🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💉 Hydrocortisone Saves Lives:The 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) showed a clear mortality benefit and reduced need for intubation in severe CAP patients treated with hydrocortisone.📊 Guidelines Are Catching Up:The SCCM (2024) and ERS now recommend steroids for severe CAP, while ATS/IDSA updates are still pending.🔥 Redefining “Severe”:Patients requiring high FiO₂ (>50%), noninvasive or mechanical ventilation, or PSI >130 meet criteria for steroid therapy — even outside the ICU.🍬 Main Risk = Hyperglycemia:Elevated glucose was the most consistent adverse effect, but rates of GI bleed and secondary infection were not increased.🧭 Early, Targeted Use Matters:Start hydrocortisone within 24 hours of identifying severity — especially in patients with high CRP (>150) or strong inflammatory response. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Corticosteroids have long sparked debate in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia — once viewed with skepticism, now increasingly supported by high-quality evidence. In this episode, Dr. Alex Chapa joins the REBEL Core Cast team to explore how the 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) reshaped practice and guideline recommendations for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). 📖 Historical Context & Long-Standing Skepticism For decades, the use of steroids in pneumonia was controversial.Early Use: Steroids entered practice in the 1940s and 50s for autoimmune inflammation, but there was immediate hesitation regarding secondary superinfections.Mixed Data: From the 1980s to the 2000s, small studies emerged on severe pneumonia and ARDS, but the data was inconsistent. Different trials used varying definitions of “severe” pneumonia and different C-reactive protein (CRP) cutoffs, making the data “spread” and easy to “cherry pick” to support or deny a benefit.Past Guidelines: This uncertainty was reflected in official guidelines:2007 (ATS/IDSA): The American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America did not address the topic due to insufficient data.2019 (ATS/IDSA): Pre-COVID, the guidelines recommended against using corticosteroids in severe CAP. They acknowledged no benefit for non-severe pneumonia, but the data for severe pneumonia was considered too weak to endorse.Pre-Trial Consensus: Prior to 2023, the consensus was to avoid steroids in non-severe pneumonia, while severe pneumonia remained a “gray area” with no treatment showing a clear mortality difference. 📜 The Landmark Cape Cod Trial (NEJM 2023) The Cape Cod trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2023, reignited the discussion by providing robust, positive data.Trial Design: Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.Intervention: 800 patients randomized to two groups, Hydrocortisone as a continuous infusion (200mg/day) versus a placebo infusion.Taper: On day 4, clinicians would decide whether to continue the infusion or begin a taper based on clinical response.Population: Patients with severe CAP, defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria:Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) > 130.O2 by FiO2 ratio < 300.Need for mechanical or non-invasive ventilation (with PEEP ≥ 5).Need for high FiO2 (>50%) via non-rebreather or heated high flow.Primary Outcomes: Death for any cause 6.2% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.9% (placebo)Secondary outcomes:Death from any cause at 90 days 9.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 14.7% (placebo)Endotracheal intubation 18% (hydrocortisone) vs 29% (placebo)Hospital-acquired infections 9.8% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.1% (placebo)Gastrointestinal bleeding 2.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 3.3% (placebo)Vasopressor initiation by day 28 15.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 25.0% (placebo)Key Findings: The trial demonstrated superiority for hydrocortisone 📋 Updated Guidelines & Current Practice The Cape Cod trial, along with subsequent meta-analyses, has begun to change official recommendations.Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM): In 2024, an SCCM expert panel, reviewing the Cape Cod trial and 18 others, strongly recommended corticosteroids for severe CAP. They concluded that steroids reduce mortality and the need for mechanical ventilation.Meta-Analysis (Smit et al.): A 2024 meta-analysis in Lancet Respiratory confirmed the 30-day mortality benefit.European Respiratory Society (ERS): The ERS has issued a recommendation to use steroids for severe pneumonia but still urges caution regarding side effects.ATS/IDSA: As of the podcast recording, the ATS/IDSA had not yet updated their 2019 guidelines. 🛠️ Practical Application for Clinicians Defining “Severe” CAP: The key is to identify patients who qualify as “severe”. This can be done using:Scoring Tools: The PSI is the best validated tool for mortality but is cumbersome. Simpler tools like CURB-65 or SMART-COP are practical and acceptable for defining severity. 