providers should be aware of the legal implications of their orders. Telehealth codes are still in flux and require careful navigation. Consultants can help practices optimize their billing and compliance processes. Regular audits can uncover missed opportunities for reimbursement. Laboratory services must be treated as medical services with proper documentation. Staying informed about changes in healthcare regulations is essential.

Editor's Summary by Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Editor in Chief, and Christopher C. Muth, MD, Deputy Editor of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, for articles published from January 18-24, 2025.

Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances, discusses a recently published original research paper on Preventive Lipid-Lowering Therapy and Interactions With Health Care in Patients Who Develop Premature Coronary Artery Disease.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis speaks with Dr. Ryan Maves, an infectious disease physician, about dengue fever, a significant tropical disease. They discuss the epidemiology, clinical presentation, management, and prevention strategies for dengue, emphasizing the importance of recognizing warning signs and providing supportive care. Dr. Maves shares insights from his extensive experience in tropical medicine, particularly during his time in the Navy and in Peru, where he conducted research on dengue and other vector-borne diseases. The conversation highlights the increasing relevance of dengue in both civilian and military contexts, especially in light of climate change and urbanization. Takeaways Dengue fever is part of the flavivirus family, which includes Zika and chikungunya. The disease is primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which thrives in urban areas. Dengue can cause severe morbidity, particularly in non-endemic populations. Management of dengue is largely supportive, with a focus on fluid resuscitation. Warning signs of severe dengue include persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and altered mental status. Preventive measures include using insect repellent and controlling standing water. Dengue is endemic in many tropical regions, including parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia. Vaccines for dengue exist but are not widely available for adults. Dengue can present with a wide spectrum of symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Public health strategies are crucial in controlling dengue outbreaks.

Edition No71 | 01-01-2025 - As the slide toward dictatorship in Georgia accelerates, this episode will review the mechanics of law that mark an increasingly repressive and desperate regime. As we've examined in previous episodes, the Georgia Dream party has now ripped off the mask and shed any last vestige of ambiguity they are a Kremlin proxy party that is intent on deconstructing Georgia's fragile democracy and subverting institutions that have been evolving since independence to bring rule of law and civic liberties to society. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- Here is a summary of the laws brough in, posted on X by the excellent Anna Gvarishvili, who has been a recent guest on this channel. The following restrictions have bene rushed into law, and will take effect on Dec. 30: 1. Drivers joining protests with processions: If police determine such actions obstruct traffic, drivers will be fined 1,000 Lari and have driving license suspended for a year. 2. Unauthorized protest stencils/signs/posters: Fines for damaging the city's appearance have been increased from 50 Lari to up to 1,000 Lari. 3. Blocking roads during protests: can lead to a fine on each person of 5,000 Lari (a 10-fold increase in the fine for this offence). Those deemed to be organizers, can face fines of 15,000 Lari. This rule also applies to violations under Georgia's “Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations,” including blocking building entrances. Instead of a fine, administrative detention of up to 15 days can also be imposed. 4. Presence of pyrotechnics at protests: Regardless of whether they are used, individuals will be fined 5,000 Lari. If this is deemed an organized act, the organizer may face a fine of 15,000 Lari. Administrative detention of up to 15 days may also be applied instead of a fine. 5. Possession of laser or bright light-emitting devices: 2,000 Lari fine. 6. Covering one's face with masks or other means: This will result in a 2,000 Lari fine. 7. Minors at protests: If a minor is deemed to have violated Article 173 (disobedience to lawful police demands), their parents will be fined for improper upbringing, with fines ranging from 100 to 300 Lari. This is the one that triggered the title of this episode, and it has sinister connotations of the pre-crime detection unit in the Sci-Fi book, Minority Report. 8. Preventive detention: Police can now detain individuals preventively, assuming they may commit an offense based on prior violations. 9. Detention for court appearance: Police can detain individuals solely to ensure their appearance in court, even if they do not refuse to attend voluntarily. This provision allows police to detain someone even if no case has yet been filed in court. 10. Expanded grounds for personal and property searches: Personal searches, inspections of items, and confiscation of belongings and documents are now permitted under these same grounds. ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://oc-media.org/from-fireworks-to-the-public-sector-georgian-dream-introduces-new-legislation-amid-protests/ https://oc-media.org/us-sanctions-bidzina-ivanishvili/ https://eurasianet.org/georgia-government-set-to-pass-laws-bolstering-police-state https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-sanctions-georgian-officials-responsible-for-brutal-crackdown-on-media-and-protestors https://civil.ge/archives/645520 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crk01xyd22eo https://oc-media.org/when-we-get-in-the-minibus-the-fun-will-start-how-georgian-police-torture-detained-protesters/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/27/lets-see-who-will-be-leaving-georgias-presidential-standoff-nears-crunch-point ----------

