AMI Procedure and The Future of Amputations Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital   "For 200 years there has been no real difference in amputation; it's technique and how it's done." Do you know anything in our world that hasn't evolved in 200 years? No! This was a statement that Dr. Carty stated today in our conversation and I was in disbelief. How could that be? With so many engineering marvels happening at an exorbitant rate it is only natural to turn our eyes on the other side of this coin, the surgical procedure. Prosthetics have evolved and become more advanced than ever before but our residual limbs are the same they have always been, not allowing amputees to truly reap the benefits of these technological advancements, but that is changing. Dr. Carty with the help of Dr. Hugh Herr at MIT worked together to improve the human body to be a more synergistic with the devices of today and the future. Dr. Matthew Carty-Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon   Dr. Hugh Herr-Bilateral below knee amputee, biophysicist, mechanical engineer, co-director of MIT Media Lab   The Agonist/Antagonist Myoneural Interface (AMI) procedure was born out of the ideas of two men who each had something they were searching for to improve functionality of a residual limb and to make it more compatible with the future of prosthetics. I am excited to share that I will be heading to Boston this weekend to have Dr. Carty perform this procedure on me, as a study candidate, and in hopes to improve my overall functionality. I am truly very excited for this opportunity. Join us in today's Real Talk as Dr. Carty goes deep to explain the process of creating, changing, and implementing a new medical procedures, and what exactly the AMI is and what the hopeful outcomes are of a successful surgery. I am truly honored and  appreciated the time you spent with me to record this episode in the midst of your busy schedule, Dr. Carty, and I look forward to working with you soon. See you win Boston! Enjoy this deep and impactful interview and be sure to subscribe to my Vlog channel on YouTube @OneLegis Enough-BAW to follow my journey through this amazing experience. Have an amazing week ahead, Warriors! And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,

I lived in Los Angeles for seven years and it really grinds my gears to see "protestors" pretend to care about their community and the city. I know from experience, they don't.  DreamRareLinks.com

In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Raquel Devillé, a skilled therapist specializing in neurodiversity. They explore the complexities of living with ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivities, and how these experiences can manifest in daily life—especially for highly sensitive individuals. Key Topics Covered: The meaning and nuances of neurodiversity (beyond labels and diagnoses) Executive functioning, rigid thinking, masking, and sensory overload How somatic therapies like TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and brainspotting support trauma healing The difference between neurotypical and neurodivergent experiences, and why “normal” might not exist at all Raquel's perspective on labels and diagnosis—why she prefers to avoid them The spontaneous tremoring response and its impact on healing The overlap between ADHD and autism, especially in women Managing everyday challenges like disorganization, distraction, and overwhelm How Raquel organizes her spices alphabetically—and what that says about her brain! How tremoring can reduce stress, sugar cravings, and even trauma-related symptoms The importance of recognizing your own needs and finding therapies that work for your unique wiring Raquel's Approach: Raquel explains her integrative approach, combining TRE, somatic experiencing, and brainspotting to help clients release trauma and stress stored in the body. She discusses why spontaneous tremoring can be a powerful reset for the nervous system and how somatic work differs from cognitive therapy by engaging deeper brain regions like the limbic system and the brainstem.

Amid the chaos, Reed jokes about his time as a RadioShack manager, and when everyone else's phones go off with an Amber Alert, Riker says Reed didn't get one because even automated systems know he doesn't care. The episode rounds out with Armstead urging folks not to forget T.I., and the musicians in the group issue a cautionary message to up-and-coming creatives before signing off.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson get real about the unglamorous side of the game—from sore feet to grooming routines. They joke about aging bodies, beard care, and whether it’s weird for guys to say “good night” on the phone. Chris reframes draft day as the “replacement system,” spotlighting the heartbreak for players leaving the league. The crew celebrates SGA’s MVP win and breaks down why OKC is one of the smartest-built teams in years. They criticize Minnesota’s game plan, call for Ant Edwards to expand his offensive bag, and stress that future titles will take serious work. Wade shares love for Melo’s Hall of Fame shoutout, and Bob declares himself a new Florida Panthers fan. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview my very good friend Evalyn about what it's like to be a person of Transgender Experience.  We successfully dispel many of the myths about people of trans experience, including bathrooms, hormones, and the very unreal threat of the Trans Army.  We dive into how it is that Evalyn found herself on this path, what it is like for her to be a person of trans experience, and why one would go through all of the considerable hurdles to be in her shoes.  This is a very simple, yet eloquent exploration into what it's actually like to be a person of trans experience, and how Evalyn views the world through her eyes.  We have a lot of fun too.  : )I welcome your thoughts on this episode!