2023 meta-analysis from by Zaki et al showed both work well, but CURB-65 has better mortality prediction early on.Cape Cod Criteria: Any patient meeting the trial’s inclusion criteria (e.g., high-flow O2, non-invasive ventilation) qualifies, regardless of location (ED, floor, or ICU).Biomarkers: While not required, a CRP level was used in many studies. A CRP > 150 (Cape Cod) or > 204 (Smit meta-analysis) strongly indicates severe inflammation that would benefit from steroids.Clinical Judgment: A patient who looks “sick,” has “soft” blood pressure, or has dense infiltrates and high oxygen needs (e.g., >50% FiO2 on high flow) is a candidate.Adverse Effects:Hyperglycemia: This was the most significant risk identified, with rates between 6-12%. This is a primary concern, especially in patient populations with high BMI.GI Bleed & Secondary Infection: Fears of these side effects, which contributed to historical skepticism, were not borne out in the Cape Cod trial. The data does not support being overly concerned.Other Side Effects: Mood changes, delirium, insomnia, and agitation in the elderly are known side effects of steroids that were not specifically addressed in the trial but remain clinical concerns. 🔄 Clinical Pathway for Steroids in Severe CAP Unanswered Questions & Future Research Possible remaining questions:Biomarkers: Can we find a more precise CRP level to distinguish moderate from severe disease? Could other markers like ferritin or IL-6 be used? Dosing & Tapering: How much immunomodulation is needed, and when is it truly safe to taper?Gender Differences: Early data suggests females may respond better to steroids and experience fewer side effects. The question of female patients with severe CAP require less corticosteroids needs further exploration. 👉 Clinical Bottom Line The current literature, spearheaded by the Cape Cod trial, now supports the use of corticosteroids in severe community-acquired pneumonia. The best evidence currently points to hydrocortisone, started early (within 24 hours) after severity is identified using a validated tool. While hyperglycemia is a risk, the previous fears of GI bleeding and secondary infections were not substantiated in recent, rigorous trials. 📚 References Chapa-Rodriguez A, Abou-Elmagd T, O’Rear C, Narechania S.

In this episode, I critically examine the widespread claim that quantum physics provides scientific proof for magic, esotericism, and spiritual practice. I explore what prominent scholars have actually proposed about possible links between quantum mechanics, consciousness, and interconnected phenomena, carefully situating these ideas within their proper academic and disciplinary contexts.I then address why concepts such as the observer effect, wavefunction collapse, entanglement, and energy are so frequently misunderstood and misused in spiritual and New Age discourse, paying particular attention to questions of scale, decoherence, and category error. Throughout, my aim is not to dismiss lived experience or magical practice, but to argue for intellectual precision and methodological honesty.I conclude by acknowledging areas where scientific inquiry remains genuinely open, especially in relation to consciousness, while explaining why quantum physics, as it currently stands, cannot be used to legitimise esoteric practices.CONNECT & SUPPORT

In this conversation, we talk with Scott Black about how complacency shows up quietly—skipping the notes, assuming nothing changed, letting small red flags slide—and how that leads to "oh no" moments. We dig into why consistency isn't boring, it's protective: for pets, for clients, and for your team. Scott shares practical ways to raise the bar through screening, documentation, and clearer boundaries around what you will and won't do. The goal is simple: stay professional, stay prepared, and keep your head in the game. Main topics: Complacency vs. consistent care Documentation that prevents mistakes Screening for risk and fit Insurance, liability, and boundaries Emergency planning and preparedness Main takeaway: "If you're consistent, you won't get complacent." That line hits because complacency rarely shows up as a big decision—it shows up as a skipped step. You stop re-reading the notes. You assume the meds are the same. You let a red flag wait until the meet-and-greet. Consistency is what keeps your head in the game when the schedule is full and your brain is tired. It's not about being robotic—it's about building a repeatable standard that protects the pets, the client, your team, and you. About our guest: Scott Black is a veteran pet care professional with 20 years in business, known for his thorough, safety-first approach to pet sitting and client communication. He emphasizes consistency, documentation, and preparedness as the foundation for preventing avoidable emergencies and liability issues. Scott is passionate about professional standards, ongoing training, and helping newer pet sitters avoid mistakes it took him years to learn. He regularly shares insights in industry groups and encourages pet care pros to keep the "P" in professional pet sitting.