In this eye-opening episode, CJ and Dr Ljudmila Vukosavljević dive into the profound connection between our emotions and physical health. Dr Ljudmila Vukosavljević, a pioneer in Quantum Medicine and Acu-Medicine, reveals how our daily habits, emotional well-being, and exposure to environmental factors play a critical role in shaping our health. They explore how Quantum Medicine provides solutions to health problems often overlooked by conventional medicine.Key TakeawaysQuantum Medicine's Holistic Approach:Quantum Medicine addresses the physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances in the body.It focuses on the energetic frequencies of cells, tissues, and organs to identify and treat disturbances.The Biological Clock and Organ Health:Each organ has specific times when it is most active (e.g., the liver is most active between 1-3 a.m.).Understanding these timings can help manage emotions and physical health (e.g., anger is linked to the liver, sadness to the lungs).Stress as an Energy Borrower:Chronic stress drains energy from essential bodily functions, leading to visible signs like hair loss or graying.The body signals stress through symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or sleep disturbances.The Importance of Proper Sleep and Eating Habits:Eating calmly and during the appropriate times supports digestion and overall health.Poor sleep disrupts detoxification processes and memory consolidation, impacting energy levels.Preventive and Holistic Care:Addressing emotional scars, environmental toxins, and improper habits prevents long-term health issues.Quantum Medicine complements conventional medicine for preventive care and chronic conditions.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayFollow the Biological Clock: Align your sleep, eating, and activity patterns with the organ-specific energy peaks. For example:Sleep by 11 p.m. to support the gallbladder and liver.Have breakfast between 7-9 a.m. for optimal stomach function.Adopt Intentional Eating Habits:Take 10 minutes to sit calmly and enjoy your meals.Avoid eating while multitasking or under stress to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.Hydrate Properly:Prioritize drinking pure, still water over diuretics like coffee or energy drinks.Hydration supports cellular communication and detoxification.Practice Daily Gratitude and Positivity:Start your day with Dr. Ludmilla's "5-5-5" method: write 5 things that make you smile, 5 goals, and 5 moments of gratitude.Listen to Your Body's Whispers:Pay attention to early signs of imbalance, such as fatigue or mild discomfort, to prevent chronic issues.Seek professional help when needed and explore holistic approaches like Quantum Medicine.Closing ThoughtThis episode emphasizes that health is deeply connected to how we manage emotions, align with natural rhythms, and create space for self-care. As Dr. Ludmilla beautifully states: “If you don't listen to the whisper, you'll listen to the storm.” Take small steps today to create a healthier, more balanced life.

The Lancet Volume 403, Issue 10438 p1753-1765May 04, 2024Background Cardiologist have long been taught that acute plaque rupture leading to myocardial infarction is more likely to come from non-flow-limiting lipid-rich atherosclerotic plaques. The concept of the vulnerable plaque is surely one of the reasons that revascularization of high-grade stable coronary artery disease does not reduce myocardial infraction or death over optimal medical therapy.The search for and treatment of the vulnerable plaque remains one of the important research areas in modern cardiology. South Korean investigators set out to test whether PCI of non-flow-limiting, high-risk vulnerable plaques identified by intracoronary imaging would reduce major adverse cardiac outcomes over medical therapy in the Preventive percutaneous coronary intervention versus optimal medical therapy alone for the treatment of vulnerable atherosclerotic coronary plaques (PREVENT).Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Patients Patients were recruited in the cardiac catheterization lab. Both ACS and stable CAD patients were included. FFR was done to exclude significant flow limitations. Clinically relevant lesions with an FFR ≤ 0.80 underwent PCI with a drug-eluting stent before randomization.All untreated, non-culprit lesions (ie, those that were clearly not responsible for the presenting clinical syndrome) with an angiographic diameter stenosis of 50% or more by site visual estimation were functionally assessed by fractional flow reserve.Then, intermediate non-flow-limiting lesions (FFR >0.80) were assessed by intra-coronary imaging—with one of four techniques (at the discretion of the operator). These included grey-scale intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS), radiofrequency intravascular ultrasonography, a combination of grey-scale intravascular ultrasonography and near-infrared spectroscopy, or optical coherence tomography (OCT).Vulnerable plaques were defined as lesions possessing at least two of the following four characteristics: a minimal lumen area of less than 4·0 mm2 by IVUS or OCT; a plaque burden of more than 70% by IVUS; a lipid-rich plaque by near-infrared spectroscopy (defined as maximum lipid core burden index within any 4 mm pullback length [maxLCBI4mm] >315); or a thin-cap fibroatheroma detected by radiofrequency intravascular ultrasonography or optical coherence tomography (defined as a ≥10% confluent necrotic core with >30° abutting the lumen in three consecutive frames on radiofrequency intravascular ultrasonography or as a lipid plaque with arc >90° and fibrous cap thickness

With a deep passion for health and wellness, Melanie's journey into holistic nutrition began as a personal quest to reclaim her health after experiencing adverse side effects from hormonal birth control. Her professional background includes being a holistic nutrition consultant, and she is actively involved in the empowerment of women to make informed decisions about their health. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of The Chris Voss Show, Chris Voss sits down with Melanie Hunter, founder of Alii Supplements, who shares her personal journey and professional insights into the holistic nutrition space. Focused on addressing the often overlooked side effects of hormonal birth control, Melanie brings to light the importance of nutrient replenishment and gut health. Her mission to inform and support women facing similar challenges is at the core of her business model at Ally Supplements. The discussion delves deep into the intricacies of hormonal birth control, its impact on women's health, and how Alii Supplements are designed to bridge the nutrient gaps it creates. Melanie also highlights her upcoming products tailored for individuals on antidepressants and anticonvulsants, emphasizing the broader need for awareness about drug-induced nutrient depletion. With her background in holistic nutrition, Melanie advocates for an approach that incorporates lifestyle changes, proper supplementation, and an understanding of our body's natural rhythms for optimal health and wellbeing. Key Takeaways: Hormonal birth control can significantly deplete essential nutrients in the body, leading to various side effects. Alii Supplements are crafted to replenish these nutrients and support women's health, especially focusing on gut health. The gut is considered our second brain, and maintaining its health is crucial for overall wellbeing and mood stabilization. Melanie Hunter's mission is not anti-medication but pro-awareness and support for those on hormonal and other long-term medications. Preventive care and self-advocacy are critical in managing long-term health outcomes, especially concerning drug-induced nutrient depletion. Notable Quotes: "How could she have not been informed about this? Fueled by her frustration and armed with newfound knowledge, I embarked on a mission to create a solution." "It's not about being anti-medication. It's about meeting people where they are and supporting their bodies during these times." "Gut health is everything… serotonin is produced in the microbiome, and it affects your mood." "It's so much easier to prevent these things and take care of yourself than to try to reverse them later." "With Alii Supplements, we're here to bridge the gap and minimize side effects for people on various medications."