Clear water starts with the right filter, not a monster pump. We dive into the real drivers of pool clarity and ease of maintenance, showing why filter sizing determines circulation, energy use, and how often you clean. If you've battled cloudy water, sluggish skimmers, or a cleaner that crawls, the culprit may be a filter that's too small for your pool and conditions.We break down how different filters behave under load. Large cartridge filters spread debris across big surface area, keeping PSI stable and flow strong for months. DE and sand deliver great clarity but show faster performance drop-offs as dirt builds, making the pressure gauge your best early warning. You'll learn clean PSI baselines, the 10 PSI rule for action, and when a quick backwash can restore flow. We also map practical sizing: for around 15,000 gallons, a 300 to 400 square foot cartridge, a 60 square foot DE, or a 300 to 400 pound sand filter is a smart starting point. Pump horsepower isn't the hero for every filter. Sand filters often perform worse with oversized pumps, while large cartridges can take advantage of higher flow without choking. We share field stories, from a 15,000-gallon pool that ran beautifully for years on modest pumps thanks to a 420 square foot cartridge, to the chronic struggles of above‑ground kits saddled with tiny 25 to 50 square foot filters. The message is simple: size the filter generously for your gallonage and lifestyle, track your clean PSI, and prioritize circulation as much as filtration. Your reward is clearer water, less maintenance, and a system that's far more forgiving during storms, parties, and heavy pollen weeks.• why circulation matters as much as filtration• how undersized filters choke flow and raise PSI• cartridge vs sand vs DE behavior under load• reading clean PSI and spotting 10 PSI rise• when to backwash and when to clean• recommended sizes for 15k and larger pools• why sand dislikes oversized pumps• tandem cartridges and large-pool strategies• above‑ground kit pitfalls and upgradesSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Amb. (ret) Karl Hofmann is CEO of the recently launched Health X Partners (HXP), a parent company under which Population Services International (PSI) and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AID Foundation (EGPAF) now operate. He explains his personal story—from a successful diplomatic path centered in Africa to a pivot and second career as President and CEO of PSI starting in 2007. And he explains the logic by which PSI and EGPAF agreed in 2024 to form HXP to achieve greater efficiencies and prepare prudently for the end of the 25-year era, begun around 2000, that has generated an “amazing chapter of human progress” in health but which, it had become increasingly obvious, would not last indefinitely. As the unforeseen tsunami of Trump 2.0 hit in early 2025, it was both fortuitous and doubly-risky for HXP, as it stood itself up. The new leadership at FSI and EGPAF suddenly had to come to terms with 50% reductions in staff, budgets, and programs, while consolidating and integrating audit, HR, and IT teams. Change had been expected, but it “turned out there was a lot more change” than anticipated. How to view 2026? Profound uncertainty. Yet there is also one clear message to NGO implementers: focus even more on cost effectiveness; and get much closer to needs on the ground, networked and connected to leverage scale and innovation.

Today's focus is on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Our expert guest will help us understand this therapy technique, its processes, and the overarching goal of this method. Join us to learn more! Dr. Carissa Gustafson, PMH-C, is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in perinatal psychology. She supports clients from preconception through parenting, with a particular focus on pregnancy and postpartum care. As the author of Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks, she utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients learn to relate to their thoughts and feelings with acceptance and compassion, while aligning their behavior with their values. Dr. Gustafson sees clients online throughout California and in person at Village Birth, a part of Heartship Psychological Services. In addition to seeing clients, she has been an adjunct professor and clinical faculty at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology.  Show Highlights: Dr. Gustafson's path to serving perinatal mental health clients through ACT Understanding ACT as a therapy technique The unpredictable nuances of the perinatal journey align perfectly with the core processes of ACT, especially for high-achieving women. The need to be present with our difficult emotions Learning to “surf the waves” of emotions and feelings Compassion is essential because of the shame and blame we put on ourselves. ACT core processes: mindfulness, acceptance/compassion, cognitive defusion, the observer self, values, and committed/valued action  “Bringing presence to our pain brings peace.” We don't want to make an enemy of our internal experiences. ACT offers a clear path to relief for PMADs if someone is willing to use the techniques. Psychological health can be improved with flexibility in our thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. Advocacy and agency are vital! Learn more about Dr. Gustafson's book, training courses, and workbook (get yours for free at Dr. Gustafson's website!)

We walk through five measurable health indicators that reveal whether your business can actually support you long-term. From market fit and client retention to utilization, unit economics, and cash flow, we explain what to measure and why it matters. Whether you're solo or have a team, these indicators apply across the board. Our goal is to help you diagnose problems clearly and build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Main topics:  Market fit and demand Revenue durability and retention Utilization and capacity efficiency Unit economics and profit Cash flow resilience Main takeaway: "If you're not profitable at one visit, adding more visits will never fix it." This is one of the hardest truths in pet care—and one of the most important. Being busy can hide serious problems in pricing, labor costs, and efficiency. When margins are broken at the unit level, scaling only multiplies stress and burnout. Real growth starts by understanding what it costs to deliver one walk, one visit, one day of care—and pricing accordingly. Profit isn't greed; it's what allows you to build a business that lasts.

Ever heard a variable speed pump scream for a minute on a cold morning and wondered if the motor is toast? We dig into the real-world signs that separate normal quirks from costly failures, sharing field-tested ways to read noises, clouding, and pressure spikes without overreacting or replacing parts you don't need.We start with cold-start pump behavior and why grease viscosity makes a VS motor squeal briefly in chilly weather, then move to the mess that follows a season's first rain. You'll learn why that initial storm dumps more dirt and organics, how dilution erodes free chlorine, and the fastest way to recover with targeted shock, brushing, and filter management as PSI climbs. From there, we unpack the “DE sneeze” that can puff powder back through returns after a filter clean, what's normal for quad DE designs, and how to protect sensitive hardware like pressure-side cleaners, salt cells, and in-floor systems by checking screens and flow paths.Air in the pump lid gets its own spotlight. We explain the small bubble you might see at low RPM, how to test system tightness at full speed with the air relief open, and where suction-side leaks actually hide—lid O-rings, unions, valve stems, threaded fittings, and bleeder assemblies. You'll get practical fixes to stop drain-back, improve priming, and extend motor life. Finally, we cover chemical odor safety. Acid and chlorine carry expected smells, but a wet trichlor bucket or feeder can create a dangerous gas mix. We outline safe opening steps, storage tips to keep tablets dry, and simple habits that protect your lungs and your route.• Cold-start pump squeal that fades in minutes in low temperatures• Cloudy water and debris spikes after first seasonal rain• Shock levels to recover diluted chlorine and haze• DE and cartridge “hiccup” on startup and how to manage it• Protecting pressure-side cleaners and in-floor systems from blowback• Air in pump lids at low RPM versus real suction leaks• Diagnosing drain-back and hard-to-prime systems• Chemical odor basics and triSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Host Tim McNeely welcomes Dickie Ball, owner of Summit Handpiece Express, to uncover how simple handpiece maintenance and quality repair can dramatically improve a dental practice's efficiency, patient care, and exit valuation. This episode explains why small operational habits matter and how they translate into real financial gains. The conversation covers practical topics including proper lubrication (before every autoclave cycle), correct PSI settings, burr quality, autoclave calibration, and the dangers of gray-market handpieces. Dickie explains the most common mistakes practices make—insufficient lubrication, incorrect PSI, and poor sterilization practices—and shows how fixing these fixes reduces downtime and repair frequency. Dickie describes differences between cheap repairs and quality repairs, why Summit uses ceramic ABEC-9 bearings, and how selecting an established, responsive repair partner affects longevity and warranty performance. He also discusses DSO-level reporting: quarterly repair summaries, trend analysis, and simple protocol changes that lower costs and boost EBITDA. Listeners will hear how team education and clear protocols (checklists for high- and low-speed handpieces, chair-side PSI checks, and immediate removal of malfunctioning instruments) improve staff productivity and patient experience. Dickie shares Summit's family-owned approach, easy prepaid shipping and free estimates, and resources like a free laminated maintenance sheet and training he delivered at the Florida Dental Convention. Key takeaways: routine, correct maintenance cuts repair costs; quality parts and repairs lengthen handpiece life; empower your team with simple systems to prevent failures; and partnering with the right repair vendor improves finances and clinical operations.