"Does my crush love me? I really need to know.""Do you think we're living in the most advanced civilization that has ever inhabited Earth?""King Crimson was at their peak with Wetton, David Cross and Bruford, but Taylor Swift is a billionaire. STEFAN - have you heard Mozart's newly discovered 'A Very Little Night Music'?""What's your opinion of Jordan Peterson's work?""Is statism collapsing?""Is your book available in hardcover?""What's your favorite heavy metal band?""is the traditional Catholicism the most based thing on the Earth?""What happened to your YouTube channel?""Do you think these problems with NAP can be resolved?"The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP), is a libertarian ethical stance that argues that aggression—defined as the initiation of force or fraud against another person's property or person—is inherently immoral. While the principle has intuitive appeal, it faces significant philosophical, practical, and ethical challenges that undermine its universality and application."1. Ambiguity in Defining "Aggression""Subjectivity of Aggression: The NAP relies on a clear definition of "aggression," yet many actions can be interpreted as aggressive or non-aggressive depending on perspective. For instance:"If someone refuses to vaccinate during a pandemic, is that an act of aggression by endangering others' health, or is forcing them to vaccinate aggression?"Pollution from a factory might harm others, but is it aggression if the harm is indirect and unintended?"This ambiguity makes it difficult to apply the NAP consistently."2. Lack of a Mechanism for Collective Action"Addressing Collective Problems:"The NAP is highly individualistic and struggles to address issues that require collective solutions, such as environmental protection, public health, or infrastructure."For example:"Climate change results from aggregate actions that harm others, yet enforcing emissions reductions could be seen as an initiation of force against individuals or corporations."Public goods like roads, education, and defense require taxation, which the NAP might label as aggression, leaving no clear path to fund or manage such necessities."3. Assumes Absolute Property Rights"Property Rights Are Not Universally Agreed Upon: The NAP assumes that property rights are fundamental and self-evident, yet property systems are human constructs that vary across cultures and contexts."For example:"Indigenous communities often view land as communal rather than private, making the enforcement of private property rights in such contexts potentially aggressive."Historical Injustice: Many property holdings result from historical aggression (e.g., colonization, slavery). The NAP offers no clear guidance on addressing these injustices because enforcing reparations could violate the principle."4. Fails to Account for Power Imbalances"Inequality and Coercion:"The NAP does not account for systemic power imbalances that can lead to de facto coercion without overt aggression."For example:"A worker "choosing" between starvation and accepting exploitative labor conditions may not face physical aggression, but their choices are constrained by economic coercion."Corporate monopolies can dominate markets and restrict freedom without violating the NAP, yet they create conditions of harm or dependency."5. Incompatibility with Emergency Situations"Moral Exceptions: The NAP struggles with situations where initiating force might be morally justified or necessary to prevent greater harm."For example:"Breaking into a cabin to survive in a blizzard technically violates the NAP but might be considered ethically justifiable."Preventive action, such as disarming someone threatening violence, could be seen as aggression under the NAP, even if it avoids greater harm."6. Over-Simplification of Ethics"Moral Complexity: Ethical decision-making often involves balancing competing values, such as individual rights, collective welfare, and justice. The NAP reduces morality to a single principle, ignoring the complexity of real-world dilemmas."Utilitarian Concerns: Following the NAP rigidly could lead to suboptimal outcomes, such as allowing preventable suffering or harm if addressing it would require "aggression.""7. Practical Limitations"Enforcement Dilemmas: Even within a system governed by the NAP, enforcing the principle requires some authority to define and address aggression. For instance:"Resolving disputes over property boundaries or contractual breaches might involve coercive mechanisms, contradicting the NAP."A purely voluntary system lacks a practical means of ensuring compliance or protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation or harm."8. Historical and Theoretical Criticism"Historical Evidence: Societies that have operated on principles akin to the NAP (e.g., laissez-faire capitalism) have often resulted in significant inequality, exploitation, and harm, suggesting that the principle is insufficient for creating equitable or stable societies."Philosophical Counterarguments: Thinkers like Karl Marx or John Rawls argue that focusing solely on individual rights and property ignores the broader social and structural forces that shape human relationships and justice."While the Non-Aggression Principle provides a simple and appealing ethical framework, its oversimplification of complex moral and social issues renders it problematic in practice. It fails to account for ambiguous definitions of aggression, systemic power imbalances, collective action needs, and situations where initiating force might prevent greater harm. Ultimately, the NAP's rigid adherence to individual rights and property neglects the interconnected and nuanced realities of human society.""when next bitcoin roundtable?"GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

Dr. Vonda Wright discusses the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and the importance of recognizing and addressing the symptoms. She emphasizes the need for doctors to listen to women's concerns and provide appropriate care. Dr. Wright also highlights the role of hormones in musculoskeletal health and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. She advocates for a proactive approach to bone health and overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of mobility and exercise. Dr. Wright encourages women to be active participants in their healthcare and to advocate for themselves. Takeaways The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause affects 70-80% of women in perimenopause and can manifest in various musculoskeletal symptoms. Women often face challenges in getting a proper diagnosis and treatment for their symptoms, with many being told that their symptoms are all in their head or simply a part of aging. Hormone replacement therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms and improving musculoskeletal health in menopausal women. Preventive measures, such as anti-inflammatory nutrition, building lean muscle mass, and maintaining mobility, can help support musculoskeletal health. Women should be active participants in their healthcare and advocate for themselves, seeking out doctors who are knowledgeable about menopause and its impact on musculoskeletal health. https://www.instagram.com/drvondawright/ Dr. Wright's Health Summit Read Dr. Wright's article here Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.