Ryan welcomes Dalia Burgoin, a trainer and speaker on psi abilities, to discuss the life experiences that led her to awaken her psychic senses and develop the ability to see without using her eyes, even while wearing blindfolds. They explore cases of blind individuals learning to see and read, as well as the emergence of telepathic communication in non-verbal autistic children, like her daughter Lidu, as showcased in The Telepathy Tapes.

In this episode, Collin talks with certified cat behavior consultant Laura Cassiday of Positive Vibes Cat Behavior and Training about decoding feline body language, aggression, and litter box issues. Laura shares her process for understanding the "why" behind cat behavior and offers practical steps for sitters in fearful or aggressive cat situations. Together, they discuss the importance of setting client expectations, documenting visits, and advocating for enrichment. You'll walk away with actionable insight to keep both you and your feline clients safe, happy, and understood. Main topics: Understanding cat body language and signals Managing aggression and fearful cats Litter box problems and environment setup Communicating with clients about cat behavior Enrichment for shy or stressed cats Main takeaway: "Working with animals comes with a whole lot of people." Most of us got into pet care because we love animals—the quiet moments, the connection, the work itself. But every visit, every behavior concern, and every hard day comes with a human on the other end who's worried, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. The job isn't just reading body language or scooping litter; it's translating what we're seeing into clear, compassionate communication. When we do that well, we don't just care for pets—we build trust, set expectations, and help families feel supported. Professional pet care is as much about people skills as it is animal skills. About our guest: Laura Cassiday is a certified cat behavior consultant (IAABC) and founder of Positive Vibes Cat Behavior and Training, based in Baltimore, Maryland. She specializes in solving complex feline behavior challenges, from litter box avoidance to multi-cat aggression. With a background in shelter behavior and a master's degree in professional writing, Laura combines science-based methods with compassionate communication to help cats and their people live harmoniously. She's also pursuing a graduate degree in Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare and works part-time with Forever Friends Cat Sitting.

Send us a textOn today's episode, we're sitting down with the incredible Kayleigh Summers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & friend of PSI. Kayleigh supports folks in the perinatal period especially as it relates to birth trauma - including consultation, therapy, support groups, workshops, a blog, sharing her lived experience at PSI trainings, and a little ‘ol podcast called The Birth Trauma Mama. (In case you didn't pick up on the sarcasm, there isn't anything little about Kayleigh's podcast … at all!) Today, we'll be chatting about the lived experience of an Amniotic Fluid Embolism survivor, which includes vivid details that may feel difficult for some listeners to hear. Please tune in with that knowledge and pause at any point, if you need. We were honored to sit down and record this conversation. So, without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Kayleigh.Mentioned on today's episode:The Birth Trauma Mama PodcastHope for HIEPSI's Perinatal Loss TrainingPodcast: The NICU Space; Dear NICU Mama, TV: Task; Nobody Wants ThisBook: The Academy; Interested in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!

Our discussion focuses on the ways fertility challenges impact mental health, navigating misinformation and pressure from “influencer experts” on social media, and how evidence-based fertility education can empower and support people mentally and emotionally during their reproductive journey.  Dr. Lucky Sekhon is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, obstetrician-gynecologist, and assistant clinical professor at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. She is the author of The Lucky Egg, a comprehensive, myth-busting guide to understanding reproductive health and overcoming fertility—written to empower anyone navigating the complex and confusing world of fertility. Widely recognized for her expertise in egg freezing, IVF, and LGBTQ+ family building, Dr. Sekhon is a trusted voice in reproductive medicine known for blending cutting-edge science with deeply compassionate patient care. Beyond her busy clinical practice, Dr. Sekhon actively publishes and presents research at national conferences and is passionate about making evidence-based fertility information accessible to all. Through her social media presence, blog, and community outreach, she has become a leading advocate for closing the fertility knowledge gap and helping people make informed, confident decisions about their reproductive futures.  Show Highlights: Dr. Lucky's WHY for writing The Lucky Egg was prompted by her pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Lucky's desire to create a “Fertility Bible” to help people What to expect from The Lucky Egg Fertility challenges are as much a mental health issue as a physical one. There is a wide range of grief experiences with infertility; each journey is unique. Undiagnosed conditions, like endometriosis and PCOS, can complicate the fertility journey. There is bad information on social media. Beware! Dr. Lucky's challenges in helping patients weed through misinformation and see evidence-based facts Common themes of misinformation: fearmongering, distrust, quick fixes, and fake testimonials Dr. Lucky's commitment to evidence-based treatments Dr. Lucky's checklist to evaluate a clinic for quality and success How The Lucky Egg helps people understand the language of embryology, medications, and protocols, even offering scripts and prompts to help deal with uncomfortable questions from others “Who is The Lucky Egg written for?” Messages of hope from Dr. Lucky: “If you're unsure about your next steps in your fertility journey, you are not alone. Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples. This is a unique struggle with a lot of pressure. Prioritize your mental health, use resources, and find a supportive community.” Resources: Connect with Dr. Lucky Sekhon: Website, Instagram, and The Lucky Egg Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Before discussing today's show, I'd like to provide some updates on what to expect from the podcast in 2026. First of all, there will be no more Behind the Sessions episodes. There could also be changes in the frequency of episodes at some point, but we'll see how that goes. Life shifts and different needs arise that are pulling me in other directions. Everyone has times when shifts are needed to make space for pressing needs, and that's what I'm experiencing in my life. I'm still excited about the show and the ten-year milestone that we'll reach in 2026. Remember, the archive of episodes (almost 500!) is always available through our website.  Today's episode brings important information about how parenthood changes everything, including your sex life. There are new complexities to intimacy and sex after having a child, and parents need to be prepared so they can protect their connection. Our expert guest answers questions about why passion fades, the sexual-emotional cycle that couples get stuck in, and the path back to each other in your relationship. Join us to learn more! Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy is an AASECT-certified sex therapist and the author of Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids. Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, she helps couples navigate sex, desire, and connection in the whirlwind of parenting, even when life and kids make it feel impossible.  Show Highlights: Understanding the role of a sex therapist, what sex therapy entails, and Rebecca's journey to be a sex therapist Identity shifts and body changes that come with having a baby can greatly affect your sex life. There is much shame and stigma around talking about sex and sexuality. The need to be flexible and curious with your partner Factors that impact a couple's ability to connect and be intimate: time, hormones, exhaustion, and resentment Focusing on the “micromoments” to show your connection to your partner Common themes in sex therapy for new parents Reinvesting in the partnership and understanding each other's intimacy needs The need for disconnection and solitude (Everyone needs alone time!) The difficult mental shift from “Mommy mode” to adult partner Dealing with mismatched levels of desire, which could become more pronounced after kids Dr. Rebecca's tips for finding your way back to your partner: Become comfortable talking about sex. Be flexible during the early-parent years. Be open to other intimacies besides intercourse. Consider scheduling sexual activity. Make sure your partner feels seen, appreciated, and desired. Find ways to protect your time for intimacy. The importance of pleasure in all forms of intimacy (“Nobody wants bad sex!”) Resources: Connect with Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy: Website, Instagram, and Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Today's episode finishes the four-part series on perinatal mental health during the holidays. It is also the final Behind the Sessions episode because life's circumstances are requiring me to shift, change, and prioritize other things as 2025 comes to a close. I will periodically add a solo episode in the future when I want to dive deeper into a relevant subject. There could even be a reduction in the frequency of episodes in 2026, as I see how my focus is needed in other areas. This shift is an example of my need to “practice what I preach” by protecting my time, space, and mental health as life changes. There is an extensive archive of episodes (almost 500 of them!) on my website from which you can search topics of interest to you. Please take advantage of the amazing resources available there! Today's episode focuses on facing the challenges of the postpartum period during the holidays. Join me! Show Highlights: Hey, Mama: You ARE doing enough! When you throw PPA or PPD into the mix, the holidays can be overwhelming. Doing ALL the things will add more stress and cause burnout. Truths about postpartum life: It's a BIG change! Worrying about social gatherings and the risk of sickness for your baby is completely normal. You may feel a greater sense of disconnect and loneliness. Watch out for the “comparison trap” that social media can cause. The potential for overstimulation is great. The underlying differences between expectations and reality Make it through the holidays in whatever ways you can—and that's okay. Holiday problems for people-pleasers An increase in pressure and a decrease in emotional bandwidth can create the perfect storm of stress. Red flags that signal a perinatal mental health condition Steps to better self-care: Manage your self-talk–your inner voice. Pause, sit, and breathe to settle your body and mind. Realize that you don't have to do everything you've always done. Add self-compassion to your life. Protect your energy by resting, limiting social engagements, and setting boundaries. Ask for help—and accept it when it's offered. The importance of reframing what the holidays mean to you You and your family deserve peace–not perfection. Prioritizing your healing over traditions, expectations, and plans is okay—and encouraged.  Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Can human beings access information about events before they occur?And if so - what does that imply about time, consciousness, and the brain?In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, neuroscientist and cognitive researcher Dr. Julia Mossbridge joins Dr. Tevin Naidu to explore decades of research on precognition, presentiment, and time perception - and why these findings remain controversial within mainstream science.We discuss: • What precognition actually is (and what it isn't)• Presentiment experiments and physiological anticipation• Why anomalous data is often dismissed in science• Whether time may be non-linear• Consciousness beyond standard brain-based models• The role of intuition, creativity, and uncertainty• What intellectual humility looks like at the edges of scienceThis conversation is exploratory, agnostic, and evidence-driven - not an argument for belief, but an invitation to examine the data and the assumptions behind our models of mind and time.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) — Introduction: Julia Mossbridge & the Question of Time and Mind(03:45) — Julia's Path: From Neuroscience to Studying Psi & Time Perception(07:40) — What Is Precognition?

Crystal-clear water means more than fine micron ratings; it means steady flow, low pressure spikes, and a filter you can actually live with. We dive into the real-world reasons cartridge filters outperform DE and sand for most pools, from massive surface area that keeps PSI stable to a simple cleaning routine that skips the gray dust and regulatory headaches of diatomaceous earth.We walk through how pleated media provides 7x the surface area of common DE setups, why that matters for circulation, and how stable flow prevents dead zones, improves skimming, and reduces algae risk. You'll hear practical comparisons: DE at 3–5 microns, cartridge around 10–20, sand near 40—and why your eye won't notice the difference between 5 and 15 microns, but your spa spillway will notice the flow. We also cover where sand or DE still makes sense, especially in high-dust regions where backwashing is a lifeline, and for homeowners who need the simplest possible maintenance routine.If you run a variable speed pump, this conversation is a must. Cartridges pair naturally with higher throughput, keeping performance consistent at elevated speeds and making the most of modern 3 HP total-rated motors. We break down service realities—DE recharging, grid tears, cracked manifolds, and messy burps—versus the straightforward hose-and-go workflow of cartridges. Then we talk replacement cycles, brand recommendations for elements, and why most new builds default to cartridges because of both performance and local DE disposal rules.• Why cartridge surface area preserves flow and reduces PSI rise• Micron ratings vs what the human eye can see• When high-dirt regions may favor sand or DE• Variable speed pump compatibility and throughput• Cleaning workflows and mess: DE recharging vs quick cartridge rinse• Common failure points in DE and sand that cartridges avoid• Cost and replacement cycles for grids vs cartridges• Sizing guidance using 420–520 sq ft examples• Builder trends and local DE disposal rulesSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Today's guest shares how she turned her difficulties into a passion for educating and supporting others. Her postpartum journey inspired her upcoming short film Postpartum. Join us to learn more! Brittani Noel is a biracial filmmaker, actor, and mom of two. Her creative works delve into the emotional and psychological complexities of identity, race, and motherhood. Her award-winning short, The Other, examined the international racism experienced growing up mixed-race, garnering an official selection at the Oscar-qualifying Flickers Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIFF). Her film, Postpartum, continues this thread through the lens of maternal mental health. As an actor, Brittani most recently appeared in Leah McKendrick's feature, Scrambled, opposite Yvonne Strahovski, and shares the screen with Tom Everett Scott in the comedy feature Rockbottom. Whether behind the camera or in front of it, Brittani is committed to telling stories that scare her a little and stay with the viewer for a long time.   Show Highlights: Brittani's filmmaking journey: How it all began Dealing with sleep deprivation Persistent anxiety (to a certain extent) is part of motherhood. Big changes in life and relationship dynamics when a new baby arrives Maternal/paternal leave and parental support in other countries Postpartum explores the social impact and societal expectations of new mothers. The narrative Brittani wants to share with others through the film Stigma and guilt around “trying to cope” with new motherhood (We need more conversations and support!) The need for more education around pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum Options that could be changed to make postpartum much better for new moms Resources: Connect with Brittani Noel and Postpartum: Postpartum (short film), Instagram Brittani Noel, and Instagram Postpartum film Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

This is the 3rd in a four-part Behind the Sessions series about coping during the holidays with various perinatal mental health challenges. Today's episode focuses on pregnancy loss. If you're in a time of grief over the loss of a child, you are not alone. Many people are carrying deep feelings of grief and loss during a time when celebrating with sparkles of joy and peace feels painfully out of sync with their reality. You certainly didn't ask for this, and now you have new, raw feelings to process. All of your feelings are real and valid. Everywhere you look, families are celebrating new babies and expected babies, and you may feel as if there is no safe space for your grief. You are probably experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions and waves of sadness and heartbreak. Let's talk about how you can cope during this time of extreme pressure to “put on a happy face.” Show Highlights: This holiday season is NOT what you anticipated or prepared for. Most people are unsure of what to say, and many of them will say the wrong things. The love you have (for someone you never got to meet) deserves to be honored. Honor it in whatever ways you feel are best for you. Your body is impacted by pregnancy loss, along with the emotional toll. Don't feel pressured to “show up” for others.  Two partners can experience and process grief in different ways; this can cause tension in your relationship. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Don't feel like you should feel “a certain way.”  Reframe with self-compassion and understanding.  Find meaningful ways to remember your baby and give your grief a place to rest.  Plan ahead for family gatherings by setting boundaries/expectations. Don't apologize for your grief and deep feelings of sadness. Support groups can be helpful when you're ready for them. Grief is not linear with nicely packaged stages. Allow yourself to feel your emotions in whatever way works for you.  My hope for you: “Be easy on yourself, approach your grief with compassion, give yourself time to process your feelings, and don't put pressure or timelines on your healing.” Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Our first episode in this series was about infertility; today's focus is on pregnancy. Our final two installments will cover pregnancy loss and postpartum. I'm discussing how holiday expectations might not align with what's happening. The holidays can feel like a mixed bag of joy and anticipation, while a lot of stress and pressure get thrown into the mix. We can't deny our emotional truth, because that complicates everything. The bottom line is that it's no small thing to be pregnant during the holidays, and figuring out how to manage everything may be extra challenging while growing a baby.  Show Highlights: Mixed feelings: joy, excitement, and maybe a struggle to overcome nausea Amplified pressure Regulating your emotional and physical self  Expectations, boundaries, and relational stress Typical examples and reasons you need self-compassion Perinatal mental health issues may leave you with sensory fatigue, irritability, and the pressure to be perfect. Feelings of loneliness and disconnection Financial strain and holiday spending pressure It's okay to slow down and set boundaries.  Tips for navigating the holidays while pregnant: Make mindset shifts as your priorities shift and change. Prioritize intentional rest and protect your downtime. Ask for help, delegate tasks, and learn to say NO.  Plan to ensure emotional safety. “You don't have to prove that you're doing enough.” Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Today's guest shares her family's NICU story and her beautiful book, Waiting for Max. She explains how the anxiety of a NICU stays with you for a long time and why she's dedicated to helping other families. Her book supports parents AND siblings who are waiting for their NICU baby to join the family at home. Join us! Emily Rosen is a mom, freelance creative director, copywriter, and children's book author. She has built her career working for top advertising agencies and brands.

She wrote her first children's book to help families going through experiences similar to hers.
